‘Cool hunting’ isn’t new or revolutionary at this point. Youth marketing firms have been embedding researchers into niche communities for years, gleaning trends and data and using this information to create customized marketing campaigns for their clients. With the widespread growth of the Internet, ‘cool hunting’ can now be accelerated in a way that previous generations of marketers would have salivated over. Using social media, message boards, and place-based messaging out in the field, trends can be caught as they’re born and the early adopters of these trends can be more quickly profiled and monitored.
Cool hunting, of course, traditionally takes place out on the streets, where marketers can enmesh themselves into vibrant sub-cultures. Usually this is not done to push a product, but rather to absorb information about a niche group that would normally be difficult to acquire. Street marketing now has the added benefit of a different kind of social network, seen in location-based sites like Foursquare. The newer augmented reality apps on many smartphones also allow for marketers to view a tremendous amount of information without ever having to speak to anyone. The new age of cool hunting has just begun.
Crowdsourcing is also a powerful technique that has accelerated due to the growth of the Internet as a popular medium. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and countless others can be used to gauge how people view a particular product or service. This information can then be shaped by marketing teams in order to craft advertisements and viral campaigns that either addresses the public’s reaction or tries to steer it in a different direction.
Crowdsourcing has grown out of the sheer popularity of the Internet as a place where people fervently share their opinions. From comment threads underneath YouTube videos to blogs to Twitter lists and Quora Q&A’s, point of views are not hard to come by online.
But how does a marketer make sense of all those different opinions?
Short of an expensive data mining operation, all this information may not add up to a singular picture of consumer attitudes. The responsibility of the marketer is look for specific messages and points of entry. There are going to be positives and negatives on most any subject. Nary a business, company name, product or service out there has a completely perfect reputation. Negative opinions must be considered just as much as the positive, if not more. Negative opinions can become the backbone of a future marketing campaign that can distill its impact. But you’ve got to know what those opinions are first.
One of the best ways to market your business is to sponsor fun, exciting events for people to attend. Concerts, conventions, parties are good examples. Not only will these events create environments in which you can observe peoples’ likes and dislikes, they will allow you to brand your company in a certain way, creating a trigger of positive imagery that people associate with you.
A great example of this is multimedia parties that partner several companies for the purpose of creating viral word of mouth. For example, a car company may want to market a certain model to a younger demographic. What better way to do this than to showcase the car at a party where this demographic would be enjoying itself. The marketing company behind this may be able to accomplish to things with such an event: one) they will be able to essentially create their own laboratory for studying the fashion, product and behavior trends of this demographic, and two) they will be creating a new branded identity for the car–a fun-friendly, exciting new image that could gain momentum through word of mouth advertising.
Marketing has, in many ways, become more tricky, even though many would agree that there are more powerful tools for effectively waging successful campaigns. The advent of online technology in marketing has made it more effective and more complex. Using crowdsourcing, cool hunting, and events that promote cultural immersion and positive branding are ways to market without being seen as ‘marketing’.

Shokichi Squash Ragù & Mafalda Pasta Fill 1 Created with Sketch.
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Peel and mince the garlic. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; discard the stems and finely chop the leaves. Cut off and discard the ends of the squash; using a knife, carefully peel and halve the squash. Scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds, then medium dice the squash. Small dice the celery. Cut the garlic chives into ¼-inch pieces.
In a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add ¼ of the garlic and up to half the rosemary (you will have extra rosemary); cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add 2 tablespoons of water; cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any browned bits, 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked off. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.
In the same pan, melt half the butter on medium-high until hot. Add the squash and celery; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the remaining garlic and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add 1¼ cups of water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the squash has softened and the water has cooked off. Remove from heat.
While the ragù simmers, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain thoroughly.
Add the cooked mushrooms, cooked pasta, crème fraîche, remaining butter, half the garlic chives and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the pan. Cook on medium-high, stirring vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. (If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining pasta cooking water to achieve your desired consistency.) Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the finished pasta between 2 dishes. Garnish with the cheese and remaining garlic chives. Enjoy! | 2019-04-19T21:11:06 | https://www.blueapron.com/recipes/shokichi-squash-ragu-mafalda-pasta-with-mushrooms-garlic-chives-rosemary |

RawTherapee lets you batch-adjust, or sync, the processing settings in many photos at the same time in generally two ways. It lets you copy and paste a processing profile (a collection of tool settings), in parts or in full, to any number of images. It also lets you select any number of images and adjust any tool in all of them at once (sync), and it lets you do this in two ways. Let's take a closer look.
Both ways involve making a selection of photos you want the processing profile or adjustments applied to. Selections are made using standard key combinations: Shift+click to select a range, Ctrl+click to select individual images, or Ctrl+A to select everything. Both ways are performed from the File Browser tab. The "copy & paste" method can also be done via the Filmstrip.
Copying and pasting a processing profile to a selection of images is a very common task. Assume you took a series of photos - for example studio shots, wedding portraits or focus-bracketed macro photos. All images in each series are going to be very similar; they will probably use the same lens, the same ISO, the same white balance, and end up being used for the same purpose. This means that they will all probably require the same processing settings - the same noise reduction, the same sharpening and lens distortion correction, and so forth.
To process the lot, what you would usually do is open any one image from the whole series in the Editor tab and tweak it to your liking. Once you have finished tweaking it, you will apply this image's processing profile to all other images in the same series. To do that, go to the File Browser tab, right-click on this photo and select "Processing Profile Operations > Copy", then select the images you want to apply this profile to, right-click on any one of them (it doesn't matter which) and select "Processing Profile Operations > Paste". In one quick operation you have replicated the same tool settings in the whole series of images.
Additionally, RawTherapee lets you apply only a part of the copied processing profile, for example only the "Resizing" tool. To do this, use the "Processing Profile Operations > Paste Partial" option instead of the "Paste" option.
RawTherapee lets you instantly apply tool adjustments to a selection of images. Similar functionality in other software is called "sync". This method is useful for when you don't need to see an accurate preview of your changes, for example when you only want to enable the "Resizing" tool in a selection of photos, because when working in the File Browser tab your only preview are the small and inaccurate thumbnails. This method can only be performed from the File Browser tab because you need access to that tab's batch tools (the panel on the right).
When you're in the File Browser tab, select the images you want to batch-adjust (sync), then use the tool panel on the right to make adjustments. Your tweaks can either replace the existing ones ("Set" mode), or be added to them ("Add" mode). For example if you select two photos, one of which has previously been tweaked with +1EV Exposure Compensation and one which has not, and you set Exposure Compensation to +0.6EV, then the previously-tweaked photo would end up having +1.6EV Exposure Compensation in "Add" mode and just +0.6EV in "Set" mode. The photo which was not previously tweaked would have +0.6EV in both modes. You can decide which tools should work in which mode from the Batch Processing tab in Preferences.

An air tanker drops retardant while battling a wildfire near Mariposa, California, Wednesday, July 19, 2017.
With much of the region transitioning to winter-like conditions and reduced threats from wildfires, Cal Fire’s Amador-El Dorado Unit has officially moved out of peak fire season.
“With the return of the wet season here in the foothills the fire danger is substantially lower. However, the public needs to remain vigilant and focus on being fire safe at home. Start by making sure your chimney is clean and has been serviced,” Scott Lindgren, Amador-El Dorado unit chief, said in a press release.
Cal Fire will continue to monitor weather conditions closely and still has the ability to increase staffing if weather conditions change or if there is a need to support wildfires or other emergencies in other areas of the state.
While many parts of the state are making a similar transition, other areas are still seeing unusual conditions. That includes Southern California, which saw record breaking temperatures on Thanksgiving.
In downtown Los Angeles, the high was 91 degrees, the warmest for a Thanksgiving Day since the National Weather Service began keeping records in 1877. The previous record Thanksgiving Day high was 90, set on Nov. 26, 1903.
Elsewhere, it reached 93 degrees by mid-afternoon in the Orange County city of Fullerton. It was also 93 at Van Nuys Airport in the San Fernando Valley.
Temperatures ranged from the low to mid-80s in the normally cooler coastal areas to the mid-90s in valleys.
Across the state, the 2017 fire season proved to be extremely active — even more so than 2016, according to Cal Fire.
Statewide, Cal Fire and firefighters from many local agencies responded to more than 6,000 wildfires within the State Responsibility Area — amounting to nearly 505,000 acres burned.
In the Amador-El Dorado Unit, Cal Fire responded to 232 wildfires that charred 2,268 acres.
During the cooler winter months, Cal Fire will focus its efforts on fire prevention and fuels treatment activities, the agency said in its press release. These will be done through public education, prescribed burns and various types of fuel reduction activities aimed at reducing the impacts of wildfires and improving overall forest health.
Residents are urged to continue taking precautions outdoors in order to prevent sparking a wildfire. | 2019-04-23T22:50:35 | https://www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/peak-fire-season-officially-over-in-el-dorado-co/ |
From time to time I review books that I have been reading as well as wargame figures/models that I have received or are using. I do it for fun and to provide some background for those new into the hobby of wargaming. This section then is divided into three parts, Book Reviews, Figure Reviews and Rules Reviews. For clarity of navigation, there are three sub-pages included (funnily enough, for Books, Figures and Rules) but you can access the reviews directly from here as well. | 2019-04-20T11:20:04 | https://thomo.coldie.net/wargames/reviews/ |
Five stars for this comedy-drama (trailer) based on the best-selling Michael Lewis book about the 2008 financial crisis and the lonely voices in the wilderness calling, “Housing bubble,” “Housing bubble,” “This will end baaaadleeee.” The idea that mortgage-backed securities could be anything other than rock solid so went against conventional wisdom that no one listened. But, as we know now, these securities had become more and more vulnerable as riskier loans were bundled into them, and the chaff soon outweighed the wheat.
It takes a bit of understanding about how this financial market operated to grasp the significance of the action. Director Adam McKay, who wrote the screenplay with Lewis and Charles Randolph, cleverly provides the necessary background, having characters break the fourth wall to speak directly to the audience. For example, from her symbolic bubble bath and sipping champagne, actress Margot Robbie tells us what a financial bubble actually means. It’s “ a terrifically enjoyable movie that leaves you in a state of rage, nausea and despair,” says A.O. Scott in his New York Times review, which includes a clip from McKay on some of the clever ways the film explains the financial goings-on.
The cast does an exemplary job of embuing characters with strong personalities. Christian Bale plays Dr. Michael Burry, a loner physician-turned-hedge-fund-manager who figures out the problem early (and whose character confirms my aversion to heavy metal music). He takes the unprecedented step of actually looking at the individual mortgages bundled into the securities being offered and sees that many of them are weak and involve adjustable rate loans. When their interest rates go up, the homeowners will default. This, to him is an investment opportunity; he’ll bet against the mortgage market. The banks are happy to back his scheme (involving credit default swaps), seeing it as a sure-fire winner for them.
One of the banks he approaches has on staff a skeptical analyst, played by Ryan Gosling, who believes the good doctor may just be right. He convinces the unconventional trading firm led by Mark Baum (Steve Carell) to invest in the swaps, too. In one of the movie’s funniest sequences, Baum sends staff to Florida to investigate some of these mortgages. They find unbuilt houses, a forest of “for sale” signs, and two beach-bum mortgage brokers (Max Greenfield and Billy Magnussen) , who don’t hesitate to say they will insure basically anything. “Why are they confessing?” Baum whispers to his staffer. “They’re not confessing. They’re bragging,” he replies. Similarly, Melissa Leo, as an official at an investment rating agency, is badgered into explaining how, if her firm rated investments accurately, the banks would just take their business down the street.
In a Colorado garage, another pair of youthful investors (played by John Magaro and Finn Wittrock) wants to parlay $30 million into a bigger fortune. They set out to New York to figure out how. There they stumble onto the real estate problem and see the credit default swaps as their big chance, but they need connections, and they get help from their neighbor back home, a disenchanted former investment banker (Brad Pitt).
It’s telling that the few people who foresaw and took advantage of the inevitable crisis were all, one way or another, Wall Street outsiders. They weren’t unaware that their gains were made on the backs of everyday Americans who lost billions in housing value, jobs and homes, pension fund value, and savings. Meanwhile, the many individuals and institutions whose carelessness, greed, or criminality created the bubble in the first place have not been called to account. No less an expert than Paul Krugman has written, “I think (the movie) does a terrific job of making Wall Street skullduggery entertaining, of exploiting the inherent black humor of how it went down.” And, even more important, he says it “got the underlying economic, financial, and political story right.” And it’s still a story lots of people don’t want Americans to hear.

