A new year is here!! It’s time to clean up the sewing area and start brainstorming projects for 2019. Before I dive into another fresh year of sewing, I like to share my annual 5 latest “must have” tools and notions for doll clothes sewing (or any sewing really!) These simple tools can make sewing smaller doll clothes a little easier and you can find all of them on Amazon. Click here to see my list from last year, and here to see my list from 2017.
My annual list of best notions and tools for sewing doll clothes.
This brand new tool, made by Patty Young, is a game changer for doll clothes. I LOVE THIS TOOL. In a facebook group one day, Patty asked what tools we would like to see made that had her fabric designs on them. I suggested a gripping, foreceps type of tool and she not only picked my idea, she sent me one when it was actually produced about a year later! This handy tool is well worth the wait, and also the price tag (about $12). You will use it for all sorts of things- mostly to pull that slipped elastic back out of the casing, or to turn a tiny doll bodice right side out after you sew it together with just one little pull.
This little tiny iron really packs some punch for the price. It gets super hot, has a steam option, and doesn’t turn off by itself (which is an advantage and disadvantage for sure!). I first used one at a sewing retreat a few years back. We plugged it in and left it on all week long. Lightweight and tiny, it got the job done and is a perfect companion to your doll clothes sewing tools. I think the difference from some others on the market is that it’s a travel iron not a craft iron.
Everyone needs a pair of nice, sharp, high quality fabric scissors. You know the ones- the ones that you lock up yourself each night or threaten bodily harm to anyone found using them for anything other than fabric? I started using KAI scissors with my paper crafting. Strong and sharp, I found a pair that was a bit shorter and they are my go to for all of my fabric cutting. I own three pairs!
I know I’ve mentioned this little gadget before, but yes, this year, my ruffler foot is on my top five list. It’s just so quick to gather up a doll skirt (like 15 seconds quick!) that is really pays for itself over and over. I’ve kept a spreadsheet of some of my common skirt length settings (to make the skirt match up with the bodice for example) so I don’t have to figure it out each time. This foot is also great for the popular ruffled sleeves too, and makes putting a ruffle on a full skirt a breeze! Be sure to get the one that is correct for your specific sewing machine make and model.
I believe I have an omnigrid ruler in every size they make- from 1 x6 all the way up to 24 x 24 inches. However, even with multiple rulers right at my finger tips, this 4×8 inch one is the perfect size for so many of my doll clothes needs. It’s easy to use to extend a pattern (make pants from shorts, or long sleeves from short sleeves for example) or for cutting straps, waistbands, and skirts with my rotary cutter. Keep this handy ruler right next to your work area.
So there’s my Favorite Five for 2019. Use these few tools to make sewing your doll clothes a little easier and a little more fun. We’re going to have a great sewing year ahead, stop by again soon! Check out my other lists by clicking the photos below.
Happy Fall Y’All. Do your dolls need some warmer weather clothes? Get creative with your doll outfits and read on for some pumpkin spice inspiration with just one basic, print pinafore. Think outside the box and mix and match the pieces in your doll’s wardrobe to create a different vibe!
Make a fall outfit for your 18 inch American Girl doll with easy sewing patterns from Oh Sew Kat!
I made this Halloween themed Sugar n Spice pinafore from this fun fabric late last Fall. I never even took any photos of it. I pulled it out today, and had some fun dressing different dolls in it to see what kind of looks I could create.
Halloween Doll Clothes- make one pinafore and dress it up so many different ways.
First up is Nicki. Nicki is wearing the Playtime Peasant Top with 3/4th sleeves and some fun, slouchy front black boots. (Side note/ Public Service Announcement: These boots left black marks on my Grace’s legs last year when I left her in them for a few weeks. They have been moved to the “photograph and remove pile” in my dollhouse! ) I also tried it with some fun AG candy corn tights and black Ugg boots.
See more posts about the Sugar n Spice Pattern here, here, and here. And don’t miss this PATTERN HACK to make it into a cute peplum top!
Sugar and Spice is Twice as Nice when sewing for Pumpkin Spice
Next up is Kelly. She is wearing the same pinafore, over a Jumping Jack turtleneck shirt. With a pair of black leggings (made by American Girl) and her “chucks”, she’s ready for a fun, fall afternoon. Or pair the pinafore with knee socks and mary jane shoes for a perfect Halloween party dress outfit.
Classic dress looks for fall- Try a simple dress with Halloween Print pinafore
Finally, Luciana is wearing the full Sugar n Spice ensemble. The Halloween pinafore over a yellow Sugar n Spice dress to help the colors pop! When you purchase the Sugar n Spice pattern, you get the patterns for the dress, the pinafore, and 5 “dress up” accessories to really let your creativity shine! Find the pattern HERE.
Bring on the PUMPKIN SPICE!!! A brand New Sewing Pattern is now available- get your Wellie Wisher dolls ready for the cool, fall weather with this easy, pull on style jumper. Make it reversible and get two dresses in one!
It’s hard to believe that fall is just around the corner. The mornings are not quite crisp yet, but we know it’s coming soon. It’s time to shift from beaches and boardwalks to back to school, football, and fall colors! What better way to start than some pretty dresses for dolls! Be sure to pin the images so you can find them later! 🙂
Make Beautiful Fall Dresses for Dolls with Easy Sewing Patterns by Oh Sew Kat!
I used the Sugar n Spice pattern for both of these dresses. For the 18 inch sized dress, I added the placket for the buttons using this method here. You just have to remember to cut the front bodice differently (lining does not change).
I only made two dresses, one in each size. But I just love how this fabric looks so different depending on what doll wore it. Who do you think wore it best?
Fall Fashions for 18 inch Dolls- Beautiful in Batik!
I used this photo from Pinterest for inspiration. Here’s another one. Based on the first photo, I am using View C, the princess seamed option, but I really think that any of these views can be easily adapted to create this daisy trimmed look. The second photo definitely looks like View B.
Start with the Sunshine Dress pattern. This pattern has had a recent update. Check your file and make sure that it says Copyright 2018 at the bottom of the front cover. If it doesn’t, you can find the updated version where you purchased the pattern, or contact me.
Raise the neckline by quite a bit- I used almost a half inch for the 18 inch size doll. Don’t forget the lining piece needs to match too!
Skip the top stitching after assembling the dress front. It would be covered by the trim. If you want your trim to disappear into the seam at the shoulders (and not go down the back), you need to add it over your seams before you stitch the front to the backs as I did here. If you want the trim to go over the shoulder and down the back, it will be attached after the dress front and back are joined but before you do the hem. I just attached mine to the front (to conserve my trim mostly). Add the daisy trim with transparent tape to ensure you have the look you want; you can follow the seam lines if you have them, but if you don’t, put the trim where you think it should go. Stitch in place. I used a machine and just carefully stitched down the center of my flowers. You can also add your trim by hand. If the trim was wider, or for a real girl and would be washed, I would put a row of stitching down each side to hold it securely.
Raise the hem by an inch or even more. Dresses for girls were short then too! (I usually do this after the dress is sewn together unless I’ve done it before and have a good measurement. Once the dress is done, it’s easy to (use a ruler) and trim off the right amount for right look for the era.) .
Optional: Add lace (again by hand?) around the neckline.
One final note. I do not profess that this pattern is historically accurate. I found an image on Pinterest and used my own pattern, which looks very similar. However, in the world of child’s play, “close enough” is usually enough to save you a few dollars at the American Girl Store if you have a young friend pleading for Julie Albright or items from her time period and collection. When my daughter was very young, and a new doll was released, I usually kept her focused on who she already had with just a few new doll dresses to fit the new era or theme. The one that comes to my mind is when Elizabeth Cole, Felicity Merriman’s best friend was released in a beautiful pink, ball gown. I was able to make and buy a few colonial dresses for my daughter’s Mia doll, and off we went to Williamsburg happy as can be. Elizabeth never did join our doll family by the way. 😉

Surviving without a family in RTD’s orphan documentaries
As modern warfare takes its toll on the civilian population, and after the fighting is over and the dead counted, many children are left to fend for themselves. Many of these orphans are without any extended family, with no one to look after and support them. In Iraq, computer engineer Hicham Zahabi was so appalled by the hundreds of children living on the streets he opened an orphanage to give them a home and safety. The orphanage for boys is also a school, and Hicham is determined his charges will grow to be educated useful members of a rebuilt Iraqi society. | <urn:uuid:edf37fa9-c4a3-4749-8066-0cd3cd440363> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://rtd.rt.com/tags/orphans-documentaries/ | 2020-07-07T10:28:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891884.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707080206-20200707110206-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.978239 | 131 | [

Just as all other purposes, you can find a number of Android Apps that can help you to take screenshots of Android Smartphone as well. Nevertheless, the fact has it that each Smartphone has a dedicated key to take screenshots by default settings, but most of Android users seem to unaware about those key combinations. In this post, we shall tell you methods to take screenshots on some of popular Android Smartphones without installing any applications. We will also mention if you can use those key combinations for other devices as well, as it is not possible to list out all those Android devices in market.
Taking Screenshots on Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung offers different ways to take screenshots on your Samsung Galaxy S3, and you can choose best according to your convenience.

Pressing these two keys should be simultaneous, or you will have your Smartphone turned off or volume decreased. You can use the same method to take screenshot on Sony Xperia P and Sony Xperia Z as well.

Watch out, I am attending a developer session! Mainly because Scott Hanselman is the speaker and I totally love his style. Developers!
This session will give us a broad overview of all the new things for devs - so we start with the current options of Visual Studio:
12.7 Mio downloads of Visual Studio
2 Mio Visual Studio Code
4 Mio users of Visual Studio Team Services
Demo 1: Modernization
Porting sounds boring, modernization is a cooler word for it.
Transition from .NET Framework 2, 3, 4 to .NET Core - Visual Studio support all of them.
First demo on a Mac, running the CLI to create projects, restore packages - awesome.
Demo 2: Visual Studio 2015 and future improvements
Run with multiple browser. Browser link now syncs scrolling and user inputs across browsers - that is cool.
Demo 3: Containers
Docker is confusing for most enterprises, but with the windows version it is much easier to run. Even integrated in Visual Studio into the “run with” dialog. The solution is then built and put into a docker image - even with debugging support.
Demo 4: Azure Integration
Staging slots - run copies of your website in parallel and switch them back and forth into production aka. hot swaps. Then he shows “testing in production” where you can load balance e.g. 25% of all the traffic will be directed to staging instead of production. You can even automate that with powershell, eg. send them to staging, check for errors and in that case send them back to production. What could go wrong?!
Because so many viewers accessed Scott’s public website, he did a live scale out with the push of a button. Awesome.
Demo 5: Portable Code and native apps
Scott shows another demo were 90% of his code is in a portable class library. The rest of the code is device specific and stored in separate projects for IOS, Androws, Windows Phone or UWP. Live debug run on an iPhone simulator running iOS 10.
Demo 6: Xamarin Test Cloud
Testing your app on multiple devices is effortless with Xamarin test cloud, you get memory consumption, error logs, videos of your tests - crazy stuff.
Demo 7: SharePoint Online
Scott show a document stored on SharePoint (!!!). Once the document is saved it will trigger an Azure Function app (server-less code) to notify clients that the document has changed. Automate the processes here is the main point.
Demo 8: Azure Functions & Azure Cognitive Services
Drop an image to Azure blog storage, it gets processed by the azure function, sent to Azure Cognitive Service and alter the image to detect emotions.
Demo 9: Visual Studio Installer
Goal is to create a new installing experience with reduced installation time.
Demo 10: Desktop App Converter
Brief introduction how to convert an existing application to a windows 10 store apps.
Scott presented so fast and friction-less, it is tough to capture 10% in this post. Developer’s life is so much more fun right now.
This session was super enlightening, go watch it once its online! | <urn:uuid:7145c43e-3d8d-4f4a-900e-019cf67d5c96> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://melcher.dev/2016/09/an-overview-of-the-microsoft-application-platform-for-developers/ | 2020-07-09T03:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655898347.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709034306-20200709064306-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.872855 | 674 | [

Equity Gains In India To Be Limited In 2020 As Economy Slows: Reuters Poll
The BSE Sensex index was forecast to rise another 6.7% to 43,645 by the end of next year from Monday’s close of 40,889. It has gained over 13% in the past two months and repeatedly set record highs after the government announced several measures, including a corporate tax cut.
That expected rise in stocks in the Nov. 11-26 poll of 50 strategists would be half the rally so far this year and similar to the average rate for fixed deposits – a relatively safe asset – in Indian banks.
“The slew of measures announced by the government in recent months and the Reserve Bank of India reducing rates should result in only a very gradual recovery in demand over the next 12 months,” said Sher Mehta, director at Virtuoso Economics.
“As a result, the pace of economic recovery and earnings growth is likely to be subdued over the next two years. This in turn should cap stock market gains over the next 12-month period and beyond.”
When asked what would most likely drive Indian stocks over the next 12 months, a significant minority of respondents – 17 of 48 – said it would be a recovery in demand and 15 analysts said global capital inflows.
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have turned net buyers of Indian equities after being net sellers in July and August. Capital inflows in domestic equities touched a seven-month high in November, according to data from National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL). | <urn:uuid:7d2898b3-9112-4347-96fa-d693e2aeb4a6> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.wikus.org/2019/11/27/equity-gains-in-india-to-be-limited-in-2020-as-economy-slows-reuters-poll/ | 2020-07-09T04:56:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655898347.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709034306-20200709064306-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.950909 | 326 | [

I’ve started this post in my head several times beginning the day I ordered our chicks from Meyer Hatchery. I wanted to share how I anticipated the arrival of 10 Buff Orpingtons and 5 Welsummers along with the anxiety of it all and the realization that I wasn’t prepared.
Well wait. I was, but my brain gets the best of me and I’m sure like any new mom, we want the best for our new little ones. I’m a first time chicken mom and I was a wreck. When would the post office call me upon their arrival? Will the box be chirping or quiet? (Please don’t let me get a quiet box) Do they have enough water? Can everyone get to the food? Why isn’t that one moving? Are they warm enough? Too warm? | <urn:uuid:3be5589e-dd8a-467a-8704-bfb7bdaebd36> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://lifeinthesound.com/2017/03/ | 2020-07-10T21:23:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655912255.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710210528-20200711000528-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.933745 | 178 | [

WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT: A group of teenagers made a grisly discovery which led to a police investigation while they were out exploring a beach when filming a TikTok video.
“Something traumatic happened that changed my life,” US TikTok user @ughhenry wrote alongside the video.
The video starts off with one of the teens at the beach in West Seattle, Washington then pans to rocks near the edge of a waterway where a suitcase is lying.
“Randonaut sent us to this part of the beach... and we found this black suitcase,” the caption on the video says.
Two girls are then seen approaching the suitcase in the video.
“We were joking that maybe the suitcase would have some money,” the next caption reads, as one of the girls is seen climbing down to where the suitcase is, while the others stand on what appears to be a jetty.
Using a stick, the teenagers open the suitcase, remarking on the horrible stench.
Inside the suitcase, is a black plastic bag and the next caption explains the smell was “overwhelming” once they opened the suitcase.
One of the girls is seen calling the police, and the person filming the TikTok speculates about whether the contents are food, or a dead body.
“By this point we were getting a little scared and nervous,” the next caption on the video reads.
The video then shows police arriving at the crime scene and then a screenshot of the statement issued on the Seattle Government’s website.
The statement, confirms the contents of the bag were in fact, human remains.
“Detectives are currently investigating after several bags containing human remains were located near the water in the 1100 block of Alki Avenue SW this afternoon,” the statement says.
“Police responded after receiving a call of a suspicious bag on the beach. Another bag was located in the water.
“Once the contents were determined to be remains, detectives responded to begin their investigation.”
In addition to the police, the Harbour Patrol and the King County Medical Examiner’s Office are assisting with the investigation, which the statement says is “active and on-going”.
Local news station, KOMO reported it was unclear if the suitcases were dumped on the beach, or if the tide had carried them to shore.
What is ‘Randonauting’?
In the comments, TikTok user @ughhenry said while they were laughing in the video, it was their way of dealing with the situation, saying they are now having trouble sleeping.
The TikTok references a “randonaut” sending the group to that location and people in the comments of the video were questioning why no one was “talking about the fact randonaut led them here”.
“Randonauting is using a random number generator to produce specific coordinates within a set radius of your current location that you can travel to as a way of exploring the world around you,” Wired explains.
“People gather these coordinates through a dedicated app, Randonautica, where they can further define what they want to encounter.”
In the comments of the TikTok another person said they went “randonauting” a few days ago and they found a dog off its leash, they later claim they found out the dog’s owner was dead.

The UK economic system is on target for a V-shaped restoration from the coronavirus disaster although the chance of a chronic interval of unemployment stays, in keeping with the Bank of England’s chief economist.
Britain is extensively anticipated to have entered a steep recession consequently of the lockdown – however it seems to be bouncing again extra shortly than beforehand anticipated, Andy Haldane stated in a webinar speech.
He stated the economic system was benefiting from a rebound in shopper confidence since restrictions started to ease.
Referring to the query of whether or not the downturn can be U-shaped – indicating a chronic downturn – or V-shaped with a sharp bounce-back, Mr Haldane stated: “It is early days, but my reading of the evidence is so far, so V.”
The remarks got here as official figures confirmed the economic system had carried out even worse than initially estimated within the first quarter of the yr, shrinking by 2.2% within the January-March interval.
Data for April – the primary full month of lockdown – exhibits GDP then plummeted by an unprecedented 20.4%.
But Mr Haldane stated the restoration for each UK and international economies had come “sooner and faster” than the Bank of England had anticipated in May.
However he added that dangers “remain considerable”.
“Of these risks, the most important to avoid is a repeat of the high and long duration unemployment rates of the 1980s, especially among young people,” stated Mr Haldane.
The Bank of England’s newest forecast means that GDP will contract by 20% within the first half of the yr – lower than the 27% predicted final month.
However, governor Andrew Bailey warned towards getting “carried away” because the Bank injected another £100bn of quantitative easing into the economic system. | <urn:uuid:eca21d65-e153-423c-875b-a05f2e321d9f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://newsbuzz.co.uk/general/so-far-so-v-bank-of-englands-chief-economist-sees-sharp-bounce-back/ | 2020-07-14T20:12:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657151197.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714181325-20200714211325-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.964458 | 387 | [

MONTGOMERY, AL—The Alabama Department of Education reported Wednesday that its sole textbook has begun to seriously show its age after more than a decade of heavy daily use at the state's 1,500 public schools.
Officials said the decrepit tome, titled Introduction To Civics, has recently become so tattered that it is now nearly unusable for the 748,000 students enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade who are required to share it.
"When you have every child in Alabama using the same textbook, there's bound to be a certain amount of wear and tear over time," said State Superintendent Dr. Thomas R. Bice, lifting the book's cover to reveal the thin strip of adhesive barely connecting the badly disfigured piece of cardboard to its spine. "But with our book in this condition—pages partially ripped, some separated from the binding and jammed elsewhere in the wrong sequential order, others missing entirely—it becomes difficult to maintain an effective curriculum."
"Unfortunately, what we have here is a book whose viability as Alabama's primary teaching tool has just about run its course," he added.
Officials from the cash-strapped state explained that because Introduction To Civics is touched by close to 1.5 million hands during a typical school day, many of its 358 pages—which cover the basic structure of American government as well as the rights and duties of citizens—are so caked in food and beverage stains and blanketed with crude depictions of human genitals that entire chapters have been rendered illegible.
In addition, high demand for the textbook has resulted in a constant conflict of availability. With schools across the 50,000-square-mile state struggling to coordinate class schedules in order to drop the book off and pick it up at the right times, many students are forced to wait hours before instruction can begin.
According to sources, a student will often leave the book in his or her locker by accident, thereby preventing 300,000 others from doing their homework that night.
"This week I really needed the textbook for a big math test we have coming up, but the seniors were using it to study for their AP Chemistry exam, and after that it had to go to some sixth-grade Spanish class down in Mobile," Montgomery-area 15-year-old Kyla Richter said. "When I finally got it, I only had 11 seconds to do as much cramming as I could before I had to hand it off again."
"I think I'm going to fail," she added.
However necessary they may be, plans to replace Introduction To Civics have set off a fierce debate within the Alabama education establishment. Fiscally-minded officials have argued that the state's textbook could easily be repaired, as it has been many times in the past, with a couple bottles of Wite-Out and a roll of Scotch tape.
Jefferson High School principal Trevor Mills, however, believes cost shouldn't be the only factor considered when it comes to the one book forming the pillar of the state's education system.
"Look, I'm no stranger to the economic reality we're living in, with funding being slashed left and right, but we owe it to our kids to provide them with something better," said Mills, whose hire in 1999 coincided with the state's acquisition of Introduction To Civics from a used bookstore. "Maybe it's a lot to ask, but $40 for a new copy would be a huge, huge help."
"A replacement book would greatly enrich our students' educations and give our hard-working teachers the single most important resource they need to do their jobs effectively," he continued. "All 12 of them depend on it." | <urn:uuid:8fdae1a5-7772-4547-97f8-1601edeec2e0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.theonion.com/alabama-school-systems-lone-textbook-falling-apart-1819573499 | 2020-07-14T21:03:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657151197.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714181325-20200714211325-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.97893 | 752 | [

SHOWTIME SPORTS TO PRESENT DILLIAN WHYTE VS. DERECK CHISORA HEAVYWEIGHT REMATCH SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22 LIVE ON SHOWTIME
NEW YORK – December 18, 2018 – SHOWTIME Sports will present the highly anticipated rematch between top-rated heavyweight contenders Dillian Whyte and
Dereck Chisora this Saturday, December 22 live on SHOWTIME at 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT. As with all SHOWTIME programming, the event will air live on air and via the networks’ streaming service.
Whyte (24-1, 17 KOs) and Chisora (29-8, 21 KOs) will go toe-to-toe once again in a rematch of one of 2016’s best fights, live from London’s The O2 on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL. The all-British affair between the bitter rivals has been brewing since Whyte narrowly edged Chisora in a back-and-forth slugfest that necessitated a rematch.
“SHOWTIME continues to lead the industry by delivering more of the most compelling boxing events from around the world to our premium cable subscribers and online
streaming customers,” said Stephen Espinoza, President, SHOWTIME Sports. “This network has televised all of the most important heavyweight fights during the division’s renaissance and we are proud to join Matchroom Sports in delivering Whyte-Chisora II to our audience. Their first fight was action-packed from bell to bell. Now, with the stakes as high as they have ever been for both men, this bout promises to be even better. I hope that the boxing pundits have not yet cast their vote for Fight, Knockout and Round of the Year. Saturday’s matchup may challenge some of this year’s best.”
The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL coverage will be provided by Sky Sports Box Office with host Brian Custer and Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood calling the action.
The stakes are high in the rematch, as both Whyte and Chisora have been working toward world title opportunities against IBF, WBA and WBO Champion Anthony Joshua and WBC Champion Deontay Wilder. Whyte holds the No. 1 ranking in the WBC and WBO, as well as the WBA’s No. 4 position. Chisora is ranked No. 5 by both the WBA and IBF, as well as No. 9 by the WBC. Their first matchup was widely regarded as the best heavyweight matchup of 2016, and round five of their “sensational fight” earned Round of the Year honors from ESPN. | <urn:uuid:18088504-fbe8-49ad-997a-91936952d2c2> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://dev.joehandpromotions.com/showtime-sports-to-present-dillian-whyte-vs-dereck-chisora-heavyweight-rematch-saturday-december-22-live-on-showtime | 2020-07-03T16:13:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882634.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703153451-20200703183451-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.935211 | 570 | [

