Floods From Basement Stairways in Alabama
Preventing flooding through basement stairways and hatchway doors
When you waterproof your basement, you’ll want to be able to count on it to be dry — and to stay dry from that point on. If your basement is flooding from the stairs and hatchway entryway, then the job is not done.
Hatchway entrances are typically constructed separately from the foundation walls. This entryway is usually designed as a concrete shell that’s bolted on to the foundation walls after they’re built. Often, stairs will come already built into the pre-cast entryway.
After the hatchway is installed in place, metal doors are fixed on top. If necessary, the stairs are built inside, and the construction is completed. These hatchways are usually not sealed to the foundation walls.
Our solutions install quickly and are backed by a written lifetime warranty! To schedule your basement waterproofing quote free of charge and with NO obligation, contact us today! We serve throughout Alabama, including Madison, Birmingham, Huntsville and many surrounding areas nearby.
Where Basement Stairways Flood
Hatchway entrances leak from three critical points:
1. Underneath Metal Hatchway Doors
Metal hatchway doors are not flush with the concrete frame they’re attached to. As rain builds up on the doors, it will slide down the doors and pool on the concrete around the edges of the doors.
From this point, the water has two paths that it can follow — it can either continue to flow down to the ground, or it will slip underneath the metal hatchway door and onto the stairs inside the hatchway.
2. Where The Hatchway And Foundation Meet
The concrete shell of the hatchway is mounted to the foundation walls via bolts, which are drilled through the concrete of the foundation.
Because it’s rare for this joining point to be sealed by the contractors, it is a major weak point where water can flood through to your basement.
As groundwater builds up around the foundation during a rain event, it presses in on this weak spot and allows significant flooding.
3. Through Cracks In The Concrete
Like any concrete structure, a hatchway entrance will begin to form cracks over time. Water will flood through these cracks, move to the stairs and end up flooding into your basement area.
Some old-fashioned hatchway doors were built with loose panels of wood (instead of metal), with little or no attempt to keep water out. Water easily floods through the gaps in these doors.
Once water builds up in a hatchway entrance, the puddles will expand into the basement.

In music, the organ (from Greek ὄργανον organon, "organ, instrument, tool") is a keyboard instrument of one or more divisions, each played with its own keyboard, played either with the hands or with the feet. The organ is a relatively old musical instrument, dating from the time of Ctesibius of Alexandria, who is credited with inventing the water organ. It was played throughout the Greek and Roman world, particularly during races and games. During the early medieval period it spread from the Byzantine Empire, where it continued to be used in secular and imperial court music, to Western Europe, where it gradually assumed a prominent place in the liturgy of the Catholic Church. Subsequently it re-emerged as a secular and recital instrument.

Pipe organs use wind moving through pipes to produce sounds. Since the 16th century, pipe organs have used various materials for pipes, which can vary widely in timbre and volume. The pipes are divided into ranks and controlled by the use of hand stops and combination pistons. Although the keyboard is not expressive as on a piano and does not affect dynamics (pressing a key only turns the sound on or off), some divisions may be enclosed in a swell box, allowing the dynamics to be controlled by shutters. Some organs are totally enclosed, meaning all the manuals and the pedals can be controlled by one set of shutters. Some special registers with free reed pipes are expressive. These instruments vary greatly in size, ranging from a cubic yard to a height reaching five floors, and are built in churches, synagogues, concert halls, and homes. Small organs are called "positive" (easily placed in different locations) or "portative" (small enough to carry while playing). Increasingly hybrid organs are appearing in which pipes are augmented with electronic additions. Great economies of space and cost are possible especially when the lowest (and largest) of the pipes can be replaced.
Mechanical organs include the barrel organ, water organ, and Orchestrion. These are controlled by mechanical means such as pinned barrels or book music. Little barrel organs dispense with the hands of an organist and bigger organs are powered in most cases by an organ grinder or today by other means such as an electric motor.
The pipe organ is the grandest musical instrument in size and scope, and has existed in its current form since the 14th century (though other designs, such as the hydraulic organ, were already used in antiquity). Along with the clock, it was considered one of the most complex human-made mechanical creations before the Industrial Revolution. Pipe organs range in size from a single short keyboard to huge instruments with over 10,000 pipes. A large modern organ typically has three or four keyboards (manuals) with five octaves (61 notes) each, and a two-and-a-half octave (32-note) pedal board.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart called the organ the "King of instruments". Some of the biggest instruments have 64-foot pipes (a foot here means "sonic-foot", a measure quite close to the English measurement unit), and it sounds to an 8 Hz frequency fundamental tone. Perhaps the most distinctive feature is the ability to range from the slightest sound to the most powerful, plein-jeu impressive sonic discharge, which can be sustained in time indefinitely by the organist. For instance, the Wanamaker organ, located in Philadelphia, USA, has sonic resources comparable with three simultaneous symphony orchestras. Another interesting feature lies in its intrinsic "polyphony" approach: each set of pipes can be played simultaneously with others, and the sounds mixed and interspersed in the environment, not in the instrument itself. (Contrast this with digital organs, where the electronically produced sound comes from loudspeakers.)
Most organs in Europe, the Americas and Australasia can be found in Christian churches or Jewish synagogues. The introduction of church organs is traditionally attributed to Pope Vitalian in the 7th century. Due to its simultaneous ability to provide a musical foundation below the vocal register, support in the vocal register, and increased brightness above the vocal register, the organ is ideally suited to accompany human voices, whether a congregation, a choir or a cantor or soloist. Most services also include solo organ repertoire for independent performance rather than by way of accompaniment, often as a prelude at the beginning the service and a postlude at the conclusion of the service.
Today this organ may be a pipe organ (see above), a digital or electronic organ that generates the sound with digital signal processing (DSP) chips or a combination of pipes and electronics. It may be called a church organ or classical organ to differentiate it from the theater organ, which is a different style of instrument. However, as classical organ repertoire was developed for the pipe organ and in turn influenced its development, the line between a church and a concert organ became harder to draw.
Organs are also used to give recital concerts, called organ recitals. In the early 20th century, symphonic organs flourished in secular venues in the United States and UK, designed to replace symphony orchestras by playing transcriptions of orchestral pieces. Symphonic and orchestral organs largely fell out of favor as the orgelbewegung (organ reform movement) took hold in the middle of the 20th century and organ builders began to look to historical models for inspiration in constructing new instruments. Today, modern builders construct organs in a variety of styles and for both secular and sacred applications.
A chamber organ is a small pipe organ, often with only one manual, and sometimes without separate pedal pipes that is placed in a small room, that this diminutive organ can fill with sound. It is often confined to chamber organ repertoire, as often the organs have too few voice capabilities to rival the grand pipe organs in the performance of the classics. The sound and touch are unique to the instrument, sounding nothing like a large organ with few stops drawn out, but rather much more intimate. They are usually tracker instruments, although the modern builders are often building electropneumatic chamber organs.
Pre-Beethoven keyboard music may usually be as easily played on a chamber organ as on a piano or harpsichord, and a chamber organ is sometimes preferable to a harpsichord for continuo playing as it is more suitable for producing a sustained tone.
The theatre organ or cinema organ was designed to accompany silent movies. Like a symphonic organ, it is made to replace an orchestra. However, it includes many more gadgets, such as percussion and special effects, to provide a more complete array of options to the theatre organist. Theatre organs tend not to take nearly as much space as standard organs, relying on extension and higher wind pressures to produce a greater variety of tone and larger volume of sound from fewer pipes.
This extension is called "unification", meaning that instead of one pipe for each key at all pitches, the higher octaves of pitch (and in some cases, lower octaves) are achieved by merely adding 12 pipes (one octave) to the top and/or bottom of a given division. Assuming there are sixty-one keys on an organ manual (a common number in concert organs and in North America), a classical organ has—for diapason stops at 8', 4' and 2' pitch—183 pipes (61 plus 61 plus 61). The same chorus of diapasons on a theatre organ has only 85 pipes (61 plus 12 plus 12). Some ranks, such as the Tibia Clausa, with up to 97 pipes, allow the organist to draw stops at 16', 8', 4', 2', and mutations from a single rank of pipes.
Unification gives a smaller instrument the capability of a much larger one, and works well for monophonic styles of playing (chordal, or chords with solo voice). The sound is, however, thicker and more homogeneous than a classically designed organ, and is very often reliant on the use of tremulant, which has a depth greater than that usually found on a classical organ. Unification also allows pipe ranks to be played from more than one manual and the pedals.
Other pipe organs
The pump organ, or harmonium, was the other main type of organ before the development of electronic organs. It generated its sounds using reeds similar to those of a piano accordion. Smaller, cheaper and more portable than the corresponding pipe instrument, these were widely used in smaller churches and in private homes, but their volume and tonal range was extremely limited, and they were generally limited to one or two manuals, pedalboards being extremely rare.
Since the 1930s, pipeless electric instruments have been available to produce similar sounds and perform similar roles to pipe organs. Many of these have been bought both by houses of worship and other potential pipe organ customers, and also by many musicians both professional and amateur for whom a pipe organ would not be a possibility. Far smaller and cheaper to buy than a corresponding pipe instrument, and in many cases portable, they have taken organ music into private homes and into dance bands and other new environments, and have almost completely replaced the reed organ.
The Hammond organ was the first successful electric organ, released in the 1930s. It used mechanical, rotating tonewheels to produce the sound waveforms. Its system of drawbars allowed for setting volumes for specific sounds, and it provided vibrato-like effects. The drawbars allow the player to choose volume levels of 0-8 for each of the members of the harmonic series starting from 16'. By emphasizing certain harmonics from the overtone series, desired sounds (such as 'brass' or 'string') can be imitated. Generally, the older Hammond drawbar organs had only preamplifiers and were connected to an external, amplified speaker. The Leslie speaker, which rotates to create a distinctive tremolo, became the most popular. The three most popular models of Hammond organs were the consoles: the B-3, C-3, and A-100. Inside all three models, the tone generators, drawbars, and keyboards were identical. The B-3 cabinet stood on 4 legs, the C-3 was an enclosed "church" model, and the A100 series had built in amplifiers and speakers.
In addition to these console models, Hammond also produced spinet models, which differed from the consoles in the size of keyboard (44 keys per keyboard versus 61 for the consoles, and 12 or 13 pedals instead of 25) and the absence of foldback and scaling in the keyboards making them cheaper to manufacture. Other features of the console organs such as vibrato or percussion were included in the spinets; all the spinet models featured a built in amplifier and speaker; when used with the external amplified speaker (e.g.: Leslie) they sound similar to the console models. These smaller all-in-one organs were intended primarily for use in homes or very small churches.
Though originally produced to replace organs in the church, the Hammond organ, especially the model B-3, became popular in jazz, particularly soul jazz, and in gospel music. Since these were the roots of rock and roll, the Hammond organ became a part of the rock and roll sound. It was widely used in rock and popular music during the 1960s and 1970s by bands like The Doors, Pink Floyd, Procol Harum, Santana and Deep Purple. Its popularity resurged in pop music around 2000, in part due to the availability of clonewheel organs that were light enough for one person to carry.
Other electronic organs
In the 1940s until the 1970s, small organs were sold that simplified traditional organ stops. These instruments can be considered the predecessor to modern portable keyboards, as they included one-touch chords, rhythm and accompaniment devices, and other electronically assisted gadgets. Lowrey was the leading manufacturer of this type of organs in the smaller (spinet) instruments.
In the '60s and '70s, a type of simple, portable electronic organ called the combo organ was popular, especially with pop and rock bands, and was a signature sound in the pop music of the period, such as The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Iron Butterfly. The most popular combo organs were manufactured by Farfisa and Vox.
Conn-Selmer and Rodgers, dominant in the market for larger instruments, also made electronic organs that used separate oscillators for each note rather than frequency dividers, giving them a richer sound, closer to a pipe organ, due to the slight imperfections in tuning.
Hybrids, starting in the early 20th century, incorporate a few ranks of pipes to produce some sounds, and use electronic circuits or digital samples for other sounds and to resolve borrowing collisions. Major manufacturers include Allen, Walker, Compton, Wicks, Marshall & Ogletree, Phoenix, Makin Organs, Wyvern Organs and Rodgers.
The development of the integrated circuit enabled another revolution in electronic keyboard instruments. Digital organs sold since the 1970s utilize additive synthesis, then sampling technology (1980s) and physical modelling synthesis (1990s) are also utilized to produce the sound.
Virtual pipe organs use MIDI to access samples of real pipe organs stored on a computer, as opposed to digital organs that use DSP and processor hardware inside a console to produce the sounds or deliver the sound samples. Touch screen monitors allows the user to control the virtual organ console; a traditional console and its physical stop and coupler controls is not required. In such a basic form, a virtual organ can be obtained at a much lower cost than other digital classical organs.
The wind can also be created by using pressurized steam instead of air. The steam organ, or calliope, was invented in the United States in the 19th century. Calliopes usually have very loud and clean sound. Calliopes are used as outdoors instruments, and many have been built on wheeled platforms.
The organ has had an important place in classical music throughout its history. Antonio de Cabezón, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, and Girolamo Frescobaldi were three of the most important composers and teachers before 1650. Influenced by these composers, the North German school then rose to prominence with notable composers including Dieterich Buxtehude and especially Johann Sebastian Bach, considered by many to have achieved the height of organ composition. During this time, the French Classical school also flourished.
After Bach, the organ's prominence gradually lost ground to the piano. Felix Mendelssohn, A.P.F. Boëly, and César Franck led a resurgence in the mid-19th century, leading a Romantic movement that would be carried further by Charles-Marie Widor, Louis Vierne, and others.
In the 20th century, early-modernist Max Reger devoted a great deal of his compositional time to the organ; from small organ pieces to large-scale works such as the choral fantasias, Symphonic Fantasy and Fugue (Opus 57), Fantasy and Fugue on B.A.C.H (Opus 46) and the monumental, Introduction, Variations and Fugue on an Original Theme (Opus 73). Reger's contribution to the organ repertoire is second only to Bach. Other composers such as Marcel Dupré and Olivier Messiaen also added significant contributions to the organ repertoire.
Because the organ has both manuals and pedals, organ music has come to be notated on three staves. The music played on the manuals is laid out like music for other keyboard instruments on the top two staves, and the music for the pedals is notated on the third stave or sometimes, to save space, added to the bottom of the second stave as was the early practice. To aid the eye in reading three staves at once, the bar lines are broken between the lowest two staves; the brace surrounds only the upper two staves. Because music racks are often built quite low to preserve sightlines over the console, organ music is usually published in oblong or landscape format.
From their creation on radio in the 1930s to the times of television in the early 1970s, soap operas were perhaps the biggest users of organ music. Day in and day out, the melodramatic serials utilized the instrument in the background of scenes and in their opening and closing theme songs. Some of the best-known soap organists included Charles Paul, John Gart, and Paul Barranco. In the early 1970s, the organ was phased out in favor of more dramatic, full-blown orchestras, which in turn were replaced with more modern pop-style compositions.
Church-style pipe organs are occasionally used in rock music. In some cases, groups have sought out the sound of the pipe organ, such as Tangerine Dream, and Arrogant Worms, which combined the distinctive sounds of electronic synthesizers and pipe organs when it recorded both music albums and videos in several cathedrals in Europe. Rick Wakeman of British progressive rock group Yes also used pipe organ to excellent effect in a number of the group's albums (including Close to the Edge and Going for the One). Wakeman has also used pipe organ in his solo pieces such as "Jane Seymour" from The Six Wives Of Henry VIII and "Judas Iscariot" from Criminal Record. Even more recently, he has recorded an entire album of organ pieces – Rick Wakeman at Lincoln Cathedral. Likewise, Keith Emerson used a pipe organ with The Nice and progressive rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer on their earlier albums on the songs "The Three Fates," "The Only Way" and "Promenade." George Duke employed the pipe organ in a flamboyant manner in the piece "50/50" on the Frank Zappa album Over-Nite Sensation. Dennis DeYoung of American rock group Styx used the pipe organ at Chicago's St. James Cathedral on the song "I'm O.K." on the group's 1978 album Pieces of Eight. In 2000 Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke played the organ on the Kid A album to great effect, most notably in "Motion Picture Soundtrack". More recently, Arcade Fire have used a church organ on the songs "Intervention" and "My Body Is a Cage" on their second album Neon Bible. Muse have also used a church organ on their album Origin of Symmetry in the form of "Megalomania", and also briefly in "Unnatural Selection", found on The Resistance, played by their frontman Matt Bellamy on both occasions. It has been performed live only once on a pipe organ, at the Royal Albert Hall. Roger Hodgson (formerly of Supertramp) used a pipe organ for the songs Say Goodbye, Open the Door and Danielle in 2000 for the album Open the Door.
On the other hand, electronic organs and electromechanical organs such as the Hammond organ have an established role in a number of non-"Classical" genres, such as blues, jazz, gospel, and 1960s and 1970s rock music. Electronic and electromechanical organs were originally designed as lower-cost substitutes for pipe organs. Despite this intended role as a sacred music instrument, electronic and electromechanical organs' distinctive tone-often modified with electronic effects such as vibrato, rotating Leslie speakers, and overdrive-became an important part of the sound of popular music. Billy Preston and Iron Butterfly's Doug Ingle have featured organ on popular recordings such as "Let it Be" and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", respectively. Well-known rock artists using the Hammond organ include Bob Dylan, Counting Crows, Pink Floyd, Hootie & the Blowfish, Sheryl Crow, Sly Stone and Deep Purple.
Recent performers of popular organ music include William Rowland of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma who is noted for his compositions of "Piano Rags," which he plays on a Wurlitzer theatre organ in Miami, Oklahoma; George Wright (1920–1998) whose "Jealousie" and "Puttin on the Ritz" are some of the finest performances of this genre and Virgil Fox (1912–1980), who bridged both the classical and religious areas of music with pop and so-called Heavy Organ concerts that he played on an electronic organ accompanied by a light show similar to those created in the 1960s for rock concerts. Jimmy Smith was a famous jazz organist of the 20th century.
The American Theater Organ Society (ATOS) has been instrumental in programs to preserve the instruments originally installed in theatres for accompaniment of silent movies. In addition to local chapter events they hold an annual convention each year, highlighting performers and instruments in a specific locale. These instruments feature the Tibia pipe family as their foundation stops and regular use of tremulants. They were usually equipped with mechanical percussion accessories, pianos, and other imitative sounds useful in creating movie sound accompaniments such as auto horns, doorbells, and bird whistles.
The baseball organ has been referred to as "an accessory to the overall auditory experience of the ballpark." The first team to introduce an organ during breaks of play (before and after games, in between innings, and during longer stoppages) was the Chicago Cubs, who put an organ in Wrigley Field as an experiment in 1941 for two games. Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, hired baseball's first full-time organist, Gladys Gooding, the following year, who eventually gained so much fame as to become the punchline of a joke: "Who played every game last year for the Dodgers without making an error?". Over the years, many ballparks caught on to the trend, and many organists became well-known and associated with their parks or signature tunes: Eddie Layton playing at Yankee Stadium for over 50 years, Jane Jarvis greeting the New York Mets at Shea Stadium with their club song "Meet the Mets", Ernie Hays serenading a Busch Memorial Stadium crowd with "Here Comes the King", Nancy Bea as the organist for the Dodgers, Chicago favorite Nancy Faust urging Chicago White Sox fans to tell an opposing pitcher or a Pale Hose home run to "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" or Rick DePiro playing for Cleveland Indians games in the 1980s and known for his youth and controversy with songs like "If I Only Had A Brain" played often for the Umpires. During the 1990s, several teams replaced their organists entirely with recorded music and sound effects. However, many fans support organs at ballparks, believing it to be a traditional aspect of the game. As a result, several teams (notably the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates) have begun to feature organ music more prominently, and in 2009 the Atlanta Braves re-introduced an organist at Turner Field, even going so far as to promote his Twitter feed to take requests from fans.
The electronic organ, especially the Hammond B-3, has occupied a significant role in jazz ever since Jimmy Smith made it popular in the 1950s. It can function as a replacement for both piano and bass in the standard jazz combo.
|Regal||(after the 16th century)|
- Panpipes, pan flute, syrinx, and nai, etc., are considered as ancestor of the pipe organ.
- Aulos, an ancient double reed instrument with two pipes, is the origin of the word Hydr-aulis (water-aerophone).
- 3rd century BC - the Hydraulis, ancient Greek water-powered organ played by valves.
- 1st century (at least) - the Ptera and the Pteron, ancient Roman organ similar in appearance to the portative organs
- 2nd century - the Magrepha, ancient Hebrew organ of ten pipes played by a keyboard
- 9th century - the automatic flute player (and possibly automatic hydropowered organ), a mechanical organ by the Banū Mūsā brothers
- Portative organ, a small portable medieval instrument
- Positive organ, a somewhat larger though still portable instrument (occurs on an obelisk of the 4th century)
- Regal, a small portable late-medieval instrument with reed pipes and two bellows.
16th century - useless resonance pipes were removed, and regal became a beating-reed organ.
It may be seen as the ancestor of the harmonium and reed organs, and the varieties of 'squeezebox'
- Harmonium or parlor organ are a reed instrument, usually with many stops and two foot-operated bellows.
- The American reed organ is a foot bellow or electric reed keyboard similar to the Harmonium, but that works on negative pressure—i.e., it sucks air through the reeds.
- The Melodeon (not to be confused with the Diatonic button accordion of the same name) is a reed instrument with an air reservoir and a foot operated bellows. It was popular in the USA in the mid-19th century.
- Squeezeboxes—such as the accordion, concertina, Bandoneón, etc.—are free reed instruments that a musician plays by manually squeezing the bellows.
- Barrel organ—made famous by organ grinders in its portable form, the larger form often equipped with keyboards for human performance
- Organette—small, accordion-like instrument manufactured in New York in the late 1800s
- Novelty instruments or various types that operate on the same principles:
Orchestrion, fairground organ (or band organ in the USA), dutch street organ and Dance organ—these pipe organs use a piano roll player or other mechanical means instead of a keyboard to play a prepared song.
- Pan flute
- Mouth organs such as:
- Asian free reed instruments, such as the Chinese Sheng, Lusheng, Hulusi, Yu, Bawu, and Hulusheng, plus the Japanese Shō, Thai Khene, and Korean Saenghwang are known to be the inspiration for the western reed organ.

