Partial dentures are commonly used for the replacement of missing teeth in the mouth. Partial dentures are useful when there are still some teeth remaining. These immediate dentures hoppers crossing can be manufactured of resins, metals or porcelain. Partial dentures are an effective way to restore your healthy smile. Compared to dental implants, partial dentures are also less expensive. There are three types of partial dentures: precision, semi-precision and conventional. The conventional partial dentures are considered to be the least expensive. Most expensive are precision partial dentures but they also provide the best fit.
The average price of immediate dentures hoppers crossing is somewhere in the $ 500 – $ 1000 range. The cost is based on many factors such as the type of partial denture you choose, the location of your dentist, your dental insurance, the types of materials your dentist decides to use etc. Additional work such as extractions or crowns will increase the partial dentures cost. Partial dentures may seem a bit expensive but they make everyday activities such as chewing food and speaking easy. Some partial dentures are Velplast partial dentures, Cusil partial dentures, Nesbit partial dentures, flipper partial dentures, and cast metal partial dentures. Make sure you ask your dentist about the price of follow-up procedures, repairs and adjustments before committing yourself to anything. | <urn:uuid:1c761540-431d-4355-9d38-5bf7007c093c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://cheapphentermine24x7.com/what-is-the-cost-of-partial-dentures/ | 2019-06-19T02:03:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998879.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619003600-20190619025600-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.939433 | 284 | [

How to Estimate Your Relative Penis Size Compared to Your Current Partner’s Past
So have you ever wondered how you might compare to other men… from the viewpoint of another women. Yes, we know how you might compare to the total population but that’s probably not as important as to how you compare to your partner. There’s a chance that you might be of average size and the girl you are with has only been with a smaller man, or many smaller men, and therefore views your penis as being large. That’s always a nice ego boost. Conversely you might have an above average penis size that pleases most women, but maybe the girl you are currently with had an ex boyfriend who could have thrived in the porn industry. That’s always bad for your ego. | <urn:uuid:3dde2807-b304-40a4-a60c-fae3a85b3f20> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://thepenissizeguide.com/category/stats/ | 2019-06-19T01:07:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998879.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619003600-20190619025600-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.973145 | 167 | [

Would-be novelists need to bring equal parts arrogance and ignorance to the task before them. The arrogance is almost self-explanatory. Walk into any bookstore or library, calculate how many lifetimes the average person would need to read all the fiction contained therein. To think that one has anything to contribute, to any genre or tradition, takes genuine hubris.
I am a trader of jacks and a jack of all trades!

Overdosing your dishwasher is much easier with more modern machines because of the little amount of water per fill. Makers boast of the complete cycle using a little as thirteen litres of water. Overdosing can even occur with a measured amount of detergent, like a tablet. Soft rainwater can cause frothing.
Detergent makers do address the water qualities the world over. Detergent isn’t made just for local water qualities. So be aware of overdosing, albeit innocently. The use of powder gives the user the opportunity to regulate the amount of detergent, and quality products are concentrated with little fillers to cause froth.
What does too much froth do you may ask?
Froth introduces air into the solution, which can cause pressure-operated switches, designed to protect the appliance from overheating for instance, from causing damage. Too much froth can prevent this type of protective device from allowing the heater to work at all, so producing an inferior output. Further, froth can cause this type of switch to flutter, that is turn on and off rapidly as the solution density changes. This fluttering can send electrical spikes to the electronic or computer controller and render it faulty.
It is in the interest of the user to monitor the amount of froth when using the favoured detergent with local water quality. Soft water less detergent, average mains water causes less sensitivity. | <urn:uuid:38b953f7-b092-4f17-8ef8-b213b43dc117> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://prestigerepairs.com.au/overdosing-dishwashers/ | 2019-06-27T04:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000613.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20190627035307-20190627061307-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.921439 | 290 | [

So yesterday, I came here and vented about how I was trying to prove a trivial mundane fact from Kobayashi and Nomizu and how – despite struggling for hours – I felt close but still rather hopeless.
My game plan originally had been to spend today doing some of the studies I’d been neglecting recently (namely, Clifford analysis and Differential Algebra) but I really didn’t want to leave that identity without a proof. Then, I hashed a new plan: One hour on that identity, then split the day between Clifford analysis and Differential Algebra. Pretty simple, right?
After spending some time running morning errands, I sat down with the identity and went to work with some new strategies. Instead of trying to argue a notation-heavy thing from an abstract existence point of view, I reached into my manifold , picked out a point with neighborhood and gave a local coordinate system . Then, I went to town, hitting shit with Vector Fields and composition and compositions of Vector Fields of compositions of vector-valued functions of….
…and now, here I am. It’s been two hours (and some change) since I started that identity and still, no proof whatsoever. So that got me to thinking: What if I really don’t understand properties of vector fields at all? What if I’m not a differential geometer or a differential topologist or a differential algebraist? What if I’m a differential nothing-er? What if my career is over before it starts?
So I decided to turn to Google.
I did some random search involving the terms “vector fields” and “composition” and – lo and behold – I found something that’s actually meaningful. And – and – I realized what my problem is…
I’m using a book published in 1963. It’s a classic. My book is a first edition of a text that’s so classic its reprints are selling on Amazon for almost $200. It’s a gem. But 1963 was 50 years ago.
Fifty. Years. Ago.
My book is archaic and reading it is getting me into trouble.
I know this because my Googling turned up this wonderful resource, and upon reading lecture seven, my answer was immediately clear.
Basically, I was attempting to prove the Pullback-Pushforward identity (given here in K&N notation): Given a manifold , a diffeomorphism , and a vector field , along with points for which , the induced homeomorphisms for which and for which interact in the following way:
for all and all .
Simple, right? Apparently the relationship I was missing is given in equations and in the seventh lecture linked above.
So now I have a dilemma.
I need to study Differential Geometry this summer. I’ve already invested almost a week – maybe a little more – in going through 10 pages of this book and trying to hash out the details. Now, I realize that with the archaic notation, 50 pages by summer’s end would be a good pace for someone as average as myself and how that’s just not good enough.
Clearly, newer documents are easier to read: The notation is cleaner and more intuitive and the exposition is aimed more at educating readers than simply expounding upon one’s own knowledge of the subject. Clearly I would have better luck progressing through documents like that.
Clearly, those are better for me.
But then it feels like a loss somehow, ya know? Like I started at the bottom of a mountain, scratched and clawed my way up through arduous paths and unfriendly conditions, and have come to a point where someone’s waiting in a helicopter to take me back up the hill to safety…
…and okay, then: My metaphor just answered my own question!
I guess tomorrow – or Saturday – or whenever – I’ll start studying Differential Geometry using some other textbook not written in the 60s (which means I’ll also probably skip out on Auslander’s book, too).
Until next time…. | <urn:uuid:74a168b6-42fe-4803-8497-2e4a7bb653b1> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://riemannianhunger.wordpress.com/tag/kobayashi-and-nomizu/ | 2019-06-27T04:05:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000613.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20190627035307-20190627061307-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.952916 | 864 | [

The media wants to portray the defeat of the Left parties in West Bengal and Kerala as the defeat of communists. The people need to assess correctly as to whose defeat it really is.
We have had many kinds of elections in our country over the past 60 years. However, none of these elections have brought the slightest change in the living conditions of the people of any state, district, block or village. When the Congress Party declared Emergency in the decade of the '70s and got completely discredited, then the "communist party" saved the Congress and brought it back to power.
The course of privatisation, liberalisation and globalisation was introduced in 1990 under the banner of New Economic Policy. In the final years of the decade, the bourgeoisie used the BJP government to privatise all enterprises. At the same time, the Gujarat genocide was organised. At that time, the Left that was ruling in West Bengal declared that the BJP is communal and the Congress is secular. So they gave the call, "defeat the BJP and bring Congress to power". This was the slogan of parties calling themselves communists. This is how they saved the bourgeois rule from the people's anger. This is how the CPI and CPM have clung to power.
The bourgeoisie has used the CPM and CPI as long as it found them useful and will use them again in the future if it needs to. | <urn:uuid:371ac24c-ad79-415a-88f5-c9798fb4ce6a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://cgpi.org/index.php/mel/letters-editor/1345-clinging-state-power | 2019-06-16T19:32:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998291.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616182800-20190616204800-00230.warc.gz | en | 0.974513 | 281 | [

Because I always jump when Harmon asks me to, here is a very good, very basic chicken salad recipe. This is the one that Emily thought was so good she ate it out of the cooler the morning after Pat Benatar… after all the ice had melted. It’s 90+ degrees in Memphis in July if you’ll recall, so it must have been pretty darn good for her to risk her health and self-respect just to have a second helping.
4 cups shredded chicken* (rotisserie from the grocery works great for this)
1 stalk celery, sliced very thin
4 green onions, sliced very thin
1.5 tsp fresh tarragon or dill, finely chopped
2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 cup mayo (gotta be Duke’s!)
2 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
- Toss together chicken, celery, green onions, and herbs.
- In another bowl, whisk together mayo, lemon juice, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add to the chicken and mix until well-combined.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. This is even better the day after served on freshly-baked rolls with lettuce and tomato. Just ask Emily.
*You’ll need to cook the chicken before shredding it. Beth and Cat learned that the hard way, right A Dub?
Another entry from the Hutchison cookbook that should send you straight into a sugar coma. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a huge fan of dessert, but these tiny zingers have enough tang to balance the richness. Still, they’re gutbombs, so be prepared to couch it post-munch.
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups sugar
4 eggs slightly beaten
4 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp grated lime rind
4 tbsp flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
- Preheat oven to 325.
- Blend room-temperature butter with flour and sugar.
- Press into 9×13 greased pan and bake for 20 minutes or until edges are brown.
- While crust is baking, mix filling ingredients together.
- Pour over baked crust and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
- Cool and sift powdered sugar over the top. Cut into squares and serve.
I thought this recipe was a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people ask what the actual seven layers are in Seven Layer Dip. So here ya go.
The secret is using picante sauce where so many people use salsa because it gives you just enough zing to cut through the creaminess.
(It’s also technically 8 layers if you include the tomatoes on the top, but it will be so good that no one will complain.) Now go getcho chips and enjoy.
2 15 oz cans refried beans with green chiles
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups guacamole
picante sauce (medium or hot), enough to cover the guac layer
2 cups shredded cheddar and monterey jack cheese
4 green onions, chopped
4 oz can sliced black olives
3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
Fritos or Scoops
- If you want to serve the dip hot, preheat the oven to 350.
- Mix mayo and sour cream together.
- Layer ingredients in order, starting with beans and ending olives.
- Bake for 30 minutes, top with tomatoes and serve. Or, if you’re of the more impatient variety or you prefer this cold, add tomatoes, sit and chow.
This is the corn dip that Emily so famously ate the morning after Pat Benatar… after it sat in an iceless cooler all night. Yep. So that happened.
Also, this recipe makes what we in the biz call “a shat ton,” so divide this in half if you’re not feeding a crowd. Or Emily.
3 (11 ounce) cans Mexican-style corn***
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 can Rotel, drained
1 bunch green onions, chopped (green parts only)
1/2 (8 oz) container sour cream
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1.5 cups mayonnaise
10 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
hot sauce and Cavendar’s or Tony Chachere’s to taste
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine Mexican-style corn, green chilis, green onions, sour cream, jalapeno pepper, mayonnaise, and cheddar cheese. Mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate (at least half an hour, but overnight is best). Serve with chips and keep away from Lowery.
***I just made this using 4 ears of fresh corn cut off the cob instead of the cans, and I must say DO IT. So easy and yet so much better. (6/30/11)
I don’t even like cucumbers, and I LOVE this dip. Pickling the cucumbers overnight makes this a mess o’ salty goodness.
2 large cucumbers (deseeded)
½ cup of vinegar
2 tsp. of salt
½-1 tsp. of garlic salt
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. of cream cheese
- Wash and grate unpeeled cucumbers
- Add vinegar and salt to the grated cucumbers
- Stir, cover and let stand overnight in fridge
- Next day press out liquid.
- Blend garlic salt, cream cheese and combine with cucumbers | <urn:uuid:c2c7c986-9764-44f0-b964-f4a3774ad829> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://nummynumnum.wordpress.com/tag/cold/page/2/ | 2019-06-16T18:38:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998291.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616182800-20190616204800-00230.warc.gz | en | 0.864785 | 1,215 | [

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method is useful for the characterization of thermoplastics and thermoplastic compounds, in terms of viscosity, or resistance to flow.
5.2 The data produced by this test method has been found useful in both quality-control testing and compound development. However, direct correlation with factory conditions is not implied.
5.3 Flow-performance data permits quality control of incoming thermoplastics and thermoplastic compounds because the flow parameters are sensitive to molecular weight and molecular-weight distribution. Therefore, this test method may distinguish differences between lots.
5.4 The shear viscosity or flow viscosity of thermoplastics and thermoplastic compounds will not only be sensitive to the raw-polymer molecular properties, but will also be affected by the type and amount of filler, additive, plasticizer, or stabilizer, by the type of copolymer blend, and by the addition of other compounding materials. This test method can serve as a quality-control tool for either incoming materials or for in-house quality-assurance checks on production mixing. This test method is useful to the research and development of new products in that the rheological behavior of a yet uncharacterized thermoplastic or thermoplastic compound can be measured and considered for comparative analysis.
1.1 This test method covers the use of a screw-extrusion-type capillary rheometer for the measurement of flow properties of thermoplastics and thermoplastic compounds. The measured flow properties, which are obtained through laboratory investigation, may help to describe the material behavior that occurs in factory processing.
1.2 Since a screw-type capillary rheometer imparts shear energy to the material during testing, the measurements will usually differ from those obtained with a piston-type capillary rheometer (see Test Method ).
1.3 Capillary rheometer measurements for thermoplastics and thermoplastic compounds are described in Test Method .
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 1: There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard. The scope of this standard is mentioned in ISO 11443:2014, Plastics—Determination of the fluidity of plastics using capillary and slit-die rheometers,” Annex C, “Uncertainties in the determination of shear viscosity by capillary extrusion.”
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

The Washington Post’s Jeffrey H. Birnbaum and John Solomon report on Sen. John McCain’s ties to lobbyists–especially the 32 lobbyists who are designated fundraisers (the preferred term is bundlers, but there are more colorful terms available to us) for his campaign.
The story does a good job of identifying who these lobbyists are and what interests their firms represent. The Post references this joint study by Public Citizen and the Campaign Finance Institute, but it looks to me like their numbers are different than the Post’s. The study says that McCain has 20 lobbyists among his bundlers, not 32–see this table for the numbers. Public Citizen’s White House For Sale site does say there are 32 lobbyists working as bag men for McCain, but the database doesn’t include a field that identifies which of the dozens and dozens of those bag men are registered to lobby. Still, it’s an incredible resource for looking into the campaigns. I wish we had a similar resource for congressional candidates. | <urn:uuid:4a29ca83-b617-4f5f-bc22-36680fa588e5> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://sunlightfoundation.com/2007/12/31/mccain-lobbyists/ | 2019-06-17T22:54:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998581.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617223249-20190618005249-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.964066 | 210 | [

Just because I have a stoma, it doesn’t mean that I’m magically better
When you are chronically sick, do you ever feel that you have to put on a brave face for others when you are struggling?
Personally, I find that those who haven’t experienced long-term illness often expect us to be magically better when we get our ostomies. To a degree, some of us may find that to be the case, or at least the main symptoms of the reason for our ostomy will be alleviated. But it doesn’t mean that we don’t experience side effects from our stoma.
Due to our stomas we may have to deal with leaks, skin issues, fatigue and dehydration amongst other side effects. These factors can take their toll on us mentally as well as physically, which is often underappreciated by others.
Ignorance surrounding invisible illness makes it harder to face
I have heard that some ostomates have been told by loved ones that they should be better, that being sick isn’t an occupation and it’s all in their head. This is appalling to say to anyone. They are statements that someone wouldn’t dream of saying to someone with a visible illness, so why deem it acceptable to say to someone with an invisible illness?
I asked an ostomy group on Facebook to share any phrases they have been told which have upset or frustrated them. Common phrases included:
“You don’t look sick”
“How can you be tired?”
“Have you tried...?”
“It’s all in your head”
“Didn’t your ostomy cure you?”
“I’d love to not work”
“Maybe you need to sleep”
“Such a shame as you look so well”
Phrases like the above can make some people with invisible illnesses feel like they are being bullied or being disbelieved, or perhaps even belittled. Some days it can be incredibly hard for individuals to just get out of bed due to invisible physical or mental health issues. Yet these phrases can make those individuals feel like it’s not ok to be unwell, and that they have to put on a brave face to avoid these awkward assumptions - making their illness even harder to deal with.
Yes, it is ok to not be ok
It’s very common in western culture to brush over things. If you’re not well, don’t feel like you have to put on a brave face and make how you are truly feeling sound insignificant to others. Especially if it is purely because you have been made to feel self-conscious or bad about feeling unwell.
Nobody has the power to make you feel bad unless you let them. So, next time someone makes you feel like you shouldn’t feel unwell, don’t give them that power. Just smile politely and, depending on how comfortable you feel with that person, try to explain why you feel unwell or just change the conversation. | <urn:uuid:f75150fc-21cc-45b1-966c-b5172928cdff> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.securicaremedical.co.uk/blog/is-it-ok-to-not-be-ok | 2019-06-17T23:49:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998581.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617223249-20190618005249-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.964373 | 654 | [

Dr Johann Christof Ragg - Personal Information
I am a trained physicist and doctor. Since 1981 I have been working on the construction of lasers and their applications. As a specialist in diagnostic radiology, I specialize in imaging techniques and especially ultrasound.
Since 1990 I have been working as a doctor and as a scientist exclusively in the field of interventional vascular medicine, which works with miniature tools instead of conventional surgical operations.
This 'focus' has enabled me to perform more than 100,000 successful catheter interventions on veins and arteries. This is - by international standards as well - an extraordinarily vast experience and a good basis for my constant development of new, even better methods. After more than 250,000 ultrasound examinations of blood vessels, an exact diagnosis is also easy for me, so that I can advise you well.
The angioclinic® vein therapy was developed by me in Switzerland with the support of the Swiss angioclinic® AG and Swiss VX GmbH. It is therefore primarily a Swiss therapy, especially for the needs of the discerning Swiss. I am sure you will be thrilled. I promise to pass on our progress to Swiss doctors in many places.
I have been living and working in Switzerland since 2009. The practice in Zurich is my 'dearest child'. A few days a month I treat patients in Munich and Berlin and then return. My patients can always reach me via my mobile phone (also Skype).
You can find my memberships in medical associations, the Swiss Society of Phlebology (SGP) and the Union of Swiss Societies of Vascular Diseases (USGG) at www.venenragg.de
My academic activities are publicly available for professionals at www.venartis.org. | <urn:uuid:fe5883b3-ad5b-49cf-8f6e-f3c4bc990558> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://angioclinic.ch/en/team-en/dr-ragg | 2019-06-19T03:06:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998882.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619023613-20190619045613-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.943205 | 361 | [

Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez lamented the influence churches have on voters, which makes it more difficult for Democrats’ message to “penetrate” because Christian voters “buy” what they hear.
“And we all have to make sure that we’re fluent in what’s happening across our ecosystem so we can come to each other’s defense because we need to build a bigger orchestra. They’ve had a big orchestra for some time and they’ve got the megaphones to amplify it, whether it’s Sinclair at the local level or Fox at the national level,” Perez during a Demand Justice event Wednesday.
“I’ve learned this from the outreach we’ve done at the DNC. Why aren’t we penetrating, I ask? And I had someone in northwest Wisconsin tell me: ‘You know what? For most of the people I know, their principle sources of information are Fox News, the NRA newsletter and the pulpit on Sunday.’ And it should come as a surprise to no-one that our message doesn’t penetrate,” Perez continued.
“It should come as a surprise to no-one that that person has elevated the issue of courts to the top because that person on the pulpit is saying ‘ignore everything else that this person has done and is doing, we have to focus on one issue of Roe vs. Wade.’ And people buy it. Because that’s their only source,” he said.

When you stand,
But each time you do,
Life smashes your knees.
When after grueling therapy sessions,
You finally manage to take those first few steps again,
Only to find a cane made of the finest teak,
Flying right at you, faster than a Concorde.
If it’s shame on me if you fool me twice,
How is one expected believe again?
How many times is enough?
Why bother trusting again?
Again. Yeah. I’ll say it again-
I’m fragile as fuck.
After all the constant knocks.
You knew. Yet you swore. Because you knew.
And then this.
I never asked to be a fighter,
I don’t care if you think I’m strong.
Hear me proper. LISTEN clear this time.
I am weak; I am a repulsive mess.
Are you still proud of me now? Oh wait..
You only were, when it suited your mood anyway.
You threw me into a burning hell
Where I’m numb with indifference,
Yet feel every insignificant thing with such deep intensity
That constant pain is my new found heart beat.
There is no point to anything.
Truth is a relative joke of convenience.
Take a knife, rip me open
And finish what you started.
I just want to be forever numb,
Let patience keep fucking itself over.

Coleraine boss Oran Kearney admitted he was a tinge disappointed as his side drew 1-1 with league leaders Crusdaers in Belfast on Tuesday night.
The Bannsiders, two points behind the Danske Bank Premiership leaders going into the crunch game,had taken the lead through a Jamie McGonigle penalty on 67 minutes.
But David Cushley ensured the Crues remain two points clear with an equaliser five minutes from the end.
Kearney said: “When go into the last 10 minutes in a game of this magnitude with a one-nil lead, it’s perhaps disappointing we didn’t see it out.
“So we are a little disappointed we didn’t leave with all three points.
“Their goal was probably the only time we didn’t defend a set-piece properly all night.
“We knew that’s what Crusaders are good at. They are always dangerous from set plays.
“But it was a brilliant game, just what I expected.
“For our lads, it was another great experience and another important learning curve to perform in such a hostile environment.
“To a man, they boys were brilliant. My message to them now is there is a huge amount of football left. We are trying to chase down a league title, so we don’t expect it to be handed to us.
“Sometimes you have to go through the mill and do it the ugly way. It’s all about mentality at this stage, but we are prepared to take it right to the wire.
“We are all very upbeat and are looking forward to the next four games.”
Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter insisted Cushley has the knack of grabbing vital goals.
“Cushley has got that about him,” said Baxter. “A lot of his goals come quickly when he gets on to the pitch.
“He’s inclined to get shots away when he can. I knew he would get chances within the first five minutes of being introduced.
“I told the boys not to panic because we had a good 15 minutes left to get the equaliser and maybe even a winner.
“We had all the big chances in the second and are a little bit disappointed we didn’t get over the line, but the reality is when you are one-nil down with 15 minutes to go, you’d take a draw all day long.
“There wasn’t enough football played . . . the technical players didn’t really get on the ball.
“We had to dig deep when the penalty went in. I thought we were the better team in the second half.”