Have I ever told you about my friend Boris Meltsner? I ran into Boris unexpectedly while I was darting around the hallways at AXPONA 2019, and he quickly pulled me into his room where he was showing new products from companies called Amped and Acoustique Quality loudspeakers, and much more. For many years, Boris was the main tech we used to service all our brands at Colleen Cardas Imports, and he did an incredible job. He fixed everything that landed on his test bench, did it quickly, and knew exactly what caused the problem in the first place. His prices were always fair. He’s also an authorized technician for such companies as McIntosh and Adcom. He’s good at what he does.
Boris does more in high-end audio than just service components. Over the last few years he’s been distributing some brands from Russia and Eastern Europe and elsewhere, brands that aren’t commonly known in North America. Years ago I walked into one of his rooms, and he had a fuzzy spherical speaker with a distinctly ’70s aura that sounded very, very nice. (He said he’s going to send me a pair now just for fun.) At AXPONA 2019 he participated in three rooms with a few of his associates, most notably Karel Svoboda who makes Acoustique Quality speakers in the Czech Republic. One common denominator in all three locations was a rather nondescript metal box of an amp called the Amped 2400.
An amp for all seasons
The Amped 2400, which retails for $4000, is one of those Class D muscle amps you need when you want to throw a big party, or drive an exceptionally insensitive pair of loudspeakers. Power rating is 400wpc into 8 ohms, or 800 into 4 ohms, and yet it only weighs 18 pounds. In my SET days, it was one of those Class D amps I used to balk at while muttering “watts are cheap.” But as I started listening to the Amped 2400 in a wide variety of systems, I starting thinking of another mantra, one said more recently by folks more open-minded than me: “Class D is starting to get really good.”
Indeed, this is one of the first times I’ve listened to one of these latest generation Class D amps. I knew that much of the trademark dryness and grain through the mids and treble were supposed to be gone, and it was. I kept trying to hear that trace of electrical mischief that always seems to permeate the background of these types of amps, but the Amped always sounded airy, spacious, quiet and in control. While the systems themselves ranged in quality from a basic system with an Adcom preamp, LA Audio CD player and KEF speakers, to some of the more ambitious systems (including a beautiful tube amp from KR Audio, as you see), and some of those Acoustique Quality (which are quite superb, by the way.)
Fortunately, Boris is going to send me an Amped 2400 to try out at home. Hopefully he’ll send me both Amped and Acoustique Quality–that was a great-sounding combo. 800 watts per channel seems a little scary to a modestly-powered tube amp guy like me, but who knows–I might dig the power! | <urn:uuid:dd6e6ab7-b945-4ba0-902b-4f7d3eac2460> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2019/04/26/amped-and-acoustique-quality-axpona-2019/ | 2020-07-03T16:25:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882634.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703153451-20200703183451-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.979558 | 701 | [

Beverly D. Victory sends Dacita to Breeders’ Cup
Saturday’s Beverly D. Stakes at Arlington Park was worth more than the $345,600 first place prize to the winner. A victory would secure a fees paid entry into the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) Nov. 4 at Del Mar. The ‘Win and You’re In’ Breeders’ Cup Challenge race had some very strong contenders, and Dacita rallied in the deep stretch to overtake the favorite Dona Bruja and win the Beverly D. by a half-length. Grand Jete made a late rush to finish in a dead heat for 2nd after getting boxed in along the rail in the stretch. Rainha Da Bateria rallied from last in the stretch to finish fourth.
“We were waiting for waiting for her to be right and praying for some firm ground and we got it today and got super lucky,” said Sheep Pond Partners’ Sol Kumin. “(She) is something special. The way she finished, we knew she had it in her. Thanks to Mr. Brown. We’ll have to regroup and talk to Chad with the Breeders’ Cup being the goal.”
The victory was trainer Chad Brown’s fourth Beverly D. score and his third consecutive following Watsdachances in 2015 and Sea Calisi last year. Brown’s other two runners Grande Jete and Rainha Da Bateria both finished strong in 2nd and 4th to earn a nice payday as well.
Dacita, the 6-year-old Chilean-bred daughter of Scat Daddy, completed 1 3/16 miles in 1:55.49 over the firm turf. Dacita returned $15.80, $5.20 and $4.40 while the dead-heat runner-ups Dona Bruja ($2.40 and $2.80) and Grande Jete ($3.00 and $3.80) were strong in a close and exciting finish.
Dacita won her 10th race in 19 starts and for the first time in 2017. This was her second G1 victory since coming to the U.S. in 2015 from Chile, where she was a multiple G1 winner. She now boasts earnings of just under $1.4 million. | <urn:uuid:0b6da13f-d092-4c76-897c-19633469158a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://breederscupwagering.com/dacita-delivers-deep-stretch-win-beverly-d-stakes/ | 2020-07-05T11:24:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.97216 | 501 | [

Phew. WTF is up with this Sobig.F worm? I don't think I've ever seen so much virus traffic in a 24-hour spell. The virus gaily spoofs "from" addresses, so there's no way of telling where it actually came from, but at least I know it's not from me.
No sir, my Mac-using ass is not prey to Windows viruses, which is nice, but no guarantee against being caught in the crossfire, especially given that I operate a number of fairly widely-known email addresses. Sobig has spoofed a hardnews.co.nz address somewhere, so I woke up to about 200 bounce messages from autoresponders all over the world. As The Register is currently pointing out, someone needs to turn those fucking things off. They're part of the problem, not the solution.
Unsurprisingly, SoBig.F has just been declared the fastest-spreading e-mail virus of all time. Meanwhile, the Blaster and Nachi network worms are creating so much traffic that part of the Internet backbone are slowing down. Wired has a story on the virus invasion.
And just to add to your creeping feeling of infrastructure collapse, check another news story from the Reg crew:
The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant personnel that the network was protected by a firewall.
As we say in my country, bugger.
Anyway, Rumsfeld looked scared, Bush was, as usual, as real as Mickey Mouse, and Kofi Annan was incredible. On BBC world last night, I watched all of Annan's press conference at Stockholm airport, en route to New York, and the transcript, while worth reading doesn't really do it justice. Shattered and sombre as he was, the UN secretary general spoke strongly and beautifully, in flowing, balanced sentences.
Compare it to Bush's comments (Lord forbid the President should actually front up to a press conference occasionally), which are full of the usual cant, and the punishing, ugly syntax of Rumsfeld's Iraq answers at his presser in Honduras. Given verbal articulacy as a measure of intellectual performance, who would you rather have running the world?
As news of the UN bombing broke yesterday, it might have been easy to overlook quite how grotesque the bus-bomb attack in Jerusalem was. No matter how much bad faith has been displayed by Sharon's government in the last month or two, nothing justifies that. Nothing. It is, however, quite some cause for cheer that the Israeli government is, for the moment at least, holding off on a revenge attack.
On account of having a life, I haven't actually seen any of Brian Edwards' Edwards at Large shows on Saturday nights, but it appears that Mr Edwards is due for an order from on high to sit down. His invitation to appear to Rodney Hide might have been alright had Edwards done so merely to show that his programme really was a light chat show. But Edwards seems to have run very close to using his show to pursue a personal argument. He should stop, before someone else stops him.
Oh, and here's a good news story concerning New Zealand, in an Australian paper, that was virtually ignored here. A bit more detail on Mediawatch on Sunday … | <urn:uuid:dc5337a5-8899-41e7-b28d-f2a07b171b61> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://d3nd7i493f0o21.cloudfront.net/hardnews/creeping-chaos/ | 2020-07-05T12:04:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.970489 | 699 | [

The Alumna Merita assembly honours a Diocesan Old Girl who has excelled in her chosen field. This year’s recipient is a person who has achieved in the face of great adversity, Kimberley Chambers.
Kimberley was born in New Zealand and was raised on a sheep farm in Te Kuiti. She was a student at Diocesan from 1988 to 1992 and moved to San Francisco when she is 17 years old. In 2007 Kim suffered a severe fall while walking downstairs and almost had her leg amputated. She was warned that she may never walk unaided again. She spent two years in physical therapy and took up swimming to develop her strength and began challenging herself to swims all around the world.
Today and just 6 years on, she is an internationally recognized marathon open water swimmer. She has completed numerous open water swims around the world, including four world records, and several NZ records. Now, she is one of the world’s top marathon open water swimmers.
Kimberley is one of only a few people to complete the Oceans Seven swimming challenge, seven of the most challenging stretches of water across the globe, which included encounters with deadly jellyfish and sharks combined with strong currents and cold water. The Oceans Seven is the open water swimming equivalent to the Seven Summits of mountaineering.
Kim completed these swims wearing nothing but a swimsuit, cap and goggles. This makes her one of only 6 people in the world, and the first New Zealander to complete the Ocean 7 Challenge. She is a very proud Kiwi and says that nothing is impossible if you are brave enough to say yes.
For Kim, these are not merely athletic events. They are very personal transformational experiences of the self; learning and living life to the fullest while pushing herself through mental and physical barriers. Along the way, Kim has raised over $1.7 million for charity.
In 2015, she set a world record becoming the first woman to swim from the Farallon Islands to the Golden Gate Bridge – a distance of about 30 miles through the most shark-inhabited stretch of water in the world. No wetsuit. No shark cage.
Less than one month following her world record swim, Kimberley and 5 teammates from Night Train Swimmers, broke the current world record for the longest continuous swim in history, swimming 500kms non-stop over 5 days and nights for 91 hours in 2015. With her team, she has also achieved:
· The 1st team to swim from Jordan to Israel across the Dead Sea in 2016
· The 1st team to swim from USA to Mexico in 2017
In 2017 a documentary film, ‘Kim Swims’, was released by independent filmmaker Kate Webber following Kim’s journey from the Farallon Islands and into the record books. A member of the Explorers Club, in March of this year, Kim will be officially inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame. She is the first New Zealand woman to achieve this honour.
Kim says that she didn’t grow up as a swimmer. Her passion was ballet and her dream was to dance. As a college student at Berkley, she says that her growth spurt to 5 foot 10 inches meant that her dancing dream was over so she landed a spot on the rowing team. Through rowing she developed some great life-long friends but she learned very early on that without passion, commitment and drive will only take you so far.
Kim is a fiercely independent feminist who thrives most when encouraging others to face their fears and push through their own barriers. She says “If you think you can’t do something, or if you’re afraid of doing something, that is exactly when you should do it.”
Kim also supports the efforts of the local pollution watchdog the San Francisco Baykeeper; she serves on the organization's Leadership Circle in order to raise awareness about their mission for Bay protection. Many of her swims are also fundraisers for charities, such as the Semper Fi Fund and the Colibri Centre for Human Rights.
Kim, we are delighted that you could be back in New Zealand so that we could say how proud we are of you as a Kiwi, as a woman, a conservationist, a philanthropist, and as a sportswoman who who has demonstrated resilience and sheer determination to overcome adversity. It is our pleasure to honour your incredibly inspiring achievements today with a Diocesan Alumna Merita Award.

Saturday 7th September 2019
Hebrew: שבת 7 בספטמבר 2019
02:45hrs: I stirred awake, shivering with cold, and forced myself to evacuate the Brother-in-Law Pete damaged while he was flat-sitting, when I was in hospital, as he fitted new CCTC cameras, and searched for my valuables, which he found and took, I still haven’t got them back yet four-months later, £300, second-hand, near-dilapidated, gungy-beige coloured, c1968, sometimes working, uncomfortable, rickety, rinky-dinked, rattling, rusty, resurrected, reconditioned, recalcitrant, recidivating and rotting-away recliner, and get the dressing gown on my goose-pimpled gross body. Brr!
Taking a wee-wee in the unused overnight GPB (Grey-Plastic-Bucket). Which caught me out with its USBUWSS (Ultra-Slow-But-Uncontrollable-Weak-Sprinkly) nature! Also, my whipping down the PPs without thinking, and the dried blood from Little Inchies leaking fungal lesion got torn off, and the blood flowed afresh! (I believe a silently cursed, using language that I usually wouldn’t have, with the shock of the pain!)
While cleansing things and tidying up, I had a moment of… what’re the words, erm, err… ‘Feeling a bit sorry for missen’ I suppose! This was not good. But all the things going wrong, and carrying on from last night, just got a bit much for me, I reckon. I decided the therapy I needed was to get some work done. So I decided to sort things out, and then get the kitchen windows cleaned as best I could. So, off to the kitchen.
Got the handwashing I’d left soaking overnight, rinsed and refreshed with the ylang scented Wilko stuff. I needed a new bottle, so I hobbled (painfully, the RAI (Rheumatoid Arthur Itis) was still giving me grief), to the junk room mark two, to fetch a new bottle.
Clouting my elbow on the door handle on the way back, and dropping the container, which landed on my right foot. At least it didn’t burst open! I got the clobber on the stand-up airer. Had a wee-wee of the freakish BOBSL (Blasting-Out-But-Short-Lived) mode.
When it came to taking the morning medication, it came to light that I had missed taking last night’s! So, the getting to usual lately performance of trying to identify which were the tablets to not duplicate was done, and both doses were imbibed.
I set about getting the things out to do the windows with and had to divert to the wet room and the Throne. Under-‘rotten’-believable! What an evacuation. Right back to the solid, flesh-tearing, wait-for-it, mode! Argh! My spirit and determination were wavering now!
Back to the kitchen, took a picture of the wonderful sky.
Then moved the gear away, and got the spray and kitchen towels nearby. Up the stepladder… then fell off of it, backwards! No idea why, but I didn’t have a Neuropathic Schuhplattler dance from the leg? As I was struggling to get back up, so I could nurse my head, that I’d banged on the way down, I thought: What can I do? The chap who Jenny got in touch with said he was coming to see me about cleaning the windows last Saturday, but did not arrive. Maybe he meant another Saturday, and I got it wrong again. I came out of the Accifauxpas in remarkably good condition really. A little bang on the arm and the clout on the head was all I suffered. But the body was aching a bit in places.
Mind you, the nut was throbbing away!
I checked out the legs for ant damage, and to my utter amazement, apart from a tiny bit of a mark on my right ankle, they looked just fine?
I began to question my ability to live a normal life.
I left the mess in the kitchen after making a brew, (I really wasn’t interested in doing anything in the cleaning up stakes, now) and in a morose frame of mind, I got the computer on to update the Friday blog.
On selecting the photographs to go on, I put the wrong one for the nosh on the post. This is the one that should have gone on! Fancy me making a mistake. Humph!
A confirmation email from Amazon arrived, to inform me that the two tomatoe slicers I’d ordered were due to be delivered this Sunday. How I managed to order two, I just don’t know. But, thinking about it, I am surely assured that I will either lose one or break one, so it might yet prove to be a good idea? Oy Vey!
Anything to avoid any more cuts. Especially with the Sherrington Park Medical Practise, currently impossible to contact, I tried nineteen times on the phone this week to contact them, fifteen times in one day! And leaving me in a right state over their lack of interest in my Warfarin INR levels, or arranging any test! The last time I heard from them, by email, they wanted to know if I still wanted a nurse to call to take the blood; if so, they will arrange for it. I sent a reply message saying yes please and thank you. That was three weeks ago. Now I can’t even get to ask them why no nurse arrived, and I do not know the level or how many Warfarin tablets to take! Warden Deana was busy with the opening of the Winwood Court and burying of the time capsule (Last Monday). So, no help there. I still do not know if or when the next test is due after the missed one! Am I so hated? Why are they ignoring me? Have I too many issues and ailments for them? Why am I asking these questions?
Anyway, with so many surgeries shut down through not coming up to scratch, I imagine they are getting an influx of new patients. Which will probably result in the Grim Reaper taking me earlier than I would have liked, but who is interested? I’m not coping well at all with the hassle and lack of concern. Let him come!
I pressed on and got the Friday post finished. The hands and fingertips are not so bothersome at the moment. The head still aches, Hehe!
Made a start on this blog, and then stopped to get the ablutions sorted out. Just in case the window cleaner man might call. Mmm?
Things must be improving, the shave, teggies and shower session, held only two dropsies!
Gave up. Decided to go to Sherwood to see if any of the shops had any shortcrust cakes in stock.
I got the trolley and myself all ready, forgetting to take the black bags I made up in the kitchen and left, to find the three-flats foyer in darkness. The new light put in by the same electricians who cut my power for nine-hours, when putting in the Fire-Alarm sprinkler system I’ve little confidence in them working!) Not the NCH men who gave me the floods and destroyed my clothing in the airing cupboard, that people are even less interested in than my Doctor is in missing my Warfarin blood tests. They probably don’t even know it’s happened. I can’t get through on the phone to them. Oh, I’m getting niggly again!
I wobbled through the cut-through passage to Winwood Court.
I checked to see if the broken locking mechanism had been mended yet, on the door out to the alfresco benches. No!
I got outside via the new Winwood Court Extra Care foyer door and made my way to the bus stop.
I made the queue into three of us. It soon grew to about twelve of us. I enjoyed a nattering session. Despite my struggling to hear everything, as I had failed to put my hearing aids in. Malcolm told me how to get up to the rooftop seating on top of Winwood Court. There is a dedicated lift up and down! I thought I’d see how I was when I came back if well enough I might have a nip up take some photos?
I thought about going on the outward-bound L9, in search of the flaky pastry biscuits. When the first bus arrived, without even thinking, I got on, to find it was the inward bound bus! Surprisingly this did not seem to bother me. I just thought I’d go to the Aldi store then, on Mapperley tops. I got off and took a photo to the left then right. And a zoomed-in one of my new destination.
I came out with, a BLT sarnie, rice-cakes, caramel bars for the nibble box. Sourdough baguettes, walnut halves, ham off-cuts and eight kitchen rolls. The kitchen paper was bought cause it was on offer. Carrying it home caused a bit of a kerfuffle, as it filled the spare carrier. In fact, the young man on the till packed the rolls into the carrier-bag for me. That was kind of him!
The highlight of my mini-hobble home came as I got on the main road. A pavement cyclist also leaving the store stacked all his purchases in a carrier bag, on his little bar at the back of his bike’s seat, and rode within inches of me as he passed. A hundred yards or so further along Mapperley Top, his things fell off! It made a right mess for him to sort-out. In the end, he had to walk pushing his bike. There is a God!
Somewhat perked-up, now, I wobbled on and down Mapperley Rise. Where I took this photographicalisation. Regrettably, it came out looking nothing like how the eye saw the distant parts of the scene! Shame!
Limping down the hill, turned out to be little more arduous than I wanted. The three-wheeler really doesn’t like going downhill on uneven ground. And the pavement got worse, more irregular dips, rise’s and pot-marks, the further I travelled. There was a couple of near-trips and falls en route, but I managed to stay on my now, painful feet. The brakes are not very useful on this trolley.
When I reached the corner of Sherwood Vale, where I had to cross over, the road surface is as bad as they come. My closest call to a fall happened here. I did go down on one knee which pissed-off RAI (Rheumatoid Arthur Itis)! But no injuries really. As I was trying to get up, a bloke who’d stopped his came over and asked if I was alright. Another humanitarian gesture! I thanked him and said I was fine, thank you.
I took this picture as I walked down to Chestnut Way and the Winwood Heights barren looking person-less area.
The planning as not be thought out too well. To avoid all the high pavements safely, would mean going onto the road all the time and back again.
As I neared the Gulag, I mean, flats, I decided I would have a walk up to the Extra Care Winwood Court sitting-out area, now Malcolm has told me how to get up there. They have a games room, with a sink, power-sockets, seats and tables, and a kitchen as well. I got in the one-stop lift, and a lady in there, sat at a table, gave me rum-look and said something, but couldn’t hear what she said.
I went out onto the terrace-top. There were no chairs as you will in the photos that I took ad-lib:
Inside of Winwood Courts dedicated lift, on my way back down. I didn’t see anyone at all on the walk home through the linking-passage to Woodthorpe Court.
I stopped for a while, something was not right. What was it? Ah, the silence! No banging from the flat above, no laughter, no fridge rattling away, no mystery whining sounds, no wind blowing through the holes in the wall and floor, courtesy of the builders and repairmen… still, you can’t expect it sound just like inside your Woodthorpe Court flat, can you?
And of course, it’s the weekend, many people going to see their families or being collected, that’s another reason for the lack of Winwoodonians about.
I got in the apartment. No wee-weeing, no Porcelain Throne requirements, no new ailments acquired. Apart from a little bruise on the head still there from my falling off the stepladder earlier, and an even smaller injury-come-graze, on the knee, from the mini-fall on the road.
I got the fodder stored away.
I got on with updating this blog, for hours, but the finger-ends were making it slow work. Eventually, the CIDP won, and I gave up working on the computer.
I got the nosh prepared. The oven in the chips… now there’s a cock-up! I meant, Chips in the oven, and got the tomatoes sliced. Sliced the finger as well! Not really, just a knick under a fingernail again.
So, there I was, limping around in the nude prepping the meal, and the Intercom light flashed (I couldn’t hear the pathetically week chiming it is supposed to give out). When I pressed the answer button, the picture of the caller, disappeared, and the picture screen came up ‘Picture Fault’. I pressed the door open button, but I was not sure if it had done so or not. Pushed the reset button, then the answer button, and got the picture back. No one in view. I assumed they had been let in by someone.
I got the dressing gown on sharpish, and the door chime rang out. Guess who it was? It was the tomato slicer delivery from Amazon, that was due to arrive on Sunday. I thanked the lady and took the box into the kitchen and had a look at the slicer.
A shame it didn’t come half-an-hour earlier, it would have saved me losing the blood. Hehe! I just had to try it out. So I cleaned it, and sliced another tomato with it, and added it to the plate. Works alright, I have to be wary when cleaning the fixed blades.
I got the handwashing done and hung.
Then sorted the meal out. I overdid the quantities, and could not eat it all, but what I did eat was flavoursome, a taste-rating of 7.5/10.
Got the washing-up done, and settled to watch some TV. Staying awake to see the England v Bulgaria Euro qualifying match. When I say stayed awake, I mean mostly. Half-time I drifted off.But came back to life when the match restarted.
At long last, the RAI (Rheumatoid Arthur Itis) was easing in the knees. It should just about have got to a bearable pain level, in time for Tuesday, and the next crippling, blood-curling, agony-ridden, depressing, After-Stroke physio session! Haha! | <urn:uuid:d0da0fa9-4d5b-4329-aa6c-97b25dc7714e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://gerrynottingham.blog/2019/09/08/inccockski-sat-7-sept-19-a-melee-like-medley-of-mishaps/ | 2020-07-07T13:40:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655892516.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707111607-20200707141607-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.969238 | 3,391 | [

Misdiagnosis Leaves Child Brain-Damaged
When a mystery illness strikes a child, a worried parent reasonably expects a doctor to diagnose the problem.
It was 2005 when the plaintiff took her young daughter to a pediatrics center to see her regular doctor. That physician was not available and another doctor looked at the plaintiff’s daughter. The mother was concerned about her daughter’s fever, headache and sore neck. The new doctor, who had only just completed her medical residency, diagnosed allergies, and sent the child home with allergy medication.
According to trial records, the plaintiff asked the defendant if there were other tests that could be done, as she did not think her child was having allergy issue. Apparently, the doctor said no further tests were necessary. Still concerned, the mother asked the physician to take a blood sample, just in case her daughter might have meningitis, an inflammation of the brain tissue caused by an infection in the brain. Classical symptoms include a stiff neck, headaches and fever. Untreated, it may lead to permanent brain damage and/or death. The doctor supposedly ruled out that possibility.
Two days later, the plaintiff discovered her daughter having a seizure and rushed her to the hospital. Emergency physicians informed the mother her child had meningitis, had a stroke and was in a coma. Three weeks later, the child woke up at a different hospital with severe brain damage. She is no longer able to speak, eat or walk and will need to re-learn all of these skills in order to function as best as she can. It is expected that she will never have full adult functioning and will need care for the rest of her life. Calculations relating to the child’s life expectancy and cost of medical care amounted to approximately $14 million.
Further evidence included in the case showed that the child’s medical file had a notation in it made by the defendant doctor that said she suspected the child had viral meningitis. Despite her suspicions, she did nothing further and did not order a spinal tap. Due to the negligence of the defendant doctor, the child has ended up with severe brain damage.
This medical malpractice lawsuit is about many things, not the least of which is compensation for the child to care for her for the rest of her life and hold the doctor responsible for her negligence. It is also about sending a message to raise awareness about viral meningitis and for people to insist on a spinal tap if they suspect they may have the disease. What begins as a lawsuit founded in medical malpractice may have other repercussions in the future, particularly if the case acts as a warning to another doctor faced with similar symptoms in a patient, and that doctor then goes the extra mile to diagnose a suspected disease correctly.
If you are faced with a situation in which you feel you have been the victim of medical malpractice, you need to speak to a skilled Cleveland medical malpractice lawyer. Not all bad medical outcomes are classified as malpractice and you need to know if you have a case before proceeding. Only a Cleveland medical malpractice lawyer can evaluate your case. | <urn:uuid:3271fde4-f52c-4f2c-9869-3ba1b50af439> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.christophermellino.com/blog/2013/may/misdiagnosis-leaves-child-brain-damaged/ | 2020-07-07T13:34:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655892516.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707111607-20200707141607-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.980851 | 633 | [

