FRENCH President Francois Hollande has now released information that the attacks in Paris were undertaken by agents of ISIS and that the strategy of the attacks was planned from outside France which effectively confirms statement made by alleged representatives of that organisation on social media which includes a statement ‘we will continue to hurt France whilst they continue to hurt us’, indicating the country would not live in peace as long as it kept up its collaborations with the US-led anti-terrorist coalition responsible for the bombings in Iraq & Syria. The group claimed the attacks were designed to show France that it remained a top target.
Meanwhile in Paris, the authorities have announced a ban on public demonstrations or protest marches as a security measure until at least Thursday. They have encouraged anyone intending to organise a private group acts to either up their security or delay them.
A video released earlier by the group, which had not included any dates or claims of responsibility for the attacks contained a voice-over stating “While you keep bombing, you won’t live in peace. You’ll even be scared to go to the market”.
The British Foreign Office has announced a telephone number for people worried about British residents who have been injured in Paris which is 00 44 207 008 0000 and the Irish government has issued its own number 00 353 1 0408 2000 for those with Irish relatives.
In associated news, U2 who were due to play at the Bercy Arena just a few miles from the Bataclan tonight (November 14) have cancelled their concert and it is likely that the friendly football match between and England and France to take place on Tuesday November 17 will also be cancelled as a mark of respect. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T04:40:25Z', 'url': 'https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2015/11/14/paris-attack-undertaken-by-isis-says-french-president/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
The window whose interface orientations you want to retrieve.
A bit mask of the UIInterfaceOrientationMask constants that indicate the orientations to use for the view controllers.
This method returns the total set of interface orientations supported by the app. When determining whether to rotate a particular view controller, the orientations returned by this method are intersected with the orientations supported by the root view controller or topmost presented view controller. The app and view controller must agree before the rotation is allowed.
If you do not implement this method, the app uses the values in the UIInterfaceOrientation key of the app’s Info.plist as the default interface orientations. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T22:43:07Z', 'url': 'https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplicationdelegate/1623107-application?language=objc', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

British Disabled Water Ski Association - Forget the restrictions of the land, leave your disability behind and feel the freedom of the water. With the expert guidance and assistance from fully qualified instructors you can take to the water and learn to water ski, whatever your disability. Amputee, blind, deaf, sufferers of partial paralysis, paraplegic other wheelchair users, people with Multiple Sclerosis and learning disabilities have all graduated from the British Disabled Water Ski Association (www.bdwsa.org).
SkiAbility Ottawa services the Ottawa Valley with a summer-long program. Created in 2005, the program has doubled in size each year and is excited to meet the growing demand of adapted towed water sports. For more information on this program visit www.skiabilityottawa.ca.
In Quebec, the Eastern Townships Disabled Skiers Foundation has been in operation since the inception of SkiAbility in 2005. Benoit Lessard, one of our adapted national team athletes, got his start with the ETDSF program. For more information on this program, please contact Peter Treacy at [email protected].
Skiing Without Limits - Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada (WSWC) officially launched SkiAbility in June 2005. The program focuses on increasing participation in water skiing and other towed water sports for persons with a disability. There is an estimated 3.4 million Canadians with a disability. Currently, this population is under-represented in the world of towed water sports, largely for reasons of limited access, minimal programming and lack of awareness and knowledge on the part of both activity providers and persons with a disability.
If you know of other disability water sport clubs and programs in your area please add to this list by notifying us via our comment form below. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T20:22:46Z', 'url': 'https://www.disabled-world.com/sports/watersports/clubs-programs.php', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Heywood Demesne comprises of beautifully landscaped gardens and buildings assembled in two separate periods over the 18th and 19th centuries; they are known locally as ‘The Italian Gardens’. The original mansion house at Heywood no longer stands , destroyed by fire in 1951. The house had been built by the wealthy architect and engineer Michael Frederick Trench in 1773, at this time he also began the first stage of landscaping the area between the house and the village of Ballinakill. It was at this juncture that the lakes, walkways, bathhouse and the three Gothic medieval follies were built, inspired by Trench’s Grand Tour of Europe. One of the follies is a beautiful small mock castle and the other two are the end sections of two imagined churches, one of the windows which was taken from the ruins of Aghaboe Abbey. A ruined orangery stands on the main approach to the gardens and the striking gatehouse are the only remaining buildings of the Heywood estate.
The sunken gardens at Heywood were developed in the early 1900s by a Colonel Hutchinson Poe who had married into the Trench family. He hired the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens to design the gardens, landscaped by Gertrude Jekyll. The gardens contain a sunken central fountain surrounded by tiers of plants, all encased in a massive circular wall, with circular windows that was built up to support the garden. From there ornate gates lead to a tree lined walk where once bronze busts of the homeowners were situated and onto a terrace which looks out over the lakes created by Trench in the 1700s. Lutyens created only four gardens in Ireland, the War Memorial Park, Lambay Island and the gardens at Howth Castle bare the others. The gardens and renovation of the house were completed in 1912 at a cost of £250,000. The Poe family only stayed in the house until the early 1930s and the house was eventually destroyed by fire in 1951 and a modern school built on its site.
The woodland walk and landscaped gardens at Heywood are an absolute joy to behold, and that was during my visit in the middle of winter, will be revisiting during the summer.

We’ve decided to make a concerted push with regards to our social media presence. This is a big step for us as when the business began, the blog was our main conduit for conveying information and updates.
That was all before GDPR, various data breaches by other organisations and rightful concerns around digital security. The result is, our following on social media has increased exponentially and so has our audience. This blog page has taken a bit of a backward step, though it hasn’t been abandoned by any stretch of the imagination.
In actual fact, you will note from our Instagram feed, that we launched a new high performance gaming laptop as recently as last week!
That system is called the Zanshuri Tau X Laptop and features a dual-battery setup which allows for the choice of extended run-time e.g. day long battery life, or ultra-high performance gaming making full use of the discrete Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card it ships with as standard.
We’ve also documented a number of successes in recent months in winning new clients in areas as diverse as financial services, postgraduate education and farming to name a few.
Political developments in the UK continue to roll-on, but we remain certain that good business will survive, no matter what.
Keep up to date with our work on social media using any of our social links on this webpage. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T11:55:35Z', 'url': 'https://zanshuri.com/2018/08/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

Manufacturing output grew a meager 0.2% year-on-year in January, down from a revised 1.2% expansion in December (previously reported: +0.8% year-on-year). Output of food products; coke and refined petroleum products; and motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers expanded but this was chiefly limited by drops in the manufacturing of rubber and plastics products, and computer and electronic products.
Compared to the previous month, manufacturing production swung from a 1.9% contraction in non-seasonally-adjusted terms in December to a 4.3% expansion in January. Lastly, annual average manufacturing output moderated from 3.7% in December to 3.2% in January.
FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists expect manufacturing output to grow 2.9% in 2019, which is unchanged from last month’s estimate. For 2020, the panel sees manufacturing output increasing 2.7%. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T22:19:10Z', 'url': 'https://www.focus-economics.com/countries/thailand/news/industry/growth-in-manufacturing-output-eases-markedly-in-january', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Abstract: Abstract While business ethics has generated a great deal of research internationally over the last few decades, academic reviews of the business ethics literature remain limited. Moreover, there has been little attempt to date to analyze this literature specifically in the Greater China region, which has been experiencing rapid socioeconomic growth and dynamic evolution of business ethics in recent decades. This paper addresses this research gap by undertaking a comprehensive and critical appraisal of the business ethics literature on Greater China. In particular, it maps out the existing research findings, identifies limitations in methodology, and suggests future directions for business ethics research in this region. The findings indicate that the scholarly interests cover 24 research themes, including corporate social responsibility and social performance; ethical beliefs, judgment, values, decision-making, and culture; workplace ethics and behavior; marketing ethics and consumer behavior; and sustainability. This review reveals a growing imbalance between empirical and conceptual/theoretical studies on business ethics. In addition, the published works covered in this review heavily rely on survey method and convenience sampling, with a predominant focus on a single individual level of analysis. Importantly, this study identifies four directions for future research: contextualized theoretical development, addressing multilevel research, developing research design tailored to the Chinese context, and ensuring more diversified and rigorous data collection. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T08:14:10Z', 'url': 'https://econpapers.repec.org/article/kapjbuset/v_3a150_3ay_3a2018_3ai_3a3_3ad_3a10.1007_5fs10551-016-3220-9.htm', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

"Law Enforcement Officers of every rank and file have chosen a profession that puts their life on the line every day for their communities. They’ve answered a call to public service that is demanding and often unappreciated. On National Law Enforcement Day, we have an opportunity to thank them for their service and offer a token of respect," Park HOSA students said.
National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day was founded in 2015 to thank officers across the country for all the daily sacrifices they make for their communities. Since then, many organizations nationwide have joined forces to support National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.) to spread encouragement and respect to these dedicated men and women. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T14:15:34Z', 'url': 'https://www.rusd.org/en/park/news/park-high-school-hosa-students-honor-school-resource-officers/6153', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

In the second episode of Lex Cybernetica, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Cyber Security Research Center‘s podcast, we look into the challenges, problems and dangers of cryptocurrencies with our guests Dr. Aviv Zohar, who talks about his research of criminal usage of cryptocurrencies; Dr. Hadar Jabotinsky, who talks about regulation of cryptocurrencies; Mr. Boaz Dolev, who talks about how cryptocurrencies are secured; and Lex Cybernetica’s host, blogger, podcaster and idiot – I will explain shortly – Ido Kenan.
To cheat someone out of Bitcoin, all you need is a Bitcoin wallet, an anonymous chat platform, some poor schmuck’s ID-card-holding photos, doctored images of a bank transfer and an enthusiastic, Bitcoin selling idiot. I know all that because I recently partook in such a transgression, portraying The Idiot.
The Idiot – to whom, if you’ll indulge my hanging on to any shred of self dignity I still have, I shall refer to in the third person – ignores all blaring warning signs. Warning signs like the ”buyer” urgently in need of Bitcoin, not being able to wait a day and meet face to face, insisting on a bank transfer on a Saturday that will only show up in The Idiot’s account the next day, convincing The Idiot that a bank transfer that doesn’t go through a banker cannot be undone, offering a ridiculously high exchange rate, sending photos of himself holding up an ID card but refusing to send a fresh photo in which he poses as The Idiot asked as proof of identity, agreeing to first transfer the money to The Idiot’s account without any reassurance, sending easily photoshoppable proof of said transfer, etc. Fast forward to a stolen half-Bitcoin later, The Idiot decided to not even go to the police, which he sees as quite inept when it comes to innovative crimes.
Cryptocurrencies offer anonymous possession and trade, easy transactions across physical and legal borders, and high volatility with a change of hacking. If for any reason you lose access to your wallet – a euphemism for both the digital identity of your stash and the app that manages it – no bank or authority can get your money back. If your wallet app has an unintentional security breach, or an intentional backdoor – you will probably never see your Bitcoin again. And let’s not forget Social Engineering of Idiots for Dummies.
States are ambiguous towards cryptocurrency, its legality and regulation. Crypto may foster a lucrative tech ecosystem, but diminishes the state’s control of the currency rate, disrupts following money trails of criminal activity, and makes it easier to dodge taxes. It is also dangerous to the financial environment, as its volatility and vulnerability could snowball and hurt citizens, banks, insurance companies and the stock market. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T14:23:33Z', 'url': 'http://room404.net/eng/cryptocurrencies-crime-regulation-lex-cybernatica-podcast/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Initial agreement between the Estonian aftermarket provider and Switzerland-headquartered logistics company was signed in October 2016.
The first joint engine hub of Magnetic MRO and Kuehne+Nagel emanating from an October 2016 agreement has commenced operation in Amsterdam.
Beginning this summer, Kuehne+Nagel is now transporting Magnetic MRO-branded engine stands globally from its KN EngineChain hub in the Dutch capital.
The center facilitates CFM56-3, CFM56-5A/B, CFM56-5C, CFM56-7B and V2500 engine stands, with the first one having already been leased out to an unnamed customer.
In the coming months, the partnership plans to expand the engine types to includeCF6-80, CF34-8, CF34-10, PW, Trent and LEAP engines.
Risto Mäeots, CEO of Magnetic MRO, said the Estonian company plans to expand the EngineStands24 project to warehouse locations in Atlanta and Singapore in the near future.
Erik Goedhart, global head of aerospace and industrials at Kuehne + Nagel, added: “This cooperation agreement will enable customers to align engine stand asset management and visibility with the technical status and actual asset value and result in reducing total asset management cost while safeguarding the quality support for these important efforts”. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T14:17:34Z', 'url': 'https://www.mro-network.com/maintenance-repair-overhaul/magnetic-mro-kuehnenagel-first-engine-hub-and-running', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

