Maternal health volunteers are needed in both urban and rural areas of Honduras. This work may include supporting women laboring in public hospitals, offering education to medical students and medical staff in hospitals and universities, giving childbirth and general education to women in hogares maternos, womens groups, health care centers and regional hospitals, or collaborating with health care centers and traditional midwives in rural areas.
Labor support in the public hospital setting includes emotional, physical and informational support during and after the birthing process. Family members are not allowed in the labor and delivery rooms, so the need for emotional support is great. Additionally, most women receive no sexual education in school and receive almost no childbirth education outside of the materials distributed by Dar a Luz. Many laboring women are adolescents between the ages of 13-18 years old, a fact which brings its own social and sometimes physiological challenges. In addition to labor support and childbirth education, you will be setting a positive example for others for through your respect and consideration for women.
The initial fee is $US 300, which covers one week of program costs, each additional week is $US 200.
After a month the fee is $US 150 each week.
What if I’m worried about my Spanish proficiency?
Different volunteer positions require different levels of Spanish language proficiency. Work in the hospital can be undertaken even by those with minimal or no Spanish; the main requirement for this work is that you come with an open heart. Other work, such as collaboration with traditional midwives or workshops in hospitals, require and advanced level of Spanish.
Please note that we are also able to arrange Spanish lessons during your time in Honduras. | 2019-04-24T06:32:40 | https://daraluzhonduras.org/information-about-volunteering/ |
Les's waistcoat buttons hint at why others were doing the riding in 1923.
SLB's "middle aged spread" can also be seen in this 1921 picture of him with the Douglas racing car at Brooklands!
Some details of the OHV engine can just be seen.
The frame of Lounde's bike posted above appears to be OB rather than OC given the front and rear brake shoe lever mounting lug locations? Rear wheel is obviously not OB, engine could be either OB or OC. Either way - as Leon said above -it deserved better!
well done Leon on getting to the 100th reply of this thread with the word "century" in the advert you posted!.
All three bikes pictured at Wellington Speedway are (or started out as) OB models. The OC would have the rear axle lugs casting like the DT/SW and TT/IoM models had. OB had the simple plate lug like the RA.
I have just come across this interesting British Pathe film on the1923 IOM Senior TT. Great footage of RA's, the atrocious weather, Sheard finishing and we catch a very short glimpse of Les Bailey moving towards the camera and out of shot at about 1:23 and then another with him congratulating Tom Sheard for the win.
From the video of the 1923 TT win, there appears to be some poignancy in Les putting his hat across his chest rather that waving it in the air triumphantly for Tom Sheard, possibly because the day before (Thursday 14th June 1923) was the funeral of William Wilson Douglas? (reported in the Western Daily Press, Bristol 15 June 1923). He had passed away on Sunday 10th June 1923.
This, along with the death of Veasey on a Douglas during the senior TT, would definitely have put a damper on what otherwise would have been a huge celebration after all the efforts in getting the Douglas Factory Team ready for the TT (this information being presented by Clew in The Best Twin).
Unfortunately more bad news was to come. The following day, Saturday 17th June 1923, Miss Helen Douglas, daughter of John Douglas was tragically run over by a taxi cab while crossing a road at Weston Super Mare on the first day of a holiday and died later in hospital – this was reported in the Western Daily Press on Sunday 17th June 1923.
This must have been an incredibly upsetting time for the Douglas family having a double bereavement in such a short space of time. Helen’s funeral was on Friday 22nd June 1923 with many shocked mourners in attendance including S.L. Bailey. Maybe no wonder we don’t see much of what Les was doing after this time - until he leaves for Australia - given the extremely sad occasion(s) and given he would have been busy with new models, Olympia Show (in October) and maybe also managing the transition for Pullin to take over his role at Douglas?
"The Hut" in Weybridge appears to have been a "Tea Garden" and a B&B. It is not far from Brooklands, so was probably where Les stayed when attending racing and testing there?
"...Mr BAILEY (a cycle racer) said they were just as much working for the war as the men the trenches. Personally he thought they should have formed their union without "downing tools." (Dissent.) Personally he would have preferred to have seen them form their union without ceasing work. The War Office had told them they wanted 250 machines week from Douglas's, but in order to do so they would need night shifts. . Enrolment of members in the union followed, during which audience sang " Tipperary" and other songs. ....."
"THE DISPUTE AT KINGSWOOD. WILLIAM DOUGLAS & HIS MEN. Yesterday, Messrs Douglas Bros.' employees, numbering 458. who are still at work, assembled in the dining hall adjoining the works, and heard what Mr W. Douglas had to say on the present crisis. Mr W. Douglas, who spoke on the war crisis, said he did not think it was an occasion for anyone to think of money-making before duty. He added: I have been quite satisfied to supply goods to the War Office and the Government, not only the old price charged before the war, but even at reduced prices. A good many people are under the impression, that have received enhanced prices, owing to the demand, but this is not the case. To show my appreciation in practical manner of the men who have stood me, they shall receive an advance of per cent wages each week, every man and boy on the place. (Applause.) In addition to this, I am going to give you another 5 per cent., which will be added to a card given each one for the purpose every week; but this you will draw at the end of the war, or. if the war is not over by Christmas, 1915, we will make the first payment on the Christmas. (Applause.) I know it is necessary you should have some increase, on account of the, increased cost food and provisions of all kinds. Speaking to the workers subsequently, Mr S. L. Bailey said the bonus being given by Douglas did not come from the Government, it was from his own pocket. After alluding to the fact that the works had been kept open for the sake of the men in the early days of the war, and machines were accumulated without any prospect of their sale, he said had been a slice of luck that they were able to sell the machines to the Government. He added: There are quite a number of pals having a rest, who went out on Monday, and are not coming back until they are tired having a rest. Now, on Monday morning Mr Douglas walked through the works, and not a single complaint was made to him, neither did a single man speak to him. and no mention was made that the men required anything fresh. He walked down the road the works the men were leaving for their lunch-time. and not a single man complained. However, the men did not return after lunch. In future, that there will be no excuse for complaints, we are having a suggestion box. That box will be the means of direct communication between " man" and " master.' It will there for you workmen to put any complaints or suggestions, except, of course, trivial things, as we do not want the box abused. Another thing I want to mention. You may have pals relations who think the works are closed to them. Now. if you see any them will you tell them the works are open, and always will open, for the men to return either individually collectively, and they will not victimised in any way. They can return singly in a body, whichever they like. (Applause.) Not a single man will be victimised in any way. Mr Bailey added that all the workmen were to have badges shortly "
It is interesting the statement by Bailey which seems to imply that without sales to the government for the war effort Douglas might have been struggling to sell motorcycles!
The strike was over fairly shortly afterwards with most men returning to work with a 10% pay rise. I am still trying to find out the significance of the badges that they were issued with.
On the 29th May 1916 the Bristol Western daily Press reported that there was a Quarterly meeting of The "Douglas" Soldiers fund and that the chair was held by Bailey, who remarked after reading the balance sheet that the results disclosed were "surprisingly satisfactory"! The fund had been started by a Mr. Hodges who was a workman at Douglas Bros. and the primary aim of the fund was to regularly forward parcels of smokes, groceries, comforts etc. to their "late" fellow workmen who were new to active service. By that date 734 parcels to 104 soldiers had been dispatched. 8 soldiers on leave and 5 patient inmates in military hospitals had received monetary assistance in lieu of parcels. Bailey suggested that as well as dispatching parcels the fund could also offer a little relief to the wives of the soldiers.
On Feb 7 1917 The Western Daily Press reported that Wounded soldiers were entertained at the dining hall at Douglas's and later that year on 2nd November it was reported that Bailey attended court in a hearing relating to a theft from the factory. interestingly it refers to his position with the company as being the manager of the munition department.
Just jumping forward for a moment to 1920 as I have found a possible link to William John Webb that was mentioned in posts #11 and #12 on this thread by Paul and Leon in regards to SLB's B.M.C.R.C. medal for the 1912 All Comers Handicap.
The funeral of a William Webb was reported in the Bristol Western Daily Press 4 March 1920, he was the licencee of the Kingswood Hotel and was 52. This would probably make him to old to be the William Webb whom Paul refers to, but he had a son who is also named William and could possibly be the recipient of Les's medal.
"FUNERAL OF MR WEBB, KINGSWOOD.
The funeral yesterday Mr Win. Webb (52), licensee of Kingswood Hotel, who died on Saturday as the result a motor cycle accident, at Holy Trinity Church, Kingswood, was largely attended. The chief mourners were Mrs Webb (widow), Wm. Webb (son), Mrs Hunt (Redditch), and Mrs Edkins .(Studley, Warwick). There were also present:—Messrs W. Douglas, W. W. Douglas, S. L. Bailey, Gwynne Parry and Geo. Bayley; Messrs Burnham (chairman), S. Fox and P. R. Betty, Kingswood Urban District Council; Messrs P. McWhirter. S. Britton, W. Golding, E. Greenland (Bradford-on-Avon) and McCrae, representing the licensed victuallers; Messrs Arnold Matthews. S. Fox, E. R. Candy, John Mortimer, Issac Bryant and F. W. Higgins representing Kingswood Horse Show; Messrs W. Douglas, W. W. Douglas. S. L. Bailey, W. B. Cox, G. Allan, and H. Harris, the Douglas Club; Messrs T. Mackay and W. Bryant, Douglas Anglers' Club. There were also present:—Messrs W. C. Stone, W. Bryant, A. G. Davies, H. Howes, W. Joines, F. Smith, J. Frv, W. E. Phipps. T. Evans, E. Joy, E. Morris, W. H. Morris, G. Blann. A. Short, A. G. Davies, Mr and Mrs Squires (Fishponds), Mrs Stevens (Brislington), Inspector Goulder, G. Olds, Geo. Randall. C. Manning, F. Pratten. Richardson, T. Evans, W. B. Cox, T. Mr and Miss Evans (Trowbridge), E. Harris, and Baker. The Vicar Kingswood (Canon Dandy) officiated. There were wreaths from Mrs Webb, a iarge cross from deceased's smoke room friends. friends at Studley, Warwickshire, Mr and Mrs Fred Iles, Mr and Mrs Coleman, Mr and Mrs McWhirter,Mr and Mrs Wallis, Mr and Mrs S. L. Bailey (Staple Hill), Lily and Laura Squire (Fishponds), Mr T. Evans and family (Wingfield), Ashton Gate Brewery. and Mrs Manning. Dorothy and Madge. Mr and Chapple Mrs S. R. Stevens (Brislington), Mr and Mrs Payne (Bedminster), Mr and Mrs Iles. Misses Elsie and Flo Iles, Mr and Mrs Blake,Mr and Mrs Chandler. Mr and Mrs F. Pratten. Mr and Mrs F. Shellard, Mr and Mrs R. Fudge, Mr and Mrs Brown and Doliy. The funeral arrangements were carried out Mr S. Boulton, Kingswood. "
I found a reference to a donation made by a W.J.Webb of the Kingswood Hotel so seems to confirm one connection between Douglas, Bailey and Paul's Great Grandfather.
I have not managed to find much more on what Bailey was up to during WW1.... yet, but moving to 1919 I came across some interesting links between Bailey and Sir John Alcock - the pilot of the first Atlantic non-stop crossing by aeroplane. W.W. Douglas was also a friend and I gather they had known each other for some time. Sir John raced a Douglas car at Brooklands and was going to be presented with a new one from the factory for his success in crossing the Atlantic, but unfortunately he was killed in a plane crash in December 1919 before it could be delivered.
This article appeared in the Bristol Western Daily Press the day after Captain John Alcock and Lt. Arthur Whitten Brown's landing in Ireland.
I had read a later article on Bailey when he returned to Australia that stated he had been involved in some aviation activities but I didn't know at the time he was probably referring to these events. It does appear he played some role in events leading up to the successful crossing.
Some more pictures of the early ohv engines. First is a better picture of the timing side of the 'steel' cylinder engine built for SLB by Bradshaw. Unfortunately I did not document the publication, but it looks like one of the motorcycling periodicals.
This second image looks like the machine seen early in this thread mounted by SLB and F.G. Ball; here being riden by Kickham. Not the clearest of pictures, but I don't think it has the axial fins of the steel cylinder SLB engine, but the radial fins.
Great pictures Doug!, the one of the Bradshaw / Bailey creation showing a lot more detail than the ones previously posted. The one of Kickham at the Liverpool MC speed trial is interesting as it looks very similar to the one shown of Alfie Alexander is on in Leon's post #33 from Jeff Clew's "The Best twin", but from the other side?
I found out that the badges that SLB refers to in post #108 were badges that identified that the wearer was doing important work for the war effort and was needed at home rather than enlisting. These were worn as some members of the public were quite vocal in letting their patriotic feelings being heard and harassing any eligible male to enlist - even if they were needed on the home front in specialist roles.
It appears that Captain Sir John Alcock had a few links with Bristol and the Douglas factory. On the day he was knighted with Brown he attended a Gymkhana organised by the Bristol Motor Cycle Club. This was one of a series of events organised by the club in connection with a visit by members of the Auto-Cycle union and reported in the Bristol Western Daily Press June 23 1919. As part of these events a tour of the Douglas works was made on the 21st and S.L.Bailey announced at the luncheon that Sir Alcock would be coming direct from his visit to the King at Windsor in order to attend their (the Bristol MCC) rally. Sir Alcock also was the guest of members of the Bristol MCC at a dinner later that evening.
In the Whiltshire Times and Trowbridge Advertiser June 21st 1919, it was reported that a congratulatory telegram was sent to Alcock after his successful flight by his good friend Mr. Fred W. Ball of Home Hill Buildings, castle St. Trowbridge, who was Mr. F.G. Balls father. It is stated that at the time that Frederick George Ball was the head of the experimental and competition department of Douglas Motors and that he had flown with Alcock a number of times in the past.
What are the chances of finding a copy of the telegram from Alcock to Bailey sent from Clifden if such a thing existed? Close to zero I would have thought. This find seems almost too good to be true.....but I guess stranger things have happened.....? | 2019-04-25T21:56:45 | https://www.douglasmotorcycles.net/index.php?topic=7014.msg28020 |
reauthorization and changes to allow insurers participating in the program to sell private insurance outside the NFIP.
reauthorizing the NFIP, which expires Sept. 30, 2017. The NAIC is holding its summer meeting in San Diego.