While search engine
bots are scanning websites for indexing
purposes, they also look for links to other
websites. The more high-quality inbound links
the website has, the greater its link authority. In
theory, every inbound link counts as a positive
recommendation for a website. However, it is
not the quantity of inbound links that plays the
biggest role for search engines; it's quality. If you are creative, you might go for a nonsensical domain name. SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is the process of using keywords and relevant clear content to aid businesses move up search engine results pages. Would an inexpensive Lines rocking horses do the trick? For example, where would one find organic local grocery box delivery around here? What is the response rate for results based on network of networks ? Lets use the search term York SEO as an example. The unfortunate answer is - yes, it is a content issue.
So lets talk about domain authority and its importance to digital marketing
The navigation of a website is important in helping visitors
quickly find the content they want. It can also help search engines
understand what content the webmaster thinks is important. Prioritize keywords and phrases,
plurals, Do your homework! The primary resources
are all available here. Its as simple as your ABC's singulars and misspellings. Any site migration that involves URL changes needs to be very carefully considered. From domain name changes to tech stack updates, when you start changing your website's URLs you are basically throwing away your old ranking signals and hoping that with judicious use of redirects you can get search engines to associate those signals with your new URLs. When URL parameters are generated using site filters, there is a high risk of creating issues that impact the ranking of the page.
Find a good selection of websites using interesting sitemaps
HubSpot also recently unveiled a way to add canonical tags directly in the COS and blog posts, making tag implementation even easier for SEO experts and novices alike. Email can be a
part of a company's digital marketing strategy. Those individuals involved in designing a communications campaign must thoroughly understand the product being sold and the consumers (or businesses) who are potential buyers. The readability of your content has to do with the simplicity of its language, the lack of grammatical or syntactical errors, and the sentence structure. Online readability tests allow you to learn the "reading age" someone needs to understand your content.
Add relevant inbound links to other pages on your website
Choosing the right keyword isn't just about choosing a keyword that attracts lots of visitors to your website, it's about attracting the right visitors to your website. Historically, guerrilla marketing offers one of the most successful alternative media marketing programs. Hopefully your website is laid out in a way that allows users to easily find the content or pages that you want to promote. Gaz Hall, from SEO Hull
, had the following to say: "When a bandwagon is this large and this loud, it's just about impossible to resist jumping on."
When auditing your site, take time to think about keywords
In the world of SEO, there is speculation that Google's indexer will only give a certain document credit for having a given word in its title if that word appears in the first 12 words of the title tag. This I'm always shocked by Assessment for Schools
, in this regard. is an integrated
approach to drives customers to your business through a web portal. Use that information to write exceptional content and do not be afraid to let the world know about what you have to offer. Invest time and efforts into guest blogging as well while maintaining an active blog on your site. Choose relevant, popular websites for your guest posts and embed intelligent links in your article. Initially, add one backlink per post that adds value to the content and is pertinent to the underlying theme. However, once you have developed a rapport with the host website, they might be willing to include more than one link per post. | <urn:uuid:dcbff367-a3fa-4e2c-a033-0177f46ac6c8> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://ww2.donburako.com/When-auditing-your-site-take-time-to-think-about-keywords-1557816003.html | 2020-07-09T11:42:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655899931.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709100539-20200709130539-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.934634 | 831 | [

Show off your favorite produce with this recipe from our wonderful, talented friend Darshana Thacker, a chef who uses only whole-food, plant-based ingredients. From The Forks Over Knives Plan: A 4-Week Meal-by-Meal Makeover.
This salad has been my favorite for a long time. It is filling yet refreshing, especially in the summer. There is no need for a separate dressing, and it can be made hours before serving, making it an ideal choice for a potluck or a picnic. Recently, I served this salad at a pre-show picnic at the Hollywood Bowl, and it was a big hit with my friends. —DT
Makes about 8 cups
1 cup brown rice
1 medium zucchini, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 medium-small cucumber, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1⁄2 cup finely chopped green onions, white and light green parts
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. Rinse the rice and place it in a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes until no longer steaming. Add the zucchini, cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well. Taste and add more lemon juice or salt if desired. Cover and chill or let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the juices from the vegetables and the lemon juice to mix with the rice so that all the flavors meld. Taste and adjust seasoning.
3. Serve cold or at room temperature. Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. | <urn:uuid:f9527bbc-c1ca-44a6-8a60-cb6add43a123> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.tipsonlifeandlove.com/recipes-2/the-forks-over-knives-plan-recipe-hollywood-bowl-brown-rice-salad | 2020-07-09T11:44:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655899931.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709100539-20200709130539-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.884064 | 438 | [

- With the new software version TIS-Web DMM 5.0, fleet managers can also meet their legal storage and archiving obligations when using the new intelligent tachograph
- Fully reworked user interface and responsive design provide a better fleet overview
- Numerous analytical functions announced as updates
- TIS-Web Motion: Continuous, up-to-date data on the condition and location of all vehicles
Munich/Villingen-Schwenningen, June 4th 2019. The introduction of the intelligent digital tachograph also has repercussions for fleet management. To ensure that fleet operators can continue to meet their legal obligations relating to data archiving, the technology company Continental has developed a new version of its VDO TIS-Web fleet management system. The software can be ordered with immediate effect. Among other things, the new generation of software is required due to the modified encryption technology in the intelligent tachograph. However, Continental has done far more than simply implement the necessary updates: Many further innovations make fleet management with TIS-Web DMM 5.0 even more convenient and efficient. “With the new version, we wanted to achieve three things,” explains Marcello Lucarelli, Head of the Business Segment Tachographs, Telematics and Services at Continental. “The certainty for our customers that they comply with legal requirements, an intuitive user interface, and more fleet management functions so that smaller and mid-sized fleets can benefit from the advantages of fleet analysis without any entry-level barriers.”
Meeting legal requirements
The TIS-Web online software consists of individual services, which fleet managers can add and deselect according to requirements. Anyone who uses the Data Management (DMM) core service for the legally compliant read-out, archiving and storage of driver and vehicle data should not delay in migrating from DMM version 4.9. to DMM version 5.0 as soon as the fleet includes a vehicle that has the DTCO 4.0 on board.
Because the intelligent tachograph demands wide-ranging technical changes at all levels, Continental has reprogrammed the VDO TIS-Web system to create a reliable basis for the future. However, this upgrade is not possible by means of simple updates and existing TIS-Web customers will have to switch to TIS-Web DMM 5.0. They can expect to be contacted by Continental or a dealer. Further information can be found at https://www.fleet.vdo.de/
Optimum fleet coordinate system: new fleet analysis functions
However, TIS-Web DMM 5.0 can do much more: Thanks to a wealth of clearly prepared data on drivers, vehicles, driving behavior and tachographs, fleet managers can administer their fleets even more simply and efficiently. They can see vehicles and drivers, driving and rest periods, as well as any infringements, at a glance. The driver’s remaining driving time is also output. The reminder functions for download due dates, card expiry dates, driving license verifications, maintenance or calibration dates and the graphically presented, interactive driver and vehicle activity summaries are also extremely practical. The system also warns fleet managers of possible infringements that could lead to penalties. “Currently more than 250,000 vehicles and 500,000 drivers are being managed with TIS-Web. TIS-Web is available throughout Europe, in every language, with distribution points in each country and technical support in the local language,” says Diego Santos-Burgoa, Head of Sales in the Tachographs, Telematics and Services Business Segment at Continental.
The developers of TIS-Web DMM 5.0 are already planning the next steps: With the forthcoming updates, they will gradually add what will ultimately be an extensive range of analyses to TIS-Web DMM – with a wide choice of statistics and reports, for example on speeds and rpm profiles.
Clear and intuitive: the new dashboard
Continental has completely redesigned the user interface for TIS-Web DMM 5.0. In the dashboard, fleet managers can see at a glance all the information that is important for their work and they can also configure the interface to meet their specific needs. The enhanced clarity and more easily understandable displays simplify day-to-day work and speed up loading times compared to the previous version. Thanks to the responsive design, fleet managers can use TIS-Web on their desktop or on a tablet or smartphone.
Perfect partners: TIS-Web DMM and TIS-Web Motion
The same applies for the latest version of the TIS-Web Motion service. It provides fleet managers with an uncomplicated, intuitive, economical software solution for the more efficient control of their fleets on the basis of up-to-date location data and movement patterns. TIS-Web Motion is therefore the perfect complement to the capabilities offered by the DMM service. For example, with the geofencing feature: If the vehicle travels beyond a point previously defined on the map then a notification automatically appears in the dashboard. This enables trucking companies to inform their customers of the arrival of deliveries to an accuracy of a matter of minutes. This speeds up loading and unloading processes and minimizes vehicle idle times.
A further addition for efficient fleet management is the TIS-Web Data Services. TIS-Web Connect is an intelligent interface that enables tachograph data to be automatically transferred from various fleet management systems to TIS-Web. For data transfer in the other direction, there is TIS-Web Extract, which integrates selected data from TIS-Web into company-specific software solutions such as accounting systems. | <urn:uuid:6eccb030-b2d8-4227-8cc4-40266b6c46f3> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.continental.com/en/press/press-releases/commercial-vehicle-aftermarket/2019-06-04-vdo-tis-174550 | 2020-07-12T23:16:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657140337.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712211314-20200713001314-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.920637 | 1,166 | [

The new Super Smash Bros. won’t come out until sometime next year, but in a recent video series director Masahiro Sakurai helped keep fans happy by giving them more information about the game.
The video starts off with Sakurai talking about the differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions of the new Super Smash Bros. The 3DS version of the game features a cel-shaded look with outlines for each character to help them standout on the smaller 3.5-inch screen. The Wii U version uses more primary colors to make the characters look better in HD.
While both versions of the game will feature the same character rosters, each will have a few unique arenas. The unique arenas in the 3DS game will come from handheld games like Nintendogs and the DS Zelda games. The Wii U game will have more arenas based on console games, like Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the Wii.
Sakurai then goes into detail about the three new characters announced for the game so far. The first is the Village from Animal Crossing, who is all about collecting items. The Villager can pickup and toss back almost anything in the game, from items to projectile missiles and even Mario’s fireballs and Samus’ charged shot.
The Villager will also use tools and items from the Animal Crossing series. He can capture enemies with his net or bury them in a hole with his shovel and drop a bowling ball on their head from a higher platform.
The next new character, Mega Man, comes from Capcom. Sakurai said he’s careful about what non-Nintendo characters will join the game, though Mega Man seems like a perfect fit for the series. The blue bomber will use his buster as his main attack, but will also use powers from enemies in his game such as Blade Man and Crash Man.
Mega Man’s dog Rush also appears in the game as his way of recovering from a fall using Rush Coil.
Finally, Sakurai talks about the surprising new character in the game: the Wii Fit Trainer. The Wii Fit Trainer helps players get healthy in the Wii Fit franchise, so all of her moves come from yoga poses and workouts in the game. She is perhaps the most surprising character to make their way into the game, but her fitness-focused fighting style looks like fun.
The Wii Fit Trainer is the only new character with an announced Final Smash, called Wii Fit, that attacks all enemies with colorful copies of the trainer in different poses.
The new Super Smash Bros. will come to the Wii U and 3DS sometime in 2014. The game may feature a larger roster than Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and the team will likely announce new characters in the months leading up to release.

Traditional academia is gone. We don’t need to be in a specific location to be learning. A couple of clicks and we’re already “in the classroom.” Technology plays a vital role in this change. What’s more, Generation Z, for whom tech has been an integral part of their lives since birth, are now students. Not to mention, “life-long learning” has become a new normal too. All these scholars have added a lot of work to academic institutions as they digest information differently from previous generations, and value mobility and freedom of choice over restrictions.
Obviously, the question of technology in education is not as plain and clear as this. It has so many dimensions that caused multiple camps, preaching pros and cons of technology, to flourish.
We will analyze all sides of technology in education to determine major benefits and challenges and to give you the idea of how to make the most of utilizing digital tools in your educational institution.
Dimensions of Technology in Education
The world of education consists of multiple sides of a single coin that need to be investigated to draw certain conclusions. There are four major elements in this system that we will measure technology through:
- Learning – students, the object of any academic process
- Teaching – instructors, providers of education
- Leadership – creating conditions for innovation
- Assessment – ways of measuring learning
Learning with Technology
Technology-enabled learning aims to provide engaging and effective learning experiences regardless of the student’s location. These experiences will prepare them for active, creative, and successful daily life in globally connected reality.
- Location freedom gives the potential for real-life implementation of knowledge
- Resources aren’t limited to those found within brick-and-mortar institutions
- Many complementary services, such as mentoring, are available from any spot in the world
- Continuous learning of a life skill in a digital world
- Education becomes international and connected
- Virtual science facilities accessible to every student
- Students can share their works with a general audience and receive real-life feedback
- Access to personalized learning experiences
- Adds to already excessive screen time
- Devices act as distractions and disrupt the learning process
- Can create data privacy issues
- Greater potential for cheating in the classroom
- Fewer human interaction skills learned by the students
- Being misled by false information
- Unequal access to technology that impacts the quality of education
Teaching with Technology
Technology has this potential of empowering educators to provide more effective and multidimensional knowledge to their learners. An abundance of available tools allows extending learning beyond the classroom and making education so much more appealing to youngsters than your regular books and libraries.
- Collaboration far beyond the walls of the school
- Designing highly engaging learning experiences
- Ensuring full participation
- Automation of the most tedious tasks
- Instant access to the most actual information
- Implementation of new technologies for learning
- Becoming guides and facilitators instead of content experts
- Becoming co-learners to inspire students
- Around-the-clock availability reduces learners’ efficiency
- The quality of research can be poor
- Technology can act as a disruptor of a learning process
- Labor-intensive lesson planning
- It can one day can replace instructors
Creating a culture of the continuous transformation of education so that it’s future-ready requires strong leadership because technology alone won’t transform learning; rather, it can enable transformative learning.
- Meeting increasingly higher customer expectations
- Delivering future-ready graduates
- Providing personalized learning experiences
- Corporate sector investing in higher education
- Supplying a robust technology infrastructure
- Ensuring an ongoing personalized professional learning
- It’s expensive
- Requires a complex strategy
- Most people don’t like change
- Takes time and a strong set of values
- Requires rethinking existing staff roles
Assessment with Technology
One significant yet controversial piece of this puzzle—measuring of learning. The need for instructor to check for learner understanding has always been at the core of education. Various tools for assessment are not only aimed at simplifying and speeding up the process but also at reimagining and adding even more value to it.
- Using data to support personalized learning
- Quick adoption and implementation
- Providing real-time feedback
- Taking over grading’s most routine part
- Potential for measuring complex competencies
- Making assessment much more fair and valid
- Adaptation to learner level of knowledge
- Rare, but possible issues running the technology
- Can be expensive
- May limit what can be measured
- Challenging for those unfamiliar with the technology
Clearly, there is a whole new world opening up before us as technology becomes an even more integral part of our lives. And as complex as this question of whether or not to implement technology is, what if we could look at it from a completely different perspective?
What if we imagine for a moment that technology isn’t just another trend in education, but a whole new reality for all industries, education included. What if distracted attention and complexity of implementation or who pays for technology are not the things that should be fixed? What if what you teach and how you teach will never be the same and should be reimagined and transformed with everything else to follow? The world has changed—brick-and-mortar academic institutions continue to close by the hundreds around the world, and others are put at risk by the rapidly developing online learning market.
Technology has become the new reality—the default condition of the world—and we must all do what’s right to prosper. | <urn:uuid:ed0911d1-bb25-4016-b982-d2bcef8de1dd> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://unicheck.com/blog/how-tecnology-impacts-education?utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=TECHNOTIFICATION | 2020-07-15T02:59:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657154789.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715003838-20200715033838-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.924917 | 1,168 | [

Who is an effective person? "Anyone who uses his or her talent to help others and makes a difference," says Dr T V Rao in a new book, Effective People, published by Random House India, which draws salient lessons from the lives of India's most famous professionals, social workers and business tycoons.
The author of 60 books, including the well-received Managers Who Make a Difference, Dr Rao is considered the father of human resource development (HRD) in India. Apart from pioneering the departments of psychology at the Andhra and Udaipur universities, he taught at the Indian Institute of Management (IIMA) from1973-1994 and founded the well-regarded National HRD Network and the Academy of HRD.
In the excerpt below he examines the lives of two Bollywood legends, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan.
"AMITABH BACHCHAN is not only an acknowledged superstar all over the world but a lot can be learnt from his own life and the scope of his long career, the range of roles he has played, and the ups and downs he went through including an attempt to corporatize his name and achievements. Almost every movie he acted in had a message besides big entertainment value. The following are ten lessons from his life and work:
1. Create a niche: Amitabh Bachchan entered the Indian film industry when it was dominated by actors like Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Sunil Dutt and Dev Anand. While most were comfortable playing the romantic hero, he took up the challenge of doing action films, thus creating a niche for himself.
Mr Bachchan was once rejected for the role of a broadcaster in All India Radio because they did not like his voice.
2. Don't take no for an answer: It seems unbelievable that Mr Bachchan was once rejected for the role of a broadcaster in All India Radio because they did not like his voice. Ironically, today the actor's deep baritone and impeccable dialogue delivery have acquired an iconic status. He worked as a playback singer for twenty-nine movies and in 2005, even lent his voice as narrator to Luc Jacquet's Oscar-winning French documentary, March of the Penguins.
3. Accept failure, but never give up: In 1995, three years into semi-retirement from the film industry, he founded Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited, an event management and production firm. Although the company achieved considerable success in its first year, it subsequently suffered crippling losses, forcing Mr Bachchan to take up acting again in order to cope with massive business debts. In July 2000, he came back with a bang to host the first instalment of the reality series Kaun Banega Crorepati, which went on to become the most-watched TV show in the country.
4. Learn from everyone: He's worked with junior co-stars and directors half his age, but he's never reported to throw tantrums or push his weight around on set or otherwise.
5. Give everything your 100 per cent: His dedication to his craft is apparent in movies like Black and Paa. In Paa, to get into character, Bachchan had to spend four to five hours every day donning prosthetic make-up, post which he could not eat or drink normally -- and it took two hours after each shoot to get rid of it. Despite his age and seniority, he did not complain once, which is the mark of a true professional. Paa remains one of his best performances to date.
In Paa, to get into character, Bachchan had to spend four to five hours every day donning prosthetic make-up, post which he could not eat or drink normally...
6. Forgive and forget, and never lose sight of the bigger picture: To be sure, he has had his share of fall-outs, which are inevitable -- the Gandhi family, Shah Rukh Khan, Amar Singh, Anurag Kashyap, various media publications -- but there's no denying that he does not believe in mud-slinging and has graciously moved on from most fall-outs, often extending a warm hand of friendship to former nemeses. He has never used the media as a tool, as so many celebrities often do, to lash out at his detractors.
7. You may be rich and famous, but you're never above anyone: His interactions with his fans and the press are generally warm and gracious, and he makes a visible effort to remain humble and grounded. And despite the constant attention, which can get to the most patient of people, he manages to keep his cool and handles the shutterbug invasion with a smile, posing for them, answering questions and leaving them satisfied.
8. Give back to society: From his decision to support the nationwide polio campaign to his association with various charity organisations, Amitabh Bachchan has always found the time to give back to society.
9. Respect thy parents: Big B finds special purpose in revisiting his father's poems -- to him, it's a way of paying tribute to the man who raised him.
One of the very few stars known for their punctuality, [Bachchan] is apologetic even if he's kept you waiting a few short minutes.
10. Have respect for other people's time and always be punctual: B-Town biggies have a notorious reputation for holding up shoots, strolling on to sets five hours late, throwing tantrums that cause setbacks to the schedule and delaying projects by months, sometimes, even years. Not Amitabh Bachchan. One of the very few stars known for their punctuality, he is apologetic even if he's kept you waiting a few short minutes.
AAMIR KHAN is known, besides his acting, for the social commitment he has shown by doing films like Lagaan, PK, 3 Idiots, Taare Zameen Par, Fanaa, etc. and his TV show Satyamev Jayate which raises awareness on social issues. [T]he films he has acted in have a lot of messages. For example 3 Idiots has significant messages... on pursuing inner passions and talents to become something in life. Lagaan is used in many management schools as a case study to teach determination, hard work, taking up challenges and teamwork.
His latest movie PK has some interesting lessons:
1. Sometimes letting go makes you a bigger person.
2. Trust yourself and not someone who is a self-acclaimed manager of the almighty, trust your thinking and act accordingly.
3. Doubt what you see, read and hear.
4. Question what's in front of you and don't just stand blinded, accepting everything that's handed to you.
Apply your logic and brains and behave rationally not just because your religion says so, but because your mind says so.
5. Apply your logic and brains and behave rationally not just because your religion says so, but because your mind says so.
6. Listen to yourself before you agree with something you aren't fully aware about.
7. Your mind holds the power, so give yourself a chance to be enlightened.
8. Rather than blindly following something that lies behind a fog, it's better to understand the hows and the whys of a thing you have been doing since your birth.
9. It's not a sin to be curious, so never be afraid to satisfy your thirst for curiosity.
There are lessons to be drawn from Aamir Khan's life itself:
1. When you take on a project, give it everything you can. Be extremely committed to it. Focus is what differentiates the good from the great.
2. Diamonds are in the detail. Only when you focus on each and every bit of the project will you be able to create something that is a masterpiece and something that lasts forever.
3. Go with your gut feeling. Do not hesitate to try something different. If you want to create a niche, something that is different, you have to try doing things that no one else is doing. Yes, there is a lot of risk involved, but the higher the risks, the higher the rewards.
4. Good marketing without a good product might work sometimes, but good marketing along with a good product always works.
5. Be a responsible citizen. Aamir Khan is known to create responsible cinema. While making his movies he makes sure that they do not promote anything that might seem irresponsible or create imbalance in the society."