Got the idea while playing Hearts of Stone DLC. It doesn't have much to do with the game really, it's somewhat more personal.
To turn your heart to stone Is to feel but always lone, To turn your heart to stone Is to be as dry as a cone.
To turn your heart to stone Is to give yourself to Persephone, To turn your heart to stone Is to be as frail as a crone.
To turn your heart to stone Is to sit on a frozen throne, To turn your heart to stone Is to be forever alone. | 2019-04-22T15:03:05 | https://commaful.com/play/adiafrasinei/to-turn-a-heart-to-stone/ |

"History and Martyrological Tragedy: The Jewish Experience in Sholem Asch and André Schwarz-Bart" by Stanley Brodwin, in Twentieth Century Literature, 40(1), Spring 1994, p. 72.
André Schwarz-Bart, born in Metz in 1928 to Polish immigrants, was 11 years old when World War II broke out. Over the next five years he joined the Maquis, was captured by the Nazis, escaped, and finally fought with the Free French Army until the liberation of Europe. By the time the war was over, however, his own survival was overshadowed by the murder of the rest of his family in Nazi extermination camps. It was undoubtedly this tragedy that supplied the influence for his first foray into literature, his celebrated novel Le Dernier des justes (1959; The Last of the Just, 1960).
Because the onset of war had severely disrupted his education, Schwarz-Bart was largely ignorant of critical events and motifs in Jewish literature and culture. Perhaps due to these gaps the traditional legend of the Lamed-Waf was transformed—some say distorted—in his novel. Whereas in most versions of the legend the Righteous Men appear as isolated individuals, unknown both to one another and indeed to all other people until a time of anti-Semitic crisis, in Schwarz-Bart's story the Lamed-Waf belong to the one clan, the Levy family, with the mantle of righteousness passing as an inheritance from one generation to the next.
As a consequence the legend is changed in his version into a story of preordained self-sacrifice. Thus, in a curious paradox, although the novel stands as a particularly bitter indictment of European Christendom's anti-Semitic history, there remains a semi-Christian flavor to the text that for some readers jars oddly with the legend's intrinsic Jewishness.
It is possible, however, that this transformation of the legend is not in fact the result of cultural ignorance on Schwarz-Bart's part. Rather it is perhaps better understood as the author's best interpretation of Jewish survival in the midst, and in spite, of centuries of persecution. In other words, in the dark shadow of the Holocaust, and with the horror of Nazi genocide having struck him a deeply personal blow, Schwarz-Bart's natural question concerned the possibility of survival in such circumstances. How, after all that European Jewry had undergone, could there still be a remnant left? In this context the trajectory of his novel becomes less a matter of self-sacrifice and more a matter of cautious hope. If Auschwitz was the great "No!" to the Jewish people, Schwarz-Bart's novel attempts to circumscribe that "No!" with a "Nevertheless!"
If this is the case then Schwarz-Bart's place in the pantheon of Holocaust writers possibly lies more with Elie Wiesel than Richard Rubenstein. The latter felt compelled by the Holocaust to reject the traditional Jewish perception of God and return in desperation to Camusian philosophy, nature worship and, later, mysticism. In contrast Wiesel employed his despair to offer up questions to God, to accept with humility the fatuousness of certainty, and to circumscribe his doubts with the ever present "And yet … "
Both Wiesel and Schwarz-Bart have raised the most serious questions about God and his dealings with the Jewish people. Neither have been able adequately to answer their own queries. For both, the Holocaust casts a shadow over the comfort of covenantal relationship. But both prefer to leave their questions open rather than closing them with the finality of unbelief. The necessity of their respective "Howevers" or "And yets" speaks of their despair in the wake of the Shoah but also of their reluctance to admit final defeat. It is for this reason that, in spite of its title, Schwarz-Bart's novel The Last of the Just does not resonate with ultimate gloom. The Holocaust does not have the last word. A presence remains, righteousness is alive—somewhere.

There are ‘given ups,’ and there are ‘grown ups.’ ‘Grown ups’ are adults who are still in the game. They are the ones who still believe that, despite the odds, how we think and what we do in the coming years can reverse global warming. Grown ups believe we can gift the next generation with a stable climate in which they can grow and thrive. I have just spent the weekend in the company of about 200 amazing grown ups (and about 10 amazing activist youth) at the Drawdown Learn conference in New York at the Omega Institute. In 2017, I was very excited to learn about the publication of the book Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever to Reverse Global Warming because it was a solid plan that listed and explained the top 80 most impactful solutions. In the fall of 2017 I used parts of the text in my freshman seminar on climate comedy and in spring of 2018 for our ENVS course, Creative Climate Communication. In each of these courses, student groups participated in a public-facing project I created, Drawdown Act Up, which challenged students to design embodied activities/games and skits to activate the solutions for youth visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park. The activities/games physicalize the science behind a Drawdown climate solution, and the accompanying funny skit contextualizes the solution and cleverly demonstrates how to activate that solution locally in daily life. This is based on the evidence that embodying concepts is beneficial to learners. Engaging youth in a solutions-oriented performance in regards to climate change can increase youth levels of empowerment and promote commitment to positive action. This is based in ongoing research by Max Boykoff and myself into the effective use of comedy for communicating climate (see our most recent article in Political Geography “A Laughing Matter? Confronting climate change through humor”). In the summer of 2018, a small group of students led and performed these activities and skits for Discovery Day at Rocky Mountain National Park for visiting families. At the Drawdown Learn conference I presented on this curriculum, the experience of sharing it at RMNP, and on the research we did on the positive impact of this curriculum on our ENVS students.
During the rest of the conference, I was encouraged to hear very smart gown ups say that when we are told the goal seems impossible is when we become most brilliant. What calls forth the best in us all is when the stakes are the highest and the odds the toughest. It will take a mighty many of us to get this done. We each have our own unique contribution to make. As a performer, I take it literally that we each have a ‘part to play’ in reversing global warming. For me it means supporting students in writing the plays and playing the parts of a new story based on a solid plan being put to action. Although the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report may have given some of us fleeting ‘game over’ thoughts, I am fortified in my conviction that in this moment right now, each of us with our own unique and necessary talent, is more than ever before, GAME ON.

Another Asian hornet nest has been found and destroyed in Fowey England, This is the second nest to be found in Fowey and was found close to the site of the 1st nest.
Currently work is now on-going to ensure no further nests are present. The Defra press release advises that Local beekeepers in the surrounding area are supporting this effort, including in Liskeard where a single sighting of an Asian hornet occurred.
Members of the public are also encouraged to report any further sightings of Asian hornets.
If you suspect you have seen an Asian hornet you can report this using the iPhone or Android app ‘Asian Hornet Watch’ or by emailing [email protected]. Identification guides and more information are available.
Asian hornet (Vespa velutina): a devourer not only of bees.
Invasive alien species are the second leading cause of the loss of biodiversity in the world after the destruction of habitats. The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) was accidentally arrived in south west France in 2004 expanding across French territory, but also in Spain, Portugal and Italy. The velutina is a predator of bees, but unlike the Asian honeybee (Apis cerana) the European bee (Apis mellifera) does not exhibit effective defensive behaviour. The expansion of the Asian hornet has been expeditious, arriving during the period of 2009-2010 to the Iberian Peninsula (Basque Country and Navarre). Later new foci of entry were observed both in the north of Spain and Portugal, colonizing in a few years almost all parts of the northwest peninsular. Much of the feeding of these hornet colonies is based on bees and other insects, and although the impact they may have on the wild insect population is unknown, it has become a major threat to beekeeping and biodiversity, as well as for other productive sectors (forestry and fruit growing). | 2019-04-25T14:20:40 | https://www.vespavelutina.co.uk/vespavelutinanews/category/asian-hornet-vespa-velutina-a-devourer-not-only-of-bees |

Accept a connection on a socket previously created by stream_socket_server().
The server socket to accept a connection from.
Override the default socket accept timeout. Time should be given in seconds.
Will be set to the name (address) of the client which connected, if included and available from the selected transport.
Can also be determined later using stream_socket_get_name().
Returns a stream to the accepted socket connection or FALSE on failure.
This function should not be used with UDP server sockets. Instead, use stream_socket_recvfrom() and stream_socket_sendto().
// while there is connection, i'll receive it... if I didn't receive a message within $nbSecondsIdle seconds, the following function will stop.
To check if there's a new connection waiting, without blocking, or (when using non-blocking mode) without notices), you can use stream_accept (as opposed to socket_select).
this function, compared to the function socket_accept, got an extra argument "timeout".
To make this function wait indefinitelly to incoming connections, just as in socket_accept, set timeout to -1. It works for me with PHP 5.0.4.
Note that if you use 0 as timeout, the connection will timeout right away.
To whom it may concern, and it may concern you greatly, stream_set_blocking has no effect on stream_socket_accept.
If you want it to return right away, connection or not, use 0 for the timeout parameter. | 2019-04-21T06:25:16 | https://php.net/function.stream-socket-accept |