A city with deteriorating houses. A pristine house seemingly without inhabitants. Inhabitants of a world no longer human. In this remarkable collection of stories, Ernst-Wilhelm Händler transports us to a place where nothing is quite as we know it. Händler creates a series of possible worlds, some resembling those we experience on a regular basis, others existing in startling opposition to everyday life.
Ernst-Wilhelm Händler was born in Regensburg, Germany, in 1953. He studied economics and philosophy and worked as the head of his family's business after completing his studies. Since the publication of his highly acclaimed debut, City with Houses, he has written three novels--Kongreß, Fall, and Sturm. In 1999 he was awarded the prestigious Erik-Reger Prize for Literature.
"This is [Händler's] first publication. One can hardly believe this, since the eleven thought games, fantasy pieces and language exercises in this volume suggest an explored virtuosity, and thus maneuver themselves through an astonishing spectrum of literary forms. All that which leads ambitious young authors to fail is avoided. This book does not take its life solely from the author's biography, but rather allows that which truly measures literary rank-the experiences of strangers emerge from amongst the changing voices." | 2019-04-21T00:47:36 | http://nupress.northwestern.edu/content/city-houses |

One of our commenters put forward a defense for the position of Jehovah’s Witnesses regarding the mandatory reporting of child abuse cases. Coincidently, a good friend of mine gave me the identical defense. I believe it reflects the standard belief among Jehovah’s Witnesses, and therefore I felt it required more than a reply at the comment level.
The royal commission showed that the WT has been producing material for a long time to educate people on the dangers of child abuse. The JW policy is to do things according to what the Bible says. For them the Bible is above the laws of the land, but they comply where the laws do not contradict or go against Biblical directives.
The two-witness rule is only for taking congregational action, not for taking legal action. It has been up to parents or guardians to take legal action. It seems many parents have not wanted to report such matters to authorities, as they did not want to the hassle. One of the things that the Royal Commission has commented on is that Australia does not have uniform laws about reporting such matters. The JWs in states where it is mandatory would report it even if parents did not want to do it.
It has not been the big problem the papers made it out to be.
I do not wish to single out the commentor, but only his argument.
The Organization has been hiding behind the fact that where there is mandatory reporting, they do comply. This is a red herring. The implication is that if the government doesn’t feel that reporting all cases of child abuse is important enough to make mandatory, it is unfair to come down on us for failing to report. What came out at the Australian Royal Commission hearing was that some states had mandatory reporting and repealed it. The reason was that by making it mandatory, people reported everything for fear of being penalized. The authorities were then swamped with a lot of trivial complaints and spent so much time following them all up that they feared legitimate cases would slip through the cracks. They hoped that by repealing the mandatory reporting law, people would do the right thing and report legitimate cases. Witnesses would likely not expect “worldly” people to do the right thing, but why wouldn’t we do what the authorities expect, given that we hold ourselves to a higher standard?
There are 2 things that we are overlooking in our facile defense of this serious situation. The first is that even if there is a mandatory reporting law, it only applies to allegations of child abuse. That’s allegations not crimes. Mr. Stewart, the lawyer for the commission, made it clear that reporting crime is mandatory. Where there is clear evidence of child abuse – when it has been possible to implement the 2-witness rule – we have a crime and all crimes are to be reported. Yet, even in cases where crime has clearly been committed, we have still failed to report it. We failed to report over 1000 cases! What possible defense could there be for that?
Why do we deal with this crime differently than we would any other? Why do we say it is only the responsibility of the family?
Let us say that a sister came forward and reported to the elders that she saw an elder leaving a barn with blood on his clothes. She then entered the barn and found the body of a murdered woman. Would the elders first go to the brother, or would they go directly to the police? Based on how we handle child abuse cases, they would go to the brother. Let us say the brother denies even being there. The elders are now dealing with a single witness. Based on how we deal with child abuse cases, the brother would continue to serve as an elder and we would inform the sister that she has the right to go to the police. If she doesn’t, then no one will know unless someone stumbles upon the corpse. Of course, by this time, the brother will have hidden the corpse and cleaned up the crime scene.
If you replace “murdered woman” with “sexually abused child”, you have an accurate scenario of what we have done not only in Australia but around the world, thousands of times.
Now what if the murderer we’ve just excused turns out to be a serial killer and kills again? Who bears the bloodguilt for all the murders he commits from that point forward? Ezekiel was told by God that if he didn’t warn the wicked, the wicked would still die, but Jehovah would hold Ezekiel accountable for their spilled blood. In other words, for failing to report he would bear bloodguilt. (Ezekiel 3:17-21) Would this principle not apply in the case of failing to report a serial killer? Of course! Would the principle not also apply in the case of failing to report a child abuser? Serial killers and child abusers are similar in that they both are compulsive repeat offenders. However, serial killers are quite rare while child abusers, tragically, are common.
We try to absolve ourselves of responsibility by claiming that we are following the Bible. What Bible Scripture is it that tells us we have no obligation to protect those in the congregation and those in the community against a very serious threat to their health and well-being? Is this not one of the reasons we claim authority to knock on people’s doors repeatedly? We do it out of love so as to warn them of something that is very dangerous should they ignore it. That is our claim! By doing this, we believe we are absolving ourselves of bloodguilt, following the model set by Ezekiel. Yet, when the threat is even more imminent, we claim we do not have to report it unless ordered to do so. The fact is, we have been ordered to do so by the highest authority in the universe. The entire law of Moses rested on 2 principles: to love God above all other things, and to love your neighbour as yourself. If you have children, would you not want to know about a potential threat to their well-being? Would you consider that a neighbour who knew of such a threat and failed to warn you was showing you love? If your children were subsequently raped and you learned your neighbor knew of the threat and failed to warn you, would you not hold him accountable?
In our example of a single witness to a murder, there was forensic evidence that the police could have used to potentially establish the guilt or innocence of the brother that was witnessed leaving the scene of the crime. We would surely call in the police in such a case, knowing that they have the means we lack to establish the facts. The same is true in cases of child abuse. That we fail to make use of this tool shows that we are not really interested in others, nor are we interested in the sanctification of God’s name. We cannot sanctify God’s name by disobeying him. We are only interested in protecting the reputation of the Organization.
By failing to put God’s law first, we have brought reproach on ourselves, and because we presume to represent him and bear his name, we bring reproach on him. There will be serious consequences.
There will be serious consequences indeed. No one mocks God and gets away with it. I applaud your methodical reasoning which is a breath of fresh air in light of the horrendous, shameful, and disgusting testimonies of elders, bethel members and even a member of the governing body who claim to be the faithful and discreet slave selected by Jesus and Jehovah themselves. They must’ve made a mistake! They picked cowards!
Ime with you on this countrygirl, I feel the same from a different angle, I feel like Ime rubbing shoulders with people who can’t tell what is really wrong or right unless they are told by the GB.
Is this a form of psychosis on my part?
Are JW like those in nazi Germany who obeyed without question ?
Yes what exactly constitutes a reportable crime?
How serious must it be to make the grade for reportable?
Where exactly did the “bible trained conscience” go ?
I personally feel that I can no longer trust anyone who trusts the GB and their policies,only because it seems to me that their consciences don’t actually function.
At the recent imitate Jesus convention one of the speakers said that Jesus didn’t micro manage his disciples,this whole business of report/ not report seems to be micro management at its ugly best.
This is the best summarization I have read so far. Thanks, it cuts to the chase. Obey God as ruler rather than men? No, it looks like disobeying both God, and men. And worse, hiding under fallacies to do so.
At least Christ actually commanded his followers to be HIS witnesses, not witnesses of his Father – a thing he was perfectly capable of asking of them, if that were his Father’s will on the matter.
Christ’s disciples were eyewitnesses to their Father’s bringing forth of the Messiah.
Actually, Anonymous wasn’t suggesting that in his comment, Deborah.
Deborah, are you working on the assumption I don’t agree with you? If so, where did you get that idea?
I really don’t see how you got that from my response.
Great point. I wish I could post a letter to Elders I have from 1992 in this forum. The response to a question about knowing about a person criminal past is disturbing.
Perhaps you could just summarize what it said and give us some references. There are online sources we could use to confirm it, but we’d need to know the date of the letter.
The date of the letter was July 23, 2015 and the reference line was “Re: Canada Branch Renovation Project”. It was to be read out at the first service meeting following receipt.
Sorry, I meant the letter that Scrubmaster was referring to, not yours, Meleti. | 2019-04-20T13:15:04 | http://meletivivlon.com/2015/09/02/the-mandatory-reporting-red-herring/ |
Chandler Rome , Houston Chronicle Nov. 5, 2018 Updated: Nov. 5, 2018 10:11 p.m.
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow says he wouldn’t hestitate to move on the right deal if it presents itself at this week’s GM meetings.
CARLSBAD, Calif. — Slated to begin Tuesday morning inside a sprawling Southern California golf resort, Major League Baseball’s general manager meetings generally do not invite the hysteria and hype of its Winter Meetings.
The three-day gathering instead lays a foundation for next month’s monstrous summit of the sport’s entire world.
The Astros have obvious needs — catching and starting pitching foremost among them — all undercut by one ominous unknown that could alter the arrangements Luhnow has already begun to lay.
Luhnow said Monday the organization will know more “shortly” in regard to Lance McCullers Jr.’s health. The general manager was scant on details, revealing only that the 24-year-old has seen “some doctors” and some type of surgery exists as a possibility.
McCullers strained a muscle in his forearm while swinging a bat in August. He returned to pitch five postseason innings. After the season concluded, McCullers acknowledged he pitched “through some stuff” in the postseason. Forearm injuries or soreness often can be a precursor to elbow problems.
McCullers’ potential exclusion places more urgency on addressing the Astros’ starting rotation. Charlie Morton and Dallas Keuchel have entered free agency. If McCullers cannot pitch, Houston will be without three pitchers who totaled 499 innings in 2017.
“I think our goal is going to be looking at all the different alternatives — including trade, free agency and our own guys — as a way to fill the rotation,” Luhnow said.
Luhnow arrived late Monday afternoon at San Diego International Airport. He scrolled through an iPhone on the ground floor at baggage claim, awaiting the hour-long ride to continue dialogue in Carlsbad.
Keuchel holds a qualifying offer he will almost certainly decline by the Nov. 12 deadline.
The Astros did not extend one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offers to their four other eligible free agents. Clubs receive compensation draft picks for each qualifying offer that is declined by a free agent who signs with another team.
Morton, 34, seemed a logical candidate to receive one. So did utility man Marwin Gonzalez, though he is expected to command a multiyear deal in his first free-agency foray.
Luhnow said every organization does “different analysis” while disseminating qualifying offers.
In 2015, for example, the Astros extended one valued at $15.8 million to Colby Rasmus. The enigmatic outfielder accepted — the first major leaguer ever to do so. The next season, he mustered a .641 OPS in 107 games.
Luhnow said the Astros have interest in “several” of their seven free-agent players. Catcher Martin Maldonado, the trade deadline acquisition who impressed with his defense and fast assimilation to a new environment, won the favor of Houston’s pitching staff.
Maldonado’s offense is meager — just a .627 OPS in 119 games. Two free-agent targets — Yasmani Grandal and Wilson Ramos — each had an OPS over .800 in 2018. So, too, did Marlins All-Star J.T. Realmuto, who has already stated his desire to be traded.
The Astros prioritize defense over offense for their catchers but obviously do not want anemic offense from a spot in the order. Striking a balance is imperative. | 2019-04-22T13:58:22 | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/astros/article/GM-meetings-put-Astros-Jeff-Luhnow-in-13365542.php |
Use Case-centric approach to requirements gathering.
List the steps involved in completing a use case, with the Flow of Events tool. Flow of Events is a critical element of any use case description. The use case software comes with a powerful events tool that supports wireframe editing, documenting extended flow, referencing included use case, and presenting business logic with if-then-use and loop operators. Even more, you can generate system level sequence diagram and activity diagram from the events flow to use in communicating system design ideas.
As an all-rounded use case analysis tool, the use case description editor supports additional note taking features in addition to traditional use case template. Discuss requirements with stakeholders, and note down their requests, suggestions and concerns in the Use Case Notes editor. The notes editor provides a use case centric approach to managing user needs collect in discussions and brainstorming. You can organize note items in hierarchy, emphasize key contents with formatting functions like bold and italic, and even generate event flows selectively from note items.
A use case represents a business goal. To manage requirements under a use cases in turns encourages the creation, implementation and management of requirements that respect and align to the business goals established. This requirement management approach prevents manpower, development time and cost wastages resulted from developing features unwanted.
Use Sequence Diagram to model system interaction, Activity Diagram to model high level programming flow, BPMN Business Process Diagram to model business activities and SysML Requirement Diagram to model system functions. Take use case as a starting point of system design, elaborate it with other diagrams and manage them all under the use case, neatly and with traceability.
Manage the supplementary files, web pages, internal model and diagram linkages as references of the use case. These references provide details of a use case that facilitates the communication and on-going development of the use case. The use case tool helps you keep all the references in an organized manner.
Instantly produce a full use case specification that consists of the details collected under the use case. Our powerful reporting engine helps you grab and organize all the use case details, and present them in a way that makes sense to both development teams and stakeholders. | 2019-04-18T18:23:10 | https://www.visual-paradigm.com/features/use-case-description/ |
Well, sometimes conventional wisdom is wrong.
After Amy Winehouse’s untimely death last month, the smart money (if there are actually people out there ghoulish enough to bet on such a thing) was that drugs played a role despite vehement denials from her father, Mitch, who insisted that she had been clean, at least when it came to illegal substances, for awhile. However, he did admit that she was still struggling with alcohol abuse at the time of her death.
Aside from ruling out drugs, the report did not indicate what the cause of death might be. | 2019-04-22T01:18:34 | https://www.jta.org/2011/08/23/culture/no-illegal-drugs-were-found-in-amy-winehouses-system-at-the-time-of-her-death |

There were hedge-schools in Drumbeagh Lane, two in Derryrealt and one in Drumcash.
Teachers in Drumbeagh Lane named Cox and Maginnis. The place was long known as Cox's Lane.
Teachers in Derryrealt named Cassidy and Doogan came from Gortoral every morning-about five miles.
John McGovern, Mary Byrne (Swanlinbar) Hannah & Annie Maguire (Gubrawoollly) taught in this school.
The people of this district paid the teacher. There was an old school in Altachullin near Barney Reilly's. It was a thatched School with mud-walls. It was very uncomfortable. The present Altachullion School replaced it in the year 1890.
The old school in Altachullion belonged to the Government. The Government paid the Teachers. | 2019-04-25T12:57:53 | https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5044795/5038966 |
ARSENAL star Aaron Ramsey is set to sport a shocking new hairstyle at Euro 2016.
The midfielder shared a photo of him holding his son on Instagram but people missed the affectionate theme and concentrated on his outrageous new look instead.
The hairdo though seems to be here to stay, as he appeared the same way during Wales' training session in Cardiff.

