Whitaker on Absalyamova and Stiénon, eds (2018)
Absalyamova, Elina, et Valérie Stiénon, editors. Les voix du lecteur dans la presse française au XIXe siècle. PULIM, 2018, pp. 360, ISBN 978-2-842877-71-2
Jena Whitaker, Michigan State University
Technological advancements and flourishing economic growth following the July Revolution of 1830 set into motion an unprecedented expansion of the French press, a substantial diversification of journalistic forms (provincial papers, satirical papers, a working-class press, feminist journals), and also the emergence of newspaper stands, a development that was, in large part, an outcome of capitalist financing. The nineteen essays comprising this volume co-edited by Elina Absalyamova and Valérie Stiénon focus on how the increasing dissemination, diversification, and availability of magazines, periodicals, and newspapers over the course of the nineteenth century significantly altered the roles of readers, transforming passive readerly-subjects into active citizens who could participate in the struggles and conflicts of public life. Focusing its attention on readerly voices, the volume shows how different French newspapers articulated the views and opinions of the particular social groups and audiences they sought to represent. These readers could, in turn, react and express their opinions by writing and sending in articles. Due to these interactive exchanges, the editors theorize the press as a dialogical, polyphonic, and interactive space in which language acts test the boundaries between contributors, commentators, and “récepteurs.”
To make out these different readerly voices, or “dis(cerner) les voix” (15), the volume adopts four different methodological approaches. The first approach is a sociological study using archival documents to construct a profile of readerly consumers and a typology of public newspaper-reading spaces (coffee shops, book stores, intellectual circles, cénacles, theaters, cabinets de lectures), which were decisive sites for the forming of public opinion. Additional topics explored include subscriptions costs, competitions among different newspapers, disputes related to intellectual property, and the commercial power of readers. The second approach is a study of cultural history, which aims to establish, and also examine, an archeology of different media with a particular focus on the iconotext (i.e. stamps and caricatures). The third approach involves a poetic analysis of the newspaper and focuses on paratext, advertisements, and the metadiscursive status of readers. Finally, the fourth is an analysis of discourse, highlighting how the press serves as a medium of communication that preserves oral forms of exchange like poems and songs.
With five essays, the first section of the volume, “Émergence et continuité des lectorats,” draws attention to the rising visibility of new readers, including workers, women, children, foreigners, and French citizens living outside of Paris. Anaïs Goudmand’s essay, for example, shows that socialist readers inspired Eugène Sue to develop the political dimension of his roman-feuilleton Les Mystères de Paris, published in the Journal des débats (June 1842–October 1843). By creating characters who embodied “la voix du people,” Sue exposed the social and political realities of his readers, notably the living conditions of the poor. Goudmand stresses that Sue nevertheless served as a mediated representative of the voice of the people since his writing generalized and homogenized the diverse views of popular classes, thus reducing a plurality of opinions to a unified “cri.” Sue’s fiction accordingly carried out an unequal exchange between author and reader, and consequently, reinforced social hierarchies.
The articles in the second section entitled “Vedettes et lecteurs” analyze how famous journalist-authors—including Alexandre Dumas, George Sand, Alphonse Daudet, and Timothée Trimm—blurred the boundaries between fact and fiction by staging fake dialogues with invented “readers.” For instance, Nicolas Estournel’s essay illustrates that, as a means to promote and give expression to her socialist perspectives on education and the economy, Sand adopted the role of a fictitious reader writing to two newspapers that she had founded: the Révue indépendante (1841) and L'Éclaireur de l’Indre (1844). Under the pseudonym Blaise Bonnin, Sand assumed the identity of a plowman, disguising her own voice as that of a reader-writer who represented the rural community and popular opinion. In the volume’s third section, “Circulations et constructions des discours,” Stiénon’s essay eloquently explains that “[l]a signature de lecteur engendre sa propre poétique de jeux identitaires par périphrases, pseudonymes et cryptonymes qui perdent l’identification plus qu’ils ne l’assurent” (177). Furthermore, Stienon stresses that editorial boards often strategically created these signatures and voices so that they could control their newspaper’s semiotic and discursive content.
In a particularly edifying essay entitled “Les voix du lecteur de faits divers dans le journal: approche énonciative,” Laetita Gonon illustrates how the mounting attentiveness given to effect over the course of the nineteenth-century transformed passive readers into active ones, thus turning readers into objects of discourse. By carefully crafting an effect within a text, writers aimed to provoke readerly reactions. “De passif, le lecteur devient actif, est incité par le journal à collaborer à l’enquête et à son écriture, non plus seulement à son commentaire” (203). Gonon notes that the formulaic equivalence “journaliste = lecteur = policier” exemplifies the act of readerly participation and collaboration. Although several fictional works by French writers depicted this modern and active reader, Gonon duly observes that Edgar Allan Poe’s detective Auguste Dupin served as a model of the detective as reader and the reader as detective: “le lecteur à la Dupin, agent de sûreté imaginaire, véritable policier ou journaliste expert, contribue ainsi à l’écriture des faits divers, dans une mise en abyme des pratiques d’enquêtes et de lectures” (204). Using the Troppmann affair in 1869 as her prime example of a “fait divers” that led to a significant media response, Gonon emphasizes that this discursive moment largely depended on active readerly interaction and a shift in connotative function.
In addition to its essays, the collection provides a comprehensive bibliography referencing studies on the social, historical, and cultural contexts of the act of reading and the press. A table of illustrations and a thorough index of nineteenth-century French periodicals is also included, affording scholars a well-organized inventory. Taken as a whole, this volume not only illuminates the function of readerly voices in the nineteenth-century French press, but it also offers a lens through which one can compare nineteenth-century media to the rapid interconnections and global communications that have come to define collective exchange in today’s digital age. | <urn:uuid:3888a6af-a167-4dca-9acd-9372061c45f7> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.ncfs-journal.org/?q=node/1701 | 2020-07-05T20:13:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655888561.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705184325-20200705214325-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.825329 | 1,587 | [

A staunch defender of the gold standard during the election of 1896, Lyman J. Gage (1836 - 1927) was appointed Secretary of the Treasury by President William McKinley in 1897. After McKinley's assassination, he continued to serve under President Theodore Roosevelt. During the 1870's Gage had been one of the organizers of the "Honest Money League of the North West," which inaugurated a vicious campaign against the irredeemable greenbacks. His writings were widely circulated and he acquired a reputation as a sound conservative businessman. Later, as Vice-President of the First National Bank in Chicago (1891 - 1896), he made public his views that "the government must be taken out of the note-issuing business."

As Secretary of the Treasury, Gage was influential in securing passage of the Gold Standard Act of March 14, 1900, which reestablished a currency backed solely by gold. Since this limited the amount of currency in circulation, it initiated a period continuing until 1912, in which the Secretary of the Treasury was obliged to respond to the money market by introducing the Treasury surplus into circulation. The inability of the Treasury to respond to the needs of the market and the need for an "elastic" currency which would expand and contract with the needs of the Nation, led to the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 to regulate the money market. Gage resigned in 1902 to become a banker in New York.

Enable IP Blocking when downloading torrents in Transmission
Transmission has a built-in IP blocklist for what are determined to be “bad peers” and it should be enabled if you use Transmission with any sort of regularity. The blocklist helps to insure a better experience with torrents and also helps to protect your privacy.
How to enable the IP Blocklist for downloading torrents in Transmission
- Launch Transmission
- Go to Transmission Preferences
- Click on ‘Peers’
- Check the box next to “Blocklist” and again check the box next to “Automatically update weekly”
- If the blocklist doesn’t automatically update, you should click on the “Update” button as well
What exactly connotes a bad peer remains open for interpretation, but generally people who are excessive leechers, those who intentionally seed corrupt or falsely represented files, and even some P2P monitoring services are considered ‘bad peers’ to most IP block lists.
Update: Apparently this applies to older versions of Transmission, recent updates of the application require an external IP block list to be added on its own. | <urn:uuid:1b12ccce-5e88-4792-9809-a4d4d9eca1f5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://osxdaily.com/2010/11/17/enable-ip-blocking-when-downloading-torrents-in-transmission/ | 2020-07-05T20:21:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655888561.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705184325-20200705214325-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.900193 | 242 | [

It’s never great when somebody is filing for bankruptcy. Use the tips in this article that follows as a way to learn how you can avoid bankruptcy.
Be certain to gain a thorough understanding of personal bankruptcy by researching reputable sites that offer good information. Department of Justice and American Bankruptcy Attorneys provide free advice.
Always be honest and forthright when it comes to your finances.
When choosing a bankruptcy lawyer, the best way to go is off of a personal recommendation instead of simply flipping through the phone book. There are way too many people ready to take advantage of financially-strapped individuals, and it’s important to be sure your bankruptcy can go smoothly; take your time and choose someone you can trust.
The person you file for bankruptcy has to have a complete and accurate picture of your finances.
Bankruptcy filings do not necessarily have to lose your house. It depends what your home value is and if there is a second mortgage, or there is a second mortgage. You are still going to want to check into homestead exemption because it may allow you to keep your home.
Understand the differences between a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.Take the time to find out about each one online, and then figure out which one will be best for your particular situation. If you’re really not sure how this all works after your research, be sure to ask your attorney to explain anything that is unclear before you make your decision about filing.
Consider if Chapter 13 bankruptcy for your filing. If you have a regular source of income and less than $250,000 and you have consistent income, Chapter 13 may be right for you. This lasts for three to five years and after this, in which you’ll be discharged from unsecured debt.Keep in mind that even missing one payment can be enough for your case.
The process of bankruptcy is hard. Many people tend to hide away from the world until their process is completed. This is not recommended because you will only feel bad and this may cause serious problems with depression. So, it is critical that you keep spending time with the ones you love, regardless of your financial circumstances.
In order for this to be considered, your car loan must be one with high interest, have a higher interest loan for it as well as a consistent work history.
Make sure you act at the appropriate time. Timing can be critical when it comes to personal bankruptcy filings. In certain situations, you should file right away, while other situations benefit from trying to get certain finances in better shape before filing. Speak with a bankruptcy lawyer to discuss the best time for you to file bankruptcy.
It is not uncommon for bankruptcies to elicit feelings of guilt, guilty or ashamed. These feelings do not help you to make rash decisions and cause psychological problems.
Write down every debt you owe. This will be the basis for your bankruptcy filing, so make sure every debt you owe is on the list. Be 100% certain that the exact amount of each debt you owe by checking paperwork or calling your creditors. Don’t do this process too fast because these amounts won’t get discharged if the information needs to be correct for you to receive a discharge.
Debts that you leave out of your paperwork will not be addressed during the bankruptcy proceedings.
No matter how bad things are when you are filing for bankruptcy, make sure you tell the truth about your situation. Lying about debts and assets or debt is a bad idea in this situation. You can end up in jail for a while if you lie when recording your assets and debts.
Some lawyers have a phone service creditors may be referred there when they make attempts to contact you about your delinquent accounts. This can stop collectors from harassing you in the future.
But, most of the time, the automatic stay will apply for 30 days only if you have already received a prior dismissal.
Even though you may have an attorney to fill out and file paperwork, so you better stay on top of it. Remember that you are not the attorney’s only client, so keeping your details straight from others is 100% unlikely. This is why it is important to make sure that goes onto your bankruptcy paperwork.
If you will be owing taxes, don’t think that bankruptcy can be your savior. Some filers pay the taxes due with a credit card and then they file for bankruptcy. This is illegal, though, and you will be stuck with the balance owed on your card, but you’ll also have to pay the credit card bill!
Do not delay in filing for personal bankruptcy. If you have no other options, it is pointless to wait. Your financial position may deteriorate even further and more stressful situation even less tolerable. This unfortunate turn of events can affect your life.It’s better to file now rather than later.
You do not always need to give in and file bankruptcy. The guidance from this piece can serve as a road map for steering clear of bankruptcy. By using the advice you have learned here, you will find big changes in your life, and you can avoid damage to your credit score. | <urn:uuid:d2e68b37-4101-4f70-b576-0493cd9fe5c7> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://mydestinylife.org/tips-that-can-help-you-work-your-way-through-bankruptcy/ | 2020-07-08T01:31:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896169.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708000016-20200708030016-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.953772 | 1,055 | [

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have landed in New York City.
Prince William and his pregnant wife Catherine Middleton are paying a royal visit to the Big Apple and Washington D.C. for a few days.
After landing at John F. Kennedy airport in a British Airways flight on Sunday, the pair were driven to the Carlyle Hotel in the Upper East Side in a motorcade. Once they arrived at their temporary lodging, they were greeted by hundreds of screaming fans.
Although Catherine is very pregnant right now, it’s believed she will be partaking in many activities during her stay in New York City and Washington D.C.
“Her program has been put together to take account for the fact that she is five months pregnant and had an illness for the first stage of her pregnancy,” a source told UK newspaper The Telegraph.
“[But] the Duchess has told us that if she is feeling up to it she would like to join her husband at the Empire State Building on Tuesday.”
Iconic landmark the Empire State building gave the royals a warm welcome by lighting up the top of the edifice with red, white and blue, the colors of Britain’s flag.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to be meeting with President Barack Obama and his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, during their stay on America’s East Coast.
They are also expected to attend a Brooklyn Nets basketball game, where Prince William and Catherine are reportedly planning on meeting Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles.0 | <urn:uuid:63eae238-6d82-4e08-9c42-b9d4ab81bfdd> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.mytalk1071.com/british-royals-land-nyc/ | 2020-07-08T01:23:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896169.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708000016-20200708030016-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.977068 | 319 | [

171 People Have Died In Road Crashes In The Last 11 Days Over The Chinese New Year Period
In the last 11 days, a total of 171 people have died in road accidents nationwide
The number was recorded during the 11 days of Ops Selamat 16/2020, a traffic safety operation held in conjunction with the Chinese New Year (CNY) celebration.
The operation was launched on 18 January and will continue until Saturday, 1 February.
The 171 deaths were caused in 155 fatal accidents
According to a report in Bernama today, 30 January, Selangor recorded the highest number of fatalities at 29, followed by Johor with 22 fatalities, Sarawak with 18 fatalities, Pahang with 17 fatalities, and Kedah and Kelantan with 15 fatalities each.
In the report, Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) director Datuk Azisman Alias also revealed that the highest number of fatalities involved motorcyclists and pillion riders, at 112 cases.
The staggering number of road accidents was attributed to the CNY travel rush
In total, over 16,000 road crashes were recorded involving over 25,000 vehicles.
"Selangor recorded the highest number of road crashes at 4,702 cases, followed by Johor at 2,676, Kuala Lumpur at 1,834, and Perak at 1,430," Azisman said, as quoted by Bernama.
Additionally, a total of 290,000 summonses were issued during the same period | <urn:uuid:4d28daee-31a2-4e86-ab9b-f722a87959ce> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://says.com/my/news/171-people-have-died-during-the-11-days-of-ops-selamat | 2020-07-09T21:08:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655901509.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709193741-20200709223741-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.969938 | 310 | [

School Teachers Face Many Demands at Work
Teaching can be a stressful job. More than one third of teachers leave the field within the first five years according to EducationWorld.com. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports educators in high-need, poverty districts tend to leave first.
Also, teachers who have increased job opportunities through a degree that is in high demand like science or math leave in larger numbers. The reasons teachers exit the field are various and worth consideration before entering the profession.
One major cause of teachers leaving the profession is that the job is demanding. With piles of papers to grade, lessons to plan, and parents to contact, a dedicated teacher’s to do list is never complete. Teachers are also responsible for increasing amounts of paperwork. Special education documents and data driven record keeping can be time consuming tasks that are often completed outside of the typical school day. Strong organization and time management skills are required, and even the best of veteran teachers can feel overwhelmed at times.
Many young teachers also leave the profession because of lack of communication and support. Hopefully, you will be lucky and start your teaching career with a group of supportive fellow teachers and administrators. However, new teachers often feel isolated and unaware of what is expected from them. A study of North Carolina teachers who left the profession found that two-thirds of exiting teachers cited a lack of administrative support as a reason to change careers. Even though it is difficult, reaching out for help during the difficult starting phase can result in increased job satisfaction.
Teachers must be flexible to handle the inevitable obstacles that occur each day. Maybe you have a great technology lesson planned, but the computer just crashed and you need a backup plan – quick. Or you have a student experience a total breakdown right in the middle of your class lecture. Teachers must be able to handle problems and a room full of students all at one time. Problems also arise outside of the classroom setting. School bureaucracy can cause a teacher’s concerns to not be addressed in an adequate or timely manner. Also, school politics and colleagues with different teaching styles can cause tension.
One of the worst stresses in a teacher’s life is observing students who are struggling and face difficult home lives. Even as you try your best to reach out and help such students, the results are often less than desirable.
For some teachers, this reality compared to their desire to magically change the world is too large of a discrepancy.
While you will most often be treated with respect in your educator role, there are times when students and their parents will demonstrate less than desirable behavior. In such situations you must remain calm and professional. When you are trying so hard to be an excellent teacher, disrespect can be discouraging.
Teachers may also be disheartened by school funding constraints. Inadequate school funding may lead to larger class sizes, inadequate facilities, and limited supplies and resources. Fortunately, by attending school board meetings, parent teacher groups, and becoming involved with the teacher union, teachers are poised to use their talents to improve the conditions of the school and district.
Teachers do receive a steady income with continual increases, yet many teachers do leave the profession due to low salaries. | <urn:uuid:813a9ffb-2998-41b9-b456-4dc1f176be16> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.jobmonkey.com/schoolteaching/demands-teachers/ | 2020-07-09T22:03:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655901509.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709193741-20200709223741-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.966139 | 653 | [

This year's AIP conference in Staffordshire, UK, is a joint effort together with the conference of the Society for Clay Pipe Research. More about the joint conference can be read in our latest newsletter
The Society for Clay Pipe Research was founded in 1983 and is based in England but with a worldwide membership. One of the principal aims of the Society is to bring together pipe collectors, researchers and other interested individuals so that they can exchange ideas and information and further their common research interests. This exchange of news and information between researchers is principally done through the Newsletter, an A5 booklet of around 60 pages in length that the Society publishes twice a year. The Newsletter is packed full of notes and articles on pipes and related topics from around the World as well as news and information, lists of pipe makers, queries, requests for information and details of meetings and publications. The Society also circulates a list of members to facilitate contact between individuals and it holds an annual two-day conference, which is held in a different part of the United Kingdom each year. | <urn:uuid:d06f3791-42ad-4463-86e3-a39f4fb7d25d> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.pipeacademy.org/single-post/2017/07/13/AIP-featuring-The-Society-for-Clay-Pipe-Research | 2020-07-09T21:19:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655901509.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709193741-20200709223741-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.961208 | 210 | [

The great Birch Benders waffle hunt
We love waffles. And we loved the idea of delicious toaster waffles—we just couldn’t find any. So we started our search for the perfect waffle, which took us all the way to Belgium, the waffle capital of the world. There, we discovered the secrets of waffle bliss: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and totally tasty through and through, with or without syrup. We hope you love these as much as we do! | <urn:uuid:fed0d404-a411-4a03-be1e-bafc740f15ba> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://birchbenders.com/collections/toaster-waffles | 2020-07-11T14:57:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655933254.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711130351-20200711160351-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.931225 | 107 | [

McDonald's revives Dollar Menu name with $1, $2 and $3 items
The Dollar Menu is making a McComeback.
McDonald's said Monday that it is reviving the name of the once-popular value menu next month after a two-year absence, but this time the items will cost $1, $2 or $3.
Offering cheap eats has become a winning strategy for the world's largest hamburger chain, and a way to fight off other low-priced chains. In October, it attributed a rise in a key sales figure during the third quarter to its $1 sodas and a two-for-$5 promotion called McPick 2. And as more people visited its restaurants for deals, McDonald's said some also bought pricier burgers stuffed with crispy onions or guacamole, which helped sales.
McDonald's dumped the original Dollar Menu, with items costing $1, about four years ago as franchisees complained that their profits were squeezed by a rise in ingredient costs. But the move hurt sales as customers went elsewhere for low-priced fast food. In 2013, it launched the Dollar Menu & More, with items costing as much as $5, but discontinued it about two years ago and replaced it with the McPick 2.
The "$1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu" will become a permanent part of the McDonald's nationwide menu starting Jan. 4, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said. It tested other names, but customers liked the Dollar Menu one best, said Chris Kempczinski, who oversees McDonald's Corp.'s U.S. business.
"It's something that still resonates," he said.
There are a dozen items on the new menu, including a sausage burrito for a buck, a bacon McDouble for $2 and a Happy Meal for $3.

Two of the most dominant attitudes and actions in our society today are anger and hostility. We could use much more kindness and gentleness. We have a choice of which of those we want to characterize our lives. The challenge is that expressing anger and hostility seems to arise much more naturally but showing kindness and gentleness requires us to be intentional.
You may be familiar with the saying, “Leaders are born not made.” While the saying remains debatable, most will agree that there are certain core qualities, whether natural or learned, that all successful and great leaders possess. | <urn:uuid:5daf07b0-cfbe-48f7-a03c-f9479a19cab7> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.christ-centeredlifecoaching.com/2020/02/ | 2020-07-13T10:41:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657143365.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713100145-20200713130145-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.967314 | 118 | [

Teal pumpkins have been popping up during the Halloween season in recent years, yet many people don’t know what they really mean. Displaying a teal pumpkin means that your home has non-food items available for the little goblins and superheroes as they come looking for treats.
Why is this important?
Because what child likes to be left out of the fun of Trick or Treating?
When a child has severe food allergies, diabetes, or another condition that limits the types of foods he or she can eat, they are often left out of class parties and trick or treating.
What can you do to support these kids?
Show parents that you are giving kids the option of a safe treat by displaying a teal pumpkin.
There are many non-food treats that kids would love ~ stickers, pencils, glow sticks, bubbles, plastic jewelry, vampire teeth, pencil toppers, hair pieces, magic trick cards, and many more. Be sure you have some that are safe for toddlers.
Why non-food things? Can’t we just avoid nuts?
Non-food items are better than nut-free because kids have allergies to all kinds of things, and it is impossible to know in advance what all those allergies are.
When kids must limit their overall sugar intake, non-food treats rule.
What about the kids who want candy?
Just because you offer non-food items, it doesn’t mean that you can’t also give candy.
Simply let kids know you have both options and ask which they prefer. Keep two containers: one of candy and one of non-food items.
How do you get a teal pumpkin?
We put together some reusable teal pumpkins at my office several years ago. My initial plan was to spray paint some plastic pumpkins, but decided to use Duct tape to cover plastic pumpkins instead. Duct tape has less smell. We didn’t have to wait for them to dry, and if we ever want to use them outside, they will be fairly weather-proof. They’ve held up well over the years.
Pretty cute, huh?
Let people know you’re participating!
Share this idea with your neighbors and friends. Use social media. Put a note in your neighborhood bulletin. Share with your school nurse. Ask stores to display a flyer.
Kids have to know what the pumpkin means. Display signs as well as your pumpkin letting them know you have non-food options as well as candy.
Register as a site that will offer non-food items on FoodAllergy.org.
For more information and a free printable flyer (like the one pictured in our office above), ideas on what to provide, and more information in general, see The Teal Pumpkin Project. | <urn:uuid:d7a0439a-dd91-425e-a375-2d1fef258ad9> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://questforhealthkc.com/2018/10/24/teal-pumpkin-project/ | 2020-07-13T11:02:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657143365.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713100145-20200713130145-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.955917 | 581 | [

I just read a comment on social media wherein a woman expressed horror that she witnessed a man whistle at a woman, in this day and age. This interested me.
When I was young, men whistled, smiled and looked at me as I walked in the world. I felt my own power in this experience. I often enjoyed it and exchanged smiles and laughter with them. I loved to dress to look beautiful; this was pleasurable for me as well as the men who admired me.
When I became pregnant they stopped whistling and I was fascinated by this. I partly enjoyed the anonymity, and partly missed being seen. I think any heterosexual woman who denies enjoying appreciation from men is not being truthful with herself.
After having my babies and I once again walked the streets as a woman rather than a mother, men whistled at me again. Once again I enjoyed it; it made me feel beautiful and alive, and reminded me of my sexual nature and potency. At this time of my life, my life force sexual energy expanded more powerfully than ever and was a source of profound healing and delight.
I just turned 62 years of age and a few weeks ago a man called out and smiled at me as I got in my car. I loved it. I laughed back and it was a moment of lightness in my day.
I am entering a stage of life where a new kind of anonymity will be granted to me. We do not witness, much less admire elders in our modern world. We are not playful with them, and we are quick to forget the lives they have lived. However one of the blessings of emerging elder-hood is that I get to say what I think, and I care less and less whether others agree with me or not.
As I find my own way forward in the process of ageing, I will continue to delight in the moments and memories of flirtation. Sexual admiration and invitation is a way of honouring the differences, the visceral and delicious opposition of the masculine and feminine as they feel, express and dance in the world.
If women want to remove all this from this from their daily lives, I am glad I won’t be around for it, because to me the world will be losing something natural and beautiful.
And, yes, I have known abuse, unwanted attention and coercion as well. I remember walking in Italy as a young woman and having to cover my head because I was foreign and blonde and the attention I generated walking down the street was too much. And there were other, more painful experiences. I have my own history, my own dark stories.
I know imposed and aggressive sexual behaviour is real and must be addressed. But there is nuance, and a range of intention and exploration in every human exchange. I have no desire to live in a world where all this is lost to righteousness. Life is art, and we are meant to paint it with our eyes.Browse Front PageShare Your Idea

