Last week I wrote about expanding what we imagine is possible, so that kids might realize potential that transcends what history and habit have told us we can hope for. If we were to find it in ourselves to make that shift, what might it lead us to? What would we do differently?

The phone rings at 7:30 in the evening and it’s the local newspaper calling to sell a subscription. But the representative doesn’t say hello, or issue a greeting of any kind. She launches right in with “All it will take to have the paper delivered right to the door is a name and address…” She continues for a full 30 seconds and then stops only so I can give my name and address. Apparently there’s no cause for asking whether or not I’d be interested in reading their paper.
This happens all the time, and I don’t know anyone who isn’t annoyed by it, at the very least. We respond with varying degrees of fury and disgust and commensurate impoliteness. We don’t like to be bombarded with sales pitches we didn’t ask for. Here’s the interesting thing, though. Not only does it make us less likely to buy or buy into anything, it actually makes us less likely to buy or buy into things we might otherwise really want. I probably wouldn’t have bought the paper last night no matter what, because I just don’t have much use for it, but that fact is far less interesting and noteworthy than the fact that I didn’t even have a chance to think about whether or not I wanted it because I was too busy fending off the sales attack. All I could think about was getting off the phone without violating too many of my own values of how to treat other people when I feel they’re being rude. I was busy defending myself against what felt like a violation of the little quiet there was in the day. The paper, and its potential usefulness to me, didn’t have a prayer of getting any consideration in the face of that.
This is why we get so much auto-resistance from kids – that habitual resistance that flares up in the face of many adult mandates. (This kind of resistance is distinct from the kind where a child is resisting something due to an actual objection to a task or expectation.) Kids auto-resist not because they don’t know what’s good for them (as reading the paper might have been for me) but because our delivery is so atrociously disrespectful and assumptive that they don’t even have the chance to consider what we’re offering – learning, preparation for the future, anything. Kids are bombarded all day every day with adult imposition, and they can barely breathe in the face of it, so they often fight it off like it’s all the same – one big mass of adult nonsense – and they end up missing out on things they may well have opted into if given the chance.
We’re like the woman on the phone trying to shove the paper down my throat – we don’t realize that all that’s getting through is the shoving. The paper was too far in the background to be noticed. That’s what happens with math, and with reading, with music lessons, and with history, with being polite, with doing chores, with myriad things we try to get kids to do that really might benefit them in some way but they seem to reject. It’s not that all kids want all of what we’ve got to offer, but they want lots more of it than they take. We set up a dynamic that makes it difficult for them to actually consider and receive what we’re offering, and our relationships with them become largely characterized by power struggle as a result. Kids want to be knowledgeable, prepared, included, safe just as much as you want it for them. They just need to be included in the process of getting themselves there. | 2019-04-22T07:00:34 | https://eachonethrives.wordpress.com/tag/future/ |

The Youth Science Ambassador Program is an innovative initiative of Ocean Networks Canada (ONC). The program connects youth from local communities with world-leading ocean science from ONC’s observatories and the place-based Indigenous knowledge of the ocean that exists within their region. Involving both rural and urban Indigenous communities, this Program is all about engaging and inspiring the next generation of ocean scientists, marine resource managers, and environmental stewards by exploring connections between their local marine environment and the global ocean.
The program is facilitated by local youth in a variety of communities along coastal British Columbia and in the Canadian Arctic. The Program is adapted to meet the needs and interests of each community. Hands-on learning activities and research projects are co-developed with key community educators and knowledge holders, emphasising a focus on the place-based Indigenous Knowledge held within their territory. The Youth Science Ambassadors work to connect students and classes with ONC data (from local community observatories) and Indigenous Knowledge through the development of enquiry projects relevant to their local ocean environment. These enquiry based projects are developed surrounding the interests of students and priorities identified by the communities. Although the projects vary greatly depending on the community, they all have a common ocean thread: making local observations, global connections.
The Youth Science Ambassador program supports collaboration with Indigenous communities and schools by facilitating ONC’s education program, Ocean Sense, encouraging participation in ocean data collection and analysis, and fostering interest in ocean sciences.
Today, there is growing recognition of the impact of human settlements on the state of the global ocean. It is a goal of the Youth Science Ambassador program to promote ocean literacy and citizen science as a bridge to address the knowledge gap and to recruit a new generation of Canadian youth, especially girls and Indigenous youth, into marine science.
By hiring a local youth (recent high school graduate) to deliver these education programs a stronger partnership is developed between ONC and the local communities. The programs and resources developed are then able to be created with a strong local focus and the inclusion of place-based Indigenous content. The Youth Science Ambassadors also support community collaboration in decision-making for instrument deployment locations and identify ways in which ONC can help to address any areas of concern raised by the community.
Snow monitoring program: in collaboration with Kiilinik High School, the Cambridge Bay YSA leads a snow depth measurement program with the grades 8 and 9 classes. Snow depth accumulation and recent snowfall depths are monitored and recorded with the help of local high school students.
Working with Arbutus Global Middle School, Victoria based YSA is leading a school science club where students will explore ocean data and knowledge through inquiry based projects. Together with help from the YSA this club is developing a science fair type project based on local underwater information from Ocean Networks Canada’s observatories and sensors. Students are investigating the changes in local ocean conditions using oceanographic instruments in the Salish Sea on the VENUS Observatory.
Working with Ocean Networks Canada’s North Coast based YSA, students at the 'Na Aksa Gyilak'yoo School (Kitsumkalum) are exploring ocean data from the Prince Rupert - Ts’msyen Territory Community Observatory and Ts’msyen knowledge of the ocean to develop a science fair type project related to the impacts of climate change within Kitsumkalum Territory.
Mia, an Inuk from Cambridge Bay, has now gone on to a full-time job in science, working for the Nunavut Impact Review Board. As part of her work as YSA with ONC, she led a youth, community-based monitoring program with the students of Kiilinik High School to collect snow data to help in scientific modelling of ice conditions.
Cathryn Hale was ONC’s first YSA for the Victoria area. In this role, she worked to develop relationships with local First Nations and schools to encourage youth to pursue careers in science. By introducing students to careers and resources that they may not have heard of before she hopes to spark an interest that will carry through to adulthood and benefit their communities. During the school year she visited schools to give presentations and deliver hands-on activities. During the summer she organized and ran day camp activities with the W̱SÁNEĆ Nations and Esquimalt First Nations. Cathryn also helped out with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) project the Learning and Engagement Team ran in partnership with local schools. Cathryn also spearheaded ONC’s work with Arbutus Global Middle School, assisting students with their ocean related inquiry projects and videos they prepared to showcase at the Ocean Science Symposium in May 2018.
Cathryn is Ahousaht from the Sam family. She was born in Port Alberni, BC, but grew up mostly in Chetwynd, BC. She worked in forestry, mining, and studied forest science before deciding to pursue her true interests - oceanography! While she enjoyed the landscape and the dramatic seasonal changes of the northern interior, she always missed the ocean and chose UVic for its role in ocean research and its proximity to her nuučaan̓uɫ roots. She is currently about two and a half years into her undergraduate degree with a combined major in Physics and Ocean Science.
Cathryn gets mildly annoyed when people say she is a marine biologist. While she can tell you about hydrophone recordings of whale calls and ONC’s research to monitor noise pollution and its effect on whales, she cannot tell you anymore about their biology than you get from a book.
Eden Atkinson-Bruce is from Terrace, B.C, she grew up hiking in the mountains, fishing in the Skeena River, and wandering the woods. Immediately after high school, Eden attended a local community college and then university, pursuing an Integrated Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science. Among other things, she is also pursuing a Small Engine Repair diploma, through a distance education institute.
From May 2017 to April 2018, Eden was the enthusiastic North Coast of BC Youth Science Ambassador. Eden worked closely with the Kitsumkalum First Nation’s 'Na Aksa Gyilak'yoo School to develop inquiry based projects surrounding the effects of climate change on Ts’msyen Territory. Students used ONC’s data from the Prince Rupert - Ts’msyen Territory Community Observatory to make observations about their local ocean environment. The students also worked with local knowledge holders and elders to learn about how Kitsumkalum Territory waters and lands are being altered because of climate change. The students from one of the classes even wrote a song about climate change within their territory. | 2019-04-26T05:58:47 | https://www.oceannetworks.ca/learning/get-involved/youth-science-ambassador |
FAQ: What is an ALR Hearing or Suspension in Texas?
What is an ALR Hearing or Suspension?
ALR stands for Administrative License Revocation. An ALR Hearing is the process by which a person who has been arrested for DWI can contest the driver’s license suspension that is imposed for refusal or failure of a breath or blood test during a DWI investigation. The suspension goes into effect automatically if an ALR Hearing is not requested within 15 days of the arrest. An individual can request a hearing by following the instructions provided on the notice of suspension, but it is generally best to have an attorney do it.
If you have been charged with DWI, you should retain a qualified attorney as soon as possible to ensure that this and other rights are adequately protected. | 2019-04-20T11:14:21 | https://www.pacefirm.com/faq/ALR.html |
Our app, Alphabetics, was just featured in Time Magazine. Thanks for the recommendation Jamie Martin! Alphabetics: Smaller kids get to practice their letters in multiple ways with this app. They can speak it, write it, hear it and pick it out of a group of other letters. Feels a little more like a game than Endless Alphabet, so they can be useful at different times.

Getting to review Blu-rays, and DVDs is one of the amazing things we get to do here at Family Friendly Gaming. I was very excited when I heard about Bambi Diamond Edition. We were provided the Blu-ray + DVD edition. Yes this movie is called Bambi, and it is all about Bambi. But to me Bambi Diamond Edition is more about Thumper. That little rabbit really steals the show in so many ways. That may be personal preference since I had rabbits growing up. It would have been difficult to have a deer as a pet.
The forest comes alive in Bambi Diamond Edition. Visually this movie is a piece of art, and I mean that literally. The different seasons are represented masterfully in Bambi Diamond Edition. The realism of how the animals move is absolutely amazing. There are little details like the rabbits nose that astound me to this day. The artists did their home work before making this film. There are a few moments of peril. A young adult Bambi has to fight another buck. There is also a scene where Bambi fights off dogs, and finally the fire in the forest offers some excitement. The camera does not show anything when Bambi's mother dies which is nice.
The voice acting is super in Bambi Diamond Edition. This is one of the areas where Thumper runs away with the movie. His talent is apparent. The music always fits the theme of the film. The emotion in the various character's voices stands out. This ranges from the care and concern of the mother to the irritation of the owl. The vibrant exploration of life is illustrated perfectly in Bambi Diamond Edition. Man is shown as the bad guy in Bambi Diamond Edition, even though there are numerous dangers in the forest.
I almost feel bad for Disney as they are always trying to find something new to show us in the special features. They are constantly showing us never before seen images, footages, etc. I can almost see someone stressing out trying to find something new that the public has not seen before. Some of the bonus features in Bambi Diamond Edition are deleted scenes, a deleted song, an Introduction, galleries, a game, and Inside Walt's Story Meetings. This is the Bambi version to own for fans of the franchise.
The level of emotion is very high in Bambi Diamond Edition. We feel for him during the winter, and when his mother dies. We see the eyes of wonder and amazement as he explores his world. Bambi Diamond Edition takes us along for a ride that reminds us of the various stages of life. Bambi Diamond Edition deals with birth, death, love, and surviving. The strength to continue on after a loved one dies is shown. His father is a powerful and loving character which in some ways remind me of our Heavenly Father.
Man is shown as the bad guy in Bambi Diamond Edition. To the animals in the forest we would be, so it depends on perspective. It would have been interesting if other dangers of the forest had been shown. Kids love the animals in Bambi Diamond Edition, and many of us adults do as well. The life lessons in Bambi Diamond Edition are there. What you do with them are up to you. The most astounding thing about Bambi is how long ago it was made. It has become a known foundation of Disney, but was not a huge success when it was released. That is one of the interesting things to me. | 2019-04-23T06:25:31 | http://www.familyfriendlygaming.com/Reviews/2011/Bambi%20Diamond%20Edition.html |
The Master of Wine Symposium took place in Bordeaux this past June, but there was a very important Languedoc connection. The keynote speech was delivered by renowned advertising expert, Sir John Hegarty who now owns a winery in the Languedoc. So as a small wink, I wanted to share that every region in France looks to the innovators who call the Languedoc home.
Here’s the video of Hegarty’s enlightening presentation in which he shares a lot of great views on the forces that shape modern economics and the wine world specifically. He’s also got a very catchy bit of advice: lose the mystery, keep the magic. If you have an hour, watch the video because it’s quality.
But re-reading this list, I feel that it really cheapens the wealth of information in the speech. Hegarty manages to deliver succinct and entertaining explanations of complicated changes in marketing, globalization, technology, and more… and you should really just watch the video.
MW Symposium – 26 June 2010 – Session 3 – The wine business viewed from outside from Masters of Wine on Vimeo.
This “viewed from outside”-perspective will be further investigated when I visit Domaine Hegarty Chamans later this year. And my UK readers will be able to catch John’s wines (and I think he’ll be there too) at the Languedoc Outsider Tasting this November.
And because I’m an advertisement-nerd, here is my favorite commercial that I didn’t realize was done by Hegarty’s firm until earlier today. Yes that’s the guy from Train Spotting (Robert Carlyle). I think what’s impressive is that I don’t really love the story of Johnny Walker. I think it’s sort of a story about globalization and industrialization of drink… but the ad is so powerful that I enjoy the journey anyway. And I think of Robert Carlyle throwing things off camera whenever I see Johnny Walker in a store.
This one too for Axe, which is …uh… different in mood. | 2019-04-20T08:34:09 | http://love-that-languedoc.com/john-hegarty-at-the-mw-symposium-love-that-languedoc/ |

