The Ups and Downs of Modeling with Your Dog by Jeng Mamiit, Baby Moon Correspondence and Model.
Modeling with your dog can be a very rewarding and great bonding experience with your pet. I have experienced different types of modeling, and modeling with your dog could lead to unique and lovely memories.
As both a ramp and print model, I only had to think about myself, which made adjustments easy. In modeling with your dog, however, adjustments are always needed – and sometimes difficult. For example, when I modeled with my baby Leo for Pet Express, he didn’t want to walk on both occasions, in SM Mall of Asia and SM Megamall. However, when we modeled for Baby Moon Lifestyle for Hobbes and Landes, I had no problem having him walk. He even looked very cheerful on the runway!
It was even more difficult when I tried to model with all four of our babies. In most instances, some of them walked, while others constantly tried taking their costumes off while on stage.
Adjustments aren’t the only thing needed in modeling with your dog. Before you participate in this activity, you need to know and understand the many ups and downs of dog modeling.
· You get to experience the glamour of modeling with your pet.
· The experience can’t be compared to anything else.
· You get to meet a lot of other people that want to showcase their pets as much as you do.
· Last but certainly not least – freebies from sponsors!
· Not all your moments in modeling with your dog will be picture perfect
· You have no room to experience stage fright since your dog will be sensitive towards negative feelings such as that.
· It could be costly to maintain good looks and purchase good clothing – for both you and your pet.
Modeling with your dog is certainly not for everyone. However, once you are able to participate in such an activity, you will right away feel how special this experience can be for you and your pet.

Our Baby Moon Model Robin really wanted to give cheer to children this Christmas so we arranged for him to distribute some gifts to children.

Are you living in a home with multiple pets? That means you have more than one pet and possibly more than one kind of pet. This article is from Baby Moon Correspondent and Model Jeng Mamiit. She lives in a multi-pet household.
Taking care of more than one pet has its definite share of advantages and disadvantages. In our household, we have six cats, all personal rescues, and four dogs, all adopted from shelters.
Let’s start off with the good things.
- The more, the merrier! With many pets all living together with you, you will see different personalities from each of them, allowing you to gain different kinds of experiences.
- Adopting and/or fostering rescues means that you will be helping more pets to get off the streets as you will be freeing up space in shelters.
- There will be lots of picture-perfect moments, with one or more pets at a time.
- Nothing beats the feeling of all those tails wagging as they greet you when you get home!
However, there are some not-too-good things as well.
- Taking care of multiple pets can become costly and entails a lot of responsibility.
- Pets with different temperaments can sometimes lead to fights, which you have to watch out for!
- Multiple pets require a lot of time and effort from you to ensure that they are always safe and healthy.
A multi-pet household is not for everyone. However, personally, I think the good things about a multi-pet household greatly outweigh the not-so-good things. There will be both good and bad times, but one thing’s for sure – living in a multi-pet household is something that I will not trade for anything else!
Tips for a Multi-pet household:
Take it one pet at a time. Add pets only if you think you and your resources can handle it. If it is possible, let your pets meet before adopting more. Keep organized. Most pets have their own schedule and territory. Some of them don't like to share toys or bowl so better watch out. Most importantly, share the love! love each one equally with no reservation. Pets are like babies. They do get jealous.

We always want to see the glitz and the glamor of a Pet Pageant. Let's not forget to make them Pet-Friendly. This guideline have been formulated with the help of Ms. Willa Tecson of Pets4Peace. We higly advice you read and adhere to these when dressing your pets.
- Total clothing and accessories must not weigh more than twenty percent (20%) of the pet’s weight. This will include accessories already.
- Lower stomach to genitals should be exposed so pets can do their business freely and hassle-free. (Boy or girl, this must apply)
- Pets must be able to move freely, sit or pose comfortably even when on a pedestal, stroller or carried by pet parent.
- When wearing trails or bustles, pets must not be able to step on the trail or the trail must not inhibit pet’s movements. If possible, trails must not be longer than pet.
- Clothing and accessories may be snug but not too fitted or tight. The clothes and accessories must not cause physical harm or mental stress to pet.
- In a warm climate, dogs and cats should be discouraged in wearing shoes that cover their paw pads. Sweat and heat exit the pads of the paw. by inhibiting this, it may cause undue agitation to pets.
Remember: for Pet-friendly couture our beloved pets must be stress-free and happy!

We love to see Pet pageants. Sometimes, we like to compete in them!
But is our drive to win driving our pets to the edge?
As a pet mother, competition judge, competition contestant and pet rights advocate, I asked around why people do it and if it bothers their pets? This article is not intended to accuse or berate anyone. It is the author's own observations and speculations.
The question is about animal rights. Is our drive to win pageants driving our dogs to the edge?
Other pet parents would say it's only a bit of friendly competition and they would win things for their pets. Others will defend their actions stating they are training the dogs/cats. Still, what do our pets actually feel? Are we really giving them an enjoyable time of are we training them to accept their torture? Here are some tips on making sure we don't make our pets uncomfortable.
(photo from canine commotion, Dar San Agustin and Edge)
- Always make sure your pets are comfortable. Follow the Pet Friendly Couture Code. This means nothing hindering movements, nothing too heavy and nothing dangerous on the dress.
- Make sure we note the signs of agitation. In our excitement, we may fail to notice that our pets are getting stressed. Signs would be whining, heavy breathing, edginess or can't stay put, and aggressive behavior.
- Keeps treats and water within your persons. Don't give them a full meal. In their excitement, they may vomit or excrete it. Treats are there to keep them in line and give them a little snack to tide them over before a full meal. Keep them hydrated to avoid stress. Make sure they pee regularly too.
- Distancia Amigo! If you read this on trucks, you know what it means. In a stressful environment like pageants, fashion shows and other competitions, it's best to keep a safe distance enough to let your pet breathe and not freak out.
- Finally, have fun! Don't let the pressure to win get you. If your pets feel this is all fun and games, they will feel more at ease. If they feel agitation and nervousness, that's what they will mirror.

Pets on TV are all the rage now. Here are some tips to follow when you get invited. It always helps to be prepared!
The General Reminder
What to Bring
What They Won't Tell You:
- First, find out what you need to do so you know what to prepare for. don't forget to prepare your travel bag a night before. See Travel in Style Series.
- Secondly, Pettiquette applies even in the studio.
- Third, your babies look cute and you should too!
What to Bring
- Travel kit
- Extra leash in case you leash breaks (Mine did! Baby got too excited!)
- Treats (give when they behave)
- Water and bowl
What They Won't Tell You:
- TV people don't tell you what would happen next. They tell you on the spot.
- Call time is not shoot time. Waiting will bore your dogs to sleep. Keep them occupied.
- For any particular reason, your fur baby can just lose his cool. It may be the set. It may be the random stranger of actors crew or fellow guests. Best be prepared!
- Stage sets outdoors are freaking hot! There are lights and no aircon or fan.
- Stage sets indoors and freaking cold! Aircon is at the highest to prevent the lights from overheating.

To travel or transporting your pet from home to destination with a purpose can be easy if you are prepared. In this Travel in Style Series, we’ll show some scenarios where you will travel prepared with your pet.
Sometimes, a party is formal. In times it may not even be a pet party but a human party. Ask the celebrant if you can bring your pet. Now, the secret to blending your pet with the party is to use your pet as your best accessory. Albeit the pet is alive and wriggling, there are some ways around this.
- First, get coordinating outfits of accessories.
- Don’t forget to bring your basic kit in your bag.
- Use a pretty stylish leash
- Don’t forget a gift! | <urn:uuid:471e497d-7dde-4045-8af0-b0dddb538096> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.petfashionandtrends.com/2013/ | 2020-08-08T06:00:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737289.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808051116-20200808081116-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.953019 | 2,741 | [

Samsung took to their Unpacked 2020 event to launch the new Galaxy S20 series. The devices have some of the best specs on the market, including 120hz displays, a wide array of cameras including 64MP telephotos and a 108MP main camera on the Ultra, and more. Thus the Galaxy S20 starts at $999, the S20+ at $1,199, and the S20 Ultra at a whopping $1,399. They’re extremely pricey phones and may not be accessible to most people.
So at the end of the presentation, the company announced that the previous year’s devices are sticking around rather than being replaced as well as getting a price drop. The Samsung Galaxy S10e is dropping to just $599, the Galaxy S10 to $749, and the Galaxy S10+ to $849.
It’s not the biggest price drop for year old models, but you can save $150 getting last year’s top of the line device over the base Galaxy S20, and the solid Galaxy S10e is priced just right in the mid-range category despite rocking last year’s top of the line specs. And if we see a sale anytime soon, it’ll be a great way to get into a good phone on a budget. | <urn:uuid:47847586-fd2f-4e04-bf18-0d3b5c3cce26> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://phandroid.com/2020/02/11/samsung-drops-prices-on-galaxy-s10-series/ | 2020-08-09T19:51:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738573.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809192123-20200809222123-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.928988 | 270 | [

CHICAGO -- Heather Mack, a 19-year-old from Chicago who is accused of murdering her mother in Indonesia, has the right to use her trust fund money to obtain counsel of her own choice, according to Judge Neil H. Cohen of the Cook County Circuit Court in Chicago.
Mack's lawyer filed an emergency motion Thursday asking for $150,000 from the trust fund, which is overseen by her uncle.
Judge Cohen said Mack has a right to choose her own counsel as "a bedrock value of the U.S. justice system." He also expressed concern that Mack's proposed Indonesian attorney is looking at her trust fund as a "goose that laid the golden egg." Cohen expressed concern that the trust money may be used for bribes.
With the trial set to resume next week in Indonesia, Judge Cohen says time is short to come to an agreement on whom the overseas counsel should be.
Mack and her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer, 21, are accused of murdering Mack's mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, last August in Bali. Mack and Schaefer were arrested in Bali after investigators found the badly beaten body of von Wiese-Mack stuffed inside a suitcase in the trunk of a taxi outside the St. Regis Bali Resort.
Mack and Schaefer are charged with premeditated murder, which carries a possible death penalty under Indonesian law. On Wednesday, when the trial began, Mack and Schaefer said they understood the charges. They are expected to enter pleas next week.
Prosecutors say the couple killed von Wiese-Mack because she did not approve of their relationship. They allege that Mack, who is now seven months pregnant, once suggested that Schaefer hire someone to kill her mother for $50,000.
The couple is being tried separately by the same prosecutors in front of the same judge at the Denpasar District Court.
Chicago teen, accused of killing her mother, can use trust fund for defense, judge says

Why Social Media?
Social media has taken the world by storm. We use sites and apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat to connect with friends and family daily.
We use Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest to stay up-to-date in the world of celebrities, professionals, and DIY projects. Because so many people of all ages are already spending time on these sites, as a business, you should too. They serve as an ideal place to promote brand awareness, advertise promotions, and build a positive reputation.
Organic Posting: What is it and Why do it?
Organic posts refer to content that is meant to create engagement with an audience. We often choose to make purchases from companies whom we recognize. Your company should be familiar and recognizable to both potential first-time and existing customers. Several recent studies show that brands who engage on social media enjoy higher loyalty from their customers, and we also know that social media interaction has a positive correlation with conversion rates. Organic posting builds both brand recognition and loyalty.
What is Social Media Advertising?
The recent growth of social media over the last few years has had a significant impact on the world of business. As of 2016, 78% of people in the US had at least one social media account, and 96% of small business owners/marketers were using social media to advertise to potential customers. At AGI, we know that social media isn’t going away anytime soon, so we use it strategically to grow your business. We know that there are specific valuable benefits to social media advertising, and we utilize each one.

As the saying goes: “Charity begins at home”, there is nowhere better for kids to learn about empathy than from their own parents.
Inspiring kids to be compassionate and loving towards others may not sound like a big challenge, but parents actually have to pay a lot of care and attention to do things the right way.
1. Explain to kids the idea of charity and why it matters.
Most kids at a young age tend to be self-centered, and they do not realize the need to pay attention or to take care of others.
As your child reaches the age of 4 or 5, it is time that you taught them about the importance of kindness.
You can start by pointing out the lifestyle they have already had, for example:
“Hey baby, look at you. You have this beautiful dress to put, and you can eat ice cream on the weekend. Oh, and mama and papa are always by your side when you need us. Isn’t it amazing?”
Then, you can move on by telling them the harsh truth, that many people do not have access to such privileges.
“Actually, there are a lot of kids your age out there that do not have enough food to eat, water to drink, or even clothes to wear. Some of them cannot go to school because they are poor. And some do not have parents.”
Drawing a comparison between “what we have” versus “what the less fortunate have” will make it easier for kids to understand the gap.
Once kids start to get what you mean, tell them that because everyone shares a planet together, we should try our best to help others, especially those who are in need.
But try not to sound too pedantic.
No one wants to listen to a rant on the role of charity.
Try to make it relatable to kids, and build up their inner sympathy day by day.
2. Help kids perform small, daily giving acts.
Some kids are confused that charity means doing big works, like visiting Africa to feed hungry children, or going to Japan to help deal with the tsunami consequences.
Thus, kids might think that being charitable is something beyond their reach.
However, there are still plenty of ways to show gratitude and benevolence that kids can do.
- Hold the door for others. If your child is the first person to come through the door and there are people following behind, he or she can help by holding the door and waiting for everyone to pass through.
- Let friends borrow stationery when they forget to bring them along. At school, tell your kids that if they spot someone who needs a pencil, or an eraser but does not have one, they can lend it to their friend.
- Pick up things for others. While on the street, at school, or even at home, kids can show how supportive they are by collecting stuff that people accidentally drop, and return them to the owner.
By pointing these out to kids, you will make them understand that charity is not about how grand your action is.
It is about the content of your heart, and whether you are willing to do something for others.
No matter how big or small, if kids decide to help someone out, their help is always valuable.
3. Get kids involved in neighborhood activities.
A fun way for kids to engage in charity is through working with the area they currently live in.
Many residencies now set up a charity day, where everyone would gather around, bake cookies for the local church, donate small changes to buy a new facility at the nursing home, or to help build a children’s playground.
Bring your kids to such events and let them see other people showing their commitment to the community.
If your kids are capable, allow them to partake in certain activities.
They cannot stand near the oven and bake stuff? That’s okay. Ask them to bring the flour and the eggs to the cooks.
No kids can handle moving wooden pillars and painting old tires for a new park?
You can ask them to deliver snacks and drinks to workers at break time.
Even when there is nothing kids can do, they can still learn a lot from observing other people putting in their time and effort to help others.
And sometimes, it does not have to be a huge neighborhood event.
You can still think of smaller things that your kids can do with the neighbors.
Is there any elderly living on their own near your house?
You can cook a bowl of soup and buy some new fruits, then take your kid over and give it to the elderly with a warm smile.
If it is in the summer, let’s set up a stand and sell some lemonade to passers-by, then use the profit to donate to the church.
Not only are these actions suitable for kids, but they also allow kids to directly see the impact of how charity plays out in real life.
4. Teach kids how to donate things in a smart way.
Donation is probably the first word that springs to mind when someone mentions “charity”.
However, kids may interpret donation as “giving away things lavishly”.
Thus, you should be careful when approaching kids about donations.
Below are some of the ways in which kids can donate to good causes.
- Old clothes. There are lots of pieces that kids have outgrown, or simply things that they dislike. Parents can help wash the clothes, then ask kids to fold and put them into a bag.
Kids can hand it in at the local community service, or even better, they can give it to someone they know that is in need.
- Old toys. Similarly, kids can pick out toys that they no longer use (but make sure they are in good shape!), and donate it to other children.
- Money. If your kids are a bit older and have earned some money on their own, you can ask if they want to donate a few dollars a month.
There are many organizations for kids to choose from when deciding where to give their hard-earned cash. If your kids are into pets and animals, suggest they have look at the World Wildlife Fund or the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Teaching about giving is important, but do not let your kids throw their personal properties away just so they feel like they are helping the community.
Another thing parents need to notice is that never let kids feel like they have to donate against their will.
When selecting clothes and toys for donation, make sure your kids have the biggest say.
Whether they want to give away a particular thing or not is up to them.
Let kids choose the donation, and their acts will be much more meaningful.
5. Show kids real-life examples of people who are famous for their charity work.
All kids need a hero, even when it is about charity work.
Show them photos and films about people who help turn the world into a better place with their generosity and dedication.
You can start with the most common figures, like Mother Teresa or Bill and Melinda Gates.
Then, based on your kids’ preferences, pick out someone that they can identify with.
If your kid is a bookworm, tell them that J.K. Rowling has established a global charity organization called Lumos to save children from being sent to harmful orphanages.
Have a small scientist under your roof? Let your kid know Elon Musk – the person who revolutionizes space travel – gives out millions of dollars towards the advancement of education.
Your kid cannot stop listening to pop music? Turn on the song “Ronan” by Taylor Swift and tell your child all the money earned through this song will be given to cancer charities because “Ronan” is a tribute to all the kids suffering from cancers.
Football is what your kid crazy about? Let them learn more about David Beckham and his role as the Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF, and how he has helped better the lives of children around the world.
By making these role models relatable to kids, you may motivate your kids to grow their sense of gratitude and giving.
6. Set good models for kids.
Kids always imitate the behaviors of their parents, so make sure you yourself are an example for your kids to follow.
By performing charitable acts, you are giving a silent message that if you can do it, your kids can do the same.
Charity is about showing sympathy and kindness to others, and it is one of the most necessary lessons for kids.
No parents want their child to grow up and become a cold-hearted person who fails to support others.
So today, let’s start with the simplest acts. Let’s teach your child how to give from the bottom of their hearts. | <urn:uuid:0c2ac373-92cd-4f57-84a8-71d53749ee32> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.myparentingjournal.com/how-to-teach-your-child-charity/ | 2020-08-11T22:16:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738855.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811205740-20200811235740-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.966197 | 1,838 | [

Picking Winners at BMSS 38
Posted on September 14th, 2017
The 38th BMSS Annual Conference took place last week at The Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and, by all accounts, was a great success, with more attendees and exhibitors than ever before. Also, the range and quality of the oral and poster presentations was superb.
As ever, Anatune was present, showcasing our range of chromatography, mass spectrometry and autosampler solutions. This was the first opportunity for many to see GERSTEL’s new MPS Robotic Pro MultiPurpose Sampler, with its automated syringe swapping feature, as well as a number of other modules, such as the QuickMix and CF200 Centrifuge.
But the biggest draw by far was… Anatune’s GC-MS Lego kit!
One lucky delegate was drawn from the hat in our Lego giveaway prize draw, and the proud new owner of this much sought-after item was Dr Daniel Vidler from the University of Liverpool.
We hope it has pride of place in his laboratory (or office) in Liverpool.
So, all-in-all, a very good conference once again – and we hope to see you at next year’s BMSS, right here in Cambridge.
In the meantime, if you would like to talk to us about how our analytical solutions can help you, either email us, or call us on +44 (0)1223 279210. | <urn:uuid:da28d9c1-043a-4863-9593-9401a12f7a3d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://anatune.co.uk/resources/blog/picking-winners-bmss-38/ | 2020-08-15T01:39:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740423.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815005453-20200815035453-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.961154 | 309 | [

* High-level EU visit seeks new start in Turkey relations
* EU wants help in identifying foreign fighters
* Will urge Turkey not to undermine EU sanctions on Russia
By Adrian Croft
BRUSSELS, Dec 5 (Reuters) - The European Union will press Turkey to cooperate more closely in the fight against Islamic State and urge it not to undermine EU sanctions on Russia on a visit this week intended to give new impetus to often fraught EU-Turkish relations.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn and Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Christos Stylianides will travel to Turkey on Monday and Tuesday in one of the highest-profile EU visits in years.
“The visit ... is a strong indication of the strategic importance of the EU-Turkey relationship and our desire to step up engagement,” Mogherini said in a statement.
Turkey has been negotiating to join the EU since 2005, but political obstacles, notably over the divided island of Cyprus, and resistance to Turkish membership from some EU countries, have slowed progress and relations have often been difficult.
But now top EU officials hope a new president and prime minister in Turkey and a new European Commission in Brussels mark a fresh start that will pave the way for regular high-level talks to discuss common strategic interests.
The visit comes a week after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s trip to Turkey, during which Moscow announced it was scrapping the South Stream gas pipeline project and named Turkey as its preferred partner for an alternative pipeline.
EU officials want to talk about the need for closer cooperation in the fight against Islamic State militants and other militant groups and efforts to cut off their funding and halt the flow of foreign fighters.
Thousands of Europeans have gone to fight in Syria, with Islamic State or other groups, and Turkey is a key transit point. Turkey says EU governments should be doing more to stop would-be fighters travelling to the region.
The EU wants Turkey’s help in identifying foreign fighters and in warning of any risks to aviation security, one EU official said on condition of anonymity.
Turkey has not joined Western sanctions on Russia over Ukraine. EU officials will continue to press Turkey to join in sanctions or at least not to take advantage of the situation by exporting affected products to Russia, the official said.
The EU officials will meet Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and visit a refugee camp. They will announce an increase in EU aid to help Turkey cope with an influx of refugees from Syria and Iraq.