- Do you want to know the truth, Lex? I'm afraid you won't like it very much. You are not him. You will never be Superman. Even when you try to do good, you cannot escape the base iniquity of your race. This is just who you are. No matter how hard you try. Crawling amidst the detritus. All of you. You are only human. You will only ever be human. And soon you will be gone.
- -- Mister Oz
Appearing in "Only Human, Part 2: The Truth"
Synopsis for "Only Human, Part 2: The Truth"
Superman to continues to fight Lex, who has been infected by one of the Machinist's mind ticks. According to the Machinist, the mind ticks cause the victims to act on their basest instincts and reveal their most hidden desires. Upon being infected by the mind tick, Lex is acting on his resentment against Superman, who asks Lex to reassert control of himself. Unfortunately, Lex is being mutated by the Apokoliptian technology on his suit. His skin becomes grey and his eyes become red, with Superman noticing Lex is becoming more and more like Darkseid.
Superman takes Lex to low orbit and attempts to reason with him, but Lex gives into his anger again and attacks Superman with Kryptonite darts. The weakened Superman falls to Earth while Lex barely comes back to his senses. Realizing what he has done, Lex dashes to remove the darts from Superman's body and activates every single device on his suit, causing it to overload and fall apart. Superman quickly recovers and saves Lex before they hit the ground.
The Machinist is shocked that Lex broke free from the mind tick and Superman and Lex tell him that the mind ticks were designed to handle Apokoliptian technology. The activation of every device on Lex's suit broke the mind tick and allowed Lex to come to his senses. Superman quickly incapacitates the Machinist's troops and captures the Machinist, who has been hiding as one of the soldiers.
Later, as the militia gets broken up by the authorities, Superman asks Lex who provided the Machinist with Lexcorp resources. Lex doesn't know but he plans to find out. Lex returns to Lexcorp and investigates his recent findings. He notices one of the Machinist's henchmen has a strange tattoo on his arm. Suddenly, Mr. Oz teleports into Lex's lab and quickly erases Lex's data about the recent events. Lex was getting too close to discovering Mr. Oz's existence, forcing Oz to act directly. Oz reveals he was the one that stole Lex's designs and used a secret network built by Lex himself.
Oz says that Lex is still acting like a criminal, but Lex insists he built that network as a security measure against alien invasions. He attempts to attack Oz with his rebuilt armor but Oz easily resists the attack and uses a burst of heat vision to destroy the chestpiece on Lex's armor, all the while taunting and demoralizing Lex with the knowledge that no matter how hard he tries to be a hero, he will never be like Superman. By the end of the day, Lex is still human and humans will cease to exist. Oz leaves while Lex is left devastated.

The Aquatic Oxygenator
AquaKler™ is a unique product specifically formulated to provide months of time-released oxygen in aquatic media for the immobilization of Phosphorus. The rate at which the oxygen is released is based on the need of the water being treated.
When dissolved in water, AquaKler breaks down, releasing oxygen into the water at a slow but constant rate. As a result, AquaKler functions as a water conditioner that provides a comfortable environment for aquatic life such as plants, fish and other aquatic animals.
The benefits that AquaKler provides to lakes and ponds are summarized as follows:
AquaKler provides essential dissolved oxygen. This is mainly beneficial to fish and other aerobic organisms, and it solves the problem of oxygen-deficient ponds. The ratio of dissolved oxygen (DO) between organisms and the water keeps the pond in balance.
AquaKler provides a stable and continual source of dissolved oxygen. This makes AquaKler an economical and ecologically sound aquatic treatment for oxygen-deficient water.
AquaKler improves the pH value. Research and practical usage has shown that AquaKler improves the sub-aqueous (sludge) pH and prevents water from acidifying.
AquaKler reduces the sub-aqueous content (sludge). A heavy sludge content prevents fish and aerobic bacteria from reproducing and disrupts the aquatic ecological balance. AquaKler has shown its ability to dramatically reduce sludge content in organic laden aquatic bodies.
AquaKler drastically reduces carbon dioxide and Hydrogen Sulfide. Excess carbon dioxide hinders oxygen absorption by aquatic life and results in excess organic matter. AquaKler removes Hydrogen Sulfide compounds by releasing oxygen. This improves water quality from the pond floor to the surface.
AquaKler helps clear turbid water. This improves total health and balance of the aquatic environment.
Here’s what to expect from an application of AquaKler to unbalanced aquatic environments:
- Improved environment for aquatic life
- Faster aerobic and biological activity
- Enhanced biodegradation of organic matter
- Reduction of biological oxygen demand (BOD)
- Enhanced enzymatic diversity
- Odor & pH control
- Water clarification
- Environmental Improvements.
“I would like to thank you for introducing us to your product, Aquakler. We have had numerous lakes that we have been unable to control using the products that have been available to us in the past. We applied the Aquakler to these lakes and have had outstanding results in just a few weeks.”
Bobby Van Saun
“We had an aquatic area that became problematic and unsightly after pumps failed. Thirty days after the application of Aquakler the water was crystal clear.”
WCI Communities, Inc.
“We have had great success with Aquakler in our most difficult ponds and lakes. The product has shown to significantly restore both aquatic clarity and manageability.”
“The results I have seen with Aquakler have been more than satisfactory.” | <urn:uuid:d1c75e90-869e-4276-ba0f-ebce889a31c0> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.geoponicscorp.com/aquatic-chemistries/aquakler/ | 2019-06-20T13:26:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999218.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620125520-20190620151520-00030.warc.gz | en | 0.926041 | 643 | [

Supplements for Colds
Question: Do any supplements help prevent or treat a cold?
Answer: There is evidence that certain supplements can reduce the chance of getting a cold and/or reduce the severity of a cold.
Zinc can directly kill cold viruses and, when taken as a lozenge (as opposed to a pill), it may significantly reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms. However, it needs to be taken properly and at the correct dosage and it should not be taken for more than about a week due to concerns about excessive zinc.
Unless you are deficient in vitamin C, there's not much evidence that it can help prevent a cold. However, if taken routinely during cold season, it may reduce the severity of a cold.
Evidence for echinacea has been mixed. In general, this herb may be more effective for reducing the risk of catching a cold, rather than reducing symptoms of an existing cold. One large study found that taking a branded liquid echinacea three times daily during cold season modestly reduced the risk of getting a cold; if taken 5 times daily during a cold, it reduced the amount of pain medication, such as aspirin, used during colds.
Andrographis (Andrographis paniculata), sometimes referred to as "Indian echinacea," is an herb which has been shown in several clinical studies to help prevent colds and reduce cold symptoms such as earache, sleeplessness, nasal drainage, and sore throat. Much of the research on this herb has been conducted on a branded formula (Kan Jang from Swedish Herbal Institute) which contains a combination of andrographis and Siberian ginseng. Although generally considered to be safe and well-tolerated, it should be noted this herb may not be suitable for people with certain autoimmune diseases or gallbladder disease.
Preliminary evidence suggest that beta glucan (a type of soluble fiber from sources such as yeast or grains) may improve certain measures of immune system function — although the evidence is mixed as to whether or not this translates into a reduced risk of a cold . For example, a study in otherwise healthy adults who had recurring colds found that 900 mg of beta glucan (Yestimun, Leiber GmbH, Germany) taken daily for 4 months reduced the number of colds by 25% compared to placebo (Auinger, Eur J Nutr 2013), and a daily dose of either 250 mg or 500 mg of another beta glucan product (Wellmune WGP) was found to reduce the incidence of respiratory infections in runners when taken for one month following a marathon (Talbott, J Sports Sci and Med 2009). However, another study found 500 mg of Wellmune WGP did not decrease the incidence of respiratory infections in adults compared to placebo (Feldman, J Appl Res 2009).
There is some evidence that a branded fermented yeast product containing beta glucan (EpiCor, Embria Health Sciences) may modestly help to increase certain measures of immune function and reduce the occurrence of colds.
Overall, the evidence is mixed on whether garlic supplements are effective against colds. However, as discussed in our Encyclopedia article on garlic, one study found taking a garlic supplement daily throughout the winter reduced the likelihood of catching a cold by almost two-thirds, and those who caught a cold recovered about one day faster than those who did not take garlic.
Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in the liver which is important for immune function. It is sometimes promoted to boost the immune system or help to ward off colds. To date, one small study found that a dose of 250 mg or 1,000 mg per day for six months reduced oxidative stress compared to placebo - although there does not appear to be any evidence that it prevents colds or reduces cold symptoms.
Some people have reported taking melatonin to help boost the immune system and promote sleep while having a cold. Very preliminary evidence suggests melatonin has some antiviral properties (Vielma, Acta Trop 2014), although there does not appear to be any research specifically on colds in people.
There is some evidence that elderberry extract has antibacterial and antiviral activity, but a study of overseas travelers took either elderberry extract (600 mg per day for 8 days before travel and then 900 mg per day during travel for 4-5 days afterward were just as likely to get a cold as those who took a placebo. However, among those who did get a cold, colds were 2 days shorter and symptoms were less severe than for those who took the placebo (Tiralongo, Nutrients 2016). The study was funded by the manufacturer of the extract (BerryPharma, Iprona AG (Italy)).
Astragalus is often promoted to help fight colds when taken at the onset of a cold. Preliminary evidence suggests it may help to stimulate the immune system, although there do not appear to be studies in people on the effects of astragalus on cold symptoms.
Olive leaf extract is promoted to boost the immune system and fight colds. However, despite laboratory studies suggesting it has some antiviral activity, there are no studies on the effects of olive leaf extract supplementation on cold symptoms in people. | <urn:uuid:ada9fcd2-7374-4f28-8760-d243c44c1b89> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.consumerlab.com/answers/do-any-supplements-help-prevent-or-treat-a-cold/supplements_for_colds/ | 2019-06-20T13:26:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999218.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620125520-20190620151520-00030.warc.gz | en | 0.960539 | 1,163 | [

Cargill joins Scaling Up Nutrition Movement in multi-country effort to end under-nutrition
Company to support food security initiatives in SUN countries where Cargill operates
MINNETONKA, Minn., June 7, 2013 – Cargill announced today it has joined Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) as a member of the SUN Business Network. The SUN Movement currently unites the governments of 40 countries and civil societies, the United Nations, donors, businesses and researchers in a collective effort to improve nutrition. The SUN Business Network is being co-chaired by the World Food Programme and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), both of which are among the organizations that Cargill collaborates with to improve food security.
In joining the SUN Business Network, Cargill is supporting the SUN Movement globally and at the country level, particularly in the areas of agriculture and education in countries where Cargill operates. The agriculture agenda promoted by the SUN Movement focuses on improving the quantity and quality of agriculture production. It is working to promote food and nutrition security for farmers, families and communities. The SUN Movement also promotes education, ensuring that improved agricultural incomes lead to more nutritious food choices so children have the energy they need to grow, learn and become more economically productive adults.
Cargill Vice Chairman Paul Conway said joining the SUN Movement aligns with Cargill’s dedication to nourishing people and its commitment to increasing food security around the world.
“Every year, we work directly with millions of farmers to help them grow more food more sustainably, reach more markets, receive fair pricing and improve their standards of living,” said Conway. “We believe raising incomes in agricultural communities helps farmers and their families improve the quality of their diets, and we will continue to explore ways in which agricultural productivity can lead to better nutrition. In addition, many of our farmer training initiatives encompass broader social and community needs, such as nutrition and health education, improved children’s education and improved access to safe drinking water. We are pleased to be joining the SUN Movement in its vitally important work to reduce the unacceptably high numbers of malnourished children in the world.”
Cargill is working to improve food security in collaboration with other organizations in SUN countries, including Guatemala, Haiti, Indonesia, Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, Malawi and Tanzania and globally through its participation in the Flour Fortification Initiative.
In Ghana, Cargill is partnering with CARE on a program that helps improve incomes and quality of life for cocoa farmers and their families. Cargill is collaborating with the University of Notre Dame Haiti Program to establish a salt-fortification venture aimed at halting the spread of Lymphatic Filariasis and preventing Iodine Deficiency Disorder. In Guatemala, Cargill partners with CARE’s Integrated Program for Vulnerable Children in Central America (EDUCAN), which works with children and their parents to improve nutritional health. Cargill also supports the nonprofit organization Partners in Food Solutions (PFS) and is among its consortium of food companies working together to link the technical and business expertise of employee volunteers to small and growing food processors and millers in the developing world. PFS is actively involved in projects in SUN countries, including Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania and Malawi.
Over the last five years, Cargill has contributed more than $55 million to reduce hunger and improve nutrition through partnerships with a diverse group of global, national and local organizations.

Measure 91 to legalize marijuana passed with 55.9% of the votes in Oregon. Now the task of implementing the regulations falls to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, whose chair, Rob Patridge, pledged to "make this measure work Oregon's way" the day after the election.
But chairman of the OLCC isn't Patridge's only job. He's also the district attorney of Klamath County, where Measure 91 was opposed by 56 percent of the voters, including, presumably, Rob Patridge.
As part of my investigation into the Kevin Sabet Oregon Marijuana "Education" Tour, I uncovered emails from five counties' district attorney's offices, though, sadly, that did not include Klamath County. But it did include the Oregon District Attorneys listserve, where, on August 18, the Benton and Wasco County DAs voiced their opposition and the Crook County district attorney, Daina Vitolins, explained how she told the Bend Bulletin newspaper that "I told him ODAA had voted but that did not necessarily mean EVERY SINGLE DA opposed 91. I declined to tell him names or numbers but said the organization as a whole chose to oppose 91."
The Bulletin ended up reporting that the opposition to Measure 91 "consists mainly of the state's district attorneys and the state's sheriffs' association." The paper further commented, "The Bulletin asked the state's 36 district attorneys where they stand on Measure 91, and the group was unanimously against it, though they weren't lockstep in their reasons for opposing it. The district attorneys from Josephine, Union and Malheur counties didn't respond to the question."
In addition to being opposed to the measure he's now tasked with implementing, Rob Patridge lacks the fundamental understanding of both the science of cannabis use and the language of Measure 91. As a Southern Oregon TV station KTVL reported, Patridge opposed Measure 91 in part for its lack of an unscientific DUID standard. "Just like .08 is there for alcohol, that is not included in this particular measure," said Patridge, revealing his ignorance of how marijuana has no reliable equivalent to the 0.08 BAC used to determine alcohol impairment.
Patridge was also upset that there weren't any limits on licensing written into Measure 91. "You can be a producer, a distributor and a wholesaler and sell, so you can ... hold all four licenses," said Patridge, without any hint of the irony that he runs a commission that applies those same licensing procedures to alcohol - Measure 91 copied that language from the existing liquor laws Patridge's OLCC enforces.
Earlier in the year, Patridge was explaining to a Salem, Oregon TV station KDRV that he and the OLCC aren't competent to do the job. "We lack the training; we lack the testing that may have to go hand-in-hand with this. We lack, frankly some of the legal obligations that would have to go with this," said Patridge.
In a sit-down interview with The Oregonian in Portland shortly after the election, Patridge gave some insight on where he believes the legislature should step in to modify Measure 91. "We don't need excessive regulation," said Patridge. "By the same token, our goal is to protect public safety so we don't make edibles attractive to kids and we don't do things that other states have stumbled with because of the rapid nature of how they have had to" implement laws legalizing marijuana.
How will Oregon regulate edibles? How will the medical marijuana program co-exist with the recreational laws? Should there be a limit on the number of marijuana licenses? "All of that is on the table right now," Patridge told The Oregonian. "I certainly think it would be better to look at all approaches and keep the door open."
Guiding the measure through the legislature will be long-time allies to the state's medical marijuana lobbyists, State Sen. Floyd Prozanski and State Rep. Peter Buckley. But judging from comments the two made in The Daily Astorian newspaper on the north coast, advocates for marijuana legalization may not be happy with the legislative outcomes.
Regarding those THC-infused edibles that were the focus of the No on Measure 91 campaign and a concern to OLCC Chair / Klamath DA Patridge, Sen. Prozanski told the Daily Astorian, "I think we need to have a discussion about what's going to be available at a retail level for sale and consumption, as opposed to what's available in the medical program." It might make sense to more strictly regulate the "shape and fashion" of edible marijuana products available for recreational use, so they do not appeal to children, as well as "some of the extremely high THC products," Prozanski said.
Does that mean medical marijuana dispensaries might carry multi-colored infused gummi bears, but rec shops would have to carry beige-colored flavorless infused gummi discs? Those kinds of decisions will be made with the final approval of the Klamath County DA who opposed marijuana legalization and told Portland's TV station KOIN the day after the election, "Protecting kids is very important. The edibles piece is usually important."
Other considerations by the legislature mentioned in the Daily Astorian include Sen. Prozanski's call to move the date when personal possession and cultivation becomes legal from July 1, 2015, to a sooner date, as well as expunging the records of those convicted of marijuana crimes that became legal with the passage of Measure 91. Rep. Buckley mentioned streamlining the regulation of medical marijuana growers and testing facilities that could serve as a blueprint for Measure 91 recreational regulations.
Rep. Buckley also brought up consideration of tightening the qualifications for the medical marijuana program for preventing recreational users and illegal growers from using the program as a tax dodge or a trafficking cover.
Lobbyists for the cities and counties in Oregon have an issue with the local ban provisions of Measure 91. It allows for cities and counties to vote to ban marijuana licensees only through a vote of the people that cannot happen until November 2016. Those lobbyists complain that licensure will begin in January 2016, so cities and counties may already have functioning pot licensees up and running before they get a chance to band them, possibly opening the banning jurisdiction to lawsuits for restraint of trade.
Unmentioned in the Daily Astorian story are the 49 cities in Oregon that pre-emptively passed local taxes on marijuana prior to Measure 91's passage. While the measure explicitly vests taxation power at the state level, explicitly forbids taxation at the local level, and explicitly repeals and supersedes already-passed taxes, my sources tell me there will be a major push at the legislature to get those taxes "grandfathered in" by legislation. Such a move would go expressly against the will of the people, especially in cities like Portland where the measure passed by over 70 percent. | <urn:uuid:fba07129-87c4-4c5a-9723-131fdab708b8> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/district-attorney-who-opp_b_6161346 | 2019-06-25T02:39:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999783.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625011649-20190625033649-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.967459 | 1,416 | [

I got the idea to see Bilbunya Dunes from YouTube video recommended by my good mate Mike. I was planning a long drive west anyway vaguely wishing to visit the amazing Nullarbor and the video highlighting the wanders of the Great Australian Bight gave my vague idea of a trip the needed purpose and objective.
I never knew that my trip will coincide with one of the biggest storms to hit Australia, but that was tomorrow. My first night after a day’s drive saw me just past Mildura, some 1000 km out of Sydney and WikiCamps recommended to spend the night around a lake named Lake Cullulleraine.
This is a happy place. Chilly wind blowing from south/west prompted me to zip the side wall (designed and made by Vesko) to the car awning and create a cosy homey space, where I could enjoy a couple of pork rashers on the BBQ with a plentiful green salad – the charcoal BBQ providing warmth against the chilly night.
There is an amazing sunset, hinting at the volatile weather that would come the next day, but the morning is calm and sunny, perfect for a short stroll around the lake.
On the road again I don’t feel the kilometres fly away. Another thousand of them get me to Ceduna, on the west coast of South Australia, past Renmark, past Port Augusta and past numerous villages with names like Kimba, Wudinna, Yaninee, Poochera, Wirrulla, which seem to have identical grain storage facilities (silos) proudly erected right next to the highway…
The kilometers fly away. I think the small bushes with the strange grayish color are called salty bush – they survive in a salty soil (problem for rural Australia), but are eatable by a particular type of sheep. I could be wrong.
The sun is very low and the light reflections in the water around the long jetty bring the feeling of holiday and idleness. But it is getting late and I have to find my camping spot for the night. Before I do, I find a bottle shop to buy a carton of local beer called West End. A few intoxicated locals lurk around the bottle shop and scare the shit out of me, so I give them a very wide berth.Ceduna is nice – it has relatively cheap diesel and I find a well-stocked supermarket to replenish the fruit and vegies in my fridge, because when you cross into South Australia you must get rid of all organic (fresh, green) mater to protect the fruit growing industry there.
WikiCamps says that this place out of Ceduna is perfect to stay overnight, but has a lot of mosquitos. And that’s exactly right; the moment I stop the car, billions of mozzies start buzzing their desire to feast on my fresh blood if I let them. I choose not to, zipping my mosquito net onto the car awning – a life saver.
Tonight I cook spaghetti Bolognese and enjoy a couple of West End Beers (I find it a bit rough, but still drinkable). Outside the net, the hungry mozzies are relentless, but the net holds well. This gives me real satisfaction.
The next day I am still unaware of the huge storm bashing South Australia. Only the strong winds hitting the bushes seem very strange so early in the morning. You would think that with the strong wind the mosquitos will be gone. Wrong! The moment I start packing up, they descend on me with vengeance and I run like a lunatic forward and back to escape their attacks. This strategy doesn’t work well; the mozzies manage to take their due.
I start driving again and everything is good, especially when I enter the flat country that is called Nullarbor and it is truly amazing – there is virtually nothing there, wherever you look, except huge spaces all around and above. It is something you don’t look at like a tourist, it is something you experience. Enormous dramatic clouds in the skies give the space dimension and depth, emphasising the smallness of everything else. Later I will learn that the clouds are the periphery of the massive cyclone descending on South Australia, while I drive away from it.
A few shots driving along Nullabor:
Soon I notice something else very strange – at 112 km/h the car computer shows average fuel consumption of 16-18 litres (should be 8 – 9). I drop to 100 km/h and the numbers don’t change much. When I stop to investigate, the wind outside hits me so hard, I nearly lose my balance. Ha, I’ve been driving against very strong wind (the tail of the cyclone) without even realizing. No wander I burn so much fuel, despite the Landie not complaining or struggling.
Now the fuel consumption becomes a concern, so I decide to stop at the next available diesel, which happens to be Nullarbor Station. The fuel here is very expensive – probably the most expensive along the way.
Something interesting happens at the diesel pump – I line up behind VW Golf and contemplate the strong wind blowing into the red hair of a beautiful girl that comes out of the Golf. She has very white arms and wears a long elegant dress, which doesn’t suit the surrounding reality at all. The wind also makes a mess of her dress. This is Siobhan from Ireland, currently a student of literature and creative writing in Sydney (details which I will learn several days later, when I meet her again in Broken Hill).
Soon it becomes clear that something’s wrong. The red hair girl cannot fill the tank, the diesel just spills out. She smiles apologetically at me and I come out to investigate. It appears the mis-fuel valve has locked the tank. I fiddle with it a bit, but I can do nothing to open it. The line of weary travellers behind us is growing and we have to pull away from the pump to solve the problem.
We park under a shelter and Siobhan searches the glove box for the owner’s manual. The owner’s manual is not there – she has forgotten to put it in! She is now frantic, but lucky with my Telstra dongle I have Internet connection and Google tells me quickly how to release the valve.
All this time the wind is blasting so strong that we can hardly stand on our feet. I’m just about to release the valve, when suddenly the roof of the shelter above is violently ripped away by the wind. That is scary. We quickly move the cars and drive back to the pump, only to discover that the mis-fuel valve locks up again. This time I see that the trouble is the pump nozzle – it pumps diesel all right, but it is thin like a petrol nozzle and triggers the mis-fuel valve. So with adjusted diesel filing technique I manage to top up the Golf’s tank. The red hair Irish girl is very grateful…
After this little incident I enjoy driving along the Nullarbor, with the dramatic clouds above me. The wind never stops; there is also rain, sometimes so strong; the windscreen wipers hardly manage to push it away. Sometimes it becomes very dark, so dark, that with the strong rain I can’t see anything, but then there are moments when clouds brake and the sun shines through to light up fantastic rainbows. And so I’m driving another thousand kilometres.
A couple of shots at the same spot a few days later (much calmer weather):
Now, this few shots show how was my driving into the Nullarbor abyss:
Late in the afternoon I get to a place called Caiguna and stop to refuel, despite the expensive diesel. Actually after Ceduna, there is no longer reasonably prized fuel anywhere. The lady attending the station looks exactly like my primary school teacher. She is very negative when I try to ask her about the condition of the dirt road to Bilbunya Dunes. In this weather, she warns me, stay on the highway! Perhaps she is right but for some reason, or maybe because she looks like my primary school teacher, I become defiant like the naughty boy I used to be.
Now I decide not to stay the night here, as I originally planned, but to press on until I find the turn into the bush that will eventually take me to Bilbunya Dunes. I enter the longest straight stretch of road in Australia (145.6 km). That’s what the road sign says, but to me it doesn’t look any straighter than so many other roads I’ve driven in Australia. Nevertheless, it is very straight.
I am a bit apprehensive after the stern warning of my primary school teacher at the roadhouse, but the weather calms down somewhat and after a hundred or so kilometres it becomes nice and encouraging. It also helps that I don’t encounter any jumping “nuts” kangaroos.
Takes me a while to find the dirt road leading to Bilbunya Dunes; there is a false turn into a gravel pit just a few hundred meters before the real track and there are no signs to guide you, but once I find it, I feel good and confident. Problem is the track goes on straight forever without any places suitable for camping.
WikiCamps says there is a bush camp midway through and I aim to get there. But getting there seems to take hours. The going is slow; track is narrow – tree branches constantly scratch the sides of the car and hit the mirrors. I quickly learn to keep the mirrors folded.
I am surprised to find the track dry and firm, considering the huge rain that fell today, but obviously the rain was not here. I drive over a few long sections of dry mud with very deep tyre marks where vehicles much higher than mine have been in wet weather. I gingerly dance the Landie around and over the holes, thinking this would be the end of my trip, if I slide into the one of them holes. Or if it rains for that matter! I try to push the rainy thoughts away from my mind.
It is already dark when I finally get to the bush camp, which is very inviting after the long day’s drive. Dinner tonight is roasted chilly chicken, baked potatoes and garden salad finished with desert of fruit yogurt. The West End beer seems more agreeable tonight. Who knows – by the end of my trip I might start to like it.
The morning is fresh and cheerful especially after two strong coffees, but the going is even slower than last night. During the storm lots of trees and debris have fallen down, blocking the narrow track and I stop constantly to clear a path. A couple of times the trees are so big and heavy that it is impossible to pull them away and I don’t have a chain saw to cut them down. Instead I look for a new path into the bush, which takes time and makes it true off-roading. The Landie doesn’t complain yet.
It takes the better part of the morning to finally drive out of the bush, but there is still long way to go. The track becomes rocky, sandy and rocky again, so bad rocky that I have to crawl the car 1 to 2 km/h often involving three wheels action. It is even harder than the climbing of Mount Pinnibar with Mike. This is where I realise how far and isolated this place is and my brave heart sinks very low somewhere down into my feet. There is a very scratchy narrow section, where the Landie literary opens the bushes on both sides (resulting in numerous, nice side panel scratches), then some more impossible rocky bits, more sand (I like the sand) and finally I get on the steep cliff before the beach. That is where I see Bilbunya Dunes for the first time. The dunes lay white and wide some ten or so kilometres away. I can’t believe how vast they are – it is a sight to behold…
A few more photos getting to the dunes:
Then it is easy – down the rubber cover on the steep cliff, soft sand, tyres down to 12 psi (because from the Simpson Desert crossing I know that to drive on such soft sand you have to get the pressure really low) and I finally get to the dunes without much more drama (the drama will be the next day). Today I’m happy and content!
A few photos around the dunes:
For now I think this is the end of the story of how I got to Bilbunya Dunes.
A few more random photos:

Terry Malts - Noise Pop 2013
Rickshaw Stop SF
Living With The Human Race
What Was It?
Not Far From It
'malternate tuning' (interlude)
Where Is The Weekend
They're Feeding (Subway version)
new one ('I Don't Wanna Go')
Walking With You
Life's A Dream
No Sir, I'm Not A Christian
Something About You
They weren't the headliners for this show, but more than one person noticed that the place was most full with the Malts on.
I didn't stay for more than a few songs for the last act, having been sated by seeing TM and Synthetic ID before them.
"They're Feeding" was punctuated by a mock-rep for Subway taking the group for task for being in breach of contract, as they were supposed to have been promoting the foot-long February $5 deal.
(Ed.'s admission: I had many a $5 footlong during that month, as there's a Subway right near work...right next to it is a McDonald's)
Otherwise, aside from a 'malternate tuning' between Not Far From It and Where Is The Weekend it was an onslaught of old faves (good to hear No Sir again, a few people were shouting for it) and new songs that will hopefully be on their upcoming LP.

Luna and I welcome everyone to the autumnal equinox edition of Weekend Cat Blogging. For us, the changing of the season is more of a formality, but there is no escape from the shrinking days. And for those of us in the U.S., daylight is not the only thing in decline this week.
But I digress. This is about celebrating our feline friends. And we would love to have you all participate. So please leave us a comment with your (cat related) links, and we’ll add you to the round-up…
And with that, let us get started…
We at CatSynth know that it can be challenging to photograph black cats. But it’s well worth the effort, as in this lovely expressive portrait of Maruschka. Definitely not camera shy.
More expressive black cats. Puddy displays some serious ‘tude after refusing to sit still for the camera. This is of course another challenge of cat photography, and Katie is giving up on getting a “pretty photo” for this weekend. We of course still think Puddy is pretty.
Samantha does her impersonation of monorail cat atop a chair, at Life from a Cats Perspective.
We now move from black to white, with August, the handsome British shorthair gentleman at The World According to Pia. Check out his baby photo as well, you can see how much he has grown.
At Anne’s Food, the white kitten Klara is not enjoying her first outing. Luna did not enjoy her first outing either, though as the top photo suggests, she’s becoming queen of our balcony patio. So Klara may come to appreciate the fresh air and grass soon enough.
Meanwhile, Salome enjoys some scritches while Kashim helps himself to the big pot of cat grass that Astrid bought. The weather is turning in Vienna, getting colder and rainer. So less time out on the balcony, and Othello does like this at all.
Our friend kitikata-san presents Weekend Animal Blogging. Animals of many species share shelter, and perhaps friendship, as they ride out hurricane Gustav. It’s a wonderful image, one that humans can learn from.
At The Sour Dough, LB is delighted to have his mom home sooner. He is also enjoying his new mouse toy. We at CatSynth are also curious about the wine that Breadchick has brought back…
Thanks for joining us for Weekend Cat Blogging. We will continue to post entries through Monday as we receive them.
Well, I am back home at CatSynth HQ in California. That means back home with Luna, of course:
Although she is calm and poised in this photo, it's been all purrs and cuddling today, even while I try to work. Not that anyone is complaining.
Today we enjoyed what I traditionally called the “August sun”, that really deep yellow sunlight that gives everything, but especially green leaves, a rich yellow coloring, that feels warm even as the air cools down. It is difficult to capture in a digital photo, but here is one attempt:
I think I should change “August sun” to “Autumn sun”, since the phenomenon extends well into September and even October. And not only here on the west coast. New York was exceptionally warm and getting plenty of “Autumn/August” sun this past week.
I have been working on several improvements for this site, including upgrading our software. As usual, a few things break in the process (e.g., comment displays were a little off, the “tag search” featured on the highways page and elsewhere was completely broken, our “cats synthesizers music art opinion” slogan was missing, etc.). Those are mostly fixed, and now we can proceed to making actual improvments.
Actually, the main change we need to make is in our hosting service. The good folks at A Plus net (the same people who messed up our domain name and left us stranded in the CatSynth FEMA trailer for a week) let us know that we have exceeded our CPU usage limits (not storage or bandwidth) and will need to switch to a more expensive hosting plan – all in a message from the friendly-sounding “abuse at aplus dot net.” So we could simply upgrade our plan, but since our lease is up on October 7 anyway, it might be a good time to shop around for an alternative. We welcome suggestions from our readers on good and bad experiences with hosts – please leave a comment or contact us. Of course, we have to act quickly on this matter…
It's been a rather pleasant October afternoon, warm, breezy, with a clear sky. The mobile sculpture Airborne catches both the wind and the waning October sun:
The garden plants are doing about as well as they have all year. Admist a recent burst of flowers, I noticed this rather impressive spider web:
…not to mention the rather impressive spider that inhabits it:
The peace of the backyard was briefly interrupted by the sound of cats fighting. More worrisome was the sound of an angry dog barking in response. After peeking over the fence to investigate, I was assured by a neighbor that it was “just some crazy cats.” One of the “crazy cats” wandered into view and I immediately recognized him as the friendly grey tabby that often visits my yard (I jokingly refer to him for a while as Luna's “boyfriend”). Foruntately, he seemed to be none the worse for wear.
Cats, or more specifically, cat allergies, have been much in the news this weekend. The New York Times featured an article on a California biotech company that is breeding hyperallergenic “no sneeze” kitties, two of which are pictured to the right. The market for the hypoallergenic cats, which the company says will cost about $4000 USD each, is people who love cats in spite of their allergies. It is certainly a high price tag, but I gather so are the medications for the most severe allergies. Those who seek a more affordable feline companion and want to continue to adopt shelter cats can take heart in a study supporting the theory that having pets cuts allergy risks. Finally, there is this story from Wales about a hospital fighting to keep their cat Tibs, who has chearing up patients for years. While I do my best to avoid hospitals, I know having a cat around would help me during a health crisis.
I had an opportunity last night to jam with some friends and acquaintances I have not seen in a while. I played keyboard, with primarily piano, electric piano and organ sounds, though I did add a Moogerfooger pedal to the mix. Musically, we did a mixture of jazz standards, some 12-bar and 16-bar “headless” jams, and several trippy free-jazz experiments with keyboard, guitar, bass and drums. The latter reminded me of how I would like to get together a standard “quartet” at some point that freely moves back and forther between jazz/funk and experimental improvisation. It would be quite a contrast to my recent performances, but still consistent with my musical vision and sensibilities…
…in another example of slipping back and forth between disparate musical styles, I was listening earlier to alternating tracks from Ethiopiques, which I described in an earlier article, and the rather dark, political, and vaguely Middle-Eastern electronic music of Muslimgauze. The two albums could not be more different in geography, style, production and social context, yet they seemed to work well together. The dark electronica of Muslimgauze worked for me, dispite an implicit political view I probably don't share, and the gritty funk of Ethiopiques brought me back to reality. Perhaps here is the seed of another musical project…
…or just idle thoughts on a warn autumn day… | <urn:uuid:ef6c7120-c340-4caa-b5c6-d61d1d2a643e> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://catsynth.com/tag/autumn/ | 2019-06-27T10:43:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628001089.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20190627095649-20190627121649-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.969867 | 1,672 | [

Binance Labs launches incubator for crypto start-ups
Binance Labs has announced a new incubation programme to support early-stage teams to “help them jump start their best ideas”.
Binance Labs Incubation Programme is a ten-week on-site arrangement designed to help eight to ten firms to deliver a product or a service with a product/market fit held in San Francisco.
The programme provides half a million dollars of seed investment (10% equity), meant to allow start-ups to bootstrap as soon as possible.
It also helps by giving mentorship on the crypto and start-up space, as well as connecting the start-ups with other firms.
The firm announced earlier this year a $1 billion fund to back blockchain and crypto start-ups.
Recently, we reported that Binance signed a memorandum of understanding with Digital Jersey to operate out of Jersey.
In February, Binance had technical issues which forced it to shut all trading. | <urn:uuid:4d47816e-6625-43eb-93a1-ede59697852b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.bankingtech.com/2018/08/binance-labs-launches-incubator-for-crypto-start-ups/ | 2019-06-27T09:58:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628001089.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20190627095649-20190627121649-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.96427 | 202 | [

Overview and FAQ
The series involves three swims in open water at Warrnambool, Port Campbell and Port Fairy.
We have also introduced a short course swim, the aim of which is to entice novice and beginner swimmers of all ages to have a go at ocean swimming.
The Port Fairy Swim is “The Port Fairy Moyneyana Open Water Swim”. The Port Fairy Swim is held on Port Fairy’s East Beach. The course, out through the break, heads west along the beach and back in to the finish.
The Warrnambool Swim is “The Tony Ryan Memorial Swim”. The Tony Ryan Memorial Swim is held in picturesque Lady Bay. The start is to the west of the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club house. The finish is on the beach at the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club clubhouse.
The Port Campbell Swim is “The Twelve Apostles Plunge”. The Twelve Apostles Plunge is held in the breathtaking cliff bound bay of Port Campbell. The course challenges swimmers to a lap of the bay heading out into the open sea between the heads.
Online entries open in November each year.
Online entries close the afternoon prior to each swim, but may vary on volunteers availability (get in early)
On the day entries are available from ~10am prior to each swim.
$35 for 1 swim or $90 for all 3 swims – Short Swim $20 per event
On the day
$45 for single swim
The short course swim is $25 per swim
All swimmers receive one series T-shirt for participating in any number of swims.
Please note that your requested size may not be available.
Swimmers are entered into categories based on their age and gender.
For all 3 swims your age on 30th September is used so if you have a birthday during the series you do not change categories.
Why that date? Well that’s the date the Life Saving Australia declare.
A pre-race briefing will be held at the Clubhouse just prior to 11am where final details of the swim course and other information will be communicated.
Prizes and Results
At the completion of the introductory swim spot prizes and category placings will be announced.
Complete results will also be posted online after each swim.
People who complete all 3 feature swims are automatically included in the overall series results even if they enter each swim separately.
Name and DOB must match exactly across all 3 entries for a series result to be calculated.
The long course feature swim is usually started in two separate groups or waves. The composition of and the time between these waves is determined on a case by case basis on the day depending on the conditions, category numbers, swimmer safety and other considerations.
Introductory swimmers are a single category and start as a single wave.
This shorter swim is not timed and placings are not recorded. The short course introductory swim starts after the completion of the long course feature swim and you must listen out for announcements on the day so as not to miss the start.
It is recommended that the minimum age for the feature swim is 14 years and for the introductory swim, 12 years. The ocean is an unpredictable environment and you should be aware of your or your dependent’s abilities and limitations and assess the conditions on the day before deciding to participate. Anyone with any doubts about their ability to complete the feature swim course on the day is welcome to consider the short course swim as an alternative. Please see the registration desk if you wish to change your registration. | <urn:uuid:d7287725-f035-4108-b6ea-82d31f58751d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://shipwreckcoastswimseries.com.au/overview/ | 2020-08-06T15:16:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439736972.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806151047-20200806181047-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.937539 | 742 | [

Only 546 hectares are planted to the vine in Weststeiermark, but the winegrowing families cultivate them diligently to create an astonishing variety of products: polished white wines from numerous grape varieties as well as the undisputed leading character of the region: the racy Schilcher with lively acidity. This unique terroir-rosé is vinified from the regionally predominant vine Blauer Wildbacher, and has become internationally recognised as a regional specialty.
Region & Wine
The smallest winegrowing region in the Steiermark is ancient wine country, in which Illyrians, Celts – and later, the Romans – all cultivated the vine. The vineyards stretch out in a long and narrow band up to 600 metres above sea level on the foothills of the Koralpe Range and the Reinischkogel, southward down to the Slovenian border.
This particular topography experiences powerful warming during the day, protecting vines against harsh winds. Steep slopes to climb (dotted with picturesque little cellarhouses) and deep valleys to be crossed mark the path, travelling from Ligist in the north via Sankt Stefan ob Stainz to Deutschlandsberg and Eibiswald. Side visits to wine villages like Greisdorf, Gundersdorf, Wildbach or Wies bring impressive perspectives – in terms of the panorama as well as of their wines. Also particular to the region and rather unusual: the stone formations composed of old gneisses and mica schist, along with what is known as the Illyrian climate, which features southern European and Mediterranean influences, with relatively high rainfall.
The interplay of all these elements also explains the distinctive character of the style of wine one encounters here at every turn. Weststeiermark is classic Schilcher territory, because Blauer Wildbacher – an ancient grape variety that grows in the majority of the vineyards – serves as the basis for the pink-hued wine and its remarkable success story. Originally a rustic country wine with aggressive acidity, it was transformed into a highly prized wine of distinction thanks to continuous quality improvements under the hands of ambitious winegrowers, impressive for its red berry notes (from strawberry to raspberry) and a refreshingly animating acidity.
The introduction of Weststeiermark DAC in 2018 took the Schilcher particularly into account: Weststeiermark is the only region in the Steiermark allowed to provide Schilcher with its protected designation of origin. In addition, other typical Styrian white wines – such as Welschriesling, Morillon or Weissburgunder – may also be declared as Weststeiermark DAC. Sauvignon Blanc plays an important role at the Ortswein level.
Not to be underestimated are the rare red variations, as well as sparkling and sweet wines vinified from the Blauer Wildbacher, which enrich Austrian wine country with their individualistic styles. However, they will state their origin as “Steiermark” on the label.
Schilcher is also a key success factor in terms of wine tourism. The wine’s distinctive character makes it an authentic ambassador for one of the most unspoiled and strikingly beautiful wine landscapes in Europe.
- Weststeiermark DAC: Submission for the Federal Inspection Number from 15 January in the year following the harvest; for Welschriesling and Schilcher as of 1 December in the harvest year
- Weststeiermark DAC with designation of municipality: Submission for the Federal Inspection Number from 1 April in the year following the harvest, for Schilcher as of 1 February in the year following the harvest
- Weststeiermark DAC with vineyard designation: Submission for the Federal Inspection Number from 1 April in the year following the harvest, for Schilcher as of 1 February in the year following the harvest'
- not specified
- Weststeiermark DAC: max. 4 g/l; Riesling and Traminer must correspond to the designation “dry”

- Weststeiermark DAC with vineyard designation: max. 4 g/l; Riesling, Gelber Muskateller and Traminer must correspond to the designation “dry”
- Not specified
- Weststeiermark DAC: Designation of origin (incl. “DAC”) must be shown on the primary label (the label with all mandatory information) and the front label. Indication of vintage year is mandatory. Schilcher should be labelled “Schilcher Klassik”.
- Weststeiermark DAC with indication of municipality: Designation of origin (incl. “DAC”) and indication of municipality are to be shown on the primary label (the label with all mandatory information) and the front label.
- Weststeiermark DAC with vineyard designation: Designation of origin (incl. DAC) and vineyard name must be shown on the primary label (the label with all mandatory information) and the front label.
- Qualitätswein with the designation of origin “Steiermark” may show no more detailed indication of origin than simply “Steiermark”
Primary varieties for Ortswein:
The majority of the vineyards are situated on mostly acidic, crystalline solid rock of the Eastern Alpine unit, and towards the east on partly coarse and mostly loose stone from the Styrian Basin. The so-called Schwanberger block rubble (with cubic-metre-sized blocks of crystalline stone) reaches in channels far into the Koralpe Range and supports the vineyards around Sankt Stefan, Wildbach and Schwanberg. Another formation on the perimeter of the basin consists of greenish sands deposited by rivers, which modulate into finely grained, sandy-clay Florian beds towards the interior of the basin. These were deposited in the shallow Paratethys Sea about 16 million years ago. The crystalline solid rock consists of hard plate gneiss, variable and partly pegmatitic gneisses and matrix rock, as well as granitic mica schist and less frequently amphibolites and marble.
The white wines of Weststeiermark and the region’s marquee player Schilcher are traditionally enjoyed with dishes of local origin. They deftly freshen up the cold Buschenschank platter of ham, bacon, cheeses and spreads with their acidity. Schilcher is also ideal as a companion to Styrian fried chicken: the crispy breading calls invitingly for its powerful piquancy and intense fruitiness. But with Schilcher, one can also wander far into the distance with an Indian lamb biryani. And the wine is even more at home further east; in Japan it is considered an insider tip for sushi, with salmon and its roe or – rarely found here – with sardines.