Two vicious attacks on Nigerian students
The Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office reports two attacks on students from Nigeria which the police are treating as attempted murder motivated by racial intolerance.
A 28-year-old student at the Kharkiv National Radio Electronic University is intensive care with knife injuries to the neck.
A few days earlier a 19-year-old student from the Poltava Agrarian Academy was hospitalized with knife wounds.
The investigators have ascertained that the injuries were inflicted by people unknown to the victim who during the late evening suddenly attacked the men with sharp items and fled.
Both men are in a serious condition. The attacks are being treated as racially motivated. | <urn:uuid:2302d54a-769b-49d9-aed8-e11d10a2c0dc> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://khpg.org/index.php?id=1337155789 | 2019-06-20T10:05:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999200.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620085246-20190620111246-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.979217 | 141 | [

The Dupuytren Research Group serves families affected by Dupuytren disease. Dupuytren disease is a chronic progressive genetic disease. It forms scar tissue inside the palm of the hand, slowly and permanently bending the fingers. Over ten million Americans, mostly seniors, have deformed hands from Dupuytren contracture. One quarter of Caucasian men over seventy years old have some evidence of the condition. Each year in the United States, surgeons perform over seventy thousand procedures for Dupuytren contracture. Unfortunately, although there are treatments, there is no cure, and deformities often return over time. Better treatments are desperately needed.
Progress in medical treatment of Dupuytren disease may also benefit those suffering with related conditions of Ledderhose disease, Peyronie disease and frozen shoulder. Additionally, insights into Dupuytren biology may advance progress in the treatment of unrelated diseases with parallel biology, including cardiovascular disease, fibrosis of the lung, and cirrhosis of the liver.
There are three reasons we don’t yet have a cure, but all three are at a tipping point of change. First, the technologies of new DNA tests and readily available secure online data collection are relatively new. Second, until now, no one has combined these technologies to try to solve this problem. Third, the biology is complicated. A large research study of DNA and other tests is needed. The overall cost of this type of study is about two million dollars. The Dupuytren Research Group’s International Dupuytren Data Bank has the technology, the organization and the ability to do the research to find a cure. Our fundraising efforts have enabled the process to begin, but we need funding to complete the job. Your charitable gift can make a difference right now.

After a much messing around I’ve finally begun to seriously consider the work for the next next book. A few chapters down and I will continue to plod on along with adding bits and pieces as I go. Not sure when I will finish but I will, there is however a large amount to do as this could stretch to two or three books, so with no clear boundary as yet I will be compiling everything and then edit down to suitable editions. BB K
Below are the PDFs for my current Second Life classes at the Witchfest sim. Although the texts are complete, please note that it is advisable to come along to the classes as I do tend to add a lot off-topic and will often go much deeper than these notes.

Client: P&G Old Spice
Old Spice came to Brazil and rescued the real Man Man.
We won the Pitch to launch Old Spice in Brazil with the concept 'Deodorant of Man Man'. Every brand activation turn the call for the return of the man Man - The Manhood (Homenidade). We create many digital and direct marketing activations to spread the message.
The website was an invitation to navigate through the seas of Manhood. This way, showing fragrances, videos and social channels. An interactive map in the shape of man biceps was the island.
Map details: Only places where men can navigate. Northern Courage, Cape of Self Confidence, Cemetery Brake Hand, Strait of football, and many others played with the territories of the "man man".
/OPEN. IF YOU'RE A MAN.
The concept was the starting point to delivering the first samples of the product. We create a jar that is almost impossible to open. Only the man can open. (See the photos posted by guys who received the jar)
We decided to display banners of Old Spice in online stores. NOT in the regular area of Hygiene / Beauty, but in categories like Grills, Tools and Electronics - the man areas. And we took advantage of the space related products (Who bought it, it smells like it.)
My role: Idea, Art direction, Digital Strategy.

With summer officially over, there’s no longer a reason to sacrifice savory sweets for a beach body. And because breakfast is the “the most important meal of the day,” morning-inspired munchies have found a home on Manhattan’s dessert menus–making waffles, crepes, and donuts twice as nice. Here are three options for you.
1. Waffle Breakfast at The Soft Serve Fruit Co
If dairy-free, gluten-free, fat-free, and cholesterol-free Soft Serve Fruit (simply made of fruit, filtered water, and organic cane sugar) sounds too healthy for dessert, have no fear. The choices here–including banana, apple, dark chocolate, and cranberry flavors–are a surefire way to sweeten the deal. Atop a hot Belgian waffle with maple syrup and choice of toppings (whipped cream, nuts, honey, carob, and chips, to name a few), there’s no reason to start or end the day on an empty stomach. ($5.75) 1371 Third Avenue (at 78th Street), 212-794-2200 and 25 East 17th Street (at Broadway), 212-675-0550
2. Famous Original Donut Ice Cream Sandwich at Holey Cream
M&Ms, Nutella, S’mores, PB cup, and–in true breakfast fashion–Fruit Loop hand-dipped donuts ($1.95 each) make this Hell’s Kitchen hole in the wall anything but an ordinary ice cream shop. With options ranging from Peanut Caramel Cookie Dough (all one flavor) to Pretzel (don’t worry, they have standard choices as well), there’s no denying the cash-only creamery’s custom specialty: the Ice Cream sandwich. In six easy steps (painted on the wall), diners build dream desserts by picking a donut flavor, dipping it in a vat of vanilla or chocolate icing, generously placing toppings, slicing the donut in half, packing three large scoops of ice cream… and finally indulging ($6.97 with regular ice cream; $7.57 with homemade flavors). Want to wear your PJs? Opt for breakfast in bed–they deliver! 796 Ninth Avenue (between 52st and 53nd Streets), 212-247-8400
3. Hazelnut Cream Banana Toffee Crepe at Max Brenner
It may be a French specialty, but the Chocoholic bald man knows that crepes–and breakfast goods in general–are best served for dessert. A syringe of chocolate ($5.39) will get anyone’s day off to an upbeat start, but among a full-sized sweets menu (fondue, chocolate pizza, cakes, and shakes), the crepe remains a sinful staple. The delicate, crispy, yet doughy dish with bananas (potassium), nuts (protein), caramel ice cream (milk), and chocolate (more milk), make the crave-worthy crepe ($13.95) the essential addition to a balanced breakfast (or late night nosh) for anyone with a sweet tooth. No cereal box toy for grabs here–but the chocolatier causing customers to feel like giddy kids? Almost guaranteed. 841 Broadway (between 13th and 14th Streets), 646-467-8803 | <urn:uuid:ceadcf34-7165-487c-9a1a-e5a8d2509816> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.villagevoice.com/2012/09/08/3-sugar-filled-breakfasts-summers-over-so-who-cares-about-being-healthy/ | 2019-06-26T02:04:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000044.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626013357-20190626035357-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.868183 | 701 | [

Kardashians and Jenners share slew of sexy photos from vacation in Costa Rica
The Kardashian/Jenner family is vacationing in Costa Rica right now, and you better believe they're showing off their lavish vacation on social media.
Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have been soaking up the sun in the picturesque country for days now. Also along for the ride? Kylie's boyfriend, Tyga, and his son, King Cairo, Kourtney's kids Mason, Penelope and Reign, as well as hairstylist Jen Atkin and makeup artist Ariel Tejada, among others. Snapchats also indicate that the stars are filming "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" on the trip, too.
Kylie and Kourtney in particular have been sharing an endless stream of photos from their various photo shoots on Instagram and Snapchat. Kylie has been rocking a handful of super sexy bathing suits, while Kourtney has been favoring some cute crop-tops for the family's nightly dinners.
Kim has only posted a few things on Snapchat, as she continues to tread lightly back into her social media activity following her robbery in Paris back in October.

Introduction to Penetration Testing
In the world of Cyber Security, there are obviously many technologies that one can use to fortify the lines of defense for their business or corporation. To a certain degree, depending upon how well these devices have been deployed and implemented, they should block any malicious traffic coming into your IT Infrastructure (such as malformed Data Packets, assuming that a combination of Firewalls, Network Intrusion Devices, and Routers are being used).
Then there are those tools that scan for any unseen vulnerabilities, or “holes” in your lines of defense. Examples of this include Port Scanners, Network Sniffing devices, etc. Keep in mind that no matter how sophisticated these tools are, they will not be able to detect everything.
A Definition of Penetration Testing
Thus, this is where the role of Penetration Testing comes in. With these types of exercises being conducted, your defense perimeters will be examined in great detail from both the internal and external environment. It is only through this kind of exhaustive testing that all hidden vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and holes will be unearthed.
But in order to carry out such an exhaustive task, you need highly qualified individuals to form what is known as a “Penetration Testing Team”. In this regard, Pen Testing team can be defined as follows:
“Penetration testing — also known as pen testing — views your network, application, device, and/or physical security through the eyes of both a malicious actor and an experienced cybersecurity expert to discover weaknesses and identify areas where your security posture needs improvement . . . it also simulates a real-world attack to determine how any defenses will fare and the possible magnitude of a breach.” (SOURCE 1)
A Review of The Penetration Testing Teams
In today’s world of Penetration Testing, there is no set method upon how the teams are actually organized. The number of actual Penetration Testers involved in a project will depend primarily upon key three factors:
1. The types of Penetration Tests that will be occurring;
2. The size of the business or corporation in question (this can be a direct function of employee size).
3. The complexity of the IT Infrastructure that is to be Penetration Tested.
For example, if the organization that wishes to have a Penetration Testing conducted upon its premises is a small one, with less than 20 employees, one can assume that the IT Infrastructure is relatively simple.
Thus, in this particular instance, a complete Penetration Testing team may not be needed. Rather, just two or three Pen Testers in order to execute and complete the required tests, and compile the report(s) which will summarize both the findings and recommendations.
In the next blog, we will examine how exactly the Penetration Teams are structured, and how your business can benefit from it.

About the Center for a New Economy
The Center for a New Economy (CNE) is an independent, non-partisan think-tank. Founded in 1998, it produces rigorous public policy research and analysis and is one of the most credible and influential voices in Puerto Rico and the United States on the island’s economy. Since 2014, CNE has been recognized as one of the Top Think-Tanks to Watch by the Global Think Tank Report produced by the University of Pennsylvania.
Seeking to mobilize US mainland resources to provide an emergency response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, CNE created the Puerto Rico Recovery Fund. The Fund seeks to provide relief for the people’s most immediate needs—food, water, clothing – while garnering resources for mid and long- term initiatives focused on ensuring a more productive and stable Puerto Rico. The Fund mobilized its first planeload of emergency supplies from the US into the island within a week of Maria’s destructive path. These supplies were distributed to affected non-profits in Puerto Rico within 24-hours of their arrival in the island.
With offices in San Juan and Washington DC, CNE will be a strong and compelling advocate in the US capital for the island’s recovery and reconstruction efforts. A highly credible purveyor of rigorous and independent research and policy thinking, CNE will focus its efforts in the nation’s capital on the need to mobilize a significant amount of federal resources towards a comprehensive recovery and rebuilding program for Puerto Rico.
CNE is particularly well placed to effectively contribute to Puerto Rico’s recovery and guide economic reconstruction efforts in the island. CNE possesses an ambitious portfolio of initiatives focused on helping resolve the Puerto Rico’s debt crisis and reestablish a path towards economic growth. The CNE Growth Commission for Puerto Rico, for example, is developing policy options conducive to jumpstarting the Puerto Rico economy.
CNE was among the first voices to alert - a decade ago - of Puerto Rico’s impending fiscal crisis. It produces continued updates on the fiscal and economic situation of the island and is actively involved in advocating for solutions to the Puerto Rico crisis in policy circles in the US.
CNE’s analysis are sought-out by officials in the US Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the White House, and the US Congress intent on receiving balanced expertise and policy counsel on Puerto Rico and finding bipartisan options to the island’s fiscal predicament. Its reports and analyses are regularly covered by media from the United States, Latin America, Europe and Asia and are cited by numerous academic and policy publications.
In 2006, CNE jointly published with the Brookings Institution in Washington DC, “The Economy of Puerto Rico: Restoring Growth”, an in-depth analysis of the economy of Puerto Rico that offered policy recommendations focused on restoring growth. The American Library Association selected the book as Notable Book that same year. | <urn:uuid:553c050d-f1b2-421b-b054-ceb5c6e977a3> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.puertoricorecoveryfund.com/about-cne/ | 2019-06-16T22:45:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998325.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616222856-20190617004856-00112.warc.gz | en | 0.927056 | 602 | [

Death toll rises in Orissa floods
Officials report that some 4.2 million people in Orissa have been affected by floods triggered by monsoon rains.
More than 500,000 people have been evacuated from the worst-hit areas.
The Mahanadi River has breached its banks in several places, sweeping away motorways. The floods have also ravaged the states of West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Assam.
The Repair and renovation of canals will be completed by the third week of October. Electricity supplies have not yet been restored in the central areas. The Government have planned the completion of the repairs for these breaches by November 15th.
Road links between the state capital of Bhubaneswar and many surrounding districts have been destroyed by the floods.
Indian army helicopters have been dropping food aid to people who remain stranded.
"In its dimension and sweep, the current flood in Orissa is comparable to the recent flood in Kosi River that caused havoc in Bihar," said a senior government spokesman.
This natural disaster "should be treated with the same urgency and seriousness", said Ajit Kumar Tripathy.
The authorities in Orissa have requested 15bn Rupees (£179m) in emergency assistance from central government in Delhi.
Water- borne diseases are on the increase following the flooding. The health department has been directed to provide health care in marooned villages to help prevent the outbreak of an epidemic. About 40 health teams have been created for this purpose.
Shelter remains a big issue. Polythene sheets have begun arriving and 120,000 have been supplied to the flood-affected people on Friday.
Prajnana Mission, our partner for emergency relief in Orissa, has organized doctors and volunteers to distribute drinking water, dry food packets and medical aid to those in need. The relief team is traveling to approximately three villages each day and distributing relief supplies and establishing health camps for medical care.
Funds are required for purchasing water, food, and medicines as well as for fuel costs. Many villagers’ cattle are dying from starvation.
Cattle feed is also essential to help save the livestock, and maintain the local economies.

It’s good to see you today for the 4th Lesson of our new course, that will help you get to 300 readers / blog article.
This time around, I will show you how the hashtags that you researched in the previous lesson will help you build up some amazing traffic by answering the right questions on Quora.
You know the No Talk. All Action motto of this new course you’re getting from Squirrly. Oh well, since not so many of you are familliar with Quora, it’s best that we have a bit of talk, so we can explain to you what Quora is all about. So that will be Chapter 1.
In Chapter 2 of this lesson, you’ll get to see exactly what you need to do to get at least a + of 30 new readers for each article you write.
If you’re already familiar with this Q and A platform, then just go ahead and skip to Chapter 2.
Otherwise, let’s begin explaining what Quora is. Ana Darstaru, one of our top-notch writers here at Squirrly presents it to you.
Chapter 1: Quora, the Q and A Community that’s built value-first, marketing later.
I did not know what Quora was, until I made an account and actually started using it for work. Basically, it is a Q&A website, where you can ask a question, and wait for someone to answer it. You must be curious how can this possibly help with your marketing strategy. You’re about to find out. This guide will show you step by step how to get familiar with it.
What about Quora?
Did you know that Quora is a startup that managed to get popular through growth hacking? Yes, that’s true. Co-founder, Adam D’Angelo, says that “More than a billion people use the internet yet only a tiny fraction contribute their knowledge to it“.
But it is not only a Q&A website, but a platform that makes sure that the questions get the most accurate answer, “from people with first hand experience”, as they say on their website. Whether you’re a marketer or not, it doesn’t matter. People want to have answers to almost anything.
How can you benefit from Quora
- Ask or answer questions. Your answers can be up voted, and so increase your chances to be trusted by others. If you see that someone asks a question that you have the answer to, don’t be afraid to leave a reply. For example, if your company offers content marketing services, leave the link to your website to someone that is looking for that. Quora also has the option to vote for someone’s answer, and it can help build reputation. The people that have the answers with the most votes, are more likely to be trusted. Also, keep in mind that you only get to answer a question once.
- Follow people and questions. If a certain influencer, or a person you admire professionally is active, you can keep track of their activity on Quora. People and encouraged to use their real name, and also write what they do, so you shouldn’t worry about fake identities. This way, it’s easier for you to figure out who are the thought leaders in your domain. Quora is a great place to meet, and network with professionals.
- Another cool feature is that you can choose who to answer the questions. If there’s a particular question that you want to be answered from a certain specialist, you can do that. Afterwards, there is a great possibility that you can establish some kind of connection with that person, so you can keep them close for whenever you may need their help again.
- You can promote questions, so they reach to as many people as possible. That way, there are higher chances that you will receive an answer from someone with expertise, or that your questions will be seen by many people than in general.
- Research. Content marketers, you’re in luck! When the writer’s block kicks in, you can always rely on Quora. It is a great tool for research. If you ran out of ideas for your blog, you can check out what’s trending here. Or simply ask a question about ideas. There are high chances that you will receive not one, but many answers. Then, you can use the article you wrote to respond to people that you have the solution to their problem. Research comes also in handy when you don’t know what keywords to use.
What not to do on Quora
If you only want to promote or sale your product, than this platform is not for you. People will figure that out. Instead, try and focus on building a relationship with people you’re genuinely interested in. Don’t go on and on only about you and your company.
Quora for me is like Google, but smarter, more specific, trustworthy and personal. Have you tried it so far? Let me know what are your thoughts on it.
continuing this here Lesson with:
Chapter 2: So, You Have the Answer to What Question?
Very important to keep in mind:
Quora is value-driven, so make sure you will not spam every possible question with your links. We are very AGAINST that type of behaviour.
Open up the excel file in which you researched the hashtags last time. We will be using that file a lot through-out this course.
Okay. This is the All-Action part of the lesson. Let’s begin learning the steps.
1) Your mindset. How this Makes Sense.
In order to make this tactic work well for your overall strategy of getting 300 readers / blog article:
You need to think of Questions for each article you write from now on:
a) The Type A question.
You have the blog article written already. You need to find on Quora some questions that you can answer yourself (post 80 to 250 words) and then write the link to your article.
What on earth?
Yes, you heard me right. Quora is value-driven, so don’t post just links. You will have to write some really valuable answers and only then post the link to your blog article where you explain your answer in more depth.
If readers from Quora find your answer to be valuable, then they WILL CLICK your link and continue reading on your own site. This is very important to keep in mind, otherwise this method will NOT work for you and it will ruin your image.
b) The Type B Question.
As I said, for each article you write you need to think of two types of questions.
Type B is a question that does NOT already exist on Quora, so you will have to think about it and then place it as a question on the platform.
You need to think of a question that you can place on Quora and then come and answer it with your own article.
Basically, you post the question and you already have the perfect answer for it.
That will make people really love your answer and they will definitely click to go to your website.
2) For an article that you already have, prepare 2 Type A questions and 2 Type B questions.
DO it right now.
3) GO to Quora. Searching for topics that will give you a lot of questions where you can place your answers and find lots of Type A Questions
Alright. Go to your Hashtags Research File.
Select one of the topics (hashtags).
You can see that I selected #crowdfunding
Then, go to Quora.com and search for your hashtag, like I did (in my case, crowdfunding)
There you will see a huge list of questions. Find the best ones where you could place your blog article as an answer to those questions that you see in the list.
That’s it. Now read the secret tactic to get more out of this method. (below)
Super-Secret Tactic to get more Readers out of Quora and Type B Questions.
Use their “Ask People To Answer” feature.
You will ask a lot of people from Quora to answer your type B question.This will increase the visibility of your question amongst quora users (a lot). When you receive the first answer for your question, go on and publish the answer your prepared along with the link to your site.
It will seem very natural for everyone, you will contribute to the community and you will have a lot of visibility. Since there will be about 3 answers and 200 people viewing the question, clicks will follow.
That’s all for today. Go on and grow your readership for each article you write from now on.
Here’s the benchmark box to show you how far along you are.
Read the next emails you’ll get in your inbox. They will help you figure out how well you’re doing so far. Then, the next ones will help you reach the final milestone. There’s a lot more to do on your Journey.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Police are searching for a man possibly connected to a couple of purse snatchings in Central Fresno.
Investigators said a man allegedly stole a woman's purse from her cart at a Save Mart near Cedar and Ashlan Avenues. Officers then tracked the suspect to a home near Palm and Sierra Avenues after matching his car's registration.
However, investigators are still trying to determine if the suspect lives there.
On Friday, a man with the same description committed a similar crime at the Save Mart near Bullard and West Avenues.

