We are four weeks away from the start of the BYU Football season.
We are four weeks away! Yesterday was the first official day of practicing for the team and there were a few takeaways already. Neil Pau’u who pleaded guilty to a DUI earlier this summer will be redshirting this season, however he will not be kicked off the team. Also, there are a few new faces in different positions such as Kavika Fonua who has moved from running back to inside linebacker.
The most interesting part was Zach Wilson. Although nobody has said where he is on his recovery, he looked sharp and ready for playing. His passes seemed strong and accurate from what was released, however it is unlikely he will be asked to run the ball very much to start off the season.
Yesterday didn’t feature any live tackling or pads so we are still waiting to see how physical Kalani is going to let the team get before the first game.
Today’s player in the countdown is a defensive end who to this day holds the BYU record in sacks in a season. | <urn:uuid:3c8702f1-6b73-407f-8184-b2425e578487> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://lawlessrepublic.com/2019/08/01/byu-football-countdown-player-28/ | 2020-08-04T13:34:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735867.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804131928-20200804161928-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.988547 | 223 | [

Table lamp 35 cm diameter Half series 6748-6749-6750
design Francesc Rifé
MLN Half 6748-6749-6750
collection, designed by Francesc Rifé for , performs new choreographies of light,
dancing in the air and rotating on itself.
Half has become a tool for describing a cosmic journey, providing profoundly moving
impressions. We travel with it along the most emotive
minimalist lines adopting a simple, flexible, versatile language, down a long path of possibilities, heights and positions. Like the moon, it can turn on itself at the same time as it rotates around the Earth, controlling its light and its shadows. It seems to continually change shape but this perception is just the angles from which you see the illuminated part of its surface. From its brightest to its darkest expression, these are reflected in a perfect circle that combines the translucency of the glass with the opacity of the metal, seeking a constant connection
between light and movement.
Sphere of 350 mm diameter, formed by two hemispheres: bases stamped in steel with finishes in lacquered matte black ( RAL 9005 ), lacquered mink ( NCS S 2005-Y10R) and lacquered olive grey ( RAL 6006), an diffusing screen made of satin opal acid-etched blown glass.
Black electrical cable, 3 meters long.
Marble base has a neodymium magnet that helps to fit the metallic part of the sphere.

The tobacco/vanilla/rum/cinnamon harmony of this fragrance is spellbinding.
It tantalises the most discerning senses by playing off each of its facets – leather, animal and the woody note of vanilla – one by one. Recklessly bold… and stirring. Deeply buried emotions and passions take over. The fragrance lifts the veil on the unsayable.
This passionate perfume has the power to plunge its wearer into that altered state where nothing is too daring because there are no risks left.Purchase from £185.38 | <urn:uuid:89599c4e-d559-40d2-8c9a-ac7bcd237752> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.beautytheshop.com/uk/luxury-perfumes/initio | 2020-08-10T15:51:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439736057.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810145103-20200810175103-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.927286 | 110 | [

Following an initial supply chain slowdown when its Chinese partners dealt with the novel coronavirus impact, LED lighting company Energy Focus is seeing its supplies from Chinese factories ramp back up, the company’s CFO said this week.
The outbreak "has been more of a deferral, a timing impact," CFO Tod Nestor said in a CFO Thought Leader podcast. "It hasn’t ceased shipments, or any of that. We did contingency planning, and moved some production to other countries. We’ve found [China was] able to get their factories back up and running through a very robust certification process. [There was] nothing permanent or long-term on the supply side."
Nestor joined Solon, Ohio-based Energy Focus last summer after heading up finance operations at New Hampshire-based Alumni Ventures Group and, before that, Merchants Automotive Group.
The company, which released its 2019 year-end results Thursday, had net sales of $12.7 million. The company supplies LED lighting products to the U.S. Navy and other clients, including health care companies and universities.
Nestor said he expects to face more timing issues with suppliers in other countries, and he's not sure how the outbreak will impact the company’s manufacturing operations at its U.S. facility.
"Clearly, we don’t understand the impact of that yet," he said. "Each area of the U.S. is dealing with this differently and it’s real-time."
Impact on demand
The bigger concern right now, he said, is the psychology of the company’s customer base. "What does this do to the psyche of the buyer?" he said.
In its year-end report, the company says it’s starting to see customers pull back slightly. "We have not seen opportunities lost due to COVID-19, but have started to see some customer lighting retrofit projects being put on hold or postponed," the report said. "Our near-term sales, mainly those from commercial sectors, could be adversely affected if the current, dramatic slowdown of economic activities continues over an extended period."
In addition, potential government regulation mandates "could temporarily cause logistics bottlenecks or cease our production operation, and increase the cost of or prevent us from making or shipping products to customers," the company said.
Operationally, Nestor said he and the company’s other executives have developed a plan to let employees who can work from home do so. Those who work on the manufacturing side at the company’s Ohio facility will continue to work on site, with protective measures in place, but those who are uncomfortable with coming onsite will not be required to do so.
"We have [employees] who have to be here, because we manufacture and we ship," he said. "If we keep the business open, we have to do that. While we can, we will, unless there’s a mandate by the government that everything needs to shut down and people are locked down. If employees are uncomfortable with coming in, we’ll give them the option not to. I don’t want to place our colleagues in a position where they feel really uncomfortable."
In its year-end report, the company says it has implemented strict sanitary and disinfection measures for its production facility.
Nestor said he and the company’s other leaders have made it a point to base all of their decisions on a carefully thought-through contingency plan and are leaving gut-level reactions out of it.
"For us, we’re going to remain calm. We’re going to be leaders. We’re going to be thoughtful about our associates and our colleagues," he said. "We want to make sure it works for everybody." | <urn:uuid:cd3d6d6d-4d5a-4b7e-bbaa-19b09d90679a> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.cfodive.com/news/coronavirus-impact-limited-to-timing-issues-so-far-led-company-cfo-says/574484/ | 2020-08-10T16:25:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439736057.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810145103-20200810175103-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.970996 | 795 | [

“Noise is a killer.It kills people,insects,animals,birds and all other living things.It also kills the beautiful silence.Paradoxically there is no such thing as Silence in this universe.True Silence is a myth .It does not exist anywhere in the universe ,not even in Blackhole. People are losing their hearing because continuous exposure to loud noises in homes,streets,schools,colleges,public places,airports and so on.
As we know humans are capable of hearing sound ranging from 20Hz to 20000Hz and beyond or below which we are unable to hear it.The Uncontrolled noises around us may not kill instantly but in long haul it is sure kills us.These noises start from home and goes on to every part and parcel of our life and society.There is an urgent need to control these noises spreading throughout our society before it kills every one of us.
More systematic approaches has to be undertaken to reduce or eradicate this invisible threat to our society”.Thus ended my one hour presentation on “Noise and it’s effect on our way of life” in State-level science seminar held in our school.
I believe in what I said in my presentation about noise.Unlike everybody else who are unaware of the noises around them,I am different and sensitive to them.It always bring nightmares to me. That’s why I prefer silent library to noisy classrooms,silent science lab to noisy playground ,long silent route to noisy short route and silent corner room to noisy hall room. Well preference doesn’t matter when you fall from grace of money.My parents were able to afford my costly treatment before they went from rich to rag.
Now they blame each other,me,neighbours,apartment secretary,watchmen,security guard and every living-nonliving thing around them.To sum of our situation ,there is no nobody in our life.Nobody comes to house anymore.
Now when I reach my home,I freshen myself and change to my evening dress.It was really very calm and relaxing like it was for last ten days from my 16th birthday.There was no birthday party anymore for me.So it was surprise for my parents when I asked for large-size deep freezer as birthday gift.You know Natron right?.A naturally occurring salt containing sodium carbonate,sodium bicarbonate,sodium chloride and sodium sulfate.This natron was used by ancient Egyptians for mummification of their people for over 2000 years. It is really a hard process guys,trust me.My parents are not pharaohs but I have to do what I have to do.I can’t justify that I silenced them because they were fighting on my birthday too.Now my home is very silent and I wish the same to the world.A wise man once said “Home is the starting point for everything”.I think this is my starting point. | <urn:uuid:1dcb0252-e33d-45da-9138-f5e1d0f10277> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://arhaaths.co.in/tale-of-short-stories/a-silent-killer-noise-will-kill-you/ | 2020-08-11T09:07:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738746.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811090050-20200811120050-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.959281 | 617 | [

In his own way of saying goodbye to the ultra-popular drama “Descendants of the Sun,” actor Gabriel Dye (known in Korea simply as Gabe) has revealed some behind the scenes stills!
Gabriel Dye, who played the arms dealers’ second-in-command, shared three snapshots from the set of the drama to his personal Instagram account on April 16. In the first shot, Song Joong Ki stares the camera down with a gun in hand, where Gabriel Dye writes, “On set last October in Greece. Right before Big Boss shot the tire.”
In the second shot, he jokes about his character’s death alongside main villain Argus, posing with Argus’ actor David Lee McInnis. He writes, “Two bad guys, shot to death. May you rest in peace, bro.”
The last still is simply a group shot with Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo. Though Song Hye Kyo sports a (fake!) bloodied lip, she is all smiles alongside her fellow actors.
Meanwhile, “Descendants of the Sun” will air three special episodes this week as part of a wrap-up special. | <urn:uuid:395440ea-6d7e-4611-9ebf-a9db2d28febf> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://kissasian.is/descendants-of-the-sun-actor-shares-behind-the-scenes-photos.html | 2020-08-11T09:50:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738746.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811090050-20200811120050-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.957432 | 255 | [

A successful, wealthy businessman, Wesley Deeds (Tyler Perry) has always done what’s expected of him, whether it’s assuming the helm of his father’s company, tolerating his brother’s misbehavior at the office or planning to marry his beautiful but restless fiancee, Natalie (Gabrielle Union). But Wesley is jolted out of his predictable routine when he meets Lindsey (Thandie Newton), a down-on-her-luck single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building.
When he offers to help her get back on her feet, the chance encounter with someone so far outside his usual circle ignites something in Wesley. This one good deed may finally spark his courage to exchange the life that’s expected of him for the life he’s always really wanted.

“The new Elcometer 130 SSP doesn’t just measure the level of soluble salts”
In addition to soluble salt levels (cleanliness) or conductivity, the Elcometer 130 SSP carries out a detailed analysis of the test area – providing an accurate salt density profile map, pinpointing areas of high contamination outside user defined limits.
“Accurate in all environments”
This new, easy to use, Elcometer 130 SSP has automatic temperature compensation ensuring accuracy in all climatic conditions. Impure water can be offset for accurate and repeatable readings.
“Each gauge is designed to last”

Predictors of Work Ability in Individuals With a Common Mental Disorder: Is There an Effect of Metacognitive Beliefs Among Poor Physical Health and Emotional Distress?
Purpose Work ability is a prospective predictor of sick leave, disability pension and unemployment, and has been defined as the balance between human resources and the demands of work, taking into consideration that illness is not equivalent to work disability. In the present study we set out to explore predictors of work ability in a sample of individuals with common mental disorders. In particular, we were interested in exploring metacognitive beliefs as a potential predictor of work ability, as Wells' (2009) metacognitive model of psychological disorder suggests that metacognitions may be an underlying factor in psychological vulnerability generally, and they have been associated with work status in previous studies. Methods One hundred and seventy-seven individuals participated in an online survey and completed a battery of self-report questionnaires. Results Several factors correlated with reduced work ability: physical disorders, emotional distress symptoms and metacognitive beliefs. We found that confidence in memory predicted work ability even when controlling for gender/age, number of physical disorders, and levels of anxiety and depression symptoms. Conclusions This finding suggest that metacognitions of poor memory performance are associated with low work ability among those with common mental disorders, and implies that these should be targeted in treatment with a view to increasing work ability and thus potentially facilitate return to work.

Motivation for return to work and actual return to work among people on long-term sick leave due to pain syndrome or mental health conditions
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between motivation for return to work and actual return to work, or increased employability among people on long-term sick leave. Methods Data by responses to questionnaires was collected from 227 people on long-term sick leave (mean = 7.9 years) due to pain syndrome or mild to moderate mental health conditions who had participated in a vocational rehabilitation intervention. The participants' motivation for return to work was measured at baseline. At 12-month follow-up, change in the type of reimbursement between baseline and at present was assessed and used to categorise outcomes as: "decreased work and employability", "unchanged", "increased employability", and "increased work". Associations between baseline motivation and return to work outcome were analysed using logistic and multinomial regression models. Results Motivation for return to work at baseline was associated with return to work or increased employability at 12-month follow-up in the logistic regression model adjusting for potential confounders (OR 2.44, 95% CI 1.25–4.78). Conclusions The results suggest that motivation for return to work at baseline was associated with actual chances of return to work or increased employability in people on long-term sick leave due to pain syndrome or mild to moderate mental health conditions. High motivation for return to work seems to increase the chances of actual return to work or increased employability in people on sick leave due to pain syndrome or mild to moderate mental health conditions. The potential impact of motivation for return to work is suggested to be highlighted in vocational rehabilitation. Rehabilitation professionals are recommended to recognise and take into consideration the patient's stated motivation for return to work. Rehabilitation professionals should be aware of that the patient's motivation for return to work might have an impact on the outcome of vocational rehabilitation.

Returning to work after sickness absence due to common mental disorders: study design and baseline findings from an 18 months mixed methods follow-up study in Germany
Purpose With nearly 30 % of the general population experiencing one mental disorder in 12 months, common mental disorders (CMDs) are highly prevalent in Germany and mainly affect the workforce. Therefore, the processes of successfully returning to work (RTW) and achieving a sustainable RTW (SRTW) are important not only for recovery but the prevention of negative consequences like job loss or disability retirement. While factors influencing and predicting the time until RTW are well-investigated in other countries, research on determinants of RTW and SRTW has received little attention in Germany. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the RTW and SRTW processes due to CMDs from the employees´ perspective in Germany. Methods This prospective cohort study uses a convergent parallel mixed methods design with a quantitative sample and qualitative sub-sample. Results Two hundred eighty-six participants of the quantitative study and a sub-sample of 32 participants of the qualitative study were included. The primary outcome of the quantitative study is the time until RTW and full RTW. The secondary outcome is the sustainability of RTW. The following measures will be used to cover work-, RTW- and health-related factors: working time, duration of sickness absences, functional ability, work ability, RTW self-efficacy, social support, work-privacy conflict, job satisfaction, job crafting and depressive symptoms. Quantitative and qualitative data will be integrated at the end. Conclusions The paper provides an overview on study design, recruitment, sample characteristics and baseline findings of an 18 months mixed methods follow-up study in Germany. This study will provide evidence of (S)RTW processes and its influencing factors due to CMDs in Germany and therefore contribute to further improvement of its (S)RTW practices.

Number of Previous Absences Is a Predictor of Sustained Attendance after Return to Work in Workers With Absence due to Common Mental Disorders: A Cohort 3-year Study
Purpose This study evaluated the relationship of the number of previous episodes due to common mental disorders (CMDs) with long-term outcomes and sustainability of attendance after return-to-work (RTW). Methods Participants were assigned to the following three groups: workers having one (Group 1), two (Group 2), and three or more (Group 3) previous episodes. Outcomes were a recurrent absence and the sustainability rate of attendance after RTW. Results The sustainability rate in Group 1 was significantly higher than that in Group 3 throughout the observation period. The sustainability rates for Group 2 were significantly higher than for Group 3 at 30 and 36 months. Conclusions The number of previous episodes was shown to affect sustainability of attendance after RTW due to CMDs, indicating that repeated previous absences are a significant prognostic factor.

Employers' beliefs, knowledge and strategies used in providing support to employees with mental health problems
Purpose Mental health problems are the main cause of sick leave in today's working age population. Employers are responsible for their employees' work environment and preventing work-related illnesses, but their knowledge regarding mental health problems is lacking. Employer beliefs and support strategies need further exploration. Objective To explore employers' beliefs, knowledge and strategies use in providing support to employees with mental health problems. Methods This grounded theory study comprised 24 interviews with employers in a variety of workplaces, and included women and men in large and small organizations in a Swedish context. Results Two categories related to the aims emerged: comprehending mental health problems is complex, and lacking established conditions to support work. The results show that employers seek to support employees with mental health problems but have low expectations and lack knowledge and strategies. Employers acknowledged experiences of inadequate support and collaboration from other actors in the return-to-work (RTW) process. Conclusions To close the service gap and improve the RTW process, employers need to increase their mental health literacy. Other actors need to improve their understanding of employer situations and provide them with necessary support.

Exploring the service and knowledge gap between rehabilitation professionals and employers in the return-to-work process of people with mental health problems in Sweden
Purpose Research is needed on how to optimize the return-to-work process for persons with mental health problems. Objective To develop a model that explains how employer and rehabilitation professional mental health literacy may influence strategies used in the return-to-work of persons with mental health problems. Methods A grounded theory study design was used to collect and analyse interview data from 23 employers and 22 rehabilitation professionals. Results The analysis resulted in four categories, illustrated in a conceptual process model: 1) seeing mental health problems through past experiences; 2) separating understandable and incomprehensible mental health problems; 3) balancing safeguarding one's personal interest with providing adequate support; and 4) facing conflicts and uncertainty in employee/service user return-to-work. A positional map of employer/rehabilitation types was created based on level of negative attitudes and uncertainty in supporting employees/service users and the employer in relation to the level of comprehensive understanding of mental health problems. Conclusions Professional mental health literacy needs to be increased. Interventions need to be developed that provide employers with targeted support and knowledge in mental health literacy. Education on how to prevent and detect common mental health problems in the workplace is needed.

Work-directed rehabilitation or physical activity to support work ability and mental health in common mental disorders: a pilot randomized controlled trial
PurposeTo evaluate feasibility and potential effectiveness of work-directed rehabilitation in people with common mental disorders. Design Pilot randomized controlled trial. Setting Primary healthcare, Sweden. Subjects Working adults (n = 42) of mean age 46.2 ± 11.1 years with depression or anxiety disorder. Interventions Eight weeks of work-directed rehabilitation (n = 21) or physical activity (n = 21). Work-directed rehabilitation included sessions with a physiotherapist and/or an occupational therapist, to develop strategies to cope better at work. Physical activity included a planning session and access to a local gym. Main Measures Feasibility: attendance, discontinuation and adverse events. Measurements were the Work Ability Index, the Global Assessment of Functioning, the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index. Results Attendance to rehabilitation sessions was 88% (n = 147/167) and discontinuation rate was 14% (n = 3/21). No serious adverse events were reported. Within both groups, there was a significant improvement in Work Ability Index score (mean change: 3.6 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45, 6.7) in work-directed rehabilitation and 3.9 (95% CI: 0.9, 7.0) in physical activity) with no significant difference between groups. For the other outcomes, significant improvements were found within but not between groups. Per-protocol analysis showed a trend toward the antidepressant effect of work-directed rehabilitation compared to physical activity (mean difference in depression score -3.1 (95% CI: -6.8, 0.4), P = 0.075). Conclusions Work-directed rehabilitation was feasible to persons with common mental disorders and improved their work ability and mental health. Comparable improvements were seen in the physical activity group. Suggested modifications for a larger trial include adding a treatment-as-usual control.

Work and depression: The moderating role of personality traits
Purpose Some stress theories argue that the effects of stressors are moderated by the individual perception of stressors. Personality traits may thus moderate the relationship between work stressors and depression. Methods This study aims to verify the moderating effect of personality traits on the relationship between work conditions and depression. Multilevel regression analyzes were performed on a sample of 1957 workers employed in 63 Quebec firms. Work variables included skill utilization, decision authority, psychological demands, physical demands, job insecurity, irregular schedule, number of working hours, social support from colleagues and supervisors, and personality traits included self-esteem, locus of control, Big Five. Results and conclusion Certain specific personality traits (self-esteem, locus of control) and general personality traits (openness, extraversion, and conscientiousness) play a moderating role on the relationship between working conditions (skill utilization, physical demands, support from colleagues, job insecurity) and depression. The results of this study may be useful in some human resource management activities, particularly career management, promotions management, and personnel selection. Additional research will, however, be necessary to gain a more complete understanding of the full range of determinants affecting depression.

One-year trajectories of mental health and work outcomes post return to work in patients with common mental disorders
Purpose We investigated one-year trajectories of symptom recovery, work functioning and the return to work percentage (RTW%) among patients with common mental disorders (CMDs). Methods Data were used from a cluster-randomised controlled trial evaluating a problem-solving intervention for CMD patients (N = 158) who had returned to work. Information on anxiety and depressive symptoms, work functioning and RTW% was collected at baseline and 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up. Latent class growth analyses were used to identify trajectories for the four outcomes and investigate how these trajectories clustered in higher order latent classes. Additionally, we investigated the relation between patient characteristics and class membership. Results We identified four trajectories for all four outcomes and derived three higher order latent classes: slow recovery (42% [66/158]) (high anxiety and depressive symptoms, moderate to low work functioning and fast RTW); fast recovery (25% [40/158]) (low anxiety and depressive symptoms, high work functioning and fast RTW); and gradual recovery (33% [52/158] (decreasing anxiety and depressive symptoms, increasing or low work functioning and fast RTW). Participants with a higher work engagement and readiness to stay at work were more likely to belong to the fast recovery class. Limitations Due to the relatively small sample size, some trajectories consisted of few participants. Symptom severity was self-reported. Conclusions Many CMD patients experience high levels of mental health symptoms and work functioning problems during the year post RTW. Creating realistic recovery expectations (for both patients and their environments) could be important for successful and sustainable recovery and work participation.