(but for real, if you want a facial that feels better than any massage, schedule a treatment today!)
My dear, sweet, and insanely gifted friend, Christine Servello, owner of Gateway Facial Therapies, was involved in the development process from concept to launch. We worked one-on-one on her #logo concept, editing and tweaking it until it just felt right for her. From there, we designed some pretty awesome business and gift cards, featuring a gorgeous #goldfoiling treatment.
When it came to designing her #website, she completely trusted me to "work my magic", so I built her a site that had functionality for her business, with stylistic touches that encompassed her #brand. Once I was done with the site, we sat down together and edited until she was comfortable to go live.
Once we had launched her site, it was time to get her social media accounts set up and integrated. Christine asked for some direction with content and posting, which we walked through together from my couch!
My hands-on approach allows my clients to take control of their brand, not just respond to an email. | <urn:uuid:05e4daf1-3532-4d86-a38b-25ab4de2f15c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.ctrl-altdesign.com/post/gateway-facial-therapies | 2020-07-03T20:40:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882934.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703184459-20200703214459-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.976289 | 236 | [

It felt strange looking at a faded, black and white wall photo of a downtown street from 1900. No expressways. No cars. Only horses, buggies and Victorian dressed pedestrians. The Model T Ford was eight years away.
I wonder if those pedestrians had the foggiest notion of the transport tsunami that would befall their children a few decades forward?
Expressways and cars changed everything. Horses and buggies vanished. Expressways depleted cities of the middle class and led to deserted high crime downtowns. They triggered sprawl and, along with vanishing streetcar lines, the decline of urban villages. In return cars offered individual freedom to roam and opportunity to escape congestion and crime in congested downtowns.
Last week another mobility tsunami emerged - car free cities! Norway announced that the central area of the capital city Oslo will be car-free in 4 years. The Oslo council plans to permanently ban vehicles from their central city.
It’s hard to argue the plan isn't futuristic. SafeGrowth blogs in the past describe similar visions, a theoretical design called The Venus Project and an urban experiment called Masdar City, currently under construction.
Oslo, however, is the first existing major city with over a half million residents to attempt it for real. It is unclear how 60 kilometers of new bike lanes will help residents navigate Oslo’s -5C, snowy winters. Horse buggies perhaps? Yet their plan to create a carless city heralds a truly visionary future. | <urn:uuid:e5f958ac-4a2b-4f5f-aa60-9293a127e3b1> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.safegrowth.org/blog/the-carless-city | 2020-07-03T20:09:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882934.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703184459-20200703214459-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.949734 | 303 | [

The three-year partnership between the State University of New York (SUNY) system and OER provider Lumen Learning, which was listed in our Sept 2019 issue of Trends in Higher Education, suggests momentum for widespread adoption of OER in higher education.
But how do you help OER get a foothold in your college or university? How does OER affect library planning or academic planning? We asked Larry Milliken, manager of scholarly communications at Drexel University Libraries, to provide insight on planning for OER.
I manage the Scholarly Communications program which raises campus understanding of contemporary dynamic information ecosystems, selects information resources for cost-effective campus access in support of curricular needs, and provides expert guidance and consultations to identify authoritative channels of scholarly dissemination. Advocating for and supporting OER adoption (along with the curricular use of already-licensed library resources) is an important part of this program. We accomplish this through outreach and presentations to faculty and administrators along with support from our subject librarians and online guide materials.
One of the libraries’ strategic directives is to contain the rising cost of higher education. OER has given me (and our subject librarians) an opening with faculty to talk about textbook choices and how textbook affordability impacts learning. With OERs, we are not limited to empathizing with faculty about the cost to students; we now have viable alternatives to commercial textbooks to discuss with them.
The three biggest challenges are timing, finding the correct fit for a given course, and the reliance on ancillary materials.
Timing is important because the easiest time for a faculty member to adopt an OER textbook is when a new course is being designed or an existing course is being redesigned. This often creates a gap between the decision to use OER and implementation—even faculty who are completely on board with the idea may not be able to redesign their courses immediately. So, OER programs can take time to build momentum.
Finding an OER that fits the course is becoming easier as the number of open textbooks increases, but can be a significant challenge in fields like nursing and engineering where the amount of material is more limited currently.
A lack (or perceived lack) of ancillary materials, such as pre-made PowerPoint slides or test banks, is also a challenge because some faculty rely on them to streamline their course prep.
An opportunity for a university on a quarter system, such as Drexel, is that the openness of an OER means that faculty will be able to adapt the textbooks to fit the pace of a 10-week term, something that is less common in the commercial textbook market.
Taking on any new initiative is easier when you can learn from the experience of peers. Look to see if there is an existing OER or affordable learning program through the local or state consortial networks that the library can join. For example, Drexel is a member of PALCI, a regional consortium of nearly 70 academic libraries. PALCI is developing a network of librarians within its membership to share ideas and insights on how librarians can encourage faculty to use OER.
I would also recommend bringing on faculty fellows who can use their experience with OER to champion the cause. At Drexel, we’ve introduced a Library Faculty Fellows program. Three faculty members committed a few hours a week for 3-6 months to adopt OER in their courses. Then, these fellows shared the different approaches they took with OER and promoted how the library supported their effort, helping other faculty think about how they can adopt OER.
Developing connections with your university’s version of a center for teaching and learning and other administrators will also be useful.
Librarians should remember that adopting OER in a course does not have to be an all-or-nothing scenario. Faculty can try out using a chapter or two of an OER textbook where it fits their needs as a way to audition the material. That can be a good way for them to build confidence in the content and familiarity with the platforms involved. | <urn:uuid:66ed2e21-6b39-4c9e-bc1f-21258b769ca5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.scup.org/resource/planning-for-open-educational-resources-oer/ | 2020-07-03T20:08:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882934.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703184459-20200703214459-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.956658 | 834 | [

Monitoring & Rebooting
Server monitoring is a big responsibility for new VPS clients – you have to keep track of how your Virtual Private Server is doing, to see if it is overloaded, to find out if all the services are performing properly. It’s a procedure that requires constant attention, and you probably don’t the needed time to do this. For this reason, we propose that we carry out the task instead of you. If you take advantage of our Admin Services offer, we will be keeping a constant eye on your VPS and all the services running on it. That way you’ll have more time for your sites or web applications.
Maintaining a backup copy of all your hosted content is very important – one never knows when something would go wrong. And having signed for our Admin Services package, you will take advantage of weekly backups of your entire VPS, not just of your content, without you needing to set up or configure anything. Last but not least all the backup copies are kept on a server with many RAID–configured hard disks. This implies that your data will always be safe and sound, irrespective of what happens.
Installation & Troubleshooting
When using a Linux Virtual Private Server, you will have complete freedom to install any script or service on your it. Still, a part of the scripts are more difficult to run and may require some extra setup on your part. This is where our Admin Services solution can help you out. It features 30 minutes of installation & trouble–shooting duties – which means you can basically employ one of our competent server admins for thirty minutes and have him help you with the installation process of any software application whatsoever that you want. And/or have him take care of a problem that you’re experiencing with your Virtual Private Server. | <urn:uuid:c6f09f23-796c-48ff-aa6b-266a9714e5ee> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://championwebhosting.com/vps-hosting-services/admin-services/ | 2020-07-05T17:42:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887377.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705152852-20200705182852-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.941994 | 370 | [

Hine Cognac XO
Aged an average of 20 to 25 years, Antique is exquisitely balanced: light and delicate but still complex. It is a blend of Cognacs from the Grande and Petite Champagne districts only. On both the nose and the palate a great deal of fruitiness is tempered by rancio (a pungent, nutty, woodsy flavor), which marks Antique as a mature Cognac. The taste is mellow and supple with a wealth of sustained flavors, floral nuances, hints of honey, leather and vine and a pronounced taste of vanilla, carried by finesse and endurance. | <urn:uuid:8fa030ec-dcd3-40e3-a064-7ed566022d71> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.bottleshop.com/products/13126510/hine-cognac-xo | 2020-07-05T16:44:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887377.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705152852-20200705182852-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.880469 | 130 | [

It is Sunday lunch at the neighbours this weekend with one-and-a-half miles and 13 places in the Premier League table separating our two clubs. Chelsea club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton debate another derby…
The second of Chelsea’s two London derbies this week is the first all-west London affair on the banks of the Thames for five years and two days (the Blues remain in the Smoke for the next two matches, too).
Andre Schurrle, currently plying his trade at Craven Cottage, will need no reminding he secured his only hat-trick in royal blue in the 3-1 win in our last meeting there (see our History part tomorrow for more on previous west London derbies).
This is the last time this season the Cottagers will face rivals from the same city, which may come as some comfort. These games have been capital punishment for them so far – they could become the first London side to lose 10 derby games in one season.
Fulham’s last three coaches have had Stamford Bridge connections.
Claudio Ranieri was dismissed as Fulham boss yesterday and his freshly installed replacement, in a caretaker role, Scott Parker, joined the Blues under the Italian in 2004 but in recent years was coach of Tottenham Under-18s. The new caretaker originally stepped up as assistant at Fulham to another former Blues midfielder, Slavisa Jokanovic, just last summer.
Chelsea are seeking a fourth successive clean sheet in all competitions.
— Key stat
‘Tottenham Hotspur… it’s happened again,’ sang Wednesday’s crowd at Stamford Bridge – the same theatre that staged the dramatic end to Spurs’ title campaign three years ago. The Lilywhites have now lost their past four games on the road in all competitions, two of them at the hands of their royal blue rivals.
Never the less, a rejuvenated Chelsea travel across the borough on Sunday knowing our goal difference as well as the points total may need improving to finish the campaign in a Champions League position.
Elsewhere this weekend third and fourth, Tottenham and Arsenal, square up at Wembley while fifth-placed Manchester United host striving Southampton. None of those three teams are in league action the weekend after next, when the Blues will be at Everton.
Chelsea’s involvement in the ‘west London derby’ – a match against Brentford, Fulham or Queen’s Park Rangers – was quite regular from the turn of the Millennium up to the last top-flight meeting at Loftus Road in April 2015. It returned this season after a three-season hiatus.
Including December’s 2-0 win, in the league since 2010 the Blues have played the Cottagers nine times (five wins, four draws) and the Rs on six occasions (three wins, one draw, and two defeats).
Europa League Catch-Up
Dynamo Kiev’s leading Europa League marksman, winger Benjamin Verbic, will miss our meeting at the Bridge on Thursday as he serves a one-match ban for accruing three cautions.
That famous Chelsea comeback against Tottenham in May 2016 made champions of Claudio Ranieri’s then club, Leicester, but on Friday the Italian paid the price for falling short in a very different challenge across our parish. Parker picks up the baton with the Whites 19th in the table, eight points behind Cardiff a place above.
When they went down 2-0 in Wednesday’s ‘six-pointer’ at Southampton it was their fourth defeat in succession and left them 10 points shy of the Saints and safety. Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez, among others, has suggested 38 points will be the plimsoll line for Premier League survival this season.
Only Palace and Huddersfield have worse home records in the top flight than Fulham, although they have gathered 15 of their 17 points at Craven Cottage. They have conceded 63 goals, the most in the Premier League, and continuing at that rate over the remaining 10 games would place them in historic company.
Next weekend’s visitors Wolves, without a league win for a month and beaten at Huddersfield in midweek, are at home to relegation strugglers Cardiff on Saturday.
Subsidised £10 travel is available for supporters wishing to attend Chelsea Women’s FA Cup quarter-final tie at Durham Ladies on Sunday 17 March, a noon kick-off.
There will be another opportunity for John Terry to cast his eye over Chelsea youngsters when the Under-18s play Aston Villa at Bodymoor Heath on Saturday morning, an 11am kick-off.
THE BEST THAT CAN HAPPEN THIS WEEKEND…

It looks like a piece of gum you can purchase by the bag at any grocery. Don’t put it in your mouth, though, since there’s nothing edible about the GekkoGum. Instead, this clay-like substance is actually a highly-versatile mount that allows you to stick your phone, GoPro, and similarly-sized gadgets on any surface.
You know those reusable adhesives that let you stick your phone on a wall so you can take hands-free selfies? Well, it works the same way. Except, you know, this thing comes in a clay-like form that you can shape in any form you want. As such, it can be adjusted to accommodate less conventional mounting options, making it a more versatile alternative than the usual pads and tiles currently in use.
The GekkoGum is a sticky rubber compound that’s odorless and grease-free, so it won’t leave any residue, whether on your gadgets or the mounting surfaces. It can support a maximum 7oz of weight, which may not sound much, but covers, pretty much, every smartphone and action cam currently available in the market.
While it leaves no residue, the compound itself can accumulate dirt (especially when you stick it to trees and rocks), at which point, you can simply wash it under the tap. Each one comes packaged in a triangle-shaped wrap that can be reused over and over, so the compound doesn’t have to sit bare while stashed away in your bag.
A Kickstarter campaign is currently running for the GekkoGum. Pledges to reserve a unit starts at €15. | <urn:uuid:87601e71-65e2-4fa4-be3d-de5eef87a8e3> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.coolthings.com/gekkogum-smartphone-gopro-mount/ | 2020-07-07T19:52:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655894904.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707173839-20200707203839-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.926236 | 342 | [

The Canada Line | taking transportation into the future
The Canada Line is a 19 km, fully automated commuter rail line and part of Vancouver’s SkyTrain network, one of the largest of its kind in the world. It connects downtown Vancouver with existing heavy rail lines, bus services, commuter rail, sea bus and the airport. The driverless system includes eight underground, six elevated and two at-grade stations, as well as an operations and maintenance centre.
A new vision in transport
In 2005 SNC-Lavalin won the contract for the total works on the Canada Line. It was an exciting prospect for our teams across the roles and disciplines. Our work has extended through every part of the project lifecycle – from engineering, procurement and construction, to partial-finance, and the operation and maintenance services we provide today. As part of the public-private partnership in Vancouver’s public transit service, we provided a third of the equity and arranged hundreds of millions of dollars in loans.
The client needed the project finished before Vancouver welcomed the world for the Olympic Winter Games. Timelines were tight, with a project schedule of only 51 months. Our employees have an integrated approach, which encouraged communication and collaboration between the equity provider, designer, constructor and operations and maintenance team. More than 400 design, supply and construction contracts were efficiently managed and coordinated in this way. Our team’s approach paid off, with construction ending some 110 days ahead of the deadline.
Procuring the best vehicles
The Canada Line needed to be served by its own unique vehicle fleet. Our procurement team went about selecting the most technically suitable vehicle for the best price. Our engineers developed the performance specifications for the new rolling stock, carrying out design reviews and monitoring the fleet’s manufacturing, testing, and commissioning. We are proud to say our amazing teams delivered the vehicles on time and on budget.
Ongoing optimization of the line
Numerous innovations have led to new tools on the Canada Line to support excellence in operations and asset management. For example, our engineers developed new systems to monitor train and track conditions in real time along the length of the line. Plotting the variations in traction by location is helping us maintain extremely high availability performance.
Raising the bar on customer satisfaction
Our people share a common goal to provide excellence to our clients, and make a difference in the lives of everyday people. The Canada Line opened its doors to the public more than three months ahead of schedule and on budget. It has made an incredible difference to the growing communities all over British Columbia. Running at an average availability rate of 99.8%, the Canada Line is setting standards for ridership and customer satisfaction. Its success has led to plans to expand the service available on the line!

Online Casino No Deposit Bonuses
There are many types of online gambling promotions. One of the most popular is the online casino real money no deposit promotion.
As you can guess from the name, this is a casino bonus where you do not have to spend cash first. In most offers, you have to make a deposit first before you can claim the prize. For example, there are matched deposit bonuses where you receive a percentage of free cash based on your first payment.
Best No Deposit Online Casinos 2020
An online casino no deposit bonus is not like this. All you have to do, is register an account with the online gambling platform and you are given the casino no deposit bonus for free! This is what makes no deposit bonus casinos USA some of the best online gambling platforms available.
No deposit casinos give customers free cash and free spins for nothing in return! Who doesn’t want to benefit from free cash? In the text below, we delve deeply into this specific type of promotion. We look at how you can claim it, what are the common types, and what are the benefits of these fantastic rewards.
PayPal Casino No Deposit Bonus
A PayPal casino no deposit offer is one of the best available. Online casino real money PayPal no deposit rewards are brilliant because PayPal is such a fantastic payment method. If you make any winnings from your PayPal casino no deposit USA offer, you can withdraw the cash quickly into your PayPal account.
The main downside, however, is that the online casino no deposit bonus PayPal is not available for US customers. Although people can use PayPal free money, it is generally not available for use on US casinos.
As a result, instead of an online casino no deposit bonus PayPal offer, you should look at the other payment methods available. Visa, MasterCard, Neteller, and Skrill are popular payment methods and could be used instead of a PayPal casino no deposit bonus.
In most instances, an online casino PayPal withdrawal no deposit offer is not limited to one payment method. You should be able to use other payment methods to claim your free spins PayPal offer or no deposit PayPal casino reward.
Always check out the other payment methods available for a no deposit PayPal casino. Although PayPal may be listed as one of the payment methods, the promotion will not be tied to a specific payment method. This means that USA players can still benefit from the dividend. They would just have to use a different payment method other than PayPal.
Whilst PayPal is indeed one of the fastest payment methods for withdrawals, there are other fantastic payment methods too. Generally, other types of e-wallets like Neteller and Skrill have fast withdrawal times too – some even allow you to withdraw winnings from your promotion instantly.
Try and stay away from a standard bank transfer as this is generally the slowest payment method for withdrawals available. Bank transfers can take over 5 business days to process in some instances. This obviously depends on the bank being used. If you can use PayPal then great – it is a brilliant, secure payment method. But as we said, it is often not available for US players so other payment methods must be used.
How to Claim Free No Deposit Bonuses?
It is important that you understand how to claim a free casino money no deposit dividend. The casino will usually make the process straightforward and easy to follow. Although the process varies depending on the type of free money no deposit offer, we have given a general step-by-step outline below:
- Register an account with the no deposit online casino.
- Verify the account registration.
- Find the relating no deposit online casino offer and click the link.
- Enter the conus code or claim the offer.
- Use the online casino free bonus!
It is literally that simple. For example, an online slots real money no deposit bonus would involve claiming the free spins and then using them on the relative game.
Online Casino Real Money No Deposit Bonus
In the below sections we look specifically at the different types of online casino real money no deposit rewards. Three of the most common casino no deposit bonus win real money offers are free spins, blackjack, and roulette – we analyse each of these free online casino games win real money no deposit below.
First, some platforms do actually offer online casino USA no deposit bonus free cash too. Literally, some online gambling platforms will give small sums of free cash, as opposed to offers that relate to a specific game.
The value of these casino no deposit bonus win real money USA dividends is often small. We would not expect to see a win real money online instantly USA no deposit value higher than $20. In most instances the value of the offer is between $5-15. This might not seem like a large amount, but remember that you do not have to pay anything first!
So yes, the value may be small, but you are getting a real money casino ndb USA without emptying your bank balance! This contrasts greatly to other platforms that provide matched bonuses. In these casinos, you must spend first – often larger values greater than $50 before you can claim any rewards.
Sure, the rewards are higher, but you still have to spend first! Why not benefit for free instead and claim one of these fantastic offers? In the sections below, we look in more detail at three of the popular dividend types – free spins on slot games, no deposit blackjack offers, and no deposit roulette prizes:
Free spins are one of the most common offers you can gain. There is a plethora of real money slots no deposit free spins available. Usually, a platform will offer real money slots no deposit free spins USA on popular slot titles like Book of Dead, Starburst, or Fire Joker.
These free spins no deposit USA offers typically provide between 5-25 spins for free. The terms and conditions of the online casino free spins no deposit USA rewards will state the quantity of the spins. Furthermore, they will also state which games you can use the free spins bonus on. In addition to this, it will also state the maximum bet value for each slot roll.
Oftentimes, the online slots real money no deposit offer has a small maximum bet value. In slot games, you can alter the individual value of your bet – known as the line bet. For the free slots win real money no deposit required offer, the value is often limited to $0.50 or $0.25 pet spin.
Don’t bet put off by this though. Using a real money slots no deposit offer, you can still potentially win some epic prizes. For example, you could use your free slots no deposit win real money dividend on Book of Dead. For your first spin, you could potentially hit the jackpot and win thousands of dollars in return – all for free!
When using a no deposit slots win real money reward, you must consider the following:
- Which games you can play on.
- The maximum value of the line bet.
- Wagering requirements for winnings.
- Time limitation for using the free spins.
As mentioned above, in most instances you cannot simply pick whichever game you want to play on. The casino limits free slots win real money no deposit required USA bonuses to specific games. In most instances, one single game, or a handful of popular games.
Also, be sure of the maximum line bet. Oftentimes, the casino will actively limit the bet value so that it is not possible to exceed the limit. It is always advised to know yourself what the maximum bet value is, however.
These dividends do not usually last indefinitely either. The free spins have an expiry period and you must use them and clear any wagering requirements within that specific period too. Always check the terms and conditions and read them fully. The terms and conditions will contain all the information you require so that you can use the free spins properly and not violate any of the casinos rules.
Blackjack No Deposit Bonus
Blackjack with PayPal is another amazing game and one that often has associated rewards. You can find many online real money no deposit bonus blackjack promotions. This classic card game involves trying to get a hand with cards equal to a value of 21 – the best combination is an Ace worth 11, and a picture card worth 10.
A play blackjack real money no deposit offer will usually give you a small number of blackjack hands for free. In most instances, the no deposit real money blackjack bet values are limited. Regardless, you can still use these fantastic no deposit blackjack win real money dividends to win cash prizes.
When using a play blackjack online for real money no deposit promotion, be sure that you understand the game and the different terminology. You should understand the basics like hit, bust, stick, and double down. For example, hit means that you want to draw another card, whereas stick means that you want to stick with the hand that you have got.
Roulette No Deposit Bonus
An online roulette real money no deposit offer is one of the most popular available. This is because roulette is an immensely popular game that thousands of people enjoy. There are three main variations of roulette – American, European, and French. Each have the same basic gameplay mechanics with small differences.
In American roulette, for example, there is a 00 number as well as the standard 0. Online roulette with no deposit is fun to play and can give you an exciting casino experience. A platform may provide a free roulette real money no deposit dividend where you can play a select amount of roulette games for free.
The free roulette no deposit win real money offers usually limit the value of bets you can place on the table. Nonetheless, there are fantastic promotions that allow you to experience a new game, but also potentially win some cool cash prizes.
We advise choosing offers for European roulette if possible – this is the roulette game that offers the best winning percentage in comparison to American roulette.
US No Deposit Bonus T&C’s
Any online casino with free signup bonus real money USA offers have terms and conditions. To win real money online casino for free, you should check these terms and conditions carefully.
You can usually find the online casino USA no deposit bonus terms and conditions on the dedicated offer page. Simply click on the offer link and scroll down – beneath the standard information, you can always find the T&C section.
This section for casino no deposit bonus win real money USA offers contains a full breakdown of the rules and regulations relating to an offer. You must comply with these terms and conditions and ensure that you understand them fully – if you do not, you can risk invalidating the promotion and not receiving any dividends at all.
Wagering Your Deposit Bonus
So you have claimed your amazing no deposit bonus USA and you are ready to spend it! But how do you do so and what must you consider when wagering your no deposit bonus codes? There is several things to consider including:
- Wagering requirements
- Time limitations
- Game limitations
Firstly, wagering requirements are one of the most important things to consider. No deposit online casinos often place wagering requirements on their promotions. For example, a 5x wagering requirement could be imposed.
This means that you must spend 5x the offer amount before making a withdrawal. In most instances, because the amounts are lower, casino online no deposit promotions often have minimal wagering requirements, or non at all.
Secondly, look at time limitations. Online casinos no deposit bonus offers usually have an expiry date. Firstly, you may have to claim it within a certain time period from when you register your account. Secondly, the bonuses may only last for a set time period too.
Thirdly, and finally, there is often game limitations too. In most instances, when using free spins, you can only use them on specific game. In addition, some platforms may exclude certain game types for free money promotions too.
Wagering your funds may seem difficult – but all you have to do is read the terms and conditions carefully. Ensure you understand them, and that you comply with them when spending your cash.
No Deposit Bonus Requirements and Restrictions
Why trying to use a free cash bonus no deposit casino promo, you must always read the requirements and restrictions. These can be found in the real money casino no deposit terms and conditions. The platform should always have a general terms and conditions section relating to the whole casino. Furthermore, it should have a dedicated section relating to each individual no deposit online casinos USA dividend.
Typical restrictions include:
– Age limits for legal gambling
– Limitations on claiming the online casino games no deposit per household
– Limitations on claiming the offer per unique IP address
– Time limitation in which the offer expires
– Time limitation in which you must use the dividends
Aside from restrictions, there could also be casino no deposit requirements too. Typically, these may be wagering requirements.
Wagering requirements are something applied to most casino deposit bonus offers. They are a figure or multiplier by which you must spend your bonus funds before making a withdrawal. For example, there could be a 50x wagering requirement. If you got a $10 promo, it means you would have to spend $500 before making any withdrawal from the dividends.
Always be sure that you have checked for wagering requirements. In addition, ensure you have checked for other requirements and restrictions. This is so you can avoid disappointment, and make sure you get the most out of the promotion.
To conclude, we have created a handful of FAQ questions – hopefully this should clear up any other questions you have about this type of dividend!
- Is no deposit bonus really free?
- Yes! That is the whole point of this type of dividend – so that you can gain some extra funds of free spins without spending any money. The value of these promotions isn’t usually high – this offsets to the casino the fact that you are not making any deposits first.
- Should I be a new player for this type of bonuses?
- In most instances yes – this type of promotion usually applies to new players only. Typically, one of the conditions is that you must have a new registered account. Some promotions can apply to existing customers, however. These could be weekly or monthly offers – for example, a casino might give existing customer free spins on slot games or even prizes on their birthday.
- Can I win a real money with no deposit bonus?
- Yes of course. All promotions on these online casinos can win you real money. The amount varies depending on the type of bonus – for example, winnings on free slot spins could be much greater if you get a huge jackpot. The most important factor is to always look at the terms and conditions – these will state exactly what real money you can win, and how you can win it.
- How to claim no deposit bonus?
- This varies depending on the offer. Usually, you must enter a bonus code or the promotion is automatically credited when you do a certain thing. In most instances, for promotions that do not require payment, you will get the reward as soon as you register your new account. Again, always read the terms and conditions to be sure of how to claim the dividends. | <urn:uuid:899ec90f-faa4-4c32-b7db-0eafdaa2a00b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://gamblingcomet.com/paypal-casino-no-deposit/ | 2020-07-11T11:26:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655929376.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711095334-20200711125334-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.918366 | 3,148 | [