Expensify - Salesforce Tie-In?
I’ve been using Expensify for a week. Seems pretty good so far. Our company is adopting salesforce at the moment.
I am on a trip right now meeting with donors of our magazine, and I also was down here meeting with a business partner. Let’s say 50% of the costs of the trip are business partner related and the other 50% are donor related.
My question: Is there a way that I can I have my costs automatically be sent to SF on a trip like this and half will be allocated to donors and half will be allocated to business partner so that SF can track how much I’m spending on each? | <urn:uuid:68842a5e-44a4-4d87-872d-9a79aa2be590> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://community.expensify.com/discussion/4095/expensify-salesforce-tie-in | 2019-06-20T13:54:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999218.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620125520-20190620151520-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.941116 | 148 | [

Five different presentations at the European League Against Rheumatism Annual Congress (EULAR 2014) have introduced new patient empowerment and educational initiatives, which are predicted to bring significant benefits to the many thousands of patients worldwide who suffer from a rheumatic disease.
These initiatives include:
- A new model of patient care involving self-monitoring and patient initiated follow-up1
- An online learning resource to prepare patients and carers to actively engage in research, guideline development, advocacy and media activities2
- A new patient decision aid to better inform and involve patients in treatment choices3
- Video guides providing advice on living with a rheumatic disease4
- Patient Group support for patients wanting to become involved in guideline development and political committees5
Self-monitoring and patient-initiated follow-up reduces costs of treating patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis with no deterioration in outcomes
Following a brief period of training, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) receiving methotrexate were able to understand and interpret their blood test results. Using this information, along with reports of their symptoms and side effects, they were then able to initiate appropriate treatment reviews with their rheumatology nurse.1 At the end of the trial period participants in the intervention group had just over half the number of appointments with their rheumatology nurse specialist than those receiving usual care (p<0.0001). Levels of pain, fatigue, ESR, CRP and disease activity did not differ between groups (p>0.05).
According to lead author Ms. Hayley McBain of the School of Health Sciences, City University London, "this new model of care offers a viable alternative for established RA and PsA patients receiving disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. It also has a positive impact in terms of reducing healthcare utilisation, with no detrimental effect on health outcomes," Ms. McBain added.
Online programme proven to successfully empower European patients with chronic medical conditions
Evaluation of a new free online course has shown that it is meeting its aim to enable and empower patients to advocate for themselves and others to shape future healthcare policy. The European Patient Ambassador Programme (EPAP) aims to provide patients with self-advocacy skills over six modules* to help them shape future healthcare policy. Out of 251 patients with chronic diseases, including arthritis/rheumatism, who had completed the EPAP, 80% felt they understood how decisions about healthcare were made, and 87% felt confident to interact with professionals, policy makers and the media.2
Ms Monica Fletcher, Chair of the European Lung Foundation (ELF) who developed the programme, explains why this new programme is needed, "as more people live longer with chronic conditions, such as arthritis and rheumatism, it is essential that they become involved in healthcare to help improve the patient's experience, identify patient priorities, reduce burden on services, and advance research."
ELF, who developed EPAP (http://www.
New patient decision aid meets need to better inform and involve patients in treatment choices
Patients using a new Patient Decision Aid (PtDA) designed to educate them about DMARDs perceived that the PtDA was helpful in the decision-making process, allowing them to take a more active role in decision-making, and felt the final choice of medication to be more consistent with their personal values.3
According to Ms. Ingrid Nota of the Department of Psychology, Health and Technology, University of Twente, Netherlands, "our PtDA can be a valuable aid in improving patient participation in medical decision-making about anti-rheumatic drugs. We developed this new tool in response to research among Dutch arthritis patients, which showed a need for quality improvement in information provision about treatments, and a patient desire to be more involved in decision-making."
Arthritis patients who were facing the decision to initiate a (different) DMARD were invited to participate in the study. In the first year, patients received a questionnaire four weeks after consulting the rheumatologist (control group, n=158). In the second year, patients were referred to use the PtDA and also received a questionnaire 4 weeks after consulting the rheumatologist (intervention group, n=123).
The PtDA was used by 57% of respondents in the intervention group. Users rated the PtDA as useful, easy to use and easy to understand. Of the patients who had used the tool, most stated that the PtDA contained new information (70%), that they learned a lot from it (71%), that it helped them to get insight into their preferences, worries, doubts and questions (70%), that it helped them discuss things with their rheumatologist (60%), and to make a decision about their medication (70%).
Compared to the control group, patients in the intervention group perceived a more active role in decision-making (p=0.01) and perceived the final choice to be more consistent with their personal values (p=0.02). No effects were found on satisfaction with the decision process, trust in physician, beliefs about medication, or adherence to medication. This project was financially supported by the Dutch Arthritis Association.
Video guides launched to help rheumatic disease patients live a better life
The Institute of Rheumatology in Warsaw, Poland has created a series of video-guides for people with rheumatic diseases and their relatives to provide simple tips and advice on how to make life with one of these conditions easier.4
Using the World Arthritis Day 2013 slogan "Living better, ageing well", these educational videos consist of five films: Kitchen of the rheumatic person, Bathroom for the rheumatic person, rheumatic person out shopping, rheumatic person on the stairs and rheumatic person in the car.
Speaking today at EULAR 2014, Ms. Jolanta Grygielska from the Department of Epidemiology And Health Promotion of Rheumatic Diseases at the Institute said, "minimising disability is the most important objective for people living with rheumatic diseases. Adaptation of the rheumatic patient's environment to suit their needs and abilities is very important to reduce the impact on their quality of life.
"Video-guides are an easy and useful tool for health promotion, a good way to communicate with people with rheumatic disease, and to help them cope with the problems of everyday life," Ms. Grygielska explained.
The videos are available on YouTube and through links on the website of the Institute, on the websites of rheumatic disease patient organisations, and on the website maintained by Institute for Polish patients http://www.
German Rheumatology Patient Group supports patients' involvement in guideline development and political committees
Patient representatives with rheumatic diseases are actively taking part in guideline development and sitting on different political committees, helped by support from the patient organisation German League Against Rheumatism, the Deutsche Rheuma-Liga.5
Dr. Cornelia Sander, representing the Deutsche Rheuma-Liga based in Bonn, Germany said "we have set up a process to support and guide motivated patient representatives who want to bring the patient perspective to the table, and influence the health care system in favour of the patient. When they sit on healthcare related political committees, they will have to face professionals from the health care system and insurance companies," Dr. Sander explained.
In order to support those interested in working as a patient representative, or those already playing this role, the Deutsche Rheuma-Liga offers a 'work description' along with everything a patient representative would need to know, introductory workshops, ongoing research support and, where possible, provides a staff member to accompany new representatives to their first meeting.
"Despite the success of this initiative, we still need to find new ways to recruit younger people with rheumatic diseases as patient representatives, who may have less time to become involved in volunteer work," Dr. Sander concluded.

Tario Fuller rushed for 142 yards and one TD in 44-21 victory
WEST LAFAYETTE – Trick plays, an opportunistic and swarming defense and an impressive spurt to end the first half.
And an energized Ross-Ade Stadium for the first time in a long time.
Jeff Brohm has made Purdue football fun again. Go back and watch Friday night’s 44-21 victory over Ohio.
Five takeaways from the win, which improved the Boilermakers’ record at 1-1 heading into next week’s matchup at Missouri.
• The quarterback doesn’t seem to matter in Brohm’s offense. Both Elijah Sindelar and David Blough were on target, completing a combined 15 of 23 for 293 yards and four touchdowns and no turnovers. Rotating quarterbacks will probably continue, and that’s OK if the performance remains the same.
Sindelar was a victim of four dropped passes in the first half but didn’t get rattled by the lack of focus from the receivers. Blough benefitted from creative play-calling by Brohm – the second-quarter trick play was executed perfectly, ending with Blough hitting tight end Cole Herdman on a 61-yard touchdown - leading Purdue to 24 consecutive points in the final 7:04 before halftime. Brohm stayed with Blough, who had the hot hand – hitting 10 of his first 11 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns as the Boilermakers built a big lead.
• The commitment to a running game paid dividends. Purdue’s running backs totaled 14 carries in last week’s loss to Louisville. With 7:48 left until halftime, Tario Fuller, D.J. Knox and Brian Lankford-Johnson had combined for 14 carries. Fuller had the big night, gaining over 100 yards in the first half, including his first career touchdown, as the offensive line took a step forward after last week. Fuller finished with 142 yards on 16 carries.
PURDUE 44, OHIO 21: Tario Fuller dreams it, then achieves it against Ohio
PURDUE FOOTBALL: Grading the Boilermakers
BOILERMAKERS ROLL PAST OHIO: How They Scored
• The defense generated more turnovers. Two more forced fumbles in the first half, bringing the season total to five after two games. Plus, the defense stymied Ohio’s rushing attack in the first half, forcing the Bobcats into the uncomfortable position of relying on their passing game. What was discussed during training camp – relentless pursuit – is showing up early in the season as linebacker T.J. McCollum played well for the second straight week.
• We all were curious how the Boilermakers would respond after last week’s solid showing against Louisville. Now, that’s solid by Purdue standards. Among the things this program has lacked was stringing together back-to-back worthy performances. In the first two weeks, you’re seeing Brohm’s influence take hold. The Boilermakers came out with the same energy and effort they had against the Cardinals and proceeded to overwhelm the Bobcats, who are now 0-8 against Purdue.
• The fans responded. What they witnessed against Louisville and the enthusiasm over Brohm’s hire was demonstrated at the ticket window. The announced crowded of 45,633 was boosted by 13,143 tickets sold since Sunday. The student section was nearly packed and the energy of a Friday night game – thanks to the new permanent lights - helped create an atmosphere inside Ross-Ade Stadium we haven’t seen in years. | <urn:uuid:93c95437-5056-43f0-901d-64fcc13f6878> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.jconline.com/story/sports/college/purdue/football/2017/09/08/second-quarter-spurt-leads-purdue-football-past-ohio/644025001/ | 2019-06-20T13:28:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999218.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620125520-20190620151520-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.964361 | 762 | [

Twenty-five-year-old Alek Minassian is allegedly responsible for an attack in north Toronto that killed 10 people and injured 15 others, according to police.
The Richmond Hill, ON resident was arrested 26 minutes after police received the first 911 call about pedestrians being mowed down by a van and Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders said that “It’s very clear from a general perspective that the actions were deliberate.”
Pictured below, Minassian who is listed on his LinkedIn profile as a college student from 2011-2018.
Saunders wouldn’t call the attack terrorism but also said that investigators were not ruling it out. Minassian ran down pedestrians on purpose, Saunders said.
Below, a map of where the attack took place.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale called the attack horrendous, and said it was not related to national security. He previously said there is no information indicating that the Canada’s terrorism threat level should be raised.

To survive as a scullery maid requires hard work, discipline, and a stiff upper lip. To survive as a Demon Hunter is something else entirely. Elizabeth Smythe learned this after she was captured by Demons and rescued by Hunters. Now a Hunter herself, Elizabeth’s first task in this new and strange world is to aid the recently wounded Lord Reece Foxjohn, and get him back into Demon-slaying shape. . .
Reece Foxjohn is used to defying convention. He enraged his family by becoming a Demon Hunter, and prefers eviscerating the spawn of Satan to mixing with the ton. He is a man who doesn’t hesitate when he knows what he wants, and what he wants is Miss Elizabeth Smythe. From the moment he set eyes on the fiery Hunter, he’s wanted to claim her for his own. To watch her behead the progeny of Evil is to behold a thing of beauty.

Below Edinburgh Castle, Elizabeth Smyth and Reece Foxjohn turned into the corridor to the head demon hunter’s office. She had to keep her wits through one short meeting.
Relaxed as always, Reece stopped mid-stride and gripped her shoulder. “Stop fidgeting, Lizzy. He’s not going to bite you.”
In spite of the cool autumn night, Drake Cullum’s order to report to his office had set her palms to sweating. Indeed, it happened every time she stepped into a room with him. “You don’t understand. How could you? Drake is all that stands between me and the street. If he decides I failed my training, I will have no place to go.”
“But that is not going to happen. We came to Edinburgh for a wedding, not a job evaluation. This meeting is just a formality because we are in town.” Shoulders straight, but not rigid, he held her gaze, his steady blue eyes perfectly framed by dark blond hair loose from its queue.
“Maybe.” She fought the urge to grip her sword hilt through the pocket cut in her skirt.
“Absolutely. Now take a breath and stop acting like a scullery maid. You are a demon hunter.” A grin spread across his angular face and he leaned against the wall.
It sounded so wonderful coming from him. Reece held legendary status among The Company. Even during his long recuperation from a demon’s poison, students would sneak by his sickroom to catch a glimpse of him. She’d volunteered to carry his meals and pick up the trays just to get to know him. Still, she wasn’t sure she’d seen the real Reece in all that time. After pushing away from the wall, he walked around her and knocked.
Drake Cullum occupied the lone chair in the book-lined room. He remained sitting when they entered, his eyes narrowed on an ornate knife resting atop the fine wood desk.
Determined to be brave, Elizabeth straightened her spine and stepped closer. The memory of the dagger threw her back to a musty church. She saw the strange tri-bladed dagger gripped by a bull-faced demon. Her vision narrowed to the point of the blade as it descended toward her throat. Her heart stopped. “What is that doing here?” Part of her wanted to run, but rage kept her glued to the spot.
Drake raised an eyebrow. “Do you recognize it, Elizabeth?”
“That’s the dagger they were going to kill me with. I’ll never forget it or the beast who wielded it.” The room closed in around her as the memories assailed her. Demons dragged her into the old church and strapped her to an altar. The stench of death filled the space. The durgot priest’s hot breath turned her stomach. His bull face only inches from hers with no way for her to run. Bindings cut into her wrists. The monster snorted long guttural words, and a chorus of demons repeated. She’d not known what his words meant, but they rang in her dreams every night. The dark metal dagger hovered above her throat. She was going to die by the hands of a devil. There would be no paradise for her soul. Damnation.
Demons screamed in agony as their flesh boiled. Steel clashed with steel and a feminine battle cry. The building crashed around her and in her hazy mind, hell swallowed her.
Drake spread a piece of fabric on top of the knife. “I apologize, Elizabeth. It did not occur to me that you remembered the events of your capture so clearly. I believed you were catatonic throughout the ceremony.”
With his hand on her elbow, Reece steadied her.
“I remember.” She took a breath and met her boss’s gaze. “I’m sorry for my outburst, Mr. Cullum. It surprised me to find the artifact here in plain sight. To be honest, I did not realize The Company had recovered the item.”
“Skane,” Drake said. “I beg your pardon?”
“It is the Blade of Skane. At least that is what it says along the hilt.”
Fear blasted her confidence and became her greatest enemy. She removed the black cloth and examined the knife. “Where did it come from?”
“We assume the demons brought it with them.” | <urn:uuid:0d79a7ed-8f2d-4c3a-914b-dfe25d00888c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://asfenichel.com/books/the-demon-hunters-series/betrayal/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-06-26T06:41:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000175.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626053719-20190626075719-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.976815 | 1,237 | [

Psalm 98 Stanza 2 - Celebrate
4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; 5 make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, 6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn— shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
Psalm 98 Stanza 3 – Look Forward to the Future
7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. 8 Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; 9 let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

“Export or die,” Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso recently warned his country’s industries. And jewelers are heeding his words.
Like their counterparts in the fashion industry, fine-jewelry designers and manufacturers in Brazil are making great strides toward their ultimate goal: a spot in the international jewelry marketplace.
Though competition is great, the Brazilians have several advantages: They are doing their homework and producing well-made and innovative designs.
Traditionally a self-sufficient market—for jewelry and most other industries—Brazil has been moving for several years toward becoming an international player. Three years ago, the government began encouraging consortiums—groups of manufacturers interested in exporting—and last year began offering money to these groups.
“They are providing financial support to improve technical skills, marketing, and other things among jewelers,” says Sergio D’Auria, a member of Rio Design Group, an export consortium. “What we are hoping to do is sell the concept of jewels from Brazil.”
Though a new idea, it’s no surprise from a country that has long supplied precious gems to the world. Combined with a ravenous appetite for life—characterized by the spirit of Carnivale and a native passion for jewelry—Brazilian jewelers seem to be on the verge of something big … and they’re taking it seriously.
Jewelers are looking for more than just hype on the international scene. The Brazilian fashion industry has made significant inroads that provide evidence of the abundant creativity native to Brazil—the country’s “fashion week,” for example, has joined those of Milan, Paris, and New York as a major global fashion event—and now jewelers are building a sound infrastructure for their industry.
In Rio de Janeiro, for example, a local university has started an MBA program for jewelry design. The first class—18 students—graduated last year after studying jewelry history, gemology, the manufacturing process, drawing technique, and computer design. The goal: to create an educated and well-rounded base of jewelry designers and manufacturers who understand the relationship of jewelry and fashion as well as jewelry’s appeal among consumers. “Our idea now is to focus on the design process,” says Claudio Magalhaes, coordinator of the design program. “Our goal is not to forget goldsmith work, but to create a concept.”
Working with retailers is part of the training these designers undergo. “We want to create a new synergy between designers and retailers,” says D’Auria.
Similarly, the industry in the state of Minas Gerais emphasizes education for jewelry designers and manufacturers. Four years ago, local schools and universities began developing gem and jewelry design courses. Though perhaps behind in global distribution, Brazilians are nonetheless advanced in understanding jewelry’s role as an accessory.
“Jewelry is becoming as fashionable as clothes, even though it is a luxury product,” says São Paulo furniture designer Fernando Campana, who along with his brother was recently commissioned to design a new jewelry collection for H. Stern. “Young people are also closer to jewelry now, despite the prices, and that is probably because of fashion.”
Many designers stress the importance of paying close attention to international fashion and creating collections that reflect color and style trends. It is also common for jewelry designers to have studied fashion. Freelance designer Patricia Correa of Minas Gerais says all design has a foundation in fine arts. “I started studying fashion, which changed my jewelry design,” she says. “It’s all a process of creation that is far-reaching.”
Even as the world has been introduced to Brazilian style, international style has been imported at an increasing rate into Brazil. In jewelry, that has meant exposure to Italian and German designs that Brazilians first imitated but now integrate into their own jewelry. “Design here has been growing because imports started coming in and threatening our [native] industry,” says designer Carlos Henrique Reis. “In just five years, Brazilians have gained access to international fashion brands without having to leave the country,” says Jacques Rodrigues Junior, a Belo Horizonte jeweler.
Brazilian consumers generally wear more jewelry—and larger, more colorful pieces—than their American counterparts. This phenomenon is based partly on the country’s diverse population, whose ethnic groups, including Native Americans, Africans, and Portuguese, share a traditional fascination with precious adornments. It also derives partly from the country’s natural beauty and resources. Although Brazilian designers understand foreign markets and are working to adapt their designs to serve those markets, the designs retain a distinctly Brazilian feel—fashionable, colorful, and sensual.
Brazilian designers feel less constrained by American and European “traditional” ideas about jewelry. In the country that’s home to the Amazon rain forest and Minas Gerais gemstone mines, jewelers frequently work with unusual materials—especially varieties of wood—in combination with precious stones.
Pepe Torras, a native of Spain and 40-year resident of Brazil, is one such designer. His collection of hand-finished wood with 18k gold and Brazilian stones is an innovative salute to the country’s natural resources. He uses and combines 14 different colors of wood, and his work is recognized around the world. Torras regularly holds exhibitions in various countries.
Though faced with challenges—including export taxes that jewelers are lobbying to change—Brazil is poised for international exposure. While consortiums regularly exhibit at major trade fairs like The JCK Show ~ Las Vegas, smaller designers frequently say they are hoping to find agents interested in distributing their jewelry abroad. The Americans who have discovered Brazilian jewelry, meanwhile, call it one of the jewelry world’s best-kept secrets. | <urn:uuid:18fe6d8c-c65e-4095-b3ca-35562a2a050e> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.jckonline.com/magazine-article/brazilian-designers-find-their-place-in-the-world/ | 2019-06-26T06:42:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000175.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626053719-20190626075719-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.962564 | 1,228 | [

The student forum train just keeps on rolling here at Wesleying. Since this definitely isn’t the first time I’ve felt like you could have a pretty wide-spanning education just on student forums (seriously: look at the master list), isn’t it about time someone hopped on raising the credit limit? Anyway. By the power of Hannah Cressy ’13, I give you FGSS420:
Birth is the largest healthcare cost in America, and the reason that most of us have already been hospitalized at least once. Most of us will either make a baby or watch it happen during the next twenty years, yet most people remain uneducated on this nearly ubiquitous experience until they or their partners become pregnant. This student forum will provide a space for examination of the history and politics of childbirth in America through a feminist/anthropological lens, with a focus on the medicalization of the birth process and its differing effects on populations according to race, class, location, language, disability, criminality, ethnicity, and sexuality, among other intersectional factors. The class will meet once per week, and provide 1 credit in FGSS. Many documentaries, discussions, potlucks and field trips await!
Informational meeting: FRIDAY, JANUARY 25th at 4 PM in Espwesso Cafe.
Contact Hannah Cressy ’13 (hcressy@wes) or Kelsey Henry ’15 (khenry@wes) for more information.

