An Island Reminder
It’d been calling my name for days.
But it was always at an inopportune time: the girls were with me, or I was going to be late to the class I was supposed to lead. A couple of days, I’d driven right past it with no legitimate reason for not stopping. Those days, I was afraid the emotional reaction it might cost. Most everyone will agree, after all, that healing usually requires a trek to the bottom of the well. Normally, I do a fairly decent job of confronting whatever nightmare may be plaguing me.
When the same nightmare plagues me for more than three consecutive nights, I will generally confront it on the fourth day. I rarely procrastinate when it comes to getting to the bottom of a sensitive, but important, issue. I have to call upon my entire well of patience if my companion is an adult and the discussion turns trivial: I often fail to understand why I’d choose to discuss the often exaggerated check-out magazine stories when there are still children in my own neighborhood that are in dire need of help. I’d rather read something like Room by Emma Donaghue, who’s very synopsis troubles me to my soul, than something by, say, Jeff Foxworthy (funny as he can be). Better yet, I’d ratherwrite something like Me or The Character than talk about anything not life-altering. I even play seriously, every block of time meticulously thought about and analyzed. So. Again, normally, I’d recognize I was supposed to do something important, and I’d do it, and if I felt queasy about the emotional road I’d have to take to accomplish it, I certainly wouldn’t use those qualms as an excuse not to do the emotional task. In fact, usually, I confront difficult tasks with very little fear. After all, I’m a survivor. I’ve already been to the bottom of the canyon and climbed back out. Furthermore, even calm survivors fight: they just don’t always do so visibly: engrained in the very fiber of my DNA is the knowledge of how to channel my pain into a fairly useful and constructive outlet: writing. So …. really…. what is there to fear?
Nothing. Except…. well…. God.
The power of God frightens me more than the power of Satan’s nightmares, the past, death or anything else. Not in a bad way, I hasten to add, but even when He does something with the intent to comfort, He does it in a way that usually brings me to my knees. If I put my hand over the Bible and pray for a specific verse, it is absolutely miraculous that out of the thousands of pages in my Bible, my hand will, almost without fail, randomly and blindly find the one verse that specifically applies to whatever situation I’m facing. The short form of this is that sometimes it’s the good things that scare me.
I’ve mentioned this in only half my blogs but it deserves repetition. At Christmas time, during my Junior year of high school, my family moved. It was traumatic time for me. My father was running (again) from the police and so we left the school that had been slowly healing places in my heart and went to Memphis. I missed my English and Psychology teachers painfully. Stackhouse was a blessing to me: he made me trulybelieve, for the first time in my life, that someone other than my mother and sister genuinely cared about me. Mercifully, I had lent him a copy of a book I’d written for him to read and so I used that as an excuse to write to him. I didn’t care about getting the book back; he could have it as far as I was concerned. What I wanted was to maintain that friendship. I didn’t expect a reply. But the day I received his two page letter that told me that he was glad because he “was able to give you a hug to show I do care about your welfare” I sat on the couch shaking as I read it. The letter was good. The letter was wonderful. But, until I read it, I’d been “fine.” I hadn’t broke down. The walls within hadn’t crumbled. I hadn’t given in to fear. But his act of kindness made the dam burst. It was so cathartic and healing and nice that it made me come unglued.
Kindness typically does that to me.
One year, at Fan Fair, I met a group of people who seemed to take me and my sister under their wing. They hung out with us, played games with us, wrote out “war plans” with us for how to attack the state fair grounds when those infamous gates opened at 9 a.m. (if you weren’t there, I’m sorry for speaking Greek). In short, they were nice to me. And I remember them. My ninth grade French teacher, and principal, allowed me to skip every Friday’s class so that I could teach third graders French: he didn’t know it then but he gave me the first opportunity to teach and, for that, I have never forgotten him. My fourth and sixth grade teachers allowed me to read books I’d written aloud to my classmates, which encouraged me and made me believe that writing was worthwhile, and that I was good at it. In fact, truth be told, I’ve never beendiscouraged from writing. Again, if you’ve read any of my blogs, you probably already know this, but it, too, deserves repetition: a stranger once held a door open for me and changed my life. I remember him. A radio disc jockey told me to come meet him. And none of these things even mention the even more significant acts of kindness from my family.
I can handle someone being unkind to me. But I can’t handle it when they go out of their way to be nice. It’s power that I don’t understand and don’t know how to respond to. It’s really just about the only thing that can breach the armor I’ve built around my heart. And no one does kindness like God does.
When God decides to show up, He almost always does so in a way that just burns my heart. When I was little, I had a secret weapon against the nightmares. I’d hold my hand out, palm up, and say a prayer asking Him to hold my hand. A few minutes after the prayer was over, I’d always feel an inexplicable heat settle over the palm of my hand. I knew it was God’s hand. And I’d be so afraid of falling asleep, because I was afraid that if I accidentally turned my palm face down, His hand might slip out of mine and the nightmares might come back. But they usually didn’t.
No one can convince me that Joey wasn’t sent by God to be in my life, for the few weeks that he was. No one can convince me that Breathe wasn’t an answer to a prayer, a miracle that was exactly what I needed at that time in my life, or that Alight wasn’t the direct result of a prayer I prayed. People usually quote God the Smiter, you know the one that smote all those bad people in the Bible, or offer up some awful natural catastrophe, like Hurricane Katrina, as evidence of God’s power. And, of course, all of those things are valid testimonies to His power abilities. But. When I think of God’s power, I don’t usually first think about God the Smiter. Instead, I usually think about the healing avalanche He puts my heart through when He decides to offer a small helping hand. When I ask for help, I’d be happy with a Sunny day or a day when not one fast food employee reacts irritably to my request for no pickles: I’m not really picky or specific; no heart hugs needed to make me smile. You see, it’s not that I’m immune to pain; it’s more like I kind of expect it and am thus prepared for it when it happens. Sincere kindness, directed specifically at me, on the other hand…. I don’t expect and am thus usually totally un-prepared for it. Especially kindness from God.
And perchance that is why I found myself apprehensive about heading the internal voice that told me to go to the prayer tower. It wasn’t insistent, it was more like a whisper. But every time I went to church or drove by the church, there it was: the desire to go to the prayer tower. Now, my church has a beautiful prayer tower, and I take it very seriously. I don’t go there just because it’s private and quiet and beautiful. Nor do I go there just to go there. I only go there when I have a real need to have a moment to step outside of this chaos we call life and meet God. It’s a place that you go when you need a specific place to converse with God: a meeting place of sorts. If you go to a place designed for an encounter with God…. well, you just better be prepared. And past experience told me I wasn’t prepared.
You see, the last few weeks or so have not been a particular walk in the park. On the contrary, they have been rather difficult. I don’t have a case to complain, really: nothing major has shifted my universe. But, all the same, a few particularly difficult issues and I’ve been left to wander around feeling a twenty pound weight settle itself slowly on my heart. I’ve been in the midst of promoting the book for a couple of book signings, I’ve been working the balancing act between being a teacher to Breathe but still finding time to just play with her while still finding the time to teach and play with Alight. I recently read a book that was the most difficult read at least of the year, possibly of the last five years, while simultaneously working on re-writing a novel. Pile onto all of this teaching two classes at church and a couple of events that left weights hanging around in my heart have all left me ….. well, just about done for. Like I said, it’s not much, and I know it. In fact, it sounds rather childish, really. Still, I can’t help but every now and then feel like I’m on a deserted island, trying not only to survive but to flourish. I can do it —- but then — well, if I’m the most clever, the strongest, the most creative of all the survivors in the history of the universe, but, like Tom Hanks in Cast Away, I have only a soccer ball named Wilson to talk to…. does any of my talent or strength or ability to survive really matter?
When you feel really bad, the slightest act of kindness can be traumatizing before it evolves into healing.
So…. it took me a bit longer than normal to edge my way into the prayer tower. As I walked toward it, I said a quick and silent prayer for Him to meet me there. I was sure He probably rolled His holy eyes at that: wasn’t He the one who kept whispering for me to get myself there already?
In I walked. Part of the beauty of the prayer tower lies in its silence and part of it lies in its roof, which is constructed out of all glass. When you look up, you see the bells in the tower and the tops of the trees and the sky. You feel very small. And when you look around you, all there are are kneeling pillows, boxes of tissue (appropriately placed) and a Bible. It is the quietest place I know of and yet it is also filled with a presence, all the time, and the essence of power. It’s really quite awe-inspiring and slightly intimidating. I knelt at one of the pillows and said a prayer, then my eyes slid to the Bible lying next to me. I sat up and then leaned back against one of the pillows. I slid my eyes to the heavens and told Him to direct my hand. It did, and the verse talked about His divine understanding. I nodded, and I thought that was the answer, that that was the reason He’d wanted me to come here: to remember that He wasn’t only powerful, but that He had sent His son to endure humanity, which means that Jesus probably felt overwhelmed at least a couple of times. Understand, He does. I was good. That was good enough of an answer for me.
But I didn’t feel like that was what He wanted to say.
Confused, I looked up toward the ceiling, and prayed, asking Him if that was the verse He wanted me to read or if I needed to read more. I felt as if that was the only verse He wanted me to read, so I put the Bible down. When I felt nothing more, I stood to leave. I’d taken a step and then turned around, toward the inner sanctuary of the tower. “I love You,” I said aloud and then, tears blinding my eyes, turned to leave again. I still wasn’t convinced that that passage I’d read was the reason I was supposed to be there, but I wasn’t sure what else to do.
I was in the midst of replaying the verse in my head, and had taken a few steps away from the prayer tower, when I realized someone was behind me. I turned my head, but saw no one. I thought it was my imagination. So I turned again and headed for the car. The presence remained. It was so strong it made me turn my head twice more to see if a physical human being was behind me. I was almost to my car when a line from one of my favorite poems boomeranged through my mind: “And where you saw only one set of footprints, that is when I carried you.”
The presence I felt shadowing me was real. God wanted to remind me that I wasn’t alone. I’m not on a deserted island talking to a soccer ball. He walked behind me the entire way back to my car. The sensation of being shadowed ceased the moment I got behind the wheel. But the dam had burst and warmth spread slowly through my heart. His act of kindness has remained with me even days later. When I can’t start to feel particularly bombarded again, when the urge to hide beneath the covers grows strong, I remember His gentle, yet powerful, reminder. I remember that sometimes it seems as though I’m alone—but I’m really not. He’s just carrying me to a place I can’t see yet.
In all honesty, we’re all kind of like little islands. Even the most social butterfly still leads her own life. She may come home to a family but she still makes independent decisions and choices. She still goes places by herself: she doesn’t share every single moment of her life with anyone else. Our pain is still our pain. And even those who have shared similar experiences won’t ever know exactly how we feel because our thoughts are different. Something that’s totally insignificant to me might be life altering to someone else. The fast food employee that’s irritated because I ask for no pickles might make me burst into tears but might just make you roll your eyes. I perceive the world a different way than everyone else does. And so do you. And everyone else too. If we’re gutsy honest with ourselves, sometimes we probably all feel like we’re talking to Wilson the soccer ball, going through the motions, accumulating a collection of grievances against the world. We’re all kind of like islands.
But islands are surrounded by water, and water is a life-sustaining nutrient. Sometimes the tide is low and the farther away from the shore; other times the tide comes in and covers half the island. For me, people are the water that surround my little island and every time I stop to recognize the small acts of kindness they bestow upon me, the tide comes in and I don’t feel so much like a loner. And when the tide goes out, and I’m left to collect the firewood, catch the fish and talk to Wilson, I’ll walk in the sand and smile at the greatest comfort of all: one pair of footprints.
FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”

The Pakistani army launched Operation Zar-e-Azb under US pressure in 2014 in a bid to wipe out militant bases in the North Waziristan tribal area and bring an end to the near decade-long Islamist insurgency that has cost Pakistan thousands of lives.
Pakistan’s Islamist insurgency began after the US-led invasion of neighbouring Afghanistan in 2001 which led to a spillover of militants across the border and a surge in recruitment for Pakistani extremist groups. | <urn:uuid:668f06d3-4e09-45fe-8727-982dffb92546> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://arynews.tv/en/air-strikes-shawal-21-militants-killed/ | 2018-06-24T22:42:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867095.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624215228-20180624235228-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.920821 | 304 | [

Plenty of airlines insist on potential cabin crew having no visible tattoos.
It’s part of a list of unusual requirements many airlines ask for when scouting for new flight attendants.
These include height and Body Mass Index restrictions, strict codes on piercings and specific swimming skills.
While some of these conditions vary from airline to airline - one is pretty much universally agreed on and that is a ban on visible tattoos.
But why can’t you have a tattoo?
On Tuesday the ECHO reported easyjet were on the lookout for new cabin crew in Liverpool.
And many readers were asking the same question.
It turns out tattoos are simply not part of the airline’s uniform policy.
A spokesman from easyjet said: “Like other airlines and companies, easyJet’s cabin crew are asked to cover up tattoos whilst at work in order to meet our uniform requirements.
“The various uniform options we provide to our staff allows our cabin crew to be able to easily cover tattoos.”
This means any inking that cannot be easily covered could stop you from getting a job with an airline, before you have even interviewed.
And it’s not just easyjet who insist on them being out of sight.
British Airways insist on the same but go further to say only tattoos that can be completely covered and not seen through uniform are allowed.
Nothing is allowed on the arms or legs and they also can’t be covered up using bandages or plasters.
A job spec for the airline reads: “As all our uniform shirts are white, you will be required to wear an appropriate white undergarment if you have a tattoo on your upper body.
“Please note that covering tattoos with make-up, plasters or jewellery in the grey areas is not permitted.”
There’s still time to apply to easyjet in Liverpool here .
If working for an airline isn’t for you there are plenty of local jobs available on Fish4jobs here. | <urn:uuid:c3a130cd-86fd-4111-b2cc-305f635df949> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/heres-you-cant-visible-tattoo-13402778 | 2018-06-19T01:25:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861641.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619002120-20180619022120-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.934203 | 422 | [

Zahel Orangetraube “Orange T” 2014, $21
I love finding unique varietals like Orangetraube, because it keeps my inner wine geek guessing. This German-born, Austrian-grown beauty come straight from Vienna! Originally picked from wild vines in 1840, it is rarely bottled as a single varietal wine. With notes of orange blossom, lemon and peach, and great acidity to keep it fresh, it’s a delicious and unique springtime wine. Zahel is the only winemaker to make wines from 100% of this aromatic and slightly orange-skinned grape. Delicate enough to go with ceviche or Thai food, yet hearty enough to stand up to roast pork. | <urn:uuid:0fb452cd-424e-4771-9744-7f8f846ab4db> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://amsterdamwine.com/carlos-pick-zahel-orangetraube-orange-t-2014/ | 2018-06-21T01:07:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621001211-20180621021211-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.906563 | 153 | [

