Lynn Peril writes a fascinating study of pink color and its historical connection to ideas and beliefs of femininity. Peril translates and defines Pink Think as a collection of specific ideas, beliefs, and approaches of how and when is feminine behavior considered proper. Throughout her book, Peril is pointing out various fundamental approaches and attitudes that are considered to be crucial for women's achievements and accomplishments. Peril's Pink Think also advocates how the greatest concern of femininity is related to women's physical appearance (fashion and beauty) and their marriage (motherhood and housekeeper). Furthermore, Peril is demonstrating the evolution of femininity and the constant and intense impact of its norms and rules on women's lives. Peril is interpreting the popularity of Pink Think since the early '40s, all the way through the '60s. She explains and simplifies it through various examples based on how women have to behave and look girly from an early age in order to create and secure an acceptable status and position in society.
Women have been told what to do since the beginning of time. "Pink Think" furthers that idea. This article by Lynn Peril explains what influences have impacted the way females act and think. Emotional appeal, the use of the theory pink think, and her use of specific examples from history all come together to establish her case that women have been expected to fit into a specific mold in order to be a successful woman in life. Every woman feels the need to fit in with society. By fitting in, the woman would get the perfect guy, be successful in life, and feel included. Lynn Peril shows how the attitude of Pink think made women feel the need to fit in. There were articles that showed the joys of housewifery. Women who read these articles felt that if they were a housewife and enjoyed the aspects of it written in the article, they fit in. It is a trait in women that all women want to fit in. We look in magazines and wish to look and dress like the models. This was what women thought about Pink think. It was the "in" way to act and think. Women who thought this way fit in and those who did no wanted to so that they could fit in.
Lynn Peril shows how Pink think made women want to fit in, and it worked. The theory of Pink Think is a set of ideas and attitudes about what constitutes proper female behavior. It was very popular from the 1940s to the 1970s. The theory of Pink think is the main argument of this essay. The cultural mindset of Pink think touched every female. The women read about it in articles, teens learned about it in their home economics textbooks, and little girls learned the feminine behaviors in games such as Miss. Popularity. With all the aspects of a woman's life having some type of Pink think, it is no wonder women felt the need to fit into this mold. Pink think also told women that femininity was the only way to get and marry a man. And that was the only way to have a child, which was what women were supposed to do. Pink think also "made beauty, charm, and submissive behavior of mandatory importance to women of all ages in order to win a man's attention and hold his interest after marriage. " It made women believe the only thing to do in life was to please a man.
Pink think took over the way women act and thought in order to fit into what society thought a woman should be like. The use of specific examples in "Pink Think" helped Lynn Peril show that this theory influenced women at any stage of their life. Pink think influenced women from the way they put on their bathing suits to the choice of contraception. The example that had a real influence on me was the Miss America competition of 1961. Nancy Fleming's answer to just kick both of her heals off and continue down the runway was a good one, but her answer that too many women were working and they should just be at home was shocking. Also, the fact that she won after that answer really surprised me. Fleming was putting women throughout the country down and saying they should just stay at home and have no place in the workforce. Women should have the choice to work or stay at home.
I do not think the role model for America should have told the world that women are overpowering men and her place is in the home. Peril's use of several specific examples allows her to connect to different readers. By having several examples, Lynn Peril expands the audience that she affects. By using emotional appeal, the use of Pink think, and several specific examples Lynn Peril shows readers how women were influenced to act and think a certain way. Some of these attitudes are still looming around today. Just because Pink think was popular from 1940-1970, does not mean the idea does not show up today. Women are still expected to act and think a certain way. Lynn Peril showed how women were supposed to act back then, and it has changed in the present-day, but some ideas are still around.
When women are growing up, they either hope or are supposed to be ladylike. From the pink blanket for a newborn baby girl to the laced kerchief for an old woman, there exist standards that restrain female behavior and influence women's lives as time goes on. Similarly, Lynn Peril argues that "Pink think is a set of ideas and attitudes about what constitutes proper female behavior" (281). In the selection "Pink Think," which is selected from the introduction to Pink Think, Peril briefly introduces several instructions about female behavior for daily life and illustrates a few factoids of femininity when she was born.
By using some theories of Pink Think and several specific examples from history, the author establishes the case that a woman has been expected to fit into a specific mold in order to be a successful woman in life. Nevertheless, some people think that the stereotypes of the Pink Think have indeed changed and do not exist in today's life because of the replacement of new stereotypes. However, through examining the role-play games for women, the female's behavior between past and present, the pink toys for girls, and the first blanket for a newborn baby girl, the pink think still exists in today's society. First of all, the "appropriate" color for girls in hospitals or other similar institutions indicates that the Pink Think still exists in current society.
In Lynn Peril's Pink Think: Becoming A Woman in Many Uneasy Lessons, Peril depicts social conservatism as a key characteristic of society in the 1950s. Consumer capitalism and commercial advertisement not only helped perpetuate social conformity but also defined gender roles and expectations of both men and women. In this paper, I will argue that both the consumption and influence of social pressure helped create the structure of traditional and strict gender roles. Consumer Capitalism was an essential trademark of the 1950s. The devastation of World War II left America's economy crippled and its individuals in despair. This fostered hope among Americans for social and economic recovery, giving rise to modernity and suburban growth in the 1950's— both of which shaped the development of the American culture of the time. Women, as described in Peril's Pink Think, played a special and active role in consumer capitalism.
Commercial advertisement, which was a new and advanced vehicle for social and economic growth, pressured and encouraged women to partake in consumer spending—making personal and social turmoil imminent and prevalent among women. Women were caught on the threshold between choosing society, with the perk of living comfortably yet restrained, or against the status quo, with the perk of living freely, yet, as an outcast. The onset of consumerism "symbolized their future roles as housewives, painting a very clear image of a woman of the 1950's" [1]. If a woman of the 1950s lived outside the boundaries of what constituted the 'ideal woman' of the 1950s, as Peril demonstrated in the book, the individual suffered consequences— jeopardizing her own title and status in American society.
The Cold War, which took place from the mid-1940s to the '90s, instilled a deep-set fear of social instability among Americans across the nation. The fear of communism, otherwise known as the "The Second Red Scare", forced individuals into conformity— bringing upon society shame and disgust towards any behavior that reflected any sort of non-conformity. Individuals placed great value on conformity as it helped bring some social stability and social order in the midst of the chaos that resulted from the war. Nonconformity included engagement in homosexual and interracial relationships, and, Pink Think illustrates, violating any social expectations of a man or woman of society— key elements that later came to shape the conservative era of the 1950s. Nonconformity, or the trespass of gender expectations in society, as demonstrated in Peril's novel, dictated social behaviors among both men and women in America.
Another key characteristic of the 1950s was the Polio Epidemic. Polio, a fatal disease causing paralysis or even death, was contracted from the unsanitary conditions of urban cities— an area "[lacking] doctors or decent hospital facilities" [2]. This caused many Americans to flee to housing areas, later known as the white suburbs. Migrating populations led to tremendous growth in suburban areas. The suburbs consisted mostly of white, middle-class American residents. This exclusive community over time led to the strict and rigid form of the "nuclear family" [3]— a domestic ideal of the post-war era. The typical nuclear family lived in a house with a white picket fence along with an assigned role for every family member. Mothers, in particular, as described in Peril's novel, were given the role of assuming domestic responsibilities and upholding domestic stability in the house. While the image of the perfect suburban wife was "efficient, patients, [and] always charming" [4], men on the other hand took on more business-oriented careers, arriving at a clean home with dinner awaiting them at the dining table. This intensified the social pressure and influence among women— laying the foundation for women to be objectified and undermined later in society.
American society in the 1950s placed great emphasis on commercial advertising and consumer spending. Consumer spending, helping to repair the economical damage of World War II, became the epitome of social status in society. The emergence of television helped catapult consumption throughout America, with many of these advertisements appealing to young women. As Peril describes in her book, the marketing campaigns placed social status and materialism on a pedestal—exposing women to the pressure of adopting and becoming the social norm. Commercial advertisement, a strategy used to broadcast what was considered normal and 'the standard' to American individuals, fed to the economic stimulation of monetary wealth. These advertisements taught women to feel ashamed of their natural beauty, thus influencing them to purchase their cosmetic products as a way of building confidence. "Advertisements suggested that there was nothing consumerism couldn't solve, as if the only thing between heartbreak and happiness was the proper stemware of a set of monogrammed towels" [5].
Companies advertised their products to be an end-all and be-all solution to all their life problems. In reality, however, this belief only deepened female insecurity as it made them feel their standards are not up to par with society's standards. Peril further describes society's standards for women when she states that the advertisement of "Listerine played on a women's fears of lonely spinsterhood… their advertising brought other anxieties into the picture as well. 'You can look him quick when your Charm starts slipping', began one 1955 ad" [6]. This ad, exacerbating women's already pre-existing insecurities, insinuates that her outer appearance plays a great factor in her love life and her ability to find a partner. This added tremendous pressure on women to uphold society's expectations by maintaining a hyper-feminine image— a practice self-deprecating to women influenced under commercial advertising industries. Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal, references the cynical truth of marketing that is also parallel in the food industry when he states, "A market is a tool, and a useful one. But the worship of this tool is a hollow faith." [7].
Americans, who lived through the Cold War experienced, experienced a deep fear of social instability that even more so expanded the walls of conservatism in American society. Not only did Americans fear communism but, most importantly, nonconformity, or any behavior that deviated from their role in society. A key example of this, as Peril describes, is the social expectation of a woman's duty to society. "If the little women didn't shoulder her duty to bear children and maintain the home" Peril states, "the national economy was threatened" [8]. Extreme statements as these encapsulated the magnitude of stress and pressure women experienced in the 1950s. If women did not abide by the social norms and expected role of the 'ideal woman', in the eyes of society, they have disrupted the very nature of humanity, betraying society's fabricated image of womanhood—a dark contrast to the very ideals of conservatism.
In his novel Fast Food Nation, Schlosser states that the founders of food industries, such as McDonald's, "cannot trust some people who are nonconformists… [they] will make conformists out of them in a hurry… the organization cannot trust the individual; the individual must trust the organization'" [9]. Society, a product of the system, functions on uniformity. The system, however, which works to create social order, dampens the voices of its subject in the process— an act that unknowingly plummets American individuals into oblivion. This plays an influential role in an individual's condemnation of nonconformity and subversive behavior— placing great power in the voice of the system while silencing those who are beneath it. Conservatism, however, manifested itself into a higher exercise of social power— the objectification of women in American society, or gender hierarchy. The idea of the nuclear family served as a pivotal point in the development of gender expectations because while it epitomized perfection and American success, it also showcased the ideal 'relationship', which Peril continues to describe is, in essence, male ego-driven. "Boys [enjoy] being with a popular girl because 'in her company, they feel more manly, cleverer, or better'… Boys also brought out the femininity in girls.
The girl who is feminine wants the man to lead her… She likes being with a boy because he brings out these feelings in her' (47)[10]. Much like Capitalism, traces of narcissism and superficiality inherent in consumer spending subconsciously play a role in the behavior of men as it determines who they choose as a partner. This practice undervalues women. Rather than finding value in one another, the individual found value in how the other could feed his ego—a feeling also provided by that of materialism. High selectivity and fierce competition, which encompasses the very ideology of capitalism in a similar way, fuels the social dynamic of men and women in society as well—all of which shapes the gender roles of men and women in society. In Fast Food Nation, Schlosser states, "The thing that's been inhibiting long-form investigative reporting is fear— fear of being sued, of being unpopular, of being criticized by very powerful groups" (236)[11]. Just as Schlosser describes, the fear of failure and falling short of perfection, a principle of American Success, is also apparent within the fast food industry as well; desensitization, a byproduct of the system, is an infestation on both the individual and social level.
Both the fast-food industry and commercial advertisement, as illustrated in Pink Think and Fast Food Nation, are dominant forces in society. While both marketed large benefits to the individual, they also came at a great cost—consumer loyalty that not only cost deep pockets but also generated gender roles molded at the hands of society. Both commercial marketing and the fast food industry prove to play a double-edged sword in society such that it runs on profit, but would altogether be impossible without the social control and structure of gender roles and social norms—a success attributed to the conservative culture of American society. The key events of World War II, the Cold War, and the polio epidemic greatly contributed to the formation of American society in the 1950s. Capitalism during World War II glamorized the idea of American success through the social ladder of economic status. The idea of conformity so heavily emphasized during the Cold War solidified the roles both men and women played in society all the while instilling fear upon those showcasing behavior that violated their assigned roles; the fear of nonconformity and ostracism keeps the practice of Conservatism alive.
And lastly, the objectification of women exhibited during the polio epidemic results in society's attempt to create structure and social order after the destruction and aftermath of the war. Both men and women of the 1950s fell into very strict roles shaped by the strong political, economic, demands of the time that very much still has a prolonging impact on American lives today. As evident in Pink Think and Fast Food Nation, the social structure of the 1950s remains evident in American culture today. Women continue to play a vital role in consumer consumption, as their desire to live up to society's standards and expectations are largely shaped by society's pressure to conform and please the male ego; the value of conformity continues to contradict healthy self-esteem and positive body image. In addition, men continue to take on careers in areas that business-oriented and still remain to be male-dominated until this day while women are still expected to play a subservient role towards men—a social structure that very much characterizes the gender roles and social expectations of American culture and its people today.
Is this introduction of an essay any good? What do you think? This essay pretends to analyze how the big issues of the society can be caused by psychological damage, in the individual, created by behaviors, believing simple and slight acts, in the familiar environment. Before of the analyze the problem, is necessary to clarify that this article is established on the argument that got underway in "The Wall", the largely based on the life of an integrant of Pink Floyd, the band. The topic will be expounded connecting the relations between family-individual and individual-society, having like a central point the human entity, all in the direction on the show: The family as a fundamental part of the society.
Answer. No, it is very awkward and disjointed. I get the strong sense that English is not your native language and that translating software may have been used for portions of it. I would reword it as follows: This essay will analyze how the big issues of society can be caused by psychological damage to individuals in the family environment, as exemplified in "The Wall", which is largely based on the life of a member of the band "Pink Floyd". It will connect the relationships between family and individual, and individual and society, with a focus on the family as a fundamental part of society.
I need a "think" like Lynn Peril?
We are writing a paper for English class and I need a think. Here are some examples. EX: Pink think-a girl is typically seen or thought of when someone says pink, girls typically wear pink and ruffles with curls in their hair. EX: Senior think-seniors have so much to worry bout, senior pics, scholarships, prom, graduation, senioritis. I need some Ideas….please anything is helpful. Thanks in advance.
Answer. We are not certain what you are asking here. If you give us examples of words you want us to make a connection with, you might get some responses. I can think of these: blue – boy, male, sand, ocean, and sky, doctor – most people still think male, senior – I think someone over 60. But if you repost with a few more ideas you might get more responses.

1 | example_7477 | About | Sunnyside Village
Sunnyside Village > About
Sunnyside Village is a Christian senior living community – a tranquil neighborhood setting surrounded by the beauty of tropical Florida. Serving our community over 50 years, we offer our residents additional care services, including out-patient therapy, assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, long-term comprehensive care, and palliative care all within our distinctive 35-acre neighborhood.
The Mission of Sunnyside Village is to honor God by enriching the lives of residents, staff and the community by providing homes, services and programs in a Christian environment.
Legacy of Serving Others
Willing hearts and hands answered a call to serve others over 50 years ago, beginning the Sunnyside story. Founder Wil Overholt had the vision to help the elderly while sharing a Christian testimony – a concept of a Christian retirement and nursing home. He shared his vision with others and felt encouraged. After much prayer and consideration, he purchased a thirty one-half acre tract of land on Bahia Vista Street in Sarasota, Florida. With the collaboration of others, Sunnyside Rest Home became a reality, modeled from out-of-state, Beachy-Amish Mennonite nursing homes that fulfilled many staff roles through a Voluntary Service program. Sunnyside Rest Home, a 49-bed facility, began operating in 1968 under the direction of the Sunnyside Beachy-Amish Mennonite Church, the church Mr. Overholt attended.
With nine years of successful operation, Wil Overholt and the Sunnyside board decided to sell Sunnyside Rest Home. To maintain their mission of "Christian care for the aged," they decided to sell the facility to a non-profit Mennonite church-related organization.
Over the past five decades, the Sunnyside mission of Christian care continues to expand. Sunnyside Village fulfills the need for senior-designed housing in a neighborhood setting, and Sunnyside Manor assisted living care serves those in need of nurturing support. In 2020, the new household-designed Health & Rehabilitation Center opened to expand our person-centered nursing care.
"The special feeling of peace, the caring and the outstanding service makes Sunnyside Village such a great place to live!"
– Tom and Pat Myers
The Five-Star Quality Rating System is a tool to help consumers, their families and caregivers compare skilled nursing care centers. Created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the rating system gives each facility a rating between 1 and 5 stars. CMS calculates a star rating for each of following 3 sources, along with an overall rating:
Sunnyside Village is located in beautiful Sarasota, Florida, making Sunnyside Village one of the most desirable senior living communities to live in the nation. Our community is conveniently located near all of Sarasota's cultural and environmental attractions, including award-winning white sand beaches. Interstate 75 is just minutes away, making it easy to visit family or travel to nearby attractions. | https://sunnysidevillage.org/about/ | 2021/11/30 21:59:42 | mC4 |

2021 School Year Uncertainty
It seems like just yesterday we were congratulating ourselves on making it through the 2020-2021 school year. Now, a brand-new school year is already here. Like August of 2020, this August brings some unknowns. Adults and children are feeling excited, nervous, relieved, maybe even anxious as we head back to school.
"Expect the unexpected" is still the most reliable advice!
With that in mind, here are some supportive ideas and strategies for parents to consider now from our psychology team:
Some learning loss is expected for many children. Even so, it's important to keep worries about your school-age child "being behind" in perspective—the truth is that all children, families, and schools have been impacted, stressed, and disrupted like never before. The idea of what is typical or expected for each grade level is likely to adjust quite a bit.
The return to an academic "normal" is going to take time. It may even take more than one school year.
Remember that children watch us (the adults around them) for hints about how to feel and act. They tend to copy our moods, body language, and words. Just like last year, try to model a positive attitude and flexibility in new situations!
When you find yourself feeling overly frustrated and not-so-flexible (when yet another unplanned change is announced), make an effort to vent privately to other adults and out of earshot of the kids.
When your child expresses sadness, you can say, "It's okay to feel sad and disappointed about ___ or to miss ___" and agree that this is a difficult time. Help your child name what he/she is feeling.
Listen and reassure. Exact answers may not be possible, but you can still help your child feel heard. Right now, reassurance may not sound like the standard "Don't worry, everything is fine!" It could sound something like, "Yes, I can understand why you're worried about ___. I worry about that too sometimes. Let's think of some little things we can do today to keep that worry from taking over."
Think about the daily things that you and your child can control and offer as many choices as possible. This could be as simple as choosing colors for back-to-school supplies! Feeling in control of one small area of life helps us manage our feelings when other areas feel scary and unpredictable.
Last, we do know that the pandemic, as it looks today, will not last forever.
Through these experiences, we are gaining new skills and unimaginable levels of adaptability. Because of all we navigated last year, we start this season much better equipped and prepared in comparison. Every new school year has its own challenges to overcome. We will support each other through this one, too!

0 | example_544 | I've been doing a bit of archaeology on the Book Search (Book Search) thread and there are a lot of users with only a handful of posts and it got me to wondering how many active users are this site.
I know the definition of 'active' is hard to define, but I'm assuming there are statistics somewhere showing how many people logged in or how many have posted over some time period.
Also, what happened to those statistic boxes that showed the total number of members and number of posts?
I'm actually not sure - it depends on what time range you're using to define it. I *think* we have a few hundred who visit daily, and over a thousand who visit semi-regularly. There are also quite a lot of members who visit irregularly.
There are a lot of inactive members as well, though - I've previously culled a lot from the memberlist, and I'll do that again soon. Though big figures look impressive, smaller but more accurate and representative figures IMO make for better statistics.
There's also a segment of users who often never register or do and never post who regularly read a forum. So they might not be active in talking, but they do read posts and content on a regular basis.
Btw, just to clarify - when I say "active users" I'm referring only to registered members. As Overread points out, a lot more members visit than post, and even more people visit without posting. So even if no one replies to a post, you can usually be assured that many people have read it - both members and non-members.
If I were to speculate what an active user is, I would say that it is someone who at minimum visits most weeks. --- I want to add something about posting, but I can understand how a person could very well consider themselves active by keeping abreast of a thread or two and never adding to the discussion. | OSCAR-2019 |