East Burren reveals its stunning harshness
Walk for the weekend: Away from the coast, the vista is a thing of rugged natural beauty
East Burren: huddle of rounded hills and mutating turloughs.
The essential Burren is, for most, a coastal excursion between Doolin and Ballyvaughan with, perhaps, a return over famous Corkscrew Hill. Undoubtedly, this is one of Ireland’s great scenic routes, offering intoxicating views to Connemara and the Aran Islands, but it isn’t the outing that truly floats my boat. To get close and personal with this austerely attractive place of stone, I head instead to the huddle of rounded hills and mutating turloughs that comprise the east Burren.
Parking recently at Cooloorta Cross, I rambled south along a Famine relief road that, like most of its kind, leads precisely nowhere –such back-breaking effort from a starving people for no purpose.
After a short distance, walking arrows conveyed me right and gently uphill past a malodorous couple of puck goats doing their best to look pugnacious. I’m not falling for it, however, since the feral goats of the Burren are actually inoffensive, if controversial creatures. They are accused by some of damaging stone walls and destroying grassland, but I can’t help feeling that something would be lost if these shy creatures were no more.
Then, it’s on over an incongruously green hillock amid the otherwise deceptively rich harshness that is the soul of the Burren. At a gap in a wall, the arrows point left, but I go north-west to ascend benches of fractured stone, where easy scrambling conveys me to the cairned summit of Slieve Roe.
When a Cromwellian officer described the Burren as “a country where there is not enough water to drown a man”, he couldn’t have been describing the east Burren, for immediately it occurs to me that the sweeping vista from Slieve Roe encapsulates enough liquid to drown an entire army. This water lies mostly within turloughs: a landscape feature that is almost unique to Ireland’s west, consisting of small lakes, where levels rise and fall with startling rapidity.
Now, it is directly south by descending great swirls of constricting limestone that seem determined to choke the hill. Eventually I reach a col where directly above me lies Mullagh More, the queen of the Burren, which immediately reminds me of a giant wave breaking on a limestone beach.
Beyond a stone wall, I tag walking arrows right, then left and up a small cliff to reach the unexcavated burial cairn marking Mullagh More’s expansive summit. Gazing down, I ponder once again upon the enigma of the Burren; a stunningly attractive but severely degraded glacio-karst landscape that has been created, in part at least, by agricultural over-exploitation.
The modern paradox is that otherwise unsustainable practices, such as intensive grazing, are now being re-introduced here to prevent this fragile ecosystem succumbing to its natural state as a monocultural hazel forest.
Departing the summit, I descend north-east to reach a stone wall, where I tag the walking arrows to gain the gap in the wall encountered earlier. Here, I pause to imbibe the rich embroidery of the vista: the startlingly intense blue of the Skaghard and Trevaun turloughs; the eyewatering brightness of the limestone and beyond the drumlin-speckled green of the Gort/Kinvara lowland. Then it’s blissfully back to my start point.
East Burren, Co Clare
- Map: Discovery Series, Sheet 52.
- Time: 3.5 hours.
- Start: From Corofin, Co Clare, take the R460 for Gort. After 8.5km, take a minor road left opposite a stone entrance. Continue for 2.5km, to park at a junction beside the entrance to the National Park.
- Suitability: Unusable underfoot conditions in places with mild scrambling skills required for ascending and descending the rocky benches. Sturdy footwear and concentration are essential. | <urn:uuid:47e51a03-2333-4bdb-bfc1-05d187ddfd0f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/travel/east-burren-reveals-its-stunning-harshness-1.3265723 | 2020-08-03T15:39:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735812.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803140840-20200803170840-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.905986 | 909 | [

In the name of preserving history, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used advanced imaging to create digital replicas of the bullets that killed President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963.
The bullets are typically stored at the National Archives, which brought the spent ammo to NIST so the ballistics team could make new perfect copies.
Even though we're more than 56 years removed from the tragic event, the National Archives still receives many requests to access the bullets. The plan is to make the 3D replicas available to the public by early 2020 because the original photographs that were made available are aging. Now, everyone will have access to the microscopic details of each bullet.
The new collection will include two fragments from the bullet that caused the president's fatal wound, as well as the "stretcher" bullet that struck both the president and Texas Gov. John Connally. The stretcher bullet was found near Connally at the hospital.
The collection also includes two bullets test fired from the assassin's rifle, as well as one that is believed to have been used in a previous assassination attempt on an army major.
The ballistics team used focus variation microscopy to create a series of images at different focal distances at each location along the object's surface. As the lens moved across the bullet, it built a 3D surface map.
The team spent countless hours rotating the metal fragments to image every facet, and then stitched the images together, capturing every tiny scratch and anomaly in the metallic surface.
NIST performed 22 scanning runs just on the stretcher bullet, producing 1,699 individual measurements of the bullet's surface.
The NIST ballistics team members are familiar with bullet imaging. They often work on developing advanced forensic techniques that can identify firearms used in crimes.
The project wasn't without its challenges, as the bullet fragments were bent and distorted in ways that made them difficult to image. A single piece took more than 30 scans to image the entire surface.
Some of the techniques used throughout the process will be employed in future criminal cases. We'll see what new insight comes out once the public begins analyzing those bullets next year, but until then, and for the foreseeable future, the bullets that killed President Kennedy in Dallas will be returned to their temperature and humidity-controlled vault. | <urn:uuid:3c730c6b-9672-4bc8-ad19-5cb59043c782> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.manufacturing.net/home/video/21104943/ballistics-team-scans-bullets-that-killed-jfk | 2020-08-03T15:09:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735812.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803140840-20200803170840-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.957287 | 476 | [

A basic button up is a key wardrobe piece, as it’s a versatile yet functional piece that can be worn all year long. It pairs well with shorts and sandals, or even tucked in with a blazer. But who says a button up has to be basic? Embellishments are a huge trend this fall and with the cool weather slowly shifting this brass button down with pleated sleeves is the perfect piece to update your wardrobe for fall. It also makes for the perfect foundation to start layering. I personally like to start off with a simple blouse and add layers in different textures to create a comfortable yet chic look.Come join us on Pinterest for more fall inspiration! | <urn:uuid:f0d84bc2-91c7-46d4-8629-8df7afc46643> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://grandcentralclothing.blogspot.com/2012/10/not-your-average-button-up.html | 2020-08-08T13:03:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737645.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808110257-20200808140257-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.930763 | 140 | [

| Abstract|| |
Teeth arise by complex and progressive interactions between the ectoderm, oral epithelium and underlying mesenchyme. However, it may show variations and changes in morphological structure. A 6-year-old female child patient came for the treatment of her carious tooth. Intraoral examination revealed supernumerary cusp on occlusal surface of the maxillary right second primary molar. Incidence of supernumerary cusp is a rare condition formed by abnormal proliferation and folding of inner enamel epithelium during morphodifferentiation stage of the tooth development. Conservative cavity preparation and restorative treatment protocol were carried out to treat this case. Early diagnosis, management and timely recall of these rare anomalies will help to avoid potential complications, resulting from faster carious progression in these teeth due to the presence of many fissures and early pulpal extensions into the cuspal area.
Keywords: Central cusp, maxillary primary molars, occlusal surface, supernumerary cusp

| Introduction|| |
The process of tooth development is very complex and any interferences from the internal or external factors in different phase of tooth development will lead to abnormality in shape, structure or number. Supernumerary cusps are common variations of tooth morphology that are occasionally observed in both primary and permanent dentitions. Depending on the site and the tooth affected, the most common supernumerary cusps are cusp of Carabelli of molars, talon cusps of incisors and Leong's tubercle of premolars.
The supernumerary cusp may be separated from the adjacent cusps by a mild groove. The central cusp is observed as a circumscribed, well-defined elevation that strengthens the original enamel layer of a cusp with its macrostructure. In clinical dentistry, diagnosis of the supernumerary cusp helps us to associate it with other anomalies and syndrome, or else it may get damaged producing secondary pathology which manifests as pulpitis, periodontitis, periostitis and many other serious complications.
Exact etiology of supernumerary cusp formation or abnormal shape of tooth is unknown. Earlier school of thought was that the formation of supernumerary cusp occurs due to overactivity of the dental lamina. Recent studies have shown that the gene expressions (Paired box gene – PAX and Msh homeobox – MSX genes) and gene mutation acting at different levels of tooth formation are responsible for the development and shape of the tooth morphology.,
The altered proliferation and folding of inner enamel epithelium along with adjacent ectomesenchymal cells of the dental papilla during the bell stage of tooth development results in the formation of a supplemental solid elevations on the tooth surface. Transient signaling centers in the epithelial cell clusters along with the primary and secondary enamel knots, serve as a regulatory function in the epithelium which corresponds to the initiation of the individual cusp formation, thereby defining the tooth morphology. The primary enamel knot regulates the cuspal morphology of the crown by fibroblast growth factors-4 and 9, transforming growth factor-beta and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP-2, 4 and 7).
The primary enamel knot which is observed at late bud stage increases in size till cap stage of the tooth development. It later gets disappeared by the expression of p21 which is induced by the mesenchymal BMP-4., Activator from the primary enamel knot regulates the expression of secondary enamel knots. The resultant cusp morphogenesis and positions appear to be determined sequentially and cusps that formed later are typically small. Simultaneous production of specific signaling molecules in the mesenchymal cells and other signaling molecules induces the differentiation of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath at the cervical loop will determine the actual crown morphology. Future site of the cusps is determined by enamel knots. The enamel knots are responsible for the induction of the dental papilla.
The “central cusp” is situated on the lingual surface of the anterior teeth and between the buccal and the lingual cusp tips of the premolars and molars. Clinicians should be aware of different morphological variations that will play a significant role in the clinical practice, as these can influence various dental treatment. The purpose of this report is to highlight an incidental clinical finding of unilateral supernumerary cusps on the occlusal surface of maxillary right second primary molar and problems associated with it.
| Case Report|| |
A 6-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry for the treatment of her carious teeth. Family history and medical history were noncontributory with no signs of any syndrome. On intraoral examination, there was no pain or swelling associated with the tooth and no abnormality of soft tissues was noticed. The intraoral examination revealed that the patient was in a primary dentition stage with poor oral hygiene. Detailed dental examination resulted in the incidental clinical findings of supernumerary cusp on the occlusal surface of the maxillary right second primary molar with a central cusp and caries extending into the pit and fissures [Figure 1]and [Figure 2]. On clinical examination, the patient had no relevant extraoral findings. The intraoral periapical radiograph also shows the presence of multiple cusps with pulpal extensions [Figure 3]. The occlusal pit and fissure caries of 55 were carefully removed to prepare a conservative cavity with the help of round bur using airotor, followed by excavation of soft dental caries using spoon excavator. Due to favorable properties of glass ionomer cement such as chemical bonding with the tooth structure and fluoride-releasing capacity, the prepared tooth was restored using glass ionomer cement.

| Discussion|| |
Supernumerary cusps are relatively rare anomalies. Central cusp and talon cusp are referred as dens evaginatus, which is composed of enamel and dentin with or without pulpal projections. Supernumerary cusp formed on the maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth is often referred to as talon cusp and supernumerary cusp formed on the occlusal surface of the premolar or molar is referred to as dens evaginatus.,
Central cusp is a tapered projection on the central fossa caused by local hyperplasia of internal enamel epithelial cell and mesenchymal cell during the tooth development. Other acronyms for central cusp are “occlusal supernumerary cusp,” “dens evaginatus,” “premolar odontome,” “occlusal tubercle,” “accessory central cusp,” “tuberculated premolar” and “Leong's premolar.” In this case report, the supernumerary cusp is situated centrally on the oblique ridge. The cause of formation of the central cusp is similar to dens evaginatus which is common in permanent dentition, whereas the occurrence of central cusp is rare in primary dentition. In primary dentition, the central cusps were confined to maxillary second molar either unilateral or bilateral.,, All the factors resulted in the diagnosis of supernumerary-cusped tooth.
Supernumerary cusp teeth may cause caries in the pits or deep developmental grooves between the supernumerary cusp, sensitivity or devitalization of the tooth due to fracture or attrition of the protruded portion of the cusp that has pulpal extension, premature tooth contact that leads to occlusal interference and habitual posturing of the jaw., Extra cusps in the crowns might be associated with an increased number of roots that can affect the endodontic treatment, periodontal management, extraction, tooth preparation for restorative treatment as well as orthodontic treatment. It might also interfere with placement of bands in various treatment procedures.,
Multicusp dentition is more susceptible to caries due to the increased number of fissures. They are more efficient in breaking down food into smaller particles, thereby increasing the surface area available for food particles to contact with digestive enzyme in order to acquire the extra energy. Preventive measures such as oral hygiene care, diet advice and topical fluoride gel application can also be implemented.
| Conclusion|| |
As the pits and grooves surrounding the supernumerary cusps are highly susceptible to caries, it is necessary that the supernumerary cusp teeth should be under periodic dental and routine oral health-care checkups for monitoring caries status and pulp vitality. Hence, early diagnosis and management will prevent complication associated with these teeth.

Most people who know my dad would find it terrible hard to buy him a gift. He’s just one of those who has everything he needs and no desire for extravagance. However, there are few things that he loves unreservedly – chocolates, nuts, wine, durians.
I don’t think I can ever make a single cake that contains the above four things ( I shudder to think how it would taste) so I narrowed it down to just two – Chocolate and nuts.
This cake has three components – the jaconde (almond sponge), caramelised hazelnut and chocolate crémeux (which is like mousse, but even smoother and creamier). Just two flavours that go so well together.
Well, it may sound like a very rich cake. I won’t deny that it is but not in a coying manner that makes you feel sick after a few bites. The dark chocolate crémeux is not too sweet and the little pockets of saltiness from the fleur de sel (a type of hand harvested sea salt) gives the chocolate the punch that it needs; the bittersweet caramelised hazelnuts give way to a layer of crunchiness that adds to its dimension.
I’m sure you would like to know if my dad likes it.
He did (and it made my heart sing). He took a bite and gave it his stamp of approval (two thumbs up) before proceeding to finish the entire slice up, just a little too quickly. But I won’t judge.
This birthday, my dad is a happy man – a bottle of his favourite Bordeaux red to add to his collection, an upcoming durian fest, and this very dark chocolate & hazelnut cake.
Happy birthday to my papa.
You’re the best dad, ever.
This cake will take a bit more time and effort than your usual butter cake but it is perfect for a special occasion – a cake that will make all chocolate and nut lovers rejoice.
For two trays of jaconde (with plenty of leftover)
Recipe adapted from Le Cordon Bleu
125g almond meal
125g icing sugar/confectioners sugar
150g eggs, room temperature
33g cake flour, sifted
25g unsalted butter, melted
100g egg whites, room temperature
17g caster sugar
1.Prepare two trays. Line them with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 220 degrees celcius.
Whisk the almond meal and icing sugar until uniform.
2. Add in the whole eggs and whisk at high speed until pale and thick, It should leave a slight trail when it is done.
3. Fold in the sifted flour followed by the melted butter.
4. Whisk egg whites until firm peaks.
5. Fold in egg whites into the almond mixture in 2 -3 additions, be careful not to knock out the air.
6. Divide the jaconde batter between two trays. Using a long palette knife, spread the jaconde batter from end to end until thickness is uniform. Try to do this as quickly as you can as you need to bake the jaconde immediately.
7. Bake the jaconde at 220 degrees celcius. It would take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overbake this as it will turn into biscuit if you bake it for too long. It should be slightly golden and it should spring back to touch.
You will have leftover for snacking. And you will thank me for these utterly delicious tv snacks.
63g caster sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds only
125g blacnched whole hazelnuts
1/4 tsp sea salt
1. Place water, sugar and vanilla bean seeds in a clean, grease-free stainless steel pot. Place on low heat until sugar has dissolved.
2. Add in the hazelnuts into the sugar. Move the nuts around every now and then but do not stir it too much if not the sugar will start to crystalise.
3. Cook hazelnuts and caramel under golden, amber colour (as you desire).
4. Stir in the butter when it is done. Then pour the nuts onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Break it up as it starts cooling.
Dark chocolate crémeux
Enough to fill an 7 inch diameter ring, 2 inch high
Recipe adapted from Chef Stéphane Glacier (M.O.F)
250ml cream (at least 33% fat)
250ml full-cream milk
125g egg yolks
125g granulated sugar
338g 70% chocolate ( I use valrhona guanaja)
1/2 tsp plus another 1/8 tsp of fleur de sel (or to taste)
1. Measure out all your ingredients before starting.
2. Make a custard: In a pot, heat the cream and milk. In a separate bowl, whisk the yolks and sugar until well-combined. When the cream and milk comes to a boil, pour this liquid into the yolk mixture and whisk. Then, return this mixture back to the pot at low heat and stir with a wooden spoon/rubber spatula. It should be done at about 84 degrees celcius/ when it is thick enough to coat the back of your spoon.
3. Pour the custard through a sieve over your chopped chocolate. Stir it slowly (do not incorporate air bubbes) until the chocolate has melted and crémeux is uniform. Add in the fleur de sel and stir to distribute evenly.
4. Use it immediately.
1. Line the cake ring with acetate. Cut out the joconde using the 7 inch cake ring as a guide, using a small paring knife. Then cut a slightly smaller joconde (about 3/4 of the 7 inch diameter). Place the 7 inch diameter joconde in the cake ring on top of the cake board (use a little of the chocolate creameux to hold it down). And set the smaller jaconde round aside for later.
2. Pour in 1/3 of the chocolate creameux.
3. Chop up some of the caramelised hazelnuts and add in a thick layer over the chocolate creameux.
4. Pour in another 1/3 of the chocolate crémeux.
5. Place the smaller joconde round on top of the crémeux and press it down. Pour the rest of the crémeux and level it off with a palette knife.
6. Place the cake into a freezer for it to set (or a fridge, but it will take longer) before you glaze and decorate the cake.
7. You can finish off the cake with a chocolate glaze or you can do a rough finish by brushing on some tempered dark chocolate over the top like I did. Decorate your cake with some chocolate decorations or you can leave it as you wish.
*Baking tip: The jaconde and caramelised hazelnuts can be made a day or two ahead. The chocolate crémeux should be made on the day of assembling.
You can choose to freeze the finished cake (sans glaze) for up to a month. Just glaze it and defrost before serving.
Once defrosted, it should be eaten within 4-5 days. | <urn:uuid:8dddc5b4-6fc7-445b-8d3e-1283deb3c19b> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://jothetartqueen.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/dark-chocolate-hazelnut-cake-a-birthday-cake/ | 2020-08-10T02:00:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738603.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810012015-20200810042015-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.901874 | 1,558 | [

‘This is the store’s best kept secret’: the cheap $ 2.49 Aldi chocolate that tastes just like the popular Kinder Bueno bars
- A TikTok user has gone viral after viewing desserts from Aldi Australia
- The Choceur Liviano Hazelnut bars are a ‘dupe’ of Kinder Bueno
- Each 150-gram package costs $ 2.49 and contains seven chocolate bars
- The Aldi dupe has a cream filling with wafer layers and a layer of chocolate
- The foodie also rated an ice cream that tastes exactly like a Golden Gaytime
An Australian food lover has reviewed her five favorite Aldi chocolates – one of which would be an almost identical version of Kinder Bueno at a quarter of the price.
TikTok star Merna shared a 25-second video revealing that the ‘dupe’ was a 150g packet of Choceur Liviano Hazelnut Creme bars.
“I think it’s a little secret that Aldi has the best chocolate ever and this is a dupe for Bueno – yum!” Merna said in the video that has been viewed more than 71,000 times.

