Alot has changed in those 7 yrs. I went from a young lady about to enter her 20s with the thought that I knew it all. Living on the high of new youth. Now I'm trying to hold on to the precious years of the remarkable late 20s while embracing the joy of being a mature woman. In 90 days I will marry a wonderful man and God willing have kids in the following years. Life is the present, the past, and the future.
I will embrace the beauty of life. | <urn:uuid:3136316a-12e7-4a60-a058-ef98b2d3afc8> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://lavinfamily.weebly.com/blog/10-yrs-at-a-glance | 2019-06-20T23:46:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.971365 | 106 | [

PAINESVILLE, Ohio -- With just days before the presidential election, Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner is making many quick stops in Ohio.
He is recognizing voters who are supporting the Romney-Ryan ticket.
Boehner spent some time at the Lake County GOP headquarters in Painesville on Saturday evening.
He thanked supporters and volunteers for all of their efforts this election season, but he stressed that nothing counts until Tuesday.
The Republican made sure to explain how he believes President Barack Obama hasn’t followed through on his promises over the last four years.
"He said he'd end the gridlock, and find ways to work across the aisle, but the only time he's ever worked across the aisle is when he was getting what he wanted," said Boehner.
Dozens of people in Painesville stood in support of Boehner’s view. Many also explained to FOX8 why they are supporting the Romney-Ryan ticket.
"We have over a trillion-dollar deficit, and that is due to the stimulus packages that were passed during his administration,” said Emmanual Guillory. “That overt spending took place to help the less fortunate but at the same time by giving more than we can afford, we are hurting more Americans than we are helping."
“I have a very strong belief in God and Jesus, and I think people are very disillusioned. We have a president who is a celebrity, who golfs more than he goes to church," said Jill Hovater. “It really hit home when Mitt Romney talked about his faith in God," she said.
Republicans in Ohio know that this is a swing state, and that’s why many are hoping the Get Out the Vote Bus Tour will make a difference.
Boehner talked about job creation and the fact that millions of Americans are still unemployed under Obama’s leadership.
The Speaker of the House is expected to make 13 stops across the state before Tuesday.
Romney himself will be in Ohio Sunday for a victory rally at the I-X Center in Cleveland. Doors open at 11:15 a.m., and the program is set to begin at 1:50 p.m.
The event is open to the public, but you must have a ticket.

There’s a lot of buzz about the possibility of a movie version of The Green Ember, but there is more to be excited about right now! I’m writing to say that my new book, Ember Falls (The Green Ember Book 2), is available for preorder from Amazon. It will ship September 13th! (Cool people say “drops.” Trust me, I heard someone in California who was certifiably cool say this.)
(Writing Tip: Use “very” ALL the time. Emphasize it with all-caps. Add dozens of exclamation points!!!! Congrats. You are a very gooder writer now.)
If you are a hard cover lover (<—weird word combo), you will be happy to hear that we’ll begin shipping The Green Ember in hard cover at Amazon for the first time on September 13th. You can preorder that now too.
Kickstarter backers, your books (and associated swag) are still on schedule for getting to you in mid-August. I think you’ll be happy with the abundance.
Fun fact: Did you know that the word “abundance” came from a culture of people called the Weenahrohstees who cherished hot-dogs above all other sustenance? In the great bun famine of 1973, they lamented. All these hot dogs and no buns. #Sad! Then a cargo ship carrying 800,023 hot dog buns wrecked and every one died. But the good news was that the buns survived and floated magically to the island of the Weenahrohstees. They had so many buns, they immediately ordered a huge, island-wide dance. It was called, you guessed it, the bun dance. For years after, they organized “a bun dance” on the anniversary of their windfall. That’s how we got our word, “abundance.” We went to the island, killed all the inhabitants, stole their hotdogs, and dragged off several of their favorite words (including “abundance”). #Winning
Speaking of shipments and death, it’s unbelievably nerve-wracking to wait for a first look at our books. Our first experience in printing The Green Ember has left us scarred and scared. The hard covers were nearly all askew and far below our standards and we ended up fighting with the printers about it for months. But, I’m very happy and relieved to say that Ember Falls looks amazing!
Andrew Mackay (publisher/cover designer/etc.) and Zach Franzen (illustrator and cover artist) did a magnificent job. I think this book looks even more attractive than The Green Ember. I’m so grateful!
I hope you will preorder a copy today and tell your friends about it. We just want to find those folks who read the first book and wanted more. It’s harder than you would think!
Here’s a suggested social media post to copy and paste, if you need some help:
Like me, many of you loved #TheGreenEmber, & now Book 2 is almost here! Ember Falls is available for preorder now! http://amzn.to/2aFa25h
Like me, many of you loved #TheGreenEmber by @SDSmith_. Now Book 2 is almost here! Preorder Ember Falls now! http://amzn.to/2aFa25h
Finally, I wrote something recently about my motivation for storytelling. It’s short and to the point. In case you missed it, I hope you’ll check it out: A Cathedral of Words.

blorb file, Sat 16th Jul 2011
By Ron - See all my reviews
The download is a blorb extension file. Can this be run using Adrift 5.0 on a Windows 7 64bit machine? If so, how? I would love to find a game that I can try with 5.0. Ron.
To update this question with an answer, let me share the email which I received from Campbell.
The Blorb upload is just a teaser really. It can't be played with ADRIFT 5 until I release 5.0.19 (which can import and export blorbs, to package image files with the game), which will be in the next week or two.
You can access the original TAF version of this adventure from here: http://forum.adrift.co/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7265

You have recently been treated to the debut trailer as well as the official release date for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, but now we have something even more exciting for you now – the world’s first gameplay video.
Jimmy Fallon has definitely got to be one of the world’s luckiest people, as he is officially the first person outside of the Naughty Dog developing team, to have a taste of some Uncharted 3 gameplay action before anyone else.
The latest episode of his live show on NBC had a special preview of the upcoming game, as Fallon also managed to get some questions in from Naughty Dog boss Evan Wells and another member of the dev team.
The short demo he managed to play shows off some action from one of the intense levels in the game, as main character Nathan Drake has to navigate his way through a French building which is in the midst of a huge fire which is starting to collapse at the same time.
It looks pretty stunning as you would expect, and you can tell that Fallon is pretty excited to be able to play it before anyone else. Just to remind you, the game is due out on PS3 on November 1st, 2011. Take a look at the clip below, courtesy of VG247, and let us know your thoughts of it.
In terms of gameplay, does it look better than Uncharted 2 to you? What are your thoughts on the ‘desert setting’ for the game? We’ll bring you new details as we get it. | <urn:uuid:088ac708-c663-4029-a0c9-88459814be01> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.product-reviews.net/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-first-gameplay-video-impressed/ | 2019-06-25T12:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999838.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625112522-20190625134522-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.984306 | 312 | [

“Aging is inevitable, looking younger is a choice.”
Wrinkles form with constant movement thus, by relaxing the muscle & causing atrophy the mountains flatten out. Tox℠ is used in areas such as the frown, forehead, crows feet, neck bands, and several small custom areas. Medical use for migraines, hyperhidrosis (severe sweating in the underarms) and Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ). Technically all botulinum toxins function the same way by medically treating certain muscular conditions and cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles. Read below about the three FDA approved neuromodulators.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
“BOTOX® Cosmetic was the first FDA-approved prescription product that temporarily improves the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and moderate to severe crow’s feet in adults.
Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, or damage caused by free radicals. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.
BOTOX Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet to form over time.
How does it work?
BOTOX is injected into the muscles that cause frown lines and crow’s feet lines, temporarily reducing the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines. Botox blocks the release of a substance called acetylcholine. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe wrinkles to form.
What is Dysport?
“Dysport™ is an FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer. From frown lines to crow’s feet, it can lift your spirits and improve your wrinkles at the same time. With a few tiny injections Dysport™ will take effect over a period of days to banish frown lines and many other telltale signs of aging.
Dysport™ (pronounced DIS-port) is a new form of botulinum toxin A, similar to Botox, but slightly different in several ways. It takes effect quicker and lasts longer and, for the time being, is priced at a very attractive cost to the consumer.”
What is Dysport used for?
“Dysport™ is used to smooth frown lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead, known as glabellar lines. Dysport™ can also smooth crow’s feet around the eyes.
What is Xeomin®?
XEOMIN® is a prescription medication used in facial aesthetics to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar frown lines between the eyes (glabellar lines) in adults. XEOMIN® contains botulinum toxin type A, a protein purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. XEOMIN® is also sometimes referred to as incobotulinumtoxinA.
How Does it Work?
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. These lines that occur due to facial mimics are referred to as dynamic lines. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines.
Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in XEOMIN® – is used in facial aesthetic treatment to treat dynamic lines like glabellar frown lines. It acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, XEOMIN® can temporarily reduce the frown lines on your forehead between your eyes.
Indications and Useage
XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) for injection, for intramuscular use, is a prescription medication that is injected into facial muscles for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines) in adult patients.
XEOMIN® should be administered no more frequently than every three months.
Some of the unique areas that Rita can treat:
Q: Will Tox℠ get rid of my wrinkles I see on the surface?
A: Not exactly. Botox, Dysport or Xeomin injections treat muscles that repeatedly contract, creasing and damaging the overlying skin and creating those lines and wrinkles. These products are injected into specific muscles where, within about 2 -10 days, they act to block the muscle’s contractions. The muscle quits pulling on the skin and begins to thin out or atrophy. The surface layer of skin sheds with time (quickly when we are young, not so quickly when we age i.e.. 7-8 weeks vs. a baby sheds skin almost weekly!) The new skin doesn’t have accordion effect of the push/pull of the muscle and appears smooth. This effect on the muscles lasts about 3 months, after which the normal muscle movement resumes and the creasing/damaging/wrinkling cycle restarts. This is it is recommended to retreat these areas about every three – four months to see continued skin improvement and prevent the damage cycle from restarting.
Q: “My wrinkles aren’t that deep… am I too young to start getting Botox, Dysport, Xeomin?”
A: A common misconception is that you should wait until you have wrinkles, then start treating them. Not the case! Truth is, once the skin has been damaged enough to form deep-set wrinkles, it becomes much more difficult to smooth and repair them. Some of these deeper lines may not fully improve, even after treating the area with Tox℠. This is where being proactive really pays off. By preventably treating the wrinkle-prone areas of your face before you start seeing deep creasing, you can prevent these deep wrinkles from ever forming or worsening. People often ask at what age they should start using Tox℠. There really is no magic number–I’ve seen patients in their 20s with deep lines & extremely strong muscle activity, as well as patients in their 40s with only fine wrinkles & not much movement. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to antiaging treatments. Each person’s face is unique! If you look in the mirror & it bothers you or if your friend/colleague asks what’s wrong (you LOOK mad or tired) but you feel just fine then it might be time to get treated.
Q: How come I still see lines around my eyes when I smile after treating my Crow’s Feet?
A: Botox , Dysport, Xeomin has been used to soften “crow’s feet,” or wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, but you still need to blink & smile so you can’t relax all of the muscles around the eye. The muscles that mechanically lift the lip when you smile also pulls up the cheek which may accentuate the wrinkles around the eye. So if you “wink” you will see the smoothing out affect from treating the crow’s feet. Filler may help occupy the lost volume which lessen the appearance of the cheek wrinkles along with the Tox℠.
Q: What happens with the side effect of “droopy eye” from Tox℠ treatment?
A: There is lid ptosis (droopy eye) and brow ptosis (droopy brow) that can occur from treatment. If the eyelid muscle is affected then the lid closes & it is difficult to open it. It will improve with time or an antihistamine eye drop may be needed (either over the counter or prescription eye drop may be indicated). A brow ptosis may be too much Tox℠ in the forehead causing a “heavy feeling” of not being able to “lift” your forehead. This will ease up with time. Possibly a Custom “brow lift” extra treatment may be needed. By following the post treatment “rules” usually most side effects can be avoided. (i.e.. no rubbing/manipulation of the treated areas, no lying down or heavy workouts for 4 hours after treatment). Also side effects are rare with experienced Practitioners that know the anatomy & have the skill of how much & where to treat.
Q: Will Tox℠ freeze my face and make me look “done”?
A: A skilled injector places Botox, Dypsort, Xeomin to relax only the targeted muscles that are causing wrinkles to form, while avoiding certain other muscles that we need for natural facial expressions like smiling. After the product takes effect in the targeted area, those wrinkle-causing facial expressions (think: scowling) will be softened, giving you a smoother, more youthful, but still natural look. When Botox first came out it was promoted that way, but not only is it impossible to “stay frozen” it is unrealistic. When it first was introduced we were treating & pricing by the area, then encouraged to treat by the unit and people were giving more & more…thus the body was requiring more to get the desired result. A drug like alcohol is a prime example that when a person keeps drinking more then they will require more to achieve the original “buzz.”
Q: Can you become resistant to Tox℠?
A: It is possible, but if treated with therapeutic dosing on regular intervals (not sooner than 3 months apart) then you should be fine. Sometimes when re “treating” with a touch up then there is also a possibility of “immunogenicity” by reintroducing the Tox℠ 2 weeks later. Once in awhile a touch up is required especially to correct asymmetries but it is not good to get into the habit of it.
Q: Does it Hurt & how long does it take?
A: Just a few “pinches” like a mosquito bite, but with adequate ice numbing much of it isn’t even felt. It only takes a few minutes.
Q: Will it be obvious when I leave the office, does it show right away?
A: A few red marks which diminish in 10 minutes after treatment. Possibility of bruising (stop blood thinners a few days before) can cover with makeup & take Arnica if proned to bruising. It takes 2-10 days to take effect. Most show no evidence and it eases on & eases off so other people won’t even notice. You will just look more refreshed, youthful and awake.
Q: Can I can get my Botox, Dysport, Xeomin treatment done anywhere?
A: These days you probably can get Tox℠ just about anywhere–the dentist, your OBGYN, your hair salon. So how to choose? A great Botox, Dysport, Xeomin result requires knowledge of the facial anatomy and aesthetic judgment in order to avoid a potential mis hap like lowered brows or uneven features. If not properly getting into the desired muscles the effect may not work or last as long. The best provider for your cosmetic and skin goals will have a natural eye for facial aesthetics as well as specialized training in cosmetic injection techniques with toxins. Experience trumps price & convenience so be sure your provider not only has the proper medical license credentials (M.D., PA or NP in the State of Florida) but specializes full time in aesthetic treatments for best results. | <urn:uuid:c6717747-a8db-4eaa-9e27-9b1aba934a45> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://ritamedicalelite.com/tox/ | 2019-06-26T15:55:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000367.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626154459-20190626180459-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.935455 | 2,469 | [

Hello fellow paleohackers.
I am 29, I practice Jiu Jitsu at least 3 times a week, I am in good shape, not overweight and have been paleo since October, LC probably between 50g and 100g of carbs.
Last December I got my blood tested and my TC and LDL were quite high.
TC 6.5 mmol/l = 251 mg/dl Triglycerides 0.7 mmol/l = 62 mg/dl HDL 1.4 mmol/l = 54 mg/dl LDL 4.8 mmol/l = 185 mg/dl
Lately I have also linked something I had been diagnosed for when I was a kid (histamine intolerance (HIT) causing severe urticaria), with some strange symptoms that I had nowadays (constant bloating, occasional diarrhea, sometimes hitching). I then started a low histamine version of my paleo diet which makes things much better (but it's quite annoying).
Now it seems that HIT is caused by low levels of diamine oxidase (DOA), which is a copper regulated enzyme. Jaminet in his book perfect health diet, suggests that the single most common cause of high LDL in low carb eaters is a copper deficiency.
I have now started supplementing copper and I am hoping to solve both issues. Anyone else in a similar boat? What are your thoughs?
It is hard to see if you are copper deficient from labs as far as I know.
Nevertheless if you supplement with a small amount of copper daily you don't even get as much copper as you would if you'd eat liver once a week. My plan is to try to eat more liver and supplement less anyway. Jaminet in fact advises to supplement copper, but not zinc in general.
These are best zinc sources: http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=115
These are best copper sources: http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=53
It's easy to see how a paleo diet is easily shifted towards having more zinc (i.e. beef) and being deficient in copper if you are not eating liver.
Some interesting studies relating copper deficiency and DOA deficiency: Plasma Diamine Oxidase Activity Is Greater in Copper-Adequate than Copper-Marginal or Copper-Deficient Rats ( http://jn.nutrition.org/content/130/1/30.short )

edit #3: Robb Wolf just answered my question on his latest podcast:
He thinks there could be a causation between high LDL (although he says my values are pretty much OK), and histamine intolerance as this could cause chronic inflammation and hence rise LDL cholesterol.

I'm a histadelic, and a mostly veggie diet keeps it well in check, and veggie diets are notorious for the copper load.
I've always thought that a vegetarian diet is just low in histamine (and histidine) in general, but maybe it does have something to do with copper also?
Btw, I get severely sick from offal like liver, and it's the same for other people I know with histamine problems as well, so I don't know about the connection with liver + copper.
It could also be the amount of folate too in liver, since folate is a big, big problem for histadelics, the mental problems associated with histadelia are sometimes even treated with blocking folate in the body. I am usually pretty stable mentally, but when supplementing with folate, for even a couple of days, I do go a bit "crazy".
The copper in liver does not seem to offset the problems of the histamine itself in liver, and also the folate of course.
And as for zinc; histadelia is treated with zinc, and b6, and it helps, so I don't know about the connection with the copper theory.

Ok, on my end this comment got really messed up. Order, appearance, everything. Not sure if it's my computer or the site, but hope you can decipher it... :)

Oh, and the other thing I should mention is that a lot of the foods that are highest in copper are also high histamine, which kinda complicates the whole increasing your levels through diet alone if you are having a histamine problem.,
The issue with serum copper and ceruloplasmin is still a bit debated, at least in regards to "sub-clinical" deficiency, and there is still the issue with reference ranges not being specific to gender. That would make more sense considering the fact that women need more copper than men do. If you read published studies on copper deficiency, most of the time it isn't discovered until after CBC's show anemia and/or neutropenia (if then). At that point, supplementation usually quickly corrects the blood profile, but by then there is often irreversible neurological problems. What I can tell you from my experience is this: my blood levels are all "in range" (though some, including serum copper, are "low normal"), but my neuro symptoms got so bad at one point that I went to the ER with facial twitching and left-sided numbness/weakness that was so bad I couldn't stand. I have had trouble maintaining a normal electrolyte balance, but supplementing with potassium didn't consistently help. I tried B-12, but that didn't do it either. Finally, when my acupuncturist clued me in that DAO, one of the enzymes that breaks down histamine, is copper dependent (along with B6 and vitamin c), I considered my history, including diet and supplementation, and decided (skeptically) to try supplementing with copper. Cautiously. My neuro symptoms have improved for the most part. I'm still having some digestive issues and difficulty eating without some kind of reaction, but it's better than it was. My blood pressure and blood sugar have also improved. Additionally, there is a very good way to check zinc status and you can do it yourself. I was actually extremely zinc deficient at one point, and had this verified with two other lab tests. Get a liquid zinc supplement/tally (amazon has a few different ones) and put a tablespoon in your mouth and hold it there. Count to 10. The longer it takes you to taste it, the lower your zinc levels. The first time I did that, I thought the dr. had given me water. Both spectracell and hair analysis showed low levels as well. I supplemented until I could taste it. Now, though, I taste it immediately and it's so strongly metalic I can't stand it. You have to be careful, though; liquid zinc is so effective at reducing copper levels that it is used to treat Wilson's Disease, which is a genetic problem in which the body retains too much copper. The two minerals do tend to see-saw, and in my experience, hair analysis, which gives a picture over about a 3 month period and is gender and age specific, is the better way to go on that. The last time I did it, which was a follow up after supplementation, they actually told me to supplement a little bit of copper for a month because it was getting low, and I didn't have any symptoms at that point, but did fine with it. I want to do it again asap, because I feel like I'm flying a bit blind at this point but don't have the money right now. It doesn't seem to be as easy to tip the balance back by using copper to lower zinc for some reason. Probably because you do need more of the latter, and food sources that are higher in copper are also usually higher in zinc.
I've done quite a bit of nutritional research on nutritiondata.self.com and put together a soup that I seem to tolerate pretty well and I usually feel the best on the days I eat it: homemade duck soup (with the whole duck boiled first, broth, meat, and liver used in the soup) with onions, garlic, carrots, turnips, celery, green beans, and asparagus. Duck is higher in copper, lower in zinc, and is one of the few meats that is mildly - moderately anti-inflammatory. And everything else seems to be ok with the histamine thing and it doesn't raise my blood sugar too much.