Kids call 911 during home burglary
Intruders flee before deputies arrive
Two children hid in a closet and called 911 during a break-in at their Deltona home Thursday afternoon.
"Oh my God, oh my God. Someone's breaking into my house. I need you right now," said a 13-year-old girl on a call to 911. "They've been knocking. I have no idea how they got in."
The girl and her 10-year-old brother were alone at their home on Captain Drive when they heard pounding on their front door and then a back window.
"They've been knocking. I have no idea how they got in. They just broke in right now," the girl said.
The teen told Volusia County deputies several men forced their way inside through the window.
The children's mother, who was at work, also called 911 to find out what was happening at the home.
"She said that someone was knocking really hard on the door. I said, 'Don't answer. Just let them go away.' She said, 'They're knocking really, really hard.' She's like, 'They came inside ... They broke into the house,'" the mother said. "I just panicked, and I called 911."
When deputies arrived, the burglars were gone. The children were not hurt.
No one has been arrested.
Deputies did not say if anything was stolen from the home. | <urn:uuid:4776539e-8f71-4525-b64d-afd645ae9dba> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.wesh.com/article/kids-call-911-during-home-burglary/4435209 | 2020-08-08T06:52:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737289.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808051116-20200808081116-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.992545 | 300 | [

How many times have you left your dentist’s office feeling like you just weren’t taking good enough care of your teeth? Maybe you aren’t flossing enough, or correctly, or brushing your teeth often enough, or correctly. Or perhaps you’re not getting your bi-annual checkups like you should. We have all had a talking to when it comes to the dentist. But, it’s with good reason that the dentist may be on your case about your oral hygiene. It’s not just because they want you to keep that pearly white smile, but oral hygiene can actually affect your health.
Studies show that 50% of people between 18 and 64 years of age have gum recession.
What is gum recession?
The gums are the part of the mouth that surround and protect the roots of the teeth. Gum recession happens when the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the tooth pulls back, exposing more of the root. When gum recession happens, gaps form between the tooth and the gum line, making the gums more vulnerable to disease-causing bacteria. Gum recession can lead to our roots feeling super sensitive, especially to cold liquids or food. If gum recession goes untreated, it can severely damage the supporting tissue and bone structure of the tooth. In severe cases, gum recession leads to tooth loss.
How does gum recession start?
Most people will not know that they have gum recession because it occurs gradually. The first sign is typically sensitivity to cold liquids or foods. If you’re eating ice cream and you get a sharp pain when you take a bite, that could be a sign. This is not something you want to ignore. If you think your gums may be receding, make an appointment with your dentist.
What causes gum recession?
There are several reasons for why your gums may be receding. Some of these reasons include:
- Periodontal diseases:This disease attacks the gum tissue and supporting bone that hold your teeth in place through bacterial gum infections. Gum disease is one of the most common causes of gum recession.
- Genes:Unfortunately, your genes can determine whether you get gum disease or not. Studies have shown that 30% of the population might be predisposed to gum disease. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how you take care of your dental hygiene.
- Rough tooth brushing:You don’t want to brush your teeth too hard. This could cause the enamel on your teeth to wear away and your gums to recede.
- Bad dental hygiene:Insufficient brushing, flossing, and rinsing with antibacterial mouthwash can make you more susceptible to gum disease and gum recession. That’s because it makes it easier for plaque to turn into calculus. This hard substance builds up between your teeth and can lead to gum disease.
- Hormonal changes:Sometimes, changes in female hormone levels during a woman’s lifetime can make gums more sensitive and thus susceptible to recession. These changes can include puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.
Is gum recession preventable?
In general, keeping up good oral hygiene is one way to prevent gum recession. Brush your teeth gently, and don’t forget to floss. Also, make sure you’re seeing your dentist twice a year, or as recommended. If you start to notice early signs of gum recession, Woodland Hills-based dentist Dr. Kaveh Kanani of Around the Corner Dental Spa recommends using Sensodyne toothpaste as an early preventer.
Can gum recession be treated?
Slight gum recession might be treatable by your dentist through deep cleaning the affected area. The deep cleaning will carefully remove the plaque and tartar that has built up on the teeth and root surfaces before the gum line. Antibiotics could also be given to remove any remaining bacteria that may be harmful. If the patient’s gum recession cannot be treated through deep cleaning due to bone loss, gum surgery may be required.
Traditionally, gum recession would be treated through a very invasive technique. This technique would involve taking a piece of gum from the palate, flapping the infected gum open, placing the palate in, and then suturing it closed. However, this traditional method would cause a lot of pain to the patient. It’s also expensive, and very invasive.
Dr. Kanani’s Pinhole Surgery method to treat gum recession
For the last few years, Dr. Kanani has been performing his unique pinhole surgery method to treat patients with severe gum recession. Dr. Kanani goes into the patient’s mouth with a tool that’s literally the size of a pen. Entering through a small hole in the gum, Dr. Kanani lifts the gum up, drops it down, and adds a connective tissue. The connective tissue is not taken from the patient. The benefits of this method to treat gum recession are:
- No pain
- It’s a flap-less procedure, meaning there’s no need to completely open up the gums
- Once the procedure is done, the hole that was created heals within 24 hours. This means that there’s no need to suture the gum closed after the procedure.
As a worst-case scenario, the patient might experience a little bit of swelling from the procedure for a couple days. But it’s painless and quick. In fact, a patient’s entire upper jaw can be completed in an hour. Overall, the procedure is minimally invasive and leads to faster healing times, and less pain, for the patient.
Dr. Kanani also utilizes the Pinhole Surgery technique for patients who have had dental implants. When the patient has little bone to begin with, sometimes the implant will start to show through the gum line. In this case, the Pinhole Surgery technique was done and you would have never known there was an issue in the first place.
Dr. Kanani’s Pinhole Surgery technique is much more affordable than traditional procedures used to treat gum recession. A patient will only pay approximately $350 per tooth with Dr. Kanani’s procedure. This compares to the $700 per tooth cost with regular dental surgeries to heal gum recession.
“It’s very exciting. Things that we did back then compared to today, it’s like caveman surgery then compared to the type of surgeries we do today.” – Dr. Kaveh Kanani

Reasoning and Decisions in Probabilistic Graphical Models - A Unified Framework
- Author(s): Liu, Qiang
- Advisor(s): Ihler, Alexander
- et al.
Probabilistic graphical models such as Markov random fields, Bayesian networks and decision networks (a.k.a. influence diagrams) provide powerful frameworks for representing and exploiting dependence structures in complex systems. However, making predictions or decisions using graphical models involve challenging computational problems of optimization and/or estimation in high dimensional spaces. These include combinatorial optimization tasks such as maximum a posteriori (MAP), which finds the most likely configuration, or marginalization tasks that calculate the normalization constants or marginal probabilities. Even more challenging tasks require a hybrid of both: marginal MAP tasks find the optimal MAP prediction while marginalizing over missing information or latent variables, while decision-making problems search for optimal policies over decisions in single- or multi-agent systems, in order to maximize expected utility in uncertain environments.
All these problems are generally NP-hard, creating a need for efficient approximations. The last two decades have witnessed significant progress on traditional optimization and marginalization problems, especially via the development of variational message passing algorithms. However, there has been less progress on the more challenging marginal MAP and decision-making problems.
This thesis presents a unified variational representation for all these problems. Based on our framework, we derive a class of efficient algorithms that combines the advantages of several existing algorithms, resulting in improved performance on traditional marginalization and optimization tasks. More importantly, our framework allows us to easily extend most or all existing variational algorithms to hybrid inference and decision-making tasks, and significantly improves our ability to solve these difficult problems. In particular, we propose a spectrum of efficient belief propagation style algorithms with "message passing" forms, which are simple, fast and amenable to parallel or distributed computation. We also propose a set of convergent algorithms based on proximal point methods, which have the nice form of transforming the hybrid inference problem into a sequence of standard marginalization problems. We show that our algorithms significantly outperform existing approaches in terms of both empirical performance and theoretical properties. | <urn:uuid:9fbe3581-1b57-4942-b930-373f0d16ba46> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://escholarship.org/uc/item/92p8w3xb | 2020-08-09T20:50:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738573.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809192123-20200809222123-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.889603 | 442 | [

Nafplio is a sensual, picturesque and romantic city, with imposing Venetian castles, magnificent squares, neoclassical mansions, Turkish mosques and one of the most beautiful pedestrian coastal streets in Greece. Nafplio is without a doubt, one of the most favorite destinations.
Text & Photos: Ioanna Paravalou
Built in the shadow of Palamidi fortress, overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Argolic Gulf, and the picturesque Bourtzi to uniquely adorn the entrance of its harbor, Nafplio can fairly take pride in its natural and architectural beauty.
As mythology tells us, its founder is Nafplios, son of Poseidon and of the "pink fingers" Amymonis. In the course of time, its story was marked by important events. It was the first capital of the newly established Greek state and was governed by John Kapodistrias (who was murdered in 1831 in the prefecture of Saint Spyridon). In 1833 Nafplio welcomed the first king of Greece, Othon from Bavaria. In this city the first parliament, the first military school, the first elementary school, the hospital and many others were established...
Fantastic view of Acronafplia from Palamidi fortress
A stroll through the Old Town
We park the car at the parking lot in the harbor and on foot, on a bicycle or even on the picturesque train we will discover the hidden charm of this place.
The heart of Nafplio is the Old Town. Its central point is the Syntagma Square, with the Venetian Military Building, which hosts the Archaeological Museum. To the east of the city the mosque is located, which housed the first elementary school of the Modern Greek state, while on the southern side is the building of the old Parliament. In its northern part, which is mainly characterized by buildings of the neoclassical period, are the first gymnasium in Greece, the Municipal Gallery and the War Museum. The exceptional Museum of the Peloponnesian Folkloric Found which encloses unforgettable memories is of a particular interest. This place deserves a big "thumbs up" from us for the great work and presentation. The most adorable thing in Nafplio, are its atmospheric cobbled streets, many of which lead you uphill (after climbing a few stairs, of course ...) and the neighborhoods where it is perfect to wander among the neoclassical mansions with the Venetian balconies adorned with blooming bougainvillea and jasmine.
Between its narrow alleyways there are shops with well-crafted rosaries, jewelry, ornate candles, strange table lamps, impressive silhouettes for shadow play and many more. Of particular interest is the Rosary Museum of Aris Evangelinos (at Staikopoulou Street), which is definitely worth visiting. In the streets of the Old Town there is also the church of Saint Spyridon, at the entrance of which the governor, Ioannis Kapodistrias was assassinated. In the early hours, it is worth to make a romantic stroll along the stone-made coastal path that starts from the end of the harbor and reaches to the beach of Arvanitia. You can do this also on a bicycle. For the fans of climbing, there are plenty of places to enjoy your favorite sport.
Walking on the stone road that leads to the beach of Arvanitia.
Feeling as a corsair in Palamidi fortress!
It is indeed an experience to climb the 857 (for others 999...) steps, carved into the rock, which lead through successive gates to the imposing Venetian castle with the picturesque chapel of Saint Andrew. Everything in this city seems to work under the imposing shadow of the Castle. Palamidi at times, was used as a prison for long term convicts. Theodoros Kolokotronis (warrior of 1821) was also imprisoned here. The view from this high point of the castle is fantastic. From here we can overlook the picturesque town of Nafplio and Bourtzi, the small fortress built in 1471on the islet of Saint Theodor. The distance between Bourtzi and the dock is only 450 m. Formerly it was united with Akronafplia with a chain, used to prevent unwanted ships to enter the port.
Discovering the magical world of Palamidi Castle...
One can also visit Palamidi Castle by boat, starting from the beach of Nafplion. In the afternoon (which is the most favorable time…) we enjoy sitting at one of the seaside cafes, having a nice drink and gazing at the magnificent view of Bourtzi.
Once the sun sets for good, we enjoy our dinner at one of the picturesque taverns located in the narrow alleys or at the coastal road. And of course who said that after that we would go to sleep...
The bars of the city, with good music and uplifting atmosphere are there to take over, entertaining us and making us having a good time!
The taverns in the cobbled streets of the old town are prepared and are waiting for us...
It is worth visiting:
- The Museum of the Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation
- The Old Town with its picturesque train
- The Archaeological Museum (Syntagma Square)
- The War Museum (Military Academy)
- The Conservatory and the Mosque
- The church of Saint Spyridon
- The Lion of Siegel (district of Providence)
- Palamidi Castle • Bourtzi, by boat from the harbor
- The beach of Arvanitia from the stone coastal alley
- Tolo with its beautiful beach
- The Rosary Museum of Aris Evangelinos
What to buy:
Honey, handmade decorative candles, rosaries, handcrafted lamps, silhouettes for shadow play, jewelry, traditional spoon sweets and jams. | <urn:uuid:c367fc4f-7a5e-4744-b3bd-0445873e9dc3> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.alternative-tourism.gr/en/journeys/205-cultural-archaeological-tourism/850-nafplio-argolida-the-ultimate-spring-destination | 2020-08-11T22:49:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738855.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811205740-20200811235740-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.951535 | 1,246 | [

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO— More than 20 water safety and competitive water sports organizations today launched the Aquatics Coalition (www.Aquatics-Coalition.org) to help guide states and municipalities across the country in reopening swimming facilities for instructional aquatics in the safest possible manner.
The Coalition, comprised of organizations spanning from learn-to-swim programs, health and rehabilitation groups to competitive aquatics organizations, is advocating for the safe reopening of facilities for purpose-driven aquatics, including using pools for swim lessons, exercise, rehabilitation, and athletic training. The Coalition has developed best practices based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health experts who discovered that chlorine and bromine inactivate the novel coronavirus and has not found evidence the virus can be spread through pools.
The Coalition has also shared its best practices with the National Governors Association, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, and the National Association of County and City Health Officials in an effort to encourage other states to re-open swimming facilities.
“We applaud the public health professionals and policymakers on the front lines of combating transmission of COVID-19 and we understand that their jobs are incredibly difficult, so we want to help be part of the solution,” said Shana Ferguson, Chief Commercial Officer of USA Swimming and former collegiate swimmer at the United States Naval Academy. “The Aquatics Coalition is bringing together some of the best minds in water sports to identify and share best practices to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission in natatoriums and outdoor venues, while allowing a safer, phased re-entry into the pool.”
By implementing the Coalition’s suggested guidelines, pool facilities can help speed the return of purpose-driven
aquatics to the benefit of a community’s overall health, while helping to reduce drowning rates for children ages one to four, who are at the greatest risk of drowning in backyard pools.
“Swim lessons are vital to ensuring that children remain safe in the water and to reducing drowning rates, particularly since unintentional drowning is the second leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. Of particular concern is the fact that Black children are 4 times more likely to drown compared to their white counterparts in the United States and Hispanic and Latinx children are 3 times more likely to drown. While many of us in the aquatics community are working to address historically unjust systems that have created a lack of access to safe water and swim instruction for Black Americans, we welcome an opportunity to be back in the pool so we can advance our mission to create equity, access and enjoyment both around and outside the water,” said Megan Ferraro, executive director of the ZAC Foundation.
“Aquatics-based exercise and rehabilitation programs have proven to be important contributors for both mental and physical health,” said Rowdy Gaines, three-time Olympic gold medalist and International Swimming Hall of Fame member. “We want to ensure that individuals who need pools to improve their health and well-being are able to access them in the safest manner as soon as possible.”
The Aquatics Coalition and its members are poised to work collaboratively with state and local officials, to find
solutions to restart purpose-driven swimming. | <urn:uuid:77f2bf47-0022-4406-a93d-20cce222dd55> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Artistic-Swimming/Features/2020/June/22/National-Aquatics-Groups-Form-Coalition-to-Help-Get-More-People-in-the-Water-Safer-Sooner | 2020-08-11T21:38:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738855.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811205740-20200811235740-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.951572 | 706 | [

As you start writing your paper, then consider your subject and decide on how you’re going to explain your subject. This portion of writers-house.com the process can be somewhat tricky. You may want to write on your topic in a few paragraphs, or maybe only 1 paragraph in the most. Before starting writing, you should also consider how you are going to get out your information.

If you don’t have one or more of these steps at the moment, do not worry – you may finally. The major thing that you will need to remember is that it is OK to jump a step here and there, just so long as you see that the objective of completing the paper remains the same.
Once you have settled on your own steps, then you may write your own paper. You should always use a pen and paper and program your paper according to the length of this paper. While you might be tempted to get beforehand, you should try to not.
On the topic of aims, when you get started writing your research paper, make sure you have a deadline on it. This is essential, because you might find yourself losing attention, and this is sometimes exceedingly tough to reverse.
Whenever you have the time, you can divide the paper right into chunks of period – meaning, you might have an informative section, a chapter section, etc.. This is quite useful, as you’ll be able to control the quantity of information you include.
Be sure that as soon as you are composing your research paper, then you are composing it with the intent of actually passing this course. This usually means that you need to be aware of what your objective is, as well as why you ought to be doing it. | <urn:uuid:7ca38f3d-810c-4666-8cc6-9b983d56864d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://cabcofi.com/2020/07/24/how-to-finish-your-research-paper/ | 2020-08-13T10:56:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738982.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813103121-20200813133121-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.975538 | 562 | [

Ichiro Suzuki didn’t handle his pinstriped debut as smoothly as you would have expected, so much so that he was analyzing his performance afterward.
Stupid Roll Call.
“For me, I wanted to obviously take my hat off and acknowledge them, kind of bow down,” Ichiro said (through his interpreter Allen Turner) last night of the Yankee Stadium Bleacher Creatures. “It is during play. I was kind of worried about that. It worked out.
“If there was a ball hit right when I’m bowing down, then those cheers are going to be turning to boos.”
Aside from the Stadium first-inning tradition, though, Ichiro — who tipped his cap but didn’t bow — seemed just fine. The Yankees pounded the rival Red Sox 10-3, their sixth victory in seven tries against Boston this season, and Ichiro, starting in right field, contributed a single while scoring two runs.
Said Ichiro: “It has been a while since I’ve had these types of experiences.”
He’s had them, though, and really, the concerns about the Yankees’ latest high-profile acquisition are flipped from the standard narrative. The team has no doubt Ichiro can handle the spotlight and the pressure of a pennant race in the Bronx. Yet it’s fair to wonder whether he can help the team as an everyday player.
“This guy’s been through a lot in his career,” manager Joe Girardi said before the game. “You think about the expectations, the media coverage that has surrounded him. The ability that he has. I think we’re pretty confident that New York is not going to be anything too big for him. And that’s comforting.”
“I think world-class athletes usually perform in a world-class fashion,” said Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine, who managed the Chiba Lotte Marines against Ichiro’s Orix Blue Wave in 1994. “He’s one of those guys. I think he’s going to be revved up.”
That’s the theory on which the Yankees are banking: Ignore the statistics Ichiro has tallied in the past season and a half. They’re dreadful.
Yes, the speed and defense are still assets, yet you can’t show off those terrific baserunning skills unless you actually, well, get on base. Entering last night’s action, Ichiro’s .289 on-base percentage ranked as the 10th worst (71st overall) in the AL among qualified hitters.
The hope is, newly motivated by a pennant race, someone approaching the Ichiro of old will re-emerge. As opposed to the current, old Ichiro. After four games with the Yankees, he has a .294 OBP, a tiny improvement from his overall number but still worst among all Yankees regulars.
Ichiro disagreed that playing for a contending team would lead to a renaissance.
“Even when I was on a team that wasn’t winning, there were no letdowns, ever,” he said. “I kept my motivation high. I look at this opportunity in this pennant race with the same approach as I have done in the past.”
The issue Girardi will have to monitor is whether the Yankees overcompensated for their concern over Brett Gardner’s season-ending right elbow surgery. Left field wasn’t a Yankees liability, not with Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones performing capably in a platoon and, consequently, Girardi finding time for his veterans at designated hitter because Ibanez and Jones were playing the field.
The concern arose because of Ibanez’s and Jones’ age (40 and 35, respectively) and their excessive playing time. However, if Ichiro winds up duplicating what he gave the Mariners offensively, that could stand out as a problem.
Ichiro has been nearly everywhere and done nearly everything. Now comes his chance to play in and win a World Series.
“My first game here in Yankee Stadium was against the Boston Red Sox,” Ichiro said. “In Japan, you say you twist your cheek to see if it’s real or not, if I’m not dreaming. That’s really how I feel.”
We know he’s ready and willing to help his new team. We’ll find out, over these next couple of months, whether he’s able. | <urn:uuid:91f46771-fde3-48c3-aa75-a78145b3c3b8> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://nypost.com/2012/07/28/ichiro-has-the-will-but-may-lack-the-ability-to-help-yankees-now/ | 2020-08-13T13:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738982.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813103121-20200813133121-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.975454 | 979 | [

Hi there again. I’m still trading, but have not posted a blog post since 2011!
Since then, some things have changed, and some have not.
I still consider every option trade a trade in volatility. I still do most of the old strategies that I used to do, but have added on some more.
I’ve archived all of my old posts and plan on posting regularly again. I’ll summarize my trading briefly here:
I started trading covered calls in 2003 when my friend Joseph told me about them. He came into my office and briefly explained his covered call strategy. I bought my first book on options trading from Amazon and read it immediately. I started selling calls against my long stock positions. I then read McMillan cover to cover twice, and then Natenberg. I then started trading options in many different strategies. I have read so many more books since then. The first two years were challenging with some wins but overall losses. Since 2004 I’ve doubled my initial trading account 2.5 times to date, 15 years later.
My philosophy; also what I call “my edge”:
I trade around the four things that I believe that I know to be true, and do not predict market direction (mostly)
- “Volatility is mean reverting”. When it’s high, it eventually goes down. When it’s low, it eventually goes back up. I use the ‘percentile of trailing 12 month implied volatility” to make these predictions. I buy IV when it’s below 20th percentile of trailing 12 months. IE: when it has been higher 80 percent of the time over the past 12 months. I sell volatility when it’s at least over the 50th percentile, but preferably when it’s in the 80th percentile or greater. I do this mostly on indices and ETFs to avoid ‘headline risk’.
- “Over long periods of time, markets tend to go up”. Over all periods of history (so far, to date), the stock market indices go up to new highs, always….!
- “Markets go up and down and not only in one direction”. Stocks and markets have up days, and they have down days along their course of the previous belief of ascending markets over long periods of time. This also applies to longer time frames than days. Weeks, months, etc.
- “Time goes on”. This one seems pretty simple. There is nothing we can do about this one. The calendar goes on, hour by hour, day by day and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
So, taking these 4 truths into account: 1) I trade volatility to be mean reverting, selling high IV, buying low IV. 2) I take a long term outlook of a positive delta over long periods of time. 3) I scalp gamma and delta hedge positions to take advantage of up and down fluctuation. 4) I’m positive theta on many positions to take advantage of time decay.
If the above appeal to you as an option trader, please bookmark this site. My intention is to launch a podcast to discuss my strategy and discuss individual trades, and use this blog as an adjunct to encourage discussion through comments and spread my philosophy. I want to help all of you readers that have the same love and enthusiasm for derivatives trading that I do! I would also use the comments and a Facebook group to learn form the many smart people out there. Oh, and why not try to monetize both the blog and the podcast by selling advertising! I hope you’ll come back soon.

It is always hard to get up in winter time, that is one of the reasons we need an effective alarm clock. While ago, we featured 10 interesting alarm clocks which share one common feature: difficult to turn off the alarm. You either need to solve a puzzle or fire the laser directly into the clock’s target, otherwise, your alarm clock will keep making noise. Today, we have a similar design but going even further.
The iQ Alarm clock has no snooze button so instead, challenges you with brain teasers to shut the damn thing off! You can set the alarm to incessantly ring until you answer anywhere from 1-3 questions. What’s really clever is the clock has a hard-to-open battery compartment so to power it off you need to press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Like the designer puts it, “This is an alarm you will love to hate.” [source] | <urn:uuid:52704f83-4300-4f02-935c-d827ddaf6186> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.designswan.com/archives/iq-alarm-clock-morning-brain-teasers.html | 2020-08-15T02:16:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740423.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815005453-20200815035453-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.950807 | 195 | [

Place ice in blender and pulse several times, to begin breaking it up. Add raspberries, club soda, lemonade mix, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and tequila and blend until thick and smooth, about 30 seconds.
Pour 1 tablespoon or so of lemon juice into a small saucer. In another saucer, pour a thin layer of salt (table salt, or kosher is even better). Dip the rims of the glassed in the lemon juice, then the salt. Pour frozen mix into salted glass and serve. | <urn:uuid:6ad646d6-36f7-4a4a-80b2-13d1e11161b1> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ingrid-hoffmann/raspberry-lemon-margarita-recipe-1949937 | 2020-08-15T02:26:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740423.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815005453-20200815035453-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.873851 | 110 | [

Hello, dear sweet people. 💘Mandy here. I know we're all going through a lot right now. I wanted to share what this experience has been like for me in hopes of reminding you that you are not alone in your feelings.
Obviously, we are all dealing with a lot of uncertainties right now which can be so overwhelming and anxiety-producing.
For myself, my comfort zone is problem-solving. So when SF went into lockdown, it didn't scare me or slow me down...or so I thought.
After a month without a day off, doing everything in my power to create a sense of normalcy and structure for everyone around me, my body shut down from not dealing with the reality of what our world has become. I was ignoring the fear and anxiety building inside until I no longer could. Just before my birthday, my body manifested those feelings into a massive week-long panic attack, that I haven't completely shaken, though I'm feeling 10x better. Since then I've been resetting my thoughts and focusing on the things that bring me joy and laughter. Like listening to music that makes me feel alive, dancing like a fool around my house, cooking, tending to my plants, sleeping well, watching only things that make me smile, being active in any way feasible and being appreciative of kindness and patience from people.
If you're like me and feeling anything close to this, I want to encourage you to give yourself a mental break from social media and news. To focus on the good that still exists around us. All of the amazing people working so hard to push us through this time that we will get past.
Whether this event has flipped your world upside-down or only minorly changed it, it's still very shocking to the system. So take care of yourself in any way that feels good. Give yourself a facial, take a long hot bath, watch your favorite movie on repeat, snuggle with your favorite person, animal or thing, talk to someone or meditate. And keep sending love to everyone around you. It's not only good for them, it's good for you.
Thank you to everyone for all your support of WB. Looking forward to seeing you in the bakery again.