Cigna CEO David Cordani Friday said the addition of the pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts is helping bring new choices for the PBM’s customers to medical plans the insurer sells.
The addition of Express Scripts allows Cigna “additional capabilities that will offer new choice,” Cordani told analysts on a 75-minute call with analysts to discuss the company’s fourth quarter earnings. He said the insurer is already starting to meet with brokers and consultants about coming new capabilities of the combined company, saying what they are offering is "not a net new concept," but an expansion of choices.
Insurers are closing ranks around a model that brings the PBM closer to the health plan in hopes of creating a savvier buyer of prescription medicines while seeking more transparency. The addition of Express Scripts to Cigna’s businesses puts it in competition with UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest health insurer that owns the PBM OptumRx, and CVS Health, which owns the Caremark PBM and last year bought Aetna, the nation’s third largest health insurer.
PBMs in particular have been the subject of scrutiny by consumers and policymakers with the Trump administration just this week announcing proposed new regulations for Medicare drug plans that would change how prescription discounts are negotiated. The PBM’s share of rebates, which is the portion of the drug returned by the seller to the buyer, has turned into a nationwide controversy and drawn the attention of the Trump administration and Congress.
The regulations are seen as bringing an end to rebates, a controversial approach drug makers have used to keep drugs on PBM and health plan preferred lists known as formularies. Cigna said the new rules are focused on Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare part D drug plans. “We don’t see a major implication to that business portfolio,” Cordani told analysts Friday morning.
Rather, Cordani said the new regulations could provide Cigna with an opportunity to launch more value-based models with drug makers. He wasn’t specific with what such value-based approaches look like but generally such models reward medical care providers for the quality of the care they provide. In this case, drug makers would be rewarded for a prescription that improves health outcomes.
In its earnings report, Cigna said total medical customers in its health insurance plans rose 3.6 percent to 16.96 million in the fourth quarter compared to the year ago period thanks to big jumps in new customers in its commercial and government businesses.
Net income dropped to $144 million, or 55 cents a share, for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31 of last year. That compares to $266 million, or $1.07 a share in the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted revenue rose to $13.75 billion. | 2019-04-24T02:38:44 | https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2019/02/01/cigna-ready-to-lure-express-scripts-customers-to-health-plans/ |
Acne on your body can be extremely frustrating. You know it’s there and you know you’re hiding it. It can also be a lot more difficult to treat. The best solution to this problem is getting the best body wash. It’s the easiest and most effective way to remove body acne- all you need to do is use it while bathing. Your skin will be sure to thank you.
For me personally, I much prefer using a body wash to soap. It’s a more enjoyable experience and that’s what bathing should be- enjoyable. All you do is squeeze the product out of the bottle and apply it to your problem areas. It’s not messy and you don’t have to worry about over-pouring. It’s portable and easy to store.
Soap is a different story- it’s just not nearly as efficient. It can stain the shelf on your shower and overtime it’s likely to collect hair. Now I’m certainly not trying to discourage you from using soap. There are many good soaps available that can improve your skin. I just believe that body wash is superior when it comes to bathing.
Exposed Skincare makes the best product on the market. And it’s really not even close. They have terrific reviews to Amazon and similar websites. Other popular brands you see on television like Old Spice and Dove contain harmful chemicals that can irritate your skin. These chemicals include but are not limited to: SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), artificial colors, and added fragrances. In many cases these chemicals will end up drying your skin. So instead of taking of helping your condition, you could be making things worse. Also, these brands are not specifically targeted for acne treatment so you can’t reasonably expect results.
It’s always best to go with a more natural solution- and that’s exactly what Exposed Skincare provides. It’s formula is specifically designed to target and treat your acne. Here are a few of their main ingredients: sage extract, pro Vitamin B-5, and tea tree oil. These nutrients work together in order to clear your pores and detoxify your skin. They will also stabilize your body’s oil production. The product is free of sulfate and paraben. If you use this product everyday then you can expect to see significant improvement after only 30 days. Usually you will see noticeable results even sooner.
The price is certainly reasonable for the quality and assurance you receive. Keep it mind that 12 fluid ounces is a relatively large amount. The bottle should last you at least three months if you use it daily.
I’ve personally dealt with Exposed Skincare and I will say that their customer service is top notch. They genuinely care about their customers and will help with any questions you have. They also offer refunds is you are dissatisfied for any reason. They offer full refunds because they are confident that their product works. There’s really little to lose and much to gain by trying their product.

Ever got stuck in a mobile game? What if the game could offer you instant access to videos of other players completing the level that’s been causing you trouble? That’s one of the premises of Kamcord, a mobile gaming video startup that announced a $7.1 million Series A round of funding Thursday. The investment was led by led by TransLink Capital, with DeNA, SV Angel, Innovation Works, KLab, M&Y Growth Partners, and XG Ventures all participating.
Kamcord’s main product has been an SDK that allows iOS game developers to add the ability to instantly record gameplay and then share these videos either in the game, through Kamcord’s own platform or even through social networks. The startup also released an iOS app that can be used to watch these videos, and discover new mobile games that way.
Kamcord’s SDK is already being used in 260 games. Users of the service have shared more than five million videos, and one million videos were shared during March alone. The company isn’t the only one looking to capture and share mobile game play, but the idea is nonetheless intriguing. I could for example imagine that Apple (S AAPL) or Google could take a closer look at this approach, and one day decide to use mobile game videos to show visitors of their app stores what a game really is about. | 2019-04-19T20:56:44 | https://gigaom.com/2014/05/01/kamcord-gets-7-1-million-in-funding-for-mobile-game-videos/ |

Sri Lanka has expressed commitment to support good governance, accountability and informed decision making. The practice of high quality evaluation is a globally accepted requirement for strong evidence-based decision making at the national level. Evaluation is the systematic assessment of policies, programmes and projects to determine the relevance and fulfillment of objectives, development efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability. An Evaluation should provide information that is credible and useful enabling the incorporation of lessons learned into national decision–making processes. Evaluation also promotes learning and a knowledge-based society that is in keeping with Sri Lanka’s vision for the future. Such initiatives will contribute greatly towards building a knowledge-based, strategic and high performing parliament and government that can achieve equitable and transparent development results for the people of Sri Lanka.
A National Evaluation Policy (NEP) is seen as an essential tool that sets professional standards for evaluation. A NEP in Sri Lanka would be invaluable to create an evaluation culture within the country. It would contribute to improving transparency, accountability and good governance and facilitate evidence-based decision making. Further, an NEP can improve Parliamentary accountability and support oversight functions and provide substantial guidance to national strategic planning.
Being historical in the parliament history in the world, on 9th August 2016, Hon. Buddhika Pathirana submitted an adjournment motion proposing to the Parliament of Sri Lanka to have a National Evaluation Policy and evaluation system for the country. Two months later, he moved a further Adjournment Motion to allocate funds from the national budget for evaluation. These two motions generated active discussion in Parliament and have contributed to formation of the Sri Lanka Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation (SLPFE).The SLPFE Forum was launched at the Parliament of Sri Lanka in October 2016. Hon. Ananda Kumarasiri was appointed as the convener of the forum. The SLPFE is linked to the Parliamentarians Forum for Development Evaluation-South Asia and the Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation.

Divorce is the legal remedy sought to terminate one’s marriage. In California, all divorces are considered “no fault” divorces. This means that either spouse can seek a divorce without requiring that spouse to prove the other party did something wrong. What this means, is that since neither party is at fault, neither party is treated more harshly than the other for their alleged conduct that led to the end of the marriage. What took place within the marriage is irrelevant to the divorce. Because California is a no-fault jurisdiction, if one party wants the divorce and the other does not, there is little the responding party can do about it.
Divorce terminates the martial or partner status of the parties, thus restoring them legally to the single individuals they were prior to the marriage. In order to restore the individuals to this status, the court must determine answers to issues of child custody and visitation, child support, partner support, property division, debt allocation, and attorney fees. In limited cases, the court may also consider awarding child support for adult children, depending on the situation.
No divorce should be treated in a one-size fits all approach. There are many options to consider such as mediation, arbitration, and litigation.
Mediation is the most cost effective and least intrusive method of legal separation. It involves the two parties negotiating through the assistance of a trained mediator.
Arbitration is the middle of the road between mediation and litigation. It incorporates the interpersonal communication between parties as in mediation, as well as the constraints of the litigation process.
Litigation is taking your case all the way to courtroom. Often, tension and emotions prevent parties from reaching a mutually agreeable decision on their own and need a judge to decide for them.
In addition to custody and support concerns, the court must also decide how to divide the property amongst the parties. In California, divisible property falls into three categories.
Community Property. Community property is all property, real or personal, wherever situated, acquired by a married person during the marriage while living in the state of California.
a. Examples of community property: any income earned by either spouse during the span of the marriage. Any real or personal property purchased or acquired during the marriage, including houses, vehicles, and luxury items. Also, any debt acquired by either party during the marriage.
Quasi-community Property. Quasi-community property is all real or personal property, wherever situation, acquired in one of two ways. First, any property acquired by either spouse while living in a state other than California, which would be considered community property if the spouse who acquired the property had bee living in the state of California at the time it was acquired. Also, any real or personal property, wherever situated, which would have been community property if the spouse who acquired the exchanged property had lived in the state of California at the time it was acquired.
a. Examples of quasi-community property could potentially include property purchased during the marriage in states outside of California.
Separate Property. Separate property of a married person includes all property owned by the person before marriage and all property acquired by the person after marriage by gift, bequest, devise, or descent.
a. Examples of separate property: any property owned by a spouse prior to marriage. Any property that was obtained by a spouse after a legal separation proceeding. Any gift or inheritance from a third party. Also includes any debts incurred before the marriage.
All divorce situations are different and deserve to be treated as such. Please contact our office to discuss your specific circumstances.

Our lamentably short winter made it easier this year for our small group of nighttime observers to catch the salamander and frog breeding display without having to deal with deep wet snow. Breeding occurs with the first warm rain, and this year it was March 10. We got lucky and saw a salamander “congress,” the writhing mass of male salamanders the night they lay their spermatophores. The photo shows only a few; we watched for a long time as they clustered and went in and out of the leaf bed. The next two pictures show a male Spotted Salamander and the third proof that we have Jefferson salamanders too. Then, a night later, at another pool, I heard a weird duck-like sound which is the mating call of a male wood frog. Then a churning object in the water with many frogs converging through the clear water. It is “amplexus,” where the successful male clutches the female for hours while she lays her eggs and the defeated suitors (look carefully) swim away.
Fun pictures. We are interested in a night amphibian walk. | 2019-04-26T13:03:44 | http://glacierpoolspreserve.com/2016/04/02/salamanders-and-frogs/ |

Today is a very sad day at BonAppetit.com. No, we haven't run out of bourbon. or Bugles. The various street carts, burger joints, and chopped-salad purveyors around our Times Square HQ are all still operational, as far as we know. We are sad, rather, because today marks the departure of Sam Dean, our staff writer for the past two years.
When he joined us, El Blanco—as he's known around the office—was but a newbie. "Food?" he was rumored to have said during his initial job interview. "Sure, I eat food." Though he didn't know much about the intricacies of the food-obsessed world then, he knew many other things of which we only gradually became aware. For one, despite being in his early 20s, he had the cultural reference points (music, movies, ad jingles) of someone two decades older. Perhaps relatedly, he was a master of the obscure and the esoteric: history, linguistics, forgotten science—"nerdery," as it was dubbed on our Website. Who else could summarize the history of the car cup holder, or delve so deeply into the etymology of mayonnaise, or recount every food moment in all of Quentin Tarantino's movies?
Finally, he was—and is—a damn fine writer, one who could, in a brief article about Chocolate-Dipped Coffee Ice Cream Glazed Doughnut Sandwiches, reference Elizabethan theater, Flaubert, and Paula Deen in the span of a couple of sentences, and make it all seem entirely effortless—natural, in fact. Because how could you not look at those doughnuts and not think of them as the art-historical "apotheosis" of the glazed-doughnut-as-bun golden age?
Now, however, he's giving up his cushy life here at BonAppetit.com to go live on his grandmother's farm in Colorado and research his grandfather's 1950s-era Las Vegas TV show—or something like that. As with all things Sam Dean, it's a little hard to believe, but so overwhelmingly entertaining that we have no choice but to accept his word—his inventive, well-crafted words—for it. And so, in honor of his contributions to BonAppetit.com, we've collected El Blanco's greatest hits for your enjoyment and edification, and for ours. | 2019-04-25T22:41:40 | https://www.bonappetit.com/people/our-team/slideshow/sam-dean-best-stories-ever |
List the reasons you want or need to change your will. Common reasons for changing a will include getting married or divorced, the birth or death of a child, the acquisition or disposal of large assets like a house, and the wish to change the persons who will receive your property when you die, according to FindLaw. Knowing what changes need to be made will help you decide how to go about changing your will.
Choose whether to change your will using a codicil or by writing a new will. A codicil is an amendment to your current will. Codicils are usually used for small changes like adding or deleting an asset or a beneficiary, according to FindLaw. Like the will itself, your codicil must be signed and witnessed by at least two witnesses in most states. Some states allow handwritten codicils to be attached to holographic wills -- wills written entirely by hand -- according to FindLaw. You may wish to rewrite your will, on the other hand, if you plan to change large portions of your will, such as when you have children and need to add them and name a guardian, according to FindLaw.
Write your codicil or new will. You can write these yourself or have an attorney write them for you. If you choose to write a new will, include a statement in your new will that says it is your last will and testament and that it revokes all previous wills and codicils you have made, according to the American Bar Association. This statement will help prevent confusion over which will you intended to have effect.
Consult an attorney. Although an attorney's assistance is not required when making a codicil or a new will, an attorney can help ensure the codicil or new will is valid by ensuring it follows the rules in your state for making and executing wills, according to the American Bar Association. Check with your attorney once a year to ensure your will covers all your assets and that it is still valid under your state's laws.
Gather up all previous codicils and wills and destroy them once the new codicil or will is finished, signed and witnessed. | 2019-04-19T18:53:29 | https://info.legalzoom.com/change-last-testament-3911.html |
A usual essay amenities various different categories of information, frequently realized in particular components or pieces. Even small essays perform various a lot of different applications: discover the discussion, examining documents, soaring counterarguments, concluding. Introductions and a conclusion have attached sectors, but other segments will not. Counterargument, as an example, can easily potentially glimpse in a section, to become a no fee-status portion, as percentage on the start, or in front of the finishing.

