Trump Defends Acosta Amid Calls to Resign Over Epstein Deal; Judge Blocks Justice Department from Swapping Legal Team in Census Case; Megan Rapinoe to Trump: 'Your Message is Excluding People'; Judge Questions Constitutionality of Obamacare Mandate. Aired 6-6:30a ET
Aired July 10, 2019 - 06:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I feel very badly for Secretary Acosta. I've known him as somebody that has done such a good job.
[05:59:12] REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): No surprise, he knew about this when he nominated him.
CHRIS RUDDY, CEO AND PRESIDENT, NEWSMAX MEDIA: The plea agreement is indefensible. He's not going to stay for long.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (singing): We are the champions!
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (singing): We are the champions!
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (singing): We are the champions!
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Fresh off their historic fourth World Cup win, the U.S. Women's National Team will take a victory lap.
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: What is your message to the president?
MEGAN RAPINOE, CO-CAPTAIN, U.S. WORLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM: I would say that your message is excluding people. You're excluding me. You need to do better for everyone.
ANNOUNCER: This is NEW DAY with Alisyn Camerota and John Berman.
JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: All right. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is NEW DAY. It's Wednesday, July 10. It's 6 a.m. here in New York.
And new overnight, a key ally of President Trump says Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's days could be numbered, telling CNN he could be out in a couple of weeks.
This all stems from new developments surrounding the sex-trafficking plea deal Acosta struck in 2008 with millionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein is now facing new charges of abusing dozens of underage girls.
For now, CNN has learned the president is privately telling people he still has confidence in Acosta. And grammar be damned, the president says he feels very badly for Acosta and is offering no such sympathy for Epstein's alleged victims.
ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: So as you know, in that secret 2008 plea deal, Epstein was given just 13 months in jail, and he was allowed to leave to work six days a week. But why?
Secretary Acosta, then a U.S. attorney in Florida, is now breaking his silence about the case. The embattled labor secretary is tweeting that he is, quote, "pleased" that prosecutors are moving forward, because there is new evidence and testimony available. But is that an explanation?
CNN's Joe Johns is live at the White House with the latest. This seems to be changing by the hour, Joe.
JOE JOHNS, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Yes, it does. Good morning, Alisyn.
Well, publicly, the president is supporting Alex Acosta. And privately, he seems to be saying the same thing. Of course, we all know that could change.
That depends, of course, on a couple things, we're told. It's about the news coverage of this situation, including that controversial plea agreement. And there's also a question of whether the calls for Acosta's resignation start to pick up.
TRUMP: I feel very badly, actually, for Secretary Acosta, because I've known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job.
JOHNS (voice-over): President Trump defending embattled Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta over the controversial plea deal he oversaw in 2008 that allowed multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein to avoid federal sex crime charges, allegedly involving dozens of underaged girls.
The president claiming the administration is looking at the deal but downplaying Acosta's involvement.
TRUMP: I do hear that there were a lot of people involved in that decision, not just him.
JOHNS: Privately, sources tell CNN Trump is expressing confidence in Acosta. But the president's associates think that confidence could erode with negative news coverage.
RUDDY: I think the plea agreement he did is indefensible. I think that he's not going to stay for long. I haven't spoken to the president about it, but I do think -- and we're reporting on Newsmax, actually, tonight. Our White House correspondent says he will be out in the next couple of weeks.
JOHNS: The deal under renewed scrutiny after Epstein pleaded not guilty Monday to new child sex-trafficking charges. Acosta tweeting Tuesday that he is pleased New York prosecutors are moving forward with the new case but standing behind the 2008 plea deal as a growing number of Democrats push for his resignation.
REP. JERRY NADLER (D-NY): Acosta perverted justice to give a very sweet deal to -- to an accused multiple child molester and has no business in government.
JOHNS: Top congressional Republicans condemning Epstein's alleged crimes but refusing to take a stance on Acosta's future.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't know enough about it to say anything.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): He serves at the pleasure of the president, and I'm declined to defer to the president to make that decision.
JOHNS: In 2002, President Trump described Epstein as a "terrific guy" and "a lot of fun to be with," noting, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
Now Trump is trying to distance himself from Epstein.
TRUMP: I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don't think I've spoken with him for 15 years. I wasn't a fan.
JOHNS: Now, a couple of things I think we have to say. No. 1, there is certainly a big question about what that falling out with Jeffrey Epstein was all about. Reporters asked the president that question. He did not respond.
Alex Acosta is not seen as having a lot of support in the West Wing. Nonetheless, the president's been reluctant to get rid of any other cabinet official, simply because it adds to the narrative of chaos in the administration.
John, Alisyn, back to you.
BERMAN: All right. Joe Johns for us in the White House. Joe, stand by there. Let us know if you hear anything new.
In the meantime, I want to bring in Errol Louis, CNN political commentator; Elie Honig, former federal prosecutor and a CNN legal analyst; John Avlon, CNN senior political analyst; and Bianna Golodryga, a CNN contributor.
Christopher Ruddy, who you heard in that piece, is a member of the president's cell-phone cabinet. Right? One of the people the president calls regularly to get a sense of -- of the temperature, the political temperature out there. John Avlon, if Christopher Ruddy says that Alexander Acosta has just a
couple of weeks left?
JOHN AVLON, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: I'd put more weight in that than most. I mean, there's a lot of gossip that goes around the West Wing. At the end of the day, this is a president who makes decisions by impulses. But Ruddy is a member of that extended cell-phone cabinet. He does have better insight than a lot of folks.
There is reportedly the chief of staff going after Acosta for his own sort of personal reasons. And then there's just the fact of this plea agreement, which under close scrutiny, raises way more questions than it answers. This isn't going to go away on its own.
CAMEROTA: Let's just talk about that for a second. Before we get to Acosta's future, which may be limited, I just want to talk about his past.
[06:05:05] He seems to be saying that this is the best deal that prosecutors could ever have gotten for Epstein. You have lived this life as a prosecutor.
ELIE HONIG, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Yes.
CAMEROTA: I know, look, rape cases are notoriously hard to prosecute. That's true. Is this the best deal that they could ever have gotten?
HONIG: Please understand, this plea deal is a complete and total injustice. I've never seen anything like it. I've seen what I consider to be good pleas, medium pleas, maybe soft pleas. This is in a whole different category.
There are questions that Alex Acosta has not answered and I don't think will be able to answer. Thirteen months for someone accused of sex trafficking?
Just for comparison's sake, under the federal guidelines, you get 13 months if you possess 2 grams of crack cocaine. That's half a teaspoon. That's 13 months. This man is accused of sex trafficking.
CAMEROTA: Of many, many -- I mean, many girls.
HONIG: Many victims.
CAMEROTA: Weren't there 36 victims?
HONIG: Children. Yes. Children. Also, and speaking of the victims, why on earth did Alex Acosta not notify the victims? You are required to notify victims.
CAMEROTA: By law.
HONIG: By law. You learn that your first week in the office of any prosecutor. You have to notify the victims. Why on earth did he not notify the victims? What was he hiding?
BIANNA GOLODRYGA, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: And basically --
HONIG: He has not answered that, and I don't think he can.
GOLODRYGA: And he basically identified them as prostitutes, right? You have underaged girls that he charged Epstein with prostitution for. They want to change that now, too.
HONIG: And another huge mistake as a prosecutor. You can't -- Victims are victims, and they should not be charged.
AVLON: And the guy getting arrested for crack cocaine for 13 months isn't going a work release all day long so he can go to his office and continue his empire.
BERMAN: But the tie-in for what's happening now is that Alexander Acosta is going to have to live with discussions like this --
BERMAN: -- every day if he wants to go on as labor secretary. And the president is going to have to live with discussions like this every day. And there's this SDNY investigation of prosecution that will be going on every day. And all of these facts will be coming up.
And there will be questions, Errol, about the president's relationship --
ERROL LOUIS, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: That's right.
BERMAN: -- with Jeffrey Epstein. And there's just some crazy reporting this morning out about there was a party that they went to, a pool party. And the only two men there were Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump and what was it, like, dozens of models there in the pool?
LOUIS: That's right. Swimming naked in the pool and so forth. So look, that's going to be the point at which I think Secretary Acosta's job is really going to be in danger. Right?
We're in a political season. We've got a president who does not need this. He's looking at his poll numbers. He's looking down the road. He's got 24 angry Democrats who are running against him, one of whom is a billionaire who just jumped into the race. They're throwing hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of organization and advertising at him.
The last thing he needs is to sort of bring up this whole issue which has -- plays so perfectly into what the Democrats are trying to craft as an image of somebody who is hostile to women, who's hostile to women's issues, who is not, you know, the kind of person who should be leading the country. Donald Trump, it becomes much easier to just say, you know, "You're fired."
GOLODRYGA: And of course, in typical Trump fashion, he's playing the "I barely knew the guy" card.
CAMEROTA: Though he said he's a terrific guy.
GOLODRYGA: And then yet, they had some sort of rift a number of years ago. We don't know exactly the nature of that rift.
But I've been reading that what will be a telltale sign is whether Acosta will be in the cabinet meeting which will be held next week.
BERMAN: One week.
GOLODRYGA: One week from now.
CAMEROTA: OK. Let's move on to what's happening with the census. Because the Trump administration has hit yet another road block in terms of their efforts to add a citizenship question.
So now there's a federal judge that says the Department of Justice cannot swap out their legal team, as they had announced they were doing, in order to move forward with this. Because the judge says -- he's demanding an explanation --
BERMAN: The actual quote is "Defendants provide no reasons, let alone satisfactory reasons, for the substitution of counsel."
CAMEROTA: Right. They have to come before him and explain why they are leaving, Bianna -- their departure. That's interesting. I'd like to hear that, as well.
GOLODRYGA: Right. And it could very well be embarrassing for the Justice Department and the administration, too, if they have to go through a process of discovery. A question is whether some of these attorneys are leaving because they feel consciously that this is the right thing to do.
CAMEROTA: In protest.
GOLODRYGA: Right, in protest of what they were defending once. They assumed this is a case closed now. And yet, with the president issuing one tweet, all of this now is rehashed.
BERMAN: Counsel, help me out on the law here. Because my understanding is -- is the judge is saying this is on a technicality. When you leave a case, you have to provide a reason.
BERMAN: The government did not provide a reason. The problem here is when they go public with their reason, that might actually undermine their case.
HONIG: Yes. I know this judge, Jesse Furman. I grew up with him at the Southern District. We were prosecutors together. We used to call him the Furmanator. I think he showed why.
BERMAN: As someone who was called the Bermanator over the years -- yes.
CAMEROTA: He's copyrighted that.
HONIG: Like you, John, he's no nonsense. He gets right to it.
But here's the thing. What the DOJ, I think, was trying to do by changing out the team here was sort of put a Band-Aid on a gaping credibility wound that they -- it's self-inflicted. Because throughout this case -- The Supreme Court, when they came down with the ruling, said, "We don't believe the reasons you, the administration, have given us."
And it's gotten worse in the last week as these contradictions have piled up day by day. And I think the thought is, well, if we change the attorneys, maybe we can kind of hit reset. But too bad. It's a position you've already taken, DOJ. You're stuck with it.
[06:10:06] AVLON: Yes, but this is a whole cascading series of lies the DOJ's been caught in. First by the Supreme Court, which basically said, "Your argument that this census question was about the Voting Rights Act just isn't credible."
CAMEROTA: It stinks.
AVLON: "Come back to us with a better argument."
Then Justice saying, "You know what? OK, we're -- the deadline is too close. We're done."
Then the president tweets. Then Barr shifts strategy. And all of a sudden, you need a new legal team, because those folks have been caught in a -- in a contradiction.
And it's political, obviously. The president has said it is explicitly to benefit his party in redistricting.
BERMAN: Speaking of politics, and much more than politics, Megan Rapinoe, the captain and the best soccer player on planet earth right now.
BERMAN: She's going to be in the parade today, along with Alisyn Camerota.
CAMEROTA: I mean, I'm not going to be in the parade, as far as they know. I will be reporting on the parade. But we'll see if I can work my way in.
BERMAN: Fair enough, fair enough.
AVLON: I think not.
BERMAN: So Rapinoe was on with Anderson Cooper last night. And it was really a riveting interview.
CAMEROTA: It was. Really compelling.
BERMAN: Rapinoe has been in this -- this feud with President Trump. And she addressed what she wants from the president with Anderson last night.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
RAPINOE: I think that I would say that "Your message is excluding people. You're excluding me. You're excluding people that look like me. You're excluding people of color. You're excluding, you know, Americans that -- that maybe support you. I think that we need to have a reckoning with the message that you have and what you're saying about make America great again. I think that you're hearkening back to an era that was not great for everyone."
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BERMAN: She has a platform, Errol, and she will continue to have this platform. And it's interesting how she's using it.
LOUIS: Absolutely. Look, when it comes to celebrity, the president is -- you know, he's a Hollywood celebrity. Fourteen seasons at "The Apprentice." He's a political celebrity. He's the most powerful man in the world.
This is a kind of celebrity, though, that's kind of based on talent that everybody can see. Everybody watched what those women did. This is not something he can compete with. This is something where I think he's going to sort of maybe just fade away and move on to the next thing.
Because when the parade is done and the ticker tape is all swept up, you know, the women will go into -- will pass into history what they did and what they meant. And people will remember that. President Trump does not want to fight against that.
CAMEROTA: And obviously, Bianna, they're fighting for someone bigger than a soccer game. So they have much more on their agenda in terms of what it means for all women and for equal pay, et cetera.
GOLODRYGA: Right. And they have a lot of people on their side, right, fighting for that same purpose. Equal pay.
And for the president, once again, you see why picking these individual fights is so beneath the office of the presidency and why, ultimately, he will be on the wrong side of history if he continues to do so with regards to sports legends, right, with regards to people who are not his political rivals.
Do not take targeted attacks against people who set history, who have so many fans around this country and around the world now, who are fighting for much larger issues than just one's ego.
BERMAN: I have to say, it will be very interesting to see what the president does during those two hours when the American team is riding through the Canyon of Heroes here in New York City. Is he on Twitter, for instance?
CAMEROTA: It will be very exciting to cover it, so we'll be there in a couple of hours. Thank you, all.
BERMAN: All right. This morning millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. Major new developments in the legal battle to abolish the Affordable Care Act. We're going to go inside the courtroom that could decide the fate of Obamacare.
CAMEROTA: OK. Now to this. A Republican-led legal challenge to get rid of Obamacare entirely is using the very same argument that saved the Affordable Care Act.
CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic is live in New Orleans where the case is being challenged. So what's the argument, Joan, they're using?
JOAN BISKUPIC, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Morning, Alisyn, from windy New Orleans.
It was not a good day for Obamacare here yesterday. A majority of the three-judge panel appeared poised to throw out the individual insurance requirement that is at the heart of the Affordable Care Act. Possibly invalidate protections for people with pre-existing conditions like cancer and maybe even sink the whole thing. That could jeopardize healthcare insurance for millions of Americans.
Back in 2012, when Chief Justice John Roberts cast the deciding vote to uphold the Affordable Care Act, he tied it to Congress's power to levy taxes on people who failed to obtain health insurance.
But then in 2017, the Republican-led Congress zeroed out that tax penalty. And now Texas and other Republican-led states, along with the Trump Justice Department, are saying that the constitutional grounds for the ACA no longer exist.
And Alisyn, while we can't tell for certain where this appeals court will go and we won't see a ruling for several months, the signals yesterday were that at least two of the three judges agree with that argument, agree with the Texas attorneys general and others.
This will all end up back at the U.S. Supreme Court, no doubt, the third time it would go there. And again, the fate of the Affordable Care Act is likely to be the hands -- in the hands of Chief Justice John Roberts -- Alisyn.
CAMEROTA: The Supreme Court seems to be very busy lately. Joan, thank you very much for explaining all of that.
[06:20:02] Let's bring back our panel. We have Errol Louis, Elie Honig, John Avlon, and Bianna Golodryga.
Elie, so if these three -- if these three judges decide that they think that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional, or one tenet of it is, what happens to the millions of people who use the Affordable Care Act?
HONIG: I don't -- I don't think there's a plan, right? And people should understand, there's a real chance this happens. The Affordable Care Act is in genuine legal jeopardy.
BERMAN: Growing chance, I would say.
HONIG: Yes. I think increasingly. The forces are aligning against it.
First of all, DOJ changed its position during this administration, from its initial position of just the individual mandate. Now under Barr, it's the whole thing needs to go. The trial-level federal judge said whole thing needs to go.
It sounds like, based on Joan's reporting, that the court of appeals is leaning that way, too. And it's going to come up to the Supreme Court. And the only thing that kept John Roberts on the majority the first time around, that aligned him with the liberal justices, is the individual mandate, which is now gone. So there's a real chance.
AVLON: But remember how many people we're talking about. Right? We're talking about around 20 million people, estimated, who could lose their insurance. Fifty-two million, estimated who have preexisting conditions.
So this is -- out of the three judges, two are Republican appointees. It could come down to partisan lines again. But when President Trump, in his kickoff speech of his campaign, again pledged to protect pre- existing conditions. Watch what the administration's doing in court.
BERMAN: I think the politics of this, Errol, I have to imagine the Democrats, while they don't want people to lose their healthcare, it plays right into their hands.
LOUIS: Absolutely. And my prediction would be if it does, in fact, spool out this way, where it looks like it's in real danger, it would be a gift to the entire Democratic field running for president.
They're already making health care an issue, we know from all of the polling. We know from the midterms. We know that it is a core issue for -- for the Democratic Party. This is a case where I think for the conservatives who have been trying to kill this, be careful what you wish for. If you -- if you get it, the -- the blowback will be unbelievable.
CAMEROTA: But this would require Democrats to seize on this instead of, say, busing at the next debate.
BERMAN: Look, that's not fair. Because the Democrats talk a lot about health care. It's not a busing thing. It's a Medicare for all thing.
CAMEROTA: But there is a Medicare for all thing. But they -- I haven't heard them say, in as sort of cogent a way, "You're about to lose your health care if you have a pre-existing condition." Just that message.
GOLODRYGA: Right. Right. You haven't heard them really defend the ACA. You've talked -- you've heard them talk about blowing it up, right, and switching over to Medicare for all. They're all over the place when it comes to health care.
BERMAN: Except for Joe Biden --
GOLODRYGA: Except for Joe Biden.
BERMAN: -- who in his interview with Chris Cuomo, went extensively into the subject of "I'm going to stand up to any Republican or any Democrat who tries to do away with the Affordable Care Act."
GOLODRYGA: Joe Biden and John Delaney, who said let's work on fixing the Affordable Care Act. Let's keep what's working, and we'll work on what's not working right now.
AVLON: And by the way, polling overwhelmingly favors that position of the public option versus Medicare for all version that would do away with private insurance.
GOLODRYGA: And don't forget what the president said in the interview with George Stephanopoulos. That he had a medical and health care plan coming out in two weeks. It's been more than two weeks, and we're still --
BERMAN: Well over two weeks.
BERMAN: But who's counting?
All right. I don't necessarily like to be the media watchdog for our competitors, but something remarkable happened overnight, perhaps while you were sleeping, which is that Tucker Carlson suggested -- he didn't suggest; he flat-out said that a sitting member of the U.S. Congress should never have been allowed in the United States. Listen to this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS HOST: Ilhan Omar is living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country. So be grateful for Ilhan Omar, annoying as she is. She's a living fire alarm, a warning to the rest of us we better change our immigration system immediately or else.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BERMAN: So Bianna Golodryga, at this table, you are an immigrant to the United States.
GOLODRYGA: A political refugee.
BERMAN: A political refugee. When you hear Tucker Carlson saying we've got to change our immigration system. If there are people who come to the United States who aren't grateful, who criticize, perhaps, the policies, they don't deserve to be here. He also went on to say perhaps there are entire countries of people we shouldn't allow in.
GOLODRYGA: Instead of celebrating what this country can -- can do, right, what one can achieve in this country just a few years after immigrating here, as a political refugee. One could be a member of Congress. And -- and differ with her on issues that you don't agree with her on. That's fine.
But to attack her system of coming into the country and saying that people like her should not be here instead of being celebrated as an achievement that only what a special country this is that you can achieve as an immigrant family, running away and leaving a life of fear in another country, to come here and become a member of Congress, it's a great oversight. And I think he knows what he's doing by talking about it this way.
CAMEROTA: We have to read Congresswoman Omar's response on Twitter. She says, "Not going to lie, it's kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress." Laughy emoji. "No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect. They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman!"
John, this is, you know, FOX's bread and butter at night in their primetime stuff. There's always outrage. There's always fearmongering. But, you know, it's dangerous. I mean, when I hear that, it's just dangerous.
[06:25:07] And Tucker knows that. I mean, he -- he was on the receiving end of a band of people who didn't like what he was saying while his wife, I believe, was inside; and they were battering their front door. He knows how dangerous it is. When you rile people up into a lather, it gets dangerous.
AVLON: Of course it does. Look, and Tucker's playing a game here where the first half of the clip is he's talking about the glory of assimilation and the extraordinary, only in American rise of Ilhan Omar and then says "but she hates America. She focuses on our faults exclusively."
And I think there's a larger narrative that the right, and the media, the right-wing media keeps piling on, that is not so coincidentally focused on Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a handful of other new congresswomen of color.
And you can say that, you know, the far left can be attacked with baggage about they look at our faults, not our successes as a country. But there is a racial animus that appears to exist against these women that have made their -- there's a conscious attempt to make them the face of the Democratic Party and to demonize them. And it's hard to separate that from a political agenda or something worse.
BERMAN: You know, there's a lot of an attempt here to create intellectual depth to what, to many, just is a racist comment. A flat-out racist comment or offensive comment, suggesting that people shouldn't be allowed in the country -- Errol.
LOUIS: You know, I -- It's interesting. Because to go back for a minute to something we talked about before, we know that there are lots of young girls who are watching the women's soccer team. And they're being inspired, and they're going to sort of change the world.
There are a lot of people -- I happen to have been one of them as a kid -- who saw all kinds of racist garbage coming out over the airwaves. You know, people like Tucker Carlson. And it was one of the things that inspired me to get into this business, to try and drive away the vestiges of that garbage.
I mean, on talk radio, in particular, you heard it for years and years and years, just spewing this kind of garbage. And that -- I mean, it's stuff like that.
And things like what he said last night are going to be said all over the airwaves all day today and tomorrow and the next day. And it's a wakeup call. It is an alarm to the rest of us that we need to train young people, get them into the media, get them into broadcasting, and do away with that stuff so it'll just be a bad memory.
BERMAN: I like that glass half full analysis of that.
CAMEROTA: The silver lining.
Let's talk about your favorite story of the day. The strip club.
BERMAN: This is amazing.
CAMEROTA: It is. I'm just saying.
AVLON: Whiplash here.
BERMAN: This actually has to do with a lot of what we've been talking about. This is David Fahrenthold in "The Washington Post." Let me just read the lead graph here.
BERMAN: Right? "President Trump's golf resort in Doral, Florida, is to host a golf tournament Saturday put on by a Miami-area strip club, which will allow golfers to pay for a dancer to serve as their caddie girl while they play at the president's club. The Trump name and family crest are displayed prominently in the strip club's advertising materials, which offer golfers the 'caddy girl of your choice'."
And if we can just put up on the screen here a couple of the ads associated with this.
CAMEROTA: And what year was this written, John?
BERMAN: Like, 2019.
GOLODRYGA: I was about to say that.
AVLON: Like, it's about to happen.
BERMAN: Right now. It's today here. This tournament is about to happen.
And I just want to note, and Elie, you're the winner of the golf tournament sweepstakes.
HONIG: Oh, goody.
BERMAN: The president of the United States still owns this club. This is not licensed. This is the president's golf club.
HONIG: My goodness. First of all, let me say when -- during the break when you said the phrase "strip club golf tournament," I legitimately said, "What is a strip club golf tournament?" I think, unfortunately --
AVLON: You're not alone.
HONIG: -- now we all know.
This is -- this is crazy. Politically speaking, forget about legal or anything like that. I'm going to give some straight political talk here. This is crazy. And it's crazy times two when you think about the Epstein and the Acosta overlay and imagery and the abuse of women and the exploitation of women. It all piles up, and it's inexplicable.
AVLON: You know what? The Republican Party's worst fever dream about what Bill Clinton did, you could not imagine this. And this is the party of family values once, which has apparently now just outright abandoned that moniker.
But with a president who's still supported by the vast majority of evangelicals, this is -- this is a caricature of -- of decadence and absurdity of sort of, like, a late Roman level. And they're still sticking by him.
LOUIS: I've got to point out, as a former caddie, among other things, this is taking, you know, some money out of the pockets of some legitimate kids who maybe --
AVLON: Thank you.
LOUIS: -- wanted to make some money this summer.
CAMEROTA: Oh, my gosh. I mean, Donald Trump, we know his favorite decade is the '80s. He's living in the '80s. But times have changed.
GOLODRYGA: This is like circa '75. This isn't even '80s.
CAMEROTA: Sure. Yes.
AVLON: I'm not even sure it's a '75 thing.
CAMEROTA: Circa Studio -- AVLON: From the basement of Studio 54.
BERMAN: Can I say, you can get a VIP upgrade, and they say "play and stay" for a thousand dollars.
CAMEROTA: What does that get you?
BERMAN: Three days, two nights stay with breakfast and transportation with a one-half-hour VIP room, bottle and club. It's a big-size value.
GOLODRYGA: Just look at that image, though.
CAMEROTA: Oh, my gosh.
AVLON: It's a big-size value.
BERMAN: That's what it says. And this is the president's golf club.
LOUIS: It's not for charity or anything?
LOUIS: No redeeming qualities here at all?
GOLODRYGA: For the children.
CAMEROTA: I like that you're trying, Errol. That's really -- that's great.
All right. Everyone, thank you on that note. Thank you very much.

