1 | example_76408 | So you can't live with your folks, and you can't buy a house yet. Your first decision is whether to rent a place on your own/with a significant other, or roommates. Living alone simplifies your life and maximizes your freedom, but also means a smaller space and slows down your saving toward a home. Having roommates also comes with its own set of challenges, but typically you should get to pay less for more space, split other costs, such as internet and utilities, buy fewer furnishings, and even live in a better neighborhood. For these reasons I would advocate having roommates as long as it provides you with adequate private space, too. | https://rochestermedia.com/tag/ginny-and-ray-de-steiger/ | 2021-03-05T14:05:54Z | OSCAR-2109 |
0 | example_66886 | - Non-AQ helmet stickers: Week 3
Time to dole out a few non-AQ helmet stickers:
Andy Dalton, QB, TCU. The Horned Frogs looked absolutely unstoppable against Baylor, and they can thank their stud quarterback for that. Dalton went 21-of-23 for 267 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in the 45-10 win. He set a TCU single-game record for completion percentage (91.3), and opened the contest with 11 straight completions. Dalton, who leads all active quarterbacks with 32 career wins, has now completed 74.6 percent (53-of-71) of his passes on the season.
FIU defense. For the second straight game, the Panthers fell just short of a major upset over an AQ opponent. But you have to give credit to new defensive coordinator Geoff Collins and the work he has done in making this a much more aggressive, opportunistic unit. Yes, the Panthers blew a 20-6 third-quarter lead in a 27-20 loss to Texas A&M. But FIU had six sacks and forced five turnovers in the loss. Anthony Gaitor returned an interception 54 yards for a touchdown, one of four interceptions in the game. The narrow loss followed a narrow loss to Rutgers to open the season last week.
Ronnie Hillman, RB, San Diego State. The true freshman has been one of the key reasons why the Aztecs have been able to run the ball this year. Hillman had 228 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-24 loss to Missouri, including long runs of 75 and 93 yards. The 93-yard run is the second longest in school history, but the longest in the Division I era. The last time a San Diego State player ran for over 200 yards in a game was Lynell Hamilton, who had 218 against Wyoming in 2003. Hillman has a rushing touchdown in three straight games and a total of seven on the season.
Colin Kaepernick, QB, Nevada. Do we sound like a broken record player when we keep giving Kaepernick helmet stickers? He was deserving once again this week after Nevada's 52-31 win over California on Friday night -- the school's first win in seven games against opponents from automatic qualifying conferences. Kaepernick had 329 yards of total offense and five touchdowns -- 148 yards rushing and 181 yards passing. He moved into a tie for seventh with Brad Smith of Missouri with 45 career rushing touchdowns on the NCAA list.
Adrian Robinson, DE, Temple. Robinson forced Connecticut running back Jordan Todman to fumble and went 24 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 8:28 left in the game in the Owls' 30-16 win. Robinson forced two fumbles on the afternoon as Temple went to 3-0 for the first time since 1979. The win was the first over an AQ conference team in the Al Golden Era, and the first since a win over Syracuse in 2004, when it was still a member of the Big East.
Jackie Williams, WR, UAB. Williams made a leaping 44-yard touchdown catch at the goal line on the final play of the game, giving the Blazers a come-from-behind 34-33 win over Troy. The touchdown ended a 99-yard drive led by backup quarterback Bryan Ellis, who had 1:09 and no timeouts when the series began. Williams ended up with six catches for 114 yards and two touchdowns. | http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/print?id=27492 | 2016/07/29 02:49:48 | mC4 |

Robson had fallen out of favour at Grace Road after a modest 2016 season and the arrival of a new head coach. He was out of contract at the end of the season but, realising that he might struggle to break back into the first team, asked for his immediate release in order to pursue opportunities elsewhere. But nobody in either division of the County Championship reached 50 more often than him between the start of the 2014 season and the end of the 2016 one and, aged 25, there is no reason he should not have his best years ahead of him.

Question regarding dosage of Ritalin LA
04-01-2013 22:47 #1
DS was diagnosed with ADHD a few months back. Prescribed 10mg Ritalin (immediate release) which has done
him wonders. Started out with just one tablet in the morning, but increased to 2-3 tablets a day in four hour intervals.
At the last appointment with his paed I inquired about trying Ritalin LA, so that he didn't have to have medication
at school, and to reduce the rebound effect.
As it is not available on PBS until they turn 6, he said to email him after DS's 6th birthday and he'd write out a script and leave it with his receptionist for me to pick up. So I picked the script up today for Ritalin LA 30mgs, didn't have an appointment so no chance to discuss it further. Did a little bit of research online about it, and basically what I've read states that the way that it is released, Ritalin LA is equivalent to having two doses of immediate release in four hourly intervals.
Which then leads me to question...since he is currently on 10mg of Ritalin - isn't 30mgs too high a dosage for him? Shouldn't he be on 20mgs instead,? I don't want his dosage to increase - at the dose he is on, he is calm, happy, but not zoned out...but I fear that any higher a dose might be enough to actually zone him out.
Anyone else whose child has gone from immediate release to extended release, what dosage of both were they on? Am I right in thinking that 30mgs is too high a dose?
04-01-2013 23:38 #2
We went through this but it was 5yrs ago so can't remember what dose his LA ones were. He was one 10mg short acting morning and noon but the school weren't reliable at giving his lunchtime dose so we switched to long acting and it was crap. No where near as effective as the short acting.
I think the long acting ones are set doses depending on weight and age. DS is on 36mg Concerta (basically the same ingredients as Ritalin) at 10yrs old and can't go up anymore unless he gains a lot more weight.
Can you speak to the pead or even the chemist before you give him the new meds?
If your DS is on 10mg 3-4 x a day then that is 30-40mg over what 12hrs? The slow release works over a 12hr period so I would think he's getting the same dosage? I could be wrong though which is why I suggest calling your pead or asking the pharmacist.

Thanks Myztik
From what I've read, Ritalin LA only lasts for 6-8 hours, with two peaks - half dosage as an immediate release, and a delayed release approximately 4 hours later (which is why they say it's equivalent to 2 'normal' doses). With the regular Ritalin, he has a 10mg tab at 8am, another at 12, and on rare occasions one more tablet at 4pm. So currently he only has a 20mg dosage over an 8 hour period.
Will definitely talk to pharmacist about it tomorrow! Just wanted to get an idea of whether my concerns are valid.

Ah ok. Like I said it was 5yrs ago that we went through it all. I think any concern you have regarding medication is valid! I hope you're able to get some definite answers asap
05-01-2013 08:51 #5
Chemist said that I am correct, it is equivalent to a higher dose...but it's still within safe levels. So I have given him one this morning, seems fine so far. Will still email paed and discuss getting a script for 20mg instead, as I don't want him to be on a higher dose than is necessary!
05-01-2013 15:22 #6
Hopefully you can get the dose you think is best for him
06-01-2013 09:21 #7
He seems to be doing fine with it so far YAY!! Although rebounded pretty badly last night, wasn't grumpy or anything was just SO over the top, wouldn't stop moving and talking and making noises and being clingy to me. Lol.
06-01-2013 11:34 #8
Glad to hear he's doing ok so far. The rebound may not be as drastic once his body is used to the new dosage. My DS gets a bit fidgety and very talkative once his wear off but not bouncing off walls like when r doesn't have his meds lol. | https://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?483451-Question-regarding-dosage-of-Ritalin-LA | 2018/01/18 06:39:53 | mC4 |

3 | example_102077 | What Boston Property Owners Should Know About Lease Agreements and Emotional Support Animals
Boston Property Management, Boston Property Management Companies, Emotional Support Animal
Christine Mulvey | 02 November 2020
Emotional support animals (ESAs) are becoming a more common resource for people than ever before. When you own and operate Boston rental properties, it's essential to understand how to handle renter requests for ESAs and how they apply to your lease.
Do emotional support animals count as pets? Are they the same as service animals? These questions can be tricky without the right insights. In this blog post, we'll discuss what Boston property management companies want you to know about emotional support animals and how to set up the lease agreement to help you be a successful landlord.
A Pet, a Service Animal, and an Emotional Support Animal: What's the Difference?
You might have renters that want to keep many types of animals for pets: dogs, cats, rodents, snakes, fish, birds, and others. However, landlords have a legal right to restrict or deny pets for their rental properties—as long as they follow anti-discrimination policies when denying a pet.
When it comes to denying services animals and emotional support animals, property owners must avoid legal problems. First, let's take a look at the differences between service animals and emotional support animals, including:
Service animals are trained to perform tasks for people with physical or mental impairment under the Americans with Disabilities Act. For example, they can be trained to guide people who are blind, let a deaf person know a phone is ringing, pull a wheelchair, remind people to take their medicine, and do many other tasks.
In most cases, to be recognized as an emotional support animal (ESA), a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist must authorize the animal. A licensed mental health professional must decide whether the animal's presence is required for the patient's mental health. While service animals are almost always dogs, emotional service animals can vary.
While there are differences between service animals and emotional support animals, neither are considered "pets." Therefore, property owners cannot force these animals and owners to comply with pet policies outlined in the lease or rental agreement.
Know the Laws About Emotional Support Animals
The primary difference between a service animal and a support animal is that a service animal has the training to perform a function that its owner can't down on their own. Because they provide an essential function, service animals are considered "medical equipment" and can qualify as a reasonable accommodation under the federal Fair Housing Act. Service animals are protected under the ADA and most state laws. Denial of a service animal for a tenant is considered discrimination under federal law.
In most situations, landlords must allow service and emotional support animals at the request of a renter. However, not every request is legitimate, and property owners must beware of tenants requesting an "emotional support animal" to get around no-pet policies. Work with a Boston property management company to analyze these requests, and work with your lawyer to avoid discrimination violations.
Explain the Rules in the Lease Agreement
Whether you allow pets or not, the rules need to be spelled out entirely in the lease agreement. Since ESAs and service animals are not considered pets, landlords are not allowed to charge a pet deposit or monthly pet fees. However, if the animal causes damage while staying in the property, it can be appropriate to deduct the tenant's security deposit for this loss.
A landlord can also restrict a tenant from having certain dog breeds in a standard no-pet policy. However, when it comes to service animals and emotional support animals, a landlord is not allowed those same restrictions. Check with a real property management company to ensure that you and your lease agreement follow the law.
Allowing Pets Could Be an Advantage
Should a landlord allow pets in your rental property? Let's take a look at the benefits from one of the best Boston property management companies' perspective:
More tenants interested in your property. In a recent survey, 42 percent of renters in the Boston area said that having a pet-friendly policy was important.
Make more money. In addition to the pet deposit, many landlords charge a monthly pet fee or a higher monthly rent for renters who have pets.
People who own pets are more responsible. Taking care of a pet requires a significant amount of focus and time. Most pet owners will devote the same level of attention to your house to prove themselves as excellent residents.
Pet owners are more likely to stay longer. Since finding a pet-friendly rental can be a challenge when a pet owner finds a place, they are more likely to renew their lease for the residential property and stay longer.
Work with a property manager to develop excellent pet policies for the lease (and enforce them)!
A Boston Property Management Company Handles Pets and Service Animals
Avoiding problems with discrimination and making sure everything is covered in a residential lease agreement can be a challenge. However, working with a Boston property manager can help you follow federal and state guidelines for service animals and emotional support animals.

Neste ano, esses consoles e também o Switch não contarão com a sequência do Modo Jornada, intitulado Hunter Regressa. Rather, Unity is about deaths, and they're extraordinary. He was born in Versailles where his father was an Assassin. The gameplay in Assassins Creed Unity Free Download has been altered by adding a new aspect to combat that was inspired by fencing. Whether you're striding through haggard ghettos or regal royal residences Unity acknowledges urban foulness and sparkling extravagance with equivalent dedication. The girl Arno is interested in is a Templar named Elise De LaSerre and her mother is the Templar Grandmaster who adopted Arno. The best thing about this is that its conveyed in a word and extremely rare cutscenes and voiceover plays from several characters situated in the present-day.
The game was meant to be rebuilt, with fencing being used as an inspiration for the new system. He managed to find out who are the originators of war, and he intends to stop the fratricide. Watch out specifically for the professional killer's most prominent adversary, the little box, which Arno will once in a while mount just as its the most astounding point on the planet and take some urging to jump off. It's meddlesome, smashs the dream, and keeps down things and components from players who would prefer not to waste time on web diversions or applications. You can avoid all that and purchase weapons and reinforcement immediately with genuine cash by means of a microtransaction framework that is nervy, best case scenario and simply discouraging even from a pessimistic standpoint.

He will gradually rise up through the ranks just like Altair and Ezio from previous Assassins Creed games. In this time of chaos and brutality, a young man named Arno, wounded by the loss of those he loved, sets on a deadly path of redemption.
The Phantom Blade resembles a crossbow in mechanics and is able to launch projectile silently while still travelling a great distance. Before long I came to perceive certain edges and resource plans best evaded for the purpose of pace. If you dare game assassins creed unity download from torrent we not just witness a plausible historical events that decide the fate of France, but we will also take a direct part in them. These missions help me positively to remember Hitman: Blood Money. These missions are encouraged by another stealth framework.
There are three composers of this game first is Chris Tilton second is Sarah Schachner and the third is Ryan Amon. At the point when the mission begins you're allowed to discover your way in and approach the objective anyway you wish. There is a limit of four players that can join the same game through the tavern. Tragically, the fact of the matter is more dangerous.

The crowd regularly presents many activities, appearing organically, that the player can choose to engage with at their leisure. Never again are you hauled out of your energizing experiences to pretend an all the more exhausting individual. Battle has been invigorated, as well, with great aim yet blended results.

Home / Bean to Bar Collection Box / Oh Canada! - Milk
A collection of award winning dark milk chocolate bars all made by Canadian chocolate makers!
McGuire Chocolate's Big Booty Hank bar is a self declared smooth and creamy bar. The winner of a Bronze award at the 2019 Academy of Chocolate, this bar is made with direct trade cocoa beans from Nahua, Costa Rica. McGuire uses 52% cocoa for this bar, emphasizing the rich fruity flavour notes of the cocoa. The result is a mildly sweet, deep chocolate milk bar.
Finnia's Mexico Milk is created from cocoa beans in the Tabasco region of Mexico. A smooth, creamy bar with an extra shot of cocoa butter, this is a melt in your mouth kind of bar. Natural flavour notes of hazelnut and fruit are detected as it melts; a delicious combination. The North West Chocolate Festival awarded this bar a Gold in 2018.
Sirene is very clear that this Dark Milk bar he created is NOT a milk chocolate bar…it's a dark chocolate bar with milk added as a flavour. Interesting, right? The bar's flavour predominantly comes from the cacao beans…a mix of Madagascar fruitiness and Guatemalan caramel notes. Such a lovely combination of flavours and recognized and awarded year over year by the International Chocolate Awards.
SOMA started with dark chocolate versions of this bar but is now creating the Old School bar in Milk Chocolate and we are sooooo happy they did! Texture and taste - that's what this bar is all about. Super minimal processing, Chuou beans from Venezuela and the SOMA touch makes this an absolute sensory explosion! Even the die hard dark chocolate lovers have bowed down to this multi award winning bar! | https://jojococo.ca/collections/bean-to-bar-collection-box/products/oh-canada-milk | 2020/09/27 04:18:47 | mC4 |

Home / News / TalkTalk TV
Not only are Tesco closing loads of stores and losing the staff that worked there, there's also a culling going on at their head office. This is going to involve job losses going into the thousands as the company look to rectify the mess that the new bosses inherited.
Sky News have reported that retail giant will start telling senior staff that there's going to be some changes at the Tesco HQ, which currently employs around 8,000 members of staff.
Dave Lewis, Tesco's new gaffer, had previously said that as many as 30% of the head office cost-base could be removed, and while that won't just focus on sacking people, it looks like 2,000 jobs will be going at the very least.
With the Serious Fraud Office investigating Tesco's £263m accountancy blackhole and 9 executives suspended, this is a troubling time for the supermarket.
Some money is coming back their way, as they've confirmed that TalkTalk is going to buy the Blinkbox Movies streaming service off them. TalkTalk will be getting it for a relative snip though, paying just £5m for it. Tesco's broadband service has also been thrown into to the deal.
Tesco's Blinkbox Books service has also found a buyer in ebook company Kobo. Customers of both the ebook and movie services will be integrated to the new companies in the coming weeks. This all closes Tesco's chapter with Blinkbox, after they sold the music arm to Guvera earlier in the week.
A Blinkbox spokesperson said: "Those who access Blinkbox Books on a Hudl will be able to install the free Kobo reading app on their device. We will be communicating the timelines for the transition in due course." An email will be sent to customers telling them what to do, also. The bad news is that Tesco customers with unspent credit on their accounts won't be getting it transferred to Kobo.
Things are being shook-up in Tescoville.

0 | example_20932 | Last week, Pope Benedict XVI lifted the decree of automatic excommunication against a group of right-wing bishops who were ordained without papal approval, an act of schism, in 1988. Most of the publicity surrounding this intra-ecclesial move has focused on its effect on Jewish-Catholic relations, because one of the bishops, Richard Williamson, has recently and publicly denied the Holocaust. In protest of the decision to remove the excommunication, the chief rabbi of Jerusalem severed relations with the Vatican, and the Pope's planned trip to the Holy Land later this year is now in doubt.
Just because the decree was lifted does not mean the bishops are within the Catholic fold: To achieve full communion with Rome, you must accept all the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. But the bishops belong to the conservative Society of St. Pius X, a group founded in 1970 by French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre because they rejected Vatican II. Since he took office in 2005, Pope Benedict has made no secret of his desire to end the schism. Holocaust deniers, of course, are crazy. But for a Catholic to deny the teachings, and even the validity, of the Second Vatican Council is pretty insane, too.
An ecumenical council is the most authoritative form of church teaching. The first council, at Nicaea in 325, issued the creed that is still recited at Sunday Mass. Other early councils defined the divinity of Christ and the doctrine of the Trinity. In the 16th century, the Council of Trent represented Catholicism's response to the Reformation.
Rejecting the teachings of a council is a bit like being a Republican in favor of higher taxes: You have to wonder why you're still a member of the club. Lefebvre and his ilk decided to leave the club rather than accept the teachings of Vatican II. They were especially alarmed by the abandonment of the Latin Mass and the Decree on Religious Liberty, which recognized the separation of church and state as a valid form of constitutional arrangement. "The Second Vatican Council is the religion of man, of man put in the place of God," the British Williamson told a U.K. paper. "Deep down what it means is that it's a new religion, dressed up to look like the Catholic religion, but it's not the Catholic religion." While the leader of the Society of St. Pius X, Bishop Barnard Fellay, has forbidden Williamson from speaking about the Holocaust and apologized for the controversy, he actually echoed Williamson's objection to Vatican II. (And at least one society member has spoken out in !
Pope Benedict's decision to try to bring the Lefebvrists back into the fold was entirely his own. The pope believes he has a special responsibility to promote unity among Catholics-including those who have fallen away from the church. In a rare show of public dissatisfaction with his superior, Cardinal Walter Kasper said tersely, "It was the decision of the pope." Kasper called Williamson's remarks "gibberish" and emphasized that lifting the automatic excommunication was the start of a long process that could come to fruition only if the Lefebvrists accept the teachings of Vatican II. Other Vatican officials have expressed dismay at the pope's move off the record.
Benedict's decision is especially difficult to understand when the Vatican is proceeding against two priests for their disagreement with the magisterium of the church. American theologian Roger Haight was recently silenced and forbidden to teach because of concerns about his writings, which the Vatican thought misunderstood the nature of Christ. Rev. Roy Bourgeois, of the Maryknoll order, has been threatened with excommunication because he participated in a ceremony at which women were ordained to the priesthood. Indeed, the similarities between Bourgeois' case and that of the Lefebvrists are uncanny: Both set themselves up in judgment over the magisterial authority of the pope and council; both are implicated in illicit and invalid ordination ceremonies.
Progressive Catholics are accustomed to being called "cafeteria Catholics" because of the perception that they pick and choose among Catholic teachings, accepting some while ignoring others. But here it is the progressives who are claiming foul and the right wing that is charged with its own bizarre brand of cafeteria Catholicism. Some wish to deny the church's ban on ordaining women; others wish to deny Vatican II's teachings on separation of church and state.
When the Vatican moves against a renegade theologian, it is easy enough to acknowledge that the church has a right to decide who does and does not speak in its name. No pastor can be indifferent to the possibility of his flock being led astray. But it will be curious to see if the Lefebvrists will reconcile themselves to Vatican II and how much wiggle room the Vatican will allow them in interpreting the documents of that council. The smart money says they will end up biting the papal hand that has just tried to feed them, and Benedict will regret his decision. After all, they are crazy, and crazy people can draw outsiders into their world of mirrors, leaving onlookers to figure out who is sane and who is not. If Benedict wants to make some room for the crazies on the right, I just hope he will give similar latitude to those on the left. We all may be cafeteria Catholics in one way or another. | OSCAR-2019 |

0 | example_79431 | The Rising - Mission Walkthrough Guide - Age of Empires II: Age of Kings | HubPages
This walkthrough guide covers the mission "The Rising" which is the fourth out of six that make up the Joan of Arc campaign in the video game Age of Empires II: Age of Kings. This guide was created for the Hard difficulty, using the Age of Empires II: HD edition of the game.
In The Rising, you're given a small force to start out with, needing to traverse part of the southern half of the map to reach a town in it's early makings. From there, you'll need to build up a defense to hold your side of the map while gunning for the 3 enemy AI's Town Centers, the destruction of which will force them to leave the area. For the most part this is a straightforward econ, tech, attack type mission with the one catch that you simply have to remove the three town centers as opposed to devastating the enemy forces to make them resign.
Take your initial group of forces and start moving them directly west as soon as possible. Try to unocver a good visual of the water path and where it meets the land on your side so you can come back later with a villager to wall it off. Stay along the road and you'll soon encounter the one and only group of enemies on your way, which also happens to be the entirety of the red British Guard forces. Clear them out and continue on your way, making sure to stay on the road. Going too far north or south will have you running into some enemy watch towers placed above and below the roads, guarding some small deposits of gold and stone. These can be dealt with easily later on.
Once you reach the allied town and it transfers to your control, get your villagers harvesting food from the bushes right away so you can quickly build more villagers to ramp up your econ. The next most important resource, at least initially is stone, then wood then gold, so build up harvesters on those spots in that order for the most part.
Scout out the land above your town and you'll find the left water crossing, which you should use a villager to wall off immediately, essentially keeping the enemy from entering the bottom half of the map, which will so be your half entirely. Take a couple additional villagers and move them to the right with a defending unit or two to build a wall on your side of the right crossing.
Walling off your half of the map is important for a few reasons, first of course to stop attacks before they get to your base. Second, the water crossings make great choke-points for more effective defense when you start placing castles. Finally, Orange has a nasty habit of building expansions right outside your base if not walled off, which can lead to a painful mission experience as your slowly overwhelmed by a constant stream of units being produced right outside your town.
Objective: Destroy the town centers of Rheims, Troyes and Chalon.
Chalon (the green AI) is really easy to take out after you've walled and castled yourself in (at least one castle on each side). Get a barracks up and produce a couple man-at-arms, taking some of your remaining soldiers from the beginning of the mission if you still have any of them. With about 6 of these units total, create about 7-8 petards from your nearby castle. Make sure to send a scout to their base, just north of your own, if you haven't uncovered their town center yet.
Group your man-at-arms and petards into separate control groups with the melee units up front making a meat shield for the petards as they run straight for the enemy town center. Only 5-6 of them need to make contact, less if you have the siege weapon upgrade at your university, but having a couple extra makes sure you fell the building in one try. Avoid attacking anything with your man-at-arms but enemy military units that would otherwise be going for the petards as striking villagers or nearby buildings can cause a garrison which may shoot up your soldiers or bring in reinforcements from nearby before you start blowing up the town center.
Once green loses their town center, all their military buildings self destruct, including the watch towers on your side of the map, followed by their soldiers and finally their villagers before the AI resigns.
Aggravating yellow too much, may attract additional trebuchets or longbowmen, making your coming battle with Troyes more difficult, so play it cool when you're about ready to attack Orange. Heavy cavalry archers are one of the best options you have against longbowmen, Knights against trebuchets, as the speed of both allow them to compensate for both of the enemy units' extreme ranges.
The second route is via the right river crossing, breaking through the wall that guards Troyes to avoid having to potentially pass through yellow's army if they happen to be out in the area surrounding their base in force. You can do this with an even larger petard group and shield, as your bound to lose more from the castle, not to mention needing a nice handful to break a hole in the wall itself. Optionally, you can choose to go with a group of soldiers backed up by a few trebuchet, which can bombard the wall, castle and town center from long range without having to suffer return fire from the castle. Trebuchets are best done with the river crossing route as taking the land route from where Chalon used to exist, exposes the siege weapons to flanking maneuvers as they draw the enemy's attention.
The final challenge that stands in your way to victory here, is Rheims (yellow) and their heavily fortified town. It is surrounded by walls, defended by a pair of castles and littered with watch towers. This already is quite the challenge, but to make it worse is their constantly replenishing army of onagers, trebuchet and longbowmen.
Your options are to establish a strong army of ranged and melee cavalry backed up with trebuchets for an extended siege battle, or several groups of petards with meat shields yet again. Either option you go for will probably be most effective if you can circle the castles. Approaching from the direction of Chalon as close to the map edge as possible, can lead you right to the town center behind some walls, but not before encountering an array of watch towers, while the Troyes side has you dealing with the castles more than the watch towers. | https://hubpages.com/games-hobbies/The-Rising-Mission-Walkthrough-Guide-Age-of-Empires-II-Age-of-Kings | 2018/12/16 20:04:28 | mC4 |

Posted by Susan (Sara) Avitzour at 6:17 AM 4 comments:
We are now celebrating the middle day of the seven-day festival of Succot (the Feast of Tabernacles). During this holiday, we eat and, where possible, sleep in a temporary dwelling (succah) made of wood, cloth, or (in the modern age) plastic, with a roof consisting only of palm leaves, woven bamboo mats or other material derived from the plant world. We do this in order to remind ourselves – to reenact, in a way – the existence of the Children of Israel during the Exodus from Egypt and their forty years' wandering in the desert: vulnerable, insecure, and dependent only on God.
Paradoxically, perhaps, Succot was also defined by our Sages as our "time of happiness," the holiday during when we are enjoined to rejoice. (Our own wooden succah is located the parking lot, six floors down from our apartment. We've seen it destroyed one year by a car and blown away another year by a storm, and we've had neighbors play "pranks" on us such as throwing bottles filled with water onto the succah's roof. There is a running argument in our family as to whether we should be envious of people who build their succah on an open balcony of their apartment or in a garden adjoining their home, because they can enjoy the holiday that much more easily, or feel superior because in our vulnerablility we are really, truly fulfilling the spirit of the commandment.)
One of the ways we add to the holiday's joy is through hospitality – inviting guests, called by their Aramaic name ushpizin, into the succah to share a meal with us. According to Jewish tradition, we welcome more than our friends and family into our temporary home. It is said that on each day of the holiday, the spirit of one of our forefathers comes to visit. On the first night we welcome Abraham, on the second we receive Isaac, and on the third, Jacob – followed in turn by Joseph, Moses, Aaron and finally by King David. Our family marks this by singing a special song welcoming each visitor from the ancient past to our holiday meal. It's really a children's song, but we love singing it even though our children are now adults (or almost adults) – it's one of our little family rituals, which makes us feel close to one another by reminding us of all the years we've been singing together, in the succah and everywhere else.
On the first (and most important) night of the holiday, when we had just finished our song of welcome, Shari surprised us by saying with a smile, "Maybe tomorrow Timmi will come and be our guest in the succah. It will be her birthday, after all." I carefully watched for the other children's reactions. Not so long ago, they would most likely have looked down at their plates and not said anything. During the first years of our mourning, some might even have left the table in order to cry in the privacy of their rooms. But when I looked at Aimee, she too was smiling. "Maybe we should ask Angela" – a friend who sometimes sees the spirits of those who have left this world (see "Healing," August 2004) – she said, half-laughingly.
I think that at that moment all of us at the table felt bound to each other in a mixture of contradictory feelings – a warm happiness at our memories of Timmi, a deep sadness that she will never again sing with us, and an intense yearning for the possibility that, in honor of her birthday, she might actually make this Succot "our time of joy" by joining the Patriarch Isaac the next evening as one of the ushpizin at our table.

