Guess Who, Haiku by Deanna Caswell, illustrated by Bob Shea (InfoSoup)
Haiku poetry is turned into a guessing game in this delightful picture book. One animal after another is described in haiku format and then the reader is asked to guess what animal it is. The answer is revealed with a turn of the page. This simple idea is engaging for youngsters learning about poetry and also works as a more basic picture book for younger listeners. It is that ease of use that makes this book so engaging for various age levels.
Caswell’s haiku are exceptional in the way they offer clues that children can understand and yet conform to the strict haiku format rules. They also read as haiku and real poems, each one working as a stand-alone haiku as well as a clue in the game of the book. This takes real skill, particularly since it looks so very effortless on the page.
Shea’s illustrations are loud, dynamic and funny. From the almost round bumblebee and the grinning flower to the googly-eyed frog , they are simple and also capture the essence of the animal they are depicting. They are filled with energy and life, making the book all the more fun.
This is the ideal book to introduce children to haiku since it makes the experience completely engaging and game-like. Appropriate for ages 3-7.

Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow? by Susan A. Shea, illustrated by Tom Slaughter
This interactive and engaging book will have children eagerly answering the questions inside. The book is all about whether something is alive or not, whether it will grow or not. Told in rhyming sets of questions, the final rhyme and answer is hidden beneath another flip-out page that makes it into a guessing game for the rhyme. So in the first pages, “If a ducking grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and become…” Turn the page and you find “a truck?” The flaps also have die cut holes in them that add to the appeal. It’s a game and a book that will intrigue and fascinate young readers.
A large part of the appeal of this book is the rhyming couplets that create the guessing game. Pairing living creatures and inanimate objects make for an appealing educational book. Adding the rhyming guessing game takes it to another level. The rhymes have a great humor to them, and will have children giggling at the thought that a stool could grow into a a chair or a sweater into a coat.
Slaughter’s illustrations are bright and graphic. Using bold color combinations and strong lines, the cut-paper illustrations are very effective. They have an colorful and inviting tone that is modern and striking.
Ideal for classroom use or in any library, this book should be enjoyed by many children. The flap structure is large and sturdy, meaning it will work well for public or school libraries. This book tackles a subject I haven’t seen in many picture books too, adding to the appeal. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

I Spy with My Little Eye by Edward Gibbs
Children adore books with holes to peek through. In this book, the frog’s eye on the cover is actually a hole that carries through the book, with the background changing as the page is turned. The entire book is an I-Spy game where a clue is given and then you can see just a bit of the next page. My favorite aspect is that as you turn the page, you see the next creature’s eye looking at you. The book incorporates game play, colors, and logic with great results.
Gibbs has a real sense of style with this book. His illustrations are big and bold, the animals bursting off of the pages with the bright colors and the large size. While the illustrations are large, the lines stay delicate and filled with swirls.
This is one book that will fly off of library shelves as soon as children spy it with their little eyes. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

Oneida County Unveils Ag-Friendly Municipal Guide
Document Will Assist in Developing Plans & Policies
Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. today unveiled the “Agriculture-Friendly Oneida County” municipal planning guide, a document that will aid local towns in developing comprehensive plans and policies, establishing agricultural districts, receiving agricultural assessments and setting up land use regulations.
“Agriculture is the biggest industry in Oneida County and farmland protection is vital to its continued success,” Picente said. “Municipalities play a significant role in protecting agricultural land and facilitating its usage. This Ag-Friendly municipal planning guide will put our towns in the position to best utilize their assets and we will be here every step of the way to assist them.”
The purpose of the guide is to provide municipalities with:
- A reference guide to be used in developing comprehensive plans and land use regulations, i.e. zoning regulations or amendments to those documents.
- Information regarding current agricultural–related laws and programs — such as NYS Agricultural Districts Law, Agricultural Assessments and Farmland Protection Implementation Grants —that they can support and would encourage landowner participation.
- A checklist of items they can use to determine if their municipality is agriculture-friendly.
- Information on the characteristics of agriculture-friendly comprehensive plans, land use regulations, and municipal policies.
- Information on additional steps municipalities can take on their own to further farmland protection in their municipality, such as a Right to Farm Law or Municipal Farmland Protection Plan.
- Samples of agriculture-related definitions municipalities can use when developing and updating land use regulations.
- A list of resources municipalities can refer to when adopting or amending comprehensive plans and land use regulations.
- The identification of county contacts municipalities can rely on when adopting or amending comprehensive plans and land use regulations.
- Assistance in the creation of a uniform approach in developing plans, policies and regulations for agriculture throughout the county.
“This planning guide will prove to be an essential tool for fostering agriculture in all of the municipalities in Oneida County,” said Oneida County Associations of Towns President Ben Simons. “I encourage all of our towns to obtain a copy and implement its strategies. I want to thank County Executive Picente for his proactive agricultural vision and his unwavering support of our county’s farmers.”
The ag-friendly municipal planning guide is a part of the implementation of the 2017 Oneida County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan, having been specifically identified as an action item.
The towns of Camden, Westmoreland, Paris and Trenton have had audits of their regulations for ag-friendliness done as part of the Farmland Protection Plan. Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County met with those municipalities to review their audits in October 2018 and a second workshop on ag-friendly regulations for all of the municipalities in the county was held earlier this year.
Oneida County Planning Department and CCE Oneida County staff will be providing further assistance to municipalities by attending their future ag-friendly meetings, helping to develop ag-friendly comprehensive plans, land use regulations and municipal farmland protection plans and reviewing and auditing them.
“We are extremely fortunate that the County Executive, Board of Legislators and other local leaders recognize the importance of agriculture in Oneida County,” said CCE Oneida County Executive Director Mary Beth McEwen. “The Ag-Friendly municipal guide is a resource for municipalities interested in creating and strengthening a farm-friendly environment for agricultural businesses. It’s vitally important that we continue to support our farmers and farm businesses. This guide will provide all of the towns in Oneida County with the information they need to create a supportive atmosphere to ensure that the future of agriculture in Oneida County remains promising.” | <urn:uuid:13537fb2-b641-40fd-a2bf-7ec47f1cffa5> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://ocgov.net/content/oneida-county-unveils-ag-friendly-municipal-guide | 2021-11-30T19:09:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359065.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130171559-20211130201559-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.903909 | 814 | [

Shortly after the Canary Wharf bomb, John Major, speaking in the House of Commons, said: ‘As for the relationship between Sinn Fein and the IRA, I think that they are both members one of another.’ Sinn Fein, he continued, would now have to decide whether it wanted to be a constitutional party or continue as a front for the IRA. Ignoring renewed protestations from Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness that Sinn Fein is separate from the IRA, that it is a political party with a democratic mandate from its voters, most politicians and observers have, like Major himself, accepted almost without question the Unionist formulation: Sinn Fein/IRA. They do so in spite of the fact that few details of the relationship are known and many of the ‘insights’ plain wrong. The Sunday Times, for example, was demonstrably mistaken when it announced that Gerry Kelly, one of Sinn Fein’s chief negotiators at Stormont, is a highly placed IRA man who is not even a member of the Party. Kelly, who was sentenced to life imprisonment after the 1973 Old Bailey bombing, may or may not be a member of the IRA army council, but he is certainly a member of Sinn Fein: he stood unsuccessfully at last year’s Árd Fheis, or party conference, for election to the Árd Chomhairle – the Party’s national executive.
If the peace process is to be resurrected with any realistic chance of success, those engaged in negotiations with the Republican movement need to make a better effort to understand the way Republicans think and work (know your enemy: it is a basic principle). Nor is there any use in pretending that the North of Ireland is the same as Yorkshire or the Midlands or East Anglia; it is not even Wales or Scotland. It is no good demanding that everyone behave as though the gun and the bomb had played no part in recent history. Sinn Fein may not be a normal political party with normal antecedents but in the Six Counties the distance between ballot and ammunition box has always been small, and not just on the Republican side.
Unionist and Nationalist, Loyalist and Republican have had cause to resort to arms, and always found the arguments to justify it. It is not so long ago that Ian Paisley, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, invited the media to a night-time parade of hundreds of his supporters as they waved their gun licences and threatened, in the name of democracy and the Protestant people, to use their weapons if Britain tried to force constitutional change on them. David Trimble, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, now hailed in many quarters as a ‘moderate’, was himself a supporter of Vanguard, the militant Unionist body which in the early Seventies had links with Loyalist paramilitaries. After the abolition of the Stormont Government in 1972 Vanguard’s massed ranks lined up and fell in infantry-style to be reviewed by William Craig, masquerading as a latter-day Carson. In the North of Ireland, it is better not to throw stones: many political houses are made of glass.
The North is, unhappily, a special case: were it not, there would have been no need to arm the police, to build forts, to garrison towns, to imprison large numbers of the population without trial, to deploy the SAS, to impose curfews, to eavesdrop, watch, patrol and control. It would not have been necessary to embark on peace processes, to hold secret talks, to hold talks about talks, to invite American Presidents. It would not have been necessary to do any of the thousand special things that have been done there. John Major and Sir Patrick Mayhew do not like it, but one of the defining characteristics of Irish Nationalism – and Unionism, for that matter – is that it has always had a tradition of physical force. The survival of that tradition is lamentable and anachronistic, but they are foolish to attribute its continued vitality to the very man who has done most to rein it in. For more than fifteen years, Gerry Adams has been coaxing Sinn Fein away from its militarist origins, yet Adams’s achievement has gone unacknowledged and the man himself continues to receive nothing but the lowest insults. ‘I wonder if he was bullied at school,’ Alexander Chancellor wrote in the Guardian shortly after Canary Wharf:
He looks as if he might have been. He exudes that combination of aloofness and self-satisfaction which invites bullying. I can imagine wanting to smash his glasses in the playground. I can even imagine wanting to do it now. But what I think I would really like to do now would be to get somebody to hold his arms behind his back while I grasp his nose and his beard very tight and refuse to let go until he swears three times that he condemns the IRA and will never condone violence again.
Most commentators were agreed that if Adams didn’t condemn the bombing he should be cast into the wilderness. A surer recipe for prolonging the North’s tragedy would be harder to imagine.
The proponents of physical force within the Republican movement – those who have always argued that Britain only listens to guns and bombs, that the Easter Rising and the War of Independence achieved what the Home Rulers at Westminster could not, that IRA guns and Semtex would force the Brits out – have generally held sway over those who argued that violence only polarised the situation and delayed British withdrawal. John Major and Patrick Mayhew have not grasped the fact, but it is their good fortune to be in office at a time when the position of the political men relative to the militarists has been reversed. Until quite recently, most Republicans saw political activity as synonymous with compromise and betrayal. Since Partition, those who wanted to get the British out have continued to opt for the Army rather than the Party. In the Sixties – when Sinn Fein was an illegal organisation (it was not unbanned until 1974) – the efforts of more politically conscious activists like Gerry Adams to organise the Party met with little success. Sinn Fein, Adams has written, was then ‘a very small organisation ... You could almost describe it as an incestuous association made up as it was of members of a few spinal Republican families.’
During the Sixties the old, Dublin-based Marxist leadership of Cathal Goulding and Tomás Mac Giolla began scaling down the Army in an effort to modernise Republicanism and attract mass support. By 1969 the Belfast IRA was virtually non-existent and so poorly armed it could not defend the Nationalist population against the incursions of Loyalist mobs and the B-Specials. After the split of the following year, the Officials – following the Marxist model favoured by Goulding and Mac Giolla – were careful to subordinate the Army to the Party and, in spite of the obvious security implications, ordered all members of the Official IRA to join the Republican Clubs, the Officials’ version, in the North, of Sinn Fein. The local Republican Club chairman was invariably the OC of the local unit of the Official IRA, the secretary was the adjutant, the treasurer was the finance officer and so on. After calling their own ceasefire in 1972, the Officials moved steadily away from the armed struggle – though they never decommissioned their weapons – and eventually evolved into the Workers’ Party and, after another split, the Democratic Left, whose leader, Proinsais de Rossa, is a member of John Bruton’s coalition government (Adams likes to refer to de Rossa as ‘my former colleague’).
Those who flocked to join what was then the Provisional wing of the movement saw themselves as armed militants to the Officials’ political compromisers. For them, Michael Collins had said all there was to say about the value of words in the struggle against the Crown when he gave the oration at the funeral of Thomas Ashe, who died on hunger strike in 1917: ‘That volley which we have just heard is the only speech which it is proper to make over the grave of a dead Fenian.’ In the early and mid-Seventies, the sheer scale of the conflict with the British Army and the RUC left little room for the political men and women to assert themselves. Sinn Fein remained what it had been for half a century, essentially a support group and propaganda arm for the IRA. The Party, one former IRA volunteer recalls, was ‘the organisation to which older IRA members retired’. Its leaders – Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, Dáithí Ó Conaill – had made their names not as politicians but as IRA men. Their view, in contradiction to that of most revolutionary movements from Vietnam to Algeria, was that the Party was subservient to the needs of the Army, a line which prevailed because at that time the IRA was enjoying a certain measure of success, every day inflicting casualties on soldiers and police and maintaining control in no-go areas in Belfast and Derry. Beyond cheering on the ‘boys’, there was little for Sinn Fein members to do. Because of the Party’s policy not to fight elections, there was no canvassing or polling, and with the exception of ‘war news’ little in the way of publicity material to prepare. Sinn Fein did not even originate its own policies: the 1971 manifesto, Éire Nua, was drawn up by the IRA leadership.
There was little overlap of membership between the Provisional IRA and Sinn Fein. Active IRA volunteers were too busy with other matters to bother with what in any case they considered an inferior form of activity. A Sinn Fein councillor in Belfast, himself a former IRA volunteer, says that in the Seventies ‘the crossover in membership between the Party and the Army was near enough non-existent.’ A member of Sinn Fein’s present Árd Chomhairle recalls that in 1973 he was the only member of his local IRA unit to be a member of the local Sinn Fein cumann, or association. Politics, he says, had such a dirty name that ‘anyone who wanted to contribute to the struggle tended to think of the armed struggle.’ His assessment of the present situation? ‘I don’t know of a single IRA volunteer who’s a member of Sinn Fein in my area.’ He attributes this to lack of time: ‘This is one of our big problems. The Party demands a lot from its members.’ Another local Sinn Fein activist and former IRA prisoner thinks the reason IRA volunteers do not get involved with Sinn Fein has more to do with security considerations. Sinn Fein only began to expand its role in the late Seventies, as a group of young radicals centred on Gerry Adams, who became the Party’s vice-president in 1978, started to reflect on the Republicans’ failure to capitalise on the IRA’s successes. Around this time, Adams presented a discussion document, ‘A Scenario for Peace’, to the Árd Fheis, in which he argued that the armed struggle could not by itself achieve the Republican goal of ejecting the British from Ireland. A proper political organisation was urgently needed. In the context of the Republican movement at that time it was a revolutionary departure: in the context of today’s peace process it was a highly significant moment, signalling the emergence of men and women who were prepared to do business rather than fight to the last round.
The new emphasis on political activity coincided with a crisis in the prisons. In 1976 the Government had removed political status (Special Category Status was the Northern Ireland Office term) from IRA prisoners in the North. In protest, male prisoners in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh and female prisoners in Armagh began what became known as the no-wash and dirty protests. In 1981 the protests escalated into the hunger strike that resulted in the deaths of ten prisoners. A hundred thousand people turned up to the funeral of the first man to die, Bobby Sands, who, shortly before his death, had been elected MP for Fermanagh-South Tyrone in a Westminster by-election. Owen Carron, Sands’s election agent, fought and won Sands’s seat in a subsequent by-election. Sinn Fein flourished. In local elections it found itself with over a hundred councillors. The Party also gained seats in the Irish Dáil, and in 1982 won representation in the Assembly set up as the result of an initiative by the then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, James Prior. The following year, Adams, already an Assembly member, became MP for West Belfast (he held the seat in 1987 before losing it to the SDLP in 1992). At the same time, Adams, McGuinness and other Northerners displaced the Party’s old leadership in elections at the Árd Fheis. Some electoral gains disappeared as the high emotions of the hunger strike period subsided, but Sinn Fein has been successful in retaining the loyalty of its core voters, around 12 per cent of McGuinness the electorate in the North, a third Of the Nationalist vole (in Belfast it got more votes than any other party in the last City Hall elections). By the mid-Eighties Sinn Fein had become the kind of political party Adams had long dreamed of creating.
Reviewing the Party’s electoral successes, many IRA volunteers began for the first time to take Sinn Fein seriously. Undoubtedly, some saw the Party’s gains as a satisfying reflection of the support the IRA enjoyed within the Nationalist community; and many who voted for Sinn Fein at that time did so in the belief that they were voting for the IRA. When Martin McGuinness was elected to the Assembly in 1982, his supporters carried him shoulder-high chanting ‘I-I-IRA,’ leaving no one in any doubt about the significance to them of political activity. Nevertheless a profound change in the status of political work was underway. Sinn Fein’s position relative to the IRA continued to be bolstered as released prisoners opted to join the Party rather than return to active service. Most of the current national leadership falls into this category, as do many of Sinn Fein’s local councillors. When journalists and Unionists point to the preponderance of former prisoners among the Party’s negotiators, implying that they must be members of the IRA, they are misreading the nature of IRA membership. One of the most enduring myths is ‘once in, never out.’ It has served as a cranky plot device in a thousand thrillers, but bears no relation to reality. IRA volunteers can and do leave the organisation. Most drift off rather than formally resign; some former volunteers drift back into the organisation, but for many the ordinary human impulse to settle down and raise a family – to make up for lost time after years of imprisonment – takes precedence. Others, unwilling to go back to active service but equally unwilling to give up the struggle, join Sinn Fein. Not everyone severed their links with the Army, however: Sinn Fein was embarrassed on several occasions in the Eighties when high-profile members were arrested and charged with serious offences.
Some prisoners, on release, were given a ‘fast track’ introduction to the Party. Soon after leaving prison, Leo Green, for example, became director of the POW department. Similarly, Jim Gibney was given the role of Six County organiser within a short time of his release. Green, Gibney and other prisoners not only lent status to the Party; they also helped to radicalise it. There had been much reading in jail – everything from Rousseau to Marx to Foucault. Politically aware and streetwise, the new activists threw themselves into a re-organisation of the Party at every level. They campaigned about prison conditions, security issues, the courts, housing, unemployment, local planning, cultural affairs and women’s rights. Advice centres were set up in Republican areas, but proved an enormous drain on the Party’s finances and personnel. So Sinn Fein activists took paid jobs in citizens’ advice bureaux and similar offices instead, strengthening the bonds between the Party and the local community.
The basic building block of Sinn Fein was and remains the local cumann or association. In the Seventies each cumann had a chair, secretary, treasurer and occasionally – if someone could be found whose talents fitted the role – a public relations officer. At that time, cumainn tended to be named in memory of a fallen local volunteer, but the policy had to be discontinued: so many volunteers had been killed it became increasingly invidious to single out one or two for this distinction. Cumainn are now simply called after the area they cover: the Ballymurphy cumann (membership between fifteen and twenty) and the St James cumann (ten to fifteen) cover Upper Springfield Ward and part of Beechmount Ward. To canvass during elections the cumann will be able to call on an additional thirty or forty supporters or otherwise inactive members. Sinn Fein does not levy a registration fee on individuals but requires £70 a year from each cumann. There are approximately three hundred cumainn in the country. At the moment Sinn Fein is preparing for a ‘party audit’ to get a better idea of actual membership, now reckoned to be between a thousand and 1500. Above the cumainn are two regional tiers in the organisation: the chomhairle ceantair (whose territory tends to reflect Westminster and Dáil constituency boundaries) and the chomhairle limistear, such as Belfast, Derry, Mid-Ulster and Munster, which are generally composed of up to five constituency areas.
The Party’s governing executive – the Árd Chomhairle – is elected from the annual party conference, the Árd Fheis. Membership of the Árd Chomhairle varies between twenty-five and thirty, one-third of whom have to be women. There is an elected officer board whose members include the president (Gerry Adams, since 1983), chair (Mitchell McLaughlin, responsible for overseeing Party organisation), vice president (Pat Doherty, the Party’s chief negotiator with the Dublin Government) and general secretary (Lucilita Bhreatnach). The Árd Chomhairle is also made up of nine elected members. These include Martin McGuinness (often erroneously referred to as Sinn Fein’s vice president, McGuinness heads the team negotiating with British ministers and officials at Stormont). A third group on the Árd Chomhairle are, for reasons of continuity, nominated to run specialised offices, like the POW department. The nominated members do not have voting rights at Árd Chomhairle meetings. The bureaucracy – a head office staff – is based at Parnell Square in Dublin, and is split into Six County and 26-county departments. On paper, the set-up sounds impressive enough – though somewhat top-heavy and bureaucratic. In reality, resources and personnel are stretched – ‘we’re a small party trying to do a big job.’ Sinn Fein has no paid officials and relies on its members’ goodwill, commitment – and steady nerves. Since 1988 20 Sinn Fein activists and members of their families have been killed by Loyalists and the security forces: in 1992 an RUC man burst into the Sinn Fein press centre on the Falls Road and shot three people dead, including two party members; in the same year Loyalists killed Martin Lavery, the brother of Sinn Fein councillor Bobby Lavery – within twelve months they had also killed his son; Brian Nelson, a British military intelligence agent, described in court by a Colonel J as a ‘hero’, conspired to murder, among others, Belfast city councillor Alex Maskey – that Brian Nelson escaped multiple life sentences and received ten years was thanks in large part to the then Attorney General, Sir Patrick Mayhew, who sanctioned a deal by which four murder counts against Nelson were dropped.
Illegal until twenty years ago, censored until eighteen months ago, its offices regularly bombed and raked with gunfire, its members on permanent guard against assassination, Sinn Fein is not a normal political party: it hasn’t had the chance to be. Most of its leaders, including Adams and McGuinness, are former IRA men who remain committed Irish Republicans and defend, as they put it, ‘the right of the Irish people to defend themselves’. The call for them to distance themselves from the Army by condemning the bombings is so much wasted breath: Sinn Fein and the IRA share the same goal, its members and leaders are from the same mould – literally the same streets – and share the same ideology. Whatever their internal differences – privately, Adams has criticised IRA actions on several occasions – they close ranks against the common enemy. To ask for Sinn Fein to disentangle itself from the IRA is to miss the point about the way Republicanism’s dynamics have operated over the last two decades, driving the movement in a steadily political direction. The link, far from being an obstacle to any settlement, is indispensable to it.
The ceasefire in September 1994 came about because the political men in the movement could argue convincingly that the political road promised more than the military campaign. The Army was sceptical, many in the Party were also doubtful, fearing that the British and Unionists would misread the IRA’s unilateral cessation as a surrender. In Belfast, a month earlier, I had a short talk with Adams. ‘The Army,’ Adams said, ‘are proving flexible. We’ve been working with Dublin and Hume, and it’s really now just a question of tying up the loose ends.’ A ceasefire, he said, was on. How long would it last, I asked. Three months? Six months? ‘If the Brits sit on their hands it would be hard to maintain a ceasefire for that length of time.’ Adams said he believed that if the British failed to respond seriously, the IRA ‘could gel back to war’. Given that, the most surprising thing about the Canary Wharf bomb is not that it exploded but that it took so long in coming, for as far as Republicans are concerned, the ‘Brits’ sat on their hands for a year and a half.
Republicans always knew it was unlikely that there would be any immediate movement on the complex constitutional issues affecting the long-term relationship between the North Of Ireland, Dublin and London. They were prepared for protracted talks and they were also prepared to be pragmatic. Sinn Fein leaders insist – like all politicians they have their constituency – that the aims of the Party remain the same as they have always been: British disengagement and unification. But recent public formulations of this historic goal have subtly changed. It is no longer – and has not been for some time – ‘Brits Out Now’ and a 32-county socialist republic, but a commitment to ‘ending the union with Britain and to the establishment of a new, agreed and inclusive Ireland’. To Unionists the new language is sophistry, but it reflects a very real shift in Republican thinking over the last decade. Brits Out Now, a member of the Árd Chomhairle told me, is the worst possible scenario for Republicans and for Ireland as a whole. ‘It would leave a million very angry Unionists in Ireland.’ When I asked where this left the 32-county socialist republic, he said: ‘That’s on the back burner for now.’
Republicans may have known there was no easy fix on the constitutional question, but they expected a start to be made – hence Sinn Fein’s repeated calls, supported by the Irish Government and John Hume, for all-party talks. John Major’s refusal to set a date for the talks until the IRA had taken steps towards decommissioning its weapons (which had not been an issue in the secret discussions before the ceasefire) increasingly frustrated Sinn Fein negotiators and fomented suspicions about British intentions, but it would not necessarily have led to Canary Wharf had the British made smaller, less controversial concessions. There are those, of course, who argue that any concession is a surrender to terrorism and ‘the men of violence’. However, the fact is that the 1994 ceasefire was exactly that – a ceasefire, not a surrender. To keep the show on the road concessions of some sort were essential. The alternative was the resumption of a war neither side can win.
Some concessions would have been more difficult than others, though at some point they would have had to be addressed. Unionist and Loyalist politicians resolutely opposed any suggestion of RUC reform or of a reduction in troop levels, for example, but there could have been little objection to an economic peace dividend. The IRA’s most signal achievement may yet prove to be that it kept Thatcherite monetarism out of the Six Counties: in direct contrast to other regional economies, the North continues to enjoy relatively generous taxpayers’ support – the idea was to buy loyalty. But public subsidies and a large public sector are no alternative to a real economy. In West Belfast there are pockets of unemployment reaching 85 per cent. However, the ceasefire brought no peace dividend, nor has one job been created. Quite the reverse: 1500 ACE-scheme places – by which people may continue to draw benefits while earning a small additional amount in specially designated jobs – are to be cut, and the Royal Victoria Hospital is to be closed, with the loss of hundreds of local jobs.
The most obvious concession available to the Government, one that apart from anything else would have bought time for more difficult constitutional obstacles to be overcome, was the early release of prisoners. The Unionists would have opposed it, but as John Hume once said, take ‘no’ out of the English language and the Unionists would be speechless. ‘Bringing the prisoners home’ resonates deeply in the Nationalist consciousness. It is a highly emotive issue, even among those who do not support the IRA and would not think of voting for Sinn Fein. Although the Government insists that IRA prisoners are common criminals, most people in Ireland, while abhorring the individual acts that led to imprisonment, recognise that were it not for the political situation the men and women now in jail would never have seen the inside of a police cell let alone a high security prison. Republicans insisted that any settlement would have to involve the release of Republican and Loyalist prisoners from jails in the North, the Irish Republic and England. This time last year, they were confident there would be movement on this issue. They were to be disappointed. While the Dublin Government introduced a programme of phased releases – suspended since the Canary Wharf bomb – the British contented themselves with the reintroduction last summer of 50 per cent remission, a privilege prisoners in the North had enjoyed until 1989, when remission was reduced to one third. Though this led to the quick release of a number of men and women who were nearing the end of their sentences, Sinn Fein’s POW department described the initiative as inadequate. However, given the treatment IRA prisoners were receiving in English jails, those in the North could Count themselves lucky.
Irish prisoners in England have long campaigned for transfer to jails in the North in order to be nearer their families. The Home Office has rarely agreed to such moves, but within days of the ceasefire – and quite separately from it – three men were transferred. There was a small to-do in Parliament and the right-wing press with the result that the civil servants responsible received a slating from Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, and a new policy was instituted, barring the transfer of any prisoner without ministerial approval. The whole process then went into low gear as transfers were delayed or refused altogether. In January 1995, in an effort to prevent the transfer of Paul Norney, who had by then served 20 years, the Crown Prosecution Service charged him with mutiny. The charge was later thrown out in both the magistrates’ and crown courts as an abuse of process. The following month, the Lord Chief Justice, reviewing the cases of Norney and four other lifers, said he saw no reason why any of them should remain in prison any longer. They were not released, however, because Howard referred their cases to a discretionary panel, which did not meet until December. In the interim, the High Court had ruled that they were serving too long a time because their tariffs had expired in July. Three of the men won their panel hearings and were released, but not allowed to return to Ireland because of the terms of their probation order. Norney, who had meanwhile been transferred to the North, was not released because he had not been present for his lifer panel. The fifth man, Brendan Dowd, was not released because he was judged not to have ‘sufficiently addressed his offending behaviour’. The case that did most to outrage Republicans was that of Patrick Kelly, convicted some three years ago of conspiracy to cause explosions and sentenced to 25 years. Kelly was confined in a special secure unit in Full Sutton, where his medical condition – he is suffering from melanoma – went completely untreated. He was moved to another prison and eventually taken to hospital in chains to undergo extensive surgery on his back. Since the ceasefire three other IRA lifers – Pat Magee, Paul Kavanagh and Tommy Quigley – have been informed that their tariffs have been raised to 50 years, a decision now being challenged in the courts. Republicans bitterly contrast the treatment of IRA prisoners with that of the paratrooper Lee Clegg, released after serving less than two years for murder and promoted to sergeant.
As far as the peace process was concerned, the point about Howard’s initiatives is whether he was implementing them in opposition to his cabinet colleagues’ wishes. If he was, then the Government could hardly be said to have had a coherent policy on prisoners and the peace process; if he was not, John Major and Sir Patrick Mayhew were sending clear signals to Sinn Fein and the IRA about their larger intentions. A member of Sinn Fein’s POW department says that in their meetings with the Northern Ireland Office, officials seemed to accept the political dimension of the prisoner question. Yet after meeting Home Office officials to discuss the issue of IRA prisoners in English jails, they ‘came away thinking; “What century are these people from?” ’ (He says, incidentally, that Dublin civil servants privately complain about being treated like thick Paddies by the British side. ‘Paddy’ still looms large in the British official imagination. That’s how senior police officers, for example, refer to the IRA.) Republicans read Howard’s actions as being deliberately provocative; and it was not only Republicans who were disappointed. Breidge Gadd, Chief Probation Officer in the North of Ireland, recently attacked the Government for its handling of Irish prisoners in English jails, criticising the slowness on transfers and the probation requirements for those released. She made her criticisms, she said, ‘in the context of what Peter Brooke said – that if there was a ceasefire. Britain would be found to be both generous and imaginative.’
Had the British Government played the prisoner issue more adeptly, it’s likely that they could not only have kept the show on the road but succeeded in driving a wedge between the IRA and the prisoners’ families. ‘What if the Brits had said they would clear the jails by, say, the year 2000 as long as the ceasefire held?’ the wife of an IRA lifer, herself a Sinn Fein activist said to me. ‘Can you imagine the pressure on the IRA from the families? The Brits could have wrecked the movement if they’d played this different.’
All this is now academic. By the time the Mitchell Commission – set up after Bill Clinton’s visit last November, to find a way round the decommissioning issue – was ready to report, the patience of the Army was nearing its end. John Major’s unfortunate attempt to finesse the report and take up the Unionist idea of elections was, for the IRA, an unambiguous signal that the British had no intention of seriously engaging with Republicans on any level. Major, who missed every opportunity to do business with the political men, played straight into the hands of those who argued all along that the only thing to which the British listen is the sound of bombs, especially if they go off in London. His and John Bruton’s denials notwithstanding, the subsequent decision to set a date for all-party talks has only served to confirm this long-standing Republican axiom.
The door is still open, just about – in spite of the Government’s refusal to invite Sinn Fein to the latest round of talks about talks, which started on 4 March. The evidence is that Republicans still want a negotiated settlement. In the North, every Sinn Feiner I talked to was unhappy that the situation had deteriorated to this extent. The Party’s supporters desperately want the peace process to restart. All the polls show that people in Ireland want to see an end to the conflict; they also show a clear majority in favour of all-party talks without preconditions. Adams says he wants the peace process restarted, so does McGuinness. Nothing new there perhaps. But a fresh and unexpected voice made itself heard recently. Joe O’Connell, one of the Balcombe Street IRA unit captured in 1975, wrote to An Phoblacht, Sinn Fein’s newspaper, from his prison cell in England, to castigate the IRA for having broken the ceasefire: he described the decision as ‘the most stupid, blinkered and ill-conceived decision ever made by a revolutionary body’. O’Connell, a highly respected figure within the Army, said he didn’t believe ‘returning to the armed struggle can be justified in any way in the light of the past 18 months of peace ... Our people and supporters deserve better than for us to turn back the clock and ask them to carry the pain and burden of further years of conflict for what in the end we know and accept has to be a negotiated settlement.’ Above all else, O’Connell’s letter de monstrates the extent to which the physical force men have rethought their position. Has John Major noticed? | <urn:uuid:3dc519aa-4bde-42ed-b285-bc021796786f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://blog.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v18/n06/ronan-bennett/the-party-and-the-army | 2021-12-03T22:49:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362919.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203212721-20211204002721-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.977689 | 7,128 | [

