The media’s obsession with the white populist narrative serves two purposes: telling women who supported Hillary they don’t matter and exonerating itself from being culpable in her loss.
Last Friday, Hillary Clinton delivered the commencement speech at her alma mater, Wellesley, to a rapt audience of young women, just as Rebecca Traister’s New York magazine cover story went live online, vaulting the former presidential candidate back into the news. And with Clinton’s interview at Recode’s Code2017 yesterday where she addressed the myriad reasons for her loss, so came the return of trolls and the tiresome exegesis that demands a single “truth”: that Clinton lost because she and her campaign failed to connect with the white working class. Misogyny, James Comey, the Russians be damned.
In her speech, just as in Traister’s profile, Hillary reveals a rare combination of calmness and rage. Now that she sort of can. But Hillary tells Traister that she is angry, of course, but that “as a woman in public life, you can’t be angry for yourself. You just can’t. You can be indignant, you can be annoyed, you can be frustrated, but you can’t be angry … I don’t think anger’s a strategy.” What it is, is a white man’s privilege. Recall that people fantasized about the anger of the notoriously calm Obama, too (Key and Peele’s “Angry Obama” sketch was a particularly brilliant fantasy). But Hillary’s voters, like Obama’s, are angry—and remain so. Injustice tends to make many of us furious. Still, we can’t express ours, either. When we do, we still, even now, get shut down by trolls online, fight with neighbors and friends and family, are sometimes even harassed by strangers. During the election, some of us were actually defending ourselves not only from trolls but Russian bots.
But the fact remains that the 3 million more people who voted for her over Trump and woke up aghast on November 9, immediately understood it was myriad slights, small and large, perpetrated by the (mostly) white male journo/political power base in the U.S. that had led to her defeat. We well understood the internecine the reasons she lost.
Yet the millions of women, black and white, who supported Hillary, gave her money, endorsed her enthusiastically for years, have—aside from the media coverage of the Women’s March—not been heard from since November 9. They weren’t fooled by Trump’s fascism disguised as “populism.” They recognize misogyny when they see it, having lived with it all their lives. Who talks to them? Who listens?
The innumerable reasons why people voted for Trump and whether they regret it as he takes away their health-care options and reduces essential services for the poor, elderly and disenfranchised, have been dissected ad nauseam in such respected news sites as The Washington Post, NPR, the BBC, and Salon. The New York Times has made a cottage industry out of trying to “understand” Trump voters, so much so that they were lambasted all over social media when they ran a column asking people to say something nice about Trump. But no one has asked the American people to say something “nice” about Hillary or follow up with her loyal and enthusiastic voters who are still reeling. Traister did: She writes that women cry when they see Hillary, the disappointment spilling out of them unbidden. I know how they feel—I share their grief.
So does L, a 54-year-old housekeeper who works six days a week, often cleaning two, sometimes three houses a day, for dozens of years. Her husband is permanently disabled from a work accident. For a while her oldest son who suffers from PTSD and other mental health issues and is a veteran, also lived with them in their trailer out in the woods. Three years ago, L had a terrible automobile accident after she fell asleep at the wheel at 6 a.m., traveling an hour to her first house. She had no insurance and was unable to work for months. Her recuperation was painful. Clients kept her afloat by paying her for cleaning she could not and would never do. When the ACA was put into place I helped her get health insurance for the first time in her life. L is the working poor. But she wasn’t tempted by Trump’s false promises. She was repelled by his racism and sexism. When she talks about Hillary’s loss it is still with incredulity.
K shares that sense of incredulity, as she juggles her business as an esthetician, with caring for her troubled daughter who’s in her 20s, and her mother who suffers from dementia and who, after living with her for seven years has just been put in a Medicaid-supported home. K is burning out. The disaster of Hurricane Matthew took all her financial resources. She has been living on the edge for years. But she remains outraged by Comey and the fact that Hillary’s “emails” swayed the vote to hand an election to a man who clearly doesn’t care about people like her and her family.
G lost her husband of more than 50 years a little less than two years ago, at 74. She discovered he had left her with almost nothing. She had to give up her apartment and move in for a year with her son and his girlfriend and his two children. Now G lives alone in a small two-bedroom apartment, dependent on financial help from family, and trying to get by mostly on Social Security: $1,500 a month. Her health is precarious and she cannot afford a hike in her supplemental insurance premiums. She remains furious at the raw deal Hillary got and the changes to our country that scare her to death.
In pretending that that upper-middle-class second-wave feminists were the only ones enthusiastic about Hillary, the media ignored the stories of these women, as well as 79-year-old B, who a year ago, after renting for decades, moved from Savannah to North Carolina and bought a house in a tiny mountain town in an amazing deal that demanded no money down and payments less than her rental. She, too, lives on her $1,500 a month Social Security and a tiny pension, and supplements her income by pet sitting, sewing, and various other jobs she can perform at home. A self-described country girl, she is blissful in her new location. But she remains astonished that Hillary is not our president.
It’s the last thing anyone should tell any woman.
Meanwhile, the expectations put upon Hillary Clinton were enormous—the media expected her to be warm but strong, smart but not wonky, attractive but not preening. They wanted a queen, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a teacher, a friend and a superhero. Her voters, on the other hand, landed their support where it mattered: she was the most experienced person who had ever run for office.
Hillbilly Elegy, a white man’s account of his rise from poverty to success, and an explication of why others didn’t make it out of such poverty and ignorance, was everywhere this past year. But where is the elegy for women, many of who are poor and not particularly well-educated or sophisticated, but who got behind Hillary’s candidacy with a fierce pride and a huge hope? We were force-fed the narrative that economic insecurity was the driving force behind Trump momentum, but a recent article in The Atlantic cited cultural anxiety, rather than economic anxiety.
We knew this all along. And a lot of this anxiety comes from men (and even some women) who are terrified of a woman holding the highest office in the country. More than 60 years after the feminist movement became mainstream, men on the right and the left are still intimidated by powerful women.
Why aren’t women—and men—being asked about that anxiety? Why are Hillary voters being drowned out by a chorus of shut-ups, sit-downs, wait-your-turns, even from the Democrats? When is our turn? Hillary reached, indeed mesmerized millions of voters, especially women, who heard her message, a message that resonated with them. She may have been more intellectually sophisticated than some of the women I know, but that was cause for admiration, not spite. Hillary voters weren’t looking for a friend or a peer, but for an experienced leader who could get things done, and who could speak for them. They knew who cared for them. And Trump’s agenda since taking office has proved Hillary right on everything (not least of all his being Putin’s puppet).
Loyal Trump supporters, some of who are just starting to understand how badly they’re about to be betrayed by the president with his policies on health care, the environment, and education, are interviewed regularly. But white, brown, and black voters, who understood full well the ramifications of a Trump presidency, are rarely if ever revisited.
I’m a rare sort: a Jewish woman raised in a small Appalachian town by second-generation Jewish-American parents who moved to the South to work. The people I grew up with seem to split pretty much down the political middle. Some old classmates stunned me with their staunch Republicanism, while others, black and white, some of whom grew up lower middle class, were vocal, ardent and yes, enthusiastic supporters of Hillary. They still are. They are the kind of people who have never once shown up on the news.
I know a working firewoman who voted for Hillary, and a massage therapist who works out of her home and recently had to travel to find a surgeon who would take her insurance policy and repair her knee so she could continue working. I know a man who has been a Republican for more than 50 years who voted for Hillary. I also know two Republican sisters, who brought themselves up from Kentucky poverty but who could not bring themselves to vote for Trump. One has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The ACA changes worry them both.
There are hundreds, thousands, of others out there who would, easily, happily, tell you that their vote counted, was important, would be made the same way again. Many of these women suffer the kind of “economic anxiety” the media thinks is responsible for Trump’s victory but don’t assign blame to immigrants or people of color, because their families are immigrants and many are African-Americans. But economic anxiety doesn’t necessarily lead to vitriol and aggression, to assault and hate crimes, which have spiked considerably since Trump was elected.
And those who assert that misogyny held no sway, that Clinton’s candidacy was a requiem for a failed feminism haven’t been paying attention. Women are angry, determined, involved, ready to fight for the rights they won 50 years ago that are perilously close to being taken away by the current administration. The young women are realizing how quickly the hard-fought advantages they enjoy can be lost. They are sympathetic to the ceaseless trashing of the woman they hoped would be president. Their support has not waned.
At a recent hair appointment, my stylist N and I talked sotto voce about politics. She said, “I am surrounded by Trump supporters.” At one point, I mentioned that I thought Obama must feel bad about seeing his legacies destroyed by Trump. N leaned in and whispered in my ear: “Yes, but the person I feel saddest for is Hillary.” I couldn’t, of course, disagree.

Doormen—and increasingly, doorwomen–are arguably the most iconic personalities in New York City real estate, often playing a role that's midway between building security and therapist. They see us at our best and worst (and most shopping-addicted and takeout-dependent), as we venture out on our first dates and first days of school and work (and, too, the last), and are the first people we see when we get home and begin to finally shed the armor we don everyday to do battle out there in this big, brash city.
Columnist Gabriel Falcon, who's been chronicling his meetups with doormen on Facebook, introduces us to the men and women who are the gatekeepers of many of the city's rental buildings and co-ops.
Gabriel Falcon began his career as a dancing taco bell on The Dana Carvey Show. He has been a staff writer and producer for Anderson Cooper, Piers Morgan and The Today Show. He is currently an executive producer for Al Jazeera. A native New Yorker, he and his family reside in Morningside Heights. | 2019-04-25T18:34:52 | http://mail.brickunderground.com/blog/a_morningside_heights_doorman_says_goodbye_to_his_tenants_after_decades |

How should I clean my chain?
Q. I keep getting conflicting information about bike maintenance. I've been told by one dealer that I shouldn't clean my chain, just spray fresh lube over the old muck, but another said I should clean it with a solvent before applying new lube each week, which is correct?
A. There are two types of chain used on bikes. Off-roaders and commuter bikes up to 125cc use chains made of metal only, other road bikes use O-ring chains. O-ring chains have small rubber seals between the rollers and the sideplates to slow down wear.
O-ring chains should be washed with a light oil or degreaser and then wiped down before lubricating. Avoid paraffin and petrol as they are too thin and will get past the seals.
If the lube you are using dries to a film, make sure you apply it at least 12 hours before you ride if you want to keep your wheels clean.
Simple chains on off-roaders can be power washed after use and then sprayed with a water dispersal agent like WD40 to stop it rusting between rides. Lubricate it with a light oil before you next ride. A light oil won't stick and turn itself into grinding paste as soon as it picks up some dirt.
If you plan on riding through sand the chain should be dry or it will grind itself away in minutes. | 2019-04-23T22:59:42 | https://www.motorcyclenews.com/new-rider/choosing-kit/2012/january/jan0312-how-should-i-clean-my-chain-/ |

Communities are designed to improve the competitiveness of a defined sector by catalyzing innovation and aligning impact with investment.
While sound macroeconomic factors affect the potential for competitiveness, we believe wealth is actually created at the microeconomic level. This microeconomic competitiveness is determined by the productivity with which a location uses its existing human, capital, and natural endowments to create value. Improving productivity ultimately depends on improving the microeconomic capability of the economy. Communities are designed for this, to help specific sectors within a defined region compete more effectively.
Communities are systems for collaboration, intentionally designed to improve the competitiveness of a given sector through economic and social upgrading.
Communities help us understand the existing state of competitiveness.
Communities help us define what success means in terms of both social impact and economic viability.
Communities provide infrastructure to test and iterate upon new market solutions.
Through their infrastructure, communities act as a conduit for scaling solutions that work.
The dynamics of ‘progress’ are changing faster than ever. As the 2nd ICT Revolution continues to change how we create value, it s critical to employ systems that evolve to the changing nature of ‘competitiveness’. Communities offer a robust foundation to build this system upon.
Complex problems require implicit knowledge, which cannot be codified.
Sharing of knowledge and best practices within communities makes implicit knowledge more visible.
Collaboration around distributed work is becoming the norm.
Communities provide a platform for distributed action to create collective value.
Learning is part of work, not separate from it.
Communities of practice enable the integration of work and learning.
Ideas are decentralized by their very nature.
New ideas come from diverse networks, often from outside any defined organization.
'Progress' is both a local and global phenomenon.
While any single solution always starts local, the nature of technology enables scalability at quasi-zero marginal costs, resulting in potentially global implications.
Co-created knowledge through social learning is the foundation for progress.
The value of communities lies in the depth of participants’ reflection and inquiry, and how they put co-created knowledge to action in their local community.
Shared context is the foundation for a knowledge sharing environment.
Communities connect people who share stories and personal experiences in a way that builds understanding and insight.
Collaboration and the free-flow of ideas is critical to enabling innovation.
Communities introduce collaborative processes to groups and organizations to encourage the free flow of ideas and exchange of information. | 2019-04-19T06:59:49 | https://sea.africa/our-communities/ |