3 | example_35290 | With more members, more Classified Ad postings, and more deals being done, there have been more misunderstandings. I don't have the time to police transactions that went bad because people didn't keep records, or failed to ask for insurance, or failed to request an inspection period.
I have written an extensive guide to Online Classfieds that explains how to shop smart and avoid getting burned. I also explain how sellers can protect their interests, and avoid the common complaints that buyers raise.
If you use our free Classifieds in the Marketplace section, please read this article from start to finish.
As the number of transactions in the Forum Marketplace has grown dramatically, we've seen some misunderstandings arise, despite the many guidelines we have in place. When there is a problem, most of the time it relates to shipping delays or damage in transit. But there have also been issues involving description of a sale item, or confusion over the terms of the deal.
1. Don't buy expensive items if the seller does not provide good photos or a complete description. Copy the text of the ad and write down any additional communications with the seller.
3. With rifles, stocks, and electronic items, insist on a reasonable inspection period. 3-5 business days is reasonable for a gun or stock.
5. Don't go ballistic if you post "I'll take it" and you don't get the deal. The seller may have received other offers by Private Message, email or other mode of communication. The seller also has the right to evaluate details of the transaction (and your offer) before committing to sell. Remember, if you never paid anything you don't have a loss. Man up and move on. Don't post negative feedback simply because you didn't snag a bargain.
Know What You're Buying! Make sure there are good product photos and a complete description of the product. For example, with a rifle, make sure the chambering, twist rate, barrel length etc. are fully explained. Copy the text of the advert, and KEEP RECORDS of everything the seller tells you! That way, if the item you receive is different than what was advertised you'll have 'evidence' to support your return request. I would say that in two-thirds of the 'problem transactions' that have come to my attention, the buyer never saved a copy of the original advert, and failed, as well, to save his email interchanges with the seller. I've seen situations where a buyer claimed to be entitled to extra parts along with a gun, but he had no evidence that such items were ever part of the deal.
Check the Seller's Credentials and Trade History Check out the Trader Feedback on the seller of the product. In our Marketplace section, both buyers and sellers can leave feedback on a transaction. Check out the seller's credentials before you buy.
Do Your Pricing Homework-- Find out the "ballpark" value of an item before you agree to purchase. That way you'll protect yourself from paying too much, AND you'll have an early warning on possible scams. The old adage is still true: "if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is".
Ask for an Inspection Period: By all means, negotiate an inspection period for expensive items. I personally would never purchase a gun, barrel, stock, or action without some inspection period. I cannot over-stress the importance of the inspection period. Most sellers will allow an inspection period on an expensive item. Just make sure you understand which party must pay return shipping if you decide to send the item back. The inspection period gives you a chance to take a close look at the product. That is key. I would say 95% of the disputes presented to me as Forum Boss (other than late delivery questions) would have been eliminated if the buyer had asked for an inspection period. I recall one situation where the buyer complained because a gun's barrel turned out to be shorter than it appeared in a photo. With an inspection period, he would have protected himself.
Insist on Insurance and Tracking -- If you're paying more than $50.00 or so for an item, tell the buyer to include insurance and insist on shipment tracking. It's a sad truth, but expensive stuff gets lost, delayed, and damaged ALL the TIME. Among deliveries we've received ourselves, we've seen damaged stocks, bent barrels, and broken optics. The process of package shipping can do some serious damage, believe me.
Be Patient and Don't Freak Out if Items Are Delayed -- It is not that uncommon for packages to take as much as three weeks to make it across the country, even when shipped 'three-day' or priority mail. Unfortunately all the carriers -- USPS, Fedex, and UPS -- will have a badly stalled shipment now and then. I frequently get frantic emails from Forum Members saying "the item I bought off the classifieds hasn't arrived. The seller is a crook and I want you to burn down his house -- right now!" In some cases such messages arrive only a few days after the ship date. I tell these members to initiate tracking and wait three weeks before going ballistic. In 99.5% of these situations, the goods eventually arrived. Of course, once it appears an item is really delayed, get in touch with the seller and have him chase down the problem. If, after a month has passed with no delivery, instruct the seller to file an insurance claim. If the seller refuses to do so, or it really appears he failed to ship, contact the Forum Boss. He will contact the seller, and, if necessary, turn the matter over to the authorities.
Use Secure Payment Methods -- Never send cash in a mailed envelope, not even certified mail. Certified mail is really not that secure. For major items, we suggest using postal money orders, delivered via Fedex. This does give you some recourse in the event of a fraudulent sale -- though it is certainly not easy to get the USPS to go to bat for you. If you purchase from a business, use a credit card if possible. The major credit card companies can reverse the charges if you fail to receive an item you've paid for, or if the seller refuses to take back a defective item.
"I'll Take It" vs. "Meeting of the Minds" -- Many buyers are disappointed when they post "I'll take it" and the deal doesn't go through, or the item sells to someone else. What buyers need to realize is that there has to be a "meeting of the minds" between buyer and seller on all the material (important) terms of the transaction before the seller is obligated to sell. Price is only one term. There are many other factors that may need to be worked out. For example, the gun may not be legal to ship to a particular jurisdiction. Or, the cost of shipping may exceed what the would-be buyer is willing to pay. While it is always disappointing to lose a good deal, shoppers can avoid disappointment (and keep their blood pressure at safe levels) if they realize that simply posting "I'll take it" does not, normally, close the deal.
1. Provide a thorough product description and multiple quality photos. Normally your ad should include an asking price. Always disclose any noteworthy flaws in the product before you take the buyer's money.
4. Check out the buyer's feedback, and make sure you agree to the proposed method (and timing) of payment.
5. Reserve the right to evaluate multiple offers, and state clearly that you are NOT committing to do the deal until all important concerns are worked out. Tell buyers that you retain the right to say "no deal" if the buyer is not qualified, or if you and he fail to agree on essential terms such as method of payment, insurance, and inspection period.
Provide Plenty of Good Photos and Disclose Defects -- Good photos are really important. Good photos will help you sell your product faster, and get the best price. Moreover, clear, sharp photos eliminate potential misunderstandings. You don't want to post a fuzzy photo and then have the buyer balk because the real stock appears different than the picture. If there is a major ding in the stock, show that in the photo. Under our Forum rules, you are required to disclose damage or defects that would affect the utility or the value of the product. Don't be sly and try to cover something up -- that's unethical and it only results in eventual conflict with the buyer.
Qualify Your Buyers -- You are not obligated to accept the first offer, if you state you reserve the right to approve potential buyers. If an offer comes in, check out the potential buyer's feedback on the Forum, and you might check on other sites as well. A little research can save you big headaches later.
Ship Promptly -- After receiving payment, try to pack and ship the item within four (4) days of the payment, an no later than one week. If you are paid by check, ship within four (4) days of the check successfully clearing your bank. The number one complaint among Marketplace buyers is that the goods they purchased did not arrive in a timely fashion.
Insure Your Shipment -- For any item worth more than $50.00 we would insure the shipment. This will protect against a lost shipment and will compensate for damage that may occur in transit. Recently we've seen too many rifle stocks damaged in shipment. You can safeguard against this by double boxing and carefully padding the item, but your ultimate recourse is via insurance. Be sure to insure for true replacement cost.
Include Insurance Costs -- Because we consider insurance essential for nearly all items, you should include the cost of insurance in your asking price. This way, if the buyer foolishly refuses to pay for insurance, you can still afford to purchase coverage. If you don't include insurance in the asking price, have a statement such as this in your ad: "Buyer is responsible for actual shipping cost, including insurance and tracking fees."
Get Tracking for Your Package -- With some modes of shipment, tracking is an optional extra. Fedex tracks everything by default. But if you ship USPS, you may have to pay extra to get tracking. Again, we recommend you always get package tracking for items worth $50.00 or more. Include the price of tracking in the statement of shipping costs. If you don't build that into the asking price, then at least include the following in your advert: "Buyer is responsible for actual shipping cost, including insurance and tracking fees."
Pack the Item Securely -- If you want to avoid disputes with purchasers, pack your items very securely. You should pack items to survive a 12-foot drop and an afternoon in the rain. If you are sending extra parts (such as scope rings) with a gun, bubble wrap them separately and secure them in the box so they will not shift around. I had one nice blued revolver come back from a smith. The smith had placed the gun in a foam-padded box with the old trigger parts he had replaced. During shipment, the trigger parts scraped back and forth on the gun, ruining the high-gloss blued finish. Stocks are particularly vulnerable. We suggest placing a stock between heavy form layers, or make a cardboard "splint" to protect the exterior, and to shield the forearm tip and the vulnerable wrist area. Then bubble-wrap the entire stock and put it inside a heavy shipping box. When sending a rifle, we strongly recommend you ship the gun in a plastic hard case, then place the case inside a second, heavy duty-cardboard box. Before shipping, make sure the buyer understands who is paying for the shipping box. We recommend stating right in your advert: "In addition to actual shipping costs, I will charge $XX for a shipping box."
Disclose Concurrent Listings -- Buyers get upset if they see an item, post "I'll take it", then find that the item has already sold. For this reason it is MANDATORY for all Marketplace sellers to disclose if the item is for sale elsewhere. What does that mean? Well if you are listing the gun on GunBroker.com, or on another shooting Forum, or if you even have it up for sale in your local club newsletter, you need to disclose that. This eliminates misunderstandings.
Reserve the Right to Say "No" to Any Offer Even if a buyer posts "I'll take it", there are many potential reasons why you may not want to sell to that party: 1) he may not be eligible to own the item; 2) he may not agree to an acceptable mode (and schedule) of payment; 3) he may have negative feedback, or otherwise have a bad reputation; 4) after discussion, you may conclude your product is really not suitable for the buyer, despite what the buyer may think; 5) the buyer may try to change the terms of his offer during negotiation. As the seller, you are entitled to say 'no deal' in these (and many other) circumstances. But this will upset some buyers and they will complain. To avoid complaints, you should include language in your advert that gives you an 'out' when the offer is flawed or the buyer is not qualified. In your ad you should include a line saying that you reserve the right to consider multiple offers, and that no deal is final until you review the buyer's qualifications, and until both parties agree to all important aspects of the transaction.
Here is language you might use: "This item remains for sale until ALL arrangements are finalized with a buyer I deem, in my sole discretion, to be qualified. I reserve the right to consider multiple offers, and no offer will create a binding contract until I am satisfied with buyer qualifications, mode and terms of payment, and until all details of shipping (including insurance, packaging requirements, shipping costs, and risk of loss) are worked out. [Optional ADD: This item is offered for sale on other internet sites.]"
Or, if you want something less legalistic, you can simply state: "No deals are final until we work out all the details over the telephone. Be aware there may be multiple offers on the table."
It's a good write-up, but when U ask the seller if he still has the item and he replies back that he does and you say that you'll take it, and he asks you how you want to pay for it and you tell him, then he turns around 45 minutes later and sells it to someone else, that doesn't cut it, right TAC. | OSCAR-2019 |

F.D.A. clears Pfizer vaccine
The Food and Drug Administration's emergency authorization on Friday night of the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech has set in motion the most ambitious vaccination campaign in the nation's history. This weekend, 2.9 million doses of the vaccine are to begin traveling by plane and guarded truck from Pfizer facilities in Michigan and Wisconsin to chosen locations, mostly hospitals, in all 50 states.
The first injections are expected to be given by Monday to high-risk health care workers, the initial step toward the goal of inoculating enough Americans by spring to finally stop the spread of a virus that has killed nearly 300,000, sickened millions and faltered the country's economy, education system and daily life.
The fast development of the vaccine, and its authorization based on data showing it to be 95 percent effective, has been a victory of medical science, but much in this complex next stage could go wrong.
The Pfizer vaccine needs to be kept at minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit, and the special boxes it is being shipped in can be opened no more than twice a day, in order to maintain the deep freeze. Side effects, like achiness or headache, could cause some of the nurses, doctors and others who are first in line for the vaccine to miss a day or two of work, challenging overburdened hospitals.
States say they have only a fraction of the funding they need from the federal government for staffing to administer the shot, for tracking who has received both doses of the vaccine a booster is needed three weeks after the initial injection and for other crucial pieces of the effort.
"Our teams are on standby, ready to pivot," said Dr. Anne Zink, Alaska's chief medical officer. Most of the state's allocation will be delivered to a central location and then flown in small amounts, often in tiny planes, to far-flung hospitals and clinics that will need to quickly administer it.
Preparations for this moment have been months in the making. Military planners have looked at a range of potential obstacles, from large-scale protests that could disrupt traffic to poor weather conditions. In an emergency, officials are prepared to use military airplanes and helicopters to deliver vaccines to remote locations.
For all the planning, and contingencies, there is still a good deal of confusion. States are receiving initial allocations according to a federal formula based strictly on their adult population. But many hospitals say they still don't know exactly how much they will get or when the shipments will arrive.
"It's really been a lot of the unknowns about the logistics," said Dr. Jeffrey A. Smith, the chief operating officer for Cedars-Sinai, noting that the medical center was also treating the highest number of Covid-19 patients it had seen since the pandemic began in March.
Other hospital systems are reeling from the news that their initial allocations will be much smaller than they had hoped. The Cleveland Clinic, one of the 10 hospital groups in Ohio that are receiving the first batch of vaccines, is expecting only 975 doses in an initial shipment, even though it has more than 40,000 employees around the state. | https://news-9.com/f-d-a-clears-pfizer-vaccine/ | 2021/09/19 19:39:36 | mC4 |
2 | example_53155 | This Startup Takes Your Old Clothes And Makes Completely New Thread From Them | Co.Exist | ideas + impact
Several big brands, like H&M and Eileen Fisher, now take back clothing in their stores. But Evrnu co-founder Stacy Flynn says they don't necessarily have second uses for it. "It's piling up and they don't really know what to do with it. We have places for clothing to go, like rags, insulation, rugs, and those kinds of things. But regeneration has not been commercialized yet."
"Right now there's a limited number of things you can do with that clothing on return. This technology offers a way for [brands] to keep these resources in their supply chain."
Flynn started the company in 2011 with Christopher Stanev, a textile chemist and engineer. A 16-year veteran of the clothes industry, Flynn had become concerned by the impact of so much fabric being produced and then thrown away. On a particular trip to China, she was shocked by the level of fabric-related pollution, and became convinced of the need for "a way of breaking down waste and getting it back into the front-end of the system."
Since 2011, Flynn says there's been a shift in how the industry thinks about recycling. H&M for example offers clothes made from recycled materials, and designers are experimenting with modular clothing (so we use clothes for longer). But she says breaking down and cleaning the waste to make new yarn offers wider possibilities.
Evrnu is planning a factory and hopes to be in production by the end of next year. It has one pilot brand partner that it won't name. "One of the things we're looking at is 'Can we can create local fiber production where waste is accumulating?' That's what we're going to be piloting in January." | https://www.fastcoexist.com/3051183/this-startup-takes-your-old-clothes-and-makes-completely-new-thread-from-them | 2017/02/22 03:53:38 | mC4 |

Shams, S.; Shafi, S.; Bodman-Smith, K.; Williams, P.; Mehta, S.; Ferns, G.A., 2008: Anti-heat shock protein-27 (Hsp-27) antibody levels in patients with chest pain: association with established cardiovascular risk factors. Clinica Chimica Acta; International Journal of Clinical Chemistry 395(1-2): 42-46
Antibody titres to several heat shock proteins (Hsps) have been shown to be associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but there are no data for Hsp-27. We developed an ELISA for total IgG antibody concentrations, applying this to individuals with and without acute coronary syndrome, and have assessed the relationship between antibody levels and individual coronary risk factors. Blood was collected from 63 healthy controls without a history of chest pain or CVD and 60 patients admitted to hospital with acute cardiac chest pain on admission and approximately 12 h after the acute event. Patients with chest pain had significantly higher Hsp-27 antibody levels than controls [median 0.16 (range 0.01-0.51) vs. 0.10 (range 0.00-0.32); p<0.001]. Furthermore, Hsp-27 antibody concentrations showed strong associations with age and hypertension (Standardised beta coefficient=0.343, p<0.001 and = -0.235, p<0.016, respectively), but not with other established cardiovascular risk factors. Logistic regression analysis showed age and diabetes were significant predictors of risk of CVD with OR 1.29 (95% CI 1.16 to 1.42, p=0.001) and 25.9 (95% CI 2.14>312, p=0.01) respectively. Raised antibody levels to Hsp-27 were associated only with age and hypertension.

Great RI animal welfare laws ! NOT!
Nationwide media attention on this Amelia Ferreira dog killing case and all this does is teach animal abusers that they can kill a dog, put it outside to decompose in a plastic bag and not be charged with animal abuse. Amelia Ferreira of Cranston, RI has dogs of her own and she's not even going to be punished appropriately by having her own dogs removed and/or losing her job ???
Ferreira works for Off Leash K9 Training LLC...

https://www.youtube.com/user/OffLeashK9Training/about
#OffLeashK9TrainingLLC Dog Obedience Training
Off Leash K9 Training ⚠️🔴"is known for the high level of obedience in real world environments; however, we also specialize in behavioral modification, nosework/detection, protection, service and therapy dog certifications, and K9 tracking training! Give your dog the professional dog training he/she needs to be a happy member of your household. Create a more comfortable environment for your family with an obedient dog." ⚠️🔴
How does this training facility screen the "high level" trainers? Why are they using SHOCK COLLARS TO TRAIN DOGS? An "E-COLLAR' is just a nice term for what they really are, SHOCK COLLARS. Did the dog drop dead of a heart attack from the collar? The shock collar was found outside on an open trail with no signs of it being forcibly removed. So who took it off --and why? Did the dog die right there on the trail because of that shock collar? Does anyone know if this company's Providence office location is also behind the cover-up???
Amelia Ferreira and the owners of Off Leash K9 Training LLC should be put on trial in front of a jury to get the truth out regarding exactly what happened to KNOX! How many other dogs has Ferreira and other Off Leash Trainers tortured and abused?
A much closer look needs to be taken of the dog training facility and how they do their trainer hiring. What background checks did they run on Ferreira? Did Off Leash K9 management ever visit Ferreira's home and do wellness checks? Did Off Leash K9 ever visit Ferreira's home to see how she cares for dogs? What were Ferreira's professional dog training qualifications? What does her resume look like? When the RISPCA went to Ferreira's home they: "seized five Maltese dogs from Ferreira's home. The dogs were living in the basement, matted and dirty, according to the agency."

Rachael Duarte/Gouveia Charged w/ 17 Counts of Animal Cruelty, Dismissed on 48A- 1 Count Not Legally Operating a Kennel- Pleads NOLO, Pays Fines
As Warwick Watch previously blogged back in February: Rachael (Rachel) Duarte living at at 26 Floyd Ave in East Providence was arrested and charged with 17 counts of animal cruelty and 365 counts of operating as a breeder and pet shop without a license. Duarte's house was loaded with cats dogs and puppies of various breeds, living in filthy, squalid conditions. Duarte's kids were sleeping on mattresses in the basement.
Judge James J. Caruolo once again gives out the ole animal abuse wrist slap.
In April, Rachael Duarte/ Gouveia started a Go Fund Me and even tried raising money to supposedly get a service dog back, but didn't get a single donation.
According to ABC6 news:
"EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — An East Providence home is now condemned after dozens of cats and dogs and other animals were removed from the filth.
Officials boarded up the home on 26 Floyd Avenue after a building inspector deemed it unsafe.
East Providence Animal Control told ABC6 News they removed 20 dogs, 22 cats, a bearded dragon, and a mouse from the home. Animal Control says the dogs were covered in feces.
As a result of the animal control call, 40-year-old Rachael Duarte was arrested for simple assault on an officer and disorderly conduct. Animal-related charges against her are pending.
Officials would only comment that they were taking the animals for "their own safety." A veterinarian said they seemed to be in good health, despite some fleas and worming.
DCYF was also on the scene assessing a 17-year-old's living situation in the home.
Duarte was arraigned in Providence District Court Friday and was released on $1,000 personal recognizance and referred to the pre-trial services unit for a mental evaluation."
According to WPRI 12:
"East Providence Animal Control last month seized dozens of animals from Duarte's Floyd Avenue home, including 22 cats and 20 dogs. Conditions at the house were so poor the house was condemned on the spot by a building inspector.
Court documents reveal police were notified on Jan. 12 that a "suspicious looking white van" pulled up to the home and dropped off a load of puppies in filthy conditions.
Police said Duarte told them she had gotten the dogs - 17 puppies and 1 bulldog - off of Craigslist. Investigators said that wasn't the case.
According to police, Duarte rented the van and conspired with an unknown person to pick up the puppies in Arkansas. Court documents state the puppies were transported "inhumanely" in the van in "crates too small for all the puppies to freely move, while covered in feces."
The court dismissed the 365 counts of operating as a breeder and pet shop without a license so Rachael Duarte/Gouveia could plead NOLO to just one count, and was fined accordingly. The 17 counts of animal cruelty were dismissed on a 48A.
The judge allowed Duarte/Gouveia to have her two service dogs back. She paid $2500 in restitution and $641.75 in fines. She is not allowed to operate a kennel or breed any animals and she no longer lives in East Providence as the house was immediately condemned the day of the arrest.
Another Animal Abuse Case, Another Slap on the Wrist by the R.I. Judiciary
Judge James J. Caruolo final order for Donna Vessella, the woman who dumped a cat next to a dumpster like trash, that ended up frozen to the inside of a box, fine of $96.75 and community service. The male cat was found Feb. 2 next to a dumpster at Bayside Apartments on Sandy Lane in Warwick.
Vessella plead NOLO.
The Rhode Island Judicial system apparently does not take animal cruelty, abuse and neglect seriously. It is time for some major legislative reform to the R.I. Title 4 General Laws.
The people of Rhode Island cannot, should not, and will not tolerate lax judicial outcomes when it comes to animal cruelty cases.
Police Records and Photos from the Recent East Greenwich/Coventry/Exeter Pitbull Cruelty Case
A few of the Eugene Michael McQuade dogs found at 525 Hill Farm rd Coventry property from the 1/20/2018 arrest. Eugene Michael McQuade plead NOLO before Judge Sarah Taft-Carter on Thursday, April 26, 2018 with the judge dismissing 24 out of the 25 charges of animal cruelty against McQuade. Some of the dogs found back in January 2018, were found by police locked in cages in the basement of an empty home, where urine and feces was also found according to police reports. The cages also showed signs of the dogs trying to chew through them to break themselves free.
All photos and police records from the 1/20/2018 arrest below were released via a public records request by the Coventry police department.

0 | example_33944 | Groundwater pollution due to agricultural practices is a prevalent issue in irrigated areas all over the world. It is becoming increasingly important in regions of California where contamination is high. Efforts to control this problem are exemplified in Section 83002.5 of Senate Bill SBX2-1 that defines a mission to “improve understanding of the causes of nitrate groundwater contamination, identify potential remediation solutions and funding sources to recover costs expended by the State, to clean up or treat groundwater, and ensure the provision of safe drinking water to all communities.”
The high mobile rate of nitrate and the potential for additional nitrogen movement in the form of gaseous ammonia released into the atmosphere threatens water and air quality. This concern draws attention to the need for methods and tools to evaluate nitrogen transport in agricultural areas.
The goal of this study is to develop a framework to promptly characterize nitrogen and water dynamics in agricultural fields. This is accomplished through a distributed sensor network (DSN) system of robust site instrumentation that, when joined with physical sampling, can measure nitrate leaching below the root zone, plant nutrient uptake, and the nitrogen lost to the atmosphere through ammonia volatilization. By successfully calculating these fluxes of water and nitrogen, this control system can deliver the optimum amount of fertilizer to minimize leaching of nitrate and other losses of nitrogen, while maximizing yield and water use efficiency.
The first stage of this project produced some variable results. A redesign was later implemented to increase efficiency. The Center for Irrigation Technology staff and Fresno State students are currently working on installing and implementing the updated system on the testing fields at Fresno State. At least three specialty crops will be used during this stage of the project. Fresno State students will work with researchers to collect data from the specialty crops to analyze for consistency and accuracy. Soil moisture sensor data will also be collected and compiled with nitrate readings. Flow and watering schedules will also be recorded to track water use and efficiency. | https://orchardroofing.co.uk/roofing-company-bedlington.htm | 2021-03-02T10:53:19Z | OSCAR-2109 |

Coalition options for Merkel narrow as Greens pull out of talks
Conservative leaders said the Greens withdrew from coalition talks after concluding that differences were too large to overcome.
Written by New York Times | Berlin | Published: October 17, 2013 1:24:06 am
Chancellor Angela Merkel's options for building a new German government narrowed Wednesday after one of two potential coalition partners withdrew from talks,setting the stage for a possible grand coalition of her conservatives and the centre-left Social Democrats.
The decision by the Greens,one of the potential coalition partners,not to pursue further negotiations with Merkel's party,the centre-right Christian Democratic Union,and its Bavaria-only sister party,the Christian Social Union,does not mean that negotiations with the other potential partner,the Social Democrats,will be any swifter or easier. But it increases the pressure on the conservative bloc to compromise with the Social Democrats,who are demanding a high price for participation in a government.
Conservative leaders said the Greens withdrew from coalition talks early Wednesday after concluding that differences over crucial issues,including a minimum wage,tax increases and changes to the public health insurance system,were too large to overcome.
"We had to accept after these talks the Greens' position that they are unable to recommend we enter into formal coalition negotiations," Hermann Gröhe,general secretary of the Christian Democrats,told reporters. "We respect that,but at the same I think that these talks were important in terms of better understanding the other side."
Although Merkel's conservatives won a plurality with 41.5 per cent in the September 22 elections,they fell five seats short of a governing majority. The Greens,who got 8.4 per cent of the vote,won enough seats to create a majority under Merkel if they entered a coalition.
If Social Democrats,who won 25.7 per cent of the vote,enter into government with the chancellor's bloc,the Greens will become a main opposition force,along with the Left party. The Greens remain one of the youngest parties in Germany's political landscape and have never governed with the conservatives at the national level,although there have been coalitions between the two in municipal and state governments. Despite their roots in the leftist and environmental movements of the 1960s and '70s,the Greens have recently appealed to a more centrist audience,and the idea of a coalition had sparked the imaginations many younger conservatives.
Nevertheless,a majority of Germans said even before the September vote that they preferred a government made up of the conservatives and the Social Democrats. Merkel governed in such a grand coalition of the two largest parties from 2005 to 2009,a period that many credit for the stability that set the country on a course to weather the global economic downturn largely unscathed. | https://indianexpress.com/article/news-archive/web/coalition-options-for-merkel-narrow-as-greens-pull-out-of-talks/ | 2020/02/25 22:58:57 | mC4 |

Lawrence native leads medical team to Africa
Lawrence native Capt. Greg Saturday was one of the leaders of a U.S. Army veterinary contingent that recently treated more than 200 camels in West Africa.
Saturday grew up in Lawrence, and graduated from Lawrence High School, Kansas University and Kansas State University. He was one of two who led four veterinary teams into Mauritania in West Africa last September.
The doctors conducted eye and dental examinations on the camels, which are used by the Seventh Regional Mauritanian Military Command. Doctors also performed cataract surgery and tooth extraction. And, the team conducted blood tests for trypanosomiasis, a disease commonly found in camels.
The veterinarians are with the U.S. Army Veterinary Service, 100th Medical Detachment, in Heidelberg, Germany. The operation, a MEDFLAG exercise, was an opportunity for the U.S. military to train and execute military veterinary skills in an austere environment.