Tony Gwynn Jr. was under contract through 2013 and was a popular player in the Dodgers’ clubhouse.
That’s not enough to save your job in these cutthroat times. Gwynn’s lack of offensive production caught up to him Monday, when the Dodgers designated the 29-year-old outfielder for assignment.
Gwynn was hitting .298 on May 22 but has hit just .194 since to lower his season average to .232. He had just three pinch-hits during the tailspin, further diminishing his value in an outfield that included starters Shane Victorino, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier.
All three have Gold Gloves on their resume and that also marginalized Gwynn, who was the Dodgers’ best defensive outfielder.
“It really was at the point with Shane, there really wasn’t any at-bats (for Gwynn),” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “There really wasn’t any double-switching. And if Matt would get hurt, Shane’s going to flip over into center.
“Looking at Juan (Rivera) and Jerry (Hairston Jr.) who are going to play, you’ve got five outfielders in that respect.”
Gwynn, much like veteran Bobby Abreu, helped the team survive a rash of injuries to outfielders in the first half, then fell into a slump.
Abreu was designated for assignment when the Dodgers acquired Victorino from the Philadelphia Phillies last week.
Gwynn is now off the 40-man roster. The Dodgers can return him to the 40-man roster in 10 days – which seems unlikely – or waive, trade or release him.
“Tony’s been a special guy, a guy that works and kind of does everything you ask,” Mattingly said. “He’s really been a big part of the attitude, the way guys work, I think last year and this year. It bothers you even thinking about it when you know you have to do it.
“This wasn’t a good day.”
It was for Jerry Sands, who was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Gwynn’s place on the active roster.
Sands, 24, started in right field Monday and also can play first base.
He was leading all Pacific Coast League hitters with nine home runs, a .733 slugging percentage and 28 RBIs since the Triple-A All-Star break.
Overall, he’s batting .286 with 21 home runs and 82 RBIs in 95 games.
Sands hit two grand slams in a game July 29, a testament to the progress he’s made rediscovering his swing. In spring training, he batted .158 while fighting mechanical issues.
“I’d say I’ve pretty much had two or three total swing changes the last two years,” said Sands, who batted .200 (4 for 20) during an eight-game call-up in May. “I’ve kind of applied what I was doing with my swing then to my older swing. It’s kind of clicked.”
Stadium changes ahead
The Dodgers named Janet Marie Smith as senior vice president of planning and development. She will oversee upgrades and enhancements to Dodger Stadium.
Team president Stan Kasten specifically mentioned the need for structural upgrades such as power, water and systems. He said engineers are submitting bids for those projects and work could begin in the off-season. He also reiterated his desire to have “more in the way of activities-slash-entertainment areas.”
Smith, who oversaw the construction of Camden Yards in Baltimore and the renovation of Fenway Park in Boston, will bring her own ideas.
“We gave her a list from my having spent some time here,” Kasten said. “She’s taken that, refined it, expanded it and then of course she’ll tell me all the things she sees.”
Smith and Kasten worked together on upgrades to Turner Field when Kasten was president of the Atlanta Braves.
“It’s going to take several years probably to do all the things we want,” he said.
Mattingly said Adam Kennedy will continue his rehabilitation from a strained right groin with Triple-A Albuquerque today, then rejoin the Dodgers Friday in Miami if he’s healthy. Kennedy went 4 for 16 with a double and four strikeouts for the Single-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes last week. … The Rockies announced first baseman Todd Helton will undergo season-ending surgery on his right hip labrum. Helton was placed on the 15-day disabled list and second baseman Chris Nelson was activated prior to the game. Helton, a 16-year-veteran, was hitting .238 with seven home runs in 69 games. … Mattingly had to shuffle his rotation Sunday to accommodate Joe Blanton. One reason why Monday’s starter, Chris Capuano, didn’t get an extra day’s rest and today’s starter, Aaron Harang, got two: Capuano is 7-11 with a 5.19 ERA pitching on six or more days’ rest. Harang is 12-12 with a 4.24 ERA, on par with his career record of 102-100 and 4.22 ERA. | <urn:uuid:37ae2931-f232-4d67-926a-5faee1eaf050> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.dailybreeze.com/2012/08/06/dodgers-notebook-gwynn-designated-for-assignment/ | 2021-12-03T22:55:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362919.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203212721-20211204002721-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.970964 | 1,157 | [

Four firefighters were injured after flames broke out on State Street in Perth Amboy.
Officials say the blast blew the wall out by the back staircase - the staircase that residents used to escape.
Eric Hernandez was jolted out of bed around 4 a.m. He grabbed his kids and ran.
"Yeah - explosion and come outside everybody," he said.
Perth Amboy Fire Department Chief Edward Mullen said that crews arrived to find glass all over the street, as well as a heavy fire in the basement.
Hours after explosion in basement, building demolished; concerns will collapse, FFs couldn’t put out hot spots. 12 residents on 2nd floor of Perth Amboy State St. building escaped unharmed 4am. 4 firefighters minor injuries. 18 families in 3 adjacent buildings also evacuated. pic.twitter.com/20uayzZkrO— CeFaan Kim (@CeFaanKim) November 18, 2018
Officials say that whatever it was that blew up was in the basement, below the ground floor restaurant.
The twelve residents on the second floor of the building escaped unharmed.
Four firefighters were injured. It took more than a hundred firefighters more than two hours to get flames under control.
Residents in three adjacent buildings also had to be evacuated - 18 families in all.
"The one wall facing Dekalb Street was already bowing out, so in order to keep the public safe, we wanted to make sure the building was down," added Chief Mullen.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The 18 displaced families could possibly return home Sunday night after a gas check.
The injured firefighters were all treated and released from the hospital.