Go for a walk-through essays notice the construction of their own sources in addition to setting up their individual. These essays principally contain a descriptive thesis rather than an argumentative a person. Be cautious of paragraph openers that tutorial with «time» content («principal,» «succeeding,» «right after,» «then») or «itemizing» words and phrases («also,» «a different,» «as well as»). Regardless that they actually not in most cases warning complications, these section openers constantly present that essay’s thesis and composition will need do just fine: they propose in which the essay easily reproduces the chronology throughout give content (by way of the scenario of time text message: first of all this occurs, then that, and later a further element or perhaps directories example adhering to illustration («Besides, the usage of color selection implies an alternate way in which the painting separates concerned with intense and bad»). | 2019-04-26T08:21:04 | http://remont-televizorov-ufa.ru/uncategorized/authoring-instructions-in-college-students-daily.html |

The Office of Court Administration has asked for public comment on another proposed change to the rules of the Commercial Division.
seeks to promote more efficient, cost-effective pretrial disclosure by establishing a “preference” in the Commercial Division for the use of “categorical designations” rather than document-by-document logging. The parties would be expected to address privilege log issues as part of the meet and confer process, “and to agree, where possible, to employ a categorical approach to privilege designations.” If a party objects to the categorical approach and insists on a document-by-document log, the producing party, “upon a showing of good cause, may apply to the court for the allocation of costs, including attorney’s fees incurred.” To ensure that a party receiving a categorical privilege log receives comprehensible information, a responsible attorney for the producing party would be required to submit a certification under 22 NYCRR § 130-1.I-a setting forth specific facts supporting the privileged status of the materials in each category. The proposal also would treat uninterrupted email chains as a single document.

Two weeks before a massive power failure turned the lights out across Venezuela, Geovany Zambrano Rodríguez had done the unthinkable. The state electricity worker had joined colleagues in publicly accusing the Maduro government of “destroying” the national grid, and declaring themselves willing to rebuild it under “President Juan Guaidó”.
Speaking to an online television channel, the four Corpoelec workers said that incompetence, corruption and neglect had left Venezuela’s electrical infrastructure “on the floor”. Pointing to already frequent outages, they warned of total collapse. | 2019-04-21T23:02:11 | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/03/20/venezuelan-bankers-train-drivers-turn-maduro-amid-blackouts/ |

The Easter holidays are an ideal time to practice relaxation and breathing. A time to gather and take a moment to connect, calm and just be. Here are a few simple ideas ( and free audio) you can use now to help you and your family. Let’s be calm and connected!
Practice breathing by pretending to blow out candles.
Practice gentle breathing by blowing bubbles.
Let’s be the ocean waves breathing in and out.
Buy a party popper to help them to “blow out”.
Pretend to smell a favourite flower. Go into nature, blow and wish those worries away on dandelion puffs, it’s free!
This is very short relaxation audio for all age groups up to 12. It is simple and easy. Please let me know if it helps you!
2.Let’s find our safe place.
When we want to relax, we need to feel safe. This is a simple visualization that is can be used with all age groups from 5 onwards. It’s great for those older children who don’t want others to see what they might be doing. You do need to practise this together in order for them to master it. Depending on their capacity for self-control, some children will sometimes be able to go there better than other times, so remember to adjust your expectation during these times. If you don’t want to use the script, it’s at my SoundCloud account too.
Now we are going to leave that place on the count of 3, I then want you to open your eyes. 321…..open your eyes when you are ready! Then talk about their journey.
Lie down together, place your childs faviourite lovely on thier belly, then ask them to feel down into that place and notice thier lovely moving up and down from thier belly. This teaches your child how to breathe deeply.
Some children are “kinesthetic” Learners. They may need to relax by moving. They might become a tree, or move into being a turtle by going into its shell. | 2019-04-23T16:10:06 | https://bristolchildparentsupport.co.uk/relaxation-ideas-for-children/ |

We all know that we can search for anything using Google voice search in a Smartphone. A little surprise is that your SEO policy needs to adjust to an entirely new world of search queries. If you’re thinking how to do it or how you can manage all those SEO stuff, don’t worry about it. We are here to tell you what we should do to optimize the website for Google voice search.
Let’s take a look and see how voice search optimization works. So you can start considering your content policy for simple ways to optimize voice SEO.
In the article, we are going to discuss about the following matters. Let’s take a look.
What is voice search optimization for Google voice search?
How Google voice search optimization works?
In a few words, voice search optimization is the practice of taking part in voice search query and user activities into content that delivers a useful, related answer.
We recently drove our nuts with our voice assistant. Then we were watching Netflix, and the common questions about artists and shows came up. Every time we go through our phone to Google it, we calmly said, “OK, Google,” and our phone described the answer while we were still trying to type the words.
Within one hour, we had configured Google Voice Search on our Smartphone. We saw the effectiveness of being able to speak a query and get instant and related results.
From asking “What is my current location? How to write a professional CV? ” Voice search is exchanging the way customers cooperate with search engines and business websites. This is the way search engines network with your content.
We once asked our assistant, “How do we do Google voice search optimization?” Let’s see how it works.
The variance between your voice search SEO strategy and regular SEO strategy lies in phrasing.
Consumers have learned to type search queries a convincing way, often writing just one or two words and even choosing drop-down recommendations to complete their search. Short-tail keyword policies were born from these activities. Using mixtures of words dotted throughout copy to tell the search engine to serve that content.
The industry experts reported that consumers writing longer search queries were faster for making a purchase. So there are long-tail keyword strategies to match four to five words and exact phrases for more specific questions.
However, Google’s current Hummingbird algorithm uses hidden semantic indexing. This is finding the meaning behind the search rather than relying on the exact words. Learned user behavior doesn’t update with algorithm variations. Still the average users are pre-programmed to type in a robotic way.
We certainly don’t speak the way we enter queries into search engines.
Voice search optimization needs you to get into the shoes of your target viewers honestly. So you have to think as they think and speak as they speak. Their queries will be express in sentences, in the same way to how they would ask a friend.
Here you are going to discuss five easy ways to optimize for Google voice search. Let’s get started.
Identify your two to three spectators’ personas, and conduct online. Or even in-person investigation into the questions they are asking to find your products or services.
Inquire the same queries to your voice assistant(s), and see how the featured results are answering them. This can be the part of your optimization in Google voice search.
Select the top “how, where, when and what” queries that users most frequently ask to reach you. Then you should plan for page optimization and new or simplified article copy around those questions.
Keyword filling is gone! You can write text for Google voice search optimized content as speaking to a consumer or a friend.
By latent semantic indexing, you need to find alternative ways to phrase similar stuff. Hop onto different websites for synonyms. Or you can use a free keyword tool to find related keywords and phrases such as Google Keyword Planner.
Everyone wants to be a star! Often Google displays the consumer a top result in a featured snippet or an answer box. Do you want to do it for your websites too? Let’s see how it works.
Answer the question in one summarizing the paragraph. It can be one or two sentences maximum.
Answer the problem in a bullet list. So that it can be easily featured. Then go into more details about each point further.
Create an optimized video around the question.
Smartphone voice related searches are three times more related to being locally based than the text.
Having a responsive Smartphone website is vital to rate with Google’s algorithm. The sites that are Smartphone friendly will not be shown in answers for voice searches.
We hope that now you should feel confident to go for a voice optimization on your website. Now you can create an excellent voice search optimization strategy for your site. If you are still not sure and would rather experience strategists for help, contact us. | 2019-04-23T20:44:07 | https://devsyntech.com/how-to-optimize-a-website-for-google-voice-search/ |

Recently I have lost a large number of thick large spikes from plants. They are chewed through a few inches up from the base and have basically disappeared. The spikes (two of which were nearly 18 inches long) were chewed and 'taken away' as they couldn't be found.
Could this be rats or mice? I can't imagine anything else.
I haven't seen any but I am guessing I have lost a year of growth to vermin..........(they are grown outside by the way).
So what sort of product would you use to get rid of them?
Onc and Gaary like this.
Hi Bolero, my outdoor phal were chewed too on leaves and new growth spike. I can't find the culprits . It could be grasshopper, mice,cockroach or spider mite. Mine had mealy bugs too, it's frustrating.
I moved them indoor treating with alcohol and teabag.
I think my neighbours weed seemed to cause alot of problem to my orchids. They remain indoor now. I really don't know what I'm doing so I'm not in the position to even give advise. Here is what I know if I were to treat them with alcohol mix ration1-1 or other pesticide like neem oil, I need to get them away from alot of sunlight.
Indoor has pest as well, spreading baking powder, neem oil surrounding orchid pots would hinder insects I hope.
I know Phal are hardy, they will work hard on survival or even putting out a new growth before dying.
If I failed all of them, that's it for me. I have surrender to a mindset that my house and neighbours environment are not suitable to growing orchid.

Because of the size of the spike and the fact they disappear completely it's probably something larger.
Last night I lost a Laelia Anceps spike.........it has one left. Lost so many big spikes this year already so it's ruining my late Autumn/Early winter flowerings completely.
What I did though last night was put two rodent baits near where they had taken spikes previously. Both baits are completely gone, not on the ground..........not anywhere. So I am hopeful they took them back to the nests and I won't see them again. I will put out some baits again tonight and see what happens.
We recently had an infestation of rats from my neighbour's place, this did the trick.
Rat or could be a Cat too.
Thanks, I have something very similar.
The rodents took the baits back to their nest. Someone mentioned they might store them and not eat them unless food becomes scarce. So I have put two out and tied them to the bench so the little nasties can't hide them.
If it's a cat I feel sorry for the neighbours who own it.
The plants are being chewed on a very high wire mesh, I suspect it may not be a cat doing it.
These baits are taken, and you put them out every day until they don't get taken.
I found 4 dead rats around the place, but it took about 3 weeks.
Ah ok, good to know. I better get some more on my way home from work.
Can't afford to lose anymore spikes.
I have found this stuff better than Ratsack.
Ok, I have to get more as they keep taking it (even though tied and nailed down) which means they are still alive. So I will get that one and see if it speeds up the process.
Need to get more today on my way home from work.
Thanks Anton! Never had this problem before. So many lost spikes.
DON'T nail it down, let them take it, that's the idea behind this bait.
I used to put it on the rails of the fence dividing my place with the neighbours, and following their directions, put 5 blocks a night.
All blocks disappeared every night, and this occurred for at least 2 weeks, hence me buying the big box of Big Cheese. Once the pieces stop disappearing, it is just a "wait and see" how many bodies you find.
They take them back to the nest to feed themselves and any offspring, so, you can see why you need to let them take the blocks.
I now have quite a few blocks left in the big box I have, but, will have it on hand "just in case". With the neighbours I have on both sides, I think it is only a matter of time before I need to bait again.