Our season preview series wraps up this week with a look at the bullpen, the bench, and miscellaneous leftovers. Opening Day is one week from today.
Mariano Rivera is worthy of his own post, but he is just one of many when it comes to the bullpen. The Yankees used 17 different relievers last season, including ten for at least ten appearances. That is pretty much par for the course these days — they used 26 (!) different relievers in 2011 and 18 in 2010 — since no team ever makes it through the season without injuries or underperformance. In fact, the Yankees have already lost one reliever (Clay Rapada) to the DL and the season hasn’t even started yet. He is the first injured bullpener, but he won’t be the last.
The Setup Man
Over the last two seasons, soon-to-be 28-year-old David Robertson has emerged as one of the very best relievers in all of baseball. He’s pitched to a 1.84 ERA (2.15 FIP) with a 12.79 K/9 (34.8 K%) since 2011, all of which are top five marks among big league relievers. Robertson managed to curtail his career-long walk issue last season — career-best 2.82 BB/9 and 7.7 BB%, including just five walks in his last 33 innings — but I’m going to need to see him do it again before I buy that as real improvement. His track record of iffy command is too long to be washed away in one (half) season.
With Rivera back and Rafael Soriano gone, Robertson is the unquestioned Eighth Inning Guy™ and backup closer whenever Mo needs a day to rest. That means we’re unlikely to see him brought into mid-to-late-inning jams to clean up the mess, which is where he and his strikeout-heavy ways are best deployed. Regardless, Robertson is an extremely valuable reliever who will see a ton of high-leverage work. Outside of Rivera, he’s the most important pitcher in the bullpen.
The Lefty Specialist
The Yankees have had enough injury problems this spring, but one player who seems to have survived the bug is Boone Logan. The 28-year-old dealt with a barking elbow for a few weeks and didn’t get into a game until last week, but he appears to be on track for Opening Day. Logan threw a career-high 55.1 innings in a league-leading 80 appearances last summer, which may or may not have contributed to the elbow issue. Given his extremely slider usage — 51.4% (!) last year, the third straight year his usage increased — it would be foolish to think the workload didn’t contribute to the elbow problem somewhat.
Anyway, Logan has quietly emerged as a high strikeout left-hander these last two years, posting a 10.58 K/9 and 26.9 K% since the start of 2011. Despite the strikeouts, he hasn’t been especially effective against same-side hitters, limiting them to a .240/.309/.413 (.314 wOBA) line over the last two years. That’s nothing special for a primary lefty specialist — Rapada has been far more effective against left-handers — but he redeems himself (somewhat) by being more than a true specialist. Righties have hit just .243/.355/.386 (.315 wOBA) against him these last two years, so Girardi can run Logan out there for a full inning if need be. He’s definitely useful, though perhaps miscast as a late-inning guy.
The Middle Men
It has been two years since either Joba Chamberlain or David Aardsma has had a full, healthy season. Both had Tommy John surgery in 2011 and both had another major injury as well — Joba his ankle and Aardsma his hip — and both were pretty darn effective before the injuries. The Yankees will count on both as their pre-eighth inning righties this year, mixing and matching with Logan and Rapada (when healthy).
All of the team’s relievers are cut from a similar cloth and these two are no different. Both Joba and Aardsma are high strikeout guys with swing-and-miss offspeed pitches, the question is just how effective they will be following the injuries. Chamberlain, 27, was pretty bad in the second half last year before finishing strong while the 31-year-old Aardsma made one late-September appearance and nothing more. They could be awesome, they could be awful, they could be something in-between. I’m guessing we’ll see a bit of all three at times this summer.
Rapada, 32, will start the season on the DL due to shoulder bursitis and there is no timetable for his return. He’s been crazy effective against lefties in his relatively short big league career (.231 wOBA against), though righties have hit him hard (.453 wOBA). As a soft-tossing, low-arm slot guy with a funky delivery, he’s a true specialist. But damn is he good at what he does.
The Long Man
When Spring Training started, it was assumed the loser of the Ivan Nova/David Phelps fifth starter competition would move to the bullpen and serve as the long man. Phil Hughes’ back injury is likely to land him on the DL coming Opening Day, meaning both Nova and Phelps will be in the rotation to start the year. Long man replacements include 25-year-old right-hander Adam Warren and 25-year-old left-hander Vidal Nuno, the latter of whom has gotten talked up as a potential Rapada placement. He’s been, by far, the more impressive pitcher in Grapefruit League play. Either way, the long reliever job will go to Nova or Phelps whenever Hughes returns, which could be as soon as the second turn through the rotation.
Knocking on the Door
Beyond Warren and Nuno — starters by trade who are relief candidates by default — the Yankees have a number of legit bullpen backup plans slated for Triple-A. The two most obvious candidates are right-handers Shawn Kelley, 28, and Cody Eppley, 27, both of whom are on the 40-man roster, have big league experience, and have minor league options. Kelley is a traditional fastball/slider/strikeout guy while Eppley is low-slot sinker/slider/ground ball righty specialist. There’s a good chance one of these two — likely Kelley because Eppley was been terrible in camp — will crack the Opening Day roster as a Hughes/Rapada replacement. Right-hander David Herndon, 27, will be in the big league mix once he finishes rehabbing from Tommy John surgery at midseason.
Among the bullpen prospects scheduled to open the season with Triple-A Scranton are 22-year-old slider machine Mark Montgomery, the team’s top relief prospect. He ranked tenth on my preseason top 30 prospects list and should make his big league debut at some point this season. Montgomery gets compared to Robertson but that isn’t particularly fair even though he’s also an undersized strikeout fiend with a trademark breaking ball. No need to set yourself up for disappointment like that. Remember, it took Robertson two years before he finally stuck in the show and three before he became truly dominant.
Right-hander Chase Whitley, 23, and left-hander Francisco Rondon, 24, will both be in the Triple-A bullpen and one phone call away as well. Whitley is a three-pitch guy who projects more as a middle reliever than a late-inning arm, but he’s a very high probability guy. Rondon opened some eyes in camp by flashing a knockout slider after being added to the 40-man roster in November. He needs to work on his command and get some Triple-A experience before being a big league option, however. Whitley is pretty much ready to go.
The Top Prospects
Montgomery is New York’s top relief prospect at the moment, but right-handers Nick Goody and Corey Black deserve a mention as well. The 21-year-old Goody posted a 1.12 ERA (~0.89 FIP) with 52 strikeouts and just nine walks in 32 innings after signing as the team’s sixth round pick last year. The 21-year-old Black pitched to a 3.08 ERA (~2.70 FIP) in 52.2 innings after being the team’s fourth rounder last summer, but the Yankees have him working as a starter at the moment. He is expected to move into a relief role in due time if he doesn’t firm up his offspeed pitches. Both Goody (#21) and Black (#24) cracked my preseason top 30 and both are expected to open the year with High-A Tampa.
* * *
The Yankees have had consistently strong bullpens during the Girardi era, due in part to his willingness to spread the workload around rather than overwork one or two guys. The front office has (mostly) gotten away from big money relievers and focused on adding depth and power arms. Girardi got away from his strength last year because of injury (Rivera, Joba, Robertson for a month) and ineffectiveness (Cory Wade), instead relying heavily on his primary late-inning guys. That will hopefully change this year and the team will get back to having a deep and diverse bullpen, something they’ll need given the diminished offense. | <urn:uuid:16327e04-c52f-4a87-9b69-6a83f2f415ba> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://riveraveblues.com/2013/03/2013-season-preview-the-relievers-84004/ | 2018-06-21T00:54:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621001211-20180621021211-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.970265 | 2,023 | [

Nokia 3610 Fold clamshell is a close but entry-level cousin to the 3555 and similar phones with a near-seamless back claimed to be more comfortable than on normal flip phones. It won’t take your breath away in terms of interesting features, but it does possess the kind of charm that warrants a second look.
A 1.3-megapixel camera and Bluetooth put it above previous budget phones that often strip out one or both features. A two-inch 240x320 resolution screen is found inside, while a 1.36-inch display provides basic call
info on the outside. File storage is handled by 30MB of built-in memory and can be expanded with microSD cards up to 4GB in size.
The 3610 is available in blue, red, rose and green, with pricing set at 125 Euros ($186) before carrier discounts. While a North American release has not yet been announced, the 3610 Fold supports 850MHz calling and basic data necessary in North America and is likely to appear in the region when it ships
sometime during the summer. | <urn:uuid:cde2d773-7cba-4783-93be-f36f9dc7249c> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://technochoices.blogspot.com/2008/08/ | 2018-06-21T01:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621001211-20180621021211-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.931721 | 226 | [

Based on the results, High Schools were awarded a Gold, Silver or Bronze ranking. Here’s how North Texas schools stacked up:
Prosper (88th in Texas; 773rd in U.S.)
McKinney North (90th in Texas; 794th in U.S.)
McKinney High School (96th in Texas; 878th in U.S.)
McKinney Boyd (106th in Texas; 923rd in U.S.)
Allen (144th in Texas; 1543rd in U.S.)

I love summer at UBC.
The sunshine, the luxuriant foliage, the mountains and the ocean, the historic buildings – it all reminds me how lucky I am to work at this amazing institution.
Another thing I like about walking or cycling through the campus on my way to work at this time of year is seeing the hundreds of children who are taking part in UBC summer camps.
Right now, both the Okanagan and Vancouver campuses are ringing with the excited voices of children as they take part in all sorts of camps – everything from dozens of camps – including cooking, composing, cinematography and canoeing. (And those are just the “c”.s Don’t forget soccer, quidditch and lego design!)
Some of the camps are unique to UBC. For example, UBC Okanagan offers an Indigenous Summer Scholars Camp, a free program for 20 Indigenous youth aged 12 to 14. The camp is designed to build awareness about opportunities in higher education for Indigenous youth through interactive workshops that incorporate physical, mental, social, and cultural programming. At the UBC Vancouver campus, kids as young as 6 years old can learn about the marine environment in the Ocean Adventure camps at Acadia Beach. And who could resist (at any age) a camp called “Adrenaline Junkies”?
Besides the kids taking part in the summer camps, there are other young visitors at UBC this summer. For example, there are the Vancouver Summer Programs, which bring 300 students in June and 2000 in July to the Vancouver campus from around the world. The program provides the opportunity for students to take academic courses in various UBC faculties while learning about Canadian practices and culture.
Also at the Vancouver campus this summer are the participants in the SHAD summer enrichment program for high school students. The SHAD program was founded in 1981 and has since expanded to 13 university campuses across Canada, including UBC.
I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with the SHAD students this week. They’ve spent the past month living at UBC (you can check out the students’ blog at http://www.shad.ca/blogs/) and participating in an immersive program of lectures, workshops, projects and other activities focused on business, science, mathematics, and engineering. They’ve listened to guest lectures from UBC professors, business leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators. And they’ve applied their ingenuity and passion to one of the world’s most pressing issue – climate change – and have come up with some intriguing and innovative ways for Canadians to reduce their energy footprint.
SHAD alumni include Rhodes Scholars, Loran Scholars, Top 20 Under 20 nominees, and young leaders in many fields. UBC has been a SHAD host campus for 32 years now, we look forward to supporting and hosting SHAD for many years to come. I hope to welcome many of the SHAD participants as UBC students in the future. Their ideas and their ingenuity give me hope for Canada’s future.
In a few weeks, the rhythm of campus life will shift again as we get ready to welcome the thousands of new students and returning students in September. It’ll be an exciting time! In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer.

Dispatches documentry tonight at 10.30, channel 4 investigating British gangs grooming young girls for sex.
The programme highlights the grooming of young girls for sexual exploitation, an issue linked closely to internal trafficking.
True Vision describe the film on their website;
Later this month the Minister for Children and Families will launch an action plan outlining what the coalition proposes to do to tackle the problem of sex gangs grooming then abusing vulnerable children and young adults on the streets of Britain.
Recent research suggest that thousands of children are potentially being abused by street grooming gangs: and this may only be tip of the iceberg, as experts believe many crimes of this nature go unreported, partly because of sensitivities over race.
Dispatches reveals that over the last four years a disproportionately high number of men convicted of these crimes are British Pakistani. Our investigation also shows this type of crime has been going on for many years.
Tazeen Ahmad investigates why British Pakistani men are over represented in convictions for this pattern of crime, and hears from some quarters of the Pakistani community in the UK that say enough is enough, and that now is the time for decisive action on the issue.
She meets victims of grooming and their parents whose lives have been torn apart, in an attempt to understand how girls as young as 12 have been targeted by these gangs, and then so terrorised and brainwashed that they keep the secret of their ordeal hidden for years.
In a particularly shocking encounter she talks to two young Pakistani men who explain in detail how grooming by gangs is perpetrated, why virgins are more highly prized, and how the commerce of this type of brutal exploitation unfolds.
Analysing in detail recent cases in Derby and Rotherham, Tazeen meets police, charities and the father of two men convicted of these crimes, who speaks for the first time ever on camera.
She also attends a sex education workshop run by a forward thinking Imam, who has very forthright views on the issue.
This film asks if there are cultural, social or religious contributory factors; how the Pakistani community feel about it; how it is being exploited by the far right; how can it be policed; and what can be changed to protect young people from Britain’s Sex Gangs.

ELI-Lang means not only linguistic professionalism, but also passion for art. I offer you my paintings of various sizes and styles, able to match every occasion and room. What links them is their topic: the horse. A work from my collection will make an original present for your dearest ones, an elegant business gift or an interesting website motif. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I can guarantee you one thing: it will be a unique gift because a horse born in my imagination will not be found anywhere else.
I have already had three individual exhibitions in Gliwice, Poland, and participated in one group show in Katowice, Poland.
In my free time I also accept orders. I have already completed a series of cup drawings for an equestrian monthly, a few paintings for individuals, several portraits and some website banners. However, I take the greatest delight in carrying out my own ideas and they are what I wish to share with you first and foremost.
The works are made on professional Bristol board for artists as well as, in the case of smaller ones, on paper. My techniques include pastels, crayons, watercolor crayons, poster paint, pencil and collage.
The works are priced on request. Feel invited to make inquiries about art.
*In order to allow the Customers to choose their frames freely, I sell the works unframed. | <urn:uuid:885bb3de-5a2b-4dff-b6f4-fa6c27e30ef8> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://eli-lang.com/paintings/ | 2018-06-24T00:58:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865995.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624005242-20180624025242-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.965216 | 291 | [

Shaftoe Crags with its sweeping panoramic views across one of England’s best-preserved rural landscapes takes you back to Northumberland’s ancient roots.
On a clear day you can see forever – well, as far as the Northumbrian coast and across to the dark silhouettes of the Simonside Hills.
This remote area has changed little since the Romans and there are still traces of the earlier ancient landscape, from Iron Age burial mounds to hilltop settlements.
Two popular tourist attractions, Wallington and Belsay Halls, are near neighbours but a detour to Shaftoe Crags provides a rewarding walk for lovers of the great outdoors.
Start your walk near the main Bolam Lake visitor centre and take a detour to this landscape of small farms, craggy rocks and strange archaeological features.
Signs of the past
This gentle farming landscape with its sheep and dairy cows is peaceful with lush, green meadows and clumps of woodland.
But the countryside around Shaftoe Crags throws up many surprises and unsolved mysteries.
Early in the walk you’ll discover a strange rounded tumulus or burial mound dating from Iron Age times or perhaps earlier.
The exact meaning of ‘The Poind’ is unclear with claims that it means ‘property or possession’ whilst others believe it could relate to a pinfold or ‘pound for animals’.
The main stone was one of two rough-hewn standing slabs which guarded the entrance to the mound, but only a single stone remains. The other stone was carted off to nearby Wallington Hall in the 1700s where it can be found today.
The burial mound was also important during Medieval times when high spots in the landscape were used as ‘watch points’ or early warning systems to avert Scottish border raids.
Historic records show that night watches took place here in the 1550s with two men patrolling the area in case of attacks from Scotland.
The Devil’s Causeway, a Roman road, runs to the west of the mound, a sign of the strategic importance of this area to the Roman Empire. Some archaeologists believe the name may have come from the Anglo-Saxons who often attributed large Roman structures to the work of giants or devils.
Further along the walk you’ll arrive at the dramatic limestone edge of Salter’s Nick with its rocky outcrops and panoramic views of the countryside.
Next to this exposed rocky crag, there was once an Iron Age Fort although little is known about the people who lived here. The elevated site would have made this a great place to look out for approaching enemies.
The south end of the fort comprises a series of defensive walls and the foundations of round-houses. To its north you can see the remains of an Iron Age field system of Romano-British origin.
Look in the fields for the Victorian Jubilee stone and an ancient rock with badly worn cup and ring marks. Sadly, I missed both features because I was too busy fighting my way through the bracken and heather below the crags.
Shaftoe Crags is a great place for a picnic but keep back from the edge because there’s a sheer drop to the bottom.
Looking down from Salter’s Nick at the track below, you can imagine the smugglers who used pack horses to transport illicit salt into Scotland during the time of the Salt Tax in the 18th Century.
Illegally distilled whiskey was one of the goods that was brought back on the return trip from Scotland.
From the top of Shaftoe Crags there are excellent views across the surrounding Northumbrian countryside. Take a pair of binoculars and grab a ringside seat to make the most of the sweeping panoramas.
But a word of warning. This rocky crag is very exposed and can be windy as I discovered to my cost. A trip to the hairdressers is now needed to detangle my mad mop of hair!
In the far distance you can see the country estate of Wallington Hall, the popular National Trust property which was home to the Trevelyan family in the 1800s.
Walk further along the Shaftoe Crags track and discover the so-called Devil’s Punchbowl, an impressive outcrop of rock with a gnarled appearance.
This rock-cut basin is named after an incident at a wedding in 1775 when guests filled it with several gallons of wine. The groom was William Blackett who lived at nearby Wallington Hall. What a weird wedding booze-up that must have been.
The landscape becomes wilder at this point with heather and heath taking over from the lush pastures of the farms and fields below.
On the route back you’ll come across East Shaftoe Hall, a private house which is a grade 1 listed building.
Look out for the pele tower, a defensive building designed to repel border raiders. It’s a stark reminder that this was bandit country.
Boulders and climbers
Shaftoe Crags is full of oddly shaped, sandstone boulders so it’s no surprise that it’s popular with the climbing fraternity.
My feeble attempts to copy the bouldering experts proved to be ill-advised as I stumbled at the first hurdle – I couldn’t even manage the low-level rock indentations and finger holes.
This athletic climbing activity requires a lot of skill, practice and controlled physical strength. None of these assets I possess, even in small measure!
Top of the world
A short detour off the path takes you back uphill to a viewpoint with a trig stone and yet more stunning panoramic vistas across border country.
Once you’ve descended from this path, the landscape changes with pastures full of sheep, dairy cattle and horses dominating the area.
There’s a few surprises on the way back including a sheltered, stone walled garden and a dammed fishing pond with its own habitat.
As you walk through the open fields back to the car park, you’ll encounter a dairy herd with their calves but beware of the large bull that is roaming around!
This is a great, short walk that takes you back in time to Northumberland’s Iron Age and Roman history.
Archaeologists have found evidence of rock shelters used by early prehistoric hunter-gatherers who lived in this wild place. But there are plenty of hidden ancient mysteries still to be solved.
For today’s walkers this is the perfect place for a panoramic picnic and a stroll back in time.
Tammy’s Guide – Shaftoe Crags, Northumberland
Shaftoe Crags is located in Northumberland near Belsay village, close to the hugely popular Bolam Lake Country Park.
Look out for a well-made farm road which leads to a small parking area. The turn-off is next to Bolam West Houses on the main road.
Start the walk from the car park and back-track on yourself to see The Poind and his Man tumulus before continuing beyond the car park through the fields to the rocky landscape of Shaftoe Crags.
The 3.8 mile circular route around Shaftoe Crags is easy to moderate with a few slopes and inclines – it is generally fairly flat.
If you’re short of time there’s a 2 mile route around the crags which takes you to the main sights and viewpoints.
Alternatively, extend your walk by returning via How Burn and Shortflatt Tower. On the day we visited, Shortflatt Tower was hosting (Ant and) Dec’s wedding reception. Sadly, there was no invite for us!