One of the people who had fun dunking on people who follow the news and think for themselves was Glenn Greenwald. When Attorney General William Barr released his summary-not-a-summary of the Mueller Report, Glenn and his ilk had a fantastic time mocking people.
Special counsel Robert Mueller expressed concerns in a letter to Attorney General William Barr that Barr's four-page letter to Congress summarizing the "principal conclusions" of Mueller's findings didn't fully capture his 448-page report, according to a source with knowledge of Mueller's letter.
Later, Barr and Mueller spoke by phone and while Mueller didn't think Barr's letter was inaccurate, the special counsel believed his report was more nuanced on the obstruction of justice issue, according to Justice Department officials. Mueller was frustrated by media coverage, and wanted more of the report to come out, those officials told CNN.
So, the whole thing was fixed. Barr has no credibility now, none whatsoever. What we need to see now are hearings, unredacted elements of the Mueller Report, and a full scale inquiry into what the Attorney General was thinking when he obstructed justice when he failed to acknowledge that Trump obstructed justice.
Really, the whole thing is just one big obstruction, stretching from sea to shining sea. There’s so much obstruction of justice happening right now, it will take a decade to sort it all out.
Oh, and Greenwald has no credibility, either. If there was any justice, you’d never hear from him again. | <urn:uuid:894a9a6d-f2da-4019-9c39-5bc8ac937f96> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.anamericanlion.com/2019/04/glenn-greenwald-blew-it-again.html | 2020-07-16T17:14:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657172545.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716153247-20200716183247-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.979869 | 311 | [

Honoring the People Who Created What We’ve Inherited, as written by Tom Sherlock on coloradohealthcarehistory.com
The town of Leadville, where lead had been discovered in 1875, was incorporated in January 1878.
Horace A. W. Tabor, 48, became mayor and postmaster for the population of about 200, which was about to begin growing exponentially due to the discovery of gold and silver. Tabor eventually made about $9 million from his investments in mines including the Matchless, but he lost everything during the Panic of 1893.
In January 1879, the population of Leadville was 5,040, but in September, it was 40,000. Leadville was reported to have 4 banks, 17 barbershops, 31 restaurants, 51 grocery stores, and 120 saloons. The population of Colorado’s mining towns fluctuated wildly, but the1880 census showed the population of Denver to be 35,629.
A few days after Christmas 1878, three Sisters of Charity — Sister Bernard Mary Pendergast and Sister Mary Crescentia Fischer, who had just arrived in Denver from Leavenworth, and Sister Francis Xavier Davey, who had been at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver — left Denver to open a hospital in Leadville, the second biggest city in Colorado.
The Sisters were driven seventeen miles west, to about where Colfax Avenue ends today, where they boarded a stagecoach. A fellow passenger was former territorial governor John Evans, MD, a good friend of the Sisters at St. Joseph’s Hospital who was on his way to Fairplay. The stagecoach passengers were provided with buffalo robes and blankets for the snowy trip into the mountains.
The first two nights they stayed at wayside inns, and on the third morning, they got into a coach with runners instead of wheels, pulled through the deep snow by mules instead of horses. The three Sisters of Charity and their companions arrived in Leadville the evening of the third day.
The trip from Denver became much easier when the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad reached Leadville about a year later. The Sisters and the People of Leadville Build a Hospital On February 1, 1879, the Leadville Daily Chronicle reported that “Toward the end of December 1878, there came to Leadville over the rough roads and through the storm, [three] noble women. They had heard that up here on the wild mountain top was sickness, sorrow and despair, and they came to comfort.
“Up to that date it was the custom for men to crowd around a coach known to contain females on its arrival and not always were the remarks there heard belonging to gentlemen. But when the rough crowd saw the females here alluded to, they fell back in respectful silence, and many a rough, long-haired, coarsely appareled miner uncovered his head. The [three] were Sisters of Charity, come on an errand of mercy.”
The Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth had come to build a hospital at the request of local miners and the Catholic pastor, Henry Robinson, who had been pastor in Fairplay and then Alma before coming to Leadville, “the city of the clouds.”
Father Robinson had met Mother Xavier Ross and Sister Joanna Bruner on the train from Leavenworth to Denver in 1872 just prior to his ordination as a priest, and he said that he was so impressed that if he was ever in a town that needed a hospital, he would contact them.
The proprietor of the St. Nicholas Hotel insisted that the Sisters stay there until their hospital was completed. Leadville
Mayor Horace A.W. Tabor began the fundraising by donating $500, and the Sisters had enough to build a hospital within a month. W.H. Stevens, a successful miner, told the Sisters to pick one or more of the lots he owned, and he donated the land and paid the transfer fee himself.
During the first year the Sisters treated about a thousand patients. Leadville, which for some years was Colorado’s largest or second largest city, is at 10,152 ft. above sea level.
The building wasn’t nearly finished when someone saw the Sisters taking a look and carried in the first patient, Thomas Krating. Therefore, on March 13, 1879 — despite the lack of doors and windows — Sister Bernard Mary Pendergast, Sister Mary Crescentia Fischer, and Sister Francis Xavier Davey opened St. Vincent’s Hospital in Leadville.
St. Vincent’s was a two-story frame building with two wings, four wards, and twelve private rooms, for a total of 40 to 50 beds, and Sister Bernard Mary was administrator. At first, the Sisters slept on mattresses on the hospital kitchen floor, and a young man named Frank Wheatley made sure that there were guards outside every night until there were doors that the Sisters could lock.
Mother Josephine Cantwell, who since 1877 had been head of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, had been visiting Sisters in Montana. She surprised the Sisters at St. Vincent’s by arriving not long after opening — along with Sister Martha Meade, who joined the hospital staff in Leadville.
Mother Josephine, who was an excellent nurse, pitched right in, and the patients said that they were sorry to see her go after her short visit. She also peeled potatoes and washed dishes while she was there to give the Sisters a welcome break.
When Mother Josephine got back to Leavenworth, she sent Sister Anastasia Vasey and Sister Mary Marcelline McGrath to join the staff at St. Vincent’s Hospital. There were now six Sisters in Leadville.
In June 1879, a Daily Chronicle reporter described the hospital dining room: “Everything about the little room was scrupulously, almost painfully neat. The dishes were carefully arranged over the snow-white table spread ready for the evening meal and there was an air of comfort and home life about the room that made this shanty-bunking reporter feel ill at ease.”
The Sisters told the reporter that there were currently fifty patients in St. Vincent’s Hospital, that from March 13 to June 2, they had admitted 181 patients, and that most of the fourteen who had died had been barely alive when they were admitted. The reporter quoted one of the Sisters: “Here in this anxious, busy, exciting mining country, men are loath to lie down as long as there is a breath of life left in their bodies.”
When the reporter said that he himself was not Catholic, the Sister said, “That makes no difference. We never inquire about a patient’s religion. So long as there is room, we take all who come whatever may be their color, creed or nationality. Otherwise it would not be a charity.”
In 1972 the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth sold St. Vincent’s Hospital in Leadville to a new community hospital district there. Sister Michael Marie O’Leary and the Sisters turned the hospital over to a citizens’ board. Because the sale included a stipulation that the name had to change, it became St. Vincent Hospital.

…Six lanes of traffic, in each direction, sizzle in the heat as we leave the Phoenix airport on the first day of our Southwest adventure.
…Saguaro cactus replace tall buildings as we happily depart the city. Did you know it takes ten years for a Saguaro cactus to reach an inch in height? By seventy, it can grow to six feet tall but won’t produce its first arm until it is 95-100 years of age. It’s understandable they are protected as a wondrous species.
…A candlelit Chapel in the Rocks fills us with serenity as we soak in the beauty and spirituality of the red rocks of Sedona. It has been my heart home since my first visit years ago.
…The panorama of blues, burgundy, and pinks of the Painted Desert at dusk have inspired artists for generations. We take photos but they disappoint, not quite capturing the array of colors.
…The Petrified Forest is a graveyard of fallen tree trunks, now calcified into a rainbow of crystals. Near-by are the petroglyphs of Newspaper Rock and the ruins of Puerco Pueblo. Paleontologists continue to try and piece together the stories of its residents.
…We travel through Navajo lands on our way to Canyon de Chelly. Squalid houses on barren land speak to the poverty of these native Americans. I question the old tires on the flat roofs. I am told the monsoon winds rip off the tin roofs. The tires hold them down. The contrast between the tiny homes and the majestic sandstone cliffs and spires of the nearby canyon is striking.
…Monument Valley is a magnificent red-sand desert bordering Arizona and Utah, known for its towering sandstone buttes. We are told we can drive through a section of it. We are not told the road is rutted out and, in some places, covered with six inches of sand. Our rental car wheezes and bumps but fortunately, we make it without having to get out and push. Later, we sit on the porch of our little rental house and watch the sun set over the buttes of the red valley. Unforgettable!
…Jerome is an old copper mining town, perched on the side of a hill. The houses slip down the mountain about an inch a year. The ghost town has become an artist mecca, filling the old houses with something better than copper – gorgeous jewelry, pottery, and paintings. On top of the hill is a huge structure known as the Asylum. Constructed of steel and concrete to withstand the winds, it was once a hospital for the 3000+ men who toiled in the mines; later a mental hospital and now a hotel and restaurant. The narrow, dark halls, period furniture and paintings are background for the stories of ghosts that do, we’re told, walk the halls at night. We were there for lunch so didn’t get to meet them.
…The Cicadas awakened me in the cowboy town of Prescott, serenading us with their unusual song. It repels birds, saving the large insects from being eaten. They can produce sound in excess of 120 decibels at close range, which approaches the pain threshold for human ears. As we wandered around Prescott’s quaint downtown area with its courthouse square, Whiskey Row saloons and interesting shops, the Cicadas sang on.
…The grandeur of the Grand Canyon defies description. The South Rim drive has pull-offs that allow you to walk to the edge and take pictures that don’t come anywhere near capturing its magnificence. The colors change from lavender to blue to gray to pink, depending on the light. The canyon also makes people a little crazy. They perch their babies on the rocky rim and step away to take photos. They fly drones into the abyss to try and get a closer view, even though it’s illegal to do so. They climb over barriers and hang over the side of the canyon even though signs clearly say, “Thou shalt not…” Several people have died there this summer from their own foolishness. At one overlook, a wrinkled Navajo woman sat under a tree, her beaded jewelry arranged on a smooth rock in front of her. She displayed a nearly toothless grin when we stopped to look at her creations. I, of course, brought several of them home. I had never seen the canyon at sunset, so in the evening, we rushed to the Watch Tower and oohed and aahed at the spectacle in the round, along with dozens of other tourists. The temperature dropped from 90 degrees to 40 in minutes as the golden crimson light left the canyon in darkness. We walked back to our car in silence, awed by wonder of it all.

John Newman oversees 6 churches in Nkwanta and its surrounding villages, where there are more than 21,000 people (45% are idol worshippers and 25% are Muslims). He resigned his teaching job to become a full-time church planter. He has been married since 1986 and is blessed with 4 children.
The following is John's latest report from the mission field. Please join us in thanking God and asking for his continued work:
1. Thank God for my daughter’s safe delivery. She has a baby boy. Jemimah has also finished writing her WASSCE exams safely. We are very grateful to God.
2. We thank God for protecting and providing for us throughout last month.
3. There was a successful Mother’s Day celebration. This special day was celebrated by appreciation for our mothers with gifts and praying for them to live longer and in good health.
4. There was a Women Empowerment leaders’ program for the Atwode and Adele/Nkwanta areas. Leaders from Christian Leadership Training Institute came to teach women on how to live a healthy life and how to worship God.
1. Pray that my daughter who just completed senior high will come out successful and financial doors will open so that she can continue to the tertiary level.
2. Pray that my son Emmanuel, who will also finish his National service in July, will be led by God to a good job which will not hinder his Christianity.
3. Pray for God’s intervention for one devoted woman, Kumah Vivian, who is suffering from a severe stomach ulcer, has a marriage problem, and also has a son suffering from epilepsy. | <urn:uuid:084aca8f-d76e-43fc-9fa2-2b32514c98d0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.ghanachristianmission.com/post/newman-thanks-and-requests | 2020-07-06T12:04:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880616.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706104839-20200706134839-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.980462 | 350 | [

With Nor-Fishing 2016 just days away, we caught up with Cato Esperø, Wärtsilä’s Director of Sales for Marine Solutions and Services in Norway, and asked a few questions about the fishing business, the exhibition in Trondheim – and whether the fishing industry is prepared to meet the digital and innovation revolution that is now common-place in the marine sector.
Why is Wärtsilä at Nor-Fishing this year?
Wärtsilä always participates in Nor-Fishing. It’s one of the three important international exhibitions in Norway that we participate in – along with Nor-Shipping and the Oil & Gas trade show ONS in Stavanger. Nor-Fishing is important to the North Sea countries like Norway, Iceland, Sweden, UK, Russia, and Denmark, and you will also see shipyards and suppliers from all over Europe and also probably from the Far East who are interested in displaying their services.
What are the key propositions that Wärtsilä is bringing to the fishing market?
In the fishing market and fishing industry – and the fish farming industry which is also growing – the vessel types are becoming bigger, and more sophisticated. This is a very important area for Wärtsilä. We also see that in these types of vessels, there’s a great deal of innovation happening. Fishing vessel owners and operators are very innovative in their approach in how they do business, and we are part of that innovation.
What we are focusing on for this segment is from a large part of our product portfolio. This year, we will “launch” the Wärtsilä 31 engine at Nor-Fishing for the fishing industry, the Guinness World Award-winning medium-speed engine which fits perfectly for this market. We will present our propulsion solutions such as the 2-speed gear box and a new thruster generation, which contribute to increased efficiency, reduced fuel consumption and significantly reduced maintenance costs. This year, we will also focus on hybrid solutions, combining engines and batteries to make the vessels even more fuel-efficient. Batteries will give new ways to operate and it can also be a new step to reduce operations maintenance; and a wide range of other products and solutions, such as Electrical and Automation products which can be used by this market. Ship design is also a big focus for us. Throughout the years, we have been part of delivering a large quantity of vessel design to the whole North Sea fleet.
What can visitors to Nor-Fishing look forward to from Wärtsilä in Trondheim next week?
Our customers and other guests can meet key people and subject matter experts from various parts of the organisation. We will have a mini seminar in the exhibition area where will “relaunch” the Wärtsilä 31 and also showcase the hybrid combinations and solutions to the industry. There will be plenty of opportunity to look through the products. There will also be entertainment with some interesting artists, supporting the efforts of the main cast – the Wärtsilä team – at Nor-Fishing.
Wärtsilä is known for its innovative solutions. You also mentioned that fishing vessel owners are themselves very innovative in their approach. What innovations do you see in the future for fishing vessels?
For fishing vessels, owners are very focused on operational excellence, and solutions and equipment suppliers that are reliable. For both fishing vessels and salmon live fish carriers, the owners are focused on having solutions in their vessels that support the superior quality of their products. From harvesting their products, to the handling process, to the quality management process, and across the entire chain – they want to ensure the high quality of the products that they bring to the market. When you have hundreds of tonnes of fresh fish that are harvested and brought on board the vessel, you need to have solutions that help to maintain the quality of these products. The companies that sell fish are selling quality products to quality-conscious consumers. They need suppliers who can support their focus on quality, listen to their needs, and play a part in bringing that quality from the sea to the customer. So, reliable vessels with reliable solutions ensure that the quality is maintained from sea to market.
There is a lot of talk in the marine industry about the digital revolution. Do you see the fishing segment adopting those digital practises also, or will they remain unchanged for some time?
In my opinion, fishing vessels will also adopt the technologies of the future. The vessel owners and companies are very innovative, and they want to have the best solutions. They are very open to new ideas and changes taking place in the industry. Of course, it varies from owner to owner. Some are in the forefront of change, while others are more patient and wait to see how the new solutions are impacting their industry, because it is also a balancing act between functionality and benefits, and the cost of adopting these changes. But overall, we will see a gradual change into more digital solutions, because that’s the way the industry is heading, and the vessel owners are seeing these changes happen all around them.
Cato Esperø and the Wärtsilä team will be at Nor-Fishing 2016
in Trondheim, Norway, from 16 to 19 August, 2016. | <urn:uuid:b5c44792-f30d-4454-8382-7b62b1acf0bf> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.wartsila.com/media/articles/the-quality-of-the-fish-you-eat-its-not-just-about-the-fish | 2020-07-06T13:04:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880616.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706104839-20200706134839-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.967759 | 1,097 | [

It is budget season in Raleigh!
The North Carolina House of Representatives recently released their budget, and the Senate released their version of the budget last week. Now, the two chambers will convene a conference committee to hash out the differences and send a budget to Governor Cooper. In this piece, I will highlight several of the Senate budget provisions related to health care.
State funding for the Medicaid program would rise to $3.92 billion in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20 and $4.13 billion FY 2020-21. There would be a Medicaid rebase appropriation of $37.3 million for FY 2019-20 and $203.6 million for FY 2020-21. Medicaid rebase is the increase in spending to cover the projected increase in enrollment, utilization, prices, and other factors.
Medicaid expansion has been one of the most quarrelsome issues during this legislative session. Despite Gov. Cooper’s threat of an automatic veto of any budget that does not include appropriations for expanding the state’s program for certain low-income individuals, neither the Senate nor the House has included funding for it. The governor, Senate and House Democrats, and a small group of House Republicans each have introduced proposals to expand Medicaid. The proposals share fundamental problems that are very likely to lead to budget instability. The proposals are unlikely to lower costs for the private insurance markets, and they even may raise them. The House and Senate would be wise to keep any Medicaid expansion proposal out of the budget and instead focus on proposals that embrace market-oriented policies to address root causes of high health care costs.
Certificate of Need
The Senate budget includes provisions to amend the state’s archaic Certificate of Need (CON) laws. In brief, CON laws require a permission slip from a state planning board to build or expand health care facilities. The Senate budget includes a section borrowing language from Senate Bill 646 that would remove several facilities from the requirement, including ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic centers, kidney disease treatment centers, chemical dependency treatment facilities, psychiatric hospitals, among others. Readers of the John Locke Foundation’s research updates know the negative impact these laws can have. CON laws allow politically powerful insiders to make decisions about the supply of health care in a given community, while also artificially raising prices and limiting supply. This section of the budget will be a significant step toward devolving power from government bureaucrats to patients and allow the private market to meet the demand of North Carolinians.
Innovation Waiver Slots
Under the North Carolina Medicaid Program, known as the Innovation Waiver, there is an opportunity for individuals with intellectual or development disabilities to receive the care they need in their home or community setting, rather than an institutional setting. Currently, there are as many as 12,000 individuals on the waiting list to receive a waiver for home care. The Senate budget would appropriate $32.6 million over the biennium for an additional 1,000 waiver slots for this program.
Mental Health Funding
The Senate budget would appropriate $35.4 million in recurring funds for an additional 100 school psychologist positions. This move would help to address the troubling trend of increased rates of mental health issues among children and young adults. Also, to assist with mental health issues in our schools, the Senate budget would provide $10 million in recurring funds for a mental health support grant for public schools to employ, contract with, and train mental health professionals and additional health support services.
Amid an ongoing national opioid crisis that claims 130 lives a day in overdoses, the Senate has allocated additional funding for addressing this opioid crisis in North Carolina. An additional $10 million would be appropriated over the biennium to be used for substance abuse services for treatment and recovery options and to prevent and reduce prescription opioid misuse. Also, the budget would allocate $75,000 for drug overdose reversal medication to the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition, an organization that focuses on reducing health consequences that arise from drug use, sex work, and high-risk activities. Similarly, $25,000 would be allocated to North Carolina law enforcement agencies for the same medication.
Lastly, the Senate budget includes a Telehealth Pilot Program. Telehealth, sometimes referred to as telemedicine, is an innovative, growing method for patients to receive different forms of care from the provider at a distance through telecommunications. In particular, this technology can help address the physician care shortage by connecting patients virtually to the nearest provider and specialist in the state or eventually anywhere in the country. The pilot program would appropriate $500,000 in FY 2019-20 for the purchase of telehealth or telemedicine infrastructure and equipment for Robeson, Bladen, and Columbus counties in southeast North Carolina. | <urn:uuid:e665418b-7d36-42e7-9714-7717fe343018> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.johnlocke.org/update/senate-budget-highlights-health-care/ | 2020-07-10T14:10:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655908294.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710113143-20200710143143-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.943759 | 958 | [

Travel to Lombok from other parts of Indonesia can be easily arranged either by air transportation, bus and ferries. Travelers to Lombok can start the journey from Bali on the west and Sumbawa on the east. Regular flights and buses serves from both islands. It is easy to book flights from Bali to Lombok as well as get on the public bus connecting by ferry from Bali.
When entering Indonesia it is important to remember that you must have at least 6 month validity on your passport to enter and also to check the customs regulations that are always subject to change but generally limit alcohol cigarettes and perfume as well as fruits and plant life and photographic materials. Customs otherwise is usually very painless indeed and it is always easy to find transport from the airport or seaports to where you need to go. Now marked taxis are the best method to go for as you can ask to be put on the meter and you will only pay the set amount where as the unmarked cabs are illegal and based on agreed prices that are almost always expensive and although it is rare can lead to undesired circumstances for travelers. Another method if you are trying to save on a little cash then track down the local public bemo transport that costs next to nothing and is frequent due to this being the way the locals get around. Not only does this have a certain street ethnic feel it is also a very good system.
Travel to Lombok in the first place is probably best done from Bali where there are far more incoming flights, there are flights from the eastern areas and from Sumba but no or few flights that are direct from Jakarta although it is always worth checking for up to date information before you set off. A flight from Bali will be very inexpensive using Garuda Air or any of the smaller Indonesian companies. Travel to Lombok can also be conducted by the use of a hired vehicle that can be easily obtained in most areas, it is important to remember that it is illegal to drive in Indonesia without an international license from your country and a helmet and stamp for motorbikes if you wish to use a motor bike. The police are on to this and have been known to stop tourists as they often request that the offender pas a smaller fine by the road then going back to the station. Most of the main roads are good in Lombok although many can be very bad indeed which means the only vehicle that is practical to hire is a large off-road vehicle with a longer wheel base and higher suspension. Many find using a bike easier as they can have more power up the steeper hills and can avoid the sometimes huge pot hole in the road, this of course depends on what kind of use you are going to need from your transport.
The other main precaution to take it to avoid all offers from kids and locals in terms of selling anything, services such as footbaths and bag carrying. Bag carrying should only cost 2000 at the most as should a mosquito coil which is often a weapon of choice although they never settle for even double or triple this at the minimum. Ignore them and say no thanks as they are crafty and will try and talk you into buying things, also thief in these situations can happen although it is uncommon.
Travel to Lombok Island is another holiday experience in Indonesia. There are many interesting tourist places around Lombok.