There is actually some discrepancy about the copper/zinc and histamine question, and it may be different for different people, especially between men and women. Women need more copper and men need more zinc (though both are essential). They usually see-saw, so if you're high in one you'll usually be low in the other.
I have read, though that zinc (esp liquid forms) reduce copper more efficiently than the other way around. The Weston Price Foundation has a lot of information on mineral balance and traditional diets, and indicates that high histamine also indicates low copper, but copper in particular can be difficult to test for.
dotslady, did you ever have a hair analysis? Blood tests and urinalyses aren't the best way to test minerals, especially the trace minerals (and yes, I'm familiar with both Spectracell and Nutra-eval). Sometimes it's a question of bioavailability rather than a total amount of a mineral.
A lot of people DO have a copper toxicity/zinc deficiency problem; that tends to be more common. I had that at one time. In my case, though, liquid zinc caused a copper deficiency and I supplemented for a while. Years after changing my diet and after my 2nd baby in 2 years (I also have 6 older children), I apparently gradually and unintentionally knocked my copper levels too low.
I'd never had most of the classic histamine-related symptoms, unless it was temporary, mild, and corrected itself. But I haven't been healthy since having my last child. EVERY symptom I've had, including the histamine problem, has also been copper related (according to many many published studies.
I was nervous about supplementing, and still don't know if I'm taking enough (I'm sure I'm not taking too much). Copper is involved in blood sugar regulation, blood pressure regulation, collagen and elastin (including in your gut), vein/artery integrity, cholesterol metabolism, mast cell population/degranulation, etc, the synthesis and breakdown of neurotransmitters, adrenal hormone production, thyroid regulation, and even nerve function/myelination (I was having peripheral neuropathies as well, mimicking B-12 deficiency, which I had tested and was higher than normal)... There are enzymes (DAO is one of them) that are copper dependent. So you can have a low amount of DAO OR you can have a sufficient amount of DAO that's not as active as it should be because of a copper deficiency (which can explain why some people can have a histamine intolerance but not low copper).
Right now I am supplementing with a small amount of copper gluconate (chelated) - 2.5 mg/day; upper tolerable limit from what I've found is 10 mg. I've read that you shouldn't supplement more than 5 mg/day without a doctor's supervision (yes, it's possible to get too much). The problem is I haven't had a very good test for it yet, and I haven't found a doctor who knows enough about it to guide me. I've had some improvement with some symptoms (especially the peripheral neuropathy; at one point I was twitching and so weak on my left side I couldn't stand), others seem to go in cycles, and then sometimes other symptoms get worse or appear. So the copper may not be the only issue, but I'm fairly certain it's a significant part of the picture.

I'm just going to add that I've got HIGH copper, LOW zinc tested via urinalysis and also Spectracell intracellular blood test; and I have histamine intolerance. I just did a Nutra-eval via Genova labs and look forward to results in a couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted if you want.
I also have high LDL but I'm wondering if it's because of a cytochrome P450 detox problem (Phase 1)? I've had Cyrex Array 5 which showed equivocal antibodies (to cytochrome P450, and also according to my genetic results I'm a "slow" caffeine metabolizer. http://1.usa.gov/15EkSN9 I have a polymorphism in my CYP1A2 gene. (Re: slow caffeine metabolism and heart attack risk: I've also had a heart attack even a month after having given up caffeine/coffee. I think because of my histamine load; this was because I didn't understand histamine yet!) Just My Experience.
Edit to add: I don't have the MTHFR gene defect, but I do have other methylation cycle polymorphisms according to 23andme genetic results. From this I have learned that I should defer from sulphur foods, avoid B6 and more. I was doing opposite, so I'm doing another about-face with the diet.

Copper is present in about 21 different enzymes, and its importance has been known since 1928.
For example, one important enzyme is histaminase, which breaks down histamine. So all allergic people, who overproduce histamine, certainly need to ensure that they have normal copper levels.

I just had blood work done by SpectraCell Laboratories. It analyzes these:
I came back deficient in:
I came back borderline in B12, Pantothenate, Choline, Insulin, Fructose, Spectrox Immunidex.
Though an insanely long elimination diet with repeated food challenges, I've concluded my problem is likely Histamine Intolerance. The 5 minute long sneezing fits when I eat a variety of foods high in histamine seem pretty straight forward. However, I wasn't 100% sure if the severe muscle cramping, tension headache, brain fog and sometimes migraines were related to histamines, or something else. When I googled "histamine intolerance" and Copper, I found your post.
Interestingly, the discussion which came with the lab results mentioned that folates are required for "metabolism of methionine, histidine, tryptophan, glycine, serine and formate." Is histidine metabolized into histamine? If so, I'm a bit concerned about supplementing with folate. However, I'm starting on chromium. copper & b12 today.
It would really be great if the root cause of my apparent histamine problem was really a mineral deficiency.
In any event, these lab results give me a bit of optimism, and some some objective measurements which I hope can help me dial in my diet. Through my diet eliminations, I have a much better understanding of food and its effect on me. I now know that eating cheddar cheese 3 meals in a row will provoke a blinding migraine. BTW, 3 years ago, I was getting about 24 migraines per year. In the last year, I had only 3 (all were after cheese and/or yogurt).
BTW, How do you do eating liver?
As to your concern about cholesterol:
I just had my first cholesterol test after going Paleo. I'll be reviewing the VAP scores with my Paleo Doctor (I found him on the Paleo Physicians Network). Here are the common #'s:
Total Cholesterol: from 196 -> 260
HDL: from 36 ->52
LDL from 144 to 192
Tri 82 to 121
Tot Chol / HDL from 5.44 to 5.17
Tri / HDL from 2.28 to 2.33
LDL / HDL from 4 to 3.69
Here's the VAP Stuff:

The 1948 communist takeover of Czechoslovakia remains a trauma for many Czechs today. Could the country’s fall under Soviet domination have been prevented? Why did Czechoslovak politicians of the era so severely underestimate the threat of communism? These are some of the issues discussed in a new biography of the politician Prokop Drtina, one of the key figures of the brief period between the end of the war and the start of the communist regime.
The signature tune of the BBC’s war-time Czechoslovak broadcasts, a voice of freedom for many people in their-Nazi occupied country. One of the most popular commentators who appeared on the airwaves was Prokop Drtina, under the pseudonym of Pavel Svatý, or Paul Saint. Here is rare footage of Prokop Drtina addressing Czechs and Slovaks back home sometime in 1941.
After the Czechoslovak government in exile returned from London in 1945, Prokop Drtina went on to become a key member of the country’s pro-democracy forces, aligned with the Communists in a fragile coalition that ultimately ended in the communist coup of February 1948, followed by 40 years of totalitarianism. Prokop Drtina attempted suicide, and eventually spent 12 years in communist jails.
Historian Ondřej Koutek is the author of Drtina’s first ever biography entitled Prokop Drtina: The Fate of a Czechoslovak Democrat. He explains what made him study the life and work of the popular politician.
“In this history of Czechoslovakia, which was very short, only 80 eighty years, there are not that many politicians who would be so important for the development the Czechoslovak state, and who would at the same time be interesting on the personal level. Drtina was not an ordinary politician as we know them today; he was really devoted the Czechoslovak state and its idea.”
Prokop Drtina was a leading member of the National Socialist Party, a significant group that shaped pre-war Czechoslovakia’s political scene, and had close ties to the country’s second president Edvard Beneš. Ever since the atrocities committed by German National Socialists, or Nazis, during the war, the name of the movement has very sinister connotations. The Czech and the German National Socialist movements had similar roots and shared an accent on nationalism, but the Czech movement was naturally very different from the Nazi party. Ondřej Koutek explains.
“They were devoted to ‘Czechoslovakianism’; they believed that Czechs and Slovaks were only one nation. It was important for Czechoslovakia in that period because there were only some eight million Czechs and two million Slovaks; the rest were large German, Hungarian, Polish, Ukrainian, Jewish and other minorities. So the state was very difficult to manage, given the size of the minorities. And it was probably the main reason why this nationalism was so important.”
By the outbreak of the Second World War, Prokop Drtina, a native of Prague, was a close collaborator of President Edvard Beneš, and a friend of his. Mr Koutek says this was indeed a rare occurrence.
“Prokop Drtina became his personal secretary. It was the start of an interesting relationship between Drtina and Edvard Beneš because President Beneš did not really have many personal friends or colleagues; he would always let’s say lecture everyone around him. He wanted to educate everyone he was with, and that was not very popular with other people. So I’d say Prokop Drtina was one of very few people who could be considered Beneš’ friends – although perhaps not in the typical way.”
On his way from a presidential aide to one of the most significant members of the Czechoslovak post-war government, Prokop Drtina spent most of the war-time years in London where he continued to work as Beneš’ close collaborator. This had a crucial significance for his post-war political career.
“This was another important moment because he joined Beneš in his London exile, and he became his political aide there. He also started his career as a BBC speaker. He was very popular on Czech territory, known as the Protectorate, as a speaker. He used his own code name – Pavel Svatý – which he originally used to protect his family here, but soon everyone knew who that was.”
Prokop Drtina’s regular commentaries broadcast by the BBC to the occupied territory became very popular back home. Drtina in fact escaped to London after living in the Protectorate for a year, and his experiences struck the right cord with his listeners.
“For one year, he lived in the Protectorate and he knew what life there was like. He knew what people felt. That was the main reason. But he was also very educated; he knew a lot about Czech history and traditions, he was a great fan of Czech music for example, and all these aspects were present in his addresses. These were the things people back at home wanted to hear.”
While in London, President Beneš and the Czechoslovak government in exile made some crucial decisions that affected the future of the country for decades, and are in fact felt even now. One of them was the decision to expel Czechoslovakia’s German-speaking minorities in retaliation for them having embraced Nazism. Ondřej Koutek says that for the most part, Drtina shared the views of President Beneš.
“I think that in this period, his opinions were very similar to those of President Beneš. There was one controversy between them but it was not related to the issue of the Soviet influence but rather to the issue of Czech and Slovak relations.
“In 1944, Prokop Drtina went to Slovakia during the Slovak National Uprising and he saw with his own eyes what was happening. Slovakia was an independent state, and he saw that Slovaks wanted to be Slovaks, not Czechoslovaks. They wanted to be part of Czechoslovakia without having to become Czechoslovaks.”
Another issue had to do with the country’s future relations to the Soviet Union; some historians argue that the 1943 agreement between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union paved the way for the communist domination.
“He shared those concerns but he believed that the Soviet influence was only temporary. He in fact thought the same of Czechoslovakia’s Communist Party. He believed the post-war years was only a revolutionary period, and when it was over, Czechoslovakia would return to a normal democratic life.
“But he was not the only one with such illusions; all the non-communist politicians thought they would be able to handle the situation, they thought it would be possible to win the elections and that the Communists would gradually become a small party that would present no threat for Czechoslovak democracy.”
Some politicians, particularly those affiliated with non-socialist parties, realized the danger the Soviet Union and its fifth column within Czechoslovakia, the Communist Party, presented for the future of their country. Prokop Drtina had been to Moscow on several occasions and had first-hand experience with the Soviet regime. But Ondřej Koutek says that Drtina, just like President Beneš himself, was too naïve when dealing with the Soviet dictator.
“He was there in 1944, 1945 and for the last time in 1947 when he was a member of the Czechoslovak delegation that met with Stalin to hear that the country should not join the Marshall Plan. So he was there several times and I think he saw the situation in the right perspective. But I think he was mistaken about Stalin himself.”
Drtina along with his colleagues were apparently deeply impressed by the dictator even though Stalin’s opposition to Czechoslovakia’s joining the US Marshall Plan was a clear signal that the country’s independence was at risk.
“He was very surprised by Stalin. The Soviet leader was very amusing and friendly with Czechoslovak politicians. He simply knew how to charm whoever he wanted, and make them feel he wanted them on his side.”
After the exile government left London and returned to Prague – characteristically via Moscow – Prokop Drtina became the justice minister, and oversaw the trials with Nazis and Nazi collaborators. Prokop Drtina was ultimately responsible for many judicial errors and even judicial murders, but he was still criticized by left-wing extremists for being too soft.
This was an argument the Communists used very skilfully to their advantage. Along with other non-communist politicians, Prokop Drtina made the mistake of not recognizing a real threat, preparing for the previous war - as the saying goes.
“They believed that Germany was still the main enemy, rather than the Soviet Union. That was a serious mistake by this political wing, and I think the Communists knew very well how to turn this argument to their advantage.”
The Communists won the general elections in 1946, and Drtina was a minister in a government run by the communist prime minister, Klement Gottwald. With a clear mission and backed by the Soviet Union, they worked little by little to dismantle democracy in Czechoslovakia that had already been mutilated by the expulsions of Sudeten Germans and limitations imposed on its political life.
“The Communists were very good at getting power, although not at using it. But they knew exactly what they were doing, and I think Prokop Drtina and his political collaborators very seriously underestimated them. Drtina and his colleagues were responsible for the end of the pre-communist regime because they helped the Communists to win their coup.”
During the coup in February 1948, Prokop Drtina was high on the communist hit list. He made preparations for exiting the country like many of his colleagues and friends; but his plans failed and Prokop Drtina saw only one way out. Three days after the new, communist-controlled government took office, Drtina jumped out of the window of his Prague villa in an attempt to kill himself.
“I think it was a demonstrative suicide. He wanted to show that he couldn’t live in the new regime, and thought that his death would show the people that something was wrong. But he was also scared; he was under the supervision of the communist secret police; he feared being arrested, and he thought that death was a solution.”
Prokop Drtina was taken to hospital and a later to jail. He was sentenced to 25 years, and spent 12 of them in prison. After his release in 1960, Drtina wrote his extensive memoirs and three years before his death in 1980, he supported the human rights manifesto Charter 77.

E3 changed format dramatically in 2007, changing dates and venues and restricting attendance to "invitation only," and the results weren't pretty. Exhibitors and journalists alike came away dissatisfied and the show generated none of the "buzz" of previous years. In 2008 the situation got worse as various high-profile companies declined to take part in the show or parted ways with the ESA entirely; other events, meanwhile, like Leipzig and the Penny Arcade Expo quickly eclipsed the gelded E3 in the hearts and minds of gamers.
In response, the ESA announced that the 2009 show would be "the must-attend event of the year," with bigger booths, increased audience size and an expanded number of exhibitors. Specifics were a bit hazy but Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said the 2009 show would be "the pre-eminent North American gaming show... better for industry leaders and for serious gamers," while Ubisoft's Laurent Detoc went even further, claiming it would be the first "real E3" since 2006.
But with the show rapidly approaching, ESA Chief Executive Michael Gallagher has said that despite the upgrades, the new E3 won't be like the old E3. "I came aboard one month before the first of the small shows. The Santa Monica event was really my first exposure to the industry in a broader way - I had never been to any of the prior E3s," he told GameDaily. "Last year we made some improvements based upon the input we received, but this show is not a return to the old E3."
"It is definitely much more reflective of the energy, excitement and creativity of our industry, but I wouldn't say it's our first 'big E3' or a return to the old one," he continued. "It's a show based upon what the industry needs to project as an image of the excitement we have in the pipeline for the rest of the year. It's the right show; it's not a particular reference to any prior year."
Gallagher said over 200 companies would have their wares on display and predicted an attendance of around 40,000. "It's going to be a lot more high energy and that's precisely what the industry needs right now," he said. | <urn:uuid:c95cd7fe-0b38-46c6-80a8-596b25fb1ccb> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/91860-ESA-Chief-New-E3-Wont-Be-Like-Old-E3 | 2019-06-17T14:14:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998475.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617123027-20190617145027-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.975815 | 465 | [

Three police officers instigated a highly invasive search of a Texas woman after suspecting her of possessing marijuana. While the officers have yet to be punished for their actions, dashcam footage of the incident is causing an uproar as people demand the men face charges.
Two years ago, officers in Harris County, Texas pulled over a 21-year-old female college student for running a stop sign, and then said they could smell marijuana in her car. After the officers searched the woman's clothing and finding nothing, they slammed the woman onto the ground and began a strip search. The search lasted 11 minutes and ended with the officers charging the woman with resisting arrest and possession of 0.02 ounces of marijuana.
The entire search was caught on the one of the officers' dashcam. The footage was sent to a local news channel recently, who released clips from the video and recharged the debate.
Prior to pulling the woman over, another person in the officers' custody heard one of the cops say, "Oh we are going to find something, even if we have to put our hands on her."
A Harris County prosecutor criticized the strip search, but said that there was nothing illegal or wrong with what the officers did. After dropping charges for two of the three officers earlier this month, the prosecutor said she's currently in possession of new evidence and looking to indict the officers again.
But putting that person with 0.02 ounces of weed sure made a big dent in the War on Drugs! | <urn:uuid:a6c78378-c17a-489e-8864-fc71f9cccff4> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.civilized.life/articles/invasive-search-texas-police/ | 2019-06-17T13:42:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998475.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617123027-20190617145027-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.973023 | 302 | [

Synopsis for "Ask Me No More Questions and I'll Tell You No More Lies! (Shatterstar Saga, Pt. 3)"
An unnamed family watches television. This station is controlled by the megalomaniac Mojo. The family is stuck watching till the end of the show and is giving their life essence to him by continuing to watch mindlessly.
Cable and Shatterstar stand together among the hordes of Mojo's warriors. They are in a future land that Mojo has built in a digitized world. They are pawns in his game and Shatterstar has had enough. He fights his way through Mojo's warriors and see Mojo off in the distance. He runs at him and just as he jumps to kill him, he instead is gutted. The screen flashes. Mojo is controlling this digitized station from a local Vermont television station on Earth. He laughs at the death of Shatterstar.
X-Force is stunned at the death of Shatterstar and have no way to help since he is stuck in Mojo's world. Then, Spiral appears and offers her assistance. She states that both Longshot and Siryn must help get Shatterstar to safety. Though they do not believe her. Suddenly, Mojo's forces break into the palace and Spiral teleports both Longshot and Siryn into the digitized reality. Rictor tries to jump into the portal after them but misses. Caliban turns and sees on the television that Spiral, Longshot and Siryn all made it. Mojo loses his signal on Earth.
Spiral teleports Cable, Shatterstar, Longshot and Siryn to the Weisman Institute. They head inside and are blocked by Dr. Weisman. Cable uses his telepathy on her to control her into letting them by. They run to the bedside of Benjamin Russell with Shatterstar's body. Spiral tells Longshot that he knows what he must do and he uses his powers to put Shatterstar's soul inside Benjamin Russell's body. The transfer works and Benjamin Russell wakes up when suddenly Mojo appears. Longshot tries to attack and Spiral teleports them all away.
They appear inside Mojo's palace and as they hit the ground, Cable tells Caliban to destroy the television that imprisoned them to make sure that Mojo does not follow them. He does and Mojo, on Earth, is sucked out of reality. The station tower on Earth explodes. X-Force then convenes outside and determines that they need to go back home now that the threat has passed. Elsewhere, the Gamesmaster laughs.

