2 | example_10259 | Building Your Down Line
Down line MLM network marketing is the art of taking your business knowledge, combining it with your faith in the product you are selling, rolling it up and packaging it and then presenting it to a room full of strangers as the must have business opportunity they have searched for unsuccessfully until today. In other words, it turns a room full of unqualified leads into a room full of potential down line candidates for your multi level marketing (MLM) business.
There are seven tips for down line MLM network marketing that you will do well to remember the next time you are hosting a business opportunity presentation to attract potential candidates.
1. Do not be a stick in the mud. Train yourself in the art of small talk, the skill of the meet and greet occasion and how to introduce yourself to a complete stranger without talking about your accomplishments. The latter is probably the hardest aspect to accomplish. Yet so much is riding on your ability to come across in a personable manner.
2. Dress for success but do not overdress. It is tempting to show up at the business presentation in full regalia, such as suit and tie but keep in mind just exactly who your audience is. If you are presenting a business opportunity to a room full of college freshmen, the odds are against their wanting to turn into a room full of suit wearing business men in order to succeed. Slacks, a high quality dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and some well shined sleek footwear are the best way to dress for that room.
Conversely, if you are attending a Chamber of Commerce meeting, then a suit and tie may not be a bad idea. The weekend meet and greet at the street fair, on the other hand, will require just the right mix of successful yet not formal dressy but just relaxed enough to get the message across that this business opportunity is full of fun. Slacks and a golf shirt will do wonderfully.
3. Avoid the jargon. There is nothing more off putting than having someone jump into a presentation that is laden with industry specific terms. Unless you are pitching your business opportunity to a room full of seasoned network marketers, keep the lingo to a minimum.
4. Do not insult your audiences intelligence by reading verbatim from the brochure. Perhaps the most grievous sin committed during business presentations is the unimaginative mode of presentation. Think on your feet and adjust your presentation to fit the audience.
5. Never end your down line MLM network marketing presentation without asking the audience to make a commitment. Define for yourself ahead of time the scope of the commitment. Perhaps you will invite signups for a newsletter, hand out invites for another presentation or boldly ask for names and phone numbers of those ready to get serious about this business opportunity now.
6. Be open to criticism. There will always be a heckler in the audience and the better acquainted with your material you are, the easier it is to deal with the person.
7. Offer refreshments after the presentation. By offering the refreshments at the end, you will cause candidates to linger. This will give you an opportunity to schmooze with the ones who appear the most eager. | http://www.artipot.com/articles/75864/building-your-down-line.htm | 2017/08/22 18:50:09 | mC4 |

<>Things are looking good for those who are planning to put up a business in Pangasinan. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) reported that the investments infused into the province went up to P15 billion last year.
"Promotional activities in Pangasinan helped promote the province, which enticed businessmen to invest here," Peter Mangabat, the provincial director of DTI-Pangasinan, said in a Philippine Information Agency (PIA) forum.
As shown in the registrations, 90% of the businesses were focused on retailing. Infrastructure, facilities, conducive environment, and local incentives for businessmen are the most likely the factors to be cited for this, according to Mangabat. The digits show that the efforts to bolster Pangasinan's economy are paying off.
DTI is just one of the many agencies that are offering help to start up entrepreneurs and those planning to have their own business. It is advocating entrepreneurship as this would generate income for businessmen and provide employment to people."We want to promote entrepreneurship to people. You just have to be determined, resourceful and daring to risk for the uncertain." he explained.
DTI extends its help not only in Pangasinan, but in other areas as well. It has MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) centers nationwide to provide entrepreneurs the assistance and counselling they need about finance, marketing, technology, human resource development, and advocacy. "The centers are envisioned to be the focal points for MSMEs seeking assistance or information on government and private sector programs and services."
The department also conducts seminars on various entrepreneurial topics such as pricing and costing, taxation, and franchising every Tuesday at the 5th floor of the Trade and Industry Building, Sen. Gil Puyat Ave., Makati City.
Simultaneous trainings and seminars will be done in the Philippine Trade Center, starting in July, coinciding with the celebration of Small and Medium Enterprise week. DTI's seminars are still free of charge. | https://www.entrepreneur.com.ph/news-and-events/dti-at-least-p15-billion-investments-in-pangasinan-last-2013 | 2019/06/16 00:13:12 | mC4 |
3 | example_90735 | The last set of ventures probed at trial occurred during the fall of 1969. Marie Matthews met Pasqua and Leonard at this time and worked with them on several occasions cashing bonds in banks on the west side of Manhattan; she testified that she earned about $3,000, which was 15% of the total proceeds of the work, in her 20 to 30 trips with Leonard and Pasqua. Matthews was arrested on December 4, 1969.
Finally, Marabetti testified that when he was released from jail in January of 1970, having completed a term on a related charge, he met with Leonard who told him that if he wanted to do any more work in the "bond business," he should see John, who was taking it over for Leonard.
Three appellants challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support their convictions. Preliminarily, Calabro and John Conforti make a broad attack on the conformity of the evidence with the offenses charged in the indictment. John contends that a Series E bond is not embraced within the wording of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 495 and Calabro argues that the forgery of endorsements on otherwise genuine bonds does not violate that section. Neither contention has merit. Section 495 prohibits, inter alia, the making, alteration, forgery or counterfeiting of "any deed, power of attorney, order, certificate, receipt, contract, or other writing" for the purpose of obtaining money from the United States and the publishing or uttering of any such writing with intent to defraud the United States, knowing the false or forged nature of the paper. In Prussian v. United States, 282 U.S. 675, 51 S.Ct. 223, 75 L.Ed. 610 (1931) the Supreme Court held, under the predecessor to Sec. 495, that an endorsement is a "writing" within the purview of that section. And a forged endorsement on an obligation such as a government savings bond, if made "for the purpose of obtaining a sum of money from the Treasury of the United States," constitutes a violation of Sec. 495. Prussian v. United States, supra; United States v. Campo, 414 F.2d 765 (2d Cir. 1969). Each of the forgery counts charged that the endorsements were forged for the purpose of obtaining money from the United States and each of the uttering counts charged that the passing was done "with intent to defraud the United States, knowing the payee's name to be forged thereon." Hence the acts alleged and proved fell within the scope of Sec. 495.
The conspiracy count, worded somewhat differently, charged a conspiracy to forge and utter bonds and money orders, known to have been forged, with intent to defraud the United States. Read literally, this does not charge a conspiracy to forge endorsements. See Danielson v. United States, 321 F.2d 441, 444 (9th Cir. 1963). However, the evidence showed a conspiracy to forge bonds themselves as well as to forge endorsements on valid bonds. Some of the bonds supplied by Calabro and cashed by the group were blank and had to be completed and stamped to have even counterfeit validity. Despite the genuineness of the blanks from which the defendants worked, this process is a forgery of the bonds in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 471 which prohibits forging of an "obligation or other security of the United States," and their uttering constitutes a violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 472. See United States v. Craft, 407 F.2d 1065 (6th Cir. 1969). Thus, a conspiracy to violate sections 471 and 472 was charged, even if we take a possibly overtechnical view and find that one under Sec. 495 was not, and the evidence sustained the charges. The fact that the wrong section of the statute was cited does not invalidate either the charge or the convictions if, as here, no prejudice is shown to derive from the miscitation. United States v. Hutcheson, 312 U.S. 219, 229, 61 S.Ct. 463, 85 L.Ed. 788 (1941); United States v. Galgano, 281 F.2d 908, 910-911 (2d Cir. 1960), cert. denied sub nom. Carminati v. United States, 366 U.S. 960, 81 S.Ct. 1916, 6 L.Ed.2d 1253 (1961); United States v. McKnight, 253 F.2d 817, 820 (2d Cir. 1958); Rule 7(c) Fed.R.Crim.P.3
Calabro, who was convicted only on the conspiracy count, claims that though he may have been guilty of aiding the forging and uttering by selling bonds to Leonard and Graham, he did not conspire with the defendants to accomplish their aims. However, it is clear that his participation went deeper than the supplying of contraband in a few isolated transactions with no concern for the remainder of the operation. See United States v. Peoni, 100 F.2d 401 (2d Cir. 1938). He was the supplier of most of the bonds the group cashed, and though he was paid for some irrespective of whether they were cashed, he often received a percentage of the proceeds. The forging and uttering were thus a prerequisite to his realization of profit. Both Marabetti and Graham, who personally received packages of bonds from Calabro, were told by Leonard that Calabro was his boss, and Calabro himself told Faye Rushford that Leonard and Insalaco "worked for him." There was ample evidence that Calabro was a key member of the ongoing conspiracy.
John Conforti claims that he was a "fringe" defendant who entered the conspiracy late and was only tangentially involved in the transactions that occurred after he began to participate. The evidence, as noted above, belies this contention. In the early fall of 1968 he recruited Faye Rushford, telling her that the group cashed stolen bonds for a living, and he allowed his house to be used for the forging enterprise. In the late fall of 1968 and early winter of 1969, a period of particularly heavy cashing activity, John became Graham's partner and worked actively with the group. Thus, although John entered the conspiracy later than the others, the evidence was sufficient to sustain his conviction on the conspiracy count. His convictions on the substantive counts are also clearly sustainable. He assisted in the completion of the blank bonds the subject of counts 22 through 27 and received a share of the proceeds from their cashing; he aided and abetted the forging and uttering of the bonds listed in counts 14 and 15 by recruiting the woman who cashed them. On the other six counts on which he was convicted, the jury could have found him an aider and abettor because he was a member of the conspiracy at the time when the named bonds were passed. Pinkerton v. United States, 328 U.S. 640, 66 S.Ct. 1180, 90 L.Ed. 1489 (1946).
Tortorello also attacks the sufficiency of the evidence implicating him; he claims that even if the jury credited a statement by Graham that he was the source of twenty or more sets of false identification used to facilitate the passing of the bonds, there was no evidence that he knew when he supplied the papers that they would be used in bondcashing activity. Under United States v. Gallishaw, 428 F.2d 760 (2d Cir. 1970), the government had to show at a minimum, to sustain the conviction of Tortorello as an aider and abettor of the forging, that he knew that the identification he supplied the group was to be used in a transaction involving forged bonds. Though details of the actual cashing would not have to be known to him, a generalized suspicion of illegal use of the identification would not suffice.
The court properly instructed the jury on this point, noting that on each substantive count the jury must find that "the act of participation was done by the particular individual knowing it was for the purpose of furthering that particular venture set forth in the count" and that the requisite intent "must include the knowledge that it was for the purpose of forging or cashing" the bonds or money orders. Existence of this knowledge can be "inferred from the circumstances," United States v. Gallishaw, supra, 428 F.2d at 763, and though the evidence on this point was not abundant, it was sufficient to allow the jury to conclude that Tortorello knew that cashing of illegal obligations was being accomplished with the false papers he sold the defendants. Leonard introduced Tortorello to Marabetti as "the Tortie that gives us the identification." Whenever the enterprise ran short of identification, Leonard would tell Roche to notify Tortorello and pick up more from him; the latter brought a batch of driver's licenses, Social Security cards and draft cards to Nero's Nook one night in July, 1968. At the time of one sale of identification directly to Marabetti Tortorello indicated that he was familiar with Calabro and knew that he had authorized the transaction. These circumstances could provide the basis for an inference that Tortorello was well acquainted with the appellants' activities and knew that their venture involved the cashing of forged obligations. See United States v. Howell, 447 F.2d 1114 (2d Cir. 1971).
John and Calabro complain that the evidence showed multiple discrete conspiracies rather than the one charged in the indictment, and John claims that the court ought to have severed his trial from that of those involved in different agreements. The evidence, however, quite clearly established one conspiracy, extending over a three-year period, to forge and pass savings bonds, money orders, and obligations of other sorts, including municipal bonds, through an on-going network. The method of operation, the participating individuals at the middle and upper levels, and the goals of the parties to the continuing agreement remained steady throughout. Leonard and Insalaco operated the business; Roche, Pasqua, Marabetti and Graham were middle level "employees" through the money order and bond phases of the group's activities. John occupied a position somewhere between the two groups, and Calabro was the supplier; though John became a member after the money order phase had terminated, and though Calabro did not supply the money orders, neither John's entry nor Calabro's resumption of supply activities after the money order hiatus marked a new agreement by the group or a change in method of operation. Though the "movers" who did the actual cashing came and went over the years, the basic network continued intact throughout the entire period.
This group of forgers in fact exhibited the characteristics of the typical "chain" conspiracy; although all of the defendants may not have known and worked directly with all the others, there is evidence that each was aware of others in the line of distribution and of the larger nature of the operation in which he or she played a part. See Note, Federal Treatment of Multiple Conspiracies, 57 Colum.L.Rev. 387, 390-92 (1957); United States v. Borelli, 336 F.2d 376 (2d Cir. 1964). This is not a situation similar to that in Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750, 66 S.Ct. 1239, 90 L.Ed. 1557 (1946) in which numerous individuals, unconnected and unconcerned with one another, were tied solely to each one's involvement with one Brown. Here, the appellants were members of a large organization which they had joined with knowledge of its goals and with an intent to further them. John and Calabro were central members of this conspiratorial group.
Moreover, even if one concluded that two conspiracies were shown, one to forge postal money orders in the fall of 1967 and one of longer duration turning on savings bonds, John would not benefit thereby. "[T]he test for reversible error, if two conspiracies have been established instead of one, is whether the variance affects substantial rights. Fed.R.Crim.P. 52(a)." United States v. Agueci, 310 F.2d 817, 827 (2d Cir. 1962), cert. denied, 372 U.S. 959, 83 S.Ct. 1013, 10 L.Ed.2d 11 (1963); United States v. Vega, 458 F.2d 1234 (2d Cir. 1972). The requirements for sustaining a verdict in which there has been a variance have been met when there is no double jeopardy problem and no issue of unfair surprise deriving from the proof of two conspiracies rather than one (Berger v. United States, 295 U.S. 78, 55 S.Ct. 629, 79 L.Ed. 1314 (1935)), and when "[t]he several conspiracies, if there had been such, could have been joined in a single indictment or consolidated for a single trial and the conduct of the trial was such that the danger resulting from the admission of evidence not chargeable to any appellant was minimal." United States v. Agueci, supra, 310 F.2d at 827.
John claims that he did suffer prejudice from the inclusion of the postal money order conspiracy in his trial because it provoked testimony about the use of threats and physical force by Leonard on one of the money order "movers" to make clear to her that she was not free to cease working for him whenever she pleased. John also claims that proof on the money order counts distracted the jury from the counts and testimony in which he was involved. Proof on the money order counts, which comprised only two of the twenty-six substantive counts, did not unduly side track the trial, and the fleeting reference to physical violence in a trial of a month's duration does not warrant a severance. Nor was John a peripheral defendant, like Shuck in United States v. Kelly, 349 F.2d 720 (2d Cir. 1965), cert. denied, 384 U.S. 947, 86 S.Ct. 1467, 16 L.Ed.2d 544 (1966), whose connection to the overall conspiracy was so tenuous and different in quality from that of the main defendants that excessive care was necessary to avoid irreparable prejudice to him deriving merely from presence on trial with them. The trial court here took pains to explain to the jury the circumstances under which the evidence could be considered against one or more of the defendants and to avoid any prejudice to those defendants against whom certain facts were not admissible. We find no error based on a claim of the existence or proof of more than one conspiracy under the indictment.
The two most substantial arguments raised by the appellants arise from the alleged denial of assistance of counsel to Leonard Conforti and Joseph Calabro.
The factual background of Leonard's claim must be sketched in some detail. Conforti's retained attorney in a related case, James LaRossa, was to represent him at this trial, but when it became clear that he would be a crucial witness in a hearing on an alleged promise of immunity to Leonard, he was relieved by the court and Gerald Rosenthal was appointed to replace him. This substitution took place some time before trial, and the two had opportunities to talk about the defense in the interim. On the eve of trial, Rosenthal was appointed to represent John Conforti and his wife Loretta, named in one count dismissed at trial.
The conflict which led to Rosenthal's cessation of representation of Leonard grew out of Leonard's refusal to stipulate that the bonds named in certain counts of the indictment were in fact stolen and the signatures unauthorized. The government and all the other defendants and attorneys were willing, indeed anxious to do so, both to save time and to avoid highly prejudicial testimony. At the end of the first day of testimony by bondholders, Rosenthal announced to the court that Leonard was dissatisfied and wanted him removed from the case. Leonard objected, claiming that though they were having some difficulty, it was Rosenthal and not he who wished to sever the relationship. The court forbade Rosenthal to withdraw but advised the defendant that if he wished to dismiss his attorney he could do so and proceed pro se, with Rosenthal present to answer his questions. Rosenthal finally stated that he would insist on entering the stipulation were he to continue with Leonard and leave it to the client whether to accept or dismiss him for that reason. Leonard remained adamant in his refusal to stipulate, and the court announced that the testimony of bondholders would continue the next day and that Rosenthal would be present to represent Leonard.
The next morning Rosenthal reiterated that Leonard and now John wished to dismiss him. Leonard explained that Rosenthal's unwillingness to tell the court that it had been he who initiated the talk of dismissal, and his refusal to "properly defend" his client were the reasons for the request. Leonard told the court that he did not feel adequate to defend himself but that he would prefer that course to continuing with Rosenthal. The court denied Leonard's request for a half-day recess in which to obtain new counsel and gave him the choice of Rosenthal or self-representation. Leonard, followed by John and Loretta, chose the latter. The court did not discuss the matter further at that time, but told them they would have every courtroom right an attorney has and "one additional right, the right to make a fool of yourself by not having a lawyer." The trial proceeded.
Early the next morning Leonard, having contacted another lawyer but failed to persuade him to take the case on such short notice, requested that the court appoint new counsel for him. Judge Mishler refused, citing the inevitable delay that would follow the entry of new assigned counsel into the case. When no other defense attorney present volunteered to represent the Confortis, the court insisted that it was Rosenthal or no one.4 John and Loretta then accepted the reassignment of the attorney; Leonard chose to continue pro se. After he had conducted what could only be described as a disastrous cross-examination of one of the female witnesses, the court advised Leonard of some of the difficulties of pro se defense and reminded him of his continuing offer to reassign Rosenthal. Leonard refused the attorney's services and did a creditable job of representing himself throughout the remainder of the trial, conferring with Rosenthal and other attorneys when necessary.
Leonard really makes two claims-that he did not effectively waive the assistance of counsel and that the court erred in refusing to assign new counsel or to allow Leonard time to locate an attorney on his own. He claims that he made no "clear cut election" to waive his constitutional right to assistance of counsel because his request that Rosenthal withdraw did not follow "a full and calm discussion between the judge and the defendant" (United States v. Spencer, 439 F.2d 1047, 1050 (2d Cir. 1971)) with emphasis on "the risk, pitfalls and complexities inherent in [pro se representation] and the serious consequences of conviction," United States v. Duty, 447 F.2d 449, 451 (2d Cir. 1971). Although it is true that the trial court did not, at the moment of Leonard's request, discuss as fully as would have been desirable the consequences of his acts, we are convinced that Leonard intelligently and knowingly waived his right to counsel "even without such a caveat." United States v. Duty, supra, 447 F.2d at 451.
The decision on whether a defendant has effectively waived his Sixth Amendment right to counsel depends "in each case, upon the particular facts and circumstances surrounding that case, including the backgound, experience, and conduct of the accused." Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 464, 58 S.Ct. 1019, 1023, 82 L.Ed. 1461 (1938). The factors that this court has considered in making that determination are "whether the defendant understood that he had a choice between proceeding pro se and with assigned counsel, whether the defendant understood the advantages of having one trained in the law to represent him, and whether the defendant had the capacity to make an intelligent choice." United States v. Spencer, supra, 439 F.2d at 1050. The fact that the defendant's pro se representation turned out to be inadequate and ineffective is irrelevant to the issue of whether the waiver of his right to counsel was knowingly or intelligently made, but it is important that the court consider whether the defendant affirmatively made a choice or whether he proceeded alone only because he felt "he had no choice" and thus did not effectively waive his right. See United States ex rel. Higgins v. Fay, 364 F.2d 219 (2d Cir. 1966); United States v. Curtiss, 330 F.2d 278 (2d Cir. 1964). The trial court must make a "record sufficient to establish to our satisfaction that the defendant 'knows what he is doing and his choice is made with eyes open.' United States v. Plattner, 330 F.2d 271, 276 (2d Cir. 1964)." United States ex rel. Higgins v. Fay, supra, 364 F.2d at 222. | https://content.yudu.com/libraryHtml/A44317/BusinessNetworkDecJa/82.html | 2021-02-28T22:13:11Z | OSCAR-2109 |

2 | example_68855 | Random Writings: Book Review: How Doctors Think by Jerome Groopman
"Different doctors have different styles of practice, different approaches to problems. But all of us are susceptible to the same mistakes in thinking."
- From How Doctors Think by Dr. Jerome Groopman.
Dr. Jerome Groopman is an oncologist/hematologist and chief of experimental medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He has written several previous books and many magazine articles on medicine and biology. These have appeared in "The Boston Globe Sunday Magazine", "The New Yorker" and "The New Republic", among others. My opinion is that How Doctors Think, his latest book, should be required reading for every medical student, intern, resident and practicing physician. It wouldn't be a bad idea for patients who wish to better understand their medical care and insure that they are being treated for the proper diagnosis to read this as well.
The author notes the growing public demand for "quality of care" and reduction of medical error, citing recent reports from The Institute of Medicine and the National Patient Safety Foundation. He notes, however, that medical error differs from misdiagnosis. "It (misdiagnosis) is a window into the medical mind. It reveals why doctors fail to question their assumptions, why their thinking is sometimes closed or skewed, why they overlook the gaps in their knowledge. Experts studying misguided care have recently concluded that the majority of errors are due to flaws in physician thinking, not technical mistakes. As many as 15 percent of all diagnoses are inaccurate, according to a 1995 report which matches classical research, based on autopsies, which shows that 10 to 15 percent of all diagnoses are wrong."
What are the flaws in thinking that lead to these misdiagnoses? Dr. Groopman, referencing experts in cognitive theory and psychology, discusses three main categories of flawed thinking. The first is termed "anchoring". This is when the physician grabs on to the first symptoms discussed by the patient and comes to a snap judgment. The classic example of this is the overweight patient who complains of heartburn and is diagnosed with esophageal reflux when he actually is having angina. The second flaw derives from the first and is termed "attribution error" which is a sequence of diagnosis and treatment begun with anchoring and continuing because of the doctor's stereotyping of the patient. Again, the physician has formed a quick first impression and doesn't deviate from that assumption. The third and final flaw is called "availability error," that is, when thinking is clouded by recent experience. In this example, the last thirty patients with this symptom have had reflux disease, so that must be what this patient has as well. He illustrates each of these cognitive errors with very compelling true life case histories, many from his area of expertise, oncology.
Dr. Groopman also has unkind things to say about how physicians are taught to diagnose and treat. He dislikes diagnosis decision trees and treatment algorithms, feeling they limit thinking and promote another form of error which is termed confirmation bias. In this setting the physician makes the data he obtains "fit" the algorithm which often leads to misdiagnosis and failed treatment. The author is also not a fan of evidence based medicine, feeling that it relies too much on numbers which may be generated by flawed or limited technology. He also feels that strict use of evidence based medicine leaves no room for intuition, "hunches" or thinking outside of the algorithm.
The author also warns against what he terms "diagnosis momentum". This situation occurs when a patient is given a diagnosis by a specialist or academician and that diagnosis is never called into question by other physicians. The correctness of this diagnosis is never challenged, even if subsequent data may contradict it.
In the most important chapter in this book Dr. Groopman decries the lack of history taking skills in modern physicians. He quotes William Osler: "If you listen to the patient, he is telling you the diagnosis." One study is cited where the average time from the first open ended question from the doctor to the time of the first interruption by the doctor was 18 seconds. "Technology has taken us away from the patient's story" decries Dr. Groopman. Further: "Competency is not separable from communication skills. The art of medicine is the sensitivity to language and emotion that makes for a superior clinician." Profound words, those.
Dr. Groopman suggests three questions which patients should ask their doctors when they feel they are not responding to treatment. These are:
1- "What else can it be?" This question should prompt the doctor to pause, think again, and extricate himself from a cognitive trap
2- "Could two things be going on to explain my problem?" This addresses the pitfall of "satisfaction of search", so if the physician stopped looking after finding an initial abnormality (Ockham's Razor), he or she will now consider multiple causes for persistent symptoms.
3- "Is there anything in my history, physical examination or lab tests that seems to be at odds with the working diagnosis?" This question is an important safeguard against confirmation bias (making the data fit the diagnosis).
All of these seem to be reasonable questions a patient can use to refocus their diagnostic and treatment process when things are not going well.
I have only two complaints about this book. The first is that the author only spends one paragraph describing "defensive medicine" and the impact of litigation on decision making. There is no denying the reality that the shadow of malpractice litigation falls on every medical decision made and I think the author underplays it. The second complaint that I have is that he glosses over the business side of medicine. He does spend some time describing economic pressures which have dramatically increased the number of patients physicians must see daily just to remain economically viable. This obviously decreases the amount of time spent with each patient and increases the likelihood of cognitive as well as other errors. He never really delves into the cost of following "hunches" or thinking outside of the algorithm. The cost of searching for obscure or unlikely diagnoses is never really brought into the argument.
This book has already changed the way I practice. I find myself reviewing lab and radiology data looking for inconsistencies with my diagnoses. I am wary of "diagnosis momentum" and find myself asking a long-time patient the question "Let's start over and tell me how all of this started again?" I try not to stereotype patients and try to look past "non-compliance" as a diagnosis and try to find out why a patient is non-compliant with their treatment regimen. I try to let a patient talk for more than 18 seconds.