By almost any measure, Rio 2016 will be the richest games in 120 years of Olympic history.
While the modern Games began as a celebration of non-professional sport, the movement has long-since thrown off any facade of amateurism and is now more flush with corporate cash than ever before.
This year, TV companies have paid more than $4bn to screen the 19-day festival of sport, while the eleven global sponsors bankrolling Rio 2016 have a combined market value of over $ 1.5 trillion dollars and are using that financial might to lavish more money on the event than ever with the Games being expected to bring in a total of $ 9.3bn in marketing revenues.
With regard to the athletes themselves, the top ten best paid sportsmen and women competing collectively earned $ 388m in 2015, according to Forbes. And the International Olympic Committee, which takes ten per cent of all of the money generated by the games, stands to earn more than ever in this Olympic cycle.
Multinational sponsors were quick to jump on the Rio 2016 bandwagon. As far back as 2011, Mexican media mogul Carlos Slim reportedly paid Rio's organising committee $ 320m to secure sponsorship for his firm, America Movil, dwarfing the sums paid by brands for London. Banco Bradesco, one of Brazil's biggest banks coughed up a similar sum. At the time, Slim was the richest person in the world and Brazil's economy was growing at 7.5 per cent a year.
Fast forward five years and the host nation's economy is in freefall, the companies and politicians delivering the games are embroiled in the biggest corruption case in Brazil's history. The Zika virus, pollution, unfinished venues and industrial-scale doping have taken their toll. In a recent poll, nearly six out of ten people from countries around the world said doping has had a negative effect on the level of attention they will pay the Games.
There have been far fewer social media conversations about the Olympics in the run-up to Rio 2016 than before London 2012, and of those, much less are expressing a positive sentiment, according social media posts by Mindshare.
But many sports marketing experts don't see this having a significant impact on sponsors bottom lines. “These issues are nothing new for the Olympic Movement or sport in general and athletes can continually command year-on-year above inflation endorsement fees,”says Ben Bradley, business director at MEC Wavemeker.
“The true test will be in four years time at Tokyo 2020.” Companies big and small are seemingly undeterred. “The prospect of live sport on a global scale is enough to ensure the variety of IOC, team and athlete sponsors will get a good return on investment,” says Rupert Pratt, director of Mongoose, which negotiates sponsorship deals for sporting events.
Smaller businesses are looking to Rio 2016 as the number one sporting event to boost sales according to Barclays figures. Rio's organising committee says it has been able to hit its target of $ 1.3bn from sponsorship rights, though exact figures for individual deals are confidential.
The IOC also grants sponsorship rights to global “partners” like Samsung and Coca-Cola. They have each paid up to $ 120m to be associated with the Olympic ideals of faster, higher, stronger. This is before they have spent a penny plastering billboards, banner ads and television screens with their logos.
Companies will each spend around four times their sponsorship fee to ensure a return, says Alex Kelham, head of the sports media group at law firm Lewis Silkin and a Commonwealth swimming gold medalist.
This brings the total spend for the biggest partners close to half a billion.
The so-called “activation budget” is higher for the Olympics than for the World Cup because the Olympics does not allow sponsors to advertise where they are most likely to be seen: the venues themselves. The IOC says that this is to protect the “purity and uniqueness” of the games.
The Olympics still offer unmatched exposure, however. Rio 2016 sponsor ads were watched for a total of 400 years by the end of June, over a month before the games have begun. London 2012 is, by some margin, the most searched for event ever, according to Google.
These eye-watering sums, and an estimated 3.6 billion global audience, have unsurprisingly made the nineteen days of TV coverage immensely valuable. TV rights account for the largest chunk of games revenue and the $ 4.1bn collected by the IOC for Rio coverage is again the highest amount on record.
NBCUniversal, paid a record $ 1.23bn to screen Rio 2016, far higher than the $ 900m it spent on Beijing in 2008. Advertisers in the US, comfortably the world's biggest TV market, spent £ 1.33bn on ad slots during London 2012.
“We will break revenue records here, there's no doubt about that,” said Seth Winter, head of advertising at the channel when it sailed past $ 1bn in ad sales in March. It only met that milestone four days before the opening ceremony at the last games.
The BBC, which has had unbroken coverage of all Olympic games since 1960, paid a relatively paltry £ 60m for London 2012 coverage and is understood to have paid close to £ 100m for Rio 2016.
Australian network Seven said interest in advertising had been unprecedented and it too was on target to smash the AUD100m advertising record set during the Sydney games in 2000, reportedly netting AUD150 -170m.
The trickle-down effect That this flow of cash has enriched top athletes is obvious. Olympic superstars such as Usain Bolt, have raised millions from endorsements. Bolt's deal with Puma is worth $ 10m per year, about a third of his total corporate endorsements, but very few are sharing in the bonanza.
The Olympics' top earners are taken almost entirely from the ranks of basketball, tennis and golf where prize money is many multiples of what even Bolt can command. Despite the billions flowing into the games, Bolt is the only Olympian from outside of those three sports on Forbes' top 100 sports rich list, and the only one who derives their fame first and foremost from the Games.
The Jamaican sprinter earned $ 2.5 million in prize money last year, barely a tenth of Novak Djokovic's winnings. The reality for the average US athlete is a salary of $ 16,533 according to figures collected by the Washington Post. Those from many other countries receive less.
In 2014 Canada found that the country's elite athletes spent $ 13,900 per year more than they earn. Team GB does not publish similar statistics. The IOC says it ploughs ninety per cent of revenues back into supporting athletes via the national Olympic bodies of each country, but many say the crumbs that eventually fall from the top table are not enough to support them through the gruelling training regimes required to compete.
A recent study showed that just 6 per cent of the money generated by the Olympics goes back to athletes as salaries. The rest is spent by the IOC and national bodies as they see fit. In contrast, Premier League players pocket well over half of their club's revenues.
The reality is that the billions flooding in may make Rio 2016 the richest Olympics ever, but most of the athletes will see almost none of it. | 2019-04-23T14:10:27 | https://www.iol.co.za/sport/olympics/rio-2016-the-richest-games-ever-2053926 |
My neighbor came to see my last weekend. He came to tell me that he had been seeing my dog trying to get into his rabbit cage. He told me that if my dog got his rabbit, he would kill my dog.
Yesterday as I was raking the leaves, I see my dog come trotting across the yard proudly displaying the little muddy rabbit in his mouth. My heart dropped! Seeing that my neighbor wasn’t home, I quickly grabbed the rabbit, took it inside and gave it a good washing. I blow dried it and brushed it and took the poor thing back to it’s cage. | 2019-04-23T02:03:20 | http://newfunnycleanjokes.com/joke-37-the-dog-and-the-rabbit/ |

facilitate conversations between you, your partner and the health professionals so that you can obtain all the information and choices you need to make an informed decision.
After the birth, we meet with you at your home, as well as provide you with email support in the early weeks. Lynda has an extensive breastfeeding counselling experience and can provide you with in-depth breastfeeding support. We also provide information on normal baby behaviour, sleep issues, baby wearing, accessing local services and more.
Another important aspect of post-birth recovery is birth debriefing of your experience. Sometimes this is a fluid process and you may want to talk about your experience at different times – especially in that first year. Initially getting together with you and your partner can help this process. Journaling during that first year is also extremely beneficial. You may find that you remember different aspects of your birth differently as the year progresses. We are more than happy to meet with you “later down the track” too.
As doulas, we can also provide one-of sessions to provide information and support. We are also able to put together post-natal support packages upon request. | 2019-04-26T11:53:58 | http://www.chrysalisbirth.com/what-does-a-doula-do.html |

Corporate events are vital components for businesses, as they ensure that businessmen and businesswomen have an important platform to come together and share ideas. Corporate event planning requires a different kind of planning than parties, however, and there is an increased pressure to ensure that all attendees enjoy themselves.
Having a positive event will help you to have further success in future events, so we have compiled a few suggestions of what you should and shouldn’t do when planning a corporate event.
Entertainment is a needed component in events, regardless of what form suits your event the best. Whether you have several speakers or a band playing, you will need to consider several factors such as stage hire and dancefloor hire.
At Monitor Lighting, we ensure that you have the professional hire of every component needed to guarantee that your corporate event runs smoothly.
Booking your corporate event near a holiday will increase the prices of venues and lower event attendance. A Friday or a Monday is also typically not good days to choose, as people often leave for long weekends with their families. Similarly, summer months need to be considered carefully, as it is a season where most people take their holidays. You want to make sure people attend your event, and trying to plan yours for after the vacation season is always a good idea.
You’ve worked out your budget and you know exactly how much to spend on everything you need, plus a bit of emergency money. It can be tempting to go over budget but, unless strictly needed, there’s no point in going extravagant and wasting your money.
Planning the event is, of course, extremely important. But so is being there on the day or days. You want to ensure everything goes well, and that’s not limited to great planning. Being present at the event on the day will make sure that you can tackle any unexpected issues.
Get in touch with us to know more about our services! We’re always happy to help you find the perfect solutions for your event. Give us a call on 07950 729708 or 01206 820212, and we’ll make sure that your corporate events in Essex and London are completely covered with everything you need to give you piece of mind. | 2019-04-21T06:12:03 | https://www.monitorlighting.co.uk/the-dos-and-donts-of-corporate-event-planning/ |

On April 2012, the state of Colorado expanded Medicaid to include adults without dependent children with incomes at or below 10% of the Federal Poverty Level.

Sophomore Chad Krys, whose two third-period goals provided all the scoring in a 2-0 shutout of Providence, was named Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week. Classmate Jake Oettinger was named to the weekly list of top performers.
After splitting two games this past weekend, the Terriers slipped to #15 in the USCHO Weekly Poll and to #16 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll. With Denver losing twice to Western Michigan, St. Cloud is the new #1 in both polls.
Freshman Shane Bowers' draft rights were traded from Ottawa to Colorado in a three-way deal that sent the Avs Matt Duchene to the Senators and Kyle Turris to Nashville. Bowers, a first-round pick of Ottawa in this past June’s draft, joins former Terriers Colin Wilson, Matt Nieto, A.J. Greer and David Warsofsky in the Colorado organization.
SB Nation’s Jeff Cox analyzes the Terriers' early-season struggles, noting puck possession woes, lack of production from the bottom six and lack of experience in key positions, as well as a positive note in Jordan Greenway’s recent efforts.
Senior forward Nikolas Olsson has been suspended for one game due to a head contact penalty in Saturday’s game that resulted in a game misconduct. He’s eligible to return for Saturday’s game against New Hampshire.

2020 recruits Dylan Peterson and Donovan Sebrango assisted on the game-winning goal in CIHA Voyageurs White’s 4-1 win over Brockville U18s.
2020 recruit and Cape Whalers 16U goalie Drew Commesso turned aside all Junior Bruins shots, except one, as the Whalers skated to a 6-1 win in their final Mass Selects Tier 1 league game. Led by Commesso’s 6-0-1 record and 1.86 GAA, the Whalers will play in the Massachusetts 16U state tournament next weekend. The 6’1” goalie will begin his sophomore season at St. Sebastian’s, where he posted a 1.77 GAA and a .932 save percentage last year.
Clayton Keller’s 11th goal—tops among NHL rookies and #4 overall—gave Arizona a 1-0 lead over Washington, but the Caps rallied for a 3-2 overtime win. Keller blocked a shot at the blueline and was off to the races for an unassisted tally.
Kevin Shattenkirk scored his fifth goal of the season and added his 10th assist in the Rangers’ 5-3 win over Columbus. The former BU All-American and captain has three goals and five assists in his past five games as the Rangers have rebounded from a slow start.
Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Providence’s 5-0 win against Hartford.

My normal line of amateur study is in botany, however, this year I have taken to photographing the insect life of Britain within 20 miles of my home in the Peak District, Derbyshire. This afternoon I had been carrying out a task in the garden, when I saw a strange spider on my shed door. This I believe to be a female of the species Dicranopalpus ramosus. I took a photograph of this spider, but as yet I'm not sure how to upload them to the forum. | 2019-04-25T16:58:10 | http://srs.britishspiders.org.uk/portal.php/p/Forum/r/view/s/201110 |
A view over Cacouna from the church belfry, around 1900. In the foreground, the house and post office of notary Jean-Baptiste Beaulieu.
The notary Jean-Baptiste Beaulieu (1842-1896) was a merchant who also served as postmaster and secretary-treasurer for the school board, parish and village of Cacouna. His home was across the street from the church, always bustling on Sundays, and not far from the shoemakers, Guerette et Frève, and another merchant, François-Xavier Côté. People from Cacouna’s five concession roads frequented his house, where, with help from two of his children, he had set up his notary office, a small store and the post office in 1854. His son Jean-Baptiste, also a notary by profession and the owner two schooners, the Marie-Rose (1873) and the Emérillon (1874), supplied food for the store and helped out at the post office. His other son Thomas served customers in the store. In 1891, Thomas Dionne was hired as assistant postmaster. He was responsible for receiving, sorting and distributing the mail for Cacouna’s residents and visitors.
The west side of Cacouna village, around 1925.
In 1898, Elie Hudon, dit Beaulieu purchased the house, where his descendants continued to live and farm the land. Each of the three generations of Beaulieus that lived here produced a mayor for the village, and provided the church with excellent choristers.