A quick and optimistic update for the New Year - one of Timmi's doctors called this morning and said that because at least some of her discomfort may be due to GVH, they would like to try a new anti-GVH drug that may ease her symptoms but will not totally suppress the GVH (and thus risk a fast and strong relapse of the cancer). It is given one dose at a time, and after each dose her condition is evaluated after a week or two, in order to see whether she should be given more. This measured response to GVH is indeed something new, as up to now every time she has had GVH the medications she has received have totally suppressed it - the last time, causing the terrible relapse she had this summer. If, however, there is a way that she won't have to choose between being miserable with GVH or getting her cancer back, that would be wonderful news indeed.
Of course, we don't know even whether Timmi is in fact suffering from GVH, and if she is whether the new medication will help. But this is the first time in several weeks that we have heard of something which has a chance of helping her feel better. So I wanted to share it with you all.
Shana Tova* again,
Well, the "new" medication that the doctor told me last Friday that they want to try turned out not to be so new after all. The plan now is to give her a light dose of a certain kind of chemotherapy (which she has had before) once a week, in the hope that it may help with the GVH, if that is what she is suffering from, or if her problem is some kind of a relapse then it may help with that as well (it could be, of course, that Timmi is suffering from both). In addition, she is now getting a very low dose of steroids, hopefully enough to help her feel a bit better but not enough for nasty side effects.
Tuesday she got the chemo, as well as some plasma, which apparently made her feel somewhat better temporarily, as she was awake and participating in family life for a few hours that afternoon. Other than that, however, the week has been mostly a dud, with Timmi spending all day in bed (sleeping most of the time) on Monday, Wednesday and most of yesterday. When she was awake those days, she felt awful, with a perpetual headache, pain in her stomach and the soles of her feet, nausea and vomiting and such weakness that she had the strength to do nothing.
Yesterday I spoke with Nathan Cherney about the pain and at his suggestion we added a "pain patch" of Fentanil (a kind of narcotic). He will also speak with Professor Cividalli about what more may be done for her.
Today, the steroids seem to have kicked in. She was up early and has been up since, tried (unsuccessfully) to eat, watched a video, read and has been generally awake and mentally if not physically active. The downside of the steroids is that she hardly slept last night. Also, the extra Fentanil seems to be working, as she has been having significantly less pain so far today.
We hope that her renewed strength will last, and that the sleeping problem will be solved. Also, of course, that the steroids, however low the dose she is getting, will not suppress any GVH that she may have and that may be holding the cancer at bay.
Shabbat Shalom and G'mar Hatima Tova.**
There isn't really anything new to report. We had up days and down days, down days being those during which Timmi slept most of the time and felt quite bad when awake, and up days being those during which she had the strength to stay awake and read, watch videos, knit etc., despite not feeling very well physically. Her mood, when awake, has been pretty good, considering. Also, she is now sometimes able to eat a small amount and keep it down.
The doctors have no explanation for her symptoms, which now include pain in some not-very-encouraging places (various bones). The final results of the biopsy that was done on her stomach lining showed no evidence of GVH or anything else specific. Because her liver function improved somewhat after the treatment she received last week, after Succot we will re-check her blood clotting function in order to see whether that has also improved, and sufficiently to enable a liver biopsy to be performed. In the meantime, we are hoping that what we are seeing is not some kind of relapse, but rather some kind of GVH or other effects of the transplant.
One nice thing is that on Saturday evening we and Lisa are hoping to take her to a performance by the mime Hanoch Rosen, for her 18th birthday, the Hebrew day of which falls just then (and Sunday). We really hope she will be up to it, and will enjoy herself and be able to stay to the end.
I wish all of us a year that will change direction radically from the way in which it has started, and bring peace, prosperity and good health to all of you who are reading this, as well as to all of those of us who live in this troubled land.
Shabbat Shalom and Hag Sameach,***
* Shana Tova – Happy Jewish New Year.
** G'mar Hatima Tova – A greeting given before Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), meaning more or less "May you be inscribed in the Book of Life" during the coming year.
*** Hag Sameach – Happy Holiday.
Readers who have been following this blog know that in each post I try to find and develop a theme common to what I was experiencing five years ago and where I am today. But for the last two weeks I've been reading and rereading the updates to my community around this time in 2004, and haven't been able to find a single thread connecting my life then and my life now. So what can I write about? I asked myself. Then I realized that the very fact that things are so different today than they were then is very big news indeed. Now, at the time of year at which Jews are called upon to return to the spiritual path that God has set out for us, I realize that although my spiritual journey is still far from its end, through God's grace I am well on my way to returning both to the work I was meant to do in the world, and to a part of my inner self from which I was separated when Timmi died.
Last Thursday, we observed the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the most important day of fasting and prayer in the Jewish calendar, as it is the day on which we may receive forgiveness from God for our sins of the previous year (see "Forgiveness," September 2004). In order to be forgiven, Jews are enjoined to engage in the process of teshuva. While this Hebrew word is often translated as "repentance," its literal meaning is "return;" that is, Judaism calls on us to come back to God and to His path. To me, this means that we human beings start our lives in a state of innocence; that our innermost core was created in a state of natural grace. Transgression of God's commandments distances us from our true selves, which continue to long for our original condition of closeness with our Creator. Teshuva offers us the opportunity to bring our souls back into harmony with the Divine will, wherever we are before starting the process. This is an intensely optimistic concept – we always possess the capacity to change.
I remember how, when I first began to observe the Jewish commandments and many years afterward, my sense of nearness to God after Yom Kippur was almost physical. It was one of the most pure and beautiful feelings I have ever experienced, as if I were filled with a radiant but gentle light. That feeling sustained me throughout the year, and sometimes – during prayer, when I visited a place of great natural beauty, or occasionally even just while walking here in Jerusalem – I could actually sense that God was near. This feeling (knowledge?) gave me courage and strength with which to face a very challenging life.
But then my daughter was taken – and with her my ability to feel the small spark of Divine presence with which I had been blessed at special times before then. Since then, I've had to take Yom Kippur on faith alone. The day is still powerfully significant to me because I know, at least in my mind, that through its observance I may return to God's path. But so far a sense of God's presence has not returned to my heart. And I'm not sure it will ever again return; my ability to sense God near me may be just one more loss for me to process.
What God has given me, though, is the courage and the strength for two different kinds of return. One is related to my active, outer self – I've begun to beat a path back toward a life that I lost during the last stages of Timmi's illness; indeed, to return to full life after living for a long time in a state of suspension after she died. The other relates to my inner self – I'm well on my way to regaining a capacity for happiness that I was afraid had disappeared forever.
When I look back at my updates of five years ago, I am amazed at how my entire life then revolved around caring for Timmi (and trying to give whatever attention I could to my other children). Is she in pain today? If so, where does it hurt, and does it hurt more or less than it did yesterday? Did she eat today? If so, did she keep it down? Does she have the strength to do anything at all? If so, what kind of activity can we find that might cheer her up? And is there anything we can do together with her as well as with at least some of her siblings? Does she show signs of GVH? Of a return of the cancer? My universe, which had once included a full professional life, social life and family life, had shrunk to the dimensions of a blood test report, a light soup that Timmi's stomach might be able to tolerate, a video that's amusing enough to be diverting but doesn't demand too much concentration.
After Timmi died, my world contracted even further, to include practically nothing but my own grief and that of my family. I sometimes made forays into the "real" world – I joined a book club, did an occasional translation, met friends for lunch – but when I was alone with myself, almost everything outside our family's bereavement seemed meaningless. When I was with other people, a thick wall separated me from them, a wall so massive that I could practically see it. It was as if I were no longer really living – and it seemed as if the nightmare would go on forever, that I'd never really return to the land of the living. And in that state of suspension, anything beyond a moment or two of happiness at any one time seemed permanently beyond my grasp.
But when I look at my life now, I see that I am on my way back after all. I'm moving in the direction of a meaningful work life, in which I'll be able to help other families get through their own nightmare of a child's terrible illness. The wall between me and the rest of humanity, while it still exists, has now been breached in many places by the love of friends who care about me; when I was in New York for my MSW studies this summer, I was even able to renew old relationships and to make new close friendships. And my family has been freed from the frozen depression that sometimes dominated the atmosphere at home following Timmi's death – my children can now speak freely of their sister, her illness, and her death without needing to run and lock themselves in their rooms at the very mention of her name. Her memory is no longer a shadow hovering over us, but rather a presence that we will always carry with us, a source of tears but also of warm memories and laughter. Like the teshuva of the Jewish religious concept, this kind of worldly teshuva is a return to the way we were meant to be when we were created: we were put on this earth to be active agents in bettering it ("repairing the world," in the Hebrew expression). We were meant to work, to participate in human society and to raise children who may carry on our work after us. I am, thank God, well on my way back to all of these.
And this return to a fuller life in the world has brought about an inner return for me as well. By nature, I have always been quite an optimistic person, believing in the possibility of happiness even when it eluded me at any particular time. Timmi's death was a severe blow to my optimism; how could happiness ever be possible again after losing her, when every day I am reminded of that loss by her absence? But amazingly – miraculously, perhaps – I've found that as I've been able to make my way back to an active and meaningful work, social and family life, my connection with the inner core of optimism and capacity for happiness with which I was created has also been restored to me.
Through the process of teshuva, God gives me the opportunity every year to wipe my spiritual slate clean and return to a state of natural grace. I don't know if my spiritual teshuva will ever be strong or complete enough to enable me to go back to the kind of naïve and innocent sense of God's presence that I had before Timmi's cancer irrevocably changed my life and the lives of all my family. But I do know that God has granted me a different but no less precious gift – an ability to change what I do with my time in this world. Even if I'll never be able to return to the life I led in those days of innocence before I lost my daughter, then God has at least inscribed me in the Book of a true, meaningful, and even potentially happy existence during my lifetime – even after that crushing loss. | http://fiveyearslater.blogspot.com/2005/ | 2019/05/20 22:45:14 | mC4 |

1 | example_40311 | Ex-servicemen seek sponsors for charity motorcycle trip - Tyrepress
You are here: Home1 / News2 / UK News3 / Ex-servicemen seek sponsors for charity motorcycle trip
Two former servicemen who are undertaking a 15,000-mile charity motorcycle trip through 26 European capital cities have called for aid from sponsors in their endeavour. Harry Glover and Pete Bray, of 4/73 Special OP Battery and 22 SAS, are looking for sponsors to provide them with motorcycles for the journey.
Such a high-profile road trip would create a great platform for a motorcycle company that would be generous enough to provide transport for the two fundraisers. Code-named 'Triumph over Tragedy', the duo will travel to all 26 European Union capital cities in an effort to raise funds and awareness for their chosen charities. Starting at Buckingham Palace, the two will travel as far North as Helsinki, as far East as Bucharest and as far South as Athens. The bikes will be returned at the end of the trip, having been a part of a once-in-a-lifetime event.
The pair will be motorcycling in aid of three charities that are very close to their hearts: British Limbless Ex-Service Men's Association (BLESMA) and Soldiers off the Streets work tirelessly to provide better lives for soldiers who return from active service, offering food, shelter and support to those who need it. The two will also be riding in aid of the Alder Hey Children's Charity, a cause that both riders are huge fans of.
Harry Glover said, "These charities make an immeasurable difference to the lives of servicemen and women who have given so much. "We are looking for sponsors to help in any way they can, from providing bikes to providing food, to help change countless lives."
With just a few weeks to go until the start of the trip, Harry and Pete are looking for sponsors to help provide food, fuel and equipment for the journey.
Events are planned in every city with the help of each country's veteran organisations, and many bikers will be joining the riders along the way to help raise the profile of the expedition. This gives sponsors the chance to take advantage of an opportunity for continental exposure, as well as supporting a fantastic cause.
Anyone interested in sponsoring Harry and Pete on their trip should contact Chris Barnes on 07834 643977 and email [email protected] | https://www.tyrepress.com/2014/07/ex-servicemen-seek-sponsors-for-charity-motorcycle-trip/ | 2021/10/21 21:42:16 | mC4 |

Crown Golf Membership – Love Golf, This February …
With romance in the air this month, it got us thinking about all the reasons there are to love golf this February and our Crown Golf Membership ….
Now call us biased, but there is just so much about this wonderful sport to be enjoyed, it seems impossible to narrow it down to a few key reasons.
We've done our best though, and come up with five, fact-based (see, we can be impartial) reasons people get into golf, and stay in golf!
Crown Golf Membership – Love Golf – 1…
It varies (No game is the same!) – If you're an avid Golfer, you've probably heard it more times than you can count, that same old question 'Don't you get bored playing the same course all the time'?
Simply put, the answer is 'no'! That's because, even though the course may be the same, the conditions on the day, the people you play with and your own particular golf will be completely different.
No game is the same. Not only that but if you do like a change of scenery, there are https://www.thesocialgolfer.com/ViewOffers.aspx?type=tsgpartnerclubsbeautiful golf courses at your disposal all around the country. Plus, a golf course is certainly more beautiful than a football pitch!
Crown Golf Membership – 2…
It's steeped in tradition – Yep, in a world now full of contactless payments and self-driving cars, a round of golf is almost like taking a short time-out from the hustle and bustle.
Not only that, it's a sport which requires certain etiquettes and respect, helping it teach us good manners and patience towards one another. There is something delightfully old-fashioned about this, which is another reason we love golf, it's a sport that requires a certain etiquette

Srixon and Prostate Cancer raise £42,999…
Many brands talk about helping people but very refreshing to hear that Srixon and Prostate Cancer have worked to together in 2017 to raise an impressive £42,999…
Srixon and Prostate Cancer working together…
The sizeable donation comes on the back of another successful year for the brand in the UK, as demand for its 5th generation, Z-STAR / Z-STAR XVgolf ball continues to grow.
Brand ambassador, Graeme McDowell joined Srixon Europe's Tour Manager, Iain Steele to pose for the cameras with a cheque showcasing the impressive final donation during a recent European Tour event.
The Ryder Cup star and former U.S. Open champion personally played a key part in the multi-platform promotional campaign that spiked media exposure and drove sales.
The ground-breaking partnership saw Srixon donate £1.50 for every dozen Z-STAR and Z-STAR XV golf balls sold at trade to Prostate Cancer UK, helping to raise funds as well as awareness of the life-threatening male-specific disease.
To enhance awareness of the campaign and give its loyal customers more value, Srixon introduced a limited edition 15 ball 'Z-STAR/ Z-STAR XV Bonus Pack'.
This included an additional free sleeve of the new Z-STAR / Z-STAR XV, decorated with the iconic Prostate Cancer UK logo.
Srixon and Prostate Cancer – What they said…
Commenting on behalf of Srixon Sports Europe, the company's UK & Ireland President, Leslie Hepsworth said, "2017 has been a fantastic year for the Srixon brand in the UK market and we are really proud that we have been able to raise such a significant amount of money, that we know will be put to great use in fighting such a devastating disease."
"The partnership delivered on all levels and provided the perfect complement to the launch of the latest iteration of Srixon'sperformance-packed Z-STAR / Z-STAR XV golf ball," he added.
IMPORTANT FACT – One man dies every hour from prostate cancer!
Astark statistic, given that the average length of a round of golf is five hours. The charity's aim is simple: to stop men dying from prostate cancer. This will be done by shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention and support.

The Majors Part 4 – The PGA Championship…
In the fourth in our series of articles on golf's Major events, this time we turn our attention to the second oldest event in the golfing diary – The PGA Championship!
The Majors – The PGA Championship…
In 1894, two golf events were held in the USA.
The national championships for amateur golfers, held at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island with another at St. Andrew's Golf Club in New York.
In addition, and at the same time as the amateur event, St. Andrew's conducted an Open championship for professional golfers.
Later in that year, this led to the formation of the United States Golf Association (USGA), which became the first formal golf organisation in the country. After the formation of the USGA, golf quickly became a popular sport across the country.
After the formation of the USGA, golf quickly became a popular sport across the country.
In February 1916 the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) was established in New York City.
The organisation's first president was Robert White, one of Wykagyl's best-known golf professionals.
The first PGA Championship was held in October 1916 at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York.
The winner, Jim Barnes, received $500 and a diamond-studded gold medal donated by department store owner Rodman Wanamaker.
Originally played in MatchPlay Format but was changed to a Strokeplay event in 1958.
Moving to the present day, the 2016 winner, Jimmy Walker received $1.8 million and was presented with the now famous Wanamaker Trophy.
The benefit of winning The PGA Championship means you are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship) for the next five years.
They are also exempt from qualifying for The PGA Championship for life.
In addition, the winner receives membership on the PGA and European Tours for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship (Played in May) for five years.
However, as the Pro golf calendar gets more and more congested, there is now talk of this event moving to May, with the Players Championship moving back to March to make way.
The idea here is that this leaves more room for the FedEx Cup and more space between this and The Ryder Cup at the end of Sept.
The Majors – Player Qualifications for The PGA Championship 2017…
There are different routes that players can take to qualify for The PGA Championship – Qualification routes as of 2010:
– All former PGA Champions
– Winners of the last five US Opens
– Winners of the last five US Masters
– Winners of the last five OPEN Championships
– The last Senior PGA Champion
– The low 15 scorers and ties in the previous PGA Championship
– The 20 low scorers in the last PGA Professional National Championship
– The 70 leaders in official money standings on the PGA Tour.
– Members of the most recent United States and European Ryder Cup Teams
– Winners of tournaments co-sponsored or approved by the PGA Tour since the previous PGA Championship
The Majors – The PGA Championship 2017…
The 58th PGA Championship will take place at Quail Hollow on the East Coast in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The course was originally designed by famed golf course architect George Cobb in 1961 to capture the beauty as well as the challenging terrain of the Piedmont region.
It is considered by some to be one of the finest courses in the southeastern United States.
In the intervening years, the course has undergone a series of improvements, including modifications to several holes by Arnold Palmer in 1986, and a redesign by Tom Fazio in 1997.
The signature hole at Quail Hollow is the par four, 14th is a dog-leg left that can be driven with a good tee shot.
It measures 346 yards from the championship tees.
A 15-acre lake frames the left side of the hole and the rough on that side slopes down to the water.
The narrow landing area measures about 27 yards across and is guarded with two bunkers on each side.
The two-tiered green is long and narrow with about 7,100 square feet of putting surface.
Two more bunkers guard the left front and middle of the green, and a collection area waits just off the right front of the green for short approach shots hit offline or almost perfect drives.
The area immediately left of the green slopes severely down to the lake, so shots hit left have a very good chance of ending up in the hazard.
This Major event tends to throw up some unexpected winners with only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy being double winners in the last 20 years, so predicting who may be this year's winner is no less difficult.
With 156 golfers in the mix, it's its anybody's guess.
Some information on key players at the 2017 US Open is listed below….
He was the first Swedish major champion winning the 2016 Open Championship at Royal Troon with a record score of 264.
A two-time European Tour Golfer of the Year he has spent 250+ weeks ranked in the OWGR top ten.
In 2013, Stenson won the U.S. PGA Tour's FedEx Cup and the European Tour's Race to Dubai in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Stenson won the silver medal…. so he's no pushover!
Dustin Johnson is currently still standing at No.1 in the World Rankings, so cannot be dismissed.
OK, so not a great showing at the recent US OPEN, missing the cut but somethings tells us that Johnson is going anywhere anytime soon.
He won the Asian Amateur Championship in 2010 and 2011.
He is a four-time PGA Tour winner and an eight-time Japan Golf Tour winner.
On 19 June 2017, Matsuyama became the world No. 2-ranked player on the Official World Golf Ranking after his runner-up finish at the 2017 U.S. Open.
This English golfer is still learning his craft. Hailing from North London has made many friends on tour in the last 12 months and whilst he only has one win on the European Tour, which came at the 2016 Open de España, this could be his kind of course.
Known affectionately as 'Beef' since his youth, he has carried the nickname into his professional career and is very popular with the US galleries.
But of course, any player could win the Wanamaker trophy!
The Majors – Betting at The PGA Championship…
Having a flutter on Major golfing events is now commonplace for golf lovers and armchair sports fans.
Many Betting firms have developed their product offering, making it very simple and quick to lay a wager.
With websites, apps and multiple bets options now available, billions of £'s and $'s are spent each year on adding another dimension to the sport.
Of course, the odds on this event will swing massively between now and tee-off but here are some of the latest betting odds (26/7/17)…
There are rank outsiders too and in the past, we have sometimes chosen outsiders using an Each-Way bet. This year, these include Danny Willet 80/1, Matthew Fitzpatrick 100/1, Ross Fisher 150/1 and John Daly 500/1
So as 7th August approaches, keep an eye on the odds as they change. However, please bet responsibly.
We will definitely be enjoying this year's event for the comfort of an armchair!

Mayo is victor at The Social Golfer Par 3 Championship…
Golfers from all over the South East of England gathered at the Kent-based club Pedham Place on 10th June 2017, all hoping to be this year's The Social Golfer Par 3 Championship winning golfer.
Meanwhile, the event celebrated a new format, making for an exciting finish….
The Social Golfer Par 3 Championship – The Day…
TheSocialGolfer.com (TSG), the online social networking community for golfers celebrated its 3rdth annual TSG Par 3 Championship at Pedham Place Golf Club in Kent with East London-based member Pete Mayo lifting the trophy!
The Social Golfer Par 3 Championship – The Format…
The event is normally played over the 36 holes on the Pedham Academy Course.
However, this year, instead of the standard stableford points determining the result, this year the TSG team created a new format whereby the event was played over 27 holes, with the top six points scorers going through to a 18th hole shoot-out!
The six qualifiers made it an exciting competition, with Brigitte Lockwood (Twickenham), Noirin Fitzgerald (Shepperton), Jaspal Ranoo (Woolwich), Noel Loughrey (Berkshire), Steve Slater (Essex) and Pete all making gallant efforts to win through.
Each shoot-out competitor was given two balls in a Nearest Pin competition with Mayo, Ranoo and Slater all making it to the Final.
Slater fell at the first play-off hole but after the second play-off hole, Mayo held his nerve to win over Ranoo.
The field ranging from 10 handicappers to 28 and the course (one of the best Par 3 in the South of England) proved to make for a hugely enjoyable contest.
The Social Golfer Par 3 Championship – What they said…
Pete Mayo, Newly Crowned Champion said…
"A big thanks to Ian and Mark (TSG Team) for organising the day and to everybody else for making it such a great event. I thoroughly approve of the format (I would say that wouldn't I)."
"On a serious note, TSG is by far the easiest way to play relaxed golf, with a good bunch of people. I have played lots of different courses since joining and you can track my progress and handicap online. I am looking forward to defending my title in 2018!"
Speaking after the event Ian Mullins, Managing Director of The Social Golfer said…
"It was a huge risk by changing the format of the day but it proved to not only add tension to the day but also gave the finalists a sense of what it might really be like to play in a real competitive event."
"Let's face it most golf days end with the reading out of the winners but the new format added additional spice to the day. Many thanks to Pedham Place and Tim Milford and his team for once again looking after us so well!"

