Mitch Mullaney plays a bumbling school teacher who gives his kids lessons in not only school work but in life and most beautifully love. Mullaney is amazing!! In this role he displays a sense of comedic timing that belies his youth and lack of experience on the small screen. Many critics have argued that this series chooses to rely on conventional stereotypes to deliver its poignant message and in this respect is weak. However, the use of these already well developed character profiles allows the show to almost paradoxically better explore the concept of what it means to be human, falable and individual. Special mention must go to the Ukranian beauty Mila Kunis who plays Anna-Marie and who sets the screen alive with her electric beauty and powerful presence. I predict she will in time redefine the accepted idea of a perfect Hollywood leading lady.
In this series Freno is willing to sacrifice all that is pure in his own life to save the innocence of one of his nubile young femmes or courageous young bucks. Freno it seems would even sacrifice his career for his students. Through this Freno calls upon the audience to question what they think is dear to them and open their minds to what lies beyond their button down existence. So much more is out there to enjoy. Must one choose between being a teacher and a lover? Or is it possible to be both. I believe in "Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher" there is an answer to this eternal question.
So folks...grab a pencil case, a juice box, some tasty snacks to mack on and go back to school for the lesson of your life. A lesson that there is always hope if you believe in yourself but most importantly if you are brave enough to believe in others.

By Janet (Krider) Duncan ‘58
The Class of 1958, 154 of us, were proud to be the first class to walk as graduates across the new MHS stage at Sunset and Poyntz. We published a 50 Year Memory Book for our past reunion, and it was a gratifying experience. Two-thirds of the class responded with reminiscences and/or photos. Here’s what has happened with us in the last 50 years.
As children we listened to radio serials and ducked our heads at our grade school desks for atom bombs; we were teenagers in the 1950s of Leave it to Beaver and General President Eisenhower (peace from foreign wars and the National Guard in Arkansas because of segregation). A few of our mothers worked, a few of us had plenty of money and some of us didn’t. Some were truly poor, some were rural. All this was normal. The concept of “Mean Girls” didn’t exist, but a few of us were black and very meanly discriminated against by the laws of adults. Too much of that was normal, too. “In God We Trust” was added to the $1 bill and two members of our class protested having to attend a religious Easter assembly at MHS. This history still has a familiar feel.
During our MHS years, we were a diverse bunch. When asked to remember favorite teachers, almost every one of MHS’s 35 teachers and four administrators got mentioned. But there were definitely favorites: Mr. Todd, math and Jr. High coach and Mr. Norvell, band and orchestra one vote apart as Numbers One and Two; and smack on their heels was Mr.. Boles, biology. By subject, math got the most mentions with English a close second. (Isn’t that amazing? Didn’t a lot of us say we hated these subjects then—which must prove some old-fashioned Rule of School.) I was surprised to learn in our book that one friend actually brought an apple every day to a teacher I found dull and pedantic. (I probably made his life miserable, too, although I later majored in his subject, so he obviously knew his stuff.) Wrote one ’58 grad, “The teachers were really great at imparting what they wanted us to learn. I wish some of them were my kids’ teachers.”
What did we do with our working lives? A lot of us became teachers, Fifty years after walking across the stage of MHS (now Rezac) Auditorium, nearly a quarter of those reporting worked or had retired from working in education. The next career grouping included classmates who worked as engineers/scientists/architects/ or in computers (or retired) and then those in business (including both owners and office employees.) A distant third clustering contained careers in government, medicine/mental health, skilled craftsmen, journalism/publishing and real estate. Military careers, musicians, chef/food industry, accountants, law, and airline pilot sum up the categories I chose. These categories are not mutually exclusive. Several retired from a first job to start a second career.
Turning 18 for boys in the 50s meant registering with the Draft Board, so duty called one way or the other for many. We had many men and several women who served in the military, covering all the branches among them. Quite a few served in Vietnam but luckily no one died in a war. A number made a career in the Military.
Most of us are active in volunteer work, whether working or retired. Church work, civic activity, school volunteering and hobbies – as one classmate put it, “I think I’m working harder now that I’ve retired – so many projects, so little time.” The hobbies we enjoy range from crafts through computers, but there is one which runs through our 50 Year Memory Book like a superhighway: do we love to travel! There may be a few places in the world one of us hasn’t lived, worked, vacationed, or plan to cruise to – but there aren’t many. Our MHS teachers, and perhaps the international influences of Ft. Riley and Kansas State, truly gave us itchy feet.
Our addresses now are in the U.S. except for a representation in Canada. Over half are in Kansas, with Texas, Colorado, Missouri and California next, followed by 18 other states. We’ve lost the addresses of nine classmates.
Most of us had good times at MHS while a few of us were glad to see the back of it. Many of us had after-school and evening jobs, with a few working so much they had little time for the fun side of school. Family duties called more than one home as well. Almost all of us remembered our MHS years with two things in common: 50s music and “dragging Poyntz.” Most of us will still feel an involuntary twitch of time-machine magic back to our youth when we hear a good Rock and Roll beat. Elvis was our runaway favorite, but like our teachers, no major recording artist or genre of the 40s or 50s, black or white, was left out of our Memory.
We also enjoyed then, and still like today, Broadway musicals, a love we can lay in part at the feet of our MHS teachers. We inaugurated the stage with Brigadoon. There is no denying the growth in the last 50 years in MHS musical drama—not least of which is a color-blind casting that was not available to our classmates.
When we reported to our new MHS, it was a smaller building than it is today (see below) or will be ‘tomorrow’ – but it was wonderful. We had lockers to ourselves for the first time, such privilege. We also had new rules: a closed lunch hour and a dress code! Jeans were outlawed for girls and boys T-shirts had to be tucked in. “Siberia High!” we moaned and pitched our teenaged-outrage …to absolutely no effect. Many liked the home-cooked, pre-pizza food; others never touched it.
In the 50 years since we left MHS, we’ve lost 27 classmates. For those of us who are able, we look forward to our next reunion. My classmates now are the only people who can look at me and see the kid under the grey hair who really was pretty obnoxious in that math class so long ago. I’m sorry I was, but I’m happy they can still see her.
Thank you to the Riley County Historical Museum for help with photos; some came from Blue Ms not in the MHSAA Museum. | <urn:uuid:d5a7c27e-7983-4210-b56e-f514024b2806> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://mhsalumniassociation.org/history/the-first-class-50-years-later/ | 2017-05-24T07:52:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607806.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524074252-20170524094252-00338.warc.gz | en | 0.983197 | 1,411 | [

Wheat berries might be my favorite new food. There is only so much quinoa and oatmeal a girl can eat. We found this amazing recipe from our new friend Jeanine over at Love and Lemons. We hope to share many more in the near future.
Rainbow chard and wheat berry salad Serves two Ingredients Small drizzle olive oil 1/4 cup chopped scallions, (the white parts) 1 bunch chard, chopped, coarse stems removed* mustard oil (see below) 1/2 cup cooked wheat berries (or quinoa, farro, etc) 1/2 avocado, chopped, w/ a squeeze of lemon a few sliced radishes optional: poached eggs optional: toasted & chopped almonds
- Cook your wheat berries by soaking them overnight. Drain, rinse, then simmer in a pot full of lightly salted water for 45 to 60 minutes until they're soft yet chewy. Drain again. 1 cup of dry wheat berries makes about 2 cups cooked wheat berries. You can store any extra in the fridge for up to a week.
- To poach your eggs, crack room temperature eggs separately in tiny bowls and have them ready. Heat water in a medium pot until just below boiling (to the point where you see tiny bubbles on the bottom and sides of the pan). Add a good splash of white wine vinegar, then swirl the water. Drop 1 egg in. Gently move the water to ensure it's not sticking to the bottom of the pan. Don't touch it for about 3 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to scoop it out. (I prefer to do 1 egg at a time, but you can do 2 if you're a pro).
- Mix together your mustard oil and set aside with your cooked wheat berries and poached eggs.
- In a medium skillet, heat a small drizzle of olive oil. Add the chopped scallions and cook for a minute or so.
- Add the chard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use tongs to move the chard in the pan so that the uncooked parts start to wilt. Add 1/2 of the mustard oil and stir the chard to lightly coat. Remove chard from the pan just before it's completely wilted. (It'll continue cooking a bit and you don't want it to become soggy).
- Plate the wheat berries with the chard, avocado, radish slices and poached eggs. Sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper and drizzle on the rest of the mustard oil. Top with toasted almonds (not pictured, but delicious). | <urn:uuid:efb5b9c8-b52c-4fc6-ada9-e6d494b1d5ab> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.trailerboutique.com/blogs/archive/rainbow-chard-and-wheat-berry-salad | 2017-05-24T07:57:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607806.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524074252-20170524094252-00338.warc.gz | en | 0.925198 | 544 | [

The first Creative Lenses Forum will bring together 100 thinkers and managers from arts and cultural organisations, academia and business in London on 13 October 2016, to explore business models in independent arts venues and performing arts organisations.
Creative Lenses is a 4-year European funded project that sets to research and enable business model innovation of cultural and arts organisations. It aims to develop their innovation capacities without compromising their artistic integrity. The initiators of this project are, 2 academic institutions, University of the Arts London and University of Basilicata, as well as Trans Europe Halles (the) and the International Performing Arts Network(IETM) representing the wider independent arts sector complementing arts institutions and creative incubators based in 11 European countries.
The Creative Lenses Forum will be an opportunity to hear from experts whom will provide inspiration for independent art spaces nurturing understanding of business innovation. Keynotes and workshops will focus on digital cultural entrepreneurship, social innovation, IP/copyright and engage with tools like the business model canvas challenging art managers to experiment beyond their usual working practices.
The recently published IETM toolkit introduces business model innovation to the cultural and the arts sector and elaborates on definitions, strategies and tools of business models. The author of the report Jose Luis Rodriguez, TEH Communications Director, has also developed a business model canvas specifically fit for arts and cultural organisations.
…every organisation that delivers value has a business model, whether it is explicit or not. What a business model essentially does is to turn ideas into money or other types of value for the organisation so it can continue its activity.
Much of these needed discussions informing the sector about innovative engagement with business models will take place at the Creative Lenses Forum.
The report on recent business model innovation in the UK performing arts organisations by the University of the Arts London has identified that organisations are still pursuing greater income diversification and cost reduction through a combination of traditional revenue sources. These are innovative practices based on collaboration, new commissioning models or the development of new products and services, fundraising and audience expansion. Digital tools present a huge potential, although the sector is still testing these digital tools and the use of digital data. More experimentation and more investment will be needed to identify and spread effective strategies and develop capabilities for their implementation.
Public funding enables such experimentation to be tested, but the resources are rapidly decreasing. In this light, it becomes important to understand how dependencies on traditional funders can be diminished by clever and bespoke models of financial autonomy that would enable resilience, community engagement and sustainability within arts and cultural organisations.
As in most European cities, also in London, art venues and independent spaces are often disappearing, because of capital investment within redevelopment projects in the city, following the usual gentrification pattern. As rents are increasing, often the only survival strategies remain centered on commercial revenues, that can sometimes jeopardize the very existence of artistic communities in the city.
Findings based on a TEH research in 2015 from a survey of 47 independent centres in 27 European countries shows that organisations still struggle to understand the basics of business models in the arts sector and that these are often inadequate. The Creative Lenses Forum will inform the sector opening up discussions on innovative propositions from experts and up-to date experiences from the arts and cultural field.

An Eco house is design in a way that energy and waste will be reduced. It reduces the negative impact on our health and environment that buildings and factories from the cities produced; only it has better construction, design and maintenance. It is built with natural environment. And the construction and design is done in harmony. According to some scientist, factories and buildings are the most polluters on the earth. Producing an Eco house may help lower the damaging polluters in our health and environment. You can call an Eco house a successful one if it is a healthier place to live and lower costs. Eco Architecture is living in peace with nature. It helps keep a green lifestyle and environmentally healthy in our society. The choice of materials and ground locations are very important in Eco architecture. To understand more of this, we must first define what Eco architecture means. It is to update or build and building that will have a few negative impacts in our environment. In many cases, it will make use of solar power for water services. Most of the eco architects will choose the areas that are far away from the city and close to wildlife.
One example of Eco-Architecture is the “Open Roof House.” This house is designed by French architects that have a unique structure that is warm and welcoming. It is made of timber and done only in two weeks. The windows and the open roof will help the natural sun light to heat the place during winter season. And during summer, it is the best place to enjoy outdoor activities. It is also the best place for nature lovers. The rooftop is probably the best asset in this house; which has the unfinished yet framed roof that enhances the outdoor aura and also the rain water takes care of the plants in the garden.
You see what nature has provided us. We need to live a more sustainable and healthier quality of life. Mother earth provides us with the abundance of wonderful materials of nature and all we have to do is to use it right. Adapting an Eco Architecture is both simple and effective. It works best in nature. For you to have a eco house, that process is done by learning the basics of green architecture. When you know the friendly materials and on how to use them, then you will be helping the environment to minimize the negative effects of factories and buildings and have a friendly impact on our environment. | <urn:uuid:70d4023b-5c64-4de9-af60-d86d9342a6f5> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.viahouse.com/2012/08/eco-architecture-what-is-this/ | 2017-05-25T08:50:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608058.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525083009-20170525103009-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.961166 | 475 | [

Greetings and welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, the blog hop where a bunch of really awesome writers share from their published work or works-in-progress. I’ve started out the new year sharing from my new project, Death by Starlight, the sequel to Betwixt and Between. I’ve jumped ahead a little from last week, but we’re still in Zeke’s POV. He’s recently returned from the dark realm to the realm of humans, and needs a little assistance in ditching the magical creatures who might be following him.
Alistair lived on a thirty-foot sailboat that looked about as seaworthy as an old shoe. Next to the charming, lovingly maintained houseboats berthed alongside it, Alistair’s boat faded like an oil spill on the water; rolled sails dingy, hull crusted with barnacles, portholes obscured with mysterious netting. Much of Alistair’s magic went toward keeping his boat unnoticed and undisturbed amongst his gentrified neighbors. He was an expert at hiding in plain sight, and that’s what Zeke need now.
Alistair’s boat bobbed at end of the line. The shaman had somehow motored his dilapidated boat to this place after discovering the space beneath the bridge concealed a portal through which magic flowed. This was where Zeke and Ian, with the help of Ian’s friends, had finally defeated the dark queen Ysolde.
Zeke hopped easily onto the deck of Alistair’s boat without causing any disturbance in its subdued rocking motion. He carefully stepped through piles of junk to the little door closing off the main cabin. Brushing aside a sturdy but simple guarding spell, he opened the door and descended the few steps to the cramped quarters below deck.
I know I promised a blurb from Death by Starlight, but it hasn’t happened yet. In my other life, I’m a bookkeeper, and January BITES. So instead, here’s the scoop on the first book in the Edge of Night series, Betwixt and Between:
Obsessed with magical creatures since childhood, tabloid reporter Ian Evers never experiences satisfying proof that the magical realm actually exists until he falls into an entrapment spell set by a handsome but dangerous elf. Barely escaping with his soul intact, Ian is able to undo the hex, but he can’t escape the very real infatuation he’s developed for the fierce elf.
Ezekiel Stormshadow is a svarta, a dark elf who serves the queen of the dark realm. The realm of darkness needs the power of light to survive, and while hunting the last few magical beings on earth, Ezekiel discovers Ian, a light elf who’s unaware of his true nature and ripe for the plucking. Their brief encounter awakens a great hunger in Ezekiel, and he’s determined to feast on the light elf’s power and body before the queen intervenes and claims Ian for herself.
Driven apart by the ancient imbalance between the dark and light realms, an evil queen starved for power, and their fear of each other, Ian and Ezekiel are relentlessly drawn together even though their union might destroy them both.
This post is part of an ongoing blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. Every Sunday, participating authors post eight to ten sentences from a published work or perhaps their current work in progress. Then we hop to our fellow warriors’ blogs and check out all the fabulous fiction that’s happening! I heartily invite you to participate as a reader, writer, or both. It’s a great way to discover your next favorite book.

Sodium is a chemical that our body requires for a proper cellular function in the system. It helps to maintain the fluid balance in the body. Sodium is required for the transmission of nerve impulses that happen in the body.
However, excessive sodium consumption can lead to kidney stones, renal failure, cancer, dehydration, respiratory problems, weight gain, high blood pressure and a poor bone development.
Our body uses sodium to control blood pressure and blood volume. Our body requires sodium for muscles and nerves to function properly. Sodium aids in a cellular communication by transporting the molecules in the body.
Therefore, it is necessary for the cellular function and is also vital for human survival. It helps to absorb nutrients from the digestive tract. A reduced sodium intake can lead to many health issues.
On an average, one should consume about 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. Sodium occurs naturally in foods such as milk, beets, celery and water. Apart from this, there are other good sources of sodium. In this article, we at Boldsky are listing out some of the best sources of sodium. Read on to know more about it.
Sea Food: Sodium is necessary to maintain the blood pressure and to regulate blood volume. Sea food is one of the best source of sodium. Some of the good sea foods that are good sources of sodium include cod, shrimps, crabs, mussels, octopus, lobsters and oysters.
Spices: Few spices such as mustard, chili powder, cloves, cumin, pepper, saffron, curry powder and onion powder also contain sodium. Including them in the daily diet can provide the required amount of sodium to the body.
Fruits: Fruits are another great source of sodium. They contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and sodium that are useful to the human body. Some of the sodium-rich fruits include olives, dried figs, watermelon, plums, grapes, banana and pineapple.
Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a liquid that comes from the grated coconut. Coconut milk contains fat, protein, carbohydrates and sodium. It is one of the major sources of sodium. Including coconut milk in the diet provides the required amount of sodium on a daily basis.
Salt: Sodium is essential to perform certain chemical functions in the body. The amount of salt consumed is directly related to the amount of sodium. Salt contains both sodium and chloride. Consuming limited amount of salt is beneficial to carry out the psychological functions of the body. | <urn:uuid:b1f468bd-74b2-430c-b898-579f18edf96d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.boldsky.com/health/wellness/2016/sodium-rich-foods-to-include-in-diet-097404.html | 2017-05-26T09:27:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608652.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20170526090406-20170526110406-00105.warc.gz | en | 0.913458 | 513 | [

Lahore, Jan.14 (ANI): The Lahore High Court (LHC) has issued notices to the interior secretary, the attorney general of Pakistan and the Punjab advocate general on a petition moved by Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the alleged mastermind of the Mumbai attacks.
Lakhvi's counsel had moved a petition in the LHC seeking the transfer of his trial from the anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi to Lahore.
In his petition, Lakhvi's counsel, Khawaja Sultan, said his life is at risk from the personnel of Indian secret agencies, who were 'roaming around the capital'.
It is possible that Indian agencies' personnel might target me for pursuing Lakhvi's case, the petition stated.
Sultan said Lahore was a safer place than Islamabad as there were not many Indian 'spies' there, The Daily Times reports.