(FOX 9) - Minnesota Senator Tina Smith is calling on the Department of Justice to investigate the practices of the Minneapolis Police Department, she announced Monday, also taking aim at Police Union President Lt. Bob Kroll.
Sen. Smith wrote that Lt. Kroll is "emblematic of the problems we have in the MPD — the abuse of power & racism we must root out. I’m calling on the DOJ to examine the pattern & practice of racial discrimination & violent policing at MPD so we can end it."
Lt. Kroll has received increased criticism after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody on May 25. Earlier Monday, former Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau called for Police Union President Lt. Bob Kroll to step down after a letter to union members surfaced in which Kroll blamed politicians and local leaders for the riots in Minneapolis.
On Twitter Monday, Harteau shared a screenshot of an email from Kroll to the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis. In the message, Kroll called the riots a “terrorist movement” and the escalating unrest is occurring because officers have “lacked support from the top.” | <urn:uuid:c5c2fa19-1562-4799-a571-508bfb8d1880> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.fox9.com/news/sen-tina-smith-calls-for-doj-to-investigate-minneapolis-police | 2020-07-12T06:22:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.955946 | 239 | [

Campus Housing & Community Living
The residence hall community is truly where it is at. You’ll get connected, find support, and be a part of the campus. Students are required to live on campus for 2 academic years (4 semesters). Nearly all freshmen and sophomore, and many junior, senior and graduate-level students live on campus.
Housing On Campus
Housing at SUNY Plattsburgh offers a safe, secure, well-maintained environment.
In our residence halls, we address the academic, personal and social needs of our students. Our residence halls provide opportunities for students to engage in leadership roles, interact with other students by attending activities, seek academic support services such as advising and tutoring, or just hang out with friends in lounges equipped with TVs, pool tables, ping-pong tables, and a variety of other fun stuff! Living on campus is fun, exciting and challenging! We have a strong sense of community, which values understanding and respect, and students play a central role in creating it.
We house students in double rooms and limited single rooms. We sometimes will need to place some first year students in triples based on the spaces we have available, but guarantee that the first 750 incoming students to apply for housing, will not be placed in a triple.
Stay on Campus, Stay in School!
SUNY Plattsburgh recognizes that students with disabilities may require a specific type of housing accommodation to fully participate in the residential aspects of living on the campus. In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the subsequent Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended in 2008, SUNY Plattsburgh provides equal access to educational programs, including housing, and safeguards against discrimination for qualified students with disabilities as defined by the ADA. Students seeking such an accommodation should follow the procedure outlined here, Housing Accommodation Policy. | <urn:uuid:ffaaf71b-2b9e-48b6-a297-5a88b971ee1d> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.plattsburgh.edu/plattslife/housing/living-on-campus.html | 2020-07-12T05:31:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.947943 | 389 | [

Best Rejection Letter
I received the best rejection letter from an agent today.
Best rejection letter? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Early this week, an agent I queried requested to see my full manuscript. Now today, only about three days later, I received a reply from her saying that she is not offering representation at this time, but gave me a long list of very excellent, thoughtful suggestions as well as comments about aspects of the story she likes.
To make it even better, most of the suggestions she made are things I had already mulled over in my head and wasn’t sure if I should take the plunge to make those changes. So having her opinion on it gives me an extra boost to rewrite just a little bit more… | <urn:uuid:0be0b870-131b-458a-a984-f57c76e7f586> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.annegreenawalt.com/2010/06/best-rejection-letter.html | 2020-07-16T03:38:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657181335.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716021527-20200716051527-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.980375 | 165 | [

Mohamed Salah scored his sixth goal of the 2019/20 Premier League campaign while Sadio Mane netted his seventh when Liverpool extended their lead over Manchester City to nine points Sunday.
The Reds won 3-1 at Anfield to leave last season's champions fourth. Liverpool are now eight points clear of nearest rivals Leicester City and Chelsea after Fabinho also got on the scoresheet.
City's local rivals Manchester United earlier moved up to seventh thanks to a 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford among the goalscorers.
While United were winning, Wolverhampton Wanderers were busy beating Aston Villa in a Midlands derby at Molineux. Ruben Neves once again showed his speciality for finding the net from distance, while Raul Jimenez scored for the third match in a row in all competitions.

If it was a shock to see Fabinho open the scoring on six minutes at Anfield, there should have been no surprise about Salah doubling the advantage seven minutes later.
Liverpool's main man in attack has established an impressive streak of dominance in the red half of Merseyside:
Mane was determined not to be outdone by his strike partner, and Liverpool's No. 10 headed in his team's third six minutes into the second half. Mane had Jordan Henderson to thank after the midfielder dazzled on the wing before teasing in a precise cross.
Bernardo Silva got one back for City, but a team missing too many talented players in defence, particularly goalkeeper Ederson and centre-back Aymeric Laporte, could get no closer.
By contrast, United were in rampant mood early on, with two of the hosts' three goals being scored inside the first 20 minutes. Andreas Pereira got on the scoresheet for a rare time after being played in by Anthony Martial, while Davy Propper unwittingly turned in Scott McTominay's shot two minutes later.
Brighton boss Graham Potter needed to make a change and wisely brought Pascal Gross off the bench for the second half. The creative midfielder's introduction paid dividends on 64 minutes when he swung in a corner Lewis Dunk powered beyond David De Gea.
United didn't stay rocked for long, though, with Martial again providing the spark by playing in Rashford two minutes after the restart. The England international didn't waste his chance to keep alive a creditable scoring run:
Rashford is a striker in form, and so is Jimenez, who made the points safe for a nervy Wolves side six minutes from time.
The hosts were clinging to a slender lead given to them on 41 minutes when Neves swept in a shot in trademark fashion after being teed up by fellow Portuguese midfield ace Joao Moutinho:
Wolves struggled to add to the lead, however, allowing Villa to gain confidence and come back into the game against a side weary after Thursday's 1-0 win over Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Europa League.
A fresher Villa team was threatening to equalise when Adama Traore broke free in the 84th minute and found Jimenez. The classy No. 9 made no mistake with the low finish to keep pace with Raheem Sterling in the overall scoring charts:
Trezeguet struck back with a fine volley in stoppage time, with the ball judged to have crossed the line before it was cleared. It wasn't enough for Villa, though, leaving Wolves to move up to eighth and close the gap on those in the European places. | <urn:uuid:8a68ee9c-0765-4fd9-a656-90309cb8570f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2862060-premier-league-table-week-12-sundays-2019-epl-top-scorers-and-results | 2020-07-16T05:04:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657181335.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716021527-20200716051527-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.900352 | 1,242 | [

CA air quality board considers easing diesel rules
LOS ANGELES – California air quality officials are considering giving small trucking operations more time to comply with new rules to clean up diesel emissions.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the proposal would push back deadlines by a few years for small fleets, lightly used trucks and those in rural areas with cleaner air.
The state Air Resources Board says even with the changes the state could still achieve 93 percent of pollution cuts envisioned through 2023. A vote is planned for Thursday.
The changes under consideration come in response to pressure from small trucking firms and owner-operators who have pleaded for more time to comply with rules requiring them to install costly new diesel particulate filters or upgrade to cleaner models. The rules took effect this year. | <urn:uuid:7dae5fcd-e04a-4a1a-acec-e3c52676a13e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2014/04/21/california-air-quality-diesel-emissions/7969767/ | 2020-07-16T04:02:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657181335.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716021527-20200716051527-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.960458 | 156 | [

Type: Worker Placement/ Euro
Time to play: 75-90 minutes (Teaching: 15 minutes)
Best played with: 4 Player (2 – 4 Players)
The idea of the Mayan calendar as a game structure seemed as obscure and try to me as nearly anything I had heard, but I am very glad that I conquered that belief and gave this game ago. A board with gears that move your workers as time passes is challenging to play, difficult to master and incredibly entertaining – despite a lot of beige on the board.
So what’s so interesting about this game – well it is all in those gears and the rules for worker placement (and removal). The simple version of this, is that you will have a choice in your turn – load the board with a piece, or remove as many as you wish in order to take their respective actions. That sounds like an easy choice, but for every turn you leave them on the gears they will grow in strength – grow until they have gone too long on the gear and are removed.
Every turn the gear turns, every turn your options vary and your existing meeples on the board bring new options. So then, it’s time to balance the benefits available now with those in the future. Balance the need to take the action, with the desire to place another meeple and get more in the future. Also, bear in mind that when you remove meeples you may remove one or many (even all)! Efficiency then tells you to try and get all of them down, and then all of them back – every turn puling pieces back is a turn lost to placing them (and there’s quite a bit of truth in that).
The balancing act that you will walk through the game is very tricky and with more pieces that puzzle will increase. A balance made more difficult by technology trees and religious tracks. Each of these offers great rewards to players able to utilise them. Add in buildings which give you different benefits again, and you really have a complex puzzle.
If all of that is not enough, then it’s time to talk about scoring. Scoring that occurs 4 times in the game (well kind of two given the different types of food days!). Food days require you to feed your people but reward you with either rewards or victory points. With just those couple of chances to collect points within the game, being ready and able to is key (particularly the God tracks!).
As this is not a rules teach though I won’t break out the different gears and the specifics of what’s available to you. It’s enough to say that you are balancing the need for food for your workers, resources for your future plans and then the need to actually score victory points. This is a game with a lot to it, and a lot to learn through trial and error. Just as a warning though, it can be a punishing set of lessons. Other players seem to be doing almost equivalent moves, moves that are different in timing or the gear chosen but difficult to read until four turns later! Also, early mistakes or successes will compound and catching the gap may be very challenging.
This tricky learning curve presents lots of paths to victory – but this is not a points salad game where you are rewarded for everything or specifically for diversification. This is a game where you can save on food but get more resources, a game where technology can give you different advantages and a game where the worship of different Gods is necessary but challenging.
The addition of scoring for crystal skulls and other individual points from the actions of others will add more richness to the game and I haven’t spoken at all of the expansion which I sadly have not played but heard much about!
One short warning though, despite being a mid-weight game and with a fantastic engine, it’s tricky to get to the table. The set up is longer with less than four players (blocking the board with pseudo players) and the aesthetics of the board can put of some players who would prefer the kickstarter production values. It’s not a condemnation of the game, or a suggestion that such criticism is fair, but I would say that I find it hard to otherwise explain why this game doesn’t more frequently get back to the table.

Personnel of the Nigerian Army and that of Nigeria Police Force clashed in Zaria over a judgement passed by a Mobile Court sitting at Agoro in Zaria local government area of Kaduna state, against a soldier for violating the states’ lockdown order on Monday.
An eye witness, Mallam Sani Samaila, a resident of the area told Blueprint that the fracas erupted when a Policeman arrested the soldier and arraigned him before the Court for violating the lockdown order
He said he was tried and fined the sum of N5,000 and his motorcycle was impounded pending when he pays the fine.
The witness said the soldier left his motorcycle and rushed down to his barrack some metres away from the Court’s and invited his colleagues to forcefully retrieve his bike from the Court without paying the fine but the Police attached the Court denied him access to the bike.
Mallam pointed out that if not for the intervention of Secretary of Road Transport Employer Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Zaria Local Government branch, Mallam Nasir Shafi’i and DPO, Zaria City Division, CSP Kasim Abdul the situation would have been out of control as the Police and soldiers allegedly fired many gun shots into the air.
He however, said there was no casualty during the fracas
Blueprint gathered that the Court Magistrate and other Court staff narrowly escape from miscreants who almost set a filling station on fire.
When contacted, the Kaduna state Police Command’s spokesman, ASP Muhammad Jalige, said he would called Area Commander, Zaria Area Command and get back to our correspondent. | <urn:uuid:80aab669-5426-4a4b-8d95-16f065421eb0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.blueprint.ng/army-police-clash-over-mobile-court-judgement-in-zaria/ | 2020-07-05T00:33:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886802.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704232817-20200705022817-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.970708 | 335 | [

Happy Monday Friends! On Friday I mentioned that I had been on a design binge. I used the word “binge” because that is really what it felt like to me. For 3 days, I rarely made contact with the outside world. Me and my bestie traveled to a town 3 hours away and worked on a house that I’ve been consulting on since it was being built. When we got there, we worked, ate, worked, and ate. There was minimal sleeping. I was on a design high most of the time watching color fill the rooms and images in my mind become a reality. When we finished up 3 days later, complete exhaustion set in and I literally felt like I had ran a marathon. Emily and I were both in a state of delirium at the end and it’s taken us multiple days to recover. But as I’m sitting here editing these photos, I’m more than certain our design marathon was all worth it! Today, I’m sharing some finished photos of the dining room. Tomorrow I’ll go into more detail and all the pieces we created and why I chose them!
Below: From the living area (another room to be revealed soon)! 🙂 | <urn:uuid:cc45af41-ba65-4490-b210-b191768cfcbf> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://karapaslaydesigns.com/layered-and-luxe-dining-room/ | 2020-07-07T02:37:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891640.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707013816-20200707043816-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.980592 | 255 | [

Well the reveal has finally happened so now I can share with you the items I made and sent to my Secret Sister. My Secret Sister was Sonia Garbutt and I was so excited to have her as my partner this round.
Sonia let me know in her questionnaire that she loves Not Quite Navy. I do too but I hadn’t used it in ages. The stamp sets she listed as some of her favourites were: Great Friend (from the Spring Mini which was still available at the time), Snow Swirled and Circle Circus. No surprises that I love the Great Friend stamp set too and I have the other 2 but was yet to use Snow Swirled and hadn’t used Circle Circus much either so my aim was to incorporate all this into the items I made for her.
If you followed along with my posts from the last round you may know that each month we needed to send 2 handmade cards and 1 handmade gift. The final gift needs to include $30 of Stampin’ Up product preferably items from our Secret Sisters Wish List. The gifts for the other 2 months are only small. Mind you that’s only the minimum requirements so it’s up to each player if they want to spoil their Sister just that little bit more.
I’m going to break the posts down to encourage you to come back and see what else I made but also to give me some time to recreate some new items to share with you. Hubby goes back to work on Monday (yahoo) so I should be able to sneak in a little more creating time as he’s just wanted to go out all the time while he’s been off. I think he needs to get himself a hobby (well one that lasts longer than a few month fad anyway….hahaha). As I said to him this morning, he might have closed his business for the Christmas/New Year break but my duties around the house don’t stop. Imagine trying to catch up on washing and ironing for 6 people if I took the 11 days off too. I’d hate to think what state my floor would be in too. I need time at home.
So the first item I sent to Sonia was a card. I was enjoying making the Tri-Fold cards at the time so this is what I made.
I’ve started with a Not Quite Navy card base, added piece of Urban Garden DSP to the top and bottom panels. The centre panels have some Kiwi Kiss added with an additional layer of decorated Whisper White to the 1st & 3rd panels. I’ve use the Great Friend stamp set, a touch of Baja Breeze striped grosgrain ribbon, some 1/2 backed pearls from the Pretties Kit and a retired button.
Tomorrows items keep with the same theme so come back and see what her 2nd card and October gift were.

Unlike those in Germany, France or the Netherlands, waterways in Poland are mostly empty. The lack of barges or other large vessels moving along them means that traffic is very light. Additionally, water tourism in Poland is developing slowly. When cruising Polish waterways on very long routes, you will meet hardly anyone apart from local anglers in their boats.
The waterways in Poland are green and clean; you will often cruise through corridors of greenery and nature reserves. Most of the canals are surrounded by lush vegetation, and almost all of the rivers are suitable for swimming and fishing.
All hydraulic engineering structures (locks, inclined planes with boat cradles, etc.) are open throughout the season (except when being repaired). Most of these structures were built a long time ago and are well maintained. You will feel like you are visiting a hydraulic engineering museum! The service is usually friendly and helpful.
While on waterways in Poland, you may encounter many birds and other animals, including rare species like beaver, elk, deer and white eagles.
The Oder, Warta, and Noteć rivers, the Oberland (Elbląski) Canal, the Nogat river and the Żuławy Loop can be navigated by almost any type of boat. The upper and middle part of the Vistula river, and the Bug, Narew and Pisa rivers are the most beautiful waterways in Poland, but are navigable only for vessels with a maximum scantling draft of 30 cm.
Marinas are being built on the Oder, Warta, and Noteć rivers, the Oberland (Elbląski) Canal, the Nogat river and the Żuławy Loop. In terms of comfort, with some exceptions, they are not as developed as the marinas and ports in Germany, France or the Netherlands. The most beautiful night accommodation is on a river or canal, surrounded by greenery.
Polish waterways are safe and crime-free. Local people are open and friendly to tourists cruising the rivers.
There are no filling stations on waterways in Poland, except for in the Masuria region, the Zegrze Reservoir (Zalew Zegrzyński) and Gdańsk. However, every town and city has filling stations where you can buy fuel.
All small towns and villages have their own grocery shops. | <urn:uuid:0466d8f5-44dd-4aed-9f43-b4a515cb7d3b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.waterways.pl/en/waterways-poland-general-information.html | 2020-07-08T23:33:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655897707.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708211828-20200709001828-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.963376 | 495 | [

Cedar Fence Construction
- Written by Calgary Fence & Deck
- Hits: 3375
This beautiful six foot high western red cedar fence replaced an old worn out fence that was ready to fall down. Fencing contractors like to install cedar because it's lighter and softer than pressure treated lumber, as well as having superior dimensional stability and less imperfections. Cedar is also kiln dried from the mill unlike pressure treated wood that comes soaking wet - the difference is that you can stain or paint your cedar fence right away instead of waiting for it to dry out for months. Another consideration is that you can achieve little to no visible gaps between cedar fence boards because they are already dried, versus pressure treated fence boards which will shrink slightly after installation as they dry out leaving 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch gap between each board. | <urn:uuid:9b607a80-f5ea-411a-807c-2984278201be> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://calgaryfence.ca/recent-projects/7-cedar-fence-construction | 2020-07-12T12:18:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657138718.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712113546-20200712143546-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.965432 | 172 | [

What happens when, after contracting a financial product, the investor does not recover the investment in the time and installments established in the contract? What happens at that time is what is called “credit risk”, that is, the probability that one of the parties to the financial product contract will default on its contractual obligations when it finds itself in a situation of insolvency or inability to pay. Due to this breach, it will produce an economic loss to the other party.
Although traditionally this phenomenon has been related to financial institutions
It can also be extended to companies, individuals, financial markets and organizations in other sectors. For example, when companies finance a product to their customers, when suppliers charge thirty days or when an investor buys a bond: they all have the risk of not receiving the amounts stipulated in the contract in the established time.
On the other hand, market risk (which also includes currency, price, volatility risk, etc.) has a systemic risk component, that derived from the global uncertainty of the market that affects more or less lower grade to all the existing assets in the economy and that cannot be completely eliminated.
Types of credit risk
As we have seen in previous lines, credit risk can occur both in financial institutions and in companies, markets or government agencies. Likewise, it can be supported by different economic agents, on which credit risk can be defined. Credit risk on companies: this risk occurs when, after the sale of a product in installments, the customer falls into default. To avoid this type of situation, what should be done is to hire an external service that is in charge of studying the credit risk of the customer who has requested the installment payment.
Credit risk on individuals
all of us bear the credit risk in many of our daily activities, from depositing our savings in a financial institution to working for others or carrying out larger investment operations. However, a series of legal measures have been established that limit this credit risk of individuals. In the case of bank deposits, there is the Deposit Guarantee Fund (FGD), and in the case of non-payment of wages, the Salary Guarantee Fund (FOGASA) has been created.
Credit risk on financial institutions: the financial product that is most exposed to credit risk is the loan, whether it is aimed at individuals or companies. For this reason, financial institutions usually carry out very exhaustive credit risk studies and include additional clauses in contracts such as the assignment of personal guarantees that, in the event of non-payment, cover the amount owed.
There are two large credit risk groups in a financial company that report directly to the counterparty
On the one hand, retail credit risk, which is the one that originates mainly from the financing activity of individuals and SMEs, such as loans, credits or any financing activity related to them. On the other hand, there would be the wholesale credit risk, which is somewhat more complex by including the counterparty risk, which may come from financing activities or from the entity’s own activity when carrying out a sale or merger and acquisition operations. .
Example of credit risk
Next, we are going to see a series of scenarios in which credit risk models are reproduced.
Default or default risk: this is the risk that is generated when the person to whom a loan is granted does not fulfill its obligations when repaying it.
Credit downgrade risk: This type of risk is also known as a migration or downgrade risk. It refers to the risk that rating agencies lower the value of a loan.
Exposure risk: in this case, it refers to the risk that exists on the payments that the creditor must make in the future.
Credit spread risk: specifically, it is the risk that the yield of a bond increases in relation to another that has the same maturity date.
Credit risk assessment: how is credit risk calculated?
Once we have established the concept of credit risk and the different types that exist in the financial market, we are going to see how to evaluate, in a very simple way, the credit risk of an operation.
To do this, we will need to manage the following variables: the concept of expected loss, loss in the event of default, exposure to default and the probability of default or default.
Probability of default (PD): PD (Probability of default) is a credit rating measure that is awarded to a client or contract with the aim of estimating the probability that it will default on payment in one year.
Exposure to default (EAD): the EAD (Exposition at default) is another of the necessary indicators in the calculation of the expected loss and capital. It is defined as the amount of debt that is pending payment at the time the customer breaches the contract.
- Loss on default (LGD): Severity or LGD (Loss given default) is another key metric in risk analysis and is defined as the percentage of exposure at risk that is not expected to be recovered in case of default.
Thus, the credit risk indicators that we are going to use to generate our formula are the following:
Expected Loss = Probability of default or probability of default risk (PD) x Exposure to default or position value at the moment of default risk (EAD) x Loss in case of Default (LGD).
Formula: PE = PD x EAD x LGD
Finally, we are going to see a practical example so that the calculation is seen more clearly. Imagine a person with a mortgage of 300,000 dollars, with an interest of 4% at 30 years. The risk department determines that there is a 2% possibility of default at 30 years. In addition, it estimates a recovery of 60%, which means that 40% will be lost. Therefore, applying our formula, the expected loss would be:
PE = 0.02 x 300,000 x 0.4 = $ 2,400.
Now you can get a more complete idea of what a credit risk entails, as well as the credit model policies based on these risks.
One way to minimize the impact it may have on your business organization or your financial investments is to anticipate a possible default situation on the payment of a loan and mortgage to find financing options that less affect your financial stability. A good option may be to request a personal credit online. The advantage of these loans is that by completing a very simple procedure through the internet you can instantly access a credit line of up to 5000 dollars. In the case of Creditea, in addition, you can establish very flexible payment installments that adapt comfortably to your financial situation or that of your company. | <urn:uuid:b440991b-014d-4ef5-8938-00f0bc171906> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.thoughtsphilosophies.com/credit-risk-what-is-it/ | 2020-07-03T10:15:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655881984.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703091148-20200703121148-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.960118 | 1,350 | [

Adapted from The Peach Blossom Spring (421 AD) by Tao Yuanming, inspired by The Jungle (1943) by Wifredo Lam.
Once upon a time, there was a National Geographic photographer filming wildlife in a remote rainforest. While drifting along a river and looking for the most picturesque red-eyed tree frog, he suddenly came upon a banana grove which extended along the river bank for about a hundred yards. The banana grove was so magically free from the usual hustles and bustles of the rainforest, and the ground around the banana trees was covered by white and purple orchids. At the end of the grove, he saw a spring which came from a cave.
A hardly visible weak light in the cave encouraged the National Geographic photographer to tie up his boat and explore further. At first the opening of the cave was very narrow, barely wide enough for one person to go in. After a dozen steps, it opened into a flood of light. He saw before his eyes a wide, level valley, with houses and fields and farms. There were cacao and coffee plants; farmers were working and butterflies were flying around to pollinate the plants.
Everyone in the mysterious land appeared very happy and contented. They were greatly astonished to see the photographer and asked him where he had come from. The photographer told them about the National Geographic magazine and was invited to their homes, where coffee was served and chocolate was prepared to entertain him. They said that their ancestors had come here as refugees to escape from the tyranny of Henry VIII some five hundred years ago, and they had never left it. They were thus completely cut off from the world, and asked what was the ruling dynasty now. They had not even heard of the Glorious Revolution, not to speak of Donald Trump. The photographer told them about current affairs, which they heard with great amazement. Many of the other villagers then began to invite him to their homes by turn and feed him dinner and pineapple juice. After a few days, when he left, the villagers begged him not to tell the people outside about their colony.
The man found his raft and came back along the river, marking with signs along the route. He produced an extensive special edition for the National Geographic, but no one in the press believed him. The National Geographic sent someone to go with him and find the place. They looked for the signs but got lost and could never find it again. Since then, no one has gone in search of the hidden banana grove.