2 | example_51935 | LS-G6 data loggers are changing the way we monitor projects
Worldsensing LS-G6 long range radio data loggers are changing the way Australians are monitoring their projects. Now implemented on major projects in every state in Australia, the system is proving its reliability and ease of use.
Geomotion Australia are utilising the system to monitor train stations in Perth; highway developments in Ballina and Adelaide; dams in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Tasmania, as well as processing plants in Western Australia and schools and high-rise apartment buildings in Melbourne.
Through simplicity, low-to-no maintenance requirements and low cost, the LS-G6 system is bringing automation and remote data access to sites where previously the cost and practicalities would have been prohibitive.
The LS-G6 models are capable of reading Vibrating Wire (VW), analogue and digital sensors. This means that on a single site we are monitoring groundwater, cracks, structural health and pile deformation with the same data system, each with a low-profile autonomous data logger recording and transmitting the data.

Although you can easily play any music on a radio or a player with just one click, your partner will appreciate you ten times more when you play the song by yourself! If you really want to make an impact on that special day, start practicing songs you can cover using your violin. If you don't have one yet, you can either borrow from someone who does or go to your nearest violin shop and purchase your own.
To give you something to start with, here are the top five songs from influential artists that you can play on your violin for all romantic events.
Perfect Songs for a Romantic Vibe
Released back in 1961, Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley was for sure one of your parents' theme songs. It was so popular that it exceeded an order of over one million copies. It also topped several charts garnering the number one spot.
Tune in to this violin cover and start practicing now! Serenade your partner or loved ones so they cannot help but fall in love with you.
We all see our partners as someone perfect. Why not express it through a song? Perfect is a song from Ed Sheeran's third album, Divide. It landed first on both the United Kingdom Singles Chart and United States Billboard Hot 100 back in December 2017.
Violin musical sheets are available online for free or to better hone your skills, check this trending violin cover.
A Thousand Years was recorded by Christina Perri for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. But since then, it became widely used for wedding occasions and even for courtships. Whether you are just new to the relationship or have been together for a long time now, you deserve to celebrate a thousand years.
Hop in and watch this violin song cover of A Thousand Years.
What a wonderful world it is to play this on a romantic occasion! What a Wonderful World was sung by the infamous Louis Armstrong in 1967. It topped the pop charts in the United Kingdom but did not do much in the United States. But after it was released again in 1988, it hit the 32nd spot on Billboard Hot 100.
Last and not least is All of Me by John Legend. The R&B and pop song that has the catchy lyrics "All of me loves all of you." It was the best-selling song in 2014 with over 12.3 million sales all over the world.
Hear the mix of both violin and guitar cover here.
Celebrating a milestone is never complete without romantic music playing in the background. These top five songs are the essential hits that will never go wrong during times of celebration. Get up, practice, and train your bowing skills with these music for any romantic occasion! | https://hollywoodchicago.com/blogs/35616/5-songs-you-can-play-on-your-violin-for-any-romantic-occasion | 2021/11/27 12:58:38 | mC4 |

Few things compare to sipping drinks by a crackling fire with your closest friends - especially if you're cozied up at one of the hottest bars in NYC. Cocktails and fireplaces go hand in hand, warming discerning New Yorkersas the icy crux of winter bears down upon the city. Here are a few of the best:
With more than 750 varieties of toasty brown liquor, their classic Sazerac is a great everyday tipple, especially when it's cold out. Beyond cocktails, their menu of rustic starters and inspired main courses are sure to satisfy - as is the nightly live jazz.
197 Second Avenue
The epitome of cozy, this East Village pub has tasteful vintage touches, intimate lighting, and a welcoming fireplace to warm beside. Wintry highlights include the Hot Toddy (Scotch, green tea, cinnamon, honey, and orange), and the Applejack Brandy Mulled Cider.
Often considered "the most authentic Irish bar in the city," Molly's serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with a roaring fireplace at its heart. Their burgers are famous, but the Corned Beef is also great. For drinks, just tell the bartender what you like!
This West Village mainstay marries local art with craft cocktails and a menu of elevated pub fare. The Cajun Popcorn Shrimp and Vegetable Curry Samosas are great to share, while the Pumpkin Pie Martini is a must-try if it's still on the seasonal menu when you visit.
Venture down to Tribeca for this impressive catalog of all things boozy, where the foisgras and sushi are almost as tasty as winter cocktails like the Russian Caravan, crafted with pine-smoked tea and bourbon. | http://www.hyattunionsquarenyc.com/blog/things-to-do/wintry-nyc-cocktails-the-cozy-manhattan-bars-to-find-them.aspx | 2017/09/21 17:47:23 | mC4 |

Kolkata, Oct 16 Congress President Rahul Gandhi's proposed visit to the city during Durga Puja has been cancelled due to his campaign schedule ahead of the elections in the five states, said a senior state party leader on Tuesday.
Gandhi was supposed to visit the city on Ashtami (the eight Lunar day) on Wednesday.
"His visit has been cancelled. The central election committee has convened a meeting for selection of candidates for the upcoming elections in five states," party's West Bengal unit President Somen Mitra said.
The Congress Chief, in a message, said, "I had wanted to be present in Kolkata to offer prayers to Maa Durga and to participate in the puja celebrations, in great city of joy, with all of you. Unfortunately, the upcoming state elections and crucial preparatory meetings for them, prevent me from travelling out of Delhi at this time." | https://googly365.com/rahul-gandhis-visit-to-kolkata-during-durga-puja-cancelled/ | 2019/08/25 03:53:17 | mC4 |

0 | example_79456 | This summer I carried around “The Hunger Games” and “One Thousand Gifts”. Seems like an unlikely pair, right? Sometimes I was in the mood to read one and sometimes the other, and sometimes I was in the mood to read some of both. If you know anything about these books you know that they are both good, but quite the opposite. And then I read the very end of “Mockingjay” (the final book in The Hunger Games series), the ending of the epilogue….
“I’ll tell them how I survive it. I’ll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because I’m afraid it could be taken away. That’s when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I’ve seen someone do. It’s like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years. But there are much worse games to play.” -pg. 398, by Suzanne Collins.
Although this is not exactly what Ann Voskamp means with her 1000 gift lists, it was a reminder to keep counting. Even when the world and what is happening in it could seem a nightmare, there is hope. Jesus is that Hope. He is that Goodness. Just and Holy, and Good.
Counting the thanks might seem a bit tedious or repetitive at times, but it is an running account of grace.
Let the game continue…
Much more than game; as Ann says, habit.
The habit that is grace as it counts grace.
The grace that changes.
The hard, the lovely;
pausing and turning it back, to praise….
The One.
#2841 The honor of worshiping along side dear friends and 70+ teenagers.
#2842 The sheer exhilaration of running down a sand dune full speed.
#2843 For a camper who wasn’t going to go up the dunes, then decided to…for second chances- not missing out on adventure, challenge, and making a lifelong memory.
#2844 The joy in seeing followers of Christ use their talents to advance the Kingdom.
#2845 For Ben’s kindness in letting me use his very nice keyboard to worship with this summer.
#2846 For moments like these…dried up clay from clay pits, and the craziness of camp life; ministering as a family.
#2847 For their song (Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman) coming on when he had a few moments at the house…for them dancing like this; for time slowing, just for a moment.
#2848 For the freedom to teach them, and the strength and grace He gives to do it.
#2849 For the IDSC for Life photos that are posted on facebook. For the reminder of how much I love my bro and am thankful for his amazing life.
Thank you LORD, for the hard…the beautiful….and the beautiful hard.
The wait for Baby that at times seems endless. There has been “no news” for a few months now. The “no news” status is in some ways harder and in some ways easier than the roller coaster of a lot of news, but there is a missing piece, a missing person that seems just out of reach.
And there are the subtle, and not so subtle, reminders.
Seeing her name in books, on screen.
The posts and statuses of others adopting- having babies on horizon, almost in arms, or in arms; such joy and heartache blended together strong.
The empty crib and rocking chair that sing a haunting and beckoning melody.
The birds (namesake) that feed and fly in back, above, and around…reminder to hope…she’s coming, someday, she is coming.
But You. But You say this, and so much more…and we wait with the strength that only You can provide,
“But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.” -Micah 7:7
And as You keep repeating in Ezekiel….I do this (the consequences and blessings, creation, covenant and compassion; all this) “that you will know that I am the LORD.”
Thank You.

0 | example_12162 | Two funny guys presenting concepts and techniques that will turbocharge your jiujitsu. Nic and Kit are both very comfortable with the camera and with working with each other. The sound quality is crystal clear and the two black belts wear white and black gis respectively, working on light and dark grey mats so the HD quality of the picture is very high.
I have never met these gentlemen but I have known Nic online for a few years. This review is based solely on my own opinions.
The DVD starts with the two black belts discussing how the contents will become tools for the learners to develop their own jiujitsu, with technique examples of course.
1. Transitional Pressure: Nic explains how maintaining pressure on the opponent not just from positions but also during transitions between positions can extend your opportunity to attack. The example presented is transitioning from side mount to knee on belly. Nic shows how to maintain the pressure throughout the transition by correct hand placement and body weight distribution. The second such example is attacking the turtle with the snap-over from the seatbelt grip.
2. The Fisherman: Trying to pass the De La Riva guard, Kit shows how to correctly recover your posture and grips using your deadlift motion.
3. The Quadrant: starting with Kit on his hands and feet with knees bent, like a table, Nic explains how and why a table with three legs is far less stable than one with four then proceeds to show how this applies to, for instance, to sweeps from the X-Guard and toppling someone back from the combat base.
4. Post, posture & leverage: Kit explains how this principle replaced the need to remember individual sweep from multiple positions. He builds upon the previous concept of quadrants and uses the example of butterfly sweeps: He identifies the post (controlling the opponent's sleeve), he pulls the head down and forwards (posture) then lifts with his hooking foot (the leverage) to finish the sweep.
5. The porcupine: strictly speaking, Nic explains that this is a Luta Livre concept. The idea is to use the points & edges (spikes) on your body and align them against the softer parts of theirs. An example is lining the edge of your wrist against their throat from any bottom or even top position.
6. Nullifying the guard pull: specifically for competition jiujitsu, Kit shows how this particular method of breaking posture will nullify the guard pull and, more likely than not, give you the two points for the take down.
7. The corkscrew: pulling and pushing with the arms, Nic shows how incorporating a rotating, corkscrew motion into arm extension and retraction adds more stability and structure to your pulls and pushes. Examples include Rickson Gracie's technique for escaping hip switch side control and Kron Gracie's lapel drag from open guard
8. Weight distribution: Embody these principles and you’ll never get swept. By reverse engineering the quadrant principle and predicting where the guard player wants to take you, you can counter their intentions with your weight distribution.
9. Collapsing and inserting structures: Frames are the heart of leverage in jiujitsu and Nic shows how reinforcing what you already have in place can make it is so hard for your opponent to simply collapse it and move around you. Similarly, by collapsing away your structures that the opponent is relying on using against you, you can take away their power to manipulate your body. Be water, my friend.
10. Double barrel shotgun: guard maintenance is key and this principle is a beautiful illustration of how to use your limbs independently of each other to always have something in the way of your opponent.
11. Open and closed chain: Figure-four locking your arms is one way to hide the end of the open chain that your arm is, effectively protecting that arm from attacks. That is one example of how viewing your limbs as chains can help raise your awareness of when you may be in submission danger.
12. Removing leverage: Kit rehashes the scenario of rolling with someone who feels like a truck and explains how their actions to jam your levers can make them feel that heavy.
13. Spinal torque: Nic's coach, Roger Gracie, is a master of this. Get the spine off alignment and your opponent's power, strength and explosiveness will drop drastically.
"In a fight, only one person can be comfortable. Your primary job is to take the comfort away from your opponent and transfer it to you" Rickson Gracie
14. Size specific strategy: Do you play the same game against all shapes and sizes of opponents? Ever tried to toreada against someone much taller than you only to get countered or even reversed / back-taken? Use the strategies in this segment to pick the right strategy against the right opponent.
15. Border Patrol: Think about your torso and its borders. Who / what is patrolling those borders? Building on the double barrel shotgun concept and multiply it up a few levels, Kit shows how and why you need to always patrol your borders (defensively) and always attack your opponent's border controls (offensively).
16. Loading the spring: If you want to pull, push first. If you want to push, pull first. The magic is in the how and Kit shows you here how to do it in such an invisible way that even higher level jiujitsu struggle to resist it.
17. The pendulum: Nic explains here how you can use throwing a part of your anatomy to create momentum such as the leg for sitting up and the head for changing sides for sweeping from open guard.
18. Take-down postures: We've all noticed that certain throws work on certain opponents and not on others. Kit shows in this segment that more than the person, it's the way they are standing at that particular moment and he shows three categories of takedown postures and the appropriate techniques that go with them. Very cool concept.
19. Hip-centric movement: Lead your movement with the hips. It's easier said than done, but with the guidance Nic gives in this segment that allows you to visualise what this all-important principle means and how to utilise it in your jiujitsu.
20. The misdirection: Grip-Fighting! Kit shows how to misdirect the opponent's attention before reaching for the grip you want. He uses his eyes, hands and feet to achieve this. As a bonus, he gives great advice on correcting your position from the seated guard so your grips win the race.
The copy that Nic sent me is a rough copy so this part might change with the final copy: With the end of the last technique, the DVD ended abruptly. There was no outro or credits. Considering that this (excellent) DVD was just under an hour long, I would have liked there to be at least a link to a website with some extension work from the two black belts, or at least to their respective YouTube channels where, evidently, they post many more examples of these concepts.
Overall, a fantastic volume content wise that leaves you hungry for more and more. I don't know if there is or will be a part two but I sure hope so.

Man City star Kevin De Bruyne could claim Guinness World Record this season
City have broken multiple records in recent years but the Belgian playmaker has his sights set on a personal achievement.

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold entered the history books this week, becoming one of the latest recipients of a Guinness World Record.
The youngster was a creative force for Jurgen Klopp's men, assisting 12 goals in the 2018/19 Premier League campaign, a record amount in England's top division for a defender in a single season.
His achievement was recognised with a place in the Guinness World Record 2020 edition.
While Alexander-Arnold is often Liverpool's main source of creativity, Man City's Kevin De Bruyne often plays the same role under Pep Guardiola.
Man City star Oleksandr Zinchenko confirms his engagement to TV presenter Vlada Sedan
The Belgian has been in the form of his life this season and may have a place reserved in the 2021 record book if his impressive performances continue.
De Bruyne has chipped in with eight assists after just eight games of the season meaning the Premier League assist record is well within his sights.
Arsenal icon Thierry Henry is the current record holder, providing 20 goals for his teammates in the 2002/03 season.
The 28-year-old is currently averaging 1.21 assists per 90 minutes meaning the record is definitely achievable provided he can stay fit.
Man City assistant Mikel Arteta identifies Phil Foden's best attribute
Guardiola's rotation policy may play a factor but with Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez in excellent form, he shouldn't worry about City's forwards misfiring.
The City star has already set one Premier League milestone this season, becoming the fastest player to reach 50 assists, reaching the landmark in just 123 matches; 18 matches quicker than the previous record holder Mesut Ozil. | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/de-bruyne-world-record-news-17097478 | 2022/05/20 17:44:57 | mC4 |

Beachfront rebuild gets green light after secret meeting
Cr Brian Stockwell said legal advice was relaxing this building line in the sand will not set a precedent for other developments in the street.
A property owner in one of Sunshine Beach's most exclusive streets will finally get to tear down an existing house and build a new two-storey home within the erosion prone coastal protection area.
The new Noosa Council last night accepted legal advice and gave ground on previously held serious erosion concerns, paving the way for Brett McKenzie Mason to redevelop his beachfront site at 54 Seaview Tce.
Mr Mason had appealed the previous council's development application refusal last year, triggering an appeal to the Planning and Environment Court.
Councillors in general committee last Monday went behind closed doors to discuss legal advice to settle the appeal, subject to Mr Mason accepting a raft of strict building guidelines.
That culminated in unanimous decision yesterday afternoon at the ordinary meeting backing the council planning staff's about face.
Noosa's lost developments: What never got off the ground
Development rejected top protect area's character
"I think it's important to acknowledge that settling this appeal is based on legal and professional advice," Cr Brian Stockwell said at Monday's general committee meeting.
"We have been assured as a council that this does not set a precedent under the existing or any future amended provisions relating to the current coastal hazard adaptation plan that we are likely to be going to the community with in the near future."
The proposed replacement building presented at Seaview Tce to Noosa Council.
The key council objection was the new build would be seaward of the coastal building line which is generally 15m from the seaward boundary.
"Recent modelling carried out by the council indicates significant erosion is likely to occur in the future which may threaten life and property should the proposed development proceed," a 2019 staff report said.
A side view of the plans presented to council last year at 54 Seaview tce.
"Given the site is affected by the coastal building line and is located in a highly vulnerable erosion prone area, the proposed 6m setback is not sufficient to minimise the risk of erosion."
Proposed council conditions adopted yesterday are for the new building to include a footing system and erosion protection system designed to withstand a 500-year average recurrence interval storm event, combined with shoreline recession due to sea-level rise predicted by 2100 under climate change.
P & E Law lodged Mr Mason's Planning and Environment Court appeal last September.
Among the grounds listed for upholding the appeal are there is no greater risk to person or property in allowing the development to proceed than if the existing house was retained.
Mr Mason maintains council had recently approved similar positioned developments at 50 and 52 Seaview Tce and his proposed building placement is an improvement on the existing building as it is setback further from the seaward boundary.
His legal submission said all the allotments in Seaview Tce are built to the same rear alignment while there has been approvals on his land for buildings constructed in 1973 and 1995. | https://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/council-relaxes-building-line-in-the-sand/4144398/ | 2020/11/23 19:35:42 | mC4 |

3 | example_43911 | Top tips on will writing from Shrewsbury expert
Peter Savage of Deedsafe Wills & Legal Services in Shrewsbury shares his top tips for getting your Will done properly. Here are some of the most important things you may want to consider:
1: Ensure whoever draws up your Will is suitably qualified. Not all Willwriters are.
2: Chose the people who are acting in your Will carefully. Executors are the people who will make sure all your wishes within your Will are carried out. Guardians take over parental responsibility for any minor children if both parents are killed.
3: You may wish to leave sums of money or specific items to family, friends, charities etc. Have you decided upon how much and to whom? Also if you are making gifts to a charity ensure that you have their Registered Charity Number.
4: Who is to receive the rest of your estate and in what quantities i.e. equal shares, percentages. Do not use specific sums of money in this section of the Will. If you are leaving anything to children, at what age are they to receive it? Also think about what would happen should any of your beneficiaries die before you.
5: Always store your Will somewhere safe and make sure your Executors know where it is.
6. Ensure that your Will(s) are reviewed often (approximately every 3-5 years) or in the event of a change to your personal or financial circumstances. For example, the birth of a child, acquiring a large sum of money, divorce and of course marriage. This is extremely important as marriage voids any existing Will(s). | https://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/shrewsbury/community-hub/blog/view/top-tips-on-will-writing-from-shrewsbury-expert/ | 2020/02/25 14:44:35 | mC4 |

Any time you here an SEO company bragging to you and trying to insist that they are the best at making companies websites to be the most viewed ones in a matter of days, them you need to take some time before you choose them. This is if you do want to find the best SEO company for you. This is because there is no SEO company anywhere that can predict what will happen after your website is out there in the internet. Take care that you do not in any way choose this kind of a company. The reason why you should not choose this kind of a company is because you might end up being banned from the search engines as a website because the SEO company may have used the wrong ways to make your website have so many views.
There are some closely guarded secrets which are in the form of algorithms that many search engines will have and will keep changing from time to time. There are certain things that an SEO company will normally work on which will be plain and simple hard work, proven principles, bet practices and intelligent guesses. Make sure that you run as fast as possible to the other side and start looking for another SEO company if the one that you have found is giving you empty promises like telling you that they will be able to help you for your website to be the first one to be seen once a person searches on the internet.
For very negligible amount, you will find some companies offering a lot of their services to you. If you think that you may be getting a deal that is too good with an SEO service providing company, make sure that you check on that because you might probably be getting exactly that. An SEO company should not have a deal that is too good to be true because there are way too many people involved who may be inclusive of content developers, content managers, administrators, web designers and others who have specialized in their areas of expertise so that they may be able to offer quality services. | http://foodcurious.us/2018/05/06/interesting-research-on-tips-what-no-one-ever-told-you/ | 2018/12/15 20:09:52 | mC4 |

