Your little girl is now all grown, and the Barbie pinks are no longer the most favorite thing about her room. Her room remains her haven, a place to sleep, meditate, escape from the pressures of adolescence, and just be herself. To help her fully express her true self, you want to eliminate all the childish items and replace them with décor that matches her personality. Even though her favorite things seem different and almost bizarre, your daughter will thank you for making her ‘fort’ a reality.
Her Room Should Be Fully Functional For Her
A teen’s bedroom is so much more than a sleeping place; she needs a place to sit and talk with friends, study, and explore her independence. As you work to transform her room into her space, work with her to create:
- A comfortable but cozy sleeping area
- A customized study area: a desk and chair where she will sit without straining and still accomplish a lot without distractions
- A place to lounge with her best friends
What To Do With The Wall
As the background, encourage the teen to select her favorite color and add some character with a bold print or geometric design. These wall decorations will be the first step in making her room truly customized to fit her desires. Next up, shop with her for removable wall décor (art, paintings, pictures, or posters) and help her create her favorite words using neon or lighted marquee signs.
Add A Hint Of Creativity
In addition to the wall art and the fixtures that make it work, consider adding an extra dimension to her room instead of the regular rectangular bed, try a hanging or round bed for that extra uniqueness. Other decorations that can add personality and unexpectedness include a swing or fish tank. To add an element of coziness, consider using curtains with soft colors and flowery patterns, soft throw pillows, faux fur rug, velvety wallpaper, and plush bedding.
How To Make A Small Room Work
Your teen will most likely not mind having a smaller room. If anything, she may love it better because it will be cozier and will be a fun place to hang with friends or a boyfriend. Use a more vertical study area to create space for her books, both above and below her desk. Also, place a small bench near her bed’s footboard or throw pillows and a rug at one corner for her friends to sit when they come by.
Your teenage daughter will have copious amounts of clothes, shoes, makeup, makeup brushes, souvenirs, and so many other products. You must ensure that all her items have sufficient space, or her room will look like a nightmare every single day. Consider having an in-built closet for her clothes and shoes, shelving for books and souvenirs, a dressing table with lights and drawers for her makeup and jewelry, and a cabinet wall around her bed for additional space. | <urn:uuid:f7a93979-5672-40bc-ab54-1f8fe369f81a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://decorationthoughts.com/5-excellent-tips-to-help-you-decorate-your-teenage-daughters-bedroom/ | 2020-07-05T09:52:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.936432 | 600 | [

Things you need to consider when you sell diabetic test strip
It is often considered that having diabetes means that you have high chances of fatality and your medical treatment is highly expensive in nature. The moment you discovered you have diabetes, you don’t have a choice but to undergo medical treatment at a high cost and at the same time, monitor your health through a diabetic test strip.
It is in fact true that most of these diabetic patients stock boxes of diabetic test strips in their homes as a way of preparation. In fact, a lot of them prefer to stock the item in boxes and not just in pieces. The biggest issue on this strip though is the fact that it bears an expiry date. Basically, the reason why most of diabetic patients store a lot of these test strips is because they fear of shortage. But the thing is that once you have undergone the medication, you won’t have to use the test strips regularly that is why there will always be excess in your supply. Since there is already excess in the supply of test strips in your home, you need to get rid of it eventually and one way to do so is to sell it to at least gain profit.
The Ultimate Guide to Health
It might pop up into your mind whether the selling that you will o is legal or not. To make it legal, make sure that you are selling those that really belong to you or own it. But if it isn’t, then it is otherwise. Even though you are just going to sell your excess supply, it doesn’t mean that it is easy to do so that is why you need to be fed by ideas on how to sell it properly.
First of all, it is important that you are able to choose your target properly. You must be able to identify that you are selling to legit diabetic patients. There are still instances wherein there is shortage of the supply for test strips that is why it is your duty to know what places they are for you to help.
Never overcharge your prices for your test strips. Remember that not all diabetic patients earn high income. There are also those who can’t even afford to undergo medication so overpricing the item will not help at all. Don’t forget to check on the expiry dates of these strips and just junk the expired ones.
Observe constant vigilance if you are the one buying the item. Make sure that you only transact to those legit sellers and make sure that you check the expiry dates of the items you bought as well as if it has been tampered or not. Diabetes is a serious matter that is why you need to make sure that you buy all the items you need for your medication and these must come from legit sellers. | <urn:uuid:1b5c6529-6606-43ae-838e-260764cd5183> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://exprimamedia.com/the-key-elements-of-great-products.html | 2020-07-05T11:25:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.9685 | 560 | [

When a Court makes orders for a parenting matter, they are binding on all parties and each party must comply with the orders. If someone does not comply with an order, they are considered to be in breach of a Court order and there are serious consequences, unless that person has a reasonable excuse to breach the Orders.
The Court considers a “reasonable excuse” to be:
- The person believed they had to act in a way that breached the orders to protect someone’s health or safety and the breach continued for no longer than necessary to protect that person’s health or safety; or
- The person did not understand that they were breaching orders because they did not understand their obligations and the Court is satisfied that person should be excused from the breach.
One example is that a parent may be concerned that the children are at risk in the other parent’s household due to drug abuse or family violence and not allow the children to spend overnight time with the other parent. That parent can then argue they had a reasonable excuse to breach the orders however, whether the Court will agree with that parent depends on a number of factors. These include, the evidence the parent had of the risk, how serious the risk was and what steps the parent has taken to facilitate time in a safe way.
If one party breaches orders, there are a number of options available to the other party, including:
- Attempting to discuss the breach with the other party (if it is safe to do so) or through solicitors to reach a resolution.
- Invite the other party to attend mediation or family dispute resolution to try and resolve the issue and potentially change the orders if they are not working.
- File a Contravention Application with the Court. For parenting matters you will require either your section 60i certificate from family dispute resolution or an Affidavit explaining why you are exempt from having a section 60i certificate.
If a Court finds a party to be in breach of orders, there are a number of orders the Court can make including; an order for make-up time, an order varying an existing order, an order for legal costs to be paid, an order that punishes the party by way of a fine and in extreme circumstances, by way of imprisonment.

As Barbara wrote before, we would like you to participate in the what if? creative project. As our call for entries is related to creative work we are doing on the theme of dreams, we have decided to begin this call for entries with a short, open-ended fairytale that you will help us complete.
Once upon a time, there lived a artistically inclined polyglot fairy (though she herself disliked that loaded and complex string of labels, because she felt that labels limit how one can express one’s identity). She went around the world looking for ways to facilitate artistic collaboration.
What if you were to meet this fairy on your way to the office or to your studio, and she told you she could grant you one wish and make one of your dreams come true? This dream could be anything: personal, professional, artistic, or a wish for society at large.
What if you were to see your wish become a part of our creative project, projected as part of our multimedia performance on September 26 at F.I.T. for Future – European Researchers’ Night 2014 at the FH St.Pölten?
We would like to gather entries in the following form:
- One short text, no longer than one sentence. This text can be in any format you desire: a coherent, grammatical sentence, a haiku-length poetic-type written statement, a string of words that can be understood, a graphic poem made with simple word processing means such as use of spaces, special characters, capitalisation, etc.
- This sentence should tell the audience what your dream (vision) is. It can be personal, professional, creative, or a view for society at large. Your “wish for the fairy,” if you will.
- Please, leave your submission in the form of a comment on this blog post. If you prefer, you can also submit your sentence to Barbara Lüneburg at [email protected]. If you would like to be properly credited, reveal us the name under which you would like to be credited and where in the world you are based.
- You may submit your sentence in any of the following languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, Dutch, Croatian, visual communication (text art).
- We will select and use as many of the submissions as possible. Please note that all submission selections are purely at our discretion, though we will try to be as inclusive as we can.We will never share your e-mail address with anyone, nor use it for any mailing lists. | <urn:uuid:8248698e-9125-4d4a-80c9-34f75717631f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://what-ifblog.net/2014/08/07/call-for-entries-fairy-of-the-four-temperaments/ | 2020-07-05T11:30:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.952144 | 539 | [

A full-day hike on the north outskirts of Dunedin to Pulpit Peak, the Painted Forest and Silver Peak. The return route goes via ABC Cave and the Philip J Cox Memorial Hut to form a loop.
I’ve got one full “hiking day” left in our two week New Zealand holiday; after researching options within striking distance of Dunedin, I settle on Silver Peaks Scenic Reserve. A 30min drive from Dunedin and about an hour from where we’re staying on the Otago Peninsula, it seems to offer some interesting scenery and demanding trails. (The name Silver Peaks is said to be named after the Silver Stream, which flows down from the higher ridges.
Mountain Road car park to Jubilee Hut (9.2km) – Silver Peak Track
The start of the Silver Peaks Track on Mountain Road is clearly marked, as it heads up towards Green Ridge.
Climbing gently at first through low but often dense scrub, there are occasional views over the Silver Peaks Scenic Reserve.
As the track gains altitude, the views to the south and west improve, with rolling hills as far as the eye can see. The native shrubs are dominated by manuka, or New Zealand teatree, a prolific shrub.
After 3.8km I reach the site of the former Green Hut, now a picnic and camping area (the hut, possibly the first tramping hut in the South Island, has long been removed). A sign here warns that the route from here is only for “experienced trampers” – while the quality of the track doesn’t change, the signs have been added in recent years as a result of the highly changeable weather on the exposed ridges (there have been some deaths and a few rescues of people who got lost in bad weather). The track gets a bit steeper here and after a few hundred metres reaches the junction of a minor track up to the summit of Green Hill, marked by a tiny label nailed to a tree.
From here the trail is soon above the tree-line, and continues through dense manuka scrub as it heads up to Green Ridge and Silver Peak.
Looking back is Green Hill. To the south and west there are great views towards the outskirts of Dunedin in the far distance.
The Silver Peak Track now starts to climb fairly steeply along the Green Ridge; looking back you can see the trail stretching back past Green Hill.
From the top of the ridge there are now also views to the east, with the coast and Blueskin Bay visible through the haze (smoke from the bushfires burning around in Sydney have reached New Zealand, reducing visibility). Other than the haze it’s a clear day which is good, as the ridge is quite exposed and the Māori name for this section is Paekohu, or “fog ridge”.
Further along the ridge there’s a junction with a track that heads down Long Ridge, and then Pulpit Rock (750m asl) comes into view. You can scramble to the top of Pulpit Rock, but the main track passes to the right (east) of the rock formation.
The narrow trail is now fairly flat as it follows the top of the undulating ridge – in the distance (on the furthest peak) I can just make out the beacon that marks the top of Silver Peak.
About half a kilometre past Pulpit Rock is another track that heads down a side-ridge to the west, and soon after this junction there’s a view from the main track down into the Painted Forest. The largest remnant patch of Silver Beech in the area, the forest looks like it has been painted. I’m not entirely convinced – if I hadn’t read about this or seen it marked on the map, I don’t think I would have taken a second glance. But, make up your own mind! (There is a marked track the goes down into the forest, where I’ve read there is a hut – Dark Horse Hut – which is not shown on any of my maps.)
There’s another interesting, solitary rock formation between the track and Silver Peak, so I make a short detour on a rough track that leads to the base of this column of rock.
The track stops near the base of the rock, so I scramble a short way up the fairly steep side of the mountain to the summit of Silver Peak (767m asl), marked by a beacon or trig point. Known in Māori as Huatea, Silver Peak boasts impressive 360-degree views, despite the smoky haze, with hills and low mountain ranges in most directions.
To the south, back along the Silver Peak Track, is the edge of Dunedin.
The highest point of the track (fractionally higher than Silver Peak, at 777m asl) is actually a little further along the track, and is unmarked. There are some nice views again from here.
Just after this “unnamed peak” the track descends, very steeply, down the Devils Staircase. I can see Jubilee Hut in the distance, on the left hand-hand side of the valley. There’s no stairs and few switch-backs for 340m descent to the valley – even when it’s dry. I take it very slow and slip a few times. If the track was muddy, it would be even more challenging. It has been described in the Otago Times as: “It’s slippery, it’s a goat track, it’s narrow, it’s rocky, it’s that horrible clay that when it gets wet you are going to end up on your arse. It’s a nasty little steep short piece of track that’s not well-formed.”
Near the bottom are some colourful flowering plants, which seem a bit out of place – I’m pretty sure they are foxglove (Digitalis purpure), a weed in New Zealand.
At the end of the descent is Cave Creek, and a small camping ground near the creek. The track now follows the often picturesque stream downstream, crossing it a couple of times. This section is very muddy in sections, and it’s hard to avoid getting wet and dirty shoes (proper hiking boots would come in useful here).
After about half a kilometre down the valley, there’s a sign pointing to Jubilee Hut, a short way up the side of the valley. The hut has ten beds; there were two families staying the previous nights, who I met returning the same way.
Jubilee Hut (9.2km) to Mountain Road – Silver Peak Route
I’m returning via the Silver Peak Route, which is classified as “a route for experienced trampers only” and is far less used the Silver Peak Track. It seems much more interesting to do a circuit (although it means the last part of the walk is along Mountain Road). The track continues along Cave Creek for a few hundred metres.
There’s a very nice, elevated camping site that would make a great spot for 1-2 tents, if you’re camping rather than staying at Jubilee Hat. The remains of the old Jubilee Hut, built by members of the Otago Tramping and Mountaineering Club in 1951, lies next to the track. All that remains is the fireplace.
From the old Jubilee Hut site, the track climb steeply up the ridge to the north. While the track itself is often hidden under thick ferns, it’s signposted by regular orange markers.
As the track gains height, you can see the (new) Jubilee Hut on the opposite of the valley, and there are views down a side valley.
At the top of the ridge, the track meets an old farm track by a gate and continues along the ridge-top.
On the other side of Christmas Creek is Christmas Creek Hut (also known as ‘Orange Hut’ and ‘The Homestead’); this six-bunk hut is just outside the Silver Peak Scenic Reserve on a pastoral lease and is a private farm hut.
The track now follows the top of the ridge in a north-easterly direction, through tussock grass. Navigation is easy, but it’s surprisingly hilly and quite tiring.
The next step, about 3km (one hour) from the junction with Jubilee Hut, is ABC Cave. The cave is named after three young Dunedin hikers, Al, Bruce and Colin, who often used the cave in the late 1960s. Inside the cave is a timber sleeping platform, and a small creek 50m away provides water. I have a break here and re-fill my water bottle – and enjoy my first short break as is starts to drizzle slightly.
From the cave, the track continues to follow the ridge, passing a junction after one kilometre with two tracks: one going north to Lamb Tree Road and the other north east to Mountain Road. The main track now swings to the east along Yellow Ridge.
There’s a few uphill sections as the track follows the undulating ridge-line, but it’s generally downhill from here.
As the track descends, it first enters some thick, scrubby forest and then a more rainforest-like environment, before reaching the Philip J Cox Memorial Hut. This small 4-bunk hut is located in a small forest clearing, and would be more appropriate for an emergency than as destination.
From the hut, the track descends steeply down to the river, through tall forest and dark green ferns.
As the track nears the river, it gets even steeper, and there are a few ropes to help navigate some of the almost vertical sections, that are also muddy and slippery.
At the bottom is the south branch of the Waikouaiti River, which could be challenging to cross after heavy rain. Today it’s not too deep or fast-moving, and I manage to rock-hop across without getting my feet wet (although they are already pretty wet and muddy from the last part of the track down to the river).
Unfortunately, most of the 250m descent from the Philip J Cox Memorial Hut now has to be re-gained to get back up to Mountain Road. I’m not looking forward to the climb, if it’s as steep, slippery and muddy as the track down. I’m somewhat relieved that the “Tunnels Track” up is an old logging road, through an old pine forest. It’s rather uninspiring scenery, with just a few green ferns to offset the monotony of the pine trees. But despite the ascent being just as steep as the track down, it’s quite easy walking and doesn’t take too long to reach Mountain Road.
Once back on the unsealed Mountain Road, it’s a rather boring 6km walk back to the starting point of the hike. The road is closed to traffic, so at least I don’t have to worry about cars. But it’s a logging road, so the views from the road of clearfelled trees is not exactly the most imspiring
Apart from the last “road bash”, I’ve really enjoyed this hike. It’s been challenging: almost as much elevation over 20km as the 38km Routeburn Track I did a few days earlier, and some muddy and slippery sections. But the scenery is quite varied, there are some great views and for the five hours from Jubilee Hut I havent seen any other walkers.

Imagine relaxing on a warm, starry African night, when suddenly you hear the roaring of a pride of lions as they set off on the hunt in the silky darkness. Southern Africa’s stunning, pristine wild places teem with awesome animal and plant life, offering you authentic safari experiences that you will never forget.
Established more than a century ago, The Kruger National Park is South Africa’s oldest, largest, ultimate wildlife reserve, and it evokes all the romanticism and awe of untamed Africa.

I love the animated sequences in Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Wether anthropomorphic or standard animal types, the designs as well as the animation are just beautiful.
Just look at this trio of underwater creatures. How would you fit clothes convincingly on to fish?!
Below a vis/dev sketch of the bed with five humans entering the Blue Lagoon.
You just can't go wrong with Milt Kahl designs animated by John Lounsbery. All of these farm animals are so beautifully brought to life. Combined with a Sherman song, it's animation heaven.
Milt Kahl dominated all final designs in those days, and that's a good thing. As Brad Bird said, without Milt's influence, the late Disney movies would look style-less. Without any particular graphic approach. | <urn:uuid:015b860e-d9fa-45d4-a533-8b907e080e66> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://andreasdeja.blogspot.com/2017_11_12_archive.html | 2020-07-09T12:32:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655899931.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709100539-20200709130539-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.954678 | 170 | [

Thankfully, you received approval for Social Security Disability benefits. You may find yourself without benefits in the future if you do not educate yourself on how your circumstances can change.
The Disability Benefits Center details how benefits recipients may stop receiving SSD. Understand how age and a change in disability status may affect you.
Common reasons to stop receiving benefits
The Social Security Administration has its own definition of disability. While you may meet that definition now, if your condition changes, you may no longer fit the SSA’s standards. Should your condition improve to where you can go back to work, you could stop receiving benefits, and the same applies to recipients who spend more than 30 days behind bars.
Regarding meeting the SSA’s definition of disabled, expect regular disability reviews every 18 months, three years or seven years. Review dates depend on your circumstances and medical condition.
Remaining disabled until the age of retirement
Your disability may remain until you reach retirement age. While you stop receiving disability benefits when you cross that threshold, you shift to Social Security retirement benefits after. That said, between now and when you retire, you must do your part to prove you qualify for benefits. That means being fully prepared for each disability review and responding to requests for information promptly. Enlist the help of your physical therapist, doctor and pharmacist to help show you meet the SSA’s most-current definition of disability.
Do not stop putting in work after an SSD approval. You can lose your benefits as quickly as you received them. | <urn:uuid:64a5adfe-53f3-4618-a21b-466c2baa4e15> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.workcompmodesto.com/blog/2020/06/how-could-your-social-security-disability-benefits-change/ | 2020-07-09T10:23:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655899931.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709100539-20200709130539-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.948539 | 311 | [

Singapore Airlines passengers in Sydney will be among the first to experience the airline’s new Premium Economy Class service later this year...
For the second year in a row Singapore’s Changi has been voted the world’s best airport, according to a global poll of air travellers conducted by Skytrax.
Virgin Australia now offers business-class seating on flights across the Tasman Sea, enhancing the airline’s premium service to New Zealand and Pacific Island markets.
When travelling overseas for business it’s imperative to have access to a fast, reliable Internet service.
A new luxury travel survey has found that price is no longer the main concern for high net worth Australian travellers.
Do you watch the same entertainment on land as you do when travelling in a plane?
Qantas may soon refuse entry to its airport club lounges for passengers “who don’t look the part.”
Qantas has launched a trial entertainment service using virtual reality (VR) technology to give customers a 360-degree interactive experience while in flight and on the ground.
Business travellers take note: your carry-on luggage is about to get a whole lot smarter.
Qantas Airways is now helping to promote local fruit and vegetable growers on international flights. | <urn:uuid:9ac84712-40c7-4a0e-8c01-d0ad6b47fe30> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.dynamicexport.com.au/category/travel/4 | 2020-07-12T22:05:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657140337.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712211314-20200713001314-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.90757 | 264 | [

Kareena-Saif Ring In Sharmila Tagore's Birthday In Rathambore And The Pictures Are Perfect!
Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, who turned a year older on Sunday is celebrating her birthday with her kids in Ranthambore in Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan.
Soha Ali Khan, daughter of Sharmila Tagore took to her social media accounts to wish her and wrote, "I may not have seen Krishna the tigress this morning with Kunal... but I got to put my arm around this tigress here."
In the pictures, Soha is seen sharing smiles with her mother and husband Kunal Kemmu. Her birthday wishes for her mom did not stop here. Soha posted another image in which her little daughter Inaaya is seen curled up in her grandmother's arms. "Birthday pancakes," Soha captioned the image.
In the picture, the 90s actor is giving a pleasant smile with some birthday pancakes on the table and her adorable granddaughter in her lap.
Pictures from the safari and their family celebrations took over the internet on Monday and they are perfect! Kareena Kapoor Khan, Taimur and Saif Ali Khan indeed made the event a special one!
It seems Ranthambore is one of Sharmila's favourite place. Four years ago too, she had celebrated her 70th birthday in Ranthambore with her son Saif Ali Khan and daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor Khan. | <urn:uuid:8328b73e-2d3f-4d00-9112-c6cc1968652b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.indiatimes.com/entertainment/celebs/kareena-saif-ring-in-sharmila-tagores-birthday-in-rathambore-and-the-pictures-are-perfect-501979.html | 2020-07-12T22:44:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657140337.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712211314-20200713001314-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.971469 | 315 | [

Man, time is almost up. The Nintendo Wii U should get many game experiences. This is not just to have certain titles on the Wii U. It is more games I wish Wii U could get to take advantage of the Wii U Gamepad as a concept, in different ways. First party titles, like Mario Kart 8, use the game pad in a very specific way.
It is the only means of controlling a game. However, Wii U does not just have one way of playing games. Nintendo created the Wii U Pro Controller for a different way to play.
With the coming of Devil’s Third, for Wii U. wise words, at https://www.facebook.com/tomonobu.itagaki/posts/1594416470822465?comment_id=1594437650820347¬if_t=feed_comment_reply, indicate a pro controller, pro, method of playing this game from its creator, Mister Tomonobu Itagaki .
This brings up an interesting idea. While a warm pro controller is in your hand, what do you do with a helpless Wii U Gamepad? Have fun with it just before the release of the Nintendo NX.
Below are ten games I wish could come to Wii U, make use of the Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller, and Gamepad, in the latter half of its existence to rejuvenate the platform, and reconfirm the basic concept that Nintendo always innovates.
10) Gauntlet– I wish this would come to Wii U. The game, from Steam and Warner Brothers, seems meant for Wii U for not only a solid, single player campaign, but an innovative multiplayer, on and offline. As players only use the pro controller method, Gauntlet could use the Wii U Gamepad, to implement special devices like a looking glass to get to certain places in the game faster, and in multiplayer, players can use the game pad to distract, or help other players on screen with content on the game pad.
9) Grand Theft Auto V– While using the Wii U pro controller only, this Rockstar title would be interesting. The Wii U Gamepad, as players go wild in the game, and push up their warning level, can be a device for the artificial intelligence. The game can use the game pad to distract players from causing chaos, or players can, while online, can communicate, call to, and distract opposing players with content sent to other players’ game pads.
8) Sonic the Hedgehog- Sega’s game could use a boost on the Nintendo Wii U. The blue hedgehog, and a pro controller, in a single player campaign can use the Wii U Gamepad as a map for short cuts, and special options only on Nintendo’s version of the game, at points in the title. An online multiplayer for Sonic can use these same special options to create a speedy, competitive foot racing game that calls out players in the Miiverse, uses certain special options online, and creates distractions on the game pad for players focused on their television.
7) Nintendo land 2– This game is very good, but I always wished Nintendo would add a multiplayer online element to the game, a pro controller option, and ability for Nintendo to update the game with newer games online. Using only the pro controller, Nintendo could make the Wii U Gamepad the opposing player in games, and distraction for players from the television screen. In multiplayer online, players online can use the Wii U Gamepad to distract other players from their game, and force other players to complete fun tasks on the game pad while focusing on their game as well.
6) Evolve– This would be a nice title to bring to the Wii U. The online multiplayer itself would suit the Wii U and Nintendo’s special additions would make the game unique. Using only the pro controller, the game pad could be a scare tactic, and distraction for players in the game. In online multiplayer, players could use the game pad to send distracting material to players as they hunt, and make them fearful of losing their edge.
5) Fatal Frame V– While this game will arrive on the Nintendo Wii U and use the game pad in great ways, a pro controller only Fatal Frame would provide a unique game perspective. Any horror game, specifically this one could use the game pad to distract players in the greatest ways. The game could use the game pad to send messages and horrible elements to the game pad’s screen. An online element could use Miiverse feedback, and Wii U players online, to send messages while in game, and scares at inopportune times in the game to the game pad, from the MiiVerse.
4) NBA 2K– The game currently on Wii U is nice. A meter, on the game pad, tracks players’ health that comes on screen if you use the game pad. A pro controller only game could set a different stage. Players can play a game and receive small mini games to distract them from their game. In online play, gamers can use the game pad to talk trash while in the Miiverse.
3) Street Fighter 5– Nintendo and Capcom go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. A Street Fighter title, with pro controller only option, can use the game pad, to establish a coin-op display as other players online, or in game, watch you play, and wait for their chance to combat you. In online mode, players can send mini-game distractions, on the game pad, to distract opponents on the television.
2) Afterburner– This was a spot reserved for Starfox. However, that game will be its own beast. Nintendo could bring another arcade classic to Nintendo Wii U. A pro controller based game could open the door for single player campaign with a game pad that issues threats from the enemy artificial intelligence. Multiplayer online can have players online talk trash throughout the game pad and send mini-game distractions.
1) Wrestling– This spot could be for Mario, Zelda, or even Metroid. Instead, a WWE type game could use a pro controller style and use the game pad to send locker room distractions to players during matches and mini-games. Online play could allow players to send distractions to opposing game pads, call out players from online, and allow players, during tag team matches, to exchange advice, and even special health options.
Many of the options, offered above, are to send distracting material through the game pad to players during their game play. The Wii U game pad has other uses. That is the whole point of this piece. Play on the Wii U Gamepad is one option. Another way to work with these games is to use the pro controller and find other unique ways to use the Wii U Gamepad in the background. | <urn:uuid:ca353f3c-fac5-4311-bb06-1cc2069b420a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://wrtotalk.wordpress.com/tag/fun/ | 2020-07-15T01:40:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657154789.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715003838-20200715033838-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.936128 | 1,394 | [

Even though trends and tastes in gifts may change, the gesture of acquiring, preparing, and bestowing something of value to friends and family | <urn:uuid:927bfde4-4882-4dcb-98e1-9ba1a0d16bdc> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.giftsinternational.net/products/lanson-rose-label-wimbledon-carry-case/2036 | 2020-07-03T20:48:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882934.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703184459-20200703214459-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.909279 | 466 | [

Last week, we compiled the 10 best-rated beach resorts in Batangas. A couple of things surprised us: One, that there are a lot of awesome, well-equipped properties scattered around the province; and two — and this is more shocking for us — they are all very expensive. When we averaged the cost of the cheapest room at these 10 resorts, it is somewhere around P8000 per night. Certainly not something a regular traveler can afford.
Last updated: 2018.
So for this post, we’re featuring only the beach resorts that charge P3000 per room per night. Here are the top 6, according to ratings by Agoda customers as of April 2018. We included properties with at least 20 reviews.

