According to the Law of the RK "On valuation activities in the Republic of Kazakhstan», No. N-109-II dated November 30, 2000 the basis for valuation is an agreement on rendering valuation services, signed by the Customer and the Appraiser.
To execute valuation it is required to provide entitling documents for the property being evaluated.
For example, copies of the following documents are required for a real estate valuation:
- Document of origin of the possession right: a sales (privatization, exchange, donation, etc.) contract or in operation acceptance act;

4. Cost and timing
The cost of valuation services depends on the type of property and purpose of the valuation.
To know the exact cost of our services on valuation of a particular property, you can simply send a message to our e-mail: almaty%m%cbre%d%kz stating the subject of the mail "Property Valuation.
We would like to note that the Scot Holland appraisers follow up the valuation report till its acceptance in accordance with the purpose of valuation, for example by banks or accounting firms.
5. How will our property be valued?
Appraiser may use three main approaches to the valuation: Cost approach, Sales comparison approach and Income approach.
Cost approach - is based on the determination of the costs required to restore or replace the property under valuation, subject to its depreciation. In other words, we will calculate the cost needed to create an analogue of the property under valuation.
Typically, this approach is applied in the valuation of property that is not sold on the open market, or there is no widely available information about transactions with this type of property.
Sales comparison approach - is based on comparison of the property being evaluated with other similar properties available for sale. We will study the market, chose analogs comparable to your property in terms of main characteristics, and based on their prices will derive the value of the property under valuation. Certainly, it is not always possible to choose comparable property, which fully coincides with the property under valuation. In these cases, the Appraiser will apply adjustment to the price of the analogs, taking into account the differences between them and the valued property.
Income approach - is applicable to a property and property rights, which provide, or can provide income to the owner in the future. We will calculate potential future income and reduce it to the current value of your property using the appropriate rates (capitalization or discount rate).
The choice of approach will depend on the property and purpose of valuation, and will be discussed in details with the Customer before preparation of the valuation report
On request, we can apply any of the valuation approaches described above, unless it is contrary to the requirements of the International Valuation Standards (IVS) or the necessary information is missing. For example, the sales comparison approach is impossible if similar property is not available for sale on the market. The cost approach cannot be applied if it is impossible to calculate the cost of creating an analog (land plot valuation). The income approach is not advisable for valuation of property, which is not intended for use as a source of profit.
6. What are the advantages of the Scot Holland valuation?

IFRS are the standards established for the unification of financial reporting from all over the world. Statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS, facilitate dialogue with foreign companies and investors, which provides access to international markets.
International accounting standards focus on the reflection of objective information about the current state of the company. In other words, they are built on the principle of transparency. Therefore, they are based on data about the fair (market) value of assets and liabilities.
These data are needed both for the preparation of initial accounting balance sheet (to change to IFRS), as well as to reflect the major financial transactions in the company's activities, such as purchase / sale of assets, assessment of their fair value taking into account renting and leasing, making the choice of accounting model etc.
The fair value of assets is fundamental for increase of transparency of the company to investors and shareholders.
Reports prepared by our experts with the purpose of financial statements fully comply with the International Valuation Standards. | <urn:uuid:df3dcacc-c15a-493a-916d-71cd9f1f6555> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://cbre.kz/valuation-services/?lang=en | 2019-06-21T00:07:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.915761 | 2,150 | [

As an organization, PEARL was struggling with negative industry impressions about reconditioned electrical equipment reintroduced into the field – that it wasn’t safe or reliable. At the same time PEARL had a good reputation in the reconditioned equipment industry as an organization comprised of member companies that are considered the ‘best of the best.’ PEARL also developed two distinct standards to ensure reconditioned equipment is tested, inspected and is in compliance of OEM operating standards before it is put back into use. Even though PEARL, which was established in 1997, has been considered the go-to resource for reconditioned electrical equipment, the organization’s branding was outdated, didn’t instill the confidence and thought leadership that the organization required for growth.