In the film “The Truman Show” the director, Peter Weir, is a film about a citizen from seahaven “Truman Burbank’s the main protagonist of the movie who’s freedom got held back from him. Throughout the film the executive producer Christof (Ed Harris) orchestrates “The Truman Show” a live broadcast of Truman’s every move captured with hidden cameras around seahaven.Throughout the film, Peter Weir uses variety of techniques to emphasize different scenes in the movie, by doing this he creates certain themes and ideas to the audience to show tension and to create a calm or dense atmosphere. One scene in the movie “Thar She Blows” is a great example of the techniques Peter Weir has used, where Truman tries to conquer his fear of the water and escape from seahaven as he take off on a yacht on to the vast sea which he only comes to find out that his whole life had only taken place in a large dome as he hits the edge of his virtual world (The Dome).
Peter Weir uses various amount of film techniques including soundtrack/music, this technique helps develop the scene as it lets the audience know about the situation and the pace it’s going at, for example from the beginning of the scene “thar she blows” the director chooses to play a calm and soothing music as Truman heads out into the sea with a high angle shot of him on the boat and heading out into the sea this resembles his freedom from seahaven. The viewer gets a better understanding of the theme/idea of the scene, because the music emphasizes the journey that Truman is about to go through as its starts out with a calm atmosphere and slowly increases in tempo as the conditions in the storm get worse, as Christof puts Truman through the resilient conditions when in the storm, as he escapes from seahaven which for him was a jail that held him back from the real world aspects. Using the technique soundtrack/music Peter Weir develops a certain feeling of the scene “thar she blows” as it adds pace to the scene and to give the scene extra effects the director switches through multiple scenes (Montage), as he switches through multiple scenes continuously it goes along with the music/soundtrack this gives us an idea of the scenes pace and what truman is going through in the in sea, in and out of the storm in a various amount of camera angles, because of the music, a thrilling and intense mood is present in the scene, we can also tell this by the reaction of the people watching ” The Truman Show” (in the movie) as the music/soundtrack continues playing, as it changes in pace whilst switching through multiple shots.
During the scene “Thar She Blows” dialogue was one of the key techniques that helped me understand certain scenes, dialogue tells the audience how a certain character feels or their opinion towards a certain person or a group. In this case when Christof tries to kill Truman when he was in the sea trying to escape seahaven, one of Christof’s vise helpers told Cristof “We can’t let him die in front of a live audience” and in reply Christof in no emotion or sympathy quotes “He was born in front of live audience” this tells us that Christof does not care about Truman no matter the result, this shows us how determined he is about the story and how the show started and finishes, this also exhibits the inner truth about Christof as makes sure he gets his thoughts across to everyone in the moon studio, it also tells the audience that he has no mercy for Truman, we can see that Christof also doesn’t like to be taunted at when Truman yells out from the boat ” is that the best you got”, with truman saying this we can tell that he was well aware of what was happening to him and that everything in his life from birth was all controlled and nothing in the world he had lived in was part of the real world, his expression while saying “is that the best you got” clearly showed Truman had not had enough of Christof and what he’s got for him. This caused Christof to increase the wind speed and the size of the waves to make sure Truman gets his full wrath and what he is capable of doing, this also explains how he has treated Truman throughout the movie this goes to how when Christof manipulated Truman about his dad being dead. We can clearly tell that Christof does not want Truman to know about the truth and that he does not live in a real world but within a virtual world, as Truman hoists himself up toward the sail, Christof commands the control manager in anger “give me some lightning” this is to put fear into Truman that he has no fear of hurting him and that he will try stopping him no matter what he has to do, this also stimulates the audience of the danger that Truman is out through, for example when the camera cuts to the man in the bathroom we can see his agitated facial expression as he clings onto the shower curtains yelling “you can do, hold onnn” this is the same expression that Peter Weir whats us audience to feel with a nervous aphosphere and to shock the audience with the dialogue from this scene. He is showing us that even we, the movie watchers sometimes forget how morally wrong the situation in the movie is. | 2019-04-21T11:03:29 | https://prestonhockeyclub.com/in-the-film-the-truman-show-the-director/ |

It is with complete sincerity that I assert that PETCO Park is the most underrated ballpark in the country. On a trip to visit all the parks in California, this was not a place I was particularly excited about; the Padres were in town and it was a way to tick the park off the list. Now that I’ve been there, I can’t wait to go back.
PETCO is the most laid-back downtown ballpark you will ever visit. You can walk there or take public transportation; it’s a stone’s throw from the ocean, but backed up by a rich entertainment district that’s an actual part of the city, and there are quite literally seats for every budget and every ballgame agenda. It will remind you of parts of other ballparks, but yet, it’s not like any other ballpark out there.
The exterior will throw you off at first, made of local sandstone, it looks more like an upscale mall or an office complex than a ballpark. There are interior passages that will remind you of that as well. It’s decidedly pleasant, but also decidedly non-baseball. The other thing that will throw you off is how so much of the walkways are exposed to the elements on all sides. Given that you can count on two hands the number of games called on account of weather in the Padres’ history, it makes sense: why trap people inside passageways when you can take advantage of the gorgeous San Diego weather?
Instead of going retro, like a Camden or a Safeco, they went modern; the interior will remind you of Target Field… except, of course, for that brick edifice out in left field: The Western Metal Supply building. If you’re a fan of a NL team and have a good color guy doing your team’s tv broadcasts, you will undoubtably know by now that PETCO was built as an extension to an existing structure, the historic, cant-be-torn-down Western Metal Supply building. Inside Western Metal Supply you have your team store, as well as a bar thats open to the public and event spaces. They pay tribute to Wrigley with the bleachers on the roof, and the left field foul pole is the corner of the building. It’s incongruous, a little, but it works.
The top floor is the public space open to anyone, which includes an exhibit to The balcony in the public bar is open to anyone, first come, first served. They used to let people spend the whole game out there until things started to get a little territorial, and then they instituted a rotation – from the start of the game until the 3rd inning, and then from the 4th to the end of the game. The fact that you could buy a $5 park pass (more on this later) and head up to take your turn in those seats is just fabulous.
The press box was absolutely glorious. I don’t want to hear a beat writer ever complain about a San Diego series. Ever.
I wasn’t a big fan of the field level concourse. It felt a little too cave-like. I’m not sure I’d like sitting in the higher rows of the field level. Maybe it’s different when you’re sitting as opposed to standing.
Speaking of standing, there are standing room rails all over the ballpark, and, again, anyone can avail themselves of those positions, whether or not you’ve purchased an actual seat, or whether you’ve paid $5 for access to the park behind PETCO. It’s an actual public park that’s open to anyone until 4 hours before game time. Then, access will cost you $5. There are concessions, bands, a wiffle ball field and as you might expect, dozens and dozens of children running wild. There’s also a lovely statue of Tony Gwynn.
In front of the park and bordering the right field fence is a seating area called “The Beach”. It’s bleacher-like, with sand, grass and bench seating. Kids run around the sand pit during BP as players toss balls over the fence. The activity is strictly limited to children and it’s enforced by Padres personnel. It’s wonderful to watch a genuine, joyous scramble that’s not full of professional ball hawks. The players seemed to enjoy it as well.
The home bullpen is on the other side of the batter’s eye, which is where you’ll find the retired numbers. I found them to be a little lonely and awkwardly placed. It was cool when they had flames in the background for the home run celebration, but that doesn’t happen at PETCO that often. The visitor’s bullpen is on the field along the first base line.
These are the magic boxes that the umpires use when reviewing home run calls!
Sitting to watch a game was pleasant. Since it was not a game we cared about, we did not buy tickets in advance but instead bought seats to that night’s game right before the tour. We could have purchased a seat in just about any location, but decided that $21 was our pricepoint. That got us seats in right field just above the visitor’s bullpen, in the second row of the upper deck boxes. People arrived late, California style, but there are definitely some dedicated fans – including some that dress like the mascot.
The mascot is the Swinging Friar. He is active, but when we inquired as to Swinging Friar memorabilia for our collection (like a doll or a bobblehead), there was some eye rolling. The best we could do was a keychain.
Getting into the ballpark was a little odd, as the left and right field entrances take you into small covered concourses and you have to walk up ramps to get to the field level. It was a little claustrophobic and would definitely give you a bad impression of the place if you hadn’t been there before and seen how open and inviting the rest of was.
Speaking of open and inviting, BP access is open; there’s nowhere you can’t go except the seats behind the net directly behind home plate. A+ for that.
My view of the field would have been lovely except for that dreadful scoreboard. I’m not even talking about the antiquated video board, but rather, the clunky erector-set feel of the entire assemblage. Also, I hate a ballpark that doesn’t have the team’s logo prominently displayed at all times. There is nothing that says PADRES anywhere on the scoreboard when it’s not lit up, and the PETCO logos just looked half-baked.
You could easily fly into San Diego for a series and not ever need a car. There are dozens of hotels, many in walking distance (the Omni connected to the ballpark by a walkway), and others a quick ride on the trolley. The airport is less than 10 minutes by cab from downtown, and there is no shortage of bars and restaurants between downtown and the ballpark. Your chances of the game being rained out are slim and none. And, if you want a non-baseball distraction, there are many, many tourist attractions in the area, from the San Diego Zoo to Legoland. Yes, I am already planning my trip back.
I can’t believe the guide didn’t at least mention Randy Jones BBQ a staple for the Padres since at least the 90’s. Still there are a TON of places to go. An ideal trip would consist of going from mission valley (near quallcomm stadium) going to Chevy’s or the Gordon Biersch brewery if that’s more your style, for happy hour. Then hop on the trolley to downtown and get off at the convention center stop and right there to the left is a terrific establishment with live bands and good food for not TOO much. ANd its easy walking distance to Petco.
Thank you for the wonderful write up. I too have used my business travel time to satisfy my obsession of baseball, taking advantage of the opportunities to visit many baseball parks, minor & major. After having visited Camden, ATT, Fenway, Norfolk Harbor Tides….I was really disappointed when I first walked into Petco with all its white, sand and blue, but the place has grown in its beauty and charm with the lush greenery, magnificent waterfall and open breezeways — I have really grown to love it. It says San Diego living.
1) I apologize for your guide not recommending Randy Jones BBQ – signature food, that has been a part of the Padre fare since the days at the Murph. The hot dogs beat out a Dodger Dog, any day, both in size and flavor. My favorite recommendation is Rubio’s fish or shrimp taco, SD home grown fare, which were actually located just below where you were seated.
3) If your visit happens to fall on a Sunday, then the Breakfast at the Park should not be missed. Shaded tables are set up on the outfield warning track. You not only get that up close and personal experience with the field, but with each team’s players performing their warm ups on the field and the pitchers in the bull pen it is a can’t miss experience. Each Sunday brings another surprise of who may stop by to eat with you – from CEO Moorad, COO Garfinkle, Padre players, and of course the mascots, The Swinging Friar and Petco’s dog, Ruff and cat, Muew. Heath Bell is our regular favorite. It opens at 1030 on a first come, first served basis.
4) Also on Sundays from 1130-Noon, two Padre players sign one item for children 14 and under.
5) The Park in the Park can’t be beat for either playing in nor taking in all the away games which the Padres broadcast for free on the big screen.
6) One correction: the tiles are not made from local sandstone but are actually from India chosen to match the sand color of our local La Jolla cliff colors [no harvesting sand from this coast] The result is a tile that changes color with the sun’s position and is especially beautiful lite up at night with the home plate waterfall running over them and into the pools.
And last but not least, there are stuffed Swinging Friars in the many Padre stores around the park. I have only seen the bobble head as a giveaway a few years ago along with the SD Chicken :) If you are really interested in one and want to send me an address, I will mail you one as a thank you for the great article.
Looks like someone beat me to naming Randy Jones’ BBQ. There are two locations one along the outfield and one behind the home plate area. You want to eat from the one before home plate. What you want to get is the BBQ Brisket Sandwich. Ask for a hot one, you’ll love it.
Thanks, everyone, for the tips for when I make my way back to the ballpark. I’m kind of picky when it comes to BBQ – visiting Kansas City was an embarrassment of riches – but I’ll definitely give it a try next time.
JJP, we still do need that Swinging Friar so I will be dropping you a line!
Thanks to Ducksnorts, Gaslamp Ball for the linkage and to the rest of you for your comments!
I loved your review of PETCO park. Especially your assertion that it is the most underrated of all the ballparks. It’s difficult for me to grasp how people from outside of SD view PETCO. When it was first opened in 2004 I felt as if it was the cream of the crop. The best of the new ballparks. But somehow it never received that type of billing from the national media. I am still unsure as to why that is.
I have been to Wrigley and Fenway and consider both of those to belong in a different category.
The only parks i can compare PETCO to are, Jacobs field, Chase field, AT&T, Dodger stadium, Angel Stadium, The Ballpark at Arlington and Safeco (which I toured but didn’t see a game at).
I feel like PETCO is superior to all of those.
Like the other commentators I am sad that you weren’t directed to RJ’s BBQ or Rubios fish tacos or even the the food up in the Western Metal supply company bar. They have terrific make your own nachos, and carving board sandwiches. The sushi is pretty good too. There are literally tons of premium dining options and while few have the stand out uniqueness of say chicago deep dish or SF’s garlic fries they are still of very high quality.
I go to as many games as possible at PETCO (maybe 20 a years) and I keep score each and every game. If you go to the guest services desk they will give you a scorecard with the lineups already printed in and lot’s of terrific game notes. It’s like a mini media guide and it’s totally free you just need to ask.
Also this year they started giving away free programs called the Padres Blue Print. They too have a free scorecard in them.
I had never thought about the awkwardness of entering at left and right field but you are correct those entrances are rather quirky. The main home plate entrance though is absolutely beautiful with the grand staircase adjacent to a waterfall.
I hope you come back and if and when you do please let me know so that I can join you and give you a fans tour of PETCO. | 2019-04-19T17:18:19 | http://www.metsgrrl.com/2010/08/15/petco-park/ |

How do I reformat the windowsXP hard drive?
Guys please,help I know this is an obvious question for the PC person but I don't know how to do it, and I have untill morning to fix this PC. I have to reformat this hard drive and erase everything to get back my Regedit files (the command prompt won't work because of messed up files) that have gone bad and won't take commands. So hopefully if I reformat then that will help my CD/DVD rom drives to read disks (they spin but won't read).I've gone back and forth with dell customer service and they won't help me unless I pay $100 for some help that I could get off forums. I REALLY need this help, please.
You are posting a reply to: How do I reformat the windowsXP hard drive?
You are reporting the following post: How do I reformat the windowsXP hard drive?
In reply to: How do I reformat the windowsXP hard drive?
If you reformat the hard drive ( I assume it is the 'C'' drive you are talking about) you will erase everything including the OS. You will then have to reinstall the operating system on the clean drive. all data will be lost.
since you are using Win XP why not try to use the System Restore feature available through the run, then msconfig command. IF that doesn't work you can try to repair the OS from the XP disk by selecting repair when prompted. If the drive is really screwed up you may want to risk a reinstall over the current operating system which may preserve you data files.
If you have an other configuration --multiple HDDs or partitions, etc. please let us know.
first of all , back up all the data from ur computer into a partition of ur drive--other than the one which has windows--ifu have any- or keep it in a separate hard disk-- again if u have any-- but the core is get that important matter out first any way to a safe place.
as rich said reply about how many drives u have and yaa how they are partitioned.-- thats c or d etc. | 2019-04-26T02:42:26 | https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/how-do-i-reformat-the-windowsxp-hard-drive-151536/ |
When Should You Call In Sick?
It’s cold-and-flu season, and you know what that means: lots of germs lurking around the office. If you do catch a cold, it’s easy to see why, since a recent survey found that 49% of people go to work “very frequently” even when they feel sick.
If you’re not vomiting, but really can’t take the day off, try these strategies for working under the weather.
Ask to take a half day. Your boss will clearly see that you’re sick and will most likely take pity on you. Plus, since you were in the office all morning, you won’t feel like you’re “missing out” on anything important.
Consider “working” from home. While you should use your sick days to rest, if you’re feeling up to it, there’s no harm in checking your e-mail or sitting in on a conference call from the couch. Just be sure to mute the volume on the daytime TV you’ve been watching all day long.
Stay away. While you are in the office, minimize your contact with co-workers to help prevent the spread of germs. They’ll understand—especially when they don’t end up catching whatever it is your harboring.
Be careful of the cold meds. Some medicines can make you drowsy, which may make you more prone to mix-ups or mistakes. Make sure to read the label before popping any pills. | 2019-04-20T14:12:37 | http://www.jilljacinto.com/blog/2016/9/27/when-should-you-call-in-sick |
The Latin plant name of lettuce, Lactuca Sativa, describes a cultivated plant (sativa), which has some milky liquid (lactuca) in its stems. Who would think that lettuce is a very old plant: that the ancient Egyptians were already cultivating 4000 years ago? The Romans adopted the gardening habit, probably encouraged by the fresh taste and their belief that lettuce would enhance their performance during tempus amoris. There’s an interesting clash between two beliefs here: the Anglo-Saxons called a wild cousin of lettuce ‘sleepwort’ because it had mild narcotic properties. Maybe it’s a question of skilful timing?
The lettuce is a leafy plant with many variations. The Sweet Blond belongs to the loose-leaf varieties, meaning that it doesn’t form a head. It’s a decorative baby lettuce with a sweet, mild, fresh taste. The crisp, light green leaves have pretty fringed edges. Sweet Blond grows fast, so you’ll always have something nice to garnish your cold and warm salads with. Put it in sandwiches too for some cheerful crunch and sprinkle it on pizza or savory pies. | 2019-04-22T12:14:21 | https://www.finnishdesignshop.com/garden-outdoor-gardening-growing-sweet-blond-p-8002.html |