Best known for his arena-caliber EDM and bombastic bass drops, Los Angeles-born DJ-producer Dillon Francis has a long and storied history with Latin music. He began releasing mostly dubstep tracks in 2010, when the then-nascent moombahton genre — which combines electro-house with Latin-tinged reggaeton beats — first took the Internet by storm. Francis then notched his first major hit in 2011 via “Que Que,” a Spanish-language track alongside mentor and frequent collaborator Diplo, featuring Dominican-American artist Maluca. Fast-forward to 2018, and Francis has reached the cusp of a new career chapter: Dillon Francis, Latin pop crossover star.
September 28th sees the release of Wut Wut, Francis’ second full-length project and his first (mostly) Spanish-language album. Executive produced by Mexican EDM vet Toy Selectah, Wut Wut features a cast of collaborators from across the Latin pop spectrum including Ximena Sariñana, iLe of Calle 13 fame, Lao Ra, De La Ghetto and others. As the follow-up to his 2014 debut, Money Sucks, Friends Rule, the new album sees Francis expanding his production palette into sounds sweeping pop radio: from his moombahton roots on the club-ready “BaBaBa” featuring Young Ash, to rugged Latin trap on “Ven” featuring Arcángel and Quimico Ultra Mega.
Recorded in New York City, Miami, Mexico City and the Dominican Republic, Wut Wut comes during the height of today’s Latin pop explosion, which has shepherded multiple crossover hits across mainstream genres. EDM is one of the latest industries to ride the Latin pop wave: Steve Aoki’s track, “Azukita,” features reggaeton king Daddy Yankee, Latin trap duo Play-N-Skillz and merengue icon Elvis Crespo; while David Guetta‘s new album, 7, features two tracks with J Balvin, including the Spanish-language “Para Que Te Quedes.”
But as Francis puts it, Wut Wut is no basic bandwagon fare. Rather, it’s his way of paying homage to the sounds that gave him everything. “Latin music is a part of what I do,” he tells Rolling Stone. “I’ll never not be making moombahton.” Rolling Stone spoke with the American producer about his latest venture into Latin pop and Latin music’s ongoing influence on his career.
First of all, you grew up in L.A. Do you speak Spanish?
Uhhh … más o menos (more or less). [Laughs]
So then there’s a potential that you don’t know what the singers are singing about on your new album.
Yes, but there’s a reasoning behind it. Whenever I would get in the studio with anyone that spoke English, anytime they would ask me for any advice, I would give them the most horrible advice on what to sing. When I got in the studio with most of the people [for Wut Wut], they would tell me what they’re talking about and then I would say, “Hey, can you sing it this way?” Rather than telling them what to sing about, it would just be more like melody and production, so it was more of using their voice like another instrument.
What were some of your earliest memories with Latin music, especially for someone like you who grew up in Los Angeles?
I definitely remember the Cadillacs from Training Day just blasting reggaeton. I feel like that was like the most cliché thing to happen in Los Angeles, just an amazing lowrider playing a Daddy Yankee song or something. Growing up in West L.A., you just hear it all the time. But I never really deep dove into the music until I found this dude Munchi‘s music on SoundCloud. That was when I was starting to become a music producer. Then I started seeing this little tag called “moombahton.” When I started hearing it, I was like, “Oh my God!” I’m trying to DJ, I don’t know what tempo this is. It just sounds incredible — I need to see what’s happening. I had a house record called “Masta Blasta” … I put it up on SoundCloud, I sent it to Munchi. I was like, “Alright, this is the genre for me.” There [were] no rules yet and the community was so tight because there [weren’t] a lot of producers doing it. That’s really where I started deep diving into the sounds and everything with it.
The album has a long history, dating back to the 2016 Latin Grammys where you met De La Ghetto and Latin alternative producer El Guincho. How does the initial sketch of Wut Wut compare to the final product?
[Originally], we weren’t even going to get a lot of vocals on it. It was gonna be like one-shots in Spanish, like doing “Get Low” in Spanish. We hit up Toy Selectah. He got a bunch of one-shots, but he also got a bunch of verses from people. From that, it kind of just started turning into something else. There [were] no expectations. The whole record was just to go have fun again and have a great time making music.
Even before that, Wut Wut traces back to your 2011 Westside! EP, which features “Que Que,” one of your biggest moombahton hits and one of your earliest Spanish-language tracks. What’s the connection between Westside! and Wut Wut?
The record “BaBaBa” with Young Ash [off Wut Wut] is the closest record to what “Que Que” was when I was making it. I’ve made songs like “Anywhere” and “Coming Over” [with Kygo], where they have more melodic sensibilities. It was taking that and trying to put it into a project that actually is cohesive. If you listen to my last album, that is the most non-cohesive project ever. That’s where I was like, “I need to focus and make everything sound like they actually exist in one project.” That’s what I felt like I did with Wut Wut, where it was like honing in on everything that I’ve learned in the past 10 years of touring and making music and trying to make a cohesive album that has a great concept.
Are you now noticing an EDM-Latin pop crossover trend?
I guess so. I’m not trying to say, “Hey, I’m the first one that was doing it before it became a thing.” But I’ve been doing it since 2012, and I was just kind of going back to it. When we were working on [Wut Wut], “Despacito” and “Mi Gente” didn’t exist yet. Neither did “Sorry” with Justin Bieber, which I feel like was a big catalyst. A lot of my fans will always be like, “It sucks that moombahton’s dead.” And it’s funny because every single pop record in the past year has been a reggaeton/moombahton record, with like a melodic vocal drop. If anything, it’s like the most thriving genre possible right now. Mine was just going back to having fun and working with artists that I thought were just going to heighten the project and understand what the project was.
So this album is in no way hopping on the bandwagon of the Latin pop explosion?
I never really wanted to say that, but I feel like people could see that if they look at my history of music. But [before] I put out the first record [off the album], “Ven,” I had literally cleared out my Instagram to two things: a picture with Arcángel from back when we worked on the record and then the other one was a video with Toy Selectah and I in the studio with De La Ghetto and El Guincho working on the records, and it was [dated] like November 4, 2016. So I was trying to lightly do that. [There have] definitely been people calling me out, being like, “Dude, you’re jumping on the bandwagon, man. You’re trying to be like ‘Despacito.'” If you listen to the album, none of it sounds like “Despacito.” It literally all sounds like my music.
Your brand and your image have been tied to a lot of aspects related to Latin culture, from your history with moombahton to your social media character, Gerald the Piñata. You even brought out a mariachi band at Lollapalooza earlier this year. Have you ever faced any backlash from the Latin community or other groups for using such staples of their culture?
No. It’s pretty nuts that I haven’t, to be honest. When I was in Mexico promoting “We the Funk” [featuring singer Fuego], everyone was like, “Thank you so much for making music in Spanish, thank you for pushing the music.” That’s really what the whole project was about: to show people where I originally got [inspiration] from. Moombahton is reggaeton meets dance music, and that’s why I wanted to work with Spanish [-language] artists, so that people could understand that this is where the music came from. So if anything, I’m just trying to give back to where a lot of my success came from.
When you look back, what role would you say moombahton and Latin music have had on your overall career?
I’ve always gone back to it. I like taking a break from it because I do produce it so much. But I always want to try to bring something fresh back when I go into it, because it’s such a fun [sound]. It’s one of those things where [if] it’s just the perfect setting, it goes off.
Will we see more Latin albums or Spanish-language albums from you in the future?
Latin music is a part of what I do. I’ll never not be making moombahton. And I’ve definitely been working with other artists as well, where it’s working on records just for them to put out. I’m definitely gonna be doing a lot more production stuff for Latin artists, which is something I never thought that people would be coming to me for. | <urn:uuid:e0eba87a-2fc5-4425-ad54-5ac57def8a13> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-latin/dillon-francis-spanish-language-album-wut-wut-interview-725941/ | 2019-06-18T17:28:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998808.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618163443-20190618185443-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.971554 | 2,329 | [

Japan is one of the oddest place in the whole world with a unique convergence of circumstance, tradition and technology. The Feudal samurai ideals has managed to combine with some of the most advanced technologies while it remains to be the only country with living survivors of the atomic bomb disaster. Even though Japan plays host to one of the best economies on earth, its culture is one thing that outsiders have failed to understand. Here are some of the aspects of this culture that most people would consider strange, this ranges from sexual practices to the snacks they eat.
The Japanese population contradicts the earth’s population because instead of growing it is reducing because of the outdated infrastructure. The major cause of this is the hikikomori. This is a problem that mostly affects the young in the society and they tend to completely withdraw from the outside world. The causes include massive academic pressure and the rising of the internet.
Low Crime Rate
Apart from the legends of the Yakuza, criminal activities in Japan are at their minimum. This is partly due to the strict laws that do not allow ownership of handguns and ceremonious swords without registration. However, the rate of conviction is very high since almost everyone standing trial ends up in jail. Capital punishment is allowed in Japan with death row inmates only being informed about their fate hours before they are killed.
Most of the snacks eaten by the Japanese always seem to contradict with those from the western. The Kit Kat chocolate is a famous snack owing to its similarity in name with the phrase “kitto katsu”. It is normally eaten by students before sitting for their exams as a sign of luck.
The KFC Tradition
Even though the Japanese are known to stick to healthy diets including rice and tofu with vegetables they have a weakness for American food. This includes the Kentucky Fried Chicken, which are found in almost every corner in the major cities. It has become a tradition to eat chicken on every Christmas Eve and the Japanese would be found in long queues in KFC every 24th December.
One of the things that rarely happens all over the world is dying alone, but in Japan it is a common occurrence. This is because most of the elderly population ends up dying in their home. This is a big issue as some of them can go undiscovered for months or years. This phenomenon is what is known as kodokushi. There are several companies that have specialized in cleaning apartments in which such misfortunes have occurred.
The culture in Japan is very strict when it comes to issues such as pornography. This is the reason why even though hardcore sex can be filmed in Japan the sexual organs of the participants are always kept out of sight by censoring them. This has made the directors in the porn industry to resort to showing the fluids that result from sex as proof that the participants were engaging in the act. This trend is known as the ‘bukkake’.
This is a unique game that combines slot machines with pinball. It is basically a machine that stands upright and the player has to shoot balls that will come down through some pins in series. In case the ball ends up in the right spots then more balls will be produced. Despite gambling being an illegal activity in japan, the winners are always awarded according to their scores.
The Double Tooth Smile
This is a weird trend in which the young women get double tooth in order to give their smile a crowded appearance. The trend is known as yaeba. It is a bizarre thing especially since kids all over the world are being forced to wear braces to have straight teeth. The good thing is that it is reversible.
High Suicide Rate
The rate of suicidal cases being reported in Japan is surprising high while they have very few cases of homicides. Suicide was considered an honorable way of protecting the family’s reputation but this attitude is slowly changing.
The Working Nation
The Japanese are known worldwide for their industrious nature. However the beer industry is also making its mark in Japan. This can be seen in the drinking competitions usually done as a symbol of the Japanese business class. They don't have to worry about hangovers since taking a nap at the place of work is not that bad. It is considered to be something done by hardworking employees to ‘recharge their batteries’. | <urn:uuid:20f838fe-592f-4fe6-9580-8d5616722174> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://lerablog.org/general/society-culture/bizarre-aspects-of-the-japanese-culture/ | 2019-06-19T21:52:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999041.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619204313-20190619230313-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.977842 | 878 | [

Weekly photographer Sebastián Hidalgo attended the last Increase the Peace campout—youth-led anti-violence demonstrations across the South Side—of the summer. On August 4, dozens gathered outside of St. Michael’s Church in Back of the Yards for games, music, and food to celebrate the community center’s reopening after over ten years.
This year’s sixth annual Slow & Low: Community Lowrider Festival drew thousands to Pilsen on Sunday, August 6. Lowriders—customized classic vehicles that drive low to the ground—originated in Los Angeles, but here in Chicago they come with a lifestyle devoted to family and community.
Eighteenth Street Development Corporation’s (ESDC) eighth annual Mole de Mayo Festival was held from Friday, May 26 to Sunday, May 28, in Pilsen. With Lucha Libre matches, live music, authentic Mexican cuisine, and clothing and jewelry vendors, the weekend-long festival offered a glimpse into Mexican culture above and beyond “Mucho Mole!” for residents all throughout Chicago. | <urn:uuid:4ce288cd-c02a-41a4-9764-1f0fa117aaca> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://southsideweekly.com/author/sebastian-hidalgo/ | 2019-06-19T22:12:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999041.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619204313-20190619230313-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.923993 | 225 | [

This paper will address the issues encountered by first year students in reading and reshaping the culture of university. The interim findings of a six year study will be dismantled in order to uncover what counts in the experience of first year university and the ramifications for educational practice and discourse. Feedback from staff continues to indicate that there is growing disparity between their expectations of first year students and student performance in areas such as independent learning, research skills, academic reading and writing, as well as the use of new technologies. There also seems to be a gap between the students’ perceptions of their own abilities with respect to literacy practices and the demands placed on them in the tertiary setting. Dialogic critical reflection on the part of both students and staff empowers these individuals to read the world from multiple perspectives and to reshape future directions.

The Role of the Youth Engagement Team Initiatives (YETIs)
|Key Partnerships ♦ Engaging Youth ♦ YETI Reports ♦ Back to Main Table of Contents|
|Youth Engagement Team Initiatives, or YETIs, are the regional work groups that bring together partners working in youth and housing services to end youth homelessness in Connecticut. They are also responsible for organizing and implementing their region’s Youth Count.|
The most vital element of an effective YETI is having the right partners to the table. Collaborators are key to creating a community plan to end youth homelessness. Members should include:
- Youth and Young Adults Service Providers
Youth and Young Adult service providers are any organization, whether non-profit or government, that offer services or programs to the 13-24 year old age group. This could include a town’s youth service bureau, regional community organizations, or youth centers at libraries.
- Runaway and Homeless Youth Service Providers
These organizations are familiar with working with homeless and unstably housed youth and young adults, such as Kids in Crisis, the Women and Families Center, etc. These programs may or may not provide shelter, housing services, or outreach.
- McKinney-Vento Liaisons from regional schools
McKinney-Vento Liaisons are in charge of providing for homeless and unstably housed students in their regions. For a full list of McKinney-Vento by town, please click here.
- Representatives from government agencies
Bringing in partners from the Department of Children and Families, Department of Education, and Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is essential. These agencies have insight and resources that can strengthen the YETI considerably.
- Local community foundations invested in improving services to youth and young adults.
Community foundations that focus on investing in their community through youth and young adults or issues related to housing may be interesting in participating in the YETI. They can be a strong resource to support various initiatives of the workgroup.
- Youth and Young Adults with experience with homelessness and housing instability
Having youth and young adults with lived experience is essential to effectively planning for their need. Their knowledge helps to tailor services and programs to best meet their needs. You can read more on engaging and incorporating youth and young adults into your YETI below.
Including young people on your YETI can help you to identify key locations to plan to visit during the youth count and general outreach efforts. Youth and young adults are one of the most difficult homeless populations to identify and engage, as well as one of the most vulnerable. From their firsthand experience, youth can inform the YETI on effective engagement methods and ways to meet young people where they are in addressing their challenges.
McKinney-Vento liaisons and youth serving agencies can be helpful in identifying youth to take part in the meetings and logistics such as timing and location should be as accommodating as possible to facilitate their participation.
In order to stay updated on youth homelessness in Connecticut and create a space to share the work of YETIs across the state, CCEH has published a YETI Reports on the work of different regions alongside our newsletter. | <urn:uuid:87f0c49c-766f-45f4-9f0d-d6ba53a90f24> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://cceh.org/youth-count/yeti-roles/ | 2019-06-26T19:54:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.947998 | 658 | [

Creative Closet Door Covers – Look in your closet – fast. Then close it. It’s packed with packed with so much things which you can’t even locate the items you really need, right? It is time to clean out your cupboard. The fantastic news: you do not have to throw everything out. If you’re reorganizing your closet, the very first thing you have to do is check what you want to keep and what you want to throw off.
The next thing? Choose the best custom closet system to organize your life. There are two ways you may go when you’re setting up your new enhanced closet. You can use a pre-measured closet system.

This method makes the most efficient utilization of space, provided your closet is set to match among the pre-made systems available. However, it is not flexible for those who have, for example, a fairly compact clothing selection however a million pairs of shoes and matching purses. The next approach to easily organize your closet is by making use of a closet organization kit. These kits are much more flexible in size and generally consist chiefly of many distinct modules, often expandable plastics.

A closet organization kit is easier to change but does not make the most efficient utilization of space accessible. Some people choose a method somewhere in between those, with a portion of the cabinet dedicated to some rigid closet system and the rest flexible to utilize organization kits and similar individual modules.
One of the best custom closet kits accessible is your 8 in 1 closet organizer program. This useful kit fits in almost any standard eight-foot closet and may be altered into eight different configurations, or parts left out in smaller closets and cabinets which need other parts. In its most efficient settings, the eight-foot closet can handle the quantity of stuff you’d need twenty five feet of a closet to hold under ordinary situations – which is, a 150 percent increase in the total amount of space you have | <urn:uuid:c5677019-c766-4d43-a6ef-08a474b62e52> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://tenerife-top.com/7711-creative-closet-door-covers/ | 2019-06-26T20:13:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.936219 | 442 | [

This is the author’s debut book, and has received a lot of attention from the press. The setting is 1930, the midst of the Great Depression. After her mysterious role in a family tragedy, passionate, strong-willed Thea Atwell, age fifteen, has been cast out of her Florida home, exiled to an equestrienne boarding school for Southern debutantes located in the mountains of North Carolina. The story weaves between home and school, revealing the true story behind Thea’s expulsion from her family. Thea comes across as a complicated, imperfect, totally screwed up character who still manages, at times, to be loving, brave and kind. I did not appreciate the change-up from a coming of age story of innocence, to ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ graphic descriptions of Thea’s encounters both at home and at her exclusive boarding school In the end, I had the sense that the author wanted to write something bold and empowering but ended up with something strange and sad. | <urn:uuid:81d9acbb-13a7-43bc-a1ac-20f1f7d7ffae> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://therecommendationblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/ | 2019-06-26T20:53:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.970573 | 219 | [

The Mechanika V Slim is ECM’s modern HX commercial espresso machine that consists of advancements in elegant looks and technological boostings compared to the previous Mechanika Profi IV. This model also slimmed down a bit (hence, its name is the Slim) since it is only 10 inches wide and changed the shape of the boiler, which can go to a maximum of 2.2 L. The Mechanika V Slim features stunning steel legs, inscribed ECM in steam and hot water valves, separate steam and brew pressure gauges, single spout and dual spout portafilters, removable drip tray and E61 grouphead.
- Slimmer – The Mechanika V Slim is now only 10 inches wide (2 inches less than the Mechanika Profi IV).
- Updates in aesthetics – Other changes in looks include stunning steel legs and inscribed ECM in steam and hot water valves.
Heat Exchange System
- Stainless steel, insulated – The boiler is made of stainless steel which is less susceptible to limescale. Typically stainless steel boilers do not retain their heat as well as copper or brass boilers. This machine compensates that by being wrapped with insulation.
- Shape change – The heat exchange boiler can now go to a maximum of 2.2 L. The shape change allows for ECM to retain a lot of room on the machine’s interior.
- Pull a shot & steam milk at the same time – Steam is always readily available. Therefore there is no wait time going from coffee to steam mode. Works well if entertaining a small group of people.
Modifiable Brew Pressure
- OPV placement– The OPV on the Mechanika V Slim is located on the top to modify the brew pressure. The valve, which is placed below the reservoir lid, can also be modified simultaneously with the brew pressure gauge to simply create rapid revisions when brewing.
Separate Pressure Gauges
- Steam pressure gauge – Located on the left. Measures from 0 to 3 bar. Optimal pressure is between 0.8 and 1.1.
- Brew pressure gauge – Located on the right. Measures from 0 to 16 bar. Optimal pressure is between 8 and 10.
- Constantly heated – Hot water circulates from the heat exchanger through the grouphead and back to keep the grouphead and your portafilter nice and hot. This keeps the grouphead at a constant, stable temperature compared to other groupheads that have a built-in heating element.
- Pre-infusion – The lever next to the grouphead activates a microswitch which turns on the pump to pump water through the coffee grinds. When you pull the lever half way up, it will open the valve to allow water into the grouphead without activating the pump. Please note that true pre-infusion requires the direct water connection whereby the water pressure from the water line creates the true pre-infusion.
- Semi-Quiet Operation – A sturdy and dense asset to any espresso machine to produce the best espresso, although it is slightly louder than rotary pumps
- Multi-directional – Allows for more movement and flexibility.
- “No burn” – Wand is insulated to allow you to touch anywhere on the arm. Please note that after very long periods of steaming or pouring hot water, the arm will be too hot to touch. We recommend to only touch the rubber grips on each wand.
Accessories Included with the ECM Mechanika Slim
- Portafilters – Single spout portafilter and a dual spout portafilter. Both handles match the style of the grouphead lever and are ergonomically designed with an angle for easier operation to lock into the grouphead
- Filter baskets – 1-cup filter basket which holds approximately 7 grams. 2-cup filter basket which holds approximately 14 grams. Blind filter basket which you can use for backflushing. All basket are 58 mm in diameter.
- Instruction manual – Written in both German and English. The instructions also work for the Technika. | <urn:uuid:9b14c7ab-0fa0-4717-9c09-3bfa38d52523> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.1st-line.com/buy/ecm-mechanika-v-slim-espresso-machine/ | 2019-06-16T11:20:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998100.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616102719-20190616124719-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.92121 | 833 | [

Beijing: At least five people were killed and 21 injured after a hijacked bus crashed into pedestrians in east China's Fujian province on Tuesday afternoon, state media reported.
A hijacker carrying a knife had been detained and was being investigated by local police, state television CGTN reported.
The incident happened at about 3:20 pm in the city of Longyan, the local Minxi Ribao newspaper reported. A policeman was among the five confirmed dead.
A video posted by Duowei news, a Chinese media outlet based in the US, showed several injured people lying on the street near a crashed bus. It also showed police wrestling a person to the ground.
The Longyan public security bureau declined to comment when contacted by AFP.
China has suffered several similar incidents this year.
In late November a car rammed into a group of children crossing a street in front of an elementary school in northeast China's Liaoning province, killing five people and injuring another 18.
Earlier that month, about 15 people died when a bus plunged off a bridge in southwest Chongqing municipality, after the driver got into a fist fight with a passenger who had missed her bus stop.
In February, a van packed with pressurised gas tanks and petrol-filled bottles caught fire and ploughed into pedestrians in Shanghai, leaving at least 18 people injured.
Grisly car accidents are common in China, where transportation authorities have struggled to enforce safety regulations, which are often flouted or go unenforced.

The European Parliament has issued a resolution on 3D printing that experts warn could stifle innovation and lead to increased regulation.
The resolution is titled on three-dimensional printing, a challenge in the fields of intellectual property rights and civil liability and was adopted by with 631 votes in favour, 27 against and 19 abstentions.
Association calls for light-touch
CECIMO, the European Association representing the common interests of the Machine Tool Industries, has responded to the resolution. “We urge the European Institutions, however, to firmly differentiate between business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) uses of the technology, when approaching 3D printing from a regulatory perspective,” writes CECIMO
CECIMO recently published an activity report detailing initiatives to promote Additive Manufacturing.
In the new resolution the benefits of 3D printing, it’s potential and advances on the horizon are outlined, however a key section notes that a (potentially) surprising factor is holding back further progress and the widespread adoption – a lack of sufficient regulations.
This may appear counter intuitive, especially when the language of innovation is liberally sprinkled throughout the report. FabLabs are explicitly called out as a “boon for inventors.”
Resolution calls for increased regulation
However it is the “the aerospace and medical/dental sectors, [where] regulating the use of 3D printers will help increase the use of technologies and offer opportunities for research and development”.
Healthcare and aerospace are, rightly so, sectors where regulation is necessary to protect the safety of the public. Additive manufacturing has made slow,but steady progress as an acceptable technology in the aerospace industry. The certification and qualification process for the LEAP series jet engine and the 3D printed fuel nozzle is a poster child for the industry partly because of the scarcity of other components. Yet this does not mean the industry should seek to rush through more critical components. As one additive manufacturing for aerospace expert told me at Farnborough Airshow this week, the failure of an AM aerospace component could “kill the industry for ten years.”
CECIMO also highlights that additive manufacturing processes are already subject to the regulations governing the particular industry they are deployed in.
A response to the resolution by the European Commission is expected within the coming months.