BetaStar® for Quinolones is a highly sensitive rapid test for quinolone antibiotics in commingled cow milk.
Quinolones are antibiotics that are often used as a “fall back” option in hospitals for treatment of infections that have not responded to the first treatments. For this reason, it is absolutely important to keep quinolones out of the food chain to help ensuring that the amount of bacteria developing resistance to quinolones is kept at a minimum.
BetaStar® for Quinolones is a one-step, five minute robust test, which can easily be used by dairies, farmers, truck drivers, milk receivers and milk-testing laboratories.
The results can be interpreted visually or by using an electronic reader. | <urn:uuid:8f4d734c-dbc6-41b8-b46e-810ba9a5cf94> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.chr-hansen.com/en/food-cultures-and-enzymes/test-and-equipment/cards/product-cards/betastar-for-quinolones | 2020-07-03T10:22:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655881984.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703091148-20200703121148-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.945141 | 157 | [

The townsfolk thought that surely, the music from that old violin would be silenced forever. How could anyone possibly beseech mournful, melancholy diapasons from only one string?
One year later, a drifter wandered onto the unlikely, mostly untraveled path to Melody. The secret of that old violin had been carefully guarded by the townsfolk, and they were suspicious when this unfamiliar, never-before-seen stranger, seemed to appear out of nowhere.
He had thick, wild wisps of unkempt silver hair and hooded lids that partially covered almost unreadable, yet strangely imploring eyes. His thick black brows hung low and were in stark contrast to that shock of Argentine tresses.
His clothing suggested that he might be a wretched beggar, who had somehow lost his way while traveling through the trials and tribulations of what we call life. He wore tall leather boots with soles held in place with pieces of cloth, most likely torn from a discarded shirt. An over sized belt hung loosely around his waist and from every punch hole in the leather hung a key, causing a soft tintinnabulation when he walked.
Giving every sign of being unapproachable, the townsfolk kept their distance and watched the outsider circumambulate the streets, as if looking for something he had no hope of finding.
Could he be a guardian? Could he be one of the custodians, picked by the angel the townsfolk believed left that old violin in the town of Melody?
He had no visible affliction, as had Amos, Rufus and Old Sooty Sam. This visitor’s only suffering appeared to be loneliness and a lack of purpose. If he was a custodian, could that old violin cure the curse of solitude and abrogate his seemingly aimless existence?
Their unspoken questions were answered when the traveler found himself standing on the corner of Fifth and Main. The townsfolk watched as he looked at that old violin as though it was a long, lost friend.
Gasps could be heard when he picked up that old violin and began to play. Just as before, the mystifying, inexplicable, what had to be unnatural sounds, brought the town to a halt.
But how? How could those penetrating, perplexing, esoteric sounds be coming from that old violin, when it had only one string? With their ever-abiding faith, the townsfolk accepted the unknown, and relished in the heart-moving, overpowering, ever-breathtaking refrains the stranger brought forth from that old violin.
One year later, the curious transient disappeared. That old violin was found on the corner of Fifth and Main, with four strings hanging loose and four feathers resting beside it.
“But Grandma,” Polly said, with disappointment in her voice. “What happened next?”
Grandma smiled and said, “this story has a moral, little one.”
“What moral?” asked Polly.
Grandma looked at Polly and said, “Sometimes the things or the people we think have the least value, are the most truly beautiful.” | <urn:uuid:45e1b6d8-6187-44e7-9bb4-e93c8be76438> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://myjourneyintodarkness.wordpress.com/2019/01/ | 2020-07-05T05:05:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886865.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705023910-20200705053910-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.977726 | 654 | [

In the season eight trailer, as we sense the growing tension of the living bracing to defend Winterfell against the undead, it’s no coincidence the last face we see is that of Jorah Mormont—played by the expressive (and handsome, if I say so myself) Iain Glen. We know very little about how Ser Jorah’s journey will end in this final season, but the Scottish actor has been gracious to share his experience of reading and filming it.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Glen says that reading the scripts he felt that showrunners Benioff and Weiss had “done it, they’ve pulled it off,” particularly regarding “that balance of satiating people’s desire for things to be complete, but leaving enough questions in the air for people to try to project forward what world will follow, individually for all the characters and universally for the world that Thrones has occupied.”
Later came the table read, which as have heard many times from producers and cast members alike, was a tearful affair: “There’s a real sense of loss, it’s like a family… there were lots of tears because it was coming to an end, but real excitement and joy that we were going to shoot it… We’ve all grown very close to each other.’
The act of shooting it, however, was not quite as exciting or joyous, especially that Battle of Winterfell we’ve heard so much about. Corroborating what many others involved in the episode have said, those 55 nights in the cold and mud (and “sheep shit”) of Moneyglass Estate were “a real test, really miserable.” Thankfully, if what we’ve heard about that battle is in any way close to reality, all the pain will have been worth it!
Glen isn’t only leaving the show behind, but also Emilia Clarke, his constant scene partner for eight years. But he isn’t worried: “We’re friends ad we’ll always be friends.”
“Emilia went through an extraordinary story arc for herself as a person, and her character,” Glen says of the Mother of Dragons. “I saw her as a nervous young actress, who had just got this big gig and everyone was saying, ‘Is this the right actor? Is this how she should look? Does the wig look right?’ It’s an incredible amount of pressure and I saw this young girl cope with it incredibly well.”
“She did ask for guidance,” he reveals, “and invariably I was saying, ‘Just keep doing what you’re doing.’ Emilia’s very gifted, she really has no idea how good she is – she remains very vulnerable but it’s not a destructive vulnerability, it keeps her very focused… She’s a very altruistic, warm person, who was the great generator of social life during Thrones. I’ll always keep an eye on what she’s doing and take pride in it.”
On Glen’s last day, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss presented him with a storyboard (just like with everyone else,) which depicted Jorah’s fight at Daznak’s Pit in season five. By the time they ended their speech, Glen says he was “in floods of tears.” | <urn:uuid:a2981213-f666-4383-b31b-5e3fd77aae03> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://watchersonthewall.com/iain-glen-bids-farewell-game-thrones-emilia-clarke/ | 2020-07-07T10:10:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891884.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707080206-20200707110206-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.979195 | 739 | [

By gaining an enhanced understanding on the latest techniques and tools, those in the dental field can significantly improve their skill and boost the value of their practice. In the dental profession, it’s important for specialists to continually learn more on the ways in which they can enhance treatment results for their patients, and so dental continued education courses are of great value to dental professionals. In this latest post, we’ll take a look at several reasons to take on continued education courses.
1. Licensing Renewals
In many regions, dentists must regularly pass tests to renew their board licenses. Theses renewals require the professional to have a clear understanding on the latest techniques and how these techniques can be integrated within their practice. By undergoing continuing education courses, dental professionals can streamline the licensing process and improve their work moving forward.
2. Boost Practice Value
Continued education can help dental professionals to adapt the newest tools and techniques for use within their practice. This will mean that they’re then able to offer the most sought-after treatments to their local patients. The process of undergoing continued education in the dental field can be essential to gaining that competitive edge that helps the practice boost its patient numbers. In a marketplace where one poor review online can limit the number of prospective patients entering a dental practice, this level of practice improvement can be essential in growing the business incrementally over time.
3. Learn the Latest Trends
Dental teams are often tasked with more than simply resolving their patients’ oral health challenges. In running their business, they have to stay on top of the latest trends in marketing, sales, and promotion to ensure that they reach out to clients in a targeted and cost-effective way.
For example, many dental professionals are now learning about the value of social media marketing and how their practice can be promoted across the social media platforms. Rather than spending thousands of dollars promoting their practice via TV and radio ads, many are now using online marketing platforms for more precise targeting at a lower cost. Continuing education courses can help dental professionals analyze these types of trends and ensure they’re capitalizing on them.
4. New Career Pathways
Of course, dental continuing education isn’t only available for those who are well established in their career. Those who have just begun their career in the dental field can benefit substantially from the latest courses.
For example, younger professionals can add to their skill sets and make themselves a more desirable candidate for the coming years. They can enhance their knowledge on areas such as anesthesia and emergency medical care, for example, to ensure they can be an asset during complex dental surgeries. This will help to open up the career marketplace for them and give them unprecedented opportunities as they search for new open positions.
5. Meet Other Dental Professionals and Discuss the Industry
Taking on dental continuing education courses will also allow professionals to meet with others in the industry and learn more about the marketplace. While on the course, they will have the opportunity to discuss the latest trends and the tools that others are utilizing with great success in their practices. It will allow professionals to network and build connections with those in other marketplaces, for potential cross promotional opportunities.
The continued education marketplace is continually evolving for dental professionals. And many are now seeing the benefits of taking a proactive approach to their ongoing educational requirements. To discover more on the opportunities available in your area, reach out to a dental education specialist in your region today. | <urn:uuid:a2787a78-2417-45de-8019-4d6fe1bbb0b0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.newsmagonline.com/5-benefits-of-going-back-to-dental-school/ | 2020-07-07T09:06:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891884.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707080206-20200707110206-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.951295 | 701 | [

Sometimes you just have to remain silent and focused on yourself. No matter how much you may feel like it’s best to do the “adult thing” or “be the bigger person,” sometimes the best thing to do is not do or say anything at all.
Silence is more deadly than words can ever be. Some people thrive off your attention. Giving them access to you, whether good or bad, still gives them what they want. Try doing or saying nothing at all, see how quickly and easily they fall off! | <urn:uuid:9f33356f-d257-4cc9-b347-3b4afed1b64a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://ageeslife.com/2017/02/20/silence-is-deadlier-than-words-try-this-on-for-size/ | 2020-07-07T08:11:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891884.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707080206-20200707110206-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.947411 | 113 | [

Rome, September 10. The high point of the General Chapter was the election of the Order’s new administration last week. The days that remain are given to discussion of certain questions on the life and organization of the Order. The following topics are on the agenda: statutes for the general custodies, houses outside the territory of a circumscription, and fraternal collaboration between circumscriptions. These will be treated both at the level of the coetus and in the plenary assembly, with voting as necessary. Beyond these matters, the General Chapter looks forward to other meetings and visits, such as that of the general ministers of the Franciscan family – OFM, Conventual, Third Order Regular, OFS, and the President of the Italian Federation of Capuchin Poor Clares – on September 13. The audience with Pope Francis is scheduled for Friday, September 14. On the 15 there will be final votes on the questions discussed in the preceding days. Finally, on September 16, a solemn Eucharist will be celebrated to close the General Chapter. Naturally, before the Chapter reaches its conclusion it will take care of other things, such as photos of the full group, the individual coetus, and the officials and other friars serving and working at the Chapter. The official Acts of the Chapter, on the other hand, are being carefully documented by the recording secretaries. | <urn:uuid:be87503d-0c8f-49f9-8ec6-24a6a4cc6b9a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://static1.ofmcap.org/de/notizie/capitulum-generale-2018/item/2615-the-final-week-of-the-general-chapter | 2020-07-07T09:29:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891884.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707080206-20200707110206-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.945689 | 279 | [

It somehow escaped me. Alec Baldwin has a podcast. With 133 episodes in its archive, Here’s The Thing with Alec Baldwin (Web - iTunes - Feeds) features "intimate and honest conversations" with "artists, policy makers and performers – to hear their stories, what inspires their creations, what decisions changed their careers, and what relationships influenced their work." Below, we've embedded his recent conversation with Patti Smith. It's quite good. But there are so many others worth a mention. Let me rattle off a quick list: REM's Michael Stipe, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Pollan, Amy Schumer and Judd Apatow, William Friedkin, Paul Simon, Ira Glass, Jerry Seinfeld, David Simon, Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Lena Dunham, Peter Frampton, David Letterman, Carol Burnett, Kristen Wiig, SNL's Lorne Michaels, and Chris Rock.
Click the links to stream each interview, and don't miss Baldwin's new memoir, Nevertheless. He happens to narrate the audiobook version, which you can download for free if you sign up for Audible.com's 30-day free trial. We have info on that here.

WiFi password: Retail revolution
Ancar Ivanhoe, is a world leader in the business of shopping malls and real estate, owning more than 80 enterprises in North America, Europe and Asia. These are enterprises with personality, ready to grow with quality, and leaders in their area, so it’s no coincidence that the company is among the five largest in Brazil.
Ancar Ivanhoe asked CI&T to create a mobile-first approach to recognize individual consumers within their malls; driving influence, recognizing affinities and creating real-time conversion for over 1.5MM consumers.
A 4-week assessment phase unpacking and analyzing the data and IDs that Ancar had historically gathered to create a Google Performance Desk to take device IDs, anonymize the data and match them back to real time beacons throughout the mall.
Based on this approach, Ancar was able to throttle and provide real- time offers for their retailers based on captured historical behavioral patterns, recognizing the individual and providing mobile experiences and discounts to drive their shopping experience. | <urn:uuid:95fa63d3-ec02-46d0-8826-bec9fc0184f7> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://us.ciandt.com/analytics | 2020-07-09T05:00:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655898347.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709034306-20200709064306-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.92207 | 813 | [

What happens on home loan settlement day?
Home loan settlement doesn't have to be a scary process.
Settlement day is the day your home ownership ambitions become a reality. It involves a lot of documentation, some complex legal processes and the disbursement of significant sums of money.
All this can seem a bit scary, but understanding what actually happens on settlement day can take some of the mystery out of the process.
What is settlement?
Settlement is the process of transferring ownership of a property from the vendor to the buyer. During this process, your lender will disburse funds to the property's seller. The title will also be transferred.
The guidelines surrounding how to transfer ownership of property vary by state and territory. Settlement can be a complex legal process and is usually handled by legal representatives for both you and the seller.
How can I prepare?
The most important action you can take to prepare for settlement is to enlist the services of a solicitor or conveyancer. These professionals understand the complex processes involved in settlement and can navigate the process for you.
This aside, there are other steps you can take to prepare. You'll want to make preparations for moving. This means scheduling removalists, scheduling the disconnection of services and utilities at your old property and scheduling their connection at your new property.
You'll also need to do a final inspection of the property before settlement. This ensures that the property is vacant, has been left in reasonable condition and that it includes any items included in the contract.
Preparing for settlement also includes setting aside funds to cover costs. Settlement costs include items like title transfer and registration fees, soliciting and conveyancing costs and stamp duty. It can also include any council rates, body corporate or water payments made in advance.
Your solicitor and conveyancer will let you know the total cost of the transaction before settlement. You'll need to have funds in your account to cover any difference between your home loan amount and the total transaction cost.
What happens on the day?
The good news is that you don't actually have to be present for settlement. The entire process takes place between the seller's legal representative and yours.
Prior to settlement, your solicitor or conveyancer will inspect the contract of sale to ensure all the stipulations and clauses have been met by both you and the seller. They will also ensure that the title is clear of any encumbrances and that it describes the correct measurements and boundaries.
On the day of settlement, your legal representative will meet with representatives of the seller and the lender. Your lender will disburse the funds for your home loan to the seller and will register its mortgage over the title of your property.
Your legal representative will then receive the title to the property and register you as its new owner. They will check that the funds for the mortgage on the title have been disbursed, and that there are no third parties with rights to the property.
After this is done, you own your home. You'll be able to coordinate with the agent to pick up the keys and gain access to your new property.
What are the pitfalls?
It's rare that things go wrong on settlement day, but the two major pitfalls are financing problems and missing documentation.
Delayed settlement laws vary from state to state. While vendors have rights to seek compensation for delayed settlement, buyers often don't have the same rights. If settlement is delayed because the vendor's legal representatives are missing paperwork, you'll need to check with your own solicitor to see what, if any, recourse you have.
What do I do after settlement?
After settlement occurs, you can pick up the keys to your new home. A month after settlement, you'll begin making your home loan repayments.
It's important not only to keep on top of your regular home loan repayments, but to conduct periodic health checks to ensure you're still getting a good deal. Every 12 to 18 months you should review your home loan and compare it to other products on offer. If you find you're no longer getting the best deal, it could be time to refinance.

The Hudson County Board of Freeholders commends and honors Dimitri Rodriguez on his inspiring “Teens for Jeans” Drive to raise awareness for youth homelessness.
Dimitri Rodriguez, a senior at County Prep High School, has spearheaded and managed a successful and inspiring clothing drive for homeless youth in Hudson County.
Teens for Jeans is a national campaign in partnership with Aeropostale and DoSomething.org, the largest not-for-profit organization for young people and social change, that encourages young people across the country to help provide clothing for youth experiencing homelessness.
Over a million young people experience homelessness in the United States every year and one of the most requested items that young people in homeless shelters ask for is a pair of jeans.
As part of Dimitri Rodriguez’s Teens for Jeans campaign, several drop-off bins were placed throughout Hudson County including County Prep High School, local libraries and City Halls. Members of the community were encouraged to drop off their jeans at Hoboken and Bayonne City Hall during the duration of the drive. As the drive came to a close, 830 pairs of jeans had been collected for distribution to youth experiencing homelessness.
As a frequent volunteer at the Hoboken Shelter, Dimitri Rodriguez was able to witness many people who are homeless. He observed that some teens were not as fortunate as he was and many lacked basic clothing such as jeans. By running the drive, Dimitri Rodriguez hopes it will give youth in need a chance to fit in with everyone else.
Dimitri Rodriguez is an active and involved citizen in the County of Hudson who volunteers at the Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Liberty Science Center and several local festivals.
Chairman E. Junior Maldonado along with the Hudson County Board of Freeholders commend Dimitri Rodriguez for his successful and inspiring “Teens for Jeans” drive to raise awareness for youth homelessness. They also extend their appreciation to Dimitri Rodriguez for his service to the County of Hudson. | <urn:uuid:c043a16b-fb15-45a6-9916-bb1059f41d3a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://cphs.hcstonline.org/the-hudson-county-board-of-freeholders-commends-and-honors-county-prep-senior-dimitri-rodriguez/ | 2020-07-10T23:24:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655912255.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710210528-20200711000528-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.968161 | 407 | [

White sand beaches and cool ocean breezes make Beaufort, South Carolina one of the Low Country's most popular tourist destinations.
Beaufort,s climate is temperate to semi-tropical. Winters are moderate, summers hot. Snowfall is rare, but electrical storms are common, particularly in summer months. Average annual rainfall is 47.9 inches. The average annual humidity is 75%. Beaufort's annual mean high temperature is 76.5 degrees F, and the annual mean low temperature is 57.2 degrees F. Prevailing gulf breezes temper the summer's heat.
Beaufort, South Carolina
Some 30 miles north of
Hilton Head Island, Beaufort (Low Country pronunciation byoo-fort) is an old
seaport with narrow streets shaded by huge moss-draped live oaks and lined with
pre-Revolutionary and antebellum homes. It is located on Port Royal Island, one
of the large Sea Islands along the southeast Atlantic coast.
A center of luxury homes
prior to the Civil War, Beaufort was one of a few southern cities spared from
fire in the war’s aftermath, making it an architectural treasure. The oldest
house (at Port Republic and New Streets) was built in 1717, before the birth of
George Washington. Beaufort is one of the few towns in the United States whose
entire downtown has been designated by the National Trust for Historic
Preservation as an historic district.
Nearly 200 restored buildings can be seen in the
city's historic district.
More than 50 historic
buildings have been identified and include lovely private homes beautifully
restored. Start your visit to Beaufort with a
walk along the peaceful harbor at Waterfront Park. The park is a pleasant place
to linger for a while, and several restaurants are nearby. Boat and horse-drawn
carriage tours also start from the park.
The Low country’s salt-marsh ecosystem, one of
the world’s most productive and unspoiled, is remarkably easy to explore from a
Beaufort base. The A.C.E. Basin is the vast wilderness created at the juncture
of the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto Rivers. Guided boat and kayak tours allow
visitors to photograph hundreds of species of birds while exploring the coast,
and boat rentals enable adventurers to explore on their own. Given the
abundance of water, it’s no wonder that fishing, sailing, shrimping and crabbing
are popular activities for visitors. Port Royal’s boardwalk and Hunting Island
State Park’s pier are among the ideal fishing venues as well as being popular
for sightseeing and leisurely strolls.
A five-mile leisure trail winds through
Port Royal for jogging and bicycling and includes an observation deck.
Beaufort and Port Royal are
proud to host three military bases. The military is an integral part of
Beaufort, with the Marine Corps Air Station to the north, Parris Island Recruit
Depot on Port Royal Sound, and the Naval Hospital at the heart of the community.
The Marines take an active role in community life. They assist in emergencies,
entertain at air shows and volunteer at community events.
Art galleries, antique
shops and modern boutiques are within the downtown walking area, not to mention
fine dining and quick eateries. Museums are a beginning for an educational and
interesting look at the history of the area.
The Beaufort Museum
includes artifacts from throughout the city's history, including Native American
relics and Revolutionary and Civil War items. The Federal-style John Mark
Verdier House was built in 1790, and St. Helena's Episcopal Church dates to
1724. Of special interest—although it's not open to the public—is the Milton
Maxey House, traditionally claimed as the site where South Carolina's secession
documents were drafted.
Filmmakers have discovered
that Beaufort locations make convincing movie settings, whether they’re looking
to portray the Old South or the jungles and beaches of Vietnam. Some 20 movies
have had scenes shot in the area, but Beaufort’s fondest memories are of Tom
Hanks and the film Forrest Gump. For the most part, local residents take
film making in stride. They’ve seen a lot of excitement in films such as The
Big Chill, The Prince of Tides, Forces of Nature, Rules of Engagement, Jungle
Book, White Squall, Something to Talk About, The Legend of Bagger Vance, GI
Jane, The Last Dance and the TV series Gullah. Gullah Island was
filmed on location in Beaufort. It seems as if almost everyone has at least one,
really good, first-hand filmmaking story to share.
In the Low country, a
festival or celebration is almost always underway. Locals and visitors regularly
take to the streets, parks and waterways to enjoy life with the special
varieties of cuisine, entertainment, crafts and activities, which define the
friendly communities and their customs. Among Beaufort's notable annual events
are the yearly Plantation Tour and Tour of Historic Homes in March and the
Beaufort Water Festival in late July. | <urn:uuid:3eb8a2f6-c5b6-4f43-a89b-99e9e6735e8a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.hotelsinternacional.com/south_carolina_hotels/beaufort.html | 2020-07-10T23:12:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655912255.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710210528-20200711000528-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.9298 | 1,221 | [