By compairson to last week’s post and the scale of the embroideries that we produced for the patches, this little job may seem insignificant. However we can’t help but get excited about pieces like this whether we are producing 2 pieces or 200 of them in the end.
We were approached and asked to use this tudor rose image to create a pair of freestanding embroidered embelums to go onto a bespoke cape which one of our tailors was working on. By adding raisings into the piece we were able to give the piece some body despite the fact that they are not onto a fabric base.
You can see from the scale of the hand just how little they really are.
Here they are in situ where they will get to live against this gorgeous velvet collar. Aren’t they just so cute?!? | <urn:uuid:77ed182e-d2eb-4986-aceb-26f09828cd30> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.londonhandembroidery.com/tag/freestanding/ | 2020-08-05T04:33:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735909.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805035535-20200805065535-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.968033 | 179 | [

When one is trying to follow God’s commands and live a righteous life, they can still be tempted and sometimes fall into Satan’s trap of not loving—and even looking down upon– those who lack the grace needed to live God’s Word.It was Easter Sunday, and I was sitting outside of the church praying when some of the people who frequently help out at Mass arrived early. I overheard one of them say in a condescending tone, “Oh the CEO’s are coming today.”(CEO-Christmas and Easter Only). Then one of the others began to mock and belittle the very people we’re supposed to love and bring into the Church. Sadly, the overall tone of the priest’s homily was neither warm nor inviting. He even made an insulting comment—in a joking way—towards the people who didn’t regularly attend. I sat in my pew thinking, “Gee that isn’t nice. I wouldn’t want to come back to such an unloving church.”Of course, it can feel frustrating to see so many Catholics in our community who aren’t obeying God’s command of attending Mass every Sunday. They are suffering from mortal sin and most don’t even know it. However, rather than being frustrated, it should instead bring our hearts to deep sadness knowing that so many of God’s children are suffering from sin, don’t have a true relationship with God, and are lacking the very graces they need to live a life according to God’s priorities. These poor souls are missing the great joy that can only be found through the blessings that God’s grace delivers through the sacraments and when we obey His commands.
We should respond to these lost people with much joy — a great welcoming — as well as with the genuine love of Christ pouring out of us for at least seeing them during Easter and Christmas. Then perhaps that joy from our welcoming could soften their hearts and nudge them to find the Lord who is calling them to Him. People respond mostly with anger towards the “guilt or chastisement” form of inspiring change. It is true some people can be guilted into change, but the majority will gravitate towards transformation from people and a Church that is loving, accepting and welcoming.
Now, with that said, it is easy to take loving, accepting and welcoming to an extreme and avoid any messages of truth that someone “might think” aren’t loving, accepting or welcoming, which makes the Church more of a clubhouse of companionship rather than a house of God used to transform souls. The entire Bible — every single passage, including the ones telling us what sins cast us into Hell— is a message of love, when they are delivered in a tone of love and not one of condemnation. These messages from God —-delivered with love—- are what the people are truly craving. Their hearts know the difference and will gravitate towards the whole truth. It is true some people will be offended by the truth, but that never stopped Jesus and shouldn’t stop us. Most people are searching for the truth, since the truth is truly what loves, transforms and saves them, which brings about the joy everyone is searching for. | <urn:uuid:8210386e-160f-4f6e-af8a-8c44e1194708> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.sacramentofreconciliation.com/what-not-to-do/ | 2020-08-05T05:45:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735909.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805035535-20200805065535-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.967587 | 689 | [

Most of us are aware of the plethora of “Brown buzzwords” that circulate on campus. They’re words that are perhaps used more frequently here than at our friends’ schools: hegemony, discourse, unpacking, spectrum, and social construct, to name just a few. Not only do they set us apart from other schools, but they make a wicked set of Halloween costumes, as we saw from this year’s costume contest.
One of the many words in the quintessential Brown vernacular is heteronormativity. Heteronormativity is the belief system that assumes heterosexuality to be the norm and rejects or ignores individuals or relationships that do not fall into the strict man-woman paradigm. It also, according to Karen Lovaas and Mercilee Jenkins in their comprehensive book Sexualities and Communication in Everyday Life: A Reader, assumes “that there are two sexes and therefore two genders” and therefore “requires that all discussions of gendered identity and opportunity be framed strictly in terms of this dichotomy” (98). We inclusive Brown students openly reject this notion.
But how inclusive are we as a whole? How much does each of us truly know about the LGBTQ community? Probably not as much as we think, considering that the acronym is much longer than that! The acronym, as I know it now, is LGBTQQIAAP2S. So click on the image of the Sporcle quiz below to test your knowledge of the entire acronym, and then read below for a description of each of the components!
Lesbian: The sexual or romantic attraction between two female-identified individuals.
Gay: Often used as an umbrella term for lesbians and gay men; in this case we are referring to the sexual or romantic attraction between to male-identified individuals.
Bisexual: The sexual or romantic attraction to both male- and female-identified individuals. Does not necessarily have to be in equal parts. A person may identify as bisexual but have a stronger preference for one of the genders.
Transgender: This tends to be one that’s often confused and misinterpreted. The term transgender does not refer exclusively to individuals whose gender identities do not match their assigned sexes at birth and to those who get hormonal treatments or surgery to help align the two (that’s transsexual). Transgender is an umbrella term that, according to the National Center for Transgender Equality, can be used to describe “people whose gender identity, expression or behavior is different from those typically associated with their assigned sex at birth, including but not limited to transsexuals, cross-dressers, androgynous people, genderqueers, and gender non-conforming people.” Some of these individuals feel that they don’t fit into the gender binary at all, but feel as though they’re part male/part female or neither (genderqueer). The opposite of transgender is cisgender, or the alignment of one’s self-perceived gender identity and their assigned sex at birth.
Queer: This is another umbrella term that encompasses all of those who don’t fit into the boxes of heterosexuality and the gender binary. It’s a controversial term—it has recently been reclaimed by the LGBT community as a positive descriptor, but was formerly used as a form of hate speech. So be careful about your use of this term, as people of older generations may be sensitive to it.
Questioning: Those who aren’t quite sure where they lie on the sexual orientation, or the gender identity and expression spectrum. These folks are still working it out, so it’s best not to assume or draw unnecessary conclusions about where they stand.
Intersex: According to the Intersex Society of North America, intersex “is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male.” This includes any number of conditions, such as external male organs but internal female organs (or vice versa), or genitals that are in between what is considered to be male and female. This is not the same as a hermaphrodite, a damaging and inappropriate descriptor.
Asexual: Individuals who do not experience sexual attraction. This doesn’t mean that they do not feel emotions nor romantic connections with others…nor does it mean that they are incapable of feeling arousal—it’s that they don’t feel a desire to engage sexually with a partner.
Ally: Traditionally thought of as heterosexual or cisgender individuals who support the aims of the LGBTQ community (namely those of equality and civil rights) and actively fight homophobia and transphobia. However, an ally does not only have to refer to heterosexual and cisgender individuals. Therefore, gays and lesbians can act as great allies to transgendered people!
Pansexual: Pansexual individuals may be emotionally and sexually attracted to individuals regardless of their biological sexes and gender identities. Therefore, they may be attracted to males, females, trans people, intersex people, and so on. Like bisexual people, they may have a preference, but are open to all, regardless of their place on the gender spectrum. Oftentimes they view their sexualities as being related to the personality of the person they are attracted to regardless of his/her gender.
Two-Spirit: Perhaps the least well-known of the acronym, the term two-spirit refers to a “third gender” present in many Native American and Canadian First Nation tribes. These individuals possess both female and male qualities and often dress in a combination of the two genders’ traditional clothing. Two-spirited individuals were often viewed as shamans, medicinal or spiritual leaders, and do not identify as specifically heterosexual or homosexual. Two-spirits have been identified in over 130 Native American tribes in every region of North America. So now you know!
There you have it, folks! Now you’re all a bit more well-versed in the LGBTQQIAAP2S language. If you have any questions about anything I’ve talked about (or are curious about some more of the identifiers that I have not mentioned, such as polysexual, androphilia, gynephilia) email me at [email protected].

Researchers Demonstrate New Cloud Snooper Attack That Bypasses Firewall Security Measures
- The attack can allow malware on servers to communicate freely with its command and control servers through firewalls.
- The inbound traffic to the target server is intercepted using a specially-crafted request designed to download a backdoor trojan.
A sophisticated attack that uses a unique combination of techniques to allow malware to gain persistence on servers has been reported by researchers. Named as Cloud Snooper, the attack can also allow malware on infected servers to communicate freely with its command and control servers through firewalls.
Important ingredients of the attack
The TTPs used in the attack include:
- A rootkit to circumvent firewalls and to inspect network;
- A rare technique to gain access to servers disguised as normal traffic;
- A backdoor payload that shares malicious code between both Windows and Linux operating systems.
The inbound traffic to the target server is intercepted using a specially-crafted request designed to download a backdoor trojan. The researchers noted that attackers can use the backdoor to steal sensitive data from the target.
“The collected data is then delivered back with the C2 traffic. Only this time, the rootkit has to masquerade it again in order to bypass the guards: the wolf dresses itself in sheep’s clothing once again. Once outside, the C2 traffic delivers the collected data back to the attackers,” added researchers.
SophosLabs researchers note that the case is extremely interesting as it demonstrates the true multi-platform nature of a modern attack. Hence, IT security teams should need to build the security of their critical infrastructure to protect against multi-platform attacks. | <urn:uuid:44aba28a-b438-46f9-abc2-cb1fde1dfb33> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://cyware.com/news/researchers-demonstrate-new-cloud-snooper-attack-that-bypasses-firewall-security-measures-0a6a4d3e | 2020-08-08T12:57:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737645.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808110257-20200808140257-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.913691 | 346 | [

Exercise Physiology Consultant
Vince Tedjasuptra, Ph.D.
Dr. Vinny T is not only a consultant for The Fit Lab but a direct product of our customized exercise and nutrition method. He went from 246 lbs. to a low of 183 lbs., dropping his body fat percentage from 31% to 13%. He’s “regained strength, physical, and mental health. [His] work efficiency and self-confidence are at an all-time high!”
What We Do
Body Composition Analysis
Has been an amazing experience, both physically and mentally. Down over 10lbs in the first month. Facility is top notch and the expertise of the trainer, Sean, is second to none. The whole experience has been very personal and friendly and I highly recommend you to check them out. If you are reading this right now, stop, and call them and make an appointment.*
I completed the 3 months personal training program with Sean, and I am so happy about my body which has not happened in a very long time. Sean gave me a detailed exercise and nutrition plan based on fitness testing and hydrostatic dunk test which was easy to follow, and I was able to drop down 2 dress sizes without stressing out. Test results helped me keep focused on my goal and was such a great motivation.*
I came to The Fit Lab over a year ago because Sean was one of my best students when I taught Exercise Physiology lab at SDSU. Sean motivated me and planned actionable and realistic goals to put my knowledge into action and helped transform both my mind and body. This investment in my health and fitness gives me new found confidence as an athlete and scientist.*
Body Fat: 16% to 13%
Total Weight: 185 lbs to 183 lbs
Body Fat: 31% to 19%
Total Weight: 130 lbs to 123 lbs
Body Fat: 24% to 10%
Total Weight: 194 lbs to 172 lbs
Body Fat: 31% to 14％
Total Weight: 223 lbs to 189 lbs
I lost over 26 lbs of fat, and went from a body fat percentage of 34% to 17%!!! Sean trained me. He was super knowledgeable about everything – effective workouts, proper form, and human physiology and anatomy. He helped me when I was at my worst (when I could barely sprint 100 feet or do box jumps) and I am more than grateful for his help.*
I have had the pleasure of training with Sean for some time now at The Lab. Now, I am in the best shape of my life. I weigh less than I did as a teenager in high school, and I catch myself wondering why I never made this commitment before because I feel GREAT! He put me on a simple and sensible eating plan and helps me tweak it as necessary.*
I went from 160 lbs to 142 lbs in less than 30 days! Sean is an amazing personal trainer who takes the time and energy to educate his clients about proper body mechanics, nutrition, and life balance.*
I went from 27% to 15% body fat percentage. I lost over 20 lbs of fat!*
I lost 50 lbs working with Sean! My knees would hurt every time I took a step. Sean helped me work on my biomechanics and range of motion to not only decrease the pain but get me out and be active to do what I love!* | <urn:uuid:c4a64917-1eed-4a74-b141-0a65cc965e10> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://thefitlabsd.com/ | 2020-08-08T11:16:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737645.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808110257-20200808140257-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.964572 | 821 | [

Sticky Fingers have responded to claims their singer racially taunted an Indigenous band at a Sydney gig last month.
The guitarist for local act DISPOSSESSED took to Facebook the night after the show at Marrickville’s Red Rattler to accuse StiFi frontman Dylan Frost of hurling racially-charged abuse at them during the show.
“I am not a monkey to play on command and we walked off stage when the lead singer of Sticky Fingers among many others began grossly shirt fronting us…” Birrugan Dunn-Velasco said.
However, speaking to The Music, fellow StiFi members Paddy Cornwall and Seamus Coyle claimed the whole thing was just a “massive misunderstanding”.
“Basically Dylan was at the show and there was a speech being made,” Cornwall explained. “There were a few words being thrown around the room. Dylan yelled out ‘Fuck Pauline Hanson’ and he’s admitted that, you know, it was like not really his place to, sort of, yell out something and he’s apologised for it.
“But I think he was mistaken to say something else about maybe being pro-Pauline Hanson or something of the like.”
He added: “And Dylan also isn’t white. He’s actually a Maori, so it kinda doesn’t really make any sense. We’re not racists, basically. Us being accused of being racists is ridiculous.”
Dunn-Velasco’s initial Facebook post triggered a social media uproar, but StiFi say they intentionally didn’t respond to comments on their own page to avoid stoking the fire.
“…We don’t wanna give the actual dickheads and racist idiots of this country a platform in which they don’t deserve to say and do horrible things,” Cornwall said.
“Once again, hate only breeds hate. And yeah, we actually stand with the DISPOSSESSED crew and what they’re about. I dunno, we didn’t really feel like them character assassinating not just Dylan, but the entire band, was really fair.”
The bassist added that Sticky Fingers are close with the family of famous Aboriginal activist Charlie Perkins, who advised them to not make a statement on the alleged incident and instead attempt to contact DISPOSSESSED privately, which they did, but have yet to receive a response.
“You’d have to ask Dylan about it, he wrote the apology letter to [guitarist] Serwah [Attafuah],” Cornwall says. “I’ve also reached out to Birrugan but haven’t heard back.”
“Since [DISPOSSESSED] haven’t really gotten back to us we’re still trying to arrange to meet up with them and, sort of, settle it peacefully, rather than just create some bullshit hype crap on the internet.”

The cost of this aubotiography of malcolm x is $334, including shipping and <a target="new" href="http://www.donorschoose.org/html/fulfillment.htm" onclick="g_openWindow('http://www.donorschoose.org/html/fulfillment.htm', 300, 800, 'fulfillwindow');return false;">fulfillment</a>.
The Autobiography of Malcolm X will be the fourth class novel that we will read in my 7th grade English classroom this year. It will be the first piece of "real" literature that we read. It is a book that will move my students from the more comfortable themes of teen issues and growing up to the more challenging ones of race, identity, politics, and creating social change. Changing the world is perhaps the most important theme of my classroom. Although my school is in the middle of Harlem, only a few blocks west from New York's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and a few blocks north from the famous sidewalks of 125th street, rarely, if ever, are the topics of race, politics, or social change treated with any depth at my school. At a school where the energy that is not focused on test preparation goes into keeping order in the classrooms, there is simply not enough time. I will make The Autobiography of Malcolm X relevant to all of my students--the half that are Dominican and Puerto Rican as well as the half that are black. We will critically examine the choices Malcolm X made and the lifestyles he chose. We will also critically examine his thought (with an eye toward deconstruction). Where did he draw the line between challenging the racial status quo and simply promoting racism? Where should we? I am asking for a class set of the Autobiography of Malcolm X. It will stimulate and provoke my class this year and my classes in many years to come. Thank you.

Graduated 2013, Completed Courses In 2020: Inside Dobayou’s Academic Fraud
It is an internationally accepted standard that any student who is qualified for graduation must have completed all required courses for a degree. At the African Methodist Episcopal University (AMEU) on Camp Johnson Road, Monrovia, it seems different especially for students who would choose to circumvent the laid-down process through financial or political maneuvering. Randall Massaquoi Dobayou, the Deputy Executive Director of the Environmental Agency is a beneficiary of this spoiled system at AMEU – an institution, that until now, many people saw as reputable.
By Melvin Caesar, Contributing Writer
In his resume submitted to the vetting committee for the position he presently holds, Dobayou stated that he graduated from the AMEU in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Political Science and a postgraduate student at Alabama State University in the United States. When investigation ensued over the veracity of this information given the fact that he was expelled from the university in 2012 for unruly behavior that violated provision of the University students’ handbook, Dobayou, in a live radio interview on April 2020, said he did not complete his courses for graduation until 2020 and he was issued academic transcript and a letter of attestation to pursue postgraduate studies in the United States at Clark University.
“I did not graduate in 2013 because I was expelled. So, I got an opportunity to go to the United States. But, the school called me and gave me my transcript and letter of attestation because I wanted to pursue a postgraduate studies in the United States,” Dobayou said on Spoon FM and during a live press conference at his office.
Since the revelation about the dubious way in which Dobayou got his credentials from the school, there has been internal wrangling among senior leadership of the school with Mr. Benjamin Everett, Assistant Registrar on one hand, the Dean of Admission on another, and the Acting President, Mr. Alvin Attah placing icing on the imbroglio through a press release.
Mr. Everett told newsmen that Dobayou did not graduate from the university as indicated in his résumé submitted to the vetting committee that interviewed him for the Deputy EPA Executive Director’ post. “If you look at the documents he is talking about, it is indicated that he did not graduate,” the Assistant Registrar disclosed.
The ink did not dry on Everett’s disclosure when the Acting President of the University, Attah issued a press release on April 30, 2020, distancing the University from Everett’s Statement to the public on grounds that the Assistant Registrar was not authorized to speak on behalf of the University. He did not however deny the information provided but announced an internal investigation into how the information got out against the decision of the school’s leadership to keep Dobayou’s deal “confidential”. Mrs. Mercy Herron added ” Dobayou is one of us. So, we took a decision to protect him. We cannot disclose his information without his written consent. We don’t see this as dragging our institution’s reputation in the mud” despite the surreptitious manner in which the documents were acquired. Mrs. Herron said that Dobayou’s decision to announce certain numbers was political; she does not know whose number it is.
As the situation hovers around the Deputy Executive Director of EPA, sources have hinted that Dobayou is not the first beneficiary to have gotten credentials from AMEU through either financial or political means. “It is sad that an institution that boasts through its motto ” in pursuit of excellence ” would choose to market credentials that other students are struggling to acquire,” a member of the senior staff who begged not to be named for fear of reprisals indicated.
More to that, there are several integral issues to consider that further expose the dubious ways in which the EPA’ DED completed his courses:
1. Randall Dobayou was expelled in 2012 for leading a violent protest against President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf when she visited AMEU. It is untrue, according to our investigation, the student who was not qualified for graduation formed part of the graduating class activities to serve as secretary of the souvenir committee.
2. “Dobayou’s expulsion has not been reconsidered by the African Methodist Episcopal University (AMEU) up to the time he returned from the United States in 2018, and he did not attend classes, since, to do his remaining courses but paid a lower level staff in the office of admissions at the AMEU to acquire an ID number that he mentioned during a press conference at his office. Dobayou paid a handsome fee to be considered for the 2020 graduation,” a source said. The agreement, investigation established, is that he should visit the school’s campus frequently to create a fake impression that he has been going to attend classes so that the students would not notice.
3. In an error proned letter of attestation published on his Facebook page, it is stated that he was a good student and member of the 2013 graduating class activities as secretary of souvenir committee. How did the AMEU University which expelled Dobayou for unruly behavior vouch that he is a good student without a redress? Where, in the world of academia, can a letter of attestation state that a student’s role in a graduating class’ activities as justification that he holds a degree? The letter did not say he completed his courses or even indicated his ID number.
He is doing everything to fit with the qualification requirements of the position he occupies which is meant for someone with a minimum master’s degree as indicated the terms of reference of the Deputy Executive Director post at the EPA.
A highly placed source close to the vetting committee averred that Dobayou’s only experience is placard carrying, air-conditioner repairer, and a high school teaching assistant at the Cathedral Catholic School in Monrovia. So, it is obvious that the Deputy Executive Director at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Randall Dobayou would go at every length to forge his academic papers solely to paint a picture that he is qualified to sit in the position he presently occupies. “Anything short of that would turn to a beggar,” the source added.
As evidence of his desperation, Dobayou has hired thugs to physically attack anyone who exposes the deceptive manner in which he cajoled the vetting committee to get the position he is enjoying now. Media practitioners suspected of investigating the fraudulent academic credentials are receiving threatening text messages from hired criminals. Some of them had gone as far as issuing these same death threats in live Facebook videos. | <urn:uuid:a31b0316-ff14-475a-99f6-63856cf5fa45> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://frontpageafricaonline.com/opinion/graduated-2013-completed-courses-in-2020-inside-dobayous-academic-fraud/ | 2020-08-12T02:08:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738858.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811235207-20200812025207-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.978023 | 1,399 | [

LockDown Browser: The Student Experience
Posted by Respondus Support
The following steps guide a student through the process of using LockDown Browser (and a webcam, if required) to take an online test.
1) Download & Install
Windows or Mac
The download page provides information on system requirements and a quick overview video. The installation is fast and easy, and only needs to be done once (per device). A link to a short video of the process is available here.
iPad / iOS
iPad users can install the LockDown Browser iPad app from the App Store. Instructions for using the iPad app can be found here. (Note that instructors will determine if iPad use is allowed in the LockDown Browser settings.)
2) Start the Browser
Once LockDown Browser has been installed, students should locate the “LockDown Browser” icon on their device and double-click it. (Windows users can find it on their desktop; Mac users can find it in their Applications folder.)
At start-up, LockDown Browser will automatically go to the login page for the institution’s learning management system. Students simply log in and navigate to the exam, just as they would in a regular browser.
If a student tries to access the exam using a standard browser, they will see a message indicating that they must instead use LockDown Browser.
Some learning systems require that students first open a standard browser, log in to the course, locate the exam, and then launch LockDown Browser. Students can then start the test. If a button like the one below displays when accessing a test in a standard browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), then LockDown Browser can be launched from there. (Note: learning systems use different labels for this button: Launch LockDown Browser, Launch Quiz, View Assessment, etc.)
3) Taking an Exam
Using a Webcam
If your exam requires the use of a webcam (sometimes referred to as Respondus Monitor), you’ll be guided through a brief set of screens prior to the start of the exam.
The first screen is a webcam check, where you can make sure the webcam is working properly. Additional steps may be required by your instructor, such as showing your identification, or recording a brief video of your examination setting.
Once the exam begins, a “Recording” icon will appear at the top right of the screen.
Do not attempt to exit the exam until you’re finished. Additionally, you won’t be able to print, copy, access other applications, or go to other websites during the exam.
When the exam is submitted for grading, the webcam will stop recording and you may exit LockDown Browser.
If a student needs to exit the exam before submitting it, for example in case of an emergency or internet failure, they are required to enter a reason for exiting the exam early. (Instructors can then view this within the LockDown Browser dashboard.)
Another helpful tool is the LockDown Browser Student Quick Start Guide. | <urn:uuid:64d3286c-86fb-453f-8581-5599897e64eb> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://support.respondus.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/554/0/lockdown-browser-the-student-experience | 2020-08-12T00:54:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738858.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811235207-20200812025207-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.881366 | 626 | [

Matt Clifford is CEO and co-founder of Entrepreneur First. After graduating from Cambridge, he earned an MSc at MIT. After two years in consultancy with McKinsey and Company, he left in 2011 to co-found Entrepreneur First with Alice Bentinck. Matt is the co-founder and Executive Director of Code First: Girls, a not for profit that trains over 2,000 women to code each semester. Matt serves as a board member at Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, and the Kennedy Memorial Trust.
1. What is Entrepreneur First?
Entrepreneur First is the world’s leading talent investor. We invest time and money in the world’s most talented and ambitious individuals, helping them to find a co-founder, develop an idea, and start a technology company. So far, we’ve helped 2,000+ people create 300+ companies, worth a combined $2bn.
2. How did you come up with the idea of Entrepreneur First?
My co-founder, Alice Bentinck, and I started with this idea that it really matters what the most ambitious people do with their lives. We felt that far too much human potential was being wasted in traditional careers, and jobs that constrained and restricted people. This, coupled with a belief that the world is missing out on some of its best founders, is what led to us building Entrepreneur First. Since founding EF, we’ve become obsessed with helping the world’s most talented people maximise their impact – and we believe entrepreneurship offers the best opportunity to do just that.
3. What is Code First Girls and how important is it?
Almost every modern business has a digital component – whether that’s a simple website or an intricate back-end system. Whatever your career is, it’s a key skill to learn. Alice and I co-founded Code First: Girls to give more people the opportunity to learn to code, and to help increase the number of women in tech.
4. What characteristics make a great entrepreneur?
I totally reject the idea that people are born great entrepreneurs. Of course, there are certain skills and traits that make people stronger founders, but this is true for any other high impact career, like law or medicine. I think the culture you’re embedded into has a huge impact on your success, and on whether you’ll even consider entrepreneurship in the first place. Silicon Valley isn’t full of great founders because there’s something in the gene pool there – it’s just that it’s the one place in the world where entrepreneurship is the most socially approved thing to do with your life. With Entrepreneur First, we’re creating these pockets of Silicon Valley culture in cities around the world, and we’ve already seen how that can lead to many great founders.
5. In which ways can we get young boys and girls into coding and how valuable of a skill is it?
I think the earlier we can get young people into coding, the better. Coding is often described as the language of the modern age or a kind of digital literacy, so it’s a fundamental skill to learn. Even if you don’t intend to become a programming expert, coding can give you a strong basis for understanding how the technology works. There are a lot of online resources available to help young people get started, or of course, they could apply for a course at Code First: Girls!
6. What advice would you give to young budding entrepreneurs?
The size of your ambition is what matters most – your ambition will be what drives you forward, so keep this front of mind. I think it’s important to try things and start experimenting as much as you can. The people around you will also be a huge part of your success, so surround yourself with other smart and talented individuals, and you’ll be heading in the right direction.