Splits threaten No 10 Brexit hopes
Downing Street was hoping last night for a deal with Brussels in the next 48 hours amid signs that cabinet unhappiness with the eventual package is growing.
British and EU negotiators are closing in on a draft withdrawal agreement as early as tomorrow, possibly giving the green light to a leaders’ summit before the end of this month, but two crucial issues remain outstanding.
The first is access to fishing rights during the backstop, the insurance plan to avoid a hard border in Ireland under which Britain would remain aligned with the EU customs union. Senior Brussels diplomats have said that boats from the EU have to be free to fish in UK waters during that time, which would be unacceptable to some Tories.

We inform you exactly how
We tell you how exactly to avoid ejaculation that is early
Premature ejaculation is definitely the many kind that is typical of disorder that is intimate but its ubiquity certainly not diminishes the worries it might probably cause men on most several years – nor the stigma that prevents a lot of them from approaching a medical practioner for understanding.
Medical practioners estimate that 20-30% of men, more than one in five, are impacted by very very early ejaculation (PE), yet a uniformly accepted meaning that site here’s evasive that is medical.
Basically, PE is where someone ejaculates too quickly – generally speaking understood to be less than or within 1 minute of penetration – and folks tend to come under two main teams: some people that have lifelong PE who have skilled ejaculation this is certainly untimely since becoming intimately active, and individuals with acquired PE.
The next, whereby some guy instantly experiences the specific situation, is more typical and can even be as a result of different facets that are real.
Research indicates that men having a thyroid that is overactivehyperthyroidism) tend to be more likely to possess difficulties with PE and as a consequence as soon as the hyperthyroidism is addressed the chances of experiencing it are reduced.
PE could be pertaining to disease that is chronic the prostate, known as prostatitis, and effective treatments are that may significantly enhance the time it should take the individual to ejaculate. Another concept explores the prospective hyperlink between PE and penile sensitiveness due to circumcision.
“a proven way of thinking states that circumcision causes less gland sensitiveness and so it really is definitely better for PE, although the other argues that circumcision denudes your penis, exposing the glands and causing a heightened incidence concerning the condition, ” claims Tet Yap, consultant urologist throughout the Princess Grace Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare British.

Record Quarterly and Annual Revenue Drives Increased Profitability
(Minneapolis, MN, October 29, 2015)
- Digi International®
Inc. (NASDAQ: DGII) reported record revenue of $56.4 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015, compared with $51.6 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014, an increase of $4.8 million, or 9.4%. Net income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 was $3.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the prior year comparable quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for gain from insurance recovery) in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 was $5.6 million, or 9.8% of total revenue, compared to $2.5 million, or 4.9% of total revenue, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014. See Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA later in this earnings release.
"I am very pleased with the revenue and profitability results for our fourth quarter and full year 2015. Record setting revenue numbers in both the third and fourth fiscal quarters drove the company towards the highest annual revenue in Digi history. Even more importantly, increasing our profitability has been a key focus for the team, and we were successful in meeting that goal," said Ron Konezny, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we start fiscal 2016, we look forward to maintaining our momentum of revenue and EBITDA growth. We expect to do this with an unrelenting focus on our core strengths in delivering mission-critical M2M solutions," continued Mr. Konezny.
Below is a table setting forth certain GAAP and non-GAAP results:
Business Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
In an effort to provide further transparency of our financial information we have expanded our hardware product categories for revenue reporting. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we will transition away from reporting revenue in terms of growth and mature hardware products and will report four product categories: Cellular routers and gateways, RF, Embedded and Network. We believe this is a more meaningful presentation and reflects how we are monitoring our revenue.
Our cellular product category includes cellular routers and all gateways, and the RF product category includes XBee®
modules as well as other RF Solutions. The embedded product category includes Digi Connect®
embedded systems on module and single board computers. The network product category, which has the highest concentration of mature products, includes console and serial servers and USB connected products.
grew 9.4% to $56.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from $51.6 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014.
- Product revenue increased by $5.4 million, or 11.6% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year's comparable quarter, driven primarily by cellular router and gateway products and RF modules, which are part of our growth products.
- Service revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 13.6% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year's comparable quarter, primarily in wireless design services.
- Revenue growth in the quarter was partially offset by a weakening of the Euro and British Pound, as the foreign currency translation from local currencies to the U.S. dollar resulted in a decrease of $0.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
was $26.7 million, or 47.3% of revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to $23.6 million, or 45.8% of revenue in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $3.1 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the strong revenue performance of our hardware products. Hardware product gross margin was approximately 49% in the fourth fiscal quarters of both fiscal 2015 and 2014. Service gross margin improved from 11.4% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 to 26.1% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 due to improved utilization of consulting labor in connection with the restructuring that took place in the second fiscal quarter of 2015.
were $22.4 million, or 39.7% of revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015, compared to $23.2 million, or 45.0% of revenue, in the same quarter in the prior year. This decrease primarily resulted from cost control management throughout the organization.
for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 was $4.3 million, or 7.6% of revenue, as compared to an operating income of $0.4 million, or 0.8% of revenue, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014. Operating income increased by $3.9 million due to our strong gross profit performance and effective management of operating expenses.
Other (loss) income, net
decreased by $0.5 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to generating net foreign currency transaction losses in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to net foreign currency transaction gains in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014.
was $3.0 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014.
Business Results for the Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
grew 10.5% to a new annual record of $212.9 million in fiscal 2015 from $192.7 million in fiscal 2014.
- Product revenue increased by $22.7 million, or 13.1%, in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. This increase was driven primarily by cellular router and gateway products and RF modules, which are part of our growth products. Network revenue, which is primarily comprised of mature products, decreased by $3.5 million, or 6.3%, and was in line with expectations.
- Service revenue decreased by $2.5 million, or 12.6%, in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 primarily in wireless design services.
- Total revenue in fiscal 2015 was impacted negatively by $3.2 million when compared to the prior fiscal year due to foreign currency translation. Specifically, a weakening of the Euro and British Pound produced this result.
for fiscal 2015 was $6.4 million, or 3.0% of revenue, as compared to an operating income of $0.1 million, for fiscal 2014. Operating income increased by $6.3 million and resulted from an increase in gross profit of $7.6 million, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $1.3 million. Operating income for fiscal 2015 included restructuring expenses of $0.5 million for our India and Etherios CRM operations as discussed in our earnings release for the second fiscal quarter of 2015.
was $6.6 million in fiscal 2015, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 million of net income, or $0.07 per diluted share, in fiscal 2014. Adjusted net income was $5.5 million in fiscal 2015, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $0.2 million in fiscal 2014, or $0.01 per diluted share.
in fiscal 2015 was $12.9 million, or 6.1% of total revenue, compared to $7.8 million, or 4.0% of total revenue, in fiscal 2014.
Please refer to the tables later in this earnings release that provide reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP information.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Structure
We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet, highlighted by:
- Our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance, including long-term marketable securities, was $105.8 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $13.9 million over the comparable balance at September 30, 2014 and an increase of $5.0 million over the balance at June 30, 2015. Please refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for more information.
- We had no debt on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015.
- At September 30, 2015, our current ratio was 6.9 to 1 compared to 6.8 to 1 at September 30, 2014.
As previously announced, Digi acquired bluenica on October 5, 2015, a St. Catherines, Ontario-based company focused on temperature monitoring of perishable goods in the food industry.
Also as previously announced, Digi completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Etherios, Inc., to West Monroe Partners, LLC on October 23, 2015. Digi sold Etherios for $9 million. At the closing of the transaction, the Company received $4 million in cash (less estimated transaction costs of $1.1 million). An additional $3 million is due on the first anniversary of closing and an additional $2 million is due on the second anniversary of the closing. For more information, please refer to the press release dated October 26, 2015. In addition, unaudited pro forma financial statements are included in an 8-K that was filed today.
Both of the above transactions are considered subsequent events and have no impact on our reported fourth fiscal quarter and full year 2015 financial results.
New Product Introductions
- Honeywell Sensing & Productivity Solutions (S&PS), a global leader providing custom engineered sensors, switches and controls, and productivity solutions built around their high performance data collection solutions including rugged mobile computers, voice-enabled software, barcode scanners, workflow printing, and RFID, has established a strategic relationship with Digi to use our Wireless Vehicle Adapter (WVA) for secure and reliable wireless communications between their Dolphin CT50 and the vehicle bus of class 5-8 commercial trucks for their Transportation Solutions. The Dolphin CT50 is Honeywell’s most advanced enterprise-ready 4G/LTE handheld computer.
- AgriDry, a leader in the grain bin monitoring market whose products are used globally, selected our ConnectPort® X4 cellular gateways for remote monitoring and management of remotely distributed grain bins.
- FLIR Systems, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, markets and distributes technologies that enhance perception and awareness, including professional thermal cameras used to monitor and track the eco-friendliness of residential and commercial buildings. FLIR’s new T1K/T1020 camera is a high-end infrared camera that captures both still images and video footage using our ConnectCore® 6.
- The North Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) has selected Digi TransPort® WR44 R cellular routers for installation of WiFi on South Shore train cars for a pilot. We expect NICTD will equip the rest of the fleet of 87 commuter rail cars, as phase two of the project.
- OC Transpo provides comprehensive transit services to nearly one million people in Ottawa with a fleet of over 900 buses and three trains. OC Transpo has selected Digi’s TransPort® WR44 R cellular routers for its onboard video system. This will allow live video feed during emergencies and offload recorded video from daily routes.
- Cool Creek Energy and Rocky Mountain Energy offers fuel and lubricant products for a wide range of industries including agriculture, rail, forestry, residential, mining and construction. The organization, a regional distributor for all Mobil products, has selected Digi Connect Tank, a fully integrated cellular-enabled remote access tank level sensor, to reduce truck rolls, improve operational efficiencies, and ensure customers' diesel tanks are always full.
Accelerating the pace of new product innovation is a key component of Digi’s strategy for profitable growth. In the fiscal fourth quarter, we introduced several new products, including new variants of the ARM-based ConnectCore® 6 System on Module (SOM), which were driven by specific customers’ deployment requirements. In conjunction with one of our global distributors, DigiKey Electronics, we also introduced new XBee developer kits for the OEM and maker markets.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Fiscal 2016 Guidance
For the first fiscal quarter of 2016, we project revenue from continuing operations to be in the range of $49 million to $52 million, an increase of 4% to 10%. We project net income per diluted share from continuing operations to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.09 for the first fiscal quarter of 2016.
For the full fiscal year 2016, Digi projects revenue from continuing operations to be in a range of $209 million to $223 million, an increase of 3% to 10%. Digi projects net income per diluted share from continuing operations to be in a range of $0.28 to $0.44.
We anticipate net income from discontinued operations for the fiscal year of approximately $4 million, net of tax, or $0.16 per diluted share. This is entirely comprised of our projected gain from the sale of Etherios CRM of approximately $4 million net of tax, or $0.16 per diluted share. This gain will be included in discontinued operations in the first fiscal quarter. We do not expect any financial impact from discontinued operations in the subsequent three quarters.
Fourth Fiscal Quarter and Full Year 2015 Conference Call Details

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions. These statements often can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "looking forward," "may," "will," "expect," "plan," "project," "should," or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or similar terminology. Among other items, these statements relate to expectations of the business environment in which the company operates, projections of future performance, perceived marketplace opportunities and statements regarding our mission and vision. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Among others, these include risks related to the highly competitive market in which our company operates, rapid changes in technologies that may displace products sold by us, declining prices of networking products, our reliance on distributors and other third parties to sell our products, delays in product development efforts, uncertainty in user acceptance of our products, the ability to integrate our products and services with those of other parties in a commercially accepted manner, potential liabilities that can arise if any of our products have design or manufacturing defects, our ability to defend or settle satisfactorily any litigation, uncertainty in global economic conditions and economic conditions within particular regions of the world which could negatively affect product demand and the financial solvency of customers and suppliers, the impact of natural disasters and other events beyond our control that could negatively impact our supply chain and customers, potential unintended consequences associated with restructuring or other similar business initiatives that may impact our ability to retain important employees, the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies associated with acquisitions or divestitures, and changes in our level of revenue or profitability which can fluctuate for many reasons beyond our control. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings, could cause the company's future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Many of such factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a non-GAAP measures.
We understand that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such as net income, for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by the company. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Additionally, we understand that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.
We believe that providing historical and adjusted net income and net income per diluted share, respectively, exclusive of such items as reversals of tax reserves and discrete tax benefits, restructuring, and gain from insurance recovery permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measure to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. In addition, certain of our stockholders have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of matters such as the impact of decisions related to taxes and restructuring, which while important, are not central to the core operations of our business. Additionally, management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is useful because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performance from year to year and in assessing our performance against that of other companies. We believe this information helps compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. EBITDA is used as an internal metric for executive compensation, as well as incentive compensation for the rest of the employee base, and it is monitored quarterly for these purposes.

In 2020, Nebraskans have the chance to end the injustice of slavery in our state once and for all.
There will be a constitutional amendment on the ballot to remove the 144-year-old language that allows slavery and involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime. A similar amendment was passed in Colorado in 2018.
Vote YES: End Slavery in Nebraska is an all volunteer, grassroots effort to ensure our state is the next to say:

Last year, I had the privilege of attending the Spatial Knowledge and Information (SKI) conference in Banff with my research team (Figure 1). It was my first time presenting at an academic conference, and overall a splendid experience. We went cross-country skiing and sight-seeing in the mornings and listened to some interesting presentations founded in GIS in the evenings. My conference paper was a survey of web-based crowdsourcing tools and their usability for citizen science.
Figure 1: Dr. Victoria Fast (middle) and her GIS research team at the 2019 SKI Conference in Banff.
Citizen science promotes the inclusion of the public in scientific inquiries and can be far more complex than traditional scientific endeavors (Hecker et al., 2018; Bonter & Cooper, 2012). Many citizen science programs rely on individuals from around the world to produce location-based data, such as eBird and Bumble Bee Watch (Figure 2), allowing researchers to widen the scope of their projects. However, citizen science requires specific crowdsourcing software to facilitate this process. Additionally, it is unrealistic to assume that the developer of a citizen science project has the financial backing and technological expertise to build their own platform. Therefore, web-based participatory mapping application platforms are strong alternatives; many of them support the collection, management, analysis and visualization of crowdsourced data.
Figure 2: A bee sighting I submitted to Bumble Bee Watch in 2018. Bumble Bee Watch tracks and studies the distribution of bumble bee species around the world. The project relies on contributions from many different citizen scientists!
One of the platforms I investigated in my paper was Survey123, an Esri product that is fully integrated with ArcGIS Online. A researcher can develop customizable data collection surveys to be shared with the public. Once collected, the data is available for use in ArcGIS Online. I explored Survey123 (and the other platforms) by developing a mock citizen science project. Since citizen science has been utilized by birders for over a century (Silvertown, 2009), I felt that creating a fictional ornithology project would be a fitting way to streamline platform comparisons and ensure a consistent and impartial evaluation. I created a survey using Survey123’s builder, then manually submitted each entry from the ornithology dataset (bird sightings) using different platforms (android devices, apple devices, computers). However, I did not limit the comparisons to the mock ornithology project; all of the functionality from Survey123 and the other platforms was fully explored.
The results of my study concluded that Survey123 facilitates the citizen science data collection process by offering the most developed data analysis and visualization options, compared to its competitors. For commercial projects, there is a modest cost associated with the use of Survey123, as it requires an ArcGIS Online organization. However, it is available for academic use by students at schools with ArcGIS Online accounts (e.g., the University of Calgary). There are also low-cost and free options available for individuals to use Survey123, provided that the project is not a commercial endeavor. The ArcGIS for Personal Use program ($150 CAD/year) or an ArcGIS Developers account (Free) both enable the creation of Survey123 projects.
If anyone is looking to start a citizen science research project (or even a project relying on crowdsourced data), I strongly recommend Survey123. Recently, some colleagues of mine integrated Survey123 into their 2020 App Challenge submission, creating an online form that allows citizens to report traffic collisions. With the 21st century smartphone boom, the possibilities for citizen science have never been greater; and with platforms such as Survey123, it has never been easier to promote and operate these projects.

Amnesty International has accused the police special anti-robbery squad (SARS) of torturing and killing people on at least 82 occasions since January, 2017.
In a new report shared with TheCable on Thursday, the international rights watchdog alleged that SARS uses torture and ill-treatment “to execute, punish and extract information” from suspects, some of whom it said end up dead.
Over the years, SARS has been notorious for alleged violation of human rights in the course of its operations which often leave a trail of dead bodies.
Amid campaigns to scrap the police unit, the police have on at least two occasions said it has reformed the unit — but reports of human rights violations persist.
AI accused police authorities of failing to address the abuse, saying no SARS official has been prosecuted. TheCable contacted Frank Mba, police spokesman, to confirm or deny this, but he has not responded yet.
The watchdog said SARS’ “horrific violations were carried out under the supervision of high-ranking police officers”.
“The systemic use of torture and other ill treatment by SARS officers for police investigations and the continued existence of torture chambers within the Nigerian Police Force points to an absolute disregard for international human rights laws and standards,” the organisation said.
“In many cases, Amnesty International bore witness to the scars, bruises, and dried blood on victims’ bodies. Many of them were subjected to beatings with sticks and machetes and denied medical care.
“The victims of the police unit, set up to fight violent crimes, are predominantly male between the ages of 18 and 35, from low-income backgrounds and vulnerable groups.”
Osai Ojigho, AI country director, said: “The complete failure of Nigerian authorities to bring an end to the gross human rights violations perpetuated by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad or to bring any SARS officer to justice is shocking and unacceptable.”
AI recounted the case of one Miracle who, in March 2017, was reportedly arrested and detained by SARS officers in Neni, Anambra state, after being accused of stealing a laptop. | <urn:uuid:1ebf8d95-411a-4cd5-959c-92399ccd4406> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://infotrustng.com/we-uncovered-82-cases-of-torture-execution-by-sars-operatives-amnesty-reveals/ | 2020-07-11T10:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655929376.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711095334-20200711125334-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.961966 | 452 | [

Painting a Rendered Wall is Easy!
Painting a rendered wall is easy. Open a tin of paint and splash it on, and your tired looking house exterior has a new lease of life. If only this was so simple. Without the right preparation, even the right choice of colour and paint won’t save your exterior from a mediocre finish that will need repainting much sooner than you would like.
When painting your rendered wall, preparation is everything.
Before you pick up a paint brush it is recommended you inspect the rendered wall. Have cracks appeared over time? Are there areas which need to be repaired? Is there mould or moss which needs scraping away? If you are painting a newly rendered wall, there is also the importance of making sure the wall has had sufficient time to dry. Failure to let the water evaporate from a newly rendered wall can result in water being trapped behind the paint, leaving the potential for cracking, damp or bubbling of paint.
Once you have inspected your rendered wall, there are some basic steps to prepare the wall. In the case of an older wall it is common to have a dirty or dusty appearance which is important to have smoothed over prior to painting. Even newly rendered walls can look this way if there has been a slightly incorrect mix in the mortar. Whether new or old, all you need is a broom or stiff brush and scrub the wall. The aim is to remove any of the dust or sand which could come through once the wall is painted.
After cleaning off the surface we recommend painting the entire surface with a good primer. Even with the dust and sand removed it may be difficult for your paint to adhere to the rendered wall, so the application of a good primer and stabiliser is essential in preparing your wall for painting.
Now, you are ready to paint.
At Panache Painting and Decorating we are committed to ensuring you have the best results that will last on your next project. The hard and time consuming work of proper preparation is essential to your best painting result. Our team understand that your rendered wall needs more than a tin of paint splashed on it if you are to enjoy a high quality finish for years to come. Give us a call and we would be delighted to provide you with an obligation free quote on preparing and painting your house exterior.