Cricketnext Staff |April 15, 2019, 1:03 AM IST
Amidst the IPL extravaganza, India's 15-member squad for the 2019 World Cup squad will be picked in Mumbai on Monday (April 15). At least 12-13 players automatically pick themselves for the mega event in England, but there are still some individuals who are uncertain about their place in the squad.
Here's a look at how some of these players have performed so far in the IPL 2019:
It was because of his outings in IPL 2018 that Rayudu made his return to the international cricket, but the way this season is panning out for the 33-year-old, it could lead to his exclusion from the World Cup. Rayudu was touted as India's No. 4 before he had a terrible home series against Australia and since then hasn't been able to find his form. Apart from a well-crafted 57 against Rajasthan Royals, Rayudu hasn't done much in this tournament. He has only managed 133 runs this season in seven games and it will be interesting to see if India persist with him despite his failures.

The 26-year-old from Karnataka didn't have a great start to the season, falling for 4 and 1 in his first two encounters. Rahul, however, has managed to turn things around since then and has scored three fifties and a century. He was at his very best against Mumbai Indians as he smashed an unbeaten 100 off 64 deliveries, but that was still not enough as Punjab were blown away by Kieron Pollard's brilliance. However, it was his 71* against the same team earlier in the tournament that helped his side clinch a win. While his 55 against Chennai was quite slow-paced and that led to their downfall, the right-hander redeemed himself by playing a matured knock of 71 not out to lead his team to a victory from a tense situation against Hyderabad.
Rahul is most likely to travel as the backup opener but has all the ingredients to take that crucial No. 4 spot as well. To add to that, he has done a pretty decent job behind the stumps and can pip other players on the basis of his wicket-keeping skills.
The left-handed dasher is a game changer, but Pant has time and time again proven that he can't be trusted in pressure situations. He started the IPL with a blistering 78 off 27 balls but since then the runs have dried up. He does have 245 runs to his name but the way he has been getting out might not work in his favour. Pant will be expected to finish matches for India, something that he's not doing for Delhi. The wicketkeeper-batsman has the habit of playing irresponsible shots at crucial stages and it might come back to haunt India if Pant gets the ticket for England. However, considering how bad Dinesh Karthik has been this season, Pant will almost certainly be MS Dhoni's backup in the World Cup.
While his team has been riding high on some tremendous individual performances, Karthik has failed to replicate his 2018 form this season. The wicketkeeper-batsman's only fifty came against Delhi in a losing cause and apart from that, Karthik hasn't done anything significant with the bat. With just 93 runs to his name at an average of 18.60, the only thing that can save Karthik's sinking ship is his experience. Pant himself hasn't done enough but the left-hander has played way better than Karthik this season.
Every one of those 132 runs from Vijay this season has been pleasing to the eye, but not once he has managed to go onto convert his starts into something substantial. He hit over 30 in the first two matches but then could only manage scores of 9, 16 and 5 in the next three games. Vijay once again had an opportunity to get a big score against Punjab but departed on 26 after getting set.
To add to that, Vijay has only bowled five overs, giving away 43 runs without any wicket to his name. In the absence of Hardik Pandya, Vijay did a decent job for India with both bat and ball and the idea of having two seam-bowling all-rounders in England is quite tempting.
Apart from getting smashed against Kolkata on Sunday (April 14), Jadeja has been in terrific form with the ball. The left-arm spinner has scalped seven wickets in eight games and has been economical as well. Even in the match against Kolkata where he was slammed for 49 runs, Jadeja scored a match-winning 31*. He has played most of his games on turning tracks and that's not going to be the case in England. However, he is someone who contributes in all departments of the game and will most probably be on that flight to England.
Umesh's form, just like his franchise's, has been horrible. The right-arm pacer has picked up only two wickets at an economy of 8.92 and an average of 84. Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami will travel to England and even if India are looking for the fourth pace bowling option, it's almost certain that they won't be going with Umesh, especially with the option of having both Hardik and Vijay in the squad.

1 | example_88490 | The first week of the 2016 NFL season is almost fully in the rearview mirror, but for many team the ugliness is just getting started. A few teams already entered week one with some suspensions or banged up players, but some unlucky franchises had even worse news piled on after week one.
To aid you in your NFL Betting and fantasy football endeavors, we’ll recap the latest injury and suspension news head of the new week. Going into week two, here are the big names and situations you need to account for:
Keenan Allen was by far the biggest name to go down in week one, as he reportedly suffered a torn ACL and will be lost for the year. It’s a massive blow for the Chargers, who lost Allen to a lacerated kidney last season and really fell off a cliff offensively from that point on. Needless to say, the Chargers may not be a good team to bet on until we see how they adjust.
San Diego still has some weapons at their disposal, while young receivers Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams could see massive roles going forward. Both have sleeper DFS appeal ahead of week two, but could also come up lame. Use them at your own risk.
Rob Gronkowski was inactive for week one, as he continued to deal with a hamstring issue he has called a “week to week” issue. Considering he sat out this past week, it stands to reason he could be ready to return in week two.
Gronk will be in play in fantasy circles if back, but New England won without him last week and may not want to rush him back. Martellus Bennett could benefit with him out, while the Pats obviously lose a little reliability offensively without Gronkowski and could be shaky bets.
Russell Wilson was able to finish Seattle’s week two win and the Seahawks are saying his ankle injury is “not serious”, but there has been chatter that he could sit out a week or two.
With Wilson likely icing and resting this week, he should probably be good to go for week two. He may not be an ideal play at less than full strength against a good Rams defense, of course.
Jamaal Charles sat out the first week of the season, as head coach Andy Reid suggested he still wasn’t ready to play after tearing his ACL in 2015. Charles is getting close, but it’s possible he could remain out or be limited in week two.
If Charles is out again, Spencer Ware would once again be a very attractive play in all fantasy leagues. Ware was a total machine in week one, piling on over 100 receiving yards and two scores.
Chris Ivory was one of the few surprising week one inactives, as he was taken to a hospital early on Sunday after awaking with severe pain. It’s unclear what Ivory’s exact medical issue is, but he remains in the hospital and may face an uphill battle to suit up in week one.
T.J. Yeldon manned the Jacksonville backfield in week one, and while he only rushed for 39 yards on 21 carries, was able to pile on solid yardage and even find the end-zone. If Ivory is out again in week two, Yeldon could be an attractive value play at DraftKings.
Thomas Rawls was a total masher at running back for Seattle last year, up until he broke his ankle. Seattle planned to ease him in to start the year, and that’s precisely what they did in week one with Rawls running the ball just 12 times.
Rawls already is touching the ball a decent amount, though, and head coach Pete Carroll is now saying Seattle should be looking to get their top rusher even more involved going into week two. Rawls is getting very close to full strength and in time should again be the Seahawks’ top running back.
This is probably good news for Seattle in terms of NFL betting, but this may be a situation to avoid for now in daily fantasy football.
Sammy Watkins entered 2016 with a foot injury that had him at “less than 100%” and reports suggest he exited in even worse condition. Rumors have been flying around his status, as some suggest he could sit out this week, some say he’ll miss the entire season and others figure he’ll merely have to play hurt.
With Watkins not himself, he could be a very dangerous play in fantasy football. His injury naturally impacts the Bills on offense, but it could be worth looking into Robert Woods and other Buffalo receiving threats if Watkins can’t play this week.
Robert Griffin III’s Cleveland debut did not go as planned, as the former Redskin failed to score and threw a pick in a blowout loss to the Eagles. To make matters worse, RG3 suffered a shoulder injury that reports suggest could be serious.
As @PSchrags alluded, Cleveland source says Browns' QB RGIII has a "potentially serious" shoulder injury. Testing today.
The latest word is the Browns plan to take a closer look at Griffin’s shoulder and it’s possible he could be out “awhile”.
If RG3 is out for any amount of time, the Browns figure to hand the offensive keys over to veteran passer Josh McCown. McCown could be an interesting DFS value play, should he get the week two start.
Teddy Bridgewater has been known to be out for the remainder of the season for over a week now, but it still is unclear what the Vikings plan to do under center. Sam Bradford seems very close to taking over the reigns, seeing as the Vikings badly needed two defensive touchdowns to earn a win in week one.4
Bradford still doesn’t have the playbook completely down and it may take time to get his chemistry down with his teammates, but Minny isn’t winning with Shaun Hill at the helm. Don’t be shocked if the switch goes down ahead of Minnesota’s huge week two contest with the Green Bay Packers.
Another injury to monito is Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, who banged up his ribs in week one and could miss some time as he works his way back to full strength.
Early reports suggest the athletic Ertz is “week to week”, which could put him in doubt for week two. Should he indeed sit, that’d be one less weapon for Carson Wentz, while backup tight end Brent Celek could potentially be a solid DFS value play.
Delvin Breaux isn’t a household name, but he certainly was one of New Orleans’ best defensive talents on a defense that already wasn’t very good. He went down in week one and considering the Saints are as bad as ever on defense and just got burned for 35 points by the Raiders, things aren’t looking good going forward.
Breaux will specifically be out roughly six weeks thanks to a broken leg, and it’s going to provide a massive hit to an already awful Saints’ pass defense.
Naturally, New Orleans could be in serious trouble on the road against the 1-0 New York Giants in week two. Oh, and Odell Beckham Jr. will probably be the #1 DFS wide receiver.
As we mentioned in the intro, there were a good amount of suspensions and injuries that carried into the start of the season.
Tom Brady, Josh Gordon, Le’Veon Bell and Marcell Dareus are arguably the biggest names who are still serving suspensions going into week two. Brady, Gordon and Dareus will all be banned through week four, while Bell can return after the first three weeks are up.
Their respective teams could obviously suffer without them on the field, so keep that in mind when you’re finalizing week two NFL bets or any bets in the next few weeks. Their absence naturally can mean big things for their backups in fantasy football leagues, as well.
Concerning this group, Jimmy Garoppolo, DeAngelo Williams, Corey Coleman and Terrelle Pryor continue to benefit the most from a fantasy perspective. Dareus not being in the middle of Buffalo’s defensive line hurts them in all regards and they desperately need him back.
That about does it for our look back on the big week one NFL injuries. Be sure to keep checking back all week as we touch on the biggest news and offer NFL betting and fantasy insight. | OSCAR-2019 |

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- Richard Lagow and Indiana's senior-laden defense weren't going to let a severe storm wash out their farewell party Saturday.
Over the last two weeks, the defense has 12 sacks, six turnovers and allowed 14 points -- the fewest in consecutive conference games since back-to-back shutouts against Northwestern and Michigan State in 1993.

"They're putting up big numbers offensively," Rutgers defensive coordinator Jay Niemann said. "I know what I see when I look at the film: That's an offense that can move the ball. They've moved the ball consistently throughout the course of the year against most teams.
"The quarterback situation has been a two-horse race. Both throw the ball well. Their run game changes a little bit based on who is back there. Really good players who understand their system and utilize all their weapons.
"They've got several good receivers and a tight end who is probably a little bit under the radar but I think is a good player. And a couple good young backs and a solid offensive line. They've got a good offensive system."
Will Jerry Kill be Rutgers OC in 2018? Chris Ash says yes
Indiana coach Tom Allen was as kind about Rutgers' improvements.
"They are a much better football team, for sure, after watching them on film," Allen said. "Just following them throughout the season, you can tell there's a big difference.
"Coach Ash has done a great job there and their kids are buying into what he's doing. Last year we were down by 11 at their place and had to fight to get that one up there. We know it's going to be a tremendous opportunity for us, tremendous challenge wrapped up into one. Our kids have had a really good week of preparation, and I expect them to play our best." | https://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2017/11/rutgers_vs_indiana_live_score_updates_and_stats_11_1.html | 2018/09/21 11:39:29 | mC4 |

3 | example_19578 | Heathrow Expansion - 61 unserved African routes; 27 African countries!
16 May 2018 // Star Feature // 1 Comment »
In the latest of a series of analyses leading up to the anna.aero-RABA Heathrow HubLAB conference next month, we take a look at which country markets and routes are missing from Europe's largest hub airport to Africa and the Middle East. Heathrow HubLAB is the FREE-OF-CHARGE Heathrow Connectivity Conference taking place at the Heathrow-hosted British-Irish Airports EXPO at London Olympia 12-13 June 2018 (200 exhibitors, 3,000 visitors). This FREE event is an important opportunity for airports to find out more about airline plans to provide new services from an expanded Heathrow. The Star Presentation will be made by easyjet's Group Director of Strategy & Network, Robert Carey, who will explain the plans for a Heathrow easyJet base.
27 Africa countries link to European hubs (but not LHR)
A key benefit of Heathrow Expansion, including a third runway, is to make extra capacity available for new links to underserved markets. This analysis reveals there are 27 countries in Africa with links to other major European hubs, but no connections to London Heathrow. It also highlights six African routes that have been dropped from Heathrow since S08, which might be among the top candidates for new services when extra capacity becomes available, plus the 12 largest unserved African destinations from Heathrow with services to other European mega hubs.
No airport in the world has an easyJet Heathrow service – yet. Airports who want one should come and listen to the star presentation by Robert Carey, Group Director of Strategy & Network, will explain easyJet's Heathrow base plans.
LHR-Middle East – well connected (but fewer African markets than all the FLAPI hubs)
To put Heathrow's connections to Africa and the Middle East into perspective, we have considered them alongside those of the other European mega hubs, namely Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris CDG and Istanbul Atatürk, which together with London Heathrow we refer to as the FLAPI airports. An analysis of schedule data for S18 reveals that Heathrow will provide 2.97 million one-way seats to the Middle East. This is second only to Atatürk and represents significantly more available capacity than that on offer from CDG, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Heathrow will offer 43% more seats to the Middle East this summer in contrast to S08 and will serve 11 countries in the region, equal with CDG and three more than Amsterdam but one less than Atatürk and Frankfurt. Iraq is the only country market in this region that has links to other FLAPI hubs, but has no Heathrow services, being connected to both Atatürk and Frankfurt. There are a number of specific Middle Eastern airports with links to Atatürk, which are not connected to Heathrow, but most of these are not served by Frankfurt, CDG or Amsterdam either, suggesting some could be niche markets that work due to their proximity to the Turkish hub. Since Heathrow is already well connected to the Middle East, Africa will be the main focus for new route opportunities in this analysis.
The table below shows how the FLAPI airports compare in terms of connections and S18 capacity to Africa, along with their capacity growth since S08. Heathrow is connected to 12 African countries and 16 destinations. It is the largest FLAPI origin airport for just four of these destinations: Addis Ababa, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Lagos, and the only one with a link to Luxor.

AMS 14 27 923,277 33%
Source: OAG Schedules Analyser S18 and S08.
Heathrow and Africa: down 20%; well behind Istanbul, Paris
Heathrow is connected to fewer African country markets and individual destinations than all of the other FLAPI hubs. CDG leads the way with 32 countries and 53 airports served this summer, followed by Atatürk with 24 countries and 39 airports. Heathrow will offer the third-most capacity to Africa among the FLAPI airports in S18, slightly ahead of Frankfurt and Amsterdam, but considerably behind Atatürk and CDG, with the Paris hub providing 140% more seats.
Back in S08, Heathrow was second only to CDG in this market, but since then its departing seats to Africa have been cut by 20%. It was the only FLAPI hub to see a reduction in capacity to Africa from S08 to S18 with Atatürk growing rapidly as Turkish Airlines expanded its hub operation, and CDG, Frankfurt and Amsterdam all seeing an increase in African capacity of around one-third or more. Heathrow has subsequently been overtaken by Atatürk, caught by Frankfurt and is being reeled in by Amsterdam in terms of departing seats to Africa. A lack of capacity at Heathrow is likely to be the major contributing factor for the decline in African services.
Unserved African airports with Euro links
In total, there are 27 African countries and 61 airports with services to at least one FLAPI hub, but no connections to Heathrow in S18. Clearly not all of these destinations will be viable from Heathrow, since there will be very specific city and country pairs in which demand is influenced by shared cultural and economic ties, some of which have been born out of Europe's colonial past. Nevertheless, these destinations are a good starting point when identifying potential demand for additional African links from Heathrow.
The below table lists the top 12 African destinations based on combined capacity from the FLAPI hubs in S18, that do not have a direct service from Heathrow. The largest of these is Marrakech, which is already served from Amsterdam, CDG and Frankfurt. Four of the five largest destinations are in North Africa. Seven of the top airports already have links to more than one FLAPI hub. The largest country market with FLAPI links but no Heathrow service is Tanzania.

Source: OAG Schedules Analyser S18.
Six African routes have been dropped from Heathrow since S08: Dar es Salaam, Dakar, Entebbe, Freetown, Lusaka and Tripoli. Some of these could be candidates for reinstatement when additional capacity becomes available. The largest African airport (based on departing capacity in S18) without a direct connection to Heathrow is Durban in South Africa. This will soon be rectified with British Airways recently confirming its intention to begin serving the airport pair three times weekly in W18/19.
UAE and South Africa are top Middle East/Africa markets
This analysis uses data from countries based on OAG's classification of the Middle East and North, Eastern, Southern and Central/Western Africa. When capacity for these regions is combined, eight of the 12 largest country markets from Heathrow in S18 are in the Middle East, with only four (highlighted in orange) in Africa. The UAE tops the table with more than twice as much capacity as the next largest market. The biggest African market from Heathrow is South Africa, with Johannesburg being the single largest destination. Heathrow's four largest African country markets – South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt and Kenya – will account for 72% of the airports departing seats to the continent alone this summer.

Home» blog » Mike Gonzalez We Need real Assimilation #proudtobeanamerican @heritage @Rushlimbaugh @megynkelly For real independence we need patriotic assimilation
The virtues of the new republic were taught to the citizenry in a system of "Common Schools" that arose throughout 19th Century America. They had, as Mark Edward DeForrest put it, "a large role in assimilating and educating the offspring of the immigrants then moving into the United States from Europe."
We don't have to replicate the methods that served this country of immigrants well from the 18th to the 20th century. But we shouldn't do the opposite: segregate immigrants into groups and then teach them to deride America (If anyone doubts this is what we do, please open Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, to this day Amazon's No. 1 bestselling textbook in political ideologies).

Pea Powers
Peas are one of the magic ingredients in CHKN Not Chicken and are our primary source of protein. By now you probably know peas are packed with protein. In fact, each serving of CHKN Not Chicken has 20 grams of protein.
But did you know pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids that your body cannot create and must get from food?
Pea protein is also a good source of branched-chain amino acids, especially arginine — which promotes healthy blood flow and heart health — and leucine, isoleucine and valine — which promote muscle growth. As if that wasn't enough, peas are also high in iron. CHKN Not Chicken really packs a nutritious (and delicious) punch.
Of course what ISN'T in CHKN Not Chicken is almost as exciting as all that plant-based goodness. CHKN Not Chicken is cruelty-free, vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, and has no artificial ingredients or flavors. Nothing but the good stuff! | https://chknnotchicken.com/pages/power-of-peas | 2022/07/04 05:49:39 | mC4 |

How to find a reduced residue system modulo of a number?
The reduced residue system modulo $10$ is: $1, 3, 7, 9$
But how could we find these numbers?
The only thing I know is they're relatively prime to $10$. What does it mean by "no two different elements of the set are congruent to modulo m"? Thanks,
elementary-number-theory share|cite|improve this question asked Feb 26 '11 at 23:23
If you know that they are relatively prime to 10, isn't that your answer?
@PEV: Thanks, I understand it now. How about the second part "no two different elements of the set are congruent to modulo m". Could you help me explain this as well?
Exactly. the first part gives the solution while the second part tell when to stop.
The line "no two different elements of the set are congruent modulo $m$" just means that all of your elements are distinct modulo $m$. For example, $1,3,7,9,11,111,1111$ are all relatively prime to $10$, but they do not form a reduced residue system since $1,11,111,1111$ are all the same modulo $10$ Another way to specify the condition is: The reduced residue system modulo $N$ is the set of all integers $m$ with $\gcd(m,N)=1$ and $0\leq m\leq N$.
share|cite|improve this answer answered Feb 26 '11 at 23:32
Thanks, I got it ;)
Presumably you refer to the Wikipedia definition of reduced residue system. The point of the definition is to specify a system of representatives for the $\rm\:phi(n)\:$ congruence classes that are units (invertible) $\rm\ (mod\ n)\:.\:$ This amounts to choosing a set of $\rm\:\phi(n)\:$ integers coprime to $\rm\:n\:$ such they they are all distinct $\rm\ (mod\ m)\:$.