Return-to-Work Coordinators' Practices for Workers with Burnout
Purpose Return-to-work (RTW) coordinators facilitate RTW of workers with work disabilities. However, little is known about RTW coordinators' practices for workers with burnout. The aims of this study were to describe RTW coordinators' activities in supporting workers with burnout during the RTW process, and their experiences with factors influencing the support. Methods Interviews and essay assignments were conducted with 15 RTW coordinators employed in universities and central hospitals in Finland. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results RTW coordinators were involved in the RTW process during early intervention, off-work, and work resumption phases. Seven groups of activities were identified: monitoring staff well-being; initiating RTW process; planning RTW; providing tools to support recovery; monitoring progress of the RTW process; supporting re-engagement with work; and monitoring coping with work. RTW coordinators' activities depended on their institutional positions. Factors influencing the support included common understanding about burnout syndrome: co-occurring illnesses, dimensions of burnout, unpredictability of the recovery, personality characteristics, private life psychosocial factors, conflicts within the work community, and openness about burnout and its causes. Conclusions Complexity of the burnout problem challenges the support from the RTW coordinators. Understanding the causes and the consequences of burnout is important for the RTW coordinators to provide adequate and timely support for the workers with burnout in collaboration with the other stakeholders involved in the RTW process. Burnout-, individual-, and work-related factors should be considered in the RTW coordination to prevent and to reduce the negative consequences of burnout.

A return to work program improves parasympathetic activity and psychiatric symptoms in workers on sick leave due to depression
Purpose People with depression have autonomic function disturbances. In Japan, workers who take leave due to depression often undergo a work-focused intervention program called the return to work (RTW) program at a mental health hospital during their leave of absence. However, its biological efficacy remains unclear. We investigated the biological efficacy of the RTW program, including changes in autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, in workers on sick leave due to depression in Japan. Methods The study involved 104 workers on sick leave due to major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder who underwent the RTW program for 3 months in Yokohama City University Hospital. The ANS activity of all patients was evaluated using heart rate variability at the beginning and end of the 3-month RTW program. Psychiatric symptoms were evaluated using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale-Japanese (MADRS-J) and Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale (SASS). We followed up 3 months after the end of the program and investigated the association between the success in returning to work within 3 months after the end of the RTW program and several factors, including ANS activity, depressive symptoms, and demographic factors. Results Parasympathetic activity was significantly higher and depressive symptom severity was significantly lower at program end than at baseline. Logistic regression analysis showed that the change in depressive symptoms was significantly associated with success in returning to work. Conclusions We suggest that the RTW program improves parasympathetic activity as well as psychiatric symptoms. ANS activity was not a predictor of a successful return to work within 3 months after the end of the program in workers on sick leave due to depression, but further studies with a larger sample size are needed.

Return-to-Work Following Depression: What Work Accommodations Do Employers and Human Resources Directors Put in Place?
Purpose The magnitude of economic and social costs related to common mental disorders has a profound impact on the workplace. Returning to work following depression is, therefore, a major issue for all stakeholders involved (employee, employer, human resources director, union, physician, etc.). Considering their role in the organization, Human Resources Directors (HRD) and employers have a decisive impact on the return-to-work (RTW) process. Purpose This study aims to determine which RTW accommodations are implemented, following depression, by one of the central stakeholders: HRD and employers. Methods 219 HRD/employers participated in a semi-structured telephone interview about RTW of employees after depression. From that interview, the question related to this article was: Do you put in place work accommodations for employees after a sick leave due to depression (yes or no)? If their response was positive, we asked: If yes, what were the work accommodations? Results 170 HRD/employers specified accommodations. The most common categories identified were related to: work schedule, task modifications, job change and work environment change. Accommodations directly related to the employee or the colleagues were considerably less mentioned and those concerning other RTW stakeholders, including supervisor, were almost absent. Conclusions Our results suggest that accommodations directly related to work aspects seemed to predominate in our sample of HRD/employers when an employee returned-to-work following depression. The relational aspect and the involvement of the different stakeholders are also not prioritized to accommodate the RTW. These results contrast with employer best practice guidelines for the RTW of workers with common mental disorders.

Development and Implementation of a Mental Health Work Rehabilitation Program: Results of a Developmental Evaluation
Purpose Long-term work disability due to common mental disorders (CMDs) is a growing problem. Yet optimal interventions remain unclear and little is known about implementation challenges in everyday practice. This study aimed to support and evaluate, in real time, the development and implementation of a work rehabilitation program (WRP) designed to promote post-CMD return-to-work (RTW). Methods A 2-year developmental evaluation was performed using a participatory approach. At program outset, the researchers held five work meetings to revise the program's logic model and discuss its underlying change theory with clinicians. Data collection tools used throughout the study period were structured charts of activities conducted with workers (n = 41); in-depth interviews with program clinicians and managers (n = 9); and participant observation during work meetings. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data underwent thematic analysis using a processual approach. Results Three types of activity were developed and implemented: individual and group interventions targeting workers, and joint activities targeting partners (physicians, employers, others). While worker-targeted activities were generally implemented as planned, joint activities were sporadic. Analysis of the implementation process revealed five challenges faced by clinicians. Determinants included clinicians, host organization, sociopolitical context and resources provided by the evaluation. Conclusions The program studied is original in that it is based on the best available scientific knowledge, yet adapted to contextual particularities. The identified implementation challenges highlight the need for greater importance to be placed on the external, non-program context to ensure sustainable implementation in everyday practice.

What are they returning to? Psychosocial work environment as a predictor of returning to work among employees in treatment for common mental disorders: A prospective observational pre–post study
Purpose Long-term sick leave and disabilities due to common mental disorders are challenging for society, employers, and individuals. Hence, we wanted to investigate whether psychosocial work environments experienced by employees undergoing treatment for such disorders was associated with return to work. Methods At the start of treatment, 164 patients responded to questionnaires concerning their psychosocial work environment (the Job Demand–Control–Support model and the Effort–Reward Imbalance model), symptoms (The Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation Outcome Measure) and ability to work (Work Ability Index). In addition, the respondents reported whether they were working or on sick leave at the start and end of their courses of treatment. Their therapists provided information about diagnoses. Results Return to work was associated with control of decisions, support from colleagues, esteem, and job promotion opportunities as measured at the start of treatment. In multivariate analyses, control over decisions and job promotion opportunities continued to predict return to work when adjusted for symptoms, current work ability, and expected future work ability. Conclusions The working conditions that predicted return to work are considered to facilitate work performance and to be sources of motivation, job satisfaction, and job commitment. Consequently, it is important to examine whether this patient group has a favorable working environment and consider changes in the workplace if the environment is not favorable.

Strategies to keep working among workers with common mental disorders - a grounded theory study
PurposeMost people with common mental disorders (CMDs) are employed and working, but few studies have looked into how they manage their jobs while ill. This study explores workers' experiences of strategies to keep working while suffering from CMDs. MethodsIn this grounded theory study, we interviewed 19 women and eight men with depression or anxiety disorders. They were 19-65 years old and had different occupations. Constant comparison method was used in the analysis. ResultsWe identified a core pattern in the depressed and anxious workers' attempts to sustain their capacities, defined as Managing work space. The core pattern comprised four categories describing different cognitive, behavioral, and social strategies. The categories relate to a process of sustainability. Two categories reflected more reactive and temporary strategies, occurring mainly in the onset phase of illness: Forcing the work role and Warding off work strain. The third category, Recuperating from work, reflected strategies during both onset and recovery phases. The fourth category, Reflexive adaptation, was present mainly in the recovery phase and involved reflective strategies interpreted as more sustainable over time. ConclusionsThe results can deepen understanding among rehabilitation professionals about different work-related strategies in depressed and anxious workers. Increased awareness of the meaning and characteristics of strategies can inform a person-oriented approach in rehabilitation. The knowledge can be used in clinical encounters to reflect together with the patient, exploring present options and introducing modifications to their particular work and life context. Implications for rehabilitationSelf-managed work functioning in common mental disorders involves diverse strategies. Strategies interpreted as sustainable over time, seem to be reflective in the sense that the worker consciously applies and adapts the strategies. However, at the onset of illness, such reflection is difficult to develop as the worker might not want to realize their reduced functioning. Rehabilitation professionals' awareness of different strategies can facilitate a person-centered approach and understanding of the vocational rehabilitation process.

Occupational health care return-to-work practices for workers with job burnout
PurposeOccupational health care supports return to work in cases of burnout; however, there is little research on return-to-work practices. AimTo describe occupational health care return-to-work practices for workers with burnout and to identify potential for the development of the practices. MethodsOpen-ended interviews and essays were used to collect data from 25 occupational health care professionals. A qualitative content analysis method was used. Results: Occupational health care was involved in the return-to-work support in the off-work, work re-entry and maintenance phases during the return-to-work process. However, occupational health care had no influence in the advancement phase. The key return-to-work actions were: (i) defining burnout, (ii) supporting disengagement from work, (iii) supporting recovery, (iv) determining the return-to-work goal, (v) supporting re-engagement with work, (vi) monitoring the job-person match, (vii) re-evaluating the return-to-work goal, (viii) supporting the maintenance of the achieved return-to-work goal, and, where appropriate, (ix) supporting an alternative return-to-work goal. There were varied return-to-work practices among the occupational health care centers evaluated. ConclusionsThe occupational health care return-to-work practices for workers with burnout are described with recommendations to further develop common practice guidelines.

A Preliminary Study of Work-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Group Therapy for Japanese Workers
Purpose In Japan, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been introduced in the 'Rework Programme', but its impact on return to work (RTW) has not been fully clarified. This pilot study investigated the initial efficacy of a work-focused cognitive behavioural group therapy (WF-CBGT) for Japanese workers on sick leave due to depression. Methods Twenty-three patients on leave due to depression were recruited from a mental health clinic. WF-CBGT including behavioural activation therapy, cognitive therapy, and problem-solving therapy techniques was conducted for eight weekly 150-minute sessions. Participants completed questionnaires on depression and anxiety (Kessler-6), social adaptation (Social Adaptation Self-Evaluation Scale), and difficulty in RTW (Difficulty in Returning to Work Inventory) at pre- and post-intervention time points. Rates of re-instatement after the intervention were examined. Results One participant dropped out, but 22 participants successfully completed the intervention. All scale scores significantly improved after intervention and, except for difficulty in RTW related to physical fitness, all effect sizes were above the moderate classification. All participants who completed the intervention succeeded in RTW. Conclusions Results suggested the possibility that WF-CBGT may be a feasible and promising intervention for Japanese workers on leave due to depression regardless of cross-cultural differences, but that additional research examining effectiveness using controlled designs and other samples is needed. Future research should examine the efficacy of this programme more systematically to provide relevant data to aid in the continued development of an evidence-based intervention.

When moving to a new home, the work of packing can be a hassle and hiring professional packing service is an option that is available. Professional packers come in more than one package. Some pack your whole house up and others only pack certain items. To determine what is right for you, consider the factors of time, effort and cost.
Would you prefer professional packers or unpackers? This depends on how much you enjoy each activity. Some people prefer packing to unpacking, and other the opposite, while others do not enjoy either. This choice a personal one, and must take into consideration the cost of each. There are several companies which can offer you full services. You just have to identify them and assess what each of them does.
Here are the options of the companies you can select from.
1. A Full Packing Service
Usually the company will send someone to survey your home and assess the details of your move. They will make a list of every item that will have to be packed, from your furniture, contents of cupboards and the kitchen drawers. Through this they determine the cost of packing and what items will require special care or are of value.
Items that are considered valuables are paperwork, jewelry and artwork. The surveyor will discuss these with you and how to handle them. Any items which you can carry with you rather than placing them in the truck on the day of the move, will be packed and handed to you. Usually furniture is disassembled, carefully wrapped and placed in packaging that has padding for protection. All boxes are labeled appropriately and are sorted based on their room of origin and where they will be placed in the new house.
The company gives you an estimated time of how long it will take to pack all your belongings and what the cost will be, a lot of times it can be done in a single day. The amount of time you give them and the number of items to be packed greatly determines the price. Anyone in a hurry to move will require more packers to get the task done in a short time.
When you meet the surveyor always outrightly inquire about timeframes, what resources will be utilized and what the cost will be. Arrange ahead of time for children or pets to be kept elsewhere to avoid interference in the process, or any occurrence of injuries.
You have to decide if you want a full service, whereby they pack and unpack all your items for you. This is a choice that has to be based on the factors of time and cost. A packing service could raise the budget for moving. On the other hand, packing requires a great time commitment, which should also include the time required to obtain the materials necessary to pack. Most services can accomplish the task of packing in a day, thus you do not have to live with boxes during your packing period.
2. Packers of Specialty Items
If you find yourself short on cash, or you simply want to keep you moving costs low there are packing services that offer services only for certain items. These items are usually objects that are break easily, mirrors, artwork or valuables. The service will assess your home and provide you with an estimate of the cost. They will also inform you on how they intend to protect your items, this is great if you have particular objects that concern you more than others.
Items that are definitely a reason to call a packer include: chandeliers, china, highly priced artwork, antiques, and furniture that is fragile.
A lot of moving companies suggest that those who are moving hire professional packers to pack their large appliances. These could be washers and dryers, stoves, televisions or refrigerators. Appliances can move around a lot during transit which can cause them to get banged up, if they are not packaged properly prior to transport, moving companies can refuse responsibility if they fail to function once they get to the destination.
Choosing a professional packing service revolves around the tree critical factors of time, effort and cost. If you feel that you are too busy to dedicate a significant amount of time to packing and ensuring that all your items are well packed and labelled then you should consider a packing service. If you feel that you are unwilling to put in the effort to pack then you should consider a packing company. If the cost of a full service packing company is too restrictive, then you can go for the partial services and reduce the work you have to do. Once all of this is done ensure you select a reputable mover like Menards or Penske to move your well packed items, and ensure they arrive safely. | <urn:uuid:5be76eb5-235e-47fa-8194-e873abc8c368> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.carandtruckrentalprices.com/should-you-use-a-packing-service/ | 2020-08-13T02:27:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738950.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813014639-20200813044639-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.959742 | 941 | [

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of psychological distances on the consumer attitudes related to new product advertising based on the construal level theory. In particular, this study intends to test the interaction effects among models' nationalities, the newness of new products and message types on the Chinese consumer attitudes toward the advertisements or products. Perceived cultural distances were also considered to have moderating role on the interaction effects. The results indicated that the fits of psychological distances led more positive attitudes. Consumers showed more positive attitudes toward abstract(vs concrete) advertising with foreign models. In the domestic model advertising, consumer attitudes were enhanced when concrete(vs abstract) messages were provided. The findings also demonstrate that the influences could be different according to perceived cultural distances.

Grace Estefano, information officer of DepEd Palawan, said their local office is now waiting for the memorandum from the central office containing the full detail of the early registration in all public schools.
“We are waiting for the memorandum coming from the central office. As soon as ma-receive na namin ‘yon — kasi it might have changes — idi-disseminate na rin namin. Sa ngayon parang teaser muna ang laman (As soon as we received the memorandum — it might have changes — we will also disseminate. Right now, what it has is just teaser),” Estefano said
Estefano said parents can access the DepEd website and Facebook account to know more about the upcoming registration.
Based on the Basic Education Enrollment Policy (BEEP) issued by Education Sec. Leonor Briones under DepEd Order No. 3, Series of 2018, incoming students in grades 2-6, 8-10 and 12 are considered pre-registered.
Estefano said the purpose of the early registration is to get figures to allocate resources available for the school year 2019-2020.
“Una, para malaman ‘yong resources ng DepEd as to the classrooms available baka kailangan na natin magdagdag ng mga temporary, matagal kasi ‘yang construction. Ilan pa ‘yong kulang natin na facilities para ma-accommodate kung masyadong marami ang ating enrollees (First, so we will know the resources of DepEd as to the classrooms available because we might need to add temporary one since construction takes longer. We have to know what facilities we need to set up to accommodate if the enrollees are high in number),” she said.
The early enrollment will help identify the number of classrooms and teachers and other deficiencies, she added.
She also said that the early registration will also determine the number of students displaced in Palawan, out of school youths (OSYs) and adult learners planning to go back to formal school.
The memorandum also states that learners aged 6-12 who shall be enrolling in basic education for the first time shall be enrolled in appropriate grade levels on the basis of Completion of Kindergarten Catch-up Education Program for learners to be enrolled in grade 1 and the Philippine Placement Test (PEPT) for learners to be enrolled in the appropriate grade level based on the result of their PEPT.
“Learners aged 13 and above who shall be enrolling in basic education for the first time shall be advised to undergo the ALS (alternative learning system) program”, the memorandum also said.
Estefano said the decision of the learners to accelerate their grade level by taking PEPT depends on the decision of the parents and the students.
“Ang iba kasi nagti-take ng PEPT para yong age nila ay sumabay kung kailangan na ba nila umakyat sa higher level ng grades. Yong iba naman gusto nila mag-aral na ‘di nagti-take ng accelerations base doon sa kanilang edad. Depende kasi sa choices ng magulang at ng bata,” she added.
DepEd- Palawan, she said has continuously pushed for the early registration to help the school age children who are attending formal school know if they are qualified to enter for the next school year.
Estefano urged the parents and learners to grab the opportunity of early registration to achieve the ‘Education For All’ of DepEd.
“Pagkakataon na ito dahil libre nga ang basic education kasi naniniwala tayo na ang lahat ng Pilipino ay dapat makapag-aral kasi ‘yan ang ating kayamanan na ‘di pwede nino man,” she said. | <urn:uuid:87848e19-499e-4a23-a668-dfc4723e99dc> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://palawan-news.com/deped-early-registration-set-on-jan-26-feb-27/ | 2020-08-09T16:37:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738562.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809162458-20200809192458-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.915255 | 883 | [

Hashimoto, A., Takeuchi, S., Kajita, R. et al. Proteogenomic analysis of granulocyte macrophage colony- stimulating factor autoantibodies in the blood of a patient with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Sci Rep 10, 4923 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-61934-y
Recently, attempts to reveal the structures of autoantibodies comprehensively using improved proteogenomics technology, have become popular. This technology identifies peptides in highly purified antibodies by using an Orbitrap device to compare spectra from liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry against a cDNA database obtained through next-generation sequencing. In this study, we first analyzed granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) autoantibodies in a patient with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, using the trapped ion mobility spectrometry coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight (TIMS-TOF) instrument. The TIMS-TOF instrument identified peptides that partially matched sequences in up to 156 out of 162 cDNA clones. Complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) was fully and partially detected in nine and 132 clones, respectively. Moreover, we confirmed one unique framework region 4 (FR4) and at least three unique across CDR3 to FR4 peptides via de novopeptide sequencing. This new technology may thus permit the comprehensive identification of autoantibody structure. | <urn:uuid:ebc7498d-442d-4607-addb-bc701e10fe3c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.bioinfor.com/proteogenomic-analysis-of-granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating-factor-autoantibodies-in-the-blood-of-a-patient-with-autoimmune-pulmonary-alveolar-proteinosis/ | 2020-08-09T17:02:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738562.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809162458-20200809192458-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.818734 | 326 | [

Conflicts happen naturally. Most of the time conflicts are a symptom of something else. Therefore it is important for a couple to cultivate a habit of controlling and harnessing conflicts for the good of the family.
esterday we looked at the definitions of conflict. We said there will be disagreements in a marriage family once in a while. But what is important is that it should not end up being a conflict. One of the definitions was that a conflict is a contentious or sharp and irreconcilable disagreement over interest, ideas, beliefs, etc. We therefore said in order to avoid such would be to consider different views on an issue and have a way of reaching an agreement.
God wants us to have great and loving families. He is LOVE and therefore desires that love rules everywhere and that includes our love lives and families. However, there is an enemy around who sows the wrong seeds. He sows fights and conflicts in families.
Marriage is a great institution created by God. The Lord wanted love to be shared within the boundaries of such an institution. Why? Within marriage, there is security for both partners as well as commitment.
Marriage is a life commitment according to God. It is important therefore to take your time to understand what marriage is and choosing your best life partner. Never do these things when you are under pressure. Marriage is a very important life choice one can ever make. We are told that is not good for a man to be alone. That means every human being needs to have somebody to spend life with.
Why do some married couples argue most of the time especially a short time after marriage? Does it mean there is something wrong with the marriage? Can such a situation improve? Marriage is a holy institution created by God. Two people from different backgrounds have come to spend their lives together. Therefore, marriage is built every day. Couples still need to learn and understand each other.
There are often complaints by women that the husbands spend most of their time away from home. They spend most of their time away with friends or visiting parents. On the other hand, husbands complain that the wives are always busy with children and do not care about their husbands.
Families need help. But before one can help them effectively, we need to first look at our own families before we can effectively help others. Christians who came to the Lord and their marriages and families were saved through good examples of godly living by their church leaders than just their words.
What is God’s plan for marriage? God’s plan for marriage is revealed in the Bible. God joins a couple together. Nowadays most young men and women want to move together before marriage. They normally say that no one needs to get married these days, married people divorce in any case. Now, let us see what God says about marriage so we can help people who are faced with marriage problems.
Family was God’s idea from the beginning of time. So it was God’s original intention for marriages to be happy. This was to ensure that all children could grow up in happy Christian homes. Today, there is a challenge in family life. As a result many children lost respect for their parents. They no longer obey them. There are also children who grow up in homes with single parents. | <urn:uuid:28a595e2-0b58-4d2c-8a3d-ef13840b2be7> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://singlesandcouplescoach.wordpress.com/blog/ | 2020-08-11T16:44:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738816.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811150134-20200811180134-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.980161 | 673 | [