Years after the end of her show, Mary Tyler Moore was confronted with tragedy when her brother John was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Mary Tyler Moore confessed in her autobiography that she made the choice to help “her terminally ill brother try to commit suicide by feeding him ice cream laced with a deadly overdose of drugs.” Moore expressed no regret for the attempt which ultimately failed; it’s a somber anecdote for a woman so typically joyful. Sadly, she had a further family tragedy when her only son died from an accidental self-inflicted gun shot wound in 1980. | 2019-04-19T06:45:53 | https://www.dailyamericanbuzz.com/2017/01/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-mary_76.html |

(Newser) – Who doesn't like a farmers market? Organic food, weird jams, and a sense of community have drawn shoppers nationwide for years. But a new study says the markets don't really fulfill their reputation of promoting a healthy diet—and definitely don't save people money, Pacific Standard reports. "There seems to be much enthusiasm for using farmers markets" to improve food quality in areas where healthy food is lacking, a team of researchers writes in the journal Appetite. "It is hard for us to share this enthusiasm." Their study of 26 farmers markets and 44 stores in Bronx County, NY, found that the markets offered 26.4 fewer items of fresh produce on average, fewer commonly-purchased foods, and more expensive items overall, even among regular produce.
Pretty much a crappy article... and here's why... 1) Nowhere does it mention that one of the main differences between organic and conventional food is pesticides, gmo's, antibiotics, growth hormones and dyes. 2) Yes... the food may cost more...You are supporting your local economy and local farmer. You know who is growing your food and can talk to your farmer about their cultivation practices. 3) There's crap where ever you go. Some farmer's Markets are better than others. You can always find "organic" junk/processed food anywhere. 3) By supporting your local farmer you are a FOOD ACTIVIST. You are directly taking yourself out of the gmo/big agra loop if you choose. 4) You have reduced your carbon foot print. Most farmers markets don't allow resellers and generally the produce/meat/dairy/baked goods/body goods has to be produced within a 100 miles. 5) Tennessee has the largest proliferation of farmers markets in the country. 6) Freshness and quality. We have several markets where the artisans are stellar. No comarision to conventional crap in the store. Where's the study? Let's see where the info is coming from.
I would say that it really depends on where you live. In the greater Seattle area, there are MANY Farmer's Markets...usually each neighborhood has one...and the produce you get from them is FAR superior to the imported junk the supermarkets carry! I don't shop at them nearly enough...but when I do, I am always rewarded by FRESH produce that tastes FAR better than the container ship delivered crud you find at Safeway!
Honestly, this is anecdotal at best. I do most of my shopping at our local Farmers market and the prices are lower. I pay 2.99 for a head of Romaine lettuce at Publix or get a bigger, fresher one at the Market for 1.49. There is a bigger variety of produce (especially fruits) than the big chain grocers. It really depends on where you live. To be more accurate the study should have a broader scope of areas. | 2019-04-22T23:08:36 | https://www.newser.com/story/203540/why-farmers-markets-arent-that-great.html?utm_source=part&utm_medium=foxnews&utm_campaign=rss_health_rel |

By working hard in many industries, we bring a fresh perspective and innovative creativity to all our clients. Our specialty is eclectic knowledge and innovative applications. Cross-fertilization in the world of marketing, from industry to industry, gives us an advantage in meeting the changing needs of our clients in today’s highly competitive environment. It’s amazing how similar different industries are in their business challenges. You just need to know how to translate, and how to listen.
Our best work always goes to our best clients, so we limit the number of clients and accept only those that best match our systems of involvement and energy. Our clients generally give us ample lead times, complete creative freedom and accept the premise that we will sometimes push the envelope.
A truly creative advertising agency always looks at things from the client’s customers’ point of view. It is an important lesson that a great advertising agency does not actually create for its clients. A great advertising agency creates only for those who buy the client’s products and services.
Customer retention is always the first order of our marketing programs. Without that, no advertising initiative can really be successful.
We believe in continuously developing and carefully protecting our client’s brand. Surprising creativity should be a consistent part of every component of the overall strategy. Without creative vitality, the brand becomes lifeless.
We are partners with our clients, always putting their interests first. Our media and vendor relations are some of the most valuable services we perform for our clients. Our personnel and associate firm relationships are stable and highly efficient. Our pricing is very competitive and set for value to our clients, not to the profit of the agency.
Our only desire is to do more for our clients, to have them use all of our services more fully, and to be of greater service in implementing their strategic mission. | 2019-04-26T14:47:00 | https://legendinc.com/the-way-we-are/ |
As a young knitter I walked into my first local yarn shop where the owner sat me down and showed me how to knit. I was well on my way when I left and have never looked back. From working with a designer of Knit Fur to opening up my own shop the experience has been like a dream. I want to create that experience for other knitters no matter the age.
Here at Janknit's Studio you are always welcome to come in and get some help.
Since 2007 JanKnit's Studio has grown and with it came the introduction to Husqvarna Viking sewing machines. As a teacher at Durham College I would work with new sewers, teaching them the fundamentals of sewing. It is here you can test out a new sewing machine or simply bring in your old one for repair. Our service tech will work on most brands and models.
With all my life experiences and the knowledge I have picked up along the way, let me share this with you. Next time you need or want a new project come in to JanKnit's Studio and let me help you get started. No worries if the project is too difficult, you will always be able to get the help and guidance you need to be successful in completing it. This is my pledge! | 2019-04-24T09:55:59 | http://www.janknitsstudio.com/about.html |
Always passionate about creating, I followed my heart to art school at the early age of 16. Five years later I graduated with distinction, a Bachelor of Fine Arts. As a sculpture major, finding regular work upon completing my degree was somewhat complicated! I found work in childcare, and began looking at childrens’ books in my spare time. With such strong happy memories of being read to as a child leading to a passion for literature, I began to take great pleasure in reading good picture books to young children. Soon, visiting book stores began to overtake my desire to visit galleries, and it wasn’t long before I found myself drawing pictures of people and animals whenever I was out and about – photographing and drawing a myriad of details in the world around me. Stories grew, and I began to write and illustrate my own material.
Books can bring such joy. From the sharing of a story between an adult and a child, to getting lost in one all by yourself. I love the play between words and pictures. The way words plant a seed which is brought to life by the visual tale. The more I have found pleasure in reading good childrens’ books, the stronger my desire to be a part of making them has become.
I was offered my first picture book contract, Finding Monkey Moon, (written by Elizabeth Pulford), the same day that I found out I was pregnant with twins! The following few years were a blur of babies and paint brushes.
My girls are now 3 years old, and it was a magical day that we opened the parcel containing the completed hardcover book. Snuggled together on the couch, I shared the story with them for the first time. Watching their faces as they were held in suspense, then their relief as the story resolved gave me such joy.
It is wonderful to have the opportunity to contribute to an industry that brings so much light to the lives of both children and adults. | 2019-04-20T20:32:19 | https://katewilkinson.net/about-me/ |

Didn’t know she had written this, I read her The Maid and the Queen – A Secret History of Joan of Arc this year, it was a fascinating topic although I did find the writing slow going. My review here if you are interested.
Thanks Claire! I have been curious about The Maid and Queen, and I enjoyed reading your review. Just read the Phillipa Gregory fiction take on Jacquetta and Joan of Arc and Melusine myth–TheLady of the Rivers.

Join the Space Race & Help Build a Concept Engine!
We have started a crowdfunding campaign in order to build our very first concept engine the Goldfinch 3, please take a look and take a look at some of the rewards for contribution!
Before we start building the launch vehicles (rockets) and taking astronauts, satellites plus a whole host of other things into space; we need to develop an engine that will accomplish all this.
We need your help to make the first concept engine!
Keep following us to find out exactly what makes it so special as we will update the crowdfunding page regularly.
We have a solid development team with plenty of experience behind us, everyone from Aerospace experts to Formula 1 materials specialists. We are going to build this concept engine at the historic Westcott Venture Park – this is the place much of the UK’s space rocket development and testing has taken place and we want to continue where they left off. There are people there who worked on our earliest rocket engines and their knowledge is essential to helping us design and build this engine.
We already have a team in place ready to start development as soon as the funds are in. With everything that the UK is going through right now, we need to show the world we can still compete.
Why develop a new engine?
Many different fuel combinations have been used over the years: some have been relatively simple and some highly complex and expensive. What Black Arrow has done is to analyse the cheapest way of getting sufficient levels of thrust, without overcomplicating our system designs. So, the selected combination is not the most powerful, but it is a less complex, safer and more cost-effective way of meeting our operational targets.
What fuels are to be used and why?
Liquid Oxygen (LOx) is a cheap, well-known and readily available oxidiser and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a relatively new fuel becoming more popular in many sectors. Both are cryogenic in nature and are therefore, perfectly suited, with many similarities in handling and logistics aspects.
The Proof of Concept engine will be a simple setup, with inlet valves, an injector plate, a chamber and a nozzle, like other liquid engines, and, from the outside will look like a tube. The cryogenic propellants cause frost to appear on feed lines from tanks. The plume, however, will appear as other engines.
How will it aid Black Arrow?
The Proof of Concept engine will be the first step to understanding the design approach and defining the materials required for the flight engines. It will help us create models to predict performance and enable us to model the effects of the engines’ performance on our systems. This engine may well have a commercial application too, so it’s not just a test-bed.
The design of the injector and chamber/nozzle assembly, then the inlet valves and other chamber equipment. In the meantime, we will select materials and locate suppliers for all external items. Once the design is complete, we’ll manufacture parts and perform bench tests to ensure designs are sound before introducing fuels.
The solid engines on a highly successful UK launch vehicle, Skylark, were called Goldfinch and numbered up to 2C, before the final launch in 2005. The engines were tested at Westcott. John Goldfinch was a fervent supporter of Black Arrow and also a member of the launch team in the 60’s and 70’s, was a past colleague of the MD, and the engine name is re-kindled in his memory, with kind permission of his family. | 2019-04-19T20:22:53 | https://blackarrow-space.uk/join-the-space-race-help-build-a-concept-engine/ |
Current research using towed video in combination with multi-beam acoustic mapping provided by collaborators, has produced new insights into the near-shore environments of the northwest, especially the rich sponge gardens in the Ningaloo Marine Park and the highly diverse and complex fringing coral reefs of the Kimberley coast. This research is in its discovery phase and is bring recognition to the globally significant diversity of benthic marine habitats in the northwest and Timor Sea.
My initial research into the population dynamics of Australian reef-building corals, commenced in the early 1980s on the Great Barrier Reef and extended quickly to Japan, Micronesia and Hawaii. The focus on reproduction lead to a four year period studying advanced reproductive technologies as a QEII Fellow at Adelaide University's School of Medicine and SA Fisheries, prior to joining the AIMS in late 1994. As the Officer-in-Charge and senior scientist responsible for establishing AIMS' new laboratory in NW Australia, I facilitated or directly participated in very significant levels of multi-disciplinary marine research conducted by the Institute in all areas of tropical Western Australia. Recent research has extended the use of towed video, observation class ROV, AUV and high resolution still cameras to areas of North West Australia that are not routinely surveyed by scientific divers.

Winter is so close that thoughts turn indoors with an expectation of great movies that come out before the year end. While at the Toronto International Film Festival there were some thrilling new finds that I hope will come to our fair city. Keep an eye peeled for Atom Egoyan’s latest, Remember, featuring Christopher Plummer. Egoyan is back on his game with this suspenseful Hitchcockian thriller.
Speaking of Hitchcock, a new doc directed by Kent Jones, Hitchcock/Truffaut is a brilliant look at the week-long interview that Truffaut conducted with the master after he realized, quite wrongly, Hitch was considered an entertaining director rather than the key influencer he was. Footage with current indie darlings like Wes Anderson, David Fincher and Richard Linklater, along with an almost unrecognizable Paul Schrader makes for a relevant film. Final choice from TIFF is The Lobster, a polarizing film that, at the very least, will stand you on your head. | 2019-04-22T16:20:26 | https://www.mondaymag.com/entertainment/independent-films-kathy-kay-25/ |

In a first for a UK train company, London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has introduced sunflower lanyards for passengers who may need additional assistance at stations or during their journeys.
The device is becoming the established symbol of hidden disabilities in the UK with LNER bringing it in to let staff know discreetly if customers have conditions such as autism, dementia or a visual impairment so help if needed can be offered more quickly.
The move follows the successful introduction of the lanyards, which have been endorsed by hidden disability charities, at several major UK airports and supermarkets.
LNER is taking the scheme a step further by creating volunteer and specially-trained Sunflower Ambassadors along its 936mi route between London, Yorkshire, North East England and Scotland..
Head of customer experience Amber Robinson said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for people to travel with us and offer help if needed for those with hidden disabilities for whom public transport can understandably be an unnerving experience.
To book, check availability and rates for LNER, please contact a Traveleads Consultant. | 2019-04-18T11:31:02 | https://www.traveleads.co.uk/news/sunflower-assistance-at-lner/ |
Fun platformer focused on speed runs. You'll die a lot, but that's okay. It just helps you get better and faster. Music and art style are great too.
A+ Flying Turtle. this game is beautiful to look at and can be quite challenging to play at times. i really enjoy the atmosphere and setting. well worth your $7.00.
This game is like if Super Meat Boy, Limbo, and VVVVV entered a polygamist marriage, got busy with each other, then gave birth to a harlequin baby. On the serious side, the controls are floaty and not tight enough. Hit detection can be rather questionable at times and this is the type of game that needs tight controls. Other than that, I just find it dull and unoriginal. There are plenty of games that do all this stuff better.
Review title of ChrisA+ buy it now!
great game, great music, great art - cant go wrong buying this game!
This game is a beautiful, polished piece of art and is just full of unique gameplay and atmosphere. Its easy to pick up and learn, but the difficulty. ramps up quickly. My only real complaint is the unforgiving nature of the "Cave" rail style levels. In these stages, Bast is in perpetual running at high speeds, your objective being to dodge all obstacles and spikes. The levels in question can be a real nightmare, and it got to the point where I simply dreaded them. Aside from that, I enjoyed everything else, from the creative stages and environment, to the fluid motion of Bast, to the visuals and composition. Well done, Flying Turtle.
Review title of NickReally Tough but Fun!
Starts off easy, but gets hard pretty fast. Really fun and challenging.
Beautiful game ruined by an eye straining and abysmal frame rate. How sad. | 2019-04-26T02:39:45 | https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/a-walk-in-the-dark/9p1vgzdd6m16 |