Home / Liga / Primera / Forget the Mayans, Armageddon still looms for a number of La Liga clubs
Forget the Mayans, Armageddon still looms for a number of La Liga clubs
Updated: 6 January, 2013
After the doom mongerers recently predicted Armageddon would bring an end to civilization, it is somewhat comforting to have survived to see in the New Year and the resumption of La Liga. Nonetheless, there are still a number of teams in the Spanish top flight who are still trying to avoid catastrophe.
Sevilla will feel a whole lot better after Emir Spahic's goal saw off Osasuna at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday evening, after all the 1-0 triumph gave them their first victory in six attempts – Michel's side having picked up just one point going into the match against Jose Luis Mendilibar's outfit.
Sevilla have secured a modest 11 points from the last 33 that were available to them and have also picked up eight red cards this season – heading the league in this department. In fact discipline was a key factor during Sevilla terrible run and in the six games they have finished the game with ten man this term, they have failed to win.
Jesús Navas, arguably their best player, has just two assists to his name so far this season – half that of this time during the 2011/12 campaign. The good news for Míchel, however, is that Navas tends to improve following the winter break.
Another team that headed into 2013 teetering over the abyss was Jose Luis Oltra's Deportivo La Coruña. The Galicians were two points adrift at the foot of the table and had conceded the most goals in the league with 39. Having won just one of the previous 18 games, Depor's board finally lost patience with Oltra and he was dismissed on 30 December.
Former Sporting Lisbon coach Domingos Paciencia was installed as Oltra's successor and he made an instant impact – guiding them to a richly deserved 1-0 victory of Malaga on Saturday evening, a result which took them off the bottom.
Having guided Depor back into the top flight after just one season in Spain's second tier, Oltra may feel hard done by, however, the table offers enough to suggest he can have little complaint. The fact that Depor failed to pick up a single win during the months of September, October and December tells its own story.
They have conceded five or more goals in four occasions and the only two times they scored more than two they failed to pick up a win.
Mallorca are another side currently on a downward spiral in La Liga. Joaquin Caparros's side sit just one point above the drop zone, and haven't won a single game in the last 14 attempts.
It all started so well for Mallorca, as they went undefeated in the first five matches, however, they haven failed to win since. Caparross' side lost every game in October and picked up just one point in November and December.
Another team struggling at the wrong end of the table is Andalucian side, Granada. The team coached by Juan Antonio Anquela began the season without a win in the first five games and have now won just twice in their last 11 games.
Granada have also struggled to find the net, going five games without a goal until the netted two against Ossauna just before Christmas. They also scored on Saturday evening against Valencia, unfortunately for Anquela and his men however, Los Che managed two. Granada's impotence up front is nothing new as their top scorer last season after 18 games only had two. They were also the worst scoring side half way through last season.
The fact that all four teams discussed are in action this weekend means that the world obviously didn't come to an end in December, in fact far from seeing their demise, Sevilla and Deportivo have enjoyed a fantastic start to the New Year and will have renewed confidence they can now build on these displays and climb up the table.
Things look a little less rosy for Granada and Mallorca if they cannot turn around their dreadful form of late however, and both look set for a difficult 2013. We may not have seen the world come to an end in recent weeks, but relegation to the Spanish second tier would certainly feel just as bad for those unfortunate to be their at the end of the season.

0 | example_56752 | Uttarakhand and speedy justice..! – Daily Pakistan Observer –
How quickly the courts came to the rescue of the beleaguered government in Uttarakhand! In just a matter of days a weeping chief minister was looking joyful and happy. Most of us were very proud how fast the courts worked, but did we realise that if it had been one of us, justice would have taken decades to happen? That a case can drag on till the person seeking justice is dead and gone?
In a democracy, both the decisions of the elected members and that of the judiciary go hand in hand. It has to be so perfectly balanced, one cannot override the other, and when this happens democracy thrives and flourishes. But when courts lag behind, when judgements are not delivered in time, and judges are holidaying most of the year, then there is actually no democracy. What we have in this country is the rule of a lynching mob.
In the good old days of the cowboys in America, a lynching mob would gather to dispense justice quickly; they would not wait for the sheriff to come to take a horse thief or a coloured person to prison, but the mob would decide by majority vote to kill the man. "Why are you hanging me, I only stole a horse!" he would cry in terror, but the mob would hang him, because that was their idea of speedy justice.
It was not justice, it was anger. It was revenge. It was prejudice. Justice is not about anger or revenge, justice is about fair punishment for a crime or no punishment for no crime. In our country it becomes punishment as soon as you file a case!
I have seen men and women becoming poverty stricken as every last paisa goes towards lawyer's fees, court dates, delays, adjournments and other harassments, and have seen resolute brave men and women become tired and broken as the nation's justice system breaks them bit by bit.
No government is interested in bringing in judicial reforms, because elected representatives look at courts as rivals. They feel courts rob them off their power, and very often those powers are those of the lynching mob. Most governments also have a sizable number of criminals in their fold. Not only do we have less courts, less judges, but also remnants of the old British holidays and most courts work only 200 days a year. Men and women languish in jail, and after ten, fifteen, twenty years are found innocent! Is that justice? This could happen to any one of us, and before we become old men and women and leave jail or the court with walking sticks let us demand more courts, more judges, less holidays.
Till that happens we cannot claim to be a democracy, unless ofcourse we are a beleaguered government in Uttarakhand..! | https://pakobserver.net/uttarakhand-and-speedy-justice/ | 2018/11/20 18:56:34 | mC4 |

Bacteria produce petrol-like bio-fuel
"' another significant
Berkeley, California, USA — ESI-AFRICA.COM — 08 March 2011 – University of California chemists have engineered bacteria to churn out a petrol-like bio-fuel at about 10 times the rate of competing microbes "' a breakthrough that could soon provide an affordable and 'green' transportation fuel.
The advance is reported in this week's issue of the journal Nature Chemical Biology by Michelle Chang, assistant professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley, graduate student Brooks Bond-Watts and recent UC Berkeley graduate Robert Bellerose.
Among the reasons for engineering microbes to make fuels is to avoid the toxic byproducts of conventional fossil fuel refining, and ultimately to replace fossil fuels with more environmentally friendly bio-fuels produced from plants.
"If microbes can be engineered to turn nearly every carbon atom they eat into recoverable fuel, they could help the world achieve a more carbon-neutral transportation fuel that would reduce the pollution now contributing to global climate change," Chang added. | https://www.esi-africa.com/top-stories/bacteria-produce-petrol-like-bio-fuel/ | 2021/09/25 12:10:18 | mC4 |

Generating referrals on steroids
We all intuitively understand the power of referrals. But most people leave them to chance.
One of the most powerful ways to target prospects in your market is to find someone who already has them as clients, and would be willing to refer you on.
In marketing speak, we call this a host/beneficiary approach.
Which is exactly what a client of ours recently arranged.
The host in our case is well known in his market and has a list of thousands of email and newsletter subscribers who value his advice. He has a regular TV show and is considered an authority in his space.
Our client (also an expert in this area) has appeared with him as a guest on his TV show on many occasions which means the host's credibility rubs off on him by inference.
Our client created a valuable report targeted at the host's clients.
The Host sent out a couple of emails offering the report. Over 2,260 people directly in our client's target market responded with their full name, email and mobile number within days.
And this is over Christmas!
Not only that, but a significant number took advantage of a further offer where our client gets to review their situation and recommend solutions.
The rest are kept warm by receiving weekly tips in the area our client specialises in. A percentage of those will go on to become clients when they're ready.
Now I should point out this isn't altruistic on the part of the host. In this case they charged a significant sum to access the list. However, the cost per targeted lead has worked out at 10% of what a non-targeted lead from social media produces. And as each client can be worth tens of thousands of dollars over their lifetime, money well spent.
Of course you can also create host/beneficiary relationships where no money changes hands. Or you pay a percentage as a commission. Or just have a reciprocal relationship.
A well thought out host/beneficiary relationship is a triple win.
It's a win for you as you get targeted leads. It's a win for your referral partner as they're seen to be adding value to their clients. And finally, it's a win for the potential client as they're receiving something of value.
Done right, this is a very powerful mechanism which should be in every business owner's arsenal.
If you'd like help setting up host/beneficiary relationships to boost your growth, give me a hoy. We'll help you choose the hosts, create the value messages and execute the program