Selected highlights from the resolution
“3D printing is viewed as one of the most prominent technologies, with regard to which Europe can play a leading role; whereas the Commission recognised the benefits of 3D printing by sponsoring 21 projects based on the technology by Horizon 2020 between 2014-2016;”
“the market for 3D printers constitutes a sector which is experiencing rapid growth and whereas this is expected to continue in the coming years;”
“3D printing has an enormous potential to transform supply chains in manufacturing which could help Europe increase output levels; whereas the application of this technology offers new opportunities for business development and innovation;”
“EU has made 3D printing one of the priority areas of technology; whereas the Commission referred to it, in its recent reflection paper on harnessing globalisation , as one of the main factors in bringing about industrial transformation;”
“it is to be expected that the limitations as regards materials that can be used, speed, and the consumption of raw materials and energy will be significantly reduced in a short period of time;”
“3D-printing might enable consumers to hit back at in-built obsolescence, as they will be able to make replacement parts for household appliances, whose lifespan is becoming increasingly shorter;”
“new technologies are able to scan objects or people and generate digital files which can subsequently be printed in 3D, and whereas this can affect image rights and the right to privacy;”
“may raise some specific legal and ethical concerns regarding all areas of intellectual property law, such as copyright, patents, designs, three-dimensional trademarks and even geographical indications, and civil liability, and whereas, moreover, those concerns fall within the remit of Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs;”
“in conclusion, legal experts are of the view that 3D printing has not fundamentally altered intellectual property rights, but files created may be considered a work and whereas, if that is the case, the work must be protected as such; whereas, in the short and medium term, and with a view to tackling counterfeiting, the main challenge will be to involve professional copyright intermediaries more closely;” | <urn:uuid:172025f1-3b04-4f08-8035-8ed0bb6838c3> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/europe-plans-leading-role-in-3d-printing-intellectual-property-is-a-challenge-136617/ | 2019-06-17T17:21:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.943374 | 973 | [

August 24 Thursday
Daughter Georgie and her partner Chris arrived to visit us, travelling from Santorini to Auxonne via most modes of transport known to man including planes trains and automobiles. They arrived to a bit of a heatwave here as temperatures started to soar to 33°C. We stayed another night in Auxonne then cruised along the Saône River to St Jean de Losne, only an hour and a half south of Auxonne.
As usual SJdL was a very social stay. We watched the Bledisloe Cup rugby match (between NZ and Australia) on Saturday morning with the usual suspects and what a game it was! We won but the ABs were a mess. Heart stopping stuff! Drinks bought with the sweepstakes winnings were on the bar later that day.
August 27 Sunday. We were up early and back on the Saône by 8.30am, heading to the Canal du Rhône au Rhin entrance off the river. This waterway is the canalised part of the Doubs River, built at the end of the 18th to the mid 19th century (interrupted by the Revolution) to more easily allow the commercial floating of logs, tied up as rafts, to the Saône bypassing all the weirs. This gives access from the Rhine to the Rhône, hence the name.
The highest point is 340m above sea level with 73 locks on the Saône side and 39 on the other. We were only heading up a short distance and arrived in Dole once the locks opened after the lunch break.
Dole is, as always, beautiful. The cobblestone-clad, narrow and winding streets, the stunning Notre Dame Basilica, the pretty flower-boxes on the bridges. So attractive. Dole gets its name from an old French word for a bridge toll, and there is a little canal that runs through the town, Canal des Tanneurs, used as you can guess, by tanners back in the day. In fact the most famous Frenchman born here, Louis Pasteur, had a father who was a tanner. It’s a delight to visit and we enjoyed an lovely evening eating dinner on a restaurant terrace by the Canal des Tanneurs listening to a fabulous jazz quartet.
August 28th Monday. Another scorcher. 33° and no breeze. We did some shopping early then spent the rest of the day trying to cool off by spraying water on ourselves and standing in front of the fan. (At least that’s what I did!). The electricity for the whole quay was blown twice by the 15m Le Boat hire boat next to us, turning on all their aircon units. It happens all the time with those particular boats and I wish Le Boat told their customers to check the quay amperage before turning on all their electrics.
In the evening the kids paddled over to the little pizza place on the other side of the canal in our inflatable kayak and picked up supper. New pizza delivery method!
August 29 Tuesday. We headed up to Rochefort sur Nenon, an hour an a half further east, a lovely peaceful spot with cliffs on one side and a usually roaring weir on the other. The water level is very low at the moment and consequentially there is very little flow. We arrived just after a 18m barge with a Swiss and a Canadian on board but they kindly moved up and we hung off the end of the little quay.
Rochefort sur Nenon is such a pretty spot with a grassy bank and shady trees that the locals make good use of, even the local retirement village residents came down in the afternoon to enjoy the shade. The temperature rose again to 34°. We swam to cool off. The inflatable kayak saw some action too with Chris heading upstream in the evening. We tried to have a BBQ under the trees but the gas bottle started leaking so I cooked the sausages in a very hot galley. With no power for the fans it was a restless night.
August 30 Wednesday. Georgie got up at daybreak to walk along the cliff top path to see the sunrise and she took some beautiful photos. After breakfast they biked along the towpath while Alan and I sailed the boat back to Dole. The weather took a much cooler turn later with a thunder storm and pelting rain.
August 31 Thursday. It was cold and drizzly so we stayed inside most of the day which was a bit of a squeeze on our 11.5m boat. I think we have more unsettled weather for the next couple of days with cold overnight temperatures. Tomorrow we are hiring a car for a week so we can see take Georgie and Chris to see more sights, especially Beaune and Besançon. And we can drive them to the train station in a week’s time when they head home. We will cruise back to St Jean de Losne and catch up on maintenance and getting the boat ready for winter. We still have another month in France so there’s no hurry. Maybe we’ll squeeze in another sidetrip!
So that’s it for another week.

The eponymous Jazz Festival done and dusted for another year. The following report was received from a bleary-eyed Captain Chaos.
The Captain’s View
The 6th Castlemaine Jazz festival was held over the long weekend. 46 bands participated in 5 venues to mostly appreciative audiences.
Many regular, past and occasional Jammers were amongst the performers. Malcolm Hornby, Jeff Harris, Peter Ryan, Sala Kord, Gill Sealby, Mac Beshai. Anthony Pell, Sebastian Jago, Mike Hirsh and Ade Ishs. Spotted amongst the audiences were Annie Smith and Lisette Payet. Volunteering his services as a door manager was Bill Swannie. Captain Chaos played, but forgot to include himself in the list.
The event ran smoothly but, with less than half the musicians in town compared to previous years, the festival overall lacked the dynamic atmosphere experienced in the past.
The Inside Goss.
The Captain’s view was one with which, in general, our local snout would concur. Highlights of the Festival included Maggie Jackson, remarkably, packing out the Maurocco Bar – standing room only by all accounts; and Meg Corson fronting the Goldfields Jazz Orchestra to a packed house at the Theatre Royal: both local performers doing well.
The Festival lacked that special “buzz” around the streets, by comparison with previous years. The feature band The Seven Ups could not possibly live up to the hype and didn’t, but showed a lot of energy, which would have pleased the younger crowd, had they turned up in droves. They didn’t. The whiteboard and jam sessions at the Cumberland finished early, with fewer musos. Remarkably, and depending on who tells you, the ticket sales were well up on previous years.
Ah well… a good turn out of Jammers from Melbourne. Well done all round. | <urn:uuid:ecc39249-2409-4796-ae7a-a7919cdc4d5f> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://melbournejazzjammers.com/category/other-news/ | 2019-06-17T16:33:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.969319 | 398 | [

On Monday, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Lovallo published a devastating research note about Tesla.
He cut his target price for the electric-car manufacturer to $65 from $70 and insisted that the bull case for Tesla, currently trading at $217, doesn't hold water.
We have long contended that Tesla's primary challenge is a lack of demand for its [electric vehicles.] Tesla's management and the bulls consistently argue that the company can stimulate demand at will and that the true issue is capacity and supply. In our view, this optimistic thesis has been largely debunked, given that we now know Tesla is producing at levels that are both well below past run-rates and the company's current installed capacity. In other words, Tesla appears to be pulling back on production, which we believe could create the appearance of rising demand. [Emphasis added.]
Lovallo is among the Tesla bears, with a price target for the stock that's miles below the Wall Street bulls. He has an "underperform" rating on the stock.
But his note focuses remorselessly on one of Elon Musk's key selling points, which the CEO made as Tesla struggled over the second half of 2014 to validate its lofty market cap, now at $27 billion.
Again and again, Musk has said that Tesla doesn't have a demand problem — rather, it can't build enough cars to keep up with demand and doesn't want demand to get out of control, as the company is very concerned about making customers wait for cars.
The assumption among the bulls has been that Tesla will soon fire up production to aggressive levels and begin to steadily crank out tens of thousands of new cars. Musk himself has projected that production in 2015 will rise to 55,000 vehicles, up from 2014's 35,000.
Lovallo couldn't be more strongly questioning that prediction.
The issue of demand for Tesla's electric cars came up in 2014, prior to the introduction of an all-wheel-drive version of the company's Model S sedan. There have also been indications that Tesla deliveries in China, an important growth market, haven't lived up to expectations.
Tesla recently reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2014 earnings, which were a significant miss. The company also failed to deliver roughly 1,400 cars in 2014, pushing those deliveries into early 2015.
The stock thus far hasn't been punished. But shares are down substantially from their 2014 peak of $292.

Actress Hayden Panettiere showed off some new bangs at the Whaleman Foundation Benefit yesterday. Normally I’m not a huge fan of bangs (they remind me of my Asian cut when I was young *lol*) but I think she looks great! The bangs give her an edgier, younger look. Are we digging the bangs ladies?

For the majority of WordPress users, there is only one way to install a WordPress plugin; they have no idea if they can accomplish the task using cPanel.
One of the most significant problems occurs when users don't have access to their wp-admin panel due to some reason. Not everyone knows how to fix an issue.
Whenever you get a White Screen of Death, or something related, you seek help from a web hosting customer service representative.
But, it's vital to polish your WordPress skills. There are thousands of free plugins in the WordPress repository, but when you buy a premium plugin, you get a ZIP file.
You can upload the file from your website's dashboard, but you should also learn a different way. In this tutorial, you're going to learn the manual way to install a WordPress plugin using cPanel.
Learn to Use the File Structure of WordPress
Now and then, you can see people choosing cPanel as their best friend, I remember when I started using it, everything was so scary, but not anymore.
If you have been using WordPress for a while, you may have noticed how important it is to know about WordPress core files and their structure.
To install a plugin, you need to know where all the other plugins are present. WordPress stores its plugins, themes, media, and content in its wp-content folder.
Let me walk you through the whole process.
Open the cPanel account provided by your web hosting company, and search for the file manager. Most of the companies display it under the Files' section, but it's not necessary.
Depending on the company you have, the design of cPanel may be different because every company uses a unique design template.
If you host only one domain on your web hosting server, you have to open the public_html directory, because that's where all of your WordPress files and folders are residing.
By default, you may see the home directory or an empty directory, but you can navigate to public_html through the left-hand sidebar of cPanel.
Search for the wp-content folder and click to open.
On this page, you can see the themes, plugins, and many other folders. Open plugins.
You can see all the plugins you have on your WordPress site right now. To upload a new plugin, you must use the Upload link showing on the horizontal main navigation menu of cPanel.
A new tab appears to you, having a button "Select File" to pick the ZIP file you have downloaded on your computer.
If you want to install any free plugin, download it on your computer and then upload it here.
Once the upload is complete, go back to the previous directory, where all the plugins are available. Search for the ZIP file.
Right-click and choose the Extract link.
You can see the location for the extraction; if you wish, you can upload it anywhere else and extract it in public_html/wp-content/plugins.
Click on the Extract File(s) button, and within a few seconds, you can see the magic. A popup appears, click close and refresh the page.
You can see the plugin's folder. Congrats, you have successfully uploaded a WordPress plugin without using wp-admin area.
You may be wondering if the plugin is active or not. Well, for now, you have only uploaded the plugin, to activate it, you need to access the website's dashboard.
Although, if you get any error and you can't access your wp-admin panel, you can disable all plugins from cPanel.
I Hope You Can Easily Upload a Plugin to Your WordPress Website
Knowing an alternative method is essential. Now and then, you may need to buy any premium plugin, which may require the manual assistance.
Once I had to install WP-Rocket, but I didn't have an idea, because there was access to the dashboard. So, I had to follow the cPanel method.
For a WordPress user, learning the alternative tricks is important. Nothing can beat you if you know such things. Many people pay thousands of Dollars to manage their websites.
If you know the effective cPanel methods, you don't need to pay anyone, you can do it yourself. I hope you have learned the perfect method. | <urn:uuid:c2925ec1-0ad4-47d2-ab7b-6ac51ae83d17> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://hostadvice.com/how-to/how-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin-using-cpanel/ | 2019-06-24T13:50:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999539.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624130856-20190624152856-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.929695 | 890 | [

For Bradford Saron, being a tech-savvy superintendent “has less to do with the devices you have and more to do with how you use them. In my judgment, being able to leverage technology to help people grow and also to convene teams to solve problems are the most important parts of being a tech-savvy superintendent.”
Saron, the superintendent of Cashton Public Schools in Wisconsin, is a 2012 winner of the Tech-Savvy Superintendent Awards from eSchool Media. He recently sat down with eSchool News Editor Dennis Pierce to discuss his district’s ed-tech accomplishments and the keys to its success.
One of the biggest challenges Saron identified is finding the right balance between high-tech and low-tech approaches to solving problems. “Applications from an iPad don’t put Band-Aids on scraped knees or hug tears away at all,” he noted.
Watch the interview with Saron, in which he also described the ed-tech initiative he’s most proud of in his district and shared some useful advice for colleagues: | <urn:uuid:b76ad058-ec6c-421e-8c33-f91f5e8fa3fa> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.eschoolnews.com/2012/03/30/brad-saron-ed-tech-is-not-about-devices-but-how-you-use-them/ | 2019-06-25T20:19:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999946.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625192953-20190625214953-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.965392 | 225 | [

On 25 June, 1945 at the San Francisco Opera House, the final full session of delegates to the United Nations Conference on International Organization met and stood together– literally as well as figuratively – to signal their unanimous approval of the Charter of the United Nations.
These delegates had deliberated on the basis of proposals worked out by the representatives of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States at Dumbarton Oaks, United States in August-October 1944. The representatives from 50 countries finally signed the Charter on 26 June 1945. Poland, which was not represented at the Conference, signed it later and became one of the original 51FoundingMember States.
The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the Charterwasratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and by a majority of other signatories. United Nations Day is celebrated on 24 October each year.
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter in San Francisco, the UN is marking the event in the city that has played such a key role in the founding of the UN. There will be a public ceremony at City Hall with an audience of some 1,000 diplomats, students and community members. The city’s mayor and other local and international dignitaries will join UN Officials at the event.
A special event marking the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Charter of the UN, and the launch of the anniversary edition of the UN Charter will be held from 2:30-4:00 p.m. at UN Headquarters. UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson will deliver opening remarks. Other speakers will follow as will a live joint webcast viewing of the official ceremony from San Francisco featuring the UN Secretary-General, the President of the General Assembly, and other special guests. Open to UN ground pass-holders or watch the event on UN webcast. More information can be found on the event website. | <urn:uuid:84c5f13f-dc2d-4f99-8f06-195d3ecc7ea7> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.un.org/youthenvoy/2015/06/san-francisco-now70-years/ | 2019-06-16T15:25:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998250.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616142725-20190616164725-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.951598 | 402 | [

The Awakening : Book 02, Chapter 15
(1828 - 1910) ~ Father of Christian Anarchism : In 1861, during the second of his European tours, Tolstoy met with Proudhon, with whom he exchanged ideas. Inspired by the encounter, Tolstoy returned to Yasnaya Polyana to found thirteen schools that were the first attempt to implement a practical model of libertarian education. (From : Anarchy Archives.)
• "...the dissemination of the truth in a society based on coercion was always hindered in one and the same manner, namely, those in power, feeling that the recognition of this truth would undermine their position, consciously or sometimes unconsciously perverted it by explanations and additions quite foreign to it, and also opposed it by open violence." (From : "A Letter to a Hindu: The Subjection of India- Its....)
• "There are people (we ourselves are such) who realize that our Government is very bad, and who struggle against it." (From : "A Letter to Russian Liberals," by Leo Tolstoy, Au....)
• "Only by recognizing the land as just such an article of common possession as the sun and air will you be able, without bias and justly, to establish the ownership of land among all men, according to any of the existing projects or according to some new project composed or chosen by you in common." (From : "To the Working People," by Leo Tolstoy, Yasnaya P....)
Book 02, Chapter 15
On leaving the Senate, Nekhludoff and his lawyer walked along the sidewalk. Fanirin told his driver to follow him, and he began to relate to Nekhludoff how the mistress of so-and-so had made millions on 'Change, how so-and-so had sold, and another had bought, his wife. He also related some stories of swindling and all sorts of crimes committed by well-known people who were not occupying cells in prison, but presidents' chairs in various institutions. These stories, of which he seemed to possess an inexhaustible source, afforded the lawyer great pleasure, as showing most conclusively that the means employed by him as a lawyer to make money were perfectly innocent in comparison with those used by the more noted public men of St. Petersburg. And the lawyer was greatly surprised when Nekhludoff, in the middle of one of these stories, hailed a trap, took leave and drove home. Nekhludoff was very sad. He was sad because the Senate's judgment continued the unreasonable suffering of the innocent Maslova, and also because it made it more difficult for him to carry out his unalterable intention of joining his fate to hers. His sadness increased as the lawyer related with so much pleasure the frightful stories of the prevailing wickedness. Besides, the unkind, cold, repelling gaze of the once charming, [Pg 249]open-hearted and noble Selenin constantly recurred to his mind. Nekhludoff, after the impressions of his stay in St. Petersburg, was almost in despair of ever reaching any results. All the plans he had laid out in Moskow seemed to him like those youthful dreams which usually end in disappointment. However, he considered it his duty, while in St. Petersburg, to exhaust his resources in endeavoring to fulfill his mission.
Soon after he reached his room, a servant called him upstairs for tea. Mariette, in a multi-colored dress, was sitting beside the Countess, sipping tea. On Nekhludoff's entering the room, Mariette had just dropped some funny, indecent joke. Nekhludoff noticed it by the character of their laughter. The good-natured, mustached Countess Catherine Ivanovna was shaking in all her stout body with laughter, while Mariette, with a particularly mischievous expression, and her energetic and cheerful face somewhat bent to one side, was silently looking at her companion.
"You will be the death of me," said the Countess, in a fit of coughing.
No sooner had Nekhludoff seated himself than Mariette, noticing the serious and slightly displeased expression on his face, immediately changed not only her expression, but her frame of mind. This was with the intention she had in mind since she first saw him—to get him to like her. She suddenly became grave, dissatisfied with her life, seeking something, striving after something. She not merely feigned, but actually induced in herself a state of mind similar to that in which Nekhludoff was, although she would not be able to say what it consisted of. In a sympathetic conversation about the injustice of the strong, the poverty of the people, the awful condition of the prisoners, she succeeded in rousing in him the least expected feeling of physical attraction, and under the din of conversation their eyes plainly queried, "Can you love me?" and they answered, "Yes, I can."
On leaving, she told him that she was always ready to be of service to him, and asked him to visit her at the theater the next day, if only for a minute, saying that she wished to have a talk with him on a matter of importance.
[Pg 250]"When will I see you again?" she added, sighing, and carefully putting the gloves on her ring-bedecked hand. "Tell me that you will come."
Nekhludoff promised to come.
For a long time that night Nekhludoff could not fall asleep. When he recalled Maslova, the decision of the Senate, and his determination to follow her; when he recalled his relinquishment of his right to the land, there suddenly appeared before him, as if in answer to these questions, the face of Mariette; her sigh and glance when she said, "When will I see you again?" and her smile—all so distinct that she seemed to stand before him, and he smiled himself. "Would it be proper for me to follow her to Siberia? And would it be proper to deprive myself of my property?" he asked himself.
And the answers to these questions on that bright St. Petersburg night were indefinite. His mind was all in confusion. He called forth his former trend of thought, but those thoughts had lost their former power of conviction.
"And what if all my ideas are due to an over-wrought imagination, and I should be unable to live up to them? If I should repent of what I have done?" he asked himself, and, being unable to find answers to these questions, he was stricken with such sadness and despair as he had rarely experienced before, and he fell into that deep slumber which had been habitual with him after heavy losses at cards.