Criminalize Conservatism: Conservatives Are People Too, Aren't They?
Conservatives Are People Too, Aren't They?
Let's meet a few of our favorite Conservatives, just to understand how they really think!
"Ted Nugent Slanders Mentally Handicapped People Just Before Going on Sarah Palin’s TV Show."
"Admit it: You’d watch a train wreck for entertainment. You would. Okay, maybe not a passenger train full of people, but there’s no point in denying that the sheer carnage of massively dense objects flying through the air at high speed, twisting steel, bursting into flame and exploding in tree-shaking shockwaves isn’t at the very least entertaining.
"Something you’d watch, just to watch it. Everybody loves a good train wreck…and in that regard, let there be no doubt that conservative entertainers like Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin are still very much doing their jobs.
"These days, both Ted and Sarah have fallen back a bit on the publicity market. Ted’s mostly relegated to begging for attention on Facebook and Twitter, and Sarah’s doing it on slightly less prestigious venues like the Sportsman Channel. Yes, the Sportsman Channel, corporate cousin to such auspicious titles as Shotgun News, Gun Dog, Shallow Water Angler and of course, Florida Sportsman Magazine. In short, a pretty good fit for NRA propaganda outlets like Cam & Company, and Amazing America with Sarah Palin. It’s also a pretty good fit for Ted Nugent, who’s scheduled to graduate from Facebook and appear on Sarah’s show on January 29th..."
And we found one who is a bit different...yes, that's right - just one.
But now that we've met a few of the Cons, now we can understand the criminal conspiracy called "Conservatism" a whole lot more!
And when we go to sleep at night, we can feel a whole lot different about America's Conservatives!
All kidding aside, we know all about the Conservatives and why they lie about who they are.
Conservatism is the belief that the rich should rule, and common sense tells us that they have no place in a participatory democracy like ours.
...isn't it time we considered criminalizing Conservatism for the good of the country? | 2019-04-23T10:21:49 | http://www.criminalizeconservatism.com/2015/01/conservatives-are-people-too-arent-they.html |
What’s the ONE thing that’s extremely important for your website’s success?
If you said SEO or website traffic, you’re absolutely right. Website traffic is the currency online. They are so many tactics like white hat SEO and black hat SEO techniques and it’s almost impossible to boost your search traffic without learning few basics.
If you’re not getting enough traffic, you’re not going to build a profitable blog that makes money or sales in the long run. This detailed guide is going to help you in boosting your website traffic where you’ll discover few of the best expert SEO tips.
Are you curious to find them out? Let’s dive into the details.
Well, everybody wants to read longer messages in a short sentence. But that’s not true in SEO world. You also need to make sure that it ranks well. If you are serious in attracting audience to your site then you should really consider writing long form of content.
What is long form of content?
Long form of content contains the minimum count of 1500 words. Anything less than 1500 words is not said to be long form of content anymore. Try to publish a post of at least 1500 words. But aim to write around 2000 words.
In a research conducted by serpIQ in 2012, it’s revealed that average content length of each top 10 results was more than 2000 words.
The in-depth articles gets the attention of readers as most of the users need information very broadly on any topic.
Great content is not long form of content. It’s true that long form of content gives more shares, more engagement and higher ranks but that doesn’t mean great content is long form of content. The right content solves readers problem and gives accessible information on any device.
Perform careful research. A well researched article has more useful information. You need to check facts and statistics before writing a post.
Never brag. Just to fill 1500 words, never brag or fill the content with unnecessary stuff. The definition of Long form of content varies based on your niche. If writing 1500 words is bragging in your niche then don’t write. Remember, your content should instil enthusiasm and interest among while reading.
Write content as if you are telling to a friend. How you chat with your college buddies, the same way write the content. Don’t give lectures. The more friendly tone you use, more people are likely to engage.
Gated Content or non-gated content. There are two types of content, gated and ungated. Gated content means the readers have to submit their email address in order to download an ebook whereas non-gated content means they can get it freely. So what type of content you want to write? If you want long-term relationships with your readers then it’s recommended to go for non-gated content.
Choose the topic carefully. Analyze what kind of topics will reach your audience.Think about, keywords and search queries, competitors.
Better design. Design is the new king. You need to make it easy for the people to get more of your content.
Create a promotion strategy. Well, who doesn’t like if their content goes viral. How much effort you have kept for writing content, the same effort keep on promoting content too. Start promoting your content.
Without proper keywords, the content is mere waste but if you use those keywords repetitively in all of your pages then it becomes duplicate content. In a nutshell, keyword cannibalization occurs when multiple subpages are targeting the same keyword.
By using same keyword in all of your pages, no page will be relevant enough to rank high for that keyword.
So, how to avoid keyword cannibalization.
Focus on specific keywords. For each page, set different keywords. Write the content related to the topic and use keywords in alt text for images, title tag, headings. Open a spreadsheet and list every page of your website.Make a note of focus keyword that you have used against each page. When you check the keyword column in your spreadsheet, there should not be any doubling of the same keywords.
Create unique meta description Usually homepages and category pages have the broad competitive keywords. Create unique meta tag titles and descriptions for your pages.
Use anchor texts. If you want to use keywords across your website then make use of anchor texts. Give internal links from one page of your site to another. Search engine gets clarity about the pages if you use keyword-rich anchor text in your internal links. Remember, never ever internally link your target keyword for one page to another page on your blog.
Make the best use of 301 redirects. The code 301 says that page has moved permanently to a new location. If you see keyword cannibalization then use 301 redirects to ensure that all those cannibalizing pages lead to single authority version. To ensure that users and search engine are directed to correct page, change the URL of the page as it is shown in search engine results.
Define your goal of a specific piece of content before you even create it. It needs tremendous dedication if you want your site to have high SERP ranking. Make consistent effort for better results.
Have you ever checked how long does your website takes to load?
If you website takes more than 3 seconds to load well no one will ever visit your blog. It is the best time if site loads within 2 seconds. With the help of BItcatcha speed checker, you can check your website load speed.
Why website load speed is important and why to improve it?
It gives strong first impression. If your website loads fast, it gives strong first impression to your readers and website visitors. We usually consider the fast loading websites to be reliable and professional. Because, we relate website loading speed to efficiency and trust. You know, 79% of online shoppers won’t go back to the website that has slow load speed time. So, it affects user experience a lot if not improved.
User experience. Website load speed must be your number one priority. A good UX design gives fantastic experience to your visitors and a slow website frustrates the visitor. Here are the hard facts, 85% of internet users expects a mobile site to load as fast as on desktop and 40% of users abandons site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.
It affects your conversions. Let’s say 1,00,000 people visit your site every month. If your website load speed time slowed down to 4 seconds, then you will lose 40,000 visitors. In a test done by Amazon, it revealed that they would lose $1.6 billion every year if their website load speed time slowed down to just 1 second.
Affects your Google rank. They are continuously striving hard to make the web really fast. While ranking websites, Google takes website load speed into account. If your server is slower than 2 seconds, Google will reduce the amount of crawlers it sends to your site. It clearly states that Google pick up your latest blog post or any recent updates.
If you don’t consider improving your website load speed, it affects search ranking, user experience, sales and conversions also leads to instant drop-off visitors.
Your presence on social networking sites has a great impact on your site rank and higher rankings are correlated with Facebook, Google plus, Pinterest and Linkedin shares altogether.
In SEO world, shares, comments and likes have great impact on your site rank. If you are not in top 10 results, there are very less chances that user finds your page by performing a search as there is lot of difference in being on the first page and on second page.
Google doesn’t use social share counts DIRECTLY in its algorithm but there is a strong connection.
So, one should be active on social media not for ranking but to build brand authority and to drive qualified traffic.
The right tools increases productivity and helps in tripling your website traffic even faster. Here are a few SEO tools that every blogger should use to increase their search traffic.

is there a way to extract variables that exist multiple times within a routine?
For example, because they are stored as global variables but were passed as arguments as well?
I don't understand the question. Are you looking for a search feature in the Plato source code editor or some feature in the FTN95 compiler?
A compiler feature. Some sort of notification that there are multiple instances of the same variable.
If you keep your subprograms short, say a couple of hundred lines max, you ought to be able to find particular variables scanning by eye alone. Most editors also have a 'find' and 'find next' - Plato does, but the Edit menu only appears when you have a source code file open. Plato doesn't provide line numbers in the source code window (I think) but the current line number is shown in the status line, and you can note this if you want.
Right now I'm using the debugger, because in the "Variables" window it's easier to see, than by looking over the code itself.
/xref on the FTN95 command line might help.
Plato does have line numbers available in the left margin. | 2019-04-21T08:07:44 | http://forums.silverfrost.com/viewtopic.php?p=22376&sid=851753e60e62b0b855064282c0b7cc15 |
Previous experience working for a crisis prevention and intervention hotline helped an Airman from the 352nd Special Operations Support Squadron here, save another Airman’s life.
Back in June 2013, Airman 1st Class Julia Cap, a geospatial imagery analyst, had just arrived at RAF Mildenhall. She had just finished in-processing, when Ray, the ex-boyfriend of one of her friends from technical school, contacted her.
"He reached out to me, because his girlfriend, who was my friend, broke up with him," Cap said.
Ray was stationed at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. His former girlfriend had recently been assigned to Japan. As a result, they had broken up. During that initial contact, Cap realized that he was at an emotional low point. She knew this was a chance for her to step up and step in.
"I asked (Ray) if he'd thought about hurting himself, and he said yes," Cap said. "From there, I told him he needed to go and talk to his chaplain or supervisor and he said he was going to."
Cap checked back the next day and Ray said his chaplain was on leave and he didn't want to speak with his supervisor. In addition, since he was in the intelligence career field, Ray was worried he might lose his security clearance because of how he was feeling.
"Initially, he said he didn't know what to do; he felt very hopeless -- like he didn't have anything else left for him," Cap said. "He was talking about life in general, about his relationship, and said he hated his job."
Ray also said he regretted joining the military, and felt he shouldn't have persuaded his then-girlfriend to join the military either.
"Even if I hadn't had training, I think I would have picked up on the fact he was in trouble, just because of the way he was talking," Cap said. "We were emailing each other, that's the way he reached out to me, and in one day I would get six or seven emails from him, without having even responded to any of them. He was just very needy, and that's what I picked up on."
Cap's prior training taught her to encourage Ray to get help and also to have him think about things he had to hold on to.
"He was talking about getting a new car, and had been putting the money away to save up for it," she said. "Then he said he shouldn't have done that, but instead should have used the money to go and visit his girlfriend right away. But he was really excited about the car, so I told him, 'Well, you might not have this relationship any more, but you have all this money saved up for a car, which you're really excited about.' (I knew to keep him) looking into the future and at the positives."
The 352nd SOSS Airman also reminded Ray he would be seeing his family soon and that would help make things easier for him, as it would take his mind off his problems.
"When people are in that zone of where they only see the negatives, it's really hard for them to see any positive future. They sometimes just need reminding of the good things that are still there," she said.
After about a week of regularly emailing back and forth with Ray, Cap knew the time had come for her to elevate the situation since Ray was not getting any better. After having given Ray an ultimatum to speak with his supervisor or chaplain or she would contact her leadership, Cap realized that she had no choice but to get others involved.
She explained to her supervisor what was going on, and the two of them worked with her first sergeant to reach out to Ray's first sergeant.
Cap continued to speak with Ray. At one point he was on an uptrend because his ex-girlfriend had spoken with him again, but within a few days his ex-girlfriend had stopped talking to him and Ray fell back into his depression.
It was a Monday when Ray was feeling so low that he was prepared to drive his car off the road.
"He was emailing (me) throughout the day, and when I got off work I had text messages from him, asking me to call him," Cap said.
Ray had been to visit his family in Houston over the weekend and was making the drive back to San Antonio so that he could begin his shift at 2 p.m.
"I called (Ray), and he said, 'I need you to talk to me; I'm having really bad thoughts. I'm driving home and I found myself driving at 100 mph.' He was freaking out, so I told him to pull over, because he was in no state to drive."
Cap stayed on the phone with Ray, talking to him for more than three hours as he continued his trip home. During this time, her leadership contacted Ray's first sergeant.
"The entire conversation kept going back to (his ex-girlfriend) but I kept taking him on tangents, asking how his family was, what he did over the weekend, about future plans," she said. "He'd planned a trip with his dad to New Orleans and the east coast, so we talked about that and his car."
Although she knew she was doing the right thing, Cap was nervous about the situation.
"You could just tell that his emotional state was like a roller coaster," Cap said. "There would be times he'd be laughing, and then other times he was just hysterical. Every time I tried pulling him off the subject, he would (bring it) back to her somehow."
When Ray finally arrived at his house, his grandparents, his supervisor and some security forces Airmen were waiting for him.
Ray's leadership took him to the hospital and put him on suicide-watch for two days. The chaplain visited with him there, and when Ray found the courage to unburden himself, he began to feel better about his situation.
"I got an email from him recently, thanking me," Cap said. "He told me, 'My family really appreciates it, and I honestly think that if you hadn't been there to help me, I wouldn't be here today.' So that shows the magnitude of how serious he was about the situation."
No matter what the time of year, it's always important to look out for others, especially those who may not have family with them or nearby.
"Pay attention to people's behavior, and if you think something is even slightly wrong, just ask them," Cap said. "Our shop is really good; some days I come into work and I just don't want to talk to anybody, but the girl I work with in my office always asks if I'm okay."
Knowing people are looking out for others' welfare can be all it takes to open another's eyes.
"Sometimes you don't even realize you're projecting a sad or upset attitude, but just for someone to call you out on it, it's kind of eye-opening. You then have the opportunity to say, 'I'm just having a bad day,' or "Actually, I need to talk to someone.'"
Contact your supervisor, chaplain, first sergeant, mental health clinic or primary care provider. | 2019-04-26T04:57:40 | https://www.military.com/veteran-jobs/security-clearance-jobs/2014/02/04/distance-proves-no-barrier-for-concerned-wingman.html |