Haunting and Melancholic are two words that can definitely be used to describe the songs that Norwegian musician Bjørn Riis has delivered on his last two solo releases, ‘Lullabies In A Car Crash’ and ‘Forever Comes To An End’. There is a fragile beauty and poignancy to Bjørn’s songwriting that gives it a captivating, hypnotic attraction.
Airbag co-founder, songwriter and lead guitarist, Bjørn will release his new mini album titled ‘Coming Home’ next month on Karisma Records. His unique guitar playing has a centre role, with soaring leads and beautiful textures.
“I’ve always felt that the guitar is an extension of me and a more comfortable and natural way of expressing myself musically” – Bjørn explains.
“I’m really happy and proud of the vocals this time and the duet with me and (Norwegian singer) Sichelle on Drowning is very emotional” – Bjørn continues.
Lyrically, ‘Coming Home’ deals with the fear and insecurity of being forgotten by the people around you. You imagine all these dramatic scenes and wonder if you’ll ever be missed if something really was to happen.
‘Coming Home’ also features a newly recorded semi-acoustic version of the title track of Bjørn’s 2014 solo debut, ‘Lullabies in a Car Crash’ (Karisma Records). “Lullabies just fit right into the mood and theme of this album. It’s almost become a new song. It’s very honest and moving” – Bjørn explains. The track features Airbag and Bjørn Riis Band touring guitarist Ole Michael Bjørndal on lead guitar.
‘Coming Home’ is almost like a story where the scene is set by the brooding and darkly hued opening instrumental track Daybreak. A real slow burner, it takes a while to get moving with just a building sound that reminds you of a bleak and windswept vista before the deliberate, musing guitar fills the soundscape with a contemplative feel.
A sparse acoustic guitar washes over at the start of title track Coming Home, Bjørn’s slightly faltering vocal is full of emotion as this elegant track continues to gently lull you with its charms. A more laid back feel than the previous album emanates from every note and word as the music seems to meander towards an unseen destination. There’s a slight pause before Bjørn delivers a superb, note perfect guitar solo filled with passion and longing, one that soars high and free as a bird. As the song comes to a close I feel some kind of nostalgic yearning that I just can’t explain.
The wistful, contemplative tone continues with the fantastic Drowning, a song filled with feelings of loss and recrimination but one that still has a sense of wonder about it. The calm and serenity of the guitar and Bjørn’s vocal that open the track can’t shake an underlying aura of foreboding. Sichelle’s vocals add a fragile grace to the harmonies and the music gains added intensity, the guitar giving urgency and desperation to proceedings until it breaks like waves on immovable rocks. Sichelle takes us towards the end with a voice full of regret, the guitar adding a somber accompaniment as we come to a close.
Tonight’s The Night is a haunting (there you go, I told you!) instrumental that has you on the edge of your seat from the first note with its insistent piano and tense , ill at ease mood. There is no let up from beginning to end and I found myself visibly relaxing as the song came to an end.
The acoustic version of ‘Lullabies in a Car Crash’ unsurprisingly has a lighter tone to the other songs, a sepia-tinged piece of music underpinned by a wonderful acoustic guitar. The vocals are gossamer light giving the whole song a 70’s carefree spirit before a subtly powerful guitar solo gets under your skin and takes you to a place of utmost calm and reflection, without a care in the world. A remarkably honest reworking of the original track, it really is like a completely new song.
‘Coming Home’ feels like a very personal collection of songs, full of emotion, haunting and charismatic yet sparser and darker than Bjørn’s previous solo releases. Like all the best music, it needs to be listened to with little or no distractions to enjoy it in all its highly impressive glory. Bjørn Riis is one of those musicians who just gets better and better with each release, highly recommended.
An Airbag is a device designed to save your life or reduce injury in the event of a collision.
Can music save your life? Who knows?
But life does does bring us in to collisions with all sorts of unexpected events and we try to find ways to survive or at least lessen the impacts. From the sound and themes of Bjørn Riis’ second solo album, ‘Forever Comes to an End’ , it does seem evident that perhaps life has been impacting upon him deeply, reflected in an emotional release. Emotion is not a word usually associated with the sweeping, glacial Floydian soundscapes so beloved of Airbag, but Bjørn Riis has successfully created a more personalised album, infused with fragile feelings and delicate melodies alongside his trademark architectural sonic structures.
In The Waves there is a fragility and emotional intensity in Riis’ voice, akin to Tim Bowness of No-Man, which gives this album a sense of honest emotion and humanity, born from personal experiences, and moves parts of this album away from the now predictable trademark Floyd style so successfully produced by Airbag on their albums. The Waves wistfully fades as the tide of the song recedes with echoes of the cinematic soundscapes of Thomas Newman film scores.
Instrumental Getaway slowly builds and builds, with layers of guitars across a sweeping canvas on synths, until a break of echoing keys and percussion is glided over by an icy guitar line. The driving rock theme returns with added wah-wah guitar, outstanding drums and riffs that more than hint at Porcupine Tree, that all add up to quite a thrilling ride. Calm shimmers with delicate beauty with a simple piano motif and acoustic guitars over lain with flute sounding keys, and then the whole piece eventually drifts away in to the distance, virtually acting as a beautiful introduction into Winter, the centrepiece of the whole album.
This remarkable piece develops with increasing intensity as Riis builds with beautiful musical textures and Sichelle Mcmeo Aksum adds a female delicacy to the vocals, alongside Riis. The inevitable Gilmour like soaring lead guitar parts are used sparingly but effectively. Riis’ guitar is the main ‘voice’ in Winter as he uses it intuitively to emotionally express probably what words sometimes cannot say about broken relationships. A lovely bass line with uncanny echoes of Porcupine Tree’s classic ‘Dark Matter’ underpins the gradual elegiac disintegration of this great song.
A simple but touching piano melody by Simen Valldal Johannessen introduces Riis’ finely judged emotional vocal in the final heart-breaking song Where Are You Now. Flute like keyboards float over a gradually building theme before Riis emotively illustrates this emotional song with a glistening, gliding guitar solo. The song and album finishes as Riis’ fragile vocals lead to the simple stark beauty of the opening piano motif. Heart break seldom sounds so beautiful.
There will be inevitable comparisons by some to later Pink Floyd, and fans of that band will find much to admire and touch them in this album. Sonically the production is perfect – this drips with feeling and atmosphere. Some of the songs would also not sound out of place on an Airbag album, which is inevitable considering Riis’ main role in that band. However, there is much more to ‘Forever Comes to an End’ than a Floyd pastiche or just an Airbag album by another name. Riis has really put his heart on the line on this release and such emotion exudes from the imaginative music and heartfelt lyrics on this intensely personal album.
Will this album save your life?
Very probably not, but like an Airbag ‘Forever Comes to an End’ may very well stop you getting a headache (!!) and will certainly help you deal with the collisions and impacts of what life throws at us.
I like music that is written with love and dedication, not music that is written for the sole purpose of making some fat cats rich. I love music that has meaning, substance and aspiration, that has come from deep in the heart and soul of the artists creating it.
Music moves me, succors me and mirrors my life through good and bad. I would be fair to say that, if it wasn’t for music, I wouldn’t be the rounded person I am today (no sniggering at the back thank you!).
There are certain bands that have delivered a new piece of wonder at exactly the right time, just when I need it to get through a difficult period. One of those was the Norwegian progressive rock band Airbag when they released their 2013 album ‘The Greatest Show On Earth’.
Airbag was formed in 2004 by 5 class mates from Oslo, Bjørn Riis (lead guitar), Asle Tostrup (lead vocals & rhythm guitar), Jørgen Hagen (keyboards), Anders Hovdan (bass) and Henrik Fossum (drums). The band released 3 EPs over the next 4 years before 2009 saw the release of ‘Identity’, the album consisting, mainly, of tracks released on 2 of the EPs.
The further release of 2011’s ‘All Rights Removed’ saw the band gain a solid following and reputation among both fans and the press which was cemented by their most successful release to date, the previously mentioned ‘Greatest Show On Earth’. Airbag has also become a solid live-act playing at several major festivals and as support and in double-bills with bands like Marillion, Anathema, Pineapple Thief, Riverside, RPWL and Gazpacho.
“‘Disconnected’ features six songs reflecting on the theme of alienation between the individual and society, what society expects from us as individuals, and our resultant failure to live up to those expectations. Each of the six compositions depicts the state of feeling on ‘the outside’ and out of touch with oneself and those around us.
Opening track Killer sounds very U2 like with the chiming guitar riff and metronomic drums driving it along, illusive keyboards adding a sophisticated backdrop. Bjørn Riis’ guitar is subtle in its delivery, stylish and urbane before Asle Tostrup’s instantly recognisable voice takes up the story. Full of emotion and sentiment, it washes over you with its velveteen aura. I find myself immediately drawn into this smart and urbane soundscape, enticed by the smooth brilliance of the music. Bjørn delivers a gorgeous solo, full of pent up passion and elation, that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck before the track segues into an instrumental section of depth and empathy that transfixes you on the spot. Anders Hovdan and Henrik Fossum provide a rhythm section par-excellence, unobtrusive and yet paramount to Airbag’s signature sound and the dynamic and powerful close to the track is superb with Bjørn’s spine tingling guitar hypnotising you.
Broken begins in a much more subdued fashion, a lonely acoustic guitar providing the plaintive, sparse soundtrack. It is quite mesmerising and that feeling intensifies as Asle’s wistfully mournful voice joins the fray. A wandering guitar note and delicate drums join with Jørgen’s ghostly keyboards to paint a refined scene before you. The tempo increases and the guitar seems to cry a lament before the vocals add a real heartfelt timbre to this rarefied song. I sat myself down in near darkness with my headphones on and a glass of red wine to listen to this track and it suited the mood perfectly, sombre and contemplative. The unhurried grace and delicate wonder that this track imbues leaves you caught in a moment, unable and unwilling to move on, as Bjørn’s dreamy yet mournful and meditative guitar takes centre stage. Seven minutes of pure grace comes to a somber close and you let the silence envelop you, secure in your solitude.
Darkly mysterious sounds open Slave in an enigmatic and cryptic fashion. A slow building and slow burning introduction that puts you on edge before Asle’s vocals add an even more secretive edge to proceedings. A deliciously cabalistic guitar tone from Bjørn sets your teeth on edge and the slow, monotonous nature of the drums does nothing to calm the nerves. Like a supine irresistible force this song continues to seduce your darker side and drag you into its open arms, enslaving your body and soul. The deviant wandering guitar spirals around your mind, indoctrinating you with its hidden mantra leaving you unsettled and yet oddly satisfied. You wouldn’t willingly invite it into your embrace but are strangely comforted when you do.
A nostalgic and nomadic tone envelops the opening to Sleepwalker, unhurried and stress free, the delicate acoustic guitar and lush keys add to the artful drums and bass to provide a perfect backing to Asle’s humble and unpretentious voice to enshroud everything with a feeling of calm and composed serenity. Periodically the song blossoms with the power of the understated guitar adding sheen to the earnest vocals, a perfect counterpoint. Once again Bjørn lavishes a truly emotive guitar solo upon us, one that seems to flood your very being with its passion and fervour and the track closes out with a composed and unruffled ending.
Disconnected is the longest track on the album and this title track is full of complexity, elegance and composure. The introduction leaves an aura of anticipation before the tentative vocals increase the expectancy. A compelling and persuasive chorus adds a further note of desire and hunger as this deeply perceptive and profound song reveals its hidden depths and convoluted layers. Every musician is on top form but Bjørn seems to give his guitar a life of its own as it entrances and entices with its rapturous delights. This marvelous musical mosaic takes you on a journey of enlightenment and discovery where you find something new and different at every turn. The final guitar solo is bewitching and addictive with every note and you are left with a massive feeling of fulfillment when this stunning song finally comes to a close.
The final track on the album, Returned, seems to take Steven Wilson at his best and improve on it. A really beautiful melody with jangling guitars and a dreamlike aura, it has an inherent nostalgic finesse and celestial allure to it. The vocals are heartfelt and sincere and the music just seems to wash over you to leave you in a state of hushed tranquility and peacefulness. This is songwriting that moves you and affects your very being and is a wonderful way to close out this outstanding musical release.
Once again Airbag have produced a collection of songs that have moved me to my very core. Every word they write has an inherent meaning and every note is in the perfect place. This is music for the soul that has come from the soul and, as such, will stay with you forever. A complex, absorbing and enthralling fifty minutes that you must have in your life as it will be so better for it. | 2019-04-18T14:20:01 | https://www.progradar.org/index.php/tag/airbag/ |
Last night, as I was spending some time with the Lord, this verse (Psalm 107:7-9) was literally shoved in front of my eyes. My friends who really know me will not be surprised about this, but I passed this verse three times before I realized that maybe, just MAYBE, the Lord was trying to show me something. THREE TIMES. Sheesh.
The NIV version says “He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle.” So I took some time last night, a lot of time, to ask God to help me settle. If He has led me here, then He will settle me. My home. My life. My heart. | 2019-04-23T08:41:43 | http://www.anniefdowns.com/2008/10/09/settle/ |
Drawing from a lifetime rich in experience and wisdom, Kim Illig offers a unique blend of healing for her clients. She brings together her most current training as a Certified Intuitive Counselor with her past trainings as a Hellerwork Practitioner and as a nurse to bring a unique educational and healing experience to a wide variety of individuals and groups.
Since she was 10 years old and wrote her first report on the human circulatory system, Kim has remained fascinated by the workings of the human systems. In 1975, she became a nurse and worked in a busy orthopedic clinic where she learned extensively about how the body moves and heals. In 1980, Kim took time off from her profession to focus on her new job as a mother.
In 1986, more interested than ever in body healing, Kim was introduced to the bodywork modality of Hellerwork. It was working within this discipline that allowed her to integrate structural bodywork, movement education, and self-awareness dialogue; all keys to living to your full potential.
In 1999 her passionate interest focused on the Intuitive System. Realizing the validity of the unseen world, she studied many years with Caroline Myss and Norm Shealy about how to encourage people’s healing journey by making their personal energy management a high priority.
She understands that the body was designed to move fluidly, to have stamina and strength, and to be a pleasure to live in. Yet, for so many people, pain, physical deterioration, emotional suffering, and problems associated with aging exist. Also, beliefs that are unconscious and that have out lived their usefulness can contribute to a person’s discomfort; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Kim’s desire and commitment is ‘to invite people to live from their passion’ and she strives to ’empower people to be impassioned with their work and with their healing.’ She draws from teachings by healers and teachers such as Caroline Myss, Norm Shealy, Angeles Arrien, Starhawk, Christiane Northrup, and Carolyn Conger and Karla McLaren.
Kim, through her expansive array of life experiences, invites you to deepen your understanding of how you enliven your body, interact with others, and participate in and direct your personal life journey with her compassionate and skilled guidance through Intuitive Counseling, Study Courses on Personal Energy Management, Health Consulting. | 2019-04-19T02:49:53 | https://www.myss.com/profiles/kim-illig/ |