Well the midday sounding is still in thick cloud as expected and the front must be in close proximity. Plenty of sunshine here now with the thick cloud to the south.
Indeed John. So to fall back on the alternative theory and as there was some large Cu/Cb around at the time I suspect the midday sonde was launched into one.
This evening's fax at T72 has a very complex area of low pressure to the north west of the UK with the block to the east connected south west to the Azores HP via the south of the UK. Thus the fronts associated with the former track NNE just to the west of Ireland.
Essentially the next five days can be summed up as a battle between the trough to the north west and the energy tracking north east south of it and the blocking high pressure ridging from the south west into north west Europe which the latter eventually wins after a skirmish at the coal face over the UK.Illustrated quite well by the upper air charts and surface analysis at midnight.
A chilly start with some mist and fog around in some areas which will quickly clear giving a generally sunny and warm day with cloud popping up in central and southern areas. But more general cloud and patchy rain will arrive in the MW and SW areas during the afternoon as the fronts associated with the deep low in the Denmark Straits push slowly east.
The weakening fronts tend to linger in the west on Sunday thus remaining cloudy whilst again the east will be sunnier and quite warm although generally the temps are a tad above average. But to the west another frontal wavy is tracking quickly NNE and the band of rain on the front will effect N. Ireland and western Scotland by early afternoon.and start tracking south east.
Generally a sunny day on Tuesday and although temps will only be around average feeling quite warm as there is virtually no wind.
And the NH profile indicates high pressure gaining the ascendancy and is a pretty good illustration of NH ridging in general. A point made by MV in a tweet yesterday evening.
This morning the ecm introduced the idea of dropping the upper trough south to the east of the UK whilst pushing the European ridge further east and thus temporarily (?) interrupting the Euro > Azores axis resulting in the surface high cell being established further west. It continues with this idea this evening. But this still portends dry and quite pleasant weather and maybe chuck some fog into the mix in the chilly mornings.
Strong indications over the last 24-48 hours of a change of pattern, much of which is later than the short range, although the seeds are sown within it. The seeds that are apparent in our neck of the woods involves the upper trough dropping down to the east, severing the Euro < Azores HP axis and promoting intensification of the ridge over the UK. In a NH context this also involves a strong Aleutian ridge and a cross polar trough Russia to Canada, This establishes the surface high cell in the vicinity of the UK Much along these lines.
The proximity of those surface fronts means that northern and western areas will be cloudy with patchy rain/drizzle today with the sunny and warmer conditions concentrated in the south and east. There might be clearer interludes late on in N. Ireland and south west Scotland.
The cloud and drizzle will hang around in western and northern areas overnight and through Sunday morning whilst elsewhere there will be clear spells leading to fog patches by morning which will quickly clear leading to another warm and sunny day. The cloud may thin in some south western regions but during the day the next wave and associated fronts will track NE over Ireland bringing more concentrated rain and freshening winds to the north west.
As the ridge becomes ore influential a couple of bright sunny days are on the cards for Tuesday and Wednesday with perhaps some showery rain on the weakening front in the south east and some patchy rain in northern Scotland from another front close by.
Overnight and through Monday the front and band of rain ( doubled up with the occlusion on the fax charts) continue to track south east but tending to fizzle out as high pressure ridges north east. Another warm day to the south east of the front but cooler air behind with the odd shower on the cards towards the far north west.
But by Wednesday changes are afoot with renewed amplification in the Atlantic as an upper low arrives in the west accompanied by strong ridging in central areas resulting in another low dipping south east into the North Sea.
On the surface this drags fronts down from the north west with sporadic rain effecting N. Ireland and Scotland and introducing cooler air whilst the rest of the UK remains dry with temps around average.
Thursday quite a cool day in the northerly breeze after a decidedly chilly start but generally sunny with the likelihood of some showers in northern areas. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T00:46:32Z', 'url': 'https://www.netweather.tv/forum/topic/89089-short-range-model-discussion-into-2018/page/108/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Student Council has set out to display Sachem athletic pride! Our aim is to hang pictures of student athletes in the (now empty) hallways of the WHS athletic wing to increase school spirit. We hope that these large prints will “graduate with our seniors” as athletes leaving WHS have the chance to take with them a token of their time in the athletic program. This will also allow us to add new photos to decorate the halls on an annual basis! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T17:00:26Z', 'url': 'https://www.whsstudentcouncil.com/where-were-going', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
The world's largest independent tuning-Atelier – Brabus – it is known to almost every motorist. And certainly many would not refuse the famous nameplate on the back of his "iron horse». The main object of tuning for the Atelier are Mercedes, among which there are famous Gelandewagen. It would seem, "gelik" there is already a long time, a lot of different modifications to it, even the charged version of AMG (the value of which, by the way, substantially rounds eyes). But nevertheless there are motorists who little of what is available. And it is for them in their time started the development of a Mercedes car gelendvagen. We shall familiarize with the essence of the machines on the example of several models.
In the end, the whole image of German and spoke about his Grozny, aggressive and strong character.
But realize the true potential of brabusovskogo merina only when you know its characteristics. «Gelik" 2009 equipped with a powerful dvenadcaticilindrovym biturbirovannym aggregate capacity of 6.3 HP indices are really impressive: it has a full 700 "horses", and the torque limited the mark of 1100 Nm. Combined engine with five-speed automatic transmission.
All this allows the Mercedes dispersed to hundred in just 4.3 seconds, and maximum speed of 240 km/hour (although the speedometer gradation is to 280 km/hour limit was established by engineers of the car). In the end "gelik", despite its clearly not a sports square design, literally takes off when they are pressed into the accelerator pedal to the floor.
7. Also appeared in the salon branded velour floor mats and under wheel petals box.
What can you say in the end? Mercedes gelendvagen brabus, of course, the car is impressive. The buyer obtains the ownership of power and luxury at the same time. Of course, they need to pay a decent amount. In the beginning of the article we indirectly affected the cost of the car from AMG. For those who don't know, this version of the gelika" on the Russian market is not less than 14 million rubles. But even this figure pales before the last brabusovskim variant: the most powerful, tuned, the most sophisticated Gelandewagen, as it became known, will be available at the price of 36.5 million roubles. The most interesting thing is that those who can always be found. Because Mercedes brabusa – this is not just a car, it is a state of life. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T10:32:44Z', 'url': 'http://bestsuv.info/reviews/gelendvagen-brabus.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
At Eulo Chiropractic Center, our Sewell chiropractor often sees patients with migraine-related ailments. As those suffering from chronic headaches know, we also understand how debilitating they can be. A large number of people suffer from some sort of migraine headache symptoms on a regular basis. General migraine headaches symptoms include a throbbing pain in at least one temple, in the eye socket area, or near the back of the skull.
Migraines also have a varying degree of intensity from one patient to another and one attack to the next. Sleeplessness, fatigue, irritability, depression, and sensitivity to light can also all be symptoms experienced during a migraine. Vision problems can also occur shortly before and after a serious migraine.
Instead of prescribing pain medication, Dr. Eulo addresses headaches with all natural chiropractic treatment. Most people who suffer from chronic migraine headache symptoms also suffer from a neck or back misalignment. Through regular chiropractic adjustment and spinal manipulation, Dr. Eulo can help alleviate muscle tension, which is seen as the trigger of many migraine, tension, and cluster headaches.
Triggers such as back strain, sitting in front of a computer daily, poor posture, and dehydration can also cause headaches. Stress at work or home, certain foods, and other external factors may also be seen as the cause for chronic pain. Our staff works to coach each of our patients on improving well-being and nutrition habits, which can sometimes work to alleviate migraine headache symptoms and triggers. Posture, ergonomics, exercise, and relaxation may also be topics of guidance to help our patients feel better fast.
No matter what the chosen treatment for migraine headache symptoms, our patients must be watchful and observant to make sure this condition does not return. By understanding and knowing which triggers lead to a migraine, tension, or cluster headache problem, many are able to keep the pain from recurring. This often means avoiding certain foods or situations that act as triggers.
Patients from Washington Township area and surrounding communities of Sewell, Turnersville, Williamstown, Blackwood, and Glassboro interested in tension headaches, cluster headaches, or migraine headaches treatment may call our office at 856-269-4567. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T13:19:21Z', 'url': 'http://www.turnersvillechiropractic.com/chiropractic-services/pain-management/headache-and-migraine-refief-turnersville-08080.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
When you're as big as Beyoncé, a lot of risks for negativity are sure to come your way. While the singer has certainly been through her fair share of lawsuits in her career, it looks like she's getting another one from the estate of a star who has unfortunately passed away.
According to reports, the estate of late YouTube personality, Messy Mya, is suing the pop sensation over a sample that was used in her "Formation" hit single last year. On the track, Bey uses some words taken from Mya’s “A 27 Piece Huh?” video, which has been seen as a highlight of the song by her fans. Unfortunately, it looks like Messy Mya's estate was not cut a check for the usage, and they have reportedly been trying to get in contact with Bey's team over it for some time now.
Reports say that the camp is currently seeking more than $20,000,000 in back royalties over the use of the lines in the song. So far, there's no word on how Beyonce's camp is reacting to the lawsuit, or if there are plans to contact the estate to mend things. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T15:37:40Z', 'url': 'https://hot1073jamz.com/beyonce-sued-by-late-youtube-personality-messy-myas-estate-over-formation-sample/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Shave the man looks than bearded men young 5. At the age of 5. Dermatology expert Dr. Kenneth Bill said, shave will stimulate facial collagen production, make the skin more smooth. Less point calorie intake can help reduce the probability of occurrence of inflammation, and inflammation may result in the decrease of human cognitive ability. The scientists said, the best daily calorie intake by 30%, for example, the original 2500 calories per day, it is best to lose 750 calories. The long-term lack of sleep will accelerate the skin aging, because the eye muscles get exercise rapid eye rotation during sleep, but the lack of sleep, eye muscles will atrophy, leaving black rim of the eye. 3 hours per week of exercise intensity, can let a person feel 10 years younger.

Negative performance reviews affecting your ability to qualify for a raise or bonus.
Depending on the additional circumstances surrounding the event, it may be possible that you have been subjected to an “adverse employment action.” Ultimately, the question comes down to whether your employer has taken an action, or engaged in a course or pattern of conduct that, taken as a whole, “materially and adversely affected the terms, conditions, or privileges” of your employment.1 This is obviously not a cut-and- dry analysis, and one that requires evaluation by an experienced employment attorney who is familiar with this particular area of the law.
As illustrated from the list above, in addition to experiencing an “adverse employment action,” a plaintiff bringing a cause of action for discrimination under the FEHA must also be able to show that the “substantial motivating reason” for that employment action was because of the plaintiff’s gender, race, age, disability, or some other protected status. This of course, is not always easy, because most employers do not openly state, “I am firing you because you are disabled” (just as one example). Instead, an employer may attempt to rely on negative performance reviews that were previously issued, trumped up accusations of wrongdoing, or they may not even provide any reason at all.
If you believe you have been discriminated or retaliated against at work, it is always a good idea to consult with an experienced employment attorney who can listen to your story, ask you the right questions, and advise you of your rights. Our employment team at Potter Handy, LLP is here to help. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T12:10:27Z', 'url': 'https://www.employmentlaw.legal/blog/what-is-an-adverse-employment-action/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

On the 20th of November 2015 the first session of Play Khayelitsha city gaming series took place at the Zenzele Training Centre in Cape Town, South Africa.
Created as an interactive city game to help stakeholders prioritise investments for developing Khayelitsha’s Central Business District, the first session brought city officials, local politicians, investors and community members together around the game table to share knowledge, build consensus and discuss opportunities for the implementation of the current spatial framework proposals.
Using a playful and interactive method like city gaming towards a shared vision is a conscious choice given the range of stakeholders and interested parties involved with the future growth of the area.
Here we highlight some of the key discussions, ideas and outcomes of the session.
When entering the game room players were given a role card based on their existing involvement in the Khayelitsha central area. These role cards paired players based on their player numbers to simulate a set of 15 teams, each consisting of a range of players.
Each player was asked to voice their main urgency in relation to the development of the area. Issues such as safety, quality public spaces, improved play areas for children and pedestrian- friendly environments were voiced repeatedly by local community representatives. Urgencies around how to create investor attraction, business opportunities for local contractors and the integration of informal traders in new developments were rated high amongst all players as important matters to be addressed.
A new urban image for Khayelitsha was imagined, where young professionals are attracted to work, live and play in the centre in a high density mixed use environment, supported by sustainable home ownership models and creative hubs spaces for social development, with the potentials of this image spreading throughout Khayelitsha.
• What are our desired densities?
• How can we mix land uses?
• How do we accommodate public transport and IRT routes?
• How can we create a 24/7 active and safe space?
• How can we locate our buildings to create a quality urban space?
SPORTS PRECINCT - Because of the role that this precinct will play in the broader recreational quality of the area many players urged for this area to receive primary investment. Players emphasised the need for a variety of sports that will attract young and old while stimulating social development.
RETAIL - Retail represents economic opportunity but also allows for a mixed use environment through small scale retail incorporated throughout the site. This was supported by many players for social as well as economic reasons.
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE - The need for community facilities and public services to be incorporated within housing developments was seen as an urgent priority focus area.
KNOWLEDGE INSTITUTIONS - Youth representatives agreed that Khayelitsha centre needs a university or college to diminish the need for long distance travelling.
CREATIVE SPACES - The proposals for a theatre, lab or creative emporium was very well supported by all players, emphasising the important link between such as space and the residential areas.
The diverse range of proposals made it clear that Khayelitsha’s centre area must become a place where all services and opportunities are available so that residents do not have to leave area to access any social, economic or recreational facilities.
It is clear that both within and amongst stakeholders now is the time for open negotiation. The first session of Play Khayelitsha showcased that through collaborative discussions, issues around how to develop a vibrant city centre while also addressing urban challenges facing the area can be resolved through knowledge sharing and collaborative technical inputs. Possibilities of attracting investment to facilitate development in a coherent manner will be the next challenge that future city gaming sessions will focus on. Consequences of the development choices to the overall functioning of the metropolitan area also need to become a central discussion point for future sessions.
Play Khayelitsha not only brings knowledge together to create consensus but will also streamline the process towards faster implementation. Through including expert views on various technical aspects of the proposals, from water to public transport to infrastructure capacities, future game sessions will ensure that Khayelitsha’s centre will develop into a vibrant, mixed use, sustainable urban environment that will serve local as well as metropolitan needs.
Please find the invited players to the first session of Play Khayelitsha. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T06:13:33Z', 'url': 'https://www.playthecity.nl/page/10283/play-khayelitsha', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
George Kittle getting accolades like making Pro Football Focus’ team of the week would get redundant http://www.49erscheapstore.com/george-kittle-jersey-cheap , but it’s the little things to make this season shine dagnabbit! So with that said, he’s back on PFF’s Team of the Week for Week 9. And it’s a good thing. He made it on that stupid catch and run alone. Kittle finished his night with 108 yards on just four receptions and a touchdown. An average of 27 yards per reception. Send it. Here’s what Pro Football Focus had to say about the selection:The 49ers have had some draft picks that may have been head scratchers but Kittle’s pick is absolute genius on the decision of Kyle Shanahan and Shanahan was surprised Kittle went as late as he did.Currently, PFF ranks Kittle first in yards/route run — two spots ahead of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce, however, beats Kittle in total yards with 741 vs. Kittle’s 692. In terms of PFF’s receiving grades, Kittle ranks third behind Kelce and O.J. Howard. Next up is the New York Giants. Kittle has consistently performed all season Youth Weston Richburg Jersey , but the Giants could present a modest challenge. Football Outsiders ranks them eighth in the NFL in defending tight ends. Who knows how this quarterback or offensive situation will shake out for 2019, but one thing is for sure, Kittle is a crucial piece for it. NFL analyst Brian Baldinger offers up some fun analysis on Twitter when he is breaking various plays, both good and bad. He spares no feelings in offering thoughts on how players are executing. On Wednesday, San Francisco 49ers right tackle Mike McGlinchey got the treatment for his blocking downfield on Raheem Mostert’s 51-yard touchdown.I love his use of “just looking for some Raider meat” to describe McGlinchey making his way after Marcus Gilchrist. And then as McGlinchey stays in front of the speedy Mostert, Baldinger says Cheap Fred Warner Jersey , “Just give McGlinchey the ball, for crying out loud, he’s as fast as the back!”This is the second great quote in two weeks about McGlinchey. Against the Arizona Cardinals, McGlinchey had a great block on Cardinals cornerback Ben茅 Benwikere, and Schlereth said, “Look at McGlinchey out there Youth Brock Coyle Jersey , just dispensing justice on Benwikere!”It’s been a fantastic year for the rookie right tackle out of Notre Dame. He ranks sixth in the Pro Football Focus rookie of the year rankings. He won’t win rookie of the year, but he is all but certain to earn an all-rookie designation at tackle. He’s a monster in run blocking, and is showing considerable improvement in pass protection. McGlinchey struggled out of the gates, giving up at least two pressures in each of the first four weeks. Since then, he has given up one or fewer pressures in four of the past five weeks. He had his worst performance of the year in Week 7 when he gave up two sacks on five pressures to the Los Angeles Rams defensive front.The 49ers have seven more games, facing a mix of bad defenses and decent to good defenses. McGlinchey’s biggest remaining tests coming in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos and Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. We know McGlinchey can dominate in run blocking Youth Arik Armstead Jersey , but seeing him perform against elite pass rushers like Von Miller, Bradley Chubb, and Khalil Mack will be huge for evaluative purposes heading into his second season. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T12:11:31Z', 'url': 'http://turkish-land.com/index.php/component/kunena/2-welcome-mat/6535-youd-think-at-this-point-hearing-about-san-franci.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

