Ann Voskamp’s the wife of one fine, down-to-earth farmer; a book-reading mama to a posse of seven; and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Greatest Gift and Unwrapping the Greatest Gift, and the sixty-week New York Times bestseller One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, which has sold more than one million copies and has been translated into more than eighteen languages.
Named by Christianity Today as one of fifty women most shaping culture and the church today, Ann knows unspoken brokenness and big country skies and an intimacy with God that touches wounded places. Millions do life with her at her daily photographic online journal, one of the Top 10 most widely read Christian websites: www.annvoskamp.com
New York Times best-selling author Ann Voskamp sits at the edge of her life and all of her own unspoken brokenness and asks: What if you really want to live abundantly before it’s too late? What do you do if you really want to know abundant wholeness? This is the one begging question that’s behind every single aspect of our lives — and one that The Broken Way rises up to explore in the most unexpected ways.
This one’s for the lovers and the sufferers. For those whose hopes and dreams and love grew so large it broke their willing hearts. This one’s for the busted ones who are ready to bust free, the ones ready to break molds, break chains, break measuring sticks, and break all this bad brokenness with an unlikely good brokenness. You could be one of the Beloved who is broken — and still lets yourself be loved.
You could be one of them, one who believes freedom can be found not only beyond the fear and pain, but actually within it.
You could discover and trust this broken way — the way to not be afraid of broken things. -From the Publisher

Hey lovelies! How was your weekend?
A few days ago I had some great coupons at CVS so I grabbed a few things I'd been eyeing (a few more reviews coming soon!) and the new pink shades from L'Oréal have been calling my name! The only other lipstick from L'Oréal I own is Fairest Nude and I really love it so I wanted to try a few more.
I got two shades from the new pink collection: Wisteria Rose and I Pink You're Cute.
Same packaging as the others, I've always liked the look of these.. Classy and Simple.
Left - I Pink You're Cute & Right - Wisteria Rose
Unfortunately, as with the other Color Riche lipsticks - these smell terrible in the tube. But thankfully, you don't smell it at all once it's on.
Right - Wisteria Rose, Left - I Pink You're Cute
These feel very lightweight on the lips and the pigmentation is nice. They are definitely buildable, the swatches above are only a few swipes each but both can be worn very lightly if you don't want a big punch of color. I love the shades and I think I'm going to pick up more!
Cutest name ever! :-D
Sorry for the terrible lip swatch, I slapped in on quickly to get a picture while I was getting ready to head out for the day. It's a bit lighter in person! A barbie pink, really pretty but may not look good on every skin tone.. I think I'm a bit too pale for it so it'll be one I layer with other lipstick shades or under a gloss.
I love this color. It's gorgeous! It looks deeper in the tube but once it's applied, it's very bright and vibrant, it builds up really well.
In this picture I have Wisteria Rose on first, with I Pink You're Cute layered over it to lighten the color up a bit.
I didn't have a problem with these feathering or migrating outside the line; I didn't wear a lip liner underneath. The longevity of these lipsticks aren't amazing, they didn't hold up well through a meal for me but I'm not one that minds reapplying lipstick throughout the day.. Especially ones that are so lightweight! I actually enjoy applying these, they are smooth and creamy and so lightweight - it feels like you have nothing on. If you own any of the older Color Riche shades, the formula is the same so you'll know what to expect... I love them! :)
Price ranging from $5.99 at Target & Walmart to $9.49 at the drugstores (Ulta is a bit cheaper than CVS, Rite Aid & Walgreens)

The Hallmark Approach to Employee Engagement
Just like Hallmark enhances relationships in people’s personal lives, we’re here for the work world, too. Our employee recognition program makes it easy to say thanks or congratulations, to put a spotlight on achievements or to celebrate personal occasions, life events, holidays and milestones. The end results are stronger connections, greater appreciation and more pride in your workforce and your business.
Be quick with a compliment and send a card or eCard in a moment’s notice from your laptop, desktop or mobile device, 24/7. It’s easy, and the single sign-on functionality also makes it secure and quick to recognize in record time, even when you’re on the go.
Gauge use, view redemption and more with a dashboard tool that analyzes and reports the impact and performance of your employee recognition program. Simple to use and access, our solution keeps you informed and in control of every aspect of your engagement efforts for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
Our portal and platform solutions are easily integrated and enable personalized, company-wide usability while reflecting your brand look and message. You can quickly align, scale and adjust your program to fit your needs at any time while enjoying enhanced and dynamic admin ease for more efficient program management.
Award Certificates & Gift Cards
Enhance the moment even more with an award certificate or gift card to honor or reward an outstanding achievement. Mail or email personalized certificates to commemorate an event and reward employees with a gift card that allows them to choose from hundreds of redemption options. Both solutions make your recognition efforts more memorable, impactful and appreciated.
Make one-to-one a win-win.
Hallmark helps you make your employee recognition more personal, which makes it more appreciated and yields greater engagement, respect and performance.
- Hallmark tradition—we have over 100 years of fostering sincere, authentic connections between people.
- Personalized perfectly—we can help you create a unique expression of your gratitude for the greatest recognition impact.
- Quality speaks well of you—Hallmark is instantly recognized and our products are expertly designed to make your message more meaningful.
Keep group recognition personal and meaningful.
When you need to send a large amount of announcements or greetings, being efficient, organized and timely makes good business sense. But we believe that sincerity, authenticity and emotion never have to be compromised just because you need to connect with 100 or 1,000 people. Hallmark excels at making the one-to-many connection more meaningful for you and for them.
- Personalized in a big way—unique designs, handwritten fonts, seamless incorporation of your brand elements and more make your communications more meaningful.
- Automated ease—set up a calendar schedule of events and your employee recognition cards will be automatically sent out on time.
- Data security—we keep your lists and information safe and actively protected.
- Cards and eCards—easily use the greeting card format that best suits your business need without compromising design quality or emotional impact.
- Mail service at your service—let us take care of addressing and sending your cards and eCards.
Motivate and reward by giving a Hallmark experience.
Your employees want engagement. Interactions, feedback, acknowledgement and recognition provide validation that their contribution to your business is truly valued. We make it possible to meaningfully connect with employees and co-workers through the power of Hallmark employee recognition.
Actively engaging your employees creates a work culture that fosters greater success. Hallmark award certificates, greeting cards and gift card incentives strengthen your efforts by creating moments that are more memorable for recipients.
What defines a good work culture?
For employees, it’s respect, communication and personal acknowledgement of their value, especially from managers. In a word, relationships.
Many companies aspire to create this culture, but with the pace of today’s business, they’re unable to create a systematic and sustainable method of getting there. So, how do you enhance your work culture, foster stronger connections and ultimately help your business thrive?
Let Hallmark help.
All we do is rooted in our respect for and deep understanding of people. It drives our mission to enrich lives. It inspires the creation of products and solutions that help people celebrate victories, pull together in times of adversity and forge the bonds that lead to happier, more productive lives.
Better than anyone else, Hallmark’s employee recognition solutions help you tell your employees how important they are. And our technology makes it convenient for you to do it 24/7 while gauging the progress and analyzing the impact of those connections throughout the organization.
“The gift cards give the employee more choices. With the diverse work force we have, many different choices are an additional positive with this program.”
Manager, Fortune 100 financial institution
Hallmark connections build better work cultures.
For your employees, being personally acknowledged or recognized validates their contribution to your business and value amongst their fellow employees. It instills a “My work matters” mentality that is often reflected in attitude and performance. Hallmark helps you help them feel more connected to your company, their work and the goals of your business.
For managers, we help you strengthen the connections that grow confidence, understanding and respect among all within a company. Whether it’s one-to-one acknowledgement of a career milestone or personal accomplishment or a one-to-many celebration of achievement or holiday wishes greeting card, our employee recognition solutions foster emotional connections and reinforce a feeling of purpose for employees, especially among Millennials.
The end results are increased loyalty, greater pride, higher engagement and increased productivity that deliver successful outcomes for you, your employees and your business.
Your solution for more engaged employees.
Recognizing, thanking and celebrating employees creates a work culture that benefits everybody in your business. Hallmark employee recognition solutions enable you to connect with employees in a personal and meaningful way that ultimately fosters pride, performance, value, advocacy and retention so your businesses and your employees thrive.
When you choose Hallmark, you make a statement about what your company values. Quality. Efficiency. And of course…people first.

Who are you?
Joe Fiely, operating partner, wine director of Joe’s Imports, sommelier, wine-lover and traveler.
How long have you been in the neighborhood?
Joe’s Imports has been in the West Loop for a few months, since mid-February 2019. Look out for our bistro-like patio soon!
Why the West Loop?
Our Francesca’s Restaurant Group owner, Scott Harris, had Glazed & Infused Doughnut Shop right here, and the space opened up. We agreed that an intimate wine bar with great food was absolutely perfect for this hot neighborhood.
What are your top challenges in growing your business?
Reading people’s needs, understanding what people want and PARKING!

What gets you up in the morning?
Bubbles! And… the responsibility to run a restaurant and “turning people on” or changing people’s lives—hearing someone say, “Wow, I never thought I’d like pink wine”.
What’s your favorite part of the West Loop?
Brunch at The Publican, Liz Pierce’s cocktails at Aba, oysters at Swift & Sons, the list goes on and on.
What does Joe's Imports' future look like?
Turning people onto wines they’ve never had before, and that moment of relating food with wine to understand the relationship between the two.

Rail passengers' travel time use in Great Britain
Full project title: Rail passengers' travel time use in Great Britain - a comparison between 2004 and 2010
Sponsor: Faculty of Environment and Technology, University of the West of England
Project manager: Professor Glenn Lyons
Start date: June 2010
Finish date: September 2011
In 2004 the Centre for Transport and Society (CTS) undertook a major study into ‘travel time use in the Information Age’. As part of this it designed a series of questions relating to travel time use for inclusion in the Autumn 2004 National Rail Passenger Survey. The results of this have been published and widely cited – see Lyons, G., Jain, J. and Holley, D. (2007). The use of travel time by rail passengers in Great Britain. Transportation Research, 41(A), 107-120.
In 2010 CTS was successful in securing inclusion of some of these questions again in the Autumn 2010 National Passenger Survey. Accordingly this project, with support from UWE in terms of internally funded staff time, has sought to obtain insights into rail passengers' travel time use in 2010 and to provide a comparison of findings between 2004 and 2010.
Two full papers reporting and discussing the findings have been completed. A summary paper is available.
Empirical evidence is presented based on sample sizes of 22,866 and 19,715 for 2004 and 2010 respectively. Questions examine how rail passengers spend their time, how worthwhile they consider their time use to be, the extent of advance planning of their time use and how equipped for time use they are in terms of the items they have to hand when they travel.
The results reveal a consistent dominance of reading for leisure, window gazing and working/studying as favoured travel time activities. Over the six year period availability and use of mobile technologies has increased – in some cases very substantially. Listening to music in particular has doubled in its incidence suggesting an increasing capacity for travellers to personalise the public space of the railway carriage.
Most notably the analysis reveals a substantial increase in identification of positive utility of rail travel time – the proportion of travellers overall making very worthwhile use of their time has gone up by a quarter; meanwhile compared to 2004 there has been a 37% reduction in the proportion of business travellers indicating their time on the train was wasted. The study draws attention to the significance of such survey findings to the ongoing debate concerning how travel time and in turn travel time savings are valued in economic appraisal. This is pertinent to the UK at present as it considers the case for multi-billion pound investment in high speed rail.
A presentation of the findings was delivered at the CTS “Symposium on travel time use, value and experience” on 15 June 2011.
A submission of evidence has also been made on request to the House of Commons Transport Select Committee for its Inquiry into High Speed Rail. | <urn:uuid:f9ba1490-1603-4f76-9ce3-3345a8223a81> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www1.uwe.ac.uk/et/research/cts/researchprojects/thetravelenvironment/railpassengertraveltimeuse.aspx | 2019-06-18T06:37:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998690.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618063322-20190618085322-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.951097 | 586 | [

Story by Jacob Young / Staff Writer | Photo by Brent Beerends / MT Athletics
Middle Tennessee (3-8-1, 1-4 C-USA) soccer dropped its fourth straight game Friday night in a 1-0 loss to Western Kentucky (9-4, 4-1 C-USA) in Bowling Green. Sophomore Celeste Barnard made her first career start as goalkeeper for the Blue Raiders, saving six-of-seven shots on goal.
Barnard was able to keep the game scoreless after a strong early push from WKU, but the Hilltoppers put a header in the net in the 39th minute.
MTSU, however, was unable to put the same pressure on WKU. On the night, the Bule Raiders registered only two shots on goal through the 90-minute battle. The Blue Raiders had a couple scoring opportunities towards the end of the first half with two shot attempts, including one on goal from standout Abbie Brown.
After netting two goals last game, Middle Tennessee’s Haley Nishimoto came out of halftime with a scoring mentality. Nishimoto took two shots in the first six minutes of the second half but neither of which were able to slip past WKU.
The remainder of the game was a scrappy battle but the Blue Raiders couldn’t find the back of the net when it mattered the most. With the win, Western Kentucky now sits one game behind first place in the conference rankings.
The Blue Raiders will get a few hours of rest before heading to Huntington, West Virginia to take on Marshall Sunday at 1 p.m. CT. | <urn:uuid:fd9d9058-7def-48a0-ae2e-fbdf3429b830> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://mtsusidelines.com/2016/10/soccer-recap-barnard-shines-but-blue-raiders-fall-to-wku/ | 2019-06-19T11:02:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998959.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619103826-20190619125826-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.957933 | 337 | [

Murder of Gdańsk mayor highlights Poland’s polarization
The government’s backers and opponents live in largely separate worlds.
Thousands of people gather in Warsaw to honor Pawel Adamowicz, the late mayor of Gdansk, who died after being stabbed in the heart by a young man at a weekend charity fundraiser | Janek Skarzynski/AFP via Getty Images
WARSAW — The murder of Gdańsk Mayor Paweł Adamowicz lays bare divisions that are wider than at any time since Poland shook off communism three decades ago.
The man who killed Adamowicz at a fundraising event on Sunday was described by authorities as a mentally ill bank robber who blamed the mayor’s former party, Civic Platform, for the time he spent in prison.
The death “illustrates the scale of political tensions that function in our country,” Jarosław Wałęsa, a member of the European Parliament and a one-time rival of Adamowicz for the mayor’s job, told Poland’s TVN24. “What happened yesterday is unfortunately a result of politicians not taking responsibility for their words.”
Adamowicz, 53, was a high-profile liberal critic of the ruling right-wing Law and Justice (PiS). He supported issues like gay rights and accepting asylum seekers, in stark contrast to PiS ideology, and his murder is being treated as a symptom of an illness in Polish society and politics.
The mayor had been subjected to barrages of abuse from pro-government media and other right-wingers. The nationalist All-Polish Youth even issued a “political death certificate” for Adamowicz two years ago.

The charity event Adamowicz was taking part in on Sunday is an even more prominent target of pro-government attacks.
Founded by rocker Jerzy Owsiak in 1993, the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) has become the country’s largest non-government charity. Every January, Polish streets are filled with children collecting money as part of an annual fundraising drive, and millions of Poles sport the foundation’s red heart stickers on their clothes to show they’ve donated.
The money goes to buy hospital equipment that the underfunded medical system is unable to afford. But Owsiak’s success, coupled with his unapologetic liberalism, has made him a target for right-wingers, government backers, PiS members of parliament, and some Catholic clergy. The church's rival fundraising drive was less high-profile than Owsiak’s effort. The anger was so deep that one priest even announced that he would not pray for Adamowicz after he was attacked.
Poland’s people have increasingly isolated themselves into hostile camps.
In the wake of Adamowicz’s death, Owsiak announced he is quitting the charity, placing the blame on people who have threatened his foundation for years — with little reaction from the police.
The criticism “approaches the language of Nazism, of fascism, of threats,” Owsiak said.
Adamowicz’s death shocked the country. Politicians from across the political spectrum called for calm and to refrain from politicizing the killing.
But the tension stilled for only a moment.
President Andrzej Duda, a PiS ally, called for a meeting of political leaders in the wake of the killing, but Civic Platform refused to attend. Duda had to back away from the idea of holding a silent march on Tuesday in Gdańsk, after other parties accused him of trying to politicize Adamowicz’s death.
"I decided that any kind of a march led by the authorities is not in order," Duda said, adding: "We can all examine our consciences.”

Poland’s people have increasingly isolated themselves into hostile camps. Urban liberals and right-wing backers of the government get their news from different sources, socialize increasingly rarely, and have deeply divergent views of their country's place in Europe and the world. Social media has become a war zone — with anyone straying from the party line subjected to attack.
Even charity fundraising has become politicized. WOŚP saw its proceeds soar when it was attacked by PiS backers in recent years, because PiS opponents saw donating to the charity as a way of demonstrating their hostility to the country's rulers.
Divisions will deepen
Poland's largely pro-EU liberal wing looks to Donald Tusk, a former prime minister and current president of the European Council, as a possible leader to snatch back power from PiS in this year’s parliamentary election and next year’s presidential vote.
“We will defend Gdańsk and Poland against hatred and contempt,” Tusk said in the city on Monday evening.
PiS loyalists want Jarosław Kaczyński, the country’s de facto leader, to carry out his program of rebuilding the country based on traditional national virtues, and pride in their country's history and religion.
The roots of Poland's current division date back to April 10, 2010, when a plane carrying Poland's then-President Lech Kaczyński and other senior officials crashed while trying to land in Smolensk, Russia. Poland united in the immediate aftermath of that disaster.
But within days society split.
A majority saw the crash as a tragic accident caused by undertrained pilots breaking a host of rules while trying to land during dense fog. But many Law and Justice loyalists saw a conspiracy with Tusk in cahoots with Russian President Vladimir Putin to cause the crash.
On Monday evening, thousands of people took to the streets to remember Adamowicz and to protest against violence. But the current moment of unity around Adamowicz's death looks set to last for an even briefer time.
“These divisions will not go away,” said Marek Migalski, a political scientist at the University of Silesia. “If anything they will deepen.” | <urn:uuid:3d4134bb-d480-46ce-97c4-310e4079bada> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.politico.eu/article/gdansk-mayor-pawel-adamowicz-killing-highlights-poland-deep-divisions/ | 2019-06-19T10:40:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998959.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619103826-20190619125826-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.961845 | 1,346 | [

If your a Steelhead Angler in the Great lakes area you must have some Stone Flies in your box. March is the time to fish these bugs, as water starts to warm Stoneflies start to move. I would say most fish we get in March if not on a egg is on a Stonefly Nymph. As in February mostly Hex’s work and occasional Stones. Early April Stones will work but, April is more the month to fish a Salmon or Steelhead Parr pattern. March is time for Little Black Stones. This is a very easy pattern to make and very effective. Enjoy!!!!!!!