Tension in Venezuela is growing by the minute, as the July 30th election to vote on President Maduro’s proposed Constituent Assembly to rewrite the country’s constitution nears. At this point, only Maduro and his band of loyal followers believe this is a good idea. Pressure to call off the elections is coming from all sides. From Trump imposing sanctions on 13 senior Venezuelan officials this week and threatening to impose economic sanctions (bad idea) on Venezuela if the government went ahead with the assembly, to Delta and Avianca suspending their flights to Venezuela, to the Venezuelan opposition having called for a 48-hour general strike on Wednesday, the country is on the brink, with the international community watching.
The only countries Maduro can turn to for support are those he subsidizes. And while they can protect him from the OAS, they can’t do much to stop U.S. sanctions or the sanctions of other countries should they decide to step up. Maduro is faced with a tough decision: will he crack under pressure? Or will he ignore the threats and go ahead with his Constituent Assembly? All our questions will be answered on Sunday.

|Title:||Defining service quality in tramp shipping : conceptual model and empirical evidence||Authors:||Tay, Wei Jun
Thai, Vinh V
|Keywords:||DRNTU::Engineering::Maritime studies||Issue Date:||2014||Source:||Thai, V. V., Tay, W. J., Tan, R., & Lai, A. (2014). Defining Service Quality in Tramp Shipping: Conceptual Model and Empirical Evidence. The Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics, 30(1), 1-29.||Series/Report no.:||The Asian journal of shipping and logistics||Abstract:||Tramp shipping constitutes a prominent segment of the shipping market. As customers increasingly seek value from service providers for low price but yet high quality services, there is a pressing need to understand critically what construe the service quality for the tramp sector. In this respect, however, no prior research has been conducted for this market segment. This study recognises the gap in the existing maritime literature and aimed to propose and validate a service quality (SQ) model to address such a gap. The study employs a triangulation approach, utilising literature review, interviews and surveys to develop, refine and verify the SQ model proposed. Interviews were conducted with various parties in the tramp sector while a survey using a sample size of 343 tramp shippers and 254 tramp service providers was also conducted with tramp shippers and tramp service providers. It was revealed that the SQ model of six dimensions of Corporate Image, Customer Focus, Management, Outcomes, Personnel and Technical, and their 18 associated attributes could be used as a reliable tool to measure service quality in tramp shipping. This research contributes to fill the gap in the existing literature by introducing and validating a new SQ model specifically for tramp shipping. Meanwhile, the model can also be used by practitioners to receive their customers’ evaluation of their service quality as well as a benchmarking tool for continuous improvement. This study is, however, confined to a small-sized data collected in Singapore and to the bulk commodity context. Further studies on the practicality of the SQ model involving larger sample size and in other regions and for the general and specialized cargoes would be required to enhance its reliability.||URI:||https://hdl.handle.net/10356/103381

What You Need To Know:
Anti-Christian worldview with pagan & moral elements, set in a small Southern town; 20 obscenities & 9 profanities, some mild; woman commits suicide by shooting herself in the head, woman cuts finger & images of dried blood; two scenes of implied fornication & past adultery revealed; upper male nudity; alcohol use & drunkenness; and, stealing, "Christian" woman covers up suicide & fails to reveal truth when man charged with murder, unintentional negative stereotypes of African-Americans, intentional negative stereotypes of white Southerners, especially of woman active in her Presbyterian Christian church, & mild but offensive joke in bar about Good Friday.
He’s Got Those Anti-Christian Blues
Acclaimed director Robert Altman’s movies have always seemed to contain a shallow core. Although he often displays an extremely deft hand with his actors, getting magical performances even from such actors as Elliott Gould, his characters and stories often seem contrived and hollow, filled with slight, sometimes even offensive, messages. This was most evident in his portrayal of Major Frank Burns in the movie M*A*S*H, whose Christian prayer was mocked by the heroes in the movie and who was eventually revealed as a religious hypocrite who commits adultery, then goes crazy. It was also evident in his over-rated, back-handed homage to Country & Western music, NASHVILLE, a forgettable example of artistic pretentiousness.
Altman returns to an anti-Christian worldview in the movie, COOKIE’S FORTUNE. Glenn Close plays Camille Dixon, a prideful, conniving “Christian” whose one prayer in the movie totally contradicts the nefarious actions she commits in the rest of the movie. The prayer comes out of nowhere and seems to be merely an opportunity for Altman to display his anti-Christian bigotry.
The slowly evolving plot in this movie concerns Camille’s attempt to wrest her Aunt Cookie’s fortune away from her sister’s daughter, Emma, a young ne’er do well named Emma, played by the young Liv Tyler. Aunt Cookie commits suicide because she dreadfully misses her late husband. Camille is the first to arrive at the scene and, with her pliant sister Cora’s help, makes the suicide look like murder, because “respectable people don’t commit suicide, only crazy people do.”
Regrettably, Camille’s actions help pin the faked crime on a middle-aged black man named Willis, played by Charles S. Dutton in a fine performance. Willis is a long-time family friend and lives in Aunt Cookie’s guest house. Willis helped clean Cookie’s gun collection, an inheritance from her late husband, so his fingerprints point to him as the natural suspect. Eventually, the comical police investigation unearths family secrets having to do with race and adultery, unmasks small-town loyalties and rivalries, and unravels the fate of Cookie’s fortune.
Since the reprobate Camille is the only character who does any religious activity tied directly to Christianity (a bedtime prayer naming Jesus), the anti-Christian implications of Altman’s worldview in this movie become clear, as they did in M*A*S*H. Lending weight to this is the fact that Camille seems to be the only one who does not care about anyone else, only herself. Even the docile Cora, who seems to have resigned herself to being under Camille’s thumb, displays empathy for other people. Thus, the whole movie seems carefully, if subtly, contrived to offend Christians. It’s a planned set-up from start to finish. The fact that it’s subtly done makes it that much more insidious and offensive.
Ironically, COOKIE’S FORTUNE also seems to include unintentional negative stereotypes of the African Americans in the small town, all of whom congregate in a small, seedy-looking blues bar, even though the outside investigator who comes to help the local police is himself black. It will be interesting to see if media critics will pick up on this aspect.
Consequently, despite some charming moments, COOKIE’S FORTUNE deserves the lowest possible acceptability rating we can give it. Quality-wise, it is only a fairly interesting Altman movie that fails to measure up to his best works, such as THE LONG GOODBYE or THE PLAYER.

What just happened? Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new battery membrane technology that could lead to low-cost batteries with long lifecycles – perfect for storing renewable energy in large quantities.
As Berkeley Lab highlights, the utility industry is keen on using giant batteries called flow batteries to store electricity in tanks of liquid electrolyte. The problem is that current implementations aren’t exactly cost efficient. The Lab’s new technology could solve those shortcomings.
The membrane, derived from a group of polymers known as AquaPIMs (short for aqueous-compatible polymers of intrinsic microporosity), is the part of the battery that separates the anode from the cathode. AquaPIMs are appealing because they can enable low-cost batteries based on readily available materials like iron, zinc and water.
The team even developed a model that estimates a battery’s performance with a given membrane, potentially allowing scientists to predict the efficiency and lifetime of a flow battery without having to build out a full-scale example.
Brett Helms, a principal investigator in the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR) and staff scientist at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry who led the study, said you’d typically have to wait weeks or even months to learn how long a battery will last. Using their new membrane screen, that time can be cut down to just hours or days.
Those interested in collaborating with Berkeley Lab or licensing the technology are encouraged to reach out to the school’s intellectual property office.

‘Women of the Year’ issues have become all the rage toward the end of 2017. First, Glamour produced its multi-cover edition and now British Harper’s Bazaar is following suit. For the December issue, Bazaar delivers three striking covers for us to deliberate over. Actresses Ruth Negga, Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster help the magazine close out 2017 on a high, while each competing for best cover on our forums.
“Wow, what a nice surprise! They’re not known to do multi-covers, and promote their ‘Women of the Year’ like this. Great move! I’ll be getting Ruth’s cover, but I must say the Jodie one looks rather special as well. Overall all three covers are splendid,” applauded tFS forum member Benn98 upon seeing the covers.
“Ruth is glowing. Fantastic cover,” admired mistress_f.
Also quick to give their seal of approval was [Piece Of Me]: “Ruth looks absolutely smashing and it’s such a festive cover as well, perfect for Christmas.”
“Kate’s cover is so strong,” noted forum member narcyza, showing Kate’s cover some love.
“My subscription hasn’t even arrived and I’ll already be keeping an eye out for that Kate Winslet cover over this weekend! For me, it just perfectly encapsulates the festive season and I love the choice of the profile cover image for British Harper’s Bazaar. Fabulous!” declared vogue28.
Liberty33r1b liked the look of Kate’s cover too. “Kate looks fantastic!” she simply expressed.
“Jodie for sure,” Nymphaea voiced.
“Jodie’s cover is my favorite,” echoed Lausanne.
Overall, Bazaar has produced a trio of terrific covers.

The latest Nintendo Direct brings with it tons of new games and game updates
RIP my wallet.
I don’t think anyone was prepared for the full spectrum of the latest Nintendo Direct, which was only advertised as having Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Pokémon Sword & Shield news. There was as much happening in 40 minutes as an entire E3 presentation. I watched it all and took diligent notes, so here’s everything to look forward to.
If you’d like to watch the video for yourself, here’s that too.
Watch the full September Nintendo Direct presentation here
If you don’t feel like watching the full 40-minute Direct, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered:
Nintendo is bringing back some (new) classics
Luigi’s Mansion 3 showed off a few new areas, which are all expansive zones inside the hotel and include the Tomb Suites (a giant pyramid), The Dance Hall (do I need to explain what a dance hall is?), and The Spectral Catch (a pirate-themed restaurant). They also showed off a new multiplayer party mode: Scream Park, which pits a team of Luigis against a team of Gooigis. Luigi’s Mansion 3 comes out on October 31st.
There’s a new “free to start” Kirby game on Nintendo Switch called Super Kirby Clash where you take a team of four Kirbys on over 100 missions. Collect gear, customize your squad, and play single-player, local co-op, wireless co-op, or online co-op. Super Kirby Clash is available literally right now.
Trials of Mana, the HD remake of the third title in the Secret of Mana series, has a release date now: April 24th, 2020. Level up your characters to learn new jobs, choose between Light and Dark paths for aesthetic and mechanical differences, and customize your squad of three for full-range-of-movement combat this spring.
Little Town Hero shared the spotlight during the Nintendo Direct event
A little bit of new information was released regarding Little Town Hero, the new turn-based RPG by Game Freak, the team behind Pokémon. In Little Town Hero, your ideas are your weapons – which I truthfully don’t understand, because one of the ideas shown off was “Punch” and “your ideas are your weapons” just sounds like first-year philosophy rebranding.
That said, the soundtrack is by Toby Fox, the creator of cult-favorite Undertale, and that sounds great to me. Little Town Hero is coming out October 16th and preorders are up now.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons had some news and refreshers to share
- Your NookPhone is your connection to recipes, furniture, and tools
- You can gather basic materials without tools – sticks by shaking trees, small stones by picking them up
- You can use basic materials to make tools for gathering better materials – an axe to get wood and a pickaxe to get stone
- Timmy Nook has been indoctrinated into the capitalist dynasty and is the one to buy from and sell to you
- Classic activities like fishing, catching bugs, and planting flowers are back
- There are new tools like an adorable Leaf Umbrella and a vaulting pole to cross rivers
- Up to four players can play together on one system and up to eight can play together via wireless or online multiplayer
- There’s a photo mode and yes, it has filters
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is coming out on March 20th, 2020.
Also, as expected, Overwatch is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 15th and features, at the very least, motion-assist aiming. Nothing else was said, because I actually feel like “Overwatch is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 15th” is sufficient here.
- No Straight Roads is a music-based action game about a duo fighting to save rock and roll
- Biped is the next co-op game that will test your relationship – PAX West 2019

Godsmack fans are pretty damn dedicated. At a Memphis show in May, floods, tornado-caliber winds, and, ironically, Osama bin Laden caused a show that neither Godsmack nor its fans will ever forget. The stage was flooded, tornado sirens were wailing, and thousands of fans had mud up to their ankles all day. "A makeshift stage was created from literally 200 pieces of plywood," Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin says. "Then, right when we started our second song, 'War and Peace' — a total power blackout. In short, we played the whole show with no lights and just sound, because the fans deserve it."
And the forge-ahead-no-matter-what mentality was appropriate for what happened next: "If none of that drama happened, we would've been playing when the news came in that bin Laden was killed," Larkin says. "Our tour manager informed [vocalist] Sully, who announced, 'We got fucking bin Laden! America, we stand alone!' And thousands were chanting that. I'll never forget that moment in my life."
But Godsmack is no stranger to dramatic discourse. Since 1995, the band has been cranking out hits with minimal promotion. With influences like Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, and Rush, Godsmack's music seethes with dark, layered riffs, commanding lyrics, and immense yet nimble percussion. They've performed on Ozzfest, toured with such legends as Metallica and Black Sabbath, and their instrumental track "Vampires" earned the band its first of several Grammy nominations. Their live shows are filled with gothic undertones and a shitload of pyrotechnics, making them an appropriate headliner at the Mayhem Festival.
Godsmack is scheduled to perform Friday, July 15, at Ashley Furniture HomeStore Pavilion.

"This is a heavy tour. We will be playing a lot of favorites from our albums, along with a drum solo where Sully comes out and plays the giant double-toms," says Larkin, who got his first drum kit at age 8 after his sister repeatedly made him listen to Rush's Hemispheres and Led Zeppelin. Known for his work with Wrathchild America and Ugly Kid Joe, Larkin has been in Godsmack since their third CD, Faceless.
Godsmack's fifth and most recent album, 2010's The Oracle, contains some of the heaviest tracks they've written. And the band members are only picking up speed: Larkin, guitarist Tony Rombola, and bassist Robbie Merrill are all involved in Another Animal and Ugly Kid Joe (both currently recording in the studio), and Sully's 2010 debut solo album, Avalon, has been well-received.
While Godsmack's repertoire is a mix of extreme energy and power, their range of interests is something to keep an eye on. From Sully's Avalon, which is full of tribal rhythms and bluesy vocals, to some of Larkin's new drumming muses ("Chris Adler and Jamie Miller") or his current musical obsession ("Beady Eye, baby"), Godsmack seems poised for a new trajectory.
"Godsmack will get together around next spring to plan our next move, and Another Animal is going to record in the fall while Sully's touring," Larkin says. "Who wants to take a break? We're all on the other side of 40. We want to enjoy every second we have on this planet to write." | <urn:uuid:ff16f164-4fc6-48ad-a744-6c6f19daf193> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/music/godsmacks-shannon-larkin-on-mayhem-in-memphis-drum-solos-and-new-directions-6449657 | 2020-08-08T06:25:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737289.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808051116-20200808081116-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.967274 | 783 | [

A night chef is generally responsible to handle the late in the day hours, for example to set up a midnight buffet if the hotel or eatery has one. It is generally meant to offer the community an interesting meal option for a late adventure. The skill sets for a night chef job is similar to a regular chef, with culinary mastery, organizational expertise, and professional work ethics being on the fore front. Such a job profile is ideal for those who have another occupation through the day and wish to fuel their passion for food and desire to learn in the night.
Considering the vast arena London traverses in terms of its food variety, landing up on good night chef vacancies is neither difficult nor hard to find. A lot of good restaurants and hotels sport a menu for night catchers and if you are someone who would like to try their hand at serving their taste buds, you must not give this a miss.

Cameron Fleming is set to leave New England for Dallas.
Fleming, an offensive tackle who has played his entire four-year career with the Patriots, is expected to sign with the Cowboys, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
A 2014 fourth-round pick of the Patriots, Fleming started six games for the Patriots last year in the regular season, and was also a starter in both the AFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl.
Last year the Cowboys struggled mightily when starting left tackle Tyron Smith was injured, and improving the depth at offensive tackle was a priority. Now they’ve done just that. | <urn:uuid:f755eae9-351d-44d6-bfa7-f2e0dafe12e8> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/24/cowboys-expected-to-sign-cameron-fleming/ | 2020-08-09T20:54:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738573.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809192123-20200809222123-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.981375 | 126 | [

Since America’s founding, we have served as a safe harbor for countless generations of immigrants, offering the ability to work hard and pursue the American Dream. As a city, Phoenix encapsulates this tradition. Our community has enjoyed contributions from generations of immigrants as business owners, educators, and civic leaders. In recent years, Phoenix has also served as a home to thousands of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients. In fact, with 21,420 DACA recipients calling Phoenix home, we rank seventh in the nation for largest DACA population. These individuals are working hard and pursuing their dreams.
However, decisions at the federal level have jeopardized the future of our Dreamers. Over two years ago, the Trump administration rescinded the DACA program, despite the benefits the program and all that its recipients have brought our city and nation.
Since that decision, Dreamers have been caught in a seemingly endless game of legal limbo. Court injunctions have temporarily allowed protections to remain in place, but the future is uncertain. On November 12th, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the legality of the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the program.
Our city and our nation are stronger when we embrace our diversity. We are also more economically robust. If DACA workers in Arizona were removed, it would cost our state over $1.3 billion in annual GDP. We would also lose their contribution to federal, state, and local taxes.
Dreamers are our students, teachers, neighbors, friends, and family. They are fellow Arizonans and fellow Americans.
Phoenix remains committed to our Dreamers which is why we, along with 108 other cities, counties, and organizations, signed onto an amicus brief supporting our nation’s DACA recipients and objecting to the elimination of the program.
While we will do everything in our power here in Phoenix to protect our neighbors, ultimately permanent protections can only come from Washington. Instead of leaving DACA recipients in limbo at the mercy of the courts, Congress must pass a legislative solution.
Nearly nine in 10 Americans support protecting Dreamers. To abandon our DACA recipients now, in spite of who they are and everything they contribute, is to abandon so much of what has made our city, our state, and our country what it is.