It is 43C outside my parents’ home in Ahmedabad. The Indian summer has arrived. We are seated in one of the cooler rooms.
And then, I make an announcement – going forth, I am going to donate a full 10% of my take-home income.
My mother exclaims – don’t you want to save for your future?! Or have you become so rich?
I reply – no, it is nothing to do with being rich. But my basic needs have been met long back.
You might ask, what is so great about my announcement? I have already been donating since a while now.
Over the last few years, I have given it some serious thought. As I travel and read and see the world more, I feel all the more blessed. Things which I take for granted are daily struggles for a lot of people.
The time has come to step it up. Committing on donating is something entirely different, as compared to doing it occasionally. It is a lifestyle change decision.
I know. Money is not the answer. And I can’t even claim that I am helping in addressing the root causes by donating.
But I do believe that even a small amount can make a difference. Especially in India, where many don’t even have access to basic levels of education and health.
I am not rich. And 10% is a small amount. But 10% over the years will definitely build into something significant (btw, donating 10% is a pretty popular concept).
So here it goes. Just like my personal manifesto of creativity, this one is another manifesto – that of giving back. I will keep donating as far as my earnings exceed my needs.
There are a lot many who already do this. Wait up people, I am joining you.
And you? Coming with me?
Hardik had shared your blog post the day you posted it.
Wanted to share my views on the same day. But….
After a lot of pursuing by Hardik, here I am.
As usual they remain thoughts and ideas. Better thoughts and ideas (I feel so)…. But you have ACTED…..
How to better it? By a better action or deed only.
Well, you did something which you felt is correct.
While others (me) thought better.
You have inspired me for sure. To act and not just stop at thinking.
I have my views on ‘donating’ but will share separately.
Kudos for putting thought into action !
Jainism says – Live and Let Live .. these days people are struggling with ” THE SELF” .. I would say the SELF has to be explored from… me…. myself… to, My family .. my society… my City … my Country … Lastly, I appreciate your courage in admitting your satisfaction with what you have been blessed with ….
Wish more were like you!
Thanks masi. This is hardly anything, I know some of my friends who are doing much more. But I guess, finally, the true aim of all this should be, as mentioned in one of the quotes – an end to charity.
Very wise decision – donating is something everyone must do, be it money or something else. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T07:55:11Z', 'url': 'https://peacefulrestlessness.com/2013/05/02/ten-percent/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
By now most of you are familiar with one of the biggest and growing anime event “Anime Festival Asia” (AFA), that takes place in not only Singapore but also in Malaysia, Indonesia and soon to be accompanied by Thailand! Its mission is to become “a platform to connect the Japanese entertainment industry with the audience in South East Asia (SEA)” , which it conveniently does and has been doing an exceptional work to do accomplish this! Not only is this event convenient for the anime consumers of SEA but as well for international fans, since the targeted areas are English speaking countries.
Moreover, AFA may now even be a life-changing event for some with the “Asia Anisong-singer Audition” contest that took place during AFA 2014 Singapore, a competition to find new talented potentials who are seeking to break out in the Japanese music industry as an anisong singer. Surprisingly, one of the judges was actually the CEO of Sony Music Record, Manabu Tsujino! I can’t even imagine what kind of pressure went into the participants during such high stake opportunity. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T15:05:40Z', 'url': 'https://jrocknews.com/2015/02/finding-next-anisong-talent-in-anime.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

A Priory Revealed, which bears the subtitle – ‘using material relating to Merton Priory’ – draws upon a wide range of primary and secondary sources in order to describe, in a most accessible way, the organisation and life of not only Merton Priory, but Augustinian houses elsewhere in the British Isles. However, the focus of attention throughout the book is always on Merton, its buildings; its life; its organisation; its personalities; and the important part played by the priory on the national stage during the Middle Ages.
When it dawned on Bill Rudd that most of the roads in the St Helier Estate in Morden and Carshalton were named after British monastic sites, he conceived the idea of visiting every one of these sites – 108 of them – photographing them and learning what he could about their histories. Abbey Roads, is Bill’s own account of his Project, which he based on his diaries and notes, and this has been illustrated with his fine photographs..
This publication is concerned with two families who, for several decades in the 18th and 19th centuries, were important in the industrial north-east of the historic county of Surrey. They were the Bennetts, coal merchants of Wandsworth, and the Leaches, calico printers of Merton Abbey. These families, who were at first business contacts and then became friends, were joined permanently when Thomas Bennett married Sarah Jane Leach in 1797. Their grandson, Frederick Bennett, seems to have decided to leave a genealogical legacy to future generations. Firstly, from his own recollections and research he compiled a memoir of the Bennett family; secondly, he assembled the inherited letters and papers into a bound volume, and added his own commentary; and, finally, he put together, from both published and manuscript material, an account of Merton Abbey. Judith Goodman has edited these three projects into this volume.
Merton Priory was once one of the most important monastic establishments in the country, with an extensive property portfolio. Though little remains of the priory today, it has been extensively studied. Less is known about its granges and this volume sets out to identify these monastic granges and examine what evidence, if any, still remains of them in the landscape. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-26T04:17:26Z', 'url': 'http://mertonhistoricalsociety.org.uk/category/publications/paperback-volumes/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

Doordarshan. A name that evokes imagery of stately and erudite news readers and mind numbing footage of Giani Zail Singh cutting ribbons at state functions, Professor Yashpal (go well, dear sir) explaining Newton and UGC lectures with slightly less oomph than videos of paint drying. A state-owned, centrally planned, bureaucratically run symbol of the old India, a country that went from The World This Week to #HasShashiTharoorStoppedKillingHisWifeYet multi-panel debates in less than 2 decades, it’s not surprising that they want a change of logo. After all, changing nothing underneath and applying Maybelline to the porcine is the establishment modus operandi anyway. DD will still be a state-owned PR outlet but, they will be so for the “right” establishment.
So in order to take this right turn, the logo is being crowdsourced, one hears, and thus presents a good opportunity to tap into the collective wisdom of this great country. I mean, after all, why not tap into the cognitive surplus of those who comment “Hi dea my number 9XXXXXXXXX how much for one night” on YouTube videos.
But it’s not all that simple. The existing logo is rather iconic and any new effort will be benchmarked against the timeless elegance of the original. Eminent letterers-to-the-editors have railed against this move and members of India’s Strategic Think Tanks (Quora users) have held forth on the deep and profound “eye” symbolism that radiates Truth (Satyam), Beauty (Sundaram) and “I will burn you to the ground with my third eye” (Shivam).
So a new logo for DD cannot be a complete departure from the classic original. As a logo designer, when I approach this brief, I first think of the components of this logo and I see 2 commas and an ellipse (the engineering view) or 2 eyebrows and an eyeball (the humanities view) and it strikes me that the new logo should attempt to use the same building blocks in creative new ways.
Let’s start with thinking about what news has become today. Is it still news? Or is it a dizzying vortex of hypervaandhi, a seizure inducing vertigo of endless minutiae and trivialities? So, a good way for the DD brand to connect with contemporary news watchers is to literally turn the logo into a vortex. And we can do this by simply using 4 of those commas in a clockwise spiral.
Of course, the Sanskrit tagline will need some changes. I recommend Asatyam (fake news) Bhramam (dizziness) Vimohanam (confusion). The good thing is that unlike the competition that promises sanity & delivers vaandhi, the new DD can talk the walk and walk the talk.
Many years ago, I found out that the name Doordarshan comes from the supernatural power that Sanjaya possessed to see action at a distance and relay the shock and awe of Kurukshetra to the blind king Dhritarashtra. But who are we kidding? TV predicted that people will vote against Brexit and Donald Trump, and TV came up with Bigg Boss. So, my suggestion is that rather than take inspiration from Sanjaya, why not take inspiration from the other guy? And turn the logo literally into a blind eye.
Logo Design Pro Tip: All you have to do to suggest a blind eye is to use shades of grey and a whitish cornea.
PS: A good exercise for the reader is to decipher what the updated Sanskrit taglines are.
In business, it is said that emulating the competition is not always a bad idea if you can execute it well. And there is really just one central supermassive black hole in the galaxy of Indian TV – Arnab Goswami. Every other channel has already started to copy his style, turning the entirety of 24×7 news into pointless shouting matches topped with grandstanding patriotism and epilepsy inducing graphics. So DD should go one step further and turn their logo into Arnab.
And they should follow that up and Arnabify all programming, even Krishi Darshan. The new Krishi Darshan will involve debates about whether Garlic Naan is a Pakistani dish and if Indian farmers are anti-national by planting garlic. Soap serials will involve fathers-in-law who look like Subramaniam Swamy and keep berating patriotic sons-in-law who wear double-breasted blazers and Brylcreem.
In today’s world, there is no TV without accompanying social media, sort of like dengue that accompanies monsoon flooding. Today’s reality shows and news programs use hashtags for everything. They help efficiently aggregate everyone’s opinions on, for e.g, #ShouldWeForceTheChineseEmbassyToUsePatanjaliNoodles as a matter of geopolitical strategic interest, or #IsNepotismAProblemInAnIndustryWhereMostFilmStarsAreChildrenOfFilmStars and so on. DD could just warp-speed past the competition by literally turning their logo into a hashtag! And the way to do that is to put the regular DD logo on a diet and then take 2 of them at right angles and hey presto, you have a hashtag.
We could also take lighthearted inspiration from the gadget that has taken over our collective imagination recently – the fidget spinner. And hey, this is India, which means that we don’t take inspiration from anything that doesn’t have an ancient Indian connection, real or whatsapp forward. And for the fidget spinner, we have Lord Vishnu’s Sudharshana Chakra.
Logo Design Pro Tip: All I had to do for this one was to take the Vortex logo and remove one of the spinning arms. Designers are really lazy people who use such tricks all the time and cover it up with fancy sounding language.
And finally, India has a long and rich history of people taking the law into their own hands, like it was prasadam from a nearby temple. Over the years, we’ve seen goons barge into TV studios and express their displeasure over something or the other by the cunning use of office furniture rearrangement. If the new DD needs to compete with private networks, they will need to be edgy, controversial and clickbaity. But they could save us taxpayers money in furniture damage insurance premiums by adopting a logo that is, right now, the safest symbol in the country.
And that’s it folks. Feel free to outrage in the comments section about anything that offends you. Since this isn’t Twitter, I will mercilessly edit nasty comments into praise for Bigg Boss contestant Oviya #OviyaArmy.
One more: A logo that ‘Shows’ the ‘door’ …. to sense, sensibility, sensitivity, commonsense and all other journalistic virtues?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three employees of hedge fund firm Glenview Capital Management, including billionaire founder Larry Robbins, can expect to cross paths at home as well as work after spending more than $50 million on apartments in the same Manhattan luxury building.
Robbins bought the top four floors of the building on New York City’s Upper East Side for $37.9 million, according to people familiar with the situation. He made the purchase through a limited liability company, CRE Acquisition LLC, which is a common way for the wealthy to shield their real estate acquisitions from the public eye.
The lavish purchases by Robbins and two lieutenants were closed on earlier this year before Glenview was stung by some bad bets in the healthcare sector, helping depress its main hedge fund, which is down about 12.5 percent this year as of Nov. 6, according to one of the people.
Jeff Patterson, Glenview’s head trader and partner, is a short elevator ride down from Robbins, who will occupy the 29 through 32 floors, which includes the penthouse plus additional units he purchased.
Patterson bought the entire 15th floor of the building known as “The Charles” in April for $7.4 million, according to city records. The unit is 3,448 square feet, according to listings from realtor Town Residential, including four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Glenview research director J.P. Gutfreund is a floor down. Gutfreund and his wife Lauren bought the 14th floor, paying $7.3 million in April, according to city records. Gutfreund is the son of John Gutfreund, the former CEO of Salomon Brothers. It has the same configurations as the 15th floor, according to a listing.
Robbins’ units were configured to have 12.5 bathrooms and 12 bedrooms over 11,747 square feet, according to a listing. Robbins is getting the apartments as a “white box,” meaning the space is being customized and will likely vary in terms of rooms and layout. The average size for all recorded condominium sales in New York City since 2003 is about 1,200 square feet, according to CityRealty.
The $37.9 million purchase price was the 40th most expensive in New York City history, according to data tracked by CityRealty since 2003. It is also the most ever paid for an apartment east of Third Avenue, a boundary that many of the city’s wealthiest residents preferred not to cross.
A Robbins relative recently used another limited liability company to buy the 27th and 28th floors at The Charles for $20.7 million, according to the sources. That apartment - listed at 7,198 square feet with 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms - is being used as an investment property, according to another person familiar with the situation. It is immediately below Robbins’ apartment.
Glenview, which manages $8.8 billion, has headquarters in the General Motors Building on Fifth Avenue, located slightly less than 1 mile from The Charles, built in 2014.
Robbins wrote in an apologetic October 26 letter to clients that the past three months - when the losses were incurred - were “exceedingly disappointing and frustrating” and that he would “earn nothing” in compensation this year.
But since inception in 2000, Glenview’s main stock-focused fund has averaged annual returns of about 13 percent, according to an HSBC report. The Standard & Poor’s 500’s average annual returns, with dividends, were about 4.6 percent over that period.
Robbins is married and has four children from a previous marriage. He already has homes in Alpine, New Jersey - complete with an indoor ice hockey rink on the property - and in Southampton on New York’s Long Island.
News of Robbins’ purchase was first reported by The New York Times on Friday. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T18:03:41Z', 'url': 'https://ca.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idCAKCN0SY2QS20151110', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