A method of duplicating a large number of plastics optical elements comprising moulding each block (1) of a plastics material in a mould tool at an elevated temperature and pressure to produce a required profile (2), allowing the block (1) to cool under pressure prior to removal and annealing the block (1) with other moulded blocks if desired, in the free state comprising further cooling followed by heating to just below the softening or glass transition point of the polymerized block, placing the block (1) in a second finishing glass mould (14) with a profile (13) filling a moulding space (16) remote to the required profile (2) with a liquid photopolymerizable resin, curing the liquid resin by irradiation with light at ambient temperatures through the mould (14) and removing the element so formed from the finishing mould (14).
GB 2 082 107 A SPECIFICATION Plastics optical elements which comprise a moulded plastics material coated on one face with a photopolymerized resin 5 This invention relates to a method of duplicating a large number of optical elements in which each optical element has at least one accurately profiled optical surface of a required shape, and to a method of manufacturing such elements which comprises placing a block of a polymerizable monomer composition in a hot mould tool having at least one surface complementary to the required shape, moulding the block against the at least one complementary surface of the mould tool by the application of heat and pressure and 10 *. removing the moulded block therefrom. - It is known that composite optical elements may be produced by shaping a blank of a hard, stable, light " transmissive material such as glass, to a first approximately accurate shape and by moulding a light transmissive thermosetting resinous material thereon to reproduce a second, closer approximation of the required shape. 15 U.K. Patent No. 1,301,551 describes the preparation of an optical element in which the surface of a blank or substrate is processed to enable a thermosetting resin to adhere thereto by placing the blank in a mould having an aspheric mould surface and injecting the thermosetting resin material, in liquid form, into the space between the substrate and the mould surface, allowing the liquid material to harden and removing the optical element from the mould. The intrinsic properties of thermosetting resins, however, are such that an 20 application of sensible heat is required and that the cure time to harden the liquid resin material increases with a decrease in temperature. Thus, in order to keep the cure time of the liquid resin reasonably short elevated cure temperatures have to be used. This results in that the temperature of mould and also of the blank being moulded follows and/or even matches the elevated cure temperature of the heated liquid resin. Consequently, a thermal expansion of each of the components occurs and, as the thermal coefficients of 25 expansion of each of the mould materials used are different, a differential thermal expansion of the components results and the profile of the resultant optical element at ambient temperatures differs from the required profile in manner which can neither be accurately estimated for nor compensated against. Afurther disadvantage is that the shrinkage of the liquid resin, on curing or hardening, increases with an increase in the cure temperature for short cure times. The amount of shrinkage that the liquid resin 30 additionally shrinks on curing is related to the type of resin used, the degree of polymerization and whether or not special fillers can be incorporated therein in order to compensate for the shrinkage. Many resins however which have a desired optical clarity also have a high shrinkage on curing and an unexpected unreliable coefficient of thermal expansion which, priorto the present invention, were excluded from use for optical elements of high precision elements, particularly when produced by compression moulding 35 techniques and, it is undesirable to include more than very small amounts of fillers as additives to such resins to reduce shrinkage. For similar reasons it is also undesirable to add to the liquid resins heretofore used in more than very small quantities, other additives, such as, catalysts, plasticizers and/or accelerators in order to increase the rate of cure of the resin. The cure time for a large number of light transmissive thermosetting resins at slightly elevated ambient temperatures frequently is between 10 minutes to 30 40 minutes for each element. This time is still too long for quantity production purposes and the resins even after this time are still frequently in an easily deformable and damageable form with their full hardness not being reached for 24 hours or more. Furthermore, during the cure time whilst the resin is being hardened and cured in the mould tool the mould can not be used for the preparation of other optical elements. As such master mould tools are both expensive to prepare and in a limited supply this is most inconvenient and 45 effectively prevents the production of large numbers of substantially identical optical elements of high optical performance. One attempt to avoid the disadvantages of shrinkage of an all plastics element is described by U.K. Patent *No.858,218 wherein precision optical elements are made from moulded synthetic resins in which a main 'body of a polymerizable monomer composition is placed in a first mould having at least one substantially 50 Optically perfect mould surface, applying polymerizing conditions to set said body at least in an area ^adjacent said surface, shaping another surface of said body remote from the surface formed by said mould surface and affected by shrinkage on polymerization, applying to said other surface an additional body of monomer composition, placing the at least partly polymerized main body in a finishing mould with said other surface in engagement with a substantially optically perfect surface of said finishing mould and 55 applying conditions to complete the polymerization of said bodies and to fuse said bodies into a unitary whole. The Applicants' have discovered that certain internal stresses may be formed in composite plastics elements for example when formed by fusing one partly polymerized monomer to an additional body of a monomer. Such internal stresses can adversely affect the profile of the optical elements. The coefficient of 60 expansion of a polymer may reflect the thermal history that the polymer has been subjected to in the case of a composite body of plastics materials the thermal history of each component part should therefore either be identical or eliminated for at least the additional components. It is known from the Journal of Applied Physics, Vol 39, No.3, February 1968, pp. 1890-1899 that the coefficient of expansion of non-composite moulded plastics materials can change in accordance with the 65 GB 2 082 107 A thermal treatment applied below the glass transition temperature. In this article there is described the thermal treatment of plastics materials such as, poly-n-butyl methacrylate (PnBMA) when annealed at 0[deg.]C for 3 days and cooled to -190[deg.]C in one hour has a coefficient of expansion of 0.67 x 10<4>deg<-1>, when quenched from 100[deg.]C to -190[deg.]C has a coefficient of 0.83 x 10<4>deg<_1>; when quenched from -190[deg.]Cfor 1 hour from the glass transition temperature has a coefficient of 0.71 and when quenched from 55[deg.]C to - 78[deg.]C and held for 18 5 hours has a coefficient of expansion of 0.92 x 10<4>deg<_1>. These wide variations in the coefficient of expansion are thus produced as a function of the thermal treatment and are similarly applicable to other polymeric materials such as, poly n-alkyl methacryaltes, hydroxylated methacrylates, poly methoxy ethyl methacrylates and polymethyl acrylate over temperatures which range from -180[deg.]Cto the respective glass transition temperatures. The plastics materials were compression moulded in a mould at pressures of about 10 5000 Ib/sq. in. and at a temperature of between 100[deg.]C to 165[deg.]C and the following polymers were specifically * tested for various changes of linear coefficients of expansion belowtheir appropriate (major) glass transition temperatures (Tg). It is also of interest to note that certain of the polymers were also found inter alia to have minor or first (Tgg(1 )), second (Tgg(2)) and third (Tgg(3)) glass transition regions at different temperatures. 15 Polymethyl acrylate (PMA) Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) 20 Polyethyl methacrylate (PEMA) Poly /7-propyl methacrylate (Pn P Ma) Poly [pi]-butyl methacrylate (Pn BMA) 25 Poly [Lambda]-hexyl methacrylate (Pn HMA) Poly n-octyl methacrylate (Pn OMA) 30 Poly-/? decyl methacrylate (Pn DMA) Poly sec-butyl methacrylate (Ps BMA) Poly /so-butyl methacrylate (Pi BMA) 35 Poly tert butyl methacrylate (Pt BMA) Poly 2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) 40 Poly 2-hydroxy propyl methacrylate (PHP MA) and Poly 2-methoxy ethyl methacrylate (PMEMA) 45 The polymers were annealed at about 20[deg.]C below their glass transition temperatures prior to obtaining measurements with reproducible results. The Applicants' have found that in order to duplicate a large number of optical plastics elements of composite plastics materials each with at least one accurately profiled optical surface in which at least one of the composite polymeric material has a high coefficient of contraction ' on compression moulding and a uniform coefficient of thermal expansion after moulding that a main block 50 of the polymerizable material has to be subjected to an annealing treatment after moulding and prior to the application at ambient temperatures of a thin film of another polymerizable resin on a surface remote to the * moulded surface. In this manner internal stresses can be removed from the main polymeric block of material and a uniform coefficient of thermal expansion can be obtained which can be estimated to produce the required profile of main polymeric material and the profile of the film of the another polymeric material on 55 the remote surface. Also the cure time for moulding the main block of polymeric material can be greatly reduced by selecting resins which are easily mouldable and by providing a polymeric material in the form of a thin film on one surface which has a short cure time. The annealing of the main blocks of polymeric material after moulding can be effected in batch quantities and therefore the additional stage in the process does not provide any significant time delay. 60 One object of the present invention is to provide a method of duplicating large numbers of optical elements quickly by automatic means which method mitigates the above mentioned disadvantages. Another object is to provide a method whereby a substantially stress free plastics optical element is produced with a main body part from an optically good refractive plastics material having the one required profile and a minor part with a resin which has a low shrinkage on curing at ambient temperatures and a 65 GB 2 082 107 A highly accurate performance optical profile and surface finish on a surface remote from the required profile. A further object is to provide a light stable, composite plastics element which is substantially free from physical stresses which effect the optical performance, the coefficient of thermal expansion and the life of the optical element over various working temperature ranges. 5 According to the present invention there is provided a method of duplicating a large number of optical 5 elements, each optical element having at least one accurately profiled optical surface of a required shape, comprising placing a block of a polymerizable monomer composition in a hot mould tool which has at least one mould surface complementary to the required shape, moulding the block against the at least one complementary mould surface of the mould tool by the application of heat and pressure and removing the 10 moulded block therefrom, characterised in the an approximate profile and surface finish of the required 10 shape is formed on at least one surface of the block by moulding each of the large number of blocks of an - optically transparent, polymerizable monomer composition at a temperature above the softening or glass transition temperature of the composition with the application of pressure in a first hot mould tool, allowing - the or each moulded block to cool to ambient temperature under the applied pressure before removal from 5 the mould tool, annealing by further cooling and subsequently reheating the or each moulded block in the 15 free state to a temperature which is just below the softening point or glass transition temperature of the polymerized monomer composition so that on re-cooling to the ambient temperature, the moulded block or blocks, in the free state, are physically stress relieved and optically stabilized, sequentially placing each cold, stress relieved, moulded block in a second finishing mould tool comprising an optically polished, 0 transparent glass mould having at least one surface, complementary to the required surface at ambient 20 temperature, locating the moulded block in the second, optically polished finishing glass mould tool without accurately centering the mould so that there is a space between the surface of the moulded block remote to the at least one moulded surface and the complementary surface of the finishing glass mould tool, centering in the mould by filling the space with a low viscosity liquid, photopolymerizable resin, adhesively bonding 5 the resin, at ambienttemperatures, to the surface of the moulded block by passing a polymerizing radiation 25 through the transparent glass finishing mould tool to polymerize and harden the liquid photopolymerizable resin and removing the optical element so formed from the finishing glass mould tool. The expression, "a large number" is understood to mean any number of optical elements which may be produced relatively quickly from one or more master moulds and which, if desired may be produced at the 0 reate of up to several thousand per year per mould. 30 Preferably, the photopolymerizable liquid resin forms a thin liquid layer on the moulded block which is hardened by irradiating the resin with ultra-violet light which passes through at least one part of the transparent finishing, glass mould tool, and wherein said finishing glass mould tool comprises a glass which is substantially transparent to ultra-violet light radiation. 5 The liquid photopolymerizable resin preferably may be bonded and hardened to form a transparent, 35 light-stable layer by irradiation with ultra-violet light of intensity of approximately 7.4. milliwatts per. sq. cm. at an exposure time from a few seconds to less than 5 minutes. Other light radiation sources may be used to effect the curing of the resin such as laser light pulses, infra-red light or visible light radiations. 0 In one preferred method according to the invention the polymerizable monomer composition is moulded 40 against a heated, nickel plated steel surface of the mould tool having the required surface which surface is rapidly cooled to ambienttemperatures by cooling means comprising a cooling and or heating coil through which a heat exchange medium is passed prior to removal of the applied pressure and prior to the removal of the mould block from the mould tool, said moulded block or blocks in the free state, then being further 5 cooled followed by being slowly raised to a temperature just below the softening temperature or the resin of 45 the moulded block or blocks, re-cooled to ambient temperature after which each block is sequentially placed, without centering, in close proximity to the complementary surface of the finishing glass mould tool, the or each moulded block being centrally positioned by surface tension of the liquid photopolymerizable resin * which is admitted into said space via an inlet aperture, and wherein residual air in the spaced is expelled via f an output aperture above the inlet apertures. 50 The physical and optical properties of various moulded plastics materials may differ greatly and it is<">desirable to use only those light transmissive plastics materials for the blocks oc polymerizable monomer which can be readily moulded with heat and applied pressure in a compression moulding tool and which when moulded have a refractive index substantially the same as optical glasses and have good light stability 5 in use. 55 A high coefficient of thermal contraction or expansion is thus no longer a disadvantage in being variable and in causing distortions, when bonded to other polymeric materials, over the range of temperatures that the optical element is subject to in normal use. Suitable plastics materials for the main block of the optical element according to the invention may 0 therefore be polymerizable thermoplastic or thermosetting resins. Suitable resins are known perse and are 60 described in the Applicants' copending U.K. Patent Application No. 42482/77 in which there is described mono, di, tri, or tetra acrylic acid resins, polyesters, polycarbonate resins, epoxy resin monomers, and polyurethane resin monomers or compositions which contain combinations of these resins. The polymerizable thermoplastics or thermosetting resins may be moulded against the complementary 5 surface of the mould at an elevated temperature which is sufficient to cause either the full or partial 65 GB 2 082 107 A polymerization of the resin. No difficulty is experienced in obtaining the release of the moulded resins from the mould because, after heating to effect curing, the moulded monomer resin block is cooled whilst being pressed against the complementary profile of the required surface and, when cold, on releasing the pressure applied to the moulded block the block easily separates from the mould. When a metal mould is used the coefficient of 5 contraction on cooling the mould is greaterthan that of the moulded resin and release from the mould is facilitated. The moulded block then in the free state or in a loose manner, is further cooled followed by being placed in an oven, if desired with other moulded blocks, and brought to a temperature just below the softening point or glass transition point of the polymerized resin. Heating of the mould block or blocks is continued until all 10 the physical and optical stresses normally present in the compression moulded blocks are released. The moulded blocks in the mould were held at a pressure of approximately 5000 Ib/sq. in. until the I moulded profile was effected and then the temperature was lowered from between 100[deg.]C to 165[deg.]C to ambient temperature. On removal from the mould each block was cooled to a temperature of at least -10[deg.]C and preferably to - 40[deg.]C after which the block(s) were gradually heated in the free state to just below the 15 glass transition point of the polymer. A poly n-butyl methacrylate block was cooled after moulding to -40<C>C and a linear coefficient of thermal expansion was obtained after annealing at 20[deg.]C. Similarly, poly n-propyl methacrylate block was annealed at just below 40[deg.]C. polyethyl methacrylate block at just below 60<C>C and polymethyl methacrylate block was annealed at just below 100[deg.]C. Each of the above series of moulded blocks were removed from the oven and sequentially placed in a 20 finishing mould with the surface remote to the moulded surface facing a required surface profile. The profile of the moulded block is normally the same shape as the profile of the remote face after coating with the liquid photopolymerizable resin. No preshaping or machining of the remote surface is required prior to placing the moulded block in the finishing mould. This is true even if the remote surface of the moulded block is substantially flat when a larger space will be formed between the two surfaces in the finishing block 25 and a thicker coating of photo-polymerizable resin is formed. Thus the need for conventional shaping procedures is avoided and time consuming grinding and or centering the moulded block in the finishing glass mould is eliminated. The moulded block when assembled in the finishing glass mould tool and the space between the remote moulded surface and the complementary surface of the glass mould tool is filled with liquid resin which self centres the moulded block by surface tension of fthe liquid resin. The liquid resin 30 before curing is preferably a low viscosity resin for this reason. If high viscosity liquid resins are used the glass mould tool may be placed with the complementary moulding face uppermost so that gravity assists the self centering process. It may be necessary in this case afterthe space is filled with liquid resin to remove the inlet pipe through which the liquid resin is passed to the inlet aperture of the space and then to seal both the inlet and outlet apertures of the space before re-orientating the glass mould. 35 Suitable liquid photopolymerizable resins are substantially solvent free resin liquid compositions comprising a light curable resin which is preferably capable of co-polymerizing with the transparent polymerized polymer of the stress relieved moulded block. Such liquid light curable resins or liquid ultra-violet light curable resins are preferably aryl azido compounds which contain a substantial proportion of side chains having azide (-N3) groups and wherein not more than two -N3groups are attached to any 40 one side chain. Aryl azido compounds are photopolymerizable film forming polymers which on exposure to actinic radiation are hard, transparent, light-stable and have good adhesive properties. Their shrinkage on curing is minimal and after exposure a resulution geometry of the layer or film so formed can be obtained to an accuracy of 1 micron. THe aryl azido compounds are represented by the formula 45 > A - B - N3 in which formula A represents the recurring atoms of a polymer chain and B represents the linkage joining 50 the azide (-N3) group. The linkage group B may be a heterocyclic group joined to a dihydric phenol. The condensation product of cyanuric azido dihalide and an alkali metal salt of bis (p. hydroxyphenol) propane-2 is paricularly suitable. P. azidobenzoic acid condensed with an epoxy resin monomer also gives a suitable light sensitive reaction product. In this case two moles of p. azidobenzoic acid (16.3 grams) were reacted in 150 ml. toluene and 2 ml. 55 benzyl tri methyl ammonium hydroxide with one mole of an epoxy resin monomer {17 grams of resin of molecular weight 340). After refluxing for 7 hours the product was separated and 2 grams of Michler's ketone was added and the composition so formed was polymerized with an optimum exposure time of 1 minute. Novalac epoxy resin monomer and p. azidobenzoic acid give a suitable condensation product with a polymerization exposure time of 15 seconds and a profile resolution geometry accuracy of the layer so 60 formed of 0.6 microns. A higher molecular weight epoxy resin (MW 1400) with p. azidobenzoyl chloride give a condensation product with an optimum exposure time of 40 seconds and with a profile geometry resolution of the polymerized resin layer of 1 micron. An optimum exposure time of 20 seconds was obtained with the reaction product of p. azidobenzoyl 65 GB 2 082 107 A chloride and phthalic anhydride glycerol. P. azidobenzoyl chloride condensed with sucrose gave a photo-sensitive product of exposure time of 1 minute and a resolution geometry ofthe exposed layer of 0.6 microns and p. azidaobenzoyl chloride condensed with phthalic anhydride sorbitol had an exposure time of 45 seconds for polymerization and the 5 polymerized layer resulted in a resolution geometry of the exposed profile layer with a 1 micron accuracy. 5 Physical mixtures ofthe light sensitive polymerizable resins may be used with other photopolymerizable resins or with fillers, sensitizing agents, catalysts and accelerators if desired. Strong light radiations, in general, are not required to initiate the curing and polymerization ofthe resins. An 80 watt mercury vapour lamp, for example, is normally sufficient particularly if located so as to be 0 directed to focus through the lens like glass finishing mould. 10 The optimum degree of exposure time for polymerization may be obtained by incorporating into the resin - a catalytic quantity of a sensitizing agent or a photo initiator for example, an aromatic carbonyl compound<>such as Michler's ketone and analogues thereof, or quinolizine, pyrazoline or benzanthraquinone. Such r sensitizer's or photoinitiators form free radicals on absorbing light rays and the free radicals on absorbing 5 light rays and the free radicals are capable of enhancing the polymerization reactions, preferably in the 15 absence of oxygen, to effect the curing and hardening ofthe liquid resin film. Figure 1 represents an optical element when prepared according to the method ofthe invention. Figure 2 represents a moulded block of a transparent polymerizable polymer in a compression mould tool, Figure 3 illustrates a moulded block of a transparent polymerizable polymer in a finishing glass mould for 0 application of a coating of a photopolymerizable liquid resin to the surface ofthe moulded block remote from 20 the moulded surface ofthe block. The optical element shown by Figure 1 comprises a stress relievedmoulded block {1 ) of a transparent polymerizable polymer with one surface (2) ofthe block (1) having an optical surface finish and shape ofthe required profile and a surface (3) remote from the required surface (2) with a coating (4) of a 5 photopolymerized resin adhesively bonded thereto. The coating (4) has an optical surface finish and a profile 25 (5) which is formed by being moulded in a finishing transparent glass mould through which light radiations are passed to harden and cure the photopolymerizable resin from liquid state to the solid state and to form a profile complementary to the profile of the finishing glass mould. Figure 2 shows the moulded block (1) in a compression mould tool prior to removal ofthe block (1) after 0 the block (1 ) is mouled by the application of heat and pressure and also after cooling. The mould tool has a 30 mould surface (6) and a platen (7) which is complementary to the required surface (2) ofthe block (1 ) and a movable compression platen (8). Heating and cooling coils (9, 10) are shown in the respective platens (7) and (8) for the passage of a heat exchange medium to heat, or to rapidly cool, the moulded block (1 ). In Figure 3 the moulded block (1) is held in a support (11 ) with a gasket sealing member (12) so that the face (3) remote from the moulded surface (2) is in close proximity to an optically polished and profiled face 35 (13) ofthe finishing glass mould (14). An inlet aperture (15) leading to a space (16) between the face (3) and face (13) allows a quantity of liquid photopolymerizable resin from a reservoir (17) to fill the space (16) and an outlet aperture (18) permits residual air to leave the space (16). When the (16) is completely filled with liquid resin the reservoir (17) the inlet pipe (19) is removed and light radiations are passed through the finishing glass mould (14). The liquid resin is hardened by the light radiations and adhesively bonds to the 40 surface (3) ofthe moulded block (1 ). The finishing glass mould (14) may be treated if desired with a surface release agent to give a monomolecular layer of release agent, such as, silicone oil. The glass block (14) is removed and the optical element so formed was found to require no further treatment before use, except for the removal of residual resin from the periphery ofthe element. In carrying outthe method according to the invention the surface ofthe finishing glass mould is ground 45 and optically polished to a surface finish and shape which is complementary to the required surface finish and shape and the surface ofthe mould is then preferably treated or annealed, so as to render it both physically 'and chemically inert to the liquid photopolymerizable resin which adhesively bonds to the<>moulded block. * The finishing glass mould is prepared from a transparent glass material which preferably has a low linear 50<">coefficient of thermal expansion, for example, of 0.65 x 10<-4>or less and preferably less than 0.05 x 10<~4>. - The glass mould should be substantially transparent to the photopolymerizing radiation. A number of impurities may be present on the surface ofthe glass finishing mould after grinding and polishing operation is complete and these impurities may contaminate the liquid resin or change the radiation transmissivity ofthe glass mould. These impurities can adversely effect both the rate of 55 polymerization and the degree of polymerization produced in the liquid photopolymerizable resin particularly for liquid photopolymerizable resins when in the form of a very thin film. The surface ofthe glass mould may, for example, contain a number of undesirable reactive sites and also have an undesirable surface porosity after grinding and polishing which sites can cause the liquid photopolymerizable resin to firmly adhere to the mould. The Applicants' have found that the glass finishing 60 mould can be treated and sealed or annealed on order to obtain an easy and a good release from the mould whe[alpha].the hardened liquid resin is bonded to the moulded plastics block. The glass finishing mould after grinding and polishing by conventional means with an aqueous based grinding and/or polishing agent (such as, an aqueous based mixture containing cerium oxide or aluminium oxide), has a silica surface which is slightly polar and acidic. This surface exhibits, in the untreated state, a 65
GB 2 082 107 A marked preference for the absorption and adherence thereto of basic and polar resinous compounds. An untreated surface of such polished glass moulds may also have small, but not insignificant, amount of water bonded thereto. In one instance, this may be due to capillary action (as capillary-held-water molecules) and in another instance, this may be due to surface hydroxyl groups (as silanol groups, [Xi] (SiOH). Forthe purpose ofthe present invention the capillary-held-water molecules are removed by heat 5 treatment ofthe mould to a temperature of between 150[deg.]C to 200[deg.]C and the hydroxyl bound (silanol) groups are removed preferably by the continued heat treatment of the mould to a temperature of between 200[deg.]C to 400<C>C. A particularly suitable temperature is 200[deg.]C. It can be shown that the surface silanol groups are then substantially converted to siloxane groups in accordance with the equation, 10 2( [identical to] SiOH) -≥ Si-O-Si [identical to] + H20 The treated surface ofthe glass finishing mould when treated in the above manner has no preferential 15 absorption for liquid photopolymerizable resins which contain basic groups, polar groups and/or unsaturated organo groups and such resins exhibit good mould release properties. Good mould release may be further enhanced by sealing the aforesaid surface porosity ofthe glass finishing mould, which may comprise a micro-porosity of up to 5 to 15 micron diameter, by the application of a mould release agent. Surface porosity ofthe mould can also be sealed by reacting residual surface silanol groups with a 20 silanizing agent, such as, dimethyldichlorosilane to form silyl ether surface groups, such as -Si-0-Si(CH3)3groups. In orderto avoid any undesired dimensional changes ofthe surface ofthe finishing mould, mould release agents which comprise the formation of a silyl ether group, should be restricted to form a very thin surface layer, which is for example, positioned substantially within the microporous structure. A monomolecular 25 thickness of silyl ether was found to be satisfactory for sealing such micro porosity. Other more conventional mould release agents may be used in orderto assist mould release, in which case the surface ofthe mould may be treated with an inert release agent, such as, a monomolecular layer of a silicone oil or a inert wax, which can be freshly applied after each mould use. Preparation ofthe finishing glass mould after grinding and polishing may be summarised as being 30 treated: (1 ) to remove surface mineral impurities as the result of grinding and polishing with an acid and/or a base wash, (2) to remove physically bound surface water and/or chemically bound hydroxyl groups by the application of heat, 35 (3) optionally to react residual surface chemcially bound hydroxy (silanol) groups with a silanizing agent to produce surface silyl ether groups and, (4) to treat the surface of the mould before each use with an inert mould release agent. The required surface ofthe glass finishing mould after treatment, should have an optionally polished profile with a profile accuracy of at least 10 microns, and if desired, an acuracy of 0.5 microns which profile is 40 hard,_durable and is accompanied with good resin release properties. A similar profile accuracy may be obtained for the mould for producing the moulded plastics blocks but for reasons given above regarding thermal expansion during the moulding process such accuracy is not normally necessary. The moulded plastics blocks may be moulded from a steel mould having the at least one surface ofthe required complementary shape and the steel mould for convenience of producing the 45 required profile may be electroplated with a layer of nickel. The layer of nickel when electrodeposited is sufficiently thick so that it can be suitably finely machined, for example, with a single point diamond machine cutting tool and the finely machined surface so produced can be protected with a thin layer of an inert scratch resistant material, such as, vapour deposited layer of vitreous carbon by thermal degradation of an<s>organic polymer. 50 CLAIMS

Citadel Capital in many ways is an exemplar of the Middle East and North Africa's burgeoning private equity industry: young, rapidly expanding, ambitious, and armed with increasing amounts of capital.
But the four-year old Cairo-headquartered firm appears to be headed towards territory so far approached only by international private equity firms with decades-old track records: i.e., publicly floating its management company.
Co-founder Hisham El Khazindar told PEI that Citadel is considering a listing, but citing legal restrictions, declined to comment on how much it was seeking to raise, when it would list or on which exchange.
The firm has grown exponentially since being founded by El Khazindar and Ahmed Heikal, both former senior executives at regional investment bank EFG-Hermes. Today, the firm boasts six partners plus 15 investment professionals. It has added an office in Algeria and plans to do the same over the next three years in other core countries in which it invests, including Libya and Syria. And its assets under management have swelled to $8 billion (€5 billion).
But, says El Khazindar, "the business model hasn't changed".
Unlike traditional private equity firms, Citadel raises funds on a deal-by-deal or "theme-by-theme" basis from its limited partners, most of which hail from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
He acknowledges that this puts more pressure on the firm than a typical private equity fund structure, in which an average or poor investments could be counterbalanced by extremely successful deals and still result in an excellent track record.
"You can't get away with having a dud amongst other deals," he says. "You really have to get all of your deals right." But he views that as a positive thing, saying it forces the firm to have greater self-discipline and carefully select deals.
"That incentive is also strengthened by the fact that we don't think of ourselves as a pure asset manager," he adds. "In each one of these deal vehicles that we set up as a GP, we typically take in a minimum of 10 percent participation ourselves – sometimes as much as a 50 percent participation."
Citadel's investment in its deal vehicles is typically between $30 million and $50 million, with most vehicles ranging in equity size from $100 million to $300 million.
"One of the challenges, but at the same time benefits, of raising funds on a deal by deal basis, is it really forces us to stay very close to our LPs and co-investors," El Khazindar says. He notes they don't just interact at annual meetings or "once every blue moon when we're raising a fund".
So far, those investors have been happy: The firm's buy-and-build strategy targeting emerging MENA markets has thus far resulted in three exits, returning nearly $2 billion in cash to investors. El Khazindar estimates the exits translate to an average of four times return on investment and internal rates of return in excess of 100 percent. "We're quite proud of that," he says.
One of those exits remains the largest-ever deal in MENA private equity: Citadel sold 100 percent of Egyptian Fertilizers Company last summer to an Abraaj Capital-led group for $1.4 billion, including a record $1.25 billion of leverage. (Though US buyout firm Colony Capital later topped the deal size with its €4 billion agreement to buy oil company Tamoil from the Libyan Government, the deal has since fallen apart.)
El Khazindar says the future for his firm lies in continuing its strategy of building regional market leaders, targeting industries including oil and gas, food service, logistics and agriculture.
Emerging markets private equity firm Aureos Capital has taken a 30.4 percent stake in South African IT company Sandbox. The firm is investing R32 million ($4 million; €2.6 million) in Sandbox and has been joined in the deal by undisclosed black economic empowerment partners, who have taken a 20.4 percent stake in Sandbox as co-shareholders. Sandbox has an annual turnover of R100million and helps integrate software for clients mainly in the financial sector.
COLONY'S TAMOIL DEAL PULLED
Mohamed Layas, chairman of Libya's state investment arm, has reportedly said "there is no deal" to sell a majority stake in oil refiner and distributor Tamoil to Los Angeles private equity firm Colony Capital. The deal talks had been regarded as a sign of the ongoing liberalisation of the Libyan economy. However, an agreement by Colony Capital to purchase a majority stake in Tamoil, an oil refiner and distributor owned by the Libyan Government, is no longer proceeding according to news agency Reuters. It emerged last June that Colony had agreed to acquire a 65 percent stake in the company, which owns and operates more than 3,000 service stations across Europe. Colony said the agreement marked the second major foray by private equity into the European oil refining business in recent years. The deal valued Tamoil at €4 billion ($5.4 billion). Colony declined to comment.
The private equity unit of Egyptian bank EFG-Hermes has more than tripled its previous private equity fundraising effort, closing a $555 million (€365 million) third fund to invest in Egypt and North Africa. The firm's previous fund raised $155 million and its first fund closed on $54 million in 2000. Egyptian and regional financial institutions as well as high-net worth individuals invested in the latest fund. Samer Yassa, a partner at EFG-Hermes Private Equity, said in a statement the previous fund had returned more than 80 percent of its principal investment to investors in two years at a realised internal rate of return of more than 70 percent.

Panorama Exposure Technique
Q. I am beginning to make some panoramas using multiple images and stitching them together. I use Photoshop Elements Version 8 to do the stitching. I have two questions. First, where is the best pivot point that will provide the best outcome? Would it be at the sensor plane, the middle distance between the sensor plane and front of the lens, the front of the lens, or somewhere else? Second, what software program would you recommend to create the panoramas?
Gerry Sieracki
A. Here are some photo tips for panoramas: the camera should be set on a tripod with the tripod head set level with the ground. Ideally, the pivot point should be under the recording sensor, but small variations on that are easily accommodated in the matching done in the software. So, if the pivot point is the camera base tripod connection screw it will work as accurately as you will need.
Adobe's Photoshop Elements has panorama support, as do all versions of Photoshop. You might obtain more features in a more current version. In addition, I have noticed there are many plug-in applications featuring panorama support, but I have not used any so I cannot make a recommendation.
Pigment & Dye Printers For Print Sales
Q. Do you recommend the Canon PIXMA PRO-100 inkjet printer? My Epson 1400 is giving me problems so maybe it is time to update.
A. From your previous e-mails I know that you are thinking of going "professional" with print sales. You would want to select a printer that uses pigment-based inks. The PIXMA PRO-100 is a dye-based printer and I would not consider it if I wanted to sell prints. I like the specs of the Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer, but it is expensive. Personally, I have had very good performance and a lot of reliable use with an Epson R1900 pigment-ink printer, and recently tested its replacement the R2000, and reported on it in Shutterbug.
Pro Graphics Display Choices
Q.I've spent the past couple of days going back through my "Shutterbug" and "Photoshop User" articles on monitors, calibration, etc., and have also spent some more time trying to find reviews of 10-bit monitors on the Internet. As you are undoubtedly aware, finding unbiased reviews by folks who have actually used and compared such monitors is like searching for the Holy Grail. I noticed that the LaCie 324i appears to still be available at a couple of vendors. I've also seen that an Eizo CX-series monitor or an Eizo FlexScan Pro seems to be along the lines of what I'm seeking. I've also noted the high regard in which you hold the Dell U2410 and presumably its new U2413 version for significantly less money.
Without factoring in cost, would you still recommend the LaCie, if it is available? I've noted the occasional bad sample reports from Dell U2410 buyers and references to some lack of adjustment controls. I don't know if that latter complaint has any basis. Have you found the Dell U2413 to be as flexible to calibrate as the LaCie or Eizo?
My other question has to do with calibration equipment. I read your review of the X-Rite i1Display Pro and your further comments on it and the Spyder4. Ditto with the review of the Spyder4. For a capable calibration device in this price range, do you still recommend the X-Rite i1Display Pro over the Spyder4Elite?
A. First of all, even if there are some LaCie 324i displays in warehouses, although they are good performers, I would not buy one largely because no one knows for sure if anyone has parts and repair capability for the display. If mine goes down, I would just dump it and buy an Eizo.
On Eizo models, the only ones to look at seriously are the FlexScan S*, but preferably the SX models because they are IPS screens, which come in 22" and 24" models both at 1920x1200 pixels, as well as larger sizes. (*Note: Recent news is that the Eizo FlexScan S models are being discontinued, leaving the SX models as the alternate choice.) The rest are not pro graphics models, except the very costly ColorEdge models, with large Adobe RGB color range. Eizo also makes some models that are sRGB for home/office users.
A few Dell UltraSharp U2410 models have been shipped that have off-balance color and have to be returned. So, I don't recommend buying them except directly from Dell through their website. The controls on the Dell U2410 and new U2413 monitors are well and efficiently designed.
The X-Rite i1Display Pro has the easiest and most efficient application control design, and provides automatic white luminance adjustment directly from software with some LCD displays (not all).

That fandub wasn't bad at all! The sound job was actually pretty impressive. Do people usually build the sound from the ground up with fandubs?

You have to. You have no access to the music and effects track. The best you can do is put the music back in via the OST.

This is a really solid, polished effort. I was pleasantly surprised. The actress playing Asuka, in particular, really shines here. And the sound mixing is excellent.
A few small critiques, though:
- The female actors do a markedly better job than the male actor; his voice feels a little flat for the role and the situation.
- At times it can be hard to distinguish between Asuka's voice and Mari's. The actresses sound very similar. I would have opted for a different take on Mari. Maybe I would have chosen a British accent of some sort, given that she's supposed to be British. (Come to think of it, I'm surprised the official English dubs haven't gone in that direction).

That was a pretty good dub.
Biggest differences between the original and fandub is the original has a better plethora of ambient sounds.
Also you just can't pass up using "God's Message" track from the OST.