I have whipped up a couple of batches of this sun-dried tomato and salmon alfredo pasta this month for various friends. Whenever a friend is having a hard time, or just in need of a little TLC this little beauty is my go-to comfort dish.
Why Sun-dried Tomato and Salmon Alfredo Pasta Bake?
I tend to whip everything up and pop it into one of those disposable baking dish thingumajigs and then pass it on, leaving instructions to bake for about 15 minutes when the urge hits. I know it’s good, because we have eaten it 4 times ourselves in the past month (and we never eat the same dish 4 times in a month).
The first time I made it, my one year old ate 4 (FOUR) bowls, and there was barely enough left to feed my husband when he got home from work. I foresee a lot of fighting over food in the future for those two.
This salmon alfredo pasta is lighter than a traditional alfredo recipe, and therefore totally acceptable when it’s a bit warmer outside. We use some milk and a little bit of cream cheese instead of loads of heavy cream, just to lighten it up a bit. But it is still totally creamy, cheesy and indulgent (I promise). It is without a doubt every bit as comforting as the original, with only half the guilt 🙂 I just know you will love it.
I use salmon, but some shredded chicken, or broccoli for the vegetarians, works just as well in there. Use your imagination and get creative, it really is a versatile dish (as is the case for a lot of the meals you can find at whole food bellies).
If you need some bread for mopping up all that delicious creamy, cheesy goodness, why don’t you whip up a batch of these honey wheat dinner rolls. They only take 40 minutes from start to finish, and they make the perfect accompaniment. Pop a simple salad on the side and you are good to go.
A lightened up twist on the traditional alfredo, this sundried tomato and salmon alfredo is every bit as indulgent as the original, but without loads of heavy cream. Creamy, cheesey goodness with sun dried tomatoes studded in there to give it a little pop of sunshine.
Pop the salmon fillet into the alfredo mixture and put the lid on the skillet. Let it sit for about 3 minutes before flipping it over and putting the lid back on for another 3 mins (you may need a minute or two more on each side if it is a thicker cut).
If you are making for a friend or for the freezer then transfer to a greased dish or a disposable aluminium dish before topping with parmesan and putting into the oven.
Omg this pasta bake looks absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be pinning this so I can give your recipe a try!
Oh thank you CourtneyLynne 🙂 Hope you love it!!
We eat Salmon like people drink water. This would be a perfect dish in my house. I am pinning and will try it for dinner!
Haha you sound like my mum – every time I ask what she is having for dinner there is salmon involved 🙂 Hope you love it!
This sounds delicious! I’m always looking for meals that I can make quickly and share with neighbors and friends.
This looks so good. My hubby would love something like this!
Thanks for sharing this…a few substitutions and I can easily make this vegan (minus the salmon and dairy).
I am drooling just looking my screen. This looks unbelievably tasty. Definitely something my boyfriend and myself would enjoy!
This has some of my favorite ingredients. Once you add that to the easy prep time, it’s a definite must-try!
My family loves salmon and pasta. Needless to say I’m sure they would love this recipe.
Pasta with salmon is different. I now would love to remix my next Alfredo pasta with it!
Yeah you should try it, so yummy!!
I love that this recipe uses salmon. I get stuck in a rut of the main meats (beef, chicken, pork) and am ready to break out and try new things!
Ugh I know right, I get stuck in a rut as well sometimes!
Pasta and salmon, my favorites! I honestly would not have thought to make them in a dish together.
I must be odd – I always combine them, but so many people are surprised by the combo 🙂 I love it!
Goodness! I’m glad I have pasta for my dinner now or I have to “suffer” looking at your super delicious recipe. I”ll give a try of this for sure. Dried tomato and salmon are perfect for pasta.
Haha thanks Rose 🙂 Yeah the sun-dried tomatoes just worked so well with the salmon!
This sounds amazing! I love salmon, and so do my kids! I never thought to combine it into a pasta dish though, we usually just bake or grill it.
I bet this dish is good! Sun dried tomatoes and salmon are two great flavors. Combining the two just seems delicious!
Yum these are all my fav ingredients. Love this idea and will certainly try it.
Oh this really looks great. I am actually doing pasta tomorrow but will have to save this for another day. Looks totally yummy!
This sounds so good – it’s a lot like a dish we make that we call “skillet” – adding salmon would be a great addition! Thank you for the inspiration!
I am going to have to make this for my husband. I bet he would absolutely love this!
I hope he does 🙂 Mine is a big fan!
I have never had salmon with pasta before. This looks really good, though! I may have to try it.
this looks delicious. i do enjoy a good pasta dish.
Oooh penne is the best especially with tomato sauce I love the freshness of the dish. I am a veggie but I would love to substitute the salmon with quorn chicken.
I have made a vegetarian version subbing in some steamed broccoli, and it was really good!!
I love salmon and why I didn’t think of pairing it with tomatoes is beyond me. Thanks for a recipe I look forward to making!
I hope you love it as much as we do Terri 🙂 Yeah I guess it seems like an odd pairing, but it works so well I do it all the time!
OH wow, that sounds so delicious. I love meals like this and I know my family will love it. | 2019-04-24T14:00:52 | https://www.wholefoodbellies.com/sundried-tomato-and-salmon-alfredo-pasta/ |

St Joseph’s College aspires to be a place where Gospel values are witnessed, excellence in academic, cultural and sporting pursuits is promoted, where students actively engage in social justice initiatives, where leadership skills are nurtured and where a sense of connection to the wider community is encouraged. The mantra of ‘St Joseph’s students can do anything’ is an encouragement for students not only to dream of possibilities, but to adopt a growth mindset so that they can live, learn and achieve.
Located on the grounds of the foundation house of the Sisters of St Joseph who arrived from Perthville in 1883, the College maintains a strong connection with the congregation and the Josephite charism. This charism guides us in forming a faith-filled community inspired by justice and service.
The staff of St Joseph’s College are passionate about the development and learning of our students, and committed to enabling them to become young adults of strength, spirit and integrity. It is our hope that by the time our students leave St Joseph’s, they do so as confident, creative, energetic, young men and women, who are ready to question and express opinions, who are prepared in the Josephite way, to roll their sleeves up and commit to serving the needs of others; who are prepared to challenge stereotypes, and interact with others using a strong moral compass.
We understand that parents/carers want their children to be well educated, to be happy and cared for within a learning community that provides firm foundations for their future adult life. We believe that the foundation laid through an education at St Joseph’s College, together with positive partnerships with parents and carers will enable our students – your children, to learn to grow and change, understand what it means to love and respect themselves and each other, and aspire to be the best person they can be.
We are but instruments in the hand of God. | 2019-04-19T11:10:21 | http://www.lochinvarsj.catholic.edu.au/our-college/principals-welcome/ |

For 17 years I was married and living in a beautiful home in Wheaton, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. I was a stay-at-home mom, choosing to raise my three sons, rather than delegating that to a sitter or child care center.
I had been successful in constructing an almost perfect life.
That’s why it was so devastating when my executive level husband lost his job. His company, a trade association of the savings and loan industry, was a victim of deregulation. His offices, in downtown Chicago dwindled from a bustling 150 people down to 30. He was one of the last people out the door.
He’d been employed there for 10 years. Losing that job caused something inside him to just snap. From the last day he turned off his lights and said goodbye to his long-term office, he quit looking for work. For almost three years I supported the family with day care income earned by taking care of other people’s kids, but it soon became apparent to me that he wasn’t ever going to work again. He became depressed. Then, he became scarily psychotic.
Before too long I found myself in front of a judge filing for divorce and sole custody of my children. Devastating doesn’t even describe the depth of feelings I had as my hands shakily signed the papers for divorce from the only man I’d ever loved. Over the past year, he’d become a danger to his children, his wife, and possibly even himself.
I hadn’t worked in 10 years.
I’d never even seen a fax machine, much less all of the computer-driven technology that was mandatory in every office.
I had no college degree since my husband had always pooh-poohed it as a waste for me.
Once the divorce was finalized, with a judgment for 33 percent “child support” based on some future salary my husband might make, he disappeared off the face of the earth. For awhile, while I still had some funds, I hired a private investigator to find him. He’d covered his tracks so well, he couldn’t be located.
I had several frustrating meetings with a totally overwhelmed child support collection officer. His office was so piled with manila folders of women in exactly my same situation; he had a path from the door to his desk chair. Folders tipped crazily in stacks at least three or four feet high. Needless to say, he didn’t have any more luck finding the ex than I did with my fancy private eye.
So there I was, a suddenly single, totally unprepared mom of three sons, aged 4, 10 and 12, with a below poverty wage of $25,000.
Looking back at the eight years I struggled, daily, to feed, clothe and educate my growing boys, I sometimes wonder how I managed. I had to get rid of my beautiful house — property taxes were $6,000 a year, almost a quarter of my salary — the only one my children had ever known.
A full 10 years after my divorce in 1994, Illinois voted in a new governor. One of his campaign promises was to clear up all of the old deadbeat dad cases. My ex was at the top of the list, considering he owned approximately $50,000 in unpaid child support. I’d completely written him off and forgotten him after 10 years of no contact, not even birthday cards or Christmas cards for his kids.
But the child support division had not forgotten him. And, through whatever wizardry they possessed, they found his bank account with a balance of $50,000. Imagine my surprise when I opened my mailbox and found a check from the state of Illinois in the amount of $50,000. Too late, because now my boys were quasi-adults, ages 14, 20 and 22. With those funds I purchased an inexpensive home for one son, a car for another and a college fund for the third. I was sorry they had to suffer.
This past Father’s Day the Cook County, Illinois, Sherriff published a website with more than 1,100 parents who are being investigated for avoidance of child support. A recent sweep picked up 80 parents who were behind on child support payments and who are now behind bars.
These types of actions are needed, because according to the U.S. Census Bureau only 47.3 percent of all custodial mothers received ALL of the child support the courts required. Seventy-seven and a half percent received SOME. And the rest, like me, received none.
Since Bill Clinton’s presidency, new laws have been put on the books that will help single moms that find themselves in the same tight spot I was in. The National Deadbeat Dad List was created to track nonpaying parents from state to state. In 1992, the Child Support Recovery Act and in 1998, the Deadbeat Parents Punishment Act, was passed which criminalized non support of biological children.
Let’s hope that the next generation of children that grow up in single parent households have all of the financial support they need to grow into productive members of society. If they don’t, it’s society that foots the bill.

The Tshisimani Centre for Activist Education has been established to strengthen the theoretical, strategic, organisational, creative and analytic capabilities of worker, student and community activists struggling against racism, sexism, poverty and inequality.
The Tshisimani Centre for Activist Education draws its name ‘Tshisimani’ from a word in the TshiVenda language meaning fountain, spring or ‘at the water source’. This captures the driving inspiration for the Centre, which is to nourish, replenish and sustain the power and capacity of activist movements, organisations and networks engaged in grassroots struggle to build a just society in South Africa and internationally.
Formed in early 2016, the Tshisimani Centre provides structured and reflective learning programmes for social justice activists to complement their experience in fundamentally addressing, and finding solutions to, the injustices faced daily by the poor, marginalised and disenfranchised.
Building our courses in conversation with activists, we question the ways in which intersections of class, race and gender, give rise to massive and exploitative differentials in wealth, power, privilege and opportunity. We are committed to building a unique and inclusive space for combining specialist expertise of leading intellectuals with the knowledge and skills gained by activists in struggle on the streets and in communities. | 2019-04-24T04:04:21 | https://ngojobsinafrica.com/non-profit-organization/tshisimani-centre-for-activist-education/ |
Are you a steampunk fan? If you’re unsure what steampunk is, have you ever seen the film The Wild Wild West?

If you’d like a little steampunk in your life, at ShapeCUT we are dedicated to helping bring your wildest steel creations to life. As long as it involves high precision stainless steel cutting, and a spark of creativity, we’re in.
On to making your own personalised steampunk robot.
The crazier and more far-fetched the better. This is steampunk, after all. Put pen to paper, spend some time with the beast, and leave the steel profile cutting and metal processing to us. If you have a few nuts and bolt ideas at hand, that’s enough.
With our help, we will use laser cutting, high-definition plasma cutting, or flame-oxy cutting to design the pieces exactly as you envisioned them. With same day service, we will have all the pieces back to you, ready to build.
Now that you have a vision and all the necessary pieces, it’s time to assemble the machine. It might take some time, planning and work to complete, but soon enough you could be rampaging around your neighbourhood on the back of your very own giant steampunk robot.
If you have any projects, steampunk or otherwise, which involve steel profile cutting, bevelling, drilling, bending or more, we’re here to help.
ShapeCUT is Queensland’s largest privately owned metal processing firm, with over 20 years of industry experience and a total of 10 specialist machines that can meet any steel cutting needs.