Award winner Drew McDonald demonstrated 'inspirational commitment and belief'. Picture: Newsline Media
Drew McDonald said: 'My goal as a nurse is to ensure that every child that attends our department is given the best care possible. We should treat the families as if they were our own, and I knew we were not good enough at dealing with sepsis.'
The award, supported by Nursing Children and Young People, was announced at a gala ceremony at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London.
Senior nurse for NHS Grampian Caroline Clark, who has overall responsibility for the children's hospital and the neonatal unit, nominated Drew for the award. She said his commitment and leadership has ensured its success and inspired the trust's nursing community. | https://rcni.com/nursing-children-and-young-people/newsroom/news/sepsis-tool-wins-drew-prestigious-child-health-award-84336 | 2020/09/25 06:59:37 | mC4 |
3 | example_30951 | I was recently contacted by The Toronto Star business reporter Susan Pigg to provide some insight into what I am observing in the Toronto condo market. The most current numbers released by TREB indicate that Toronto real estate sales volume was up 21% and along with prices up 5.5% summer 2013. That surprised a lot of people especially given recent attempts to slow down the market by implementing stricter mortgage rules. I was happy to oblige with Susan's request and found my name in print this week which is always a compliment and much appreciated.
Her story reflects a trend I've recently noted with first time home buyers personally in my day to day business.
Although there is no doubt that there are households accumulating debt the types of young first time home buyers coming to my office certainly don't fit that profile.
They aren't debt laden youth addicted to credit with out of control consumer spending habits. These first time home buyers who typically focus on the condo market due to affordability, have paid off their student debt and carry very little credit if any. They either have their cars paid off or have opted to save instead of owning an expensive vehicle.
In talking to them it's clear that they have opted to make home ownership a goal earlier in life and worked hard to save the required 5% to 10% for the down payment.
Financially Responsible Profile
I admit that there could be a lot of reasons why I am observing the financially responsible profile this summer.
Maybe the cautionary reports and headlines about the dangers of credit are resonating with young people.
Or perhaps there is a lot of self screening happening. There is a tonne of information available online and younger borrowers who are comfortable searching and learning online might be "self diagnosing" their credit worthiness and ability to own before applying.
In any event these credit worthy smart and savvy first time home buyers have made a difference which is reflected in part by the recent sales data.

playstation 5sonyvideo gamesxbox series x
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launch in a few short weeks, and an abundance of gamers are trying to secure their preorders ahead of what's sure to be a sparse holiday supply. It's easy to get caught up in the next-gen hype, confusion, cynicism, and anxiety. Here's a secret, though: You might be better off waiting to buy your system(s) of choice.
While I'm confident both the PS5 and Xbox Series X will eventually blossom into appreciable steps forward for the gaming industry, the good news is you don't have to upgrade just yet. A lot of people are still unconvinced that these new consoles are worth the upgrade. In fact, most people probably shouldn't buy either console at launch, even if they can afford one. It's a good idea to wait for at least a few months. Here's why.
You need a really good TV to get the most out of the new consoles
The PS5 and Xbox Series X can render games at 4K resolution with HDR, high frame rates, and ray-traced lighting. Games will surely look impressive on both consoles, but unless you have a TV or computer monitor that can also pull off 4K HDR and high refresh rates, a lot of that visual flair will be lost.
Decent 4K TVs aren't difficult to come by anymore, but only a little over one third of all TV-owning US households have a 4K TV thus far. We can assume, then, that a large portion of people playing a next-gen console will need to buy a new TV along with their new console to see the full benefits.
Buying a new console is expensive at the best of times, but 2020 has seen a deadly pandemic and record-breaking natural disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, and snowstorms. Worse, the full force of the economic fallout has barely begun to hit us. Paying $US300 ($412)-$US600 ($823) for a new console, another few hundred for a new TV, plus $US40 ($55)-$US70 ($96) per game will be a prohibitively expensive package for many people. And that's not even adding in any extra accessories you might need or want, like controllers, headsets, charging stations, cameras, et cetera. If you wait a while, you can spread those purchases out over time without putting yourself in debt to the tune of a grand or more.
Pre-ordering is a nightmare; patience is easy
Between COVID-19 wrecking the economy, reports of manufacturing issues, and unexpected (and haphazard) availability, the PS5's preorder situation is a mess. Most online preorders are selling out within moments, and scalpers are flipping the console for over double the MSRP. Launch day and holiday supplies will likely be slim as well.
The Xbox Series X and S will, hopefully, be easier to buy ahead of time. The next-gen Xbox models will go up for preorder on September 22 for all retailers. They'll likely sell out in mere seconds, but at least that gives everyone time to prepare.
If you aren't able to preorder a new console ahead of launch, your next option is to wait in line the day they go on sale, but I really don't recommend this. Waiting outside for hours in late November — often overnight — is a bad idea in general, but especially amid a pandemic.
There will be more PS5s and Xboxes after launch, and they'll be easier to get as the months go on. The same can be said for the Nvidia's RTX 3080 or whatever other sold-out hardware you're eager to get your hands on.
Save yourself the trouble (and the chance of catching a potentially deadly virus) and just wait for supply levels to normalize. Many of the games you'd be playing on the new consoles will be available on the hardware you already own anway.
Yes, you can play most next-gen launch games on PS4, Xbox One, or PC
If you're struggling to preorder a new console due to low supplies or financial strain, your PS4 and Xbox One will be able to play many of the biggest new titles well into 2021, if not longer.
Unlike most console generation leaps in the past, many of the early PS5 and Xbox Series X titles will also be on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and even the PC day-and-date.
First-party PlayStation 5 games also releasing on PS4:
First-party Xbox Series X games also releasing on Xbox One:
Psychonauts II (Also coming to PS4)
Tetris Effect: Connected (Also coming to PS4 on 2021)
Note: All first-party developed Xbox Series X games will also be available on PC at launch via Game Pass on PC.
Those are just the first-party games that will be playable on older hardware that we know of so far; the list compounds when you factor in third-party cross-gen titles and older PS4/Xbox One games that are getting rereleased on the new consoles.
Sure, the PS4/Xbox One versions won't run as fast on the older consoles and will lack the 4K, raytracing, and high frame rates promised by the PS5 and Xbox Seris X — but most of these titles can be upgraded to the next-gen editions for free once you have a new console (just make sure you're buying the correct version).
There aren't many exclusive games, anyway
To be clear, cross-gen support is a wise, consumer-friendly business decision. But it also highlights the biggest issue both of these next-gen consoles face: lack of original, console-exclusive games at launch.
Of the PS5's launch lineup, only Astro's Playroom, Demon's Souls, and Destruction All Stars are true PS5 exclusives, while the Xbox Series X has… nothing. You can play all the Xbox Series X launch games on PC or Xbox One instead.
Games will obviously look and play better on the new consoles, and there will be plenty to play thanks to a large library of backward-compatible and cross-gen games on both platforms. But the whole point of new consoles is new games you can't play anywhere else, and there just aren't very many of those yet.
If you're not sold on either box yet, rest assured you can hold off on these new consoles at least until they are more widely available and their libraries have expanded a bit. | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2020/09/why-its-better-to-wait-for-that-next-gen-console/ | 2021/07/25 10:10:25 | mC4 |

Ocean Spray goes big for 'blue' launch
June 14, 2010 by Alexandra Bruell
LAKEVILLE, MA: Ocean Spray is launching a campaign for the national rollout of its new blueberry-flavored drink, a departure from its cranberry-flavored product portfolio and positioning.
Following a six-month testing period and quiet shelf launch last December, the team, including AOR Weber Shandwick, is introducing the product to media and consumers via an "out of the blue"- themed event and partnership with JetBlue Airways.
"This is something new for us, so our whole theme is 'out of the blue,'" said Dorree Gurdak, SVP and head of consumer in Weber Shandwick's Cambridge office. "We really want as much national exposure as possible to create awareness and drive trial."
On June 14, the team unveiled a 38-foot model of the new product at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and plans to release video and photos later in the day. Due to security at the airport, the team will transport it to Greeley Square Park in New York City on June 15, where consumers can view it up close and sample the new product, as well as win prizes from JetBlue. Gurdak explained that the airport location signifies that the product "has arrived," and it made sense to partner with the airline because it ties in with the "blue" theme.
"Initially, we thought, 'how do we create a lot of noise with something blue?'" said Larry Martin, VP of marketing at Ocean Spray.
The team had approached JetBlue for a flight sampling opportunity that will take place throughout July, an idea inspired by Terra Blues Potato Chips, the airline's official snack, he said.
He added that the team hopes this campaign will potentially secure a similar long-term deal with the airline.
"What really brought the idea home was…if [blue chips] could be the official snack, could we be the official beverage?" he said. "We're not at that stage yet, but if we can prove that this is a really good relationship, we could continue doing business with JetBlue."
TV ads for the new product, featuring the cranberry growers who appear in the cranberry beverage ads, launched last month. Martin noted that the team wanted to build the PR effort around National Blueberry Month in July.
The team will leverage JetBlue's Twitter and Facebook following to promote the campaign, as well as conduct media relations throughout the summer. The team will also use the launch of the blueberry product to build its Facebook presence.
*Correction: This story initially stated that the team had invited national media to JFK airport. Due to security issues, there will be no media at the airport site. We regret the error. | https://www.prweek.com/article/1267429/ocean-spray-goes-big-blue-launch | 2019/02/16 15:57:42 | mC4 |
0 | example_70803 | What type of quilting should I use.
This is half of a long table runner. Okay, what type of quilting. I am thinking echo (like Hawaiian quilting). If the background was more structured, I would follow that design. I do not want basic free motion, nor wreaths/flowers, etc. Ideas please.
Hand or machine quilting? (Just curious!) What type of batting – how close must the quilting be for your batting? Are you thinking an overall quilting design?
Am picturing echo quilting, but of a wave – doing a pretty wave then echoing it across the fabric. Maybe with some detail quilting within the fish and the echo quilting in the background.
latte lady: Quilted fish for dinner? MMMMMMMM
Echo quilting of wave sounds good…or perhaps concentric 'circles' fish would make as it jumps out of water–using outline of fish for curve of concentric stitchings. Totally agree with detail quilting, fish scale maybe, inside fish. Are you using medium or lightweight batting?
Biology 101. Orcas do not have scales. They are mammals. Beautiful, amazing and intelligent mammals.
I really appreciate the feedback. I am leaning towards a wavy quilting line. Maybe with a 'splash' thrown in here and there to follow the batik pattern. I am putting a bit of padding beneath the Orcas before I outline quilt them. For a light trapunto effect.
Medium batting
I have a feeling this will end up as a wall hanging. The recipients live in San Francisco, but both are from the pacific northwest with our beautiful northwest Indian art. If you watch "Grey's Anatomy" you see a lot of this art on the hospital walls. So shall ask if they want me to put a sleeve on the back.
My gardener has been following my quilting on FB and yesterday asked if he and his wife could come by some evening and look at some of my quilts.
The small orca shows the stitching I am using on the orcas in the table runner. The big pic shows a bc quilt which has a lot of trapunto bc ribbons on the side, which obviously does not show in the pic. It is hanging on the wall of an oncologist's office on the east coast. Each of the hexagons was pieced by a female relative.
Again, thank you for your input. I am going with waves!
OH yes, this is machine quilted. I save my hand quilting for the fancy commissions.
Wow, I typed "wave quilting pattern images" into google and got some really interesting things! Quilts, as in piecing patterns too of course, but there were some VERY interesting quilting patterns, (as in quilt stitching patterns) mixed in.
I loved this one, but it would be pretty difficult on your quilt. Maybe some aspects of it? http://www.sylvia-pippen.com/workshops/workshop-descriptions/
I reallyyyyy liked the one called "SS1016 – Simple Wave Stipple 1" on this site: http://www.quiltrecipes.com/pat_res_keywords.php?pageNum_PatMain=139&totalRows_PatMain=1475
http://www.legacyquilting.com/show/matrix/1219
https://www.baysidequilting.com/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=4950
There were many more too! I'd think inside the whale would just be echoing the pattern like Pete said. Very cool work lattelady!
All ideas have been looked at, highly appreciated and put into my mental file cabinet. A couple of them would make masterpiece quilts on their own.
oops! didn't recognize the Orca for what it was. . .
Bonita, not a problem. This is traditional stylized art. Some of them I have to look twice at myself. More than once I have stood in front of a totem pole and had to think hard, rummaging through the old memory bank, what is this. Then, the light comes on.
Here, in the oceanless flat lands of Illinois, we are lucky to have a (real, authentic) totem pole! It is of the Kwanusila, the Thunderbird of the Kwagu'† First Nations tribe. The crests carved upon the totem pole represent Kwanusila the Thunderbird, a whale with a man on its back, and a sea monster.
From the plaque which explains its origins: Kwanusila is an exact replica of the original Kraft Lincoln Park totem pole, which was donated to the City of Chicago by James L. Kraft in 1929. The totem pole stood in Lincoln Park until it was moved in October 1985. Some years before the pole was moved, historians had discovered that a pole of its type did not exist among the poles preserved at the Provincial British Columbia Museum located in Victoria, B.C., Canada. Arrangements were made for a duplicate of the Chicago totem pole to be made by the same Amerindian tribe that made the original. The duplicate is carved in Red Cedar by Tony Hunt of Fort Rupert, B.C. Chicago arranged to keep the duplicate and present the original totem pole to British Columbia.
I can tell you, first hand, that the original, and its replacement, have made a great impression school children. | https://chickensintheroad.com/forum/primitive-crafts-country-style/what-type-of-quilting-should-i-use/ | 2020/10/27 17:51:25 | mC4 |

Welcome to Pacific Permanent Hair Removal (formerly known as North County Hair Removal), San Diego's premiere permanent hair removal professionals.
Electrolysis is the proven safe and effective method of permanent hair removal. It is recognized by physicians as well as the American Medical Association. First developed in the United States in 1875, electrolysis is still the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Electrolysis eradicates hair by introducing a sterile, disposable probe into the hair follicle. A slight amount of electrical current is then applied through the probe, thereby destroying the hair root and ending future hair growth.
Electrolysis improves one's physical appearance and self-image. Permanent hair removal is the preferred choice in today's fast-paced world. Electrolysis saves time and money, especially when compared to temporary hair removal methods.
For permanent hair removal, electrolysis is the best choice. It's the proven, safe and effective method for all skin tones and all hair types. Electrolysis is recognized by physicians as well as the American Medical Association.

ATP is produced only in living cells during photosynthesis and cellular respiration and consumed in cellular processes including biosynthetic reactions, motility and cell division. It is a key indicator of cellular activity and has been utilized as a measure of cell viability and cytotoxicity in research and drug discovery. The EnzyLight™ Cytotoxicity Assay Kit provides a rapid method to measure intracellular ATP, cell viability and cytotoxicity. The single working reagent lyses cells to release ATP, which, in the presence of luciferase, immediately reacts with the Substrate D-luciferin to produce light. The light intensity is a direct measure of intracellular ATP concentration and hence number of living cells. This non-radioactive, homogeneous cell-based assay can be conveniently performed in microplates. The reagent is compatible with all culture media and liquid handling systems for high-throughput screening applications in 96-well and 384-well plates.#2#http://biotech-map.com/aa_search/table_sample.html?q=EnzyLight%E2%84%A2%20Cytotoxicity%20Assay%20Kit&filter= | http://www.antibody-antibodies.com/product_det.php?id=2921913&supplier=search&name=EnzyLight%E2%84%A2%20Cytotoxicity%20Assay%20Kit,%20Rapid,%20bioluminescent%20luciferin_luciferase%20based%20assay%20for%20cell%20viability,%20proliferation,%20cytotoxcity,%20high_thro%C2%B5ghput%20screening%20for%20anticancer%20agents | 2018/06/22 17:06:46 | mC4 |

0 | example_27433 | What Is Light And Energy?
by John Willmott - January 05, 2019
Through my previous 'Awareness' article I touched on a role of those we may call 'lightworkers', but what is it they work with?
Some of us may regard those who call themselves 'lightworkers' as an odd bunch of folks living a kind of 'higher realm than though' reality. A bit unfair really, but any abilities any of them may exclusively claim are within us all. We actually use them, if we could only slow down and recognise them.
People fascinated with and following 'ley lines' may regard themselves as 'lightworkers'. For example, they dowse them on maps, Ordnance Survey maps here, then may follow them, or at least visit sites they can access along the lines.
I became quite an addict of this for about 50 years, like a sort of cosmos train spotter, and even shared a couple of cycle rides with 'View Over Atlantis' John Michell during my late teens and early 20s.
I never called myself a 'lightworker' then, as this was a 'hobby' I picked up from a couple of uncles, great uncles, and an aunt. I was into ordnance survey maps, compasses and dowsing rings from 6 years old. My father was trying to sidestep all of this though.
From this hobby, this passion, I discovered that ley line followers tended to carry a belief that the earth has chakras and the earth has a crystalline grid, a kind of earth nervous system. From this it is often believed that the ley lines are the network of life energy on earth.
Some 'lightworkers' believe they can track these and define where both 'light energies' and 'dark energies' exist. Through this the earth is also approached like an acupuncturist approaches the meridians of a body.
Related to this are the people, including the 'ley hunter' people, who sense 'energies', 'karmic signatures', entities, beings, ghosts, and past conditions, when they enter some buildings, ruins, woodland, coast shore etc. They also serve to deal with these dark and dense energies with their compassion and loving presence.
Some may call upon the flames of saints and angels. There is a visualisation technique, I was once taught, to bring forth Archangel Michael's violet flame to prevent becoming overwhelmed by dark energies, and allow the violet flame of love to lighten an area, to cleanse it.
Why did I say I followed this for 50 years but not now?
That is a long article in itself, and I have a chapter or so explaining this in my 'Bathing In The Fae's Breath' book. To try and put this in few sentences ...
Due to a near death experience through a stroke, an experience called 'being touched by the Fae's Breth' in folklore, a kind of guidance there showed me how and why ley lines were a human made reality. Shown they were even a greed tool, and not part of nature.
However, the sensitivity of presence in places I still firmly believe in. I am now connecting that a lot to water and even water vapour in our air, but that's another book one day.
For now, I find myself storytelling from elements of feelings and visions from places I stand within. During Tree Labyrinth sessions at Carrowcrory I invite people to try something similar to this within the labyrinth, and maybe journal it.
This now brings me onto thoughts about 'frequencies'.
It seems that those who brand themselves as 'lightworkers' live lifestyles with intent to sustain keeping their frequencies high. They may feel this is important to sustain their abilities to love and raise lower, darker, and denser frequencies as they encounter them, more into light and love.
There is the essential polarity of dark and light to let be, though, like day and night, summer and winter, yin and yang.
My first art lessons at grammar school have stuck with me for life. The art teacher got us to draw multiple circles with large mathematical compasses. On the outside was the darkest of black and on the inside the whitest of white. Our project was to convert each ring between into the tranition between black and white, so this was a transition of grey circles.
Next, he got us to do the same but, first, break up the middle ring between black and white into 4 colours, red, yellow, green and blue. We then had to paint the transitions from black to white through each colour, to understand the light and darker shades of each colour.
He then explained how colour changes are 'frequencies', and why brown never appeared on these colour transcending paintings.
One of the important disciplines for anyone who slows down and becomes tuned into 'frequencies', is avoid indulgence in news media stories. You'll never leave your home if you indulge in those too much. I had an uncle this happened to seriously. He was an amazing chef, but had to live by his kitchen and his world became just both spaces. He could not face anything else due to sensory horror of news stories.
Ways to overcome this is develop ways to 'filter' and humour places, situations and information. Learning these skills are so essential for self care of our existence. Being able to mix with a few trusted friends from time to time also helps a lot. When online, enforce filters so that you only attract info and news that is of comfort to you.
My father and his family claimed to be clairvoyants. I suppose clairvoyants may also call themselves 'lightworkers' today? Personally, this side of their work constantly irritated me. I never figured out why, though.
I feel it may be a fear of people becoming very dependant on what clairvoyants say, and even shaping their lives to fit their messages ... rather than work it out from their own inspirations. To me, a clairvoyant reading could too easily be 'give me €50 and I will tell you how to shape your life'. I feel it's almost like a form of speed priesting!
I do believe in 'third eye' seering, though ... but as an ability for prophecy of our present, not our future. Good seering, to me, is being fully sensory of moments as they happen as each moment is shaping our future.
Clairvoyant prophecy may claim we will be rich and famous in the future, so meanwhile, we could just go to bed until then?
Even more challenging, could be believing an outcome, via a clairvoyant, may detract us from our perfectly healthy living process. We may trip up before any chance of unfolding potential. The clairvoyants also believing their prophecies could enter a tragic realm of self sabotage. I am saying this after witnessing this happen to sensory and talented clairvoyant friends.
Boosting or perceived reality to the level of prophecy of our 'third eye' is quite challenging. I feel we need to also balance this with creating from what is around us rather than what we faithfully believe the universe will provide.
How can we manifest a universe provided future from Facebook posts, for example ... but we can ask for help and invite collaboration and barter on twitter, facebook, and from our neighbours.
What blows me away are a few 'lightworker' claimants who claim to be holders of some kind of divine blueprint awakening the earth. You may ask, "I want the drugs they are on".
So what could a heavenly version of
human existence on earth look and feel like?
Perhaps one way is to pay attention to our dreams, or if you are fortunate to have them, your out of body experiences. Dreams and out of body experiences can seem like an infinite well of wisdom. They can clearly show that heavenly vision of living, as well as the not so heavenly too.
'Lightworkers', may create their vocations, their calling, their priestess and priest work from their dream visions. They also go on wonderful,dream quests to encourage these visions. Some use plants and fungi to tune in their spirit to this 'messaging realm' if they cannot manage it 'manually'.
I feel we are all 'mediums', but what are we mediums of?
I believe we are all 'mediums' if we can let go, form bridges to our dream links to consciousness, and live by its guidance.
Rather than acting on these visions, you may be a lightworker good at carrying messages.
These 'messages' need to be channelled into heightened creativity pursuits. The most immediate I can think of are journaling, sketching, getting a tune out with a musical instrument, or creating a form with mud, clay, or wood.
Becoming familiar with inspirations and exploring them, our prophesies of present become profound and very self-nourishing.
It may feel like we possess a global awakening, but we must realise it is just us and that others have access to their own awakenings, if they allow this.
Some may say we need these inspired 'lightworkers' to replace politicians, corporate business people, and their bankers. Some say there is now an abundance of indigo, rainbow and crystal children being born. Of course, we all like to convince ourselves that our children are special.
I believe all children born are special, but all equal. Its the inspiration shared by parents that seem to help with their kick start and spark into life and living.
Is there a wave of new teachers today? Are these lightworkers? Is this the time of the enlightened human who lives an outer reality reflecting their inner ispirations and dream world?
Are these inspirationalists living a transcended life?
They never seem to, or need to, plan for the future plan but trust that consciousness inspiration will always direct the. They seem to vocalise, "the universe will provide" endlessly. To them life is not survival but being.
Light and energy ... and knowing, is for all, and not exclusive to or taught by a chosen few. Its for our discovery, for everyone. There should be nothing to stop us allowing it ..
... except our sacrifice to those telling us what to follow.