Every now and again I like to use my blog to promote other people’s stuff. I do this as I like to help other people out, draw attention to things that I like that those who make up my über tiny readership may also like (or not, as the case may be) and because I am nice like that. It also usually occurs when I haven’t really got anything else to write about.
On this occasion, I would like to use this blog to promote a rather good song by The Hoosiers, a band that if you read this regularly and/or stalk my twitter feed, you’ll know I have a bit of a fondness for. It’s called Bumpy Ride, and is available for download as of today. For 59p, you can buy the track on its own, or you can get the EP for £1.79 on iTunes, which includes alternative versions of Bumpy Ride and album track Made to Measure as well as two remixes of Unlikely Hero (the song that was originally going to be released after their comeback single Choices).
It is the first single that the band are releasing as independent artists, on their own imprint, after having been dropped from their label RCA, after the release of their second album The Illusion Of Safety. At this point, I could go on about how unfair it was that this happened to them and moan about how many major labels are more interested in making money than supporting and developing the artists they have, but I’d rather refer to this interesting article from the Guardian that you can read here.
Because I am nice, I have posted the video for the single here:
I will even give you the link to get the song (if you like it of course) here

Hi guys. 🙂
Recently, I’ve showed you a lot of Scandinavian – Swedish and Norwegian – music, often some pretty new things. Let’s stay in Scandinavia, but have something slightly more exotic today.
IsÁk is a Sami band – from Norwegian Lapland – and they combine Sami joik – Sami traditional singing technique, joik is also a name of song sung in such a style and generally this genre – with modern, kinda synth sounds. Their lyrics, so far, as they don’t have any full length album as of yet, are in English, Norwegian or Sami. The band has gained quite a lot of attention in the Sami environment and on the modern Sami music scene.
The name of the name of the band, as I assume, comes from the leader and vocalist’s surname, she is ELla Marie Hætta Isaksen.
As far as I know, they only have a few songs released until now, and I must say that I generally quite like them but I find this song the best, I feel like the rest isn’t as good as this one, even this song is for the most part in English. Though as you will be able to hear, there is also a part in Sami, and with joik too. So here it is and I hope you’ll like it too.
Hi guys! 🙂
I still haven’t written about my favourite music from Lapland, so today it will finally happen. I love Sami language and I love Sami music. The song I want to show you is an effect of colaboration between brilliant Maxida Märak – singer, actress and human rights activist from Swedish Lapland, and Dowhill Bluegrass Band, who are a Swedish band making bluegrass music. Maxida is good both at doing contemporary music as well as traditional Sami yoik. She is particularly interested in Sami people’s rights. Actually, Sami people have quite a lot of famous activists, but that’s no wonder for me, their rights definitely seem underestimated by some. “The Mountain” is actually a cover, but Maxida made it a protest song. It is a protest against exploiting Lapland’s teritory and it’s resources and against threatening the industry of reindeer herding by opening mines in the areas where these animals are grazing. It is actually surprising how Maxida – always associated with hip hop and club music and Sami yoiks – found herself in bluegrass. I am not a big fan of bluegrasss, like I have many more favourite genres, but I really like the album that is the effect of Maxida’s cooperation with Downhill BB.
Here’s the song: | <urn:uuid:42763539-13c9-43e5-8afa-e9b11e0b6340> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://myinnermishmash.wordpress.com/tag/sami-language/ | 2020-07-15T12:21:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657167808.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715101742-20200715131742-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.97621 | 590 | [

Andrew Schroeder Testimonials
"I will never be able to repay the attorneys at Katz, Marshall & Banks for everything they did for me. I was caught in a very stressful situation at work, and was suffering through long days and sleepless nights. Debbie Katz, David Marshall, and Andrew Schroeder quickly grasped the intricacies of my case and the nuances of a complicated situation, then worked tirelessly on my behalf to reach a favorable resolution that has allowed me to move forward in my career and life. Their work had a profound impact on me and my family, and we are all deeply grateful. I recommend them highly."
Former Chief Risk Officer, Large Financial Institution
“Debra Katz, David Marshall and Andrew Schroeder provided the perfect balance of professionalism and personal attention in dealing with my breach of contract dispute. As what had looked like a simple matter became increasingly convoluted, they rose to every fresh challenge with energy, careful analysis and even, when appropriate, a sense of humor. I recommend them highly.”
Former President, International Non-Governmental Organization
"I was represented by Andrew Schroeder of Katz, Marshall & Banks in an employment discrimination case. I was very pleased with the legal counsel and services provided by Andrew during this very difficult time. I found Andrew to be very compassionate and knowledgeable. He made me feel like I had a dedicated advocate who understood what I was going through. Andrew kept me in the loop during every step of the process, and we were able to negotiate a fair settlement through the process of mediation instead of my case going to court. I would highly recommend Andrew Schroeder and the Katz, Marshall & Banks legal team."

JOLIET, Ill. — When it comes to dealing with labor unions,Caterpillar has long taken a stance as tough as the bulldozers and backhoes that have burnished its global reputation. Be it two-tier wage scales or higher worker contributions for health insurance, the company has been a leader in devising new ways to cut labor costs, with other manufacturers often imitating its strategies.
Now, in what has become a test case in American labor relations, Caterpillar is trying to pioneer new territory, seeking steep concessions from its workers even when business is booming.
Despite earning a record $4.9 billion profit last year and projecting even better results for 2012, the company is insisting on a six-year wage freeze and a pension freeze for most of the 780 production workers at its factory here. Caterpillar says it needs to keep its labor costs down to ensure its future competitiveness.
The company’s stance has angered the workers, who went on strike 12 weeks ago. “Considering the offer they gave us, it’s a strike we had to have,” said Albert Williams, a 19-year Caterpillar employee, as he picketed in 99-degree heat outside the plant, which makes hydraulic parts and systems essential for much of the company’s earth-moving machinery. | <urn:uuid:138b92fc-c299-48c7-a473-555690b627fc> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://roysrants.wordpress.com/tag/earth-moving-equipment/ | 2020-07-04T10:09:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886095.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704073244-20200704103244-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.976131 | 272 | [

MADISON, Wis. — A 24-year-old Wisconsin man stepped forward Tuesday to claim a $768 million Powerball prize, the nation’s third-largest lottery jackpot, saying he “pretty much felt lucky” the day he bought his tickets and has been worried that people want to steal his ticket.
Manuel Franco, of West Allis, said he was sorting through $10 worth of quick-pick tickets after the March 27 drawing and thought he had checked all his tickets. Then he saw one last ticket stuck to another one, and recounted to reporters the feeling as he matched the first two numbers, then glanced at the Powerball to see it matched too.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
“I was going insane,” Franco said. “I looked back at the three other numbers, they all matched. My heart started racing, my blood started pumping, I felt warm. I started screaming.”
Franco declined to reveal much about himself at a news conference conducted by Wisconsin Lottery officials, smiling often but deflecting questions such as what he did for a living and what kind of car he drives. Franco did say he quit work the second day after winning, saying he just couldn’t continue. | <urn:uuid:5c7b99b3-3492-4f48-9206-1ee0802729b5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/winner-of-768-million-powerball-jackpot-coming-forward | 2020-07-06T03:20:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655890092.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706011013-20200706041013-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.98578 | 264 | [

Grand Riviera Princess Wedding. Gita & Alan
What Gita & Alan had to say about us:
Incredible service and results
"Silvina was truly amazing to work with! We have worked with professional photographers in the past and this is one of my best experiences for sure! She had a promotion going when we booked her for our August 2nd wedding that she would add an extra hour for free. An option was to do the hour on another day and one of the suggestions was a sunrise shoot. We absolutely took her up on the sunrise shoot and it was the best decision we made around our wedding. She picked us up from the resort and took us to a nearby beach as well as 5th st in Playa Del Carmen. Brought us back to the resort as well. Not only are the pictures absolutely spectacular but it gave us a chance to get to know each other which meant she knew exactly who we were and what we wanted for our actual wedding day. The other piece about that is that she actually cares about who people are because she is so passionate about what she does, she knows that those understandings and relationships will make her do her job even better. Silvina was fun and funny with loads of charisma and personality and she absolutely not afraid to work her ass off. Her work speaks for itself. Pictures and video was one of the most important things to do with our wedding and we researched a LOT. We chose her because of what her results look like. Our friends and family are blown away with our pictures not only out of love and support but how epic the shots are. It started to rain a few minutes before we were due at the ceremony spot and it delayed us by about 30 minutes. A few friends and family members came to my room and she didn't just sit there and wait, she started posing all of us and taking candid shots as well. There wasn't 5 minutes that she wasn't setting up shots and taking pictures. She's a real pro. From communication through the whole process, to her attitude and to her work. Highest recommendation ever for this incredibly talented and fun photographer!" | <urn:uuid:3ae3224d-0ed8-4b09-9727-33bdd6927f0c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.mayanrivieraphotography.com/post/grand-riviera-princess-wedding-gita-alan | 2020-07-06T01:34:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655890092.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706011013-20200706041013-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.990821 | 431 | [

A copy of Marvel Comics #1, which launched the entire Marvel brand back in August 1939, has sold for a new world record price at Heritage Auctions in Dallas.
The comic book realized an amazing price of $1.26 million, making it the most expensive Marvel comic ever sold.
The record had previously been held by a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, which first introduced Spider-Man to readers in 1962.
A high-grade copy of that book sold back in 2011 for $1.1 million, and was until now the only Marvel comic to ever pass the $1 million mark at auction.
Marvel Comics was originally a title published by Timely Comics, and its debut issue in 1939 featured superheroes such as the Human Torch and Namor the Sub-Mariner.
It wasn’t until 1961 that Timely Comics changed its name to Marvel, as it launched a new generation of characters including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Incredible Hulk.
Today Marvel is one of the world’s biggest entertainment brands, having spawned hundreds of characters and the multi-billion-dollar Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“This is a historic copy of a historic comic book,” said Ed Jaster, Senior Vice President at Heritage Auctions.
“Without question, this is the granddaddy of all Marvel Comics, without which we would not have the characters and stories we enjoy in today’s comics and feature films.”
The book was the finest-known copy in existence, graded CGC NM 9.4, and had originated from a renowned collection known as the Windy City pedigree.
The collection had been assembled by a Pennsylvania mailman, who collected the first issue of every new comic book and magazine from his local newsstand for 30 years.
It was discovered in the late 1970s by a comic book dealer in Chicago, and today comics with the Windy City pedigree remain highly sought-after by collectors due to the exceptional condition they were kept in.
Not only did the comic set a new Marvel auction record, but it also set a Heritage company record as the most valuable comic book sold in the company’s history.
And it joins a list of just three other comic book titles in the hobby to ever fetch a seven-figure sum, surpassing the top prices of both Amazing Fantasy #15 and Detective Comics #27, which featured the debut of Batman.
Only Action Comics #1, the DC book that introduced the world to Superman and gave birth to the superhero genre in 1938, has ever sold for more money.
Four copies of that landmark book have achieved higher prices than Marvel #1 – most notably back in August 2014, when a CGC 9.0-graded copy sold on eBay for $3.2 million, setting a world record for any comic book which remains to this day. | <urn:uuid:f344d13d-51b6-46fe-a60b-a8899880445b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://news.justcollecting.com/marvel-comics-1-world-record-price-heritage-auctions/ | 2020-07-08T04:10:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896374.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708031342-20200708061342-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.967585 | 592 | [

We have to admit that we have found the voices insisting that Porsche, the large hedge fund with an interest in cars, was engaging in market manipulation rather squeaky and shrill sounding. True, the news that one hedge fund manager was said to be "in tears" (we are told that the rumor it was Larry Robbins is a "vicious lie") when the squeeze hit caused much snickering around the Dealbreaker offices. Be this as it may, such calls are beginning to sound sympathetic as the process grinds ever on.
Volkswagen AG said Sunday it was indefinitely postponing talks over a planned integration with Porsche Automobil Holding SE, but the sports-car maker insisted that only the next round had been canceled.
As the power struggle between two of Germany's leading auto companies appeared to increase, Volkswagen spokesman Peik von Bestenbostel told the Associated Press that the talks had been put on hold for an undetermined period of time, and urged a more direct engagement from Porsche.
"Before we can take up talks again, it is necessary that Porsche adopts a clearly constructive attitude toward them," Mr. von Bestenbostel said.
But Porsche insisted in a statement Sunday that while a working-group meeting Monday on the fusion of the two car makers had been canceled, "The negotiations that were begun last week will continue as planned."
"German Auto Firms Dispute How Long Integration Effort Will Be on Hold"?
Please, mommy, please, make it stop.

Kurtis James releases an emotional new single, ‘I Want You To Hold Me’ The single is a little sad but extremely relatable. I love the authenticity the track has. The vocals feel like home and the guitar melodies help with that. I feel like this was hard to record but I’m glad he was able to open up. The harmonies are beautiful as well. adding that beautiful tone to the song that allows the listener to really feel his emotions. This definitely a classic country track that we all love.
Born and raised on a farm in central Minnesota, Kurtis was exposed to country music at an early age.
Kurtis moved around many times throughout his school years, attending 7 different schools.

Thanks for the helpful feedback guys. Happy to see all the familiar faces 🙂
Participant? I’m a Participant?
lol. I know eh? It’s not like I’m stoked to be a keymaster either. What am I Frodo? 🙂
I am looking into some custom ranks and a few other tweaks but we have our hands full right now so this will take a bit to reimplement.
LMAO @ Frodo. The Golden Aperture Ring to rule them all.
Take your time. Been on vacation and am slightly less crabby than usual.
old log-in working here.
Interesting. I noticed another forum changed to the same format too.
Lol at Participant. Been here since 2001!!
@renegade-hardware Ranks aren’t really important. Everyone is equal here. We want new members to feel as included as possible, so for this reason ranks were not a priority in the redesign and they likely won’t be.
I didn’t actually think they were important.
Good to hear @renegade Hardware. What’s important is that you’re here and part of the community. We’re glad to have you.
New here! With a mobile post!, I’m really looking forward to be getting involved more into the bicycle community! And getting involved into the forum! 🙂

It shouldn’t be news to anybody that disposable plastic water bottles and the water that fills them are a bane to our planet. Some 38 billion plastic water bottles end up in landfills each year, and filling a one liter bottle takes three times that amount of water to produce.
So it really ought to be a no-brainer that we should be using refillable water bottles for our own personal use. However, if you’re concerned about the quality of water you use to fill yours, perhaps it’s time to consider a personal water filter bottle – and not just any one, but one that will also help to fund the fight against the global water crisis by supporting sustainable water projects.

Currently available EV charging stations are inflexible in their power delivery to vehicles. A charging unit reserves the maximum power it can deliver and if a vehicle cannot receive the full power the extra power cannot be delivered to any other vehicle. This leads to inefficient use of power investment as well as significantly dropped customer satisfaction as drivers waiting to get to the charging point cannot get any service, even though there would be
enough power, but no charging station available.
Unified Chargers has developed and patented a flexible modular method to flexibly distribute the available power to a number of fast charging stations according to the individual vehicle capability to receive charging power. The solution contains the charging stations and their control system and logic as well as payment solution for the charging operators.
The technology has been developed over several years of research.

Tomorrow you’ll find the Holywell Community in Bailey Park in Abergavenny for the IYE Festival. IYE stands for Integrated Youth Event and it is a day for young people, organised by young people. A charity in Abergavenny called 7 Corners works with young people from varied backgrounds and they have initiated this festival tomorrow. All over Bailey Park there will be stalls advertising organisations from Monmouthshire and the work they do with and for young people. We are one of those stalls.
We are taking along some Tudor games. A part of our time in the Community is spent doing school tours and explaining to children about the Tudors, their pastimes, diet, church life etc. So we thought it would be great to take some of our favourite games along from and introduce them to the youth of today. We are also taking along a 4ft cardboard monk, some post it notes and St Mary’s pens for people to write any prayer requests on, which we will subsequently pray for at our daily offices in the coming week.
In the middle of all these stalls there is a main stage and a workshop area where young people can showcase their talent and learn something new. It’s going to be a great day and we are really looking forward to it.
Maybe we will see you there? It starts at 11am and it free entry. If you can’t make it please do pray for us, 7 Corners, all other organisations involved and those who attend. | <urn:uuid:73bca621-4cfc-49e5-b0a8-07b1e44c275e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://holywellcommunity.wordpress.com/2016/07/08/iye-festival/ | 2020-07-15T17:44:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.970362 | 309 | [

President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday in Dakar, Senegal assured the international community that the end of Boko Haram terrorists was in sight, even as he hailed the increased cooperation between Nigeria and its neighbours in the fight against terrorism.
Speaking at a Panel of Heads of State at the 3rd Dakar International Forum on Peace and Security in Africa, the President also assured the international community that the security situation in Nigeria had improved significantly.
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Garba Shehu quoted the president as saying: ‘‘About a month ago, I spoke with the President of Chad and I was pleased that a number of Chadians and Nigerians that were Boko Haram members are surrendering to him en-masse. The good news I have is that the end of the raining season has come in the North eastern region of Nigeria.
‘‘Members of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) are in their respective positions and at an agreed time they will move simultaneously and spontaneously for us to see the end of Boko Haram. We are now operating in the Sambisa Forest and as far as Boko Haram is concerned in the Lake Chad Basin area, I think they are done for.’’
Highlighting the gains of the cooperation among the Lake Chad Basin Commission countries comprising Chad, Niger, Cameroon, Benin Republic and Nigeria, the Nigerian leader told the gathering that Boko Haram is no longer holding any territory or Local Government Area (LGA) in his country.
‘‘Those who live in the North East know that Boko Haram is no longer holding a single territory in the 774 LGAs in Nigeria. But they have a system of using IEDs and they indoctrinate mostly teenage girls and send them to soft targets to churches, mosques and market places. That too is becoming very rear.
‘‘I think Boko Haram shot themselves in the foot when they gave their ideology a religious connotation by killing children in their schools, people in the mosque and churches and shouting Allahu Akbar.
‘‘This is a major contradiction as no religion advocates hurting the innocent. You can’t kill people and say Allahu Akbar. You either do not know what you are saying or you don’t believe it,’’ President Buhari said.
Noting that Nigeria is capable of surmounting its security challenges, he appealed to the international community to focus more attention on addressing piracy in the Gulf of Guinea and unemployment in Nigeria.
‘‘In the southern part of the country, stolen Nigerian crude is being illegally transported through the Gulf of Guinea and installations offshore are being subverted. We also have the problem of unemployment in Nigeria. With a population of 180 million people of which 65 per cent are under the age of 35, young Nigerians are looking for any kind of job to survive.
‘‘We are addressing the situation (unemployment) by turning to agriculture and solid minerals because we are lucky to be blessed with arable land, water and resources,’’ the president noted. | <urn:uuid:8d0dbfe3-af41-4c94-abdf-70ea90864025> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://westernpostnigeria.com/buhari-in-dakar-says-end-of-boko-haram-in-sight/ | 2020-07-15T18:46:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.967049 | 639 | [

There is a quote often attributed to French actress Catherine Deneuve, who reportedly said, “After a certain age, you have to choose between your fanny and your face.” Here’s what she meant: Many of the things you do in the name of staying in shape — counting calories, fat grams, logging hours at the gym; begin to do a number on your face as you close in on 40. You start to lose facial volume, which can cause eyes to look slightly sunken, cheeks to hollow out, and skin to lose its firmness and elasticity. Maintaining a low body mass index (BMI) exacerbates the problem because fat is the very thing that helps plump out lines and wrinkles. Dr. John Zannis is a board certified plastic surgeon in New Bern, North Carolina who says that this often repeated adage is no longer true thanks to plastic surgery.
Where on your body you tend to gain the most weight, whether it’s around the middle or more on the hips and thighs, is the result of your genes and particular physiology. However, the more weight you gain, the more you’re going to see it in your face, regardless of whether the rest of you is an apple or pear shape.
“When you lose weight, the face is often the first place that shows it,” says Dr. Zannis. “The fat pads under the eyes go first, and then you see it above the smile and down to the chin, then the cheeks. At the same time, gravity comes into play, and the elastin and collagen fibers that allow skin to stretch and spring back weaken, causing skin to sag.”
Plastic Surgery Solutions with Dermal Fillers Can:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
- Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging.
Some patients may want to consider fat injections, which uses fat harvested from the patient’s own body which can then be re-injected to enhance facial fullness, fill creases or build up shallow contours.
How fat injections are administered
Fat injection requires a more extensive procedure than “off-the-shelf” soft tissue fillers. A “donor area” must be determined (such as the abdomen or buttocks) and liposuction is used to extract the fat. The suctioned fat can then be transferred to the face, as a graft. The grafted fat then has to redevelop a blood supply in order to survive.
Areas of the Face Affected by Weight Loss
- The Eyes- After weight loss the eyes can appear sunken if the cheekbones have hollowed. If this is the case Dr. Zannis recommends injections of Restylane into the tear troughs under the eyes.
- Nose- Believe it or not, even your nose can appear slimmer after significant weight loss. If this is not a look that is desirable, Dr. Zannis can perform a non-surgical nose job using Juvederm Ultra XC to plump area where volume has been lost.
- Cheekbones- While many women are happy to have more pronounced cheekbones, for some, the weight loss can take it too far and cause loss of prominence in the cheek area. Although the “chipmunk cheek look” of too much filler is not attractive, there are subtle ways to add volume to the cheeks which include a long-lasting volumizing filler like Juvederm or Voluma.
- Chin- When some women are carrying around excess weight it can show under the chin. Losing weight can erase a double chin if one is lucky, or it can simply cause loose skin. If that is the case, Dr. Zannis uses a neck lifting procedure.
- Lips- Restylane Silk, Juvederm, or dermabrasion can be used to sand down and smooth out fine lines
- Nasolabial Folds- These are the creases that run from the nose down to the lips. With weight loss, the folds lose volume and more pronounced creases can be visible. To plump these lines Dr. Zannis uses injects of Juvederm.
The good news is, that with minimally invasive plastic surgery procedures women can keep both their face and their fanny looking youthful.