Of all life’s big questions – who am I, why am I here, what do I believe in – undoubtedly the one I’ve spent the most time wondering is which super power I would have if I could pick one. Maybe that’s why I’ve stuck around as the guy enjoying the MCU while everyone else got bored and left, only to occasionally pop in just to see if I’m OK. This stuff is important to me, probably too important. And it’s because I care so much that I started watching Agents of SHIELD, though it’s not the only reason I keep watching. That’s because this year saw the show flirt with being truly good, before ultimately settling with being highly entertaining.
That might sound like what a praised the last half of the first season Agents of SHIELD for, but it’s different this time. Those episodes worked because something exciting happened in Captain America: The Winter Solider and we got to see the effects of that play out on TV. With that gone, I was afraid the show would revert back to being as difficult to sit through as it had been before, and for the first few episodes of this season, it kind of looked that way.
It picked up some time after Hydra’s attempt to destroy SHIELD was thwarted, with Coulson directing the new, underground version of the organization toward defeating Hyrda and figuring out the mystery of the alien stuff inside him and Skye. The team added some new members in Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird from the comics) and Lance Hunter (snarky British guy who was annoying at first, then really fun) and spent the early days going on missions and running away before the US government could catch them. It was OK. And then Inhumans started showing up.
Inhumans are people who posses inside them the potential to have super powers as long as they are exposed to magical alien gas. They are a result of aliens interfering in human development a long time ago and it can be argued that every Marvel super hero is technically inhuman. But in practical terms, they are a sub-group in the comic who are due to come to prominence in the MCU, especially since they can’t use mutants. That they debuted on this TV show is a big deal.
Agents of SHIELD is always better when there are more super powers on display, so having inhumans automatically makes the show better. But they also gave the show something to worry about that is important to the MCU without being tied directly to it. While playing off Winter Soldier made the show fun last year, this year Age of Ultron barely made a dent on the show. And that was OK because the show had its own story to tell.
At the center of that story was Skye, the character that needed the most work following season one. Fortunately, the writers put that work in, building Skye up into an agent who could hold her own in the field before revealing that she was really Daisy Johnson, a.k.a. Quake, and giving her sweet vibration powers. More than the cool power scenes though, the show also made Skye a surprisingly tragic figure by linking her “birth” as an inhuman with the death of a member of the team and introducing tons of family drama in the form of her long lost parents. Speaking of which, Skye’s dad is played by Kyle Maclachlan, who is the best thing to happen to this show (sorry, Patton Oswalt).
While the first MCU show, Agents of SHIELD has yet to reach the highs of its siblings Agent Carter and Daredevil (which reminds me, I should write something about Daredevil). But I always looked forward to it on Tuesday nights this year, which was a nice change of pace. I’m excited to see where it goes from here, and happy that ABC decided not to break up the ensemble by doing that ill-advised spin-off. Everything has started to click, the best thing to do is leave it alone. | <urn:uuid:814c3595-bc96-4119-bfe7-6854c0accada> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.mildlypleased.com/2015/05/secret-wars/ | 2020-07-11T10:59:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655929376.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711095334-20200711125334-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.979839 | 840 | [

Most Premier League wins all time
Manchester United dominance in the Premier League has contributed to most Premier League wins of all time and since it’s inception in 1992 the Premier League has been won by five different teams with Manchester United leading with the most Premier League titles since it was formed 1992.
Total titles won
Manchester United has dominated the Premier League since it’s inception in 1992 winning the title 13 times in 24 seasons winning more than half with the other four teams sharing the 10 remaining whileTeams in bold compete in the Premier League as of the 2017–18 season.
|Preston North End||2||6|
|West Bromwich Albion||1||2|
|Queen’s Park Rangers||0||1|
Most Premier League wins manager
Manchester United has won 13 Premier League titles under the management of Scotish manager Sir Alex Ferguson whereas no other manager has won that many titles and will probably never do it either.
Sir Alex Ferguson played a huge part in this Manchester United dominance period as he managed all the 13 seasons which Manchester United have won the Premier League title.
Sir Alex and the Premier League
His dominance in the Premier League made him quote this after he was asked what his greatest challenge was ”My greatest challenge is not what’s happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch. And you can print that”.
Since the retiring of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 Manchester United have never won the Premier League.

Most Premier League wins in a row
Manchester United has most Premier League wins in a row. Man Utd has won tree times in row on two occasions during the seasons 1992-1995 and 1998-2001.
Chelsea has won the Premier League twice in a row on only one occasion during 2014-2016. No other team has ever won more then one time in row.
The most consecutive Premier League wins goes to Man United and we will probably never see a team win more then once in row.
Most Points Accumulated in A Season
Who have accumulated the most points in a season? The record number of points accumulated by a team is Chelsea with 95 points during the 2004-2005 season. And the lowest points accumulated is by Derby County who were relegated with 11 points.
However, that has completely changed in the last two seasons. Once Pep got a hold of the league, he won 100 points in the 2017-18 season, setting a new record.
He came close again last season, when he won the league again with 98 points although Liverpool did run him close with 97 points, which was another record for a team to collect that many points and not win the league.
City are aiming to defend their Premier League title for a second time in a row and make it three straight league titles like Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United did. However, they are being currently undone by a brilliant Liverpool team who have started with 8 wins out 8 matches.
City are hovering at 16 points, having already lost two games and drawn one. It promises to be yet another exciting league for the fans to watch as the Premier League season rolls on. | <urn:uuid:16bfa028-1951-4561-a37d-847d64b61d91> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://sillyseason.com/list/premier-league-winners-list-by-year-all-time-past-winners-68878/ | 2020-07-13T03:58:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.897109 | 1,090 | [

Infrastructure to bigger cities is pretty well provided in China. Selling in hypermarkets and supermarkets all-natural and healthy vegetables is constantly increasing. For the future, with growing population, it will only become more and more. So more competition in future will be the case. The earlier we start with a brand the bigger it can become. Leading is being first and competitors have minor impact. | <urn:uuid:326fce67-a1db-46a4-9094-a1b7af7b8ecd> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.greenhouseoperation.nl/sales | 2020-07-13T04:42:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.966403 | 77 | [

Creative: Artist, Writer, Media, Spoken-word Poet
Tokelauan, Samoan, German
I was born and raised in Wellington. I grew up in a quiet, little, southern suburb called Happy Valley. The area was largely a new development of houses over a mountain range that had a valley running through it. My school was in the valley and my childhood home was situated on one of those hills overlooking the coast. It sounds like a fairytale and it kinda was.
Funny, as a kid, I used to think that Fräulein Maria lived on the mountain facing my bedroom window because it looked just like the one in the movie ('The Sound of Music').
Every weekend, Dad - an avid fisherman, would go diving and netting for our food by the Red Rocks. Sometimes he took his beloved boat out. When I was six years old, I remember running around the foundations of our home as it was being built and trying to dart the floor plans which my parents had helped design together. It was really a blessed time and those memories are among my fave. I have eleven other siblings and I'm the eldest. I'm of half Tokelauan descent (from dad) and a quarter Samoan, and a quarter German (from mum).
What were the greatest challenges for you growing up?
My parents separating when I was twelve years old really rocked my world. My mother moved away with my baby sister and my father raised myself and two other sisters from then on. We spent the years that followed trying to navigate a new way of living and being a family. It was strange, painful and daunting. I don't know how we managed. Actually I do - God! We aided each other with so much love (Dad did such an amazing job of showing us how) but struggled in it too because, I think, the natural instinct in these situations is to overcompensate for the lack. As the first born, I was always trying to mask the obvious need for a mother, but we survived.
Ironically, the second greatest challenge was us becoming a different kind of family. One with step-parents and step-children. Often these situations mean that people are thrust into one another's lives and expected to stick beautifully. Yet I don't know why we assume that when we know that relational dynamics can be so complex. I guess everyone is always hoping for the best. Our family experienced what I believe is common in these situations; an unspoken emotional imposition. In hindsight, we could have really done with some trained mediating and coaching to support a healthy transition. We took the hard route.
I am so grateful that we've made it out of both challenges with restored relationships. God really enabled that. But I'm always sobered by the reality that the frame of family affects the picture of self. We really need love and wisdom to help protect the vulnerable. I hope we can get better at supporting these various frameworks, as a community, in our country.
What do you love most about your culture(s)?
It's the intrinsic value of my culture that I love the most. My father's example to me was that culture is less about a way of doing or being, and more a way of carrying. Dad carries his home - Fakaofo, Tokelau - in his heart and spirit. I know no greater way to describe it than that. When dad speaks of Tokelau his eyes immediately water, his shoulders roll back, his countenance lifts and his brown skin radiates with deep fondness. And he sings! His homeland is so dear to him. Growing up, Dad would tell me boisterous stories of fun and misadventure, as well as deep stories of intrigue, bond and sadness. He has always spoken of his seniors with such pride.
Just thinking about what Tokelau means to dad makes me tear up. I've never been there but I feel like I have. The culture of Tokelau is one of sincerity and simplicity, musicality and generosity in the spirit of joy and love. We are few in number, but mighty when counted.
See Te Vaka in 'Moana'...I was so empowered by their creative contribution in the Disney film.
What I love about my Samoan culture, through my mother's eyes, is the resilience and resourcefulness of a people who have a strong sense of familial loyalty. There are no limits to what we'll do for one another. The oral traditions, that I've only observed from afar, are an extremely beautiful element of our culture too. I'd love to learn more.
What are the greatest lessons you have learned (in terms of life lessons)?
Freedom is forgiving.
Despite some rough years, the dreamer in me always believed that I was destined to live a great life. Straight out of high school, I set out on a quest to find what I could only describe as my freedom and road to the dream life. But after almost a decade of roadblocks, I realised that no matter where in the world I went, there would be no great life because there was no freedom on the inside. I had carried around a debilitating bitterness for years over the disappointments from my youth. It showed up in my rabid emotional turmoil and chronic sickness as an adult. The injustices kept me so bound. At 26, I discovered that the freedom I craved could only really be satisfied by a deep trust and acceptance of God's love. Liberty really is that simple.
The love of God is like a satiating water fountain that fills every depth and crevice of your heart (oddly but perfectly, my absent mother's name is Paepaepuna meaning 'spring of water'). Once I chose to completely side with God's truth and forgive, the healing busted in and freedom busted out (Hello, dream life!)
Don't bend to blend.
We live in a culture where it's hard to be you. I've had to practise not letting the world around me dictate or define the one on the inside. Over the years and in all sorts of ways, I've felt so much pressure to change what I value just to be accepted or to subtly blend in. Being brave in those moments has helped to define me. My voice is something I've had to fight for. I'm a spoken word poet, but I learned the value of my voice on the pavement of life, not on a stage. At times, I've had to stand up and stand alone for my views. Other times, I've just had to quietly determine in my heart who I was and hold confidently to that, despite naysayers. Don't be bulldozed out of your own unique skin! Each of us is here for a unique purpose and we won't fulfil that purpose being someone else. I remember once, caving into the pressure and blending in. It was a slow death. You lose your sense of self, as well the peace and the joy that's attached to your identity.
It's depressing and not worth it.
Integrity is everything.
I really believe integrity breeds excellence. It's something I try to holdfast to and helps me manage the small things; keep myself in check. Success is in the little things! There is a biblical adage 'faithful with the small, ruler over much' which nudges at my conscience constantly.
It holds the idea that taking care of responsibilities honestly, however seemingly unimportant, will open doors for you. I've known this. Big comes when you can handle it. Go hard on the small stuff. Integrity is a good way to school yourself.
Last year you traveled! Can you talk about where you went and some of your incredible experiences on that trip?
Yeah, it was a dream! 14 countries over a span of 7 months, but my particular highlight was smashing out Turkey, Spain, Greece and Africa within a 3-month period.
Turkey was right in the middle of political strain and threats of terrorism when I traveled over. Many international travellers were cancelling their plans, but I couldn't. I really felt a strong sense of purpose to go there and it didn't disappoint. Over 2 weeks, I covered 2000 miles of Turkish country and got to know the way of the people. I loved it! Had tea with the locals, traversed mountains, sat in ancient ruins, braved the markets, explored historic caves and stood tall in Gallipoli.
Because I'm an artist, the vast forms of craftsmanship there were thrilling to me (literally cried!). From the weavers that ached just to thread fine mats, to potters sculpting masterful pieces to make ends meet; the high fashion fanfare with their relentless sellers, to the simple street swag of common Turkish ladies. Inspiring! The fear portrayed by media news about Turkey was nowhere near what I experienced. It's a place full of history, nature and colour.
Their food is the best of all the countries I travelled to. And the hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, along with 50 other balloons, was breathtaking.
Greece was a symphony of simplicity and stillness, heightened by a basic colour palette and the most killer views. I found my favourite place on planet Earth right here while sailing around the Greek Islands. Mykonos!! An island characterised by its sugar cube stone housing and narrow cobblestone paths, designed to keep the neighbours in close proximity to one another. So Greek! The stores are rustic and quaint, and the cafes and restaurants on the water seem to go on for days. It's a writers dream. My favourite bit of all was my own personal room that looked like it had been chiseled out of the cleft of a rock. It was nestled under a refurbished windmill. I watched large ships come in and out like I belonged there. Wow, I haven't even mentioned Santorini...
Kenya turned my heart inside out. Next to my work in the arts and media, I've had a burning passion for orphans.
When I was a youth, I watched a documentary about orphans in Romania and it did something to my conscience. With their stories and mine in tow, I've long carried a conscious message of hope for anyone who has ever felt forgotten or abandoned - 'You have a home!'
I was so blessed to be able to embody this message for a few precious babies in a little orphanage in Kiambu County in Kenya.
Their names were Kent, Robin, Valerie, Prince, Yann and Quinton. I felt like a lion surrounded by these little cubs. I got to hold them and pray for them, speak seed words of life into their big brown eyes. It was home for me in a way that I can't say about any other time in my life.
Tanzania took me on an intrepid journey that I never thought I'd be ready for. Lol. You see, I tend to prefer the finer things in life, so I don't know what possessed me to sign up for a safari in the wild - ghetto styles. I camped, for the second time ever (first was like over thirty years ago) out in the Serengeti, smack bang in the lion's circumference, with no fencing between me and the wildlife of lion, buffalo, hyena etc. During the dark, my friends and I were walking back-to-back in secure clusters, shining torches in every direction. During the day, zebra chilled out and grazed close by, while we dodge their animal poop to get to our meals. No camp experience will ever compare to trying to sleep under an African sky and being startled by the sound of a herd of gazelles running through the night. It was crazy thrilling!
I realised one definitive life lesson in Africa - we are capable of so much more than we think. #zawadisha
Where do you see yourself in 10 years from now?
The precise problem with visionaries - Where do I not see myself?
Life experience thus far lends me to believe that I couldn't even begin to conceive what awesome things lay ahead. I never could have dreamt up what I've lived so far. But, if I was a betting woman, I'd say that I'd be living in another country, with an exquisite colourful family, a few published books and have produced some of my script work for film.
I see some other things on the horizon, but I'll let the heat of the sun/Son bring them up! | <urn:uuid:39c80bba-c3ac-460c-bc9f-3eb7fc13d05e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.thecoconet.tv/coco-talanoa/humans-of-the-islands/humans-of-the-islands-luti-richards/ | 2020-07-13T05:53:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.978436 | 2,585 | [

Today’s activists don’t need validation from the mainstream media - they have the tools to take control of their image on their own terms.
Illustration by Rafa Alvarez
Recently, I came across a video of student protests in Bulgaria, where I was born and raised. It wasn’t long until I realized the video was streaming in real time. Yvo Bojkov, a citizen journalist, was broadcasting police intimidation live to thousands of people around the world -- and he was doing it all from his cell phone. This was during one of many student-led demonstrations in front of the Bulgarian Parliament that protested the government’s corruption and ties with the mafia.
My current work at Roadside Theater includes integrating four decades of its culturally specific, place-based community cultural development work into its website, within the context of the theater’s ongoing live practice. Our goal is to enable communities to draw on culture as a resource in solving their own problems in a fair and just manner.
According to Roadside’s Philosophy of Change, “effective grassroots organizing around issues of social justice invariably begins small. The basic unit of such organizing is the individual discovering through experience, reflection, and study of his or her own truth of the issue, then testing and developing that truth in dialog with others who also have knowledge.”
In 2010, two friends and I made a documentary that filmed first-hand accounts of communism in Bulgaria. How could such accounts grow our collective awareness? Preserving and analyzing different perspectives of pivotal times in history is crucial to understanding the current events in Bulgaria, but how do we "test and develop that truth in dialog with others who also have knowledge"? Media plays an important part in answering this question around the world.
In 1983, about 50 corporations owned the vast majority of all news media in the United States. Today, this number has been reduced to six. While we can’t control corporate media consolidations, we can choose to direct our attention away from the 24-hour news cycle and towards a more human-oriented field: citizen journalism. Supporting and participating in citizen journalism in our communities is a way to engage with our immediate surroundings and disengage from what others want us to believe. It can open the door to genuine dialog, rather than talking points followed by commercial breaks.
The power dynamics in Bulgaria are no different. A case in point is how protests are reflected in the country's mainstream media: the videos are edited, the protesters are vilified, and the political “talk shows,” as their name implies, sensationalize the issues while keeping them abstract and shallow. Such paranoid response by the mainstream wing of the Fourth Estate underlines its true purpose – to spread apathy, fear, and division. (In terms of physiological effects of such fear mongering, a recent study from the University of California-Irvine about exposure to media coverage of the Boston marathon bombings concluded that wall-to-wall coverage of the bombings was more stressful than being there.)

Meanwhile, the Bulgarian students and their supporters continue to organize, issue declarations, expose corruption, and hold debates –- none of which reach the traditional media channels. The grassroots movement is ignored and the ideas that led to its fruition are completely absent from televised debates. The general public perceives these actions as occurring on the spur of the moment, when in fact they are a sign of deeply rooted “from the ground up” initiatives. Corporate media will never explore why these movements are happening. If they acknowledge them at all, they will exploit the where, when, and how.
It is up to the newer generations to enhance and repurpose successful community building models using the tools that are available today. The student protests in Bulgaria started with a handful of students discovering their own truth of the issues, which resonated with a portion of the population. “Testing and developing that truth in dialogue with others” is what will create a “generative base for devising and enacting solutions.”
Will Big Media continue to have a monopoly on information in communities which now have the capability of examining their collective knowledge? A community that is interested in solving its own problems doesn’t need 15 minutes of fame; it needs a network of people working together, rather than a network working for a corporation.
Mobile technology can make it easier for this to happen, as anyone with access to it can tell their story, or listen to the stories of others, publicly. How can these stories have an impact that generates change? What needs to happen, in addition to crowd protests, for change to occur?
Roadside Theater would say that change develops through live, intentional, meaningful interactions among a cross-section of a community, because “the people with the problem have the most knowledge about the problem, and need to be the generative base for solutions to the problem.” What can community-based artists do?
- Use story circles to gather and study “first voice” narratives that enrich a community’s collective knowledge of itself;

TMS and The UAE
The United Arab Emirates is a home away from home. The glorious past of the UAE has ensured present and future generations will enjoy a proud historical and cultural heritage. Through field trips the students explore the monuments, historic sites and museums and dive into the deep unique past of the intriguing emirates. In house celebrations on important days help the school community imbibe traditional Arab and Islamic values. We participate in all the events conducted by different organizations across the UAE and take pride in celebrating the lessons that can be learned from the past, which can enrich our present and future.
UAE National DayNational Day was celebrated with great pomp and fervour on 28th November 2019. The celebration was graced by the presence of Mr. Essa Al Mulla, Chief of National Workforce Development, Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
UAE Flag DayThe Flag is the embodiment not of sentiment, but of history.
On 3rd November 2019, TMS commemorated Flag Day in its full splendour. The positive spirit of the Union was celebrated by hoisting the flag and singing the U.A.E. National Anthem. In addition to that, a myriad of class activities in every grade facilitated our students to renew their national essence and consciousness towards the nation.
An array of engaging activities sealed the day with indelible memories and spirit of nationhood representing the unity of seven emirates under one leadership. | <urn:uuid:052f6c69-3ce3-4225-95a3-2d6622b47a6d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.themillenniumschool-dubai.com/About-Us/Our-Community/TMS-and-The-UAE | 2021-10-16T00:42:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583087.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20211015222918-20211016012918-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.939376 | 294 | [

Having a small kitchen can feel like a deal breaker in terms of hosting parties or even just enjoying making dinner. If you want your small kitchen to feel a little bigger, try out these suggestions to make the most out of your space.
Poor lighting can make any room look smaller, let alone if the space is already on the tinier side. Increase the lighting in the kitchen and add window treatments if your budget allows for it.
Keep it simple
We all want the fanciest kitchen in town, but if the space isn’t there, adding too many colors, patterns, and decor can crowd the room and make it look tacky. Instead, keep it as simple as possible with the design.
Store things away
Sure, keeping things on the counters is convenient, but it also makes the kitchen look cluttered and disorganized. A few items are okay, but don’t overcrowd an area that’s already lacking space. Invest in storage that will keep the counters free from clutter.
Incorporating white into your color palette is another great way to brighten up your small space. It will reflect the natural light coming in, opening up the room as a whole.
Bring the eye upwards
Part of making a small space look bigger—any space, for that matter—is drawing the eye up. If you have space above your cabinets to store a few key items, place them there. Fake plants or even a chic wallpaper print will do the trick as well. | <urn:uuid:1dee7bba-14a0-4e2d-85ca-7e891e1e6fa1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://americanlifestylemag.com/home/home-improvement/make-small-kitchen-look-bigger/ | 2021-10-17T10:20:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585171.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017082600-20211017112600-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.935595 | 307 | [

Pseudo Freedom or True Freedom?
People want freedom. They fight for freedom too. But many do so without knowing the true meaning of it. To some, freedom means the right to do whatever they want and like. They think that freedom should not have any boundaries. But they do not know that by seeking freedom they are losing freedom. Pseudo freedom is about gratifications of our flesh. When we pursue it, we become enslaved by our flesh. We end up having problem controlling ourselves. We are what the Bible calls enslavement to our sins. True freedom is not the right to do whatever we want or like. It is being “enslaved” to righteousness. True freedom does have a boundary. But it is not an external discipline about do’s and don’t’s. If so, it would only be behavioral and superficial which is not sustainable in the long run. Sad to say, many people run on this mode, that’s why their lives are not changed and following Christ become a chore to them. True freedom is about redefining the boundary in our conscience through the impact of the Word and the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God convicts us within not just what is sinful, but also what is righteous, thus redefining the boundary within us. It is an awakening call for our marred conscience. When the boundary is redefined, we would act upon what is right naturally without the need to enforce a discipline on ourselves. How many of us need to be reminded that it is wrong to steal or murder? Hardly, because our conscience has already been rightly defined for us those sins. The more the boundary is being redefined, the more freedom we would experience. We become free in Christ and therefore no longer subject to the law of Christ because the law is already written in our hearts! Don’t fight for pseudo freedom that leads to turmoil. Pursue true freedom in Christ and we will have peace within. | <urn:uuid:c8355acb-43c8-4612-ae73-f3ab7f594ff9> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://centrefortransformationanddevelopment.com/2012/08/09/pseudo-freedom-or-true-freedom/ | 2021-10-18T20:19:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585209.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018190451-20211018220451-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96292 | 403 | [

|Gramercy Books, Bexley, OH|
Readers, I wish my abilities of expression were better so I could give you a true picture of how wonderful these many bookstores are. I feel especially deficient when trying to accurately portray Gramercy Books in Bexley, OH. No two bookstores are alike and beauty comes in all shapes, but there's no way around describing this indie as anything other than a very beautiful store. It's obvious that a great deal of thought went into the planning of their space. The design, the paint work and wall quotes, display windows, a four-sided message board near the check-out counter, and so much more. Heck, even the bathrooms were beautiful and fragrant (speaking only for the men's; did not get a visual or tour of the women's). But like all my other visits, the beauty of the store is only exceeded by the niceness of the wonderful people you'll meet at Gramercy Books who are the ones that give the store its true sparkle.
Gramercy Books is a medium-sized, one-level bookstore that is extremely well arranged. They offer all new books and a diversity of sidelines. Despite its medium size, I thought the store really offered lots of inventory without feeling crowded. It's very easy to browse here and is connected to Kittie's, a small cafe, on the inside. These are two separate businesses that compliment each other very well. The store is already hosting many events, both on-site and off. They have a great partnership with the local library right across the street and are able to use their auditorium for large events, a great arrangement for both.
The people you meet at Gramercy Books are the best. Linda K., the owner, Debbie B., the store's manager, and Nikki, one of the booksellers are all wonderful. People like these make visiting bookstores a blast and one of the reasons I encourage everyone to explore this fulfilling experience instead of an impersonal click and submit on the internet.
Regular readers, have you noticed anything over the last year or so of my visits? Gramercy is part of a trend that I'm seeing just about everywhere. Indies are returning, they're growing, and they're sustaining. This store is now part of that movement and if you're in the Columbus, OH area visit this place and find out why. Discover the rewarding experience and be part of something positive. Shop local, buy local, Bexley. Congratulations Linda. Go to an indie and buy a book. Bonsoir.