recently conducted a survey of personal digital assistant (PDA) users and determined that 92 percent of those polled would access a corporate portal or Intranet from a mobile device at least once a day if they had the technology. More than 74 percent of the respondents said that accessing their company corporate information via a PDA would be more or equally useful to them than from a desktop PC.
The overall sentiment of the poll was that mobile access to company data such as corporate and personnel directories, training and education materials, company news and press releases, and corporate policies and guidelines would significantly increase productivity when away from the office.
With this supporting data in mind, AvantGo Wednesday began shipping the M-Business Server 5.0 Web Edition, a mobile infrastructure alternative to its more costly AvantGo M-Business Server 5.0 Application Edition that was released last month for supporting mobile enterprise applications, XML web services, and the Internet on mobile and wireless devices.
The 5.0 Web Edition is targeted at businesses that want to provide wireless, Web-based access to business information stored on corporate portals and Intranets for employees in the field at a third of the price per user than that of the Application Edition.
Using Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, Vignette, or Interwoven, corporate IT managers can create customized content channels and then remotely subscribe individual end users to these channels from a centrally accessible, web-based console. Channels can be delivered wirelessly or via cradle synchronization to mobile devices.
The 5.0 supports HTML 3.2, graphics, tables, and pull down menus, in addition to online and offline form collection and submission, and can function on a variety of mobile operating systems based on Palm OS, Pocket PC, and RIM BlackBerry, and wireless devices manufactured by HP/Compaq, Symbol, Palm, Sony, and Handspring.
Customized versions of the 5.0 Web Edition have been successfully adapted by the U.S. Senate, Alcatel, petroleum conglomerate BP, and Harvard Medical School, which uses the mobile solution so that medical students can interact with course calendars, class notes, and syllabi on handheld devices.
The release of the M-Business Server 5.0 Application was warmly received by industry heavyweights McKesson Corporation, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Microsoft, Palm, Onyx Software, E.piphany, Plumtree Software, and Arcadia, Telispark, and AvantGo is reportedly in talks with several companies, including Microsoft and Palm, to integrate AvantGo solutions with other mobile offerings. | <urn:uuid:11012999-17fd-4d66-a83b-9a5a42161784> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.internetnews.com/enterprise/avantgo-discounts-its-m-business-server/ | 2021-12-08T16:20:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363515.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208144647-20211208174647-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.916814 | 653 | [

The bright and crisp brilliance of Yellow Sapphire stone is not only mesmerizing but also charismatic. This amazing gemstone is available in myriad colors ranging from pale to deep yellow. There’s nothing as enchanting as a flawless Yellow Sapphire studded in a beautiful jewel. But, choosing the right jewelry is never an easy task. You need to ascertain the authenticity of gemstone and quality of metal in which it is encrusted. Here are some tips that may help:
- Color of the Gem: It is needless to say that color is the first thing that you notice in a gemstone. When looking to buy Yellow Sapphire jewelry, you must carefully check the tone and saturation of color in the gemstone. Preferably, go for a vibrant canary yellow with a medium to deep saturation.
- Clarity of the Gem: The natural and untreated Yellow Sapphire is deemed to be the Type I gemstone. It is usually free from inclusions that may diminish its value. But, if you find a flawless stone at extremely low prices, consider it a red flag because this can be glass or synthetic imitation of the real stone.
- Cut of the Gem: Sapphire is a wonderful stone that can be cut in any shape including traditional oval, round, or cushion. You can also find natural Yellow Sapphire ring in a fancy cut like pear, trillion, triangle, or heart. Choose the right cut that reflects the perfect light and aura.
- Carat Weight of the Gem: Like any other gem, Yellow Sapphire’s value is also determined by its carat weight. It can be hard to find large sapphires because they are extremely rare and pricey. The stones above 5 carats of weight carry a higher price tag than the lighter stones.
- Origin of the Gem: When you are looking to buy an authentic Yellow Sapphire online, it is important to ask about the origin of this gem. Typically, Yellow Sapphires are found in the regions of Thailand, Australia, Tanzania, and Madagascar. But Sri Lanka is the main source of this gemstone. So, prefer Ceylonese Yellow Sapphire for your jewelry.
- Durability and Strength of the Gem: After the diamonds, Yellow Sapphire is the strongest and hardest gemstone having a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Therefore, it is selected for making beautiful jewels like rings, bracelets, and pendants. Remember, Yellow Sapphire or Pukhraj stone price can be slightly higher for high-quality gems.
- Heat Treatment of the Gem: To enhance the color of Yellow Sapphire, traditional heating methods may be used. This treatment makes permanent changes to the composition of the stone. But you should buy natural and untreated stones for their spectacular beauty and immense metaphysical benefits.
- Price of the Jewelry: Sometimes, when buying gemstone jewelry, you may be put off by the Yellow Sapphire stone price which is typically on a higher side. To remain within your budget, refine your choices and compare the prices at various stores until you get the right jewelry at the right price. GemPundit can be a great starting point for you. On their online gemstone store, you can find a huge collection of natural Yellow Sapphire in various price range. So, you can easily choose the one that fits your budget without taking the hassle to roam shop to shop.
- Metal used in the Jewelry: The choice of metal used in the jewelry depends on the shade of the gem. Pastel shades of yellow look better on white gold, sterling silver, and platinum while richer hues go well with darker metals like gold.
- Properties of the Gem: Gemstone jewelry is not only a beautiful addition to your wardrobe but also a symbol of good luck and fortunes. When buying yellow sapphire, you must know about its properties and benefits to wear accordingly.
These are the top 10 things to be considered before you buy yellow sapphire jewelry from an online store like gempundit.com. | <urn:uuid:827e8355-be0e-48b7-8ca3-b58989ce50a2> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://fashionsky.biz/10-things-to-consider-before-buying-yellow-sapphire-jewelry/ | 2021-11-27T16:53:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358208.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127163427-20211127193427-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.909546 | 813 | [

The Goocha is without a doubt one of the leading sea-food restaurants in Tel Aviv (and in the whole of the country, for that matter). Since many kinds of sea-food are non-kosher, finding good sea-food in Israel (a Jewish state, for those of you who forgot) may be more challenging than in some other countries. In Goocha, where the distinction between Kosher and non-kosher food does not really exist, you will be able to find a rather large variety of sea-food, ranging from traditional fish dishes to more special shrimp , calamari, mussels and crab dishes - all for fairly reasonable prices, from between 50 NIS to a bit over 100 NIS. For all you non sea-food eaters, other options are also available: personally I would recommend either the entrecote, the hamburger or the delicious chicken in curry and coconut sauce. Goocha is conveniently and centrally located on 171 Dizengoff St. (on the corner with Ben-Gurion Blvd.) - close to much of the action that Tel Aviv has to offer, and nearby to most of the hotels (and the beach) as well. Bon Apetite. | <urn:uuid:e94d2f3c-8e70-47f0-b74a-90e22375d3b9> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://telavivarchitecture.com/places-to-eat-in-tel-aviv-goocha/ | 2021-11-27T16:35:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358208.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127163427-20211127193427-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.959298 | 249 | [

How is a Corset Different from a Waist Trainer?
Many people get confused between Corsets and Waist Trainers because most times, the names are used interchangeably. But it is essential to understand the difference between both of them so that you can pick the right one.
Similarities in a Corset and a Waist Trainer
Before heading towards the differences, it will be a great idea to check out the similarities between them.
- Undergarment Option:
Most women consider corsets or waist trainers to be great undergarment options—both help offer support to your body parts and provide you an adequately toned figure. So, when you wear these under your dress, people around you will notice how amazing your figure is.
- Reduced Waist:
The most crucial task that corsets or a waist trainer do is reduce your waist or tummy size. The corsets or the waist trainers work on your waist area to make them appear smaller in a dress. Also, they work in your abdomen area to flatten it so that you can wear a body-hugging clothing with confidence.
Differences Between a Corset and a Waist Trainer
Going further, now you should know the differences between a corset and a waist trainer.
- The Purpose:
The purpose of a corset and a waist trainer are almost the same. But experts mention that a waist trainer is much more effective than a corset. A corset will slowly and comfortably help in reducing your waist. It depends a lot on your body type and also the kind of corset that you are wearing. But a waist trainer is designed to compress your waist area much faster than a corset. Thus, it is not as comfortable as a corset. If you wish to attain a proper figure much quicker, you should go for a waist trainer. But if you also look for comfort, a corset is the best option for you.
- The Design:
Corsets and waist trainers have a fabric with steel bones in them. But a waist trainer has a much more number of steel bones in comparison to a corset. You can check out the best corset sites such as Bunny Corset to know this differentiation much clearly. It is the steel bones that help you bring the waist in shape by molding the bones of your waist and training it. Also, the bones are placed in the right positions to have proper support and posture.
If you are looking for more flexibility, then you should always go for a corset. Corsets are designed so that you can be comfortable in it while you are doing other activities. But waist trainers are designed in a much strict way to offer you an adequately defined shape solely. You will not be able to do several activities wearing a waist trainer as it will restrict your movement. If you are thinking of wearing something for a long time, you should choose a corset.
- Different Types:
If you are looking for several types, you will not find such variations in a waist trainer's case. There are only a few of the types that you can get in this section. But if you are choosing a corset, you can come across a wide range of options. If you visit a proper website such as Bunny Corset, you will come across different corsets options available. You can choose from an overbust, underbust, curvy, and many other corsets. But you might lack such options in the case of a waist trainer.
Which One is Better?
There is no definite answer to this question: one is better between a corset and a waist trainer. While a waist trainer is entirely into strict training of your waist, the corsets can offer a bit of flexibility and relaxation to you. You might also not get many designs and appearances in the case of waist trainers that you can get in a corset. Many people also prefer to wear a corset above their dresses, such as an Overbust Corset over a shirt. But now, manufacturers are experimenting with providing an exciting look at the waist trainers too.
It would help if you decided upon your priorities and requirements so that you can choose the right one from them.
Corsets and waist trainers have been there for ages and are now again back in demand. People often confuse between them both and land up getting the wrong option for them. Understand the differences can help them in knowing the items individually. If you have understood how both of them are different from each other, you can surely get the best option for you. Also, checking through a good corset site will also help you in knowing the difference well and understanding which one will suit your requirements the most. | <urn:uuid:4d363fe5-5afb-4275-919a-88017696ec19> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.bunnycorset.com/collections/how-is-a-corset-different-from-a-waist-trainer | 2021-11-27T18:23:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358208.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127163427-20211127193427-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.96005 | 971 | [

Since the launch of its first collection of footwear jewel in New York, in 1994, Giuseppe Zanotti has bewitched the world of fashion with its visionary design, elaborate and always innovative. Its mix of innocence and rock ‘n’ roll, elegance and sensuality, craftsmanship and futuristic aesthetic, make each shoe Giuseppe Zanotti one piece, whose incomparable quality is guaranteed by traditional techniques with which it is implemented. Despite the many successes over the past two decades, which have seen the company expand globally and add handbags, jewelry, men’s footwear and ready-to-wear to their collections, the spirit of its founder has remained unchanged. His tireless creativity is born of love for art, music, design, and his mission: to bring to the feet of women the most beautiful shoes in the world.
The singer has just announced that she is to create a capsule collection of footwear and accessories for luxury Italian shoe label Giuseppe Zanotti, launching in January.
“I think it goes without saying that like every other girl, I love a killer pair of shoes,” says Lopez, 47. “Whether I’m walking the red carpet or dressed casually, the right shoes complete my outfit to make me feel beautiful, sexy, and fearless. The collection Giuseppe and I have created is everything you would expect from the both of us—bad ass high heels with shapes that are fierce and of course, have some sparkle!”
Giuseppe for Jennifer Lopez will feature styles including crystal-encrusted open-toe booties, embellished wedge sneakers, and gladiators in snakeskin-print leather in a palette of pastels, cool greys, and warm beiges. Two bag styles complete the collection.
“I’ve always been inspired by Jennifer and love the way she looks in my shoes—it was a natural evolution to collaborate together,” says Giuseppe Zanotti. “The collection, like Jennifer, is sensual, sophisticated, modern but also playful and edgy.”
Giuseppe for Jennifer Lopez will be available in Giuseppe Zanotti Design stores, online at giuseppezanottidesign.com, as well as in selected retailers around the world.

This is a subject that has been on my mind for quite some time. But now that baseball and softball season has started, it is something that I have seen come up quite a bit. Years ago the kids would at least sell something in order to raise money for their sports team. Now they pretty much stand outside of local businesses, with the can held out in front of them, doing what I can only call as organized begging. This is something that there are permits for, they are legally allowed to be there. But I cannot help but feel a mixture of guilt, and annoyance every time I see one of these little tykes out there, dressed in their uniforms, with at least one adult standing beside them, awkwardly asking for change.
It’s not as if you can pass by them and completely ignore them. I personally feel terrible if I don’t at least say hello–even if I don’t happen to have any cash on me at the time. But I think that exploiting the children’s cuteness to essentially beg passers by for money is just awful. At least in the past few years in my town, most of the organizations have given the parents the option of not doing the tagging–but they pay handsomely for that option.
I guess I am just not sure whatever happened to selling things and actually making the effort to make money. I see fewer and fewer car washes, candy bar sales, and other things that are actually giving the donor something in return (so it is more like the kids are actually earning the donation) and more of this “tagging” and I see it every year. My point is, there are so many other options for fundraising that are much better for the community, why resort to the can? 0403-15 | <urn:uuid:2363135b-ed62-4373-b774-8734cfa9d636> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://www.etiquettehell.com/?p=4558 | 2021-11-30T20:33:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359073.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130201935-20211130231935-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.981462 | 368 | [

Thierry Ehrmann was perhaps an unlikely candidate for scandal when he created a museum in 1999. Founder and CEO of the Serveur Group, a large company with over 400 employees and 70 billion Euros of annual revenue, and Artprice, ensuring Ehrmann spent many years deeply entrenched in the art world. But Ehrmann now finds himself embroiled in a legal battle that, at its core, questions whether art is more important than history.
In 1999, Ehrmann moved back to Lyon, his ancestral home, and began transforming his 17th-century house into a radical piece of ever-changing art. The home/museum was intended to reflect chaos, as its name “The Abode of Chaos” in English suggests. The installations reflect the political turmoil of the world: burned cars in the parking lot, a sculpture of the fallen World Trade Center towers, rubble walls, and falling cables. Ehrmann also plans to build walls that mimic the Berlin Wall and the separation barrier between Israel and the West Bank. The house is still being transformed by artists invited to work in situ at the abode.
But the city of Lyon has not been happy with the transformation of a prized architectural home into an “Abode of Chaos.” Ehrmann has been fined for illegal construction, and his legal battle has made it up to the French Supreme Court. Whether the court will appreciate Ehrmann’s vision for the “The Abode of Chaos” remains to be seen. | <urn:uuid:092d174c-be56-4866-ad47-f28f24ab30cf> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://assets.atlasobscura.com/places/the-abode-of-chaos-saint-romain-au-mont-dor-france | 2021-11-30T20:30:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359073.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130201935-20211130231935-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.96526 | 309 | [