A few days ago, we witnessed spider mites feeding on our orchids in numbers. A sign of trouble! As an instant response, we washed the plants thoroughly and wiped out every leaf. Orchid pests infestation generally does not require a professional assistance, but we are planning to consult a professional to take the recommendation about the use of chemical spray or any other DIY methods that may help.
Had the same issue. Something was chewing the edges. My friend told me that they could be grasshopper bites so I just used an insect spray.
As you have seen that few inches up from the base are chewed up that means someone is there for sure who is trying to damage your plants. As you think it could be rats or mice than there are chances that it could be so. You should have exterminators inspection in your house to confirm the suspect. Till then you can use products like Deer Out Rat, Mouse and Rodent Repellent, Outdoor Mouse Magic Repellent, etc. Hoping this would get you some help.

In some cases, it will take quite a while for your package to arrive. Plan for 5-6 weeks from departure to arrival, or longer, depending on the destination country. When your items ship, Anubeion will inform you of the USPS International tracking code, via email. Please note that once it arrives in the destination country, this changes and since Anubeion is not informed of the destination country tracking code, it is difficult if not impossible on this end to give updated arrival time by those means. Anubeion therefore advises International customers to check with their country’s postal mail service and/or Customs/Border agency. | 2019-04-26T01:52:12 | https://anubeion.com/international-customers/ |
If you are still trying to figure out where exactly to go for summer vacation, be sure to consider Sea World San Antonio . They are excited to announce some new changes and experiences you won’t want to miss out on.
Discovery Point, opening Saturday, May 21, 2016, is one of the newest dolphin habitats where you can get even closer to their family of bottlenose dolphins. From the top, you can view the 600,000-gallon Dolphin Lagoon, which has doubled in size and modeled after the company’s top-rated Discover Cove park in Orlando, Fl. 21 dolphins currently call Dolphin Lagoon home, and they range from ages 1-43. While most of them were born at Sea World, four of them were rescued by the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network and deemed non-releasable by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Dolphin Lagoon is connected to the park’s newly renovated shark, fish and coral reef aquarium known as Explorer’s Reef. Explorer’s Reef is home to more than 350 species of fish, invertebrates and amphibians, as well as 500 different species of sharks. Both areas are beautifully decorated with more than 7,100 plants including palms, ferns, bamboo and flowers.
If that isn’t enough, you can now also view the dolphins while they swim underwater. This underwater viewing area is a first for San Antonio Sea World, with floor to ceiling panoramic views to create a deeper connection between guests and one of the most intelligent sea creatures of all.
“As a world leader in animal care and conservation education, we are revolutionizing the way our guests learn about marine animals and ocean health, “ said Carl Lum, president of Sea World San Antonio. “Now more than ever, we’re creating experiences that can inspire guests and change minds, hearts and loves forever.
Not only will you be able to get an underwater glimpse of these extraordinary creatures, but Sea World San Antonio is also offering even more up close and personal experiences with the option to actually get into the water and swim with the dolphins, belugas and sea lions. Imagine getting to dress up in your very own wet suit, just like the Sea World expert trainers, and dive into the water with your favorite sea animal. During the swim, you will be able to see firsthand the communication and behavior of each animal and learn about the ongoing research and rescue efforts of Sea World.
Discovery Point can be explored by all guests as part of their SeaWorld San Antonio park admission. Guests can also make reservations for an additional fee to swim with dolphins, belugas, and sea lions. Swim participants must be at least 6 years old and children ages 6 to 12 must be accompanied by a paying adult who is also participating in the swim experience. Prices range from $125 to $155 per person.

Medical insurance is the logical answer to your family's healthcare needs. In the event of medical mishaps, suitable health coverage can save you from unanticipated medical bills. Shopping for a policy is tedious and needs evaluation of family's medical needs and finances. If you are a New Jersey resident, you can choose from wide range of coverage alternatives. The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance regulates the laws under which the New Jersey health insurers can sell private health plans to individuals and families.
To purchase individual medical insurance in New Jersey you must have resided in the state for a period of 6 months or have recently moved to the state with the intent of staying 6 months or longer. Medical underwriting is not permitted for individual health plans in New Jersey. This restricts the insurance companies from declining to provide health coverage to a person based on their past or current health status. New Jersey insurance carriers are required to offer five standardized individual health products that must include a basic health plan. The insurance carrier is allowed a 6-month look back period and a 12-month exclusionary period for pre-existing health conditions. The maximum exclusionary period is 12 months and elimination riders are not permitted. Premium rates are community based and may vary depending upon the age, gender and location of applicant. You are not eligible to buy individual medical insurance in New Jersey if you have access to group health insurance.
New Jersey law defines a small group as any company with 2-50 employees. Group health coverage for groups of this size is guarantee issue which prohibits the insurance carrier from declining coverage based upon the health status of the group. Insurance companies require that an employer provide proof of eligibility for each employee and must prove that the employee wishing to enroll in the group health plan work for the company at least 25 hours per week. Employers may impose a waiting period upon newly hired employees before allowing them to join the employer-sponsored health plan. The waiting period must be enforced consistently and may not vary. New Jersey law allows for groups of 5 or less to a have a 6 month look-back and exclusionary period on pre-existing conditions for any plan member that does not have prior creditable coverage. In determining rates, the insurance company may only consider the age, gender and family status of the group. Groups may not be charged higher rates for poor health status of employees. Insurance companies that offer small group medical insurance in New Jersey must offer five standardized plans and one HMO plan with benefits and coverage limits defined by state regulations. Other plans may be offered by each insurance carrier, but these standardized plans must be made available to allow small business owners the ability to compare rates on like plans from various insurance companies.
New Jersey has its own state mini-COBRA regulation enacted through Regulation Chapter 17B, Section 27-60 which applies to small group health plans within the state. COBRA is a continuation of coverage under the small group health plan, which may be elected upon the occurrence of a specific qualifying event. This allows the employee to remain on the group health plan and receive the same level of coverage for a specific period of time. Under New Jersey law, the period of time you may remain on the plan is dependent upon the qualifying event, with maximums of 18, 29 and 36 months. Election for continuation coverage must be made in writing within 30 days of the qualifying event and must be made available to any employee that has had a reduction in hours to less than 25, or has lost their job for a reason other than just cause. New Jersey does not have a conversion option for persons leaving a group health plan because New Jersey is a guaranteed issue state for the individual health market. | 2019-04-21T11:15:47 | https://www.healthcoveragefast.com/new-jersey-health-insurance |
Democratic leaders want Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign after news reports that he met with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. twice last year.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is defending his meetings with a Russian diplomat The Washington Post reports Sessions met twice with Russia’s ambassador during the presidential campaign and did not disclose it.
Now some Democrats want the attorney general to resign or at least keep away from the FBI investigation he’s overseeing into Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election.
INSKEEP: Here’s what we know. Sessions was a senator at the time of the reported meetings, and he was also advising presidential candidate Donald Trump.
MARTIN: The Post found Sessions met twice with Russia’s ambassador, including once in September, the height of the campaign. After the election, at his Senate confirmation hearing to become attorney general, Sessions said he didn’t know of any Trump campaign meetings with Russia.
JEFF SESSIONS: Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I didn’t have – not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.
INSKEEP: Sessions was answering Senator Al Franken, who now says if The Post report is true, Sessions must recuse himself from any decisions about the Russia probe. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said the same last night on CNN.
LINDSEY GRAHAM: If there is something there and it goes up the chain of investigation, it is clear to me that Jeff Sessions, who is my dear friend, cannot make this decision about Trump. So they may be not – there may be nothing there, but if there is something there that the FBI believes is criminal in nature, then for sure you need a special prosecutor.

Supporters of Proposition 64 say there is also a potential political solution.
Washington (CNN) The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama as the next attorney general, surviving a vocal push by Democrats to derail his nomination.
The final vote for Sessions — one of Trump’s closest advisers and his earliest supporter in the Senate — came after 30 hours of debate from Democrats and a stunning fight between liberal Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Senate Republicans which ended in her being forced to sit down after she was accused of impugning Sessions.
Sessions said he would resign from his office 11:59 p.m. Wednesday and the White House is scheduled to swear him in Thursday morning.
The fight over Sessions nomination spurred some of the most jarring, and at times personal attacks, rooted in allegations that Sessions was a racist — claims the Alabama senator and his supporters have fiercely denied. Even early in the nomination process, one of Sessions’ colleagues, Cory Booker, became the first sitting senator to testify against another sitting senator during his confirmation hearing.
While some left-leaning groups issued statements promising to stand up and continue raising awareness about their disagreements with Sessions, Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe questioned how effective they could be in trying to keep up the fight.
“What are they going to do? He’s the attorney general. Where does the fight start? Where’s the ammunition?” He said to reporters.
“‘Anyone who has used the power of his office as United States Attorney to intimidate and chill the free exercise of the ballot by citizens should not be elevated to our courts,'” Warren read from King’s letter. McConnell accused Warren of impugning Sessions on the Senate floor — a violation of Senate rules — and after a series of procedural votes, she was forced to sit down and stop debating.
Warren’s censure and subsequent reaction continued to largely overshadow the Sessions fight in the hours before his vote, but the Massachusetts Democrat told CNN’s Manu Raju said Sessions, whom she served with in the chamber, is just the latest example of a poor Cabinet choice.
Sessions was ultimately blocked from a federal judgeship and carried that battle scar into Wednesday’s final confirmation battle.
Democrats are expected to repeat the same 30-hour debate plan for Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Tom Price and could easily drag the fight over Treasury pick Steven Mnuchin into the weekend.
The tactics have yet to work in actually defeating any of Trump’s Cabinet picks, but they have fired up a base of Democratic and liberal activists irate over a series of Trump actions, not least of which was picking a Republican mega-donor in DeVos to run the Department of Education.
“When you get millions of calls and demonstrations and a nominee is exposed for being who they are, it’s going to have a profound and positive effect, even if she gains office. So we’re very happy with the results and we’re going to continue them,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday.
But Republicans have chafed at what they call “historic obstruction” and have argued that Trump needs his team in place.
“This is the slowest time for a new Cabinet to be up and running since George Washington. This level of obstruction at the beginning of an administration is really record-setting in a very unfortunate way. It’s really time for our friends on the other side to get over the election, let this administration get up and get running,” McConnell said Tuesday. | 2019-04-19T13:19:58 | https://usmarijuanaparty.net/tag/trump-administration/ |

Sydney's evangelical Anglicans have been the focus of a great deal of controversy and criticism in the Anglican world. Their blend of conservatism towards doctrine and radicalism towards the institutional church has made them something of an enigma to other Anglicans. But what makes them really tick? Michael Jensen provides a unique insider's view into the convictional world of Sydney Anglicanism. He responds to a number of the common misunderstandings about Sydney Anglicanism and challenges Sydney Anglicans to see themselves as making a positive contribution to the wider church and to the city they inhabit.
"For many observers, Sydney Anglicanism is an incomprehensible oxymoron--a diocese decidedly committed to the authority of Scripture and the primacy of its proclamation, yet institutionally yoked to the far more doctrinally progressive and liturgically centered Anglican Church of Australia, not to mention the wider Anglican Communion. What makes such an anomaly tick? Equally important, where should its undisputed vigor and clout head? A reflective son of the diocese, Michael P. Jensen is to be commended for providing a concise, articulate, and thoughtful book that seeks to answer both of these important questions. Henceforth, neither friend nor foe of Sydney Anglicanism will be taken seriously without first engaging Michael Jensen's timely apology and critique."
Michael P. Jensen is Lecturer in Doctrine and Church History at Sydney's Moore College. He is the author of Martyrdom and Identity: The Self on Trial (2010) and (with Tom Frame) Defining Convictions and Decisive Commitments: The Thirty-Nine Articles in Contemporary Anglicanism (2010).