Making this quite simple looking box is an excellent way to begin developing your practical skills.
You will learn how to use files to shape and form ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
You will mark out and drill diameter 3mm holes.
Apply oil to finish and protect softwood and plywood.
Use a Forster bit to create a deep blind hole.
Use a laser cutter to cut an acrylic disk.
Mark out and permanently fix the acrylic disk to accurate locate the lid.
Use a disk sander to work wood based materials, and a buffing wheel to polish metals.
You will permanently locate your metal feature using 25 mm Annular Ring nails or 18 mm tacks.
Not a quite so simple box after all!!
Study the engineering drawing for the box.
Produce a materials list of all the materials that you will need to make the box.
Produce sentences that describe the sequence you will follow to make the box. You may wish to produce a flow chart.
Collect all of the materials that you will need.
Your first practical task is to design and make your metal feature. You will have an opportunity to work with both ferrous and non-ferrous metal. You will be able to “feel” the difference between each type of metal as you work with them.
Mark out the position of the nails holes with a centre punch.
Drill holes in your metal feature for the nails to pass through into the Plywood lid.
Apply oil and permanently fix your polished metal feature to the lid.
Mark out and drill the deep blind hole into the wooden base using the Forstner bit. Make sure the machine vice is secured to the drilling table with at least two G Cramps; Forstner bits create a large turning force!!
Repeat the same operation to produce a shallow blind hole to a depth of only 1mm..Perfect way to accurately Locate the Acrylic disk to the underside of the lid.
Cut out your acrylic disk and secure it tightly to underside of lid using a glue gun; be careful, Glue Guns Get Can Cause Burns!!
Locate lid onto the Box base, and use the Disc Sander to blend the lid and box to create a seamless join.
Apply a few coats of oil, and enjoy your new decorative box!! | <urn:uuid:514843ba-08e5-49e0-b209-bf936cefed1c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://pcsaengineers.uk/make-a-decorative-box/ | 2020-07-13T04:12:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.878623 | 478 | [

The Breitling Navitimer Chronograph series welcomed a new large-diameter watch in 2016- Breitling Navitimer Chronograph 46 Black Steel Watch: all black body, double chronograph dial, black oscillating weight, and a new watch strap emulating the tread pattern of aircraft tires, making it stand out and attracting people’s attention, and it is still popular in nowadays.
Since its introduction in 1952, the Breitling Chronograph watch (Navitimer) has won the favor and enthusiasm of pilots and aviation flight enthusiasts. Today, this classic collection has introduced a new pure black watch: a satin-brushed black steel case with high-strength carbonization, and a black ring-shaped sliding ruler that handles all kinds of calculations required for air navigation.
However, this novel, original, cool and technological appearance is not the only highlight of the Navitimer Chronograph 46 Black Steel watch. Unlike the classic model with three silver chronograph dials, this watch has only two chronographs in the same color as the dial – the small dial at 9 o’clock and the 30 minute accumulate chronograph at 3 o’clock.. The dial as a whole is a precision and pure instrument panel. It is made of ultra-fine “par épargne” technology on the sterling silver chassis. The chronograph sub-dial hands and the central seconds hand are bright red, which perfectly strengthens this trait.
The high-performance “engine” of this watch is a Breitling-made 01 movement with the COSC. Through the transparent sapphire case back, the black oscillating weight is unobstructed.
The black case and dial are paired with a sturdy and comfortable new rubber strap – like the pattern of the aircraft tire tread, further highlighting the aviation character of this watch. From now on, all models of the Breitling chronograph will be available with this new strap, full of immortal legend and everlasting classic.
Movement: Breitling Homemade 01 Movement, COSC Certification, Automatic Winding, 28,800 High Swing Frequency Per Hour, 47 Jewel Bearings;
Power Reserve: More Than 70 Hours
Function: Hour-minute-second, Calendar, Chronograph (chronograph accuracy up to 1/4 second, 30 minute accumulation timer)
Case: Black Steel
Diameter: 46 MM
Waterproof Performance: 3 Atmospheres
Bezel: Rotating Bezel with Annular Flying Slide
Glass: Curved Sapphire Crystal with Double-sided Anti-glare Treatment
As we all know, in the watch industry, any manufacturer with a self-produced movement will be proud. So far, watch manufacturers that can independently develop and mass-produce high-performance movements are still rare.
Today, let’s talk about the Breitling B01 movement. According to the official publicity materials, it was known that Breitling began to design in 2004. In the spring of 2006, Breitling produced the first 100% self-made movements. Why is it 100%? Because in 1966, Breitling and three other companies (watching parts supplier Depraz & Cie, movement manufacturer Buren, watch manufacturer Heuer-Leonidas) began to develop the self-winding chronograph movement. In 1969, the world’s first self-winding Caliber 11 was produced.
At the end of 20006, Breitling submitted a test of the movement to the COSC for testing. The movement passed the accuracy and reliability test from the COSC.So, it went on sale in 2009.
Below I will disassemble a B01 movement and analyze it.
After opening, the first thing I saw was a large diameter movement, which reached 30mm and sames with the diameter of the classic ETA7750. It is obvious that this is the best diameter of the chronograph movement. The thickness is 7.2mm, which is a little thinner than the 7.9mm of the 7750. The automatic totem and the lower layer of the splint have clear lettering and good gold plating, reaching the level of the same class movement. Grinding is relatively simple and does not use a too fancy polishing process.
After removing the dial and hands, I have the feeling of disassembling the Rolex 3135, since the similarity is still relatively high. From polishing to calendar fixing, quick-tuning structure, and instantaneous jump structure, both them are strikingly similar. I don’t believe that the two companies have no cooperation. (B01 is on the left and 3135 is on the right)
Since B01 is also advertising with a calendar function without a forbidden zone, it can be said that it is completely a small revision of the classic structure of Rolex 3135. The instant jump is very fast. However, the splint of this part of Breitling B01 has not been polished. (B01 is on the left and 3135 is on the right)
Now turning the movement over, you can see a large bimetallic automatic turret, which has the advantage that the automatic winding efficiency can be guaranteed. In terms of design, I saw the shadow of Rolex. However, the automatic gyro bearing uses a ball bearing, which is less prone to the phenomenon that the 3135 grinds the plate for a period of time. (B01 is on the left and 3135 is on the right)
Removing the automatic gyro, I found an interesting place, that is, in general, the automatic gyro is fixed in the automatic splint (the red area below). However, the B01 is fixed on the entire timing unit (the yellow area in the below). This design has obvious modular features, which brings certain convenience for assembly and maintenance, and also facilitates the expansion of other functions in the future. This part must be disclosed, the process of engraving the serial number (blue area) is really bad, the lettering is not clear, the depth is different, the deep places are leaking copper, and many fake watches are better than this.
The following figure disassembles the automatic splint. It can be seen that this is a two-way automatic winding structure, which is characterized in that the jewel bearing material is used in the middle of the automatic reversing wheel, and the wear of such other parts of the metal in the similar maintenance work usually worn relatively large, the use of gemstone materials will undoubtedly greatly reduce wear and improve the efficiency of automatic winding, because the running resistance is reduced.
After removing the automatic splint, you can see that the escape wheel is equipped with a shockproof oil retaining system. Simply say, it is added a a Kif shock absorber (red circle below). This position belongs to the last link of the circular motion in the whole transmission process. The advantage of this is that it can maintain a storage of oil for a long time, reducing operational resistance, and the advantage of oil retention is greater than the advantage of shockproof.
At this time, you can also see the B01’s column wheel system. The column wheel is almost standard for advanced chronograph movements. It has high requirements for machining and grinding, and is an important part of the timing.
Remove the automatic splint and you can see that the B01 uses a more advanced vertical clutch system. This part has the shadow of the Rolex 4130. The advantage of the vertical clutch relative horizontal clutch is that it can start the timing function cleanly at any time without causing the pointer to jump. However, the horizontal clutch can reduce the jitter of the pointer by processing the gear with higher density. Another advantage of the horizontal clutch is that it is more ornamental when it is placed in the transparent case. A photo of the clutch part is below.
The design of the balance wheel is very mediocre. A large self-produced calibre that was launched in 2009 actually used a balance spring system with a card degree. I did not expect that cheap Tissot and Mido will use no card. The advantages of no card degree is not to be mentioned here, not a level of technology. The shock absorber is still kif, but this is not a big problem. After all, changing the cardlessness does not require changes to other parts of the movement.
As mentioned above, due to the modular structure, it was quickly dismantled. As a chronograph movement, this design is really convenient for maintenance. However, the grinding of the B01 movement main splint can be said to be basically 0, giving the impression of an industrial semi-finished product. It is better to polish it even just a little. Moreover, there is obviously excessive lubrication and diffusion on the main plate. It may be that the manufacturer is also worried about this movement, so some parts will be refueled. The clockwork part forgot to take a photo, and there is also an obvious Rolex design and polishing style, gold box, 70 hours of power.
In summary, B01 is generally not a big problem in design, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the details of the process, such as grinding, no card degree, silicon hairspring, etc., we can not deny that B01 is a good chronograph movement platform. Although the movement is 100% self-produced, it still leaves the Rolex trace. Now some models of the Tudor are also using the B01 movement (of course, there are minor changes in the details), and the B20 of the Breitling is also the self-produced movement of the Tudor. It should be that the two sides have deeper cooperation.
1. Focus on R&D and Manufacturing High Performance Watches
Founded in 1884, Breitling founder Leon Breitling established the Breitling Company. Initially, the company produced timers such as pocket watches. In 1914, it began producing watches with countdown and luminous for the military. In 1915, Gsinceton Breitling developed the first chronograph watch, which is the first aviation chronograph watch. Breitling kicked off the watchmaking in the aviation industry.
After that, Breitling separates the timing control system that handles start, stop, and zero from the crown. The first independent timing button was born, and the position of Breitling’s “Pioneer of Chronograph” was established.
In 1927, Breitling began to produce fine timers for the instrument panel of the aircraft cockpit. Since then, it has become more compatible with the aviation industry. Large aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing Douglas and Lockheed are all users of Breitling.
2. Independent Family Business Was Acquired
As a family business, Breitling has now gone through five generations of heads. Originally one of the few independent watchmakers in Switzerland, it ushered in the heyday of the brand in the 1990s and is now in a stagnant middle age.
In April 2017, it was acquired by CVC No. 6 Fund with an 80% stake in Breitling, with a total valuation of 800 million Euros. CVC Capital Partners (CVC) is Europe’s largest private equity and investment advisory firm headquartered in London. The head of the company said that with CVC’s expertise and international network, it is partner to bring Breitling to a higher level.
In August 2017, Georges Kern left the Richemont Group and became the CEO of Breitling brand, valuing the business development potential of Breitling.
He said that in the future, Breitling will have three product lines. One is a new watch re-developed based on the classic design elements of the brand history; one is a simple and elegant watch series; the last one is the brand’s current tough style professional watch series.
Whether Breitling can develop better, the future depends on whether it can pass the test of the market.
3. Interchange Movements with Tudor
Affected by the Swatch’s external supply of ETA movements, many brands have begun to develop independent configuration movements, Breitling and Tudor are no exception.
Breitling launched the B01 self-produced chronograph movement in 2009, with a power reserve of 70 hours, a diameter of 30mm, a thickness of 7.2mm, an eccentric screw trimming device, a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour, a three-armed ring and a balance spring, and a number of rubies 47.
Navitimer 8 with self-produced B01 movement
Tudor’s self-produced movement MT5621 launched in 2015 has 70-hour power storage, two-way automatic winding, COSC certification, quick-adjusting instantaneous jump calendar, stop seconds function, screw fine-tuning, silicon spring, vibration frequency 28800 times / hour, 31.8mm diameter , 6.5mm thickness and 26 diamonds.
Tudor Self-produced Movement MT5621
Because the development of the automatic chronograph movement is much more difficult than the ordinary central seconds movement, not to mention the self-produced movement is absolutely a good movement, so the two strong teams joined together and interchange movements.
After Breitling got the movement of Tudor, it was not a simple replica of the original movement. In addition to Tudor’s unique retouching, Breitling also improved the cumulative timer and improved the speed governing mechanism with silicon hairspring.
Introduced the B20 movement (a variant of the Tudor MT5612 movement) and equipped it with the New 42mm and 46mm Superocean Heritage II collection.

A large weakness of the Breitling B01 movement is adjusted by the traditional fast and slow needles. After the new calibre is obtained, the Tudor has replaced the silicon balance spring and the cardless screw fine adjustment.
The MT5813 calibre (a variant of the Breitling B01 chronograph movement) is certified by the COSC and provides up to 70 hours of power reserve through the bi-directional oscillating weight.

4. The Disappearing Wings
In 2018, Breitling has made great changes in the design of the watch. The most obvious one is to remove the original wing logo and replace it with B.
The winged B logo is not the prototype used by Breitling from the beginning. It was first introduced in the 1950’s timed prototype, and later evolved in the late 1970s for most styles.
Breiling Navitimer 1 Self-winding Watch
The Breitling with the B logo also began to change its image vigorously. In 2018, the series of simple styles of the Navitimer Chronograph 8 series was launched to make it more intimate, and the design that was simple and simplified was not consistent with the original toughness.
Breitling Superocean Heritage AB0162161C1A1
Whether it’s a new brand logo or the Breitling brand itself, everything has a feeling of re-starting. Many enthusiasts lamented that Breitling, who took off their wings, lost its unique characteristics. However, under the current trend of succinct aesthetics, Breitling may have made its own choices for the market, and everything has not yet been finalized.
5. How to Choose One Entry-level Breitling
The first feeling of Breitling is tough males, so the entry model should also have such characteristics. However, there is no recommendation for the popular Avenger series or Seawolf, because the entry-level watch has several standards, low price, resistance, brand characteristics, and brand genes.
Colt Automatic mechanical watch, the new version of the Superocean series retains the tough lines of Breitling, and caters to the contemporary mainstream size of 41mm, the movement is Cal.17 modified by ETA2824-2, which reaches 40-hour power reserve, the water resistance is up to 200 meters, plus the careful workmanship of Breitling, the steel bracelet model is attractive, full of sincerity.
Breitling is as popular as Rolex and Omega in the luxury world, and it has its own advantages in terms of workmanship and practicality. | <urn:uuid:37630931-4f5d-480e-8d85-8be03842fac2> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://console.fm/2019/02/ | 2020-07-15T05:20:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657155816.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715035109-20200715065109-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.933288 | 3,474 | [

We’ve once again split the daily playlist into two. Unlike previous versions, the songs are not divided geographically. They’re just in alphabetical order with the songs on The Matinee ’18 October 9th – Part 1 edition featuring artists beginning with the letters A through D. They’re based in Russia, England, USA, and Australia.
To hear Part 2 (letters G to M), click here.
angelic milk – “when the limousines pass by” (St. Petersburg, Russia)
RIYL: Frankie Cosmos, Beach Fossils, ShitKid
It’s been a little while since Sarah Persephona, the young woman behind angelic milk, shared anything new. This is quite understandable since she’s been busy studying and gathering some mates to turn her project into a full-fledge band. In the process, she’s revamped her sound, extending beyond her manic grunge-pop roots to surf-infused, dreamier grunge pop. “when the limousines pass by” offers a hint of angelic milk’s transformation.
The song is the definition of late summer bliss (granted it’s autumn). The jangly guitar riffs, the slightly trembling rhythms, and Persephona’s innocent vocals are intoxicating, and together they create a sound that, as she says, “will make you smile”. In addition, you just may find yourself slightly losing consciousness, as your mind levitates into the hazy and enrapturing soundscape. Here, you’ll imagine simpler days with a loved one, whether that is driving along a magnificent coastline or watching the stars in an abandoned field in the middle of nowhere.
angelic milk’s debut album, Divine Biker Love, is out January 11th, 2019 via PNKSLM Recordings. This will be an album to look for in the new year, and it could make Persephona an international star.
BERRIES – “Discreetly” (London, England)
RIYL: Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag, Bikini Kill
Almost three years ago, we were introduced to BERRIES, and their Sleater-Kinney-like approach made us immediate fans. In that time, they’ve become a staple of the London rock scene. It’s only a matter of time before the rest of the UK – and the world for that matter – acknowledge the talents of Holly Carter (vocals/guitar), Lauren Cooper (bass/vocals), and Lucie Hartmann (drums). Releasing a full-length album would increase their popularity (*hint hint*), but in the meantime we’ll take whatever we can get. When the trio do release new music, one thing is certain – the track will be thoroughly thought out, and “Discreetly” is no exception.
The BERRIES’ latest single is a methodical throbber. Its deliberately pacing allows each element to shine – from Carter’s sizzling guitar, Cooper’s pulsating bass line, and Hartmann’s crushing drumming. The three components merge perfectly together in the outro, where Hartmann’s artillery-like skills elevate Carter’s guitar solo. Carter’s lyrics are, as usual, on point, as she slowly weaves a tale of people losing themselves into the sea of doubt and ambition that consumes them.
Here’s hoping the ladies will release an album in 2019 because the world could use more bands like BERRIES.
Broken Baby – “It’s My Show!” (Los Angeles, USA)
RIYL: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O, Blondie
Who’s in the mood for some dance-infused post-punk? Who wants to hear a band that is channeling the great Yeah Yeah Yeahs and delivering an adrenaline-fueled banger? Then you’ve come to the right place, as Amber Bollinger and rock veteran/producer Alex Dezen of The Damnwells, through their little project Broken Baby, are channeling the NYC greats on their single, “It’s My Show”.
Like the Karen O-fronted outfit, the duo have delivered one fiery and exhilarating affair. Addictive, hip-shaking disco grooves seamlessly mesh with post-punk aesthetics, creating the feeling we’re back in the late ’70s and jammed into CBGB on a Friday night. Adding to the entertainment are Bollinger’s no-nonsense lyrics, as she proclaims to all the lurkers and playboys that she’s in charge and she’s not interested in hearing their sweet-nothings. They are some awesome lines, including:
“I see your mouth moving fast with words I just don’t know.
Mmm… what’s that smell? Your cologne, it’s giving me vertigo.
That magic trick on the top of your head,
Where does it sleep when you go to bed.”
If you’re interested in hearing more from Broken Baby, they released their self-titled, debut album a little more than two weeks ago. It’s available on Bandcamp and streaming on the usual platforms. The LP is a kaleidoscope, as the pair draw influences from Stevie Nicks, The Strokes, Bikini Kill, The Pretenders, and others. Check it out!
BRONCHO – “Keep It In Line” (Tulsa, OK, USA)
RIYL: CRUISR, Phoenix, Fickle Friends
If there is one band that we can count on to brighten our day, it is BRONCHO. They’re not the typical indie pop-rock band, where they just focus on creating anthemic or happy-go-lucky soundscapes. They also use their stories and lyrics to lift people’s spirits, but not in a cheesy or overly sappy way (you know what we mean by this). Instead, they are connoisseurs of turning their personal tales into experiences to which we can all relate, and they demonstrate this gift on “Keep It In Line”.
The beautifully nuanced arrangements create a light, spring-like melody. There’s no over-the-top climax nor outro, but just a soothing approach that intoxicates and energizes and is perfect to spin on a short joyride. Front man Ryan Lindsey’s delicate falsetto, meanwhile, is our guide, and he recounts the different points of his life where he felt uncertain and vulnerable, where the “versions in his head“ did not always mesh with other people’s account. As such, he has to constantly tell himself to “keep it in line”, which is a daily reminder to look forward instead of behind. It’s a reminder we all need, especially given the circumstances under which we live.
BRONCHO are Ryan Lindsey (vocals/guitar), Nathan Price (drums), Ben King (guitar), and Penny Pitchlynn (bass). Their new album, Bad Behavior, will be released this Friday, October 12th via Park The Van Records. Pre-orders available here.
Courtney Barnett – “Small Talk” (Melbourne, Australia)
RIYL: Courtney Barnett, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan
After releasing one of the best albums of the year with Tell Me How You Really Feel and touring the globe two (maybe now three) times over, Courtney Barnett isn’t ready to settle down. Then again, the only thing busier than the outstanding singer-songwriter’s schedule is her mind, which seems to be filled with ideas every second of the day. Fortunately for us, she often shares her thoughts through her music, such as on “Small Talk”.
Whereas Tell Me How You Really Feel was punchier in its lyricism, “Small Talk” is the Courtney Barnett of old, as she tells multiple tales and thoughts within a single song. Musically, the song echoes of a bygone era when Van Morrison and Bob Dylan were the most envied artists. A bluesy guitar riff meshes seamlessly into the song’s Americana vibes, which are accentuated by the terrific bass line and the tickling keys. All the while Barnett speaks about her brother, asks if we also have siblings, and how people slowly grow apart as they have less in common. It’s, unsurprisingly, a smart and charming track, which would be perfect to spin while sitting on the veranda or in the background and sipping a couple of cold ones with your friends. Hopefully, though, you won’t grow tired of the small talk like Barnett expresses.
Devon Church – “Chamomile” (Brooklyn, USA)
RIYL: EXITMUSIC, Tom Waits, Mark Lanegan
It was only a month ago when EXITMUSIC’s Devon Church had our jaws dropping when he released “We Are Inextricable”, which is the title track to his forthcoming, debut album. Well, he’s yet again amazed us with “Chamomile”, which is an absolutely breathtaking, synth-pop hymn.
There are very few tunes that have made us speechless, where we are unable to find the right words to describe a song’s brilliance. “Chamomile”, though, is one of them. It simply just needs to be heard. To truly experience it, however, you should close your eyes and allow Church’s deep baritone, the tender rhythms, and the swirling, wistful synths sweep you away. About a minute in, you’ll feel like you’ve found your utopia, and Church’s words are now the words by which you live:
“Life is for the living, and you’re meant to be free.”

Beyoncé has sent her fans into meltdown after Disney released the latest trailer of its Lion King reboot.
Queen Bey finally speaks as her lioness Nala in the latest teaser, which also features the voices of Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen as the comedians of the animal kingdom, Timon and Pumbaa.
“Simba, you have to take your place as king,” Nala says, after Pride Rock falls to the control of the wicked Scar.
“We need you. Come home.”
Twitter lit up with excited after the latest drop, but not everyone was impressed.
On the weekend, the Lemonade singer, 37, attended the Wearable Art Gala, channelling her character from the upcoming live-action Disney film with pride.
The theme for Tina Knowles-Lawson’s annual event was “A Journey to the Pride Lands”, and many guests — including Tiffany Haddish, Lena Waithe, Tyler Perry and Beyoncé protégés Chloe and Halle Bailey — chose to go all out in regal African garb.
The Halo hitmaker, meanwhile, honoured Nala by literally wearing her face on her chest as part of an intricate Georges Hobeika-designed gold catsuit with layers of sequins and feathers and a matching gilded cape. She finished the look with beaded gold heels by Afffair.
Lawson went full peacock in a sculptural gown dripping with feathers, while Beyoncé’s Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams showed up in equally dramatic attire.
The pop icon’s 7-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, clad in a traditional yellow gown and matching headdress, literally brought the night full circle by singing along to The Circle of Life.
The Lion King will hit Australian cinemas on July 17, 2019.

do you have an error light on your dashboard that looks like above with a yellow bulb pointing down?
that is known as a “dipped headlight” and this post is written to help you troubleshoot and fix it.
You're reading: How to Fix Dipped Headlight Error on an Audi
the truth is that even audi dealerships are notoriously bad at fixing this problem.
their remedy is typically to suggest replacing the bulbs and ballasts at full retail price, costing you several thousand dollars for a
work that is something you could fix yourself for a tenth of the price.
after reading all of my favorite audi forums, i found a host of information, some of it helpful, some of it conflicting, and some if it misguided. but piecing together the consistent recommendations as well as a little educated guessing and fact checking, i’ve figured out a good approach for anyone who gets this problem in their +61404532026 audi a4, s4 or rs4 and wants to try to fix it themselves. the steps listed here will probably also work for other audis as well, although may differ somewhat.
since originally posting this i’ve gotten hundreds of comments (literally) with others experiencing this issue on a variety of audis.
unfortunately, the dipped headlight warning appears to be a super common issue, and can also point to any number of issues with your headlights.
i’ve also updated this post with revised ideas to help you fix the problem easier, after years of helping others i’ve refined my approach.
first of all, what does “dipped headlight” even mean?
simply put, “dipped headlight” is audi-speak for “there is something wrong with your low beam headlight” and can mean a number of things.
this is part of why it is so difficult to troubleshoot and fix on your own, as the error doesn’t give you much information about what the problem is.
if you have a vag-com cable, or know someone who does, the cable can read your car’s computer and tell you the exact error code which will help tremendously. for some people this error message only comes on intermittently, such as when they’re driving slow, when the car first starts up, or in cold weather – for others, it comes on every time.
you can also pickup a cheaper obd2 scanner on amazon which can read codes and at least give you a specific error code and message to troubleshoot, like this one for $23.
Read more: WHICH CAR LIGHTS TO USE AND WHEN?
regardless this error light is a catch-all warning and therefore not very helpful – which is why this issue is so frustrating to have.
typically there are several major culprits:
- bad headlight bulbs – the bulb has gone bad, but isn’t completely out.
- bad xenon ballasts – the ballast has started to malfunction, causing the error and likely harming your bulbs too
- bad wiring in the headlight or xenon motor – the wiring and modules within the headlight is somehow damaged
- bad ride height sensor or calibration – if the car can’t sense the right height level of the car, this will trigger an error
what to check first
there are several things that most commonly cause this error after reading dozens of owners messages on audizine, fourtitude, audiforums and other message boards. i’ve listed them below in the order of how’d i’d recommend checking and testing the problem.
it seems the most common issue is that a ballast has gone bad…the bad ballast then causes damage to the headlight bulb, requiring you to change the bulb too. if you only change one or the other, you do run the risk that you’ll have to replace it again due to damage that occurred.
if you are getting this issue only on one side, i.e. dipped headlight left or dipped headlight right, then this is a big clue for troubleshooting.
to isolate if it is the headlight bulbs, ballasts, or something internal in the headlight itself, simply swap both the bulbs and ballasts from left to right headlight. if the dipped headlight error on your dash changes from “dipped headlight left” to “dipped headlight right” (or vice versa) then you know that the issue lies in either the bulb or ballasts.
if this is the case, you should order one new bulb and one new ballast (using the links in this post) and replace the bad side and you should be good.
i strongly recommend changing both bulbs and ballasts – even if only the ballasts were faulty, the bulbs likely suffered damage from the bad ballasts and will need replaced soon, and replacing bulbs requires the bumper to come off so its best to do this all at once. it also eliminates all possible sources of the dipped headlight error, as this can be a tricky problem to resolve and it’s better to be aggressive on the treatment of it.
if the problem isn’t isolated to one side or another, and the above trick didn’t work, then you’ll need to troubleshoot the problem one by one in the order listed below:
typically the best place to start is new headlight bulbs, as they are often the culprit and one of the cheapest and easiest things to fix – even if new headlight bulbs don’t fix the problem, you’ll eventually need to replace them anyway, so consider it preventative maintenance.
if you get the “headlight bulb out” message, see your headlights “flicker” on/off occasionally, or notice that your dipped headlight error only comes on in cold weather or at first start up, it’s likely your headlight bulbs may be on their way out.
follow this diy for tips on picking the right bulbs and how to install them: https://nickscarblog.com/diy/replacement-d1s-headlight-bulbs-for-b7-audi-a4s4rs4
the ballasts are also known to fail, which can cause this issue – even worse, the failed ballast burns through bulbs, so if you’ve had a bad ballast for a while then you’ll need new bulbs too. rumor has it some ballasts have been recalled by audi, in which case you can check with your dealer to see if your car qualifies for the recall, in which case the service and replacement should be free – problem solved! however, if you’re not covered by recall and your ballasts are indeed bad, then you have a few options:
- have your ballasts rebuilt – contact phil at tbm850 @ gmail.com – he can rebuild your factory ballasts to fix whatever is wrong, and actually strengthen them so it doesn’t happen again. he only charges $170 per pair for this and can turn it around in about a day then overnight ship it back, so you’re downtime is minimal. i’ve worked with phil before and he knows the b7 audi headlights better than pretty much anyone out there, and he’s an airplane mechanic so it’s a professional
- buy new oem ballasts – the ballasts are shared by a lot of manufacturers, so don’t order through audi. you can pick up the ballasts on amazon for about $110 a piece:
b6 ballasts (+61404532026)
b7 ballasts (+61404532026) without afs:
b7 ballasts (+61404532026) with afs: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-magneti-marelli-parts/xenon-bulb-ballast-priced-each/8p0907391~mm/
either way, i strongly recommend new bulbs if you had a bad ballast, as that bad ballast likely caused premature wear on the bulbs and they’re likely to burn out soon – best to replace both while you already have the headlights off the car!
this is also a great time to do the clear corner mod, led drls, and/or led city lights since you’ll have the headlights off the car anyway…