Previous postAffiliate Promotion Success Is Possible! These Tips Will Show You How
Web Marketing Will Get You Ahead In This WorldNext post
August 23, 2016 @ 9:57 pm
You can profit greatly from a successful internet marketing venture, if you focus your energy, develop a plan that works and stick with it. Learn all that you can to earn those major profits. This article contains helpful tips to jump start your endeavors in online marketing.
Do not allow yourself or your partners in internet marketing to take advantage of that fact. This may just cause irritation to your site visitor. You could possibly spread viruses or break the customer tracking chains.
Selling a very popular product may actually mar your status as an affiliate. Popularity is not always equivalent to quality, and the later is more important. You can expect fierce competition if you decide to get involved with highly sought after items. Sometimes, you just will not make money in this situation.
A hot tip for those new to internet marketing promotions is to locate an affilaite company that keeps releasing new products. Go with a solid reputable company and one that is constantly coming out with many new products, this way you you can get repeat business. Fad products tend to work well for only a short period of time. Therefore, they are not good for a stable income.
In order to succeed with affiliate promotion, you should consider taking advantage of paid advertising, such as Google Ads. Purchased advertisements can more easily target potential customers by using their previous keyword searches to drive them to your site.
You can generate more business for your online company by joining online marketing programs. These programs generate high levels of traffic. When looking at affiliate programs, pay attention to things like the directory's popularity, ease of use and the payment you will receive for referrals.
Banner ads that include teasers such as a riddle or question can increase traffic to your website where you provide the answer. A lot of people are trivia buffs and cannot resist. Give discounts to whichever site visitors get the question correct.
Move away from pop-up ads to pop-under ads. Many popular browsers block pop-up ads, so viewers will never get the chance to even see them. If you do use pop-up advertising on your site, you should use advertisements that have a background loading option, as they generate a more positive response than traditional pop-ups.
In order to own be an internet marketing success, you need to be like an open book to potential customers. If you are not completely honest and upfront with your readers, they will not support you. Not being honest about your marketing efforts with your readers can make them see you as greedy and underhanded, and cause them to make an effort to avoid earning you money.
Credibility and a professional appearance are important for your online marketing business. Presenting links should be subtle. If you have credibility, customers will see you as an individual rather than "just another affiliate marketer."
Keep down the amount of banners that you have on your site. Not only are you going to diminish the quality and looks of the site, but you will scare people off and come off too pushy and unprofessional. Make sure you pay attention both to the spacing of banners as well as the amount that you have on your site.
A good way to be successful at online marketing is to join an affiliate network. These networks are important for introducing site owners to good advertisers. A webmaster who values his business reputation will only work a with reputable network. One of those goals, is to have a good reputation.
Pay-per-sale marketing comes with potential risks for affiliate marketing. It can lead to great returns if it is effective though. Before deciding to go with this type of marketing plan, you should take time to see if this particular affiliate is good for your website. | https://deepak-kulkarni.com/2016/improve-your-skills-as-an-affiliate-promotion-agent | 2019/08/21 13:54:09 | mC4 |

MIAMI (AP) -- The attorney investigating the Miami Dolphins bullying case says his report will likely be issued late next week or early the following week. | http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/report-dolphins-scandal-least-week-192611684--nfl.html | 2014/03/08 10:07:37 | mC4 |
3 | example_76563 | How can service providers identify who among the very poor and precariously housed would actually become homeless without an infusion of financial aid?
Sullivan argues prevention becomes more cost-effective when targeted to the lowest income recipients.
Maura McCauley, who directs homeless prevention policy for Chicago’s Department of Family and Support Services, said the call center’s screening process helps the city identify people who actually stand to benefit from one-time financial assistance.
Clients need to have a qualifying financial crisis, like job loss or a medical emergency. And they must show that they can become self-sufficient after receiving financial aid.
“You have to demonstrate that the crisis can be resolved,” McCauley said. “Our work to really target the resources in the right way at the right time is so critical.”
Beefing up prevention would not solve all of California’s problems. Nearly 130,000 people across the state are already homeless, past the point of being helped through prevention.
And experts say one-time financial aid probably isn’t the right approach for people at risk of homelessness due to severe mental health or addiction issues.
Prevention may not work for everyone. But back in Chicago, social worker Katie Tapert Mercado said for her clients, a month or two of rent relief is often all it takes to avert a spell of homelessness.
Chicago prevention funding recipient Cedric Moore said if he didn’t get help covering his back rent, he and his daughters may have ended up in a taxpayer-funded shelter.
Thanks dear Corrie, much appreciated my friend. I haven’t heard anything about the winners of Bootcamp … I seem to be having a lot of problems with receiving emails. I do check my junk folder just in case. Who knows, maybe something will show up! ;D
I did a large travel challenge last year featuring Acapulco, Mex. but this is another photo from the original trip in 2008. I just love that beach; we’d hang out there all day with beach boys waiting on us hand and foot. I added the pelican photo-bomb! The frame reminds me of a camera lens. The “linoleum” background can be the foam on the waves or the snow at home here now! The font is Mama plus two beachy embellishments.
Well, this should come as very little surprise. For as long as FOX decided to revive the '24' franchise with upcoming limited series '24: Live Another Day,' we never expected Kiefer Sutherland to prove the only franchise veteran reprising his role. Thankfully, Jack's phone will once again be buzzing with the sounds of Mary Lynn Rajskub's voice, returning in her analyst role as Chloe O’Brian.
“I am thrilled to be working with Howard [Gordon] and the writers again — and, of course, Kiefer,” said Rajskub in a statement announcing the character's return. “There’s a lot more room to grow in my character ... I’m going to start sharpening my computer skills right now.” The actress first joined '24' in 2003, clocking in (heh) the series’ second-most amount of episodes of any actor appearing in all eight seasons, after Kiefer himself.
Rajskbu joins the broadly returning '24' team of writer/producers Howard Gordon ('Homeland'), Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Robert Cochran, Brian Grazer, Jon Cassar and Kiefer Sutherland. Few details are known of ’24: Live Another Day,’ other than its 12-episode structure that will pick up the pace from its namesake format sometime in spring of next year.
Well, what say you? Does '24: Live Another Day' have you even more excited for the franchise return, now that Chloe will be behind the desk once more? What franchise stars would you want to see return to their roles? | http://www.clubprepaye.fr/a514-steel/f64eac11f2704.html | 2021-03-03T04:55:38Z | OSCAR-2109 |

Carter and words
Jimmy Carter's book Palestine:Peace not Apartheid gets support from the usual places, but a number of well-considered critics find serious shortcomings about it at best. Dershowitz and the ADL pretty much denounce it as an error-filled polemic.
Carter won't debate the book with Dershowitz, whom he apparently considers profoundly ignorant on the subject. He's also met with a number of Jewish leaders to assure them that never mind what he writes, he really has nothing against Jews or even Israel's existence, for that matter. One quote:
Well, he [Dershowitz] has to go to the first word in the title, which is "Palestine," not Israel. He should go to the second word in the title, which is "peace." And then the last two words [are] "not apartheid." I never have alleged in the book or otherwise that Israel, as a nation, was guilty of apartheid. But there is a clear distinction between the policies within the nation of Israel and within the occupied territories that Israel controls and the oppression of the Palestinians by Israeli forces in the occupied territories is horrendous. And it's not something that has been acknowledged or even discussed in this country.
Carter has gone to some great lengths, after the book was published, to make it clear that the term "apartheid" is used in a very limited sense, namely that Israel's policy amounts to stealing land that rightly belongs to Palestinians, or at least fall within the borders of a future Palestinian state.
But who in the world would ever choose a title that required so much parsing to understand? It's like a comedian having to explain why his joke is funny. It's pathetic.

Sanctity of life and dignity of death
I for one was surprised that the Supreme Court - by 6 to 3 - upheld the Oregon "assisted suicide law." I don't know if it's mostly a victory for the "death with dignity" crowd or the "states' rights" crowd, and I suppose time will tell when the issue reappears before the court in a more refined way. In the meantime, those who were against the Oregon law invoked various "sanctity of life" arguments in protest against the (presumably) "activist" court. In a seemingly unrelated matter, the prison authorities who were responsible for executing Clarence Ray Allen announced that they had every intention of resucitating Allen should he be dying of a heart attack before the execution. They said they wanted to "uphold the sanctity of life" before killing the guy.
Sanctity of life. I have to say, I believe in it. I am not sure I would have voted for the Oregon law, though I have to admit I would not judge anyone who avails himself or herself of it to "hasten" their inevitable death.

Hitchens hates Sharon because he has nothing better to do
Anyone who wants to understand why so many Jews worry about antisemitic tendencies from the left need only read a more or less random collection of rants from Christopher Hitchens, the latest one his premature obituary over Arik Sharon.
I hold no candle for Sharon, and he's a man that in spite of many accomplishments is very difficult to like. He's managed to build way more enemies and adversaries in his lifetime, and every shining moment has been accompanied by a dark spot.
But I am learning to despite Christopher Hitchens, who makes me want to mount a vigorous defense of Sharon and everything he's done. For example, Hitchens writes:

Karl Rove's genes and parentage
So I get this email from a Norwegian domain:
Karl Rove has nothing to do with Norway...It was his adoptive father who had some Norwegian ancestry. KRs mother was, reportedly, Jewish. I do not know what his father was. Norwegians take pride in being honest. Please stop labelling KR Norwegian.
This is presumably in reference to this article. Now let's parse what this reader is trying to say.
Apparently, he's upset by the fact that Karl Rove's Norwegian roots aren't genetic; it was his adoptive father's grandfather who immigrated from Norway. Rove consistently refers to himself as "Norwegian," meaning "Norwegian-American." His justification presumably is his cultural, not his genetic heritage.
As well it should be. Does the writer actually believe that Norwegian genes conveys upon their carrier a greater sense of honesty than other genes? | https://vyer.typepad.com/hereticsalmanac/political_rhetoric/ | 2022/05/20 22:46:53 | mC4 |
2 | example_58903 | At the same time, a relatively uninterrupted movement of the robot must be ensured for maximum efficiency. Thus, the scientists work on a novel solution for the safety of people based on compact high-resolution radar systems that surveil the collaboration space, calculate dynamic safety zones and situationally adjust the speed and movement of the robots.
By these means a robot is able to adjust its own movement according to human actions without interrupting its task, and therefore, guarantees a safe and efficient collaboration. »Such a radar safety system can utilize the maximum possible movement speed at minimal distance. This leads to a faster, and thus more efficient, collaboration between humans and robots«, sums up Christian Zech, project manager of »RoKoRa«.
The steel industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors. Thermoprocessing plants and industrial furnaces consume almost 40 % of the overall industrial energy demand. In order to remain internationally competitive, the steel industry needs to increase the efficiency of existing production plants and substantially lower the energy consumption.
For this purpose, a multi-disciplinary consortium including Fraunhofer IAF develops a radar-based measuring technology for hot rolling mills: This radar sensor technology not only allows for a resilient high-resolution detection of distances and positions of flat steel, but also for precise and contact-free measurements of lengths and speeds.
»Rough conditions dominate hot rolling mills – extremely high temperatures, dust, high humidity and steam complicate the use of optical measuring systems. High-resolution radar sensors control precise band and process sizes and thus ensure a reduction of defective goods, which corresponds to increased profit. This saves resources and energy«, explains Benjamin Baumann, project manager of »Rad-Energy« on the part of Fraunhofer IAF. | https://www.archbalt.org/catholic-relief-services-commits-100000-for-earthquake/ | 2021-03-01T22:12:05Z | OSCAR-2109 |
2 | example_57281 | Voice and data communications provider Entanet is launching a new portfolio of unified broadband products to simplify options for its reseller partners and customers and take advantage of recent investment in the development of its national network.
The new offerings replace its existing ADSL and ADSL2+ product sets and will be available from 30 March 2009. Customers will be offered the same terms and conditions regardless of whether they choose an underlying rate adaptive ADSL or ADSL2+ connection. Alternatively, for a small additional amount more per month, they can select a fixed rate ADSL connection in a choice of 512Kbps, 1Mbps or 2Mbps speeds.
Entanet’s Head of Marketing, Darren Farnden, says that the changes will make it much easier for customers to understand their options and for resellers to promote and sell Entanet’s broadband services. “Entanet has always aimed to provide a consistent set of options and now that our extended network is fully operational, our partners can offer greater stability at potentially faster speeds of up to 24Mbps, depending on the line quality. More importantly, this means that they can offer ADSL2+ at no extra cost. Our simplified pricing structure will enable them to do this without presenting the customer with a complex array of choices – they can simply select the service that meets their bandwidth requirements and matches their budget.”
In July 2008, Entanet became the only non-BT company to launch ADSL2+ packages on BT21CN, having extended its UK network to utilise the Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC) platform. Through this latest development, the company has made its broadband offering easier to understand and order. Where an exchange has been ‘WBC-enabled’, customers are able to buy ADSL2+ broadband, which delivers greater stability at potentially faster speeds of up to 24Mbps (depending on the quality of their line). Similarly, Entanet currently remains the only provider to be using the IPStream Connect product to deliver IPStream traffic over BT21CN backhaul, another factor that contributed to the rollout of the new products.
Farnden points out that, over the past few months a number of new ADSL2+ offerings have been made available in the UK. This has created a bewildering array of options for the customer. Entanet’s unified pricing model is designed to make choices simpler for both businesses and consumers.
The company’s new portfolio also clearly distinguishes between the needs of business and residential users with specific package options. The new ‘Business’ packages meet key requirements such as traffic prioritisation during the working week, monthly allowance options ranging from 15GB to 180GB and the hours these allowances are used appropriate to business users. The new ‘Family’ packages meanwhile are available in six-monthly allowance options ranging from 1GB to 120GB.
Significantly, Entanet has retained its policy of making the weekend period uncharged. “Feedback from end users and our partners strongly suggested we maintain this key product feature” says Farnden.
Customers will also benefit from a simplified payment process for excess bandwidth usage, helping them to control their monthly spend. They will be able to choose to pay for additional bandwidth on a pre-pay basis through the purchase of top-ups or on a post-pay per 1GB basis with a set upper limit. Unlike the former packages, no administration fee for over-usage will apply and bandwidth is only charged for during specified allowance times. Outside these times bandwidth usage is uncharged.
New customers will be able to purchase the new packages from 30th March 2009 when the existing packages will be officially withdrawn from sale. Existing Entanet customers will be moved to their choice of new package from their next billing period start date after 30th March 2009. | OSCAR-2019 |

1 | example_68992 | New emergency hospital units to be built in Grimsby and Scunthorpe
March 15, 2022 9.29 am
New acute assessment units approved for Grimsby and Scunthorpe hospitals
New multi-million-pound acute assessment units will be built in Grimsby and Scunthorpe hospitals in plans to transform emergency care.
The units will aim to ensure that people can be diagnosed and receive the correct help quickly.
Patients will be less likely to be admitted unnecessarily, and should be able to be discharged quicker.
Some £24.9 million in funding has been provided by the Department of Health.
The units will be built in the hospitals' existing emergency departments, and will also house the Same Day Emergency Care services.
Construction will begin once the new emergency departments are finished.
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust says they will make a big difference to the area's patients.
Dr Anwer Qureshi, Divisional Medical Director of Medicine, said: "We have already made significant progress on constructing the new emergency departments, which will be used to provide care to you if you are seriously injured or ill.
"These facilities will also be hosting our urgent care services where you will be managed by our skilled practitioners for an urgent but non-life threatening injury or illness.
Mike Simpson, Programme Director and Associate Director of Strategic Development, said: "These plans have been almost three years in the making and I am delighted that they have now been given the final seal of approval.
The frontline hospital team is also excited about the development.
"The new department will bring new recruitment opportunities as we are now offering an attractive place to work, with investment in staff development and training," they said.
"The new department will also provide a great learning environment for student nurses, doctors and newly qualified nurses, developing and retaining workforce for the future." | https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2022/03/new-emergency-hospital-units-to-be-built-in-grimsby-and-scunthorpe/ | 2022/05/27 06:37:28 | mC4 |

Ysance Integrates with Gigya to Amplify the Scope of Customer Data
Ysance, the creator of the Digital Data Factory, a first-party DMP (Data Management Platform) that specializes in managing digital information, continues to build its network of partners by announcing a new technology integration with Gigya, the global leader in Customer Identity Management. The partnership will allow joint clients to create incredibly robust and actionable customer profiles, enabling intelligent and hyper-targeted marketing.
For more than 10 years, Ysance has been helping all kinds of businesses accelerate digital transformation. Confronted with the inability of existing DMP technologies to provide a 360-degree view of customer behavior, both online and offline, the company designed Digital Data Factory, a first-party client data management platform distributed in a SaaS model. Natively open-source, the system is capable of integrating with disruptive solutions like Gigya's customer identity management platform, creating incredible added value for businesses.
Gigya's platform, which includes products such as Registration-as-a-Service (RaaS), Social Login and Profile Management, helps global enterprises increase registrations and identify customers across devices, consolidate data into rich customer profiles and provide better services, products and experiences by integrating data into marketing and service applications through the IDX Marketplace.
The permission-based, first-party identity data collected using Gigya's technology, combined with Digital Data Factory's wealth of online and offline CRM information, allows users of Ysance's DMP to develop a remarkably clear picture of their respective customer bases, not only in terms of their interactions with various media channels, but also their social profile data, all while respecting consumer privacy.
"By authenticating their identities using existing social media profiles, consumers consciously agree to share information about themselves with brands. In exchange, consumers have a legitimate expectation that such data will be respected, and that brands will offer them service and marketing that is perfectly aligned with their individual needs, tastes, locations and interests," said Romain Chaumais, co-founder of Ysance. "This is a win-win relationship based on transparency and trust that we are ensuring for our clients by integrating Gigya's reliable and well-established technology with our DMP."
"Digital identity and the collection of accurate customer data are becoming increasingly paramount, said Patrick McCue, Gigya's SVP of Global Channels & Alliances. "We're excited to be integrating our platform with Ysance's Digital Data Factory DMP, and look forward to seeing how global brands will take advantage of the powerful integration." | https://www.gigya.com/blog/ysance-integrates-with-gigya-to-amplify-the-scope-of-customer-data/ | 2019/01/22 10:09:10 | mC4 |

Heme iron is absorbed better than non-heme iron, so it is best to eat non-heme iron with heme iron to increase absorption. To increase the potassium in your diet, try to eat at least 2 high and 2 medium potassium fruits along with 1 medium potassium vegetable each day (see attached food lists). Eat or drink the foods listed in Group I (green) as often as you like while following an eating plan to stay at a good body weight. The United States Department of Agriculture, which put out the guidelines, says you should take these new recommendations to heart -- literally.
Unfortunately, using the salt shaker less is not enough to get you down to the new recommended levels. While that doesn't seem like much salt (at least compared to the fast food fries people dip in ketchup), a few tablespoons each week can add up.
A few months ago, the fast food restaurant chain Wendy's introduced new "natural" fries with sea salt. Of course, the easiest way to reduce your salt intake is to eat less food, which is in keeping with the spirit of the new guidelines.

Bigg Boss Season 5 Finalists: Pros and Cons of finalists Amar, Juhi, Mehak, Siddharth, Sky. The DASH diet, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension is currently recommended by the American Heart Association. A 2008 study in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that among 88,517 women who were followed for 24 years, the DASH diet was associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke in middle age.
In virtually every realm of human existence, we turn to technology to help us solve our problems. If the most-influential voices in our food culture today get their way, we will achieve a genuine food revolution.
I've previously commented on the absurdity of disallowing the corporate food industry to involve themselves in combating obesity, and on how food technology is actually much more fantastic than it is evil. Jacqs on Birds, bees, and fennel ice cream: Evil, mouth watering stuff, but thank you for a delightful read. A single dish is all you need for our collection of one-pot meals that are far from one-note.
But even in Silicon Valley, when it comes to food and obesity, technology—or at least food-processing technology—is widely treated as if it is the problem.
That is because we eat processed foods, like frozen dinners, fast foods, boxed noodle rice dishes, canned soups, and canned vegetables. When reading food labels, low sodium is defined as 140mg of sodium per serving, 400mg or more is high. Potassium-rich foods may be needed if you are taking certain medications such as some types of diuretics (water pills), or if you have a medical condition that is causing you to need extra potassium. In fact, a medium order of the new fries has 150mg more sodium than their previous version. News and World Report added diets to its suite of rankings and the panel has named the DASH diet the best overall diet of 2012.
And too bad it would largely exclude the obese masses, who would continue to sicken and die early.
Even a "healthy" brand like Newman's Own Lighten Up Caesar Dressing has 420 mg for a two-tablespoon serving. The rankings were chosen based on information from sources such as government reports and scientific journals. The first two are both expensive, heavy on calories, and take several minutes (one of them up to ten) to make.
Despite the best efforts of a small army of wholesome-food heroes, there is no reasonable scenario under which these foods could become cheap and plentiful enough to serve as the core diet for most of the obese population—even in the unlikely case that your typical junk-food eater would be willing and able to break lifelong habits to embrace kale and yellow beets. The DASH may also help lower cholesterol, as it's big on whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins.
And many of the dishes glorified by the wholesome-food movement are, in any case, as caloric and obesogenic as anything served in a Burger King. Although fruits and vegetable tend to contain the most potassium, listed below are other examples of foods that contain large amounts of potassium.

Abhinav Bindra congratulates Tokyo-bound athletes for "exceptional" feat amid the pandemic
India's solely particular person Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra on Friday lauded the Tokyo-bound athletes for exhibiting nice willpower and reaching the "exceptional" feat of qualifying for the Summer Games in the face of the COVID-19 adversity.
Bindra, the nation's biggest Olympian, posted a heartfelt message, congratulating all Indian athletes who've certified for the Tokyo Games, beginning July 23.
"Many congratulations to each one of you for having defeated every challenge that dared stand in your way and securing qualification for the Tokyo Olympics 2021," Bindra wrote.
"For every athlete, the journey to the Games takes years of rigorous training and is full of hardships and setbacks, it takes immense dedication and resilience to reach where you are now, where only a few special women and men from our nation have gone," he added.
So far, 100 athletes have certified for the Tokyo Games, together with 56 males and 44 girls.
"Your rare feat is all the more exceptional considering how the ongoing pandemic would have forced you to change your respective training plans in order to prepare for these Olympic Games," Bindra mentioned.
"However, you persevered through these uncertain times by sheer will and determination, to emerge as true champions; as Olympians."
The 38-year-old, who created historical past by successful the nation's first and solely particular person Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Games, hoped the athletes can be "able to highlight the power of sport to bring people together in these difficult times."
"The thrill of competing at the greatest sporting event in the world and being recognized as the best sports persons in your country remains unprecedented. I am sure you will be itching to light up Tokyo with your unrelenting resolve and skills," Bindra mentioned.
"I want to offer you all my good wishes and support. As an Olympian, you will forever have the opportunity to be an ambassador of the spirit of Olympism and promote friendship respect and excellence wherever you go and whatever you do."
The former world champion in 10m air rifle additionally supplied his help to any athlete who needs to talk to him.
"I'm pleased with you and need you all the absolute best as you embark in your quest of bringing extra Olympic glory to India.
"If you require any assistance or even if you just want to discuss my experiences at the Games, I am here always available…" he added.