Every year, millions of Americans dutifully line up at their local pharmacy to receive their annual flu vaccine. In contrast to many diseases, the flu gets its own season and countless public health warnings on local television or via targeted advertisements. What makes the flu so special, and why is it the only disease that we have to get vaccinated against every year? After all, the flu is not the deadliest disease, nor the most common, and yet the flu vaccine asks millions of Americans to confront their fear of needles every year. The answers to these questions tell an interesting story of the history of influenza outbreaks and the unique challenges the flu poses for molecular biologists and immunologists attempting to combat it and other diseases.
To understand the challenges of vaccinating against influenza, it’s important to know that the flu isn’t just a particularly severe cold. Many different viruses can cause what we call the common cold. However, the flu is caused by a specific pathogen called influenza virus. When someone gets sick from the flu, their infection has progressed far enough to experience disease symptoms. In other words, you can get infected with influenza without actually getting the flu, which has important consequences for how public health officials design responses to the disease. Mild symptoms of the flu can be similar to the common cold, but more severe infections can have serious health effects and kills tens of thousands of people every year. As a result, public health officials invest huge amounts of time and resources each year to reduce the flu’s impact on society.
At a general level, influenza falls into the category of vaccine-preventable diseases, meaning a person can receive a flu vaccine and then reasonably expect to have a lower risk of getting the flu. An astounding number of lives have been saved since the discovery of vaccines, and pathogens such as measles, whooping cough, and smallpox have been dramatically reduced or completely eradicated from our planet. For many individuals under the age of 40, vaccinations were administered well before we could have had any say in the matter, or really, before we had the ability to say anything at all. The approach of childhood vaccination has worked impressively well. Previously lethal pathogens have virtually vanished from the developed world. All this to say, influenza has a unique place in both infectious diseases and public health that changes how it impacts our lives compared to other vaccine preventable diseases.
Provoking immune responses
Understanding why we receive the vaccine for the flu, but not other diseases, annually, first requires familiarity with how vaccines work. When a person is infected with a disease and then recovers, the immune system kicks into gear to prevent future infections. One way the immune system does this is by developing antibodies, which are small proteins that stick to the surface of the virus or bacterium that caused the disease. If a person gets reinfected with the same pathogen, those antibodies can bind to the pathogen, neutralizing it and halting an infection before it progresses to disease. Critically, these neutralizing antibodies only stick to small, specific parts on a pathogen, called antigens. In most cases, using these molecular calling cards is sufficient for the immune system to prevent infections after it has seen a pathogen once.
You can imagine the relationship between the immune system and pathogens as being similar to the way you begin to remember new acquaintances. When you meet someone for the first time, you likely won’t remember their eye color, but might make mental note of particularly distinctive features, like if they had bright pink highlights in their hair. An antigen serves as the metaphorical pink highlights on a pathogen, allowing the immune system to recognize it more easily if it appears in the future.
Vaccines coax our immune system into producing neutralizing antibodies even in the absence of an infection. Simply exposing the immune system to the right subset of antigens allows it to develop antibodies that will protect against a whole pathogen. These antigens can come from a weakened pathogen incapable of causing disease, which is called a live-attenuated vaccine, or by mixing together key pieces of a pathogen, referred to as a subunit vaccine. Both of these methods expose the immune system to antigens and allow it to develop the proper protective antibodies without causing disease. To continue our analogy, it’s as if a friend tells you to keep an eye out for a person with pink hair because they’re planning on stealing your wallet. Even if you have never met this pink-haired person, you have enough identifying information to protect your wallet if they ever show up.
One of the technical challenges of vaccine development is determining exactly what parts of a pathogen to include in a vaccine, and whether they will generate the correct immune response. Arthur Reingold, a professor of epidemiology at UC Berkeley, has spent his career studying vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States and developing countries. He points out, “you can make antibodies [using a vaccine], but they might not protect you clinically if they’re not against the antigens that count.” Thus, vaccine manufacturers must not only ask whether they are producing antibodies against a pathogen, but they also need to know if they’re invoking antibodies specific to the right antigens. The process of choosing the correct targets can be challenging, but the payoff is the opportunity to save millions of lives by stopping infections before they progress to disease.
Tracking a moving antigenic target
These principles of vaccine design are well and good for some pathogens, such as tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, which are vaccinated against during the standard course of childhood shots. As a result, these diseases have become historical footnotes, rather than the major public health threat that influenza still poses. One difficulty with influenza, and with many other diseases for which there aren’t vaccines, lies in the specific interactions between a person’s antibodies and the antigens on the pathogen.
Antibodies can only protect against a pathogen if the antigen it initially saw is present during subsequent infections. If that antigen changes, previously developed antibodies are either less effective or completely ineffective at recognizing a pathogen and preventing infection. It’s as if, after your friend notifies you about the serial pickpocket in the neighborhood, you start keeping an eye out for someone with pink hair. You then notice a person with purple hair, politely acknowledge them and internally admire their hair color, before suddenly realizing that your wallet is gone. This failure demonstrates one of the challenges of the immune system’s antigen-antibody strategy: picking one, or even a few, identifying features of a pathogen is only useful if that feature does not change over time.
Influenza virus is particularly good at changing its antigens quickly, which makes vaccine design especially challenging. Professor Jesse Bloom, an associate professor of microbiology at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center, studies how genetic variation in influenza virus influences its interactions with the human immune system. He points out that one of the major antigens recognized by the immune system picks up about three changes every year, which he describes as “an extraordinarily high rate, compared to the rate of evolution of most other proteins that we study.” For your immune system, this rate of change means that even if you get infected with the flu and develop a very strong antibody response, those antibodies lose their effectiveness within a few years “simply because the [antigens] that are recognized by the antibodies have changed quite a bit.” The annual influenza vaccine is an attempt to update your immune system as the virus evolves, so it produces antibodies that bind to the altered antigens on the circulating influenza virus.
A major reason that influenza is capable of changing its antigens so quickly is that its genetic code is stored in RNA, rather than DNA. Human cells encode genetic information as double-stranded DNA, which stores information fairly reliably, since the two strands essentially serve as copies of each other. In contrast, the influenza genome is made up of single-stranded RNA. RNA is inherently less stable than DNA, but more importantly, its single strand means that mistakes while copying the flu genome are permanent, and no duplicate exists to correct the mistake. As a result, errors in the genome accumulate rapidly, which in turn changes the antigens produced by influenza virus.
One infected cell can produce hundreds of viruses, each of which has slight genetic differences from other viruses in the cell. This leads to what Bloom calls a “cloud” of very closely related, but genetically unique, viruses. Even if the majority of those viruses cannot grow or infect another cell, a small portion of them will survive with their new mutations. As the virus undergoes cycles of infection and release from hundreds of cells within the body, the cloud of viruses will slowly drift, moving away from the original virus that could be recognized by an antibody. Reingold describes drift as a “gradual accumulation of genetic changes, such that the antibodies or the immunity, whether naturally acquired or vaccine induced, may no longer protect against the strain that’s circulating.” This drift continues as the virus passes from person to person, and your odds of getting the flu again progressively increase as your antibodies become less effective at sticking to the virus.
In order to better understand antigen drift in influenza virus, Bloom’s research group intentionally mutates collections of viruses and examines how they grow in response to different conditions. For example, they can add an antibody to their population of viruses, which prevents antibody-bound viruses from replicating, and then measure what mutations allowed the virus to escape the antibody. In this way, Bloom’s lab can “measure the effect of each of these viral mutations on a property, such as antibody recognition,” and then “build up a sense of which mutations will be of consequence in helping the virus escape from immunity.” A related aspect of the lab’s work uses influenza viruses taken from human patients and measures how the virus changes during a single person’s infection in response to the immune system. By combining these two sets of data, the lab is able to examine a broad range of antigen mutations and compare those with the types of changes that are actually occurring around the globe.
Bloom’s research has revealed a great deal about the processes that drive gradual change in influenza virus. However, influenza also has the capacity to suddenly alter its antigens using a process different from genetic drift. Aside from the viruses that cause disease in humans, there are many other influenza viruses that circulate in animals. Pigs, birds, and horses each have their own influenza viruses. These viruses tend to remain infectious to a single species, with bird viruses infecting birds and pig viruses infecting pigs. However, human viruses can occasionally exchange large chunks of genetic information with bird or pig viruses when a person comes into contact with an infected animal. This exchange changes the antigens on a virus, resulting in an antigenic “shift,” in contrast to the regular antigenic drift. Reingold describes genetic shifts as a “dramatic change in the antigens that are on the surface of the flu virus, as opposed to a gradual evolution.” For humans, genetic shifts mean that most of the population no longer has antibodies that protect against the virus, greatly increasing the chances of infection and disease. Therefore, even the best-designed seasonal vaccine is very unlikely to provide any protection against a flu virus that shifts, since the antigens on the virus change so much.
Research on influenza shift and drift teaches us how the virus changes to avoid the immune system, but transitioning from an annual vaccine to a one-time vaccine will require the immune system to produce antibodies that bind all influenza viruses. Antibodies against an unchanging, or universal, antigen would hypothetically protect a person from every influenza virus year after year, even as other parts of the virus change. In fact, universal antibodies for influenza have been discovered, but scientists haven’t quite worked out how to translate that knowledge to a new vaccine. Bloom explains that researchers have “found antibodies that can recognize essentially all strains of influenza A virus, which is the most common type of flu causing human disease, and these antibodies have actually been isolated from infected humans. They’re very rare, but it shows that they can exist and they can be made.” One of the current challenges is then finding a way to stimulate production of these antibodies in all people—and at a high enough level to prevent an infection with influenza from progressing to disease. Undoubtedly, developing a universal vaccine will be a difficult process, but Reingold comments that, “If somebody figures that out … it’ll be a major public health victory. It may never happen, but we’re certainly working on that. Smart people are working on it.” Until that breakthrough, scientists continue to hunt for a deeper understanding of influenza virus and the way the immune system protects against disease.
Antibody anomalies in dengue virus
Another challenge with the flu is that, even after identifying universal antigens on the pathogen and finding a way to generate potent antibodies, complications may still arise from the human immune system itself. To understand these complications, we turn to a different viral pathogen, dengue virus, which has vexed immunologists for decades even though its antigens rarely change. It is similar to influenza virus in that it is a single-stranded RNA virus, but the two viruses diverge rapidly after that. Influenza spreads directly from person to person, but dengue must be transmitted via mosquito bite to spread to an uninfected person. While influenza has virus types A and B, dengue virus has four different serotypes numbered 1 through 4, that are genetically separate from each other. Dr. Dustin Glasner studied dengue virus with UC Berkeley Professor Eva Harris during his doctoral work and says that while the four serotypes are closely related, “you can think of them like four siblings of the virus.” The disease that people get after infection is initially the same with all four serotypes.
Much like other diseases for which effective vaccines exist, when a person gets infected with one serotype of dengue, the immune system develops antibodies against viral antigens. After this primary infection, a person is theoretically protected for life against disease caused by that dengue serotype. The complexities in designing a vaccine lie with the differences between dengue serotypes. To the immune system and its antibodies, these sibling viruses look somewhat similar, but not exactly the same. When a person gets infected with a different serotype of dengue, the relatedness in antigens means that antibodies against Dengue 1 can bind to antigens on Dengue 2, but they don’t bind tightly enough to block a Dengue 2 infection and are therefore called non-neutralizing antibodies.
Non-neutralizing antibodies have a significant impact on the disease caused by dengue virus—not only because they don’t stop a person from getting sick again, but they also increase the chance of developing an even worse disease. As Glasner describes, these antibodies “won’t clear a secondary dengue infection of the same serotype but will still bind to that virus and can facilitate entry into cells,” making it more difficult for the immune system to respond than if there hadn’t been any antibodies at all. These antibodies that enhance the symptoms of dengue virus present a huge challenge when thinking about vaccine design because the disease caused by a secondary infection is much more severe than a primary infection. In a sense, the immune system has a two-strike policy against dengue virus, where the first infection is rarely lethal, but the second infection has a much higher chance of causing severe disease. As a result, vaccine design against dengue virus needs to avoid swinging and missing, since an imperfect vaccine could put people at much greater risk of dying from a dengue infection.
The lessons from dengue indicate that even if a universal influenza antigen is discovered, there are still nuances in the human immune system that must be understood before it can be safely deployed. Researchers will need to consider how the immune system responds after repeated exposures to different strains of influenza—ideally at both the cellular and population-wide levels. Nonetheless, continued research on influenza virus, dengue virus, and other infectious diseases will help flesh out our understanding of pathogens and the concomitant immune response.
One flu over the chicken’s nest
With all that is known about influenza, combined with researchers’ ability to measure how it changes over time, you might wonder why companies don’t simply update the vaccine as it changes. Outside of the science itself, a number of other factors contribute to making the flu a particularly complex public health problem. To start, about nine months before the flu season begins, a panel of public health officials meet and decide what types of flu to include in the vaccine. They gather as much information about the circulating virus as they can, but they can only make an educated guess as to how the virus will change by the time the next winter arrives. That information gets sent to vaccine manufacturers, who then must grow enormous quantities of influenza virus. For the past seventy years, the strategy for producing massive quantities of virus has been to infect chicken eggs with influenza and then extract the virus from the eggs after they have grown. This procedure adds several wrinkles to the already-challenging process of influenza vaccines.
The first challenge is a question of scale. Reingold explains that “it takes about one egg to make one dose of vaccine. So if you want 100 million doses, you need 100 million eggs.” For each year’s vaccine, companies need to obtain 100 million eggs, inject 100 million eggs with virus, and crack 100 million eggs to get more virus out of them. All of these steps need to proceed under sterile conditions because contamination would have severe consequences once the vaccine is injected into people.
The second problem lies in using the egg as a medium for growing viruses. Human influenza viruses are not very far removed from bird viruses. According to Reingold, “If the influenza virus against which we want to make a vaccine in hen’s eggs kills the eggs, then you cannot propagate it and produce the required amount of virus to make a vaccine.” To get around the problem, scientists might genetically manipulate the virus so it doesn’t kill the eggs. However, influenza’s capacity to rapidly mutate means that the virus might naturally evolve to adapt to conditions in the chicken egg. Such change may lead to a virus that “is not a good antigenic match for the virus that is circulating and causing disease, in which case you can end up making a vaccine that is not very protective against the strain that is circulating,” says Reingold. Theoretically, modern technology should allow us to grow the virus outside of eggs, but a combination of the costs associated with switching over and the regulatory barriers to using new technology has made the transition process slow.
The cycle carries on
Overall, production of the annual flu vaccine is lengthy and complicated. The entire process, from scientists first picking the viruses to the vaccine ending up in a clinic, takes about nine or ten months and requires participation from multiple different public and private organizations. It demands millions of dollars of investment from governments and pharmaceutical companies, and at the end of the day, its design is simply a very educated guess. On top of that, the flu keeps changing, so as soon as one year’s cycle has finished, the process starts all over again with a new attempt to predict how the virus will drift.
Ultimately, all the work is worth it, as the annual influenza vaccine protects millions of people from disease, but we must still return to the clinic every year to renew our protection with a vaccine that only works some of the time. Reingold acknowledges the frustrating situation, explaining, “most vaccines we use commonly have efficacies in the range of 80-95 percent … but flu vaccines are typically down in the 40-60 percent range. That’s not very good! And we need to give them every year! So if you say, ‘Is that a good vaccine?’ the answer is ‘No!’” Even if it’s not ideal, the flu vaccine is the best solution available at the moment, and it is far better than nothing at all.
Some sunny day in the future you might be able to visit your doctor for one final shot containing a universal influenza vaccine. With every passing year, we understand a little bit more about the flu and get a little bit closer to a solution. In the meantime, scientists carry on the struggle to vaccinate against influenza, as it ceaselessly changes and outmaneuvers our immune system.
As for what makes the flu so special? Perhaps it’s not its ability to change antigens readily or the breadth of organisms in which it grows, but rather, it’s special just because it’s a problem we haven’t solved yet. Once we do, one hopes that influenza will join smallpox and diphtheria in the footnotes of infectious disease history.

You hated the stories, now buy the synopsis.
It's a great looking package with text in a formal script, with issue covers and panels placed as if they are photos glued into an album but, let's face it, the whole thing covers those wretched stories from the Final Chapter to the explosion of Mary Jane's plane. (Shouldn't that crash make it just "Peter's Spider-Man Scrapbook"?)
It'll take you about as long to read all the text as it took to read all the original issues. Unfortunately, it's also all the same stories.
Oh, hey, just what I need. A text-heavy regurgitation of the worst year for the Spider-books ever! No webs.
OK, I admit it. I didn't even read the thing.

EUR/USD failed to hold gains above the 1.1350 level and declined below 1.1320. USD/CHF surged higher and broke the key 1.0020 resistance level to move into an uptrend.
Important Takeaways for EUR/USD and USD/CHF
- The Euro topped above the 1.1400 pivot level and declined heavily against the US Dollar.
- Recently, there was a break below a contracting triangle with support at 1.1320 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD.
- USD/CHF broke the key 1.0015 and 1.0020 resistance levels to set the pace for more gains.
- There is a major bullish trend line formed with support at 1.0020 on the hourly chart.
EUR/USD Technical Analysis
After spiking above the 1.1400 resistance level, the Euro faced a strong selling interest against the US Dollar. The EUR/USD pair started a fresh decline and broke the 1.1380 and 1.1350 support levels.
The decline was strong as the pair even broke the 1.1320 support level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. Before the drop, there was a consolidation pattern formed above the 1.1320 support level. However, buyers failed to protect more losses and the price extended declines below 1.1300.
There was a break below a contracting triangle with support at 1.1320 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD. The pair gained pace below 1.1300 and traded as low as 1.1289 on FXOpen.
Later, there was a minor upside correction and the pair moved above the 1.1300 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.1338 high to 1.1289 low. However, the pair struggled to break the 1.1308 level.
It seems like the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.1338 high to 1.1289 low acted as a resistance. On the upside, there is a strong resistance formed near the 1.1325 and the 50 hourly simple moving average.
Therefore, if the pair corrects higher, it is likely to face sellers near the 1.1310 and 1.1325 resistance levels. On the downside, a break below the 1.1289 low could push the pair towards the 1.1280 and 1.1260 support levels in the near term.
USD/CHF Technical Analysis
The US Dollar formed a solid support above the 0.9960 level and later climbed higher against the Swiss franc. The USD/CHF pair broke the 0.9980 and 0.9990 resistance levels to move into a positive zone.
The upward move was strong as there was a break above the key 1.0015 and 1.0020 resistance levels. There was even a close above the 1.0020 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. The pair recently broke the 1.0040 level and traded as high as 1.0054 before correcting lower.
It traded below the 1.0040 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.9996 low to 1.0054 high.
However, the decline was protected by the 1.0035 level and the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.9996 low to 1.0054 high. To the downside, there is a major bullish trend line formed with support at 1.0020 on the hourly chart.
The trend line is close to the previous resistance at 1.0020. Therefore, if there is a downside correction, the 1.0020 level is likely to act as a strong support.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near 1.0055, above which USD/CHF could accelerate towards the 1.0080 level in the coming sessions. | <urn:uuid:2f976669-3b1f-4e97-9b8d-54f963f5d590> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.actionforex.com/contributors/technical-analysis/178644-eur-usd-and-usd-chf-us-dollar-bulls-in-control/ | 2020-08-15T02:12:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740423.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815005453-20200815035453-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.936652 | 819 | [

I’m in the process of finalizing my decision on lifting my 2020 AT4 with BDS as well. They do show a link on their site for the 2.5 as well as the 4”. I’ve also spoken to them and they are both available for the AT4 and TB. I want to go with the 2.5 for a total of 4” over the 4” for a total of 6. With the 2.5 they say you can fit 35’s, I’m sure with some trimming. There’s a 20 Chevy in town with a 4” BDS and 35’s and it loooks perfect to me
Hey guys! I’ve got a 20 AT4 and want to raise her up and fit some bigger wheels and tires underneath. Starting to shy away from just a level, and don’t want a huge lift like a 6”. Found on the BDS site they have a specific 2.5” lift kit fir the AT4/TB that will net you a total of 4.5. Does anyone out there have this kit and could give an assessment of it? BDS already comes with a great reputation. Anyone with this or even a Non AT4 with a 4” lift that have some pics they want to share would be greatly appreciated as well TIA! Jim
I’ve got the BakFlip MX4 on my 20 AT4. It looks awesome and very well made. Takes a little adjusting to get just right but fits mine great and the auto tail gate works just fine. If you go this route, I’d suggest going by a parts store and getting a better automotive grade rubber weather strip for the front edge. The foam type that comes with it is kinda cheap. Jim
I ordered the same decal , only the one for a window with the sliding middle. Mine came so tightly rolled up and creased that many of the stars were already folded onto themselves. Couldn’t get it to lay flat so I ripped it all off in frustration. Would love to have it own but won’t be ordering it from them again. Plan on seeing if a local print shop can do one for me.
I’ve got the MX4 on my 20 AT4. I didn’t use the front seal that came with the cover. Instead picked up an automotive grade rubber ribbed weatherstrip from Lowe’s. Took a few extra minutes to adjust the MX4 to where the power tail gate still operates. Mine stays pretty dry and dust free as is.

While he dazzled on the field and contributed a skillful try to the Indigenous Allstars’ campaign on Saturday night, it’s the off field impact Newcatsle Knight Dane Gagai is most proud about when it comes to his representation in the side.
The blockbuster game, which featured some of the highest profile names in rugby league, was the culmination of a week filled with community visits, workshops and a leadership camp that all aimed to strengthen relationships between Indigenous and non Indigenous communities.
“The experience was unbelievable,” Gagai told Knights TV on his return to the Club.
“We had a good bunch of boys in the playing group.
“It was just a great week to be a part of.”
The World All Stars emerged 12-8 winners at Suncorp Stadium, but a proud Gagai was far from fixated on the result of the match.
“I’m not disappointed. It would have been nice to bring back the shield, but I think the effort we showed and the passion both teams showed on the night was unbelievable,” he said.
“I can’t thank (coach) Wanye (Bennett) and the World All Stars enough for the competitiveness that came from that team, it made for a great game.
“Throughout the week everyone was unbelievable.”
The Mackay born Knight is intensely passionate about his culture and was proud to see players in the World All Stars side engaging in meaningful conversations about Indigenous issues.
“I saw big Tom Burgess speaking about the Indigenous culture and how he was learning things,” he said.
“To hear from someone that’s not from here and talking about it, trying to help raise awareness and motivate people to strive to be better was a great thing to see.
“At the back end of that, we had 37,000 people turn up to the game so I don’t think it should even be in question whether this should keep going.
“I believe this game is beneficial, because unless you’re out there seeing what we’re doing for the community with the All Stars, It’s just a great concept.”
One of the special moments of the week for the explosive outside back was a visit to Stradbroke Island for a two-day leadership camp.
“Just listening to some of the stories about Aboriginal culture and how they used to hunt, it was mind-blowing,” he said.
“Now we have all this technology to pick up on weather and the time of the season, but obviously thousands of years ago, they didn’t have that, they just knew.
“The instinctive survival and hearing the stories was mind-blowing for me.” | <urn:uuid:06cd4e82-f550-40b4-80f4-eedf37e9a757> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.newcastleknights.com.au/news/2016/02/16/gagais-indigenous-all-stars-pride/ | 2020-08-05T04:59:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735909.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805035535-20200805065535-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.972198 | 592 | [

Home made beer (kalja or kotikalja) is made of rye malts and it’s very low on alcohol. It’s usually consumed with dinner or lunch, and often served at special occasions like weddings or other parties. It’s easy to make, I think I should make it more often. I make the beer in a 5 liter bucket, and the recipe on the malt package is too big for my bucket, but here’s a recipe for a smaller batch.
3,75 l water
2,25 dl beer malts
1,5 dl sugar
0,5 tsp yeast or 0,25 tsp dry yeast
Bring the water to boil. Mix malts and sugar in a bucket and pour the boiling water on them. Allow to cool lukewarm. Add the yeast and loosely cover the bucket with lid (or towel). Allow to ferment 12-24 hours in room temperature. Filter (with cheesecloth) and bottle and take the bottles to fridge or cellar. Beer is ready next day.
When your beer is filtered, you’ll have about 5 dl malt mash in your sieve. Use it for bread baking, or freeze for later use. | <urn:uuid:4f6d8b6c-0566-49fc-832a-c1eace5fca71> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://elitefood.wordpress.com/category/drink/ | 2020-08-06T18:35:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737019.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806180859-20200806210859-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.918215 | 254 | [

Nine weeks. Nine weeks at home.
I filled up my gas tank last Friday for the first time since quarantine began. Weird. I’ve been IN an actual grocery store five times in the last two months. Again, weird.
My son has left our neighborhood four times, my daughter five in nine weeks — for driveway/patio visit with grandparents and one doctor appointment before the stay at home order was issued.
We are officially in Phase 1, but what does that even mean? The virus hasn’t gone anywhere. It just means we have to make smart choices. We have to look at our decisions from all possible angles.
It means that things aren’t really changing at our house. I think the ONLY thing that will be different in the coming weeks is that we’ll allow our kids to play with a neighbor or two…outside only. And I’ll meet up with a couple friends for a driveway date – six feet apart, of course. Outside is where it’s at. I’m in no rush to go shopping at a store, no rush to hang out inside with large groups of people.
It’s a struggle to navigate this. We’re all going to have to decide for ourselves what we are comfortable with, and it’s going to be different for each family.
What’s coming? Will there be camps in July? Will I be comfortable sending my kids? Will our neighborhood pool open? Can I hug my mom and not have anxiety over it?
Who knows? In the meantime, we just keep on, keeping on. There’s about a month left of school left and I will NOT be sad when virtual learning takes a break. (Let’s be honest, there will be some next year.) Mother’s Day was a bit different this year. But I read a book and we managed a quick family hike (before Em fell). Plus I got to see my mama. That’s always a win! | <urn:uuid:12c694bf-3d6b-4bbf-9067-7640ee818cb4> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://aparentingproduction.com/2020/05/quarantine-week-9-im-going-a-little-crazy.html | 2020-08-10T01:47:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738603.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810012015-20200810042015-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.949379 | 422 | [

Tara just cant seem to get a break. She lost Maryann (Thank Goodness!) and her boyfriend Eggs. The True Blood star Rutina Wesley says.
“I’m sure she’s going to have some grieving to do, losing Maryann and Eggs—the love of her life, I think,” Rutina theorized. “I don’t know how Tara is really going to react to that. I see some grief. I see some more darkness.”
What else could possibly happen to Tara. Fans of the books I think are pretty much at a loss. We dont know whats going to happen next anymore because Alan Ball has tweaked the story line a bit.
Even though Maryann was absolutely horrible, she was Tara’s mother figure, through out all of season two. That’s going to take toll on the poor girl. Hopefully Tara will pull through this, with the help of her best friend Sookie Stackhouse. Maybe she will get a new boyfriend? Jason Stackhouse is available (Wink, Wink). But who really knows Were just going to have to wait and see!