MPS applies brief, concentrated DC microcurrent to specific treatment points (acupuncture & trigger) for the purpose of relaxing muscles, calming the nervous system and releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. The Dolphin MPS device is engineered to detect and treat these active points with great scientific precision & potency, providing stimulation of all three systems at once — nervous, muscular and endocrine. Designed for the novice pain therapist or layperson in mind, there is no prior knowledge of acupuncture or neural anatomy required to apply the Dolphin MPS device. (However, introductory & advanced seminars are available for those who wish to master this potent therapy).
The power of integrating all these healing techniques into one simple protocol means MPS can produce far superior outcomes over traditionally pain therapies (often in a fraction of treatment time), and it can be clinically integrated by any therapist or applied by most suffering patients without formal training. All this without drugs, adverse side effects, pads or gels. No wonder the MPS Method is now the first choice for the treatment of chronic pain by over 40,000 therapists and hundreds of hospitals worldwide.
MPS has been a remarkable success in the fight against chronic pain. The results are so impressive using this approach that complete or substantial relief (60-70%+) from pain may often occur in the first or second treatment. Most patients require 2-10 treatments for lasting outcomes, with some chronic patients requiring ongoing maintenance treatments. MPS protocols may be quickly individualized to any patient’s needs and applied non-invasively within 5-20 minutes. MPS stimulation is significantly more effective than any other therapies offered on the marketplace, decreasing pain by over an average of 80% on patients.
MPS protocols bridge many different treatment philosophies to provide therapeutic responses where other modalities fail to achieve successful or lasting results. Because the MPS Method is effective in the diagnostic/assessment of root causes of pain, MPS can serve as an invaluable tool to all health professionals in their efforts to substantiate current treatment regime and as an integrative pain tool for superior patient outcomes.
Since its development, MPS Therapy has been taught to over 30,000 Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Physicians and other allied health professionals. Hundreds of thousands of patients have been treated with impressive outcomes, sometimes gained in just one session. MPS Therapy courses ranging from Introductory to Advanced and are taught throughout the year in the United States, Canada and around the world by a team of dedicated, friendly, and highly skilled practitioners. | 2019-04-26T12:22:11 | https://www.queenofscars.com/mps-therapy-integrative-pain-management-techniques/ |
The skies above Stratford cleared just in time for about 130 youngsters to make their mad dash for Easter Egg glory on Saturday morning at the Stratford Elementary School. Thankfully, the rain staged a much-need respite after days of dark skies and intermittent rains – just in time for the third annual Kings Lions Stratford Easter Egg Hunt to continue.
Lions members tossed out about 6,000 eggs as the throng of youngsters, ages 1-12 waited eagerly for the signal to begin their Easter Egg hunt.
There were hot dogs and fruit courtesy of the Kings Lions, free buckets to store the much-desired eggs and prizes galore. The Lions were intent on making sure each child had a good time – and earned some a gift. | 2019-04-24T06:12:14 | http://www.mylemooreleader.com/147994 |

When Lake Barkley reaches winter pool each fall, the remains of Old Kuttawa, Kentucky emerge. A thriving town of several hundred in the early part of the 20th century, a good part of the old city is now buried under the waters of Lake Barkley.
Old Kuttawa called the Cumberland River its home, fixed on its northern shores. Founded right after the Civil War in 1866 by Ohio Governor Charles Anderson, who served a short five-month term as the head of the state, the origin of the town’s name is disputed.
Some suggest the town’s name came from a Cherokee village that once thrived near the site. The name could be translated as “beautiful” or “city in the woods” using different languages. No one really knows for sure.
Kuttawa became incorporated and recognized by the state in 1872. A post office began serving the community on September 20th of that year.
Located on the Cumberland River, the threat of flooding plagued Kuttawa throughout its history. The most devastating flood came in 1937, which put most of the city under water. The infamous 1937 flood affected many parts of the southeastern United States, including Paducah, Eddyville, Calvert City and other towns all along the four rivers in our region.
The flood peaked on January 26, 1937 with the Eddyville river gauge reading 76.9 feet. At this stage, the flood waters exceed the levels of present-day Lake Barkley.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a new deal program established in the 1930s by President Franklin Roosevelt, began a series of dams along the Tennessee River to manage flood control and provide electricity to the mid-south. Kentucky Dam was the last of these dams to be built on the Tennessee River, having been completed in 1944.
Kentucky Dam’s close location to the Cumberland River and the cities of Kuttawa and Eddyville sparked rumors that a dam was coming to their river. Sure enough, in the 1950s, residents received word they would have to relocate most of their town to higher ground. Barkley Dam was coming.
Most of the town moved to its present-day site. Buildings and homes were tore down or relocated where the new lake’s waters would permanently inundate. US 62 and the Illinois Central Railroad had to be rerouted to the north. Many people’s lives were affected by this move. It’s hard to imagine someone knocking on your door, telling you to move because your home and land would be permanently under water. But this was the reality of several hundred residents of Kuttawa, and even more in nearby Eddyville.
Each fall and winter, unless the weather is wet and Lake Barkley is above normal, you can visit the remains of the old city of Kuttawa. The most visible and prominent remains are located along the breaker wall extending east from the Kuttawa park.
As you walk along the breaker wall, you’ll notice on the north side the remains of US 62. Parts of the pavement are still intact, even after 50-plus years of wear from the water. On the south side you’ll see numerous concrete foundations, old brick paths, telephone pole stumps, railroad spikes, pipes and more. The railroad was located either under or just south of the breaker wall. At the end of the breaker wall, you’ll see a 180-foot-long bridge that carried US 62 across Knob and Hammond Creek.
Further up Knob Creek, just north of Interstate 24, lies a shallow bay once home to Kentucky 93 and two other state roads. These roads wyed off two different times from KY 93. The first being KY 295 and the other being KY 373. All these had to be relocated, but they still exist and are visible at winter pool. We even drove our truck on one of the roads as we explored this area.
All of this is under water during the summer pool stage of Lake Barkley, which is elevation 359’. If you want to see all this for yourself, check Lake Barkley’s stage first. It will need to be below about 354.5’ before Old Kuttawa becomes visible.
Railroad spikes can be found along the breaker wall. Leave them so others can experience the find!
Exploring old Kuttawa is a fun activity for kids. They can get a taste of exploring “lost cities” and a taste of archaeology, even though the remains aren’t all that old. It’s a fun activity the whole family can enjoy, not to mention getting outside and away from screens!
The part of old Kuttawa that survived still thrives today. There are numerous, well-kept homes and bed and breakfasts that line Lake Barkley Drive in the old town. It is picturesque and beautiful. The residents along Lake Barkley Drive take pride in their homes and businesses. Kuttawa Harbor, where most of old Kuttawa once thrived, is busy with a large marina, store and restaurant.
Check out the old Kuttawa area, especially during winter pool months. To those who love local history, you’ll be glad you did.
The road forks! Compare this photo with the map below to find where this is located. It is old KY 95, usually under Lake Barkley. | 2019-04-21T15:13:35 | https://www.fourriversexplorer.com/exploring-ruins-old-kuttawa/ |