Posted on November 9, 2016 November 17, 2016 by Heather Allen
After voting for the first woman presidential candidate in the November 8, 2016 presidential election I indulged in comfort food. For breakfast, I had a toasted bagel with cream cheese and a caramel apple spice cider from Starbucks. For lunch, my co-workers and I ordered Taco Bell through PostMates, since Taco Bell is not regularly available in my location. We were desperate for food we do not eat often, in search of something to fill our stomachs that would equal hope and happiness. For dinner, I had dessert. Shake Shack was giving away a scoop of custard. Then I went to my friend's house and bought snacks and liquor from local stores, then ordered cheese pierogies and blueberry blintzes from Seamless. Indulging on junk food and alcohol to get me through the news analysts. I waited for the results. My heart rate rose. My hands shook. I was awake watching an NBC livestream until 2:30am hoping that somehow Hillary could pull through.
During the day, I was continually hopeful. How wonderful it would it be to have a woman shatter such an impenetrable glass ceiling. How wonderful would it be to know our country was for progress and inclusivity. How wonderful that love trumps hate.
Two words came to mind when I awoke the next day to the results that Donald Trump was the president-elect for the United States.
gə(r)-tər-ˈde-mə-ˌru̇ŋ, -ˈda-\
a collapse (as of a society or regime) marked by catastrophic violence and disorder; broadly:downfall<the Götterdämmerung of Communism>
These words encompass, for me, the fears I have after seeing this election unfold. A man has risen to executive power. He will have a Republican majority congress and select conservative justices in the supreme court. My fears manifest in the idea that Trump will do everything in his power to take rights away from citizens and elect himself to a higher position of power that allows him to lead for longer than four years. I see a version of America that is like Nazi Germany and I see Trumps rise to power parallel Hitlers in astonishingly similar ways.
I am a straight white woman, my life will not change too drastically because of the election, though I imagine sexism and misogyny will become an obstacle–what about the millions of marginalized people Trump has been threatening since day one of his campaign? I can all but guarantee life will be much harder for people of color, LGBT+, Muslim, immigrants, people with disabilities, or any other group Trump and his supporters deemed less than. I cannot stand idly by while hate overruns this country. I cannot standby while my friends and people I admire are fearful to walk out the door.
Yesterday, I ate comfort food and watched the election results unfold. Today, I am sick to my stomach with the thought that people will be hurt (and are hurting) because of this election. This is not a normal election. Trump has gone out of his way to assure that. I'm disappointed in all the people I know who voted for him –in protest? good conscious? I can't imagine the hate and bigotry a Trump voter holds.
I'm sick with anxious, nervous energy.
I will not blindly accept the results. I will fight back. I will help those I can. I will not despair. Trump is not my president and I cannot accept him as such. | https://heather-allen.com/2016/11/09/demagogue/ | 2022/05/25 09:29:42 | mC4 |

Just as the trees lining our grand city streets begin to change from grassy greens to shades of yellow, red and brown, our chefs are similarly embracing the transitioning season with a wonderful new menu reflective of the autumnal changes.
From exploring food lovers looking for the best bite in town to ladies who lunch seeking a chic dining experience in the city's Paris end, our new menu will excite the most discerning of diners.
Corporates seeking refuge from the new season's chill will enjoy our Antipasti selection, perfect for a quick bite yet hearty enough to sustain those who love the generosity of Italian cuisine. Try our House-made rosemary, sea salt and parmesan focaccia teamed with baccala crochette, mushroom arancini and marinated olives or our San Daniele prosciutto with buffalo mozzarella, freshly shucked oysters and red wine mignonette.
Those seeking the specialities of the season can experience the tastes of autumn with Primi, ranging from Open raviolo of wild mushroom and rabbit ragu to Beef carpaccio with goats cheese curd and poached wild figs. The flavours of our Crispy grilled quail wrapped in pancetta and our Calamari fritti with salsa verde are familiar flavours sure to become favourites that perfectly prepare the taste buds for devouring Secondi.
Wild barramundi fillet with fennel puree, poached bug tail, carrot and fennel salad evoke the warm colour palette of autumn trees while Slow cooked rabbit saddle with baby beetroot, gnocchi Romana and peppercorn sauce hint to the cooler stews of a Winter ahead.
In the evenings, couples who hunt for an Italian meal that's as full of flavour as those that childhood memories are made of, enjoy our generous plate of Western Plains pork scotch fillet with seasonal chestnut puree and mushroom ragu, our popular Veal cotoletta with green apple and savoy cabbage salad or Corn fed duck two ways with potato and pumpkin terrine paired with rhubarb chutney.
Balmy nights may be behind us but their warmth isn't far away. Our new menu celebrates all that it is to embrace a new season and share its seasonal produce on a plate that warms the soul. | http://cecconis.com/heart-new-season-reflected-warm-autumn-menu/ | 2018/10/19 09:35:55 | mC4 |

Always make a backup of your registry before changing anything. That way any mistake you make can be rectified.

School Bus Crashes Into Home In Jamaica, Queens; 6 Injured
Filed Under:Cedar Manor, Jamaica, Queens, School Bus Crash
School Bus (file / credit: clipart.com)
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A woman is in the hospital following a school bus crash in Queens on Thursday afternoon.
A four-door Nissan Altima apparently ran a red light and hit the bus, sending it over a curb and into the woman, before smashing through a brick fence and into the side of a home, 1010 WINS' Al Jones reports.
LISTEN: 1010 WINS' Al Jones reports http://cbsnewyork.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/school-bus-crash-al-jones-reports.mp3
"I was standing in front of my house, and I heard, like, bang, and there was like a crash," one neighbor said.
"Indescribable, it was really bad. The car hit the bus and the bus ran through and hit the wall and she didn't lose her legs but her legs are pretty broken up," one witness said.
The accident happened at the corner of Liverpool Street and Glassboro Avenue in the Cedar Manor section of the borough.
The injured woman and the driver of the car were taken to Jamaica Hospital. The woman was said to have serious leg injuries. Six people in total were injured in the crash, with two kids on the bus avoiding serious injury.
The children were evaluated at the scene.
"They need to put a four-way stop sign there, or a stop light," said Aberton Green, who put the fence up to ward off car accidents.
"Too much accidents happen over here, so we really need a four-way stop sign," another neighbor agreed. | http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/01/12/woman-injured-after-school-bus-crashes-into-home-in-jamaica-queens/ | 2018/06/18 00:20:46 | mC4 |

No, but you can get the hell out of here," he responded. The door slammed shut and he heard a slap and a muffled cry. He pounded on the door and it flew open. "Now I asked nicely, I never ask nicely twice," said Stan in a stern voice. The man looked back into the room and smiled at someone. Then he looked back at Stan. His face changed when he saw the glowing orange eyes staring at him. He shook his head as the man appeared to be getting bigger in front of him. All at once, the old man shoved him into the room and he slammed into the wall shattering the sheetrock. In a sweeping motion a second man went down and Stan stood over him. There was another voice. "Stop where you are or they die!" it yelled. Stan turned to see two other men, each holding a knife at the neck of a child. Diego was bleeding from a cut over his eye and Yoaan had a split lip. The two men were dragging the boys towards the back door. As soon as his hand twisted the knob and started to push the door Stan leaned back and howled. The four wolves came rushing through the door behind the men. They were joined by Guapo and remained crouched as though they were waiting for an order. The men were startled by the snarling dogs and the boys broke loose and ran across the room behind Stan. "Understand this amigos, I am not the one who will die in this situation," he snarled. One of the wolves barked. "Patience Yahira, all in good time, "he responded. The two men looked nervous as they dropped the knives when he asked them to. "What the hell are you? A werewolf?" asked one man.

Morning Glory and Ginger
2 Easy Projects for Your Garden or Patio
When it's Spring, we all seem to have LOADS of extra energy, hope and imagination and want to get surrounded by color as fast as possible, right? Well, for years, I have gotten the Most, from a tiny investment with these two fun ideas. Do them with your kids or grandkids and you'll teach them about the Wonders of gardening and they will want to do it again and again.
Surprisingly, you don't have to go to a garden center for everything. Often, there are plenty of roots in your markets produce section and seed packet stands, to choose from.
Every year, I pick up packets of all of the colors of annual Morning Glory seeds. They are very affordable and with a high success rate, you will get more coverage than you can imagine!
Pick up Morning Glory seed packets at your market or box store.
So, here's the fun part. Get some water, warm to the touch, and pour the whole packet into the water. If I'm doing more than one pack at a time, I will set the empty packet under the container, just to remind me what color the seeds represent.
Drop your seeds in some warm water.
This process softens the seeds. It makes the seeds swell and crack. It allows the little plant to come out of the hard seed shell. Some people scarify or nick their seeds to accomplish the same thing. Soaking is Much easier ; )
Twenty four hours will do it. If you go over twenty four hours, it's not the end of the world, but don't leave them Forever. I've done that…eeek! If you are doing this with a child, it's fun to let them soak a little Longer. They will get to see the little green plant start to sprout out of the seed. A garden will teach you almost everything that you need to know, in Life ; )
At this point, and after your last frost, you can take the seeds outside, and plant them. I literally just scratch the soils surface, drop the seeds in and cover them up. They only need to be just under the surface, keep them watered and before you know it, they will be coming up and climbing up anything that they can! You don't have to have a special arch. Place them at the bottom of a rose or shrub. They will twine around and up, looking for light. Watch for their Heart Shaped leaves on the vine. Next year, in the same spot, you will see the Heart Shaped leaves and decide which ones you want to keep. Don't be afraid to pull up the seedlings, if you don't like where they have sprouted.
I've had pill bugs eat the fresh green growth before. Watch your seeds, and use a little organic bait if you have a problem.
Hint…I like to only use about 1/3rd of each packet per location. You would be surprised how much coverage you will get from only a few seeds. A whole packet in one place is REALLY a lot of vines. I've grown that many between porch posts before and you will literally need to tie them up, from the weight.
Just sit back and wait on the most delicate trumpet shaped flowers. I promise you'll do it, forever!
Next, the Ginger…
Again, in the produce section of your market, you will find Ginger rhizomes.
Also at your market, pick up some rhizomes of ginger.
I usually break up the rhizomes and leave them on my countertop for a while, to let the juicy breaks callous over a bit. I don't think that this is necessary, it's just a habit that I have plus, it makes more smaller bits to plant.
This is what a growth bud looks like.
If you leave them inside long enough, they will actually break bud, just like a potato will in your pantry. Again, for teaching purposes, you might Want this to happen for your kiddos to learn about the process. Let's face it, ALL of our kids are being Home Schooled, if we are doing our jobs right ; )
Growing Ginger is a BREEZE…
If you live in a warm climate, simply dig a hole of nice rich soil 4-5″ deep, and plop them in. If you live in a colder climate, you might instead, plant them in a pot with holes for drainage, and either bury it in your garden or place them in pots, on your patio. Take advantage of planting them on the South side of your home, next to a brick or rock wall. The wall will make a little protective eco climate, that might raise the temp by a few degrees, making it just warm enough to coax out the sought after flowers! Make sure that you mulch over them with last years leaves. That will also provide some extra warming insulation.
They ARE a tropical plant, so they enjoy a little shade (especially if you live where it's very bright), humidity and some wind protection.
Mine are planted in dappled oak shade, in an irrigated zone.
Your first leaves will come up as the soil begins to warm. Over time, the clump of rhizomes will grow and you can dig them up, dry them and spread them around your garden. Just like asparagus, give them a couple of years before you start harvesting them for culinary use. Your first flowers will arrive in 2 years. If you plan it right, you'll place them near where you sit. In the evenings, the incredible Ginger Fragrance will FILL your space many yards away. In my South Central Texas evening garden, the butterfly moths dance around the white flowers doing their important work of pollination! You will enjoy All aspects, of growing Ginger.
If you NEVER get a flower, you will still enjoy the strappy, vibrant green stalks and leaves that will get to be 3-4′ tall.
Our Ginger lives next to a warm rock wall, near our patio chairs.
Now, if you get REALLY fancy, you will place a few opportunistic climbing Morning Glory seeds, Next to your Ginger stalks and you will create a match extraordinaire!
Gardening is ALL about experimenting.
If you Fail…and you Wont, you've only spent a few dollars and a few minutes. But if you Succeed…you will look like the Brilliant Gardener, that we all know YOU ARE 🙂
Have fun with this and let me know how it goes for you!
Best to you…Laura aka Hastypearl

0 | example_61748 | 'Creativerse' Review (2017) - Minecraft Killer? – Screen Critics
The world of gaming can be very fickle. The community will happily get behind a genre for a while but too much of a good thing and the wheel turns. The one genre which never seems to want to die though is the open world sandbox. The biggest release to date was the epic Minecraft, a game which will always be the one by which all these types of game are judged by. Lego recently tried to recapture the magic with mixed results, so can a free to play game become the new top dog. I have been hands on with Playful Corporation's newest sandbox game Creativerse.
Creativerse does show a lot of potential, the graphics are cartoonish but lovely and while the worlds can't do much with blocks to add the general ambience, Playful Corporation have done their best to make the backgrounds look exciting.
The blocks themselves have a rich texture, while the amount of different build opportunities do allow for a chance to create exciting worlds. Creativerse has an adventure mode which includes games such as Climb the Beanstalk and Piggy Pinball, giving us just a taste of where the game can potentially go once the community really gets there hands on it.
Creativerse is a free to play game but does have a pro options which gives the player more control over how they wish to set their world up. A further payment for different styles of bricks can add to a players overall experience if they wish to embellish their world with more decoration. The different styles of blocks really makes this game unique, while the typical grass, stone and wood are still there, it's how far beyond these block types they go with the likes of dead grass or bees-wax. These multiple block types will allow players to create amazing structures.
The items which can constructed are also impressive, building a processor allows you to make slopes from blocks or even stairs from grass blocks which will look awesome in my forest home. Having to upgrade my mining tool to collect higher end loot doesn't feel forced and it is a very natural system to upgrade all equipment. Also having the ability to build a Washer so I can clean my pets is just brilliant.
The enemies aren't too hard during the day and at night can be easily avoided as long as you don't put yourself somewhere restrictive. The map is big enough that you can get friends on with you to start building your dream city.
In my opinion if they continue to develop this game then we finally have a game which can not just compete but overtake Minecraft. Creativerse also has the benefit of seeing what hasn't worked so well in other games and avoid those mistakes. Minecraft has been around a long time and has evolved since release, Creativerse already has the groundwork there, a solid game which has the ability to create worlds and mini games for the whole community to enjoy.
A fun game for the whole family which you will spend hours creating works of art to show off to the world. | https://www.screencritics.net/creativerse-review/ | 2017/12/13 20:51:43 | mC4 |

Any tool used while cooking to cut or slice vegetables, fruit and meat is called a kitchen knife. Kitchen knives use depends on the situation. These knives are made of various materials, including carbon steel, high-carbon steel, stainless steel, lamination, ceramic and plastic. Kitchen knives use is always a question of sharpness and material.
Kitchen knives sets come with different knives, including a chef's knife, bread knife, offset serrated knife, paring knife, utility knife, steak knife, slicing knife, cleaver knife, boning knife, ham slicer, peeling knife, decorating knife, soft cheese knife, hard cheese knife, tomato knife, oyster knife, shears, carving fork and a cutting board. These knives are often stored in a wooden box with their accessories. Kitchen knives use is not restricted to the kitchen only during cooking, however; these knives can fulfill a variety of roles.
Chef's knives are the most common knives in kitchens.
These knives have curved blades and can rock back and forth on the cutting board, allowing for a better cut. Chef's knives are all-purpose knives and are used for doing tasks such as chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing. Most chef's knives are large for better results. Kitchen knives use is recommended only for skilled people; these knives are sharp and dangerous, and can be harmful in the hands of inexperienced people. A chef can use a knife for any number of chores during the preparation of a meal.
Kitchen knives use is often described in the name of the knives.
For example, bread knives are used for cutting bread. They are serrated knives and are usually around eight inches in length. Offset serrated kitchen knives use is similar to the use of bread knives; these knives are often grouped with bread knives since the differences are minimal. These knives are easy to handle and are popular with chefs, although the typical home kitchen may not house one.
Paring knives are small knives and are useful for peeling and other small jobs. These knives have plain-edge blades and are designed as all-purpose knives, similar to chef's knives; however, paring kitchen knives use is restricted to small tasks. Utility knives are medium in size and are designed for cutting. These knives may have a plain-edge blade or a serrated blade. Utility knives have gained a lot of popularity in recent years.
Tomato knives are small knives ideal for cutting through the soft flesh of tomatoes and the tougher skin of other fruit and vegetables. Oyster knives are short, thick-bladed knives ideal for separating the meat of oysters from their shells. And as the name suggests, cheese knives are ideal for slicing cheese. These are the common knives found in the average kitchen; of course, kitchen knives use is dependent on the cook, and the professional cook will have a much larger arsenal than a homemaker. More often than not, these knives are purchased in cutlery sets, complete with a wet stone knife sharpening kit.
The Japanese have a unique style of crafting knives. Japanese kitchen knives are sharper and are made of carbon steel, giving them an extra shine. For European kitchen knives, Sabatier knives, from France, are some of the best. But the Japanese and French, like other groups of cooks or chefs, must choose their knives wisely and compared kitchen knives before purchasing; kitchen knives use is dictated solely by the task at hand. | https://chefshuffle.com/kitchen-knives-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder/ | 2022/05/24 06:45:01 | mC4 |
1 | example_49541 | mebership levels don't always work consistently
I'm afraid I am becoming very frustrated with the membership plug in and I am ready to go purchase something else.
The levels do not function consistently. I have all of the BuddyPress pages in the negative category for my Stranger level and it works just fine. Strangers cannot access any of the BuddyPress pages.
I have set the Trial level up exactly the same way for BuddyPress pages, I have all of them in the negative category and all pages checked. BUT, when I sign in as a Trial member all of the BuddyPress pages are blocked EXCEPT the members page.
How can this be? They are set up exactly the same. I have refreshed everything and double checked that both the Trial and the Stranger levels are the same for the BuddyPress pages, yet one works and one doesn't. I can uncheck other BuddyPress pages in the Trial level and they will show or not show as they should, but the members page always shows even if I check it in the negative category.
Is this because I am signed in as a Trial 'member' and the program sees me as if I should have access to the members page? Just trying to brainstorm here as to what the problem is.
I have a 3 day free Trial membership on my website and I do not want Trial members to see the membership page.
Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:33:12
I'm sorry you're having trouble with the plugin. Just to be sure we're on the same page, are you using the following beta version of the plugin?
Also, would you please verify that your membership levels are activated and that the subscription levels are both activated and made public? Also, would you please verify that your members don't have multiple membership levels added to them?
I'll see if I can get the developers' input as well but hopefully we can get this sorted with some simple trial and error.
Yes, I am using the new beta version of membership. I have double checked, and yes all membership levels are activated. I have verified that none of my members have multiple membership levels. Also, the subscription levels are activated and public.
I am more than happy to e-mail you my user name and password if you would like to look at all of my settings. Mason just did that and solved a problem with the membership plugin that had a conflict with the automessage plugin.
I really do appreciate all the help I get here. Thanks so much.

For many small business managers, finding the time and commitment to develop business marketing strategies is difficult. There are so many other obligations vying for our attention it is tempting to push formal strategy development to the back burner. Giving into that temptation, however, means putting your business at a disadvantage. Marketing strategies help point you toward the best marketing programs for your business.
Without strategies, you risk becoming unfocused in your marketing efforts, choosing programs that do not support general strategies. To be most effective, your marketing strategies should be integrated into your marketing plan (which in turn should be part of the business plan). By integrating strategies into your overall company plans, you can better achieve business objectives. Additionally, over time this will result in more consistent decision-making throughout the organization.
Integrating Marketing Strategies into the Marketing Plan A marketing plan is similar in structure to a business plan, but with a narrower focus. Marketing plans include overall objectives; marketing strategies; and marketing programs, each progressively narrower in scope.
The objective addresses the big picture and sets the tone for your strategies. In general terms, your marketing plan objective answers the question “How will I overcome my main marketing challenge(s)?” If your company is a new Web-based business, for example, a main challenge may be figuring out how to use your Web site to better build client business. An objective, therefore, may be “To enhance online client service as well as build site awareness and interest with clients.”
Marketing strategies support your objective. The strategies define general approaches you will take to meet your objective. For example, marketing strategies to support the above objective could include 1) improving online communication, information, and education, 2) building awareness of and interest in your company on the Internet, and 3) communicating the Web site’s existence and advantages to existing clients.
Programs are the things you will do to bring your marketing strategies to life. Programs for strategy 2 in the above example (improving online communication, information, and education) could include 1) sharing experience and observations in your industry through participation in discussion boards, 2) offering an email newsletter, and 3) listing/submitting your site to targeted search engines and directories.
By keeping your business marketing strategies in mind as you initially choose marketing programs, then making adjustments throughout the year based on those strategies, you build a better foundation from which your business can grow. | OSCAR-2019 |