Yeah, this wasn't bad at all. Only problem was Kaworu at the end but really nice job. Also Asuka saying "Where's Shinji when you need him?!" was pretty poignant for me. Without any translation in the Japanese version, I thought she was insulting him becuse he was inside that cross thing. But that line of dialogue is telling me she has no beef with him, when she very easily could. But I guess I'd have to know it better in context with the movie.

Isn't "Baka-Shinji" more a disguised term of endearment than an insult at this point?

A little excerpt from The Thinara King
Snow fell in a blinding squall, carried first one direction then another by mercurial winds. Bitter cold stung Aridela's face and almost immediately penetrated her jerkin.
Slinging a bow and quiver of arrows over one shoulder, she scraped snow from the trunk of a cypress, clearing a bare strip all the way around. Barbs of gale-driven ice lashed her eyes and cheeks as she found what she was looking for, evidence of frozen lichen on what should be the north side. She staggered into the blizzard, hoping she'd successfully determined east, and Knossos.
I do your bidding, Athene. I follow your will. Please, please—
The plea died before it formed. Menoetius would never forgive what she had said. There was no use asking.
Snow fell like a cold white ocean from a darkly overcast sky. All sound was muffled. There was no way to be certain she'd chosen the right direction. If only the sun would come out, even for a moment.
Menoetius's warning returned. What if this reckless escape sent her straight to enemy search parties?
Surely they wouldn't be looking for her in such a storm.
Don't you trust me? She fancied a thrum of laughter under Chrysaleon's words. Don't you know I will protect you?
She closed her eyes. Show me the way, my love.
But there was only the swish of snow eddying in the wind. Only Menoetius's face when she called him ugly.
Then she heard it. The crunch of deliberate steps. She opened her eyes and stared into the face of a large wild goat, its long, arched horns almost invisible under a coating of snow. It stood the length of a half-grown fir tree from her, staring back, perhaps trying to understand the sight of a motionless human transforming into a snow-drenched pillar.
Its meat would provide food for a month. But something stopped her even as her half-frozen fingers felt for the bow. Athene. Lady of the wild things.
Losing interest, the ibex turned and lumbered away. Aridela followed, trying to keep a discreet distance.
It came to a steep hill, dotted with mounds of stunted juniper bushes and a few twisted pine trees. The beast climbed effortlessly, crossing beneath a curious rock formation that rose high and curved into an arch, like a doorway. Aridela craned her neck to see the rough crown, half hidden in storm fog. Forced to use her hands as well as her feet, she scrambled then slipped backward, unable to secure footing in the slick snow. Within seconds the animal had disappeared. "Wait," she cried. "I can't walk as fast as you," but wind and a wall of snow stuffed her words back into her throat.
Eventually, she reached the summit. Snow was falling so copiously by now that she couldn't see past the length of her arm. She stumbled along the ridge, calling, "I'm here. Where are you? Come back."
Iphiboë materialized before her, arms extended. "Aridela!"
Shock drew Aridela up short. She tried to blink the snow from her lashes, fighting hope and disbelief. "Iphiboë?"
Before she could begin to accept this miracle, the image disintegrated into the dark, solid form of Menoetius. Snow caked his hair and beard. He squinted. His mouth lay tense and severe.
"What are you doing?" Without waiting for an answer, he picked her up like a twig and flung her over one shoulder. "Two more steps and you would have been over the edge. How much would that help your people, you lying dead at the bottom of this gorge?"
Thanks to all who entered my Goodreads giveaway, lovely people who are willing to take a chance on my books.

Twitter reactions: Clinical Australia trounce India in 2nd ODI to bag the series
Australia thrashed India by 51 runs in second ODI to seal the series 2-0.
Steve Smith scored the 11th ton of his ODI career.
Australia beat India in second ODI (Image Source: Twitter)
Australia produced yet another tremendous performance to beat India by 51 runs in the second ODI at the SCG. Alongwith the victory, the home team have sealed the three-match series 2–0, with one match remaining.
Chasing a massive target of 390, Shikhar Dhawan (30) and Mayank Agarwal (28) added a 50-run stand for the opening wicket. However, soon Australian bowlers removed both the players to reduce India to 60/2.
Then, captain Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer took the team out of hot water by adding 93 runs for the third wicket. Both were looking set to take India over the finish line, but some outstanding outfield effort by Aussie fielders did not let that happen.
First, Steve Smith took an absolute blinder to dismiss Iyer in the 24th over of India innings for 38 runs. Soon, Moises Henriques pulled off a screamer to send back the Indian captain who was batting on 89.
Meanwhile, KL Rahul kept on scoring runs to release the pressure from the other end. However, the Bengaluru-lad failed to carry on his innings for long as Adam Zampa sent him back to the pavilion in the 44th over.
In the end, India only managed to reach 338/9, losing the game by a big-margin.
Smith's back-to-back ton pushed Australia to 389/4
Earlier, Smith produced yet another brilliant performance at one of his favourite grounds. The genius Aussie batsman scored his second hundred in the ongoing ODI series to guide his side to 389/4 – Australia's highest ODI score against India.
In the first game, Smith had smashed 105 off 66 balls while in the second contest, the New South Wales batsman exhibited his incredible batting display to hit 11th ton of his ODI career. Smith scored 104 from 64 deliveries with the help of 16 boundaries including two sixes.
Apart from the former Aussie skipper, opener David Warner (83), captain Aaron Finch (60), middle-order batsman Marnus Labuschagne (70) and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell (63) scored valuable runs.
Navdeep Saini had a dreadful outing as he was the most expensive bowler for the visiting team. The right-armer bowled 7 overs and conceded 70 runs at a poor economy of 10.00.
Well-deserved series win for Australia!
Out batted, out bowled and out fielded India who have looked clueless, not for the first time against a top side.
Plenty to work on for India.

Forecasting the Next Generation Workforce
Do you ever wonder how the new college graduates will impact the workforce?
As an adjunct professor and a part-time IT recruiter, LiquidPlanner contributor Andy Makar regularly interacts with the budding workforce of our future. The Millennial generation (aka the Facebook generation) represents a technically connected group of people who collaborate, are entrepreneurial-minded, and work at a much faster pace than previous generations.
In this LiquidPlanner Q&A, Andy gives us his instructor's perspective about the impact today's students will have on tomorrow's corporate culture.
Q: What is a key difference you notice in how your students prepare for work after college?
A: More students are already in the working world while pursuing their undergraduate and graduate degrees. According to a study by Pew Research, one out of every four Millennial students is working while enrolled full-time in school. Based on my recruiting experience, many of these students are working in their field of study while pursuing their academic degree.
Technology has also helped students become solopreneurs and innovators while pursuing their education. The startup costs to form a technology-based business are low, and there are a lot of opportunities in consulting, mobile application development and traditional website development. One student I interviewed showed me his "Rate My Beer" mobile app – something he developed while in school. He was already generating an income from local microbreweries advertising with this – all this before getting a full-time job.
Today, more graduating students not only have real world experience but they're turning ideas into working software solutions and profiting from them. Just look at 17-year-old Nick D'Aloisio who sold his Summly news application to Yahoo for $30 million. Startups emerge as students put academic theory directly into practice at school and into their own endeavors.
Q: What will this generation do for business and industry in the future?
A. This generation of workers will change the way we collaborate and communicate on projects. In my classes, students are connected with their laptops, iPads and smart phones and often operate multiple devices while "participating" in the class lecture or classroom exercise. Instead of the phone, many students (and instructors) prefer to use email to communicate and many resort to texting their professors. In addition to working with their peers on a project, this generation will leverage their social networks to solve problems.
For example, I've seen situations where students collaborate with friends in other countries to help them with their assignments. In the academic world, students learn that presenting someone else's work as their own will earn them a failing grade. However, this collaboration practice is legitimate, and shows how a social network has become the new problem-solving tool.
Q: Does this Millennial generation work at a different pace than its predecessors?
Yes, they expect faster iterations of project lifecycles. Which will result in faster product lifecycles and a stronger focus on collaborating to solve problems using the social tools at their fingertips.
Q: How should businesses adapt to this new generation?
Businesses have to let teams use social network technology in order to collaborate better. I know some businesses actively block YouTube, Facebook and Twitter from their corporate firewalls. This is a mistake. The workforce is shifting to use these tools to engage with the community at large – and this contributes to solving business problems
Q: How are businesses already adapting for a more collaborative work culture?
I see the collaboration trend with several co-working spaces opening in the Detroit area. Startup companies can rent a desk space or a conference room and work amongst other startup businesses. This environment shares overhead costs and encourages collaboration across small teams. In these environments, the typical currency is goodwill and bartering skills, rather than money.
The focus on collaboration is also making its impact on the larger traditional businesses. As office buildings are renovated, businesses are incorporating coffee house features by providing larger lounge environments equipped with plenty of power plugs, comfortable seating and plenty of room to break out and solve problems together. These environments become much more productive than the mundane world of the three-wall desk. If given the choice, I'd rather work in a coffee house environment where I have a comfortable working area rather than searching for my business partner in a sea of cubicles.
Q: The Baby Boomers saw the demise of the 30-year company man/woman. What will the Millennials' career trajectory look like?
I expect the new workforce will challenge the traditional management structure to provide more challenging and rewarding career paths. The new generation of workers is willing to change jobs easier and recognize the fact that the company they work for today will not be the company they work for in a few years. The churn in talent will force stoic organizations to examine how they develop employees. If the organization doesn't change, the Millennial employee will be more than happy to look for a new job.
I spoke with one of my younger colleagues who, after three years of working for a stable Fortune 100 company, decided to simply quit. After giving his two-week's notice, he realized he had two weeks before he ran out of money. So he formed his own software company. One year later, with a business partner and a lot of hustle, he is developing software solutions for Fortune 500 companies and working in Italy for three months with MacBook in hand.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best. Cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried Veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. We have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits is very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals.
Evening 9 - 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de- toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in a un relaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on her health. Night at 11pm - 1am: The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3am: de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 3 - 5am: de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am: de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel. Morning 7 - 9am: Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all. Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals.
Midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

Hi Peter, I've been off line for a while and just saw your post. Glad to hear that I am not the only Canadian. I'm only "all-in", not reserved yet. I am fantasizing about fighting my way through the red tape, buying one in the US and driving it home. I'm not at a point yet where I have the time to start even researching for and planning my battles. I have bought two "antique" cars from the US in the past ( a '65 Triumph Herald Convertible, and more recently an '88 Volvo 240 Wagon for my son ) and the red tape was not a big deal. This might be a whole other story though. I will let you know if I learn anything and hope you will do the same. I sure hope the Canadian dollar comes back out of the ditch before it is time to buy!
I lived in London, Ontario for 10 years and the only area that I really liked to visit and drive around was the escarpment, particularly your end of it. I wonder what the Elio's hill climbing capacity will be? On the plus side it will be light and aerodynamic, on the negative, I don't expect the engine to be very torquey.

It is a significant quality of many organic molecules. By comparison, many organisms, especially particular kinds of bacteria, don't use oxygen. Thus it has the ability to exert a controlling influence over the complete cell and in the long run, the whole organism.
Apart from its ecological significance, it has an important role in the process of evolution. It evolves because the population contains the collection of genes called the gene pool. The group you want to generalize to is often known as the population in your study.
In plants, polyploidy is rather common. For instance, there is a substantial difference in access to water in addition to humidity between temperate rainforests and deserts. Temperature and the access to water and sunlight are some rather important things.

0 | example_61835 | Teaching medical students to recognize demoralization
http://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0213-61632013000100005
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington, DC. USA
Background and Objectives: Concepts such as demoralization fit well into Problem or Case-based learning methods that encourage students to organize knowledge based on clinical problems, rather than according to the disciplines of basic science.
Methods: At two US schools, psychiatry clerkship students learn about demoralization and psychotherapy through structured, case based exercises that teach them to elicit and respond to patients´ life stories in ways that emphasize hope and empowerment.
Results: Students´ reactions to these exercises, though mixed, suggest that they may enhance students´ understanding of the universal elements of distress (demoralization) that cut across many disabling conditions and of the role that caregivers may play in compounding or relieving this distress.
Conclusions: Learning to recognize and respond to demoralization is an advanced communication skill that can be introduced during a psychiatry clerkship.
Key words: Demoralization; Problem based learning; Medical student education; DSM.
Medicine since the time of Virchow requires practitioners to relate observed symptoms and signs to the underlying condition of organs, tissues, cells, and now genes. Medical students, especially in Eurowestern countries, study psychiatric disorders by drawing analogies to other diseases. A concept like demoralization, uniting a wide range of phenomena without anchoring them in measurable physiological processes, fits into contemporary medicine about as well as humors fit into medicine in the golden age of pathology.
Teaching students and clinicians to recognize, think about and respond to demoralization requires weaning them from the apparently clear and concrete criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV-TR (DSM IV-TR)1 that currently dominates psychiatric education. Students must also overcome their squeamishness about pathologizing normal distress. Tact and empathy, two praiseworthy qualities in doctor patient interaction may, at times, blind carers to important phenomena. Students rightly hesitate to apply a possibly stigmatizing label to people who have already suffered the calamity of having a serious medical/psychiatric condition.
Educating medical students about demoralization in the medically ill, furthermore, threatens their growing professionalism. Understanding the concept means acknowledging that the medical system, and more particularly, the behavior of admired actors within that system, may contribute to patients' distress. Students' intense focus on acquiring medical knowledge and completing clinical tasks diverts their attention from how they and those they wish to imitate may contribute to patients' suffering.
Fortunately, the paradigm of medical education is shifting away from teaching students facts and theories, then exposing them to patients as examples that prove the validity of the basic science they have been taught. New ways of annealing science with clinical reality include the methods of learning that begin with a patient (Case Based Learning or CBL)2 or a problem (Problem Based Learning or PBL)3. In a CBL exercise, in addition to clues about the patient's disease, students receive background personal and social information that they must relate to the progress and outcome of the case. At various points during the discussion, students still consult textbooks to understand the physiology and pathology associated with particular symptoms, but they must also relate individual cases to broad domains such as epidemiology, the range of clinical management options, various possible outcomes, and different presentations of illness in different cultures or stages of personal development.
Students in clinical settings are inevitably immersed in CBL. Real life experience confronts them with patients' social needs and emotional states. Demoralization, which by definition is both a quality of the person and a response to particular situations, fits well into the framework of CBL.
Introducing demoralization and psychotherapy during the psychiatry clerkship
At the George Washington University School of Medicine, clerkship students work mostly with inpatients. We combine didactic instruction, self-guided learning and an assigned cli-nical exercise to introduce the concept of demoralization in the context of providing inpatient psychiatric care. This learning is reinforced by senior psychiatrists and residents, who routinely focus on the state of patients' morale in their clinical work. This paper describes the exercise we use with third year clerks.
At the beginning of the clerkship, students learn to take a focused developmental history from their patients. The interview protocol involves questions about patients' birth, early family life, family cultural background, medical experiences, substance use, school and work history and important relationships over time. The problems uncovered in the developmental history go beyond the symptoms and signs required for diagnosis. Students quickly recognize the need for treatment, not just for symptom resolution, but also to help patients make sense of their life experience in ways that open up avenues of hope for themselves going forward. Psychotherapy becomes the obvious answer to the question of "what does this patient really need?".
After the introductory session, students are directed to a one page description of psychotherapy as a particular relationship whose ultimate purpose is to instill hope and encourage self- efficacy in patients, in order to relieve demoralization4. Psychotherapy is presented, not as an arcane practice that occurs in formal settings students will never see, but as a mode of communication that may be woven into routine, day to day interactions. Any interaction that encourages hope and self-efficacy or mastery is presented as a legitimate analog to psychotherapy ("therapeutic communication"). Students are also encouraged to recognize that discouraging or disempowering ("counter-therapeutic") communication may become a source of apparent psychopathology, by engendering demoralization.
Following the introduction, students work through a self- guided exercise available to them on the course website. The exercise involves analyzing four case scenarios, a practice they are familiar with from many other elements of the general curriculum. Two of the scenarios illustrate medical encounters and two portray interactions with psychiatric patients that resemble the ones they are seeing on the wards.
General medical example
A healthy 30 year old woman visits a neurologist for recurrent headaches that sound like classic migraines with multiple triggers: menstrual cycle, diet, stress and sleep. She has been given propranolol for prevention, which has helped, but the headaches still recur and can be disabling. "Just to be sure" the neurologist orders an MRI.
Patient: "Did you get a report from the MRI? Being in that machine was pretty scary".
Neurologist: "I am glad to tell you the MRI showed no signs of tumors or vascular malformations. You should live a long life. Just keep on taking the propranolol. You don't need to follow up with me. Sorry this took so long and was so unpleasant. You probably didn't really need a neurologist in the first place!".
Psychiatric Example:
A 25 year old patient with depression is admitted following a suicide attempt. He grew up in a family in which his alcoholic stepfather beat him and his mother was depressed. He dropped out of high school but later got his GED. His girlfriend broke up with him because he didn't want to assume responsibility for her two young children. In his view, without more education, he can barely take care of himself. She didn't understand that he was planning to try to find a better job. He feels rejected and hurt, and believes her rejection proves that women can't be trusted. Since the one thing that he hopes for is to have a close relationship, this belief seems to justify his suicidal act.
Patient: "I can't get any rest, I keep thinking about Carla. I miss her and I just can't understand how she could dump me like that. I'm losing weight, I can't concentrate at work, nothing makes me feel better."
Doctor: "I think your symptoms are bad enough that you should take medication for them. An SSRI works really well for helping people sleep and be less agitated. The side effects aren't bad, either. We should start that tomorrow. And I'll also give you something for sleep, just until you start to respond to it".
At the end of each vignette, students are prompted to list
Counter-therapeutic elements:
After reading and responding to four vignettes, students scroll down to compare their answers with the ones provided by the course director. The answers to the two vignettes are:
Therapeutic elements (headache with normal MRI):
• Relief of anxiety about ominous possibilities.
• Doctor expresses empathy for the unpleasantness of the test procedure.
Counter therapeutic elements (and how they could be modified):
• Neurologist makes patient feel like she shouldn't have come (non-acceptance). The doctor could have said "It was a good idea to get this checked out" before giving the results.
• Patient leaves without any idea of what or who can help with the headaches she still has (no empowerment). The neurologist could have suggested that she ask her primary care doctor about other types of prevention, that she look for self-help materials for migraine sufferers, etc.
Therapeutic elements (depression).
• Doctor offers realistic help, with empathic concern for side effects and target symptoms.
• Counter- therapeutic elements
• Doctor's empathy is limited. Not acknowledging the reality of the patient's loss and hurt may silently confirm to him that the situation is hopeless. (Alternative: "I know you feel really hurt and hopeless, and that you are also tormented by not sleeping and not being ever able to feel any relief. I think if I give you medication that helps you function better, your situation won't look so bad to you as it does now").
• Sometimes it is important to challenge a patient's experience as well as empathize with it. ("I know how much she meant to you, though I can also see how a mother of young children might need someone to help her care for them and put their needs first, even if she cared about you. That doesn't mean all women are untrustworthy, or that no one will ever care about you").
By offering concrete, plausible alternatives to counter-therapeutic communication, the analyses of the vignettes are meant to empower rather than discourage students. Students tend to see psychotherapy as exotic and inordinately time consuming. The implication of these examples is that therapeutic interactions may be very brief and need not require extensive training.
Whether or not students do the self-guided, preparatory exercise, all are required to ask a resident or attending physician to help them select an inpatient with whom to apply the principles of therapeutic communication. They are instructed to choose a time and place to elicit a full developmental and social history from the patient. While similar to the generic history taught as part of initial assessment, other specific questions5 are suggested, to uncover sources of demoralization and resilience. These include
• What was the best year of your life, and why?
• What was the most challenging year of your life, and why?
• What are some of the things you have done in your life that you are most proud of?
• What is the biggest problem facing you now? How does this relate to your symptoms, your past experiences, your hopes for yourself?
• What are some of the ways you have mastered important problems in the past?
• Is there anyone who thinks you can get better, deal with your problems? How does he or she see the situation?
• If you could deal with this problem more effectively, how might your life be different?
• Do think there is a reason that you have this problem?
The student writes up the patient's life story and reviews it with a supervising psychiatrist or resident. (The preparatory materials include a template for the write up and several samples). The next, and crucial step is for the student to go over the written account of the patient's story with the patient face to face. This step is both the most anxiety provoking for the student, and the one that drives home the importance of identifying and reinforcing sources of hope and empowerment in the complex and often tragic life stories that psychiatric inpatients have to tell.
Evaluation of the therapeutic communication exercise
David Garrison at the University of Rochester has published a qualitative analysis of the students' evaluation of the exercise as implemented in that setting6. The evaluation of the exercise in our setting is based solely on students' answers to a required form presented at the end of the rotation. This is not a well standardized instrument, and only impressionistic, qualitative results are available.
All students do the exercise, for which they are accountable on their logs of required experiences. Roughly two thirds of them report that doing the patient interview and providing feedback to the patients was worthwhile. In five years, less than a handful have reported that they thought it was harmful to a patient, or to their ability to relate to patients.
Representative negative comments: "My attempt at the therapeutic exercise was not very successful. Unfortunately, I picked a very difficult patient who was quite talkative and any attempts to refocus the conversation were futile".
"Patients I have encountered are very sensitive about their mental sickness. One schizophrenic patient became very upset when she read my description of her as having "disorganized thoughts".
Representative positive comments: "It was interesting to watch the patient respond to what I was saying. They really wanted answers to the reasons they were feeling certain ways and felt relieved when there was an explanation given".
"It was probably more useful to me than to the patient - to understand my ability to "hear" the patient as he or she wants to be heard and to respond accordingly".
"It was useful to me and my patient. It helped make a more therapeutic alliance".
The post-Flexner consensus about what is important or essential in medicine is eroding in the face of rapid advances in knowledge and technology that blur the boundaries of what should be taught at what level. Medical education in the future must emphasize concepts rather than facts.
Recognizing demoralization and learning ways to improve patients' adaptation to their conditions and to the conditions of medical care should be one of the foundational concepts in medical education. As a dynamic dimension of illness that expresses itself in many ways, demoralization cannot simply be described in a lecture and later recognized and addressed when it appears. A case based approach that includes preparation, implementation and reflection is far better suited to the task. The exercise described above can be adapted to many settings and cultural contexts. It may help future providers of medical care to move from learning to treat diseases that accidently crop up in patients to the more elusive goal of becoming professionals able to help whole people who have fallen ill.