Another weekend, another snow storm! Let’s celebrate the lovely season that is winter with some local news on our favourite beverage…
• Big Spruce recently announced that they have received a bottling machine, and will begin releasing some special beers this way. Their first bottled offering will be a barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout, Ra Ra Rasputin. This beer started out as an 8.5% Imperial Stout, brewed with loads of black and dark malts, and kicked up with Just Us! organic coffee in the boil to lend some bitterness and roast aroma to the beer. After fermentation, the beer spent two months in 14-year Single Malt Glenora barrels. The finished brew is 10.5% ABV, with some lovely caramel and vanilla notes. Due to the low volume available, it is in very short supply; there are only four kegs of the beer available (one of which will be heading to Battery Park shortly), so be sure to grab a glass if you spot it. For those interested in buying bottles, they will only be available for purchase at the Nyanza brewery, beginning late next week, so keep an eye on social media for the official announcement.
• In other Big Spruce news, Bishop’s Cellar in Halifax will be dedicating all five of their growler taps to them this weekend. Beers pouring will include Kitchen Party Pale Ale, Cereal Killer Oatmeal Stout, Read Between the Pines, and two surprise beers rotating through (sorry, we can’t tell you what they are!). There will be two free tasting sessions (Saturday 11 am-4 pm, Sunday 12-5 pm) with Big Spruce owner/brewmaster Jeremy White; remember to bring your empty growlers! Bishop’s is also holding a separate tasting event tonight from 5-7 pm; the $20 ticket price (available for purchase online) includes samples of a variety of beers on their shelves, along with several appetizers. And be sure to sign up for BC’s Behind the Tap beer-centric monthly mailing, for the scoop on sales and events.
• After having their beer on sale at the ANBL and on tap around town for a few weeks, Fredericton’s Maybee Brewing location will be officially opening their doors today at noon. Growler fills and cans of their Roseway Red and Work Horse IPA will be available, as well as a limited amount of their newest release, Belgian Tripel, an 8.5% ABV Belgian Golden Strong. Drop by their 559 Wilsey Road location for a sample (they are not yet licensed for pint sales) and fill up on their offerings; they’ll be open 12-8 pm both today and tomorrow. Congratulations to the entire Maybee family!
• The “Nut Red Ale” brewed by Hammond River last month is now at select accounts in New Brunswick. Nut Your Everyday Red Ale was brewed with a good portion of specialty malts, to give the beer lots of “toasty, biscuity, and nuttiness both in the flavour and on the nose”, according to the brewery. It was bittered with the Nugget variety, and further hopped throughout the boil with Hallertau. Think of it as an easy-drinking (5.1% ABV, 33 IBUs) English-style Red Ale; sounds like this one may become a regular brew for HR!
• In more HRBrew news, their Imperial Breakfast Stout is currently in the wild in the River Valley: Barrel’s Head, Bourbon Quarter, and the James Joyce in Fredericton. It’s an 8.0% ABV Imperial Stout, with additions of oats, local coffee from Java Moose, cacao nibs, and home-smoked (Applewood) bacon. Look for a special oaked version of the IBS to be pouring at the evening session of the Fredericton Craft Beer Fest. And the winners from last month’s Wee Heavy Homebrew Competition will be brewing up their winning recipe, Tilted Kilt, on the weekend, which should be making its debut at the FCBF.
• Railcar brewed a new beer this week, their first Red IPA. The grist is made up of several specialty malts (including Crystal 40 and 60 L, Munich, and Chocolate) to go along with the Pale base malt, to provide notes of toffee sweetness and caramel. Hopped in the boil with Northern Brewer and Columbus, the beer will be dry-hopped with Amarillo after fermentation is complete. This amber-coloured ale should come on the higher end of the spectrum for this style, at ~8.5% ABV, and with 62 IBUs. Look for it to show up on tap at the brewery within a few weeks. Also, Fredericton’s Prospect St. ANBL will be launching Railcar’s Artisan Brown Ale in bottles tomorrow, where it will join their previously released Cafe Buzz Porter. The brewery has also announced another expansion, as they will be receiving two additional 50-gallon fermentors within the next two weeks.
• Good Robot has just released a new beer, a Smoked Ale named Samsquamptch!. At 5.2% ABV and 27 IBUs, the beer features a healthy dose of Cherrywood-Smoked Malt (about 15% of the grain bill), Rye, Caramel and Vienna on a 2-Row base, for a smokey and spicy brew; it was bittered with German Magnum and Tettnang hops. As with most of their beers, it has been gluten reduced to less than 20 ppm. Never ones to hold back from a good idea gone bad, they attempted to reproduce the same effect by smoking hops. As in, pipe smoking hops… Exploiting the quasi-relationship between hops and Cannabis, which are both members of the Cannabinaceae family. Rumoured to share the relaxing properties of Cannabis when smoked, hops do lack the “psychoactive properties” of the drug. You’ll have to watch the video for yourself! As for the beer, it is on tap at the brewery for growler fills, and their adjacent taproom.
• On February 12th, the Good Robot taproom is hosting a New York City food and beer day. Starting at noon, they are hosting Rinaldo’s Italian American Specialties for some NY-style sandwiches. In addition to their own taps, they will be pouring bottles of several Brooklyn Brewery beers, including the perennial favourite Lager, as well as Black Chocolate Stout, Local 1, and Sorachi Ace. Grab a lean at the bar, lower (or increase, depending) your expectations for politeness, and bend an elbow or two. More details here.
• Next Monday, Feb. 8th, Picaroons will be re-releasing their Afterglow Aphrodisiac Ale. A dark, full-bodied beer featuring the addition of chocolate, cayenne pepper, ginseng root and liquorice root, it’s released every year just in time for Valentine’s Day. It will be on tap at the Brewtique, and at better beer bars across New Brunswick. They’re also holding a Winter Warmer Party tomorrow at Crabbe Mountain, where all of their taps will be pouring Picaroons beers, with live music from The Backyard Devils. Finally, the brewery has announced that they’re now hiring for their Picaroons General Store, to open in Saint John. If you’re interested, fire them an email.
• With the explosion in the number of craft breweries in New Brunswick over the last couple of years, it’s no surprise that there’s a documentary currently being filmed on the subject. Produced by Shauna Chase and Alex Vietinghoff, Beerocracy will examine the current craft beer surge in the province through interviews with both brewers and beer event organizers alike. Filming is currently underway (Chase and Vietinghoff have been in Fredericton for interviews with the Fredericton Craft Beer Festival‘s Lloyd Chambers and Grimross‘ Stephen Dixon), with a projected completion sometime this Spring. You can follow their progress through their Facebook link above; more news to come!
• Upstreet Brewing will be holding a special event Feb 14th, For the Love of Beer. This Valentine’s Day event will feature a brand new beer release, a Scottish 80/ (aka Scottish Export) named Eighty Bob. An amber-coloured beer that is definitely on the malty side of the spectrum, Upstreet’s take involves a grist made up of Pale Ale malt as the base, with a mixture of Crystal malts and Chocolate malt. Phoenix and EKG hops were used in small amounts to keep the bittering low (20 IBUs) and add just a touch of flavour to the malt character. According to the brewery, the beer has “toffee, caramel, raisins, and a little bit of nuts”, just as a complexly malty brew should! It weighs in at an easy-drinking 4.5% ABV. The launch event, held from 12-4 pm at the brewery, will feature a special brunch menu, live music from Salt Licks, and a special open mic with brewer Mike Hogan, who will be on hand to successfully (?) answer all of your relationship questions! Disclaimer: BYO Divorce Attorney.
• Dartmouth’s Battery Park will also be holding their own Valentine’s Day event. A four course prix-fixe menu (with optional beer pairings) will be on that evening, featuring ceviche, pork loin or lobster bisque, oxtail roulade or seared local halibut, plus gingerbread with spent grain ice cream. Seating is by reservation only (either by phone or email). Full details here. And on the Friday before (Feb 12), they are one of the stops on a Downtown Dartmouth Food Crawl, featuring 15 stops. Running 5-7 pm, people can visit as many of the cafes, restaurants, and bars as they wish, enjoying some locally-sourced and -prepared food and drink. Details are available on their Facebook page.
• Attention readers in the GTA: Thanks to a recent visit from Brewmaster Greg Nash, Bar Volo’s taps will soon be pouring Unfiltered beer! During a recent visit to Toronto, Nash joined together with House Ales brewer Dan Beaudoin, and the rest of the Bar Volo team, to brew a small batch of Twelve Years to Zion DIPA. The beer will be released today at 4pm, so leave work early to get on the good stuff! (We had incorrectly indicated Exile on North Street was being released, apologies for the error)
• The boys at FirkinStein in Mount Pleasant, NS will be releasing their newest beer in the next week. Anchors Aweigh is a big American Pale Ale, very light in colour, and with a nice crisp flavour. Though it weighs in at 8.5% ABV, the hopping is relatively light, with a pleasant Cascade-based citrus aroma shining through. Look for it to be available at their Lunenburg Farmers’ Market stall next week (Thursday the 11th), and for their weekly deliveries, and on tap shortly as well.
• Things are coming along nicely at the Horton Ridge Malt & Grain in the Annapolis Valley. While not quite malting yet, they are getting ever closer to that point, with production launch expected next month. Ahead of that, they have opened up a second round of CEDIF offering, after a very successful first round of almost $400,000 raised in 2015. The goal of round two is $200,000, with the funds planned to be used to pay down the mortgage on the building. Potential investors are welcome to visit the Malt House Feb 13 for an Open House to learn more about the CEDIF offering, and check out the great progress made so far. By investing in a Community Economic Development Investment Fund (CEDIF), residents may be entitled to an initial 35% Provincial tax credit, in addition to other benefits going forward.
• Another CEDIF offering currently open is from FarmWorks Investment Co-op. They have enabled at least three local microbreweries (Big Spruce, Boxing Rock, and Meander River) and the list of farmers, food producers, restaurants and others keeps growing. In loaning startup funds since its creation in 2011, it currently has over $1 million at work around the province, investing in food production and distribution to increase access to sustainable food. Deadline for investments with this offering is March 15, 2016 and this can be used for RRSP tax deferral.
• Propeller Brewing is releasing their newest One Hit Wonder today. Black Heart is a 6.3% ABV Black IPA, heartily hopped to 90 IBUs. It is on tap now at their Windmill location, Gottingen later today. As always, their OHW releases are growlers and draft only, due to the smaller batch sizes. They have also announced details on their next Cask Night: it will be held on Friday, Feb 26th at 6 pm at the brewery on Gottingen St., and will feature a food “mash-up” from The Other Bean and Rinaldo’s to pair with the multiple beer samples. Tickets are $30, and available now at the link above.
Have a great weekend! Before you move on, here’s a few last blurbs/reminders…
– Bad Apple Brewhouse has released Alternate Ending, a 4.8% ABV Altbier. Brewed with Mike Orr and Keith Forbes, two members of the Brewnosers Homebrew club, it is currently available at the Somerset brewery, as well as on tap at Good Robot’s taproom, Primal Kitchen, and Stillwell (including a special cask). This is a small batch, so be sure to grab it when you spot it on tap!
– Boxing Rock has re-released Unobtainium, a beer best-described as a 5% ABV Red IPA featuring Simcoe, Centennial, Amarillo, and Nelson Sauvin (for more info on the beer, click here).
– The Maritime Black IPA, Grimross’s newest beer that we just mentioned last week, is now available. Drop by the brewery for growler fills, and check out their regular accounts to try it by the pint.
– Look out for a new beer from Schoolhouse in Falmouth, their first Lager. An experiment of sorts, they wanted to do a small test batch to test the recipe and technique, before brewing it on their expanded brewhouse later in the year. Look for it on tap at the Spitfire Arms, as well as their Wolfville Farmers’ Market stall Saturday.
– This week’s limited 7th Wave release from Spindrift will feature a cask of The Fix, which is their Schwarzbier (The Abyss) cold-conditioned on Espresso and vanilla beans (4.2% ABV, 25 IBUs); as always, this is a small batch, growler only beer, available today at the brewery at noon.
– Tatamagouche’s Oyster Cloister Stout has returned. A 5.3% stout, brewed with local hops and oysters for a bit of a subtle character. It is on tap at the store right now for growler fills, and will be returning in cans very shortly. | <urn:uuid:41616d70-a40a-4e28-b9cf-60a5a59096b9> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://acbeerblog.ca/2016/02/05/friday-wrap-up-20160205/ | 2017-05-27T13:58:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608954.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527133144-20170527153144-00425.warc.gz | en | 0.951115 | 3,235 | [

Here's a Christmas sharing from Manuel, a Lexuality reader:
I'm very much impressed with your yuletide tasks with the singaporean. It reminds me of what i did. I think if it not with you, lex, no spirit of the season will occur. It's a fulfillment.
I am an educator, living alone, my family resides abroad. I have less than twenty lovers, or bf's, or whatever they call it.
Everyone's important to me. And during this Xmas, pinili ko ang pinakamahirap, five in all. Namalengke kami ng pang noche buena nila, amounting to 500.00 each. Pansit, spaghetti, loaf of bread, chicken wings and evrything that completes the menu. Napakasimple, pero yon pala ay napakahalaga na sa kanila. Proper scheduling ang ginawa. Pagod. pero napasaya ko sila.
Lex yon pala ang Christmas, its not the material things, but the feeling of ewan ko ba. Napakasaya.
Thank you for sharing. Mabuhay ka and all the other generous gay men out there. Happy New Year to you!

The Dream Boys is a strip bar situated along Aurora blvd. in Cubao beside the Betty Go Belmonte station of the LRT2 line. The place is cramped and their makeshift stage is covered with magazine collage.
The performers I saw were mostly young without any evident of gym workout in their bodies. Probably because we went on a Christmas day so most of their performers are on leave. I was surprised that their rates are more expensive than the better looking strip bars (gay bars) around the Metro.
We were charged with a Php200 entrance fee. And we were required to purchase a double drink on our first order (another Php200 for the 2 drinks). These payment requirements are pricier compared to the more notable bars I have been to - Valentino (Malate), Planet Xanadu (now in Quzon city) and Adonis.
Their performers are aggressive. They routinely go around and shove their merchandise on the patrons in echange of a tip (sige na, kahit pamasahe lang, malayo pa uuwian ko, sa Bulacan). I was a bit irritated with the uninspired transexual performers go around demanding for a tip from everyone (aggressively yelling Merry Christmas to eveyone).
When a good looking performer approached me to touch his merchandise, I willingly gave him a tip. But when a not-so-good-looking performer came up to me, asking me to play with his erect toy, I apologized and declined. He was pushy and was not willing to take a no from me. So I told him bluntly, he is not my type. He angrily banged the tissue holder on the table next to me.
Let's just say the Dream Boys is not exactly a "dream place" for me.

It was my first time to visit the "iconic" strip bar (gay bar) Adonis along Timog ave., in front of the GMA building.
I always had the impression that Adonis is an "expensive" bar so my expectations were quite high only to find out that I have been to better looking bars than this. There was no entrance fee. But the mandatory first drink costs almost Php300 for men and almost Php400 for women (thank God!). Succeeding drinks cost about a hundred pesos.
There were only a few boys performing perhaps beause most of them are on Christmas holidays with their families.
The bar is plain looking. But several of the boys I chanced upon were impressively built -- really buff with less than five percent of body fat! And such bodies are quite rare among the strip bars here in Manila.

Lexuality reader and my dear friend from Singapore, Mr. D is back in Manila to treat himself to the Filipino Hunk's "warmth and hospitality".
Strip bars (gay bars) and trysts with rent boys are definitely on his holiday plans. But yesterday, I brought him to a place that a typical Singaporean could never imagine -- a dirty, third run cinema full of rent boys and gay sex!
Armed with bottles of water, disinfectant, a roll of tissue and a towel, we both went to one of the rougher sides of Manila, the Recto area and visited one of its old cinema houses. For a Php60 ticket each, we were welcomed to a dark, hot and smoke-filled cinema where boys roam around in search for quick sex.
Mr. D met a rent boy he fancied. "Services" inside ranged around Php200. They found a seat and started their business deal. But Mr. D got uncomfortable with on-lookers so he decided to take the rent boy out. Off to Sogo motel and the rates went up to Php500. My foreign friend was so impressed with the nearby Sogo motel, that he even joked he can stay here in his next visit to Manila instead of paying for his pricey Hyatt suite.
We ended our day with Mr. D treating a few service boys to a warm dinner, a very nice way to celebrate this Christmas season.

The certified hit independent film "Ang Laro ng Buhay ni Juan", which had one month of theatrical run, is out on DVD on December 21. Helmed by Joselito Altarejos, known for his ground breaking gay films, the DVD version has looooonger sensitive scenes which are surprisingly approved by the MTRCB!
Thank you Censors for giving us a Mery Christmas!
P.S. Please buy original DVD's
For the past few years, the tower of the Quezon City Circle has been a silent witness to the countless intimate encounters among Filipino men who are into cruising and gay sex. The park around the tower has been a fertile hunting ground for horny men - single, married, rent boys, bisexuals, gays and what have you.
But the park now, has been infused with millions of funds courtesy of the local city government. And with a new administrator, lights are now installed around the area. And they're no ordinary lights, they are colorful, dramatically changing it's hues every few beats of seconds.
But despite the stylish illumination, gay men still hang around the tower. But they no longer cruise like what they did before.
Instead, they now hold "evening gown competition" -- where everyone marches around pretending to be a Miss Universe contestant, amidst the play of lights around them.
Yes, there is no way you can remove the "gayness" out of this "circle".

I think Efren Penaflorida, the Filipino pushcart educator, named as CNN Hero of the year is really inspiring. His efforts to bring education to the poorest of children is worth the honor.
Now, I asky myself, how do I make a difference, lexuality style?
Here's my concept. I will build an informal training school for unemployed young men. Under my supervision, I will create a curriculum to teach these young men how to make Filipino gay men happy -- good massage, carry a decent conversation, be courteous and provide unforgettable bedroom service!
The school will also teach them proper grooming and train them with with physical fitness.
Such project will definitely generate income for these young men enough to get them out of the institutionalized system of poverty.
I just hope CNN will take notice of these efforts when I begin this project! Hehehe!

During the Manila Pride March 2009, a protestant lady haughtily displays her belief that homosexuality is a sin. What I failed to tell that wearing her long skirt together with her orange backpack is a graver sin
May God have mercy on you, dear lady!

Gaydars are accurate, acording to the findings of a latest study from Tufts University. Michelle Garcia writes for Advocate.com:
Study: Accurate Gaydar Is Nearly Instant
A new study by Tufts University shows that people can identify others' sexual orientation after looking at them for just seconds.
According to ScienceBlogs.com, researchers Nalini Ambady and Nick Rule used college students in a test to accurately identify gay men based on 90 photos from dating websites. None of the men in the photos — half of whom were seeking male partners, the other half seeking females — had facial hair, jewelry, glasses, or other accessories.
Each photo was shown to 90 student volunteers for either 33 milliseconds, 50 milliseconds, 100 milliseconds, 6.5 seconds, or 10 seconds. With each snapshot, the students were able to identify a subject's sexual orientation with at least 50% accuracy, depending on the amount of time given. The most accurate time sequence was 50 milliseconds, with 62% projecting correctly. However, when students took their own amount of time to weigh the photos, the accuracy rate rose to 70%.
In an adjacent study, the researchers pulled photos from Facebook profiles of 133 men that were posted from friends or family, therefore being of a more neutral nature. In that trial, the accuracy rate was 54%, at 50 millisecond intervals.
The study's authors said the reason people may have keen gaydar is so heterosexual women can find a suitable mate and so that men can easily identify their competition.

In the last Pride March, a Christian fundamentalist brought a large illustration of hell and yelled at us, gays and lesbians that we are all going to this dreaded place.
With all his rage against us, this man is surely living in his personal hell.

Beside my locker was ABS-CBN hunk, Jake Cuenca getting dressed up. Oh I had to take my sweet time pretending to put wax in my hair in front of the mirror as I secretly watched him dress up from his towels to his jeans.
And as Mr. Cuenca left the locker, I went towards the cubicle and saw another hottie guy, senatorial candidate and endorser, Atty. Adel Tamano. Now, this man is one hot guy whether naked or clothed in his sleek Armanis. As I was secretly stealing glances at him, I was thinking, Mr. Tamano is one of those few Filipinos, who can give you the best this life can offer - hot sex and some rare, intelligent conversation.
My dear friend Felbert Go asked me to share to my blog readers his new film about special education and the needs of special children called "SpEd Hearts" starring Ciara Sotto.
Good luck, Felbert on your new film which I know is very close to your heart.

As part of the Pride Celebration, a special pictorials was organized by the Task Force Pride featuring the winners of this year's Mr. Gay World Philippines and some hot masseurs from the "Boys of Bora" Spa. Thank you to Bien Rivera for "allowing" me to steal these photos from his facebook account:

With loud anti-gay protests from Christian fundamentalists, your gay brother and lesbian sisters are not about to play deaf ears on them.
Shouting matches were heard from the marchers and these silly Christians.
A foreign gay man was about to tear down one of the placards of the lady fundamentalist.
One comic gay marcher brought up a sign that says "He's gay" with an arrow pointing to the male Christian protesters.

One of the more noticeable gay groups during the Pride March was "One Bacardi". They are a groupd of young gay men whose affinity was borne out of the now defunct gay social networking, guys4men.
The Bacardi Boys are busy doing outreach program, their last project was a visit to the Golden Gays, a charitable home for aging gay men.
Thank you to Bacardi Boy and Lexuality reader, Magiting for sharing some info on this admirable group of friends.

In the Pride March 2009, I particularly liked the concept of the float of "Boys of Bora" spa, an all-male massage center in Quezon city. They were inside a truck, which are normally used to transport animal meat to slaughter houses.
Choose your meat: Beef, Pork or Hunk?
For many Pride Parade attendees, the event is a great time to showcase one's creativity. Here are some of the memorable attendees in their most interesting costumes:
I just came home from Malate. Today is the biggest Pride March in the Philippines according to the organizers. Having attended the march for the past several years, the attendance from LGBT groups and other civil society groups is very impressive.
Congratulations to the Task Force Pride and and the LGBT community for this record breaking celebration of diversity and equality.
I shall post more photos from the event in the following days.

My name is Vince Fesalbon. I'm an American-born Filipino filmmaker living in Seattle, USA. I just rented and watched your "Antonio's Secret" feature. I was extremely impressed! Your screenplay is awesome! There is so much depth and intelligence in your indie film. I look forward to seeing your other films, and hope you continue to pursue writing/directing. I would love to see more Filipino films in American indie theatres, especially films of your quality. I'm proud to see some substantive material being produced in the Philippines!
P.S. I have some of my short films on Youtube if you wanna check them out. I don't have my gay feature on the Internet at this time, however, which played at the 2005 Seattle Gay/Lesbian Film Festival.
I am glad to know that you liked the film. I'll be happy to see some of your works especially your gay short films.
There are many other talented writers/ filmmakers that you should try as well. Try to get copies of the works of Aureus Solito, Ronaldo Bertubin and Senedy Que (Dose). I hope you can explore Philippine cinema. We have a lot of cinematic gems in this country.
Unfortunately, I can't be too active in indie cinema since work in this industry isn't exactly financially rewarding.
Hope to hear from you again. | <urn:uuid:5e87b9b7-425f-4767-b425-f2bfc8673099> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://lexuality.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html | 2017-05-27T13:50:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608954.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527133144-20170527153144-00425.warc.gz | en | 0.965193 | 3,186 | [

Britain’s Energy Coast Business Cluster (BECBC) held its AGM at Energus at Lillyhall on Wednesday 5 April and the morning’s programme included the unveiling of a new branding and visual identity for the organisation.
The AGM was attended by over 200 people representing a broad cross section of the organisation’s membership of over 300 companies and organisations. Presentations from two local schools and insights from special guest, John Clarke, former CEO of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, started proceedings, followed by the business of the AGM, the launch of the new branding for BECBC and a member presentation by representatives of lunch sponsors, VINCI Technology Centre.
The meeting got off to an “awesome” start as pupils from Ennerdale & Kinniside Primary and Keswick Schools celebrated their recent successes in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge national competition. Teachers from each school as well as local champion for the scheme, Pete Woolaghan of The REACT Foundation, explained progress and next steps and appealed to BECBC members to get involved and to help reach a target of 100 teams from Cumbrian schools taking part by 2020.
“The success of these teams in the national finals has been amazing,” said Pete Woolaghan, “and we’ve high hopes for success as Ennerdale & Kinniside Primary School take part in the international finals in June. For such a small school to do so well is fantastic and these young people are doing a great job of developing and then showcasing exactly the technical skills and personal abilities that Cumbrian companies are going to need in the future.”
John Clarke, the former CEO of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), then had the tough job of following the young people as guest speaker: “I knew it would be tough,” he said, “and their enthusiasm and confidence is inspiring.” John went on to talk from a personal perspective about his 40 years in the nuclear industry, the challenges and the opportunities facing the decommissioning supply chain and the recent focus and progress at Sellafield Ltd.
“We need to celebrate the successes of recent years at every opportunity,” he said. “Let’s be clear, the amount of radioactive material on the Sellafield site and the legacy of 70 years of disposal have created huge challenges but these are now being addressed and resolved. Our colleagues in the US and elsewhere are happy to push their expertise and how it could be applied in Cumbria but we must remember that the challenges here are bigger. It won’t always follow that what works elsewhere will be relevant here but we can be confident that, if something works at Sellafield, there’s potential for it to work across the world. Companies here need to remember that and sell themselves, their skills and their knowledge in the global decommissioning market.”
Business of the AGM
After the usual networking session and coffee, business resumed in the Auditorium at Energus including a review of the past year from BECBC Chairman, Ivan Baldwin, a summary of the organisation’s financial position by current BECBC Treasurer, Alison Johnston of Dodd & Co Accountants and the election of four Board Directors.
Ivan looked back on a year of increased activity for BECBC in the context of seismic shifts in the world and current affairs. “We reached a milestone in membership last year,” he said, “engaged John Grainger as our Stakeholder Relations Director and had a record number of entries for our Business Awards. Sector Groups have continued to develop their programmes and impact, our workshop programme has grown and we’ve strengthened our links with local MPs, influencers and other organisations that share our aims. Our input to national strategy is being invited and welcomed and we need to be unashamed in promoting the importance of this region in national nuclear and broader industrial strategy.”
After mentioning Hazel Duhy’s ten years of administrative support for the Business Cluster and the commitment of Emma-Jayne Gooch to the Board in recent years, Ivan then handed over to Alison Johnston of Dodds Accountants for the Treasurer’s report.
Alison summarised the current financial position of the organisation, explained the budgeted loss and allocation of reserves and confirmed increased costs due to several factors including the continued high levels of membership, the growth of the workshop programme and the successful BECBC Business Awards dinner.
“Some costs have increased with a bigger membership,” she said, “but, overall, we are in a healthy position with an operating loss below the level planned and budgeted. The task ahead is to ensure that the membership levels are sustainable with all sorts of businesses and organisations deriving as much value as possible from their membership of BECBC.”
The final element of the AGM was the election of four Board Directors. Three Directors were standing for re-election after completing their three-year terms, Ivan Baldwin of Carr’s Engineering, Alison Johnston of Dodd & Co Accountants and Liz Bowe of PacTec EPS Ltd, and Emma-Jayne Gooch had stood down from her Board role as her term concluded. Five new candidates also stood for election: Richard Arnott of RSM UK, Siân Beaty of High Moorside Consulting Ltd, Jon Downie of Assystem, Michelle Edmondson of Sellafield Ltd and Joanne Stronach of Burnetts Solicitors.
After a carefully monitored count of members’ votes, Tom Scaife of Baines Wilson LLP and a member of the BECBC management team confirmed Ivan, Liz, Alison and Siân Beaty as Board members for the year ahead. Ivan then thanked all those who had stood for election for their willingness to be part of the leadership of BECBC. “It’s an indication of the health of the Business Cluster that so many members are willing to give up their time and energy to contribute to its future. Thank you to everyone who stood for election and I’m looking forward to working with those who’ve been elected today.”
In recent months, member companies and their graphic designers have been submitting ideas for a new logo and branding for BECBC. 3DW Technologies, based in Altrincham but actively involved in the Moorside nuclear new build project, was announced as the winner. Its work was unveiled at the AGM alongside a refreshed web presence, developed and designed by A Digital of Kendal and the first examples of the new branding in place on banners, stationery and presentations.
John Grainger, Stakeholder Relations Director for BECBC, has been a member of the team working on the rebranding project: “We had a good selection of fresh ideas to choose from and I’d like to thank all the member companies that submitted their proposals. I think the new branding, colours and style will give the organisation’s profile a boost and, along with the revised strapline, Cumbrian collaboration with global reach, I think we’re positioning the Business Cluster for exciting years to come.”
Finally, Steve Shanahan and Dr Russell Matthews of the VINCI Technology Centre (sponsors of the day’s networking lunch) explained the work of their team, the VINCI office in Whitehaven and their current projects. The presentation included various case studies and unusual examples of mock ups created by VINCI across the UK and a final video that reinforced the message that the team could build, drop and test just about anything!
The next BECBC members meeting will be held at Energus from 9am on Wednesday 3 May. Further information on membership of BECBC and details of member companies, specialist sector groups and other activities can be found online.