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) - An Illinois couple took the BattleHawks slogan, "Cleared to Engage," to the next level.
Dustin Van Tine told News 4 he worked with St. Louis' XFL team for the last week to pull off the ultimate surprise proposal to his girlfriend Jamie Sluis.
"I wanted to do it in a cool way," Van Tine said.
The couple stared dating two years ago at Illinois State University. They live in Springfield and Van Tine said he got the idea to do it at the BattleHawks game.
"At first she didn't want to go," he said with a smile.
He messaged the BattleHawks with the word "PROPOSAL" in the subject line.
During Saturday's game against the Seattle Dragons, in-game host Meghan O'Donnell approached the couple for a game on the jumbotron. After the game, Meghan asked if they were "cleared to engage" and Dustin responded with "not yet."
That's when he got down on one knee and 27,000 fans started cheering.
"The crowd was so nuts and it was so awesome. The videos my family took and my buddies took everyone around us was going nuts and it was so cool. I really appreciate everything [the team] did," said Dustin. | <urn:uuid:2eb16c5f-b6fa-4f80-850f-92315e83cc89> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.kmov.com/news/cleared-to-engage-couple-gets-engaged-at-battlehawks-game/article_fbb30e7a-5c34-11ea-b828-9fee395568b5.html | 2020-08-11T15:39:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738816.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811150134-20200811180134-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.985714 | 286 | [

Vallug Bowbeast is an anthropomorphic ferret and one of the main villains in the Redwall series book, The Taggerung.
Vallug was a member of the evil Juska tribe and one of Sawney Rath's top assassins. He was an extremely skilled archer who could pick off a dragonfly in mid-air. Vallug was a sturdy, stolid ferret who didn't speak much, but was very cunning and brutal.
Vallug murdered the otter Rillflag with an arrow to the heart so that Sawney Rath could take Rillflag's infant son to be the Juska's warrior-messiah, the Taggerung. When the baby otter Tagg grew up, he rebelled and ran away from the Juska, and Vallug was one of the nine vermin warriors sent after him. Vallug had set up a shaky partnership with the devious weasel Eefera, and together they split from the main group and hunted down Tagg themselves. They tracked him to Redwall Abbey, the otter's real home, and demanded that the Redwallers give them the Taggerung. Vallug wounded a couple of Redwallers and accidentally killed the resident badgermum, Cregga, with a stray arrow. When Tagg, who was inside the Abbey, knew that the vermin were outside, he broke out and grabbed the closest weapon; the sword of Martin. He charged outside and attacked Vallug and Eefera, and Vallug fired an arrow into his chest, but the injury didn't stop him and he beheaded the Bowbeast in one swing. | <urn:uuid:6cf1df4d-3e49-4ed5-a034-2e3e5ccea2f9> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Vallug_Bowbeast | 2020-08-15T00:21:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740343.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814215931-20200815005931-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.968889 | 345 | [

The Consumer Price Index is used to calculate inflation, or the change in price of a basket of goods and services, as it impacts consumers; whereas, the Producer Price Index measures changes in selling prices, thereby expressing price changes from the perspective of the seller who produces a particular commodity.
A slide presentation updated with October 2017 data shows the Midwest inflation rate increased slightly from September to October for both smaller metro areas (0.39 percent) and non-metro areas (0.41 percent). The larger metropolitan areas noticed a -0.05 percent decrease.
The Producer Price Index data shows that prices in the United States have increased from October 2016 to October 2017 for aircraft (0.8 percent), slaughter livestock (11.1 percent), crude petroleum (6.5 percent), wheat (20.6 percent) and sorghum (15.8 percent). During that same time period, the index decreased for natural gas (-5.1 percent). | <urn:uuid:308eccdc-6697-4f76-940c-5da9d7b0784b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.cedbr.org/component/content/article/157-prices-cost/1359-prices-increased-across-several-industries-over-the-last-year?Itemid=238 | 2021-11-26T22:53:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358074.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20211126224056-20211127014056-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.929361 | 192 | [

The National Labor Relations Board is trying to kill a law unique to Oregon that prohibits employers from forcing workers to attend anti-union meetings, adding a state battle to its ferocious attacks on workers’ rights at the federal level.
Swearing-in ceremony for Salem, Ore., Local 280 members in Redmond. The NLRB is threatening the rights of workers across the state by fighting an Oregon law that protects them from being forced to attend employers’ anti-union captive audience meetings.
Workers in Oregon can’t be fired, disciplined or penalized in any way for opting out of the captive-audience spiels intended to derail organizing drives with union-busting rhetoric and pressure tactics.
In a complaint filed Feb. 7 in U.S. District Court, the NLRB charges that federal law permitting the mandatory meetings trumps the 2009 Oregon statute, which also bars employers from forcing their religious and political views on workers.
The Board claims Oregon is violating employers’ free speech rights, the same rationale that business groups used in 2010 when they sued in federal court to block the law. The case was dismissed.
“The free-speech argument has always been absurd,” said Kail Zuschlag, assistant business manager of Salem Local 280 in Oregon’s capital city. “The law doesn’t do anything to stop employers from pushing their anti-union propaganda, it just protects workers from having to listen.”
Through case decisions and new rules, the NLRB has been on a tear undermining unions and workers’ rights nationwide, while fueling the worst instincts of private-sector employers.
Recent rulings allow employers to kick organizers out of public spaces and forbid union pins and apparel at work, shield corporations from responsibility for franchises that mistreat employees, ban certain informational pickets, take away the right of unions to communicate with members via employer email, and many other rollbacks.
“As if the Board’s rapid-fire agenda harming working people across the country weren’t enough, now they’re meddling in state affairs, going after a law that broke ground for workers’ rights,” International President Lonnie R. Stephenson said. “We will be vigilant in standing with our members and all workers in Oregon and every other state where the NLRB interferes.”
Under federal law, the only time employers can’t hold mandatory meetings to discuss unions is within 24 hours of a union election.
Until then, the NLRB asserts, Oregon’s law conflicts with the intent of the 1935 National Labor Relations Act not to regulate “non-coercive employer speech about unions,” according to an Oregonian article about the complaint.
Last November, Board general counsel and career union-buster Peter Robb sent a letter asking Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum to support the NLRB in nullifying the law. She refused.
IBEW leaders say Oregon’s stand for workers and the NLRB’s attacks demonstrate how much elections matter.
“We have a state government right now that has workers’ backs, but on a national level, our rights are endangered,” Zuschlag said. “How can the NLRB possibly have time to chip away at states’ rights when issues like wage theft and misclassification of workers are happening so blatantly? Is taking rights away from working Oregonians really part of the solution?” | <urn:uuid:49b2da31-06dc-46a7-97ee-b400659c7a85> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://ibew.org/media-center/Articles/20Daily/2002/200218_NLRBThreatens | 2021-11-28T14:17:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358560.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128134516-20211128164516-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.94002 | 723 | [

Ticks on Acid
A found and removed 3-4mm tick (when measured across the abdomen) has been attached for around 3 to 4 days and injected enough holocyclotoxin to kill an average size dog though luckily not straight away. The toxin needs to be absorbed by local lymphatics, find its way into the bloodstream, leach out and transit to its’ target organs, where it binds and stops nerve transmission. Untreated pets tend to die between days 5 to 7 after attachment.
Tick antiserum can inactivate any toxin from the bloodstream back, but is unable to “chase” the toxin once in “transit”, so it works better the earlier you give it. This transit toxin is the reason why pets can deteriorate despite treatment, and why a “wait and see (die?)” strategy is a bad idea.
Pets on Acid
One of the leading causes of paralysis tick fatalities has a remarkable similarity with ocean acidification, carbon dioxide. Climate change denialist regularly state that atmospheric CO2 is an unreactive gas, but what they conveniently forget to tell you is that in liquid, it becomes a volatile, reactive acid.
Tick affected pets develop paralysed, exhausted breathing muscles and become unable to “blow off” CO2 which builds up in the body, just like elevated atmospheric CO2 is building up in our oceans. CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid. Luckily both the ocean and our bodies have buffer systems that eat up spare hydrogen ions which helps stabilise the pH.
When these buffer systems are exposed to increasing levels of CO2 they can become overwhelmed, with catastrophic results. Respiratory acidosis causes cerebral edema, coma and death. Ocean acidification will eventually overwhelm the carbonate buffer system dissolving calcium carbonate, an important structural component of corals, crustaceans, sea urchins, molluscs, algae and phytoplankton. The future of reef based marine ecosystems, fisheries and tourism is bleak.
Simply remove the excess CO2. In tick affected animals we place them in an induced coma and ventilate with a life support system until the tick toxin wears off. However, with our oceans, there is no way to remove the CO2 once it has been absorbed. The only practical long term solution is to reduce its’ emission into the atmosphere. | <urn:uuid:f5df1c24-a6b4-47b3-b713-21ffb222be4f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://miltonvillagevet.com.au/ticks-on-acid/ | 2021-11-28T14:25:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358560.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128134516-20211128164516-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.936052 | 499 | [

The Mallrats have encountered a literal roadblock on their way to Eagle Mountain, but they’re saved by the sudden arrival of BRAY and EBONY in one of the Locos’ buses. BRAY’s reception by AMBER, however, is chilly, much to his confusion. But just when all hope seems to be lost, the Mallrats finally reach their destination and are delivered one final message from the long-lost adults, which places them securely in the driver’s seat of their own destiny.
Prompted by JACK’s insistence and TAI SAN’s vision, which seems to confirm his hunch, the Mallrats agree to leave their home for Eagle Mountain. At the Locos’ headquarters, BRAY attempts to convince EBONY to leave the notorious gang and come back to the mall with him. Her feelings on the topic change drastically when SPIKE initiates his own coup d’état. As the remaining Mallrats begin to leave, AMBER’s finally written off her feelings for BRAY, but TRUDY may not let her give up so easily.
JACK believes he’s uncovered the secret to the mysterious formula, but he has a hard time convincing the others to go along with his hunch since it means potentially leaving the mall for good. AMBER remains on edge after seeing the helicopter footage of BRAY and EBONY together. Meanwhile, EBONY attempts to instill doubt of AMBER’s true feelings into BRAY’s head.
DAL and RYAN have figured out the perfect way to do reconnaissance of the Locos by attaching a small camera to the remote helicopter, but AMBER may not like what she sees when EBONY attempts to seduce BRAY. LEX returns to the mall, but he doesn’t find himself greeted very warmly by his wife.
EBONY seems to have won, having taken not only the antidote, but also LEX and BRAY. But AMBER’s not giving BRAY up so easily, and she embarks on a search for the Locos’ hideout. Meanwhile, JACK attempts to access the facility’s files with the help of KC, who fears that his time with the Mallrats is limited.
The mall has been set ablaze by TOP HAT and the Tribe Circus, and the Mallrats are hopelessly trapped inside— that is, until LEX secures a deal with EBONY and the Locos. But EBONY wants the antidote, and she’ll stop at nothing to get it. Is her deal with LEX genuine? Or is it another trap?
Just as BRAY feared, the Tribe Circus — led by the insane TOP HAT — invades the mall attempting to enslave the Mallrats, but the Mallrats aren’t giving up without a fight. Meanwhile, LEX continues to remain a prisoner to both the Locos and the virus.
In his efforts to help CLOE escape the casino, KC has been captured. To continue the clearing of his conscience, LEX sets out to rescue KC, though the young gambler may not be welcomed back to the mall. ZANDRA once again confides in RYAN. And AMBER and BRAY finally reveal their newly minted relationship to the others, only after TRUDY accidentally catches them together.
KC is gambling away the tribe members’ personal items, including the pig! Can CLOE help win it all back? Meanwhile, LEX is feeling the effects of the virus and, having seen TAI SAN’s recovery, decides to try her method instead of taking the antidote. However, TAI SAN’s method requires LEX to be free of a heavy conscience, leading him to a series of confessions to each member of the Mallrats.
AMBER, BRAY, LEX, and DAL are trapped inside the lab at Hope Island with little time to escape before “full decontamination” of the facility is initiated. Elsewhere, TAI SAN’s symptoms worsen, despite her regular meditation. And CLOE stumbles upon a discovery about KC that could mean the end for the tribe’s pet pig!
AMBER, BRAY, LEX, and DAL head to Hope Island with the belief that they’ll find information about a cure for the virus. Unfortunately, what they find en route is an abandoned minefield! Meanwhile TAI SAN begins showing symptoms of the virus, but refuses to treat it with science or technology. And RYAN catches SALENE in the act of bingeing once again.
BRAY, AMBER, LEX, DAL, and KC split into two teams and leave the mall to find any clues to a cure for the virus affecting GLEN. While out, DAL makes a startling discovery about LEX. And KC’s own wit is put to the test when his team is confronted with members of the Locos. Back at the mall however, GLEN appears to be recovering slightly— but is it due to a promise made between him and his former love, ZANDRA?
What was once believed to be a blessing becomes the Mallrats’ worst nightmare when it’s discovered that the mysterious old man seen wandering the streets is actually GLEN, who now has the virus and has begun rapidly aging— and he’s not the only one out there. Is the virus contagious? If so, are the Mallrats now infected?
PATSY has come face-to-face with the mysterious adult wandering about and convinces him to come back to the mall in hopes that he’ll help restore order and hope to the group. However, back at the mall, LEX has organized a trial in an effort to expel BRAY. And TRUDY finds herself once again worried about SALENE’s bulimia. | <urn:uuid:ab09afd7-e0f2-439b-af03-780ce2c5616d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://thetribe.co.uk/tag/series-1/ | 2021-11-28T14:55:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358560.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128134516-20211128164516-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.962065 | 1,226 | [

By Daniel A. Espinosa,
Fourteen years after the historic visit of Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI visited Cuba for the first time on March 26 – 28, 2012. After celebrating two masses—one in Santiago, the other in Havana—many wonder what affect the visit will have on the people of Cuba. Pope John Paul II’s visit to Cuba yielded an era of greater religious expression. What will Pope Benedict XVI’s visit yield? Eager to find out, a group of young Cuban-Americans, including myself, embarked on a missionary trip to Cuba on March 23, 2012.
As the son of Cuban exiles, Cuba was never a topic of discussion at our dinner table. The Castro Regime caused much pain and suffering and broke many families apart. Naturally, visiting Cuba was never an option for me. But the announcement that Pope Benedict XVI was visiting Cuba created a sense of hope that I could see the country where my roots originated. As a father of three beautiful children, I was hesitant at first. After much prayer, deliberation, and discovering that a trip was being led by Miami’s Roman Catholic Archbishop, Thomas Wenski, I took the plunge and went on the pilgrimage to Cuba with three other missionaries—I still haven’t told my grandparents.
Prior to our mission, my colleagues and I were taken aback by the division amongst those for and against the Pope’s visit to Cuba. A crystalline example can be found in several Miami Herald articles, one of which was written by Sylvia G. Iriondo in March 2012. Let me preface my commentary with the utmost understanding that the debate of traveling to Cuba is filled with emotion—rightfully so—and much resentment for obvious reasons. In her article, Sylvia takes an adamant stance (one which I respect very much) against travel to Cuba, especially disguised as a “pilgrimage of reconciliation.” I do, however, take issue with the statement that a pilgrimage to Cuba “constitutes a humiliation and shows a lack of respect to the dignity of Cubans.” Be that as it may, the beauty of this heated debate is that people like me and Sylvia live in a country where we are free to discuss these issues openly. By contrast, people living in Cuba are oppressed as the Castro brothers dictate every aspect of their life.
It was in Santiago that the sad reality of religious and political oppression hit home. Me and one of my fellow pilgrims, Jose Carlos Blanco, were standing next to the media booth when all of a sudden we noticed intense commotion. A frustrated Cuban resident yelled “down with communism” during the Pope’s Mass. Cubans started running away from the scene while others like JC and myself just watched in awe. I later came to discover that this person was Andres Carrion Alvarez. Alvarez was smacked and hit over the head by Cuban officials and still remains under detention at the provincial state security office in Versalles, Santiago de Cuba.
Additionally, several individuals were arrested in Havana. On March 28, 2012, prior to the Pope’s second mass in Cuba, Alejandrina Garcia de la Rivas and Laura Maria Labrada Pollan, members of the Ladies in White—Damas de Blanco—were arrested before 6 a.m. The Ladies in White, relatives of former political prisoners, march every Sunday after Mass at Havana’s St. Rita of Casia Church to protest human rights violations by Cuba’s communist regime. The organization originated to protest the 2003 imprisonment of 75 Cubans connected to the Varela Project, an initiative promoting free elections and other political reforms. Those people and more than 50 others were released in 2011 under a deal brokered by Havana’s Cardinal. Most of those released went into exile abroad. The group has continued protesting on behalf of those prisoners still imprisoned in Cuba. Members have been attacked by what they describe as government-controlled mobs.
During his visit, the Pope urged the faithful to seek a humble and pure heart and trust in God in the face of evil. The Pope called for genuine freedom in one of the world’s most authoritarian states. The Pope’s holy mass at “La Plaza de Antonio Maceo”in Santiago came at the perfect time: the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the image of the Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre; so, after two papal visits, the Roman Catholic Church enjoys growing support from long-suffering Cubans. However, support from the Communist Party that rules this island nation can be described as reluctant at best.
Cuban priests say it remains nearly impossible to operate with a semblance of normalcy. They are prohibited from conducting the kind of church services or evangelical outreach that’s commonplace in the United States and Latin America. There’s a strain on religious freedom in Cuba that elsewhere in the Americas is taken for granted. Whether it’s being forced to celebrate Mass in someone’s crumbling home, or having government agents sitting in on sermons to keep a leash on what’s said from the pulpit. The Cuban government still won’t let the church build new places of worship. Only Roman Catholic churches that predate the 1959 revolution are permitted to be restored. Meanwhile, there are newer hotels in Havana. Still, in most cities across the country, buildings generally either predate the revolution or were constructed before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The Pope prayed “for the needs of those who suffer, of those who are deprived of freedom, those who are separated from their loved ones or who are undergoing times of difficulty.” He stressed that a nation founded on spiritual principles is necessary. As Americans, we live our lives with the knowledge that there is a higher law yet. America is great because we have been blessed by God. America is great because it has maintained that all human beings are endowed by God their creator with rights. That the source of those rights is not your king or your president, your laws or your government, but that you are born with them. People in Cuba are born with those same rights but, unfortunately, those rights are stripped from them before they take their first breath. If we expect Cuba’s regime to crumble on its own, we’re dead wrong. Instead, we should make it a priority to instill faith and hope in the lives of all Cubans not only in Miami, but also in Cuba. Wouldn’t it be great if Cuba can one day be like an America—a country that gives everyone hopes and dreams?
In a sermon at the Cathedral in Havana, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski called for Cuba to move away from the “spent ideology” of Marxism without embracing materialism. Essentially, he criticized Marxist ideology and urged Cubans “to be the protagonist of their own future.” Wenski’s homily on Tuesday was amazing. In fact, church goers gave him a sustained standing ovation. Wenski called for “soft landing” from Marxism and said the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church desire a political evolution that provides dignity to all Cubans who have been ruled since 1959 by the Castro’s.
While it was difficult to gauge the religious fervor of the Cuban people, the value of the trip was being there with the people. I think it opens the appetite to know more about each other. I was particularly impressed by the people I met around the island, both on the street and at the Papal Masses. It was great to speak with them, to find out how they lived, and to understand how they think. Cuban people have emptiness in their souls, and the Church has a great opportunity to fill that. Our group was fortunate enough to make a small difference by baptizing four kids into the Catholic Church.
Cubans are hopeful that the Pope’s trip will allow for new churches to be built in Cuba. My suggestion is that people don’t hold their breath. Although it is not the church’s role to inject itself into legal or political affairs, the church is an important agent in addressing Cuba with realism, humility, and change. Sure, it’s easier said than done, but they can do it with our help. After 50 years of failed U.S. policies—namely, the trade embargo—I think it’s time to revisit the topic and determine whether lifting the embargo can help facilitate change in Cuba. Clearly, any change will be gradual, but it has to start at some point.
After seeing Cuba with my very own eyes, it is my opinion that those who suffer most from the embargo appear to be the residents of Cuba, not the government. Although you may disagree with my opinion, what matters is that we come together and discuss the issues instead of putting them off. We should all come together and follow the examples set by those leaders such as Carlos Saladrigas, head of the Cuba Study Group, who encourage political and economic change in Cuba. Maybe one day we’ll all be able to have open dialogue in Cuba like we do here in America. Maybe one day the people of Cuba will be free again. Maybe one day each of us standing up for the liberty of Cuba will lead to a nation where people can enjoy freedom of speech, expression, and religion.