Kellen brought together a committee of PEARL members to discuss how PEARL could be rebranded as a thought leader in their industry. The rebrand would focus on PEARL’s authoritative voice and recognized expertise. Working with the PEARL committee’s input, Kellen embarked on a brand audit and SWOT Analysis and determined that a rebrand would consist of developing / modifying their:
- Mission Statement
- Brand Voice
- New tagline
- New name
- Brand Identity
- New logo
- New sub-brands / collateral material
- New website
- New Mission Statement Developed a new mission statement that encapsulated the organization’s reason to be: “Developing, advancing and promoting safe reconditioning practices for electrical equipment.”
- New tagline Developed a new tagline that was aligned with PEARL’s mission and brand: Trusted. Safe. Now.
- New name New name was developed to reflect trust, the changing industry and align with PEARL’s reconditioning standard and encapsulates all members and potential members: Professional Electrical Apparatus Reconditioning League.
- New logo PEARL acronym didn’t change but appearance did. New logo is authoritative, with colors that reflect PEARL’s history (blue) and sustainability (green). The ‘R’ in PEARL also acts as an ‘arrow’ symbolizing reconditioned equipment re-entering the marketplace.
- New sub-brands and collateral material Carries the PEARL brand through ancillary materials.
- New website Design was focused on modern user experience. Updated and relevant content was developed; website imagery/colors that reflect the new PEARL brand. | <urn:uuid:a43ce145-b038-4de1-9046-6c4db3f801c6> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://sracomms.com/details/professional-electrical-apparatus-reconditioning-league/ | 2019-06-20T23:06:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.946679 | 543 | [

One of the things us Photographers get a chance to do when the wedding season is coming to an end, is blog! Over the next few months, you are going to see a lot of blog posts and they are going to be full of inspiration.
This one is absolutely packed full of it. Wedding of my dreams asked if I would be involved in a shoot to capture a lot of things you can buy off their amazing site. Each table had a different theme and every little thing you can see on these tables, you can buy! Make sure you have a good look around and if there is anything that you fall in love with, you now know where you can get it from. Starting with….
One of the reasons I love capturing styled shoots is not only because I get to catch up with my amazing industry friends but also, I see a transformation. I am at Mythe Barn Wedding Venue quite a lot and get to see many beautiful weddings there, so I was curious as to what Pumpkin Events could pull out of the bag!
They didn’t disappoint. Whilst I was outside with the beautiful Adele, they were transforming inside and I couldn’t help but say “wow” when I walked in.
Mythe Barn is beautiful enough without having to do anything there and does work as a blank canvas. Abigail and her team wanted to embrace this and wanted to add a small splash of colour. Look at that top table!!
I hope you take away some inspiration from this shoot and please feel free to pin away!
About me, I'm Nicola, a professional wedding photographer located in Birmingham, UK; I'm a Welsh girl living in England. I have included a photo of me and a little video too so you can see me in action with my wonderful couple. | <urn:uuid:1a0f7781-336d-4b92-bd7c-d61b0f8269f0> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.daffodilwaves.co.uk/blog/tag/coral-wedding-inspiration | 2019-06-21T00:08:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.97697 | 369 | [

“I’d like one Sephiroth, please.â€
The voice of the timid, mousy-haired girl in front of the counter matched her appearance. Maggie sighed as she looked up from her paper. “Do you have an appointment?”
“Ah, no. Was I supposed to?†The shy girl looked uncomfortable and wrung her hands.
“For most of ‘em, no, but Sephiroth is one of our most popular models. We’ve got ten of them operational, and you still need to book a week in advance.†Maggie shook her head. “So sorry, kid, no can do. You need some suggestions? I’ve got the Final Fantasy section of the catalog here,†she offered, pulling out a well-worn and dog-eared magazine that held some of the brothel’s most popular products.
“Oh, no thank you,†said the girl, blushing. “I can pick another one on my own.†She chewed her lip for a moment, then spoke up again timidly. “Do you have, ah, a Spike?â€
“Spiegel? You’re in luck, kid. He’s very popular too, but one of our regulars cancelled today. I’ll get him set up in a room for you.†Maggie tapped some numbers into her computer. “Need anything else? Lube, toys, handcuffs, lingerie?â€
The girl’s face turned even redder. “Oh… oh, no thank you. I don’t need anything like that. But, ah…†She bit her lip again. “Could I also have… a Vicious?â€
Maggie squinted down at the girl over the counter. “A Spike and a Vicious?†She eyed the girl’s slender frame. “They’re both pretty big, sweetheart. Are you sure you want them both on the same day? You might be sore afterwards.â€
“Oh, no! No, not like that.†The girl’s eyes widened. “I didn’t mean it like that. I don’t want to… to have them both,†she explained. “I just want them… ah… together.†A small, anticipatory smile spread over her pink lips.