When he looked at his bench last season, Nevada’s Eric Musselman saw more questions than answers.
And while his bench in the early portion of this season is thinner than expected, he’s becoming more confident there is consistent firepower among his reserves that we haven't seen in his first three seasons with the Wolf Pack.
In No. 6-ranked Nevada's 87-59 rout of Little Rock on Friday night before 10,273 fans at Lawlor Events Center, the bench duo of Jordan Brown and Jazz Johnson helped lift the Wolf Pack to its third straight comfortable win to start the season. Brown, a McDonald’s All-American, had his first career double-double, posting 12 points and 11 rebounds and Johnson gave Nevada an early spark before finishing with 17 points and four assists. They both made 5-of-7 field-goal attempts.
“Tonight we got incredible great bench play,” Musselman said. “Jordan Brown off the bench with a double-double, and I thought Jazz Johnson continues to kind of open up the game for us with his 3-point shooting. Those two guys in particular really had a huge impact on the game for us tonight.”
They were not alone as starters Cody Martin (14 points, 10 assists) and Jordan Caroline (17 points, 12 rebounds) notched double-doubles and Caleb Martin scored a team-high 19 points. The Wolf Pack (3-0) led wire-to-wire over Little Rock (2-1) and recorded its third consecutive victory with each increasing in margin, a 16-point win over BYU followed by a 22-point win over Pacific followed by a 28-point win over Little Rock.
“We should have that kind of mentality every time we step on the court, to go out there and prove ourselves and to make a statement and to let people know who Nevada is and at the end of the day play our way and just play good basketball,” Cody Martin said. “Coach preaches that and basically just stick to our principles and not change that for anybody. A lot of that is just playing hard, playing with heart and playing unselfish and everything will take care of itself.”
Nevada trumpeted its depth entering this season but basically played just eight guys against Little Rock, with walk-on David Cunningham the ninth to see the court after grabbing two minutes at the end of the rout. Corey Henson was not at the game with what Musselman called a personal issue – “Day-to-day” – and freshmen K.J. Hymes, Vincent Lee and Jalen Townsell didn’t suit up because they’re likely to redshirt.
That left Nevada with minimal numbers on the bench but not minimal production. Brown has been a reserve since starting the exhibition opener against Washington and has posted strong back-to-back games. He was more efficient Friday night and added excellent rebounding and interior shot-blocking.
“He keeps getting better and better,” Musselman said. “The last two weeks of practice he’s stepped up. He’s pushing himself to where he was prior and his practice habits right now are phenomenal. When you come from high school and are surrounded by guys like Caroline and the Martins, Jordan has gone hard ever since he got here, but now from a physical standpoint, the weight room is really important for him, he has a high-motor and he’s practicing hard and add in fact he's more confident and physically he’s improving and it’s really benefiting him tremendously.”
A star his entire life, Brown said it’s been good coming off the bench because he can get a feel for the flow of the game. He was forced into action early Friday as starting center Trey Porter fell into quick foul trouble and lasted only 11 minutes before fouling out. There was no drop-off with Brown in the game.
“Coming into college, just seeing the flow of the game, seeing how my teammates play and how they’re out there with energy, I think just give it some time I’m going to break out of my shell,” Brown said.
Johnson also has taken to his bench role. A starter who averaged 35 minutes per game at Portland before a transfer to Nevada, the 5-foot-10 guard has become a spark plug as a Wolf Pack reserve. He’s hit double-figures in all three games this season, his 17 on Friday being a high at Nevada. Johnson has made three 3-pointers in each game and is 9-of-17 from beyond the arc, his instant offense giving the team a huge lift.
“Just 3-point shooting, energy and continually trying to get better on defense,” Johnson said of what he tries to add off the bench. “Muss stresses the ability for us to make shots and me having that ability to come off the bench and do that for us is my job basically.”
Nevada's starters helped the team grab an early double-figure advantage it never relinquished. Caroline scored 12 first-half points and Cody Martin was in control of Nevada’s offense, which shot 53.6 percent, from start to finish. Martin has hit double-figure in assists in each game this season, his transformation to the team’s full-time point guard going exceedingly well.
“He’s got the keys to the car,” Musselman said. “He calls me off on plays and he’s a next-level point guard. He’s got a great basketball IQ, he’s letting the game come to him, not forcing shots, not taking bad shots and his defense, their kid (Markquis) Nowell is pretty good and he holds him to 2-of-12 (shooting) and the kid had 34 points in his first college game. Cody had him completely frustrated.”
Noewell wasn’t the only frustrated Trojan. Little Rock shot just 34.9 percent from the field, including 8-of-30 from three. It was the third straight game the Wolf Pack held the opponent to a low percentage from beyond the arc, something it did with regularity last season as well.
“He drills it in our head,” Cody Martin said of Musselman’s insistence on being a good defensive team against the three. “He emphasizes it more than anybody in the country."
Nevada’s caps its season-opening four-game homestand Monday against Cal Baptist, a first-year Division I school that should be equally overwhelmed by the Wolf Pack, before heading to Las Vegas for two neutral-court games. That starts five straight games away from Lawlor Events Center – four being on neutral courts – before the Wolf Pack returns home Dec. 15 against South Dakota State.
“I don’t know the announced attendance tonight, but our student section is insanely good right now and everybody understands that Monday is our last game here for like a month,” Musselman said. “That’s a really long time for a team not to play at home. Anybody who likes watching us play we’d like to have them back on Monday because you won’t see us for a really, really long time.”

To set up FTP access to your websites, you have to –
1. Install your choice of an FTP Server, such as FileZilla (a popular one), on the same system that the WAMP server is on.
2. Using the FTP Server:
A) Create an FTP user account with full read and write permission granted on your website’s \webroot (DocumentRoot) folder.
B) And set that folder as the FTP user’s home-folder.
Then to take care of everything else –
1. Port-forward the FTP port in the Router to the LAN IP address of the server (if you are behind a Router).
2. Open the FTP port (for incoming connections) in Windows’ Firewall application.
The FTP port is 21.

Donald Trump absolutely lit up his own Coronavirus Task Force press briefing with a more than six-minute, tour-de-force media takedown that had CNN and MSNBC sputtering and reaching for the plug.
Trump said hello and turned the media briefing over to the NIH’s Dr. Anthony Fauci to clarify his words uttered on CNN on shutting down the country earlier to prevent more deaths.
Then, Trump took over and it was ON. He listed the timeline of his response to the coronavirus and presented a video of incorrect statements by the press on COVID-19.
It was more than the Trumpiest of Trump updates, it was a Trump-de-Force:
President Trump gives a Timeline of his Coronavirus Response: pic.twitter.com/ocOVcg4tmH
— Benny (@bennyjohnson) April 13, 2020
The video looked like a professional ad:
President Trump plays campaign-style video at press briefing defending his response to coronavirus pandemic
— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) April 13, 2020
MSNBC and CNN, which usually begin taking the updates only after Trump has spoken, stayed with for Fauci and, when Trump began bagging on the media, bugged out early:
Hilarious! CNN can dish it out but can’t take it. They just dumped out of the WH Coronavirus Task Force briefing bc the president is exposing their rank bias.
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) April 13, 2020
CNN reported that Trump was lying:
CNN's John King calls Trump's video that was just shown in the press briefing room, highlighting how the media downplayed the coronavirus and the steps he took early on in the pandemic, "propaganda": "It was cherry-picked." pic.twitter.com/vQG6bEjBFg
— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) April 13, 2020
MSNBC was left reaching for the plug.
MSNBC cuts coverage and Ari Melber says they won’t return to the press briefing until they actually start talking about the Coronavirus pic.twitter.com/zWqpFOVRtR
— Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) April 13, 2020
The cutaway did not go unnoticed:
“Trump is playing a video right now of how the media downplayed the coronavirus and how Democrat governors have praised him for working with them
CNN and MSNBC immediately cut away from the press conference because they don’t want their viewers to see what is really happening.”

But they were the only ones who didn’t like it. Most people thought it was hilarious.
Fox Business’s Charles Payne admired Trump’s moves:
“I have to admit this video of media coverage and the White Housing handling of coronavirus crisis caught me off guard. The timing, however, is perfect.
Well Played, indeed.”

And on and on it went.
Holy crap. Trump made a video of media clips destroying media narrative of Covid-19.
He is showing it LIVE at the coronavirus press conference.
This is bloody epic. The whole world just watched this.

UPDATE: After a high-wind advisory forced postponement of the first day of the AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at St. Johns River, B.A.S.S. officials announced that the Top 10 would fish a shortened competition day on Monday, Feb. 10. Launch on Monday will be at 6:45 a.m. ET from Palatka City Dock and Boat Ramp, and the weigh-in will be held at the Palatka Riverfront Park at 2:00 p.m. ET.
The full field of 88 anglers will fish Friday and Saturday. The field will be cut to the Top 40 on Sunday. On those three days, anglers will takeoff from Palatka City Dock and Boat Ramp at 7:15 a.m. ET. Weigh-ins will be held at 3:15 p.m. ET at Palatka Riverfront Park.
From Florida, the Elites head to Dayton, Tenn., for the Bassmaster Elite Series at Chickamauga Lake. Competition on Chickamauga Lake will continue as scheduled Feb. 14-17.
PALATKA, Fla. — B.A.S.S. officials made a decision to postpone the first day of competition on the St. Johns River today after the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a wind advisory making the fishery unsafe for boaters. The wind advisory is calling for winds 15-25 m.p.h. with gusts over 40.
“Safety for our anglers and Marshals is our primary concern,” said Trip Weldon, Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament Director. “We have been monitoring the weather closely, and had discussions with NWS last night and this morning to see if the weather situation would change.
“Beginning this morning and into the afternoon, the wind was just going to be too high to safely be on the water.”
Competition in the AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at St. Johns River is expected to resume Friday morning when the field of 88 anglers launches at 7:15 a.m. from Palatka Riverfront Park. | <urn:uuid:332b0bd9-ab89-43ff-8036-ffe1877e0ba0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.bassmaster.com/news/bass-cancels-day-1-st-johns-elite-event | 2020-07-04T13:15:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886121.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704104352-20200704134352-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.933856 | 439 | [

Country Kenya – Habitat of Divergent Wildlife Species
A republic in East Africa, country Kenia is located along the Indian Ocean. Bordered by Ethiopia in the north, Tanzania to the south, Sudan to the northwest, and Somalia to the north east, the country houses over 38 million people. Nairobi is the capital city of Kenia. Well known for rich wildlife reserves with thousands of animal species, the country is named after Mount Kenya, the second highest peak in Africa.
Country Kenya has all types of accommodation from luxury hotels to cheap lodging and budget hotels. One can find boutique hotel, mobile camps, resorts, bed and breakfast accommodation, and guest house, youth hostels, tented camps, and safari lodges. Most of them are affordable. However a majority of them are also self catering.
Rates fluctuate being high during the tourist seasons and low during other times. Hotel, resort and lodgings are usually equipped with a bedroom and attached bathroom, TV, telephone, air conditioner, and breakfast. Extra facilities like hotel pool and access to Internet are also available. Youth hostels are usually not available in Kenya.
Till the year 1920 Kenya was known as the British East African Protectorate. After gaining independence in 1963, Kenya became a presidential democratic republic. President is both the head of the state as well as government with a multi party system in operation. Legislative power rests with the National Assembly while the judiciary is independent of both executive and legislature. One of the prominent features of the country is its long and remarkable political stability.
Geography and Climate
World’s 47th largest country with an area of 580,367 square Kms, Kenya has both low coastal plain lands as well as high lands. Great Rift Valley bisects the highlands and these are one of the most agriculturally productive areas of the country. Climate varies largely from the tropical types along the coastal belts to arid in the interior highlands.
Country Kenya has rich wildlife resources with Masai Mara the most famous for blue wildbeest and bovids. African big five; elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, leopard, and lion are all found in Kenya. A host of reptiles and birds are also found in the national parks as well as game reserves.
People traveling to Kenya from other parts of the world except Southern Africa or Egypt will find flying in the most convenient way of reaching there. Official guide books are available in most of the airports and tourism department. Nairobi is the international airport and gateway to Kenya from external world. No restriction is there on passports are there and single entry visa are available at most of the airports.
For internal movements around the country, extensive bus services are available or one can hire cars. Bus services are safe in daytime. Hiring car would be cheaper in comparison to transporting one’s own car to the country since the shipping is very expensive.
However in comparison to bus, tram, boat, ferry, and train travels, car hiring would be fairly expensive. Air services are available to other airports in the country from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at Nairobi. Traveling in boat and dhow would be unique experiences. Dhow safaris are also available. Matau is the local favored means of transport. Train services are few and not very conducive for comfortable traveling.
Unit of currency in Kenya is the shilling (KSh) that is equal to 100 cents. Notes in circulation are the KSh 20, 50, 100, 100, 500, and 1000. For current exchange rates with Euro, USD, and other currencies one can resort of financial news in electronic and print media or the Internet.

After she and Andy Samberg brought the funny at the start of the 2019 Golden Globes, Sandra Oh held back tears as she proudly ‘witnessed’ all the diverse men and women nominated this year, calling them ‘faces of change.’
“If I could take a moment here, in all honesty,” Sandra Oh, 44, said near the end of her and Andy Samberg’s opening monologue at the start of the 76th Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 6, “I said ‘yes’ to the fear of being on this stage because I wanted to be here to look out into this audience and witness this moment of change. And I’m not fooling myself. I’m not fooling myself. Next year can be different, it probably will be, but right now, this moment is real.”
“Trust me. It is real, because I see you, and I see you. All these faces of change, and now, so will everyone else,” she said. From there, the crowd applauded, as the camera showed all the people of color – men and women – who have been nominated this year. Though next year might be another case of #OscarsSoWhite, this year, the Golden Globes’ diversity was a message of inclusion and one that Sandra did not want to miss.
Sandra wasn’t kidding when she said she had to overcome her own doubts to take the job. “My reaction was, ‘Is this a joke,’ ” Sandra told PEOPLE when she was first recruited to host the 2019 ceremony. “And then when it was not a joke, it was just this feeling of terror and thrill. There was no way I would do this without Andy. It’s really exciting.” When the pairing was announced, Meher Tatna, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s president, said that “Both Golden Globe Award recipients have continually showcased their talents in film and television, and we can’t wait see what their undeniable chemistry will bring to the Golden Globes stage.”
— izabelle (@meredithsgrwy) January 7, 2019
“We met at the Emmys, but we’re getting to know each other fast,” Andy added, referencing their hilarious pairing when presenting at the 2018 Emmy Awards. “Turns out we’re very compatible.” Hopefully, they have the same chemistry as the last pair to host the Golden Globe Awards – Tina Fey and Amy Poehler – but Sandra is not eager to compare her and Andy’s stint to the former three-time hosts.
“I am leery to put the duo-ness anywhere near Tina and Amy,” Oh says. “I think Andy and I are just going to find our way and do our own thing. Andy is so seasoned. I am not in that realm. I really just want to hang out with him … onstage … in front of millions of people!”
Hanging out and having fun seemed to be the main goal of Andy and Sandra’s hosting, as they wanted to have a blast instead of blasting people – like president Donald Trump. “I don’t think it’s shallow to 1) have fun and 2) be honestly celebratory. Just the fact that I’m fucking up there is crazy-pants in a great way. And I’m not interested in [talking about Trump] at all,” she said while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter.
“What I’m interested in is pointing to actual real change,” she added. “I want to focus on that…we also make culture. How many gazillions of people have seen Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians? That changes things. Just speaking for my own community, people cried a lot in [Crazy Rich Asians], and it’s not only because it’s a great story and a classic romantic comedy — it is because seeing yourself reflected onscreen is really emotional when you don’t even know that you’re carrying so much grief of never being seen.” | <urn:uuid:55277822-0c58-463f-8a16-68615864cb9c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://hollywoodlife.com/2019/01/06/sandra-oh-golden-globes-nominees-diversity-2019-monologue/ | 2020-07-08T11:18:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896932.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708093606-20200708123606-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.964524 | 885 | [

This Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta offers the best of fall. With crispy sage and butternut squash you can’t go wrong!
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FamilyPastaTime #CollectiveBias
If I had to pick a favorite time of the year, it would be a tough call. I love the promise of Spring, the fun of Summer and the coziness of Winter. But, if forced to select I think I would have to go with Fall. You’ve got cooler temperatures, football and of course, fall food.
From butternut squash to apples and pumpkin, I love it all. It is one of my favorite times of year to get busy in the kitchen.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy my favorite fall foods is in a pasta dish. There is something about settling in with a bowl of pasta that seems perfect this time of year.
Barilla® Gluten Free pasta has become one of my go-to brands of pasta. I have used it in today’s Gluten Free Penne Pasta with Butternut Squash, Walnuts & Parmesan.
I love that it is non-GMO and tastes like “real” pasta. It is perfect for our family since I am gluten-free, and the rest of the family isn’t. Barilla pasta offers balanced nutrition that our family needs to live a healthy and delicious lifestyle.
This Butternut Squash Pasta with Walnuts & Parmesan offers the best of fall. I love the crispy sage, crunchy walnuts and the hint of saltiness from the Parmesan. And of course, there is that delicious roasted butternut squash.
The only problem with this pasta dish is that you might not want to share.

At the opening of the of the seventh annual Northwestern University Conference on Human Rights on 21 January 2010, the Vice President of Sustainable Development for the World Bank Kathy Sierra delivered the keynote address “Empowering Hope: Cities, Slums and Human Rights”.
The three-day conference, “Urban Slums: The Shadow of the Humanitarian Generation,” brought together about 200 college students from 27 universities across the country with non-profit workers, policy makers and academics.
Sierra began her address by underscoring the vulnerability of the poor to catastrophic events. Presenting the audience with an image of Port-au-Prince after the recent earthquake, Sierra said that “we’re going to see more of that, not less.”
She reminded the audience that while there were environmental and safety concerns present in slums, there were also “hardworking and entrepreneurial” individuals living there. As an example of that spirit, she showed a video clip featuring the ingenuity of Bangkok’s urban poor in the face of hardship. The city residents created a market that unfolds over the train track when cars are not passing because no other affordable space was available for their small businesses.
Throughout the presentation, Sierra used other images and statistics to drive home the message that slum dwellers are “assets” who lack basic identity. According to Sierra, the World Bank interviewed 60,000 impoverished people to see what they wanted most. Although they desired clean water, food, electricity and other basic necessities, Sierra said the one thing they wanted more was for people to listen to them.
In conclusion, she asked the audience to “look at people as an asset, not as a problem. If you go after this as a problem, you’re not going to be contributing very much.” Jockin Arputham, President of Slum Dwellers International agreed with Sierra in a videotaped message and said, “As long as you think we are the problem, nothing will occur. We are the real change agent.” | <urn:uuid:78ab75d4-f8e5-4069-bc94-64ecb40cd3d8> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://citiesalliance.org/newsroom/news/cities-alliance-news/world-bank-vp-sustainable-development-delivers-keynote-address | 2020-07-10T06:53:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655906214.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710050953-20200710080953-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.960692 | 426 | [

I think what really gnaws at the heart of the church goer is the idea that God really doesn’t trust their intuition. That He truly would think so little of their insight that He would mandate, to the letter, every issue of faith and practice, rendering us irrelevant to the arbitration of truth. We’re not actually supposed to believe that “every good work” (2 Tim. 3:17) mean’s “every good work” are we? When professing Christians stand on the same kind of “straw man” arguments that unbelievers do our position is as absurdly untenable as theirs is, but at least we get to make decisions too.
Abortion ministries and those who minister at abortion mills are subject to some of the harshest scrutiny by the local church. Those who minister in this way have the soul crushing task of crying out to those who are entering and leaving abortion mills across this country for the gospel of Christ. We watch hundreds and thousands of mothers serve up their children to the butcher’s block. When the terms of the scrutiny are the plain teachings of Scripture, that scrutiny ought to be welcome and embraced. But there isn’t a whole lot of that going around. No, mostly it’s purely subjective views, primarily coming from people who themselves have never (and probably will never) publicly speak out against the dismemberment of human beings.
I taught a Sunday school class recently in my local church. In it I mentioned what various members of our local church do at the local “abortion mill”. A woman who I know very well and love stayed after class to tell me that perhaps referring to it as an “abortion mill” wasn’t very loving. I don’t doubt the woman’s intentions were good, and she is certainly not alone in thinking this way. Many others totally reject the use of graphic signs outside of abortion providers which accurately depict what is currently happening inside of them. Maybe their right? Perhaps we should change our approach to be less confrontational?
Theology (our belief about what the Bible teaches) has multiple sources - - Scripture, emotion, experience, etc. It’s arrogance to think otherwise, and the less aware a person is of this reality the more their theology and the subsequent practice will be colored by external influences (them) Instead of Scripture alone. For this reason, every Christian who truly seeks to know the mind of God must earnestly divorce their theology from their experience. I do not believe any person with a sin nature achieves enduring balance in this area. If we do achieve balance, it’s only for an instant as pendulum swings across center and then we must fight to bring it back. I don’t claim to be immune from these influences, but I hope to be aware of them so that they do not determine what I believe. For example, the woman who came to me to question my choice of terms (abortion mill); there is obviously some experience affecting her perspective (perhaps a personal experience with abortion in the past or a close friends experiences). Her position may well be to protect men and women within the body of Christ from greater grief by using what she views as unnecessarily harsh terminology. The emotions evoked by her life experiences formulate (to some extent or another) her views on this subject. On the other hand, many people in my position have stood on the side walk in front of abortion providers and watched as a plumber walks into the building to dislodge human remains (the parts that can’t be sold) from a garbage disposal because (due to such a high volume of abortions) the density of those remains has clogged the drain. Obviously, I am not without emotion either and any downgrade in rhetoric so as to be less offensive is very, very hard for me to accept. This woman is a faithful Christian. I truly desire to honor Christ above myself. How do we reconcile our differing views?
In Judges Chapter 19, a Levite traveling with his concubine (his legal wife) seeks lodging in the Israelite city of Gibeah (vs.14). They are denied hospitality, which is in itself a tremendous disgrace in that day and in that culture. Eventually, they were granted refuge for the night but from a foreigner to the city, an Ephriamite (vs.16). Then, the men of the city demanded to have sexual relations with the Levite (vs.22). Unwilling to hand over the Levite man to them, the Ephriamite offered them his own virgin daughter as well as the Levites concubine (vs.24). “So the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they raped her and abused her all night until morning” (vs. 25). Afterward, she managed to get as far as the doorway of the house her husband was staying in but then collapsed and eventually died (vs. 26, 28).
The Israelites had a custom that prior to and after this was only ever used on animals. In 1 Samuel 11:7, Saul “took a yoke of oxen and cut them into pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel” as a way to rally the Israelite nation to war “and they came out as one man”. This animal dissection was consistent with the Jewish custom demonstrated in Exodus 29:17 and Leviticus 1:6. But in Judges 19:29, the Levite takes his dead concubine home and “cut her in 12 pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel”. All who saw it said “Nothing like this has ever happened or been seen…Consider it, take council and speak up.” (vs. 30) And so the nation unified, rose up, and made war against the Benjamite inhabitants of Gibeah (Chapter 20).
The Levite husband took what was done in dark places rather left unknown and shone a light on them. His pain was now their pain. The revelation of his grief conceived national anguish, and national anguish gave birth to action. Did they honestly not have some inclination that a part of their own country and members of their countrymen were doing such things? Whatever they preferred to forget flooded to the forefront when they peeled back whatever covering was congealed to the human remains distributed throughout the land. That is not the head of an ox…. that is the head of woman… and the arms…and the legs! After a night and morning of rape and abuse, the sight of her body whole would have induced nausea, but when viewed as severed pieces of a grotesque, disjointed puzzle, the image it produced could not be suppressed. Why did the Levite expose the wickedness of Gibeah in such a gruesome way? Because you don’t get to live here and not look at the wickedness of your own kind. You don’t get to have a good night’s rest as your neighbor gets ripped apart from the inside and left on the doorstep like discarded human garbage. Leave slumber and sleep to the soft hearted and partake with me in horror I cannot quiet - - because the men who condone murderers are murderers! So let them see what they have become, and root out their own patch of rotten flesh!
If the Benjamites had simply handed over the men who were directly responsible, there would have been no war (Judges 20:13). Of the tribes that unified against Israel, 40,000 died in the war. In the tribe of Benjamin, over 25,000 died. All for one woman. Was she worth it? Oh yes, both she and what she represented. She alone was enough to warrant war because she bore the image of the invisible God. Her inherent value had been assigned by God when he formed her “in the womb” (Jer. 1:5). But why trade one wife for more than 65,000 men? Because as precious as those lives were, in order to preserve them it would have cost the nation its soul. Even the stain of blood and the appearance of severed limbs lose their “punch” after a while. The heart of man is so dull that what starts as stark and dire when left to tarry becomes less so, and then less so, and then less so, until you participate in the thing you once hated and become the people you abhorred. They chose to loose what they ultimately could not keep to keep what they could not afford to lose. For one person created in the image of God… for one woman.
It was sorrow that produced action and “the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation” (2 Cor. 7:10). What people want is to be healed without being forced to acknowledge they're broken. We are all broken, and we must know it or we will not seek to be healed. To my dear sisters, who sit in our churches and revisit the grief of their own abortion at every mention of it from the pulpit - - you are free because Christ has freed you. Because Christ has freed you no one can or should try to push you back from where He has brought you. Brothers and sisters, I am better than no one and worse than many. I have thought and felt things that if put on display to be seen by those I love, would almost certainly leave me with only one companion in this life, my Lord. Even my heavenly Father would not accept me if not through the murder of His Son. When I hear those things from the pulpit that have played in my mind and plagued my conscience I am wrecked. No amount of time or distance from where I’ve come will change that until I am caught up to be with Him. But God forbid my pastor take the “two edged sword” (Heb. 4:12) and dull the blade on my account. No, I pray that he speaks and those young men listen so that they will not walk where I have. The penitent heart of a Christian should never seek to stay the hand of the shepherd from restraining the other sheep so that they won’t suffer the same pain we have.
Peter called the Israelites murderers (Acts 2:23) and “they were pierced to the heart, and said…Brethren what shall we do? Peter said to them, repent” (Acts 2:37 – 38) and they did and the Jesus whom they murdered became their Savior! In Acts chapter 7, Steven calls the Jews murderers (vs. 52) and then, directly after, in one of the greatest proclamations of love recorded in Scripture says of the men that are presently murdering him “Lord do not hold this sin against them” (vs. 60). Did Steven love them? Yes, so much that he could not pander convenient lies or happy half-truths to dull what so desperately needs to be sharpened if it was to cut through the hard hearts like mine once was. If you need further evidence simply turn the page to anything Jesus ever said. Not every soft word is loving and not every hard word is hateful but in order for a hard heart to be broken, hard truths must be spoken. Why do we display sin in such a confrontational way and invoke graphic images in our words in hopes for repentance? Because every faithful prophet, priest, or preacher in Scripture did including our Lord. What feels loving is fickle and subjective. What is loving has been passed to us from the origin of love that we might simply be faithful to it.
Do you hate the pictures of the babies that are half melted by saline or that have had their arms and legs ripped off and their decapitated head crushed by forceps? Not as much as we do, I assure you. We stand for hours trying not to look directly at them, and if our gaze temporarily fixes on them trying desperately not to remember our own infant children and then thinking of them in such terms. Then we weep, sometimes in spurts, sometimes for hours, and sometimes for days. But not one of us would remove those pictures. The sight of one dismembered woman rallied a nation to justice. Yet the churches of this nation who comprise those Americans who profess Christ reject such images and so remain the lethargic lump so distant from New Testament Christianity they are unrecognizable. They have now murdered 60,000,000 babies. They kill with poison and scalpels but we kill with silence. Who is worse - - the spiritually dead who murder or those who claim to have been purchased back from death who say nothing and then rebuke those who do? | <urn:uuid:b5382c61-f4e0-4384-be9a-1518fb3898e5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.rememberministries.org/blog/are-graphic-signs-ok | 2020-07-10T07:23:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655906214.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710050953-20200710080953-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.972735 | 2,625 | [