Warren Tales will be participating in The Chronicle Project with the Art House Coop!
The Chronicle Project challenges artists to document a single day in their lives and share it with the community. 24 hours. 1,440 minutes. Or 86,400 seconds — to keep track of something specific, like every sound you hear, or attempt to capture your overall impression of a day. The resulting chronicles will be exhibited in the Brooklyn Art Library and collapse 1,000 unique days into one.
Lately, I've been on something of a walking-bender, and I wanted to incorporate that into my project. Basically, I bought myself a pedometer for my birthday, last year, out of curiosity to see how many miles I naturally clock, and my questionably-obsessive chronically has revealed over 140 miles in the last month! Crazy (clinically so, you might even say). So for my chronicle, I broke down a 24-hour period into steps and miles, over six panels: Getting ready; Morning commute; Work day; Evening commute; Hobbies & fun; and Bed.
Once I had lived out my day and taken notes on all the various things I saw and did, I illustrated the panels with a representative image for each segment. In order to express a sense of connected ongoingness--and in a way that embodies the style of Warren Tales--I sewed these images into resized upcycled card with a single, 6 yard length of embroidery thread. Each image/panel is connected by this thread, as was my day by my steps.
The project used zero knots and, again, only 1 continuous piece of thread (with a length left at each end to symbolize the day before and after this one). The panels feature images of dressers/doors; an approaching train; a desk/computer; a crowded subway car; a pencil and paper (for my writing group that I participated in that night); and a bed.
By making small divots, rather than back stitching, it allowed a cleaner, more continuous line, and resulted in an almost braille-like raised pattern on the back of each card. And within this pattern I added some illustrated footsteps to help get the message across, along side the number of steps and the mileage up to that point in the day: Getting ready 381 steps, 0.18 miles; Morning commute 1273st, 0.62mi; Work day 4430st, 2.16mi; Evening commute 5454st, 2.64mi; Hobbies & fun 13015st, 6.36mi; and Bed 13100st, 6.4mi.
Thank you Art House, see you again this Fall for the 2013 Sketchbook Project! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T10:00:51Z', 'url': 'http://warrentales.blogspot.com/2012/05/ped-antic-at-art-house-co-op.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
I definitely agree..Its always a flag on every big play...either holding or pass interference.
Pats are 2-0 under tb & bb when they wear white in the sb. Pats ftw and brady is goat. Goodluck everyone.
Rodgers is on fire especially as a dog..I see packers +3.5.
They say the house always wins. I mean yes your still gonna lose like everyone but isnt the goal to win with vegas longterm? When i see a team getting strong action isnt it best to go against the crowd. Isnt that what vegas wants? To me with NCAAF and NFL its not even about the teams anymore its about what are "so called linesmakers" tryna throw at me. Do I make sense?
Not surprised. It's time for cowboys to trade or release Romo..Imo he shoulda been gone years ago. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T08:21:43Z', 'url': 'https://www.covers.com/forum/Profile/452184/MakeSumCake', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
A decade after Honda launched into the motocross market with the Elsinore, it introduced the XLV 750. The XLV was what we know today as an “Adventure Bike” with road and off-road capabilities. The V-twin engine was also something new for Honda, especially in this configuration. Designed for moderate off-road excursions and explorations, it was ahead of the curve and unfortunately ahead of the consumer market, but like many collectible motorcycles, the desirability decades down the line is not measured in showroom success but rather in rarity, history and the “cool factor.” This bike has ticked all those boxes. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T14:05:08Z', 'url': 'http://local.mecum.com/lots/LV0119-347935/1983-honda-xlv-750/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

The following is a collection of my favorite podcasts, where I continue to educate myself. Some of my favorites are entrepreneurs or authors who do some promotion of their books or workshops, and many of them are just interesting shows in a “radio like” format.
Pivot with Jenny Blake: provides different ways of looking at careers, business and life. Jenny often talks about the intersection of spirituality and business, and I really appreciate her perspective on following intuition and paying attention to body and soul when it comes to our work, career and personal tracks. While Jenny is a decade younger than me, she has real wisdom when it comes to careers of the future and coaching.
Hidden Brain – helps curious people understand the world – and themselves. Using science and storytelling, Hidden Brain’s host Shankar Vedantam reveals the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior, the biases that shape our choices, and the triggers that direct the course of our relationships. If you are an NPR listener, you may have heard this on the radio as well.
Becoming Wise – This is a short-form podcast with short excerpts from interviews contained in the On Being podcast, which I also love. Becoming Wise is a short form podcast and I have to admit, I bought Krista Tippett’s book after listening to all 20 of these short form podcasts. It was lovely as well, but this is a great and insightful podcast series that may appeal to you if you are interested in spiritual growth and the spiritual in every day life.
Side Hustle School – this is a fun one about creative ideas that people try in order to make side income outside their regular job. Give it a try if you are creative and have considered supplementing your income with a hobby that you love.
Magic Lessons – this is a lovely podcast created by Elizabeth Gilbert, probably to sell her book. But it was really amazing in terms of giving me ideas for how to think about my creative endeavors. Liz is just the most endearing person and I really enjoyed the two season series – I may go back and listen to it again just because it got me inspired. I bought both her hard copy book and the Audible version because I love her voice so much.
The Life Coach School podcast – this is created by Brooke Castillo. I give her a lot of credit for helping me learn a few key concepts that have helped me lose weight, become more aware of my thoughts and feelings, give up drinking, and reduce my problems with over-eating. I have never actually attended any of her workshops, but I have learned so much from this free podcast that I am really grateful for it.
Super Soul Conversations, the podcast. Oprah Winfrey brings her Super Soul conversations to a format for those of us who do not watch t.v. I love her conversations especially with Eckhart Tolle, Brene Brown, Elizabeth Gilbert, Paul Coelho, Rob Bell, Jimmy Carter and many other fascinating individuals. Inspiring and soulful conversations.
Robcast with Rob Bell – This podcast is an amazing return to my spiritual roots but in an entirely new way. A friend of Liz Gilbert, Rob Bell’s approach to spirituality may just change your mind about the Bible and about faith in general. His authenticity and humanity are apparent and his guests often blow my mind. Even if you are not a fan of the Bible or Christian teachings, check this out. It really has transformed the way I think about my own spirituality.
Good Life Project with Jonathan Fields – This podcast explores all of the aspects of what it means to life a good life. I also enjoyed the book How to Life a Good Life – Soulful Stories, Surprising Science and Practical Wisdom, which I listed to on audio book because I enjoy Jonathan’s voice. The guests that he interviews are often wise and share various insights on how to live in a way that invites more vitality, creativity and joy into their lives. Many of his guests are entrepreneurs or creators in their fields and I really enjoy so many of the topics he covers. While they are not all applicable to my life, I have definitely found many to be beneficial.
Happier with Gretchen Rubin – This podcast is a dialogue between Gretchen Rubin and her sister, Elizabeth Craft. I enjoy hearing their suggestions for living a happier a life. I loved Gretchen’s book Better Than Before, and I pre-ordered The Four Tendencies and look forward to reading it, because I think she has tremendous insight on human nature and habit change.
I am not receiving any money to promote these podcasts. Occasionally when I link to books I include an Amazon or Audible link. But I am not “selling” anything here, just recommending content that I have enjoyed or teachers and authors I love and want to share with you, my dear readers.
Thank you for the list! Where should one start? | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T06:53:12Z', 'url': 'https://meximinnesotana.com/favorite-podcasts/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Peabody invited architects to submit proposals for one of three sites in London in order to put together a panel of architects to design its smaller housing schemes. BWA’s entry focused on a site in Archway. The scheme proposed a central courtyard flanked by two four-storey blocks. Along the spine of the building, outdoor rooms overlook the central courtyard. The scheme provides for a broad mixture of occupants, including young families and makes the best use of a tight site to create a scheme which is urban, but with a very generous communal garden, and private outdoor rooms overlooking the public space allowing for supervision of children. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T16:33:04Z', 'url': 'http://www.barbaraweissarchitects.com/news/2013/12/peabody-competition-small-projects-panel', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
In medicine, hyperpyrexia is an excessive and unusual elevation of set body temperature greater than or equal to 41.1° Celsius (106°F), or extremely high fever. Such a high temperature is considered a medical emergency. It differs from hyperthermia in that in hyperthermia the body temperature is too high above the set point, whereas in hyperpyrexia the body's temperature regulation mechanism sets the normal body temperature too high. It is very often fatal.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) can also cause hyperpyrexia after the administration of antipsychotic drugs. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T13:07:49Z', 'url': 'https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Hyperpyrexia', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
This page is about the CC2540 bluetooth low-energy sniffer dongle and getting it to work with Linux. A nice end result could be that it becomes possible to sniff directly in WireShark with this dongle.
I have such a "WeBee" dongle that can be found for about E15,- on websites like Aliexpress.
It's supposedly a CC2540 (or compatible) dongle, the USB id is 0451:16b3.
When plugging this stick into a Linux machine, you can see it uses only one bulk endpoint.
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0451:16b3 Texas Instruments, Inc.
You can recognise the 2540 type number in there.
I've captured a log of the communication over USB while the BLE is capturing bluetooth traffic from some iBeacon, using USB pcap.
In the logs, I cannot see any firmware blobs being downloaded to the stick. Probably the stick comes with a pre-loaded firmware of itself to do the BLE sniffing.
This appears to be done using USB control transfers.
0x40 0xC9 0 0 - ???
Request type 0x40 is a vendor-specific device request from host-to-device. Request type 0xC0 is a vendor-specific device request from device-to-host.
This appears to be done using USB bulk input transfers.
I can see a lot of similarities between the USB log and the BLE sniffer log.
Each frame starts with a byte indicating the type of frame, following by two bytes indicating the length of the rest of the frame (encoded as little endian).
The bulk USB data starts off with two bytes indicating the length of the rest of the data.
It connects to the dongle and dumps raw USB packets to stdout.

Gambling is a popular form of entertainment which attracts around 80 per cent of Australians every year. The overwhelming majority of people bet for fun and bet sensibly. They see gambling as an enjoyable recreational activity. But, like anything else, gambling carries a risk when it is abused.
Fox Hills Golf Club is committed to responsible gaming. We don’t want to see anyone lose more than they can afford. So we urge all patrons to bet carefully. Set yourself a limit and stick to that limit. Never borrow money to gamble. Fox Hills Golf Club urges you to stick to these basic rules and gambling will remain an enjoyable activity.
Studies show that around 98 per cent of people have no problem controlling their gambling. However for some people gambling becomes a problem. They spend more money and time than they can really afford on gambling. They become preoccupied with gambling which becomes increasingly hard to control. This can lead to financial and emotional distress which can affect marriages, relationships, work and health. This is when assistance is needed. Fox Hills Golf Club has a program in place to help people with gambling problems. It is crucial, however, that you recognise the danger signs.