The Buffet is Undefeated

MODOK has unleashed a virus on a cruise ship to test its effects on the crew and passengers, some of whom turn into murderous maniacs as they set about chasing those unaffected. The X-Men soon arrive on scene to take control of the situation. They split up to manage different parts of the assignment. Wolverine and Synch are on board the cruise liner and try to avoid the infected passengers and crew, while AIM operatives attempt to take them down. During the fights, Wolverine tells Synch that she has a question about their time in the Vault, and asks him how long it took for her to warm to him. Synch explains that it took two hundred years, and Wolverine tells him that she admires patience in a partner. Synch thinks back to the Hellfire Gala, where he expressed that he only really wanted to join the X-Men because of Wolverine, before he and Wolverine come across MODOK gorging himself at the buffet. Outside, Captain Krakoa, Polaris and Jean Grey have been rounding up survivors who jumped ship, before MODOK blasts Wolverine off the ship. Synch goes after her, then Captain Krakoa arrives and attacks MODOK. He is then patched into MODOK's mind, where he finds MODOK living a strange life with his even stranger family. MODOK is defeated and the crew and passengers are saved. Later, back at the X-Men's Treehouse, civilians bring gifts for the fallen Cyclops, while Synch reveals to Cyclops that it was he who used Jean's powers to erase Ben Urich's information about mutant resurrection – and that he regrets his decision, because he took Ben's notebook, and in it, he discovered that Ben wasn't going to write a negative story about mutants, because he thought they were miracles. Synch announces he is probably going to quit the X-Men, but Cyclops tells him that he only leaves when Captain Krakoa tells him he can.
'Commence recording' the scientist called MODOK calls out as he holds a small petri dish of cells up to his face. He looks at the cells closely and notes that this is the inspection of the control growths of "Project Army". 'Hello, darlings. You've never looked this good. It's a shame I have to give you away... but it's time for you to move to a bigger petri dish' he remarks as several of the genes mutate into x-genes. MODOK states that "Project Army" is short for the amygdala, the part of the brain that regulates the fight or flight response, as any registered and licensed user of that biological software could testify. 'How I've mastered this area of the brain will remain a proprietary secret... but I'm willing to cut you in. for a very fair introductory price'.
A large cruise liner floats on a calm ocean – calm except for the bodies littered in the water around the cruise liner. Black smoke rises up from the ship, and on board, crew members and passengers alike can be seen fighting. One of the crew, a chef, waves two large knives overhead as he chases a woman, while several AIM scientists record the chaos on cameras, and others hold large weapons. Suddenly, a black submarine rises up, breaking the surface of the water. A hatch opens and the monstrous MODOK emerges, his enormous head hovering above the submarine as psychic energy glows around him. 'Cruise ships have been a favorite way for me to quietly experiment with new bugs, but this test will be quite overt' he remarks to himself. 'Refer to my prospectus for all the comprehensive data. All the best, MODOK!' he concludes his recording, as he flies over to the cruise ship, announcing that AIM thanks everyone on this cursed tub for donating their lives for science. A woman with red eyes rushes towards MODOK, but his puny feet kick her in the head, knocking her back.
The X-Men's jet soars through the cloudy skies towards the under siege cruise liner. 'Really? MODOK yelled "for science"?' Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops asks, unimpressed, before he asks 'What's our source?' Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine reports that somebody was livestreaming aboard the ship before the comms went down. The hatch on the X-Men's jet opens and Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris hangs from the hatch, looking down at the cruise liner, while Jean Grey telepathically informs the X-Men that they have two emergencies – the people in the water and the people on the boat. 'No. Three emergencies – there's a cloaked ship up there' Polaris exclaims, pointing up to the clouds. 'They can hide from my eyes...but not from my power' Polaris utters. Jean Grey joins her friend and looks up to the clouds. 'I don't sense anyone up there, so...whoever they are, they can afford good psi-shields' Jean then asks if anyone wants to call it.
Wolverine suggests that Rogue should go high, while she and Synch go low, and Jean, Cyclops and Polaris save the people freezing to death in the water. Candy bar in hand, Wolverine pops her claws as she claims that she is not a strong swimmer after returning from the Vault. 'Y'all have fun. I'll let you know what I find' Rogue calls back from where she pilots the jet. She then reminds Cyclops not to forget to get into character. 'How could I?' Cyclops asks as his costume suddenly changes into his Captain Krakoa persona. Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch tells Jean that he is going to borrow her gift. 'Have fun' Jean tells him, adding 'Stay in contact... and be careful, the boat sounds like it's feral'.
'DIE! DIE! DIE!' the captain of the cruise ship shouts as he runs about, waving an axe overhead. 'If you can understand me, I don't want to fight you' Wolverine tells the captain, while Synch reports that it was a drug in the water. The captain lunges at Wolverine, who blocks his attack, then punches him in the face. 'Why do people take cruises?' Wolverine asks as she wraps her arms around the neck of an older man who runs towards her. Using Jean's telepathy, Synch explains that these people are in a frenzy, but even with Jean's power, he can't put them to sleep. Synch then reports that MODOK has some drones with him. Wolverine dodges the weapons fire that is aimed at her by AIM scientists, while Synch telepathically reaches out to everyone trapped on the boat, assuring them that help is on the way, he warns them not to drink the water, as it has been laced with something that is causing this mayhem.
Synch then telepathically tells Wolverine that he thought they could talk. 'At first, I was hoping that you would ask me about the time in the Vault. Then I thought, well, maybe I could show you with Jean's power, but now... I've decided that I really don't want you to have this burden' Synch explains as he punches an AIM scientist. 'Who wants to age a friend with five hundred years of hard road?' Synch asks. Wolverine glances back at Synch and tells him that she does have one question about their time together in the Vault. 'Shoot' Synch tells her. 'How long did it take for me to warm up to you?' she asks. 'A couple of years...a couple of hundred years' Synch responds, hanging his head. 'Broke me down that fast?' Wolverine asks, smiling as she puts a hand on her hip, before there is a loud boom as an AIM operative fires a weapon towards her. 'Hey! You two are interrupting a private chat. You fight each other – we'll take the winner!' Synch telepathically commands the AIM operatives, who begin to fight each other.
'Hey, it was 217 years before our first kiss, but who was counting?' Synch remarks. Wolverine tells him that she admires patience in a partner, and suggests to Synch that he ask her again sometime. 'There's more beekeepers ahead' she adds, referring to the scientists. Synch hangs his head and closes his eyes while he thinks back to the Hellfire Gala, where he announced that he knew he was pulling a lot of votes from his mission in the Vault, but that he is only here because of Wolverine. 'She's the one I want. Er, I mean, she's the one I want on the X-Men'. He remembers saying at the Gala. Suddenly, 'Ev! You're not going to believe what I found!' Wolverine exclaims as she beckons for Synch to follow her. Synch enters another room and is shocked by what he finds. He reaches out to Jean Grey, telepathically asking if, on the off-chance violence can't be afforded, this MODOK fella is disabled.
MODOK is in this room within the ship, a banquet hall, where he hovers next to the buffet, plating food onto a plate. 'I can't hear what you're saying telepathically yet, but I know you are communicating because of certain modifications I've made to my aural arrays' MODOK remarks, adding that the food is the only real reason to step food on these filthy tubs. 'Now, it's veery rude to carry on a private chat in a group setting' MODOK snarls as he glances at Synch. 'You turned these people into rage zombies – why?' Synch shouts at MOFOK. 'Because I could. For science...and eventually, a tidy profit' MODOK replies casually. He waves a fork with a sausage on it around remarks that he doesn't need to get his hands dirty if he can get the killing done for free. 'Of course, I didn't count on you damned kids showing up so fast. I was supposed to have dined and dashed before the first rescuers arrived' MODOK mutters.
Outside the ship, Captain Krakoa hovers above the ocean holding a child and a puppy and reports that they have pulled everyone alive from the water, while Jean, lifting several people up in the air with her telekinesis, tells Synch that they will be with him to face MODOK in a moment. Polaris flies nearby with a dozen or so people she has rescued, inside a magnetic force field. Jean then asks Rogue howe she is doing. The clouds above them begin to part, revealing the AIM ship that was hidden. Rogue is inside, and with several unconscious AIM operatives scattered around her, she reports that she interrupted an autopsy in progress, and that the AIM scientists were here to harvest as much information from the victims as they could. She then warns Synch and Wolverine not to underestimate MODOK.
Back on the cruise liner, MODOK looks at Wolverine and licks his lips as he asks her if she has claws and a metal skeleton. 'Well, that's a funny story, but yeah, I do' Wolverine replies, scowling as she holds up two claws. 'And... how are you at swimming, then?' MODOK asks as he unleashes a fury of psychic energy, slamming it into Wolverine and knocking her back through the ship, right out over the ocean, with Wolverine screaming as the attack takes place. 'I could kill you with a thought!' Synch exclaims as he attacks MODOK telepathically. 'YEAOW!' MODOK utters as the blast strikes him. 'Perhaps, but...MODOK has psi-shields, and I think you're missing a call from your friend. 'She says "glub glub glub"' MODOK snarls, looking annoyed at Synch. 'Damn you' Synch mutters, before racing over to a smashed window, and using his borrowed telekinesis to raise Wolverine up out of the water. Wolverine gasps as she is brought to safety.
'Now MODOK bids you adieu. Let this one go, mutants – I'd hate to see your Treehouse catch on fire' MODOK calls out as he blasts his way out of the cruise ship. 'Or maybe giant termites will befall it – the point is... I know where you live! HA HA HA HA!' MODOK laughs as he takes off into the clouds – only to get punched – hard – by Captain Krakoa who slams his fist into MODOK's large head, knocking MODOK off balance and causing him to crash back into the cruise ship. Captain Krakoa drops down to the cruise ship and hovers before MODOK and tells Synch that he would like a private word with MODOK, and instructs Synch to dial him in. 'No... stay out of my head!' MODOK protests.
(inside MODOK's mind)
'I'm in MODOK's mind. It's not what I was expecting' Captain Krakoa remarks as he finds himself outside a suburban house, where a boy with mechanical arms, shovels at the end of the arms, is sweeping the snow in front of the house. 'Hello, I'm a friend of your -' Captain Krakoa begins. 'My dad's around the back' the boy interrupts him. Captain Krakoa goes around the back of the house and finds MODOK hovering over a barbeque. 'Met your son. Seems like a good kid. I'm surprised you're a father...of sorts' Captain Krakoa remarks. 'And are you a father?' MODOK asks, looking up from the barbeque. 'I am' Captain Krakoa confirms. 'It's the hardest job' MODOK remarks. 'Tell me about it' Captain Krakoa agrees, while a woman approaches MODOK, carrying several trays of food, either in hand or via two robotic arms that extend from her back.
MODOK looks at Captain Krakoa and tells him that he knows what he is thinking: "Maybe gthe world is a better off without a mental organism designed only for killing people". Captain Krakoa admits that he would be lying if he told him that the thought hadn't crossed his mind. 'If we let you live, what do we get? What's the upside?' Captain Krakoa asks. A closer look of the barbeque reveals that MODOK has been grilling the heads of Wolverine, Cyclops and Xavier. 'Death is just the change from one state of being to another. I make tiny monsters, and when they kill, they kill for a glorious purpose. To advance our knowledge' he claims. He the grins and asks 'Isn't science amazing?' Captain Krakoa slams the lid down on the barbeque and asks MODOK why he makes monsters at all – why not make angels? MODOK scowls as he replies that angels are free to soar and often fly away – while monsters can be tamed with but a few clever or sharp words. 'Then hear are a few sharp words for you: You're going to make restitution for everyone you hurt, and if you don't... well, now we know where you live'.
'I guess I'll be late for dinner' MODOK mumbles from the floor of the ship where he crashed into. Captain Krakoa, Jean Grey and Polaris stand over him, while some soldiers aim their guns at him. The ship's captain has recovered from the infection and shakes Synch's hand as he thanks him for stopping the terror attack. 'The losses would have been so much worse without you' he adds. Wolverine is eating some food from the buffet and looks up at the X-Men's jet overhead as she remarks that Rogue was right – MODOK is not to be underestimated. 'And MODOK was right – the buffet is undefeated' Wolverine adds as Synch uses Jean Grey's telekinesis to levitate Wolverine and himself up to the jet, where Cyclops, Jean and Polaris are already waiting for them.
Later, at the Treehouse, the New York City home of the X-Men. 'Excuse me? Miss Teenage Warhead? We were so sad about Cyclops' death. We baked you some banana bread' a woman calls out as she and a man stand under the Treehouse and try to get the attention of Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who is making out with a woman with pink hair. Negasonic doesn't look up, instead she holds a finger out, telling the people to wait, as she carries on kissing.
Up on one of the tree branches, Captain Krakoa looks down and asks if Negasonic is building a whole team of girlfriends. 'She'll make a hell of an X-Man someday' Synch remarks, before asking Scott if he has a minute. 'Of course' Scott replies. 'What are we talking about? MODOK? Laura?' he asks. Synch tells Scott to hold that thought, and announces that the first thing he needs to talk about is Ben Urich. 'I know' Scott replies, as Synch sits down on the branch. 'You know?' Synch replies. 'I should've known. I wanted to tell you before you said something dumb to...one of the telepaths in your life...or did I already get you in trouble?' Synch asks. 'Double the trouble, Everett' Scott frowns. 'Ha ha! Sorry, I've made a bigger mess than I thought I had' Synch smiles sheepishly.
Synch tells Scott that he didn't know how he was going to handle Ben, and then Scott fell, and didn't get the chance. 'So... I acted. I synched with Jean before she went back to Krakoa, and I visited Ben' Synch reveals. Scott puts a hand on Synch's shoulder and tells him that the job of every X-Man is to save the world, live to fight another day and prepare the next generation for whatever they failed to fix for them. 'Don't apologize for trying to do the right thing. I've done far worse and accomplished much less while trying to protect our family' Scott points out. Synch explains to Scott that he acted out of fear, but asked Ben to give him his notebook. 'It's a rough read' Synch remarks as he hands it to Scott. Synch looks forlorn as he reveals that he just kicked the door of Ben's mind open and wiped the story, and it wasn't until he looked at his notes that he realized what he had snatched from him.
Scott flips through the notebook and comes to a page that has "Miracle of the Mutants" crossed out, and "The deathless X-Men" crossed out, leaving one title remaining - "Immortal X-Men". Synch stands up and declares that Ben Urich was not afraid of the truth – he thought the X-Men were miracles.
Scott closes the notebook, while Synch remarks that he has loved being an X-Man, but that his head is not in the game – when he's not thinking about how he messed up Ben Urich's head, he is thinking about Laura. 'My Laura, I mean. She's gone, and she's never coming back. And it's not fair to this Laura Kinney to be haunted by a ghost of a life not lived' Synch declares, before asking 'What if I was to say I'm finished being an X-Man?' This causes Scott to frown and respond by saying 'I'd say...you're finished when Captain Krakoa says you are'.

Although it is barely seen, Jean Grey's new costume this issue is her 2021 Hellfire Gala costume but without the extravagant yellow material that flowed down behind.
This issue includes a memo from Forge to Cyclops, in which he tells him that the Krakoan battlesuit he wears is one of a kind and is a prototype. Forge comments about how the suit was designed for mutants who can't defend themselves in battle, and notes one of the laws of Krakoa "make more mutants" doesn't necessarily mean that mutants are being made stronger. Forge asks Cyclops to collate data on the battlesuit, and declines the offer to join the X-Men, instead suggesting Bling, if Cyclops wants a technologist on the team.
Forge's memo refers to mutants like Cypher, Artie, Leech and Ugly John being the intended wearers of the Krakoan battlesuit.
Forge's memo also refers to a mutant whose power is to create ice cream – this is a reference to the character called Soft Serve who was seen in the background of Way of X #2, handing out ice cream to guests at the Hellfire Gala.

How Much is Marin's Natural Beauty Worth to You? Could Be Time to Pay Up
If county supervisors give the OK, there will be a nine-year sales tax increase on your November ballot.
(Editor) , July 27, 2012 at 02:24 PM
How much are you willing to spend to preserve Marin's parks, open space and farmland? How about a quarter of a penny for each dollar you spend? How about doing that for nine years?
Voters, it's looking like that proposal will be on your November ballot.
The Marin County Board of Supervisors decided this week to schedule an Aug. 7 hearing on the merits of the temporary tax proposal to float Marin County Parks. That day is a make-or-break day for getting it on the Nov. 6 ballot.
According to a county staff report, it's taken decades of community effort to build and maintain a collection of land set aside for pastoral assets. The argument could be defended that such undeveloped lands and parks are a big reason why people want to live here.
Take a quick inventory and decide what you tend to use: McNear's Beach Park, Stafford Lake, Point Reyes Playground, Tiburon Uplands, Agate Beach, Indian Tree Preserve, Rush Creek Preserve, Bothin Park, Baltimore Canyon, Bald Hill, Mount Burdell ... the list keeps on going.
Now, a funding crisis has hampered the county's to take good care of that land. The annual budget of $12 million is considered insufficient to cover the scope of services and maintain what's been set aside. Parks staff has polled more than 600 voters and held three public meetings to gauge support, and the prevailing response was "take care of what you already have," according to the report.
Over nine years, the proposed tax increase would yield about $10 million per year for the cause. The money could allow the county to increase its land acquisition, too.
The deadline is approaching to get ballot language to the county registrar's office. The Aug. 7 meeting is only three days before the door is closed.
What are your thoughts about this? Read the language of the attached proposal. Share a comment below and vote in our survey.
Ha ha, Don't think I could have said it better myself!
But, I think there's a point being missed here. Why should I have to pay a tax to enjoy "natural" beauty? I'm tired of supporting self-serving and mismanaged bureaucracy. If our supervisors care about preserving our parks let them get out there and volunteer to do it themselves.
PS They've already made it clear that they don't listen to people like me -- Eh, Susan? So, it figures they scheduled a hearing on a day I've got jury duty. ;)
I totally agree with you 100%. The way the government pays employees' and gives them all of these special perks totally erodes the idea of the American Spirit. Why would anyone run a small business, or try to be an entrepeneur if you could just get a government job and retire with benefits.
The way things are going, everyone is going to either work for the government or be a slave of the government. It's pretty scary to me.
Thanks Brent - the temporary tax proposal is pretty straightforward but there's no detail to how the money would be spent. That appears to be referenced as 'Exhibit A' within the proposal text. Any chance of getting that attached as well?
In any case, this seems to be a 'run it up the flagpole' sort of effort. Because the bar is high (2/3 vote), they are probably floating the proposal now not because they think it will pass in the current election but because having it appear in successive elections makes it seem more crucial and thus more likely to pass the 2nd or 3rd time around. I wouldn't worry about this one just yet..
July 31, 2012 at 02:27 AM
I say, do away with all retirement pensions. That means (especially) no 401 K's or any other type of money sucking scam.
Let all workers and free agents, both public and private, pay for and manage their own retirement plans, or choose not too, and take care of their own financial situations.
Let's face it, the financial system is in the toilet. Why do people insist that everyone participate in money looting 401K's.
It really doesn't matter if a worker is self employed, works for a corporation or the government, NOBODY should be losing money by paying into retirement scams, and the same goes for private health care insurance scams.
Just do what I did, JUST SAY NO TO ALL OF IT.
There is no law that requires all citizens of the U.S. to donate to these criminal corporate welfare funds
July 31, 2012 at 03:07 AM
I can't disagree with you Richard. The days of the company pension are long gone. Now it is only government workers who are getting these benefits all at the expense of the taxpayers. Our government has even robbed social security to pay for its own programs and nobody stops them! And government workers are continuing to receive standard pay that is higher than the private sector. And what the hell do all of these government workers do for the taxpayer? The real problem we have is there are now so many government workers either receiving or waiting to receive these benefits it will be challenging to get any elected officials to work for the taxpayers who fund this because we are now in a minority! Look what happened recently when they tried to put an end to the insane government benefits in Wisconsin. You would have thought we were going to go to war. Look at what Obama is doing. He continues to allow the fed to create money out of thin air to pay for our debt. He spends spends spends and for what? The majority of our debt and spending is to fund our HUGE government and our employees including lucrative retirement benefits. It is total insanity and there is not a single elected official doing anything about this. Why would they as they themselves are government employees. I am open to any idea that might work on how to take back control. | http://sanrafael.patch.com/groups/sports/p/how-much-is-marin-s-natural-beauty-worth-to-you-time-to-pay-up | 2014/07/13 19:10:12 | mC4 |

OS Grid: NJ070571

Entry Name: Blervie Castle
Source ID: SM5625
The monument consists of the remains of Blervie Castle, a defensive towerhouse constructed on the Z-plan by the Dunbars about 1600. The monument was scheduled in 1993, but the original scheduling omitted a significant area of the remains, hence this rescheduling.
According to the Exchequer Rolls, the royal castle of Blervie, or Ulerin, was repaired in anticipation of Haakon's invasion in 1263. It was held on behalf of the king by Alexander Comyn, earl of Buchan.
The present tower is of later date and is situated amidst the buildings of Blervie Castle Farm. The surviving elements consist of the W corner-turret and fragmentary portions of the adjoining main block, which contained the hall. The latter was some 9m wide externally and survives to a maximum of some 8.4m in length; but nothing now remains of the north-eastern part of it, nor of the E corner-turret. The hall fireplace survives in the SE wall on the first floor; it has moulded jambs and a joggled flat-arched mantle decorated with a central carved crest. To the left is a window and to the right two doors, one leading into the corner-turret and the other to the stair to the upper floors.
The W turret is five storeys high, each level comprising a single chamber, and measures 6.5m square over walls about 1m thick. It has a flat roof, angle-rounds and a corbel table which formerly carried the battlements. The walls are rubble built with ashlar dressings. The basement level is vaulted and provided with gun-loops; the upper floors are vaulted, apart from the second, which was of timber (with original joists surviving). The rooms are accessed by a turnpike stair, entered from the W corner of the hall and built within the junction of the hall block and the turret; above the level of the hall block's roof, this continues as a projecting rounded stair-turret. Formerly it had a caphouse, but now it is open at the top. One of the winders is decorated with a dog-tooth pattern.
The area to be scheduled is irregular, extending 3m from the exterior walls of the castle, to include the square corner-turret and the remains of the hall block but excluding modern buildings encroaching on them and the modern water-tank and associated pipework inserted into the turret. The area measures overall 17.7m NW-SE by 19.7m SW-NE, as shown in red on the accompanying map.
The monument is of national importance because it is a well preserved example, albeit incomplete, of a late Medieval towerhouse. It is contemporary with and closely related in style to the tower of Burgie. The upstanding remains are thought to overlie an earlier fortified site and this offers the possibility, through a combination of historical research and archaeological excavation, to establish information relating to the development of defensive architecture, social organisation and material culture in Scotland during the later Middle Ages. | https://ancientmonuments.uk/121806-blervie-castle-forres-ward | 2019/05/26 09:59:48 | mC4 |

As the name implies, "Twin Cities" was filmed in Minneapolis and St. Paul. It will be shown at the Twin Cities Film Festival, which opens Wednesday. (The movie's first screening on Oct. 26 sold out, so a second screening was added on Oct. 25.)
Ash, who has worked in finance at Ecolab in St. Paul for eight years, started writing when he was in grad school at the University of Iowa. He got into screenwriting and made his first short film about 12 years ago. He's made a half dozen short films. "Twin Cities" is his third full-length film.
His last movie, "2021," is "sort of a prequel" to "Twin Cities," but it's not necessary to have seen one before the other, Ash says. "2021" has been shown at festivals, distributed overseas and is available on Amazon Prime.
"Twin Cities" features the "2021" characters Emily and John four or five years into their marriage. It's not pretty. She communicates by writing on Post-It notes.
After a failed attempt at intimacy following a date at the place where John proposed to Emily (filmed at Underground Music Cafe on Hamline Avenue in St. Paul), she comes into his office for a rare bit of dialogue: "This. Whatever this is. It's not working. I'm sorry but, I'm done."
"Twin Cities" features familiar Twin Cities stage faces, including Ari Hoptman, Richard Ooms, Peter Christian Hansen and comic Mary Mack.
Twin Cities skylines and Fuji-Ya in Minneapolis show up in the film. Ash's wife, Jen Hanlon Ash, worked at Minnesota Public Radio, so office scenes were shot there. "And there was a film crew in our house for three weeks," Ash says.
As his movie premieres in the location whose name it bears, we asked Ash to answer a few questions about his own movie experiences.

First film that ever made you scream: " 'The Amityville Horror' made me sleep with the lights on, and I've only recently turned them back off."
First film that made you cry: "'It's A Wonderful Life.' I first saw it when I was 14, and it revealed to me how deeply a film can affect you. I've seen it at least 30 times since, and every time George Bailey's brother gives the toast at the end, 'Here's to my big brother George, the richest man in town,' it completely wrecks me."
First film that ever made you laugh out loud: " 'Dumb and Dumber.' I would put it up against any of Shakespeare's 'comedies,' which are about as funny as a really unfunny funeral."
Movie you have to see over and over: " 'Taxi Driver' feels vital and fresh every time I see it. Every element of it is so fully realized and unaffected that it never seems like a movie, vying for your attention. It all just happens, and you can't look away from it."
Movie everyone talks about that you admit you haven't seen: "I've heard good things about 'Star Wars.' "
Who should see your movie? "People for whom superheroes are not Batman or Spider-Man fighting evil villains, but rather ordinary humans battling anxiety, depression and existential ennui."
Who should NOT see your movie? "If you've ever enjoyed an Adam Sandler movie, please stay away from this one."
Advice for filmmakers shooting in the Twin Cities: "It may look great in your head, but do not write a series of long scenes that take place by a frozen lake in the dead of winter. Your cast and crew will spend all day in various stages of hypothermia, none of the footage will be usable, and by the end of the day everyone involved will hate you (based on actual experience from my most recent film)."
If they didn't serve popcorn in theaters, what would you serve with your movie? "There are a few scenes in the film that I still have trouble watching without first having a couple drinks. So, I guess I would say some nice red wine. Maybe pair that with some Goobers."