Frontier Adds Routes to Philadelphia International Airport
Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines will add new routes to the Philadelphia International Airport this spring, according to the Business Journal.
Starting March 13th, Frontier will reportedly add year-round flights between Philly and Houston – available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday – and seasonal flights to West Palm Beach, Florida until April 19th.
The carrier will also expand its flight attendant base in both Philadelphia and Trenton. According to the Business Journal, Frontier plans to build a crew room at the Philadelphia Airport as its crew in the city grows from about 70 to 150 members.
Frontier has long been expanding in Philadelphia. This past January, the airline added 10 nonstop flights from Philadelphia to cities across the U.S. Many of those nonstop routes were only previously available through American Airlines.
At the time, Frontier President Barry Biffle said in a statement that having more options in big cities – and thus more competition – works to drive down overall flight prices. In fact, Philadelphia’s Dan McQuade once flew Frontier from Philly to Miami for just 30 bucks.

UNSW Sydney is the highest-ranking institution in Australia for contributions to scientific research in the natural sciences in the 2020 Nature Index.
UNSW ranked first in Australia out of the 42 academic institutions in the country that contributed to high-quality scientific research papers published in the world’s top scientific journals in 2019.
Overall, UNSW climbed three places to 86th from 89th globally last year out of 500 universities and Australia ranked 10th in the world for research output.
Among the four broad subject areas, UNSW ranked first in Australia and 90th in the world for Chemistry and second in the country for both Physical Sciences and Earth & Environmental Sciences. The Nature Index also ranked UNSW 31st in the world on its list of fast-rising academic institutions in the area of Life Sciences.
“Our rise up the Nature Index is a clear pay off from our ambitious 2025 Strategy, moving from a more modest 106th position just two years ago,” said Professor Nicholas Fisk, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research at UNSW. “UNSW’s 5.5% improvement in score over the last year compared to a 0.3% Go8 average is exemplary and validates the excellence and commitment of our academics in this space.”
The Nature Index tracks by institution research published in 82 natural science journals, selected on reputation by an independent panel of leading scientists in their fields. These represent fewer than 5% of the journals covering the natural sciences in Web of Science, but account for close to 30% of total citations. The 2020 tables are based on Nature Index data from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019, and reveal the countries and institutions leading the way in high-quality global science.
Chinese institutions now dominate the Nature Index rankings, claiming four of the top 10 positions on the league table compared to two last year. Chinese predominance is even more pronounced on the overall list of “rising stars”: in the last 5 years, 84 of the top 100 fastest rising universities have been from China, and just one university outside of China is included in the top 50. No Australian university is listed in the top 100.
Professor Fisk said UNSW’s collaborative initiatives with Chinese institutions including the Qingdao International Academician Park and the Torch partnership are vital to UNSW’s success as a world-leading research institution.
“The continued rise in the rankings of leading Chinese universities validates UNSW’s focus on quality partnerships and collaborations to pursue top notch discovery science,” Professor Fisk said.
David Swinbanks, Founder of the Nature Index, said: “The Nature Index Annual Tables show that large, well-funded, well established institutions continue to perform strongly in terms of high-quality research output in the natural sciences. But we can also see that smaller, younger institutions are very capable of moving quickly to perform extremely well alongside their older, more established peers.” | <urn:uuid:3990b050-6d75-426d-81d6-b1336b30ad28> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-tech/unsw-tops-australian-universities-2020-nature-index | 2021-10-20T07:23:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.930683 | 605 | [

The Far East is among the most attractive, yet least accessible tourist destinations
Over the last five years, travellers have shown a fairly high interest in this territory. <…> Though popular, it has never become a destination for mass tourism. <…> Most likely, because of its expensiveness and remoteness. <…> The whole tourist traffic to the Far East (it includes a bit of the Arctic) is just 11.9% of the country’s total tourist traffic. For such a vast territory as the Far East, this is a fairly low number. Yet, it has a great potential for taking the tourist traffic up to a whole new level — Olga Surikova, Director, Tax and legal, KPMG in the CIS.
The Far East is the place of power for us. <…> This is the territory of pristine nature, where we can build modern facilities from scratch in line with what our guests need and what the nature needs. <…> This is a huge potential for visitors. Today’s tourists are different. Younger generations come for visual impressions. They want to see the unique nature and stay where one can explore it. This is one of the advantages of the Far East. <…> The project in Buryatia can be expanded and duplicated. <…> Today, we have signed agreements with Kamchatka and Yakutia on building new facilities. We are considering Sakhalin — Aleksandr Tertychnyy, General Director, Anterra.
I need 140 kilometres from Chita to my village. If there is no road, the project will gradually die out. It is interesting now, because it is new. But if there is no road, <…> this project will die, — Dashi Namdakov, Founder, Fund for the Promotion of Culture and Art named after Dashinima Namdakov. | <urn:uuid:1156b263-ae77-4d8c-9929-309a3ccfb822> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://roscongress.org/en/sessions/eef-2021-dalniy-vostok-territoriya-neveroyatnykh-puteshestviy-novye-vozmozhnosti-dlya-turistov-i-investorov/discussion/ | 2021-10-20T06:25:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.930577 | 389 | [

// WIDSIX WRITTEN WORD //
10 Words You’re Literally Using Wrong
Communication is an inescapable aspect of life. Whether via text, face-to-face, or a social media caption, words permeate our world. With a wide vocabulary of words to choose from, it is more common than not to see words used incorrectly. You may not know it, but you’re probably making simple (yet common) misuses of words. These 1o words are a great place to start updating in your vernacular. Bonus? You’ll sound smarter.
This word is used so commonly that it is no surprise the meaning has been misconstrued. It is written and spoken with the intention of expressing “bored” – however, the true definition is “indifferent”. To express what you’re really saying by “bored” use these as an alternative: disenchanted, blasé, or uninterested.
Most would use this word to denote a tragic incident of some sort, however, the true definition is a mockery or a parody. The understood and real definitions are so opposite, so try using these instead: tribulation, adversity, or catastrophe.
While popular belief would have you believe this word means the best or the only it actually refers to the last item in a list. When trying to express something that is the best use: foremost, premier, or optimum.
This word is so frequently used when talking about being in a store or going through a book that you may not believe it’s true meaning. Rather than meaning to “skim”, it actually is the opposite – it means to observe in depth. This one comes as shock to most, but what you’re really trying to say is: graze, glance or peek.
The name itself lends you to believe that it means “enormous” but you have been deceived. Conversely, the word means profoundly immoral or evil. When you are trying to describe something of great mass, use: mammoth, gigantic, or colossal.
Unlike enormity, this word actually tells you its meaning – to terrify. Eventually this word will probably be changed in the dictionary since no one uses it correctly, so when trying to describe something that makes you feel fantastic use: marvelous, stupendous, or spectacular.
This word gets used exactly as the word “severe”, but you would be severely mistaken. While severe refers to drastic or extreme, chronic is used to explain something that has been in place for a very long time, and likely won’t end. What you are trying to express can be said with: fierce, intense, or grueling.
Rather than simply to argue against, the word refute goes deeper. It is actually the process of proving something or someone of being false. When you’re looking for a word that means you’re verbally fighting with/against someone try: quarrel, contend or dispute.
This word cannot be accurately used unless it is paired with the idea of preparation. To anticipate means to look ahead and prepare so when referring to something that is a wishful guessing say: estimate, expect or forecast.
While this is a much more common error in the 20th century, the word does not, and has never been a figurative word. It is completely, and solely, defined by being “accurate”. Please do not be Robin Sherbatsky, instead be Ted Mosby. | <urn:uuid:f734aad6-96ce-41ac-ad25-d52517478279> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://widsix.com/written-word/10-words-youre-literally-using-wrong/ | 2021-10-20T06:29:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.941879 | 733 | [

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday filled with friends and family!
Back in late spring 2016 I wrote a post of my tentative race season 2017 schedule. However, this was all before my move to Raleigh. Everything on that list before was in Florida. Basically I’m starting from scratch but that is the beauty of planning all the racing fun.
This race season, I will be running at least 5 races. This list compiles all the races I am definitely going to run (signed up for; or about to sign up in the next or so month). This list in no particular order, by the way.
1. Walt Disney World Half Marathon in Orlando, FL. This race takes place in January 2017, and it is the 20th anniversary of this race. I will be dressing as Daisy Duck! My good friend, Jen will be joining me and dressing up as Donald Duck. I’m going to do a whole post on how we made our costumes (not done yet). The half marathon medals have already been released so I will show you here. Personally, I was hoping for Donald Duck to be a bit bigger but it is, what it is.
2. Gasparilla Half Marathon in Tampa, FL. This race is in February 2017. I get to run with Jen for this race as well! My fiancé and I are going to Tampa that weekend for a wedding, so I’m so happy I get to squeeze this race in there.
3. Rock’n’Roll Raleigh Half Marathon- This is in April 2017. I recently signed up for this one. They had a one day special for $50 to register. Usually the race is around $100 to sign up. Last year, I volunteered with my mom and sister for this race so I’m really excited to be running it this year!
4. Krispy Kreme Challenge 5 miles in Raleigh, NC- I’ll be doing this race with my sister in February 2017. This races runs all around NCState and it’s donut themed. We will run 2.5 miles, get to the Krispy Kreme store, then 2.5 miles back.
5. Tar Heel Ten Miler in Chapel Hill, NC- I’ve never been to Chapel Hill before and it would be a nice way to see the UNC campus. | <urn:uuid:f861b0c8-ce71-4d84-833a-95d2b0578b01> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://bravelittlerunner.wordpress.com/2016/12/27/top-5-tuesday-5-race-season-on-the-2017-schedule/ | 2021-10-21T18:05:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585439.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021164535-20211021194535-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.960117 | 492 | [

Is there any way to manually trigger Driving Mode in Windows Phone 8.1? Or does it work only when a Bluetooth device gets connected?
I am aware that I can have a Bluetooth device in any car, I'm just curious to know if it's absolutely necessary.

In 2015, the History Channel tried to build on the success of Curse of Oak Island by combining that show’s format with what it believed was a public clamor for pirates and Templars. Unfortunately, the resulting conspiracy theories led the UNESCO to condemn the production for its “media-led approach,” which the UN culture organization claimed jeopardized archaeological research in Madagascar, where the series filmed. It was the first History series condemned by the UN, prompting a disclaimer on episodes, which the network burned off two at a time on Saturdays with little promotion, bumping it from prime time to early evening for its final outings.
1. The Templar Connection
Scott Wolter tracks the Templars through Jerusalem, speculating on their heretical Christian views, while Barry Clifford explores an 18th century Madagascar shipwreck for alleged Templar treasure.
3. The Case of Captain Kidd
While Barry Clifford struggles to obtain permission to continue his explorations, Scott Wolter speculates on whether Capt. Kidd, the notorious pirate, was working with Freemasons to recover Templar treasure.
5. The Flaming Cross
Scott Wolter explores the former Portuguese colony of Goa for evidence of Templars, while Barry Clifford slowly determines that the Templars were not pirates but rather that the Portuguese were robbed by pirates.
2. The Great Adventure
Scott Wolter decamps to Portugal in search of remnants of the Templar organization, while Barry Clifford finds a spoon and a lump of lead while investigating what he identifies as the remains of pirate ships.
4. Forgotten Fortress
While nothing happens with Barry Clifford, Scott Wolter examines Dighton Rock for Portuguese markings and heads to Madagascar to look for a Portuguese fortress in the hope that the ruins will conceal Templar secrets.
6. Treasure Island
The whole team comes together to share their findings and do not recognize that all of their initial premises and assumptions turned out to be wrong. They then set up a second season that will never happen. | <urn:uuid:f8f235e3-aa1e-4a8a-bcde-8880e28e4a25> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.jasoncolavito.com/pirate-treasure-of-the-knights-templar.html | 2021-10-21T17:10:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585439.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021164535-20211021194535-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.937169 | 399 | [

Budget airline Ryanair on course to run flights to US for a tenner
Ryanair has moved a major step closer to its dream of offering transatlantic flights to the US from under £10.
The budget airline’s directors have approved plans to start a transatlantic airline as part of an ambitious growth strategy at Europe’s largest low-cost carrier over the next five years.
The airline has set out proposals for one-way tickets costing from under £10, although some fares would be much higher.
Breaking new ground: Ryanair's directors have approved plans to start a transatlantic airline offering flights from as little as £10
Ryanair says it is studying plans to fly between about a dozen European and US cities on a transatlantic service that could start ‘in four to five years’.
Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary has talked over many years about his dream of setting up a transatlantic airline offering cheap ‘ten buck’ transatlantic fares – with $10 currently equivalent to £6.75.
But the announcement that his board has now approved initial plans suggests the company is now more serious about going ahead with the ambitious strategy. O’Leary is particularly keen to win a slice of the lucrative long-haul transatlantic trade which is one of the most profitable routes in the world.
But it is dominated by long-established European and US airlines including British Airways, American Airlines and, on a smaller level, Virgin Atlantic, which is in partnership with America’s Delta.
Budget: Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary has talked over many years about his dream of setting up a transatlantic airline
Ryanair’s plan has echoes of 1970s cut-price pioneer Sir Freddie Laker whose cheap Skytrain flights to the USA transformed transatlantic travel for the masses, until it was effectively killed off by the established airlines, though it inspired Sir Richard Branson to launch Virgin Atlantic.
Ryanair said it would fulfil its long-expressed promise of offering some bargain-basement transatlantic fares at £10, but other one-way tickets would be priced from £99 or more.

T-shirts are a wardrobe staple for everybody, and that includes parents! Moms, especially those who are home with the kids all day every day, are even more grateful for comfy tees than you might be able to imagine. Here are five reasons moms are really, really glad that t-shirts exist.
With spit-up, spills, and just the general messiness kids bring to our lives, the washability of t-shirts makes them shine in any busy mother’s eyes. No matter what type of t-shirt, they are generally so quick and easy to wash, and don’t ever need special care or dry cleaning. So next time you’re home with the kids, throw one on and don’t worry about getting a little dirty.
From staying up all night with babies to running after toddlers to driving teenagers to sports practice, comfort is of utmost importance for any supermom. You need to wear things that are breathable and move with you, no matter the task. Tees are also perfect for layering underneath or on top of just about anything, so no matter the weather you’ll always feel good.
Not sure if you got the memo, but t-shirts are actually totally in style! There are so many different types and looks, tees are a timeless look that will never go out of fashion. So it doesn’t matter how many kids you have, rock that t-shirt Mama Bear.
With so much already on your plate like carting kids to school, planning meals for the whole family, and keeping everyone on track for bedtime, the last thing you want to have to worry about is what you’re going to wear. T-shirts take the guesswork out of dressing yourself each day. You can wear them to work, social events, as well as PTA meetings! And when you are finally settled at home for the night, they’re even comfy enough for around the house. Heck, you could even wear them to bed if you wanted to. Tees are your friend, I promise.
Having children and expanding your family was one of the best decisions you ever made, but it didn’t come without a cost. Not only do the everyday expenses associated with kids add up, but you also have to worry about saving up for college and such. Most parents find themselves cutting corners wherever possible, and spending less on themselves to make sure they have more for their kids. Luckily, there are tons of great t-shirts available at very mom-friendly prices! You don’t have to sacrifice looking good just to save money.
Becoming a mom is the greatest thing you ever did, and doesn’t mean losing your sense of style or comfort. And with t-shirts around, if you break the bank it certainly won’t be on clothing for yourself! Consider wearing a simple tee next time you’re out there being a mom and you won’t regret it. | <urn:uuid:75afcce1-5f00-4337-bba8-718661c774a7> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://anationofmoms.com/2021/04/t-shirt-style.html | 2021-10-23T05:29:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585561.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023033857-20211023063857-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.959963 | 620 | [

Wingecarribee Shire Council is calling on interested landholders to have their say on the NSW Government’s planned formation of Local Land Services, and attend the public consultation workshop on Tuesday 9 April at the Moss Vale Services Club.
The workshop, organised by the NSW Government Department of Primary Industries, is one of 21 interactive workshops being held across the state, and is the public’s chance to voice their views on the the formation of Local Land Services including proposed regional boundaries, governance structures, and services required.
The formation of Local Land Services will see the integration of agricultural industry advice, biosecurity and natural resource management functions, and bring together Livestock Health and Pest Authorities, Catchment Management Authorities, and Agriculture NSW advisory services. Local Land Services will be regionally-based, semi-autonomous statutory organisations governed by locally elected and skills-based Board members.
Wingecarribee Shire Council has heard some of the concerns being raised by the community, and formed a Local Stakeholder Group to better understand these issues and prepare a submission towards the NSW Government’s consultation process. This group brought together diverse views and opinions from local representatives of the Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment Management Authority, Landcare, NSW Farmers Association, Livestock Health and Pest Authority, Department of Primary Industries, Greening Australia and the Sydney Catchment Authority. Councillor Larry Whipper, Chair of the Local Stakeholder Group encouraged all local land holders to attend the workshop.
“Our group is concerned about a number of issues, most notably the proposed Local Land Services boundary recommendations,” Councillor Whipper said.
“We believe that our Shire contains many unique attributes, including our significant water catchment and agricultural areas, and we are wary of any change that may rob us of our identity, jeopardise existing local knowledge, networks and communication,” Councillor Whipper said.
“The last thing we want is for local services to be adversely impacted.”
The Moss Vale Local Land Services workshop will be hosted by Dr John Keniry AM, NSW Natural Resources Commissioner and facilitated by Mick Keogh, Executive Director of the Australian Farm Institute.
The workshop will be held at the Moss Vale Services Club, at the corner of Argyle and Yarrawa Streets, Moss Vale on Tuesday 9 April from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

You recall that Herodotus was the father of history. Well, Plutarch must be the father of biography. Like Herodotus, Thucydides and Polybius, he was Greek. But Plutarch lived much later, in the first and second century AD–three centuries after Hannibal and Scipio. So I don’t use Plutarch because I think he has any scoops over Polybius, or more accurate information. Why, then, do I use (and love) Plutarch?
Because he was the first to take an interest in character. That’s what he wanted to capture: the characters of the great Greeks and Romans. For that he used the big events and deeds in their lives and, just as much, the tiniest but telling details. Occasionally, he may have stretched the facts a bit, but, hey, let’s relax about that and just enjoy.
In that respect, of course, Plutarch does exactly what I aspire to do in my book. I too want to capture how characters respond to success and failure, ups and downs.
Plutarch’s main work was his Parallel Lives (which we usually read in the John Dryden translation), in which he paired one great Greek with one great Roman. Alexander the Great, for instance, is paired with Julius Caesar, and so on.
Hannibal was neither Greek nor Roman, so we don’t have a Life with his name as title. But Hannibal, who is my main character, features prominently in several of Plutarch’s Lives: Fabius (who also plays a big role in my book), Marcellus (a Roman consul killed by Hannibal), Cato the Elder, Flamininus (conqueror/liberator of the Greeks and the man who finally hounded Hannibal into suicide).
Plutarch’s life of Pyrrhus, which I’ve quoted from, is one of my favorites, by the way.
The tragedy is that many of his lives are lost. And the loss that hurts most is, of course, the Life of Scipio, my other main character. | <urn:uuid:8fbad908-885e-47fe-81d0-affff6e38d01> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://andreaskluth.org/2008/11/03/the-father-of-biography/ | 2021-10-26T01:59:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587794.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026011138-20211026041138-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.96383 | 453 | [

Title: Wolf from the Past
Series: Salvation Pack #4
Author: N. J. Walters
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Published: October 13, 2015
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
My Rating: 5 stars
Playing dead is easy. Living is hard.
Sylvie LaForge Dubois knew coming back from the dead wouldn’t be easy, but facing her brother and his friends is harder than she imagined. The way Gator Rollins watches her every move makes her decidedly uneasy and excited.
After surviving a forced mating to the abusive Andre Dubois, having a rugged, dangerous werewolf like Gator sniffing around her is scary and thrilling at the same time. She never imagined she’d want another man, but her bone-deep attraction to Gator is too strong to fight.
Gator never got a chance to tell Sylvie he loved her before she was mated with another and, well, died. Now that she’s back, there’s nothing he won’t do to protect her.
Once word gets out, Sylvie’s former pack will be coming for her. No one leaves the Louisiana pack, especially not a female werewolf. But Gator’s determined that this time he won’t let anyone or anything get between him and Sylvie, even if she can’t decide if his touch makes her want to jump his bones…or run for the hills.
Read on for my thoughts on Wolf from the Past. No true spoilers, promise.
Wolf from the Past is an intense, compelling and I would even say captivating story of the love between mates – even when they are denied each other by outside forces. Even when one has to “die” in order to escape the constant, unimaginable abuse, only to come alive once again when it’s safe to no longer be in hiding for her life.
Sylvie knew that returning to her brother’s new pack would not be easy. Especially since he had thought her dead. The only way she could survive the abuse of her forced mating was to find the way to die convincingly and to stay hidden until the danger had passed – her former mate’s death. She also knew that running here was bringing danger onto this pack. But she couldn’t live hidden any longer. She deserved the freedom of any member of the pack, she knew that she’d have to earn it as well.
Gator had loved Sylvie, his mate. And had seen her mated off to another. The abuse that she had gone through was obvious, even now long after she had hidden herself through her faked death. She may want him as her natural mate, but that didn’t stop her from still being afraid. Even though he could understand the lingering fear, Gator hoped that in time Sylvie would realize that he only wanted to protect her and care for her as his mate. He would fight for her, even fight her in order to gain the love of his life. Nothing would stop him this time. Nothing.
Even though Wolf from the Past is part of an ongoing series, Salvation Pack, you do not have to have read the previous stories to enjoy this one. Of course it helps, but you will get enough of the history within the story to fill in the spots that are important for this story. It will, however, probably tempt you to go back and read the series from the start.
Sylvie is truly a wounded soul. Proud, strong and wounded. She will need Gator’s patience, affection, and presence in her life in order to heal once again. Gator isn’t known for his patience. But he will do what he feels necessary to protect Sylvie. She is his mate and nothing will keep him from her ever again.
I enjoyed this story very much. The main characters were intense, believable and drew me into their situation easily. The secondary characters always make a huge difference for me in an ongoing story and I found everyone in Wolf from the Past to strengthen the story along the way. At times it is not an easy story to read because of the abuse. Yet, it is an empowering story that even in the paranormal world, we do what we must to survive and go on to live a better life. If you enjoy shifters, if you love a solid story with action, romance and an engaging couple then you would enjoy Wolf from the Past.
*I received an e-ARC of Wolf from the Past from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*

Lowell, Blake & Associates is an independent registered investment advisory firm based in Boston.
When Jim and Susan Lowell founded LBA in 1974, they had a pretty radical idea. They sought to create a firm that put client interests first. Really first. They rejected Wall Street research, proprietary investment products, hidden fees, and other conflicts of interest prevalent at the time and still problematic today. They intentionally broke the mold of traditional investment firms that relied on exclusivity, fine print and commission-based service models.
We have grown as a firm over the years, but still hold to our founding principles – independence, transparency, fairness and obsessive commitment to client interests. LBA is employee-owned, conducts its own unbiased investment research and strives to build lasting, rewarding relationships with clients.
We are fortunate to have a team of professionals with distinct talents and diverse interests, but among the characteristics we share is a real love for the work we do. Our team is thankful for the opportunity to help clients build a holistic and meaningful understanding of their financial lives. | <urn:uuid:70770538-5673-49cd-b867-6a9485a2844a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.lowell-blake.com/about/about-lba/ | 2021-10-27T12:09:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588153.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027115745-20211027145745-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.957924 | 211 | [

“WE EXIST / THE FUTURE IS FLUID,” declared a billboard installed on Detroit’s east side in Spring 2020. In the bold design, styled to look like a neon sign at night, the words curled around the prominent central focus: the word “WE,” huge and proud in pink.
Designed by Bakpak Durden, the billboard was both a work of art and a promotion for a project that the artist co-curated: a citywide exhibition of five billboard artworks by queer and gender-nonconforming artists. (An accompanying gallery show would have included work by five more artists, but was canceled due to COVID19.) The centrality of the first person plural in We Exist points to something fundamental about Durden, a self-taught artist who identifies as transgender: their painstaking image-making is but one part of a broader effort to raise up the queer community they are a part of.