auto leveling sensor
if you recently lowered your car, or hit a really hard bump to your drivers side front or rear wheel, this could be the problem. for cars equipped with auto-levelling sensors, the sensors themselves are located in the wheel wheels near the lower control arms so they can adjust the headlight aiming based on the suspension load. for some people when they lower their car, the sensor is out of range as the suspension has been altered. for others, a hard bump to the front wheel could potentially break the sensor or cause it to become unplugged. to access the sensor, take off your drivers side front wheel and look near the bottom of the suspension. the sensor bridges the lower control arm to the body and looks like this:
if it is damaged or the wires have frayed, you can order a new one here: http://www.ecstuning.com/audi-b6_s4–v8/lighting/headlights/leveling/es440960/. if you are lowered, you may just need to bend the upper part of the bracket so the top of the sensor is higher again. once you have inspected and either repaired or replaced the sensor, you will need to recalibrate it using vag-com. follow this diy for instructions on how to do that: http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page=webcontent/pages/autolevel.html&category=6
headlight swivel module
this is the issue i had after replacing the bulbs and ruling out that issue. it turns out that while i was replacing my drl bulbs, i must have knocked the main headlight swivel out of place, preventing the headlights from being able to aim correctly. the swivel is very sensitive, so if you’ve been in accident, or were tinkering inside of your headlights too aggressively, it’s possible you broke a swivel arm or knocked it out of alignment. looking closely at the headlight i could see the projector lens on my driver side was pushed forward and not aligned the same way my passenger side was, so i reached inside the headlight housing (much the same way i did when replacing the bulbs) and pulled the projector lens “back” away from the front of the housing until it clicked back into place. i then recalibrated the headlight adjustment using the diy on a4mods and cleared the codes and the problem went away: http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page=webcontent/pages/autolevel.html&category=6
if you run the vag-com on your xenons and find error code 02769 or 02770, it is likely your projector lenses are out of alignment and you may be able to manually push or pull them back into place. it is also possible the motor inside the headlight has malfunctioned or stopped working altogether, in which case you’ll need to buy an entire new headlight housing – like mentioned earlier, ebay is your best bet for that, and expect to pay about $200-300. but hopefully you may just be like me and have to massage the projector lens back into place and reset the headlight adjustment via vag-com and the problem will go away 🙂
vag-com adjustments (reset to factory spec)
if you change anything other than the bulb, you may also need to recalibrate your headlights and reset the adjustments to factory. to do this, follow the a4mods.com diy mentioned earlier. for me, i fixed the projector lens being knocked out of place then recalibrated the headlight adjustments using vag-com to fix my errors.
the last resort is to pull fuse #10 if you have adaptive or auto-leveling headlights – this disables the feature entirely, which should also disable the warning light. this isn’t the best way to fix it as your headlights might be out of alignment still, and you lose the adaptive features, but hey – at least it gets rid of that pesky warning light and beeping 🙂
the last resort – replace the whole darn thing
at a certain point, you may be better off replacing the entire headlight assembly as you can usually find complete headlights (including ballasts and bulbs) used on ebay for a reasonable price.
this also covers you in case the problem lies elsewhere in the headlight housing, and since you’re going through the trouble of removing your headlights this is probably worth the extra $100 over the cost of a ballast to not have to remove all of these parts more than once.
if your car is older, chances are it’s pretty easy to find used headlight assemblies on ebay from wrecked cars that work just fine, and they’re usually pretty cheap, or you can pick up a new set on amazon here:
make sure you have the right part number prior to ordering – the part number can be found on a white sticker on top of your headlights which you can see simply by opening the hood – compare this to the ebay listing to confirm you’re swapping “apples to apples” with the replacement housing. the biggest thing to watch out for is afs vs non-afs, as you can’t mix these up. afs is audi’s “curve lighting” system which has its own wiring to power this motor, and switching between them is not easy to do.
to swap out the headlight housings, follow this diy: https://tonupboys.com/forum/showthread.php/234131-b7-a4-s4-clear-corner-mod-removal-of-bumper

Create a storage system connection and a credential using PowerShell cmdlets
Contributors Download PDF of this page
You must create a storage virtual machine (SVM) connection and a credential before using PowerShell cmdlets to perform data protection operations.
What you will need
You should have prepared the PowerShell environment to execute the PowerShell cmdlets.
You should have the required permissions in the Infrastructure Admin role to create storage connections.
You should ensure that the plug-in installations are not in progress.
Host plug-in installations must not be in progress while adding a storage system connection because the host cache might not be updated and databases status might be displayed in the SnapCenter GUI as “Not available for backup” or “Not on NetApp storage”.
Storage system names should be unique.
SnapCenter does not support multiple storage systems with the same name on different clusters. Each storage system that is supported by SnapCenter should have a unique name and a unique management LIF IP address.
Initiate a PowerShell connection session by using the Open-SmConnection cmdlet.
This example opens a PowerShell session:
PS C:\> Open-SmConnection
Create a new connection to the storage system by using the Add-SmStorageConnection cmdlet.
This example creates a new storage system connection:
PS C:\> Add-SmStorageConnection -Storage test_vs1 -Protocol Https -Timeout 60
Create a new credential by using the Add-SmCredential cmdlet.
This example creates a new credential named FinanceAdmin with Windows credentials:
PS C:> Add-SmCredential -Name FinanceAdmin -AuthMode Windows -Credential sddev\administrator
The information regarding the parameters that can be used with the cmdlet and their descriptions can be obtained by running Get-Help command_name. Alternatively, you can also refer to the SnapCenter Software Cmdlet Reference Guide. | <urn:uuid:0270a656-bdb2-4635-94fd-3e4110d3d7ad> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/snapcenter/protect-scsql/task_create_a_storage_system_connection_and_a_credential_using_powershell_cmdlets_for_sql.html | 2021-10-17T10:22:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585171.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017082600-20211017112600-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.788894 | 399 | [

The sense of solace was palpable at the end of the first day of our Britain’s Best Driver’s Car test. As darkness descended on the pit lane, the majority of the serious driving and judging was over, and we breathed a collective sigh of relief at our good fortune in the gathering crepuscular calm.
The conditions had been bad all day, and appalling in parts. Every driver had discovered, if they didn’t already know, how treacherous and unforgiving a circuit Castle Combe might be in the wet if you don’t respect its bumps, cambers and shaded slippery expanses. And yet somehow our day had been incident free, ending with exactly as many undamaged cars – and prides – as it had started with. And nobody could claim they hadn’t learned – and often learned very quickly – what separates the very best driver’s cars we’d gathered from the rest.
So what difference did the rain make? For a while, we wondered, as four judges dissected and decoded their impressions of the best and worst performances they’d witnessed. The slippery conditions were certainly a levelling influence, making a secure, predictable front-driver such as the Golf GTI Performance feel like a fine refuge from the eye-widening, poweron snap oversteer you might have encountered immediately beforehand in anything from the GT R to the M4 CS.
A dependable, judiciously tuned traction and stability control system certainly did more for a car this year than it might have ever before in a Britain’s Best Driver’s Car contest. But in the end, the same qualities that make a car impress at the limit of grip in the dry – communicative controls, good close body control, a dexterous well-tuned ride, a powerful and linear powertrain, and a finely balanced chassis that mixes stability with adjustability in just the right proportions – also distinguish one when the heavens are well and truly open. | <urn:uuid:7207f7a5-5c3f-489d-adf9-644187ec54ed> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/britains-best-drivers-car-2017-final-three | 2021-10-18T20:19:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585209.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018190451-20211018220451-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.962055 | 413 | [

When reading the letter from Adel Villalobos and Kyle Turk entitled “State May Restrict Supplements” (June 8), I thought a word of caution was in order.
Vitamin D is fat-soluble and as such is stored in the liver and fatty tissues and not readily flushed out like water-soluble vitamins C and the B’s. You take more of these than your body needs and the excess goes out in your urine. You take more fat-soluble vitamins than your body needs and the excess gets stored rather than flushed out and that can cause serious problems for some people, especially youngsters.
The proposed legislation referred to by the aforementioned authors is California Assembly Bill 1341 and I would suggest that all parents read this bill and also speak to their family doctor before allowing their minor children (those under the age of 18) to take ANY dietary supplements of ANY kind because listening to people who make their living selling those supplements is not a real good idea when the health of your children is at stake. | <urn:uuid:2d3ce020-dc41-4209-bfc6-7099df363bf4> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://signalscv.com/2021/07/rick-barker-a-word-of-caution-on-supplements/ | 2021-10-20T08:30:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.971563 | 209 | [

The Ultimate Guide to SaaS Development in 2021
Because of its convenience, software as a service (SaaS) has become a widely popular business model over the years. SaaS tools are cloud-based applications that users can access for a monthly or yearly fee. Because they are designed to help organizations save time and money, they have become the ideal solution for many companies, especially those operating with geographically distributed teams.
If you want to learn more about SaaS software and its development, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve written this article to provide you with an insight into the SaaS landscape and help you move from theory to practice.
Is SaaS Development a Good Idea in 2021?
SaaS saves companies from the hassle of developing their own applications from scratch and maintaining them. Businesses can focus on creating SaaS products for other companies. In other instances, an organization creates a system for its needs and then offers it to the public for an additional revenue source.
According to BetterCloud’s State of the SaaS-Powered Workplace report, it is estimated that by 2022, 80% of apps will be SaaS. Moreover, the report reveals that SaaS products will focus on specific needs and niche areas. The growth in SaaS application development will be driven by the following factors:
With SaaS, companies get the tools they need without developing their own software. Organizations only need to customize the products according to their business needs. As a rule of thumb, SaaS providers should deliver timely support, updates, and maintenance.
According to statistics from Finances Online, 44% of SaaS providers offer a free trial. Before making a commitment, users are able to test the features of a system. Consequently, they can make an informed decision when choosing a vendor. Meanwhile, since most SaaS products are available for a one-time license fee or monthly subscription charge, vendors can have a reliable revenue source.
Is SaaS Application Development a Challenging Venture?
SaaS platform development involves several technical aspects. Here are what you can expect:
Single-Tenancy or Multi-Tenancy
If you want to learn the basic concept of SaaS, you’ll need to understand notions such as single-tenancy and multi-tenancy. Tenants represent the organizations that the SaaS provider serves.
In a single-tenant architecture, the developer creates separate databases and instances for different tenants. This structure can also be transformed into a multi-tenant one, which is easier to develop and maintain and is more affordable. In a multi-tenant architecture, the cloud-based application has several instances that are shared among multiple tenants. One advantage of this SaaS structure is how it drastically cuts expenses related to updates and server fees. Moreover, the same coding serves multiple tenants.
SaaS clients expect providers to guarantee the security and confidentiality of their data. Developers can use cloud solutions like AWS to follow through on that promise. Each tenant’s confidential data is isolated. Moreover, every client has a unique identifier that allows them to access their data exclusively. Depending on scalability needs, the data can be stored on the same or separate servers. Even so, user information will not get mixed up.
Access to Features
If you’re planning to offer different pricing plans for your SaaS product, you’ll need to be able to manage different feature sets. This way, users can activate additional solutions, depending on the license or package option they choose. Moreover, if a feature is not available in a certain package, it should be deactivated.
Since cybercriminals work hard to up their game, clients expect SaaS providers to provide timely updates that will prevent data breaches. Meanwhile, the updates should not disrupt the ongoing operations of the user or mess with the collected data. One example here is Adobe Photoshop. Before, users had to install the product using a CD. If they wanted to upgrade to a newer version, they would have to buy a disk containing that version and re-install the program. This distribution model is not cost-effective for both the provider and the client. Now Adobe uses a subscription model, and the tech company is able to lower the price of the program. What’s more, clients can get the updates or upgrades they need online.
Application Programming Interface (API) Integration
When you’re running a cloud platform, you need to add value to your product by allowing integration with other enterprise software, like SharePoint, Salesforce, and Oracle. For security reasons, companies usually avoid transferring their existing database to their SaaS provider’s cloud. With API integration, you can extend the functionality of your product, providing it with a competitive edge. According to Cloud Elements’ State of API Integration report, 60% of vendors believe that API integration influences customer upgrades and renewals.
Multiple Payment Options
You also need to decide how you’ll accept payments. SaaS platforms and programs are usually offered on a subscription basis. Meanwhile, clients expect a free trial that will allow them to test the features and get acquainted with the system. You can also offer a freemium version that comes with all the basic solutions that the user needs. If they want to access advanced functionality, they can upgrade to a paid, premium plan.
What’s Involved in SaaS Software Development?
If you’re an app developer, the first thing you need to do is create a clear core value proposition for your SaaS product. The initial phase of cloud-based software development involves research on the market, your competitors, and customer demographics. During the process, you will discover key elements that validate or contradict your business hypothesis. Moreover, you will know if there is a real demand for the product you want to offer. Without validating this information, you will end up wasting money on developing useless software. So, never skip the research phase before building any SaaS application.
During the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) phase or research stage, you need to identify the problem that your SaaS tool will solve. Along the process, you will discover the key elements to focus on. Here are some questions to ask:
- What is the market size, and is there adequate demand for a new solution?
- What are the pain points that need solutions? Are there available solutions on the market right now?
- What are the weaknesses of the current solutions?
- What can you offer that your competitors cannot provide? Do you think you can do better than them? Are your solutions excellent enough to transform user behavior?
A perfect example here is how Traqq was developed. Even before the pandemic, the founders of the app discovered a huge gap in productivity tools on the market. They also learned about the biggest concern that remote employees had about online monitoring. Since existing time trackers took detailed screenshots of a user’s desktop, employees were worried about their managers spying on them. This was the major pain point that Traqq sought to resolve.
Traqq is one of the few time trackers that promote ethical monitoring. It ensures accountability and productivity by taking random screenshots and video recordings. However, Traqq intentionally blurs them to an extent where sensitive information becomes illegible. With Traqq, managers still have an idea of what their employees are doing, but they won’t be able to read private messages or see passwords.
Once you’ve gone through all the questions we shared above, you will be able to come up with a clear scope of your product’s features. Do not forget that identifying the functionalities of your product is essential in starting your SaaS platform development. As a product manager or business analyst, you will then proceed to perform feature prioritization. After that, you can get the development team to work on your MVP.
SaaS application or platform features typically include the following:
- Functional tools—Canva, a cloud platform, has a visual editor interface that has filters and other graphic design features.
- Analytical tools—Traqq, a time tracking app, has a smart dashboard that features visual reports and statistics about employee productivity.
- Account management—The system should be able to differentiate the sets of features that customers can access according to their plans.
Organizing Your SaaS Development Team
The complexity of your SaaS product will determine the number of members in your application development team. Keep in mind that building an efficient team will also be critical in ensuring the success of your software creation. During the MVP phase, you’ll need a team made up of a project manager, business analyst, UI/UX designer, backend developer, mobile or frontend developer, and QA tester.
The SaaS Program Development Workflow
Once your project has gone through the discovery phase, the software development life cycle will begin. The workflow will look like this:
Business Analysis – This phase involves building user journeys and collecting product requirements.
Design – During this stage, low-fidelity prototypes are generated by the design team. The designers will also deliver a user interface kit to provide an idea of how the product will look.
Development – Once your team gets to this phase, they will develop the product according to the MVP features you identified during the Business Analysis phase. The developers will also make provisions for applicable integrations at the end of the process. At this stage, the project manager should also take note of development costs.
Testing and Debugging – This is a process that goes beyond the deployment phase. The success of a SaaS application depends on its smooth operation and performance. So, your team must test the outcome of every iteration you make.
Product Maintenance – This is another ongoing phase for your SaaS product. Your team needs to ensure that the product is up to date with the latest trends, security requirements, and customer demands on the market.
Best Practices for SaaS Application Development
A recent study from Forrester Research reveals that a better UX design can increase a website’s conversion rate by 400%. Indeed, it is necessary to focus on delivering a high-quality user experience when you want to create a valuable SaaS product. So, you must consider all the primary challenges in developing a SaaS application. In this case, your team must focus on the following aspects:
A Scalable SaaS Architecture
Any SaaS platform needs to grow constantly. As the number of users increases, the application’s capacity should also evolve. This is the reason why it’s essential to build a scalable SaaS architecture. An excellently designed SaaS architecture contains at least three parts—a deployment model, database integration, and in-app resource management. By making the SaaS product scalable, you can offer flexible capacity on-demand. Moreover, as the number of users increases, they won’t be dissatisfied with bugs or lags.
A Queuing System
When you implement a queuing system in your SaaS development, users can interact with APIs and the platform simultaneously. Also known as an asynchronous communication protocol, message queuing allows every user to send the system a data request and receive a response accordingly. All the while, this system allows the user to communicate with integrations and other services.
Keep in mind that this practice is applicable in a specific case. Some large-sized businesses prefer creating their versions of SaaS software solutions. Meanwhile, other enterprises have in-house software that they plan to migrate to the cloud. The development costs for these two scenarios differ. However, what’s important is to guarantee smooth transmission without losing data. In this case, it would be useful to use an integrated approach in developing SaaS applications. This practice can enable efficient data exchange by ensuring the smooth integration of new software into existing business processes.
Choosing the Right Tech Stack for SaaS Development
Once you start looking for the best tech stack for SaaS development, you will discover that you’re spoilt for choice. You’ll need tools to build the ideal application for your market’s needs. You also need to ensure that the technology you select is proficient enough in helping you understand how to create the product. So, it’s essential to consider the mix of libraries, languages, and frameworks that the available tools offer.
Here are some of the tools you can choose to develop your SaaS application:
- Server: nGinx
- Framework: Laravel
- Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis
- Hosting: Vultr, AWS
- Library: React, Vue.js
- Language: CSS 3, HTML 5, JS
- Mobile Framework: Flutter, React Native, Swift, Objective-C, Java, Kotlin
If you’re planning to develop a SaaS application, your team must have a clear and validated set of production values. You wouldn’t want to end up wasting your time and money on a tool that will be deemed useless on the market. As an app developer, your goal is to provide efficient solutions to the pain points of your customers. | <urn:uuid:de409847-29bd-4319-98e0-a981dd4b52d4> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://traqq.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-saas-development-in-2021/ | 2021-10-20T07:10:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.9322 | 2,756 | [

Top tailor and menswear specialist Stephen Bishop puts male fashion as a top priority on the wedding to-do list and suggests ordering early to miss disappointment.

Are men important? Absolutely, yes.
Not that it seems to matter what we do or say to convince a bride, or indeed a groom, that the men within a wedding party are of equal importance – with priority and of course budgets being set accordingly.
The choosing of outfits for your groomsmen is more often than not the last thing on the wedding to do list.
In addition, we have seen a worrying trend. Weddings are now booking much later than advisable, often resulting in disappointment due to lack of availability or an “oh well, if that’s all that’s left that will do” type of mind set.
But it’s such a shame, especially when all the new products for the next wedding season are on display at Earls Court Wedding Show from September/October. Many Hugh Harris clients meet us there and it seems a shame not to benefit from full choice.
Only recently (May 2010) we had a visit from a couple who met us at Earls Court in 2009 and fell in love with our brand new suit range designed for us by William Hunt, Savile Row. It was obvious that these were going to be crazy busy in 2010 so we advised the couple to visit and reserve outfits early. Their wedding was in July that year on one of the busiest weekends of the summer and unfortunately for them, the suit style that they wanted was simply too heavily booked to be available for them.
So choose something else – we hear you cry. That isn’t so easy when the WHOLE wedding colour scheme has been based on the suit colour and accessory colour that we launched at last years wedding show. Did we find an alternative? No – as the weekend of their wedding is seeing very heavy bookings in all of the modern suiting.
Why don’t we carry enough stock – will be another question you will be asking. With regards the couple mentioned above, I had ordered triple my original estimates based on the response from the show and the early bookings that we saw. Had the couple in question visited only a few weeks earlier we could have included them in our final buying planning for this summer.
Top suit buying tips
- Specialist companies offer good advice: listen to what they say
- Take time to visit them in person
- Start to rule in or out certain suit styles
- Book as early as possible.
You’ll find lots of inspiration on our Groom pages! | <urn:uuid:b9a56ae0-b3e1-4bce-b7f2-f5d43a686ab7> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.confetti.co.uk/beauty-and-fashion/wedding-fashion/make-style-a-top-priority/ | 2021-10-20T07:12:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.971611 | 543 | [

Wood flooring are charming nonetheless anyone that has actually been with a hardwood flooring covering overhauling task determines just particularly simply exactly how challenging it may be-dusty, typically harming in addition to damaging. That’s why most citizens desert their houses throughout the therapy.
An industry-independent, not-for-profit company, the Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI) runs to boost public health and wellness along with the outstanding lifestyle with programs that boost interior air. The Greenguard Certification program for low-emitting indoor points produces appropriate air-quality needs together with testing therapies for interior points.
As an outcome of that house owner strategy to be guaranteed that their wellness is not jeopardized by the dirt in addition to unsafe fumes contacted typical lumber flooring covering refinishing, among one of the most about day dust-containment systems attach the penalizeding sand devices to a high-powered hoover, which draws out the dirt produced throughout the penalizeding sand therapy.
Dirt control is merely fifty percent of the formula when it comes to securing interior air high leading high quality. Making use of an eco audio flooring covering surface is the countless various other. Amongst among one of the most contemporary floor-finishing items are waterborne, which advises they have no harmful fumes, are nonflammable as well as virtually odorless, yet attribute remarkable toughness over their a whole lot a lot more hazardous matchings.
“Refinishing wood flooring with waterborne points as well as penalizeding sand with dust-containment devices develops a much healthier atmosphere for not just the lumber flooring covering carrier, yet the property owner too,” proclaimed Marilyn Black, Ph.D., of Air Quality Sciences, a third-party interior air quality-testing organisation that became part of the GEI group licensing the BonaKemi system. | <urn:uuid:9663b2b7-d692-4584-9640-8730b0230e89> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://moldinspectionpflugerville.com/2017/05/02/going-green-for-gorgeous-refinished-floors-36/ | 2021-10-21T17:30:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585439.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021164535-20211021194535-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.938687 | 381 | [

When treating children and adolescents, it’s not uncommon to see patients who have engaged in self-harm. Laura Judd-Glossy, PhD, discusses how primary care providers can recognize self-injury, work with families and help teens. Self-injury often takes the form of cutting, but also includes scratching, burning, self-hitting, putting items under the skin or interfering with the healing of wounds. This kind of non-suicidal self-injury is most common among adolescents and young adults, with approximately 10% of teens reporting that they have engaged in self-harm.
The age of onset is commonly 12 to 15 years of age, and more common in females than males. However, it does occur in childhood in an estimated 1.3% of 5- to 10-year-olds.
This kind of self-harm is unique from suicidal behavior, as the function of the behaviors is different. Youth may engage in self-harm for a variety of reasons: to regulate their emotions, punish themselves, relieve stress or seek acceptance from others. Youth typically engage in suicidal behavior to end one’s life.
While self-injury is traditionally associated with borderline personality disorder, eating disorders or childhood trauma, it can also be associated with depression, anxiety, PTSD, conduct or oppositional defiant disorders or substance abuse disorders.
It can be helpful to think of it as a maladaptive coping strategy to a problem, rather than solely a problem itself. In other words, it’s not simply about how to help a teen stop engaging in self-harm, but rather considering and developing better coping strategies for the larger problems the patient is trying to use self-harm to solve.
Warning signs for teen self-injury
Parents and pediatricians alike should look for warning signs of self-injurious behavior. These could include:
- Visible marks such as scratches, cuts or burns that are not clearly explained by typical activities
- Covering up with weather-inappropriate clothing such as long sleeves in the summer or refusing to participate in activities that involve fewer clothes, such as swimming
- Sharp objects found in a child’s room
- Worsening symptoms of depression or anxiety
- Knowledge of a friend who is self-harming
Assessment for self-harm in teenagers
It’s helpful to build rapport with the patient by discussing their interests and activities, ideally without their parent or guardian in the room in order to facilitate an open and honest conversation. When you have built some trust and it’s time to ask about self-injury, look for information on:
- Function of the behavior: “What does your self-injury do for you? How does it make you feel?”
- Method of self-injury: “What did you do to hurt yourself?”
- Potential for medical complications: “Have you ever needed to be seen by a doctor for your self-injury, such as for stitches or other medical treatment?”
- General mood and current stressors: “How have you been feeling recently? What has been stressful for you?”
- Other risky behavior: “What other risky behavior have you engaged in?”
- Abuse or trauma: “Have any scary things ever happened to you? Has anyone ever hurt you physically or sexually?”
- Risk of suicide: “Have things ever gotten so bad that you’ve had thoughts about wanting to kill yourself?”
- Areas of strength and resilience: “What keeps you going? Who can you count on?”
Managing self-harm in teenagers
After gathering this information, consider the patient’s level of risk. If a patient is suicidal at the time of the assessment, then they need an immediate psychiatric evaluation. Even if the patient denies current suicidality, if they’ve been engaging in self-harm, they need the right support.
Parents and guardians are often unaware of the behavior. Offer information about self-injury and be sure to give the teen options on how this information will be communicated. The teen might initiate the conversation on their own or have the pediatrician take the lead.
Ideal resources for parents and families should discuss evidence-based treatment, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy or family therapy, as well as discussion about means restriction. You’ll find some excellent options below.