First you must log into your online casino account and select the pokie you want to play from the pokies section of the games menu. When the pokie opens it would be with the default betting parameters. You should know how to reset these parameters to your liking.
In general there are three parameters that need to be set, though it is not necessary that all three would be applicable for each online pokie. The first is the number of paylines. In some online pokies you have to wager with all paylines activated. In that case there is nothing that you need to do in this regard. Otherwise you have to activate from one to the maximum number of paylines. You really need not pondered too much over this, because the correct way to play online pokies is with all paylines enabled.
Some online pokies allow you to bet only one coin per payline. In such pokies this option is redundant. In other pokies you have to select the number of coins you want to wager. This decision has to be taken in conjunction with the next parameter, which is coin dimension or value. Usually the pokie will have certain coin dimensions from which you choose one. The product of the coin dimension and number of coins is the line bet. All line payouts are based on this bet. The line bet multiplied by the number of paylines activated give the total bet per spin. Scatter payouts are based on the total bet. You should choose that combination of coin dimension and a number of coins that gives you a total bet which is suited to your bankroll. The exact manner in which you select these three parameters varies from online pokie to online pokie. However, it is always made apparent on the main screen or in the game rules.
Once you have finalized the betting parameters the total bet is deducted from your account balance. Then you click the Spin button and set the reels in motion. When the reels stop the software will automatically check if you have any winning combinations as are specified in the payout table. If so, then these payouts will be aggregated and added to your account balance. You are then ready for your next spin.
If you have triggered any bonus features in the spin, then these will be played out before you can activate the next spin. One of the common bonus features is the free spins round. In some online pokies you may have to select one free spins offer from those given. Or you may have to pick some objects that will reveal the number of free spins you win. In that case you will have to carry out these activities before proceeding to the free spins feature. Another common bonus feature is known as the game on the second screen. You will be taken to a different screen where you will have to perform certain activities as indicated. These will lead you to win bonus credits. After the bonus feature is played out you are returned to the main game. | 2019-04-19T22:29:17 | https://www.onlinecasinoaustralian.com/pokies/how-to-play.htm |

The current issue of ANS has three important editorial messages that ANS readers will not want to miss. My own editorial, titled “Editorial Standards of Quality: Examining Patterns of Health in Scholarly Publishing,” is part of the International Academy of Nursing Editor’s initiative focused on exposing the practices of predatory publishers, and affirming the high editorial standards that characterize credible and reliable journals. If you have not yet examined this important issue, read this editorial and the resources that I reference in it. You can also refer to my recent blog addressing the broad topic of open access publishing, a credible publishing model founded on the intent to make scientific research freely available to all. However digital open access publishing has also opened the door to editorial practices by some that compromise editorial standards, and it is incumbent on all scholars to be fully informed about these practices in order to distinguish which practices are sound and which are not.
Dr. Mickey Eliason, a leading scholar in the area of LGBT health, examines the influence of neoliberalism in shaping health behavior in her guest editorial titled “Neoliberalism and Health.” Dr. Eliason focuses on the neoliberal ideal of individualism and examines how this ideal creates the tendency to overlook contextual, upstream factors that shape patterns of health behavior. Essentially, Dr. Eliason takes a critical look at the upstream factors that shape patterns of scholarship, and how researchers can resist the tendency to study individual factors without adequately integrating contextual factors.
Dr. Richard Cowling has also contributed a guest editorial to this issue titled “Contextualizing Patterns of Health Behavior: A Unitary-Emancipatory-Transformative Perspective.” Dr. Cowling also addresses the necessity of contextualizing health behavior in the quest to reach for wholeness. He explains that wholeness can only be fully appreciated from a perspective that fully integrates the contexts in which human behavior occurs.
All of these editorials are available at no cost on the ANS web site. Visit the web site now to download your copy, and return here to share your own perspectives and ideas.
Thank you Mickey for your thoughtful and challenging editorial. Nursing education has at times, in its necessary focus on the humanity of the person we work with, ignored the wider social context. The determinants that impact on patients/clients/service users also impact on clinicians – until we are more aware of these we only wonder why, despite lots of activity, nothing seems to improve.
I am now wondering how to weave your ideas to challenge undergraduate nursing students as well as a required lens in research. | 2019-04-26T04:14:23 | https://ansjournalblog.com/2015/02/13/editorial-messages-contexts-and-patterns-of-health-behavior/ |
Planning a trip to Tajikistan?
Tajikistan is the poorest Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) country and one of the poorest countries in the world. Foreign revenue is precariously dependent upon exports of cotton and aluminum, and on remittances from Tajik migrant workers abroad, mainly in Russia. The economy is highly vulnerable to external shocks. Despite this, Tajikistan managed modest growth during the height of the recent economic crisis, and growth picked up again in 2010.
Tajikistan has great hydropower potential, and has focused on attracting investment for projects for internal use and electricity exports. Meanwhile, the country faces severe electricity shortages, particularly during the winter and beyond, when most of Tajikistan's inhabitants receive little or no electricity for weeks at a time. The government sees the construction of the massive Roghun hydroelectric dam as the solution to the country’s chronic energy woes, but the dam has been a source of increasing friction with Uzbekistan.
Tajikistan has followed a relatively strict fiscal and monetary policy, which has resulted in macroeconomic stability. However, government interference in the economy and massive corruption stifle economic growth and private investment. The government has attracted state-led investment for major infrastructure projects, particularly from China, rather than implementing the necessary economic reforms to attract private investors. Two-thirds of the workforce of Tajikistan is in agriculture, where wages are abysmally low, and sometimes non-existent. Tajikistan struggles to implement agricultural reforms that would allow many farmers to grow the crop of their choice, rather than being forced to grow cotton, as has been the practice from Soviet times. Income from narcotics trafficking, while difficult to quantify, has an increasingly visible impact on the Tajik economy.
Nominal GDP: $5.64 billion (2010); $6.83 billion (2011 est.).
Nominal per capita GDP (2010): $752.
Per capita GDP (purchasing power parity, 2009): $2,104.
GDP real growth rate: 6.5% (2010); 5.8% (2011 est.).
Headline CPI inflation rate (end-of-year): 9.8% (2010); 12.6% (2011 est.).
Work force (2010, CIA World Factbook): The official work force is 2.1 million. The actual number of working age citizens is closer to 4 million. As many as half of all working age males, and an increasing number of females, seek jobs outside of the country, primarily in Russia.
Official unemployment rate (2009, CIA World Factbook): 2.2%. The official rate is estimated based on the number of registered unemployment benefit recipients; it does not take into account the significant number of people who seek work abroad. According to the State Statistics Agency, 11.5% of the working age population is unemployed. Underemployment also is very high--possibly as high as 40% of the work force; 53% live below the poverty line according to the World Bank.
Agriculture: Products--cotton, grain, fruits, grapes, vegetables; cattle, sheep, goats.
Industry: Types--aluminum, zinc, lead, chemicals and fertilizers, cement, vegetable oil, textiles, metal-cutting machine tools, refrigerators and freezers.
Trade (World Bank data): Imports (2009)--$2.8 billion: aluminum, electricity, cotton, gold, fruits, vegetable oil, textiles. Main import partners include Russia, China, Iran, Uzbekistan. Exports (2009)--$1.2 billion: electricity, petroleum products, aluminum oxide, machinery and equipment, foodstuffs. Export partners include Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, China, Ukraine, and Turkmenistan.
Total public and publicly guaranteed external debt: $1.941 billion (2010); $2.261 billion (2011 projection).
Debt/GDP ratio: 33.4% (2010 est.); 33.1% (2011 est.).
At 36'40' northern latitude and 41'14' eastern longitude, Tajikistan is nestled between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to the north and west, China to the east, and Afghanistan to the south. Tajikistan is home to some of the highest mountains in the world, including the Pamir and Alay ranges. Ninety-three percent of Tajikistan is mountainous with altitudes ranging from 1,000 feet to 27,000 feet, with nearly 50% of Tajikistan's territory above 10,000 feet. Earthquakes are of varying degrees and are frequent. The massive mountain ranges are cut by hundreds of canyons and gorges at the bottom of which run streams which flow into larger river valleys where the majority of the country's population lives and works. The principal rivers of Central Asia, the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya, both flow through Tajikistan, fed by melting snow from mountains of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Flooding and landslides sometimes occur during the annual Spring thaw. Official Name: Republic of Tajikistan Area: 143,100 sq. km. Capital: Dushanbe. Terrain: Pamir and Alay mountains dominate landscape; western Ferghana valley in north, Kofarnihon and Vakhsh Valleys in southwest. Climate: Mid-latitude continental, hot summers, mild winters; semiarid to polar in Pamir mountains.
The Republic of Tajikistan gained its independence during the breakup of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) on September 9, 1991 and soon fell into a civil war. From 1992 to 1997 internal fighting ensued between old-guard regionally based ruling elites and disenfranchised regions, democratic liberal reformists, and Islamists loosely organized in a United Tajik Opposition (UTO). Other combatants and armed bands that flourished in this civil chaos simply reflected the breakdown of central authority rather than loyalty to a political faction. The height of hostilities occurred between 1992 and 1993. By 1997, the predominantly Kulyabi-led Tajik Government and the UTO had negotiated a power-sharing peace accord and implemented it by 2000. Once guaranteed 30% of government positions, former oppositionists have almost entirely been removed from government as President Rahmon has consolidated power.
The last Russian border guards protecting Tajikistan's 1,344 km border with Afghanistan completed their withdrawal in July 2005. Russia maintains its military presence in Tajikistan with the basing of the Russian 201st Motorized Rifle Division that never left Tajikistan when it became independent. Most of these Russian-led forces, however, are local Tajik noncommissioned officers and soldiers.
Tajikistan's most recent parliamentary elections in 2010 and its 2006 presidential election were considered to be flawed and unfair but peaceful. The parliamentary elections, in which the ruling party secured 55 of the 63 seats, failed to meet many key Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) standards on democratic elections, and some observers saw them as even worse than the flawed 2005 elections. In June 2003, Tajikistan held a flawed referendum to enact a package of constitutional changes, including a provision to allow President Rahmon the possibility of re-election to up to two additional 7-year terms after his term expired in 2006.
Lack of transparency in the legislative process and significant concerns regarding due process demonstrate the weakness of civil society in the country. Corruption is pervasive, and numerous observers have noted that power has been consolidated into the hands of a relatively small number of individuals.
Tajikistan established an embassy in Washington, DC in temporary offices in February 2003, and formally opened its first permanent chancery building in March 2004.

The current Tajik Republic hearkens back to the Samanid Empire (A.D. 875-999), which ruled what is now Tajikistan as well as territory to the south and west, as its role model and name for its currency. During their reign, the Samanids supported the revival of the written Persian language in the wake of the Arab Islamic conquest in the early 8th century and played an important role in preserving the culture of the pre-Islamic Persian-speaking world. They were the last Persian-speaking empire to rule Central Asia. The expanding Russian Empire encompassed the territory that is now Tajikistan, along with most of the rest of Central Asia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Russian rule collapsed briefly after the Russian Revolution of 1917, as the Bolsheviks consolidated their power and were embroiled in a civil war in other regions of the former Russian Empire. As the Bolsheviks attempted to regain Central Asia in the 1920s, an indigenous Central Asian resistance movement based in the Ferghana Valley, the "Basmachi movement," resisted but was largely eliminated by 1925. Tajikistan became fully established under Soviet control with the creation of Tajikistan as an autonomous Soviet socialist republic within Uzbekistan in 1924, and as an independent Soviet socialist republic in 1929. The northern Sughd region, previously part of the Uzbek republic, was added to the Tajik republic at this time.
Contemporary Tajiks are the descendants of various ancient Iranian inhabitants of Central Asia, in particular the Soghdians and the Bactrians, and possibly other groups, with an admixture of Mongols and Turkic peoples. The largely Shi’a inhabitants of the Pamir mountains speak a number of mutually unintelligible eastern Iranian dialects quite distinct from the Tajik spoken in the rest of the country. Until the 20th century, people in the region tended to identify themselves more by way of life--nomadic versus sedentary--and place of residence than by ethnic group. The distinction between ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks was not always precise, and people in the region often used--and continue to use--each other's languages. The Soviets tended to reify ethnicity, and drew Central Asian republican boundaries so that they balanced ethnic representation in fertile areas such as the Ferghana Valley while also making large-scale ethnic mobilization difficult.
Population (July 2010 estimate): 7,627,200.
Population growth rate (2010 estimate): 1.846%.
Ethnic groups: Tajik 80%, Uzbek 15%, Russian and others 5%.
Religion (2010 Embassy est.): Sunni Muslim 85%, Shi'a Muslim 5%, other 10%.
Language: Tajik (the official state language as of 1994, with followup legislation in 2009); Russian is widely used in government and business; 74% of the population lives in rural communities where mostly Tajik is spoken.
Education: Literacy--99.5%. The Tajik education system has been struggling through a period of decline since independence, however, and some evidence suggests functional literacy is much lower.
Health (2010 est.): Life expectancy--62.97 years men; 69.25 years women. Infant mortality rate--38.54 deaths/1,000 live births. | 2019-04-23T14:58:42 | https://www.traveldocs.com/world-atlas/Tajikistan-atlas218 |