Maggie’s eyebrows rose up into her bangs. It seemed she’d overestimated this girl’s naïveté. “Yaoi fan, huh?†The girl blushed and nodded, grinning wider, and Maggie backspaced over the information on her screen. “You should’ve said something. You’ll need a special chip for that. Those subroutines don’t come standard.â€
Maggie reached over into the drawer and pulled out two chips wrapped in plastic, handing them across the counter to the girl. “You just give those to the handler when you get to the room and she’ll install them, okay?â€
“Okay,†the girl repeated, nodding. She handed over her credit card and Maggie swiped it through.
“You’re all set, sweetheart,†Maggie told the girl, handing back the card. “You have fun now, you hear?â€
The girl’s eyes positively sparkled with anticipation. “Oh, don’t worry. I will.†| <urn:uuid:da0293a5-66a9-477d-bfbd-aedd3a2fd798> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://365tomorrows.com/2005/12/13/personal-taste/ | 2019-06-25T12:48:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999838.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625112522-20190625134522-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.931853 | 887 | [

Jetwing’s Warwick Gardens is a beautifully renovated Edwardian style bungalow nestled in the hills in Ambewela. With cozy rooms, gorgeous surroundings and excellent Sri Lankan cuisine, this old school gal bangalawa encapsulates a perfect vacation in the hill country.
Having lived in Nuwara Eliya during my early childhood and hearing twenty eight years worth stories from my dad, it’s easy to see just how much NE has changed over the decades. While it’s great to see the modernisation of the town, it’s also sad see it lose some of it’s colonial charm which made it our little England. There are, however, a few gems that have retained that colonial beauty, and Jetwing’s Warwick Gardens is a perfect example. Located about half an hour from NE, it’s away from the hubbub of the town, surrounded by mountains and tea estates.
At around 6000 feet above sea level the temperature at Warwick Gardens varies between 14°C - 23°C, making it perfect for reading and relaxing.
This is pretty much the perfect gal bangalawa with thick stone walls for insulation, beautiful colonial style interiors with cozy couches, a grand piano, glass chandeliers, functional fireplaces and candlelit dining tables.
The garden is another highlight; maintained impeccably with the front lawn giving a perfect view of the valley and the mountains.
Due to the estate’s altitude there’s a constant mist and occasional fine drizzle which feels amazing when you step out into the garden. Because of this, you’ll also see a bunch of rainbows throughout the day when the sun hits the mist at the right angles.
Warwick Gardens has a total of five rooms so even on the rare occasion where it’s fully occupied, it won’t feel crowded. The two rooms we were staying in were very much different from each other; one with crimson walls and two twin beds and the other white washed with a spacious four-poster bed.
Each of the rooms came with a fireplace in case it gets a little too chilly at night, which is a nice touch that’s become harder to find.
One thing we have to mention are the brilliant bathrooms at Warwick, which are some of the best we’ve come across. They’re pretty much the size of another room, with windows that give a view of the estate and mirror-like ceramic counter tops.
One of the rooms even came with a full sized bathtub, which makes for a brilliant way to end the day with a warm soak.
(Ed Note: We've also separately stayed in the White Room and Master Suite, which are the premium accommodation options. Check out Jetwing's gallery for a feel, they're gorgeous and we felt like low-key royalty)
Being a bungalow, Warwick Gardens sticks to a well balanced à la carte menu which gives you options for either western, Indian or local cuisine, along with a good variety of meats to choose from. We tried a bit of everything and came away quite happy in general, but particularly impressed with the top notch Sri Lankan food.
We generally don’t pay much heed to bread baskets but few do it as well as Warwick Gardens. Their buns and breads were like pillows. light, airy and very flavoursome. So good in fact that we ended up taking some to our rooms for late night noms.