Sir is the fourth guardian of the Baudelaire orphans and the owner of the Lucky Smells Lumbermill in Paltryville. He appears in The Miserable Mill.
Sir's "partner" and heavily implied lover is Charles, whose duties involve ironing Sir's shirts, cooking him omelettes, and making him milkshakes.
Sir is the dominant one in his relationship with Charles. He often acts mean to Charles, including handwaving Charles's concerns and raising his voice at him. However, despite their unhealthy relationship, it is implied that Sir is not entirely evil and that he cares about Charles to some degree, which is why Charles stays around. Charles hopes he can change Sir, as he sees that little bit of kindness in Sir. It is implied that Lemony Snicket has the opinion that Sir is not worthy of Charles' love. It is left a mystery if their relationship worked out in the end.
He is the type of person who thinks that raising his voice and saying "my word is final, this argument is over" means he "wins" an argument, as if he is the ultimate authority. Because of Charles submissive personality, Sir's behavior in debates works.
Sir is also greedy. He does not care much about the welfare and horrid living conditions of his employees.
Sir is the owner of the Lucky Smells Lumbermill, located in Paltryville. Sir's real name is unknown. It is extremely difficult to pronounce, as evidenced by Mr. Poe's attempts early in the book. Equally obscure is Sir's appearance, his entire head is hidden by a thick layer of smoke from his ever-burning cigar.
He shows little concern for either the Baudelaire orphans or his employees, whom he pays in coupons and provides an unsatisfying meal of chewing gum for lunch and disgusting casseroles for dinner. The possible reason he is so mean and greedy is that, according to Charles, he had a very terrible childhood.
It is possible he is a member of V.F.D. (probably the fire starting side).
In the book, it is left ambiguous that he may have conspired with Georgina Orwell. In the TV series, it is revealed they did conspire as he gets free labor and they split the profits, however, Sir simply thinks that Orwell simply does "weekly eye exams to boost worker morale" instead of hypnotism.
In the end of The Miserable Mill, he fires the Baudelaires, claiming that they were too much trouble and that wherever the Baudelaires go, misfortune follows, and he will have no more of it. Charles objected to Sir's decision.
In the TV series adaptation, a worker's revolt causes Sir to flee instead of stay at the lumbermill.
He later appears in The Penultimate Peril as a guest at Hotel Denouement. A disguised Klaus takes him and Charles to the sauna. While Charles tells Sir that he wants to apologize to the Baudelaires for what happened at the mill, they both talk about a cocktail party held by someone named J.S. In addition, Sir stated that wood from his lumbermill helped to build the Hotel Denouement. Frank Denouement or Ernest Denouement comes in telling the two of them that they have to clear the sauna. When Sir stated his love for burning wood, Frank or Ernest asks a passing chemist (who was actually Colette in disguise) to take them to Room 547 where Organic Chemistry is.
After being among those awoken by the death of Dewey Denouement, Sir remembered the Baudelairs after they were identified by Geraldine Julienne and claimed that the Baudelaires caused accidents at the Lucky Smells Lumbermill while Charles stated to him that Count Olaf was responsible for those accidents.
During the trial of the Baudelaire children and Count Olaf, Sir submitted the employment records as evidence.
When the Hotel Denouement Fire was started, Sir and Charles were holding hands in order to not lose each other as they argue on if fires are good for the lumber business or not. It is unknown if Sir and Charles survived, or if they died together as partners until the end.
In The Penultimate Peril, they share a room when they travel together to the Hotel Denoument, share a relaxing sauna together there, and when the hotel is set on fire, they are holding hands as they attempt to escape.
In The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket tells Beatrice Baudelaire that he will love her until "C realizes that S is not worthy of his love," confirming suspicions of the relationship.
They are mentioned to be partners—the lack of mention of them being business partners is unusual, and suggests they may be romantic partners.
The TV series adaptation made this relationship more explicit.
Klaus: Doesn't "partner" mean "equal"?
Sir: I do all the work. He irons my clothes.
Charles: I also cook your omelette.
Lemony Snicket: The definitions are not mutually exclusive.
It refers to their partnership as one made possible by a more progressive culture and high court decisions, a reference to real-life cases such as Obergefell v. Hodges, or perhaps Lawrence v. Texas.
At one point, while Violet is snooping around the library, she eavesdrops on Sir and Charles. Charles attempts to kiss Sir but Sir does not notice.
At the end of Episode 8, Violet asks what Charles plans on doing next. Charles responds that he plans on searching for Sir even though he's not a good person. He tells the Baudelaires, "Some day you will learn that some things aren't always black and white."
He is portrayed by Don Johnson in the TV series.
"It wasn't a mistake. I don't make mistakes, Charles. I'm not an idiot."
Charles: "Oh, sir. You can't be serious. A lumbermill is no place for small children to work."
Sir: "Of course it is. It will teach them responsibility. It will teach them the value of work. And it will teach them how to make flat wooden boards out of trees."
Charles: "Now, Sir. These are children. You shouldn't talk to them this way. As you remember, I never thought it was a good idea for the Baudelaires to work in the mill. They should be treated like members of the family."
Sir: "They are being treated like members of the family. Many of my cousins live there in the dormitory. I refuse to argue with you, Charles! You're my partner! Your job is to iron my shirts and cook my omelettes, not boss me around!"
"Now THAT is the part of the story that is so unbelievable that I don't believe it. I met this young woman, and she isn't at all like Count Olaf! She has one eyebrow instead of two, that's true, but plenty of wonderful people have that characteristic!"
Many years before the TV series came out, there was a lot of speculation on Sir's and Charles' relationship. Many people did not believe they were a couple, thinking that Daniel Handler would not insert gay characters into his stories, especially those which young readers would read.
Sir wrote the book The History of Lucky Smells Lumbermill and donated it to the library. In the TV series, the table of contents is shown and the final chapter is titled "Sir a Legend in the Making".
In Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, it was one of the books Kit Snicket (as Ms. K) tried to make her students read at Prufrock Preparatory School. As Kit tried to read V.F.D. material to her students, this supports a possible connection with Sir to V.F.D.
A character with similar traits to Sir, Smogface Wiley, appears in File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents. Smogface Wiley smokes cigarillos and collects silver spoons, each engraved with a different letter of the alphabet. In the TV series, an excerpt from his book says that Sir smokes cigarillos and uses a silver spoon to eat alphabet soup.
↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 These were the attempts of Mr. Poe to pronounce the name of Sir as it was written down on paper. | 2019-04-25T08:30:50 | https://snicket.fandom.com/wiki/Sir |
Valentine's Day is next week so you may want to get working on that perfect gift.
Oh Valentine's Day. It's a day of love that is celebrated at any age. I still remember over-analyzing the tiny, paper Valentine that my elementary school crush gave me. I mean, everyone gave Valentine's to everyone in the class, but he decided to give me the Valentine with a skateboarder on it that said "You're RAD!" The love of my 11-year life thought I was RAD! Could there be anything sweeter in this world?
It was in that moment I should have realized that women are way more into Valentine's Day then men.
I know this isn't the case for every relationship, but I've definitely experienced it in mine over the years. Pretty much every guy I have dated made it clear that this "Hallmark Holiday" is not his cup of tea. It took me a minute to be OK with that, but now I am. In all honesty, it's taken a lot of the pressure off of my marriage.
That being said, if your man has similar thoughts toward February 14 be prepared to give and not receive. If you can do that, then you're golden. Now the question is what to get your man for Valentine's Day? My advice is to keep it simple and practical. Find a gift that fits easily into his life/routine or even something that he wouldn't buy/do for himself.
If you're completely lost on what to get, use a site that takes the guess work out of gift giving. Surprisily.com creates surprise gift boxes for you. Just answer a few questions about the recipient and select how much you want to spend. They'll create a box and ship it. It's easy and they don't tell you what they're packing either so it's a fun surprise for both of you. | 2019-04-22T08:23:27 | https://kkyr.com/one-thing-to-remember-before-buying-your-man-a-valentines-gift/ |
The perfect picnic pasta! This 5 Ingredient Summer Pesto Pasta is packed with chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes and covered in tasty pesto sauce.
I grew up on this pesto pasta and my Mama’s Enchiladas. These recipes were my mother’s go-to recipes and I still make them all the time for my husband. I used to bring this 5 Ingredient Summer Pesto Pasta as my lunch in grade school and the cool girls would beg me to give them bites! That’s right, this pasta is so delicious it got the cool kids to talk to me. That’s a miracle pasta right there. And to make it even better, it’s only takes 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes to whip up!
My mother was/is the queen of simple and delicious meals that are easy on the wallet. I have nicknamed this pasta my Costco Pasta because I pick up 3 of the 5 ingredients at Costco. I grab a rotisserie chicken, a container of cherry tomatoes and a jar of pesto when I’m there! If you haven’t tried the pesto from Costco you are missing out! It’s a big bottle for the price you’ll pay for a tiny one at the grocery store and it’s really good! I’ll have a little left over after I make this 5 Ingredient Summer Pesto Pasta but I’ll use it on a panini to make my grilled cheese suuuuper fancy. Or I’ll use it when I roast veggies later in the week. Either way, Costco comes to the rescue with this easy dinner recipe!
I call this a summer pasta, but I make it all year round. So don’t shy away from making this in the winter months! It’s too easy and tasty to only eat during the summer months!
I mention in the recipe that we usually eat this pasta cold. Yes, sometimes as a kid we would eat it right after my mother would make it but more often she made it in the middle of the day when she had time or even the day before. It’s such a great cold pasta and it makes a perfect Summer Pasta recipe! It’s mayo-free so it won’t spoil in the sun and if you bring it chilled, it helps to keep your guests cool on these hot days.
Enjoy my Mom’s 5 Ingredient Summer Pesto Pasta!
1) Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. Drain water, add pesto sauce, stir to combine.
2) Add chicken, tomatoes and cucumber and stir well. Serve and enjoy!
NOTE: We usually eat this salad cooled or chilled because my Mom would make it the night before or the morning of. But it does taste great served warm as well!
Quick and easy recipes always a bonus on busy days. Actually just made a double batch of fresh pesto with some lovely Italian basil I purchased at one of our local farms as I like to keep a supply of pesto in the freezer for the winter months. We’ve only tried jarred pesto once but found the taste off putting not to mention an unattractive green colour. Mind you, Kirkland products are well known as reliable and tasty so their jarred pesto could change our minds.
Have to say two cups of pesto seems like an awful lot for a pasta salad. Would cut that back when making as even though we love pesto, it can be pretty over powering in large amounts.
I agree, Joycelyn – 2 cups seems overpowering. And good for you making pesto from scratch…I started growing, preparing & freezing mine also, 18 years ago, and it runs circles around any jarred product I’ve tried (and I’ve tried them all.
If I had room for a garden I would grow tons of basil and be making homemade pesto all the time!
You can of course adjust the amount of pesto to your liking! I LOVE homemade pesto it’s so much fun to make and eat. I don’t like any other store bought pesto other Costco, the others DO have a weird taste!
Lizzy, Speaking of weird tasting herbal recipes, nothing beats this one … the restaurant-made ‘mint sauce’ I once received to accompany my order of roast lamb. It was really chopped cooked spinach with mint extract & vinegar. My friend, a chef, agreed it was the weirdest food fakeout.
Houston, we have a problem! The recipe is not showing up anywhere on this post! | 2019-04-19T22:44:27 | https://www.yourcupofcake.com/2018/06/5-ingredient-summer-pesto-pasta-aka-costco-pasta.html |
Great script Rainer – please let me add my thanks to you for creating it. It works great for me with one exception. I cannot get the shortcut (Ctrl O) to work with the latest version. Anybody else having this issue?
I download, pasted the latest script (take 8) and put it in the right place/folder. From Outlook, I can go as far as getting the pop-up omnifocus box (with subject and all) but when I click save, it doesn’t do anything, and when i check OF it doesnt get into the inbox either….cud u pls help me? Shud I configure something on my OF?
Simply renaming the file to remove the -1 fixed the problem for me.
Rainer, thanks again for putting this out there.
Paul, many thanks for your reply! That did the trick. I appreciate you sending that tip along.
Rainer, thanks for the script!
There is a problem with cyrillic letters – they get all messed up in omnifocus. They look like the code of a binary file viewed through edit.com back in good ol’DOS times.
I am new to apple and I tried to figure out where in your script the recoding happens, but this can take a while.
Rainer, I found the solution!!
@andrew thats awesome. Will post an updated version in the next few days. Thanks a lot for figuring this out and helping all users!
After upgrading Office 2011 with the latest update (14.2.0), I had to reinstall v11 of the script. | 2019-04-18T20:31:48 | http://rainer.4950.net/2012/02/04/outlook-to-omnifocus-take-8/ |

This home was built for F.S. Thompson, a member of the Minneapolis Real Estate Board, in 1902.
Like the St. Jane House at 1403 Emerson, this building is owned by the Visitation Monastery of Minneapolis. This urban monastery is a unique expression of monasticism and is part of the worldwide Order of the Visitation Sisters of Holy Mary, founded by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal in Annecy, France in 1610. Their mission includes living among the marginalized of society, and those with few economic resources.
This two-and-a-half-story frame vernacular residence has Georgian and Neoclassical influences. The low-pitched, hipped roof has hipped dormers, and widely-overhanging eaves. The main portion of the house still retains modillions (brackets) under the eaves of the second floor.
Note the elaborate detail in and around the central window on the second floor. The window is surrounded by engaged Ionic columns carrying a sizable entablature,which supports the articulated, curved arch. The dormer above and and the house corners are also embellished with Ionic pilasters.
Alterations include synthetic siding and replacement windows.
As you walk east on 16th Street, note the yellow carriage house in the alley on the north side of the street. This beautiful example of compatible architecture was added by the current owners of 1607 Fremont, which is the next stop on the tour.

Opening up about their real motivations for exercising can strengthen participants’ commitment to working out, as well as to you and your facility, writes instructor Mel Morony.
One of the participants, Jana, does as she is told but also rolls her eyes. Her weekend didn’t involve cake or wine. Instead she went bike riding with a big group, tackling terrains, weather and even inclines that never feature in her indoor cycling class. The class she is participating in first thing Monday morning is her recovery. She’s never dared to tell the instructor this, however, so she just keeps powering on.
As instructors, it is very easy for us to perceive our class as a sea of faces. Since these people have all come to our class we can fall into the trap of assuming that they are all there for the same reason. Yet as the story above – taken from a conversation I had years ago with a patron (name changed) – illustrates, the reasons participants attend classes are many and varied.
In the first part of this article (Building rapport to keep ‘em coming back) we looked at rapport building from the perspective of how the bonds of community formed between the instructor and new patrons (and also between the patrons themselves) could impact a fitness facility’s member retention. In this article we’ll look at how we can build rapport with our long-term members, not just so that they will stay, but so that they can express their true reasons for exercising.
As fitness professionals, it should be a no-brainer that very few people exercise for the love of it. Some do, but most don’t. However, despite how it may seem, neither are they motivated to participate in an exercise program because they want results such as weight loss, sports conditioning, stress relief or increased energy. As Sigmund Freud noted (and Aristotle hinted at a couple of millenia ago), ‘All human behaviour is motivated by one thing – to avoid/ move away from pain and move toward pleasure.’ Hence, there will be goals and motivations that underpin someone’s training for those results. Consider two patrons who have decided that they want to lose weight via an exercise program. One might want it because they want to look good for an upcoming holiday; the other might want it because their doctor has informed them that they are pre-diabetic and they want to change that prognosis.
However, when it comes to talking about what motivates us, we humans can be a bit reserved. Depending on what the motivation is, we often need to get to know and trust someone, and for them to get to know us, before we open up and ‘spill’ the true reason behind our actions. So, how can group fitness instructors help our patrons do this?
The first part of this article explored three tactics that can be effective for establishing rapport between ourselves and a new patron; creating a welcoming environment; learning and using names; and establishing some points of commonality. The last of these points is worth further exploration when it comes to reaching people on a deeper level.
As we get to know our participants, we notice trends in their topics of conversation. The ability to create some ‘same here’ moments can be very valuable.
For example, when I first started teaching aqua fitness, I noticed that my patrons, who were predominantly older adults, would talk a lot to both myself and each other about gardening. At the time I wasn’t into gardening, but I decided to acquire some pots, gloves and seedlings and to give it a go. While I still can’t claim to have developed much of a green thumb, it has given me a talking point with my garden-loving patrons.
Naturally, our own personalities and interests are going to drive what we might pick up on, and for me that’s travel. When a participant tells me that they’re going to miss a class or two because they are going away, I ask them a couple of questions. Firstly, I’ll ask where they are going, and if it’s somewhere I’ve been to, or have researched visiting, then I have a ‘same here’ point. The second question is how long they are going away for. After wishing them safe travels, I will make a note in my calendar around the time they are due back. That way, I know when to look out for them and to greet them with, for example, ‘Welcome back Mary – how was Spain?’ As previously noted, as a society we have become so used to being treated as a number, that when a professional in our lives remembers a detail like that, it speaks volumes to us.
Along with travel, I have a love for linguistics. With Australia being such a melting pot of cultures, I’ve made it a goal to learn a few words of my non-Anglo-Australian participants’ languages, even if it’s just ‘Hi’ or ‘Bye’. The way peoples’ eyes light up when they hear their ‘mother tongue’ spoken to them can be unbelievable.
While the most obvious place to build rapport with participants is in the exercise studio, or in the area outside as we wait for a class to finish, limiting it to these areas will limit your opportunities to build engagement.
What’s to stop you, as you walk to the studio from other parts of the facility or the carpark, from engaging a member or two in conversation? Even if you only have time for a quick ‘How’s your week been?’ small talk can pave the way for ‘big talk’, so use it as an opportunity.
Consider joining your class for coffee, or if your centre ever puts on ‘member breakfasts’, join in! When I did this with an early morning cycle class a couple of years ago, I found it to be one of the most valuable opportunities for getting to know my members, and it became a highlight of my week. There were times when I didn’t really say much, but that didn’t stop me from listening to ‘my people’. Those that had taken my class would give me their feedback straight away and, in turn, I could explain the reason for the way certain things were done, or discuss any changes I’d made to class.
Another place ‘outside of the box’ that I will sometimes use for rapport building purposes is the pool after an aqua class. After noticing that a few participants would stay in the water after class had finished, I decided to bring some swim-wear and jump in after I’d packed up. I’ve found that it is in the aquatic environment that people are more likely to open up and discuss the ‘big things’ with me. Not being a psychologist, I can merely guess that this may be due to the combination of being wet and wearing only swimwear bringing peoples’ barriers down.
The more we talk to participants, the more comfortable they will feel talking to us – about the small things at first, but then, hopefully, the bigger things, like their real motivations for exercising. By verbalising this, they are acknowledging to both you and themselves the thing that is driving their behaviour, which can be a truly empowering experience.
Building rapport so that people will open up to us does have the potential to put an instructor into some sticky situations. As mentioned in the first part of this article, there’s the possibility of our participants telling us about aspects of their lives that would require us to refer them to somebody more qualified, such as a dietitian in the case of disclosure of a potential eating disorder. There is also the potential for us to have to refer a matter to the police, in the case of, for example, domestic violence.
Rapport building is an ongoing process. The more we can connect with participants, the higher the chance that we will retain them as members, and the greater the likelihood that they will have not only good, but great – referral worthy – experiences.
Mel Morony is a group fitness instructor based in Eastern Melbourne. She is passionate about raising standards in the area of group fitness, for both participants and instructors.

Make all the other Apple Pies Jealous with its pretty berry color and taste and sweet apples to bland the perfect pie.
This has become one of my favorite pies to make for the holidays. It’s a perfect balance of tart and sweet. makes me mad I didn’t have this pie until a couple of years ago. I need to make up for lost apple cranberry time.
The color is so pretty it will draw everyone to it. Your other Apple Pie may get a little jealous of all the attention it’s going to get.
2 cups frozen or fresh whole cranberries.