0 | example_14200 | In addition to revamping my blog (I just can’t stop), which I do instead of studying like a proper student obviously, I’ve also been watching an unhealthy amount of movies. I won’t be able to write about all of them but as you can see, I’m definitely not passing up the opportunity to write about the controversial Adore. Mothers, their sons and each others lovers – it screams f*cked up and it is, but one just can’t stop watching and not just because of its gorgeous cinematography.
I discovered the other day that reverse Lolita movies are immensely popular lately, there’s The Lifeguard, A Teacher, The English Teacher and Adore. Older women with younger men in their early twenties (or even younger?) seems to be the latest indie-trend and I can’t say that it’s as disturbing as Lolita. There’s just something extremely creepy about an old man and a teenaged girl. Besides, Adore seemed to be the most out there among these reverse-Lolitas, and after watching it I’m pretty certain that older women with young boys creates less cringe but the judgement is still there.
So who do I judge, the horny sons Ian (Xavier Samuel) and Tom (James Frencheville), or the mothers, Roz (Robin Wright) and Lil (Naomi Watts)? Now, there are a lot of spoiler-ish factors that make me like Lil’s and Tom’s relationship a bit more but then again, the surprising Xavier Samuel was far more believable than Frencheville and I kept rooting for Ian and Roz to make to through. I’m not saying I approve these types of relationships but I was captivated by Samuel and his deep brown puppy eyes (which as a non-Twilight fan were new to me) enough to understand them past their age difference. I guess if you strip away the friendship factor between Roz and Lil, their relationships with these young men are somewhat justified but you add the family aspect and it just gets weird.
Eventually there were a lot of twists and turns with the plot, I can’t say that it made sense but it’s based on a book so I’m going to shift that criticism towards the novel. I guess it took things too far and since as an audience we didn’t see any aging happening in the movie adaption, it wasn’t as realistic as it could’ve been. Basically, I’m saying that Roz, Lil, Ian and Tom looked exactly the same though many years had passed. That being said, I want to point out that one of the most powerful scenes happened in the end of Adore between Roz and Ian – Samuel’s line delivery in that was just beautiful to me. Powerful, full of emotion and totally believable.
Robin Wright and Naomi Watts were good but I wouldn’t say that they were at their best. A lot of it comes down to the material so there’s just no way I could fault them on something that was off in the plot. Ben Madelsohn had a supporting role as Tom’s father that made complete sense and he was definitely a strong character in Adore. James Frencheville on the other hand was the odd one out for me, he just has that face that takes a while to get used to and eventually when you do, the movie is over. I don’t want to say he is ugly but with some actors that have so distinctive features, the role has to be bang on and I just never saw Frencheville as Tom.
Luckily the movie looks absolutely stunning and I think with a movie where the emphasis is on something that can be described as ugly, surrounding beauty balances it. Roz and Lil have raised their sons up in a paradise, there’s a lot nature porn happening and one of my favorite aspects of the movie, besides Xavier’s sad puppy eyes, was the ocean. It was clearly indicated that these two women saw the ocean as a sign of freedom and a hideout from everything else, it was their safe place. Later in the future it became apart of their secret, they could be themselves out there while everywhere else they had to pretend. And though the relationships between the two women and their sons were always complicated and sometimes a bit too far fetched, all four had a pure connection to the ocean and I can relate to that. I love everything to do with water, especially the ocean, and it was delightful to see that element used in so many beautiful ways and intertwined with the storyline.
In the end though, the cinematopgrahy wasn’t the only thing that kept me watching Adore. Samuel was definitely a reason why I didn’t take my eyes off the screen as well but it wasn’t just that. There is something smart about Adore, the way it is presented and acted, the oh so wrong relationships that just suck you in. I admit, there are so many little things that I can personally fault in Adore and yet, it did captivate me and even though at times I was in disbelief, I was still made to believe. So maybe I had been away from movies for too long, but I kinda liked it and I might be the only one but I’m not sorry.

Eventually did, glad I did as well. As I said, it had a lot of mistakes which I never mentioned. And the story did have a lot of mistakes.. but I’m going to say that it comes down to the novel.

Ah i watched this and A Teacher too. I’m with you on the cinematography, while the story throw me between wanting to empathize and grossed out by the whole idea. It was not actually gross MILF stuff but i just can’t digest the idea of their relationship which is only like one step away from incestuous IMHO

Exactly, it’s between okay and not okay so many times that it confuses the audience. I kept wanting them to stay happy and not stay happy, it’s like I wasn’t sure how to feel. Even thinking back, I’m not 100% certain what I think about their relationship.

Great review! The cinematography was great. I wouldn’t mind waking up to a place like that! I never really got around to grasping the entire concept on my head. It’s weird, they knew those boys since they were children and to embark on a sexual relationship?
Did not know Xavier Samuels was in Twilight, but he was good here. He definitely sold his part,and even if I don’t approve of the whole concept of the film, I ended up rooting for him.

0 | example_52849 | The Last Changeling is the first book in the new Faerie Revolutions series and I love the fact that it is so much more than a YA fantasy romance novel. At its heart, it is a story about equality and standing up for what is right. It is about fighting prejuice and making the hard choices in order to remain true to what you believe is right.
That being said, it is also not a book that really hits you over the head with those messages. They may be the driving force behind the story, but they don’t overwhelm it. There is also magic, romance, danger, friendship, and a whole lot of intrigue woven all around the true messages of the story.
The characters in this book are fantastic. Elora, our main character, is fighting to change her world… the world of Faery. She has been brought up in a world of racial prejudice, the light and the dark realms of Faery fighting against one another for centuries. She has been brought up to believe that humans are yet another enemy, lesser creatures incapable of true compassion and love. She has come to realize that those racial prejudices within her own world are weakening it for both sides and is trying to change that. When she moves into the human world and is saved by Taylor (a human guy), she is faced with the realization that perhaps humanity is not what she thought it was.
The destructive prejudices that she has found to be true of the Faery realms are also present in Unity High School, the human school she has “infiltrated” with a name that does not fit its reality. The prejudices here are manifested in sexuality and the treatment that those who are thought to be anything other than straight is horrendous. Taylor and Elora team up to change that, along with some unexpected allies.
I really enjoyed the premise behind this story, unlike any others I have read. I am a sucker for all things faery and I loved that this one came from the perspective of a Dark Faery. The story was engaging and engrossing and I can’t wait to read the next installment!
Kylie and Keegan. The twins, friends of Elora and Taylor, figure prominently and I love what they represent for the story.
If you love the realm of the faery, this is a great read! If you love a story that has some depth and some messages to it, this is a great read!

On April 25, 1851, the architect Andrei Ivanovich Stakenschneider received from the Minister of the Imperial Court a report with the following content: «at the order of His Majesty, I request Your High Nobleness to make a project for the construction of a small 5-dome orthodox church in Peterhof on Babigon Heights and present it to me to request Imperial approval'. A few months later the project was ready.
On August 11, 1851, the ceremonial laying of the foundation of the Church took place in the presence of Emperor Nicholas I, the Royal family, the Minister of the Imperial Court Prince Volkonsky, Chief of the Peterhof Palace Lieutenant-General Lihardov, architect Stakenschneider, Peterhof military commander Lieutenant-General Korsakov, сourtiers, residents of Peterhof and peasants from nearby villages.
In the foundation, a commemorative plaque was laid with inscription: 'On the orders of Emperor Nicholas I, a church at Babigon, near Peterhof has been established in the name of the Holy right-believing Empress Alexandra, in the year 1851, August 11' and a stone from the Holy Land from the banks of the Jordan.
Officiating at the founding of the Church, Nicholas I with tears in his eyes said: «I thank the Lord that He has allowed me to complete the founding of this temple. God knows, if I will see it completed.'
The church of the Holy Martyr Empress Alexandra was built in the Russo-Byzantine style and had a special beauty. Andrei Ivanovich Stakenschneider confirmed his reputation as an architect fully in command of all architectural styles. He created a graceful and elegant architectural design. The temple design includes motifs of Moscow church architecture and original design concepts.
The building of the church was completed on August 22, 1854. On August 31, 1854, in the presence of Nicholas I and members of the Royal Family, its solemn dedication was held.
After the Divine Liturgy, the Emperor thanked all who had taken part in the construction of this architectural gem.
During its existence the Church of the Holy Martyr Empress Alexandra was one of the most favorite places of prayer for the imperial family.
The last Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Emperor Nicholas II, who loved to visit the temple at Babigon prayed in the Church on the Babigon Heights annually while in Peterhof. | https://www.ucg.org.au/learn/read/bible-insights-weekly/biw-archive/tag/Doctrine | 2021-03-01T16:20:29Z | OSCAR-2109 |

0 | example_42829 | Rescuers Work Against Time and Odds For Miners
By: T.J. Winick, ABC News Updated: Mon 4:13 PM, Aug 13, 2007
/ Article Rescuers in Utah are working against time--and against the odds, trying to get to six coal miners. The men remain missing deep underground after a cave-in on Aug. 6. Rescue teams are set to drill a third hole into the Crandall Canyon Mine, exactly a week after six coal miners were trapped after an early morning cave-in. They haven't been heard from since. "We've had a once in a lifetime disaster here," said Bob Murray, Crandall Canyon Mine Co-owner.
Over the weekend, a high-resolution video camera detected a seven-and-a-half foot opening in the mine, but two feet were buried under rubble. "We were able to see a tool bag, chain and other equipment that you would expect to see underground, but no sign of the miners," explained Richard Stickler, with the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
On Sunday in Huntington, Utah, it was not hard to imagine what the faithful were praying for. "It's a day of heavy hearts for all of the miners who are gathered today," one priest said. But following the families' own briefing with mine officials it was clear that almost a week of uncertainty is taking a toll. "We're feeling ups and downs, grief and loss, patience and frustration, but there's so many of us together as a family that we're there to support each other," said Jose Sanchez, a cousin of one of the miner's. Rescue teams digging underground were pulled out of the mine twice on Aug. 12 because of "bounces" or shifts in the ground. Because of safety concerns and heavy debris, those crews are only a third of the way to the trapped miners. Hometown Hero, Richard Basham You must be logged in to post comments.

Tories call on government to compensate dairy farmers 'left behind' in USMCA
The Canadian dairy industry has raised concerns about how trade deals were eroding its share of the Canadian market
OTTAWA — The Conservative opposition says the government must compensate dairy farmers within 90 days of the new North American trade deal becoming law, saying the sector is the biggest loser in the renegotiated continental trade pact.
The recommendation comes in a letter to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland from Conservative MPs, a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press.
Dairy was one of the most contentious sectors under discussion during the acrimonious renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement that U.S. President Donald Trump foisted on Canada and Mexico in 2017.
The sector also has major domestic political considerations in all trade negotiations, and Canada and the U.S. are no exceptions.
Trump vilified Canadian farmers for putting American farmers out of work with what he deemed to be unfair practices in Canada. Trump pledged to fight for American farmers, and whether or not he is seen to have delivered will affect his re-election chances, especially in key midwestern states such as Wisconsin.
Quebec and Ontario — Canada's two most vote-rich provinces — are the main homes of the country's dairy farmers.
The Canadian dairy industry has raised concerns about how trade deals were eroding its share of the Canadian market not only during the renegotiation of NAFTA, but in the previous trade talks that led to Canada's comprehensive pact with the European Union.
"The largest group left behind by your government during the CUSMA negotiations is Canada's dairy sector," says the letter, which cites a 3.6% loss of market share in Canada due to the deal.
That and the elimination of classifications of milk protein concentrates, skim milk powder and infant formula "all combine to make the dairy sector the biggest loser of this deal," says the letter.
The Conservatives also ask the government to delay implementation of the new deal for the auto industry to January 2021 "to allow them to adjust to the new climate of the deal."
The impasse around autos was one of the biggest hurdles during the renegotiation of NAFTA because the United States insisted on new rules to increase the North American content automobiles.
The government's own economic impact assessment of the new deal, released this week, predicted that Canadian auto exports to the U.S. would decline by US$1.5 billion, the Conservative letter notes.
But the government's analysis said the deal was better for Canada overall and was better than no trade deal at all.
The Conservatives also raise concerns about the impact of the new deal on the ability of Canadian firms to bid on U.S. infrastructure projects, on digital trade, culture and forestry.
The U.S. and Mexico have formally ratified the new deal, but it is still before Canada's parliament .
Canadian business groups have urged politicians to set aside political differences and get the new Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement — as it is called in Canada — to passed into law as quickly as possible to end the economic uncertainty that threatens trade and investment.
The Liberals have negotiated separate deals with the NDP and Bloc Quebecois to win their approval for a quick ratification of the deal in the current minority Parliament.
The Conservatives say they support the deal too, but say it is crucial to more closely examine its winners and losers so that the pact remains strong in the future.
The letter also shoots back at past criticism by Freeland that the Conservatives are stalling the ratification of CUSMA.
"This is patently false. In fact, we have offered repeatedly to expedite our study of the legislation to ensure swift ratification, but at every stage your government has chosen to play politics," the letter says.
"Conservatives have always been clear that we will support CUSMA's swift passage."
The letter is signed by four Conservative MPs, including trade critic Randy Hoback and the Colin Carrie, the party's critic for Canada-U.S. relations. | https://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/exporting-and-importing/tories-call-on-government-to-compensate-dairy-farmers-left-behind-in-usmca-247833/ | 2021/12/03 07:06:40 | mC4 |

Re: Jacin, about that table
Post by Jacin » Sun Jan 05, 2003 6:54 pm
Hi Steve, Yes that is a swivel mount for the vise. Though it is a project in the works I finally started this bench with a few ideas first (I usually skip that and regret it [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/wink.gif"%20alt="[/img] ) The swiveling vise is handy when I am working on rather large sheets of alum or steel.
Anyways I have incorporated several "gadgets" into my bench. Enough that is has been called my "Swiss Army Bench" so named by a friend.
Anyways it includes a built in pivoting seat (insulated)- which can be stored underneath and out of the way. Also the seat top slides in/out to achieve a comfortable position regardless of where you're using it.
I also added a couple of tubes for TIG rod storage - keeps em at arms length and at my finger tips not to mention clean.
The air hammer mounted on it can also pivot down and under -again for self storage.
The bench is mounted on wheels - and has a "step brake" on one end so it is rock solid (no rocking) once positioned.
Also there is a "Hammer rack" that again pivots off of one leg - again keeps hammers and such at my finger tips. It pivots under for self storage.
There is also a "air fitting" underneath which includes both a filter and small hose reel. Perfect to keep those hoses out of the way.
I included a pic that shows a couple of the features. This was definitely a good project for me since it does save alot of time when using it.
Post by Roy » Mon Jan 06, 2003 7:24 pm
Have to agree, thats sure a spiffy looking bench, especially the pivoting vise. I added thinwall tube for my rod holders, only thing is they hold the rods vertical, so they are also dirt collection traps. I like the idea of having them on a slight slant and uner the lip of the table, probably cuts way down on catching debris.
I regards to the slip rolls and the English wheel....I think a slip roll would suit the majority of my types of projects best. The English wheel is amazing though, and the ones I have seen on the internet for sale, well, just lets say they are quite proud of them for the money asked, ($3500.00 > ) for nothing more than square tube etc welded up for a frame......but its interesting just the same.
Post by Jacin » Mon Jan 06, 2003 9:27 pm
Roy, the horizontal tubes work great - especially since they're back under the table edge. I highly reccomend it [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif"%20alt="[/img]
I wasn't (totally trying to talk you out of the slip rolls, but I will say that the Ewheel is far more versatile. As for the high cost - I definitely agree. But then again I built mine for right around $200 total- considering they get $150 for EACH lower anvil I figure my total cost ain't so bad <grin> Heck I see the "kits" alone are 1,100 - 1,200 bucks - WAY too rich for my blood!!!!! Probably a good racket if you could SELL a couple [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif"%20alt="[/img]

Hey Scott that BB Wedge ain't no sloutch!!! Not only that but you don't feel so bad if you scatter one of them [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif"%20alt="[/img] Not that scattering ANYTHING is good - but there are definitely different levels of BAD.
Let's see - a BB in a truck - must hook up about as well as my 392 Coupe ---- hey smokes fun too!!!!
There's a electrician here at work that tinkered with them 440's. He sure made them scoot! LOTS of power.
I do favor the Hemi's - mostly the Nostalgia thing - course the HP ain't bad. I remember when we were still in school. A buddy of mine had a 351 Maverick - I had a 327 Chevy in a Rambler (lotsa R's). Shortly after I got into 392's. I had my coupe going and casually raced it. My buddy could never quite keep up. He'd work - tweak - tune - Really thrashed and every week he'd get a wee bit faster. Every week he'd still loose. Finally all upset he just had to know what I was doing to keep ahead of him. I said I am finally learning how to spin the tires LESS. He was pissed. Mainly because I NEVER adjusted anything. Don't get me wrong - I got my clock cleaned too (just not by him)
In all honesty we never ran any too fast, but we sure had lots of fun anyways.

My friend, when I growing up had a factory aluminum fender,hood,deck lid,coronet.It had the stage three 426 max wedge.The car came without heater,and radio.I always like that version of the wedge.He blew that one up,and had Keith Black rebuild it.That had to be the fastest car I ever seen on the street.The thing was faster than my friends 454/427 62 chevy two.I will never forget riding with him when he got a ticket.It was for too much noise.He just opened his glove box,and threw it in with about 50 other tickets.That car was a 65 coronet,Everybody says those only came with the hemi,but unless somebody changed it I don't think so.I love those aluminum crossram intakes.Hey Jacin, Marty left out a category,rolling your own supercar.

I have always lusted after a "factory lightweight" but alas they are WAY outta my reach:( [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/frown.gif"%20alt="[/img]
However I recently saw a fella make an aluminum bumper for a Muscle Car - It got me thinking - Sure would be nice to lighten up some parts on my Hemi Rambler. I lightened up the front - some but still that big fat hunk o iron pretty much voided my effort so far. I think I will add aluminum bumpers to my "to do list"
I just bought a Bench top Nibbler - I think it will have enough "oomph" to do offsets as well as just cutting. I tried to get my buddy to buy this benchtop nibbler (and take the pressure off me) but he wasn't moving any too fast so I gave in to my impulses and told 'em "I'll take it" - Done deal - I pick it up on Friday - I think I'm gonna need to do some shuffling to squeeze it in somewhere:(

I have a 6" nibbler out in the garage and have no clue what it does. It sits on it's own pedestal, with a foot activated lever to disengage (or is it engage) the clutch. They had it running at the shop I got it from, but needed the motor off it, so I got what was left. I assume it cuts little pieces of metal to make bigger holes?

Handmade Greg Darnell Bits
I was cleaning the tack room the other day and found two bits that are very old. One is a high port spoon bit and the other is a cathedral bit. When I asked my Dad about them, he said that back in the late 70's when he was riding a lot of show horses and winning, Greg Darnell gave him those two bits that he had handmade himself in an attempt to get his name out there. Greg was not really well known yet and wanted my Dad to use his bits on his winning horses to help promote his bit making. How little they both knew. LOL. I don't have pictures yet and they need some cleaning up (as they have been laying around the tack room unused for about 20 years) but what do you think they might be worth. I am not interested in selling them yet, but I am just curious. I will try to get some pictures after cleaning them up next time I am home.
post #2 of 3 Old 02-22-2009, 09:30 PM
You might try contacting the man himself to see if he would be interested in them. I found this site with contact information Greg Darnall, bit & spur maker ~ TCAA
If not you might look into donating them to a cowboy museum. Or trying Ebay.
post #3 of 3 Old 02-23-2009, 05:00 PM
I would love to see pictures of your bits! Western Horseman has a section that readers can send pictures and descriptions to and they will give you a short history of the maker and a value. You can try there.
Vida's idea of contacting the maker directly is a good way to go also. I like ebay but you need an idea of it's value so that you don't set too low of a reserve and loose it at a bad price. | https://www.horseforum.com/horse-tack-equipment/handmade-greg-darnell-bits-23121/ | 2020/02/25 03:32:30 | mC4 |

0 | example_86010 | I haven't been following the thread for a while, so forgive me if I missed anything. I have a new idea that needs 'yes' or 'no' as soon as possible. I don't know much about modifying wii discs, so just bear with me & hear me out.
Is it possible to replace the System Menu 4.3U WAD inside the update partition of Metroid: Other M, with the System Menu 4.3K WAD?
you could probably swap in the whole 4.3k partition onto another disk, but soon as you edit a partition, rather than just completely replace it with another valid one, you break it.
still waiting for a 4.3k update on a disk, then your idea would probably work
That's what I thought, but then if we had a 4.3K disc update we could just update from the original disc. I just thought since IOS aren't region specific (e.g IOS80 works for all regions), if we changed the System Menu WAD that would only a small change, rendering it a 4.3K update partition, but I suspect that Nintendo have some extra steps in that process, such that would require a Nintendo Developlment Kit.
I just checked Nintendo Korea's website, there are currently NO new games scheduled for release, the latest was NSMB, so we'll be waiting a while. Although I remember back in this thread where updates were being put into channel installers or update partitions, I'm going to look into that.
So many Korean Wii got this error(I hate it)
I hope i NEVER get one(I hope nintendo dont auto update the machine)
Just got another 003, but this time this wii was on a 3.3u sm, I tought you could not get korean wiis past 3.2u, how the hell did that happen?