Building Rating & Disclosure
Ever wonder how much a home’s utility bills will cost before you buy it? Portland, Oregon, has a cutting-edge policy that gives homebuyers such information, enabling them to consider energy efficiency when buying a home, just as many consumers do when shopping for a car. Other cities are looking at similar programs.
New ACEEE research shows that Florida could bolster energy efficiency policies to gain 135,000 jobs, making the state’s economy a bit sunnier.
Home buyers in Massachusetts may soon be able to better gauge the energy efficiency, or inefficiency, of their potential future homes. On Tuesday, Governor Charlie Baker introduced legislation that would establish energy performance ratings and disclosure requirements for homes across the state.
Next week we will release the 2017 City Energy Efficiency Scorecard. Because it’s been two years since we published the last edition, here are some key scorecard numbers and facts to jog your memory about its contents.
100: Number of points cities could earn. No city came close to earning a perfect score in a past scorecard. Spoiler alert: it didn’t happen this time either.
The 21st century has ushered in a new era of measuring personal progress. With wearable technologies, we can now collect more personal data than we ever thought possible, from heart rate and step count to standing time and sleep quality. The ability to measure what we want to manage in real time has brought new meaning to the phrase “big data.” Improved tools for data collection and analysis have not been limited to health metrics. Technologies for collecting energy data in our homes and buildings have improved, producing more and better data than ever before.
This is a busy time of year in competitive sports. Top teams in the NBA (including our hometown Wizards) and NHL are competing for the Larry O’Brien Trophy and Stanley Cup. American Pharaoh just won the Kentucky Derby last week, and Chelsea took the Premier League title. But don’t forget about another friendly competition—the one for most energy-efficient city in the 2015 City Energy Efficiency Scorecard! There are only five days to go until the results are released on Wednesday May 20.
I start thinking about my New Year’s resolution earlier than most. I like to think ahead and know what I’m getting into before committing. This year I could go to the gym more, eat fewer hamburgers, or do more traveling. OK, let’s start with just one thing. Maybe I’ll try to travel more. But how do I set the perfect goal for me? Where do I even start?
Thanks to my organization’s work on community energy planning, I know I can use the SMART goal-setting framework to wrap my head around my plans.
When ACEEE launched the Multifamily Energy Savings Project two years ago, we offered one of the first estimates of potential energy savings – $3.4 billion – for multifamily buildings, a traditionally underserved market. Since then, we continue to report on opportunities and challenges for achieving these savings.
After work, to unwind, I like to turn on the TV. There is just something about watching people escape from zombies or write 1960s advertising slogans that takes my mind off my day’s work. After I’m all caught up on the soapy cable dramas, though, I get myself into trouble. That’s when I inevitably wind up on reality TV. When I watch a sea of fawning bachelors courting a lone bachelorette, or a young heiress making her way in the business world, it bothers me that these shows fail to truly portray reality. And then I start thinking about work again.
If you’ve gone for a jog or visited your neighborhood gym recently, you may have noticed new accessories popping up amid the sea of iPhones and earbuds. There’s a good chance that some of your fellow runners or gym goers have been using wearable performance monitors—like the Fitbit Flex or Jawbone UP—to track their physical activity. Or perhaps you’ve seen a post from a friend on Facebook bragging about their new personal record for fastest mile. The idea behind these devices and apps is simple: the better you track performance, the more knowledge you have to improve your routine. | <urn:uuid:757e9793-4654-4d46-bc9f-98dd3dc1394c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://aceee.org/blog/term/71?page=0%2C1 | 2019-06-25T05:48:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999800.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625051950-20190625073950-00070.warc.gz | en | 0.943516 | 897 | [

Indeed, even in the most easygoing office settings, you need to keep it proficient and clean. So whether you work in a jean-accommodating condition each day of the week or save your denim for Casual Fridays, the business casual denim you pick does have some kind of impact. They can educate associates, clients or customers about your identity — what you need to be known for.
A classic wash might fall into the adequate category, But if you’re similar to us you won’t have any desire to go for OK. You’re aiming for extraordinary.
So, leave your classic jeans and standard skinnies for the end of the week, and rather, button into positively pro pairs that make an impressive even if casual statements.
BUSINESS CASUAL DENIM: WHITE DENIM
A clean white jeans is the warm-climate alternative that dependably offers a fresh, cool and gathered vibe. While you may wear it with splendid and intense hues on your taking a break days, this match looks absolutely smooth combined with dark shirts for available time. Go cropped with a shorter shape to gorgeously flaunt a few pumps, ballet flats or sophisticated mules. Simply above the ankle is the shy hemline you’ve been dreaming for.
BUSINESS CASUAL DENIM: BLACK DENIM
The best thing about dark denim is that it doesn’t look like denim by any stretch of the imagination! Skip blurred blacks and vintage washes and go for the most profound, darkest and most genuine accessible. Unless your colleagues get very close, they won’t have the capacity to differentiate between your dark jean, your stretch Ponte pant or your standard trouser.
BUSINESS CASUAL DENIM: FLARED JEANS
Flared jeans have a tendency to be somewhat longer than your guidelines fits, making them for pairing with heels in the office. A dark wash that’s slim through the leg and bells after the knee is your dressy alternative to boring straight leg options. It likewise gives you a chance to escape with a clue of vintage sentimentality. Perpetually classy, the office flare always looks posh even with a tee and belt. | <urn:uuid:d4e86833-7237-436c-8011-1845154f5dfa> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.heelsandjeans.com/business-casual-denim-for-women/ | 2019-06-25T05:38:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999800.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625051950-20190625073950-00070.warc.gz | en | 0.90723 | 452 | [

- Abby Norman and James Alexander are set to tie the knot on Champions League final day
- The bride to be supports Liverpool while the groom is a die-hard Tottenahm fan
- Liverpool and Tottenham will slug it out in the Champions League final in Madrid
Liverpool supporter Abby Norman and Tottenham fan James Alexander are getting married on the same day both Premier league clubs will be playing in the Champions League finals.
And the couples have made arrangements to view the Champions League finals live on the day they tie the knot so that nobody misses it.
“We joked and laughed that it could happen, but didn't think it really would. After Tottenham's game on Wednesday, our phones were going nuts,” Abby said on This Morning.
“James was actually in London at the time and we couldn't believe it had happened - and for a massive game as well.”
When the couples were asked whether they considered cancelling the wedding, James replied: “No, we never thought of cancelling, we just knew we had to show the game.”
The soon-to-be-newlyweds plan to have guests sit on either a Liverpool or Tottenham side during the ceremony.

“They need to be savvy and pick who to support then and who they think will win - which will obviously be Liverpool,” Abby responded.
"There will also be a sweepstake for the teams, the bar will be changed into a sports bar and the table plan is now by teams.”
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, insists he has no problem at all with his Muslim players who are still observing their fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
Klopp said he backed Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to observe their fast in the build-up and on Saturday, June 1, the day of the UEFA Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur.

The good old days basically sucked. Black people had nothing and had no real chance of getting anything. Gay people were invisible. I’m old and I can remember a time before the sexual revolution—which was mostly frustration. After that revolution, it was, well, after.
I bring this up because I was going through my closet Monday and found a lovely field coat that I got from J. Press clothiers a long, long time ago. It’s a pale sort of Protestant yellow, which means it’s an unusual color but it won’t scare anybody. Not that it matters because they don’t stock it anymore. The coat sticks in my memory because I had to buy a second one after I lost the first one.
Thinking of J. Press made me think about the “old” Brooks Brothers—which is now newish and which I like, but it’s no longer a stronghold of Ivy League style.
My father grew up in an Irish neighborhood where half the men were drunks and he learned from the worst. He was a good salesman who was hardly ever sober enough to be good at his job but was often drunk enough to put his hands on his wife and son.
We lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, for a while, and he was obsessed with my going to the University of Virginia. He was smart enough to see a way up for his son and decent enough to teach me to strive for it. UVa was an all-male school then, where the students wore coats and ties to class. It was unmatched in style and parties. Khaki pants, weejuns, tassel loafers, and button-down shirts were the uniform. For some reason, lots of people wore worn leather billfolds sticking out of their back pocket.
I worked 70 hours a week during the summer after my freshman year to have money to buy school clothes. I worked as a busboy, a ditch digger, and a plumber’s assistant. I don’t want to horrify you with what plumbers’ assistants did before someone figured out how to make pipes less likely to split open, but when I went home I repelled even my mother.
When the time came to go shopping, I went to Brooks but also to a store called J. Press. Even then I could see that it was at least as good as Brooks. Both stores smelled of nice houses, graduate schools, and hope for the future.
I woke up the other morning and after remembering that Trump was in and noticing that it was raining hard, I thought about those stores, for some reason, and I remembered John Kennedy, who was slender, elegant, and a war hero, and who also bought clothes at J. Press. So it was either my head under the covers or a walk in the rain to look for a memory of things I wanted and grew up and got.
J. Press used to be at a midtown address; it’s now at 304 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. To get there I had to pass Great Jones Street. When I was 27 and an assistant district attorney in Homicide, I had an affair with a Polish call girl who lived on that block. She thought I had a glamorous job. I thought she was sweet. She was six feet tall and if she didn’t have an orgasm, she made me stop and start over.
I had not been in a J. Press store in about 45 years—I hadn’t even known they were still in business—and just walking in made me remember some good days in my life.
The two young fellows who worked there, Dan Greenwood and Justin Spaeth, were charming and helpful. And the shaggy dog sweaters—now those are sweaters I have seen nowhere else. They are Shetland wool, come sized trim or regular and in a total of 16 different heathery shades—all beautiful. Purple. Orange. A knockout green. They are shaggy—just like a shaggy dog. They would even look wonderful on a young woman.
They also had two lambswool sweaters that felt like cashmere. One was a light navy and the other a lemon yellow. Both very pretty.
The ties were the standard 3½ inches, which don’t have to be replaced every time a brand designer needs a new profit center, and there were lots of little paisley ties perfect for a blue blazer.
There was also a putty colored raglan sleeved raincoat that seemed out of place because it was so grown up and elegant. It was expensive, but I’ve never seen a better one of its type.
The company is now owned by the Japanese, and the Bleecker Street store (there are also outlets in Cambridge, Massachusetts, New Haven, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C.) is full of things that prove the Japanese have a lovely eye for color and form that extends from their gardens all the way to striped socks (of which the store had plenty in mid-calf length—perfect for young men who don’t have age blotches).
Speaking of the Japanese, the J. Press line is apparently very popular in that country as well. Most of the customers who came in while I was there were Japanese, and they always picked out the stuff l liked the most. I really am an expert on shopping, and these kids came 6,738 miles to go the American version of somewhere neat that I didn’t even know existed.
The store is a triumph of globalization. And a great place to visit in the rain to bring back old good memories. | <urn:uuid:96576aa6-24ce-4a6a-ba77-af27f33cc8c7> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://blog.thedailybeast.com/a-wonderful-store-that-helps-you-travel-in-time | 2019-06-18T11:10:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998716.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618103358-20190618125358-00030.warc.gz | en | 0.988722 | 1,179 | [

Police Chief attends IDEC-conference
Chief of the KPSM Carl John attended the International Drug Enforcement Conference (IDEC) which was held in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic from May 15th through May 19th 2017. This conference was attended by over two hundred participants from 110 different countries.
The conference was organized by the Dominican Republic’s National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD) and the US Drug Enforcement Administration. The conference was mainly to enable participants to analyze global trends in illicit drug trafficking and to promote cooperation and information exchange with the focus on combating such crimes.
The island of Sint Maarten as are many other islands in the Caribbean used as drugs trans- shipment hub for illicit drugs to the mainland of the United States and other countries in other parts of the world.
Also as one of the main topics was discussed the illegal manufacturing and use of the synthetic drug called “Fentalyn”. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid analgesic that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent.
Non-pharmaceutical Fentanyl is sold in the following forms: as a powder; spiked on blotter paper; mixed with or substituted for heroin; or as tablets that mimic other, less potent opioids.
Fentanyl works by binding to the body’s opioid receptors, which are found in areas of the brain that control pain and emotions. Its effects include euphoria, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, constipation, sedation, tolerance, addiction, respiratory depression and arrest, unconsciousness, coma, and death. The high potency of Fentanyl greatly increases risk of overdose, especially if a person who uses drugs is unaware that a powder or pill contains Fentanyl.
Three of these illegal labs were discovered in the Dominican Republic. Noting how close the Dominican Republic and Sint Maarten are to each other, the community of Sint Maarten should take good note of this information and be aware of the consequences of this illegal drugs.
The Drugs Enforcement Administration will introduce an awareness campaign within the near future regarding the production and use of illicit drugs on Sint Maarten. (see pic attached)

Being able to correct your teeth in a way that is both simple and hard to notice is just about a dream come true. The catch, of course, is that keeping your invisible aligners… well, invisible, takes at least a little bit of effort. And, with the holiday season comes a whole host of feasts and new foods, so you may be wondering what the best or easiest way to achieve this may be.
If that’s the case, we’ve got you covered. Here are some simple ways to keep your invisible aligners clean and free of discoloration:
1. Regularly remove and rinse your aligners
When you get up in the morning to brush your teeth, you’re dead-smack in the middle of the opportune time to clean your aligners and prep them for your day. And, while that might seem a little obvious, we want to point out that you might not be thinking of the rest of the day ahead. That being said, one of the simplest moves to make to ensure that your aligners stay clean throughout an active daily routine is just to rinse them out every time you remove them to eat or adjust for comfort.
2. Soak your aligners with retainer cleaner or a homemade solution
Soaking your aligners every day is key to keeping them clean, and the good news is that there are all sorts of ways to do this. For instance, use a mixture of warm water and a tablet of store-bought retainer cleaner to soak your trays for 15 to 20 minutes. But, if you’re short on time or money, DIY solutions made of household items are also great! For instance, you can simply mix ½ cup of warm water with a tablespoon of baking soda, or you can try mixing one part white vinegar and three parts warm water. Of course, if you use the baking soda, be sure to soak them for an hour, and if you soak them with vinegar, 20 minutes should be fine. In either case, be sure to clean and rinse your aligners again once they’re done!
3. Never leave your trays out in the open when you’re not wearing them
Leaving your aligners out in the open means exposing them to bacteria… and the longer they’re left out, the greater the bacterial buildup will be. Plus, you don’t want to accidentally lose them! If you’re not wearing your aligners, always be sure to keep them in a container and, if they are left out at all, always be sure to rinse them before you put them back in your mouth.
Keeping your invisible aligners clean may require a little bit of thought but, at the end of the day, is easy to both remember and achieve! If you have any further questions about your aligners or are in need of an adjustment, be sure to contact SouthShore Orthodontics. We provide exceptional service in a welcoming environment, so don’t forget to call us today to schedule an appointment! | <urn:uuid:80f05a0c-6d27-4b94-b08e-7acf35066f29> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.southshore-ortho.com/2018/11/30/how-to-keep-your-invisible-aligners-clean/ | 2019-06-18T11:40:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998716.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618103358-20190618125358-00030.warc.gz | en | 0.927371 | 637 | [

More than a decade before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences began staging Academy Award ceremonies in Hollywood, one of the earliest western films about Wild Bill Hickock was produced in…….Chadron, Nebraska?
Not that the movie would have won an Oscar. According to the Nebraska State Historical Society, it wasn’t even close to being an accurate depiction of Wild Bill, but it was an ambitious undertaking for a group of local folks in Chadron who produced the film.
Entitled Wild Bill and Calamity Jane in the Days of ’75 and ’76, the 1916 movie was said to have embraced several “state of the art” production techniques, including film masking and titles within the film. Most intriguing for us was the fact that local citizens created the Black Hills Feature Film Company and sold stock in an effort to bankroll the project. We don’t know how many shares they sold, but one “William Chalk” was the proud owner of Certificate No. 4, shown here.
Interestingly, the certificate is signed by Willis Schenck, Secretary, and A. L. Andrews, President, of the Black Hills Feature Film Company – and Schenck also performed in the film. According to the credits, he played the role of “Nettie’s father.”
But the real limelight of this film was focused on a young lady by the name of Freeda Hartzell Romine, who – according to the Centennial History of Chadron, Nebraska (1985) – was born in Nebraska but grew up in Deadwood, South Dakota. That’s where, so the story goes, she learned to become an expert rifle shot and honed her skills well enough to appear in the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis with Will Rogers. She would have been only about 12 or 13 years old. The photo here shows Freeda with fellow performers in Wild Bill and Calamity Jane in the Days of '75 and '76.
The young lass also toured with Buffalo Bill Cody’s Western Show for several years, according to an account in Dawes County - The First 100 Years, published in 1985. She and her railroader husband, Guy Romine, had a daughter, Catherine. Many years later, the Romine’s divorced. Freeda reportedly lived for several more years in Chadron, but also had a home in Indiana. We know nothing about her final days.
Other "locals" in the film included Freeda's mother, Mary Hartzell, who portrayed Calamity's mother, and A.L. Johnson, who was cast as Wild Bill. Barney Efting played the infamous Jack McCall, while Dick Iaeger was Calamity's brother. In researching this local drama troupe, we discovered that Iaeger was an uncle to Karen (Kindig) Schlais, who still lives in Chadron.
Alas, this film – and the film company – were also lost in obscurity. Fortunately, the movie was finally “re-discovered” some years ago and placed in the Nebraska archives in Lincoln. It was dusted off and featured a few years ago by Nebraska Educational Television in their Next Exit series.
Enjoy this glimpse of film magic that is nearly 100 years old. | <urn:uuid:97c62617-6fe8-478d-b680-e33f0835a52a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://lawrencecountyhistory.blogspot.com/2011/09/ | 2019-06-20T19:18:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999273.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620190041-20190620212041-00350.warc.gz | en | 0.974697 | 692 | [

A Year Too Late=> NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Now Says the League Believes Everyone Should Stand for National Anthem
In August NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell blasted President Donald Trump for his comments against NFL players kneeling for the national anthem.
This was after the league allowed players for the last year to kneel, sit and stretch during the anthem.
FOX News reported:
“The NFL and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country and our culture,” he said in a statement. “Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities.”
But that was before the ratings took a nosedive and Congress threatened to block tax exemptions to the league.
On Tuesday Roger Goodell issued a statement saying the league believes everyone should stand during the national anthem.
The NFL will discuss in an upcoming meeting the nationwide dispute over whether players must stand during the National Anthem, Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a copy of a memo obtained by CNBC.
In the memo sent to NFL teams, Goodell said the league must “move past this controversy” and that this has to be done in collaboration with its players.
“Building on many discussions with clubs and players, we have worked to develop a plan that we will review with you at next week’s League meeting,” Goodell said in a Tuesday memo.
While he said the plan would include continued dialogue and promoting the work of its players on key issues, Goodell didn’t provide further details on what that proposed plan would entail.
The NFL comissioner said that the league believes everyone should stand for the National Anthem. Goodell said the NFL also “care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues.” | <urn:uuid:5f3eaba4-5012-4577-98cf-1508dd25d723> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/10/year-late-nfl-commissioner-roger-goodell-says-league-believes-everyone-stand-national-anthem/ | 2019-06-20T19:41:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999273.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620190041-20190620212041-00350.warc.gz | en | 0.97208 | 392 | [

A Financial Services Partners Adviser can recommend an investment strategy/asset allocation after they review your investment risk profile. This is an important step in developing your financial plan, in order to meet your goals and objectives.
What is asset allocation?
An asset allocation is the way in which your investment portfolio is spread across different asset classes, such as shares, property, fixed interest or cash. The process of determining which mix of assets are within your portfolio should reflect your risk profile.
What is an investment risk profile?
When deciding on an investment strategy/asset allocation, it is important to understand the expected investment risk and likely returns. You should also determine how this fits with your personal situation and financial goals.
Investments are expected to provide a return. But this return will also come with a certain level of risk. Risk means different things to different people. Typically, it is referred to as the uncertainty of the return or 'the risk of losing your capital'.
Your risk profile is essentially a measure of how comfortable you are with:
- the possibility of losing money (or negative returns)
- experiencing returns on your investments that may vary widely from year to year (volatility of capital and returns), and/or
- the possibility that you may not achieve the investment returns needed to meet your financial objectives.
Investors have different attitudes towards risk. Understanding your risk profile will help you and your adviser choose an appropriate asset allocation.
There are several important factors to consider in determining your risk profile. These include:
- your risk tolerance - how willing you are to accept the possibility of a negative return at any time in exchange for potentially higher long-term returns
- your investment experience and understanding of financial markets
- your investment goals and objectives - the reason you are investing
- your investment timeframe - when you will need to access your investment capital.
Your age and the stability of your income can also be a factor.
Who is this suitable for?
This information is relevant to a person who:
- holds any investment
- is considering switching investments, or
- is considering making a new investment.
Your Financial Services Partners Adviser can recommend an asset allocation after they review your risk profile. They can also determine which investments can be used to create your portfolio after they consider your needs and objectives.