Publishers, Libraries, and Digital Lending
One of the big issues for libraries in the future will be the adoption of e-books. There has been a subtle cultural shift in reading habits among our society; people are reading more through electronic access. This is not to say that individuals are reading less from printed materials. However, what I am saying is that people seem to be reading digital materials in addition to reading what they normally read in print. This is from my personal observations of people’s reading habits instead of anecdotal evidence.
I believe part of this shift is due to the increased use of mobile devices, but also to how new generations of readers are exposed to digital documents while they are growing up. As younger patrons grow up with these technologies readily available to them, the acceptance and expectation of these technologies develops into a social norm; if one grows up reading online, chances are good that you’ll continue to read online when older.
Wouldn’t this be a benefit for publishers if readers consume more information? One would think, but there are concerns from publishers that libraries won’t buy as many printed books and vie for the digital copy instead. Publishers say that ebooks do not take up shelf space,and they don’t have to worry about the physical wear and tear of an item. They do not necessarily have a faster turn around from customer to customer since most vendors have set amount of limited simultaneous access per book (e.g. one person at a time), and currently no way to “return” books early for other patrons to use (the loan expires after a set amount of time).
The later is one of my pet peeves–why have artificial access limits? This is just a mechanism for libraries to order more “digital copies” of a book (more money in the pocket of the vendor). Vendors, take note! You’ll have a lot more value to your product if these kinds of restrictions are removed, especially if you’re one of the few vendors who offer unlimited access to materials.
So why is there concern over people reading materials in digital format in addition to or perhaps instead of the print equivalent? Here is another important question to ask. Are the digital consumers the same group of people that are switching to print to electronic format, or are they an entirely different demographic unit (e.g. new library patrons that would not normally set foot in a library building)?
Libraries will continue to collect information whether in print or electronic format, but the real concern is for the publishing industry’s sheer existence should authors begin to publish materials on their own instead of going through the traditional routes. With the birth of the Internet, there has been a move to take the middle man (publishers) out of the equation, and to sell books and information directly to individuals.
Will publishers become an endangered entity? | <urn:uuid:e65a4c7d-5eba-44e2-ab7c-0e97aabbab20> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://libraryshoptalk.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/publishers-libraries-and-digital-lending/ | 2018-06-25T00:23:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867304.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624234721-20180625014721-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.945249 | 594 | [

makes 6 servings
For the crust
1/3 cup plain white flour
1/3 cup wholemeal flour
2 tbs sugar
1 tbs cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup coconut oil (chilled overnight or for n hour in the fridge until solid)
3-4 tsp cold water
- preheat your oven to 180 degrees and grease or line a small cake tin.
- sift the flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl.
- slowly rub in the coconut oil until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the cold water a tablespoon at a time and slowly gather the dough together into a smooth ball, using only enough water as is required to do so.
- press into a greased/parchment lined cake tin and prick all over with a fork. Bake for about 10 minutes.
For the cheesecake
4 cups pumpkin (cut into cubes)
1/2 cup non-dairy milk
2 tsp cornflour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup apple juice
1 tsp agar flakes
- Cook the pumpkin in plenty of water for 10-15 minutes or until soft.
- Drain and mash or blend it. Then set it in a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth and drain it for an hour until it is fairly dry and a lot of the water has seeped out.
- Drain the cashews and place them in a food-processor with the milk, sugar, cornflour and vanilla extract. Blend for a 30 seconds. stop to let the motor rest and then repeat a few more times until you have a smooth mixture.
- PLace the apple juice on the stove over a low heat with the agar. keep whisking until the agar flakes are completely dissolved in the liquid and then add this to the contents of the food processor along with the pumpkin puree. Blend again.
- PLace in the fridge for about 4 hours or until set. | <urn:uuid:84b2fcc9-e363-45e5-be9b-3aa3f75ea58d> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://keenskitchen.co.uk/pumpkin-cheesecake/ | 2018-06-19T04:46:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861899.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619041206-20180619061206-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.896952 | 426 | [

Defence officials in Tokyo told the Asahi newspaper that in addition to the harassment of Japanese aircraft, China has stepped up its probing of air defences in the region and the monitoring of military exercises involving units from the United States and Japan.
In the last nine months, Japanese fighters have been scrambled to intercept Chinese intruders on 44 occasions, the highest figure in the last five years and more than double the number for the whole of fiscal 2006, the defence ministry officials said.
In another deviation from their previous behaviour, the Chinese aircraft are not turning home as soon as they realise they have been detected but are continuing on their courses until they make visual contact with Japanese interceptors.
Chinese reconnaissance aircraft are also increasingly entering Japan’s Air Defence Identification Zone. Although this is not a breach of territorial airspace, it does inevitably lead to interceptors being scrambled.

A gangster ranked second-in-command to the imprisoned boss of Japan’s largest crime syndicate, the Yamaguchi-gumi, was arrested Thursday for allegedly extorting some 40 million yen from a man in Kyoto from the end of 2005 to 2006, Kyoto prefectural police said.
The arrest of Kiyoshi Takayama, a 63-year-old resident of Kobe, came amid an enhanced clampdown by Japanese police forces against the Kodokai gang, a dominant force in the Yamaguchi-gumi led by Takayama, before the release next spring of syndicate boss Kenichi Shinoda.
Takayama ranks next to Shinoda, known in the underworld as Shinobu, who became the sixth boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi in July 2005 and was jailed in December that year in Osaka for violating the gun control law. Shinoda hails from the Nagoya-based Kodokai.

Somali pirates hijacked a Japanese-operated cargo ship off the coast of Kenya, the only successful seizure in a weekend of a dozen attempts, a maritime official said on Monday.
The Izumi, operated by NYK-Hinode Line Ltd, was carrying a 20-strong crew from the Philippines, the Japanese transport ministry said in Tokyo. The 14,000 tonne Panama-flagged ship was en route to Mombasa carrying a cargo of steel, the operator said in a statement.
The ministry said it lost touch with the ship on Sunday, while Ecoterra, an advocacy group that monitors piracy off the east African coast, said the ship was seized in Somali waters, quoting NATO officials.
Andrew Mwangura of the Kenya-based East African Seafarers Association said the ship was seized in the early hours of Monday and it may take a few days to get to the pirate lair of Hobyo in Somalia.

St. Georg Church
|St. Georg Church|
|Location||Julfa quarter, Isfahan, Iran|
|Affiliation||Armenian Apostolic Church|
The St. Georg church or Gharib church is a historic church in Isfahan, Iran. It is the second oldest church in the Julfa quarter, after the Hakoup church, which is located inside the St. Mary church. The interior of the St. Georg church is very plain and there is only one old painting in the apse, but the church gains its importance from its annex structure, which contains 13 stones that Armenians brought with them from Etchmiadzin Cathedral when they migrated from Armenia to Isfahan. Because of these stones, the St. Georg church is one of the holy places for Armenians in Julfa. At the entrance of the church is a mosaic from Sultan Husayn's era depicting Jesus, Mary, and the three Magi bearing gifts. | <urn:uuid:97b09b0b-d926-462f-9025-7e32b2acfddc> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Georg_Church | 2018-06-20T04:35:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863411.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620031000-20180620051000-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.915641 | 202 | [

The Prime Minister has promised head teachers “the proper
powers within the classroom to make discipline count”.
Tony Blair told journalists last week that collaboration with
head teachers would be central to the government’s plans to
tackle poor behaviour. An education and skills bill was expected to
be included in this week’s Queen’s speech.
“I think it is a question of sitting down with the head
teachers and working out the right way forward,” Blair said.
“At the moment what we have done is we have provided much
better provision for permanently excluded pupils but, if I am frank
about it, that is only a small part of the picture and we need to
go far further.”
He insisted that parents should support schools’ efforts
to instil good behaviour. Citing the loss of respect in British
society as an issue that had come up time and again during his
election campaign, he suggested the underlying cause was a lack of
discipline in some homes.
“When a teacher tells off a child in school, the response
of the parent should be to back the teacher. The response of the
parent should not be to go in there and start shouting the odds,
because that is what gives the teacher the feeling that the parents
aren’t on their side.”
Blair’s comments follow those of David Hart, general
secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, who earlier
this month demanded more respect from parents and pupils. | <urn:uuid:2c176323-1c5b-431a-a530-f2413f3ca628> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.communitycare.co.uk/2005/05/17/pm-promises-teachers-more-powers-in-the-classroom/ | 2018-06-21T04:38:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864022.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621040124-20180621060124-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.956796 | 326 | [

Once the issue or story is done/completed, it is removed from the backlog and it can be viewed either in sprint reports or under epics. However Its very important to know all the stories or issue together for review purposes. for example if some featue is missed or not, which hard to catch if they are scattered in different places.
How can we see all the stories together whether done or not done, irrespective of epic too.
Assuming you want to also restrict it by sprint, you should be able to do that following this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILEKB/JIRA+Agile%3A+How+to+search+for+a+Sprint+using+JQL
And simply adding the JQL parameters to filter issues by "Done" or "not Done"

Barnes & Noble moved to shore up its struggling Nook Media division Friday, agreeing to sell a 5 percent stake to Pearson, a British publishing and education company, for $89.5 million.
In a sign of the headwinds the bookseller is facing, the company said in a regulatory filing that holiday sales were weaker than expected and that its Nook unit would fall short of projections for 2013.
The forecast underscores the difficulties Barnes & Noble is having as it tries to build out its digital business and compete in a crowded market with giant companies like Amazon, Apple and Google. Sales for the first generation of e-readers have been dropping rapidly as consumers shift to tablets that can offer other forms of media like music, games and video. Just this week, Amazon was trumpeting banner sales of its Kindle Fire tablet over the holidays.
By contrast, worldwide shipments of e-readers fell by 36 percent in 2012, according to a report released this month by IHS iSuppli, a market research firm.
“The market’s growth is slowing down,” said James L. McQuivey, a media analyst with Forrester Research, referring to e-readers. “The easy customers have been snatched up. And the first customers are the best customers, who buy the most books. In the case of Amazon, you can compensate by selling merchandise to later adopters. Barnes & Noble doesn’t have that luxury.”
Still, investors seemed to be cheered by the infusion of cash and the tie-in with Pearson’s large education and textbook business. That market has trailed trade books in switching to a digital format, and Barnes & Noble could benefit as education books catch up. It could also try to make the Nook tablet a preferred device for educational content.
Shares in the company were up 4.3 percent, closing at $14.97.
Barnes & Noble has tried to keep up with larger competitors by producing its own critically praised tablet and has claimed about 25 percent of the e-book market. But maintaining technological parity is expensive for a company that does not sell a broad range of similar merchandise. The chain has struggled under the burden of investing heavily in the Nook business over the last two years.
As a result, the company has sought partners for its Nook business for financial support. Last spring, Barnes & Noble spun off the Nook division as a separate company and sold a 16.8 percent stake to Microsoft for $300 million. In theory, Microsoft will help promote the Nook through its Windows software, although a significant push has not yet emerged.
Peter Wahlstrom, a senior analyst with Morningstar Equity Research, called the move “a net positive” for Barnes & Noble.
“Digital textbooks are a small, new niche market and a partner like Pearson can only help accelerate that market and that is important, but it is incremental,” Mr. Wahlstrom said.
Pearson’s investment in Nook is the latest in a series of recent steps the company has taken to focus on digital expansion and distribution of its education content and services. Higher education in the United States is already Pearson’s largest single business and in October it acquired EmbanetCompass, a provider of online learning services to North American colleges and universities, for $650 million.
That same month, Pearson agreed to merge its Penguin book publishing business — which does popular as opposed to educational books — with Bertelsmann’s Random House division, which further narrowed Pearson’s focus on educational books.
In a written statement, Will Ethridge, chief executive of Pearson North America, emphasized the advantages of the investment for the learning community. The deal, he said, “will allow our two companies to work closely together in order to create a more seamless and effective experience for students.” He added, “It is another example of our strategy of making our content and services broadly available to students and faculty through a wide range of distribution partners.”
Some analysts questioned whether Pearson was getting its money’s worth. In addition to its initial 5 percent stake in the Nook business, it has an option to buy another 5 percent. Pearson’s investment values the Nook business at $1.8 billion, more than double Barnes & Noble’s market value on Friday of $883 million.
Mr. McQuivey acknowledged the potential of the education market but said it had too many variables to be seen as a reliable source of revenue.
“In the long run, if you can make the educational market explode and you get schools to give to tens of millions of children Nooks and put Pearson education content into the Nook, then it would be a long-range strategy for customers,” he said.
Instead, he said that the investment might be an effort by Pearson to help Barnes & Noble stay in competition with Amazon.
Ken Doctor, a media analyst with Outsell, a research and consulting firm in Northern California, agreed that propping up a competitor to Amazon might be a motive, but he added that Pearson, with an investment of close to $90 million, was probably looking for more.
“That is why I think it is about preference and maybe really taking the Nook into an education leadership position,” he said.
Among the things Pearson might get for its investment, Mr. Doctor said, was preferential placement of its products on Nook home pages or even a say in how the device evolves over the next few years. | <urn:uuid:83797a18-6745-448e-8113-a463c64fe49d> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/12/28/pearson-to-take-stake-in-nook-unit/ | 2018-06-21T04:50:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864022.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621040124-20180621060124-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.966666 | 1,160 | [

Kohl's Cooks for Kids has hit the big screen!
Well, at least your TV and computer screens. After months of preparation, we are happy to finally share our Kohl's Cooks for Kids healthy eating video series.
The series includes two videos which highlight key points of the Kohl's Cooks for Kids program: the importance of cooking together as a family and eating fruits and vegetables of many different colors. Both videos feature children of Johns Hopkins All Children's hospital employees and Kohl's Cooks for Kids cooking class families. The young chefs did a great job showing off their acting skills.
We would like to thank all of the families that participated in filming as well as Kohl's Cares. This project was a great success thanks to everyone's support. | <urn:uuid:2aafe537-0756-46f1-97d3-81d9fe940889> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.hopkinsallchildrens.org/community/fit4allkids-fitness-nutrition/kohl-s-cooks-for-kids/videos | 2018-06-22T03:31:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864343.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622030142-20180622050142-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.961959 | 182 | [

I really love doing things for others. I suppose I am a nurturer by nature. In honor of my birthday, I wanted to do something special for my readers. But there is a itty bitty, small catch. I will send you a pair of sterling silver earring in your favorite color. However, you must send a Facebook request to "like" Hammi Jammi Jewelry to 10 of your friends....especially to those people who like fun, everyday jewelry. Feel free to send the suggestion to more than ten. If you don't have 10 people who you think would like Hammi Jammi, then please send the request to as many as you can.
That's not too hard now is it????
Just send me an email at [email protected] and let me know your name and mailing address and your favorite color. This is only a one day event. Don't delay; participate today!
Thanks for participating in my Birthday celebration! | <urn:uuid:46d1820c-f3d8-4a67-9e8b-89e2e2433415> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://hammijammijewelry.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html | 2018-06-23T04:33:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864940.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623035301-20180623055301-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.953168 | 203 | [

Do you remember which author turned you on to reading with a passion? From the time I learned to sound out words, I’ve loved reading. When I became mesmerized, though, was in fourth grade when I discovered Nancy Drew mysteries. How could I not love an author who drew me to follow in her footsteps?
The person I’m featuring today is not western, but she influenced a great many writers who have become western authors, including me. Under the name Carolyn Keene, Mildred Augustine Wirt Benson wrote 23 of the first 30 Nancy Drew mysteries. I had no idea, however, that she wrote many more young adult series. In addition to being a journalist, she was a prolific fiction author.
|Mildred Wirt Benson, Journalist and YA Author|
Benson was born Mildred Augustine on 10 July 1905 in Ladora, Iowa to Lillian and Dr. J. L. Augustine. She earned her degree in English from the University of Iowa in 1925, returned and earned her master's degree in journalism in 1927, the first student to do so there. She worked for 58 years as a journalist. She married Asa Wirt, who worked for Associated Press, and, after Wirt's death in 1947, married George A. Benson, editor of the Toledo Blade newspaper of Toledo, Ohio three years later; he died in 1959.
The character of Nancy Drew was dreamed up by Edward Stratemeyer, who provided an index card plot outline to Ms Benson. She took the plots supplied by the Stratemeyer and created an imaginative world of suspense that has thrilled young readers for many years. Wirt was the first ghostwriter to expand Edward's roughly-drafted Nancy Drew plots, writing the first five books. Texts were then edited and rewritten as required, and the Syndicate approved and had all final books published under the Syndicate's name. Subsequent Nancy Drew stories (with some exceptions), for which Wirt provided text, were all re-written by Edna Stratemeyer Squier and, primarily, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, after their father's death in 1930.
Published book rights for the Nancy Drew series were owned by the Stratemeyer Syndicate and are currently owned by Simon & Schuster. As with all syndicate ghostwriters, Benson was paid a flat fee of $125 at first and later up to $500 for each text, plus a Christmas bonus. At Edward Stratemeyer's death, under the terms of his will, all Syndicate ghostwriters, including Benson, were sent one fifth of the equivalent of the royalties the Syndicate had received for each book series to which they had contributed.
Ms. Benson was only 24 years old when she wrote the first book, THE SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK. She did not churn out a mystery every six weeks as has been rumored. According to her website, the time varied from just a couple of weeks to up to a month or 6 weeks depending on scheduling and how quickly the publisher needed the book. Also according to her website, her favorite of her Nancy Drew books was THE HIDDEN STAIRCASE. How I longed to find a hidden staircase or an attic filled with forgotten treasures. Never happened, but you probably guessed as much, right?
The Nancy Drew books originally had 25 chapters and about 200 pages. In addition to 30 of that series, Mildred Wirt Benson authored 14 Kay Tracey books as Frances Judd, 18 Penny Parker books (which she told a reporter was her favorite) as Mildred A. Wirt, 16 Dana Girls books as Carolyn Keene, 4 Penny Nichols books as Joan Clark, 3 Connie Carl books as Joan Clark, and 3 Madge Sterling as Ann Wirt. In all, she wrote 135 books under a dozen or so names while working full time as a journalist.
Ms Benston was inducted into the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame in 1993 and into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame in 1994. In 2001, Benson received a Special Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for her contributions to the Nancy Drew series. After retiring, in December 2001, she scaled back to a monthly column. She died at the age of 96 from lung cancer 28 May 2002. Mildred Benson was at work doing what she loved until the very last, they way she would have wanted it.
I'm grateful to Ms Benson for the part she played in encouraging me toward creating and writing my stories.