Isaiah the prophet, about 700 years before Jesus came to earth, wrote: “But many were amazed when they saw him. His face was so disfigured he seemed hardly human, and from his appearance, one would scarcely know he was a man.” (Isaiah 52:14, NLT)
39 times. The law said that you could whip a man 39 times. Why? Because the 40th slash with the whip would probably kill him.
Governor Pilate seemed to think that the barely-contained mob screaming for Jesus’ crucifixion might be appeased by a near-death sentence of whipping. So the Roman soldiers stripped Jesus and tied his hands to the post. Then 39 times, the whip whistled through the air, made contact with bare flesh, and was pulled across his back, the lead tips digging deeply into flesh until his back hung in ribbons.
When the whipping was done, they decide to have a little more “fun” at Jesus’ expense. They took Him behind closed doors, into the regimental headquarters where they called out the cohort – which would have been 500 men. Matthew writes, “They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on Him [as a king’s robe]. And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a reed in His right hand [as a scepter]. Kneeling before Him, they ridiculed Him, saying, “Hail (rejoice), King of the Jews!” They spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him repeatedly on the head.” (Matthew 27:27-30, AMP)
Isaiah 53:3-5a (NLT) “He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins.”
Adoration: Praise God using Philippians 2:6-11 “Though he (Jesus) was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Confession: Ask God to bring to mind any area that needs to be confessed. Agree with Him about your sin and ask for His help to walk in a different direction in this area.
Thanksgiving: Thank God that Jesus endured so much ill-treatment. He understands when we are mocked, bullied and even beaten. And He modeled for us true grace under fire as He was scorned on our behalf.
Supplication: Continue to pray for those who are coming to Easter services, including those you have invited. Ask God to soften the hearts of all who will attend so that they can understand just how much God loves them. | OSCAR-2019 |

OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) – As the Tri-State saw more snow the past few days, area hospitals are seeing more patients in their emergency rooms with injuries related to the weather.
More sidewalks are being cleared of snow that fell yesterday and earlier today, but the risks of slipping and falling on slick spots haven’t gone away. Doctors say slips and falls are one type of injury they’re seeing more of caused by this week’s winter weather.
“It’s been a little better, but it’s been awfully slushy, it’s nasty. It’s not too bad. It’s better than it was yesterday,” said James Robertson of Daviess County.
Several Tri-State hospitals say they’ve seen more ER patients with injuries from falls, crashes and other weather related problems caused by things ranging from car accidents to shoveling snow.
“It’s patients are roaring in with chest pain falls on the ice, fractured hips, things that you commonly see with cold weather,” said Dr. Doug Sheffer, Director of Cardiology at Ascension St. Vincent in Evansville. He also says the bad weather can be a health risk for people with heart or cardiovascular conditions who are worried about going to the hospital in bad weather if they feel ill at home.
“There’s been a clear progression throughout the week with cardiovascular symptoms people try to stay home just cannot stay home any longer. It can be very dangerous to stay home with chest pain. Without an EKG and blood work and a physician’s opinion, you don’t know if you’re sitting at home with a heart attack,” said Dr. Sheffer.
As the snow and ice melt, he says slick roads caused by melting and refreezing can lead to more injuries from accidents or falls. | https://www.getmyuni.com/college/vedant-college-of-engineering-and-technology-vcet-bundi-courses-fees | 2021-03-08T03:57:54Z | OSCAR-2109 |
3 | example_108412 | What Type of Business Phone System Is Best for a Virtual Company?
When starting a virtual company, choosing a VoIP phone system will give you, your employees and customers the best communication options.
With the continued improvement of mobile technology, expansion of Cloud-based software programs and data storage, and the desire for lower startup costs, many new businesses are ditching the traditional office space and opting to go virtual -- using the Web to connect employees, clients, customers and partners.
According to experts, the benefits of establishing virtual headquarters for your business include increased productivity, lower overhead costs, and environmental friendliness.
Here's a look at what one business found when they tried going virtual:
In 2010, the editorial staff of Inc. magazine experimented with becoming a virtual office for a month. Reporter Max Chafkin highlighted some of the pros and cons of the experiment in his article, "The Case, and the Plan, for the Virtual Company":
Save on overhead: Savings on going virtual include leasing office space, paying for utilities and internet, and purchasing office furniture. Companies should still plan on reimbursing employees for equipment they need for work, including computers, software and cell phones.
Utilize free services: Inc.com noted that businesses can also save on using enterprise software, instead relying on the free or low-cost programs that consumers use every day like Skype, Gmail and DropBox.
Increase talent pool: When it comes to hiring, being a virtual company is a boon. Not only do potential hires like the idea of working from home, they see the company as being more flexible and valuing productivity more than attendance.
Decreased collaboration: Since they're not sharing a physical space where they can pop in to chat with each other or have spontaneous brainstorming sessions, employees need to seek out space to share ideas online. While it's possible to use chat rooms and video conferencing as virtual water coolers, these meetings don't have the same informality and ease that working in close proximity has.
The virtual stigma: Virtual offices and working from home comes with a stigma -- customers can be skeptical and distrustful of companies that don't have a central location. Tony Conrad, founder of Sphere, told Inc.com that businesses should never refer to themselves as a "virtual company" and that it might even be wise to lease a small office to use for meetings with clients and investors.
Isolation: Employees can end up feeling isolated or out of the loop. Managers need to be cognizant about checking in regularly.
As noted by Inc.com, one of the most important aspects of any business is the ability of employees to communicate with each other and the ability of the company to communicate with clients.
While the lack of a traditional office changes how some of these crucial interactions happen, it doesn't mean that a virtual office is any less effective about sharing information easily with all interested parties.
In fact, with the improvement of mobile technology, the ability of virtual businesses to share information on a variety of platforms is better than ever, especially when it comes to new phone systems.
Picking a Business Phone System
One of the keys to ensuring seamless communication is picking the best business phone system for your virtual business.
Without a physical office, there's no need to consider purchasing key-less, KSU or expensive PBX-based or phone systems that are tied to a landline and often require specialized maintenance.
This leaves a Voice over IP (VoIP) phone system as your best option. With VoIP, regular voice calls are sent via the internet, rather than a traditional landline. Keep in mind, in order for the highest call quality, you and your employees will all need access to high-speed internet.
The cost savings for long-distance and international calls are significant compared with traditional telephone service (most VoIP providers offer free local and long-distance calls anywhere in the country and very low per-minute rates for international calls), making VoIP ideal for companies with employees and clients based across the country and around the globe.
Not only will a VoIP phone system save your company money, but the fierce competition among service providers means you'll also find improved service and cooler features (think high-def video conferencing) than with older phone systems.
Here are some of the features VoIP can offer your virtual company:
Local phone numbers anywhere you want to do business
Auto attendants to help route calls to the appropriate person
Calls forwarding to business, cell or home phones, meaning you'll never miss a call
Holiday and after-hours special greetings
Hosted phone services like VoIP also mean you don't have to hire anyone to maintain your office phone system -- your service provider manages any technical and service problems.
Depending on the service provider you choose and the number of added features you use, VoIP can actually help you better manage all the incoming and outgoing communication for your company. Faxes, e-mails, texts, chat, conferencing and calls can all be accessed from your computer desktop, smart phone or tablet, meaning you can take your business anywhere there's Web access. | https://www.business.com/articles/what-type-of-business-phone-system-is-best-for-a-virtual-company/ | 2019/02/17 07:18:22 | mC4 |

CBC News’ David Common breaks down what happened on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and how U.S. President Donald Trump stoked discontent among his supporters before he lost the election.
Three more people have been charged in connection with the storming of the Capitol building - including a newly elected West Virginia politician.
The Morning Joe panel discusses new details in the planning of the riot at the D.C. Capitol, new footage of the mob at the riot, the president's response, why Trump is a fascist leader and a new video from former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The FBI is searching through an estimated 45,000 tips from all 50 states to help identify and bring to justice the people responsible for the violent pro-Trump riots.
Video images from inside the U.S. Capitol late Wednesday captured the aftermath from supporters of President Donald Trump storming the building in a stunning bid to overturn his election defeat. Mobs battled police in the hallways and delayed the certification of president-elect Joe Biden's victory for several hours, leaving the legislative complex in disarray. The footage showed broken windows, overturned furniture and papers strewn on the interior of the Capitol building. A bust of Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of the United States, appeared to be smothered in blood.

The economy: Nightmare for the next generation
Will today's high school students become a generation of lost potential? Mary Butler
For young people today, the current recession is the least of their economic worries. Baby boomers and the massive burden they will place on Medicare and Social Security are far greater concerns, said panelists who participated in, "The Economy: Nightmare for the Next Generation," at the Conference on World Affairs on Tuesday in Boulder. CWA, in its 61st year, runs through Friday at the University of Colorado. Panels are free and open to the public.
"I say in advance, 'Thank you,'" joked panelist Mike Franc to the large audience of teens packed into Boulder High School's auditorium for the event. Franc, a longtime veteran of Washington policymaking and vice president of government relations at the Heritage Foundation, however, didn't make light of the economic realities facing youth in years to come. The projected gap between financial outlays and revenues is enormous, he said, and lawmakers are doing everything they can to ignore such forecasts.
"It's not a pleasant future," said Franc, who has four children, including three teenagers.
Panelist Jim Smith, a retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general, said Social Security won't be a concern if young people start saving early: "You'll go out and get a job and get a car," Smith said. "But don't spend your paycheck on a car." Instead he said, "If you save $200 a month in a mutual fund from the time you're 20 until you're 28, and then never another dime, you'll have $780,000 for retirement," he said. "But if you wait until you're 28 and save $200 a month until you're 65, you'll have $100,000 less." And like the parent of four that he is, Smith's practical guidance included pushing careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Meanwhile, panelist Deirdre McCloskey, who teaches economics, history, English, and communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago, mocked Smith's counsel and all the doomsday talk.
"You will have the prosperity of your parents - and you can screw it up, too, my dears," McCloskey said. "If you work hard at school and your job, you will do OK." McCloskey said there is too much emphasis on the importance of getting a job. It's more important, she said, to spend time discovering one's passion. Most people in the world live on $3 a day, she said. "The average American makes and consumes $130 a day," McCloskey said. "Go forth and find your way. The economy's not going to stop you."
A Boulder High junior, who identified herself as Norah, asked McCloskey: "You tell us, 'Don't worry,' but what if we don't have an option to go to college anymore? What do you suggest we do?" Norah explained that many teens have greatly diminished college funds as a result of the crippled stock market.
"Don't you think there will be an entire generation of kids who never went to college, that there will be all this wasted potential?" Norah said.
McCloskey said, no, she doesn't believe that will happen. Rates of college admissions are up, McCloskey said. She advised students to try community college if university tuition is out of range - and said the recession won't last forever. Education is a lifelong endeavor, after all, she said.
"Don't worry," McCloskey said. "You are not part of a lost generation. I'm giving you my money back guarantee."

0 | example_53767 | The season nine premiere of “Studio C,” which airs on BYUtv Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. MDT, is a milestone for the Provo-based sketch comedy troupe.
It’s the first episode to be filmed in New York City, where the group traveled at the end of August to perform at the Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom. The live-taped performance was hosted by Kenan Thompson, known for his own sketch comedy career on “Saturday Night Live.”
It’s the last season premiere that will feature the 10 original “Studio C” cast members, including Matt Meese, Mallory Everton and Whitney Call. All 10 original cast members will be embarking on a new comedy venture together, which will be announced later this year.
…
About half of the sketches for season nine, Andra Duke said, were taped with a live audience in Studio C, one of the three studios at the BYU Broadcasting building and the show’s namesake. In season eight, the show veered away from live tapings with a studio audience.
“The stage sketches have such a different energy than the pre-recorded segments,” Duke said. “Both are wonderful and they bring different elements to the show, and so we wanted to make sure that we had a good blend of both this season. It was such a hit to have it back in studio.”
In addition to the changing face of Studio C, BYUtv announced three new family-friendly shows. To read about them, click here.

Developing and Serving React Apps from Chromebooks
May 10, 2018 Jonathan Bredin
Yesterday I started to collect some notes on setting up React, Typescript, Babel, Webpack, Karma.... Holy cow! How many tools do you need just to get hello-react running? Fortunately, a web search short circuited most of that when the Interweb powers showed me Facebook's create-react-app script "bundled" with recent versions of npm.
A couple of command-line entries later, node was scanning a directory, transpiling Typescript, running tslint and unit tests, and serving up the results. It was so easy, you must be able to do this on a Chromebook....
There aren't many steps here. First install Termux, nominally an Android terminal emulator, but green-circle gateway to Linux from ChromeOS. We'll briefly use its package manager to bootstrap into the npm world.
pkg install git # you have to save your work
npx create-react-app lookout-unicorns
cd lookout-unicorns
Now point your browser to http://localhost:3000. Chrome, surprisingly doesn't recognize the URL, but Firefox for Android running on ChromeOS does.
If you want to use Chrome to view your fruits.... ChromeOS assigns the Android emulator a private IP address which you can get from ifconfig in Termux or Crouton. This won't be the same IP address assigned to your Chromebook by the network, but oddly ChromeOS will expose port 3000 to the world on your Chromebook's IP address to the rest of the network, just not to its own Chrome browser.... | http://www.bredin.org/blog/2018/5/10/developing-and-serving-react-apps-from-chromebooks | 2018/12/16 03:02:29 | mC4 |

by courtney | Apr 30, 2019 | Lessons From The Yard | 1 comment
I think this is the start of a new blog category! The more I toil in my yard, the more I learn about Spirit. This is my most recent lesson.
I had a lot of loss this fall—personally, physically, emotionally.
I don't feel it's necessary to detail it all again. If you're curious, feel free to browse older posts (this one, that one, and this one, too). Back when I was dating, if I got my ego hurt or my heart bruised or broken, I was would dive back into the romance pool, slapping a new profile on a dating site or buying a new outfit and flirt shamelessly as though to take revenge on all men because one had hurt or disappointed me. Those rebound experiences never worked. I usually ended up hurting others or re-injuring myself.
I did the same after my losses last year. I dug deeper into life as though it hadn't hurt me. I didn't take time off work, preferring to stay busy so I wouldn't think about the pain. I finished a book, I started a podcast, I began another book.
But one day last week, I struggled to get out of bed.
My tears were too heavy to lift my head from the pillow. If it weren't for our puppy, and the fact that my mom was coming over, I would have stayed there all day.
Mom bought hydrangea shrubs for the front of our house. I love flowers and I've found I love gardening. But because I know almost nothing about growing anything, my yard work has almost solely involved chopping at giant weeds: blackberry brambles bigger than my couch and ragweed stalks taller than I am. It's my favorite housework. I love dirt under my fingernails so much that I unconsciously remove my gardening gloves and just get in there.
As we were placing the plants, my mom pointed out an old stump at the edge of the flower bed, suggesting I get it removed before the new hydrangeas grew into it as it would prevent their growth in the long run. I took note and began to work after she left, pulling out crabgrass, ferns, and baby blackberry shoots so I could plant the new flowers. The stump seemed small and innocuous enough that I wouldn't need to mess with it that day. I could always ask my husband to do it later because I'm kind of a bad feminist, like Roxanne Gay. I believe in equal pay, but I also believe there are "man jobs," out there, such as removing old stumps from the front yard. But my husband was studying for an exam and I didn't want to disturb him. I started working and set thoughts of the stump aside.
I soon realized my plan wouldn't work.
When I churned up the soil, I realized the roots of the old stump were much more expansive than I would have guessed, crisscrossing the area I needed for my new flowers. I broke some of the roots with my hands and clipped others away with shears, but they still took the space I needed. My new plants would soon need the old stump's space.
It wasn't what I wanted to do with my afternoon. I wanted to plant flowers, not deal with old stumps. But I knew, before I could have the beautiful things I wanted, I needed to remove the painful things that stood in their way.
I set aside my trowel and picked up a hatchet and a shovel and got to work.
At first, I resented the stump. It was in the way of me doing the things I wanted to do. It was taking valuable time away from my morning, making it impossible for me to do the sixty other things on my to-do list. But as I chopped away, I realized the stump wasn't as deeply planted in the ground as I had thought. When I'd chipped enough away of the roots that the stump started to wriggle, I dug under it with a shovel. After a few pushes, the stump came out.
Beneath the stump was some kind of insect nest—carpenter bee or termite, I thought. When he saw it, my husband thought they might have been wasps. Its occupants had long gone, but I don't know much about those kinds of pests. Do they leave their eggs in them until summer? Would they return and eat up our house? Someone will probably correct me on this, but in the moment I didn't know.
The stump taught me a lesson.
By ignoring the problem of the stump, thinking that it wasn't important enough to address, or convincing myself that I didn't have time because I wanted to focus on other things, I could have set up a much bigger problem for me and my husband—one that extended beyond a cramped hydrangea bush.
Sometimes, we have to stop and deal with the ugly stump that's in our way.
It was a message for me, probably not just me. Maybe the hurt or other injury happened years ago and we think we're past it, only to dream of it at night and wonder why we wake up shaking. Sometimes, we can't move forward as much as moving forward seems attractive. We have to stop and consciously heal from what has happened to us.
It's better for our Magick, our relationships, our work.
More than that, it's better for our souls.
Louise on April 30, 2019 at 4:36 am
This was a beautiful post. It made me cry. I've had a busy spring, mostly with things I didn't want to do. Taking time, here and there, to work in the yard definitely helped. And yes, I dealt with an ugly stump or two and got plenty of dirt under my finger nails. | https://courtneyaweber.com/lessons-from-the-yard-what-the-old-stump-taught-me/ | 2022/06/25 10:22:05 | mC4 |

Beauchêne encourages bow hunting, for which special seasons are available.So, treat yourself and take advantage of this exclusive hunting season and the outstanding service here at La Reserve Beauchene.Let us take care of all the details, with our award winning accommodations and fine food at the Lodge under the American Plan or enjoy a more “do it yourself” experience at one of the well maintained Outpost Camps under the European Plan. Guide service is available upon reservation only. Naturally all hunters are required to wear bright red or orange vests/jackets. You will be required to supply your own gun and your Quebec hunting and fishing permits and success bonus. Make your hunt “the hunt of a lifetime” and book a“truly VIP” Moose or Spring Bear hunt here at La Beauchene Reserve. All packages include fishing rights!
A Canadian treasure lies hidden in North Western Québec, just a bridge crossing from the Ontario border and only miles from the Ottawa River. An easy four and a half hour drive from Toronto will find you at our doorstep in the heart of our 50,000 acre territory.
For guests who wish to burn some calories while taking a more intimate look at our forests, we offer a woodland trail. The trail starts at the Lodge, winds up over a steep hill past majestic white pines, northward toward Foley Bay. It then swings eastward through a magnificent sugar maple park and steeply down into “the Valley of Giants”, a mysterious grove of ancient arbor vitae (cedar). It then winds upward again toward the Foley Narrows, from where it is down and uphill by road back to the Lodge. There is a shortcut through a grove of massive hemlocks for those that would like to pass up the last loop. Many of the specimen trees bear identification tags, adding to the interest. You will find most of the species indigenous to Beauchêne. Bring good hiking boots or at least lug-soled runners. There are some fairly steep spots, but we have been told by one our woodsmen that “his grandmother would have no trouble making it in her wheelchair”. And, there is nothing to stop you from using the miles of bush roads for your hike or jog, as many of our guests do.
Located on the interface between the St. Lawrence and Boreal forest regions and close to the Ottawa River, the spinal chord of one of the most important eastern migration routes, Beauchêne provides plenty of opportunity for ‘Birders’. From early spring, Great Blue Herons begin to congregate at one of the largest heronries in the region, located on a small island (Ile des Oiseaux) in the east end of Lac Beauchêne. The Island is also home to many nesting families of Herring Gulls and some American Mergansers and Black Ducks. Large flocks of Brant Geese rest on the Big Lake for a week or two in late spring before heading on to the high Arctic. In addition to Wood Ducks, Hooded Mergansers and American Mergansers, you may find Red Throated Grebes on the water. You will doubtlessly see various Sandpipers and Belted Kingfishers along the edges. Happily, most of our lakes have their families of common loons. Lac Beauchêne is used as a staging area before fall migration by this wonderful bird and so we enjoy the annual September spectacle of flocks approaching 100 individuals, an extraordinary sight. Osprey, Broad-Winged Hawks, Goshawks and Merlin live here and we are regularly visited by Bald Eagles. Ruffed and Spruce Grouse are common and, in season, Ruffed Grouse hens and their large families of chicks are often seen scuttling across the roads and sometimes around the Lodge. As you would expect, the woods are home to many varieties of warblers, sparrows and thrushes and often ring with the work of various kinds of woodpeckers, most notably the spectacular Pileated Woodpecker, the famous ‘Cock of the North’.
The most popular starts at the Lodge, enters Foley Bay from where the longest portage leads up McDonald Creek to McDonald Lake. Paddle up McDonald, take a short portage (on the road) to McConnell Lake, paddle across the west end of McConnell and portage into Fox Lake. After crossing Fox, a short portage leads to Birch Lake. Then paddle eastward on Birch and take the short portage into Little Birch and from there to Little Beauchêne. Paddle down Little Beauchêne and take the short portage into Noah’s Bay on Lac Beauchêne and from there hug the east end of Lac Beauchêne to our Bear Bay Campground. The campground keeper will telephone the Lodge to arrange a water ferry back to the Lodge for you. A second loop mainly through Brook Trout country) leads from McDonald Lake through David, Taggart, Jeffrey, Foley, Rainbow and Laurie Lakes, then to Foley Bay and home. About portages, you will find no difficulty locating or managing them. They are kept open, most are short and both ends are marked with arrows.
Beauchêne’s water is sweet, clear and clean (it’s perfectly potable, but we advise caution in drinking from the smaller lakes – too many beavers). The big lake warms (at least on the surface) around the beginning of July each year. From then on, its wonderful for swimming. The beaches at the Bear Bay Campgrounds and Beauchêne Beach Outpost are particulary appealing on a warm summer afternnon. Their gentle, clean sand bottoms are heavenly playgrounds for children. Because the water is irriistable in summer, we ask parents to keep an eye on their families. There are no lifeguards on duty.
Many of our guests enjoy a workout before or after a day on the water. We keep on hand 4 mountain bikes for free use by our guests.