OakBend Medical Group Announces Newest Nurse Practitioner, Anne Mazel
The OakBend Medical Group has announced its newest nurse practitioner to join the Group. Anne Mazel, a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner, works Monday through Friday, 8AM – 5PM. Her office is located in the OakBend Medical Center – Wharton Campus at 10141 US Highway 59, Suite 1E in Wharton.
Mazel attended UTMB for her undergraduate degree and went on to receive her masters at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston in 1999.
Working in Wharton is not new to Anne, she was a charge nurse in ICU at Gulf Coast Medical Center and was then hired by South Texas Medical Center to function as a hospitalist after graduation. Mazel worked as a hospitalist and specialized in cardiology for 10 years prior to starting in an outpatient setting. Anne always loved critical care and cardiology so it is only fitting that her role is now being a Cardiologist Nurse Practitioner.
When it comes to her philosophy about health care, Anne believes in looking beyond the complaint to treat the whole body. “There are times when a medical issue is caused by several factors and I try to treat everything as a whole. There are definitely times I must refer the patient to a specialist, but I know that I have done all I can to get them ready for the next step.”
Anne and her husband, Dennis, have two girls and two grandchildren each. They enjoy outdoor living and have an outdoor kitchen and a pool which is where they spend most of their time. The couple has been married for 21 years. | <urn:uuid:7b005177-f9ab-4ba9-93ba-06900db5f948> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.oakbendmedcenter.org/2021/07/14/oakbend-medical-group-announces-newest-nurse-practitioner-anne-mazel/ | 2021-10-21T17:01:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585439.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021164535-20211021194535-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.980021 | 338 | [

Integration in the Rainbow Nation
Integration is a hot political topic in the UK. The Nanny State wants to be integrated. In many of its cities, citizens of divergent heritage still live in separate neighbourhoods, with little sharing and blending of cultures on micro and macro levels. Nanny is failing at getting the children to mingle in the playground. Why so?
You go to the UK to earn pounds, to get welfare or to send your kids to good schools. You go because it is a multicultural society. A multicultural society is one where there exists a multitude of cultures, side by side, but – very often – indifferent to each other. An airport terminal of cultures. You can take your own norms and live them without any expectation that you subscribe to the local ones. There is nothing wrong with this… except when one wants integration to happen, like the British politicians.
South Africa is a rainbow nation. In a rainbow nation – like in a rainbow – there are many distinct cultures that have blended seamlessly into a whole that is more beautiful than the sum of its parts. In a rainbow nation the colours interweave and flow around each other, too. You don’t go to South Africa for the earning potential, the non-existent welfare or the schools. You go because you want to buy into South Africa. Its land, its people, its vibes. The wildness, the excitement. If you are here it’s because you want to integrate, not transpose your culture from home into a new situ (diplomatic staff exempting, perhaps).
There exist three official languages in South Africa – English, Afrikaans and Xhosa. Municipal signs are translated into each. People often switch between two of those languages in conversation. Most radio stations will broadcast in at least two of the languages. National radio stations will wish their Muslim listeners Eid Mubarak and Hannukah is acknowledged along with the Christian holidays. When has Radio 1 done this? Even though the UK has a much larger Muslim community in terms of percentiles than South Africa (4.8% in the UK, 1.5% in SA).
Lotus FM – SA’s main Indian radio station – is broadcast predominantly in English, with some Hindi, showing how a people blended the culture of their heritage with that of their home. It remains strongly Indian but reflects openness to their surroundings. It has a diverse listenership – myself included – judging by those that call in: cultures are shared and exchanged. And that openness found in South Africa and its people is one of the reasons why I emigrated there.
Cultural cross-pollination is mirrored in the cuisine of the nation, sometimes called “rainbow” cuisine. The exotic fruity flavours of Cape Malay dishes like bobotie and their curries blend with Portugese Mozambique, Dutch, French and local African influences and are as South African as potjie (hearty stews), rusks, milk tart, mielie-pap, boerewors and biltong.
In South Africa we call each other Black, White and Coloured without any taboo. We call each other brother and sister – whether we are related or not, and regardless of whether you are a South African born White or a Congolese born Black. Africa is a nation and a mother. We call Cape Town the Mother City.
Compare the histories of Britain and South Africa. Over millennia it has had a steady trickle of invaders and colonisers. Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Celts. Its identity as it stands, albeit very confusedly, has been formed gradually over a very long time. Compare this to South Africa. It was made up of a plethora of indigenous tribes until the 1600s when its external invaders – the British, the Dutch and to a lesser extent the French and other Europeans– came pretty much all at once, with the Dutch getting there a bit before the rest. These different cultures were jostling for space in the new land, along with the local tribes. And then a bit later came the influx of slaves from Malaysia and India. Wars started – against the indigenous people and against each other. They lasted a long time, all the way to 1994. Even more amazing that a rainbow nation emerged after those storms. Maybe literally having more physical space invites the space for several cultures to flourish. Maybe the fact the tensions continued – in various combinations – for so long is testimony to the conviction each culture had in itself. Maybe that’s what it takes for cultures to be comfortable among each other… in the end.
It seems especially pertinent now, with the ensuing conflict in Gaza, to highlight how South Africa is thriving as a country with so many disparate backgrounds living under one flag. Tell me how a country that was ravaged by an insidious regime can still give birth to the positive attitudes and behaviours I touch upon above? After all, the apartheid years are very much a living memory for everyone over the age of 25.
Not to say inter cultural tensions don’t still exist – hell, even in loving families differences of opinion and perspective causes conflict – but I have only experienced loving kindness from South Africans, regardless of skin colour or financial position. I know hate and indifference – a universal phenomenon – exists here, but I have yet to witness it.
Or perhaps the rainbow nation is a testament to the innate compassion within people: the rainbow nation is there not because a government willed it, but because its people willed it. Nelson Mandela is its shining example.
Integration goes beyond people with different coloured skin living next door to each other. Integration is goodwill amongst people of different background, religion and culture. Integration is inhabitants taking a communal interest in those they share their nation with and a welcoming of those who are different. It means several cultures – each as strong as each other – standing side by side and thriving, none of them more or less South African than the others. The exact location of where each calls home is neither here nor there. The world can learn a lot from South Africa. | <urn:uuid:0c745e5d-b3f6-43e8-9a33-e852ed8b5201> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://deadcurious.com/2014/08/05/integration-rainbow-nation/ | 2021-10-23T04:21:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585561.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023033857-20211023063857-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.960262 | 1,247 | [

The Section of Protection is aimed at developing the clever foundation of the long run. Bases are fundamentally miniature towns, with all the identical infrastructure needs like transportation, on-base staff products and services and energy management, coupled with specific armed forces requires. The notion is to use a 5G infrastructure to link all of these factors, as very well as cybersecurity and bodily protection, to come to be absolutely built-in and agile.
4G LTE networks will nevertheless give the spine for digital communications and connectivity on these bases it’s 5G that will support supply the large-speed, low-latency connectivity expected for emerging use scenarios and systems on the clever edge. For case in point, at Maritime Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California, DoD has teamed up with Verizon to introduce the 1st 5G Extremely Wideband cases deployed on a military set up. With 5G Ultra Wideband, the groups are enabling numerous use situations like electricity administration, drone administration and autonomous cars.
“With our 5G Nationwide, and our 5G Extremely Wideband, we’re now functioning on low and substantial band spectrum for 5G. It provides the ability for a army set up and armed forces personnel to use different networks, depending on the use case,” reported Bryan Schromsky, running spouse for 5G public sector at Verizon. “We’re seeing new DoD use conditions all over clever energy and base perimeter safety that will use 4G or 5G. And with 5G Ultra Wideband making use of millimeter wave, the DoD is starting to check new modern technologies like AR/ VR, device finding out, unmanned aerial vehicles and superior-pace video clip. That is wherever you are going to see 5G Ultra Wideband truly taking hold.”
It’s those sensor technologies that DoD is specifically leveraging to type the foundation for its wise bases.
“Devices are continuing to become smarter, which implies that they are going to make much larger quantities of facts, they are heading to be able of delivering far more expert services. When you pair that with multi-accessibility edge computing, now you have the ability to course of action info closer to the close user, or the application through the cloud. And this genuinely gets rid of a large amount of historic latency that prevented programs from currently being capable to make near real time choices,” said Cornelius Brown, director for DoD at Verizon. “Paired with 5G, artificial intelligence and equipment finding out will at some point assist customers course of action terabytes of facts, make info pushed conclusions, though furnishing actionable insights that they can choose motion on like predictive routine maintenance, enhanced basic safety and even risk detection.”
But turning a conventional military services base into a good base is not with no its troubles. The initially is security, which has to be factored into the architecture and design and style. It just cannot be an afterthought for the army. The second is budget, because this amount of technological innovation and infrastructure necessitates a significant preliminary expense. The 3rd is deployment and implementation, which has to be very carefully planned, together with making sure operators can go on to scale into a phased strategy.
But 5G can increase abilities to offer with these difficulties as very well. Whilst it may well boost the danger area of a network by extending the perimeter and introducing numerous new endpoints like IoT sensors, it also can offer faster reaction moments and greater network visibility to reply to threats.
“There’s more encryption in 5G with mutual authentication and there’s some new issues coming out in terms of 5G in relation to the standalone main that opens up the prospective for community slicing, which we’re extremely psyched for,” Schromsky explained. “But you can choose it one action even further when it will come to safety by incorporating a zero-belief architecture and a software program described perimeter where by you have safety platforms that overlay that radio obtain community (RAN) security you have a extra extensive model that it is really fascinating for DoD.”
But the positive aspects of 5G on armed service bases are not confined strictly to the personnel. It’s easy to forget that people also are living and get the job done on these bases, and they’ll benefit as nicely. For instance, 5G could aid permit improved distance studying, which can support give stability and prospect for people and staff that are not usually equipped to preserve a a lot more standard in-man or woman educational regimen. They’ll also have the probable for far better video capabilities and connectivity, which will allow for them to be far more related if they’re divided from household customers on deployment.
That connectivity ought to also allow matters like augmented and digital fact for education and distant purposes. That has multiple added benefits, like superior planning warfighters for battle cases by means of much more immersive training, or aiding routine maintenance personnel to operate on products with in the vicinity of true time aid or from a length, sometimes using exclusive parts 3D printed onsite. 5G could give new health care system infrastructures enabling next era telehealth purposes and health care techniques.
“When we rolled out 4G LTE, Uber and Lyft or Airbnb weren’t assumed of. And all of that working experience now is accomplished by means of a mobile unit,” stated Brown. “So now that we have that 5G technological know-how, this is a 10-yr project. We have obtained a ton of runway.” | <urn:uuid:80b03ec1-0683-4398-8550-0ce8652eb781> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://cienverley.info/producing-the-smart-base-of-the-potential-with-5g.html | 2021-10-23T05:46:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585561.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023033857-20211023063857-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.947242 | 1,163 | [

Adelaide Strikers thrashed Hobart Hurricanes by 5 wickets in their reverse fixture in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 Aurora Stadium in Launceston on Tuesday.
Hurricanes were blown away by the top-quality bowling of Peter Siddle. The right-armer bagged a five-wicket haul for just 16 runs. Siddle also recorded the fifth-best figures ever in the history of BBL.
Best bowling figures in BBL:
- Lasith Malinga – 6/7, STA v SCO, WACA (BBL02)
- Ish Sodhi – 6/11, STR v THU, Showground (BBL06)
- Dan Christian – 5/14, HUR v STR, Hobart (BBL06)
- Sean Abbott – 5/16, SIX v STR, Adelaide (BBL06)
- Peter Siddle – 5/16, STR v HUR, Launceston (BBL10)*
For Hurricanes, wicketkeeper-batsman Ben McDermott and left-handed batter Colin Ingram played valuable knocks of 46 each to help their side reach a competitive total. Tim David played a handy inning of 24 down the order as Hurricanes were bundled out for 146 in 19.3 overs.
Weatherald, Carey drive Strikers over the finish line
Chasing the target of 147, Strikers did not have a good start as they lost opening batsman Philip Salt for 6 runs in the very first over. As if the trouble wasn’t enough, No 3 batsman Matt Renshaw (2) was also dismissed in the same over. Hurricanes’ pacer James Faulkner provided the early breakthroughs.
Then, the pair of Jake Weatherald and Alex Carey steadied the innings. Both the batsmen added a crucial 107-run stand for the fourth wicket.
While Carey scored 55 off 40 deliveries laced up with 4 fours and a six, Weatherald remained unbeaten on 68 from 48 balls with the help of eight boundaries, including four huge sixes.
In the end, Strikers chased down the target in 18.4 overs with five wickets in hand.

BORIS Johnson led a major Covid press conference today despite his mother's tragic sudden death.
But what did the Prime Minister say? Here's all you need to know...
What did Boris Johnson say?
The PM addressed the nation just one day after the loss of his mother, Charlotte Johnson Wahl, who died last night at the age of 79.
During the press conference, he unveiled a toolbox of measures for winter to help avoid a seasonal spike.
Five key measures have been laid out to keep the virus at bay throughout the colder months.
Mr Johnson revealed that mandatory face masks and work from home orders could return to prevent another lockdown.
He said: "We will also keep open the option of mandating face coverings as they have elsewhere or advising people again to work from home.
"When you've got a large proportion of the country, as we have now, with immunity, then smaller changes can make a bigger difference and give us confidence that we don't have to go back to lockdowns of the past."
Top medics Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance were also present at the press conference.
Whitty said intensive care beds were filling up across the country with unvaccinated Brits.
He warned: "Winter is coming and people should take this seriously."
When quizzed about travel rules, Mr Johnson said: "I appreciate that people are very frustrated about the travel rules.
Most read in News
"It is vital that we do whatever we can to stop the virus being re-imported and particularly to control new variants. That's why we have the rules and have the red lists."
The PM previously refused to rule out a further lockdown altogether - warning: "We've got to do everything that's right to protect the country."
No10 has previously said reintroducing draconian lockdown restrictions will be a "last resort" only.
It's understood the PM is desperate to avoid cancelling Christmas after millions were told they couldn't meet their families for the festive period last year.
As it stands, the number of daily Covid cases have dropped by almost 30 per cent in a week. | <urn:uuid:0d0ff70b-c109-4328-a285-ea240cf58ee4> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.the-sun.com/news/3656325/boris-johnson-announcement-prime-ministers-speech/ | 2021-10-23T05:38:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585561.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023033857-20211023063857-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.974868 | 442 | [

Ten Years of Toybank!
By Anna Hussain.
Of course I had seen the vibrant smile from countless photos and heard the infectious giggle on various video clips, but nothing could quite prepare me for the inimitable positivity and passion for life when meeting this lady in person! I am of course talking about Shweta Chari, founder of Toybank and philanthropist personified!
Setting up Toybank in August 2004, Shweta started a journey that would see her dream to give every child within her reach the opportunity to play, fulfilled. Unable to continue witnessing the severe deprivation that robbed innocent children of one of their fundamental human rights – their childhoods – Shweta went about tirelessly gathering unwanted toys and games that could be distributed to kids across Mumbai and rural Maharashtra.
As the years went on and the bank of supportive volunteers and friends grew, so did Toybank’s outreach and unwavering reputation.
As they celebrate their TENTH year and approach a monumental figure of 30,000 children reached this year alone (!) - Child Action have never been prouder to call Toybank partners and friends.
Every single day Toybank work with children who will have never even seen a toy, let alone played with one. The toy distribution project gives children the joy of owning a toy, while the impact centres give them the chance to learn and have fun with their peers.
It therefore seems fitting on this momentous occasion to say a HUGE THANK YOU to those that have supported Toybank!
To all the children here in the UK who have held bake sales, carried out toy tombola’s and given up their time to help their peers in India, please know how very grateful Toybank are for your support and the massive differences you are making to their lives. And to all the teachers out there who have collected and counted up pennies, pounds and notes whilst supporting your students in becoming the next generation of philanthropists – you too have been instrumental in giving these children their childhoods back.
So let us say it again, thank you so much!
Let’s keep going! Here’s to the next ten years…and the next! | <urn:uuid:6d6fec3e-e2a6-49eb-9e0e-320c09995cc9> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.child-action.org/single-post/2014/11/11/ten-years-of-toybank | 2021-10-24T16:36:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323586043.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024142824-20211024172824-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.963383 | 447 | [

Whether you like to boat locally in George Bush Park pond or you take your boat out to surrounding areas like Galveston Bay, it is always important to keep abreast of boat safety especially if you are planning to have passengers. With Father’s Day coming this weekend, you may have a trip planned for your family. Before you pack up the cooler and jump aboard, make sure you refresh yourself and your loved ones on the rules of the sea:
• If any of your passengers are children or are not strong swimmers, insist they wear a life jacket at all times on board. There are too many opportunities for passengers to fall over board. You do not want them to find themselves in precarious positions they can not get out of without a life vest on. Have vests available for every passenger on board as well in case of emergency.
• Get yourself a medical kit or look through the one you already have to be sure it is fully stocked and the contents are still useable. Some kits come with expiration dates because the contents can lose their effectiveness over time. Bandages can lose their sterility and pain meds can expire. Be sure your kit will be helpful in an emergency situation.
• Have maps of the waterways you are planning to navigate. GPS and depth finders are wonderful tools, but if their power source fails, you might find yourself wondering where you are and how you will get back to shore. Good ol’ laminated maps can be a lifesaver.
• Bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Be sure you and your passengers are well protected from the heat and sun. Staying hydrated and wearing sunscreen are two great ways to do just that.
Stay safe out on the waterways! | <urn:uuid:7151c0e4-bf78-4b99-babb-e4db680d8912> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://dagleyins.com/2013/06/10/boat-safety-refreshers/ | 2021-10-26T03:32:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587794.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026011138-20211026041138-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.959579 | 351 | [

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s latest event “Spectre Rising” brings back the series’ most mysterious Specialist, and the community seems torn over the character’s identity.
Originally introduced in Black Ops 3, Spectre was a fun Specialist to use for a fast-paced, stealthy playstyle. They could become nearly invisible for a brief period with the use of the Active Camo ability, allowing for some pretty wild melee killstreaks with their Ripper blade Specialist weapon. In Black Ops 4, players can use Spectre’s abilities in standard multiplayer and the limited-time “Bounty Hunter” Blackout mode.
Spectre’s identity was always concealed by a helmet, and any speech was masked by an inhuman voice, presumably by means of a voice modulator. Everything involving the character has been cryptic. Their bio in Black Ops 3 lists their name and gender as “unknown.” Given the futuristic nature of Black Ops 3’s storyline, which covers the blurred lines between humanity and robotics, one could speculate that there’s not even a human body beneath Spectre’s armor. Perhaps there’s only metal and wires beneath the suit, soldered together by someone trying to create the perfect ninja soldier. That was one of my theories until the Spectre arrived in Black Ops 4.
Black Ops 4 launched without a campaign, but Treyarch gave us the Specialist HQ to serve as a tutorial for each Specialist and game mode. This was a great way to learn how to make the best use of the Specialists’ weapons and equipment. Completing these tutorial challenges also unlocked audio files and gorgeous cinematics that offered bits of story. I also believe Treyarch uses these cutscenes to tease the identity of Spectre.
These clips introduce us to Jessica Mason-Green and Savannah Mason-Meyer, who are the daughters of Black Ops 2’s protagonist David Mason, and the granddaughters of Black Ops 1 and 2’s protagonist Alex Mason. The opening scene shows Savannah with Jessica’s daughter Lucy, visiting Jessica’s gravesite as she is presumed dead.
We learn through audio files that Savannah Mason was somehow working with Raul Menendez, who served as the main antagonist for Black Ops 2. We get the picture of Savannah Mason being some power-hungry trillionaire, who cryptically enlists all of the Specialists to help her “change the world,” while Jessica seeks to oppose her.
Another cutscene goes back to reveal the night Jessica was fatally wounded while on a mission with Ruin and Battery. The timeline is unclear with the clips, but this could be pre-Specialist recruitment or it could be that Jessica worked alongside Savannah before breaking ties. The mission appears to have been a setup, and Jessica is shown shot in the face and bleeding out.
Spoiler: the final Specialist cutscene shows Jessica alive in a safe house and reunited with her daughter, Lucy. She also provides intel to the Specialists to show her sister has been the villain all along. Savannah not only tried to kill Jessica, but she then tries to hunt down all the Specialists for defecting from her cause.
The important pieces Treyarch shows us here are Jessica’s metal jaw, scarred face, and her speaking with a voice modulator. She sounds very much like Spectre, and now to unlock Spectre’s character skin for Blackout, you must find their Voice Modulator quest item and complete the quest mission. I don’t believe any of this is a coincidence.
I’m not the only one with this theory, but some fans are skeptical. Their doubt focuses on Spectre’s body type. Some are convinced that battle-damaged Jessica Mason-Green can’t be underneath the mask because Spectre has a masculine body type. Spectre’s body armor had a slimmer design in Black Ops 3, but the character’s redesign in Black Ops 4’s is much clunkier. I can see how the armored appearance would make people skeptical. However, Battery is also a heavily armored female Specialist, and if you could put Spectre’s helmet on her, you’d likely think she had a masculine body type too. You don’t see a curvy waistline or boobs here, only clunky armor.
I re-read the Black Ops 4 comics in hopes to uncover information about Spectre, since they tell stories about the series’ Specialists. Spectre is the only launch Specialist from the Black Ops series who is not included in the comics. Many of these one-shot issues weave a story with the Specialists of Black Ops 3 and Black Ops 4, but the timelines shown for each character are varied and not a lot of dates given. Firebreak has a haunting origin story that would be a prequel to the games, while Seraph’s story shows her accompanying Savannah Mason to a meeting held in the house that exists as a part of Black Ops 3’s Stronghold map. It is possible that each Specialist comic exists in a time either before the character met Jessica Mason-Green or after her sister’s failed attempt to kill her, thus forcing her into hiding.
Narratively, it’s plausible that Jessica is the Spectre. If I had a psycho sister with an unlimited bank account trying to kill me, I’d want my identity to remain shrouded in the same mystery as Spectre’s. And whether you still want to believe Spectre is actually just some rando dude or something or someone else entirely, it raises the question of why the game’s developers would go to the effort to give us clips of Jessica with her voice modulator at all. It sure seems like a clue.
Black Ops 4 may be the first Call of Duty to axe the story campaign portion, but I really enjoy the narrative Treyarch has created for these characters. I only wish the added Specialists: Zero, Outrider, and Spectre would’ve been added to the Specialist HQ with their own tutorials and new cutscenes. | <urn:uuid:1317a468-08b0-4ff2-a8aa-baf126153953> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://kotaku.com/black-ops-4-update-stokes-debate-about-who-the-spectre-1834633737 | 2021-10-26T03:05:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587794.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026011138-20211026041138-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.9544 | 1,256 | [

Gee, this is a swell Foyer. It has a Front door, an iron door, a wooden door, and nothing else. I’m gonna love this game.