Augustijn Brune - Beer - Buy Belgian beer online at Beer Planet BEEReSHOP - the largest selection of Belgian beers and beer glasses!
The beer is very dark amber in color. It poured with a finger high creamy tan head that has good retention properties; a thin layer of bubbles consistently covered the surface. A moderate amount of carbonation is visible.
Pours clear brown with reddish tint and huge, foamy and rocky off-white head and patchy lacing. Aroma is strong malt, a bit of wood with hints of alcohol.
Taste is clean caramel malt, some wooden feel, lots of presence of dried fruit, spicy yeast and pleasant alcohol warming that slowly increases its presence. Mouthfeel is about medium with lively and rather high carbonation.
Overall, very refreshing and drinkable Dark Ale, maybe lacks body, but flavours compensate for that. | 2019-04-20T20:10:35 | http://www.beerplanet.eu/index.php?cnt=6&UBID=1112031 |
We have over time acquired quite a few scores by composers of the "Repressed Russian Avante Garde" to borrow the title of Larry Sitsky's wonderful book. I'll post names of composers here that should ideally be addressed in this thread. Note I have modified the thread title from 'Scriabin & the Russian Avant Garde' because I think we should have a separate thread for Scriabin for purposes of "book keeping".
I'll edit this post with names of composers... I'll use Larry Sitsky's book as my main reference. Any other references and suggestions would be great too.

Wheeling trips, camping trips, meet-ups, a night out boozing, etc.
Ranch Creek is about an hour from my in-laws so it is much more doable than Moab. My wife and I could drop of the kids and spend the weekend wheelin'. Unfortunately work is in the way this year and I don't have much vacation saved up yet. Next year you can count me in though. I am jealous. Enjoy!
Thats my rig. I lifted 2" and had 35's added rock rails ( heavy SOB's but so worth it) beyond that the truck is stock. I have been to Rausch when the truck was stock would recommend rock rails at a min. Worth the investment.
Time to start thinking about food. You guys want to do what we have done the last 2 years with the seafood boil for Saturday dinner?
I think I'll probably be dropping off this trip. life is too busy and money is too shy to get some rock rails in time... hope you all enjoy the trails!

Aww, jeez. You were THIS CLOSE!
I did the first few years without rock rails. It can be done, if you are careful. But life has a way of getting in the way. Maybe next time!
I know - tell me about it! Finally got the truck (again) and tires, even had a cabin reserved... but this would be three weekend trips in a row and too much going on for me to maintain my sanity... have fun & be safe!