A food lover has reviewed her top Aldi chocolate. Of the chocolates were the Choceur Liviano Hazelnut Creme bars, said to be a ‘dupe’ of Kinder Bueno (photo right)
The product has a light cream filling, a crispy golden outer wafer layer and is topped with European milk chocolate.
In 2018, due to its popularity with customers, the hazelnut bar was on Aldi’s Product of the Year list.
As with Kinder Bueno, the Aldi dupe bars are individually wrapped, but shoppers can purchase a 150-gram package of seven for $ 2.49.
Compared to Bueno, which often sells their bars for $ 1 each, the Aldi replica costs just 35 cents per bar.

Other TikTok users commented on the video, agreeing that Aldi’s chocolate is underestimated.
‘Yes, the chocolate at Aldi is a must! Literally the only chocolate we buy is from Aldi, “said one fan.
“It’s the best chocolate ever!” another added and a third said, “I get that Liviano almost every week, it’s the best!”
In the video, Merna also discussed the Summer Delight ice cream, which is almost identical to the Golden Gaytime classic in Australia
In the video, Merna also discussed the Summer Delight ice cream, which is very similar to the Golden Gaytime classic in Australia.

How many people does it take to change (the world)?
Did you hear?
London is burning, and
not for the first time.
It appears that, despite this city’s strange obsession
with umbrellas, its foundations are as flammable
as the first little pig’s house, its people
are an exothermic reaction raging in an unchecked,
(underfunded) school laboratory.
Rumour has it that
flames were first sighted in Minneapolis,
through the irrevocable lens of an iPhone,
where a man’s dying words became
a generation’s catharsis
but some witnesses claim that
their smoke alarms have been sounding
since 1619, when the tides first brought ships
full of stolen lives onto our horizon.
For the past fifteen days,
children of the first apocalypse
have spilled onto the streets, from households
struggling to domesticate their
multi-faceted, thinly-medicated anguish.
You see, I’ve heard that
21st century grievances have outgrown
the wafer-thin walls of polite, terraced houses,
they take more than 280 characters to narrate
under a trending hashtag.
So you should be careful
of these creatures, their skin is particularly sensitive
to slurs, their ossicles have evolved
to filter out politicians.
They read Noughts and Crosses instead of Middlemarch
and practised survival skills on playgrounds more segregated
than dystopian landscapes.
They learnt that justice is only balanced on the scales
Statues of costumed oppression
fall at their feet
and days later, are dredged from river beds
to repent for a history of unspoken sins.
The future of our beautiful, broken planet
is already dust beneath their heels
and maybe that’s a good thing.
This is an excellent take on the political poem; a notoriously difficult form approached with such assurance! There is so much to recommend this poem (from the phrase-making: ‘its people/ are an exothermic reaction’ to the extended metaphor which links fire and revolution). The author might have explored the musical possibilities of words a little more so as to more fully crystallise a sense that this had to be a poem and not another kind of text. In other words what can the sound of the word do to invoke meaning as well as the definition of the word? Nonetheless, a wonderful poem.” Kayo Chingonyi, Orwell Youth Prize Judge

As the Windows 10 release gets closer, excitement around the OS is growing among those waiting to close the curtain on Windows 8.
Lenovo, the world’s largest PC maker, sees more customers wanting to upgrade to Windows 10, and is bullish about the OS, said Peter Hortensius, chief technology officer at Lenovo, during an interview at International CES in Las Vegas.
“I think customers are anxious to breathe some life into that product,” Hortensius said. “We’re obviously very bullish and hopeful on Windows 10.”
Windows 10 will succeed the current Windows 8.1 operating system, which has been criticized for its radically different touch-based tablet user interface. Windows 10 will resolve many problems affecting Windows 8.1, which is a good OS but has its issues, Hortensius said.
Further reading: Windows 10: 12 things you need to know
For example, Windows 10 will boot straight to the desktop, something Windows 8 can’t do. (A spring update for Windows 8.1 added the feature, however.) That’s a common-sense approach that is bringing customer confidence back in the OS.
“The travails of Windows 8 are well documented,” Hortensius said. “But it’s still not an integrated experience.”
The UI change, multiple OS editions, and program compatibility issues didn’t go down well with many, and enterprise customers preferred to skip Windows 8 and are still upgrading PCs with the older Windows 7. Windows 10 brings back many familiar Windows 7 features, which Microsoft hopes will please OS loyalists.
The new OS removes program incompatibility issues plaguing Windows Phone and Windows 8 versions for Intel and ARM processors.
One big change in Windows 10 is the return of the Start menu, which was abandoned in Windows 8. Also, Windows 10 will scale from mobile to desktop devices, and applications will be compatible across all devices. Microsoft offers different versions of Windows for mobile phones, desktops and servers, and Windows 10 will unite those editions.
Analysts have said Windows 10 could spur a round of PC upgrades in businesses, which could boost PC shipments. Lenovo’s shipments have increased even as rivals like Dell and Hewlett-Packard struggled in recent years as laptop and desktop shipments slowed.
Customers are responding well to changes in Windows 10, and Microsoft is taking the right approach in developing the OS, Hortensius said.
“We’re very positive about where the product is going,” Hortensius said.
A consistent user experience across all devices is important, and it has to be seamless, Hortensius said.
A fully integrated and collaborative experience will help Microsoft’s chances of putting Windows 10 in more devices, Hortensius said.
Depending on customer demand, Lenovo may consider the OS for a range PCs, tablets and handsets.
“It’s up to Microsoft to make competitive offerings. If they do... we’ll gladly use it,” Hortensius said.
Microsoft hasn’t provided a Windows 10 shipping date, but it is expected to be in PCs later this year. A beta version of the OS is already available for download.
Hardware makers are preparing for the new OS. Lenovo and other PC makers will likely put Windows 10 in laptops and desktops later this year. Intel and Advanced Micro Devices are already tuning chips for the OS.

Reinfeldt becomes key in turning around Seattle's busy offseason
Sun | Sports
SEATTLE (AP) — A few weeks back, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck bumped into dealmaker Mike Reinfeldt while filling up at a local gas station. A few weeks later, Reinfeldt had re-signed Hasselbeck — one of a handful of deals likely to prove critical to the teams' future.
At the filling station, Reinfeldt, a former vice president with the Seahawks, told Hasselbeck he'd been called in as a consultant to help negotiate with Seattle's laundry list of free agents.
"He said ... 'I just want you to know that I think you're an important key to our team and I'm going to make it a priority to get you done,"' Hasselbeck said. "It was short, but we had a nice little conversation. Everything about it felt good."
With the team cleaning house in the front office, Reinfeldt entered the picture Feb. 3 and turned a Seattle offseason littered with question marks into a positive situation.
The Seahawks signed Hasselbeck and offensive tackle Walter Jones to long-term contracts, allowing the team to designate Pro Bowl running back Shaun Alexander their franchise player and keep him under their control.
Not bad for a couple weeks of work.
"Mike Reinfeldt and the people involved have done a great job," said new Seahawks president Tim Ruskell. "I look forward to a long relationship there if that's the way it works out."
Reinfeldt was a senior vice president in charge of contract negotiation with the Seahawks for five years. He left the organization before the start of last season after turning down a new contract, and amid speculation of tension with then-president Bob Whitsitt.
But owner Paul Allen fired Whitsitt on Jan. 14. With no president and free agency problems looming, Reinfeldt was brought back to lead negotiations with Seattle's 16 unrestricted free agents.
"I think they realized they had things that had to get done, and I had those skills, and I was in the area," Reinfeldt said.
Immediately, Reinfeldt set his sights on Jones, who had spent the previous three seasons as Seattle's franchise player, playing under a series of one-year contracts.
Jones' agent, Roosevelt Barnes, noticed an immediate difference in Reinfeldt's leeway in getting the deal finished.
"It just seemed like Mike had a lot of freedom this time around in being able to stretch and get the deal done," Barnes said.
Reinfeldt's relationship with agents comes from working on player personnel with the Green Bay Packers and Seahawks since 1991. His experience as a former player also helps in the process. Reinfeldt played nine years in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers.
"He understands all sides of it — the money, personnel aspect, and the political, internal aspect," Hasselbeck's agent David Dunn said. "Having been a player is helpful, because he knows how players are."
How Reinfeldt fits into the Seahawks future remains to be determined. His first extensive meeting with Ruskell came over breakfast Wednesday morning before Ruskell was officially introduced as team president.
For now, he'll continue working with Seattle's 13 remaining free agents and evaluating talent the Seahawks will pursue when the free agent signing period begins March 2. Even with the signings of Hasselbeck, Jones and Alexander's designation, the Seahawks still have salary cap room to get some goals accomplished, Reinfeldt said.
"We'll continue the process and keep banging away at it," he said. | <urn:uuid:80d93ffa-8dfe-41ed-8ecc-24580ac6f885> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://products.kitsapsun.com/archive/2005/02-25/33920_reinfeldt_becomes_key_in_turning.html | 2020-08-13T17:38:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.975421 | 746 | [

Cisco Systems is set to acquire July Systems, a cloud-based location services software platform vendor based in California.
Privately held July Systems uses wi-fi analytics to allow retail stores, hotels, convention centres and other large facilities to gain insights into their customers. The July Systems solution is cloud-based and sold on a subscription basis.
With July Systems, Cisco said it will evolve its location services business, and will continue to support and market Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences. Cisco has partnered with July Systems for a number of years as an OEM for mobile experiences, as well as Meraki.
July Systems was founded in 2001, and has raised nearly US$60 million in venture funding from investors like Sequoia Capital, Intel Capital and others. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close during Cisco's fiscal first quarter.
July Systems will become part of Cisco's Enterprise Networking Group, led by senior vice president and general manager Scott Harrell.
Cisco is in the midst of a major shift in emphasis toward software sold on a subscription basis as the market moves away from expensive, proprietary networking hardware. July Systems fits into Cisco's effort to open its DNA Center intent-based networking platform by allowing partners to develop industry-specific solutions for customers, the company said in a blog post.
Partners will have an opportunity to develop solutions that increase customer insights, and develop visitor and guest engagement programs, the company said. | <urn:uuid:48ee2edd-d84c-4a5e-abed-0fd4f2f21b63> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.crn.com.au/news/cisco-bolsters-location-services-with-july-systems-acquisition-494793 | 2020-08-13T16:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.975956 | 297 | [

NY airports, hospitals under pressure as virus cases mount
New York – New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state is scouring the globe for medical supplies and scouting temporary hospital locations in and around New York City. Flights were briefly suspended to New York City-area airports because of staffing issues after an air-traffic control worker tested positive for coronavirus. The number of confirmed cases statewide soared above 10,000.
More on the latest coronavirus developments Saturday in New York:
HOSPITAL BEDS & SUPPLIES
New York is scouring the globe for desperately needed medical supplies and scouting temporary hospital locations in New York City and its suburbs as confirmed coronavirus cases soared above 10,000 statewide, Cuomo said Saturday.
The goal is to quickly boost the state’s hospital capacity from around 50,000 beds to 75,000 beds, Cuomo said at a news briefing. The state has already hospitalized 1,600 people. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has declared a major disaster in the state, freeing up access to billions of dollars in relief funding.
The governor said the state is looking to see if Manhattan’s spacious Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, normally home to the auto show and other big events, could be suitable for 1,000 requested field hospital beds that would be supplied by FEMA in a “tent configuration” with equipment and staff.
On a parallel track, the state is scouting four locations for temporary hospitals that would be built by the Army Corps of Engineers. The possible sites include the Javits Center in the city, Stony Brook University and SUNY College at Old Westbury on Long Island, and the Westchester County Center north of the city. Sites will be reviewed Saturday, he said.
“Everything that can be done is being done,” Cuomo said.
Officials have identified 2 million face masks that can be sent to hot spots, Cuomo said, and apparel companies are pivoting to make masks. One million masks are being sent Saturday to New York City hospitals, and 500,000 to Long Island. And with hospital gowns in short supply, the state is trying to obtain gown material for apparel makers, he said.
Because of dwindling supplies, hospitals have been rationing supplies and asking staff to reuse masks until they become soiled.
The state is also rounding up critically needed ventilators, purchasing 6,000 to deploy to the most critical areas and investigating whether multiple patients can be served by a single ventilator, Cuomo said.
“We are literally scouring the globe looking for medical supplies,” he said.
The state also will immediately conduct trials of an experimental COVID-19 treatment with hydroxychloroquine and Zithromax, Cuomo said.
Hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug, has been touted by President Donald Trump as a possible answer-in-waiting to the outbreak, though many experts caution more testing needs to be done.
Cuomo said the Food and Drug Administration is sending 10,000 doses to the state.
Northwell Health, which operates hospitals in the New York City region, announced Friday that it was conducting clinical trials with remdesivir, an antiviral drug, and sarilumab, a human antibody that could prevent severe pneumonia complications.
Northwell said it is offering the trials to patients already hospitalized in its facilities with moderate and severe COVID-19 conditions, with a goal of improving recovery and speeding discharge.
The Federal Aviation Administration briefly suspended flights to New York City-area airports on Saturday after a trainee at a regional air-traffic control hub on Long Island tested positive for the disease.
In an alert posted online, the FAA advised air traffic controllers to “stop all departures” to John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, Newark and other airports in the region because of staffing issues at the Ronkonkoma facility, which the agency says primarily handles high-altitude, cross-country flights.
The halt, which also affected Philadelphia’s airport, was lifted after about 30 minutes. Controllers were initially warned it could last several hours.
In a statement, the FAA said the Ronkonkoma facility remains open. The agency said the trainee was last there on Tuesday and that is it working to figure out what other workers he may have interacted with.
Air traffic controllers at Kennedy operated from an alternate location on airport property this week after a technician assigned to the airport’s control tower tested positive for COVID-19.
The FAA said that the technician hadn’t been to work since March 11 and that controllers returned to the tower after precautionary cleaning.
Toll collectors on the New York State Thruway will stop collecting cash Sunday night as a safety measure. Thruway operators say drivers without an E-ZPass tag should enter through a cash lane without taking a ticket when they enter the highway. When they exit the highway, drivers will need to tell a toll collector which exit they entered and provide license plate information. A bill will be sent to the owner of the vehicle in about a month. There are no changes for drivers with E-ZPass.

Freddy Fender Biography
Baldemar G. Huerta, 4 June 1937, San Benito, Texas, USA, d. 14 October 2006, Corpus Christi, USA. Fender, a Mexican-American, came from a family of migrant workers who were based in the San Benito valley. A farm worker from the age of 10, Fender reminisced how he worked beets in Michigan, pickles in Ohio, baled hay and picked tomatoes in Indiana. When that was over, it was cotton-picking time in Arkansas. Fender sang and played guitar along with the blues, country and Mexican records he heard on the radio, which eventually developed into his own hybrid style. He joined the US marines in 1953, spending his time in the brig and eventually being dismissed for bad conduct. Referring back to his military service, he later stated, It has taken me 35 years to have my discharge changed from bad conduct, and this means I am now eligible for a military funeral.
Fender began playing rockabilly in Texas honky tonks in the late 50s and he recorded a Spanish version of Dont Be Cruel as well as his own composition, Wasted Days And Wasted Nights (1958). He later recalled, I had a gringo manager and started recording in English. Since I was playing a Fender guitar and amplifier, I changed my name to Freddy Fender. A fight in one club left him with a broken nose and a knife wound in his neck. Starting in 1960, Fender spent three years in Angola State Prison, Louisiana, on drug offences and he recorded several tracks on a cassette recorder while in jail, later collected on an album. Upon his release, he secured a residency at a Bourbon Street club in New Orleans.
Despairing of ever finding real success, Fender returned to San Benito in 1969 and took regular work as a mechanic. He gained a sociology degree with a view to helping ex-convicts. He returned to performing, however, and Before The Next Teardrop Falls, which he performed in English and Spanish, became a number 1 US pop hit in 1975. He had further US chart success with Wasted Days And Wasted Nights (number 8 and dedicated to Doug Sahm), Secret Love (number 20), Youll Lose A Good Thing and Vaya Con Dios. Fenders overwrought vocals, which even added something to How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?, were skilfully matched by Huey P. Meauxs arrangements featuring marimbas, accordion, harpsichord and steel guitar. His fuzzy hair and roly-poly body made him an unlikely pop star, but his admirers included Elvis Presley.
Fender succumbed to alcohol and drugs which forced his wife, in 1985, to enter him in a clinic, which apparently cured him. Fender played a corrupted mayor in the 1987 movie The Milagro Beanfield War, directed by Robert Redford. In 1990, he formed an all-star Tex-Mex band, the Texas Tornados, with long-time friends Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers (from Sir Douglas Quintet), and accordionist Flaco Jiminez. Their self-titled debut album was a critical and commercial success, but subsequent collaborations failed to match its stylist blend of conjunto, country and R&B. Fender was signed to Warner Brothers Records as a soloist on the back of the groups success. The Freddy Fender Collection, his initial offering released in 1991, was a disappointing collection of remakes of his early hits. He enjoyed more success as a member of Los Super Seven, winning a group Grammy in 1998 for best Mexican-American performance.
In 2001, Fender was reported as being unwell with hepatitis and the following year he underwent surgery for a kidney transplant (donated by his daughter). Nevertheless, his collection of Latin classics La Música De Baldemar Huerta won a Grammy award for Best Latin Pop Album. After receiving a liver transplant in 2004, Fender was diagnosed with lung cancer two years later. He succumbed to the disease in October 2006.