Many thousands of Hong Kong students and broader protest groups have been defying Chinese authorities for the last few days. China's Communist Party, the ultimate ruler of Hong Kong, looks unkindly at any right to protest. The students are aiming high for a liberalised voting system freer than before. Will the tanks of the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) crush them as they crushed an earlier generation of students at Tiananmen Square?
Two of the major figures in the protest are Joshua Wong, only 17, who lead the "Scholarism" movement against Communist indoctrination in Hong Kong schools and Benny Tai Yiu-ting, a Hong Kong University academic who created the Occupy Central With Love and Peace movement.
By mainland Chinese standards Hong Kong has it lucky – relatively prosperous, educated and almost free. Hong Kong is privileged by the "one country two systems" policy – part of the deal negotiated with Britain when Britain returned its Hong Kong colony to China in 1997. The policy allows for a version of democracy until 2047. The right of a committee to elect any candidates (no matter how communist) for leader of Hong Kong in 2017 is what the protests are about. The Communist Party wishes to appoint a small pool of authorised, pro-Communist candidates for the leadership position. As the current leader CY Leung, the "Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" is suspected of being a closet member of the Communist Party he is currently the main focus of protest anger.
Hong Kong protests against the central government of Beijing itself have been limited. A continuation of the protests, particularly any aimed at Beijing involves considerable dangers for the protestors.
So far Hong Kong authorities have been using a range of tactics to handle the protests. Protestors directly defied the authorities by centring their protest next to official headquarters of the Police, PLA and Hong Kong Government (scroll down half way for map). On Sunday authorities first tried to disperse the protesters with police using tear gas, pepper spray and batons.However this only swelled the numbers of protesters and hardened their resolve to maintain sit-ins blocking major roads on Hong Kong island. By Monday the government withdrew the police leaving a peaceful protest that is still causing economic disruption to Hong Kong. A regular public holiday on Wednesday is expected to boost protest numbers. What happens then may be violent or peaceful.
Direct defiance of Beijing could be fatal for protesters - but they are hoping and expecting that the international media and Hong Kong's special economic status will dissuade the authorities from cracking down too hard. Adding to the unpredictability of what may happen is the relative newness of China's President Xi Jinping, who only took power in 2012. If he sees the protestors as a political threat that may spread to mainland cities the protestors may be punished severely. The Chinese President, however, would be well aware of the national shame of Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989. In contrast most of the Hong Kong protestors would have little knowledge of Tiananmen Square because they are too young and even the Hong Kong media would censor many of the records of Beijing's more ruthless political acts.
If Beijing decides on a crackdown it is more likely that it will first send in anti-protest specialists, the paramilitary People's Armed Police (PAP), steeped in the tactics of crowd control. If the PAP is repulsed by numbers a lull may occur with the hope of peaceful dispersal through boredom. If a severe crackdown is ordered then the Tiananmen script may be dusted off with the infantry and armoured vehicles of Hong Kong's garrison being sent in. Such an attack might typically be launched at 3am to catch the students asleep and to minimise TV coverage.
Hopefully a more peaceful script will be followed. This may vary from community pressure where citizens remind the students that the economy of Hong Kong (jobs) are being disrupted with no end in sight. The Hong Kong government may plead that it will form a committee to consider student demands. Whether the government honours such an undertaking and doesn't subsequently round up the ringleaders is another thing.
An intermediate script of an arranged counter-demonstration of bussed-in Party faithful, as occurred in Great Olympic Torch mobilisation of Canberra, 2008, may also be a possibility.
In a few days we'll know what happened. The protests are bad for business in Hong Kong while a democratic Hong Kong is good for business in China. China's President Xi Jinping is an unknown quantity when his authority is really tested. In a China run by a Communist Party that is distinctly capitalist anything can happen.

Last week, Victor, a carpenter, came to my Lagos home to fix a broken chair. I asked him whom he preferred as Nigeria’s next president: the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, or his challenger, Muhammadu Buhari.
“I don’t have a voter’s card, but if I did, I would vote for somebody I don’t like,” he said. “I don’t like Buhari. But Jonathan is not performing.”
Victor sounded like many people I know: utterly unenthusiastic about the two major candidates in our upcoming election.
Were Nigerians to vote on likeability alone, Jonathan would win. He is mild-mannered and genially unsophisticated, with a conventional sense of humor. Buhari has a severe, ascetic air about him, a rigid uprightness; it is easy to imagine him in 1984, leading a military government whose soldiers routinely beat up civil servants. Neither candidate is articulate. Jonathan is given to rambling; his unscripted speeches leave listeners vaguely confused. Buhari is thick-tongued, his words difficult to decipher. In public appearances, he seems uncomfortable not only with the melodrama of campaigning but also with the very idea of it. To be a democratic candidate is to implore and persuade, and his demeanor suggests a man who is not at ease with amiable consensus. Still, he is no stranger to campaigns. This is his third run as a presidential candidate; the last time, in 2011, he lost to Jonathan.
This time, Buhari’s prospects are better. Jonathan is widely perceived as ineffectual, and the clearest example, which has eclipsed his entire presidency, is his response to Boko Haram. Such a barbaric Islamist insurgency would challenge any government. But while Boko Haram bombed and butchered, Jonathan seemed frozen in a confused, tone-deaf inaction. Conflicting stories emerged of an ill-equipped army, of a corrupt military leadership, of northern elites sponsoring Boko Haram, and even of the government itself sponsoring Boko Haram.
Jonathan floated to power, unprepared, on a serendipitous cloud. He was a deputy governor of Bayelsa state who became governor when his corrupt boss was forced to quit. Chosen as vice president because powerbrokers considered him the most harmless option from southern Nigeria, he became president when his northern boss died in office. Nigerians gave him their goodwill—he seemed refreshingly unassuming—but there were powerful forces who wanted him out, largely because he was a southerner, and it was supposed to be the north’s ‘turn’ to occupy the presidential office.
And so the provincial outsider suddenly thrust onto the throne, blinking in the chaotic glare of competing interests, surrounded by a small band of sycophants, startled by the hostility of his traducers, became paranoid. He was slow to act, distrustful and diffident. His mildness came across as cluelessness. His response to criticism calcified to a single theme: His enemies were out to get him. When the Chibok girls were kidnapped, he and his team seemed at first to believe that it was a fraud organized by his enemies to embarrass him. His politics of defensiveness made it difficult to sell his genuine successes, such as his focus on the long-neglected agricultural sector and infrastructure projects. His spokespeople alleged endless conspiracy theories, compared him to Jesus Christ, and generally kept him entombed in his own sense of victimhood.
The delusions of Buhari’s spokespeople are better packaged, and obviously free of incumbency’s crippling weight. They blame Jonathan for everything that is wrong with Nigeria, even the most multifarious, ancient knots. They dismiss references to Buhari’s past military leadership, and couch their willful refusal in the language of ‘change,’ as though Buhari, by representing change from Jonathan, has also taken on an ahistorical saintliness.
I remember the Buhari years as a blur of bleakness. I remember my mother bringing home sad rations of tinned milk, otherwise known as "essential commodities"—the consequences of Buhari’s economic policy. I remember air thick with fear, civil servants made to do frog jumps for being late to work, journalists imprisoned, Nigerians flogged for not standing in line, a political vision that cast citizens as recalcitrant beasts to be whipped into shape.
Buhari’s greatest source of appeal is that he is widely perceived as non-corrupt. Nigerians have been told how little money he has, how spare his lifestyle is. But to sell the idea of an incorruptible candidate who will fight corruption is to rely on the disingenuous trope that Buhari is not his party. Like Jonathan’s People’s Democratic Party, Buhari’s All Progressives Congress is stained with corruption, and its patrons have a checkered history of exploitative participation in governance. Buhari’s team is counting on the strength of his perceived personal integrity: his image as a good guy forced by realpolitik to hold hands with the bad guys, who will be shaken off after his victory.
In my ancestral home state of Anambra, where Jonathan is generally liked, the stronger force at play is a distrust of Buhari, partly borne of memories of his military rule, and partly borne of his reputation, among some Christians, as a Muslim fundamentalist. When I asked a relative whom she would vote for, she said, “Jonathan of course. Am I crazy to vote for Buhari so that Nigeria will become a sharia country?”
Nigeria has predictable voting patterns, as all democratic countries do. Buhari can expect support from large swaths of the core north, and Jonathan from southern states. Region and religion are potent forces here. Vice presidents are carefully picked with these factors in mind: Buhari’s is a southwestern Christian and Jonathan’s is a northern Muslim. But it is not so simple. There are non-northerners who would ordinarily balk at voting for a ‘northerner’ but who support Buhari because he can presumably fight corruption. There are northern supporters of Jonathan who are not part of the region's Christian minorities.
Last week, I was indifferent about the elections, tired of television commercials and contrived controversies. There were rumors that the election, which was scheduled for February 14, would be postponed, but there always are; our political space is a lair of conspiracies. I was uninterested in the apocalyptic predictions. Nigeria was not imploding. We had crossed this crossroads before, we were merely electing a president in an election bereft of inspiration. And the existence of a real opposition party that might very well win was a sign of progress in our young democracy.
Then, on Saturday, the elections were delayed for six weeks. Nigeria’s security agencies, we were told, would not be available to secure the elections because they would be fighting Boko Haram and needed at least another month and a half to do so. (Nigeria has been fighting Boko Haram for five years, and military leaders recently claimed to be ready for the elections.)
Even if the reason were not so absurd, Nigerians are politically astute enough to know that the postponement has nothing to do with security. It is a flailing act of desperation from an incumbent terrified of losing. There are fears of further postponements, of ploys to illegally extend Jonathan’s term. In a country with the specter of a military coup always hanging over it, the consequences could be dangerous. My indifference has turned to anger. What a staggeringly self-serving act of contempt for Nigerians. It has cast, at least for the next six weeks, the darkest possible shroud over our democracy: uncertainty. | <urn:uuid:72ba881e-b8d0-4711-91a7-e1d3c7b0c783> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/02/nigeria-election-democracy-deferred/385341/ | 2021-11-30T04:21:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358903.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130015517-20211130045517-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.982521 | 1,656 | [

Below is a video I recorded on the topic above. Below that is a transcription of the video. It's probably just easier to watch the video....
Hey guys, Jono from EcomX SEO here, hope everyone's going well this week with all the craziness around the world.
Just had a question in the Facebook group about how to deal with ... or the question was particularly about changing a theme and consolidating pages and products, and how to deal with that without losing any existing traffic. There's many different reasons you might want to remove products or change products or consolidate different pieces of a site or a store into other areas. So for example, let's say you've got a very well selling brand of a particular product, and that brand stops manufacturing that particular product, but you find another brand that does the same product, but you want to make sure you don't lose all that existing traffic you had to that product page.
So there's we can deal with that, and you could just change the content on the particular product page and maintain the existing product page. So you essentially swap out the brands. The problem with that is most times in the URL, which is a little more permanent in a Shopify store. And then on any site that you probably more than likely will have the brand name in the URL. So then you wouldn't be able to just change out the content on the page because the old brand will still be in the URL. So that's one reason you might want to do it possibly.
There's a new version of a product has come out and you just want to consolidate into a new product and make sure you get some more of the new product features into the URL. Because as we know, the URL is extremely important for our optimization. So there's many, many different reasons. So I'm just going to start at the basic level in this group, there's a lot of people who are just starting. So some of this stuff is new, and some of you are all over this stuff and are very experienced, so I'm just going to go through the basics of it, just for those who don't know much about it and they're just learning.
So, let's say in example where you're going to create a brand new product page because the old brand has stopped making that product. And that product page is indexed in Google with that particular URL. If you just deleted that product, so stop selling it all together and created a new product, then what happens is that URL will stay in Google's index for a period of time. It can be up to, I've seen them stay in the index up to three months, but generally a few weeks they'll stay in the index. If they click on that URL from a browser, it will go to what's called a 404 page and that's essentially telling the user and also Google, as the Google bots come in, that this page does not exist anymore.
And then what will essentially happen more than likely the user will click away and go to another site, because what they were looking for is not there. They may navigate to other areas of your site, but it's just not a great user experience in any sense. And because Google comes in and sees a 404 it's not a good signal for Google either. So there's a number of different ways we can deal with that, and they're called redirects. Now, what a redirect is, is a protocol for browsers. And then it's universal with Google as well. If you set up a redirect, physically what happens is when someone clicks on that link in the search engines and that link you may have dispersed elsewhere around the net.
So for example, in your social media profiles, it might be on another blog post. If someone wrote about your product, and they're not going to know that the URL has changed. So what happens is, someone clicks on it and it will re physically redirect them to the new page. Now there's a number of different redirects, but the most common one to use is called a 301 redirect, which is a permanent redirect. And what this basically does physically, it will redirect the user, but then also for Google and any other bots that are coming in, it tells the algorithm that it's a permanent 301 redirect and this is where the new page is.
But not only does it redirect the user, it redirects all the elements and the metrics of the old page to your new page. So if you have a heap of external links pointing to the old product page, internal links pointing to your product page, if you're getting 100 visitors today to that product, you'll be able to redirect those visitors through. So you maintain all the benefits you have of that product page to the new product page. So it's really important. We still get a lot of clients come in and they change products and they just delete them, which is number one, it's a missed opportunity, but you also can create problems because you end up with a heap of 404 pages.
And even though they drop out of the index over a period of time, Google still sees those 404 pages, and it's just not a great signal for them. So, you don't really want any URLs anywhere that that are not live. So you want to have that redirect set up. Luckily, it's really easy to do. Shopify, they didn't have it initially, but Shopify has a native 301 redirect set up and I'll go through that in a second. You can redirect more than one page to another page, and you can do this externally as well. So you can redirect essentially any page from any website, if you own that.
So if you have access to to the site, you can redirect that page to another site. So you can even redirect to someone else's page or URL if you need to. So it's very flexible. You just need access to basically the editing side of a particular site or of a store. There's a couple of things you just need to keep in mind though. You want to try and keep the relevancy of what you're redirecting from, to what you're redirecting to. So, let's say you've got a collection, you've got a general store, and you've got one collection that you want to re that you're not selling anymore, you don't want to redirect all that non-relevant traffic and non-relevant metrics to a completely new collection that's got nothing to do with that category.
So you just need to be a little bit careful about that. What would make more sense in that case is to create, for example a blog post about the old category, redirect that collection page or the category page to the blog post so you still maintain that traffic coming to the store, and you're still providing relevant information, but you're not necessarily selling that product. So, you just need to be a little bit careful how you deal with them. And the same with products, don't redirect from a product that's completely irrelevant to a new product.
Then if you're consolidating content or creating new products there's also that opportunity to re optimize that new page. So you can go away and do and be strategic about how you're going to create that. If you're setting up a new page to tweak the optimization, or if you're redirecting to an existing page, you can look at the optimization of that as well. So it has a number of different benefits. Now, any time you're doing a large number of 301 redirects or changing and the structure of your store significantly, or your site significantly, more than likely there's going to be some fluctuations in traffic and changes, and some traffic will drop off.
You'll pick up traffic elsewhere, but if you do it correctly, with all the things I've spoken about, generally you can maintain that traffic, and if you do it well, you can generally increase the exposure you get within Google. So now we'll go over to Shopify and really simple to do. So if you're say on a WordPress site you'd use a plugin, or you can even do it in what's called the HT access file on the server. With Shopify, the only way we've got access to do it is through the [inaudible 00:08:40] or there's actually two ways. You can use apps, but there's no need really to use apps unless you're doing them in bulk, because Shopify has a native way of doing it.
So down here in the search engine listing preview, this is where the URL is and this is what is going to be a changed. So let's say if you change the URL here, you'll see this dialog box pop up, and there's a checkbox. So, when you change URL, if you change URL of an existing collection, existing product, you can select this checkbox here. And then, so what we'll do just to show you at work. So that's our existing URL. So I'm just going to just going to copy the whole URL, put it in a notepad file. And then I'm just going to change the URL, select the redirect and then click save.
And then we'll grab that URL. Now, if we go back to the old URL, what should happen, and it sometimes doesn't happen in Shopify. And I'll explain that in a second, we put the old URL in the browser, and then redirect, and then you can see it redirects to the new URL. So now that 301 redirect is set up correctly. Now sometimes, depending on what theme you're using it, this doesn't work with Shopify. So what you need to do is go to ... and this is what I always check, go to Online Store, then go to Navigation, and you can see up here, the second code URL redirects. I click on that, and here you can actually see the URL redirects.
And if it doesn't work, more than likely it won't be in here, so you can create it manually. And then I've never had these not work if you do them manually. So, you can add in. So in this case, we would just add in. You don't need to add the first part or your core domain, you just need to add from where you're redirecting from survey collection, [inaudible 00:11:00] dog-joint-supplement, to collections. It's dog-joint-supplement-online. But you could set that up manually if it wasn't done using the dialog box. So in the case where you were possibly creating a brand new product page collection page, or you can do this with blog pages as well, this is where you would actually set your redirect.
So, in the example, if you were discontinuing a certain brand and you created the product under a brand new brand, this is where you would set up your new product page or collection page, and then you'd come and set the redirect from the old brand product or collection page, to the new brand product or collection page. And use this here. Now going deeper. For example if you were completely looking at restructuring the site or the store, so a brand new theme, or you're just really trying to optimize the entire setup and the content, it makes sense to then go away and essentially go through your optimization from scratch again.
So you'd come to something like Ahrefs or keywords everywhere, or whatever tools you're going to use. Google Keyword Planner, if you want a free option, is to come and actually look at your keyword research volume or do your keyword research. So you've got your volumes and your clicks that are coming through to your particular keyword you're looking at, and then make the decisions on how you're going to set up your URLs. So, I can't emphasize enough how important that is to take the time to do this to make sure you get your URLs correct. And then you can also look ... and this is what's good about Ahrefs, you get the keyword difficulty score as well.
So for example, instead of just, if you're looking to create a new collection with this keyword where you've got a volume of 6,000, but the keyword difficulty is 64, you might get a better return by creating one of these other keywords as your collection URL, and be able to benefit more quickly than if you went for this larger keyword. This is a broad example, but my point is just make sure you go and do that keyword research, if you're going to be making those major structural changes, you're going to have changes and fluctuations anyway, if you do that, so it makes sense just to go deeper into your research and make sure you're covering as much as the market as possible.
So to summarize the main thing with your consolidation, if you're going to go through this process, make sure you set up your 301 redirects properly. So you're not missing anything, and be rational about it. Don't redirect irrelevant traffic to a new page or a new product page, a new collection page. Yes you'll get the immediate benefit, if you're getting a lot of traffic to the old page, you'll get the immediate benefit of that traffic flowing through, but because it's irrelevant traffic you'll end up with high bounce rates, lower time on page and medium to long term, there's also the risk of reducing or having suppressions come in for those particular pages.
So, much better off to make sure you're doing it correctly and have that relevance organized and set up. So there's a lot more you can do with redirects. And there's a lot of technical stuff you can get into and use them for all sorts of reasons and strategies, but this is just a broad, basic overview of how it works and how you can use them. Thanks, I hope this was helpful.

In addition to marketing and PR for the horse world, I also write articles for equine publications such as The Horse and Equine Journal. In doing so, I often talk with people who are at the top of their game when it comes to their careers and ability to be subject matter experts.
I’ve often found that the bigger the ‘name,’ the more likely that person is to be prepared with their responses, generous with their time, and available for follow-up or additional questions. This makes everything proceed more smoothly, and is a big help to the person trying to tell your story, who is often doing so under deadline and other pressures.
Past interviews I’ve done have included top veterinarians (even an incoming president of AAEP), large-scale equine business owners, international equine researchers, and world-class equestrians, including Olympic medal winners. Despite busy schedules, they’ll carve out time for a phone or in-person interview, give me private contact information such as their personal mobile number or email address for any additional questions or clarifications, and have high-resolution images that can be used. While they might have had coaching by a public relations pro, they’ve also likely had some past media experience that’s helped them learn the ropes.
Preparing For Your Spotlight Moment
For your own horsebiz, journalists, bloggers, and photographers are the conduits to your audiences; they’re the ones who can help you tell your story and get your name into the media. You can never be too prepared for these media moments.
If you’ve never thought about media interaction as part of your marketing strategy, it’s worth spending some time to review, and to practice. Have a friend pretend to ‘interview’ you and see how you do.
- Are you prepared and articulate in your answers, or do you stumble on words or concepts?
- How do you come across on audio (I use a digital voice recorder, as do many journalists) or video?
- Do you say ‘ah,’ ‘um,’ or ‘like’ a lot? Or have other vocal habits that don’t come across well?
- Are you able to be calm, comfortable, and engaging?
I’ve coached clients for interviews; sometimes helping them identify the topics and reminding them they know more than they think they do is enough to help them feel confident for speaking to the media, but a little practice never hurt anyone! It’s like preparing for the showring…all the hard work happens back home during schooling, so you can really shine when the spotlight, and all eyes, are upon you.
I’ve found some excellent Media Interview Guidelines from the California Association of Realtors, and I’d also add in the following horsebiz tips:
- If you can, research either the interviewer and/or the media outlet before the interview. Knowing the interviewer helps you feel prepared for questions they might ask; knowing the outlet helps you understand their audience.
- Ask the interviewer about the story angle and focus of the article, so your answers can be targeted and concise. For example, if they’re interviewing you about newborn foals, you shouldn’t give answers that are about mature horses.
- If you’re being interviewed by a ‘mainstream’ journalist rather than an equine-industry one, be aware they’ll likely know very little about horses, so it’s your job to help them understand important details that are second nature for you.
- Have high-resolution (300 dpi) images ready to send in digital format, with appropriate photo releases signed and on file, and photo credits listed. Be sure you have permission from the photographer or copyright owner to use the image, and remember to include your own metadata in the image files! And, because of the seasonality of the horse world, think ahead for photo opportunities; take images in all seasons, of all aspects of your horsebiz throughout the year.
- If it’s a print article, ask the interviewer if you can review a draft for fact & quote accuracy before the story. I always ask my sources to do a review to be sure I’ve captured information correctly, since it helps everyone. But you also have to be available to review a draft and turn it around quickly.
Media opportunities can come up suddenly and when you least expect them, so taking time to be prepared will let you take advantage when they do arise.