Ya’akov settled in the land of the so journings of his father, in the land of Canaan. (Bereishis 37:1)
When Ya’akov had left home to escape Eisav after taking the blessings, he had been 63 years old and a single man. He then sat and learned in the yeshivah of Shem and Eiver for fourteen years before heading for Lavan’s house. He arrived there at the age of 77 years. Ya’akov worked seven years for Rachel, and then an additional seven years when Lavan switched Leah for Rachel, and stayed another six years before leaving for Canaan at the end of last week’s parshah, at the age of 97 years. He took two more years in transit, and arrived at this week’s parshah at the age of 99.
And his troubles had only begun. If Ya’akov hadn’t aged naturally until this point, the next 22 years of his life, from the time that his favorite son Yosef would mysteriously disappear and then reappear, would certainly do the trick. This is why, as the rabbis point out, Pharaoh (in Parashas Vayigash, 47:8) felt compelled to ask Ya’akov his age, for, he looked much older than he ought to have.
As a side note, it is interesting to point out the following:
It is also taught by the House of Rabban Gamliel: They did not say, “Become healed” in the Study Hall because of waste of [time in] the Study Hall. (Brochos 53a)
The Talmud is referring to a common practice that continues even into this day, that is, to say “Bless you!” after someone sneezes. For us, it is more of a tradition, more of a gesture of goodwill; however, as the “Gilyon HaShas” explains (on the side of the page of Talmud), it could have been a matter of life and death:
” … From Pirkei d’Rebi Eliezer, Chapter 52, we learn that from the time that G-d made Heaven and Earth a person never became ill. Rather, he could be along his way or in the marketplace, and sneeze, and his soul would leave him through his nostrils. Ya’akov Avinu came along and said, “Master of the Universe! Please don’t take my soul until I can command my sons and daughters, and He listened to him. Therefore, a person is obligated upon sneezing, “Life!” because death was turned to light …” (Gilyon HaShas, Brochos 53a)
Death is never something to be sneezed at, especially until the time of Ya’akov Avinu, for that was the very cause of a person’s death. The soul was breathed into the first man through his nostrils, and that is from where it leaves as well. There were probably no allergies in those early days, and people probably avoided things that itched the nose, because, any sneeze could be the fatal one. Until Ya’akov Avinu’s time, if someone sneezed and survived, it was reason to celebrate!
Hence, as recent as 2208 (from creation), that is, 3,552 years ago, the physical nature of man was changed. Even from Avraham to Ya’akov there seems to have been a significant difference. Though it is true that Avraham is called an “old man” before dying, and that Yitzchak was blind, still, they seemed to have maintained a certain amount of virility all the way to the end of their lives. By the time Ya’akov stands before Pharaoh, he seems to have become a beaten and weathered man.
In a sense, this mirrors the descending into exile of the Jewish people. The period of the Avos was a special unique time, a singular epoch in world history, never to be repeated again. And, even though Ya’akov would recover his favorite son at the end of his life, and know only peace and tranquillity the last seventeen years of his life, still, one can sense the world itself entering into a long period of exile during this phase of Ya’akov’s life that would only really come to an end in Moshiach’s time–perhaps before our very eyes.
Thinking along these helps to connect up this week’s parshah with this period of history.
He (Yosef) dreamed again and told it to his brothers. He said, “I have dreamed another dream. The sun, the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” He related it to his father and his brothers. His father berated him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall we really come, I, your mother, and your brothers, to bow down to you to the ground!” (Bereishis 37:9-10)
Starting from Parashas Vayaitzai, when Ya’akov dreamed of the ladder that reached into Heaven, dreams have become a reality. Now, in this week’s parshah, dreams have become a central part of the overall plot that is going to have a dramatic effect on ALL of Jewish history. It will be dreams that will cause Yosef to be reduced to a slave, and, in Parashas Mikeitz, it will be dreams that will free Yosef from prison and elevate him to second-in-command over Egypt. It is worthwhile to discuss the topic of dreams.
First of all, there is the following:
The prophet that has had a dream, let him relate his dream–he has received My word; let him speak the word of truth. “What does straw have to do with corn?” says G-d … (Yirmiyahu 23:28). What connection is there between straw and corn, and a dream? Rebi Yochanan said in the name of Rebi Shimon: Just as it is impossible for corn to be without straw, so is it impossible for a dream to be without some nonsense. Rebi Berachyah said: When it comes to dreams, even though part may come true, not all of it will come true. We can learn this from Yosef, for it is written, “The sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars … [Ya’akov answered Yosef] ‘Shall we really come, I, your mother …’.” (Bereishis 37:9)–at that time his mother (Rachel] was already dead. (Brochos 55a)
Having said this, the Talmud then goes on to add:
Rebi Levi said: A person should look forward to the fulfillment of a good dream for twenty-two years, for, it says, “These are the generations of Ya’akov: Yosef was seven years old …” (Bereishis 37:1), and then it later says, “Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh …” (Bereishis 41:46). Now, how many years are there between seventeen and thirty? Thirteen. Add to this seven years of plenty and two years of famine, and you arrive at twenty-two. (Brochos 55b)
–and that is when Yosef’s brothers came down to Egypt in search of food, and bowed down to him just as he had dreamed twenty-two years earlier.
In the book, “Derech Hashem” (“The Way of G-d”), by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (“Ramchal”), the concept of dreams is also discussed (3:1:6). There, the Ramchal discusses sleep in general, and dreams specifically. Though, he says, dreams can result from various different sources and stimulants, one source is the result of a loosening of the bond between souls within a person during sleep itself.
As a result of this loosening of souls, the higher levels are allowed to roam somewhat freely in the spiritual realm, interacting with spiritual beings such as angels. It is a realm that is above time, and associated with prophecy. What is perceived by these levels of soul — including information about the future — can often be transmitted down to the lowest level of soul that remained with the body the entire time, keeping it alive.
The images themselves are projected onto a “screen,” something we call the “imagination.” However, in the imagination, such images usually intermingle with all other images that can result from a number of physical sources, making it next to impossible to discern truth from falsehood, in most cases.
Unless, that is, G-d wants the person to know what was transmitted to him during his sleep, either because he is a prophet with a message to deliver to the Jewish people (in such a case, the dream is of a much higher quality), or, because the individual is meant to know what he was shown for a reason only G-d may know at the time. The Talmud even states:
If one wakes up in the morning with a [Torah] verse in his mouth, it is a minor form of prophecy. (Brochos 57b)
Rabbi Chaim Vital wrote:
” … Likewise, every night when a person sleeps and he deposits his soul and ascends to Above — the one who merits to ascend is taught the particular explanation [of Torah] that is crucial for the rectification of the root of his soul. Depending upon what he achieved that day [spiritually], that is what they teach him that night — one verse, or a certain section, and that night it will be clearer to him than at any other time … Every night, my master (the Arizal) used to look at the student who was before him, and see on his forehead the verse that was best revealed through that person … He would clarify a little of that verse, according to the explanation relevant to his soul. Before the person went to sleep, he would concentrate on the explanation and say the verse, in order that when he would ascend Above he would be ready to be taught the explanation in its entirety … They would reveal other things to him as well … (Sha’ar HaGilgulim, 17)
People often speak of going to bed with a difficult question and waking up with the answer; this can help to explain why. And, even though the Talmud calls sleep “one-sixtieth of death,” that is only with respect to the body, which has been temporarily paralyzed. As far as the soul is concerned (and the body once it wakes up), sleep can be a crucial time for reaching into levels of consciousness that, for many people, are closed off during waking hours.
However, as Rabbi Chaim Vital warned: this is entirely based upon a person’s spiritual accomplishments from the previous day.
While she (Tamar) was being taken out, she sent for her father-in-law saying, “I am pregnant by the man to whom these belong. Please identify to whom this signet ring, cloak, and staff belong.” Yehudah recognized [them] and said, “She has been more righteous than me …” (Bereishis 38:25-26)
There are some stories in Tanach that you simply don’t start with, not when teaching children and not when doing outreach. They are in the Torah, so they are true — absolutely true. And they are holy, just as every word of Torah is. And, if they’re in the Torah, then it is because G-d wants them there, and because they teach a crucial moral lesson about the service of G-d.
Nevertheless. Nevertheless, such accounts can be uncomfortable because, even by Western standards, they raise eyebrows — not because the average person is above such an act, but, because the average person appreciates that the characters in question ought to have been above such acts.
Take the story of Yehudah and his daughter-in-law Tamar. That Tamar was desperate to remarry after losing her first two husbands is understandable. That Yehudah, after losing his own wife, would want to remarry again — after the appropriate period of mourning — is equally acceptable. However, that Tamar would dress up as a women of ill-repute to catch the attention of her own father-in-law, and that Yehudah would fall for the ploy, thinking that she was what she appeared to be, is a difficult “pill” to swallow.
Or is it?
It depends upon how one is reading the story, and what one is focusing on. If the reader is merely “peeking” in on a character’s personal life, then he might be horrified to find out what was going on “behind the scenes.” The reader is then forced to shake his head and say, “Tsk, tsk, tsk … We expect more from our leaders.”
However, for the last three parshios, we have not been merely studying the lives of Biblical characters from the remote past; we have been observing the formulation of the Jewish people — a supernatural people with a supernatural past and a supernatural future. In other words, a nation with whose existence G-d is constantly and directly involved.
When Tamar cleverly, but daringly challenged her father-in-law’s sense of honesty and responsibility, by sending back the belongings she had saved for that day, Yehudah responded:
“She has been more righteous than me …”
How did he know? How was he able to assume with certainty that the child his daughter-in-law was carrying was, in fact, legitimate (according to the pre-Torah laws of Levirate Marriage)? Well, the signet, the cloak, and the staff! Maybe yes, and maybe no. After all, we’re talking about the daughter of kohen over here, and, a married women … not to mention the honor of the leader of the Twelve Tribes.
The Talmud asks the same question, and has an important answer:
Three things were made known by Holy Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh): [once] in the Bais Din of Shem, [once] in the Bais Din of Shmuel HaRamsi, and [once] in the Bais Din of Shlomo. [We learn about] the Bais Din of Shem, as it says, “Yehudah recognized [them] and said, ‘She has been more righteous than me …’.” (Bereishis 38:25-26). How did he know [that the child was from him]? Maybe, just as he had been with her, perhaps another had also been with her? Thus, a voice [from Heaven] proclaimed, “From Me (G-d) are the hidden things!” (Makkos 23b)
That is, the whole fiasco and near catastrophe originated with G-d. Elsewhere, the Midrash says that Yehudah wasn’t even going in Tamar’s direction, but that an angel came along and “steered” Yehudah towards her. That doesn’t mean that Yehudah is blameless in the whole affair; quite the contrary (as we have discussed in previous years), it was his own approach to life that set him up for this source of great embarrassment.
However, in the end, though these stories do reveal the mistakes made by the great individuals of the past and fathers of the Jewish nation, their main mission is to convey that, when it comes to Jewish history, the nice events and the not-so-nice ones all emanate from G-d. They reveal to us how, behind the scenes, G-d helps His people achieve goals that we, on our own, might completely overlook or fail to achieve.
When G-d will reign, the earth will rejoice … numerous islands will rejoice. (Tehillim 97:1)
Conveniently, this tehillah, the third of Kabbalos Shabbos and eighth from Moshe Rabbeinu, is dedicated to the tribe of Yosef. The first few verses describe the conquering of Eretz Canaan at the hands of Yehoshua, a descendant of Yosef. However, according to the Midrash Avakir, this tehillah is also an allusion to the future, when G-d will reign over all of the earth forever.
Yosef has a major role to play in that final victory of good over evil as well, as we have seen in Rashi:
Ya’akov settled in the land of the sojournings of his fathers, in the Land of Canaan. These are the generations of Ya’akov: Yosef was seventeen years old … (Bereishis 37:1)
“Ya’akov settled … A flax-driver came into town with camels laden with flax. A smithy wondered, ‘Where will all this flax go?’ A certain wise-guy answered, ‘One spark from your bellow will burn it up!’ Thus Ya’akov saw all the chieftains of Eisav mentioned in the previous chapter and asked, ‘Who will be able to conquer them?’ What’s written after? ‘These are the generations of Ya’akov: Yosef …’ as it says, ‘The house of Ya’akov will be fire, the house of Yosef will be a flame, and the house of Eisav will be straw’: one spark will go out from Yosef and burn it (Eisav) all up.” (Rashi)
It is well-known in Talmudic and Midrashic literature that Moshiach ben Yosef — the first Moshiach who will descend from the tribe of Yosef — will pave the way for Moshiach ben Dovid, the final Moshiach and redeemer of the Jewish people. Just as Yehoshua from Ephraim (Yosef) preceded the kings from Yehudah, and Shaul (Binyomin) preceded Dovid (Yehudah), Moshiach been Yosef will precede Moshiach ben Yosef — and die heroically in battle (Succah 52a).
Unfortunately, the tribe of Yosef is one which was exiled by the Assyrians before the destruction of the First Temple, and is therefore part of the “Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.” Perhaps not everyone was exiled, and enough of the tribe of Yosef remains to produce one Moshiach ben Yosef for the generation of the Final Redemption. Perhaps the coming of Moshiach ben Yosef heralds the return of the Lost Tribes, after all these millennia. When the times comes, b”HY, we’ll know the truth.
And when Moshiach finally comes, what will we say then?
Of the many things we may want to say, according to Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, zt”l, we will certainly recite three brochos:
1. Blessed are You, Hashem, our G-d, King of the universe, Knower of secrets. (Recited upon seeing 600,000 or more Jews together.)
2. Blessed are You, Hashem, our G-d, King of the universe, Who has given of His wisdom to those who fear Him. (Recited upon seeing an outstanding Torah scholar.)
3. Blessed are You, Hashem, our G-d, King of the universe, Who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this time.
–the time of the Final Redemption, that is. Won’t it be nice to be able to make THAT brochah! Talk about dreams coming true …

Public speaker and philanthropist Glennon Doyle has a new book out today, and it's absolutely gorgeous — inside and out. A memoirist since 2013, Glennon Doyle's big break came in 2016, when her second memoir, Love Warrior, became an Oprah's Book Club pick. That book centered on Doyle's marriage to her now ex-husband, Craig Melton, who admitted to a year of infidelity when the two entered couples counseling. Although the book ended with Doyle and Melton renewing their vows, the two have since divorced. Doyle married Olympic gold medalist and soccer star Abby Wambach in 2017.
Now, Doyle is focused on life in the 21st century. According to The New York Times, Untamed tackles "sisterhood, body image, cheetahs (just go with it) and [Doyle's] efforts to better understand racism as a white woman." It's a triumphant call for women's empowerment from a woman whose story revolves around seizing happiness for herself, at great risk and for greater reward.
Keep scrolling to check out Bustle's exclusive excerpt from Untamed by Glennon Doyle, and pick up your copy from your favorite bookseller today:
Excerpt from Untamed, exclusive to Bustle
Our culture was built upon and benefits from the control of women. The way power justifies controlling a group is by conditioning the masses to believe that the group cannot be trusted. So the campaign to convince us to mistrust women begins early and comes from everywhere.
When we are little girls, our families, teachers, and peers insist that our loud voices, bold opinions, and strong feelings are “too much” and unladylike, so we learn to not trust our personalities.
Childhood stories promise us that girls who dare to leave the path or explore get attacked by big bad wolves and pricked by deadly spindles, so we learn to not trust our curiosity.
The beauty industry convinces us that our thighs, frizz, skin, fingernails, lips, eyelashes, leg hair, and wrinkles are repulsive and must be covered and manipulated, so we learn to not trust the bodies we live in.
Diet culture promises us that controlling our appetite is the key to our worthiness, so we learn to not trust our own hunger.
Politicians insist that our judgment about our bodies and futures cannot be trusted, so our own reproductive systems must be controlled by lawmakers we don’t know in places we’ve never been.
The legal system proves to us again and again that even our own memories and experiences will not be trusted. If twenty women come forward and say, “He did it,” and he says, “No, I didn’t,” they will believe him while discounting and maligning us every damn time.
And religion, sweet Jesus. The lesson of Adam and Eve — the first formative story I was told about God and a woman — was this: When a woman wants more, she defies God, betrays her partner, curses her family, and destroys the world.
We weren’t born distrusting and fearing ourselves. That was part of our taming. We were taught to believe that who we are in our natural state is bad and dangerous. They convinced us to be afraid of ourselves. So we do not honor our own bodies, curiosity, hunger, judgment, experience, or ambition. Instead, we lock away our true selves. Women who are best at this disappearing act earn the highest praise: She is so selfless.
Can you imagine? The epitome of womanhood is to lose one’s self completely.
That is the end goal of every patriarchal culture. Because a very effective way to control women is to convince women to control themselves.
I tried to control myself for so long.
I spent thirty years covering and injecting my face with potions and poison trying to fix my skin. Then I quit. And my skin was good.
For twenty years, I was attached to a hair dryer and straightener trying to tame my curls. Then I quit. And my hair was good.
I binged and purged and dieted for decades trying to control my body. When I quit, my body became what it was always meant to become. And it was good, too.
I numbed myself with food and booze trying to control my anger. When I quit, I learned that my anger never meant that there was something wrong with me. It meant that there was something wrong. Out there. Something I might have the power to change. I stopped being a quiet peacekeeper and started being a loud peacemaker. My anger was good.
I had been deceived. The only thing that was ever wrong with me was my belief that there was something wrong with me. I quit spending my life trying to control myself and began to trust myself. We only control what we don’t trust. We can either control our selves or love our selves, but we can’t do both. Love is the opposite of control. Love demands trust.
I love myself now. Self-love means that I have a relationship with myself built on trust and loyalty. I trust myself to have my own back, so my allegiance is to the voice within. I’ll abandon everyone else’s expectations of me before I’ll abandon myself. I’ll disappoint everyone else before I’ll disappoint myself. I’ll forsake all others before I’ll forsake myself. Me and myself: We are till death do us part.
What the world needs is more women who have quit fearing themselves and started trusting themselves.
What the world needs is masses of women who are entirely out of control.

Releasing on March 21st, you don't want to miss Salvation's Inferno by Kat Mizera!
"This book had me at the edge of my seat and I couldn´t put it down. It has everything, steamy sex, heart break, humor, drama and love."
Baseball superstar Dante Lamonte is a broken man. Reeling from the horrific double murder that took the lives of his pregnant fiancée as well as his best friend, he drowns in alcohol and sex, but never finds relief. Becca Hernandez is a sweet girl with terrible luck with men—and worse luck with sex. Her one-night stand with a man who is way out of her league was also totally out of her character. Dante took her out of her comfort zone… she loved everything he did to her, but she knows nothing can come of it. When their paths cross again, they can’t resist each other. One night of passion turns into much more, but they struggle to get through the bases of this new relationship. Dante’s demons may destroy him, and when details of their less than vanilla night are leaked to the press, Becca stands to lose everything—her job, her reputation and Dante. Love may be their only salvation. THIS IS A STANDALONE.

About the Author:Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast. Kat's a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she's not writing, she's either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach. Kat has been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles. As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

Paparazzi – a culture that had taken the intrusion of privacy for celebrities to a whole new level as till a few years ago, no one had either heard about it or wasn’t aware of such concept. A lot has changed over these few years and just when the paparazzi culture was fairly new for the celebrities themselves, their kids were introduced to the limelight with cameras following and capturing their every move. Some celebrities are okay with being clicked, some request the paparazzi for privacy. But more than celebrities, it is their little ones, who are exposed to this culture at such a young age that concerns every parent. Time and again, the celeb couples have expressed their concern over it and the line of privacy which was at times crossed by the paparazzi. (Also Read: Sushmita Sen's Daughter, Renee Sen Reveals Why She Chose Not To Know Who Her Biological Parents Are)
Parents of two most papped celeb kids of B-town, Kareena Kapoor Khan (Taimur Ali Khan) and Kunal Kemmu (Inaaya Naumi Kemmu) spoke about the paparazzi culture and spilt some beans on their family secrets. In one of the episodes of Kareena’s talk show, What Women Want, Kunal spoke about fatherhood, the moments when he felt he had achieved all as a dad, his relationship with wife, Soha Ali Khan and he also gave away some hypothetical awards in the Pataudi family. When Kareena asked him to name whom from the family would get an award to the made-up categories, Kunal gave the first one to his daughter, Inaaya, which was for being the biggest diva.
Addressing the elephant in the room, Kareena Kapoor Khan asked Kunal Kemmu to comment on the paparazzi culture and he recalled the most dangerous incident of their kids, Taimur Ali Khan and Inaaya Naumi Kemmu with the photographers. Beginning with how paparazzi is fairly a new phenomenon for them as well, Kunal said, “You know, there are times when I don’t think much about it but then, there are times when it bothers me. Honestly, that is the only answer I have for this kyunki humare liye bhi yeh paparazzi culture bahut naya hai. I think Taimur is the first baby who brought in this baby paparazzi culture kyunki usse ek saal pehle hum bhi used to ho rahe the ki pehli baar mujhe laga ki restaurant se bahar nikle aur photo kheench rahe the, maine kaha, ‘’Yeh kya hogaya?’ Toh woh itna naya tha aur jab shuru bhi hua toh mujhe aisa lagta hai ki even though humein yeh chiz samajh aati hai, unhe yeh pata nahi hai. And I think it’s slightly unfair to them.”
Recalling a dangerous incident when Taimur Ali Khan and Inaaya Naumi Kemmu were clicked by the paparazzi with the zoom lens, Kunal Kemmu continued, “But I also have to say ki to a certain extent abhi tak jo paparazzi culture hai, they have been pretty respectful of the time if you tell them ki, ‘Nahin’, then they say no. It got a bit dangerous, I remember jab Tim and Inaaya had gone to some swimming pool and durr se kisi ne zoom lens se liya tha. That I am completely against. That is not okay. A parent has to be aware ki aisa ho raha hai. It can’t be that khufiya thing happening somewhere.” (Also Read: Anushka Sharma And Virat Kohli's First Appearance As Parents, Take Their Newborn Baby Girl To Clinic)
When Kareena Kapoor Khan asked him, “Tell us about a time when you thought that you had achieved it all as a dad”, Kunal Kemmu retorted, “Mujhe nahi lagta ki ek aisa moment hota hai kyunki yeh moment aate rehte hain. Aaj, in fact, yeh hua, Soha ghar pe nahi thi aur main laptop pe kuch kaam kar raha tha aur vo khaana khaane apne kamre me jar ahi thi toh she came running to my room. And she said, “Papa I’m going to have lunch now. After that you’ll come and play with me?” I said, “Yeah of course, you just tell me whenever you want me to come.” She said, “Papa I love you.” I said, “I love you”. Then she said, “I love you to the moon and back.” Mujhe nahi pata yeh usne kab seekha hai. Maybe it was something Soha said. Mere liye pehli baar yeh hua and you know, that was the moment where I am like, beta sab le jaa. Bol kya chahiye tujhe. Toh I think these moments keep happening where you feel that I don’t know what more I can feel as a father.”
A few days ago, Soha Ali Khan had posted a super-adorable video of Kunal Kemmu and Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, and even after watching it so many times on loop, it can still melt our heart like the first time. Soha had captioned the video as "Daddy duty seems to be going well today! #yousaiduna @khemster2." In the video, as Kunal was braiding Inaaya’s doll’s hair, she wasn’t clearly impressed by his skills and not only did he mispronounce the unicorn’s name, but he had also taken a lot of time to make the hairstyle, which made Inni ‘tired’. This father-daughter conversation surely had us go aww! (Also Read: Kareena Kapoor Khan Wishes Her 'Beautiful' Sister-In-Law, Anissa Malhotra On Birthday And Sends Love)