Last month we told you about the availability of KDE 4.7 Release Candidate which had some new features such as Grub integration with KDM, improved support for KWin on Mobile and other important performance improvements. The KDE team has now announced the availability of the final version of KDE 4.7.
From the release announcement
KDE 4.7 is definitely more stable and improved over the previous versions of KDE owing to the efforts of the development team which has closed over 12,000 bug reports including over 2,000 unique bugs.
The Plasma desktop in KDE 4.7 looks very refreshing and you get to see some new and improved Oxygen Icons better consistency between panel items such as clock and notification areas. Another area where HDE 4.7 has improved a lot is the GUI support for applications that are basically meant to be run on GNOME.
More details about Plasma Workplaces: kde.org/announcements/4.7/plasma.php
Improved Multimedia Support
Lot of improvements can be seen on the multimedia end in KDE 4.7.
- The latest version of KDE's media framework - Phonon now some new features such as Zeitgeist support.
- VLC-based back-end is now very stable and becomes the default backend for various multimedia program requirements.
- Performance related improvements on the GStreamer based back-ends can also be seen.
- However, the XINE back-end has now been discontinued.
More details here: kde.org/announcements/4.7/platform.php
Apart from these there are numerous other improvements in KDE 4.7 out of which two applications drew our attention the most - digiKam and the new integrated chat. digiKam 2.0 now has face detection and recognition, image versioning, XMP metadata sidecar files support, improved tagging and marking photos, reversed geotagging and many others.
The new instant messaging system in KDE 4.7, although in its early stages, is truely awesome as it readily integrates with Plasma as the Plasma Widget and lets you add your various chat accounts like GTalk and Facebook Chat.
Download & Install KDE 4.7
It will take some time before major Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora start shipping out KDE. In the mean time you can download KDE from the official KDE download page and install it on your system. | <urn:uuid:876345c6-0ca3-47f1-9268-c5869d70fa84> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://digitizor.com/kde-47-final-edition/ | 2020-07-13T20:23:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657146845.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713194203-20200713224203-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.933665 | 493 | [

The ESL General Assembly 2015
18 February 2015
Von Krahl Theatre, 10 Rataskaevu St., Tallinn
the general assembly, the management board chaired by Urmo Vaikla presented the projects completed during 2014 and it was admitted that a number of great initiatives had been launched. The most important change for the ESL was the opening of its office at 4 Rüütli St. in the Tallinn Old Town, while the most important event for the interior architecture profession was certainly the launch and successful conduct of the international interior architecture symposium SISU at the beginning of June 2014.
According to the rules of the general assembly, the ESL’s annual report and audit report were approved, the plans for 2015 were presented, and the activity plan and budget for 2015 were approved.
As the current management board, advisory board and committees had functioned for two years, new elections were on the agenda. Urmo Vaikla put up his candidacy for the chairman of the management board, presented his plans and proposed the new management board members. Members were able to state their preferences on a pre-filled ballot; 77 members voted in the elections of 2015.
New members of the ESL were introduced while the votes were being counted. It was a pleasure to see that interest in ESL membership had grown and six young and active people joined the ESL last year: Ahti Grünberg, Tõnis Kalve, Ines Haak, Margit Teikari, Inara Tougjasa and Tuuli Trei. The ESL currently has 185 members.
Rules for granting the status of a supporting member of the ESL were drafted last year. With the status of a supporting member, the ESL wishes to value even more the contribution of its current partners and to encourage new partners to cooperate actively toward common goals. Supporting members have more chances to participate in the planning of the ESL and be well-informed of the activities of the ESL. The status of a supporting member is granted by a contract for one calendar year.
The formal part of the general assembly was followed by active socialising and a possibility to take a pictures together with good colleagues and friends. Photo memories of the general assembly on the ESL Facebook page. | <urn:uuid:4057a675-5331-4ada-9d4e-219e5f79daa6> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.esl.ee/en/events/the-esl-general-assembly-2015/ | 2020-07-13T22:17:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657146845.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713194203-20200713224203-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.980395 | 458 | [

It’s such a frustration when home water heaters die and need to be replaced. It never seems to happen at a convenient time. But when it happens, it’s a good time to update to more efficient machines.
There are five types of water heaters. There are storage tank, tankless, solar heated, geothermal, and heat pump heaters. Storage heaters come as gas water heaters and electric water heaters. They are the traditional home purchaser. Relatively new to the scene are tankless water heaters which are reported to help customers save on energy costs.
Electric water heaters use a heating element to heat hot water. Gas water heaters use a gas-fired element. Both use storage tanks to hold water until hot water is needed then pumps it to the needed location. The tank takes in cold water at the bottom and releases hot water through the topwhen needed. These types of water heaters maintain hot water at a constant temperature.
Heat pump water heaters also have a storage tank. However, it pulls in heat from air around it and dumps it intothe storage tank to heat the water. This is much like how a refrigerator pulls heat from inside it and dumps the air outside. Geothermal heat pump water heaters works in a similar way. It pulls heat from the ground during cold months and from inside air in the warm months.
The next type of water heaters are tankless water heaters. Here, the water is heated only when needed. When the hot water is turned on, tankless water heaters heat water coming into its system, and then sends it to where it’s needed. These on-demand heaters come in electric-fired and gas-fired versions.
The last type of water heater is also a storage tank system. It’s the solar-powered water heater. Here, water pumps through solar collectors to heat water then it’s pumped through the house to where it’s needed, and then held in a storage tank.
So, how do you decide on what’s best for your home? Each has its benefits and drawbacks. With concerns for energy savings, fuel types, efficiency, and the environment, there’s more to think about than the types mentioned above.
Consumer Research, consumerresearch.com, recommends these guidelines First, decide what’s the most important feature you want in your water heater. Is it economics or the environment? Is it efficiency or fuel type? Most consumers consider utility bills as a major factor, then other factors second. Installation costs are dependent upon where you live. Involving a reliable plumber may be useful in determining the best prices.
Once you decide what’s most important, consider fuel type followed by the first hour rate (FHR). FHR is the number of gallons of hot water a system can produce in an hour. This is an important factor particularly if you have a large family. FHR is shown on all heater types.
The next factor to consider is the energy factor (EF). This federal number measures how efficiently a heater can turn energy into hot water. The number goes from .5 to 2.4. The higher the rating, the more efficient the heater and goes to utility bill savings.
Highlights of the water heater types are:
Most Energy efficient: Solar water heater
Most Economical: Electric water heater
Highest Energy Credit: Heat pump water heater
Longest Lasting: Tankless water heater
It’s surprising to note that gas water heaters weren’t notable. Although they cost a little more than electric water heaters, their operating costs are less in some areas of the country. With concerns about the environment, keep in mind that solar water heaters have the smallest carbon footprint. It’s also one of the most expensive to install in terms of costs. But this can be offset with federal energy credits.
The choices in water heaters are more plentiful than in years past. They are more efficient, more environmentally friendly, and more economical to operate. | <urn:uuid:8188f722-b71f-4728-9381-4bb30df5a300> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.smartguy.com/article/water-heaters-basics | 2020-07-13T20:31:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657146845.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713194203-20200713224203-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.937659 | 840 | [

“Q&A” may be the quietest Homeland episode yet, but it packed a powerful emotional punch. I’ll admit, my attention span is not what it used to be, but for the full hour of “Q&A” I was riveted, unable to look away, and not once tempted to cast a stray eye to my nearby phone. If Claire Danes‘ acting tour de force this season so far was in “State of Independence,” Damien Lewis certainly came close to matching it in “Q&A.” Brody’s spectrum of emotions as he went from standing firm, to being incredibly frightened (but still lying) and finally to the immense relief of telling the truth was captivating stuff. It was calm (for the most part, minus Peter’s Bad Cop routine, which was brilliant — he really is a great interrogator), but there were turgid rivers of emotion underneath everyone’s skin, and moving forward, things will only get more complicated. For more on that and why you are drowning in lies! … hit the jump.
Things went more or less as predicted, with Brody being released back into the wild now working for the CIA in attempting to uncover Abu Nazir’s next plot against the U.S. I sincerely doubt that Brody would turn his back on America again — Carrie’s speech was so perfectly stated, and she spoke to such truths that Brody did honestly seem to believe and take to heart about how Nazir had manipulated him and his emotions. As Dana echoed later to Jess, “they did something to Dad over there. He’s not the same.” Brody seemed to finally acknowledge that he has been little more than a pawn in both Walden and Nazir’s international games.
What made Carrie’s interrogation of Brody all the stranger / more intense was her heartfelt expression of love towards him, not seeming to really care if he openly returned it because she feels certain that what they had (or still have) is unique and beyond just “playing” one another. The rollercoaster of their emotions towards one another is more engaging and more believable than anything Brody and Jess have been through together (I don’t know who exactly to blame for this, if anyone — Brody just seems much more wooden around Jess and vice versa than with anyone else, but that can reasonably be explained by his change since coming home I suppose). The intertwined nature of Carrie and Brody, from Day One, has been the crux of the show, and Brody telling Jess that they would be ok and later holding Carrie’s hand in the car were all part of that complicated dance. Carrie means something very special to Brody, but his family still means more to him than anything.
At the end of last season I thought that Carrie’s ECT erasing her memory about Brody saying Issa’s name in his sleep would be significant, but it turns out that plot point didn’t matter in the end thanks to the uncovering of the video. And for all of our exclamations about the video being found, Brody was right in saying that they only had circumstantial evidence. For a moment I thought that the CIA’s case could conceivably fall apart. It was a relief though to viewers as well as Brody to have him finally come clean and start working for the other side. He may not agree with everything either side is doing, but he’s been forced to choose. It was a great close to Brody’s saga (Part Two of his Life as a Terrorist, anyway), and a great moment to see the cork board replaced with pictures of Roya Hammad and the new targets that Brody will help them take down.
Of course, nothing is ever simple, and lest we forget, last week Lauter and Mike were starting their own investigation about What Really Happened with Tom Walker and Elizabeth Gaines. Plus, despite Carrie’s assurances, there will surely come a point where Brody becomes paranoid that Nazir is on to his treachery. At least now he has a better cover than his other lies (and the man does lie well). In fact, I’ve thought for awhile that he could have (and should have) used the CIA as cover for his dealings, because it would have made sense and Jess would have had no way of getting it confirmed since she’s not supposed to know in the first place.
In any case, she knows now, and the Brody household is unified once again with Chris able to breathe easy (there’s always one forgotten child in dramas like this, and it’s you, Chris!) though Dana now has a few secrets of her own. We didn’t see Dana break up with Xander, but we didn’t need to — bye bye, poor stoner boyfriend and hellooooo Vice President’s son! In an exceptionally self-assured manner, Dana conveys her new relationship status to Finn and then asks if he would like to take her out — nice move, girl. But later, in one of the more completely bizarre moments of the series, Finn acts just like any other petulant bratty teen and tries to evade the Secret Service for kicks, maiming and possibly killing a woman in the process. Dana is rightfully shaken, but the two seem to get away with things (I doubt that will last). I can’t say I am much inclined towards this turn of events or the way they played out, but I’m willing to see where it goes before side-eyeing it too harshly.
Big, big setup of an episode, huge turn in trajectory for the remainder of the season, Damian Lewis for all the awards, thank you and goodnight!
Episode Rating: A-
— Quite a few of you guys mentioned last week in the comments that Dana reminds you a lot of Angela (Claire Danes) from My So Called Life and I 100% agree.
— Do you know anybody who dates someone known by a last name and still calls them that after they’re in a relationship? What about after marriage? It’s just hard to think of Jess never calling Brody “Nick.” Friends of mine who ending up dating people known for a last name invariably switch to calling them their actual first name. I dunno. Strange.
— I really loved Jess showing up with a Tupperware container of soup. Cute. Morena Baccarin is the hottest mom ever, by the way, though I have trouble believing she is the mom of a 16 year old, but that’s TV for ya (where parents are 10 years older than their kids).
— “When is the last time you told the truth?” – Carrie to a beleaguered Brody.
— Useless fact, Damian Lewis is married to the actress who played Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.
— How was the war, Carrie? “Well my interpreter was burned alive and hung from a bridge, so …!” | <urn:uuid:be89eaef-33cb-44d2-bfad-2e3bfbfa0afb> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://collider.com/homeland-season-2-episode-5/ | 2020-07-16T17:35:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657172545.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716153247-20200716183247-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.979858 | 1,499 | [

A few months after their feminist-y collection of stock photos organized in tandem with the Lean In Foundation launched, Getty says that the photos are selling well.
At The Atlantic and the Aspen Institute's New York Ideas Conference, at least one new idea proved fruitful. Pam Grossman, who's heading up the Lean In Collection, said in a panel discussion called "Changing the Stock Image of Women" that sales of images in the collection that were not new to Getty have risen 31 percent from last year, indicating that people are specifically going into that grouping of photos for images.
"We have a lot of content in there of business meetings, and it seems a little bit obvious, but the images where the woman is the one in the leadership position, the one at the head of the table, the one speaking, and the men look a little more collaborative or ancillary, those are performing really well," Grossman said, reported BuzzFeed. Right on.

Bad Faith Insurance Attorneys in Dallas & Houston, TX
An insurance company has a duty to conduct a reasonable investigation of the claim and promptly pay a claim that is owed. An insurance company commits bad faith when it fails to reasonably investigate a claim or fails pay a claim when it is reasonably clear the claim is owed.
It is improper for an insurance company to fail to conduct a reasonable investigation to be able to claim it was never clear the claim was owed. Certain unreasonable conduct by an insurance company in connection with a claim may generally constitute a State insurance code violations as well as violations of State Consumer or Deceptive Trade Practices Act statutes. Such conduct may expose the insurance company to an additional damage claim by the policyholder.
My wife and I thought we were heading into a complicated legal odyssey with a destroyed commercial property until we hired Bill Kendall. His sustained focus and hard work was so effective that we had a great settlement within hours of the first deposition.F. Jones - Multi-Family Property Claim (Dallas, TX)
Our large hotel was severely damaged by hail. After significant delays by the insurance company, our claim was denied. We hired Bill Kendall and Grisham & Kendall soon after. Through Bill’s efforts during our lawsuit, we were able to reach a favorable settlement close to trial. We would certainly recommend Grisham & Kendall, PLLC to any property owner whose insurance company isn’t treating them fairly.D. Patel - Hotel Hail Claim
Insurance Bad Faith and Delayed Claims Handling
Many insurance companies deny or delay legitimate claims. Insurance companies and adjusters make claim denial or delay part of their normal operating practice. They make promises in their familiar advertising slogans to get your business, however frequently take steps during the claims process to minimize payout. Some insurance companies hire engineers, consultants and other “preferred” contractors they routinely use which are biased toward protecting the insurance company’s interest as well as their continued business obtained from the insurance adjuster.

Protecting Against Insurance Bad Faith
When homeowners purchase property insurance and make their monthly payments, they expect their insurance companies to uphold their part of the contract and pay on rightful claims. Unfortunately, though, many insurance companies act in bad faith and either refuse to pay or greatly underpay on claims. Insurance companies are required to act responsibly in responding to claims, but if they don’t, you may be able to take legal action.
If your insurance company is acting in bad faith and failing to pay on your claim, you can fight back. At Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, a Houston & Dallas insurance bad faith lawyer can help you get the financial benefits you deserve on your claim. To learn more about how we can help you, contact us today at (713) 999-5085 and schedule a consultation to discuss your legal options.
Insurance Code Violations
Insurance companies have a responsibility to act in good faith toward their policyholders when dealing with granting, denying, and responding to insurance claims. Individuals and even businesses purchase insurance policies and pay monthly premiums, fully expecting to receive benefits if needed. Insurance companies are required to respond to claims promptly and also must provide written notification explaining why a claim has been reduced or denied.
When companies fail to comply with the Texas Insurance Code, they are denying you benefits you are owed on your policy. Do not suffer any longer from bad faith insurance practices. The Dallas bad faith insurance attorneys of Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, can fight to get you the benefits you need. Call us today at (713) 999-5085 and schedule a consultation with a qualified attorney.
Common Insurance Code Violations
Even though insurance companies claim they exist to serve their customers, they are trying to sustain a profit like any other business. They are happy to take your monthly payments, but some companies may be stingy or hard to work with if you have to file a claim. Insurance companies can act in bad faith by:
- Refusing to honor claims
- Not investigating a claim adequately
- Putting off investigation of a claim
- Denying life insurance
- Denying disability insurance benefits
- Refusing to pay damages
- Attempting to avoid speaking with policy holder
- Failing to disclose important facts
In some cases, if an insurance company wrongfully denies your claim or delays the payment you deserve, you may be entitled to financial recompense for your suffering in addition to the insurance payout itself.
If you’ve been mistreated by a policy provider, you could be able to hold that insurer responsible for their actions and obtain financial compensation for the trouble you’ve had to endure. To learn more about what to expect when filing an insurance bad faith lawsuit, speak with a Texas bad faith insurance attorney from Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, by calling (713) 999-5085 today.
Areas We Serve Bad Faith Insurance Claims
Plano, Richardson, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and other cities in Texas.
Insurance Bad Faith and Your Rights
Homeowners and business owners pay monthly insurance policy premiums to provide financial protection in case of a natural event, flooding, theft, vandalism, or other property damage. When your property is damaged, you often expect to receive payment to help you recover your losses. After years of paying premiums to your insurer, it is only fair that they compensate you as outlined in the terms of your policy.
Unfortunately, sometimes insurers attempt to avoid paying on valid insurance claims filed by their policyholders. When they do so, they may be held legally accountable for acting in “bad faith”.
What is Bad Faith?
An insurance company can be found liable for bad faith when it purposely avoids paying on a valid claim. Denying, delaying, or underpaying a claim all qualify as acts of bad faith. Bad faith considered to be fraud, and insurance companies who intentionally deceive their policyholders can be sued to recover payment for losses caused by a company’s bad faith.
Your Right to Legal Action
When a company acts deceitfully and causes harm, those who are affected have the right to take legal action to recover compensation for their costs. If you believe that your insurer has acted in bad faith, don’t hesitate to consult with an experienced Dallas insurance bad faith lawyer as soon as possible. We can help you initiate your case against your insurer and will pursue a beneficial resolution either in or out of the courtroom.
To discuss your bad faith insurance claim with a trusted Dallas insurance lawyer, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (713) 999-5085.
Conduct That May Indicate Bad Faith Practices
People buy insurance in order to protect themselves against the cost of unpredictable disasters. Whether it is a storm that devastates a home or a car accident that causes injuries and damages a car, insurance is a way to plan for the unexpected. That is why it is so important for insurance companies to fulfill their end of the deal when a customer’s property is damaged. Unfortunately, many companies may be guilty of bad faith practices which attempt to cheat customers out of the financial assistance they need.
If you have suffered a sudden disaster and your insurance company is acting in bad faith, you may need the representation of a skilled Dallas insurance attorney. Contact Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, today at (713) 999-5085 to speak with an attorney about your case and begin working towards getting the payment you are due.
Signs of Bad Faith Conduct
If you are dealing with an insurance company that is being uncooperative with your claim, they may be acting in bad faith. The following are some of the most common ways an insurance company can act in bad faith:
- Misinterpreting policy language
- Deliberate misrepresentation of the facts
- Delaying response to a claim without explanation
- Using an extreme standard for measuring damages
- Using coercion or abusive tactics to make you settle a claim
- Not investigating a claim thoroughly
This is by no means a comprehensive list of the types of tactics an insurance company may use. If you suspect you are being treated in bad faith by your insurance company, legal action may be the next recourse.
At Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, we understand how important it is to obtain the coverage your insurance company owes you after a disaster. If your insurance company has attempted to deny or underpay your claim, contact one of our tenacious Dallas bad faith insurance lawyers today at (713) 999-5085.
Insurance Bad Faith regarding Policy Terms and Language
Insurance companies have a responsibility to their policyholders to present their policy contracts in clear terms that don’t use intentional misrepresentation. However, some insurance companies commit what is known as insurance bad faith by intentionally failing to do this. In an effort to cheat their customers out of money or avoid paying claims, they may use the language in their policy to confuse customers and re-interpret the terms of the policy when it suits the company best. When such acts of insurance bad faith are used against a policyholder in Dallas, the team at Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, understands how frustrating this can be and may be able to help.
Confusing Language and Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance companies can’t use flexible language or re-interpretations of contact terms to unreasonably deny policyholders their right to file a claim under that policy. In fact, an insurance company may be guilty of committing insurance bad faith if they do the following:
- Writing contracts with standardized language, also known as boilerplate terminology, but interpreting these common phrases differently within the company
- Writing policies with intentionally confusing terminology or phrasing, and failing to clearly or accurately explain how the policy works when a policyholder asks
- Writing policies with unusual phrasing that may be vague and easily interpreted in various ways
If a policyholder is mistreated by their insurance policy provider in this way, they may be eligible to file an insurance bad faith claim for the extent of their financial damages.

A circular economy is not exactly what you might think it is. It has little to do with making a product, sending the product overseas, and importing a different product in exchange for the product you export. Instead, it has everything to do with a linear model of reduce, reusue, recycle and how products are made, used, and recycled. Circular economy examples can help better define this economic process for you with easy-to-understand references.

Fresh from racking up more than 42 million streams and over 14 million YouTube views, rising star and pop powerhouse Alice Chater returns with the beautiful ‘Two Of Us’.
Produced by MYKL (Zayn Malik’s ‘Pillow Talk’, Rita Ora, Mabel), the track is a deeply personal, simple and elegant ballad, wrought with emotion and Alice’s breathtaking vocals.
“‘Two of Us’ is a reality check about a relationship that’s at breaking point. You love the person and they love you too, but you find yourselves falling deeper into a toxic environment that you can no longer pretend is ok. This is that ‘last chance to save the relationship’ song.
It’s super personal and was difficult to sing due to the emotions I felt at the time, but I’m really excited to share it with the world.”
Alice has to date released a slew of unstoppable songs including the Human League-sampling ‘Hourglass’ (2 million YouTube views), ‘Tonight’ and shimmering electro gem ‘Heartbreak Hotel’. Radio support has come from Track of the Week and Best New Pop on Radio 1, BBC Introducing Kent and Kiss.
She has been wowing pop fans across the UK with full-throttle performances including the Mighty Hoopla festival, Celine Dion’s huge Hyde Park show and Brighton Pride alongside Kylie Minogue. In September last year Alice set out on her first UK headline tour, which included her second sold out London show.
The end of 2019 saw Alice collaborate with Iggy Izalea on ‘Lola’, a track that has had 30 million streams, 26 million views on YouTube and 21,000 videos made on TikTok, with the pair performing live at the International Music Awards. Alice also collaborated with Professor Green on ‘Got It All’, a song that hit No.2 on UK iTunes, trended at No.6 on YouTube and was added to Hot Hits UK on Spotify.
Stand by for more glorious pop from Alice, as she has spent the last 6 months working on new material that will be released throughout the Summer of 2020.