Kurtzman as show runner, and here writers Ted Sullivan and Aaron Harberts & Gretchen M. Berg (earlier show runners later kicked off the staff for unreasonable behaviour), pick up from the Season 1 cliffhanger of the Discovery coming face to face with the legendary USS Enterprise by finding a handy solution to the problem of who will be the ship’s new Captain – enter Anson Mount as Christopher Pike (he does a great job, by the way), the original Captain of the Enterprise’s five year mission before the days of James T. Kirk’s immortalised crew, who fits the template of what everyone expects a Starfleet Captain to be: male, white, square-jawed, all-American and innately noble. “I’m not Lorca” is one of the first things he says to the crew.
Discoveryalso strives to detach as much as possible from the complexities of the Season 1 narrative, which awkwardly veered from the mire of a dour conflict with the Klingon Empire, the exploitation of space creatures to fuel a new propulsion system, and a pulpy period being stranded in the Mirror Universe under the yoke of the fascist Terran Empire. Season 1, in retrospect, all feels akin to a prequel story before the traditional Star Trek adventure begins with ‘Brother’ and a narrative kicks off which allows for exploration, mystery, a fair dose of technobabble, and the crew functioning like a crew on a streamlined story – all of which was often absent in many episodes last year.
As a result, while ‘Brother’ is reassuring television, and will likely be very popular among Star Trek purists, it resets Discovery a little from operating as a trend setter pushing the franchise forward into not just uncharted space, but uncharted narrative territory. Season 1 often felt edgy and difficult, sometimes even unknowable – it takes a few watches to bed in, for your expectations to adjust to the fact this isn’t your Dad’s Star Trek, that it’s more of a fusion of JJ Abrams’ Kelvin Timeline sheen and spectacle with a modern science-fiction bent. Season 2, on this evidence, will be more Star Trek Beyond than Star Trek ’09, to use a crude comparison – enjoyable and entertaining but familiar and safer.
‘Brother’ also naturally is dominated by the Vulcan-sized elephant in the room that is the iconic Commander Spock, Michael Burnham’s foster-brother who also, of course, is XO of Pike’s dry-docked Enterprise, and the central emotional core of family and distance (as displayed in the touching dynamic between Tilley, rapidly becoming the series’ heart, and engineer Stamets, planning to move on to evade his grief), is arced around Burnham’s difficult relationship with Spock. Though we see the character only in childhood flashbacks and hear him on a recording, Spock’s presence dominates the episode like a looming shadow. If the show isn’t careful, he may come to overshadow the entire season.
This is where Discovery has to watch where it treads in Season 2. It is already a show built heavily on 1960’s nostalgia infused with modern storytelling sensibility, in a similar manner to Abrams’ rebooted movies, but introducing the Enterprise and Pike’s crew only serves to increase that tenfold, especially in exploring an era of Spock’s history we have never before seen. In many ways, Spock is and always has been Star Trek – he is the one character who could define this franchise more than any other, and Discovery appears now to be building a season of storytelling around Burnham’s relationship with him.
Time will tell how well this works. ‘Brother’ plays nicely as an opener, setting up a plot which will allow Discovery to explore space in the way Season 1’s more aggressive narrative wouldn’t, with plenty of nice character beats and a sense the ensemble is beginning to expand, but familiarity can sometimes breed contempt. Discovery hopefully can blend Star Trek storytelling we know and love with the boundaries it dared to push in its first year as it warps off into its second. | 2019-04-26T06:11:29 | https://theculturalconversation.com/2019/01/19/star-trek-discovery-brother-2x01/ |
If you work at a company that publishes a lot of content, it’s important to understand how well that content is performing. Not just in terms of page views and unique visitors, but whether it converts visitors into trials, etc.
At Help Scout we have a Looker dashboard to help us track all of these things and more. In this post, I’ll walk you through how we track the daily unique visitors to our recently published blog posts. For example, on May 2nd we published April’s Release Notes – how many people viewed that post on the day it was published? How about the day after? And how does that compare to our other recently published content?
Big picture, we fire a Viewed Page Mixpanel event on every marketing page. We then use Fivetran to get that event data into BigQuery, where we analyze it in Looker. You can read more about the setup here: Tracking What Pages Your Visitors View Prior to Signing Up Using Mixpanel, Fivetran, BigQuery, and Looker.
With this data in hand, we need to figure out a way to determine what the recent blog posts were so that we can limit our analysis to them.
For Help Scout blog URLs (ie, URLs that begin with https://www.helpscout.net/blog/), we need to determine when the post was published. That’s the same as the first day it was viewed. However, because we launched Mixpanel page view tracking on April 3rd, this would make it look like every one of our posts was published on April 3rd or sometime after that. That’s why we limit the results to April 4th or later. Also, we want to limit it to posts that received at least a certain number of visitors that first day, otherwise the results will wind up including low traffic posts that were first viewed after April 4th.
The reason we have the is_new_blog_content dimension here is because we’re going to LEFT JOIN all Mixpanel events on this derived table by the URL. Not all URLs will have a match in this table, so this dimension will let us limit the analysis to just events that were a recently published blog post.
With these foundations in place, we can then create the chart we set out to.
Going forward, without anyone having to log into Google Analyics, we’ll be able to track the popularity of our new blog posts and track the trends over time.
By the way, that spike on April 19th is from our CEO’s Beacon 2.0 Preview: The User Interface post, all about Help Scout’s soon-to-be-released live chat & improved self service tool. If you’re interested in getting notified when it launches, you can sign up here.

So you use 4 different tools and a data analyst, and this is somehow more efficient than having people log in to Google Analytics and get the same report in 3 clicks? Classic “business intelligence” logic: spend inconceivable amounts of time and money to get the same data you have elsewhere in a fancier chart. Except the data is probably wrong with all the transformations and duplication you had to do to get there.
Hey E, thanks for this comment, others may have similar questions.
* All of our top of funnel reporting lives in one place: our team doesn’t have to load multiple reports in GA to understand trends. Everything is in a single dashboard that they can access with one click.
* We don’t have to share GA segments across the team, ensuring everyone is looking at a single source of truth for our metrics.
* Unlike GA, we can track individual visitors (thanks to Mixpanel) and join this data with other data sources (thanks to Fivetran). For example, in addition to conversion rates like what % of visitors convert into trials from specific content, we can see each company’s account status, total revenue earned, whether or not they’re working with sales, whether they have any support interactions, etc.
For simple top of funnel metrics, GA gets the job done just fine. But for more advanced reporting, these tools are invaluable to us.
A question – do you use Fivetran to capture data from multiple sources AND reconcile it before passing it on to Looker? Or does this happen in Looker?
I’m hoping to achieve much the same, but my budget is less than $100 a month – do you know of any other tools I can look at?
As far your budget though, both Looker and Fivetran will be way more expensive than $100/month.
One free option is to use Metabase, an open source BI tool: https://www.metabase.com/. If you go that route though, you’re going to need to figure out how to make your data available to it for analysis. They have some solid docs on their site that should help. | 2019-04-20T19:06:41 | https://mattmazur.com/2018/05/11/looker-daily-uniques/ |
Pont del Diable (Ferreres Aqueduct, Tarragona) | Marc G.C.
I was looking into my old photographs when I found this sunrise from last year in Les Ferreres Aqueduct or el Pont del Diable (Devil’s Bridge), an ancient Roman monument with almost 2000 years of history near Tarragona, in the south of Catalonia.
I don’t know about you but I always loved forests and ancient architecture; having the opportunity to enjoy both of them at the same place was awesome. In fact, I’m thinking about visiting it again.
However, right now I’m so hungry that I don’t know if I want to enjoy the views one more time; or to pay a visit to a nearby restaurant located in an old modernist guard house, and order some “patatas bravas”.
The last time we were there with some friends we had a great time wolfing down this traditional Spanish dish, the sauce was amazing! The waiter told us that they use aromatic herbs from the nearby forest to prepare it. | 2019-04-25T15:57:28 | http://marcgcphotography.com/pont-del-diable-ferreres-aqueduct-tarragona/ |
It might seem like a modest proposal to call for a single playtester, but I already have an interested party (Steve H) and the game is 2-player! The game is called Cromwell and I have been developing it on and off for more than 3 years now. It is a block wargame very much in the mould of other Columbia Games titles such as Hammer of the Scots, Crusader Rex, Richard III, Texas Glory and Julius Caesar. In its current form it has already undergone 10 playtest sessions and everyone who had played it has enjoyed it. I have recently resubmitted it to Columbia Games, but it is likely to be a month or two before they get round to considering it and in the meantime, the more playtests it undergoes the better.
I'll bring it to a Wednesday session and, while I could play it myself with Steve H, it would be better for him to face an opponent who is also new to the game. Please let me know if you are interested. Ideally you'll already have played another block wargame or, at the very least, be familiar with some board wargames. I'd say it is low-to-mid complexity for a wargame - which would put it in heavy Euro game territory - being a little more complex than the other Columbia titles mentioned above and certainly a step up from the likes of Command & Colors.
More information about the game can be found on my bgg profile and the game map, block label graphics and some photos in my gallery.
I'd be happy to play but I might not be target audience for the finished game. I have played Hammer of the Scott's a few times and found it okay except for the last time I played which was one the most miserable 3 hours I have ever spent gaming. That session showed me that 3 hour 2 player games are probably not for me.
I'm probably in a similar situation to Gordon in that, from what I've seen you post on BGG, I don't think I'm the target audience. I wonder if Mike might be your best bet (not that I'm volunteering him).
Jonathan - have you played any block wargames? Or, for that matter, any old-school hex and counter wargames? I ask because it is not really an entry-level wargame. However, the rules are probably no more complex than some heavy euros - it is just the game play, and length, that elevate it beyond the level of euros. I could bring it along to a Wednesday session so that you can get a taste for it, though it would be better if we could find another new player too. | 2019-04-21T12:25:37 | http://blog.halesowenboardgamers.org.uk/2015/09/call-for-playtester.html |

A server rack drawer, also known as rackmount drawer or rackmount storage, fits into a server rack unit and is an ideal place to store equipment. These rack drawers can be placed on or underneath a rack or shelf and are ideal for items such as manuals, software, test equipment, keyboards and many others. This helps to save space and keep the area organised and tidy which is important in any server room or data center environment.
The industry standard rack cabinet is 42U tall. The rack drawer height must fit within the rack unit (U) and is defined as 44.5 mm (1.75 in). The drawer heights are usually 1U to 8U, with the equipment that fits into these drawers being anywhere between 1U and 8U high. Most rack-mountable computers are either 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U rack drawer high.
Rack mounting equipment is usually assembled by bolting or clipping the front panel to the rack. Rackmount storage equipment will usually need to be screwed or bolted to secure it.
Rack drawer slides are used for heavier equipment which needs to be accessible for servicing. The rail slides are mounted directly onto the rack and the equipment then slides along these rails. These rails can lock in various positions to prevent any movement of the equipment.
Non-locking rack drawers are ideal for keeping items out of the way but allowing for easy access at all times. Lockable rack mount drawers enable the user to lock away any items where increased security is needed. Some of these lock rack drawers are rail sliding whereas others are front mounting. Spring latch drawers come with a spring loaded latch and ideal when you need the storage but you want to ensure the drawer does not slide open. | 2019-04-18T19:23:22 | https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/enclosures-storage-material-handling/19-inch-racking/server-rack-drawers/ |

We're launching at 24 Hours In The Old Pueblo!
Well, here we are, six months on from our launch in the UK, and Broken Riders hits the USA!
Why, you might ask? Well, our philosophy of 'looking after our playground' means that as a business, we're always looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment. It seemed crazy to be shipping bamboo t-shirts and other products across the Atlantic ocean when very similar, equally high quality products are available right here in the US. And as we're now going to be shipping from Phoenix, AZ, then the shipping costs for you, our US customers, are drastically reduced.
The US is the mecca of mountain biking and there are so many active scenes and different disciplines to get involved in. 24 Hours In The Old Pueblo is one of the classic US endurance races. Held in the Sonoran Desert, near Tuscon, AZ, it tests both physical and mental toughness as solo riders and teams aim to complete as many laps as possible in a 24 hour period. As if the race itself wasn't enough, the typical extreme climatic conditions of the desert - intense heat during the day and freezing cold at night - test riders to the max. And yet, despite the hardship, there's an incredibly friendly atmosphere, and everyone leaves with fond memories, aiming to come back again next year.
Broken Riders do have a team in the race, with our very own Dan Moat (in the photo above), taking the lead role. Dan is the only man I know who smiles while riding a singlespeed up the steepest climbs! He's running the US business out of Phoenix and is, like me, and obsessive mountain biker. Living in Arizona, he has a wealth of trails on his doorstep, and makes full use of them. You'll often find him nailing the trails in a Broken Riders tee at South Mountain Park, or further afield in Sedona or Black Canyon. If you see him, or anyone else wearing Broken Riders gear, why not stop and say "hi"? I like to see us all as part of one big club, and all you've got to do to qualify for membership is to love to ride, fall off and get back on!
Anyway, I hope to see some of you this weekend out in the Sonoran Desert, and I hope that you'll all join us as we continue this incredible journey! | 2019-04-25T00:12:29 | https://brokenridersuk.com/blogs/news/12253869-were-launching-at-24-hours-in-the-old-pueblo |

fxguide: Black Panther — Building Wakanda.
What's fascinating to me is that they chose blue screen over green screen. Both of these are used [green is preferred these days] because they are colors exactly opposite to the red influences in Caucasian skin tones. I'm theorizing the blue rendered better skin tones for this particular film, given the majority of skin tones involved. Why is that notable? It's EXPENSIVE. Blue screen requires twice the light (usually) that green screen does. The director cared deeply about the look.
Further. Caucasian skin tones were 'backseated'. That's an historical triumph in itself, if I'm correct. So many times black skin ends up with odd color casts and undertones in film.
Nice to see it prioritized. | 2019-04-23T23:02:39 | https://dangerousmeta.rocks/blog/2018/2/26/fxguide-black-panther-building-wakanda |