There are a lot of reasons to consider a rebuilt transmission, but there is often a concern with some shops about the quality of experience and expertise available in-house to get the job done. To address this issue, many people choose a remanufactured transmission over the rebuilt option.
There are several important reasons to consider why a remanufactured transmission is the best option for your vehicle. By weighing the pros and cons of each option, you will be able to see why remanufactured is the choice of so many vehicle owners.
Professional and Specialized Technicians
When a transmission is sent away, it is sent to a facility specializing in remanufactured transmission services. This is all these professional technicians do. Many specialize in a particular vehicle manufacturer’s transmissions, so they have an in-depth understanding and experience with every transmission they remanufacture.
Current Factory Updates
Through the remanufacturing process, all current factory upgrades are installed into your transmission. This is true even if this wasn’t the issue for the need for repair. When you get the remanufactured transmission back, it is just like a new transmission rolling of the assembly line as to the upgrades and current status of all the electrical and other parts.
State of the Art Equipment and Testing
At a remanufacturing facility, they have state of the art equipment both to complete the rebuild as well as to fully test the transmission before it is shipped out again. This is invaluable as it ensures the transmission is in top working condition before it is installed in your vehicle.
Parts Machined or Replaced
In many mechanic rebuilds the parts are cleaned, visually inspected, and then used again if they appear to be in good condition. With you elect to go with a remanufactured transmission all parts that are used are cleaned, inspected and machined or replaced. These services don’t put back parts that are going to fail in a few hundred miles. If the part looks like it will or is failing, it is replaced or machined before being installed.
With all the care and attention that goes into a remanufactured transmission it is no wonder companies are willing to offer top warranties. You may only have a 90-day warranty on a rebuilt tranny, but you will often find companies offering three years on a remanufactured transmission, which is certainly worth consideration.

Cities across the UK could be about to follow London’s lead and introduce enhanced safety standards for trucks based on the Direct Vision Standard (DVS).
Transport for London (TfL) says it has received a lot of interest in its scheme both in the UK and in mainland Europe, and it is keen to see the safety standard rolled out nationwide.
“Our end goal is not to have a specific regulation for London,” said Alina Tuerk, delivery planning manager for freight at TfL. “We really want this to go wider than London, rather like FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme).
“It has the potential to become national; it has the potential to become international.”
The DVS, announced in 2016 by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, was developed to improve the design of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) involved in collisions with vulnerable road-users, where a contributory factor was the blind spot.
However, Tuerk told delegates at the recent FORS members’ conference that HGVs being disproportionately involved in collisions with cyclists and pedestrians is “not unique” to London.
Both London and Manchester are above the urban average. The capital reports eight casualties per billion cyclist kilometres, while Manchester reports five, compared with a national average of just below four.
More than 140 cyclists were killed or seriously injured on Greater Manchester roads last year. Several collisions involving HGVs have also occurred in the city centre in the past few months, resulting in serious injuries for cyclists involved.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) told Commercial Fleet it had been following the London initiative and acknowledged the safety benefits it provides for road users.
A spokesman said: “We are exploring a range of HGV- and cycle-related measures to improve road safety on Greater Manchester’s roads. However, we are aware that a successful implementation of this specific measure could be dependent on a number of factors such as additional legislation and funding.”
Bristol, meanwhile, which became Britain’s first ‘cycling city’ in 2008, said it supported the London initiative, but that it was “too soon” to tell if it would follow suit.
The DVS has already gained traction with European law-makers. In May, direct vision for trucks was one of the safety measures included in the European Commission’s review of the General Safety Regulation, which governs European vehicle safety and design regulations.
Using a star system, the DVS rates HGVs more than 12 tonnes from zero (lowest) to five (highest), based on how much the driver can see directly through their cab windows, as opposed to indirectly through cameras or mirrors.
The Mercedes-Benz Econic low cab gets five stars, for example, while the Volvo FMX, without lower door window, receives a zero-star rating. With the door window it is worthy of a single star.
Zero-rated trucks will be banned from October 26, 2020, with one- and two-star trucks banned from 2024.
TfL, however, has proposed a HGV Safety Permit scheme, so trucks not reaching the required standard can continue operating in Greater London if they have certain safety equipment fitted – a so-called ‘Safe System’ approach.
Trucks reaching the required DVS, will automatically have a permit issued, while those having an insufficient star rating will have to take the so-called ‘Safe System’ approach.
Subject to final consultation, they will include: blind spot elimination and minimisation through cameras, both Class V and VI mirrors, and a sensor system with driver alerts.
They would also be expected to be fitted with audible alerts and safety measures to minimise physical impact, such as side-underrun protection.
Furthermore, TfL says it will recommended that all drivers (including those exempt or not in scope of Driver Certificate of Professional Competence) shall undergo specific training on the safety of vulnerable road users and the use and limitations of supplementary vehicle safety equipment.
When the rules are tightened in 2024, TfL says it will take into account any additional technology or safety equipment not available in 2020.
This will become known as the ‘Progressive Safe System’ and will only include equipment that can be retrofitted to the HGV, is industry recognised and readily available on the market at the time.
TfL previously announced there would be no charge for permits and they would start issuing them next October.
The final consultation will take place early next year, more than likely from January.
It will include how best to provide hauliers with information on qualifying equipment for the proposed Safe System. It will also consider how the DVS permits will be administered.
The preferred option for enforcement is through an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system.
In a previous DVS consultation, 91% said they agreed or strongly agreed that the amount an HGV driver can see directly through the cab’s windows plays a role in collisions with vulnerable road users.
Similarly, 92% either agreed or strongly agreed that the amount a driver can directly see should be improved to reduce HGV road risk (commercialfleet.org, June 15).
New research from Mercedes-Benz Trucks revealed a similar set of results, with four in five motorcyclists and cyclists saying they need to see a driver’s face in order to feel safe on the road.
However, while 90% of respondents were aware that truck drivers have restricted visibility, more than half (58%) admitted to having stopped or passed on the inside of a truck, which then turned left.
TfL commissioned its own research, which revealed that when comparing indirect and direct vision, a driver with indirect vision has a 0.7-second slower reaction time.
Tuerk said that may sound like a “very small number” but at 15mph it translated into an extra stopping distance of almost five metres. “Even at 5mph it’s an extra metre-and-a-half,” she said.
The DVS forms part of a ‘Vision Zero’ action plan launched in July by London’s mayor, TfL and the Metropolitan Police. The aim is to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries from the transport network by 2041.
The plan includes the introduction of lower speed limits on TfL’s road network, improvements to existing dangerous junctions and the Direct Vision Standard.
Alongside the enforced changes to trucks, all new London buses must also include new safety measures, including speed limiters, audible alerts for pedestrians and other road-users, and more blindspot mirrors and reversing cameras from next year.
TfL also recently teamed up with the Metropolitan Police for ‘Operation Vision Zero’, which clocked up 4,758 driving offences in two weeks – more than 800 offences higher than an average two week period in 2016.
TfL told Commercial Fleet that 507 drivers were stopped for mobile phone use, 654 for speeding, 559 caught driving without insurance and 1,394 for mechanical defects.
Officers also dealt with 519 cycling offences such as red light jumping.
Last month’s Road Safety Week (November 19-25), organised by the road safety charity Brake, called for drivers to be ‘Bike Smart’.
New analysis by Brake found that, on average, those on two wheels are 63 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured on British roads, per mile travelled, than car drivers.
Last year, 6,043 motorcyclists, 5,604 cyclists and 1,801 pedestrians were killed or injured per billion road miles they travelled. This compares with 238 car occupants and 61 truck drivers.
In its annual Fleet Survey Report, published last month, three-quarters (74%) of respondents said their organisation has the right policies in place to protect cyclists, motor-cyclists and pedestrians.
Interestingly, nine out of 10 respondents to the fleet survey (92%) said cyclists could do more to protect themselves on the roads. | <urn:uuid:dd3d8db7-7cbf-4be0-80d2-6645baf6e660> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.commercialfleet.org/news/truck-news/2018/12/18/could-the-direct-vision-standard-be-introduced-outside-london | 2019-06-17T19:28:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998558.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617183209-20190617205209-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.963426 | 1,680 | [

I just got back in town yesterday from an extended weekend in Denver, CO. I gotta say, I’m exhausted!
The national AWP (the Association of Writers and Writers’ Programs) conference was held April 7 – 11 which ostensibly amounted to my sleeping terribly each night, attending panels from 9:00AM – 5:30PM three days in a row while consuming potentially hazardous amounts of coffee in the interim.
Though admittedly I learned a lot.
But before I jump into the nuts and bolts of the conference itself, I thought I would first take the time to mention certain aesthetic observations with respect to the conference’s actual attendees. Most of my comments can be summed up with a single sentence: Everyone looks the same!
There are essentially five or so archetypes of conference goer of which I will deconstruct below in a mostly disorganized and lazy fashion:
Berets are still in (seriously, why?). Sport coats of various fabrics–mostly micro-suede and corduroy–are the new tweed among academic types.
The “Jesus look” = in!
Guys with full beards, glasses and flannel-wear? Also in. Al Borland and the guy from the Brawny paper towel commercials and wrappers would be ecstatic. These writers favor Jack(s) London and Kerouac for their salt of the earth, everyman prose style.
Hobo-fabulous/chic is also in. This type favors boutique designer wear such as $200 Citizens of Humanity or Diesel jeans, $100 Ben Sherman or 7 Diamonds shirts, the sport coats of the “new” academics and tennis shoes. Seriously. Like running shoes. I’m not kidding.
Women, especially aged 40+ gravitate toward thick-rimmed glasses, shawls and shocks of white hair, an effect which they may or may not have implemented dyes to attain.
Then there are older gentlemen who sport baseball caps, vests and a few layers of tough leathery skin. Also see salt of the earth literature; though perhaps this type’s is saltier.
Speaking of beards, they were everywhere. Thick facial hair is trendy again in order to seem truly artsy.
Chuck Taylor’s? Ubiquitous.
Skinny jeans and 80s punk rock hair are back. Hooded rugby shirts–always too small–accentuate this new punk’s physical likeness to fitted PCV piping. And you can forget backpacks; they’re out. Canvas messenger bags are the new black (though I should note that I personally prefer the weight distributing properties that a backpack offers, so fuck what’s hot–give me what’s comfy!).
So everyone pretty much looks the same–not just with respect to each other but to everyone who has ever lived. They further reinforce the idea that there are no new ideas, just rehashings of old ones. People trying to individuate themselves by buying into, and thus looking like, how they “should.” The clothes they wear fit their chosen archetype. For whatever reason, the harder the individual tries to assume the appearance of their chosen archetype, the more an air of severe hoit and toit emanates from them.
Butch-lesbian-chic? In. Whether or not they are all actual lesbians or not, this particular look is fucking everywhere too! These women at least look like they could kick your ass, the truth likely not far from the suggested appearance; the spiky hair only solidifies their ass-kicking appearance.
Hooker boots: definitely in.
Funky chic? IN. Lots of color, crazy boots of varying degrees of height, funky hair? In, in and in. (And how could I forget the myriad of “patterned tights with boots? That was everywhere. And dresses plus cardigans, of course.” Thanks to Elisa Gabbert for reminding me!)
Short skirts? In. I’m not complaining, more like just saying: they’re here, in full effect.
Some people wore a hodgepodge of these looks, which suggested mainly that they simply were trying too hard…to look original… Those who wore bowler, derby and cabbie/newsboy/Oliver Twist hats were everywhere but always gave the impression they were trying to figure out what others thought of their personally wearing said hat(s).
One attendee looked like a terrible goth/emo Crocodile Dundee “mash-up” mishap.
Don’t people use mirrors anymore before going out in public?
Anyway, actual conference news soon to follow! | <urn:uuid:723e276f-a46d-4560-98cb-5038fa4dbe2d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://categorythirteen.com/2010/04/12/back-from-the-abyss-or-rather-the-national-awp-conference-in-denver/ | 2019-06-19T00:44:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998879.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619003600-20190619025600-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.95366 | 985 | [

Studying at the University of Bristol last fall, Laura Lockard ’17, a microbiology major and an accomplished track and field athlete, found herself with no suitable track to train on. The school’s athletic center required her to purchase a six-month membership that would cost her an estimated $1,000. Moreover, the small track there was nothing like the 400-meter standard tracks on which she both trained and competed.
So instead of buying a membership to the athletic center, Lockard decided to complete her workouts on a dirt path at a place called Queen’s Square—a small park roughly one mile from the Bristol campus.
The square had a perimeter of about 500 meters. But she made it work, completing workouts that Sam Albert ’01, ’02W (MS), the director of Rochester’s programs in track and field and cross country, would send her to keep her on par with the rest of the team back stateside.
Lockard had been a team leader from the very start. During her freshman year, she won her first collegiate race, indoors, at the RIT Early Season Invitational. Later in the indoor season, at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference Championships, she placed third in the 400 meters. Outdoors, she won the 400 meters in front of a home crowd at the University of Rochester Alumni Invitational. Later, she was a New York State champion on the 4-by-400-meter relay. Overall, she helped set three new school records in her first year on the River Campus.
Now, as a team captain and in her final semester at Rochester, Lockard says she hopes to match those performances. “I’d love to get around the same point, if not a little better, than I was freshman year,” she says. And “to maintain my grades.”
If those seem like modest goals for a student-athlete with Lockard’s record, it’s not for a lack of drive. Rather, Lockard has worked through two track seasons and four semesters with a steep and unusual set of challenges.
It was early February when Lockard, shortly into her second track season at Rochester, decided to earn a little extra money by volunteering for a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study in the University’s Neuroimaging Center.
About 10 minutes into her scan, Frank Garcea, the graduate student running the procedure, told her there was a problem with the machine. He aborted the scan and told Lockard they would have to reschedule.
Shortly after Lockard returned to her dorm room, she received a phone call. The machine was fixed, she was told. When she returned to the center, however, she discovered the machine hadn’t malfunctioned. Instead, Brad Mahon, an assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences and neurosurgery, and the principal investigator of the study, was there to deliver to her in person some troubling news. The scan revealed a mass—approximately 2.4 cm-by-2.4 cm-by-4.8 cm in size—on the lower part of her brain, near the brain stem.
At first, she panicked. Then, after calling home, she went for a long walk in the chill of February in Rochester. “After hearing the news,” she recalls, “I needed the long walk outside to finally breathe.”
Within days, she met with Howard Silberstein, the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at the Medical Center.
“The tumor was in a tough location, very deep in the cerebellum and up against the brain stem,” says Silberstein. “It had probably been developing slowly over Laura’s childhood.”
The cerebellum coordinates and regulates muscular activity, aiding in activities such as walking and running, as well as precision muscle movements and timing.
A cerebral angiogram produced no definite diagnosis. Her doctors concluded from the sum total of her tests and scans that the mass was most likely a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma—a rare childhood brain tumor that is slow growing and can cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, balance problems, and vision abnormalities. Juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas are usually benign. Regardless, she had a choice: it could be monitored, or it could be removed.
Lockard kept close counsel with her family, including her father, John Lockard ’83, ’84 (MS), a medical doctor; her mother, Susan; her older sister, Kim; and her brother, John ’16.
Meanwhile, she attempted to have as normal a semester as she could. She was out for the indoor and outdoor track seasons, but participated by attending practices and supporting her teammates. In addition, Lockard says, “I focused a lot of energy towards my studies.” In a sense, they were a refuge. “I kind of used my school work as a distraction from everything that was happening. It was one of the few areas of my life that still felt normal to me. I didn’t even really tell my professors what was going on. I didn’t want any special treatment. I just wanted to feel like a normal student.”
“Plenty of people would have just shut down and checked out entirely, grades and all,” says Albert. “But Laura stayed calm through it all, took it one day at a time, and did a great job balancing everything.”
Summer and Fall 2015
When Lockard returned home to Pennsylvania for the summer, the family sought a second consultation with a specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital. After the consultation, they decided to have the tumor removed.
In late June, Silberstein performed the 10-hour operation at the University’s Strong Memorial Hospital.
“This was a challenging operation as you don’t know exactly how the tumor is connected to surrounding tissues,” he says, adding, “Laura’s surgery went as well as could be expected.” A biopsy confirmed that the mass was a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma.
Her recovery began in the hospital, with nurses gradually increasing the function of the surgically affected area of her brain. She progressed quickly with the initial rehab—with the help, she notes, of her stuffed Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a reminder of the Lockards’ dog, Molly.
After returning home from the hospital, “Molly knew something was wrong,” she says. “She practically never left the couch with me all summer.”
Lockard’s main task for the summer was to regain her strength, balance, and basic motor skills, with the goal of returning to normal college life in the fall—and possibly, if her doctors allowed it, a return to the track team.
“We are always concerned for patients after brain surgery, and this case was no different,” says Silberstein. “We didn’t want her to trip and fall, possibly damaging the surgical area, or run prior to the cerebellum being healed.”
When fall arrived, Lockard stayed right on course, academically. Neither the tumor, nor the surgery, affected her cognitively.
She’d come to Rochester in part to take advantage of the opportunities the University provides for undergraduate research. Following her surgery, she would work as an assistant in the lab of Andrea Sant, a professor in the Medical Center’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology. She would offer instruction and support to fellow undergraduates as a workshop leader in introductory microbiology. And she began to prepare for her semester in Bristol, deciding that she would not let her condition prevent her from taking advantage of the opportunity to study overseas.
Athletically, things were looking up as well. Remarkably, she was cleared for full practice just in time to start training for the 2016 indoor and outdoor seasons. “It was incredible that not even after six months following surgery, she was back to full training,” says Albert.
Although she hadn’t been on the track for a year, she picked up right where she left off. At the Houghton Highlander Invitational in January, she ran on the second place 4-by-200-meter relay team. The following week, she and three teammates on the 4-by-400-meter relay captured first place at the Brockport Golden Eagle Multi & Invitational. She posted indoor personal best times in the 500-meter race at the Ithaca Bomber Invitational in early February and in the 200-meter dash a few weeks later at the Brockport Golden Eagle Invite.
“It was nerve-wracking given everything that happened,” Lockard says. “But soon after those first few meets, I realized that I wasn’t as far behind as I thought.”
Soon she would face another setback that would sideline her for the remainder of the indoor season. Following the second Brockport meet, she started to feel “off.” She was lightheaded and lost some sensation in her legs and face. She underwent another round of tests, and came back with normal results. Doctors attributed her symptoms to stress, or possibly a virus of the type that often spread around college campuses in the winter months.
In March, as the outdoor season began, she was back, making her debut at a home meet, the Rochester Spring Invite. She placed fifth of 29 runners in the 200-meter dash. Later in the season, at the New York State meet, Lockard and her teammates in the 4-by-100 meter relay captured the state title in the event, posting a time of 48.91 seconds, less than half a second off the school record.
By the end of the spring semester, Albert professed amazement. “The success Laura had this season given the limited amount of summer training was remarkable,” he said in May. “I am really excited about what she can accomplish in her senior season.”
As the 2017 indoor season draws to a close, it just might be that Lockard’s workouts on a dirt path in southwest England served her well. If her goal was to match her personal bests—all but one of which occurred in her freshman year, before the discovery of her tumor—she’s been coming close. Moreover, in the opening weeks of the indoor season, she posted the top times on the Rochester women’s team in five events.
Looking back at her ordeal, Lockard says, “The insignificant decision to participate in this volunteer study changed my whole life.” At the most basic level, it means she’ll take her medical school entrance exams and apply to schools in the coming year, a year later than she’d planned. The gap year, she notes dryly, “will give me a full year to experience the medical profession as something other than a patient.”
More deeply, there are the life lessons. “Thinking about everything I went through and where I am now really fills me with a considerable amount of pride,” she says. It was definitely a really rough thing to go through at only 19, 20 years old. But I think I’ve made the best of everything in my life since that point.”