Teen Advisory Board gives local teens a voice in their community
By Kenneth John Catimbang, Kristian Bekele and Micah Tam
Once a month, the Teen Advisory Board meets up at the Red Morton Community Center. Teenagers from all over the Redwood City area come together to talk about community problems and methods to help better the local area.
Students from various high schools throughout Redwood City are a part of this organization. In these meetings, a broad theme is applied, such as community service, which in the past has meant helping out at parades and other events happening around the city.
At the Nov. 1 meeting, the main focus was on the environment. The students brainstormed ideas ranging from neighborhood trash pickups to raising money to donate to a nonprofit charity that sends water to developing countries.
After sharing ideas, the board agreed on plans to help the local elementary and middle schools grow gardens on site. In executing this project, the local youth will be educated about healthy living and maintaining a home-grown diet.
The Teen Advisory Board was created with the purpose of building a bridge between Redwood City officials and local teenagers. According to Emma Hernandez, co-director of the board, “When you see teens … there’s a negative aspect to them. When you bridge that gap, it helps any city see that teens care. You guys are the voice of the city [and] make a very big impact.”
When asked about the main goal of the board Ms. Hernandez said, “[To] build the teens with the community. Hear the teens’ voices. Listening to the teens and what they want as opposed to just guessing.”
The Teen Advisory Board does just that. Teen participants have voiced that it builds their own character while giving them the opportunity to volunteer and voice their opinions.
President of the Teen Advisory Board and senior at Sequoia High School Sara Osorio described how being a part of TAB changed her when she said, “I’ve always been very shy. Because I’ve been president it’s given me the opportunity to branch out and be a leader. I want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable with sharing their ideas.”
Osorio went on to explain how TAB defines and actively participates in her community. “Being the voice for our community. Because I don’t think everyone is represented. What better people to ask but teens because we’re the future.”
Summit Prep senior and TAB participant Tyler Sheppy summarized his view on Teen Advisory Board by saying, “It really shows teenagers in our community because it shows we want to make the environment and community a better place.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been given the first toys for their unborn baby during the opening day of their tour in Australia.
Harry and Meghan were also introduced to their namesake koalas, were greeted by thousands of well-wishers outside the iconic Sydney Opera House and watched a dance performance on the first day of a 16-day tour.
The couple, who announced on Monday they are expecting their first baby next spring, will also take in New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga on their first official trip outside the UK and Ireland as a married couple.
Samantha Markle has said she hopes half-sister Meghan's baby announcement can help heal rifts within the troubled family, reports the Mirror.
Meghan has a troubled relationship with her family, and Samantha - who has the same dad as the Duchess - has previously accused her of "ghosting" her family.
But Samantha has now said she hopes wounds can heal with the new arrival.
She told The Sun : “It just makes everything that happened over the last year disappear."
And she continued: “A baby changes everything and softens everyone."
These hopes are shared by the pair's dad, Thomas.
A source close to Meghan's dad Thomas said: “Thomas sees this as a chance to fix the problems between him, Meghan and Harry."
Kensington Palace announced the news on the eve of the tour, and the parents-to-be received a soft kangaroo and joey from his Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove and his wife, Lady Cosgrove.
"Our first baby gift!" Meghan, who was wearing an ivory Karen Gee dress, said, while Harry was handed a pair of Ugg boots, which he described as "awesome".
The couple were greeted at Admiralty House by flag-bearing representatives from the 18 countries who will be competing at the Invictus Games in Sydney.
Several of them congratulated the couple on their baby news, with Meghan, who was wearing a bracelet and earrings which belonged to Diana, replying: "Thank you so much. We are very excited."
The dignitaries also presented Harry and Meghan with Akubras - traditional wide-brimmed Australian hats - which were gifted to them for their wedding in May.
At Taronga Zoo, the couple got the chance to meet Harry and Meghan, two joeys which were named after the couple to mark their nuptials earlier in the year.
Meghan said the koalas were "so, so sweet", while Harry reached to pet one of the animals and asked about their diet and sleeping habits.
The pair also encountered other wildlife at the zoo on the shores of Sydney Harbour, with staff showing off wallabies, quokkas and a short-legged echidna, who seemed very taken by the royal guests.
The duke seemed concerned about the animal's wellbeing in a room full of cameras, asking of its nose: "The snot, is that a good thing or stress?"
"It's OK, he's drooling out of excitement," the scientists told him. "And he's just been fed."
The duke opened the Taronga Institute of Science and Learning before the couple got the chance to take in the sights of the city on a boat ride across the harbour to the Opera House.
There, they spent more than the allotted 20 minutes greeting crowds in the sunshine, with Harry spotting one familiar face in the crowd.
After finding 98-year-old Daphne Dunne in the crowd of around 2,000 people, he said: "I was looking for you earlier and hoped you'd be here, it's so good to see you again."
Mrs Dunne, who saw Harry during his 2015 and 2017 visits to Australia, was able to congratulate both the duke and duchess on their baby news, with Meghan saying that next time the couple were in Australia they "might have our little one with us".
War widow Mrs Dunne's first husband, Lieutenant Albert Chowne, died aged 25 in 1945 during an attack on a Japanese machine gun post in Papua New Guinea.
He was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross which Mrs Dunne was wearing when she first met Harry.
Meghan said: "I'm so glad I got to meet you. Harry has told me all about you and your special bond, it's so lovely you came to see us, thank you."
Mrs Dunne said: "It was lovely to meet the duchess, Meghan. Harry is a wonderful man and I'm so happy he had found happiness, they both deserve the absolute world together."
On Wednesday Australia time, the couple will travel to Dubbo in New South Wales where they will celebrate 90 years of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. | <urn:uuid:56ac26f8-d732-447b-b805-753d34873954> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/uk-news/meghan-markles-sister-samantha-breaks-15285728 | 2021-12-04T08:55:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362952.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204063651-20211204093651-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.983891 | 1,007 | [

Manchester HD. So many workers walked by me and no one asked if I needed help. I went up and down the isles looking for what I needed based on the signs for about an hour. Absolutely no one asked if I needed help. It was not busy. I think I'll stick to Lowes. At least they greet me at the door.
The little guy in the paint dept was the most negative ever! He told customers that he was too busy! He complained constantly about everyone and everything. Not good!Then a young guy named Josh came along to save the day, with a good attitude, willing to help everybody. They should get rid of the other guy for sure!

A Warm Welcome Back

Visit Ashdown Park to play one of the most scenic, challenging and enjoyable 18 hole golf courses in East Sussex. The last 9 holes are particularly attractive as they meander and wind their way through undulating woodland, which also makes it a very enjoyable Sussex golf course to play.

On some holes the fairways rub up right next to the woodlands, so you may have to be prepared to lose a few more golf balls than you’re used to, but don’t worry, you can always replenish your supply at our shop. And if you need to warm up and get your eye in first, loosen up at our driving range and putting green. We can also help you sharpen your game by arranging a lesson or two for you with a golf coach.
Please call our Country Club reception on 01342 820254 to check availability to play, or book your round of golf.
During the winter months, our course may be restricted to nine holes or closed, please contact Country Club reception before visiting to avoid disappointment.

When an old protocol refuses to die, it can have a major impact on security — and cause an organization to fall out of regulatory compliance. Case in point: New research from Panorays shows more than half of organizations could be out of PCI compliance because they just can't let go of TLS 1.0.
Panorays' review of 1,150 organizations indicated that 52% use TLS 1.0 on all of their websites (a total of 29,000), while another 45% use TLS 1.0 on at least one site. PCI DSS requires organizations to replace TLS 1.0 with TLS 1.1 or 1.2. The older protocol has been shown to be more vulnerable to man-in-the-middle and other attacks than its replacements.
Among the reasons speculated for companies retaining TLS 1.0 on their websites are the need to take care of endpoint users with old browsers and applications that don't support newer versions of TLS, and a lack of awareness of the PCI DSS requirements.

It seems that only yesterday Bitcoin was inching towards $3000 and a new all time high was incoming. However, as the beginning of the week hit, Bitcoin’s price drastically crashed over $400 in a matter of hours, signifying a 15% drop in price setting back traders a few weeks.
While such a dramatic drop is never good, it is important to keep it in perspective. It was only two weeks ago that the price was at $2500, meaning recovery is not unlikely. Along with Bitcoin, Ethereum crashed as well after briefly touching $420 on many exchanges. Such a correction was imminent for both cryptocurrencies because their price has diverted too far from any technical analysis indicators.
It is speculated that Okcoin’s liquidation of long positions attributed to the negative market pressure. According to @WhaleCalls – a bot powered bitcoin market reporter – the exchange liquidated thousands of positions at the price of roughly $2500.
Okcoin $BTCUSD Quarterly futures has liquidated a long position of 2902 contract at 2,537.50 – 2017-06-13 01:34:38
— WhaleCalls (@whalecalls) June 12, 2017
This isn’t the first or the last time that Okcoin’s liquidation has caused massive movements in the market, that is an inherent problem with margin trading, as at some point the liquidations hit and create unsustainable pressure on the market, causing it to correct.
There have been no recent negative news which should be a cause for a panic sell, meaning that the current price action just seems like a product of traders’ speculation. China and Japan are still buying Bitcoin like crazy and we can see that because of the existing premium in coin prices.
Furthermore, according to reports on r/BitcoinMarkets, there have been massive sell walls at $3,000 signaling price suppression. For whatever reasonsr there are forces out there that don’t want Bitcoin’s price to rise even further, the reason for that is still unclear. Some may speculate that traders are suppressing Bitcoin’s price in order to fuel Ethereum’s rise even further. After all, as Ethereum inched towards $400, its market cap also inched towards that of Bitcoin. Rest assured if Ethereum surpasses Bitcoin is market cap, many traders will take altcoins much more seriously and the flippening may happen sooner than you think.

'TO wade the sea-mist, then to wade the sea
JL at dawn, let drift your garments one by one,
follow the clean stroke of a sea-gull's wing
breast-high against the sun;
follow a sail to sunward, slowly nearing
the lazy lobster boats at Stone Horse Shoals,
and pass them silent, on a strong ebb-tide
into an ocean empty to the poles.'
The tall man clenched his eyes against the world;
his face was gray and shook like a torn sail.
'I have lived,' he said, 'a life that moved in spirals
turned inward like the shell of a sea-snail.
I have been the shadow at the heart of shadows,
I have stared too many years at my own face;
on Stone Horse Shoals, among the lobster boats,
I will shed my carapace.
'Something will die there, something move and watch
its shadow fathoms downward on the sand,
summer and winter. In another season
another man comes wading to the land,
where other blossoms fade among the dunes
and other children. ... I am tired,' he said,
'But I can see a naked body climbing
a naked seacoast, naked of the dead,
'naked of language. There are signs inscribed
on stones and trees, familiar vocables;
I hope to rise out of the sea as white,
as empty and chalk-smooth as cockleshells.
And children digging naked in the sand
will find my shell and on it scratch new words
that soon will blossom out,' he said, 'and bear
new fruit, strange to the tongue of men and birds.'

On Saturday 19 March, Amaryllis specialist and flower bulb exporter Kébol in Rijsenhout will be opening the doors of its new building to interested business relations, colleagues in its field of operations and residents of the surrounding area. Visitors are invited to take a peek inside the 11,000 m2 building largely constructed by Thermoflor. The unique feature of this building is its sustainable properties.
Kébol has experienced an unprecedented growth in the past few years. The company’s former location in Noordwijkerhout was too small, which was restricting the further expansion of its activities. Kébol went in search of a suitable new location in collaboration with the Municipality of Haarlemmermeer and SGN (the Dutch Foundation for Greenhouse Horticulture). The company ultimately chose a plot of land that was part of the PrimA4a Project in Rijsenhout. Centrally located on the A4 motorway and near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, this project is being developed especially for greenhouse horticulture.
The first foundation pile was driven ceremoniously into the ground in February 2015. A huge team of specialists and construction companies have been working on the production hall for the past several months. Thanks to an ultra-strict planning strategy and the good cooperation between the various parties involved, Kébol was able to relocate all of its activities to the new building in December 2015. The building has been constructed with the most modern materials available, including sustainable roofing, an energy-efficient cooling system and solar panels.
Thermoflor is well-known for its garden centre construction projects, but also handles construction projects for the green industry. The company is specialised in multifunctional buildings and offers solutions promoting the flexible use of space and energy savings. Thermoflor’s vast experience in this field was a decisive element that prompted Kébol to engage this company for the construction of its new premises.
Visitors are welcome to have a look inside the new building from 10 am to 4 pm. Please send us a message via the Kébol website to let us know that you will be coming. The visiting address is Rijshornstraat 209, 1435 HH Rijsenhout. | <urn:uuid:e4b76fd7-8a0d-4c8a-ae11-c441de984efd> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.ingreenhouses.com/thermoflor-builds-sustainable-production-hall-for-kebol/ | 2021-12-01T05:59:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359093.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201052655-20211201082655-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.963866 | 470 | [

CLARK — A typical work day for a Belgian draft horse on an Amish farm is to plow the fields until lunchtime, eat a bucket of oats, then head back out to plow until dinner.
So when a draft horse named Ronnie started having trouble breathing three years ago, he couldn't finish all of his chores. Because Ronnie is an essential worker on the Petersheim farm in Clark, his owner became deeply concerned.
Enter Dr. Kevin Keegan, an equine veterinarian at MU who saw the horse last summer. Ronnie had a tracheostomy in 2018 to open his windpipe, but debris would clog the opening when he worked.
Keegan had to find a way to prevent the blockage while keeping the airway clear. He sat down one day to brainstorm a breathing device and drew a quick sketch. Then he took his idea to the 3D printing lab at MU and teamed up with two engineering students.
They used the 3D printer to bring the sketch to life, creating a first-of-its-kind windpipe device to restore the horse's ability to breathe.
The beleaguered horse
Ronnie is an 1,800-pound Belgian draft horse owned by Menno Petersheim, an Amish farmer who lives with his wife, Rachel, and his family on a 240-acre property. With the help of his 11 children, many now adults, Petersheim raises livestock and grows corn, oats and soybeans.
Draft horses play a major role in the daily operation of an Amish farm where horses are favored over tractors and combines to plant and plow the fields.
A good, hardworking horse that can be trained to work with a team can cost a farmer close to $6,000. Ronnie is Petersheim's lead plow horse, in charge of a seven-horse team pulling a two-bottom plow — four horses in the back and three in the front.
Ronnie is positioned smack-dab in the middle where it is critical that he be in top condition.
His breathing problems became noticeable when was around 4 years old. Equine veterinarians performed the tracheostomy, drilling a hole in Ronnie's windpipe to help bypass his obstructed airways and let him breathe more easily.
What they didn't realize was how hard the horse works. When Ronnie walked the fields after surgery, dirt and bugs would clog the hole in his windpipe, cutting off much of his oxygen supply. This caused Ronnie to tire quickly so he had to stop working.
At the MU Veterinary Health Center, Keegan realized that the horse needed a device to block debris from plugging the hole in his windpipe but still allow him to breathe normally.
After Keegan drew his sketch, he wasn't sure how turn his two-dimensional design into an actual device. So he made a phone call.
"I contacted the president of the 3D printing club here, and he set me up with two students," Keegan said. "And that's how it got started."
The breathing device
Keegan was introduced to Griffen Mustion and Holly Anderson, two engineering students and members of the 3D printing club. He showed them his design, and they made a trip to the Petersheim farm to take a look at Ronnie. They needed to see how big the device needed to be to fill the hole in his windpipe.
Making sure the device was going to fit was the most important and yet the most difficult part, Keegan said. It needed to be firm enough to stay in place but flexible enough to bend and expand while Ronnie worked.
Using 3D printing software, Mustion and Anderson tweaked the size, depth and height of the device until they found the perfect fit. Once finished, they sent it to the printer. The pair had to make 13 prototypes, each taking four hours to print, before the found one that would work.
The final device looks like a spool of yarn with a small screen that blocks extra skin, bugs and dirt from entering Ronnie's windpipe while he works. It's a kind of screen-door for the horse's windpipe, Keegan said.
Kara Stowers, a neighbor of the Petersheims, helped drive the horse to the veterinary clinic in Columbia when the family needed transportation.
"It's truly amazing that Ronnie can still do all the things he can do in the field with that thing in his neck," Stowers said. | <urn:uuid:872a148b-cd30-430d-86f6-ac5f6d45478f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/state_news/3d-printing-lets-amish-draft-horse-breathe-again/article_ad262b48-f55d-11eb-8e29-a30355884fa0.html?utm_source=SocialNewsDesk&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SND_scheduled_post&fbclid=IwAR1m01AnjvORJvJK4v3jN4LbEBgRz3-jsyyEMcsgbA3oIzIPt8lk2OhkxPc | 2021-12-06T02:50:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363229.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206012231-20211206042231-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.976529 | 921 | [

Christian means a person who follows Jesus Christ. Jesus is considered God’s son and the savior of the world as described in the Bible. He was such an important person that all of human time and our date and calendar system is centered around his birth. This is why we have BC (before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini meaning “In the year of Our Lord”).
Why do we need Jesus?
First, it would seem reasonable to understand the need for God and the nature of God. Then we can understand the Son of God. We discuss the existence of God and the nature of God on other pages.
Assuming we believe in God and understand his supernatural, infinite qualities, then we can understand the following. God created supernatural beings, such as Satan and other angels. They were made a little higher than humans and are able to exist beyond our physical experience or, in terms of science, beyond the realm of Quantum Mechanics. They have the ability to make choices. Satan was prideful and decided to rebel against God. Because of Satan’s rebellion, God put him on the earth along with mankind. Man was also given the ability to make decisions for themselves and were put in charge of taking dominion over the entire earth. God made a law, telling Adam that they should not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan then deceived Eve, and Adam followed her to disobey and sin against God by eating the forbidden fruit. Since Adam sinned, Adam lost his place of dominion. Adam allowed Satan to take his dominion and so Satan ruled over mankind and the rest of the earth.
God is perfect and therefore could not look upon or communicate with mankind now that they had sinned. God’s perfect nature of Justice required that there be a payment for mankind’s sins. Jesus, God’s perfect and only son, was sent to earth to pay the price for our sins by dying on a cross and redeeming us from God’s punishment by resurrecting from the dead. His death and resurrection also bought back mankind’s dominion over the earth. Now, Satan must obey us as long as we are followers of Jesus Christ and operating according to God’s will. Under Christ, God has given us the keys to his kingdom! But, Satan still has the ability to tempt us and cause a lot of trouble on the earth if we are not vigilant in our faith.
Therefore there are two supernatural sphere’s of influence or kingdoms on earth: God’s kingdom of love and grace (i.e. supernatural favor and power) and Satan’s kingdom of fear and inferiority. If we are followers of Jesus, we can choose at any moment which kingdom we will follow. Those who do not follow Jesus automatically default to exist under Satan’s kingdom of inferiority and fear.
Which kingdom do you want to live in?
You can call out to Jesus right now and determine to turn from your wrongdoing and start to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord of your life. Now you will have the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit within you to tread on the devil and overcome fear, intimidation, worry, anxiety, discouragement, and all sins or evil that try to pull you in and entangle you. | <urn:uuid:77aabb03-8650-4484-b82e-6d027118f6f5> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://worldrevival.com/what-is-a-christian/ | 2021-11-28T08:25:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358480.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128073830-20211128103830-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.965593 | 678 | [

Egypt s FM Sameh Shoukry participating in the International Ministerial conference on UNRWA earlier Tuesday via video conference (Photo : Egyptian Foreign Ministry)
Shoukry made his call in a video conference meeting of The International Ministerial Conference on UNRWA that was held in Brussels at the request Jordan and Sweden.
Shoukry called on the international community and the major donors to continue their contribution to the organization, asserting Egypt's full support to UNRWA.
UNRWA was founded in 1949 by the United Nations to help and provide services to Palestinian refugees, including education and healthcare, following the 1948 Nakba.
The agency provides social and economic relief to 5.7 million Palestinian refugees worldwide.
UNRWA faced a financial crisis when former US president Donald Trump blocked almost all aid to Palestinians, including through the UNRWA, in 2018.
In April, the Biden administration issued a decision to reverse Trump's decision to restore economic, developmental, and humanitarian assistance for Palestinians, including funding for UNRWA.
The top Egyptian diplomat also stressed the importance of reviving the peace process between the Palestinians and Israelis in order to achieve the Palestinians' aspirations for an independent state.
Shoukry expressed his appreciation of Jordan and Sweden for calling and co-chairing the conference; to Belgium for hosting the meeting; and to the UNRWA for its continued effort to support the Palestinian refugees. | <urn:uuid:bc78415e-bc73-4b11-8519-df1ba33a9d9e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://english.ahram.org.eg/News/440759.aspx | 2021-12-01T11:49:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360803.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201113241-20211201143241-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.944357 | 291 | [