DXM is most notable short for dextromethorphan, an ingredient in the cough syrup NyQuil. According to one report, however, dXM could soon mean the exact opposite: a 500 horsepower, 650 lb-ft BMW 5 Series sedan. With that kind of power, this BMW will jolt its passengers awake with a touch of a pedal.
Reports say that BMW is considering creating a sportier diesel 5 Series with the specs mentioned above. The only diesel models BMW current offers in the U.S. is the 335d and X5 xDrive35d – which are both powered by the same engine, receiving 265 horsepower. Reports claim that we can expect double that horsepower from this new diesel sedan.
With 650 lb-ft of torque from the diesel engine, we expect BMW to put that power on the ground thought its xDrive all-wheel drive system. All in all, this model will be fast and efficient.
Currently, BMW is not saying the diesel M5 is official, but has stated that the model is under consideration. | <urn:uuid:bc4697fd-c2d8-4e99-b616-c24b660c3c56> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://chicagobmw.perillobmw.com/64/a-possible-diesel-bmw-m5-in-the-works/ | 2017-05-28T20:21:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463611560.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528200854-20170528220854-00233.warc.gz | en | 0.957952 | 216 | [

The Test Day And The Day Before.
How do you prepare on the day before the TOEFL
test and what should you take when you are going for
the TOEFL test?
Taking the TOEFL Test is not as difficult as one
would imagine but there is a certain level of
difficulty for students who have not been exposed to
the English language so often.
Since the test is not dependent on the level of the
examinee, it can be a daunting task for candidates
with low proficiency levels in English. In most
cases the non-native speakers of English might find
reading and listening somewhat easy to handle but
when it comes to speaking and writing they get the
jitters as they are not very comfortable speaking or
writing English. But to overcome the hurdles of
discomfort, you as a TOEFL Test taker can take a few
hints from those given below here and prepare for
Preparation is the keyword here as the more you
prepare the more chances of being able to crack the
exam successfully. There are a large number of
online practice papers available on the internet
which is really helpful in guiding you on how to go
about the test. These test papers give you a fairly
good idea on what the test entails and how to
2. Though you need to prepare very well in advance
which is about a couple or more months before the
date of the exam that you plan to write, these
preparations are generally academic in nature. But
the preparation for the test should be on the
previous day or the day just before the test.
3. Stop learning and relax by watching a movie,
preferably an English movie, or meeting up with
family or friends to have a short chat again
preferably in English. In short “Chill Out”!
4. Give your mind and body maximum rest as you need
to be fresh and energetic the next day for your mind
to be activated during the exam. Ensure that you
have eaten food high in nutrition and make sure that
the food you eat helps you to relax and be calm and
5. Maintain a checklist to ensure you don’t forget
any of your documents or stationery. Make sure the
supporting documents that you take are valid. Tick
them out as you place them in your bag and most
importantly make sure that all your pens and pencils
are in working condition.
6. Jot down your registration number, the address of
the center correctly so that no time is wasted on
searching out the location.
7. Finally and most significantly do not take along
with you any personal belongings or valuable. On the
contrary carry a lot of water.

We need to figure out a new way for American society to resolve ambiguous issues — an alternative to federal prosecutors making their bones by tossing individuals in prison via smear techniques designed to inflame rather than enlighten juries.
What prompted me to think about this was the cover story of this Sunday’s New York Times magazine, “When is a Pain Doctor a Drug Pusher?” Author Tina Rosenberg tells two distinct stories here: One is about Dr. Ronald McIver, a physician whose address is now a medium -security prison in Butner, North Carolina. The other is about the never-ending quest people in severe pain go through to find relief, a quest that can inadvertently bring them or their doctors into gray legal areas.
Certainly there are crooked doctors who write fraudulent prescriptions for opiates that drug addicts abuse and drug dealers sell. Nobody objects when prosecutors pursue them. It does not appear to me that Dr. McIver was one of those crooked doctors. As Rosenberg writes,
McIver was a particularly aggressive pain doctor. Pain can be measured only by how patients say they feel: on a scale from 0 to 10, a report of 0 signifies the absence of pain; 10 is unbearable pain. Many pain doctors will try to reduce a patient’s pain to the level of 5. McIver tried for a 2. He prescribed more, and sooner, than most doctors.
Perhaps knowing his intolerance for his patients’ pain, some unscrupulous people posing as patients tricked McIver into giving them drugs illegitimately, which they abused or sold. There’s no evidence McIver ever recognized this or intended to aid them in their criminal schemes. He comes off as a little credulous. But on at least one occasion, his suspicions about a particular patient led him to call the police to ask for background.
Later, of course, prosecutors successfully twisted that call into evidence against him. The logic — very familiar to me now — went like this: You called the cops about this patient. Yes. What happened next? The cop never called me back. What happened next? I assumed the lack of a return call meant my suspicions were unfounded, so I continued to prescribe medicine to this patient. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you see what we have here. Dr. McIver knew there was a problem with this patient. Did he stop giving him dangerous narcotics? No, he just went right on doing it. The fact that the law officer was unable to reach him is irrelevant. By this act, Dr. McIver demonstrated his criminal intent to provide drugs illegally.
Others of his patients were prescribed high doses of powerful opioids. This is not necessarily a sign of abuse. As Rosenberg takes pains to explain, high levels can be safe if the patient’s dosage is increased gradually through a process called “titration to effect.” McIver was one of many pain specialists who believed, it appears compassionately, that this was the correct course for some patients. But prosecutors were able to make the jury quiver, apparently, at the sheer numbers associated with these dosages.
One of McIver’s patients died with high levels of an opioid in his blood. The drugs didn’t kill him — a heart problem did it. But the patient’s death was a good data point in the case the government was able to build against him, a ghost story to frighten jurors.
To find out more about the blow-by-blow of McIver’s outrageous prosecution, please read the story. For the remainder of this post, I want to focus on the bigger picture:
No one has analyzed the various prosecutions of pain doctors, so it is hard to determine how many of them look like McIver’s. The D.E.A.’s list is incomplete. There have been many cases like McIver’s, and most of these cases are not listed on the D.E.A.’s Web site. (One possible reason for this omission is that some of these cases are still being appealed.) And many cases that do appear on the list detail only vague crimes: convictions for prescribing “beyond the bounds of acceptable medical practice” or “dispensing controlled substances . . . with no legitimate medical purpose” — which is how the agency will most likely describe the McIver case if it ever includes the case on the list.
The D.E.A. claims that it is not criminalizing bad medical decisions. For a prosecutable case, Caverly, the D.E.A. officer, told me: “I need there to be no connection of the drug with a legitimate medical condition. I need the doctor to have prescribed the drug in exchange for an illegal drug, or sex, or just sold the prescription or wrote prescriptions for patients they have never seen, or made up a name.”
I read this statement to Jennifer Bolen, a former federal prosecutor in drug-diversion cases who trained other prosecutors and now advises doctors on the law. “That’s a good goal,” she said. “I don’t think they have yet reached that goal.” McIver’s case had no such broken connection, and in many cases the government has not produced testimony of intent to push drugs, providing evidence only of negligence or recklessness. In 2002, Bolen was one of the authors of a Justice Department document intended as part of a basic guide to prosecuting drug-diversion cases. The document, in the form of a reference card, dispenses with any need for a broken connection. It suggests that prosecutors need not prove a doctor had bad motives, that to be within the law a doctor had to prescribe “in strict compliance with generally accepted medical guidelines” and that doing an abbreviated medical history or physical examination is “probative” of lack of a legitimate medical purpose. The reference card was on the Justice Department’s Web site but was pulled, according to the Pain Relief Network, which provided the card to me. Bolen told me: “I have no problem saying that if the card was all there was, it was not acceptable. But it isn’t all there was.” She described the card as one piece of a more thorough training, but added that many prosecutors followed its theories.
Prosecutors are in essence pressing jurors to decide whether an extra 40 milligrams every four hours or a failure to X-ray is enough to send a doctor to prison for the rest of his life. One doctor, Frank Fisher, was arrested on charges that included the death of a patient taking opioids — who died as a passenger in a car accident. A Florida doctor, James Graves, is serving 63 years for charges including manslaughter after four patients overdosed on OxyContin he prescribed — all either crushed and injected their OxyContin or mixed it with alcohol or other drugs. “A lot of doctors are looking for safe harbor,” Caverly said. “They want to know as long as they do A, B, C, D or E, they’re O.K.”
The D.E.A. once thought that this was not an unreasonable desire. A few years ago, it worked with pain doctors to develop a set of frequently asked questions that set out what doctors needed to do to stay within the law. The FAQ recommended, for example, that doctors should do urine tests and discuss a patient’s treatment with family and friends. In October 2004, the FAQ were erased from the agency’s Web site. One reason was that one of their authors, who is a doctor, was about to use the list to testify on behalf of William Hurwitz, a pain doctor in McLean, Va. (Hurwitz was convicted on 50 counts of drug trafficking in 2004. His conviction was overturned, and he was recently retried and convicted on 16 lesser counts. He is awaiting sentencing.)
Caverly acknowledged the Hurwitz trial was one reason the FAQ were pulled, but said there were other reasons. He said such a checkoff list could tie the D.E.A.’s hands. “Some doctor’s going to pull that list of dos or don’ts out and say: ‘See, I’m O.K. I did these 10.’ But there’s a new wrinkle there — an 11th one the doctor didn’t do,” he said. Most important, he went on to say, the FAQ had stepped over the line to insert the D.E.A. into issues of medical practice. “We have to stay in our lane,” he said. “Those definitions are the professional community’s — not the D.E.A.’s.”
In a perfect world, such reasoning would make sense. But the agency is defining issues of medical practice in dramatic fashion — by jailing doctors who step over the line. It would not seem to be bothering, however, to draw the line first.
The dilemma of preventing diversion without discouraging pain care is part of a larger problem: pain is discussed amid a swirl of ignorance and myth. Howard Heit, a pain and addiction specialist in Fairfax, Va., told me: “If we take the fact that 10 percent of the population has the disease of addiction, and if we say that pain is the most common presentation to a doctor’s office, please tell me why the interface of pain and addiction is not part of the core curriculum of health care training in the United States?” Will Rowe, the executive director of the American Pain Foundation, notes that “pain education is still barely on the radar in most medical schools.”
The public also needs education. Misconception reigns: that addiction is inevitable, that pain is harmless, that suffering has redemptive power, that pain medicine is for sissies, that sufferers are just faking. Many law-enforcement officers are as in the dark as the general public. Very few cities and only one state police force have officers who specialize in prescription-drug cases. Charles Cichon, executive director of the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (Naddi), says that Naddi offers just about the only training on prescription drugs and reaches only a small percentage of those who end up investigating diversion. I asked if, absent Naddi training, officers would understand such basics as the whether there is a ceiling dose for opioids. “Probably not,” he said.
There is another factor that might encourage overzealous prosecution: Local police can use these cases to finance further investigations. A doctor’s possessions can be seized as drug profits, and as much as 80 percent can go back to the local police.
I think about people in my family who are, or were, in terrible pain. Or who might be in the future. I think of their doctors, reading about McIver and other doctors similarly persecuted. It was bad enough when doctors’ treatment decisions were based on fear of civil malpractice litigation. But now the federal prosecutors have joined the party, with all their incentives to win cases no matter what, and with punishments at their disposal that can destroy careers, even lives.
It’s one thing for a doctor to wear a brave face and put his or her patient first in the face of potential lawsuits. But prison? The suffering patient will just have to understand.
The criminalization of gray-area medical decisions is the ultimate empowerment of ignorance, fear and innuendo as the driving forces of our civilization. Despite miraculous medical and scientific advances, as long as we give power to prosecutors to go “booga-booga” to juries, some of those advances will be shelved.
There are countless examples of this trend, but this one really turned my stomach.

Prescription opioid pain medications can help you recover from certain surgeries, procedures and accidents with less discomfort, as well as manage pain from diseases like cancer, but there are risks if they are used inappropriately. Every year, more than 16,600 people die from overdoses of opioids (a category of painkillers that includes morphine, hydrocodone and oxycodone). One reason: Opioid prescriptions have gone up 300 percent over the past 10 years, making painkillers like Vicodin® the most commonly prescribed drug category in the United States.
Since opioid pain medications are sometimes a necessary part of the treatment of pain, it’s important to know the safest way to take them. Here are five important points to keep in mind if you are taking opioid containing pain medications to treat pain not associated with cancer:
- Use them for the shortest period of time. By taking prescription opioid pain medications for months or years at a time, you have a higher risk of developing a tolerance to them. As a result, you may need higher doses to lessen your pain. Plus, your risk of becoming addicted to painkillers may go up the longer you take them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently recommended using opioids for three to seven days for acute conditions. If at that point you’re still in pain, talk to your doctor about an alternative treatment plan.
- Don’t take a leftover opioid pain medication from an old prescription. If you tweak your back while doing yardwork, you might be tempted to just use a pill from an old bottle of Vicodin you have in your medicine cabinet. That’s not a smart idea. Just because a certain dose was right for you at one time doesn’t mean it’s the right strength for you right now. All opioid pain medication that is not used should be disposed of safely.
- Do not mix opioid pain medications with alcohol or other drugs. When alcohol and opioid pain medications are mixed, your ability to carry out functions such as driving or using machinery can be seriously impaired, leading to life-threatening situations like drunk driving. Also use of certain medications, like sleeping pills or muscle relaxants, in combination with opioid pain medications can significantly increase your risk of an opioid overdose. Talk with your pharmacist or physician about the safety of combining opioid pain medications with any other drugs.
- Talk to your doctor about other ways to treat your pain if it is long term. There are medications that treat moderate pain that don’t contain opioids. There may also be interventions such as exercise or physical therapy that may address chronic pain issues.
- Be aware of addiction warning signs. It’s important to take your opioid pain medications as your doctor prescribed. If you start increasing your dose without talking to your doctor or start meeting with multiple doctors so that you can get extra opioid prescriptions, you might have a problem. Also keep an eye out for other signs of addiction, like that your painkiller use is causing issues with your family members or affecting your job.
Your doctor and pharmacist are the first people you should talk to about any concerns you have before starting to take prescription opioid pain medications or while on them. For more on the best way to handle different prescriptions, check out these other blogs:

About VA Benefits For Veterans
Disability compensation is a tax-free monthly payment that’s designed to provide benefits for Veterans with reduced earning abilities. These payments are based on injuries or diseases that developed during active military service or were aggravated by time spent in the military. Monthly benefits for Veterans can be as much as several thousand dollars, depending on the degree of the disability, whether the Veteran is married and whether the Veteran has children or living parents.
Several different types of disability benefits are available to provide assistance to Veterans who have served in any branch of the military. We offer experienced and professional assistance to help Veterans obtain benefits for their service-related disabilities, including:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD);
- Traumatic brain injuries; and
- Injuries from chemical exposure such as Agent Orange, nerve gases, mustard gas and toxic chemicals.
Benefits for Veterans Struggling With Unemployment
Some Veterans are eligible to receive increased benefits if they are unable to maintain gainful employment as a result of their service-related disability. Gainful employment is work at which non-disabled individuals earn their livelihood. The VA’s disability compensation program includes this benefit for Veterans who qualify.
You may be eligible to collect compensation at the 100 percent rate if your service-connected disability prevents you from keeping gainful employment and your disability is rated at 60 percent or more.
You also may collect compensation at the 100 percent rate if you have two or more disabilities, with at least one scored at 40 percent or more with a combined disability rating or 70 percent or more.
Under special circumstances, Veterans may receive Individual Unemployability benefits, if their disability rating is less than the threshold. Also, if they have evidence of unusual impairment to their earning capacity such as frequent periods of hospitalization, these Veterans are eligible for this additional benefit.
Survivor Dependency and Indemnity Compensation and Widow’s Pensions
The VA also offers a monthly benefit to eligible survivors, including spouses of certain members of the military service. To qualify for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC), the Veteran’s death must have been related to:
- A disease or injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty while on active duty or active duty for training;
- An injury, heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke incurred or aggravated in the line of duty while on inactive duty for training;
- A service-connected disability or a condition directly related to a service-connected disability.
It is also possible to collect DIC if the Veteran was totally disabled from service-connected conditions when he or she died, even though there was a different cause of death.
The VA also offers pensions to a deceased Veteran’s surviving spouse under certain circumstances. The widow must remain unmarried to receive the pension and demonstrate need. According to the VA, you could qualify for a widow’s pension if:
- The deceased Veteran was discharged from service under other than dishonorable conditions; and
- The deceased Veteran served at least 90 days of active military service and at least one day was during a wartime period. If he or she entered active duty after Sept. 7, 1980, generally he or she must have served at least 24 months or the full period for which called or ordered to active duty and at least one day was during a wartime period. (There are exceptions to this rule.); and
- You are the unmarried surviving spouse who meets the age or disability requirements, of the deceased veteran; and
- Your income for VA purposes is below a yearly limit maximum annual pension rate set by law.

Jessica Alba's Fourth of July weekend celebration was all about family fun. As she headed to the beach to celebrate Independence Day, InStyle's July covergirl gave fans a glimpse into her holiday festivities.
In one sweet photo, her daughters Honor, 8, and Haven, 4, stand on the shore in their bathing suits and look out into the ocean, with a picturesque view in the foreground. "Weekend vibes," the Honest Company co-founder captioned the shot.
Alba went on to share a Snapchat clip of her daughters hitting splits and cartwheels on the shore as well, and included a couple of snaps of her dad, Mark Alba, snoring in a comfy armchair once they made their way inside. "We should wake him up," the actress says with a giggle as she lounges next to her husband, Cash Warren.
Before the holiday came to an end, Jessica made sure to commemorate their family bonding time with a photo of herself posing with her pop and her girls. "Had an awesome weekend w the fam bam #happy4thofjuly we #bbq n watched fireworks w my papasito @markdalba photo cred @cash_warren," she captioned the photo. In it, Jessica rocks a bandana tied around her head, along with a casual top and jeans. Meanwhile, Honor snuggles up beside her, while Mark holds a smiley Haven in his arms.
Talk about a picture-perfect holiday celebration. | <urn:uuid:695a25ab-15e7-4ec6-b9f7-59562beadfc8> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/celebrity-moms/jessica-alba-wraps-july-4th-weekend-sweet-family-snap | 2017-05-23T11:37:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607620.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523103136-20170523123136-00367.warc.gz | en | 0.976014 | 310 | [

Hope all you Moms got pampered with breakfast in bed, spa days, flowers, chocolates, nice dinners, gifts, etc. for all the hard work you do all year round!
I am finally over the worst cold ever! I lost my entire spring break laying around being ill and I have had bronchitis every since (no fun!). But hey, that didn't stop from being in the news again. This time I'm in the San Jose Mercury about losing my current teaching job (getting pink slip'ed) due to an $11 million cut in my school district's budget (East Side Union High School District): Mercury Archives
But back here at the vineyard, since we live in a grassland/oak forest area with a lot of housing in and around, we have to be concerned with fire safety. Remember the Oakland Hills Fire back in 1991, which killed 25 people & injured 150 others. Over 3,350 homes burned down, 437 apartment/condominium units were lost and more than 1,500 acres were destroyed. The economic loss was estimated at $1.5 billion.
Weed-wackingtm is a way of life up here in the hills. You have to maintain a clearance of any flammable materials around your home. And this series of rain storms followed by warm weather, as in "April showers, bring May flowers", has also brought a whole bunch of new weeds! So even though we have wacked down everything around our house & vineyard earlier this Spring, the weeds are back & as tall as ever! Above, you can see my new crop of thistle, mustard grass & miscellaneous weeds!
This time, as we wack down the weeds in the vineyard, we will prune off the spare trunk of the grapevines & stake the remaining trunk up to the trellis wires. Additionally, we have already trouble shot our water system, so now, all we have to do is sit back and watch things grow!
Speaking of growing, take a look at this picture of the vines on Concepcíon Road in Los Altos Hills that I took on my way to the grocery this afternoon. A month back you could see the bare spurs on the cordons, and now the fruiting canes are growing out of the spurs with a lot of vigor! I have not seen how they keep their weeds down, but notice how they keep them closely cropped to the ground.
Quite a few posts ago, I mentioned that there are beneficial weeds that can be seeded between grapevine rows. This is known as "cover cropping", which suppress the more aggressive weeds, while protecting the soil & inhibiting destructive insects. Well, thanks to Mark Vernon, COO of Ridge Vineyards, my neighbor extraordinaire, I have received an thorough report on the practice of "cover cropping" by David Gates, Ridge VP of Vineyard Operations (David also made the rootstock/clone recommendations for our vineyard). This is something I am going to try over the next winter, so that a "cover crop" sprouts up for the 2010 Spring!
David uses this and other sustainable methods at the Ridge vineyards. Checkout Ridge's website for further information about sustainable vineyard management. It is very impressive website with lots of information about their wines, vineyards and facilities. I have added a link on my side-bar as well here in this blog post:
So, now that the growing season has started, all I have to do is watch the grapevines grow, right? That will give me a little more time to do a some work on "This Old Damn House!?" (Isn't that the name of the show?) However, I do have to fit in a hip replacement operation on June 24th, so the length of my recovery will determine when things get done. My project list for this summer runs something like this:
*complete installation of track lighting in master bedroom
*install pocket door in master bathroom
*install new slider closet mirrored doors for Suzie & Katie
*install closet organizers for Suzie & Katie
*install new front path and landing for front door
*install terraced vegetable garden
*dig my own grave & bury myself !!!