Home Food & Drink The Best Thai Foods You Will Ever Try
The Best Thai Foods You Will Ever Try
Thailand is a hugely popular tourist destination. As a result, a lot of its historic culture has been modernized and westernized to include the creature comforts we are all used to. However, if you are visiting Thailand, you can also spend some time enjoying the original culture, which includes fantastic dishes. Since you can go to McDonald's in your own city, you may want to leave McThai (this is its actual name) aside for the duration of your vacation and enjoy some of these amazing, traditionally Thai dishes instead. Be warned though, the Thai people really like hot spicy foods.
Tom Yum Goong is full of fragrant herbs and really represents the aroma of Thailand. The dish is full of lime leaves, lemongrass, shallots and galangal, which is what gives it its wonderful smell. Additionally, the kick is provided by the fish sauce and chilies. To give it a bit of substance, the dish contains mushrooms and the traditional goong (shrimps). It is hard to describe the flavor, but it seems to mix sour and spicy hot perfectly. It is often served as a starter, but if you add some rice to it, you will have a very filling main dish as well.
Pad Thai is perhaps the most famous Thai dish of all. It is eaten all over the world and only very few people have never tried it. However, it is also a varied dish, with the traditional recipe having been changed regularly. Usually, however, it is a mixture of tofu, onion, bean sprouts and ground peanuts to go with a noodle dish. Pad Thai is generally a side dish. Additionally, if you order it in a restaurant, you will be provided with various elements to change it to your liking, such as sugar, fish sauce, extra crushed peanuts and chili powder.
Kuay Tiew is noodle soup eaten with chopsticks. It is a true Thai experience and if you are in Bangkok you should not miss out on the opportunity to go the floating market and try some straight from a boat. Everybody seems to have their own Kuay Tiew recipe variation, so you could eat it every day and still feel as if you never ate the same thing. Generally, however, it is created with thin noodles (although you will find some with thick noodles, too), in a meat broth. The meat could be anything, such as chicken, pork, duck, beef or seafood. It is a delicious dish that most people simply cannot get enough of.
Som Tam is a type of spicy papaya salad. It is traditional to the north east of the country, but it can now be eaten everywhere. Although a sweet and sour dish, just how sweet or how sour it is will depend on where in Thailand you eat it. It will always contain shredded green papaya and a lot of chilies. It combines really well with sticky rice and barbecued chicken, another fantastic dish that you could quite literally live on for your entire vacation. | https://gothai.asia/best-thai-foods-will-ever-try/ | 2022/05/20 22:31:28 | mC4 |
0 | example_72530 | Modern Day Pharisees | Living in The Spirit
February 8, 2016 UncategorizedDonna Warren
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel." Matthew 23:23-24.
Many have turned the Grace of God into a law of man. They are quickly offended when one refuses to condone their compromise but will just as quickly excuse the compromise with other beliefs. They are friends with the world and at enmity with God. When sin is mentioned, they fervently pronounce your judgment for being judgmental and declare you the Pharisee. They are blinded by a religious spirit. Their favorite scripture is Matthew 7:3, "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" Proudly they stand with the beam in their own eye judging those who point to sin and say it is sin. The Word of God has already declared sin as sin, not the one pointing to it saying that's a sin. They would rather sympathize with the enemy than to help win victories for the Lord.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:16-20.
People grow angry when their idols are touched and religious men most of all. "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." John 7:24. Christians are suppose to judge those who claim to be Christians according to the Word of God. We know them by their fruit. The Pharisees in the modern church are the first to reject God's grace by calling good evil and evil good. They condone the doctrines that embrace the world and see nothing wrong with something God has called sin. The world is filled with religion because the modern church would not righteously judge doctrine. They have attempted to unite what Jesus came to divide.
"They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error." 1 John 4:5-6.
Judge but judge righteously. Pray for discernment. Test the spirits. Do all of this according to the Word of God, not man made doctrine. The world doesn't like for one to touch their idols…especially the religious. You will know them by their fruits. | https://livinginthespirit.net/2016/02/08/modern-day-pharisees/ | 2022/05/18 01:01:16 | mC4 |

August 13, 2013 – When is it OK to make fun of the president? That was the question Sean Hannity asked his guests Tuesday night in light of the controversy over the Missouri State Fair's rodeo clown, who recently appeared wearing a President Obama mask. Former Republican congressman Allen West and chairman of the Missouri Legislative Democratic Caucus Steve Webb joined Hannity to share their opposing views on the matter.
Webb began by saying it "offended" him that "anyone would make a mockery" of the president of the United States in the way that this rodeo clown did and objected to the "racial" content in the portrayal. Hannity pushed Webb to define why he thought the portrayal of Obama was "racial" and the congressman pointed to the moment when someone walked up to the clown and "played with his lips."
While West said he didn't agree with the portrayal of Obama overall, he focused in on the "hypocrisy" he sees in what liberals choose to be offended by when it comes to "racist" caricatures of African-Americans. He said he didn't see the same outrage when there were similar depictions of conservatives like Condoleezza Rice, Michael Steele or himself. "I think that, you know," West said, "some people need to check themselves and stop cherry-picking what they believe is racially offensive."

Severe Symptoms: Effects may include delirium, psychosis, seizures, coma, hypotension, QRS widening, and ventricular dysrhythmias (including torsades de pointe), but are generally only reported in adults after large ingestions. Rhabdomyolysis and renal failure may rarely develop in patients with prolonged agitation, coma, or seizures. Death may occur as a result of respiratory failure or circulatory collapse.With higher doses, and particularly in children, symptoms of CNS excitation including insomnia, nervousness, tremors and epileptiform convulsions may appear; with massive doses, coma or cardiovascular collapse may follow.
Excessive use of menthol may lead to abdominal pain, vomiting, flushed face, dizziness, weakness, tachycardia, stupor, and ataxia.
Treatment of overdose should be symptomatic and supportive. Measures to promote rapid gastric emptying (with syrup of ipecac-induced emesis or gastric lavage) and, in cases of acute poisoning, the use of activated charcoal, may be useful. The intravenous use of physostigmine may be efficacious in antagonising severe anticholinergic symptoms.
Diphenhydramine possesses antitussive, antihistaminic, anticholinergic properties. Experiments have shown that the antitussive effect (resulting from an action on the brainstem) is discrete from its antihistaminic effect. The duration of activity of diphenhydramine is between 4 and 8 hours.
Diphenhydramine is a potent antihistamine and antitussive with concurrent anticholinergic and sedative properties. Experiments have shown that the antitussive action is discrete from H1-rececptor blockade and is located in the brain stem. The duration of activity of diphenhydramine is between 4 and 8 hours. The sedative mechanism for diphenhydramine is thought to result from antagonism of central histamine and cholinergic receptors. The time course for sedation following a 50 mg oral dose was associated with higher plasma concentrations, and was significantly different from placebo during the first three hours following administration. The pharmacodynamics of sedation was correlated with peak concentrations of drug occurring during absorption and the alpha distribution phase.
Menthol has mild local anaesthetic and decongestant properties. The mechanism by which menthol may act as an antitussive may be related to a strong stimulant effect on cold receptors in the larynx in the absence of cold air. It has been noted that substances which produce a hot sensation in the airway may stimulate the cough reflex, while menthol, which produces a cold sensation, has the opposite effect.
Diphenhydramine is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, reaching peak plasma concentrations from 47-153 ng/mL between 1.5 and 4 hours after a single 50-mg dose in adults. After multiple oral doses of 50 mg diphenhydramine HCl four times during each day to four subjects, minimum diphenhydramine plasma concentrations at steady state on the third day ranged from 57-150 ng/mL. Diphenhydramine and menthol are well absorbed from the gut following oral administration. Peak serum levels of diphenhydramine following a 50 mg oral dose are reached at between 2 and 2.5 hours.
Diphenhydramine is widely distributed throughout the body, including the CNS. The pharmacokinetics of diphenhydramine follows a two-compartment model in which the distribution or alpha phase is apparent over the first eight to ten hours. The volume of distribution adjusted by body weight is large for diphenhydramine at 14.0 L/kg (38%) for adults, 16.0 (32%) for adolescents, and 19.5 (28%) for children. Diphenhydramine is highly protein bound, with free drug concentrations of 24.0 ± 1.9% ng/mL and 14.8 ± 1.5% ng/mL measured in Asian and Caucasian plasma. In adults with liver disease, protein binding is lower, although the volume of distribution is comparable to healthy adults Following a 50 mg oral dose of diphenhydramine, the volume of distribution is in the range 3.3 – 6.8 L/kg, and it is some 78% bound to plasma proteins.
Diphenhydramine undergoes extensive first pass metabolism with an absolute bioavailability of 72% ± 8%. It is extensively metabolized in the liver by demethylation to N-demethyl diphenhydramine (DMDP), and the extent of DMDP measured in plasma is highly correlated with the clearance of diphenhydramine. DMDP is subsequently demethylated to N,Ndidemethyl diphenhydramine. Because only the latter, minor metabolic pathway of N,N-didemethylation appears to be mediated by cytochrome P450 2D6, diphenhydramine disposition in humans is not determined by CYP2D6 activity. Rather, clinical pharmacokinetics data suggest that diphenhydramine may be an inhibitor of CYP2D6 without being extensively metabolized by this cytochrome P450 isozyme. N,Ndidemethyl diphenhydramine is further metabolized by oxidative deamination to diphenylmethoxyacetic acid.. Two successive N-dimethylations occur, with the resultant amine being oxidised to a carboxylic acid. Values for plasma clearance of a 50 mg oral dose of diphenhydramine lie in the range 600 – 1300 ml/min, and the terminal elimination half-life lies in the range 3.4 – 9.3 hours. Little unchanged drug is excreted in the urine. Menthol is hydroxylated in the liver by microsomal enzymes to p-methane-3,8 diol. This is then conjugated with glucuronide and excreted both in urine and bile as the glucuronide.
Mean beta elimination half-life from 8.5 and 11.5 hours in adults have been reported in studies in which blood is sampled up to 24 to 72 hours. The half-life is increased to 13.6 ± 4.2 h in the elderly and to 15.2 ± 1.5 h in adults with liver cirrhosis. Little unchanged drug is excreted in the urine.
Mean oral clearances for adults after a 25- and 50-mg dose are 1041 and 1029 mL/min, respectively, having coefficients of variation of 40% and 35%. Oral clearance is about 50% lower in elderly adults. Oral clearance is 691 mL/min (32%) for children ages 2 to 11 years, and is 1251 mL/min (43%) for adolescents’ ages 12 to 17 years.
Pharmacokinetic studies indicate no major differences in distribution or elimination of dipenhydramine compared to younger adults.
The results of a review on the use of diphenhydramine in renal failure suggest that in moderate to severe renal failure, the dose interval should be extended by a period dependent on glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
After intravenous administration of 0.8 mg/kg diphenhydramine, a prolonged shelf-life was noted in patients with chronic liver disease which correlated with the severity of the disease. However, the mean plasma clearance and apparent volume of distribution were not significantly affected. | http://forum.doom9.net/showthread.php?s=e29e90ad82fa0bf07ebf677cd770a587&t=176234&goto=nextoldest | 2021-03-05T15:01:58Z | OSCAR-2109 |
0 | example_21905 | I am addicted to junk food, I did two years without the stuff once, but that’s a whole other story. Once I fell off that wagon it was all over. I still remember that fateful night, I had just moved out of home into a share house and one of the blokes living there offered me a piece of Cadbury Plain Chocolate, not wanting to be rude to my new house mate, I took it. I knew that night as I accepted those little squares and felt the welcoming sweetness melt into my mouth that I had just undone 2 years of hardcore chocolate-sobriety.
I am standing in my kitchen feeling hungry, it’s about lunchtime and there is no chocolate in the house. Damn. So instead I nuked an egg and chucked it between two stale pieces of bread and smothered it in tomato sauce and ate it, not high style dining, but food all the same.
I wasn’t really hungry but thought I could go another, this time the egg exploded in the microwave making a huge bloody mess. While cleaning up the egg mess I dropped the microwave dish into the sink full of dishes, nothing broke but the almighty crash woke up The Princess.
Got the Princess up and made her some lunch – a slightly healthier cheese & vegemite sandwich and celery sticks. I decided that I was still kind of peckish, in search of something quick, easy and not celery. I found the butter popcorn.
So I chuck it in the microwave for 3 minutes and walk off to try and prevent The Princess feeding the royal Border Collie anymore of her sandwich. Back into the kitchen and I open the microwave, smoke pours out of the door to greet me. Oh Joy.
So I turned off the smoke detector and took the popcorn outside. I decided the universe was trying to tell me something which was either; STOP EATING CRAP YOU DONT NEED! or possibly AVOID THE MICROWAVE, ITS OUT TO GET YOU!
I guess I have reached a point where all my clothes have simultaneously shrunk again... and I get puffed walking to the letter box... (It’s a 500m driveway before you judge me too harshly.)
It has now been nearly a week since I last ate chocolate. For me, that is a really long time. I have been having withdrawal symptoms too – a headache I can’t shift, irritability and midnight urges to drive the 80km round trip to a shop and sink my teeth into a big bar of Cadbury fruit & nut...
If I can go a week, I can go two, and three and so on, can’t I? My mother has always said, “Everything in moderation.” and that is fine, a true statement for many, but not one applied to alcoholics and I think one that may not apply to me as a chocoholic.
Breastfeeding my daughter has also left me boobless at an appropriate weight/ BMI and since I got hubby desexed am not having any more children, the last 3 times I’ve had this opportunity, I've blown it. This is my last ‘get out of fat free’ card and the time has come to make the decision.
By about blogging this, I feel it will help me stay on the straight and narrow and lose my Drab chocoholic status and turn it into a Fab health conscious one. I will also try and walk to the letterbox occasionally more often.
Are you a chocoholic too? How do you beat the cravings? How do you get the smell of burnt popcorn out of your house?
Would you like to join in on the Drab 2 Fab Link up? Simply head over to Diminishing Lucy and follow the prompts.
That was a masterpiece of a story! I'm not sure if I could give up chocolate myself, although I have brought it down to only chocolate cereal (they add vitamins, so it's okay ;) )
Oh, those kind of days are just awesome aren't they? I am not a chocolate addict, but I do have a penchant for salty foods- I can never have chips in the house! But I admire you for doing what you're doing!
For the microwave- Wipe your microwave out with a cloth dipped in water and vinegar, also, if the smell is in the air filters (as it probably is) microwave a bowl of water with some vanilla essence in it.
I have never had that popcorn problem in the microwave. I bought a popcorn maker thing so I can air pop it and it is supposed to be "healthier".
I definitely think the universe is trying to tell you something - the exploding egg, the burnt popcorn and the flat tyre - you have been told!
I totally admire your lack of chocolate for 2 years - that is incredible. The longest I have gone now is 5 months, but it seems to have helped me cause I can have the occasional chocolate now - meringues are another story for me.
I beat the cravings by using my 10 Things I want more list - If I can think of 10 reasons not to have the chocolate then I don't have it. The "rules" are if you can't think of 10 reasons then you are allowed to have it, but I have never had a problem coming up with 10.
There is nothing worse than burnt popcorn!!!! (says she having just eaten not one but two mini chocolate bars ....sigh ...)
Great storytelling! You poor thing, too many disasters and the smell of burnt popcorn is a shocker. I am so much better with food and choccie than I used to be... so only the wine to work on now...
I am a chocoholic and can cut back but have never quit for more than a week. My cravings have NEVER gone away.
What works for me is having it in the house and then when I want it making myself do something to burn off the calories first, and then seeing if I can put off eating it for 2 minutes, then another 2 or 3. Knowing it is waiting for me helps.

Will you devote the next few minutes to change your life? Will you think about your life and what you will make of it? Will you examine your belief system to determine why you believe what you believe? Will you dedicate yourself to do what will make your life richer, better, and more successful, even if doing so is hard work? Will you think with me about industry and diligence?
Movie Clip #1: "The Pursuit of Happyness"
Developing Your Industry and Diligence
[Directions: As you read, underline important lines of text. Pick main ideas or statements. You should have at least five phrases underlined at the end of the passages.]
Dr. Samuel Johnson - "What we hope to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence."
Menander (342 BC-291 BC) Greek Dramatic Poet - "He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor."
Richard Whately - "A man who gives his children habits of industry [hard work] provides for them better than by giving them a fortune."
Sir Joshua Reynolds - "If you have great talents, industry [hard work] will improve them: if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency."
Benjamin Franklin - "Industry [hard work] pays debts, despair increases them."
King Solomon [Proverbs 10:4] - "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth."
Chris in the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" must work very hard under difficult circumstances to succeed. His diligence on the road to success made his arrival sweet, enabling him to experience the joy of fulfillment. Diligence is the consistent application of effort to a worthwhile task. Webster defines industry as "diligence in a pursuit; steady or habitual effort." Diligence is the essential character strength for many aspects of life, but especially for work. Bennett says, "Work is effort applied toward some end. The most satisfying work involves directing our efforts toward achieving [goals] that we ourselves endorse as worthy expressions of our talents and character." If we want to be happy in this life, we must be happy in our working life. We spend about 25-30% of our adult life at work, preparing for work, or getting to or from work. To be happy at work, two tasks must be accomplished: First, we must find a vocation we like and are really good at. Second, we must diligently apply ourselves both to be trained in and to work at this vocation.
The opposite of industry and diligence is laziness, sloth, and idleness. Industry and diligence are two of the keys to being a good worker as well as accomplishing any task one might undertake. Ben Franklin in Poor Richard's Almanack stole a quote from Algernon Sidney [1622-1683], "God helps those who help themselves." Both were perhaps referencing Aesop's fable of Hercules and the Wagoner:
"A wagoner was driving his team along a muddy lane with a full load behind them, when the wheels of his wagon sank so deep in the mire that no effort of his horses could move them. As he stood there, looking helplessly on, and calling loudly at intervals upon Hercules, the god of strength, for assistance, the god himself appeared, and said to him, 'Put your shoulder to the wheel, man, and goad on your horses, and then you may call on Hercules to assist you. If you won't lift a finger to help yourself, you can't expect Hercules or anyone else to come to your aid.' Heaven helps those who help themselves."
Seligman and Peterson say, "Finishing what one has started, keeping on despite obstacles, taking care of business, …staying on task… – all refer to the strength of character we identify as …industriousness. Not as flashy a strength as bravery, [diligence] nonetheless shares with it the mustering of will to perform in the face of contrary impulses. Here it is not fear that threatens action but boredom, tedium, frustration, and difficulty, on the one hand, and the temptation to do something easier and perhaps more pleasurable, on the other."
Where do teens have to be diligent and industrious five days a week, 180 days per year? Where do we have to work very hard to apply this character strength? At school. How many times per day, while you are supposed to be working, do you think about the TV show you want to watch, the video game you want to beat, the sport you want to play, or the food you want to eat?
Your school is your job. How you apply yourself and show diligence in your schoolwork is how you will work when you get a job. So how are you doing?
When writing this curriculum, it was so difficult to stay on task! I'm ADHD anyway, but I can't take medicine for it because it increases my blood pressure. Thus I really struggled to stop doing the interesting things I like to do and sit down at the computer and write these sessions. I wanted to quit so many times or just to goof off rather than write, but I kept coming back to it and staying with it. It took me over two thousand hours to develop what you are reading and watching. That is over a year of full-time work, but I believe it will be used to transform lives. That's why I did all that hard work: To help you. To do this job required a high level of diligence. I never would have done this if I had not been steadily building diligence into my life for many years.
Since nearly half our waking hours will be spent at work [and for some of us, a few of our sleeping hours, also!], we will be much happier if we enjoy what we do. Enjoying our work is a big part of enjoying our life. The Jewish and Christian scriptures state that ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God and were expelled from the Garden of Eden, humankind has had to work for a living. The fact that we have to work doesn't have to ruin it for us.
Many adults enjoy their work, yet this requires effort. We don't naturally enjoy it because work takes effort, diligence, and always involves a degree of frustration. Yet it is the challenge of work that keeps us interested in it and gives us a sense of accomplishment when we complete a task.
How do we learn to enjoy our work? First, we must make the choice to learn how to enjoy it. For some, this comes naturally, while for others, it is a great struggle. Once the choice is made, though, enjoying work comes fairly easily and quickly for most.
A second way to enjoy work is to work with someone who enjoys it. If a teen is just starting a new job or career, he would be smart to find a mentor or coach to help him learn the job's essentials. The best mentor is someone who really enjoys his work, has the talents that help him be successful at it, is industrious and diligent, and works hard.
A third way we learn to enjoy our work is through choosing our occupation and career. We must choose a form of employment that uses both our skills and our interests and that provides adequately for our financial needs, both present and future. A fourth way is to prepare adequately for our vocation through education. School through the twelfth grade is a challenge for many of us because the subjects bore us. Yet when we go to college or vocational training, we get to choose our field of study, our major and minor, and many of our subjects. Also we know we will be using what we study in our upcoming job, so we apply ourselves and are more diligent. Choosing our own classes helps make school more interesting. Having the proper education for our work helps us be successful and to be better paid for our efforts.
Where we first learn that work can be fun, though, is in the home. One of the best gifts a parent can give their child in addition to faith is an enjoyment of hard work. William Bennett says,
"Parents show their kids how to enjoy doing the things that have to be done by working with them, by encouraging and appreciating their efforts, and by the witness of their own cheerful and conscientious example."
The deepest joy of industry and diligence comes from the satisfaction of a job well done and the fruit of one's labors. True self-worth doesn't come through parents and teachers telling us how great we are. Rather, we know we have worth when we see what we have accomplished through hard work and perseverance. Taking on a tough task and doing it well gives birth to confidence. Ability applied to a challenge strengthens and refines that ability, qualifying its bearer for an even greater task.
These truths are implied in the story of "The Choice of Hercules." As a teenager, Hercules was bitter because others no better than himself lived a life of ease and pleasure while he endured labor and pain. On an errand one day, he came to a fork in the road. The road on his right was hilly and rough but it led straight to the blue mountains he desired to reach. The road on his left was broad and smooth, lined with shade and fruit trees and flowers. But it ended with fog and one couldn't tell if it ever arrived at the blue mountains.
While he pondered his choice, two fair women came toward him, one from each road. The one from the pleasant way reached him first and Hercules saw that she was beautiful as a summer day. "Hercules, strong and handsome, be no longer bowed with hard work and trials. Come with me on the Path of Pleasure where no storms disturb and no troubles annoy. You shall live in ease with unending music and laughter. You will have all that makes life fun: sparkling wine, soft couches, rich clothing, and the loving eyes of beautiful maidens. Come with me, and your life shall be a dream of gladness."
By this time, the other woman had drawn near and Hercules saw that she was equally beautiful, but with a strength and determined intensity that captured his attention. "I have nothing to promise you except what you will win with your own strength. The road upon which I lead you is uneven and hard, steep and dangerous. The views that you will sometimes see will be grand, but the valleys are dark and the ascent toilsome. Yet the road leads to the blue mountains of endless fame that you see on the horizon. They cannot be reached without labor. In fact, only by great toil can you win all that is worth having. If you want fruits and flowers, you must plant and care for them. If you want the love of your friends, you must love them and suffer for them. If you want the favor of heaven, you must serve well on the earth. If you desire eternal rewards, you must persevere through temporal trials to obtain them."
As she spoke, Hercules saw that this maiden's beauty was of a deeper quality, pure as wool yet strong as wine. "What is your name, Fairest of Maidens?" he asked. "Some call me Labor," she replied, "but those who know me best call me Virtue."
Hercules turned to the first lady and asked the same. "Some call me Pleasure," she said with a bewitching smile, "but I choose to be known as the Joyous, Happy One."
"Virtue," said the strongest man on earth, the son of a god, "I will take you as my guide. The road of labor and honest effort shall be mine, and my heart shall no longer cherish bitterness or discontent." Taking her by the hand, he stepped boldly upon that rugged path leading to the true object of his desire. You may think that's a pretty good story. You may really want to be diligent and industrious. Yet you may also know yourself well enough to think, "When I'm faced with the choice to be diligent and hardworking or kick back and take it easy, I will probably take it easy again. I just can't see myself changing."
But do you want to change? The keys to any change in your life are:
1. Want It: How bad do you want to change? Are you willing to sacrifice?
2. Get Help: What help will you find? This could be people, tools, or God.
3. Don't Quit: Will you choose never to give up? Apply this to diligence and industriousness. Do you really want to excel? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to find the help you need to learn and make something happen? Will you stay after a task long after most others would have quit? You may have to re-evaluate your goal, approach, or methodology. You may have to start over or take a break from it for a while. But will you decide to be a diligent man or woman?