We will first begin with a cartoon from one of my favorite webpages:
And it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without:
r = a(1 – cos(theta))
Plot that on your TI-89.
First off, yes, I am a blogging delinquent. Ben Jones, I should be arrested. But in my defense, I have had a viral infection rendering my voiceless and without a desire to eat.
So I think my Valentine’s Day saga should really begin on Sunday.
My Roommate: What is that noise?
Me: That’s my throat clearing voice.
My Roommate: That’s not sexy.
Me: Yes, yes I know.
My Roommate: We need a Medlink.
Enter Medlink, Mike.
Medlink Mike: What seems to be the problem?
Medlink Mike: That sounds like you have a throat problem.
Medlink Mike gives Bryan medicine.
Bryan goes to MIT Medical.
Me: I’d like to see my doctor.
Receptionist: What’s the problem.
Receptionist: Oh. There have been a number of you like this recently.
Receptionist: He’ll see you at 11:40 am.
Doctor: It seems like you have a viral infection. You should take some Robitussin CF and oh yes, “no kissing.”
Bryan walks to La Verde’s in the Student Center to purchase Robitussin CF but they only have the Children’s version, so Bryan opts for Robitussin’s long-lost cousin, Tussin CF.
Fast forward to Wednesday at MIT…
The scene is set. Bryan walks into the Student Center wearing gray and black. Everyone around him is dressed in red or similar shades.
Bryan walks to 2.008: Design and Manufacturing II with best friend, Rob. Outside of lecture stand the MIT Muses who have been serenading unsuspecting individuals all day.
Muse 1: Hi Rob.
Muse 2: We’re here to sing to you.
Rob: Oh okay.
The Muses sing to Rob. Bryan and Rob enter lecture to learn about injection molding.
Classes end and Bryan trudges through the snow and puddles to the Student Center. His voice recovered but still a little under the weather.
This film goes out to my Valentine who will get her Valentine’s day kiss when I’m no longer sick. :^)
And to all of you, Happy Valentine’s Day!!! | <urn:uuid:bfe441bb-f2fc-4dd3-a7d7-444d0cdefe2e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/my_funny_valentine/ | 2021-12-01T11:47:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360803.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201113241-20211201143241-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.837705 | 662 | [

FGS Mölders - (D-186)
The Type 103 Lütjens class was the last class of destroyers in service with the German Navy. The ships were US Charles F. Adams-class guided missile destroyers but with some modifications to meet German requirements.
They were replaced by the new Sachsen-class frigates, designated frigate even though they are much larger and more capable in all aspects than the Lütjens-class destroyers.
The three Lütjens destroyers were purchased from the US to provide air defence.
For German use, they received the following modifications:
Communication systems according to German standards. The Lütjens class had more aerials and a second mast mounted on the aft funnel. The large air surveillance radar was positioned further aft (above the funnel).
In turn, the new antennas and radar location meant that the funnels had to be modified. On the Lütjens the exhaust gases were emitted sideways with two pipes on the port and starboard side of each funnel.
New location of the sonar array. The Lütjens had their sonar dome located in a bulge directed forward in the bow and not under the bow to reduce the ship's draft.
Better crew accommodation.
The three ships in the class were commissioned in 1969 and 1970. In service, they formed the 1. Zerstörergeschwader ("first destroyer squadron") based in Kiel.
The Lütjens class was upgraded to Type 103A in the 1970s with new digital fire-control computers and better missiles for the old Tartar SM1 missile system. The boilers were also converted to burn lighter oil for logistical reasons instead of the heavy fuel oil that needs to be preheated.
A second major refit was undertaken in the 1980s when the ships were upgraded to Type 103B. Missiles were upgraded with a single Modified Mark 13 missile launcher fitted able to fire the SM-1MR surface-to-air missile and Harpoon anti-ship missile. A typical balance was 32 of the former and 8 of the latter. Fire control was improved with upgraded computers and a new AN/SPG-60 radar which also provided illumination for the missiles.
In the 1990s, the ships in the class each received two RIM-116 RAM launchers and Chaff launchers.
With the decommissioning of Lütjens (D185) on December 18, 2003 the age of steam ended for the German Navy. Mölders (D186) became a museum ship at the German Navy Museum in Wilhelmshaven.
Speeds over 30 knots (56 km/h) could only sustained for a limited time due to the enormous fuel consumption. With two active boilers the ship could achieve speeds up to 27 knots (50 km/h). Three boilers made 30 knots (56 km/h) achievable. For any speed beyond 30 knots (56 km/h) all four boilers were needed.
On 3 March 1965 Bath Iron Works got the order to build Mölders and her keel was laid down on 12 April 1966 with the hull number DDG-29. On 13 April 1967 Mölders was launched and christened for Luftwaffe Oberst (Colonel) Werner Mölders by his mother Anne-Marie Mölders. Mölders was commissioned on 23 February 1969 into the 1. Zerstörergeschwader (first destroyer squadron) based in Kiel.
During her 33 years in commission 14,000 sailors served on her under 16 commanders, and she traveled 675,054.6 nautical miles (1,250,201.1 km; 776,839.0 mi). Mölders was decommissioned 28 May 2003 in Wilhelmshaven.
Unlike her sisters Lütjens and Rommel, Mölders was preserved and is now on display as museum ship at the Deutsches Marinemuseum at Wilhelmshaven, although she was never stationed in Wilhelmshaven during her active career. | <urn:uuid:51f0298c-2e5d-4c04-9701-22e9a12235e3> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://museumships.us/germany/moelders | 2021-12-03T04:40:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362589.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203030522-20211203060522-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.974598 | 860 | [

Warrior Fork Extensions
The Warrior range of forklift attachments are a simple but effective way of lengthening your forks to handle longer loads safely without damaging the load. Manufactured from heavy duty steel channel they will fit on to forks up to 50mm thick. Steel retainers prevent the forks from sliding off. We recommend that you check with the manufacturer of your lift truck its capabilities when lifting at a greater load centre. Fork extensions should not exceed the length of fork to which they are fitted by more than 4%.

Mountz Inc. (www.mountztorque.com) announced the release of the second generation of Scout Screw Counter. This new Scout screw counter helps users eliminate and detect costly screw-fastening errors in the assembly process. Using it is like putting the quality control manager’s ears and eyes where they are most needed, right on the assembly area. It verifies all fasteners, which have been seated and installed properly. This screw counter controls the assembly process out of the user’s hands.
Designed to detect cycle completes, unfinished rundowns and cross-threading, this new scout ensures users that the cross-threading is done properly and correctly for the first time. It operates jointly with STC40 or STC30 power supply and electric screwdrivers from Mountz. With four additional ports on the Scout’s side, a total of four screwdrivers can share one program with the unit. It has the ability to learn the characteristics of the power tool and the application that is being used. This permits the Scout to distinguish between a fastener that was either cross-threaded or stripped and one that was properly seated.
The screw counting process’ intent is to ensure all fasteners are accounted for in the assembly process. The later an error is found on the assembly process, the more it costs in expenses and rework time. If a fastening error is detected and committed in the assembly process, the user can fix it by completing the process properly or prevent the faulty product being moved down the line.
The Scout can be programmed either manually through the keypad or by the PC software. The unit gives the user visual and audible indications, which the assembly has been rejected or it has been rejected. The Scout alerts the user with a buzzer sound if fastening error is found and it immediately displays a red light to show a screw fastening error.
The Scout has the ability to save multiple fastener settings for applications, which utilize various fasteners. With a programmable logic controller (“PLC”) system, the screw counter can be easily integrated to activate other functions for line control. The scout features a password protection to avoid operator tampering of settings and prevent incidental. | <urn:uuid:ffee0907-1998-4dc9-8f02-bdf66e7468e2> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.motioncontroltips.com/mountz-unveils-the-next-generation-scout-screw-counter/ | 2021-12-04T17:43:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362999.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204154554-20211204184554-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.935767 | 454 | [

...In the early seventies, Ed Whitchurch ran "his game", and one of the
participants was Eric Sorenson. Eric plays something like a computer.
When he games he methodically considers each possibility before
choosing his preferred option. If given time, he will invariably pick
the optimal solution. It has been known to take weeks. He is
otherwise, in all respects, a superior gamer.
Eric was playing a Neutral Paladin in Ed's game. He was on some lord's
lands when the following exchange occurred:
ED: You see a well groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo.
ERIC: A gazebo? What color is it?
ED: (Pause) It's white, Eric.
ERIC: How far away is it?
ED: About 50 yards.
ERIC: How big is it?
ED: (Pause) It's about 30 ft across, 15 ft high, with a pointed top.
ERIC: I use my sword to detect good on it.
ED: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo.
ERIC: (Pause) I call out to it.
ED: It won't answer. It's a gazebo.
ERIC: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it respond in any way?
ED: No, Eric, it's a gazebo!
ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (roll to hit). What happened?
ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.
ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?
ED: OF COURSE NOT, ERIC! IT'S A GAZEBO!
ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a +3 arrow!
ED: It's a gazebo, Eric, a GAZEBO! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a @#$%!! gazebo!
ERIC: (Long pause. He has no axe or fire spells.) I run away.
ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo. It catches you and eats you.
ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so I can avenge my Paladin.
At this point, the increasingly amused fellow party members restored a modicum of order by explaining to Eric what a gazebo is. Thus ends the tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo. It could have been worse; at least the gazebo wasn't on a grassy gnoll.

Biden gives assurances on debt
Updated: 2011-08-22 11:26
By Qin Jize and Qin Zhongwei (China Daily)

'Not to worry' US vice-president says as he urges China to buy more
CHENGDU - US Vice-President Joe Biden reassured China on Sunday that the United States would never default on its debt, and urged the world's second-largest economy to continue to invest in US Treasury bonds.
In his only major address during a six-day tour of China - followed on Monday by visits to Mongolia and Japan, Biden pointed out that US citizens still hold the vast majority of the US debt.
"So our interest is not just to protect Chinese investment. We have an overarching interest in protecting the investment, while the US has never defaulted and never will default," he told an audience of about 400 students that included dozens of Peace Corps Volunteers at Sichuan University.
He promised that the US was taking steps to cut budget deficits and must control the growth of entitlements, such as medical care, while expressing great confidence in the strength of the US economy.
"Not to worry," the US vice-president said. "We are still the single best bet in the world in terms of where to invest.
"You're safe," he said.
For nearly an hour, Biden spoke highly of China's economic and social progress, stressing that a rising China is a positive development, not only for the Chinese people but for both the US and the world.
"A more prosperous China will mean more demand for American-made goods and services," Biden said. "We have a stake in one another's success.
"The more we can work together, the more our people will benefit ... the more the world will benefit as the consequence of our cooperation," he said.
He added that China's rising will bring the US a new partner with whom they can deal with the same global threats together and share many of the same strategic objectives and responsibilities.
He noted that Chinese and US prosperity is key to reviving the global economy and no serious problems can be resolved without Beijing and Washington at the table.
Though Biden has worked very hard to convey a message of confidence and willingness to fight against the debt crisis to both the Chinese leadership and the general public, analysts noted that confidence cannot be built just on lip service and substantive measures are required.
Wang Rongjun, an expert on American studies with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Biden's promises on their own could not eliminate the worries of the Chinese people.
"We need to see the US take tangible and long-term measures," he said.
Biden spent the rest of Sunday with his counterpart Xi Jinping.
The two leaders visited a high school in Dujiangyan, a small city close to Sichuan's capital Chengdu that was badly damaged in a devastating earthquake three years ago.
Biden and Xi watched as students underwent basketball training. The NBA has donated four outdoor basketball courts and one indoor.
After watching the basketball they went to an English class for senior students.
Both men took questions from a group of about 30 students.
"We have no reason to fear one another," Biden said. He apologized for not being able to speak Chinese but the students told him that there was no need to apologize.
Biden's visit to Sichuan province and his interaction with students showed that the US has attached greater strategic importance to the vast western region, said Yuan Peng, a senior researcher with the China Institute for Contemporary International Relations.
He said that he believed Biden's visit has achieved its original goal, part of which is to build good personal relations with his Chinese counterpart.
"They have been very close and had frequent contact," Yuan said.
He said sustaining regular and high-level contact between the two countries will be beneficial to building up Sino-US mutual strategic trust. | <urn:uuid:0ad2c086-266e-4584-9649-50e5ff0e3198> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2011-08/22/content_13163531.htm | 2021-12-09T13:21:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964364169.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20211209122503-20211209152503-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.973586 | 873 | [

Nary a Borgward nor Bimmer nor, most importantly, anyone from the legal department of a certain Stuttgart-based sports car company was present at the German AutoFest held Sept. 14 and 15 in Ventura, California. There were, however, about 600 Porsches and thousands of Porsche enthusiasts in attendance according to event organizer Bob Campbell.
Although it could not be advertised as such, the German AutoFest was for all practical purposes a Porsche industry show (think a mini SEMA for Porsches) with 100 display booths spread between two exhibit halls at the beach-side fairgrounds. Ancillary activities included technical seminars, car shows, a swap meet, a used car corral and a literature/ model car expo that lent the event the aura of a six-ring Porsche circus; or maybe Disneyland, as the 67 cars participating in the Speedster Fest were lined up à la Le Mans start-style, on a palm tree-lined Main Street between the exhibition halls.
But to get to the Speedsters, mostly 356s with a jellybean-colored array of 911 variants mixed in, one had to traverse a parking lot full of swap meet vendors hawking steering wheels, seats, alloy wheels and numerous other Porsche parts, some still attached to donor 911s, 914s and 356s in various states of decay.
Those seeking an entire car might also be pulled off course to answer the siren’s song of cars for sale in the shadowy confines of the exhibit hall that served as the used car corral. Inside could be found an unfinished Beck Spyder kit, a 911 racer claimed to be legal for any series short of NASCAR, a “virtually rust-free” primer-spattered 1965 911 and a Chevy V8-powered 944. There were a few gems to be had, but for the most part the vehicle prices and descriptions listed by the sellers were a bit on the optimistic side.
Main Street was a much happier place. Strolling through the lovingly and immaculately prepared cars were people like photographer Jesse Alexander and ex-Vasek Polak race team manager-turn- ed-race car restorer Carl Thompson. With his vintage Rolleiflex, Alexander captured the lines of the Carrera-bodied 1956 Speedster of automotive designer Freeman Thomas.
“The Speedster’s allure is that it does everything better with less,” said the man who penned the Audi TT. “There’s a Zen quality to the car. It becomes part of you.”The religious theme of driving a Speedster was also expressed by Robert Moore, who bought his white 1957 model in 1970 for $1,900.
“With the top down and no side windows, you can look all the way to heaven,” Moore said with a beatific grin. Gary Emory has more of a “go to hell” attitude about old Porsches. Emory is responsible for inventing the “outlaw” or hot rod-style 356 with bodywork and performance mods that look cool to everyone but the most anal-retentive of concours types. Emory’s midnight-blue rendition of a 1957 Speedster featured a 550 Spyder headrest, RSK brakes, “stinger” exhaust pipe and a removable windshield.
Emory’s early 911 outlaw counterparts, the R Gruppe, were also on hand, as were contingents of 912 and Boxster owners.
Speaking of Boxster, it will be the featured model for the 2003 German AutoFest, Sept. 13 and 14, along with Porsche off-road vehicles—tractors that is, not the new Cayenne. | <urn:uuid:e985db92-059d-41e0-96e5-64ec2a516a9e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2114391/german-autofest-really-porsche-circus/ | 2021-12-09T13:12:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964364169.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20211209122503-20211209152503-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.956528 | 771 | [

The Los Angeles Lakers’ Ƅack-to-Ƅack to Ƅegin the week went aƄout as poorly as it could haʋe. Two 16-point losses at the hands of the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks — the second gaмe without Anthony Daʋis due to a groin injury — dropped LeBron Jaмes and the Lakers to 24-25, certainly far froм the place they thought they would Ƅe oʋer halfway through the season.
They haʋe had injuries, inconsistent rotations and other excuses to fall Ƅack on throughout the season. But at a certain point, a teaм is siмply who they are. And Jaмes, who had Ƅeen aмong the loudest in saying that the teaм couldn’t Ƅe judged earlier in the season, мay Ƅe coмing around to that reality.
Jaмes took to X to post a classic cryptic NBA player tweet soмetiмe around the trade deadline, leaʋing people to speculate on its possiƄle мeaning:
&мdash; LeBron Jaмes (@KingJaмes) January 31, 2024
Luckily, Jaмes gaʋe soмe мuch needed context aƄout what he мight мean Ƅefore he eʋen put the hourglass on X. He spoke after the Lakers loss aƄout their energy leʋel and if it was enough to Ƅeat the Hawks, ʋia Spectruм SportsNet:
“At tiмes. At tiмes it wasn’t. But that’s our record. It is what it is.”
Jaмes then went on to speak aƄout the teaм’s 24-25 record and if it represents who they are:
“We could, on any giʋen night, Ƅeat any teaм in the NBA. And then on any giʋen night, we can get our ass kicked Ƅy any teaм in the NBA. What’s our record? Under .500 at 24-25. That’s what we are.”
This is the first tiмe that Jaмes adмitted the Lakers мay siмply not Ƅe ʋery good. Injuries were an issue for a long tiмe, Ƅut they haʋen’t really plagued the teaм as of late. And while inconsistent rotations were a proƄleм, they’ʋe Ƅecoмe мore consistent recently with losses still piling up.
With two tough road gaмes coмing up against the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, Jaмes had an interesting answer when he was asked if he has a мessage for his teaммates:
“I don’t haʋe any мessage for мy teaммates. Just go out and do your joƄ. I мean …(chuckles to hiмself and then teaм staffer ends the interʋiew)… Way to cut мe off,” Jaмes said as he turned away froм reporters. “Because I was aƄout to go in.”
A Lakers teaм staffer мay haʋe saʋed an explosiʋe quote froм coмing out, Ƅut Jaмes’ frustration is palpaƄle. Perhaps the hourglass is a signal that the Lakers are running out of tiмe to iмproʋe and therefore need to мake a trade. Or Jaмes is saying his tiмe with the Lakers is running out, as he is a free agent at the end of this season.
Either way, all is not well in Los Angeles, and tiмe is going to Ƅe a factor regardless of how L.A. chooses to address these issues.
Lakers’ Christian Wood addresses tweet
Jaмes is not the first Lakers player to post soмething cryptic on social мedia this trade deadline season, as Christian Wood tweeted “Lol” just 20 мinutes Ƅefore tipoff when it was announced that Jaxson Hayes would Ƅe starting in Daʋis’ place instead of hiм.
Wood was asked aƄout it after the gaмe and clarified that the tweet was not ƄasketƄall related, although giʋen the tiмing, that is hard to Ƅelieʋe. | <urn:uuid:8d68ece6-1616-4f25-96a5-bcf98cd6f73f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://load90.com/14214 | 2024-02-22T08:44:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.938821 | 1,035 | [

Sell Your House The Easy Way
My name is Amy Rende and I’m the founder of Amy Buys Houses Michigan. We do our best to make the process as stress-free as possible. Simply fill out the form and I’ll contact you to discuss how we can help!
How Do We Calculate Our Offers?
After Repair Value (ARV): The After Repair Value (ARV) is what your house will be worth AFTER we have made the repairs and renovations. How do we determine this number? We find homes nearby that are similar in size and layout to yours, that have been updated and sold within the last several months.
What does this mean? Let’s say a house down the street that is similar in size and layout as yours, sold last month. This house had a new roof, new kitchen with granite counters, a renovated bathroom and nice flooring. The sales price of this house would be a good indicator of the After Repair Value of your house.
Cost of Repairs: The total cost it would take to repair and upgrade your house. (For example, to a similar level to the house that recently sold down the street.)
Selling Costs: These are costs we incur when we sell your house after the renovation. We pay for utilities and insurance while we are renovating and commission and closing costs when we sell your home. These are costs that you will not have when you sell your house to us!
Profit: Yes, we need to make a profit so we can stay in business and pay our employees and contractors! We do our best to keep the profit to a minimum so we can provide you with the best offer possible.
Your Offer: 100% FREE and NO obligation
After Repair Value (ARV)
Let’s say you are looking to sell a 1200 square feet, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom ranch-style house. A ranch-style house down the street sold last month for $250,000. That house is 1225 square feet and also has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The house down the street has an updated kitchen, updated bathroom, new flooring and has been freshly painted. The $225,000 sales price would be a good estimate of ARV of your house if we make similar updates (updated kitchen, updated bathroom, new flooring and fresh paint) to your house.
Cost of Repairs
We determine that it would take $40,000 in order to get your house to the same upgraded level of the house that recently sold down the street. $40,000 would be the Cost of Repairs.
If we sell your newly-renovated house for $225,000, we will pay approximately 10% in Selling Costs (6% commission, plus closing costs and holding costs). Therefore, in this example our selling costs would be $22,500.
Our target profit in this example would be $20,000.
Based on these numbers, this is how we would calculate your offer:
$225,000 (ARV) – $40,000 (Cost of Repairs) – $22,500 (Selling Costs) – $20,000 (Profit) = $142,500 (Your Offer)
Have Questions About Our Process? We’ve Got The Answers!
Do you only buy ugly houses?
No! We buy houses in ANY condition. We love the challenge of extensive rehabs but we also buy houses that are in HGTV-perfect condition as well.
Am I locked into using your services when I submit your form?
No! There are no obligations to work with us or accept our cash offer. When you submit the form, we simply assess your property and put together an offer for your home. It’s then up to you to decide whether you want to work with us!
What fees do you charge?
We charge no fees or commissions at all. In fact, we also pay for your closing costs!
What information do you need to give me an offer?
At first, we just need the property address and a phone number to get in touch with you. When we speak with you, we’ll be asking questions about the condition of property, your reason for selling and timeline.
Is it best to contact you by phone, text or fill out the form?
We prefer that sellers fill out our form because this lets us take a quick look at your property and come better prepared to our initial phone call. However, if you prefer to call or text us, by all means! We have some sellers who prefer the phone only and others who prefer not to fill out their info online. We’re happy to accommodate your preferences.
Do you really buy houses in any condition?
Yes. We buy houses AS-IS. This means anything from cosmetic repairs to full guts, we will buy in its current condition. You don’t need to make any repairs or do any cleaning. Even if your home needs extensive repairs due to fire damage, water damage, or structural issues, we will buy it as-is!