It’s often overlooked in the instructional manuals and magazines, but posture lies at the heart of power in the golf swing.
Owning your swing
Henrik Stenson is one of golf’s greatest ball strikers. Here’s some elements from his swing that amateurs may want to learn from.
The word “natural” implies an athlete who came into this life with his or her skills. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Bode Miller, Babe Zaharias, Michael Phelps, and Serena Williams come to mind. When you see them run, jump, walk, swim, or swing, most of us can spot a natural straightaway. There is a certain grace about them, […]
One of the challenges of the game, as many handicappers and pros will attest, is bringing your driving range game to the course. And I think the main reason for that is the nature of both venues. On the range, everything is the same: same lie, same terrain, same target, same time between shots, same […] | <urn:uuid:9a6c3268-2fcc-4d50-9f04-2f7f76361bf1> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://mindfulgolfer.com/category/owning-your-swing/ | 2017-05-24T11:45:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607813.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524112717-20170524132717-00060.warc.gz | en | 0.948277 | 215 | [

Proceeds to benefit CHAPARRAL FIREBIRD ROBOTICS
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) is often called the worst movie ever made. But it's also one of the funniest so how can that be bad? This movie has everything that made Ed Wood a legend weird dialogue, flimsy sets, truly oddball casting, a nonsensical plot and a stand-in for Bela Lugosi who's not only a head taller but also has different color hair. Everything is wrong with this movie except the endless laughter it inspires. And now PLAN 9 is in COLOR. That makes it even weirder than it used to be. And that's really saying something. The Feature is accompanied by exclusive trailers and animations.

Ronald F. Ferguson is an MIT-trained economist whose research, teaching, writing and consulting over three decades have focused on economic, social and educational challenges in urban America. Issues of racial and ethnic inequality have been central in his work. He joined the faculty at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government in September 1983, after full time appointments at Brandeis and Brown Universities. In 2009, he became a member of the faculty at the Graduate School of Education, joint with his position at the Kennedy School. While at Harvard, he has held visiting appointments at MIT and the College Board. In 2014 he co-founded Tripod Education Partners, Inc., and shifted into an adjunct faculty role at the Kennedy School.
Dr. Ferguson’s research and publications cover issues in education policy, youth development programming, community development, economic consequences of skill disparities, and state and local economic development policy. Over the years, his work has attracted substantial national news coverage. In 1987 and 1988, his research on state policy and the economy in Massachusetts was featured prominently in television and newspaper stories during Michael Dukakis’s presidential campaign. By explaining in detail how state policy interacted with broader economic forces, his research (with co-author Helen Ladd) provided a balanced and sober assessment of how policy during the Dukakis governorship contributed to the Massachusetts Economic Miracle from the early 1970s through the middle 1980s.
In 1995, Dr. Ferguson was asked by leaders of the National Community Development Initiative to organize the National Community Development Policy Analysis Network (NCDPAN) in order to help mainstream social science research contribute more effectively to the field of urban community development. Among other products, NCDPAN produced a social science synthesis volume that Dr. Ferguson co-edited and contributed to, in which leading social scientists from several disciplines applied their expertise and insights to urban problem solving. Brookings Press published the volume, titled Urban Problems and Community Development, in 1999. Faculty in leading universities report that the book remains the leading volume of its type for use in university courses.
Dr. Ferguson’s research on public education began in the late 1980s, with a study of whether the certification test scores of 200,000 teachers in 900 Texas school districts helped predict district-to-district differences in student learning gains. The answer was “Yes.” Interspersed with work on other topics, Dr. Ferguson’s education-related work has come increasingly to focus on racial and ethnic achievement gaps, appearing in publications of the National Research Council, the Brookings Institution, the U.S. Department of Education, and various books and journals. Harvard Education Press has published a collected-papers volume of his research and writing on the achievement gap for the period 1995 through 2007. The book is entitled, Toward Excellence with Equity: An Emerging Vision for Closing the Achievement Gap.
In addition to teaching and research, Dr. Ferguson has participated in a wide variety of consulting and policy advisory roles, including the National Research Council Committee on Community-level Youth Programming, the National Research Council Board on Testing and Assessment, the National Urban League’s Campaign for African-American Achievement, the Research Advisory Group on Closing the Achievement Gap of the Council of Great City Schools. Advisory roles with the US Department of Education have included the Urban Education Advisory Board under the George W. Bush administration and Advisory Committee on Policy Evaluation Priorities of the Institute for Educational Sciences under the Obama administration.
His research and consulting on racial achievement gaps led him to create the Tripod Project for School Improvement, which he founded in 2001. Teacher content knowledge, effective pedagogy, and strong teacher-student relationships, are the three legs of the Tripod. Hundreds of schools from districts across twenty states, Canada and China have participated by doing student or teacher surveys on classroom conditions. In addition to surveys and services, national conferences have brought together leaders from participating schools and districts for training and updates and to share ideas. Tripod surveys are the basis of the student perceptions component of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation project on Measuring Effective Teaching. An initial progress report issued in December 2010 indicates that student survey responses to Tripod questions are reliable predictors of learning gains. As a result of the MET project and federal Race to the Top legislation, many school districts around the nation are now using Tripod or other student surveys in their school improvement and teaching evaluation systems.
In 2004, as a result of his effectiveness at bridging research and practice, Dean Ellen C. Lagemann of the Harvard Graduation School of Education asked Dr. Ferguson’s to lead a university-wide seminar on achievement gaps. Initial meetings focused on the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding persistent achievement gaps. In addition, there was a desire among some faculty to engage policy and practice more actively. Therefore, in 2005 the Achievement Gap Initiative (AGI) at Harvard University was formed, with Dr. Ferguson serving as faculty co-chair and director.
The AGI is a university-wide endeavor that also reaches beyond Harvard to bring together researchers, policy makers and practitioners to work on school improvement, parenting, and youth culture issues to help raise student achievement and narrow racial and ethnic gaps. Support from Time Warner, Inc., the Gates Foundation, the Harvard Provost and others has enabled the AGI to convene national conferences and to maintain a web site where both written and video-graphic materials for practitioners and researchers are downloadable from a searchable database. The video library contains over 200 videos of presentations from the past five years. As it attracts additional corporate and private donations, the AGI plans to expand its program of research and informational outreach to collaborate with community-level change agents nationally as a central aspect of its work.
In 2006, the AGI and the Tripod Project were featured in an interview with Dr. Ferguson published in the Harvard Education Letter (“Recent Research on the Achievement Gap,” Nov/Dec 2006). The interview was a finalist for the Association of Education Publishers annual award in the category of Best Interview. Beyond published interviews, Dr. Ferguson’s appearances on network and public television news programs and documentaries include the CNN Nightly News Hour, Today Show, ABC 20/20, Sunday Morning, the MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour, and evening news programs on the three major networks. His research and perspectives on public schooling are cited regularly in newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times, the National Journal, the Washington Post, Education Week and others. On February 13, 2011, he was the focus of a New York Times article entitled, “Closing the Achievement Gap Without Widening a Racial one.” An October 2012 article in the Atlantic Monthly, entitled, “Why Kids Should Grade Teachers,” featured his work with the Tripod Project. Other coverage appears regularly in education publications (for example, School Administrator, March 2014). | <urn:uuid:69a717c9-baf2-4225-bcfa-b96075f699c4> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://aeispeakers.com/speakers/dr-ronald-ferguson/ | 2017-05-26T13:01:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608665.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170526124958-20170526144958-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.955764 | 1,407 | [

This coming school year, the average California resident attending an in-state, public university will incur costs between $23,000 and $32,000. An out-of-state resident will pay $46,000 to $55,000. These exorbitant costs are certainly not exclusive to the Golden State. The expenses are putting a massive strain on young people throughout the nation — a strain that many don't realize until they are already deep in debt.
On June 5, the White House called on colleges and universities to adopt more transparent language about the cost of attending school in their financial aid letters. In the wake of nationwide trillion-dollar student loan debt, Vice President Biden is pushing for a clearer summary of what prospective students should expect to pay over the course of the school year. The proposed layout is said to better help parents and students understand what their costs will be, and to more properly inform their decisions to take out loans.
The guidelines to be included in each letter are:
- How much one year of college will cost
- Financial aid options to pay this cost, with a clear differentiation between grants and scholarships, which do not have to be repaid, and loans, which do
- Net costs after grants and scholarships are taken into account
- Estimated monthly payments for the federal student loans the student would likely owe after graduation
- Vital information about student results, including comparative information about the rates at which students enroll from one year to the next, graduate, and repay their loans without defaulting on their obligations.
So far, 10 schools, including Vassar College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have agreed to include this info in an "easy-to-read place" on correspondence starting with the 2013-2014 school year. The hope is that more schools will voluntarily adopt this format, making financial aid information uniform across all colleges and universities. | <urn:uuid:7b99b935-4a75-47de-b1d5-426226caabbc> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.marieclaire.com/politics/news/a12349/student-loan-transparency/ | 2017-05-26T12:56:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608665.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170526124958-20170526144958-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.969364 | 382 | [

These do look a little prosaic. Dehydrated tomato slices, right? Well, a little more. For those of you who like the flavor of ketchup, and might use it more often, if it didn't make bread soggy. These are seasoned with the same flavor profile as ketchup. The key it turns out is a little brown sugar and some clove. They are actually quite fetching just on their own, rather tart. I sliced them paper thin and completely utterly dessicated them, so they're crunchy. I just put a few on a turkey sandwich. Delightful. They could also be powdered and sprinkled on a salad, or anywhere you might want that flavor but not the goop of ketchup.

A few days before the Olympic Track and Field Trials last month, Florence Griffith Joyner stepped out of her apartment door for a last training run. It was 10 p.m., and her husband, Al Joyner, the 1984 Olympic gold medalist in the triple jump, was running with her. It was part of their routine: They would race each other down busy Woodley Avenue in Van Nuys, Calif., to the intersection 700 meters away. That night Al stayed even for the first 50 yards. “Don’t tense up, stay relaxed, Dee Dee,” he whispered, using her family nickname. “Right then she pulled away from me,” he recalls. “It was like afterburners ignited on her feet.” Griffith Joyner’s best time to the corner had been 1:41; now, when she clicked the stopwatch, it read 1:36. “I told her it was a good omen,” says Al. “The name of the street we run to is Victory.”
On July 15, 28-year-old Delorez Florence Griffith Joyner achieved victory again. On the opening day of the trials in Indianapolis, she shattered the women’s 100-meter world record, running one heat in an astonishing 10.49 seconds (bettering teammate Evelyn Ashford’s 1984 record of 10.76). The next day she broke the record during three more sprints. Those times made Griffith Joyner the gold medal favorite at Seoul (Ashford will be a main challenger) and established her as the world’s swiftest woman. She provided the coup de grace on the last day, when she broke the American 200-meter record with a time of 21.85. “I knew I was ready to run,” she says in her sultry alto voice. “My suitcase had been packed a week before we left.”
As much as her blazing speed, it was the contents of Griffith Joyner’s suitcase that left many spectators wide-eyed. The woman who sported four-inch, red-white-and-blue fingernails at the 1984 Olympics now burst from the starting blocks in a series of stunning, low-cut bodysuits covered by bikini briefs. One leg was completely uncovered—exhibiting quadriceps and hamstrings that Michelangelo might have sculpted. “I like designing clothes, and I wanted to bring something of myself into what I do,” explains Florence. “The one-legger was an accident. I was actually creating an even more radical style—it has to do with cutting more holes in the stocking—and I happened to cut off the leg. I tried it on and thought, ‘Hmmm. This looks cute.’ Besides,” she adds, “it’s about time track and field looked pretty.”
Track and field almost missed the chance. Born in L.A., the seventh of airline technician Robert Griffith and his wife Florence’s 11 children, young Florence took home a fistful of. running medals and later went on to Cal State-Northridge, where she came under the tutelage of Bobby Kersee. When he moved to UCLA the next year, Griffith followed him and became a friend and teammate of Jackie Joyner. Florence won a silver medal in the 200 meters at the 1984 Olympics, but by early 1986 she was working as a customer service representative for an L.A. bank and had gained 15 pounds. “I didn’t drop out of running,” she insists, disputing Kersee’s jocular claim that she had gained 60 pounds, “but I didn’t decide to get focused until later in the year.” The focusing began in earnest last November, when she appeared at Kersee’s doorstep and asked if there was time to get in shape for the trials. Kersee designed a rigorous training program, but her big improvement, Florence says, came when she finally learned the secret possessed by the greatest runners: how to achieve greater speed by trying less hard. “For a long time I thought that being relaxed meant you were running slow, but it’s the contrary. When you’re trying to go fast, you’re fighting against your body instead of letting go.”
Since the trials, Griffith Joyner’s appearance fee has jumped from $1,500 to $25,000, but her success has taken a small toll on family togetherness. Shortly after the trials, the newly minted celeb parted ways with Kersee, citing financial and coaching differences, and named husband Al her coach. “There are no hard feelings,” Kersee says. “Jackie and I are happy for her and Al.” Jackie, whose hair Florence often braids, agrees: “We’re family.”
Al Joyner admits it took some persistence for him to win Florence Griffith. “I first laid eyes on her at the 1980 Olympic Trials and thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world,” he says. Nothing came of that encounter, and she became engaged to hurdler Greg Foster for a time, but Al and Florence occasionally met at meets. In 1986 Al moved to L.A. from his home in Arkansas in order to train—and told friends back home that the only reason he wouldn’t come back would be if he had married Griffith. “She’s so sincere and sweet,” says Al, who admits that Florence hardly noticed him at first. “She’s also the most determined athlete I know besides my sister Jackie.” When Florence finally did notice him, she found that “we have the same views about track and field and about life.”
Joyner, a self-described romantic, planned his marriage proposal carefully. “I ordered a limousine to take us out to dinner,” he says. “I got down on my knees in the car, and I said to her, ‘You are the most sweet, loving, kind, straightforward person I know. Will you be my wife?’ She looked at me and started to cry. She didn’t say a word, but she took the ring. The next day we took her niece and nephew out to lunch, and she handed me a little piece of paper that said, ‘Yes.’ ”
One week after his wife’s stunning performance in the trials, Al removed his 1984 gold medal from the bank safe-deposit box and placed it around his wife’s neck. “I know how hard she has worked this year and how much she wants to win the gold,” says Joyner. “So I told her, ‘Dee Dee, to me you’ve already won the gold medal, but when you come back with your three after Seoul, you can give me this one back.’ ” Florence Griffith Joyner, fastest woman in the world, is counting on giving it back. | <urn:uuid:5e7aea26-1744-457b-82bc-f2b38e217d71> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://people.com/archive/flashy-florence-griffith-joyner-will-be-the-one-to-watch-and-clock-in-the-womens-sprints-vol-30-no-9/ | 2017-05-27T18:48:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608984.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527171852-20170527191852-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.984414 | 1,492 | [

This has been a big year for me personally. Soon I will be saying "fare-thee-well" to my first 39 years. I have two children who started high school this year, which rebooted my prayer life somewhat. Yesterday was a big day for my son; he now has his first "girlfriend," a nice young girl from our youth group. I am happy for him, but at the same time, I don't want him to allow girls to do to him what they did to me. I am praying for him to be sure enough of who and Whose he is so as not to allow some girl to destroy his self-esteem or to put his heart in a blender and press "frappe."
I was proud to see him holding the door for his new friend and conducting himself like a gentleman. That he got from his Dad! | <urn:uuid:e95ac490-2fe6-4ef1-b05d-ad3428d99cff> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://toddsword.blogspot.com/2007/09/and-so-it-begins.html | 2017-05-27T17:34:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608984.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527171852-20170527191852-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.995851 | 176 | [

The Florida Supreme Court has unanimously barred three proposed state constitutional amendments from appearing on the November ballot.
Amendment 5 would have done away with most school property taxes. The Legislature then would have had to come up with money from other sources, including higher sales taxes, to make up for the loss.
Supporters argued Amendment 5, which would cut 25 percent off homeowners' property tax bills, was the only way to help jump-start Florida's struggling housing market. Opponents had argued it would lead to increased sales taxes, endanger school funding and result in a major tax increase to those who don't own property.
Amendments 7 and 9 dealt with the use of public funding for churches or sectarian institutions, and permitted the use of public money for school tuition vouchers while requiring a certain level of school funding to be used for instruction.
The amendments were floated by the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission, a panel that meets once every 20 years and placed all the amendments on the ballot.
Justices indicated they would not entertain a request for a rehearing.
The Florida School Boards Association opposed all three amendments.
The Florida Chamber of Commerce applauded the court's decision, saying it will "avoid the uncertainty created by Amendment 5."
"We look forward to continuing to fight, along with Gov. Crist and the Legislature, to finish the work on property tax relief for Florida taxpayers," the chamber's statement noted.
Barney Bishop, president of Associated Industries of Florida, said that had Amendment 5 passed, it would have worsened the economy "because it would have delayed the proposed property tax cut for three long years, and it would have hurt Florida's ability to keep and attract businesses until they knew in 2011 what the new tax structure would become." | <urn:uuid:6b047b76-f32c-49b2-ade0-ed5422fff62f> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2008/09/01/daily23.html | 2017-05-27T19:10:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608984.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527171852-20170527191852-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.980144 | 353 | [

Biscuits at Branch Water Tavern
On a recent visit to Branch Water Tavern, I enjoyed the chicken fried oysters, seasonal cocktails and perfectly cooked rare cheeseburger. Truly bloody meat can be, ahem, bloody hard to find in Houston restaurants.
My favorite part of the meal, however, was a dish I didn't have to pay for or even request: the biscuits.
These flaky, buttery two-by-one squares were served prompt and piping-hot just after the waitress took our drink orders. Too busy nursing my martini, I neglected to try my biscuit until the appetizers arrived. (Husband had already devoured his portion.) Just a nibble was enough to distract me from the oysters. The biscuit's interior was all warm squishy dough; the exterior, all brown, buttery crust.
A biscuit like that doesn't need butter, let alone other fancy condiments, but indulging isn't really about what you need, is it?
I halved the remaining biscuit and spread both sides with whipped butter and red pepper jelly. It now strangely resembled a pizza; its taste, however, reminded me far more of the Saturday-morning breakfasts of my childhood than of my trip to Rome. A more decadent version of buttered toast with strawberry jam (my morning meal of choice as a child), the combination of spice and sugar and savory cream was absolutely divine.
I could have feasted on those biscuits all night but there was beef and gnocchi and white wine to be had, so I let the server clear my bread plate. I continued with the rest of my meal, all the while glancing covetously at the platters of fresh biscuits being delivered to new patrons. Lucky bastards.

It can be difficult to find a pet door that will match your old one exactly. First, you'll need to measure the cutout hole in your door. Note that this is the cutout in the door, not the pet door frame. Next, pick a door that is closest in measurement. You can find the dimensions for our pet doors in this chart.
You might need to cut the hole in your door a little bigger to accommodate a slightly larger new door. To replace it with a slightly smaller door instead, add additional pieces of wood to the inside of the hole.
Contact our Customer Care Center for help with selecting and installing a new door.Close
Most pets will learn to use the door with a few short training sessions. However, some pets can take a little longer to become comfortable and more confident using the door. The most important rule is to be patient with your pet. Let your pet work out for himself that he can go through the pet door. With a little patience and training, you and your pet will soon enjoy the freedom your new pet door provides.
Helpful Tip: Try treats or toys to encourage your pet to go through the pet door.

I've been doing research on what I need to purchase to build my next desktop. For those you who don't know, you can actually get a higher quality machine for roughly the same price as a PC purchased at a retail store if you build your machine. Please understand, I only recommend this for ADVANCED users. If you can't reliably speak about things like BUS speeds, processor cores, or L1/L2 caches, then DO NOT try to build a machine on your own. GET EXPERIENCED HELP. I'm serious. I blew up $500 worth of electronic equipment when I built my first PC because I didn't know what I was doing and connected things incorrectly. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! That was two months of saved paychecks at the time. Talk to any Tech nerd, and they will ALL give you stories of badly built systems either frying out instantly or with a couple of months of being built.
Now, you're probably wondering why I'm building a Desktop PC when it seems the trend is mobile computing: smartphones, tablets, etc. Well, there are a couple things about that where I'm concerned. First, I'm a big guy. So, the current push to make things smaller is REALLY fucking annoying. If you want a laugh, imagine me with hands that can engulf most human faces, trying to use a blackberry style keyboard on a phone. And using an iPhone? Don't make me laugh. In my hands, an iPhone looks like a stick of gum. In either case, the point is I need larger electronics. My current laptop has a 17in. screen and a full size keyboard. It's actually inconvenient to travel with because it's so large. Then there's the fact that I can't reliably use track pads on laptops (don't get me started on touch screens), so I need a mouse. Second, I store a lot of information digitally, so I use not one, but TWO external hard drives, a bunch of smaller flash drives and a variety of other peripherals. Taking all that stuff with me isn't a really great idea, So, guess where my "portable" computer stays 90% of the time? ON MY DESK! So if I'm not using my laptop to travel why in the name of all gods binary do I need a mobile computer??
And now you understand why I'm building a desktop PC.
Anyway, it's been a little while since I built my last PC so I started doing my due diligence on what the current state of the art is in terms of hardware. First step is the brains of the system: the CPU (Central Processing Unit). There has been an eternal battle in the CPU market between the two top companies: AMD & Intel. It's nice to see that in an industry where everything changes in as little as 3 months, THAT particular battle is still on going. (Oh, and I just got an idea for another "Eternal Arguments" post! Haven't done one of those in awhile!) Personally, I've used CPUs from both companies and it's basically a trade off. There are pluses and minuses to each company's products. More on that in another post.
After spending some time looking into the latest products for both Intel & AMD, I decided to go with an AMD processor this go 'round. The specific processor being the FX-8350. It clocks .5 GHz faster than Intel's i7-4770K, and has 8 cores instead of the i7's 4 cores. Now here's the kicker, the AMD processor costs $130 LESS than Intel's CPU! That is what finally clinched it for me.
|Some details on the CPU I chose.| | <urn:uuid:764f75f7-a7bb-48bf-a8e4-40d4658bb4fc> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://dilking2002.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-new-desktop-pc-processor.html | 2017-05-29T00:21:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612003.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528235437-20170529015437-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.9621 | 763 | [

If you like mozzarella, you’ll love scamorza! A cheese originally from Southern Italy, Scamorza is a proud member of the “pasta filata” pulled curd family. This cheese making process involves heating and stretching curds, almost as one would taffy. It adds more power to a pizza, lasagna, or sandwiches than does a mozzarella. Scamorza comes plain or smoked. This scamorza (smoked) from Cappiello is even more flavorful since it is roasted over hickory.
The Cappiello family immigrated from Sorrento, Italy to Schenectady, New York in the 1920s. Once settled in the States, they carried on the tradition of cheesemaking. In Italian shops, one often finds dryer cheeses and cured meats hanging from the ceiling over the counter.
Scamorza is one such cheese. Its shape, which resembles a pear or beggar’s purse, comes from such a hanging. In fact, the cheese is “strangled” (strangolare il formaggio – to strangle the cheese); it first is shaped into a ball, and then pinched at the top and tied with a rope to hang up to dry, and in this case, smoked. Such torture for a cheese! stretching, strangling, hanging, and then set over burning embers!
The result is a gorgeous dairy delicacy with a rich tradition in Italian artistry. Scamorza works as a savory table cheese and, when melted, adds excellent creamy texture to dishes. The smoke gives a “meaty” flavor, but with no meat, of course.
Cappiello products are OU-D, cholov stam. http://www.cappiellofoods.com