Wine. Food. Market. Do you like these words? And what about pizza? That kind you will dream about long after your stay in Prague. We somehow feel you could be interested in all that was said. In case we are right, you should definitely visit Wine Food Market. Let us introduce the foodies’ paradise to you.
Wine Food Market (next time just WFM) is like a little Italy in Prague. It is 100% inspired by Italian concept of eating and living so it is pretty unique for Prague. And even whole Czech Republic. It has three branches situated in Smíchov, Dejvice and another in Průhonice. This time we are talking about our favourite Smíchov.
This WFM consists of restaurant called Tržnice, market place, small cafe, fish shop, bakery, flower shop and food shop. In the shops you can get everything your inner foodie dreams of. Fresh salads, meat, Italian pasta, olive oils and wine which you can even taste (win). Everything is on a pricy side but the quality is the best.
The best pizza you have ever tasted
Tržnice is a buzzing restaurant where you can get pizza, pasta, fish, salads and other stuff we love and crave all the time. We highly recommend delicious pizza because we believe it is just salad on a plate of dough, what about you? If you order simple marinara, you pay only 119 CZK which is a bargain considering quality and taste. Pizzas with more toppings are naturally more expensive but it’s worth it.
There are often special events during which Italians are making ricotta and playing piano. Due to that fun and great atmosphere are always sure thing.
Seems like you need to visit this foodie heaven, don´t you think?
Stuff you should know
If you decide to stop by for food, don’t forget to make a reservation. Especially if you plan to visit on Friday evening or anytime during weekend. It’s easy peasy and can be done online.
And how to get to that feast? Easily, just hop on one of the trams number 4, 5, 12, 22 or metro B and leave at Smíchovské nádraží or Plzeňka. | <urn:uuid:a0028e27-9896-428e-94f9-5587b890d8d8> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.bohemia-apartments.com/italian-paradise-for-foodies-in-prague/ | 2019-06-25T08:26:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999814.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625072148-20190625094148-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.953843 | 488 | [

Hi PubCrawlers! Today we have a question for our readers. We want to know if you ever re-read books. If so, which books? What makes you want to read a book a second (or more!) time? If you never re-read, we’d like to know that, too, as well as why you don’t. Is it that you’ve never found a book you liked enough to read again? Or is it that there are just so many more books out there?
I’ve been curious about other people’s re-reading habits recently, since I picked up our own Kat Zhang’s WHAT’S LEFT OF ME to read a second time. I went back to it originally because I wanted to revisit the prose. Kat is a brilliant wordsmith, and I wanted to have her language in my ears as I was revising IVORY AND BONE. Also, I was partially motivated by the fact that I read it when it was a brand new book, and I didn’t even know Kat that well yet! Now that I know Kat better, I wanted to see if I would have a different reaction to the story. (And the answer is… a little bit, yes! I think this time through I “see” Kat in the book, at least in places.)
Our own Erin Bowman did a whole re-read of the Harry Potter series, and wrote about it here. I’ve only read a few books more than once, but I often promise myself I’ll re-read a book as soon as I close the last page. I think it helps ease the pain of saying good-bye to the characters and the world. (It’s not good-bye… It’s farewell! We’ll come back to each other again someday!)
So what about you? I hope you’ll share your thoughts in the comments. I’d love to know how other readers approach re-reading, (especially since most of us here are readers AND writers.)
As a special THANK YOU for joining the discussion and sharing your thoughts, we’re adding a contest! Leave a comment to enter the Rafflecopter below. The prize is your choice of ANY book by ANY PubCrawler—current members or alumni! The winner will select the book of their choice! And yes–this contest is open to international entries!
So YOU TELL US: Do you re-read? Why or why not? | <urn:uuid:b2047503-2662-490d-8431-f2483c6e5c95> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.publishingcrawl.com/2015/06/22/you-tell-us-do-you-re-read-books/ | 2019-06-26T15:08:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000353.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626134339-20190626160339-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.975863 | 529 | [

Best-performing primary schools for progress revealed
PUBLISHED: 13:20 23 December 2018 | UPDATED: 13:20 23 December 2018
A Wraxall school has been named the best in North Somerset for students' progress, according to data.
Wraxall Primary School achieved well above average progress scores for key stage two (KS2) in mathematics and above average scores in reading and writing.
Schools are awarded scores reflecting their pupils’ progress between key stage one and KS2 exams in three key subjects, taken at the ages of seven and 11.
The school’s headteacher Ben Tucker said: “We are absolutely delighted with these results.
“All of the children worked so hard to achieve them, they are a real testimony to the time and effort they put into their studies.
“Of course, this would not have been possible without the dedication and quality teaching from the staff and the support of their parents, it was a real team effort.”
Wraxall achieved progress scores of 2.9 for reading, 0.5 for writing and 4.6 for mathematics, recognising the improvement students achieved in their final years of primary education
Scores of zero reflect average progress across schools, with positive and negative scores awarded for better or worse improvement in students’ grades.
Five other schools in the Times patch finished in the top 10, including Northleaze Primary School in Long Ashton which came second and Backwell Junior School finishing in third place.
Pupils are expected to achieve scores of at least 100 in their KS2 exams.
At Wraxall, the average grade awarded for reading was 110, for grammar, punctuation and spelling 113, and for maths 110.
The results mean 87 per cent of pupils achieved the expected standard across the three subjects, and 20 per cent were high achievers.
St John Church School came fourth in the list and was ranked as Clevedon’s highest performer.
Headteacher Ian Doswell said: “We are extremely pleased with these outcomes and this is a testament to the hard work of all of the children and staff at the school.
“We are all dedicated to providing the best possible experiences for the children in our care, placing great value on the whole child.
“We are thrilled these fantastic outcomes validate the high standard of education at St John’s.” | <urn:uuid:db51bc6f-e3b6-4367-b686-032887613029> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.northsomersettimes.co.uk/news/education/wraxall-primary-school-named-best-in-north-somerset-1-5829004 | 2019-06-26T14:08:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000353.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626134339-20190626160339-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.964078 | 499 | [

In recent years, bass fishermen have seen a number of rod-making innovations that improved their favorite fishing sticks, including Fuji's Concept Guide placement system, split grip handles, and better overall graphite/titanium/magnesium technology for increased sensitivity and lighter weight.
The latest innovation — micro guides — is sure to turn heads and become a widespread option, if not an outright design change, once anglers recognize the advantages these smaller guides offer.
Basically, micro guides are considerably smaller than the conventional guides found on today's casting rods. They average about 4mm in diameter (some are even smaller) and all the guides on a rod are usually the same size. By comparison, a conventional rod today uses guides that typically decrease from 12mm to 10mm, 8mm, 7mm, and then 6mm to the tip.
Micro guides are not new. Custom rod builders have been using them for decades. In Japan the small guides have been popular among light tackle bass fishermen wanting increased sensitivity, while in Europe micro guides have been standard on long carp rods for years. Manufacturers include Fuji, Pacific Bay and American Tackle, well-known firms that supply the majority of guides used on today's rods.
Right now, Kistler Custom Fishing Rods (www.kistlerrods.com) and Duckett Fishing, LLT (www.duckettfishing.com) are offering micro guides on their rods, but more are coming, especially with the introduction of Fuji's K-Series guides (including micro guides) at the 2009 ICAST tackle show.
Kistler, which began shipping their rods in mid-November, offers three 7-foot Micro Magnesium Series models in medium, medium-heavy and heavy actions, and internet customers can also design their own Kistler custom rods (the Z-Bone Series) with the new guides.
Duckett's Micro Magic Series includes 19 micro guide models ranging from 6-foot, 1-inch medium action models to 7-foot, 10-inch extra heavy actions. The 2007 Bassmaster Classic winner also has four very technique-specific crankbait rods featuring the small guides.
"The most readily apparent advantage micro guides offer is overall reduced rod weight — up to 1/2-ounce in some instances," explains Trey Kistler, who first experimented with the downsized guides eight years ago. "That means less arm fatigue at the end of a day of hard fishing, especially if you're throwing big crankbaits or heavy jigs.
"A half ounce doesn't sound like much, but after just 32 casts, that's a full pound less your arm has thrown or your wrist has flipped, and at the end of a day, you're talking a lot of pounds."
"The lighter overall rod weight allows me to add strength to the rod itself in other areas," adds Duckett. "Until now, most weight-saving was achieved by making the blank walls thinner, but that has meant more breakage.
"At the same time, the weight savings with micro guides allows me to use more guides on the rod, which increases sensitivity and balance. Sensitivity comes through the rod blank, but it begins with loaded guides. Line never touches your rod. Sensitivity is transferred through the guides to your rod."
Less weight also means rod balance is easier to achieve, and better balance means smoother and longer casts. Nearly everyone's first impression of micro guides is that the small rings will decrease casting distance. Not so, emphasize Duckett and Kistler, both of whom readily admit they, too, were skeptics until they began using micro guides.
"I first used a rod with micro guides two years ago," notes Duckett, "and yes, my first impression was that the rod would not cast well because the first guide would restrict line movement.
"Just the opposite is true. The small guides eliminate vibration because the line can't move up and down or side to side inside the guides. That energy is transferred into straight line, forward motion so you can actually cast further with these guides. Honestly, it will take you less than five casts with any micro guide rod to realize this.
"You notice it best when you're throwing big crankbaits, because the line travels so smoothly. You'll gain casting distance with these guides and get a bait 'clear across the creek now, not lose distance."
Adds Kistler, "Fishermen who have used these guides have told me they have actually been able to loosen their reel braking systems because casting is easier and more controllable. For the first time, we have rods that actually improve reel efficiency."
Other advantages to micro guides are less rod/line tangles in boat lockers because the guides have a much smaller profile, plus the fact the guides work well with any style of casting rod, including flipping, and handle all sizes of monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braid.
Micro guide technology is also applicable to spinning rods, although only from about the mid-point to the tip. Longer casts aren't necessarily a benefit here, but increased smoothness, sensitivity, balance and weight reduction are.
Two reported problems have possibly kept micro guides from becoming a standard in the industry. One trouble spot has been that guide inserts, both alconite and SIC, popped out of the frame; the other has been guides working loose in the rod's thread wrap because the foot itself is much smaller. Both were warranty issues that required providing a new rod to the user.
Duckett believes he has solved both problems by slightly re-designing the guides he uses (they're made by American Tackle Co.). He added a slight groove inside the guide ring to seat the insert more effectively, and added an almost imperceptible notch on the foot to help anchor the wrapping thread. The most critical part, he believes, was keeping the guides balanced and maintaining their overall integrity, which he was able to do.
At Fuji, the K-Series of guides were designed to eliminate the problem of braided lines tangling around the guide itself. Introduced after nearly five years of research and development, they feature a titanium frame with either SIC or alconite inserts.
The K-Series will be available in a 4mm micro guide size (as well as larger sizes) and it is this guide St. Croix will use on the micro guide rods they plan to introduce at ICAST in 2010, according to Jeff Schluter, VP of Marketing for the Wisconsin-based firm.
"I think you're going to see a number of companies introducing rods with micro guides," notes Schluter, "because the guides do offer specific advantages, and the K-Series is going to make micro guides even more attractive. Micro guides are not going to totally take over the industry, but they do seem to be the new buzz word in rod building, and based on our early evaluations, micro guides are going to become an important option for fishermen."
Given Kistler's and Duckett's early market success with their rods, other manufacturers besides St. Croix will certainly re-evaluate micro guides in the weeks ahead, as well. Bass fishermen who try a rod with these guides may well demand it.

School counseling ideas, tips and enthusiasm! I am always thinking about new ideas to use with my students. Ideas that will grab their attention, get them engaged, have an impact, and help them to be successful in school and in life. This is my 18th year as an urban elementary school counselor. I am also certified to teach elementary students and special education students.
In this post from 2015, I talked about something new I was trying at my school. Toilet Paper and Potty Posters!! Over the past few years, these have proven to be such an effective way to communicate with my STAFF. Click below to read that post from 2015!
I wanted to share with you some of the Potty Posters I created - to get you started! You can find the two bundles below - they are only $2 each. You download and then print them out on 8.5 x 11 paper or send to a local printer for printing. Click on the pictures below to purchase. Enjoy all the positive comments you will receive!
It's summertime - my time of the year where all else quiets down and I can really think about the things that are important to me. I've been so enjoying alone time with my dog, FUN time with my nieces and nephews, and time with my family and friends (many breakfasts and lunches to visit). Honestly, is it me, or does this summer seem to be flying by unusually quickly?
It's been a rainy week here and I've been able to settle for a bit and do some reflecting. I have been thinking about this blog....and how I haven't posted in quite some time - but have a bunch of ideas, materials and tools I want to share with all of you. Yet, I feel like I say this every summer and then the school year starts and all else gets in the way! I've been thinking about this past year and how time was fleeting and life took over. I've been thinking about completing my application for RAMP before this summer is up. I've been thinking about my time over the past two years as president of our local school counselor organization, time spent on numerous district committees, and time advocating for the role of the school counselor. I've been thinking about my goals and ideas for the year to come. I've been thinking about how excited I am to have a new working window in my office and how I raised the legs on my computer desk so my long legs can now fit underneath. The things I get excited about in an urban district...pathetic really! I've also been thinking about how I hope to conquer the school/work AND life/health balance this year...I MUST. I WILL.
This blog has been such a wonderful tool to build professional connections - collegiality and friendships. I've felt so blessed to have been able to share my thoughts, experience, and ideas with all of you. It has given me a greater sense of purpose...my reach and impact has grown beyond my school walls. Over the past five years, there has been such a wonderful growth for our field in the number of quality bloggers, Facebook pages, Twitter participants and materials on sites like Tpt. I've been so inspired by all I continue to read, all with whom I "chat" with and communicate with. The ideas....geez....they blow me away! I'm also so thrilled to hear of the excitement of new folks just starting in our field and the graduate students I teach each summer as they head out to their internships.
Nonetheless, I find that this blog and my blog's Facebook page suffers when things get busy and as I attempt to balance work and home life. That said, I'm not ready to give it up ...so, I will be easy on myself and post when I can and when I'm moved to do so. I think part of me wants to be sure I'm posting QUALITY ideas and materials - I've been around the block long enough to know that not all that I come up with is quality....it serves a purpose, sometimes it's a quick answer to a need...but doesn't meet MY usual standards. And if it doesn't....it will not be shared with all of you. Hopefully all of you will hang in there with me and continue to read along when it's time for me to share with all of you.
In the meantime, there are a few weeks left of summer and there is much to be done! Stay tuned.... | <urn:uuid:2c7ea7d0-01ba-465d-8aea-ff3937a65904> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.feedspot.com/infiniterss.php?q=site:http%3A%2F%2Fentirelyelementary.blogspot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fposts%2Fdefault%3Falt%3Drss | 2019-06-16T05:27:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627997731.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616042701-20190616064701-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.978072 | 919 | [

This small size animal is a bit of a mystery. It is made of a reddish pottery and measures 11 cm. It is hand sculptured and is hollow, with a hole in the back. First there is the nature of the beast, and I came to the provisional conclusion that it is an elephant. (female)
The two cultures that stand out as possibilities are the Quijialing culture 3000 – 2600 bC, or the subsequent Shijiahe culture 2400-2000 bC. The site was unearthed at Tianmen County, Hubei, China. The upper layer of the type site belonged to the Qujialing culture. The site at Shijiahe covered an area of around 1,200,000 m². The settlement was surrounded by a moat and earth wall. The type site was likely a regional center.Shijiahe is one of the largest towns excavated so far—almost a perfect square, one kilometer on each side. This was a period in which villages and towns expanded symmetrically in oval, square, rectangle and trapezoid shapes.(wikipedia)
Next to af few human figures the pits contained several thousand animal figures including pigs, dogs, sheep, oxen, chickens, monkeys, elephants, tigers, turtles, wild chickens, and peacocks. They were probably used in ritual ceremonies.
The information is scarce and I hope that I described this piece right. The wear of the clay seems to point to ancient times, and it is clearly not made in a mould, as later wares in later Han and Tang times.

Had a listserv exchange with Bob Morse about the feds’ college ratings system, criticizing it and US News’ graduation rate model. He said “You are right that USNEWS is a for-profit company and we aren’t doing social science level analysis.” Here was my reply:
For-profit status has nothing to do with it.
When I make an error in one of my articles, I mislead about a dozen people around the world – the dozen that actually read something I write. We know that education leads not only to higher incomes, but greater life satisfaction and health; whether someone gets a degree is truly a life-altering event. And whether that event occurs depends in part on how students and families use information (such as US News) to make their choices. What you do for a living, Bob, can in some sense be seen as a matter of life and death.
So who should be held to a higher standard: unknown academic researchers, or people who publish information about colleges that students and their families actually use in their decision-making?
A valid institutional performance measure is like the Holy Grail of higher ed. No seems to have considered that there are many brilliant researchers in econ, education and sociology who would love to develop one. That one has not yet been developed should illustrate how difficult this issue is.
On second thought, it is exactly like the Holy Grail:
1. It does not exist.
2. Good people are wasting their time and energy questing after it.
3. Hucksters are selling cheap goblets to a gullible public. | <urn:uuid:b2184297-4be2-46bc-87e2-70d7b837395d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://stephenporter.org/college-ratings-are-the-holy-grail/ | 2019-06-19T18:45:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999040.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619184037-20190619210037-00070.warc.gz | en | 0.963811 | 331 | [

You’ve heard the saying a million times – ‘The kitchen is the heart of the home’ – and it couldn’t ring more true in modern homes where kitchens are central in open-plan living.
The difference between an ordinary and extraordinary kitchen often comes down to planning. While of course budget can play a part, we’ve seen people with excessive budgets fumble due to poor planning and on the flipside, others who have created a truly stylish and functional kitchen on a budget. It really comes down to planning and understanding a few design principles.
Today we’re sharing our top 10 tips for successful kitchen planning so no matter what budget you’re working towards, you can achieve a kitchen that ticks all the boxes.
1. Consider the space
Whether you’re renovating or building new, the first step is to consider the space you have to work with and play with different layouts or configurations.
When renovating older homes, it often helps to think outside the box and consider opening up the space – potentially removing walls or expanding the size of the kitchen. Sometimes in poky kitchens, it’s also a great idea to increase the size of the window or even create a gas strut window with a serving bar to the outside.
In newer homes, an architect or builder will generally propose the kitchen design. That doesn’t mean you can’t go through it with a fine toothcomb and consider making a few alterations to better suit your family needs. For example, Gina increased the depth of her kitchen island bench to make it more functional for meal preparation and entertaining.
2. Function first
Once you know the space you have to work with, it’s time to nut out how exactly you will use the space and design the layout and fixtures to suit.
You may have come across the term ‘triangle layout’ which is an ergonomic design rule where the kitchen sink, fridge and cooking area need to be linked (preferably in a triangle). It avoids wasted steps and makes the overall design more functional.
Also when deciding your layout, consider where you want to position your appliances and desired sizes. For example, would you prefer to have an oven under your cooktop or possibly two ovens stacked in a wall tower? Would you prefer a concealed rangehood or one that makes a statement in your design?
There are even more considerations when it comes to appliances, as well as other functional things such as lighting and storage that we discuss in detail below.
3. Decide on colour palette or style
The fun – or stressful – part of designing a kitchen is deciding on your materials and colours.
There’s more choice on the market than ever before and the more you research, the more options you’ll find! To avoid getting overwhelmed, we recommend doing your research (that means stalking design blogs, Pinterest, Instagram, going into kitchen display showrooms etc) and creating a mood board of images and finishes you love.
As you build your mood board, you’ll begin to easily see what works well together and where perhaps you need to remove or refine certain selections. The trick to a great overall scheme is contrast – combining matte or gloss with textured materials, dark and light, angular with round.
Try not to lock in selections purely because they are ‘on trend’, rather, make sure you’re selecting colours and materials because you love them which will ensure you still enjoy your kitchen long after the trends have passed.
4. Select appliances
One of the most important decisions for your kitchen is selecting appliances. They account for a large portion of your budget and are the workhorse of your kitchen. The type of appliances you select and brand can also affect your house value for resale so here are some tips to choose wisely.
What appliances to select?
Every kitchen needs at least one oven, a cooktop, rangehood, refrigerator and preferably a dishwasher. However, if you’re designing a kitchen for the luxury market, it’s common to have more than one of each appliances (such as two or more ovens) and also additional features such as a wok burner or steam oven.
Consider if you’re designing the house primarily for you or if you plan to sell in the near future and take this into consideration when selecting appliances. If resale is on your mind, look at what other houses in your price range are offering in their kitchens so you can be competitive.
Gas, ceramic or induction cooktop?
Of course, it’s not just a simple decision of selecting one of each appliance – and it seems selecting a cooktop can be particularly challenging.
First there’s the choice of ceramic, induction or gas cooktop. Ceramic cooktops are ultra sleek and work with any type of pot or pan, however gas cooktops often appeal more to buyers and the master chefs among us. Recently, induction cooktops (those that heat pots directly using electromagnetic energy) have become increasingly popular, however they do require special cookware. Of course, if you can’t decide between induction and gas, you can opt the HIG1995AD Duo Fusion cooktop from ASKO, which offers the best of both worlds with a Volcano gas burner and four bridge induction zones.
Other decisions to make for your cooktop are colour – stainless steel, anthracite or black glass? – and size.
The trend towards multiple ovens is here to stay so if your budget allows, consider having more than one in your kitchen design.
A stack of ovens in a wall unit is more ergonomic and looks sleek. For example, you could stack two 60cm ovens on top of each other, or if you’re having four ovens, you could stack two 60cm ovens side by side and have two 45cm ovens below.
If you haven’t made the switch to a pyrolytic oven, be sure to look into these before selecting your ovens. What sets these ovens apart is that they heat up to extreme temperatures during pyrolysis (heat) cleaning, creating a super-clean oven with the power to perform all cooking tasks with ease.
The main decision to make with your rangehood is whether you want it to be integrated below overhead cabinetry or be a design feature. Refer back to the mood board you created to help guide your decision. Alternatively, you might like to browse the range of stylish rangehoods by ASKO here.
Dishwashers are seen as a necessity in kitchens these days, and many luxury kitchens have at least two. There’s no need to explain why – they save you time, offer a more hygienic way to clean, and allow you to quickly pack away dirty dishes at a dinner party and get back to entertaining.
However, not all dishwashers are created equally and Gina made the mistake of selecting a dishwasher with a cutlery top shelf. This compresses the size of the bottom shelf and glass drawer, and means the bottom dish drawer is too small to fit dinner plates, let alone larger items like baking dishes!
Although dishwashers may seem like a straightforward appliance decision, be sure to check the capacity of the lower basket and other features so you get the best dishwasher.
The final appliance to tick off the list is a fridge or two!
Fully integrated, large capacity fridges with flexible internal shelves and racks are what we suggest. A separate door for the freezer is also more functional and energy efficient.
If you’re designing a large, luxury kitchen, having two fridges isn’t unheard of and of course, don’t forget the wine fridge!
Another thing to keep in mind about appliances is design – do the appliances look sleek and complement your overall design? Do all the appliances work well together or are they different materials, finishes and shapes?
Something we love about the ASKO range is their Scandinavian design – minimalist and timeless – and that they all coordinate perfectly with each other.
You can find even more helpful information about how to choose the right kitchen appliances on the ASKO website here.
One of the most valuable features you can incorporate into your kitchen design is storage.
If you’re short on space you can maximise the space you have by opting for deep pull out drawers rather than cupboards – you’ll be able to store more and access items more easily.
Also look for clever internal storage organisers or dividers. You’ll thank yourself for thinking of these small integrations ahead of time.
6. Benchtop material
Caesarstone, quartz, natural stone, timber, bamboo, concrete, stainless steel, laminate or composite material? There’s no shortage of options on the market and don’t even get us started on colour options!
What’s important is to do your research ahead of time and understand the pros and cons of each benchtop material. For example, while concrete is a beautiful organic choice, it is porous and does require ongoing maintenance, and will scratch and stain with use. If you want something low maintenance but love the concrete look, opting for a concrete-look quartz or Caesarstone product may be a better option.
Your splashback is an opportunity to be a bit bold with colour or texture. Unlike other tiled areas in the home, splashbacks don’t have to be waterproofed and this makes them easier to change or replace down the track with little expense.
So if you want to add a fun splash of colour or play with texture, the splashback is a ‘safe’ place to do this.
There are thousands of tiles you could choose from to bring your kitchen design to life, or even try something less common such as brick. See this round up of statement splashback ideas we recently shared.
A well-designed lighting plan is essential for a successful kitchen and the three types of lighting to consider are task, ambient and accent.
Task lighting helps you perform tasks, such as lighting above the island bench to make food prep easy. Ambient lighting is the overall illumination of an area, such as downlights to light up your kitchen. And accent lighting is that final layer of lighting that adds creativity or interest.