“The starting point of all achievement is desire.”
Napoleon Hill, Author, Think and Grow Rich
The first and most important commandment of choosing and growing your business is to follow your passion.
Creating a successful business that you’ll love is impossible without passion, enthusiasm, zest, inspiration and the deep satisfaction that comes from doing something that delivers you some kind of buzz.
Passion is a source of energy from the soul, and when you combine it with a product or service that benefits others, that’s where you’ll find your magic.
Kevin Roberts, former CEO worldwide of advertising agency Saatchi and Saatchi, passionately believes that love is the way forward for business. Meeting peoples’ needs, hopes, dreams, and desires, or offering something which helps them solve problems for which they’d love a cure, is good for people and its good for business.
“For great brands to survive, they must create Loyalty Beyond Reason,” he writes in his book Lovemarks: The Future Beyond Brands. Roberts argues, with a ton of facts, and emotionally evocative images to support his premise, that traditional branding practices have become stultified. What’s needed are customer Love affairs. “The secret,” he maintains, “is the use of Mystery, Sensuality and Intimacy.”
Other experts such as Simon Sinek, author of the bestselling book Start With Why, and Robert Kiyosaki entrepreneur and author of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad books, may urge you to begin with rational, head-based logic.
I’m advocating a similar, albeit less analytical approach to begin with. But the premise is similar, to create something meaningful for yourself, and for the customers and clients you wish to attract, you must believe in what you are doing. Your business idea must matter. You must know why it’s important—to yourself and to others.
“‘Why’ is not money or profit—these are always the results. Why does your organization exist? Why does it do the things it does? Why do customers really buy from one company or another?” challenges Sinek in his book.
I would add, what is its purpose? Roberts, would add, how can you make them fall in love with you and inspire loyalty beyond reason?
When you discover and tap into your passion, you’ll find your why. You’ll also find a huge source of untapped potential that seems to be fearless and knows no bounds. Pursuing your passion in business is profitable on many levels.
Firstly, when you do what you love, this is most likely where your true talent lies, so you’ll stand out in your field. Passion cannot be faked.
Secondly, you will be more enthusiastic about your pursuits. You will have more energy and tenacity to overcome obstacles, and more drive and determination to make things happen.
When you do what you care most about and believe in with such a passion, your work will be not something that you endure, but something that you enjoy. More importantly, work will become a vehicle for self-expression.
Thirdly, passion attracts. As multi-millionaire businesswoman Anita Roddick once said, ‘We communicate with passion and passion sells.’
Ms Roddick founded her company, The Body Shop, on one simple premise—beauty products tested on animals was cruel, barbaric, unnecessary and immoral. Millions of men and women around the world agreed.
People like to do business with people who are passionate about their products and services. When global financial services company KPMG re-branded with passion as a core theme, profitability soared. Check out my presentation on Slideshare to find out how:
Hearts on Fire
The key to sound business planning begins from the inside out. First you need to determine who you are, who you want to be, and what you want to contribute to the world. In working this out, there is no better place to start than with finding out what sets you heart on fire and why.
Michael Jr. Comedy, a stand-up comedian and author, explains how discovering your why helps you develop options that enable you to live and work with purpose.
“When you know your why, you have options on what your what can be. For instance, my why is to inspire people to walk in purpose. My what is stand-up comedy. My what is writing books…. Another what that has moved me toward my why is a web series that we have out now called Break Time.”
Check out this clip from one of Michael’s most successful episodes http://bit.ly/1PnOTrH. You’ll see how working with passion and purpose awakens dormant talents and enables souls to fly higher.
“When you know your why your what has more impact because you are walking toward your purpose,” says Michael.
We’ll dive deeper into discovering your life purpose in the following chapter.

Everyone is capable of passion; some people just need help taking it out of the drawer. Look for the clues. Often this involves noticing the times you feel most energized and alive, or when you experience a surge of adrenaline through your body.
Sometimes it’s the moments when time seems to fly. Perhaps it is something you love to do and would willingly do for free.
Passion is not always about love. The things that push your buttons can lead you to the things that you’re most passionate about.
Working long hours, too much stress, financial strain or a whole raft of other constant pressures can soon send you drowning in a sea of negativity—killing your passion and robbing you of the energy and positivity you need to make a life-enhancing change.
If stress is taking a toll on your life you may want to check out the first book in the Mid-Life Career Rescue series, The Call For Change.

Action Task! Find Your Passion
Real passion is more than a fad or a fleeting enthusiasm. It can’t be turned on and off like a light switch. Answering the following questions will help you begin to clarify the things you are most passionate about:
Love Is Where The Magic Is
Love is where the magic is. When you love what you do with such a passion you’d do it for free this is your path with heart. You’ve heard the saying, ‘when you do what you love, you’ll never work again.’ It’s true. Work doesn’t feel like a slog, it feels energizing.
As Annie Featherston, writing as Sophia James, shared in my second book, What Makes You Happy, “When you combine your favorite skills with doing something you completely and utterly love, you come home to your True Self and find your place of bliss. The result? Contentment—and more often than not, producing something highly marketable.”

Passion in Business
A good way to find your own passion and identify ways to turn it into a fulfilling self-employment opportunity is to look for examples of others who have started businesses they are passionate about.
Here are just a few of many examples:
A passion for bugs! Brian Clifford is passionate about helping people and bugs. He has combined his passion into a successful business as a pest controller.
“All the rats, all the maggots, all the cockroaches all over the place, these are the things that I love doing,’ he says. His business motto is, ‘If it bugs you, I’ll kill it!”
Check out his business here >> www.borercontrolwellington.co.nz
A passion for bones! John Holley has turned his passion for bones into a business, Skulls Down Under, selling skeletons to museums all over the world.
Check out his business here >> www.skullsdownunder.co.nz
A passion for Maori food. Charles Royal’s passion for finding a way to incorporate traditional Maori foods into modern dishes led him to start his own business – Kinaki Wild Herbs.
“I had learned a lot about the bush during my time in the army and have taken that knowledge through the years, developing food tours and cooking classes using what we gather from the wild. I love organics and making something out of nothing, but you have to know what you are looking for,” says Royal. Air New Zealand now serves pikopiko and horopito in its First and Business Classes.

“Passion is Everything-If You Don’t Have It You Will Not Succeed”
A love of good food and a lifelong dream to open their passion-driven business in London fueled Wellington restauranteurs Vivienne Haymans and Ashley Sumners’ move to the UK.
“We both felt we had gone as far as we could with our business in New Zealand and wanted to move further afield,” says Vivienne.
“I came here for a three-month holiday, secretly wanting to stay longer and build a business overseas. On arriving I discovered that London seriously needed a restaurant like our Sugar Club in Wellington. There was nowhere in London doing anything like it. I called Ash and a year later he also moved to London after selling our Wellington restaurant.”
They relocated the restaurant to Notting Hill in 1995, then to Soho in 1998, winning the Time Out “Best Modern British Restaurant” award in 1996 and “Best Central London Restaurant” award in 1999, along with several Evening Standard Eros awards.
Since then they have expanded and diversified their restaurant business, opening a chain of modern traiteurs (Italian-style delicatessens) that offer delicious, easy-to-prepare hand-made meals and great New Zealand coffee.
The first of these is called The Grocer on Elgin, situated in the heart of Notting Hill. Vivienne designed all three restaurants and ‘The Grocer on’ stores.
Like many people following their passion Vivienne and Ash faced significant barriers before finally making it big.
“It took Ash and I seven years to fulfill our dream of opening The Sugar Club in London. When we first arrived there were huge premiums being asked for restaurant sites.
Then, with the early 90s recession they were giving restaurants away but, like now, the banks were not lending. We had no property assets at the time, limited funds, a reference from our NZ lawyer, accountant and bank manager and a handful of NZ press clippings. The banks wanted property assets and UK business records. No less.”
Just when it looked like the obstacles were insurmountable, their passion for great food and design, the quality of the produce, and the integrity of its production, produced lucky fruit.
“We were offered a site by a landlord that we had had dealings with in the past. He liked what we did and gave us the lease. We developed the old Singapore Pandang into the Notting Hill Sugar Club. I borrowed an extra £5000 from my mum and paid her back in a month. It was an instant success and well worth the long wait.”
Vivienne says that following their passion is an important ingredient in their success.
“Passion is everything—if you don’t have it you will not succeed. It is hard work; your passion will pull you through the seriously bad times, which will always occur.”
Hot Tip! Gathering your own examples of passionate people and businesses is a great way to build confidence and generate your own business ideas.
Here are some things that other people who are self-employed are passionate about:
Here are some things that some businesses are passionate about:
What pushes your buttons or makes you angry? Having my manager threaten to ‘smash my head in,’ and working with others who were bullies and tyrants, the relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of caring for people, and numerous work restructurings, motivated me to gain my independence.
That and getting shingles—something I wrote about in my first books, The Call for Change, and also What Makes You Happy.
Shingles was definitely my body barometer sending me a red alert! As was seeing my colleagues suffer heart attacks.
As Neale Walsch, the author of Conversations with God, says, “Judge not about which you feel passionate. Simply notice it, then see if it serves you, given who and what you wish to be.”
So, as I’ve mentioned earlier, rather than become bitter, I thought how could I use my anger constructively to bring about change?
I decided I wanted to help people find jobs that made them happy, and I wanted to help victims of workplace bullying. That was my why and my what.
Stepping Stones to Success
I started a career counseling business for an established workplace counseling organization before going out on my own.
Working as an employee first gave me the confidence to fly free. I became more motivated when the CEO changed and the new boss tried to manage me. Increasingly, the job began to frustrate me.
It lacked challenge, my salary was capped, and I was finding it increasingly difficult to balance childcare. The final clincher, however, was when I did the math.
I worked out my hourly rate as a full-time salaried employee, versus what they charged me out per hour, and how much business I was bringing in for them, and came to the conclusion they were buying my skills, but they weren’t paying me enough. I could work less and earn and achieve more if I employed myself. I started to feel excited!
Action Task! Tune into Your Body Barometer
Notice the times you feel strong emotions. These could be annoyance, irritation and anger. Or they could be a sense of excitement, a state of arousal, a feeling of limitless energy, a burning desire, a strong gut feeling, a feeling of contentment or determination. Notice these feelings and record them in your passion journal.
Go deeper. Ask, “How could I make a living from my passion?” or “How do others make a living from things that excite or motivate me?”
Explore possibilities. Even a simple Google search, or generating ideas with others could get you started down the right path.

A popular venue has installed another huge arena as part of an exciting expansion.
The David Broome Event Centre opened its new 100m x 72m all-weather on Saturday (6 April), with competitors at its unaffiliated junior winter league finals the first to jump on the surface.
“It is a really good size,” James Broome told H&H.
“We can have two really good-sized normal rings and enough space for three if we need them. This time last year it was so wet we had to have three jumping arenas on our other arena, which is the same size [inside the fence]. Where this one is going to be different is we have probably 20% extra outside, which will be used for all-weather derby obstacles.”
He added the centre is planning to build a derby bank, devil’s dyke and table in the new arena, to be ready in the coming weeks.
Provided by Equestrian Surfaces Ltd, the NAF-sponsored Magic All Weather Arena features Ebb & Flow technology, which controls the moisture content of the surface.
“This is a system we found about 18 years ago [when putting in the other arena] and it is all computer controlled,” said James.
“From using it on our existing arena, we know exactly what settings to use for dressage, jumping or carriage driving.”
More projects are planned, with James adding the arena is a “catalyst” for a fairly major development of the existing facilities.
“We are really lucky to enjoy huge loyalty from our riders, we have two [major] shows that sell out of stables before the schedules are approved,” he added.
“It is a two-way relationship — trust builds trust. It is all to give something back to the riders and it is nice for people to see we are investing their money. It is nice for them to come back each year and see something new, whether it is a new toilet block or judges’ boxes; it is good to see progress.
“We do try to invest what we can back into the venue.”

The venue is also reviewing whether to develop some of their existing grass arenas to use the space “in other ways”.
“We are always trying to do something; what this arena will mean is we can run a show with potentially four or five rings, all on a surface,” said James, meaning this will allow them to continue to run shows even when the weather is very wet.
Somerford Park Farm in Cheshire is another venue to have recently put in a major investment in its facilities, with a new 120m x 75m outdoor.
H&H has also covered significant investments by Blue Barn, Keysoe and Saddlesdane (news, 28 March).

What is human trafficking?
In a nutshell, human trafficking is the buying and selling of women, men and children for profit.
The United Nations defines human trafficking as:
the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.
Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs. | <urn:uuid:3f0ba5b5-e9af-4437-9852-4fc8c03a4627> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.justiceandcare.com/human-trafficking/ | 2021-12-04T21:59:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363125.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204215252-20211205005252-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.900821 | 159 | [

ObjectScript provides multidimensional arrays, which you reference using subscripts. But arrays in ObjectScript are different, and more flexible, than regular arrays. First, just like regular, unsubscripted variables, you don't need to declare arrays, no matter the size or number of dimensions. Arrays are sparse; no space is reserved ahead of time, and no space is used until it's needed. As an example, consider an array used to keep track of the positions of pieces for a game of checkers. A checkerboard is 8x8. In other languages, an array Board(8, 8) would use 64 memory locations, even though no more than 24 positions are ever occupied by checkers.
USER>set a(3, 7) = 4 + 2 USER>write a(3, 7) 6 USER>
You can picture arrays as lists or tables, as in the simple 3x3 array A shown here. But in order to understand the additional flexibility ObjectScript arrays give you, you should learn to picture them as ordered trees. On the next few pages, you'll see an animated example of an array as an ordered tree, and this will also serve to introduce you to the other capabilities of arrays. | <urn:uuid:234fb50d-bfe7-449c-83ae-220f3fb8ba7e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=TOS_ARRAYS | 2021-12-08T04:43:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363437.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208022710-20211208052710-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.9361 | 258 | [

Obviously I’m obsessed with Pumpkin Spice All The Things right now…but you’re okay with that, right? This Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread will satisfy your cravings too!
Before we talk about how perfect this Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread is for fall, I have an announcement.
I RAN A HALF MARATHON. And I finished it!
I didn’t think I could make it and I was so nervous. Then I started and it all just kind of went perfect. I ran more than I normally do and finished in less time than I thought I would.
More than the actual finish, just DOING the whole thing has made me so proud of myself. All my life I’ve said I’m not athletic, I’m not a runner, I could never run a 10k let alone a half marathon. I’ve spent the last 6 months proving that wrong: I may not like running but I AM a runner. And I CAN do anything I set my mind to.
Let this inspire you to do something that you think you can’t do but have always wanted to. What is your goal? Go for it- you can do it. And it’ll feel so good when you accomplish something you never thought you could do.
I also never thought I could make my mom’s banana bread better…but I did. I added pumpkin spices and a pumpkin spice glaze to the top.
Add this to your fall bucket list, people, you won’t be sorry.
I started this recipe with my mom’s banana bread. Have you tried that recipe yet? It gets a gorgeous crack right down the center that’s perfect EVERY time.
I know, why mess with an original? Because I’m me, that’s why. I had to FALLIFIZE my mom’s banana bread recipe. Yes, fallifize – I created a word. It means “to make everything into something that fits with fall”. LIKE PUMPKIN SPICE.
I added a hefty dose of my favorite spice to the banana bread recipe itself AND to the glaze. I’m sorry, but I now think every bread should have a glaze. It’s a powdered sugar glaze made with heavy whipping cream (a MUST) and the spices. You pour it all over the top of the bread and then you lick the bowl clean.
I made a few other easy changes to the recipe too: I reduced the sugar to compensate for the glaze and I used oil instead of butter. Sometimes I just want to stir by hand and not use a hand mixer. Is anyone with me?
The result? A fluffy and indulgent sweet and fall spiced banana bread. This one’s a keeper, yo’.
So yes, before you comment, there is NO pumpkin in the recipe. LOL, it’s Pumpkin SPICE banana bread. 😉 Just in case you were wondering…
Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread
For the bread:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 overripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 7 tablespoons sour milk or add 1 teaspoon vinegar to the milk to sour it
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups all purpose flour
For the glaze:
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x5 or 10x5.5” loaf pan with shortening or butter and coat it with sugar. (You do this like you would grease and flour a pan. Grease it first, then add about 2 tablespoons sugar to the pan and move the pan side to side until the bottom and sides are coated with sugar. Do NOT substitute cooking spray for the butter. You can skip the sugaring and just use cooking spray, if you wish.)
- Stir oil, sugar, and salt with wooden spoon or spatula. Set aside.
- Add bananas, eggs, milk, vinegar, vanilla, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice to a blender jar and blend until smooth.
- Pour half the banana mixture into the oil mixture with 1 cup of flour. Stir until just incorporated, then add the remaining banana mixture and flour. Stir until just incorporated. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean alongside the crack. (If you put the toothpick in the crack it will come out with just a little batter/crumbs sticking to it.) The edges will be a dark brown and there will be a nice crack down the center. (There is a wide range of cooking time because all ovens bake differently, as do all pans. My banana breads never bake in the same amount of time!)
- Cool completely before removing loaf from pan and frosting.
- To make the frosting: whisk powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in vanilla and 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, adding more cream as needed for consistency (up to 2 tablespoons). Frost banana bread. Chill to set. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or slice and freeze for up to 1 month.