Well, as the polar vortex envelopes much of the world in burgeoning gusts of blistering cold, the wonderful world of resort is upon us. As in the fashions are making their way to the racks as we speak. The brilliance of these collections is the inclusion of an eclectic panoply of looks that will take one to a beach resort, a pumpkin patch as the leaves fall, an opening or red carpet event, or a festive holiday affair. In essence, a wide array of choices to keep one covered and chic for any occasion, whether for day frolicking, evening drama, or sojourns to parts unknown....Let the resort games begin!
One of my favorite entries in the boho chic pageant. A wise choice for a beachy resort vacation, lightweight and packable for carry on purposes. And when the chill sets in, wear with boots and one of these soft and romantic sweaters by Michael Kors. The big sweater is another ubiquitous friend on the runways these days. And who amongst us doesn't have a few of these babies shoved into a drawer somewhere?
Another wonderful entry from Michael Kors. More of the boho contingent for those gals enamored of macrame, but well done in an easy flattering silhouette and lovely lavender color. Park Avenue hippy.
FLOWER POWER Italian style. Wear these under a down puffer during the middle of winter to stave off the doldrums..........(just don't foresake the silken long johns).
My new favorite designer, supremely gifted with collections exhibiting perpetual joie de vivre and youthful exuberance. How could you not be filled with joy wearing these creations?
She never disappoints, with a host of wearable opulent pieces for any special occasion. With winter comes endless cocktail parties and assorted events that require gowns and such. The great thing about this duo is that after the parties and openings have come and gone, wear this gorgeous top as a vest over the blouse or white shirt of your choosing, with jeans, leggings, slacks. Recycle, its good for your pocketbook!
Space age cocktail fare, cool and lux, but also easy. Turn the dress into a tunic as needed. Throw over Brunello Cucinelli leather leggings.
Who else? If in doubt what in the world to wear over harem pants, look no further! Sell the private jet and you too can adorn yourself with opulence that only Lagerfeld can provide. Paillette drought in Paris? Mystery solved......sigh.
ALL SEQUINS ALL THE TIME is my motto. Why not? To brighten any outfit. Wear over jeans and a white T shirt. OR, over the ballgown du jour.
OSCAR DE LA RENTA
What he did best, concocting the ball gown of ball gowns, transforming the wearer into a latter day Cinderella after the birds and talking mice got on board.....
For the flapper in us all, easy lux harkening back to Carole Lombard and Jean Harlow, true screen sirens who were smart, sassy, sexy, and had moxie to spare! A fabulous New Year's Eve frock. Wear with red velvet flats.
Perfect party dress from the man who champions bold prints and C O L O R! Throw on a cashmere shrug for shoulder coverage. Wear with crazy Louboutins.
For the cool hip chick who doesn't need a firestorm of embellishments to be the belle of the ball. Classic Chloe.
A line denim dress (or tunic) with macrame lace and bold crystal detailing around the collar, perfect amalgamation of casual and lux. Now THIS is the kind of denim appropriate for the Opera. Change the tone of the outfit with the shoes.
The master of the embellished frock, a maker of timeless flattering beauties, which will turn your closet into a veritable treasure chest. These are pieces you'll cherish forever, which will elevate any outfit above the usual.
After the little black dress and the trench coat, the next staple piece is a tuxedo jacket. Black is always a safe and pragmatic choice, but if you like color and appreciate whimsy, why not this version? (Skip the pants, sometimes too much of a good thing is, well, too much). Wear over leather leggings and patent leather stillettos. OR Tom Ford tuxedo pants.
Alluring armour, vintage Balmain. For the gal with gams and grit. Go with the obvious choice for footwear, Gladiator sandals.
As an interesting contrast to the look above, off white lace over-alls, because who says you can't be chic when working the Dairy farm? (Or, just pick up that must have blouse with the nudibranch ruffles).
The love fest with the 70's continues, leather mini and grommets.......
The newest American sportswear master, with just a hint of a 70's vibe with wearable well made separates you can mix and match with pretty much anything dwelling in your closets. (You will never regret having the all purpose versatile jacket which can be thrown over slacks, jeans, leggings, or a pencil skirt).
A cool take on the usual, with the big buttons and the BIG pockets. Perfect for traveling, throw your smartphone, camera and a few flash cards in those capacious pockets. Perfect over jeans in the fall. Spice it up with a sequin festooned Loro Piano cashmere scarf in a jewel tone. Love that belt.
A fresh take on the trench, bigger on the runways these days than the big sweater. A variant such as this is more versatile than the iconic Burberry version as it can go casual or more upscale. Throw over a charmeuse Lanvin dress for an evening out.
HOW COULD WE CALL THIS RESORT WITHOUT THE FLORAL CONTINGENT?
Sooooo covetable, multicolored guipure lace fabrication, not something you find everyday. A mini can always morph into a tunic as needed.
Another stunner by Raf Simons, a casual silhouette made extravagant by the pattern, embellishments, and embroidery.
Sweet, easy, and whimsical. Perfect warm weather frock.
Really feminine but not too girly silhouette with just enough skin showing to be alluring but not tawdry, with a surreal pattern on cloque. Scrumptious. Wear with flats or boots. For purposes of modesty, thrown on over a silk blouse.
Modern take on the A line skirt, with that great belt for added pizzaz! (A similar variant is seen in the Louis Vuitton fall winter for any interested parties). Would be smashing with a T shirt and riding boots.
Low key yet lux chiffon entry which would seque seamlessly from the office to evening festivities. Pair with that Erdem trench!
If in doubt about what to wear when, look no further than the most recent collection of Rucci. If you want pared down spartan with impeccable craftsmanship or a showstopper for an evening affair, you will not be disappointed. Exhibit B below.
Another version of the little black dress (a seamless blend of top and skirt), with just enough flash for a fancy event, but not so constrained in form or fussy in fabrication that you couldn't wear this beauty out to brunch or wherever. For a casual vibe, pair with riding boots and a cropped sweater. Versatility=pragmatic.
A non fussy elegant tunic which looks smashing over the palazzos, but would be at home over capris, leggings, a bathing suit, OR a long event gown.....Glam up with long strands of pearls and such.
A stunning array of suits in cloque fabrication and wondrous color pallettes to brighten up your day to day activities and work place.
The master of construction strikes again with a seafoam delight, taffeta to infinity, a fabulous option for the SF Ballet opening in January. This definitely calls for opulent jewel regalia.
A stunning piece of finery from a stellar collection to d i e for. Diaphanous chiffon, with our fine feathered friends and ruffles. And talk about covering MUCH territory in one collection, many themes were included in this wondrous display, preparing one for a safari or a wedding.
H U Z Z A H!
If the perfect pastel shearling has eluded you, fear not, here are two chic casual options to stave off hypothermia through fall and winter, or "summer" in San Francisco.
Remember Resort, not just a flighty interlude between fall winter and spring!

We’ve been fans of New Jersey’s finest since even before their first album came out back in 1994, so let’s just say we’re used to sitting around waiting for them to take their sweet-ass time putting out new music. (Three albums in more than 14 years makes the Wrens about as prolific as Boston, which is kind of like being as tall as Billy Barty.) As reported in a Wrens Watch Special Report, January 9 marked a huge milestone for the guys: guitarists Charles Bissell and Greg Whelan, bassist Kevin Whelan and drummer Jerry MacDonald. They issued “Pulled Fences,” their first new (well, sort of new) song since 2003’s The Meadowlands. Perhaps motivated by finally releasing something, the band convened—not in a real studio, but in Kevin’s basement—five weeks ago to begin work on its new album. And not only that, the Wrens recorded an actual song (which you can download for free here). When we checked in with Bissell two weeks ago, he took exception with our good-natured sarcasm and quickly ended the interview. Last week, we were anxious to discuss the recording progress the band had made, as well as its new YouTube channel and March 13 show at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom. But despite repeated calls, emails and texts, Bissell never got back to us. We thought that he was still pissed at us or that the Wrens were actually hard at work. Turns out that it was neither.
:: Wrens Watch, Feb. 23, 2009
Thanks for finally getting back to us. So have you guys been recording?
We’ve only gotten together twice since we recorded that song you all put up on your site: once without me and once with the four of us, but we just ran over a bunch of Kev’s songs rather than try to record anything. We were supposed to get together again, but one of Jerry’s kids was sick, so he wasn’t able to come and we cancelled practice.
Of course. Has the band been doing anything else?
Well, we had conference calls.
Conference calls for what?
To go over crap since we never see each other.
Jesus Christ. Your band communicates via conference calls?
If we rehearsed or recorded as often as we conference called, we’d make Bob Pollard look like he has writer’s block.
Yes. I’m finally, after about five years, assembling all my pedals. I know that doesn’t sound like much more than a chore, but for me, that was the thing I saved for last, kind of as a reward.

We’ve made some progress on our investigations of the Holmes family – and it turns out that the Ellis we found on Anglesey was a complete red herring!
Searching through the 1861 Census the family have turned up living in Tranmere but the key bit of information this has given us is their ages – this census shows William Holmes (the head of the household) to be 42 and Margaret Holmes (his wife) to be 35.
The 1871 Census was never very clear – someone had drawn a line right through his age – but it looked very much like he was 32 and considerably younger than his wife Margaret. Now we can be reasonably confident that his age in 1871 was actually 52 and so other things start to make much more sense.
For example Ellis Holmes – the eldest son – is shown as 23 on the 1871 Census and would therefore have been far too old to have been William’s son. Now we can resonably assume that Ellis is the son of both William and Margaret and we’re not looking for some third party to explain the discrepancy in their ages.
More good news is that the place of birth for both Margaret and Ellis is actually legible on this Census – both are shown as being born at Mostyn, Denbighshire on the North Wales coast.
As both William and Margaret were born long before Civil Registration in England and Wales, this at least gives us a starting point when delving into the world of Parish Registers…
Another birth certificate arrived this morning, this time for Sarah Ellen Cross – my mum’s maternal grandmother.
As reported earlier there was a bit of mystery surrounding Sarah, we thought she was the daughter of Richard Cross and Sarah Burgess but on the 1881 Census she’s listed as being their niece. Well the certificate that arrived this morning show’s her mother to have been Martha Cross (who at this stage I’m assuming is Richard’s sister) but no father is listed.
Sarah Ellen was born in 1873 in Chorlton upon Medlock and on the 1871 Census i’ve found a Martha Cross born in Plumley in 1841 (where Richard Cross lived) who was a general servant to the Brown family at what looks like Brislington Villa in Victoria Park, Rushholme – a neighbouring district.
The plot thickens… 😀
We’ve finally got the birth certificates for John and William Holmes from the Holmes family we found living in Bebington on the 1871 census – and it’s at least confirmed that we’ve definitely got the right family.
Unfortunately it’s shown their mother’s maiden name to be Margaret Williams – and as just about all we know about her is that she was born somewhere in Wales (there’ll not be that many Williams in Wales will there?) around 1827 (conveniently before the start of Civil Registration) this could turn into a bit of a dead end. The only possible lead we have is the eldest son on the 1871 census – Ellis Holmes.
He’s listed as 23 years of age, which is only 13 years younger than William Holmes – which would suggest to me that he maybe William wasn’t the father!
He’s also shown as being born in Wales like his mum, and is listed as ‘Crippled from Birth’ – which may explain why Margaret left Wales and married a labourer from the Wirral.
After a length search I can find no Ellis Holmes on the index of births, but there is an Ellis Williams registered in Carnarvon (born on Angelsey) at around the right time. It could be a completely different Ellis, but it’s probably worth sending for the certificate to find out…
The first signs of something out of the ordinary on my mum’s branch of the tree have surfaced.
Her maternal grandmother, Sarah Ellen Cross, was believed to be the daughter of Richard Cross and Sarah Burgess – and indeed on her marriage certificate she gives Richard Cross as the name of her father.
However on the 1881 census, whilst she appears living with Richard & Sarah Cross in Lostock Gralam near Northwich, she is listed as Richard’s niece – and her birthplace is given as Manchester.
Richard & Sarah and all their offspring where born in several small villages around Northwich – Lostock Gralam, Lach Dennis & Nether Peover – there’s certainly no indication they ever made it as far as Manchester.
Searching the index of births I’ve found a Sarah Ellen Cross born in Chorlton in 1873 – it may not be our Sarah but she’s the right age so we’ll have to send for the Birth Certificate to find out.
More from my mum’s branch of the tree, this time her maternal grandmother’s parents – Richard Cross and Sarah Burgess.
We’ve just received their wedding certificate, which shows they were married at the Parish Church in Great Budworth on 31st December 1861.
Their parents are recorded as James Cross (Wheelwright) and Thomas Burgess (Labourer) so they’re the next people to track down…
Thus far my mum’s branch of the family tree has proven a little more straightforward to investigate than my dad’s – noone strayed to far from the Runcorn area as yet.
We’ve just received the marriage certificate for Thomas & Ellen Wood – the parents of my mum’s paternal grandfather (William Wood).
It shows they were married in Widnes in 1875 and gives their father’s names as Thomas Wood and Thomas Knowles respectively – we need to find birth certificates now in order to find out their mother’s names.
Although we can find no sign of her on the 1891 or 1901 census, family history suggests that Maggie outlived her son John who died in 1906.
I’ve been searching for a death certificate and have found one in the index for 1908 – a Margaret Holmes aged 81 (consistent with the 1871 census) registered in the Prescot district.
We’ll probably have to send for this certificate to be sure – but it does beg the question where is she on the census?
Looks like the Sarah Jane Smith we found is not our Sarah Jane Smith – even though her father has the right name.
We’ve managed to track them down on the 1881 census, as well as our Robert and Sarah Jane Smith – interestingly our Sarah Jane Smith seems to have lost a couple of years on the 1901 census and her place of birth has changed from Cavan in Ireland to St Helens.
It would be much easier if everyone stopped telling porkies on the census. 😀
Anyway taking a different tack has thrown up another lead – the International Genealogical Index at FamilySearch.org is a partial index to vital records from around the world including some from Ireland.
A search has thrown up a Susan Smith born on 21 Jul 1872 in Cavan in Ireland to a Robert Smith and Serah Johnston.
We’ll see of we can send for that Birth Certificate, but at least it gives us a concrete lead in the search for the Irish branch of our family tree.
Some more census searching at Ancestry.co.uk has thrown up some promising leads in the search for John Holmes.
On the 1871 census we have found a Holmes family living in Bebington on the Wirral with six children – the youngest of which are a William J aged 6 and a John aged 4 both listed as born in New Ferry. All of which is just about as close to Rock Ferry as you can get without actually being there. 🙂
Although we were looking for a James aged 6 and a John aged 2, we’ve got good reason to believe that John lied about his age – both on his marriage certificate and the 1901 census – as he’s the best part of 10 years older than his wife Elizabeth which was frowned upon at the time. From his death certificate and colliery records, which list his age as 38 in January 1906, we would expect his age to be around 4 on the 1871 census.
We’ve also found a birth certificate in the index that suggests the William J stands for William James, and as their father’s name was William it’s quite possible that in later life he dropped the William in favour of James.
On the 1881 census William (the father) has died, and the mother Maggie Holmes is running a Lodging House in Eccleston near St Helens – young William and our John are still living with her along with two of the other children, and John is listed as a Scholar aged 14 and William J as a labourer at the Glass Works aged 16.
On the 1891 census Maggie has died and John Holmes is listed as a Collier aged 24 living with his older sister Margaret, who is now married to a Frank Grundy but still running a Lodging House in Eccleston (a different one to the one on the 1881 census though) – but there’s no sign of William J Holmes.
Anyway we’ve sent for William James birth certificate which will hopefully give us Maggie’s maiden name – we know from the census she was born in the North Wales but the place name is indecipherable – and we’ll see where that takes us.
Looks like the John William Holmes we discovered recently is probably not our John Holmes after all.
After a length trawl through the 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses (or should that be censi) on the excellent Ancestry.co.uk we discovered this particular John Holmes had an elder sister Ann, but apparently no elder brother James.
That would make it difficult for them to be sharing a house on the 1901 census – so either we don’t believe the 1901 census or there’s another John and James Holmes out there waiting to be discovered. | <urn:uuid:fb49b031-21b6-41c2-b922-17becc0c78c4> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://thebambers.wordpress.com/category/genealogy/page/2/ | 2020-07-12T07:20:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.978435 | 2,088 | [

We would like to wish all of our “Love Picnic Paris” friends, past and future clients a most wonderful NEW YEAR 2020! We have started this new year with the secret proposal of Luke and Valentina at the Trocadero on January first. We are ever grateful to have such amazing clients. “Love Picnic Paris” has been an incredible adventure being able to share our passion and love for life with so many people flying to Paris from all over the world.
Greg contacted us yesterday to help organize a surprise picnic overlooking the Eiffel tower. He proposed to his long time girl friend Amy… who was overjoyed and a little surprised. They enjoyed our “Léon picnic” with a bottle of champagne, strawberries for dessert and a couple of “Eclair au chocolat” that we picked up on rue Montorgueil. Special treat for a special occasion & not to forget a mini photo session with Olivier around the trocadero to celebrate this very special time in their life.
It is such a treat for us to be able to share our love for picnics with clients flying to Paris from all over the world to enjoy our amazing city. Greg and Amy are Australians and live in Sydney. They are touring europe for a month and stopped over in Paris for a few days. They will be getting married in Australia next year. Olivier started his photographic career working for the “Sydney Morning Hearald” over 20 years ago! That creates a special bound I guess! They had a wonderful time both with their picnic and their photographer. Amy & Greg suggested we come to Sydney for the wedding as Olivier was telling them that it was in Australia that he photographed is first wedding on the beach!
Olivier is a wonderful photographer. We propose some top of the notch portrait photography with one of the most talented and sweetest photographer in town. You can see some of Olivier’s private portraits on his website. Amy & Greg proposal photo session was sent out to them via “Wetransfer” yesterday. We have just received this little note from Greg :
” Thank you so much for everything you and your wife organised today, everything was perfect.
The photos look amazing & we are so glad we have met you.
Thank you!!! “
Extra sweet of them … We are heading to the Trocadero for another surprise picnic set up & a photo session this morning. So stay tune for some more exiting photography in Paris. | <urn:uuid:93f5a559-f172-4196-b337-58b860ae7ac4> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.lovepicnicparis.com/tag/paris-photographer/ | 2020-07-14T02:45:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657147917.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714020904-20200714050904-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.971536 | 522 | [

When is the right time to start revising class 11th portion for NEET 2021?
Hello Aspirant ,
As per my experience ,Class 11 syllabus contains the basics which you'll need to understand the 12th syllabus. So it's very important and should not be skipped at all.
Refer the NCERTs for Biology and Chemistry. Organic chemistry basics are given elaborately in 11th textbooks.
In my opinion, before starting the 12th syllabus, you should go back and take a quick look at its basics in the 11th texts, so as to understand and better. And also take a quick revision at the end so that you fully understand each and every thing.
Try to also solve daily questions and numericals, to retain your knowledge and gain mastery over the topics.
hope this helps.
All The Best !!!
I scored in neet abhyas test continuosly 570 to 600 in 7 test how my performance
It's really good and the appreciative one. Good

Shadow IT is a great thing until it runs into the security of cloud computing. All too often line-of-business users are establishing applications and moving data into the cloud without understanding all the security implications.
The Cloud Security Alliance has put together a list of the nine most prevalent and serious security threats in cloud computing. Many of them relate in one way or another to the weaknesses implicit in Shadow IT.
The alliance bills its list as the “Notorious Nine: Cloud Computing Threats in 2013.” The CSA itself was formed in 2008 on the heels of the Information Systems Security Association CISO Forum in Las Vegas. Jim Reavis, a well-known security researcher and author, issued a call for action to secure the cloud at the event, leading to the founding of the organization.
The report was released in February and was composed by a group within the alliance, including co-chairs Rafal Los of HP, Dave Shackleford of Voodoo Security, and Bryan Sullivan of Microsoft. They were assisted by staff members Luciano Santos, research director; Evan Scoboria, webmaster; Kendall Scoboria, graphic designer; Alex Ginsburg, copywriter; and John Yeoh, research analyst.
Here are the CSA’s biggest concerns.
1. Data Breaches
The data breach at Target, resulting in the loss of personal and credit card information of up to 110 million individuals, was one of a series of startling thefts that took place during the normal processing and storage of data. “Cloud computing introduces significant new avenues of attack,” said the CSA report authors. The absolute security of hypervisor operation and virtual machine operations is still to be proved. Indeed, critics question whether such absolute security can exist. The report’s writers said there’s lab evidence — though none known in the wild — that breaches via hypervisors and virtual machines may occur eventually.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, security software firm RSA, and the University of North Carolina cited evidencein November 2012 that it’s possible for a user on one virtual machine to listen for activity that signals the arrival of an encryption key on another VM on the same host. It’s called the “side channel timing exposure,” as was previously reported by InformationWeek.
“It’s every CIO’s worst nightmare: the organization’s sensitive internal data falls into the hands of their competitors,” the report said.
[Want to learn more about how cloud security needs to be structured? See Cloud Security Needs More Layers: HyTrust.]
So far, the largest breaches haven’t involved any such advanced techniques, which remain for the most part lab experiments. But the possibility still acts as a brake on what is looking like broad enterprise adoption of cloud computing. Clouds represent concentrations of corporate applications and data, and if any intruder penetrated far enough, who knows how many sensitive pieces of information will be exposed. “If a multitenant cloud service database is not properly designed, a flaw in one client’s application could allow an attacker access not only to that client’s data, but every other client’s data as well,” the report concluded.
“Unfortunately, while data loss and data leakage are both serious threats to cloud computing, the measures you put in place to mitigate one of these threats can exacerbate the other,” the report said. Encryption protects data at rest, but lose the encryption key and you’ve lost the data. The cloud routinely makes copies of data to prevent its loss due to an unexpected die off of a server. The more copies, the more exposure you have to breaches.
2. Data Loss
A data breach is the result of a malicious and probably intrusive action. Data loss may occur when a disk drive dies without its owner having created a backup. It occurs when the owner of encrypted data loses the key that unlocks it. Small amounts of data were lost for some Amazon Web Service customers as its EC2 cloud suffered “a remirroring storm” due to human operator error on Easter weekend in 2011. And a data loss could occur intentionally in the event of a malicious attack.
The alliance cited the case of Mat Honan, a writer for Wired magazine, who in the summer of 2012 found an intruder had broken into his Gmail, Twitter, and Apple accounts and deleted all the baby pictures of his 18-month old daughter.