CHAPTER 7 RENEWAL, REPLACEMENT, TERMINATION AND TRANSFER OF GUARDIANSHIP
RENEWAL OF GUARDIANSHIP
7.1 The default period of guardianship is 3 years although the sheriff has discretion to extend this period (including an indefinite period) or reduce it. The Act provides for renewals of guardianship when the approved period is coming to an end.
7.2 Section 60 of the Act provides that at any time before the end of a period in respect of which a guardianship order has been made or renewed, an application may be made to the sheriff under this section by the guardian for the renewal of such order, and where such an application is made, the order shall continue to have effect until the application is determined.
7.3 A review of guardianship should take place before the expiry of the existing order as reports similar to those which were provided at the first application have to be prepared for the renewal application. Reports have to be based on the current position and time will be required for an up to date assessment. The Public Guardian will issue a reminder to all guardians three months before the expiry of the order that their appointments are approaching the end. At the same time as you receive such a letter, the local authority will be similarly informed.
7.4 The 3 months' notice given by the Public Guardian is a failsafe. Welfare guardians should be starting to think about renewal along with their local authority supervisors as part of the agenda for supervision during the last 6 months of the order. Financial guardians should consider renewal when they submit their accounts for the last accounting period of their current term.
7.5 You should therefore keep a note of the renewal date so that you can begin thinking about the renewal and whether you want to continue to act and if so, with the same powers and conditions. For example, you may decide that a joint guardian should be appointed to share the duties with you or that you want to step down and let someone else take over. A substitute guardian who was appointed at the same time as you would have to be reassessed for suitability just as you will yourself be if applying for renewal. The Act provides that the local authority shall apply for renewal of a guardianship order if this appears to be necessary and no-one else is doing so.
7.6 A renewal application in the form of a Minute must be accompanied by a medial report in prescribed form, of an examination and assessment carried out with regard to the adult's capacity not more than 30 days prior to the lodging of the renewal application form. If the incapacity is by reason of mental disorder, the report should come from a medical practitioner with experience in that field.
7.7 For renewals of welfare guardianships, the application would also be accompanied by a report provided by a mental health officer, or in cases where the lack of capacity is because of inability to communicate, by the CSWO. The report will give an opinion as to the appropriateness of continuing the guardianship, including the suitability of the guardian.
7.8 For renewals of financial appointments, the application would be accompanied by a report by the Public Guardian giving an opinion of the conduct of the guardianship to date and the continuing suitability of the guardian.
7.9 It will be possible for a sheriff to take a decision without a hearing; but if the sheriff is not satisfied by the information he/she can call for further reports or have a hearing.
7.10 In renewing the order, the sheriff can continue it for a period of 5 years or for such a period as seems suitable including an indefinite period. You can expect to get help and guidance as required when the time for renewal comes round and you can put forward your views on what should happen.
7.11 Legal Aid may be available on the same basis as for applications for guardianship and intervention orders (see paragraph 1.24).
TERMINATION OF GUARDIANSHIP
7.12 Under section 71 of the Act, guardians may be replaced, removed or have their powers recalled.
Replacement or removal of a guardian by the sheriff
7.13 Under section 71 of the Act, the sheriff, on an application made to him or her by an adult subject to guardianship or by any other person claiming an interest in the adult's property, financial affairs or personal welfare, may:
(a) replace a guardian by an individual or office holder nominated in the application if he is satisfied, in relation to an individual that he or she is suitable for appointment;
(b) remove a guardian from office if satisfied:
(i) that there is a substitute guardian who is prepared to act as guardian; or
(ii) in a case where there are joint guardians, that the remaining guardian is or remaining guardians are prepared to continue to act; or
(c) recall a guardianship order or otherwise terminate a guardianship if satisfied:
(i) that the grounds for appointment of a guardian are no longer fulfilled; or
(ii) that the interests of the adult in his property, financial affairs or personal welfare can be satisfactorily safeguarded or promoted otherwise than by guardianship.
7.14 An adult or any other interested party can apply to the sheriff under this section if there is reason to make a change in respect of the guardian either because of life events or concerns about the functioning of the guardian. In most instances a new application will be required, apart from cases where joint guardians or substitute guardians were appointed in any previous applications.
7.15 The Act provides a range of different ways in which a change of guardian might happen and recognises that there will be a variety of circumstances bringing this about.
7.16 Replacement is where a new application nominates another individual (who could be the CSWO) to be appointed. The new guardian has to meet the criteria set out in section 59 of the Act (see part 4 of this code). Replacement may be appropriate in situations where, for example, the guardian dies or moves to another part of the country. It can also be used if the local authority does not think the guardian is carrying out the duties in a satisfactory way or if the MWC or Public Guardian is dissatisfied.
7.17 A guardian may be removed by the sheriff where another guardian exists who is prepared to take over acting or to continue to act. This can only happen where there is either a substitute guardian or a joint guardian. Removing the powers of an existing guardian will usually happen because the guardian is no longer able or failing in the exercise of his or her powers.
7.18 Resignation by a guardian is covered by a procedure set out in section 75 of the Act. To protect the adult from there being an interval of time when no guardian is acting, resignation cannot become effective until the appropriate notifications have been made and the appointment of another guardian is approved by the sheriff. Therefore if you decide to give up as guardian, you should notify the Public Guardian, the local authority and where appropriate the MWC (if you are a welfare guardian) giving as much notice as you can of your intention.
7.19 A joint guardian or a guardian where a substitute has been appointed, may resign with effect from notifying the above bodies provided the remaining joint guardian or substitute guardian is prepared to act.
7.20 In effect a guardian seeking to resign has to ensure that there is someone already approved to take over either by means of a previous application or a new one being submitted to the sheriff.
7.21 As might be expected, the death of the adult ends guardianship. The Act provides for guardians to continue to act until aware of the death, provided any action after death is done in good faith. It is a requirement to notify the Public Guardian of the adult's death. She will inform the local authority and MWC, as necessary.
What if you become unavailable to act?
7.22 If you are temporarily unable to act as guardian, e.g. because of hospitalisation or having to attend to matters abroad, and there is no joint or substitute guardian, you should consider whether there is someone suitable to apply to become an additional guardian. This would take the same length of time as the original application for guardianship. Alternatively, it is possible in terms of section 64(6) that you could leave instructions for safeguarding the adult's property, financial affairs or personal welfare with a solicitor or other agent to cover the period when you are unavailable personally to act. It is also possible that in order to expedite the appointment of an additional guardian, the local authority and medical practitioners providing reports would be prepared to shorten the statutory timescales normally allowed.
7.23 If you are a welfare guardian who will be temporarily unavailable you should discuss the matter with your local authority supervisor. If there is no-one else willing to act, the local authority could apply for interim welfare guardianship for the CSWO while the situation is being sorted out.
7.24 If you become unable to act as financial guardian you should inform the Public Guardian immediately.
7.25 You should also leave instructions with a colleague, relative, or the adult's relatives or carer as to what action to take if you yourself lose capacity owing to an accident or illness, during your term as guardian. No-one else can simply take over a guardian's powers without authority of the court, although the guardian can expressly delegate his functions to another person and this could cover any period during which the guardian was temporarily unavailable to act. In the event of the death of a guardian, his or her personal representatives should inform the Public Guardian.
RECALL OF GUARDIANSHIP
Identifying the need for recall of guardianship
7.26 The desirability of recalling a guardian's powers may be identified through day-to-day contact with the adult, or from regular supervision by the local authority or Public Guardian of a welfare guardian or financial guardian respectively. Alternatively, the need for change may be identified through complaints or investigation about the way that an individual guardian is carrying out his or her functions. You as guardian should be alert to, and should raise in your supervision meetings with the local authority OPG, the possibility that changes may be required, particularly where the adult's incapacity is not likely to be permanent. For example, a younger person with a learning disability may develop an ability to manage his or her own affairs over time.
7.27 The principles within the Act should be applied to the question of recall and care should be taken to ensure that those with an interest are informed of any decision to apply for recall.
7.28 As a matter of good practice, changes that may be required to guardianship should be sought at an early opportunity. However, it will be a matter of balance as to when this should be sought. You as guardian should not, for example, automatically wait until the next regular review to initiate action. It would be good practice to contact your local authority supervisor or the OPG should it become clear that a change is desirable.
Who can recall guardianship?
7.29 Both the sheriff and the Public Guardian have the power to recall financial guardianship. The sheriff, local authority and the MWC (only in cases where incapacity relates to mental disorder) may recall the powers of a welfare guardian. A local authority can recall a welfare guardian's powers where the CSWO is the guardian.
Who can apply for recall?
7.30 Anyone claiming an interest, including the adult, may apply for recall. The Public Guardian, the MWC and local authorities can also all consider recall at their own instance. Details of the process for recall by local authorities are provided in the code of practice for local authorities.
Deciding which body to apply to
7.31 It is likely to be simpler and quicker for the application to be made to the MWC or local authority (for recall of welfare powers) or the Public Guardian (for recall of financial powers) than to the courts. The local authority has a direct supervisory role and is more familiar with the adult and his/her circumstances and as such the application should go to them in the first place. The local authority should consult the MWC.
7.32 This might be appropriate if there are no other factors, such as opposition by those with an interest in the adult's affairs, that might suggest that recall should be considered by the sheriff. Only the sheriff, however, will be able to take an overview of all the adult's affairs and make a less intrusive order. The courts are, in practice, the correct forum to deal with controversial or contested applications. Recall decisions by the Public Guardian, the local authority and the MWC may be appealed to the sheriff.
7.33 Where recall of both financial and welfare powers are sought, separate applications could be made to the Public Guardian to recall financial powers and to the local authority or MWC to recall welfare powers. Alternatively, a single application to the sheriff could be made to recall both financial and welfare power.
MAKING AN APPLICATION FOR RECALL
7.34 An application to the sheriff will be in the form of a document called a minute. Guidance on preparation can be obtained from the Sheriff Clerk. Where non notification to the adult is proposed in relation to recall of welfare guardianship an application must be made to the sheriff, because only the sheriff has the power to dispense with notification in such cases. The Public Guardian has similar powers in relation to recall of financial guardianship.
7.35 The OPG has prepared guidance notes and an application form for applying to the Public Guardian for recall of financial guardianship.
7.36 The forms for applying to the local authority or the MWC for recall of guardianship are prescribed in the Adults with Incapacity (Recall of Guardians' Powers) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 as amended by the Adults with Incapacity (Recall of Guardians' Powers) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008. The forms are available electronically at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/topics/justice/civil/awi.
Grounds for recall
7.37 Details of the grounds on which recall is sought must be given to indicate that either or both of the grounds at section 73(3) of the Act are met, namely that:
- that the grounds for appointment of a guardian are no longer fulfilled; or
- that the interests of the adult in his personal welfare, property or financial affairs can be satisfactorily safeguarded or promoted otherwise than by guardianship.
7.38 If the application for recall is submitted on the grounds that the adult is no longer incapable in relation to the matters concerned, a report to that effect signed by a medical practitioner will be required to accompany the application. The form is prescribed in the Adults with Incapacity (Recall of Guardians' Powers) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 as amended by The Adults with Incapacity (Recall of Guardians' Powers) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 and is available electronically at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/topics/justice/civil/awi. In cases where an application for recall relates to financial and property matters, the Public Guardian has a set report form to be used by a medical practitioner. This is downloadable from the OPG website ( www.publicguardian-scotland.gov.uk). Where recall relates to welfare matters the MWC has a set report form to be used by a medical practitioner, downloadable from the MWC website: www.mwcscot.org.uk.
7.39 If the grounds for the application for recall are that the adult's interests can be satisfactorily safeguarded or promoted otherwise than by guardianship, the application will need to state the alternative means by which the adult's interests are to be protected. These may be less restrictive measures under the Act or alternatives such as appointeeship under social security regulations.
7.40 The application will need to confirm that consultation has taken account of the views of all those listed at section 1(4) of the Act. This includes in all cases the present and past wishes and feelings of the adult. The views of the nearest relative, primary carer, the adult's named person and any person whom the sheriff has directed to be consulted are required to be taken into account insofar as it is reasonable and practicable to do so. The application should confirm explicitly that this has been done. The application should, further, confirm that the views of any other person appearing to have an interest in the adult's welfare, that are made known, have been taken into account insofar as it is reasonable and practicable to do so.
7.41 You as guardian can be the one to make the application. You may also find that someone else applies. In particular, the adult is entitled to make an application in person whether or not he or she is capable in relation to the matters covered by the guardian's powers. Where the local authority, MWC or Public Guardian receives an application for recall, or intends to recall a guardian's powers at their own instigation, they have to notify the adult, his or her nearest relative, the primary carer, his or her named person and any person they consider has an interest in the recall. All those notified have 21 days to object to the proposed recall. Objections must be made in writing. If someone else makes the application, you will therefore receive notification of it and will need to decide whether you agree with it or want to oppose it and ask for your powers to be maintained or modified in some way.
7.42 If you object to recall, you will have to make this known to the local authority, MWC or Public Guardian.
7.43 If the local authority, MWC or Public Guardian proposes to reject a recall application, an intimation of this must be sent to the applicant and the adult, who may object within 21 days, and who have the right to have their objections heard before a final decision is made.
7.44 The local authority, MWC or Public Guardian may consider the objections and take a decision themselves, but must be able to give reasons for any such decision. The local authority, MWC or Public Guardian may, as an alternative to agreeing or refusing a recall, decide that the decision should be made instead by the sheriff, whose decision is final.
7.45 Remit to the sheriff is likely to be appropriate where differing views about the desirability of recall emerge during the local authority's consideration of the matter and the local authority considers that evidence should be heard before a decision is taken. A court setting would allow opposing views to be heard and the parties to arrange for legal representation if they wished to do so. This would give you, as guardian, a chance to explain your objections. Therefore, if someone has applied for recall, but you as guardian consider that the principles still point to guardianship, you should ask the body considering recall (if not the sheriff) to remit the case to the sheriff so that your objections can be heard in court. You may wish to be legally represented in such circumstances.
APPEAL AGAINST RECALL DECISIONS
7.46 An appeal against a decision to recall a guardian's powers may be made to the sheriff, as may an appeal about a decision by the local authority, MWC or Public Guardian to remit or not to remit the matter to the sheriff for the court to decide.
TRANSFER TO A DIFFERENT LOCAL AUTHORITY AREA (IN CASES WHERE THE LOCAL AUTHORITY IS THE WELFARE GUARDIAN)
7.47 Under section 76 of the Act, where an adult under local authority guardianship changes habitual residence, the chief social work officer must inform the chief social work officer of the receiving authority. The receiving authority then has 7 days to notify the Public Guardian, and in appropriate cases the MWC, of the transfer. Within a further 7 days the CSWO of the receiving authority must notify the adult (unless the sheriff has directed that intimation should not be given to the adult), the Public Guardian, and where appropriate the MWC of the name of the officer responsible for carrying out the functions and duties of guardian. | <urn:uuid:97f8e4d0-63f1-4e30-b2b0-c2801103d193> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.gov.scot/publications/adults-incapacity-scotland-act-2000-code-practice-persons-authorised-under-intervention-orders-guardians/pages/8/ | 2020-08-10T03:09:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738603.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810012015-20200810042015-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.948329 | 4,157 | [

The root of our spirit can be found in the sun-kissed soil of our historic hacienda. It’s here in Amatitán, Jalisco, that every drop of tequila we make begins its life. Here we learn, cultivate and perfect the skill it takes to make our world-famous spirit. No filler, no added colors, just 100% blue Weber agave tequila, crafted with 100% pure determination and honor.
In the field we stand: a band of dedicated jimadores. Our coas at the ready, carefully harvesting every plant, knowing – by eye – which are ready and which should be left for tomorrow. Our passion, fused with that of the master distillers is what makes the difference. Grit, dedication and spirit go into every drop, and that’s why it stands alone.

Efficient and effective performance for challenging water conditions
Kinetico Signature Series water softeners are modeled after our original twin tank, non-electric water softeners that have been solving the water problems of millions of people worldwide for decades. Powered by water flow (kinetic energy) instead of electricity, you can count on Signature Series water softeners to solve your hard water and iron problems without creating new ones. They’re reliable, economical and the perfect fit in many homes.
The beauty of a Signature Series water softener is its ability to monitor your water use and regenerate (clean) only when needed. If you use a lot of water, your water softener will regenerate more, or it may not regenerate for several days if water usage is low. This efficient approach saves salt, water, money and guesswork. Once your system is installed, you don’t have to give your system another thought.
There’s no need to worry when your system goes into regeneration. The twin-tank design provides a continuous supply of soft water, even during the regeneration process. One tank is always in service while the other tank is either on standby or regenerating. And thanks to the twin tank design, Signature Series water softeners regenerate using soft water – something single tank systems simply can’t do. With soft water regeneration, your system will work better and last longer. | <urn:uuid:0654bc49-bbf2-4d36-a1f9-1e9d8ac28a92> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://starkeysoftwater.com/product/kinetico-signature-series-water-softeners/ | 2020-08-13T17:47:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.93251 | 282 | [

Automatic garage door openers often come with standard safety features. If you have pets, they could be easily injured. You want to avoid any unexpected vet bills or garage door repairs, as they could be costly. It is important to understand how to keep them safe to avoid any issues from occurring ahead of time.
* Auto-Reverse: When the door is closing, it will automatically stop and re-open if it senses any type of obstruction. This will keep it from crushing the obstacle in the way. If it suddenly stops, you may find you need to look into garage door opener repair. You can test the functionality of the auto-reverse using a cardboard box. Place it under the door and watch to see how the door reacts.
* Motion Detection: The motion detector is designed to sense any disturbance that is in the pathway of the garage door as it closes. If the motion detector is tripped, it will cause the door to re-open. Open the door and push an object in the pathway and you can measure the doors reaction. Be careful not to let the dogs get close to the springs when the door is a closed position. Their fur, legs, or tail could easily get caught in any of the moving parts. In addition to harming your pet, you could be facing the expenditure of garage door repair parts.