When Jesus saw her weeping, and
the Jews who had come with her also weeping,
he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled.
And he said, Where have you laid him? …
When he had said these things,
he cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come out. (John 11:33-34,43)
By Stephen W. Hiemstra
The two-part form of a lament sets us on a spiritual journey. When Jesus weeps, the dead are raised (Mark 5:38–41). When Jesus dies, our lives are redeemed and we find hope (1 Pet 1:3), as the Apostle Paul writes:
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. (Phil 3:10-11)
Paul advises us to imitate Christ and to place our emotions in God’s service (e.g. Rom 12:14–15) so that the physical world might itself be redeemed (Rom 8:22).
Christian hope redeems our mourning. The hope of resurrection permits us to look beyond the grief in this life to our future in Christ, as the Prophet Jeremiah wrote so eloquently:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)
We hear an echo of Jeremiah in the Sermon on the Mount, when he writes about anxiety:
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (Matt 6:25)
Anxiety is a form of grieving over life’s daily challenges—what to eat or what to wear—in a kind of despair over present circumstances.
As Christians, we know that present circumstances give way to a future in Christ—death does not have the final word (1 Thess 4:13). Because our future is in Christ, we are like children who can delight in hearing scary stories knowing that the stories have a happy ending. The Apostle Paul writes:
For godly grief [θεὸν λύπη; “theo lupe”] produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. (2 Cor 7:10)
The word for grief that Paul uses means: “pain of mind or spirit, grief, sorrow, affliction” (BDAG 4625). We grieve over our sin; we lament over our brokenness; and once we have poured it all out, we turn to God and repent, as the Psalmist writes:
Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. (Ps 126:5–6)
This sounds similar to Luke’s version of the Second Beatitude: “Honored are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.” (Luke 6:21)
Through godly grief and repentance God gently leads us to salvation | <urn:uuid:1a5dfefd-078f-4d0d-a6ca-006d395d0d21> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://t2pneuma.net/2020/03/27/death-means-resurrection/ | 2020-08-07T00:18:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737050.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807000315-20200807030315-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.949741 | 704 | [

Two events that predominantly featured Citroëns came our attention this week, – one involving a CX in an Australian rally and another – a gathering in downtown Saigon, Vietnam.
The Bangers to Bluff Rally is an annual charity event organized by the Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay, Australia in which a small group of adventurers travel for 13 days on roads less travelled from Auckland to Bluff to raise about $40,000 AUS. The proceeds from the auction went to Multiple Sclerosis NZ and Hopeworks Foundation (a brain injury education trust).
Participants in 12 vehicles left the big smoke on April 10 and arrived in Bluff on Saturday, with the event organizers then taking ownership of the cars and getting them auctioned at a local tavern. They stayed in motels and at holiday parks along the way.
Co-driver Pete Littlewood, left, and driver Sven Hanne originally purchased their 1978 CX car for $400 for the Bangers to Bluff trip, and then repurchased it at an auction held at a local tavern for $500.
Cars entered in the rally had to have been purchased for less than $2,000 and their owners each paid $500 to enter the event. They were also responsible for individually raising money for the charities.
One of the CX owners, Sven Hanne, purchased it back at the auction so he could drive it home to New Plymouth. “We needed a way to get back to Taranaki,” he said, “It was cheaper than an airline ticket.”
Sven also had some emotional attachment to the vehicle which, after doing a lot of work on it in preparation for the journey. (It broke down just once during the rally).
And in Vietnam on April 21, a variety of DS and a Traction Avant, along with some other classic cars, met up in the center of Saigon. It was quite a sight as they gathered in front of the Hotel Continental. Patrons seated in the restaurant patio in front of the hotel took the opportunity to do some wonderful sketches of the D models on display. | <urn:uuid:3229b883-88d0-4314-99ab-1fbc9f2b2a86> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://citroenvie.com/citroen-happenings-on-the-western-pacific-rim/ | 2020-08-08T14:37:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737883.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808135620-20200808165620-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.975001 | 436 | [

Instructor Stories: Jessixa Bagley
We're thrilled to have the multi-award winning Jessixa Bagley teaching our Watercolors intensive this month. Jessixa Bagley graduated with a BFA in painting and printmaking from Cornish Cornish College of Arts. She has worked in comics, fine arts, and illustration, with her work appearing in publications like the following: Highlights, Nickelodeon Magazine, The Chicago Reader, The Stranger, and The Seattle Weekly. Working on picture books has been a lifelong goal for her.
Alexandra Penfold at Upstart Crow Literary represents Jessixa's picture books, and Neal Porter edits them.
If you'd like to get to know Jessixa a little better, you can watch this fun drawing interview she did with The New York Times Children's Book Editor Maria Russo.
Jessixa's picture books have all received a lot of positive attention. Her debut picture book, Boats for Papa, won many awards, including: a Fall 2015 Junior Library Guild Selection, the SCBWI 2016 Golden Kite Award for Best Picture Book Text, and the 2016 Washington State Scandiuzzi Children's Book Award. The following year, Laundry Day garnered a Junior Library Guild Selection for Fall 2016 and a 2018 Ezra Jack Keats Honor Award for Writing. She collaborated with her husband on Vincent Comes Home. And her next book, Henry and Bea, is coming on October 29, 2019!
Watercolors with Jessixa Bagley
In this In this 50-minute intensive, you'll learn how to sketch an illustration, make a tighter version of it, transfer the tighter version to watercolor paper, ink your pencil drawing, and paint your illustration with watercolors.
Illustrators need a solid foundation in drawing, and this intensive will help you improve those skills before Jessixa teaches you her techniques for painting.
Each of Jessixa's three lessons will have a step-by-step handout to help you implement her techniques. The live review/workshop for this class will be on Sunday, November 3 at noon, PST. If you miss the live review, a replay will be available.
Jessixa also provided one of her own illustrations for students to trace, transfer, and paint for practice. So, if you don't have an idea for an illustration yet, you can still work through the intensive with her.
Book Giveaway Details
For the book giveaway, which IS open to international readers, the winner can choose one book—any book—of Jessixa’s. To enter, you must tell me which book you’d choose in the comments of this post. For additional entries, you can share the post on social media and post a link to where you’ve shared in the comments (preferably as a comment to your original comment so that all of your entries are grouped together).
You can go ahead and ask questions in the comments and interact with each other, but I won’t count those as entries.
I’ll close the contest at midnight PST on October 18. Thanks for reading and sharing!

In the first of a two-part conversation, TSA’s Chief Executive Alyson Scurfield gains some insight from Tunstall CEO Gordon Sutherland about developments happening within one of the UK’s market leaders in telehealth and telecare managed services, the ripple effect for the wider industry and how he sees the TEC sector developing when we come out of Covid-19 and its legacy.
Tunstall Healthcare recently announced that it has secured funding to support its continued growth.In this time, the Company has almost doubled the number of users managed by its systems, while increasing its geographic footprint across Europe. Tunstall now operates in 17 countries globally and supports more than 5 million end users through its technology and service offerings in telehealth and telecare managed services.
The new funding from Barings, M&G and the lender group shows a significant commitment and will provide the Company with flexibility and improve the overall financial strength of the business, allowing the organisation to continue to build on the good work done to date with further development and innovations in the field of digital telecare and telehealth.
Alyson: We saw the press release about the change in ownership – when does this happen and what impact will it have on Tunstall?
Gordon: For Tunstall it really is excellent news as we now have a stable financial platform with sustainable levels of debt to enable investment in the company and market development. Further funding is available for acquisitions and partnerships.This means we can accelerate our transformation to a software solutions company, developing new solutions with our customers to help them manage an increasing number of users with a wide range of social and healthcare needs. In practical terms it means expanding our I&D capability across Europe, more response centre agents in most geographies and new business consultant roles to help our customers envisage and then build a new future.
The change in ownership deal is now subject to several legal steps including a European Commission review regarding Competition Law.We expect to be able to address any issues and the deal to be signed in late June/July.
Alyson: As a trusted member of the telecare/ telehealth industry what message would you like your customers and users to hear as a result of this change, and do you believe this to be good news for the industry and the sector overall?
Gordon: It is good news for the sector; a vibrant competitive supplier base will bring innovation and energy for change which eventually makes life better for the users or citizens who utilise what our industry can offer.
Just as we see across Europe, the benefits to the broader population of an integrated social care and health structure, in particular the realisation that effective social care delays entry into the ‘expensive health care structures’ and can accelerate the citizen to return home if hospitalised for any reason. Perhaps here in the UK, post Covid 19 we will see an increasing willingness to invest in social care to deliver effective ‘population health’ here. We want to work with you, our customers, to deploy data-driven solutions to enable your budgets go further and to keep your end-users safe.
Also, please do not believe any rumour you may hear about the financial instability of Tunstall. This is not the case but if anyone has any concerns please contact me or Gavin Bashar, our UK Managing Director.
Alyson: Moving away from this news, we have heard Tunstall talk about Reactive care, Proactive care, Predictive care and now we see references to Cognitive Care, sometimes referred to as Intelli-care. Can you explain what they mean and why is Tunstall so committed to this concept?
Gordon: Reactive care is a label we give to what is the well-established model of telecare - it means we react to the user who presses the button/ trigger / sensor for help.We offer 24/7/365 service levels and this is the service upon which Tunstall has built its reputation.
Proactive Care is an agreed package of care which can encompass the above plus social care visits plus, an agreed schedule of outbound calls from our teams to check the user is well and has followed whatever actions were expected from them.Our business in Spain has been operating this way for some time and the results (soon to be published) in terms of decreased GP visits, visits to A&E, extended time at home before entering a Nursing home are very impressive.
Predictive Care is all the above, and additionally we apply the data gathered from ambient sensors deployed throughout the home to detect any changes in routine which may suggest the onset of a health care risk.Examples are time in bed, frequency of in and out of bed or bathroom usage patterns altered dramatically. These changes are then notified to the relevant provider of the service.
Cognitive or Intelli-Care is one step further where we gather data, with the citizen’s approval, of their lifestyle, exercise, diet, vital signs etc., which is then added to the data from social service and their healthcare records.This data is collected when the user is at home or out and about and is then continually analysed to deliver ‘nudge’ social or healthcare interactions from the authority or from family and friends. It will also detect changes in vital signs which may require urgent intervention.This system is in its infancy but does represent where we are taking our organisation.
This picture may help understand this further: | <urn:uuid:7c83aafc-22ea-4679-89fe-344bead7f38a> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://tsa.l3.duodesign.co.uk/news_and_views/blog/tsa-chief-executive-alyson-scurfield-in-conversation-with-tunstall-ceo-gordon-sutherland/ | 2020-08-10T08:38:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738653.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810072511-20200810102511-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.951599 | 1,103 | [

a) Describe how manual tasks are assigned to persons using role definitions.
b) What advantages does the usage of role definitions bring in contrast to directly allocating tasks to persons at design-time?
c) Describe situations in which role-based allocation of tasks to persons is not appropriate. Try to find extensions to classical role definitions.

Katherine grew up on the Northern Beaches but now lives in Tamworth! Many of her nearest and dearest remain on the northern beaches, however, one of whom is Tracey who was the primary motivator for Katherine to join us on this trip! The coolest thing about Katherine is that she chooses a new challenge every year, where she does something totally new and out of her comfort zone. She has done this for years. Some of the she has done include learning to dance & performed in a concert, learnt to water ski and this year, she’s trekking to Everest Base Camp! To add another layer, this trip is also very spiritual for Katherine; she needs to prove to herself that she is okay, after surviving ovarian cancer three years ago.
Katherine says that it will be her mental toughness that gets her to EBC. She puts her cancer recovery to the same cause: stubbornness. She says “99% of recovery is mental, it was never a negotiation, cancer was a speedbump” and so is this trek!. She knows that she will never be where she was before, physically, and her experience has given her perspective. If something goes wrong Katherine says that she will be okay with doing the panorama option (1000M lower and much shorter hiking days). For her, the most important thing is that the experience is enjoyable; it is the act of trekking around Nepal that is her goal, not the achievement of EBC. She wants to grow from this, and get something out of it. She has missed out on adventures before, when her friends went trekking while she had cancer, and is determined to be a part of it this time around!
As someone who has had a fairly major health event, she is uniquely qualified to offer advice to someone who is struggling – there is always someone struggling on any given day! Katherine believes that when the going gets tough, “close your eyes, breathe, and remember why you’re doing this”. She refuses to compare herself to anyone else, even as she is competitive within herself. She will remind her walking partner that day to “remember why they are here… and to look around! You’re doing it already!”. In these situations she will set smaller goals, for example, get to the next tree, or the next hill, then sit and rest, before setting another small goal.
Katherine believes that her biggest challenge will be the cold: “I don’t like being cold, once I’m cold I go internal and shut down”. She also acknowledges that starting early will be a challenge and maybe the food too! She’s nervous, because “of the unknown, things are bigger in your head then they are in reality”, however she has fried much bigger fish before, and intends to achieve this regardless!
Katherine is looking forward to “just walking”, seeing if she can do it, meeting Nepali people. Her mantra is: “FIGHT. Get up every day and just fight”. The most important thing for her is completing this trek – whether she gets to EBC or completes the Panorama trek, she will be excited, and feel accomplished! She plans to take many moments to be still, and appreciate her surroundings and what her body can do. When asked how she will feel at the end, she replied “Tired. I think it’s going to be a “tick”, and it’s going to feel pretty damn good, regardless of which trek I do”… and we are inclined to agree!
BEST OF LUCK Katherine! | <urn:uuid:476b1935-5fef-45a0-8de2-564f1ca80652> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://into-you.com.au/meet-2017-hike-nepal-team-katherine-kerr/ | 2020-08-13T20:08:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739073.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813191256-20200813221256-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.979217 | 761 | [

Welcome to Women Ministering! I am Fleda Benne – the founder of Women Ministering and I’m truly grateful to have you here. I live in a small, rural town in Idaho with my wonderful husband, 3 dogs, assorted cats and other creatures all on our farm. We live on a hillside with an amazing view of the beautiful valley we live in. Everyday, I thank God for what He has done for me.
I founded Women Ministering as a women who has spent her entire life in ministry, doing everything from Funeral Dinners to being the Pastor. I and my late husband started two smaller churches and also served on staff in three others, including one large church. My great desire is to see women set free to reach their full capacity, overcome obstacles, and fulfill their vision to serve Christ, loving Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.
I also founded a faith-based, non-profit serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and worked for many years there and with a County Prosecutor’s office working with victims of crime. In 2015, my first husband died in an accident, shattering my world. Eleven months later, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I am now cancer-free and remarried to a wonderful man. God has restored my life, hope, and my faith is stronger than ever. I share these things to let you know that I understand what it means to minister in and outside the church and to endure difficult life circumstances. I speak from my own experience.
Women have unique gifts and obstacles when it comes to Christian ministry. For this reason, Women Ministering seeks to be a central site providing access to all types of resources both free and paid. At the same time, the need for personal support is tremendous and Women Ministering provides a place for women in similar circumstances to come together and support one another. Blogs, Bible Studies, links to resources and sites, ministry resources for every department, along with personal interactions and support are all part of what Women Ministering is about.
Join the community of women who are changing the world by sharing God’s love! Women Ministering is dedicated to providing resources, encouragement, connections, and support to women who are serving in any capacity whether in or outside a church.
This is my passion – to provide a place where women fulfilling their calling in Christ can find personal support, resources, and connections to thrive. Be Inspired to Flourish!

Sarah Beckman has returned to Iowa State to join the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering as a laboratory supervisor. Beckman graduated from Iowa State in 1999 with a concurrent B.S. in ceramic engineering and M.S. in materials science and engineering.
“I’ve enjoyed being back at Iowa State University,” Beckman says. “The energy of the students and the timelessness of the campus make it feel like a lot less than 20 years since I graduated.”
Beckman will work with CBE faculty and students in the areas of teaching laboratories, shared research laboratories and lab safety.
“If the students can cultivate an awareness of the risks inherent in the activities around them, feel compelled to stop and speak up when things don’t seem right, and are trying to continuously improve their safety practices, I will feel like we have successfully trained them for future employment,” Beckman said. | <urn:uuid:6a45f7d2-201e-4dec-a436-137042311278> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.cbe.iastate.edu/blog/2019/10/24/cbe-labs-and-safety-are-the-priority-for-returning-isu-alumna/ | 2020-08-03T23:26:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735836.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803224907-20200804014907-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.965609 | 192 | [

Here we are at last for another installment of the Leaves of Hellebore series, I’m still building a plot and this particular character’s introduction is integral to the main story which will begin to unfold soon.
“Astelle clutches her favourite of all the many books of Loregarde; a large, heavy and ancient tome of which she can understand nothing written within; but the beautifully written script is something magical in itself and captivating in the fullest sense leaving no need to understand, just a strong sense of admiration and wonderment.”
Astelle is the curator and keeper of the Loregarde Paper House, it boasts the largest collection of scrolls, records, tomes and manuscripts in the world and is also a place of learning for the sages.
Situated in the palace district of the Empire’s capital city, it is heavily guarded and entry is permitted only with special permission and even then not everything is allowed to be read by those permitted entry into the building; there is also a small collection of texts from the Eldar days although there are no known persons who can understand or translate them.
If you haven’t already then be sure to subscribe to my blog via email to be notified when I publish future posts, the subscription box can be found further down the page.

Earlier in the week we brought you news that Skoda’s vRS-ified Kodiak had set a record at the Nurburgring.
We didn’t have a time then, but we do now – 9:29.84. It’s the fastest seven-seater around the Nordschleife circuit thanks to the driving expertise of Sabine Schmidt.
Having driven more than 30,000 laps of the infamously gruelling circuit, Sabine was the ideal driver to get the best out of the Kodiak’s new 2.0-litre BiTDI engine and the 236bhp it produces. Torque is easily accessible from the unit – reserved especially for the Kodiak vRS – thanks to Dynamic Sound Boost, and adaptive chassis control and selectable driving modes helped Sabine achieve the record.
The lap was completed with the vRS still wearing its camouflage, with the global debut set for the Paris Motor Show in October. | <urn:uuid:8a1a396d-f33c-4992-ae88-f471b19e4a84> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://4x4i.com/skoda-kodiak-vrs-sets-7-seater-nurburgring-record/ | 2020-08-10T19:20:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737168.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810175614-20200810205614-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.930035 | 204 | [

Steven Soderbergh made an interesting gamble in 2011, he took a collection of all cast stars and wrote about a fictive disease and the issues that the would would have dealing with it. Today less than 10 years later we see ‘death toll jumps to 170 amid evacuation delays for foreign nationals‘, as well as ‘returning Britons could be kept in quarantine for 14 days‘ and many more. This morning I saw a staggering amount of people with face masks. All fearing what could come next. Steven Soderbergh was an optimist.
Frances Mao (BBC, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51290312) writes “For over a week now, the Australians trapped in Wuhan – many of them children – have been calling on their government to help get them out. But the announcement of a two-week quarantine on Christmas Island have given many pause for thought.” It is a nasty thing, especially for Australians and their view (as well as the UN view) on Christmas Island, a place where you go when you stop believing in any form of Christmas.
For the UK (the Guardian) we see “Planners earlier looked at holding returnees at a hotel or military base. But, after an emergency Cobra meeting on Wednesday afternoon chaired by the health secretary, Matt Hancock, it is understood that they will be flown into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and taken to an NHS facility to be monitored and treated if symptoms develop“, the issue is not who gets treated and who gets flagged, the issue is actually all the people who circumvent the flags and who avoid scruples as they claim that they are not sick. In this case it is a much larger issue, most people become spreaders even before they realise that they are sick and that is a decently rare occurrence in medical matters. The fact that we saw Yesterday ‘The death toll from the virus has risen to 170‘ is only part of the problem. The optional fact that we see less than an hour ago the simplified facts that ‘the number of infections jumped by nearly 30 percent‘ as well as ‘China Now Has More Cases Than It Had of SARS‘ (source: NY Times) implies that it will not merely hit healthy people, it will be the foundation of fear mongering, which the movie Contagion showed was counterproductive.
And my case of ‘the people who circumvent the flags‘ was not academic, Japan reported 30 minutes ago that they had 11 cases, so how long until that one person overlooked has infected their whole neighbourhood? The issue is not fear mongering or academic, there is every chance that this is happening and there will be a larger issue following that. CNN gave a link to the Coronavirus map in China and it shows that it is confirmed in 20 locations ALL OVER China. This implies that there are in addition to this at least 5 more locations unconfirmed and optionally a dozen cases on the run (read: travelling) with no indications where to and how many that they will infect. And even as most will herald the Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering for this map, how many are afraid to be on this map? Because their fear will propel the disease to healthy regions. It is hard to continue because of the fear that I become the fearmonger. I also want to be clear that my response is not as a critique on the China’s National Health Commission or the CCDC. the fact that we were seeing 6,000 cases (infected) on Wednesday and that we see a global number that surpasses 7,800 cases one day later gives rise to the thoughts I am having. Now we need to be certain that we also accept that there will be a percentage which are false positives, those with a normal flu, giving rise to a larger boost to the numbers. Even as I accept that this percentage is not to be speculated upon and that we need to be savvy of all cases, there is still a growing chance that people avoided being flagged and flew just before the curtain thinking that they were clear and that they would deal with their flu over the weekend. That is the stage we need to fear and the escalation of thousands of cases.
Even now as we are told that Tibet has its first case, how many did this person infect? We see countries and numbers, but the truth is that there are cases in Hong Kong, the United States, Taiwan, Australia, Macau, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, France, Germany, Canada, Vietnam, Nepal, Cambodia, Finland, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates. Each country where one person stated ‘Not me, I merely have a cold‘, that person will infect dozens more each day. That is how a pandemic starts. Let’s be clear, the term pandemic means an epidemic of disease that has spread across a large region (including multiple continents). In support we should also see that a widespread endemic disease that is stable in terms of how many people are getting sick from it is not a pandemic. With the Coronavirus, there is still no vaccine, there is no cure and its growth is almost like wildfire because of panicking people getting away from this disease whilst they spread it, most importantly they were carriers even before they were sick, so fear was not the instigator. In all this there is one additional fact that the New York Times gave us “Taiwan, Germany, Vietnam and Japan had patients that had not been to China“, which gives rise to the fact that unflagged people were involved, or even scarier, as this started with animals, we need to consider that the issue is larger than we thought. It needs to be clear that this Coronavirus is NOT new, it was discovered half a century ago but in all these cases, it was animals that infected humans. In several cases we see the fingers pointed at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, yet Science Magazine published on the 26th (Jon Cohen) that ‘Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally‘, there we see “a description of the first clinical cases published in The Lancet on Friday challenges that hypothesis” this comes from a large group of Chinese researchers and here we see “In the earliest case, the patient became ill on 1 December 2019 and had no reported link to the seafood market, the authors report. “No epidemiological link was found between the first patient and later cases,” they state. Their data also show that, in total, 13 of the 41 cases had no link to the marketplace“, and here we see that Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University seems to agree with the assessment, 13 out of 41 is too large a group to ignore. In my personal view it is not impossible that there is a covariant, if we consider that spreading happened before the personal marie celeste’s realised that they were sick, would it be possible that a busdriver was the link that was missing?
And it is here that we see the part where I went for and Science Magazine (at https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally) gives us “the virus possibly spread silently between people in Wuhan—and perhaps elsewhere—before the cluster of cases from the city’s now-infamous Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market was discovered in late December“. A silent interference on data. When we realise this we need to consider and agree that this is not fear mongering, it is almost hard chiseled facts that lead us here and as such watching the movie Contagion a little late is not the worst idea to have.
And it is that same magazine that gives us another part “Earlier reports from Chinese health authorities and the World Health Organization had said the first patient had onset of symptoms on 8 December 2019—and those reports simply said “most” cases had links to the seafood market, which was closed on 1 January” a situation that slowly took hold all over the world and this is the stage we now have and whilst officials are all about positive influence and flying home the ‘healthy’ people, they will optionally be the group spreading a much larger foundation of the disease. I say optionally, because there are clear foundations for testing, yet it is Bin Cao of Capital Medical University,a pulmonary specialist, wrote ““Now It seems clear that [the] seafood market is not the only origin of the virus,” he wrote. “But to be honest, we still do not know where the virus came from now.”” and there is the killer in all this ‘we still do not know‘ in a stage where we are given ‘a common source—as early as 1 October 2019‘ that is the foundation that eludes many of us and in hindsight when we consider the international infected, how many escaped a flagged view and how many did they infect? That is the question that officials need to have (and they might), yet we do not know and whilst we are all about ‘How can UK citizens leave Wuhan amid the coronavirus outbreak‘ yet the damage is optionally already done.
I do believe that there is no solution in fearing and burning at the stake anyone who has a cold (I have a cold at the present) yet the foundation of fear must be stopped in any way we can. For the simple reason that ‘My anxiety is increasing day by day‘ is not merely a Wuhanian expression, it is soon optionally to be a global one until we can give rise to clarity on where the disease is and until the vaccine is ready, the bulk of all people will be gripped by fear, just like in the movies. | <urn:uuid:a3d98846-57b8-4aaa-838a-d9b7e54c6fc5> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://lawlordtobe.com/tag/sri-lanka/ | 2020-08-10T19:42:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737168.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810175614-20200810205614-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.977679 | 2,081 | [