This may sound a bit boring, but for lunch we definitely recommend their rice and curry. Ours came with spicy beef curry, sautéed chilli potatoes, mango chutney, onion baduma with peanuts and a creamy parippu along with papadam. The standout here was that beef curry which was at like Muslim aunty levels with tender meat, a nice hit of pepper and chilli with just the right amount of coconut milk to balance the heat.
If you’re more interested in western cuisine, Warwick Gardens serves up a legit breakfast which comes with fried bacon, sausages, sautéed button mushrooms and a egg. It’s not very complex but the flavours were on point, especially with the local omelette that had which was packed with onions and green chillies.
Another interesting detail that we found out was the fact that Warwick Gardens actually grows most of their vegetables in their own little farm, with their tea and coffee also coming from their own estate.
The area surrounding the bungalow makes for some excellent walks along the hills and the tea plantations. We suggest waking up as early possible, going for the walk and then heading back for a hearty breakfast. I’ll let the photos do the talking.
Warwick Gardens is actually around 18 kms from Nuwara Eliya town which is about a 30 minute drive from Nuwara Eliya town along the Hakgala Road (A5), passed the Hakagala gardens and turning to the Rendapola road (B507). The final kilometre is a bit treacherous but we were told that the road would be fixed up in the coming months.
Jetwing really outdid themselves with the renovation of the Scottish planter’s bungalow, keeping things clean and true to its roots. At the time of writing this review the rooms at Warwick Gardens start at Rs. 23,350 on a BnB basis, which we feel definitely worth it, with all that they offer.

Proglacial lakes of Minnesota
The proglacial lakes of Minnesota were lakes created in what is now the U.S. state of Minnesota in central North America in the waning years of the last glacial period. As the Laurentide ice sheet decayed at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation, lakes were created in depressions or behind moraines left by the glaciers. Evidence for these lakes is provided by low relief topography and glaciolacustrine sedimentary deposits. Not all contemporaneous, these glacial lakes drained after the retreat of the lobes of the ice sheets that blocked their outlets, or whose meltwaters fed them. There were a number of large lakes, one of which, Glacial Lake Agassiz, was the largest body of freshwater known to have existed on the North American continent; there were also dozens of smaller and more transitory lakes filled from glacial meltwater, which shrank or dried as the ice sheet retreated north.
Glacial Lake Agassiz
Glacial Lake Agassiz was an enormous lake, larger in area than all the Great Lakes combined, and the largest body of fresh water ever to have existed in North America. It extended from its outlet near Browns Valley, Minnesota west into South Dakota and North Dakota and north into Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. In Minnesota the lake occupied the Red River Valley in northwestern Minnesota and the western part of the watershed of the Rainy River in the northern part of the state. Its southern outlet was through the Traverse Gap, a spillway channel cut through the Big Stone Moraine by Glacial River Warren, an enormous stream which carved the valley of the Minnesota River as well as that of the Upper Mississippi River below the confluence of those successor streams. Lake Agassiz' present-day remnants include Lake of the Woods and Upper and Lower Red Lake.
Glacial Lake Upham
Glacial Lake Upham was formed in the wake of the retreat of the St. Louis Sublobe of the Des Moines Lobe. It drained through a series of successively lower outlets to Glacial Lake Duluth. Its former lake bed is now a broad boggy area comprising much of the watershed of the latter stream.
Glacial Lake Aitkin
Glacial Lake Aitkin was also a product of the recession of the St. Louis Sublobe, and for significant portions of its history was contiguous with Glacial Lake Upham. It occupied a broad lowland along the valley of the present-day Mississippi River between Grand Rapids and Aitkin in north central Minnesota. The lake bed is now a sandy and clayey plain. It is also a source for reed-sedge peat, which is harvested, processed, and packaged for agricultural applications; it enables plants to fix nitrogen and thereby reduces the need for fertilizer. The company harvesting the peat and the University of Minnesota-Duluth are developing processes to use the peat to extract mercury and other heavy metals, and also to remove sulfates from water by a method which enables the peat to be reused.