Almost forty years ago this was the ultimate object of my automotive lust. It was the best car in the world and one of the most beautiful ones, so naturally I wanted one. I’d been obsessed with Mercedes since my very youngest days; with the arrival of the SEC, I was utterly consumed by desire. I could have killed for one.
A few years later in 1989, the year this 560SEC was made, I could have easily written a 80k ($170k adjusted) check for one. But by then my lust had turned to apathy, bordering on repulsion. Funny how feelings can change, if you allow them to.
1981, the year that the sleek new Mercedes W126 SEC coupe arrived, was also the year I became General Manager of KSCI-TV in Los Angeles. I was only 28 and my salary was still quite modest, so a Mercedes, never mind an SEC, was utterly out of reach. So I settled for a cheap American facsimile.
Admittedly, my early lust for these was blunted a bit by the lack of a mission-appropriate power plant, as the initial US-market coupe only came in 380SEC form, with a 3.8L V8 making all of 155hp, or essentially the same as my lighter Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. That was just ok for 1982, but expectations were changing as the energy crisis receded from memory.
That led to a booming gray-market business for federalized 500SECs, along with other Mercedes models, all of which were in great demand in Southern California and elsewhere at the time.
When one of our biggest clients at KSCI showed up to take me to lunch in his new blue 500SEC, the surge of desire that came over me was very palpable, as if a blast of a hormone had been released in my body and was now coursing through my arteries and impacting every fiber of my being. It was almost too much to bear. I want this!
I remember every detail and sensation of that ride to a new yakitori restaurant in Beverly Hills—most of all my profound envy. How could this guy, a Japanese who bought a block of air time at KSCI to run Japanese-language programming, afford this? I found out all-too soon: he was a slick operator who specialized in entertaining corporate executives visiting from Japan in all manner of ways, including sleazy and illicit ones, resulting in fat advertising contracts. I didn’t tumble to this fully until after he had manipulated naive me too, in order to give him a block of better airtime that had been contracted to a competitor of his that he could then use to secure a daily news program from NHK in Japan.
His method was the same, in reverse: He took me to Japan and entertained me there. And I didn’t fully tumble to actual impact until I signed that contract and had to let the other guy know that he had been screwed. It was one of those painful loss of innocence moments after which you’re never quite the same. So this is how the business world actually works? And here I thought it was all done by objectively weighing the pros and cons.
In 1985 I left KSCI to start a new Spanish-language station (KVEA). My senior partner—who drove an S-Class sedan, naturally—negotiated five year employment contracts with our New York based financial backers that included a company-paid car, lease payments not to exceed $500 per month. Thanks to dropping interest rates, I was able to get a new W124 300E for a five year lease for $499/month. As it turned out, that seriously ruffled some feathers in New York even though it was within the $500 limit. Apparently they thought I had leased an S-Class, clearly an affront to their sense of where I fit into the corporate ladder at the age of thirty-two. S-Classes is what they drove, and they were the big shots, who all smoked big Cuban cigars in the meetings I attended in New York. I had to take my reeking suit off and hang it outside to air before Stephanie would let me in the house.
I finally had my Mercedes, and I loved it dearly. And thanks to its ultra-slippery shape, it was actually a few miles faster (140 mph vs. 137) than the 500SEC/SEL that Mercedes officially brought over starting in 1984, undoubtedly in response to the growing number of gray market 500’s. Given that it cost less than half as much as an SEC, my 300E was a very good compromise. My Mercedes itch was being well-scratched.
As much as I loved my superbly-sprung ride, my corporate ride was not nearly as smooth. Our real backer was the notorious financier Saul Steinberg, who made a fortune before the age of 40 through very aggressive takeovers and greenmail. Steinberg became famous for paying himself outrageously large sums from the public companies he controlled. As such, he was an influential factor in the dramatic increase in CEO and executive pay starting in the 1980s, which dramatically accelerated the growing inequality in the US. As other CEO’s saw what Steinberg was paying himself, they said why not me? Why not indeed. Who was going to stop them, when there was a very strong trickle-down effect in the board room, with board members and other officers and executives all happy to accept bigger salaries and look the other way.
Since 1979, CEO pay has increased by over 1000%, while pay for “average workers” increased by 11.9% since then. Back in 1965, CEOs average pay was 20 times that of average workers; now it’s closer to 300 times. It was a trend (along with some others that started in the 1980s) that I read about all-too often in the WSJ, and it made me increasingly uncomfortable. Undoubtedly my European background and my embrace of some pretty radical politics in my youth were the cause. That and seeing the lifestyle of the rich and famous play out in real time.
1989 was the was the final year of my five-year employment contract that had been negotiated by my senior partner, which included an annual bonus based on a certain percentage each year of the gross sales and net income of KVEA, back in LA, even though I was now running the start up station for Telemundo in San Jose. In the first couple of years, that didn’t amount to much. But KVEA turned out to be every bit as successful (and more) as I had projected in my original business plan. In 1988, that bonus was some $200k. And in 1989, it was close to $600k ($1.3 million adjusted). Yowza. How did I feel about that?
Probably not the way most guys at the age of 36 would feel about being handed a check for that amount. I remember the details perfectly: Ken, the station controller, popped his head in my office to tell me that New York had just approved the payment, and that he was going to have Maria, the accounts payable clerk, make up the check for me.
Maria was an angelically-sweet young Latina who had a grueling almost two-hour long commute (each way) from the little town of Hollister. Her salary then was about $18,000 a year or so. She was married and they were expecting their first baby. Like most of our Latina employees, her mom was going to take care of the baby while she was gone some twelve hours each day. Maria was always cheerful, polite, trustworthy and worked very diligently. I could not think of a better employee.
About twenty minutes later, Maria knocked at my open door, saying she had a check for me. A mix of embarrassment and shame came over me, and I struggled to make eye contact with her, as she handed me a check for some $490k (net of tax withholding). I felt like I owed her an explanation. Did she think this was connected to KSTS here in San Jose, which was still struggling to break even in its second year? And where we were always reining in costs? We were both trapped in a typical big boss – little employee situation, and there was no easy way out of it. We could only guess what the other was thinking, although I doubt she would guess mine. This is how the world worked, right?
The only words that stumbled out of my mouth were “thank you”, but they felt utterly awkward—never mind inappropriate—for the occasion. Thank you? That check represented some 33 times what she made in a year. And what exactly did I do to deserve it? Be white, tall, with hair and relatively good looking? And be at the right place at the right time with those attributes? Luck, in other words: Genetic, geographic and temporal.
Reality check: there’s no such thing as a “self-made man”.
Since the five -year company lease on my 300E ended now too, I could have just driven over to Stevens Creek Mercedes-Benz after work and written a check for the $80k ($170k) that this SEC cost by then. “The Best or Nothing”. Yup; these were mighty expensive at the time, just before Lexus came along and knocked Mercedes’ pricing strategy off its lofty perch. But it was going to be “nothing” for me.
More like an old cheap Volvo, actually. I knew that our next door neighbors and friends were going to be selling their 1984 Volvo 240 GL sedan. It was a low-mileage cream puff, and they were only asking $5,000 for it. Sure, I’ll take it. I’m over the whole Mercedes thing, and I’d rather bank the $450/month car allowance my new contract included.
By 1989 I had become increasingly uncomfortable with the corporate politics and most of all the embarrassing doings of Saul Steinberg, who celebrated his 50th birthday in 1989 with the world’s first million-dollar birthday party, which raised quite a few eyebrows in the process. Another key milestone in his colorful life. Then in 2000 his empire started to totally unravel, leaving him broke and having to borrow money from his mother, who eventually had to sue him for $5 million to try to get it back. A movie ending, except it would be hard to believe.
Meanwhile, I undoubtedly raised a few eyebrows when I showed up with the used Volvo at work a week or so later. Maria must have wondered…
I rather liked the Volvo; it was boxy, tall and rather narrow, so that was all good. The GL trim had very nice leather seats which were actually more comfortable then the 300E’s. The four cylinder and automatic made it poky in comparison, but it did the job for commuting just fine. I felt right at home in it.
The Mercedes was parked, waiting to be turned in to the leasing company. In an impulsive twinge of Mercedes-loss-to-be, I called the leasing company and made a really low ball offer; $12,500, IIRC. The lease was based on a significantly higher residual, so I figured they’d pass. But Lexus’ impact on the market forced Mercedes to lower the price on new W124s, and used prices were down some too. So they called back and said yes. And in a bit of back-sliding, I said yes.
Which meant that after only a week or so of rolling in a Volvo, I asked my neighbors if they wanted it back or whether I should sell it. As it turned out, they had a friend who was interested in it, so it all worked out ok. But I did own a Volvo 240 GL for a week, and part of me regrets not keeping it. It would have been perfect for Eugene—which the Mercedes was not—so it got sold before we moved up there in 1993.
So what did I do with all that money? Poured it into my new passion, our 1866 money-pit of a house in Los Gatos. It was pretty badly damaged after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and I decided to go bonkers and expand it by 50% and restore it, after practically gutting it. The cost-plus estimate started out at $350k; I ended up spending almost twice that amount. It was going to be our forever house, but the corporate life is almost never forever. Mine ended abruptly in 1992, and that whole story is here. I had to sell it at a loss, but the rest of it ended up in all of the rentals we know own in Eugene: one money pit turned into a dozen money-makers. A much better way to invest in real estate.
So that’s my story about the W126 SEC. Turns out that what I so desperately wanted when I couldn’t afford it wasn’t wasn’t compelling anymore once I did have the money a few years later. I was coming to see that money could buy something a lot more compelling now: the freedom to live like I really wanted to, doing the things I really wanted to be doing. Buying expensive cars is too much like taking drugs: a poor facsimile of the real deal.
Which of course explains why I’m doing this instead of buying a Land Cruiser.
Enough about me; since this is ostensibly a CC too, let’s pay our respects to my former lust object, and a well-used one at that. The funny thing is how utterly modest and understated it looks now, given that this was about the most effective way to convey wealth and status next to a Roller or Ferrari back in its day. Cars have gotten so loud and cartoonish. It’s much harder to get noticed than it was in 1982.
For 1986, the S-Class got a bit of updating, with aero 15″ alloy wheels (this one has aftermarket wheels), integrated aero headlights with those nifty wipers, and some other external details.
But the most significant one was under the hood, where the 5.5 L SOHC V8 now resided, making 238 hp @5200 rpm and 287 lb.ft of torque @3500 rpm. This put it in the sweet spot for American drivers, who much prefer the instant urge a big torque-rich engine provides than the maximum top speed that Europeans used to obsess on.
The interior was updated too, with a new pattern on the leather upholstery, door trim and a lighter shade of wood trim, if I’m not mistaken. There were a number of different functional differences too, including ABS, air bags, and all the other goodies that were hot stuff in 1986 and long ago became standard on the cheapest Hyundai.
I couldn’t see the odometer, but from the wear on that arm rest, I’m guessing this SEC has seen a few miles roll under its svelte body. That or someone likes to chew on leather arm rests. Maybe they were trapped in one of LA’s traffic jams and got really hungry.
True confessions: this is another reason I wouldn’t have bought one of these, given that I was a family man. The rear seat was tight, thanks to a 5.5″ reduction in wheelbase, all of it at the expense of rear leg room. No wonder the upholstery still looks like new back there.
So how did it feel, encountering my former lust object in the street that day? It provoked a lot of mixed feelings and memories, ones that I haven’t thought about in a while. It’s so low-key and understated, I could see myself in one; it’s just another old beater Mercedes. There’s something to be said for fulfilling an old desire.
But there’s also something to be said of being free of old desires and having new ones, and fulfilling them.

One-day exhibit at Sarratt to showcase results
African American seniors will display their life stories, photographs, art and more from a Vanderbilt University interdisciplinary project developed in collaboration with community groups Sept. 26 at the Sarratt Student Center.
“The Wisdom of the Elders: Life Lessons from and for African American Seniors” can be viewed in the Sarratt Center Promenade from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The exhibit, a retrospective from the program’s first three years, is free and open to the public.
The Wisdom of the Elders program has been serving African American seniors at the Murfreesboro (Tennessee) Parks and Recreation’s Patterson Park Community Center since 2012, according to Ifeoma Nwankwo, associate professor of English. She created Wisdom of the Elders, a combination public humanities program and health study, in academic partnership with William Turner, professor of human and organizational development, and James Powers, associate professor of medicine.
“We began by asking how literary studies can have a positive impact on health,” Nwankwo said. “Our participants have explored their family histories and then reflected on their ancestry through writing, clay sculpting, painting and other creative forms of expression. Now they have the pleasure of sharing their experiences and knowledge with individuals from other generations and communities.”
Wisdom of the Elders was funded through a mini grant from the Meharry-Vanderbilt Community Engaged Research Core to gather data on the impact of a mental health intervention engaging African American seniors aged 65 and older. Key components have included the production of an autobiography in print and/or visual media and intergenerational exchanges.
Nwankwo said that participants feel appreciated and valued as individuals with unique stories and perspectives on life. In addition, the program is preserving Tennessee history that is not likely documented anywhere else.
Wisdom of the Elders workshops are conducted by Murfreesboro experts in ancestry preservation, art and intergenerational history. “Participants come together to explore, document and preserve family history,” said Mary Watkins, one of the artists and workshop leaders. “They have formed a lasting relationship with their peers that goes beyond Wisdom of the Elders.”
Nwanko noted that participants have formed the African American Heritage Society of Rutherford County, which will work in partnership with Wisdom of the Elders to encourage people to research, value and convey their family history to younger generations. In addition, work is underway on a “how to” manual to share with communities across the country.
“All communities have people who are growing older and have the wisdom and knowledge that we treasure and want to pass along,” Nwankwo said. “However, we don’t want to turn people into only ‘founts of knowledge.’ Seniors need to be nourished intellectually, spiritually and emotionally while they are documenting their wisdom and helping put it into action for other generations and communities.”
Tom Sage, superintendent of the Patterson Park Community Center, said the program has brought new energy to the organization’s senior programming. “Our seniors from the surrounding historic neighborhood here in the inner city have a wealth of knowledge to share with others and this program has made that happen, to the benefit of the entire community.” Wisdom of the Elders won the Tennessee Recreation and Parks Association 2013 Four Star Award for Best Community Center Program in the youth, families, seniors or intergenerational category.
In an interview conducted for Wisdom of the Elders, senior Linda Vickers said she had the following message for younger people: “I want to communicate the importance of living a life of love, peace, wisdom. Stay in good health and think about what you can do to help others so they can have a better life. That would be the significant message that I would want to pass along to the next generation.” | <urn:uuid:f7f15b6e-ccb0-46ea-8d2a-092489895c8b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2014/09/18/elders-wisdom-exhibit/ | 2021-11-28T17:41:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358570.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128164634-20211128194634-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.957573 | 822 | [

When reading about Tasmanian dive sites, the praise for Eddystone Rock on the north-east coast was high. However, this is a boat dive but there is no local operation as it is a bit isolated. I had thought that I would do a shore dive at Binalong Bay near St Helens but when we looked at the site, it appeared to be too shallow and lacking in an decent amount of rocky reef (the water was so clear and shallow you could see the entire reef). As such, I was getting desperate for another dive so it decided to try Eddystone Point.
|Eddystone Lighthouse||Eddystone Lighthouse Keepers House|
Eddystone Point is located to the north of St Helens and east of Gladstone in the north-eastern corner of the island. It is a far way off the normal roads. There is a lighthouse here and a camping area. That is it for at least 50 kilometres.
|Eddystone Boat Ramp||The huge kelp at Eddystone|
Upon arriving at Eddystone Point, the wind was blowing from the south at over 20 knots so the only place to dive was the small bay that houses the boat ramp. This is right next to the lighthouse reserve. After gearing up, I walked the short distance to the ramp and entered the water. As it was so windy, there were no boats out (I could tell as there were no trailers) so it was going to be totally safe.
The water is very shallow, about two metres at the most for nearly all of the bay. I should have added a bit of weight as I was a little light. Anyway, there is a lot of kelp, some of it with fronds about one metre wide. There is a lot of weed and green algae as well. I followed the eastern side of the bay when heading north. There were lots of striped morwong, quite a few swimming anemones, many wrasse, and some seapike.
|A swimming anemone at Eddystone Boat Ramp||A striped morwong - there were heaps|
The depth finally increases as you get towards the open sea and I reached about 10 metres. Here there is some really large kelp that stretched from the bottom to about three metres. I headed west out here till I struck some more rocks and then followed these back to the south. Along the way I saw some huge abalones and a school of salmon and closer in, a school of garfish.
I actually came up in a small bay to the west of the ramp and had to go out a bit and back south again. No problem though.
I only did a 47 minute bottom time as I was diving by myself and I had promised Kelly I would be back in 45 minutes. At least by this time she could see me!
Visibility was about 10 metres and the water temperature 17.0°C in February 2008.
I could not recommend it as a must do dive, but if you are bored and need a dive when in the area, I suppose it is okay. | <urn:uuid:bc5b33b8-a3ee-4eee-8d1a-d2cee40664f3> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://michaelmcfadyenscuba.info/viewpage.php?page_id=694 | 2021-11-30T08:58:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358966.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130080511-20211130110511-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.989006 | 651 | [

Want to know what users really think about your site? Want to know for sure they are finding what they're looking for? The DC Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) now offers DC Government agencies to test their websites with real users at work or at home. As web designers and content creators, it is easy to think we know what users want. Now we want to put those ideas to the test.
Call for Volunteers
OCTO is currently seeking DC residents, business owners or others interested in volunteering to test new and existing DC.gov websites and applications. You can test from our Usability Lab or from your own home or office. Most tests take no more than 20-30 minutes. Interested? Sign up below!
OCTO recently partnered with SiteImprove to give agency communicators access to a simple yet powerful tool that provides visibility across their websites to improve the quality of the content on their websites and ensure they are accessible to visitors with disabilities. The new tool also gives agency editors a way to measure success by providing a “scoreboard” of where their site stands for quality, freshness, accessibility and more. As the scores climb, so does the quality of the content.
Among many features, SiteImprove will:
- Create a priority list of web pages that need the most attention, guiding editors through fixing non-accessible headings, images, links or forms.
- Provides at-a-glance views of key data, such as priority policies that your website follows, and accessibility and quality assurance issues.
- Automatically locates broken links and misspellings, and highlights an inventory of your content.
OCTO is already working with a handful of agencies to get them trained on using the new tools and those interested are asked to contact OCTO at [email protected].
OCTO now offers usability testing services to agencies looking for a more in-depth review of their site via our new usertesting.com tools. OCTO uses a task-based, think-aloud protocol where users will communicate their thought processes verbally while they work to complete tasks. We will request they vocalize what path they take to find information, what questions they have, and what surprises or confuses them as they go through the application. This method follows best practices with the private and public sectors and is strongly rooted in methodologies developed by leading usability experts – including Nielsen.
The usertesting.com service allows us to “look over the shoulder” of users as they perform our prescribed tasks by providing a video of the screen. One benefit of using screeners is that they perform these tests in a more comfortable, natural environment such as their own homes or office as opposed to a testing lab.
Want Your DC.gov Site Tested? Email [email protected] and we can schedule a test planning sessions and schedule the screeners. Or call Michael Rupert, OCTO Communications Director, at 202-657-3831. | <urn:uuid:b21d092e-9219-4336-8148-af2b3a1b4b8f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://octo.dc.gov/octo-usability-lab | 2021-11-30T08:56:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358966.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130080511-20211130110511-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.94291 | 616 | [

What We Do
Governors do not manage a school on a day-to-day basis but carry out an essential role in overseeing the development of the school. Governors may lend support in a variety of ways but all their responsibilities lead back to the core task of steering the school in its development. There are three central pillars supporting this endeavour.
- Strategic management. We help set aims and objectives. In addition we allocate and control Sheen Mount’s budget for staff, equipment and buildings.
- We are critical friends. We help the headteacher in taking decisions. We ensure that these decisions are achieving the required results.
- We make executive decisions such as appointing senior staff and ensuring accountability.
Being a critical friend underpins school governorship. We can be defined as a trusted person who asks provocative questions, provides information to be examined from another perspective, and offers critiques of a person’s work in a friendly way. A critical friend takes the time to fully understand the context of the work presented and the outcomes that the person or group is working towards. The friend is an advocate for the success of that work.
Governing bodies are established by law as corporate bodies, responsibility for actions and decisions lies with the whole governing body and not with individual members.
Why We Do It
Being a school governor is the most important voluntary role in education. The reasons why we do it vary, but five stand out.
- We value the feeling of helping children and a local school achieve its potential.
- It is a chance to work alongside a wide range of people with diverse and enriching experiences.
- We gain insight into the education system
- We are fortunate to live in a community that provides a safe and secure environment for our families and we want to give something back.
- It is a fantastic opportunity to develop a range of transferable skills.
How We Do It
The Sheen Mount School Governing Body is divided into three committees, Resources, Standards and Pastoral. The Full Governing Body, as well as each Committee, meets at least once a term, with meetings held more frequently as needed.
The term of office for a governor is four years, which allows Governors sufficient time to see plans through from initial discussion to implementation. Of course, some Governors remain for much longer and this has often been the case at Sheen Mount.
Where We Do It
A substantial time commitment is involved but nearly all preparatory reading can be done at home. Meetings are held at the school in the evenings. Governors are encouraged to, and regularly do, visit the school during the day. | <urn:uuid:307d2510-a119-48c0-b511-140ce4b857c8> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.sheenmount.richmond.sch.uk/page/?title=Governors&pid=11 | 2021-12-01T20:55:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360951.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201203843-20211201233843-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.961935 | 537 | [

Then it was time for the girls to take centre stage with Eimear McBrien achieving the fourth PB today by a great run in 21:20. Niall Armstrong ran 23:13. Conor O’Rawe finished his run in 25:39, closely followed by Conleth Conway in 25:40. Daniel Kelly completed Waterworks in 27:42. Next were the Blythe-Stones – Emma in 39:23 and Rachel in 39:30. Final finisher for the Juniors today was Aaron McCann in 44:51.
At Ormeau parkrun Eva Kissenpfennig completed another consistent run with a time of 23:09.
The McIlroy brothers were running at Larne parkrun. Both boys ran strongly, Matthew only one second slower than his PB in a time of 20:32 and Callum finishing in 22:31.
Karis Hamilton must have enjoyed her first parkrun at Stormont last Saturday as she returned for another attempt this weekend and achieved a PB of 29:17, knocking a full 38 seconds off her time.
Keep up all the good work on training nights, Juniors!

This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on October 1st and will be on the same day and combined with National Day Holiday. As it overlaps with the festival, the holiday will be from October 1 till October 8 this time, one day longer than usual. This period is also called ‘Golden Week’, because it is the biggest week for tourism in China during which hundreds of millions of Chinese people reunite with their families, plan trips and go shopping. On this occasion Chinese factories, (government) offices, embassies and schools are closed (or factories work at half power) and all citizens enjoy one week off. Chinese New Year Holiday and National Day Holiday are the only week-long holidays in China.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival. It is traditionally held on the 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese lunar calendar, which is in September or early October in the Gregorian Calendar. This festival is the second most important festival in China after Chinese New Year. Chinese people celebrate it by gathering for dinners and lighting paper lanterns, as they have long believed that worshiping the moon and eating together will bring them good luck and happiness. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean or lotus-seed paste, are eaten during the festival.
As a foreign company it is important to take into account this Golden Week when managing your Chinese staff, communicating with your Chinese partners, and planning your business trips and marketing campaigns. When properly executed, Chinese holiday marketing brings some of the highest revenue-driving times for brands and it can be the busiest time of the year for many marketeers. If you plan your China marketing strategy for the future, it is important and unavoidable to include the Chinese holidays and festivals into your marketing plan. In these periods, China is offering lots of opportunities for Belgian companies.
In China in general, and thus not only in a holiday period, the rapidly changing demographics, rising incomes, increased consumer spending and open business environment have all helped to make the Chinese market tremendously attractive to Western and Belgian businesses across a variety of industries. For a lot of companies, declining sales in their home markets have led to include China in the centre of their long-term growth strategies. China is a country that is constantly changing and its markets are evolving more rapidly compared to almost anywhere else in the world.
Please contact the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (BCECC) in case you need more information about the upcoming holiday period in China in the beginning of October or about business development in China. | <urn:uuid:36e9ecb5-0caa-4fa3-8ff4-ccf0576e0a68> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://bcecc.be/bcecc-newsletter-moon-festival-and-national-day-in-china-on-1-october/ | 2021-12-03T12:41:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362879.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203121459-20211203151459-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.964496 | 527 | [

Optimal Development Policies with Financial Frictions
61 Pages Posted: 24 Mar 2014 Last revised: 20 Aug 2021
Date Written: March 2014
We study optimal dynamic Ramsey policies in a standard growth model with financial frictions. For developing countries with low financial wealth, the optimal policy intervention increases labor supply and lowers wages, resulting in higher entrepreneurial profits and faster wealth accumulation. This in turn relaxes borrowing constraints in the future, leading to higher labor productivity and wages. The use of additional policy instruments, such as subsidized credit, may be optimal as well. In the long run, the optimal policy reverses sign. Taking advantage of the tractability of our framework, we extend the model to study its implications for optimal exchange rate and sectoral industrial policies.