The most notable is with state Rep. Bob Jenson, R-Pendleton, with whom he forged an unlikely partnership to work on the Umatilla Basin Aquifer Restoration Project.
The effort – which broke ground early this month – involved an innovative solution to irrigating the land, filling the dry basin and helping maintain the Umatilla River flow for fish, by pulling water from the Columbia River in the winter months.
From his home in Hermiston, Jenson told the Tribune: "I think he probably would make a good manager for the city of Portland. He's basically young, well educated, very bright, very alert, and he has a deep commitment, I think, to working for the betterment of society, of people."
Jenson's not alone. "A lot of Republicans feel, I think, the same as I do – they respect his commitment, his ability to have insights into things, grasp problems quickly, and his willingness to take on the problems."
Smith's other proudest legislative work includes Oregon's "Cool Schools" initiative; the state's first human trafficking bill; championing the bill to put the whole state budget online; and to reduce middle management in state government. | https://www.blueoregon.com/news/6725/ | 2021/09/26 09:29:12 | mC4 |

Columbia VA Health Care System begins construction on a new Fisher House for South Carolina
November 8, 2021
By: Press Release
Columbia, South Carolina [Nov. 8, 2021] – Initial work has begun on the construction of a Fisher House in Columbia, South Carolina for the Columbia VA Health Care System. This house will allow veteran families to stay free of charge while a loved one receives medical care, supporting up to 16 families on any given night.
The Columbia Fisher House will be the second house in South Carolina supporting both active duty and veterans. The Columbia VA Health Care System supports 36 of the 46 counties in South Carolina and treats patients from neighboring states.
Rebecca Truettt stayed at the Charleston Fisher House while her husband Terry, a retired Army Black Hawk pilot, was treated for cancer.
“I just can’t even imagine what the outcome would have been,” said Rebecca. “It just really made so much of a difference in how he recovered and how his treatment went to have the Fisher House right there within walking distance to the hospital.”
A Fisher House creates an instant community for its residents, united by their common mission of supporting a sick or injured loved one, but also provides individuals with a secure and private refuge after a long day at the hospital to rest and recharge.
“The entire Columbia VA family is thrilled to have partnered with the Fisher House Foundation and our great community leaders to have a Fisher House built on our campus by the fall of 2022,” said David L. Omura, director of the Columbia VA Health Care System. “When a Veteran is in need of a family’s support, the best thing you can do is be physically present. This new home away from home will allow our Veteran’s families to be steps away from their loved ones as they are receiving care on our 97-acre campus.”
The 16-suite, 14,490+ sq.-ft. “comfort home” will join 92 other Fisher Houses operating in the United States and Europe. Each bedroom suite will be equipped with a private, wheelchair-accessible bathroom. Common areas will include a spacious kitchen, laundry room, patio, and large communal living, dining, and family rooms.
“We are thrilled to bring this house to South Carolina, and especially proud to announce this as we head towards Veterans Day,” said Fisher House Foundation Chairman and CEO Ken Fisher. “We owe these men and women a debt we can never repay, but it is my honor to at least be there for their families when they need us the most.”
The Columbia Fisher House will be able to provide up to 5,840 nights of lodging for families each year and save them more than a half-million dollars annually in lodging and transportation costs.
Construction of this Fisher House is supported by 84 Lumber Company, BCBS SC, Dominion Energy, Michelin of North America, Friends of Fisher House Columbia, Samsung Electronics America, Vehicles for Veterans, and the many gifts of a Grateful Nation.

I have practised yoga for over 30 years. I also qualified as an exercise to music teacher on the prestigious YMCA course, which is run and regulated by Loughborough University. But found that Yoga was her true path.
After many years of searching for a teacher I discovered Iyengar Yoga in London in 1987. I was lucky enough to attend classes with Silva, Mira and Shyam Mehta, the family that set up the first Iyengar Yoga institute in the UK, also the authors of 'Yoga, The Iyengar Way' Since then she has been a total convert to this method.
Janette is now an Iyengar Certificated and Insured teacher to Intermediate level and is offering classes in Southwest London. My knowledge is kept up to date by working regularly with many UK, European and Indian Senior & Advanced Teachers.
I have also attended classes in the central Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune, India. Prior to becoming an Iyengar Teacher I worked for many years in the service sector, where I gained an extensive knowledge of working with people.

Have Background Checks Ever Prevented a Crime?THR > Social Situations > General Gun Discussions > Have Background Checks Ever Prevented a Crime?
rainbowbobApril 22, 2010, 03:40 PMAnother thread suggested correctly that we need to re-frame the term "gun show loophole" to reflect what it's purveyors really mean: "private sales prohibition".
Not wanting to hijack that thread, I decided to start this one to discuss what - if any - evidence they have that background checks have ever saved a single life or prevented a single crime.
I'm asking this question because I don't know the answer. But let me say this at the outset: I believe that even if background checks were effective in preventing violent criminals from committing violent acts - it would not constitute a reasonable justification to curtail our freedom.
However, I think it is important that we are armed with facts in this ongoing debate. I realize most here will be against background checks under any circumstances (but I may be wrong about that). That stand will be more convincing if we have logic and facts on our side.
I'm interested in hearing the "other" side of the debate in order to more accurately assess their position.

rainbowbobApril 22, 2010, 03:53 PMthere is no empirical way to KNOW that a future crime was averted.
That is true of course. So what IS their justification for background checks? How did they come to be enacted? Are there any measurement even suggesting they may be effective?
Short of evidence - what is the theory behind them? We all know criminals can get guns no matter what laws are enacted to try and prevent them from it.
rbernieApril 22, 2010, 04:01 PMThe justification was that Hinkley lied on his 4473 when he bought the Rohm that he used to shoot Jim Brady during the Reagan assassination effort. Assuming that the GCA '68 prohibitions were constitutional and useful, it was an easy sell to convince lawmakers to grandstand on 'being tough on crime' by instituting a way to enforce the GCA'68. Nobody was much interested in going back and questioning the rationale behind the GCA'68.
BigO01April 22, 2010, 04:04 PMTrying to figure the answer to the OP's question is like trying to figure out if you prevented a accident by taking a drunks car keys and making them call a cab .
It is ASSUMED that you prevented one and arguably so but we will never know with any kind of certainty just as no one will ever know how many lives are saved every year by the vaccinations children have to get before going to school .
All that can be done is look at past data when nothing was ever done try to adjust the number for population changes and make a best guess .
TexasRiflemanApril 22, 2010, 04:06 PMDoJ statistics only show how many NICS denials result in prosecution; there is no empirical way to KNOW that a future crime was averted.
And this is an interesting statistic. It's a Federal crime for a prohibited person to try to buy a firearm. The prosecution rate for prohibited persons who lie on the 4473 to try to buy one is .02 %. That's POINT zero two. So what good is a law that no one enforces? So, did those turned away by NICS give up? Or did they get their guns through another source such as stolen, straw purchase etc? The statistics show they simply got the guns somewhere else, so did the NICS check really prevent a crime? As for the impact on overall crime it's difficult to say directly.
What we DO know is that the overall gun crime rate is about the same today as it was in 1967, before the GCA was passed. It's about the same today as it was before Brady was put in place too.
There was a drop in GUN suicides after the initial Brady law, which required a background check and waiting period, came out. But, the OVERALL suicide rate stayed the same so people just found another tool. That seems to be a good indicator that people who are intent on doing something don't give that up if their tool of choice is unavailable. There was a spike in gun violence in the late 80's that coincided with the drug war "Miami Vice" days, but that's come back down too.
At the end of the day the crime rate using guns is about the same as it's been for decades.

http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/glance/guncrime.gif
Other than the 'crack binge' blip in the early ninties, you'll note that gun crime has remained remarkably steady across the last three decades or so. If there's a benefit in the NICS/Brady check, it sure isn't represented in the data - I would expect to see a crime rate significantly less today than in 1973 if the background check was actually keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and preventing crimes from happening.
Oh, and note the following from the above link: According to data from the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2001 about 39% of the deaths that resulted from firearm injuries were homicides, 57% were suicides, 3% were unintentional, and 1% were of undetermined intent.
TexasRiflemanApril 22, 2010, 04:14 PMWhat Brady has done, and unfortunately many pro gun people even here on THR have bought into, is promote a "feeling" that it must have helped. I've had countless debates with people here and other places and they always come back to the "feeling" that it must have done some good.
That's a very poor way to legislate a nation, going on "feelings".
ArmedBearApril 22, 2010, 04:17 PMWRT suicides with firearms, background checks, and even more, waiting periods, led to people renting guns at ranges, or just loading them at store counters, and killing themselves with these guns on the spot.
I don't have numbers; I was on the board of a very busy range that was open long hours 7 days per week, though, and our manager had experienced this. We, like other ranges, implemented rental policies to try to discourage this.
Now, either suicidal people suddenly became very thrifty, or very scrupulous, and didn't want to run up their credit cards when they wouldn't be around to pay the bill, OR background checks and waiting periods simply led them to committing suicide in ways that hurt others, rather than just doing it at home. They're still dead. It just made a bigger mess.
ArmedBearApril 22, 2010, 04:18 PMThat's a very poor way to legislate a nation, going on "feelings". What legislation in our lifetimes isn't based on feelings? Scary, really.
BigO01April 22, 2010, 04:45 PMWhat legislation in our lifetimes isn't based on feelings? Scary, really. Actually ArmedBear all of it is even prior to and will be long after our lifetimes .
Even the Constitution and the original Ten Amendments were , after all Laws are just Rules .
Just as a for instance how many people here let their children at age 6 cook ?
I would bet not many yet when I was that age my Mom supervised me and taught me to make a few simple things on the gas stove at that age such as Bacon and fried eggs , French Toast and Pancakes , by age 11 or so I was Bar-B-Q-ing and starting the fires by myself .
And I'll bet you're old enough that you shot off fireworks without your parents there as a kid and in todays world many parents would freak out if their ten year old was caught with a pack of firecrackers !
Jim KApril 22, 2010, 05:44 PMNo way to answer most of those questions, but I have witnessed a couple of cases where a gun shop customer, told that his name would be submitted to the FBI for a check, decided he didn't really want the gun after all.
Was a crime prevented, or did someone just not want to go through the routine? The dealer had no legal right to detain the would-be customer or ask why his aversion to the NICS check.
ArmedBearApril 22, 2010, 05:46 PMa gun shop customer, told that his name would be submitted to the FBI for a check, decided he didn't really want the gun after all.
No, he realized that he'd have to see a fence and get one stolen from one of us, instead of a gun shop. And the theft of that gun might have involved all sorts of ugly things, including loss of life. Its sale created the incentive for thieves to steal more.
TexasRiflemanApril 22, 2010, 05:49 PMtold that his name would be submitted to the FBI for a check, decided he didn't really want the gun after all.
Decided he really didn't want THAT particular gun after all. I'd bet dollars to donuts he got a gun.
As bizarre as it sounds, AB makes a point that the NICS check probably increases gun theft. Not an argument for or against the check, but it's an interesting point.
CoRoMoApril 22, 2010, 06:14 PMLooking at a larger picture, the Brady law (NICS) has pushed nefarious acquisitions to the black market, and pretty much all of those transactions are crimes in & of themselves, and none of them are 4473-traceable. So we have more gun crimes occurring because of a law that was suppose to reduce gun crime.
rainbowbobApril 22, 2010, 07:04 PM...background checks, and even more, waiting periods, led to people renting guns at ranges, or just loading them at store counters, and killing themselves with these guns on the spot.
Very good point - and one that has been recently demonstrated at a local pawn/gun shop. Last week, a "friend" of the owner asked to see a shotgun, pulled a shell out of his pocket, loaded the weapon, and took his head off right there.
...see a fence and get one stolen from one of us, instead of a gun shop. And the theft of that gun might have involved all sorts of ugly things, including loss of life. ...we have more gun crimes occurring because of a law that was suppose to reduce gun crime.
Also good points. So often, the unintended consequences of policies are the oppposite of the stated intent.
Without drifting into politics - it sure is a good argument for "less is more" when it comes to the governance of a free people. I've become more and more convinced that the best days in this republic are the days that the elected officials are in recess.
CoRoMoApril 22, 2010, 07:07 PMYep, this nation is better off on those days when a snowstorm shuts down the capital city, and all the elected officials and their staff stay at home.
ArmedBearApril 22, 2010, 07:15 PMIronically, we might be able to trace more "crime guns" if there were no background checks. Common criminals are not typically Mensa types, and would, at least in some cases, just fill out the form and buy a gun at the store. That's how we know that Hinckley lied on the 4473... He FILLED OUT a 4473.
Smart criminals don't walk into banks with pistols for a few hundred bucks and 20 years in the pen. They're doing identity theft, which can net millions and is generally punished by a short sentence at Club Fed, if the perp is even caught, which happens FAR less often than bank robbers - who are almost ALWAYS caught.
merlinfireApril 22, 2010, 07:20 PMThe simple answer is, there's just no way to really know. When you're talking prevention, you deal with maybe's and might have's, and none of us can tell the future. A shot in the dark, as it were.
TexasRiflemanApril 22, 2010, 07:39 PMThe simple answer is, there's just no way to really know. When you're talking prevention, you deal with maybe's and might have's, and none of us can tell the future. A shot in the dark, as it were.
Weren't you just yesterday insisting that background checks for firearm sales at gun shows would decrease crime and that you supported legislation closing the so-called "gun show loophole"?
So, you admitted yesterday that guns from gun shows didn't have much to do with crime, now you say that background checks have no provable impact on crime, yet you support more gun laws......
See why several people made the leap to you being some kind of shill for an anti gun organization? Whether it's true or not you have to admit your statements on these 2 topics don't really jive.
Straight ShooterApril 22, 2010, 07:39 PMLocks keep honest men honest. They won't stop a determined criminal.
KeauxbiApril 22, 2010, 07:44 PMIf anyone ever argues that NICS prevents crime, remind them that Seung-Hui Cho passed background check and killed 32 unarmed students at Virginia Tech.
SlamFire1April 22, 2010, 07:46 PMIt is hard to know. A local gun dealer told me of morons who told him, as they were filling out the paperwork, that they were going to take that gun and kill someone.
Of course, the gun dealer stopped the sale. Don't know if these morons found an alternative, or cooled down in the mean time, because it is hard to know.
shockwaveApril 22, 2010, 07:52 PMwe might be able to trace more "crime guns" if there were no background checks. It does not strike me as a major problem that we make it illegal for felons and the mentally unstable and chronic DUIers and wife beaters to obtain firearms. A simple NICS background check for buyers is a fairly minimal thing. I think a lot of people are extremely confused and falsely believe that the intent of these laws is to prevent criminals from buying guns. I don't know why anybody would be so foolish as to believe that. The point is to make it illegal for prohibited persons to purchase firearms. Since sales to such persons is illegal, sellers have to protect themselves and the current system allows for that. | http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-519020.html | 2013/12/05 08:22:41 | mC4 |
0 | example_96250 | The Stick Chick: Disruptions and Recombobulations
A little personal issue going on right now - found out a few weeks ago I have to move by the end of this month, and today is the day I'm actually moving (found our new place the day after we were told we have to move, so it's all good). I'm moving less than a mile, so it's not too horrible.
This times ten thousand (or so it seems).
As a consequence, I haven't been able to train as much as I need or want to train. Packing and the details surrounding the move - plus all of the academic end-of-year activities for my kids - has a higher priority at the moment.
In the middle of all this, I also got sick, too.
Yes, let's fire that up for the poor ol' Chickie.
So, there's consequences to this.
First - not only am I in an incredibly stressful period, but I don't really have much time to engage in the one thing I know for sure helps me cope with stress - doing the martial arts.
Second - my insomnia is back with a vengeance (I wrote about how the martial arts helps me with insomnia here). My brain is running over all the variables in this move and it's hard to shut it all down at night.
Third - it's only a few weeks but I can feel that new bo form I just learned receding in my mind. I do practice it mentally - visualizing each step - but I've gotten stuck about half way through and can't remember how to get past this one part.
But life happens, and realistically, training disruptions like this do happen and will happen.
All we can do is cope with what we can't control, stay on top of what we can, and come out the other end. Yes, I'm all discombobulated right now - but there's a recombobulation area on the other side...
This is a real thing at the Milwaukee Wisconsin airport. I've actually seen it.
Image found here and read about it here.
My "Recombobulation area" consists of the next two days off work to organize the new house and then on Saturday it's the next gathering of the +Metroplex Arnis Players Alliance. After that, life resumes normally.
I desperately need some stick time, and a six-hour seminar will do nicely.
I also plan to ask my teacher to review the new bo kata with me before my next formal Kobudo session so I don't look like an idiot (well more than usual, anyway).
How do you cope with interruptions in training? How do you get "recombobulated"? I'd love to know!
(I won't be back online until tomorrow some time, so I'll be intermittently checking things on my phone - so be patient if I haven't responded - thanks!) | http://www.thestickchick.com/2015/04/disruptions-and-recombobulations.html | 2018/09/24 06:27:51 | mC4 |
3 | example_79608 | Personas will allow you to evaluate your content and identify the gaps in your content strategy to meet your potential customer's needs.
Conversion rate is a measure of your ability to persuade visitors to take the action you want them to take. It’s a reflection of your effectiveness and customer satisfaction. For you to achieve your goals, visitors must first achieve theirs.
In order to help you understand what visitors need in order to achieve their goals, you need to have empathy about their journey through the buying process. Too many companies and their agencies are so wrapped up in their own sales processes they forget that customers have a different angle of approach to the problem or need that they could solve if they took the right perspective.
That is why we’ve written countless articles and books over the years about the use of personas in your marketing efforts. It certainly, is great to see so many people finally taking about personas and they seem to have entered some sort of mainstream thinking. However, it is so extremely frustrating to see so many people who have bought into personas disappointed by pseudo-experts, add-a-line-of-expertise agencies and other expensive charlatans who deliver something they call personas and fail because they paid for the wrong tool for the job.
To truly communicate with your visitors, you must put yourself in their shoes. They’re not all wearing the same shoes, by the way. There is no average visitor, or primary persona when it comes to the way people buy from you. There are many segments and your personas can represent these segments.
Put yourself in the shoes of one of those “typical” visitors. Can you imagine arriving at your landing page and clicking through your website? Does every click feel completely relevant and made just for you? If you answered no, why should your visitor feel differently?
Content, words, and images are the interface people use in order to navigate through their purchase process online. So personas that are created for design such as those first popularized by Alan Cooper in his book “The Inmates Are Running the Asylum” are inappropriate. Then we often see these extravagant personas that are delivered by many agencies and they are great when you look at the canned demographics and pseudo-psychographics that they pull out that might be relevant to how they buy media but haven’t been given the depth of research that helps you plan the content both by what it says and how it should be delivered to each persona.
Personas are the representative stand-ins for the modes in which it is possible for individuals to interact with you and your business. They should allow you to capture:
Empathically-different segments within the narrative: If two segments exhibit similar buying processes, ask why we’re analyzing them as separate?
With your personas in hand, I’d like you to do a search for your top keywords. If you have paid ads, even better. For each persona you have step into their shoes and evaluate the ad and the landing page (or landing experience) for the conversion trinity.
How is this ad/landing page/blog post/tweet relevant to this persona? What does this term mean specifically for them?
How have you framed why they should buy from you and what value do you bring to this persona to solve their specific needs and problems?
How have you helped this persona decide what action they need to take and how have you given them the confidence to take that action?
If your persona doesn’t allow you to do this easily, you have the wrong tool or personas for content marketing. I’ll be spending the next few columns helping you get them right.

1 | example_30296 | Ekklesia | Give it up for CAFOD
Home / Give it up for CAFOD
By Sophie Stanes
It is a great milestone for us. During this time - with tremendous support from parishes, schools, religious orders and catholic organisations in England and Wales - we've managed to raise over £65 million from our Fast Days, donations that have been used for healthcare, education, and justice projects transforming the lives of millions of people living in poor communities from Bolivia and Bangladesh, to Nigeria and Nicaragua.
For this special anniversary year, we're inviting people to journey with CAFOD through the season of Lent with a focus on transforming the lives of others. The message is very simple: "Give it up!", a theme reflected in all the materials we are distributing this year which includes the ever popular money box.
Our building blocks are four small brightly-coloured envelopes, each with a different suggestion of what to give up. The envelopes share examples of how the money raised will help to transform the lives of families by providing the things they desperately need. Essentials such as safe, clean water, tools and seeds to grow food, materials to build themselves secure homes, and much more.
One of the envelopes poses the challenge: "Could you turn biscuits into bicycles this Lent?". The design is a bike with 'biscuit' wheels and it illustrates one of the many ways CAFOD transforms lives with your help – providing a bike to enable a health care volunteer to reach children who have lost their parents and are struggling to cope alone. Other challenges include giving up wine and transforming it into clean, safe water or donating the money you save by fasting a day or week during Lent and transforming it into nutritional food for a family.
These are just examples, you could give up anything!
I have seen firsthand the results of what your support has helped to achieve. Most memorable for me was a visit to an isolated community in Nicaragua where with the technical help of our partner organisation there, John XXIII Institute, the villagers built their own clean water supply. Instead of having to bathe in muddy pools or drink polluted water used by their livestock, they were able to benefit from something we all take for granted every day. It has transformed the lives of these men, women and children, not only improving their health but also giving them greater dignity. I shall never forget the generosity of these wonderful people who had so little, it has made me think about how much I could give in comparison.
Perhaps that's why I'm going to choose 'changing wine into water' this Lent as my personal Lent offering - a real challenge for 40 days and nights, particularly as I like a relaxing glass of wine! But having seen the difference it could make, this sacrifice will be nothing.
We hope so much that by launching Give it up!, we will be able to reach out to many thousands of Catholics and inspire and motivate them in bringing about a more just world.
CAFOD Lent Fast Day is Friday 26th February - to find out more about 'give it up' you can go on line: www.cafod.org.uk/giveitup or you can get in touch with your local parish contact | http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/lifestyle/advocacy/lent_cafod | 2019/04/26 09:51:38 | mC4 |

1 | example_79387 | CAB protests: Kolkata sawyers, businessmen to arraign Mamata Banerjee over non-implementation
Bengaluru, First Published Dec 17, 2019, 6:50 PM IST
Bengaluru: Lawyers and businessmen in Kolkata have approached the Calcutta high court over WB CM Mamata Banerjee's statements relating to non-implementation of CAB, now a law, in the state.
As many as three petitions were filed in this regard.
In an open defiance against the centre, Mamata Banerjee had declared that she would implement neither the CAA nor the NRC in her state.
Another petition was also filed at the court on the issue of how Mamata spent public funds to advertise that she would not implement the two.
Interestingly, another petition seeking preventive detention of Firhad Hakim, the Kolkata mayor was also filed.
The CAB, now a law, grants citizenship to those religiously persecuted non-Muslims from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh who have been here in India before December 31, 2014.
The law comes as a one-time offering for the religiously persecuted minorities who have been in India before December 31, 2014. Note that the law doesn't relax itself to accommodate a Hindu who came a day later, that is on January 1, 2015.
How many Hindus or non-Muslims will be benefitted by this move? Well, not more than 30 to 32000.
In spite of these features of the law to accommodate badly bruised Hindus, there are others who say that the Constitution doesn't discriminate on the basis of religion. But they conveniently forget that Muslims get preferential treatment and have a ministry like minority affairs to cater to their needs. Strictly speaking, they too are positively being discriminated, which ought not be.
Back to the issue of Mamata Banerjee deciding not to implement NRC and CAB, she has also been accused of shielding anti-social elements belonging to the minorities.
Amit Shah, on the floor of the house, said that Hindus had to approach the courts to celebrate festivals like Durga puja and therefore, Mamata had done enough to wipe out the secular fabric of the state. | https://www.mynation.com/india-news/caa-nrc-kolkata-lawyers-businessmen-drag-mamata-banerjee-to-court-over-non-implementation-q2nrq0 | 2022/01/20 08:16:16 | mC4 |