Poor bladder control causes the sufferer to leak urine or suffer complete incontinence. Bladder problems can occur in both males and females due to a variety of conditions.
The bladder holds and stores urine. When full, the muscles relax and allow the urine to flow out of the body. People with poor bladder control lack the ability to hold the urine. It is estimated that 13 million Americans suffer from bladder control problems. As many as one in five people over the age of 40 have varying degrees of incontinence. Women tend to suffer more from the disorder.
Childbirth, menopause, weak muscles, excessive weight gain, infections, substance abuse, nerve damage, prostate problems and certain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis may all cause poor bladder control in seniors. Some medications can also cause bladder control problems.
Poor bladder control can occur at any time, and can be an embarrassing experience if the sufferer is not prepared. Commercial pads and adult diapers may all help hide a leaking bladder. Many people who suffer from the condition avoid going out in public or getting too far from a bathroom.
Although lack of bladder control is normally not a medical emergency, many sufferers experience underlying health conditions that can require immediate emergency assistance. Bladder control problems typically strike seniors who suffer from varying degrees of arthritis and mobility issues. The disorder can also occur as a result of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
When a senior starts to feel that they need to empty their bladder, they may rush to get to the bathroom. Arthritis and other diseases often make the senior unsteady and prone to falling. Frequently visiting the bathroom can also weaken a senior and make it difficult to safely sit or rise from the toilet. If a fall should occur, a senior can quickly summon for help using a medical alert system.
A senior who experiences frequent bladder control problems can opt to live their life without medical alerts, but they should take a few steps to ensure their safety. There are several steps that they can take to avoid an accident.
Sudden urge to go: The sudden urge to go may make you jump up and hurry to the bathroom. Having a walker or a cane handy will provide you with stability and help prevent a possible fall.
Frequent bathroom visits: Seniors with bladder control problems often spend an excessive amount of time sitting on the toilet. Having a safety toilet frame installed helps you stand and sit without falling. You may also want to have handrails installed for additional assistance.
Middle-of-the-night bathroom trips: In the middle of the night, it may difficult to get up and go to the bathroom. Having a safety stand/assist placed beside the bed will help you rise from the bed. You may also want to have voice or motion activated lights installed so you are not walking to the bathroom in the dark.
Leaking urine: There are numerous commercial brands of pads and adult diapers that can absorb leaks and keep them from wetting your clothing.
Avoid inactivity: Activity often causes bladder leaks in susceptible individuals, but living an inactive lifestyle is not wise. Pelvic floor muscles play a key role in bladder control, so exercising may actually reduce the incidences of bladder leaks.
Medication: Many physicians provide prescription medication to control the sudden urge to empty your bladder. You should always take all medication according to your physician's directions.
Living with bladder control problems is never easy. These issues are usually a sign of a more serious underlying health condition. In some cases, they go hand in hand with arthritis or other diseases that threaten your safety. Having a medical alert system in place to summon help will provide you with peace of mind. | 2019-04-25T14:28:32 | https://grandfolk.com/guide/medical-alerts-for-poor-bladder-control/ |
introduction As the world's leading trade power, the European Union accounts for 20% of global imports and exports and has a strong interest in creating conditions in which trade can prosper. The European Union is a leading player in international trade negotiations, working towards fair trade and seeking to harness globalisation through the WTO (World Trade Organisation). The underlying principle of European integration has been free trade between Member States and through the gradual removal of barriers between countries, the European Union has become an area within which people, goods, services and capital move freely. Globalisation means that an increasing number of countries, both rich and poor, are taking part in the world economy. This process is changing the pattern of world trade and increasingly affects our everyday lives. However, globalisation goes beyond trade…it means opening up countries to wider contact with each other in order to allow for the free flow of goods, services, people and technologies. In October 2003, EOS Gallup Europe on behalf of the Directorate-General Press and Communication turned to citizens of the 15 Member States for their views on globalisation. Over 7500 citizens across the EU were given the opportunity to voice their opinion on globalisation. The underlying objective being to assess levels of awareness and support, opinions on its regulation, key players in the process, as well as its effects and consequences.
3. Globalisation and Family In your opinion, if globalisation intensifies in the future, would you say that overall this would be more or less advantageous for you and your family?
conclusion • Globalisation process does not frighten the citizens of the European Union. • European Union citizens would like to see more regulation to accompany (rather not to combat) this process. • One must participate in globalisation if one wishes to control it effectively.

True Blood 4.02: "You Smell Like Dinner"
If you haven't been reading the latest volume of Ghost Rider, Issue 5 is a good place to start. Johnny Blaze is nowhere to be seen in this comic, as it focuses instead on the newest Spirit of Vengeance, a young woman named Alejandra. Alejandra is an orphan, raised in a temple and cut off from the rest of the world, trained to someday become the Ghost Rider. However, her upbringing left her unprepared for what it really meant to be the Ghost Rider, and as she leaves her past and the temple behind her, she's discovering not only her own abilities but the world itself.
As someone with absolutely no real world experience and a skewed upbringing, Alejandra is an interesting narrator, and one that Williams utilizes well. She has a level of innocence and naiveté, her lack of knowledge about anything outside the temple giving her an almost childlike quality. However, she also sees the world through the eyes of a demon, and is living with the guilt of missteps she made when she originally took on the powers of the Ghost Rider, and is on a quest to redeem herself for the lives she took when she shouldn't have.
This issue shows Alejandra's first step towards that redemption as she strives to save children from human traffickers in Mexico. Alejandra can relate to the children, remembering how she felt growing up adopted by the fanatical Adam and without a "happily-ever-after secret waiting to be revealed." Like she was, these children are lost innocents, and as she works towards freeing them, she realizes for the first time, it feels good for her to say she's the Ghost Rider. What she's always wanted to do is save people, and as she begins to find her footing, she takes the first steps towards learning what that really means.
Though he lacks a flaming skull, the real horror in this comic comes from the nearly silent Jones, the smuggler Alejandra is hunting down. A man willing to sell children, he's a dark figure with nothing redeeming about him. Where in the past, Alejandra turned her powers on everyone, no matter what their "sin" may be, Jones is a true sinner and the sort of man the Ghost Rider should go against. He's someone she can feel justified in fighting against, and by stopping him, she can move further on the path of redemption. However, Jones is also a connection to a secret Alejandra has long wanted to know, and facing him means more than she expected. Still, she demonstrates that she has the makings to be the sort of heroine who can stand up to adversity and tap into an inner strength beyond only that of her Ghost Rider powers.
Ultimately, Ghost Rider #5 is a slick blend of western and horror, and a comic that offers a strong set up for what's sure to be a wild and entertaining journey. | 2019-04-21T00:46:48 | http://comicsbulletin.com/ghost-rider-5/ |
A Constitutional amendment Bill was approved by the cabinet to provide more powers to the 10 autonomous territorial councils of the Northeast. They are set to get more financial and executive powers. The amendments when approved by the Parliament will benefit 1 crore tribal people living in Assam, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura.
As per the approved amendments, the devolution of financial resources to the councils will be recommended by the Finance Commission. Generally, the councils get grants from central and state Ministries depending on the project.
Another proposal mandates at least one third of the seats in village and municipal councils of Assam, Mizoram and Tripura to be reserved for women. The three states are chosen as they are part of the sixth schedule of the. Constitution.
30 more subjects will be transferred to the autonomous councils. They include including the departments of Public Works, department of Forests, department of Public Health Engineering, department of Health and Family Welfare, department of Urban Development and department of Food and Civil Supply to Karbi Anglong Autonomous Territorial Council, and Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council in Assam.
The amendment calls for elected village and municipal councils for which the state Election Commission will hold elections.
Which Article is Going To Be Amended?
Article 380 of the Constitution – To make it mandatory for Finance Commission to recommend the amount of financial resources to be devolved to the councils.
Sixth Schedule of the constitution – For providing more executive powers in the form of transfer of subjects. This schedule consists of special provisions related to the administration of tribal areas in the states of Assam, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura.
The proposed amendment to provide financial autonomy to the councils enables them to utilise the funds for their development needs decided by the members themselves. Also, the transfer of more subjects under the jurisdiction of the councils will truly enable democracy at the grass-roots level.
It is to be ponder whether the same can be provided for panchayats and municipal councils across the country. Lack of control on finances and decision making on key issues are hampering the progress of villages and municipal areas in the country. The political leadership should shed their myopic view of losing their power if panchayats and municipal councils are given more powers. It is high time India gave autonomy to its third-tier of government for a real change. | 2019-04-19T00:22:36 | https://www.classiciasacademy.com/blog/cabinet-approves-constitutional-amendment-for-northeast-autonomous/ |

If only they would insure humans!
I have been a customer for almost 3 years. Both my dogs are covered with the high end coverage ($250 deductible and 90% reimbursement). One of the two dogs has had A LOT of things go wrong requiring advanced and expensive veterinary care and in the Los Angeles area that means really expensive. Healthy Paws has been truly amazing. Their policies are fair and transparent. They don't pay for bells and whistles. They don't pay for office visits (even if it is a specialist). They don't pay for prevention. BUT they pay everything else and do so with absolutely amazing speed. 98% of my claims take 7 days before I actually have the check!! Occasionally they do ask for additional documentation from the vet or call the vet for clarification but on those occasions they communicate with me as well and their requests are completely understandable and reasonable.
Right now they are paying for my one dog newly diagnosed with Cushings Disease and a mucosele on the gall bladder. The meds alone for these 2 conditions run almost $200 per month. Let alone all of her eye drops following glaucoma surgery which they paid for -- in the thousands. | 2019-04-22T12:01:54 | https://www.petinsurancereview.com/reviews/109756 |
and John wanted what Tom and uncle Dan had. They wanted their own family business. With the help of Tom White’s relationships, going back decades with White Brothers, Kristin and John founded their own company, which they named Dubya USA—a play on the first letter of the White Brothers logo.
Dubya USA started out as the exclusive importer of England’s Talon hubs. This Anglo-American relationship was not formed overnight, as Talon had a longstanding relationship with its long-time U.S.
Dubya left the Yamaha YZ450F powerplant alone, but upgraded the clutch to a bulletproof Hinson unit. | 2019-04-25T20:28:39 | http://www.mxa-digital.com/motocrossaction/april_2016?pg=142 |

Thana was one of only three MVP candidates who survived the Angkatan Penyelamat sweep in the elections, scraping through with a simple 501 vote majority.
MVP’s biggest election loss was that of its chief Sanggaran Velu who was delivered a shameful death slap in the face by voters of his Sungai Keli constituency in Kerapi state.
Sanggaran Velu’s self esteem was further crushed with everyone of his veteran CWC members kicked out by voters in other `safe seats’.
MVP’s surviving candidates were younger untested ones like Thana, Datuk T. Thangavel who won the Serkam state seat and S. Thiagarajan who took the Kamat Highlands parliamentary seat.
While appearing to grieve for the sad election ouster of his party chief and other leaders, Thana was thrilled seeing the opportunity laid out for him to move up party ranks, possibly even capture the president’s post.
In a voicemail to Asha after attending the post mortem meeting at the MVP headquarters Thana expressed his exhilaration over his bright political future.
Darling, good news. Ur wish come true. MVP No 1 or 2 post can try now.
His wife’s reply to this caused Thana to break out into a visible blush, his face lit up with a discernible smile.
My darling. Great news. I’m waiting eagerly to shower you with my hugs and kisses. Love you so much dear.
Thana’s gang members decided to celebrate his big step into the House of Parliament with a bash at a prominent Chinese restaurant in a resort at the seaside town of Port Higgins just about 30 km from Mereka city.
Despite her initial reservations regarding Thana’s gang, Asha was filled with pride at her husband’s latest achievement in politics and was ready to accept anything associated with him.
She gamely followed him dressed in her best saree and jewellery to the celebration, well attended by underworld overlords in Mereka city who had made good in the corporate world.
Her intentions were clear. All she wanted now was for her husband who she had dressed up elegantly in a Marco Ponzi suit for this occasion, to ultimately clinch a place in the upper echelons of society by whatever means.
Besides, some of Thana’s business ventures where he invested his ill gotten wealth in, were doing well and could earn him a place in the corporate world.
But politics was by far the best option for Thana to move up in society, Asha had decided.
Attending the dinner changed Asha’s view of the underworld. She found the VIPs there remarkably well behaved and delightfully polished.
She found no real difference between them and the general wheeling and dealing corporate crowd she was accustomed to so far.
Rosalind Cheong seated beside Asha in the main VIP table was particularly delectable in all her flamboyance and great beauty.
The young Rosalind of mixed German-Chinese parentage and married to the proprietor of Merekasia’s Benteng Casino and hotel group, looked exquisite in her green emerald sequin body hugging off-shoulder gown.
All eyes were on Rosalind and Asha noticed Thana’s roving eyes but shrugged off any jealous notion as she herself was flaunting her good looks soaking in the admiring glances of the other men.
Rosalind spoke very little but smiled a lot. Asha attempted to chat with Rosalind but all that came out of her mouth were single word answers.
Though she was friendly and paid attention to Asha’s words Rosalind would go no further than to utter “Yes”, “No” or give a whole-hearted smile in response to Asha’s attempt at banter.
Being the wife of the guest of honour gave Asha the privilege to whisk away Rosalind to the resort garden beside the restaurant while the men gathered at the cigar bar.
Alone with Asha, Rosalind suddenly opened up to her. Apparently the 28-year-old spoke very little English, raised in Germany by her parents.
Besides German Rosalind was well versed in Mandarin taught by her Chinese mother, a Mandarin lecturer in Hamburg, Germany.
In her halting English she told Asha she recently married Tan Sri Goh Cheng Huat 15 years her senior, shortly after he wooed her at a wedding dinner in Hamburg.
Goh had invested heavily in manufacturing concerns in Hamburg and other German cities with Rosalind’s parents now managing these investments.
Coming close to Asha’s right ear Rosalind started whispering, her eyes darting about as if looking out for eavesdroppers.
Asha was visibly shocked hearing this. Her palate dried up and the throat began choking up unable to digest the whack of Rosalind’s candid probe into the reality of her undeniable social status. But she was not prepared to injure her dignity as yet.
Thana’s a politician. He just won the Timbang parliamentary seat. He’s an MP now.