"The book was better." Whenever you go see a film adaptation of a beloved text, you could probably put money on the first thing people will say as they file out of the theater. They'll crumple their candy wrappers and slurp the last of their Mountain Dew and shake their heads at the audacity of the screenwriters. "Another piece of literature ruined!" And it's just another casualty of The Studio System. That big, money-grubbing cinema machine, which, unsatisfied with romantic comedy fodder, has seized a beautiful novel and squeezed. In this case, we've gathered here to mourn the untimely adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's All The Pretty Horses (Thornton, 2000). McCarthy’s plot is, for the most part, kept intact throughout the film. Instead, it is the film technique—like close up face shots, hokey music, and clichéd cinematography—that causes the film to become something trite and boring rather than mirroring the lyrical prose of McCarthy’s novel. The film grasps at the conventions of the Western employed by McCarthy, without managing to portray his subtle commentary on the inability of these conventions to apply to the modern American landscape.
Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses presents a changing world and a fading way of life, evoked through the character of John Grady Cole, a young boy trying to maintain the identity of a cowboy. Set in post-WWII Texas, the novel follows John Grady from the ranch he grew up on through the beautiful but threatening Mexican landscape. John Grady represents all the virtues of the traditional Western hero: he is honest, brave, steadfast, hard-working, taciturn, and unnaturally good with horses. However, John Grady’s particular brand of heroism no longer has a relevant role in the world in which he lives. The novel begins with the death of his grandfather, marking the loss of both a family member and a lifestyle. John Grady’s mother, more concerned with her acting career and new boyfriend, has no interest in maintaining the family ranch, while John Grady has no interest in doing anything else. The opening scenes of the novel evoke his deep sense of loss, beginning with John Grady standing over his grandfather’s corpse. McCarthy subtly sets the tone for the novel with this scene, repeatedly emphasizing the unfriendly nature of the world in which our hero must now live: the words “cold” and “dark” are used repeatedly. John Grady stands in the “cold hallway” looking into the “dark glass,” holding his hat “like some supplicant to the darkness,” while the phrase “dark and cold and no wind” is repeated twice. The repetition of these two adjectives creates the impression of a barren world where the only sound is the “ticking of the mantel clock,” marking the unstoppable passage of time (3).
John Grady and Rawlins are doing their best to be cowboys in a modern world, but McCarthy manages to convey how overwhelmingly out of place they are while they remain in America. The physical obstacles they face as they traverse the American landscape represent the intrusion of modern society on the traditional Western landscape. The triteness of much of their speech and the discomfort they sometimes express with their inability to fully live out their ideal of the cowboy lifestyle further emphasizes their inability to live in modern American society.
The movie version of All the Pretty Horses, however, falls far short of the bar set by the novel. Directed by Billy Bob Thornton and starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz as the starstruck lovers Alejandra and John Grady, the film attempts to tackle many things: create a plausible Western, create a plausible romance, and, overall, create a plausible and entertaining movie. It fails on almost all fronts, but not because of the poor quality of the storyline, which it retains fairly well. Rather, it is in the film-making methods used by Thornton where McCarthy’s themes are lost. For example, the film opens with grand, panoramic shots of the desert and close-ups of wild horses galloping across the land, while the two heroes lie under the night sky, talking about their belief in heaven. Though Billy Bob Thornton eventually gets around to the shot of John Grady’s dead grandfather, it is only after a few minutes of idyllic shots of the Texas landscape. The overwhelming sense of loss and loneliness that opens the novel is completely obliterated; John Grady comes in from the broad daylight to sit with his grandfather’s corpse, accompanied by their family servant. The audience begins the movie more impressed by the stark beauty of the landscape than by any sense of loss, presented with a movie in the tradition of the most overly-done Western film clichés, as opposed to one reflecting the spirit of McCarthy’s novel.
I think I’m going to move on.
This is still good country.
Yeah. I know it is. But it ain’t my country….
Where is your country? He said.
This statement reaffirms the impression given by the beginning of the book; America can no longer provide the lifestyle John Grady is searching for. He is a remnant of a past time, a boy trying to live out an ideal that possibly never existed. Again, McCarthy mirrors John Grady’s mood with his descriptions of the landscape. As the two boys sit in silence, “the dead moon hung in the west and the long flat shapes of the nightclouds passed before it like a phantom fleet” (298). This ghostly landscape supports the impression that, for John Grady, any potential this land had for him is dead. Death appears in the boys’ conversation as well. Lacey tells John Grady that his father has died and that his nurse, Abuela, is dying. The two boys part, and Lacey watches as John Grady “dropped slowly down the skyline” (300).
For a moment he held out his hands as if to steady himself or as if to bless the ground there or perhaps as if to slow the world that was rushing away and seemed to care nothing for the old or the young or rich or poor or dark or pale or he or she. Nothing for their struggles, nothing for their names. Nothing for the living or the dead.
John Grady has not only lost his grandfather, father, and nurse (who seems to be a more salient maternal figure than his real mother), but his ties to the world, which the passage of time is taking away. The image of the world “rushing away” from him emphasizes the impression that he is a remainder of an older time, out-of-place and alone. John Grady then sets off alone, riding off into the desert. The novel concludes as it began: with death and with John Grady riding out to discover a new land. The essential difference is that now John Grady rides unaccompanied, aware of how alone he is in the world. He cannot ride off into the sunset with his buddy anymore.
The end of the movie, on the other hand, completely ignores these themes of loss. The movie concludes with John Grady riding up to Lacey’s home with their horses. Lacey exclaims, “Damn, bud!” and laughs as he pets his returned horse. The boys stand against a background of a beautiful blue sky and some happy chickens, not in the stark, phantom landscape of McCarthy’s book. For all intents and purposes, the two boys appear to be happily reunited, an ending that, given the violence and suffering they have undergone, is the best one possible. There could not be a more complete subversion of the book’s message: the boys are fulfilling their cowboy roles, and appear at home on Lacey’s ranch. This impression, that John has “come home,” that he belongs, undermines the entire point of McCarthy’s work.
The film similarly misses the point behind the boys “playacting” at being cowboys, or using phrases heard in a John Wayne film or from someone’s grizzled old grandfather still remains in the film. However, the subtext that facet has in the novel is also completely gone. In the book, the hackneyed lines resonate as the boys imitating a life that is dying out; the reader understands that these are somewhat sympathetic and immature characters that are meant to be cheered on—though the search is futile, it is still noble in its intentions. However, in the movie the search simply seems pointless. The viewer doesn’t understand the “why” of the journey; instead, it seems like two boys wanting to ride horses and talk about things they know nothing about to try and seem brave. The flatness created by the lack of subtext translates like "a boy's adventure story that has mistaken itself for an epic, and it rattles around in its own ambitions like a child's head in a 10-gallon hat" (Times). Not only is the sense of loss not resonant in the movie, the whole point of the boys’ journey also seems to have been abandoned. However, some of the disconnect between the book and the movie are not entirely the fault of the screenplay and adaptation: there is a formula, of sorts, to the historical creation of the Western. It is important to understand the history of the Western as a film genre in order to understand, truly, how various traditional tactics used in creating All The Pretty Horses also contributed to the film’s inadequacies.
Within the medium of film, the Western genre is as loved by critics as it is by the average American filmgoer. Because the films were so successful during the early years of cinema, there have been numerous qualities and characteristics that appear in many of the same Westerns. The setting of a Western is both obvious and important. Without an environment that captures the barren, tough, vast beauty of the Western United States, there is no framework in which characters can interact. The characters within the genre regardless of film all have similar qualities that identify these individuals as belonging to the West: the lawless, the helpless, the courageous. Furthermore, the stories in which these characters are placed all follow a common framework of hero versus outlaw that have been perfected by various directors. These directors rose to fame through their respective films that were considered timeless and revolutionary in the world of movies. For example, John Ford had numerous Westerns that won both the hearts of many audiences and several Academy Awards. His films such as Stagecoach (1939), My Darling Clementine (1946), and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) complete the holy trinity of Westerns and are lauded as some of the best within the genre. Since many consider Ford to be one of the finest American directors, and the pinnacle of the Western genre, analyzing the similarities between his films will assist in discovering the conventions of this category of movies.
Ford’s Stagecoach is considered by many to be one of the finest Westerns ever made. The film had such a profound impact at home and even abroad, that André Bazín, the famed French film critic, cited Stagecoach as the premier of a Western film and the displayed the complexity of Ford’ style(Grant, 2003)). It is also true that John Ford held a special place in the hearts of many French New Wave directors because of his thematic and visual consistencies between his films. Stagecoach also marked an important distinction from the Westerns that had come before it. It took all the common characteristics from those films and placed them within stories carrying adult themes. The film is the starting point for the “Golden Age” of Western film genre, and has influenced almost all Westerns that come after. Even John Wayne, the staple of the typical Western, had his career launched because of Stagecoach. Another link found amongst Ford’s films and other Westerns are his settings. John Ford made use of the majestic Monument Valley where large cliffs and natural columns made of boulders rose into the air. This setting also found its way into both My Darling Clementine and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Davis, 1997).
My Darling Clementine is considered a favorite among film-enthusiasts but more importantly it supports a lot of the clichés of the genre. For instance, the first sequence even displays Monument Valley in all its glory then panning over to the dirty, weathered cowboy in his black hat. This cliché of the genre dictates the man with the dark attire is in fact the villain of the picture. An even more usual occurrence in the film is the story itself: a strong-willed, moral Wyatt Earpp runs into the town of Tombstone to find lawlessness. With no order, he assumes the role of sheriff. Of course this similar story can be found in other films including another famous release, High Noon (1952) in which Gary Cooper plays a sheriff returning to town in order to defeat a gang of outlaws.
The story of My Darling Clementine shares much with a later Ford Classic, the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Of course John Wayne stars but he is accompanied with another star, James Stewart. Ford still relies on the same setting of Monument Valley, a story telling the tale of a foreign hero, and even a shootout on the main road through town. There have been criticisms about Ford relying onto clichés of the Western film genre, but in fact many just don’t realize that Ford created the clichés himself (Davis, 1997). Because Ford was an auteur and his films so popular, his motifs were filtered through the minds of his audiences and contemporaries with rhythmic resonance. His visions embedded on celluloid have produced the crystal clear distinction of the Western film from to any other genre. Ford mythologized the West to his audiences, furthered its expansive allure, and solidified the grandeur of America and its people.
The conventions and clichés of a Western are recognized amongst most movie-goers. There are certain images and story traits that run through most of the films of the genre and indicate to the viewer that they are in fact watching an American Western. While John Ford was the creator of most of these common visual elements and motifs, he certainly was not the only director to utilize these constructions.
During the time period that the Western was popular, from the early 1900s to late-sixties, their was constant within most of the films: they were all set during a time period, “after the Civil War, to the turn of the Twentieth Century,” and in certain geographical area, “West of the Mississippi River and North of the Rio Grande.” Although there have been Westerns set in the more modern period thanks to adaptations of Cormac McCarthy novels, the genre largely stays within the confines of these temporal and spatial constraints.
Besides the specific time period and geographic location, there are numerous clichés found in the stories of many Westerns. Typically, it is hero versus villain or a situation where a band of outlaws have taken over the town. At this point, the protagonist would ride into the picture, which in and of itself is another typical Western cliché. The Western usually contains a central, strong, and masculine character that stars in the films as the protagonist. The lead cowboy—the John Wayne’s and the Clint Eastwood’s are characters that are larger than life and the audience immediately admires for their courage, brawn, and grit. These typical protagonists embody the ultimate man and are the paragon of masculinity. Each protagonist has a call to duty, and a strong moral standard that causes them to run into a lawless town and save the day as in My Darling Clementine, or return to their own town face past enemies (High Noon), or to avenge the deaths of family members as John Wayne’s character attempts in Stagecoach. The other characters in Westerns are typically static characters as well. The citizens of the oppressed towns are typically family-oriented and weak—unable to defend themselves from the antagonists.
When the protagonist and antagonist finally meet in battle, the town is usually the arena in which the two opposing sides wage battle. The duel occurring in the middle of town is a staple within the genre that creates suspense for the viewer and for the inhabitants of the township. The folk usually flee from the streets to the safety of their homes. Peeking out from doorways and windows, they all try to catch a glimpse of the mayhem.
These Westerns created a lasting impression in the collective consciousness of America, employing iconic imagery and conventions that leant themselves easily to parody. “Parody in film can be defined as comic, exaggerated imitation of a given genre, auteur, or specific film” (Cook 284). This play-on-genre type of film started as early as 1916 with the Western spoof His Bitter Pill (Mack Sennett, 1916), which playfully features a cross-eyed, cowboy hero. In the sixties movies such as Thunderball (Terrence Young, 1965) and Cat Ballou (Elliot Silverstein, 1965) can be credited with keeping the Western spoof alive. However, parody, as a lucrative enterprise, did not become mainstream until Mel Brooks’ 1974 films Blazing Saddles. Blazing Saddles is a parody of the classic Western and tells the story of how a black sheriff saves the western town of Rock Ridge from ruination. It's a perfect example of parody because of its “comic, exaggerated imitation” of the Western genre (Cook 284).
The first thing to understand when analyzing Brooks’ treatment of the “classic Western” is how the Western genre is formulated. Film scholar Douglas Pye pinpoints the necessities of a typical Western plot: you need a hero, a small community, a conflict, weaponry, and interaction with nature (Pye 198). It is all these elements, in one way or another, working together that constitutes a formulaic Western film.
Brooks first parodies the Western hero by making him African American. This is ironic both because there aren’t many black people in traditional Westerns and because the societies depicted in Westerns are typically uneducated and racist (if only latently so). By making the hero, Sheriff Bart, black, Brooks makes the audience question why this is such a ludicrous idea. Brooks also makes a mockery of Western society. When trying to inspire courage in the people of Rockridge, Bart tells them to think of “Randolph Scott” and the townsfolk burst into four-part harmony, singing his name. Randolph Scott was the quintessential Western hero in 1930’s-1960’s cinema (“Randolph”). The joke here is how blindly loyal townspeople in Westerns are to the hero. The conflict in the story is the common Bandits vs. Townsfolk plot, but Brooks parodies the typical band of western criminals by adding Nazis, fighter pilots, bikers, Saudis, and KKK members. The weapons used are also unconventional. Sheriff Bart beats the violent Mongo with a small explosive disguised as a box of candy—ala Bugs Bunny. Also, Brooks makes fun of the “fastest gun in the West” with his character Jim, a washed up gunfighter who shoots so quickly he does not appear to move at all. The last aspect of Pye’s typical Western that Brooks parodies is the role of nature in the film. A prime example of Brooks modifying nature is when Bart and Jim set up a freestanding tollbooth in the middle of the desert to slow their enemies down. Obviously the bandits could just go around the booth, but Brooks is pointing out how malleable Westerns make nature when it comes to the Hero’s schemes. Essentially, Mel Brooks twists just about every element of the classic Western to make his parody of the genre complete.
Blazing Saddles was popular (and funny) twenty-six years before Billy Bob Thornton directed All The Pretty Horses (2000) and yet Thornton plays into every cliche identified by Pye and mocked by Brooks. The hero is not only a white American, but he shows a marked ignorance of the society in which he finds himself. I think this is most apparent in John Grady's conversation with the Mexican characters; he cannot even pronounce the name of his beloved, "Alejandra," properly (*VIDEO*). The villains in the film are the Mexican officials and the man who takes Blevins' horse. While, in the book, there's some ambiguity as to who's at fault and who's right, the film expects the audience to align with John Grady. As far as weapons go, the movie is heavy with guns and knife fights.
Much of this could be traced back to the novel, but the interpretation of the book is unmistakable in the film's score and cinematography.
The movie makes use of these Western conventions, often in the most trite way possible. A common way to make something “Western” is through the use of soundtracks. Various samplings of country, twangy music are used in order to create the feel of an “authentic” setting. These tactics are mostly used in film at transition points between scenes or during an important moment, to make the audience feel a certain way. This music is used to mold the viewer’s opinions of various things in the film; unfortunately, in All the Pretty Horses the music only makes the viewer amused. The music is so clichéd, and so overused, that it almost becomes distracting. The New York Times review stated that the music was "a tasteful blend of mariachi, norteno and western swing (among other things), [and] covers the movie like wall-to-wall carpeting. Once or twice, it would be good to contemplate the vastness of the desert landscape in silence" (Times). Thornton would have done better to have left the music alone completely and to let the shots of the Western landscape speak for themselves; sometimes silence is golden. In fact, it could be argued that no soundtrack would better mirror the feel of the book and the silence of protagonist John Grady. Contrived music does not add another facet here—if anything, it is a huge detractor.
Another huge directorial flop in the construction of the film was the structure of the shots. There are large, big-blue-sky-of-Texas shots, showing the small size of the riders in comparison to the gigantic size of—in ascending order, of course—Texas, America’s West, the world, etc. It is not a bad way to get the point across. It is a good visual correlation of John Grady’s ponderings on the “wildness” of where he is and “the wildness within.” However, this effect is taken too far with close-up screen shots of characters faces. Perhaps intending to imply that these characters are having deep and meaningful thoughts, Thornton just makes things awkward. The close-ups last too long and continue one after another. In some of the more dramatic scenes of the movie they almost have a voyeuristic quality, making the viewer feel like and intruder that has stared a moment too long. This, combined with the "picturesque landscapes and grandiose gestures utterly lacking in narrative momentum or emotional resonance," create a film that seems to exist purely in the visual, evoking little emotion and creating little depth (Times). | 2019-04-22T11:58:42 | http://essaydocs.org/the-book-was-better.html |