A mouth guard or mouthguard is a protective device worn around the teeth and gums to prevent injury. They are common in contact sports. Most mouth guards are only worn on the upper teeth, but some variations cover upper and lower teeth.
Ready Made - this type of mouth guard comes as-is and no adjustments are made to fit the user's mouth.
Boil-and-Bite - this type of mouth guard is heated with boiling water to soften it and then worn around the teeth to form a better fit. These are preferable to ready-made ones.
Custom Made - this type of mouth guard is custom made by a dentist or orthodontist to provide the best possible fit to the individual who will be wearing it. These are also more expensive than the other versions. | 2019-04-26T08:10:03 | https://viamchao.fandom.com/wiki/Mouth_guard |

Early on I sensed a frightening tension in our family. My dad who loved us all had difficulty with his temper. It created a fear in all of us especially my mom a quiet and compliant wife who never confronted any situation with my father. He had a serious emotional problem and living with him made all of us very anxious. Each night in bed I prayed for God to protect my family.
Unfortunately, I never felt as if he heard my prayers. Entering adulthood, I was always searching for God and his protection. I believed in Jesus but I never knew the many promises of God.
"Meeting the women of Oasis was truly an answer to my prayers."
As a married woman, a teacher by profession with two children and a granddaughter my life was filled with anxiety I had brought with me into maturity. I was physically ill, emotionally stressed and depressed with all the responsibilities and the negative outlook I had for my future. I was in a very dark place because I believed God had abandoned me in my disobedience not to live a life according to his word. I hit the great wall of despair. Then one afternoon four years ago a Christian acquaintance called. In her gentle manner she asked if I would consider attending a women’s bible study group called Oasis. Before her words were fully delivered I blurted out. “Yes, Yes!
That day changed my life forever. Meeting the women of Oasis was truly an answer to my prayers. They welcomed me with the unconditional love of Jesus. While learning the promises of God in our bible studies I realized my anxious feelings lied to me about who God was and who I was. I told myself you are lost, unlovable, unworthy, hopeless, weak, foolish, etc.
Through God’s word my life was saved from that dark place. Thankfully, I was renewed spiritually, emotionally and physically. Each day was an opportunity to express my gratitude for the blessings he gave me through Jesus. He guided my decisions and sustained me in my losses and sorrow. God was and is the great planner of my life. I want to live my days furthering the kingdom through him with my Oasis sisters. Praying for the wisdom to help girls and women who are searching like I was, broken, lonely, desperate to become whole, worthy, protected and saved through Jesus.
What leap of faith could God be calling you to take? Could the Lord be using you to invite a girlfriend to an Oasis gathering? Are you willing to be used by God? It could change her life! | 2019-04-23T01:53:43 | https://www.herlifespeaks.org/blog/how-did-i-get-here |

I contacted the site and they were very prompt in removing my image. But not before it has been passed along to yet another bunch of thieves.
Take out spaces and change dot to .
A russian site. Open in chrome so it auto translates for you.
C'mon these 3 clicks they get from here don't do diddly squat, but this is extremely annoying for anyone who actually wants to check the links out. Common sense plz.
Feel free not to check out the links then.
You will achieve 'ppl not checking them out' by posting this way. Short attention spans you know... Just post proper links plz, why is that so hard?
She has a point, by not giving the sites any extra back links. It takes less than 10 seconds, to sort the urls out for anyone who really wants to know if their images are there or not. Or u could just spend the 10 seconds saying oh come just give us the links etc.
Thanks cclapper. I will check the site.
And you are right about not posting an active link. That would only help them to get better placement in Google.
"If I don't like the way something is written or in this case the way a link is given, I would just move on to another thread."
You have not done anything that I have disliked enough or for me to be disinterested enough for me not to return to this thread. You have expressed your opinion on a subject which is a tangent of the main subject, on which I have a different opinion. Your points are not invalid, but I still think sites like these should not have quality backlinks (msg has a very high rank), no matter how little or how much the backlinks boost the sites in question and especially if that is the wish of the OP. Plus like you, I love a good debate.
Why did suggest that I should have just skipped the thread than? : ) On bakclinks: make them nofollow, issue over.
If something irritates you enough skipping a thread is always an option, instead of continually trying to change a decision that someone doesn't want to change. The OP has read the thread and is sticking to her decision, so yeah the issue is over.
This sounds like that accroding to you, some ppl should make a point, and others should just skip it, altho you admit they have a point : ) I see this, the same problem all the time: people fail at the most basic points of logic, even their own logic. Thats why I get bored with msg boards, most don't want arguments (the main function of boards like this) they just want to hear stuff they fancy : ) They don't even realize this while doing it: they hear something they dont like, they will start arguing that people shouldn't argue, what an oxymoron. Unless they grow up from this attitude, communicating with them is just useless, so I'm off, thx.
Much a do about nothing. Forums are the place for ranting though, so it's good that you've got it off your chest. But if an OP has made a decision to write a thread the way he or she wants to and explained their own reasoning for doing so, I'm more inclined to respect the wishes of the OP, as they are the ones who started the subject. If I don't like the way something is written or in this case the way a link is given, I would just move on to another thread.
edit: thanks for posting cclapper, i had a look earlier and my images weren't in either of those websites.
Glad none of yours are showing. I did recognize some of the nature shots, but not sure of the photographers, so not much I can do. It takes enough time just tracking down one's own stolen images.
Finally we're back on topic I must admit I seldom track my images, but I do look at the threads here when people post stuff they have found and I have a search for my own images too. Cheers again.
Ohh jesus, that single link wouldn't do f*** f*** so how about sparing both of those 10 secs? : ) The real annoyance is of course not the 20 secs, just how dumb this is, truly sorry for being rude but I just can't stand subject illtirate ppl wasting other's energy because they have an urge to play smartasses. This is the big problem with most you ppl, this nonsense attitude... picture this: you let your shot get downloaded a zillion times with hardly any controll, you intend to leave it like that for the next 1000 years, then you want to lessen all the sleuth surrounding it by putting spaces in the f-reaking url. This is just stooopid, sorry.
...and if you still can't get this out your head, just ask the admin to make links in comments nofollow. It's pretty much standard on most sites.
Illiteracy is a problem I agree.
I'm still stuck on "f*** f***" "'ppl" "smartasses" "f-reaking" "stooopid" "controll" "plz" and probably some more. I kow English and I don't know text talk or whatever that short code is called now. Part of being old is still using full real words most of the time.
However I do understand NoFollow and maybe we should ask if Leaf has it in the BB code here, in which case lthn makes an excellent point. All the spam posts and links to whatever or us posting a link to an image thief, have NO EFFECT on internet ranks, and doesn't help them. In which case we can post full links without worrying about giving them any benefits with trick dots or spaces. Plus one (.) and it's covered, we don't have to go to extremes to make it useless for the creeps and cretins of the world.
So Leaf? are these forums NoFollow?
Absolutely. The last time someone didn't believe this, I had him link from his fairly high traffic site to my low-ranking one. The boost was almost immediate. For the keyword in question, I rose from goodness knows where to position 9 of thousands, and was in the top 10 in Google for that word from then until I lost the domain name.
Thanks for the confirmations, everyone. It is as I suspected.
I will post links as I see fit. If no one wants to be bothered to check them out, and 5 seconds out of your day removing spaces is too much of a waste, then by all means don't bother.
I always appreciate it when others alert us to thieves, so I will continue to contribute, for those who care.
Where can I get some of that? I could use a boost from a high ranked site.
Oh wait, that's not the same as a link from a message board that doesn't send the data and the fact that Google is blocking some data to prevent people from boosting their rank by spamming message sites. I won't help anyone who might be reading this but there's one way they actually reduce the rank for multiple sites with links. Might seem strange but there is a protection to counteract spamming the ranks.
Last of all, many larger sites now nofollow smaller sites, so they don't help the competition.
For the other part, yes cc I'm not too cripple to add a dot here and there if I really want to see a site, keep up the police work. I don't really care either way. Just pointing out that it's not necessary. If it makes you happy, have fun.
Dear author, If they removed your image after your request, so what the problem? i reviewed that first website you were posted, and i think you are not right about posting such topics. Yes, they are allowing to download images, but they are pushing their watermark as security for illegal use of that images, and as they are writing in the bottom of page, this images were found in the internet, on free websites like "weni dot ru" as you mentioned, And yes, if you will explore for some time and look to images, the quality is not so good as your original image must be, so they are making a lot of work for supplying good security of original image.
Lol, just write them to write that you are the author of the image, and maybe you will get some permission requests which you will sell for some money be happy, its just a free advertisement for you. Don't make so stupid thinks to remove images from such places.
and this is one of the images found on wallpapersbuzz, but as you see, everywhere its without any security and possible for public download!!! so no one is doing anything to secure or supply any information about that image. So as you can understand, the site you were written about, just took that image too, because its free everywhere!!! so firstly write to that 100+ websites who is publishing that image, and only after that, you can write to wallpapersbuzz lol.. because its no point anyway.
I will never buy an image to use as my desktop background, but i will look for good image author to buy it for my book or story thumb. Sorry, i just registered to write that wallpapersbuzz is respecting the authors of images, you are no right if you removed your image from that place, but its up to you. Thank you for posting great website link.
One more thing.. why are you using Apple logo on your thumbnail ? Have you got permissions to use it such a way? LOL. who is talking about image stealing? do not be ridiculous with your cry.
Yes, You are absolutely right!. Backlinks are not giving such weight anymore. And its not the way to bust your site for a long time now. Search engines now have more brains than most of people have lol.
Linator, you must be from wallpapersbuzz dot com.
Thanks for pointing out that my image is everywhere for free. As if I didn't know that.
I don't really care if it's in 10 million places on the internet...it is STILL copyright infringement. And if I choose to send DMCA notices or requests for takedowns to each and every one of them, it's my business, not yours. If you have my image for download on your site, YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL and I am going to call you out on it.
And you'd better believe I am going to tell other contributors about it. Let me guess, you have had other people ask for their images to be removed, hence your new account here and postings?
Actually, I didn't steal the apple logo...it is a chrome image that was on a computer I used to own. Then I took my own photo reflected in the chrome. And I am using it for my own personal avatar, not copyright infringing by giving away someone else's work. I haven't stolen anything.
Please review the definitions and legalities of copyright infringement. Please read the Agreements on all five sites for which I sell my images. While you are at it, you might look up the definition of stealing.
After you have done that, let me know. Then we will talk about who is "ridiculous with their cry."
edit: another newbie who just joined today to try and convince us that it's ok to steal other people's images, because they are posted on the internet. As if it's not stealing if someone has done it before you.
And, as I mentioned earlier, I don't care if backlinks mean nothing. I will write websites' names who are stealing images anyway I choose. If you don't like it, don't read the thread!
I know from your posts that you are not very bright, but I will try to explain it to you anyway. If you steal something and are caught, you cannot then say "Oh I as I got caught I will return it so what's the problem"
Other people have already downloaded the files from the site, and they like you will use the excuse that they are available from lots of places on the internet (like your site) "so what's the problem".
The way these copies get out there isn't, as you seem to have convinced yourself, that we, for the most part, post large images unwatermarked version for free download. It is that someone initially steals them by using stolen credit cards on subscription plans, or by illegally posting them for download after a legitimate license purchase.
Trolls like you then start distributing them further, illegally, through sites like yours, knowing that it is very unlikely that you will get spotted by the copyright holder.
Unless you live under a stone you know as well as I do that 99.9% of decent professional quality images you can find on the internet are copyright protected.
This is the most important thing to do whenever you find stolen work online.
So important I am posting it here too!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – April 17, 2017 – GameChange Solar announced a significant development for project owners utilizing single axis trackers.
The GameChange Genius Tracker™ has essentially no wasted spaces along or between the trackers enabling this wasted space to instead be utilized for wider row spacing.
This results in higher kWh energy production.
The GameChange Genius Tracker™ increases system owner’s leveraged return on equity (“ROE”) UP TO 20% versus leading competitors.
Andrew Worden, CEO of GameChange Solar, stated: “Having run a private equity firm, and financed and built solar power plants prior to starting GameChange, I am keenly aware of the importance of return on equity for project owners.
The GameChange Genius tracker is an independently driven tracker system that eliminates the breaks between trackers required for central drive systems. In addition, on the Genius Tracker, the only break is one 17 inch space above the drive posts, so panel density is 99.5%. This is significantly higher than the 97% we see with another leading vendor’s independently driven tracker system as well as with central drive systems. | 2019-04-21T12:58:41 | https://gamechangesolar.com/news-gamechange-tracker-better-spacing.php |

Having your very own website could be a good thing. This is for the reason that it gives you the chance to show the whole world what your company could surely offer when it comes to products or services and can be simply the best way for your business to generate the additional streams of revenue on the autopilot. Certainly, you’ll increase the chances of your site by doing all of these things if you have a nice and a competent web design for your company.
1. Domain management- managing different domains you’re working with is essential for you to understand, even if they are domains for clients and not owned by you right after the development is complete. The setting up, login, FTP clients and even with other components involved with the privacy and accountability, control could grow into a difficult mess and when it’s not managed well, it may surely slow down the job, which can cause you to lose your money, eventually.
2. Key languages- various languages are essential to different branches of programming all across the digital world. However, HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is the best friend of a web designer in all situations. Most of the websites consist both HTML and PHP and the former controls the market for the website on both traditional workstations. PHP is for the mobile devices as well as account management, yet it is still advised to get a very strong background in this matter.
3. Package- the CSS is the packaging that wraps down your coded HTML and gives it some of the basic outlines that will help you prevent any sort of repetitive instructions all through the process of designing. As a web designer, you need to understand the different variations of the style sheets and the uniqueness of the approach that you apply as the designer will surely save you a good deal of time when dealing with the same pages under similar style.
4. Flexible images- when it comes to digital designing Dubai, using images is essential. These images could be resized by using responsive web design dubai. In order to make the images flexible, the designers will use units that are different from the pixels or through the percentages. Some of these techniques will be using the resizing of the image without even breaking the ratio of the length and the width.
5. Media Queries- the CSS or Cascading Style Sheet has its own medium that is a dependent support known as the media queries. What this support feature does is that, it verifies the type of media or the gadget while gathering the limits to a certain expression such as the color, width and height. These media queries will help you in reshaping your website design when it comes to the layout, spacing and other conditions on the current platform.
If you want to get a powerful design, considering these concepts mentioned above can greatly help you with your project.