Prom Hair – Half up, half down
It’s that time of year when all the school leavers are getting excited as their exams are nearly over and they can start thinking about the Prom… What dress to wear, how to arrive in style and of course for the girls out there, how they will style their hair.
This is a quick and simple style that won’t cost the earth. If you are familiar with SeventyFours website you may have seen this style before. I will let you know which one has used extensions for added fullness. I can point you in the direction of great products to create volume, texture and shine.
Half up, half down with a curl
A very simple style created with either a tong, wand or straighteners. Can be a tight or loose curl. For those whose hair doesn’t hold a curl I recommend you start with a tight curl and let it drop by itself. If the curl doesn’t drop out and you want a loose affect you will need to tease the curls apart and drag them down using a wide tooth comb or your fingers (which is what I prefer). Once you have created the desired curl you may want to create a little height at the crown by back combing and by using a root lift powder or spray, my favourite is Savage Panache by L’Oreal. Pin this in place and then pull back each side, this could be in a braid, twist or just as it is. Try to hide the pins by pinning underneath the hair. You will need a good hairspray to ensure it lasts all night.
This was created using clip in extensions, She already had the length needed for the style but wanted added volume. We glammed it up with a little hair accessory. The curl was loosened to create a wave. To createa lovely shine on the finished style you can either run your fingers through the curls with a serum or use a shine spray, I would use Bedheads shine spray (pink bottle with a green top).
No extensions were needed as she wanted a messy affect and this created a lot of volume itself. There was no height at the crown but the sides were pulled back in a messy twist and a few delicate hair gems were scattered around the twist. This style included teasing of the curls with my fingers to create a little loose backcombing, adding to the messy look we were going for. | <urn:uuid:cbc94edf-9bcb-4fa5-8430-588816e69d9b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.seventyfourhairandbeauty.com/2018/05/18/prom-hair-half-up-half-down/ | 2020-07-12T19:51:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657139167.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712175843-20200712205843-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.968096 | 499 | [

A smart home is one that provides information and communicates with you no matter where you are. These are growing in popularity today, and a wide range of versions are available. Each one seems to do something unique. If you are thinking about the investment in a smart home system of any type, it helps to know what the benefits are. In some cases, they can reduce theft risks and, as a result, lower home insurance costs. Here's what every homeowner in Western Massachusetts should know.
What Type of System Is Right for You?
If you hope to improve your home’s security, there are a few types of smart home systems to take into consideration. First, learn about the various brands and how they work. Then, determine what could help at your home. Here are some key ideas and options.
- Doorbell cameras – Replacing the traditional doorbell, these cameras allow you to receive a message whenever someone approaches the door. You can interact with the people outside your door. These do not prevent someone from coming in but do take pictures of those who step in their range of view.
- Security cameras – An excellent option for those who want more security, home security cameras are always active. The latest models have night vision and allow for two-way communication. Most importantly, they sound an alarm and alert you if someone steps into the warning area.
- Security monitoring – This is the highest level of safety-oriented home automation. It uses security cameras along with other types of sensors. When a trigger occurs, such as someone opening the door, it alerts a company monitoring the home. They can send help immediately.
- Door and window sensors – These detect when the door or a window opens. These small sensors are hard to see. Yet, they communicate a significant amount of information immediately.
- Glass break sensors – Some sensors even detect when glass breaks. If it senses this, it can send an alert so you can take action.
As smart home features, they work by sending messages to your smartphone or computer. You can then choose to call the police or warn the person to leave your property. In this way, they increase your home security.
If you decide to install one of these systems, be sure to tell your home insurance agent about it. With more information about how it works, they may recognize the benefits. This can help you to reduce your home insurance costs. However, not all systems qualify. Be sure to work with your agent to find the best way for your home. | <urn:uuid:91f44c73-1f31-44be-80aa-f21c5b7ddf89> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.chiagency.com/blog/can-a-smart-home-system-reduce-your-theft-risks.aspx | 2020-07-14T20:57:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657151197.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714181325-20200714211325-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.947655 | 512 | [

It’s an exciting time to be a B2B technology marketer. After decades of reiterating the same old formula of just supporting sales with colourful brochures full of gobbledygook and placing adverts in trade journals, the possibilities for B2B marketers have finally started to look promising. And if you are feeling ‘digitally superior’ to your peers after using Google SEM or creating a Facebook page, hold your horses. The sky is the limit now. But the challenges are monumental too.
The future is not what it used to be
B2B tech marketing is rapidly changing and not by choice, but rather due to the massive change in market dynamics. The enterprise technology procurement journey is evolving.Thanks to the abundance of information, reviews and easily accessible feedback from users and influencers, B2B tech buyers today are doing most of their homework and fact-finding online. According to MarketingSherpa’s Business Technology Marketing Benchmark Guide, 80% of a B2B purchase decision is made even before contacting a sales representative. Business strategists, specifically marketers, now have to find, reach out, influence and nurture their prospects in this new-age procurement journey. Apart from the procurement process, the technology investment mindset itself is evolving in the case of enterprises across the world.
Due to the unpredictable nature of the global economy, enterprises are no longer comfortable with the idea of taking large bets with massive IT investments. Even large enterprises today are moving their IT spending from Capital Expenditure to Operating Expenditure – Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, or Managed Services. On the other hand, CIOs are getting a seat at the strategy table and starting to measure KPIs in the business context: productivity, customer experience, and the like. This shift is forcing tech companies to change their positioning from the ‘technical expertise’ level to the ‘business knowledge’ level. Vertical focus, business process consulting, managed services and outsourcing are becoming essential value-added service capabilities. Marketers are playing a catch-up game to capture this whole shift in positioning.
A technology vendor, a telco, and a channel partner walk into a bar
The lines between the service offerings of different technology vendors are getting blurred. With virtualisation and software-defined everything, telecom companies and ISPs are cashing on their subscriber base, offering managed services, SaaS and IaaS solutions. Infrastructure and networking solution providers are stepping into the server marketplace. Even virtualisation solution providers are trying to encroach on the Data Centre domain.
Relationships between channel partners, system integrators and technology vendors are also in jeopardy. Tech vendors are marketing their offers (cloud and other virtualised products, where economies of scale is the only competitive advantage) directly to end customers, creating a massive channel conflict. Although larger system integrators can draw on vertical-specific business capabilities for the enterprise market, their midmarket counterparts are becoming irrelevant as SaaS and IaaS go mainstream. Marketers from both vendors and channels are facing a monumental challenge to focus on a unique value proposition in this chaotic market.
In a nutshell, it’s getting harder for tech companies to keep up with sales targets and maintain profitability. And it’s getting tougher for marketers to communicate value propositions, generate demand, and capture and nurture qualified leads.
It sounds like a lot of doom and gloom, but it is actually the golden era for all B2B tech marketers. With the plethora of tools and technologies available at their disposal to research, syndicate, and monitor, today’s marketing leaders can implement a robust framework for success. There is no magic bullet to make all the issues disappear overnight. However, with a proper strategic roadmap, a tactical and scalable workflow, and constant experiments on a smaller scale, not only we can get out of this red ocean, we can thrive in a bold new world.
Content first, and second, and third
To start with, we need to invest in industry vertical-focused, business context-centric content strategy and creation. Without a scalable content strategy in place, lead generation and nurturing campaigns are bound to fail. Technology companies are relatively comfortable communicating with technology decision makers. But, as IT investments are getting evaluated in business terms, we need to create, repurpose or curate content for all target personas in our prospect’s buying centres. We need to focus on creating vertical-specific content to be relevant for the target industry.
How many marketers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None, they’ve automated it.
Most tech companies spend a substantial portion of their marketing budget on top-of-funnel lead generation. Netting new leads is important, but there is no point investing all the budget there without a workflow to facilitate the journey through the funnel.
Most marketers are aware of this issue, but still keep repeating the same flawed tactics, because marketing leaders tend to measure performances quarterly and with wrong KPIs. Changing mindsets is not an easy task, but implementing a structured process using Marketing Automation software might help in the long term.
However, implementing Marketing Automation without the proper strategic mindset and planning has proven to be disastrous for many organisations. In many cases, tech companies are using Marketing Automation solutions to automate mass email, without much planning on workflows or lead scoring mechanisms. There is no ‘build-measure-learn’ loop in place to evaluate and improve the process at regular intervals.
B2B tech marketers need to remember that lead nurturing using marketing automation tools is a strategy, not just another software roll-out.
With no large roll-outs and renewable shortterm contracts, incumbent tech vendors can ensure barriers to entry against competitors only through facilitating increased consumption of the technology. That’s the reason the marketers’ job has now expanded beyond sales, to the realm of post-sales marketing.
In the cases of SaaS and IaaS, the business value proposition of ‘Consumption Marketing’ is clear, but other tech products and solutions can also benefit from such a strategy. Consumption Marketing principles are founded on education and product awareness, the assumption being that product familiarity increases customers’ cost to change.
Tune the channel
Invest in marketing to and empowering channel partners. Get more mind share, educate and engage the channel partners not only to get more channel sales, but also to ensure a better end customer experience.
Vendors assume that their products and solutions are as important to their partners as to themselves. But partners and distributors are only interested in their profit and top line. They often deal with multiple partners and distribute products from many different companies. Grab their mindshare by simplifying their task of selling and supporting your products, and avoid relegating your products and solutions to the bottom of their priorities.
Having clear and effective marketing content also gives distributors the resources they need, when they need it, to sell your products effectively. Bear in mind that your partners directly touch your customers. They have their ears on the ground and direct feedback from your end customers. You can make better decisions by listening to your partners and adapting your marketing strategy based on their input.
The mantra for multinational companies should be ‘plan global and act local’. From the content to the lead scoring mechanism, most tech companies are falling into the same trap of pseudo-homogenisation. There should be an overarching strategy framework to give direction to the content and lead nurturing process, but at the same time, regional and country marketing offices should have enough flexibility to take decisions on a tactical level.
There is no magic formula to get out of the quagmire B2B tech marketers are facing today. At the same time, we now have the resources and toolsets to learn and adapt quickly – unlike our predecessors. While a solid strategic framework and thorough tactical workflow is key to success, marketing leaders need to remember – ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast’. Without a balanced team, ready to challenge the status quo and willing to experiment while keeping the big picture in mind, no big strategy or toolset can save technology marketing. | <urn:uuid:95f81dec-74fe-42a2-a4b0-c162d4dff80a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://b2bento.com/2016/01/22/evolving-face-of-b2b-technology-marketing/ | 2020-07-03T16:26:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882634.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703153451-20200703183451-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.937891 | 1,670 | [

Swiftpoint Limited Swiftpoint Mouse
Editor's note: An earlier review of ths Swiftpoint Mouse was posted in error. That review and the previous mouse rating has been withdrawn. This is our offical review of the Swiftpoint Mouse.
One look at Swiftpoint Limited’s minuscule Swiftpoint Mouse (just over two inches long, about 1.5 inches across at the widest point, and weighing less than an ounce), and you might think the company has simply tried to make the smallest mouse on the market. But this tiny size serves a purpose: The Swiftpoint aims to be the ultimate travel mouse by letting you use it in settings—say, while your MacBook is on your lap, or when working on a plane—when the only flat surface is your laptop’s own palmrest. That’s right: The Swiftpoint Mouse is small enough and precise enough (1,000 dpi) that you can stick it on your MacBook Air’s palmrest and mouse about when there’s no other flat surface in sight.
(Yes, Apple’s portables all feature large, multi-touch trackpads. But some people—and I count myself among them—still prefer to use a mouse when possible.)
Small but comfortable
Unlike with many compact mice I’ve tested, the Swiftpoint Mouse’s design is surprisingly ergonomic. You place your thumb in the large rubber groove along the left side, resting your index finger on the two buttons—for left-click (front) and right-click (back)—on top. Your bent middle finger rests in a vertical rubber groove on the right side. It feels a lot like holding a pen, and I was able to work with the Swiftpoint Mouse for extended periods without discomfort. Alas, the mouse is made only for righties; southpaws are out of luck.
Just to the right of the mouse’s buttons, in front of your middle finger, is a large (compared to the size of the mouse itself), rubber-coated scrollwheel. You can use the scrollwheel comfortably with either your index or middle finger, but the Swiftpoint Mouse’s design offers an additional option: Tilt the mouse slightly to the right, and the bottom of the wheel comes in contact with the mousing surface, letting you scroll by moving the mouse itself forward or back. It’s a nice option that at times I found more comfortable than using either finger.
The scroll wheel also offers two additional features you wouldn’t discover if you didn’t read the user guide. First, if you hold the right-click (back) button and scroll, you get page-at-a-time scrolling instead of line-by-line. Second, if you hold the left-click (front) button and scroll, your onscreen view zooms in and out. This latter feature actually sends a Control-key-modified scrolling signal to your computer, so, for example, it works by default in all Microsoft Office programs. It also works for Mac OS X as a whole if you’ve activated the “Zoom using scroll wheel” option, with Control as the modifier key, in the Mouse pane of System Preferences.
I found the Swiftpoint Mouse to be both responsive and precise—much more precise than a trackpad—although when using the mouse on my MacBook Air’s palmrest area, I bumped up the tracking speed a few notches to get more “coverage” out of the limited real estate. The scrollwheel is likewise responsive, although I did miss the freewheel action of my trusty Logitech mouse.
Works anywhere, but optimized for palmrests
Of course, using a mouse on your laptop’s palmrest raises practical questions about what to do with the mouse when you’re typing. Swiftpoint includes a couple clever solutions. The first is that the mouse’s tiny USB receiver (which provides a radio-frequency (RF) wireless connection) also serves as a storage cradle and a charger. When you don't need the mouse, it snaps firmly onto the receiver and sits there, suspended from your MacBook's USB port, juicing up all the while. A 90-minute charge gives you up to four weeks of daily use, though if you ever find yourself with a dead mouse, the convenient RapidCharge feature gives you an hour of use from just a 30-second charge. (The mouse’s battery LED flashes every five seconds when the battery is getting low.)
Placing the mouse on the receiver may block a neighboring USB port, but if you’re using the mouse—and thus the cradle—it’s probably because you don’t have desk or table space, which means you probably aren’t in a situation where you’ll be using a bunch of other USB devices at the same time. The receiver/mouse coupling is also handy when storing the mouse in your bag, as it keeps the receiver with the mouse; alternatively, the cradle is secure enough that you can carry your laptop around with the mouse attached (although you’ll want to remove the mouse before putting your laptop in your bag).
The second “Where do I put it when I’m typing?” solution is the included Parking Accessory, which is essentially a clear, thin mouse pad you can cut to fit your particular laptop’s palmrest area. The film-like piece improves mouse tracking on laptops that have highly reflective finishes (the mouse works fine on Apple’s current laptops without it) but it also has a “parking area” that’s positioned near the bottom-center of the trackpad. It turns out that the base of the Swiftpoint Mouse hosts a tiny magnet, and the parking area hides a thin, metal plate; stick your mouse here, in between your hands, and it won’t slide off your laptop while you’re typing, even if you tend to tilt your MacBook at precarious angles.
Swiftpoint anticipated possible issues here, as well. Because you’ll be moving the mouse on and off the palmrest during use, or to and from the parking area, there’s an optional feature that automatically turns off mouse tracking whenever you lift your middle finger from the indentation on the side of the mouse. You can then slide the mouse around—say, to the parking area—using your thumb, or even pick up the mouse, without moving the cursor. Turning on this feature requires a simple procedure, using the two mouse buttons and the scrollwheel, described in the manual.
(With this feature enabled, you can still use the mouse’s scrollwheel and buttons. In fact, the feature makes the Swiftpoint Mouse an effective presentation remote: the front button advances to the next slide, and the back button takes you to the previous slide.)
Finally, there’s a special feature that makes palmrest mousing more accurate. When you use a traditional mouse, you position it to the side of your keyboard, and your hand and the mouse naturally point directly ahead. But when using a mouse on your laptop’s palmrest, chances are your hand is angled inwards slightly. Instead of making you wrench your wrist outwards to get the mouse to track normally, Swiftpoint includes a neat—and easy-to-use—feature for quickly recalibrating which direction is “up.” You just place the mouse in your preferred position and hold down both mouse buttons; after a few seconds, the cursor will move to the bottom of the screen. Let go of the mouse buttons and move the mouse “up”—whichever direction up is for you—and that becomes the New North, so to speak. I really appreciated this feature, and I found that I regularly recalibrated the mouse as I switched from using the mouse on my palmrest to using it on an actual desk back at my office.
No software needed
It's notable that none of the Swiftpoint Mouse's special features requires software—they’re all implemented in hardware. Because of this, when you first connect the Swiftpoint Mouse’s USB dongle to your Mac, you’ll likely see OS X’s “could not recognize your keyboard” window. This is because, as noted above, the mouse sends both mouse and keyboard signals to your computer. You can dismiss this window by clicking its red close button.
The downside to these features being implemented in hardware is that unlike with many mice on the market, you can’t customize the Swiftpoint Mouse’s behavior beyond the features it provides.
Macworld’s buying advice
For those who prefer a mouse to a trackpad, the Swiftpoint Mouse works in even the tightest of workspaces. It won't replace your desktop mouse, but in cramped quarters, it shines, giving you a usable, comfortable input device that even works on your MacBook’s palmrest. The company has anticipated some of the biggest obstacles to such use, and has included features and accessories that address most of these challenges. It’s a clever product that’s as portable as a mouse can be, and it works well enough that some road warriors might even end up using it full-time.

The Lemon Project, an interdisciplinary research effort examining the relationship between African Americans and the College of William and Mary, held its first annual Spring Symposium Saturday at Bruton Heights School in Williamsburg.The day-long event, entitled “From Slavery toward Reconciliation: African Americans and the College,” brought together students, faculty and Williamsburg community members to highlight the project’s ongoing research.
“Part of the Lemon Project is to disseminate information that’s gathered,” Project Coordinator, history professor Jody Allen said. “The other thing is to provide a place where people can come together to share their thoughts, opinions and ideas.”
The Lemon Project, named after a slave owned by the College at the turn of the 19th century, was originally created by a Board of Visitors’ resolution in 2009 as an effort by the College to acknowledge and better understand its role in the subjugation of African Americans over its long history.
“I don’t think that until we’re willing to tell the whole story that we can move forward,” Allen said. “Once it gets out there, you can really start to deal with it.”
The symposium began with an address by College President Taylor Reveley, who spoke about the project’s history and plans for the future.
“Words can be extremely important. But words aren’t enough,” Reveley said of the 2009 BOV resolution. “William and Mary wanted to take actual, concrete steps towards reconciliation.”
Part of this process was compiling work that had already been done but had not been properly showcased, Lemon Initiatives Co-Chair, History Professor Kim Phillips said.
“It was sporadic as opposed to [a] systematic effort,” she said.
The symposium continued with a morning plenary showcasing effort by the College and Williamsburg community members to investigate the historical involvement of African Americans at the College.
“These are stories that seem like local stories but are actually at the heart of a national struggle,” Phillips said.
The day’s events continued with a series of student presentations, covering topics ranging from the portrayal of slavery in historic sites to the shortage of African-Americans in the scientific community.
The symposium then concluded with a showing of Arianne Daniels’ documentary, “Their Eyes Were Watching Jim Crow” and remarks by Democratic Committee of Williamsburg co-chair Dr. John Whitley.
The Project’s organizers shared their thoughts on the symposium and hopes for the future.
“I think [the Project] has sparked a collective conversation in ways that I had not anticipated,” Phillips said. “My hope is that this brings together people from the College … to think about new, collaborative research efforts.”
This Spring Symposium is the first of what project coordinators hope to be a long series of similar events, designed to encourage further discussion among the College community.
“Moving forward, my hope is that people will feel more comfortable [participating in discussion],” Allen said. “Hopefully, people will come to know [the symposium] as an opportunity to talk.”
Allen said that she hopes to expand the symposium to include more of the College community, and she discussed the possibility of making the day-long event into one which spans an entire weekend.
Other plans for the project include the creation of an informative brochure and the possible compilation of a scholarly journal highlighting research done at the College, although the specifics remain unclear.
“This is an open-ended project,” Phillips said. | <urn:uuid:7c384f00-1e50-415c-a6b7-e62b6a74442c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://flathatnews.com/2011/03/22/75183/ | 2020-07-05T09:24:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.958683 | 767 | [

Grey Tourmaline, Diamond & 18ct White Gold Pendant
A sleek pear cut grey tourmaline tailored within a delicate four-claw collet finished with a round brilliant cut diamond suspended from a fine sixteen-inch chain for an elegant look. Handcrafted in England.
Can be worn with the grey tourmaline ring as a set.
Tourmaline has been known since antiquity in the Mediterranean region; the Dutch imported it in 1703 from Sri Lanka to Western and Central Europe. They gave the new gems a Sinhalese name ‘Turamali’ which is thought to mean ‘stone with mixed colours’. Indeed, tourmaline, is the only gemstone to come in every shade of colour. | <urn:uuid:92b874b6-249c-47de-8333-d0f095d1fa7b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://flamingojewellery.co.uk/products/grey-tourmaline-diamond-18ct-white-eco-gold-pendant/ | 2020-07-05T09:52:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.943724 | 152 | [

I love having a belly full of babies. There are two in there, a boy and a girl, and my body gets busy making them arms and legs and hearts. I leave my job a few months early, supposedly to sit on my porch swing and sip lemonade. Instead, I give birth early, and no one can stop it.
I hide from my boss a few months later. I’m at the grocery store, and I don’t want her to see that I’m not pregnant anymore. I don’t want to say the words out loud. That would make them real. I freeze in place, then I drop into a crouch behind the citrus fruits. She is a meticulous, sharp woman, and I watch in agony as she picks up first one lemon, then another, finally putting three in her bag. I slink around the grocery store, moving behind her, obsessed with her location and my own need to get the shopping done. My baby girl is in the hospital, and I want to get my groceries home so I can go see her, but instead I’m trapped among the cans of weird Asian vegetables and exotic sauces.
I hide my pain and scars. I move slowly in my loose dress, careful of the bandages across my belly where the surgeon’s knife cut the babies out in a rush. I think about my baby boy, and how palpably glad he was to be released from his tiny purple body that wasn’t ready to be born.
I move through life, day by day, living a different life than I expected. I have one baby, not two. My little girl is covered with tubes all taped to her face and hands, and she smells like rubber and plastic and hospital. She lives there, with the nurses that play dress up with her in the spare hours of the night, and the doctors that sit us down for updates when we come to visit. I hide my fear and dismay and exhaustion, grateful to them for her life.
She had a brother for a few days. After his death, my husband and I indulge ourselves in whatever form of comfort we can find, crying, shaking our fists, sleeping, allowing others to feed us. We spend a lot of time in bed, sometimes balled up, sometimes watching TV, eating fried chicken or whatever people bring us.
One night we see a news story about a beached whale on the west coast. Dozens of people are gathered around looking at it. The officials talk and plan. We watch in fascination as they began to set up dynamite around the whale, nestling it in the sand up against the big white belly, the dead flesh. A large crowd gathers, then everyone is ordered to stand back as the explosives are detonated.
The whale completely vanishes and an eerie silence falls on the beach as everyone looks around, confused. Suddenly the first chunks begin to fall from the sky and it rains whale on the beach. I press a pillow against my belly to hold it together, I am laughing so hard, afraid I’ll tear open. The pain is intense, and yet I laugh at the whale chunks and the bewilderment on the faces of the men who blew up this animal.
My laughter turns to tears, the pain overwhelms me. The scene becomes a tragedy as the large flopping chunks of whale knock bystanders into the sand. I see them lying helplessly, waves washing over them. They wipe whale juices off of their faces. Cars swerve to avoid the pieces falling from the sky, crashing into each other crazily. Rescue workers arrive, sirens wail. I wail. I cry for him to turn it off, make it stop.
But the crisis unfolds, and there is nowhere to go but forward. I seek comfort in my husband’s arms. We grieve the loss of our son and stumble into our brand new future as the parents of our four-pound bundle of joy.
I seek the chance to be a good mother. I pump milk from my breasts, taping a tiny picture of my baby girl to the big pump, trying desperately to keep the milk flowing. I cry when the nurse tosses the little bags of milk in the freezer. The nurse says that the breast milk doesn’t have enough fat in it, and she uses formula instead.
I seek answers. Why did this happen to us? No one can tell me. We cry, we wonder what to do. We have so many visitors, so many cards, and we try to absorb it all.
I seek approval. Before we bring our daughter home, we spend the night at the hospital. We’ve got to pass their tests and prove that we can take care of her. “Look, I can get the bubble out of a syringe! And I can get a full four ounce bottle into her.” I proudly show the nurse my accomplishments, and she writes them down in her notes.
We bring our daughter home, and we adjust to being parents. We’re fearful parents, worried that she’ll stop breathing, or that she won’t eat enough, or that she won’t turn out right.
I seek relief. I seek God. I look in religion first, then I look around in the woods. I look inside myself. As the years go by, I learn from my daughter, empowered by love. As it turns out, I’m perfectly capable of feeding her and wrapping her up correctly. I learn to keep my heart soft, my mind nimble, and my body strong. I watch her grow, and I feel peace that we turned out okay together.