Glacial Lake Duluth
Glacial Lake Duluth is the name given to the largest of a series of named lakes or lake stages occupying parts of the Lake Superior basin. As its current outlet to the east was blocked by the Superior Lobe of the ice sheet, Lake Duluth drained through two outlets which crossed the present Laurentian Divide to the valley of the Saint Croix River and the Mississippi. One outlet was a route from the western part of the lake through the Nemadji River basin and down the present Moose and Kettle Rivers; the other was via the modern Bois Brule River to the Saint Croix. At its peak, Lake Duluth was 148 meters higher than Superior's present level. When the glacier retreated the lake was able to drain to the east through the Saint Lawrence River to the sea.
Glacial Lake Grantsburg
Lake Grantsburg, formed when the Grantsburg Sublobe of the Des Moines Lobe blocked southward drainage of the ice-free land to its north. It extended from St. Cloud east-northeast to Grantsburg, Wisconsin, whence its outflow ran south along the east front of the ice sheet down the valley of the Saint Croix River.
Glacial Lake Minnesota
Lake Minnesota was a complex of lakes formed by or on the Des Moines Lobe generally south of Mankato, Minnesota. Evidence for it is found in lacustrine sediments in that region. The lakes may have consisted of bodies of water trapped on the surface of the decaying ice sheet, lakes created as the lobe retreated, or depressions filled from the overflow of Glacial River Warren.

“Games are a series of interesting decisions” – Sid Meier, most well known for Civilization.
As a life-long gamer, I couldn’t help but notice the many ways that university is just like gaming. I find that it gives me some extra motivation if I tackle my university related problems from a gaming mindset instead of a stressed-student mindset. Below you can find my favourite comparisons. Bonus points to those that can name all the games featured!
#1 The challenge of the game is just like the challenge of university.
Now that this has been said, there are a lot of interesting parallels:
- It’s not as fun or enriching when the difficulty is set too high or too low.
- Every player has a different natural starting difficulty
- Difficulty in university can be adjusted through things like – using resources, raising or lowering course load, attending workshops to increase skills, etc.
- It can help to get to the end goal if you break up the bigger picture into chapters with boss fights. The boss fight of fourth year could be a thesis, for example.
- Just like good ‘ol fashioned Prima guides, help from experts and experienced students are always available at a cost – time (and/or money).
- Practice and investing time into the game really does result in a stronger player.
- Cheating not only makes the game less fun but it prevents you from gaining any real experiences.
#2 A good game pays attention to the details for a more enriched experience.
Many of my favourite games have a rich world with extras beyond the main gameplay. I like exploring and finding all the secrets the game has to offer. I’ll try to talk to all the side characters to better understand the story, buy all the different kinds of abilities and items, and spend time playing any mini-games.
University can be ‘played’ in much the same way. You can certainly zoom through the main adventure without ever paying attention to your environment and what is has to offer, but the experience you can have if you do stop to see what’s around you can be vastly greater. York features over 400 clubs, 40+ eateries, tons of resources, and great events all year long. Why not take advantage of that?
#3 Having the right amount of options available can make or break the experience.
Now everyone certainly has a preferred amount of freedom in their games. Some people like games with little freedom where you follow the prescribed path to enjoy the story the way the game designers planned. Other games prefer games with open worlds where the freedom and available options are essentially infinite.
In the real world, it’s been my experience that it’s better to have personal freedom somewhere in the middle and I think university tends to hit that note quite perfectly. You generally have degree requirements that ensure that you are capable of tackling any next steps you need for your dream career but you also have the freedom to indulge in electives that might interest you on a personal level. You have to have a certain amount of credits to be considered full time but you have the freedom to make your own schedule. These freedoms allow students to tailor their university experience to their strengths which is invaluable.
#4 The environment is often what sets your first impression and tone of the game.
On that note it is super important to get a feel for the environment of the university you think you want to attend. Here at York, we actually have two campuses that offer a significantly different feel. Keele campus has been described as more industrial but I also find it quite picturesque at different times of the year and many of the newer buildings have beautiful and unique architecture. Glendon campus is the exact opposite in many ways, offering a smaller and more natural landscape with a more cosy student body but without the same excitement that Keele often offers.