Here at Flavorwire, we pride ourselves on not only writing some of the best content on the internet, but keeping an eye on all of the great writing that other folks on the ‘net are doing, too. We’ve got two very different looks at how music interacts with fashion: one is an examination of Supreme’s use of John Coltrane in an early skate video, and the other is just a funny, service-y evaluation of Beyoncé’s new clothing line, Ivy Park. There’s also an essay on the new wave of emo, as well as a revisitation of Shadow of the Colossus, one of the most beautiful video games of all time.
At Pitchfork’s The Pitch, Jake Woolf pairs John Coltrane with Supreme. Early on in the life of the now-iconic skatewear brand Supreme, the company commissioned a skating video from filmmaker Thomas Campbell, who directed on Super8 and scored the clip with the first two tracks of Coltrane’s masterpiece, A Love Supreme (get it?). Woolf dives in to the parallels between jazz and skating, which go beyond the improvisational nature of both.
And despite what the X Games may suggest, the actual culture of skating is built more around socialization than competition. There are no scoreboards. Even though it’s often thought of an activity for misfits and troublemakers, there’s actually something beautiful about skating’s democratic qualities. Supreme was able to make a video that displayed this beauty while creating something warmer and more inviting than anything that came before it without dulling skateboarding’s rough edges.
At Jezebel, Jia Tolentino did the Lord’s work by trying on every piece of Ivy Park clothing. It’s a silly, barely-there concept, but Tolentino sells it with her self-deprecating, very funny voice. There’s not even much to say beyond the premise, so just some highlights:
The Ivy Park name for athleisure panties is the “mid-rise dance pant,” which sounds like the exhaling move that Britney Spears did in the “I’m a Slave 4 U” video, and looks like…whatever that looks like to you.
I tried on the small and two-thirds of my chest immediately fell out of the top of the sports bra. Buy your size if you’re into tits and restricting your own breathing; if not, buy one, maybe two sizes up.
I must disclose that Beyoncé and I have an intimate relationship consisting of A) both being from Houston; B) me seeing Destiny’s Child perform at the rodeo in 2001 and purchasing one (1) “backstage pass” on a lanyard; C) me narrowly missing her and Jay Z in 2007 as they exited a standout H-Town chicken ‘n waffle institution called The Breakfast Klub; and D) my ninth-grade cheerleading tryouts being judged by a former member of Girls Tyme.
Maria Sherman writes at Fuse about emo and its renaissance, and zeroes in on the way this new crop of bands has adopted an ugly aesthetic that takes something “cool” — from vintage indie rock bands — and makes it “uncool.” The ever-present negative connotation of emo continues to hang over the scene, too, but it seems to be a thing people have either chosen to ignore or simply live with.
Sorority Noise is an emo band. Like all acts branded with the three-letter word, they don’t enjoy the classification, but they accept it—to them, language is pointed and instituted exclusively on a foundational level; if people connect to it, it’s fine. The song “Using” is their best to date and thoroughly encapsulates this idea: in the chorus, Boucher scream-sings, “I stopped wishing I was dead / Learned to love myself before anyone else / Become more than just a burden / I know I’m more than worthy of your time.” Reading it feels like he’s actively working through something, hearing it feels much more declarative, a performative self-assurance. “Fake it ’til you make it” here is a balancing act, a conversation of mental difference.
At KillScreen, writer Gareth Damian Martin revisits Shadow of the Colossus, a video game released in 2005. The game focuses on a single character who rides a horse and has a sword, and he must conquer skyscraper-sized colossi who roam the barren world for no known reason. He draws real-life parallels to the game’s barren landscape, which is both haunting and beautiful.
Shadow of the Colossus is filled with fictional proof of a long passed human presence. Though the central tower of Dormin’s shrine suggests that this land is a holy place, not a home, the map is scattered with broken halls, fallen towers, lonely arches. The scale is monumental, but there is something distinctly human about this trail of ancient evidence. Perhaps there is nothing more humanizing than death. Even the Pyramids of Giza, those vast monuments to belief in human immortality, have an aura of grief hanging over them, one of the deeply personal experience of loss and losing. A tomb is a powerfully different space to a grand shrine or cathedral, though they often occupy the same land. | <urn:uuid:7ae9b1bf-f144-4425-b242-55e0566ff946> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.flavorwire.com/572300/supreme-loves-coltrane-beyonces-clothes-and-shadow-of-the-colossus-todays-recommended-reading | 2020-08-10T19:52:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737168.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810175614-20200810205614-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.945716 | 1,146 | [

What You Need to Know about Baby Bottle Blender
Are you thinking about getting a blender for your baby’s formula? Good idea. There are many ways that a formula blender will make things easier for you. Feeding your baby is a joy, of course, but like every task, there are always a few inconveniences that make the task more complicated. Here are some reasons why you should opt for a baby bottle blender, not just any blender!
It can mix formula, cereal, oatmeal, and milk in just fourteen seconds, completely, right inside the bottle. When your baby wakes up hungry and fussy, you can have a meal ready in just seconds, and with the baby bottle blender, you don’t have to worry about some of the formula not being properly mixed. Your baby can become colicky after a bottle because of improperly mixed formula, or too much air intake during feeding can contribute to gas and stomach pain. Waiting for baby to burp up their meal is one of the inconveniences that parents must face.
The award-winning Baby Blendy Bottle reduces sixty percent of the air bubbles created because the formula is blended right in the bottle, and the air vent on the bottom helps to eliminate even more.
Blending the formula, or breast milk right there in the bottle means that there is no transfer of liquid from bottle to bottle, no movement of air, and no shaking of the bottle to move the liquid around. So not only does it take less time, it means that more of the goodness gets to your little one.
A lot of bottles have air vents on the nipple, which means that the baby takes in the air along with the liquid. This bottle vents the air out the bottom, so with the baby bottle blender baby is a lot less gassy.
With a messy and gassy baby, sometimes parents don’t want the hassle of going out during the day with a baby, because there is extra work to do. But, if you have the baby bottle blender on your team, taking care of the baby is much easier. You don’t have to worry about traditional bottle feeding, spit-ups, and fussiness.
This is a very portable, very convenient system. It is a fully rechargeable, completely portable, battery-operated baby bottle blender. You never have to worry about not having power for it. In fact, it works as hard as you do. Just add the formula to the bottle, press the button, and wait fourteen seconds. That’s it. And if all of that isn’t convenient enough, it is also very easy to clean.
Don’t forget; it’s cute! It’s easy to hold onto, has comfort curves and an adorable little spinning monkey as the blending portion! One of the best new things to know about this award-winning baby bottle blender is that, as baby grows, the Blendy bottle can stay part of feeding time because it converts to a sippy cup complete with handles and a sippy spout nipple that will make it just right.
Everyone, from your baby to your doctor, loves the baby bottle blender. It makes feeding time a joy again. | <urn:uuid:3c7a05da-2b0d-4780-852b-d928a14efcf3> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://babyblendybottles.com/blogs/posts/what-you-need-to-know-about-baby-bottle-blender | 2020-08-08T21:06:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.949369 | 659 | [

Online Viewing Rooms Are Creating a Goldmine of User Data on Art Collectors. Here’s How Galleries Are Using It—and How They Could in the Future
Dealers and fairs are beginning to take advantage of information that has long been accessible to other online retailers.
Since the art world’s widespread physical shutdown triggered a flood of online viewing rooms, much of the industry’s attention has been directed toward typical sales reports and heartening progress on price transparency. At this point, we can safely say two things: that business is still being done in the depths of the crisis; and that the average observer has never before had more visibility into the availability of artworks and their costs. These are inherently good things.
The trade’s step into e-commerce also means that another valuable commodity is being exchanged at an unprecedented rate, even when no artworks are being sold: user data. In contrast to decades worth of data-gathering in the auction sector (let alone the larger sphere of online retail), private art dealers have lagged far behind on this front.
But the great data gold rush of 2020 might just lead galleries and fairs into a long-overdue era of quantitative analysis—that is, assuming the transition is handled conscientiously and strategically.
To slash a clear path through this thorny thicket of technological and legal questions, our trusty art business editor has assembled a handy Q&A in plain English (with a dash of good humor) so that even total beginners can get a sense of how to navigate this terrain.
OK egghead, what information can galleries and fairs collect about me right now?
That depends partly on the law in your country of residence, and partly on you.
A growing body of state, national, and international laws restricts companies’ abilities to profile users based on their browsing activity without their consent. The most prominent of these is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). While it is technically an EU law for EU-based companies, any online platform in any country can run afoul of GDPR if that platform violates the rights of an EU citizen—which is why every website in existence had to be retrofit for compliance before the regulation went into force in May 2018.
According to Kenneth Mullen, a partner at the international law firm Withersworldwide, the core purpose of GDPR is to ensure that online retailers “only collect the amount of data needed to fulfill their lawful purposes” via transparent collection practices. Moreover, companies are legally allowed to preserve information about a user only as long as it’s needed. GDPR also prevents retailers from sharing user data with others unless there are “legal safeguards in place to ensure it’s only used for purposes that the customer reasonably expects.”
But that still leaves more wiggle room than you might think.
Which means basically none of us ever reads these things. As a result, we tend to hand websites permission to harvest additional info as eagerly as we would hand our celebrity crushes our phone numbers.
Wait, I’m voluntarily giving out extra data to art dealers? How?
You know that pop-up window asking if you consent to the use of “cookies” whenever you visit a website for the first time? Cookies are files downloaded to your device that hold a tiny amount of info about you and/or the website you’re visiting. The second you blindly click “OK” or “Approve,” you’re agreeing to install “non-essential” cookies that deliver data about your browsing activity to the website owner.
Oh… well, what kind of data do these cookies deliver?
They do things like track users’ movements from page to page on their websites, log which items a user clicks on, and record the amount of time spent on each page. All of this data offers potentially valuable insights into consumer behavior. But the key is that none of it is actually linked to consumers’ identities.
“The purpose of the data is to make correlations,” explains Penny Gillespie, vice president of research at the multinational business-intelligence firm Gartner. Analyzing data “can lead to personalized experiences without knowing the customer, which ultimately leads to greater conversion and even cross-sell and upsell opportunities.” You just have to achieve sufficient scale with the anonymized data first.
Uh, do I have to go to business school, or can you clarify that with an example?
Please allow me to save you two years and about $100,000.
Imagine your website sells women’s clothing, and you’ve had 200,000 potential shoppers search your site with the phrase “black dress.” That almost infinitely variable term may not mean much alone. But based on which search results users actually click on, it becomes clear that what most people intend to find is a black cocktail dress. Based on that data, your engineers can tweak the search algorithm to prioritize black cocktail dresses for any new search for “black dress” going forward.
This is where it gets interesting, as Gillespie shows by continuing the example to its endpoint:
“Over time, I also learn that the intent of the customer is not just to buy a black dress (or even cocktail dress), but rather to buy an ensemble for a wedding or black-tie event. Then, when the customer searches for ‘black dress,’ I show a black cocktail dress in the context of an event (wedding, gala, etc.) and have an opportunity to sell the customer an entire outfit (dress, shoes, bag, jewelry, undies, makeup, etc.).”
So galleries are doing this kind of anonymized trend analysis now?
They’re starting to, often with the help of art fairs or other partners.
According to a spokesperson, Art Basel will provide exhibitors in the June iteration of its online viewing rooms with “basic analytics on the number of page views per room, as well as per artwork, while exploring further possibilities.” Dealers in the inaugural Frieze online viewing room earlier this month received aggregated information on which works in their digital booths received the most views, and for how long.
Similarly, a David Zwirner spokesperson confirms that the gallery has been relaying to the dealers making use of its Platform initiative some overall visitor metrics, including total page views, average time spent on site, and the number of users hailing from each city or country represented. Sotheby’s will also share anonymized data, such as the number of visits and page views, to members of the auction house’s recently launched Gallery Network.
But again, the central point here is that all of this information is nameless and faceless. It only allows dealers to make inferences about which artists and works generally make the strongest first impression (by provoking a click), best sustain viewers’ interest (by extending time spent on each page), and ultimately incite some kind of action (such as an email inquiry or, on Sotheby’s Gallery Network, placing a work under $150,000 in your virtual shopping cart).
Are dealers doing anything more targeted and personalized?
Officially, the answer appears to be “not really,” but the ingredients are in place to change that if and when policies and priorities allow.
Zwirner’s Platform and the Sotheby’s Gallery Network don’t require users to submit any identifying info at all to view the works on offer. But other initiatives do, and that would be the starting point.
Art Basel’s online viewing rooms, for example, are only accessible after users log into their Art Basel accounts, which means putting their first and last names and a valid email address on file. Frieze requires a name, email address, and telephone number (though the number is only used to verify registration); and unlike Platform, Zwirner’s own online exhibitions can only be unlocked by providing an email address, which is relatively standard practice among galleries of all sizes.
This identifying information could empower dealers to begin building individual profiles of users’ tastes based on their browsing activity. But everyone I spoke to for this story emphasized that, in adherence to GDPR and other privacy laws, they are strictly gathering the aggregated (meaning, anonymized) data discussed earlier.
Do galleries ever get data linked to a specific customer?
Pretty much only when users send direct email inquiries about specific works. In Art Basel’s online viewing rooms, users can provide additional data points about themselves (most notably, their VIP status with the fair), but only if they wish. Otherwise, the dealer they reach out to only receives their name and email.
It’s a similar story when visitors to the Frieze online viewing room sign a gallery’s virtual guest book. At that point, their name and registered email are supplied to the dealer in question (who must then only use them in accordance with online privacy regulations). And of course, individual galleries get the same information from direct inquiries on their own in-house platforms.
“Everyone wants to know who the customer is because the experience can be even more personalized,” Gillespie says. But for now, the art market doesn’t appear to be taking the next step by building profiles of specific users, which is the Excalibur of smart online retail.
What would user-specific personalization look like for the online art market?
We can get some clues by leveling up the “black dress” example from earlier. Instead of simply intuiting that an anonymous user is searching for wedding attire and responding with semi-tailored options, a specific customer’s browsing (and buying) history on the same site could be mined to serve up wedding fits from their favorite brands, styles, price points, and more—all in real time, so that the site is further personalized with each new click.
The next logical upgrade is to implement personalization engines that would enable this type of customization for private art dealers. Rather than give every collector the same grid of available works in the same order, or ask them to filter lists of artists themselves, algorithms could automatically sequence online viewing rooms to prioritize specific artists (or types of artists), media, or price ranges according to what each particular user has preferred in the past.
That feature might not seem especially useful in, say, a single small gallery’s viewing room featuring 10 or so works by one artist. But its utility increases dramatically for a mega-gallery showcasing dozens of works by multiple artists at once—and exponentially for an online art fair offering thousands of works by hundreds of artists in dozens of galleries.
Technologically speaking, how far away are we from that future?
General retailers are basically there now. Gillespie has already reviewed case studies for various personalization engines, and says the results are “typically impressive” and generate meaningful return on investment “within months.”
I just can’t tell you whether any dealers, art fairs, or auction houses are seriously exploring the possibilities. Either fittingly or ironically for a story about data permissions, no one I spoke to for this story was particularly keen on getting into specifics about the future. The best I can do is relay that they’re all using both quantitative analysis and good old-fashioned qualitative feedback from customers and exhibitor-partners to enhance their future offerings.
Is data collection and analysis an arena where the biggest, richest players have a huge advantage over the little guys?
Yes and no. According to Gillespie, a stark divide between haves and have-nots used to be the default in the wider retail realm, but now “more sophisticated technology is being brought to the masses.”
Case in point: many retailers long ago opted out of using their own proprietary software to analyze the aggregated data we’ve already discussed. Art Basel uses Google Analytics to dissect the traffic in its online viewing rooms, and given Google’s prominence in the field, I’ll bet you a pallet of exorbitantly priced black-market Clorox wipes that our Swiss friends aren’t the only ones in the private market doing so. Why build something (likely) worse from scratch if you can plug and play a better toolkit from a trusted expert for a reasonable fee?
The same basic calculus appears in personalization engines: individual companies can either try to develop their own tools and unpack the data themselves, or they can pay for third-party technology, expertise, and analysis. Ditto for the types of robust cybersecurity measures needed to safeguard sensitive user data, especially for online viewing rooms linked to an actual payment and fulfillment apparatus. In all cases, just be advised that the results and prices of these services will vary.
That’s a lot to digest. What’s the big takeaway?
Whether we’re talking about the anonymized trend analysis available today, or the real-time personalized experience achievable in the future, online dealers need to collect large amounts of data before it becomes especially useful. Right now, that’s much more achievable for a Frieze or a David Zwirner than it is for a single-location basement gallery hoping to break through online.
Which means that thriving on the frontier of user data still comes down to fundamental questions about who your audience is, how engaged they are with your digital platform, and how long any dealer or fair can stick around to learn from them. Those aren’t new lessons; online viewing rooms and their associated data discoveries just make them newly relevant.