01 In a sauté pan, combine the sugar, butter and honey, and warm over a medium heat on the stove until melted. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mustard, soy sauce, oil and ginger. Leave to cool to room temperature.
01 Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium heat (180–230°C).
02 Place the salmon, skin-side down, on a large sheet of foil. Trim the foil to leave a border of 5 mm–1 cm around the edge of the salmon. Brush the top of the salmon with the brown sugar mixture.
03 Brush the cooking grates clean. Place the salmon on the foil over roasting/indirect medium heat for 25–30 minutes, close the lid, and cook until the edges begin to brown and the inside is opaque. Transfer the salmon with the foil to a chopping board.

The Canada G7 meeting in Charlevoix, Quebec, is beginning somewhat acrimoniously. It will not be a forum where leaders of the industrialised nations can meet in a relaxing atmosphere to discuss issues affecting the international community. Instead, it is shaping up to be a politician’s version of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Late last week, Trump floated the idea (again) of having bilateral discussions with Mexico and Canada. On June 5, National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow said that Trump’s preference is to negotiate separately.
The Washington Post reported that President Trump wanted to skip the meeting altogether. He has since confirmed his attendance. However, he must have read the Leaders Programme for Saturday, June 9, because he is bailing, early.
The faces have been slapped; the gloves are off. In G7 Fight Club, the only rules are Trump’s rules.
It should have been a good week for the Canadian dollar. It wasn't. On May 30, the Bank of Canada issued a hawkish statement, hinting at a July rate increase and leaving the door open for more. However, the positive Canadian dollar sentiment didn’t survive the month end, and trade jitters have been the catalyst. That’s when the US slapped tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium imports, even though the Nafta renegotiations are still ongoing. Fears about the demise of Nafta and concern about a hawkish conclusion to the June 13 Federal Open Market Committee meeting are underpinning USDCAD.
The Canadian labour report didn’t do the Canadian dollar any favours either. The weaker-than-expected data raises questions about governor Poloz’s optimistic economic outlook while increasing the currency’s downside risk to adverse trade news.

For details about how to get the electrical service you need for your project, download our Residential Construction Handbook (pdf 3.4MB).
Below are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about utility service to your new home.
How much will it cost me to get utility service to my new home?
For most new electric customers, the location of your house in relation to the lot size will determine how much it will cost to get utility service to your new home. We usually install electric facilities up to four times the Standard Annual Revenue. If the expected cost exceeds this amount, you’ll be asked to make a refundable contribution before to installation of any utility facilities.
For natural gas service, one of our representatives will prepare a cost estimate using your application. If the construction site is not near natural gas distribution lines, the estimate will include the cost to extend distribution lines to your site. The rep may need to meet with you on-site to gather additional information about your requirements. After the estimate is complete, we’ll notify you about any costs you may be required to pay per applicable tariffs.
For natural gas service, one of our representatives will prepare a cost estimate using your application. We usually install natural gas facilities up to one and a half times the Standard Annual Revenue. If the construction site is not near natural gas distribution lines, the estimate will include the cost to extend distribution lines to your site. The rep may need to meet with you on-site to gather additional information about your requirements. After the estimate is complete, we’ll notify you about any costs you may be required to pay per applicable tariffs.
How can I determine the Standard Annual Revenue for a new home?
Check with one of our construction representatives to determine which rate your new home will qualify for and the appropriate line extension allowance.
What is a refundable contribution and how do you refund it?
When the cost estimate exceeds the line extension allowance for a new home, you’ll have to make a refundable contribution equal to the difference. You will be eligible for refunds up to the refundable contribution paid for a period of eightfour years.
Can I request underground electric service?
Yes, overhead or underground extensions are covered by the Line Extension Allowance for a new home. But you will be required to provide the trench, bedding and backfill for the primary and secondary lines.
Can the phone wire and television wires go in the same trench?
Yes. Phone wire and television wires can be laid directly with the power cable in the trench.
What about water, sewer and gas lines?
Natural gas lines can be placed in the same trench as the power cables. Natural gas, water and sewer lines must maintain 12 inches minimum separation from power line trench specifications.
What inspections and permits are required for natural gas service?
All natural gas piping systems must be pressure-tested before use. The contractor or you, the property owner, is responsible for arranging the pressure test in accordance with applicable national, state and local codes for installation of natural gas systems. You may be required to obtain a permit and/or have your appliances and piping inspected before we can set a meter and turn on natural gas. Please refer to local regulations for your specific area.
Is it OK to use a foundation excavation for part of my buried service trench?
No. It is difficult to repair services along a foundation wall. The service must be away from the house in its own trench.
Does it matter if my buried electric service goes under a driveway or patio?
You should make every effort to place the buried service in areas that will not be paved. In the event that it is not possible, please contact a construction planner for specifications. This method speeds up repairs and eliminates the necessity to damage the pavement to repair cable failures.
Who is responsible for the maintenance of the service line?
We maintain overhead and underground services up to the customer connection. We maintain overhead and underground services up to the building wall.
Where is the customer connection?
For overhead services, the connecting point is the customer-owned weatherhead. For underground services, the connecting point is the customer-owned meter can. We provide the meter, which you pay for as a part of your monthly service charge.
Is there a preferred location for the meter?
Yes. Having the meter in an easily accessible location for our advanced metering system is important. Normally, the side or front of the house works best. It is important to not locate the meter within a fenced area, inside a building or at the rear of the lot.
How much electrical capacity do I need in my new home?
The capacity for your home is going to depend on your square footage. Correct sizing should be done with the advice of an engineer or electrical contractor.
Is temporary construction power available?
Whoops. Looks like you need to enter your zip code to view what options are available in your community.We’ll make every attempt to provide temporary electric service for construction power. Normally, we provide temporary service for construction power for a service charge of $85 plus tax. However, in some cases, construction power is not available on-site, which could result in additional costs for you.