Choose your country and language:
WWith warm weather all-year round, Durban welcomes you to a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle where beaches, barbecues, seafood and curry restaurants, clubs and upmarket accommodation establishments provide everything you could wish for while on holiday.
Durban is South Africa’s self-styled “playground” where year-round warm weather welcomes everyone to make the most of the area’s natural outdoor lifestyle.
Also known as “Surf City”, Durban is renowned for its magnificent bathing and surfing beaches, which stretch along the city's beachfront from Durban harbour in the south to the upmarket suburb of Umhlanga in the north. An expansive paved promenade offers access to the best of these beaches – the Golden Mile – where joggers, cyclists, dog owners, surfers, body boarders and walkers enjoy early-morning and late-afternoon exercise.
YYou can’t miss Durban’s striking Moses Mabhida Stadium, the host venue to top-notch sporting events, Segway tours, a city-viewing SkyCar and an impressive bungee swing.
CCloser to the harbour, uShaka Marine World – a world-class water park, aquarium (with fish, dolphins, seals, penguins and other sea life) and restaurant complex – overlooks the ocean and offers hours of entertainment for your whole family.
Culturally, Durban exhibits a mix of Indian, Zulu and post-colonial influences, reflected in the city’s architecture and cuisine. Curries, seafood and fusion food are popular at beachfront restaurants, Wilson’s Wharf, and at the gourmet hot spots and coffee shops that line Florida Road and Helen Joseph Road.
The art deco-style Suncoast Hotel and Casino complex, flanking the promenade, houses seafood and curry restaurants, movie theatres, a casino and coffee shops – with secure on-site parking and semi-private beach access.
Shopping is best enjoyed at Durban’s out-of-city malls: the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga; the Pavilion in Westville; and the Galleria in Amanzimtoti. An overwhelming choice of shops in air-conditioned comfort makes spending money a most enjoyable pursuit.
HHalf an hour inland from the city, the Valley of a Thousand Hills promises a taste of African culture, while further into the countryside, the Midlands Meander features about 150 art-and-craft outlets for city-dwellers in search of fresh air and homemade fare.
Adventure activities are well catered for in and around this coastal city, with deep-sea fishing charters, dolphin viewing, jet-skiing, shark-cage diving, quad biking, scuba diving, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, boat cruises and much more readily available.
Durban is the centre of world-class sports and hosts major international events. It is a shopper’s paradise with entertainment and hospitality establishments, offering a wide range of accommodation from beachfront hotels to themed lodges, guesthouses, self-catering apartments and homely B&Bs.

After five years away, Scottish alternative rock band Idlewild return with new album Everything Ever Written, set for release on 9th February 2015. The band have posted the teaser trailer for the album via Idlewild’s YouTube channel. The band’s eighth studio recording represents a new chapter, both personally and creatively. Produced by the band’s guitarist Rod Jones and mixed by John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.) whom they collaborated with on their 2002 release The Remote Part and augmented by new members Luciano Rossi (piano, organ & vocals) and Andrew Mitchell (bass, guitar & vocals), Everything Ever Written is Idlewild’s most eclectic output to date. The album features twelve tracks of alternative rock woven together from strands of Scottish folk, Americana & Hebridean psychedelia.
“The album was predominantly written on the Isle of Mull,” vocalist Roddy Woomble explains. “The record soundtracks a period of transition. Working without time constraints gave the whole thing a creative freedom. Idlewild is a new band to me now; I’m excited for the future.”
Lead track ‘Collect Yourself’ premiered on Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6 Music show this evening and is available as an immediate download exclusively with album pre-orders.
In October 2014 the group completed a sold out acoustic tour of unique, intimate venues throughout the Highlands & Islands of Scotland, re-introducing themselves to live audiences after a half-decade break, performing re-worked versions of old songs as well as songs from the new album. The still, idyllic settings chosen for the performances hint towards the sense of space afforded in writing and recording the new album, which will be supported by a run of full live shows in spring 2015.
Exclusive pre-sale tickets (for the UK dates only) will be available to fans who pre-order Everything Ever Written before 7th November 2014. All European tour dates are listed below.
Everything Ever Written will be released on 9th February 2015 in the UK on digital, CD and vinyl. These and a limited, deluxe edition with exclusive live acoustic tracks recorded during the band’s recent Highlands & Islands tour is available for pre-order.

How is fitness app a big support system for being a fitness freak?
“Don’t feel shit, when you can be fit.”
Oldies these days don’t look like one. They have the perfect physique, shaped body, and flawless skin. What do you think how they have made this happen? By eating junk food, by sleeping all day long, by being a couch potato, by avoiding the gym and exercising? If you can understand sarcasm, you would know exactly what I mean. Everyone around is becoming health conscious and fitness freak these days. People these want to be in shape. I hope you don’t want to be left out. Well, the only thought revolving your mind would be hitting the gym, which would bring you think of the bulky bucks you would have to pay for the membership which brings you to the conclusion of dropping the idea and going to bed or couch again. What if you don’t have to pay a single penny and yet remain fit? Sounds, interesting? Want to know, how can this be possible? Health and fitness app is the answer you are looking for.
If you think exercising on your own is not your cup of tea, chuck off the thought instantly. The app works just like your personal trainer or even better than that. You just need to give it a shot and get started just like the herds of people doing these days. Not just mobile apps, but also the wearable app development company have observed the flourishing trend and started making wearable health apps. If you are still not convinced, here are some of the ways a health and fitness app can help you remain fit.
1) Variety of workout ideas (for free)
If you are devoid of time and funds both to hit the gym and afford a personal trainer, no worries. You have got your smartphone, get a fitness app and it will get you a plethora of workout ideas you can try right at your home. You just need to feed your personal details and your fitness goals and different types of exercise will be suggested to achieve that goal.
2) Get your personalized diet chart
You don’t even need to pay some bucks for the dietician as well. The fitness will ask for your current weight, height, gender, food habits and such other details and will frame a perfect diet chart for you to follow and stay in shape. You can improve your food habits, eat healthily and stay nutritionally wealthy.
3) One on one conversation with the trainer
If you are in any fitness dilemma or have any questions or queries, you don’t need to pay consultancy fees to the fitness trainer. The mobile app development company has integrated a feature in the health and fitness app to let the users have one on one chat with the trainer and redress the queries.
4) Keep a track on your progress
The app allows you to feed your daily diet and the amount of exercise done on a routine basis. The app will calculate the number of calories burnt or calories gained and would keep you updated with the changes as well. So, you don’t need to weigh yourself daily and measure your progress, your app will do that for you.

Housed in a grand old building to the North of the Old Town, the Latvian National Museum of Art is a treat for all but the most ardent philistine. The sweeping marble staircase and red carpet in the Museum's atrium provide you with the VIP welcome that an art-lover deserves, and the exhibits themselves are very impressive too. Admittedly many of the artists on show here could be accused of being derivative in terms of style but some great technical mastery is on display, and the room dedicated to the Roerich father and son combo is worth the entrance fee alone. These two wanderers went off to India and found enlightenment before developing their distinctive style.
Editor & Riga Local
A wonderful museum, currently being renovated, and due open in 2016.
I was in thismuseum in early spring and my experience with guards was pretty nice - they kindly answered to my questions and were not grim :)
Oh god, I just love the architecture of this building and also art masterpieces in it. Must see!
it is great
The museum has many unknown, but perfectly fine pieces. It's an excellent choice for a rainy day.
Really nice collection of XIX century vanguards. They have movements represented such as impressionism or cubism but from the Russian/Latvian perspective. Authors are not as well known as the French ones so paintings are still impressive. It well worths a 45 min visit. The building is also impressive. I wouldn't go party with guides eider, but felt that they where willing to help.
Impressive building but lighting very poor. Pictures interesting but need better (more varied) presentation. Attendants (guards)looked unhappy & grim. | <urn:uuid:7d202355-aeab-4d79-b20f-cb3de6a2c998> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.local-life.com/riga/culture/39-Latvian_National_Museum_of_Art | 2018-06-25T04:14:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867424.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625033646-20180625053646-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.964106 | 462 | [

Bursting with sweet, flavorful juice, Florida Valencia Oranges are America’s favorite juicing orange, although they’re equally delicious eaten out of hand. The world’s best-known orange, Valencias were named for the city of Valencia, Spain where oranges of legendary sweetness have been produced for centuries. The Valencias grown in Florida were hybridized by a California citrus farmer, but soon found their way to the Sunshine State where the thrived in Florida’s subtropical climate and fertile soil.
Their deliciously sweet flavor and brightly colored juice has made Florida Valencia Oranges the world’s premium juice orange and Florida the nation’s leading producer of Valencia Oranges for the juice industry. Valencias now account for 50% of the state’s total citrus production. With a season that runs from March into early June, Valencias are also the citrus industry’s premium late season orange and the only fresh-picked orange available during the summer.
You can tell you’re eating a fresh-picked Florida Valencia Orange by the seeds. A typical Florida Valencia Orange will have from one to six seeds. If you don’t find any seeds, you’re probably eating a Florida Navel Orange or Florida Tangerine. Florida Valencias are thin skinned and valued for their exceptionally high juice content. Only about 60 calories, a medium Valencia Orange provides 116% of the daily value of vitamin C, 13% dietary fiber, 10% folate, 8% thiamin, 7% potassium, 6% vitamin A and 5% calcium.
You may notice a greenish cast on the rinds of fresh-picked Florida Valencia Oranges. This in no way interferes with the sweet flavor or juiciness of the fruit and is not a sign of unripe fruit. Called “regreening,” the reabsorption of chlorophyll provides Florida Valencias with natural protection against sunburn, a necessity for a citrus fruit that stays on the tree for nearly a full year before being picked, 30% longer than any other citrus variety. Of course, the longer an orange stays on the tree, the sweeter it is which means that Florida Valencia Oranges are not only the Sunshine State’s juiciest oranges, they’re also the sweetest! | <urn:uuid:46aacef7-20f5-4573-aea2-a628739ac858> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://grovenotes.floridaorange.com/2014/01/29/florida-valencia-oranges-are-americas-favorite-juicing-orange/ | 2018-06-18T05:41:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618051104-20180618071104-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.911831 | 496 | [

Conventional hearing aids come with a lot of short comings. Loud noises making the wearer feel irritable, the awkwardness of wearing bigger sized hearing aids and many more. The CLOSE is an attempt at an alternative system to provide speech input to the hearing impaired by means of tactile sensations.
Fashioned like a stylish smart watch, CLOSE has been claimed to possess the capability to analyze and convert auditory signals into tactile sensations. It aims to achieve tactile communication by means of electrode arrays that simulates the feeling of touch on the wrist. The designers are confident that human brain could decipher these tactile inputs into speech patterns. CLOSE can also share information with a smartphone via Bluetooth linking.
The CLOSE concept would be a great invention if it could work perfectly as claimed by the designers. Because, not only can this be an alternative to hearing aids, but also help people with cochlear damage and zero hearing abilities.

Everyone is at a Mascarade trying to use their powers to become wealthier than the others. Every character has special abilities to use on their turn. In some games you would have to be that character in order to use those abilities. But in Mascarade you can bluff about what character you are playing as sometimes you might not even know what character you are!
There are three actions players can take on their turn. They can use one of the powers available in the game (not all characters are used each game) and then all of the players in order decide whether they want to claim that power as well. If no one else claims that power you use the power without revealing your character. If other player(s) claim they are also that role then everyone flips over their card and anyone who is that character uses the power and then everyone who lied pays a fine to the court.
Instead a player can trade or pretend to trade character cards with another player. By doing the trade under the table you are the only one who knows if you switched cards with the other player or kept your original card. Sometimes we get too absorbed in being sneaky that we forget whether we switched cards or not!
The last thing you can do on your turn is just look at the card you currently control. While this can be informative it is likely to cause players to trade with you before your next turn removing any advantage you had by knowing your character.
Mascarade is a fun game of trying to figure out what role you have or faking it until you can get the 10 coins needed to win the game. Lots of similar games require you to be able to lie or bluff convincingly,but this one can be won with just good manipulation of the characters! If you have a group of friends and are looking for a quick deduction game you can win without being deceptive this is a game to try! | <urn:uuid:72b927fd-482a-447e-ac6b-7506a97ed336> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.platypusgaming.org/news/2017/9/12/mascarade | 2018-06-21T06:48:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864039.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621055646-20180621075646-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.979029 | 382 | [

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease targeting multiple joints. The synovium is the primary site of the inflammatory process, which if untreated leads to irreversible damage to the adjacent cartilage and bone. It is now well established that autoantibodies that are characteristic of RA, including rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrulluninated protein antibodies (ACPA), are present before clinical disease onset. Studies in both humans and animal models are beginning to provide new insights into how this asymptomatic autoimmunity evolves into an inflammatory process that is localized in the synovium.
Once RA synovitis established, a number of amplification mechanisms serve to sustain the process leading to the persistence of the disease. These mechanisms include engagement of the resident mesenchymal cells and the establishment of ectopic lymphoid structures in the synovium, although the relationship between these lymphoid structures and the presence of RA autoantibodies remains unclear.
An enhanced understanding of the mechanisms that initiate and sustain RA synovitis offers unprecedented opportunities for therapeutics, and ultimately prevention strategies.
The transition from normal to non-specific inflammatory synovium and subsequently to established rheumatoid arthritis synovium is the result of a break in immune tolerance both systemically and at the level of the synovial tissue. The presence of circulating ACPA and RF years prior to the onset of clinical symptoms [1, 2] and early histological changes in the (presumed) unaffected joints of RA patients [3, 4] indicates that the early stages of this immune tolerance breakdown are subclinical. The importance of mediators of innate immunity in initiating synovial responses is being increasingly recognized. Recent progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms involved in bridging the innate and adaptive immune systems leading to persistent synovitis, however our understanding of these mechanisms is still incomplete. This review will describe the main histopathological and immunohistologic features of RA synovitis, and will address some potentially important mechanisms that may facilitate the initiation and progression of rheumatoid arthritis synovitis.
PRE-CLINICAL STAGE OF RA
Circulating autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPA) can be detected several years prior to the onset of joint symptoms [1, 2] and examination of pre-disease cohorts of patients at risk for future RA has suggested a progression in the fine specificity of these responses consistent with epitope spreading . This phenomenon has also been demonstrated in other autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus . Citrullination itself is not unique to RA tissues, and indeed is a normal physiological process. While the source of the citrullinated protein autoantigens in established RA appears to be in the synovium [7, 8], extra-articular sites such as the lungs , or skin , are also potential sources. Isoforms of peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD), the enzyme responsible for post-translational conversion of arginine to citrulline in peptides, are found in a variety of cells and tissues [11-17], however to date only PAD2 and PAD4 have been found in synovium [7, 18]. PAD4 expression seems to be more specific for RA tissue, however the expression of both PAD2 and PAD 4 correlate with the degree of inflammation. Thus the development of immune responses to citrullinated proteins as indicated by the presence of ACPAs is highly suggestive of a break in immune tolerance that precedes the onset of clinically detectable synovitis.
NON-SPECIFIC SYNOVITIS, IMMUNE COMPLEXES AND INNATE IMMUNITY
Studies of the earliest stages of synovitis have mostly relied on animal models of rheumatoid-like inflammatory arthritis and although the direct application/attribution to human disease should be interpreted with some caution, these studies provide valuable insights into early pathogenesis. In the G6PI (KBxN) immune transfer mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis, components of the innate immune system including mast cells [19, 20], complement , Fc receptors , and cytokines such as IL-1 and TNFα are critical for the development of synovitis. In this model, the formation of immune complexes appears to be an important initial step to allow pathogenic autoantibodies access to the synovium . FCRγ-expressing cells in inflamed synovium may sense these circulating immune complexes leading to an increased vasopermeability preferentially in the distal extremities. On this basis, it is proposed that distal extremity vessels may have unique properties and that the increased vasopermeability may also have an amplifying function in the early stages of synovitis allowing influx of inflammatory cells into the joint tissues. It is well known that immune complexes are present in blood and synovial fluid of patients with established RA, but their role in the early stages of the disease is less clear. It has been shown that in a significant proportion of ACPA positive RA patients these circulating immune complexes contain citrullinated fibrinogen . Immune complexes and citrullinated fibrinogen co-localize with complement component C3 in pannus tissue suggesting immune complex deposition and complement activation may lead to ongoing synovitis . Recently, Monach et al. demonstrated that immune complexes deposited in synovium target a wide range of proteins some of which are histones and relatively specific for RA .
The potential importance of immune complexes in initiating human disease is supported by an illustrative case report which describes the progression of an initially asymptomatic individual who was ACPA positive, and who subsequently developed synovitis . Although anti-CCP antibodies preceded joint symptoms, the development of antibodies to citrullinated fibrinogen coincided with the appearance of joint symptoms. On synovial biopsy of an affected knee performed soon after symptom onset, the lining layer was markedly abnormal whereas the sublining layer showed a histologically normal vascular pattern, and minimal if any increased cellularity. In the lining layer there was evidence of immune deposits of IgG, IgA, C3, and fibrin which co-localized with intra-cellular citrullinated proteins, and with widespread lining cell apoptosis (Fig. 1). This supports the hypothesis that pre-existing ACPA may access synovial tissue early in disease perhaps at the time of non-specific synovitis onset and that the synovial lining layer may be the primary target of the initial immune processes. It can be further speculated that the immune mechanisms generating ACPA are then amplified with continued exposure to citrullinated synovial antigens. In a similar case series of very early arthritis with a mean disease duration less than 4 weeks, perivascular CD3 and CD4 T cells and a mild superficial infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages were found, however there were no aggregates and vascularity was normal, again suggesting superficial structures such as the lining layer may be a primary site for disease pathogenesis .