I was in a weird place with superhero comics. After about 10 years of reading them I found myself more frequently going through dry spells. Before I was a Wednesday Warrior, reading comics as soon as they came out each week, but now I would go months without picking one up. I’d still read through 100s of issues a year between these dry spells but I was just consuming the stories, not really connecting with them. The funny part is that I didn’t even realize this until a recent Sunday morning.
The day before, my wife and I had stopped by the local Half Price Books, which definitely has more than just books based on my wife’s haul of $1 vinyls. We were very happy with the Barry Manilow Greatest Hits find. I personally had found my way to the comics section and found copies of the first volumes of Radiant Black and Radiant Red. I had heard of Radiant Black; if you’re reading this there’s no doubt that you’ve seen the hype surrounding the book. I feel like I heard “Invincible meets Power Rangers!” more times than I can count. Plus a good friend, hey Denham, had spoken highly of it.
Power Rangers is something I am supposed to love. I’m the perfect age for it to have been a hit for me as a kid but for whatever reason it completely missed me. Let’s just say I have more of a fondness for Toei Spider-Man than any of his Tokusatsu counterparts. Despite that I picked up Radiant Black and Radiant Red. The next morning I was so glad I did.
The thing I love about the Massive-Verse aren’t just the neon colored costumes that are dripping with coolness, even though that helps: it’s the characters. Behind each mask, each catchphrase, and each energy blast there’s a person. The people that make up the Massive-Verse feel like real people with complete lives before any powers get involved. They feel like me and the people I love. The blend of grounded human stories with larger than life sci-fi fantasy finds a balance that is just sublime. Radiant Red in particular is where I rediscovered that spark that made me fall in love with comics all those years ago. I hope you find that spark when you read them too.
*Note that the Supermassive crossover issues have yet to be collected in trade. I will note where they can be read. Worth hunting down!*
Collects: Radiant Black #1-6 (Note that the trade collections do not include back up stories)
Kyle Higgins and Marcelo Costa kicked things off with Radiant Black in 2021.
Collects: Radiant Black #7-12
Collects: Radiant Black #6, Radiant Red #1-5
Collects: Inferno Girl Red #1-3
Collects: Rogue Sun #1-6
Collects: Radiant Black #13-18

Collects: Radiant Pink #1-5 (oddly does not include Radiant Black #12 but as long as you read Radiant Black Volume 2 before this you’ll be good!)
Collects: Radiant Black #19-24
Radiant Black #1-9
See the start of Radiant Black’s story, the introductions to the other Radiants, and a sneak peek at the universe at large.
Image! #1-4 – Shift
A collection of short stories where we learn the origins of Shift and his criminal empire. Shift plays a big factor in getting the tech villains of this universe set up with their gear. Has big payoffs in Radiant Black’s third arc.
Radiant Red #1-5
This spins directly out of Radiant Black #6 (even has the same great art by David LaFuente!) A great story that sees Radiant Red have to deal with the fallout of the events of the first Radiant Black arc.
Radiant Black #10-12
Girl Inferno Red #1-3
While this didn’t come out until 2023, I think having more context for Inferno Girl Red makes for a better reading experience for Supermassive and the things it teases.
The Massive-Verse’s first crossover that sees Inferno Girl Red, Rogue Sun, and Radiant Black team up. Fun team up story with some great teases about the future.
Rogue Sun #1-6
The second Massive-Verse ongoing that takes a look at the mystical side of the universe.
Radiant Black #13-18
Issue #18 is a particular favorite of mine that takes a look at Radiant Yellow’s past, present, and future all at the same time!
The Dead Lucky #1-6
The third Massive-Verse ongoing. It sets up the status quo for The Dead Lucky in Supermassive 2023.
Rogue Sun #7-12
Issue #7 is a fun choose your own adventure issue. It is a little difficult to navigate in digital so definitely worth hunting down the floppy.
Radiant Pink #1-5
Radiant Black #19-24
In classic comics style #24 has a QR code for a fan vote. The voting period has ended and we are now waiting to see the results!
At the time of writing this has not come out yet but be sure to check back for more updates. In the meantime, keep an eye out for the current on-goings; Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, and The Dead Lucky. There’s also a 10 issue mini series coming out called No/One. Once that is fully released I’ll come back to mark its spot here!
If you are still wanting some more Massive-Verse action you can check C.O.W.L.. When it was being released C.O.W.L. was its own thing but has since been retroactively added to the universe. Focusing on a Chicago superhero team in the 60’s it has a very different tone from the rest of the books. Mostly referenced via the in universe movie about the team. Rod Reis’ art is hard to turn down!

All this can be done for the one annual fee.
At CPK Web Services we’ve been designing developing and hosting websites since 2009 so understand both the commercial side of running a business but we also understand that budgets can be tight Chad Kelly our Managing Director and founder has spent a number of years in the non profit sector otherwise known as the third sector so understands how to work with limited budgets.
One of Chad’s first consulting tasks was for Deakin University when he was still a student, Chad advised the university on how they could make an online language learning tool more accessible for students with a disability, attempting to use the software with screen reading
(text to speech) software. It was discovered that some parts of the software such as quizzes didn’t allow screen reading and or text to speech software to work correctly as the Online Tool developed by the university wasn’t WCAG, Web Content Accessibility guidelines 2.0 compliant. This meant that the web based tool wasn’t completely accessible to all students. At CPK Web Services we ensure all our websites and web based tools are WCAG compliant and work for the largest amount of people possible.
So what about Education ?
We bring all this wealth of experience to the Education sector. We can offer your place of Education website design and development at a competitive price that is WCAG compliant along with managed website hosting housed within the Microsoft Azure Cloud hosted in Australia.

MìLà tasked GenovaWebArt to integrate a subscription model, create a Subscription page, and adjust products/collection pages accordingly. We also had to handle website rebranding, moving from TheXCJ to the new MìLà domain and completely replacing branding elements following the provided color scheme and fonts. Ultimately, the client demanded our ongoing support services, which we’ve been delivering consistently.
Solving the challenges, we quickly and efficiently set up the Shopify theme and took control of its code quality. During the website rebranding process, GenovaWebArt implemented new styles, developed various landing pages, and collaborated with SEO optimization and marketing teams.
In the ongoing support process, we constantly expand the existing functionality of MìLà’s website. Leveraging JSON templates, we employ only the most relevant approaches and best practices in custom development. Notably, we updated the product page by introducing dynamic customization options that enable real-time changes to colors, icons, text, videos, and other elements based on the selected product variant. | <urn:uuid:3737ab29-85a3-42b5-91cf-c1c55cd72b78> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://genovawebart.com/case-studies/mila | 2024-02-23T18:03:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.894977 | 221 | [

It’s A Double Academic Celebration for Helen Paul & Her Hubby Femi Bamisile
Written by maxfmeditor2 on May 30, 2022
Helen Paul and her husband, Femi Bamisile, are celebrating two academic victories.
Helen Paul is now a professor and the HOD of the Arts, Music, and Entertainment department at Heart International University in the United States, while her husband holds a Doctor of Law degree.
On Monday, May 30, the actress and comedian took to Instagram to share photos and videos from her induction. “Congratulations to us my love. Such a great honor for both of us. You graduated as a Doctor of law and I was promoted too. Professor Helen Paul, now the new H.O.D Department of Arts, Music and Entertainment. Heart International University USA. Thank you for all the sleepless nights. Thank you for sacrificing for us,” she captioned one of her posts.
She got her PhD in Theatre Arts from the University of Lagos in 2019, and she has been doing postdoctoral study in the US since 2020 | <urn:uuid:f7d116a6-90c9-498e-bec0-3b932285f601> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.max1023.fm/its-a-double-academic-celebration-for-helen-paul-her-hubby-femi-bamisile/ | 2024-02-26T12:07:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474659.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226094435-20240226124435-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.961989 | 227 | [

Interior designers report that the latest style trend for home décor is a “nod” to vintage and retro furnishings — styles reminiscent of the 1800s and early 1900s. Think spooled legs, spindles and retro wallpaper.
The retro and vintage trend also applies to styles from nearly every decade up to the 1970s and 80s.
However, designers are using retro and vintage as “statement” pieces and accents, not as “whole-room” installations.
If you want to join the trend of using retro and vintage furniture and other décor, remember to use these looks in moderation.
Want to join the trend? Here are a few ideas:
Floral wallpaper might be the biggest “vintage” statement you can make in 2020.
Pretty, florals are nearly everywhere and are a great choice for “powder rooms” and foyers.
Choose bold, colorful wallpapers with large scale prints or metallics.
If the thought of committing to such an extreme look — a look that might be out of style sooner rather than later — gives you pause, many new wallpaper options include “stick-on” options that are easy to remove.
High-contrast designs are currently the most popular “retro” look having a moment in 2020.
The recent movement of white, on white, on white, has been the “go-to” look for a while. The white trend is clean and bright, but can leave living spaces with a “flat” and uninteresting appearance.
All white is giving way to extreme pairings of black and white, or dark and light.
Try a chair with black or bold jewel tone fabric and a white frame.
Get a console table with dark stained wood and replace the hardware with light-colored options.
Don’t limit yourself to solids. Use patterns that mix light and dark, as well.
High-contrast can also apply to different kinds of fabric. Mix rough and smooth textures to add interest.
One of the hottest design trends for 2020 is a combination of high contrast and floral wallpaper. Dramatic, large-scale dark floral wallpaper is inspired by the still life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age.
The all-white kitchen is so 2010s. The new decade brings with it new ideas in kitchen décor. One example is a return to the use of color in the kitchen. Expect to see more natural wood cabinets, islands and shelves.
If you want to take the new color trend further in 2020 add color-pop cabinets. Choose daring colors like dark red, bright yellow, intense green or navy blue. Classic blue is the Pantone Color of the Year and is a perfect choice to add interest to a modern kitchen.
There is something very fairy-tale and romantic about a canopy bed. But forget the idea of canopy beds draped in heavy fabrics with thick headboards. The canopy bed of 2020 is made with sleek metal frames and light, airy material. Think “minimalist” canopy bed. You don’t even need a headboard for modern canopy beds. The best part of the canopy bed is that the beds add height, geometry and interest to even the smallest of rooms.
Antiques are making a comeback in décor throughout the house, but antique art is perhaps the hottest trend of 2020. Antique art that looks aged, and has a story to it, are the most sought-after pieces.
Start your hunt at thrift stores and estate sales. If you decide to be a “serious” collector you can move to art auctions to find pieces for your collection.
Art doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Art is also very subjective, if you like it, if it makes you happy, it’s not important if the piece has value to others, or to experts.
Buy it and hang it. Your friends and family will be fascinated to hear the story of how you found your favorite piece in a thrift store while on vacation, or on a weekend “art hunt.”
Don’t forget to add hanging art, or pieces to open shelves in the kitchen. Use any chance, or available space, you can to add art to add interest, or to make a statement in your home. | <urn:uuid:e0f96075-ccf4-470e-b600-f46aada0ae11> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://signalscv.com/2020/04/a-nod-to-retro-and-vintage-home-decor-for-2020/ | 2024-02-27T20:56:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474686.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227184934-20240227214934-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.910948 | 904 | [

AMD Gaming Platform
When we leave the budget sector behind and start looking at midrange configurations, the amount of customization that can be done becomes far more significant. We basically doubled our budget, but that doesn't mean you actually have to spend anywhere near $1500 to get a reasonable midrange configuration. It should be quite easy to cut back a few areas in order to get the price closer to $1000, if that's the target budget. For the AMD platform, we decided to focus on putting together a good gaming solution.
|AMD Gaming System
|Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (Windsor 2.5GHz 2x512K) - Retail
|EVGA 122-M2-NF59-TR (Socket AM2 nForce 590 SLI)
|Transcend JETRAM 2x1GB DDR2-800 (5-5-5-12 JM2GDDR2-8K)
|Foxconn GeForce 8800GTS 640MB (FV-N88SMBD2-ONOC)
|Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS 320GB 16MB
|Pioneer Black DVR-112D 18X DVD+R
|Athenatech A5719BB.500 with 500W PSU
|Acer AL2216Wbd 22" 5ms (1680x1050)
|Logitech X-530 5.1 70W Speakers
|Keyboard and Mouse
|Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 B2L-00047
|Windows MCE 2005 or Vista Home Premium (OEM)
CPU performance can still be a factor in many games, particularly RTS games where lots of units might be in action at the same time, but graphics horsepower is still far more important in the majority of titles. We made a moderate upgrade to the processor selection, going with the Athlon X2 4800+. That should offer more than enough power for any current games, and it leaves us plenty of money to spend on the GPU. Overclocking is always an option, although most AMD AM2 processors seem to top out in the range of 2.6-2.8GHz so we would either go with a less expensive CPU for overclocking purposes or else simply spend the extra money in order to get a guaranteed minimum performance. If you want something faster than a 4800+ and you don't want to move to Core 2 Duo, the 5400+ is worth a serious look. Priced at $200, that processor comes with 1MB of L2 cache per core and a default clock speed of 2.8GHz - basically what used to be the $1000 FX-62. Just don't expect it to greatly improve your gaming performance except at lower resolutions/detail settings.
For the motherboard, looking at prices we decided the ability to support dual X16 PCI-E slots was a reasonable addition, as the price isn't much higher than the dual X8 PCI-E alternatives. The nForce 590 SLI chipset has been well-regarded since its launch last year, and prices on such boards have dropped substantially. This also gives us the option to move up to SLI graphics cards in the future to improve performance, and while that tends to be beyond the realm of midrange computers it's not inconceivable that some people will want to spend a couple hundred dollars a year from now to improve performance. Taking a look at the current 590 SLI motherboard offerings, EVGA comes out on top with some of the best features while maintaining the lowest price - under $100 after rebate! The EVGA motherboard is actually the same reference design as the Foxconn nForce 590 SLI board that garnered our Silver Editors' Choice award last year, right down to the inclusion of FireWire 1394b support, and it costs $35 less than the Foxconn board before rebates.
As we mentioned, the graphics card is going to be the primary concern in just about any gaming system. Right now, without blowing our budget by moving up to the 8800 GTX, the GeForce 8800 GTS is the most reasonable solution. Having settled on that chip, you then need to decide whether you want to get the more expensive 640MB version or stick with the basic 320MB offering. There are several games out that are using a lot of textures, which can start taxing 512MB cards, so opting for the larger memory version seems to make the most sense in terms of serious gaming. It's also a lot easier to find factory overclocked cards in the 640MB models without paying too much of a price premium. The Foxconn 8800 GTS comes clocked at 575/1800 (stock is 500/1600) and after rebates it ties several other cards as being the cheapest 8800 GTS 640MB. Lowest priced card with higher factory clock speeds? We'll take it, especially considering all of the GeForce 8800 cards use the same NVIDIA supplied circuit board, so the only real differences will be factory clock speeds, warranty/support, and potentially modified cooling solutions. XFX and EVGA may come with better warranty policies, but Foxconn certainly isn't a bad company to deal with in our experience.
Before you rush out and purchase this particular graphics card, however, it is worth noting that AMD's new Radeon X2900 XT/XTX cards are scheduled to launch in the next month. The rumors have it that these cards will offer performance better than the 8800 GTX at prices starting around $400 for the XT model. Whether or not the availability and drivers are going to be up to snuff is a complete unknown - NVIDIA is still working on G80 driver issues, particularly in regards to Windows Vista, and we don't have any DirectX 10 enabled games yet - but it certainly wouldn't hurt to wait another month and see what happens. Should you choose to get one of the new AMD graphics cards, you might also want to skip the EVGA SLI board and pick up an ASUS M2R32-MVP 580X CrossFire enabled motherboard instead.
For the memory, this time we did upgrade to 2GB of RAM. We didn't bother with anything fancy - 5-5-5-12 memory is only a few percent slower than 4-4-4-12 memory and costs quite a bit less - and again we are quite pleased to see that memory prices have dropped a long way since the beginning of the year. Transcend JETRAM is one of the many memory providers that offers "average" performance. If you're looking to set speed or overclocking records, you could certainly spend more money and get RAM that is capable of running at much higher clock speeds with better timings, but for the cost you would be far better off spending the extra money on a faster graphics card or processor first. We generally only recommend exotic memory solutions for the high-end market.
Most of the remaining components have received minor upgrades relative to our entry level configurations. The hard drive is slightly larger, we chose 5.1 speakers, and we selected a different case with a "more powerful" power supply. The power supply probably isn't all that great, but if you aren't going to push your system with overclocking, multiple graphics cards, or a bunch of hard drives the 500W PSU included with the Athenatech case will work fine.
The display once again presented us with a dilemma: do we want to go with a higher quality offering or do we want a larger display? In reality, most of the 22" and smaller LCDs tend to have fewer features and lower quality. For example, TN panels are standard on every 22" LCD we've seen so far, and they are also used on most of the other smaller displays. It's possible to find S-PVA panels on some of the 20" displays, but you will end up paying more than the 22" Acer that we selected. The AL2216W is a decent quality display, and the price makes it particularly attractive. Acer also has a newer and slightly less expensive AL2223W offering, although that is a 6-bit panel that approximates 16.2 million colors via dithering whereas the AL2216W is an 8-bit panel. | <urn:uuid:dce058e9-91d4-4a51-a8de-79751a538761> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.anandtech.com/Show/Index/2216?cPage=2&all=False&sort=0&page=4 | 2024-02-27T19:58:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474686.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227184934-20240227214934-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.936568 | 1,683 | [

While I have many favorite places in the world (London, Paris, New York...), by far my absolute favorite place to be is smack dab in the middle of the sea on boat with the people I love most. If I wasn't an Art Director, I definitely would have been a Marine Biologist. I took so many classes and even did a study trip to Fiji to study and preserve their underwater eco-system. I freaking love the ocean. So any chance that I get to be on the water, I take it. These photos are from a sailing trip I took with my mom, Jo, and my grandparents. We went out of Dana Point and sailed straight into the horizon. Thousands of Common and Bottlenose Dolphins swam in the boats wake and played under the bow. We played cards, ate, drank, and watched the sun set. It could not have been a more perfect day. Sharing more from my mini getaway soon!