When in 1946, Konrad Adenauer stated that “Asia stands on the Elbe”, he just rephrased, consciously or unconsciously, the nineteen-century joke of his Austrian colleague, chancellor Metternich, who used to say that the very place where Asia began was just behind the fence of his Vienaise garden. For both of them, “Asia” was just another word for something hostile, barbarous and threatening the very existence of their (Western) civilisation. For Metternich, implicitly, all the space east to Vienna was culturally inferior and suspicious; as many Westerners of the time, he believed that “the frontiers of civilisation did not extend beyond the territorial aspirations of the more timorous Carolingian monarchs”.
But Adenauer hardly shared this view; in any case, he knew that there was Eastern Germany east to Elbe and that eastern Germans did not differ too much from their western compatriots, at least at that time. What he meant by “Asia standing on the Elbe” was certain political reality brought as far as to his own country by the Soviet troops and imposed on Eastern Europeans by brutal force, blackmail and political trickery. “Asia” meant for him not just another civilisation – however inferior and alien it might be, as in Metternich’s view, – but rather lack of civilisation, “anti-civilisation” which threatened the most fundamental values of Western world.
The Western perception of Eastern Europe, after 1946, had consisted of various combinations of both feelings, the “Adenauer’s” and the “Metternich’s”. On the one hand, the Westerners recognised that to the east from the Elbe and to the Metternich’s garden there was also Europe, even though poorer and despised. They knew that this Europe did not accept its “Asian” status voluntarily and that she tried desperately to get rid of it – by all possible means. But, on the other hand, they felt that something was wrong with this part of Europe since she allowed to be swallowed up and since she had been victimised so often and heavily throughout her history. Probably, she was guilty herself; she was predisposed and, in fact, doomed to be raped permanently because she was not European enough, she was not “like we”, lucky and happy, she was inferior. As under-Europe, or semi-Europe, she had equal chances to grow up to the true Europeanness or to dissolve into the entropic Asiaticness. She has lost the first chance that was gifted her after WWI, and now she must pay for it. There are nobody to blame except herself.
A guilty conscience is extremely inventive. The Metternich’s approach provides Westerners with a good rationale for their behind-the-fence status, it perfectly reconcile them with Munich and Yalta, with “non-interference” in the Soviet “internal affairs” – whether it was destruction of Ukrainian, Georgian, Armenian independence in the early 1920s, or invasion of Budapest and Prague in 50s and 60s. This approach was reflected in Lloyd George’s remark on trading even with cannibals, as well as in Roosevelt’s decision to establish diplomatic relations with Russia in 1933, exactly when six to eight million Ukrainians had been starving to death by some Kremlin cannibals, willing to trade.
But still there is another side of the problem. Eastern Europe is not as remote territory as Chechnia, or Georgia, or Armenia, or Kurdistan. Its appearance had been troublesome, its complete disappearance may have been disastrous. The common enemy, threatening from the East, had united Western and Eastern Europeans much more than any common cultural heritage; “Asia”, the powerful “other”, to a large extent determined the common identity of the Westerners and the Easterners. Even though the Westerners knew that the “true” Europe began somewhere at the Elbe and Vienna, they saw clearly that “Asia” was coming and that the not-so-true Europe, under these circumstances, should be preserved as a more preferable neighbour. Yeah, after Yalta it had been ceded to Stalin but it still could be maintained somehow as, at least, not-so-true Asia.
Hence, the Western attitude towards the Easterners had always been ambivalent if not ambiguous. On the one hand, the Westerners firmly believed that the Easterners, to a different degree, deserved their destiny (any people, finally, have the government they deserve!); but on the other hand, the Westerners felt that the Easterners who resisted the “Asia’s” advance, did deserve (to a different degree) their sympathy and support. And indeed, the Easterners had enjoyed this support – to the extent described above by the statement of the British Foreign Office: not to iritate the Soviet government and not to deteriorate the relations with them. In other words, not to mar the trade with cannibals completely.
Of course, there have always been some intellectuals in the West who perceived Eastern Europe as a true Europe, and even more of it. They demonstrated at Soviet embassies and organised various committees to defend eastern dissidents with non-pronounceable names; they signed petitions and published articles; they visited East European capitals and smuggled subversive literature; sometimes they became more native than the natives themselves; they were involved, engaged, and enchanted. Many of them enthusiastically believed that “this part of the Continent was once a near-paradise of cultural, ethnic, and linguistic multiplicity and compatibility, producing untold cultural and intellectual riches,” and that despite totalitarianism or, even, because of it (in response to its pressure) Eastern Europe was a country of “wonderful spiritual tension.” This view, however reasonable it might be, had never spreaded beyond the narrow circle of specialists on the area and members of East European Diaspora.
In general, Western ambiguous attitude toward Eastern Europe has been largely determined by the geopolitics, i.e., by cold calculations and age-old principle “charity begins at home.” It is quite reasonable and hardly blameworthy. What is really reprehensible, is a kind of “liberal-democratic” hypocrisy on the Western side and double standards usually applied to different countries and to themselves. It looks as if a Western gauge has had various calibrations in various cases. Unfortunately, many Easterners have been seduced and deluded by these tricks; they have always expected more than the Westerners could and wanted to offer them, and have been often aggrieved as deserted lovers.
Not so rarely, this disappointment resulted in zealous anti-Westernism, nationalism, xenophobia, isolationism and autarky. Indeed, the question whether the Western civilisation is superior to any other civilisation, is not so simple, and the apostles of post-colonialism have debated it very seriously. But I would like to avoid this discussion, at least here. Eastern Europe is a part of Europe and, moreover, it is a part of the modern world. My major assumption is that modernity is unavoidable since the humankind entered it. One may regret, and complain, and condemn it, but there is no way back. It is like the Fall, the lost innocence, the bygone childhood. We may dislike our adult life but it is the only life to live. We may find the Western civilisation ugly and arrogant but any other civilisation today is much worse, and any attempt to alter modernity with some kind of pre-modern or anti-modern utopia proves funny at best, or bloody and exhaustive at worst – as we might see elsewhere in the world.
Our attitude to the West, therefore, should be neither hyper-positive nor hyper-negative. The West bears relative, rather than absolute goodness. For East Europeans, who are sandwiched between the West and Russia, it means that the West is a lesser, much lesser, evil. This ambiguous attitude, I feel, is an appropriate answer to the Western ambiguity. There are no permanent friends in the international relations but there are permanent interests. The East Europeans’ interest is to survive, the Western Europeans’ interest is to survive either. Of course, it is not the same for each of them. East Europeans are closer to “Asia”; their democracies, economies, military forces are weaker; their escape from the “Asia’s” sphere of influence still is questionable, and their independence is vulnerable in all possible terms. Hardly surprising then, that they want to remove the fence of Metternich’s garden as far to the east as possible. And hardly surprising that the Westerners do not understand this haste and nervousness. For the Westerners, “Asia’s” return is neither so plausible nor so dangerous. They have more time to prepare themselves for any surprise, and they have more means to encounter it.
Thus, the East Europeans can really rely on their Western neighbours but only to the extent to which their interests coincide. Sometimes they coincide significantly, sometimes not. But in no time, the Easterners should rely on their Western “allies” completely. At any time, the Western attitude may suddenly change because of some higher reasons, some whimsical calculations – or misreasons and miscalculations, it does not matter. What really matters is that any moment the East Europeans may be betrayed again, and sacrificed, as it has happened not once in the history.
All their advantages notwithstanding, they have neither military nor economic resources of Russia. And they will never be as attractive, promising, disappointing, concerning, disturbing, menacing as their Eurasian neighbour. In these terms, the Western approach towards Eastern Europe will always remain as it has always been, utilitarian and instrumental. Charity begins at home, keep it in mind.
So what can Eastern Europe offer to the West? Geopolitical stability? Yes, to a certain degree, but the major concern still is Russia, and world’s security and stability depends mostly on developments there. Of course, Eastern Europe may assume again the role of cordon sanitaire, if it was stable itself (the Balkans are major yet not only problem), and if this role (a “linchpin of the new post-Cold War Europe,” in S. Talbott’s words) has not shifted eastward, to Ukraine. Then, maybe Eastern Europe can attract the West economically? Hardly so. There are no important natural resources there, and there no goods which may compete on the Western markets. And the cheap labour force from the East is even less needed in the West than the cheap Eastern goods. Perhaps only some problems of economic as well as political transition may draw attention of Western specialists — as a material for esoteric books, articles and Ph.D. dissertations.
In the West, however, ignorance is quite compatible with the best libraries, full of whatever works. I have met a lot of university students in the U.S., who had never heard names like Goethe, Faust, or Gogol, so I was not surprised that only a few of them knew who was Milosz, Brodsky, or Kundera (Havel proved to be better known because he had one more occupation beside a playwright). But even this, very dubious, “success of the Easterners” in the West will probably fade in the nearest future, since on the one hand the Russian tanks are not coming so there is nothing to be discussed in op-eds, and on the other hand no new celebrities have emerged in the East since 1989 (Zhirinovsky, Ziuganov, and Lukashenko are hardly applicable). Manchester capitalism seems to be less supportive for the liberal arts in Eastern Europe than over-aged and senile communism.
Apparently, it is not just a Polish but East European problem; the tremendous endeavour of East European intellectuals to withstand totalitarianism and to preserve inner freedom had passed out and became a history. Today, the region enters a new, non-heroic era when the old habits of resistance and fighting are obsolete while the new habits of mundane work are not yet acquired. The combatants of the long anticommunist struggle may feel disappointed and dissatisfied; they still employ their outdated discourse (and the harped Central East European myth is just a part of it), but East European societies are clearly fed up with it, and the people’s return to the reformed, and even unreformed, communists in some countries is the first sign that new ideas and slogans are needed.
Here, we cannot and, actually, do not need to, go deeper into the problem of European identity as based on a common religion and culture (“the supreme values by which European humanity understood itself, defined itself, identified itself as European”). The major vulnerability of Kundera’s arguments does not lie in his hypothesis that there was a moment when European identity changed and culture bowed out, giving way to the marketplace, to technical feats, to the mass media, to politics. Maybe he is right, maybe not. What seems to be really questionable in his theory, however, is a non-proved assumption that, before that very moment, Eastern Europe had been perceived in Europe as its integral part. History gives little evidence to this argument. To the contrary, the well-known Shakespeare’s words (“Bohemia. A desert country near the sea”) could serve a good motto to the entire history of Western-Eastern relations. “A desert country near the sea” is just another term for the black hole behind the fence of Metternich’s garden.
Today, Eastern Europeans have a good chance to remove the fence to the east – somewhere to the western or eastern Ukrainian borders (this depends on many circumstances, but also on the honesty of the removers). And then, Eastern Europe may have become just a Europe, without additional qualifications and humiliating discussions about who is “more” Central and “more” European. (Exactly, as nobody in Benelux cares whether they are Western or Central Western Europeans).
As any myth, the concept of Central Eastern Europe would not dissipate immediately. It would exist until there is Eastern Europe as a certain post-communist reality, and until unpredictable “Asia” stands on the Bug, or the Dniper, or elsewhere eastward. As any myth, it has its own power, since was created as a rephrase of classical myths — those of the lost paradise and the promised land. The paradise was the Habsburg Empire and “cultural unity”, while the promised land was EC, NATO and, again, “cultural unity.” In the internal sphere, this myth facilitated popular anti-Soviet and anticommunist mobilisation; in the international sphere, it substantiated demands to the West for further recognition and support.
Yet, from the very beginning, this myth proved to be extremely exclusivist and, thereby, harmful; its side effect was not only mystification of “central” Easterners with too pinkly visions of their pasts and futures, but also establishment of a very distasteful hierarchy of “more” and “less European” nations in Eastern Europe. Since “European belonging”, under peculiar political circumstances, had been far more than just a cultural/geographical notion, the detachment of some “Central” European nations from Eastern Europe implicitly meant that the non-members of this privileged club did deserve less, if any, Western attention and help. In practical terms, it looked as a quarrel among the prisoners over who of them used to love freedom more and deserved to be released first.
Today, as some “central” Easterners elbow their way to EC and NATO, the bored Westerners may find another amusement in watching beggars who still want to be choosers. The most regrettable thing in this competition is that the Easterners prove to be as exclusivist as the Westerners, as soon as they manage to jump over the Metternich’s fence. And now, not only Westerners, but also Easterners come to believe that “Asia” begins somewhere to the east from Poland and to the south from Hungary, and that Macedonia, Belarus, Armenia are but another “desert countries near the sea.” The Westerners have had to pay their price for their exclusiveness, but for the Easterners, the price may be much higher.
All our talks about cultural unity are worthless as long as we neglect Albanians because they are poor, we neglect Belorussians because they are Russified, we neglect Lusatian Sorbs because they are too small, we neglect Georgians and Armenians because they are too remote from our gardens (even though they had found their Christian kingdoms and evolved their unique literacy much earlier than any East European tribe was mentioned wherever).
Who cares about all that? Who cares about wonderful Georgian cinema, which certainly was the best in the former Soviet Union and, perhaps, one of the best in the world? Who cares about excellent Georgian theatre, painting, about the bright philosophers and translators (the first and only translation of Joyce’s Ullises in the USSR was Georgian!). Who cares about great Georgian literature which has at least two modern writers, Otar Chiladze and Chabua Amiredjibi, who would have honoured the long list of Nobel Prize winners if anybody managed to read them, at least in Russian translations!.. Again, the “tremendous intensity of spirit,” the “wild hunger for Europe,” demonstrated by a small East European nation who never lost its cultural longing for Europe, have not been noticed anywhere. But how can we complain, after this, about Western ignorance, being ourselves no less ignorant and selfish?!
I have deliberately said nothing about Ukraine since any my view may seem too particular and partisan. I may claim, as many Ukrainians do, that Ukrainian poetry is better and “more European” than that of Europe – but who would care? I may remind that Western Ukraine is no less “Central European” than Poland or Slovakia – but who would admit it to the privileged club of the “true” Central Europeans, to the club where not only Ukrainians but also Slovenians, Croats and Transylvanians look rather suspicious candidates? I may argue that the Central European, “Habsburgian”, myth is alive in Ukrainian Lviv even more than in Czech Prague, and that not accidentally the first issue of respectable cultural journal “I” (the unique letter of Ukrainian alphabet) was dedicated a few years ago to that very problem – with the featured Kundera’s “Tragedy of Eastern Europe,” short stories of Bruno Schulz, Sacher-Mazoch’s essays, and the portrait of emperor Franz Joseph on the cover sheet.
Of course, Western Ukraine is only small part of the country, and most Ukrainians are certainly not preoccupied with their “Europeanness” or “Eastern Centralness.” In 1994, only 15% of the participants of the opinion poll claimed that Ukraine should mainly establish ties with Western countries (in Western Ukraine, the number of “Westerners” mounted 30%, but in the Crimea it proved ten times smaller). Meanwhile, 17% of the respondents said to develop relations mainly with Russia (this is rather high and disturbing figure but it is still smaller than the number of Russians – 22%, and much smaller than the total number of Russophones in Ukraine – up to 50% of the population). Some 14% of the respondents held that Ukraine should mainly rely on its own resources to strengthen independence, while the vast majority (40%) suggested that Ukraine should mainly broaden ties within the CIS, i.e., to preserve the existing status-quo.
Sincerely, I do not think that Ukraine can teach the West whatever. Neither East Europeans can. Nor the West is going to be taught by anybody. Of course, both the Western and Eastern intellectuals may speculate on this topic – in the style of Karl Jung who had published an article “What does India teach us?” many decades ago, perfectly explaining “what” but never pondering over “us”. Like Jung, I believe in “what” but I have serious doubts about “us”.
The process which Eastern Europe is undergoing now, can be called normalisation. It is interesting but hardly attractive. It promises little room for any “uniqueness” and would certainly dissatisfy East European intellectuals who want their countries to be at the forefront of world attention. But the combatant consciousness must have gone, and exhibitionist complexes vanished. At the best scenario – unless “Asia” returns, and new dictatorships remerge, and a new Bosnia flares up – Eastern Europe would be successfully marginalized and would certainly draw no more attention than Greece, Portugal, Finland, or Iceland. Is it so bad? For old combatants – probably yes, but for most people – no. Most people don’t care about the fence, whether it’s eastern, or central, or south eastern. They care about a garden. I feel, it’s a good time to roll up the sleeves and to till it. | 2019-04-18T20:57:09 | http://ji.lviv.ua/n13texts/riabchuk-en.htm |
Labour ‘leader’ Jeremy Corbyn announced a major triumph yesterday as he was finally able to beat level 653 on Candy Crush.
It is understood that the breakthrough came during a meeting with economic experts who were briefing about the catastrophic effects of Brexit on the constituencies that Mr Corbyn and Labour purport to represent.
“This is a real win for Jeremy,” said a Labour insider.
“He’d been stuck on that level for about four weeks, I believe it was the combination of random chocolate spawners with hard to reach sweet bombs that were causing him real problems.
Simon Williams, a staunch Corbyn supporter, was enthusiastic about the news.
“I heartily endorse whatever activity Jeremy has been involved in and condemn the MSM for not reporting on it fairly,” he said.
With the completion of this particularly tricky Candy Crush level, many people have asked if perhaps, as leader of the opposition, he could possibly do some f**king opposing of the single most catastrophic act of folly a nation has ever perpetrated on itself.
“Possibly,” replied the Labour insider. | 2019-04-19T16:45:18 | https://newsthump.com/2018/11/12/jeremy-corbyn-beats-level-653-on-candy-crush-during-brexit-briefing/ |
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic Children’s Center is ranked again as one of the top performing children’s hospitals in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Iowa area on U.S. News & World Report’s 2016–2017 Best Children’s Hospitals rankings.
Rankings of nearly 180 of the nation’s pediatric centers identify the top 50 in each of 10 specialties. In 2016, only 78 children’s hospitals were ranked in at least one pediatric specialty. The Mayo Clinic Children’s Center ranked among the top 50 in 8 out of 10 pediatric specialties.
Mayo Clinic is highly ranked for its quality and specialty care by more national assessment organizations than any other academic medical center in the nation.
“We are very proud to have our Children’s Center rank so strongly in multiple specialties,” Dr. Flick adds. | 2019-04-23T23:56:08 | https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-childrens-center-ranks-among-the-nations-best/ |

For the last two days, Blake has been privileged to photograph the inaugural conference of Reshet, a newly established network for Jewish youth provision in the UK. Headed up by incredible Executive Director, Shelley Marsh, Reshet may be a unit operating within the Jewish community, but it asks a much more universal question: In a world of countless digital distractions, ever-growing materialism, the internet redefining our relationships with each other and our communities, and the Kardashians… how do we ensure that teenagers retain a strong identity, and are actively engaged in their heritage and the future of their communities?
Many incredible people came together, firstly at the Baden Powell Conference Centre in Kensington, and then the artsdepot in north London, to discuss and debate these issues – including teenagers, community leaders, youth-workers and researchers from across numerous different countries.
Attendees were treated to talks by two compelling yet completely different keynote speakers. The first was David Bryfman, Director of the New Center for Collaborative Leadership at The Jewish Education Project, whose blend of research, analysis, unique perspectives and frank humour were fascinating and entertaining. The second was Scott Fried, a mind-blowingly powerful speaker who invites us to reassess the way we interact with each other. Indeed his biography on twitter simply states “I teach kindness” – we couldn’t muster a more accurate and succinct description than that. There were many other interesting sessions on everything from how technology has transformed the way teenagers live their lives, to the ever-changing challenges faced when educating about the Jewish world and Israel. | 2019-04-24T20:06:45 | https://blakeezrablog.com/2016/02/29/all-about-the-youth-reshet-conference-2016/ |
After reading a free sample chapter, I purchased the book in early March. I did not finish it until 02 May because some of the gruesome descriptions just stopped me. I then went to other books on my TBR shelf. But this genre always draws me back.
In the first few pages we have almost midnight in a dark forest with a female being pursued by a gang of “wildings”, a group of dirty, uncivilized pre-teens whose conversational skills are limited to laughs and animal sounds. We don’t know the woman’s name, but we can be confident she is young, nubile, accepting of death as her ultimate fate, and pretty much getting weaker and weaker as she approaches the point where she will either leap into the sea and die or be ravaged by the wildings and die. Not much of and end for the graduate from MIT who was in spy training for the CIA and would have been an ambassador to the UN. Or maybe not. But everyone has to have some kind of back story and that was one possibility.
Having finished her off in the first chapter (maybe) we go to some scene setting with a deserted cabin in the woods with yet again another young, nubile female who is preparing said cabin in preparation for the arrival of a group of friends. Without being introduced to the group, I predict there will be some young, nubile types in the group. Nobody bothers ugly people. There is some sort of lesson here.
There are quotes early in the book that reflect Ketchum’s writing style, like this one: “Every so often life reminded you of how grimy and carnal a creature man could be if he set himself to it.” (loc. 540-541). In the context of the story, this is Marjie reflecting on overeating during a stop to the cabin where Carla is waiting and preparing for the group’s arrival. However, the quoted reflection is portable, feel free to bring it along to the many grim scenes that follow.
The surprises (possible spoilers) happen with the abrupt terminations of several characters that appear throughout the book. Of course these are the “good guys.” We don’t care if villains die; it is part of their job description. And if some of the good guys die, that is part of the story also, but with many writers we can see it coming; it is predictable. Not so with Ketchum. I found myself occasionally stopping and thinking “Really! This can’t be happening this way!” Which is why I like to read Ketchum.
The action starts suddenly with a home invasion. It is non-stop action from that point until the end. The action is violent, crude, cruel, and vicious. I will not give it to my teenage son. But there is more. After a somewhat disappointing ending, Ketchum writes about his struggle to get the novel published in the version that he originally wrote. That chapter is worth the price of admission (book). | 2019-04-25T11:46:14 | https://ron877.com/2016/05/02/pay-attention-to-the-kids/ |
My first step in expanding the competition was to validate the savings from the current program. I needed to determine whether the fume hoods were still saving the amount of energy that the competition intended. After locating a number of new labs where "shut the sash" could potentially make an impact, I decided to compare fume hood management between the labs.
Between February and April 2015, I worked with Wendy Chen, a graduate student at Harvard Extension School to test the hypothesis that the Shut the Sash program was the optimal method in making fume hood operation more efficient. I collected building management system (BMS) data from several buildings, and utilizing the talents of the graduate student we compared the results. We also had to make some generalizations on fume hood operational costs. With the help of Siemens engineers and building managers, we determined that the "average fume hood," has a cost of $7.43 per CFM of exhaust per year. Obviously some fume hoods save more than others by closing the sashes, but for the sake of this study we normalized the operational cost. | 2019-04-20T14:10:09 | https://www.labconscious.com/blog/2015/11/23/maximize-your-shut-the-sash-program-tip-no-1 |