Some weeks I feel like the person that I am in my head. Patient. Understanding. Kind. I'll change the toilet paper at work when it gets close to the end instead of using less paper so that the next unfortunate soul draws that short straw. I'll fold my son's laundry instead of leaving it in the dryer and yelling like Rosanne Barr for him to come get it out. I'll take my daughter to dinner and won't make a single negative comment about anything that she's doing that will make her tell me that I'm being intrusive (even though I sometimes am). I'll even pick up the tab.
I won't yell "BAD DOG!" when Riley leaves me a deposit that smells like a herd of goats has been on that puppy pad instead of one small, very fluffy (until tomorrow when the groomer handles that) shih tzu. I'll just get up and take the radioactive waste outside and move on. And I'll just bend down and pick up whatever poor unfortunate piece of paper that he has turned into confetti and throw it away before he eats it and throws up on the couch. Because he totally will if I don't.
Some weeks I am patient with people who I've told the same thing to twenty-six times and I don't even mutter under my breath. I'll stay in a line in the drive-thru while someone who is exploring the entirety of the menu asking seventeen questions about how something on the dollar menu is prepared and then after all that orders combo #1 because being adventurous isn't as much fun as being time consuming apparently is. I'll be less inclined to scream "MORON!" at someone who steals my parking place at Target and I'll walk quietly behind the lady in a scooter blocking the aisle at Publix because it just isn't worth trying to get her to move. After all, she's trying to decide between the 15 1/2 oz can and the 28 oz can and apparently that takes several birthdays to ponder.
Sometimes I can listen to my kids complain about how busy their lives are without pulling out the "you have no idea what busy is..."speech and can find dirty dishes in the sink and just quietly turn around and put them in the empty dishwasher instead of rolling the offender out of bed (or off the couch) and pitching a fit that makes Jerry Springer contestants look tame (and/or sane).
I'll let other people get the credit and be fine with it, watch the ridiculous reality shows that Big Dave is partial to (while sitting at the computer across the room...and hearing what I can above the snoring) and I'll even switch cars so that someone can have her oil changed at Big Dave's Free Oil Emporium when my car also needs it. I won't ask people to change the channel at the gym when it is firmly planted on NBC News and I won't yell "Liar!" when President Obama comes on the screen.
Okay, maybe that last one happens even on a good week. I have Political Tourette's. I really do.
And then there are weeks that I can only look back and worry about just how much fun I'm going to be when I'm older and everything about my personality is magnified. Because I somehow sense that this is not going to be pretty.
My grandmother taught me that whole magnification thing, by the way. She would very tactfully whisper something to me that was a little bit...shall we say...tacky? But nobody could really hear her and so all was well, right?
Until she got a little bit older.
She kept up this practice...except that since she couldn't hear herself well...she said whatever it was loud enough for me to hear. And everyone else within earshot. Three tables away.
This sometimes was about as mortifying as discovering that you have tucked the back of your skirt into your pantyhose and paraded through downtown Montgomery like a poor unfortunate soul in a Morrison's Cafeteria uniform that I witnessed once walking down the street sometime in 1986 from the 2nd floor of the Union Bank building. So not kidding. And the stubbornness that was seen as "strong-willed and capable" in her 70's became "dictator-like and obstinate" when she hit her 90's. (Of course, we loved her anyway.)
I will likely be put in a home and will be "that patient" that people are going to cringe when they are assigned to my floor. Of course, what is "Towanda" today is going to turn into some special brand of crazy that I can only imagine will be not particularly fun to deal with.
Although I really hope that I'll be all sweetness and light...I'm fairly certain that dealing with me will be like eating an entire handful of Sour Patch kids all at once. Sweet...but seriously unbearable at the same time.
Yes, I've actually done that. Don't judge.
Anyway, this week has been more than a little bit interesting, and my fuse has been shorter than it needs to be. I told a manager about a snippy counter waitress on Saturday because they spend a whole lot of money on radio advertising...and they need to know that she needs to not do that and to just go on break...temporary or otherwise. I also loudly condemned the line jumping guy in Michael's the same day because if there is any store that the next person waiting in the LONGEST. LINES. EVER. needs to be served...it is in that one. I got behind a lady doing a Girl Scout project involving no fewer than 700 items in the cart...and I stood there for ten minutes while that sucker was unloaded. About halfway through her cart, someone took mercy on us and opened another line. But did the next person in line go first (me)? NO.
I've noticed that men of all ages forget their manners when it comes to waiting. If a line opens up...they will jump ahead of you before you can say "JERK!" And when they do...I say it anyway. Let's just say that the guy in Michael's certainly heard it.
As did the three other unfortunate souls who were in line. Bless their hearts.
But I waited on the lady who fumbled for another two minutes for a coupon in her purse before I was finally able to purchase my one item. I won't even go into how much fun that was. And yes, I had my coupon in my hand like a normal person.
During these times when everyone gets on my nerves...from the creeping along Mini-Cooper in Eastchase tonight that I was behind to the indecisive, non-rushed, or just plain slow for reasons known only to them crowd. I seem to take it personally...and want people to just act with some consideration toward others.
And then I remember that I've dodged out of replacing the toilet paper roll at work because I didn't feel like it. That on days I don't work...I enjoy not having a timeline to get things done and so I meander around like I'm clueless...and I like it. That sometimes I want to ask a question at a drive-thru window about something on the menu because I tend to be a "Combo #1" girl most of the time...and I'm not responsible for the schedules of the individuals in the three cars behind me. They can always run in. The line is probably shorter in there anyway.
So, tomorrow, I'll try to look for opportunities to make other peoples' lives better...or at least easier. I hope that I won't take it personally when some yahoo fails to put on his blinker so I would have known he was turning and wouldn't have waited at the stop sign for him to give me a clue as to his intentions. That I won't yell at the television at the gym that I'm shocked that Brian Williams is actually reporting the news on NBC instead of the dribble that I think he normally spouts.
Wait, that last one was a little Towanda-ish. Sorry.
Maybe if I'm a little bit more tolerant with people I can stay out of the classroom called "Patience"...where I am probably one of the oldest students in the class. I've failed that one so many times that I already know the syllabus by heart. I just can't seem to pass the final exam. I probably never will.
But I'm hoping that I can at least be a nicer person...and someone that my children won't hate to visit when I'm older. Someone who is thought of to be a little bit more awesome than I really am...instead of a cranky bitter impatient person yelling at a line-breaker.
Although he really deserved it.
But, frankly, that isn't for me to judge. That's God's job. And if I just sit and wait...eventually I'll either quit worrying about the little annoyances of life...or I'll see God pull off a lesson plan that is extremely memorable. Or maybe I'll find myself back in the "Patience" classroom again. At least I'll be happier than I ever am being a rabid banshee...which I can honestly pull off, y'all...don't be fooled.
Tomorrow is a new day. Here's hoping its a good one. But if it isn't...stick around. At least it will be entertaining. | <urn:uuid:5d4f70b4-3d9b-403f-a486-39eb34934dcc> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://mypointsintime.blogspot.com/2013/05/on-patience.html | 2017-05-30T07:11:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463614615.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20170530070611-20170530090611-00017.warc.gz | en | 0.980325 | 1,947 | [

Nolan Fontana's walk-off inside-the-park home run — the first in Salt Lake Bees history — gave the Bees a 5-4 win over the Iowa Cubs in 11 innings in front of an announced 10,151 on Saturday night at Smith's Ballpark. The Bees have now won five straight and six of their past seven. Fontana's round-tripper was the Bees' 15th inside-the-park home run in franchise history and the first inside-the-park homer since June 25, 2013.
Fontana hit the first pitch from Cubs relief pitcher Dylan Floro into the left-center field gap where Cubs outfielders Mark Zagunis and John Andreoli converged. Zagunis made a diving attempt at a catch, but the ball glanced off his glove. Andreoli bobbled the ball slightly upon picking it up while Fontana motored around the bases. | <urn:uuid:2da70a47-b54b-498a-808c-50ce8e64bc97> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.sltrib.com/sports/5285001-155/bees-walk-off-inside-the-park-homer-lifts-salt | 2017-05-30T08:02:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463614615.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20170530070611-20170530090611-00017.warc.gz | en | 0.948593 | 185 | [

Teeth Whitening Strips
Few things make a more favorable first impression than a dazzling white smile. Luckily consumers today are able to get a brighter, whiter, and more confident smile with less effort and expense than ever before. At home teeth whitening
products, such as teeth whitening strips
, are easy to use, inexpensive, and effective. There are a variety of at home whitening methods on the market today. Teeth whitening strips, teeth whitening gel
, and teeth whitening trays
allow for today's consumer to pick the way in which they want to make their smile brighter.
Teeth whitening strips are used by placing the thin strip of film directly onto the front of the teeth. Depending on the style and the brand the amount of time the strip is left on will vary. After the appropriate amount of time has passed, usually a couple of hours, the strips are then removed. After rinsing of the mouth the wearer is left with no ill effects from wearing them. After using teeth whitening strips for just a few weeks results are visible. The teeth are essentially bleached to provide a dazzling white smile.
Consumers who find teeth whitening
strips particularly useful are those who are heavy smokers, frequent coffee
and tea drinkers. Tooth whitening strips allow for the clock to be turned back and years of staining to be removed in just a few weeks time. People who then continue to indulge in activities likely to stain teeth the process will need to be repeated more frequently than those who do not.
Many of the largest brands in the dental care arena are now offering teeth whitening products
, such as teeth whitening strips. Makers include: Rembrandt, Crest
, Colgate and Listerine. All four of these major manufactures offer research information regarding their products on their websites. Going over this information can help make the consumer feel more comfortable since teeth whitening products are not covered by dental insurance
at this time. As teeth whitening products continue to gain in popularity more major department stores, drug stores, and even grocery stores are beginning to offer their own house brand of teeth whitening strips. Purchasing these generic versions of teeth whitening products can save money, but some consumers are more comfortable purchasing a name brand product. The name brand offerings provide the protection of the reputation and experience only a major manufacturer can offer.

PowerCam recently just had a huge update, with new features, high res output and better way of making and sharing collages. Ive blogged about this app before but Wondershare asked me to do another write up for them. So I reinstalled PowerCam onto my iPhone and played with the app, taking photos with the real-time effects, check out the res output and had fun taking pictures with this app again. The really did some huge improvements from the ground up. PowerCam runs pretty stable and haven’t had do any crashes (knock on wood). I’m really impressed with all the hard work they put to improve real-time capture. What even better is this isn’t an iOS only camera app. PowerCam is universal to all Droid Mobile Photographers, so this is great news. There is also an iPad HD and Droid Tablet version of PowerCam too. The top photo was taken with PowerCam. No editing or combos with this app, but you know me I will find a way in using it as a combo for my crazy editing style. I wanted to add that PowerCam with this huge update will give other camera apps out there a run for it’s money. The app is on sale at the App Store for $.99, so better get it before the price goes up.
Lets talk about PowerCam, now here are you options for using this all in one real-time capture app. Here are your options, Capture, Collage, Edit and Gallery. You can tap on which one you want to use or…
Start with the Capture feature as the default after the app has been loaded up, if you tap on the HOUSE button on the top left corner. This will take you back to the Wondershare home screen…
Lats go back to the main Wondershare page and tap on the sprocket gear at the bottom left hand corner and get to the settings page. Make sure you check and change your settings before you start shooting. I forgot to do that so I got the date imprint and low res out on my photo. Sometimes I get so excited about an app I forget to check and do the settings on camera apps.
Now if you tapped on the magic wand button on the bottom right hand corner, your real-time capture effect will slide out. Magic Wizards Hat is the main real-time effects. You have three different option folders.
Rubber Duckie button is your second folder of effects. I haven’t even used or touched these effects yet. As you can see you have endless possibilities of playing with different shooting effects and editing processing styles.
The third button which is a heart is your favorites effects. This is a great way to keep your favorites effect in a fast easy way to find them. Instead of endless scrolling between the two other folders of effects.
There’s a button on the top right hand corner. That looks like three dots across. When you tap on it, you will these 3 options for camera. Right now these features are turned off.
But when you turn them on, this is what your screen will look for the camera. Some people like to use manual controls on the camera. This is great when you need that extra control in taking your photos. I always like the grid on the screen when taking photos. It helps me with straightening and composing my photos before I shoot. I know for some people this is too much stuff on the screen. You have the options of turning them off.
Right above the camera button is an arrow button. When you tap on the arrow you have all these other real-time edit effects. These are the standard features and effects on most camera apps and point and shoot cameras. These are great if you just want to take regular to minimal real-time effects photo. Then you want to post them on Facebook, Instagram and/or email them to friends and family.
This is my gallery of photos. I wanted to show you a cool feature with this app with the Folder WiFi button on the top right.
You can sync this app to your desktop/laptop and move your photo from your gallery to your desktop/laptop.
Select the photos you want in your gallery…
You can put a border on them or…
Change the background and/or make a collage with other photos in your gallery.
After you’re done you can share your creation with the world or these social sites and email. But if you’re me, you just want to save them on your camera roll for editing later or post them somewhere else instead.
This is my background with one of my photos from my gallery.
These are other real-time effects you can shoot with PowerCam. You can pick up PowerCam at the App Store and Google Play for smartphone and tablet versions. Just click on one of these versions, PowerCam for iPhone, PowerCam HD for iPad, PowerCam for Android and Power Cam for Android Tablet. If you have any questions just leave a comment or email me [email protected]. You can follow me on Instagram @combo_apps and check out the Combo Apps Flickr Group. Have a great day and see you soon !!!

At press time, several purchase bids were rumored to have been placed for the Oceanic, with interest in the ship reportedly from Paris Katsoufis, Imperial Majesty Cruise Line, and other parties. There were also reports of ongoing interest in the purchase of the Rembrandt (ex-Rotterdam V) by Dutch entrepreneur Joop Post for use as a floating hotel in Amsterdam. Meanwhile, the Big Red Boat II (ex Edinburgh Castle), owned by the ISP-controlled Progress Group, is being eyed by a new operation, Caribbean Odyssey Line, reportedly planning three- and four-night cruises from Port Canaveral to Nassau, Freeport and Key West starting March 30.
Bahamian authorities have confirmed that in last month's Marshal's Sale, the Oceanic was sold to Cruise Venture One Corp. for $20 million; the Big Red Boat ill (ex-Islandbreeze) was sold to Cruise Venture Two Corp. for $16 million; and the Rembrandt was sold to Cruise Venture Four Corp. for $18 million. According to a statement by DLJ Vice President Howard Shams, "DLJ has a controlling interest in each of the companies (Cruise Venture One, Two and Four)," and the Marshal's Sale has rendered the vessels "free and clear of all liens and encumbrances." Shams continued, "International Shipping Partners has been appointed as the technical manager for each of the vessels and is also involved in the sales/charter efforts on behalf of the owners."
According to a statement by Premier liquidators PriceWaterHouseCoopers, the first meeting of creditors will be held on Jan. 21. It continued, "As of Sept. 18, 2000, the company's principal creditor (DLJ) appears to have been owed more than $50 million and was secured by mortgages on the company-owned cruise ships. In . addition to the obligations of the company's principal creditor, the company's trade, employee wage claims, passenger deposits and other indebtedness appear to total approximately $73 million." Premier's total liabilities are listed at $122,044,000. | <urn:uuid:16168a2e-cce8-4cf7-bd1d-2e86d861e851> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/14389-premier-cruises-sell-off.html | 2017-05-25T14:39:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608084.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525140724-20170525160724-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.969012 | 430 | [

Sadly Microsoft in Windows 8.1 is removing the Windows 7 backup tool that for years allowed users to create a full backup (or system image) of their PCs. This actually was a pretty handy tool among savvy users to backup Windows installation files, documents, device driver, desktop applications and even the new modern apps in Windows 8, to recover in case of hard drive failure, malware, and many other problems.
It was pretty obvious that Microsoft was eventually going to retire this tool, because when Windows 8 was released, the “Backup and Restore” feature was simply renamed to “Windows 7 File Recovery”, almost telling you to use this tool only for recovery purposes and nothing more.
The software giant may have many reasons for this decision, a few of those reasons could be that creating a system image can potentially carryover bad program installation, malware, and many other issues — or perhaps Microsoft understands that starting from scratch is the best solution –. But it seems that the main reason is because Windows 8 includes new recovery tools, such as Refresh your PC, Reinstall everything, File History, and SkyDrive which not only allows to store documents in the cloud, but also can store PC settings and roam them between all your Windows 8 devices.
Also let’s not forget the biggest problems around creating a full backup, it can fail for many reasons (e.g., file corruption, operation did not complete successfully and user won’t notice, etc.), and files won’t be up to date unless you perform a full backup hourly. But the biggest problem is that if the backup doesn’t work (which happen pretty often), it could become impossible to recover important personal files.
Even though you won’t find anymore the “Windows 7 File Recovery” option in Windows 8.1, the ability to create a full backup of your PC still possible with a combination of different tools and services. Now instead of having an easy to use dashboard to create a system image, you’ll have to perform this task using the Recimg command line tool, File History to backup files separately, and SkyDrive to backup PC settings (and even documents, if you choose so).
Yes, I know it seems rather a more time consuming operation and it is, but at least in many scenarios where recovery is necessary, you won’t need extra software and you’ll be able to restore everything with the latest version of all your important personal files.
In the step by step instructions below, we’ll go through how to create a Windows 8.1 system image, how to configure the image as a custom refresh point. We’ll also learn to use File History to backup your files, and finally you’ll learn to configure SkyDrive to sync PC settings to the cloud. Let’s start:
1 Go to the Start screen, type cmd, from the results, right-click and select Run as administrator.
2 Next type the following command and press Enter:
This far you created a custom system image of Windows 8.1 on the drive where Windows is installed (C:\Custom_Image_Refresh), also using the above command will register the image for recovery when using the refresh feature. To verify if this is true, type the following command on the Command Prompt:
If after entering the command you get the message “There is no active custom recovery image. Error Code – 0x80070490”, you’ll need to register the recovery image manually with the following command:
Where “C” is the drive where the image is stored.
Keep in mind that if the operating system does not find the the custom system image, it will fall back to the default image or installation media when a refresh is perform.
Restoring your PC with a custom recovery image
In Windows 8.1 the “Refresh your PC without affecting your files” still works the same as it did before. The only change is the location, now to get to the recovery options in Windows 8.1, you need to go to the PC settings by using the win +i keyboard shortcut, clicking Change PC settings, navigate Update & recovery, Recovery, and clicking the Get Started button.
Finally, click Next, Refresh and wait until Windows 8.1 finishes the process.
Although using Recimg to create a custom recovery image, it doesn’t backup Windows 8 apps, documents, personal settings, or user profiles, because that information is preserved when you refresh your PC.
Thus far you created a backup of the operating system and desktop applications, now the second part on creating a full backup of Windows 8.1 is to configure File History. This is a new tool in Windows 8 that basically allows you to backup all your files on the daily basis. To learn how to configure and use Time Machine like feature read the following guide: How to set up Windows 8 File History to backup your data (Step-by-Step).
Backing up PC settings with SkyDrive
Even though, refresh takes care of keeping moderns apps, user profiles, personal settings, you can also make sure these settings are safe off your PC. Thanks to the new deep integration of SkyDrive in Windows 8.1, you can sync personalization, modern apps, and other important settings in the cloud. To backup your settings, go to PC settings, SkyDrive, Sync settings, and make sure Sync settings on this PC is turned-on, and finally choose the settings you want to save in the cloud. (Remember that settings could take some time to sync, if you are enabling them for the first time.)
Although, this process of full backup in Windows 8.1 does not create a bit-by-bit copy of your hard drive like it was possible in Windows 7, it does accomplish keeping your important files safe on the daily basis, it preserves desktop applications and modern apps, PC settings — basically everything.
If you think about it, this process actually makes more sense (in theory), because unless you do a full backup at least every week, the files to recover will always be out of date and many others files because of the time gap will not even get backed up making the recovery inconsistent.
The only problem I see with this process is that it will not protect your PC from hardware failure. But as it turns out there is a workaround, you can install a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 in a new hard drive, and then you can perform a refresh which will restore your previous installation with your desktop applications (e.g., Photoshop, iTunes, Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Office, Spotify, etc.) that you took so much time configuring.

2. Press articles are somewhat different from article writing. They are more on the promotional side of things. Although businesses do not actually need too many press articles, they are also necessary because this what makes the products popular. However, press articles are more expensive to contract because they require too many details, attractive designs, comprehensive messages and more technical presentations. Offline consultants who are expert with press articles can charge up to $50-$200 for just one press article. So if you are a good online freelancer who is looking for ways to make money at home this is how to make yourself richer.
3. Use of simple but effective keywords is also one strategy that could help offline businesses cope up in the search engines. Ironically, most local and offline businesses are not familiar with the employment of active keywords for their products. With your knowledge in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) you can offer your services to these businesses, to make them active on the keyword search. If you are not familiar with keywords, search Google’s home page for a free tool. This will teach you how to find the right keywords that are most commonly searched on the internet. Remember that although offline businesses are not particularly strong on the search engines, the owners always want new ways to make people find them.
SEO companies and offline consultants can charge up to $1,000 for every keyword that are very much optimized and this is probably the best option to make money at home without doing the hard jobs. You surely would not want to waste time doing small online ventures that would take you nowhere. So start learning the basics of becoming an online consultant for offline businesses. How to do this is by learning from those who actually make money doing it. | <urn:uuid:e38d62d0-92a7-4192-b6a9-a8549308b032> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://cybernob.com/how-to-make-money-at-home-heres-3-ways/ | 2017-05-27T21:29:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463609061.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527210417-20170527230417-00377.warc.gz | en | 0.955835 | 565 | [

Question: 4 year old armpit odor
|kayaly1 - Sat Mar 31, 2007 7:28 pm|
I have recently noticed a very stong body odor coming from my 4 1/2 year old's armpits. Is this something I should be concerned with or maybe just give her a mild deoderant? I bathe her every other day. Thank you for your time.
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Sun Apr 01, 2007 12:07 am|
Prepubertal children do not typically have body odor. The presence of body odor may be a sign of premature andrenarchy (early production of adrenal hormones).
This condition, in itself, is not a problem; however, it may be a sign of precocious puberty (early onset of puberty). This would be something that should be treated.
I would recommend that you have your daughter evaluated for any other signs of puberty. If there are none, she should have regular examinations to ensure that puberty is not beginning early. If puberty is noted, she should see an endocrinologist to help stop it.
|kayaly1 - Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:15 pm|
Thank you Dr. Lowe. I will get her to the Pediatrician this week.

Over the last nine months that I’ve been a member of NYC Resistor I’ve watched it grow in both membership and awesomeness to the point that we have outgrown our current space. Over the next few weeks we’ll be moving to a larger space in the same building as MakerBot Industries.
This move will bring a new age of awesomeness with more classes, public events, and hacking possibilities.
After the initial call for support we have had great success, raising over $2000. If you would like to continue supporting our efforts, contributions can be made through our kickstart page.