BETHUNE SECTOR
Based on extracts from the Regimental Chronicles of The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Vol 25 1915-1916
October 29th-November 2nd.-The Regiment moved on the morning of the 29th October to billets at Annequin and Cambrin. Fatigue parties were out every day on work in the trenches. The weather was very wet.
On the 2nd November the Regiment paraded at 8.30 a.m., and took over Z.I Section (from Boyan R.I. inclusive 100 yards north of railway at A.22.C.5.2 to Boyan 15 inclusive).
Each company found 2 platoons in the front line and 2 in support,
D and C Companies finding the garrisons of Sim's and Arthur's Keeps respectively (one platoon of each).
Order of companies from right to left was A. D, B, C.
The German line was approximately 200 to 300 yards distant.
Opposite Boyan 15 was a crater. Here we had sapped out, and were about 50 yards distant from the enemy's sap-head.
The weather had been very wet, and the trenches were in an extremely bad state. A great deal of building up, revetting, and trench-flooring was necessary before the trenches became habitable. One hundred and seventy pairs of trench boots were issued to the men and they were very serviceable. Nothing happened this day to stop work.
November 3rd,-A quiet day, and weather better. No shelling and little sniping. Work in trenches all day and night. An officer's patrol visited the crater.
November 4th.-A fine day. Work progressed well. No shelling, and very little sniping.
November 5th.-A fine day. Trenches now dry and boarded in the front line. Enemy very inactive.
November 6th.-Relieved by Glasgow Highlanders at 0.30 a.m. and marched into Beuvry to billets.
November 7th.-Moved to billets at Annezin, in relief of the 1st Queen's.
November 8th-10th.-(In billets at Annezin.) Usual work as when in reserve.
November 11th.-In the morning the Regiment marched to Annequin and went into billets there. Found garrisons (of 1 platoon each) for Russel's Keep and Lewis Keep.
November 12th.-The Brigade commenced to move back to rest. In the morning the Regiment marched to Bethune, and were billeted in the Orphanage.
November 13th.-In the morning marched to billets in Gonnehem (south), taking over from the 1st Herts Regiment (6th Brigade). A bitterly cold day, blowing a gale, and with rain as on two previous days.
This area is a very compact one for a regiment. Very good shower-baths (new Divisional pattern) have now been constructed, and there is also a good cinema theatre.
November 15th.-The whole Division is now out resting. Very cold weather. A field was found near Choques, where Adjutant's and Company drills were carried out, also physical training and other useful work. Special company wiring squads and bombers were trained.
November 19th.-Still in rest, doing some good training; much bathing. Each company has put all its men through a short musketry course, firing two practices (grouping) of 5 rounds each, on a short (50 yards) range near Bois de Dames, which included an hour's march each way.
November 20th.-This was our last day in rest at Gonnehem— one of the best rests we have had for a long time, and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, perhaps more particularly by the men, because they were able to have roast meats every other day, in place of the familiar stew, several of the cottages containing good ovens.
November 21st.-At 9.30 a.m. the Regiment left for Annequin, where it arrived at 12.30 p.m., and took over billets from the 1st Middlesex Regiment.
November 22nd.-At 9 a.m. we commenced to relieve the 1st South Staffords (7th Division) in A.1, or right Cuinchy Sector. This area is rather different now to when we were here last July. It now extends for nearly a company frontage south of the road, and the left only just reaches to the brick-stacks. The trenches are in rather a dilapidated condition, caused partly by the bad weather and partly by the few men now kept in the front area. The present policy is to have as few men as possible in front, so that in estimating the number of men required to hold the front system one really has to consider the question of the upkeep of the trenches rather than that of defence.
Companies were distributed as follows :--
A Company in front line trenches, just south of Bethune-La Bassee Road.
C Company in front line trenches from this road as far as Ridley Walk, whence the 2nd H.L.I, continued the line
Both companies had 2 platoons in the front line and 2 in supporting line.
B Company in support in Praed Street and Marylebone Road.
D Company had 2 platoons in Cuinchy support point, 1 platoon in Park Lane Redoubt, and 1 platoon in Stafford Redoubt.
Headquarters of the Regiment at Woburn Abbey.
November 23rd.-The enemy fairly quiet, except for occasional sniping. Some rain yesterday and today.
November 26th-29th.-At 9 a.m. (26th) the Regiment was relieved by the 1st Queen's, whose billets were taken over in Harley Street, Cambrin.
B Company, 3 platoons in Braddell Point.
2 sections in Cambrin Support Point.
1 section in Carter's Keep.
1 section in Tourbieres Keep.
D Company, at Pont Fixe (south of the canal).
A Company, immediately south of D Company (in the street).
C Company, in huts at Beuvry.
Rain on the 26th and 29th; frost on the 27th and 28th.
On the 28th Captain Southey, Lieut. Sewell, and 4 N.C.O.'s were attached to the 24th Royal Fusiliers, to superintend and instruct their trench training.
November 30th.-To trenches at Cuinchy, relieving the 1st Queen's at 10 a.m. in A. 1 Section. Enemy very quiet. Weather wet.
December lst-3rd.- (In trenches at Cuinchy.) Enemy inactive; a few trench-mortar bombs at intervals.
December 4th.-(To billets in the Rue d'Aire area, Bethune.) At 9 a.m. the Glasgow Highlanders commenced to relieve us, but it took nearly 5 hours instead of 2 on account of the mud. Practically every man in the front system wears gum-boots, which makes the negotiation of landslips and deep mud a great difficulty. These boots are an immense boon, and undoubtedly save the men's feet as well as their ordinary boots, but getting them out of store and returning them again are very lengthy processes. Here they are stored in part of the village school, and before going to the trenches the men have to go to the store and fit gum-boots. Again, on returning from the trenches, each man has to wash his boots, so as to hand them in clean. The washing operation, of course, entailed a large crowd of men at one spot, and I was always particularly thankful when the day was cloudy and hostile aeroplanes did not venture over our lines.
December 5th.-A beautifully fine day. We were visited by our old C.O., Brigadier-General Davies.
December 6th.-At 8 a.m. we were off forward again, taking over Cuinchy, B.1. area, from the 1st Queen's. This is a quiet area, but very low lying in parts, and consequently very wet. In some places a pump has to be kept going incessantly, in order to keep the floods down.
December 10th.-Relieved by the Glasgow Highlanders, the relief taking nearly four hours instead of two. To Beuvry for billets.
December 12th.-At 9.30 a.m. we relieved the 1st Queen's in A.1 sub-section, Cuinchy trenches.
Headquarters are now in Harley Street instead of Woburn Abbey, the sleeping dug-outs having become uninhabitable. The line has also been rearranged, on account of the state of the trenches, as follows :--
One company has 1 platoon in the trenches south of La-Bassee Road,
1 platoon in Waterloo Place and Oxford Street,
1 platoon in Stafford Redoubt, and 1 platoon in Park Lane Redoubt.
One company has 2 platoons in and about Ridley Walk area, and 2 platoons in Cuinchy Support Point.
One company has 2 platoons in Braddell Point,
1 ½ platoons in Cambrin Support Point,
1 section in Carter's Redoubt,
1 section in Tourbieres Redoubt.
One company in reserve in Harley Street.
December 12th-14th.-One company of the 13th Essex Regiment (for 24 hours at a time) came into the line as left front company.
Weather improving—colder and drier, but the trenches have become so bad that fewer are now ordered to be kept up. With the exception of some " whiz-bangs " at intervals the enemy has been very quiet.
December 14th.-At 11 a.m. the Regiment was relieved by the 24th R. Fusiliers, and went into billets at Beuvry (N.), remaining there, in reserve, until the afternoon of the 16th, and being able to get all the men bathed—a great thing.
December 16th-20th.-At 2 p.m. on the 16th companies started to march back to the Cuinchy trenches, in relief of the 2nd H.L.I., and occupied A.2 section, where we had never been previously.
Rain three days out of the four. The enemy, though very quiet, was alert and vigilant, especially at night.
Hard work keeping the trenches passable. Companies somewhat isolated, and the main work concentrated on keeping the communication trenches open and free for passage. About 200 of the 13th Essex were employed daily in assisting this work.
Companies were disposed as follows :--
One company on the right front, with Headquarters in Brickfield Keep, and 1 platoonin Cabbage Patch Redoubt ;
1 company on the left front with Headquarters, and 2 platoons about the railway embankment, and 2 platoons in and about Lover's Keep.
The remaining 2 companies in houses in Harley Street, near Pont Fixe. Regimental Headquarters at Kingsclere House.
These conditions as to distribution of companies had practically been imposed on account of the unbearable state of so many of the trenches. There was an unoccupied space of 150 yards in the front line between the flanks of the two companies.
Casualties :--
17th December, 1 officer and 2 men wounded.
20th December, 1 man killed.
December 20th.- The 2nd H.L.I, relieved us at 5 p.m., and we moved to billets in Annequin North—a new area.
December 21st.- (In billets, in reserve, in Annequin.) Rain again.
The Regiment standing by last night and this night. Our heavy guns, of which we are in the midst, have kept up an intense bombardment of the enemy's trenches all day, and the noise is deafening. In the evening we let off some gas, but the result was not good, and, owing to the vigilance of the enemy, no advance was made by our infantry.
December 22nd-26th.-At 10 a.m., 22nd, the Regiment commenced the relief of the Glasgow Highlanders in A.1 section Cuinchy trenches.
The companies were distributed as follows :--
One company has 3 platoons in trenches south of the main La Bassee road, and 1 platoon in Stafford Redoubt.
One company has 3 platoons in trench north of the road, and 1 platoon in Park Lane Redoubt.
One company with Headquarters and 2 platoons in Cuinchy Support Point, and 2 platoons at Braddel Point.
The 4th Company, with Regimental Headquarters, in Harley Street.
The trenches were wonderfully clean when we took them over, but we had a good deal of rain off and on, entailing plenty of repair work. During this period the enemy remained quiet, and our artillery was very active.
On the 25th the 37th reinforcement (28 men) joined from the Base.
The 2nd and 33rd Divisions have now been reconstituted. The 19th Brigade and the 1st Queen's and 2nd Worcesters (of our Brigade) have gone to the 33rd Division, while the 2nd Division has received from them in return six of their Service battalions. The 5th Brigade now consists of ourselves, the 2nd H.L.I., 17th R. Fusiliers, and 24th R. Fusiliers.
December 26th.-The 2nd H.L.I, relieved us at 11 a.m., and we moved back into billets at Annequin North.
December 27th.-The relief of the 2nd Division by the 33rd Division commenced. We paraded at 12 noon and marched to Bethune (5 miles), going into billets in the Rue d'Aire area. Thus ended a long and hard spell of trench life, made all the worse by constant reliefs.
For good reasons our normal system had to be broken. This system consisted of the Brigade being in the trenches for 16 days, each battalion being 4 days in and 4 days out, a pair of battalions relieving each other twice. Then the whole Brigade went back away from the trenches for 8 days. We have always found this system works very well, but nearly every Division and Brigade has a system of its own.
December 28th.-The Regiment paraded at 9 a.m. and marched through Chocques and Lillers to Cottes (12 miles), arriving there at 2.30 p.m., the men having had dinners, from the cookers, on the road. The men marched well. Billets considerably scattered, but good.
December 29th-3lst.-In billets at Cottes, St. Hilaire—a nice little village. A great relief to be right away from all noise for a time, and the weather very pleasant. | http://www.lightbobs.com/1915-bethune-november-december.html | 2022/05/19 19:16:49 | mC4 |

December 30, 2018 by Stephen Ingram
At This One Good Life, we believe that intentionality is one of the keys to living a meaningful and fulfilling life and #The12Challenge is a perfect way to do that! We know that the majority of people (80%) quit their new years resolutions by February. We believe this is because we set goals that are too big, for too long with too little support. So….
The challenge is simple: Each month we (Bryant and Stephen) will start a 30 day journey focusing on one meaningful and achievable goal. We begin on the first day of each month and end on the last, at the end of each month we will evaluate how we did, what we learned and set the focus for the next month. (Also, if you did not start this in January it is no problem! Just begin at the first of any month in 2019!)
We want to do this journey with you! We all know that when we work towards goals together, with accountability and encouragement we all do better. With this in mind we are inviting you to join us on this journey by telling us via Email, Facebook or Instagram your focus that each month. A community will build around all of our goals and we can help each other live this one good life, together!
Here is how to Start:
Sit down and reflect on the things in your life that you want to: change, improve, focus on, experiment with or even try for the first time. Brainstorm without consequence!
Narrow your list down to 12 individual goals, make sure they are attainable in 30 days, i.e. Do not say I want to lose 30 pounds this month but maybe say I want to drop 2 pants sizes or 3 pounds or only eat fried food 1 day a week this month.
Plot the 12 goals over the next 12 months, think about how each goal will work in that month, time of year and your rhythm of life.
Post your list on one of our social media accounts and start chronicling your journey with the hashtag #The12Challenge, make sure to tag us in your posts as well
Find some other friends, challenge them to do the same and begin this journey to a better life, a better year, and a better you! | https://www.thisonegoodlife.com/blog1/the12challenge | 2019/09/17 13:29:18 | mC4 |

Wizards Rule Out 2 All-Star Guards, Heat Trade Rumors Rage On
Getty Washington Wizards All-Star guards Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook talk over a play after a timeout.
The Miami Heat received a lucky break two hours prior to tip-off in Washington, D.C. after the Wizards ruled Russell Westbrook out. The nine-time All-Star guard was listed with a new left quadriceps injury. Raul Neto will start in his place tonight at point guard.
Wizards head coach Scott Brooks announced the injury during his media availability around 5:15 p.m. on Saturday. Westbrook had been dealing with two other ailments — a right quadriceps injury, plus a dislocated right ring finger — but the left quadriceps issue is new and unrelated. The 32-year-old was averaging 19.3 points and 11.3 assists in 37.1 minutes per game this season. His absence is a huge advantage for the Heat.
Westbrook has missed two games so far for the Wizards due to injury. He scored 12 points in Friday night's loss to the Boston Celtics after hurting his finger two nights before versus the Philadelphia 76ers. He finished with 20 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in that game.
UPDATE: Jerome Robinson started for Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal who was pulled from the starting lineup due to health and safety and contact tracing exposure to Jayson Tatum. The Boston Celtics star tested positive for COVID-19 and the two were in close proximity the other night, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Tatum has to quarantine for 10-14 days.
Wizards Coach Praises Heat Star Bam Adebayo
Brooks gave a ringing endorsement for Heat star Bam Adebayo in his pregame comments, too. The All-Star center is averaging 18.6 points and 8.0 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per game this season. He earned huge compliments last year from NBA Hall-of-Famer Charles Barkley and Brooks piled on the love.
The Wizards head coach called Adebayo "as good as they get" and predicted the 23-year-old big man would be an "All-Star probably for the next 10 years."
Scott Brooks on Bam Adebayo: "He's as good as they get. He's going to be an All-Star probably for the next 10 years."
He said his ability to guard pick-and-rolls and switch onto guards is special.
— Chase Hughes (@ChaseHughesNBCS) January 9, 2021
Heat president Pat Riley obviously saw the same thing when he handed Adebayo a five-year extension worth at least $163 million back in November. Riley sees him as a foundational piece for the organization.
"One of the most important things a franchise can do is to make sure that your best, youngest, cornerstone players sign on the dotted line," Riley said in a statement at the time. "Getting Bam his extension was a no-brainer for us because we know he will be around for years to come. That's great for the Heat, great for the fans and great for Bam."
Bradley Beal Trade Talks Still on Table?
The rumor mill has cooled on the James Harden rumors, but Beal's name keeps popping up in potential trade pieces for Miami. Beal will be on the floor tonight as the enemy and maybe he can use it as an audition to join the Heat.
Fadeaway World recently proposed a "blockbuster trade idea" that would send Beal to South Beach in exchange for Andre Iguodala, Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kelly Olynyk. That is a ton to give up for the 27-year-old scoring machine. Then again, a backcourt comprised of Beal and Jimmy Butler would be downright unstoppable.
Sunday notes on a Saturday: Could Bradley Beal get real for Heat amid Wizards' woes? https://t.co/reXrLX1QkP Plus: Doc Rivers, Derrick Jones Jr., Josh Richardson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, sellouts, Charles Barkley, more.
— Ira Winderman (@IraHeatBeat) January 2, 2021
Beal is averaging 35.0 points per game for the Wizards. And Washington GM Tommy Sheppard has gone on record several times saying he's not trading Beal. The third overall pick from the 2012 draft seems content where he is, but takes all the trade rumors as a sign of respect.
"It's not the first time I've heard this kind of talk," Beal told ESPN last year. "It's interesting. To me, I look at it as a sign of respect, that I've been doing good things and guys want to play with me." | https://immiguy.com/2021/01/10/wizards-rule-out-2-all-star-guards-heat-trade-rumors-rage-on/ | 2021/01/15 20:03:07 | mC4 |

Club nights are held at The Town Inn, South Molton, on the third Thursday of each month at 8.00pm. Monthly runs and evening meets are organized to cover most parts of the county.
I must confess that the weather forecast in the last few days leading up to this our last run of 2018, did make it look as if the run would be a total washout. In fact, as I set off from Tiverton, there was a persistant drizzle, a foggy mist, wet roads covered in leaves and water running off pretty well every raised field and lane making me question my judgement, ( or sanity ). In fact on arrival at Okehampton station, it was only Dermot, Ian and myself who had filthy bikes as our comrades from the North had run down to the start in the dry.
In the end, it was 12 riders who signed on for the run, amongst those brave enough, was a rider on a honda 90 (86cc ) who managed to keep up well with us so that we all questioned his actual cc.
After a very welcomed cuppa, and a sign on with Mike, it was time for the briefing, here Dermot stepped forward and admitted that for a few reasons he had let Ian take over the organising and leading for today and thanked him for doing so. Ian then warned us about the risk of wet leaves and gave a run down on the route ahead, so with Chris and myself taking the rear marshal slots, we were off on time at 1100.
Our route was out of Okehampton via the little road past the castle giving us all a close view, then on to Sourton taking the road towards Tavistock. After a while, we were lead off to Lydford Gorge and through Lifton, where we turned off to pass the entrance to the fairground museum and over the A30 to pass Roadford reservoir. After some 38 miles, we came to the lunch stop at Brandis Corner where we partook of a very nice carvery. Throughout the morning run there had been no sign of rain but we knew this was on the way so in true Guy Fawkes run tradition, the official run ended there but Ian lead the remainers back to Hatherleigh for some of the North Devon guys to peel off then on to the Okehampton to Bow road where we from Tiverton carried on towards Crediton, by now the rain was steadily falling and the mist we had encountered in the morning came upon us on the last leg over the hills to Tivvy.
After a poor forecast, it turned out to be a very enjoyable run with no misshaps over a great route for which we must thank Ian, thanks also to Mike for his usual stalwart signing on duties, to Chris who on top of everything else he does, took position as rear marshal with me for the day, and to Mike for some of the photo's.
Now, can I urge you to sign up for our annual dinner with Chris if you have not already done so, he must have your names and money by the 11th of this month, also can I urge you please to attend the Town Arms for club night on the 15th November where we shall have a talk by the Godfreys on their trip on two wheels along the Rhine, bring family members, neighbours, people who owe you a favour or money,
There was a great evening at the Town Arms on Thursday when Keith ran one of his observation nights, I did say to him on the way up that I had a good idea now what he will be looking for and he would have some difficulty this time catching me out but I was stumped when he asked how many holes there were in the front wheel spokes of a Honda!!. Nevertheless, it was Ray and I who picked up the prize of a box of celebration sweets which we passed around so no one could say they didn't get something, a good night again thanks Keith.
Next Months club night will be a talk by Sue and Ivan Godfrey on cycling along the Rhine, I hope we can rely on a good turn out as it's embarrassing to have outsiders come to give us a talk if there are just a few members present so please come and bring your family members as it will be interesting to all.
Next run is our last for this year, it will be the Guy Fawkes run on the 4th November starting from Okehampton station, please come along.
If you haven't yet booked for the club dinner then do ring Chris to put your name down, the committee are subsidising this event this year by £3 dropping the cost to just £17 per person, the dinner will be at the Jubilee Inn on the B3227 this year.
You will no doubt be pleased to learn that the committee have been able to fill all the run dates for next year, thanks to all who volunteered to take runs whether committee members or not.
Due to a misunderstanding, our speakers for September 20th did not arrive but they are now scheduled to come to us on the 15th November, they will give us a talk on 'the Rhine on two wheels', unfortunately their two wheels are pedal and not motor powered but if their talk is anything like the one they gave us in Tiverton a few years ago then it will be worth listening too.
This club night would be an occasion when family members could come as well as they would I'm sure find it interesting, we could do with a good turn out so please do come along.
This years Christmas Lunch will be held at the Jubilee Inn, nr South Molton on Saturday December the 8th. 12 for 12.30pm.
The committee have agreed to subsidize the meal by £3 per head so that the cost for the 2 courses plus tea or coffee will be £17. Space is limited, so only the first 30 bookings will be taken.
15 riders made their way to Kirsty's Kitchen for todays end of summer run organised and led by Chris. On arrival at the café we were met by good old Mike who once again signed us on and turned us upside down to shake the 2 pounds signing on fee, as it was it was worth every penny as Chris had laid on a cracking route and good weather. I was riding a new bike in my stable, a Honda 400T which I had to use today as my TR6 is still ditching oil.
Darol's ego edged up a couple of notches when a younger lady told him he was 'cool' and wanted to know if he was single!, when the run started, I was concerned whether he would follow us or stay in North Tawton!. In the event he joined us to follow Chris back to the main road and head off to Okehampton. Once through the town, we were led on the old main road through Lewdown and Launceston, ( Lanson as cousin Merv would say). As I followed the ride, I must confess to musing about some of the place names, now the village of Portgate was transited through and I couldn't help wondering how it got it's name?, after all it's miles from the sea so no port and no gate across the road, perhaps then it was that Port was sold here in great quantity during smugglers times and the village was the Gate through which the contraband flowed!. Then I'm sure we passed through a village called something like Sourscott!, I did not see a miserable Scot or a set of bagpipes as we went through!, ah well on with the route.
After Lanson, we headed for Kilkhampton via Red Post which I was pleased to see back in full action once again, finally we pulled into our lunch stop The New Inn where we were well looked after with a varied menu some having just soup and others everything up to a roast.
As we got ready to set off for the run to Torrington, something happened which to me was straight forward but others couldn't understand, in fact Dermot says he is looking forward to my write up on the subject so here goes. When I came to sit on my steed, I noticed a pair of gloves on my saddle, I asked everyone around me but no one in the car park owned up to them so I surmised that one of the riders who had set off home must have forgotten them and I felt he would soon be doubling back for the gloves, so I told Ian that I was going to find who's they were and headed back toward Bude expecting any minute to see someone heading back to collect them, I would have stopped them, delivered the gloves and turned back, but by Bude there was no sign of a returning rider so I turned back and made my way to Torrington common arriving just after the run. As I was explaining my actions, Chris reached into my Hi Viz and pronounced they were his!, so mystery solved, it was a question of my knowing what I was doing and thinking that I had made the back markers understand that but perhaps not conveying fully to Ian and Dermot so they did as well!.
A great day out, well done to our Honda 90 rider who did not hold us up at all, to Chris and Mike and to Ian and Dermot for back marshal duties. Next run is October 14th for the Autumn run from Sainsburys Barnstaple.
Another great evening at the welcome fryer in South Molton for this our last fish and chips of 2018, already!. Our numbers were a bit down as we have a few in the Caribbean ! on holiday, ( well perhaps they may wish that ). It means that they missed a partial strip by our esteemed Chairman at the very start of the evening ( ok it was involuntary ), however he would not repeat the performance for the camera, ( spoil sport ).
The conversation was the usual putting the world to rights with the other end of the tables concentrating on Brexit!, how they managed to eat fish and chips whilst on that subject I don't know.
OK now the next turn out for us will be at Atlantic village on the 12th of August where we will be lead by Roy to points yet to be discovered so come along folks.
Gordon was so happy, that he wore his best hat which he usually only wears to weddings and when sleeping.

Marek Reichman is Aston Martin's design chief and has been responsible for the creation of the brand new DB11, as well as the Vulcan and One-77 — it's his design language that you've seen influencing the low, sleek, wide Astons with a modern version of the iconic catfish grille. The new car will look distinctly Aston Martin, but will have the body design of an F1 car.
The AM-RB 001 will inherit all of Red Bull Racing's expertise in aerodynamics and composite manufacturing, but won't be constrained by F1 regulations. What it looks like is entirely up to Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing at the moment, with only the top image released as a sneak peek of the future.

During the night, as we sleep, a beautiful celestial dance is taking place. While Earth seems solid and still, it's actually spinning on its axis and circling the sun. Joining Earth in this orbit around the sun are the other seven planets in our solar system, along with dozens of moons and millions of comets and asteroids. Containing our solar system is the wondrous Milky Way galaxy, with its billions of stars, just like our own sun, swirling and whirling around. And on from there are the billions of galaxies with their own stars swirling and whirling into the ever-expanding space called our universe. When the sun rises on a brand new day, the dance continues. Through lyrical text, award-winning science writer Suzanne Slade (June Almeida, Virus Detective! The Woman Who Discovered the First Human Coronavirus) takes young readers on an exploration of our solar system, galaxies beyond, and finally the universe as a whole.

Can I get funding for my heritage project from Louth Local Authorities?
Can I get funding for my forthcoming book on Louth's heritage?
Can I get funding from Louth Local Authorities to help manage a graveyard?
Can I get funding for my heritage project from the Heritage Council?
Can I get funding to repair my house, my thatched roof, an old church?
Can I get funding for my heritage project from Louth County Council (now incorporating all Louth Local Authorities)?
Louth County Council does not, as some other county councils do, operate a community heritage grant scheme for voluntary groups. The Heritage Council and Louth LEADER do have roles in providing grants to community heritage projects. These would include payments for interpretation materials (e.g. heritage or wildlife panels), for publications or for holding public heritage events. Please contact the heritage office if you have a similar project in mind that you would like to discuss with the heritage officer.
See above and also the information on Heritage Council grants below. In previous years Louth County Council ran a grant scheme called 'PublishLouth'. It was closed down due to the fiscal crisis.
Can I get funding from Louth County Council to help manage a graveyard?
The Environment Section of Louth County Council traditionally employed some caretakers and also provides occasional small grants to a few local, community-based groups to help them to manage local graveyards, burial grounds or cemeteries.
The Heritage Council usually runs an annual community grant scheme. Due to very severe budgetary cuts over recent years The Heritage Council was not able to offer any public grants in 2013 but some grants were provided in 2014. The Heritage Council had only around €600,000 for Community Heritage Grants in 2015 and these were over-subscribed three times. The deadline for applications in 2015 was Friday 20th March. It is not yet know if there will be any community grant scheme for 2016 but information will be put up here as soon as it is made available. Click on the link below to open the grants page of the Heritage Council's website: Heritage Council website - grants section.
Heritage Council grants are available for projects under three themes: Currently these are:
Heritage Education, Communty and Outreach
If you own a building which the elected members (the councillors) have added to the 'Record of Protected Structures' (RPS) in the relevant local (County or town) development plan, you may be able to get a conservation grant from Louth County Council. Protected Structures are listed in either the county or the relevant town development plan. For further information, please contact either your local planner or Angela Dullaghan, the Louth conservation officer, on 042 939 2924 or by email at [email protected]. Grants are not normally available for buildings that are not listed on the RPS.
The Built Heritage Leverage Grants scheme ran available nationally for the first time in 2014 and was very successful. This scheme was not rerun in 2015, as the 2014 scheme was funded using receipts from the sell-off of the National Lottery. It is not yet know if there will be any Built Heritage Leverage Grant scheme for 2016 but information will be put up here as soon as it is made available
The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government runs a grant for owners of those thatched structures which are permanently lived in as primary dwellings (i.e. not pubs or holidays homes etc). For further details contact the Housing Grants Section, Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Government Buildings, Ballina, Co. Mayo. Tel: 096 24200 or Locall 1890 305030 and ask for a HA2T Memorandum and the HA1/90 Application Form.
The Heritage Council's 'Buildings at Risk' grant scheme
In previous years the Heritage Council provided annual grants for heritage buildings that are at serious risk of deterioration or loss under its 'Buildings at Risk' grant scheme. There has been no annual grant scheme since 2010, while the working of the scheme was being reviewed. Grants may be available for 2016, keep an eye on the Heritage Council's website for details. PLEASE NOTE that there is no possibility whatsoever of getting a retrospective grant for works already carried out!