A Brand Strategy is a critical component of your overall Marketing Strategy – but what is a Brand?
Your Brand is essentially how you are perceived in the public eye. Your Brand should guide every major decision that your company, product or service makes.
A great starting point if you are struggling to work out what your Brand is to ask yourself these two simple questions:
- What makes your business different?
- Who are your ideal customers?
Then ask does your current brand reflect that difference and would it be appealing if you put yourself in your ideal ‘customer’s “shoes’?
If you are having difficulty defining who your customers are simply go to Xero, MYOB or whatever accounting software you use and get a list of all your clients over the last 12 months.
Sort them highest to lowest invoice value in the last year and then spend a few hours going through each of them one by one. Once you have gone through 20, you will start to see a pattern emerge. It might be that most of your customers are in this industry, they are in this area. etc. This will give you a starting point.
Creating a “Brand Manifesto”
Your brand manifesto is a declaration of your values, personality and opinions that is simplified into a succinct, inspiring message that can be understood instantaneously.
It should identify your business mission – with a promised level of service and your vision (a statement about how you would like to impact the future).
Your brand manifesto articulates what matters to your brand. It is your driving force and becomes a valuable resource for employees as it serves to unite everyone around a single set of values.
To create a manifesto, you’ll need to describe your brand’s philosophy, This is simply a statement of beliefs and values. One way to approach this is to make a vision board filled with words, pictures, and drawings that resonate with your business.
Ask yourself questions like:
- Why did I want to start a business?
- What motivates me?
- What does success look like for me?
- What does success look like for my customers?
- What does success look like for my employees?
By doing this it might help you see patterns or keywords that stand out. What is most important here is that it is simple to read and that you connect with these words. Your manifesto can be just one line or series of short active statements.
Now that you have the basics, its time to create the components of your Brand strategy including the:
- Value Proposition
- Brand Story
- Brand Personality
- Brand Voice and
- Brand Look
The Value Proposition
When it comes to choosing a product or service, customers have more options at their disposal than ever before.
For your brand to stand out, you need to understand what your business offers that’s different to all those others.
To do this effectively you will need to write a value proposition. A value proposition explains how your product solves problems and improves situations.
It lists the benefits to the customer and sets out why people should buy from you over the competition.
The Brand Story
As humans, one of the ways we build relationships is through the stories we tell, why else do we catch up with our friends right?
In business, this is not so different, you want to create moments between your business and your customers.
Your brand story is as individual as you are, and it needs to tell your audience who you are and why you’re doing what you do.
It is where your manifesto comes to light, giving your audience context for your business and a chance to connect with what is important to you, after all people buy from people.
The Brand Personality
Like a person, your brand is essentially your business’s “personality” – how you are perceived by the world. Buying decisions are both rational and emotional, and a strong brand taps into its customers’ emotions and aspirations.
Think about your Brand’s best traits:
The Brand Voice
Your Brand Personality comes to life through your voice. The language you use, from your voicemail message to your product tags speaks volumes about who you are.
So ask yourself if your Brand was a person, how would they talk and what would they say?
When trying to ensure that every piece of content that your business uses fits the Brand, read the piece yourself and ask does this sound like something this business would traditionally say or do if not then make adjustments.
The Brand Look
Next you need to define what your Brand looks like. Your visual identity is a conception of your Brand/s characteristics and includes your logo, colour palette, typography, and more.
Check out this colour chart below for a basic explanation of what different colours evoke in people who see them.
Brand Consistency is Critical
Like most people great brands have engaging personalities, opinions, and values by which they live.
If you are operating or running a small to medium business chances are you don’t have the sort of funds to push your brand out in the traditional channels like radio and TV, so you need to be extremely clear on what your differences are and what makes you unique.
This is one of the biggest areas where businesses struggle with as there are often multiple managers and/or sales staff out in public selling the product or service and if they were asked what does the business do they’d all come back with different answers.
This is a big problem because if your staff are giving eight different answers as to what the business does there is no consistency in the Brand, so you need to ensure that everyone who goes out as a representative of the business clearly knows the Brand and what the company stands for.
Your Team is critical to your brand
Business is made up of people and it’s people that bring your brand to life every day. So when you define your brand’s personality, also think about how that plays out in behaviour.
By creating an environment where people enjoy their work and understand the wider mission, your employees will become your brand’s most valuable cheerleaders.
It is extremely important to make sure if you are hiring any staff that they share the same vision for the future of the company or share a similar set of values as the business as if you don’t ensure this, prospects and potential clients might be getting mixed messages or the wrong impression of your company.
Your Communication Channels
Now that you have your brand strategy covered, you can bring this to life in all sorts of fun ways and using all kinds of communication channels.
For the best results, be consistent in how you present yourself and your business.
To ensure that you are giving your brand the best chance to get spotted, you should be putting out content on the same channels where your ideal clients are. For example if you were targeting CEOs , then perhaps you should be posting on LinkedIn as thats where a majority they will be.
Some examples of how to use your Brand in these various channels are:
- Websites – Your website is your store window. Make sure yours oozes with your brand identity, from colour and typography to brand voice, and keep it up to date
- Social Media – This can be overwhelming. Choose the one or two channels your audience uses the most and craft a consistent presence there.
- Brand Newsletters – If you intend to share company news, don’t get lost amongst the spam. Temper the marketing tone of your messages by integrating stories about your staff and customers.
- Transactional Emails – These are the ones that directly promote products, promotions and include emails sent to confirm an order or sign up for an account.
- Videos – Videos are a great way to bring your brand to life. They are the perfect vehicle to introduce your products and services
- Business Cards – Your business cards are pocket-sized promotional opportunities. Make sure they include relevant things like social media handles and links to your website.
- Loyalty Cards – As well as encouraging return visits to your store for the price of a free coffee on the 10th visit, loyalty cards often get carried around by your customers – make sure they reflect your brand.
- Postcards – Postcards are a fun way to raise brand awareness. Whether you choose to mail them, add them to your packaging or distribute them at local businesses
- Stationery – Sure, we send them fewer letters these days, but that’s all the more reason to make the ones we do, special. So whether it’s a job offer letter or a note to an investor make sure it looks and feels like your business with a branded letterhead.
- Packaging – In the age of online shopping, the “unboxing” moment is a powerful and emotional experience for customers all around the world.

In Part 2 of his fan chat, The Walking Dead Executive Producer and Writer Robert Kirkman talks about the possibility of Daryl finding romance in Season 4 and shares his thoughts on living life as a zombie.
Q: Can you shed any light into how the Governor’s story will continue…or close in Season 4? —Jeffrey Hawboldt
A: I can say the Governor will certainly be around. But we’ll be seeing him in a new light, and doing some different stuff with him, so it’s not going to be the same Governor in Season 4.
Q: I find it hard to believe the most badass dude in the zombie apocalypse is the only guy not getting laid! Will Daryl ever have a love interest? —Johnny Zimmerman
A: Never say never! I think that it could happen eventually. I wouldn’t want to spoil anything, but Daryl is a complex character and he’s really got a lot of emotional hurdles to get over in his life. It is kind of odd that we haven’t seen him in that kind of romantic light, but I think that adds a layer to the character that makes him a little more mysterious and a little cooler. But I wouldn’t rule out some kind of love interest for him in the future.
Q: At this juncture, the TV show has veered away from the graphic novel series. If you had to choose one of the two universes, which would you say is your favorite? —therunningdead
A: Well, I’m a little biased because I’ve been writing the comics for a decade, but I consider that to be the original. The comic book is where it all came from, so I consider the TV show to be an alternate to what happens in the comics.
Q: How do you decide what information from the comics to keep the same, and what to change? —Erica Britt
A: Well that’s a long process involving all the writers, the showrunner, everybody. It’s really a matter of sitting down at the beginning of the season and working out what happened in the comics and when and how and why, and seeing if it plugs into our world. It’s a pretty organic thing. Also [it’s a chance] to set up things and do comic book moments in ways that I didn’t really do when I was writing the comics — with the benefit of hindsight.
VIDEO: A Look Ahead at The Walking Dead Season 4
Q: Are there any story lines you explored in the TV series that you’ve considered for the comic? — Dani
A: An example is that really great exchange between Hershel and Glenn, where Hershel talks about how you never know who’s the right guy for your daughter until you meet the right guy. It’s really a poignant thing that [Producer] Angela Kang wrote. I never had a moment like that between Glenn and Hershel, and that kind of thing would be nice. But the way these things work, I’m writing issues where — spoiler alert — Glenn and Hershel are dead. So it doesn’t really translate well, unfortunately. It would be nice to mine the great work of these fantastic writers on the show and make my job easier.
Q: When Merle is attracting the walkers to his car to take out the Governor, the first one to approach looks exactly like the iconic zombie from Dawn of the Dead, 1978. Was this a nod to that film? —radio118
A: It was a nod to that walker from Dawn of the Dead — and we had to do it twice. Greg Nicotero is a George Romero alum, and he wanted to do a little nod to Romero, so he made up that walker and put it in a scene. But that scene ended up getting cut, so he did it again to make sure it made it in the show.
Q: Do you ever wish you were a walker? —Amanda Calvert Simpson
A: No, never! Being a walker would be terrible. You smell bad, you’re falling apart, and I’m sure it’s really uncomfortable. But even just from a practical real-world standpoint, those guys are covered in latex and sticky paint and fake blood, and it’s hot in Georgia. I have a tremendous amount of respect for anybody who plays a walker on our show, because it is an extremely difficult job that I will never do because I’m lazy and I don’t like being uncomfortable.Read More | <urn:uuid:459dc3ba-b623-4b76-ab5e-1f50ca2a8c96> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.amc.com/shows/the-walking-dead/talk/2013/04/robert-kirkman-fan-chat-ii | 2020-08-12T13:15:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738892.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812112531-20200812142531-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.965603 | 961 | [

Editor’s note: This article has been edited to correct where Reps. Jonathan Singer and Sonya Jaquez Lewis serve in the Legislature.
Two incidents still fresh in the minds of many made Longmont an appropriate setting for a town hall on the subject of mental illness on Saturday.
After two episodes in 2015 that occurred less than 24 hours apart — including the violent assault on Michelle Wilkins by Dynel Lane — the city made concerted efforts to improve mental health care in the area, pledging to train 2,000 community members in mental health first aid over a period of two years and organizing 10 community conversations in 2016 alone.
Five years later, those conversations are still happening.
The Longmont Public Library filled to capacity Saturday for a town hall hosted by State Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, Rep. Sonya Jaquez Lewis, D-Longmont area, and Sen. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette. The event’s aim was to discuss current mental health problems facing Colorado at the state and local levels, legislation being proposed this year to improve access to treatment, and resources available to those who need help.
A panel of eight mental health care professionals opened the event by introducing their work.
Panelist Phoebe Norton, who represented local clinic Mental Health Partners, described her decades working in mental health care as filled with “many rewards and many challenges.”
Norton was joined by representatives from Supporting Action for Mental Health, Boulder Valley Community Action Network, The National Association of Social Workers, National Alliance on Mental Illness, and the Longmont Police Department.
Singer, who chairs the state House Public Health Care & Human Services Committee, followed the panel. The representative mentioned several mental health care bills that have been passed or are in progress in the House, among them a bill that will provide housing to mentally ill Coloradans released from prison, as well as a bill that would allow for a mental health criminal justice committee to continue in the House.
“We have the greatest challenges. Our suicide rates are some of the top in the nation. Our alcohol and other substance abuse rates are some of the worst in the nation,” he said.
“We have an opportunity now because we’ve recognized these things and we’ve started to de-stigmatize these issues to get us to a point where we can actually become the model for the nation in the services we provide to make sure that we are all better connected, that healthcare, and housing, and criminal justice, and education, and jobs are one conversation happening at one time.”
Singer also introduced Lewis, who spoke about her background as the first pharmaceutical director of Colorado Access. She mentioned two House bills in progress she is sponsoring, one of which would provide training for educators about how to deal with mental illness.
“Colorado has one of the highest teenage suicide rates in the country. We absolutely have to have more resources for mental health. We had a plan for it last year, trying to pass Prop CC,” Democrats’ attempt at chipping away at the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which was soundly defeated in November.
“That would have gotten us more money for education, more money for mental health, some transportation money. So if folks want this, if we want an increase in these resources, we’re going to have to generate funds to do it, because we don’t have any more general funds,” she said.
Then the audience was given the chance to take the microphone.
Izzy TenBrook, a licensed professional counselor, stood and asked Singer if the Mental Health Practitioner Act, an act that requires mental health care professionals to be licensed, would be renewed. TenBrook expressed she feels her job is being threatened by unlicensed mental health care workers who have “no baseline education or ethics code.”
Although Singer responded that “these conversations are some of the most nuanced, most important things we can do, but it’s not what we’re here to talk about today,” TenBrook was followed by most of the licensed professionals in the room wanting to discuss the issue.
“We’re in need of some guidance. Our livelihoods are being threatened,” one called out from the audience.
Others stayed focused on the issue at hand.
A local pastor stepped up and expressed her concern that religious leaders are often uneducated about how to guide those with mental illness. A mother voiced frustration that her daughter who suffers from mental illness was turned down by a local clinic. An emergency room nurse, a volunteer at a homeless shelter, and a few participants living with mental illness were among the attendees who generated the all-inclusive discussion for which Singer had asked.
“When you hear that one out of five people will have a mental health issue in their lives, that means that any politician that doesn’t pay attention to this issue should be doing so at their own peril,” Singer said at the event.
That’s why I decided to focus this town hall on this one issue. I wanted people to understand we’re going to highlight this as a top-tier issue and make sure that, regardless of where you come from, we’re going to make sure you get the help that you need when you need it.” | <urn:uuid:9561a259-0d66-4993-9456-08855960b7c6> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.timescall.com/2020/02/08/longmont-summit-puts-mental-health-front-and-center/ | 2020-08-12T12:59:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738892.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812112531-20200812142531-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.971689 | 1,118 | [

Exploring BrooklynJuly 2, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
After two jam-packed days of sightseeing in Manhattan we decided to have a more relaxed day exploring Brooklyn today - especially in light of our first Amtrak train journey that evening. Our Air BnB hosts were happy for us to leave our suitcases there until the afternoon which gave us extra flexibility (somehow our cases have gotten heavier - I swear I did NOT buy anything on fifth avenue!)
Initially we headed to Brooklyn Heights Promenade- only 15 minutes walk from where we were staying for some spectacular photos of the skyline and Brooklyn Bridge. From there we caught the subway to Coney Island. I have always been curious and it did not disappoint. It was like a hotter, happier and more colourful version of the Blackpool Pleasure Beach (which I LOVE by the way so don't mistake any disdain).
We only had just over an hour to experience the seaside resort and so after a trip on the ferris wheel, a quick rollercoaster ride and a brief sit on the beach and A LOT of photo taking (yet again in my element) we hopped back onto the subway to pick up our cases and continue on our adventure.Read more | <urn:uuid:ee4ab4cc-7415-48bb-b590-994cc479509e> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://findpenguins.com/united-states/travel-blogs-coney-island-44498.html | 2020-08-15T16:52:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740929.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815154632-20200815184632-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.959743 | 255 | [

Why Microservices are so important
Monday, November 7, 2016 by Jim Scott
Having been a software engineer for nearly 20 years I have an appreciation for what is important when it comes to creating great software. One of the most important things that is not well understood by non-engineers is that the development process is equal parts artistry and logic. I see software architecture to be much like artistry.

Airport High School valedictorian Amelia Corne addressed fellow graduates in a commencement speech made available to the Jets community on the district's social media pages.
CARLETON – After months spent practically under lockdown, the Class of 2020 created a newfound appreciation for friends, athletics, clubs — and, yes, even school.
So said Airport High School valedictorian Amelia Corne, who recently addressed fellow graduates in a commencement speech made available to the Jets community on the district’s social media pages.
Like other area schools throughout Monroe County, Airport opted for a modified graduation ceremony, which was held Tuesday night in a “drive-thru” format in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
Although the district initially held out hope for a traditional ceremony, it eventually determined an alternative ceremony would best adhere to student safety and requirements mandated by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, according to Principal Christopher Lukosavich.
“We were definitely dealt a lousy hand when the pandemic struck,” Amelia said in her speech. “But we’ve been able to work within our circumstances to finish high school, and now, have a graduation ceremony, even if it isn’t the one we’ve always pictured.”
The “drive-thru” ceremony was held from 5-8 p.m. on Airport’s campus, with students allowed to arrive at any time during the designated window. Since a traditional ceremony wasn’t permitted, the school chose a weekday ceremony instead of its usual Friday afternoon slot to accommodate student graduation parties and other possible summer scheduling conflicts, Lukosavich said.
Accompanied by family, the graduates entered the campus off Fesner Rd., next to Sterling Elementary School, driving past the high school and looping around the student parking lot.
There were two designated stops on the route; the first for Airport staff to present diplomas to students, and the second for graduates to exit their vehicles, have their names announced over a loudspeaker, walk across an outdoor stage and be presented their diploma jacket by district administration and Board of Education members.
“We completely understand how nerve racking and worrisome this entire process has been but please understand, every decision that has been made has been done so with students’ best interest at heart,” Lukosavich explained. “We did everything in our power to make an in-person ceremony happen and we share in the disappointment that one (couldn’t) happen.”
In some ways, the modified ceremony appeared fitting, as it took students on a tour of the district’s campus, where many memories were made throughout their years as high schoolers.
Students who attended Sterling as elementary students rolled by their first home as a Jet, while all others remembered their time at Wagar Middle School. Athletes passed by The Hanger, along with the high school football stadium and softball field.
For the last time as students, they said goodbye to other iconic areas, like the Jet spirit rock.
“Over time, the number of firsts we experiences were replaced by bittersweet lasts, senior year was the year of our last homecoming, football game, choir concerts, spirit week and more,” Amelia said. “Unfortunately, some of those lasts came unexpectedly, before we were ready for them. But, the truth is, I don’t think we could ever truly be ready for our last day of high school…
“Now that we’ve been in quarantine, we understand how special it was to get to go to school and see our friends every day.”
State Rep. Matthew Koleszar, D-Plymouth, former Airport High School history teacher who was selected by students as keynote speaker before he was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives, still was able to offer remarks by video rather than in-person.
Koleszar applauded the students’ achievements, especially during an unprecedented time for learning, and offered wisdom on the importance of kindness and civil disagreement. He also spoke of sacrifice, an important life skill that the Class of 2020 already has learned through the loss of traditional celebrations such as baseball games, prom and graduation.
“When I was elected to office and earned the opportunity to represent over 90,000 people, I had to make a major sacrifice,” he told students. “I had to sacrifice being your teacher. I want all of you to know that while not a day goes by that I don’t miss being your teacher, and while I’m not in the classroom with you, you are all with me every day in my heart.
“Although I sacrificed that, my experiences with all of you have strengthened me.”
It may not have been the celebration Airport’s graduates had anticipated, but they’ll certainly never forget graduating during a year unlike any other, administration said.
“Your class has gone through and completed high school during some of the most contentious, tumultuous times in our country’s history,” Koleszar said. “You are the class that graduated when everything in our society changed.”
Airport High School’s full “drive-thru” commencement was livestreamed on Facebook. The video, along with all commencement speeches, is available by searching “Airport Community Schools” on Facebook.
Any student who was not able or did not choose to participate in the school’s “drive-thru” ceremony may receive his or her diploma by mail, by emailing [email protected]. | <urn:uuid:9aa1540a-5e2f-4484-bfd3-ea5bde557920> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.monroenews.com/news/20200716/airports-class-of-2020-gets-its-graduation | 2020-08-05T19:50:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735964.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805183003-20200805213003-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.979034 | 1,182 | [

The crusade to find some scandal — any scandal — to sink 2016 Republican presidential frontrunner Scott Walker officially jumped the shark on Monday when a deeply concerned American suggested that the Wisconsin governor’s spokeswomen are problematically attractive.
Isthmus, an alternative weekly newspaper out of Madison, raised the allegation in Tell All, a regular advice column.
“Dear Tell All,” troubled reader Kate Mallet wrote, “I can’t help noticing that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker picks beautiful young women to be the spokespeople for his administration and his campaigns.”
Mallet mentions four dazzling, alluring spokeswomen currently or previously employed by Walker: Laurel Patrick, Alleigh Marré, Jocelyn Webster and Ciara Matthews.
“It reminds me of Fox News, which uses super-sexy women as on-air talent rather than a normal range of women who just happen to be good journalists,” Mallet murmurs. “As with Fox, it’s hard to believe that the most talented females available to fill Walker’s frontline jobs also look like models.” | <urn:uuid:3722bbc9-f282-45b4-9cb4-b35846ae8c9f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.bluegrasspundit.com/2015/03/latest-attack-on-scott-walker-his.html?showComment=1425486883732 | 2020-08-07T10:18:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737172.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807083754-20200807113754-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.924933 | 235 | [