I’ve become a killer. This will surprise, even shock, my friends, who think of me as a reasonably calm, peace-loving character, but it’s true. And I kill morning, noon, and night, though especially at night, when my victims are most plentiful. I kill, and without a qualm, without even a hint of a flicker of conscience. Not exactly with joy, but at least with a grim satisfaction. And without mercy.
What do I kill? Bugs. “What kind of bugs?” you ask. I don’t know, just bugs. Smaller than American cockroaches, some bigger than ants, some smaller, even minuscule. Different kinds, though I can’t differentiate them, just call them bugs. But maybe they are German cockroaches (Blatella germanica), smaller than other species of roaches, though I haven’t heard them speaking German.
German cockroaches. But they're really much smaller than this.
This is the way I like to see them.
But I don't use K300.
Why do I kill them? Because they’re everywhere, defy gravity by crawling up walls and on the ceiling of my apartment, won’t let me alone, and don’t pay rent. In the bathroom in the morning they’re crawling over my toothbrush or hiding under the soap. In the medicine cabinet I find their egg cases in the pill boxes and bandage wrappings, and their unholy droppings on everything. As I breakfast in the kitchen, they try to feast on crumbs from my bread or a stray bit of banana, till I chase them away and they disappear under the table’s surface, where I can’t pursue them. And as I continue to breakfast, they come back again, try to sneak another tiny bite. Finally, as the day wears on, they disappear into their hidden sanctuaries: any crack or crevice in the walls of my ancient apartment, any bit of clutter, any remote corner of a shelf, any cluster of bottles, any pile of newspapers, any heap of plastic bags, and above all the dark infernal recesses of my ancient stove’s ancient oven.
“Doesn’t an exterminator come once a month?” you may ask. Of course. His spraying here and there may result in a few small corpses in a day or two, but so what? They are legion, and they proliferate. The exterminator leaves a stack of glue traps that I dispose of at strategic points in the kitchen, and within days the traps reap harvests of stuck wigglies waving their antennae frantically. Their death throes seem to entice more to join them, till the traps are so full there’s hardly any room for more. On one 5-by-8-inch trap by the kitchen garbage can I’ve counted some 400 bugs in all, most of them tiny, some 50 of them bigger. But so what? They persist, they abound. Through sheer numbers, I’m told, the insects will inherit the earth. If they haven’t already.
And so, in self-defense, I’ve become a cunning and ruthless slaughterer, determined that these marauders shall, in great numbers, die. When at night, heeding the bladder imperative, I traipse to the bathroom and suddenly turn the light on, I have my trusty slammer handy – an empty pill bottle with a flat-topped cap – and bam bam bam I massacre as many as I can, as they flee in all directions. They have the best chance of escaping if I catch them on a wall, for my slammer is less effective against a vertical surface. On the wash basin I usually bam bam bam get several as the others scurry to safety, but if I find some in the bathtub, they are doomed, for their dark little bodies stand out sharp against the white enamel, they have a long distance to go before reaching safety, and I am determined that they shall die the death. And they do. And if I then go into the kitchen, their favorite feeding ground at night, and turn the light on, I convulse their midnight revels in the sink, as bam bam bam bam bam I wield my kitchen slammer, my Excalibur, and perpetrate a massacre of dozens, scores. Some escape, many don’t.
My Excalibur. Minus the vitamin B's, of course.
Do I enjoy these massacres? Yes and no. My actions are strictly in self-defense, so I don’t consider myself a born warrior or sadist; when I mash them, their death is instantaneous, no writhing, no pain. I don’t feel joy, but I do feel the aforementioned grim satisfaction, and if they annoy me enough, at least a momentary flash of anger. And a sense of power, since I loom large over them like Yahweh smiting the Midianites. And even, if they get on me (as they occasionally do), a touch of loathing and hate. But if, as they flee when I turn the light on, some of them run onto a glue trap cunningly positioned by me and get stuck there, or if, in the morning, I find a cluster of them – anywhere from five to twenty -- in an empty yogurt container in the garbage, and I spray them and kill every last one of the wee beasties, then, I confess, my grim satisfaction extends to the outskirts of joy.
Mostly, it’s a game, and I’ve gotten fairly good at it, know where to place the glue traps and where to put my slammers – one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen – so they’re immediately available when the light goes on. I always clear the kitchen table, so as to have a wide and unobstructed killing field, and if I find the creepy-crawlies in the toilet bowl – and I often do – I feel a kind of glee when I flush them away to oblivion. And glee again when I find an empty egg case and some forty tiny creatures stuck fast in a trap. And if I leave a coffee mug half full of water in the kitchen, in the morning I’m bound to find one, two, three, up to five winged corpses floating in the water. (Yes, some have wings, though they never fly.) Do I pity my victims, drowned or mashed? Hardly. For me, they aren’t capable of true feelings. So what are they? Bundles of instincts, tiny machines. As for Blake’s wonderful line, “For everything that lives is holy,” I dismiss it as a beautiful lie. Poets are notorious liars.
There was indeed a killer in my family, but it wasn’t me; it was my father. But to be fair, I should say a hunter and fisherman, for he loved the outdoors and loved to hunt and fish. Fishing usually meant long hours on a quiet lake in northern Illinois or Wisconsin, sitting quietly in the sun, waiting, waiting, waiting. Forced to accompany him, I was totally, utterly bored. Did I ever catch anything? Once, as I recall, some small, flat finned thing that didn’t look like much, but I suppose we had to cook it and eat it. But when my father, on his annual fall vacation, went to a lake in northern Wisconsin for two weeks, he caught plenty and shipped them back in ice.
As for hunting, when I was sixteen he taught me to shoot a shotgun. I didn’t like it, for the recoil made my shoulder ache, but I did learn a thing or two about guns. He took good care of his guns and used them carefully, always carrying them with the barrel toward the ground, except when about to shoot. From fall through spring he took me and my older brother to his gun club, where sportsmen assembled to sip coffee, swap hunting stories, and shoot trap, aiming at clay pigeons flung from either of two trap houses. When they hit a pigeon dead on, it vanished in a puff of dust, and discreet congratulations were extended. It was a man’s world, with one exception: the wife of a sportsman who was just as into shooting as her husband; my father, always quick with nicknames, called her “Pistol-Packin’ Momma” and, like all the men, accepted her completely. My mother, if she went along for the ride, never set foot in the clubhouse, preferring to remain in the car with a good book.
Not my father, but the exact same look.
A luna moth. Too eerily beautiful to kill.
On my many hikes in parks and woodlands, I never killed an insect, with the exception of a stray mosquito, and then in self-defense. I loved watching butterflies, and once stared in awe at the haunting beauty of a luna moth sleeping on a tree trunk, but I never tried to catch, much less kill, any of them. And if I saw a nectar-seeking honey bee struggling to free itself from the sticky pollen of the milkweed, I would take a twig and gently free it so it could fly away. But there was one exception: if, in the late spring, I saw the white (often dirty white) tent of the tent caterpillar in the branches of a tree, I would knock it to the ground with a stick and then trample the teeming, writhing mass of tiny caterpillars inside it, so they couldn’t defoliate the nearby trees. Something about that writhing mass of living things alienated, even disgusted, me – a feeling that I have rarely felt in nature. Perhaps I should have let nature take its way, but I love trees and hate to see their leaves consumed by that horde of tiny mouths.
They make me want to kill.
Let nature take its way: there is mystery in that process, and death. Once, toward dusk on Monhegan Island in Maine, I was watching a flock of migrating sparrows feeding on birdseed that Bob and I had scattered on the lawn outside our cabin window, when out of nowhere a sparrow hawk swooped down to seize one of them as the others fled. In the dim, fading light I could barely see the hawk – really a small falcon, the kestrel – spread its tail to steady itself on the ground, as it consumed its prey. It was unsettling, mysterious, awe-inspiring.
And when I read about how a rattlesnake sinks its venomous fangs into a startled squirrel, waits patiently as the squirrel scurries off, each bound pumping the venom deeper till the squirrel droops, drops, and the snake follows at leisure and slowly consumes its prey head first, I get that same feeling of horror mixed with mystery and awe. Killing is a part of nature’s way, common and necessary in the processes of life. But is it necessary among humans as well?
Here I will bring us back to New York, to the draft riots of July 1863, during our Civil War, when, even as a great battle raged at Gettysburg, Irish workers in the city rose up against the newly initiated draft, destroyed the building where the draft was being processed, looted and burned every other building they associated with the draft, held off the outnumbered police, and lynched every black man they could get hold of, blaming blacks for the draft and the war. Some of their victims were hanged over a fire, around which the Irish women, by all accounts more savage than the men, danced in a frenzy. The rioters were not drifters and the homeless, but men with steady jobs who deserted their workplace and for three days, joined by their women, raged in the streets. What drove them to this?
No women here, but they were usually present. A Harper's Weekly print.
That they resented the draft is understandable. They had come over here to escape famine in Ireland, and to get free of centuries of English rule. Deep in their psyche was a hatred of authority, of government, of being forced to do the will of others, and this hatred transferred to the American government when, desperate to crush the rebellious South, it initiated the draft. And the cry “A rich man’s war, a poor man’s fight” had resonance, since the affluent, by paying $300 for a substitute, could quite legally avoid the draft, whereas the rioters didn’t have $300. One also has to suppose a deep-seated racism that suddenly, under these exceptional circumstances, flared forth. There were a few white victims too: policemen, soldiers, anyone who interfered with the rioters, anyone who looked like a “three-hundred-dollar man.” Yet when, after three days of riots, the military arrived to restore order, the rioters went back to their jobs and resumed their role of quiet, steady workers.
Is there a killer buried deep in all of us, or do only a few of us nurse this hidden urge? My pen pal Joe, while doing time in North Carolina, wrote a series of vignettes about prison life, including an unforgettable one entitled “Killer Friends.” In the vignette he explains that, when doing time, you never ask another inmate what he’s in for; to do so is to court danger. But sometimes an inmate chooses to tell another inmate, and so it was that Joe heard the stories of several convicted murderers. One of the stories especially impressed me.
A young inmate told Joe how, at age fifteen, he had asked his parents for a motorcycle for Christmas, and they said they would see what they could do. But when Christmas came, his parents explained that, regretfully, they hadn’t been able to afford it. Instantly consumed with rage, the young man went to his room, got out his shotgun, loaded it, came back to the living room, and killed both his parents as they were sitting on the couch. Then, panicking, he grabbed all the money in the house and rushed to the garage to get into the family car and flee. And there, in the garage, he found a shiny new motorcycle; his parents had wanted to surprise him. He is serving two life terms.
What made this young guy tick? I don’t know if he had a history of violence, but quite possibly he did not. I can understand his disappointment, maybe even his rage, but I can’t understand a rage that precipitates murder. Between me and him a vast chasm opens up.
Another of Joe’s stories is about a man who killed his wife in a drunken rage, when she announced she was getting a divorce. He then put her body in his car, drove to some nearby woods, and buried her there. But two weeks later the state police came knocking on his door to report that a bear had dug up her body and devoured some of it; could he explain how she came to be buried there? He then confessed and got a life sentence.
In these accounts of murder two common denominators emerge: the murderers had trouble controlling anger and, closely related, they yielded to impulse. In both of them there was an appalling lack of judgment, an inability to think of consequences.
Have I ever experienced violent rage? Just once, years ago, when a waiter in a crowded West Village gay bar harassed me, telling me not to stand here or there, not to move around the bar – harassment so intense that I finally just handed him my half-finished beer and walked out. Why he chose to bother me I have never fathomed; there was no history of antagonism between us, and I was behaving no differently from any other patron of the bar. But I felt intense anger and stalked the streets for some time nursing it, hoping to meet a friend to whom I could pour out my story and, in so doing, temper my rage. Alas, no friend showed up, so in the end I just went home.
This is a trivial story, but it demonstrates that, when consumed by rage, I never contemplated any act of violence, wanted only to get rid of my rage. I could have, at some cost, splashed my beer in the waiter’s face, or poured it on the floor, or dropped the bottle hoping it would smash, but none of these acts occurred to me. Deep in me there was some kind of safety valve, some instinct of self-preservation that was stronger than any impulse to retaliate. This safety valve, I assume, is deep in most of us, but absent or ineffective in a few. We all feel anger at some point, often justifiably, but we don’t all resort to violence or kill.
I have seen the face of rage. Once, long ago, when I was having lunch in a crowded student restaurant in Lyons, France, we all suddenly heard a great clatter at another table. Instantly a burly kitchen worker rushed over to the table where the disturbance was, and found two students in a confrontation. One yelled feverishly, “He can’t take a joke!” The other said nothing, just glared, his features contorted with rage. Fortunately, the burly man calmed things down, and we all were able to resume our lunch. But I’ve never forgotten the look of the angry student, his reddened features warped with rage – rage on the verge of violence. If the burly worker hadn’t intervened, who knows what might have happened? Rage is ugly, it distorts. No wonder it’s one of the seven deadly sins.
soldiers massacring or torturing all they encounter.
Are killers born or made? Is murder deep in our bone and blood, or is it a product of social forces acting upon us? Some of us are born hunters like my father, and I would add that there are born writers, artists, dancers, gamblers, rebels, healers, scholars, and reformers. From an early age I was writing – nonsense of course, but writing – so I’m convinced that I was born a writer, and circumstances then facilitated the urge. So are some of us born killers, or at least born destined to commit an act of violence? We don’t want to think so, but at times we’re inclined to assume it. “Leave it to the experts,” you might say; leave it to the sociologists, psychologists, criminologists. But at times we uninformed citizens are forced to have an opinion. When on jury duty, for instance, and hearing a case involving murder. Or as a voter, when called to vote on issues relating to the death penalty.
Once, when doing background research for a novel, I read some books on violent crimes and those who commit them, and was so shocked by some of the serial murderers described, and their early and total commitment to killing, that I ruefully concluded that some of us probably are born killers, or at least predestined to violence. And when, on another occasion, I saw Matthew Brady’s photographs of John Wilkes Booth’s coconspirators, who were tried and hanged following President Lincoln’s assassination, the photo of one of them, Lewis Powell, who had attacked but failed to kill Secretary of State William Seward, struck me; in his hardened features I discerned a killer. Of all Booth’s fellow conspirators, he was the only one who, following Booth’s instructions, made a serious attempt to kill a member of the government.
Lewis Powell, after his arrest. Not the Brady photograph, but the same hard look.
Some see police violence – especially against minorities – as the actions of a few bad apples, while others insists that it results from an endemic police culture that countenances such violence and is never held accountable. Once again the question arises: is there an urge to violence, even murder, deep in all of us that circumstances at times activate? And is my satisfaction in killing bugs in my apartment -- trivial as it may seem – a faint echo of that urge? One common denominator emerges: the victims are the Other, some living phenomenon from which the assailant or killer feels completely alienated.
The death penalty is an issue where I flip and I flop. Most of my friends in New York, good liberals, are against it, don’t even think it bears discussion. But me, I waver. Granted, it’s administered unfairly and can be opposed on those grounds alone. And granted, those who are convicted may be innocent, and imprisonment leaves open the possibility of exoneration later. But if, as can happen, there is no doubt about guilt, is the frequent alternative of a lifetime in prison without the possibility of parole – and some or all of it in solitary – really more merciful? I wonder. On the other hand, pictures of an execution can chill me to the quick.
The electric chair at Sing Sing, ca. 1900. As so often, whites executing a black.
From time to time I hear of a crime so heinous that I’m inclined to justify a penalty of death. When, last May, four Afghan men were sentenced to death for the mob killing of a woman falsely accused of burning a Koran, the circumstances of the woman’s death were so horrible that I, like many, applauded the sentence. The 27-year-old victim, Farkhunda, was thrown from a roof, beaten to death, and run over by a car, following which the mob set fire to her body and dumped it in a river. And when, two months later, a court overturned the death sentence of the four men, I shared in the worldwide indignation.
This is how the French Revolution did it.
Truman Capote was criticized by some for not doing more to prevent the execution of two young men whom he had interviewed and befriended, and whose story of murdering a family of four in Kansas he had told with great sensitivity in his work of nonfiction In Cold Blood, published in 1966. There was no doubt about the two men’s guilt, and they told Capote how, while hitchhiking after the crime, they were picked up by a lone driver and contemplated killing him and stealing his car. But when the driver also picked up a teen-age hitchhiker, they abandoned their plan, since now they would have to kill two. Reading this, I decided they indeed deserved to die, not just because of the murders they had committed, but because they had been ready to commit another murder as well.
One argument against the death penalty that I take seriously is the belief that life is a precious gift that the state has no right to take. But those who present this argument are often advocates of free choice, meaning the right of women to have an abortion, which, no matter how you look at it, is a canceling of human life. And conversely, many who support the death penalty are often right-to-lifers, fanatically opposed to abortion. Granted, the unborn fetus has committed no crime, whereas those condemned to death presumably have. Still, a life is a life. I find these inconsistencies troubling.
Only those who have experienced and acknowledged this kind of wonder can reach me with arguments pro or con on matters of human life like abortion and the death penalty. Only to them will I listen; the others are just mouthing their biases.
The mysteriousness of nature: a night sky.
So where do I finally end up? Somewhere betwixt and between, which many will label as wishy-washy. I’m occasionally for the death penalty, which can impart a fearful significance, and almost even a dignity, to death, yet I have grave reservations about it. I’m troubled by abortion, because it involves taking a life, but wouldn’t want it banned, since that would force women into seeking back-alley abortions, with all the risks involved. Issues involving human life are complex and controversial, not easily resolved. Are killers born or made? Perhaps, deep in our psyche, there is a core of mystery that may never be penetrated. Why in our ordinary daily lives most of us, whatever the provocation, do not kill, while a few of us do, seems to defy rational explanation. Theories abound, but aren’t they simply that: theories? I’m leery of those – and they are many – who think these matters simple; I cannot. I join Einstein in marveling at the mysteriousness of life, and in acknowledging that some things are, for us, impenetrable. We must cope as best we can, and humbly, with our dull faculties.
Note on Goldman Sachs: Speaking of killing, Goldman Sachs is a whiz of a bank that in the past has made many a killing in financial markets, as discussed in post #158, “Goldman Sachs: Vampire Squid or Martyred Innocent?” (December 22, 2014). The squid or innocent (as you prefer) has just reported disappointing earnings for the second quarter of 2015, raking in a mere $1 billion, as compared with $2 billion a year ago. The big hit on earnings? $1.45 billion that it set aside for “mortgage-related litigation and regulatory matters.” The bank is in the final stages of reaching a deal with the Justice Department over its sale of mortgage-backed securities before the financial convulsion of a few years ago – a matter too complex for ordinary folk like you (I presume) and me to understand, but one that evidently involved consummate naughtiness. But Goldman will survive and flourish; it always has. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T12:46:06Z', 'url': 'http://cbrowder.blogspot.com/2015/07/189-need-to-kill.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
TEXAS–Claims by federal agents that the news media negligently caused the injury or death of several ATF agents at the 1993 Branch Davidian siege must go to trial, a federal District Court judge in Waco, Texas, ruled in early April.
He criticized KWTX-TV cameraman James Peeler for inadvertently alerting a Branch Davidian to the possibility of an imminent raid, as well as reporters from both the newspaper and TV station who drove up and down and parked on the rural road on the morning of the raid in view of the compound.
Smith also found that the media organizations may have committed “serious professional errors” by failing to establish guidelines for their staff to prevent them from “undermining” the covert federal operation.
The media organizations argued that the ATF commanders were responsible for the tragedy because they did not cancel the raid after they were warned that cult leader David Koresh was aware of it. They also argued that any claims against them are barred because of their First Amendment right to gather and report the news.
The ATF officials learned that Koresh knew about the raid through an undercover agent who was visiting Koresh inside the compound. But when the agent reported that he had seen no sign of preparation for defending against a government attack, the ATF decided to proceed with their plans.
Four ATF agents died and more than 20 were injured in a firefight during the February 1993 raid of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco. Six sect members were also killed in the initial confrontation, and more than 80 members, including Koresh, died 51 days later in a fire while federal agents discharged tear gas into the compound. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T20:38:50Z', 'url': 'https://www.rcfp.org/atf-agents-suit-over-media-negligence-waco-will-go-trial/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