Since childhood, I’ve loved chocolate, nearly every form, from Hershey’s milk chocolate bars,(with or without nuts) to thickly iced cupcakes, to brownies and layer cakes. The brownies I first encountered happened when I visited my father,Irving, a baker, at one of his six bakeries in Newark, New Jersey. Baking was his business for several decades from the 1930’s to late 1950’s. His father Pincus, wanted him to take over the bakery business shortly after my Dad finished law school at Rutgers college. Back then it was called Mercer Beasley college based in Newark.
My father worked long, late hours and when he arrived home, after he settled in an easy chair in the basement, eyes closed from exhaustion, I sprayed Bactine on his feet because they hurt him a lot and the cool, green liquid soothed him. He giggled when the chilly medicine, as it was called back then, hit his feet! I performed this service often for my Dad when I was about 8 until just after I turned 10. My father died suddenly when I was 10.
Although awful and traumatic of course to loose my Dad when I was so young,(I was numb for decades. My mother took me to therapy which was indeed helpful. As an adult I also partook of more therapy), I credit my father with ingraining in me my passion for baking. When I would visit Dad at one of his bakeries (the one where he had his main office upstairs), I still can visualize rows and rows of cakes, cookies, donuts, and especially brownies in the glass cases. The brownies were iced in a flowery pattern, attractive and so yummy!
So today, over the past fifty years, chocolate has been my go-to sweet when I bake. My kitchen shelves are full of all different kinds of chocolate– cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate,bitter chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, white chocolate.
Lately, I’ve done some research on chocolate as I learn more about premium American chocolate, imported varieties from Switzerland, France, Germany as well as Dutch varieties. I quote the recently-deceased cookbook author and chocolate expert, Alice Medrich who states,”Ordinary chocolate makes good-enough desserts, but great chocolate makes fabulous desserts”. The composition of chocolate has changed in the last 10-15 years, and still unfolds, as Americans continue to buy imported brands from around the world.
As one looks at the chocolate liquor and cocoa bean content on labels, you’ll see the higher percentage of those ingredients,(for example, bittersweet chocolate 70%) indicates more intense flavor of chocolate. However,more sugar in chocolate, such as with milk chocolate and you’re down, on average to 27% which shows the sweet flavor of milk chocolate is high sugar, not the intense chocolate flavor in premium chocolate with more chocolate liquor and cocoa beans. American baking companies are learning from their European counterparts and recently have begun to blend their chocolate baking products differently. Some are using less sugar,and more real chocolate flavor and may be having more success!
12 oz. butter
1/4 cup Crisco – solid piece
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 Tablespoon honey
1 egg, room temperature
2 egg yolks, room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup high quality cocoa powder, sifted
8 oz. flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 rd cup semisweet chocolate chunks or chips
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts of your choice, but not peanuts
sprinkling of sea salt or confectioners sugar, as topping
1 Using a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an oven safe one, heat the butter and Crisco together until just melted. Take off the heat and add the sugars and honey, stirring occasionally. This can take 3-5 minutes. let the mixture cool several minutes.
2 Add the egg and egg yolks one at a time, stirring slowly after each addition. Add the vanilla,stirring gently with a spatula, then in 2-3 portions add the cocoa, stirring it in gently. Finally,add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, mixing them together first, and then slowly folding them into the pan until well mixed. Add the chocolate chunks, and the nuts, if using.Stir lightly until combined. With a spatula, even out the chocolate mound.
3 Chill the pan, covered with plastic, in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 2 days.
4 Preheat the oven for a good 15 minutes at 350 before you put the pan in the oven. Remove the pan from the refrigerator 10 minutes before you put the pan in the oven. And, before you do put the pan in the oven, sprinkle with a small handful of sea salt, or after the cookie is baked and cooled, sprinkle a small handful of confectioners sugar through a strainer with very small holes. Do this process as you hold the strainer many inches above the pan so you avoid any clumping of the confectioners sugar.
5 Bake 20-22 minutes until the center looks slightly dry and the edges seem to be pulling away very slightly from the pan. A bit in from the edges and you’ll see some cracking, which is fine. Don’t over bake, unless you want crispy cookies!
6 Serve warm or cooled with ice cream or whipped cream or, just alone.
Tips and Tweaks
# Different additions can be added, such as raisins, unsweetened coconut, dried fruit or berries etc.,to the brownies if you don’t want to keep it pure and simple. However, don’t overdo it since it might interfere with the luscious taste of the brownie. Yet if you add any of these suggestions, keep them to about half a cup total, otherwise too you might overfill the pan!
# use, if available, the best high quality chocolate for the cocoa and the semi sweet chocolate. Like Alice Medrick says, the best chocolate does make a difference in taste!
# Regarding nuts, keep them chunky to really relish the nice combination of chocolate and nuts when you bit down. | <urn:uuid:3dd5e0d9-a49b-4b68-98c8-e3df83ddfda8> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://marilynraff.com/2019/08/20/double-chocolate-brownie-honey-sweetened/ | 2020-07-07T11:27:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655892516.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707111607-20200707141607-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.956351 | 1,330 | [

Tetricus II's father succeeded to the throne of the Gallic empire after the death of Victorinus and made him Caesar in 273 and Augustus in spring 274 A.D. After three years of rule, the power of the separatist state had declined and in 273 A.D. Aurelian invaded. Tetricus I abdicated rather than fight the vastly superior forces of Aurelian. Tetricus II and his father were both honored by Aurelian and they lived quite comfortably in Rome.

- Students who only need or want to fulfill minimum requirements to graduate high school.
- Students who are not mature enough to handle a high school level class.
Grade Option 2(by request)
- Request your letter grade to be included on your high school transcript.
- Instead of a checkbox (default), your grade for this class will be on your high school transcript.
- Letter grade will count toward your high school GPA.
- This counts as your 1/2 year (1 semester) Social Studies elective when calculating graduation requirements.
- Frees up 1 semester in high school to take any other elective you want.
- Students who earn a 'B' or higher.
- Students who have other interests, who want an extra semester in high school to take another elective of your choice (think of: band, art, sports, a foreign language, extra science or math credits that can look good on college applications, etc.) | <urn:uuid:3e402de8-b20c-4a6a-b879-0eee42db1666> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.everettsd.org/Page/29400 | 2020-07-09T10:20:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655899931.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709100539-20200709130539-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.905501 | 420 | [

The Fair Trade Movement
The basic concept is simple, but enacting it in the world of international business is more involved. After all, you can't just hand the cashier at the candy store a few extra dollars and tell him to pass it on to the family who grew the cocoa.
The modern, fair trade movement began in the 1950s with Alternative Trade Organizations (ATO). Humanitarian groups started ATOs to help alleviate poverty in developing nations. They did this by cutting the middleman out of trade between small producers in the Northern Hemisphere and small businesses in the Southern Hemisphere. This meant more direct profits for workers in developing nations.
In 1988, Dutch ATO Solidaridad proposed a labeling system to help introduce products into mainstream markets without compromising consumer trust in their humanitarian efforts. Since then, fair trade has grown into a globalized initiative. A number of fair trade products ranging from wine to soccer balls are currently available. Product availability varies from country to country, but one of the most widespread and well-known fair trade items is fair trade coffee.
Coffee is a fluctuating market. As recently as 2001, the price dipped so low that the average coffee grower received only 45 cents per pound of coffee. However, fair trade buyers that year paid $1.21 per pound of coffee, better enabling coffee growers to purchase necessities [source: FLO]. Fair trade certification made this possible.
Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) oversees fair trade certification on the production end, inspecting farms and facilities in several countries. They ensure agricultural products are produced by small farms and that those involved are engaged in a democratically-operated cooperative. The farms must also follow basic environmental, health, safety, labor and human rights regulations.
To ensure these standards and to justify the higher-than-market fair trade prices, customers want to know which products they can put their conscious-driven spending dollars behind. National fair trade labeling organizations such as TransFair USA and the European Fair Trade Association work with the FLO to handle product labeling.
In some cases, the additional funds created through fair trade pricing go toward the improvement of local conditions, especially in cases where laborers have no ownership in production. This sum, paid in addition to fair trade prices, is called a social premium. These funds help establish scholarships, health care programs, better sanitation and small-business loans in some impoverished areas.
Fair trade products are often high quality or organic. But beyond these qualities, consumers are usually willing to pay more because they believe the producers have a basic human right to fair wages and living conditions.
Despite its humanitarian aims, the fair trade movement has its share of critics. On the next page, we'll look at some of the pros and cons of fair trade. | <urn:uuid:ded89cc4-b833-4ed8-bd65-b4760e277e5c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://money.howstuffworks.com/fair-trade1.htm | 2020-07-12T23:55:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657140337.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712211314-20200713001314-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.961262 | 562 | [

I thought I would write a few little tips if you are thinking about buying a new home… If you are thinking about buying a new home there are something that you want to keep in mind.
(1.) Make sure you are dealing with a reputable builder…..
You have to understand that it is buyers beware…. You have to make sure that the builder has been around for a while…. In Texas I’ve see so many new builders that are building homes….. Make sure that they are not a fly in the wall company.
(2.) Don’t be afraid to ask questions…..
When you deal with a sales person remember , their job is to sell you a home. You have to make sure that you feel comfortable when dealing with them. If for some reason they sound too push, or they are not giving you enough information. Don’t be afraid to find a different person to work with. Sometimes larger companies allow other communities sales people to find a home in a community that fits your needs…
(3.) Learn your warranties …..
Make sure you find out about all of your warranties…. Learn what the warranties will or will not cover…. Make sure you know what are consider items that are fixable and items that will only carry 1 or 2 year warranties. To many people fail to understand what the builders will cover. That’s why you have to know your warranties before you sign on the dotted line….
(4.) Learn about the neighborhood and subdivision……
Just because its a new subdivision does mean that you don’t need to do your homework….. Don’t be afraid to ask a few people who have moved in the community about the community… Find out from the police department about how many times they get called out to the community…
Make sure that its not a high volume of calls…… Try and found out what was there before the community was built. If the sales person cannot answer go to your records building and research the subdivision to see if it was just a farm land or vacate land…….
(5.) Understand the paperwork that’s involved….
Understand the paperwork that is involved when signing an agreement. If you do not understand it, then you need to hire a Realtor to look over it….. Remember, you want people who are in your corner looking out for you…..
(6.) Use a Realtor….
Don’t count out the fact that just because it is a new community that you don’t need a Realtor….. Realtors can be good tools for information if they are familiar with the neighborhood… Ask the Realtor to run comps and try and find new home sales so that you can get a good idea of what new homes sales look like in a neighborhood…. This will let you know exactly what your home maybe worth and allow you to make a solid decision… Also you can have them look over the paperwork…. Sometimes they can pick up errors that you might have missed……
(7.) Remember you can use your own mortgage company or bank if need be….
Many times Builders have incentives to get buyers to go thru their mortgage companies… Always remember that you don’t have to use them if u choose not to…… Remember to negotiate who pays title policies…. Sometimes builders, will use paying title polices to get you to go with there mortgage company….. There is nothing wrong with going with a builders mortgage company to get the better incentives…
Make sure that there mortgage company is providing you with good customer service…. If for some reason you find a mortgage company sending you the paperwork without explaining to you what is going on then you might want to look into finding someone else to deal with that will provide better services…… Remember, they are getting paid , so why not get the best service……. Don’t be afraid to walk away from a deal if you don’t feel comfortable doing it…. | <urn:uuid:c4d82e8f-cf1a-4874-b916-4cbf3dec72be> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://sellorbuyhomefast.com/few-tips-when-buying-new-home/ | 2020-07-12T21:28:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657140337.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712211314-20200713001314-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.955887 | 806 | [

Accord Could Bring Better Golf Clubs: Tech Breakthroughs Passed to Industry (Times Dispatch)
Accord Could Bring Better Golf Clubs:
Tech Breakthroughs Passed to Industry
NEWPORT NEWS - An agreement signed yesterday between a federal nuclear physics laboratory and a space and aeronautics research center could lead to better golf clubs and bicycle frames.
That achievement might not advance pure science, but it would help satisfy demands that Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility and NASA's Langley Research Center make their technological breakthroughs available for use in industry, officials said.
The Jefferson Lab has been under pressure "to demonstrate that we can do something, at least on some time scale, for economic development," said Dr. Christoph Leeman, the laboratory's director.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg for what we can do in the future," said Dr. Jeremiah Creedon, NASA Langley director.
Both NASA Langley in Hampton and the Jefferson Lab in Newport News already are involved in so-called technology transfer projects of various kinds, but yesterday's agreement added a new dimension.
Rather than simply spinning off research technology for commercial purposes, the agreement between the two national research centers will also make the expertise and equipment of each facility available for the primary research needs of the other.
In one of the projects launching the agreement, NASA scientists will use the Jefferson Laboratory's Free Election Laser to create a new, stronger carbon fiber material that might ultimately be used to fashion everything from future-generation computer circuits to improved bike frames and golf club shafts.
But Dr. Michael W. Smith, a NASA scientist working on the project, says the material could play a more primary role as the "skin" for space shuttles that would weigh half that of the current tile-covered, aluminum shuttles.
The carbon fiber material is made of tiny tubes created by focusing a powerful laser beam on a block of graphite mixed with metals. These nanotubes, just one-billionth of a meter in diameter, are created in a plume of high-temperature material that flies off the graphite block when zapped by the laser beam, Smith said.
The tubes, formed by the rearrangement of carbon atoms, in the lab can make a fiber stronger than those made through other processes, but researchers need to develop ways to produce the material reliably, he said.
At that point, industrial companies could then invest several million dollars to build their own laser facilities and produce the material.
In addition to creating new materials, nanotubes may someday be used in such fields as medical and information technology, Smith said.

Like so many vape devices today, we’ve reached a bit of a saturation point when it comes to innovation. So, when something new comes across our desks, we fight for the opportunity to test them. Enter the Dotmod dotRDA.
With the dotRDA, Dotmod is turning to the time-honored adage of “addition by subtraction,” creating what might be the world’s most advanced single-post RDA. With a suggested retail price of $65 or higher, this is hardly a beginner dripper – but does it deliver advanced performance to match the advanced price tag? Let’s dive in…
Dotmod dotRDA look, feel and design
Dotmod certainly knows how to make a high-end impression. The packaging for the dotRDA is an exercise in excess, with each element of the package delivered in glass vials, cork tops, and even some straw-like filler material to complete the look. To some, it might seem like overkill, but I enjoy seeing innovative design choices in packaging; there’s only so many cube boxes a person can endure.
Inside this classy, distinct packaging, users will find the 24mm dotRDA, a “dotKey” screwdriver, a bottom-feeding pin for squonker devices, a pair of prebuilt fused claptons, spare parts, and a legitimate certificate of authenticity, to distinguish the dotRDA from the inevitable slew of clones that will rise in the wake of this high-end dripper.
Removing the dotRDA from the package reveals a smoothly machined, anodized aluminum body with no signs of stray filaments or nicks. Unlike so many new RDAs I test, the dotRDA came apart easily, immediately greeting me with the sheen from its gold-plated brass build deck, top-tier PEEK insulators, and one of the most unique post designs yet created.
This monstrous center-mounted, spring-loaded single post sits atop a sizable PEEK insulator block, and is kept together by a massive Phillips screw. When taking the dotRDA apart, users will enjoy an easy swap of the standard gold-plated 510 pin with the included bottom-feeder pin for squonker capability.
Getting back to the huge build deck, another item of note is the tremendously deep juice well, which measures 4.8mm tall, meaning proper builds will keep you vaping considerably longer before needing to re-juice the wicks.
Finally, the amber-colored, wide-bore ULTEM drip tip completes the package. Though this amber color is becoming common, I wish my black dotRDA came with at least one other color option, as I’m already tiring of drip tips that look like they’re stained from cigarette smoke.
In short, the Dotmod dotRDA is a sharp, original-looking device that –pardon the pun – just drips with potential. But we can’t vape potential, so let’s have a build.
Working with the dotRDA build deck
Almost every modern RDA comes with documentation indicating these devices aren’t for beginner vapers. And rightly so, as today’s drippers are becoming increasingly complex. But the dotRDA backs up this claim, as even experienced drippers will have to adapt to some unique features.
Taking the deck apart requires just a few turns of the screw, but the spring-loaded design means you’ll need to be careful keeping things safely intact, otherwise the device might just be rendered useless.
Unscrewing the dotRDA clamp releases the spring, allowing you to seat any coil configuration you can dream up, into the post’s huge pair of terminals. I chose to keep things simple to start, and inserted the killer fused claptons Dotmod included in the vial. Though seating the coils evenly was a touch difficult while getting used to the spring, ultimately I found the right way to position them, and loved the single-screw fastening.
Once placed in the deck correctly, the clamps hold the coils in place with vigor. I tweaked the claptons’ positioning countless times with a screwdriver, and the leads held without an ounce of movement. Not that I needed to do this, mind you. The way the deck expands and compresses with the single screw brings coils to a position centered right on the PEEK insulator block, and it’s a perfect height for airflow and flavor.
The squonk pin confusion of the dotRDA
As has become standard practice, the Dotmod dotRDA comes with a bottom-feeding pin to convert the device to a squonker. It is a great idea in theory, but in practice, this is where the dotRDA becomes a lot more frustrating and complicated.
Installation of the BF pin was easy enough, but the design of the center post means your squonker will operate a little differently than most. Rather than having the squonk tube feed into the base of the RDA, filling the deck and wetting the wicks, the dotRDA sends the juice higher, into the top of the post, where it then drips down the convex slope onto the coils.
It doesn’t seem like it would cause a problem, but I found squonking from the top down, rather than the bottom up, to be more laborious, and less effective than the traditional approach. I had several occasions when I needed to remove the top cap to see if I accurately wet the wicks, and sure enough, I hadn’t.
Plus, with the low-positioned side airflow slots, it becomes very easy to have squonked e-liquid adhere to the side walls, eventually finding its way into these slots, creating a messy situation no one should have to endure on an otherwise beautifully made device.
Before long, I didn’t want to use the Dotmod dotRDA as a bottom-feeder, which frustrated me. But moving back to a traditional RDA approach was much more enjoyable.
Traditional dripping on the dotRDA
As a standard RDA, Dotmod’s latest is a top-tier performer. The massive juice well allows for a huge amount of e-liquid to feed your coils, yet none of the usual leaking or condensation appears on the surface, or near the low-positioned airflow slots.
Feeding liquid through the proprietary drip tip was easy and effortless, though I did find myself removing the cap more often than not. But again, with such a deep well, I dripped with reckless abandon and never once had issues with oversaturation, spitback or leaking.
The important thing is that the dotRDA offers magnificent flavor and vapor production, both with the included coils, as well as any other build I threw its way. I found that a simple Kanthal build around 0.25 ohms produced the best, most flavorful vape, but coil artists are going to have a field day with the amount of room provided by the capacious deck.
One item that bugged me a bit was the looseness of the cap. It was nice being able to remove the cap to drip, but as the dual o-rings began to wear down, it became looser than I’m comfortable with, especially when pocketing the dotRDA on a mod. On several occasions, I noticed the cap beginning to separate from the base without much pressure. Over time, I can see this becoming a much bigger issue.
Back to vaping the device, I pushed the dotRDA to around 120 watts – well above my personal preference – I’m happy to report the device stayed cool enough to grab and fill, even after extended vaping. The gold-plated brass does an excellent job of conducting heat without transferring much to the aluminum body, which makes refilling a pleasure.
Innovation for the sake of innovation?
There is absolutely nothing WRONG with the included Ultem drip tip. It has a nice mouthfeel, stays cool on the lips, and doesn’t accumulate any moisture in its threading. In fact, to the naked eye, it seems just like a standard 810 drip tip.
So, why not just use an 810 connection? In an effort to make this a proprietary device, Dotmod slightly adjusted the drip tip parameters, meaning your collection of 810 tips simply won’t fit right, forcing you to use the company’s included tips instead. While they work fine, this is a vanity oversight, and a case of overthinking on the part of Dotmod, which should have kept things simple.
On that note, the spring-loaded, single-post deck is also a bone of contention. Let’s be clear – the design works well, and once I got the hang of it, building on the dotRDA was a breeze. But does this fiddly new mechanism ADD anything to the vaping experience? No, it doesn’t.
I loved the Dotmod dotRDA’s airflow, deep juice well and overall performance, but I can’t attribute any of these things to the deck itself. A standard Goon-style system would have worked just as well. In fact, even a trusty Velocity-style deck would have allowed for the same types of creative coils, airflow, etc. There’s nothing at all wrong with the deck, but it also isn’t the innovation Dotmod seems to believe it is. Change is good. Change for the heck of it confuses me.
Wrapping up…And Score
Despite a few pesky concerns – the odd squonker performance, the drip tip, and the weird post, the Dotmod dotRDA is a high-performing, high-end RDA, that offers rich flavor and thick vapor to users. It might be a touch overdesigned, but when push comes to shove, the dotRDA is a wonderful vape device that justifies the investment for advanced vapers.