I love and eclectic mix of chairs around my dining room table. Almost all the chairs in my house were found in the trash with a few exceptions which came from yard sales. Some I like to paint, refinish or just leave as is!
I love to visit the home of my friends Jenny and John. They have a great house decorated with an eclectic mix of vintage stuff and very cool artwork! Both are super talented too. John is an accomplished artist and graphic designer and Jenny is great at refinishing furniture, making beautiful pillows with funky fabrics, renovating, gardening, decorating, baking... oh and she's an architect too! This past weekend I snapped this shot of her optic, mid-century glass collection. So pretty as it sits on top of a great cabinet that was stored away for years... and of course totally refinished in her style! I hope to get some more pics of their cool stuff for future posts.
The summer yard sale season was great. Lots of fun stuff and lots of pottery which is always a pleasant surprise! Mostly green and some yellow... LOVE!!! And, great prices! YAY!! Looking forward to seeing what the fall yard sales have to offer! | <urn:uuid:b3532f64-9c4a-4572-b3b7-ac842fa27ac7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://ilovecollecting10.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html | 2018-05-22T12:01:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864725.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522112148-20180522132148-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.968851 | 244 | [

The Devil's Triangle
Author:Toni De Palma
Release Date: February 15, 2013
Publisher: Crescent Moon Press
The Devil's Triangle Book #1
ISBN13: 9781939173034Genre: Young Adult
Review Copy Source: Publisher
When 17 year old Cooper dies in an attempt to burn down his school, he finds himself in the afterlife. Lucy, the Devil's sister who has crossed party lines, decides to give Cooper another shot at heaven. The deal? Cooper returns to Earth and has to find a girl named Grace. The rest is up to him.
While Cooper figures out his mission, he's thrown into the life he's always wanted. Great parents, a spot on the Varsity football team and a real future are all within reach. But what he really wants is Grace, a feisty girl with an abusive boyfriend who can pound Cooper into pulp if he doesn't watch out.
While Lucy plays demonic-puppeteer, clues to an unknown past between Cooper and Grace start to unravel. Cooper discovers that what's keeping him and Grace apart is far more sinister than anything this bad boy could have ever imagined.
Cooper is sitting around in heaven during his judgment when Lucy the Devil's sister (who has switched sides) talks everyone in to giving Cooper another shot on Earth. Only he wont be going back as himself and he needs to save a girl named Grace.
Cooper was super hot girl obsessed at the beginning and that kinda annoyed me. After he meets Grace and puts his efforts into figuring out what is going on with her and the attraction he has for her he becomes more tolerable. Grace really isn't the kind of girl Cooper would normally go after, she is more punk girl but he found himself drawn to her anyways. There are a lot of hints about why they are drawn together but you don't find out the big mystery until 1/3 of the way into the book and I certainly did not see that reveal coming. Cooper ends up being a pretty neat dude and Grace slowly opens up to past events to make the story come together.
THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE had a pretty unique concept. There was a slow start to the book and I had a bit of a hard time connecting to the story at certain points. The characters were all pretty neat and nicely written. Some things happened that I didn't really understand that hopefully will be explained better in book 2. THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE left off on a slight cliffhanger. You finally know everything about what is going on and hit a peak in the story for it to end. De Palma did a pretty good job with a male POV. I'm not sure that I would go out of my way to pick up book 2 but I liked it enough to read it if the opportunity presents itself.
I gave it 3/5 stars | <urn:uuid:7572a41d-86af-40b5-aee9-225d689963ad> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://urbanfantasyinvestigations.blogspot.com/2013_04_05_archive.html | 2018-05-22T11:48:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864725.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522112148-20180522132148-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.979517 | 592 | [

TEESSIDE’S Transporter Bridge will play a role in a global gathering next month to mark the centenary year of International Women’s Day.
The iconic bridge, which celebrates its own centenary in October, will host the Middlesbrough Cohesion Partnership’s Join Me on the Bridge event on Tuesday, March 8.
It is a global event created by Women for Women International in which women will meet on bridges across the world to symbolise their commitment to building bridges of peace and development for the future.
On the day, women will walk to a local bridge, and stand in solidarity with women standing on bridges around the world.
The event is also an opportunity to raise concerns about issues affecting women from all communities.
The message of this year’s campaign is Stronger Women Build Bridges of Peace, with the focus also on any women’s rights issues affecting the local community.
Middlesbrough Council’s Principal Community Cohesion Officer Shahda Khan said: “The Transporter is a powerful symbol for Teesside, but it is also a symbol that reminds us what we can achieve if we work together.”
For more details call Shahda Khan on 01642 729219 or email [email protected] | <urn:uuid:727bd267-5c8f-41d3-9fb7-bb769d050f1d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/local-news/women-set-to-celebrate-3683520 | 2018-05-22T12:23:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864725.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522112148-20180522132148-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.915803 | 273 | [

Day Two: Mather Beach to Northeast PointWe prepared for an early start on the second day because there were only 3 campsites at our destination on the north side of the island. We wanted to get there early in case we encountered other hikers and we now knew it wouldn't be easy to set up camp randomly if none of the designated sites were available. Beyond the last of the north sites, there wouldn't be another one for 6.5 miles, so we were counting on getting a good site on the north side. Plus, no good access to water reportedly existed along the East Rim Trail which would be our route on day 3, so we planned to stock up at North Point Beach before setting out the next morning.After oatmeal and a couple of cups of strong coffee, we headed back to Mather Beach to filter some water and refill our camelbaks and extra bottles. Not only did this provide drinking water for the day, but the ice cold water also jolted us awake. A conveniently placed boulder about 20 feet from shore served as a perfect spot to sit and dangle the filter hose into the crystal clear water.
Once packed, we decided to explore Echo Lake, an inland lake that was a half-mile east according to the trail sign. As we headed away from the main trail and into the woods, the mosquitoes gathered alarmingly fast (around me only – they weren't interested in Craig at all) and we began to question whether this side trip would be worth the suffering. One half mile later, another sign announced that Echo Lake was a half-mile ahead. We began to sense a trap and decided to retreat to the main trail asap for fear of ending up in bug cocoons like those loggers in that episode of The X-files in which Mulder and Scully end up in bug-induced intensive care.
For the most part the hike from Mather Beach to North Point followed the cliff edges and both the weather and the view were spectacular. Several overlooks along the way revealed great expanses of Lake Superior, small islands in the distance, and rock formations along the cliffs themselves. Superior's brilliant blue/green/turquoise water sparkled under the clear sky and close to shore the rocky bottom of the lake was clearly visible from 200 feet above.Much of the day's hike was a gradual uphill climb. While not over-taxing, it was just enough to wonder when it was going to stop, which it only did in brief intervals. Walking uphill for any duration of time is one thing; biking a steady incline is entirely different and we both felt much respect for the occasional mountain biker we encountered that day. I couldn't even find it in me to feel annoyed at the gentleman who decided to take a break at the exact same time and place where I was crouched behind a tree attempting to stealthily urinate. He looked nearly unconscious and Craig managed to distract him away from the woods by talking about the view from the lookout point on the other side of the trail. Once he pedaled away and I emerged from the trees we resumed the gentle uphill climb until we reached North Point.
Again, we ended up choosing the last of the 3 sites after a few miles of apprehension over the wisdom of passing up the first 2 and several moments of worry over the high cliffs and the accuracy of my notes regarding water access. At this point though, the trail began to descend and we passed North Point Beach which startled us with its unexpected expanse of sand. After setting up camp at Northeast Point, about ¾ of a mile beyond the beach, we backtracked for a much needed swim and to filter water for that evening's dinner and washing up, plus extra for the next day's drinking supply.
On the way to the beach I got distracted by the sight of a distant rock arch at the tip of North Point and stopped to take a few pictures. I told Craig to go on ahead and that I'd catch up. Naturally, the one and only bear that would present itself during the entire trip wandered out onto the trail in front of Craig during the brief moment we were separated and I wasn't there to see or photograph it. In his excitement, Craig called out to me and the bear tore off into the woods and disappeared. The only animals I managed to see that day were a mink and a garter snake.
North Point Beach was paradise. There wasn't a single other person along the entire stretch of lakeshore and although the water was shockingly cold at first, it took surprisingly little time to get accustomed to it. Altogether we ended up walking around 10 miles that day – 3 miles further than we had intended due to various detours, and certainly a workout for first time backpackers carrying relatively heavy packs. Swimming in the cold lake somehow felt invigorating and soothing at the same time and I didn't want to get out. Later, we enthusiastically enjoyed a dinner of dehydrated chicken and mashed potatoes that tasted so magnificent we declared it one of the best thing we'd ever eaten.To be continued in Grand Island: Day 3 | <urn:uuid:144e5c9e-8471-40d0-aa77-d868ec9f37fd> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.blackcoffeeatsunrise.com/2008/09/backpacking-grand-island-national.html | 2018-05-23T10:48:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865595.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523102355-20180523122355-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.975315 | 1,037 | [

I have just a bit of some original 1980s empire strikes back gift wrap left and decided to use it to make some cards last night. I love how they turned out and plan to make more with whatever scraps I have left. I'm trying to figure out where I can score some more paper like this…I really want the real deal and nothing NEW. I will be on a hunt for this, especially since my husband wanted to use the first batch we had to decoupage something for our son!
I also made some fun cards with some Jetsons candy ad pictures saved from a damaged book. They are bright and cheery and perfect for any occasion. I especially love Rosie and her lightbulb birthday cake. Wouldn't it make a perfect birthday card?
I'll be bringing this stuff along with a lot more geekery along with me to geek-kon in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend. This will not only be my first time vending at a con, it will be my first time attending one.

In a recent study from University of Queensland the statistics on a caesarean section were shared,
“Of women who gave birth in Australian hospitals in 2009, around a third (32.6%) had a caesarean section delivery. The caesarean section rate of 42.5% for women in private hospitals was higher than for women in public hospitals (28.4%).”
Whilst there is no doubt on the degree of popularity in planning a c section with the managing obstetrician, in some cases they are unplanned because the labour process gets off course or there is an emergency situation where the mother and baby are at immediate risk.
Possible reasons for an unplanned caesarean section may include:
- the baby’s head is deemed to be at risk if a natural birth could see the head becoming stuck as it passes through the pelvis during labour.
- the baby’s health is beginning to deteriorate and the baby is showing signs of distress.
- the contractions of labour are not progressing as normal and the cervix is not opening as it needs to.
- the mother’s blood pressure is too high to be able to handle labour as she needs to.
- the umbilical cord prolapses after the mother’s waters break and the baby’s source of nutrients and oxygenated blood is blocked.
- the placenta prematurely can separate from the uterine wall, known as placental abruption, resulting in excessive bleeding and decreased oxygen supply for the baby.
Communication is the key, and your managing obstetrician should be working with you to keep trust and an open communication pathway where you feel you can speak freely. It is worthwhile to explore all of the options available to possibly get the labour back on track. Have that honest conversation with your doctor and work out what the best options are for you with your labour and delivery. | <urn:uuid:a4d4b033-a90c-4bce-a65a-9582a99be452> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://drgaryswift.com.au/caesarean-section-unplanned-reasons/ | 2018-05-24T11:40:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866276.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524112244-20180524132244-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.96127 | 399 | [

Dutch Mirjam lives with her husband and 3 teenage children in this newly built terraced house. All furniture is found as a bargain or handmade. The kitchen is the favourite place in the house, here the family is found most of the time; ‘It’s a beautiful space and it has a lovely atmosphere’. Miriam is not afraid to use colour. Blue and green are absolutely her favourites. ‘For me it is more scary to paint a wall white than black’. To create a sense of balance in her interior, she groups accessories and styling items.

I have been using Act 2010 on a daily basis for several months. I have over 400 leads installed, went to access them today and my database appears to have disappeared and I'm being asked for a username and password that I've never had to do before. can you pleas offer advice :-/

Welcome to the Sage ACT! Online Community!
It's hard to determine what exactly is causing this, but here are some basic steps to try:
- Reboot computer > attempt to open database
- Ensure 'SQL Server (ACT7)' service is running, if not > start it, then attempt to open database. Here is an article with instructions: KB Article 28216
- The user name and password will be prompted if:
1. There is more than 1 active user defined to the database
2. If a password is used.
Since you hadn't been prompted for a password before, most likely there isn't one - enter variations of your name (ex: First Last, FirstLast, FirstInitial Lastname, etc.), leaving the password blank. When you opened the database to your 'My Record', the name entered on your My Record is most likely the same as your user name. | <urn:uuid:d0e4edfa-65ef-47ae-aea4-3366888a9340> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://community.act.com/t5/Act/Database-login/td-p/220764 | 2018-05-24T11:43:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866276.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524112244-20180524132244-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.94514 | 265 | [

Those months are the most hectic, yet FUN times I had with my whole family in the house..after all these years away from home..from them. Now that K.Ani, Wardina (my 1st niece) and Aleesya is back in KL..the most I can do is maybe sms, or CRY for missing them so much..hmph! living my days in denial? DOES NOT HELP!
Kak Ani, I miss you..your presence..and your girls..I miss our oh-so-sangap-layan-Fulus-Mania-nights..and our lil' shopping trip..and the times that we both can laugh about anything..*sob sob*April..hm..what happened in April??!! Wait, it's MAY already?? I better perform a preventive maintenance kinda thing on my personal time machine..how time flies..OMG!!!! Gotta think of what I did in April...NO!!!!!
Hm..I better go..I'll continue writing when I have more interesting things to tell..gotta take my shower..yes, need a long one..after 13 hours in the plant earlier today..haha! toodles!! | <urn:uuid:98413b6a-5175-470f-bd1f-a49c7e76ece6> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://dedekngegeh.blogspot.com/2007/05/im-alive.html | 2018-05-26T12:03:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526112331-20180526132331-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.953257 | 400 | [

Reuters Institute Media and Climate Change Work Featured On List of Key Publications
05 Apr 2017
Six pieces of work published by the Reuters Institute are included in a list of key books and reports on climate change and the media, published by Yale Climate Connections at Yale University.
“Media coverage of climate change has been, and remains, a significant factor in shaping public perceptions and attitudes toward the issue,” reads the two-part article.
“To provide perspective on the strange news world in which journalists and citizens now find themselves, Yale Climate Connections offers this overview of the key books and reports on media coverage of climate change.”
The list features six pieces published by the Reuters Institute, a combination of books and reports: Summoned by Science: Reporting Climate Change at Copenhagen and Beyond, Poles Apart: The International Reporting of Climate Scepticism, Climate Change and the Media: Reporting Risk and Uncertainty, Disaster Averted? Television Coverage of the 2013/14 IPCC’s Climate Change Reports and Something Old, Something New: Digital Media and the Coverage of Climate Change, all by James Painter as sole or lead author. It also includes How the Media Report Scientific Risk and Uncertainty: A Review of the Literature, by Teresa Ashe.
“To appear prominently on these lists is a strong endorsement of our international approach to analysing how the climate change ‘mega-story’ gets covered around the world,” says James Painter, RISJ’s director of the journalist fellowship programme.
“We are immensely grateful to the variety of researchers in several countries who have contributed to these books and reports, and to the funders who have supported them”. | <urn:uuid:7b099a5a-ca9b-4997-b1f8-828e46940a8f> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/risj-review/reuters-institute-media-and-climate-change-work-featured-list-key-publications | 2018-05-26T11:43:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526112331-20180526132331-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.923719 | 348 | [

Judge Declares Mistrial in Dem Sen. Menendez Corruption Trial
The corruption case against Robert Menendez ended in a mistrial after jurors were hopelessly deadlocked.
“MISTRIAL AT MENENDEZ TRIAL, defense attorney tells reporters. Menendez emerges from judge’s chambers, wraps children in a big hug. Supporters of defendants are hugging and tearing up,” tweeted State House reporter for The Record NJ.
MISTRIAL AT MENENDEZ TRIAL, defense attorney tells reporters. Menendez emerges from judge's chambers, wraps children in a big hug. Supporters of defendants are hugging and tearing up.
— Nicholas Pugliese (@nickpugz) November 16, 2017
CBS News reports:
The judge in the bribery trial for Sen. Bob Menendez has declared a mistrial, after jurors were unable to reach a verdict for more than a week.
Shortly before noon, the jurors sent a note to the judge saying they are deadlocked, as they determine the fate of the New Jersey Democratfrom wealthy donor Salomon Melgen in exchange for political influence. Menendez’ defense lawyer on Thursday asked Judge William Walls to declare a mistrial in the case, and an attorney for co-defendant Melgen asked the judge to poll the jury individually to confirm the deadlock. Federal prosecutors asked Walls to give the jury and to give them partial verdict instructions, but Walls said he wouldn’t do that. | <urn:uuid:f2cc5cf4-7765-4559-9d8a-33679aa7b6e5> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/11/breaking-judge-declares-mistrial-dem-sen-menendez-corruption-trial/ | 2018-05-26T12:28:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526112331-20180526132331-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.931329 | 301 | [

The Web Site System
The Web site system is a two part system; a front end web site for use by the public and a dedicate Admin Panel to manage and update the public front end. The Public site, Admin Panel and supporting data are hosted on your domain for maximum security and performance; no external server is required to run the Public site or Admin Panel.
The Public facing bureau site or ‘Front End’ is fully compliant with current web standards and legal requirements; please visit the Technical section to discover more information about the software design and installation requirements.
Current figures indicate continued growth in people accessing web sites via mobile phones and tablets. We are also aware that is some cases Internet connectivity may be poor; free WIFI zones, limited Mobile Internet coverage and some broadband connections can be painfully slow.
- The Public front end is both fluid and responsive; it will display correctly and quickly regardless of the screen size
- The site is optimised; with less to load pages open more quickly
- Direct, clear navigation and Intelligent Search to help site user locate information quickly; unnecessary page visits can be frustrating on a slow connection.
The site style is based on traditional *Citizens Advice yellow and blue to provide consistency to the user. If preferred, we can include the new *branding as soon as the colour scheme and logo are officially launched.
The page count and final design of pages in the Public web site are determined by individual Bureaux but each site we supply comes with core pages that are either updated via the Admin Panel or that update automatically
Most information found in the header and footer of every page such as email address, phone and registered office can be updated centrally, forcing an instant site-wide change.
Pages with dedicated manager in Admin Panel
- Home page – Main page banners and content can be edited
- Contact Us – Additional Bureaux and Outreaches can be added anytime; map markers are automatically plotted for all new locations
- Documents & Reports – Upload and categorise documents such as financial statements, annual reports, advice information and forms. Drag and sorting ensures that the documents display in the desired order.

Standard Pages editable content
- Layout, content and style can be edited on all standard inner pages such as About Us, Volunteer, Donate etc using a friendly, easy to use drag & drop Page Manager
*A licence is required to use Citizens Advice branding; please contact Citizens Advice for further information.
Intelligent Advice Search
*Intelligent Advice Search now updated to search citizensadvice.org.uk
Our research revealed that many Bureau Web sites provide an online Advice section. In most cases advice relies on static links to relevant information on the Adviceguide.org.uk Website. Although this method certainly works, it is neither efficient for a Bureau to maintain and in many cases, for clients to use.
The main drawback with this method is that unless these links are updated manually the information may be out of date or indeed incorrect; in some cases the linked page may have been removed completely or renamed.
The practice of using hard links can require significant maintenance. A further issue is that a bureau Website typically provides only a small subset of Advice Guide information which clearly can cover only limited situations.
Our approach provides an Advice Guide search function fully integrated into your bureau Website. The Advanced search system allows bureau Website users to search Advice Guide directly and return all relevant information; the user is not required to leave the Bureau site.
User experience is much improved and often less frustrating as this approach vastly cuts down the amount of page visits required to locate relevant information. Reducing unnecessary page visits is particularly important for users with accessibility issues, mobile internet users in poor coverage areas and other users with slow Internet connections.
- Rapid system searches the entire range of Advice Guide information
- Self updating links, no manual editing or upkeep required
- Helps clients find relevant informant information quickly
- Information is always current
The search system works very much like Goggle; a bureau Website user selects the search term or phrase which then returns up to date and accurate links from Advice Guide. This system does not store any data from Advice Guide, it retrieves fresh and up to information every search.
Packages & Requirements
Please visit Technical Info section to discover more information about the software design and installation requirements.

- Highly optimised for Mobile devices and slower Internet Connections
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) Compliant
- Fully Fluid
- SEO Friendly
The underlying structure and style of site meet the latest standards (HTML 5 & CSS3). Compliance also ensures there are no errors in either document. The benefits of compliance include
- Increased Browser cross-compatibility
- Better Device cross-compatibility
- Better rendering for screen readers and for other Accessibly aids
- Improves SEO
Increased Browser cross-compatibility means that the Website is more likely to work correctly on different web browsers such Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari etc.
Device cross-compatibility is the same but this concerns site appearance across portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets.
Screen readers and other accessibly aids work much better when the structure of the site is compliant. Errors in the site structure can make screen reader output unpredictable; images without ‘Alt’ tags means that users with impaired vision may not understand the context of images.
SEO means Search Engine Optimisation; in this case the search engines (Goggle, Bing, Yahoo etc) can understand the site better because the site structure is compliant.
Highly optimised for Mobile devices and slower Internet Connections
All pages are highly optimised which means they will load quickly on slower connections. All images are compressed to minimise download time; our servers then automatically compress all pages to ensure they open quickly.
Local Browser caching is also fully implemented to save unnecessary page downloads and to increase site performance.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) Compliant
This Website was built to conform to level A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These guidelines set out how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.
Fluid Design ensures that regardless of screen size, the site will scale proportionally. The site will display correctly on a Smart phone, Tablet, Laptop or Desktop and will also retain original proportions.
Responsive design is based on browser detection or the screen size. Certain page elements are activated programmatically depending on the viewing device capabilities. A good example is a large home page banner; this can be excluded or displayed subject to the detected screen size; the banner would display incorrectly on a mobile phone and thus is automatically excluded.
SEO means search engine optimisation; this is the process of ensuring a Website can interface easily with search engines like Goggle, Bing and Yahoo. An optimised site will help the site perform better in search results simply because search engines find it easy to reference.
Optimisation methods include:
- Compliant site structure, HTML and CSS helps Search Engines to navigate and reference
- Optimised images with ALT tags
- Correct use of URL, Page Title, Meta Tags and Robots txt
- An XML site map
Further optimisation is carried out as content is added. This includes keywords, strong page urls, Anchor texts etc.
At present the Web site template requires a Linux/Apache hosting environment which is a very common hosting package. The system is predominately coded using PHP and requires PHP version 5.3.10 or above. No database is required but PHP support for SQLite must be enabled.
- A Linux/Apache hosting environment
- PHP 5.3.10 or above with SQLite support enabled (enabled is default)
- No database requirements - Less to maintain and administer
We may create a Windows/ISS version in the future; please contact us if you prefer Windows server version.
Our package includes initial configuration of your domain and all on-going server maintenance. As we have direct control of the servers, we insure all updates and security patches are installed.
Our hardware is a modern Quad Core platform with ultra fast SSD drives to ensure web pages load in record time. If server performance dips due to a large number of site users, loads can be balanced across the infrastructure to maintain normal performance.
The hosting package also include a dedicated IP address, SSL certificate and configuration of a secure site which helps maximise the security and privacy of Website users. A padlock will be displayed on pages with contact or other forms which reassures users that data sent via the Website is secure.
Our service provider, Tagadab is a hosting, virtualisation and dedicated server arm of the Claranet Group, one of Europe’s leading managed server providers who we have used all to host all of our off-site servers since 2008. Their uptime is staggering and their support is truly first class.
- Hosted in a UK data centre
- Secure hosting; servers exclusively dedicated to CAB Web sites and services
- Super fast Quad Core CPU servers with high speed SDD hard drives
- Dedicated IP Address per Bureau

Pricing & Demo
We will only supply this template system and pricing information to an official Citizens Advice Bureau. Please use this form to request pricing information and if required, arrange an free online demonstration with your basic Bureau information pre completed. Aside from giving you a very good idea how the finished site will look, you can evaluate advance features in the Admin panel.