If you don’t like the environment of where you are studying, you can probably still get through the ‘game’ but it will likely be less enjoyable and inspired. This is why it’s quite fantastic that new resources such as ONTransfer can help you determine if transferring is a good option for you.

Vanderbilt Medical School
A lecture by Fr. Dominic Langevin, OP (Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception)
Light Hall, Room 214
Free and open to the public.
The Christian virtue of hope orients persons toward the God-given happiness promised in heaven: indeed, toward God himself. But how does this hope take shape in our lives now? This lecture will explore how the sacraments of Jesus Christ are means toward heavenly bliss. The Catholic sacraments are instruments of hope. Indeed, they give a taste of heaven on earth. The lecture will give special attention to how these Catholic realities apply to patients as well as to medical personnel in their professional and personal lives.
About the Speaker:
Fr. Dominic Langevin is an assistant professor of systematic theology at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC, and editor in chief of the journal The Thomist. He specializes in sacramental theology. He did his undergraduate studies at Yale University and his doctoral studies at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. He entered the Order of Friars Preachers in 1998 and was ordained a priest in 2005. He was formerly assigned as a parochial vicar at St. Thomas Aquinas University Parish in Charlottesville, Virginia, serving the University of Virginia. | <urn:uuid:e4abd333-1a91-4d8e-9bdb-c018eed8620c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://thomisticinstitute.org/events/sacraments-as-instruments-of-hope | 2019-06-16T09:35:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998084.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616082703-20190616104703-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.949594 | 266 | [

Arizona’s hot, dry desert landscape is a challenging climate for growing roses. At temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, rose plants use food faster than its foliage can produce it from sunlight, water and nutrients. Certain types of roses can survive and even thrive in the harsh Arizona weather. Selecting the proper type of roses to grow in the extreme heat is an important step toward having a successful garden.
Video of the Day
Watering and Soil
Roses grown in Arizona need loamy, sandy soil that drains well. The dry, hot climate evaporates moisture quickly, making watering of roses critical. Remove soil in the planting area to a depth of 18 inches. Replace it with a mixture of loam, sand and organic matter. After planting the roses, add a thick layer, 4 to 6 inches, of shredded bark mulch to retain moisture.
Do not overprune roses in Arizona's hot climate. Less pruning allows roses to grow more foliage so the plants can store energy and water for the summer. If necessary, prune roses in the cooler winter months such as December or January but only to shape the plants.
Fourth of July
A hardy rose, the Fourth of July survives well in heat and can grow in cooler climates until the first frost. It has a fruity fragrance with a hint of citrus unlike the traditional rose scent. A fast-growing climbing rose bush, it reaches 6 to 8 feet when mature. An excellent repeating rose, the red, white-striped ruffled flowers, about 3 inches wide, bloom throughout the year. The bright green foliage is disease resistant to rust, black spots and mildew. Pruning it in January helps promote new growth during the summer. The Fourth of July rose is ideally suited to grow on an arch, trellis or pergola.
With soft pink and white petals that resemble apple blossoms, the Ballerina rose is an ideal shrub to cover small to large areas. Tolerant of heat, it is a good repeater in the summer with a second blooming before cooler weather. A small shrub that grows 4 to 5 feet, it requires little maintenance. In the fall, its pale rose hips change to a bright red-orange color. The blooms normally reach less than 2 inches wide. Prune the shrub to any shape, size or allow it to spill over the landscape naturally.
With an almost perfect form for each rose, the Gemini Hybrid is a favorite as a cutting rose and in flower shows. A large flower with 15 to 20 cream and pink colored petals, a bloom reaches 5 to 7 inches wide. The pink color deepens as the plant ages and the dark green foliage has a glossy appearance. A Gemini Hybrid rose plant can grow up to 5 feet tall. It is an outstanding repeater with a light, sweet fragrance that makes it a good choice for bouquets.