1 | example_97168 | American wine writer, W. Blake Grey, recently wrote about 10 things learnt as a wine retailer. They began:
1. The wine press loves unusual varieties but consumers do not;
Match point ... South Coast team's table at the 100 Mile Challenge.
2. Most people don't care about wine-food pairing.
So this column breaks both Grey's rules, as it's about a rare grape variety and how it was voted the best wine and food match at the 100 Mile Challenge lunch, part of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival.
The wine is Westend Estate's Calabria Aglianico 2009 (pronounced allie-ann-icco), matched with succulent Riverina lamb.
The lunch was a first. At the old railway yards at Eveleigh, five teams of cooks representing five NSW regions gathered to prepare and serve three courses each to 500 diners. That's five tables with 100 diners on each. And a small table of six judges, including yours truly. The regions were South Coast, Central Ranges, Mid North Coast, Southern Highlands and Riverina.
Each region was required to source ingredients, including one or two wines to be served with each course, from within a 100-mile radius. A hell of a judging job, but someone had to do it. It was an astonishing event, if slightly chaotic at first. The thought and effort that went into each dish was monumental, the flavours created were impressive and the learning experience, especially for the many apprentices, made it worthwhile - to say nothing of the fun we all had.
ABC radio personalities, including Adam Spencer, James Valentine and Robbie Buck, acted as table spokespeople and Simon Marnie was MC.
One award was given for the best wine and food match. South Coast came close with a 2005 Coolangatta Estate Semillon from Shoalhaven Heads matched with a half lobster served on the shell with potatoes, bacon, and mayonnaise.
This region also opened our eyes with 2010 Cupitt's Viognier from Ulladulla served with lime-cured kingfish and Sydney rock oysters.
I also enjoyed the Mid North Coast's oysters, blue-eye cod and squid served with Bago Vineyards Spritzy Chardonnay from the Hastings River region.
The Central Ranges team's Small Acres Appscato Cyder from Orange, served with a pear-and-apple-based dessert, was inspired.
But the winner was clearly the aglianico, and not only because it worked so well with the Riverina lamb served three ways (spiced rack, braised shoulder in vine leaf and lamb kibbeh), but because it was a surprise. Here was a wine made from a grape variety very new to Australia, made in a food-friendly style and which ticked the regionality box in a special way. By food friendly, I mean it was medium-bodied and fruit-driven; not a try-hard wine, but natural tasting and balanced, and it had the tannin structure to go with red meats. It's regional not only because it's a local wine but because winemaker Bryan Currie went to the trouble of travelling to Italy, where he was inspired to plant aglianico at home because he realised the Riverina climate would suit it.
Aglianico is planted in the hotter, southern half of Italy and makes its most famous wine, Taurasi, in Campania. In the Riverina, as Currie says: ''Shiraz, cabernet and merlot have all been picked, fermented and pressed while the aglianico is still ripening on the vine.''
The Riverina is one of Australia's hottest and driest wine regions and is not ideal for the world's most sought-after grapes, such as chardonnay, pinot noir and sauvignon blanc. ''The southern Italian varieties are late ripening, and with their high natural acidity and tannins are perfectly suited to the Riverina's climate,'' Currie says.
Late-ripening varieties are desirable in hot climates as they ripen in the cooler autumn instead of the hot summer, and because of that they retain more flavour, aroma and acidity.
The wine, released under Westend Estate's Calabria label (it's the owners' name) is the culmination of a far-sighted program Currie initiated.
In 2003 his boss, Bill Calabria, agreed to Currie's suggestion to source, import and plant a number of quality red grapes native to southern Italy, the Calabria family's ancestral home.
Currie identified aglianico, nero d'avola, montepulciano and negroamaro - which he believed had not been planted in Australia before. He also figured they were distinctly different from the typical French-sourced varieties, with a different flavour, texture and mouth-feel than most Riverina wines. A critical factor was their late ripening. Currie travelled through southern and central Italy during the 2006 vintage.
The rest is history. And the wine is just $15 in stores, including Vintage Cellars. Someone should send a bottle to W. Blake Grey. | https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/plate-of-origin-20111112-1nchm.html | 2021/09/24 04:15:21 | mC4 |

This Clean Air Day (20 June 2019) Helen Clarkson, CEO of international non-profit The Climate Grouphighlights the vital role that business can play in leading the switch to EVs and significantly cutting air pollution:
"Electric vehicles provide a key solution in cutting air pollution globally. With businesses running over half of all new vehicles on the road*, it is critical they make the switch to EVs, and play their part in bringing down emissions and cleaning up our air.
"There are big opportunities for companies taking action – from savings on fuel and maintenance to helping future proof operations as low emissions zones are introduced globally – EVs make business sense. Investing in the switch outweighs any upfront cost.
"Already through our global EV initiative EV100, members are electrifying over two million vehicles globally. Through their investment, and influence on millions of staff and customers worldwide, businesses can significantly enhance demand. This Clean Air Day, we are calling on them to join us in helping make EVs the new normal."
Clean Air Day is the UK's largest air pollution campaign and is co-ordinated by the charity Global Action Plan. Each year hundreds of events take place across the country to raise awareness of how air pollution affects health and what can be done to tackle it. | http://flottamagazin.hu/fleetnews/helen-clarkson-ceo-the-climate-group-available-for-interviews/ | 2021/12/01 03:56:55 | mC4 |

jbacus,
Just as a heads up, this still shows up as "Use & Create� Dynamic Components the pricing page.
dynamic components.jpg542×941 56.6 KB
Plans and Pricing - Professional
I have no interest in the online version in its current form, but I do think focusing on developing the online platform is a priority. As you can see from my other posts, when we are able to actually use dynamic components with Shop, I'll sign up 5 of my coworkers for the Shop license and I'll move over to the new Pro subscription vs the Classic Pro I have now. Dynamic components make it easier to get unskilled modelers to produce useable content, assuming they are more assembling a model vs doing actual modeling. I'm thinking there are a number of industries similar to my own that aren't using SketchUp as much for 3D modeling as for layouts using their existing 3D assets.
Basically, I think you're moving in the right direction here. Have a downloaded offline option that plays nice with a more collaborative online environment. Offline for folks like me, who actually create the 3D assets and online for the folks who are more just arranging existing 3D assets or tweaking them a bit here and there.

I'm thinking there are a number of industries similar to my own that aren't using SketchUp as much for 3D modeling as for layouts using their existing 3D assets.
A very good point. In a production environment who has time to model every thing up or even wants to. This is where pre-configured components (3D assets) and extensions come in. A lot of the times you probably don't even want your unskilled workers trying to create 3D models, you can't guarantee they will be precise or full of errors.
This is the true strength of SketchUp, you can have your cake and eat it too. If you need to get into the model and create some geometry, you can easily do that unlike other architectural software. However, if you are in a production type environment you can leverage the ability to create components and plugins (API) to automate most of your tasks. This is the power of SketchUp.
Lately I've been contacted almost weekly by individuals and corporations who are looking to automate a certain task or process within SketchUp. Business is about getting things done quicker and hence with less money. There are so many industries that could potentially benefit from the automation made available by SketchUp and its API that its staggering. Here are just a few:
Structural Engineering (Steel, Concrete, Wood, Cold Formed Steel etc…)
Steel and Aluminum Weldments
I recently had the opportunity to work on a large civil project where we replaced a failing timber bridge with a new single span pre-stressed concrete bridge. The engineering company that did the bridge design had actually modeled the entire bridge and its earthwork in SketchUp. I would love to share their model but because of confidentiality issues I probably should not. After some discussion with their principal designer it became clear to me that they would benefit significantly if they could generate this geometry with a plugin versus manually drawing each bridge, allowing them to more easily try various "what if� scenarios. Who knows, there may be a future bridge plugin.
About 12 years ago I was working at a crane company in Olympia, WA. I was designing and engineering knuckle boom cranes for offshore oil rigs. I used Excel spreadsheets to completely automate the engineering portion of the design of the cranes (which was a monumental task in and of itself). The goal then was to somehow automatically generate a full 3D model of the crane geometry (steel weldments) in AutoCad or Solidworks based on this tabulated data. If I had known then what I know now about SketchUp I could have made this become a reality for this company.

I think power users need to be reminded that a lot of users, including many paying clients, use SketchUp quite casually, e.g. to design stages for photography, simple volumetric models for testing architectural ideas, testing what can be seen from a surveillance camera and the like.
If you don't need the power of plugins, then Trimble has the perfect answer. Use the cloud version.
I remember when people argued about adding new features to MacWrite in the early days saying it's simplicity is it's charm. If course it never changed and the minute MS Word and Wordperfect got on the Mac, it was doomed.
Simple is better for simple things. I think you conflate powerful features with their cost to the interface, which is certainly understandable as a SketchUp plugin developer.
SketchUp allows for only two standard interface elements for plugin developers: a button and a menuitem. So of course our toolbards get 17 rows tall!
This lack of decent integration has over the years created this "mini-app� quality to plugins. Many are modal, each with it's own interpretation of what colors buttons are, what features to expose, how to apply and exit, etc… it really is a horrendous mess by ANY UI standard.
If you want to see a much better thought out API for plugin interfaces, check out Blender. They integrate plugins much cleaner and more seamlessly, plus they already have many, many standard features, like bevels and round corners (I know you don't think they should be standard in SketchUp) as well as vertex modeling (aka Thom Thom's Vertex tools).
You have only a single font to work with and buttons are scaled per the users request. In fact you can scale the entire interface, buttons, plugins and all with a simple preferences setting.
And the code is open source, so Trimble can peek inside to learn how to actually create an interface that works for devs and users alike.
chippwalters February 19, 2019, 10:07pm #579
Edited to add: I know you're thinking "Blender, really?� And you would have a point for versions previous to 2.8. But then Blender listened to users (novel concept for Trimble), and hired some world class UI folks, and opened up an online discussion to go over proposed changes, and the result is stupendous.
This program has mostly best-in-class tech to do:
Modeling including SubD and top tier Boolean modeling AND the amazing non-destructive modifier modeling (you have to see to believe)
https://youtu.be/sDT149oycSE
Sculpting with dynamic subdivision. Ever want to add that last wrinkle to a pillow. Easy to do and all within your workflow).
Great cloth tools that work fast. And fluid simulations that are crazy easy and good!
Particles for fire, smoke, and other stuff.
Super material node editor with true deformation mapping and PBR working.
Both the unbiased photorealistic renderer, Cycles, and the realtime renderer, EEVEE. All with bloom, dof, motion blurring and more.
Animation nodes for easy and procedural scripting of an animations.
Traditional timeline editing with keyframes, spline velocity controls, multiple cameras, and more.
Full per frame compositing for color toning, image compositing, and other post effects.
A full working non-linear video editing system.
That's a ton of features, probably 100-1000x the features of SketchUp. How to attack such a UX problem? They do so by providing workspaces.
There's a workspace for modeling, one for sculpting, one for animation, etc… Once you understand this, you start to find the same commands work across all workspaces.
For instance, the G command moves selected geometry in modeling, moves selected nodes in the shader and compositor, moves selected keyframes in to the animation workspace.
The point of all of this? When you know users will be spending more than a few minutes in a program per month, you can build progressive disclosure interfaces that allow you to take on new features/functions as you're ready.
And Blender still opens 10X faster than SU on my PC. So I don't think there's an issue of bloatware. It's download size is surprisingly small-- currently 2.8 is under 130Mb

SketchUp are grown ups (they shave, drive cars, wear make-up, can dress themselves without their Mum's help, most of them at least) so they don't need to be spoon-fed what's contained within the command by the button image
As someone who shaves (on good days), I take issue with your comments!
There's a simplicity and directness to Sketchup that is at its core. It's also part of the problem. The tools are limited. I love using the program because I can go from model to output with Layout quickly and still be in direct control of the section, 3d details, etc… The program is limited as it quite handy and productive. But…my layout drawings bog down to a crawl at the end of a project and make it very difficult to meet deadlines and keep budgets… That's a problem which needs addressing NOW!

I am hopefully not being too presumptive in stating you are probably not a professional UX/UI designer. When I talk to customers and end users, I want to understand their concerns, the issues they are having. I never ask them for the solution. You conflate an easy to use interface with one that is less powerful. Not always the case.
I recently did a 3-day "teach the professors� workshop at the great Art Center in LA. The goal was to have them build a simple room, then add textures and play it back in VR. They had great computers, 6 HTC Vive stations and students (the professors) eager to learn how VR can help in the design process.
The tools I had them preload on all workstations were SketchUp and Unity, thinking this was the simplest way to do things. Wow, what a learning experience for me. Trying to get folks up and running in SketchUp, when they learned on other systems was stunning. SketchUp was extremely foreign to them! A couple of them refused and used Modo.
Those trying Sketchup would draw out a plane, then a square on the plane, then push/pull it to a cube. And then they couldn't figure out how to move the cube around on the plane because it all moved at once! I had to explain the concept of grouping ,the plane frist and the cube next, which was quite foreign.
In Blender (and most other 3d poly modelers) you add a plane, then a cube, and you just select the cube or plane and a handy gizmo shows up in it's center with arrows and you're already in move mode without having to explicitly state "I want to move something�-- as you do in SketchUp. You can also rotate or scale the object right there with the same gizmo. Much simpler. Also in SketchUp, when you add a cube or plane, they are already in Group mode. You tab into them to get into "edit� mode. At anytime you can edit the bounding size via it's properties. Just type the numbers in. That too would be nice-to-have in SketchUp as well. If you know a wall is 8' high you just type 8 into the Z field.
So, it really is what you're used to. If you have a hammer, solutions all look like nails. If a screwdriver, then screws.
I started out in AutoCad v1 a totally 2d CAD product. I got a Mac and started using a CAD product called MGMS. AutoCad had this command DIST which prompted to click on one point, then another, then it showed the resulting value in it's command line.
I mentioned to the MGMS author he needed this command. He replied we do: temporary dimensions. Click on one point then the other and a dimension line showed on the screen with the proper number. Seemed weird and different to me…then I thought about it and it was BETTER. There were the dimensions PLUS arrows and lead lines showing EXACTLY where I had clicked.
I learned a valuable lesson that day, one that I remember 30+ years later. Don't judge too fast an interface decision. Wait until you have enough time with the package. Just imagine how cool SU would be if when you clicked on an object you could instantly have a move/rotate/scale gizmo attached to it!
And then if you moved it, you could type in the VCB how far to move, just like Blender does.
PS Gizmos were invented a number of years ago and are pretty much standard UI these days in 3D. Thom thom believes so as he implemented Gizmos in his most excellent Vertex Tools. To me, it just shows how "behind the times� and extremely "long in the tooth� SketchUp has become.
AK_SAM February 20, 2019, 10:27pm #583
We are drifting off topic onto familiar debates here but it's still relevant discussion I think…(but mods feel free to split into new topic)
I wanted to give a summary of the "logic� with respect to the way SketchUp handles its extensions.
Extensions that are bundled with SketchUp Pro will not lead to cluttering of the interface…they offer toolsets that can be turned on/off just as Sandbox Tools comes turned off by default.
Bundling them however does give a few important advantages:
Making them official/supported, with quality control of the functions, interop and interface.
Less admin to manage the install/licensing/upgrade issues.
Consistency across numerous users (E.G. how cool would it be if SketchUp had an official renderer which everyone used - all the support, resources, community discussion , etc could be focussed not spread around 8 different renderers…the 'barrier to entry' to rendering would be much lower.
Trimble are already bundling VR Tools, Seifera, Trimble Connect, Dynamic Components, etc, anyway.
What is cluttering the interface is when I have all sorts of misarranged buttons doing overlapping functions; e.g.:
Sketchup's Section tool in addition to Skalp.
Sketchup's layers pallete in addition to Layer Organizer
Solid Tools plus Solid Inspector plus Architect Tools
Multiple ways to do scheduling/reporting, and none of them talk to each other (Wisext, Plot Labeller, Report Generator, Profile Builder, etc.)
Two or more materials pallets with some properties of materials edited in each.
Similar functions aren't grouped together (eg i have tools to annotate gradients, plot numbers, and various other annotations but they aren't together in an "annotations� panel)
Nothing is integrated with Entity Info (so lets say i have something with Construction Phases, I cant see that by looking at Entity Info)
So when we use SketchUp for larger/complex projects, with more sophisticated extensions ("mini-apps�), SketchUp becomes more like a series of mismatched toolsets, and is a very confusing to all.
Having lots of simple and discreet plugins is easy and fun for people who like to dabble, but (unfortunately) Pros do require consistency, integration, efficiency and reliability.
Take the 30 or so top extensions in each of the industry categories of "Architecture� "Landscape� "Heavy Civil� "Film and Stage�, etc, and bundle them as the "Architecture Pack� -make them all "official�, iron out any bugs then work on an integrated user interface that makes sense. Charge for this pack if necessary and pay a small royalty to any developer whose extension was incorporated into the pack. Match these categories to 3d warehouse categories also, and include an online materials warehouse. And a decent renderer (realtime if poss, cloud or local).
For the remaining extensions, make sure that they can be managed/deployed across users easily and efficiently (centralised, eg Adobe CC license manager). Should be easy now with subscription-based pricing, right?
Yes, yes, yes… and yes!
To clarify, I have no problem with Trimble releasing their own House Builder extension or such. I think that could be a good idea. However I don't want there too be a bunch of native (core) functionality that is only relevant for a specific field. As long as these features are implemented as extensions so they don't bother, say interior designers or set designers, I'm all in favor.
A lot of the clutter with extension seems to stem from extensions doing more than one thing, and therefore partly overlapping. What if ProfileBuilder didn't have it's own report tool, but simply wrote the relevant data to attributes using a shared protocol, say IFC. Then another extension could generate a report based on that data, and include things drawn by both ProfileBuilder and all other extensions that adhere to this standard protocol. This report extension could be maintained by Trimble, but be open source so other developers can add updates to it when needed, and of course be a standard extension replacing the current Generate Report.
I don't think the solution though is to make big industry extensions. What if someone needs a third of the tools for Set Design and half of the tools from Architecture? I suppose several tools would exist in both toolsets and having both installed would lead to a lot of duplications and clutter. What if a third party extension implements one of the functions in the Architecture toolset but does it much better so you want to use that instead? Then you'd want to get rid of the corresponding feature you already had.

Sorry, I disagree with almost everything you're continually saying. SU at the moment is a directionless mess as it appeals to everybody generally but no one specifically (without the clunky use of plug-ins)…the solution is simple; (as Sam says) bundle all the best architectural extensions together and unify them so they're genuinely integrated into SU (and talk to each other) then streamline and release a separate version of SU called something like SketchUp Architecture, but whilst keeping the original vanilla SketchUp Pro for the dabblers/interior designers/model makers etc. Job done.
Blender is such a unique project in the FOSS community, both in the scope of its aspiration and its longevity in the community. Ton should be sainted for the labor he has put into it over the years. For those who don't know the history, it is documented here in great detail .

(without the clunky use of plug-ins)…
I want to add that I don't agree with @chippwalters methods in "pressuring� SketchUp to his ideal company but even if I disagree he should speak his mind.
As the guy who sent said message, I'll go ahead and be public with my statement and clarify that this is, in fact, not what I said.
I have advised you, @chippwalters, to keep your proselytization of Blender training to our training forums. You can (and do) talk about Blender plenty, and we take no issue with that. What you were warned against was to stop interrupting topics with a cry to "abandon SketchUp� and to be civil, constructive and non-combative in the topics which you're participating. Definitely take your agenda to "move everyone from SketchUp to Blender� to SketchUcation or YouTube, that's great and certainly your prerogative.
Regarding your goals, please be aware that your desire for these things does not make others wrong for not embracing them. As has been stated in this thread many times, we don't talk about our future. We didn't do it when we were @Last, we didn't do it when we were Google, we don't do it at Trimble… you might notice, it's a trend. Just because someone else DOES talk about these things, doesn't mean we're obligated to do so.
I will offer this final statement regarding your participation in this community, if you want to help people prepare their SketchUp models for rendering in Blender, that's great. You can do that in the appropriate forum. If you want to offer constructive feedback, you can do that in the appropriate topic. Please do not use this forum as a platform to belittle this community, it's members, the software it's devoted to or the team that develops it.
I won't be responding to the private message you sent, as this seems to be where you'd prefer to discuss this, hopefully this is enough to put the matter to bed.
And yes I 100% agree that sketchup extensions are best if they are just one tool - like most of yours are. I'm guessing the reason many of the more powerful ones aren't like this is that SketchUp's core functionality seems to be a bit rigid (particularly layer organisation, scenes, entity info, reporting, etc).
We definitely want SketchUp to be universal, but also very versatile; it currently achieves "universal� by being as simple as possible (but this cause the extensions to be much more complicated, which adds cost and ultimately makes it less universal)
I'd imagine that the developers of ProfileBuilder didn't actually want to create a reporting tool - it was done out of necessity. And I'm sure they would love it if their reporting tool could interact with Meedek Wall, or Cutlist, etc. Hopefully they will back me up here
If available, I would probably install the "Industry Packs� for architecture, urban planning, landscape, civil, and maybe more - and I would expect to see an enhancement of toolsets, not duplication.
I wonder if Trimble are reading this thinking "oh great we could do this� or "nope, lets keep sketchup simple and limit the features�. | https://forums.sketchup.com/t/sketchup-in-2019-where-great-ideas-get-to-work/87199?page=29 | 2021/10/25 16:40:34 | mC4 |

0 | example_101060 | "Beloved Family of Light, it has been an intense and tumultuous few months since the Planetary New Year in July and the influx of New Light through the Stargates in July and August. These Energy Shifts have brought Change at a very Deep Level.
This Change is inevitable, for it is part of the processes of Life and Evolution. When the Earth shifted into the Fifth Dimension in December 2011, she shook off her rigid limitations of the old Third Dimensional Grids and allowed herself to re-connect with the Graceful Flow of Divine Light from the Heart of the Cosmos. This meant that every Living Being on Planet Earth was also recalibrated to this New Frequency of Accelerated Change.
Change is inevitable. It is part of the process of Life and Growth. It is the opening of a bud in Spring and the falling of the leaves in Autumn. It is the first green shoots in the snow and the richness of the summer harvest. All have their moment in Time, in the Richness and Flowering of Physical Life.
But, even beyond the natural laws of Growth and Change on Earth, there are also Changes taking places at a very deep level of Consciousness and of Creation. The New Light Codes that enter through the Stargate portals accelerate and activate energies at the atomic and subatomic levels, that we would call the "God Particles". These nano particles are the Divine Cosmic Intelligence as it manifests into Physical Reality. As these particles evolve and change, so they initiate Change at all levels of Creation.
So, Beloved Ones, we would say that Change is occuring first at a very deep level in the Fabric of Creation and in the Collective Consciousness of the Earth. But, you will also feel this Change in your Physical Bodies and in your Collective Experience as Communities.
The Physical Body and the New Reality
image by Brian Exton
As the deep shifts occur, your Physical Body will begin the process of adapting to the New Reality and the Higher Consciousness Grids. There are two processes involved here. The first is a very deep cleansing and throwing off of anything that is heavy, low frequency, toxic and limiting to you and others. You may notice your body seeking changes, in diet, exercise, sleep patterns and ways of expression. This process of "clarification" is necessary for the next step, where the body begins to "breathe light" in the Cells.
The process of "breathing light" is a Cellular Process and it occurs spontaneously in the Cells when the Body is at a High enough Frequency and ready to make the switch. At this point, the Body will derive about 50 percent of its nutrients from Light in an intracellular synthesis process, and about 50 perecent from Physical Nutrition." forts.

HelenMultiracialism & Racebeingmixed, biracial, mixedrace, multiracial, race, racialissues, talkaboutrace, talkingaboutrace14 Comments
In light of recent events, it is more important than ever to talk about race with your child. And it is even more important to talk about race with your multiracial child. When you are multiracial, then you transcend the boundaries of race, making it clear that it is never a matter of simply choosing the right box. Rather it encompasses everything from your physical appearance, how you feel about who you are, and how you are ultimately perceived by the general public.
'And when you have interracial parents, there are certain conversations that must take place that someone else wouldn't have to have. When your parents are of different races, then the question of what you are becomes blurry and confusing. If one parent is white, and another parent is black, then logically, you would be 50% black and 50% white. But unfortunately, society won't always see you that way, but instead make judgements and assumptions. Because of this, it is vital to talk about race with your multiracial child. There is a right and wrong way on how to talk about race. In this article, I want to give you the 6 do's and don'ts on how to talk about race with your multiracial child.
Let's Talk About Race: Do's and Don'ts
One thing that seems to be almost instinctive as well as habitual is this need to give things a name. When we see people, we subconsciously identify them as being of a particular race or ethnicity. But when someone doesn't quite fit the mold of a certain "look" for a race or ethnicity, then we might just classify them as an other, a foreigner, or mixed. But even those are label too with their own set of stereotypes and problems.
I believe that nothing is more damaging than giving a label. By telling them what they are, you inevitably place them into a box that they will then spend the rest of their lives trying to fit, but then find that they don't quite fit. Instead, tell your child about their heritage and where their ancestors came from. Tell your child about what you choose to identity as — whether it is a traditional racial term like 'white' or 'black' or 'human' — and then explain to them why you chose that identity. By doing this, you give them the tools that they need so that they have information. Knowledge combined with how they feel about themselves, as well as how people treat them in the world, will ultimately form the basis of their racial identity.

2. Do teach them to love themselves
More important than allowing them to choose their own label, or lack thereof, is the skill that is needed to love themselves. After all, a label is just a word, or a series of words. What is needed, no matter if the child is monoracial or multiracial, is the ability to love who they are. They need to like themselves. Furthermore, they need to love the color of their skin, hair, and eyes. They need to love who they are on the inside as well as the outside. If a child can learn to love themselves, then they can withstand anything thrown their way by everyone else.
But how can you teach a child to love themselves? I am a firm believer that a child learns best by imitation. If you love who you are, and you present certain behaviors that show that, then your child will emulate that. I also believe in the power of affirmations. Teach your child to say positive affirmations everyday, removing the negative words from their vocabulary. Teach your child to say I am beautiful, I am worthy, and I love my hair, skin, and eyes. And finally, teach your child that every person is beautiful and truly worthy.
3. Don't use stereotypes against them
One thing that can be particularly damaging to a child of mixed racial heritage is by using stereotypes against them, even if it happens subconsciously. Every race has certain stereotypes that members of society might expect people who present themselves of a certain race to exhibit. For example, people assume that all Asians are good at math. Or, people assume that blacks are athletic, strong, and violent. Even mixed race people are faced with stereotypes, such as being admired for their beauty and exoticism.
You should try not to compare your child against these preconceived racial stereotypes. Because at the end of the day, your child is a unique blend of you and your partner. Your child is not the archetype for a specific race, but his or her own person. That is why they should be allowed to forge their own path, do what interests them, and never mind the stereotypes. These stereotypes came about from ignorance and bigotry and nearly always do more harm than good.