It takes the village to raise a child, as the proverb goes, but what about a work of art?
Western art history hands us two over-convenient grab bags: one is crammed full of solitary geniuses, laboring alone in their studios, while the other contains a jumble of movements and manifestos clotted by collectivist élan. Generally lost in the shuffle are the simple but profound processes of interpersonal give and take that inform individual artists’ development, as well as the acts of productive exchange that can propel them, via conduits of communication and collaboration, from one mode of making to another.
This conception of the art world as a sprawling site of generative transfer is a helpful lens through which to look at the lively, multiform art of Lester Johnson, a master craftsman and inveterate community member. Over six decades, Johnson has created a capacious body of work in a dazzling diversity of forms, and he has done so in large part by embracing opportunities to step outside himself, to expand his expressive capabilities through germinal creative collisions.
In June 2019, Essay’d co-facilitated Art Writing for Artists with interdisciplinary writer Rachel Harkai. The highly collaborative workshop, which helped visual and performing artists develop new language to think about and describe their practice, took place over three weekends at the Room Project, and was funded by the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation

You could be forgiven for mistaking Patrick Hill for a minimalist. After all, a cursory glance at his sculptures will tell you that he is a native speaker of that iconically laconic language. Geometric forms in clean configurations? Check. An aesthetic of carefully considered refusal and reduction? Certainly. An exquisite sensitivity to space, balance, and the materiality of matter? That’s him, all right.
But in its reductive simplicity, minimalism ultimately leads to a conceptual dead-end. “What you see is what you see” only gets you so far in a time when art aspires to boundlessness. Taking cues from feminist artists, Hill circumvents this impasse by using minimal forms to go deep inside, to explore the body and aspects of subjective experience like identity, sexuality, frailty, and failure. (In his words: “It’s Richard Serra, only less ‘dude’.”) He finds source material not just in material itself, but in his personal experience and the wider worlds of fashion, pop culture, art history, and Eastern aesthetics and spirituality—a sprawling mixture that accretes, in his hands, into fragile monuments to interiority and human imperfection.

In his 2017 bestseller Fantasyland, Kurt Andersen makes the convincing case that an essential aspect of the American character is a brazen disregard for the line between reality and fantasy. This is a congenital condition, he argues, that dates back to the nation’s founding.
Andersen’s thesis provides a useful lens through which to view the work of Bailey Scieszka, a multimedia artist and writer with a voracious appetite for history, on one hand, and popular fantasies like conspiracy theory, live action role playing, and end times prophecy, on the other. But for Scieszka, it is not just our eager and longstanding embrace of the irrational that makes Americans Americans; it is also the will to violence that is so dangerously entangled with our mania for make-believe.
Scieszka’s work has a great deal to do with violence. It’s “the only way to tell a true story,” according to her unbridled alter-ego Old Put—a murderous, shapeshifting, basket-weaving demon clown and pro wrestler who is the star of her elaborately-conceived plays, performances, and videos, and who features prominently in her prodigious drawings. Indeed, Scieszka’s astonishing output to date can be understood as an extravagant explosion of American violence, fantasy, and myth—a deranged, bedazzled, go-for-broke freak show that is informed by history, interpolated by trash and post-internet pop culture, and framed by anxiety about the horrors of contemporary life. Her work is a funhouse mirror reflection of the world today, hilarious at one turn and terrifying the next.
In April 2018, Essay’d hosted Dushko Petrovich (Assistant Professor of New Arts Journalism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and co-founder of Paper Monument) for a one-of-a-kind art publishing workshop funded by the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation. Dushko arrived with a well-deserved reputation for a very fun, positive, and down-to-earth approach to publishing, and over three weekends at Allied Media Projects participants worked to create a mockup of their own publications.
It’s true that you can read all 100+ installments of Essay’d online, but sometimes there’s no alternative to just sitting down with a book. That’s why we partnered with Wayne State University Press to bundle essays 61-90 into a beautifully designed and illustrated volume. And you certainly can’t beat the price – $25 for a whole year’s worth of essays and 240+ illustrations.

It makes sense that Nicola Kuperus was onstage at the Detroit Institute of Arts recently, running her big yellow vacuum up and down a strip of beige carpet. And that a few minutes later, her face obscured by a long, black wig, she started to play the vacuum, using an effects pedal to modulate and amplify its heavy roar. And that a few minutes after that, she pulled out a tall, pink vase and began to fill it, maniacally, with fake plants, while on a screen above her, anotherKuperus appeared, dressed up and gesticulating like a cross between a magician, Laurie Anderson, and some faceless horror movie creep, and that that Kuperus had the same vase, which she began to slap with her white-gloved hand, asking it, over and over again, “Ya like that?”

What is an artist’s practice but a universe unto itself? A total environment, with the artist at the center, in which a vast but finite set of ingredients—think experiences, materials, impulses, and predilections—cohere, by means both mysterious and prosaic, into related forms that evolve over time. It’s an apt metaphor for the work of Gary Eleinko, a lifelong Detroiter who came of age as a painter during the bricolage days of the Cass Corridor movement (where any cast off thing could become art) and who remarks with frank wonder that, “Everything in the world is made up of 98 natural elements. There’s nothing else. 98 ingredients make up everything we know.”

Art, ever sociable, is always in conversation with something else. One of artist Maya Stovall’s primary interlocutors is the City—that ever-shifting concatenation of street, sidewalk, and neighborhood; of people, power, and capital. (This conversation started early; Stovall recalls riding her bike to the Detroit Institute of Arts as a child and developing an “obsession” with the street life she encountered along the way.) For the last four years, she has pursued a related obsession, enacting and documenting an ongoing series of sidewalk performances and ethnographic interviews made near the liquor stores that dot her eastside neighborhood, McDougall-Hunt. Stovall, who trained in classical ballet, holds a Master’s degree in Economics and a PhD in Performance Studies and Cultural Anthropology. She approaches the sprawling yet tightly focused Liquor Store Theatre project as a means to ask what she calls “monumental questions” about human existence via “close, rigorous, devoted, durational looking.”

Between 2013 and 2014, the four high rise towers that were the last remnants of Detroit’s Brewster-Douglass housing projects, the country’s first federally-funded public housing for African-Americans, were demolished. While the towers had been officially cleared of residents in 2008, they were, in fact, still home to a handful of people up to the time of their demolition, as Oren Goldenberg’s 2012 cinéma vérité short Brewster Douglass, You’re My Brother reveals. The video opens with a two-minute montage depicting the derelict complex from a series of neighboring perspectives—evoking its omnipresence, both physical and psychic, in the Detroit landscape—set to the sound of a gospel crooner’s insistent refrain that, “Time don’t wait for no one.” Then the focus shifts to Darlene, a long-term resident who says, as she reflects candidly on her hard life, that she survives by scrapping, and that she hasn’t seen her large family in years. At the end of the video, with the towers’ demolition imminent, Darlene is seen leaving, her empty hands in her pockets. She’s crossing the I-375 overpass, going—where? She doesn’t say. Does she know?

The art of weaving has long inspired metaphors for nothing less than the nature of human existence — from the mythic Fates, literally weaving each individual’s destiny, to Ishmael’s musing in Moby Dick that the “mingled, mingling threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a storm for every calm.” The age-old link between weaving and living is of paramount significance to Levon Kafafian, a young artist and teacher for whom this ancient way of making is at the center of a vital, unfolding, multimodal practice — a practice that seeks to connect people more deeply to the natural world, one another, and their own lived experience.Continue reading →
Intended to promote and support critical writing about art in the wider Detroit community, the two-part workshop — which focused on Subjective Cosmology, MOCAD’s exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Sanford Biggers — introduced participants to Essay’d’s processes and best practices before turning to a group discussion and short writing exercise about the exhibition, the themes behind it, and the multitude of ideas and impressions it raised.

With their luscious surfaces, painstakingly lifelike textures, and subtly surreal depictions of almost-possible places, the oil paintings of Mel Rosas invite and reward both close attention and long-view contemplation. Rosas, an influential professor of painting at Wayne State University, is one of those painters who draws knowingly from the deep well of art history (Vermeer, Hopper, and Magritte are three signal antecedents), as well as an idiosyncratic assortment of wider cultural influences. The expansive body of work that has obsessed him for more than 30 years is also an object lesson in the use of art as a tool to explore, expand, and communicate the self. Rosas’s paintings are portals that offer the artist passage into his Latin American ancestry, and the viewer into a lush and evocative dream world.

On a sunny Sunday afternoon last July, several hundred people crowded the Dequindre Cut, a popular recreation path in Detroit, to watch a dance. The performance, one of three public dance labs programmed to accompany “Here Hear,” the Cranbrook Art Museum’s celebrated exhibition of Nick Cave soundsuits, included music by Frank Pahl and choreography by Biba Bell. There is no telling what, exactly, the audience expected. What they witnessed was a distributed dance, a de-centered performance event, in which any vantage point along the Cut’s long, linear footprint offered a different view of different groups of dancers, some of whom slinked by in sinuous silence, while others posed, elegant and remote, above the crowd. Others danced a mannered duet involving the ritualistic exchange of their black or white soundsuit costumes, and the rest, by the end, were dancing in furious, ecstatic unison. When all was said and done, no one present had seen a complete dance, or the same dance. Everyone, however, had seen a dance by Biba Bell, an artist who specializes in the unexpected.
David Philpot is an antenna, finely tuned to subtle frequencies. He listens carefully, receiving transmissions from as far away as West Africa, and from as nearby as God or the wood in his hands. His primary medium, fittingly, is the staff, an energizing rod that joins the earth to the sky via the human being who wields it.
Long before he ever considered himself an artist, the 30-year-old Philpot heard a voice call his name, leading him, amazed, to an oasis: a grove of trees in a Chicago housing project. A week later, Philpot, who had never abandoned his childhood habit of gathering and carrying sticks, and who had recently admired Charlton Heston’s staff in The Ten Commandments, woke in the night with a mission: to chop down one of those trees, and make from it a staff of his own. When it was done, he called it Genesis (1971), an apt title for the first of more than 350 staffs he has made in the 45 years since.

Scott Northrup’s recent temporary installation Hämeenkyrö, Mon Amour (2015) was comprised of text projected onto the landscape near the town of Hämeenkyrö, Finland, at sundown. For about thirty minutes, excerpts of scripted dialogue from Alain Resnais’s Hiroshima, Mon Amour and several movies by Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismaki, as well as Northrup’s own writing, crawled across the vast, darkening plain in what the artist refers to as a “love letter” to the beautiful, welcoming place he’d come to know after a month-long residency there.

I suspect there is an irreconcilable underlying motivation here in how
we're looking at it, in terms of who is the intended target of this
signaling. I feel like you're looking at getting a signal through NFC for a
downstream project looking at finding issues during their integration,
while I'm not using NFC for this purpose. Instead I'm using NFC as a
signaling tool internal to the project development itself.
it is a signal for reviewers of my revision (no test change here, and also
"Please reviewer: validate my intent here, am I really not changing the
behavior of the compiler?") and vice-versa when I am the reviewer. It is
also a potential signal for narrowing down a blamelist sent by broken bot
post-commit (I've also used it to pre-filter a list of commits when
tracking performance regressions in the past). It isn't bulletproof: a `git
bisect` can lead to a NFC commit, but that's because we're human and we

There are two things here, "should we change what we do to be more strict",
on which I don't see a consensus here, and "should we document better how
this tag has been widely used till now", which is a different thing :)

It is rare to have a conversation about investment real estate without the term “cap rate” being mentioned. Cap rate is short for capitalization rate and represents the relationship between a property’s value and its income. It is a snapshot of the property’s performance in the year of the purchase, however, it may not be representative of the property’s future performance. Looking at a cap rate in the initial year of the purchase is similar to looking at the yield on a treasury bond. Simply put, a cap rate is the percentage return an investor would get on their money if they bought real estate and paid cash for it. It is an easy way to compare one property’s return to another property’s, even if the price, location, and type of properties being compared vary greatly. To determine a cap rate, one takes the net operating income (NOI) and divides it by the purchase price. If you have a property that nets $75,000 per year in income and the purchase price is $1,000,000, the cap rate would be 7.5% ($75,000/$1,000,000=.075).
There are many different ways of evaluating properties. Some can be very time-consuming such as developing a 10-year projected cash flow with varying expenses and income based on things like improvements made to the building and projected market shifts. Cap rates are relatively simple and can be useful when evaluating multiple properties without needing to do an in-depth analysis for each property. However, NOI needs to be vetted to make sure the data being used is accurate and representative of future potential income. The stabilized income for a property may be very different than the income reported on tax returns. For example, if we look at 2020 income on a property there is a good chance that rents were not paid in full because of the pandemic and income may have been lower than future years will be. Conversely, the owner may have received grants or incentives that were offered during the pandemic and had lower expenses than usual due to decreased occupancy. This would increase the NOI and be an anomaly that is not representative of future income. To evaluate cap rates successfully, one must use stabilized income and expenses. One would also make adjustments to add back depreciation expenses and interest expenses and make sure there was a management expense commensurate with the amount of time it takes to manage the property.
Investors often ask “what should the cap rate be?” This changes over time and depends on alternative investments. With 10-year Treasury bonds yielding just over 1%, investors may be happy with a 4-5% return on their real estate. The biggest factor in the decision of an acceptable cap rate is going to be the amount of risk. With a long-term lease on a credit-rated tenant, 4-5% may be an acceptable level of risk. If there are multiple tenants and short-term leases, the risk of vacancy is higher and the investor may demand a higher return on their money, thus desiring an 8-10% cap rate. Cap rate compression means cap rates are decreasing and prices are increasing. This is what we have seen due to decreasing rates of return on alternative investments in recent years. Capitalization rates are also influenced by many other factors such as supply and demand for space. Demand for investment real estate has been extremely high lately. When demand outstrips the supply of available spaces, prices increase and cap rates are pushed lower. The risk of inflation puts downward pressure on cap rates since investors view real estate as a hedge against inflation (rents will rise increasing NOI if there is inflation). Another important factor is the availability of money to borrow to buy a property. If it is easily available, such as the current situation, it contributes to cap rate compression. We also see different cap rates in different classes of assets. Current trends show the need for warehouse space increasing and office space decreasing. In this situation, we would expect to see lower cap rates for warehouse space than office space. The belief is that warehousing may command higher rents in the future and office rent may decrease or increase more slowly than warehouse space.
Cap rates can be a useful tool in evaluating a property as long as the data used is accurate. Determining a stabilized income using projected income and expenses may be more beneficial, although that also introduces subjectivity to what is normally a straightforward process of defining value. Investors must determine if the income stated includes all of the expenses and an accurate vacancy rate. If a building has deferred maintenance and will need capital improvements, these costs should be factored in as well. There may be a lease that is higher than the market rate or is expiring soon and a new tenant will need to be obtained. There may be excess land that increases the value but does not factor into the cap rate analysis. It is important to understand all of the factors before deciding if a building is a good value based on the cap rate. However, with a good advisor and accurate financial projections, cap rates are a good investment analysis tool and helpful when deciding where to invest. | <urn:uuid:46efc019-6a2e-456f-ac13-98d9b23ea4fa> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.aspirenorthrealtors.com/our-blog/cap-rates | 2021-10-17T12:02:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585177.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017113503-20211017143503-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961678 | 1,041 | [

As a reminder, Connecticut Public Act No. 18-8 titled “An Act Concerning Pay Equity” became effective January 1, 2019. Under this law, all employers are prohibited from asking or directing a third party to ask about a job applicant’s wage and salary, unless the job applicant has voluntarily disclosed this information.
There are two exceptions to the new law. It does not apply to employers or third parties who are required to ask about wage or salary history by federal or state law. The law does not prohibit employers from asking about other elements of an applicant’s compensation structure (e.g., whether the applicant received stock options.) However, an employer may not ask about the value of the other elements of the applicant’s compensation structure (e.g., the value of the stock options.)
Employers should immediately:
- advise their Human Resources Department and other employers with interview responsibilities not to ask applicants about their wage and salary history, and
- review their employment application(s) and remove any questions about past wages or salary. | <urn:uuid:6c812c94-3a96-4c4a-8cd4-a3d025babe1f> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.carmodyatwork.com/2019/01/reminder-connecticuts-new-pay-equity-law-effective-january-1-2019/ | 2021-10-17T11:50:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585177.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017113503-20211017143503-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.943849 | 218 | [

The most used apps on my phone!
I have lots of applications on my phone but these 5 are the most used (abused? Lol!) ones. I have tried downloading tons of applications of different kinds from SNS to photo editors and even different games but I can actually just live with these 5 in my phone (except for the messaging apps).
I loved Instagram ever since its early days and I take my Instagram game strongly. If you’re following me, you would know that I’ve been changing my feed styles but I’m pretty happy with it now but maybe I’ll change it again in the future depending on my mood and sometimes, the trend. Sadly, Instagram has been filled with bots recently, the main reason why I have lied low on posting. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back on my feed game soon. Please do follow me too!
I love Pinterest so much! It’s practically my source of inspiration! You’ll know it when you have it!
I have 2 top tools for photo editing and number one is Snapseed. This isn’t a secret for bloggers and even photographers when opting to use their phones in taking photos. I just love how this app changes the brightness and contrasts in one picture, tell you, it makes a lot of difference but not to the point of looking fake. It gives off a natural vibe on your photos as well.
I’m most active on Twitter than any other SNS apps. It’s my source of daily news and I interact with people here as well. Let’s be friends too!
My favorite app for photo editing and the 2nd tool I use for photo editing would definitely be VSCO. I love everything about this app especially the filters. I really like the variety of filters in VSCO, most especially the natural looking ones, it wouldn’t look like you edited your photos.
These apps aren’t new but these are definitely the most useful to me. What are you fave phone apps? Are there any apps you would want to recommend? Hit them in the comments and I’ll try them out!
Be pretty, be happy, be you!