Californians make cage-free hens a state law
California voters approved a measure Tuesday requiring all eggs sold in the state come from cage-free hens by 2022.
Proposition 12 led with 59 percent of the vote with nearly 4 million ballots counted.
Supporters say the measure is a step toward more humane farming practices, while opponents say it doesn't go far enough.
More election coverage:
- California voters reject measure to limit dialysis profits
- California voters OK daylight saving measure
The measure sets new minimum requirements on the sizes of pens that farmers use to house breeding pigs and calves raised for veal, and it bans sales in California of products from hens, calves and pigs raised in other states that do not meet California's standards.
Dubbed the Prevention of Cruelty to Farm Animals Act, Proposition 12 builds on an earlier ballot measure, Proposition 2, that passed in 2008 and banned keeping hens, calves and pigs in tiny cages so cramped they couldn't stand up, lie down or turn around.
That measure took effect in 2015 but lacked specific size requirements and did not apply to out-of-state farmers whose products were sold in California.
Proposition 12 specifies how much floor space farmers need to give each animal.
The measure was sponsored and financed by the Humane Society of the United States, which also backed Proposition 2 and says the upgrade will strengthen the earlier measure and restore California as a leader in the ethical treatment of farm animals.
A decade ago, Proposition 2 was the furthest-reaching law for farm animals in the country. Since then a dozen states have banned or restricted confinement for at least one farm animal. Massachusetts passed a comprehensive measure in 2016 that is similar to Proposition 12.
The measure had the support of several animal welfare groups, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Sierra Club and Center for Food Safety, and a variety of veterinarians and religious organizations.
It requires that, starting in 2020, calves confined for production have at least 43 square feet (4 square meters) of usable floor space, while breeding pigs be given at least 24 square feet (2.2 square meters) of floor space in their pens starting in 2022.
Starting in 2020, egg-laying hens must be been given 1 square foot (0.1 square meter) of floor space each on the way to being cage-free by 2022.
Opponents of the measure include animal welfare activists such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which says Proposition 12 did not go far enough to stop animal cruelty.
Farm groups that opposed the measure, including the National Pork Producers Council, say it will raise costs for farmers and, as a result, prices for consumers.
The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office says Proposition 12 would likely result in an increase in prices for eggs, pork and veal partly because farmers would have to remodel or build new housing for animals.
It could also cost the state as much as $10 million a year to enforce and millions of dollars more a year in lost tax revenues from farm businesses that choose to stop or reduce production because of higher costs, the office said. | <urn:uuid:d08e8fd9-5a17-4b5f-b514-2c50a1f9a2d1> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/2018/11/06/californians-make-cage-free-hens-state-law/1917159002/ | 2020-08-09T03:23:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738380.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809013812-20200809043812-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.958669 | 646 | [

As the healthcare industry continues to undergo transformative change and emphasize improved quality with a lower total cost of care, health systems are making the shift from volume to value. The notion of paying for performance is the industry’s most promising strategy for controlling costs and improving outcomes. There is growing evidence that value-based care leads to better health, better care, and reduced total cost.
Value-based care necessitates a network of engaged, aligned physicians who can focus not just on the patient in front of them but on improving the health of the patient population.
While most health systems are still operating in a primarily fee-for-service environment, value-based care is nudging the half-way mark as more and more payers, and providers shift their contracts away from fee-for-service arrangements, according to the Health Care Transformation Task Force (HCTTF).
Payers and providers are leveraging this trend by appealing to the access and convenience desires of targeted patient groups, focusing on high-cost, high-risk patients and meeting value targets by managing their care. This technique works well in Medicare and is rolling it out in Medicaid. On the flip side, quality outcomes and cultural/behavioral changes are more important in the commercial market since there are fewer high-cost, high-risk patients.
However, the transition to value is a challenging journey, and much work lies ahead. As a result, organizations face challenges around maintaining care delivery uniformity across the health system. Successful value-based care requires that health systems have many new capabilities and structural elements in place.
Additionally, the effort entails addressing variations in care, sometimes among independent physicians, and between different hospitals and other facilities throughout the system. This means they must offer the range of providers and care sites needed to provide patients with access to the right care in the right setting at the right time and the right cost, while also ensuring the patient population is aware of its offerings to prevent patients from seeking care elsewhere.
More than ever, it is becoming crucial to have 24/7 access to a triage nurse to ensure that patients can connect from anywhere, preventing patient leakage and provides appropriate levels of care.
One way to do this is by employing an outsourced telephone triage call center to help with the care transition process. A nurse call center system armed with good data analytics allows you to identify the quality of the clinical call center and improve the efficiency of the nursing staff while helping patients at the same time.
Organizations like TriageLogic provide outsourced telephone triage services to increase access and utilization for patients, ensuring care transitions are smooth and patients receive appropriate care.
Implementing tools like the MyTriageChecklist® ensures the process for evaluating and documenting patient calls is appropriate. Tools like the My 24/7 Healthcare™ mobile app also give patients easy access to your office information and a direct way for providers to communicate with their patients, regardless of location. Having access to this data, analyzing it, and sharing the information with providers improves patient care, while at the same time showing the value of your call center service and saving valuable health care dollars.

The Best Jobs for Every Personality
Find the right job for you!
Most often attributed to Confucius, the saying “Find a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” is easy if your job aligns with your personality. For example, a very social person might love a job as a salesperson, while a shy person might find that job difficult and even disagreeable. Here is a list of nine different personality types and the jobs best suited for each personality.
There are many personality tests that can be taken for entertainment or to help you better label the "what" and "who" of you. Perhaps the most famous is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test. This test—and others like it—ask a series of questions to determine where you fall in 16 different personality levels. Some test will limit the different types to eight and still, others set the differences at four.
Most people see portions of themselves in several of the personality types.
The introvert—a shy person or one who keeps their thoughts private—tend to work best alone or in small groups. Introverts can be very focused. They have strong attention to detail because they enjoy concentrating on one task at a time.
Ideal industries: animal care, museum work, information technology, science.
Ideal jobs: veterinarian, archivist, social media manager, computer programmer, researcher, bookkeeper, accountant, paralegal.
The extrovert—an outgoing or overly express person—enjoys working in large groups and often prefers team assignments. They are typically comfortable speaking in public and leading group activities. They are also multitaskers who works best when juggling a variety of assignments.
Ideal industries: human resources, public relations, sales, health, and wellness.
Ideal jobs: human resources representative, public relations representative, sales manager, real estate agent, physical therapist, EMT, dental hygienist, actor.
The organizer is outgoing, detail-oriented, and practical. Organizers enjoy the community and conventional structure and order in daily life. They enjoy following standard rules and procedures but like to be involved in groups. Organizers enjoy jobs in which they can gather and manage data. They have a desire to remove clutter, which allows them to enjoy tasks ranging from organizing an office to editing an article.
Ideal industries: publishing, administration, finance, hospitality, and tourism.
Ideal jobs: editor, copy editor, office manager, administrative assistant, accountant, payroll clerk.
The artistic person likes to use their hands as well as their minds. They enjoy being creative and innovative in their job. Artists typically do not enjoy conventional work settings, but instead, prefer to work on their own time with limited supervision and a flexible schedule. They prefer to implement their ideas rather than managing or following the ideas of others.
Ideal industries: design, writing, marketing, public relations, theater, music, naturalist and environmentalist.
Ideal jobs: interior designer, product designer, graphic designer, writer, marketing/advertising executive, public relations representative, actor, composer, musician, chef.
A caregiver is a service-oriented person. They enjoy seeing to other peoples’ needs. The caregiver is a “people person,” who enjoys both working alongside others and working for the welfare of others. They are very responsible and reliable and have strong organizational skills.
Ideal industries: medicine, education, social services, administration, human resources, sales.
Ideal jobs: doctor, nurse, nutritionist, speech pathologist, physical therapist, nanny, teacher, social worker, administrative assistant, office manager, human resources professional, retail worker, spiritual leader, event planner.
The enterpriser is a born leader who enjoys the responsibility of mentoring others and building and maintaining teams of people. Enterprisers often like to see projects through from start to finish, but they also understand how and when to delegate tasks to others. They tend to be very self-confident and ambitious.
Ideal industries: academia, business, finance, law, government.
Ideal jobs: professor, corporate executive officer, business coach, mortgage banker, lawyer, judge, politician, teaching.
The analyst enjoys analyzing theories and using their logical reasoning skills. Analysts often enjoy working alone and prefer working on complex problems through to the end. They often hold themselves to high standards and are thus very detail-oriented.
Ideal industries: science, medicine, military, law/law enforcement, business, IT, finance, academia.
Ideal jobs: engineer, doctor, researcher, military leader, lawyer, detective, judge, corporate strategist, business manager, computer programmer, accountant, professor.

Ideal industries: social work, human resources, education, health and wellness, government, art.
Ideal jobs: social worker, counselor, teacher, speech pathologist, holistic health practitioner, physical therapist, massage therapist, politician, photographer, designer, filmmaker, spiritual leader/activist.
The realist enjoys working with facts and achieving tangible results. They enjoy doing and creating rather than strictly thinking and analyzing.

The book, “Truly, Madly, Deadly,” was full of mystery and suspense which made the book enjoyable. The main character, Sawyer Dodd, went through a challenging year of high school with many deaths and anonymous notes in her locker. The best part about the book was when there were many mysterious deaths of Sawyer’s enemies and teachers. It was enjoyable to read about how Sawyer receive clues and struggles to find out who has been scaring her. At some parts of the book turned out to be very boring which made me lose interest in the book. The book is best suited for ages twelve to eighteen. I would rate this book eight out of ten.

Despite calls from the lame duck Obama administration for “review” and “discussion” the construction of the oil pipeline by Energy Transfer Partners continues at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. The brutality against protestor including rubber bullets, fire hoses in sub freezing weather and torture of prisoners also continues.

The military has been using drones in a lethal capacity for over a decade. The current administration has decided to increase the use of drones, and the number of civilian casualties overseas has increased. Drones have been used for the extrajudicial execution of American citizens overseas without trial. Senator Feinstein profits directly from the drone war.
Its that special time of the year when people do the holiday-family thing: food, gifts, reunion, togetherness, movies. Its also a special time of a generation when my family can introduce its youngest member, my cousin, to the magic of the ultimate myth: Star Wars. I saw Star Wars in the theaters as a small child. It was magic.

The London Stock Exchange have published a document entitled “AIM Rules Review”. ShareSoc, including me personally, have criticised the LSE in the past for poor regulation of the AIM market. Many investors view it as a casino because of the numerous problems of fraud, poor disclosures, many delistings or simple bankruptcies in AIM companies. See the ShareSoc campaign page here for more information: https://www.sharesoc.org/campaigns/campaign-improve-aim-market/
As you can see we made a number of recommendations on how to improve the AIM market, and had meetings with AIM management where we put these proposals forward. The LSE regulates the AIM market but their responsibility lies primarily in ensuring the AIM Rulebook is adhered to and that Nomads meet their responsibilities. Other aspects of the market such as market abuse or false accounting are covered by other regulatory bodies, which many private investors do not understand.
So have any of the ShareSoc proposals been covered in the latest document? In summary, yes they have been. Here’s a quick review:
The AIM Rules Review does emphasise the improved recent performance of the AIM market and the fact that the average size of companies listed on it is growing. That has helped to improve the quality of the market.
Vetting new listings. One proposal we made was that new listings should be vetted by an independent panel because many investors considered some of the new listings in the past to be very dubious businesses. They have not taken this up directly but are proposing to formalise the “early notification process”. In addition, they propose to give more guidance to Nomads (whose role it is to perform due diligence on prospective listings) on what they need to take into account. For example, the “good” character of directors or managers, the corporate structure and business model, risky contractual arrangements and “related party” interests. This looks to be one way to tackle past problems, but one suggestion I would make is to add to that list the “regulatory structure and upholding of the rule of law in the countries where the candidate is listed or operates”. For example, it has proved very difficult to pursue fraud in China, and even Greece creates difficulties in that regard.
Free float. One concern they cover is the issue of low free floats which is a concern of some investors. For example, many of the companies that have turned out to be problem ones are those where there is an executive Chairman who holds a majority of the stock (or their close relations or associates do). This gives that person enormous power to prejudice minority shareholders, ignore the views of other board members and ultimately commit major frauds. The LSE’s response on this issue though is simply that the LSE would like to understand the position on new applications and the Nomad’s consideration of it. That surely is open to abuse, but the LSE does ask whether more specific free float rules should be brought in (the LSE document is a public consultation one so you can submit your own comments).
Minimum Fundraising. They also propose the introduction of a minimum fundraising rule and pose some questions on that. This would help to ensure institutional involvement in a company.
Composition of Boards. They mention this, but give no specific suggestions. That is surely an omission when ShareSoc made some specific suggestions in that regard.
Disclosure and Corporate Governance Codes. The document covers the issue that AIM companies can avoid any adherence to a specific corporate governance code. ShareSoc suggested a specific code should be available and applied by all AIM companies. The LSE asks a question on this at least.
Education and Breaches of the AIM Rulebook. The LSE asks how the market, particularly individual investors, can be further educated as to what the LSE can and cannot do. A good question indeed, which I will ponder.
Breaches of the AIM Rules. But one issue we raised with AIM management was the failure to enforce the existing Rules, or penalise and publicise those who break them. Indeed the document spells out how poor this has been by giving some statistics. There were 93 recorded breaches or where “education” was required, but only 16 warning notices or private censures/fines issued on average over the last three years. There were zero public censures apparently. They do ask a question about possibly imposing automatic fines on breaches of the AIM Rules, and invite suggestions for other changes. I will have some, but the basic problem is “self-regulation” and the resulting unwillingness to take tough action. Both firmer rules on penalties and a cultural change is required.
In summary, this Discussion Paper on the AIM Rules is a useful step in the right direction and does appear to tackle some of the issues about AIM that ShareSoc and I raised. It is though only a discussion paper and hence that does not mean necessarily that action will be taken. In some regards it is still quite weak but regrettably AIM management have an uphill battle to get change adopted when many market participants consider everything in the garden is rosy. However, it is surely necessary to improve the reputation of AIM if the market is to attract more listings and reduce the number of complaints from investors.

Players of Dubai 2021 and Al Burkan in action during their NAS Volleyball Championship match on Wednesday.
Mohammed Al Hachdadi and Bisset Yordan proved to be a formidable combination on the opening night of the NAS Volleyball Championship, guiding Surprise to a 3-2 win over a battling Fohood Zabeel.
Moroccan Al Hachdadi, the man of the match, scored a game-high 32 points while Yordan of Cuba contributed 25 points as Surprise cut short Fohood Zabeel’s spirited rally from 0-2 down with a steady performance in the deciding fifth set to edge the opening match of the tournament 25-19, 26-24, 26-28, 16-25, 15-12.
In the second match of the night, Dubai 2021 cruised to a 3-1 (25-20, 22-25, 25-16, 25-20) win over Al Burkan. Cuban Hernandez Ramos led the scoring charts for Dubai 2021 with 25 points, while Yoendri Alvarez, also of Cuba, scored 24 for Al Burkan.
“Leading 2-0, we really made it difficult for ourselves,” said Khamis Esmaeel, the Surprise team owner.
“But thankfully, we got the job done in the end. Now, we just have to put this match behind us, take the positives from it and focus on the next match.”
In the NAS Cricket T10 tournament at Wombats Cricket Ground in Jebel Ali, Hadaf Sporting RAK defeated Mideast Metals by six wickets in a thrilling last ball finish.
Batting first, Mideast Metals put 125 for 4 on the board, thanks to Mian Zar Mohammed’s blazing 28-ball knock of 64 (7x4, 3x6). Hadaf started the chase well, scoring 30 runs from the opening over itself, as M Surjith (39: 18 balls, 1x4, 5x6) and Munawar Ali Khan Mohammed (27 not out: 21b, 2x4, 1x6) added 57 runs from 4.2 overs for the first wicket.
The Ras Al Khaimah team, however, still needed 14 runs for a win as they entered the final over and Mideast metals must have fancied their chances. But Vishak Sasikumar smashed the first two balls of the over by Irfan Ashraf for sixes to put Hadaf within two runs of victory. Though he was dismissed off the third ball and new batsman Godson Louie failed to score off the fourth, two singles from the following two deliveries got the job done for Hadaf.
In the earlier match of the night, DP World cruised to a comfortable 34 run win over The Cricketers Club. Batting first, DP World put 156 for 5, thanks to the blazing start from Sajad Gul (42: 11b, 2x4, 5x6) and Mohammed Rizwan Khan (53: 19b, 3x4, 6x6), who added 83 runs for the opening wicket in a mere four overs.
Mohammed Farhan came in later to smash a 13-ball 36 (3x4, 3x6) and the DP World bowlers then restricted The Cricketers Club to 122 for 6.
Cricket is making its first appearance in the NAS Sports Tournament and Omar Hayat, Director of Wombats, thanked the Organising Committee for accepting the sport into the NAS family in this Year of Tolerance.
“Cricket is a hugely popular sport among the expatriates from South Asia,” said Hayat. “To be part of the NAS Sports Tournament, which is one of the biggest event of its kind in the world, is a matter of pride for us.
“We are proud to be residents of this great nation, which is a symbol of diversity and acceptance, and, as we celebrate the Year of Tolerance in the UAE, we are proud to be a part of the NAS Sports Tournament, and we thank His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Sports Council, for gifting this unique community sports initiative to the nation in the Holy Month of Ramadan.”
Organised by Dubai Sports Council under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Sports Council, the NAS Sports Tournament is the biggest event of its kind in terms of participation and prize money, and has been held every year in the Holy Month of Ramadan since 2013.
The Tournament has seen more than 22,000 athletes take part over the past six seasons and the seventh season, being held under the slogan ‘Limitless Abilities’, will see more than 6,500 participants in action in 13 different events: Futsal, Volleyball, Padel, Fencing, Wheelchair Basketball, Futsal for People with Hearing Disabilities, NAS Night Challenge, the 5km and 10km Run, 75km Cycle Race, 3x3 Basketball, Jiu-Jitsu, Cricket and Snowboarding. There is a prize purse of Dhs6 million on offer for them.
The ninth edition of the Maktoum Bin Rashid Ramadan Football Championship begins at the Dubai Police Club on Friday. 19 teams are taking part in the tournament held in Holy Ramadan since 2011 in the memory of late Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum attended the competitions for individuals at the Nad Al Sheba (NAS) Night Challenge Championship held as part of the NAS Sports Tournament 2019 under the theme ‘Limitless Abilities’ with total prizes exceeding Dhs6 million.
The Nad Al Sheba (NAS) Sports Tournament 2019 will kick off on Wednesday with cricket, volleyball, padel and 3x3 basketball matches taking place across the city at different venues. Surprisingly, the 2017 champions and Foohood Zabeel will get the NAS Volleyball
The International Cricket Council had earlier announced that India will remain the hosts of the 2021 tournament while the postponed 2020 tournament which was to be held in Australia will now take place in 2023. Identifying backup venues is standard practice for any tournament.
Lionel Messi might never have been faced with a more daunting task at Barcelona than engineering a victory against Bayern Munich in Lisbon on Friday.