9. Smaller details can make the biggest impact
We mentioned above that small inclusions like internal drawer organisers can make a huge difference to your kitchen. Some other smaller details to consider are:
- integrated bin: perhaps even a fancy German kind with multiple bins to sort recycling, general waste and compost
- sensor lighting: lights that turn on automatically as you open cupboards or walk into your pantry
- pull out drawers: for utensils or spices can maximise space
- swivel or magnetic tap
- additional powerpoints or USB ports to charge phones.
10. Final checklist
Before locking in your kitchen design and selections, sit with your choices for several days or weeks.
Ask yourself if you’ve made any choices simply because you think you should or if you’re truly happy with what you’ve picked.
During this time you may also spot new opportunities, such as being able to maximise more space or add a small but striking design feature.

To apply what students have learned in the first two lessons of this series to develop explanations of why two famous historical ships sank on their maiden voyages.
This lesson is the third in a three-part series on ships. The overall lesson series is designed to allow students to extend their understanding of floating, sinking, density, and buoyancy and apply it to the design and testing of ships.
This series of activities builds on previous simple explorations of floating and sinking (see the 3-5 Science NetLinks lesson Sink It for a related activity) and prepares students for more in-depth examinations of density and buoyancy. In addition, students should have some skill at designing and carrying out a simple experiment.
The activities in this lesson integrate historical and current information from several countries (United States, Great Britain, and Sweden) and utilize the true "world wide" nature of the Internet. They also point out the important relationship between engineering and scientific research. While the students learn that most ships are constructed very similarly—whether they are schooners or destroyers—they also learn that ships range widely in size and are built from very different materials, with very different tools, and to serve different purposes.
In Ships 1: Give Me a Tall Ship, student teams develop research and reporting skills as they gather information about a specific type of ship and report it to the class. The class, as a whole, compares and contrasts the different ships, noting similarities and differences among ships from different historical eras and ships built for different purposes.
Ships 2: What Floats Your Boat? teaches students about load lines and cargo. Using the information from the ship reports they developed in Ships 1, they note that different types of ships can carry different amounts of cargo. They learn that overloading ships has, historically, been a dangerous practice.
In Ships 3: Grand Designs and Great Failures, students apply what they have learned to develop an explanation of why two real-life ships sank (the British Titanic and the Swedish Vasa). This application of knowledge to real-life situations demonstrates to students that even good designs can fail (the Titanic) and that the solution to one problem often leads to another (the Vasa). It also demonstrates how cultural and contextual conditions can affect both engineering plans and their implementation.
Review with students what they learned in the first two lessons in this series about basic ship structure (hull, keel, ribs, etc.), load lines, and testing ships in calm and rough waters, fresh and salt water, and, if you did so, cold and warm water.
Ask students what modifications they would make to their designs if they were building the ships now, having completed their initial testing. Tell the class that they will do further online research about two great ship designs that failed tragically on their maiden voyages. One is a familiar example, the Titanic, and the other is a ship they may not have heard about, the Swedish Vasa.
Inform students that the challenge in this lesson is to use what they have learned about ships to determine why these grand designs failed. They should not only think in terms of structure and design, but also in terms of the decisions made by the designers, the builders, and those who sailed these ships.
This activity utilizes Web resources from two countries and from varied historical periods to help students learn about the design and fate of two ships from different eras. The activity is interdisciplinary, offering opportunities to expand into language arts and social studies through writing extensions and explorations of the culture and historical events in which these ships played a role.
Assign students to teams. As you prefer, groups may research both ships suggested on the Grand Designs and Great Failures student esheet or just one of the ships (assigned by you or selected by the group). Ships are included that were used for different purposes—defense and shipping—and from different eras; in both cases, what was seen to be a major advance in design did not prove effective.
Have students access the Grand Designs and Great Failures student esheet. Following the instructions on the esheet and using the links provided (and additional links if you prefer), students will gather information on the design and fate of each ship. There are, of course, numerous documentaries and fictional portrayals of the events surrounding the sinking of the Titanic. Use these as desired.
You may assess student understanding by having them provide detailed answers to the research questions on the Grand Designs and Great Failures student sheet.
Fianlly, each team could then prepare a poster describing its findings. Alternately, you may want to lead the class in a discussion of the questions.
Additional resources about sinking, floating, and ships can be found in the following resources:
- The Way Things Work, by David Macaulay, Houghton Mifflin; ISMB 0-395-42857-2; 1988. This book has a good section on boats and submarines.
- NOVA Online's Buoyancy Brainteasers has activities and problems to solve on floating and sinking.
- The Mariners’ Museum website has good overviews of the history of sailing, going as far back as 3200 B.C. Although the website contains few pictures, there are good, easy-to-read narratives. | <urn:uuid:6249c8cc-6c84-462b-98f0-03cadb1c319b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://sciencenetlinks.com/lessons/ships-3-grand-designs-and-great-failures/ | 2019-06-21T00:04:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00230.warc.gz | en | 0.959538 | 1,078 | [

TOP 10 WORST TOXINS IN YOUR HOME
Hidden toxins in your home can cause you and your family serious health problems. Here’s a list of the worst offenders and how to protect yourself from toxins in your home.
LAUNDRY ROOM: DRYER SHEETS
Dryer sheets were my entree into the land of toxin-free living when I learned that the substance used to soften clothes is often derived from animal fats. (YUCK!) But the fragrances used in dryer sheets can be even worse, containing chemicals like benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol and terpines—all toxic, and some carcinogenic. Switch to DIY dryer balls instead and use essential oils for that fresh laundry smell. | <urn:uuid:e3ae7c2a-77d2-45d9-9065-69a2d8c1ff3f> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.combatdomesticviolence.com/category/sundry/ | 2019-06-20T23:47:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00230.warc.gz | en | 0.934686 | 154 | [

After 112 years the bubbles will blow for the last time at the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday 10 May, as West Ham host Manchester United in the final Premier League home game of this season. The club's 2,398th match at Upton Park is bound to be an emotionally-charged occasion; a final farewell to a stadium that for the club's fans, including myself, has always been home.
Extra stewards are reportedly being brought in to stop supporters, some of whom would have sat for years and years in the same spot as season ticket holders, from taking their seats with them.
You can understand why. For many a fan, the Boleyn Ground is West Ham United; and despite the promise of a shiny new stadium in Stratford being mainly paid for by the taxpayer, something on Tuesday night will be irrevocably lost.
The Boleyn Ground is a sporting cathedral like no other. An old-fashioned stadium tucked away in an unfashionable corner of east London. Going past it on an ordinary day it would appear nondescript. But on matchday, it is impossible to escape the infectious atmosphere down Green Street as fans hustle and bustle their way about, chow down their pie and mash and purchase their copy of Over Land And Sea before making their way into the ground.
And once inside the stadium itself the atmosphere becomes electric. The famous rendition of "I'm forever blowing bubbles" before each match still makes my spine tingle every time. Like an echo chamber, all the noise, the energy, the emotion from the supporters reverberates around the stadium to create a pulsating experience.
As a football fan I've seen matches around the world, from the Nou Camp to the Maracanã, but I can confidently say without bias that you cannot beat the atmosphere you get within the Boleyn Ground. Whilst I find most of what comes out of the mouth of former Fifa president Sepp Blatter repugnant, I have to agree with him when he heralded West Ham's stadium as the second most atmospheric ground in the world and "a must for football romantics".
All of this and more is why I feel the experience of moving to the Olympic Stadium is painful, but necessary. Whilst I certainly have grievances about leaving, I can completely understand why club owners David Gold and Sullivan have taken the decision. The Boleyn was a great stadium for the past 112 years, but we need a new ground for the 21st century.
The Olympic Stadium, just a stone's-throw away in Stratford, will provide increased capacity, better transport links and improved hospitality facilities, a venue that will generate increased revenue and flag up the club as an attractive investment opportunity to overseas billionaire investors in the future. In a Premier League era of ruthless global ambition, there can be no room left for rose-tinted nostalgia for the way things used to be.
Yes, there are many hurdles still to be overcome. The whole botched process for the stadium's legacy, with Newham council contributing a £40m ($58m, €51m) loan towards the refurbishment of the Olympic Stadium will rankle for some time to come.
The loss of the pre-match atmosphere down Green Street will be hard to recreate in Stratford's sterile Westfield shopping centre. Hardest of all will be trying to recreate the same febrile atmosphere at Upton Park in a stadium almost twice the size.
But I'm confident it can work. As for those fans at the Boleyn who might try and nick their seats - it's not the seats that make the stadium, it's the supporters who sit on them.
The club have already sold out over 50,000 season tickets for next season, proving not only that the fan base is strong enough to fill the 60,00 capacity stadium, but that our season ticket supporter base is the largest in London, bigger than those at Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for West Ham to grow their fan base out from the traditional East End to Essex and become a club that represents all of east London and the south east. The achievements of the past will never be forgotten, but we have a chance now to forge a brave new future, one that I can't wait to see unfold. West Ham's time at the Boleyn may be over, but I'll be forever blowing bubbles. | <urn:uuid:8bf5ebfb-feda-408e-8ca2-69bbe5814d80> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/west-ham-boleyn-ground-goodbye-painful-new-stadium-offers-bright-future-hammers-1559110 | 2019-06-25T12:15:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999838.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625112522-20190625134522-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.953809 | 899 | [

I’d like to introduce to you all my featured author of the month, Joanne Leucyer! Joanne has been working for the Canadian federal government for over 25 years, with the last half in corporate communications and more recently as a change management advisor on corporate projects. She is also a professional and personal coach and a Reiki Master. Joanne’s favorite past-time is writing children’s books and doing writing workshops with kids. “I feel that my imagination has been in over-drive since 2009—I’m loving it! I consider myself as an eternal learner.” Joanne lives in a small rural community outside of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with her husband Rick, their dog Kato and cat Black Magic. Joanne and her husband both love watching animated movies–especially the ones for kids (Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Rango, Epic, and so many more…). They also enjoy time with friends and family.
Sierra: When did you first start writing and when did you finish your first book?
Joanne: I’ve been writing stories for children for about 5 years now. The seed was planted in 2004 after spending a weekend with my younger brother. He’s a graphic artist and has always been extremely creative. On my way home, I felt that I just had to jot a story down on some scraps of paper. I called it Topsyturvia. When I got home, I filed the pages away.
In 2009, I got an urge to transcribe the story into my computer and just kept adding to it. At about 6,000 words, I decided to read it to my husband (who can sometimes be brutally honest). He told me that he thought it was a very good story. With a boost of confidence, I gave a copy to a few colleagues with children and they liked it too. My brother is currently working on the illustrations. Once I had that book written, more stories starting popping into my mind. In 2010, I published my first book The Witch, the Cat and the Egg.
Sierra: Tell us a little bit about your first book or the first book in the series.
Joanne: My first book, The Witch, the Cat and the Egg, was inspired by the Disney books I read as a child. I’ve always loved stories with princesses, fairies, magic, wizards and dragons. With magic anything is possible. I also love animals. The main characters, and the forest creatures, remind me of the magical stories that I read when I was young. The young witch, named Juliane, is a mixture of all the female characters that I loved in Disney books and movies like Cinderella and Snow White. Juliane is happy, kind, and loves to help others. She is friends with all the magical creatures of the forest. When I was a young girl, I loved walking through the woods. I wished that I could talk to animals. I still do! We have a small forest behind our house in the country. It’s my magical place that inspires me.
I had no idea that I would be writing a series. But, the idea for the sequel, The Witch, the Cat and the Water Dragon, came as I was working on the final chapter. There will be a book 3 in 2016.
Sierra: How did you choose the genre you write in?
Joanne: In my job, I write a lot of reports, email messages, presentations, and facilitate working groups, etc. Writing children’s fantasy stories sometimes seems like a stretch. But it feels like it has come naturally. Writing kids’ positive fantasy books is very liberating and therapeutic! I believe that you can have a great story without limbs flying or guns going off. There is a lot of beauty and wonder in the world and I want to have kids tap into that. I want them to read something that is fun that will give them something good to dream about.
Sierra: What is one of your favorite chapters (or part) to write?
Joanne: That’s a tough question to answer. The story evolves as I write it. I’m usually amazed at end, when I’m re-reading it, that I actually wrote the story.
Sierra: Is anything in your books that is based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?
Joanne: The stories come mainly from my imagination. But, they are peppered by my thoughts, feeling and values. I do base some of my characters on people I know, sometimes I use their names.
Sierra: Is there any particular author or book that influenced you in any way either growing up or as an adult?
Joanne: Did I mention that I really enjoy fiction and fantasy! I don’t have one favorite author. For me it’s all about the story. I have to like the premise and the characters, also the flow of the writing. For children’s books, I would have to say all the Disney classics. That’s what I grew up reading. Other books that stand out are The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and The Chrysalids. As for Y/A and adult books, Harry Potter of course. My husband and I are reading an oldie but goodie trilogy about Merlin, The Crystal Cave, by Mary Stewart (Merlin is my favourite character). I’m also reading a French series called Les chevaliers d’Émeraude (The Emerald Knights) by Anne Robillard – there are 12 books and I’m only on book 3. I’m half-way through the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth. I really enjoy the style and pace of her writing. Did I mention I’m a Gemini? There are two of me to keep busy!
Sierra: Do you ever experience writers block?
Joanne: Not yet! In my case, I don’t stress about having to work on only one book at a time. I work on the one that pops into my head. During the spring and summer, I focus on completing the book that I will publish for the fall.
Sierra: Is there an author that you would really like to meet?
Joanne: J.K. Rowling – I’d love to talk about magic and wizardry with her over tea. J.R.R. Tolkien – If he were alive, I’d want to sit in a hobbit hole in New Zealand with him and ask what he thinks of Peter Jackson’s rendition of the creature Gollum in the movies The Lord of the Rings. Does he feel that the essence and likeness of the character was captured the way he had imagined it.
Sierra: Will you have a new book coming out soon? If so, can you tell us about it?
Joanne: I have 2 books coming out in October.
In The Witch, the Cat and the Water Dragon, the story continues with Juliane who is a young witch and forest guide to the magical Forest of Ennyar. The egg she had transported has now hatched and Tarak the last magical water dragon has emerged. As Juliane and the dragon will learn, friendship and courage will be required to face the unknown, and help save magic and the forest. For the images, I had to find a new illustrator. I met Brooke Alexander at a book fair in Ottawa, Ontario. As I watched her drawing with color pencils, I realized that she would be perfect to illustrate the sequel. Brooke is a wonderfully talented illustrator.
In My Friend Merlin, I decided to create a story around one of my favorite characters the wizard Merlin. I added a few twists on the legend, to make him more accessible to kids. A young druid boy named Merlin shows a young Prince Arthur that magic can be used to do good despite what King Uther and his followers have come to believe. It’s the tale of the meeting of Arthur and Merlin and how they changed the fate of magic. The book contains over 20 amazing color images by a Canadian illustrator, Rich Lauzon. Rich and I met at a Geek Market in Ottawa, Ontario a few years ago. He was drawing an image of a young boy and a dragon, which gave me the inspiration to start writing the story. I used it as the first image in Chapter 1 of the book. I’m sure the kids, even adults, will love his illustrations as much as I do.
Sierra: If you could go back and do it all over again, is there any aspect of your first book or getting it published that you would change?
Joanne: I don’t think I would change anything. A small local publisher, my husband and friends gave me just the right amount of encouragement to get me to actually print the first book.
Sierra: Do you have any advice to give to aspiring writers?
Joanne: I would say, write down your ideas when you get them. Don’t try to edit your own work. A good editor is your friend. Write the best story you can and ask friends, colleagues, people that don’t know you well to be your test readers. They can help find the holes in the story and give you ideas. Of course, you don’t have to take all the suggestions. But I do think that considering them makes for a better story in the end.
Read your story out loud (a few times). Doing this really helps pinpoint the spots that don’t flow, or are boring, etc. Don’t be afraid to re-write, scrap an idea, a whole paragraph, and even a few pages. Save them in another file in case you can use them for the sequel or another book.
Sierra: Is there anything you would like to say to your readers and fans?
Joanne: My wish is that my readers will feel good after reading the story and looking at the images. I also hope that it may spark their creative juices and hopefully inspire them to create their own stories and images.

It was a simple message from 13 year old Asha Melville, but one that left a lasting impression on a class of Year Two students during a recent visit to North Woodvale Primary School.
Asha dropped in on the seven and eight year olds after learning about some of the great work the school has been doing in celebrating diversity and implementing programs to help kids build positive relationships.
Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at age 4, Asha has never been one to let her disability stand in her way. A keen dancer, singer and hard-working student at St Mark’s Anglican Community School, Asha hoped her story of facing challenges head-on would inspire a younger generation.
Asha spoke to the class about what cerebral palsy is, how it can affect different people in different ways and how she has overcome the physical challenges she faces daily, including having to work extra hard on her hand-writing and also how she adapts to situations such as school sport.
Asha says her regular sessions with Ability Centre physio Rowan Johnson have made a huge difference in helping her take-on all the activities she loves so much including her jazz and ballet classes.
“I wanted the kids to see that even though cerebral palsy is something I have to live with every day, it doesn’t mean I can’t achieve what I love,” she said.
“I also wanted them to understand that even though I may be a little different, I’m really just like everyone else, with dreams and plans and things I want to do.”
For class teacher Rachael Robertson, winner of the Western Australian Positive Teacher of the Year Award 2016, Asha’s visit was a wonderful re-enforcement of everything she has been teaching her class about diversity and acceptance.
“We have spent the year celebrating differences in our community and learning about accepting those differences and being proud of who we are. Asha’s talk to our students consolidates everything we have been doing.”
It’s likely this won’t be the last time Asha stands up in front of a class, this vibrant teenager has her own dreams of one day becoming a teacher so she can continue to spread the word that anything is possible. | <urn:uuid:42eaae97-9c49-4f16-a5ed-4cc01f0c1e16> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.abilitycentre.com.au/news-events/news/2017/january/follow-your-dreams-you-ll-be-great/ | 2019-06-16T08:34:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998084.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616082703-20190616104703-00030.warc.gz | en | 0.975347 | 475 | [

Stellar Investment Could Make Crypto as Easy as Chat
Settling a tab in crypto tokens?
While the idea may seem far from mainstream, it’s actually at the center of a deal that finds the non-profit behind the world’s eighth-largest blockchain, the Stellar Development Foundation, funding the co-founders of OKCupid and their new cryptography-centric startup, Keybase.