Q2240 Chairman: I did not think I would be the one to have that put-down, Secretary of State. I walked into that pretty unwittingly!
Mr Hoon: I apologise. It was not in any way meant to be a put-down. I simply think that the premise of your question depended on the results of an inquiry that is only just beginning, and given the inquiry, I am not sure it would be wise of me to anticipate its results.
Q2241 Chairman: I thought you used that answer to the earlier questions. Following on from that very successful questionand I think I know the answer but I am still asking itdo you think the war in Iraq has undermined our ability politically to take the sort of pre-emptive actions which the SDR New Chapter identified as likely to be necessary against the threat from international terrorism?
Mr Hoon: No, I do not believe that it has. We have made clear that in dealing with threats to the people of the United Kingdom, it is necessary to take action against those threats where they arise and not simply wait for them to manifest themselves in the United Kingdom itself. In a sense, operations in Afghanistan were an illustration of that, and the operations there, which continue, have not only destroyed the training camps that were previously available to Al-Qaeda, but they have also disrupted significantly their command and control and their communications. That continues to be operationally necessary, but it is a very good illustration, I think, Chairman, of precisely the point that you were making.
Chairman: We look forward to seeing what recommendations the Committee of Inquiry makes to minimise the risk of any failures, if failures there were, in intelligence.
Q2242 Mr Havard: Much of the discussion, obviously, in Westminster village is all about the things that happen in Westminster village, but I am interested in what intelligence and what advice was given to operational commanders on the ground from all of this, presumably expecting to go into a situation of present danger and a threat and all the rest of it on the basis of the intelligence assessment. We know you did not have "Jones the Spy", which is a bit of a problem in Iraq, because you could not grade a lot of the intelligence, but we have heard stories that this is the most photographed country in the world, yet when troops engaged, the maps were wrong, and boys were drawing things on bits of paper and swapping them around. There were serious problems with basic intelligence and information. What I would like to know therefore is what in fact was said to the troops and the operational commanders. Were they expecting the weapons of mass destruction to come via a boy with a bag on his back pretending to be a shepherd rather than it being a ballistic missile? In other words, I would like to know the advice about the asymmetric threat but also the direct military threat. What advice did they get?
Mr Hoon: Troops were prepared to deal with a number of potential threats in the way in which weapons of mass destruction might have been deployed. I am sure all of us can recall some early television clips of missiles coming into deployed forces in Kuwait and people making the appropriate response by getting into their chemical protection suits. It was a very vivid image at the start of the conflict.
Q2243 Mr Havard: Is that because they did not know?
Mr Hoon: It happened on a number of occasions. It was clear that those people had been properly briefed to expect a threat from a weapon of mass destruction, and they took appropriate action. I can recall embedded journalists describing that process as their cameraman took the pictures, and we all saw those pictures on our television screens. It indicates that they were properly prepared for that threat. As the operation developed, there were examples, particularly affecting American coalition forces, of attacks of an asymmetric kind. By then I think we were more in control of the territory from which, say, missiles could have been launched.
Q2244 Mr Havard: What you are really describing is they did not know so they tried to protect themselves against anything and everything.
Mr Hoon: That is probably a prudent preparation for any kind of military conflict.
Q2245 Mr Havard: Is that good enough though?
Mr Hoon: I do not understand why you say it was not good enough.
Q2246 Mr Havard: If you are an operational commander on the ground, you would expect you might get a little bit of graded intelligence as to what it is you are facing.
Mr Hoon: I have indicated, I think, the clearest possible example of what they were prepared to deal with and why they did it.
Chairman: We are coming on to this again, Secretary of State, on NBC defence.
Q2247 Mr Havard: My question is actually about embedded officers in the process, and it does follow on, in a sense. What we have learned is we have had embedded officers in Tampa and then in Qatar as part of the planning process, which I think quite clearly was thought to be, in terms of what was described to us as a "bottom up" process, very successful and very helpful, I think, in terms of doing what one of the officers called "We influenced the planning for the better" and I think some of them were afraid of the planning that they saw when they started. They were quite clearly only brought into the planning at certain stages, and I wanted to ask you about the timing of that. We know they were there after 11 September, and they had been there for some time. We are told that they discovered a "no foreigners" planning exercise going on in May 2002, in other words the Americans were excluding everyone, including the Brits, from that process. They were eventually involved in June and July 2002, and they got some authority to then carry on and do some pre-planning. But what they also told us was that what they discovered was that there were two windows for this exercise to happen in, the spring or the autumn. We know the war happened in the spring. You know the suspicion is that the Americans were always going to go in the spring anyway, no matter what the intelligence told them and no matter what the planning was. The question we want to ask is how successful do you think they were in terms of not only the political activities that were involved in the planning but also the operational side of the planning, on matters such as targeting and so on? There are two questions: one is about the military efficiency of these people's involvement and also their political involvement.
Mr Hoon: First of all, they did a tremendous job, and I think I need to distinguish between the regular liaison that takes place between Britain's armed forces and Centcom, not least after Afghanistan, where we again had British officers working very closely with their American counterparts in preparing operations. That cooperation continued, and involvement in the planning of specific operations, obviously, in relation to Iraq, where againI do not actually have the exact numbers but wherever I went in visiting forces, in preparing for the operations, British forces were significantly represented, and whenever I have spoken to either military officers or their political leadership in the Pentagon, there has been great praise for the contribution British forces made, but I would not want to be nationalistic about that, and I am sure you were not being. The development of military planning is a process, and I am pleased that British officers were able to contribute significantly to that, but I do not think necessarily they were any better or any worse than their American counterparts. They did an extremely good job together.
Q2248 Mr Havard: I am critical personally of the question about how they go about picking out targets, and I think the fact that the British were there helped that significantly, because they would have bombed a lot of things that otherwise they did not bomb because there was perhaps more intelligence from our side. It links back to the intelligence process. What I am really interested in is were they influencing that timetable, where they also being incorporated into the process, was this part of a political incorporation process or was it really about military planning for military effect? There is a tension between those two things, and it is quite clear that we are going to have to cooperate with the Americans for a long time in the future. Perhaps you can say something about how you see that moving on from the lessons learned here, how you are safeguarding, in a sense, against the incorporation problem whilst enhancing the real effect that they may have in terms of military planning.
Mr Hoon: On the question of targeting, this was a completely integrated process. The air campaign was about as integrated between the US and the UK as it could be. Indeed, I can recall occasions on which aircraft were in the sky, receiving their orders to take out particular targets, and it depended entirely on which aircraft were available, whether they were US or UK. That demonstrates the level of integration of targeting. So I would not accept that there was any kind of difference in approach between the US and the UK in the planning or preparation or indeed in the execution of that process. As far as the embedding of officers in military planning is concerned, their job is to produce the best military plan available for coalition forces. As I say, I believe that British forces played a significant part in the planning and did a tremendous job.
Q2249 Chairman: Is this likely to be permanent, Secretary of State, or just a series of ad hoc arrangements?
Mr Hoon: I said in answer to the earlier question that there has been regular liaison and exchanges between Centcom, for example, and indeed other American command headquarters, and British forces. I do not think they are ever based on a permanent arrangement as such, but nevertheless, the level of exchange over the years is such that in effect there have always been British officers there, to the best of my knowledge, certainly in my time in this job.
Q2250 Rachel Squire: First Reflections and your Lessons for the Future report highlighted the competing pressures of diplomatic negotiations and military preparations. It is clear that in seeking to avoid undermining the diplomatic phase of the crisis over Iraq, some decisions in respect of military preparations were delayed. Would you consider that it is inevitable that where military operations are just one part of the spectrum of diplomatic and political activity, the need to keep the political processes on track for as long as possible will act as a constraint on military preparations?
Mr Hoon: It could. I do not believe that it did as far as this particular operation is concerned. Inevitably it is my job to ensure on behalf of the armed forces and the Ministry of Defence that there is a consistent approach both to a diplomatic effort as well as to a military effort, and I believe that that consistent approach was carried through.
Q2251 Rachel Squire: You say that you do not believe it did in relation to Operation Telic. Are you really confident that there was no effect of the political diplomatic process on the holding of stocks of military supplies or in being able, for instance, to place orders early enough for matters for urgent operational requirements so as to allow their delivery to be just in time rather than just too late?
Mr Hoon: That is a perfectly proper question, which I will try and deal with. As far as stockholding is concerned, a judgment was madethe Committee has, I think, discussed this in the pastabout the appropriate level of equipment in store immediately available for a rapid reaction in terms of an international crisis. A judgment was made that that should be sufficient to equip the rapid reaction force at around 9,000. Thereafter the judgment was made that urgent operational requirements and the process of supplying those extra pieces of equipment would require sufficient time in order to be able to put a larger force into the field. That judgment, as I indicated in my introductory remarks, perhaps required some updating in the light of the kind of operation that we have just carried out in Iraq, which is why I have decided that there shall be larger stocks immediately available. That is in the light of the lessons that we have learned from this operation. As the NAO, I think, makes clear in its conclusions, there is always a balance to be struck between having equipment available immediately, given the cost of that, as against the process that we went through in relation to making sure that our troops were sufficiently equipped to conduct military operations in Iraq. It is a balance. It is a judgment. I judged that the previous level was not sufficient, but it could be the caseand I well recall this when I was first appointedthat we end up not using stock because it becomes time-expired and the money is thereby wasted. One of my early jobs was to close down various warehouses full of spare parts for equipment that had gone out of service and that had never been used. I have a responsibility not only to the taxpayer but also to the armed forces to make sure that we spend scarce resources as effectively as possible, and destroying stock that has never been used because it is no longer relevant is not something that I think is necessarily the best use of those scarce resources, either from the point of view of the taxpayer or, crucially, from the point of view of the armed forces, because I could have spent that money on something more useful as far as they were concerned. It is a judgment; it is a balance. We have got to get that judgment and balance right. My view is that we did what was necessary in Iraq, but perhaps learning the lessons that we hold larger stocks for the future than we did at the time. Those judgments evolve in the light of experience.
Q2252 Rachel Squire: Can I then ask you whether, in terms of learning those lessons, there was any consideration of whether international political processes could impact on the urgent delivery of supplies and equipment that had actually been manufactured outside the UK.
Mr Hoon: I do not think we had a particular problem on this occasion, but there will be plenty of people in this room that can recall the difficulties that we had on previous occasions in securing ammunition from particular countries. I had probably better not name those countries, to be diplomatic, but I think everyone knows what I am talking about. Obviously, the reliability of supplies is crucial, and that is again something that has to be taken into account as part of this process.
Q2253 Chairman: We are just trying to remember. Switzerland and Belgium. Apologies to any Belgians and Swiss.
Mr Hoon: So much for diplomacy, Chairman!
Chairman: I was never skilled in that, Secretary of State.
Q2254 Mr Blunt: Secretary of State, before following up on issues about equipment, can I just say that I spent two and a half years as a special advisor to one of your predecessors, and I have a vivid memory of reading a cutting from the Sun in Warsaw about a story about a Wren who had gone AWOL and was causing some concern, Wrens having just been introduced to the ships. It would be extraordinary, given the sensitivity to the press of the administration that you represent that your cuttings service is not being sent out to your private office on a daily basis when you are overseas. Not now, but could you please investigate and confirm that your private office received the cuttings service in question on those dates that you were away in Warsaw and Ukraine?
Mr Hoon: I will certainly investigate that.
Q2255 Mr Blunt: Let me begin with something that I hope we all agree on. I want to declare my interest as the son and grandson of two senior military logisticians, who I think would have taken huge pleasure from the unprecedented achievement in modern military logistics, which you described in your opening statement as heroic, in getting the equipment out to the Gulf for Gulf War II. Would they be right to take huge pride in that achievement, if they were still alive, and would they also be right in saying that the scale of their achievementsincluding all the civilian agencies involvedexceeded everyone's reasonable expectations?
Mr Hoon: I am grateful for that observation, because it is my view that the logisticians have not always been accorded the praise that I think they rightly deserve. They tend to be people who are rather taken for granted in the process, and I must say I was particularly impressed when I went to exercise Saif Sareea.
Q2256 Mr Blunt: I fear we do not have very long, so "yes" will do.
Mr Hoon: It is important that I answer the question. I recall going there towards the end of the exercise and at that stage there was the process beginning of getting the equipment and people back to the United Kingdom, and I must say that was a remarkable effort and, as you have properly said, this was something which was duplicated in our operations in Iraq this time.
Q2257 Mr Blunt: Therefore, Secretary of State, it is correct that the failures of supply that have been identified by the NAO are actually rather more to do with the strategic issue of the timetable to which the logisticians were working than any lower order issues such as efficiency in the supply chain about asset tracking that you are talking about. You have talked about the sheer volume of matériel that the logistic chain is having to deal with in a very short space of time. You, as Defence Secretary, were responsible for the timetable. Is that correct?
Mr Hoon: Yes, but if the implication of that is that there should have been more time, then I am sure your father and grandfather would have recognised as the logisticians that they were that the time is the time that you have available, and the job of a logistician is to ensure that the equipment is moved from, in this case, mostly the United Kingdom to theatre in the time that is available. That is the job they did, and that is why they did it so heroically.
Q2258 Mr Blunt: The point is, Secretary of State, that you were responsible for the timetable by the political decision that you took as Secretary of State for Defence for when preparations could begin. Could you turn to the chronology in your First Reflections document on page 73, the second booklet: Operations in Iraq: Lessons for the Future. As far as you are aware, the chronology is accurate?
Q2259 Mr Blunt: There are no dates in this chronology that the MoD appears to regard as significant between 17 December 1999 and 12 September 2002.
Mr Hoon: I am sorry. That is a completely open-ended question. I would be much happier if you were rather more precise as to what you mean by that. | 2019-04-19T08:20:03 | https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmselect/cmdfence/57/4020503.htm |