4. Do encourage them to be themselves
Always encourage your child to be themselves. Don't let them be affected by race or even being mixed race. They are unique, as are every single person on this Earth. Since they are unique, they should be allowed to discover what they like, who they are, and where they want to go from here. Encourage them that their race, or even their presumed race, should have absolutely no bearing on that.
At the end of the day, what "race" your child is doesn't matter. Remember that race is simply a social construct. It was created by society in an attempt to understand and categorize people. There is no specific "race" gene, and the idea that certain races can appear to be "washed out" or invisible is simply not true. We are simply a combination of many genes working together, and not a single one determines what race we are. If we can teach the younger generation that race doesn't matter and what is more important is how the individual acts, then maybe we might have a chance at eliminating racism for good.

5. Don't treat them like everyone else
This one goes hand-in-hand with tip number 3. Even though it is important that you don't let your child be defined by stereotypes, you should not treat them like everyone else. Remember that your child is a unique individual. You child is not just another mixed race kid. There is more to your child than what he or she appears like from the outside. Recognize, cultivate, and help your child hone their many talents and skills so they can become the person who rises above everyone's assumed notions of them.
By doing this, you also set them up for future success. By not comparing them against other kids of a similar race, or background, you are emphasizing that race or ethnicity doesn't matter. In the end, it is who you are on the inside, how you treat people, and who you ultimately choose to be that makes all the difference.
6. Do introduce them to role models
It can be damaging to be exposed to a media in which there is no representation. It can affect you self esteem when you turn on the TV or surf the Internet and see people who have physical attributes that are nearly impossible to attain. And it is even more damaging when these physical attributes are being marketed as the epitome of beauty. Because then it suggests that those who don't have those physical attributes are somehow less than, or ugly and inferior.
So, do introduce your child to a variety of role models. Show your child pictures of celebrities and influencers who have a variety of different skin colors and other physical attributes, as well as different backgrounds. By giving your child representation, you are suggesting that you don't have to be of a certain race to be successful. Furthermore, you are giving them role models to look up to, as a source of inspiration. Personally, growing up half Korean, I relished in pictures of celebrities who were also half-Korean. It made me feel not so alone or different, knowing that there were others like me. And knowing that I wasn't the only one who was biracial gave me a sense of purpose and renewed wisdom to keep reaching for the stars to perhaps one day be as successful as them.

Really loved your insights and perspectives on this topic. We live in a diverse society, and it is important to tell children while they are still young, like yours, to embrace their identity and culture. As my two sons, now grown, are part hispanic and white, this topic came up. My then-wife taught them Spanish at an early age, and it is important for them to love themselves, that they are special and unique individuals. Posted this on Facebook. Well-done, Helen!
yes self love is so important. thabkyou for reading and sharing
Excellent post and perspective. I'm the mother of a biracial (Black/White) child and we began our conversations about this when he was 3. He asked me, "If you're brown and daddy is pinkish, what am I?" We talked about biracial identity in preschool terms. Hours later, in line at a grocery store, he excitedly yelled out, "Me know! Me beige-ish!" Not the takeaway I expected from our earlier conversation, but it was a beginning for many, more complex, conversations throughout the years. He's now 27, and one day will be having these talks with his own child.
Hi! I love the simplified way that kids see 'race'
I often wonder if we didn't talk about race and we didn't divide people by race… then would we just see people the same way that a 3 year old would see people. After all, race is a concept that is taught. We aren't born with the knowledge that we are white /black/asian after all
So true! Race is a made-up concept not based on or supported by science. Lovely post😊
I found this really interesting, I love reading about things that I have never experienced. Blog posts like yours can help raise awareness of topics like this. Although I will never fully understand, it gives me an insight should I ever find myself in this situation. It is also useful to have this insight as a teacher, mentor or colleague of a multiracial person x
Thanks! Yes it is always interesting to learn about other people's perspectives.
We talk about race in the same breath and diversity of body types, interests, religion, gender, economic situation and social or family circumstances – it's all a rich spectrum and each individual's particular skills are valuable. We talk about privilege at the same time, so the boys hopefully don't take for granted their white, settled, affluent, well-educated, english-speaking luck.
Hi! Good point– it is a good idea to keep talking about these issues no matter what race or ethnicity we are. Only by talking can we open the way for clear communication to a better, higher road. Hopefully.
Awesome post! I'm biracial myself and it's always been a struggle when I was growing up trying to explain to my friends and strangers who I am and how I identify myself. Hearing things like, "are you adopted?", "why are you brown when your mom is white?", and other questions really irritated me when I was younger. Back then, I felt as though I didn't see a whole lot of people on tv or in movies that were mixed like me. Thankfully, my parents were very good at ensuring I knew I was mixed, how there was nothing wrong with that, and how I was loved.
That's awesome ! I've experienced the same thing as you that you described — and it's hard. I totally get it.
And I agree with you that as long as the mixed race child feels happy in their skin and is comfortable in their skin — then everything will be okay & they will love themselves for they are and will rise above what society says. And that is as much as we can do. | https://crispyconfessions.com/how-to-talk-about-race-with-your-multiracial-child/ | 2021/09/23 11:20:23 | mC4 |
0 | example_101869 | Hotline calls and emails to report suspected Japanese tsunami debris have gone way down this year. But West Coast states are still keeping their guard up in case another wave of flotsam from the 2011 disaster washes up on our shores.
In 2012, there was a surge of tsunami debris sightings from Oregon to Alaska. This year, the volume of calls to Washington and Oregon's marine debris hotlines have dwindled -- in the case Oregon down to an average of one per day.
Drift models run by the federal ocean science agency NOAA suggest tsunami debris remains widely scattered across this end of the Pacific. Winter storms could blow some more of it on shore.
"With more winds coming directly from the west pushing onshore, we should see a spike in debris. That happens every winter," explains Oregon State Parks associate director Chris Havel. "We see more debris in the winter because there is trash out in the ocean. Even before the tsunami there was trash."
"We really can't predict how much or exactly where and when," adds Seattle-based NOAA marine debris coordinator Nir Barnea.
Havel and Barnea applaud volunteer beach cleanup groups for doing an effective job. Both men say it is soon time "to move on" to address floating trash in general as an ongoing problem.
Powerpoint slides presented by Barnea on Thursday to Oregon's Joint Tsunami Debris Task Force show relatively few confirmed pieces of Japanese tsunami flotsam have washed up on the Washington and Oregon coasts since the March 2011 disaster.
Havel says it's tough to be sure what trash stems from the tsunami and what came from elsewhere. He sometimes makes educated guesses based on Japanese writing or markings on distinctive pieces of construction debris or fishing gear.
Based on that, Havel estimates "anywhere from zero... to 10 to 50 percent" of the flotsam on Oregon Coast beaches was washed to sea by the Japanese tsunami.

The pandemic and racial tension in the United States popularized this name to refer to a stereotype of a woman who believes herself superior to others. This pejorative nickname used to denounce acts of racism, and bad citizen behavior has its opponents, who consider it misogynistic. In Colombia, it can be compared to "Don't you know who I am?"
It is becoming more and more common to see videos on social networks of women screaming or making a panic scene because their interlocutor is from a racial minority or points out a violation. These videos of them insulting, threatening, and asking for help have made the 'Karen' stereotype fashionable, popularized in memes and comic routines.
'Karen' is a stereotype of a white woman, middle-aged, middle or upper class, superficial or hollow, and she often commits discriminatory acts in public against blacks, Latinos, Asians, or any other minority. Generally, she sees them as a threat to her physical integrity and uses her social status to win the favor of the authorities by pointing them out unfairly. During the pandemic, the 'Karen' has been given the characteristic of being against any measure to control the spread of the coronavirus. The name also serves to refer to those people who, by their social status, believe that they can do whatever they want.
'Karen' is not a new concept. Historians of popular culture draw attention to common stereotypes to characterize women who behave in this way in recent decades. In the eighties and nineties, they used the name Becky to describe a white woman, blissfully ignorant and unaware of the status her race affords her. She believes that she is not racist because she has black colleagues at work or because she hires a Mexican gardener, although she dislikes his habits and culture. It's still confusing to know when 'Karen' came about. Some claim that the term comes from an American comedian who said in 2007 that "we all have a friend named Karen, and we are ashamed. "
Others think it is the evolution of a cliché that existed a few years ago, in which a blonde woman with short hair and bangs says, "May I speak to the manager?" to demonstrate their class superiority. But this year, the Black Lives Matter movement has used 'Karen' to denounce racism. It also serves to point out the ignorance of a certain sector of Americans about COVID-19.
Many have found it funny or useful to name the 'Karen' to denounce racism. But feminists, in addition to being pejorative, consider the word misogynistic and sexist. For them, there are many videos of men doing the same things as the 'Karen,' and there is no name to identify them. They also argue that 'Karen' is related to a way of seeing women as the only ones who star in scenes of hysteria.
This has been one of the most famous and probably the one that made the term viral. In this episode, Amy Cooper, a white woman walking her dog through Central Park, called the police because, allegedly, a black man was threatening her. The man was Christian Cooper, who only claimed him because the dog was not on a leash. Thanks to the fact that the man was recording, the event went viral, and people verified that it was a false complaint. Amy Cooper was fired from her job and faced charges for false reports. This case occurred the same day George Floyd was murdered.
She became known when she had an altercation with a barista at a Starbucks in San Diego. The employee, of Hispanic origin, told her that he could not attend her if she did not put on a mask, to which the woman responded with shouts and insults and recorded the episode to denounce the barista. The video went viral, but against her, because people did not hesitate to call her 'Karen.' Later, on social networks, they promoted a petition to ban him from any Starbucks.
This woman was also rebuked and recorded for not wearing a mask. The person who filmed it was Heather Sprague, a cancer patient. Hunter, upon being exposed, decided to deliberately cough into the other woman's face. The video served for the authorities to arrest her.

A bombing by the United States today killed the powerful Iranian general Qasem Soleimani , head of the Quds Force of the Guardians of the Revolution, the entity in charge of the foreign operations of the Islamic Republic. The attack raised global alarm over rising regional tensions and calls for "revenge" from Tehran.
The airstrike took place early today (local time) near the access to the Baghdad airport, after General Soleimani got off his plane and got into a car with other people, said a senior Iraqi security official. The Iranian commander came from Lebanon or Syria.
The bodies of Soleimani and Al-Muhandis were destroyed, according to official sources. A high-ranking politician pointed out that the general was identified thanks to a ring.
The origin of the attack on Iran
Last Tuesday and Wednesday, pro-Iranian militiamen stormed the US embassy in Iraq after a bombing by Washington forces on the Kataeb Hezbollah militia , founded by Muhandis, which left 25 dead.
The attack is part of the growing tensions between the United States and Iran. Tehran shot down a US military drone and detained oil tankers last year, while the United States blames Iran for several attacks on tankers, as well as a September attack on the Saudi Arabian oil industry that caused a temporary reduction in production. to the half.
The tensions stem from Trump's decision in May 2018 to withdraw the United States from the nuclear deal between the Islamic Republic and world powers during the administration of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama.
Who died in the attack on Qasem Soleimani?
The main target of the attack was the powerful 62-year-old General Qasem Soleimani, one of Iran's most popular figures and a feared adversary of the United States and its allies.
Soleimani, head of the Quds Force, was the key man of Iranian influence in the Middle East, where he reinforced Tehran's diplomatic weight, especially in Iraq and Syria, two countries where the United States is militarily involved.
Also killed in the operation was Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, deputy commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces (FMP), a paramilitary group backed by Tehran.
Jamal Jaafar Ibrahimi, his real name, was the number two of Hashd Al Shaabi, a pro-Iranian paramilitary coalition that is part of the Iraqi state apparatus and that led the assault on the US embassy this week. He was known by the name of Al-Muhandis (engineer in Arabic) and was Soleimani's advisor and friend.
The successor of Qasem Soleimani
The Iranian Supreme Guide today appointed Esmail Qaani as the new head of the Al Quds force. Ayatollah Khamenei described Qaani, until now deputy head of the Al Quds Force, as "one of the most decorated commanders" of the Guardians of the Revolution, the Iranian ideological army, since the war between Iran and Iraq (1980-1988) . | http://www.chathamnewsandrecord.com/author/steve-c/ | 2021/01/25 03:52:02 | mC4 |
0 | example_105810 | t Rosethorn Manor-we work hard and we play hard. While I admit, I do on occasion love the punch of brisk and sweet southern tea on a roasting day, I normally cannot consume things so sweet.
In our house my husband, son and I all three have different tastes when it comes to tea….kind of like the three bears, which is why the second house wine in line is Herbal Sun Tea (this is actually a tisane, however for the sake of common generality we will use them interchangeably). There are certain flavors this pagan girl craves in the summer heat and it is mint and lemon and nothing better fills that craving as fresh herbs from the garden. This spring we have been especially lucky to have my four favorite tea herbs of sweet mint, lavendar, lemon balm and sage already showing growth and ready to use.
All four of these herbs, along with chamomile, make a healing sun brew that can be consumed all summer. I have the particular challenge of dealing with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and the combination of these herbs go a long way in helping deal with the symptoms while also aligning my body with the healing energies of earth and sun. This particular tea is good for all women whether you have female ailments or just want a healthy healing concoction for your lovely bodies.
Tisane herbs from the gardens of Rosethorn Manor
Lemon balm has a refreshingly bright lemon flavor and is a feminine herb known for its association with the Melissa-Priestess of Bees. It works to balance the hormones and boost circulation as well as acting as an anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal; it reduces cancer cell size, lifts depression and aids in menstrual discomfort. Its sedative properties reduce anxiety and stress and gives the tea a soft smooth quality.
Sage has a sharp pungent flavor (so I go easy on this in the tea and adjust the flavor accordingly). It is related to the rosemary plant and has anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant properties. It is beneficial for bones, brain, skin and the immune system.
Lavender is an amazing all round feminine super herb that I use in every area of my life cooking, cleaning, healing and spell working. Definitely one of my herbal totems and allies. As a tea it reduces stress and anxiety, aid in sleep and relaxation while still keeping the mind present, it reduces the pain of cramps and calms the overall system working as an antibiotic, antiseptic, disinfectant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. A wonderful ally with endless uses.
Mint, in general, is a cooling herb that tastes amazing and is known to help reduce testosterone. Spearmint, in particular, is known to decrease androgen levels and reduce the levels of free testosterone in the blood, which is especially important if you have PCOS. Mint is a digestive and anti-oxidant and serves to lift depression as well as combat some cancers and clear the mind.
Chamomile has antipeptic, antispasmodic, antipyretic, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-allergenic and serves to soothe the body inside and out as well as aid in sleep.
I also like to add stinging nettle when in season and fennel seed which is wonderful for the female systems. I used to use hops from our vine outside the front door, however, I have learned that hops contain high levels of phytoestrogens which are not good for me. For most women it can be a lovely addition to their tea blend, however, if you have PCOS, make sure to check your hormone panel to see if you are high or low in your estrogen.
Feminine Balancing Herbal Sun Tisane recipe
1 large handful of Chamomile or 6 Chamomile tea bags (while I grow chamomile I really love the flavor of Celestial Seasonings Honey Chamomile)
3-4 sprigs Lavendar
1 large handful of Lemon Balm
House Wine II Herbal Tisane
1 large handful of Mint -though flavor-wise I go easy on the Spearmint as its pretty strong
1-2 large springs of culinary Sage
Place all the herbal darlings into a 1 gallon glass jug or sun tea pitcher (not plastic) and place out in the sun for the day.
I do sweeten with honey at times, however, I do this last because it will start to ferment on the occasion you forget it. When it’s really hot out I will leave the tea out overnight to bathe in the full moon when she is out and just generally cool down before placing in the fridge. Though you will want to have two pitchers because as soon as one is made it will be drank and another needs to be brewing.
Blessed (Bee) and Enjoy the Season of Sun Tea Brewing!

Carbon Footprints and Mindful Consumerism

Do you know what your carbon footprint or pollution rate is? If you don’t, you should find out and there are several websites that are helpful in determining this based on your lifestyle. This blog spot came about as a result of conversations with coven members and attendances at past pagan events. As Pagans and Witches we know-or should know, about environmental issues, waste and recycling, the acres of debris choking our oceans and its effects on our sacred lands.
Carbon footprints (or shall we call them troll prints) and pollution go hand in hand. It has been a long standing problem starting in the Industrial Age and has snowballed out of control. From what I have seen it seems that many people see an issue aired on Oprah or in a magazine and get up in arms. For a while that may affect some change, but it’s never consistent or long enough. I’m not saying that every little bit doesn’t help, however if lasting change is going to happen it has to be built on responsible lifestyle choices all of the time, even when these choices are not convenient.
As pagans we recognize the earth is sacred, what we do to her, we in turn do to ourselves. We are quite literally, in every way made up of atoms from the earth and through the elements we are linked to the web and life force of our planet. With this sacred bond also comes the understanding that we are connected to all life on this planet, whether it be elemental, human, or animal, “fur, feather, scale and skin-different without but the same within”. When one is highly attuned to this web we know the joys and beauty of the network as well as the very physical pain that comes with pollution.
The degradation and pollution of our planet is consistently a topic among my pagan friends as we try to solve it for ourselves and see where we are responsible through our life choices for helping or hindering the war on pollution. One of the biggest factors is understanding our personal relationships with deity and how we see ourselves in relation to what is going on around us, how do our actions and waste effect our environment?
Through the years I have come up with many things I do to take responsibility for my family and our carbon/pollution footprint. One of the major ones, of course, is to recycle. However, it is taking it one step further and buying products that use the least amount of packaging and required the least of a footprint to produce. I do not have a lot of landfill waste; however I did look at the contents of my recycled plastic and aluminum. I made lists of the most often consumed item and then chose to can or make those that I could such as the basics, mixes, as well as chili, soup, pizza sauce, root beer, even Irish cream, etc. I save and purchase everything from pastas and nuts to teas and spices in bulk. It all takes time and is a project of organizing your home and pantry to make it work. As a single parent ‘doing it all’ time is something I have very little of it. I don’t necessarily want to be ‘doing’ all of the time, but as I said it’s a lifestyle and a choice that is responsible for less waste. I compost food waste for the garden and shred much of my paper in a shredder to compost so it’s not being burned and wasted.
As a pagan, I go through a lot of candles and incense. I keep all my candles that I use for Sabbats wrapped up and labeled so that they can be used the following year if they don’t burn all the way down, if I need a new altar cloth in the past, I wait till the material is on sale or do without. I make sure to buy quality and have enough now that I shouldn’t need to buy those for a very long time. I take all my incense powder in the bottom of bags and boxes and keep it in an old baby food jar. I use this to make my own incense or add to spell workings. I grow as many of my own vegetables and herbs as I can-of course aided by my compost. I have found that it is important to think about every item I purchase in terms of what it took to make it and what waste it will be in the end. I also made a deal with myself that I wouldn’t bring something into my house if it didn’t have a use. I want beauty and function and if I bring something in, something goes out. Quality over quantity. There has been a movement to try and stop waste by having people ask themselves how much do you need, what do you need versus want? Yet it seems to me when I look around that people will rationalize a want into a need, so it only partially cuts down on waste. I’ve heard people say that everything they have is needed. Is that really true? I read an article wherein a man suggested that people, ‘RETHINK ESSENTIALS’. It makes much more sense to buy only what you need. Anyone can rationalize a want. But ‘rethink essentials, ‘ I think, says it all.
A few years ago I joined thousands of other people and spent 18-months buying no new consumables except food. (I did draw the line at undergarments, but everything else was used). You know, it wasn’t really that hard and it does a good job of pointing out your own impulse buying or the rationale ‘I just have to have that’. I did do without some things, however there was nothing that was really missed in the end. I remember going out with some friends and one forgot the camera at home. What did they do? Went and bought a disposable. How about taking responsibility for the fact that you forgot it and must do without? We see this all the time in the need for the latest gadgets and junk. If one really requires that stuff in his/her life maybe priorities need to be rethought. What is each person willing to do without somewhere else in order to offset that gadget or technology? It is said that one should plan for seven generations ahead of you. When people try to rationalize to me their choices I have to ask why? Would one not feel shame at the lack of responsibility in terms of one’s own relationship with the Earth and Deity and future generations?
As Pagans I think it is time that we rethink our essentials by being mindful of every single item that is brought into our homes and the waste that leaves it. If the Earth is our Mother, then what are we doing? I go to events or pagan gatherings and find myself scratching my head as I look around and see the waste. Being a pagan and a witch means living an integrous and morally responsible life day in and day out. It is doing the work within to know who we are as people, thereby knowing what drives our needs, our wants and our triggers. It is knowing what is going on in the world around us, educating ourselves and having our voice heard by how we spend our dollars.
We must ask ourselves: would we treat our Mothers the way we treat the earth? Would we bring the mess of junk into our mother’s home or discard the junk there or waste her resources with such disrespect? If you were to look around your home and/or property does what you see bring honor to your spirit, honor to the spirit in which you practice, honor to your relationship with Deity? What do you think? How do you help or hinder? What do you do to consume mindfully and take responsibility? I would love to hear what your experience has been or what you have done to lessen your carbon footprint.

With a new episode every Tuesday, the fans just can't get enough of watching their favorite recurring characters, especially since all hong kong phooey characters have come back for more adventures. Here are some of the most popular characters in the popular Hong Kong Phooey series:
Hong Kong phooey the spot is the sweet little kitty who stars on the show. He's an orphan whose loyal, loving owner, Mrs. Watson, gives him the nickname "Spot." Due to his gentle nature and non-speaking manner, Spot frequently finds himself the center of attention, which is what makes him the perfect companion for one of the many Scooby-Doo Team members. The voice of this particular character is extremely distinctive. He has a smooth, high-pitched voice that pops off of every syllable. His squeaky voice also adds to his charm as a character. Many people compare the smooth-talking character of the show to the famous hamster, hong kong phooey episodes Broomco. The first of the popular Hong Kong Phooey characters to make an appearance on television was Bo Peep. He is the owner of a small ship called the Night Hurry, along with his friend Pipsqueak (Penny) and a giant, mischievous crab named Launchpad. Bo is a fan of all things nighttime, and he owns several lamps that illuminate the night sky. The name of the hong kong phooey song is "I'm a Believer," from the album titled, "How I Live Now."

The majority of the actors and actresses in the shows are actually American, and their accents give them the ability to overcome the language barrier that is hong kong phooey intro present in the Asian countries they come from. The unique accents also help them in displaying the different emotions that they are trying to show on the screen, as well as enhancing their dialogue.

0 | example_20030 | The Heart Changer- a mid grade novel {a review} | Quiet In The Chaos
Our family (my oldest child in particular) enjoys learning through historical fiction; we have been reading a wonderful Biblical fiction book from Jarm Del Boccio, titled The Heart Changer.
The paperback is 116 pages, with a glossy cover and thick, bright white pages.
The Heart Changer opens with a poem, The Master Weaver, and closes with a beautiful note from the author.
The fictional details of a true account in the Bible bring meaning to what may have been happening to a young girl behind-the-scenes; her life story may seem almost insignificant at first glance, but The Heart Changer is a book that helps dive a little deeper to see God's hand at work in this famous Old Testament story.
This is the story of a young Israelite girl and the heartache she endures, the losses she experiences, and the changes she goes through. Much like our every day lives, Mirriam has no idea that the Lord's plans for her life far exceed the angst and tragedy she has endured thus far. Torn from her family during an attack and chosen to serve the family in charge of destroying her village, Mirriam must overcome these obstacles (and more) in order to fulfill God's victorious plan for her life, and those she will impact.
We hear Mirriam's dialogue as she talks to God, wonders about Him, his authority, and his will. We watch as her heart changes from almost rebellious against The All Powerful One (because He could have stopped everything bad from happening) to one of love, understanding, and faithfulness.
She comes to realize, through the people Jehovah has placed in her life, that He is A God that Sees.
He sees her, her family's situation, and all along had a plan of redemption.
I will say, seeing some favorite people from the Old Testament emerge in this book was exciting!
What We Think and How We Used It
My almost 9 year old, third grade daughter read The Heart Changer front to back in the course of a day and couldn't put it down! We talked about what Biblical fiction means, in relation to history, and fact vs fiction. She enjoyed comparing this fictional book to the Bible's Old Testament book, used as the base of the story.
We also used the free Teacher's Guide (provided on the book's page) to open some discussion, and learn more about life surrounding the story. The what's in a name activities were the most fun- we looked up the Biblical characters' names, our family names, and the different names of God. We enjoyed finding where those names are found in Scripture, and how they're used differently. The Teacher's Guide offers other activities and recipes that can be made together.
This book is lovely, and has been a blessing to our family. It would make a perfect gift for a young (or old) person in your life-it is suitable for ages 7+, easy to follow the story line, and full of surprises.