Stand Up Paddle Boarding: A Gateway to Balance
by guest blogger: Tamara Jacobi
Tamara Jacobi is a certified health and nutrition coach who received her training at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She is the founder of Jungle Girl Health offering health coaching to individuals who are ready to feel and look their best. Tamara is the co-owner, hostess and expedition guide for Tailwind Outdoor, a family-owned eco-lodge and adventure tour company in San Pancho, Mexico.
Life has a way of knocking me off balance on a regular basis. With the blink of an eye, things start spiraling out of control. A few short years ago I might have reached for the cookie jar (not an effective or healthy solution). Today, I load up my Stand-up Paddleboard and head to the nearest body of water.
You’ve probably heard of stand up paddle boarding (SUP), but have you tried it yet? As an athlete and a glutton for new challenges I was attracted to SUP several years ago. Watching the stand up paddle boarders at my local surf break definitely got my curiosity up. When I stepped onto the paddleboard for the first time I was captivated by the sensation of walking on water. But -- riding my first wave on the paddleboard was when I truly fell in love with this sport. What I didn’t know at the time was that paddleboarding would actually teach me the art of balance—not only on the board, but in life in general.
The sport of stand up paddle boarding is intrinsically about balance. When you step onto the board, your muscles engage as they search for balance. Yet, what’s particularly fascinating to me is that as the body finds balance physically, the mind also seems to follow. Physical balance requires metal focus. Once on the SUP board, you don’t really have much choice but to focus on balancing on the board -- unless you don’t mind falling off, which isn’t the worst thing if the water is warm! I’ve noticed that when I’m on my paddleboard, my internal conversation is quiet, and my hurries, worries and stresses fall away. I am focused only on my body, the board and the water beneath me. Life slows down and I find myself completely in the moment.
Having discovered this, paddleboarding has become my favorite way of restoring balance to my life. It is my technology detox—no computer or cell phone. It is my dose of natural nourishment—water, sunlight, oxygen, and the life around me—I soak it all in. It is a way for me to fully re-connect with myself. Stand up paddle boarding has become an invaluable sort of meditation. As a holistic nutrition coach, I might call paddleboarding a healing sport that offers fitness, nourishment and balance for the body and the mind.
From a fitness perspective, this sport is dynamic in so many ways. The simple act of standing on the board in flat water and paddling rhythmically forward engages muscles throughout the body, offering a great full body workout that is low impact yet challenging. And flatwater paddling is only the beginning! I’ve taken my paddleboard out to my local surf breaks, where I’ve been delighted to ride everything from tiny little waves to head-high swells. Stand up paddle boarding has been a wonderful addition to my Tailwind jungle lodge adventure tours and retreats down here in Mexico....come visit!. For those looking for less adrenaline and more zen, yoga on the paddle board is also an excellent option that can be a lot of fun. But it doesn’t end there! This summer I’ve been thrilled to bring my passion for paddleboarding to the rivers in Colorado. Running my first rapids on white water was an amazing experience that I will never forget.
Clearly, stand up paddle boarding has become and essential part of my holistic nourishment equation and I highly recommend that you give it a try! SUP boards are becoming more and more available, so be sure to seek them out at your local body of water, whether it is a river, lake or ocean.
Ready for some simple tips to get you started with embracing paddle boarding and tapping into the essence of balance? Check them out here!
Thank you, Tamara for this beautiful article on Stand-up Paddleboarding! I couldn't agree more that it restores balance to our lives, both on the water and off. Somedays, my 1 hour on the board is the only time I get to be free from technology all day long - and for that, I am forever grateful!

David Bergland, the Libertarian Party's 1984 presidential candidate, died last week at age 83 of prostate cancer.
Bergland's interest in libertarianism began with Ayn Rand and Objectivism, and after attending a Libertarian Party meeting in Orange County in 1973 he became the young party's 1974 candidate for attorney general in California. Two years later, he was tapped to be the party's national vice-presidential candidate—a fresh face who showed up late at the convention and became an acceptable compromise candidate after a heated struggle between others.
After serving five years as the party's national chair, he became its presidential nominee in 1984 (again more or less as a compromise candidate, when one of the expected main contenders dropped out at the last minute). Running against Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale, he earned a bit over 228,000 votes.
That was a big comedown after the Ed Clark/David Koch ticket of 1980, which had earned more than 921,000, but the party had lost much of its financial backing and experienced management support when the forces surrounding Ed Crane and the Koch brothers pulled out of the party, unhappy that their preferred candidate—Earl Ravenal—failed to get the '84 presidential nomination.
As Bergland told me in an interview for my book Radicals for Capitalism, "We didn't really have any campaign organization at the time of the convention, and as we tried to get set up and rolling all the Koch money was gone and the Crane people [were] not gonna bother with my campaign, so we thought: What can we do on short budget and with the primary asset the candidate? We decided the thing to do was to educate journalists. I could spend time most productively and build for the future by trying to do as good a job as possible getting journalists clear on who we were and what we stood for…
"[A] majority [of reporters] didn't know much of anything about us, and what they did know was a little bit wrong, but they were eager to know and very respectful. They weren't saying you guys are nuts for doing what you're doing, except for the standard: 'You don't have a chance to win, so why are you running?' I'd say, 'Mondale doesn't have a chance to win. Why don't you ask him that question?'"
Bergland's media strategy indeed got libertarian ideas in American newspapers, from Montana's Great Falls Tribune to Wisconsin's Stevens Point Journal, explaining a variety of then-quite-eccentric notions: that the U.S. doesn't need and can't afford to have tons of overseas military bases that don't defend the homeland, that education could be better done by private entities than government ones, that the state should prohibit neither drugs nor pornography nor gun ownership nor abortion.
Outside his libertarian activism, Bergland practiced law as a business attorney in private practice and taught law as an adjunct professor at Western State University College of Law in Fullerton, California and Irvine, California. He wrote an introductory book on libertarian thought for his campaign, Libertarianism in One Lesson.
Bergland wrote about his experience running for president for Reason, including this example of why he saw Libertarian presidential campaigns as having media benefits regardless of vote totals:
One young reporter [at an Albany, NY, press conference] was prompted to ask, "Mr. Bergland, would you describe our government as a totalitarian government?" After some thought, I responded, "No, not so long as we have a free press and open elections." How would I describe our government, he asked. I said the best description is "a corporate-fascist, welfare-warfare state."
The reporter asked to know what I meant. I explained…the hand-in-glove relationship between big government and big business—the subsidies, the bailouts, the protections against competition, the pervasive regulatory schemes—justify the "corporate-fascist" label. I added that our huge, costly, and demeaning welfare plantation system that benefits government employees while hurting the poor, and our global interventionist foreign policy that results in ever-increasing military spending and benefits the military-industrial complex at the expense of the people, justify the "welfare-warfare" label.
Those comments went out on the wire services, and for several days I had many opportunities to elaborate on my characterization of our government as a corporate-fascist, welfare-warfare state. No other presidential candidate, particularly Reagan or Mondale, is willing to challenge prevailing political views in such strong and accurate terms.
Every Libertarian presidential candidate since Bergland beat his national vote totals, which is exactly as he thought it should be.

His government introduced tougher limits on non-EEA
immigration and a freeze on tax rates (skattestoppet
in Danish). Certain taxes were lowered, but his coalition partners in the Conservative People's Party repeatedly argued for more tax cuts and a flat tax
rate at no higher than 50%. Rasmussen's government implemented an administrative reform reducing the number of municipalities (kommuner
) and replacing the thirteen
) with five
, which he referred to as "the biggest reform in thirty years". He authored several books about
and government structure. He resigned as Prime Minister in April 2009 to become Secretary General of NATO. His term as Secretary General was to end in the summer of 2014. However, on 11 December 2013 the North Atlantic Council
extended his term until 30 September 2014, in order to ensure the organisation of the 2014 NATO summit in Newport
Rasmussen was born in 1953 in
, to farmer Knud Rasmussen and Martha Rasmussen (née Fogh). His surname is Rasmussen, while Fogh, his mother's maiden name, is his
and not considered part of his last name. He is correctly referred to as Rasmussen (not Fogh Rasmussen), unless his full name (including his given name) is used. In Danish media and society, he has often been popularly referred to as Fogh Rasmussen, or merely Anders Fogh, when not referred to by his full name, mainly to distinguish him from other prominent politicians in the country with the same family name.
He matriculated in languages and social studies from Viborg Cathedral School, in 1969–1972.
and studied Economics at the University of Aarhus
, graduating in 1978.
He has been active in politics most of his life and has authored several books about taxation and government structure. He and his wife Anne-Mette (born 1958) married in 1978 and have three children: Henrik Fogh Rasmussen (born 1979), Maria (born 1981) and Christina (born 1984). Rasmussen also has six grandchildren.
As an amateur cyclist, Rasmussen completed part of the notorious
stage of the 2008 Tour de France
the day after the professional race took place.
His attendance at Le Tour
was at the invitation of Danish former cyclist Bjarne Riis
. Rasmussen is also an avid runner.
He has held positions in government and opposition throughout his career, first winning a seat in the
(Danish parliament) in 1978.
From 1987 to 1990 he was Minister for Taxation and from 1990 Minister for Economy and Taxation in the Conservative-led
In 1992 Rasmussen resigned from his ministerial posts after a report from a commission of inquiry had decided that he had provided the Folketing with inaccurate and incomplete information regarding his decision to postpone payment of several bills from
from one accounting year to the next. Rasmussen disagreed with the findings of the commission, but faced with the threat of a motion of no confidence
, he left his posts voluntarily.
After becoming Prime Minister, Rasmussen distanced himself from his earlier writings and announced the death of
during the national elections of 2005. Commonly regarded to have been inspired by the success of Tony Blair
, Rasmussen now seemed more in favour of the theories of
and his third way
. There was talk in
of revoking Fogh Rasmussen's award as a result of this, though this never happened.
His government enacted tough measures designed to limit the number of immigrants coming to Denmark, specifically as asylumseekers or through arranged marriages. However, his governments depended on the support of
, and it is impossible to draw a clear dividing line between his personal ideology and the required compromises with Dansk Folkeparti.
After the 2001 elections, Venstre banned all tax increases. Venstre campaigned by claiming that taxes had been growing constantly during the previous eight years under the
. While the overall tax burden was more or less unchanged from 1993 until 2001
, there was a shift from the taxation of income, both corporate and personal, to a personal consumption (especially through the "ecological taxes" (da.
)), which gave the average citizen the impression of rising taxes.
This "tax stop" was criticised by left wing parties, allegedly for being "antisocial" and "only for the rich." Since the tax stop also froze the tax on real property (da.
ejendomsværdiskat, 1%), it was beneficial to homeowners in densely populated regions that had experienced rising real estate values. The property tax was set at a nominal level — not at a relative level. While the rate was one percent when the tax stop was enacted, the rate is much less today when recent increases in property value (+20%/p.a. in large cities) are considered. The Danish Economic Council criticized this as unfairly benefiting current homeowners.
Even though the total tax burden was marginally higher in 2005 than in 2001, the tax stop was popular among voters. Thus, in January 2005, the
announced that they accepted the principle of a tax stop until at least one right-wing party was willing to participate in tax reform.
The tax stop has, however, been ineffective, judging by Venstre's intentions. Its goal was to halt the growth of public expenditures (and halt the growth of taxes), but even with cuts in public spending (which were considered aggressive by the political left wing), overall spending continued to rise by approximately one percentage point above inflation each year.
From 2004 and onwards, minor tax cuts came into effect, on two accounts:
- People with jobs got a 3% tax reduction on the 5.5% "bottom tax" (da.
- An "employment deduction" (da.
beskæftigelsesfradrag) was introduced. This initiative was to encourage people to get off welfare and take jobs instead.
- The bottom limit of the "middle tax" (da.
mellemskat) of 6%, was raised by 12.000
every year, over the next four years. This was supposed to limit the income stresses of middle incomes and families with children.
In 2009 a major tax reform was implemented. The overall marginal tax rate was reduced by 7.5%. In the end, the top tax rate (topskatten) was not changed, but the income level at which it applied was raised. This had the effect of removing 350,000 Danes from the top tax bracket. The medium tax rate was eliminated, and the lowest was reduced by 1.5%. Various other tax reforms were enacted such as an increase in the old age pension, incentives for renovation, and various initiatives designed to improve energy efficiency.
Finance Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, called it the biggest reduction in the marginal tax rate since the introduction of income tax in 1903.
Some of the more ambitious elements of the reforms (such as a lowering of the "top tax" rate) had to be changed or greatly reduced in order to receive the necessary support from the more tax friendly Danish People's Party.
Rasmussen held the rotating presidency of the
from July to December 2002, proving his dedication to a pro-EU agenda and the guiding principles of the Ellemann-Jensen doctrine
. He pursued this to its logical conclusion by publicly denouncing the
Danish collaboration policy
during its second World War occupation, the first Danish prime minister ever to do so. While his predecessors may not have favoured the policy, they had all implicitly maintained that it was 'a good thing',
because it had saved Danish lives.
During the EU presidency he was involved in a curious episode with then Italian Premier
. In a joint press conference on 4 October 2002 Berlusconi said: "Rasmussen is the most handsome prime minister in Europe. I think I will introduce him to my wife because he is even more handsome than Cacciari".
was an Italian philosopher and centrist politician opposing Berlusconi, and some gossip tabloids had alleged an affair between him and Berlusconi's second wife Veronica Lario
Rasmussen was puzzled by this remark and Berlusconi quickly told him he'd explain later.
As Prime Minister, Rasmussen strongly supported the
2003 Iraq War
. As in most European countries he faced considerable opposition, both in the parliament and in the general population. Subsequent opinion polls suggested the Danish population's opinion was split on the issue. One vocal protester managed to get into the Danish parliament during the period before the war, where he poured red paint on the prime minister while yelling "Du har blod på dine hænder" (literally: "You have blood on your hands"). A member of the Danish parliament for the socialist
, stated that it was a reaction she might have made under the circumstances, although she later denounced such behaviour. Denmark was one of only five countries to take part in the actual invasion operations (the others being the
) though the contingent mainly consisted of two minor warships and staff and radio units that were never involved in actual combat. In the months after the initial phase of the war, Danish troops participated in the
multi-national force stationed in Iraq
. Approximately 550
Danish troops were stationed in Iraq
from 2004 and into 2007, first at "Camp Dannevang" and later at "Camp Einherjer", both near Basra
. When the contingent of troops left around August 2007, it was not replaced and Denmark shifted its focus to non-military support around Baghdad. The official reason provided is that the Iraqi government should now be able to handle security in the Basra area. Critics of Rasmussen argued that the withdrawal was motivated by decreasing domestic support for the war.
In 2004 Rasmussen's government came under attack based on questions of how much intelligence it had with regard to
weapons of mass destruction
. The government held hearings, and was forced to publish classified reports it had consulted about the likelihood of banned weapons existing in Iraq. While the Blair and Bush administrations became the subject of criticism for extended periods because of their reliance on questionable intelligence, Rasmussen stayed clear of this controversy. This is probably largely because the motion passed by parliament (Folketinget) authorising the deployment of Danish troops states as the reason for the deployment Iraq's continued refusal to cooperate with UN inspectors in violation of the UN Security Council's resolution. The Danish deployment of troops was thus not formally based on a claim that Iraq had WMD's.
In March 2003, Rasmussen stated as one of the reasons to support a military intervention, "Irak har masseødelæggelsesvåben. Det er ikke noget vi tror. Vi ved det. Irak har selv indrømmet, at det har haft sennepsgas, nervegas, miltbrand, men Saddam vil ikke afregne. Han vil ikke fortælle os, hvor og hvordan de våben er blevet destrueret. Det ved vi fra FN's inspektører, så der er ingen tvivl i mit sind."
In English, this translates to:
Danish Defence Intelligence Service
) produced a classified report stating that it had no absolute proof of WMDs in Iraq. Rasmussen had access to this report and used it in other parts of his decision. Since the presence of substantial WMDs in Iraq was later refuted, Rasmussen has focused almost exclusively on the tyrannical nature of Saddam Hussein's regime.
A former FE
analyst, Major Frank Grevil
, was sentenced to four months in prison for leaking the information to the press. Grevil argued that Rasmussen either lied about or misunderstood the content of the secret reports in his presentations to parliament. During Rasmussen's administrations, Denmark deployed troops to
. All three missions met only minor political opposition. Rasmussen as a prime minister rejected insistent demands from the opposition for investigations into Denmark's involvement in the Iraq war, similar to the ones in the United States and the UK, on the grounds that the his government took arms against Saddam not because of possible arms possessed, but because of Saddam's failure to comply with UN resolutions.
couples became legal in Denmark in 1989. In January 2004, Rasmussen stated his belief that homosexuals should be able to marry in religious ceremonies, which were not allowed at the time in the Evangelical Lutheran State Church of Denmark
, but he has said it should be up to religious communities to decide whether to perform ceremonies for gay couples.
On 18 January 2005 Rasmussen called an
for 8 February 2005. He delayed the call by a couple of weeks because of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake
which killed several Danes. His government was criticized for its allegedly slow response to that crisis, although a clear majority applauded the government's actions.
Although his party's support was reduced from the 2001 election, costing it four seats,
was able to maintain its coalition through gains by other parties, and on 18 February Rasmussen formed the Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen II
Rasmussen received the most "personal votes" ever of any politician in the Folketing (Denmark's Parliament) with 61,792.
A major period of conflict in Rasmussen's political career concerned a set of cartoons printed in
, a major Danish newspaper. In September 2005 the newspaper printed a full page with 12 cartoons depicting various interpretations of Muhammad. Due to the cartoons portraying Muhammad as a terrorist, some Muslims found the cartoons offensive. Rasmussen denied a request from 11 ambassadors of Middle-Eastern countries to discuss the issue. Rasmussen described the controversy as Denmark's worst international crisis since World War II. Later he stated, that he "was deeply distressed that the cartoons were seen by some Muslims as an attempt by Denmark to mark and insult or behave disrespectfully towards Islam or Mohammed."
One of Rasmussen's main initiatives was the introduction of municipal reform, the aim of which was the geographic and administrative consolidation of smaller municipalities and the abolition of counties. Major areas of public services, such as the national health service, were consolidated into five regional bodies, while the number of municipalities was reduced from 271 to 98. The reform was ratified on 16 June 2005 and was effective as of 1 January 2007.
In October 2007, Rasmussen called the
2007 general election
, which was held on 13 November.
His official reason for doing so was to allow parliament to face important upcoming decisions without being distracted by a future election, with welfare reform being cited as an example. Initial polls had predicted that neither the incumbent alliance nor the left-wing opposition would win a majority, leaving the centrist New Alliance
with the balance of power.
At 11:30 p.m. on the night of the election, Rasmussen claimed victory on the basis of almost-complete results.
By the morning of 14 November 2007, after results came through from the Faroe Islands
, his centre-right coalition of the
Conservative People's Party
and the Danish People's Party
secured 90 seats, the minimum number required for a majority.
Rasmussen went on to become the longest-ruling Liberal Prime Minister of Denmark.
Shortly after his second reelection in 2007, rumours began to spread in the Danish media that Rasmussen was a candidate for high-profile international jobs. A first rumour was that he was informally one of the top candidates for the new position of
President of the EU
that could be created when the Lisbon Treaty
would come into effect.
Following the Irish rejection
of the treaty in June 2008, it became obvious that this position would not be created in the near future. Rumors then spread around Rasmussen's candidacy for Secretary General of NATO.
Rasmussen denied the rumors until a few days before the official announcement of his selection was made.
After he was confirmed as the NATO Secretary General, Rasmussen announced that he would resign as Prime Minister of Denmark on 5 April 2009.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen became the 12th
Secretary General on 1 August 2009, succeeding Jaap de Hoop Scheffer
, who held the post from 2004 until 2009.
The announcement was made on 4 April 2009, at the 2009 Strasbourg–Kehl summit
. During the final selection process only one country, Turkey, remained opposed to Rasmussen's candidacy, partly because of his handling of the
in 2005, when the publication in some Danish newspapers of cartoons of Muhammad caused violent protests.
Another major element of Turkey's opposition was Denmark's tolerance of Roj TV
which is claimed by the Turkish government to be a mouthpiece for the Kurdistan Workers Party
(PKK). Eventually, Turkey withdrew its opposition to Rasmussen's appointment when it received assurances from US president Barack Obama
that Turkish officials would be appointed to three high NATO posts.
In April 2011, in relation to the
2011 Libyan civil war
Rasmussen said that on the day NATO started
of the mission under the U.N. mandate, the alliance ruled out arming the rebels. Rasmussen said the coalition under his control was clear about its mission. "We are not in Libya to arm people. We are in Libya to protect civilians against attacks" from loyalists of the country's Muammar Gaddafi
government, he said at that time.
In October 2011, the intensive 7-month NATO intervention had "now moved much closer" to its end, according to Rasmussen. The last two major outposts of Gaddafi loyalists—Gaddafi's hometown of
and the town of Bani Walid
—had fallen and the deposed leader
had been killed
as he tried to flee from Sirte
Gaddafi's killing came with close NATO aerial support of Libyan ground forces.
The Secretary General normally serves for a term of four years with a one-year extension option. On 3 October 2012, Fogh Rasmussens term was extended one year, so it ends on 31 July 2014.
In February 2013 in the first visit of a NATO Secretary General to Ireland for a meeting with EU defence ministers, he said NATO had an "open-door policy" towards membership of the organisation. "Our door remains open for European countries, European democracies that fulfil the necessary criteria and can contribute to Euro-Atlantic security, but of course it’s for individual partners to decide how they want to develop their relationship and partnership with NATO." Ireland is not a member of the organisation but ties through the
Partnership for Peace
Programme (PFP), a bilateral programme that allows for Irish forces to be used for peacekeeping and crisis management where there is a UN mandate and parliamentary approval.
On 19 December 2013, Rasmussen was invited to speak at a periodic meeting of the
by the Prime Minister of the UK, David Cameron
, in opposition to plans proposed by the
External Action Service
to create a European Air Force
composed of surveillance drones, heavy transport airplanes, and air-to-air refuelling planes. This plan was supported by France, Spain, Italy, Poland and Germany who together have QMV
Rasmussen's position was opposed to that of European Parliament
President Martin Schulz
, who made a presentation at the same meeting where he said that "If we wish to defend our values and interests, if we wish to maintain the security of our citizens, then a majority of
consider that we need a headquarters for civil and military missions in Brussels and deployable troops." Rasmussen was satisfied with the role of NATO in European defence matters and saw every reason to maintain the status quo.
Rasmussen wrote an
piece in London's Daily Telegraph
on 6 April 2014 to warn allies to invest in their armed forces, and to maintain that "Russia’s illegal aggression against Ukraine and its continued breach of international law" were clear.
Russian Foreign Ministry
blamed Rasmussen for his "active employment of double standards."
In June 2014, Rasmussen claimed that
"engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations - environmental organisations working against shale gas - to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas", without providing evidence for this claim.
On 27 May 2016 Rasmussen became non-staff advisor to
Rasmussen also convened the Friends of Ukraine group
of sitting and former senior politicians and diplomats to raise international awareness of Ukraine and to keep domestic reform on the agenda.