Mumbai: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has joined the global legacy of “The Lion King”, and is winning hearts with his voice-over as King Mufasa in the Hindi version of the upcoming live-action movie.
SRK shared the trailer of the Hindi version on Friday, tweeting “Delighted to be a part of this global legacy”.
Since then, the trailer has gone viral in the virtual world.
One user wrote: “Global legacy met a global star — SRK”, while another expressed: “You got me in my feeling there Shah Rukh… lending your voice to #Mufasa is like completing the circle of entertainment”.
“Mufasa has withstood the test of time as one of the most endearing and iconic characters. We cannot imagine having a better and more iconic voice than Shah Rukh Khan to bring Mufasa’s wisdom to life in Hindi,” Bikram Duggal – Head, Studio Entertainment, Disney India, said in a statement.
“We are thrilled with the fans reaction to the trailer,” he added.
Opening about the process of dubbing, Duggal said: “The entire team had a lot of fun during the dubbing, Shah Rukh Khan insisted that we all hear what he does with the dubbing and we will all see how it sounds and make changes before final dub. Shah Rukh Khan is a thorough professional.”
Shah Rukh has dubbed for the film along with his son Aryan, who has lent voice to the character of Simba, in the upcoming live-action movie.
Screenwriter Mayur Puri, who has worked on the Hindi version of “The Lion King”, asserts that Shah Rukh is a “complete director’s actor or a writer’s actor”.
“He doesn’t come as a star but as a worker. The amount of hard work that a recordist or any other creative person will put in, Shah Rukh sir will put an equal or more amount of hard work into the project,” Puri said.
“He is really invested in the project and very passionate about it,” he added.
On working with him, Puri said: “It is so funny… Shah sir works at night. And at that time we are a bit tired. But we are charged up when Shah sir and Aryan leave the studio around 4-5 in the morning. That is because we are excited as we are so happy with the work.
“They keep teasing each other… It is a lot of fun… The Hindi version has shaped up very well.”
The trailer of the upcoming live-action movie opens with Shah Rukh looking into the camera at a recording studio as he emphasises on the importance of staying connected to one’s identity.
“Main hamesha tumhare saath hun, aur hamesha tumhare saath hi rahunga… Bas yaad rakhna ke tum kaun ho… Ek sacha raja (Simba, I am always with you and will always be there for you. Just remember who you are – a true king,” Shah Rukh says as Mufasa.
In the trailer, Shah Rukh is also giving advice to Simba about how a “true king” should think about what he can do for his people, and not what his people can do for him.
In the closing moments of the trailer, Mufasa tells Simba to always remember who he is — “A true king”.
There’s no dialogue of Simba in the over one-minute long trailer.
Disney India has roped in Ashish Vidyarthi, Shreyas Talpade, Sanjay Mishra and Asrani for the Hindi version. Ashish has lent his voice to Scar, Shreyas has given voice of Timon, Sanjay to Pumbaa and Asrani to Zazu.
“The Jungle Book” fame director Jon Favreau has re-imagined the world of Disney’s classic to bring alive a live-action film. He has stayed true to the classic story of Simba and used pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring the iconic characters to the big screen in a whole new way.
The film will release in India on July 19 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. | <urn:uuid:b0a9f61c-9647-4929-8fb0-a0e1f357385f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.gdayindia.com.au/shah-rukh-khan-wins-hearts-as-king-mufasa/ | 2020-07-03T20:40:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882934.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703184459-20200703214459-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.951262 | 944 | [

Their business-critical software means every product must serve core customer needs. Every line of code must work as designed. And every product must provide continuous uptime. As the client first developed and launched new products, part of their process has long included in-house Quality Assurance (QA) procedures. As their business grew, the coverage and complexity of their software also expanded. Now, their individual business clients even sometimes require QA testing for their specific implementations of their Online Presence Platform.
QA for this expanding environment is a tricky business. It requires not only technical software knowledge and a strong understanding of product-market fit, but also the ability to evaluate code free of assumptions and biases that often guide the software development process. A good QA team not only understands and addresses visible bugs, it also objectively evaluates the big picture, spots inherent assumptions and uncovers issues missed in development. This company realized they needed a partner. And not just one that would robotically review lines of code for errors. They wanted a reliable third-party to meet schedule and budget demands, work closely with their in-house QA team and approach QA testing from an unbiased, problem-solving perspective. | <urn:uuid:5ef49952-a385-452e-a1bf-6aa2b24a7618> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.glowtouch.com/clients/white-label-web-services-provider/ | 2020-07-03T19:45:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882934.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703184459-20200703214459-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.965101 | 242 | [

This is one of the rare semi-political posts. You were warned.
So for the second time, I have had to sit through active shooter training. The first time I was less than pleased and sent this letter to my boss, our CEO, and our HR department. Names redacted with a semi-random number of yyyyyy.
My objection has to do with Sergeant yyyyyy portion of the training. At some point, I realized that he used the word “kill” a lot. He used the phrase “kill the bad guy” no fewer than 12 times in the hour we spend on tactical awareness. There were probably times before I started counting them. Most of the time, he used this phrase in reference to “it was his job to kill the bad guy.” But a sizeable number of his use of this phrase was in reference yyyyyy employees should “kill the bad guy” in active shooter situations. In your summary at the end , you did not use the phrase “kill the bad guy” but you did saying something to the effect of “if someone comes here to do something nasty to you, you (meaning yyyyyyy employees) should pay them back in kind.” Since for the past hour, we were told repeatedly that the “bad guy” was here to “kill” us, I took your comment to mean you expected us to kill.
While Sergeant yyyyy did talk a little bit about running and hiding from attackers and he did talk about making sure to have a plan, he never presented any other option other than “kill the bad guy” for fighting. There was never a mention of subdue, incapacitate, chase off, hurt, maim, or capture the “bad guy”, just kill him.
Both Sergeant yyyyyy explicitly and yyyy by inference gave us, as civilians and yyyyyy employees, “permission” to kill another person.
Near the end, Sergeant yyyyy felt it necessary to single me out (as an example; I am aware he did not do so on purpose) as a person that if I was not willing to “kill the bad guy”, I would be responsible for the deaths of my coworkers through inaction.
My objection is this: I have a deeply held religious belief about the sanctity of life. We did not create these lives and therefore they are not ours to take. I do not know if others at yyyyyyy have the same deeply held belief but it is not an unreasonable belief to have. Every major religion and moral philosophical system has a prohibition against killing. Even our own legal code prohibits killing. If you were to kill someone in self-defense, an outside body would determine if you did so justly. Even the police have their actions reviewed to determine whether they acted lawfully. It is not for us to determine a priori and by ourselves whether we should kill someone. Someone with my deeply held belief should have been an expected member of this training at some point and reasonable accommodation made to them. Also, I was led to believe that you had attended this training before and unless Sergeant yyyyy just didn’t use the word “kill” as much, you should have realized this could be objectionable to someone with deeply held beliefs. We were given no specific warning as to the content nor given any option but endure it as this was a mandatory training session.
Based on this training, the take away could reasonably be that both the police and yyyyyyy expects us to kill the intruder. That intruder breaks into the barricaded room. Those of us in that room fight the intruder. We manage to disarm the intruder and maybe even render him unable to fight back. No mention of this situation was made; we were repeatedly told to “kill the bad guy.” Based on the tone of the training, what is to stop someone from yyyyyy, deciding before they are in imminent harm that they will kill the intruder regardless of what condition they find the intruder in? Courts have already determined that this is murder if you decide beforehand that you are going to kill someone.
Contrary to Sergeant yyyyy and your own statements, no one can give us “permission” to kill another person. You both lack the legal and moral authority to do so. That both the police and yyyyyy management feel that they can give us permission to kill is disturbing to say the least. Potentially, such advice that we have “permission to kill” could be used against yyyyyy in a legal situation (wrongful death suit for instance).
Other than make you aware of my belief, I am going to do nothing else about it. We were warned that it was a disturbing subject. Obviously, discussing mass shootings is disturbing. Being commanded to kill another human being does not have to be part of that training. Based on what I heard, I would believe that Officer yyyyy and Sergeant yyyyyy would agree that it would be difficult for a civilian unused to killing another person to actually do it. That said, then they should not be telling those civilians to do that.
Now to the actionable feedback.
First, Sergeant yyyyyy should pay more attention to his language. I think most people would like to believe that the police would kill someone as a last resort; not as a first opportunity. Whether it is Sergeant yyyyy job to “kill the bad guy” or not is a matter for a larger public debate, but it really doesn’t add anything to his training. He could refer to why we should not attach ourselves to the police in these situations as he “needs to make sure the building is safe” or “he is focused on pursuing the bad guy” or “he is trying to resolve the situation.” Additionally, he should not be encouraging the civilians in these cases to kill. Fight back, yes. Disarm, subdue, yes. Kill? No. I understand he would probably trying to ensure that people weren’t pulling punchs. I am sure adrenaline will take care of that.
Other language issues. No one is a whore. I am glad they finally realized that calling someone in a room full of women a whore is objectionable. We don’t need to hear any of our coworkers referred to that way. His point is that many medications interfere with sexual function and that is a reason some people don’t take them. It in no way makes anyone a whore. In fact, some of those medications also increase sexual desire. That still doesn’t make anyone a whore.
Officer yyyyy needs to remove his references to media bias. One, his talk isn’t about media bias against the police so the references serve no purpose to the training. Plus, later comments by him and Sergeant yyyyy overuse of phrase, “kill the bad guy” actually reinforces that the media might be right. Just don’t talk about it. It doesn’t apply.
They both need to avoid tangents about officer shootings that are not about the presentation. Sergeant yyyy mentioned the incident in Ferguson, MO. Regardless of his beliefs in the case, that was not an incident of an active shooter in the crowded building. Talking about media bias and Ferguson distract from their main points and encourage the audience to form other opinions about the police that have nothing to do with the training being presented.
There was very little presented about the fact that the most likely shooter these cases will have some connection to yyyyyyyyy. That means the most likely shooter will be an employee (or recent former employee) or someone close to an employee. That means the shooter will be someone you probably know. According to the training, this person is going to be killed by you or in front of you. It is traumatic enough to be in active shooter situation. When that person is a friend or colleague, imagine how much more traumatic that will be. They should talk more about that.
Aside from the overuse and objectionable use of “kill”, I felt the mental health portion was well done. I would have liked a little more about how identifying mental health issues might prevent the active shooter situation altogether. I would have liked more focus on the run, hide, fight aspects of the tactical awareness. More discussion on what improvised weapons you might have, how you might use those improvised weapons, ways to actually make an effective barricade, and perhaps how you can safely inform the police that you have actually subdued the bad guy without the police wanting to shoot you. Because regardless of whether someone has my beliefs about life and killing, very few people not used to fighting and/or killing will be able to do it. In short, less “kill the bad guy” and more “here is how you survive.”
Those comments seemed well received and my most recent training session was better. There was more of a focus on run, hide, fight. That said, I still find the subject misses the entire point.
One of the statistics presented was on motives for active shooters. I assume these statistics were nationwide. 58% were listed as unknown and 21% were listed as workplace dissatisfaction. This training focused on workplace dissatisfaction as it was for workplace violence. I am willing to bet that a large portion on that 58% is also workplace related; we just don’t know because the person is died now and didn’t leave us any explanation for what they did.
A lot of talk was given to security measures we have implemented. To make us safer. I can’t help but recall Ben Franklin here, “He who is willing to sacrifice freedom for security deserves neither.” A lot of talk and questions about “is doing that rude?” with the response being “it is better to be rude to protect your coworkers.” Privately in discussions, I played devil’s advocate and posed the question, “what if that rudeness is what sets someone off?” And I actually believe that to an extent.
Someone did have the courage to ask, “What are we doing in those cases where we terminate someone to make sure they do become an active shooter?” I think for me that is the crux of it all. What if we spent the money on creating a better environment instead of security measures? What if we make it so that people don’t want to hurt us? Maybe a bit pollyanna of me but shouldn’t we create the world we want to live in? Because like it or not, we do create the world we actually live in.
Some attention was paid to the fact that it is likely to be someone we know if any of this happens. And assuming they aren’t really insane, they will do some planning. As an avid roleplayer, I have to say the exercise is not all that hard. Not all that much more difficult than figuring out how to invade a vampire’s lair. Many of the recent shootings demonstrate advance planning. Someone didn’t randomly choose to go shooting that day. They decided where to go, how to get in, who their targets were, and how to get the weapons involved. Many even practiced beforehand. Run Hide Fight works ok against a random person but how well does it work against someone who is specifically gunning for you? Again, I bet not very well.
In the vast majority of cases, and I am pretty confident it is true in my company’s case, active shooter is a very low probability event. I asked a few coworkers, do you think a fire is more likely? They all said yes. Our last fire drill, we did okay but people didn’t take it seriously and took their time getting out. I don’t have a lot of hope for how we will respond to a shooter. At least my office is a tornado shelter so that helps.
I just don’t see this training as valuable. It feels like an attempt to solve a problem that doesn’t solve anything. It is a low probability event. An intelligent and prepared person will overcome the obstacles put in their way. I am not saying it isn’t serious and that some training isn’t valuable. But I would like to see more time, energy, and money spent on preventing people wanting to shoot someone else. Money for improving the workplace environment, energy on treating people with respect and dignity, and time to build relationship. | <urn:uuid:0af689c3-523a-4495-af6f-8596b7fdb693> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://oswynsmusings.broomstich.com/2018/06/ | 2020-07-05T16:46:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887377.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705152852-20200705182852-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.980486 | 2,617 | [

Becoming a personal finance ‘project manager’ for clients
Becoming a personal finance ‘project manager’ for clients
I decided that the financial-services field would be a good fit with my interest in quantitative decision-making, financial reporting and management, the ability to work with professionals in other fields, and my training in project management. Developing sound financial, investment, and risk-management plans for individuals and families is, without a doubt, a form of project management that requires a disciplined approach to progressing toward a set of objectives. While this might be a lifelong journey for clients, that commitment to a disciplined process is a constant.
I was able to secure an interview with a well-known national firm and was hired as an associate financial advisor. I received excellent training and worked for an experienced advisor in a support role initially. This required becoming proficient in using planning software, doing research, and constructing financial plan options. I was extremely pleased with the depth of the training, took to it quickly, and was rapidly becoming an experienced professional and a financial advisor with my own client base. After about two and half years, I felt ready to strike out on my own, with that entrepreneurial spirit taking over again. I am grateful for the training and support I received in that position, but I am very happy to have made the decision to start my own firm.
They are also a good attitudinal fit. They are willing to put in the work with me to develop a sound financial plan. Because their work lives are so busy, they tend to stay very focused and efficient during the planning process. As professionals, they also tend to be open to financial guidance and education, respecting the fact that our firm is very knowledgeable and delivers highly professional services.
Workplace retirement benefits can be more complex for these individuals than other clients, and they can include options such as state pensions and ORP, 457(b), 401(k), and 403(b) plans, or some combination of these. We can provide the guidance necessary to make informed choices on many elements of these plans and the coordination of how they might fit into one’s overall retirement-funding plan. Each plan usually has different options, investments, and implementation details, and we work with clients to evaluate how these benefits might best fit their specific financial and family situation, risk profile, and time line.
I also work extensively with 403(b) and other plan participants in another sense. My broker-dealer, Voya Financial Advisors, has a substantial presence in the area of workplace retirements benefits. In my role of representing their offerings, I work with human resource departments and the employees of public school systems, universities, colleges, and hospitals. During this process, I service existing relationships and also cultivate new relationships by introducing Voya’s capabilities.
Depending on the procedures in place for a specific educational or medical organization, I reach out and meet plan participants in several different ways: through educational seminars to large groups, one-on-one scheduled consultations or Q & A sessions, staff meetings, or through benefits fairs. If they would like to discuss a full financial-planning relationship, that might occur in the school, at their home, or at a conference facility that is convenient for both of us.
I employ a proven financial-planning process and incorporate sophisticated planning software within the process. In essence, we deeply explore life and financial goals with a client, identify a 360-degree view of their financial-planning needs, and then work closely with the client to define goals-based objectives and an implementation plan.
In terms of investment planning implementation, that is obviously highly dependent on what is outlined in the specific IPS for any client. In general terms, when a client is close to or in retirement, or very risk averse, I will tend to recommend investment strategies that use risk-managed strategies, employing the services of a third-party manager. I believe it can be smart to leverage technology and quantitative, rules-based strategies to seek to mitigate risk in down markets and have a goal of growing assets in favorable market conditions. We can attempt to do that through different aspects of asset allocation, diversification, and the specific types of strategies that we recommend for a client’s objectives.
For clients who have a more aggressive outlook on risk and longer time horizons, their investment policy statement might look very different from what I just described. The key point about my broad investment philosophy is that I do not take a hard and fast position on “what works best” in a general sense and then try to force that into a client’s asset allocation.
I don’t really think in terms of active versus passive as a philosophy; my philosophy is simply to help clients construct an investment plan that will appropriately attempt to meet their long-term goals. There are many investment vehicles, strategies, and insurance products that can be used at any given point in time—my role is to help clients make informed choices as we develop the investment plan. We also want to have the flexibility in an investment plan to make adjustments when a client has major changes in life circumstances. This type of goals-based investment approach matches up well with my goal to be a client’s personal project manager when it comes to their finances, helping them to determine the resources and implementation plan to meet their objectives in an efficient and effective manner.
Managing client relationships with a focus on efficiency
Chip Hill, founder of Chill Financial Group in Lexington, Kentucky, has a practice focus on serving the financial-planning needs of professionals in the medical and academic communities. He says these are “very busy people who appreciate working with a financial professional in an efficient and productive manner.” He takes a “project management approach” in working with his clients that includes the following steps:
- Implementing a policy of transparency on fee and services disclosures at the start of the relationship.
- Conducting a comprehensive and efficient onboarding process.
- Identifying client resources and building out timetables for plan implementation.
- Prioritizing client objectives, working systematically in addressing these needs.
- Using time-saving technology for financial planning, client reporting, and communications.
- Offering clients the option of conducting meetings “virtually.”
Chip Hill is the founder of Chill Financial Group, which provides resources and guidance to clients wanting to “work toward achieving a greater sense of financial security.” He says he started Chill Financial Group “to share the diverse experience and knowledge” he has acquired as a financial advisor and project manager.
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Mr. Hill was raised in a family of educators; his mother and father were both teachers for many years. A graduate of the University of Kentucky, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in history, he says he enjoyed taking several courses in math, science technology, and medical history.
Before starting full time as a financial advisor, Mr. Hill worked in project management and sales for several national companies, school districts, universities, health-care organizations, and local companies. He says he brought an entrepreneurial approach to these positions and took great satisfaction in “helping several new enterprises get off the ground.” He was certified then as a Project Management Professional (PMP), has earned the Accredited Asset Management Specialist (AAMS) designation, and earned his teaching certificate before his previous tenure as a middle school teacher. Mr. Hill’s varied background helps his financial advisory practice focus on individuals and families involved in secondary education, higher education, and health care.
Mr. Hill enjoys sports, camping, and hiking with his wife and three children. When not at work or in the outdoors with his family, he says you will usually find him renovating their early-1900s home in Lexington, building cabinets and furniture, and doing other projects. One the family’s goals, he says, is to tour the U.S. in an RV, visiting U.S. national parks.