The drive to design this template and supporting system was inspired after reviewing a series of quotes on behalf of a Bureau looking to update their Website. On the whole the quotes were packed with impressive technical jargon and much inflated prices. Others were unsuitable as there was no support for Mobile phone and tablet users.
Current UK and EU legislation regarding Privacy and Accessibly were omitted. In some cases basic security was overlooked as communication from site users was not encrypted at all. Some sites relied on complex 3rd party frameworks such as Joomla and Wordpress; not that easy to manage and update.
With this in mind we decided to create an advanced Web template based on a custom light-weigh framework that ticks all the boxes and at a moderate cost. | <urn:uuid:5c4b224a-c567-479e-abe4-d3d399f174af> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://comintel.co.uk/citizens-advice-website/index.php | 2018-05-27T11:52:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868248.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527111631-20180527131631-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.872893 | 3,335 | [

There are plenty of places to look for wedding hair and beauty inspiration. Pinterest, of course, reigns above all, because not only can you search the platform for seemingly endless ideas, you can also save them to boards aptly named things like "wedding beauty" or "big day looks." You can also lose hours to scrolling through Instagram, as there are hashtags galore related to weddings. You can go old school and look through bridal magazines, if you wish. However, you can also go a little non-traditional and find your dream look on the models who walk the runway of some of your fave designers.
Though it's true that many runway looks the models can pull off are interesting to look at but don't necessarily translate for us mere regular folks, designer Naeem Khan's recent Fall 2018 bridal show served up some serious inspiration for future brides. His models walked down the runway all wearing similar-yet-different updos that featured not only gorgeous flowers, but intricately beaded veils cascading down the napes of their necks and shoulders.
Some of them had their hair completely slicked back in the front while others featured a side part, so you can play around with the style at your will. It's also safe to say this look could work with nearly any type of bangs. It's an updo that will look gorgeous with nearly any wedding look, from the most glamorous of dresses to the simplest of suits.

SCCER - Efficient Technologies and Systems for Mobility (SCCER-Mobility)The Swiss Competence Center on Efficient Technologies and Systems for Mobility SCCER-Mobility seeks to develop the knowledge and technologies essential for the transition of the current transportation system to a sustainable one, featuring minimal CO2-output and primary energy demand as well as virtually zero pollutant emissions.
The goal of «Energy Economic Modelling» in the Capacity Area B2.3 is to carry out integrated analysis of the Swiss transportation system and other energy sectors. This is achieved by whole energy system approach with 1) high level of technology detail to identify future energy pathways; and 2) long time horizon to account for long-term goals and long lifetimes of energy-related infrastructure. We account for intra-annual variations in supply and demand, which is critical for evaluating the deployment of intermittent renewables, electrification of transportation and heating, and an emerging need for storage. We undertake what-if type scenarios analysis to understand long term transition of the Swiss mobility to meet the goals of the 2050 Swiss Energy Strategy.
Transport module of the Swiss TIMES Energy Systems Model (STEM)The transport sector covers ten modes (e.g. cars, buses, rails, and trucks) and range of existing / future vehicle technologies with a diverse drivetrains /fuels. It includes pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), charging of which is possible when the cars are not on road.
Car fleet outlook in 2050
Base scenario includes nuclear phase out and self-sufficiency (i.e. no net import) in electricity supply. T40 and T60 are scenarios to meet the transport sector CO2 emissions by 40% and 60% by 2050. S60 and S67 are low carbon energy scenarios with a system wide CO2 emission reduction of 60% and 67%, respectively, by 2050.

We think we are now past the worst patches in the Southern Ocean, areas where accidents which have happened to the likes of Isabelle Autissier, and the loss of good men such as Harry Mitchell and Gerry Roufs, suggest that the sea can be at its cruellest.
Having got past the area south-west of Cape Leeuwin, LG FLATRON was the first of the BT Global Challenge yachts to weather the isolated French Kerguelen Islands over the weekend. After three weeks of marching through the lines of longitude with our bows pointing at the mark for an uncommonly high proportion of the time, the Kerguelens were not going to make our passage straightforward.
We got the full works from Southern Ocean central casting: a belter of a breeze topping out at 55 knots; the mainsail down for the second time this leg; and seas which were big, bruising and malevolent. One thinks back to the previous Vendee Globe solo race four years ago and ‘That Picture’, the photograph captured by the Australian Air Force of Thierry Dubois standing on his upturned hull, the Southern Ocean lapping his ankles and the nearest solid land 4km away – downwards.
For the most part, the Southern Ocean is a seriously deep mass of water. The choke point at Cape Horn is well-known; less appreciated is the effect of the ocean floor at the Kerguelens, thrown-up Alp-like from soundings of 4,000m to as little as 11m. The wayline mark of the course kept the fleet coralled north of the worst of this shoal water, some 150 miles north of the islands, but there was still no mistaking the shallow water effect as the waves got on to a slow, rolling boil, their fetch unimpeded for mile after mile. As FLATRON’s skipper Conrad Humphreys observed: “This is quite probably the longest fetch in the world.”
Some were plain large, others downright awkward; the total effect was not one of neatly formed-up ranks of waves but rather those impossibly tempestuous seas which artists have painted over the centuries, usually of Naval or trading vessels returning galllantly to ports such as Lisbon or Venice. How they knew such waves existed on the other side of the world is one of life’s irrelevant mysteries, but you do wonder.
On FLATRON such seas made us more circumspect. One of the trademarks of Humphreys’ team is knowing the sail combinations well and shifting gears ceaselessly. But in such heavy going, the rig was more conservative than at any any time in the three weeks since leaving Sydney. And for only the second this leg, did we make big bearaways during sail changes to take the sting out of the raging torrent coming across the fordeck and the extravagant head-throwing of the bow, though not before several sickening batterings were meted out to the foredeck team. The rest of the fleet must have been even more deferential since our remorseless gain on our 11 rivals not only remained unchecked but even accelerated.
With two-thirds of the leg completed, our lead amounts to a really useful 200 miles. “That’s equivalent to two or three big stops in these boats,” said Humphreys’ number two, Cian McCarthy. Prophetic. After finally making some westing on the islands, high pressure moved in and the wind moved out. Where these Challenge yachts impress in the 50/15 zone – that’s storm force winds and high seas- they labour asthmatically in the light stuff.
For FLATRON’S skipper this will be a patience-testing time. Deprived of decent Met info drawn down from the internet because of our crashed Sat B, he’s got to cover the fleet on the basis of a few paltry weather faxes.
“After the Kerguelans yachts such as Compaq (2nd overall) might be more bold in their tactics and it will be harder to see what they are doing,” he said. To hold our lead into Cape Town and keep Compaq buried in mid-fleet is objective number one. To do so would relieve FLATRON of nearly all pressure on the final two legs and heap it onto Will Oxley’s team as their focus will shift to defending their place from the | <urn:uuid:228959d7-6c64-4ecf-858c-882be44c7006> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.yachtingworld.com/news/past-the-bruising-seas-58689 | 2018-05-20T13:54:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863570.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180520131723-20180520151723-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.964036 | 921 | [

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski gives the State of the City address at the Horizonte Instruction and Training Center on Wednesday.
Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski proposed a half-penny city sales tax increase to help fund initiatives on housing, transportation, road repair, public safety and the environment in her third State of the City address Wednesday.
The $35 million in projected additional revenue from the half-percentage-point increase, which the mayor noted was equal to a nickel for every $10 spent, could be paired with $87 million in new capital investment if voters approve a bond this year. The mayor said borrowing of that size would cost about $5 annually per household.
“For the first time, Salt Lake City has a robust transit master plan, a housing plan and an in-depth understanding of our infrastructure needs,” Biskupski told a crowd of 300 people at the Horizonte Instruction and Training Center, a nontraditional high school. “We have a clean energy plan, with goals focused on helping us preserve the water, land and air.”
She added: “These funding options create a unique opportunity to fully implement these plans, giving Salt Lake City the ability to control its own destiny. With all of this in place, now is the time for us to fully invest in the future of our city.”
The city’s sales tax is 6.85 percent. The Legislature cleared the way for a possible tax hike in 2015, when the state was deciding where build a new prison. Lawmakers voted to give the eventual host city optional authority to raise its sales tax. A site in Salt Lake City was selected that August.
Unlike the bond issue, which would require majority approval by voters, the tax increase could be enacted with the support of the mayor and the OK of the City Council, although the mayor pledged an outreach campaign to “gauge the public’s interest in activating this sales tax option.”
The mayor laid out her case for the increase in the first half of her 34-minute speech, noting affordable-housing initiatives approved last year and the approved transit master plan that aims to address longstanding gaps in local service.
She cited a 5.8 percent drop in city crime in 2017 over the previous year and highlighted the 50 new police officers who are to be hired this year, in part to relieve resource and staffing burdens stemming from the ongoing Operation Rio Grande anti-crime push.
On the plus side of the ledger, she cited efforts by the economic development office she created to attract what she said was nearly $1 billion in capital investment and new businesses that will create 6,000 new jobs. She noted new solar installations on city facilities, new city-funded charging stations for electric vehicles, and plans to replace century-old water and sewer lines on 1300 East over the next two years. The water lines serve more than half of city residents.
And she cited what could be a $200 million, 10-year investment to repair the city’s roads. A study last summer found that two-thirds of the city’s street grid was in poor condition or worse.
After the speech, City Council Chairwoman Erin Mendenhall said the sales tax increase was a “very attractive option,” given the city’s needs and tax options. The council is expected to begin public discussions on the matter next week.
“There is no other revenue stream,” she said, “that we will be able to consider that draws taxes from everyone who comes to Salt Lake City, not only our residents, as a property tax increase will do.”
Fourth District Councilman Derek Kitchen said the new tax revenue would allow the city ”to not only catch up on almost a decade worth of deferred maintenance on our roads but to start addressing serious issues like air quality through transit, and potentially housing and public safety as well.” | <urn:uuid:1bc17534-e67b-4f12-9e39-8cfc4a647ad8> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.vcaengineers-inc.com/salt-lake-city-mayor-jackie-biskupski-proposes-half-penny-hike-in-sales-tax-to-fund-housing-transit-and-road-plans/ | 2018-05-21T15:04:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864405.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521142238-20180521162238-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.956134 | 824 | [

There is an inconspicuous room tucked away under my grandparent’s garage that has affectionately been termed, “The Library”. The unremarkable exterior is deceptive in its appearance, never alluding to the fact that opening the door reveals a tavern of history; ancient battleships adorn the walls while ship’s badges and artefacts, accumulated throughout the endeavours of a memorable and fulfilling naval career, decorate the vast bookcase covering the back wall. It was in this treasure trove of a room that an idea for a topic hit me.
I was polishing up an ancient, rickety, Gothic-style bookcase that stood coated in dust and skulking in the shadows of one corner when I happened to take a closer look at its contents. There behind the misty glass gleamed the gold embossed pages and peeling leather spines of a collection of ninth edition Encyclopædia Britannica volumes. Curiosity getting the better of me, I wiggled open the glass and was subsequently plunged deep into a bygone era of aeronautics and Napoleon, immersing myself in the most up-to-date facts that were deemed important to life in the late 1800s.
I have since enquired about the origin of the imposing bookcase in question, discovering that both the bookcase and the books originally belonged to my great-great-great Grandfather FW Mills who, on his death, passed them on to his first born son who in turn passed them on to his first born grandchild, my maternal Granny. She particularly remembers being five years old and sitting in the study of Marico, her grandparents’ house in Sea Point, on the knee of her “Oupa Frikkie” and paging through the entry on apes, being fascinated by the detailed diagrams. My Gran then vividly recalls the scene in which she received ownership of these intellectual treasures and their accompanying behemoth-esque bookcase. It was the early 1960s in the naval settlement of Da Gama Park when her Aunt Scrappy and Uncle Bill could be seen trundling up the hill in a little old Austin. As a result of its heavy cargo, its wheels almost splayed giving the impression of coming in on its haunches.
At this point, after closely examining the Mills family tree, I veered sharply off chasing a different train of thought to research the 1820 Settlers. Both the Sir George Osborn and the Nautilus carried my ancestors from England to the then Cape Colony. The Sir George Osborn provided passage for Daniel Mills III (my 5x great Grandfather heading up the Mills party with his wife Martha) while the Nautilus ferried his son Daniel Mills (founder of Daniel Mills & Sons) and his wife Ellen Owen. Nautilus seems to have featured quite consistently in our family. My great Granny Norah Mills used it to christened her home, when at school my Mom and her siblings were randomly assigned to Nautilus House (named, along with Chapman and Aurora, in honour for the ships carrying the settlers to the Cape), and my Grandpa (a lieutenant at the time and married to one of Granny Norah’s daughters) captained the “Ford” class seaward defence boat, SAS Nautilus
(HMS Glassford), in 1955 on her voyage from Britain to join the ranks of the South African Navy. More recently (2008), the Nautilus was privately procured and converted into a luxurious yacht.
There are so many different interweaving threads to this story that I battle to focus on a single thread in isolation, as I dig deep into the past and explore the history of one topic I pick up the trail of three others and end up completely confused and in need of a nap! So, getting back on track…
I listened to the crack of the dusty old spine as I heaved open one of the weighty volumes, discovering a long since forgotten reminder, to take a closer look at the Schools of Painting entry, and an old photograph of what looks to be a turbine component of a mill. As I dove further into the stack, I uncovered delicately folded tissue paper hidden between the thick yellowing pages and swathing heavily compressed ferns and flowers still rich with pigment. Further still and a Scottish Widows’ Fund bookmark, depicting A Hostage by E. Alverez Dumont, fell to my feet. Upon investigation I discovered that this vintage item is available on E-Bay and worth an astonishing £ 2.50! I like to think that these small discovered elements are snapshots of a more personal history enshrined within the history projected from these antique pages and no less important. I spent the remainder of the rainy afternoon surrounded by musty history, absorbing fervent tales of expedition and adventure, discoveries and battles, and thrilling descriptions of creatures and events fuelling an already active imagination.
The books themselves are remarkable, before even opening a cover there is a great deal of history to be learned and appreciated from these books, not just the path that they have taken from 1898 to 2015 where they have ended up sprawled haphazardly across my desk but the information that can be gleaned from their design and the materials used to compile them. The golden crest festooning the black leather cover is similar to the coat of arms of Great Britain with the dictum of the Monarch emblazoned on unfurled ribbon at the base of the crest, Dieu et mon droit – “God and my right” (the use of which dates back to the battlefields stormed by Richard I). The motto inscribed on the garter encircling the shield, Honi soit qui mal y pense, is Old French with a literal translation of “Shame be to him who thinks evil of it”.
The edition itself is noteworthy, first published from 1875 to 1889 (this copy was reprinted in 1898) by A & C Black in Edinburgh and lauded as a landmark in scientific content and as such christened the “Scholar’s Edition”. This set comprised approximately 1 100 contributors, including a handful of celebrities often thought to be outrageous for their questioning of the conventional opinions of their time. These included Thomas Henry Huxley (a comparative anatomist known as “Darwin’s Bulldog” for his unwavering public support of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution), John William Strutt (Lord Rayleigh, a physicist won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904 for co-discovering Argon) and William Michael Rossetti (writer and poet who was one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848). Even Robert Louis Stevenson (the famous Scottish novelist responsible for epics such as Treasure Island among others), at the tender age of 25, contributed an article about Robert Burns that was thought to be too apathetic to be included (Wells 1968). Another astounding detail that should not be overlooked is the fact that a small number of the contributors were women and that this edition was the first to include a significant article about women; Women, Law Relating To.
It seems that media piracy is not a modern issue reserved purely for a pre-emptive strike on the release of the latest movies and games to hit our screens; it appears that it was rife in the 1800s with several hundred thousand pirated copies flooding the US market at $ 5 per volume. 8 500 sets were sold in Britain with a further 45 000 being produced in America at $ 9 per volume. American production of the encyclopaedia was made possible after the Edinburgh-based publishing house shipped the stereotype plates for text and graphics, along with specifications for colour, tanning quality and bindings etc., across the Atlantic in time for a simultaneous release. In a five volume supplement, the US versions included biographies and geographic information, not mentioned in the British volumes, specifically pertaining to the American way of life. Due to the fact that copyright law had not yet provided protection for foreign publications in America, a spy was implanted into the Edinburgh print factory to steal the proof-reader’s copies and speedily ship them to the US to be published concurrently with the legitimate volumes. In addition, a pirated photographic reproduction could be obtained for $ 2.50 per volume (Wells 1968).
Due to the difficulties encountered in keeping information up-to-date before publication, Encyclopædia Britannica announced in 2012 that its 2010 edition would be its last printed volume converting instead to a digital format. As a result of advancements in technology, the information available to us these days has changed drastically, not only in quality and type but also in its ease of access. Because of the way in which information has previously been compiled, in conjunction with the way in which society has been organised in the past, access to it has been limited. A significant power has now been presented to a large majority of the global population through the provision of a level of information that would previously have been reserved for specific societal groups, men and a select few in the upper classes. Nowadays any person with a smartphone or access to a computer has a world of regularly updated information instantaneously at their disposal. Access to information has quite justly become a right rather than a privilege. The ability to check the reliability of information has been provided through the sheer number of available sources, to a certain degree the days of governments and corporations manipulating the information filtering through to the masses are gone (well maybe not if you are a conspiracy theorist or live in North Korea). I sadly noticed that Auschwitz got a mention of a mere seven lines with its claim to fame at the time being the seat of a dukedom. Now, with that innocence snatched away by the atrocities that occurred there, it appears forth in the Google list of suggested search items for the typed letters of “aus” and produces 19.3 million results.
I digress; back to the stories sprawled across the yellowing pages found within the heavy black leather covers…
One of the first things that immediately struck me when paging through the various volumes was what constituted the content of an encyclopaedia in those days. Consulting an encyclopaedia today reveals entries covering only the salient facts, the writing of which are lacking in any substantial depth and detail. This could almost certainly be attributed to the fact that the amount of information that requires documenting today has grown exponentially in size. No longer is it possible to include 23 pages on the history of aeronautics (the discoveries of the time mainly constituting the balloon), 11 pages on abbeys (including ground plans and history spanning Westminster to St Gall), 128 pages on agriculture,
109 pages on anatomy (excluding digestive, respiratory, reproductive and urinary systems), 15 pages on capillary action or 68 pages on infinitesimal calculus. Even livestock estimates of an 1875 Cape Colony have been meticulously detailed. Another aspect that could be responsible for this shift in content is the fact that the level of knowledge expected from the general public far exceeds that of 140 years ago partially signified by the popularity of board-games such as Trivial Pursuit and more recently 30 Seconds.
Reading the entries contained within the ninth edition brought the 1800s to life, there are intriguing stories smattered with colourful characters and anecdotal accounts, which could quite easily have been from a Mrs Brown down the road, used to substantiate some concept or phenomenon. It is astonishing how many of the discoveries were achieved through merely the art of observation and a selection of relatively rudimentary instruments. The Anatomy entry had me marvelling at the numerous detailed diagrams and outraged by the comments under the title, Mass and Weight of the Brain. It was the general consensus of the time that the size and mass of a brain was directly proportional to the level of intelligence enjoyed by its person resulting in inferences being formulated with regards to gender and race. Due to the fact that the heaviest brains were found to reside in the white races it was inaccurately concluded that the Europeans must be the most superior race and as male brains were found to be on average 10 % heavier than that of females they were crowned the more intelligent gender. It was however observed and subsequently documented in the Britannica, using brains obtained from the West Riding Asylum, that the brains of the insane exhibited “high brain weights”.
A few quotes stood out and grabbed my attention…
“No case has yet been recorded of the weight of a brain in a woman possessing intellectual eminence; but Boyd met with a woman’s brain as high as 55.25 oz., and many instances of upwards of 50 oz. in women where there was no evidence of high mental endowment.”
“The size and weight of the brain do not therefore, per se, give an exact method of estimating the intellectual power of an individual, and a high brain weight and a great intellectual capacity are not necessarily correlated with each other.”
In the same breath, however, the following is mentioned:
“It seems certain, if the human brain, even amongst the most uncultivated peoples, falls below 30 oz., which this low weight is not merely incompatible with intellectual power and activity, but is invariably associated with idiocy and imbecility; so that the human brain has a minimum weight below which intellectual action is impossible. Amongst the more cultivated races the minimum weight-limit of intelligence is, however, in all probability higher than 30 oz.”
“The conclusions which may legitimately be drawn from an analysis of Barnard Davis’s observations are as follows:
- The average brain weight is considerably higher in the civilised European than in the savage races
- The range of variation is much greater in the former than the latter
- There is an absence, almost complete, of specimens heavier than 54 oz. in the exotic races, so that the higher terms of the series are not represented
- Though the male brains are heavier than the female, there is not the same amount of differences between the two sexes in the uncultivated as in the cultivated peoples.”
I am truly thankful that science, for the most part, has progressed from allowing this type of narrow-minded view of the world to influence its hypotheses and findings.
As a scientist, I possess an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, I attempt to explain the unexplainable, and in so doing am sometimes guilty of explaining away the mystery that so fascinates me and was the source that initially drew me into the world of science. I relish the fact that there are still inexplicable phenomena to be found across the globe and in the far reaches of the universe, beyond our earthly realms. I still find wonder in nature; be it under a pebble or in a rock-pool, in the branches of a century-old yellowwood or a morning spent beachcombing, witnessing the flourishing recovery of a mountain after a fire or just the feel of the north wind on my face (the South-Easter just puts me, along with the rest of Cape Town, in a foul mood!). I am still (and always will be) fascinated by the strength and power displayed by Mother Nature.
Reading the articles covering the various aspects of natural history highlighted the fact that in the days of the 1800s, the world was still considered to be full of mystery and intrigue and anyone venturing across their conservative borders to plunge into the unknown realms of uncharted expanses was synonymous with intrepid, fearless and celebrated explorers. Imagining myself as a child in the late 1880s, sitting crossed legged on the floor surrounded by these newly purchased tomes and reading about sea serpents, my imagination fires to life with thoughts of adventures across the majestic Seven Seas and the mighty jungles of the great Amazon. The names of the animals alone are enough to pique one’s fascination. Feathered camel, sea devil and sea wolf are the names listed for ostrich, angler fish and a species of blenny now known as an Atlantic wolffish. Even the simple story of how the secretary bird ended up with such as obscure name warrants a mention. François Le Vaillant described in his 1804 works a bird known in the Cape of Good Hope as “the Sagittarius or the Archer, from its striding gait being thought to resemble that of a bowman advancing to shoot”. Not only was its name subsequently corrupted into that of Secretarius but evidence was provided by Le Vaillant to show that in 1719 this bird had been described but mistaken, by a “bad naturalist”, for a pelican that was just as easily confused with a spoonbill!
Since this post is titled “Evolution of Knowledge”, my first mission was to search for anything relating to evolution and Charles Darwin and even though “Origin of the Species” had already been published in 1859, the only Darwin to be mentioned in this edition is Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802), the famous Charles Darwin’s great-uncle. Charles Darwin, and his theories on evolution, had to wait until after his death for recognition to be bestowed on him by Encyclopædia Britannica. While Evolution was mentioned for the first time in this edition (as a result of Darwin’s writings), it was still deemed to be a radical concept that should be treated with the utmost suspicion and therefore had to wait until the eleventh edition to be sufficiently detailed. Interestingly enough, the only volume missing from this ninth edition set is the one containing the article, Evolution, and it has been missing since as far back as anyone living can remember. Not being able to uncover anything ground-breaking with regards to related topics, I decided to swing across the spectrum to the mystical and fantastical.
One of my favourite articles is most definitely that of the mighty Sea-Serpent. The quoted descriptions penned by Norse writers and the declaration by the zoological experts of the time, “There is still a residuum sufficient to prevent modern zoologists from denying the possibility that some such creature may after all exist”, was enough to get me hooked on the concept and attempt to dig up as much information as possible on the subject. The explanations provided by Britannica, in an attempt to refute the claims that the Seven Seas were ruled by a Kraken-style beast, included the following:
- “A number of porpoises swimming one behind the other
- A flock of sea-fowl in flight
- A large mass of seaweed (on more than one occasion has been cautiously approached and harpooned under the impression that it was a monster)
- A pair of basking sharks swimming one following the other to produce a creature
60 ft. long with 4 fins
- A ribbonfish, attaining a length of 20 ft.
- A gigantic squid
- A plesiosaurus, or some other huge marine reptiles usually believed to be extinct, might certainly have produced the phenomena described, granting the possibility of one having survived to the present time.”
While the most plausible explanation would seem to be the gigantic squid (taking into account the concept of shifting baselines and the effects of trophy hunting on size), various zoologists of the time supported the plesiosaurus theory often citing evidence in its favour. Such evidence included a report from Captain Hope of HMS Fly in the Gulf of California of a “creature with the body of an alligator, a long neck and four paddles”. A huge snake was recorded as being seen by the crew of the merchant vessel Pauline in the South Atlantic in 1875, “coiled twice round a large sperm whale and towering in the air before finally dragging it to the depths”.
My imagination was again captured, this time by the magic encompassed by the Aurora Polaris (a French term for Polar Dawn) article. It covered the various myths and legends connected to the A. Australis (Southern Dawn) and A. Borealis (Northern Dawn) phenomenon. With the earliest mention occurring in 688, the lively imaginations of the Ancients shaped them into aerial conflicts of clans at war,
“Fierce fiery warriors fight upon the clouds
In ranks, and squadrons, and right form of war”.
Crimson auroras have often been imagined by the superstitious to be omens of war, pestilence and famine but throughout history every group of people has had their own term, interpretation and legend for these ethereal dancing polar lights. The Aurora Ancients characterised them according to their forms and colours; chasmata (from the Romans for their resemblance to the mouths of celestial caves), bolides (from the French for the extremely bright darts that resemble meteors that explode in the atmosphere) and trabes (beams). It is thought that early dragon legends of China originated from the Aurora, Chu-Long being Ancient Chinese for “candle dragon” and Thien lieh being Old Chinese for “cracks in Heaven”. In Ceylon they were known as “Buddha Lights”, in the Shetlands “Merry Dancers, by the Eskimos as Sélamuit (sky dwellers), “Dance of the Dead” by the North American Indians and “Dancing Gods” by the Australian Aborigines (Eather 2013). The scientific theory presented in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica was the electric hypothesis, the one “generally accepted by scientific men” and the one that “furnishes a plausible explanation of the phenomenon”. It was thought that the Aurora phenomenon was simply as a result of an electrical discharge in the upper atmosphere although it was noted that this theory left aspects of the mystery unsatisfactorily explained. The meteoric hypothesis, proposed by Dr Zehfuss and HJH Groneman of Gröningen, had not yet been accepted and was still being viewed with a great deal of suspicion as there was “no evidence that meteoric dust (even if it does exist) would produce this phenomenon”. The origin of iron particles found at the poles was still being questioned with the general consensus being that of volcanic rather than “stellar space”.
Being a marine biologist at heart, one of the first articles I looked up was the Atlantic Ocean, the opening statement grabbing my attention. The boundaries of this watery mass were still, it seems, being determined. “The designation Atlantic Ocean, originally given to the sea that lies beyond the great range of Atlas in North-western Africa, has come to be applied, with the extension of geographical knowledge, to the whole of that vast ocean which occupies the wide and deep trough that separates the New from the Old World”. Jeez and I thought my sentences were long! In the discussion headed Dimensions of the Atlantic, the deepest depth documented at that time was from the “recent Challenger soundings”, provided by the Challenger Expedition that was still on-going at the time (1872-1876), and clocked in at
3 875 fathoms (4.4 miles or 7 086.6 m). On the 23 March 1875 the then thought to be deepest point of the ocean was measured at 8 184 m, the Mariana Trench and Challenger Deep having yet to be discovered. Modern soundings in the vicinity of the Challenger measurements have uncovered depths of up to 10 916 m.
Without the use of yellow rubber duckies, General Ocean Circulation was not an accepted concept of that time. Now known as the “Global Ocean Conveyer Belt” driven by both temperature and salinity (thermohaline circulation), in the 1800s it was understood as being driven strictly by temperature only. In 1845 Professor Lenz of St Petersburg concluded that “the whole of the deeper portion of the great ocean-basins in communication with the polar areas is occupied by polar water, which is constantly, though slowly, flowing towards the equator; whilst conversely the whole upper stratum of equatorial water is as constantly, though slowly, flowing towards one or both of the poles”. He even goes on to specifically describe the “existence of a belt of water under the equator, colder than that which lies either north or south of it, as an evidence that polar water is there continually rising from beneath towards the surface, a phenomenon which, he considered, admits of no other explanation”. Regardless of his findings, the scientific community awarded prevalence to the doctrine of Sir James Ross of a uniform deep-sea temperature of 39 ̊F (3.9 ̊C). This did not take into account the immense pressure, present at these great depths, being exerted on the instruments and as such negatively influencing the readings. I have barely scratched the surface in my analysis of the information presented as scientific fact for the Atlantic Ocean but as I am about to hop over on to my ninth page, I reckon I should move on to my last thought, the Pacific Ocean.
My immediate impression was that there was more information available at the time for the Pacific Ocean than the Atlantic Ocean, 17 pages vs. 13 pages. On closer inspection it was mainly miniscule details on currents and temperature recordings for just about every location from Macquarie Island to Cape Horn. The article’s opening statement, however, was enough to get me intrigued; “The ancient world was ignorant of the existence of the vast expanse of water now known as the Pacific Ocean”. Referring to its existence, it is further written that; “For several hundred years the reports continued so uncertain, and were so loaded with the wild extravagance of travellers’ tales of the period, that it is difficult to get the facts from which they probably took their origin”. While there is a huge amount of information to sift through, a couple of things did stand out for me. The first being ooze. Apparently there were four types of “ooze”; globigerina, pteropod, diatom and radiolarian; that were discovered in different oceans and at different depths. To say that I was intrigued would be an understatement! I was hugely disappointed to find that this mysterious ooze was merely a term given to “all those truly pelagic deposits containing over 40 per cent of carbonate of lime which consisted principally of the dead shells” of pelagic species. A great deal of attention was given to the two major coastlines forming the terrestrial boundaries of the Pacific, with special mention of the abundance of islands and volcanoes dotting its vast expanse. Reading the copious notes describing the bays, gulfs and beaches surrounding the Pacific brought a well-used phrase to mind; “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Perhaps it is for this very reason that encyclopaedias and other reference books now present their information in the most salient form, not wasting time space on mammoth sentences and paragraphs, that very few people take the time to read, which can be succinctly summarised in a detailed map or simple diagram. The amount of information that we encounter and need to process on a daily basis has infinitely grown since the days of leather-bound encyclopaedic tomes and as such we tend to prefer our information to be presented in bite-size factoids and cool simulations. It is sad to think, however, that the days of waxing lyrical about, well, wax are gone.
In closing, it is important to bear in mind that as this edition was published between 1875 and 1889, seven of the top ten greatest scientists were still alive and available for comment if they so wished! Marie Curie (1867-1934), Charles Darwin (1809-1882), Albert Einstein (1879-1955), Otto Hahn (1879-1968), James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) and Nikola Tesla (1856-1943).
Explore. Dream. Discover.
I would just like to take a moment and thank my grandparents for allowing me to spend many afternoons and innumerable hours pouring over articles while surrounded by towering piles of their books. Thanks Sorethumb Gran and Gonx, hope you enjoy the finished product!