At the beginning of 2014 we were asked to write to the SealyQuarter magazine a few words about our kennel. It’s not the shortest text ever, but it tells the story 🙂 here it comes, hope you enjoy it!
My highest wish as a child was to have my own dog.
After many years of taking walks with dogs from neighbors and others, and after lots of nagging on my father that I was ready for my own dog, he was finally convinced.
I got my first dog when I was 12 in 1989, I was as happy as anyone could ever be.
Her name was Selma and a mix between Golden and Labrador retriever. She was 1 year old when I got her and was actually supposed to be put to sleep. We had 24 hours to decide whether we wanted her or not and of course the only right thing was to save this lovely dog.
She was a super dog for a beginner, happy, calm and easy to teach things.
I started to train and compete in agility and obedience but Selma was maybe not the fastest ever and I wanted more. I started to look around for a breed that was good to train with but on the same time not as common as a Border collie or German Shephard. My heart chose the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, the Toller.
Her name was Bonnie and we picked her up in August 1991 and that was one of the most exciting moments in my life, my own puppy, from the beginning.
If Selma was easy going, Bonnie was the opposite. Someone must have thought I had it too easy with Selma.
Bonnie was very difficult in her temperament and I had to train with her a lot. She could for example not stand any strange dogs and behaved like a real idiot when meeting them. It was a hard time for a not so old Fredrik. But the training gave result and we did very well in obedience and especially agility.
This is also when I finally could start showing a bit.
Bonnie did excellent on shows and I loved it. She won BIS at the club show once and had many other high placements.
In 1994 I went to a friend’s house to look at her Toller puppies. Bad move. It resulted in one more Toller, this time a male that we called Zigge.
Also he did great on shows with many high placements and also in agility he did super.
Shows was lots of fun I thought and that is one of the reasons the choice fell on Sealyhams later on.
In the years 1997-2000 I spent several months abroad on two big kennels. That was a great experience. 1997 the visit went to Skansen kennels, California, USA. There I worked with all sizes of the schnauzer family. It was really a fun time.
After that I spent the summer 1998 at kennel van de Vanenblikhoeve in Holland. They have a big boarding kennel and also breed Standard schnauzer and Bouvier des flandres.
The summer after that was also spent at this place.
I learned many good things there and one of them was how to groom.
Since they had many dogs them self and had sold many puppies that came for grooming, the chance to learn both stripping and clipping was very good.
In 2000 I went back a second time to Skansen kennels.
After this visit I felt that it was time to buy a breed that I could practice my grooming skills on and that would suite a bit better for shows then the Tollers, this is how Doris, my first Sealyham came in to my life.
Again I wanted a dog that wasn´t all that common. I never wanted a dog that everyone else had.
I had met the Sealyhams many years before. It was kennel Normlösa that had a breed information booth at a show and I remembered that I still had a paper with info about the breed somewhere at home. I liked them a lot then and on top of that they also reminded a lot about the schnauzers that I had been working with.
After searching for a breeder in Sweden, I found Margaretha Kronborg, kennel Majomas.
It is now 2002 and she just had a litter of puppies and they were ready to move so I went to take a look.
I was hooked…
The one that caught my heart was Doris, Ch. Majomas High-Colour, but she was not for sale, Margaretha was supposed to keep her. I was offered to buy Byron, Doris brother. I went home and did some thinking but could not get Doris out of my head. I called Margaretha and we talked about it and she decided I could have her on breeder’s term. I was so happy.
I learned how to groom her and we started her show career. It started as good as it could. BIS puppy at one of the Swedish terrier club shows.
After this she had set the bar quite high and my hopes for her became even higher.
In 2003 we went to the WDS in Dortmund. I was very nervous since I had never been to such a big show with a dog before. I had been to look at the Sealyhams at the WDS in Amsterdam the year before but now it was for real for both of us. Doris did not disappoint, she took the JWW title and became BOB.
I was a bit shocked but so happy.
My interest for shows of course increased and we went here and there with her and she continued to collect her titles. She has champion titles from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and she is also international and Nordic champion. Swedish winner in ’02 ’03 ’04 ’05, JWW ´03 and BOB, WW ´09, VWW ´10 and BOB and VWW ´12. She has been BIS at the SSS specialty in ´03, ´04, ´05, ´07 and ´09 and BOS in ´06. She also has numerous BIG and BIS placements.
Doris has been, and still is, a dog apart from others. I was so lucky to be able to get a dog like her, with her beauty and super temperament.
Margaretha was supposed to have a litter on Doris at one point and in 2004 it was time for that and we had a natural break from the shows. She had a litter with 2 male puppies. One of them was sold to USA.
When that was done she was my own.
In 2006 I decided to go back to USA again, this time to work at Jovals kennel, Airedale terriers.
I brought Doris along to be able to show her and also with the thought of breeding her.
We had a lovely time and she got 12 points for her championship but is still missing 3 points to finish it. But at least we went home with a belly full of puppies, sired by Traveling man of Tentyne.
In August, 5 little ones were born, 4 males and 1 female. Since I was thinking of continuing with breeding the only female was to be kept of course but I also wanted to keep a male and that is what happened. Kiri, Ch. Forlegd Te-Anau, and Vito Ch. Forlegd Hawea, stayed with me at home.
Two males went to Holland and one has been shown and used for stud, Forlegd Manapouri.
Kiri and Vito grew and soon enough it was their turn to get into the show ring.
They both have done really well. Vito being Swedish and Norwegian champion, Swedish winner in ´08 and ´09, Norwegian winner ´09 and Nordic winner ´07.
Kiri was not going to worse.
In 2008 it was time for the WDS in Stockholm and I had entered both kids for that. I was very excited about going to the WDS and also to the SSS show for many reasons but one was of course that Charmin was coming. And thinking about that we had such great competition the results that followed were very satisfying.
Kiri was BOS on the SSS show and Vito got R-CACIB after Charmin at the WDS.
Kiri also got BOS at the SSS specialty in 2010 and at that same weekend she also took the WW ´10 title, losing only with her mother.
Kiri also have championship titles from Norway, Sweden and Denmark as well as being International champion. In 2009 she became Norwegian winner and m2010 Swedish winner.
In 2009 I had my second litter and it was Kiri´s first. Sire of that litter was Llawhadens Sir Jocely Lucas. There was only one female in that litter, Stina or “Stinky”, Forlegd Amfitrite, and she was shown with good results. She also produced a litter of puppies where one became WW in 2013. Sadly Stina passed away much to early in 2011.
Our sealyham story could sound like any other, but in fact it has been a real adventure, that started 14 years ago, when I got my first sealy girl. Or maybe it started even earlier, when I have decided that „Sealyham(!!!) it will be”.
Since I was 6 there was always a boxer accompanying me in the daily life. First Demon – lovely brindle couch potato, later Leo – fawn male with some show ambitions, but not a real ring star. Leo was an angel dog, but he was not always understood by other dogs and with some negative experiences he became less and less confident in dog-dog relations. Then I realize it’s time for a second dog at home, as a companion and (hopefully) best friend for Leo, but also a show dog for me, as I got very involved in the life of the Polish Kennel Club. Second boxer was an option, but living in an apartment, in the city center, the vision of two expresive big dogs was maybe not very realistic at that moment. But I love big dogs! Big, active and happy, friendly and good looking. But not hyper active or noisy. All my demends narrowed the pool of breeds to very few, from which the sealyham became the winner (knowing that this little white dog is actually a very big personality, which helped accepting its size)! Thinking of future shows the decision was even easier knowing that there are some really beautiful specimens in Poland based on the top winning and world wide known „Koncept” dogs.
Unfortunatelly I was a bit too late to get a dog with Koncept prefix, as Hanna Bakuniak decided to stop breeding sealyhams, having last litter in 1999, but there were a few valuable females still available for breeding so my chances of getting a promising puppy weren’t lost. I have contacted a few kennels and at the end I have selected one – very small, not well known, but the one that had the best breeding plans. The breeder, Iwona Mańkowska, had only one female – Malaga Koncept that she was planning to mate to a beautiful male – Boffin Ars Amandi, inbreeding the same on an unquestioned star and legend Gaspar Koncept who was the father of both of them.
Iwona has proved to be a very patient person, answering my every phone call and every question for several months, before THE litter was born. In the meantime I went to a grooming course, arranged by a terrier breeder and international judge Magdalena Świętoń, to get more knowledge about how to make a sealyham looks good.
Finally the day has come! April 25, 2000 was the happiest day I could imagine, Malaga gave birth to three baby girls! Iwona was well aware I wanted a female for shows, so she gave me the first choice. Already during the first visit at Iwed kennel, when the puppies were 5 weeks old, my gaze stopped at one of the babies. Later on my thoughts were confirmed by a terrier specialist, judge and sealy owner – Dorota Standełło – and little Amidala Iwed moved to our home getting a call name Kiwi.
In the blink of an eye 2 months old little white hair ball dominated an adult boxer male, but he was the happiest ever, having a friend to hang around. And for me the sealy life began!
Kiwi turned out to be made for show rings. She loved to drive and to show around, she was full of attitude! First time she stepped in the show ring was at the European Show in Poland in 2000 where, in the first words of her critic made by the famous terrier judge Hans van den Berg, she was described as „outstanding” with several exclamation marks. Her career went smooth, she won most of the shows she went to, she was placed 2nd BIS becoming the second sealy after Gaspar Koncept placed so high an the Terrier Club Show in Poland. She collected such titles as Interchampion, Champion of Poland, Champion of Slovakia, Junior Champion of Poland, Winner of Poland ’01, Winner of Lithuania ’02, Mid&East Europe Winner ’01’04, Club Winner of Poland ’02’04, Club Winner of Croatia ’02. Kiwi was my best girl, stubborn, tough, but had a heart of gold… she passed away at the age of 12… and she was suppose to be immortal…
It was easy to fall in love with sealyham terriers, find myself very welcomed in the „Sealyham Family” and all that left me no doubts that I had to find myself a second sealy! Looking around in Europe I totally lost my heart for Abricot Moonraker (Rico) owned by Carita and Harri Natunen. And one day I saw this most adorable, cutests male puppy, sired by Rico, on the Six-Pack Kennel website and did not think twice, but mailed to Carita asking about him. Mail by mail and little Six-Pack San Miguel came to Poland! With Carita! With the only difference that he stayed with me and Carita went back home after showing him at the International Show in Poznan and getting his first Best Puppy title! I could not be more grateful to Carita and Harri for the little boy called Hector! He was a sweetheart and brought a lot of improvements in the sealyham breeding in Poland (giving in three litters 10 females and 1 male – every sealyham breeder dream!). Hector didn’t enjoy shows, prefered to play with tennis ball and run in forest, but he had no problems becoming an Interchampion, Champion of Poland, Champion of Slovakia, Junior Champion of Poland, Junior Winner of Poland ’03, Club Winner of Poland ’04, Club Winner of Czech ’04, Junior Club Winner of Poland ’03, Junior Club Winner of Germany ’03.
Hector was also a perfect match for Kiwi, so with their litter the ‚Saskatoon’ prefix started its existence. Three super cute girls were born: First Kiss – stayed in Poland, First Touch – went to Russia to „Seventy Seven” Kennel and First Smile – emigrated to Slovakia to Barbara Lamatova to become the foundation bitch of „Dot And Dash” Kennel. Touch became a Russian Champion and Russian Junior Champion. And Smile… she collected a long list of titles that started with Interchampion, Champion of Slovakia, Czech, Austria, Poland…
In June 2005 Barbara with her husband Peter and Smile on board came to visit us, on their way they have stopped at Basia’s family in another city in Poland. Before they arrived to us I got a message that I would have never expected. While talking to Basia’s relatives she discovered we are family!!! I still find it unbelievable, but that is true. And we would never know about existance if not thanks to sealyhams!
Oh My Hero and Oh My Handsome were born in Kiwi’s second (and last) litter, sired by Interchampion, European Winner, Junior World Winner – Falcor Junior Koncept. This litter deserves a separate story, but to make long story short – Oh My Handsome was, without my knowledge, bought by a broker and most likely died in the plane on his way to a puppy mill. I don’t have to explain I had no clue about what has happend and who actually was the man who bought my puppy. I had a serious breakdown and from a stage „I will not breed dogs anymore” I went to „I will fight!” level and started to cooperate with the American Sealyham Terriers Forever Foundation, trying to stop the horrible dealings. But that story is for another time…
Oh My Hero (Milo), on the other hand, stayed with me. If it would be possible to clone dog’s temperament I would clone Milo’s. He was a gorgeous dog – in his body, brain and heart. He collected a nice pile of titles (Interchampion, Champion of Poland, Champion of Slovakia, Champion of Sweden, Junior Champion of Poland, Winner of Poland ’07, Club Winner of Poland ’07, Mid&East Europe Cup Winner ’07, Junior Interra Winner ’06, Junior Czech Republic Winner ’06) and sired two litters. But mainly – he was a great friend with strong temperament, very clever and emotional. There was no obsticle he couldn’t open or move to get to me. When I moved to Norway – he went with me. I went to work – he was always there. Down the street – „mom, I’m coming!”. Sealyhams love to be where we are and he was the best example of it. He lived far too short… six years is far too short… he was poisoned and even the best vets were helpless…
When in 2008, having only retired Kiwi at home and Milo, Basia told me about her breeding plans, I thought it would be perfect to go back to the rootes and get a puppy after Smile and Whitepepper’s Othello who was already then a famous youngster. And that is how little Sakih – Dot And Dash Be My Saskatoon – came to Norway in April 2009. Sakih was a great choice! He was made for ring, very eye catchy and showy. He is an Interchampion, Champion of Poland, Sweden, Norway, Nordic and Swedish Winner, but the success I can rate as the best was to win the Junior class at the World Show in 2009, judged by a famous terrier specialist Gitty Schwab, and getting the Best Junior title, in a strong competition.
When the „Forlegd” starts…
We first met at the World Dog Show in 2002 and later mailed occasionally, mostly about our dogs, of course. The idea of breeding Doris to Milo showed up, but was not realize until much later… Somewhere in 2009 our online friendship went to more offline status and we have decided to „join forces”.
Same year in the summer we moved together with five dogs: Doris, Kiri, Vito, Milo and Sakih. The start of our team work was really splendid, when our dogs got everything possible on the Specialty show arranged by the Scandinavian Sealyhamterrier Society, judged by Henry Sutfliff III – Doris was Best Of Breed, Vito – BOS and Sakih – Best Puppy!
Together with Doris and Sakih we went to the World Dog Show in Bratislava same year and that was a show we will remember forever! 7-year-old Doris became the World Winner ’09 and Sakih (same as his sister Linda) – Junior World Winner ’09 and Best Junior!
Two months later the long awaited litter was born. Doris and Milo became parents of five ‚Wizzards’: Zany-Minerva ‚Mira’ – lives in Finland with Malin Henriksson and is so far a Swedish and Finnish Champion, competing in agility as well; Zippy-Sirius ‚Tito’ – lives in South Africa with Madeleine Kleynhans and was the first sealyham in that country after decades. He easily became a Champion and was placed on groups many times; Zealous-Albus ‚Ceasar’ and Zesty-Rubeus ‚Hugo’ live in Sweden and are the most loved pets; last but not least – Zazzy-Severus ‚Ricky’ – stayed with us! He was such a gorgeous puppy we could not resist! And we’ve never regreted this decision. He became a super elegant, but still very masculine male with some great but rare features that are (should be!) very valuable in our breed. He proves his quality constantly on the shows and so far he completed Championships of Poland, Russia, Norway, Sweden and Interchampionship. He is a Norwegian and Swedish Winner and also took reserve CACIB at the World Dog Show 2013. He is a very proud and serious dog when he performs. He loves to show and be admired. At home – he is a sweetheart and, same as his father, mama’s boy. So far he sired one litter, second is on its way and one more planned…
Another great world show for Forlegd dogs took place in Denmark. Out of three dogs shown by us, both our girls – Kiri and Doris – took it all! Kiri became a World Winner and Doris – Veteran World Winner and… Best Of Breed! Splendid!
In 2010 Kiri became a mother again .This time Sakih was her partner and we got a litter of 4 (3 males and 1 female). Weezy Hector Barbossa and Wazzup Sao Feng have a happy couch-potato-life. Wannabe Tia Dalma ‚Gucci’ became a Swedish Champion and Junior Nordic Winner ’11, but the biggest star from this litter is ‚Ozzy’ – Forlegd Witty Jack Sparrow – owned by Zsombor Vizi in Romania. Ozzy with no problem became a Champion, but the most important – he does a great job representing sealyhams in the main ring. He is not shown often, but despite this he won Best In Show on an all breed show, almost every time placed on Junior Best In Show or Best of Group podium.
In 2011 we moved to Poland for over two years and there our latest litter was born – the ‚Madagascar’ litter – out of Kiri and Bushaway Back To Back, imported from US from Sally Sweat to Csilla Mladoniczky in Hungary. 2 males and 2 females were born. The smallest born was Yahoo Marty, who lives in Sweden, close to us and so far shown twice got Best Of Breed at an International Show and Junior Winner at the SSS Specialty Show. For a long time we could not decided which girl we want to keep. It was obvious that one will stay – they were wonderful! But, as you can always expect from an outcross, they were different in type. So at the end we decided to keep… both! One, Yack It Up Gloria, stayed with us while the second one, Yadda Yadda Gia, we offered to our friend Jenny Palmkvist in a coownership. Gia rocks! Being just 19 months she is already a Junior Winner of Denmark and Norway, Winner of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. She is also a Junior SSS Winner and Best Junior ’13. Not to mention all editional certificates… Being busy with moving back to Sweden we did not show Gloria much yet, just twice, so so far we can brag about Gloria being the cutest baby ever! But the fourth one… he is already a legend… Forlegd Yuppie Moto Moto, owned by Irina and Igor Kononenko in Russia, has everything we want from a sealyham terrier. Type, all important details that make him a perfect breed representative, movement (!!!) and last but absolutely not least – temperament! He also has the best groomer we could imagine – Irina, who makes him look outstanding every time! No wonder that so many people love him and cheer for him! We are very grateful for every support and positive feedback we get. Moto Moto is a Junior European Winner, Junior Interra Winner, Junior Champion of Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Switzerland, Champion of Russia, Lithuania and Latvia. Almost every time he was placed on the Group or Best In Show, both Junior and ‚adult’, including 2nd place on Junior Best In Show at Interra (handled that day by Geoff Dawson)!
Last year a new addition to ‚Forlegd’ arrived, imported from Russia – Ricky’s son from Elena Sharapova kennel ‚iz Alenushkinoy Skazki’. Little ‚Felix’ Absolut Forlegd iz Alenushkinoy Skazki is co-owned by us and our friend in Sweden.
And now we are in 2014, planning a new litter soon (the last one of Kiri), but at the moment we are mostly trying to settle down after moving to a new house, that was bought mainly thinking of the dogs and their comfort. Because they need to have place for their beds! Let’s face it – they are spoiled. And they use us in the sweetest way possible. It’s impossible to get angry at them, at least not for too long. When they come and look at us with their big dark eyes and when they notice we start to smile, the tail starts to wag faster and faster and… we are lost again. Lost in sealy love!
It was a pleasure for us to be asked to write those ‚few words’ to the SealyQuarter magazine. It’s one of a kind and we would like to congratulate to your fantastic work! Even though we don’t speak Russian we are glad we can admire looking at it. We also love the sealyham.ru database – keep up your good work and cooperation! I was told last year there is no such thing as ‚Sealyham Family’, but I think there is! 🙂
PS. And what does a ‚Forlegd’ mean? When you hear it, it sounds like ‚four legged’. When you read – take every second letter and see what you find out… 🙂 | <urn:uuid:bf3290cc-0757-4b1e-858a-2b51f2f5bf77> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://sealyhams.eu/about-us/ | 2020-07-14T12:00:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880665.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714114524-20200714144524-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.984248 | 5,691 | [

Invitation to the Chop Party
I was so excited the first time I stumbled across Patricia Sund’s Parrot Nation blog and found her page on “Chop”. All of these years I had spent so much time chopping veggies by hand. It was now time to dust off that food processor that was hidden away in the back of my cabinets. Chop is a fantastic idea and concept as a means to obtain nutrients from a wide variety of different foods in every single bite. Chop is an easy way to add fresh nutritious food to your parrot’s diet. I think of it as a finely chopped salad with healthful grains, herbs and spices added, make it a complete meal by adding cooked or sprouted beans to it. Good examples are garbanzo beans, mung beans, adzuki beans as well as lentils, they are very nutritious and easy to digest for parrots.
I still feed a good daily pelleted diet and a large variety of good foods for my birds, buying human-grade organic food from the health food store really makes me feel good about what I am feeding my birds. People are organizing Chop parties for avian enthusiasts, bird clubs and rescues to get together to make Chop. Many are sending Patricia their Chop pictures from all over the world. If you haven’t made a batch yet, it’s time to join the party and give it a try.
It all started with this video, there are easy to follow, step by step videos to give you lots of great ideas. There is a bean video there too that Patricia uses along side with her veggie Chop. Pat’s wit and charm make her educational videos fun to watch and learn from too.
Also check out the new Chop video Patricia put together of different Chop’s from bird lovers all over the world.

In this GetResponse claim to be the most convenient newsletter tool readily available, with a tonne of professional features. This is a huge claim, particularly as their costs are so competitive. The Polish-based business’s worldwide reach reaches 182 countries, and claim to engage over 1 billion subscribers every month! That’s a great deal of emails.Que Es Webinar Software

So, is GetResponse Basic worth your time and money? If you require to optimize send out times for a gazillion emails, this is a great deal. If your e-mail marketing technique is more modest, and you do not need the optimization, Mailchimp is a much better choice at the start.

You get a great deal of improvements to webinar functionality. You can have triple the number of webinars guests (300) and double the hours of recording storage (six). Que Es Webinar Software
This plan also enhances workflow management by giving you custom workflows and a visual editor to create them. These are a few of GetResponse’s strongest functions, and definitely a few of the reasons GetResponse gets such fantastic reviews.

You can likewise sector and filter contacts through the workflow to make your marketing even more appropriate.
If you require e-commerce functions, you’ll value the option to send out abandoned cart e-mails so that you can win back clients and enhance revenue.
GetResponse Professional also consists of customized DKIM, which is one of the e-mail authentication procedures that assists your emails reach your customers’ inboxes. This is essential, specifically if you’re sending a lot of emails.
So, should you upgrade to GetResponse’s Professional plan? Yes, if you need those custom-made workflows and plan to invite more webinar participants. Que Es Webinar Software
GetResponse Enterprise– Dedicated Support Tailored to You
The Enterprise plan is a excellent option if you want an account supervisor who’s committed to your email marketing success, and who will provide you with campaign and deliverability assessments. With this plan, you can get customized suggestions on your email marketing campaigns.
You can have a devoted IP address and infrastructure, too. This is your chance to run email marketing exactly the method you desire, and the cost reflects that.Que Es Webinar Software
And here are some other Enterprise plan rewards:
- You can have webinars with approximately 500 individuals, and store up to 10 hours of recordings.
- You can utilize GetResponse with a group of as much as ten people.
Should you upgrade? If you’re a industry and want personal attention from the GetResponse team, this plan is worth thinking about.
How does GetResponse prices compare to that of its rivals?
Long as you are pleased to utilize one of the entry-level ‘Basic’ strategies, the pay-per-month Getresponse plans are on the entire more affordable than those offered by many of its crucial rivals, especially if you have a reasonably big number of e-mail addresses on your database.
At the smaller sized database end of things, Getresponse’s prices is fairly competitive– you can host a database consisting of as much as 1,000 e-mail addresses for $15 a month with Getresponse, compared to $29 monthly on Aweber and Project Screen. The rates for Mailchimp’s broadly comparable ‘Standard’ plan is $14.99 monthly, which puts it in the same ballpark as Getresponse.Que Es Webinar Software
As you go up the rates ladder, Getresponse is likewise competitively priced. If you have a subscriber list containing between 9,000 and 10,000 records that you want to send out an limitless variety of e-mails each month to, you’ll discover that hosting it on the ‘Basic’ Getresponse plan costs $65 per month.
This works out:
- $ 4 each month more affordable than Aweber.
- $ 10 monthly less expensive than Mailchimp.
- $ 24 each month more affordable than Campaign Display.
( The above figures all utilize entry level plans by comparison).
The only popular service I can think about that comes in considerably cheaper seethes Mimi, which charges $42 each month to host approximately 10,000 email addresses. The performance provided by this solution is nowhere near as detailed as that supplied by the other platforms discussed above.
Some other things to be knowledgeable about on the rival rates front:
- Some contending service providers– especially Mailchimp– provide totally free represent users with a small number of records (but these do not offer the full series of features that you get on a paid plan).
- Some services (Mailchimp once again being a prime example) charge you to host both subscribed and unsubscribed contacts, which can become a considerable covert cost. Getresponse just charges you for your active subscribers.
- If you are prepared to pay in advance for 1 or 2 years, you can get considerable discount rates with Getresponse that other competitors don’t yet supply.
So the bottom line is that Getresponse is quite competitive in the pricing department. What about features? Que Es Webinar Software
CORE FEATURES THAT INCLUDE ALL PLANS
When it comes to features, GetResponse provides numerous helpful functions that you’ll be spoiled for choice. Of course, some functions are just readily available with particular plans.
The following are the main features to get out of this autoresponder program despite the bundle that you select to settle for:
1) AUTORESPONDER 2.0.

Just like the majority of email-marketing systems, GetResponse includes an email creation tool. The email creator/editor lets you make up messages from scratch or choose from hundreds of pre-designed design templates.
Other handy features that include the GetResponse Email Creator include the capability to edit HTML code or preview the message prior to sending out, in addition to the spam checker tool. When you’re done creating your e-mail message, you can relay the message immediately to chosen contacts.Que Es Webinar Software
You can use the time travel feature to send messages at a later time. This tool segments contacts by time zone then provides messages when recipients are most likely to check their mail.
3) LANDING PAGE DEVELOPER
GetResponse goes beyond offering autoresponder services. It also provides the landing page creator as an extra tool need to you need such a feature. This comes at an additional cost.
GetResponse is flexible with its landing page developer because you can select to host your page totally free on a GetResponse subdomain or on a various server of your own picking. The landing page creator is very intuitive. It lets users edit page components with user friendly drag-and-drop tools.
4) A/B SPLIT TESTING

This can be achieved through A/B split tests that let you experiment with various newsletters, subject line versions, email material, time of sending, and lots of other aspects. Que Es Webinar Software
5) RSS TO E-MAIL
The RSS to email feature instantly sends messages to your blog audience whenever you post a new post. Not just does this feature increase readership however it can likewise improve engagement and conversions when utilized properly.
Here’s a closer look at a few of GetResponse’s other functions.
Just like the landing page and e-mail creators, the GetResponse type builder is a basic WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) user interface with drag-and-drop aspects. It’s a terrific tool for developing sign-up types for Facebook and websites.
The autoresponder instantly sends opt-in messages whenever brand-new contacts register for your email list.
A good email marketing platform ought to have reliable list management functions. The GetResponse group comprehends this need and that’s why they developed their program with plenty of features to assist marketers handle their customer list. Que Es Webinar Software
BOOST CONVERSIONS WITH ADVANCED DIVISION
You can use advanced segmentation to divide contacts into separate or overlapping subgroups, and then build targeted email marketing campaigns designed for relevant engagement and conversion. What’s more, GetResponse also allows you to import contacts from third-party apps or send out surveys to members on your newsletter.
CREATE CUSTOM FIELDS
The contacts section makes it possible to add custom fields to your contact list and carry out searches. You can even blacklist the e-mail addresses of contacts you do not wish to get e-mail campaigns or follow-ups.
E-MAIL DEVELOPMENTS AND DESIGN TEMPLATES
The GetResponse Email Creator comes with more than 500 design templates. You can use the editor to produce extremely visual emails that are compatible with both mobile and desktop devices.
You can likewise modify the HTML code to create forms to tailor even more.Que Es Webinar Software
The photo editing features are not that advanced, they still enable you to experiment with a drag-and-drop toolbar that can include images and buttons in your email messages. GetResponse’s email creator also offers the choice to save components as bits for later use. Users that know their way around HTML can code their own templates.