We know all too well that attempting to remain healthy whilst travelling can be a bit of a struggle. Don’t get me wrong, I believe that holidays are a time for indulgence, and I challenge myself to conquer the breakfast buffet as much as the next person.
That being said, constant overindulgence will leave you feeling groggy and de-energised in no time, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll also become a little grumpy. For this reason, I try to implement minor, healthy alternatives throughout the course of my holiday, in order to maintain a little bit of normality in my body.
Avoid Plane Food: This stuff is just awful. Full of chemicals, preservatives, and a whole load of sodium, pre-packaged plane food is enough to leave anyone feeling unwell. Instead, find a more healthy option within the airport terminal to take on the plane with you. I tend to team a wrap or salad with a pot of fresh fruit and some nuts to snack on throughout the journey. If you’re really organised, another great option is to prepare your own food at home in advance.
Be Prepared: I’m the kind of person who eats a meal, and then gets hungry two-three hours later, whilst my family/friends are still full. To avoid any hunger-related meltdowns, pack snacks in your handbag/rucksack; this way, you’ll never be caught off guard. I tend to opt for something protein-based, as these snacks will keep you fuller for longer. My favourites are Grenade Carb Killa or Quest protein bars, and Upbeat smoothies.
If You’re Going to Workout, Do it in the Morning: I’ve never been a fan of training on an empty stomach, so on holiday is the only time you’ll catch me in the gym pre-breakfast. It’s easy to tell yourself that you’ll squeeze in an afternoon workout, but the likelihood is, these plans will crumble. You won’t want to drag yourself away from the pool, and the pre-dinner drinks will be calling your name. Get up and get it done. Besides, what could be better than working out and then refuelling with a killer breakfast buffet? (arguably, the best feature of any holiday).
Be Cocktail Savvy: We all love a good piña colada, but with a similar calorie count to a light meal, it’s not an ideal drink of choice to have regularly. Although cocktails taste damn good, they tend to be full of sugar (and spice, and all things nice. I know, they’re hard to resist). Have a few, of course, but the trick really is moderation. I’m not saying don’t drink at all, but why not try switching up some of your cocktails for a vodka with soda and fresh lime? It’s a tasty, light and refreshing alternative, just minus (almost) all of the nasty stuff in those sugar-laden cocktails.
Stay Hydrated: When spending time in the sunshine, it’s absolutely crucial that you’re taking on enough water. Dehydration impedes your body’s ability to undertake basic daily processes, and this includes metabolic function. Reduced calorie burn? No thanks, I’ll take the water. Adequate hydration will also assist your body in flushing out toxins, from the one-too-many drinks you may have consumed the night before. | 2019-04-24T07:52:44 | https://charlotteshelley.com/2016/08/10/how-to-stay-healthy-whilst-travelling/ |
Do you need a proven business system to franchise?
Home > Blog > Do you need a proven business system to franchise?
"Has anyone ever seen a franchisor that has sold franchises without an open, operating, and successful company owned location?"
This was a question posed on Linked in by Kelcey Lehrich a US franchising consultant.
This question turned into a discussion that was contributed to by many players in the franchising industry.
"Franchising is its own industry. A Franchisor can achieve the same result with a franchisee who purchases the first franchise and uses it as a "showcase" facility. Out of the 76 industries that franchisors are presently franchising more and more are NOT opening company operations. Most franchisors that do have company operations will sell them after starting to franchise."
It may be possible however my question would be why in the world would anyone be willing to pay a franchise fee if there are no units open and no demonstrated record. When I put myself in the position you are obviously thinking about it seems this is not a franchise at all but a possible partnership with one person who has a yet unproven idea and one believer in the business idea. My thought would be either become a partner and help open a unit or take the financial risk in exchange for a very sweet deal.
There is no legal requirement that a business ever exist prior to it offering franchises. Indeed, at congressional hearings about a decade back the issue of franchisor competence was discussed and it was found that franchisors did not owe a duty of competence to its franchisees. All you need to be a franchisor in the United States is a Franchise Disclosure Document and in some state file or submit it for review and registration.
Putting that aside, there is no support in the professional community, and that would include stretching the word "professional" to include the franchise packagers be they consultants or lawyers for franchising based on a concept that has never had a working prototype. One of the baselines for a threshold analysis of whether a company is franchisable, in all of the literature i have ever read on the subject is the existence of the model being based on a working prototype at least. States merely require disclosure unless there are other facts for your clients that support their claims there may not be much they can do.
The failure rate for start up franchises is already too high as many companies move into franchising simply by completing the legal requirements. There is nothing to prevent them from doing that. But it is a terrible practice and one that does not have much support in franchising. But unfortunately, it happens.
As it relates to having company owned locations while a company is franchising, (they closed or sold off company owned locations), many companies do not have owned operations including many of my firm's clients. Different issue and different debate.
The discussion was stimulating and fascinating and I can recommend it to anyone who understands or wished to learn more about the industry.
So, is it true, do you have to have successfully operated a business prior to franchising?
Best practice franchising is a business model that replicates a proven successful system.
You will note the use of the term "best practice".
It is apparent that there are franchise models that have not operated their business prior to franchising. In this case these businesses do not have a proven system. They are dependent on the franchisees to provide them with the "proof".
It is also apparent that there are business owners who are not only prepared to spend time and money creating the proof but who are also prepared to pay a Franchisor money for the opportunity to do so! Astounding!
There is no legislation which states that a franchise has to have run successfully or unsuccessfully for that matter, before being franchised.
Most responsible franchise consultants would advise a potential Franchisor to operate a business at one or more locations (in the case of retail particularly) before Franchising the business.
Either method is quite acceptable.
The Franchisor has operated the business themselves prior to Franchising and can sell franchises with confidence in the proven system.
I am often approached by businesses with "great ideas" and my answer to them all is always the same. Go and build the business, test and refine the system. Create a profitable business.
When you feel confident that you could teach someone else to do exactly the same thing and get a positive result, let's talk franchising. | 2019-04-23T12:55:34 | https://www.franchisingplus.com.au/blog/do-you-need-a-proven-business-system-to-franchise- |
Numerous reports have recommended that sales of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S4 have fallen well in need of the company’s internal projections, and Samsung may not be assured that its universally panned smartwatch and new curiously recurved smartphone will develop the slack. in keeping with a recent report from South Korean news site Naver, Samsung plans to launch its next-generation flagship Galaxy S5 smartphone well earlier than schedule. the positioning claims the phone may be disclosed as presently as Jan 2014 earlier than a unharness in February. Samsung’s Galaxy S III and Galaxy S4 every debuted within the second quarter.
Naver says Samsung is speeding the phone out as a result of Galaxy S4 sales are weak, and also the company hopes the varied new technologies within the Galaxy S5 can facilitate flip the slump around.

Onions are one of the easiest crops to grow in the vegetable garden. As there is barely a week in the year where onions are not used at some point in the kitchen, why not follow our easy step by step advice and try growing them for yourself. You won't be disappointed and may even be surprised by the difference in quality and flavour to what is available in the supermarket.
Onions like a sunny, sheltered site in well drained soil. Plant onion sets 10cm (4") apart in rows 30cm (12") apart from October to mid-April (dependant on variety). Gently pushthe sets into,soft, well-worked soil so that the tip is just showing and firm the soil around them.
Water if the weather is dry and give an occasional feed with a general liquid fertilizer. A light of high potassium fertilizer in June will help ripen the bulbs ready for storage. Stop watering and feeding once the onions have begun to gain some colour on the top, and remove any mulch or soil to expose the bulb to the sun.
Onions can be harvested when the foliage turns yellow and starts to toppel over. Leave for two or three weeks and then carefully lift with a garden fork. If you wish to store onions they must be firm, disease free and then dried for two or three weeks, either in the sun or in a shed if the weather is wet.
Although your onions are best suited for growing in the open ground, you could grow a short row or two in large, deep containers or raised beds. However they are not suitable for growbags as they need deep compost for healthy roots. | 2019-04-19T03:08:05 | http://suttons.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/126/15/how-do-you-grow-onions-from-sets |

1. Meristem culture. The meristem is the where the plant is actively growing, and the cells are dividing. The meristem is usually free of viruses and other pathogens, so meristem culture is used to obtain a disease free clone.
2. Callus culture. The plant tissue is induced to form undifferentiated growth or a callus, then induced to differentiate into the various organs by finding the proper balance of hormones. In meristem culture organs are already differentiated, so epidermal cells give rise to more epidermal cells. In callus culture any cell could become an epidermal cell or any other organ. Auxin is used to promote roots, and cytokinin promotes shoots. | 2019-04-24T12:16:14 | http://cannaversity.com/cannaversity/article.php?id=040 |

"A Diamond is Forever" came from a TV commercial in 1947 and lived on as a symbol of love and romance for nearly 70 years, where diamonds became a testimony of eternity and vows.
From exploration mining, cutting and polishing to reaching the hands of consumers eventually, the details of each process must be meticulous and involves cumbersome hand skills in order to make each diamond shine brightly under natural light. Coal mines withstand intense pressure for tens of thousands of years in order to produce diamonds. At present, diamonds are extremely rare, and can only be mined in countries such as South Africa or Russia, making it rather valuable. Diamonds are extremely attractive to most people, and is a symbol of power, status and wealth.
The diamond industry is a specialized field with extremely strict technical requirements and the field also involves precious metals, mining, jewelry, and precious gemstones. The target group is composed of upper class and elites. There are often many issues with illegal diamonds, blood diamonds, insurance fraud, and counterfeits in the complicated diamond trading process.
Technology, a company which specializes in programming and system construction, mentioned in a recent interview with the Financial Times: Six Linx Technology integrates its own blockchain technology with the diamond industry to launch an innovative business model - Diamond Blockchain(DMC), which will create a more transparent and wider circulation trading platform for the entire diamond industry.
All members whether upstream, downstream or consumers, can quickly share large amount of resources through the diamond blockchain, while purchasing luxurious high-end diamond products and enjoy security and transparency in this diamond block chain.
Due to the decentralization, information will not be tampered with and becomes transparent. Each and every process of the diamonds from mining, transaction to circulation can be stored in the blockchain enabling the quality of the data, thereby endorsing it with unwavering trust. It also ensures the accuracy of data analysis and the effect of data mining, which greatly enhances the circulation value of diamonds.
Blockchain technology will records the shape, size, clarity and proof of origin of each diamond. The buyer can track the origin of each diamond and avoid buying items such as “Blood Diamond” and “Smuggled Diamonds” that are involved in illegal transactions and will raise financial disputes.
Diamonds and blockchains, one of which is a class of precious gemstones that own a great demand while the other is a high-end technology that the world is paying attention to. Here at Six Linx Technology, we take the bold step to bridge this two. Through our collaboration with MasterCard payment system, Six Linx Technology will create a unique consumption model and we are very much looking forward to the spark of the two brought together by Six Linx Technology! | 2019-04-20T22:28:54 | http://japanbreakingnews.com/press-release/an-exquisite-and-flawless-combination-between-technology-and-diamonds-six-linx-technology-rid-the-stigma-of-blood-diamonds~cS8/ |
Following a tough 81-60 loss Thursday night at home to Big Timber, Three Forks High School boys basketball coach said his team had a great talk about coming together in moments of adversity.
"We weren't a 'team' on Thursday. We were struggling getting along and guys were trying to take the game on themselves. We expressed the love that we have for each other and how much better we will be if their hearts are full," Hauser said.
The Wolves responded from the setback in impressive fashion and picked up their eighth win of the season Saturday night with a 51-37 road victory over Columbus.
After taking a 17-10 lead at the end of the first quarter, Hauser challenged his team to hold the Cougars under 10 points in the second quarter. Columbus would score a total of 13 points in the second and third quarters and Three Forks (8-4, 4-2 5B) would push their lead to 25 points going into the fourth.
"We have been struggling scoring but keep telling the guys if they can play great defense, we will always have a chance to win. We gave up 80 points against Big Timber, so we had to come back Saturday and accept the challenge defensively," he said. "The kids responded, and we played a lot better team basketball. We also came back Monday and had what I thought to be our best practice of the year. So, I am very proud of the guys right now for stepping up and taking the challenge. Great teams thrive in moments of adversity."
Senior Payden Lynn led the team in scoring with 15 points, and Dustin Dalke was also in double figures with 12. Colter Miller finished sixth seven, Bryson Olson had six, and Zach Pitcher finished with four. Kaeson Long, Dallas Cooper, Owen Long, and Corey Yecny each finished with two points.
In the game against Big Timber, Miller had a huge night for the Wolves with 31 points and 11 rebounds. Lynn added 13, Olson had five, and Owen Long finished with three. Dalke, Cooper, Austin Alley and Yecny each finished with two points.
The Wolves will return home Thursday for a matchup against Whitehall and will be on the road Friday for a matchup with Jefferson High School in Boulder.
Looking towards the two games, Hauser wants his team to stay together and to play team basketball.
"Let the game come to you on offense don't force bad shots and play off of each other. Defensively we have to keep doing what we have been doing all year long. We need to force them into taking bad shots and disrupting their offense, nothing easy. Communication will be key on both ends of the floor," he said. | 2019-04-19T21:03:52 | https://www.threeforksvoice.com/story/2019/01/23/sports/learning-from-adversity-wolves-rebound-with-win/107.html |

Research reveals nearly a third of UK businesses have experienced security breaches or attacks in the past year.
Broker app Kinsu will cease to provide cover for current customers from 30 April.
The affinity speciality has bought both the firms which include the Insurance2Go and Better Buy Insurance brands.
The two firms hope the Broker Insights platform will help Biba's regional broker members to become more visible to insurers.
The insurer has updated the policy to include standard cyber cover and cyber-crime and cyber online liability as additional covers.
The provider claimed that SmartQuote uses big data to find home insurance quotes in as little as one question if the broker knows the client.
Bank says the platform will aid regulated professions including insurance.