Aah! Who said that?
You are now in the Living Room.
You see nothing special about desk. > open desk
That’s not something you can open.
Then why is it even there? You obviously don’t give a crap about atmosphere.
Okay, okay. Getting vicious and mean. Not cool. Deep breaths.
> open container
It seems to be locked.
What do you want to unlock the small wood container with? > key
Which do you mean, the Crystal key, or the Brass key? > crystal
You unlock the small wood container. > look in container
You can’t see inside, since the small wood container is closed.
Was this coded in Inform? It’s z-code. But last I knew, Inform did all this fiddly shit for you.
Be cool. Be like Fonzie. What’s Fonzie like? He’s cool.
You open the small wood container, revealing a button. What kind of button? I don’t know because You see nothing special about the button. Is it a shirt button? No, it’s a button I can take out of the wood container and then push. And the light comes on! I win!
THIS IS NOT A GAME THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME. WHY? WHY DID YOU SUBMIT THIS AAAAARGH
Addendum: It took TWO of you to write this??
“Aw, Riff! Don’t be mean! What if it’s, like, two little kids, and this is their very first IF coding experience! They’ll be all discouraged and never do IF again!”
Addendum 2: Turns out xyzzyman is probably a little kid. I’m kind of a douchebag, huh? Oh well! Game still sucks. You’re not a bad person, Eric, but you wrote a very bad game. Also, Jenni points out that, based on the content of Eric’s blog, this game is probably a very bad allegory for Jesus or something.

Revised June 2019, June 2013, October 2006
Originally approved June 1999 replacing CR36(85) "Hazardous Materials, Access to information" and CR26(88) "Hazardous Materials, Transportation of Hazardous Materials"
The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) believes that nuclear, chemical, and biological hazardous materials pose a significant risk to individuals and communities if improperly handled or if released accidentally or intentionally into the environment.
- Individuals who are at risk, including emergency personnel, have the right to know when these materials are used in or transported through their communities.
- Emergency personnel must have immediate access to all information necessary to treat victims, protect themselves, and prevent exposure of others.
- Hazardous materials should be clearly and appropriately marked.
- Vehicles transporting hazardous materials should be clearly marked that they are used for such purposes, and drivers of those vehicles should be educated in the safe transport of hazardous materials.
- Emergency personnel responsible for the care and treatment of victims of exposure to hazardous materials should be appropriately educated and trained in methods of self-protection, patient protection, and resuscitation.
- Administrative and clinical guidelines should include principles of decontamination of personnel, patients, and vehicles, including minimum equipment requirements for personal protective equipment, and recommended safety procedures.
- Emergency personnel and facilities should be updated by local, regional, state and/or federal authorities or agencies as needed to allow preparation when a defined threat is identified.
ACEP supports state and federal policies that promote adherence to these principles. | <urn:uuid:91fe8442-5b3a-45ec-b2c1-7c8fa758d6f2> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.acep.org/patient-care/policy-statements/handling-of-hazardous-materials/ | 2021-10-27T13:46:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588153.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027115745-20211027145745-00676.warc.gz | en | 0.924145 | 312 | [

The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything the world has ever seen or experienced. This infectious illness is impacting people of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world. Symptoms of this upper respiratory illness include coughing, fever, chills, and loss of breath. People are susceptible to catching this illness in all public places, especially public areas that feature large crowds because this illness is spread from person to person.
One of the major public areas of concern is the airport. With people traveling from all over the world, the airport acts as a breeding ground for the COVID-19 virus. Airport workers are subject to contracting COVD-19, especially catering, customer service, cargo, and ramp workers. Below is what you need to know COVID-19 as a cargo or baggage handler at the airport.
How Can I Protect Myself From COVID-19 as an Airport Worker?
It would be best if you took all the necessary precautions to protect yourself from COVID-19, including:
Pay Special Attention to Personal Cleanliness
To avoid contracting COVID-19 be sure to pay special attention to personal cleanliness by making small efforts such as:
- Wash your hands as much as possible for at least 20 seconds
- Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
- Clean hands after blowing your nose/sneezing/coughing
- Clean hands after removing or putting on your face mask
Other Ways Airport Workers May Protect Themselves From COVID-19
Being proactive is the best way to preserve your health; here are some additional ways to do that as an airport worker:
- Limit your contact with other people; maintain a 6-foot distance whenever you can
- Frequently disinfect surfaces
- Wear proper PPE (personal protective equipment)
- Clean cargo, catering, customer service, and ramp equipment and transportation devices, such as radios, often.
- Wash your hands after loading or touching packages, bags, and cargo/dispose of gloves you wore to move baggage
Protecting yourself from COVID-19 doesn’t have to be challenging; in fact, it can be straightforward as long as you follow standard guidelines and make it a point to adhere to new ones.
Steps an Employer Should Take to Create a Safe Work Environment
Employers are just as responsible for employee safety. It is up to the employer to provide a safer and clean work environment for employees. Here are some steps that employers should take to create a safe work environment for cargo and baggage employees.
Make Sure to Provide the Right Sanitation
Employers must provide proper sanitation for employees, this includes:
- Hand sanitizer
- Soap and clean water/cleaning stations
- Disposable disinfectant wipes
- Gloves and face masks
Additionally, employers should encourage their employees to wipe down the baggage, cargo, and baggage transportation devices, radios, and vehicles as much as possible and provide employees with a frequently cleaned break room.
Keep Your Employees Informed
One of the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 amongst airport workers is to keep them informed. Employers should make it a point to get employees the right information when it comes to COVID-19 and have a designated person that can answer any questions about it.
Likewise, employers should implement training programs that will teach employees how to sanitize properly.
Encourage Sick Employees to Stay Home
Employers should encourage sick employees to stay home without being penalized to stop the spread of COVID-19 best. Additionally, employers should implement flexible sick leave and support for employees that end up contracting the COVID-19 virus.
Employees should not be allowed to return to work until they fit specific criteria and have gotten the proper medical care that they needed.
Stay Up to Date on COVID-19
If you are a baggage or cargo handler, it will be worthwhile to stay up to date with the latest COVID-19 information. Don’t be afraid to ask your employer questions about COVID-19 guidelines as well as safety and precautionary procedures. | <urn:uuid:75b57804-5f64-4cf5-89d8-922dcb342766> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.schwarzlegal.com/blog/what-airport-workers-need-to-know-about-covid-19/ | 2021-10-27T13:42:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588153.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027115745-20211027145745-00676.warc.gz | en | 0.945181 | 842 | [

My dog, the teenager.
I have had a dog for almost two weeks, and I am trying to reconcile the nature of our relationship. I’m not my dog’s Mom, certainly, but there are elements of Mom-ness that I must incorporate into our exchanges so that everything in the house runs smoothly. Being the mother means being the foundation, the one who asks the most of those under her charge, and of course being an unwavering, unending support system. Being the mother is not always the fun job.
My dog is not my own. Sure, she lives here, but she came from somewhere else and quickly became family. I have created a nice space for her, and provide food, water, entertainment, opportunities for exercise, and everything else she could really need or want. I even sometimes give her too many treats on occasion. And when she’s here, she’s pretty content, even appreciative. She expresses that appreciation with kisses and wags…those are good moments. Sometimes she’s off on her own in her own space and I’m in mine and that’s totally okay, too.
It’s when we’re out in the world that we’re having a little trouble. Now, mind you, I have a really good dog. We are lucky, or blessed, or whatever you want to call it, but on the whole we have a very good natured dog who mostly does things really right. I have been told I should praise her in all those many moments, but I am lazy about that part of it. I take the good stuff for granted. It’s foolish, I know, and I’m working on it.
When my dog is outside, all she wants to do is experience new things, new smells, new people, and it is sometimes hard for me to hold her back. Truthfully, I am still confused about when I’m supposed to keep her right by my side and when I can let her explore. I want her to have these new experiences, but I don’t want her to get hurt. Especially not on my watch. Being outside can be exhausting for both of us, because we are each trying to get our own way, while maintaining a level of respect one for the other. It’s mentally tiring, but necessary. Outside is where we learn.
Being responsible for my dog’s start in this new life is an awesome responsibility and it’s not something I want to mess up. However, I don’t want every exchange we have to be all business…I so want us to enjoy each other during this limited time we’re together. Often, it ends up being about me teaching her how to do things rather than about our shared experience. It’s all carrot and stick and no sweetness. I find everyone else in the house gets to be the ‘fun one’, playing with toys and just in general being the people she is happiest to see. I am the enforcer, and though I try to be kind about it, she knows that tone in my voice and knows where she stands. We are not designed to be equals, though we can sometimes be friends.
My dog listens to my voice and responds to it, and I understand that she always will. We bonded pretty quickly, right there in the first few seconds when we met. But sometimes she wants to go one way and I want her to go the other. I’m not sure how it will all resolve, but I imagine that time will be an important part of it. Until then, I am enjoying those cuddly moments of my dog under my roof. Watching her sleeping in her bed is still one of my favorite things in the world, and I love watching her do so many new and amazing things. She is a really good dog, and more importantly, she’s mine.

To celebrate the opening of Nature by Design: Botanical Expressions (December 7, 2019-January 10, 2021), Object of the Day this week will feature objects from the exhibition.
The creation of what has come to be known as Hans Sloane plates derived from an increased interest in natural history in the eighteenth century, which led to the establishment of many botanical gardens. Among these was the Chelsea Physic Garden, founded in Britain in 1673. In 1713, respected physician and naturalist, Sir Hans Sloane, became the Garden’s landlord and appointed Philip Miller to become its curator. Miller then published two books based on his work there: The Gardener’s and Florist’s Dictionary , and Figures of the Most Beautiful, Useful, and Uncommon Plants described in the Gardeners Dictionary, with drawings of over 300 specimens of plants – some of which served as inspiration for the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory’s painters.
Charles Gouyn and Nicolas Sprimont had set up their porcelain manufactory in Chelsea in 1743 near the Physic Garden. Before the set of plates to which this example belongs, no porcelain factory had attempted to reproduce floral decoration on such a large scale. The plants featured are in fact so luscious that for a long time it was believed they were fantastical creations and not botanically accurate drawings, but it is now known that they stem from the work of many artists.
Miller’s book featured illustrators of the caliber of G. D. Ehret, who was celebrated for combining scientific accuracy with elegance and beauty. Some artistic freedom was nonetheless permitted to the factory’s painters, such as changing the color of flowers and foliage to make them stand out more or adding leaves for compositional balance. There is no apparent method to the selection of plants: some are ordinary and others exotic. There is also no relation to scale, and all plants are depicted within the space of the circular plate, in proportion, but not related to their actual size.
These wares became known as Hans Sloane plates because the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory published an advertisement in 1758 in Faulkner’s Dublin Journal offering “Table Plates, Soup Plates, and Dessert Plates enameled from the Hans Sloane’s Plants.”[i] Even though he had already passed by the time the plates were made, Sloane’s name was likely used because he had owned the land of the Garden, and his fame might have prompted increased sales.

TURKEY’S strike on a Russian warplane on November 24th may have been avoidable, but it was hardly an accident. Turkey claims that, in the five minutes before two Sukhoi jets flew briefly across a finger of territory that pokes into Syria, it issued ten warnings. And despite Russia’s denials and a suggestion that the missile may have struck one of the jets after it had crossed back into Syrian airspace, the run of the evidence is in Turkey’s favour. Russia was provocative; Turkey was hot-headed. The task is to ensure that the winner is not Islamic State (IS).
That is now a danger, because the loss of the plane threatens to poison relations between two countries intimately involved in the civil war inside Syria, on opposite sides. (Russia backs Bashar al-Assad’s regime; Turkey, some of its Sunni foes.) Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, has called Turkey’s act a “stab in the back by the terrorists’ accomplices”. He vows “serious consequences”. Even now, Russia is bombing Syrian Turkomans, who have an affinity with Turks and live close to the border (see article). Yet friction between Turkey and Russia would frustrate what should be the overriding aim of countering IS and bringing peace to Syria and Iraq.
A grave responsibility thus falls on the shoulders of the French president, François Hollande. Determined after the IS attacks on Paris and armed with a UN resolution, Mr Hollande is shuttling from capital to capital to galvanise the effort against IS. On November 25th he spoke to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s president. A day later he was due to be in Moscow to meet Mr Putin (see article). Mr Hollande’s task has just become harder, but it is also more crucial than ever.
Two things are needed to limit the fallout from Turkey’s strike. The first is continuing public support from its NATO allies. Over the past year Russia has repeatedly encroached on NATO airspace, particularly around the Baltic states. After previous incursions, Turkey warned Russian jets and shot down a drone—which Russia disowned. NATO has a principled interest in discouraging further intrusion and in presenting a united front. Both require it to back Turkey.
Second, and privately, NATO members need to urge Turkey to show restraint and to change its behaviour. Turkey is hindering the campaign against IS. It is more interested in striking Kurds inside Syria and removing Mr Assad than it is in crushing the jihadists. Moreover, it has failed to stop the flow of IS’s oil out of Syria and the flow of money and recruits back in.
Avoiding escalation is the easy part. Harder is the need to persuade both Turkey and Russia to focus more on IS. Turkey needs to understand that, just as its NATO allies back it, so it has responsibilities towards them. Some Turks argue that fighting IS will only help the Kurds. Even if that were true, Turkey also stands to suffer from the depredations of IS—witness two bombs in the past few months, in Ankara and Suruc, that between them claimed even more lives than the Paris attacks did. If Turkey really wants to get rid of Mr Assad, the only way is to work with Russia, not to fight it.
Something to agree about
Is Russia biddable? The signs are that Russia’s Syria campaign is not going well. As well as a jet, it lost a helicopter, sent to rescue the downed pilots, to a missile fired by the anti-Assad Free Syrian Army. After years of fighting, the official Syrian army is in poor condition. With Russian air support, it is now holding steady, but it has failed to take back much territory. Mr Assad is so steeped in blood that he is a liability for Mr Putin. With him in power, there will never be peace. Mr Hollande should stress that Russia has its own reasons to fight IS. It lost citizens in the bombing of a civilian airliner over Egypt, and home-grown jihadists are even now being radicalised inside Syria.
An alliance against IS may be beyond Mr Hollande’s reach. But he might yet shift priorities—to move IS up the order and to get Turkey and Russia thinking about a settlement. The hope is that, as the morass in Syria deepens and the memory of the Sukhoi fades, Mr Hollande will find that time is on his side.

It is, perhaps, the most undervalued shot in tennis, and Venus Williams has used it more than ever this fortnight to help clear her path to the Wimbledon semifinals. With a win this afternoon over Elena Dementieva, she will play for her fifth Wimbledon title Saturday.
It's the body-shot serve. And where Roger Federer has sent between 4 and 13 percent of his serves directly at his opponents here, Williams in her first five matches has gone from 18 percent body shots in her first two matches, to 24 percent, 19 percent and, finally, 30 percent in her straight-sets win over Tamarine Tanasugarn in the quarters.
"I've been pushing her since we got here to hit more serves to the body," said David Witt, her hitting partner and coaching consultant.
She listened, she executed and she will be a heavy favorite this afternoon, as will her younger sister, Serena, to reach the championship match. If it happens, it will be the first time since the 2003 Wimbledon, won by Serena Williams, that the sisters have competed against each other in a Grand Slam final.
On the blueprint, Venus appears to have the more difficult assignment, playing the No. 5 seed, but Dementieva has reached the upper echelons of the rankings with an astonishingly feeble serve.
Serena, meanwhile, draws unseeded Zheng Jie, the first Chinese to reach the final four at Wimbledon and a young woman who, if she can manage the most astounding of upsets, will reach the championship match on her 25th birthday. Venus Williams and Dementieva are playing for the eighth time, so Williams knows exactly what is awaiting.
There are few players who can match Dementieva's ground strokes off both sides for strength and consistency. But her serve is vulnerable, especially against a player who will attack her average 80 mph second serves the way Venus Williams will.
Dementieva has faced 50 break points in her five matches and has been broken 16 times. Venus Williams has been broken just once in each of her five matches.
In women's tennis, those are championship numbers.
When Williams has the balls, will she continue to aim serves at her opponent's body? Why stop now? The body-shot serve has a lower risk than shooting for the corners or the center service line, and it also discourages opponents from "cheating" or leaning one way or the other.
Against Tanasugarn, Williams won 10 of 17 service points she hit to the body. That may not sound like a big edge, but the tactic has the spinoff effect of making a receiver stay home, making it easier for Williams to hit her spots when she shoots wide or down the middle.
While Serena Williams has had a more difficult draw than her sister, she appears to be peaking at the right time. She crushed future star Agnieszka Radwanska, the No. 14 seed, in the quarters 6-4, 6-0, committing only six unforced errors.
Her challenge today will be to attack Zheng's service. The Chinese plays excellent defense but, like Dementieva, she does not have a strong second serve. | <urn:uuid:e21e9e37-c500-4307-ad31-93a041f71471> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2008-07-03-0807030506-story.html | 2021-10-17T12:04:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585177.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017113503-20211017143503-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.965728 | 667 | [

Struggling Morris Brown College Announces New President
Beset by financial and academic difficulties, struggling Morris Brown College turned to a familiar face in hopes of launching a new era at the historically Black school.
Dr. Samuel D. Jolley, the school’s president from 1993 to 1997, was announced as the school’s new president, taking the helm of an institution working to fix its finances and regain valuable accreditation.
“There is a tradition here that will not die and will not lay dormant,” said Jolley, the executive director of the Atlanta University Center, which includes Morris Brown and other historically Black institutions. “Yes, we have a lot of hard work to perform.”
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools took away Morris Brown’s accreditation last year amid revelations of debt, mismanagement in the financial aid office and leadership turmoil (see Black Issues, April 24, 2004).
The school was more than $27 million in debt and had an endowment of about $5 million. Without accreditation, Morris Brown lost federal and state financial aid and enrollment declined. From a high of 2,547 students, 225 enrolled last fall. It has been operating on private donations and funds from the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which founded the school in 1881.
Students and alumni say they remember Jolley’s first tenure as a time of growth and believe he can turn the school around.
“It’s like a breath of fresh air over the whole campus,” said Chester Strickland, a Morris Brown senior and vice president of student government. “This is a process we’re going to have to go through, but we’re holding on and we’re going to evolve.”
Gov. Sonny Perdue spoke at the announcement, voicing his support for the troubled college.
“Morris Brown College is one of Georgia’s great treasures and it’s a treasure we want to keep,” Perdue said.
Jolley has been executive director and CEO of Atlanta University Center — home to six schools — since 1998.
During his first term as Morris Brown president, Jolley worked to eradicate a $6.5 million deficit and help fully restore accreditation after the school was placed on probation by SACS. He holds a doctorate in education from Indiana University, a master’s degree in math from Atlanta University and a bachelor’s in math from Fort Valley State College.

Container parks in Brussels Region will again be open in the afternoons from Monday, Bruxelles- Propreté said on Saturday, but face masks will be compulsory.
Since 23 March, the city’s recycle parks have been accessible only in emergency situations or cases of extreme necessity, and then only in the morning. They will now be open in the afternoon, so as to enhance the flow of traffic in and out of the parks and ensure social distancing. However, anyone not wearing face masks will be turned away, according to Bruxelles-Propreté, which is in charge of garbage collection and management in the capital region.
From Monday, the Recyparks will revert to their usual opening times. In addition to wearing face masks, people going there will need to present their identity cards, open their car boots themselves and maintain a distance of at least 1.5 metres from the next person.
However, Bruxelles-Propreté recalls that the federal government still requires Belgians to limit themselves to strictly necessary travel. This applies to the regional container parks, which are only accessible in emergencies and cases of urgent need, such as deaths or removals.
So, do not go there, “to throw away an old electric toothbrush,” for example, said Bruxelles-Propreté spokesman Etienne Cornesse.

Bosnia Herzegovina: Flag and Map T-Shirts & Other Gifts
This Bosnia Herzegovina page highlights gifts and souvenirs with Bosnian designs by FlagAndMap and other designers. If you're looking for a value t-shirt sporting the Bosnian flag, a travel mug featuring a map of Bosnia Herzegovina or some other item with a patriotic theme then this is a great place to begin. We've also linked to other interesting and informative resources for Bosnia Herzegovina at the bottom of the page.
The flag of Bosnia Herzegovina was adopted on Feb 4, 1998. The design includes a yellow triangle over a blue background, oriented with the hypotenuse running upper left to lower right and the other two sides abutting and perpendicular to the upper edge of the flag. Running just beyond the diagonal of the triangle are 7 full and 2 cutoff white stars. Bosnia Herzegovina is a largely mountainous country located in the Balkan region of southern Europe with a very narrow connection to the Adriatic Sea. The map is compact and triangular shaped, which combines well with the bright colors of the flag to create elegant and distinctive mementos for Bosnian national mementos. All our products are customizable so you have the option of adding your own text or images at no extra cost. For example, you could add a name to create a personalized 'Bosnia Herzegovina' t-shirt for friends and family or you could create a commemorative mug featuring the Bosnian flag and map plus suitable event details. Conversely you can retain the designs as they are, which is a choice many people make.
We carry too many products for Bosnia to feature on just one page and the range is frequently refreshed, but you can see a full list of products with Bosnian designs or take a look at the following most recently added products:
You can choose from several Bosnia flag and map designs for t-shirts, each available in dozens of style/color combinations for men, women and kids. Styles include basic, polo, raglan, melange, ringer, organic, baby doll, spaghetti, long-sleeve and sweatshirt. Each of the examples below links to a product page (opening in a new window) showing more information and allowing you to switch styles, experiment with customization and make purchases. Alternatively you can browse the entire range of t-shirts with Bosnia Herzegovina designs.
Other Products by FlagAndMap
Other products that we offer include mugs, bags, hats, ties, magnets, mousepads, keychains and more. Designs are available on all product variations where such alternatives exist - for example bag designs are available on budget, grocery, impulse, tiny and jumbo totes. For more information you can click on the examples below or, if you prefer, browse all of our products with Bosnia Herzegovina designs.

This building sure has known a variety of residents. Interesting story. It has character. Thanks for linking in.
I bet this place could really tell the stories if it could talk.
What a history!Visiting from Rubbish Tuesday,~Lindy
What a wonderful house!
Very interesting post.
Very nice structure.
OH just imagine the stories these walls could tell! Wonderful picture.
The building has an interesting history but looks as though it needs a little work if it's going to continue to tell its tale to succeeding generations. Forgotten World Highway???
Makes you wonder about the stories of those who once lived in it.
Rich in history.
Old and neat!Tom The Backroads Traveller
Hopefully it will be well taken care of now that it's a heritage site.
Nice find for rubbish Tuesday!
Each room has its own story and many stories.
I love the history here. These old places link us all together in many ways.

Neat find and an interesting read on it's history.
I owned Douglas House 40 or so years ago for 3 years. it was a real adventure that I will never forget. The Needham's visited and were so thrilled to see it lived in.That house could tell some stories for sure.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Sunday a new partnership with six other northeastern states to procure stockpiles of personal protective equipment (PPE).
During the coronavirus crisis, states have been competing with each other to purchase PPE and driving up prices, Mr Cuomo said at his daily press briefing.
Mr Cuomo and other Democratic governors have been highly critical of the Trump administration's inability to procure PPE for states over the last two months.

The governors of New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, and Pennsylvania have now formed a coalition to purchase PPE as a bloc, which they are hoping will reduce prices by eliminating competition.
“The notion of coordinating together as a region makes enormous sense. So sign us up. Sign New Jersey up,” Garden State Governor Phil Murphy said via a video call-in to Mr Cuomo's briefing.
The New York governor also said today that he expects the coronavirus crisis is not likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime event and that government officials and hospitals ought to learn lessons from the experience for the next pandemic.
"We should be learning the lessons of what we just went through," Mr Cuomo said.
"People talk about this like it's going to come and go. ... 'once in a lifetime'. I don't know that it's a once in a lifetime. And I don't know that it's going to come and go," Mr Cuomo said, noting that epidemiologists and other health experts are warning of a second wave of Covid-19 that could be even more deadly than the first wave when the virus mutates.
Mr Cuomo partnered with the same six governors in mid-April to coordinate regional efforts to get people in the northeastern US back to work.
New York is set to let some manufacturing and construction projects resume on 15 May as Mr Cuomo looks to gradually re-open the local economy — even though the pandemic is far from over.