How to send an employee's net pay to more than one bank account
Employees may choose to have their net pay allocated to different bank accounts by percentage or amount. The software allows unlimited direct deposit accounts for an employee.
Choose ACH File, then enter a line for each bank account to which the employee would like to send their pay.
If you choose the percentage method, the total percentage must equal 100%. (shown above)
For Amount Distributions, the last bank account on the list will receive any balance that remains. (shown below)
If an employee wants $10.00 to go to their checking, $20 to Savings, they can direct the remainder to go to a third account without specifying the amount. You must enter an amount on at least one line.
As long as more than one account is listed, you may leave the amount blank on the last account or fill in an amount. The software treats the last account the same either way. | <urn:uuid:3d6a528e-48df-4430-a526-6184b9a512f7> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://support.parishsoft.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000626632-PSA-Payroll-Direct-Deposit-How-to-send-an-employee-s-net-pay-to-more-than-one-bank-account | 2021-12-05T02:15:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363134.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205005314-20211205035314-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.943562 | 198 | [

I want you to read the two paragraphs below and as you’re reading them think which you would label ‘high functioning’ and which ‘low functioning’ based on your instincts.
P has regular sensory overloads and meltdowns, these cause P to feel physically ill and exhausted and mentally drained for days afterwards. They wear sunglasses and noise cancelling headphones whenever they leave their home. They have severe social anxiety and struggle to keep up with a conversation when with more than 3/4 people. They regularly go non verbal and often prefer to write things down. They struggle to express them self. They have a variety of stims, which can include self injury stims. They have severe executive function issues.
G loves telling people about their special interest and could talk for hours about it, they have a very good long term memory. G lives alone, is studying and is verbal. They have a talent in the arts and have performed live many times in front of large audiences. They are in a relationship.
So who did you give each functioning label to? (Was it P is ‘low functioning’ and G is ‘high functioning’?)
Maybe think why you thought what you did.
Here is one of a few reasons why functioning labels are something I hate. You see P and G are the same person, they’re both me!
Yes I purposely chose the bits of me people would associate with ‘low and high functioning’ and separated them, but it still stands all those factors are the same person. One day you may see me and I may seem to be ok, I may look like I’m coping socially, this is likely deceiving I’m likely panicking internally. Another day and I may be non verbal after a meltdown, so why base how you see me on a few hours or a day.
Functioning labels are also ableist. (I’m not an expert by the way and I may get terminology wrong along the way, I’ve just learnt stuff from reading things and coming to my own conclusions)
You see if someone is labelled ‘low functioning’ they’re deemed incapable, they often aren’t given a voice, often thought of as a burden. If someone is labelled as ‘high functioning’ they’re then often deemed ‘not autistic enough’ to have a voice in things related to autism, they aren’t provided with the care and support they need because people think they’re OK and can function.
Functioning labels serve no purpose, they’re ableist and illogical. You don’t know from someone’s exterior, behaviour, speech etc etc what they can or cannot do.
So yeah every time I see functioning levels mentioned or talked about I cringe and feel crap. | <urn:uuid:f334c404-13ab-4a26-a0e0-ae216af25af9> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://thetudorsmakemetic.com/2016/08/28/why-i-hate-functioning-levels/ | 2021-12-05T02:47:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363134.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205005314-20211205035314-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.974128 | 592 | [

I live on the west coast of Canada, a place full of wild adventure and bold colors. I’m the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, so I was born on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean where groceries were delivered by helicopter and trips to town meant riding with the Coast Guard.
I’m still an island girl, just on a bigger island now. Basically a plaid wearing, often distracted, paddle-boarding, crooked haired, not-so-trendy go-getter who loves to travel.
I feel most inspired when I’m mixing mediums and experimenting with combinations. My life on the west coast ...

From Better Homes and Gardens via the late Peggy Gjertsen, who brought the bread to a SAS recipe exchange pot-luck in the very early years of the company. Said Peggy (or maybe Better Homes and Gardens) on the recipe card, “A perfect partner for salads or soups.”
I love this bread in part because of the large amount of dill seed and dill weed used. You could substitute whole-wheat flour for up to half of the white flour and it would still be delicious.
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
2 ¾ – 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon dill seed
1 tablespoon dill weed
1 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg yolk
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in the ¼ cup warm water. Stir in 1 cup of the flour, the sour cream, egg, onion, sugar, butter, dill seed, dill weed, and salt. Beat by hand until well blended. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Continue kneading dough 5-8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover; let rise in a warm place, 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours or until double. Punch down, divide into three equal pieces. Cover; let rise 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough to an 18-inch-long rope. Place the three ropes side by side on a large baking sheet; braid ropes loosely from the center to ends. Press rope ends together to seal. Cover; let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes or until nearly double. Combine the egg yolk and 2 teaspoons water; brush atop loaf. Bake in a 350°F oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden and loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. | <urn:uuid:3a7e39e4-df12-432d-9582-3220e1396a21> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://gransbest.com/braided-dill-bread/ | 2021-12-08T07:37:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363445.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208053135-20211208083135-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.916466 | 452 | [

The proportion of scientists in the services sector has increased by 30 percent in five years, according to a new labour market report.
“The demand for qualified scientists to have the ability to solve problems and carry out analysis is on the increase,” says Marita Teräs, a strategist at Naturvetarna.
In October, the union organisation Naturvetarna (the Swedish Association of Professional Scientists) published its labour market report entitled New Opportunities in a Changing World. The report was based on salary statistics drawn from Association members and also on interviews with sector representatives and other kinds of sector-specific reports and articles.
“It is extremely important for us to be knowledgeable about all our member groups and at the same raise their profile in society. We also want to provide information about the labour market for scientists to the scientists themselves so as to support them,” Marita Teräs says.
Just over 60 percent of scientists work in the public sector, where 36 percent work for government and 26 percent for municipal authorities and county councils. One out of four is a postgraduate, and many of these work in research and development both within and without academia. The biggest labour market for scientists is in life science, followed by the environment and nature conservation and different kinds of jobs as inspectors. The report also shows that the proportion of scientists working in the services sector has increased by 30 percent over the past five years, at the same time that the proportion of scientists in life science in the private sector has shrunk by 10 percent.
The results were pretty much expected by the Association.
“There is not a lot that surprises us, but it was rather unexpected that there are so many working in different kinds of roles as inspectors. It is also heartening that the number of those working in research and development is not smaller than this; the figure is a stable one despite the cutbacks in life science which is the sector where most of the scientists are,” says Marita Teräs.
Most of the scientists who lost their jobs when the major pharmaceutical companies cut back on their operations have made a swift entry back in the labour market again, either by starting up new businesses or by finding employment in government and county councils. However, according to the report, many new graduates in science are finding it hard to get a job in the life science sector.
Of those who have recently graduated, an even larger proportion work for municipal authorities and county councils. For understandable reasons, there are also significantly more new graduates who have given research as their current job. It is also possible to see that different roles of inspector and environmental consultant seem to be the common type of subsidised employment scheme, whereas it is less common for new graduates to work in administrative roles.
As regards unemployment among scientists, there is no mention made of this in the report. That said, the Association are soon producing a new report which looks at the set up for those who graduated in 2010 and 2011.
“We have chosen not to talk specifically about unemployment in this report because the statistics we have are based on our members, and naturally the risk exists that those who are unemployed or change sector will leave the Association. Also, our view on what scientists are differs from that of the Swedish Public Employment Service,” says Marita Teräs, and points to the fact that Public Employment Service forecasts are based on all those who studied science for the equivalent of two years at higher education level, whereas the Association believes that a minimum of three years of study is needed if one is to be considered a scientist.
According to the Swedish Public Employment Service, a balance exists within most professional fields in science between the number of jobs and that of qualified scientists, and in some quarters the forecast is for a shortage of qualified scientists. Those having the greatest difficulty entering the labour market are new biology graduates.
“For our part as a University, we would like to develop certain aspects of the study programme to increase graduate employability and to help students to build networks. One example of this is job experience in the workplace, but one could also make more use of bringing in mentors from outside and encourage students to carry out their independent work outside the University. But naturally this would have to be weighed up against the rest of the programme content since no course of education can contain everything,” says Stefan Hulth, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Science. | <urn:uuid:1b06f3a0-24c6-4cbb-b5a3-5fbffe95adef> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://sciencefacultymagazine.se/en/natural-sciences-en/new-opportunities-for-scientists-in-professional-life/ | 2021-12-08T07:53:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363445.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208053135-20211208083135-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.972356 | 898 | [

The Good: Good flavor, Good ingredients, Inexpensive, Not the worst ice cream on the nutrition front
The Bad: Limited time nature, Could be more syrupy for my tastes!
The Basics: Edy’s Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream is good, though it is hardly the most maple of ice creams I have tried!
It is hard for me not to get excited about limited edition flavors of ice cream. I love ice cream and I adore variety to shake up my diet. When my wife told me of the existence of Edy's Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream, I began a quest almost immediately to find some! My quest was fulfilled today when the ice cream arrived in my little out of the way town. Edy's Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream was worth tracking down, but as I considered the ice cream two things occurred to me: I have had maple flavored ice creams before (and they were good) and more than anything else, Edy's is competing with simply pouring real maple syrup on vanilla ice cream with their Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream.
Edy’s Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream is fair competition for ice cream with maple syrup poured over it, but those who are likely to put maple syrup over their vanilla ice cream are likely to use more syrup than Edy's does in this ice cream. As a result, the vanilla ice cream in the Edy's Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream actually competes pretty effectively with the maple syrup in the ice cream.
Edy’s ice cream comes in a one and a half quart cylindrical container. The Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream is a smooth, creamy ice cream: the basic ice cream with maple syrup swirled throughout. The maple syrup in the ice cream is very effectively rationed, so while it might not be prevalent in a quantity that truly bowled me over, there was not a single bite of the Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream I've yet had that lacked some syrup in it. At (locally) $4.99 a half gallon, the Edy’s ice cream is an affordable, mid-range ice cream. This is a Limited Edition ice cream, available from Edy’s only for the past few weeks and for an indeterminate amount of time.
Ease Of Preparation
Edy’s Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream is a very basic ice cream. As an ice cream, preparation is ridiculously simple: one need only open the top of the container, scoop out a half cup and consume! There is no trick to preparing or eating the Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream.
The Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream smells lightly of syrup, though the scent of the vanilla ice cream base gives it a run for its money in the aroma department. The scent of both the ice cream and syrup comes out more as the ice cream moves toward its melting point.
The Edy’s Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream is perfectly blended to taste like vanilla ice cream and real maple syrup. The sweetness of the syrup is somewhat offset by the potent vanilla flavor, which manifests like a true vanilla - meaning it has a dry quality to its overall flavor palate. The syrup flavors the ice cream without ever overwhelming it, so the Edy's Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream never tastes so sweet as to be unbearable or in any way awkward.
Edy's Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream has no real aftertaste, which is somewhat surprising.
The Edy’s Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream is a very light, smooth, ice cream with no additives. The one and a half quart container represents twelve half-cup servings. In the half-cup serving, there are 100 calories, 15 of which are from fat. The one and a half grams of fat represent 2% of the RDA of fat, with 5% of one’s RDA of saturated fat coming in the single gram of saturated fat in this ice cream. One serving has 20 mg of cholesterol (that’s 7% of the RDA!) and 40 mg of Sodium (2% RDA). The only other real nutrient is two grams of protein, though there is also 6% of the RDA of Calcium and 4% of the RDA of Vitamin A in the Vermont Maple Syrup Ice Cream.
Edy’s has decent ingredients, too. Made primarily of Non-Fat Milk, sugar, and corn syrup, Vermont Maple Syrup is a decent ice cream! There is nothing unpronounceable in the ingredients list. Obviously, it contains milk ingredients. Some of the ingredients may be genetically engineered and the Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream is not marked as Kosher or gluten free.
Edy’s ice cream is both a frozen and a dairy product, so it is pretty obvious that it must be kept frozen in order to remain viable. Kept frozen it remains fresh for months (my half gallon had an expiration date of May 26, 2017).
The Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream is very light white ice cream that will stain dark colored fabrics. The syrup swirled throughout the ice cream is predictably sticky and it will stain lighter colored fabrics. When the ice cream melts and gets onto fabrics, it will require one to wash it right out. On nonporous surfaces, the ice cream wipes off exceptionally easily, at least with a hot cloth.
Edy’s Vermont Maple Syrup ice cream is good, but the syrup flavor is more subtle than I would have liked. Despite that, this is an ice cream well worth tracking down and trying!

Massage Therapy For Your Body
Shiatsu is an ancient form of Japanese bodywork that is based on traditional Chinese concepts concerning the circulation of qi through meridians (channels) of the body. Shiatsu borrows from Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion. Shiatsu is derived from a Japanese massage technique called anma. This type of massage therapy is also called"pausing the circulation of qi." It is often used for a variety of ailments and conditions in which the flow of qi is unbalanced.
Shiatsu has been applied as an alternative form of treatment to alleviate pain and treat conditions ranging from common aches and pains like headaches, back pain, and sore muscles to more serious ailments like digestive problems, heart diseases and strokes. In Japan, Shiatsu has been recognized as an important part of the Japanese tradition. Today, Shiatsu may be best known by its prolonged use as an alternative form of medicine. In Japan, Shiatsu may be known as Kyozaedo which translates into"massage without pain."
Shiatsu is basically a mixture of spiritual and physical wellness. The goal of this therapy is to decrease tension and restore natural balance. Shiatsu's aim is to eliminate pain by applying pressure to specific acupoints in the body which then reduces the pain. In addition to reducing pain, this sort of massage also helps to relax the client by releasing tension and restoring the energy flow in the body.
One of the main benefits of shiatsu is that it is safe and effective when done properly by a highly trained practitioner who also has extensive training in traditional Chinese healing techniques. However, Shiatsu can cause some serious side effects if it's not performed right. These side effects can range from mild discomfort to significant discomfort and even injury if not completed properly. In fact, some side effects may even develop into illnesses and other issues if they're not treated in a timely manner. Therefore, it is extremely important to treat any potential side effects of shiatsu before they become a problem.
To start the treatment, the therapist will place their fingers in addition to the subject's muscles or any other area that's painful. They'll then use various pressure points on the skin to help break the tension and restore energy flow. Some of the most common pressure points used by shiatsu practitioners are the shoulders, elbows, palms, wrists, lower back, neck, and feet. 대전출장마사지 Even though the precise techniques used will differ from person to person, the ultimate objective is to release any tension in the client's muscles. When the tension is released, the muscles will begin to relax.
During the massage, the Shiatsu therapist will use their thumbs, fingers, palms, and elbows to apply pressure to the targeted acupoints. They may also use finger pressure points such as the shoulders, elbows, hands, and feet. By applying consistent pressure, the therapist can help to increase the energy levels in the client's body. When the energy levels increase, the client will feel a feeling of greater comfort and well-being.
Shiatsu massage is also used to help treat injuries, stress, and chronic pain. Injuries can be treated using pressure points along with the massage treatment to encourage recovery. Stress can be reduced by applying pressure to the shoulders, elbows, and hands. Chronic pain can be relieved by stimulating the qi or vital energy within the client's body. Massage therapists may also use the various massage styles to deal with injuries, such as tennis elbow, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Massage therapists are able to identify the key regions of the client's body that require stimulation to promote health and well-being. This allows them to target the pain-causing problem areas in the appropriate way. Shiatsu massage therapists understand how to find the pressure points and how to apply the ideal pressure for effective therapy. Many massage therapies require a specific amount of time to perform. Some therapists allow their customers to take a brief break between treatments, allowing them time for relaxation and refreshment. Others do not have massage breaks. | <urn:uuid:4aee579b-4303-48dc-9d92-b45cf3495a34> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://checkmenu51.bravejournal.net/post/2021/08/31/Massage-Therapy-For-Your-Body | 2021-11-28T23:20:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358673.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128224316-20211129014316-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.958217 | 855 | [

Perhaps as clinical expertise with this new childhood prognosis will increase, its diagnostic efficiency will improve. These widespread, reliable diagnoses are childhood ADHD, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and alcohol use disorder. Mental health apps could possibly be a tool to bridge this gap-greater than two-thirds of American adults are prepared to make use of their smartphone to help handle their health, and apps that assist users improve their health, including mental health, are one of the quickest rising app classes within the U.S. Another customer added: ‘I take advantage of less than really helpful full cup of magnesium flakes in the bath, however I nonetheless discover wonderful effects – my little one instantly feels very sleepy (similar routine as typical, only BetterYou magnesium flakes added into water), no itchiness, no rash, I sleep like a child and no extra calf cramps at evening! “Even extra important, those that nonetheless haven’t gotten the vaccine need to consider getting it as quickly as attainable.

Luckily, one potential answer has arrived in a test package developed by Cellspect, a medical equipment supplier in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture. Discrimination, mistreatment in healthcare, misdiagnosis, and racial bias from medical staff are really discouraging to mentally unwell Black people who want affirming areas for healing. A few of the confusion displayed within the comments show how mental illness is commonly misunderstood as not even a medical downside, making proper remedy that much more difficult.

Whereas some apps like the Protected Place depend on donations to take care of operations, most provide solely a small portion of their sources totally free; full access to their content material requires a paid subscription. Mental health apps’ dearth of applications and therapy that replicate BIPOC lived experiences reflects a larger representation situation within the mental health care business: Only 6.2% of psychologists and 21.3% of psychiatrists are members of minority groups, based on the American Psychiatric Association. But clinicians recognized that character pathology, regardless of its seeming stability, was both fairly disabling and amenable to treatment. And youngsters in communities of colour have been disproportionately affected by trauma in the course of the pandemic, says Dr. Warren Ng, president-elect for the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

The questionable reliability of main depressive disorder, unchanged from DSM-IV, is obviously a problem. For a general psychiatric practice, the diagnostic reliability data suggest that two-thirds of patients will receive a reliable DSM-5 principal prognosis at the primary visit.