One of the best gifts we are given is intuition. That inner knowing, the hunch, the feeling that something is not right or is goosebump producing perfect. This is our intuition. The good news is we can develop this subtle sense and rely on it time and time again. We can even use it to talk to our Guardian Angel, deceased loved ones and to the Divine Itself! What a prize possession we have!
My first book How to Talk and Actually Listen to Your Guardian Angel outlines and gives specific exercises to practice opening to communication from other realms and dimensions. It works, it really does. The more you converse with spirit, the better you will get at being aware of their “voices” and communication style.
The spirit world isn’t as limited in communication as we are on the physical plane. We talk with voice, hear with ears, and see with eyes. On the astral or angelic realms the sky is the limit and angels are very creative and specific in how they communicate. It is an energy transfer. It can be a picture in our imagination, a sound just as clear as what we hear with our ears or a feeling that comes from the inside out. They are very creative and spot on with what they want to say. Always honest and loving – angels and spirit guides love to assist with guidance and boost our spirits in a variety of ways.
Have you talked to your Guardian Angel today? Ask and see what they have to say. | <urn:uuid:d27bd989-2284-45bc-951a-de715cda4c87> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://kermiewohlenhaus.com/blog/page/2/ | 2019-06-19T21:46:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999041.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619204313-20190619230313-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.965363 | 305 | [

After anal rape or insertion of objects into the anus of either gender, pain and bleeding can occur for days or weeks. This often leads to constipation, which can be exacerbated by the poor diet in many places of detention. Gastrointestinal and urinary symptoms may also occur. Generally, visual inspection of the anogenital region is sufficient to find scarring and other lesions of the skin. The focus of the examination will depend on the history. In the acute phase, any examination beyond visual inspection may require local or general anaesthesia and should be performed by a specialist. For example, If an individual has persistent bleeding after an object was pushed through the anus, there may be scarring of the rectal mucosa and this can be looked for by proctoscopy. In the chronic phase, several symptoms may persist, and they should be investigated. There may be anal scars of unusual size or position, and these should be documented. Anal fissures may persist for many years, but it is normally impossible to differentiate between those caused by torture and those caused by other mechanisms. On examination of the anus, the following findings should be looked for and documented:
- Fissures tend to be non-specific findings as they can occur in a number of “normal” situations (constipation, poor hygiene). However, when seen in an acute situation (i.e. within 72 hours) fissures are more specific findings and can be considered evidence of penetration;
- Rectal tears with or without bleeding may be noted;
- Disruption of the rugal pattern may manifest as smooth fan-shaped scarring. When these scars are seen out of midline (i.e. not at 12 or 6 o’clock), they can be an indication of penetrating trauma;
- Skin tags, which can be the result of healing trauma;
- Purulent discharge from the anus. Cultures should be taken for gonorrhoea and chlamydia in all cases of alleged rectal penetration, regardless of whether a discharge is noted.
Following rape, the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases should be considered and local protocols followed. If there is any possibility of the perpetrator being prosecuted, air dried internal and external anal swabs can be taken up to five days after the rape, even if the survivor has defecated, and stored for DNA testing. | <urn:uuid:b3fb90d7-7d60-4217-ac2c-2cbb2337f6ca> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://phrtoolkits.org/toolkits/istanbul-protocol-model-medical-curriculum/module-5-physical-evidence-of-torture-and-ill-treatment/perianal-examination/print/ | 2019-06-19T20:52:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999041.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619204313-20190619230313-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.938201 | 482 | [

In the middle of the week, after staying late at the office for three days in a row, it can be much easier to make a stop at a fast-food restaurant on the way home than even think about cooking a healthy meal for you and your family. Surprisingly, though, cooking healthy meals can be really easy if you follow these simple tips.
Plan a Weekly Menu
The best way to keep yourself from eating pizza and takeout all week is to plan a weekly menu of foods that you will make during the week. On the weekend, take a few minutes to look through your cookbooks or search the internet for great recipes you want to try, make a grocery list, and go buy all the ingredients you'll need for the week. Keep in mind that you can save money by making several meals with the same ingredients, and this also helps to avoid wasting food. You can make burgers one night and tacos the next, for example, all while using the same ground beef and veggies. Write down your menu and tape it to the refrigerator so everyone in your family knows what you're having, and so you're held accountable for making the food you planned to make. Creatively using leftovers can also be a real time-saver and help you cook healthier meals each night.
Chop in Advance
No one wants to come home after a long day at work and stand on their feet in the kitchen, chopping vegetables. Immediately after you get home from the grocery store, chop everything you'll need for the week and store it in reusable containers. You can even organize your containers based on what meal you'll be cooking, so all you have to do is come home, take out the proper containers, and toss them in the pan.
Buy Frozen Foods
Frozen foods are a great time-saver. I'm not talking about frozen pizza or TV dinners, here. If you're trying to eat healthy, you probably want to avoid those items! However, steam-in-bag vegetables and pre-marinated meats are a great way to eat healthy without spending too much time preparing a meal. They're easy to pop in the microwave or oven right after work, and they taste great, too. Just be sure you thaw your meat before going to work so you don't have to spend time doing that when you get home.
Cook With Colors
People eat with their eyes as much as their taste buds, and part of making healthy meals appetizing is making them look good. Make it your goal with each meal to put as many colorful foods on the plate as possible. Have green and orange vegetables, white and yellow cheeses and breads, and blue and red fruits with every meal. This will not only make your plate look delicious, but it will help you get all of your key nutrients, too. It helps, also, if you divide your plate into four, putting a different piece of the meal - and of the food pyramid - in each segment. This can help ensure you get all you need to keep you going through a busy work week.
The Simpler the Better
You don't have to "master the art of French cooking" to be a great chef. When looking for recipes, a good rule of thumb to follow is the simpler the better. Recipes with five to ten ingredients are usually the best, especially for the work week. You don't need to make a Thanksgiving feast every night. Just some really good meat and veggies will do the trick. | <urn:uuid:9b5d9fe2-a1eb-4e5a-ad42-435f3379b227> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://nutrineat.com/quick-tips-to-make-eating-healthy-easier | 2019-06-24T10:50:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999482.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624104413-20190624130413-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.97167 | 709 | [

Solihull Shortlisted for Independent School Awards
Independent School Awards 2014
Solihull School has received official recognition for its outstanding service to the local community after being short-listed for the Outstanding Community Initiative Award in the 5th annual Independent School Awards. Solihull was selected from hundreds of nominations from across the UK as a finalist in the fifth Independent Schools Awards.
Solihull is one of four fee-paying schools and the only from the West Midlands in the running for the prestigious Outstanding Community Initiative Award, the winner of which will be announced at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel in front of hundreds of guests on Thursday, November 13.
The school was commended for its ‘Community Begins at School’ campaign of 2013 that resulted in pupils raising almost £10,000 for community projects within one mile of its campus.
The initiatives included supporting the building and maintenance of Solihull’s new Marie Curie Hospice, bringing children across the borough together musically through ‘Solihull Sings’, raising awareness of the community’s homeless, and working with Solihull Library to extend its local history resources.
Reaching the finals of the Independent Schools Awards is a tremendous honour for Solihull. The Awards not only recognise and showcase excellence but also enable us to provide a benchmark of achievement for the sector as a whole.
The Independent Schools Awards are run by the publishers of Funding for Independent Schools Magazine, and more latterly in conjunction with the Times Educational Supplement. | <urn:uuid:350e1549-fefa-47f8-b3ce-b217ddeaa640> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.solsch.org.uk/news/?pid=65&nid=3&storyid=91 | 2019-06-24T10:45:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999482.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624104413-20190624130413-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.962347 | 311 | [

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night.
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.
Lets create today variation of composition “Far Away from Misty Mountains Cold …” from film Hobbit in DAW REAPER. MIDI notes I took from Internet, thank you goes to their original author; there was almost no need to change anything in them, I only made pauses in the beginning and at the end of composition. There were only 2 instruments : playing main melody and basses, I added 1 track with additional basses to enhance composition. Melody is played by instrument DSK Overture with french horm ( to this instrument I added band compressor ) and ESI Piano, their united sound is processed by reverberation. First basses party is played by instrument DSK Strings with violas section and cello and effects phaser and small reverberation; second basses part is played by DSK Brass with french horn and tuba instrument, the same way processed by phaser and small reverberation. Via this link completed composition in FLAC format and archive with project file and sounds can be downloaded : Far Away from Misty Mountains Cold … ( Hobbit ) in DAW REAPER.
To mixed sound I applied compressor, which does not give to spikes to overflow dynamic range, and at the same time did not overcompressed it too much to leave a freedom for the movement; this way compressor touches only singular spikes areas and lets other parts to play freely. Also I increased its Release parameter, so that on the spikes following each other closely volume movement is not noticeable. Main melody instrument has one area, on which sounds with 1 – 1.5 kHz frequency are very loud; I applied band compressor to it, to reduce its volume, so that it does not cut the hearing. And made smooth automation of its Threshold parameter, so that it will not touch other areas of composition and descended to needed volume only on this part. Then, to make compositions parts more highlighted and differentiating from each other, without loose of interest and intensity, I smoothly switched off second basses track in the beginning of composition and enabled it only on the first and second strong parts, disabling it at the conclusion as well. Second part is stronger, than the first one, due to high intensity of composition, and is a culmination of the whole soundtrack, so I did not changed anything in them to increase their differentiation.
Also in the Internet I found MIDI keyboards emulator FreePiano 2, which allows to play music on usual computer keyboard and record MIDI notes; there is also ability to plug in to it different VST instruments, to hear sound close to the result, and there is ability to set layout in a convenient way. It allows to control different MIDI parameters of the track, such as sustain pedal signal, notes velocity, octaves shifting and others; after notes recording, there is ability to import them into DAW and perform more fragile notes tweaking in editor, for example, correct their timings or presses velocities. With it I made small addition in the composition conclusion, repeating basses notes, for more melodic epilogue.
Before compressors application I also balanced volumes of instruments, so that they play in accordance with each other and do not silence each other; with compressors I only withheld volume’s peaks, leading to overflows, when all other parts play in composition. I also have MIDI notes of Song of the Lonely Mountain, it is very much like this one, but longer and more complex and melodic, I’ll make its variation next time, shaping it to my taste. This is all for today, look in the REAPER project for details and write your questions in the comments, see you next time. | <urn:uuid:d7b726e2-81b9-46d3-9172-211653b0cd65> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://imagination-works.ru/2016/03/13/far-away-from-misty-mountains-cold-hobbit-in-daw-reaper/ | 2019-06-25T15:49:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999853.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625152739-20190625174739-00270.warc.gz | en | 0.957416 | 814 | [

"A-8SC" Sole Classics x Vans (photography, direction, & design)
The Vault by Vans Sk8 Hi Zip LX "A-8SC" by Sole Classics released in January of 2015. I was fortunate to be on the design team along with Dionte' Johnson and Valdeaz Scales. Together, we designed the Vans Sk8 Hi Zip LX that told the story of a man from Ohio that made it to the moon. Our marketing campaign reached millions and created worldwide hype. The shoe sold out instantly in-store (100+ foot line wrapped around the block [in January, it was freezing!]) and online on our web-store.

Hot bitumen (or asphalt) is still the advised solution to install cellular glass on a roof. A movie of GLAPOR shows how the plates are almost submersed in the viscous liquid. The result is a vapour tight thermal insulation, avoiding any internal condensation and resisting large wind loads. For cellular glass roofs, typically bitumen 85/25 is used, which is an oxidized bitumen. These bitumens have superior characteristics, which are important for a flat roof. Most bitumen originates from crude oil and can be considered as waste during the production of gasoline, diesel, … .But it has also important disadvantages:
- In order to liquefy, we have to heat it above 180°C, which induces always a fire risk on the job site.
- To heat it up, we need a heating equipment on the roof, which needs always attention.
- The hot liquid can of course induce severe injuries on the skin when hot.
But there are also serious heath risks. Oxidized bitumen is by the IARC, part of the World Health Organization , classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A). The other bitumens, namely the ones for mastic work and road paving have a lower classification: “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B).
It is now the target to find an alternative, which is liquid without heating during installation of the cellular glass boards and hardens very fast to allow the installation of the next layer. On top of that, it has to be cheap like bitumen. Personally, I doubt that the joints can have a lot of internal condensation and for that reason, I suggest to consider a ceramic alternative based on natural hydraulic lime. | <urn:uuid:c2ee5af4-220d-4e08-81d3-b1892bd70e8a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://belglas.com/2015/11/04/hot-bitumen/ | 2019-06-25T16:15:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999853.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625152739-20190625174739-00270.warc.gz | en | 0.9468 | 362 | [

This week Alisa at Where’s my backpack has chosen Time as her weekly Travel Theme. I am always watching the time trying to coordinate multiple projects and schedules for both my work and my family so I thought this would be an easy post to illustrate with a great image. A quick look through my pictures though didn’t uncover a single image of an interesting clock or anything that immediately said “time”. Apparently when I am out having fun and taking pictures I don’t want to be reminded that the hours are passing and the lists are waiting to be checked off!
I decided to post two pictures today from a memorable trip to Santa Fe, NM. This was my third visit to the area and each time I am there I love the contrasts between the lush green of my home state and the old Adobe architecture and history of New Mexico.
This street is just off the popular Santa Fe Plaza and the buildings date from the early 1600’s. If you look closely at the center of the sidewalk you can see a stop sign that was cut to fit between the posts and roofline directing modern car traffic to wait for pedestrians at the cross walk. I like to think its a reminder to stop hurrying through the day and take a look at what is around you.
This picture is from Bandelier National Monument and shows the entrance to one of the amazing cliff dwellings that fill this valley. The Ancestral Pueblo people lived here from approximately 1150 CE to 1550 CE and the modern ladders allow each visitor to climb up into the caves and take a moment to feel what it would have been like to call them home.
If you would like to follow Alisa’s adventures and participate in these fun Travel Challenges please follow her directions below:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Time
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. | <urn:uuid:f1d0749b-7cde-450a-81c7-249a21b552b3> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://nwframeofmind.com/2013/03/22/travel-theme-time/ | 2019-06-26T20:40:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.961597 | 433 | [

A stroke of inspiration
This is Priya. Priya has been an early and enthusiastic adopter of Perx and she’s also one of the most inspirational people we’ve met through this journey.
Three years ago, she was living her life like any other 24-year-old, pursuing her passions of photography, health and fitness.
In July 2015, after a week of feeling ill, she was admitted to hospital and then to the ICU after having multiple seizures. She had experienced a stroke and haemorrhage caused by multiple blood clots in her brain. Over the next three weeks they found further blood clots in her legs and lungs. Fortunate to have some great doctors, nurses and neurosurgeons, Priya’s fitness and fighting spirit saw her survive.
After spending 5 weeks in hospital she was discharged with a fierce determination to get back her life back. In a recovery full of ups and down she’s chosen to focus on the positive. In July last year, she was given clearance by her doctor to get back in the gym and ever since has embodied her daily mantra of ‘Wake Up. Kick Ass. Repeat’. She has since run over 200km in a month and raised almost $1400 for the Stroke Foundation. She also writes about her experience in her blog which is well worth a read – check it out!
Since she started using the Perx app, Priya has continued to take control of her health. Her adherence rate is 98% which is truly exceptional! She’s been rewarded with numerous movie tickets, fuel vouchers and donations to charity. In Priya’s own words:
I never had to take medication before the stroke, so of course I used to forget at times. Perx has been great in keeping me in check and the rewards that you can win are a wonderful motivation. Without Perx, I wouldn’t remember to take my medication half the time!
Congratulations Priya – you’re an inspiration to us all and we’re very proud to have you as part of the Perx family. Keep on kicking ass! | <urn:uuid:1772310d-728d-4c1e-814f-a7cfc9055da8> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://perxhealth.com/priyas-story/ | 2019-06-26T19:54:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.981923 | 445 | [

Capturing the special travel moments of our customers' lives is the soul of our existence, our daily breath and our constant inspiration. One beloved customer, Nicole of First-Class Belongings, not only allows us to document her vacations to gorgeous destinations, but takes us on a timeless journey through her fashion and location choices. In today's post, we've asked Nicole to share some of her thoughts and motivations behind her very fashionable travels.
Q. Who are you and what does travel mean to you?
I am a NYC-based furniture designer and creator of my future travel & fashion blog, First-Class Belongings (launch date TBA). I have been traveling from a very early age. I travel because it makes me feel alive and inspired. I travel because it’s humbling to know how much bigger the universe is than my own insignificant problems. I strongly believe that if we were all given a ticket to travel the world there would be less hate and intolerance. Traveling really helps one realize “it’s a small world after all.” When you talk to people around the world, you discover that we are all pretty much striving for the same thing. We all want to live happy and healthy lives.
Q. Please talk about your interest in photography and documenting your travels.
A defining moment was when my great uncle gave me his old B&W photo albums from when he was traveling through Europe during WW2. Seeing these images as a child set a strong fascination to see the world, and it also lead to my interest in photography. I got my first camera when I was 15 years old. After I graduated from college, I moved to NYC to intern with one of the most prestigious fine art photography dealers to explore a career in art dealing. I also spent some time interning in the darkroom for Kenro Izu, an acclaimed Japanese photographer. My love for photography has come full circle. I’m now picking up a camera again to document my travels, while meeting amazing photographers around the world who capture me seeing new places for the first time.
Q. Please tell us about how you discovered Flytographer and your experience working with us.
I decided to start having my travels documented last year. My first shoot was set at a private airport. We took very glamorous shots on a private jet. I brought my 1960 Chrysler Imperial to the airplane hanger. I really wanted to capture images that had a cinematic quality, like an old black-and-white film.
I found Flytographer simply by researching travel photographers online. I had originally been sourcing my own photographers, but I felt a little intimidated and uncomfortable as a woman traveling alone meeting with total strangers in foreign lands. Flytographer gives me peace of mind knowing the photographers are with a reliable company. My experience has been really positive working with Flytographer. I give my vision for the shoot to [Shoot Concierge] Jen and she conveys it to the photographers. We set a time and date, and like clockwork they’ve always been at the shoot on time. It’s also really nice having a local show me around and capture me seeing their city for the first time through their lens.
Q. We are crazy about the fabulous fashion in each of your shoots! How do you plan your outfits and style?
The most satisfying part of my travels is planning the locations and what I will wear. I usually wear vintage clothing, but I have been recently designing my own custom clothing for the shoots inspired by vintage fashion. When I travel, I study important female figures from that culture; for example, for Mexico City, I was inspired by Frida Kahlo and tried to emulate her style for the photo shoot. The unglamorous side of things you don’t see is when I’m schlepping overweight luggage from airport to airport, city to city! Sometimes I wish that I traveled in jeans and a t-shirt…but I can’t compromise my vision to bring elegance & style to my shoots.
Q. Please talk about your sweet little suitcase and its significance in every shoot!
The vintage luggage “valise” that I carry is a symbol of the way people used to travel in the past: an era when people took great pride in their appearance. Frankly, travel in today’s world is not something that makes an individual feel dignified. I try and create a fantasy of the old times through the editorial shoots. I wear vintage clothing and set shoots at historic sites. This all ties into symbols of the past that I admire.
Q. What stories can you share about each of your past shoots with Flytographer?
Ufuk was such a great host in Istanbul – he really took the time to be my tour guide to a city I’ve never visited before, and I got to see places that I would never have found in a guidebook. I took a taxi to meet him at the shoot because I didn’t want to mess up my hair and make-up – but toward the end of the shoot, I decided to risk it and hop on the back of his Vespa to get to our last few shots. It turned out to be so much fun seeing the city zip by and feeling the cool breeze on a very hot summer day. And if you’ve ever been to Istanbul, you know how chaotic traffic is! But sometimes it’s the most fun when we break out of our comfort zone. I can’t wait to go back and visit more places in Turkey – it would be great to shoot with Ufuk again!
I wore myself into the ground from traveling all summer in Europe. I had only been home in the U.S. for a few days when I was off again, this time to Mexico. I was very sick, so I pushed myself hard to do this shoot. Valeria was so talented and easy to work with, and I really appreciated her being so kind with me in my unwell state. We walked through the little streets of Coyoacán in Mexico City searching for colourful backdrops and hidden gardens. Our last stop of the day was at Frida Kahlo’s house. By the time we got there, I was only able to stand up for a few more shots!
NEW YORK CITY
Gonçalo from Paris was in New York City for Fashion Week, and he was my photographer for the day as we walked though Lincoln Center taking in all of the glamour & glitz of NYFW. I wore couture outfits I had designed and made for the shoot. We quickly made our way next to Rockefeller Center to shoot incredible views overlooking the entire city. We were both in awe. It was Gonçalo’s first trip to NYC, and in all my years living here, I never took advantage of doing touristy things. I think our excitement of seeing the city from that vantage point for the first time really transcended in the photos.
Andrea and I set out to capture images of a modern-day girl in love with old Hollywood. I adore the style and grace personified by movie stars like Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis & Audrey Hepburn. We visited some iconic landmarks where these stars once set foot, and I wore my hair in pin curls and vintage-inspired clothing. Andrea is an absolute doll! Our day in Los Angeles felt like two girlfriends just exploring the city. She drove me around and I changed into each outfit in the backseat of the car. It was rather hilarious and a good way to get to know someone quickly! With the glamorous Hollywood photos she captured, you would never imagine me sweating in the backseat of a car while struggling to get my fishnet stockings on.
Q. And next up – you have scheduled several Flytographer shoots in Asia this spring. Can you tell us what you are planning for each city?
I’m excited about this trip to Asia! It all started because I was invited to the grand opening of a children’s hospital in Laos. My friend Kenro Izu of Friends Without a Border is a remarkable man. He started a hospital for children in Cambodia, and it was so successful that a second hospital is opening to help more children receive proper medical care. Can you imagine so many children’s lives have been saved because a photographer started a hospital? Each year I travel to NY to help volunteer for their annual photography auction, which raises money to support the hospital.
Well, I figured since I was traveling all the way to South East Asia, I should take the time to explore! My first stop will be Hong Kong. I will hit the ground running – I’m only there for two days! My first day will start off with my Flytographer shoot with Michelle, doing a quick tour of the city. Then I’ll be heading to Laos and shooting with a photographer I met through a friend. From there I’ll be in Began, Myanmar where we will be doing a sunrise shoot with Tracy from a hot air balloon. In Chang Mai, Thailand, I hope to capture some glamorous high fashion shots at an elephant camp. I plan to also take some time to soak in the culture in Bhutan. Finally, I’ll end up in Tokyo, one of my favourite cities in the world. It will be nice to catch up with friends at the end of my Asia tour. Perhaps we’ll even do one last shoot – I’m thinking Harajuku girl fashion!
I’ve been so busy traveling, styling my shoots, planning each vacation and running my furniture company, I haven’t had the time to devote to getting my own travel blog up and running yet! In the meantime, I am building a following on social media. After I return from Asia in March, I plan to take some time off from travel to devote working on the blog – ideally from an office in Paris.
Thank you for sharing your photos and story, Nicole! We love all your shoots and can’t wait to see the beautiful images from your trip to Asia. xo | <urn:uuid:3c57ac35-5905-46cb-b311-08ce304d4a2b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.flytographer.com/blog/first-class-travel-style-flytographer-vacation-photographer/ | 2019-06-26T20:35:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.969568 | 2,092 | [