Soldiers in Nghe An Province have safely removed a 250-kilogram Vietnam War bomb from a local house after it was found by some construction workers.
The two-meter bomb was unearthed when an excavator dug around three meters into the ground last Sunday.
A local official said the bomb could have destroyed everything within a 300-meter radius.
Unexploded ordnance threatens a fifth of Vietnam’s land mass, and officials say explosions occur every day.
Deputy Minister of Defense Nguyen Chi Vinh had said last October that the explosions kill more than 1,500 people every year and maim and injure 2,200 more. | 2019-04-22T16:24:33 | http://www.thanhniennews.com/society/250kg-war-bomb-unearthed-safely-in-central-vietnam-60018.html |

I know I'm in the middle of the baseball season, the NBA playoffs, and the NHL playoffs, but for some reason I just want to write about football. Go figure. Let's see what the competition is up to as the off-season activities start and we turn to see what the teams in the AFC East bring to try to compete against New England this season.
Another off-season, another year with New York Jets drama, head-scratching moves by the Buffalo Bills, and the Miami Dolphins going hog-wild in free-agency trying to "win the off-season" and buy their way into competing with the New England Patriots. The Patriots have been on a run equaled in the modern era only by Bill Walsh's San Francisco 49ers, with each of their rivals in the AFC East having made runs at the Bill Belichick led Patriots teams over the past decade.
The Jets made their usual headlines for all the wrong reasons yet again this off-season. Still lacking offensive play-makers, the Jets continued to make moves that defied logic. With the arrest of their premier free-agent signing, running back Mike Goodson, last week for drug and weapons charges the Jets are again being ridiculed for their ridiculous front office and coaching moves. Goodson had a list of issues as long as the dollar signs on his contract, but the Jets seemingly brought him in without a background check. Their other big free agent signing, quarterback David Garrard, did not make it to training camp before retiring due to his knee injury. Do the Jets perform physicals and background checks or just throw darts at free agent lists?
Add in that the Jets are still dealing with quarterback Mark Sanchez possibly at quarterback, even with Garrard's retirement and their release of Tim Tebow after one year of the failed experiment. The Jets took another lightning-rod with their pick of quarterback Geno Smith in the 2nd round of the the 2013 NFL Draft. In addition, they traded their only All-Pro talent, cornerback Darelle Revis, and drafted his replacement, Dee Milliner, in the first round. Revis is coming off major-knee surgery. Milliner is coming off a college career marred with 5 surgeries. Nice to see the Jets finally have a player to match-up with the Patriots depth on injured reserve by taking their own Ras-I Dowling.
The Jets used their second 1st round pick on yet another defensive tackle, Sheldon Richardson. This was to try to replace their best defensive tackles, Mike DeVito, who left in free agency to escape to Kansas City and Sione Po'uha, one year after they gave him $9.5 million guaranteed. So the Jets maintained the status quo: a defense slowly eroding and an offense with few play-makers or weapons and a gaping hole at quarterback. Not exactly a great off-season.
The Bills had a decent defense last season, but it took a hit this off-season as they released linebacker Nick Barnett, safety George Wilson, and cornerback Terrence McGee. THey did keep safety Jairus Byrd and cornerback Leodis McKelvin, and also added linebackers Manny Lawson (free agent) and Jerry Hughes (trade with Indianapolis). Again, like the Jets, the Bills are not going to challenge New England in 2013 and are building for the future putting their hopes for the 2014 and beyond on a rookie quarterback.
The Dolphins surprised last season behind rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who had an excellent rookie season in the shadow of fellow 1st round picks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. This season, the Dolphins turned their mountain of cap space into an off-season free for all, as they signed every free agent under the sun, it seemed (other than running back Reggie Bush, who they let walk).
They started by resigning a trio of contributors prior to free agency, keeping wide receiver Brian Hartline, back-up quarterback Matt Moore, and safety Chris Clemons. Then they splurged on both sides of the ball, signing premier free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace away from the Steelers, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe from the Ravens, linebacker Philip Wheeler from Oakland, tight end Dustin Keller from the Jets, and wide receiver Brandon Gibson from the Rams. Not done after the first few days of free agency, the Dolphins franchised defensive tackle Randy Starks, and then went bargain shopping after the initial rush of big contracts. The Dolphins netted two offensive linemen on the cheap, guard Lance Louis (from the Bears) and tackle Tyson Clabo (from the Falcons). They added defensive lineman Vaughn Martin from the Chargers, and got depth for the secondary in cornerbacks Brent Grimes (also from the Falcons) and Patrick Scales (raiding the Ravens again). Whew!
I hate to say it, but the Dolphins got some really good pieces in free agency, and got great value for their dollar in Clabo and Grimes. Their draft raised some eyebrows, as Dion Jordan, defensive end from Oregon, was a bit of surprise. He will be charged with chasing Tom Brady, but is one of those hit-or-miss one-dimensional pass rushers. They grabbed cornerbacks Jamar Taylor in the second round and Will Davis in the third, as they desperately needed help in the secondary.
The Dolphins will be the main competition in the AFC East for the Patriots. Remember, the Dolphins are counting on a trio of young, unproven backs to try and replace Reggie Bush, who was their entire offense last year. They swapped Anthony Fasano for Dustin Keller, who is injured more often than naught. The Steelers let Mike Wallace walk for a reason, and history is hardly filled with former Steelers who thrive outside of Pittsburgh. The Dolphins went crazy adding linebackers, which was a position of strength last season, because they released Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett. The secondary is still a question mark. As good a signing Tyson Clabo was, it was a necessity due to losing their best offensive lineman, Jake Long. The Dolphins season really revolves around quarterback Ryan Tannehill taking a big step forward in 2013. Any slippage at quarterback could lead to a long, frustrating season and general manager Jeff Ireland's head on the chopping block. Remember, the Bills "won" the free agency battle last year and all they got in return was enough losses to earn the #8 overall pick (which, of course, they traded).
The New England Patriots may not go 6-0 against the AFC East in 2013 (like they did last year), but their competitors in the AFC East are an intriguing mix for sure. With the Jets and Bills in the first two weeks of the season, the Patriots will be tested immediately within the division. Miami does not come to Foxboro, MA until week eight, and then the Patriots arrive in South Florida in week 15 in what could be an intriguing show-down for division supremacy. Or, it could be like week 17 last year, when the Dolphins quit on the season early and the Patriots rolled to a 28-0 win and locked up the first round bye in the playoffs. Only time will tell. | 2019-04-18T16:51:39 | http://bostonsportpage.blogspot.com/2013_05_25_archive.html |

NEW DELIHI: Days before India submits its national ‘INDC’ climate plan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his visit to the US, where he addressed the United Nations Sustainable Development (SDG) Summit in New York and pushed forward bilateral opportunities to boost India’s clean tech sector.
Top officials from the US and India gathered in New York for a Global Round Table last week, against the backdrop of a World Trade Organisation summit to coincide with India Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US.
Building on ground covered during his last visit to US as well as President Barack Obama's visit to India early this year, Prime Minister Modi also spent time with technology and business leaders in California to discuss innovation, the digital economy and renewable energy, and addressed the SDG Summit in New York where the global goals were formally adopted.
As Prime Minister Modi landed back in New Delhi on Tuesday he tweeted about the “several successful outcomes and opportunities” brought by the week-long visit in the US, during which he said he talked with US President Obama about “trade, climate change, energy and defence cooperation”.
With India's INDC for Paris due to be submitted tomorrow, the country is set to build on its already strong progress in developing its clean energy sector. | 2019-04-23T04:03:59 | https://www.under2coalition.org/news/ahead-india-indc-prime-minister-modi-hails-extraordinary-partnership-us-clean-energy |

Joey Scouts is the first Section of Scouts for boys and girls aged 5 to 7, and it’s all about discovery and excitement! Joey Scouts are part of a ‘Mob’, led by a Joey Scout Leader. how to create table in mysql database A Scout leader or Scouter generally refers to the trained adult leader of a Scout unit. The terms used vary from country to country, over time, and with the type of unit.
It takes many hours of effort to become a leader. I think my husband has been 'invested' but as an assistant leader. he still has to go on the training camp and all that sort of thing. how to become green arrow Education and training requirements for recreation workers vary with the type of job, but workers typically need at least a high school diploma or the equivalent and receive on-the-job training.
7/04/2011 · In their own way every Scout Leader who stays in the game for any real period of time will become, for their own section, a good leader. Now, if being a good Leader is about being able to run camps, be able to teach ray mears about backwoods skills, kayak, climb, shoot, etc., then there probably are not too many good leaders around.
The first requirement for becoming an Eagle Scout is to have progressed through the lower ranks of the Boy Scouts. The ranks preceding Eagle Scout, from lowest to highest, are Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, and Life Scout. Each rank progression has its own requirements, represented by various merit badges. | 2019-04-20T14:51:51 | http://chavernet.com/australian-capital-territory/how-to-become-scout-leader.php |
Visiting Africa was a dream of mine for my whole life. I remember watching nature documentaries as a child and being enchanted by the variety of animals and habitats in the world. Reading books set in Africa also contributed to this desire. When I was wondering what I was going to do during the last summer before I started a five year, no vacation, engineering degree and stumbled across an advert from Projects Abroad, I knew immediately that this would be the right way to spend my remaining free time.
So there I was two months later, saying goodbye to my family before entering the first of three planes that would bring me halfway around the world to Nairobi. Choosing Kenya over other African destinations was easy; to me it was the epitome of the African experience.
Sam, the Projects Abroad staff member responsible for picking you up at the airport and getting you to Kigio (Kigio Wildlife Conservancy, where I worked on the Conservation project), was easy to spot by his Projects Abroad sign. I arrived in the evening, so I was taken to a guest house to sleep. As soon as I arrived I crawled into the bed and slept to try to conquer the jet lag that was taking a hold of me.
The next day I was taken to Kigio and got my first real taste of Kenya. Seeing the streets and crowds of downtown Nairobi from the back of a matatu (a local form of taxi that is basically a large van) was quite an experience and a little bit overwhelming for somebody from suburban Canada. It was new for me to see so many people moving about in one place.
There was so much to see and hear that it was very hard to take it all in at once on that first day. Sam was pointing things out to me, but there was already so much to take in that I could barely listen to what he was saying! During the two hour drive to Kigio, there were some amazing views of the Kenyan landscape, and of the way people live in rural Kenya.
As we drove into Kigio I was greeted by herds of impala, groups of warthogs and Thompson’s gazelles, all of which we saw daily while we worked. When I arrived at the camp, I was greeted by the other volunteers, a few of the rangers, and Tonny, our supervisor. Bert, who was two months into his three month project, showed me around the camp and made sure I was settled in the room.
That afternoon we played volleyball, which I soon found out was a weekly activity every Wednesday. The other volunteers were planning a trip to the Kakamega rainforest that weekend, and they had enough space left in the matatu that they had hired for me to come along.
In the rainforest we saw a variety of monkeys, trees and birds. A few weekends later we rented bikes in Hell’s Gate National Park, and saw some interesting geological formations. A tip for future volunteers: Rent the bike at the gate of the park, once you have bought the ticket, in the semi-official looking garage that is part of the Kenya Wildlife Service building.
Our days working at Kigio were normally split into a morning and afternoon shift. There were a variety of different jobs and we rotated through them to make sure everyone got to try everything, and nobody got bored of having to repeat a single task too many times. My favourite job, and a general favourite with the other volunteers, was the giraffe survey. On Kigio there were twenty-six Rothschild’s giraffes, all of whom were named and identifiable by the pattern of the spots on their necks.
During giraffe survey, one of the rangers, Muchiri, drives the jeep throughout the conservancy while we look for giraffes. Once we find one, or a group, we stop and use cameras, binoculars, and the identification book with their names and pictures to identify them. We record data about their location and activities, and then move on. The goal was to find all of the giraffes, but the most we found in one day while I was there was twenty-five.
The best day of the week was Thursday. There is a very good reason for this; Thursday was chapatti day. Chapatti is a traditional Kenyan dish which is similar to naan bread, but generally thinner and more delicious. It was served with lentils and was the absolute best meal that Karaoke, our cook, prepared. There was always plenty for everyone, and it was not uncommon for individuals to consume more than twenty pieces on their own.
After we were all stuffed, we would play cards or board games, have a campfire outside, or watch TV. The stars were brilliant, and completely foreign to me, because Kenya is almost in the southern hemisphere. Watching the stars by the fire and listening to the hyenas laugh was a surreal experience, and allowed me to feel like I was really in the wild - that was a great feeling.
On one of my last weekends, I travelled to the Masai Mara Game Reserve with a group of volunteers. This was our chance to go on a true tourist safari. We saw every animal you can think of!
One of the most rewarding experiences I had was on my second last day of work. A group of primary school children were touring the conservancy, and Tonny asked me and three other volunteers to give them a short presentation about nature and what we were doing at Kigio to conserve wildlife, and what they could do at home. The kids were adorable and listened intently –they loved looking at the I.D. pictures of the giraffes and playing with the set of binoculars that we brought for them to see. Seeing how excited they were about everything really helped me to gain perspective on the work we were doing and feel good about what we had accomplished.
All in all, my trip was everything I expected it to be. Working outdoors in the middle of Africa was a great experience, and I also had many opportunities to see the rest of the country on the weekends, by making trips to town and visiting other landmarks like the rainforest and the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The experience was both rewarding and relaxing, and really helped me refuel for another year of study. I met a lot of great people there, and hope to return to Kenya in a few years as a professional to volunteer again.
One of the amazing things about being at Kigio was that you became more than a spectator. You were able to play an active role in what was going on, and explore on foot, rather than being confined to a vehicle as you would on safari. | 2019-04-20T14:28:23 | https://www.projects-abroad.co.uk/reviews/en-uk/josh-b-kenya/ |
What is a noun clause? Need help understanding is a noun clause and what isn’t? Check out our page and find our noun clause examples and learn how to weave a noun clause into your own writing.
A dependent, or subordinate, clause contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase but does not express a complete thought. As a result, it cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses can function either as noun clauses, adjective clauses, or adverb clauses.
A noun clause is a dependent clause that acts as a noun. Noun clauses begin with words such as how, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, and why. Noun clauses can act as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, or objects of a preposition.
Noun Clause Examples #1) The focus of our work is how we can satisfy customers most effectively.
Noun Clause Examples #2) Choose a gift for whomever you want.
Noun Clause Examples #3) Whichever restaurant you pick is fine with me.
Noun Clause Examples #4) Be sure to send whoever interviewed you a thank-you note.