Read Time 3 Minutes
So… the End is Nigh
That’s right. According to horrible misinterpretations of some archaic calendar Armageddon is among us, and because I lack the ability to learn from the past when I was hording cans of green beans for Y2K and again in 2011 when I sold my car and house because Harold Camping prophesied the end of days I’m fully expecting shit to not just hit the fan, but to completely obliterate every atom that made the fan up.
So for your convenience I’ve taken some preparations and compiled them into this handy guide on how us guitarists are going to get through this oncoming rapture together.
Just because the world is ending doesn’t mean it has to end without music, and no I’m not going to suggest listening to REM’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” like a completely predictable tool. No. We’re talking about an event that involves the entire planet crumbling. There is only one style of music that can properly accompany this.
Of course there is elbow room to permit black metal or extreme metal, but I’m writing this guide so death metal has been canonized as the go to choice. Let’s face it. Computers aren’t going to be reliable for long and power outages are inevitable so that means we’re going to be sent back into the technological stone age. Back when CD players dominated the industry.
That’s why I’ve been spending my last three months worth of paychecks on AA batteries. How else am I going to listen to the intense chugging as the atmosphere burns up and my head literally explodes while the earth fissures under my feet and I plummet while headbanging my entrails to the planet’s core. It’ll be like something out of a Dethklok video. It will be the most metal moment in existence.
Basic Survival Techniques
Ok, so now we know what we’re going to be listening to, but how are we going to make it from day to day? Don’t worry. I’ve played a lot of Metal Gear Solid 3, so I know a thing or two about surviving in the wild. According to MGS3 we can safely eat any animal we find raw and mushrooms will recharge our batteries. Personally I hate mushrooms so that’s why I have all these batteries.
Now eating raw animal meat and mushrooms sounds like a jolly good time, but we need to be able to catch the animals. That’s why we have to fashion our guitars into bows. It’s quite simple.
First you take a cylindrical wooden rod. If the trees haven’t all burned up then you should be able to use some sticks. Then you attach some guitar picks to the end for arrow heads. If you play a finger picking style then I’m afraid you’re going to have to use your fingers as arrow heads. I’m sorry. It’s the only way. So you’ll want to get something like a Swiss Army Knife to dismember your digits.
Once you’ve fashioned your arrows you can use use your guitar strings to fire them. If your would be prey or a drifter you’re trying to mug gets in too close you can take the guitar by the neck and use it as a bludgeoning device. If you need tips on how to smash things with a guitar consult videos of Pete Townshend and Yngwie Malmsteen.
I recommend bolt-on necks for this because they tend to be more durable. Set neck guitars like SGs tend to have weaker neck joints and just won’t stay in tune as long and neck-thru guitars are usually more specialty things, so you don’t want to just smash those into any old thing. Gig bags can be used as a quiver for the guitar and extra arrows or you can tie a bandana filled with cans of beans to the headstock and hold it over your shoulder like all the cool hobo drifters.
Editor’s note: The world apparently didn’t end, so you probably don’t need to heed this advice. | <urn:uuid:fa351e48-a917-4e80-bc2d-4de8bfcc50a1> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.guitar-muse.com/the-guitarists-guide-to-the-end-of-the-world-5842 | 2021-11-28T23:07:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358673.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128224316-20211129014316-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.920029 | 955 | [

Fitch Rates CenterPoint Houston's General Mortgage Bonds 'A'
KEY RATING DRIVERS
--Capital spending remains large;
--Credit metrics will weaken;
--Low risk T&D business;
--Will not pursue a REIT structure.
Downsized Capital Spending Remains Large
CEHE has reduced its capex plan in early 2016 by approximately $400 million over 2016-2019. Despite the cut, CEHE's capex remains elevated. The utility will invest approximately $790 million annually over 2016-2018 and nearly $700 million each in 2019 and 2020, comparing to approximately $600 million per year before 2014. Fitch expects CEHE to reduce upstream dividend to CenterPoint Energy Inc. (CNP; LT IDR 'BBB'/Stable Outlook) during this period.
Credit Metrics Will Weaken
Fitch expects CEHE's credit metrics to weaken primarily due to the sizeable capex program. Despite the weakening, the metrics will remain consistent with its rating level as a low-risk transmission and distribution utility. Fitch forecasts CEHE's funds from operations (FFO) fixed-charge coverage to average 5.3x and FFO adjusted leverage to average 4x from 2016 to 2020.
Low Risk T&D Business
CEHE's ratings and Stable Outlook reflect the low business risk of its regulated electric transmission and distribution operations in Texas. Fitch considers the regulatory environment in Texas to be improving and reasonably supportive to CEHE's credit profile. CEHE has the opportunity to earn returns on its T&D capital investments through transmission cost of service (TCOS) twice a year and distribution cost recovery factor (DCRF) mechanisms once a year. In July 2016, Public Utility of Texas approved CEHE's DCRF settlement to increase annual DCRF charge by $45 million effective Sept. 1, 2016 through Aug. 31, 2017. Effective September 2017, the annualized charge will be $49 million if a new DCRF is not filed. CEHE bears no commodity risk and little volumetric risk on its commercial and industrial sales due to large proportions of demand charges.
Will Not Pursue a REIT Structure
Management has announced that it will no longer pursue a real estate investment trust (REIT) which Fitch views positively as Fitch considers a REIT structure as credit negative for the utility. This is due to the requirement that REITs distribute at least 90% of net income to shareholders, a continuous reliance on capital markets to fund growth capex and distribution, and uncertainties regarding regulatory treatment of the tax benefits.
Positive: Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to a positive rating action include:
--An upgrade is unlikely absent an upgrade at CEHE's parent CNP as Fitch intends to maintain a one-notch IDR differential between the two entities.
Negative: Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to a negative rating action include:
--If the regulatory environment becomes contentious such that it is unable to receive timely and reasonable recovery in rates;
--If FFO adjusted leverage exceeds 5x and/or FFO fixed-charge coverage is less than 4x on a sustained basis.
--CEHE's capex averages approximately $750 million per year from 2016-2020;
--CEHE's TCOS and DCRF mechanisms are available;
--Annual customer growth of approximately 1.8%-2%. | <urn:uuid:496e4a21-ced4-4cd8-b435-f2d681596238> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.oreanda.ru/en/finansy/article1041831/ | 2021-11-30T12:18:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358973.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130110936-20211130140936-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.939779 | 713 | [

I heard this on a podcast last week. I don’t think they were saying that women shouldn’t text or that it’s not for women-not at all. What they were talking about was the fact that the text just has the words and the info, and that suits the conversation style of most men. Hey, I’m just sharing with you what I heard.
What do you think? Do you think that the text message is an optimal form of communication for men? | <urn:uuid:f98c6b60-a55f-453e-a28e-454f4c39635a> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://identityspecialist.net/2010/05/16/texting-is-for-men/ | 2021-12-02T03:37:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964361064.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202024322-20211202054322-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.981856 | 104 | [

The Colts think they’ll be getting a new head coach after Super Bowl LII. And while they may ultimately land Josh McDaniels, there’s some reason for concern.
PFT has heard increasing chatter throughout the day that McDaniels may decide not to leave New England.
As reported during the Super Bowl pregame show on NBC, McDaniels has not yet told the Patriots he’s leaving. If he ultimately stays, McDaniels could make it very difficult for himself to get another head-coaching job, especially via the unofficial wink-nod postseason interview process, in which deals aren’t really done but as a practical matter are supposedly done. Who would trust him the next time, if he stiff-arms the Colts this time?
Some believe that McDaniels would be sticking around if coach Bill Belichick does the unexpected and retires after the game. Absent an immediate promotion, McDaniels likely would need a significant pay raise and/or a firm commitment that he’ll replace Belichick, whenever Belichick leaves. Ownership may not be inclined to provide a guarantee of that nature, however. | <urn:uuid:50abcc3e-ec01-4aae-87fb-4f491c3d2035> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/04/chatter-is-increasing-that-josh-mcdaniels-may-stiff-arm-the-colts/ | 2021-12-02T04:08:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964361064.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202024322-20211202054322-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.966505 | 235 | [

Monitor production with Node-RED
I would like to demonstrate how you can create monitoring of Production with Node-RED, and get a dashboard like this.
First of all, you would need to run Node-RED. It's possible to install it locally or, run it with Docker. Official Docker images for Node-RED based on Alpine, and may not work correctly with IRIS, yet. So, please use image caretdev/node-red
docker run -it -p 1880:1880 -v myNodeREDdata:/data --name mynodered caretdev/node-red
After the start of the container, it will be available by link http://localhost:1880/
Let's have a look at how it looks like. The field in the middle is used to construct flows by drag-n-drop nodes from the left side. On the right side, some additional control over it, such as, quick access to the items, and debugging.
Node-RED is extendable, and we can install any new types of nodes and can find them through Palette, which can be accessed via the menu.
And we will need, to install a node, which gives access to InterSystems, just search for intersystems there and press install.
After install it will appear on the left side, in section Storage. By double click, we can open settings for the particular instance of the node.
It is possible to have many instances of InterSystems IRIS nodes there, which will use the same settings to the server, so, these settings have to be configured once.
It's not enough, to get it working. We need a way to send an event that will trigger the chain of nodes. In this simple case, we can use node inject . The settings for this type of nodes allows generating a message as well, and most importantly it can be configured to inject these messages with some interval
The last thing left is visualization. Node-RED has another installable package named node-red-dashboard, which provides a bunch of nodes and the capability to create Material-design based dashboards
Our simple SQL query returns only one number, with the number of messages sent. So, we may use a Gauge widget or just a Text widget. Both of these widgets expects some number in msg.payload but intersystems IRIS node returns more than just a number, and we need one more function node, which will help to convert the query result to the expected format. Debug node, may help in understanding how messages look like.
And finally, we can link all the nodes together, deploy them and test it with the small button on Inject node, to manually inject the message.
The dashboard can be found in the menu. And we will see there something like this
The flow for the first picture above is a bit bigger.
This demo is available in the GitHub repo, and can be run with docker-compose.

And that’s it folks! The fall finale of our beloved Revenge is one for the books. I’ve been waiting two weeks for Emily (Emily VanCamp) to utter the lines “You fell in love with a hooker” and it was well worth the wait! It’s like the holiday gift I never knew I wanted.
Let’s break it down…
The episode begins with Emily working out her Kill Bill kinks with Satoshi Takeda (Hiroyke Sanada) in a sparring match. Emily VanCamp did well with the physicality as she and Takeda identify her two main problems: Ashton Holmes’ Tyler (simple) and Margarita Levieva’s Faux-manda (ticking time bomb). Amusingly, Takeda doesn’t even bother giving her advice on Tyler; he skips directly to Faux-manda, suggesting that Emily “engage your opponent to do work for you.” In other words: pit Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) against Faux-manda.
And that’s just what she does. But first she’s got to handle the simple, and that means exacting REVENGE! on the Talented Mr. Hamptons. Taking out Tyler is surprisingly simple once she finds the sextape of his romantic dalliance with Nolan (Gabriel Ross). Side Note: I never truly picked up on Nolan’s whale/dolphin fetish until this episode. Obviously his USB stick was there, but he’s got fountains by the pool, and sculptures in his office. What’s up with that? End Side Note
Of course, Emily vs Tyler is hardly fair considering that Tyler is off his meds…literally. In his first scene of the night we see him pop a mysterious pill before he once again attempts to motivate party-planner Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) to ship up or shape out. Then later, after a passive-aggressive convo with Daniel (Joshua Bowman) about landing Nolan’s account, we see him discover an empty bottle of Clozapine in his bag. A quick interwebs search reveals that Tyler is taking an anti-psychotic traditionally used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Now in regular life people who suffer from these disorders are not crazy bisexual himbos, but in the land of television and honey, pills (or worse, empty pill bottles) = certifiable crazypants. And so we know now that Tyler is actually really dangerous (please note the italics for emphasis).
Emily repairs Daniel’s business relationship with his father in two easy strokes: first, she uses her relationship with Takeda to land Daniel a $50 million investment. Second, she plants the idea in his mind that Tyler blackmailed Nolan sexually for money. This starts in motion a sequence of events that begins with Daniel telling Conrad (Henry Czerny), who fires Tyler, who turns around and blackmails Conrad with the truth about David Clarke involvement in the plane crash. All of this helps to benefit Emily’s endgame, so that’s another tip of the hat to our blonde antihero. Well done, Em! Of course, she probably didn’t foresee Tyler threatening Nolan and deep sixing Nolan’s expensive laptop in the pool.
This was an interesting reversal of fate for Emily. Thus far she’s been able to manipulate and control her Hampton players like pawns, and while ‘Loyalty’ started off that way, by the end of the hour she was alone. Takeda called her out on lying about her feelings for Daniel, which he felt were comprising her plans, and when she denied it, he left. Daniel also left to spend the night protecting Victoria after he learned that his father hadn’t fired Tyler, so although Emily has Tyler blackmailing Conrad, she’s driven Daniel back to his mother (and her tumbler of booze the size of a baby’s head!)
But it was her conversation with Nolan near the end of the episode that will have the biggest impact moving forward. From the very beginning we’ve seen Nolan and Emily as a team: he’s the sidekick to all of her schemes. Her decision to throw him under the bus with the sextape proves to him that Emily has never trusted him. In fact, she calls him out on his attempts to derail her from the start: interfering with Jack, and buying the Amanda. Then she drops the amazing line about falling for a hooker. He retaliates that he has been involved because David Clarke asked him to be, and that it’s good that Clarke is dead so that he doesn’t see what she’s become. And with that Nolan leaves.
At this point I had to take a step back. I realized that somewhere along the line I’d forgotten that Nolan wasn’t joining in the REVENGE for fun. It seems obvious in retrospect, but his plan was to remain close to Emily to protect her, but also to pull her back from the edge and prevent her from going too dark. Now, in light of their argument (and how we’ve seen them at the engagement party, exchanging catty remarks) it’s clear that their work together is over. I’m doubtful that he will expose her, given that he did have an opportunity to do so with Tyler and didn’t take it, but by the end of ‘Loyalty’ Emily manipulated events in such a way that she was for the first time truly on her own.
It should be interesting to see how she fares without back-up as we inch closer to the deadly engagement party in five episodes time…
- Faux-manda spends most of the hour trying to find new ways to sink her claws deeper into Jack (Nick Wechsler). After running afoul of Sammy the magical ageless dog (he doesn’t recognize her), Faux-manda spends some time boning up on her “Hamptons” past to make a more convincing Amanda. That convinces Jack as they go back and forth exchanging rocks with each other. Sammy is a different story: Faux-manda tricks him into accepting her later, so I can only assume she did so by slathering herself in peanut butter. (Side Note: Loved the sly references to Sammy’s age: First Jack calls him “senile” for not recognizing Faux-manda, then Amanda calls him a “wonder dog”).
- Conrad files for divorce from Victoria. A few scenes later a lawyer named Ryan Huntley magically appears to offer his services to her and they begin building a case. Daniel later tells her that he’ll support her by providing access to the company’s records. I did find it strange that Victoria – traditionally such a cold, untrusting fish – would automatically accept the word of this guy. At the end of the episode, it’s revealed that he’s working for Emily due to his connection to the David Clarke case. This seemed a bit obvious, and reminds me a bit of the old Revenge days when Emily took down a different player each week (which I enjoyed less), so hopefully the show won’t revert back to the old model.
- Declan (Connor Paolo) and Charlotte Grayson (Christa B. Allen) almost buy an apartment together until Jack steps in and reminds Declan that he’s an uneducated bus boy. Thankfully wiser heads prevail and Declan pulls out, but not before Victoria finds out and drives Charlotte to live with Conrad.
- Ashley, barely present, accepts Tyler’s dinner offer, but this storyline, which seemed really juicy only a few episodes ago, has become stagnant. If Ashley’s truly going to be a player in all of this, the writers need to get her off the bench and into the action. Watching her waffle and make snide (albeit funny) comments isn’t enough to distract from the fact that she’s spinning her wheels.

1. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) President, CA Nihar N. Jambusaria while addressing Members regarding the Latest Developments at ICAI, said that the Institute has Good Coordination with National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) on Revised Accounting Standards and directed the members not to send diverse communication.
2. The post by NFRA on the website of Press Information Bureau right from 27th September 2021 when the then NFRA Chairman issued the press release wherein it was mentioned that the approach paper was sent back for the revision of the existing accounting standards to ICAI asking it to carry out Regulatory Impact Assessment and hold an extensive nationwide discussion.
“Accounting Standards revision process commenced in 2006 and the approach paper developed by ICAI was approved by National Advisory Committee on Accounting Standards (NACAS) when it was in existence, much efforts went into the revision of 18 accounting standards over 5 years for which new procedure for issuance of Exposure Drafts and seeking comments of stakeholders was followed. The then NFRA chairman did not think it fit to bring the revised accounting standard for discussion at the NFRA Board meeting as recently as 20 September 2021 wherein the part-time members were also present, an appropriate reply has been drafted and the revised accounting standards are being sent back to NFRA for its consideration again,” the ICAI President stated.
3. The statement that Micro, Small and Medium companies would be subject to audit only if they satisfy certain public interest entity criteria cannot be regarded as the view of NFRA. This view was never brought up at discussion on NFRA Board as it does not have jurisdiction over Micro, Small, and Medium Companies.
“We would like to have good coordination with NFRA for which discussions will be held with them, this was done in the past and will continue to have channels of discussions open with NFRA,” reiterated ICAI President.
4. The ICAI President requested the members to have patients and not to send diverse communications to NFRA or to the Ministry individually. | <urn:uuid:04fd7db9-1826-4332-9c20-6736331a944a> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://capage.in/icai-president-icai-has-good-coordination-with-nfra-on-revised-accounting-standards-members-not-to-send-diverse-communication/ | 2021-12-08T12:53:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363510.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208114112-20211208144112-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.970251 | 423 | [

Supervisors of student workers have the opportunity to teach lessons not found in a college classroom. In the best student work programs, supervisors understand what values may be gained through work experience, and they do their best to ensure that students understand and develop the skills and traits that will complement their academic program. Taking responsibility for a part-time job under effective supervision enhances employment options after graduation.
Work helps prepare a student for modern office culture, and promote constructive employer/employee relationships. Students express ingenuity and creativity, as they are encouraged to make improvements in their job situation. Working students also develop good habits such as consistency, dependability, cooperation, tact and poise, and learn responsibility through meeting work schedules and quality requirements. Students are often able to find jobs that relate to their academic subjects, which further fosters new interests and abilities.
Supervisors, then, have two responsibilities: concern for the development of the student as a employee, and also for the employee as a student. The best supervisors treat their student workers as individuals, and understand that student workers have other interests and responsibilities. They make the work of the student seem interesting, significant, and worthwhile to both supervisor and student.
Implications for Supervision
- The fact that students’ primary goal is their academics does not excuse irresponsibility, but some flexibility in work schedules may be necessary.
- Students are most effective when their work is defined in terms of projects or tasks. When a student is given a specific task defined by objectives and turned loose with the resources and guidance to pursue it, he or she will almost always out-produce students in more traditional settings.
- By understanding the dual role of employer/educator, the supervisor can be instrumental in assisting a student in his or her developmental growth.
- Students may be an invaluable resource for innovative and creative ideas for change or improvement.

This is an English translation of the full-page article about the “servant work” of Ka Maxxy Santiago which was published in Le Courrier. Le Courrier is a Swiss French-language daily newspaper in Geneva.
Michelle_Fe_Santiago, the voice of abused domestic workers
In the Gulf countries, the abuse of domestic workers is often the “front page”. Based in # Kuwait since 1999, Filipino journalist Michelle Fe Santiago carries the # memory of violence that strikes her community.
SUNDAY, JULY 28, 2019
BY SEBASTIAN CASTELIER & QUENTIN MÜLLER
“Love to the max … max, max, max! “Gleefully trumpets a jingle. Michelle Fe Santiago, called Maxi, takes place in the studio. The jovial Filipino journalist hosts the morning of Pinoy Arabia, an online radio created in October 2014 to entertain an audience mostly composed of compatriots. A large community in Kuwait with no less than 222,000 Filipinos, 62% of whom are domestic servants. “I spend some love songs. Sometimes I respond to comments from listeners, I relay diaries and broadcast some news, “says Michelle behind his screen.
The journalist, who has been stationed in Kuwait since 1999, covers Emirate news for the Arab Times in parallel with her position as a correspondent in the Middle East for the Philippine television channel ABS-CBN. In almost twenty years of expatriation, Maxi knows how easy it is for the Philippines to live and work in the Gulf countries, especially in Kuwait. A new jingle passes: “Live is short, love to the max (life is short, love to the max, ed)”. “I’m not going to go into details, but I happened to cover various facts …”, Maxi restrains an embarrassed smile.
Heavy to wear
Seven years ago, she was notified of the hospitalization of a Filipina maid found dead in the desert hinterland, stabbed. “She crawled a long time, but survived. A policeman raped her in the back of her car and wanted to make her disappear. In the columns of Kuwait Times, Michelle is the first journalist to cover the drama. Her article is echoed by a Kuwaiti lawyer who volunteered to represent the maid for free. “The policeman was arrested, tried, then sentenced to life,” she nods solemnly.
Cases like this servant, Maxi has covered a multitude. An exercise that leaves marks. “Sometimes when I hear their story, I feel like crying, but as a journalist you can not show your emotions. It’s unethical to cry in front of your interlocutors. I learned to control my tears. When I go home, however, I happen to literally collapse. “
The Philippine embassy in Kuwait estimates that more than 2,500 cases of domestic violence or physical abuse occur annually. A figure that does not reflect the reality, according to several local associations to help foreign workers. This is the case of the Kuwait Society for Human Rights. In 2018, the NGO received some 5,400 complaints from foreign workers, mostly domestic workers.
The same goes for Sandigan, a Filipino group based in Kuwait known for its spectacular evacuation of domestic workers. These social workers say they receive hundreds of calls for help per month. Unpaid wages, flight defenestrations, abuse, sexual abuse, lack of food; Filipino domestic workers face impunity for Kuwaiti households, which are difficult for local police to access.
Difficult to denounce too. Because if Kuwait is the only country to boast of having a parliament and a political debate where it is possible to question and criticize the government, freedom of expression remains relative when it touches the image of the country . “Here you sometimes have to find devious ways to cover a subject. But I can not keep my eyes closed either. So I make sure that the self-censorship that I exercise on my work does not sacrifice the veracity and the facts, “smiles the journalist.
Calls for help
On the occasion of the mid-term elections, Maxi delivers some practical advice to go vote on the waves of Pinoy Arabia between a few dedications of Filipino parents dedicated to their children exiled in Kuwait. Last year, while the umpteenth murder of a Filipino domestic was the headline of the local press, Philippine President Duterte banned for four months any new national to come to work in the Emirate . A highly criticized measure in Kuwait, and a period of strong diplomatic tension, which nevertheless resulted in an agreement. “Pinoy Arabia worked with the embassy to help all those who wanted to leave Kuwait during this period. “
If the radio founded by Maxi has no political vocation, and serves mainly to entertain his audience, it is a great way to take the pulse of the Filipino community. “Even though the conditions of my compatriots have improved since the agreement, I still receive calls for help. I never do rescue myself. My role is to coordinate with the embassy when that happens. “
Caught at high risk
After a long presence on the soil of Kuwait, Maxi has certainly gained popularity among his own and was able to cover among others the US invasion of Iraq, but the Filipino journalist grimaced the idea of remaining a new decade in the Emirate. “It was not at all expected that I would make a part of my career here. I had just come to spend Christmas with relatives. “
Born in Zamboanga, a town in the west of the island of Mindanao, Michelle, born of two primary school teachers, said she had always been journalistic and had never thought of ever going into exile in another country. 10% of the population of the Philippines – 11 million people. “I took a big risk coming here because I made a good living in the Philippines. In five years, I think to return. Why not make documentaries about social problems that exist in my country? “ | <urn:uuid:daa55f74-b2d2-4ff4-a1d7-b10fde3d63cf> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://patnubay.org/?p=13664 | 2021-11-27T14:25:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358189.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127133237-20211127163237-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.968625 | 1,266 | [