Atop the Nice Wall, the winter wind was biting and the crisp air surprisingly clear. Two days earlier once I’d flown into Beijing, the colours of the sundown had been muted within the hazy sky.
Looking from the airplane window, I had strained to catch my first glimpse of the megalopolis from above. Beijing is notorious for its polluted air, however that day on the Nice Wall the sky was clear with only a little bit of haze selecting the mountains within the distance.
The 2700-some years of historical past beneath my toes mix with different sections of the wall stretching a whopping complete of 13,171 miles to the east and the west. The superior scale of these numbers takes a minute to completely sink in.
Your entire journey to Beijing had been a whirlwind, from rapidly finishing my visa within the 24 hours earlier than I used to be scheduled to depart Mexico Metropolis and head residence to the States for Thanksgiving, to the 22 hours it’d taken me to fly from Mexico Metropolis to Vancouver, and at last the 12-hour lengthy flight that introduced me into Beijing.
However on the Nice Wall, all this frantic preparation blew away within the chilly breeze. There’s one thing about visiting the Wonders of the World and witnessing these unparalleled feats of lasting human creativity.
Throughout this latest journey to Beijing, China, the place I stayed for a fast three-day 72-hour journey, I realized that China is a rustic of partitions.
Past the Nice Wall there are a number of lesser partitions which might be additionally necessary in Chinese language tradition. Beijing, we realized, had a large metropolis wall, replete with 9 metropolis gates, which had been eliminated in 1960s beneath the political impetus of the ultimate phases of The Nice Leap Ahead (1958-1961). The house, too, can also be typically protected by a wall.
The Forbidden Metropolis
One other palpable barrier within the metropolis, and in Chinese language historical past, is between frequent individuals and the noble, elite ruling class. The distinction between the 2 courses is clearly demarcated and even color-coded. Common buildings within the metropolis are a boring gray, whereas the Forbidden Metropolis, in distinction, is awash in vivid reds and its exact detailing in hues of inexperienced, blue, and gold.
The Forbidden Metropolis is additional separated by the moat that surrounds it, a medieval defence system to enhance all of the partitions. From the Forbidden Metropolis you possibly can spot pagoda’s on a ridge a number of kilometers away. Actually, the ridge was created by the dust that had been dredged out across the partitions to assemble the moat.
The Forbidden Metropolis is huge. After making our means by the grandiose entrance, we spent hours wandering by the principle open-air passageways. It was rumored to have 9,999.5 rooms, half a room lower than God’s palace which was stated to have 10,000 rooms. The precise room rely is at 8,704 rooms.
The Forbidden Metropolis is the imperial metropolis constructed throughout the Ming dynasty and utilized by the royal households all through the Qing dynasty, for a complete of practically 500 years from 1420-1912.
24 emperors lived right here over the span of those two dynasties. Past offering housing for royalty, the Forbidden Metropolis was additionally the political heart of town and the location of an important ceremonies.
The Nice Wall of China
The Nice Wall, at over 13,000 miles lengthy, is the longest wall on the planet. Early development on some elements of the wall started in seventh century BC throughout the Ming dynasty. Naturally, the wall has modified considerably over that point, with new sections being constructed and others falling into disuse.
Badaling,the part of the wall we visited was nearly 300 miles from Mongolia, and it might’ve been constructed to guard from invading forces of the Huns. The wall itself is about 20 toes tall and it was constructed, largely, by slaves and poor farmers.
Chinese language meals is ubiquitous all through the world. However as any traveler is aware of, “Chinese language” delicacies is a cultural chameleon of kinds, amazingly adaptable to the tastes of the native nation wherever it’s discovered, so I used to be curious to strive the unique, genuine delicacies and it didn’t disappoint.
Each meal was a colourful array of many plates served on a lazy susan and shared household type. There have been many various preparations of greens, from black Chinese language mushrooms to bok-choy and Chinese language broccoli. As a bonus, I found how a lot I really like fried yam.
One other spotlight was having dinner on the well-known Quanjade Roast Duck restaurant, the place recent roast duck was carved for us proper on the desk. Roast duck is a Chinese language delicacy that has traditionally been reserved for emperors, and the restaurant we visited has been very profitable in rendering this delicacy accessible to the lots.
Conventional Chinese language Drugs
One of the fascinating elements of touring to China was studying about Conventional Chinese language Drugs (TCM). TCM has existed in China for hundreds of years and to this present day it continues to be a quite common observe in lots of Chinese language households.
Problematic components of TCM consists of the poaching that it has generated, notably concerning using rhino horns, that are thought to be a really potent ingredient in lots of remedies.
In response to the practitioners we spoke with, legal guidelines have been handed to guard these endangered species and TCM practitioners are required to search out different treatments, though issues with poaching persist and TCM has definitely contributed to this ongoing drawback.
Tigers and bears are additionally thought of to have potent medicinal qualities. In complete, animal remedies make up for 8% of TCM components, 91% of components come from crops, and fewer than 1% are mineral based mostly.
TCM remedies embody medicinal teas and medication baggage which might be stated to stop numerous illnesses. There are some TCM soups and different meals that may be discovered at abnormal Chinese language eating places reminiscent of people who line the Wangfujing Market.
Throughout our journey, we drank chrysanthemum tea which may help with complications and dizziness, medication bag to fight the flu. Reiki, tai chi and therapeutic massage are different TCM practices that we skilled throughout the journey.
Sensible Suggestions For Getting Round Beijing
The day I used to be flying out of town, I had the day to discover by myself. There are some apps that actually got here in helpful (even with out being geared up with a SIM card or any sort of native service I used to be in a position to get round on my own and navigate town).
There are three apps specifically that I might advocate downloading.
It is a totally offline translator. You possibly can communicate on to the app and it offers you a translation. It will probably actually turn out to be useful, since there should not very many English audio system.
Pleco is one other Chinese language-English dictionary.
3. Metroman Beijing
Metroman was actually helpful for exploring town by its very environment friendly and inexpensive metro system. This app features a obtain of the complete metro system of Beijing. You possibly can put in your station of origin and your vacation spot and the map offers you a step-by-step rationalization of all of the transfers you must make to get there.
The app consists of how a lot time every leg of the journey will take and the whole price of the journey. It’s totally useful with no service or web connection.
Beijing is a vibrant and engaging metropolis. Historical historical past is built-in with each day life in all places you look, each by the observe of Chinese language Drugs and the traditional structure that’s the backdrop to the bustling metropolis. The savory meals and the unimaginable sights make for an unforgettable journey.

Google Names Latest Mobile Operating System
Sorry, M&M’s, Kisses, and Crunch! Google announced last Tuesday that their latest version of its Android 4.4. Mobile operating system will be called KitKat, you know the chocolate brand that tells you to have a break?
The good news was posted by Google’s executive, Sundar Pichai via the company’s official Google+ page. The news came out following these past months rumors that the new OS will be called Key Lime Pie―seriously?!
Apparently, KitKat is a Hershey brand in the US but a Nestle product worldwide. I still don’t know why that’s the case. Although details about the branded partnership are not yet known, God knows how much marketing money was exchanged in this deal. Kudos though to the fellow behind this idea, 60% more or less of smartphone users will be having KitKat wherever they will go.
When I first heard about this last week, I could not help but research if Google has been doing this practice of naming their mobile OS’ this way. And yes they have, but with desserts, mostly starting with the Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and the more familiar Jelly Bean.
Cross branding will also be visible on the KitKat packaging. The green Android mascot will be shown on the front along with a chance to win a Google Nexus 7 tablet or gift card.
I am sure that this OS will be a treat to android users. I can’t wait to see the release of Google androids next version of OS. One thing’s for sure―it’s definitely going to be a lot sweeter than the last.
To date, the company has surpassed the one billion Android device activation mark and that’s pretty sweet just as it is. Good job Nestle KitKat and Google!

A jam session is a relatively informal musical event, process, or activity where musicians, typically instrumentalists, play improvised solos and vamp on tunes, songs and chord progressions. To "jam" is to improvise music without extensive preparation or predefined arrangements, except for when the group is playing well-known jazz standards or covers of existing popular songs. Original jam sessions, also 'free flow sessions', are often used by musicians to develop new material (music) and find suitable arrangements. Both styles can be used simply as a social gathering and communal practice session. Jam sessions may be based upon existing songs or forms, may be loosely based on an agreed chord progression or chart suggested by one participant, or may be wholly improvisational. Jam sessions can range from very loose gatherings of amateurs to evenings where a jam session coordinator or host acts as a "gatekeeper" to ensure that only appropriate-level performers take the stage, to sophisticated improvised recording sessions by professionals which are intended to be broadcast live on radio or TV or edited and released to the public.
One source for the phrase "jam session" came about in the 1920s when white and black musicians would congregate after their regular paying gigs, to play the jazz they could not play in the "Paul Whiteman" style bands they played in. When Bing Crosby would attend these sessions, the musicians would say he was "jammin' the beat", since he would clap on the one and the three. Thus these sessions became known as "jam sessions". Mezz Mezzrow also gives this more detailed and self-referential description, based on his experience at the jazz speakeasy known as the Three Deuces:
I think the term 'jam session' originated right in that cellar. Long before that, of course, the colored boys used to get together and play for kicks, but those were mostly private sessions, strictly for professional musicians, and the idea was usually to try to cut each other, each one trying to outdo the others and prove himself best. Those impromptu concerts of theirs were generally known as 'cuttin' contests.' Our idea…was to play together, to make the improvisation really collective… Down in that basement concert hall, somebody was always yelling over to me, 'Hey Jelly, what you gonna do?'—they gave me that nickname, or sometimes called me Roll, because I always wanted to play Clarence Williams' '(I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None O' This) Jelly Roll'—and almost every time I'd cap them with, 'Jelly's gonna jam some now,' just as a kind of play on words. We always used the word 'session' a lot, and I think the expression 'jam session' grew up out of this playful yelling back and forth.
The New York scene during World War II was famous for its after-hours jam sessions. One of the most famous was the regular after-hours jam at Minton's Playhouse in New York City that ran in the 1940s and early 1950s. The jam sessions at Minton's were a fertile meeting place and proving ground for both established soloists like Ben Webster and Lester Young, and the younger jazz musicians who would soon become leading exponents of the bebop movement, including Thelonious Monk (Minton's house pianist), saxophone player Charlie Parker, and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. The Minton's jams had competitive "cutting contests", in which soloists would try to keep up with the house band and outdo each other in improvisational skill.
Influenced by jazz, Cuban music saw the emergence of improvised jam sessions during the filin movement of the 1940s, where boleros, sones and other song types were performed in an extended form called descarga. During the 1950s these descargas became the basis of a new genre of improvised jams based on the son montuno with notable jazz influences pioneered by the likes of Julio Gutiérrez and Cachao. During the 1960s, descargas played an important role in the development of salsa, especially the salsa dura style.
As the instrumental proficiency of pop and rock musicians improved in the 1960s and early 1970s, onstage jamming—free improvisation—also became a regular feature of rock music; bands such as Pink Floyd, Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Deep Purple, The Who, the Grateful Dead, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Santana, King Crimson, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band would feature live improvised performances that could last anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes. However, they can be shorter on the recorded version.
Though the Grateful Dead are often credited as being the first jam band, Cream incorporated long improvisations into their songs as early as 1967. However, the Grateful Dead allowed the "jam band" to become a genre unto itself; more recent bands following in their steps include Phish, moe., Umphreys Mcgee, and Widespread Panic, all of which feature extended improvisational sessions. Other bands, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers also regularly perform live jam sessions. Progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria often end shows with a jam session to their song "The Final Cut" with different instruments.
Bluegrass music also features a tradition of jamming. Bluegrass jams happen in the parking lots and campgrounds of bluegrass festivals, in music stores, bars and restaurants and on stages. Bluegrass jams tend to be segregated by the skill level of the players. Slow jams for beginners provide an entry point. Open bluegrass jams are open to all comers, but the players in an open jam will expect a certain level of proficiency from participants. The abilities to hear chord progressions and keep time are essential, and the ability to play improvised leads that contain at least a suggestion of the melody is desirable. Jams that require advanced musical proficiency are generally private events, by invitation only.

My year started out with a nightmare this year. I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to the voice of God telling me to check my husbands phone. Upon doing so I found out that he had been living two lives for TWO years. We have been married almost 8 years and have 2 young children 4 and under. We dated 8 years before getting married (I saved myself for marriage, he did not).
Well, this morning brought destruction as it was revealed to me that not only did my “Christian husband” have an affair (and was currently in one) for TWO years both emotionally and sexually, but that they had conceived a child just a month after our second child was born over a year ago and they had aborted it. I looked through the call log on the phone and he was talking to her at least 20x per day. Here I am, a mother who sacrificed her career almost 4 years ago to stay home and raise our children and here he is off having a second life? My world tore apart. We have since begun seeing a Christian counselor and have separated, but I see NO remorse, just a simple “sorry.”
He wants to get back together but although I know I am commanded by God to forgive him, how do I ever “accept” the leftovers? He gave this woman EVERYTHING of him. There is NOTHING to give me he hasn’t give her (emotionally, physically, conceiving a child). All the while lying to me. I had even asked him several times these past two years about an affair and he said, “On the lives of our children I am NOT having an affair.” Even the night before I found out he said, “I would NEVER do anything to mess up what we have.” Then as I went to bed that night he went to his mistress on the phone (according to his call log). I just woke up during these wee hours of the morning crying before God “WHY? WHY?” I KNOW I serve a living God. I know I serve a God of MIRACLES, but the pain is SO much to bear…how do I survive? If I knew I could have my kids 100% I would just leave and say good riddance to him, but I want SO badly for 1) God to be glorified in my life and 2) for my children to come to know God as their personal Lord and Savior.
I feel so trapped. How do I heal? I am heavily in God’s word and still feel so much pain. Oh God take this pain! Hear my prayer, my cry for help. Rescue me from this hell. And all the while may YOU be glorified!! | <urn:uuid:ab87cbb6-4883-4bb6-b744-cb7fcb46e9e0> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://testimonyshare.com/why-god/?replytocom=12541 | 2019-06-16T10:40:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998100.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616102719-20190616124719-00470.warc.gz | en | 0.989349 | 569 | [

In early summer 2010, around fifty people were seriously injured and ten Turkish nationals died on a vessel which was part of the ‘Freedom Flotilla’: the Mavi Marmara ship. The incident saw the establishment of a UN Human Rights Council fact-finding mission, a separate panel of inquiry appointed by the UN Secretary-General, a Turkish Commission and a Israeli Commission of Inquiry (aka “Turkel Commission”). The Israeli Defense Force (IDF)’s storming of the ‘Freedom Flotilla’, have subsequently been subject to judicial proceedings both domestically in Turkey, and internationally at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
In May 2014, four arrest warrants were released by Istanbul’s Seventh High Criminal Court against former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, former Navy Chief Eliezer Marom, former Military Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin and former Naval Intelligence chief Avishai Levy. A year earlier, on 14 May 2013, a referral was received by the ICC Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) from the authorities of the Comoros, a State Party to the Rome Statute of the ICC, in relation to the Humanitarian Aid Flotilla’s incident (registered vessels situation). Six months after Turkey issued its arrest warrants, the OTP announced in its report under Article 53 (1) Rome Statute that it had decided not to investigate the registered vessels situation.
OTP’s decision not to investigate was based on the ‘gravity’ criteria of the Rome Statute. According to the OTP, ‘the potential case(s) likely arising from an investigation into this incident would not be of “sufficient gravity” to justify further action by the ICC.’ In so doing, the OTP did not consider the other two criteria for declining to investigate, namely, complementarity and the interests of justice. As Kevin Jon Heller predicted, the Comoros ‘appealed’ the OTP’s decision and on 16 July 2015, the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber (PTC) requested the Prosecutor to reconsider its decision not to open an investigation. Acting under Article 53 (3) (a), the PTC took issue with several aspects of the OTP’s decision not to investigate (see comments here and here).
In this post, my aim is to analyze the OTP’s decision not to investigate on the basis of gravity and the PTC’s request to the OTP to reconsider its decision. I argue that OTP’s gravity assessment was hasty and came at the expense of assessing the potential complementarity of the Turkish proceedings. I will demonstrate that in its decision, the OTP should have addressed complementarity first, noting the existence of the Turkish domestic proceedings and gravity thereafter; not the other way round. Acting this way would have entitled the OTP to let some time pass, gather evidence, and if the Turkish proceedings provided compelling material on its theory of the case, monitor whether the Turkish authorities are willing and able.
The gravity requirement and the ‘most responsible persons’ criteria
According to the ICC jurisprudence, the first part of the gravity requirement involves a generic assessment of whether the persons that are likely to be the object of an investigation include those who may bear the greatest responsibility for the alleged crimes committed. The second part assesses gravity both quantitatively and qualitatively, considering the nature, scale, and manner of commission of the alleged crimes, as well as their impact (Kenya Article 15 Decision, par. 60-62). My analysis will focus on the first part of the gravity test.
In its Article 53 (1) report concerning the registered vessels situation, the OTP found that there was reasonable basis to believe that several war crimes were committed on the Mavi Marmara. However, according to the OTP, the potential perpetrators of the alleged war crimes “were among those who carried out the boarding of the Mavi Marmara, and subsequent operations aboard, but not necessarily other persons further up the chain of command.” (OTP Response to the Application for Review, par. 60) This seems at odds with the Istanbul’s Seventh High Criminal Court, who issued arrest warrants against no others than senior Israeli officers. The OTP, for its part, had concluded that the available information did not suggest that the identified war crimes resulted from a deliberate plan or policy; hence, the perpetrators could only be the low-level officers who carried out the boarding of the Mavi Marmara. The PTC, on the other hand, affirmed that without an investigation it was impossible for the OTP to know whether the crimes resulted from a deliberate plan or policy (par. 43).
In any case, the PTC also disagreed with the OTP’s contention that since the crimes were not committed by big fish, it limited the gravity of the crimes. The PTC held as follows:
‘the conclusion in the Decision Not to Investigate [i.e. Art. 53 (1) Report] that there was not a reasonable basis to believe that “senior IDF commanders and Israeli leaders” were responsible as perpetrators or planners of the identified crimes does not answer the question at issue’ (par. 23).
That being said, the PTC agreed with the OTP that an evaluation of gravity comprises consideration of whether the individuals or groups of persons that are likely to be the object of an investigation, include those ‘who may bear the greatest responsibility’ for the alleged crimes committed. However, according to the PTC, this criteria:
‘relates to the Prosecutor’s ability to investigate and prosecute those being the most responsible for the crimes under consideration and not as such to the seniority or hierarchical position of those who may be responsible for such crimes’ (par. 23).
Thus, the alleged perpetrator’s low-ranking status does not dissatisfy per se this constitutive element of the requirement of gravity. According to the PTC, the focus would be, as Dov Jacob suggests, on the ‘ability’ to investigate and prosecute ‘those who may bear the greatest responsibility’ rather than on their seniority. How are we to make sense of this?
A plausible scenario of the ICC’s ‘inability’ to investigate and prosecute ‘those who may bear the greatest responsibility’, which would bear some cost on the gravity requirement, are crimes committed by child soldiers. If those who bear the greatest responsibility were under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged commission of the crimes, they are pursuant to Article 26 Rome Statute, out of the ICC’s jurisdiction. An even clearer situation of ICC ‘inability’ would be if those who may bear the greatest responsibility were found to be dead. In such cases, the Court could definitely not investigate and prosecute those being the most responsible for the crimes under consideration.
These factors may seem to relate more accurately to the jurisdiction of the Court than to the gravity of the situation. However, if those who bear the greatest responsibility are out of the ICC’s jurisdiction for the factors mentioned above, and the remaining perpetrators appear to have acted under superior orders, or were accessory to the crimes, the situation might indeed not be of sufficient gravity to justify further action by the Court. Moreover, and this is precisely why complementarity should be addressed before gravity, if the most responsible persons are investigated and prosecuted in a genuine and able domestic setting and the only potential remaining perpetrators appear to be less culpable, the OTP may justly conclude that these cases may not be grave enough.
Complementarity: Do judicial proceedings in the court of a non-party State count?
The OTP concluded in its report that “[i]n light of the conclusion reached on gravity, it is unnecessary to reach a conclusion on complementarity.” It is not clear why the OTP decided to analyze gravity before complementarity. As the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber indicated in Kenya Article 15 Decision, the admissibility test, as set out in article 17(1) of the Statute, has two main limbs: (i) complementarity (article 17(l)(a)-(c) of the Statute); and (ii) gravity (article 17(l)(d) of the Statute). Thus, logically, the OTP should have first addressed the absence or existence of national proceedings, and whether the State is unwilling or unable genuinely to carry out the investigation or prosecution. Then, if there are no national proceedings or there are national proceedings but the State is deemed unable or unwilling, we may finally assess the second limb, which is the gravity test. The OTP in the registered vessels situation reversed the admissibility test, and proceeded first to assess gravity.
If the OTP would have considered complementarity first, it could have omitted to issue a report and instead assessed the Turkish national proceedings in order to establish a sufficient factual and legal basis to render a determination. There are no timelines provided in the Statute for a decision on a preliminary examination. While the gravity of a situation may evolve when there are new or ongoing crimes, the gravity of the crimes committed in the registered vessels situation can hardly change – it ended when the passengers of the vessels arrived in the Israeli Port of Ashdod. For this reason, the OTP completed its preliminary examination hastily as the situation was deemed not ‘sufficiently grave’; no further examination was needed. On the other hand, the progress (or regress) with respect to the Turkish investigation could take some time to assess as long as these proceedings are conducted with the intent to bring to justice the alleged perpetrators within a reasonable timeframe.
One element that needs to be clarified is whether proceedings in Turkey, a State not party to the Rome Statute, are relevant to a complementarity assessment. Article 17 Rome Statute, which governs inadmissibility, refers to proceedings “by a State which has jurisdiction over” the case. Thus, the provision does not differentiate between non-party and party States; as long as the State has jurisdiction over the case – and Turkey has jurisdiction under the passive nationality principle – the proceedings are relevant. After all, the Rome Statute preamble recognizes “that it is the duty of every State to exercise its criminal jurisdiction over those responsible for international crimes” (emphasis added).
A second element is whether the proceedings in Turkey are relevant for the OTP potential cases. The OTP is still at the level of preliminary examination, at which stage the aim is to gather evidence in order to establish the type of groups of persons likely to shape its future cases. Should it consider what courts more proximate to the evidence have said in this respect? Could the proceedings conducted in the State most directly affected bring relevant evidence to shape its future case? Clearly, if after all consideration, the OTP still believes that the group of potential perpetrators are not the ones prosecuted in Turkey, there is no complementarity issue for the OTP. That does not mean that the existence of the Turkish proceedings should be passed into silence. The OTP could simply have said that they are not dealing with the same case.
If, on the contrary, the OTP defers to the Turkish judicial proceedings against the Israeli senior officials, its next report on preliminary analysis could read as follows: ‘after reconsideration we have found that there is a reasonable basis to believe that “senior IDF commanders and Israeli leaders” were responsible as perpetrators or planners of the identified crimes, but since these potential cases are being investigated and prosecuted in Turkey the situation is or would be inadmissible before the Court.’ However, this argument would stop short on the second string of the complementarity test: whether the State is unwilling or unable genuinely to carry out such investigation or prosecution. The Turkish proceedings are held in absentia; Israel has not surrendered the indicted individuals to Turkey. Under Article 17(3) Rome Statute, a state is considered “unable” if it does not have the defendant in custody. Thus, the OTP could not decline to initiate the investigation on the basis of complementarity with respect to the Turkish national proceedings, as the latter is unable to secure the arrest of the ‘potential case(s)’ – albeit it is allegedly willing. Simply, the preliminary examination of the registered vessel situation could remain ‘under examination’.
Most of the situations that are under preliminary examination have indeed been in the OTP’s dossier for much more time than the Comoros referral (since 2013). Just consider the situation in Colombia which has been under preliminary examination since June 2004, Afghanistan since 2007, Guinea since 2009, and Nigeria since 2010. The recent decision concerning the opening of an investigation into the situation in Georgia is the follow up of a preliminary examination dating from 2008. Since 2011, the main focus of the OTP’s preliminary examination of Georgia has been on the existence and genuineness of relevant national proceedings. And, finally when in 2015 the Georgians informed the OTP that national proceedings were indefinitely suspended, the OTP submitted a request for authorization of an investigation, which was granted on 27 January 2016.
What next? The role of the ‘interests of justice’ argument
The Turkish proceedings are in their initial phase (i.e. May 2014) and as of now, are likely to continue. The OTP could thus consider the registered vessel situation as a ‘phase 3’ preliminary examination where it monitors the Turkish proceedings. This may force Israel to cooperate with Turkey as they have no interest in being at the centre of an ICC prosecution. However, if the recent news concerning the Turkish and Israeli project to sign an agreement providing for a $20 million compensation scheme for the Mavi Marmara victims in exchange for the dropping of the case by Turkey does go forward, the Prosecutor could pass to ‘phase 4’ – as gravity has already been ruled out by the PTC decision. Phase 4 means assessing whether, taking into account the gravity of the crime and the interests of victims, there are nonetheless substantial reasons to believe that an investigation would not serve the interests of justice. One may argue that the Turkish–Israeli agreement could give an additional ground to the Prosecutor to decline jurisdiction on the basis that there are substantial reasons to believe that its investigation would not be in the interests of justice. But this ‘course of last resort’ would not be an easy way out for the OTP either; the OTP has itself qualified the interests of justice as ‘one of the most complex aspects of the Treaty’. | <urn:uuid:b5165e36-24f4-4f60-afed-e1e507b547ef> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.ejiltalk.org/the-situation-concerning-the-mavi-marmara-at-the-icc-what-might-be-the-next-move-of-the-prosecutor/ | 2019-06-17T17:58:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00070.warc.gz | en | 0.962086 | 3,025 | [