If you’re advertising on Google you’re probably trying to increase conversions, improve your brand’s visibility, or both.
But what keywords should you target?
Which ones will help achieve your goal?
If you’re already running campaigns, you’re in a good position to make decisions about your existing keywords, but what about keywords you haven’t been targeting?
This is where understanding a user’s search intent can help inform the keywords you select for your campaigns.
Understanding intent can help in other ways too. You’ll be able to tweak your landing pages and copy to align with what people are searching for and what they expect to see (and read) when they land on your website.
You can classify keywords into navigation keywords, research keywords and conversion keywords. These align with the different steps in your conversion funnel, from awareness right through to retention.
These keywords are used by people to get somewhere – they know what they want and they just need to get there. Navigation keywords are typically brand terms, including company and product names.
For example, someone searching for gmail wanting to navigate to Google’s email service. They know what they want, but they don’t know how to get there directly. They’re using the keyword to navigate.
Navigation keywords can also be used as a way to refine search results, for example, someone searching for bike gear site:wired.com wanting to navigate to relevant pages on Wired’s website.
Sometimes you’ll be able to easily identify keywords used for research and sometimes it requires us to assume what someone wants. If we compare someone searching for digital camera reviews to someone searching for camera. There’s likely to be a huge difference in their intent. We can see that the first person is researching. They have a topic they’re interested in and they’re researching. However, the generic keyword of camera is trickier since someone could be searching for a wide range of reasons.
People researching are going to be higher up in your conversion funnel. Since the person searching for digital camera reviews is less likely to convert than someone searching for buy sony rx100 v who is ready to purchase a particular camera model.
Keywords searched by people who are ready to convert are some of the most competitive terms you can target in your campaigns because they indicate that someone is ready to purchase or convert. They know exactly what they want.
We’ve already seen the example of buy sony rx100 v, so we know that seeing buy in the keyword tells us it’s a conversion keyword. However these types of keywords aren’t limited to purchasing products. We can also look for keywords that include book (like book a flight to mexico) and coupon (like gym membership coupon). Both of these people are ready to convert for these services.
Hybrid keywords fall into multiple categories, so it’s hard to pinpoint intent. For example, real estate agent toronto could be a research keyword or a conversion keyword.
If you’re trying to focus on driving traffic to the bottom of your conversion funnel to increase your conversions, then it might be hard to avoid hybrid keywords. In this case, you’ll need to monitor your campaign and be on the look out for negative keywords. You can do this by regularly reviewing the search queries report inside Google AdWords. This report shows you the actual terms people are searching for when they see and click on your ads.
The devices people use when they’re searching for your products or services will impact on the keywords they use.
Google says that people using mobile devices “may search for shorter phrases or more brand terms”. This means that someone might have the intent to convert, but since they’re using a mobile device they use a keyword that can be mistaken for a research keyword.
For example, someone might search for book a flight to mexico on their desktop while on a mobile device they might simply search for mexico flights. The good news is that we can use the Forecasting tool inside the Google Keyword Planner to understand performance on different devices.
This is also the case for voice search. Google has said that 20% of their mobile searches use voice search and Bing has reported 25%.
This means we can also expect people searching for shorter phrases if they’re using voice search.
Since we can’t segment our keyword data for voice search will need to do our best to use insights from mobile to understand user intent.
Keyword research is the foundation of starting new campaigns. As you begin building your keyword lists you should be classifying the keywords and deciding which ones match the objectives of your campaign. You should focus on keywords to suit your desired user intent.
You can use the Google AdWords Keyword Planner, Google Search Console and even tools like Bing Webmaster Tools and SEMrush (affiliate link) to identify potential keywords you want to target.
If you’ve run campaigns that include keywords that relate to your new campaign, then you can also use your historical data to find additional keywords to target (and negative keywords).
Apart from keyword research, there are other ways to understand user intent. These include using analytics reports and collecting qualitative feedback on your website.
It’s always a good idea to jump into Google Analytics to help understand how people engage on your website.
Google Analytics won’t provide exact details about your audience’s intent since it’s providing you with quantitative data. It’s telling you the what and the how, but not the why. However, you’ll still be able to find insights into user intent.
You can use the Behavior Flow report to see where people travel to from particular landing pages on your website.
If people travel from your landing page to your shopping cart, contact page or other conversion pages, then these users fall into your conversion category. While people traveling to other content pages, blog posts or product pages are more likely to be researching.
If people land and then perform a search within your website, then you can use the Site Search reports to understand what they’re trying to find.
In this case, you can review the keywords and see if they fall into the navigation, research or conversion categories.
Heat maps can be useful for understanding user intent. You can install Crazy Egg, Hotjar or Yandex Metrica on your website and you’ll be able to create heat map reports.
You can use these reports to see where people click within your pages. Depending on where people click, you can begin to understand what they’re looking for on your website. People who are still researching or comparing options will travel to other pages on your website, while people ready to convert will take more direct navigation paths.
Tools like Yandex Metrica and Hotjar provide user recordings which allow you replay how individual users have navigated through your website.
You can use these reports to understand intent by looking for content that people spend more time viewing and where they navigate to on your website.
To understand search intent, you should focus on user recordings for people who have found your website after performing a search.
You can complement your quantitative data from Google Analytics and other tools with qualitative research from user surveys.
You can use Google Surveys and Hotjar to ask your audience about their experience, what they’re looking for and pain points they’ve encountered.
The survey responses allow you to hear directly from your audience and can be used to understand their intent.
You’re on your way to understanding user intent.
By classifying keywords as navigation, research and conversion you’ll be able to target the keywords that align with your objectives. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T06:20:53Z', 'url': 'https://www.lovesdata.com/blog/search-intent', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
There is a lot of controversy surrounding Vitamin B17 and cancer. You may have seen websites or books proclaiming the wonders of vitamin B17 and how it can cure or prevent cancer. But before getting into the details it’s important to understand the history of vitamins in general. It all started in Southeast Asia, during the 1800’s, when many people were dying from a mysterious and horrible disease called Beriberi. It involved nerve damage and heart issues, and people were dying in painful ways. But Beriberi didn’t become a problem until we had the invention of better rice milling technology. The technology removed the rice husk and left behind the white rice that we still eat today. There was an outburst of this horrible disease in cultures where white rice was the staple in the diet.
People didn’t understand why this was happening and we were just discovering germs and infections that were causing disease. No one was looking at what was missing from the diet because we didn’t know that could be a factor. Eventually, a doctor named Christiaan Eijkman realized that brown rice had the “anti-beriberi factor”. He later discovered that white rice was missing something and it was causing Beriberi. Today this missing substance is known as Vitamin B1 or thiamine.
It wasn’t until the early 1900’s that many vitamin chemical structures were even identified in a lab. A Polish biochemist name Casimir Funk wanted to give these mysterious substances a name. He choose the Latin word for life, which is vita, and then he choose the word amin or amine, which is the chemical structure that he thought all of these substances were going to share. And then he combined the two words together to form vitamine, which we now know as vitamin.
You may have wondered why vitamins are named with what seem like random letters and numbers. For example, there are eight B vitamins in total (vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) but there isn’t a vitamin B4, B8, B10, or B11. During the naming process there were substances labeled as vitamins, only later to find they were not, so those names were taken out. You may also notice that vitamin B17 is not listed here as a vitamin.
So what exactly is a vitamin?
Merriam Webster defines it as any various organic substances that are essential in minute quantities to the nutrition of most animals and some plants and are present in natural foodstuffs or sometimes produced within the body.
According to the Committee on Nomenclature of the American Institute of Nutrition Vitamins, vitamin B17 is not a vitamin because it doesn’t fit the scientific definition of a vitamin in that it is not essential for reaching or sustaining good health. So if vitamin B17 doesn’t meet the definition of a vitamin, then what is it? Its common name is amygdalin, which is a chemical compound found in some foods. It’s present naturally in the pits or seeds of stone fruits such as apricots, apples, peaches, plums, or in bitter almonds. The kernels are removed from the fruit, cracked open, and then dried in the sun or in ovens. The kernels are then boiled in ethanol and the amygdalin is precipitated in minute white crystals.
So where did the use of amygdalin begin?
Amygdalin was initially isolated from bitter almonds in the 1830’s by French chemists and shortly thereafter, a Russian doctor first used amygdalin as a cancer treatment in 1845. The first case treated reportedly had a positive outcome. But it wasn’t until the 1920’s that the first recorded use of it was in the United States. A California physician named Ernst T. Krebs Sr. He started using the substance in pill form to treat his cancer patients—but the substance was found to be too toxic and was quickly abandoned.
In 1949, Ernst T. Krebs Sr. and his son Ernst T. Krebs Jr., started working closely together. Krebs Jr. is often referred to as “Dr.” Krebs, but he does not hold a doctoral degree from an accredited university. In 1973 after giving a one hour lecture on laetrile, he obtained a “Doctor of Science” degree from a religious college with no science department and the university lacked the authority to grant any doctoral degrees. Initially Krebs Jr. attended medical school and was expelled after repeating his freshman year and failing his sophomore year. He took courses at 5 different colleges and always had low or failing grades in his science courses, until he finally received a Bachelor’s of Arts degree from the University of IL.
Together the Krebs’ eventually created a semi-synthetic version of amygdalin, that was less toxic, and named this final product laetrile. During this process, there were several versions of laetrile developed and published however. Then finally IV laetrile was born and patented in 1961.
As a result of technology advancement, vitamin B17 can now be delivered by IV injection, tablets, and it is also an ingredient in “anti-cancer enemas” and skin creams. Laetrile cancer treatments can include a specified diet, high doses of vitamins, and weeks of injections followed by maintenance pills. The usual preferred commercial source is from apricot kernels however.
Krebs Jr. claimed that cancer tissues are rich in an enzyme that causes amygdalin to release cyanide, which destroys cancer cells. According to this theory, noncancerous tissues are protected from this by another enzyme which renders the cyanide harmless.
However, amygdalin and laetrile are both digested in the duodenum (part of the small intestine) and forms hydrogen cyanide, and in sufficient quantities causes cyanide poisoning. After being on the market some people were suffered from cyanide toxicity when ingested by mouth. Cyanide poisoning can cause your blood pressure to drop very low, damage your liver, and may result in a coma. In the worst case scenario high doses of 50-60 apricot kernels or 50 grams of laetrile can kill you. Symptoms include dizziness, queasiness, vomiting, headache, blue skin, a droopy upper eyelid, trouble walking, confusion, fever, can cause a lack of oxygen to the body tissues, and nerve damage.
The European Food Safety Agency Panel on Contaminants report that if consumers follow the recommendations on websites promoting consumption of apricot kernels, their exposure to cyanide will greatly exceed the dose expected to be toxic. The panel also reports that acute cyanide toxicity has occurred in adults who consumed 20 or more kernels and 5 or more in kids.
After discovering laetrile’s toxic effects, it led to a number of deaths and the Food Drug Administration (FDA) and American Medical Association cracked down in the 1970’s as a result. A laetrile movement began and got a huge lift when a medical writer Dr. Ralph Moss, at Sloan Kettering Hospital, publicly alleged a coverup and “leaked data” that claimed laetrile had potential as an anti-cancer treatment. This led to big media sensation—despite the fact that no scientist could reproduce these claims in a series of studies. It’s also important to note that Dr. Moss actually has a Ph.D in classics (not science or medicine) and is now one of the leading advocates for laetrile, along with snake oil salesman, Dr. Joseph Mercola.
In response to pressure from pro-laetrile groups during the 1970’s, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) conducted a retrospective review, published in 1978 of people who had been treated with laetrile for their cancer. They did this by obtaining information via mail from 385,000 physicians and 70,000 other health professionals known to treat patients with laetrile, as well as by getting information directly from members of pro-laetrile groups. Of all the cases only 6 could be described as “producing a response”.
After this research was conducted, a US senator concluded that laetrile leaders were “slick salesmen who would offer a false sense of hope to cancer patients.” Then the FDA sanctioned against the sale, use, and transportation into the US of products labeled as laetrile or amygdalin. The US Department of Agriculture prohibited the shipment of these products in 1977.
The laetrile promoters portrayed themselves as “the little guys struggling against the big government” and supporters claimed that the Food and Drug Administration, American Medical Association, National Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society, major oil companies, and drug companies all had conspired against laetrile. This escalated the demand and increased prices on the black market. The view of a government coverup also created media sensation, and it has left a mark that still resonates today.
Both of the Krebs’ then promoted and rebranded laetrile with the misnomer “vitamin B17” as a result of enforcement agencies banning it as a drug. The Krebs’ claimed it was a vitamin to have it classified as a nutrition supplement (rather than as a pharmaceutical drug) in order to be subjected to less regulations. Krebs Jr. also theorized that cancer was caused by a deficiency in “vitamin B17” and now many proponents claim that it not only cures cancer, but it can also prevent cancer.
What does the rest of the scientific research find?
Overall animal and lab studies of amygdalin have mixed results. Several found no benefit, while others suggest the chemical had a slight effect on certain kinds of cancer cells. One animal study claimed that amygdalin slowed the growth of cancer in animals and helped stop tumors from spreading to the lungs. But repeated studies could not show similar results.
In 1977 a controlled, blinded trial, laetrile showed no more activity than placebo. Subsequently, laetrile was tested on 14 tumor types without evidence of effectiveness. In one study only looking at 6 people to test what levels of laetrile were safe, 2 people developed symptoms of cyanide poisoning because they ate raw almonds while taking amygdalin. A second study in 1982, looked at whether laetrile could shrink cancer in 178 people and only 1 person had any apparent response to laetrile. However, within 7 months, all cancers had continued to grow. But as time progressed the results were clear cut—not one person was cured or even stabilized their cancer. The median survival rate for laetrile was 4.8 months from the start of therapy and in those still alive after 7 months, the tumor sizes had increased. This was the expected result for patients receiving no treatment at all. In addition, several patients experienced symptoms of cyanide toxicity or had blood levels of cyanide approaching the lethal range.
The National Cancer Institute has reviewed the use of laetrile for cancer in people on their website. They sponsored 2 published studies in the late 1970’s and early 80’s. Some scientists have tested laetrile in more than 20 animal tumor modes, as well as in humans, and found no benefits either alone or together with other substances.
More recently, in 2015, the Cochrane Library published a systematic review. It found that the claimed benefits of laetrile are not supported by controlled clinical trials. It also found a risk of serious side effects from cyanide poisoning. The authors from this study conclude that on ethical and scientific grounds, that no further clinical research on this topic should be conducted.
There is no evidence to support that vitamin B17 acts like a vitamin in your body or that you actually need any form of it. Despite that these dangerous claims still make their way onto the internets most popular “natural health blogs” and continue to fuel conspiracies. This has resulted in many providing personal testimonials of those who were cured of their cancer or citing studies that are not significant for human outcomes. For example, the weight of all this evidence has not deterred earlier mentioned natural health evangelists like Dr. Joseph Mercola. In 2014 he posted at least 5 studies which he says demonstrates effectiveness of laetrile and he even has a petition on his website for Sloan Kettering to acknowledge the positive results about laetrile from the 1970’s. None of these studies were based on human trials or data generated by the compounds of actual clinical use—they were either cell lines or studies based on lab animals. This doesn’t always translate the same results in humans as demonstrated in the large scale clinical trials, retrospective reviews, and meta-reviews mentioned above. But one of the most prominent force keeping the vitamin B17 myth alive is the book “World without cancer. The story of vitamin B17.” This book was positively reviewed by Ernst Krebs Jr. himself and by an activist without any medical training.
Today few sources of laetrile are available within the US and it’s still used in some Mexican clinics where it’s marketed as amygdalin or “vitamin B17”. Preparations may not only come from questionable sources, but they may also be contaminated.
Unfortunately this is not a hidden miracle cure all and ultimately, it is an unproven treatment that could hurt you. Anyone telling you otherwise is either misinformed or trying to sell you something. It’s best to stick with treatments that are supported by evidence to prevent harm, save you money, time, and energy on disproven treatments. It’s tempting to try natural treatments and I can see the allure. If your main concern is avoiding synthetic or unnatural drugs in the place of natural therapies, I recommend you read this prior blog post where I write extensively on the topic. Ultimately the decision is yours to make and your comfort level, but it’s good to have the evidence. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T00:11:23Z', 'url': 'https://survivorstable.com/2018/09/30/does-vitamin-b17-amygdalin-laetrile-cure-or-prevent-cancer/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Folding link locks combine higher levels of security with space saving and easy to carry advantages. They are generally a step up over lower security cable locks and close in strength, if not equal, with most chain locks. Back in the late eighties, Yamaha introduced the Cyclelok, featuring 6 round linked bars and a tubular key system. Today, it is German market leader ABUS who took the concept to the next level with it's extensive line of Bordo folding locks. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T22:12:35Z', 'url': 'https://lockitt.com/Folding-Locks.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