P Que _ Ethereums: The Affluence Network: Better Than Money
Thank you so much for visiting The Affluence Network in your search for “P Que _ Ethereums” online. You have probably seen this many times where you generally spread the good word about crypto. “It is not erratic? What goes on when the price crashes? ” to date, several POS systems provides free conversion of fiat, relieving some worry, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people will soon be hesitant to carry any. We must discover a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Many people choose to use a currency deflation, especially those who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary seclusion, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen included in your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for “last mile”-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the information to flow without interruption, in the correct area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations “possesses” the Internet collectively these companies determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that’s happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn’t governed by any centered company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that’s something that as a committed advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.
P Que _ Ethereums – What’s in Your Wallet? – The Affluence Network
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers claim that there is “real” worth, even through there isn’t any physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some form of wages to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin contains many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which is one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of trades lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be simply that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It really is also possible that the regulators simply don’t comprehend the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of value, but there is absolutely no real tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the character of the process by which it’s transacted. All transactions on a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. After youare paid, you get paid. This isn’t something shortterm wherever your customers may challenge or demand a refunds, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In practice, many investors will be wise to use a payment processor, due to the irreversible character of crypto currency purchases, you have to make certain that stability is tricky. With any type of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your private keys and so steal your cash. However, you most likely can never have it back. It is very important for you yourself to embrace some excellent safe and sound routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing so can protect you from all of these negative functions. In the case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might perhaps be exchanged as being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies proclaim that this sort of electronic cash isn’t manipulated with a central banking system and is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a minimal amount of items, this cash’s price is based on market forces, allowing entrepreneurs to trade over cryptocurrency trades. When searching on the internet forP Que _ Ethereums, there are many things to ponder.

Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the quantity of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there’s no need for substantial sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest occasions on the planet market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it is a fact which you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you’re demanded fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there’s no authorities, banks, or another regulatory agencies. Therefore, it truly is more immune to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be realized by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You’dn’t place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and verify these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they can earn transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they get involved in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. | <urn:uuid:c927742d-3a02-4b3f-8d34-d4540300103a> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://litecoinnews.org/p-que-_-ethereums-the-affluence-network-the-coin-of-the-people/ | 2018-05-22T13:35:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864790.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522131652-20180522151652-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.944712 | 2,451 | [

We did a quick interview with a fellow student who spent his autumn semester studying in Amsterdam, INHolland University of Applied Sciences. We asked Sampsa some general information about Amsterdam and his time there. So here goes!
Hello, my name is Sampsa Raitamäki. I am a 21 year old student, currently carrying out my second year of studies in the degree programme in European Business Administration. I come from very very small place called Lannevesi, located in the beautiful region of Central-Finland. Now I shall answer these questions!
1. How was life in the Netherlands and in Amsterdam? Were there differences between life in Finland?
– First thing I noticed when moving to the Netherlands was that there was a lot more people and bicycles everywhere (compared to Finland). The cycle track network is very well developed in Amsterdam and it can be even faster way to travel short distances compared to public transportation.
– Another thing was the respect towards schedule. Compared to Finnish Dutch people seem to have vague concept of time. For example, we we’re promised to have an internet connection when we arrive to our flat, but there was none. When we asked when we will receive proper connection the answer was: “sometime next week”. Eventually we got the internet in about four weeks.
2. How about studying? Was it harder or easier and how was the school in general?
– Studying was different. In InHolland university students have to take more initiative to learn. This means a lot of reading. The school is very international and has a lot of more cultures in it compared to Metropolia Business School.
It was maybe a bit harder to learn.
3. Pros’ and cons’ of your exchange period?
– The Pros of the exchange time was new friends, better ability to adapt in new situations and international experience.
– Cons.. Nothing in particular.
4. In conclusion – Was it a good or a bad experience? Do you have any advice for future students?
– It was a good experience as I learned a lot about myself.
– For future students be open minded and ready for surprises. The exchange period will most likely not match entirely your expectations so be ready for that.
Thank you Sampsa for your time and stay tuned for updates y’all! | <urn:uuid:606c8960-a342-4b37-ad4b-e10a30b96b48> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://metropoliabiz.fi/2010/05/04/experiences-from-amsterdam-an-interview-with-sampsa/ | 2018-05-23T14:32:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865679.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523141759-20180523161759-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.968277 | 488 | [

Dr. Mary Mullen, MD, PhD, Associate Director of the Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Program, describes how her lifelong passion for medicine is enriched by the collaborative, family-centered culture of care at the Boston Children’s Heart Center.
The Boston Children’s Heart Center Pulmonary Hypertension Program provides comprehensive diagnosis and individualized treatment plans for children and adults with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Our team includes cardiologists, radiologists and pulmonologists who are experts in PH, as well as specially trained nurses who provide helpful assistance and support for families.
Pulmonary hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs (the pulmonary arteries) is abnormally high. As the pressure builds, your heart’s right ventricle has to work harder to pump blood through your lungs. This eventually causes your heart muscle to weaken and eventually fail completely. Thanks to advances in basic science and clinical research, treatments are now available that can help lessen symptoms and improve you or your child’s quality of life. | <urn:uuid:64229a13-7185-4ed2-8d52-b6d525bd51f1> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://pulmonaryhypertensionnews.com/2016/01/29/8433/ | 2018-05-25T14:53:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867094.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525141236-20180525161236-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.949697 | 217 | [

Ten months ago, Intel shipped its first quad-core Xeon server processors. Last week, chip nemesis AMD finally answered back.
AMD took the first step in an effort to recapture its momentum in the server market by launching a quad-core version of its Opteron chip. Company officials hope the new device, which was code-named Barcelona, will have the same kind of business impact that the original Opterons did after being released into a world dominated by Intel's 32-bit chips four years ago.
Opteron, the first x86 chip able to run both 32- and 64-bit applications, was an immediate hit with server vendors as well as businesses and high-performance computing users. Its arrival posed the biggest challenge yet to Intel's dominance of the Windows server market.
But Intel has responded to that challenge - sending AMD's share of the server chip market into retreat, according to research firm IDC. In the second quarter of 2006, AMD-based systems accounted for 15.3 per cent of x86 server shipments worldwide compared with 84.7 per cent for machines with Intel chips, IDC said. But in the same quarter this year, AMD's share slipped to 14 per cent as measured by IDC, compared with 86 per cent for Intel.
When Opteron made its debut, AMD "snuck up on Intel and hit them with a hammer," IDC analyst, Crawford Del Prete, said. But he added that in recent months, "AMD has been caught pretty much flat-footed" by Intel's quad-core Xeons.
One user that remains sold on Opteron is the Texas Advanced Computing Center, a research facility at the University of Texas in Austin. TACC is using more than 15,000 Barcelona chips to build what may well be the world's largest supercomputer, with an expected processing capacity in excess of 500 TFLOPS.
TACC's assistant director, Tommy Minyard, said that when the $US30 million system was finished early next year, it would include about 63,000 processor cores. The supercomputer, called Ranger, is based on Sun Microsystems' Sun Blade 6000 servers and will be used primarily for academic research.
Opteron was picked as the processor because of its floating-point and memory-sharing capabilities, Minyard said. When TACC proposed the new system about 18 months ago, it set a chip clock-speed expectation of 2 GHz - exactly the point at which the first version of Barcelona maxes out. But Minyard said he had been hoping that the quad-core chip would run a little faster when it was finally released. AMD officials said at the Barcelona launch announcement in San Francisco that a 2.5GHz version of the processor would be ready to ship in December.
And executives from Dell, IBM, HP and Sun appeared in person or via video to say they planned to add the quad-core Opteron chip to their respective server lines.
Shipments of systems based on Barcelona are scheduled to begin as early as next month.
AMD chairman and CEO, Hector Ruiz, said the initial Opteron release raised the bar for what an industry should expect from a processor company. He contended that the quad-core chip would have a similarly profound effect on computing, despite Intel's time-to-market advantage. Barcelona is built on a single die, unlike Intel's dual-die approach, and it connects the cores on a chip directly to a system's memory and lets them share it.
Insight 64 analyst, Nathan Brookwood, described AMD's chip design as elegant.
But AMD is running uphill - and Intel isn't standing still. The week before the Barcelona launch, Intel announced the Xeon 7300 line, which is designed for high-end servers running workloads such as databases and ERP applications. And on the same day that AMD made its announcement, Intel raised its overall third-quarter revenue forecast, citing stronger-than-expected demand for its products worldwide. | <urn:uuid:0260ae39-55fe-469a-bce3-f8cea2c62bf1> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.computerworld.com.au/article/193058/amd_tries_find_its_server_mojo_again/ | 2018-05-25T15:16:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867094.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525141236-20180525161236-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.963998 | 818 | [

Summer is coming, which means Finnegan's year of anxiety about summer camp is quickly approaching its climax. A year ago, when he was nine, we decided that it was time for him to head off to overnight camp, and as Ben will be celebrating his final year at this camp this year, it would be Finn's last opportunity to go to camp with a guardian sibling.
For the first few months, we were not allowed to talk about it at all.
In the deep midwinter, summer seemed too far away to worry excessively, but we did not bring it up often, just to be safe.
This spring, the boys forms arrived, and as it's my policy that they fill out forms for their own activities, I handed the pile of papers over to them with the obligatory doctor/dentist/insurance information and told them to get started.
An hour or so later, I found them in the playroom, heads together, working on the activity selection forms. Ben detailed each activity for Finnegan, explaining how archery or canoeing or sailing works, and when the water is coldest, and what time of day he'd want to take swimming class.
Finn's anxiety had turned to excitement, so I quietly left the room. My participation was clearly not needed.
In June, it will be time for me to take my own advice, which means I have less than two months to wrap my head around the idea of saying goodbye to my little baby, and leaving him in the hands of strangers for two weeks.
I will do my best to remember the plea of my older son, an arrangement we made when it was time to drop him off to camp at eleven, a plea I wrote about for the Atlantic last year, "Goodbye, and go away, thank you very much." | <urn:uuid:ad33d529-d581-4f7b-b468-d3f3063533e7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://comingofageinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2014/04/i-think-ill-be-big-enough-next-year.html | 2018-05-26T13:37:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526131802-20180526151802-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.983019 | 375 | [

AEI’s Steve Hayward describes liberalism’s love hate relationship with democracy. They love it when the people vote their way, they want and hate it when they don’t. One of his prime examples is Gov. Perdue’s call for suspending Congressional elections.
Liberalism has been schizophrenic about democracy for about a century, alternating between deploring anti-majoritarian features of our system such as the electoral college and the filibuster, or maligning populist democratic majoritarianism when it delivers uncongenial results, such as California’s Proposition 13 or last fall’s midterm election beat-down of the Democratic Party—an election that increasingly looks to be a harbinger of more wipeouts ahead at the hands of ingrate voters. So right now liberals are in one of their periodic anti-democratic moods, most remarkably expressed by North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue’s thought experiment last week about suspending congressional elections for two years so that Congress can “help this country recover.” | <urn:uuid:1175dd78-e91f-4b63-a0e4-3bac0fbd8428> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://lockerroom.johnlocke.org/2011/10/12/like-a-true-liberal-gov-perdue-hates-democracy/ | 2018-05-26T14:12:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526131802-20180526151802-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.929888 | 211 | [

In my last blog, I had begun my exploration into the world of needle felting. You can read more about needle felting, there, but I wanted to pop in and tell you about "Edward".
"Edward" is my first, intuitive, needle felted sculpture. I couldn't wait for more roving to arrive, so I used the left-overs from my bear kit. I'm really champing at the bit to start playing with more colors, but I'm thankful there was enough purple left over to create "Edward". I used what I learned, but no patterns. He just poked, right out of my hands!
I've listed him, but it was hard. He's my first, original design, in this art form...but I need more roving. :) | <urn:uuid:2c2d0633-475f-4397-b4ec-8a6bfa5e8653> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://fairywebmother.blogspot.com/2007/08/meetedward.html | 2018-05-27T15:28:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794869272.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527151021-20180527171021-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.972346 | 162 | [

Comm 240 is an very interesting class taught by a great professor (by the way can I get some extra credit?) As long as you can stay on task and focus on your work you should be fine! However, with that said there is some advice that can come in handy!
Firstly, make sure you stay on top of blogging assignments! Bookmark your blog and set a reminder to make sure you don’t miss any posts! Also don’t forget to do your comments!
Second have a dedicated notebook in which to take notes during lectures. There’s a lot of information and having it all written down will help you study and remember information.
Thirdly, make sure that you keep track of projects you have going on. They are worth a lot of points and you’ll really regret it if you accidentally miss a deadline.
Last but certainly not least make sure you study for tests. Enough said with that one!
With these tips in mind you’ll have no problems in this class. | <urn:uuid:25476627-2500-4d50-9eac-376e7111c5ea> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://publiclyrelatable.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/ | 2018-05-27T15:23:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794869272.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527151021-20180527171021-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.975958 | 211 | [

HEATING OIL TANK SERVICES
Recent legislative changes to North Carolina cleanup rules regarding non-commercial underground storage tanks (i.e. home heating oil tanks) have resulted in the dissolution of the “North Carolina Non-Commercial Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund” and the corresponding cleanup requirements. However, some action regarding the existence of heating oil tanks at homes is still required by the NC-DEQ as well as buyers or lending institutions before they will agree to fund a mortgage. At a minimum, a buyer or lending institution will normally request the tank be removed prior to purchase. And, if the tank shows signs of a leak, they will also want the seller to obtain an NNFA letter from the NC-DEQ.
As stated above, while the NC-DEQ normally no longer requires a cleanup, if a leak from the tank is discovered the leak must still be reported to the NC-DEQ using a NC-DEQ UST-61 reporting form. Further, a Notice of Residual Petroleum (NRP) and Public Notice must be successfully completed prior to obtaining a NNFA letter from the NC-DEQ. In response to these regulatory changes ECE has developed the following turnkey service to assist home owners in obtaining their NNFA including the following:
1) Oversight of the tank removal (if required);
2) Collection of a confirmation soil sample from under the tank for laboratory analysis;
3) Completion and submittal of the NC-DEQ UST-61 reporting form;
4) Completion of the Public Notice;
5) Completion and recordation of the NRP; and
6) Act as your representative to the NC-DEQ, all for a turnkey price of *$1,200.00.
Please contact Tom Will at ECE for additional information or to schedule your service.
* Please note that this price does not include the cost to remove the tank itself as this can vary between $1,000 and $2,000 depending on site specific conditions. ECE also offers UST removal services on a site specific basis. | <urn:uuid:c670c10f-ff8a-4eb6-bce0-252c0f4a1f69> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://eastcoastenv.com/news/ | 2018-05-21T16:24:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864461.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521161639-20180521181639-00517.warc.gz | en | 0.940085 | 438 | [

You should try in the Trastevere area Ivo and Panattoni but don't forget the fresh white pizza at the Forno in Campo de Fiori and Roscioli nearby. Very good is also pizzeria Montecarlo near Piazza Navona.

There is a wonderful restaurant which is dirt cheap just across the road form the colosseum. It is very fast service and really nice food. It was so nice to just sit there and look across the road at the wonderful view of the colosseum we had. I cannot remember what the name was but i am sure there wasn't to many of them around that area.
It was just as you step out form the metro station. Hope this helps you!