Conceptual framework for the evolution of RA synovitis.
DENDRITIC CELLS AND INNATE IMMUNITY IN RA SYNOVITIS
Dendritic cells (DC) are key players in innate immunity and may initiate and/or perpetuate synovitis by presenting arthritogenic antigens to components of the adaptive immune system [29-31]. Activation and maturation of DC occurs after exposure to multiple triggers including viral and bacterial products, cytokines, immune complexes, multiple endogenous ligands, and even disruption of cell-cell contact and hypoxia . Myeloid DC (mDC), and the more immature plasmacytoid DC (pDC) express distinct patterns of chemokine receptors and Toll-like receptors (TLR) [29, 34]. Both mDC and pDC are present in inflamed synovial tissue, and are not specific to RA [35-37]. However the number of pDC is higher in RA synovium compared to OA synovium, particularly in synovium from patients who are RF or ACPA positive. This observation is consistent with the suggestion that pDC may be involved in the synovial immune responses leading to the local formation of RA autoantibodies. In RA synovium, DC are located in primarily in the sublining tissues near aggregates of CD3 and CD8 cells , and adjacent to blood vessels . Synovial pDC retain an immature phenotype and express IL-18 and IL-15, which may contribute to synovial inflammation and further DC recruitment, whereas synovial mDC produce IL-23 which may promote Th17 cell expansion . The proportion of mature mDC increases with increasing grade of inflammation , possibly reflecting ongoing recruitment and activation of DC in persistent disease.
FIBROBLAST-LIKE SYNOVIOCYTES AS MEDIATORS OF INNATE IMMUNITY IN RA SYNOVITIS
RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) express several TLR, suggesting they may contribute to the innate immune responses initiating and/or perpetuating RA synovitis. TLR3 and TLR4 in particular are highly expressed in RA synovium, even at an early stage of disease, and are found predominantly in the lining layer, occasionally extending into the sublining and perivascular areas . TLR3 stimulation of RA FLS leads to increased expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, and to matrix degrading enzymes such as MMP3 and MMP13 . A number of endogenous ligands stimulate TLR pathways in RA FLS , and can thus serve to activate these cells.
TRANSITION FROM EARLY NON-SPECIFIC SYNOVITIS TO ESTABLISHED RA SYNOVITIS
Key histological features of RA including synovial lining layer hypertrophy, sublining infiltration with mononuclear cells, increased vascularity and fibrin deposition are seen in patients reporting as little as 6 weeks or less of symptoms and in the unaffected joints of patients with active synovitis [3, 4], whereas organized lymphoid follicles and pannus tissue are features generally associated with established RA synovium (Fig. 2). As previously described, abnormalities of the synovial lining layer may be a very early feature of synovitis. Even in early clinical disease, the surface of the lining layer is often covered with fibrin deposits generated from the activation of the fibrinolytic system by synovial fluid. Indeed, the lining layer may be completely replaced by a fibrin cap, and in highly inflamed tissues this fibrin can extend deep into the sublining layers. In very early disease the sublining infiltrates may be minimal or modest [27, 28]. At this stage, macrophages , and an infiltration by natural killer cells has been described . Diffuse mononuclear infiltrates and small lymphoid aggregates are seen in both early and late RA. However, as discussed in detail below, aggregates resembling lymphoid follicles with germinal centers are typically seen only in well established disease. The synovium obtained from ACPA positive RA patients tends to have more ectopic germinal centers and reduced fibrosis compared to synovium from ACPA negative patients, regardless of disease duration [41, 42], although other studies could not confirm these observations [43-45]. Pannus, the highly destructive tissue present at the interface between synovium, cartilage, and bone is a characteristic feature of erosive RA and contains large numbers of macrophages and fibroblasts that express high levels of proteases. Osteoclasts derived from pannus tissue can be detected at the interface of bone and cartilage (Fig. 3).
Vascular patterns are also established early in disease and may serve to distinguish RA from other non-RA arthropathies [46, 47]. In established RA, vascular structures are prominent especially in the deep sublining areas presumably related to increased angiogenesis. Immature blood vessels can be found early in disease but are even more numerous in patients with erosive disease of longer duration indicating ongoing angiogenesis . Despite evidence of angiogenesis, morphometric studies indicate there are relatively fewer blood vessels in sites adjacent to the expanded lining layer which when combined with the increased metabolic demands of the highly cellular structures, suggests relative hypoxia . Hypoxia is a potent stimulus for the production of VEGF and other angiogenesis mediators which are highly expressed in inflamed RA synovium [50-52]. The vascular endothelium is activated by pro-inflammatory mediators to express adhesion molecules such as E-selectin, P-selectin, and ICAM1 that are involved in the recruitment of inflammatory cells. Synoviocytes also express adhesion molecules including VCAM1, VLA4, PECAM1 and ICAM1. These molecules are expressed equally in synovium from patients with early (<1 year symptoms) and late RA . It is likely that adhesion molecules play a role in initiating and maintaining synovial infiltrates by recruiting inflammatory cells through the endothelium and then retaining inflammatory cells in the synovium through adherence to matrix cells and other synovial structures.
Histological comparisons of synovial tissue obtained from patients that have been matched for disease activity and treatment have shown no difference in cellular infiltration between those with early (<1 year) or late (>5 years) disease [54, 55]. Similarly, cytokine expression and adhesion molecule expression is similar between early and late disease. This supports the hypothesis that the earliest synovial pathology is subclinical, the duration of subclinical disease may be variable and that at the time of symptom onset, clinical assessment and subsequent tissue biopsy, the synovitis is already in a chronic stage . In the absence of serial sampling of joints that progress from asymptomatic to minimally symptomatic to definite clinical synovitis to erosive synovitis it is difficult to assess the true histological progression of disease. Such studies are difficult to perform.
ECTOPIC LYMPHOID NEOGENESIS IN RA SYNOVIUM
One of the important unanswered questions in RA pathogenesis is how the systemic autoimmunity that precedes the clinical onset of RA becomes localized and amplified in the joints. To address this key question, a number of studies have aimed to develop a better understanding of ectopic lymphoid neogenesis, a process whereby lymphoid structures resembling those present in secondary lymphoid tissues become established in target tissues such as RA synovium. Research in this area has generated a number of important observations:
- Fully developed lymphoid aggregates with functional germinal centres are found in ~25% of RA synovial tissue samples, typically those derived from individuals with well established disease [44, 45, 58-62]. One hypothesis has suggested that the capacity to form these ectopic lymphoid structures in the synovium is an inherent property of the disease process in a subset of RA patients and one that is retained throughout the duration of the disease [60, 62]. Other viewpoints suggest that these structures are a non-specific reflection of the chronicity and severity of the disease, are not indicative of a unique immunopathologic process in a subset of RA patients [44, 45, 61] and may be reversible . It should be added that ectopic lymphoid structures are by no means unique to rheumatoid synovitis, and have been well described in a spectrum of other chronic autoimmune diseases.
- Several key cytokines and chemokines have been shown to be involved in the formation of ectopic lymphoid structures in the synovium. These include CXCL13, CCL21, LTα,β [62-65]. The chemokine CXCL13 has been of particular interest since it is important in the recruitment of B cells, and was shown to be actively produced by antigen experienced synovial helper T cells .
- A recent detailed study of RA lymphoid aggregates indicates that synovial tissues with follicular structures characterized by the presence of follicular dendritic cell (FDC) networks express activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), the enzyme required for somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination of Ig genes . These structures were found to be spatially associated with plasma cells that produce ACPA. Moreover, elegant experiments where human RA synovium was transplanted into SCID mice provided compelling evidence that these AID positive FDC structures support ongoing production of class-switched ACPA which were detectable in the sera of the mice, without any requirement for further recruitment of immune cells, particularly B cells, into the lymphoid structures. While this study provides evidence that ectopic lymphoid structures in the RA synovium are functional and support autoantibody maturation and production, several other large studies have failed to demonstrate an association between ectopic lymphoid structures in the synovium and B cell autoimmunity in RA [43-45]. In particular, ectopic lymphoid neogenesis is described in RF and ACPA negative RA , and in psoriatic arthritis . Thus, it remains a challenge to clearly define the pathogenic significance of these synovial lesions, which are characteristic although not specific for RA.
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN IMMUNE CELLS AND RESIDENT MESENCHYMAL CELLS IN THE SYNOVIUM
Irrespective of how the mononuclear cell infiltrate is arranged in the synovium, be it diffuse, aggregated, or with germinal centre formation, there is clearly close interaction between immune competent cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and DC with resident mesenchymal cells of the synovium such as FLS. The interactions between these cells are meditated by complex cytokine networks and by signaling events resulting from direct cell to cell contact. Much has been written about the former, as the study of cytokine effects on various cell types lends itself well to in vitro manipulation and experimentation. For example, the effects of key pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFa and IL1b have been exhaustively studied and exploited therapeutically. More recently, the recognition of the key pro-inflammatory role that the T cell cytokine IL-17 plays in RA synovitis, has generated similar investigative activity to better define the effects of this cytokine on cells in chronic inflammatory microenvironments such as the RA synovium (reviewed in [66, 67]).
In contrast to defining the effects of cytokines such as TNFa, IL-1b, and IL-17 on cell biology, the effects that are mediated by cell-cell contact are more subtle, and more difficult manipulate in vitro. The close in vivo juxtaposition of T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and FLS in the synovial microenvironment suggests that the signaling events mediated by direct cell-cell contact between these cells likely involve multiple partners simultaneously, a situation that is difficult to simulate in vitro. Nevertheless, an interesting recent study demonstrated that in vivo activated CD14+ monocytes derived from the inflamed joints of patients with active RA spontaneously and specifically promoted Th17, but not Th1 or Th2 responses, compared with resting CD14+ monocytes from the blood. These in vivo activated monocytes promoted Th17 responses in a cell-contact dependent manner, and unlike Th17 stimulation by monocytes that were in vitro activated with lipopolysaccharide, intracellular IL-17 expression was TNF-alpha- and IL-1beta-independent. These data suggest that newly recruited memory CD4 T cells can be induced to produce IL-17 after cell-cell interactions with activated monocytes in the synovium . This mechanism may be particularly relevant in explaining the incomplete responses observed with TNFa inhibition and the recurrence of disease with withdrawal of therapy.
The interactions between immune/inflammatory cells and FLS are of particular interest since they are an important link between the inflammatory and destructive arms of RA synovitis. RA T cells, which have been shown to exhibit extensive features of premature senescence , aberrantly express the fractalkine (FKN) receptor CX3CR1 which interacts with FKN expressed on FLS. This interaction results in activation and enhanced survival of the T cells , as well as proliferation of the FLS . A parallel interaction is mediated through the aberrant expression of natural-killer group 2, member D (NKG2D) and its ligand MIC expressed on FLS . Such self-sustaining amplification loops between synovial T cells and FLS potentially plays a key role in the perpetuation of RA synovitis, while increasing its destructive potential.
Much has been learned over the past two decades about the biology of FLS and how they become “transformed” in the RA synovial microenvironment to become efficient matrix degrading cells that make a major contribution to the articular damage seen in RA joints. An important recent insight has been the identification of cadherin 11 as the adhesion molecule that mediates the homotypic aggregation of FLS in the synovial lining layer [73-75]. These studies have clearly shown that cadherin 11 is an important mediator of RA FLS invasiveness, and that inhibition of this molecule results in a dramatic amelioration to the articular damage caused by chronic synovitis. Additionally, SCID mouse studies have demonstrated the ability of human RA FLS to migrate and damage distal unaffected human cartilage in a process that may be facilitated by angiogenesis. Therapeutic exploitation of these observations may add substantially to the current armamentarium, which is focused primarily on inhibiting inflammatory mediators and cells rather than matrix degrading FLS.
Recent insights obtained from animal models and studies of early and established RA synovial tissues have suggested potential mechanisms by which normal immune tolerance is interrupted leading to autoimmunity (Fig. 4). A non-specific insult could potentially trigger local innate immunity heralding the onset of clinical synovitis. In the setting of autoimmunity this inflammation persists leading to the formation of organized lymphoid structures and angiogenesis which serve to sustain the inflammatory synovium. In time, mesenchymal transformation and osteoclastogenesis lead to the destructive lesions characteristic of established RA. This paradigm suggests steps at which targeted intervention has the potential to significantly alter the course of disease and identifies structures and mechanisms which may be predictive of disease outcome or treatment response.

Pinterest is full to the brim with images of new parents proudly showing off images of their nurseries. However, there is a new nursery type that new parents living in tight spaces might already be familiar with – the corner nursery. The corner nursery is rapidly popping up in cities like New York, Paris, and Sydney, where parents are either putting off upsizing until it’s absolutely necessary or mothers are not keen on moving while pregnant.
Having a baby in your bedroom doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your sanity and sense of style. In fact, many mothers claim they sleep better when sharing a room with the baby instead of relying on a baby monitor. If you are considering placing your baby in the corner, whether as a first time parent or it’s baby number six, here are a few space-saving ideas that will help.
Not everyone has the luxury of building their own new home on a narrow block of land like these ones http://www.visiononehomes.com.au/home-designs/narrow-lot-two-storey-house-plans-designs, but if you follow the KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) principle you can easily work with what you already have. In other words, Keep It Simple Stupid if you are working with a small space. Consider using a neutral palate to maximize on the available space and make your bedroom look bigger. When you have a clutter free room, it makes it possible to live even in the smallest of quarters.
Use a Rug
Lay down a rug to divide your room, giving parents a tranquil setting while at the same time creating a divider from the baby. In addition, the rug you install will absorb sounds, quite literally making it safe to tiptoe around the baby’s sleeping schedule. If you are willing to invest, consider buying a high-end rug with a neutral shade that works with various color schemes and patterns, and will last for many years.
Use Alcoves and Nooks
As long as your closet is sturdy and safe, create a little nook for your baby in the empty alcove. This strategy works fine for changing tables and cribs as well. You can then easily convert the closet back once your baby has graduated to having his or her own room.
Use a Double-Duty Dresser
If you are not lucky enough to build your own new home on a narrow block of land, you may have to sell or store away unnecessary furniture. However, consider using your sturdy, low dresser as a changing table or as a bedside table. A portable changing station that is designed for use on the bed or floor will also work well.
Take some pressure off the closet by having a shop on your wall. Use storage accessories available at either online or physical stores, or even use a standard closet rod. You should also consider adding a second closet bar in your closet to handle the extra load.
Use Sheer Curtains
At first glance, sheer curtains may not seem like they provide much in terms of privacy. However, where they fall short in opaqueness, they offer you light billowy effects that will cause your room to look airy. The curtains are cheap and easy to install, perfect for creating that temporary dividing space between the sweet baby’s digs and sleepy new parents.
Use Large Sturdy Furniture
While you love your little bundle of joy, you still occasionally need and deserve some form of privacy. If you have the space, consider turning your bed’s headboard to face the window or wall and place a piece of furniture, like an armoire, at the foot of the bed. Bookshelves would also work; but make sure that they are secured.
Upcycle Your Furniture
Have you considered turning that old armoire in the corner into a changing station? You can use the drawers for supplies and clothes, and you can easily convert the unit into something else as your baby grows. | <urn:uuid:e9d19e5c-16bb-48bb-8a44-78dfc77cf961> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.sortra.com/for-new-parents-space-saving-ideas-for-the-corner-nursery/ | 2018-06-22T07:26:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864364.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622065204-20180622085204-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.940606 | 820 | [

We're starting the new year with a question for the group: We need a new name for the launch center. Mama McNabb had her run. Al Davis' time has expired. We got R-U-N-N-O-F-T by the 7-Up people.
So who's next? Is there a tribute we owe or a person/thing/team we should mock? Thoughts?
So, for at least one more day, from the "Mama McNabb stage at the Al Davis studio" here we go.
First off, let's welcome back some of our new friends from the Great Northwest. There were more than a few Washington fans who took umbridge to the fact that the 5-at-10 said Tennessee is a better program than Washington. They are more than welcome to take offense to that, but we stand by that statement. Everyone make them feel at home (BIspy put your shirt on, and jefe get your feet of the table), and as always we love the feedback.
That said, we should have done a better job of conveying that defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox and linebackers Peter Sirmon leaving the UT staff for the same jobs at Washington certainly appears that the Huskies' current situation under head coach Steve Sarkisian has more upside and/or more stability than the current situation in Knoxville. Sarkisian is a hot-shot coach who has Washington coming off back-to-back bowl trips, and he needs defensive help (allowing more than a third of a mile to Baylor in the Alamo Bowl made that clear). Wilcox and Sirmon will certainly deliver that.
On Tuesday, Derek Dooley met with the media for the first time in 37 days. It was a reminder of a few things:
1) Dooley needs to get in front of the camera more. He dominates news conferences like they were Kentucky. Oh wait, scratch that. He dominates news conferences like they were Cincinnati.
2) Dooley's message of excitement and his Kevin Bacon in "Animal House" statement of "All is well," were believable, but so is the fact that his two best assistant coaches high-tailed it for Washington. And yes, they are from the Great Northwest (Sirmon is from Washington; Wilcox is from Oregon) and we don't know how much they were offered (but money-whipping assistant coaches has never been a problem for UT). On its face, though, the move seems to be as much about Tennessee as it does about Washington, especially for Wilcox, who turned down the DC gig at Texas last January. (And, yes, we know there are a ton of Washington fans debating whether to send another round of e-mail insults about how U of W stacks up against Tennessee, but even they have to admit that Texas is a better program than Washington. Or maybe they don't. That's why we love college sports, so much.)
The 5-at-10 feels the truth is most often found in the middle. Things may not be as dire in Knoxville as some believe, and there are countless reasons beyond program tradition and even money for coaches to relocate. But things are not as rosy as Dooley made out Tuesday, either. In fact, Dooley recognized as much, acknowledging the outside fret and public perception woes facing the Vols before adding that the program is in "the last 22 months, on as good a foundation as we could ever do." OK, but the last four years have been the low-water point for the Vols of the modern generation, so saying the Vols are in the best place in the last 22 months is not unlike picking a Republican presidential candidate. Yes, this may be the best of the lot, but it's the best of a pretty bad lot, so calling it the best seems hollow. Like picking the best Rob Schnieder movie. (And "The Waterboy" is an Adam Sandler movie that Schnieder appears in.) Let's move along.
3) Dooley discussed some interesting items in regard to the roster. The PR nightmare that was the DeAnthony Arnett transfer fiasco has been put to bed. Da'Rick Rogers appears to be in good standing. And there likely will be some roster moves next week when spring semester starts.
Here's hoping that Dooley addresses those directly next week, if for no other reason than that seems to be the arena he's most comfortable in.
If the college football season had names like the Chinese New Year (Year of the Dragon, Year of the Dog, etc.), this would certainly be Season of the Kicker.
How many big moments have been decided by wayward kicks this season? Alabama-LSU. Boise State not being in the title game. Oregon's loss to USC. Bowl loses for Georgia, Stanford and Virginia Tech hinged on overtime field goal misses. (We're certain there's more, but we had to stop and answer another hate e-mail from a Washington fan about how great Don James was and how their program is equal to Tennessee's.)
Alas, it has never been a better time to be a good kicker. There has to be teams lined-up for your services. So it goes.
On to the Winners/Losers Bowl-a-palooza Challenge. Here's the standings, and remember it's still wide open since missing a pick is negative points. It's not unlike double jeopard, where the scores can really change. Shoutout to our man CJoyner would rolled through the New Year's Eve bowls and steamed into 2012. Well-played indeed. At the other end of the spectrum, C-Vol has the inside track for the last-place prize. Well-played... or poorly played, however you want to view it.
These scores include the overtime thriller last night when Virginia Tech allowed Michigan to win the Sugar Bowl. Enjoy, and thanks for playing:

Let's breakdown the first round of the NFL playoffs, and know this: The 5-at-10 may take out a loan on some of his picks this week. (Excuse me, those picks are for entertainment-only of course. Nevermind, and move along officer.)
We'll discuss the Falcons by themselves tomorrow, and there are a couple of NFL questions already in Friday's mailbag (and there's still some room, however, so even if you want to know our thoughts on Steve Entman, the most-underrated college defensive lineman of all-time, send them along).
The NFL is a quarterback-driven league. You know this, we know this, Washington fans know this, heck, there's a reasonable chance that even Joe Buck knows this. With that in mind, here's our free investment advise for the weekend:
Pittsburgh minus-8.5 at Denver (Total 34.5): Get the Steelers as soon as possible, because this line will only go up. There's no way this is not a 24-7 final. Or 30-7. Hey, we've never been pro-Tim Tebow or anti-Tim Tebow. He seems to be a great kid who works harder than everyone else and inspires his teammates. He also does not throw the football very well. And intangibles and grit are not enough against a Steelers defense that is awesome in its awesomeness. Think of it this way: Tebow and Co. managed 3 points against only a partially motivated Chiefs team that was banged up last week. Is there anyway to expect them to generate more than that against a win-or-go-home Steelers club?
Cincinnati plus-3 at Houston (38): Buy the half and give us the Bengals. Quick. Texans rookie T.J. Yates and his injured shoulder will make his first playoff start. Granted Bengals rookie Andy Dalton will also be making his first playoff start, but Dalton has been Cincy's QB1 from training camp. Yates started the season as Houston's No. 3 quarterback and has been forced into duty because of injury. Side note: We like the under in this one, too.
New Orleans minus-10.5 against Detroit (59): Tougher call here, because both quarterbacks had big-time years. Did you know that Detroit's Matt Stafford and New Orleans' Drew Brees are two of the four quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 5,000 in a season, and they did it this year and they're facing off in a first-round playoff game? Strange huh? That said, there's another group of four that Stafford is a part of - there are four quarterbacks making their NFL playoff debuts this weekend. And here's saying that three of them will go home with losses.
This and that
- OK, Kentucky trailed at halftime to Arkansas-Little Rock last night before cruising after the intermission for a 73-51 win. On a scale from "Mr Rogers" to "Nuclear meltdown" where do think Wildcats coach John Calipari's halftime speech ranked?
- The Lady Mocs went to Knoxville last night and got to see how dominant the UT Lady Vols can be.
- Boise State reportedly has offered Chris Peterson a five-year extension. Good move to lockdown a guy that is always on the short list of the names tossed out by the big-time programs when jobs come open. That said, let's see how the Broncos do without Kellen Moore and a group of seniors that contributed to 50 wins in a record-breaking four-year run.
- Gene Bartow died Tuesday after a bout with stomach cancer. He was 81. Bartow was a renowned and familiar figure in college hoops and won 647 games in 34 seasons. He's a college hoops hall of famer. And he handled arguably the toughest job in college hoops history - taking over for John Wooden at UCLA in 1976.
Let's continue off the interesting points raised by some of our new friends from the great state of Washington.
Where does UT rank in the sphere of college football? Consider tradition, consider current state of affairs, consider fan base, bankroll, and chance to contend for a BCS berth. Consider whatever you want, but rank the following football programs in order from best to less than best, and tell us why:
Tennessee, Washington, Clemson, Boise State, Auburn, Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Miami, Arkansas, Stanford.
Yes this list eliminates some of the obvious big boys such as Ohio State, Alabama, USC, et al. But this is the next level of folks. Discuss, and thanks to everyone for the feedback. | <urn:uuid:825b6f8d-a207-467d-85d1-0c7ac9d4baab> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/sports/story/2012/jan/04/5-10-bowl-mania-nfl-playoffs-and-derek-dooley-spea/67447/ | 2018-06-22T07:50:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864364.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622065204-20180622085204-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.962966 | 2,601 | [

Evans Bancorp says its investments are paying off, in the form of more loans.
In the second quarter, the Hamburg-based bank had loans of $711 million, up by 7 percent from a year ago. Evans officials attributed the growth to its continued investment in new employees and technology systems.
“As we’ve grown, you need to add the people,” said David J. Nasca, president and CEO of Evans. “The technology is the foundational piece that is required to support that growth.”
The bank over time has added loan officers and other positions, most of whom are revenue producers. “We talked about making strategic investments in people over the past couple of years, so a lot of those investments we’ve made in lenders and so on are now paying off,” said Gary A. Kajtoch, executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Nasca said the loan growth was fueled by a combination of commercial real estate loans – largely for multifamily housing – and commercial and industrial loans, mainly by manufacturers investing in their operations. “I think there’s good confidence that leads people to make strategic investments,” Nasca said.
The bank recorded second-quarter net income of $1.7 million, essentially flat from a year ago. It had earnings per share of 39 cents, up from 37 cents a year ago.
Evans reported net interest income of $7.6 million, essentially the same as a year ago, and $3.5 million in non-interest income, which rose from $3.1 million last year.
“I think we’re very pleased with where we stand competitively,” Nasca said. “We’re winning business, which is allowing us to grow and offset some of these margin challenges. That will bode well for us as we continue to go forward.”
Next month, Evans plans to reopen its rebuilt branch in Lancaster, which had been destroyed by fire. Evans has been operating an interim branch on the site. | <urn:uuid:0b912315-6839-4673-acf5-3c27f7821c24> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://buffalonews.com/2015/07/30/evans-bancorp-reports-7-percent-rise-in-loans-fueled-by-investments/ | 2018-06-22T08:10:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864364.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622065204-20180622085204-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.979806 | 432 | [

Scotland: Amnesty Congratulates St Johnstone FC on its Strong Stand Against Racism
Amnesty International today (Thursday April 1st 2004) welcomed St Johnstone football club taking a strong stand against racism in football and called on fans across Scotland to encourage their local club to do the same.
St Johnstone is the first Scottish club to fully sign up to the UEFA 10 point plan to tackle racism in football1. Last month Amnesty International and Show Racism the Red Card launched a new‘Team Up Against Racism’ campaign2 calling for all 42 Scottish professional football clubs to fully implement the plan which sets out ten measures that national associations and clubs should adopt as the framework for action to challenge racism.
Amnesty International will be continuing to press for all other clubs to sign up to the plan. Fans can support the campaign, by sending an electronic postcard to their team from Amnesty’s website.
John Watson, Programme Director for Amnesty International Scotland said, “We are delighted that St Johnstone have been so quick to respond to our campaign and demonstrate how serious they are about tackling racial discrimination. We are now calling on the 41 other clubs to follow their good example and to send the message that racism in Scottish football is totally unacceptable”.
Stewart Duff, Managing Director of St Johnstone Football Club Ltd said: "It is important for all Scottish football clubs to support the UEFA 10 point plan to tackle racism in football and I am certain that other clubs will sign up shortly. Whilst racism is not perceived as being a major problem in Scotland, it is important that we do not become complacent and clubs should send the right message to supporters that racism will not be tolerated."
Roddy McNulty, Campaign Co-ordinator for Scotland, Show Racism the Red Card, said: “Show Racism the Red Card applaud St. Johnstone FC's decision to implement the UEFA 10-point plan. As part of the plan, the Club, stewards and police will now agree a course of action to be taken if racist abuse occurs at McDiarmid Park. Fans now know that racism will not be tolerated at St. Johnstone FC - we hope this example will be echoed round all other SFL and SPL clubs in Scotland”.
NOTES TO EDITORS:
1. The UEFA Ten Point Plan, developed by Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) and adopted by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), sets out measures that professional football clubs should adopt as the framework for action to challenge racism. The full text of the UEFA 10 Point Plan can be found at www.farenet.org/10pointplan.asp
2. The campaign was launched on Tuesday 2nd March with the support of the Proclaimers, former Celtic and Chelsea defender Paul Elliott MBE, youth coach for Scotland Rainer Bonhof and SPFA representative Fraser Wishart. Photos are available on request.
Amnesty International and Football: In addition to the campaign, Amnesty International Scotland is also in its fourth year of organising a five-a-side football fundraising tournament, Scotland United. The Scotland United tournament will take place on Bank Holiday Monday the 3rd of May at the World of Football, Edinburgh.

Very few people are gifted with innovative thinking. These people can take advantage of mind mapping because it suits them perfectly since mind maps consume skills found in imagination, creativity, flexibility, and organization of ideas. According to many psychological researches, creative thinking has 4 elements which include the use of shapes, colors, unusual elements, and dimensions. Aside from hat creative thinking can also adjust conceptual positions and create response to appealing objects. If you want to promote creative thinking, mind mapping is a very effective tool.
Mind mapping can aid in completing the thinking process. Mind map is considered as an essential tool for mnemonic principles and creative thinking. If you can apply the appropriate techniques and facilitate them correctly, individuals can create lots of innovative ideas; more than a group brainstorming session can generate. Creative thinking has five stages, and they are as follows:
• Mind mapping burst (Quick-Fire) – choose an interesting topic and draw a central image to represent it. You can use a blank paper or any other material that you can write on. The ideas that radiate from your mind should be indicated on the page. Try to generate ideas for twenty minutes. Even if some ideas seem absurd, jot them down because there are times when these ideas serve as the key to breaking bad habits and coming up with new perspectives.
• 1st Reconstruction and Revision – don’t over exercise your brain. You can take a break and then try to integrate the idea you’ve generated. Create another mind map but this time, try to categorize the preliminary ideas. You can build hierarchies and identical ideas should be given attention. Through mind maps, individuals can explore and grow. | <urn:uuid:565281c4-b92a-48e0-870c-1be685db8db8> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://kawaiinekokawaii.blogspot.com/2015/11/mind-mapping-tool-for-creative-thinking.html | 2018-06-24T06:45:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866888.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624063553-20180624083553-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.911605 | 340 | [

Good vision relies on daily workout, which involves good muscle tone, muscle flexibility a bnd stretching.
Given that the brain is also connected to physical vision, the brain should also be involved.
Before you begin your daily workout, do some pre-exercise relaxation, which includes: slow breathing in and breathing out (make sure that your breathing out is a little longer than your breathing in; blinking your eyes several times to moisten your eyes; twist and swing your body from right to left, and then from left to right again (do this several times); do some cross crawl (raise your RIGHT knee and touch it with your LEFT palm; then raise your LEFT knee and touch it with your RIGHT palm -- do this several times); gently and slowly rotate your head and neck in a clock-wise and then a counter-clockwise direction, while closing your eyes and breathing in and out.
In the workout, move your eyes in a clockwise direction, while moving your tongue in an anti-clockwise direction; then rotate your eyes in a counterclockwise direvoction with your tongue rotating in a clockwise direction. The objective of this workout is to stimulate different parts of the brain, which control your eye movements, breathing, and posture--they all play a pivotal role in your vision health.

Back in April 1987, a computer scientist in a lab near Stanford started crafting a software application that would change how people communicate. It launched three years later as PowerPoint 1.0.
To get PowerPoint off the ground, Apple’s Strategic Investment Group funded the project, and ironically in July 1987, PowerPoint was acquired by Microsoft for $14m.
Since then, Microsoft PowerPoint has witnessed the freedom of Nelson Mandela, The Iraq War, Leicester City winning the Premier League, and Donald Trump becoming the President of the United States…
What will the next 30 years look like for PowerPoint?
To celebrate the 30th Birthday of PowerPoint, Event Technology Company, Glisser has created three beautiful infographics. You can see them all below: | <urn:uuid:b2125b64-a609-42d0-a223-dc4cb24a9194> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://internet-security-training-uk.com/2017/04 | 2018-06-18T07:44:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618070542-20180618090542-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.938487 | 150 | [

I work in a small shop like most of us do and for me the secret has been Rolling Bases. Thought I would share the before and after photos of my table saw base. 3/4 ply construction with two draws. One big for… the big things that always are left out. The other for the blades. This of course rolls, but I was able to build it to a height that matched the benches and tables I have. Hope you get some ideas from it. | <urn:uuid:703c53d8-03a8-40ab-b170-7c6ccbe3a139> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://woodworkingweb.com/creations/479-rolling-table-saw-base | 2018-06-18T07:22:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618070542-20180618090542-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.968272 | 97 | [

Tennessee Volunteers Football: 5 Players Who Have Surprised Us in 2013
The Tennessee Volunteers are one-third of the way through the 2013 season. This year has featured blowouts, turnover extravaganzas and a quarterback switch, but few are surprised by the ending result—a 2-2 record.
The individuals involved in that 2-2 record, though, have been surprising. Sure, the offensive line was going to be good, and yeah, we knew the running backs were experienced and talented. But the youth of the wide receivers and progression of the secondary have been really impressive.
Here are the five players who have surprised us in the early part of the 2013 season.
It's not surprising the talented true freshman is playing well. What is surprising is that Marquez North has immediately become the Volunteers' leading wide receiver.
In Tennessee's first four games, North leads the team in receptions (12) and receiving yards (112). He doesn't yet have his first career touchdown, but you can chalk that up to the subpar quarterback play thus far.
Zach Azzanni, Tennessee's wide receivers coach, stated earlier this year that if a player didn't block as a wide receiver, he simply "wouldn't play at Tennessee." It's this fine art of blocking that often slows or completely derails skilled youngsters.
North hasn't skipped a beat this fall and will only see his production increase with improved quarterback play.
Unfortunately, Justin Worley has surprised us in a bad way this season. Was he presumed to be the next Peyton Manning? Of course not. But a Casey Clausen/Jonathan Crompton-like player seemed reasonable.
Instead, the junior has been an anemic game manager at best.
In three starts this year, Worley has averaged 124 yards and fewer than two touchdowns per game. When you remove the stats of the Austin Peay blowout, those numbers plummet. He had done a good job limiting turnovers until the second half of play in Gainesville, where he tossed two interceptions.
After being named the Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior in South Carolina in 2011, Worley's accolades certainly seemed to warrant excitement for the future. The surprise? Fans are no longer excited.
It's not often a kicker or punter can make you do a double-take, but Michael Palardy has done just that. After three turbulent seasons filled with shanked punts and missed extra points, the senior has been outstanding.
Against the Gators, Palardy capped off an opening second-half drive with a 44-yard field goal that momentarily brought the game within one score. That made him 3-of-3 on the year, as well as 17-of-17 on extra points.
Palardy also has full punting duties. He's averaging 43.8 yards per boot with nary a shank. Couple that production with solid kickoffs, and you have yourself a success story in the formerly unconfident kicker.
After going down with a season-ending knee injury against Florida last year, Brian Randolph made sure he made his mark in this year's bout. The Georgia native racked up 11 tackles, with two for a loss, last Saturday.
Randolph has collected his first two career interceptions this year and is on pace for 75 tackles from his safety position. Most impressively, his closing speed looks better than ever after the knee injury.
Playing alongside a rotation of LaDarrell McNeil, Byron Moore and Max Arnold, Randolph has been the rock the secondary desperately needed last year.
When Riyahd Jones went down with a calf injury before the season started, the starting cornerback job fell to true freshman Cam Sutton. That's just asking for trouble.
SEC offensive coordinators and quarterbacks are notorious for picking on weaknesses in a defensive secondary. You might think that a new starter—a freshman, mind you—would be a weakness, but you'd be wrong.
Sutton has been one of the brightest spots on the defense. He has 10 tackles, one fumble recovery and one interception that he returned 36 yards for a touchdown this year. The last true freshman who had a pick-six was Eric Berry in 2007.
You could easily argue that Sutton has become the best cornerback on the team. With Riyahd Jones returning soon, the Tennessee secondary looks strong thanks to this surprise. | <urn:uuid:3cd3f774-48b9-4aab-81ea-e81dae0732c8> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1786412-tennessee-volunteers-football-5-players-who-have-surprised-us-in-2013 | 2018-06-20T10:30:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863516.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620085406-20180620105406-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.975007 | 898 | [