Registry Toolkit performs search &/or replacement operations on the Windows XP Vista Windows 7 & Windows 8 registry (32-bit and x64). The program now is unicode capable. You can search/replace in registry data, values, keys (or any combination) and specify the types of data to process. A browse function lets you can scroll through the registry to select a starting point for your search/replace.
You can create and edit keys, values, & data, delete keys & values (after confirmation), and undo the last changes made. Output functions let you preview the changes that would be made by a replace in advance of actually making the replace. Replace preview can also be set up to let you interactively select specific replaces to be made in advance of the operation. This same possible is available for the undo function - you can reverse all or some of the last change made.
Regular expression search/replace using a grep-like syntax is possible - no other utility does this. The program can also use DOS environment variables in search/replaces. You can import and export .reg files. The import function has a registry comparison preview that shows existing vs. new data. You can adjust what is displayed in the preview and eliminate some items from the operation before merging the data. A unique 'Operations' function can be used to copy, move, export (or delete) selected values to another location in the registry or a .reg file. Script & command line functions are available for automated &/or complex operations. Registry Toolkit will operate on a remote registry (if you have permission to do so). A print (w/ preview) function lets you print the display.
The program also allows multiple 'undo' files that are named automatically. This provides a change history that you can use if you need to backtrack on one or more changes; The number of files to maintain is configurable via a registry setting (see the program hlp and readme.txt); The most recent operation can be reversed from the program interface via an 'Undo last replace(s)' function in the Edit Menu; The program can now list values &/or values/data under the highlighted key. | 2019-04-23T10:41:54 | https://www.start64.com/index.php/64-bit-software/64bit-registry/2747-registry-toolkit |
Happy Sunday morning to everyone and our beloved community.
I have been enjoying this morning, listening and looking at my favorite TV show Sunday Morning on CBS. It is a wonderful documentary type show and then all of the shows like Meet the Press etc who are discussing the up coming Inauguration. This is an exciting time to be alive, we are in the midst of history!!!!!!
I am writing this blog entry this morning because I woke up feeling full, full, full of gratitude with all of the responses to my blog posts. People have been generous, thoughtful, sweet, forgiving and positive. I am so grateful for your kind words etc. It is difficult to respond to everyone but I have read every one of your responses.
Today I feel more positive, more optimistic, more enthusiastic and more hopeful than I ever have. I feel great about President Elect Obama and positive about the potential of Soul Purpose.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for your support. Please keep writing and blogging, your words are encouraging.
I have received so many copies of your final word on Warm Spirit from my Warm Spirit team that I had to look you up for myself. I thought you stepped down from Warm Spirit due to health reasons. I didn't question it because you had came to the conference right after a surgery, so it all kind of made sense to me. I always wondered why you didn't address us yourself, so thank you for your explanation. Warm Spirit actually was no more the second you left. For me, Warm Spirit was a Lifestyle and it was easy to run the business because I was proud of the you, the company and it's accomplishments. My Warm Spirit business lost it's spark about a year ago. I feel like a big liar because everyone would ask what happend to you and I told them you stepped down to take care of your health. I feel used and betrayed by Daniel Wolf and his crew, but he wouldn't care, because I haven't been a top producer for a while. He knew that we would all follow you. My 41st birthday present to my self next month is to start my new soul purpose business. My mom is so mad that she is writing to Oprah to ask her to bring you on her show to tell your story. I told her that you still might not be able to tell your story. I am so glad that my teammates sent me your blog. Warm Spirit closed because God don't like ugly. Our people need to stop being crabs in a bucket and start sticking together to lift each other up.
Thank you for your very thoughtful message. It is such a relief to hear back from people positively and to learn of their experiences. I feel really blessed to have the opportunity to tell my story and share my testimony. I am free to speak about it now and as long as I am telling the ruth and only speaking about my experience I am fine. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to have started Soul Purpose and I hope it provides a healthy prosperous place for people to continue their entrepreneurial journeys. I would love to have you on the team and I am here to provide support.
Tell your mom I would love to tell Oprah my story.
One door closes and another opens!
It was good!!!!!! "Soul Purpose is Good"
One step closer to your Soul Purpose! | 2019-04-18T20:47:29 | http://blog.nadinethompson.com/2009/01/heartfelt-gratitude.html |

faq - Western Irrigation, Inc.
A: No. Western Irrigation is a full-service irrigation company who will take you through the process start to finish. We contact J.U.L.I.E. to locate underground utilities on your property and arrange for all necessary plumbing to be performed by our licensed plumber, as well as obtaining all necessary permits.
A: The type of work being done will ultimately determine the time frame. For instance, if you are having a new lawn installed or repaired, we would be the second to last step in the process, the last being either your seed or sod. In the case of general building or construction, we can typically work around other contractors unless a large portion of our installation area is obstructed. In this scenario it would be best to wait until completion of the project.
Q: My Controller shows the zones working, but here is no water coming out of the sprinklers?
A: Generally this happens after a rainfall when the rain sensor is full of water, the main shut off valve is closed or one or more of the ball valves on tech RPZ is closed. Please see our how to section on turning your main supply On / Off.
Q: Where is my main shut-off valve for the system?
A: It is usually located near the water meter or by the hot water tank, marked with an orange Western Irrigation tag.
A: Refer to your owner’s manual for specific programming instructions, Pro-C manual page 18, ICC manual page 27, Icore manual page 16.
A: First make sure there is power at the outlet. If there is power at the outlet then the controller might need to be replaced. Call Western Irrigation for service.
A: When a program finishes watering and starts again, we call it repeat cycling. A common reason for a controller to repeat cycle is more than one start time is programmed. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific instructions, Pro-C manual page 17, ICC manual page 25, Icore manual page 15..
Q: My system is coming on at the wrong time?
A: Check time of day of the controller, it may need to be reset. Refer to the owners manual for programming instructions, Pro-C manual page 16, ICC manual page 25, Icore manual page 15.
Q: Why won’t my controller turn on a station or program?
A: Make sure the controller is programmed correctly. Stations that do not turn on may not have a run time scheduled in the program. A program missing a start time, run times, or days to water will not come on at all. refer to the owners manual for programming instructions, Pro-C manual page 25, ICC manual page 26.
A: Yes, just set the “station run time” to zero for the problem zone, and you can still run the other zones. Refer to the owner’s manual for programming instructions, Pro-C manual page 17, ICC manual page 26, Icore manual page 15.
A: First turn off the water by closing the valve before the backflow or in the basement at the irrigation shut off which is marked by an orange Western Irrigation tag. Call Western Irrigation for service. | 2019-04-21T20:05:31 | https://www.westernirrigationinc.com/faq/ |
More than two-thirds (69 per cent) of bowel cancer patients say they weren’t advised to exercise regularly after their diagnosis – despite evidence that brisk physical activity is linked to better survival in bowel cancer, according to a Cancer Research UK study published in BMJ Open.
The research, from the Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Research Centre at UCL (University College London), is the largest study of its kind. More than 15,000 bowel cancer patients were asked about their current level of physical activity and whether they were advised to be more active after their diagnosis.
Patients who said they were given advice were more likely to be physically active than those who didn’t recall being given this information.
More than a fifth (22 per cent) of bowel cancer patients surveyed did the recommended amount of physical activity a week (around two and a half hours), almost half of patients (45 per cent) did some exercise, but a third did none at all.
Lead author Dr Abi Fisher, senior researcher at the Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Research Centre at UCL, said: “Our research suggests that advice on being active isn’t in place yet, but we believe this should become a part of bowel cancer care. Previous research has shown that doctors can increase their cancer patients’ levels of activity by discussing exercise, but they need clear information to ensure this important advice becomes routine.
NHS guidelines for physical activity recommend that healthy people have at least two and a half hours of moderate physical activity a week.
Although there are no official clinical guidelines in the UK on giving bowel cancer patients advice on physical activity, several studies show that it is safe and beneficial for most patients.
For those recovering from bowel cancer, physical activity is linked to better survival and reduces the risk of cancer returning. It also reduces cancer-related fatigue, depression, anxiety and is linked to better quality of life for cancer patients. | 2019-04-20T16:42:09 | http://oncologynews.com.au/two-thirds-of-bowel-cancer-patients-arent-advised-to-exercise-despite-health-benefits/ |

Paradise Elementary School is located in a rural area of Central California. They service students who live within their district, as well as surrounding districts, from Kindergarten through the 8th grade. To ensure the faculty and staff stayed connected with the students and their families, they decided to launch a website in late 2016.
Paradise Elementary contacted Rare Digital after speaking to another client of ours, and we began working toward establishing their web presence shortly after our initial meeting. They wanted a website that would function as a gateway for their school, providing vital information to current and future families.
“Rare Digital was very helpful, patient, and supportive in establishing our website,” staff commented. We were happy to help! Our ongoing support contract with the school ensures all monthly calendars & site content remain up to date. | 2019-04-22T08:40:45 | https://getraredigital.com/blog/2017/04/paradise-elementary-school-district/ |

Many people helped to make this project happen, but there are a few in particular whom we would like to give special thanks to.
During our time in Berlin, we had the amazing opportunity to work closely with four refugees. They were our translators for Arabic, Turkish and Farsi. They helped us break down the language barrier to get the story, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Many thanks to Anmar, Amir, Aimal and Obaidullah.
We would also like to thank our hosts during our three weeks in Berlin. Evangelische Journalistenschule (EJS), KarLoh CoHousing and Ecosia green search engine were all kind enough to lend us their space for research, interviews and production. Having a place to get work done and focus was vital in creating this project.
We certainly would not have made it without the generous support of our donors. During the fall and spring semesters we crowdfunded through Indiegogo and held several fundraising events. Some of our supporters chose to remain anonymous; we would like to credit the others here.
None of this would have been possible without the support from the University of Montana School of Journalism. A special shoutout to Kathleen Whetzel, assistant to the dean, who put in countless hours to help organize the trip.

To start the game they put several black and white pearls in one of the boxes. Each robot has N moves, after which the initial set is being restored for the next game. Each turn, the robot takes a pearl out of the box and puts one of the opposite color back. The winner is the one who takes the white pearl on the Nth move. | 2019-04-20T02:49:52 | https://py.checkio.org/en/mission/box-probability/share/3f9186cc8f36d05877d13ea6c589f066/ |
As November draws closer, new images for Sony’s PS4 spaning new interface emerge.
You guys and girls have been going nuts over Sony’s PS4, and it’s not even out yet!
The eagerly-anticipated PS4 will be in stores by November as early as the 15th in America and two weeks later on the 29th for us in the UK, Europe and Australia/New Zealand, ready for the Christmas sales. Although, with the demand as high as it is now, it might be sold out way before December!
Sony’s new games console will cost £349.99 (RRP) and will come with a choice of games to play it on.
That’s not all, Sony’s feeling generous as it is offering a ‘significant discount’ of their new (not-yet released) games such as Assassin’s Creed IV and COD: Ghosts, for those who have purchased the PS3 version. Be prepared to pay in order to play online, as Sony are testing out a Pay-per-Play service for its online users.
New images have been emerged showing off the user interface for upcoming Playstation, including it’s home screen, social media sharing widgets and a video editing suite.
However, remember that all good things come at a price, because you’ll be gaining a better console, higher specs and more newly developed features! If you want to be on of the first in line. Pre-order your PS4 now from selected retailers.
Check out the new UI photos below! | 2019-04-20T14:45:50 | http://endz2endz.com/technology/ps4-user-interface-images-emerge/ |
With Vikings RB Adrian Peterson out for at least Week 2, QB Matt Cassel will likely throw the ball more than he did against the Rams in Week 1, when he threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns.
If Minnesota falls behind a hungry New England squad early, look for Cassel's arm to get a real test with rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater waiting in the wings if he struggles. Start Patriots' QB Tom Brady, but neither Vikings' QB or their unknown backup RBs at this point.
The Bengals got a bit banged up in Week 1, but RB Giovani Bernard will get increased looks from QB Andy Dalton with TE Tyler Eifert out with an undisclosed injury. Pencil Bernard into your fantasy roster for the next several years if he stays healthy. Falcons QB Matt Ryan won't put up the same numbers (448 yards, 3TDs, 0 INT) he did against New Orleans, but he and top WRs Julio Jones, Roddy White and Devin Hester look to be among the league's best. In the game against the Bengals, you should also start Cincy WR A.J. Green.
Dallas QB Tony Romo is listed as probable after practicing this week with a back injury, though his ears may still be burning after many die-hard Cowboys fans and others blasted him on Twitter and Facebook for throwing three first-half interceptions in a 28-17 loss to the 49ers last week. With Romo, there's always been an ebb-and-flow so start him if he's your only decent fantasy QB until the team selects another starter or you trade for someone better. Tennessee will try to assert itself in its first home game under new coach Ken Whisenhunt. Many fantasy owners have remained high on rookie RB Bishop Sankey, though I wouldn't start him against the Cowboys.
The comeback (cardiac?) Colts showed many similarities in Week 1 to 11-5 teams the past two years with QB Andrew Luck under center. Yes, they're deeper at wideout this year with the return of WRs Reggie Wayne and Hakeem Nicks, but it'll be tough to pick which of those two or T.Y. Hilton is going to have a big game from week-to-week. Start them at your own risk, but at least one of them should put up solid numbers against the Eagles in what looks to be a Monday night shootout.
Not many would have predicted the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills would both win their first games before facing each other this week in Buffalo, who won with a overtime field goal in Chicago last week. Start Dolphins' RB Knowshon Moreno, who was huge in the win over the Patriots last week and is listed as probable with a shoulder injury. I'd bench Bills' RB C.J. Spiller (53 yards, O TD last week) until he faces a more run-friendly defense.

Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Midway, Kentucky?
There are several drug and alcohol treatment programs possibilities to people residing in the Midway area. It is very important recognize each one of the types of rehabilitation possibilities that are offered in Midway, AB., so that you can find the ideal rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Selecting the most appropriate drug and alcohol treatment program in Midway is an essential element in the treatment of substance abuse, addiction and alcoholism. This info will help you to recognize your various treatment options so that you have the maximum possibility of an effective final result.
Let's have a look at the many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Midway, Kentucky possibilities that coincide with the condition of the person looking for rehabilitation.
Inpatient drug treatment in Midway, AB. is often a rehabilitation choice best for those who need medical intervention for the duration of treatment or clients with considerable substance abuse histories. Women and men can develop both mental and physical dependence to drugs even after a short time period, so inpatient drug rehab in Midway is regarded as the most effective rehab possibility in virtually all situations. As a result of substance abuse and addiction, women and men will often be unable to recover using the limited services available from outpatient rehab centers in Midway, Kentucky where drugs are still easily available when they depart the outpatient center. In addition, individuals in treatment who take part in outpatient rehab instead of inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Midway continue to be vulnerable to negative relationships and conditions which may get in the way of their process of recovery. When someone lives with an abusive companion or maintains relationships that entail substance abuse, any treatment endeavours in outpatient rehab are done in vain. For this reason in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Midway, AB. will most certainly generate more beneficial results that can prove lasting contrary to an outpatient alcohol and drug rehab facility where advantages are often very minimal and acute.
In Midway there's both short-term and long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation. Short-term is often a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Midway, Kentucky is significantly more prolonged and rehabilitation lasts 90-120 days on average. It is deemed an ideal environment for clients because it is a secure drug-free environment where they can heal both mentally and physically without interruptions. Ideally, people proceed within a long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation facility in Midway for the optimum period of time allowed, so that they can handle anything which may jeopardize their sobriety after they depart treatment. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require 2-3 weeks alone, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation in Midway is going to be time spent well and significantly more efficient than short-term centers.
The main aspect of all if you or a loved one has a substance abuse or addiction concern is to do something about it, make calls and seek the advice of experienced addiction specialists and get an assessment and rehab options to ensure the best potential for a full recovery. | 2019-04-23T02:31:56 | https://www.addictionca.com/Midway/Kentucky/Drug_Rehab_and_Alcohol_Treatment_Centers_Directory.htm |

The Tahoua Tuareg of Mali belong to a larger group of Berber-speaking Tuareg who live in an area that stretches from the western Sahara to western Sudan. The Tuareg are divided into several main political groups or tribal units. Their distinguishing characteristics include the unity of their language, their alphabet (which uses tifinagh characters), and their complex social organization.
Although the origin and early history of the Tuareg are cloudy, these tribal nomads appear to have traveled down from North Africa in a series of migrations as early as the seventh century. By the end of the 1300s, Tuareg tribes had established themselves as far south as the Nigerian border.
At the beginning of the 1300s, salt, gold, ivory, and slave markets sprang up across Tuareg territory, which stretched across North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. During that time, the Tuareg became well known as livestock producers and merchants in the Saharan and Sahelian regions.