Lady and The Tramp
With our apologies to Walt Disney lovers, lady is a tramp. Nowadays, it is best to avoid the word lady, which has a paternalistic connotation that gentleman does not have. Some women take offence at being referred to as ladies, depending on the context. Just picture the 1960s: the ladies gossip and wash the dishes in the kitchen and the gentlemen retire to the living room to smoke. On the other hand, very few people would object to “Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.”
Another expression that is being phased out is “master bedroom” because “master” is considered offensive by some people (master versus slave). It is being replaced by “owner’s bedroom” or “owner’s suite” in the U.S. for residential real estate.

After lots to and throwing over which Logo to use, and discussions with my lecture I decided to step away from the Black and white Myopia logo, as it was said it looked dated. This is the logo that was most appealing below to us both, I felt that I would be able to use the logo more efficiently across all the deliverables.
I decided to tweak the existing logo some more to make make the slogan more defined
As you can see I turned swirl and text Myopia. I used the typeface Saffran Bold for the slogan and added a question mark at the end, I felt that it needed to be a question rather than a statement.
Now that I had my final logo, I was able to begin developing the animated logo. I was going to have it similar to the animated logo that I did for the black logo. From the previous animated logo I was able to reuse the existing logo files and the glitch for the backdrop.
This is my final animated logo. If I’m honest I prefer my previous logo as it think that it was more in keeping with the meaning of the word Myopia. However I am pleased with my final outcome. | <urn:uuid:5e9f1a39-cd05-4672-98dc-1c1183cfdb6a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://lambchopsgraphics.wordpress.com/2017/12/05/final-logo-and-animated-logo/ | 2019-06-16T18:49:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998291.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616182800-20190616204800-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.987 | 240 | [

The Spirit. It seems to most of us He is the forgotten part of the Trinity family. As I was reading John 3, this occurred to me: What if every day I got up and talked to, loved on and interacted with my two daughters and ignored my son? How would he feel? What would I miss by not engaging him every day? How is the Holy Spirit any different?
This week my father-in-law shared with me that the Trinity is the picture perfect family; what a great analogy. Jesus is talking about the person of the Holy Spirit here in chapter 3 verse 5: “Jesus answered, I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.”
I don’t want to live by the flesh. As they say here in the South, “It ain’t purdy”. Today, I have to clean. When you combine cleaning with working with my children, it can sometimes get ugly. I have an agenda; they have a certain speed (less than a turtle at times). Next thing you know, Mama is yelling. So this morning, as my husband was leaving for work, I asked him to pray for me. He took my face in his hands (trying not to laugh) and prayed that today, as I clean my house, I would not yell at my kids, but clean with the help and power of the Holy Spirit. I believe today that I will not give into the flesh. (I’ll let you know tomorrow how the new partnership went)!
What is your area where you struggle to walk with the Spirit? I’d love to pray for you! | <urn:uuid:31048a5f-02a1-4705-9ed0-6c14939d7130> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://lynncowell.com/cleaning-with-the-spirit/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-06-16T19:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998291.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616182800-20190616204800-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.983479 | 366 | [

The Railroad Commission of Texas, the state’s regulator of the oil and gas industry, spent millions of dollars plugging hundreds of wells in 2016, but it still fell short of its goal to plug nearly 900 wells, according to the agency’s Oilfield Cleanup Program Annual report.
The report was discussed during Tuesday’s commission meeting, the last meeting for this year. The agency is tasked with plugging thousands of wells abandoned by oil and gas operators, and uses a mix of federal grants and industry fees to pay for it. The state’s backlog of so-called orphan wells is estimated to be more than 9,000. Inactive wells that go unplugged are considered a health and safety hazard, and state regulations require that operators plug wells. Often, when operators can’t pay to plug a well, the state assumes the cost.

In case you haven't noticed, I love to hike. I love to get outdoors in the wee hours and move. That's fun for me. That's the easy part.
What is not as fun for me is going to the gym...doing my reps and sets of squats, push ups, crunches, planks, curls etc.
If I don't keep my core strong, I ache all over, my back hurts and I am all out of whack.....so, typically after my time hiking up a mountain, I head down and I go to the gym, I do the work.
Guess what, That's kinda like life and ministry. Fellowship with others as Christ has called us to do can be the fun part, but it's the time in the Word that keeps our core strong, without that time and the strengthening of our spiritual muscles, we become weak, we limp and we walk hesitantly.
So whether in body or spirit, keep your core strong today and work out those muscles, the muscles that no one sees, the muscles that can change your life and your walk AND the lives of those around you.
Happy Workout! I love you in the Lord!

Jerry A. Coyne is professor emeritus in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. He is the author of “Why Evolution Is True” and “Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible.”
On New Year’s Day, 1860, four men sat around a dinner table in Concord, Mass., contemplating a hefty green book that had just arrived in America. Published in England barely a month before, Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” was sent by the author himself to Asa Gray, a Harvard botanist who would become one of Darwin’s staunchest defenders. Gray gave his heavily annotated copy to his wife’s cousin, child-welfare activist Charles Loring Brace, who, lecturing in Concord, brought it to the home of politician Franklin Sanborn. Besides Sanborn and Brace, the distinguished company included the philosopher Bronson Alcott and the author/naturalist Henry David Thoreau.
According to Randall Fuller, this meeting changed America by catalyzing the movement to rid the nation of slavery. Although Gray and the Concord Four were ardent abolitionists, only Gray was interested in the recondite biological details of Darwin’s theory. The rest of them focused on the book’s implicit message about human races.
This is curious, because “On the Origin of Species” carefully sidesteps the topic of human evolution and says nothing at all on the subject of race. Darwin was so concerned about the heretical nature of his message that he decided to avoid mentioning the most incendiary of all his conclusions: that humans, supposedly created in the image of God, were in fact nothing more than modified great apes. He therefore devoted just 12 timid words to human evolution in the entire 500-page work: “Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history.”
But that was enough. Reading between the lines, everyone, including the Concord Four, saw what Darwin had kept to himself: that humans had, like all other species, evolved via natural selection from ancient ancestors.
What is the relevance of all this to abolitionism? At the time, it was debated whether humans had a single origin or several, with each race being separately created. The multiple-creation school, polygenism, was popular with apologists for slavery. If, as they supposed, the Adam-and-Eve creation produced whites, but other races derived from earlier and inferior acts of creation, then whites were justified in applying a different moral standard to people of nonwhite race, who were not created in God’s image. Polygenists sometimes saw blacks as subhuman intermediates or even as members of a different species, justifying their subjugation and enslavement.
But if humans had a single origin (monogenism), as Darwin proposed for other species, then all human races were genealogically connected: Blacks were every bit as human as whites — equivalent to distant cousins — and slavery became morally untenable. This is perhaps one of the very few times in the history of evolutionary biology that Darwin’s ideas aligned with a literal interpretation of the Bible. Like Darwin, the Genesis account suggests a single origin for all humans — courtesy of Adam and Eve — with no mention of multiple creations. This detail was overlooked by advocates of slavery, who proved to be creative and slippery theologians. According to Fuller, the excitement Darwin brought to Gray and the Concord Four came from providing a scientific justification for overturning the multiple-origins argument.
“The Book That Changed America” gives a vivid picture of the intellectual life of Concord, infused not just with abolitionism but with the Transcendentalist philosophy that saw a divine spark within each human, prizing subjective experience over hard facts. Fuller’s story ranges widely and sometimes discursively, including colorful characters such as Louisa May Alcott (daughter of Bronson), who, before gaining fame with “Little Women,” wrote unpublishable books about interracial love; Louis Agassiz, another Harvard professor, a racist and polygenist implacably opposed to Darwin’s theories; John Brown, whose disastrous attempt to start a slave rebellion at Harper’s Ferry was secretly financed by Sanborn; Frederick Douglass, the former slave turned orator and writer; and even P.T. Barnum, whose interest in science was driven by his desire to turn everything into a pay-per-view spectacle.
Unfortunately, Fuller’s engrossing account of the literary and intellectual hub of New England does little to support his thesis that Darwin’s book gave powerful ammunition to abolitionists, ultimately contributing to the Civil War. That is dubious for two reasons.
First, although the Concord abolitionists found a modicum of support in Darwin’s ideas, they already had strong moral arguments against slavery, and at any rate had almost no influence on the conflagration that began in 1861 but had been smoldering for decades. Second, Darwin’s ideas gave ammunition to the pro-slavery movement as well, for “social Darwinists” simply co-opted Darwin’s idea of competition among groups in nature to argue that whites had outstripped blacks in the struggle for existence. Like the Bible itself, “Origin” has been cited in support of diverse and often conflicting ideologies.
It’s worth noting that the real revolution wrought by “Origin” — the replacement of a divine creationism with a purely naturalistic explanation of life’s history — had nothing to do with slavery. Within a decade of the book’s publication, virtually all American scientists and intellectuals were on board with Darwin’s ideas, which changed not only the whole of biology but also our self-image. Gone was the idea of humans as God’s special creation, replaced by the view that we are a product of a shuffling by natural selection of randomly arising variation — a process involving huge amounts of suffering and death. In a letter to Gray, Darwin admitted that the facts of evolution didn’t comport with the Abrahamic God: “But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I should wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ [parasitic wasps] with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.”
It was this issue of God and spirituality that led four of the five main characters in Fuller’s book to ultimately reject Darwin’s scientific message. The exception was Thoreau, who spent his last years obsessively cataloguing data on the Concord woodlands in a nebulous project cut short by his death from tuberculosis. But even Thoreau couldn’t fully embrace Darwin’s message of naturalism, seeing science as powerless to explain things like emotions and behavior. Transcendentalists such as Alcott and Ralph Waldo Emerson, with their emphasis on the spiritual over the material, read into Darwin a misguided teleology of increasing perfection of the human soul. Brace became a theistic evolutionist, seeing God as masterminding the whole process. In the end, even the stalwart Gray was driven by his faith to see evolution as partly divine, proposing that God himself created the variation — now known to be mutations in the DNA — that fueled evolution.
Things haven’t changed much since 1860. A 2014 Gallup poll showed that 42 percent of Americans are young-Earth creationists, while another 31 percent are theistic evolutionists like Gray, accepting some form of human evolution but insisting it was directed by God. And only 19 percent of us — 1 in 5 — adhere to Darwin’s view that humans evolved in a purely naturalistic way with no supernatural help. Slavery, thankfully, is no longer with us, but, like the Transcendentalists, most of us still insist that a divine hand guided the origin of our species.

Much has been written lately about new security pat-downs and scanning machines at the nation’s airports. Here’s an update on whether the more intimate scanners will be at use soon in Arkansas.
It’s a good bet that body-scanning x-ray machines — the so-called “digital strip search,” which can see hazy gray images of the naked torso through your clothes — are coming soon to an airport near you, but the Transportation Security Administration won’t say when they’ll land at Little Rock National Airport (or the Northwest Arkansas airport), citing security concerns. TSA spokesperson Sari Koshetz said the machines are now in place at nearby airports in St. Louis, Gulfport, Miss., Dallas, New Orleans, and Memphis, but said it’s TSA policy to not discuss when the machines will be installed elsewhere until a formal announcement is made.
For now, travelers going through the security checkpoint at Little Rock National Airport may be singled out for one of the more thorough hand searches the TSA rolled out nationwide in October, which include TSA agents purposely touching the clothed genital area as part of the search. Koshetz said the more thorough searches — which many travelers, along with pilots and flight attendants unions, have characterized as a “grope” — are always performed by a same-gender officer, and can be performed in an area out of view of the public if the traveler requests it. Koshetz said the more thorough searches were instituted in response to a specific threat that terrorists would seek to “manipulate societal norms to evade detection.” When asked if that translates to: “hide a weapon near their crotch, because Americans generally don’t like anybody other than their doctor or significant other touching them there,” Koshetz wouldn’t comment for the record.
Koshetz said that travelers may be subjected to the more thorough body searches randomly, because they set off the metal detectors, or — in the case of airports with body scanners — because they opt out of going through the machine.
— David Koon
BE WARNED: Lest you think you can simply throw up your hands in disgust and leave the airport when a TSA agent comes at you with the rubber gloves, here’s the story of a California man who may face an $11,000 dollar fine for opting to leave the airport rather than submit to either the body scanner or a genital-fondling search.
PS — This might be a good place for a link to the Arkansas Business coverage of other news at the Little Rock National Airport today — a ceremonial beginning to a 10-year $53.6 million expansion that will add gates to the concourse among other improvements. | <urn:uuid:09a5dcd4-012f-4ec8-8b23-c635b4917eb4> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2010/11/16/invasion-of-the-body-scanners | 2019-06-20T09:51:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999200.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620085246-20190620111246-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.940087 | 568 | [

The trial has started of eight officers charged with the murder of a prominent human rights activist in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
They are accused of killing Floribert Chebeya, head of the charity Voice of the Voiceless, in June.
His body was found bound and gagged in the back of his car after being called to a meeting with police chief John Numbi, which did not take place.
Gen Numbi has been suspended but does not face any charges.
The BBC's Thomas Hubert at the court in the capital, Kinshasa, says Gen Numbi was unexpectedly presented to the court as a witness.
About 300 people have turned up for the trial, our reporter says.
The officers all face charges of abduction, assassination, terrorism, conspiracy and mislaying of weapons.
Three of the accused are on the run and will be tried in absentia.
A lawyer representing Voice of the Voiceless said the case should have been heard before a high military court.
"There is no judge with a rank equal to his [Gen Numbi], so it was the head of state's responsibility to promote magistrates so that they could match his rank and try him, otherwise it is just the continuation of impunity," Peter Ngomo told the BBC.
Mr Chebeya received regular threats in a career spanning more than 20 years.
On the day he disappeared, Mr Chebeya sent a text message to his wife saying that he was at the police headquarters for the meeting, but was not heard from again.
Both the police and Voice of the Voiceless have confirmed that the meeting with Gen Numbi did not take place.
Mr Chebeya's driver, Fidele Bazana, is still missing.
Our reporter says the trial will probably last for several months, especially if Mr Chebeya's supporters put up a legal fight to bring Gen Numbi before the court, as they have promised. | <urn:uuid:3fd583de-da2d-4311-bcb3-c6f7719b80ab> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.congoplanet.com/news/1765/sendmail.jsp | 2019-06-24T22:23:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999740.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624211359-20190624233359-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.983629 | 408 | [

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial kickoff of camping season in the Northwest.
For many of us, that typically means blue-tarp camping
under soggy skies.
But we relish that, because we're hearty outdoorsy Northwest people who don’t mind getting wet, right? Whether you camp on the coast, in the Puget Sound or Willamette Valley lowlands, or east of the Cascades, we expect Memorial Day camping to be an exercise in staying dry.
We also can count on the most-charming-of-all camping rituals: the campfire. Ember-roasted marshmallows. Sizzling weenies on a stick. Swapping stories and sharing laughs around the flickering flames.
Enjoy your campfire now, and don’t take it for granted. If this summer pans out like recent ones, parched forests and parks will see campfire bans
come July or August. That includes fires in established fire pits.
For my family, camping without a campfire is a hollow occasion. The fire not only roasts food, exudes warmth, and wards off bugs, it’s a social magnet and mesmerizing entertainment.
We camped one Labor Day at Salmon la Sac during a campfire ban, and we mimicked a fire by lighting my Coleman lantern and setting it in the fire pit. We gathered around the glow and made the most of it until the evening chill drove us to our sleeping bags. Not so fun.
When campfires are banned, that usually includes briquettes. So if you’re planning a late-summer trip, you might need a pressured gas or propane stove to prepare meals. I see there’s one on sale right now at REI.
If you’re like me and camping isn’t camping without a fire, consider choosing alternate locations now for late-summer trips. National Forest campgrounds are often the first to ban campfires, but I rarely see bans at campgrounds near ocean beaches and inland waters.

Keloid scars are difficult to treat and frequently recur after treatment. US scientists have now identified an altered gene that may play a role in the development of keloid scars. Their study was presented at the "2015 Triological Combined Sections Meeting" in San Diego (California).
Researchers at the Henry Ford Clinic in Detroit (Michigan) studied the gene expression in keloid scar tissue and in healthy tissue. In so doing, they discovered that the AHNAK gene was comparatively significantly under-expressed in three of five keloid samples studied. In this small sample, gene expression was consistent with methylation.
AHNAK is found on the cell membrane of epithelial cells and in the nucleus and cytoplasm of other cell types such as fibroblasts. Until now, it had been assumed that AHNAK plays a role in cell adhesion and in exocytosis.
There is now a better understanding as to how keloids scars develop, thus offering a potential target for therapies, said study author Lamont R. Jones. In addition, the role of the gene in the general wound healing process was also clearer, which may help to prevent scar formation, said the researchers. | <urn:uuid:f1882e96-d421-47be-86b9-ed5f21405fd5> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.semal.org/es/component/k2/gene-responsible-for-keloid-scars-identified | 2019-06-26T01:59:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000044.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626013357-20190626035357-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.970861 | 248 | [

Love the current logo. How about trying to come up with a Rust+Wasm logo as those two are going to be best buddies by the looks of things?
I think the serifs on the “R” are causing much of the visual clutter and lack of recognizability (for me at least). The bottom serifs make the R look somewhat like a “B” that has been lowered into the gear.
One could try to use a font that’s more like this:
These variants aim to look less like a B. I think, I like the second one the most. Of course, with the R touching the chainring with its feet, it’s always possible that someone might think it’s a B.
Completely removing the serifs looked awkward to me because it felt unbalanced:
There already exists a Rust + Wasm logo, used by the rustwasm team, if with “current” you mean the actual Rust logo:
Five holes in a star shape look better than four holes in a cross shape in my eyes.
Sorry I was bored . Yes, I love the S of Rust, it’s a shame we dropped it, especially since there’s a language called R.
3 posts were split to a new topic: Ideas for a Rayon logo
I think people should spend more time and efforts on stabilizing the ABI and making ‘asm!()’ stable, rather than polishing the logo.
Those are two very different skill sets. I doubt either one would block work on the other.
@mouse07410 As a beginner in Rust, I’ll gladly put some efforts stabilizing the ABI (once I know what it is). Is a due date of 4 years good?
I agree. An ABI would be fantastic. . I just don’t feel that there’s an easy way to get started with that.
I agree. I guess my frustration is with the perpetual lack of progress in the areas I mentioned, which in my opinion are far more important.
Also, note that these problems are not unique to Rust. Other languages have dealt with, and are dealing with them now. For example, GCC, Clang with LLVM seem to manage OK, even if their solution isn’t perfect.
Perhaps the benefits of waiting forever for a perfect solution aren’t as great as those of settling down on something simply acceptable.
It’s highly unlikely that most people would care what you think they should be doing with their time.
It is like this: there are issues that lower the appeal of Rust to the wider community, and hurt Rust’s adoption rate. For people who do care to see Rust improving and gaining wider acceptance, it should make sense to pay attention to those issues. And perhaps, a reminder of where the real obstacles to adoption are (hint: it’s not the logo), might help them prioritize their efforts better.
For those “with idle hands” who merely look for ways to amuse themselves - absolutely, they wouldn’t care what I may think about it. Not would I care for them to care.
Hey, I’m trying to improve Rust with non programmer skills, because most programmers won’t see the need for improvement of a logo. I have already contributed to the Rust community by coding, but there’s plenty of other people capable of doing that, in contrast to designing stuff, which is probably less common among programmers.
Yes, you are correct - graphical design skills appear to be rather less common. It’s not only that most of the programmers won’t see the need for the logo improvement, they probably won’t do a stunning good job there. So, no offense meant to good graphics designers
But, as I said before, I was venting my frustration with the fact that while there’s definitely/obviously more of those who can design code than of those who can design graphics (well ) - issues that appear to be critical for usability and adoption into wider ecosystems, show little to no progress. Add if people chose to address easier issues because, well, it’s (relatively) easy, rather than dealing with more complicated ones that nonetheless cannot be kicked down the road forever.
Sorry for not spending my free time the way you want then
I think it’s really cool of you to volunteer your time on this.
What I think I see from these suggestions is that I really like the current Rust logo. Yes, it is outside of the narrow window of ordinary design space that we’re used to from Silicon Valley tech companies, but that’s a good thing overall. The design space for logos has gotten way too small, and all logos look the same now. Rust’s logo really pops.
The ones you did where it’s still a gear but it has fewer spokes - those I like more! Particularly the first one that is sharp and toothy. Rust is a serious industrial tool and deserves to have a spiky logo.
As far as I’m concerned, creating a logo to replace the current one was never my intention. I just wanted to kill boredom
IMO, this one, suggested by @johannesvollmer, is the best one so far:
I would simplify the
R though, it resembles

"We believe that Sport Chalet will benefit greatly from its addition to Vestis. With the talent and resources that already exist within the Vestis family, we envision a multitude of programs that will leverage the knowledge, talent, and relationships of our three retail brands to the benefit of customers and vendors alike."
Craig L. Levra will remain in his position as CEO at Sport Chalet and continue to run that business out of the present Los Angeles-area office, reporting to Vestis CEO Mark Walsh. Vestis's corporate headquarters will remain in Meriden, CT. Vestis does not anticipate any Sport Chalet store closings as a result of this transaction. Sport Chalet, Bob's and EMS will each continue to operate under their respective brands.