Way to go, Rick Mercer! I’ve been dogged by depression my whole life, but that hasn’t immobilized me and I think I get along quite well most of the time. It does make daily activities a challenge at times and it is a constant struggle. The top administrator at St. Joseph’s hospital in Comox told me a few days ago that anxiety and depression are the leading reasons for hospitalization. We often think of illness as a quality of the individual. We think of it as idiosyncratic. We acknowledge that environmental degradation can cause illness, but we seldom think that illness can have social roots. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that much illness is social in origin, ‘mental’ illness particularly so. We drive each other crazy all the time and the anxiety caused by uncertainty over mundane aspects of our lives combined with the certainty of death is a killer. I think that the incidence of mental illness, distress and anxiety is highly underreported. After all, no one wants to be labelled mentally ill. That label carries with it profound consequences as the video shows. Who wants to face the rejection and opprobrium that comes with a diagnosis of mental illness? | <urn:uuid:da99202e-1bcb-429e-8799-dc7f3dcfd95c> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://rogerjgalbert.com/2014/10/ | 2018-06-20T09:24:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863516.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620085406-20180620105406-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.971764 | 244 | [

Last year on my birthday the Alt-J album came out. Now they’re my favourite band. This year on my birthday, I discovered this amazing cover of their song “Tessellate” done by Ellie Goulding.
This cover is sultry, sexy and I love the saxophones on the bridge. It’s very different and unique and she really made it her own, but I still think I prefer the original. Maybe Alt-Js second album will come out next year on the same day (but then again, I’d hope for one sooner than that anyways)! | <urn:uuid:b3aa537c-3577-4f85-a543-5f64e86d823e> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://tiffanymondesir.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/cool-covers-tessellate-ellie-goulding-by-alt-j/ | 2018-06-20T09:17:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863516.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620085406-20180620105406-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.959476 | 126 | [

What is not blockchain. Everything you need to know.
Blockchain Technology is touted to be the game changer in 2018. But there are some misconceptions when it comes to understanding the technology for enterprise blockchain implementations.
Subscribe to our awesome Newsletter.
We’ve been investing a lot of time and energy in blockchain at NEXT and we’ve implemented the beautiful distributed ledger across organizations. We’ve also seen how blockchain can add a ton of transformational value to industries we’re yet to think of.
Before we start working on any new technology, we make sure we understand what that particular technology is NOT. Here are few things which I think is not blockchain:
Blockchain is not a product
Blockchain is a technology framework that works in a certain way. Is it the underlying technology that can be used to build or port existing business applications to improve security, efficiency and transparency.
Blockchain is not a transaction processing system
Blockchain can enhance the way a transaction processing system works. The way blockchain handles transactions are way different when compared to a traditional transactions.
Blockchain is not just confined to finance
Many think that blockchain is a technology built ‘for’ the finance sector. But that’s not true. Blockchain is a generic platform that can be deployed in places where transactions need to be transparent. Though it works beautifully for the finance segments. The technology can be applied to a ton of other industries as well.
Blockchain is not Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency; it is the first application built on top of the blockchain technology. The currency maintains anonymity, unlike the enterprise blockchain implementations where identity plays the center role of every transaction.
Blockchain is not a database
Blockchain is not a straightforward database and ledgers are not rows or columns in a database. But blockchain can be mentioned as a highly enhanced distributed database system.

Port Royal – Sean Campbell of Lansdale led early and late to record the big victory in Port Royal Speedway’s Blue Collar Classic Keystone RaceSaver Challenge for 305 sprint cars on Saturday night.
A massive field of 56 RaceSaver sprints entered competition with entries from as far away as Mayock, North Carolina and Virginia Beach, Virginia, on hand as well as numerous racers from New York and New Jersey.
It took five attempts to get the first lap of the 25-lap sprint main completed.
First lap crash victims included Eric Parker, Mike Koehler and Nate Gramley.
Campbell started on the pole of the feature and took the lead when action finally got going followed by Jeff Schall of Great Meadows, NJ.
Only one caution flag hampered the pace once the first lap was completed, with two away.
Campbell, whose father owned and fielded sprint cars in the area for years over the decades including for Leroy Felty in the 1980s, was strong at the front of the field pulling out to a full straightaway lead before approaching the rear of the field at the halfway point.
With laps three through 25 going non-stop traffic became a factor and it was one that Schall used to his advantage to run down Campbell’s extensive lead with seven laps to go.
Schall took the lead on the 18th tour and began working traffic as the leader with Campbell staying just close enough as they raced through the field from behind to be able to capitalize on a Schall miscue with three laps to go.
Schall, who was running the topside of the speedway surface, entered too high in the first corner and slipped up over the cushion to make contact with the outside wall, nearly crashing out of the event.
Instead, Schall gathered it back up just in time to watch Campbell catch and drive by him to the inside as the pair exited the second corner headed for the two-to-go sign.
Once back in the lead, Campbell outran Schall to the checkers by .886 seconds.
Local driver Jake Waters of Mifflintown started second in the event and ran a solid third the entire distance to finish with the spot.
After starting 23rd, Brian Carber of Pipersville bolted forwards through the field to be gaining on the top three finishers at the checkers, ending up fourth.
Third starter Matt Mountz of Wernersville finished fifth.
Sixth through 10th went to Kyle Reinhardt, Kody Lehman, Bruce Kindberg, Tyler Bear and Ed Newhauser.
The 410-sprint car track champion in 1990, Joey Allen of Hanover drove from 24th to 12th in the event.
Heats sponsored by Racers Used Parts Warehouse were won by Campbell, Reinhardt, Nate Gramley, Mike Koehler, Bruce Kindberg and Mountz.

Iran has urged Saudi Arabia to impose "the most severe punishment" on two Saudi police officers arrested on suspicion of sexually harassing two teenage Iranian boys at Jeddah airport.
Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollah said on April 9 that Saudi authorities had informed the Iranian ambassador about the arrests.
The Foreign Ministry had summoned Saudi Arabia's charge d'affairs in Tehran earlier this week over allegations that the two boys were harassed and demanded the Saudi government to bring the suspected culprits to justice.
The ministry said the airport police officers separated the boys, 14 and 15 years old, from their fellow passengers "for body searches" when they were returning to Iran from a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Saudi authorities "have pledged to investigate the case at the earliest," the ministry said.
According to the ministry, the Saudi police summoned all officers on duty in the airport and then asked the boys to identify the two officers.
The Foreign Ministry said it "would explore every avenue to demand the Saudi government to bring to justice the policemen at the airport."
The allegation has sparked angry reactions in Iran.
Deputy Foreign Minister Hassan Qashqavi slammed it as “heinous and inhumane crime.”
A prominent religious figure, Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makerm Shirazi, urged Tehran to stop sending Iranian pilgrims without security guarantees in Saudi Arabia.
He said the Saudi authorities "have done gigantic construction projects in Mecca and Medina, but the most important thing here is security," Shirazi said.
Iranian media reported that 18 lawmakers sent a letter to President Hassan Rohani urging him to demand justice for the two teenagers.
Lawmaker Mohammad Saleh Jokar demanded government take a tough stance on the matter.
The incident comes as relations between predominantly Shi'ite Iran and regional rival, Sunni-led Saudi Arabia has soured over the situation in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is conducting air strikes against Shi'ite Huthi rebels.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on April 9 the Saudi intervention in Yemen is a mistake.
Khamenei accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out what "genocide" in Yemen.
Iran summoned Saudi Arabia's charge d'affaires in Tehran on April 8 after a spokesman for the coalition said Iran had been training Huthi fighters.
Iran denies aiding Huthi rebels, who along with mutinous government forces, have taken large parts of Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa. | <urn:uuid:afecad43-caa9-4633-b0be-5eaaf0ea838a> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-summons-saudi-envoy-over-teen-pilgrims-harassment/26946944.html | 2018-06-21T10:30:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864139.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621094633-20180621114633-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.9521 | 508 | [

twenty-seven weeks in, and I am starting to really feel being pregnant. my back hurts, my belly button is almost gone. my legs twitch and cramp every night and there’s no getting comfortable, anywhere, at any time. I just want to sleep, and sleep, and sleep. I don’t want to eat anything, and if I did there wouldn’t be any room for it. yikes!!
what I’m doing to prepare for labor:
- using a birthing ball. I didnt have one for my last pregnancy, but now I couldn’t do without it. I do hip circles and bounce when he’s gotten in an uncomfortable position, and it always seems to help him adjust. I lean against it and roll to the sides to stretch out my back. I brace it against the wall and practice squatting.
- reading ina may gaskin’s guide to childbirth and marie mongan’s hypnobirth – both have excellent tips for labor.
- listening to hypnobirth and hypnobabies cds, practicing breathing methods and relaxation. I have a play list on YouTube so all my tracks are at my fingertips. it has been so nice to just take thirty minutes every day just to think about nothing but the little fellow. I never thought I’d love the mantras and affirmations, but they have been so wonderful to listen to.
- reading about essential oils during labor. another thing I’d never thought I’d be interested in, and I’m going to keep it simple, but the thought of warm washcloths dipped in lavender to soothe aches and cool clothes with peppermint oil for when it gets hot and sweaty sounds super nice.
I was so scared through my first labor and I felt so wildly unprepared, so this time my plan for childbirth can be summed up in one word: joy. I want to deliver this baby laughing and smiling. no fear. just joy. so I have been staying away from the scary birth stories I was addicted to during my daughter’s pregnancy, stories of premature births and complications. I’m just thinking of how wonderful it will be to finally meet this little guy. just joy. maybe it’s a little silly -but it makes me happy. | <urn:uuid:bd5552a3-661d-455f-b257-3ac7ac1c03dd> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://thisoldmoon.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/225/ | 2018-06-24T09:20:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866926.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624083011-20180624103011-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.955821 | 488 | [

This was our first glimpse of the glorious city;
We were scheduled to stay in the seaside town of Santa Susanna but decided to stay in a Hostel (Lullaby) smack bang in the middle of the city on the first night as we were so captivated by the place. There was so much thought and detail behind everything, from shop window displays to hotel lobbies, we were absolutely mesmerised. Like everything seemed to be in Barca, the Hostel was effortlessly stylish and really well run. Shame there were many a brawl on the street outside of our room that kept us from retreating to the much needed land of nodd, resulting in the worst nights (lack of) sleep during the whole trip.
The next hazy sleep deprived day was spent mooching around the city, being totally awe-struck by Gaudis architecture ;
(oh my gaud it is incredible)
picnicking outside the Cathedral and discovering some true gems like this beautiful vegan restaurant;
We hadn't actually checked how much the train to Santa Susanna was and had visions of forking of 40 euros plus, with a £100 budget for the 5 days we were worried to say the least. To our absolute relief it only cost 4.30 euros, for a 90 minute train ride! We arrived in Santa Susanna at about 9pm, we worried we would be to late (a day and a half) to check in. But that was the least of our worries.
Once we'd walked down the beach for about 20 minutes to find our Hotel we also found that is was boarded up with a sign reading 'HOTEL CLOSED', on closer inspection it had a list of all guests that were meant to stay there and contact details for another hotel they could stay in. Our names were not on the list.
As, you can tell, we were overjoyed with this news. We decided we'd chase up the Hotel the others guests had been allocated to, somehow made it in time for the last train to Callela where we were directed to Hotel Amaika.
The lights were off. We were faced with another sign, diverting us to 'Callela Palace' A 10 minute walk away, my friend who studies Tourism installed further fears as he was dubious of any Hotel that bore the name 'Palace'.
We planned our whole speech, demanding rooms even though we weren't on the list, demanding the train fare back towards the city, proving our rights with various documentation however when we arrived at the warmly inviting plush Palace the receptionist simply said 'Ohh we've been expecting you'. Talk about anti-climax. We would've been happy with any old room, all we craved was some silent slumber but the Hotel was even better than the one we had originally booked with. It had an indoors pool, sauna , jacuzzi and every room had a balcony that backed out onto the most glorious view of the hills.
The next day was spent exploring the beach and hills, we found a beautiful ruin and watched the sunset . We could see all the way to Barcelona centre. It was magical.
Once we made it back to ground level we supplemented the local Tapas and drained the local Sangria supply.
We were warned by everyone of the pick pockets but, probably due to the fact we went in December, we didn't come into direct contact with any, as far as we know anyway (cue the moment we look at our bank statements and realise we had our bank cards stolen).
The last two days were spent getting lost in the city, stumbling upon the most beautiful restaurants and spending far too much money on good food whilst visiting Gaudis 'house of bones'.
One moment that I will never ever forget occurred on the last day. We were sitting on a park bench in the centre, having lengthy conversations, mainly about tiny details of the beautiful landscape we were surrounded by. Despite the deep converse, my attention kept wandering to an old beggar man who sat on a bench on the other side of the park, all he seemed to own was a can of lager but seemed oddly content.
Throughout the two-and-a-half hour conversation that took place on the bench I would glance over at the man, who for the whole time was fiddling with his can, and what appeared to be a knife, not wanting to provoke him in anyway or seem rude, I would quickly turn away from him but was still totally captivated.
Then he stood up and began walking over to us, slightly aggressively but with an optimistic bounce in his step. He then handed me the most beautifully crafted candle holder whilst saying 'Bones Festes Bonita' which means 'Happy Holiday Beautiful' in Spanish. Before I could properly say thank you (despite shouting 'Gracias, es Bonito' pretty loudly after him) he had bounced away, waving backwards, towards us with a beaming smile.
The single thought that he had nothing materialistically yet bore such creative skills and gave away all that he had ,makes me feel warm and fuzzy. In that one moment, it felt like Christmas.
I was petrified we wouldn't be allowed to bring it back into the country as we only had hand luggage and it was pretty damn sharp, luckily, by a few (probably illegal) means it's now sitting on my window ledge, a permanent reminder of the good in Humanity and my beautiful Barcelonian break! | <urn:uuid:10356629-fb17-4191-84dc-39cae266fbd7> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://littleworthandwitt.blogspot.com/2012/12/ | 2018-06-25T09:49:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867644.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625092128-20180625112128-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.988135 | 1,123 | [

The Justice Film Festival returns to The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture in Lower Manhattan Friday to Sunday, Oct. 6-8, with a selection of films that highlight conscience and activism.
The festival opens Friday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. with Morgan Freeman and executive producer Lori McCreary’s “The Story of Us,” the follow-up to the critically acclaimed National Geographic series, “The Story of God.” “The Story of Us” is a journey of cultural exploration, including questions about what makes us who we are. Ms. McCreary and Freeman will participate in a talk-back after the screening.
The festival spotlights the works of innovative filmmakers committed to telling stories of moral and ethical resonance. It continues Saturday, Oct. 7, with documentary features and shorts that explore the environment, education, autism, personal struggle and redemption.
The early afternoon session begins at 1 p.m. with a nine-minute short, “Cycle of Change,” by Sarah Frei. Set in Guatemala, the film is the story of a woman who expands her personal horizon through the pursuit of bicycle-pedal technology.
“Behold the Earth,” by director David Conover, shows the disconnection between “America and the outdoors” and proposes informed dialogue between faith and science as a means to heal the divide. Grammy Award-winning musician Dirk Powell scores the film.
The late afternoon session, beginning at 4 p.m., includes director Lara Stolman’s “Swim Team,” which chronicles the rise of Jersey Hammerheads, a competitive swim team with autistic teen recruits. The film looks at their moving quest for inclusion, independence and a life beyond limitations.
The evening session begins at 7 p.m. with “Peripheral,” a 13-minute short about artist Jimmy Abegg, who is adapting to the loss of his sight, even as he expands his artistic vision.
Director Joseph Campo closes Saturday’s screenings with “Outcasts,” a highly anticipated and profoundly moving documentary about the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. It follows the members of the religious order “to the margins” where they serve the lost and forgotten in Central America, New York, London and Ireland in accordance with the call of the Gospel.
Sessions on Sunday, Oct. 8, take place at 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. They include the exclusive screening of the PBS feature “Sacred.” Academy Award-winning director Thomas Lennon and 40 filmmaking teams capture the sights and sounds of faith practices throughout the globe.

Now i want make a article for the Guild Wars 2 Trailer: Our Time is Now. For the maniac MMORPG, you must know this game right? Guild Wars 2 is a massively multiplayer online role- playing game or MMORPG developed by ArenaNet. Not too long ago, ArenaNet reveal the trailer to promote the game of Guild War 2, called Guild Wars 2 Trailer: Our Time is Now. Its blended the live action short movies into massive online Guild Wars animation with the wars with dragons background. Guild Wars 2 itself set in the fantasy world called Tyria. The story is about a disbanded guild dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons that has seized control of Tyria in the time since the original Guild Wars.
For me the Guild Wars 2 has unique genre, the storyline is responsive to the player actions like we usually get from single player RPG but rarely seen in multiplayer ones. The player can approach the quest in different way as part of a persistent world. Guild Wars 2 will allow a player to create a character from a combination of five races and eight professions. The five races is Human, Charr, Asura, Norn, Sylvari. The professions are divided into armor classes, first is scholar with the lights armor, adventurers with the medium armors, and the soldiers with the heavy armors.
The skills is different depends of the race and profession that we choose. Every players must choose only 10 skills from a much larger pool. The level cape for this game is 80 level.
The development of Guild Wars 2 began in 2007 and was announced March 27 2007 with the announcement of the final Guild Wars expansion. The beta test scheduled for 2008, however the beta test were cancelled to ensure the game had maximum impact and appeal to all the players.
in 2009, two years after the first announcement, ArenaNet decide to reveal the trailer which mixed animated concept art. In november 2009, NCSoft CEO Jaehoo Lee reveal a bad news that Guild Wars 2 would most likely not release until 2011, only the closed beta for the demo purpose only was available at some event likem Gamescom, Penny Arcade Expo, and Paris Games Week.
At 2011, ArenaNet conducted small closed alpha and beta test, on january 2012 a good news finally out, it was announced that Guild Wars 2 will ship this years. in March and April, the beta test version is available to anyone who already pre-purchased the game. On June 28 2012, Arena Net announced the game would be released on Auguts 28.
Now back to the Trailer it self. Guild Wars 2 Trailer: Our Time is Now is involving the director of V for Vendetta James McTeigue to create a live action trailer. For me the trailer is little bit off, the good part was only the last twenty second when a group of adventures from all of Tyria’s races strut toward the camera and get ready to fight a flying beast. the rest is wasting time, but it just my opinion thou.
The Guild Wars 2 Trailer: Our Time is Now is release with purpose to retain and grow that player base in the long run, perhaps The Guild Wars 2 Trailer: Our Time is Now will catch attention of the unconverted masses. Did you get excited from the Guild Wars 2 Trailer: Our Time is Now ?