President Donald Trump has revised the executive order that was earlier signed on January 27 this year, barring Iraq this time from the banned list of countries travelling to the United States. The ban which would come into force on March 16 had earlier created chaos and affected people around the world. Keeping this in mind, the new order, which the White House said Mr Trump had signed in private neither comes into effect immediately nor has Iraq in the listed banned countries like earlier. However, the ban will remain against 6 other majority Muslim nations who were there in the first order list as well, namely Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. These 6 nations would be blocked from entering the United States for at least 90 days. According to the White House official, Iraq was exempted form the banned list because the Iraqi government has promised to counter Islamic State militants. Failing to do so, Trump can put Iraq back on the banned list.
Besides this, the indefinite ban on refugees from Syria has also been lifted in the new order, but it will follow the 120 days refugees suspension order along with the other countries. That means, no refugees in the United States will be allowed for a period of 120 days. The move will also cut the number of refugees admitted each year to 50,000 from about 110,000. The new measures have been taken to strengthen vetting procedures, according to a homeland security summary of the order.
The new order gives relaxation to the people who have legal permanent residence in the US, known as green card. That means legitimate visa holders will remain unaffected with the new travel ban.
With president’s revision, a wave of criticism has again started from Democrats and immigrant rights advocates. People around the globe are fearful thinking about it’s long-term effects. | 2019-04-26T09:38:54 | https://cupofstory.com/trumps-revised-executive-order-travel-ban-6-muslim-nations-excluding-iraq/ |

Discussion in 'Politics, Religion, Social Issues' started by miloblithe, Sep 29, 2005.
Like many of the people on this forum, I'm quick to criticize the United States. I'm also quick to criticize other countries. I imagine that like many of the people on this forum, although I criticize the United States, I firmly believe that the US is a great country and has a lot of amazing and wonderful things about it.
So how about it? Let's talk about some of the strengths of the US for a thread (and make the conservatives a little happier I imagne).
That's a very scary mentality.
It's freedom of thought and individuality unlike any other country's that engender ideas that become inventions that change the human experience, sometimes for the better.
even a little deeper than that, imo it's this idea that just because one is born in a certain location doesn't mean they must adopt the cultural or religious patterns of that place.
therefore, any attempt to force conformity or religious beliefs is unamerican.
yeah, we're all basking in the irony.
I think America's diversity is one of its greatest assets as well as one of its greatest weaknesses.
Respectfully, I would disagree. Personally, I see more expressed individuality and freedom of thought here in the UK, particularly as it is far more secular with a greater deal of healthy scepticism towards its institutions.
Mind you, you guys have far superior plumbing.
...the world answers to us.
Give them a break BV, don't forget America's idea of 'the world' is quite limited. I was staying in the CA in 1994 with some American friends and there was a survey of high school kids where they'd each been given a political map of the world without the countries labeled. 45% did not correctly label Canada!
I'd hazard a bet that it's this kind of view which makes America possibly the most hated country in the world.
But honestly, I'm giving the US as a whole too much credit. Really, I like California, which happens to be part of the US, we're the most populous and most powerful state in the country, we're the Fifth largest economy in the world for crying out loud!
Remind me, what's your current debt deficit?
Only little Johnny H. The rest of you have more sense.
Your size, the land not your people.
Of course the US is actually many different States United so should probably be compared to the EU rather than individual coutries or states.
Oh, I don't know: the size of your people is impressive enough. | 2019-04-24T04:29:45 | https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/what-makes-america-great.152131/ |
Luca is now a Claims Conference Kagan Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he is a candidate for a Ph.D. in History. His dissertation focuses on the region of southeastern France that was occupied by the Italians between November 1942 and September 1943. His research “investigates the policy that the Fascist government adopted towards non-Italian Jews,” he said.
The Saul Kagan Fellowships in Advanced Shoah Studies support selected Ph.D. and postdoctoral candidates around the world who are conducting advanced Holocaust-related research. Seven Ph.D. candidates and two post-doctoral students were named this past April as the latest cohort of Kagan Fellows for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Luca says he hopes his research will help scholars understand fascist persecution “in the broader European context of the Holocaust, while also casting new light on the specific features of that persecution before Mussolini’s fall and the following creation of the Italian Social Republic in September 1943,” he said. | 2019-04-19T04:41:11 | https://www.claimscon.org/what-we-do/allocations/red/education/fellowships/fellow-profile-luca-fenoglio/ |

Most people hate the idea of speaking in public. Countless strangers staring in your direction, waiting for you to say something profound, or worse, to fail miserably so that they can laugh at your expense.
The truth is, no-one is waiting for you to fail up there. Instead, the audience is in a default state of empathy and wants you to do well — that’s why you tend to feel embarrassed when someone else makes a mistake on stage.
You might hate public speaking, but you’re likely already doing it more often than you think. If you ever need to run a meeting, teach something to a group of people, or tell a story to a bunch of kids riding in the back of your minivan – you have an audience.
But ask someone to volunteer to speak for 30 minutes straight in front of 50 people, and you’ll see few hands being raised. Most of it is fear of the seemingly unknown – humans are naturally risk averse, so it’s logical to avoid situations of potential failure. It’s precisely these moments however, where we can achieve the most personal growth.
Abraham Lincoln used to be terrified of speaking in front of large crowds. Warren Buffett didn’t even like to say his name in front of his classmates. But speaking to groups is a requirement of success, so how can this irrational fear be turned into a feeling of excitement and elation?
A lot of stress can come from trying to anticipate exactly what you’re supposed to say next, and worrying about what you may have missed.
Sure, our Presidents deliver speeches off of teleprompters, but what did orators do before those nifty devices existed?
Break up your presentation into blocks of points that you’d like to get across. Your brain is better at remember concepts, and you can always use visual cues to trigger them.
It’s easier to captivate an audience with a story because we’re all very familiar with that format.
Have a clear introduction, climax, and conclusion around the topic you’re discussing.
Whenever possible use short stories as examples throughout your presentation. Stories are simpler to remember (both for you and the listener) and can often have the biggest impact on the perceived quality of your talk.
This does not include slides with endless bullet points. A wall of text has no additive value in a presentation, and is likely to distract from what you’re saying.
Visual cues, however, like images and easily digestible graphs can help get your point across.
They can also act as a tool to reel your listeners back in if you do happen to lose them while describing something relatively complex.
Professional athletes look composed in front of thousands of fans because they practice every play to anticipate any scenario every single day.
Practice delivering your entire talk at least three times before you do it in front of an audience. By the time you get up on stage, your content will feel familiar and you will feel more at ease.
Billionaire Marc Benioff, founder of Salesforce.com, is known for delivering highly captivating presentations. Even at his level, he has been interviewed saying that he’ll practice a talk up to 30 times before doing it in public.
The feeling of speaking in front of an engaged audience can be intoxicating. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing a fan say that your stories may have changed the direction of their life.
Next time you hear someone looking for presenters, do raise your hand – the worst that can happen is you’ll pick up a useful new skill along the way. | 2019-04-22T20:55:58 | https://www.goalcast.com/2018/01/31/4-things-best-public-speakers-do/ |
Apps as Browsers: Can You Trust Your Mobile Apps?
During one of our brainstorming sessions looking for interesting research projects, our group thought about how most mobile applications are, in essence, “browsers-in-a-box”.
Let me explain. When you open your favorite app, chances are it tries to access certain web pages and display the results in a certain way. Not all mobile apps do this, just most of them. I’m not only talking about those Amazon or eBay apps (which obviously do behave like browsers that limit their queries to their specific servers) but also apps like Flipboard. I love Flipboard, but at the very core of it, it’s just accessing Facebook and Twitter and displaying it in a pretty way (okay, very pretty).
Can this make apps more vulnerable to something that regular browsers are expecting users to do i.e. behaving unexpectedly? For instance, if an app is performing canned requests to a single specific site, can someone take advantage of this behavior to subvert the app or the site?
I set out to work on this and created an environment to sniff all traffic coming to and from mobile applications both in Android and iPhone/iPad environments. I tested lots of apps, checking their traffic and looking for something that might be exploitable and I did find things.
There is one particular resource management game a friend recommended that apparently is very popular. It turns out this game rewards players with a prize every weekend. They don’t do that anymore and it might be my fault, although I never contacted them directly. The way this worked is as follows: if you liked the game’s manufacturer on Facebook, they would share with you a certain password that would unlock resources only during a particular weekend. They’d change the password every weekend and it would only work during those two days.
The way this was implemented was by means of a plain HTTP request ‘here is the password’ and response ‘here is 10 gold and 10 food for you, thank you’. In other words, you could alter the state of the game from the outside by means of a simple, unencrypted HTTP request. Spoofing the server to point to a local server in the lab setup and getting a fake response of ‘here is 10000 gold and 1000 food’ was, of course, trivial. If ever I’ll see my friend again and show him my progress, he’s going to be quite amazed.
The bottom line of this mini-attack was clear: unprotected canned HTTP is not trustworthy.
There were other problems in different applications, like a fitness application that sells exercise routines to be displayed in your Android device. The routines consist of exercise descriptions, images, trainer explanations with instructions, timings and order of each routine. All these materials are contained in an XML file with links to each image and sound file. Yes, you guessed it, the XML was downloaded in plain-text, unencrypted HTTP traffic. I could have tried to access the paid content by guessing the XML file names but I didn’t try.
I saw some others but my problem with the whole project came when I had to put my findings in writing. The problems I found were so heterogeneous that it was difficult to differentiate this project from any web application pentest. So the clients are mobile applications but I was really looking at somebody’s unsecure web code. At the end of the day, my starting axiom was too true: all mobile apps are essentially web clients therefore they are as unsecure as a browser and that’s how you should treat them.
A failed project, I hear you say? Perhaps, but it opened my eyes with respect to how we – and app developers – need to treat mobile applications as untrusted browsers-in-a-box.

Every November, local Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers set out to fight hunger by collecting food during the annual “Scouting for Food” campaign.
Thousands of Scouts recently distributed orange door hangers to bring awareness to the “Scouting for Food” collection day occurring November 10, 2018.
On that day, the Central Florida Council of the Boy Scouts of America will stop by nearly 500,000 homes to pick up donations. Residents are being asked to place non-perishable items on their doorsteps by 8 a.m.
Marketplace at Seminole Town Ctr.
“Scouting for Food” started in 1985 as a way to help local food banks stock shelves ahead of the busy holiday season. This year’s event in Central Florida is sponsored by Florida Hospital, which will soon be AdventHealth.

The Win the Buy Box option in the Amazon Pricing Rules prompts us to continuously lower your price until you win the Buy Box.
When using the Win the Buy Box option, you set up the Minimum Price Floor, Maximum Price Ceiling, and No Other Sellers Price the same way you normally do for any other Amazon repricing rule. For more information on these options, see Amazon Repricing: Creating an Automated Repricing Rule.
Sellers who focus on winning the Buy Box often beat the Buy Box price by a wide margin to try and win it. This feature allows you to maximize profits by continuously lowering your price in small, predetermined increments until you win the Buy Box.
The price will not drop below your Minimum Price Floor. If you hit your floor price before you win the Buy Box, you will remain at your floor price until the Buy Box price increases above it or you win the Buy Box.
With our Win the Buy Box option, you can choose to initially beat the Buy Box price by a small amount. If that price decrease does not win you the Buy Box, we will continually lower your price by an amount set in a different field until you win the Buy Box.
Once you are holding the Buy Box, we can also raise your price by an amount you specify, once again helping you capture more profit.
1) To use the option, select the Automated Repricing – Continuously price to Win the Buy Box according to the rules below radio button.
If you are not holding the Buy Box, and the Buy Box price changes, we will beat the Buy Box price by this amount.
This is also the amount we will beat the Buy Box price by when you first list your item.
You can choose to beat the Buy Box price by a fixed dollar amount, such as $0.6, or a percentage, such as 1.3%.
If you did not win the Buy Box following the initial price adjustment, we will continuously lower your price by the amount in this field until you win the Buy Box, or hit your Minimum Price Floor.
By continuously, we mean that we will lower your price by this amount each time we run the repricer on the item. The repricer cycle time varies depending on how many active listings you have. The more listings you have, the longer the cycle takes. If you have 1,000 products or less, the cycle runs through all of them roughly every 15 minutes (Amazon imposes limitations on the number of items repriced per minute as a safeguard).
You can choose to beat the Buy Box price by a fixed dollar amount, such as $0.02, or a percentage, such as 0.05%.
Start increasing my price in increments of: In order to help you capture more profit once you are holding the Buy Box, we will continuously raise your price each sync cycle by this amount.
If you don't want your price to change once you are holding the Buy Box, enter 0 (zero) in this field.
You can choose to continuously raise your price by a fixed dollar amount, such as $0.05, or a percentage, such as 0.1%.
until I get to y below my group lowest price: We will stop raising your price when the gap between you and the next lowest priced seller in your group equals the amount in this field.
Enter a value of 0 (zero) to match.
Amazon creates groups of similar sellers on each listing. When we raise your price, we only consider the next lowest price in the group you are assigned to. See the article Amazon's Price Groups Explained for more information.
You can choose to beat the next lowest priced seller by a fixed dollar amount, such as $0.75, or a percentage, such as 1.5%.
In the "start increasing my price...", how can I increase my price higher than the competition while I have the buy box? If I have buy box and I'm at the same price as my competitor, I'd like to increase my price higher to see if I keep the buy box, if I lose the buy box then bring the price down to get buy box again. | 2019-04-25T22:50:53 | https://solidcommerce.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/215723063-Amazon-Repricing-Guide-to-the-Win-the-Buy-Box-Option |