British audit and consulting company EY (formerly Ernst & Young) published a study ICO, examined a total of 372 of the project.
Analysis of investments from Q1 2015 to November 2017 leads to the total volume of borrowed funds of $3.78 billion, twice as much as venture capital investments in blockchain projects. In addition, another $400 million has been collected by companies registered in China, who were obliged to return funds to investors after the September ban ICO. And if in two years (from July 2015 to March 2017) investments increased by $190 million in April of last year there was a sharp jump, ICO expenditures increased from $290 million to $1.05 billion for 3 months, and by November 2017 increased in 4 times. However, since the end of last year the market size of the ICO is falling, and fewer projects achieve stated objectives in June 2017 — 93% , in November — 23%.
The majority of ICO was conducted in the USA ($1.031 billion), China ($452 million, including Hong Kong) and Russia ($310 million). With regard to regulation and support the blockchain industry, leading other countries. The study shows that between 2008 and 2015, the regulators did not pay attention to the crypto industry. The first was supported by ICO in 2016, Singapore, Switzerland and the Isle of man. In the first half of 2017, the status of friendly to scriptvalium the country from Russia. Of these States, the Isle of man, the only not changed his position and continues to actively support the industry.
To discuss the crypto industry and to warn about the risks of the first, in 2016, become the regulators of China, Japan, Malaysia and Russia. In January 2017 Japan first began to regulate crypto-region in accordance with existing laws, from June to the scheme joined the United States and Canada, and from September to regulation under the laws of the country and in accordance with the nature of crypto-projects launched in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Estonia, New Zealand and Lithuania.
The most successful blockchain projects are implemented in the development of the blockchain infrastructure, second place — Finance, the third — social media, content and advertising, and the fourth became the leader of the games industry and virtual reality.
Most of the ICO projects use the existing blockchain platform, and according to the ICO Watch List for December 2017 became the most popular blockchain Ethereum is running on 77% of the ICO. 13% of projects have created their own platform, another 4% used the Waves.
Risks identified in relation to the ICO relate to smart contracts, which prescribe the functions and conditions of use of the token and may contain hidden conditions or errors in the program code; unreliable assessment of tokens based on the «syndrome of lost profits» (fear of missing out, FOMO), and not on forecasts of development of the project and the nature of the token; and the increasingly common hacking attacks.
Regarding the latter, the study revealed that more than 10% of the collected during the ICO funds lost due to fraud. The founders of the project are concentrated on attracting investors, not for security, because attacks most often exposed to the most high-profile ICO: hackers attract the volume, haste, lack of centralized control, the irreversibility of transactions and information chaos. The most popular form of attack by the year 2017 has become phishing, followed by frequency followed by a DDoS attack, hacking the website or application, cyber attacks through the employees of the company IT infrastructure or investors, as well as the hacking of exchanges and wallets.
Risks for investors can be associated with the nature of the project, even if it is not Scam. In most projects there is no reason to use the blockchain and cryptocurrency, so many do not go from the idea stage to implementation, or the implementation fails. Projects still planned and presented product, often begin to accept Fiat currency, reducing the value of your token.
White paper most projects, a complete cliche, which attract inexperienced investors, but says nothing about the nature of the project. The most common of them — the «new generation platform», «the first project, releasing a billion-dollar market», «a decentralized market, which transfers control into the hands of users», «we are creating a community/ecosystem/economy», «no corrupt Central government», «the most underrated token».
ICO PlexCorps, whose assets were frozen by order of the SEC in connection with the violation of the securities act, used the following language: «the decentralized world crypto currency next generation, which will extend the application and increase the number of users as easy as possible for the use.»
Returning to the problem of evaluating the tokens, the researchers believe that today it resembles the value of gold or fashion collections, when a limited supply creates high demand. In most cases the popularity of a new cryptocurrency is associated with the HYIP, quality White paper and technology of licensee — fixed-price token and issue or not fixed, when the price of the token and issue set after ICO. The second view discourages investment because of uncertainty of the total funding.
Traditional assessment of a token specified in the study based on parameters that are difficult to identify at this stage of development: number of tokens (T) and their turnover in a certain period (V) relative to price (P) and the volume of services (Q) platform during the same period: TV = PQ. In addition, the very nature of the token is ambiguous and difficult to assess: investors expect growth rates of cryptocurrencies and the number of buyers by reducing the cost of services, which it paid.
In the end, the authors propose a set of rules for each of the participating parties, which coordinated «Alliance» action will turn the blockchain into an effective tool of collecting funds for quality projects.
So, the founders must provide a clear rationale for the use of the blockchain and its own token, to make the process similar to IPO ICO to balance the price of the token to verify that the tools and personal information of investors is kept safe during and after the ICO, to use a transparent legal structure, thus make sure compliance with legal standards not only in the country where the project was, but in all areas where the planned activities and the use of the token.
Investors are obliged to ensure public transparency of the blockchain, to perform code smart contract platform, which should be free, and invest «smart money» without succumbing to «the fear to lose benefits».
From the regulators want to associate crypto terminology with existing notions, and only in extreme cases to introduce new terms, to standardize minimum reporting requirements, protect the rights of the holders of the tokens until they are used to pay for the platform, to regulate the circulation of tokens, including changes in emissions and functionality and interact with regulators of other jurisdictions, at least with the jurisdictions, to the sphere of influence which is the largest part of the ICO and to which belong the majority of investors and kryptomere. | <urn:uuid:33d4a02f-0dba-48cc-89ac-ac110efee0c5> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://5e2.ru/2019/06/14/what-do-we-know-about-the-past-ico-and-how-to-regulate-future-ico/ | 2019-06-19T06:59:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998923.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619063711-20190619085711-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.946381 | 1,430 | [

Rainbow 88 recently presented us with a cheque for £2200.00
The Cheadle-based restaurant does incredible amounts of fundraising work for a range of charities.
The total amount is now at £2294.75, and was raised through a number of events organised by Linda Lee from the restaurant.
At her daughter Yasmin Lee’s 18th birthday party, Yasmin invited guests and asked for donations towards Stockport Mind instead of gifts.

Most of us have been there – someone in your life asks you for a favor which you simply cannot do. Even if the favor is something you really don’t want to do, what happens? You do it anyway.
When it comes to setting boundaries, it is a widely-known fact that people are viewed as cold or aloof. On the contrary, one can be warm, outgoing, and engaging and still have good boundaries.
I have struggled for many years on this subject, as the fear of not pleasing others, having poor self-esteem and aversion to conflict kept me from being happy and outgoing. One who possesses poor self-esteem may not feel that they are deserving of good treatment. If one is conflict-averse, then asserting a boundary can feel like conflict is inevitable.
While these traits can seem like flaws, there are actually habits that were repeated in times of self-doubt and fear. Once one can find the inner strength to set boundaries, there will be no regret of what is done or undone.
The first time I set boundaries it was awkward and uncomfortable – only for me.
In the summer of 1993 I was asked to host an engagement party for one of my dearest friends. The bridesmaids asked if the party would be hosted at my apartment, and as a people-pleaser at the time I was sick with worry that in saying no I would no longer be viewed as nice or accommodating.
While I wanted so badly to say yes, I had planned a much-needed getaway on the day of the party and just couldn’t cancel my plans. I conveyed this nervously to her friends, who were neither bothered or frustrated at my decision. They even changed the date of the party to accommodate the conflict.
Of course, life doesn’t always work out this smoothly, but this experience helped me realize how most of our worries originate from a disillusioned mind. There I was – frightened to be difficult with anyone, while my anxiety it turned out to be nothing at all.
“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.” ~ Brene Brown
One of the main reasons why setting boundaries is so difficult to accomplish is from the lack of mindfulness. When one is mindful, there is an inner calmness where fear cannot reside.
Here are some thoughts in which setting good boundaries can bring continual mindfulness to your daily life:
Boundaries are yours to enforce. It is not the other person’s job to guess or try to read your mind as to your needs and desires. Take ownership of the boundaries you set for your time and various areas in your life, and witness the transformation within you.
Boundaries keep drama at bay. When things are left to question, that moment of resentment erupts. The minute you begin to embrace those uneasy emotions, you’ve officially violated your own boundaries. It is not worth it to blame anyone else if you are mindful enough to be accountable for your actions. Drama occurs when you give leeway, but not when you define parameters.
Keep things simple. Be mindful and tend to your boundaries.
It’s your turn. How do you set boundaries in your life? I would love if you shared your comments below.

I don't know exactly when I started writing PHP. It was shortly after the start of my second quarter of my freshman year of college, when a newly-met friend of mine introduced me to PHP as an easier to understand alternative to Perl. That puts it, I think, somewhere in January or February of 1999.
20 years ago, give or take a week. I have been writing PHP for two decades. That's more than half my lifetime. I feel old.
I thought it would be amusing (mostly at my expense) to look back a bit on just how much the PHP world has changed in the last two decades.

Sources within House Republican leadership told Breitbart News on Thursday that they believe former 2016 presidential candidate Evan McMullin may have spied on them last year, while he was policy director of the House Republican Conference.
Suspicions arose after the Washington Post‘s Adam Entous reported Wednesday that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) “made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
The story was treated by other news outlets as a potential “smoking gun” implicating Trump. A closer look, however, raises serious questions about the story, as well as its sources.
The Post based its reporting on an audio recording of a conversation between McCarthy and Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Steve Scalise (R-LA), and Patrick McHenry (R-NC) on June 15, 2016. | <urn:uuid:a8ac0368-d12e-4c4e-a2ea-ed891e57e498> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://rightwise.com/hot-air/republican-leaders-fear-evan-mcmullin-may-spied/ | 2019-06-25T02:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999783.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625011649-20190625033649-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.956132 | 197 | [

I wanted to share a recap of last week of the wonderful Thanksgiving I had with my family. My in-laws had recently moved to Texas, so I had imagined flying out to see them this year but they soon moved back and I couldn't be happier. Having family nearby is truly a blessing. There was so much food and I made my famous deviled eggs. I hate mustard but for some reason love deviled eggs. My husband has yet to try them because they freak him out I guess, but one of these holidays he's gonna try them!
I hope everyone had a great holiday and is getting ready for Christmas!

- According to the World Health Organization, 147 million people use cannabis all over the world, making it the most widely used drug.
- However, in addition to psychoactive effects experienced by many users, cannabis use also has a number of health consequences, including lowered sperm count.
- A new study suggests this may not be the only effect the drug has on men's fertility; results indicate cannabis can alter the genetic makeup of sperm in regular users too.
Cannabis is the most widely distributed and consumed drug in the world.
In fact, according to the World Health Organization, it's used by about 147 million people each year — that's around 2% of the world's population.
Use of opium or cocaine, on the other hand, is restricted to only 0.2% of the population.
However, in addition to psychoactive effects experienced by many users, caused by the cannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabis use also has numerous health consequences, such as impaired cognitive development and a reduced sperm count.
According to research published in journal Epigenetics, scientists at the Duke University Medical Centre in Durham have found that the drug can also affect sperm DNA.
Cannabis influences metabolic pathways and gene regulation of sperm DNA
As part of their work, the researchers looked at experiments carried out on rats in addition to conducting a study on 24 male subjects.
The study compared the sperm of "regular" cannabis users — those who have smoked the drug at least once a week in the past six months — with a group who had used cannabis no more than ten times in the past six months.
In these studies, the researchers found that the THC in the drug attacks genes in two metabolic pathways responsible for organ growth and growth regulation during development, and that it ultimately affects DNA methylation.
Methylation, a natural regulatory process, transfers methyl groups to DNA bases, resulting in a reduction in activity in these segments — basically, it changes gene expression. As the researchers have now been able to show, the THC content of cannabis influences this process and changes the genetic structure of the sperm.
"What we have found is that the effects of cannabis use on males and their reproductive health are not completely null, in that there's something about cannabis use that affects the genetic profile in sperm," said Scott Kollins in Duke Health News and Media, one of the authors of the study. "We don't yet know what that means, but the fact that more and more young males of child-bearing age have legal access to cannabis is something we should be thinking about."
More studies with cannabis users are needed to draw further conclusions
Whether or not the changes observed are permanent, to what extent they're hereditary, and whether or not they can influence the resulting child's development is still unclear, according to Susan K. Murphy, lead researcher of the study.
It can't yet be ruled out that the results may have been influenced by other factors such as, for example, the diets or the sleep patterns of the study's participants.
"We know that there are effects of cannabis use on the regulatory mechanisms in sperm DNA, but we don't know whether they can be transmitted to the next generation," Murphy explained. "In the absence of a larger, definitive study, the best advice would be to assume these changes are going to be there."
In the future, the researchers are looking to continue their investigations in larger studies to ascertain whether the structural changes in the sperm DNA can be reversed and whether changes are passed on. | <urn:uuid:b7f64c9b-bdd2-42d1-bd13-c1d8ba1288c9> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.businessinsider.com/cannabis-may-lower-your-sperm-count-and-alter-its-genetic-makeup-2019-1?r=US&IR=T | 2019-06-25T01:58:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999783.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625011649-20190625033649-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.960676 | 730 | [

In a sense it's a Wine problem, since this is an internal structure we

Ball State University's School of Nursing is partnering with Community Health Network, one of the state's largest health care systems, to create the Nursing Academy, an accelerated degree program designed to increase the number of registered nurses in Indiana and apply innovative approaches to better prepare student nurses for their transition to professional practice.
Scheduled to open in the fall, the Nursing Academy will offer its students a hybrid approach of learning through classes offered at Ball State, online and via video conferencing. Students also will work at hospitals within the Community Health Network, receiving on-the-job experience while being immersed in a clinical setting. The Community Health Network Foundation will fund partial scholarships for the 24 students representing the academy's inaugural class.
Linda Siktberg, director of Ball State's School of Nursing, says the three-year bachelor's degree program is designed to counter the loss of prospective students turned away each year from the state's nursing schools. According to the Indiana Nursing Workforce Development's 2010 Statewide Survey of Nursing Programs, more than 2,000 qualified nursing applicants were turned away from nursing schools in 2009 due to faculty shortages and/or a lack of clinical opportunities.
"As competition increases for these limited enrollment spots, qualified applicants may be turning to other career paths," Siktberg said. "The hard truth is the health care delivery systems cannot afford to lose potential nurses at this current rate."
Cindy Adams, chief nursing officer at Community Health Network, said partnerships like the newly formed Nursing Academy are a key solution to keeping up with the evolving landscape of health care in this nation and its unprecedented demands on the nursing workforce.
“There is a critical need to better prepare nursing students to provide high-quality health care for a growing and complex patient environment," she said.
Students interested in attending the Nursing Academy will first need to apply and be accepted into Ball State before applying for enrollment in the academy. Forty-eight students will be accepted into the program annually. | <urn:uuid:f0e77afa-ab57-4f1b-a8f9-0eeda305119d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.bsu.edu/news/articles/2013/4/ball-state-and-community-health-create-nursing-academy | 2019-06-26T05:44:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000175.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626053719-20190626075719-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.964349 | 414 | [

The PX-780 is a stylish digital piano from Casio's Privia line that has a look as classy as its sound. The PX-780 has the grand piano sounds that you're looking for, plus 250 built-in tones with split and layer, so you can get that big piano feel in a much smaller space. This 88-key digital piano also features dual 20w speakers, USB MIDI and 3 pedals for realistic piano style playing. The keyboard is housed in a sturdy black cabinet with sliding keyboard to help protect your investment.
The award winning grand piano sound in Privia has been dramatically improved. The new PX-780 utilizes more than three times the memory of the previous generation for a more natural piano tone. In addition, Casio's new proprietary sound source "AiR" (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator) provides unmatched realism and detail. This engine provides seamless dynamics for a remarkably expressive and powerful performance. For further realism a new Damper Resonance and Hammer Response simulator provides the rich sound of the strings when the sustain pedal is used.

This new action features new simulated Ebony and Ivory textured keys for an incredible feel and it's three sensors capture the dynamics of a performance with unparalleled speed and accuracy. To further enhance the experience, the action and the sound engine take into consideration the speed at which different sized hammers move inside acoustic grand relative to velocity the keys are pressed, this timing nuance provides the ultimate key to sound experience.
In additional to grand piano sounds, the PX-750 has many other instrument tones including strings, organs, electric pianos and bass. The PX-780 provides split and layer capability allowing you to play bass in your left hand and have two layered tones in your right. Duet mode splits the keyboard into two equal ranges, allowing student and teacher to use the piano simultaneously. A two track recorder can even record and playback your practice and performances.

Behind the wall is public beach area that is lost. By building a wall, public beach area is lost. Solana Beach is assessing a charge for this lost beach and valuable recreation area. In Solana Beach, there is presently 8 acres of beach available for public use. With the placement of walls this 8 acres will decrease. Behind the walls, somewhere between 5 and 30 acres of beach will be lost between now and 2081.
The City has released a Draft Land Lease & Recreation Fee Report.
Public comments on this report are due by July 14 and will aid the public in determining how much 5-30 acres of public beach being used by property owners until 2081 is worth to them. Please send in your comments.
Comments on the report must be written and should be directed to the attention of:
Ms. Tina Christiansen, Community Development Director
City of Solana Beach
635 South Highway 101
Solana Beach, CA, 92075.

Research by Heat Insulation Ltd suggests that 51 per cent of homeowners regularly tip tradespeople.
The people who are most likely to tip tradespeople are those aged between 45-64 and the least likely are 18-29-year olds, which on face-value may simply be down to disposable income. However, when those aged 18-29 who said they would not tip were asked why, the vast majority said it is because tradespeople charge more than enough.
A total of 245 homeowners were surveyed across the UK and the survey was aimed at understanding whether people tip tradespeople.
The main reasons given for not tipping tradespeople
- The job costs enough already
- The price is agreed before work commences
- Good work should be expected and not rewarded
Ricky Swann, Managing Director of Heat Insulation Ltd, conducted the survey as he often hears of tradespeople on both sides, those being tipped and others saying they have never been tipped. He said: “I’ve personally never heard of one of my staff being tipped, or they haven’t told me! But I know they can get upset when they hear of other tradesmen getting tipped. It’s quite a controversial subject and although it’s nice to hear people get a tip as it often makes them happy, I don’t honestly believe anyone should expect it. A job is quoted and that is what a customer should pay.”
What do tradespeople think?
In addition to the main survey, Ricky also asked tradespeople who he works with for their opinion, and one person who wishes to remain anonymous said: “There are so many cowboys out there that I think rewarding someone who delivers what they promises or goes above-and-beyond is the right thing to do.”
In contrast to the above, a plumber based in East Yorkshire believes it is crazy for tradespeople to expect tips: “I’ve only been offered a handful of tips in my 20+ years as a plumber and I have never accepted them. When I quote for a job, I know how much profit I need to make and factor that in. I always ensure I do a good job because I would love them to choose me again in the future or recommend me to family and friends, not because they may tip me.” | <urn:uuid:a1462009-461b-485c-9218-b3a087a77070> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://probuildermag.co.uk/news/do-your-customers-tip | 2019-06-27T10:37:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628001089.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20190627095649-20190627121649-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.983041 | 482 | [

Our Library candle is reviewed by award winning beauty blogger The Sunday Girl.
Two of my favourite and utterly simple joys in the world are: lighting a beautiful candle and curling up with a good book. Bliss. Tapping into this very idea is Birch & Brook London Library Candle, a heady yet soothing blend that was made for book worms and comfort seekers everywhere. If any candle was made to accompany an afternoon or evening reading session it is Birch & Brook London Library Candle.
Before I further discuss the scent let me tell you a little about the Birch & Brook Candles - each candle is hand crafted within the UK, using 100% natural wax made from GM free, organic and certified vegan ingredients with a natural fibre wick for even and clean burning. All the ingredients are sourced from renewable and sustainable sources and are free from chemicals, palm, paraffin and petroleum waxes. Excuse the terrible pun but I sure this will allow many of us to breathe easy in more than one way. All Birch & Brook candles burn evenly, they do not have a tendency to tunnel nor do they produce thick, heavy black smoke - the beautiful, glass containers that they are presented in can also be re-purposed. If purchasing a travel sized candle the cotton pouch that protects the candle is ideal for stashing jewellery in or for other small keep safe items.
I hate to draw comparisons to other brands but sometimes feel it is the easiest way to describe fragrances? If you are familiar with Byredo Bibliothèque candle or to some extent, Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle but perhaps want something a little more affordable yet equally luxurious, Birch & Brook London Library Candle is the one for you. A distinctive blend of Guaiac wood and patchouli, mingled with cinnamon, clove buds, and soft base notes of cedar and moss - it really is something special. Best described as smoky and earthen, it conjures images of rain soaked afternoons spent nose deep in a good book. It is truly one of the best woody home fragrances I have experienced in a long while and is truly unisex. The scent throw is incredible, after one hour my entire home was filled with the smoky yet somewhat green aroma of Birch & Brook London Library Candle, which lingered around the room for several hours after snuffing it out.