As far as my experience goes, the use of original fingerings is not common at all among harpsichordists. There are colleagues who hear “strange accents” when hearing someone using original fingerings. I believe these critics come from the lack of familiarity with the subject. There are also established harpsichordists that claim those kinds of philological research be for intellectual nerds and not useful to the music itself. I do not agree at all! I think that the use of original fingering can influence a lot the musical result. Many others claim that original fingerings are ‘too difficult’ in fast scales. But it is just a matter of practice! In recent years, I embarked on an in-depth research on original sources and keyboard pieces with original fingerings. The result was revealing for me. We should remember that all historical sources dealing with articulation, on violin, recorder, flute and so on, from the XVI century and onwards, state that all notes should have different accents and that all notes have different “values,” depending on the location in the structure. We have strong tonguing and weak tonguing, up-bow and down-bow, nota buona and nota cattiva, and so on. Often the notes are coupled and in general there is always a hierarchy of accents down to the smallest subdivision of the beat. Almost all baroque fingerings for keyboard imply the same principle of micro-articulation, with coupled notes. The common ideal is non-equality in fingers and in accents, as opposed to the equalization of all fingers and notes in modern fingering. For instance, almost in all baroque fingered scales, the thumbs and the little fingers are not used because they are considered weak and uncomfortable. In modern fingering, starting for instance in Rameau’s treatises, the crossing of the thumb makes all notes equal. The use of equalized touch and accent was established only in the 1850s. Rameau (1724) is one of the very first to introduce the thumb to create “smoothness” in playing. However, old fingerings differ from country to country, and from century to century, depending on what fingers are considered “strong” or “weak.” The scenario can get very complex, especially for German fingering. In the French fingering of D’Anglebert or F. Couperin, as well as in the Italian fingering of the important theoretician Diruta (1610), fingerings create off-beat accents, by crossing fingers: the ‘weak’ finger crosses over the ‘strong’ finger between the strong and the weak beat, thus creating an accent on the weak beat. For instance, in an ascending scale on the right hand, 2 and 4 are considered strong fingers and the scale goes like 234343434. For the French fingering, this corresponds exactly to what Hotteterre says about flute playing, by placing a strong tonguing on the weak beat and a weak tonguing on the strong beat, thus creating an off-beat accent (inégalites). In the Italian fingering ofDiruta (very probably used by Frescobaldi) ascending scales in the right hand are played off-beat, whereas descending scales in the left hand are played 23-23-23, avoiding the finger 4 in this case, with an accent on the down-beat. In the numerous passages by Frescobaldi where we have this combination of patterns in the two hands, the result is a fantastic polyphonic effect, as I hope I could show in my latest recording (I used the same fingering for Froberger as well). I am in fact very convinced that the reason why in the baroque time we have a hierarchy of fingers – and of accents, more in general, in treatises for all instruments – is because it was supposed to be heard like this. We cannot escape from it.

– What killed my piano technique
When I was a harpsichord student, I went to one of my private lessons in Vienna. I had prepared Bach’s Italienisches Konzert and I was rather proud of the way I played that piece. Instead, at the lesson, I was told that the way I was playing the fast scales of the III movement displayed a ‘piano technique’ rather than a ‘harpsichord one’. My teacher went on explaining that I should use a system of fingering closer to Bach’s time, which was radically different from the one I had learnt, with so much study and fatigue, in my long years as a piano-student. This was bad news to me! It felt like I had to start learning this new keyboard instrument all from the beginning again! All the hours spent on Schumann’s Carnaval and Chopin’s piano concertos seemed to be almost useless if I wanted to perform Bach on the harpsichord in a ‘baroque’ way! How unexpected. He gave me a series of weird instructions on how to move my hands and how to use my fingers and he left me completely unable to perform the piece for that day. I felt like a beginner, and an ignorant one! However, back home, I soon realized that this new way of moving the hand and the fingers on the keyboard, especially in scales, would create a completely new articulation and would let the instrument sound in a radically different way, a very interesting one! In fact – I was about to discover – the whole esthetic of the baroque time is very different from the romantic one, especially when it comes to ‘equality’, and the use of original fingerings helps expressing that esthetic much more quickly, in the end, and effectively, than the use of modern piano fingering. But of this, more later.
What I didn’t realize at that time was that, actually, the world of original fingering was complex, sometimes problematic, and, above all, varied according to the time and the nation. Years later, when my work as classical philologist had left place to my life as a full-term musician, I started to get more and more curious about this ‘other’ way of playing the harpsichord and I found numerous sources dealing with the subject, original sources on performance practice, mostly, but even fingered pieces in original manuscripts and prints. I also realized that not so many harpsichordists are familiar with all these sources and even less use original fingerings. Mostly, I think, because nobody mentioned these techniques to them and they were never lucky as I was to meet someone who planted this idea in their heads. Which is a real pity! I believe that original fingerings are taught very little in conservatories nowadays, although, in my opinion, once you start to use them, your instrument start to sing in a completely new way. Once you get to know them, you never leave them! Certain pieces and certain passages work as well with modern fingerings, of course, but certain others (all scales, as I said, but even many other passages, especially in XVI – XVII century music) sound drammatically different according to the type of fingerings we use.
– Why reading original sources
The distance between the modern performers and the old Masters of the XV, XVI and XVIII century is enormous. A gap impossible to fill with absolute truths and certain answers, at least in many respects. What we have is our talent, our instinct and our passions as modern human being attempting to interpret an old musical piece on one side. On the other side, there are few original sources on music theory and performance practice of the time in question. The combination of these two factors is essential in the attempt to fill the gap. The confinement of our work as performers to only one of these two elements – our modern perception of the world on one side, or the sole reading of the sources as center of inspiration on the other – makes our quest for an interpretation of baroque music more partial and most probably less close to the original than ever.
Now why should we try to play this music in a way or another, why should we strive for reaching an interpretation and a way of playing that is as close as possible to the way the old Masters conceived it, this is also a question we must ask ourselves. Of course, as artists, we should be free to express ourselves as we please and the way we want. Those on the papers are just dots, signs, symbols, there is no music until the moment we start pressing some keys. There is no art until we performers decide to make music and in so doing expressing feelings, thoughts, theories, mathematic proportions, abstract patterns, and so on. The range of possibilities is immense, we are free to do what we want with a piece of paper with some music on, as far as there is an interpretation, a thought, behind it. (Because I believe that playing without some kind of intention behind it makes little sense.)
This is all true in my eyes. However, if we decide that it is as worth to make an attempt of ‘rediscovering’ what the old Masters themselves wanted to say, to express, the way they wanted to sound, what were their own thoughts about it, in one expression, if we leave aside our own perception for a moment and try to look at those scores with the eyes of a baroque composer, the situation is different. This is an option like another to approach an old piece but it is an option that seems to me extremely exciting. Because I cannot help being curious about what these old composers I admire so much and regard as geniuses thought about their own music. What would they have made out of it themselves as interpreters? Or, even more important, what does the music itself contain and reveal? The gap is immense to fill. Impossible to close. I will never know what Frescobaldi thought or did or how he played or what was that made these women in Cappella Giulia faint when he performed! But the moment I decide to get closer to him on those terms, that is, leaving aside my own way of being and playing and reading and studying … all my years of life in this world today, I feel tremendously confused, alone, isolated, lost. How is it possible to recreate a style that was born hundreds of years ago and on which no recording is left to us? It would probably be easier just to play his toccatas as it comes, without thinking one bit … Then, a light at the end of a little tunnel, shows something: sources! Those few sources about theory and practice handed out to us which are one of the few links between us modern performers and the old composers and musicians. To those, of course, we should add a deep study of the cultural, artistic and social conditions of the time in question. And this is much easier a task, which not every body undertakes in this quest, for reasons that I cannot define if not as ‘intellectual laziness’ on our side. Just have a walk in Rome, look at San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane or stare at a Caravaggio painting! That should be already enough to realize that, oh boy, these people lived in an incredible world worth some understanding! But first of all, to read what these people wrote about how to play and why, seems to me the best starting point for an interpretation aiming at searching for the original way of intending and of playing this music. Libraries are not as attractive as a baroque church but a quest of the ancient sources is, in my opinion!
Only then, as a modern performer, I would try to filter these informations with my own way of feeling, playing, performing. Without forgetting that, ultimately, any reading of an original source is and will always be a personal interpretation, an individual view. There is no absolute truth in the original sources or in a scientific research in this field! Though, the absolute truth is that we all need to go back to the study of the original sources, even if it is inevitable to come up sometimes with different views. Ultimately, what counts is how, as interpreters, we will use those conclusions and interpretations we drew from the original sources into our own playing! Hopefully, we will able to listen to each other and to the different musical results, discuss, confront, criticize, review our own conclusions, playing in a new manner, etc. all in the name of the great respect we all should feel towards these ancient and great geniuses. What is most amazing is that often a research into sources casts some new exciting light on a piece, it fuels new ideas, the most crazy ones you would never have thought if you had just rely on your own personal, modern way of playing baroque music … or the one of your teachers!
A striking example of how research on old musical sources can bring to revolutionary results, when undertaken with an open mind, is the pioneering 1915 book of Arnold Dolmetch (The Interpretation of the Music of the XVIIthe and XVIIIth Centuries). One of the very first to read baroque musical sources – with no eminent teachers and established schools, or, in bad cases, with main-streaming movements smoothing the way towards an historically informed performance practice – Dolmetsch’s conclusions and suggestions are sometimes far more interesting, fresh and deep than those of some much more famous musicians of today. For one thing, he is one of the very few scholars I know who immediately saw the importance of the use of original fingerings for rendering baroque articulation. I read his thoughts about this subject after having come myself to this conclusion – having experienced the disbelief and condescendence (even publically) of some colleagues – and, I admit it, I was surprised by the level of understanding of the baroque esthetic in the writings of this old and out-of-fashion Father of the Early Music movement.
– Source reading on fingerings: a path towards musical gestures
I often had to defend myself from some of my friend musicians’ claim that a systematic research on original fingerings is for intellectual nerds and not useful to the music itself. I do not agree. I think that the use of original fingering can indeed influence the musical result and that this is the only reason why such a research makes sense in the end. One might claim that original fingerings are ‘too difficult’ in fast scales. They are indeed but, as everything else, it is only a matter of practice. In recent years, I embarked on an in-depth research on original sources and keyboard pieces with original fingerings. The result was revealing for me. It is interesting to remember that all historical sources dealing with articulation, on violin, recorder, flute and so on, from the XVI century and onwards, state that all notes should have different accents and that all notes have different “values,” depending on the location in the structure. We have strong tonguing and weak tonguing, up-bow and down-bow, nota buona and nota cattiva, and so on. Often the notes are coupled and in general there is always a hierarchy of accents down to the smallest subdivision of the beat. Almost all baroque fingerings for keyboard imply the same principle of micro-articulation, with coupled notes. The common ideal is non-equality in fingers and in accents, as opposed to the equalization of all fingers and notes in modern fingering. For instance, almost in all baroque fingered scales, the thumbs and the little fingers are not used because they are considered weak and uncomfortable. In modern fingering, starting for instance in Rameau’s treatises, the crossing of the thumb makes all notes equal. The use of equalized touch and accent was established only in the 1850s. Rameau (1724) is one of the very first to introduce the thumb to create “smoothness” in playing. However, old fingerings differ from country to country, and from century to century, depending on what fingers are considered “strong” or “weak.” The scenario can get very complex, especially for German fingering.
– Speech pattern of the hands: fingering and rhetoric
In the French fingering of D’Anglebert or F. Couperin, as well as in the Italian fingering of the important theoretician Diruta (1610), fingerings create off-beat accents, by crossing fingers: the ‘weak’ finger crosses over the ‘strong’ finger between the strong and the weak beat, thus creating an accent on the weak beat. For instance, in an ascending scale on the right hand, 2 and 4 are considered strong fingers and the scale goes like 234343434. For the French fingering, this corresponds exactly to what Hotteterre says about flute playing, by placing a strong tonguing on the weak beat and a weak tonguing on the strong beat, thus creating an off-beat accent (inégalites). In the Italian fingering of Diruta (very probably used by Frescobaldi) ascending scales in the right hand are played off-beat, whereas descending scales in the left hand are played 23-23-23, avoiding the finger 4 in this case, with an accent on the down-beat. In the numerous passages by Frescobaldi where we have this combination of patterns in the two hands, the result is a fantastic polyphonic effect.
During that revealing lesson in Vienna, I was generally told, in order to play with ‘original baroque fingerings’, to couple the notes (especially in long scales, as we have seen) two plus two, to avoid using the thumb, to move continuously the position of the hand alongside the keyboard, with the wrist in the same identical position (no twists), the hand always parallel to the keys, and yet avoiding crossing over the thumb, as we always do in piano playing. Even if my teacher was not so specific about what fingers exactly to use all the time, it was very important for me his insistence on not twisting the hand towards right or left, in unhealthy positions, while moving the hand from one position on the keyboard to the next one forward or backward. In fact, I believe there is a general misunderstanding about how to keep the hand while using this technique. Many think one should bend the hand toward right in up-words scales and left in down-words scales, with the result that the fingers move in a clumsy and unhealthy way. On the contrary, the best way to gain smoothness, speed and agility is, as I said, to keep the hand parallel to the keyboard, economizing the movements of wrist and fingers to the minimum.
I am very convinced that the reason why in the baroque time we have a hierarchy of fingers – and of accents, more in general, in treatises for all instruments – is because it was supposed to be heard like this. And we as performers cannot escape from this fact, I think, if we want to attempt to recreate a more ‘likely’ way this music must have sound, a more articulated, unequal way of shaping a phrase and treating each tone. For me, the use of modern piano fingering by an excellent performer, let’s say, in a Frescobaldi toccata, is like having a beautiful voice and a beautiful tone but lucking of punctuation. It is like a poem full of beautiful words and ideas but recited in an unarticulated flow with no breaks, no drama, in the end, with no rhetorical insight.
SHORT ABSTRACT from my project on:
Rhetorical strategies and artistic expression in early 18th century Neapolitan partimenti: implications for the performance practice and for the understanding of the Neapolitan-Italian style
My project focusses on partimento, a training tool in composition used in 18th century Neapolitan conservatories. It consists in a single bass-line on which, through improvisation, one realizes a composition at the keyboard. My challenge goes beyond the-state-of the-art and aims at investigating the rhetorical function of partimento, in performance practice and in connection with the innovative ‘rhetorical’ principles spread by intellectual circles in Naples. A revolutionary “Neapolitan musical rhetoric” is mentioned in many 19th century sources on 18th cent. on Neapolitan music but it is a not so common concept today and nobody has put it in connection with the teaching of partimento. Partimento must have been a way for all Neapolitan Maestri to learn this rhetoric.
Towards the end of the 17th century, Naples became a very important centre in Europe for the galante style. The awareness about the fundamental role played by 18th cent. Neapolitan school in European music has increased in recent years among scholars; my project therefore is not just confined to Naples.
The rules for the realization of partimenti are kept in collections in Naples and in Europe. To learn the art of partimento means to gain a unique insight into composition techniques, improvisation, performance practice in the Neapolitan style. Interest about partimenti has increased with important studies and courses in conservatories but no one has reflected on its function within the Neapolitan rhetorical principles.
Music rhetoric is the art of building a careful structure with expressive tools like melodic themes, periods, dynamic, harmony, etc. Rhetoric and music have often been connected. Commonly, modern scholarship believe that the Germans led a rhetorical approach to baroque music but sources on Italian and Neapolitan music say otherwise. Rhetoric was always part of the thinking of Italian composers. Neapolitan rhetoric derives from fluency in improvisation, imagination (Vico), elegance and clarity (Metastasio) and my goal is to see how this applies to the realization of partimenti.
My goal is to perform publicly and publish for the first time realizations of the toccatas by Mancini (first known partimenti).
Source-based research will support my music practice for an interpretation of partimenti that goes beyond my personal approach. In addition to the expected results, this research will also pave the way to unforeseen perspectives, allowing me to formulate questions that will lead into uncharted areas. (COPYRIGHT 2017)

Retorica e musica barocca (abstract)
followed by an English abstract
(For a complete text, contact the author)
Lo studio della retorica, con particolare attenzione ai trattati sull’argomento di ambito greco e latino, è un mezzo fondamentale per entrare a fondo nelle metodologie compositive ed interpretative della musica barocca.
La riscoperta della cultura classica, dopo il quasi totale oblio del periodo medioevale, cominciò in Italia nel XIV secolo e culminò nello stesso paese durante i secoli XV e XVI, periodo in cui si diffuse in tutta Europa.
Nello stesso periodo, la musica cominciò ad essere considerata sempre più un’arte allo stesso livello della poesia e della prosa, essendo essa pure un linguaggio che doveva basarsi sulle stesse regoleenunciate dagli antichi trattati di lingua e di retorica. Il parallelo tra musica e lingua fu poi rafforzato in Italia dalla nascita della cosiddetta “Seconda Pratica”: secondo questo nuovo stile musicale barocco, la musica doveva stupire, commuovere e dilettare il suo pubblico, e doveva suscitare ogni sorta di “affetti” (sentimenti) e passioni. Lo studio delle cosiddette “figure retoriche musicali”, utilizzate nella musica di questo periodo, costituisce un valido aiuto per l’interprete moderno nell’avvicinarsi a questo repertorio. D’altro canto, la discussione sul rapporto tra retorica e musica proseguì e si sviluppo ulteriormente in Germania con teorici quali Johann Mattheson e compositori quali Johan Sebastian Bach, i quali – come è dimostrato sia dagli scritti di Mattheson che dalle numerose testimonianze relative alla vita e all’opera di Bach – applicarono alla composizione musicale le medesime regole enunciate da Aristotele, Cicerone e Quintiliano in riferimento ad un’orazione di ambito legale. Tramite un’analisi in questo senso, è possibile riscontrare che in effetti Bach spesso divide le sue composizioni esattamente nelle cinque sezioni di un’orazione greco-latina.
OBIETTIVI per un’esecuzione storicamente informata
Sulla base delle mie conoscenze nel campo della letteratura greca e latina da un lato, e della mia esperienza professionale di clavicembalista dall’altro, l’obiettivo è quello di dimostrare, tramite spiegazioni teoriche ed esecuzioni pratiche, come le conoscenze in questo campo della teoria musicale e compositiva possano essere un contributo concreto all’esecuzione storicamente informata del repertorio barocco. Infatti, una discussione che si limitasse ad analisi isolate senza il concreto aggancio alla prassi esecutiva rimarrebbe un percorso sterile per l’esecutore.
Al contrario delle strutture solidamente razionali del contrappunto rinascimentale, nella “teoria degli affetti” barocca la gestualità retorica, espressiva ed “irrazionale”, diviene la base stessa della composizione, cosicché l’interprete deve essere messo in grado di riconoscere tutti quei codici e quegli stilemi che rivelano particolari messaggi retorici ed “affettuosi” ma che non sempre sono facili da individuare per l’esecutore moderno.
In un’Europa dove la cultura classica – ancora una volta come in epoca barbarica – minaccia di cadere nell’oblio, è importante mantenere i legami con quel mondo antico senza il quale sarebbe impossibile ricostruire un adeguato approccio al passato barocco, e senza il quale una parte importante dell’essenza più alta della civiltà occidentale andrebbe pericolosamente persa.
Classical rhetoric in baroque music
The aim of this paper is to show that rhetoric, in the way the ancient Greeks and the Romans had conceived it, was an important tool in composing as well as interpreting baroque music. The rediscovery of classical culture, after the partial but very substantial oblivion during the Medieval time, started in the XIV century in Italy, where it culminated in the VX and the XVI century, and in this later phase it spread in Europe.
In the ancient world, rhetoric was the art of making a speech, usually in public, often in law-courts or assemblies. It was the mark of a civilized society with freedom of expression and democratic laws. It represented the power and the dignity of the word. This is why in the civilized world of the Renaissance it acquires once more great importance. In the same period, around the XVI century, music is considered more and more an art with the same dignity of poetry and prose, and with the same rhetorical devices that are found in the ancient treatises on languages and speeches.
The study of the musical “rhetorical figures” used in this style can be a valid help for the modern performer
The parallel between music and languages is strengthened by the birth in Italy, towards the end of the XVI century, of the new musical style called “Seconda pratica”. According to this style, music must express all sort of feelings and passions in order to move the audience. The study of the musical “rhetorical figures” used in this style can be a valid help for the modern performer to approach this kind of baroque repertoire. The discussion on rhetoric and music continues and develops in Germany with theoreticians like Mattheson and composers like Bach, who apply to musical compositions the same roles of how to articulate a speech as they are found in Cicero and Quintilian.
Thanks to my back-ground in the field of ancient Greek and Latin literature (I own a doctorate in classical philology) and my professional experience as a harpsichord player, I have become interested in this aspect of music-theory and I have given lectures and concerts on this subject – sometimes together with my husband recorder player Dan Laurin – in several conservatories and courses in Europe.
Above all I have tried to analyze and investigate how the knowledge in this field can help to orientate historically informed performance-practice. Because, ultimately, the goal for such a research for musicians like me is not to limit the discussion to some isolated analysis, but to be able to apply practically this knowledge to our way of performing.

Trespassing, traffic reported near bald eagles' nest site
Fans of York County's most famous eagle family are so eager to see the pair of growing chicks that some are causing traffic problems on a rural back road near the Hanover-area nest site, officials said.
The best view of the eagles remains on the Internet, where the Pennsylvania Game Commission's website offers a free live-steaming "eagle cam." People from around the world have been keeping up with the raptors through the live stream video, according to Travis Lau, commission spokesman.
Eagle enthusiasts have also been making pilgrimages to Codorus State Park, according to park manager Warren Werntz.
Volunteer birders set up spotting scopes at the park's classroom building — located behind the park's marina — to help people view the raptors from across Lake Marburg, he said.
"Mostly there are birders there every day," Werntz said.
The nest is on private property near the park and can be seen with binoculars from the park's marina and sailboat area, according to Hanover bird expert Karen Lippy.
But cars are stopping on the narrow back road to see the nest, forcing traffic to drive around them, she said.
Some cars drive too fast, according to Lippy, and others block private driveways when they stop.
Warning signs: Werntz said park rangers have heard about vehicles blocking a private driveway.
"We're going to be putting up signs in the driveway telling people not to (trespass)," he said.
Southwestern Regional Police Chief Greg Bean confirmed he's aware of neighbors' concerns about trespassing and parking.
"It's a sparsely used road, so any new traffic does raise some eyebrows for residents," he said. "Officers from the park and from our department have observed vehicles that are stopped along the roadway. We do ask them to move. ... It's not safe and it's illegal to obstruct the roadway."
Bean said police will enforce trespassing laws against anyone who walks onto private property there without permission.
"We've been proactive and have increased patrols in the area," he said. "Officers have been in contact with a dozen or so (people who) parked on the roadway or had trespassed on private property."
'Sensitive time': The neighborhood is so quiet that any vehicle slowing or stopping there sticks out like a sore thumb, according to the chief.
Lau said he understands why people are driving to the nest site.
"They want to see the famous eagles," he said. "But you don't want to be the one who's responsible for a nest failure. And that's the risk you run if you try to (get too close). It's a sensitive time in the nesting cycle."
Disturbing an eagle's nest can result in local and federal charges.
Lau urged people to watch the eagles either from Codorus State Park or on the eagle cam.
"You're not going to get a better look than you get on the camera," he said.
Chick update: The two eagle chicks, which hatched March 24 and 25, are busy eating and sleeping, Lau confirmed, and appear to be doing well.
"They're starting to walk around a little bit and explore the nest a little," he said.
The adult eagles have been stocking up on food, which litters the edges of the nest. That includes fish people are calling gizzard shad, Lau said, as well as some mammals.
Look closely at the eagle cam and it's not hard to spot the multitude of flies.
The ever-dwindling remains of a skunk were still at the edge of the nest as of Monday afternoon.
"Their sense of smell isn't very good," Lau said of bald eagles.

"There are few sights more thrilling than a bald eagle at its nest or in action along a shoreline," the Pennsylvania Game Commission notes on its website, but acting responsibly around them is very important, as eagle nests are easily disturbed.
Disturbing nests can endanger the eaglets in it and cause them stress, according to the commission, which urges people to enjoy eagles from a distance and to respect the birds' space.
The commission website offers etiquette guidelines for watching eagle nests, which are reprinted here:
* Stay at least 1,000 feet from an active nest, roost or feeding area. Use binoculars or a telescope to view the eagles from a distance.
* Be quiet. If you must talk, whisper.
* Try to be unobtrusive. Use your vehicle or boat as a blind, because eagles often are more alarmed by pedestrians than vehicles.
* Avoid sudden movements — and movements directly toward the eagles or the nest — while on foot or in a vehicle or boat.
* Don't make the birds fly, known as "flushing." Flushing an eagle off a nest may expose the eggs or young eaglets to cold or wet weather, or to a predator. It also wastes precious energy and may cause eagles to leave behind a valuable meal or abandon a nest that's under construction.
* Pay attention to how an eagle reacts to your presence. If it appears agitated, vocalizes repeatedly or starts moving away, you are too close.
* Respect restricted zones, which protect eagle nesting areas. You are breaking state and federal laws if you enter them.
* Respect the privacy of the landowner. Don't tell everyone about a new eagle nest, as it will attract people who don't know proper etiquette as well as other unnecessary attention to a nest. If you unexpectedly stumble onto an eagle nest, or hear an eagle vocalizing overhead, leave immediately and quietly.