But since discovering frozen crabmeat at the local grocer, it's become possible to include crab in our cooking once in a while.
Have adopted a creamy pasta bake method, and made this on a Sunday afternoon.
Cook pasta according to instruction on the pack, reduce cooking time by a few minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat some vegetable oil and sautee the garlic and onion on medium heat till soften.
Add in the dried oregano and let it simmer for about a minute. Stir in the mushroom and cook for a few minutes, stirring regularly.
Add in the crab meat, stir and mix well before pouring in the white wine. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
Stir in the softened cream cheese, keep stirring till completely melted. Add in some milk or water at this point if it's too thick or dry.
Drain the pasta and mix it into the pan with the crab meat. Mix well and season with some rock salt, remove from heat.
Set the oven to 180°C. Grease the base of an 8" square oven dish with a little butter.
Pour the entire crab meat mixture into the dish.
In a small deep pan, heat the butter on low. When melted stir in the plain flour to make a soft paste.
Add milk gradually while stirring constantly to make a smooth bernaise sauce. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Pour the bernaise sauce all over the top of the crab meat pasta. Spread evenly to cover everything. Lightly sprinkle some paprika over the sauce.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for further 10 minutes at 200°C.Leave it stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting into serving portions.
Serve with some wild rocket and olives.
There was enough to serve four, so we freeze 2 portions which can then be prepared like ready oven meal for another day. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T18:29:15Z', 'url': 'http://www.littlefoodfairy.com/2017/04/crab-meat-pasta-bake.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
When it comes to dog training, it’s best to start early; when they are puppies, they learn how to explore their environment. But how early should you start training your puppy to use an underground invisible fence? According to Invisible Fence of Newtown in Connecticut, you should start training no sooner than eight weeks of age. However, for some puppies, it may be best to wait until your pet is a little older.
Although underground dog fence systems can be beneficial for pets of any age, eight weeks is usually a good time to start, because it is a time when a puppy is starting to become familiar with commands and become more secure around his or her home.
Invisible fence systems work via an underground perimeter that is specifically designed for your yard. Through a unique collar, your dog will be signaled whenever he or she is close to getting out of the yard. Over time, the dog will safely and comfortably learn to stay within the fence border. To make sure your pet is able to learn from the system, it’s best if you’ve already trained your puppy to follow simple commands, such as sitting and staying.
Since puppies all have their own personalities, it’s important to know your pet’s own temperament. If your puppy is secure and comfortable in his or her home, you can probably begin training for the invisible fence. However, if your pet is still easily startled or skittish, you may want to wait until he or she is more acclimated — usually around four to six months.
Invisible Fence of Newtown encourages pet owners to start training slowly, by exposing their puppy to the fenced area at about 10 to 15 minutes a day. Instead of letting your pet go free-range in the beginning, start by walking him or her around the perimeter on a leash, so you can remain in control.
During the training period, keep an eye on how your puppy responds. If you notice any signs of stress, it’s best to pull back and wait until he or she is older. For instance, if your pet pulls back on the leash, has tucked ears, is stiff, acts frantic, or has lowered their tail or body.
It’s also important to make sure you choose a system that is safe for your puppy. To learn more about an effective and humane system that is recommended by pet experts and vets, visit the Invisible Fence of Newtown’s website or call them at (888) 429-2421. You can also like them on Facebook for more helpful tips and reviews. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T00:47:27Z', 'url': 'https://nearsay.com/c/160110/99449/how-old-should-a-puppy-be-for-invisible-fence-training', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Enjoy reading and share 100 famous quotes about Love Hearts And with everyone.
Everything faded away except one emotion. One so pure and innocent that it seemed intangible. I was encompassed and filled with a sensation that was consuming, warming me throughout. There was a word that was the closest thing to describe it, but the gravity he held of it was so much more than a word could possibly convey. He saw everything I was to God, to this world, to his own heart. Our souls were entwined with it, our destinies written by it, our hearts beat to it.
O my Charlotte, the sacred, tender remembrance! Gracious Heaven! restore to me the happy moment of our first acquaintance.
I smile at the suggestions of my heart, and obey its dictates.
I turned my face away. She should not act thus. She ought not to excite my imagination with such displays of heavenly innocence and happiness, nor awaken my heart from its slumbers, in which it dreams of the worthlessness of life! And why not? Because she knows how much I love her.
I possess so much, but my love for her absorbs it all. I possess so much, but without her I have nothing.
"It's not. Nothing's right. I've never done a right thing in my life, it seems."
"That makes a pair of us then." Her lips pressed against the spot under his ear. "But I believe we are right together, don't you? People like us ... we have no talent for following rules. We can only follow our hearts. I've wronged people as well, but is it horribly wicked that I can't bring myself to regret it? It brought me to you."
I'm starting to think that most villains aren't evil - they are just misundertood.
Or victims of that manipulative force: Love.
Love causes war and causes death, breaks souls and breaks lives. It runs people into the ground, makes them behave like moronic, immoral beasts, before it dances off, leaving only destruction in its wake - hearts blown wide open for the whole world to see.
The alchemy that is friendship mixed with attraction is important. The alchemy that is two hearts, two minds, two lives, two particular laughs in silly melody is important.
Walker and Timothy sat quietly for a very long time. "Why do so many people make it so hard for anyone to help them or to love them?" Walker asked finally.
And then, leaning slowly towards him, she did something she realised she'd been wanting to do for such a long time. She kissed him.
For a second he hesitated, before letting himself fall with her, and, pulling her close, he wrapped his arms around her, pressing her to him. Breathing her in. His lips against hers. Tongue against tongue. Eyes closed. Hearts thudding. Deep, long, hungry kisses born out of the lack of any feelings of self-consciousness or embarrassment. Just two people wanting each other. Holding each other. Kissing the life out of each other.

Several of the services that we offer are various forms of ablative procedures that are designed to help patients with the effects of aging. New studies are being released that show that the benefits of ablation can now be complimented with more comprehensive post procedure care that is designed to reduce inflammation.
Ablative procedures-e.g., chemical peels, laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion-are effective options for patients who want to reduce photodamage and restore the youthful health of their skin. But stimulating the skin is only half the equation. Patients also require post-procedure care aimed at reducing inflammation, repairing barrier function and protecting a damaged epidermis from irritants in order to reap the full benefits of your services.
Because resurfacing procedures strip away the top layers of the epidermis, the skin barrier becomes damaged leading to redness, irritation and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Occlusive topicals, such as petrolatum and silicone, help prevent moisture loss and keep environmental pollutants from entering the skin. Additional ingredients used to protect damaged skin and restore proper barrier function include lipids, ceramides and polyhydroxy acids (PHAs).
Dr. Thornfeldt notes that there are about 20 herbal extracts including safflower, sunflower, mallow and avocado that have been proven to repair a damaged skin barrier and return its function to normal. He finds the most effective barrier repair ingredients are those that mimic the natural composition of healthy skin. “Cholesterol, 11 ceramides and linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid), as well as lauric, palmitic and stearic acids make up the protective stratum corneum permeability barrier. They are arranged in a brick-and-mortar pattern with layers of lipids compromising the mortar between corneocytes,” he says. The goal of formulators is to combine those ingredients in ratios that mimic healthy skin.
Protecting a compromised barrier is key to preventing infection, environmental damage and moisture loss, but the most effective postprocedure products must also calm inflammation to ensure optimal healing.
Dr. Graf recommends Avène Thermal Spring Water, which has anti-redness properties, as well as moisturizing and anti-inflammatory coconut oil to her patients.
Depending on the aggressiveness of the procedure, Dr. Graf starts patients with either Aquaphor, petrolatum or Avène Cicalfate, “which provides immediate soothing and cooling,” she says.
Creating a simple post-care instruction sheet as well as a list-or retail bag-of recommended homecare products will help your patients achieve their desired outcomes while also providing the most comfortable treatment and recovery experience possible.

The head of the European Union (EU) border agency Frontex has warned that over 800,000 people have entered the EU as “irregular” arrivals since the beginning of 2015 and more are on the way. Europe’s frontiers therefore need strengthening with more border guards and new laws to cope with a crisis pushing the EU ever closer to total disintegration.
Frontex director Fabrice Leggeri made that prescription when he told the German newspaper Bild that the human tide now engulfing Europe required a heightened bureaucratic response from Brussels and that some “irregular” migrants without the right to asylum should also be “locked up if necessary” pending deportation.
“Anyone who has entered illegally and has no right to asylum must quickly be sent back to his homeland,” Mr. Leggeri added.
Under EU law, it’s possible to keep irregular migrants in detention for up to 18 months to organise their return home.
Mr. Leggeri said that the figure of 800,000 arrivals was only provisional, as tens of thousands more people were on their way from sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, with the high point of arrivals “not yet reached”.
“We have so far registered more than 800,000 irregular border crossings. Still many more people are making their way here. I’m afraid we have not yet peaked. The EU countries need to prepare themselves, that we still have a very difficult situation in front of us in the coming months, ” he said.
Raw data compiled by Frontex highlights the sheer weight of humanity now pressing on Europe with migrants responding to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s offer in August to take any and all people who turn up and request asylum.
Germany has seen its number of entrants soar (see right) but it is far from alone. In 2015, the Swedish refugee intake will be close to 200,000 people, twice what was estimated only a few months ago.
“We are particularly lacking staff. On October 2, we asked the Member States [for] 775 border guards. We have been received to date 326. That’s not enough! Frontex has so far 320 employees at its headquarters in Warsaw, 220 guest officers in Greece and 357 in Italy.
Last month, Frontex said that 710,000 people had entered the EU in the first nine months of the year but cautioned that many people had been counted twice. The agency said on October 13 that “irregular border crossings may be attempted by the same person several times”.
In October alone, more than 218,000 people crossed the Mediterranean for Europe, the UN reported on Monday – a record for 2015 and more than arrived in all of 2014.
On Wednesday, the first set of 30 migrants left Greece for Luxembourg under an EU plan to redistribute people throughout the 28-member bloc in order to ease pressure on countries like Greece and Italy.
The bloc hopes to transfer some 160,000 people under the plan. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T20:51:45Z', 'url': 'https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/11/04/official-chaotic-eu-needs-laws-border-guards-stem-migrant-invasion/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

IRVINE – A grass-roots effort to turn the corner of a community park into a memorial for fallen service members moved one step closer to fruition this week, with the Irvine Community Services Commission lending their support to a permanent Northwood Gratitude and Honor memorial.
The City Council still has the final say over whether to make the community-driven monument a permanent fixture at Northwood Community Park, but commissioners for the first time on Wednesday threw their unanimous support behind the project.
The long-running grassroots campaign to make permanent the makeshift military memorial has long divided the project’s backers and city leaders who feared that previous plans weren’t compatible with a small community park.
The temporary Northwood memorial was first created in March of 2003, when Asher Milgrom of Irvine decided to honor the Americans killed in Iraq by erecting their names and photos on 30 wooden posts.
Supporters have continued to erect the memorial annually, from just before Memorial Day to just after Independence Day.
The Irvine City Council back in 2007 earmarked $150,000 for the project, but progress on a permanent memorial ground to a halt thanks to concern over the size of the planned memorial, and resistance from some city leaders over including the names of the fallen service members.
The current memorial plan calls for a $210,000 design comprised of a new monument sign and plaque, a lighted flagpole, a paved walkway, three seat walls, and five pedestals bearing granite panels inscribed with the names of fallen service members from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Memorial backers would still need to cover the $60,000 shortfall. Staffers noted that $17,000 has already been raised by grassroots supporters during fundraising efforts.
Irvine resident and military veteran Bill Tidwell was among several Northwood memorial backers urging commissioners to sign off on the plan.
Several longtime community service commissioners said they were pleased that the long-running Northwood memorial debate appears to be nearing an end.
“In Irvine everything is planned, planned, planned, but this project came out of the community itself,” Commissioner Carol Liittschwager said.
Not everyone was thrilled with the memorial’s design, with one neighbor saying a park near a busy intersection was not the best place for tranquil reflection.
Community Services Commission Chair Shiva Farivar said she was originally opposed to the project, initially feeling that Colonel Bill Barber Marine Corps Memorial Park near City Hall was a more appropriate place for the project.
If the project meets council approval, city staff said it could be completed by the end of August of next year. Irvine leaders could vote on the project as early as next Tuesday. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T04:04:32Z', 'url': 'https://www.ocregister.com/2009/12/02/commissioners-back-military-memorial-at-irvine-park/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