February’s Colleague of the Month
We’re pretty sure they’re not just in it for the champagne, but we certainly do have an copious supply of talent when it comes to quality staff who qualify for shentongroup’s Colleague of the Month. But the accolade can’t go to everyone; the winner has to be selected through a rigorous colleague voting process. The clue is in the title, after all.
So throughout February, shentongroup team members considered who shone the brightest in their efforts to help their colleagues deliver best-in-industry continuous power solutions to our clients. For always conveying a happy persona, a positive attitude and always striving to help others, February’s shentongroup Colleague of the Month is Terry Catlin.
Three cheers for Terry! However, Terry’s victory comes with, not only £150 worth of vouchers and a bottle of champagne, but a degree of irony too, as Terry’s dedicated Colleague of the Month parking space will not be accessible to him, thanks to Terry having no choice but to temporarily block it with a standby generator. He’ll simply have to park amongst the rest of us mere non-Colleague-of-the-Month average Joe’s.
But seriously; Terry, you’re a bonus to our team. Congratulations and thanks for your hard work!

Warlock Feminised Seeds Info
Although indica dominant, this plant really combines some of the best Indica and Sativa characteristics. Short and bushy during veg. but grows huge compact buds with few leaves in flowering. Few medium sized leaves with a massive amount of flowers make it easy to manicure. The clear white pistils change to a tan/pinkish colour when ripe. Strong sweet smell with a tinge of sour, reminds of fresh fruits. The effect is a strong high, more felt in the head than in the body. | <urn:uuid:c0c9f21f-3d0c-4c10-af0d-a023cebf577c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://herbiesheadshop.com/cannabis-seeds/warlock | 2020-08-05T11:12:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735939.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805094821-20200805124821-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.961362 | 393 | [

In the last few weeks, thousands of migrants and refugees, predominantly from civil war-torn Syria, have made their way though Greece, Serbia, Hungary and Austria with one purpose: to settle in Germany. While each European country has taken its own approach to the emerging humanitarian crisis, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán acted quickly to turn public opinion totally against the refugees who chose to travel through Hungary towards Germany. Now, it appears that your reputable advertising firm, the largest U.S. advertising agency with a long and illustrious past, is poised to become an accessory to Hungary’s anti-immigration campaign abroad. The purpose of this letter is to make it clear to you that acting as Viktor Orbán’s voice in foreign countries would be very controversial and would, thus, damage your brand name.
From the beginning of 2015, the ruling Fidesz Party, firmly under the direction of Viktor Orbán, began what some would consider an incitement against immigrants in a way that gave permission to the proverbial average citizen in the street to manifest freely his or her baser human instincts about foreigners.
Mr. Orbán’s first formal move in this area was to launch his so-called National Consultation initiative in June 2015. The first round included the mailing out to the entire Hungarian population of a staunchly anti-immigrant letter by Orbán in which he pejoratively calls refugees “economic migrants” along with a questionnaire of twelve manipulative questions. Incidentally, only ten percent of the recipients bothered to respond.
Shortly after this colossal waste of public resources came a print advertising campaign. The large blue-and-white billboards placed throughout the country contained such grandiose proclamations as follows: “If you come to Hungary, you must respect our laws!”, “If you come to Hungary, you cannot take away the jobs of Hungarians!” and “If you come to Hungary, you have to respect our culture!” Since the messages on these billboards were all in Hungarian, it is clear that this whole campaign was intended for domestic consumption.
The campaign elicited mixed reactions. It aided in strengthening the more xenophobic elements in Hungarian society even as hilarious spoofs of these billboards went viral on Facebook. Any sense of hilarity evaporated, though, with the announcement that Hungary would build a barbed-wire fence along its border with Serbia. Since then, the suspiciously overpriced and surprisingly flimsy fence has been completed, and, just as quickly, breached.
Using the migrant crisis as a pretext, Fidesz legislators proposed a string of new laws effective September 15 that will result in the curtailment of individual rights by empowering the military to search the homes of individuals suspected of harbouring illegal immigrants without a warrant, stopping cars on public roads and the ability to deploy tear gas, rubber bullets, arrest nets and even firearms with deadly force if necessary against refugees.
At the same time, the Hungarian government has decided to spread its anti-immigrant campaign in Serbia, Macedonia and Greece. It is at this point that your reputable advertising firm enters the picture. A few days ago, it became clear that J. Walter Thompson’s Hungarian affiliate was selected for this purpose, shocking many in the advertising world.
Dr. Martinez! While it is not in your power to solve the refugee crisis by asking each EU country to take in its fair share of refugees as well as pressuring affluent Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia or Qatar to step up to the plate or orchestrating a satisfactory solution to the Syrian conflict, it is in your power to prevent the deterioration of your brand name’s reputation that will inevitably result from proceeding with this contract.
Major news outlets such as the BBC and NPR have already begun to devote significant space to this issue of Hungary’s treatment of war refugees and migrants and will continue to do so with increased attention. In the next few days, the focal point of news, Keleti Rail Station, will be emptied of migrants and refugees. They will reportedly be sent to the city of Debrecen and housed in refugee camps with no end in sight. Judging by the leading questions of the questionnaire, refugees will be responsible for their own expenses and may even be sent to work in Hungary’s workfare system.
Clearly, no reputable international advertising firm would want to become an accessory to spreading Hungary’s dual message of coded Islamophobia and its policy of turning away all war refugees from Syria or elsewhere. Signing a contract with a country that is moving away from a system of checks-and-balances towards what Viktor Orbán has called “illiberal democracy” may result in more costs than benefits for your company.
Considered from a moral point of view, anyone with a developed sense of empathy, especially people who consider themselves “global citizens”, can only find this one-size-fits all rejection of all immigration objectionable. According to some Hungarian news outlets, even some of JWT’s Hungarian employees have found their position morally untenable and are, thus, considering resignation.
The short and arguably cynical statement JWT Budapest’s Creative Director, Tamás Faragó, made in a Facebook reaction that was later republished with his permission may only help to push out some of JWT’s morally inclined creative staff. Faragó stated that “the campaign would be worth it if it prevented even one child from stabbing him or herself on top of the barbed-wire fence by knowing ahead of time what awaited him or her” (my translation).
Were JWT’s Hungarian affiliate to proceed with this assignment, you would have to look forward to designing a PR campaign in defence of your assent in participating in the PR campaign ordered by Hungary’s opportunistically nationalist government against refugees.
In light of all of the above, I ask you to reconsider and, ultimately, reject this deal.

Hmmmm. [Tapping finger on my chinny chin chin]. I look at the boy.
By Jove, I’ve got it!
Pain aux raisins is by far the most ambitious and one of those baking experience where you score a serious touch down when it comes out of the oven and into a salivating mouth. Did I have enough patience and gumption for the ever so fickle and demanding pâte feuilletée (puff pastry)? How is it physically possible to fold that much butter into flour!? [In my best dirty harry look, I throw some flour over my shoulders]. Bring it!
What I’ve learned: The first batch of pain aux raisins was very flaky and….dry like a palmier. The taste and the texture…pretty spot on but I didn’t allow enough time for the dough to proof before baking (it must double in size and especially with homemade yeast, you need to allow, ample, ample space and time for the yeast to do it’s thing). Also, I let the first batch bake for 45 minutes at 180 C / 360 F (which was much too, much time). So, note to self, allow the dough to proof (2-2/1/2 hrs…yes trust me) and use a higher temperature 190 C / 375 F for 25 - 30 mins (what worked for me was to cut the heat at around 25 mins, let sit in the oven for another 5; that did the trick).
The result…..oh la la la, oui, oui! Who needs a parisian bakery, when you can enjoy, these lovelies out of your own oven. Enjoy the recipe & pictures. May the butter gods be with you! Buen prochevo.
Pain Aux Raisins Recipe (16-18 lovely buns)
2 tablespoon of dry yeast
1/2 c of water
1/3 c + 2 c of flour
½ c of butter
1/3 c of sugar
2 tablespoons salt
¾ c milk
3 c butter
1 egg yolk for brushing
Creme Patisserie Recipe
1 c milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or a vanilla pod
1/4 c sugar
2 egg yolks
4 tablespoons flour
For the dough. Create the poolish or sponge. Whisk the yeast, water and 1/3 c flour. Pour the mixture inside a mixer (with a dough blade). Add remaining 2 cups of flour, salt, sugar and milk. Slowly add the ½ c butter.
When the butter is incorporated, remove the dough and let it rest for 1 hour. Punch the dough and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for another 2 hours.
On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a 10in x 12in rectangle. To fold the butter, visually section the rectangle into 3rds. Butter 2/3 of the rectangle, leaving an unbuttered flap at the top. Fold the unbuttered flap over the rectangle, then fold again, the remaining 3rd. You’ll now have a thin long rectangle. Roll out the sides of the dough to the original rectangle. Then fold again in 3rds, working from the width. Let the dough rest for another 2 hours. One last fold, then rest again in the fridge until it’s nice and cold.
For the pastry crème. Boil milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and reserve. In a bowl, whisk egg yolk. Gradually add flour and mix until the mixture smooth. Ladle in boiled milk to temper the eggs. Return the mixture to saucepan and cook over low heat. Add vanilla. Stir continuously until the mixture is thick and custardy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Final assembly. Roll out the chilled dough into a 10in x 12in rectangle. Spread the pastry crème. Add a good handful of raisins to cover the surface. Make sure to add raisins on the side of the dough. Roll into a log. Slice into 1 inch pieces. Place on an oiled tray pan. Allow the dough to proof in a warm place (oven with the light on) for another good 2-2 ½ hours or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F. Reduce the oven temperature to 190 C /375 F and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a deep golden brown. Let it rest for another 5 minutes in the pan before serving. | <urn:uuid:b1030aa2-75b3-4dfd-9f63-0d1ddb7e1b49> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.whiteshellgirl.com/2011/09/ | 2020-08-07T00:46:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737050.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807000315-20200807030315-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.892443 | 947 | [

The Morcai Battalion: Invictus is the third book in the Morcai Battalion series. I don’t normally start at the end of a series, but this one was given to me as a review copy and I couldn’t pass it up. Starting on book three of three was risky, but it did have the advantage of jumping right to the action. There were times when I knew there was history to the relationships between these characters that would have made my read of Invictus much richer, but the book was still a pleasure as a standalone. The main characters were so compelling that I now want to go back and read the earlier books.
The chemistry between Madeline and Dtimun really jumped off the page with a crack, sizzle, pop. Their love is a forbidden love and one they both deny, but the mission in front of them requires them to go behind enemy lines and the only way they’ll survive is to give into their need for each other, at least temporarily. Temporarily? Who do they think they’re kidding…besides themselves? I love these characters and the fascinating world the author has created for them.
What I liked about the heroine: Madeline was raised to be a soldier from the cradle then retrained to be a medical officer. She isn’t always comfortable with seeing herself in any capacity other than her military service. It makes her sweetly awkward at times. She is also very clearly deeply devoted to and in love with Dtimun.
What I liked about the hero: Dtimun is always keeping secrets, but one of his most important secrets, his true appearance, is held back from Madeline because he believes she will fear him and he can’t bear the thought of seeing that fear in her eyes. He is a very capable, authoritarian man used to being in command, but it is clear that his one vulnerability is Madeline.
Other cool stuff: Dtimun and Madeline are different species. The problems that creates for them as a couple are handled really well and are central to the story. Most of the really cool stuff I don’t want to mention because it might be a bit spoilery, but I guess I can say it has something to do with genetic engineering, prophecies, and families of all sorts. Oh and did I mention the talking tiger sized cat?
If you do want to try this series I’d suggest starting with the first or second book. If you’re like me and the romance is key, it looks like the romance really got started in book two.

Volunteering during the covid-19 pandemic:
We are taking individual volunteers and groups no more than 10 people. Please email Tyler Havens, Volunteer Manager, at [email protected] for details, answers to your questions, and to set up a time to volunteer. We appreciate our volunteers SO MUCH!
City Park is a New Orleans treasure. For more than 150 years, the park has served as a natural sanctuary for New Orleanians – a place to escape from city life without ever leaving home. With more than 1,300 acres, it is also one of the largest urban parks in the U.S.
But a great urban park doesn’t run itself. Our volunteers are essential to the day-to-day operation of City Park. When you volunteer your time as an individual or as part of a group, it is one of the most valuable contributions you can make to City Park, and you are building a better, stronger park for all of our visitors to enjoy.
Interested in volunteering? We have countless ways for you to get involved and help us get growing! Email Tyler Havens, Volunteer Manager, at [email protected].
Volunteers are invited to the Volunteer Center at 1009 Harrison Avenue on the first Saturday of every month, with occasional exceptions. Check City Park’s Twitter or Facebook and calendar pages for upcoming Super Saturday dates.
Work assignments include maintaining areas around City Park. Volunteer note: please dress appropriately. We recommend wearing a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent (the Park is home to more than just oak trees!). Also, we ask you to bring your own water and snacks.
School Service Hours
High school and college students are welcome to participate in Super Saturdays or to arrange service hours with our volunteer manager to meet school service hour requirements.
Volunteer Groups at City Park
Volunteering with a group means more than just good juju – it’s a great team building and bonding exercise for students or co-workers. Since 2005, more than 45,000 volunteers have given their time to City Park, which adds up to more than 200,000 hours the equivalent of approximately 100 full-time employees working one full year!
Volunteer groups are responsible for planting, painting, mulching, flowerbed maintenance, trail maintenance, wetland grass planting, shoreline maintenance, and stringing holiday lights for Celebration in the Oaks. Corporate groups typically donate $40-$60 per volunteer as a project supply fee.
City Park has worked with groups of 10 to 900 people at a time. A typical work session lasts three hours, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tools and safety equipment are provided, but we request that groups bring their own food and water. You may also arrange for box lunches and beverages through City Park catering.
Adopt an Area of City Park
Adopting an area of City Park is the gift that keeps on giving and a great way to take pride in the park. And, we’ll take your hard work or your hard-earned cash! Individuals and groups can “adopt” by providing ongoing maintenance of an area, or simply donating the funds required to keep an area maintained. The amount of maintenance required varies based on the needs of the adopted area. A sign of recognition may be posted after a commitment has been established.
Gardening at Botanical Garden
Volunteers pitch in with planting, weeding, trimming, pruning, deadheading, collecting cuttings for propagation, collecting seeds, removing or installing holiday lights, and other work as needed. If you sign up to volunteer, please bring gardening gloves, hand clippers, and a trowel. Come Friday morning between 9am and noon and work with LSU AgAgent Chris Dunaway. Master Gardeners and volunteers will work at a variety of gardening tasks maintaining the different gardens in the Botanical Garden. Groups interested in volunteering at the garden can call or email to schedule a time. Contact Kathy McNamara at [email protected] or (504) 483-9464. for more infomation or to set a time.
The Pelican Greenhouse
Greenhouse volunteers are welcome on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon. Activities include propagation of plants through seeds and cuttings, as well as transplanting, watering and weeding. For more information call (504) 483-9437. At this time, the greenhouse is not accepting volunteers. | <urn:uuid:d5b44d30-10ce-4838-8643-ce6ada805300> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://neworleanscitypark.com/info/volunteer | 2020-08-08T14:56:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737883.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808135620-20200808165620-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.943928 | 954 | [