Mechanism for Manual Release: The manual release mechanism is designed for emergencies like power outages, stuck doors, or a broken garage door spring. To operate, just pull a handle on the door and manually move the door up or down. It is a good idea to test the manual release handle to ensure it is working properly. This will come in handy of the door should not close all the way and a pet gets trapped between the door and the concrete floor.
If you don’t know if your garage door is pet friendly or not or if you need to make a safety upgrade, contact a professional to help you review your door set up. This will help you keep your pets and family safe all year long. | <urn:uuid:5d74e07e-0153-436e-bcb6-37d3061761ba> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.garagedoors-ridgewood-nj.info/keeping-your-pets-safe-around-garage-doors | 2020-08-13T18:02:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.935129 | 424 | [

Frank Lampard keen to bring in Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell when Chelsea’s transfer ban is lifted, according to The Sun.
A successful appeal would allow the West London club to sign players in January, but if unsuccessful the Chelsea boss will have to wait until next summer to bring in new players.
The Sun suggest top of Chelsea’s hitlist is left-back Chilwell for a reported £70million. They could face competition though, as Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona have been reported as interested recently.
Lampard is thought to be a big fan of the 22-year-old as he hopes to bring some much-needed youth to the squad alongside exciting talents such as Mason Mount.
Chilwell has come through the ranks at the Foxes, and is now a regular in the side and a full England international.
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers will be likely to include the cultured full-back in his starting line-up as his team face Wolverhampton Wanderers in their opening Premier League game. | <urn:uuid:b8f53523-c4b7-4ec7-9cde-9bbfbc191e77> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.shoot.co.uk/frank-lampard-keen-to-bring-in-leicester-citys-ben-chilwell-when-chelseas-transfer-ban-is-lifted/ | 2020-08-05T10:52:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735939.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805094821-20200805124821-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.968822 | 219 | [

The Best Dice Games
If you are having a party, then one of the best games that you can play during the party are dice games. If you play dice games, everyone can join and not get bored. You can easily learn the rules of these dice games.
Here are some of the best dice games that you can play.
One of the games you can play is ship, captain, mate, crew. To get a ship, you need to roll a six on your dice. You need five to get the captain, four for the mate, and the rest will be the number of crew members they will have. You can obtain ship, captain, mate and crew in order. If on your first roll you get 6, 3, 2, 1, 6, then all you get is the ship and you need to reroll to get the rest. You win the game by getting the ship, captain, mate and the most number of crew.
Left, center, right is another dice game that you can play. It can be played by anyone who is 3 years old above. There is a different kind of way that dice in this game is numbered. What you have are L, C, and R on the dice faces and dots of the other sides. You will also have chips for this game. Getting an L on the dice means that you need to give a chip to the person on your left. If you roll an R, then the chip goes to the person on your right. You put your chip on the center if you roll a C. The winner is the last person with chips. You get a lot of fun playing this simple game.
If you play Farkle, you will need a cup, six dice, and a score sheet. Put the dice in the cup and roll. The game’s object is to get the most points by matching the combinations that are on your scorecard. If you roll is bad, then you can put a few or all of your dice back in the cup and go again. It is also possible to lose everything you have worked for in Farkle.
Yahtzee is another great dice game. This game is a classic and has been played for years. What you need to play this game are a cup, dice, and scorepad You need to play thirteen rounds to get different combinations. Being able to roll five of the same exact number will give you the chance to yell out “Yahtzee.”
Kids can be kept busy together with the fame Roll for it. If you have 2 to 4 players, then you can play this game. You need to flip three cards, then each player will roll the dice to try and match the values on the card. They will take the card and get points if they manage to do it. The first player to get 40 points wins. | <urn:uuid:57c99e10-72e0-4d37-8f4c-cab694aaf52f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.eigakyuka.com/why-arent-as-bad-as-you-think-5/ | 2020-08-07T00:43:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737050.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807000315-20200807030315-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.969931 | 587 | [

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Three times a day, Matthew Reimer drinks the oil.
"It doesn't have much of a flavor, but the texture isn't really that great," says 9-year-old Matthew.
It is Lorenzo's Oil, made famous in a movie by that name several decades ago. It is made from olive and rapeseed oils, and its purpose is to keep certain fatty acids from accumulating in the brain. That can happen in the genetic disease that Matthew has. It's Adrenoleukodystrophy or ALD. The accumulation can lead to brain damage and death.
The severe form of ALD happens only in boys. Matthew is still very active with no evidence of damage so far. The oil and a low-fat diet seem to be working.
"Each day, we're just thankful that we have him and he's healthy because we know how bad it can get," says his mother, Emily Reimer.
But the Reimers live with great uncertainty. Government funding for the ongoing study of Lorenzo's Oil has ended. Researchers in Maryland are trying to get the substance FDA approved or at least get the okay for its compassionate use.
"If we lose the study and it's not FDA-approved, we don't have Lorenzo's Oil anymore here in the United States," says Emily.
It's one reason why the Reimers and friends are holding a fundraiser in Lawrence this Saturday. For more information or to RSVP, go to www.curingmatt.org.
They'll have an auction of fine art from area artists, including Jeff Hanson, and some artists from the west coast. They'll also have the drawings of an up-and-coming young artist named Matthew.
"I just like to draw my own creatures that I create," he says.
Money raised will go to The Myelin Project, which supports the Lorenzo's Oil research and research of gene therapy which the Reimers say holds the greatest promise.
"So ultimately we'd like to find that cure," says Matthew's father, Troy Reimer.
The Reimers want the picture to be much brighter for Matthew and other boys with ALD. | <urn:uuid:17443fea-d683-4b8e-bd42-5c3a44a102b9> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://fox4kc.com/health/family-fears-lorenzos-oil-will-no-longer-be-available/ | 2020-08-08T15:40:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737883.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808135620-20200808165620-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.976847 | 451 | [

Old Hall at Harwick, Hardwick Hall Country Park, Ault Hucknall, c 1800?
Miss Frances Webb
Hardwick Hall Country Park
About this image
Text from http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk/ reads:
"The ruins of Hardwick Old Hall situated 200 metres south west of Hardwick New Hall. The structure of the house survives to varying degrees; the west wing survives more or less to its original height but the north face of the east wing and all but the ground floor of the centre were demolished in the 18th century to provide stone for Chatsworth House. Central to the house is the hall. The hall ran from the front to the back of the building with wings two or more rooms deep on either side. A hall of this type, in contrast with those which run along the length of one front, was an innovatory feature. The fabric of the Old Hall largely dates from between 1587 when Bess of Hardwick began to re-model the early 16th century house and 1597 when she moved to the New Hall. It was almost entirely executed in rubble walling, except for external areas of the east wing which was the last portion to be built and is faced with ashlar. There is substantial remains of decorative plasterwork by Abraham Smith. The Hardwick family had been established at Hardwick since at least the end of the 14th century and had taken their names from their place of residence. Bess bought the house in 1538 when her brother James, the former owner, died. She moved into it in 1584 when a quarrel with her fourth husband, the Earl of Shrewsbury, made it the only house available to her. Bess's husband died in 1590 and with her widow's portion Bess built a bigger and more elaborate new house next to it but did not move in until October 1597. The west wing continued to be partly lived in until at least the end of the 18th century. In 1789 the Hill Great Chamber was empty but the lower rooms were still occupied by the housekeeper of the New Hall and a family. Serious degredation of the west wing set in during the early 19th century when lead was removed from the roof. Now, there is no roof and the floors that survived until 1956 were removed for safety reasons."
This image is one of a collection by the famous local antiquarian, Thomas Bateman, of Middleton by Youlgreave. (1821-1861). Bateman organized his collection by inserting them into a 4 volume copy of Lysons Magna Britannia, Derbyshire, creating a fascinating and unique illustrated record of the county. The purchase of the collection for Derbyshire Libraries was made possible by the generous bequest of Miss Frances Webb of Whaley Bridge, well known local historian, who died in December 2006. | <urn:uuid:c66780d6-8e2a-40cc-ba8e-3489d43f7b2e> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://picturethepast.org.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/dchq200025/posterid/dchq200025.html | 2020-08-08T15:15:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737883.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808135620-20200808165620-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.97897 | 595 | [

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Storage lofts, if you have the extra ceiling height, can also be a great place to stash blankets and whatnot that will just be in the way come spring. They can even provide space to accommodate extra guests or family members, if need be, as a great alternative to guest bedrooms or sofa beds, to keep them out from underfoot as well. | <urn:uuid:340da737-00f2-45e9-828c-2c6a6b09016b> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/yellowstone-club-industrial-bedroom-seattle-phvw-vp~677679 | 2020-08-08T14:49:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737883.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808135620-20200808165620-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.918517 | 101 | [

I currently have a 53 Ford F-100 down doing a frame off restore/build.
I used a cherry picker to lift the cab off the frame and fabbed a roll
around "carriage" from two old bread racks with casters and some angle
This gives me some mobility to work on it and I can push it out of the
way when finished. Mine is about 2' wide and 4' long and yours would
probably be square and something line 4-5' on each side I would guess
I doubt seriously that the body would way more than 1000 or 1200 max
most of your weight is engine frame and drive train. Two of us can
lift the truck cab (stripped) with no problem
you could also use 2x4's and screw one together to do the same...use
good swivel casters on all four corners.
Hope this helps

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will on Monday inaugurate an international conference here on regional cooperation to deal effectively with illicit financial flows, mainly from tax frauds and human trafficking.
The three-day conference on "Networking the Networks" would attempt to identify the best practices of international organisations for cooperation on illicit financial flows, the finance ministry said in a statement here on Saturday.
"The proposal to hold the 'Networking the Networks' meeting was agreed during the last visit of the executive director, UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) to India on December 3, 2014 and his meeting with the revenue secretary," the statement said.
"He has also reaffirmed UNODC's readiness to further extend support to India and the region in countering trans-national organized crime and promoting drug prevention, treatment and care among vulnerable population groups," it added.
With South Asia being vulnerable to illicit financial flows, informal money transfer systems are also popular and can be easily misused by the criminal networks for the transfer of crime proceeds, as well as for terrorism financing.
"One of the ways to effectively combat the criminal networks is to disrupt their financial flows. But the criminal networks are of transnational nature and money movements are executed very fast," the statement said.
"So to combat these criminal networks and their illicit financial flows, law enforcement agencies need fast operational cooperation with their foreign partners, and capacities to deal with the financial crimes," it added.
The conference would also deal with instituting a regional coordination mechanism for intelligence sharing in criminal matters.
Currently there are multiple regional organizations for law enforcement cooperation like the Central Asian Regional Information and Coordination Centre (CARICC) and Southeast European Law Enforcement Centre (SELEC).
"But their capacities are not fully utilised for tracing of illicit financial flows and for the law enforcement-financial intelligence cooperation," the statement said.
The conference would also make recommendations on best practices and solutions which can be applied to the nascent South Asia Regional Information and Coordination Centre (SARICC). | <urn:uuid:782a93b2-3510-4c52-8063-899f7567c758> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.businesstoday.in/current/economy-politics/finance-minister-arun-jaitley-to-open-global-meet-on-tackling-illicit-fund-flows/story/225549.html | 2020-08-10T09:03:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738653.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810072511-20200810102511-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.95702 | 418 | [

The Chief Executive has announced earlier a series of measures on job retention, job creation and job advancement under the Anti-epidemic Fund. It is suggested to create around 30000 time-limited jobs in the public and private sectors in the coming two years to reduce unemployment, the situation of which has been worsened owing to the COVID-19 epidemic. The Development Bureau and departments under it are taking proactive actions to facilitate and implement these measures by providing about 4700 temporary jobs of a wide variety in the times to come. Provide 4700 temporary jobs These temporary jobs cover various areas and people with different skills and academic qualifications, including professionals and technical and back-office support officers, will be eligible. Fresh graduates can also apply for internship programmes on building surveying, urban planning, estate surveying, land surveying and engineering, etc. Of the 4700 new job openings, more than 530 are provided by the government while 4100 and more are openings from private organisations. Some of the job openings will be in place in three months progressively. Digitailise the E&M assets Among these openings, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department plans to recruit 1200 temporary staff with service terms of up to 18 months. Half of the employees will be responsible for cleaning electrical and mechanical (E&M) systems at several thousand governmental buildings, while the other half will assist in the digitalization of E&M assets. Inspect drainage pipes Besides, the Buildings Department will appoint consultancy firms to inspect drainage pipes at the external walls of over 20000 targeted private domestic and composite buildings in Hong Kong. The appointed firms will have to recruit extra manpower and hence are expected to create more than 400 job openings. Improve buildings safety The Buildings Department will also recruit 120 short-term staff whose job duties include: speeding up the processing of drainage repair order yet to be complied with and cases of misconnection of drainage; organising public educational and promotional activities, etc. Amid the COVID-19 epidemic, the government aims to add momentum to the labour market by increasing short-term job openings for people from all walks of life, from professionals, technical and supporting officers to fresh graduates.

Programme Overview Remote working or service has become a new trend against the backdrop of the epidemic. Under the “Anti-Epidemic Fund”, the Innovation and Technology Commission has launched the “Distance Business (D-Biz) Programme” to provide funding support for enterprises to adopt IT solutions for developing distance business. In view of the overwhelming response from enterprises, the Government will allocate $1 billion for the Programme, in addition to the original $500 million, to benefit more enterprises.

Amid the COVID-19 epidemic, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) has actively participated in carrying out preventive work, particularly the sterilization of ambulances under the Fire Service Department. Demonstrating a great team spirit, EMSD provides assistance to various departments to combat the virus using innovative technology. Examples include installation of thermal detection devices in different governmental venues, especially in places where people gather, for detection of fever, and stepping up of the cleaning and sterilization of air-conditioning systems. (The video is broadcasted in Cantonese)
As the COVID-19 epidemic continues, many customs officers, with the support of their families, volunteer to take part in conducting preventive measures. The volunteers, who are assigned to work in a three-shift roster in 24 hours, are responsible for registration, distributing resources and providing care to people under quarantine.As the volunteers say, while their experiences of serving tourists at the boarders can be applied at the quarantine centres, they can also be a listener of the quarantined. Every member of the team is proudly contributing to fighting against the virus. (The video is broadcasted in Cantonese)
Pulled down to the depths of the valley, one would ask ‘What’s next?’ Ask the Civil Aid Service’s Cheung Ho-ching and he would tell you, “we will bounce right back, as long as the people of Hong Kong stick together”. CAS is an auxiliary emergency service. Cheung himself is a volunteer working at the Jao Tsung-I Academy quarantine centre, helping the Duty Officer with the centre’s daily operations. Cheung told us that all the volunteers there, while mindful, are not bogged down by fears of infection. The volunteers just want to contribute, play a part and do a little something to help. Forever an optimist, Cheung is not overly bothered about the adverse impact of the epidemic. Rather, he is heartened by the selflessness and compassion of Hong Kong people during such trying times. Unsolicited, many go out of their way to co-ordinate donations, distribute and hand out face masks, hand sanitisers... He can’t help being impressed. Our hats off to our volunteers! Our thanks to each of you who join us in the fight against the virus!
Yes, we may now be down at the bottom of the valley. However, if we slowly make our ascent, one step at a time, we can reach the peak. And from up there, we will re-discover Hong Kong, in all its glory and splendour.According to Country Parks Ranger Chan Lok-sum, there has been a considerable jump in the number of hikers recently, all in search of more space and fresh air. Many however left behind them litter like used tissues and face masks. Ms Chan would love to see fewer litter bugs, if only hikers were more conscientious when disposing their own litter.Probably due to the SARS experience, people in Hong Kong are very disciplined in maintaining personal hygiene. Wearing masks is a norm, so is sharing hygiene essentials with friends in need. Such mutual help and care make Hong Kong a beautiful place to live in.
Hey Mr Postman, how's your day? And how has work been lately?As soon as the epidemic broke out, overseas postal packages started flooding in. Many of them are top of our “most wanted” list — face masks and sanitation products.Our postmen may not be in the war trenches so to speak, but delivering these packages is nonetheless a matter of great urgency too. To ensure their timely delivery to the right hands, many postmen volunteer to stay behind after work to make this happen.Yes, whoever we are, everyone has a role to play and every role is equally important. Credit is not what we are looking for. We are looking for the smile behind every mask. As Postman Lee Wah said, "If everyone does his or her part, the pandemic will be over in no time.” Let’s thank all colleagues who stand by their posts and give their best to overcome this challenge, as well as all of you who help by maintaining social distance.
As the first rescue team member to arrive in Japan, Senior Immigration Officer, Mickie Choi, never for once claimed to be selfless. He, in a matter-of-fact way, described his work in Yokohama as a duty. “Someone has to take this up. Once I was assigned to it, I had got to give my very best and accomplish the mission,” said he.Mickie arrived in Yokohama on February 4. Series of negotiations and preparations followed. When he eventually welcomed ashore the passengers, Choi could not help getting a little emotional. Mission accomplished, yes, but not without concerns. Upon returning home, he had to confine himself temporarily to the living room couch. He, however, hastened to add: “What I did was nothing compared to the selfless dedication of our frontline health workers. I would in fact like to take this opportunity to thank every one of them. I also wish for Hong Kongers to come together; that all can play a part, however small, to overcome this challenge.”We are thankful to those who have helped bring home our residents, to those fighting this pandemic, and to those maintaining social distance!
It has not been easy holding the first line of defence. Hats off to health workers who are engaged in combat, on the firing line, day after day.In seeking to protect patients and themselves at the same time, Dr. Chan Po Ling felt that coping with mental pressures was the most difficult part.While taking off her white coat after work each time, Dr. Chan would ask herself “Should I head home tonight?"“Would being home affect my loved ones?”“Should I rather stay in a hotel or hostel until the pandemic is over?” After all, the well-being of the family is on top of everyone’s mind.Indeed, medical workers are not lone soldiers in the battle. Look at the supporting staff, helpers, and cleaning ladies. They are all in this together. Nobody has the crowning glory. It is shared by each and everyone who is making a contribution to the fight against the coronavirus, one way or the other.Our appreciation goes to all medical workers and supporting staff, not to mention contributors from other sectors, including citizens who chip in by maintaining social distancing – every metre helps!
As an ambulanceman, duty beckons to serve patients with all sorts of injuries and illnesses. Ambulanceman Siu Man-chun is always prepared for the worst.But then, never mind how well prepared one may be, working mostly on the frontline has its concerns. Siu says he is often bothered by fears of infection, and worse still, transmitting it to family and friends. Worries are there, always.Nonetheless, Siu is fully committed to serving Hong Kong, the home to which he belongs and to which he owes his allegiance.Our appreciation goes to all medical workers and supporting staff, not forgetting contributors from other sectors, including citizens who chip in by maintaining social distancing.

Handwashing simply means getting your hands wet under tap water, doesn’t it? Well, yes and no. Handwashing can be a matter of profession when you take it seriously. Basically there are two ways of securing hand hygiene: one by liquid soap and water, and the other by alcohol-based hand-rub. With liquid soap and water It is advised to clean hands with liquid soap and water when hands are visibly dirty or visibly soiled with blood and body fluid, after using the toilet or changing the diapers. Steps:(i) Wet hands under running water.(ii) Apply liquid soap and rub hands together to make a soapy lather.(iii) Away from the running water, rub hands according to the 7 steps of hand hygiene technique for at least 20 seconds. Do not rinse off the soap while rubbing.(iv) Rinse hands thoroughly under running water.(v) Dry hands thoroughly with either a clean cotton towel or a paper towel.(vi) The cleaned hands should not touch the water tap directly again. For example: using a paper towel to wrap the faucet before turn it off. With alcohol-based handrub When hands are not visibly soiled, hand hygiene with 70-80% alcohol-based handrub is also an effective alternative. (Always check the expiry date before purchasing and using alcohol-based handrub.) Steps:(i) Apply a palmful of alcohol-based handrub to cover all surfaces of the hands. Rub hands according to the 7 steps of hand hygiene technique for at least 20 seconds until the hands are dry. There are three principles to note if you would like to be an expert of hand hygiene: Point 1：Rub hands with 7 stepsThat is the seven parts of your hand, i.e. Palms > Back of hands > Between fingers > Back of fingers > Thumbs > Finger tips > Wrists.Point 2：Rub hands at least 20 secondsPoint 3：Reminding Each Other to Keep Hands Clean Before you are ready to be a hand hygiene master, remember to always clean your hands in the following circumstances: (a) Before & after touching eyes, nose and mouth;(b) Before eating & preparing food;(c) After using the toilet;(d) When hands are contaminated by respiratory secretions, e.g. aftercoughing or sneezing;(e) After changing diapers or handling soiled items from children orthe sick;(f) After touching animals, poultry or their droppings;(g) After handling garbage;(h) After touching public installations or equipment, such as escalator handrails, elevator control panels or door knobs;(i) Before and after visiting hospitals, residential care homes or caring for the sick; and last but not least, "Any time you find your hands dirty." | <urn:uuid:235f42b0-806a-47d8-96a8-dbc9eac8975c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.youth.gov.hk/en/hashtag.htm?hashtag=COVID19 | 2020-08-10T07:28:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738653.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810072511-20200810102511-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.928666 | 7,412 | [