Holy Crap!!! Xenoblade on the go! The only downfall to this is that you have to buy a NEW 3DS just to buy it....they kinda run by that fact quickly. When he says NEW Nintendo 3DS....he means NEW. As in it is basically a whole new system running on a new processor. It will be able to play all older 3DS gams...but your older 3DS wont play the NEW 3DS games...But for Xenoblade, is it worth it? | <urn:uuid:e33de2fa-6b65-4d95-8047-7e7cc11d5aba> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://otaku-guru.blogspot.com/2014/08/xenoblade-chronicles-for-new-3ds.html | 2018-06-18T13:21:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.965764 | 103 | [

And so, [in the course of time,] We awakened them;* and they began to ask one another [as to what had happened to them].* One of them asked: "How long have you remained thus?" [The others] answered: "We have remained thus a day, or part of a day."* Said they [who were endowed with deeper insight]: "Your Sustainer knows best how long you have thus remained.* Let, then, one of you go with these silver coins to the town, and let him find out what food is purest there, and bring you thereof [some] provisions. But let him behave with great care and by no means make anyone aware of you:
No human vision can encompass Him, whereas He encompasses all human vision: for He alone is unfathomable, all-aware.*
And he raised his parents to the highest place of honour;* and they [all] fell down before Him, prostrating themselves in adoration.* Thereupon [Joseph] said: "O my father! This is the real meaning of my dream of long ago, which my Sustainer has made come true.* And He was indeed good to me when He freed me from the prison, and [when] He brought you [all unto me] from the desert after Satan had sown discord between me and my brothers. Verily, my Sustainer is unfathomable in [the way He brings about] whatever He wills:* verily, He alone is all-knowing, truly wise!
Art thou not aware that it's God who sends down water from the skies, whereupon the earth becomes green? Verily, God is unfathomable [in His wisdom], all-aware.*
O my dear son," [continued Luqman,] verily, if there be but the weight of a mustard-seed, and though it be [hidden] in a rock, or in the skies, or in the earth, God will bring it to light: for, behold, God is unfathomable [in His wisdom], all-aware*
And bear in mind all that is recited in your homes of God's messages and [His] wisdom: for God is unfathomable [in His wisdom], all-aware.*
GOD is most kind unto His creatures: He provides sustenance for whomever He wills - for He alone is powerful, almighty!
How could it be that He who has created [all] should not know [all]?* Yea, He alone is unfathomable [in His wisdom], aware!* | <urn:uuid:a3658c89-dcfa-4421-bd6d-51ff35d30fb0> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://quranix.org/c/lTf | 2018-06-18T13:04:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.968306 | 540 | [

As I stated yesterday, I would like to continue to look at Psalm 1 and now gather information about the results of being a righteous man (right with God). Before we move to the next truths I would like to see if we can remember some things from the last article. The righteous man has a totally different lifestyle from the unrighteous man, even though they may occupy the same space in life, like at a job or recreation activity. The righteous man is different because his passion in life is the Word of God. In fact, he loves the Word of God so much that he devotes all of his life to knowing It and living It. His entire day, everyday, is spent in the Word of God by studying, pondering, and speaking It. His life is guided by the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth). Now we want to turn to the results of a life dedicated to the Word of God.
As you know, every cause has an effect. In other words, every action has a reaction. We call them consequences to your actions. The neat thing about God is the fact that He lets us choose the actions but He is the One who gives the consequences. But being a good God, He warns us of the consequences of both the good and the bad choices. In this text, Psalm 1, God gives us great insight on what happens to a man who chooses to dedicate his life to the Word of God.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither ; And in whatever he does, he prospers. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous . . . (Psalm 1:3,6)
First of all he is like a tree firmly planted. Are you firmly planted (stable) in your life? Are you a wishy-washy person or a steadfast person? A person who anchors himself in the Word of God will be stable in all of his ways. Do you realize how many people suffer from depression in the 21st Century? It has been called the “sickness” of the 21st Century. There are many cases where the sickness is real, based on a chemical imbalance. There are also many cases where people are just not stable in their lives and usually you can draw the line and connect the dots between depression and lack of relationship with God through His Word. If I deal with a person who is “depressed” the first question that I ask is “how is your spiritual life?”. The answer is usually the same “nonexistent at the moment”. Do you want to be a stable person, dependable, able to endure the storms of life? Then you must meditate on the Word of God and find delight in It. Also you have to apply what you learn in your daily life (see verse 1 for application).
Secondly, a righteous man will yield fruit at the right time and have pretty leaves. His fruit is obvious. When you see the fruit you will know what kind of tree you have. An apple comes from an apple tree etc. The righteous man who is planted in the Word of God will produce righteous fruit. It will not be a guessing game, “is he a Christian or not?” Everyone will know as soon as the fruit comes. If there is no fruit or bad fruit then let’s not make excuses. Remember, the fruit comes in its season so if you do not see fruit immediately do not lose heart. Stay firmly planted in the Word of God and there will be fruit. If you remove the water source, the Word of God, then the fruit disappears and since the firm foundation is removed then you no longer have stability. Where does the Word of God rank in your life? How much fruit do you produce? What kind of fruit do you produce? Do people have to wonder if you are a righteous man or can they tell by your actions?
Thirdly, in whatever this man does, he prospers. This does not mean that he never fails at anything but it does mean that most of the things he does end up in prosperity. This is his way of life. Now, remember, his actions will be of a righteous man so do not think that this is a recipe to get whatever you want from God. A righteous man will occupy himself with the things of God and everything that he does will be for the glory of God so if this is the case then, everything that he does will prosper. God will be the One backing up what the righteous man does to make if prosper.
The fourth and final characteristic is the fact that the Lord knows the way of the righteous man. He is not alone in this world as so many people believe. When you have a relationship with God through His Word, and live according to His Word then God knows your way of life, He is with you and you will never be alone. Do you feel alone? Would you like the security of never being alone again? Dedicate yourself to the Word of God and He will know your way and you will prosper in all that you do. In the next article, I would like to address the lifestyle of the wicked man. Until then, God bless you as you seek to serve Him. | <urn:uuid:1d181ca7-2d9e-4562-8ffc-c3b485a77b43> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://erikbrewer.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/the-results-of-being-a-righteous-person-psalm-1/ | 2018-06-18T13:25:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.97112 | 1,089 | [

CHILDREN got to grips with mountain rescue techniques during a training exercise.
Youngsters from Deighton and Brackenhall joined forces with the Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team to learn more about their work. They looked at the equipment used by the rescue team and had a tour of their HQ.
Charlotte Rayner said: “This trip is part of our activities being held over the Easter holidays which have been funded by Natural England and the Deighton and Brackenhall Initiative.
“We have been funded to encourage more people into the outdoors, to develop wild play spaces and natural arts and crafts.”
Team members showed the youngsters how they search for missing people.
The 40 members of Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team cover hills and moors south of Huddersfield, but are often called on to back up teams throughout the country. | <urn:uuid:6625f6bb-62dc-4728-b9cf-176c53b06ee9> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/deighton-youngsters-join-forces-woodhead-4974805 | 2018-06-18T14:34:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.979191 | 177 | [

RESPECT. What does it mean to respect someone? To me, respect is knowing when to confront someone and knowing that people may know more about a certain subject than me. Respect is also a basic human right that all human beings deserve until proven otherwise. This is the value in the spotlight this week at circle. It really opened up my mind to what was talked about throughout the hour and a half I was there, due to the snowstorm I had to leave before the second circle that evening.
On Thursday night, I was able to see the values of WCCC in effect and watch it do what it set out to do. It is one thing to hear about circle working and it changing the lives of the clients, but it is an entirely other feeling to actually see it in action. Hearing about the client when they first started at circle as opposed to now is mind blowing and enlightening. They are a completely different person according to both themselves and the other circle members. In the beginning they did not want to be there and felt it was a waste of time. But seeing them this last Thursday so open to sharing their feelings and what is going on in their personal life including some actions they are taking, and how their relationship with their family members has changed in the time from when they began at WCCC and now is astounding. Before really seeing WCCC in action, I wanna say I was partially skeptical on if it was going to work. But now, all skepticism I had is gone and I can truly see everything that I was excited about with this internship really happening.
In regards to research being done by myself and another intern on the subject of Restorative Justice, with every article I read the more surprised and perplexed I am at the fact that Restorative Justice works and can be implemented in many places that will see results. As part of my class that goes along with interning with WCCC, I am required to make an infographic on a topic relating to a current issue as well as my internship. I have decided to take the overarching subject of Restorative Justice and apply it toward fixing, and possibly eliminating, the school-to-prison pipeline. For those who do not know what this is, it is basically what it says it is. A child will get in trouble in school and that will lead to them landing themselves in prison as an adult, almost right out of school. I want to see how Restorative Justice can help the pipeline in at-risk neighborhoods and districts as these are the places that really need it.
I am excited to continue updating you all on this each week! So until next time, see ya!~Kasi | <urn:uuid:b9b9f649-23c1-4b44-b038-cae239a01f13> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.peacemakingcircles.org/newsletters-1/2018/3/6/intern-kasis-blog-week-in-the-life-of-an-intern | 2018-06-18T13:32:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.986801 | 539 | [

TM 55-607/NAVSEA OP 3221 Rev 2
Figure 6-7. Basic blocking for metal deck.
b. Bracing. Bracing is the act of installing a wood member or structure so that it extends from a deck, bulkhead, or
overhead to the stow and strengthens the blocking by supporting it in a horizontal direction. Figures 6-8 and 6-9 illustrate
basic methods of bracing. Kickers, relatively short lengths of lumber nailed horizontally, add rigidity to the uprights and
braces. Kickers are either nailed to the deck or wedge fitted to a bulkhead. In both cases, it should be noted that the
structure extends slightly higher than the unit load and along the full width. | <urn:uuid:5bd68583-4498-4a61-8a85-2af08ca0c42e> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://constructionloader.tpub.com/TM-55-607/TM-55-6070055.htm | 2018-06-20T13:07:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863519.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620124346-20180620144346-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.900818 | 155 | [

Goblet cells of the mouse conjunctiva secrete the mucin Muc5AC and to a lesser extent Muc5B. The purpose of this study was to determine if mice null for either of these mucins have an altered ocular surface phenotype.
The ocular surface of mice null for Muc5AC or Muc5B and their wild type (wt) controls were compared grossly and by fluorescein staining. Immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies to Muc5AC and Muc5B was used to determine if Muc5AC and Muc5B colocalize in the same goblet cell and if there is a compensatory increase of Muc5B in Muc5AC -/- mice and vice versa. Numbers of goblet cells in sections of conjunctiva of -/- and wt mice were assessed by light microscopy. To determine if lack of the Muc5AC mucin enhances desiccating stress on the ocular surface, -/- mice were placed in a controlled environment chamber for 15 days and tear volume and fluorescein staining measured every 3 days.
Neither Muc5AC nor Muc5B -/- mice had grossly visible ocular surface abnormalities as compared to wt, however both mucin null mice had significantly increased fluorescein staining compared to wt. In wt conjunctivae, the large majority of goblet cells bound Muc5AC antibodies with only a few goblet cells positive for Muc5B. The mucin antibodies did not colocalize to the same goblet cells suggesting the mucins are made by different cells. There was no substantive increase in immunoreactivity of either Muc5B in the 5AC -/- mice, or 5AC in 5B-/-mice. Surprisingly, numbers of goblet cells per unit area of conjunctival epithelium did not vary between either mucin -/- mouse or their wt suggesting that mucin content alone does not define goblet cell morphology. Exposure of Muc5AC -/- mice to desiccating stress resulted in a significant decrease in tear volume at days 12 and 15 compared to wt. Throughout the 15 day exposure to desiccating stress in the controlled environment chamber, Muc5AC -/- mice had consistently higher fluorescein staining scores compared to wt.
Both Muc5AC and Muc5B secreted by mouse conjunctival goblet cells contribute to ocular surface homeostasis.

But for real – no. I mean, first off, I’ve never understood why people wish you a “happy (insert day of the week here).” Why do people do that? Is it colloquial? Do they have nothing legitimate to say? Do they just like hearing themselves speak? Do they enjoy wasting text messages? I mean, if your phone plan doesn’t include unlimited texting, that’s a hefty bill each month just from useless “Happy I-Can’t-Think-Of-Anything-More-Original-To-Say-To-You” texts. Ok, so let’s assume you aren’t living in 2013 and your phone plan doesn’t include unlimited texting. (Side note: I’m not insulting the people who don’t have unlimited texting. I’m insulting society for promoting such an impersonal and mindless form of communication to such an extent that it’s become our most common interaction with any other person.) Further, let’s assume that it costs you $.10 to send one text. If you’re one of these people and you’re sending, oh let’s say, three per week every week of the year with an additional 5 around the holidays, you’re spending over $16 each year JUST so you can send someone an
completely essentially meaningless text. Forget about how much additional money you’ll spend receiving text responses to your silly well wishes. I guess I just wish people would be more sincere. I digress…
I hope you’re all having a glorious MLK Day off of work! Haha, I bet you don’t believe me after that rant. I’m at the office, but I’m still having a pretty glorious day thus far. I didn’t post anything this weekend because I don’t have a computer at home and it’s a bit absurd to attempt posting something on my phone or even my iPad. Therefore, you get to read about my entire weekend in one long, agonizing post. How much fun is that?!
The weekend started out with a visit to Starbucks to meet up with two girls I work/ed with at my weekend job: Jen and Madelyn.
They’re adorable. Jen (left) and I work together almost every weekend, and she’s such a fun friend that I still get giddy every time I see her at work. It’s a stupid amount of giddy. Plus, we’re basically twins with our same dark features and curly, curly hair. We never get to see Madelyn because she’s in school at North Georgia, so it was a nice treat to see her 🙂 She is the epitome of perfect: intelligent, hilarious, fit, beautiful, and an absolute sweetheart.
Friday night dinner consisted of some pan-fried chicken in olive oil with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper along with a sweet potato with cinnamon, and some sauteed mushrooms.
Ok. So. Listen. We’re about to get serious. I don’t really know how it happened, but Friday night a few little critters sneaked into my bed with me and stayed there pretty much all night. The only reason I know is because I found at least two still sound asleep next to me when I woke up Saturday morning. Upon realization of what had occurred, I knew what I had to do:
I LOVE Animal Crackers. Deeply. I always have. I always will. But, they’re detrimental to my health so they had to go. They’re by no means even remotely paleo and I know that if I let them live in my pantry, inevitably, they’ll end up living in my tummy instead.
Dinner Saturday included something I haven’t made in quite a while: kale chips. Per my usual lately, I paired it with some chicken. It was pretty good, albeit a little salty. I can never get the amount of salt right with these.
I also kept them in the oven a few minutes too long. Does it feel like this is more a blog about how overcook the crap outta your food than anything else?? Seems we’re moving toward that rapidly. Although, I will say that I cooked my chicken perfectly: just long enough to ensure I wouldn’t contract salmonella.
I would usually sit down on my couch to eat breakfast (we don’t have a dining room table yet), but the sun was bright and intense Sunday morning so I tried to take advantage of that. Although it was a bit chilly, I decided to open my “patio” door and sit down on the floor while I had a cup of coffee and ate my breakfast (which did not include any Animal Crackers). This is super lame, but it was kind of peaceful.
I had a scramble with egg, spinach, apple chicken sausage, and considerably too much avocado. Yum. And as you can see by this picture, our “patio” measures about 1×7 making it a bit ridiculous not to use quotation marks every time I use that word.
A visit to Katy’s house brought more deliciously healthy food to my lips.
Lots of fruit, brie, and these delicious Raisin and Rosemary crackers from Trader Joe’s. Again, not Paleo, but I just really couldn’t pass these up. So far, my weakness with this diet seems to be crackers of all things. I don’t even like crackers. Before these last couple days, I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a cracker. I’m glad I can’t even validate my indiscretions. I suck.
My visit also let me see lots of this:
That’s Lux, and she is the most adorable baby ever. Obviously. I’ve known her mommy for about 4 years now and she is definitely one of my top 5 favorite people I’ve ever met. While I was over there stuffing my face full of crackers, Katy caught me up on her wedding plans to her boyfriend, Geoff. They’re having a beach wedding this May and I can’t freakin’ wait. Every detail of their big day is absolutely precious. Congrats to Katy and Geoff!
At this point, I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself: this girl be cray. is she really allowed to call this a healthy living blog if she doesn’t, oh what’s that thing called? That’s right! Work out!! And, of course, my reaction to that is to curl up in to the fetal position clutching my animal crackers (that I dug out of the trash) and rock myself back and forth to sleep. Sounds like I might actually burn some calories doing that. Moving on – I didn’t work out for a couple days this weekend, but made it to the gym for a quick leg workout on Sunday evening.
I only had enough time for 1 set of this, a few minutes of running, and a few more minutes of stretching before I had to go get ready for a breakfast for dinner potluck that Meghan and I were having at our apartment.
We had LOTS of mimosas and LOTS of this delicious baked french toast that Catherine brought.
This is obviously not the part of the blog in which I talk about how we made healthy choices when it came to our potluck dinner. We had very healthy options in the fridge, but opted for that killer french toast, bagels, and alcohol instead.
It was a great way to close out the weekend 🙂 | <urn:uuid:1b936d59-0f36-47da-867a-0176bec71db5> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://fitnesscreatures.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/weekend-recap/ | 2018-06-23T12:18:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864958.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623113131-20180623133131-00594.warc.gz | en | 0.960471 | 1,632 | [