Rosa Blush Noisette
Known as the Rose of the South, the Rosa Blush Noisette is one of America’s oldest roses. It thrives in warm to hot climates. An eye-catching bush, the plant produces clusters of red-purple buds that bloom into a white or pink flower with a yellow center and a spicy rose scent. The Rosa Blush also has few thorns. Reaching up to 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide, the bush is a great climber on walls, arches and trellises. With a bloom size about 3 inches wide, it looks appealing in any size garden. | <urn:uuid:8c50f379-716a-4cd1-8046-0c0acf53c5af> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.ehow.com/info_8047674_roses-plant-arizona.html | 2019-06-17T13:43:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998475.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617123027-20190617145027-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.921215 | 727 | [

Joonko (Techstars ‘16, Salesforce Incubator '17) is the first AI-powered diversity and inclusion coach for companies, which can identify and solve unconscious bias, in real-time, company-wide.
If you’re human, you’re biased. This is one of our most fundamental attributes; you can't prevent it from happening. That's also the reason why US companies spend and lose more than $70 billion a year on and due to diversity programs, training and consulting, with low success rate.
Joonko leverages your company’s existing data (from SaaS platforms) to identify unconscious workplace bias as it occurs, and immediately engages the relevant executive, manager or employee with insights and recommendations - enabling them to make real-time corrective actions.
We’re solving diversity and inclusion challenges using artificial intelligence, in real-time, while delivering measurable results that can move the needle for our customers. By doing so, we provide companies with a platform to engage in truly diverse and equal talent acquisition, management and development – for the very first time. The bottom line is that doing so results in more money for the organization, and this guarantees true change for diversity and inclusion.

Should startups be more disruptive or should they be more innovative? This was essentially the core strand of discussion at the Tipping Point #3 as the official theme for this Tipping Point was “Disrupt & Displace VS Innovate & Accommodate”.
The Tipping Point is a series of community events organised by Vulcan Post, and they’re intended to provide an avenue for startups, entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone really to converse and to learn from one another.
Given that this was our third installment of The Tipping Point in Malaysia, we incorporated the feedback we received from the earlier events by enabling the discourse with a panel of four notable speakers.
The panel of four was split into two teams, Team Disrupt and Team Innovate, and both teams had to chime in on the challenges, opportunities and the characteristics of their respective industries.
We held the Tipping Point #3 in at The Co. Kuala Lumpur, a community-oriented, co-working space that’s located at The Row in KL and Bangsar and we had more than 170 people in attendance. This event was made possible thanks to LunchKaki, EnParty, Augustine Smokery, The Co. Kuala Lumpur, Helpr, and Uber.
By 7pm, we began seeing a small crowd gathering around the registration table. After a couple of technical mishaps, registration was in full force and the venue was getting packed. The early attendees helped themselves to appetisers (cold smoked salmon, smoked duck, and salmon belacan) by Augustine Smokery, pizzas, and gelato by EnParty.
The venue was jam-packed and it was filled with friendly chatter about startups, ideas, and other topics. By 8, our editor Sarah officially got the ball rolling with a couple of introductory remarks, and soon after we jumped right into the panel discussion.
Team Disrupt was being represented by Wong Whei Meng from Speedrent and Warren Chan from Parkeasy, and on other hand we had Dato’ Chevy Beh from BookDoc and M.Kanashan from NeonRunner representing on Team Innovate.
The premise of the panel wasn’t to determine whether disruption or innovation was a better aim per se, but rather it was to understand how things are like on both sides of the fence.
As the Vulcan Post Malaysian team, we defined disruptive startups as ones that introduce a completely new product or ones that create so much value that it completely displaces the old way of doing things.
As such, we felt Whei Meng from Speedrent, a rental platform that connects landlords and tenants together without the need for property agents, would be able to share this thoughts on disrupting the highly regulated property industry. He defined disruption as innovation on steroids and he touched on how technology streamlines the entire rental process and provides us with information much quickly than agents can. He also shared his thoughts on how the Board of Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents (BOVAEA), was indirectly inhibiting innovation.
Warren Chan from Parkeasy outlined the difficult process of how they had to struggle their way through organisational bureaucracy just to get access to shopping malls and their parking lots, so that they could pilot their app. Parkeasy is a platform that’s looking to disrupt the way we park and as such, they had to deal with a significant amount of backlash from people who felt they were edging a social divide between the rich and poor. He spoke about how the team managed to handle this backlash and in the process, and to educate their stakeholders.