No honest person would disagree that most popular culture lacks a Catholic perspective, and some of it, like Netflix’s recent “Christmas movie,” is even directly hostile toward Christianity. This movie, produced by a Brazilian studio, portrays Jesus Christ as a homosexual, the Apostles as drunks, and insults the Virgin Mary in ways I won’t write here. Netflix’s response to the strong negative reaction to the movie? “[Netflix] strongly support[s] artistic expression and … will fight to defend this important principle, which is the heart of great stories.”
After a radical political group fire-bombed the creators’ Rio de Janeiro headquarters, the movie was banned by a Brazilian judge, but Brazil’s highest court overturned that ban. Netflix doesn’t seem to care about the negative reaction to this film, even though they have pulled or censored other content considered offensive by non-Christian audiences, including in Saudi Arabia (for the portrayal of the country’s relationship with the United States) and India (for insulting the country’s national flag). As usual, it seems okay for so-called “artists” to treat Christianity offensively, but other religions and systems of belief, philosophy and government are off-limits.
Some of us might respond by signing e-petitions, canceling our Netflix subscriptions, and making resolutions to withdraw completely from the culture, but those responses alone are defensive and don’t reflect the bold apostolic spirit which spread Christianity throughout the world. In fact, the Church’s enemies want us to respond in those typical ways and also in ways that bring out the worst in us. They want us out of everything: pop culture, commerce, government–everything. We shouldn’t do what they want us to do. We shouldn’t withdraw from the world. St Paul didn’t spread the Gospel by trying to censor others or by committing acts of violence or by hiding out in a cave. So, what should we do?
We should go out into the world and produce blogs, videos, movies, books, music and other forms of art that compete with what’s out there. We don’t need to do it in a way that is branded expressly Catholic and the subject matter doesn’t even need to be expressly Catholic. Rather, we should simply allow our Catholic beliefs to inform our work and God’s light will shine through it.
On April 4, 1999 Saint John Paul II wrote a letter to artists. I included some excellent quotes from the letter below.
As you read them, prayerfully consider whether God may be calling you to evangelize and celebrate his glory through some artistic talent you possess.
“None can sense more deeply than you artists, ingenious creators of beauty that you are, something of the pathos with which God at the dawn of creation looked upon the work of his hands.”
“God therefore called man into existence, committing to him the craftsman’s task. Through his ‘artistic creativity’ man appears more than ever ‘in the image of God,’ and he accomplishes this task above all in shaping the wondrous ‘material’ of his own humanity and then exercising creative dominion over the universe which surrounds him.”
“In producing a work, artists express themselves to the point where their work becomes a unique disclosure of their own being, of what they are and of how they are what they are. And there are endless examples of this in human history. In shaping a masterpiece, the artist not only summons his work into being, but also in some way reveals his own personality by means of it. For him art offers both a new dimension and an exceptional mode of expression for his spiritual growth. Through his works, the artist speaks to others and communicates with them. The history of art, therefore, is not only a story of works produced but also a story of men and women. Works of art speak of their authors; they enable us to know their inner life, and they reveal the original contribution which artists offer to the history of culture.”
“It is in living and acting that man establishes his relationship with being, with the truth and with the good. The artist has a special relationship to beauty. In a very true sense it can be said that beauty is the vocation bestowed on him by the Creator in the gift of ‘artistic talent.’ And, certainly, this too is a talent which ought to be made to bear fruit, in keeping with the sense of the Gospel parable of the talents (cf. Mt 25:14-30).”
“Those who perceive in themselves this kind of divine spark which is the artistic vocation—as poet, writer, sculptor, architect, musician, actor and so on—feel at the same time the obligation not to waste this talent but to develop it, in order to put it at the service of their neighbour and of humanity as a whole.”
“Society needs artists, just as it needs scientists, technicians, workers, professional people, witnesses of the faith, teachers, fathers and mothers, who ensure the growth of the person and the development of the community by means of that supreme art form which is ‘the art of education.’ Within the vast cultural panorama of each nation, artists have their unique place. Obedient to their inspiration in creating works both worthwhile and beautiful, they not only enrich the cultural heritage of each nation and of all humanity, but they also render an exceptional social service in favour of the common good.”
“Every genuine artistic intuition goes beyond what the senses perceive and, reaching beneath reality’s surface, strives to interpret its hidden mystery. The intuition itself springs from the depths of the human soul, where the desire to give meaning to one’s own life is joined by the fleeting vision of beauty and of the mysterious unity of things. All artists experience the unbridgeable gap which lies between the work of their hands, however successful it may be, and the dazzling perfection of the beauty glimpsed in the ardour of the creative moment: what they manage to express in their painting, their sculpting, their creating is no more than a glimmer of the splendour which flared for a moment before the eyes of their spirit.”
“Believers find nothing strange in this: they know that they have had a momentary glimpse of the abyss of light which has its original wellspring in God.”
“The Second Vatican Council laid the foundation for a renewed relationship between the Church and culture, with immediate implications for the world of art. This is a relationship offered in friendship, openness and dialogue. In the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes, the Fathers of the Council stressed ‘the great importance’ of literature and the arts in human life: ‘They seek to probe the true nature of man, his problems and experiences, as he strives to know and perfect himself and the world, to discover his place in history and the universe, to portray his miseries and joys, his needs and strengths, with a view to a better future.’”
“On this basis, at the end of the Council the Fathers addressed a greeting and an appeal to artists: ‘This world—they said—in which we live needs beauty in order not to sink into despair. Beauty, like truth, brings joy to the human heart and is that precious fruit which resists the erosion of time, which unites generations and enables them to be one in admiration!’”
“In order to communicate the message entrusted to her by Christ, the Church needs art. Art must make perceptible, and as far as possible attractive, the world of the spirit, of the invisible, of God. It must therefore translate into meaningful terms that which is in itself ineffable. Art has a unique capacity to take one or other facet of the message and translate it into colours, shapes and sounds which nourish the intuition of those who look or listen. It does so without emptying the message itself of its transcendent value and its aura of mystery.”
“With this Letter, I turn to you, the artists of the world, to assure you of my esteem and to help consolidate a more constructive partnership between art and the Church. Mine is an invitation to rediscover the depth of the spiritual and religious dimension which has been typical of art in its noblest forms in every age. It is with this in mind that I appeal to you, artists of the written and spoken word, of the theatre and music, of the plastic arts and the most recent technologies in the field of communication. I appeal especially to you, Christian artists: I wish to remind each of you that, beyond functional considerations, the close alliance that has always existed between the Gospel and art means that you are invited to use your creative intuition to enter into the heart of the mystery of the Incarnate God and at the same time into the mystery of man.”
“On the threshold of the Third Millennium, my hope for all of you who are artists is that you will have an especially intense experience of creative inspiration. May the beauty which you pass on to generations still to come be such that it will stir them to wonder! Faced with the sacredness of life and of the human person, and before the marvels of the universe, wonder is the only appropriate attitude.”
“Beauty is a key to the mystery and a call to transcendence. It is an invitation to savour life and to dream of the future. That is why the beauty of created things can never fully satisfy. It stirs that hidden nostalgia for God which a lover of beauty like Saint Augustine could express in incomparable terms: ‘Late have I loved you, beauty so old and so new: late have I loved you!.’”
“Artists of the world, may your many different paths all lead to that infinite Ocean of beauty where wonder becomes awe, exhilaration, unspeakable joy.”
“May you be guided and inspired by the mystery of the Risen Christ, whom the Church in these days contemplates with joy.”
“May the Blessed Virgin Mary be with you always: she is the ‘tota pulchra’ portrayed by countless artists, whom Dante contemplates among the splendours of Paradise as ‘beauty that was joy in the eyes of all the other saints.’”
Letter of His Holiness Pope John Paul II to Artists. http://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/letters/1999/documents/hf_jp-ii_let_23041999_artists.html

Obscurity of the Day: The Legend of Bruce Lee
By 1982 the craze had died down a bit, but that didn't stop the Los Angeles Times Syndicate from trying to capitalize on the dead star with a comic strip. Actually, though, the idea had been gestating quite awhile. In 1977 the syndicate had approached two living legends, Milton Caniff and Noel Sickles, about doing a Bruce Lee strip. Samples were drawn up but Caniff grew disgusted with what he considered nitpicky suggestions from the syndicate and dropped the project.
What happened with the idea in that long five year period I don't know, but finally on May 23 1982 The Legend of Bruce Lee began appearing in a vanishingly small number of newspapers. The strip was written by Sharman DiVono, who was also penning the Star Trek strip at the time, and drawn by Fran Matera, veteran cartoonist. Dick Kulpa did some uncredited art assisting.
The small client list might seem odd given the devoted fandom for Bruce Lee. However, we must consider a few factors. First of all, newspaper editors were pretty much convinced that continuity strips were dead, so the strip had a lot of resistance to overcome. Secondly, the market was awash in media tie-in strips at that time -- Spider-Man, Hulk, Dallas, Star Trek, Star Wars and others were all jockeying for newspaper space. Bruce Lee may have just seemed like the low man on that totem pole -- popular with teens, certainly, but did he have the mass appeal to sell newspapers? Strips featuring much higher-profile media stars were just limping along as it was -- why take a chance on a cult figure that many older readers had never heard of?
Newspaper editors looked at all these factors and very, very few decided to roll the dice on The Legend of Bruce Lee. With hardly any clients (and presumably license fees that made the profit point pretty high to begin with) the strip apparently only made it about three months before being canned. As best I can tell the strip ended on September 4 1982 (has anyone seen later?).
EDIT: As you can see from one of the comments below the strip did actually continue on well past my end date. Another reader sent me a link to Comicfans showing original art as late as May 1983, and it seems Matera had quit by then and the strip was taken over by Kulpa. Now if only we could find a US paper running it that late. I really doubt that the strip switched to foreign-only distribution, but I have no evidence otherwise -- yet!
EDIT2: Jeffrey Lindenblatt reports that the strip runs in the Wilmington Morning News until November 1982, still bylined by Matera. That's now our latest U.S. appearance.

Obscurity of the Day: The Orbits
I saw the old listings for The Orbits in E&P well before I finally stumbled upon some samples of the strip. Not having seen it, I assumed that it would be some interesting futuristic 'Jetson-y' sort of thing. Turns out not so much. The strip is a rather pedestrian drama-comedy about a typical American family. Why are they called the Orbits? I dunno.
The strip was by Bill Juhre, who was coming off a modestly successful five-year run as the artist on Draftie, a strip about a couple of soldiers. Draftie had tried to adapt to a post-war world but newspaper editors had a lot of wartime strips trying the same gambit and Draftie was one of the features that didn't make the cut.
The Orbits may well have been intended as a drop-in replacement for Draftie (which, by the way, was named Lem and Oinie in its last few years). Both strips were syndicated by the John F. Dille Company. I don't have a definite starting date for The Orbits, but I wouldn't be surprised if it debuted the day after Lem and Oinie ended on May 4 1946. I do know that early on the strip was titled The Orbit Family, and the shortened version of the title followed quite early on.
The Orbits ran daily and Sunday until May 31 1953 in what seems like a very respectable seven-year run. However, you find the strip appearing in very few papers throughout that time, and usually it ran in third- and fourth-string papers in big cities -- the guys who had to pick over comic strip crumbs in the days of territory exclusivity contracts.
Alberto Becattini cites Juhre doing assist work on the Buck Rogers Sunday 1957-58.

Obscurity of the Day: The Dizzy Daily
Here's The Dizzy Daily by Jimmy Glynn. It never carried a syndicate stamp, so it may have been self-syndicated, though the typeface on the title box is reminiscent of that sometimes used by the George Matthew Adams Service.
The pun panel ran, at least in the San Francisco Chronicle, from March 10 to October 7 1924. Another run can be found in 1927 in the San Jose Mercury Herald, but I'm guessing those are reprints.

Some clients, fewer and fewer these days, still request printed proof sheets, but they are definitely on their way out. For instance, I seem to recall hearing that King Features had either recently dropped them entirely, or were feeling out their last remaining clients in order to do so.
Some syndicates used to supply either proofs or mats. Mats are plastic or cardboard 'trays' in which molten metal is poured in order to make plates. Mats eliminate a step in the newspaper's process of getting comics on the printed page.
Some syndicates back in the day would even supply strips in plate form, ready to be put directly on the printing press. | <urn:uuid:94ac3f00-71b7-444e-afe9-e78fc8ede2d2> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2009_12_13_archive.html | 2020-07-09T14:12:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655900335.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709131554-20200709161554-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.975471 | 1,463 | [

New Video FAQ: What is Domestic Assault?
Nashville domestic assault defense attorney Brent Horst has released a new video FAQ. In it, he outlines what differentiates a domestic assault charge from a typical assault charge.
The difference boils down to who makes the accusation. If you are accused of assaulting someone you live with, the charge could be a domestic assault, which has additional penalties over a general assault charge.
You can view the video here.
If you are facing allegations of domestic violence, the Nashville criminal defense attorneys of Horst Law may be able to help you combat the charges against you. Call (615) 403-2971 to learn more. | <urn:uuid:b96a646a-c8c7-451d-86fb-c6038b3d5208> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.criminalattorneysnashville.com/2016/10/24/new-video-faq-what-is-domestic-assault/ | 2020-07-11T10:09:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655929376.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711095334-20200711125334-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.939887 | 136 | [

In the past few months of being in Leeds, there have been plenty of interesting and strange Yorkshire sayings that I’ve encountered. In Australia, we have words such as “snag”, “arvo”, “grog” that are native to the Australian language. Similarly, there are newfound words found in the ‘Yorkshire’ dialect found in places like Leeds, York and Sheffield.
As part of my Leeds Survival Guide, I’m going to share a few crucial and the most interesting words I’ve heard so far.
Most importantly, when you first make eye contact with a Yorkshire person you’ll most likely be greeted with “you alright?”. This happens to mean “how are you?” but if you’re not expecting it, it feels strange being asked if you’re alright by the cashier at a supermarket or a stranger you pass by.
Why yes I am okay… Do I not look okay?!
You are supposed to respond with something like, “yes I’m good, and you?”, but it is definitely something I had to get used to.
Aside from that, the following are some more intriguing things I’ve heard that I thought would be good for an incoming student to wrap their head around:
- Ey up – Hello?
- Aye – Yes (Kind of like a pirate with a British accent)
- Clever clogs – Conceited person
- Egg on – To urge someone to do something
- Endways – Forward
- Fancy dress – Costume (Not in fact nice clothing, but something like a Halloween costume)
- Jiggered – Exhausted
- Jock – Food or lunch (similar to the Australian use of ‘tucker’)
- Lark – Good fun
- Teem – Pour (e.g. “It’s teeming!” – “It’s pouring rain!”)
- Us – Me, my or our
- Usen – Plural of ‘us’ (Kind of like the way some Aussies say ‘youse’ as a plural of ‘you’)
And here are some Yorkshire idioms that are fun to say:
- As daft as a dormhouse – Not very intelligent
- As sharp as a Sheffield – Someone who is quick-witted
- Catch as catch can – Everyone for themselves
- Where there’s muck there’s brass – Where there’s hard work, there’s money
There are plenty more England ‘easter eggs’ like this to be found and it is most definitely worth it to explore and find them all. To quote a plaque I found in Whitby, I personally really ‘luv it ere’. | <urn:uuid:384229f8-0f08-4556-bf41-26c58c65768b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://blogs.qut.edu.au/gone-global/2017/11/21/leeds-survival-guide-part-2-leeds-lingo/ | 2020-07-13T06:16:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.940566 | 610 | [

We are pleased to introduce you to our newest advocate, Dr. Mecca Fayad. Dr. Fayad is a well-respected Chiropractor in Edmonton and when she isn’t assisting people in achieving their optimal health, you can find her dining out with friends at Edmonton’s newest and best independent restaurants or curled up with a good book. We sat down with Dr. Fayad to learn more about her and why her relationship with Healthy Bedroom is important to her.
Introducing Dr. Mecca Fayad - tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm a chiropractor here in the city of Edmonton working at All Sport Health and Performance on 124th street.. As a musculoskeletal health specialist and chiropractor I treat anything related to the muscles or the spine, catering to all sorts of individuals from a very athletic population to pregnant moms and even children.
What does a typical day look like for you?
I wake up and I fix my bed. Fixing my bed sets a good intention for the day and leads me to be more productive and feel more accomplished throughout my day. After that, I make a coffee; I'm addicted to my caffeinated beverages so I'll usually make a collagen infused coffee. Then I’ll make a smoothie to go along with it and go for a workout or head to work. After work I come home and make a nice meal and have a relaxing night-time routine before I go to bed.
What are your guilty pleasures?
Chocolate, sugar, sweets! I am Lebanese so there is no meal that goes by - I'm talking lunch dinner, and sometimes even breakfast - where there is not a healthy treat and a cup of coffee at the end of it. I believe in having a healthy, balanced life and if that means having a baklava or a piece of vanilla cake that is OK with me.
What are some common mistakes people make when they are caring for their body?
Certainly demonizing sleep; we live in a society where it's seen as a badge of honour if you get 5 hours or less of sleep. That doesn't work! We know that sleep leads to people feeling happier, healthier and having more energy. I believe when you don't get enough sleep you're doing your body a disservice. Another common mistake that I see people making every day is not indulging in self-care which can be anything from taking a warm bath, to reading a good book to scrolling through Instagram. Any time that you take to recuperate and recover from a busy day is self-care. I want people to give themselves the space for enough energy and love to thrive.
Why are you excited to become a Healthy Bedroom Advocate?
Neuroscientist Matthew Walker put it best; he said that there is a revolutionary way to be slimmer, healthier, happier and decrease your risk of getting cancer and that's all by getting a good night's sleep. I believe that Healthy Bedroom encompasses those values and that's why I'm so excited to partner with Healthy Bedroom.
What are your favourite ways to take care of yourself?
I like going for a pedicure, grabbing a coffee, or going to a cool restaurant that just opened up in the city. Without a doubt my favourite restaurant is Corso 32; I go there almost every single birthday, they have the best, simple foods.
If you don't get enough rest how does that affect you as a professional?
As a professional chiropractor I get anywhere from 10-30 minutes to effectively take a history, evaluate a patient, to diagnosis and treat a patient and provide them with advice on what they can do at home. If I don't get a good sleep I notice that my mood, energy and my concentration all decrease. As a medical professional I have the use of my head, my heart and my hands and that is severely depleted without a good night's sleep.
How many hours do you sleep a night?
Typically 7-8. Anything less than 6, I'm in trouble.
I can't sleep without...
Silence. Darkness. and a warm bed.
My first thought when I wake up is...
How thankful I am to see another day and have slept in a beautiful, comfortable bedroom. There are a lot of people that don't have that privilege.
Live Awakened means...
To live empowered, to live your best life and to set your best foot forward each and every day.
Stay tuned for more conversations with Dr. Mecca Fayad as we look forward to sharing and learning more from her over the coming monthes. And keep your eyes open for a blog post coming soon with Mecca’s advice on how to best care for your back. | <urn:uuid:db4d7d0d-50ab-4576-ac0b-3511fa93149d> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://healthybedroom.ca/blogs/news/five-minutes-with-dr-mecca-fayad-a-healthy-bedroom-advocate | 2020-07-13T06:10:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.965627 | 976 | [

Press Release for BROOKLYN song about Hopsters & Gentrifiers
Song Writer John Munnelly Releases “Hilarious” song about Brooklyn Hipsters & Gentrifiers
By John Munnelly: July 7th, 2015
“Brooklyn” takes a jokey lyrical poke at hipster culture but in a fond electro-pop-folk way.
NEW YORK CITY
Don't say anything around a songwriter, it’s said; they will take something you say & make it into a song. Just ask Taylor Swifts exes! For local award winning social justice songwriter John Munnelly, he took a voice coming from his TV and made her the narrator of his new song.
“I was sitting there on the sofa hearing the voice of a girl with a mandolin or ukulele and I immediately heard what could be the start of her song.”The pop electronica folk song opens up with the narrator at an open mic pouring out her heart earnestly to the ‘pretty boys and tattooed girls’
Kids are having a tough time finding their place today and gravitating to Brooklyn as a place to live out their hipster longings.
With comedic wit, this song expresses some of the local pessimism about gentrifiers but counterbalances with the struggles of the newbie Brooklynite as well.
Munnelly references local places like ‘Ditmas Park’ and takes aim at some of the hipster shibboleths of fixed gear bikes, kale and artisanal beer.
In live performances John has made his audiences giggle for over a year with the tune and been encouraged to record & release the song. It has been described as ‘Hilarious’ by fans.
“Brooklyn” covers many of the real-life issues facing the new Brooklynites today, such as living as social media, asking Mom for money and rising rents.

Vietnam hasn’t always been top of my list in places to travel. I’m not sure why, as rice paper rolls have long been up there with my favourite foods, and I consider myself to be something of a pho aficionado, but up until this year, other destinations always won out.
When planning a mid-year escape for 2014, the choices were narrowed down to a varied list of Samoa, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, USA or Vietnam. Evidently we were chasing the sun, but sadly over 50% of these countries would apparently be experiencing their wet season (or some sort of civil unrest), in July, so our options were further narrowed to the USA or Vietnam. When flights almost quadrupuled overnight, America was put on the back burner for another year, and Vietnam was decided on.
After spending three weeks there, I can now understand the enthusiam I’d been met with from those who’d visited the country. The crazy, chaotic roads, seemingly ridiculous sartorial choices of locals (hoodies and gloves in 35C?), endlessly affordable food options and beautiful sights made the trip unforgettable. Here are my highlights:
As happens to most travelling in Asia, my boyfriend and I suffered from food poisoning around a week into the trip. Ironically, rather than experiencing this from street food, this occurred after eating at the top rated restaurant on Tripadvisor…
A definite highlight of our trip was the cooking class we took in Hoi An. Just about every good restaurant in Hoi An offers cooking classes, but our hotel recommended ‘Water Wheel,’ which turned out to be fantastic. Visiting the markets was both fascinating and eye opening; with my long-time employment in hospital Food Service, to say I was uneasy about the hygiene is a slight understatement! Each morning seafood, meat and fresh produce are gathered and sold in their different sections at the market, and according to our guide, nothing is left by 4pm. A real positive of the meat market is that everything is used – though I couldn’t bring myself to document it, the benches were littered with everything from pigs trotters to ducks heads! Even more unnerving is the whole workings of the meat section… ladies sit on work benches (often cross legged and shoeless) and alternate between hacking at their meat and making sales to customers, exchanging money with their (ungloved) hands – FSANZ would be appalled! As for freshness, it all couldn’t get much better. Most of the seafood was still wriggling, with unphased women casually breaking fishes necks to kill them, before hacking off their fins and scales with a sharp knife.
I felt much more comfortable amongst the fruit and vegetables, alot of which was harvested from fields surrounding Water Wheel. Our guide showed us a huge array of fruits, including the up and coming ‘superfood’ mangosteen! She had some pretty interesting stories on the health benefits of certain foods, and mentioned that eating too much fruit could result in resembling ‘a buddha’ due to their high sugar content – I wonder what books she’s been reading! | <urn:uuid:56e5ce38-294b-4ea8-8c6d-6fac2c516444> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://felicitycurtain.com/2014/07/25/i-went-to-vietnam/ | 2020-07-15T04:36:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657155816.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715035109-20200715065109-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.973135 | 654 | [

“It is the purest of human pleasures”, so Francis Bacon defines the garden and its strong importance in the daily life.
A fragile environment where people can gather together and share passions and experiences. Parks in the swedish urban culture have a strong and central position. In the city center are still used constantly by the population, but in suburban areas they are weakened by new technologies and a changement in the daily life behaviors.
The proposal for new gates of Järfälla Public Park are two monumental screens made of painted conrete blocks and simple bulb lamps.
These real architectures welcome visitors as graphical facades which are connected and alternated by the intensity of roaming fluxes: as thermometers, they react to the amount of connections increasing the luminosity and interferate on it until a temporary black out caused by an excess of devices connected and shared information to the public wifi of the park.
A lo-fi interactive device in order to sensibilize visitors on an importance issue: social relations between people strongly compromised by new technologies and social networks.

Bringing a new puppy into the household is always an exciting and fun time. Everyone wants to play with, cuddle and hold the little ball of fur. The last thing on the minds of most new puppy owners is training the new addition, but it is important that puppy training and socialization begin as early as possible.
Socializing a new puppy is a vital part of any training program, and it is important for socialization to begin early. The window for socialization is very short, and a puppy that is not properly socialized to people, dogs and other animals by the time he or she is four months old often never develops the socialization he or she needs to become a good canine citizen.
One great way to socialize your puppy both to new people and new dogs is to take it on a trip to your local pet store. Many major pet store chains, and some independent ones as well, allow pet parents to bring their furry children, and these stores can be great places for puppies to get used to new sights, sounds and smells. Of course you will want to make sure the store allows pets before heading over.
Learning how to interact with other dogs is something that normally would occur between littermates. However, since most dogs are removed from their mothers so soon, this littermate socialization often does not finish properly.
One vital lesson puppies learn from their littermates and from the mother dog is how to bite, and how not to bite. Puppies naturally roughhouse with each other, and their thick skin protects them from most bites. However, when one puppy bites to hard, the other puppies, or the mother dog, quickly reprimand him, often by holding him by the scruff of his neck until he submits.
The best way to socialize your puppy is to have it play with lots of other puppies. It is also fine for the puppy to play with a few adult dogs, as long as they are friendly and well socialized. Many communities have puppy playschool and puppy kindergarten classes. These classes can be a great way to socialize any puppy, and for handler and puppy alike to learn some basic obedience skills.
When socializing puppies, it is best to let them play on their own and work out their own issues when it comes to appropriate roughness of play. The only time the owners should step in is if one puppy is hurting another, or if a serious fight breaks out. Other than that the owners should simply stand back and watch their puppies interact.
While this socialization is taking place, the pack hierarchy should quickly become apparent. There will be some puppies who are ultra submissive, rolling on their backs and baring their throats at the slightest provocation. Other puppies in the class will be dominant, ordering the other puppies around and telling them what to do. Watching the puppies play, and determining what type of personality traits your puppy has, will be very valuable in determining the best way to proceed with more advanced training.
As the socialization process proceeds, of course, it will be necessary to introduce the puppy to all sorts of humans as well as all sorts of puppies. Fortunately, the puppy kindergarten class makes this process quite easy, since every puppy gets to interact with every human. It is important that the puppy be exposed to men, and women, old people and children, black people and white people. Dogs do not see every human as the same. To a dog, a man and a woman are completely different animals.
It is also important to introduce the puppy to a variety of other animals, especially in a multi pet household. Introducing the puppy to friendly cats is important, as are introductions to other animals the puppy may encounter, such as rabbits, guinea pigs and the like. If your household contains a more exotic creature, it is important to introduce the puppy to it as early as possible, but to do it in a way that is safe for both animals.
It is often best to start by introducing the puppy to the smell of the other animal. This can be easily accomplished by placing a piece of the animals bedding, like a towel or bed liner, near where the puppy sleeps.