Economic, societal benefits to preserving hawker culture
http://str.sg/4Yua
It is good news that hawkers are being consulted about the future of this industry ("Adding spice to hawker culture"; yesterday, and "Hawker Centre 3.0: Whipping up tasty ideas"; last Friday).
It is my hope that this will be the start of hawkers having greater involvement in shaping the future of the industry.
The humble hawker showcases the spirit of entrepreneurship in its most rudimentary form.
It is hard work, but it is an accessible industry to break into and make a decent living, especially for people who lack comprehensive educational qualifications in a paper-chasing world.
This can be seen by the number of senior hawkers today, many of whom did not have an opportunity to get a formal education, but have made a name for themselves, with two even getting a Michelin star ("Michelin-starred stall to open restaurant"; last Saturday).
Considering that the average age of a hawker is 59, it is timely that steps are taken to preserve our distinctively Singaporean hawker culture.
For a long time, hawkers have taken it upon themselves to pass on their business to future generations. This has achieved limited success, as younger Singaporeans have received better formal education, which has allowed them to consider more career options.
Rather, we could consider focusing on improving hawker centres in a way that makes the job of being a hawker more senior-friendly and less physically demanding.
This can be done by improving the physical infrastructure and social attitudes towards the job.
The recent initiatives involving tray-return stations and robots are a good start, especially during busy periods at lunchtime ("Finished eating? Robot will pause for your tray"; Sunday).
Ensuring that anti-slip tiles in hawker centres are in good condition, for example, will minimise the risk of falls. Building more toilet spaces specifically for hawkers will go a long way in improving their welfare at work.
The Japanese concept of ordering via vending machines to relieve hawkers of the job of collecting money could be explored.
However, this adoption of innovation should not be used as a reason to immediately push up rents, because this will discourage new entrants and put much pressure on existing hawkers.
The preservation of our hawker culture generates plenty of economic and societal benefits over the long run, especially with the rising popularity of experience-based tourism. Our hawker culture is unique within the ranks of developed countries. Making all effort to promote it will ensure it remains sustainable.

0 | example_37530 | I was in love with Tokyo and decided to stay there the 10 days my boyfriend and I had to stay in the land of the rising sun. My sister-in-law, born in the Japanese capital, advised us to spare a few days in Kyoto – the most beautiful city in Japan, according to her and some Japanese friends we have. The disappointment was evident when I told people I preferred Tokyo over Kyoto.
Of course, Kyoto is (extremely) charming and holds a lot of the oriental traditional culture in its daily life. People say it is common to see geishas on the streets, and we could spot a few. Besides, commerce and restaurants are more rustic and it is a bit difficult to establish communication, since not everybody speaks English as they do in Tokyo.
Leaving the capital on our way to Kyoto, it was interesting to testify how abruptly the view changes from modern to rural; how such a small country can have so much contrast. In Kyoto people are much more shy and reserved than in Tokyo – even in the clothes they wear.
However, I noticed that Kyoto is far more touristic than Tokyo, and it bothered me the fact that we cannot tell the authenticity of things. How much can tradition be masked? Like the Golden Pavilion, one of the main attractions in the city, “not all that glitters is gold”. Even though the top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf, this Zen temple is only a replica, rebuilt in 1955.
Eating out – The restaurants in GION have high reputation for keeping the Japanese traditional cuisine. The most interesting fact is that they do not remind western restaurants at all. Wooden structure, dimly lit and the impression that they are always closed. You must take off your shoes and sit on the floor to eat, sometimes at huge rectangular tables.
Curious fact – The local special treat is the candy made of beans. We also found green tea ice-cream very frequently. In the most popular restaurants, the dishes are displayed by the window. | OSCAR-2019 |

All the places selling DEF now, we should start a poll/chart is to where we can purchase good high quality DEF with minimal problems to our vehicles.

It's crazy to hear of people not having problems. All I've heard about is problems with the DEF system. Will most likely fill at Kwik Trip in western Wisconsin or South Eastern Minn. Thanks for the help. I'm just under a half a tank with 5,000 miles on the OD. The only fill was new at Dealership(said 3/4 on readout at full.)
#7 12-14-2014, 10:14 PM
If you have half a tank of DEF, and 5000 miles on your odometer, you'll probably get another 5000 miles out of the remaining DEF fluid. The tank only holds 8 gallons of DEF, and at three quarters, you had 6 gallons in the tank. I never keep mine or fill mine past the three-quarter mark.

Amazon.com: BlueDEF DEF002 Diesel Exhaust Fluid - 2.5 Gallon Jug: Automotive
Looks good, provided it is ordered in the spring or fall (or in the South). In the winter or summer, ground shipping and porch delivery seems like it could be a bad idea. Hm, I suppose how and when it was shipped to the Amazon warehouse is also a concern (did it bake in a trailer for days on its way from the factory to the warehouse; did it sit around and freeze during shipment?)
"To ensure product stability, DEF producers, buyers, retailers and users should store the fluid at temperatures between 12°F-86°F (10°C-30°C). Doing so ensures a DEF shelf-life of at least one (1) year. Storage temperatures higher than 86°F will detrimentally affect urea concentration and below 12 ° F, DEF will begin to crystallize. Both of these circumstances could render the product out of specification and unfit for sale."
Our DEF tank has a heater to try to prevent this crystallization/freezing, and obviously our Jeeps don't choke and die when there are temperature excursions from this range. However, I'm trying to play it as safely as possible at least until this whole P20EE debacle is fully elucidated.
I haven't tried this type of DEF yet, but the manufacturer of Air1 claims to audit their DEF distribution network to ensure quality (whatever that means, but it sounds good). I might grab a couple of gallons from one of their distribution stations in the next few weeks and report back.

I live in Los Angeles so I don't have a porch as much as a nice, climate-controlled PO Box. Amazon PRIME customers enjoy 2-day delivery on this product. Finally, unless they invent a kit to spot "acid-test" DEF for quality (like the bad-guy's test the heroin in movies) you really can't tell what going into the tank, can you? #11 12-15-2014, 07:10 AM
you really can't tell what going into the tank, can you?
Yep, that's the problem. So, this is about risk mitigation, especially given that another forum member has already had his DEF system warranty voided over "contaminated DEF".
My perspective is that DEF from a well-maintained dispensing system at a high-volume truck stop is likely to be the freshest and to have experienced the best storage conditions (underground storage tanks should be very thermally stable). This is also contingent upon the dispenser being clean and well maintained; the one I have used before had the DEF pump filler in an enclosed storage cabinet.
Given that DEF refills are such a rare occurrence, I would be willing to drive out of my way to get the "best" DEF. That air1 manufacturer claiming they "audit" the distribution network system seems promising, and I'm willing to check it out. I'm currently down to <20% on my DEF tank, so if the truck stop place looks good I'll grab a few gallons to bring my tank back to 1/3 or so.
I have Prime as well, but I wouldn't feel the urge to order it from Amazon—especially without seeing the date code on the box. Maybe after others report back that their Amazon-shipped DEF is all freshly made and hasn't been sitting in some (climate-controlled? maybe?) warehouse for a long time...

0 | example_60618 | D.C. UNITED & EAST HEAD COACH PETER NOWAK
"It was a privilege to coach this group of players. I've played with a lot of them, but that is a different story. It was great today and I'm happy for Amado (Guevara). He got the MVP. He deserved it with his two beautiful goals. It was pretty competitive for an All-Star game, but these guys wanted to show what American soccer is all about. I really enjoyed working with them and it was a great weekend."
On the heat factor:
"I know that the weather conditions were not really good. I played the game before this one and I played 25 minutes and I know how I feel. We had a couple of substitutions we used including Amado (Guevara). I didn't want to keep him too long on the field and I think he deserved a standing ovation. We had five or six rookies playing in the second half. This is the future of American soccer and it was good to see them all."
On Honda MVP Amado Guevara:
"I'd love to have this kind of player on our team. Maybe we'll talk after the game a little more about that. I've enjoyed to work with him and in watching him, every single pass makes sense. I love these kind of players."
HONDA MVP, METROSTARS & EAST MIDFIELDER AMADO GUEVARA
"I am very happy for the nomination, but I'm happier because we won the game. I'm really satisfied to be able to share this with my teammates. I'm also very thankful to the media and fans for always supporting me."
On taking the penalty kick to the left post once again:
"Yes, the same way. I have the confidence. That's where I go and that's what works for me."
COLUMBUS CREW & EAST DEFENDER FRANKIE HEJDUK
"We're in it to win it. I think the heat wore on a lot of people and you can't blame anyone. It's really tough to play when it's that hot."
"I'm a professional and I was asked to be here by the fans so it was an honor to represent the League and to represent the Crew. Bottom line is that it is our job."
D.C. UNITED & EAST FORWARD FREDDY ADU
On his performance in his first All-Star Game:
"I thought I played great. It was fun. It was hot. The game was kind of dull and I felt like I had to do something to keep the fans a little bit involved and go with it. I got the ball and started doing some tricks and it all turned out great."
On playing with so many great players:
"There are a lot of players here who are really good players. These guys are better and they've been there and done that and it's my first time. I went in and felt like I did a great job. It's an All-Star Game and we had fun. I had a lot of fun, and yet we got the win. It was a great day."
On his favorite part of the weekend:
"Getting to play was great. I haven't played in a while. I've been on break all week and I finally got a chance to play and I was a little bit out of shape. I was tired out there because it was so hot, but it was great to play in an All-Star Game and it's an honor and I'm glad I experienced it."
On his playing style during the All-Star Game:
"I love one-on-ones. I just love coming at a defender. That's me. I grew up doing that all the time. My eyes just open up and I say 'here we go.' I'll try to do something but sometimes it doesn't work. But sometimes it does and when something works you hear it from the crowd and it's great."
On playing the All-Star Game at home in Washington, D.C.:
"It made it even better. This is the most perfect situation we could have. We get the win and we're at home. For me personally, I'm playing in front of my home fans and we get the win. I felt like I played well. Everything came through the way I planned it."
On entertaining the crowd:
"The All-Star Game is pretty much what the fans want and you've got to go out there and give them what they want. I felt like I went out there and gave them what they wanted. Whenever I got the ball and did something everyone got a little excited. That's what it's all about, keeping the fans satisfied and they'll keep coming back for more.
"It took me a while to feel comfortable to play in this League. I've put together five solid performances in a row prior to today and I just hope to continue the second half of the season. If I get one goal, I'm sure the floodgates will open."
D.C. UNITED & EAST MIDFIELDER DEMA KOVALENKO
On what his team is facing at this juncture of the season:
"We've been saying before the season that we have guys who've got to step in off the bench and do the job. It's very important. Especially now, we've got (Ryan) Nelsen out and maybe Mikey (Mike Petke) and Nicky (Nick Rimando) and we can't play like we did in Dallas (5-1 loss). It's not acceptable. We go back to work on Monday and we have some time and I think overall we're playing well."
On playing against Dallas Burn midfielder Ronnie O'Brien after last year's incident which resulted in an injury to O'Brien:
"We don't talk at all. It's weird that we played against one another today. We matched up. I don't have hard feelings and I hope he doesn't either. I want to apologize again for what happened but it's soccer and it happens and I hope he doesn't have hard feelings. It's been a year and it should have passed by. I'm glad he's doing well and that's the most important thing."
CHICAGO FIRE & EAST DEFENDER JIM CURTIN
"It was hot. I'm sure the fans probably felt we might have been dogging it a little but it was hot. Both teams probably defended a little harder than I would have expected in my first All-Star Game. It was a good competitive game."
On resuming the second half of the season with D.C. United:
"We're struggling big time. We're in a hole right now. Hopefully everyone got a good break. It's down to 11 games. The season is almost coming to an end now and we don't have times for mess-ups."
On facing the Richmond Kickers in the U.S. Open Cup in midweek:
"We know they're a very good team and they beat D.C. United to advance to where they are. We want to make a push to win the Open Cup. We're going to put a lot into the Open Cup because we have struggled a little bit and we want to win a trophy at the end of the year."
D.C. UNITED & EAST FORWARD ALECKO ESKANDARIAN
On his first All-Star experience:
"It was an awesome occasion and I was trying to soak as much of it in as I could. It was extremely hot and I thought we were all dying - it doesn't matter if you're the fittest guy I think. Frankie was probably the only guy not affected by it. But it was fun for all the players ... This whole week has been a whirlwind for me. I got to meet all these unbelievable players I looked up to as a kid. I've been wishing it wouldn't come to an end."
On the second half of the season with D.C. United:
"I think we have a bunch of injuries right now. We just can't make any excuses. We have to get out there and get the job done and win games."
LOS ANGELES GALAXY & WEST HEAD COACH SIGI SCHMID
"It was real hot and then it got hotter. I think that probably sums it up. For the players obviously you know it is never easy to play in that sort of heat and I thought the effort it was a good All-Star Game ... For an All-Star Game I thought it was good, there was five goals. And I think there were attacking chances on both sides."
On his team's scoring opportunities:
"In the first half we created some chances. We did not finish those chances we created and there were a couple of good saves by Henry Ring. You know on the penalty kick they scored a good goal as well. But I thought we in the game in the second half."
"We came out in a 4-4-2. We switched into a 3-5-2 at half time and got more attacking players off the bench. It was one of those things where you try and pick and chose your moments and I thought at times we did it well. But like I said, the final pass was off sometimes. I was on the bench for both games and I am beat."
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES & WEST FORWARD LANDON DONOVAN
On the Reunion Game which preceded the All-Star Game:
"I don't know if you call it a game, but it was fun to watch; it was entertaining. It was good to see my GM (Alexi Lalas) out there getting slaughtered and diced up. It was a great idea bringing them back. It was really cool for them. I hope that in 10 years, or however many years, we get called back to play in a game like that."
"I can't remember every playing in a game that hot and I know I have been out of shape all week. It was definitely a factor. But that said, it wasn't so bad. I don't think an MLS regular season game would have been different. There's a point when your body gives up."
On his memories of the 1994 FIFA World Cup:
"It was the summer of seventh grade and I remember that I got to go to one game, the Argentina vs. Romania game. It was one of the better games. At that point, I didn't know too much about the National Team. I was just a kid playing soccer. It is crazy to think that they were going through things that I now going through."
"I thought he was terrible. What do you want me to say? No, he did very well. After five minutes, he said, 'Man, it is hot out here' and I said, 'Five minutes, man. You're 15-years-old!' No, he did well. It would have been nice had he been able to score a goal. As you can see, he absolutely holds his own at this level and that is incredible at that age. I can't even fathom that."
"I think that he's a great player and I think that Bob (Bradley) has done a great job with the MetroStars. When he (Guevara) first came, I think he was a little lax defensively and he kind of just hung out. Bob (Bradley) has him now and he works and he links up and he's connecting and he almost always makes the right decision. I'm glad we're not playing against him in qualifying, I'll tell you that."
DALLAS BURN & WEST FORWARD JASON KREIS
"It was miserably hot. Difficult conditions to play soccer. You even find yourself even having difficulty thinking. Really when you're playing with players that good the ball wants to move. It makes it hard when you want to do things quickly but it's just not going to work in that kind of heat."
On the All-Star Game as a celebration of American soccer:
"I've said that I think the level of the play has gotten better every year and I'll still say that. I think this year we see that there is so much parity in the league and that's because we have so many good players. There are good players not only in the first XI of teams but also there are talented players to step in when they need to."
On the second half prospects of the Dallas Burn:
"I think our team has shown a proliferation for being in the playoffs and I think we'll be there this year."
KANSAS CITY WIZARDS & WEST DEFENDER JIMMY CONRAD
"I came out and I was buzzing in the first 20-30 minutes. But then the heat hit me head on. It turned into a little bit of a track meet. That was fun for a while until I got tired. Overall it was a good time and it's not over yet. Everyone will go out tonight to have a good time. It's a great event because there was no pressure. You want to go out and show well and have some fun. The heat was a big factor. It is what it is. Both teams had to go through it."
On the low-scoring affair:
"We had chances both ways. It could have been 5-4 no problem. The goalkeepers made some good saves and we (defenders) made it as difficult as possible but you can only hold up the fort for so long."
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES & WEST GOALKEEPER PAT ONSTAD
"It probably wasn't a very thrilling All-Star Game by All-Star Game standards. Both teams had guys who played midweek games last week and there are games in midweek this week. You don't want guys running end to end especially in the heat. The guys put out the best effort they possible could."
On the resumption of MLS play:
"We have a Wednesday quarterfinal in Minnesota, a U.S. Open Cup match. Obviously we have to get things ticking in the league. We're not playing well right now but we have the players that can turn it around."
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES & WEST FORWARD BRIAN CHING
On his first MLS All-Star Game weekend:
"It's fun. I've had a good time this weekend, meeting all the guys and getting to know a lot of the great players in the league. Being here with the guys has made my weekend worthwhile. It's been a good weekend"
On whether San Jose can turn it around in the second half of the season:
"I definitely think so. I think we need to come into the second half of the season with a different attitude than we came with in the first half. You know, I think once our team gets the right attitude, we have a lot of talented players, and we have a good team. We just have to go out there and play like it. We haven't done that so far so I just think it's just tweaking our attitude in the second half of the season."
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES & WEST DEFENDER JEFF AGOOS
On how far the League has come since his first All-Star Game in 96':
"I think the League has come a long, long way in a very short time. In the environment that it started in it was very difficult but we've made huge strides both on and off the field. You see what it is on the field with guys like Landon (Donovan) and Freddy (Adu) and all the young players coming up who had the role models come from MLS in 1996. We're building our stadiums and fan bases and we're on the right road."
On the second half of the season for the San Jose Earthquakes:
"We have to turn it around. Either that or we make some golf dates for October. It's not the performances but the results we've been getting. We've been playing pretty well in some games. It's a little like Jekyll and Hyde I ever know when we come out if it's a team that's going to perform for 90 minutes or not. Right now we need to change our mentality."
On the growing role of American players in the All-Star Game:
"You've seen more American players fill the All-Star role. They are becoming dominant force in this League and that's what the League is about - developing the American player. It's nice to see guys coming out and making a difference on the field like Eddie Gaven."
On the Reunion Game that preceded the All-Star Game:
"It all started with one goal. Everything you see from today comes from that goal. Those guys created a legacy and I feel I'm a little part of that. I was in the second wave. We had a bunch of college kids go to the World Cup in 1990 and we've been making strides since. On the international we're making big strides and that's down to having talented players here and in Europe."
On Freddy Adu being part of the All-Star Game:
"All-Star games, whether soccer, football or baseball is all about what the fans want to see. Freddy (Adu) is an exciting, marketable player. That's what people want to see. I was at the clinic yesterday and they announced Freddy and it was chaotic. It's good for the League but it's a heavy burden for him. But I think he's been doing great."

"We wanted to win but in the end but it was a good spectacle and that's what people wanted ... We did what we had to do. We gave a show and at the end of the day people left happy."
"Unfortunately we lost. But there will be more opportunities for me to score in the future. What was good about this game was that there were goals and people wanted to see goals. It was very hot but as players we played and gave it our best so people stayed until the end. People were able to leave satisfied with what they saw."
On the showing of Central American counterpart and Honda MVP Amado Guevara:
"It's something positive that there's always a Latin representation in MLS with me and Amado (Guevara). It's something nice for Central American fans to know we're here and representing them. We thank the fans for dealing with the heat. They were all screaming until the end and I want to thank all of them."
On his return to Washington, D.C. to play for Guatemalan National Team:
"The Galaxy gave me the opportunity to travel here for the game between Guatemala and El Salvador next Friday in preparation for the World Cup qualifying."
LOS ANGELES GALAXY & WEST GOALKEEPER KEVIN HARTMAN
On the All-Star Game from a goalkeeper's perspective:
"It's obviously a reward and the entire weekend is a celebration. As a goalkeeper it takes a lot of pride to be part of an All-Star Game. You don't want to be giving up goals and in an All-Star Game with this format you give up goals. It messes with your psyche as a goalkeeper but it's a great opportunity for fans to come out to support you. And it's an opportunity to get together with the guys in the League and wish them the best throughout the rest of the year."
"I think right now we've (Galaxy) played a lot of games, the most in the League right now. A couple of other teams have games in hand and we need to deal well with that and when we do play our games we need to put forth an effort that will keep us at the top, especially against Conference opponents." | https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2010/01/22/all-star-game-quote-sheet | 2017/10/22 01:07:51 | mC4 |
0 | example_66616 | After helping his family to grow weed to help his sick granddaughter, one officer abused his power by trying to get them arrested.

We often read stories about police officer abusing their power, but for one woman, it was her own father-in-law who turned against her. After helping with young woman cultivate a crop of medical cannabis for her sick child, the child’s grandfather became upset and set out to seek revenge. He attempted to use his position in the law enforcement to intimidate and arrest the woman, but his plan backfired in front of a judge.