Here’s a Beet Salad for Vata Dosha I learned from my Morrocan friend Edith that I like to make in Autumn and Spring as a side dish with heavier food. Beet are an excellent Vata vegetable as they are easy-to-digest and, like turnip and radish, and excellent digestive as they stimulate the Gall Bladder to secrete bile.
Why Does this Recipe Paciy Vata Dosha in Ayurveda?
As a Vata dominant type in Ayurveda, I dont eat too many raw vegetables, but cooked Beets in salad plays the same refreshing role.
Sweet, Sour, Salty, Unctuous/Slippery, Warming All help Vata Dosha
Beets have a natural Sweet and Sour taste, which along with Salt, pacifies Vata Dosha. And when Beets are cooked, they have a nautrally unctuous, or slippery quality, that benefits naturally dry Vata, especially Vata’s who suffer from constipation and bloating.
Even better, this warming quality of this Morroccan Beet Salad for Vata Dosha recipe aids the naturally weak digestion of Vata dosha.
Digestion in Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine–A process of Firey Transformation
Digestion in Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine both is a process of warm transformation that involves the break down of raw material (food) into energy (Qi, Prana) by the Firey Liquids of digestion–hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile.
Because Vata dosha is naturally light, spacy, airy, dry, and cold, Vata dominant types often have weak digestion, what Ayurveda calls Agni, exactly the fire of the gut’s digestive juices. Vata need the Agni stimulating effects of warming herbs and spices, (but not the overstimulation of chiles) along with the soothing effects of unctuous food preparations with sauces and healthy fats.
In this Beet Salad for Vata Dosha recipe, the natural spice of beets, combines with the digestive fire stimulating cumin, garlic, olive oil, and lemon to stimulate Agni digestive fire, which in turn nourishes, warms, soothes, and pacifies Vata dosha elevation
Morroccan Beet Salad for Vata Dosha Recipe
Cook Your Beets Whole
Boil Whole Beets until you can easily push a fork thru to the center.
Allow to Cool. Speed it up by placing beets in Cold Water
Peel. I use the edge of a dull knife with the beets in a bowl of water. The water helps pulls the peel off.
Cut into 1 inch rectangular cuboid slices or small cubes
Add Olive Oil and Spices
For two cups of beets
Olive Oil– enough to coat well and then some. Start with 2 tbsp or more
Lemon Juice– in relationship to the oil and garlic start with 1 tbsp and go from there
Salt– just enough to open up the flavors ½ tsp to start
Garlic, Crushed– just enough to smell nice dont overdo. Start with a single bulb.
Cumin Powder– a piercing sharp favor….enough to balance the garlic 1-2 tsp
Black Pepper– a very small amount… a pinch or two…to accent the cumin and contrast the lemon and garlic.
and prepare at least 2 hours before serving so the flavors can get to know each other and mix well. I like to make one day ahead.
Beets are already sour, so dont overdo the lemon.
BUT, even more, dont go crazy with the garlic, as its raw…
The amount of cumin, garlic, and lemon will also depend on the flavor of the Olive Oil….
some oils are already spicy, some more fruity. I go with a softer more fruity olive oil for this recipe, although North African olive oil, such as Tunisian, like Sicilian, is rather spicy.
dry roast the cumin first for a different cumin flavor. Dry Roast the cumin whole, allow to call, then grind in your spice grinder…..You can add some diced cilantro to this dish as well, but then you are entering the world of Indian cooking (or Mexican!) I have made this with a smidgen of anise or Lucknow fennel, as well. Hope you enjoy this Beet Salad for Vata Dosha! Let me know in the comments section!

Here’s a necklace I made last week. My photography wouldn’t win any awards but you can get the gist of what it looks like.
It’s a little bit heavy and it’s supposed to have five strands but I stuck with four. As it was, it was hard enough to get those four strands into a clasp to hold everything together at the ends. It hasn’t fallen apart yet, but for my first effort I’m pretty pleased. | <urn:uuid:0eb12c71-23b0-4030-b455-84f6ca230af1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://semanticallydriven.com/2007/05/i_made_a_beaded.html | 2021-10-26T09:16:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587854.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026072759-20211026102759-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.962966 | 102 | [

With the extension of the forum from “documentary” to “screen”, there are a number of areas opened up for attention, primarily the exploitation of new media and transmedia, and gaming. Game makers Jeff Nusz; Chris White from BigLittleBang; and Stephen Knightley of Ingame will be the speakers from the latter area.
Anna Jackson and Fiona Milburn from Transmedia NZ, both of whom helped develop the programme expansion beyond documentary, will also present. They’ll be joined by speakers from conference hosts AUT, no strangers to new media, Geraldene Peters and Frances Joseph, along with mobile guru and all-round sexy Frenchman Laurent Antonczak.
Several regular speakers return, including John Barnett (SPP) and Dave Gibson (Gibson Group), Pixeco’s James Franklin and Borderless Productions’ Quijing Wong.
International speakers confirmed to date are Fuse Capital’s Keyur Patel (USA); Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific’s Vikram Channa (Singapore); and filmmakers Chris Paine (USA); Heidi Specogna (Germany); Tom Zubrycki (Australia) and Naked Flame’s John Caldon and Fiona Gilroy (also Australia).
From the local production community, in addition to those already mentioned, Cloud South’s Sumner Burstyn (This Way of Life) joint winner of last year’s Outstanding Contribution award at the Doc Edge bash; Suzy Cato, Treehut Productions; Luke Nola (Let’s Get Inventin’); Ian Taylor, ARL/Taylormade Media; producer Lyn Collie (There Once Was An Island); Vincent Burke, founder of Top Shelf Productions and the soon-coming new Freeview channel; and filmmaker and, recently, acting head of Script to Screen, Matthew Horrocks.
Funders and other industry bodies are represented, with development executive Chris Payne and CEO Graeme Mason from the NZFC; CEO Jane Wrightson from NZ On Air; SDGNZ chair Peter Bell; and former Doc Edge staff member Alanagh Stone.
Maori Television’s Annie Murray is, thus far at least, the only broadcaster participating in panel discussions. More broadcasters will take part in DocPitch, for which TVNZ’s Jude Callen and MediaWorks’ Sue Woodfield have been longtime judging panel members.
The Screen Edge Forum runs 2 – 4 May at AUT. The best of the earlybird deals expires on Sunday, 1 April, with a smaller saving on admission available until the 15 April. | <urn:uuid:add36c90-5397-4b24-9cb5-5b2f18f9adaf> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.screenz.co.nz/screen-edge-panellists-confirmed/ | 2021-10-16T06:20:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583423.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016043926-20211016073926-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.860541 | 537 | [

I get my best ideas when I am out doing things unrelated to work or home- I end up stumbling across something that strikes me as similar, and sometimes gives me a whole new perspective on how I deal with a challenge I’m facing. I find a whole new vein of ideas and material that I never would have considered before, and it opens up tons of new possibilities.
For example, my interests in marketing and branding were not things I set out to learn a lot about intentionally. I started hanging around more marketers, and started to absorb stuff almost second hand. I started reading more business books, and found the lessons they were trying to teach in a business context crossed over quite nicely into the world pf parenting and education. Now, several years later, there are more and more books that deal both with business, psychology, motivation and learning theory, something I had to sort of create on my own previously.
Digging a little deeper, let me explain a bit more. Marketing and branding are geared towards getting messages across in the simplest, most meaningful form possible, if they are going to be successful. What if you took these same concepts, and taught them to children? What if you taught them presentation skills and study skills as a separate class? What would happen if you taught kids that by expressing themselves clearly was more important than filling up a page with the most numbers of relevant examples, but just made a few convincing points ? What if you looked at every project as “making a case” for your ideas?
When I talk with my kids about the house rules, I can’t cover everything, and we don’t have a written manual. But by adhering to our weird mission statement about the rules- 93% are about health and safety, and the rest are about kindness and consideration- the reason behind the rules and the compliance goes up considerably. My kids want to know the Why’s about the rules, and we explain them, because they deserve to know that there’s a logic behind the rules and regulations, not just to assume it’s some whimsical fiat I am imposing because I’m bored. Because we give them the whys, and let them discuss the rules if they seem unfair, or find other solutions to the problems at hand, everyone in the house is a stakeholder and has ownership of the success or failure of the plan.
The business books I’ve read have helped me understand how to “market” my messages to my kids. It’s teaching them on how to market their messages to their teachers as well. While it’s hard for a kid to understand the grading system all the time- so often grades on projects, tests and papers seemed pretty arbitrary to me- starting to explain to them “If you looked at this paper, what grade would you give it and why?” lets them shift focus to the outside and evaluate their work with a fresh perspective. Not always a perfect strategy, but one that can be useful, at least with kids from middle school age and beyond. I may be a tough focus group of one, but if they can start to better self-evaluate, I won’t need to be the teacher’s proxy all the time, either.
Likewise, Chris Penn has done a series of blog posts about learning economic lessons by playing World of Warcraft. This is again, taking a proxy for a problem- learning about how basic economic systems work, and when they get frenzied and out of control, and applying these ideas to bigger projects. Other games, like Civilization, can teach you alot about the allocation of resources and the general competitive nature of cultures. How far can you push someone before war seems inevitable? When will someone try to bully you into a bad deal? What approach works best with aggressive neighbors?
The point here being that new ideas come in all shapes and sizes. They might strike while goofing off, reading a book outside of your typical genre, or even by overhearing people in coffee shops. Part of my 2009 plan will be to do more of the stepping out of my protectuve shell and explore more- because you never know where that new insight will come from. | <urn:uuid:74de7ae1-9d16-4185-a3ae-c67c5d004656> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.whitneyhoffman.com/2008/12/28/multiple-ways-of-learning/ | 2021-10-16T04:48:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583423.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016043926-20211016073926-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.970023 | 867 | [

Throughout geologic time, a strong feedback has existed between the geosphere and the biosphere; therefore biological evolution and innovation can be linked to the evolution of ancient environments on Earth. Here we deduce geochemical signatures and phylogenetic relationships of prokaryotes from whole genome sequences and use this link to infer geochemical aspects of the biosphere through time. In particular, we have investigated two potential biosignatures for modern and ancient biochemistry: the magnitude of microbial carbon isotopic fractionation, and the use of metals in microbial cells. The distribution of carbon fixation pathways on microbial phylogenies suggests that: (1) both low and moderate carbon isotope fractionation were established quickly in the early evolution of life; and (2) methanotrophic and ethanotrophic metabolisms capable of producing biomass with extreme 13C depletions are not primitive, but rather evolved after the major groups of Prokaryotes had already diverged. The universal importance of the TCA cycle, which results in low carbon isotopic fractionation, indicates it may have evolved especially early making it perhaps the most likely carbon fixation pathway for the last common ancestor (LCA). Low isotopic fractionation by the reductive TCA cycle can be considered consistent with carbon isotope ratios found in 3,800 million year old Isua sediments. Additionally, moderately fractionated biomass from up to 3,500 million years ago can now likely be attributed to carbon fixation by anoxygenic photoautotrophs using the reductive pentose phosphate gele (Calvin cycle). In addition to carbon, cells require a number of other elements that could potentially provide biosignatures, including bioactive trace metals. We calculated "model metallomes" for 52 prokaryotes based on the number of atoms of trace metals required to express one molecule of each metallo-enzyme coded for in the corresponding genomes. Our results suggest that the use of metals in prokaryotes as a group generally follows the hierarchy- Fe ≫ Zn > Mn ≫ Mo, Co, Cu ≫ Ni > W, V. However, model metallomes vary with metabolism, oxygen tolerance, optimum growth temperature, and phylogeny. The model metallome of methanogens shows a unique metal signature, suggesting that elevated requirements of nickel and tungsten might be translated to the expressed metallome providing a biosignature for methanogenesis. The model metallomes of diazotrophs and cyanobacteria do not show unique signatures; however changes in enzyme expression under some conditions could still translate into a metal biosignature in the expressed cellular metal content. In a separate analysis, we made inferences abou t the timing of the evolution of individual metallo-enzymes based on their function and occurrence in modern organism. The results suggest that fluctuations in the redox state of the Earths oceans and atmosphere have forced changes in the proportions of metals used in biology. In this model, biological use of copper and molybdenum has developed along with bioavailability; biological use of iron and manganese has developed counter to bioavailability; and biological use of zinc, cobalt, and nickel has not changed significantly through time. Using this technique, we estimated a model metallome for the LCA based on the metallo-enzymes we infer to have been present at that time. This metallome for the LCA differs greatly from one extrapolated from the distribution of model metallomes on microbial phylogenies, supporting the idea that gene loss, metal substitution, and lateral gene transfer have been important in shaping the enzymatic composition of extant organisms.

July 6, 2018
Good morning, grey skies and a little relief from the heat wave! What a strange week with a day off smack dab in the middle, but I kind of enjoyed the bouncy, momentum-less rhythm of this week – like summer days of childhood where there’s absolutely nothing that needs doing.
- The Bullshit-Job Boom, New Yorker. Interesting book review that doesn’t totally cosign the book. “Graeber thinks that a sense of uselessness gnaws at everything that makes them human. This observation leads him to define bullshit work as “a form of paid employment that is so completely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious that even the employee cannot justify its existence even though, as part of the conditions of employment, the employee feels obliged to pretend that this is not the case.”
- Gossip is Good, The Atlantic. This is kinda wild, the positive social effects of gossip: “Despite gossip’s dodgy reputation, a surprisingly small share of it—as little as 3 to 4 percent—is actually malicious”
- The Way We Talk About Bodies, Lindy West for Self. “We’re supposed to be hot in all the old ways while appearing liberated in the new ones. We’re expected to devote ourselves to weight loss as much as our mothers and grandmothers did, while at the same time orchestrating an elaborate cover-up: this modern weight loss is always a coincidence, a byproduct of our “wellness practice,” an incidental surprise.“
Lindy West is one of my heroes. “You don’t have to do this perfectly. But I hope you will afford yourself the same generosity and unconditional love that you so effortlessly extend to your friends and siblings and children. If you need to maintain a certain body size in order to feel like yourself, do it with kindness and self-reflection. Fight to remember that you are living inside of a cruel, toxic system, and when you hate yourself for gaining five pounds it’s because a billion-dollar industry conditioned you to feel that way for profit. Do everything you can to break that cycle for the next generation. Work to make the world a warmer, safer, and more accommodating place for bodies more marginalized than yours. Believe that you will be okay even if you get fat. Remember that is not better to be thin than to be fat: not morally, not aesthetically. Think about that until you really believe it.” Be right back, just crying over here.
#1120: The Creepy Guy In The Friend Group, Revisited: Four More Geek Social Fallacies, Captain Awkward. Captain Awkward is always so good, but especially when she looks at how the dynamics in a group of friends can go awry, why no one wants to address it head on, and how you can start to fix it for yourself. “What if we could learn expensive and uncomfortable lessons much earlier, by saying “I believe you, let me see what I can do” to the victim of the bad behavior and “Hey, I like you a lot, can you knock off doing that gross thing so I can keep liking you”
to the perpetrator? If someone you like is behaving badly, you probably
couldn’t have prevented it, but could you at least not become their
flying monkey after the fact? Could we reverse the current of social pressure that teaches victims
not to speak up so that awkwardness flows toward perpetrators?”
- Letter of Recommendation: ‘Live Like a French Woman’ Books, NYT. “In recent years, the genre has grown to include hygge (how to be Danish) and lagom (how to be Swedish), and guides on being Greek and Italian too. The crazier things get here at home, it seems, the more certain readers long to escape into a culturally homogeneous fantasy Europe where everyone shares the same values, works a 30-hour week and is nourished by deep roots and routines that are also, somehow, supposed to be welcoming and inclusive — learnable by the likes of you and me. As a friend once pointed out, the implied subtitle of all these books is: If we only had a system!

Normally, when I think smartphone, I think QWERTY keyboards. I think bulky touchscreen displays and 3G (or better yet, HSDPA) connectivity. So the HP iPAQ 500 Series candybar handset is a bit of a break from the norm. It runs Windows Mobile 6.0 and as such comes with the full range of push email and mobile office applications, media player and Windows Live Messenger, yet it is still barely bigger than any ordinary camera phone.
Speaking of which, the iPAQ 500 series comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, as well as a microSD card slot and 2.5mm headphone slot. Connectivity is limited to GPRS/EDGE, but the absence of 3G support is made up for by the inclusion of 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.
The most intriguing feature, however, is the Voice Valet – a voice recognition system that allows you to navigate to pretty much any of your handsets functions, dial any contact, read/compose SMSs and emails and control the mediaplayer just by gabbling commands at it. Nice in theory, but does it really work? Find out on the turn.
Okay, so the voice command system does sound some futuristic vision from the 80s. And to be honest it has been tried many times before and failed pretty miserably. This time, however, HP might just have got it right. Once the Voice Valet is active, you can just issue various logical commands (for example: ‘Read SMS’ or ‘Start Camera’) to get you just about anywhere on the phone.
Best of all, you don’t need to spend ages training the phone to recognise your voice. It just does it and with a surprising amount of accuracy too. It isn’t completely infallible, probably because it is designed for American accents, but this mostly affects the recognition of names in the address book. Fortunately you can improve this if you
affect a really nasal accent have your contacts properly organised with all the surnames stored as well, which seems to make it easier for the phone to narrow things down correctly.
If however, you find the voice recognition idea to be just a bit too gimmicky (and the badly synthesised confirmation tones are pretty depressing), there’s no need to rely on it – everything can still be done in the exact same way as normal. General operation is also pretty well thought out, mostly thanks to improvements in the Windows Mobile 6.0 OS. This includes an excellent push email system that will give you immediate email delivery, as well as synchronisation with your Outlook calendar, tasks and contacts via the Exchange Server.
The Windows Live Messenger and Live Search services are also fairly impressive and after they’ve been setup, they can be used directly from the home screen which makes accessing common tasks a lot faster.
Talk and standby time is also a respectable 6.5 hours/6.7 days. During our tests the call quality seemed to be up scratch as well with decent clarity and no background nasties. A further appealing feature is the ability to use the Wi-Fi connection for VoIP calls. Unfortunately, you do need a PBX phone system with VoIP services to use this, so I can’t vouch for the quality of VoIP calls.
The small-scale candybar design is appealing as it does cut down on pocket bulk – something that you can’t achieve with a full QWERTY key set on board. However, this still leaves the buttons feeling just a little bit cramped on the iPAQ 500 series.
The aesthetics suffer from a pretty bland design. Small and functional the handset may be, but it really isn’t going to be wining any style awards.
Although the voice recognition system is downright impressive, it comes with a noticeable lack of any voice to text recognition. That means no composing SMS messages or emails by voice alone, which is a shame. However, there is some small consolation in that you can compose an audio email, which basically sends a recording of your voice to a contact via email.
The Windows Mobile 6 operating system is impressive in its design and proves fairly intuitive, easy to use and generally fast in operation. Unfortunately though, the stability issues that affected, well, every other version of Windows ever, are still present. For me this was mostly limited to the phone hanging on certain actions – particularly annoying when I was trying to answer a call and it wouldn’t respond. Oh and then there was the time when the phone decided, incorrectly, that my SIM was locked and wouldn’t make any calls. Magic.
Dimensions: 4.86 x 1.63 x 10.7 cm

The HP iPAQ 500 series handset is appealing if you want to sample the full benefits of push email and mobile office solutions, but without being forced to take a bulkier QWERTY smartphone. It isn’t the most glamorous phone to look at, but the candybar design and understated aesthetics won’t leave you cringing with embarrassment either. The rich feature set has all the smartphone essentials like Wi-Fi, push email and Mobile Office, and the speedy operation means that at a pinch you really could manage your office life from the phone.
To be honest though, if you’re that desperate to be in constant communication with your work life, you’ll need something bigger – like a laptop. But if you simply want a device that lets you keep on top of things, with out it taking over your life, then HP might have just found the right balance. | <urn:uuid:e8652509-e3b9-47b4-9581-e3cabec52eb6> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.techdigest.tv/2007/07/review_hp_ipaq.html | 2021-10-20T17:11:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585322.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020152307-20211020182307-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.953746 | 1,214 | [

Do you remember the very first company Christmas Party you went to? The one you bought a fancy dress for, also got a new haircut or style, then filed and polished your nails the day before and refused to do anything that might break one. The one that made you think you were so grown up and mature. This happened for me when I was a senior in high school. My “sweetheart” had graduated the year before and was working locally until his draft number came up.
A couple of days before the party he got a bad cold. Of course he still went to work, but he decided he was too sick to go to the party because he was coughing all the time and had a slight fever. I had been waiting for that party for over a month and I was devastated by his decision. Luckily his boss lived across the street from me. (And his boss’s daughter was a very close friend.) I went to the neighbors to complain and share my misery.
The boss, Don, was a very understanding man with five kids of his own. He was also very practical. His reasoning we should still go to the party went something like this. “Don’t you still have to eat? Don’t people sometimes have a little brandy when they have a cold? Don’t a lot of cough drops taste like mint?” Yes was the answer to all three questions. The next instruction was, “You tell your boyfriend all of those things, then tell him to drink Stingers at the party. I’m sure he’ll feel better.” I had to ask what a Stinger was. He explained it was a drink made with brandy and crème de menthe.
I went home to make the phone call that included the information and some begging. We went to the party. I found out it was just a bunch of people standing around talking, most of whom I didn’t know. I don’t remember any details about the food or door prizes, but I remember Stingers are a great aid for the common cold.

Add custom flair to your jean jackets and backpacks! Patches are a fun way to put your embroidery skills to a fun and modern use—they’re just a simple applique created in the hoop! Combine designs with lettering and you can even create custom merit badges for your friends. Make just one for a special (and lucky) friend or stitch multiples in a mega or jumbo hoop for party favors or group gifts.
Materials to Create an Embroidered Merit Badge
- Main fabric
- I chose a cotton-linen blend canvas to add some strength and rigidity to the patch
- Backing fabric
- Cotton sheeting (like quilting cotton) works great
- 505 Spray Adhesive
- Isacord embroidery thread
- OESD AquaMesh water soluble stabilizer
- OESD Fuse N Seal permanent iron-on adhesive
- OESD Perfect Embroidery Press Cloth
- Tula Pink Hardware Duckbill Applique 6” Micro Serrated Scissors
- Drop-shaped embroidery foot #26
- Large oval embroidery hoop
- B 500
- Scout by Cotton + Steel for OESD
- Sushi The Cat design available in this design package or individually
- Lettering setup with Toolbox software
Steps to Create an Embroidered Patch
Step 1. Prepare fabric & hoop
Our first step is preparing our materials to stitch out. Begin by hooping two layers of OESD AquaMesh. AquaMesh is a wash-away stabilizer meaning that once we stitch on it, we can rinse it away completely. Our patch is an embroidered, free-standing applique so we will stitch it out on the AquaMesh as the stabilizer holds everything in the hoop then remove the stabilizer when we’re done.
Once we have our stabilizer hooped, set the fabric in the hoop by lightly spraying the stabilizer with 505 Spray and pressing your backing fabric right side down in the middle of the hoop. Your placement does not need to be exact as we can move the design once it is loaded in the machine.
Step 2. Prepare design
Load your design into the machine. I have mine set up in two parts— the applique outline and then the main design with lettering. Cotton+Steel’s Scout design pack includes several patch applique outlines and we will be using the largest circle which is approximately 3” in diameter.
Bring in both elements of your design, align them to one another, and Group them. Then align the grouped design to your hooped fabric.
Step 3. Stitch out design
When your design is moved into place, it is ready to stitch out. Since our outline is the bottom layer, it will be the first to stitch out. The machine will sew anchoring stitches to secure our fabric to the stabilizer.
Once the excess fabric is trimmed away, the next layer of stitching is a dense satin stitch that will secure the raw edge around your applique and then the rest of the design will continue to stitch out as usual.
With the stabilizer removed, dry the patch and press it flat.
Step 5. Make it fusible
When your patch is dry and pressed nice and flat, trace the outline on the paper backing of OESD Fuse & Seal. Fuse & Seal is a permanent fusible adhesive that is great for when you want a durable, strong bond.
Now cut out the traced shape, cutting just inside the line you drew. This ensures that the fusible adhesive will not overhang the applique patch.
Place the textured side of the Fuse & Seal on the wrong side of the patch and press. Be sure to leave the paper on for this step and for several minutes after pressing! This step adheres the fusible glue to the patch and you want to give it time to cool and set after pressing.
Once the Fuse & Seal has set, remove the paper backing and iron your new merit badge onto whatever you choose! | <urn:uuid:9291d4e9-f458-47fe-bd0b-925e0e9bd1ce> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://weallsew.com/diy-embroidered-merit-patch/?utm_source=weallsew&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=post_national_embroidery_month_week_four | 2021-10-22T03:35:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585450.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022021705-20211022051705-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.879321 | 846 | [