A letter of recommendation for Eusebius, and a plea that Sophronius champion him against calumny.
TO reckon up all those who have received kindness at your excellency's hand, for my sake, is no easy task; so many are there whom I feel that I have benefited through your kind aid, a boon which the Lord has given me to help me in these very serious times. Worthiest of all is he who is now introduced to you by my letter, the reverend brother Eusebius, attacked by a ridiculous calumny which it depends upon you alone in your uprightness, to destroy. I beseech you, therefore, both as respecting the right and as being humanely disposed, to grant me your accustomed favours, by adopting the cause of Eusebius as your own, and championing him, and, at the same time, truth. It is no small thing that he has the right on his side; and this, if he be not stricken down by the present crisis, he will have no difficulty in proving plainly and without possibility of contradiction. | 2019-04-19T00:59:58 | https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/fathers/view.cfm?recnum=2668 |
French Montana was the victim of a home invasion at his $3.3 million California mansion this morning (July 31).
ABC 7 has confirmed at least two armed robbers broke into French's Calabasas home early on Tuesday. Los Angeles County sheriff's officials were called to the gated community where French lives around 9 a.m., several hours after the crime allegedly took place. It's unclear whether any of French's personal items were stolen, but one victim claims the robbers took personal property from the residence.
The robbers may have taken off on foot, and unfortunately there aren't any leads yet on where they may be. French has yet to release a public statement on the matter as cops are requesting information from anyone who can lead them to a person of interest.
Oddly enough, French Montana bought the mansion from pop superstar Selena Gomez, who had her own fair share of issues with intruders in the past. The Bronx rhymer purchased the home from the pop star back in 2016.
The news comes one month after the "New Thang" spitter put his New Jersey mansion on the market. The 6,100 square foot home in Pequannock Township comes equipped with a pool, half-basketball court and a state-of-the-art recording studio.
This story is developing. Check back with us for more details. | 2019-04-20T22:49:25 | https://www.xxlmag.com/news/2018/07/robbers-invade-french-montana-calabasas-home/ |

This is one of the best short articles I have seen explaining how we got to tyranny from freedom.
My comments are below the letter.
Having spent the best part of three years in the study of what exists in America, how we have gotten to where we are, and the structure of our country at this point, I feel compelled to make an attempt at clarification of it for those who have not had the opportunity for such in depth study. We have a system in place which has corrupted the basic tenet of law and we have departed from the basic intent of law. We have allowed it and accepted it because of our ignorance and lack of understanding. Until this is acknowledged and understood there will be no freedom for man on this earth.
Many of those in the sovereignty movement have discovered the difference between law, which is the common law (the law of the land), and the legal system which is a corporate creation using international law. The corporate created legal system is not a system of law but a system of corporate rules and regulations by which the created "creditors" and would be masters may regulate the lives of man and manufacture excuses for confiscation of production and/or assets. It is a system through which they find excuses and the means for extracting the productivity of man by various devices and those devices are whatever they claim them to be.
When a sovereign/free man claims that those rules do not apply to him, the typical response from most of the uninformed is that these folks think they are "above the law." This is the predominate attitude of " law enforcement, the courts, the would be corporate rulers, and ..unfortunately most of our people, who have been trained to keep their fellow man in line and compliant. This view is what has been taught to the people for decades. It is NOT what our founders believed, it is NOT based on the natural law, the law of the land, the law of the free man, nor is it based in Constitutional law or principles. It IS based on the law of the sea and the law of the international merchants/bankers. It is wholly opposed to the law of free men which is God's law or the natural law of the free man. The merchant law (corporate law, law of the sea, international law, commercial law) is the law for the slaves constructed to make all the people debtors and is written by the slave masters who set themselves up to rule and prosper.
I hope to make this basic and simple to understand herein. There was a time when the saying "ignorance of the law is no excuse" had very good reason for being valid. That is because the common law, or the law of free man, has but three laws. 1. Do not harm another one of the people. 2. Do not harm the property of one of the people. 3. Do not commit fraud. All three of those laws can be boiled down into simply DO NO HARM.
That is real law. It is simple, it is straight forward, and ignorance of it is no excuse. Frankly, no one growing up under these laws of free men could ever have been ignorant of them nor claim ignorance as an excuse. If you will but stop to ponder those three laws you will realize they encompass all the protection and security a free man would need. Under the common law what we knew of as the police or sheriffs were ACTUALLY peace officers and served merely to keep that peace. In the current system they are "law enforcement" which is another term for corporate rule revenue collection officers. They are now the muscle for an illegitimate criminal system to make and control slaves of men.
The old saying that ignorance of the law no longer applies for there are now tens of thousands of "so called" laws variously termed statutes, codes, or public policy, and no one could possibly know them or indeed keep up with all the new ones being passed every day. This is ludicrous to any thinking man who values freedom and does not relish slavery and chains.
The corporate rules now accepted as laws are merely under "color of law" and are described to people "as law" when in fact they are the rules of corporations, designed to be the creditors, in a system through which they manage to take more and more money from the people using agency and devise by making the people the debtors and subjects of their rule. It is a system through which they gain more and more money, expand and grow controls via created corporate governmental fictions, and make more and more excuses for more and more power and control. It is a system the slaves are expected to pay for and support. It is a system in which the slaves pay for their own increasingly tyrannical rule via theft of their productivity.
The simple common law is the premise for our Bill of Rights and our Constitution. These documents were not written to give us our rights as those are inherent inalienable rights we are born with...natural or God given...and it is so stated within those documents. These are the rights and rules for free men to live by. There is NO valid excuse for any others as those three are all encompassing.
Let us merely consider the basic premise of the laws of free men. It is "DO NO HARM." Those who do harm to another man, his property, or defraud another are held accountable. Period.
I would suggest to you that much, if not all, of the corruption that exists in this country traces back to the concept of the limited liability corporation. It is a fictional person created within in their manufactured legal system. It is a legal construct through which accountability and liability is avoided. That is completely opposed to the laws of free men. It is a shield erected which allows harm to be done and the culprits responsible for that harm to walk away scot free. I suggest to you that the concept violates the law of free men by setting up a construct through which one may avoid the law of responsibility for one's actions. No accountability. In other words those doing harm are no longer held accountable to their fellow man. This violates the basic premise of all the real law that free man ever had. The people are said to have volunteered into this system and yet they do not know it even exists. The system itself is a fraud upon the people and hence violates the real law.
To be surprised by what has evolved due to the violation of that premise of do no harm is to admit a failure to understand what makes real law and what is lawless rule. We created a fictional person in law with the corporations and now the corporations (all the various governmental entities) now rule by edict, decree, and corporate rule making with no responsibility or accountability. You may venture the opinion that they do no harm, but I challenge you to reconsider.
If a corporation files bankruptcy and the stockholders walk away from all debt, would you claim no one has been harmed? I allow that in every case there IS harm done. If the vendors to that bankrupt corporation are to survive, they will have to be able to overcome such losses. They can only overcome such losses by having net revenues sufficiently high to be able to absorb the losses and indeed even the risk of such losses.. That means higher prices for all goods and services and is a price born by the consumer....the people. The rules ultimately protect government and their corporations from the people who bear the cost; the slaves. It removes all recourse in real law and all protection under real law. It protects the law violators from the victims which is ultimately the people in every case.
These corporate creations were a violation of law in the very beginning and the current situation is but the natural progression of that corruption of the basic premise in law to do no harm. The protections and security of free men is not to be found in corporate rule making but in the return to real law and a departure from the fictional system created to avoid responsibility and the premise of real law.
The federal government is a corporation. It exists as THE parent corporation. All others who file a charter to "incorporate" and obtain the limited liability protection as one of their sub corporations must pay protection money to the parent who controls them. The IRS tax code applies to such corporate fictions and taxes them for the "benefit" of their relationship to the parent corporation...ie limited liability. It is protection money. It is collected by their muscle, the IRS.
The corporate taxes are the "cut" of the corporate profits taken by the government for the protection provided of limited liability and passes to the FED as interest on the debt run up by the parent so they can continue to expand controls and grow in size. The regulations and interventions in business are manipulated to scientifically create inflation. As the cost of dealing with regulations goes up to the sub corporation then they must increase prices for goods and services. The increase in gross revenues and subsequent net revenues of the corporation as measured in dollars goes up, hence the tax dollars collected as protection money go up. This cost in scientifically created inflation is born by the people and is theft of their productivity.
It is why a car that was once $3000 is now $50, 000. It is why a house that was once $10,000 is now $200,000. It is why a man can no longer support his family on one income and why most wives now have to work. It is why people now struggle to make ends meet and it is largely why our kids are now raised by people outside the home. It is why companies and individuals behind them do not always act morally and ethically in their business dealings. It has corrupted our society and completely undermined the concept of do no harm. Why worry about it if you can file bankruptcy on your corporation and walk away? It happens every day and it costs the people in every way. I suggest the "harm" is massive and wide spread.
We have a parent corporation with a seated CEO/President who can rule by decree and bureaucratic department heads who garnered the ability to regulate day to day activities of their managed herd and now we have a criminal corporate institution in place which can literally control not only your freedoms but your very life or death by decree. To oppose corporate rule or their decree mandates is to be labeled a traitor or terrorist. I can think of nothing which could be more ridiculous or absurd than what exists in this country. We gave up God's law for the rule of man and we have a cruel master coming forth for our failures.
All people must realize the difference between real law and corporate rule to ever end corruption and return to a free and moral society. Consider what you have accepted. Question every thing you have blindly accepted as good or necessary and why. Think about it long and hard.
Many Americans these days want to be so free that they would also be free from God's laws. They want to be free from the Ten Commandments and be allowed to violate the natural laws put into spin by God at Creation. That might be the reason corporations dominate.
That so called "freedom" is really slavery. It's slavery to satan, who wanted to replace God with himself. As Satan lost his true freedom and was kicked out of heaven by St. Michael the Archangel so will we lose our true freedom and heaven if we live without God.
The true SUPREME law for the United States is the US Constitution. It was and is a reflection of the moral law, natural law and in some respects positive Divine law. Notice I said a reflection. Because true positive Divine law is contained in God's Ten Commandments delivered to Moses. These laws have been explained throughout over 2000 years of history by Jesus Christ through His Church, and are pretty well defined.
So ask yourself this question. Do people who want to ignore the Divine Law and also the US Constitution really deserve true FREEDOM?
I think not. Then ask yourself this question. What am I doing to MAKE MYSELF WORTHY of this divine gift of true Freedom?
If you can't answer that might I suggest several things?
2. Study, of history, moral principles, a bit of law etc.
3. activities that help inform your fellow man.
5. Most importantly live so as to set a good example of a person truly free under God's law, and then DO NO HARM.
We are all imperfect, and we don't get it right 100% of the time, but it's the effort to be so that really counts, and we can all use the practice of living right. That practice is the preparation for TRUE AND ETERNAL FREEDOM, which is perfection itself before the face of God in heaven for all time and eternity. May we all be so blessed. | 2019-04-21T16:58:42 | http://www.paulstramer.net/2011/12/true-freedom-vs-false-freedom-and.html |

Late in 2013, leaders from Population Media Center, Population Institute and Foundation for Deep Ecology huddled up to review the draft of what would become Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot. No one knew what sort of public reception a large-format, 3 kilogram book — filled with a variety of extremely provocative pictures — would get.
Questions abounded around the table: Who would read this book? Was it too provocative? Could limited resources be invested in more worthwhile programs?
In the end, after much intense discussion, a consensus began forming. The world is continuously flooded with scientific studies documenting environmental decay and destruction by the hand of humankind. They all say essentially the same thing: human societies and planetary health are in existential peril. Transformative, fundamental global human-systems change is the only effective option for avoiding the worst of the sixth mass extinction, anthropological global warming and world-spanning economic and social injustices that are off the charts.
But few hear these cries – and even fewer listen. Stuffy journal publications are simply not capable of grabbing busy, over-committed people by the shirt collar and shaking them into an emotional awareness of our collective problems. While no one knew what would happen with OVER, trying something different seemed well worth the risk.
The demand for the OVER books was beyond our wildest expectations – fueled by over 250 mass-media articles, reaching over 1 billion readers in 47 countries. A second printing of the book was ordered this summer and you — the Speak Out community — now have an additional 4,200 copies to work with. The goals remain the same: emotionally engage policy-makers, conservationists and students all over the world.
This is very much your campaign. Please take a moment to consider colleagues, friends, associates – perhaps even adversaries – that need to get a copy of OVER. Submit your ideas, or refer your contacts to our Book Champion proposal form online. OVER and Speak Out have already made a real difference in the world, but in some senses we are just getting started. It should be a very, very interesting journey as we continue working throughout 2015 and look ahead to 2016. | 2019-04-20T02:26:35 | https://populationspeakout.org/news/overdevelopment-overpopulation-overshoot-the-story-of-a-2nd-printing/ |

The design of appropriate landscapes for assisted living, healthcare, aged care and dementia care is a speciality of our team. Through our extensive experience in this field, we have developed a strong understanding of the needs of residents and take special attention in developing landscapes that promote safe but stimulating social and physical activity. We use our expertise to design landscapes that help promote an active lifestyle, maintain health, enhance well-being and promote recovery. The outdoor spaces we create provide both mental and physical stimulus which maximise these benefits.
Landscape design for healthcare facilities plays a critical role in “humanising” an otherwise confronting, intimidating and institutional environment usually associated with sickness and bereavement. Through good landscape design, the anxiety and distress that many visitors and patients experience at hospitals can be reduced, with the gardens providing an opportunity for visual and physical enjoyment that can be therapeutic and stimulating to offer temporary distraction and relief from troubles and cares.
The gardens should imbue a sense of tranquillity, offering a variety of different spaces that provide a refuge for visitors and patients, and an opportunity to connect with nature. Provision of shade and shelter, a variety of seating options, garden ornamentation and both still and moving water are important elements to create an inviting, tranquil environment.
Landscape design for aged residents needs to consider accessibility, aesthetics, comfort and functionality. Studies show that landscapes which promote and encourage physical and mental well-being, such as walking and socialisation, provide a long-term, beneficial investment. Provision of easy access to the outdoors that encourages time outside offers many health benefits, whether through purely passive enjoyment by the less able, or more active enjoyment by physically able residents through gardening activities and interesting walking routes.
Our team design quality, durable landscapes that offer attractive, safe, stimulating and engaging spaces for aged care facilities with ease of maintenance a key consideration. Our clients include the Regis Group, RAAFA Bullcreek, Opal, AEGIS Care and MercyCare. We aim to create a unique environment for each development, as can be seen in the individual projects we have completed. | 2019-04-20T16:38:47 | http://plane.com.au/areas-of-work/healthcare-retirement-living/ |