As department stores exert less consumer drawing power, U.S. malls are seeking new types of anchors to build foot traffic. Many malls have been trying to add tenants that, by their nature, require consumers to be physically present, such as restaurants, theaters and fitness centers.
One of the most successful gym chains is Crunch, with more than one million members visiting 250 locations across 24 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia and Spain. In February, Crunch was named Best in Category in the fitness sector by Franchise Business Review’s annual list of the top franchises for 2018.
In an exclusive Retail TouchPoints interview, Ben Midgely, CEO and Founding Partner, Crunch Franchising (pictured above), and Brian Kunkel, VP of Real Estate, Crunch Fitness Franchise (below), reveal:
• Why non-traditional retail such as gyms are attractive tenants for malls and shopping centers;
• Why it’s important to align a gym chain’s business model to that of current mall tenants;
• How a gym’s “cool factor” and unconventional offerings can attract consumers and encourage them to extend their stay.
Retail TouchPoints (RTP): How does Crunch sell itself as a tenant for a mall or shopping center?
Ben Midgely: Typically, we don’t have to call on the mall owners — more and more, they’re calling on us. Large retailers are falling out of favor or are themselves downsizing, and different types of retailers are coming into prominence. With a landlord, someone new has more leverage, and the malls are finding it a little tricky to get the right tenant mix that will draw users in and encourage them to stay for a while.
Brian Kunkel: One selling point is that our gyms are busy, and people want to consolidate the trips they make. They’ll combine a trip to the gym with going to the grocery store and the pharmacy, so a lot of other retailers get trickle-down sales when a Crunch is located in the shopping center.
RTP: What does Crunch look for in a mall?
Midgely: In making our decisions about where to locate, we’re looking at the condition of the mall, as well as its organic traffic. For example, is the mall in a location that people would be driving by anyway, or is it a destination that people make a specific trip to go to?
Kunkel: We find that Crunch franchises do better in regional or neighborhood malls versus that type of ‘super-regional’ mall. If a mall is drawing people from as far as 30 to 40 miles away, that can create congestion that makes it difficult for our customers to find parking.
RTP: What trends are you seeing in the fitness category as they relate to retail?
Midgely: We’re seeing a lot of all-under-one-roof gyms like ours, that feature everything from 100 feet of turf to kettle bells and saddle ropes. In addition we offer proprietary classes with things like working a stripper pole or stiletto strength, for women walking around in high heels. It’s also becoming more important to integrate technology. We’ve invested in our web site to provide online class registration capabilities. We’ve also worked on integrating our app with things like team competitions and fitness-related retail purchases. To get people to physically take action, you have to spend a lot of time integrating people’s fondness for convenience. We’ve found that the more fun and engaging you make it, the better chance you have.
RTP: What’s needed to make a gym’s tenancy a ‘win-win’ for both the mall and the fitness center?
Kunkel: Malls want to line up a gym that’s consistent with the rest of their tenants. If it’s a value fitness chain, for example, they would want to locate it near a Dollar Tree or a similar store. If it’s a higher-end gym, it should be located closer to the high-end retailers.
Midgely: Space is another important consideration. For example, a Life Time Fitness with integrated wellness and lifestyle facilities could take 80,000 to 100,000 square feet, but we will do only 40,000 square feet as a maximum. Additionally, for malls that are trying to revitalize themselves, you want to add a bit of a ‘cool factor’ — something that someone else doesn’t have. We’ve done a complete redesign with materials to provide a more cutting-edge, upscale feel for our locations.
RTP: Can experiential retail like a gym combat the e-Commerce wave that has been shrinking mall traffic?
Midgely: People have to integrate some kind of activity into their lifestyle, particularly as they get older. In terms of malls fighting e-Commerce, we’re seeing retailers like Macy’s, Kohl’s and Best Buy starting to have some positive momentum again. They’re adjusting to the new realities of retail. I don’t think we’re near the end of brick-and-mortar retail by any means, but we’re well into its transformation. I personally love the convenience of shopping online, but I like going out if the experience is interesting. I think in the next 10 years you’ll see more interesting and engaging mall spaces that will successfully hit the nail on the head. | <urn:uuid:2f8bef0a-2ce0-4441-b52f-4fe3acf90822> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://retailtouchpoints.com/features/trend-watch/exclusive-q-a-can-fitness-centers-become-the-new-mall-anchor-store | 2020-08-13T20:36:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739073.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813191256-20200813221256-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.948542 | 1,146 | [

Shares of Pareteum (NASDAQ: TEUM) climbed more than 18% on Monday after the company's CEO came out swinging against a short report issued last week, and a number of Wall Street analysts came to the defense of the cloud-communications platform company.
Continue Reading Below
Pareteum lost nearly a quarter of its value on Friday after a report issued by Aurelius Value questioned recent financial results, claiming Pareteum's better-than-expected quarterly financial results "don't hold up to investigative scrutiny." Aurelius flagged numerous potential issues, calling the company "uninvestible."
CEO Hal Turner, in a letter to shareholders posted on the company's website, warned that "certain short-sellers have used questionable tactics, including leveraging the media to misrepresent facts and make anonymous spurious claims against the company and its officers."
"We categorically deny the allegations put forth," Turner said.
In the letter, he refused to go through Aurelius' accusations blow by blow, saying "we do not intend to legitimize those reports by delving in to them." A number of Wall Street analysts, however, did address the claims and were dismissive of them.
Lake Street analyst Eric Martinuzzi called the sell-off an "incredible buying opportunity," noting the company's outperformance in recent quarters. Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan, meanwhile, said that his channel checks give him "strong confidence" in the integrity of Pareteum's reporting and lead him to believe the Aurelius report is erroneous.
As we said on Friday, there are two sides to every story. Pareteum's response has calmed investors, but the stock is still not yet back to where it was trading last week, and is still down more than 30% in the last month.
The best way for a company to make a short-seller go away is to demonstrate strong performance over time. In his letter, Turner said, "Pareteum has experienced tremendous growth, and we continue to grow in a healthy and measurable way."
If so, the company and its investors have nothing to worry about. If not, Aurelius and potentially others are sure to be there to keep the pressure on.
10 stocks we like better than Pareteum CorporationWhen investing geniuses David and Tom Gardner have a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has quadrupled the market.*
David and Tom just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now... and Pareteum Corporation wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.

Unless you’re an EEA or a Swiss citizen, you’ll need to acquire a Tier 4 student visa to study in the UK. Once you have been assigned a certificate of acceptance of Studies, the course provider will expect you to make an entry clearance application to get you started.
Your process shall complete 15 days ahead of your course start date but can take longer. That is why it’s important that you apply as soon as possible.
While Tier 4 students can take up a wide range of courses, those courses must satisfy certain criteria. Also, there are time limits on how long you can study in the UK if you get the Tier 4 visa. Apart from that, there are some additional requirements you must fulfill in order to get the Tier 4 visa for your studies.
Table of Content
How to Get the Tier 4 Student Visa?
You have to fulfill all Tier 4 student visa prerequisites and should provide the specified evidence in the stated format to increase your chances of success. Generally, the educational institutions that will be sponsoring you will offer their prospective students help in assessing their documents. Hence, it is important that you submit only the specified evidence.
You should attach your valid passport along with all the relevant documents mentioned in the application form. Your passport should include at least one blank page, which is a requirement for all UK visas. You will need a valid passport before you start preparing your application.
The Case of Differentiation Arrangement
Some applicants do not have to submit proof of their qualifications or their finances. This case is said to be the differentiation arrangement that basically works for low-risk applicants. It’s crucial that your passport is issued by one of the countries listed in the list of immigration rules to qualify as a low-risk applicant.
Make sure you go through the list of ‘Evidence used to obtain an offer’ and send all the listed documents accordingly. The Tier 4 guidance section clearly states what’s valid and acceptable (please check the documents used to obtain a tier 4 CAS section). When submitting any academic certificates that are not in English/Welsh, you are required to attach a translation of the document. While low-risk applicants are not needed to submit these documents, they should still have them handy.
Your sponsor has to confirm that it has either checked your language proficiency (read/write/listen/speak) or they are not required to do so. It’s important to understand that unless you have a degree thought in the UK or you are from an English-Speaking country you may be required to take an English language qualification.
This will be evidenced in the CAS you have been issued with.
Unless you’re a low-risk applicant, you have to provide evidence of your funds. This evidence may include personal bank statements, deposit certificates, a letter from a registered bank, letter from your financial sponsor, etc.
Make sure your financial documents include all the required information. Also, your financial documents must exhibit that your funds are in your personal bank account for more than 28 consecutive days.
Arriving in the UK
Once, you have submitted all the required documents and finally got your Tier 4 student visa, you must prepare yourself for questions that the Border Force officers may ask upon your arrival.
While all these steps may sound like a ’no-big deal’, the fact is that it’s not very easy to complete the entire process on your own. That is where professional legal solicitors come to your rescue. Optimus Law is a renowned law firm based in the UK that has highly experienced and proficient immigration lawyers who can help you prepare a winning Tier 4 student visa application. | <urn:uuid:ad15266b-4a3c-4f95-9a37-6e7e02d8b0db> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://optimuslaw.co.uk/how-to-get-the-tier-4-student-visa/ | 2020-08-04T00:03:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735836.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803224907-20200804014907-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.937992 | 755 | [

Bizzarro, Merski, Harkins: Nearly $155,000 awarded for law enforcement coronavirus preparedness
ERIE, June 10 – Erie law enforcement will be able to apply for up to $154,780 in emergency funding to address challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, state Reps. Ryan Bizzarro, Pat Harkins and Bob Merski, all D-Erie, announced today.
The lawmakers said the federal Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding – administered by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency – will fund critical protections for workers and the communities they serve.
“I know from my work as a victim/witness coordinator and victims’ rights advocate how much of our criminal justice system depends on face-to-face, time-sensitive work such as interviewing witnesses and supporting and treating crime victims,” Bizzarro said. “This funding is going to help address the added challenges staff face in carrying out those essential duties safely in the midst of the pandemic.”
Harkins said, “Law enforcement agencies and staff already face a host of challenges, and the pandemic has added another whole layer of logistical problems. Containing the spread of COVID-19 – whether in our county jails, juvenile detention centers, courthouses or the general community – requires resources and planning. This funding will help our agencies implement infection control and keep our dedicated criminal justice workers safe in the field.”
Merski said the funding will support a broad range of resources.
“Protecting our criminal justice workers and the citizens they serve requires a mix of personnel- and equipment-based resources,” Merski said. “Fortunately, our county will be able to use this funding for a wide range of needs, from addressing inmates’ medical issues, to purchasing and distributing critical supplies and personal protective equipment, to hiring extra staff, providing training and furnishing overtime pay.”
Of the $850 million in CESF funding designated for state and local law enforcement assistance nationwide, PCCD was eligible to apply for a state share of approximately $17.6 million. Of that amount, PCCD said $8 million in CESF dollars is being made available now, based on an “unprecedented need to immediately address” COVID-19 prevention, preparedness and response.
The funding is for 24-month projects and will be distributed using a formula based on each county’s population size, with a base allocation amount of $40,000. | <urn:uuid:5c17313b-a0e4-49df-9c8a-49ac84d94981> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://pahouse.com/Bizzarro/InTheNews/NewsRelease/?id=115318 | 2020-08-05T14:26:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735958.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805124104-20200805154104-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.937994 | 531 | [

Javier Gomez relies on his managers, including Aurora Mena, general manager, who has been with Gomez for more than 20 years. Photo by Edward Smith
Written by Edward Smith
A nationwide burger chain has recognized a Central Valley owner as franchisee of the year.
Javier Gomez began at Rally’s as a shift supervisor in 1986 in Los Angeles. He climbed the ranks to general manager before moving to the Central Valley as a district manager in 2000, and eventually buying his former boss’ Central Valley stores in 2012.
Rally’s recognized Gomez this week for not only sales growth and speed of service, but for also building a network of self-sufficient employees capable of running his 12 stores from Bakersfield to Los Banos.
“I don’t want to say I’m an absentee owner, because I’m hands-on everyday,” Gomez said. “But I concentrate more on the marketing aspect of the business and let my people run the operation.”
And his employees make up a team he’s come to rely on, with managers tending to stay for the long haul. One has been there for 26 years.
“I concentrate on how I’m going to retain people, how I’m going to keep people in my organization,” Gomez said. “With the workforce that we have now, it’s very difficult to keep people on board with you.”
Rally’s Franchise Development Director Robert Bhagwandat credits Gomez’ position at nearly level in the company to his ability to work with people.
“Being able to go to an owner — not just your boss, but an owner — and say ‘I’m having a challenge here,’ and the owner’s actually wiling to sit down and say ‘this is how I can help you,’ there’s not a lot of businesses that do that today,” Bhagwandat said.
To find the franchisee of the year, the company surveyed 130 franchisees, using metrics such as how fast cars go through the drive-thru, corporate shopper tests and how quickly customer problems are resolved.

|Talented, Obedient Pretty Buckskin|
AQHA Quarter Horse
APR 2008 (12)
Other Color or Markings
$5,000 (US) NEGOTIABLE
12 year old registered QH, buckskin gelding. Not for a beginner, needs experienced horse person. He is barefoot and sound, vet checks welcome at buyers expense. We bought him as a husband horse but he’s too much horse for my occasional rider husband. He is very obedient under saddle, but is performance bred, and it shows. He really needs a kind and knowledgeable rider who has experience. He loves consistency and routine and is not the kind of guy who does well just sitting around. He can live in a herd situation, but is better with geldings although he does currently live with my mare relatively peacefully when she’s not in season. Sad to see him go but he needs to find his person. Located in Chino Valley, AZ.

Those living near commercial property beware. On July 7, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a measure that would reduce the "quiet enjoyment" of your home if you are located near a commercial property. This was pointed out o us in the recent appearance of Tim Bohen on Jim Horn's Oro Valley Podcast.
Currently, commercial endeavors are not allowed to have noise from their business be more than 40db as measured at the property line of a residence. For example, if you live near a restaurant that has an outside speakers or events, the noise level can not be more than 40db to your property line. Town staff and Planning and Zoning Commission want to change this to 55db. on average and 75db at the max. 75db is equivalent to the sound of a vacuum cleaner. (source). You read about the proposed change here.
Could flooding happen to the homes in Big Wash?
"TUCSON (AP) — Pima County authorities say many homes and businesses could face flood damage in the wake of the latest large wildfire in the Tucson area. The lightning-caused Bighorn Fire started on June 5 and charred more than 187 square miles in and near the Santa Catalina Mountains before it was fully contained last Thursday.
The Arizona Daily reports that close to 1,000 homes and businesses lying along a number of washes could be flooded during a 100-year storm. That’s more than double the 431 landowners in those areas who got letters from the county in late June telling them their homes could be flooded during a big storm." (source) You can watch of video of flood debri pouring down the CDO wash on July 15 at this link.
Paving on La Cholla next week, as project nears completion
As LOVE previously reported, the construction of LaCholla is near. Final paving starts next week."La Cholla Blvd from Overton Road to Lambert Lane will get the final layer of asphalt starting August 5 through August 14. The down side… paving is like watching paint dry. It takes 4 hours from when the pavement is laid to it being hardened and capable of being driven on. Just a suggestion, try to keep out of the area for those days or be patient because it may be some time before you can make a turn on to certain roadways. After that some stripping work a few extra tweaks and the will move to the next section to the north to complete! So if you do drive the area mark it in your calendar and don’t be surprised!"

Welcome to Homescope
Homescope is a family-based business established in 2005 to provide flexible housing options for care leavers. Since that time, we have expanded to include a residential provision of two children’s homes in the Liverpool area for children in care up to the age of 17 years of age.
We believe in high standards and although we believe in traditional standards, we are a progressive company, who believe in varying our resources according to demand. Although we don’t currently do so; we have in the past provided Family Support Team Placements, Family Support Placements for care leavers in the community and Outreach Work to Young Care Leavers in their own property.
We have seen many changes in demand from Local authorities over the years and being aware of the financial pressures for some years now, we try to be responsive to the changes and requirements of our Local Authorities in an ever-changing environment.
We are based in St Helens and although we have provision in the Liverpool area, we are always open to developing partnerships with all Local Authorities in the North West. We constantly look for ways to be innovative and grow our business, but will retain a business that retains the local accountability that provides each and every child/young person with an individually tailored caring service, that recognises children/young people come from different backgrounds, have had different experiences and therefore have differing levels of ability. | <urn:uuid:d84c9cae-dd3b-4b82-a68a-09863f88110f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://homescope.co.uk/ | 2020-08-08T19:53:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.960428 | 287 | [

Police in Alpine, Texas, have charged a National Guardsman stationed near the Mexico border with sexual assault after they say he drunkenly tried to rape a woman in a hotel.
Luis Ontiveros, 30, was arrested early Monday morning at the America’s Best Value Inn on U.S. 90 in Alpine, police said in a news release, which is about 50 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. He is stationed there in anticipation of the arrival of migrant caravans from Central America.
“Luis Ontiveros was arrested for sexual assault of a female,” the press release stated. “Ontiveros is in the National Guard stationed in the area.”
The woman he is accused of assaulting, who has not been identified by authorities, is also a member of the National Guard, stationed in the same area as Ontiveros, the Daily Beast reported.
Ontiveros walked his co-worker back to her hotel room after a night of drinking in another National Guardsman’s room, where the woman had already thrown up from drinking too much, early Monday morning, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by KOSA. When she lay down in her bed and closed her eyes, the affidavit says, Ontiveros told her “if she did not wake up that he was going to kiss her.”
He took her clothes off before she was able to get out of the hotel room, police say, according to KOSA, and knocked on the hotel room door next to hers, telling the man who answered that Ontiveros had tried to rape her.
Laura L. Lopez, press secretary for the Texas Military Department, told The Daily Beast the department was “taking these allegations very seriously and will be opening up an inquiry into what happened Monday night in Alpine, Texas.”
Alpine Police Lieutenant Felipe Fierro told the news outlet that the arrest represented the first incident of alleged misconduct reported to the police department in connection with the active troops recently stationed in the area.
National Guard officers have been deployed across border towns in Texas, Arizona and California, along with thousands of military troops, in anticipation of the arrival of thousands of migrants making their way to the U.S., which President Donald Trump has described as an “invasion.” | <urn:uuid:b0a48d6e-40f4-4865-930f-c1d694579598> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://winecellarmedia.com/2018/11/14/national-guard-member-deployed-to-border-arrested-for-attempted-rape/ | 2020-08-08T20:36:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.980047 | 482 | [

Who likes the combination of chocolate and ginger? After making a huge batch of chocolate ginger macarons, I had to share this Chocolate Ginger Fondant Cake – a family favourite with a wee kick to it. It’s such a quick and versatile French classic that lends itself to all sorts of delicious flavour alliances.
What’s more, it tastes even better next day! So, even although it’s quick to make, prepare this fondant a day before serving and you’re already prepared for tomorrow’s dessert.
French Fondant Classic
There’s nothing really mind-boggling new really. Based on a classic French flourless chocolate cake, a speciality of the Aquitaine region, the ratio is normally the equivalent amount (200g) of good quality dark (bittersweet) chocolate, butter and sugar with 4-5 eggs.
Over the years, however, I’ve lowered the sugar to appreciate the chocolate better – and, ever since I discovered Trish Deseine’s idea of adding just a tablespoon of flour “as an afterthought” (from her wonderful book, Nobody Does it Better), I’ve used this version and cut down the sugar. If you prefer to keep this cake gluten free, then omit the flour (or replace with almond flour).
This is my family’s favourite version with lowered sugar and added candied ginger.
Have I told you before about the fantastic candied (glacé) ginger we can get in France? The best hails from the market town of Apt in the Luberon (Provence), where it’s the world Capital of Candied Fruits. Apt Union is the address if you’re heading in that direction. Buy by the kilo, as it’s great value for money (incidentally, I see they only deliver in France). If you can’t find it, no worries – use stem ginger in syrup. It tends to be a lot hotter, so thinly slice it and add only as much as you dare! (update: I see you can buy candied ginger from Trader Joe’s, Amazon and Walmart in the USA)
Add candied ginger to chocolate macarons (as I do in the recipe in Mad About Macarons) and it’s the best surprise ever to bite into the middle of a fudgy, fondant macaron.
Back to the fondant cake!
Add That Extra Touch to Chocolate
As with many plain chocolate fondant cakes (including those chocolate coffee individual fondants), I adore melting a teaspoon of coffee granules into the chocolate. It brings out the earthiness of the chocolate and renders it extra smooth. If you prefer without the coffee, a couple of good pinches of salt (fleur de sel) is just as good, as I use in this recipe.
For spice lovers who want to go the full monty, then add a good pinch of cayenne pepper – you’ll see: bittersweet dark chocolate with cayenne is incredible!
A deliciously fondant dark, bittersweet fudgy chocolate cake with candied ginger for that extra kick - a French classic which can easily be turned into a gluten-free dessert by replacing the spoonful of flour with almond flour. Best made in advance and served next day at room temperature.
- 200 g (7oz) dark (bittersweet) chocolate No less than 60% cacao
- 200 g (7oz) unsalted butter cut roughly into cubes
- 150 g (5.5oz) sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt (fleur de sel) (or tsp coffee granules if making a plain chocolate cake)*
- 5 organic eggs (medium)
- 1 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour if gluten free, replace with almond flour
- 50 g (2oz) candied ginger (or one stem ginger in syrup, sliced)
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/360°F/Gas 4.
Grease a round cake tin (25cm/10 inch) and line with cooking parchment.
Over a pot of simmering water, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl (bain-marie) and melt the chocolate gently for about 10 minutes.
As soon as the chocolate and butter have melted, take off the heat. Add the sugar and mix together with a spoon, gradually add the eggs and then add the flour, mixing until just combined.
Place the candied ginger at the bottom of the cake tin then pour over the chocolate mixture and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven (don't worry if it looks uneven, it will flatten out while cooling) and leave to cool for about 20 minutes then turn out of the tin on to a serving plate.

* add a couple of pinches of cayenne pepper for that extra subtle dynamite.
Serving Suggestions for Chocolate Ginger Fondant Cake
Either serve on its own slightly warmed or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream, Drambuie ice cream or Parisian restaurant style with a classic vanilla Crème Anglaise.
Even better, this Chai Tea Creme Anglaise is the perfect match with just enough warming spice to complement the chocolate ginger fondant cake.