Vaughn: There are several emerging enabling or umbrella technologies related to the Internet of Things such as artificial intelligence, machine vision, and the topic of today’s discussion, distributed ledger technology, or as it’s more commonly known, blockchain. My guest today has been involved in varying degrees with several projects and applications of blockchain technology spanning multiple vertical markets.
He frequently gets to deal with both developer groups and with customers. So he’s in a great position to understand and discuss many of the intersections of the internet of things with blockchain. So let me introduce my guest, who’s a business development executive of blockchain solutions with IBM. Mr Eric Bergeman.
Erik: Thank you, Vaughn. I appreciate it.
Vaughn: Thanks for joining us. So how did you get started in the blockchain business?
Erik: Ooh. So, I’ll take a little step back and talk about much of my career at IBM has been focused on. What I’ll [00:01:00] call wave one technologies. I came into IBM in the late nineties kind of at the beginning of the dotcom boom as we were trying to figure out how to create this thing that we called eBusiness, which was not e-commerce per se, but.
But really, you know, more focused on how do enterprises do business together and how do they leverage the, this new thing, the internet to be able to do that. So I participated in that. And, and throughout my career, I’ve kind of focused, as I said, on these wave one technologies. So as we were doing eCommerce and B2B commerce and marketplaces, and, and then we went through a kind of a period where we acquired , several different things, and we called it smarter commerce as, we began to inject intelligence and back in the the mid thousands, if you will. Um, we began to take a real [00:02:00] hard look at a set of technologies, which subsequently now is called internet of things technologies. At the time, we were looking at RFID and, Oh, how could we use near field communication technologies to solve business problems?
Vaughn: Machine to machine
Erik: Yeah, exactly. So machine to machine, what we call in, in the, in the business and the old, the business world, we call it an instrumentation. So we needed to instrument the physical world and whatever, since we could do so, and be able to do that. Now it’s, it’s obviously called the internet of things technologies.
And then about a little over a year ago I had been. Involved in and primarily focused on the retail and the consumer industry. And I had an opportunity to become a part of a group inside IBM that was focused on what we called platforms and the creation of industry specific platforms. And so [00:03:00] I, once again remade myself and, and joined what is our blockchain in supply chain, solutions organization platform group.
And, and have been applying both my industry expertise and having covered the retail and consumer industry for many years in this new kind of startup business where we, IBM decided to make a significant investment and operationalizing this thing called blockchain. And creating these trusted networks of business partners that we could then collect the data, do it in such a way that we were not violating the principles of owning your own data and kind of be the, the trusted facilitator of these, of these network relationships and really kind of amp up the digitalization of certain technologies, certain functional capabilities like supply chain in particular,
Vaughn: Right, [00:04:00] so it’s not just blockchain by itself. There’s also augmenting that with the trust ed networking and, and things of that nature that IBM supplies.
Erik: Right, for us, it’s not a matter of doing blockchain for blockchain’s sake. Blockchain, it does nothing else except leverage a kind of technology that underpins the businesses working in operating more efficiently, so…
Vaughn: A piece of the puzzle.
Erik: Yeah, exactly. And, and so when I, when I look at these platforms that IBM has been investing in platforms like TradeLens, which is for the container shipping business, platforms like food trust, which is targeted and focused on creating trust in the, in the food supply chain, kind of end-to-end.
We have an opportunity to, to underpin that with blockchain technology so that everybody that’s participating knows. [00:05:00] Okay. If you put something up there, it can’t be changed. Right? This whole concept of immutability, and I know there are a lot of debates in the marketplace about it, well, blockchain is Bitcoin and or not, or is it really immutable?
You know, is it enforceable? You know, self-sovereign versus, I mean, there’s a whole lot of debates about all of that. And and for us, it’s more about how do we, how do we do something in a more trusted way than what exists today and in a way that people can comprehend without having to, you know, worry about different people not playing by the rules or not playing in the right way, and in an enterprise scalable. sustainable way.
Vaughn: I met you at a blockchain meetup here in Austin, and you were discussing the international shipping application that you’re working on currently, and it had a lot of, [00:06:00] a lot of tentacles, if you will, into other markets. So that was, that was really interesting to me.
Erik: Well, I mean, you think about it, and a lot of people don’t realize this, but. The biggest ships that are out there carry 24,000 containers. Most people are not. Most different companies that are moving containers across the ocean aren’t moving more than one or two or three on average. You know, three or four at the most.
So you’re talking about something like 20,000 different companies that are represented by those 24,000 containers on that one huge mega ship that just landed at a port, that by the way takes sometimes weeks to unload. So the ability to apply these new technologies to the market in a way that drives efficiency around.
Not just the movement of the goods, but all of the documentation in order to get those 24,000 [00:07:00] containers on that ship. It may have had to stop many, many places, and every time it stops, um, more would get loaded on or, or what we call transshipment points in, in some of the hub ports around the world.
So a lot of goods coming out of Asia may stop in Spain, for instance, before, you know, before coming to the East coast, or, you know, or vice versa. So there, there’s a lot of, you know, not just, not just understanding. And, and a lot of different participants that take place. But there are other technologies that we’re beginning to see applied, like for instance, internet of things, technologies.
So one of the things that IOT is being used at in the container business. And then I have another example that I’ll share, um, that I think is relevant as well, is making smart containers. If I have a ship that has some kind of cellular service on it. And I have [00:08:00] 24,000 containers on that ship that each have some kind of of sensor that says, Hey, here it is.
You know, I have a, a new ability to understand where my goods are at any moment in time. And I think what a part of what has happened is there is this expectation. In you and I, because we use it, Every time we go to a new city and we pick up a phone and we, and we bring up the Uber app, we know exactly where the vehicle is that’s going to come pick us up.
And so these businesses are, are kind of asking the question of everybody involved in moving their goods. Why can’t I do that? And so the, the application of. You know, IOT for kind of real time tracking and understanding where things are is one thing. But you know, moving goods is not just physically where the goods are because there are many steps along the way and there are many things that have to [00:09:00] happen on both sides of the ocean.
in order for that container to even be put on a ship or taken off a ship. So it’s, it’s not just physically where is that container and what goods are in that container, but it is, where is the documentation for the import process or the export process. In, in the overall process so that I can do a better job understanding why is that container sitting there doing nothing.
Vaughn: So you mentioned before that there was a lot of, <TAG> efficiency that could be gained
through that process.
Just understanding how the paperwork is flowing through the system, but there’s also trust and, you know, you’d need to know where certain things are at certain times, and then the provenance behind those things.
You need to know where they were. And incorporating the IOT into things. You mentioned that some of the smart sensors would be able to give you the provenance of were they frozen at one point or where they thought accidentally at one point?
[00:10:00] Erik: Exactly. So one of the solutions that we have in the marketplace is called IBM food trust and IBM food trust.
It was a solution that we brought to market with a consortium of retailers and consumer packaged goods companies. And it was all about the worldwide food supply chain. Because, it’s no longer, everything is no longer grown, you know, regionally, like it used to be many, many years ago.
You know, you look at olive oil for instance, or you look at lettuce, lettuce comes from all over the place. Strawberries are grown year-round in hot houses, and you and I as consumers, we don’t really care where it came from. We, we were more interested that it is there and it’s not only available in the
You know, spring or in the fall, which is what we used to expect when we were going to our local farmer’s market, [00:11:00] or even early on in grocery stores, grocery, you know, grocery stores now look at demand. And when that demand comes in and they, and they have to source that good wherever it is, if they can source it locally, they’ll source it locally.
If it’s not available locally, they’ll source it from some other part of the world where it’s maybe summer instead of, you know, the winter. And if they can get that produce in, in such a way and be able to do it when that demand is there, then they’re going to make more money. And everybody’s got, their customers are going to be more happy.
And so it’s just, the world has changed a lot. So
Vaughn: Definitely a worldwide market now.
Erik: Yeah, exactly. So one of the, one of the most exciting examples, I think that. I have of this convergence of different technologies that are out there of the blockchain of IOT, of sensors, and of artificial intelligence in particular is one that we did around fresh meat, hamburger meat.
Um, and I won’t tell you specifically the [00:12:00] names of the companies, um, although they have published it in the marketplace. So it’s not like it’s any super big secret. They’ve been on stage with us to do it. But the basic premise was instead of using frozen hamburger patties, they wanted to use fresh hamburger patties.
Well, when you freeze hamburger patties and meat. The, the temperature sensitivity because it’s frozen and the patties are stacked together in there altogether is not quite as, it’s not quite as sensitive to changes in temperature or lack of being at a particular temperature. It’s still important to keep the goods frozen kind of along, but.
Temperature, up and down really doesn’t matter all that much. So in order to maintain freshness, so we were working with the company that both produced the fresh hamburger patties and the company that was using those hamburger patties in a restaurant in order to feed those to the, to the consumers. And so.
we combined all the different technologies that you’ve [00:13:00] heard about. You know, one thing we did was as soon as those hamburger patties came into the plants and they were created and they were put into a package, into a box, we put an RFID tag on the box, and then we could track what happened to that box from every step in the process all along the way.
And then we used IOT sensors in that particular package had to go through a series of, of refrigerated locations, right? Went through, you know, trucks. It went through coolers in the distribution plant of the manufacturer. It went through coolers in the back of a restaurant. And so we kind of create, you know, with now with the temperature sensor capabilities that we have, we could, every time there was a place that it, that that product was in a place that needed to be cooled.
We could monitor the temperature of that [00:14:00] environment. So if it was in a truck, we had a sensor in the truck that said, okay, this truck is that, you know, 40 degrees, or whatever, and we could sample that as often and as frequently as we wanted to. And so we were able to know exactly where the good was because there was RFID tags on the products itself.
We were to note, we were able to know what the temperature was of that product at all times because we had sensors in all of the environments that that product sat in. And then finally we were able to work with the restaurant itself to say, okay. Based on the journey of this particular fresh hamburger Patty.
We knew how long a, that particular hamburger Patty could stay kind of in circulation before it was consumed. Um, and so that’s kind of where AI came in. So we could look at all of the data. We could look at the journey of that hamburger Patty. We, we knew how long it had lasted, and we knew [00:15:00] where it was in the back room, in the cooler of the store.
And we could create a set of alerts to the people operating the, the, the restaurant to say, Hey, you’ve got something that is going to go bad in four days. So you need to make sure you use this box of hamburgers today. And we could, we could give that information to the people operating the store because people want to do the best they can.
They want to save money, especially the people that are managing and operating the store, because that makes a huge difference to their bottom line
Vaughn: With such a complicated supply chain though, there’s so many things that could go wrong at each step. Exactly. And I guess each step is recorded in the blockchain, right?
Vaughn: So that at the end of the day you have the provenance
Erik: So the temperature. You know, because there are multiple enterprises involved. It’s not just one or two enterprises. In some cases, they had outsourced the logistics and the [00:16:00] transportation of this, these products to other third party companies, depending on what, you know, you’re talking, we’re talking about a nationwide restaurant.
And so they don’t always own all of the parts and the pieces and everything that they do. And so they wanted to make sure everybody. Was fair. Everybody did what they said they were going to do, and nobody cheated along the way. So we were able to use the immutability of blockchain to say, okay, we’re going to connect this temperature sensor directly to the blockchain, and it’s gonna.
Communicate without anybody participating. So machine to machine, as you talked about, and you know, all the sensor did was say what the temperature was, not what else was going on or anything else.
Vaughn: it’d be hard to manufacture the records.
Erik: Exactly. It’s impossible because the temperature is registered.
I mean, the sensor is registered, and so unless you’re going to spoof the sensor, which [00:17:00] theoretically could be done, but there are lots of mechanisms in place that we have. In these technologies like, like IOT technologies and IOT networks and device management for IOT that prevent that from happening.
So, you know, each sensor is signed, each sensor is secured, each sensor has its own kind of identity, and we’re keeping that identity somewhere else so that we know to validate that identity so that we’re not getting that coming from some other Chinese or or Russian IP address somewhere else, trying to spoof, you know, trying to spoof what’s going on.
Not that they care about the hamburger patties, I mean, I don’t want to create that, but the reality is every one of these technologies can stand alone. And I think what’s unique about what w what we have done in this sense of these companies working together, is it’s [00:18:00] multi enterprise.
It’s a business network. It’s secure. And it allows us to solve a real business problem, and it allows us to improve the operations of everybody concerned. So there’s business value to kind of everybody.
Vaughn: Yeah. For the end user, I mean, you reduce spoilage and you also are able to prove that your product is pure and when it gets to the end user, and there are a lot of benefits to that.
Erik: And there are certain certain industries where that critical. So, you know, one of the other things that we’re doing specifically with, with food trust is around there’s been a lot of problem. A lot of people have gotten sick. Because of lettuce in the last five, 10 years, and the ability to very rapidly in literally 2.2 seconds, pinpoint exactly where the lettuce came from, which particular farm that came from.
And you know, it’s [00:19:00] not to harm the farmer, but to say, okay, farmer, what practices are you doing that’s causing, you know, this lettuce to be contaminated with e-coli? Let’s figure that out so that you can continually do business and we can be safe in our food supply, which is a critical factor. So it, you know, it’s not always, Oh, well, big brother wants to monitor you, big brother wants to know what you’re doing so that you know we can harm you. It’s, it’s really more a situation of how do we up the safety of the whole thing.
Vaughn: Right. Everybody works better together.
Erik: Yeah, exactly.
Vaughn: That’s another point though. In order for all of this to work, you have to have sort of a consortium together of all of these different entities along the supply chain that are working in concert.
So I know that you’ve been involved with some of that in the past, but you do really have to put together a industry standard body to develop [00:20:00] all the interconnections between the interfaces between all these different companies for the entire supply chain to work.
Erik: Yeah, exactly. And you know, and we think about that along a couple of different dimensions, right.
So. What we’re doing with blockchain is what we call permission trusted blockchain, where we know the members that are participating, and this whole concept of distributed ledger means that different people will monitor and maintain nodes on the network where this virtual ledger, distributed ledger exists across these nodes.
and where we have consensus methods where we all agree that, okay, this is a valid transaction, so let’s put it on the ledger. But there’s a couple of things that we’re doing that are different than what may have been done in some other places. So one of the things that we’re doing is we’re [00:21:00] using concept of channels within the distributed ledger.
So while you may be validating that this is a valid transaction, you may not know what the actual transaction, the data of the transaction is. You may just be validating that the person that is submitting that transaction has the right to submit it and, and, and is appropriate to be able to do that.
And then, as you said, one of the things that we’re doing is, is these consortium members, they may operate a node on the blockchain. And they may operate a node on this kind of multi enterprise business network, but not everybody has to operate a node. Not everybody can afford to operate a node when you’re looking at, you know, something as broad as a supply chain. So I’ll give you a specific example. One of the things that, we ran early on in a food pilot, in our food trust, [00:22:00] network was a pilot where a very large retailer that’s a global retailer was acquiring pork from very small farms in China.
So rather than force a small farmer in rural China from operating a blockchain node, which is not something even within their comprehension at all. You know, we had a trusted, a trusted party that could work with the Chinese, and would have a, and would operate the node on behalf of all the Chinese farmers.
And all they needed was a, basically a cell phone, and they would take pictures of their pigs and they would say, here’s the pictures of the pigs. And they would put the, they would push a button and that would have been then be uploaded to the blockchain. So the beauty of the advancement of all of these technologies at the same time, like mobility and mobile apps and [00:23:00] Android and, and iOS, and all of these mechanisms, is that you can extend these business networks in a trusted way. So yes, the pig farmer has to register, but the pig farmer has to register with the retailer anyway if the, if the retailer is going to buy the product from them. And so we have added these mechanisms where they can go through the registration process and just instead of the pig farmer happened to be able to know how to do EDI, which they don’t, or having somebody else do it or have them go to a very kind of arcane process on a website.
It’s a very simple mobile app that we can create that the retailer can then give to the, to their suppliers for free. We credentialize the, you know, the people so that we know we’re getting it from somebody who’s legitimate, but in terms of [00:24:00] the UI and what the farmer needs to know, it’s not all that difficult.
They already know how to take their phone and take pictures and they already know how to use apps on their phone and push that. So there’s, there’s been a democratization of technology to such an extent that we can begin to leverage it for the benefits of these multi enterprise business networks.
Vaughn: Sure. So the parties that are benefiting the most from the financial benefits of using this technology are the ones that are responsible for the most amount of payment into it, but they’ll still come out with a net positive.
Erik: Right, exactly. So they are the ones, yeah. So the big retailers are the big.consumer packaged goods are the big food processors that are doing it on behalf of these larger retailers and other large retailers, right? So it’s not just one retailer, but you know, the way supply chains work is there are intermediaries that are adding value in the middle of the supply chain that are doing [00:25:00] things like processing food or taking the pigs and slaughtering them.
And then, you know. Making the cuts and then creating the cuts that are then packaged and given to the retailers and sold to multiple retailers. So kind of we’re taking a, who can afford to have a node and to participate in the blockchain and for instance, the transportation companies to look, here’s a, here’s a sensor technology that we can all use to, you know, do the IOT.
And then. You know what you’ve got. So for instance, in the containers business, a lot of the big ocean carriers that get the most benefit as you talk about, are investing in some startup technologies for smart containers. So there’s four or five of the big ocean carriers that have put their money and said, okay, I’m going to start.
It takes time, but I’m going to start over time having these smart containers, and [00:26:00] I’m going to begin to work those smart containers into my entire container population, and containers live five, six, eight years before, you know, so it’ll be another five, six, eight years before we get to the point where all of the containers are smart containers.
And even even at that, the old containers basically end up being sold on the open market to people who want to use containers. And sometimes they’re used in people’s backyards. And you know, sometimes they’re used to ship things around. You know, because I want to own my own containers. Cause at the end of the day, you know, a lot of containers are leased.
And if I’m a beneficial cargo owner or somebody that’s shipping some goods I have to pay rent on that container. So it may be a little more cost effective for me to buy a used container. Right. You know, just like buying a used car instead of, you know, instead of taking an Uber.
Vaughn: But you wouldn’t know all these things if you weren’t documenting it in the first place.
Erik: [00:27:00] Exactly.
Vaughn: And you mentioned some, in the particular vertical that you were talking about initially was the international shipping vertical. You mentioned some cost benefit numbers, and there was a percentage that you mentioned in the meeting in Austin, and what was it somewhere in the neighborhood of 10% or?
Erik: Well, so, you know, think about it and they’re there are
a couple of different key things that we’re seeing as we’re going through digitalization of the supply chain and benefits that our clients are achieving. And in one sense the efficiency of moving can be thought about in terms of both time and in terms of money. Right? So there was a study that was done a couple of years ago, and actually back in 2018, and it was done by an academic [00:28:00] institution. And basically what they found is that the average container has 27 participants in the movement of that container from a foreign country into the United States, or, you know, from point to point a across borders, 27 different entities that have to have to participate in that process, 36 different documents and 240 copies of those documents that have to get shared around. And a lot of that is done today with paper. It just is. That’s the way it works. And because of that, there is a rather significant amount of time where containers are just sitting around, not moving. In one pilot that we did from avocados of East Africa to Europe we were able to show that by digitizing all of the documents that were necessary between the two points that we were doing business, we were able to actually shave about 20% off of the total transit time [00:29:00] from the time that the goods were packed until the time they were unpacked.
So that’s, that’s truly how long it is
Vaughn: And reduce spoilage at least.
Erik: Exactly, exactly.
So, you know, if I can reduce 20% out of that time versus pre digitalization versus post digitalization. Then as you say, there are so many benefits that can come in, to doing that spoilage. You know, the ability to move goods more efficiently, more effectively, I can, I can do a better job anticipating what they’re going to do. I can sell more because I have less. Spoilage is a double edged sword. Part of it is, Hey, it’s costing me money, but part of it is I’m not selling it because it’s not as fresh when I get it there. Right. Um, so it’s, it’s kind of a double whammy in terms of the benefits that get created there.
So that’s one thing. You know, the, the [00:30:00] ability to reduce that total transit time is important. And then one of the other things that we did, we did a study with a client where, you know, they looked at this very inefficient global process where they’re moving stuff all around. So they, they both import and export, and they’re moving stuff from one country to another country.
They’re moving stuff into the United States. They’re moving stuff out of the United States, They are a United States based company. But at the end of the day. When they looked at their cost for logistics, for moving these goods around, what they found was that about 40% of the time, there was an inaccuracy in what they should have paid.
So in the invoice that they got from their transportation provider, and remember there’s 27 different entities involved in moving goods, so there’s a lot of those that are transportation providers and they’re only looking at their little piece. Lots of room for [00:31:00] error, lots of room for error.
And, and, you know, we kind of went through that process with them, kind of re-engineered that process, and basically found that somewhere between 5% and 8% of the logistics cost in moving a container through those 27 entities from point to point, on average we could reduce. So somewhere in between 5% and 8% reduction just in the invoice logistics costs.
So that has nothing to do with what’s inside the container. It has everything to do with what you’re getting charged to move that container. And, and that’s significant when you’re talking about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of content containers that get moved, or even, you know, some of the largest companies that move containers might move as many as a million containers, right?
You take five to 8% out of that cost and, or 6%, I think an average, whatever. It’s huge. [00:32:00] It’s, it’s a huge thing. | <urn:uuid:f32de5d8-d3ea-46ea-87ff-04b46de3c1be> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://iotwavelength.com/season-1-episode-1-iot-blockchain-applications/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=season-1-episode-1-iot-blockchain-applications | 2020-08-10T08:52:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738653.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810072511-20200810102511-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.966816 | 7,103 | [

Some people may read this strip as making fun of engineers, which it is to some degree. However, I really see it as more making fun of the extremes to which teachers will go to try to interest students in a class they’re completely disinterested in. If you’ve ever taught, you’ve had that moment of realization like Professor Hobo in this strip. No matter what you do, your students are fundamentally more interested in Halo.
HOBO: We'll be reading Slaughterhouse 5, 1984, The Three Musketeers, Catch-22, and Fahrenheit 451. See, all number themed! Wait... what are you doing?
STUDENT: We built Master Chief out of the books. | <urn:uuid:9238f005-71d3-4b9a-b124-196c40219e88> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.professorhobo.com/comic/english-for-engineers | 2020-08-12T05:41:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738878.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812053726-20200812083726-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.961772 | 149 | [

Here's a book that completely took me by surprise. I've said for years that historical fiction just isn't my sort of thing and then Prisoner of the Inquisition by Theresa Breslin comes along and I'm absolutely blown over by how much I adored this story, these characters and the absolutely fascinating historical setting. I really need to rethink my stance on historical fiction from now on. Also? I need to pick up more books by Theresa Breslin because I have been won over by her style of writing.
Prisoner of the Inquisition takes place during the Spanish Inquisition, around the time that Christopher Colombus is gathering funds in order to make his famous trip overseas. While not only making Christopher Colombus a minor character, which was quite cool in itself, I also learned an incredible amount of the politics and some of the reasons and goals of Isabella and her justifications of the Inquisition. All of the historical aspects of the novel felt like a natural progression of the story and it didn't feel heavy or forced at all. I was learning without realising it, which I think takes great skill.
We have a dual narrative here from both Zarita, the wealthy daughter of the magistrate and from Saulo, the son of a poor family in town. Zarita and Saulo first cross paths when Zarita falsely accuses Saulo's father of assault and as a consequence, Saulo's father is hung and Saulo sent off to become a slave on a ship. It all happens very quickly and immediately Zarita realises the grave error she has just committed that has cost someone his life. This event changes and shapes both Zarita's and Saulo's life.
Alternating between their two stories, Saulo describes what life as a slave aboard a ship is like. The hard work, the poor treatment and a life of nothing but drudgery in his future. However he is quite fortunate to be taken under the wing of the captain and is able to learn more about shipping and constellations and exploration. Saulo's whole experience was absolutely fascinating and I found myself eager to get back to it.
Zarita, on the other hand, is really struggling at home. With the loss of her mother, her whole world is thrown into turmoil as the inquisition sweeps into her town and she has this really tenuous relationship with her father and his new wife. There's so much at play in this book - it deals with growing up and becoming your own person, atoning for the mistakes in the past, forgiveness, family and love. I loved every minute of this book and can highly recommend it! | <urn:uuid:ef1d0be7-1f37-49ac-b3b3-3bd2469c28dd> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.flutteringbutterflies.com/2011/06/review-prisoner-of-inquisition-by.html?showComment=1308663937233 | 2020-08-15T13:03:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740848.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815124541-20200815154541-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.986186 | 532 | [