No easy feat when you are a 12.58 metre long x 6.9 metre wide boat that has to cross the village to the water. The Dutch truck that did the move was nothing short of amazing.
Below are a small selection of photos showing how it was done.
Thanks to Mike and Laure for taking the day off to travel with our girl and sending us the photos. Also thanks to the Catana Yard and delivery team – top effort! | <urn:uuid:7ce1cd02-0258-4363-bbc1-cd9674a0f94c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://misscatana.com/moving-water-catana-42/ | 2019-06-20T01:11:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999130.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620004625-20190620030625-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.976446 | 119 | [

I love making homemade relish. Sometimes I use summer squash, tomatoes, big cucumbers, or green tomatoes. This is the first time I’ve ever made Peach Green Tomato Chow Chow.
It won’t be the last time.
I also get a kick out of the kids walking in the kitchen and saying “What in the world is that smell?!” Their noses wrinkle, and then they run back into the other room. Vinegar in the kitchen = peace and quiet for mom. (A little secret from me to you.)
Peach Green Tomato Chow Chow, ya’ll.
Chow Chow is a sweet and tangy pickled “kitchen sink” type of relish.
What do I mean by kitchen sink? You can pretty much use any garden vegetable to make it. Most Southern versions of green chow chow use cabbage, peppers, green tomatoes and cucumbers. You really can’t go wrong, and it is a great recipe to experiment with.
My goal with this was to make a hearty, tangy green tomato chow chow to serve with biscuits and beans. You can totally chop your vegetables in smaller pieces if you prefer, but I wanted to keep the shape and texture of the vegetables.
Especially the fresh summer peaches!
What possessed me to put peaches in this green tomato chow chow recipe? A whim. My first thought was to make some peach salsa, but I’m like…why not use peaches to make relish?
Definitely use firm peaches, even if they are slightly under-ripe. I was able to get these at just the right moment of peachy perfection.
For the rest of your green tomato chow chow vegetables, you can mix and match as you would like. I stuck with some of my go-to relish making faves: green tomatoes, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, green cabbage, white onions, and just a little cucumber.
A little sugar, water, vinegar and spices later…my mouth is already watering. Can’t wait to get this Peach Green Tomato Chow Chow on my plate!!
More recipes you might like:
After simmering for a while, carefully ladle the green tomato chow chow into clean hot jars. You can wash them by hand in super hot water and a mild detergent. Or if your dishwasher has a sanitize cycle…use it.
After you fill the jars with your Peach Green Tomato Chow Chow (leaving a little space between the top of the relish and the rim of the jar), carefully wipe the rim. Add your lids and hand tighten the rings.
Carefully place the kiddies in the pool, and let them boil in a hot water bath for about 15 minutes.
Love Southern cooking? Try some of our favorites:
Carefully remove the hot jars from the water bath, and let cool on a countertop lined with layers of towels.
If you want to skip the water bath step, you can refrigerate the Peach Green Tomato Chow Chow for several weeks. If processed it will keep for months.
Enjoy with your favorite country meal! Peach + Green Tomato Chow Chow is also great served with good crackers and cheese, or as a topping for hot dogs and hamburgers.

When you watch “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” season 2 again, (because those of us who watch this show know you must watch it several times to fully take in the quick comedy) – do yourself a favor and pay close attention to Carol Kane’s performance as Lillian Kaushtupper. We think it’s worthy of attention and should be mentioned as a wonderful supporting role.
It’s hard to regulate the speed at which you can achieve something creative and emotional. -Carol Kane
In season 2 we see the mysterious and funny Lillian, struggle with her neighborhood changing and giving way to gentrification something New Yorkers know all to well. Carol Kane’s performance is amazing because she captures not only the pain of watching the neighborhood she loves change, but she is not being heard. Trying to recapture a time where protest garnered results, she is told by a young business owner “you are just the cutest” leaving Lillian feeling frustrated. “It doesn’t matter if you let it all out if nobody takes you seriously” she says to Kimmy, only to be offered a “crazy grandma” role in a movie being shot by a millennial in her neighborhood.
Not being heard is something that people of a certain age know to be a signature of ageism. It’s a painful experience that Carol Kane’s performance captures in a brilliant way. At 63 Carol’s career expands 40 years in television, movies and the theatre. She brings a lifetime of excellence to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt that should not be ignored. | <urn:uuid:0003c704-70e4-4dab-9287-8096e7d04032> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://thematriarch.me/2016/05/15/carol-kane-unbreakable-kimmy-schmidt/ | 2019-06-20T01:08:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999130.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620004625-20190620030625-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.9521 | 334 | [

Transgressive Sex and Provocative Comfort in the French Colonial Archives
Friday, January 2, 2015: 3:50 PM
Mercury Rotunda (New York Hilton)
When sex surfaces in the French colonial archives it is often as a provocative act. Violent, paid or interracial, women’s sex destabilized the hierarchies and order of the Empire. But was sex always about transgression? Inspired by the letters preserved in archives and exchanged between women in French West Africa and male colonial administrators, this intervention into the roundtable considers how the rigid condemnation of transgressive intimacies was reshaped by some women. It considers how close readings of these women’s letters, inspired by the tools and theories of gender studies, mobility studies and cultural analysis can help us to better understand when, why and how women turned sex into a prosaic act, not by obfuscating their own pleasures or sexualities but rather by rewriting them as just one component of their daily lives. In turn, this presentation wonders how reading such intimacies against the grain might provoke scholars to rethink the nature of the hierarchies and order of imperial spaces. | <urn:uuid:2c95469d-162b-40e2-89f3-44b714accd43> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://aha.confex.com/aha/2015/webprogram/Paper16293.html | 2019-06-24T13:54:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999539.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624130856-20190624152856-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.949599 | 228 | [

When the size of the crowd who witnessed Bristol City’s battling defeat to the galacticos of Manchester City was announced on Tuesday night, there were probably more people outside Ashton Gate interested in hearing the number than there were inside.
For when the news came through that 26,003, including me, had packed the Gate to support their team, it triggered what could be a very interesting debate in BS3.
Since the newly-upgraded, rebuilt and expanded Ashton Gate opened a couple of years ago, crowds attending Bristol City matches have gone up.
This season they’ve gone up a lot, as Bristol gets behind what is a young, exciting team built around local talent and pressing for an unlikely promotion to the Premiership.
How those 26,003 people travelled to Ashton Gate on Tuesday and how more than 20,000 make their way to see City take on QPR on Saturday is a subject that vexes a lot of people. It is constantly reviewed and considered by the club. The city council are keeping an eye on it. And it is an issue for some, many, maybe most of the people who live in the residential streets around Ashton Gate.
Matchday, particularly evening kick-offs in the middle of the week, brings lots more cars than usual to BS3, as fans drive and park – either in the various temporary car parks created for them on spaces a short walk away, or on the streets.
Walk down any street within a mile of Ashton Gate on that Tuesday night and there would have been cars parked everywhere – sticking out of corners, blocking entrances, on both sides of the road where you’d think it should just be one side. Often, the number 24 bus – taking people home from work in the city centre to Ashton Vale on the other side of the stadium can’t get through, and if there was a fire down one of the side roads, heaven knows what would happen.
Residents, generally, believe ‘Something Should Be Done’ and have, for a long while now, asked for something to be done by the council and the club.
The club has done a lot already. It has teamed up with – and one presumes that means subsidised – new park and ride buses to be laid on from three locations around the city. It has created and pushed a travel plan project, which more prominently advises people where it would be nice for them to park, or how they could take public transport instead.
One thing the residents would like to see happen is a Matchday Parking Scheme. For anyone who has been to any Premiership match, and a lot of Championship clubs, a scheme like this is a given. It’s actually fairly unusual for a stadium in a residential area that regularly gets 20,000-plus crowds not to have one.
It would mean residents are given permits to park their cars on the streets, but cars without permits – ie, fans trying to park close to the ground – are towed away.
That sounds a little harsh – especially because a lot of the streets around Ashton Gate are ones where the houses have their own drives and on an average Saturday afternoon in June, few people park on the street anyway.
This issue has unfortunately set fans against residents, club against council and everyone against everyone else wanting something to be done but it not to be them that has to do it.
It’s a real shame, because there is one very easy, two-stage solution, to this.
In the Post I’ve been beavering away about this issue for more than 18 months now. It matters to me. I live near Ashton Gate. I love living near Ashton Gate. One of the reasons I love living near Ashton Gate is that I can walk less than ten minutes to matches and see Bobby Reid and Joey Bryan play their hearts out. This is great.
It’s too easy to present this issue as a huge problem, with one side pitted against the other, as they do too often on social media and in the comments section of the Post's website.
The City fans are right when they point out that Ashton Gate has been there longer than anyone alive in Bristol. Anyone moving to BS3 should know what they are letting themselves in for when their removals van crosses the Cumberland Basin or Bedminster Bridge, and in any case, it’s only a few hours every fortnight or so.
They also rightly point out that parking is a nightmare in BS3 – especially in the old Victorian terraces a short Hordur Magnusson throw-in away off North Street. One side of South Bristol’s funkiest road has a Residents Parking Zone, the other doesn’t.
At least that’s something everyone agrees on.
One local resident sent me three pictures of shocking bits of parking in those streets just below North Street, to show that it’s a big problem generally, not just on Matchdays.
Those three pictures are here – try and guess which one of the three was taken in the hours either side of a Bristol City game.
Residents rightly point out that their buses should still be able to get through, their driveways shouldn’t be blocked and their medical or fire-related emergencies shouldn’t be compromised just because 20,000 people want to sing funny songs about cider while watching Aden Flint rise majestically like a tattooed salmon at the far post at the end of their street.
What I’ve tried to concentrate on are the solutions, rather than the ‘battle’. For a start, it’s not news anymore that matchday parking is a problem. What is news is the seemingly tortuous route to getting something sorted out.
The first football match I attended was a 1-1 draw against Liverpool back in the days, those four hazy seasons, when Bristol City were last in the top flight of English football. I can remember precious little about it, aside from the smell of horse manure and cigarette smoke outside Greville Smyth Park and how my dad struggled to find a parking space.
He can’t remember, and I wouldn’t have a clue, but it would be fittingly ironic if he parked outside the house where I now live, and annoyed the people who lived there at the time.
Were they annoyed then, though? Probably less so. Back in the 1970s, more people in those crowds that touched 30,000 would have walked, or got the bus.
Fans are right when they say crowds have been huge before, residents are right to say back then fewer of them had cars and fewer fans did too – or at least, would’ve driven to football.
The saddest thing about this issue is when it descends into vitriol.
One resident who set up a group to record instances of ‘it getting worse’ was monstered horribly on social media by a minority of fans.
At the same time, the contribution by local councillor Stephen Clarke, who called ‘shame on them’ to the club, wasn’t exactly conducive to harmonious partnership working between club and council, fans and residents, either.
Mr Clarke questioned the motives of the club when they pointed out that, while they may have published attendances that triggered the necessity of a Matchday Parking Scheme, the reality was subtly but crucially different.
Bristol City would have to pay for a Matchday Parking Scheme – seen as the answer by local residents – if three out of five consecutive games had crowds of more than 25,000.
While the cup games against Man United and Man City were well over, the game against Wolves was announced at just over 25,000. The reality was that hundreds of season ticket holders didn’t turn up – the game was on telly, for a start – but they were still counted.
Perhaps Mr Clarke is not aware this is a universal practice in English football. It dates from the days when the announcement of the attendance was done for transparency of gate receipts.
So to this day, and presumably to prevent the taxman asking questions, the ‘gate’ is the number of people who paid money for a ticket to the match, whether they turned up or not.
This would explain why I, from my lofty vantage point in the expensive seats of the new Lansdown Stand at that game, looked frustratingly at the empty seats in the area of the South Stand, where I would normally be. The South Stand was ‘sold out’ on the ticket website for that match before Christmas, but the club weren’t to know season ticket holders wouldn’t turn up.
Bristol City aren’t making this up. It really is a coincidence, albeit a crazy one at that. City’s incredible cup run, the fixture schedule putting three and not four home games between both Manchester games, the Wolves game being a 1st v 2nd clash, that game being on Sky and between Christmas and New Year so people didn’t go, the official attendance being above 25,000 but the actual attendance below – it all conspired to create a bizarre set of circumstances.
Does it matter? Clearly Bristol City Council thinks it doesn’t, and neither does councillor Clarke. Bristol City do because, let’s be frank, this is something that needs to happen; the only question is, who pays for it?
But while a Matchday Parking Scheme would solve the immediate problem for those fed-up residents of BS3, it is only one part of the solution.
It is a stick in this carrot and stick situation.
The carrot is not particularly orange, very flat and wide and located about a mile to the south of Ashton Gate.
The Long Ashton park and ride car park has 1,500 spaces. That’s huge. That’s only a few less than Cabot Circus, and Long Ashton doesn’t have multiple storeys or those funky illuminated spiral roads that made the 8,000 City fans who travelled to the Etihad stadium feel at home last month.
The only time it is open for a Bristol City home game is when that game is on a Saturday afternoon. And even then, people aren’t really supposed to park there.
I’m not sure anyone has ever counted how many fans’ cars clog up the streets of BS3 on match days – it would be difficult to tell - but so crazy are the coincidences in this saga, that it would not surprise me in the slightest if it was around 1,499.
Having the park and ride car park open for 1,500 drivers and having the streets around the ground made unavailable is such a no-brainer.
The stick of Matchday Parking will only work if there’s a viable alternative for those who drive to games. The carrot of the park and ride would only work if there’s a stick to ‘encourage’ 1,500 car drivers to park there for football.
Why isn’t it open? Bristol City Council’s actions aren’t often compared to those of the Soviet Union in 1939, but when Winston Churchill tried to explain to the nation what Stalin was up to a couple of months into the war, he said: “It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”.
For years, the council forgot about Long Ashton Park and Ride. They forgot about it so much that they forgot they were still paying hundreds of thousands of pounds every year to a company to run buses there, when they didn’t run the buses there, merely opened the gate and took everyone’s money.
For years. It ran to millions.
They forgot about it so much that they didn’t sort out the complex ownership of the park and ride site until Marvin Rees and his team came in and asked what the blazes was going on. It’s taken more than a year for the council to actually own the park and ride, and it’s still not 100 per cent sorted.
They forgot about it so much that they didn’t sort out the ridiculous planning conditions put on the park and ride back in the 1990s by whichever iteration of local government eventually mutated into North Somerset Council.
Those planning conditions stipulate, really weirdly, that the park and ride is only for people who use the park and ride bus service, and that bus service is only for people commuting into the city centre to work or to go shopping.
This appears to restrict the destinations of services that can run from the park and ride, and the times they do. There’s also the thorny issue that when people do get on to the park and ride car park for a match, and instead of catching a bus, start to walk down the A370 Long Ashton bypass towards the ground, the police don’t like it, because it’s dangerous.
Whatever the labyrinthine planning conditions that mean the park and ride isn’t open, or can’t open or could open but can’t take anyone anywhere, one thing Churchill and I are sure of is that Bristol City Council haven’t done anything about it.
Mr Clarke has, though, which is something those City fans attacking him for his letter to the Post this week on the subject need to remember. He was the first to raise a petition demanding that the council he’s not in charge of opens up the Long Ashton Park and Ride.
There has not been, as far as I’m aware, any request to North Somerset Council to vary any planning conditions. There has not been any policy decision to open it and put on buses to the ground and see what happens.
It is bitterly ironic that the initiatives by Bristol City and First Bus to run park and ride buses from Brislington and Portway have been so successful, more buses are being laid on. There is appetite for this anyway.
Fans and residents all want the same thing: Safe streets around the ground; To be able to get to a game with as little hassle as possible; An end to the bickering, and solutions to the issue of how you get 25,000 people into Ashton Gate at 3pm on a Saturday, 7.45pm on a Tuesday or whatever other time the Money God of Sky dictates.
They should set aside their differences, stop calling each other Nimbys or embarrassing, and join forces to get Something Done About This. The solutions are right there – both a Matchday Parking Scheme AND the Long Ashton Park and Ride will go a very long way to creating a harmonious matchday environment in BS3.