The Inbox Sneak peek function is a fantastic addition for those who pay terrific attention to information. It lets you get a sneak peek of how email messages will look on different mobile and desktop gadgets as well as different email client programs.
Before sending the message, you can also run a “spam check” scan. This provides a spam rating after finding elements that may get your messages flagged as spam. Que Es Webinar Software
GET THE RIGHT MESSAGE TO THE RIGHT CLIENT WITH MARKETING AUTOMATION
One of the most important offerings of GetResponse is their marketing automation. This enables you to quickly develop “if-then” guidelines for a series of email interactions. Instead of every consumer getting the same message no matter their habits, they will receive messages (that you create in advance) that are responsive to their behavior.
For instance, a recipient who does not open an email for 2 weeks, could receive a different follow-up message than one who did.
Utilizing these simple flow-chart like tools, you can win back consumers, identify leads, send out convincing messaging to individuals that abandon carts in your online shop, produce qualification actions that set off subsequent messages and far more. Que Es Webinar Software
Data management and deliverability
There are two approaches you can utilize to include subscribers to a mailing list– you can employ a ‘single opt-in’ or a ‘double opt-in’ procedure.
If you utilize use a single opt-in procedure, the individual signing up to your subscriber list is added to your subscriber list the moment they struck the submit button on your sign up form.
With a double opt-in procedure, the person signing up to your list is sent out an e-mail consisting of a verification link that s/he should click before being subscribed.
The main advantage of a single opt-in procedure is that it makes it truly easy for users to sign up for your subscriber list; it likewise usually increases conversion rate and therefore the variety of customers on your list.Que Es Webinar Software
A double opt-in process is much better for verifying that individuals signing up for your list are using real e-mail addresses and leads to cleaner data and more accurate statistics (because open rates etc. are computed based on a list including just real email addresses).
Now, the bright side here is that Getresponse enables you to make use of either opt-in approach– this is not the case with all completing products (the recently launched Squarespace Email Campaigns being a case in point). A thumbs up for Getresponse for being versatile on this. Que Es Webinar Software
Information capture and forms
There are two methods to use forms in Getresponse– you can either include a HTML kind that you design yourself, or you can develop your type in Getresponse (picking from a decent variety of design templates and tweaking them to match your website design).
You’re most likely believing that all this sounds quite great– but to be honest, I believe there’s a Great Deal Of space for improvement with regard to Getresponse form design templates.
In addition, no controls are provided by Getresponse to switch forms on or off on particular gadgets or individual pages of your site. Offered Google’s method to pop-ups on mobile phones (where websites can take a hit in search results if they show ‘intrusive interstitials’ on mobile devices), this is a bit of a concern.Que Es Webinar Software
To get around this, I generally avoid using Getresponse kind design templates, and use HTML embeded forms which I design myself; and for popups I link my Getresponse to a growth-hacking tool called Sumo (this enables me to change pop-ups off for mobile users, in addition to screen types precisely as I ‘d like to and on the pages I want). But I ‘d rather not need to do this, as it involves an additional cost.
According to Getresponse customer support, the company is dealing with improving the forms so that they are mobile-responsive, but I do not have a precise timeline to show you on this yet. so that they are mobile-responsive, but I do not have an accurate timeline to share with you on this.}Que Es Webinar Software
It’s a definite ‘could-do-better’ here– offered some of the excellent and innovative marketing features available from Getresponse (such as webinars, CRM and Autofunnel), it’s impressive that the company can’t quite get their forms right.
Information division alternatives
Among the things I like most about Getresponse is the way you can send out to (or omit) several sectors of data at the same time. This is not the case with a few of Getresponse’s key rivals, including Mailchimp and Aweber.
Say you have a mailing list in Getresponse that you’ve divided up into four sections:Que Es Webinar Software
- Section A
- Section B
- Section C
- Section D
With Getresponse, it’s actually simple to message sections A, B and C simultaneously (you simply tick 3 appropriate checkboxes). You might also message sections B and C and leave out section D.
Not just can you message/ leave out several segments simultaneously, you can likewise do the very same with specific lists– for instance, if you had 3 different newsletter on Getresponse, you might send by mail individuals across all 3 of them.
This sort of versatility marks Getresponse out of its rivals– of the comparable products I have actually reviewed to date, only Campaign Monitor provides a similar level of flexibility (and one which comes at a much higher rate).
This versatility is perhaps among the most significant arguments in favour of using Getresponse over key rival Mailchimp, which does not open innovative segmentation functions unless you are on the hugely pricey ‘Mailchimp Premium’ plan.
The e-mail deliverability rate– the portion of e-newsletters sent out that effectively reach your subscribers’ inboxes– is undoubtedly an essential thing to take a look at when selecting an email marketing tool.Que Es Webinar Software
Not all e-mail marketing suppliers are that transparent about their deliverability rates; however Getresponse seems fairly open about this, with this to say about it on their website:
At GetResponse we are often inquired about the quality of our deliverability rate. Because deliverability depends upon many aspects, including the material of your messages, the deliverability rate might differ for each mailing. For all our customers jointly, however, we are proud to state our general deliverability rate presently stands at 99%.
Obviously you are going to have to take the business’s word for this, but assuming it holds true, it’s a good deliverability rate and inspires self-confidence that the large bulk of emails you send out using Getresponse will reach their intended recipients.
Moreover, Getresponse in fact gives you the deliverability rate of each message on your e-mail analytics– this is something I have not come across on completing items’ metrics. A thumbs up for this.
Custom-made DKIM– an authentication method developed to improve security for the senders and receivers of e-mail– is also offered on all Getresponse plans. This can even more improve deliverability.
In the light of the new GDPR (General Data Defense Guideline) rules, e-mail marketing got a bit more complicated, because there are stricter guidelines about what constitutes consent to get e-newsletters (and requirements about how that authorization is logged).
Getresponse is to be commended for supplying users with clear information about what their GDPR obligations are, along with special GDPR fields that make it much easier to log authorization and abide by the guidelines.
However, a location where Getresponse could do better on the GDPR front involves logins. Unlike rival Mailchimp, the login procedure does not include two-factor authentication, where a user is approved gain access to only after effectively presenting two or more pieces of details– i.e., a password and a code sent out through SMS.
Considered that data security is an essential element of GDPR, it would be excellent to see this performance presented as soon as possible.
User-friendliness/ user interface
On the whole, Getresponse is pretty uncomplicated to use. Its interface was redesigned recently, and it’s now a reasonably uncluttered and instinctive affair.
It’s definitely easy adequate to do all the basics in Getresponse: import contacts, develop campaigns, established autoresponders and inspect statistics.
In terms of how the Getresponse user interface compares to those of its rivals, I would argue that Project Screen is a bit more easy to use, and that the Mailchimp user interface features a cleaner design. Aweber’s user interface probably comes closest in regards to look.
One location I feel that could be substantially much better from a user-friendliness viewpoint is the existing Getresponse e-newsletter editor. (As pointed out above, there’s presently 2 offered– the original one, and a BETA version of the new one).
Whilst the ‘old’ editor’s drag-and-drop method carries out in theory offer a really flexible method to create blocks of content and move them around an e-newsletter, it is a bit clunky to use and can lead to accidental removal of material, or positioning of it in the wrong part of the e-newsletter.
If you can get your head around it, and practice using it a bit, it does produce an useful tool– it’s simply that the implementation of it could be a lot better.Que Es Webinar Software
The brand-new version of the email developer is BETTER– it’s got a cleaner interface, and it is extremely easy to use. The sooner it ends up being the default e-mail developer, the better.
Getresponse’s new e-mail developer user interface– presently readily available in BETA mode– is better than the older version.

Some enhancements to Getresponse absolutely require to be made nevertheless, particularly where the e-mail designer and landing page home builder are concerned– their drag and drop user interfaces are more fiddly and less responsive than they must be.

Thrills and chills
The Intruder by Hakan Ostlundh (Minotaur, Aug. 18)
Nordic crime fiction is intensely popular and this is yet another great Swedish writer. Ostlundh, once as a journalist for Sweden’s bestselling morning newspaper, crafts a tale about the Andersson family, which is being sent threatening letters. High-quality suspense.
Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay (Harper Collins, July)
Journalist David Harwood takes his son to his own hometown after his wife dies and the newspaper he works for collapses. Our regular Whodunit reviewer Jack Batten says this is Canadian writer Barclay’s best book yet.
The Hesitation Cut by Giles Blunt (Random House, August)
From the Canadian author of the John Cardinal series, a small twist: a suspense novel starring a young Benedictine monk and troubled poet.
Center of Gravity by Laura McNeill (Thomas Nelson, July 14)
This ex-news anchor has a two-book deal. This thriller features Ava Carson, a woman whose picture-perfect marriage is unravelling. She starts digging into the past for the truth . . . which isn’t, of course, what it seems.
Take it to the beach
Villa America by Liza Klaussmann (Bond Street Books)
A luscious, jazz-era read about the real-life, art-commune couple who were the inspiration for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic Tender Is the Night.
China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan (Doubleday)
The sequel to Crazy Rich Asians follows the same wealthy, young social climbers and pokes fun at their flashy cars and lavish lifestyle. It’s the second of a planned trilogy focusing on the world through protagonist Rachel’s eyes.
Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal (Penguin)
A debut, this novel is about a food-loving single dad raising a daughter. She becomes one of the most celebrated chefs in the country. There’s lots to satisfy foodies: each chapter tells the story of a single dish and character.
The Rocks by Peter Nichols (Riverhead)
Set in a Mallorca seaside resort, this combines mystery and romance as two honeymooners experience an event so catastrophic they don’t speak to one another for 60 years.
The Making of Zombie Wars by Aleksandar Hémon (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
Zombies are a thing right now and Hémon taps into the zeitgeist with this story of an aspiring screenwriter who has lots of ideas (for example, Love Trek: aliens undercover as cabbies abduct the main character’s fiancée). This hilarious, dark book has sex, violence and a conspiracy theory that the government wants to turn immigrants into zombies.
Books to sink into on rainy days
Birdie by Tracey Lindberg
This debut Canadian novel is a powerful coming of age story that incorporates elements of Cree folklore and oral tradition. Follow protagonist Bernice as she recovers from sexual abuse by an uncle.

When the Moon is Low by Nadia Hashimi (Wm. Morrow, late June)
Hashimi has created a remarkable portrait of familial love between a mother and teenage son, Afghan asylum seekers who are separated on their journey from Kabul to London. It’s a heartfelt story of hope amidst the despair of a world short on compassion.
The Dust That Falls From Dreams by Louis de Bernières (Knopf Canada, August)
From the author of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin comes a novel about a family shaped by the horrors of the First World War. Evocative period detail.
Angel of Eden by D.J. McIntosh (Penguin)
This new release is the third in the megaselling Mesopotamian series. If you like fantasy thrillers, this is a good excuse to read the first two (The Witch of Babylon and The Book of Stolen Tales).
this is happy by Camilla Gibb (Doubleday, August)
Described as “honest, tender, brutal and kind,” this highly anticipated memoir from the Canadian writer chroniclesthe grief she felt when, at eight weeks pregnant, her partner ended their relationship, shattering the much longed-for family. A very poignant and personal story.
So Many Roads: The Life and Times of the Grateful Dead by David Browne (Da Capo)

Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget by Sarah Hepola (Grand Central Publishing)
From the personal essays editor at Salon.com comes a memoir of her alcoholism by a woman who drank to the point of oblivion. It’s a powerful, funny and poignant book about the battle to get sobre.
Losing the Signal by Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff (HarperCollins)
This is “one helluva story,” according to our reviewer, about the rise and fall of BlackBerry (the Canadian company formerly known as Research in Motion). These Canadian writers bring to life the personalities involved and the technology sector in a thoroughly researched and authoritatively written story.
Empire of Deception by Dean Jobb (Harper Avenue)
A true-crime story anchored in Chicago during the Roaring Twenties, this is the story of Leo Koretz, the lawyer who scammed investors out of $30 million in timberland and non-existent oil wells.

Your next book club pick
Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee (Harper Collins, July)
The sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird may be controversial — the manuscript had been set aside when it was written in the 1950s — but there will certainly be lineups when it’s released on July 14.
Black Feathers by Robert J. Wiersema (Harper Collins, August)
Cassie Weathers, 16, is a runaway on the streets of Vancouver, where there’s a serial killer on the loose. In this latest from Canadian Wiersema (a reviewer for this paper), we have to figure out what is real and what exists only in her night terrors.
His Whole Life by Elizabeth Hay (McClelland & Stewart, August)

This debut novel is about a lonely librarian who finds a letter in her grandmother’s suitcase. We get the narrative of the two women: one set in the current day, one in the early years of the Second World War.
In The Unlikely Event by Judy Blume (Doubleday)
She’s led us through our awkward middle-school issues and now, in her latest book for adults, Blume takes us on a powerful journey through the grieving process. The background is, incredibly, three plane crashes within two months in her hometown of Elizabeth, N.J. A riveting, heartfelt read.
Romance! Comedy! Hillary Clinton!
Sick in the Head by Judd Apatow (Random House)
Why does Jon Stewart do what he does? What makes a good joke to Lena Dunham? Apatow, the filmmaker behind Knocked Up, has compiled his conversations with the biggest names in comedy: a list that includes Mel Brooks, Jerry Seinfeld and Roseanne Barr. Lots of inside stories.
Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari (Penguin Press)
Ansari is used to getting laughs for his standup routine on online dating; here, he takes a more clinical (but still funny) look at the phenomenon using charts, stats (with the help of an NYU sociologist) and personal anecdotes. His advice to men includes such gems as “Don’t be a ‘bozo.’”
It’s never too soon to start your American election reading (the vote is Nov 8, 2016 and Hillary Clinton might well be the Democrat contender). The Vancouver-based Leidl and her co-author look at the doctrine (that the subjugation of women around the world is a threat to U.S. security) in depth.
Me Artsy, edited by Drew Hayden Taylor (Douglas & McIntyre)
An exploration of what inspires the artistic spirit, with 14 First Nations writers, artists, musicians, designers telling how their culture has influenced their art.
Keep the kids happy (and far from any screen)!
All Year Round by Emilie Leduc, translated by Shelley Tanaka (Groundwood Books/Anansi, July, ages 2 to 5)
This delightfully illustrated book takes younger readers through the months of the year by season. It’s a great pick for older siblings who can read to younger ones. If your young one is studying French, pick up the original La ronde des mois, too.
More Boredom Busters by Caroline Fernandez (Cico Kidz)
The Mosquito Brothers by Griffin Ondaatje, illustrated by Erica Salcedo (ages 6 to 9)
Dinnn Needles (say his first name out loud, sounds like a mosquito) is the main character who learns that The Wild, i.e. the big world, outside, isn’t as scary as he thinks. This read is really about family and how to be cool, big questions for developing minds.
The Summer of Letting Go by Gae Polisner (Algonquin Young Readers, teen)
This novel tells the story of Francesca Schnell, whose little brother drowned four years ago when she should have been watching him. It’s emotional and it’s told in a lovely, gentle manner.
Egg: Nature’s Perfect Package by Steve Jenkins & Robin Page (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, all ages)
A picture book with all you need to know about how animals lay eggs. Great for the cottage or the beach in equal measure. | <urn:uuid:c8c8bd2e-0e4f-496d-a7a0-91af3414d262> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://lauramcneill.com/blog/2015/07/03/summer-reads-35-books-not-to-miss/ | 2020-07-08T22:20:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655897707.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708211828-20200709001828-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.935929 | 2,411 | [

Digital agencies are great at understanding analytics. However, many creatives neglect their own data. Determined to deliver for their client’s, they often overlook working on their own business. Therefore missing the opportunity to achieve improved results through better financial data.
Step 1 – Take action
How can you improve what you already have? Most agencies will have some method of measuring performance. These should be the building blocks for improving results.
To achieve momentum you must take action. Identify the right person to drive this internal project. This person needs to be a senior figure. Has unrestricted access to company financial data and has the drive to implement positive change.
As Michael Gerber wrote in his book The E-Myth Revisited ‘work on the business, not just in it’. Many businesses go wrong by not taking enough massive action to break the status quo.
Step 2 – Crank things up
As a minimum agency owners should be meeting monthly for a management meeting Where the previous month’s financials which include, the profit and loss account and balance sheet are reviewed.
How to turbo charge your data
Start with a profit and loss forecast. Review your p&l report and project the next quarters income and expenses. At the end of the month, you can review the actual results vs forecast. Now you can answer questions such as what has worked well? What hasn’t worked well? Why have we over or underachieved against target?
Excel or software?
Excel still seems to be a hugely powerful and popular tool when it comes to data analytics. Businesses often don’t utilise the full power of accounting software such as Xero.
Xero has over 700 apps in its marketplace which can turbocharge the product and provide even better financial data. Budgets and forecasts can be input directly into the platform. This means reports and insights can be prepared at the click of a button. Therefore not having to spend hours preparing manual reports.
Reporting apps such as Futrli, Fluidly, Fathom and Float can provide more powerful bespoke reporting. With an improved User Experience.
The devil’s in the detail
Effectively managing the micro analytics will bring improved performance. Agencies review Google Analytics, or social media engagement for client campaigns. Agencies must bring this level of detail to their own business.
The cash flow forecast
Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is king for your business. You’ll likely be familiar with this phrase. We recommend having a cash flow forecast which is constantly reviewed and amended.
The good news is that software such a Float integrates with Xero and can provide intelligent reporting. This means you don’t have to key data manually into Excel.
The forecast will help you micro-manage cash flows, providing better financial data. Allowing agencies to predict gaps in future cash flow. Then take necessary action before problems arise.
How profitable are your projects? How efficent is your team?
The top agencies will constantly be reviewing this data. Then making the improvements which will, therefore, have a positive impact on the business. These changes may include:
- Increasing price or minimum project value
- Removing unnecessary expenses
- Staff training
- System improvements
- New technology
Having a structured agenda at the management meeting. Reviewing the key reports, then taking action to implement positive change will bring better results.

You sometimes hear Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg talking of his noble ambition to "connect the world", but every country with internet access has its favourite social network, and what's galling for Zuckerberg is that it's not always his.
Let's hear it for the websites pluckily holding out. The popularity of both QZone and RenRen within China doesn't count; Facebook is banned due to government restrictions. Iran, however, chooses to embrace cloob.com, not Zuckerberg's baby. In western Europe, the Netherlands is a lone state battling on all fronts with its Hyves service, while Russia and a number of its former republics shun Facebook in favour of V Kontakte, Draugiem or the wonderfully named Odnoklassniki. But this lot will inevitably succumb sooner or later, and it's Brazil and Japan that are proving Facebook's most stubborn opponents. Orkut, a social media site operated by Google, has been the most popular in Brazil for years; many reasons have been offered for its dominance, one of the most compelling being that it's easier for Portuguese speakers to say. But Japan is another thing altogether.
Barely 2% of the online Japanese population use Facebook. Their loyalties are divided between three sites: Mixi, Gree, and Mobage-Town; all offer the kind of anonymity and pseudonymity Facebook doesn't allow, and as a result a privacy-conscious Japan has given the world's biggest social media site a wide berth. Japanese citizens seem to use the medium differently; for example, one recent survey shows that half of respondents know none of their online acquaintances in real life. And that's a cultural difference that Facebook may never be able to get past. | <urn:uuid:ea617b52-ea9e-4e55-8253-92ae40391406> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://tribune.ie/business/article/2011/jan/16/techweek-join-zuckerbergs-navy-not-if-you-come-fro/ | 2020-07-12T13:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657138718.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712113546-20200712143546-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.961752 | 350 | [

I’m a happy slave in America!
I bake cakes for presidents.
I ain’t got no smarts or schooling
and when I talk, I don’t make sense.
But I’m as happy as can be
’cause I’m baking cakes for presidents.
So, when next you re-write history
tell no lies and I mean no offense.
If you can’t take the truth,
that I baked cakes for presidents,
then that shit is all on you
because slavery is my defense.
How many lies will you tell?
That I came of my own free will?
You with Pinocchio’s nose,
let me present you with my bill!
For over four hundred years,
I’ve been owed for baking that cake.
And as I stand in shackles and chains,
I am a testament to the truth you fake!
Shelby I. Courtland
©2016 Shelby I. Courtland
Happy slaves? Goddamn it! For real? Get the fuck outta here! First, we had textbook publisher McGraw-Hill stating that Africans willingly immigrated to America to work. They were not dragged to AmeriKKKa to become slaves. According to McGraw-Hill, the Africans came here alongside the Irish and other immigrants seeking long-term good paying jobs. You see, this version absolves whitey white asses of knowing that their ancestors were depraved rejects from hell; they are too but that fact should not be bandied about. You see, slavery, rape, whips, chains, shackles and torture don’t have quite the nice ring to it and so tone that shit down. Smooth it over. Make slavery into something that it was not. Make it into a resort. Yeah! That sounds better. Slavery was nothing more than a resort and those Black folks at the resort were as happy as can be, just a baking cakes and some more shit!
Now, let’s cut the bullshit!
Apparently, there is a new book out titled, A Birthday Cake For George Washington and the book ‘suggests’ that a slave named Hercules was just so goddamn happy to be slaving away making a birthday cake for an old wooden toothed bastard by the name of George Washington, that he just could not contain himself! With his skills, he ‘bettered’ himself and should have been proud of it. Oh no! He was not the usual run-of-the-mill slave that had no skills at all and so therefore, had not a thing to say for themselves, no Hercules, the cake baker for George Washington was a cut above the rest and his life was practically lived like he was one of the ‘gentry’. Like hell!
George Washington’s overseer was just as vicious and cruel as any other overseer; just as vicious, depraved and barbaric as today’s goddamn overseers that are stationed in prisons and jails all across this shithole. We are to constantly get bombarded by these atrocious lies; spoon fed fake ass shit and told to eat it up, swallow it down and beg for more. I am fed the fuck up with white motherfuckers who continuously water down history to suit their own fucked up agenda. They will pass shit off as caviar and think nothing of it so long as it makes them look better. Newsfuckingflash! There ain’t a goddamn jewel, cloth of satin or plastic surgeon that could turn you filthy ass bastards into something fit for hell! | <urn:uuid:752afb4a-643b-414d-9ab9-6545fa7c8d94> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://shelbycourtland.wordpress.com/tag/africans-immigrated-to-amerikkka/ | 2020-07-12T14:02:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657138718.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712113546-20200712143546-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.968003 | 754 | [