In my previous job at the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) I spent a lot of time telling researchers that a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a few focus groups thrown in for good measure doesn’t count as a mixed methods impact evaluation. In the course of repeatedly saying that focus groups are not enough, I must have developed an unconscious bias against focus groups, because I was pleasantly surprised by what I learned from a recently published article written by some of my FHI 360 colleagues. In their study, Guest, et al. (2017 gated) use an RCT to compare the performance of individual interviews against focus groups for collecting certain data. This article contributes in two interesting ways: first, by showing the difference in effectiveness for data collection from the two methods; and second, by demonstrating how to fuse substantively-focused and methodological studies into one, allowing us to learn about methods while learning about other stuff.
The set up
The thematic focus of the study was to understand health-seeking behaviors among African American men in Durham, North Carolina. Simply speaking, the objective of collecting data from a sample of these men was to collect as much information as possible about their situations and these behaviors. The researchers defined “as much” in two ways. They were interested in getting a broad range of a responses identifying health problems in the African American community, and they were interested in how much sensitive information might be revealed by participants. So they set up an experiment to test whether individual interviews or focus groups are more effective at eliciting a broad range of responses and unsolicited sensitive information.
They enrolled 350 men in the study with 310 randomly assigned to one of 40 focus groups and the other 40 men to individual interviews. They used the same person to both conduct the interviews and facilitate the focus groups. They used the same data collection instrument, which includes 13 questions, for both the interviews and the focus groups. All the data collection events, as the authors call them, were audio recorded and then transcribed, and the authors used NVivo to analyze the data.
They used a single list-generating question from the instrument to measure the breadth of the responses: “what do you think are the most common health problems in the African American community in Durham?” They coded the sharing of sensitive information based on all responses to all questions. They identified sensitive information as “information about one’s own experience related to topics that are highly personal, taboo, illegal, or socially stigmatized.”
For the question about which method generates a broader range of responses, the authors compare the results on a per-event basis and a per-person basis. On average, each individual interview produced 0.78 unique items (health problems) and each focus group produced 0.80 unique items. Put differently, the 40 interviews yielded 31 items, and the 40 focus groups yielded 32 items. There were a handful of items identified only by one or the other (36 unique items in total). So on a per-event basis, the two methods performed equally. But those 40 focus groups comprised 310 men. So on a per-person basis, the individual interviews produced 0.78 unique items on average, while the focus group produced 0.1. If your goal is to get a big list from brainstorming, running focus groups is not an efficient way to do it!
On the other hand, focus groups performed much better in terms of how often sensitive information was disclosed. Of the ten items identified, two of them were raised only in focus groups with none raised only in interviews. All ten were raised more frequently in the 40 focus groups than in the 40 interviews and for four items, that difference in frequencies is statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). To give you an example, mental illness was raised 15 times in the 40 focus groups and only six times in the 40 individual interviews. (Remember the sensitive information was always unsolicited.)
I initially considered this finding to be counter-intuitive; I expected men to reveal more in private. And Guest, et al.’s literature review shows this finding to run counter to previous studies. But it also makes sense to me that once someone starts sharing personal information, others might feel more comfortable sharing their own personal information. I’d be interested in knowing more about the different patterns of disclosure of sensitive information across the focus groups. The authors also point out that the data collector (interviewer/facilitator) was a Caucasian woman, which could explain the difference in dynamics between a one-on-one interview and a focus group with several African American men.
Learning about methods
At the end of their article, the authors invite other researchers to similarly look for opportunities to conduct studies within studies to learn more about methods. What I find compelling is that this wasn’t just a “what we learned in the process” reflection on methods after conducting a study, but rather a carefully designed evaluation of methods from the beginning. My past experience has been flooded with so many discussions of quantitative vs. qualitative and experimental vs. non-experimental that a study of methods like this one is refreshing! There are other good examples like this one on testing survey length, but too few of them. I hope many researchers accept my colleagues’ invitation to do more research like this.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, the nation’s highest-ranking Republican, on Thursday declined to endorse his party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump, joining a growing number of conservative leaders not supporting the G.O.P. front-runner.
“To be perfectly candid with you, I’m not ready to do that yet,” he told Jake Tapper during a CNN interview. “I’m not there right now. What is required is that we unify this party.” While he said he did not want to “underplay what [Trump] accomplished” by winning the majority of the Republican primary contests, Ryan cautioned that Trump had “inherited something special”: the fabled party of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.
“We do not always nominate a Lincoln and Reagan, but we hope that that person advances the principals of our party and appeals to a wide, vast majority of Americans,” Ryan said.
The Wisconsin congressman added that Trump now had to reach out to the constituencies in the party he had alienated—particularly the activists and die-hard party faithful who have found the billionaire’s heterodox economic platform hard to stomach. “I think conservatives want to know, does he share our values and our principles on limited government, and the proper role of the executive. It's the Constitution. There are a lot of questions that conservatives are going to want answers to, myself included,” he continued.
Asked whether there was something Trump had done to make him pause, Ryan refused to “go back and roll the tape” on all the incidents, presumably because it would take longer than a 10-minute TV hit. “To be the party and climb the final hill and win, we need a standard-bearer that can unify all and all conservatives and the wings of the party and then go to the country with an appealing agenda and that's appealing to the Democrats. We have work to do on the front. The nominee has to lead in that effort.”
When he was sworn in as Speaker at the end of 2015, Ryan became the de facto leader of the G.O.P., and for a time was widely considered a potential party savior who could parachute into a contested convention as an anti-Trump consensus candidate. But alas for the establishment types, Ryan repeatedly shot down such talk, despite teasing America with some serious presidential maneuvering. Clearly, he made the right move by downplaying his interest in presidency, leaving that opportunity open for 2020 or beyond. Withholding his endorsement of Trump, too, is canny, allowing him to maximize what little leverage he has left in race. Whether or not Trump performs the ideological gymnastics necessary to bring his rhetoric in line with Ryan’s, the ambitious young Speaker will have positioned himself once again as the party’s North Star.
Update: 6:00 P.M.: Donald Trump responded to Ryan’s comments in a statement Thursday afternoon, urging the House Speaker to put people ahead of politics: “I am not ready to support Speaker Ryan’s agenda. Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people.” | <urn:uuid:b90fa0c3-2240-42b5-a93f-1529c62a5077> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/05/paul-ryan-says-he-isnt-ready-to-support-donald-trump | 2020-08-04T09:18:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735867.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804073038-20200804103038-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.967554 | 672 | [

The history of cartography is more than 4,000 years old. Man has mapped and documented routes and roads since the beginning of civilisation. Now, in 2020, we have something that was not available when the first maps were created: a vast and immeasurable amount of data. In particular, location data are changing both the way we live and the way we run businesses.
That’s why, in the 21st century, maps have evolved into something much more complex and sophisticated than in the past. This is what the Spanish enterprise CARTO offers. Thanks to a huge geospatial database and spatial analysis capabilities, CARTO provides a tool to visualise data and create dynamic maps through a location intelligence platform.
“CARTO is the world’s leading location intelligence platform, enabling companies to use geospatial data and analysis to make better decisions. Data scientists, developers and data analysts use CARTO to optimise decision making and predict future behaviour through the power of spatial analysis”, explains Spain & Southern Europe Sales Director, Paloma Rudiño.
If maps were important centuries ago, now they have become an essential tool in the fight against Covid-19, to understand how the disease spreads. Many organisations and individuals around the world are using maps to foster awareness, support communication and increase the effectiveness of their response, as CARTO reports. For this reason, it has made the “platform available to public and private sector organisations fighting against the Coronavirus outbreak via grant programs”. This is what CARTO has worked on, before and during the epidemic.
CARTO was born from a particular conjunction of circumstances. “In 2008, a team of experts in computerised biodiversity, analysis and visualisation techniques began to carry out environmental research projects, to understand the evolution of species. Thanks to the popularity of their blog and their professional contacts, they began to work with clients such as NASA and the United Nations”, says Rudiño. Finally, in 2012, they founded CARTO as an official company.
To put it simply, CARTO’s technology allows users to visualise and analyse data on maps and has different use cases. It is useful for geomarketing, logistics optimisation, site planning and territory management. That’s why it’s a versatile platform that can be used in a whole range of sectors – including retail, financial services, smart cities, telecommunications and logistics. For example, “geospatial analyses allow us to identify optimal routes based on traffic data, vehicle type and weather conditions. This reduces costs and time for logistics companies”, says Rudiño.
Today, CARTO’s portfolio of 1,200 high-profile clients, partners and collaborators includes players such as Google and the city of New York, and more than 350,000 users worldwide. Amongst the biggest names, Enel holds a distinctive place because, as they report, it “is not like other companies: they work in an agile way and place their bets on new technologies. Enel is light years ahead of the competition in the adoption of Location Intelligence in Energy Marketing Departments”.
CARTO’s relationship with Enel in Spain began through Endesa in 2016, “with a collaboration with the Digital Market Transformation team, to develop new strategies to maintain both customer base and market leadership. In particular, CARTO’s platform has allowed Endesa to understand not only where its customers are but how to cover the market strategically”, explains Rudiño. This has translated into a noteworthy reduction in the amount of time needed to evaluate key factors in location planning and demand analysis.
Now, all that background work, expertise and technology can be used to battle the Coronavirus.
Maps to understand and fight the Coronavirus
As we touched on before, maps are key to analysing and understanding the spread of diseases such as Covid-19. Data visualisation is of paramount importance to comprehend how people and cities behave in this pandemic, and provides an intuitive and efficient way to inform citizens.
That’s why CARTO is contributing to making its platform available to public and private sector organisations fighting against the Coronavirus.
“At CARTO we offer free licenses for three months to all organisations or individuals who are fighting the Covid-19 contagion. We offer a wide range of datasets from all over the world, which can be accessed through the Data Observatory, our spatial data repository”, adds Rudiño. This can help governments, organisations and companies to take better data-driven decisions.
The response from the spatial mapping community has been amazing, with many grants already approved. In Spain, CARTO has collaborated with the launch of Corona Madrid, “an app that allows people with Covid-19 symptoms to carry out a self-assessment, alleviating the pressure on health institutions”. The company is also working with ZOE in the United Kingdom, “where they are also tracing the symptoms and incidence of Coronavirus using CARTO”.
From Indonesia to the United States, and from the Netherlands to Brazil or Argentina, CARTO is putting the Coronavirus on the map so that, together, we can stop this global pandemic faster, thanks to data. | <urn:uuid:052d64fc-e2cc-41bf-b0b3-04390b9f5c9a> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://startup.enel.com/en/stories/a202005-carto-data-and-maps-to-understand-and-stop-the-coronavirus.html | 2020-08-06T01:49:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735990.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806001745-20200806031745-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.93692 | 1,115 | [

Indian Valuation Standards
(as issued by the ICAI)
I. Formation of the Valuation Standards Board
1. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), recognising the need to have the consistent, uniform and transparent valuation policies and harmonise the diverse practices in use in India, constituted the Valuation Standards Board (VSB) on 28th February, 2017.
2. The composition of the VSB is fairly broad-based and ensures participation of all interest-groups in the standard-setting process. Apart from the elected members of the Council of the ICAI nominated on the VSB, the following are represented on the VSB:
(i) Nominee of the Central Government representing the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on the Council of the ICAI
(ii) Representatives of Industry Associations
(iii) Representative of Central Board of Direct Taxes
(iv) Representative of Reserve Bank of India
(v) Representative from Comptroller and Auditor General of India
(vi) Representative of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India
(vii) Representative of Securities and Exchange Board of India
(viii) Representatives of Academic Institutions
(ix) Representative of Indian Banks Association
(x) Eminent Professionals co-opted by the ICAI
(xi) Representative(s) of any other body, as considered appropriate by the ICAI
II. Objectives and Functions of the Valuation Standards Board
3. The following are the objectives of the Valuation Standards Board:
(i) To identify and suggest areas in which Valuation Standards need to be developed.
(ii) To formulate Valuation Standards with a view to assisting the Council of the ICAI in evolving and establishing Valuation Standards in India.
(iii) To engage with ICAI Registered Valuers Organisation for adoption of Valuation Standards formulated by ICAI.
(iv) To examine the extent upto which, ICAI Valuation Standards are to be aligned with globally accepted valuation practices and policies.
(v) To review, at regular intervals, the Valuation Standards, to keep abreast of statutory, technological or other developments and , if necessary, revise the same.
(vi) To provide, from time to time, interpretations and guidance on Valuation Standards.
(vii) To proactively interact with other national and international bodies engaged in the standard-setting process, inter alia by sending comments on various consultative papers like Exposure Drafts, Discussion Papers etc., issued by them.
(viii) To carry out such other functions relating to valuation and Valuation Standards.
4. The main function of the VSB is to formulate Valuation Standards to be recommended by ICAI to Registered Valuers Organisations in India, the Government and other regulatory bodies in India and abroad for adoption and implementation. While formulating the Valuation Standards, the VSB will take into consideration the applicable laws, customs, usages and business environment prevailing in India.
5. The VSB has also been entrusted with the responsibility of propagating the Valuation Standards and of persuading the concerned parties to adopt them in the preparation of valuation reports. The VSB will provide interpretations and guidance on issues arising from Valuation Standards. The VSB will also review the Valuation Standards at periodical intervals and, if necessary, revise the same.
III. Valuation Reports
6. While performing its function, the VSB will keep in view the purposes and limitations of valuation reports and the responsibilities of valuer. At the time of formulation of the Valuation Standards, the VSB will make possible efforts to explain the basic concept to which valuation principles should be oriented and state the valuation principles to which the practices and procedures should conform. The VSB will clarify the terms commonly used in valuation reports and suggest improvements in the terminology wherever necessary.
7. The responsibility for the preparation of valuation report in compliance with the Valuation Standards and for adequate disclosure of information that supports the conclusion is that of the valuer.
IV. Scope of Valuation Standards
8. The objective of issuing the Valuation Standards is to standardise the various principles, practices and procedures followed by registered valuers and other valuation professionals in valuation of assets, liabilities or a business. The Valuation Standards set out concepts, principles and procedures which are generally accepted internationally having regard to legal framework and practices prevalent in India.
9. The Standards will provide a benchmark to the professionals to ensure uniformity in approach and quality of valuation output.
10. Efforts will be made to ensure that the Valuation Standards are in conformity with the provisions of the applicable laws, customs and usages in India. In case of deviations, the provisions of the law will prevail and the valuation report should be prepared in conformity with such law.
11. The Valuation Standards by their very nature cannot and do not override the local regulations which govern the preparation of valuation report in the country. However, the government may determine the extent of disclosure to be made in the valuation report.
12. The Valuation Standards are intended to apply only to items which are material.
13. Any limitations with regard to the applicability of a Valuation Standard and the date from which a particular Standard will come into effect will be specified in the respective Standard.
14. The Standards issued by ICAI include paragraphs in bold type and plain type, which have equal authority. Paragraphs in bold type indicate the main principles. An individual Standard should be read in the context of the objective stated in that Standard, this Preface & Framework for the preparation of valuation report.
V. Procedure for Issuing a Valuation Standard
Broadly, the following procedure is adopted for formulating Valuation Standards:
15. The VSB determines the broad areas in which Valuation Standards need to be formulated and the priority in regard to the selection thereof.
16. In the preparation of Valuation Standards, the VSB will be assisted by Study Groups constituted to consider specific subjects. In the formation of Study Groups, provision will be made for wider participation by the members of the Institute and others. Based on the findings of the Study Group(s), Draft of the proposed Standard will be prepared.
17. The Draft of the proposed Standard will normally include the following:
(a) Objective of the Standard;
(b) Scope of the Standard including limitations with regard to its applicability;
(c) Significant Elements;
(d) Principles and important considerations;
(e) The date from which the Valuation Standards will become effective;
(f) Any other necessary aspects.
18. The VSB will consider the draft and based on findings, an Exposure Draft of the proposed Standard will be issued for comments by the members of the Institute and the public.
19. After taking into consideration the comments received, the draft of the proposed Standard will be finalised by the VSB and submitted to the Council of the ICAI.
20. The Council of the ICAI will consider the final draft of the proposed Standard, and approve the same with or without modifications as appropriate.
21. The procedure followed for formulation of a new Valuation Standard, as detailed above, will also be followed for any revision thereof.

In recent years, there has been a large rise in the number of children and adolescents who are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in the United States. Yet, little is known about the incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among children with Type 2 DM, how it compares with the incidence of retinopathy in children with Type 1 DM, and factors affecting the risk of developing retinopathy in youth with DM.
We reviewed health care claims database records to identify all children and adolescents age ≤ 21 years who were newly diagnosed with DM and underwent at least one eye exam by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. A previously validated algorithm was applied to characterize each youth with Type 1 or Type 2 DM. Next, we identified the children and adolescents who developed diabetic retinopathy based on ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to depict the time from first DM diagnosis to first record of DR. Cox proportional hazard regression modelling was performed to identify sociodemographic factors associated with an increase in the hazard of developing diabetic retinopathy.
Among the 2457 eligible youth with newly-diagnosed Type 1 DM and 1673 youth with Type 2 DM, 275 (6.7%) developed retinopathy. The proportion of youth with Type 1 DM and Type 2 DM who developed retinopathy was 9.2%, and 2.9 %, respectively. The incidence of DR was 25.8 and 8.9 per 1000 person-years among youth with Type 1 and Type 2 DM, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that Type 1 diabetics developed DR faster than Type 2 diabetics (P<0.0001, Log-Rank test). Children and adolescents with Type 1 DM had a 322% increased hazard of developing DR compared to Type 2 diabetics (HR 4.22, 95% CI 2.98-5.99). Male youth had a 29% increased hazard of developing DR compared to female youth (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.00-1.65). For each one-year increase in age at time of initial DM diagnosis, the hazard for developing DR increased by 7.7% (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.05-1.10). There was no association of race, household net worth, or year of diabetes diagnosis with retinopathy development (p>0.05 for all comparisons).
Youth with Type 1 and 2 DM exhibit significant risk of retinopathy and should undergo regular screenings by eye care professionals to check for retinopathy, especially those diagnosed with DM at older ages.

Microsoft Disses Da Docs
A Microsoft Office official Andrew Kisslo may be the Dennis Miller of software (without Miller's obscure and inane references to Boswell). Kisslo blogged about the Google Docs upgrade, ridiculing exciting new features such as being able to move spreadsheet columns and have a margin ruler in a word processor (a feature that seems to have disappeared, at least as a default, in Word 2007).
Kisslo also warns that old Google documents and files may not work with the new Google Docs.
If Kisslo ever leaves Microsoft, he has a great career waiting for him doing standup in the Catskills!
I walked out of a Dennis Miller show after his third Boswell reference. Am I wrong or is Miller the most pretentious comedian ever? You tell me at [email protected]

1000 Series Standard
STEEL PIPE RACK
When we set out to design the toughest Rack on the market in 1986, we went straight to the heart of the matter; our American steel is counted among the most rigid metals, providing reliable support for whatever you throw at it. Built in America, the steel pipe construction of our Racks is designed to naturally flex without cracking or breaking, even under the weightiest cargo.
Our 1000 Series Standard Racks were engineered with hand-loaded construction materials in mind, with the Fully Welded one-piece design providing maximum strength while reducing install time and delivering one of the quietest rides on the market. Engineered for unmatched stability, our Standard Rack provides a versatile and efficient solution for any material you need to haul.
We know performance is all in the details, so we’ve custom designed every Rack for Make, Model and Year-specific fitting. Whether you have a standard cab, extended or crew, short bed, long bed – we’ve designed a Rack for you.
RACK-IT 1000 SERIES RACK FEATURES
Each Rack is custom built for your specific truck’s Make, Model, Year and designed to the optimal length for your cab, allowing for optimal storage and reduction of wind noise.
Fully welded one-piece construction creates a singular unit support cage over the cargo and cab, providing support for supplies and protection in the event of an accident.
We use only American steel, durable and thicker than our competitors. It resists bending, denting and flexing.
Full-length formed angle iron mounting provides unmatched structural support and helps distribute weight evenly on your truck’s bed rail. See our Mega Clamp video below to learn about installation without drill mounting.
We’ve included a removable rear bar for versatility. Quick release ring pins make it easy to remove, so even taller loads won’t stand in your way. The bar is fully welded and is designed to safely support the rear structure of the two main tube rails.
We've built our Racks with hooks for ratchet tie-downs and ropes: the solid steel rope hook is fully welded to each of the steel uprights for ultimate strength in safely securing your load.
Eastern Region Racks are powder coated, Western Regional Racks are painted stock with powder coat available for additional cost.
Double weld-in gussets at each cross bar and cab overhang provide maximum structural integrity, creating an even stronger frame resistant to snapping.
Our signature Candy-Cane rounded endpoints protect your materials and make it easier to slide and load large pieces – all while adding style to the Rack.
Upgrade your look with an optional powder coat finish. Offered in gloss black, textured matte black, silver and white. Additional custom colors available on request.
Our Mega Clamp accessory item provides an installation option with no drill mounting required.

Shetland ponies are a breed of miniature horses that are native to Scotland. Their name comes from the Shetland Isles, a collection of Scottish islands where they originated. Shetland ponies have been used for agriculture for thousands of years, first being used to pull carts and then being shipped to the mainland to be used as “pit ponies”. Pit ponies were enlisted during the Industrial Revolution to cart coal around the mines after the British mines Act prohibited the use of women and children as mine labourers in 1842. Nowadays, Shetland ponies are predominately ridden by children in horse shows and riding schools. They are also sometimes used as guide horses to accompany the blind. Green Olive at Red Hill’s major charity, Riding for the Disabled Mornington Peninsula, works with horses and Shetland ponies to improve the lives of those effected by disabilities.
Our Shetland pony’s name is Gracie and she is 20 years old. Gracie joined our family in 2008 when she was gifted to our children, Sam and Sophie, as a surprise Christmas present. Our children and many others rode Gracie when she was a young girl but now she prefers being fed carrots and being brushed by the children who visit her. Gracie loves her food and her best mates are Pisa and Baci who are always by her side in the paddock. The Maremma dogs are a similar size to Gracie so they all feel at home when playing together in the paddock.Gracie, like all Shetland ponies, is very cheeky and can even open gates when she wants to reach the greener grass in the other paddock! Kids can meet Gracie at our Meet the Animals activities during the school holidays! | <urn:uuid:3854a4d2-d849-40de-a99d-0c18fb400655> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.greenolive.com.au/blog/post/shetland-pony | 2020-08-12T20:50:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738944.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812200445-20200812230445-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.969626 | 355 | [