One of the things that both chairs and executives tell me with pride is how their leadership team functions so well together. Interestingly, most of these teams have been together for five or more years.
Stability can be a good thing. A harmonious group is more likely to co-operate with each other and make faster decisions. Not only that collective decision making is more superior than individual decision-making which is prone to bias. The more diverse the skill sets, perspectives and information considered, the more robust the evaluation and judgement of decisions.
When a successful group has been working together for some time, they develop an in-group bias that makes it difficult to build trust and cooperate with different groups. Groups that feel threatened tend to close ranks and become more internally cohesive and exclude outsiders. While that tends to not be an issue for boards who don’t need to be relied upon to get work done (unless it’s a not for profit). It can be an issue for leadership and management teams.
But the most damaging side-effect is where group members become so comfortable with each other that groupthink kicks in. What I see when I work with leadership teams is while there might be camaraderie and politeness, when you push team members with tough questions about what’s really going on in the group, they almost visibly go pale.
That’s because groups become unaware of the subtle pressures to be unanimous in decisions. Groupthink is when decision making suffers as a cohesive group becomes insulated from dissenting viewpoints. Especially, when the group leader promotes a particular solution or course of action.
“I assembled this team because I’m a strong believer in strong personalities and strong opinions. I think that’s how the best decisions are made. One of the dangers in a White House, based on my reading of history is that you get wrapped up in groupthink. Everybody agrees with everything and there’s no discussion and no dissenting views. So I will be welcoming vigorous debate inside the White House”.
Why was Barack Obama concerned about groupthink?
In the book, Crucial Decisions by Irving Janis, he discussed that work groups tend to do what they can in the interests of group harmony. This means any dissenting views are not raised, for fear of damaging group happiness.
Janis found that numerous examples of poor decision-making in the White House led to unnecessary wars and loss of life, due to the consequences of groupthink. This was what concerned Obama (and rightly so).
Overestimating the abilities of the group – An illusion of invulnerability such as excessive optimism and unquestioning belief in the group member’s abilities. It can lead to blindness to risks.
Close-minded – A tendency to justify past decisions and to stereotype opponents.
Uniformity – Strong pressure to conform to the group’s decisions. Anyone who criticises a viewpoint is rebuffed usually with sarcasm. Group members self-censor for fear of ridicule. It creates an illusion that everyone is on the same page.
The best method to avoid groupthink is to challenge any idea – good or bad. Open, cohesive leadership enables good decision-making.
Take Casper, a $200 million rapidly growing online mattress company that has upended the mattress industry in only three years. Their leadership team consists of distinct personalities and talents where leaders have heated debates about where to take the company. These aren’t provocative confrontations, but emotional exchanges where leaders are comfortable with each other and don’t filter how they feel.
Casper’s leadership team performs at a high level because they trust and defer to each others’ subject matter expertise. Freely challenging each other is expected and even a prerequisite of the team.
Consider subdividing the group occasionally to allow any grievances to be discussed.
Assign a “devil’s advocate” or allow a general dissenter to come into the group and openly express their views.
Welcome debate. Rigorously debate ideas in the group. Give each member homework that encourages them to both research and defend two opposing viewpoints. Then, ask them to make a decision on which is the preferred option and why.
Request the lowest ranking in the room to speak first. Then, the next level and so on. This means that employees never have to contradict their boss. This is a great management technique to get a wide range of opinions and to flush out any issues at a lower level, that often get ignored (used commonly in Japan).
Engender a culture of respect. Sometimes freely expressing viewpoints is misconstrued as being allowed to be divisive and disrespectful. Discussions need to be linked to company values with strong guidelines on what comments are acceptable and not acceptable.
It’s common for leaders to mistakenly believe that politeness and ‘getting along’ is a strength of their management team. But cordiality often hides passive-aggressive behaviours that avoid the tough conversations and constructive conflict. Over time, innovation drops off, speed to market and business paces slows down reflecting the issues in the senior team that aren’t being addressed. In these circumstances, you’ll often find leaders retreating to the safety of their own function or business units to do the real work.
For example, during a recent leadership team workshop I facilitated, the CEO was able to share her concerns with the team about speed decreasing and leaders not working together. Executives were clearly shocked and discussed why the CEO was incorrect. The good news was they were debating (and being aware of a new viewpoint). But the bad news was they were in serious denial about how their camaraderie was masking a lot of hidden issues that were frustrating a lot of them. Getting leaders to clearly look at their blind spots is important work. But it takes time. For some it can take ninety days or more for workshops and coaching to kick in and get results.
What are you doing to get your executive team look into their blind spots and overcome challenging behaviours? What are you doing to help your executive team grow?
Does everyone agree with the most powerful person in the room? Are people willing to challenge the leader?
Do your executives stay current with the latest leadership techniques and quote key customers or business leaders?
Are your business results competitive? Are you tracking to a clear growth plan?
These questions air out what’s really going on and help the team look at some of their behaviours that might be creating issues. It also helps clarify whether executive coaching is required to improve performance.
How do you challenge your team, so that you avoid groupthink and being too comfortable with each other?
Excellent angle to look into leadership as a whole. I enjoyed the essence to the fullest.
It depends on the team whether it prefers serenity, happiness in lives instead of running about, craving for money and dominance all the time ! | 2019-04-24T23:55:00 | http://www.trustologie.com.au/2017/09/17/3-reasons-why-stable-happy-leadership-teams-underperform/ |

Video > Can an actor portray negative and attract positive?
A montage of questions from some participants in one of our Abraham-Hicks Law of Attraction workshops - directed to Abraham, the non-physical intelligence who speaks through Esther Hicks.
Video > The Human Condition - This Is Not A Drill!
Abraham, speaking through Esther Hicks, gives their perspective regarding the nature of God. Abraham is a non-physical intelligence who refer to themselves in the plural and communicate blocks of thought to Esther, which she then translates into words through a process which some have called channeling - although Esther and her husband Jerry do not use this word.
"In my early 20's I had an ecstatic dream in which a "spirit guide" showed me the "Law of Attraction." Years later I asked for more clarity on the Law and in a matter of days I was introduced to the teaching of Abraham as channeled by Esther Hicks."

International Week at the University of Montana was a success! Campus and community members were able to attend up to 14 events associated with International Week, which gave plenty of opportunity for our students, staff, faculty, and community members to engage in international and cultural education.
Campus and community members celebrated the start of International Week at a kickoff reception held in partnership with The Branch Center in the UC. That night, Mayor John Engen proclaimed the week of April 3-7, 2017 to be International Week in the City of Missoula. Read the official proclamation.
Participants had several opportunities to learn about and engage in cultural education and appreciation through the rest of the week. MFA student, poet, and filmmaker Saif Alsaegh screened his latest work, "Alazeef," in the UC Theater and explained how his childhood experiences in Baghdad have shaped his artistic expression. On Thursday, April 6, over 20 student, departmental, and community organizations participated in the International Fair tabling event to share their work with people passing through the University Center.
International Week wrapped up at the International Banquet Dinner on Friday, April 7. This dinner served as a fundraiser for the Missoula International Friendship Program, which has provided community mentors and friends to UM international students for decades. The dinner sold out, and the 130 attendees were treated to a Middle Eastern dinner, cultural performances, the chance to win international goods from a silent auction, and the chance to interact with international community members and students.
International Week started with a kickoff reception in The Branch Center. Speakers at the event, who shared the week's activities and the importance of cultural appreciation and education, included Effie Koehn, Interim Director of the Global Engagement Office; Udo Fluck, Special Projects Manager for International Education; and Nathan Lindsay, Associate Provost for Dynamic Learning.
The Global Engagement Office hosted a screening of "Alazeef," an experimental short film by brothers Saif and Fady Alsaegh. Saif is an MFA student at the University of Montana and a poet. He shared the creative process of writing, filming, and producing the film via telecommunication with his brother, who lives in Turkey. The film delves into the mind of an unknown Iraqi soldier in the days leading up to Operation Desert Storm and focuses on humanizing "the other." Here, Saif is shown with the poster advertising his film at the Cinéma du Réel international film festival in Paris.
Culturally-focused student and community organizations shared their missions, upcoming events, and some tasty treats with people passing through the UC at the International Fair tabling event on Thursday, April 6.

It’s coming and let’s face it, whilst we’ve been warned since 2016, very few started thinking about it more than 6 months ago if not later…There are a lot of resources out there trying to translate what GDPR means and how it will impact businesses’ organisation and data management but very few manage to give clear and practical guidance. This post is an attempt to provide concrete answers about the user consent mechanism and its impact on web analytics. Of course, the usual caveat: “I’m not a lawyer and you should seek legal advice to assess your own situation and blablabla”….But even if you seek legal advice, you may end up knowing more about the GDPR than your legal adviser, especially here in NZ!
Step 1: Do You Need To Comply With GDPR?
1- Do you actively target EU-residents?
2- Do you collect personal data, including pseudonymous data?
1. Do you actively target EU-residents?
There has been a misconception that if you don’t process or collect data inside EU, you are not affected by GDPR. This is partially true (or wrong, depending on your mood…). GDPR applies to any sites that collect data about data subjects that are physically in the Union, regardless of the data controllers, (i.e. the site) and/or processors’ locations. Given that you can’t really control who is visiting your site, any sites are actually virtually impacted by GDPR. However the Regulation will look at how actively the site is targeting EU-residents to determine if it falls under the GDPR.
So for instance, if you are offering payments in Euros and/or specific shipping rates to European countries (including UK), you explicitly target your offer to EU-residents. Therefore you must abide by the GDPR. Similarly, if you have advertising campaigns specifically targeting a member State of the Union.
The same applies if the site doesn’t sell anything but still monitors users’ behaviour (see recital 24).
2. Do you collect personal data, including pseudonomised?
This means that IP addresses and Client IDs (created by the _ga Google Analytics cookie) are considered as personal data by extension, even if you don’t have direct access to these data as they are not surfacing in GA reports.
One way to address this is to mask IP addresses using the IP Anonymization feature. This would make the identification of a specific subject much harder. Note that you will need to either remove or adjust your current IP-based filters in GA accordingly.
Then for users who do not consent to get their data collected for Analytics purpose, you can still track their session by setting the _ga cookie to expire at the end of the session (or even no cookie at all), which makes their identification impossible (the Client ID becomes truly anonymysed), unless they provide personal pseudonmysed data, like a User ID, but in this case you will need to ask for their consent for Personalisation purpose anyway. And remember that GA doesn’t allow you to collect any actual personal data (e.g. name, email, phone number, address, etc.).
By now, you should have a better idea on whether or not you need to comply with the GDPR.
If so, you will have to get the consent from users.
Piwik Pro and Tealium both offer built-in consent management solutions but they fail to fully address these points.
Tealium proposes a highly customisable consent manager, but not sure if you can customise each tag’s settings according to the consent. It looks like the analytics tags would be all disabled if the consent for Analytics is not given, which would be unnecessary if you can configure them so they only collect anonymised data. And this doesn’t really address the inter-dependency issue (not that there is any between the purposes shown in the example above).
As a side note, I would recommend to ask for consent for the Social Media purpose only when users first click to share on social media, and provide an option to save their selection (so create a specific cookie for social sharing consent).
I like the “Agree to all” button but not sure how it addresses dependencies between data processing purposes. And I imagine the saving option should not be available if at least the Analytics purpose is not enabled since by definition you are not allowed to store any data if no consent is given.
Adobe Dynamic Tag Management (soon to be revamped to “Launch”) doesn’t provide a ready-to-use consent management solution but you can add extensions such as TrustArc’s or Evidon’s (not free though).
As for Google Tag Manager, there is no built-in consent manager either but you could easily inject some custom HTML tag as described in this post from AnalyticsMania.
Google has also updated its information portal for publishers and advertisers, suggesting different solutions to add a consent function to your site.
The best article I’ve read so far about this is the excellent post by Jente De Ridder from Humix, who proposes a practical solution to make GA GDPR compliant via GTM. It’s logical and well written and probably answers most of web analysts questions.
The diagram I propose below is largely inspired by Jente’s solution, with a few additional notes on the granular consent mechanism.
For instance, one requirement from GDPR is to “be able to demonstrate that the data subject has given consent to the processing operation” (recital 42). Therefore you can send an event to GA to pass the consent level. This event will then be very useful to identify “new users” from consent level 0 (by definition all users with consnent level 0 are new users) from other “”usual” new users.
I hope this can help visualising the challenge and visualising one solution more easily, if nothing else.
I believe we will certainly see a decrease in the audiences size of the (remarketing) advertising campaigns but with good wording, we can end up with a win-win situation: the user understands why we collect data and why it may be beneficial for him/her while the brand shows its care for data privacy respect and may improve advertising campaigns with a better qualified audience and smarter incentives. | 2019-04-18T22:16:17 | http://www.firstdigital.co.nz/blog/category/digital-strategy/ |
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Turkish court has ruled to release from prison Taner Kilic, the local chair of Amnesty International, a senior Amnesty researcher said on Wednesday, in one of several cases that have raised concern over Ankara's human rights record.
Kilic had been jailed for a year on charges of supporting the U.S. based cleric whom Ankara blames for a July 2016 failed coup. Andrew Gardner of Amnesty told Reuters Kilic was not yet released from prison. | 2019-04-24T00:02:08 | https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/reuters/turkish-court-rules-to-release-local-amnesty-international-chair---amnesty/44325178 |