How it Works - When you create friction by brushing your hair or towel drying it, you strip your hair of negative ions. Ionic tools, such as our ionic-infused brushes, can reverse this effect. By using our ionic brushes, you add negative ions back into the hair and restore its natural charge. This promotes healthy, smooth, glossy hair. When you heat the brush up, it produces even more ions. This technology, along with our superior deign and finest hand polished materials, offers the best quality luxury brush. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T22:35:25Z', 'url': 'https://durasilkltd.com/DS-Ionic-Infused-Bamboo-Paddle-Brush-DS651.htm', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

Do you remember my supper and simple salad for one, starting with rotisserie chicken, spinach, tomatoes and canned 3-bean salad, salad olives and artichoke hearts? I prepared two additional meals in 10 minutes recently—not counting boiling water while I watched the news.
While I boiled a 9-ounce package of Buitoni Mushroom Agnolotti, I placed several handfuls of spinach in a colander, chopped remaining tomatoes and added them to the marinated vegetable mix. I poured the water from the agnolotti over the spinach to wilt it, then added half the pasta to the vegetable mix. I placed the saucepan back on the cooktop over medium heat, added a little olive oil and a generous spoonful of minced garlic and stirred until the garlic was translucent and the pasta was coated with oil. While that was happening, I mixed the pasta and cold vegetables together to coat the pasta. I added the spinach to the hot pasta, sprinkled generously with grated Parmesan, stirred and served in a pasta bowl.
After dinner, I added a little balsamic vinaigrette to the salad mix, stirred and refrigerated. The next day, I tossed in Gorgonzola crumbles and pine nuts for an entrée salad.
Please share your favorite quick meal. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T22:37:37Z', 'url': 'https://ellawallprichard.com/2-more-meals-to-fix/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

I bought an iPad last week. (Well, technically, I bought it several weeks ago, but it didn’t ship until last Wednesday. Apparently, these things are popular.) Since my face has been buried in my shiny new toy for the majority of the past few days, I figured I might as well offer some quick hit thoughts on it as it relates to comics and my comics business.
The iPad comes with hardly any documentation at all. I think this is a part of the product’s branding as something “You already know how to use.” Heh, well, in a lot of ways they were right. In no time at all I was surfing the web, using the touch interface, downloading apps, etc. However, I did have to Google “How to turn off iPad” to find out how to shut her down.
Typing is tedious on the iPad. On the one hand, typing is pretty fun on the iPad. I feel like I’m on Star Trek: The Next Generation, tapping away on the pretty touch screen to make my words. But man, am I going slow. While I anticipate my typing speed to increase over time, it’ll never be the equivalent of clacking away at a keyboard. So I don’t anticipate using this device all that much for script writing. Perhaps if I purchased a wireless keyboard for it (which of course they make) I’d change my tune, but I still think in the cases of long writing sessions, I’d much prefer the desktop.
iPad is a dream device for conventions. Here’s a little sequence for you that happened at a convention yesterday. I had just finished up setting up my table and was getting ready for the doors to open at the show. I glance at the iPad and notice I have a few emails. I check them on my Verizon Wireless 3G connection, and see one of the emails was from an attendee requesting a last minute commission to be paid for and picked up at the show. Cool, I’ll start it now while I wait for the show to open. Of course, I wasn’t too familiar with the character, so I Googled her, pulled a cool reference image for her costume, and went to work. When the guy showed up to pay for the commission, he wanted to use a credit card. No problem, because I have the Square app installed. I took his card, swiped it in the credit card reader attachment that plugs into the headphone jack, had him sign for it on the iPad with his finger, and the transaction was processed right there. Then, just for good measure, I used the iPad to take a picture of the guy holding the commission for posterity’s sake. It was seamless. It was awesome.
Reading comics on the iPad is a different experience. I’m not going to say better or worse, just different. One thing I like about the device is that it feels like having access to a never ending pile of comics. With the amount of books now available for digital download, it seems like there’s always going to be something to read. On the same time, there are a few things that take some getting used to. With digital, I really don’t have a sense of when a book is going to end, and when I get to the end of a digital book, I’m always a little surprised. I wish more digital books included backmatter. This topic of comics on digital devices is worthy of a full discussion, so I won’t say much more about it here. But a quick rec, if you have a digital device, go download Skullkickers #0 for free. It is gorgeous and a fun read.
There IS an app for that. I have yet to think of something I wanted to do with the iPad and not been able to find an easy to download and install app that does just that. Now, they’re not always going to be free, but they are there. And I think that’s the biggest selling point of the iPad. There will be a ton of competition in the tablet space in the coming years, but the 50,000 apps already in existence for Apple products gives Jobs and co a healthy lead on the rest of the pack.
So that’s my quick round up of my first few days in the iPad club. (No, I haven’t learned the secret handshake yet.) Are you a creator with an iPad, or thinking about getting one? If so, how are you/do you plan to use the device? Leave some comments below.
I’m something of a luddite when it comes to technology. It seems I’m always at least a decade behind whatever happens to be the latest trend. I only got my first flat-screen TV a few years ago. My mobile phone is an ancient brick so old that the big technical innovation at the time of its invention was texting. I only got an MP3 player a couple of years ago, and it was a Zen Stone, not an iPod. I joined Myspace when everyone was moving to Facebook, and joined Facebook when everyone was moving to Twitter. And I still have a wired internet connection.
So it’ll probably be about 2020 before I get an iPad, and by then everyone will be in their VR hoverchair machines broadcasting directly from their thoughts onto the internet. I’m kinda torn on whether or not I want one. Part of me thinks it’s just the world’s most expensive rectangle, and you’re paying a lot of money for something that looks nice. But on the other hand, it DOES look nice. And it would be awesome, being able to be connected wherever you go, and having access to all those delicious apps.
So maybe I’ll get round to buying one eventually. But right now I’m using my money to make comics!
That said, it’s pretty damn cool. And the coolest thing is it just plain works. Nothing to install. No drivers or hassles. You just turn it on and you’re off. I don’t have a laptop, and have been asking for Apple gift cards from family for the last few holidays to save up for it. I’ve never been one to rush out and spend wads of cash on the shiny new object out there.
But this is one purchase I do not regret.
I’m VERY surprised you got the Square app installed already, because you just got the iPad. Great going!
Typing is going to be slow on it. While you’ll eventually get some speed, I don’t think it will be physical keyboard-fast. It’s great for note taking and making, but it’s not something I would use for actual scripting or editing. Not unless I absolutley had to.
I’m on the fence with the iPad. I played around with it briefly at Best Buy yesterday, but I’m still not quite convinced that I absolutely need one. Is it worth getting the Wi-Fi only model? How much is the data plan per month?
Hey Krishna. You’re definitely more of a tech-head than I am. I do know some people who already have an iPhone are using the iPhone as a hotspot, and thus only need the wi-fi model. I don’t have an iPhone, and that sounded complicated, so I got the Verizon 3G model, and the data plan is $20 a month. The good news is, there’s no contract, and it’s a month to month service. So, my current gameplan is to activate the contract when I need it, and cancel it when I don’t. The only real reason I’ll NEED 3G access is for comic conventions and travel. I have 3 conventions/events in the next month, so I activated it. But, I won’t have an event again until August, so I’ll likely cancel for a few months.
As a side note, this was my first convention offering Credit Card processing, and CC sales made up 15% of my total sales.
And Steven, yes, I was on the ball with Square. In fact, I ordered my credit card swiper from them BEFORE I even got the iPad. It was a breeze to set up, and is one of the smoothest apps I’ve used so far.
Your write-up, because it came from a comic creator’s point of view, really gives me some good reasons to consider the iPad in my plans for the future.
Your experience about receiving that commission before the convention started, and the subsequent credit card transaction…Wow, Apple couldn’t have made up a better sales pitch to comics folks! Smart of you having the Square attachment too!
Heh. Seriously, Jav. Now, where’s Steve with my endorsement kickback? Hello?
Tyler, where can I find out more information about the Square app and CC swiper? I have an iPad with 3G capabilities but I’ve never taken advantage of that feature since my cell phone service is with T-Mobile. I got the iPad with 3G just in case I ever needed it in the future.
– Sign up for Square here. The swiper came in about a week and was free.
– Download the Square app for your iPad from the APP store.
– Sign up for a 3G data plan. You can do that entirely through your iPad, or through a Verizon store.
I’d like to offer up my own iPad experience. I too have used the iPad for the Square app and it works like BUTTAH, but it’s also good for displaying comics material you don’t have in print yet. For Wondercon, I used it to showcase pages of Valkyrie I didn’t make mini books of. Also, I bought a stylus for mine and the Sketchbook Pro software and used it to make some paintings. If I’m on the road, it makes a really good sketch book.
I imagine a good stylus will be among my first iPad accessories purchases. I hear great things about the Sketchbook Pro app, and plan on downloading.
I should also mention that I also used the iPad as a digital picture frame and ran the slideshow. However, I couldn’t find how to make the slideshow loop, so it kept getting to the end of the pics in my folder and then shutting off. So, there is still more I need to learn about my new toy.
I think a good use of an Ipad at a con table would be to have a the device on a stand with a slideshow going to to preview the book you are hawking. Sure people can flip through the book itself, but this calls attention to the key frames that will really sell the book.
I definitely want an iPad. I have loved Apple since college. My day job involves fixing PCs, so I love going home to my iMac.
I already know what I want to use my iPad for. I want to do the same thing that you did at the convention, but I also want to use it for showcasing work and having a form so people can sign up for my newsletter.
I want to check out the drawing apps and see what they are like. I wonder what my experience will be like when I take it to life drawing class and use it to draw the models.
I will use it to blog and update my websites from conventions or comic events.
I will also use it for the typical stuff like surfing, shopping, reading, and playing games. I think they are awesome!
I love your writeup on your new iPad2, Tyler. I’ve heard good things about those credit card apps but “Simple pricing: 2.75% per swipe.” made me suddenly realise why I usually get a better price for paying cash at those events.
If you ever want a cool creativity/entertainment app for it, try out “Spiralocity” (our first iPad app). It’s tons of fun.
Heh, I cringed when you said you’d dropped it already. Glad its still ok. lol Thanks for the succinct breakdown of your experience with the iPad. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T18:51:54Z', 'url': 'http://www.comixtribe.com/2011/04/18/a-week-with-an-ipad/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday moved the Pakistan Press Council against a Daily Ummat report asserting that Bushra Maneka, the third wife of party chairman Imran Khan, had left the cricketer-turned-politician’s Bani Gala residence.
The report against the party chairman published on April 22 is utterly false, the party said in a statement. Several baseless allegations have been made regarding the personal and marital life of Imran Khan.
The ill-intended newspaper made no effort to verify its claim with Imran Khan or the party before publishing it, the document further read. “The filing of malicious news report targeting the integrity of Imran Khan and his family is a clear attempt to scandalise the personal life of our party chief before the upcoming general elections,” it stated.
The Daily Ummat report claimed Maneka left the residence following differences over the extended stay of her son at the residence. The publication also claimed Khan’s sisters were not too happy on account of his third marriage. They were also actively involved in revamping the property, the report added. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T21:27:11Z', 'url': 'https://tribune.com.pk/story/1695957/1-pti-rubbishes-reports-bushra-leaving-imrans-bani-gala-residence/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |
Omar Mascarell is set for a return to Real Madrid as the club have taken steps to activate his buy-back option after impressive performances for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Midfielder Mascarell left Real in 2016 after just one first team appearance, but Los Blancos saw enough in the young Spaniard to embed a clause in his contract allowing them to buy him back if he fulfilled his potential.
Their faith was not ill-founded and, after 43 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt, the 25-year-old is now set for a return to the Santiago Bernabeu. Although Mascarell himself admitted that he did not know exactly what his future would hold.
"The buy-back option is going to be exercised, but I do not know what will happen to my future," he said in an interview with EFW, quoted by Marca.
"I think Real Madrid want me to complete pre-season with them.
"I think they are interested in keeping me, but I would like to continue growing and gaining experience, so my thinking is to stay in Germany if I have to leave Real Madrid."
Mascarell's failure to break into the first team at Real was mixed with loan spells at Derby County and Sporting Gijon, but he has only kind words to say about his previous stint in the Spanish capital.
"I only have words of thanks to Real Madrid because during my stay in Valdebebas they improved me both from a football standpoint and a mental one," he said.
"They made me mature beyond my years and they taught me to always win."
Mascarell's final game for Eintracht Frankfurt will be Saturday's German Cup final against Bayern Munich in Berlin. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T18:23:40Z', 'url': 'https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/05/18/real-madrid-move-activate-buy-back-option-frankfurt-defensive-midfield-star', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | C4 |

Proper attire is essential for safety in the workplace. Your PPE, or Personal Protective Equipment, keeps you safe in more ways than one. Choosing the right head and foot gear is an easy way to protect everything from your vision to your balance.
Injury from falling objects, punctures and electrical hazards.
Fatigue in your legs and back.
Follow your employer’s directions for the proper type of footwear. You may need to choose boots made from protective material, with steel toes and anti-slip soles. You may also need to look for an OSHA label on the packaging. To learn more, talk to your boss or recruiter about the minimum requirements for safe footwear.
Choose the right type and class of hard hat. This is related to your job. Basically, the type of hard hat you choose determines how much physical and electrical impact it can absorb to protect you.
Screens vs goggles. You’ll be sure to protect your eyes from flying particles, toxic splashes and heat with the right eye protection. Goggles may need to be ANSI-certified. A screen that attaches to your hard hat can be either wire or heat-reflective, depending on your job requirements.
Your recruiter is a valuable source of safety information.
If you work with a staffing agency for job placements, you can always check with your recruiter when you have questions about safety equipment and protocols. He or she can help ensure you have everything you need for on-the-job safety, including training.
Your recruiter is your partner when it comes to finding jobs that fit your career goals. And LaborMax is your number one choice for labor and construction positions.