This document presents a set of best practices and solutions for securing data in your mobile apps built with OutSystems.
Avoid storing sensitive data on the device
We take our devices everywhere and install all kinds of apps. Their security can be easily compromised by theft or some malicious app we inadvertently install. Keeping sensitive data only on the server and requesting it to the device only when needed prevents third parties from accessing it by compromising your device storage. All connections from the device to the server are authenticated and run over HTTPS, so your sensitive data will be safe.
If you need your application to work offline, make an informed decision on what data to store locally on the device. Keep sensitive entities or attributes on the server database, and keep in Local Storage only the data that is non-sensitive and necessary for offline use of your application.
A good approach is to find the minimum subset of data your users will need to accomplish their tasks while in offline. This will help you trim down the data and remove all sensitive data.
Store small snippets of sensitive information
In scenarios where you need to store small amounts of information, like a password or your user’s social security number, you can use the keystore of the device ("keychain" on iOS).
The keystore is an app provided by the device that stores small bits of sensitive information. The keystore secures data by encrypting the data before storing it, and the platform itself carefully controls access to stored items.
To safely store information in the keystore, you can use the KeyStore Plugin available in the Forge.
Store sensitive attributes in Local Storage Entities
If the offline operation of your application needs to hold sensitive information in a few entity attributes, you can create logic in your application to encrypt and decrypt those values as needed.
Store large amounts of sensitive information in Local Storage
If you have a lot of information on your Local Storage that is considered sensitive you can encrypt the whole Local Storage.
To cipher the Local Storage database, you can use the Ciphered Local Storage Plugin available in the Forge, and this will ensure secure 256-bit AES encryption of your data on the device.
Note that this extra security level may introduce a few performance overheads when reading and writing data to the Local Storage, so be sure to take this in consideration when using this approach.
Re-validate data in the Server
All data sent from the app to the server should be re-validated in the server. This helps in keeping your server-side logic working over sound data and executing operations as expected. If a hacker is able to forge a request from your app to the server, it will bypass the app validations and can send incorrect requests. Not performing the required validations server-side may lead to data corruption (by replacing real data in the server with bogus data) or data leakage (by accessing data not intended for a specific user). | <urn:uuid:716f727f-7bab-407b-bfe6-0d7474d5e914> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://success.outsystems.com/Documentation/10/Developing_an_Application/Secure_the_Application/Secure_the_Data_of_your_Mobile_Apps | 2021-10-18T23:43:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585215.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018221501-20211019011501-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.901679 | 593 | [

Here’s a great example of why space-exploration is a multifarious industry where it takes excellence on multiple fronts at the same time to make each mission a success, even on seemingly unrelated fronts. The example also shows the pride of financial frugality can last only for so long.
Answering a specific question after the launch of Astrosat, India’s first astronomy satellite, on September 28, Isro chairman AS Kiran Kumar told TOI: “I cannot get into the specifics. I can, however, say there are several firsts that MOM has found. But it is only fair that the principal investigators (scientists who made the payloads) claim it first in scientific journals.”
Isro was to make this data public on September 24, MOM’s first anniversary in the Martian orbit. The agency, however, had a low-key event on the day and did not reveal anything.
Equipping instruments to be able to capture and relay 1 TB of data a year is only half the job done, the other being to be able to process and publicise it. And without the need to innovate rapidly nor clamour for public support, I don’t think ISRO will ever reform this slow-moving attitude. This is NASA really cashing in – there’s no reason ISRO should be able to, too. Later in the same piece,
So between September 24, 2014 and September 24, 2015, when MOM completed one year in the Martian orbit, it could have taken 456 pictures, of which Isro has made public 13 pictures, with some repetitions of the same spot on Mars. | <urn:uuid:0a1af4b5-d27f-4138-abff-d3ba5f03318a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://rootprivileges.net/2015/10/04/space-is-necessarily-multifarious-isro/ | 2021-10-20T09:12:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585305.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020090145-20211020120145-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.961649 | 345 | [

If you’re trying to raise your employees’ level of engagement, you’re not alone — especially now that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced so many to work remotely. As of June 2020, only 31% of employees consider themselves engaged in their job, according to a Gallup survey.
Poor engagement scores are nothing new. For more than three decades, scholars and business experts have been researching the conditions associated with workplace engagement. Many of their studies have incorporated surveys where employees respond to statements such as “I know what is expected of me at work” and “My supervisor encourages my development” on a five-point scale from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.”
But, how much do we know about what employees think about engagement? And what makes a supervisor view his or her direct report as engaged or disengaged? A better understanding of both perspectives could pave the way for strategies that can improve engagement, especially given Gallup research indicating that managers account for as much as 70% of the variance in their direct reports’ engagement.
Below are the six engagement-related themes that employees and supervisors brought up most frequently in interviews I conducted as part of my doctoral research for the State University of New York at Albany:
Employees, What Makes You Feel Engaged?
1. I Know My Role
Nine of 10 employees interviewed discussed the importance of understanding their role in the organization, including knowing how what they do affects co-workers, understanding how the organization operates and being aligned with the values promoted by top leaders. One employee who understood her role complimented her supervisor for clarifying “how what we do affects the larger picture.”
2. My Opinions Count
Seven of 10 employees brought up the importance of expressing opinions that supervisors value and, in some cases, act upon. One recalled that “it was heartwarming” when the manager incorporated her feedback into his behavior.
3. My Supervisor Cares About Me
Many employees addressed caring from a personal and professional standpoint. One lauded his manager for “pushing me out of my comfort zone,” while one complained that his supervisor never discussed his career goals. Another employee who was disappointed with his manager’s lack of caring said that “it’s not through him that I’m growing.”
Supervisors, What Are the Characteristics of an Engaged Direct Report?
4. Is Proactive
Thirteen of 15 supervisors cited proactivity, including one who appreciated that his employee “put forth ideas that might not be popular and was willing to defend them without being obnoxious about it.” Another manager recalled that his non-proactive direct report didn’t take notes or ask follow-up questions after receiving an assignment. A few supervisors also pointed out that less-proactive employees were only passionate about work they enjoyed, such as launching a new initiative, while more proactive employees always demonstrated enthusiasm, regardless of the task.
5. Effectively Communicates
Several supervisors complimented their direct reports for taking initiative by, for example, arranging meetings and sending frequent update emails. One manager described a direct report who always “kept me in the loop if something’s happening that they feel needs my attention.” Another said that they felt more engaged thanks to their direct report’s frequent updates, which helped create a “two-way partnership — and that tells me that there’s engagement.”
On the other hand, one supervisor labeled his direct report’s emails as “cynical” and said they demonstrated the employee’s unhappiness with a task and that they were “just doing it because I asked them to.”
6. Collaborates With Others
The supervisors who brought up collaboration underscored the importance of employees who looked outside themselves in contributing to the organization. According to one manager, an employee who is “willing to celebrate the success of others” is engaged. Another said that “highly engaged employees are very motivated by being able to help others and make an impact on the world.”
What Are the Implications of These Findings?
Does your organization need all these conditions to exist for workers to be engaged? In other words, do employees need to understand their role, be proactive, and effectively communicate and collaborate with others, while reporting to supervisors who value opinions and show they care?
It sounds like too much to ask for. Yet, by determining which of these conditions (and maybe others) are most likely to affect engagement, organizations may be able to develop appropriate training, coaching and other performance improvement programs for employees and managers at all levels. Still, much more research is needed on this critical issue. | <urn:uuid:7fee9626-7efd-4434-9ba7-05319e356278> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://trainingindustry.com/blog/performance-management/6-signs-of-an-engaged-workforce-according-to-employees-and-supervisors/ | 2021-10-20T11:05:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585305.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020090145-20211020120145-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.973019 | 986 | [

Helping You Get the Most From Your Hunting Dogs
Training with Pop Boxes by Steve Borecky
Learning to correctly plant birds is a crucial skill for the trainer.
Incorrect bird planting can be both very frustrating and costly.
Watching a bird that has been improperly planted in your training area either fly away or be swooped up by a hungry red-tailed hawk can put a damper on anyone’s training session.
With the number of birds you will need to correctly train a well-mannered hunting dog, you can ill afford to loose any while training.
I personally use about 200 to 300 planted birds in a controlled field situation over my young dogs, before I ever shoot a wild bird. I want all of these birds to be exactly where I place them during my training sessions.
If you use only common pigeons in your training at a cost of $1.50 to $2.00 each, losing birds can be expensive. Game birds will double or triple that cost to develop your charger.
There are several methods that can be used while placing your birds in the field for training that will assure you they will stay put. The least expensive is to make yourself a small wire cage that a bird can be placed in. Chicken wire works, but a box made from 1 screening works best. A door on top of the box makes for easy access allowing you to release the bird manually. If the dog fails to point after scenting the bird and goes in on it at least he will not be able to mouth it. (This type of bird holder will not work with flushing dogs.)
Another option is a commercially made bird launcher. I favor the Innotek launchers. They manufacture four models. Manual model ML-10 is for use with small birds and manual model ML-14 is for use with larger ones. After placing the bird in the launcher, the trainer releases it by simply pulling a cord, allowing him to control the situation.
In my training I use Innotek’s remote launchers. Model RL-10 allows me to use pigeons, quail and chukers. For larger birds like pheasants and ducks I use their Model RL-14. These launchers are triggered by an Innotek Command Series transmitter (which can also operate training collars) or a dedicated four-button transmitter. The speed with which these boxes open at the push of a button allows the trainer to be in complete control at all times.
Pop boxes are versatile in creating hunting situations. I use mine to teach my German shorthaired pointers to stop to flush. After setting a box in the field, I simply release the dog downwind of the bird. When he is about 20 to 30 yards from the box and in eyesight, I automatically flush the bird and tell the dog to whoa. Within a couple of sessions, the dog will stop to flush upon seeing the bird in flight on his own.
To keep the dog from trailing man scent to where you place your pop boxes, I always set them in the field with the bird in place, sometimes 45 minutes prior to use. This gives the wind a chance to wash the man scent away from the boxes.
Tips for training with pop boxes or wire cages:
Always place your launchers in cover sufficiently high so the dog can’t see it. If necessary, mark the spot with a tall, thin flag.
Always place your birds upwind of the of the direction your dog will come from.
When using more than one training box, they should be placed far enough apart so the dog has room to hunt and quarter before encountering the next bird.
Never let your dog watch as you put your birds down. Make him use that nose that mother nature gave him to hunt with.
Always remember that nothing takes the place of obedience training with a dog. Before you start your bird work make sure your dog will obey your commands in the field, at home or in your backyard.

Print Tips: Getting An Image Ready for Large Format Printing
If you’ve ever tried to take an image and print it in a large format, you probably know that it can get complicated. Not only will you need the services of a photo printing center (as large, expensive equipment is necessary) but you’ll also need to do some prep work to make sure your photo stands the best chance for being all it can be.
The first thing you’ll want to do: make sure your camera’s settings are adjusted for the highest resolution possible (usually, this means choosing the RAW format.)Then get ready to do some work on a photo editing software (like Photoshop.) Adjust the dpi (digital pixels per inch) to 300. According to one source, “print shops generally recommend between 240 and 360, but 300 will ensure that you have the clearest image, free of both blur and grain.”
Save your files as a TIFF (.tif) file or Photoshop (.psd) file. These formats work much better than JPEG for large printing. (Note: the TIFF format is also called RAW on many digital camera models.)
Finally, you’ll want to send the image file to a professional print shop. If you plan on doing a lot of large format printing, then you’ll need to invest in a large format printer! | <urn:uuid:07ddd672-bc57-43cc-ae3e-d380a3b21b6d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://nationaldirectrepro.com/2013/07/print-tips-getting-an-image-ready-for-large-format-printing/ | 2021-10-21T21:49:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585441.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021195527-20211021225527-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.93921 | 285 | [

5 Things I Learned From Meditating 30 Days In A Row, And 4 Meditation Apps You Should Try
A conversation between me and Italian.
Me: I have meditated for 30 days in a row! Italian: That’s great! Me: Do I seem more enlightened? Italian: No. Me: No? (in disappointed tone) Italian: No. But when you fall asleep, you start to levitate.
I have been running away from meditation for a very long time. It was woo-woo, and touchy feely, and no way I was going to sit in one place and do nothing. I needed to produce and create, and be productive. Preferably, twenty four hours a day. Now, if I could only hack sleep!
When I was a teenager, I remember reading a sci-fi short story, where a man invents a pill that allows him not to sleep. In the story, he eventually gets bored and lonely being up at all hours of the night, so he stops taking the pill. What a fool, I thought to myself. If only I could get my hands on that pill. [Yes, yes, I know there ARE pills like that now. Sort of. No, thanks.]
It is now years later, and I feel like I have been running after meditation for a while. It just wouldn’t stick. I felt like I was trying to quit smoking – one failed attempt after another, after another. I’d do it for a day, and quit. Feel bad about myself for a while. Try again – last two days. Then a week. Then nothing for a month. Again and again.
Finally, I decided the unthinkable. I was not going to commit to anything – I was just going to do five minutes whenever I felt like it.
So I did five minutes, and then did not meditate for a week. But in a week, I did it again. Then nothing for week and a half. Then another five minute session. Then I meditated two days in a row, and another long break. Then I meditated twice in one week. Three days in a row. Then nothing.
It has now been 30 days in a row. I do not plan to stop any time soon, but if I will, I’ll just do what I have done. Do it again whenever I feel like it.
So far I’ve felt like it almost every day. And the days when I have not felt like it, I shrugged and did it anyway. It was only five minutes.
Slowly, slowly, I am aiming to just stop running, and let meditation come to me. And it has been doing just that. When I have a panic attack on a plane, when I am lost in the middle of a busy city square.
Life often gets in the way of whatever new behavior we are seeking to incorporate. Yet… if you make it small enough, life will not pull you away.
With just five minutes of meditation, it does not matter if I am travelling or not, sleeping in my house or not, going to bed late or not, have my app handy or not. I can do it anyway, do it later in the day, do it without my phone, do it.
The same applies to physical movement – establishing a habit of exercise is something that many people struggle with. Yet there is an assumption that your workout has to follow a structured program and last at least an hour. It may indeed look that way some day. But, chances are, that day is not here yet. And today, you can just go for a walk, just do ten squats, or five push-ups.
It doesn’t feel like much. Just like a five minute meditation. And that’s ok. It’s not supposed to. The goal is not to break personal records or achieve enlightenment. The goal is to establish a habit, a practice. If all goes well, you and I will be here for a while. Why hurry?
I am plugging along with my five minutes for now. Some days, it’s ten minutes, or even twelve. I am not committing to anything though. I know better than to scare myself like that. ????
Here are few things I learned (and things that I seem to keep learning, and keep needing to re-learn):
Progress is slow.
Progress is hard to define.
Little things matter.
You need to make it easy for yourself – whatever that means for you.
The above five things apply to ANY habit you are trying to form, of course. Try them with anything from eating healthier to moving more. Yep, they work.
If meditation is your thing, chances you already have a tool (or no tool) that you prefer. If you are just starting to dabble, and want to learn/try more, here are few app recommendations.
4 Meditation Apps To Try
This is probably the most well known app out there. The session time is set at ten minutes. The meditation is guided. I tried it a couple of times, and could not stand the male voice in the sessions. He sounded like a psychokiller. That fact probably has more to do with the inside of my head, than the actual dude in the app – who I am sure is quite lovely, but… I moved on.
This is the one that I used for a while most. It is very simple (and free!) and it also allows you to customize the session to your preferences – you can choose any duration, and decide between a guided meditation or a simple timer. I have experimented with both guided and unguided meditations – I do both, depending on the mood. Guided meditations often make more sense in the middle of the day. And I do like the absolute still of unguided meditations first thing in the morning.
What’s unique about this one, is that it’s not technically a meditation app. Yet I have been looking for something like this. It’s a deep breathing app that helps you breathe through the belly, and not just the chest (which is where most of us breathe). And since your phone goes with you everywhere, you can use it in any situation (before a job interview? dentist appointment? date?). I would have loved to know about this one last time I was navigating through Toronto’s all-of-a-sudden overwhelming subway system.
You can use Calm.com both as an app and as a web client – just go to calm.com, and you can select your background, your sound and the meditation duration. Currently, this is my favorite app.
I have purchased an annual subscription in order to have access to all of their guided meditations, including 7-day long courses on topics like happiness and anxiety. I also love the highly specific guided meditations for peaceful commuting, sleep and anxiety, as well as the recent addition of breathing section and bedtime stories.
Note: You get a pretty good idea of what an average person considers calming, simply by considering the different backgrounds that the apps offer.
White sandy beach. Nope, just reminds me of all-inclusive vacations.
Being under water? No, thank you.
Sky and clouds – a little too heaven-y.
Moving across the water – too many questions: why am i moving? am I flying? what am I flying on? a broom? a bird?
Sun moving through the clouds felt like a political trailer from the 1950s – I constantly waited for the nuclear mushroom to appear.
Close-up of flowing water was just trippy.
The blue shimmery things falling down look way too much like snow.
I liked the field with grass and flowers.
I liked the orange falling down glitter though with instrumental soundtrack.
The green sunny stuff is awesome. Looks like what you might see if you try to look at the sun through a leaf.
Ok, I clearly have way too much time on my hands.
Off to meditate.
P.S. When all fails, and it’s one of THOSE days, do this: | <urn:uuid:ff4498c2-5854-4a57-ad46-a5da8a91db4d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://solovieva.com/5-things-i-learned-from-meditation/ | 2021-10-21T21:14:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585441.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021195527-20211021225527-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.965463 | 1,698 | [

This episode of BIC Talks remembers an individual who has been described as “the conscience of the collective self known as Andhra society”. Arvind Narrain in a conversation with Aishwarya Ravikumar provides a primer and an insight into the inner workings of a profound and rare mind of clarity and action, as we mark his birth anniversary on the 10th of June.
K Balagopal (1952-2009) was a trained Mathematician who became one of the country’s most important human rights activists. He was initially with the Andhra Pradesh Civil Liberties Committee and then went on to found the Human Rights Forum. As an inspirational part of these human rights organisations he travelled the length and breadth of the land from Kashmir in the North to Orissa and the North East, Gujarat and of course his own home state, the then Andhra Pradesh, producing an astonishing series of Fact Finding Reports which documented and analysed human rights violations. He also wrote extensively in the Economic and Political Weekly and was an insightful commentor on Indian political and legal developments right from Gujarat 2002, the rise of the Naxalites to the politics of Mandal. His writings and speeches have been archived at www.balagopal.org . To get a sense of the man in his simplicity of lifestyle, passion for human rights as well as commitment to democracy you can watch a short film by Deepa Dhanraj.
Arvind Narrain is a lawyer and writer based in Bangalore. He is a founder member of the Alternative Law Forum. He is the co-editor of Law like Love: Queer perspectives on Law and Co-author of Breathing Life into the Constitution. He was also a part of the team of lawyers challenging Section 377 of the IPC right from the High Court in 2009 to the Supreme Court in 2018.
Aishwarya Ravikumar is trained in Communication Studies in Bangalore, and in this capacity, has worked in different contexts to make short documentary films and learn about governance and community perspectives on land & forest rights, right to employment, fair wages and information and food sovereignty in Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam and Gujarat with rural and indigenous communities. She is now working in Bangalore as a Communication Coordinator, to develop an understanding of urban governance and laws concerning the lives of vulnerable communities and the urban poor. | <urn:uuid:29c78444-5b62-4180-a465-a9e069cc164f> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://bangaloreinternationalcentre.org/event/126-k-balagopal/ | 2021-10-23T07:16:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585653.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023064718-20211023094718-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.95562 | 554 | [

New Jersey State Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean, joined by Republican Senators Joe Pennacchio, Anthony M. Bucco, Steve Oroho, Kristin Corrado and Michael Testa, issued the following statement in response to coverage in The Star-Ledger questioning why the Legislature has failed to act on important hearings to investigate the State’s pandemic preparedness.
“The hearings we called for more than two months ago aren’t happening, and we’re all angry and frustrated. Mistakes were made that cost thousands of people their lives in nursing homes, and we recognize the crucial need to understand what led to the mistakes. Delays and foot-dragging are costing us time we cannot afford to lose.
“In a letter on May 20, we called for the formation of a Senate Select Committee with subpoena power to investigate the Administration’s response to COVID so we can understand what happened, learn from errors and prevent it from happening again.
“That’s why our entire caucus supported this effort and voted for the committee creation even as some Democrats moved to block our efforts.
“This must happen immediately. It is beyond time for this committee to meet.” | <urn:uuid:a380e10b-f95c-47a6-b9b5-264ffd4442bb> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://dancirucci.blogspot.com/2020/07/nj-must-investigate-nursing-home-deaths.html | 2021-10-23T09:22:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585653.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023064718-20211023094718-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.962937 | 252 | [

RF&P Units in Floridagreenspun.com : LUSENET : ACL and SAL Railroads Historical Society : One Thread
Did any RF&P E8 units make it as far South as Florida on passenger trains?
-- Carey Stevens ([email protected]), October 18, 2001
For example- #92 The Champion left Jacksonville October 13, 1968, with SCL 505, 661, and RF&P 1015 as power
-- Larry Brennan ([email protected]), October 21, 2001.
Yes, I remember seeing RF&P E8's on the SAL trains too.
-- Jim Coviello ([email protected]), October 19, 2001.
yes, i rember seeing them in st pete and clearwater stations fairly regularly
-- troy nolen ([email protected]), October 19, 2001.
RF@P E's ran regularly as motive power on Florida trains.I'm sure that this was done to balance mileaqe between the participating railroads between NY and Fla,as was also done with rolling stock. An extreme case of this policy occured at Auburndale years ago,when the St. Pete section of the Silver Star showed up with an RF@P E-8, coach,and 10-6 sleeper! --Paul Coe([email protected]
-- Paul B. Coe ([email protected]), October 18, 2001.
Yes. In 1964, the ACL and RF&P executed a power run through agreement. A number of units from each carrier were equipped with each others train control/train stop apparatus. thus, RF&P units got ACL trainstop and ACL units got RF&P cab signal apparatus. Previous answers on this Q&A forum have listed the unit numbers.

You can do it but due to some reasons you should not do it:
– They are dangerous and may even bite you.
– Their touch may sometimes be allergic to you.
– You do not have such specialized equipment which our exterminators have.
– You do not have experience of controlling them.
Yes, we are available to you locally as we operate locally and our expert technicians are local residents of Perth. So, they are available for you at the time when you need us the most. | <urn:uuid:0adf81c1-9ae0-4edf-aa8d-f076ecf13350> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://trustedpestcontrol.com.au/cockroach-pest-control | 2021-10-24T22:07:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587606.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024204628-20211024234628-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.938734 | 1,377 | [

Paper-thin fingerprint scanners could soon make cell phones, USB memory, and credit cards more secure. The new scanners, developed by Nanoident Technologies, a startup based in Linz, Austria, detect patterns and blood content in the tissue within the finger. This makes them much harder to fool than ordinary fingerprint readers, which measure only the ridges and contours of fingerprints.
Nanoident’s technology, which could be available in consumer devices within two years, takes advantage of inkjet technology to print light sensors, light emitters (similar to the organic light-emitting devices used in some cell phone displays), and electronic circuitry for memory and signal processing. This combination makes it possible to illuminate an object and measure the reflected light, says CEO Klaus Schroeter.
The printing-based manufacturing process is far cheaper than the process used with silicon-based electronics – the sensors will cost less than two dollars in cell phones, and in large-volume “smart card” applications, less than a dollar, Schroeter says. Furthermore, the devices can be printed on a wide variety of surfaces, such as glass, plastic, and paper.
The scanners combine information from the surface of the finger – the fingerprint – and the underlying tissue and blood. This deeper information is obtained by illuminating the finger with different wavelengths of light, some reflecting off the surface, and others, toward the red end of the color spectrum, penetrating deeper, allowing the scanner to extract data from beneath the skin. Combining information about the tissue structure, which Schroeter says is unique to each person, with conventional fingerprint data improves the accuracy of the scanner. The company’s sensors are more than 99 percent accurate, Schroeter says, while conventional fingerprint detectors are inaccurate for around three percent of the population.
The more detailed measurements make the sensors difficult to fool. According to Peter Honeyman, scientific director of the Center for Information Technology and Integration at the University of Michigan, making artificial fingers to trick conventional sensors is easy – and an increasing threat to fingerprint-based security. But since such a fake finger does not have the tissue and blood of a real finger, Nanoident’s sensor could tell the difference.
By using more than one measurement – or “multi-modal biometrics” – Honeyman says technologies such as Nanoident’s could produce more secure fingerprint systems. But he also cautions that security measures can eventually be cracked – especially if the payoff is large enough to justify the effort and investment.
Schroeter says his company is developing the technology in cooperation with a major producer of cell-phone parts. And they plan to build scanners into “smart” credit cards or cash cards. In this application, the printed electronics would compare the scan to data about the finger stored onboard the card. Banks considering the use of smart cards prefer storing information on a card to in a centralized database to be accessed via a card reader, since such a database could be vulnerable, Schroeter says.
The company plans to use its printed light sensors and emitters and electronics for other applications, too, including biochips. Currently, these chips, which are widely used in biomedical research, have arrays of material that fluoresce when target molecules are present, and require expensive readers. Cheaper printed scanners could be useful for relatively simple applications, such as allergy tests.

This is not the Tom Petty story that I intended to write.
Though I was more than thrilled to catch up with Petty, whom I had interviewed before, I had no clue that this would turn out to be the last, for me and for him — that he would die just a few days later after going into cardiac arrest at age 66.
This is not the way things were supposed to happen.
When I sat down with Petty in the outer room of the cozy but fully equipped recording studio at his home above Malibu beach, the idea was for him to reflect on the wildly successful 40th anniversary tour he and the Heartbreakers had wrapped less than 48 hours earlier at the end of three sold-out nights at the Hollywood Bowl.
It was a triumphant stand particularly rewarding to Petty, a Florida transplant who considered himself and his band mates California adoptees. He said as much from the stage each night, noting how the Heartbreakers, although composed entirely of musicians born or raised in and around Gainesville, Fla., had been born at the Village Studios in West Los Angeles.
“This year has been a wonderful year for us,” he said now, sipping a cup of coffee he’d just poured at 4:30 in the afternoon and sinking into the plush sofa. Above his head hung a framed illustration of his departed friend and boyhood idol George Harrison, created by artist Shepard Fairey and presented to Petty by Harrison’s son, musician Dhani Harrison. “This has been that big slap on the back we never got, ” he said, referring to the popular, critical and financial affirmation that wasn’t always apparent throughout the group’s hard-working history.