Koçtaş increased efficiency and reduced costs in the supply process with vSRM.View Case Study
Koçtaş increased efficiency and reduced costs in the supply process with vSRM.
Koçtaş, among Turkey’s leading retail chain companies, has been successfully using ITG’s –who is known with the innovative technologies introduced in the supply chain management- vSRM (virtual Supplier Relationship Management) application since 2007. Authorities of Koçtaş who built a fast and sound communication with its suppliers during every step from the communication of the orders to the suppliers via vSRM to the delivery indicate that this system, which does not create any additional cost to them, has gone beyond satisfying their expectations in changing conditions, and new requests can be rapidly commissioned and opened for use.
The system is being used by over 500 active suppliers.
Monthly 50 thousand orders in average are entered to vSRM.
Over 20 thousand products are managed during the supply process.
98% of the purchasing turnover passes through vSRM.
vSRM is being used by over 250 people under the body of Koçtaş either directly or indirectly.
All purchases of the headquarters and 26 stores are managed via vSRM.
Before beginning to use vSRM, we needed to spend a serious manpower
and time to obtain the answers to the questions such as ‘How many orders are we creating, how many of them are we sending’, ‘How many of the orders are taken by the suppliers’, and ‘When are the orders delivered’. Furthermore, a process prone to human errors was in question. With vSRM, we are able to obtain very fast and sound replies to these questions. The data we obtained from vSRM is also influencing our decision making processes very positively, and we can take decisions much faster than the previous times.
Information Technologies Manager
Gains Using vSRM
An efficient and fast communication environment has been obtained with vSRM.
The productivity experienced in the supply process has positively influenced the customer satisfaction of Koçtaş.
With vSRM, all stages of the supply process became measurable.
With vSRM, the supply process stopped being depended on people and the errors have been minimized.
An interactive communication environment has been established with the suppliers and the communication has been reinforced.
Order and supply performance criteria (KPI) started to be obtained very quickly and correctly.
Utilization of vSRM provided time and resource saving in our business processes.
Immediate information of the suppliers from the order changes by means of the automatic e-mails and SMS services which are produced by the system has been enabled and the reaction periods have been improved.
The system enabled increasing the service quality of suppliers.
Owing to vSRM, the performance of suppliers began to be evaluated via numerical data.
A structure which supports the development of suppliers has been realized.
The system, which enables all suppliers to see the stock level via vSRM also allowed for the suppliers to perform production planning.
In order to automatically transfer the orders to the own systems of the willing suppliers, a standard infrastructure which provides data transfer in different formats (EDI, XML, csv) has been created.
The required infrastructure for the supply process was established in a fast, practical and flexible manner with vSRM. A system with low total cost of ownership and sustainability was realized.

President Cyril Ramaphosa rejects the private prosecution, says Zuma is abusing legal processes.
South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma has charged current President Cyril Ramaphosa in a private prosecution, a move Ramaphosa rejects as an “abuse of legal processes”.
This comes as the ruling African National Congress (ANC) begins its national elective conference on Friday to decide whether Ramaphosa will stand for president in South Africa’s next election in 2024. Ramaphosa has led the ANC since he took over from Zuma in 2017.
list of 4 items
end of list
Zuma initiated the proceedings on Thursday, accusing Ramaphosa of being an alleged “accessory” in the leaking of a confidential medical document about him to the media.
The case is linked to Zuma’s long-running but so far unsuccessful campaign to remove prosecutor Billy Downer, who is pursuing the ex-president on corruption charges related to a 1990s arms deal.
“President Cyril Ramaphosa has been charged in a private prosecution with the criminal offence of being accessory after the fact in the crimes committed by among others Advocate Downer namely, breaching the provisions of the [National Prosecuting Authority] NPA Act,” the Jacob Zuma Foundation said in a statement.
“The serious crimes for which Mr Ramaphosa has been charged with in a court of law carry the sentence of 15 years in prison,” it added.
In response, the presidency issued a statement on Friday saying: “President Cyril Ramaphosa rejects with the utmost contempt Mr. Jacob Zuma’s abuse of legal processes and perversion of the ‘nolle prosequi’ (private prosecution) provision.” | <urn:uuid:16337c4d-839d-46fc-a065-2a4fcbb158a5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://alkambatimes.com/s-africa-ex-president-zuma-sues-ramaphosa-ahead-of-key-party-vote/ | 2024-03-02T21:59:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476137.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20240302215752-20240303005752-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.947689 | 370 | [

(George Marks recently sent me a higher resolution scan of the 1971 Catalog employess spread. One plus was that the full text below the double page photo spread was visible. I thought it was prescient enough to be worth retyping and appeneding as a commentary. It follows:)
Dear Sierra Designs --
For the past several summers I have had the pleasure of hiking through the souther Sierras by trail and cross country. I know he range and love it.
The last two years I have been in some of the remotest areas--well away from the trail system at elevations in excess of 11,500-12,000 feet.
I write this to qualify what I am about to say. The Sierra Nevada is being rapidly plluted by people who either innocently or maliciously leave their garbage and open sweres, wash with soap in the lakes and streams, etc. I hvae seen toilet paper and soap suds in East Lake, tin foil on the summit of Mt Brewer, and garbage everywhere. Soon the water will be unfit to drink--it already is at Rae Lakes. The remoter areas are also being clutter by garbage and crap, open sweres and managled snags, etc.
This shouldn't come as a suprise. Most of the damage is done by the ignorant--those who don't understand that aluminum doesn't dissolve--that the earth is a limited system. You make some of the finest equipment and are in a position to inform these people that either they treat the earth with respect or sone the whole range will be nothing more than another polluted human disgrace.
Please enclose in your equpment a small pamphlet explaining the need to:
Pack out everything (foil, orange peels, cellophane,etc.).
Not cut living trees or mangle beautiful snages--there is plenty of down wood; sufficient to cook with.
Never was with soap in the steams and lakes
Use biodgradable soap
Never throw food in the water--the fish do not eat it. Instead it rots and pollutes.
Make your toilet deep, buried, and away from camps and water.
Never bury garbage. The animals do dig it up.
I am sending similar letters to all companies I can find. I think so highly of your equipment that I especially hope you will agree with my sincere suggetions. Either we act now to educate the naive (perhaps lazy...etc) or there will be no more clear water, uncluttered earth, etc, in the Sierra, Cascades, Wind River or anywhere else. | <urn:uuid:25bf123b-2220-46a8-a785-7826b63e49dd> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.outinunder.com/content/dear-sierra-designs | 2024-03-04T07:52:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476432.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304065639-20240304095639-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.957475 | 536 | [

Plaid Button-Up: Thrifted
Iron Maiden Crop: Thrifted D.I.Y.
Distressed Jeans: Old, D.I.Y
Hair Color: "Amethyst" by Lunar Tides
(Use coupon code "Susanna" to receive 10% off your purchase)
Here I am yet again wearing another plaid and denim combo. This fearsome duo seems to be my favorite combination as of late as it is such an easy way to throw a comfy look together while adding some texture and definition. As usual most of the pieces I am wearing here are thrifted/old from my closet, and finding new ways to wear pieces that I've owned for quite awhile has become my favorite challenge in styling an outfit.
Lately I have been a tad obsessed with my little black pointed toe ankle boots. I know the ongoing trend in street style right now seems to be platform anything, and while I do love a good platform shoe (my T.U.K. Nosebleed boots seen in previous posts are no exception), I've been wanting to steer my style in a more practical direction for the everyday. As many of you know, I ride my bike everywhere (I do not own a car so my bicycle is my vehicle of transportation), and these little booties allow me to do so while maintaining a sense of my personal expression. :)
Also, I wanted to let you guys know that I have collaborated with an amazing independent, vegan and cruelty free hair dye company based out of Portland, Oregon called Lunar Tides. They recently sent me a couple of dyes (of my choosing) to try out and share with all of you, along with a coupon code: "Susanna", that you can use for 10% off of your purchase if you fancy yourself some mermaid hair! In this post my hair color is in their shade "Amethyst", which is very similar to the shades I have been using in my hair lately to achieve its lavender hue that I have grown to love. I must admit that I am quite pleased with their product thus far. One jar of color seems to saturate my hair so perfectly that it makes application super easy.. and the dyes smell absolutely wonderful! In past experiences I have used dyes that have had a harsh, almost offensive scent to them that often irritate my scalp along with also having to use several jars/bottles of dye even to achieve a very light pastel shade. BUT! This is not the case with Lunar Tides. Their product is a breath of fresh air.. and dye.. and I am a fan for life. Support independent, ethical and sustainable businesses by checking them out:
**Don't forget to use the coupon code "Susanna" to receive 10% off anything your heart desires.**
And that's it for today! I will be taking next weekend off from posting over here on the blog as I will be out of town, but I am still/as always very active on my Instagram, and I should be back to regular posting in a couple of weeks.
Thanks so much for reading! Love to you all. =^.^=
**P.S. For any who might inquire, it started raining during this shoot hence the reason for the differing shades in the background of some of the pictures.** | <urn:uuid:21b1f189-9f91-4673-9be7-9e1753db1311> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.susannalynnwilds.com/2017/02/lunar-tides.html | 2024-03-04T09:10:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476432.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304065639-20240304095639-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.968192 | 682 | [

Looking for new and exciting ways to eat your veggies? This Whole30 Spicy Vegetable Soup is super easy and delicious — and just keeps getting better!
A friend of mine sent me a recipe for spicy cabbage soup that’s been floating around the internet for a while. I followed the recipe she sent me pretty closely, with a few changes to make it Whole30 compliant. I would post the source, but I wasn’t able to find the exact one. Actually, several similar recipes come up if you search for it, with a few different variations.
I have to be honest, I was really skeptical when she called this “cabbage soup” (which is part of the reason why I decided not to use the same name for my version). I’m not usually a big fan of cooked cabbage. But she was really adamant that it was one of the most delicious recipes she’d ever made, so I decided to at least give it a try.
The result was a delightful surprise! It’s savory, spicy, and perfect for a rainy day (or any day for that matter). So, if you’re like me, and skeptical of cooked cabbage, please just give it a chance! You won’t be disappointed 🙂
You’ll be using ghee or coconut oil in this recipe, but in my experience, coconut oil goes really well in this soup, regardless of whether it is refined or unrefined (tasteless or tastes like coconut). Even if you’re afraid of using unrefined coconut oil due to the taste of coconut, you should give it a try. Most people agree that cold-pressed, unrefined coconut oil is better for you. I promise you won’t taste it in this recipe due to the strong flavors of the seasoning and spices. You can purchase unrefined coconut oil on Amazon, and this website provides a list of some of the best options.

Roughy chop half a head of cabbage and dice your vegetables.
Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or coconut oil in a medium soup pot on medium high heat, and add your onions, carrots, peppers, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are soft.
Add the minced garlic and spices. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Next, add the canned tomatoes, broth, and water. Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer.
Cook for at least one hour, or until the cabbage is tender.
Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Add some crumbled sausage or shredded chicken to the top!
Store in the fridge for up to five days, the flavors keep getting better! | <urn:uuid:acba10a9-7cad-45a8-af38-ac9861b65f3f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://paulagoesprimal.com/whole30-spicy-vegetable-soup/ | 2024-02-21T02:15:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473360.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221002544-20240221032544-00491.warc.gz | en | 0.948277 | 649 | [

Retro rocks – 80’s rock night
Location:Real Time Live, 13 Marsden St. Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S40 1JY
Retro rocks – 80s and 90s rock night featuring live music from Poizon & Rock DJ
Remember that time before real life got in the way?
The rock nights at Le Montmatre, seeing Def Leppard play the Aquarius, or travelling a bit further afield to Rock City in Notts, or Rebels or Roxy’s in Sheffield?
The hair was BIG, the guyliner was out in full force and there was more hairspray in the Gents than the Ladies – but we knew how to party in style with our spandex pants, cowboy boots, concho belts and studded leather wristbands.
Drinking Red Stripe, White Lightning, Hooch and Mad Dog 20/20, we rocked out to the likes of Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Guns n Roses, Little Angels, Van Halen, Skid Row, AC/DC, Metallica and kings of sleaze, Poison.
FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
Real Time Live is going back in time to relive those heady days!
On Saturday 18 October, for the bargain price of just £6 each, you can don those spandex once again, catch up with old friends and reunite at RETRO ROCKS, combining live music with a rock DJ.
So get that babysitter booked and come dance, headbang and mosh the night away in Chesterfield!
Authentic rock covers band Spandex Rising will open with a storming setlist including songs by Dogs D’Amour, Motley Crue, Faster Pussycat, Def Leppard, Guns n Roses, Skid Row, Vain and KISS to put you in the mood and get the party started.
Our rock DJ will continue with the best of classic rock tunes from the 80s and 90s (get your requests in early!) before our headliners Poizon take you right back to the most authentic Poison gig you’ll ever see.
Capturing the energy, party anthems and power ballads of one of the genre’s most popular bands, Poizon will deliver the magic of a rock show quite like no other.
The Kings of the LA Sunset Strip have not toured the UK kki Rockett and Bobby Dall.
No detail is left unturned – the double bass drum, viper green drum kit, the balloons, the pyro and the confetti… it’s all there, along with some of the greatest Party Rock Anthems EVER!
Get ready to Talk Dirty To Me, slow dance to Every Rose Has Its Thorn, freak out to Unskinny Bop – and most of all, have NOTHIN BUT A GOOD TIME!
Don’t miss out – get your tickets early at http://www.wegottickets.com/event/270608 for just £6 (£8 on the door) and LET’S ROCK! | <urn:uuid:e2c377b2-1545-4e57-95d3-ab37a29ce3ae> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://realtimelive.co.uk/events/retro-rocks-80s-rock-night/ | 2024-02-21T02:17:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473360.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221002544-20240221032544-00491.warc.gz | en | 0.846733 | 650 | [

If you are thinking of immigrating to Switzerland, the process will almost certainly start with your discovery that the cost of living in Switzerland is rather high. This expense carries across the board: food, accommodation, everything. Why is Switzerland so expensive? There are a number of reasons.
Firstly, the standard of living is very high. Rented accommodation is pricey, and also rather rare throughout the country, but once you have secured your home, you will find everything in good condition, with your landlord held to much higher standards than are often found elsewhere, even in other first-world countries.
Secondly, in Switzerland average income is uniformly higher than in other countries, enabling those higher prices to be paid without too much stress or worry. Thanks to the largely socialist basis on which the country operates, no citizen is left to become homeless or go bankrupt in the way that can happen in capitalist economies.
The Swiss healthcare system is provided by insurance companies, and anyone moving into the country must take out a policy within three months of moving to the country. However, unlike American insurance schemes, which are run for profit, Swiss healthcare insurance is operated affordably – again, those generous salaries coming into play – and deductibles (the amount the patient must pay after the insurance company has made their contribution) are capped. As well as the basic, compulsory policies, Swiss residents are able to purchase 'add-on' insurance to cover costs that would otherwise not be met.
Once you move to Switzerland and begin to work and live there (for more than 30 days, generally), you are considered a resident of the country, and as such you are liable to pay tax. There is no expat tax as such, but you will be expected to pay tax on any earnings made from work done in the country. There are some exemptions – such as earnings made from property outside Switzerland – but in general, anyone living in the country must pay a fair amount of tax.
The employment market in Switzerland tends to be very stable, with people largely tending to stay in their jobs for decades once they are settled. This means that for expat jobs Switzerland is quite a tough market to break into, and anyone thinking of moving to the country should make the effort to find work beforehand, and should generally have qualifications that mean their skills are in high demand.

I love Irish food. It's simple, nutritious and tasty, and made from the finest ingredients in the world.
My childhood was happy and healthy, nourished by plenty of potatoes, succulent meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, and my mother's homemade cakes, breads and desserts.
When I moved to America over twenty years ago I was astonished to hear so many disparaging remarks about my national cuisine.
Table of Contents
Irish Food - A Mixed Reputation
I remember watching the Today show one morning. Bryant Gumble was hosting back then. His recent trip to Ireland was a highlight of that particular show. I watched with pride as he praised the beauty of my homeland. My bubble soon burst. He threw his eyes to heaven once he mentioned Irish food.
When Irish American comedian Dennis Leary was being roasted by his friends at Comedy Central, he joked it should have been a boil instead of a roast. His Irish mother and most Irish women have a penchant for boiling nearly every meal.
Irish born actor, Peter O'Toole, said his three favorite Irish foods were all Guinness. Poor Irish food! It often takes a beating here in America.
Our cooking has a reputation for being bland, sauceless and lacking in flavor. This opinion is understandable in a world where exotic spices are over-rated, and food is expected to appeal to the eye more than to the palate.
The old joke tells how the Irish cook's spice drawer holds nothing but salt and pepper.
Irish Food - Simple and Tasty Fare
Irish food may seem dull to some, but for me it is the straightforward simplicity of its ingredients and techniques that put it in a distinctive, satisfying class all of its own.
French cuisine is magnificent, yet not for the everyday cook with little time to fuss and fume over sautee pans and steaming pots.
In years gone by the Irish cook had little more than an open fire and a big black pot for cooking. As a result traditional Irish meals are not elaborate.
Simple and economical, Irish food does not try to mask the true flavor of wholesome, quality ingredients. It is an unpretentious cuisine, whose strength lies in its simplicity.
Many Americans eat out way too often. Sometimes I think the home cook is intimidated by the complexity of many ethnic cuisines. Cooking shows focus on elaborate recipes and visually appealing dishes, rather than assisting the home cook to learn simple, economical family favorites.
Irish Americans have an unjustified, inferiority complex about the traditional recipes of our forefathers. We need to learn to be proud of our cuisine.
To this day it is the rustic food of my childhood that I long for, not the fancy American food I first tasted when I lived in New York.
Irish Food - Glorious Recipes
Anyone who has tasted a Guinness beef stew, or a roast leg of lamb, can testify to the glories of Irish cooking.
At Thanksgiving time Americans plan their great family get-togethers with time-honored dinner menus.
I believe Irish side dishes are perfect to pair with turkey. Why not give an Irish twist to a traditional American Thanksgiving meal.
Remember, the Irish know plenty about cooking turkey. An Irish Christmas dinner usually features roast turkey.
And so I make no apologies for Irish food. I plan to keep cooking as my mother cooked, and her mother and grandmother before her.
Why not check out my free Irish recipe book, which you can save and print at home.
Come back and visit often. Together we can bring Irish American food to a new level of excellence and appreciation.