How to Travel to the Balearic Islands
This popular region of Spain includes Majorca, Ibiza, Menorca, and Formentera. Here’s how to plan—and enjoy—a trip to the archipelago.
The Balearic Islands, a sun-kissed archipelago of islands and islets east of the Spanish mainland, are dominated by four stunning sisters—Majorca, Ibiza, Menorca, and Formentera. Ibiza, the party-loving wild child of the bunch, has a shy side too, by way of hillside hamlets and a storied old town. Majorca, the largest, offers contrasting pleasures; both all-inclusive resorts and laidback, nature-oriented getaways. Menorca, a haven for the low-key traveler, entices with its archeological wonders and a bevy of postcard-perfect beaches. And then there’s Formentera, the tiniest sister, whose ethereal beauty attracts the boho-chic crowd that prefers lazy lounging by gentle turquoise waters over glitzy soirees. Whatever your sensibility, here’s how to make the most of your visit to the Balearics.
When to Go
The Balearic Islands’ prime location at the center of the Mediterranean Sea means a climate characterized by dry, humid summers and mild winters. To avoid the throngs of sun-worshipping crowds but still enjoy some outdoor activities, the best months to visit are May, June, and September when temperatures fluctuate between 60 and 80 degrees. In July and August temperatures can soar up to 90 degrees with 10 to 11 hours of uninterrupted daylight.
As it starts to cool down in October, many seaside businesses shorten their opening hours or close their doors for the winter months. The weather remains mild until springtime, with an average of high of 55 degrees and rainfall increases, albeit slightly, from almost never to up to 10 days in December.
Balearic Islands Travel Tips
- If you plan on exploring each individual island, rent a car in Majorca to take in the scenic coastal routes. During the high season in Ibiza and Menorca, avoid the parking space dilemma by opting to rent a scooter for easy beach access. When in Formentera, Autocares Payas makes stops at several beaches, starting and ending at the main port, La Savina. Prices start at 1.80€ for a single ride and up to 30€ for a pack of 20 trips. Otherwise, do as the locals do and explore by bicycle or on foot.
- El Corte Ingles, Spain’s main department store, has two Palma de Majorca locations, one of which is closed on Sundays. Ibiza and Menorca offer a selection of outlets and high-end boutique shops while Formentera is known for bohemian clothing, accessories, and decorative items. Overall, commercial stores open late Monday-Saturday, while independent shops routinely take siesta breaks any time between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., then re-open until 8 or 9 p.m. Outdoor market openings vary between once a week to daily.
- Restaurant opening times vary by season and location. During the summer season, most Majorca and Ibiza restaurants open daily while Menorca and Formentera tend to close for lunch on Sundays and Mondays. Regardless, reservations are a must this time of the year. Off-season, restaurants adopt a more laidback schedule; some decrease their hours while others close their doors until the spring. Best to call ahead to avoid disappointment.
- Contrary to popular belief, all of Spain’s beaches are public. That being said, resort properties pay hefty sums for the privilege to charge visitors for amenities such as sun beds and umbrellas. Expect to pay between 4-10€ per item, depending on location.
- As of July 2016, an additional tourist tax will be added to all island stays. Fees range from .50€ per person per day for hostels to 2€ for 5-star accommodations, with discounts offered for extended stays. Cruise ship passengers are not immune; charges are incurred at each port of call.
- Travelers planning an extended stay in Palma de Majorca can get complimentary access to the city’s main attractions, 10 free bus trips, and discounts on food and shopping with the Palma Pass (16€ for an express pass; 33€ for a 72-hour pass and 92€ for a family pass).
Getting to the Balearic Islands
American Airlines offers direct flights from both Miami (MIA) and New York (JFK) to Barcelona. A number of other major carriers including United, Delta, and British Airlines offer direct flights from JFK and several connecting options nationwide. From Barcelona, local carriers offer short daily flights to Ibiza, Menorca, and Palma de Majorca Airport, the third largest airport in Spain. Formentera is only accessible by boat from Ibiza.
Major ferry carriers Balearia and Trasmediterránea operate daily overnight ferries from Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia to Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza. Formentera can be reached from Ibiza via Balearia and Transmapi.
Island-hopping is a fairly simple affair with ferries running daily between all the main islands. If you plan on visiting all four, start with Menorca, followed by Majorca, then Ibiza, and finally Formentera. This sequence offers direct travel and features the shortest routes between the islands. Balearia ferry prices start at approximately 20€ for basic seating and up to several hundred for a cabin. In general, rental cars are not permitted on ferries between islands. For seasonal jaunts between Ibiza and Formentera ports, Aquabus offers a no-frills ride starting at 9.50€ each way.
A charming way to see the breathtaking landscape between Palma de Majorca and the photo-perfect town of Sóller is to take the vintage tourist train Ferrocarril de Sóller and/or tram. Prices are 22€ for the train and up to 6€ for the tram, each way. Ibiza has a similar service; a mini locomotive, TrenTuristico Ibiza, (16€) that offers 2 or 3 hour tours around the island’s loveliest towns including Santa Eulalia and Es Cana. The cheery red Mao Express train is easy to spot around Menorca’s capital. It costs 5€ for a tour around town with commentary.
What to Do in Majorca
- Take a scenic drive up the west coast and experience the island’s spellbinding natural attributes. Start at Valldemossa, an ancient village revered for its rustic beauty and for Real Cartuja, the monastery hideaway for 19th-century lovers George Sand and Chopin. Then drive down winding roads of striking limestone formations, pine forests, hidden hamlets, and teal-hued waters surrounded by the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains through Sóller, a majestic hillside town known for its fragrant citrus trees and Art Nouveau architecture, until you reach Cap de Formentor, the northeastern tip of the island, featuring wondrous clifftop views.
- Visit the studio of a surrealist master. Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró (6€ entry fee) is a Palma-based museum dedicated to the works of Catalan surrealist painter Joan Miró. One of the top exhibits is the Sert Studio, Miro’s final workspace filled with dozens of unfinished works.
- Take a tour and taste local wine at select wineries. Inaugurated in 1711, family-owned Bodegues Ribas is the oldest estate on the island, offering visitors a sampling of indigenous varietals such as Prensal and Manto Negro. In contrast, Macia Batle, a modern, more commercial winery, blends local grapes with well-known varieties such as Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Merlot.
Where to Eat & Drink in Majorca
In Majorca, the cultural mores dictate that cocktail rendezvous routinely turn into late-night dinner plans and beyond. So naturally, many bars are strategically placed in hotels or within a restaurant space. A few of the more outstanding venues include the urban-cool Puro Hotel’s Opio Bar, a fashionable spot with tasty cocktails and outdoor DJ beats on weekends. Sky Bar at Hostal Cuba has creative concoctions and arguably the most magnificent views over Palma, and Portals Hills Boutique Hotel’s ultra-chic La Cabana Pool Bar and Lounge is a sleek poolside duplex with floor-to-ceiling windows, daybeds overlooking the sea and more than 2000 wines and champagnes. Honorable mention goes to quirky Abaco, a retro-fab venue set in a 17th-century estate serving excellent cocktails.
- Located in the 27-room Convent de la Missió, a 17th-century former monastery, Marc Fosh’s namesake Michelin-starred restaurant is one of the British-born chef’s three contemporary restaurants in Palma. With a focus on clean Mediterranean flavors, this modern and minimalist restaurant has eye-catching modern art gracing its walls, andis a favorite among the capital’s well-heeled residents.
- The style-centric Zaranda restaurant, decorated in an inviting palette of neutrals accentuated with gold and dark woods, distinguishes itself as the only two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Majorca. It is housed in Castell Son Claret, a renovated 15th-century castle turned luxury hotel in 2013. Chef Fernando Pérez Arellano’s culinary wizardry shines through via his fusion tasting menu with fresh regional meats, fish, cheeses, and spices paired with an extensive list of local and international wines.
- In Port de Alcudia, Jardin chef Macarena de Castro elevates traditional Mediterranean recipes with inventive modern twists. The one-Michelin-starred restaurant is located in a swanky Majorcan-style estate complete with a posh, art-filed dining room, as well as a more relaxed al fresco space with well-tended gardens.
Where to Stay in Majorca
What to Do in Menorca
- Explore the treasure trove of tranquil turquoise coves surrounded by weathered cliffs and pines. Cala Turqueta, boasting sparkling shallow waters encircled by a thick, wild forest; and Cala Pregonda, featuring distinctive reddish-gold sands and micro islets controlling the waves, are among the most memorable.
- Sample the island’s famous cheese, Queso Mahón, made with hand-pressed, unpasteurized milk and aged for one to six months. Visit top producer Subaida, a Georgian-style estate and dairy farm for a tour around the green grounds, a visit to the animal compound, and a tasting of their best products.
- Some the Balearics’ best surviving examples of prehistoric artifacts are found on this island. Visit Trepucó (free) and Talatí de Dalt (4€), both just miles from capital city Maó, and view the relic remains of ancient Talaiotic settlements.
Where to Eat & Drink in Menorca
- Inaugurated in 1979, Bodegas Binifadet remains one of the island’s top authorities when it comes to quality regional wines. Visit the cavernous cellars during a tour of the vineyards, which includes a tasting of three of their best-selling vintages such as the White Merluzo—a fruity combo of four varieties including the local grape, Malvasia—paired with homemade organic products including goat cheese and wine-based jams. Sa Cova is a family-run beach bar and restaurant wedged between rocks on the shore of the postcard-perfect Cala Torret in San Lluis. Stop by for a cocktail or linger for the fresh salads and seafood. At the cliff side Cova d’en Xoroi beach club, 15€ includes a mixed drink, live music, and the best sunset views over striking Cala’n Porter.
- In a spacious setting that combines industrial elements with natural wood furnishings, Smoix is the culmination of chef Miquel Sanchez’s long-standing desire to see people enjoying the simple pleasures of eating well. The retro-rustic eatery’s hearty yet visually appeasing dishes feature a medley of Menorcan staples expertly paired with Mexican influences, a nod to the chef’s partner’s (in life and business) heritage.
- Pan y Vino is a French restaurant with a Catalan soul. Situated in an atmospheric 200-year-old whitewashed farmhouse, the seasonal menu is an inspired mash-up of international concepts. Currently on offer is a spinach crême brulée with duck ham and hazelnuts paired with French or local wine.
Where to Stay in Menorca
- Hotel Tres Sants: For a decidedly cozier but equally charming stay, this 8-room boutique hotel packs a wealth of style and character into an 18th-century mansion. The arched public areas have touches of subdued colors and the Turkish bath spa and a rooftop terrace offer a birds-eye view of historic Cituadella.
- Torralbenc: On a hill overlooking wild flower fields, vineyards, and the Mediterranean, this former turn-of-the-century farmhouse has exteriors that pay tribute to the area’s traditional rural heritage. Inside, however, is a different story. Here, the spacious interiors have been remodeled in hues of taupe and bone with few furnishings or little décor in order to highlight the natural surroundings. Twenty-seven rooms and cottages are available, varying in size and with fantastic views of the enchanting gardens and sea. The restaurant, Sa Taula, set in the one-time wine barrel storage room, is one of the island’s best; utilizing the freshest local products to create its high-quality meals.
- Other country-style hotels of note include Ca na Xini, whose unexpected white on white urban-centric interiors makes it a standout among other country stays, and Alcaufar Vell, a 20th-century manor hotel enjoying a renaissance of sorts by way of culinary accolades bestowed upon the property’s traditional kitchen.
What to Do in Ibiza
- Experience the island’s lesser-known Northern coast on horseback. Located at the 173-acre nature park Es Murta, Ibiza Horse Valley is a unique rehabilitation center for mistreated and abandoned horses offering bareback treks through lush forests, sandy shores, and panoramic mountain trails.
- Shop the original hippy market Punta Arabi, which has 500 stalls of handicraft knick-knackery, craft edibles, and boho décor and clothing. In homage to the hippies that first settled here in the sixties, the 42-year-old seasonal (April-October) Wednesday-only market features an eclectic lineup of live music to serenade visiting crowds.
- Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Dalt Vila, the island’s fortified Phoenician old town on a temperate hill, high above the rowdy revelers below. Climb the narrow cobblestone walkways via the main entrance Portal de Ses Taules to the historic treasures at the summit; the Cathedral de Santa Maria, the Bishop’s Palace, the 16th-century Ibiza Castle and spectacular panoramic views over the city.

Where to Eat & Drink in Ibiza
- Located a short distance from the scenic port in Ibiza Town the Cotton Beach Club Lounge serves Asian-inspired bites, international wines, and cocktails in a relaxed setting. At the seasonal Experimental Beach Club, the stylish wood lounges accentuated with cornflower blue cushions on the sparkling shores of Las Salinas play second fiddle to a lineup of creative cocktails. A popular choice is the spicy Sangre del Mar, an inspired mix of vodka, Pedro Ximenez, Ibiza salt, pepper, watermelon, tomato, and lemon juice. Bar 1805, an eclectic French-themed bar and restaurant on a tiny unassuming street in Ibiza Town, serves a quirky menu of retro cocktails.
- For an exceptional dining experience, Es Tragón, with its eight-man culinary team led by reputable chef Alvaro Sanz, offers three visually-stimulating tasting menus—the most economical, a steal at 45€, features street food from around the world—paired with fine wines in posh surroundings. The haute cuisine kitchen caters to guests in two distinctive settings. There’s a gastro bar for dynamic drinks and inventive bites while the airy dining area is where the magic really happens.
- Located in the sleepy village of Sant Rafael, Le Belle Ibiza pairs typical white-washed exteriors with a decidedly warmer indoor setting of exposed stone walls, plank wood tables, and patterns on seat covers and cushions. The upscale French-Asian fusion cuisine takes a backseat on weekends when a more casual BBQ brunch is offered on plush daybeds.
- The seasonal Amante restaurant takes full advantage of its enviable location on a jagged cliff overlooking the Sol Den Serra Bay. Serving a healthy, contemporary twist on Spanish and Italian classics, the multi-tiered minimalist design restaurant and bar is an all-day luxe alternative to sun-worshipping on the beach.
Where to Stay in Ibiza
- Aquas de Ibiza: Overlooking the peaceful marina in Santa Eulalia, this 112-room spa hotel offers high-end services for the eco-conscious traveler. All the understated design rooms come with private terraces and to ensure maximum comfort, but it’s the Cloud Nine Corner Suites that have exceptional sea views and unlimited access to the deluxe Clarins and Revival Spa, the real star of the property.
- The Giri Residence: For a more intimate experience in the boho-centric town of San Juan, book a suite (only five in total) at this oasis of calm. The Bougainville Suite is the most stunning with a neutral palette of furnishings and artwork, an en-suite bathroom with contrasting stone tub, plenty of natural light, and arguably the most sought-after island amenity: a second-floor private terrace complete with a wood deck dining area and sun loungers. Organically sourced bites are available on the premises. During the high season, walk a short distance to the property's peaceful garden bar and restaurant, the Giri Café.
- Gran Hotel Montesol: For an entirely different look and flavor, book a boutique stay at this dapper neo-colonial classic. Completely refurbished in 2016, the 33-room hotel’s history has garnered attention from UNESCO and is evident throughout its retro-style interiors. The King One Suite features city and marina views, a marble bath with hydro-massage showerhead, private concierge, and as the name suggests, a king-size bed with regal 300-count sheets.
What to Do in Formentera
- Spend a day or several at one of many stunning beaches, each with its own set of amenities; Migjorn, a snorkel-friendly beach, has the longest stretch of white sand, offering the best opportunity to snag a sunbathing spot during the busy summer months. Calo Saona is a quaint bay surrounded by forests, red-hued cliffs, and an upscale hotel. Ses Illetes, arguably the fairest of them all, offers shimmering waters, grass-patched sand dunes, and an exceptional selection of eateries.
- Steal away to neighboring Espalmador, a private islet featuring crescent-shaped coves, Platja S’Alga, a pristine beach with gentle cascading waters, and natural mud baths. Accessible by a short ferry ride from La Savina, this lovely oasis is a total escape from civilization; there are no restaurants or hotels, just a dutiful watchtower, a few seasonal digs, and the peaceful sounds of nature.
- At only 12 miles from entry to end, designated green bike routes make for a smooth ride around the island. In 2015, official routes swelled from 19 to 32; with starting points in La Savina, Sant Francesc and Es Pujols, among others. One of the longest routes takes cyclists on a relaxed ride from the Faro de La Mola lighthouse through a changing landscape of livestock and fig trees, the Can Blai Roman ruins, and Es Caló, a tiny fishing village offering excellent seafood.

The present invention generally relates to an apparatus for mounting a speaker in a television cabinet, and more particularly to an apparatus for reducing acoustic vibrations transmitted from at least one speaker to a television cabinet structure.
Conventional projection televisions are generally embedded in heavy wood cabinets and involve high performance speakers. Usually such heavy wooden cabinets have an isolation enclosure formed therein to accommodate high performance speakers. The heavy weight of a typical projection television optical package and wood cabinet prevents most vibration problems associated with the speaker.
However, the industry now demands smaller television cabinet sizes and at the same time larger screen sizes. Improvements in technology have enabled light weight optical packages and resulted in larger television screens. In order to meet the demand for smaller television cabinets, these improved projection television packages are mounted in compact, stylized television cabinets known as "direct view" television cabinets. Such direct view cabinets are typically manufactured using injection molded plastic parts and are lighter and more aesthetically pleasing than heavy wood cabinets. The undesirable consequence of changing from a heavier wood cabinet to a lighter plastic cabinet is that vibrations generated by the speakers are transmitted to the television cabinet. Such vibration can have a detrimental effect on the optical components of the projection television, which leads to an unsatisfactory viewing condition.
Thus, there is a need in the art for a vibration-reducing speaker mounting device for mounting a speaker in a television cabinet.
1 is a cross-sectional view showing a speaker mounting apparatus.
2 shows in detail the vibration reduction mounting joint;
3 is a front perspective view showing the apparatus of FIG. 1 mounted in a television cabinet;
4 illustrates the apparatus of FIG. 1 mounted in a television cabinet having a speaker mask.

A disadvantage associated with the prior art is overcome by an apparatus for reducing acoustic vibrations generated by at least one speaker in a television cabinet having optical components mounted in the television cabinet.
Specifically, an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an enclosure pod portion for mounting at least one speaker therein, the pod portion having a plurality of mounting joints for mounting the pod portion in a television cabinet. The enclosure pod portion only contacts the television cabinet at the plurality of mounting joints, leaving a substantial air gap therebetween. In addition, the enclosure pod portion only contacts the television cabinet via vibration damping rubber isolation rings. As such, there is no direct contact between the enclosure pod portion and the television cabinet, thereby reducing the transmission of vibration generated by the speaker directly to the television cabinet.
The teachings of the present invention will be readily understood by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
For ease of understanding, the same reference numerals have been used, wherever possible, to refer to the same elements that are commonly indicated in the figures.
1 is a cross-sectional view showing a speaker mounting apparatus 100 for reducing the transmission of vibration generated by a speaker to a television cabinet. Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below in connection with a compact, stylized television cabinet (hereafter referred to as a "direct view" television cabinet), it is to be understood that the present invention can be used generally in television cabinets. In addition, the present invention can accommodate several speaker structures including (but not limited to) one midrange speaker and one tweeter per audio channel.
Apparatus 100 is used in television cabinet 102 to reduce the transmission of vibration generated by speaker 108 to television cabinet 102. In one embodiment of the invention, the television cabinet 102 includes a direct view form-factor cabinet for receiving projection television. Television cabinet 102 is illustratively injection molded plastic that is easy to transmit vibrations that have a detrimental effect on vibration-sensitive components (not shown), such as optical, electrical, and / or mechanical components of the projection television. Manufactured using parts. Such vibration sensitive components include, but are not limited to, reflectors, light sources, etc., which cause the television screen to shake or momentarily out of focus if vibration is applied.
As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus 100 of the present invention includes a speaker section 110, a flange 120 surrounding the speaker connection 110, and a plurality of mountings (two shown). An enclosure pod 104 having a joint 106 is included. The speaker 108 is mounted to the speaker connection 110 of the enclosure pod 104. Enclosure pod portion 104 prevents the propagation of acoustic energy generated behind speaker 108 to television cabinet 102. Enclosure pod portion 104 is mounted to television cabinet 102 to contact cabinet 102 only at each of the plurality of mounting joints 106, leaving a substantial air gap 122 therebetween. Air gap 122 reduces direct vibration transmission by reducing fluid-structure interaction between enclosure pod portion 104 and television cabinet 102.
The television cabinet 102 includes a speaker mask 112 that is mounted to the cabinet 102 in front of the enclosure pod 104. A damping member 114 is mounted on the flange 120 of the enclosure pod portion 104 and disposed between the speaker mask 112 and the enclosure pod portion 104. The speaker mask 112 presses the damping member to form an air channel 124 for damping the vibration induced in the mask 112 and directing acoustic energy out of the television cabinet 102. The damping member 114 includes a rubber bulb channel gasket or similar type of elastic device suitable for damping vibrations transmitted from the speaker to the speaker mask 112.
The speaker mask 112 is manufactured using an example injection molded plastic part that is easy to transmit vibrations. The mask 112 includes a plurality of mounting posts 116 (one shown) for mounting the mask 112 to the television cabinet 102. Each of the plurality of mounting posts 116 is pressed into a rubber grommet 118 or similar type of elastic device disposed between each post 116 and the television cabinet 102. As such, the rubber grommet 118 prevents vibrations induced in the speaker mask 112 from being transferred into the television cabinet 102.
2 shows in detail one of the plurality of mounting joints 106. The first rubber break ring 206 is disposed between the enclosure pod portion 104 and the television cabinet 102 to prevent hard plastic contact therebetween. Enclosure pod portion 104 is mounted to the television cabinet via mounting screws 202 or similar type of securing device. The second rubber disconnect ring 204 is disposed between the head of the mounting screw 202 and the enclosure pod portion 104. The enclosure pod portion 104 contacts the television cabinet 102 only at each of the plurality of mounting joints 106 and only through the first and second rubber disconnect rings 206, 204. As such, the direct transmission of vibrations from the enclosure pod portion 104 to the television cabinet 102 is thereby reduced. Those skilled in the art can readily devise alternative substitutes for either the first or second rubber break ring 206, 204, or both the first and second rubber break ring, including any elastic device.
3 shows a front perspective view of the speaker mounting apparatus 100 of the present invention mounted to the television cabinet 102. Enclosure pod portion 104 is mounted to speaker enclosure connection 302 of television cabinet 102. 4 shows the apparatus 100 of the present invention mounted to a television cabinet 102 having a speaker mask 112.
While various embodiments embodying the teachings of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, those skilled in the art can readily devise many other various embodiments embodying such teachings.

10" (25 cm.) A bisque head child doll with sculpted blonde hair, blue glass eyes, dark eyeliner, blushed cheeks, closed mouth, firm carton torso and legs, wire upper arms, metal hands, is standing upon a tinplate base with three spoked wheels. When wound, the base moves forward and in circles in a merry manner. Condition: generally excellent, mechanism functions well. Comments: Vichy, circa 1865. Value Points: charming early mechanical toy with rare sculpted hair, wearing original silk costume in the court manner, with flower-bedecked coiffe. | <urn:uuid:c31dc32c-e435-4588-b91e-9123ac40c1af> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.theriaults.com/charming-french-mechanical-toy-vichy-original-costume | 2020-07-03T10:58:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655881984.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703091148-20200703121148-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.88975 | 125 | [

I went into a skyscraper and wanted to call the lift, next to me was a guy. My hands were full. Bag, briefcase, car key, papers and phone. No wonder that my documents fell to the ground. He helped me pick them up, I barely would have been able to do so otherwise, without placing all my stuff onto the ground. I was extremely thankful and told him so several times.
Then he noticed that we wanted to travel to the same floor, after all we had to select the floor number before the journey. He also commented on the fact that we would be travelling to the same floor. That didn’t bother me. I’m not scared to travel in an escalator with a guy. When the lift arrived and I entered he stayed outside.
Surprised I asked him whether he wasn’t going to join. He said no. I was taken aback and asked him why and whether it was because of me.
He smiled whimsically and said that he is a lawyer and for several years has done everything to avoid travelling in an escalator with women that he didn’t know personally and that he is specialised in defending cases of sexual harassment.
‘Woah!’ I thought and said bye to him. I travelled alone in the lift.
In what kind of a world do we live if two strangers are scared to travel in the same elevator. This idea makes me feel very uncomfortable. In the past I could imagine that women used to be scared but today I realise that this fear has spread like a disease.

What’s the Problem?
When traveling around the world, you will find that you can’t fully access content from popular channels that stream movies online, stream TV shows or even stream sporting events.
Why is that you might be asking?
The simple fact is that while other countries often have their own versions of popular content channels, their libraries are much smaller. So as often happens when you are traveling abroad, you are unable to watch your favorite shows and have access to much smaller movie libraries on the channels you already subscribe to.
How Does a VPN Help Stream Movies Online?
When traveling outside of the U.S., a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is your best bet.
Most VPN providers use a network of widely spread access points, hosted on different computers. For example, InvinciBull from Finjan Mobile operates out of locations in dozens of nations around the world.
It’s because of this geographical spread that you’re able to choose which country that you virtually connect to online each time you use your VPN.
Practically all VPNs will give you the option of connecting from the U.S.A. – and it’s because of this that it’s possible for you to tune into the U.S. versions of the streaming services you subscribe to in order to catch the latest U.S. produced movies and television.
The streaming services see your Virtual Private Network connection (or IP address) as one in the U.S. so you are able access all of the content you pay for, just like when you are at home!
What Are the Content Providers Doing About This?
To complicate matters, some streaming services have recently taken steps to frustrate the attempts of VPN users outside the United States by blocking known VPN servers. Most VPN providers are continually expanding their IP addresses to stay out in front of this restriction.
So a VPN Allows Me To Stream Movies Online. What Other Content Can I Access Using a VPN?
And it isn’t just movies and television. Live music and sporting events are also streamed regularly on various services – and regional restrictions affecting viewers outside the U.S. (or wherever the service is based) can be slapped on these, as well. A bit of clever usage of your Virtual Private Network’s geographical spread (the network’s in the U.S., so connect from Philadelphia, etc.), and you’ll be able to stay in touch with events at the Olympics, Davis Cup, or whatever.
As long as you are a paid subscriber to a content provider, a VPN can help you stream movies online and access other great online content from wherever you are.
How Can InvinciBull™ Help Me Stream Movies Online?
You’ll probably want to be able to stream movies online from wherever you are, and at any time of day – and InvinciBull can help you with this. A paid subscription to the InvinciBull service gives you an unlimited usage allowance on all of your devices. So if you’re on the road or at the office, you can tune into your favorite content from your tablet or mobile phone.