In 2011, Jennifer Scherr learned her young daughter, Liza, was suffering from an aggressive form of cancer called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. This particular cancer comes in the form of a brain tumor, which usually carries a fatal sentence. Unsatisfied with traditional treatment options, Scherr set out to find her daughter alternative medications that just might give her a fighting chance.
After being introduced to medical cannabis oil, Scherr felt confident the medication was something her daughter needed adding to her regimen. In 2012, Chicago’s laws surrounding cannabis oil were undefined, making it accessible to Scherr, but for a very steep price.
Noticing a positive change in Liza’s behavior, Scherr made the decision to cultivate her own crop, in an attempt to alleviate some of the high costs.
Scherr’s her father-in-law, Officer Curtis Scherr of Chicago, warned of the legal ramifications for growing cannabis. That didn’t stop Scherr from requesting his help to assemble the necessary components for an indoor grow.
Setting his fears aside, Officer Scherr purchased special lighting to help the plants grow and would often check in on the crop that was meant to help his granddaughter.
Turn for the worst

Despite best efforts by doctors and family, little Liza passed away in July 2012. After her passing, grief overtook the family and tensions began to rise. Arguments about how Liza’s body should be preserved and being denied access to his granddaughter’s remains set Officer Scherr over the edge.
While the rest of the family was mourning the loss of their angel, Officer Scherr set out to get revenge for the ongoing disagreements. Officer Scherr filed for a search warrant with his police department, asking that he be granted permission to search his daughter-in-law’s home after he claimed to have seen 50 cannabis plants in the basement. The very same plants he helped to grow.
When DEA agents entered Scherr’s home, they found nothing. Scherr had disposed of the plants shortly after her daughter’s passing, having no need for the medication anymore. Officer Scherr was understandably baffled but stood by his accusations. Of course, he knew the plants had been there, he provided their lighting, but there was no proof.
After learning all the facts, Judge Richard Posner, who granted the warrant, called Officer Scherr’s actions “atrocious.” According to the filed paperwork, Officer Scherr never disclosed his relationship to Scherr, something that would have halted the Judge’s decision to grant a warrant.
The Judge also went on to defend Officer Scherr saying that while his intentions might not have been completely clear, “a police officer’s motive in applying for a warrant does not invalidate the warrant.” | https://herb.co/news/legalization/cop-granddaughter/ | 2022-11-27T09:24:13Z | OSCAR-2301 |
0 | example_36570 | Sportschannel8 correspondant and newsletter editor Max Gongaware is hitting 20 college basketball games over 9 days. This is his story …
the aftermath:
Well folks, I did it. I attended 20 Basketball Games in 9 Days.
A 4.5 hour drive from Raleigh to Charleston on a Friday (including about 100 miles with my “check engine” light on, but it eventually turned off so I’m sure it’s fine). Three nights sleeping on a couch in Charleston. A late-night drive back from Charleston, arriving back in NC around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning. A few hours of sleep in my actual bed. Awake and headed to work Tuesday morning. Leave work around 4 p.m. Tuesday. Fly from RDU to LaGuardia Tuesday night. Sleep on a pullout couch in Hell’s Kitchen for five nights. Wake up early Sunday morning and hop on a flight back to RDU. Back to work Monday morning.
Oh, and basketball. Lots and lots of basketball.
It’s been a joy to journal some of my highlights and experiences throughout my 9-day journey. I hope that I’ve been able to share some insights you hadn’t previously noticed or thought about.
It’s difficult to know at this point if I’ll have the opportunity to double-dip the CAA and ACC Tournaments again next season, but I sure hope so. Until then, make sure y’all stay in tune with everything going on here at SC8 (including some occasional stuff from yours truly). There’s a lot of fun stuff still to come this March and beyond.
To read previous journal entries, keep reading below. To subscribe to the SC8 weekly newsletter to get access to the best of SC8 plus exclusive content from Max and Mark, go here.
DAY 1
The Colonial Athletic Association’s Conference Tournament got started yesterday with a couple of play-in games. Since neither of yesterday’s games featured a team from North Carolina (take a lesson NC State and Wake Forest), I figured it makes the most sense for the Day 1 journal to be about Colonialism. The staff at SportsChannel8 sent me down to Charleston because I’m their guy when it comes to the intersection of sports and the second half of the 1700s (also because I’m an Elon alum and I happened to be attending this tournament anyway).
The first game of the day featured 8-seed Hofstra and 9-seed Delaware fighting for the right to play top-seeded UNCW on Day 2. Delaware has the conference’s Rookie of the year in Ryan Daly and he didn’t disappoint, scoring 17 points in the first half and 27 for the game, along with 11 rebounds. How does this intersect with Colonialism? Well, Delaware was, of course, the first state to ratify the US Constitution in 1787. Yesterday, they became the first team to record a win in the 2017 CAA Tournament. History!
The second game of the night featured 7-seed James Madison and 10-seed Drexel. Drexel jumped out to an early lead and clearly frustrated James Madison offensively. Their frustration turned into some aggressive arguments with the referees. JMU was whistled for THREE technical fouls in the first half. Their head coach, Louis Rowe, was called for two of those techs, which resulted in his ejection. Historical Note: James Madison University is named after a guy named James Madison (imagine that), one of this country’s founding fathers. Madison is perhaps best known for being the author of the Bill of Rights–the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution. Madison’s first amendment included protection of free speech (among other things). Maybe it’s ironic, then, that the very school that honors the man who invented “free speech” was whistled for three techs while trying to speak their minds.
Stay tuned into SC8 today, as CAA action brings us two games featuring NC teams. UNCW will play Delaware at noon and Elon plays William & Mary at 2:30.
DAY 2
There is nothing in the world that I love more than four basketball games in one day in a Tournament setting. Nothing. The venue becomes your home for the day. It’s peak people-watching, as eight different fan bases (also important: eight different pep bands) come through the building. The section you’re seated in becomes your new family. You learn to be amicable with all the other fan bases (ok maybe not ALL the other fan bases). You get to listen to super fans from around the league spew information about players you never knew existed. I now know more about Northeastern’s CJ Williams (the CAA player of the year) than I ever thought possible. Oh, and you get to watch four basketball games.
The other day, somebody asked me if I’m a “beach” or a “mountains” guy. I wasn’t sure how to answer. I don’t have a particular affinity for either. Which is more likely to host a conference basketball tournament?
North Carolina note: North Carolina teams went 1-1 on the day. UNCW ran past Delaware to advance to the semi-finals. My Elon Phoenix led William & Mary for the majority of the day, but forgot how to offense down the stretch and dropped a heartbreaker. As an Elon alum and self-named Super Fan, it’s hard not to be optimistic about the future of Elon hoops. In just three years in the CAA, they’ve come a long way, finishing above .500 in league play for the first time this season. They had only one senior this season that played consistent, valuable minutes (Luke Eddy) and he wasn’t even a starter. Obviously, there are some other forces to be reckoned with in the CAA, but I’ve gotta think Elon has a chance to do some big things in the next couple of seasons. Look out!
Non-North Carolina notes: Towson beat Northeastern. College of Charleston sent home the CAA’s best pep band by beating James Madison.
DAY 3
Semi-final Sunday featured a matchup of the CAA’s top two scoring teams (UNCW and William & Mary) followed by a matchup of the CAA’s stingiest defenses (College of Charleston and Towson). Game one didn’t disappoint, as UNCW beat W&M 105-94. UNCW has a LOT of guys that can make shots. Plus they have the CAA’s defensive player of the year in Devontae Cacok (who also happens to shoot about 80% from the floor). If they’re hot, I can definitely see them making an NCAA Tourney run (they’ve gotta win the CAA Tourney first, obviously).
CofC/Towson was ugly until it wasn’t. Both teams were shooting around 30% for most of the game. Towson built up a decent lead, but College of Charleston (specifically Joe Chealey) got hot late and won 67-59.
Since 9-seed Delaware beat 8-seed Hofstra in the Tournament’s opening game, we’ve seen nothing but chalk throughout the rest of the tournament.
Should be a fun Championship Game tonight at 7pm in front of a national audience on the CBS Sports Network. UNCW has easily had the largest “out-of-town” crowd all Tournament long, while College of Charleston has predictably had a “home court” (the North Charleston Coliseum is not where they normally play, but is still pretty close to campus) advantage in both of their games.
DAY 4
I wrote the other day about how much I love watching four games in one day during a basketball tournament, but there’s also something to be said about the day of the Championship Game. The first few days of the Tournament, you’re spending basically ALL of your time in the arena watching basketball. The day of the Championship Game finally gives you a chance to explore the city you’re in. It’s a long day leading up to one game.
I spent most of my Championship Monday exploring the city of Charleston. I visited some parks, walked along King Street and Calhoun Street, found a place to eat some lunch, looked at some cool houses, and eventually decided to settle in at a local coffee shop and get some writing done.
The Championship Game started at 7pm. A matchup of the CAA’s highest scoring team (UNCW) and stingiest defensive team (College of Charleston). It was announced crowd of over 6,000 at the North Charleston Coliseum, easily the largest of the Tournament. It was a great Championship environment, especially when you consider that they were playing at the home arena for the South Carolina Stingrays, a Minor League Hockey affiliate of the Washington Capitals. What would they know about providing a Championship atmosphere?
UNCW showed yet again that they have a lot of different guys that can hurt you on any given night. I really think they could be a dangerous team in the big dance. If I’m a 5- or 6-seed, I certainly don’t want to see them.
One cool thing about Conference Tournaments for the smaller, “one-bid” conferences… it’s really cool to see the pure jubilation from the team and their fans when they clinch that automatic bid. I call it a “Cathartic Moment of Happiness.” Barring something unexpected, the ACC Tournament Championship Game won’t feature that kind of pure joy. It’ll feature a team that wins and a team that loses, but the losing team will still most likely get an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Last night, UNCW won, the students that made the trip to Charleston stormed the floor, and it was really fun to watch.
DAY 5
Today is a travel day for me. No basketball, unfortunately. I got home from Charleston at about 2 o’clock this morning. I’m putting in a good 6-7 hours of work in at my real job today and then it’s wheels up to Laguardia Airport this evening. My plan is to be one of the first people inside the Barclays Center around 10:30 tomorrow morning. I’m looking forward to joining the rest of the SC8 team and providing some energy off the bench when I get up there!
DAY 8
We’re now on Day 8 of my 20 games in 9 days journey. I haven’t written anything about it in a little while. I have an explanation for that and some more musings from Brooklyn.
I spent 5 months living and working in NYC in 2014, when I had an opportunity to intern in the Business Public Relations Office of Major League Baseball. It was an amazing experience and I learned a ton, both professionally and personally. New York is an amazing city and it’s been fun to feel nostalgic about my 2014 experience.
One of the things you learn very quickly when you’re in NY is that everything is just a little bit harder. That includes something as simple as finding a place to just sit down, take a deep breath, and write for your favorite web-based NC Sports Outlet. My first few days in NYC have been packed with basketball, squeezing into a friends’ tiny apartment, navigating subways, and, of course, getting over the emotionally draining reaction to Jim Boeheim saying Greensboro has “zero value.”
I’ve just been a part of back-to-back days of basketball heaven. Again, there’s nothing greater than attending four games in one day, and I just got to do it twice. Now, its’ semi-final Friday. Games don’t start until 7pm, it’s snowing in NYC, I’m underground in the Columbus Circle subway station typing on my phone, and I’ve got some time on my hands to starting feeling a little sentimental about this whole experience.
I don’t know if this is the right place for it, but I want to give a quick shoutout to Summer Camp. This journey wouldn’t be possible without it. I worked at a camp in NC for six summers (after being a camper there for eight summers). Camp is a place where it’s possible to build relationships and friendships unlike any other that I’ve ever experienced. It’s an incredible thing.
Many of my friends that I once worked with at camp have now scattered across the country in pursuit of “big boy” and “big girl” jobs. Even though it’s difficult to catch up with these folks as often as we once could, our relationships still pick up right where they left off when we do get to see one another. The bonds created through summer camp help make this happen. It’s literally magic.
This 20 games in 9 days journey was made possible because of my old camp friends in Charleston and New York, who I’ve been able to stay with for free.
The opportunity to contribute to SC8 was also made possible through another camp person in Hayes Permar, one of our fearless leaders. Even though we went to and worked at different camps, I think it was our mutual understanding of “camp life” that helped our relationship get off on the right foot when we first met nearly six years ago.
If you were to ask me about powerful “karma” that helps bring people together, the two things that would jump to my mind first are “camp” and “sports.” It’s been amazing to feel the intersection of camp and sports at work over the last eight days.
I’ll have more basketball-related content ready to roll for you tomorrow or Monday, after this ACC Tournament is wrapped up, but this felt like an important point to make. And I thank y’all. | https://www.sportschannel8.com/20-games-9-days-maxs-journey-2/ | 2022-12-01T13:50:38Z | OSCAR-2301 |

Palma de Mallorca in 1901
Posted by withflyingcolor January 28, 2013
Palma was a modern city by the beginning of the 20th century, having demolished its city walls and had a general enlargement project plan in place, that was approved in 1901.
A group of young architects in the city were already producing works in a Modernista style, alternating with other historical styles that they knew well.
They combined three major movements:
Art Nouveau, of flowing curvilinear forms and floral designs, influenced by Belgian and French and adopted by Catalan architects.
Secessionism, a rectilinear and austere style that reminds of Vienna Secessionists.
Historicism, a revival inspired by Neo-Medievalism and the Neo-Arab style.
Gaspar Bennazar Moner, Francesc Roca Simó and Guillem Reynés i Font were the most important figures of this group and they left behind very significant works in the city centre, such as the Casa Casasayas, by Roca, with its daring façade forms.
Can Casasayas, photo from http://balearsculturaltour.net
An Argentinean, Lluís Forteza-Rey, also designed original façades, and can be added to this group. Here's another image of a Forteza-Rey building (bonus: the website has a very chocking but healthy green color)

That's some crazy looking architecture! Love it 🙂
Yes it's wonderful with the old, living architecture. It's hard to imagine the amount of talent and expense that went into them. More art nouveau buildings coming up over the next few weeks:) | https://onthespiritualinart.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/palma-de-mallorca-in-1901/ | 2018/06/20 00:01:01 | mC4 |

Covenant Life Church surprised by 'incredible' turnout at first event
Mar 21, 2017 at 3:29 PM Mar 21, 2017 at 3:44 PM
WAXAHACHIE — Bringing back a community tradition of food, music, and family-friendly activities, Covenant Life Church threw a fun-fueled Block Party on North College Street last Saturday, March 18.
From face painting to balloon animals and inflatable courses, the festivities ran high as many gathered to enjoy the sunny, spring day.
"It was incredible. It was bigger than what we anticipated," Covenant Life Senior Pastor Jerry Parsons stated. "We want to give back to the community. It had less to do with our church and more to do with bringing our community together."
Although it was the church's first block party, the support of Madness Entertainment, the Waxahachie Fire Department, and the Ellis County SPCA were among the participating booths, which all helped to bring in waves of onlookers.
"That's part of what made it a community event," Parsons explained. "We wanted to invite the Ellis County Homeschool Association, a couple of businesses like Picasso Dental, and a snow cone truck and food truck – you got to have food," he laughed, adding that a total of eight organizations helped entertain the party.
With about 50 volunteers from the church's leadership in blue t-shirts, and around 250 people circulating in attendance throughout the day, many families enjoyed the carnival-like experience.
"So our church really is a 'multi-grain church.' We're multicultural, multi-generational, and multi-denominational," Parsons described the versatility of his congregation. "We really are just trying to bring people together in the unity of brotherhood, giving the city and community the option to hang out and have good-clean-fun. Sometimes these days it's hard to find places that you can take your family and not be embarrassed by what's going on."
Getting a glimpse of the people behind the church, Parsons expressed that the event was well-received among those who stopped by.
"A lot of families came through and just came in and got a taste of who we are and what we do. We've gotten a lot of 'This is incredible, are you going to do it again?' It was awesome," Parsons acknowledged.
Not only did the church have fun activities, but it members and the event also helped fill the spiritual needs of those who might need a little prayer.
"Under the tents, we had a sign up that said, 'Free Prayer,' with volunteers, in case anyone wanted to be prayed for," Parson described. "So anybody that would walk up and say, 'Would you pray for me?' Or, 'My aunt is sick. My grandmother isn't feeling well,' we would take the time to pray for people right then and there. It was so well received. Just about anybody who came up to the tent had an opportunity to be prayed for. It was a win-win situation for everybody."
As for next year, Parsons is confident in the expansion of the event, as he explained that it would only get better as time goes on.
"I think it's just going to get bigger every year, because we've already had people, vendors, and charities call and say, 'We'd like to come back.' This was our first one, so we cut our teeth and learned a few things, and I think next year it's just going to grow," Parsons recognized, adding that the reason for the block party won't change. "It's really about coming together for a cause. And that cause is – love your neighbor as yourself. We're really trying to love our neighbors as we love what we do. You don't have to make up a lot of scriptural preference to love somebody, just love them." | https://www.waxahachietx.com/news/20170321/covenant-life-church-surprised-by-incredible-turnout-at-first-event | 2021/06/25 09:17:17 | mC4 |

I want to thank Sharon for asking me to do an interview. What an incredible honour! I’ve never imagined this would actually happen when I posted my first cake on the platform three years ago.
I have to admit that the Cakesdecor was the first ever place where I started posting my cakes. Being a very private person I’ve never thought of setting up Facebook account until someone on Cakesdecor asked me about my Facebook page.
I love Cakesdecor for its friendly atmosphere, advice and incredible support that members give each other. I found so many great cake friends through Cakesdecor and was even lucky enough to meet some of them when travelling overseas. Cakesdecor will always have a special place in my heart.
I am originally from Russia and was born in an industrial city called Nizhnekamsk, purpose built for several huge industrial factories. You can imagine how polluted it is that you can’t even drink the water from the tap or see the stars in the sky at night. Six months of the year it is snowing and temperatures drop down to -37C in the winter and up to 35C in the summer.
I went to Kazan State University of Culture and Art after school at the age of 18. Kazan is 800 km east from Moscow, the third most beautiful city in Russia after St. Petersburg and Moscow, with its rich history, culture and art and most gorgeous architectural buildings and the old Kazan Kremlin. I would definitely recommend visiting Kazan for anyone planning to go to Russia.
After I graduated from university I worked for the Russian government, regional Ministry of Trade as a leading specialist in Mass media and PR, the job which I thought was the coolest compared to the other boring bureaucratic positions in the Ministry. LOL.
You never know what is prepared for you in the future!! My life changed completely 14 years ago after I married a handsome Kiwi bloke with some Russian-Polish-English roots and moved to the most beautiful and clean country in the world, New Zealand. It took me a while to adapt to drinking water directly from the tap, not to wear layers of clothes in winter and to be taken by surprise every time when I go outside at night and see the “Milky Way”. We live in the countryside next to kiwifruit and avocado orchards, a few minutes away from the tiny town of Katikati, which is famous for its murals.
We are so blessed to have three beautiful children, two girls and a boy, who keep us very busy. We also have a tabby cat called Seraphina which we brought from the local SPCA and a cockatiel named Squeaky who unfortunately loves only me and thinks I am her Mummy too.
I never thought that one of my biggest passions in life would be cake decorating! I only used to eat cakes. My friends back home and my Mum still can’t believe I can actually make designer cakes! They still see me as a girl covered in flour doing biscuits (“pechenie” as we call in Russia).
I attribute becoming a cake addict to my children – my oldest daughter Sophia was diagnosed with Coeliac disease (severe gluten intolerance) when she was three. I’ve tried many recipes, all gluten free flour and mixes offered in our supermarkets. Some of the recipes were successful, some of them were complete failures. Now I have a great collection of Gluten Free recipes for any occasion in my arsenal. Gluten free doesn’t mean to be taste free. When it comes to baking for the family it is always Gluten Free and all of us enjoy it.
I can’t live without the Dresden tool. When I start decorating a cake this is the first tool I always take from the drawer whether I planned to use it or not, but I always end up using it one way or another.
4. I love your beautifully colored designs they are always fun and interesting, where do you get most of your inspirations from for your cakes?
The inspirations come from everywhere: art, Mother Nature, beautiful designer gowns, postcards and invitations, prints on children clothes and books, textile…
The least enjoyable part of making cakes is cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. The more I feel myself like Claude Monet in the studio – the bigger the mess in the kitchen. LOL!
The most enjoyable part for me is making sugar flowers. I make sure my whole house is pristinely clean so nothing takes my attention from the enjoyable process. I always put some old Russian movies on DVD and enjoy making flowers even more. The sugar flowers are too addictive.
I grew up in “communist” Russia, being a “Pioneer”, which was a youth movement operated by the communist party and proudly wore a red necktie. It was a very tough period of communist ideology and broken economy, when we had to stay in long ques to buy food and clothes. It’s probably hard to imagine for you readers, but we still thought that we were so lucky to be born in the USSR, because we could watch the programs on TV only about homeless and hungry people in America and thought that it’s how the rest of the capitalistic world live. After the communist regime collapsed we were able to travel overseas and see for ourselves that there is “a grass greener” on the other side of the border.
My favorite cake is a two tier wedding cake, the Purple Orchid cake, which I did for a lady in her 60s, who secretly planned the wedding day from her partner. They’ve been together for so long so I don’t think this was a big problem for her partner, maybe a big surprise. She was so lovely to give me a free reign as long as the cake had her favorite colour of purple, which matched the colour of her hair.
Recently I started to go to the gym every morning again after three years of absence and really enjoy short and hard workouts. My back problems pushed me to change my life style and try to get my fitness back. One of the things I want to do one day is to compete in a body building competition.
There is always a place for learning new techniques and improving the skills you’ve already mastered. I admire the cake artists who can do anything, from sculpted cakes and figurines to gorgeous wedding cakes. For me, I don’t want to be stressed out doing something that my heart’s not into. I want to make sure my cake decorating is still an enjoyable process. So I would love to concentrate on the mastering of tiered wedding cakes with beautiful sugar flower arrangements.
This depends on the cake. I love to add some coffee to the chocolate cake, which will increase the chocolate flavor, make it more intense. For fruit cake this would be a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Yes, not brandy, but orange juice! It makes fruit cake super moist. I love to add some glazed ginger pieces to the carrot cake that gives the traditional cake a burst of slightly exotic flavour.
I love to concentrate on one cake at a time. I don’t do the sketches for my cakes. The whole design idea comes while I’m working. As long as I have a technique, colour, texture or a flower that I want to have on my cake, I can work around it. Sometimes I could finish the one tier of the cake and walk away, leaving the cake for a couple of hours so I can think about the next step of my design. I’ve noticed my best cake designs usually come under time pressure.
My advice is simple: never stop improving your skills, try something you’ve never done before, think outside the box when it comes to the design that will make your cake stand out.
The best teacher is experience, hurts hard but you will never forget it. Unfortunately, I have had a few of those hard lessons. One of them was using buttercream during the New Zealand summer. Never ever again, only ganache!
14. And one crazy one just for fun…If you were given the opportunity to spend one day doing something you have always wanted to do but never got the chance to where and what would it be doing?
This would be swimming with dolphins with my family at “Sea World”, in Gold Coast, Australia. Just something magical about them!
Such a beautiful gentle caring spirit that flows though your wonderful interview Gulnaz. You are connected to the earth and see beauty all around you.