Commentary on Earth Changes
August 20, 2018
Gibsons, BC, Canada
Received by Al Fike
I am Augustine, your teacher. Indeed, you see the outward manifestations of man’s condition, a result of humanity’s lack of love for their planet, for themselves, for one another. For when love is present, there is harmony and when the human condition intensifies as it has, and the viewpoint, perspective, of most in your world is that of the material, and a great desire for the accumulation of wealth with no concern for the effects upon your earth and upon your brothers and sisters, there comes outward manifestations of the disharmony that exists in your world.
I am sorry to say that it will intensify, that humanity has not yet come to a place of recognition, of love, of that which should be held sacred, your mother earth, each and every soul upon this planet and understand that the laws of creation that govern the workings of your planet, of your souls, your spirits bodies, your physical bodies, all function within the workings of the laws of creation. Yet, the power that mankind wields in the world, because each of you has the gift of free will, is great enough to upset the balance in your world. The momentum of this imbalance builds and carries with it a great destructive force. As you see, the fires burn, the earth rumbles, the waters rise, all manner of havoc upon the world continues to take place. Yet, humanity buries its head in the sand, too fearful to look, too apathetic to act.
The lack of love in your world, beloveds, continues to fuel the unfortunate circumstances that you see yourselves in. In the minds of so many they wish to point fingers and blame others. Yet, you are all complicit in these conditions to some degree. This is because the momentum and power of the condition of humanity is so great that it is indeed very difficult to stop and correct this terrible imbalance in the world.
We, from the Celestial Heavens, have a great compassion for you, seeing as we do the many layers of darkness and inhumanity, of lack of love. It is truly dark and discouraging for us and for you, my beloveds. Yet we soldier on, do we not? We continue to pray for this world and to act where we may to bring light and healing and comfort in the world, as do you in your efforts to help nullify these conditions and bring light.
I do not wish to discourage you in this regard, I wish to encourage you. For God has a plan, beloveds, for the salvation of mankind. It is a vast plan and it is in motion. I wish to give you hope, but I cannot tell you that the changes that are coming and the reactions that will be felt in your world will not make the transition from the disharmony to harmony easy for anyone in your world. But those who have nourished their souls, who have gathered wisdom, who are strong and of good faith will be able to weather these storms more readily and, in their way, with their gifts and blessings, will be a great channel for change, for light, for healing and comfort.
You must pray fervently my beloved, beautiful students, for the inflow of the great Divine Love of God. For without this gift, you are weak and incapable of being used as a channel, an instrument for change and love in the world. It is your prayers beloveds, most of all your prayers, that will help and assist God in making these changes and bringing the balance and harmony back to your world.
Do not pray out of fear. Do not pray out of guilt. Pray with faith and joy. For it is in this opening and joyful acknowledgment of God, receiving His Essence within, that the power required to heal your world will come to each soul who sets himself a task of prayer, who puts above all else the necessity to be in alignment with God and to receive the great blessings of His soul.
When all these changes and adjustments come to pass, peace again will come to this world. Who will be a part of those who are wise enough, attuned enough, strong enough to lead their brothers and sisters to the wisdom that is required, to the knowledge that exists but is unknown, to the strength and tenacity to rebuild in light and harmony? Who is willing? It will not be those who are in power at this time. For this illusion will be swept away. Those who have lived a life that is filled with God and truth and love, will be protected by God’s Hand, shown the way forward, given what is required to survive and to flourish in the dawning awakening and healing of this world. Yes, what you see before you in these earthly changes, merely foreshadows what is to come.
We, in spirit, have worked diligently to try to assist mankind in avoiding these unfortunate circumstances and yet, a deaf ear is given to the greater wisdom of the angels and the higher spirits. As has been the case from the beginning, humanity has felt that it has all the answers, all the power it needs, all the latitude and the resources to go alone into this world and make it in their own image. This is a grave mistake, one that carries deeply unfortunate consequences. For mankind is not complete without God.
Within humanity are a great many potentials and gifts, a soul that is capable of communing and communicating with God. Yet these virtuous resources, these wondrous abilities, these gifts that God has given humanity, are very much ignored and misunderstood. For those who take on a religious life, it also carries with it much error and misunderstanding of the laws of God’s creation. This too has set humanity on a dark road. A road that on one hand encourages prayer and connection with God, but on the other hand, seeks control and uses energies that are unloving, concepts that in many cases are evil, to guide humanity.
You, beloved souls, are very blessed to be free of these conditions, to seek a higher road, to know the avenue which you must walk to at-onement with God. In this way, you have brought into yourself deep wisdom, an understanding of the soul, a relationship with your Heavenly Father that is an important asset in your life and has the potential to help many in their struggles towards truth, healing, and light. You must share these truths with others. You must encourage your brothers and sisters to open their hearts to God, to seek His blessings in all their abundance, to come to know God and His Love intimately, to be in the light. In this way, all that is coming will not blow you to the ground and sweep you away. No, my beloveds, you will stand steadfast and you will show the way to many others how to avoid the worst of these conditions, how to change your life to a life more in harmony with God’s creation and His Love.
We have prepared many of you for many years for this task. The work begins in earnest, beloved souls. Although you do not see much change, as of yet; God does not bring such destructive forces all at once, it comes gradually, allowing adjustment but it will come inevitably. For mankind has made his choice, and has chosen to stand alone, in many ways. So, the assistance that is offered by God and His angels is ignored, unseen, unacknowledged, not because mankind has been given the choice, but because the choice is not known, nor acknowledged and this is in itself a great tragedy.
This is why we ask you my beloved, beautiful souls to speak of this choice in the world, to awaken those you can from their slumbers so that they may see that the time for action, for prayer, for efforts to bring wisdom into your souls, is now. There is no other way beloveds. There is no other way. For the forces that are coming, bringing the changes that are inevitable, are too great for humanity to acquiesce. It is for God to quell these fires, floods, earthquakes, and all forms of catastrophes. Humanity is without the power, the knowledge, the wisdom and the strength to change this dreadful onslaught.
These conditions have been created for many, many years, millennia upon millennia and you live in a time where you will see that the flood of God’s Living Waters will push back the darkness and bring peace again to your world. You will witness this in your lifetime, beloved souls and you will weep with joy after all has been rectified and come to harmony. This is not a sad time, beloveds, but a time to rejoice for the healing of your world. It is coming.
Pray beloveds. Pray for yourselves, pray for your children, pray for your loved ones, pray for this world. For God wants many of His children to continue, to flourish within this beautiful creation of a world. And they shall do so, provided they come to God in a deep desire to know Him and to be in harmony with Him.
Those who will not survive these conditions will continue to grow and have their life in the world of spirit. In God’s Love and mercy for mankind there is always a way towards light. None are condemned to darkness but given ample opportunity to be in light, to flourish in love. So, it is in this world many opportunities are given but few respond in ways that bring change and healing, growth of the soul, awakening and wisdom. Yet, this must come and will come in these coming times.
I am sorry to be so serious tonight. Indeed, our desire is to encourage you, to show you the way to greater light but I see you recognize the seriousness of your earth condition and I wish to acknowledge that your awareness, your budding awareness, can be your strength and will bring greater wisdom. You cannot hide, beloveds, and you cannot ignore. Instead, you must pray and seek guidance and seek God’s Love and comfort. His Light shall guide you and protect you. His Hand upon you is firm. His desire for you is for the utmost and greatest blessing in your life. As long as you carry the faith and trust that this will be so, then, it shall be so.
May the power of God’s Love bring deep peace to you, beloved souls, and a firm understanding and awareness that all moves towards harmony and light and in time, all will be saved, their salvation assured, either in the light of the natural love or the glory of the Divine Love. Their souls shall find light and shall awaken to Truth.
God bless you my beloveds. I am your teacher Augustine. I love you and stand by your side always and will help you to navigate the changes in the world, the challenges that you have in your lives, the struggles towards light. I, and many other angels, vow to walk with you and to keep you safe and to help you to grow within your souls. This is our promise provided you desire this and make the utmost effort to be close to God. God bless you. God bless you, beloved souls. I love you. | <urn:uuid:98a1b4d5-ac1a-41f2-9a0d-98f812de5a62> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://new-birth.net/contemporary-messages/messages-sorted-year/messages-2017-and-2018/commentary-on-earth-changes-af-20-aug-2018/ | 2019-06-27T01:09:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000609.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626234958-20190627020958-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.961177 | 2,305 | [

You start by planting seeds and hope to have a small crop but they don’t even sprout. Or you buy healthy seedlings and they just come to your home to die.
Your container gardening is just not working…
Just like with flat gardening, you’ll come across some problems when you’re practicing container gardening, too.
Are you going to give up before reading how these 8 problems can be solved?
Plants grow but don’t produce fruit
There’s nothing more frustrating than watching your plant grow from a seedling into a lush, beautiful plant, then waiting for fruit that never comes.
There are a couple of different reasons that this may happen.
Plant isn’t pollinated
If you’re growing plants that require cross-pollination, they won’t bear fruit if they aren’t pollinated. Usually, bees take care of this, but not always, especially if your containers are in a protected area or you live somewhere with a small bee population. These plants include squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, and some cucumbers to name a few.
To pollinate them so that they bear fruit, simply take a small, soft paintbrush and gently run it around the inside of each flower. Don’t forget to do the first one twice!
If you still have a problem, you may not have both male and female plants. Female plants may not develop if the weather is cold or too wet. You can determine which flowers are male and which are female, by their appearances. If you do this, then you can just pick the male flowers (only females bear fruit) and pollinate the females with those.
The easiest way to tell if many plants are female or male is to look at the base of the flower. For instance, with squash, the female flower will have a little squash underneath it at the base of the stem and a raised orange structure inside. The male will just have a stem on the bottom, but there will be an anther with pollen on it inside of it.
This will vary from plant to plant, so know how to tell the difference on your individual plants. Usually, though, the presence of the pollen-covered anther will be a dead giveaway.
Video first seen on Tower Garden.
High temperatures or humid/arid conditions
Another reason that your plant may get bushy but not produce fruit is because they won’t produce if the temperature is too high or if the pollen can’t spread. This is particularly applicable to tomatoes and peppers.
If the temperatures regularly reach 85-90 degrees during the day and 75 degrees at night, the plant may not set fruit. If it’s too humid, the pollen may be too sticky inside the flowers to spread from flower to flower. If it’s too arid, the pollen may be too dry.
The best solution here is to protect your plants from the heat as much as possible, and make sure that they’re fed and watered correctly. Even though most people will tell you that tomatoes and peppers prefer full sun, if you live in places such as the southern US where temperatures can be brutal, “full sun” means “full sun in the morning.”
Plant your seedlings where they’ll get full sun in the morning but shade in the afternoon.
Seeds Don’t Sprout
This is incredibly frustrating. You’ve taken the time to choose your seeds and plant them, then you wait … and wait … and wait. And nothing happens. No seedling pokes through. What went wrong? Well, again, it can be a couple of things.
Seeds were too old
Seeds are only good for an average of a couple of years – some seeds may be good for up to five years – but don’t count on them for more than two years. To make sure that your seeds are good, germinate a few of them before you plant the rest.
Do this by placing ten seeds, evenly spaced, in a wet paper towel. Roll it up and put it in a baggie, then put the baggie in a warm spot in the kitchen for two to seven days. Check the seeds after then and see how many of them germinated.
The number of seeds that germinated will give you a good idea of the percentage of the other seeds that will germinate, thus giving you an idea of how many to plant in order to get the yield you’re looking for.
Incorrect amount of water
This is possibly the most common reasons why seeds don’t germinate. Some seeds, such as tomato seeds, like plenty of water. Others, like peppers, germinate better when the soil is fairly dry. The only solution here is to know what conditions your particular plants require in order to germinate the best.
Planting too deeply
This is a common mistake made by new gardeners. Most seeds don’t need to be planted more than an inch or so beneath the soil. Planting them deeper will either delay the appearance of the sprout or cause the seed not to germinate at all.
Planting in cold soil
Most plants need the soil to be at least 50 degrees in order to germinate, and 65 is better. If you live in an area that gets extremely cold, start your plants inside in order to get your seeds to germinate. A combination of planting too deeply and planting in cold soil is the most common reason for seeds not to germinate.
Plants have mold
You may notice a white mold growing on the top of your soil. This in itself isn’t cause for concern, though you do need to change the environment around your seedlings. The soil is either too wet or it isn’t getting enough sun, or both.
The white mold actually helps organic matter decompose, but you don’t want it to grow in your plants. Don’t freak out, though. It doesn’t mean instant death. Scrape the mold off the surface of the soil, then don’t water your plant again until the soil dries out.
Setting up a fan to circulate air may help, too. Just put it on a setting that causes the leaves to flutter.
Your plants may also get what looks like a white film over the leaves. This is actually powdery mildew and is one of the most common and easily identifiable fungal disease in plants. Unlike mold, mildew favors dry foliage. Like mold, though, it also favors low light and high humidity.
You have a few effective natural treatments, but the best is vinegar. Combine 2-3 tablespoons of ACV with a gallon of water and spritz on the leaves a couple of times a week until the mildew disappears. Be careful though, because vinegar can burn the plant. A combination of 1 part milk and 2 parts water is strangely effective, too.
Nobody really knows why, but it works! Sulfur and lime/sulfur works, too, but can easily damage your plants, so try the vinegar or milk first.

Other common problems to container gardens
Plants wilt even with enough water
Cause: insufficient drainage.
Tip: increase drainage holes, use a lighter soil mix.
Plants are “leggy” (spindly and unproductive)
Cause: not enough light.
Tip: relocate the plants.
Leaf edges die
Cause: too much salt.
Tip: leach container regularly by watering until water drains from drainage holes.
Plant turns yellow at the bottom
Cause: too much water.
Tip: water less and ensure good drainage.
These are most of the problems that you’ll run into with container gardening, aside from insects and other diseases.
If your plants become covered with spots, develop dead, dried, powdery, or rusty areas, you may have a few different issues. Your plant may not be warm enough, the soil may have low phosphate levels, or you may have a variety of diseases.
Start by separating the plant from your others and setting in the sunlight. Pull off the dead or damaged leaves, if you think the plant is salvageable. Also, spray with neem oil and/or vinegar water to kill a variety of bugs and diseases.
Container gardening is typically easy and most problems are related to water, sunlight, and temperature. The best way to avoid most of these problems is to know the needs of your plants and meet them.

a critical history of the distinction between combatant and civilian
Author: Helen M. Kinsella
Publisher: Cornell University Press
Category: Political Science
Since at least the Middle Ages, the laws of war have distinguished between combatants and civilians under an injunction now formally known as the principle of distinction. The principle of distinction is invoked in contemporary conflicts as if there were an unmistakable and sure distinction to be made between combatant and civilian. As is so brutally evident in armed conflicts, it is precisely the distinction between civilian and combatant, upon which the protection of civilians is founded, cannot be taken as self-evident or stable. Helen M. Kinsella documents that the history of international humanitarian law itself admits the difficulty of such a distinction. In The Image Before the Weapon, Kinsella explores the evolution of the concept of the civilian and how it has been applied in warfare. A series of discourses-including gender, innocence, and civilization- have shaped the legal, military, and historical understandings of the civilian and she documents how these discourses converge at particular junctures to demarcate the difference between civilian and combatant. Engaging with works on the law of war from the earliest thinkers in the Western tradition, including St. Thomas Aquinas and Christine de Pisan, to contemporary figures such as James Turner Johnson and Michael Walzer, Kinsella identifies the foundational ambiguities and inconsistencies in the principle of distinction, as well as the significant role played by Christian concepts of mercy and charity. She then turns to the definition and treatment of civilians in specific armed conflicts: the American Civil War and the U.S.-Indian Wars of the nineteenth century, and the civil wars of Guatemala and El Salvador in the 1980s. Finally, she analyzes the two modern treaties most influential for the principle of distinction: the 1949 IV Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Times of War and the 1977 Protocols Additional to the 1949 Conventions, which for the first time formally defined the civilian within international law. She shows how the experiences of the two world wars, but particularly World War II, and the Algerian war of independence affected these subsequent codifications of the laws of war. As recognition grows that compliance with the principle of distinction to limit violence against civilians depends on a firmer grasp of its legal, political, and historical evolution, The Image before the Weapon is a timely intervention in debates about how best to protect civilian populations. | <urn:uuid:f31f456f-fef9-45b3-b2e9-dfa70a61e2a2> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://usakochan.net/download/barbarism-and-civilization/ | 2019-06-16T14:51:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998250.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616142725-20190616164725-00350.warc.gz | en | 0.930743 | 498 | [

The Getz Laboratory specializes in cancer genome analysis which includes two major steps: (i) Characterization – cataloging of all genomic events and the mechanisms that created them during the clonal evolution of the cancer, comparing events at the DNA, RNA and protein levels between tumor and normal samples from an individual patient; and (ii) Interpretation – analysis of the characterization data across a cohort of patients with the aim of identifying the alterations in genes and pathways that cause cancer or increase its risk as well as identifying molecular subtypes of the disease, their markers and relationship to clinical variables.

This page is designed for APS employees who are looking for information on moving to another job, generally within the APS.
More detailed information for managers and HR professionals on recruitment and mobility is at Recruitment and movement in the APS.
Finding a new job in the APS
Jobs can also be advertised on individual agency websites and jobseeker sites.
Recruitment and selection processes
Agencies use a variety of ways to assess candidates for a job. Each advertised vacancy will include details of the particular selection process that will apply.
An APS employee can be promoted to a higher classification on an ongoing basis following a competitive selection process based on merit, as described in the APS Employment Principles at section 10A of the Public Service Act 1999 (PS Act).
Essentially, a decision is based on merit if all eligible members of the community are given a reasonable opportunity to apply and candidates are assessed through a competitive selection process against the requirements of the job.
Where the promotion is not subject to review1
- The date of effect of the promotion is a date agreed by the relevant parties or otherwise four weeks after the decision is notified in the Public Service Gazette (the Gazette). This applies regardless of whether the promotion is within the same agency or to another agency.
- Where the move is to another agency, the losing agency cannot prevent the promotion from taking effect.
- A date of effect agreed by the employee and the relevant agencies must be after the date the decision is notified in the Gazette.
Where the promotion may be subject to review
- An application to have a promotion decision reviewed needs to be made within the application period. This is generally a period of two weeks following the notification of the promotion in the Gazette. However, the Merit Protection Commissioner can approve a longer application period.
- Where no application for review is lodged, the date of effect of the promotion is two weeks after the application period has ended or a date agreed by the employee and the relevant agencies that is not earlier than the end of the application period.
- Where an application for review is lodged, then a number of factors determine the date of effect. These are described in subsection 36(3)of the Australian Public Service Commissioner's Direction 2016 (the Directions). Most commonly, the promotion takes effect four weeks after the gaining agency head is notified of the decision or on a date agreed to by the employee and the relevant agencies.
- Different provisions apply where an employee who is promoted to another agency is subject to a Code of Conduct investigation. See section 38 of the Directions.
Changing duties within an agency
An employee can be re-assigned to a different set of duties at his or her existing classification within an agency. This may be the result of a voluntary transfer at level or may be a reassignment of duties by the agency head, taking account of operational requirements in the agency. There is no requirement to advertise a vacancy in these circumstances.
An employee can agree to be assigned duties at a lower classification for a temporary or ongoing period.
An employee cannot be assigned duties at a lower classification without their consent, other than in exceptional circumstances. These circumstances are described in subsection 23(4) of the PS Act.
Where the reduction in classification is for an ongoing period, any subsequent move by an employee to a higher classification is a promotion and must be the result of a process based on merit.
An employee can be assigned duties at a higher classification for a temporary period, subject to individual agency arrangements. This is not a promotion, as a promotion applies to an ongoing period.
An employee can be required by an agency head to perform their duties at another location, subject to individual agency arrangements.
Moves between agencies
Voluntary transfers between agencies at the same classification level
An APS employee can agree to move from one APS agency to another at his or her existing classification level.
Such a move can follow a competitive selection process. However, because a transfer at level is not an engagement or promotion, it may also take place without a full merit process subject to individual agency arrangements.
An agency head must still be satisfied that the decision to transfer the employee is based on an assessment of the employee's work related qualities and the qualities required for the job.
Date of effect of voluntary moves
A voluntary move between agencies takes effect as follows:
- the voluntary, permanent move of an ongoing employee takes effect four weeks from the date the employee informs the losing agency head in writing, or another date agreed between the employee and the two agencies
- the voluntary, temporary move of an ongoing employee requires the written agreement of the losing and gaining agencies.
- The period of the transfer can only be varied with the agreement of the employee and the two agencies.
- At the end of the temporary transfer, the employee will normally return to their original agency.
- If the losing agency does not agree to the transfer, then the gaining agency can take the employee on an ongoing basis. In this case, there would be no right of return to the losing agency.
Generally, a non-ongoing employee who moves to another agency is engaged by the second agency under a new employment arrangement.
Compulsory transfers between agencies
The Australian Public Service Commissioner can compulsorily move an APS employee from one agency to another:
- where an employee is excess to requirements–under section 27 of the PS Act
- following a change to administrative arrangements–under section 72 of the PS Act. More information is at Machinery of Government changes.
Moving in and out of the APS
Initiatives to encourage mobility
APS employees may be offered an opportunity to gain experience and build capability through a temporary move to another APS agency or to another organisation—including a non-APS agency; statutory authority; state, territory or local government; the not–for–profit sector or a private company.
Movements can also be from another organisation into the APS, and be unilateral or involve an employee exchange.
Typically, arrangements are put in place through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by all parties. The agreement sets out time frames and details responsibility for every day operational matters such as supervision, leave approvals, performance assessment and work health and safety.
The temporary movement of APS employees out of the APS and non-APS employees into the APS is sometimes characterised as a secondment. The home employer remains responsible for the payment of salaries and other terms and conditions of employment, with some exceptions—for example, equipment or travel costs.
The requirement for an APS employee to comply with the APS Values and Code of Conduct would continue.
Other arrangements include where an employee applies for leave without pay from an APS agency to take up temporary employment with another employer. In this case an employee will be subject to the home agency's relevant policies, including those on outside employment and conflicts of interest. The employee may also be subject to the policies of the outside employer—for example—do they require permission to remain an APS employee?
An APS employee on leave without pay remains covered by those aspects of the APS Code of Conduct that apply 'at all times'–for example the provisions relating to upholding the APS Values and APS Employment Principles, and the integrity and good reputation of the employee's agency and the APS.