English singer-songwriter and musician. Peter Sinclair “Marc” Almond was born 9 July 1957. Almond first began performing and recording in te synthpp/New Wave duo Soft Cell.He has ls had a dierse career s soloartist. Almond’s official website claims he has sold over 30 million records worldwideAs a child, Almond listened to his parent’ record collection, which included his mother’s “Let’s Dance” by Chris Montez and “The Twist” by Chubby Checker, also his father’s collection of jazz including Dave Brubeck and EartaKitt. As an adolescent, Almond listened toRadio aroline and Radio Luxembourg. He listened at first to progressive music, blues and rock, Free, Jethro Tull, Van der Graf Generator The Who, and The Doors, and bought the first ever issue of Sounds, because it contained a free poster of Jimmy Page.Almond became a fan of Marc Bolan after hearing him on the John Peel Show, buying the T. Rex single “Ride a White Swan”. From then on Almond “followed everything Marc Bolan did,” and it was hi obsession with Bolan that prompted Almnd to adopt the ‘Marc’ spelling. He discovered the songs of Jacques Brel through Bowie as well as Alex Harvey and Dusty Springfield.
Almond initially shot to fame in the early 1980s as one half of the synth duo Soft Cell, whose hits included “Tainted Love”, “Bedsitter” Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, “What!”, “Soul Inside” and the clubhit “Memorabilia”. SoftCell’s first release was an independent record (funded by David Ball’s mother) entitled “Mutant Moments” via Red Rhino Records in 1980.”Mutant Moments” came to the attention of music entrepreneur Stevo Pearce, who at the time was compiling a “futurist” chart for the music paper Sos which featured young, upcoming and experimental bands of the new wave of electronic sound. He signed the duo to his Some Bizzare label and they enjoyed a string of nine Top 40 hit singles and four Top 20 albums in the UK between 1981-84. They recorded three albums in New York with producer Mike Thorne: Non Stop Erotic Cabaret, Non Stop Ecstatic Dancing and The Art of Falling Apart. Almond became involved with the New York Underground Art Scene at this time with writer/DJ Anita Sarko, and performed at a number of Art events as well as meeting many New York Art luminaries including Andy Warhol.”Tainted Love”, a cover of a Gloria Jones’ Northern Soul classic was number one in the UK and in many countries over the world and was in the Guinness Book of Records for a while as the record that spent the longest time in the Billboard Top 100 chart in the U.S. It also won the best single award of 1981 at the first Brit Awards. Soft Cell brought an otherwise obscure Northern Soul classic to mass public attention and their version of the song is, to date, the UK’s 59th best selling single of all time, selling over one million copies in the UK.
In 1982, Almond formed Marc and the Mambas as an off-shoot project from Soft Cell. Marc and the Mambas was a loose experimental collective which included Matt Johnson, Steve James Sherlock, Lee Jenkinson, Peter Ashworth, Jim Thirlwell and Annie Hogan, with whom Almond worked later in his solo career. Under the Mambas moniker Almond recorded two albums; Untitled and the seminal double opus Torment and Toreros. He disbanded the collective when it started to feel too much like a regular band.Soft Cell also disbanded in 1984 just before the release of their fourth album, This Last Night In Sodom, though the duo reunited in 2001.Almond’s first proper solo album was Vermin in Ermine, released in 1984. , it featured musicians from the Mambas outfit, Annie Hogan, Martin McCarrick and Billy McGee. This ensemble, known as The Willing Sinners, worked alongside Almond for the subsequent albums Stories of Johnny (1985) from which the title track became a minor hit, and Mother Fist and Her Five Daughters (1987), which was highly acclaimed in reviews, stating that it “embraces classic European cabaret to wonderful effect, more so than any American or English rock album since Bowie’s Aladdin Sane or Lou Reed’s Berlin.”McCarrick left The Willing Sinners in 1987 to join Siouxsie and the Banshees, from which point Hogan and McGee became known as La Magia. Almond released the album The Stars We Are in 1988 which featured Almond’s version of “Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart”, which was later re-recorded as a duet with the song’s original singer Gene Pitney and released as a single. The track reached No. 1 in the UK. It also reached number one in Germany and was a major hit in countries around the world. Almond’s other recordings in the 1980s included an album of Brel songs, called Jacques, and an album of dark French chansons originally performed by Juliette Greco, Serge Lama and Léo Ferré, as well as poems by Rimbaud and Baudelaire set to music. This album was released in 1993 as Absinthe (The French Album), and was initially recorded in the late 1980s then finished in Paris in the early 1990s.
Almond’s next album was Enchanted, which spawned the UK Top 30 hit “A Lover Spurned”. A further single from the album, “Waifs and Strays”, was remixed by Dave Ball who was now in the electronic dance band The Grid. In 1991, Soft Cell returned to the charts with a new remix of “Say Hello Wave Goodbye” followed by a re-release of “Tainted Love” (with a new video). The singles were issued to promote a new Soft Cell/Marc Almond compilation album, Memorabilia – The Singles, which collected some of the biggest hits from Almond’s career throughout the previous ten years. Almond then released a new solo album, Tenement Symphony and also the album Fantastic Star recording sessions for the album with John Cale, David Johanson, and Chris Spedding. During recording Almond also spent several weeks attending a treatment centre in Canterbury for addiction. Almond re-invented himsel with a more downbeat and atmospheric electronica album, Open All Night. This featured R&B and trip hop influences, as well as torch songs for which he had become known. The album featured a duet (“Threat of Love”) with Siouxsie Sioux as well as one (“Almost Diamonds”) with Keli Ali (then of the Sneaker Pimps). “Black Kiss”, “Tragedy” and “My Love” On 2001, Soft Cell reunited briefly and released their first new album in 18 years, Cruelty Without Beauty. Two singles came out of this album, “Monoculture” and a cover of the Frankie Valli’s “The Night”, then In June 2007, Almond released an album of cover songs, Stardom Road. Picked to tell a story of his life and career, the album featured songs as diverse as “I Have Lived” by Charles Aznavour, to “Stardom Road” by Third World War, Frank Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night”, and “Kitch” by Paul Ryan. The album featured also featured a newly written song. In October 2007, the fashion house Yves Saint Laurent picked Almond’s “Strangers in the Night” to represent their show at London’sFashion Rocks. Almond performed for the event at the Royal Albert Hall.
In 2008 and 2009, Almond toured with Jools Holland throughout the UK as well as guesting at shows by Current 93, Baby Dee and a tribute show to the late folk singer Sandy Denny. In October 2009, Almond released an album titled Orpheus in Exile: Songs of Vadim Kozin which was a tribute to Russian singer Vadim Kozin, who was exiled to the gulags of the Arctic Circleof Russian and comtaimed Romantic ballads and Gypsy songs. In June 2010, Almond released Varieté, an album of crafted personal songs, his first studio album of self-penned songs in almost a decade, and In 2011, Almond released an album Feasting with Panthers. A collaboration with musician and arranger Michael Cashmore. It featured poems of Count Eric Stenbock put to music as well as decadent and homoerotic poems by Jean Genet, Jean Cocteau, Paul Verlaine andRimbaud. Almond also took part in a unique music-theatre work Ten Plagues held at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre which was a one man song cycle based on Daniel Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year (which dates back to 1665), with metaphors of Aids and epidemics, and was a collaboration between Almond, theatre director and designer Stewart Laing, libretto author Mark Ravenhill and composer Conor Mitchell. The show won the Scotman’s Fringe First Award. In 2012, Almond took the role of the Greek Stoic philosopher Seneca in the Paris Théâtre du Châtelet’s experimental rock adaptation of Poppea based on Monteverdi’s original 17th century opera The Coronation of Poppea also starring ex-Libertines Carl Barat, Benjamin Biolay, Fredrika Stahl, Valerie Gabail and Anna Madison.On 9 August 2012, Almond performed at Antony Hegarty’s Meltdown Festival in London’s Southbank. He sang the whole Marc and the Mambas Torment and Toreros album for the first time live. Some of the original musicians in the album also performed with Almond: | <urn:uuid:a64fd28a-c650-41e8-976a-a171c991688b> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://rich1698.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/ | 2020-08-15T14:44:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740848.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815124541-20200815154541-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.965753 | 2,188 | [

Mike Patrick, the Executive Chef and Owner of Fancy Hanks BBQ, Good Heavens Rooftop Bar and Heroes BBQ and Karaoke. Mike has cooked commercially for the past 20 years, specifically spending the last 15 years with live fire cuisines. Fancy Hanks was started by Mike 6 years ago. He has spared some time in his busy schedule to chat with us at Postcoder, just in time for the opening of his latest venture, Heroes, a four level South East Asian Charcoal BBQ and Karaoke Venue in Melbournes CBD.
Why did you start Fancy Hanks? What was your greatest challenge?
After a few trips over to the South of the US I fell in love with southern BBQ. No one was doing this in Australia back in 2012, and I knew that it would suit this countrys culture perfectly! At the time, our greatest challenge was trying to get people to understand particular cuts of meat like brisket, and pulled pork. People thought we were mad!
Whats a typical day for you look like?
These days managing our team that comprises of pitmasters, bar and venue managers. We have 50 staff who all love BBQ as much as us! It really is a big family. A typical day looks something like me meeting and checking in with the guys, tasting and looking at specials / menu changes and working through our events coming up. Then most days I get home to hang out with my 2 year old daughter Billie before she goes to bed.
Who are your customers and why are they special?
We have a large portion of return regulars. The live fire slow smoked BBQ scene has really blown up since we started out, so we get a lot of a home BBQ fans in. We also see many theatre goers before and after shows as we are right in the theatre district in Melbournes CBD. Plus of course the corporate lunchtime crowds.
How do you connect with your customers?
We use social media platforms extensively, as well as street posters, loyalty programs and monthly email outs.
How do you differentiate yourself from competitors?
We try and stick to the traditional methods of cooking over fire which many of our competitors do not do, but we serve food that is a little more contemporary to fit into the busy hospitality scene of Melbourne.
What would you say has been your magic moment / proudest achievement with Fancy Hanks to date?
Moving into Bourke Street in the city was an amazing experience, great to see the progression from trailer in a park to rooftop in the CBD.
Greatest piece of business advice?
Make a strong business plan, regularly reassess your goals and stick to them.
What is the best piece of advice you can give to others looking to start a business based on everything you have learnt?
Make sure that your concept is based around a passion of yours. If you dont completely understand what you are doing, then a customer won’t either.
And some quick questions to finish –
What do you love most about what you do?
Making people happy with food, drink and an amazing experience. Giving back to the industry that I have spent my entire working life in.
Whats one thing that always makes you happy?
Whats your rule of thumb when it comes to inspiring your team?
Be consistent with communication and show that you care for everyone.
Best advice you can give someone who wants to get into your area of work?
Surround yourself with staff who are better than you.
What do you think is the most common mistake that people make when starting a business?
Think it is a fast way to make money. Hospitality in Melbourne is possibly the hardest city in the world to make work.
Coffee or tea? Easily coffee!
Savoury or Sweet? Savoury
Whats your favourite holiday hotspot?
Bright, we go every summer.
Whats your #1 time management tip?
Write to do lists
Best way to spend a Saturday night?
With my daughter Billie and my wife Chloe. | <urn:uuid:c78b3198-baff-406f-b05d-99180f5baa40> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.postcoder.com.au/melbourne/blog/a-day-in-the-life-of-mike-patrick/ | 2020-08-04T00:21:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735836.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803224907-20200804014907-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.96946 | 840 | [

You’ve just read the opening pages of the The Nothing Man, the true crime memoir Eve Black has written about her obsessive search for the man who killed her family nearly two decades ago.
Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle is reading it too and with each turn of the page his rage grows. Because Jim was is the Nothing Man.
The more Jim read, the more he realises how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she won’t give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first.
Wow! Once I started reading just a few words of The Nothing Man I became instantly hooked, I just couldn’t take my eyes of the pages it was just impossible to put down and I really mean just impossible to shut the book. Every disturbing detail seemed so real life.
I know The Nothing Man is going to be a huge best seller with everyone talking about it. With Catherine Ryan Howard’s hard work of thriller writing her books always has that effect on me as page turners.
The Nothing Man is an absolutely amazing thriller that mixes a fictional true crime with a tense psychological suspense. I just loved it and furthermore I know you are all going to be Seriously addicted to the criminal life of The Nothing Man.
The Nothing Man has two stories, but one killer.
The chapters are with one chapter by Eve Black and the next chapter by Jim Boyle that brings every chapter full of tension.
In The Nothing Man, my heart went out to poor little Eve at such a young age to witness her family’s murder.
As for the Nothing Man I hated him for murdering too many innocent people.
When Eve Black was just twelve years old a man broke into her home and murderd her mother, father and her younger seven year old sister, Anna. Eve only escaped as she went to use the bathroom and heard footsteps going to rooms that didn’t sound like her family and sensed something that made her stay in the bathroom until she thought it was safe to come out.
Eve’s family were the last family that the man attacked, but not the first. Eve Black’s family were the attackers fifth in two years. The horrific murders reminded me of Ted Bundy, how he went on to murder women without being caught. The Nothing Man attacked five victims with either physically assault, sexual assault violently and sexual assault or murder, all without leaving any trace of evidence.
Now Eve Black is at the age of thirty, she has decided to write a book The Nothing Man about her family’s murder and about his other crimes too. She can’t stop writing until she finds the killer.
Supermarket security guard Jim Boyle sees a woman in the supermarket carrying a book called The Nothing Man, he thought it has to be a fiction book. The book must be a new book released this week, he looked for the authors name Eve Black. The tile, The Nothing Man is frightening Jim, pointing at him and accusing him. The Nothing Man was his other name the newspapers had given him. The one on one knew belonged to him. Jim couldn’t help himself he had to know what author Eve Black had written about The Nothing Man. I couldn’t believe it Jim started to read The Nothing Man. He takes the book home and hides it from his wife and daughter to read it in secret. He can’t stop reading, because he is the killer.
When Jim finds out Eve Black is going to a book signing, he needs to go alone, but what Jim hasn’t planned is that someone else wants to go to the book signing too.
Eve Black makes a speech at her book signing. I was the girl who survived the Nothing Man. I am the woman who is going to find him.
I have to admit I didn’t see the twist adapting and what a surprise it was !
Every book with the author’s name Catherine Ryan Howard is a must read. Catherine Ryan Howard is one of the best thriller crime authors that I can get into very easily and I know every reader will enjoy Catherine Ryan Howard’ys work without stopping . And I’m honestly saying to everyone that the newest book The Nothing Man about a fictional true crime memoir that isat the centre of this novel is truly a really big must buy, must read.
I would like to say a huge thank you to Corvus fir sending me an early proof paperback to read and review.

This story has been updated with a response from the EPA.
For two years, the Trump administration has been planting seeds of change in the Environmental Protection Agency—installing allies of regulated industries onto its elite panels of science advisers. That effort now has borne fruit in dramatic fashion.
The EPA's new science advisers, sweeping aside decades of research on the grave health risks of fine particle air pollution, have launched a drive to force the agency to give greater weight to a handful of contrarian studies that dispute the harmful effects of soot.
Particulate matter is the pollution caused by combustion, a mixture of solid and liquid droplets that forms in the burning of fossil fuels or wood. The health risks of particulate matter have been an underpinning of the EPA's cost-benefit analysis of a number of air pollution regulations, including those meant to address climate change, like the Obama administration's Clean Air Act.
The science is well-established—the World Health Organization estimates that there are 4.2 million premature deaths a year due to fine particle pollution, making it one of the leading environmental health risks globally. But allies of the fossil fuel industry have vigorously disputed the validity of fine particle pollution studies since they first emerged in the 1990s.
Significantly, the health damages from particle and other pollution coming from the combustion of fossil fuels have also been used by the EPA to justify controls on carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Controlling climate change has important co-benefits, the agency has reasoned. The Trump administration and its industry allies oppose this logic.
More Weight for 'Discordant' Claims?
The latest scientific dispute centers around the EPA's draft assessment of the science on particulate matter (PM), a comprehensive review that the agency is required by law to conduct every few years to update the state of the science on several key pollutants. EPA released its draft review last fall.
It affirmed the agency's previous findings that the science points consistently and overwhelmingly to a "causal relationship" between PM pollution and premature deaths. The assessment concludes the greatest risk is due to particles less than 2.5 microns in width, and that PM2.5 is associated with a range of cardiovascular and respiratory effects.
For the first time, the EPA concluded that the evidence was strong enough to show a "likely" causal relationship between long-term PM2.5 exposure and cancer, as well as nervous system effects. The EPA concluded, as it has in the past, that there is evidence of health risks even at extremely low levels of PM exposure.
Now, in a harshly worded draft review, the Trump administration's science advisors are blasting those findings as based on "unverifiable opinions" and lacking in scientific support.
The advisers are members of a seven-member panel called the Clean Air Science Advisory Committee. Although it is clear the members are not unified in their critique—individual members attached separate letters—the document calls for "substantial revisions" to EPA's assessment of PM, including giving more weight to what it called the "discordant" evidence among the 2,800 published studies cited in the EPA's 1,900-page science assessment.
"Substantial discordant and conflicting evidence remains ignored or unresolved," the Trump administration-appointed CASAC wrote, "leading to repeated assertions that the literature shows consistent and coherent positive associations when in fact it shows a mixture of positive and negative results."
When asked for comment on the critique, a spokesperson for the EPA said by email: "We appreciate the work of the CASAC and we will review the report."
Who Are New Committee Members Listening To?
The CASAC, now chaired by Louis Anthony "Tony" Cox, Jr., a Denver-based consultant, offers a few examples of the studies it wants to see the EPA give more weight to. Among them are studies that are authored, in fact, by Cox himself—whose clients have included the American Petroleum Institute, the tobacco industry and the chemical industry.
Other studies mentioned by the CASAC are by S. Stanley Young, a former pharmaceutical industry statistician based in Raleigh, N.C., who is an adviser to the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank that has led a years-long campaign to discredit climate science. Young is now also an EPA science adviser.
The CASAC also pointed to the work of James Enstrom, a Los Angeles epidemiologist who for years has questioned the health risks of particulate matter. A former tobacco industry researcher, Enstrom was a plaintiff in a 2016 lawsuit brought by the fossil fuel industry-funded Energy and Environment Legal Institute that challenged the makeup of the previous CASAC.
Many of the environmental scientists who were appointed to EPA's advisory panels had received funding from EPA at some point in their careers, which the Enstrom suit said was a conflict of interest. In 2017, Trump's first EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, made the same argument when he replaced scientific experts from the existing science advisory boards with new appointees—including a number of industry allies and consultants, like Cox and Young.
'CASAC Itself Lacks Necessary Expertise'
One scientist who was among those removed from the CASAC last year, H. Christopher Frey, an environmental engineer at the University of North Carolina, said the harsh science critique from the Trump administration-appointed committee comes amid "numerous major changes to the [air quality standards] review process that collectively undermine its quality, integrity and credibility."
"Most astonishing is the arrogant and insulting tone of this letter toward EPA scientific staff," Frey, a former chairman of the CASAC, said in an email to InsideClimate News. Frey dismissed as "patently absurd" the document's assertion that the EPA's approach on particulate matter was unscientific. "The statement is ironic given that the CASAC itself lacks necessary expertise," he said.
In fact, the CASAC recommended that it be given access to additional technical expertise in order to complete its review of EPA science on particulate matter. Two members of the CASAC called for the EPA to reconstitute a 20-member special review panel on particulate matter that EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler disbanded in October, just prior to the start of the peer review. That panel included experts in the science of particulate matter and health effects—expertise that is now missing on the CASAC. Although much of the science on the health risks of particulate matter is from large human studies, there are no epidemiologists on the current CASAC.
In one striking passage of its draft peer review, the CASAC said it is unable to reach consensus on the link between particulate matter and mortality—the "causality determination of mortality from PM2.5 exposure." Some members "are of the opinion that, although uncertainties remain, the evidence supporting the causal relationship between PM2.5 exposure and mortality is robust, diverse, and convincing," the document said. But other committee members think EPA should provide a better justification for its determination that there is a causal relationship between PM exposure and premature death.
Daniel Greenbaum, president of the Boston-based Health Effects Institute (HEI), a research institute that has conducted major studies on air pollution, said that he was surprised at that passage.
"Given that there is more than a decade worth of work now looking at the epidemiology, the toxicology, and a number of other things to see whether or not PM can contribute to mortality, there's pretty robust literature that says that," said Greenbaum. HEI has offered its own critiques of some aspects of EPA's assessment—for example, it does not agree with EPA's conclusion on nervous system effects. But HEI does not dispute EPA's fundamental conclusion on mortality risk. "By most standards, people would say that the evidence has strengthened over the last 20 years," Greenbaum said.
But Greenbaum noted that the committee's review document is only a draft. The CASAC has set a conference call for March 28 to discuss the document and the next steps before submitting its final recommendations to Wheeler. | <urn:uuid:a54f51c8-35db-47c5-ba52-e60821d1f6db> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://insideclimatenews.org/news/15032019/air-pollution-trump-epa-science-advisers-health-risk-fossil-fuel-chemical-tobacco-industry | 2020-08-04T00:40:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735836.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803224907-20200804014907-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.957422 | 1,643 | [

Weather forecasts have farmers “sweating” the upcoming cold weather. Here are a few thoughts and resources based on the forecast temperatures my weather app is suggesting for WI farmers as of Tuesday May 5th at 5 am. FYI: my title is courtesy of Disney+ (not an advertisement just a fact) and Princess Movie Marathons during Covid-19 lock-down.
First lets start with the wheat crop which in WI ranges from the tillering (F4) to jointing (F6) growth stages. Cold temperature would need to reach 24 degrees F or less for 2 plus hours before injury occurred. I just don’t see that happening in any major wheat growing region in WI this week so in short don’t fret the wheat crop.
Now let’s talk about soybean. I am cautiously optimistic that if the forecast temperatures hold, most of the soybean crop will in fact be #COOLBEANS, but will survive. My optimism lies in the Nowledge I received in an email from Dr. Jim Specht from UNL a few years ago (modified slightly by me for context). For the most-part, farmers in WI fall within the context of this email.
First of all 34F will not impact above-ground tissue. Second, tissue freezing does not even take place at 32F because cell cytoplasm has solutes in it – like a modest anti-freeze, which depresses freezing point of the tissue a degree or two less than 32F – thus air temps surrounding the tissue have to get to below 31 or 30F before tissue freezing can occur. Third, the soil surface is typically warmer than the air temperature (particularly when the soil is wet) and does not give up heat acquired during a sunny day as fast as the air does after sunset. In actuality, the interface between soil surface temp and the air temp near that soil surface will be closer to the soil temp than to the air temp which most peopled measure on thermometers viewable at their height (not at ground level). Biophysically, control of the soil temp over the air temp this is called the “boundary layer effect”). So don’t trust air temperatures read on thermometers unless you know what the air temperature near the soil surface was (put a thermometer on the soil surface where the cotyledons are and check it just before dawn (when the soil surface temp reaches its nadir for a 24-hour temperature cycle). Fourth, the cotyledons are a huge mass of tissue that are about 95% water. That big amount of water-filled tissue is hard to freeze unless the exposure to temps of 30F at the soil-air interface is many, many hours. Cotyledons will freeze faster (in fewer hours) but only if the soil surface temps get well below 30F (say 25F). The only concern I would have is when cotyledons are no longer closed and protecting the young stem tip. However, if that is in fact frozen off, the nodes to which the cotyledons are attached will regenerate TWO main stem tips. Not an ideal way to start the growing season, but better than having to replant (0.5 bu/ac loss per each day that soybeans are NOT in the ground on May 1). Text courtesy of Dr. Jim Specht (UNL)!
For additional information please view my YouTube video that discusses common early season emergence issues (including frost injury) and just in case the forecast was way off and we get hammered with colder than expected temperatures here is our replant article entitled:
FYI: Just so you know we practice what we preach (i.e. early soybean planting) the UW BeanTeam has 7 locations in the ground ourselves! | <urn:uuid:bce50732-7cbf-4637-a3fe-fce86ef83c94> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://coolbean.info/2020/05/05/mirror-mirror-wall-will-wheat-soybean-crop-freeze-fall/ | 2020-08-05T14:03:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735958.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805124104-20200805154104-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.954379 | 788 | [

Make your own Anti-Viral Tincture
This is information is in addition to all the recommended cautions, self distancing etc and in addition to any measure you can take to strengthen your immune system (which include, but not limited to: good food & exercise, keeping your mind and emotion calm and balanced and taking herbs and supplements). I recommend looking up "vitamin C mega dose" both to boost your immune system and to help heal if you get sick.
I am not a clinician. Use this information with the usual caution and common sense, especially if you are taking prescription medication. Herbs/drugs interaction is something that needs to be considered and I have no training to offer advice on that.
Here is a simple anti-viral tincture any one can make at home using two ingredients readily available on island:
Alder tree - use small branches
Alcohol (vodka, rum, whisky etc).
Here is an article by the herbalist Kiva Rose for those who wants to research it:
Also google: "Kiva Rose Alder" for other articles on Alder medicine.
According to Kiva, research has shown Alder tincture to help with SARS and other corona viruses. Like anything else, there is no experience yet specifically regarding COVID-19.
While I have not used Alder as anti-viral, I have used it for other purposes with great results and find the information and experience Kiva Rose share in the link above extremely interesting. It is very easy to make and use and tastes reasonably good. Most importantly Alder is very common on island and many people know how to identify it (also see photo).
Alder is also considered an Adaptogen which is a class of herbal remedies that mitigate the effects of stress on the body...
I have taken large doses of Alder tincture before (as anti-inflammatory and for colds/flu) as large as a dropper-full (about 1ml) every hour or even more frequent. To the best of my knowledge and experience overdosing on this tincture is not likely (but it may make you drunk).. though as always, use common sense and listen to your body.
The simplest way to make Alder tincture is to cut a few small branches into small pieces (1cm long or so) place in a jar and cover with an alcohol such as vodka and let sit for some days/weeks. The tincture will turn bright red over time. Strain the plant material before use. The ready tincture (strained or unstrained) will last years.
The usual time recommended for a tincture before it is ready to strain is about a month. However this is a rule of thumb only. The tincture will be good in days if required and if needed urgently you can make a decoction (strong tea by simmering the plant for some time) and use that. [also, if urgent I have some tincture ready I can share]
Notes on making the tincture:
The most medicinal part is the inner bark. I find that tincturing chopped small branches (containing outer bark, inner bark and hard wood) works really well and much easier than peeling the inner bark. [Do not use inner bark from the main trunk as it can kill the tree if done incorrectly and offer no additional benefit]
Any hard alcohol is equally good. I have used rum, vodka and whisky in the past and noticed no great difference in tincture quality. Do NOT use wine (it is too saturated already and will not work well as a tincture)
You will know you've done well when the alcohol will turn red and smell and taste differently.
I find the taste quite pleasant, although it is astringent and will feel a little tightening at the mouth. You can dilute in a little water if you don't like the taste.
Recommended dosage: 2-3ml , 3-5 times a day.
All the best, | <urn:uuid:95e23a54-0bbd-4cc2-89d5-9071d9ce353d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.madebyyulia.ca/alder | 2020-08-05T13:20:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735958.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805124104-20200805154104-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.940588 | 839 | [