Fully embrace your view on pushing the boundaries of self development and learning new skills. I’ve always fully advocated that.
Loved reading it. It´s amazing to watch how you see beauty and how you transform that into edible art. The polluted area where you brought up did´t “kill” your creation and dream of a better and unpolluted environment. Your cakes are pure joy and a reflection of your inner beauty. Congrats.

0 | example_2737 | lazy loading - NHibernate: Lazyload single property - Stack Overflow
I have currently moved my blogengine over from Linq2Sql to NHIbernate.
I'm stuck at the following performance problem:
I got one table: 'Posts', that has Id, Title, PostContent, DateCreated collumns and so on.
The problem is that, when I'm creating the "Recent posts list", I don't want the whole PostContent.
In Linq2Sql you can set lazy loading on a single property, so it won't be part of the SQL query until you actually ask for the property.
I tried doing this with Fluent NHibernate, by doing this:
Map(x => x.PostContent).LazyLoad();
It didn't work out. Googling around, it seems that NHibernate doesn't support this, so my question is, how can I fix this?
Is it really not possible to lazy load my property without moving the content to a seperate table?
nhibernate lazy-loading share|improve this question asked Dec 6 '09 at 15:28
I have also tried to create a class called PostContent with a value property inside, and map it using this: Component(x => x.PostContent, m => m.Map(x => x.Value).Column("PostContent")).LazyLoad(); Didn't work either :/
Update: this capability is now available in the NHibernate trunk.
See details on Ayende's blog, where the sample is exactly the scenario you describe here.
what does it mean when it says "it is currently only available when using the Castle Proxy Factory."?
@Louis NHibernate can be configured to use either Castle.DynamicProxy or LinFu.DynamicProxy. You are almost certainly using Castle already.
Here is how you can achieve what you want (kind of lazy loading but not the same)
var posts = NHibernateSessionManager.Session.CreateQuery("Select p.Id as Id, p.Title as Title, p.DateCreated as DateCreated from Post p")
.SetResultTransformer(NHibernate.Transform.Transformers.AliasToBean(typeof(Post)))
What the AliasToBean is intended for is, doing selects for specific columns (usually from more than one entities) and return a strongly typed collection instead of a System.Object[].
Now if you Bean (class) is your Post class then it will popultate to that class ONLY the requested columns and nothing else.
What you will NOT be having though is a collection of NHibernate managed objects. All Posts in the returned lists are detached non controlled objects. For doing things like "getting all recent posts" without having to get the most "heavyweight" columns of your entity while not having to create other classes to convert the data to, the above solution is kind of perfect.

Thanks! This really moved me forward. Btw, sorry for the slow reply. I was wondering how I should handle caching with this approach? As I understand, I can't cache anything in the 2nd layer cache, if its detached, like you say.
Dec 19 '09 at 1:47
No problem... I believe these objests are still getting in tht 2nd level cache. As I am not sure about that maybe you can find out by trying it with a test (unit test or just by debugging a second request to the same code to see if the query hits the database again or not - of course cache should be enabled in the Post mapping file).
Dec 19 '09 at 1:59
I did this actually, and it seems that as soon I use ResultTransfomer, the collections get uncacheable :/
Dec 19 '09 at 21:30
One thing to add that is important with the query above, is ensure you have aliases or you'll get "Could not find a setter for property '0' in class"
This is not possible when PostContent is mapped to the same table, because the performance difference is not significant in 99% of the situations. When you are in the 1%, you can consider using handbuild sql instead of a orm for that case.
Lazy/Eager loading is not possible at all with linq to sql (out of the box) as far as I know.
What you can do create a different class with the data you want to select and just select that data into a new object.
share|improve this answer answered Dec 6 '09 at 17:05
Hmm okay. Sounds like a solution. Can you make a small example of how you would do it?
Lazy/Eager loading is possible with LinqToSql. It's just less flexible than NHibernate.
First, I would start a profiler and find the slowest part of the code. Than I would optimize that part first. Than repeat until fast enough. When fast enough is under 1/1000th of a second, I would hit the part of the query, that I would write like session.Linq<Post>().Select(post => new RecentPost(post.Property1, post.Property2).Take(10).ToList();
As requested, a good (almost identical) example for what you want to do, at least regarding setting up the mappings, is here: blogs.hibernatingrhinos.com/nhibernate/archive/2008/11/17/… | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1855687/nhibernate-lazyload-single-property | 2014/03/08 17:28:39 | mC4 |
0 | example_39737 | The Freakwenter: A Reason to like the Electoral College
In it's current form the electoral college functions as a winner-take all system. That is, in most states, candidate that gets the most votes gets ALL of the votes of that state. The most recent disaster associated with the electoral college was the election of W, when he beat Mr. Stop Global Warming without winning the popular vote.
Disasters aside, I argue that the electoral college serves an important purpose by encouraging cultural homogeneity. Cultural homogeneity is good because it marks the absence of extreme political polarization and the domestic strive and civil wars associated with heterogeneity.
The electoral college supports cultural homogeneity in two ways. First, it encourages us to talk to our neighbors. Knowing that your state's votes go all-or-nothing toward the candidate that you like helps to reduce campaigns to a local level. Especially if you live in a swing state, it makes more sense to campaign at home instead of going to California to preach to the choir.
Second, the college helps to prevent major divisions between states by encouraging migration from homogeneous pockets into pockets of the opposite orientation. For example, if you care about politics and you live in super-liberal land where your vote doesn't make a difference, you might decide to move to Alaska so that you can help to dilute the bad political sensibilities of that state, and possibly make some conservative friends in the process.
posted by My Freakwentness at 1:05 PM
Hmm... do you mean homogeneity within parties? It seems to me that in states with a considerable majority voting one way or the other (such as Oklahoma), there's no motivation to reach out to your neighbors because it's unlikely that you'll overcome a 30 point margin.
I guess in swing states there is some motivation to reach out, but still, the ultimate goal is to get 50.0001% of the vote (plus a comfort margin), not to create consensus in your community.
I would agree that the current electoral college system aims to create homogeneity within parties, which theoretically moderates their platforms, which is probably a good thing. Still, it's frustrating to always cast my vote in a state where it doesn't make a difference (and I'm not going to move/register in another state just for the purpose of voting).
Thank you for this truly devastating critique. I retract everything I wrote.
No, don't do that! In fact, I was in Oklahoma during the 2004 election and did try to reach out to my neighbors whose yards bore Bush signs. Nicely, with cookies. So my inner idealist wants to agree with you...
Your inner idealist "wants" to agree with me?? As in, even your inner idealist doesn't quite agree with me? That's OK, I've changed and am no longer that thing that your inner idealist "wanted" to agree with. Your outer realist convinced me!
In other news, I'm planning to vote for McCain so that you'll reach out to me with cookies. Nicely.
That won't be necessary. Perhaps there will be cookies on Friday, and if there are, they will be provided regardless of political orientation.
My Freak-of-a-Brother: I will most definitely NOT give you ANY cookies if you vote for McCain, you hear? On the other hand, if you vote for Obama, I will give you all the cookies that you can eat. | http://zacharychild.blogspot.com/2008/10/reason-to-like-electoral-college.html | 2018/07/19 22:49:56 | mC4 |

This was one of the nicest stays we had during our trip through morocco. We spent our New Years Eve at this place. The location of the auberge is stunning (check out the view on the roof!) and the house itself is furnished in a very authentic and aesthetic way. Andi and his family are very welcoming. Andi has been living in morocco for many years and he has a huge knowledge about culture and politics in morocco and the rest of the Arabic world. It's very interesting talking to him!

We had a very warm welcome by Khadija and her husband Andy (German/Austrian) and from the first moment we felt like at home in their house, which is built in the original berber style of that region and decorated in a charming way.
You don't need to speak French to be understood like in many other places around there but both, Khadija and Andy also speak English and German.
In the evening Khadija surprised us with a delightful and very rich tajine while Andy told us quite a bit about the history of Ait Benhaddou and pointed out some "must to see" places in the area.
Our room was quite big and the beds very comfortable. When we woke up next morning all the four of us, my wife, her two sisters and myself decided to spend another day in that place, something that hadn't been planned before.
After a few minutes walk we reached the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and later on discovered some nearby villages.
On our return in the evening Khadija was already waiting with a magnificent coscous, which delighted even my moroccan wife and her sisters who are very critical in these matters.
After another quiet and comfortable night we had to leave that place and keep it in good memory.
It's the right place for couples and families with children since Khadija and Andy have two children of about 5 and 7 years, Maria and Younes.
For us it was our first but sure not the last visit at their home.

Lighthearted and fantastic atmosphere
Thanks to Andi and his wife Khadija as well to their small and super cute children Maria and Jonis! From the first second on you felt welcomed and well treated. The rooms were excellent and the showers (like promised) warm and super clean :) The food was fantastic - in total I can say without any doubt that it is the best adress in Ait Ben haddou if you are looking for a wonderful experience in the heart of Marocco :)
Ask Klaus K about Auberge Tiguami Khadija
In Ait Ben Haddou he let us park our car near his house, showed us where to enter the Kasbas, told us about the history of the town and invited us to come over to the Auberge for tea. Our 2-year-old son had a lot of fun with the 4-year-old daughter of the owners.
Even though we did not stay at his Auberge (we had a hotel in Ouarzazate) I would recommend it, because of the friendly owner and the good impression we had of the hotel. | https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g304011-d2146216-r174934741-Auberge_Tiguami_Khadija-Ait_Ben_Haddou_Souss_Massa_Draa_Region.html | 2017/09/21 00:58:43 | mC4 |

Current concerns surrounding the Indian economy are not linked to questions about whether the Indian economy can sail through another financial "crisis." Instead these concerns relate to policymakers' lack of adequate tools to monitor short-term volatility and the current government's demonstrated inability to push through significant reforms.
Since S&P downgraded the US's sovereign rating, many predictions have been made on how this development, coupled with the Eurozone's inability to confront its debt problem, will impact the global market and, hence, the Indian economy. Past evidence seems to indicate that the Indian economy, largely domestically driven, will remain generally unaffected by another global crisis. Based on this assumption, both the Reserve Bank of India and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee have maintained that the Indian economy, though not insulated, will weather any potential turmoil. As a result, policymakers, at the moment, are confident that the latest debt-crisis scare will not affect the Indian growth pattern, and continue to maintain their current GDP growth forecast of 8 percent for the current fiscal year.
Yet despite government official's public confidence in the Indian economy, growing signs of discomfort in the domestic economy seem to suggest that a global crisis may have more of an effect than officials are willing to accept, both in the short- and long-term.
The short-term discomfort arises from persistently high inflation that has hovered around 8-9 percent, and has remained stubbornly high despite 11 interest rate hikes since March 2010. What is more worrisome is that 27 economists from some of the country's leading banks have forecast this WPI-based headline-inflation to range from 8.9-10 percent in the coming months, even as policymakers have been repeatedly assuring that inflation will come down in the next 2-3 months.
These trends raise questions about Indian policymakers' ability to monitor short-term volatility in an economy that has undergone tremendous structural change over the last 20 years, from consumption and production to investment. These changes, though important, question the accuracy, appropriateness and validity of some of the key economic indicators for decision-making. For instance with regard to inflation, the Reserve Bank of India's Deputy Governor Subir Gokarn has said that the central bank is debating whether higher inflation is the new normal for India. He has also mentioned the challenges resulting from using the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) based inflation numbers to target inflation in India.
This challenge is in part because India does not have a consumer price index (CPI) that properly represents the entire nation, and the RBI uses WPI to monitor its anti-inflationary policies. Similarly, the volatility in the index of industrial production (IIP) data over the past 6 months is analytically surprising. For instance, when the RBI was designing its policy in February, the IIP number available to them was 6.8 percent, whereas the economy was actually growing at around 8 percent. Such trends, according to RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao, can mislead policy calculation. This is just one of the issues that confront policymakers in the short run. Unfortunately, finding a solution to this particular dilemma in the immediate future seems unlikely.
Long-term outlooks differ, depending on where one chooses to look. But one thing is certain; India's reform process, which began 20 years ago, needs another big push. From electricity and labor to land, the un-reformed sectors of the economy have become a drag on growth and if not reformed, could choke long term outlook. Looking at the record of the last seven years of UPA rule, chances of these reforms being adopted may seem weak. The government has been clobbered by a series of scams, has faltered in its efforts to rein in the mounting public deficit, and its plans of reforming the tax regime have been allowed to drift.
In sum, the big concern for Indian policymakers is not just how fears regarding a second global crisis might play out but, more importantly, whether policymakers can find the right mix of policy to rein in the short-term volatility. This mix should include revision in some of the key decision variables and a credible move away from the policy paralysis of the last few months. There have been some indications that the UPA has reached a modus vivendi with the center-right opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that would allow several key pieces of legislation to pass during the ongoing "monsoon session" of parliament.
Within recent days, however, the UPA has floundered in its attempts to cope with a renewed anti-corruption protest campaign led by civil activist Anna Hazare, and the BJP continues to pounce on each Government misstep – not a particularly hopeful sign that the two can cooperate sufficiently to secure passage of a substantive legislative agenda. The Indian economy's fabled resilience has sheltered the country from external shocks in the past. But if the some of these domestic issues are not addressed immediately, the economy may be headed for a downturn that may have nothing to do with the global financial crisis. | http://www.albrightstonebridge.com/stability-of-indian-economy/ | 2013/05/26 01:32:11 | mC4 |
1 | example_20922 | FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL Web Site, Should You Have One? | Info Product Review
File Copy Protocol, commonly known as FTP fireislandparasail.com will help us to communicate and share information in the form of digital data files from among two remote computers. Should you be looking for an effective as well as protected communication protocol, then opt for FTP hosting service. People are taking carry out advantage of FTP hosting service to keep their very own information protected from not authorized third party.
In this period of Internet technology, communications take place on Web, a network (Internet), which can be spread throughout the world. Transferring files in digital format is mostly a part of Net communication. Usually, the term Net Communication refers to sharing information (text or perhaps image) through traditional Email from one computer system to another located at distant place.
However , Email is certainly not considered as the right channel to share information in the form of digital files. A lot of limitations exist like, size of the data files and kind of the files. Apart from the productivity of the communication protocol and setup of the network, we need to think about the security measures to hold the information far from Internet predators.
Primary goal is to select an efficient connection protocol, that enables us to talk about information and transfer digital files no matter file size and type. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol) is viewed as a typical communication process for transmitting data more than a given network. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a credit card applicatoin protocol that is included with TCP/IP and supports copying files over the Internet.
Size and type of the files matter when sending them on the internet. Error in the program or perhaps failure inside the transferring procedure is a common problem when mailing large digital files through Email. You are able to either mail the large record by disregarding it in multiple parts or may send the file by means of FTP hosting service. FTP hosting service plan allows us to send large data files through a network without breaking the file in multiple parts.
No need to stress about the size and file type, only you have to ensure enough space inside the server and fast Internet speed. FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL hosting assistance will allow how big the documents for via the internet transmission based upon the space that is allocated to suit your needs in the FTP server. For instance , if you have 300MB space inside the FTP web server you can give either 3 100MB data files or can easily send a single file of size within just 300MB. Seeing that files, that you simply are copying from your computer to another remote control computer, are stored in the FTP server therefore it is important to maintain acceptable free space to copy more files in the future. Or else you have to delete some files from the storage area to get some totally free space.
How big the document that you are moving through FTP server as well depends upon the velocity of Internet. Consequently , you have to make sure fast Internet speed to get efficient communication. FTP providers have nothing to do with Internet tempo. FTP Hosting Service and internet Service are two independent things. Internet speed exclusively depends upon the world wide web service provider. It is actually observed that for posting large file (e. g., 300MB or perhaps more) Call Up interconnection is not sufficient, it will take more time and might collapse in the midst of the process. In that case FTP would be the right choice.
Security is yet another issue you must maintain over the communication procedure. It is recommended going for Safeguarded FTP hosting service to make sure the personal privacy of the content. Secure FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL hosting service comes with the features like SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), TLS (Transport Part Security) or perhaps SSH (Secure Shell) that allow you to encrypt this content of the data. Files will be encrypted with the help of keys and you will allow the authorized user to decrypt this content by providing the key. A person, without having an appropriate key can't decrypt the information.
Though basic FTP hosting service does not always provide you with security features like SSL or SSH but helps to keep the privateness by maintaining different FTP are the reason for each user. FTP hosting services not only provide you totally free space in the FTP storage space to publish or download files although also enable you to create multiple FTP profile to access the allocated space in the machine. Each FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL account contains a unique pair of user name and username and password. Only the sanctioned user of the account can upload or download data from the hardware.
FTP hosting company comes with an FTP server whereby information are transferred derived from one of computer to a different. FTP service provider will budget some space for you depending on the requirement. With the help of FTP hosting service you may store digital files relating to the server and permit only the authorized people to access the information. The whole procedure is rather simple and easy to use.
Initially you must register for free of charge space in the FTP storage space. FTP hosting service provider is going to allocate you the space. Up coming comes problem of setting up FTP Customer. Each distant computer serves like FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL client throughout the transmission process. In other phrase it can be mentioned that FTP Customer is another element of FTP hosting service. For each and every FTP Consumer you will have distinct set of customer name and password. Files are uploaded from FTP client to FTP Hardware. Uploaded documents are stored in the FTP server for your given period (that depends upon the FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL service owner). Another person diagnosed with the expert to access the uploaded file can down load them through the FTP web server through another remote laptop or FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL Client. | http://www.infoproductreview.org/file-transfer-protocol-web-site-should-you-have-one/ | 2018/10/16 08:03:37 | mC4 |

The Pioneer Trail, a 16-site route of historically significant locations in Las Vegas, starts at the Springs Preserve and snakes east until it reaches above the brim of downtown.
It's a multi-agency project adopted in 2002 to underscore the rich, early beginnings of Las Vegas spanning the period of its earliest settlers to the 1950s — "a vision of the West Las Vegas community" to celebrate its culture and heritage, the trail's brochure says.
Beyond the early produce farm and the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort, the Woodlawn Cemetery and the Las Vegas Indian Colony, many of the Pioneer Trail's points of interest sit squarely in the Historic Westside, the pulse of the city's African-American community. It has struggled with economic development for decades.
"A lot of people, when they think of the black neighborhood, they think of degradation, stuff falling down, homeless people," said Katherine Duncan, president of the Ward 5 Chamber of Commerce and also a resident of Historic Westside.
The Pioneer Trail, she said, is one available avenue by which to educate outsiders, not only on the city's broader past but also on the neighborhood's storied history to transform assumptions.
"There's a lot to be proud about here," Duncan said during a recent tour. "But if you don't know what you're looking at, then you can come and form all kinds of opinions."
On a stretch of Jackson Avenue are vacant lots and tattered structures. But the thoroughfare was once the hub of the Historic Westside's commercial district in the 1940s and 1950s. A row of nightclubs attracted elite entertainers including Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole.
And few original buildings remain of the McWilliams Townsite, but the site, built in 1905, was the city's first business and residential development.
While those sites require imagination, others are easily visible.
One is the still-vibrant St. James the Apostle Catholic Church, built in 1940 as Las Vegas' second-ever Catholic church. The half-timbered Christensen House, which resembles a castle with a tower and rock facing, was built in 1935 by Lucretia Tanner Christensen Stevens, a black woman whose roots trace to pioneers.
The Moody House was the home where Herman Moody, the city's first black career policeman, was raised. And the Westside School, which has undergone renovations in recent years, was the first grammar school in Historic Westside and now serves as home to community radio station KCEP.
Harrison's Guest House, which today offers tours and also maintains a sustainability garden at its 1001 F St. location, acted as a short-stay residence in the 1940s and 1950s for black entertainers, such as Davis Jr., who were barred from renting rooms in the hotels on the Strip where they performed.
"We just want to show a balance," Duncan said. "Our image has really been tainted because we're always associated with negative, so I want people to see some positive."
The neighborhood has been stricken for years with a stigma raised by belonging to a ZIP code with extreme rates of food insecurity and poverty. But residents in the Historic Westside say the reputation is perpetuated by those who live elsewhere.
"The people outside of here have bought into the idea that this is the lowest of the low," said Abdul Shabazz, owner of a mobile denture lab business, who suggested the neighborhood had been hampered by a lack of positive information. "If this ZIP code is repackaged, it'd blow out the water."
Ora Bland, 85, arrived before 1955 with her husband, who went to work for the government's atomic testing program. She has resided in the same house ever since, which now is a short walk from the Interstate 15 underpass at F Street, where homeless congregate in the tunnel, a convenient resting spot located near social services.
Bland, however, said they mostly do not bother her. But if they did, she would have backup.
"In this particular neighborhood, right here," she said, "everybody looks out for each other."
Las Vegas Ward 5 Councilman Cedric Crear, who lives in the area's Bonanza Village, said residents "have a level of pride" and, like others, he noted he intentionally chose to build a life there.
Continuing revitalization
The Pioneer Trail, he added, was merely one portion of an ongoing revitalization in the historic area that will include welcoming signs and also a marquee at the Westside School.
Duncan said the plan is to add street markings to indicate the map toward each site and to increase the number of sites. Particularly, Duncan eyed Berkley Square, a nationally recognized historical neighborhood constructed in 1955 as the first subdivision for blacks in the state.
It was designed by famed black architect Paul Revere Williams, and Duncan points to that neighborhood and others such as Bonanza Village as signs of plenty of desirable living in the Historic Westside.
There was a period, however, when Berkley Square was on the decline, according to Ruth D'Hondt, a longtime resident and former president of the now-defunct neighborhood association.
Powered by resident volunteers and a city partnership, Berkley Square turned around, she said. But D'Hondt, 77, worried that interest in historical significance — the same curiosity that Duncan believes can be a conduit to showcase the Historic Westside — might be waning in the neighborhood at large among new generations of families.
The neighborhood group she led from 2006 until two years ago is without a clear successor, and many involved either died or became too old to participate, she said, leaving her to suggest that "someone must carry (the torch), or it will die."
For those like her, Duncan and others, lacking enthusiasm for the area's past is an unfamiliar concept.
"Every city has a history," Duncan said later in the tour. "Why don't we tell ours?"

Renz told H2-international: "We believe it's about time for hydrogen and fuel cells to enter the American energy debate at a large, established trade show. We think that with the Solar Power International and the Energy Storage International, we have found the perfect environment for advertising the global H2 and fuel cell industry in the United States." With 650 exhibitors and 18,000 attendees, SPI is said to be the largest solar energy trade show in North America. Benjamin Low, head of the Energy division at Deutsche Messe, explained: "Hydrogen + Fuel Cells NORTH AMERICA is therefore a perfect fit for Solar Power International. The respective technologies covered by the shows are closely interrelated and growing in importance." It is the first energy event for Deutsche Messe in the United States.
Asked what drives him to expand the reach of the industry, Renz said: "There are only two large H2 and fuel cell trade shows globally, one in Tokyo and one in Hanover." From time to time, a conference and an accompanying exhibition would show up in the United States or Canada, but these were typically events for H2 and fuel cell specialists only. He was looking for events dealing with renewable energy and storage in general.