On the other hand, we defined innovative startups as ones that introduce new methods or products to improve and elevate the way things are done in the current market.
Dato’ Chevy Beh shared his experiences and the lessons he learnt from running BookDoc, an online healthcare platform that’s looking to connect healthcare providers and patients together. He shared his rationale behind building BookDoc in such a way that it appeals to corporate clients first and then targeting the consumer market. This, he believes, gave them sufficient room to steadily improve their platform to appeal to the consumer marker. He was also quite vocal about the idea of innovation as long as it’s legal and he also suggested that startups should clearly understand and study the landscape of their industries before branching out.
M.Kanashan spoke about the inefficiencies of the spoke-hub distribution model and the traditional form of logistics, and how he’s trying to correct them through NeonRunner. NeonRunner is a modern day logistics company that operates a fleet of motorcycle couriers that focuses on point-to-point deliveries. He shared his thoughts on what’s required to ensure that same-day delivery becomes a reality and also their fight to empower the runners of their industry. He also outlined how they had to deal with challenges while doing so and the importance of building a flexible network to cater to businesses and e-commerce platforms.
All in all, the discussion was very informative and as the moderator, I felt a lot from the four speakers about the different facets of their industry.
As the Vulcan Post Malaysian team, we would like to thank LunchKaki, EnParty, Augustine Smokery, The Co. KL, Helpr, Uber, our fantastic speakers, and everyone else who took the time to make the Tipping Point #3 a success.
We sincerely hope that everyone had an enjoyable time and we also want to thank the guests who were so dedicated to join the event that they stood at the back just to listen to our panel of speakers. We’ve uploaded pictures of The Tipping Point #3 on our Facebook page, try to spot and tag yourself here!
We are always on the lookout for people who can contribute to making our next event (The Tipping Point #4) an even better one.

At the end of the day yesterday, a beautiful March day in Vermont that climbed past 50 degrees F, a day we had watched the ice in the Winooski River breaking away in pieces…
…Mom and I were scheduled to fly back home.
When I am sitting in an airport waiting for my flight, and in taxis the plane I will soon be on, and off come the passengers who have arrived at their destination, I feel envious as they walk past me. I want to be them in the sense of I want to be arriving, not leaving. I want the travel part of my trip to be over. It’s great to spend time with the people I love who live far away, it’s good for the soul to see other hillsides and travel other roads and gain new mental images of the ever-changing world, but I wish I could snap my fingers at the end of that and just be home.
Some trips are smooth and easy. The flights run on time and are reasonably unbumpy, and there is enough time to get from Plane A to Plane B without undue hurry or worry. Coming home yesterday was not that kind of trip.
In Burlington Mom and I heard over the PA system that anyone with a connection in Philadelphia would miss their connection because of weather issues, so they might as well find accommodation overnight and try again today. Our connection was in Washington DC, but what weather could affect Philly so as to delay or cancel all connecting flights but not affect DC?? We don’t know and can’t know, but the announcement did not make us feel better about getting on a plane.
Then we were told that the plane that would take us to DC would be landing in Burlington at the same time as it was supposed to take off to DC, and in fact it landed more than ten minutes after that, delaying our start by a good half hour. Try as they did to make up for the lost time, we landed in DC at the same time as our connector was supposed to be taking off. That is, we arrived in DC at 10pm and our subsequent flight to Cville was scheduled to take off at 10pm. We were in row 6, which got us off the plane quicker than if we had been in row 22, but still I had serious doubts. When I showed the flight attendant my boarding pass for the next flight and asked her if we were going to make it, she said to ask the person at the bottom of the stairs. He said You will make it.
What does he know? I led Mom, who is not walking fast these days, across the tarmac toward the door he indicated, and immediately found someone who looked like she worked there and said, “I need a wheelchair for my mother!” I realize in retrospect I did not say it calmly and politely. I did not ask. I said it emphatically, being worried (very worried by this point) not only about our flight but also about Mom going faster than she should or could. To their credit, they moved fast to get her a wheelchair, being prodded, possibly, by the panic in my voice. We went as quickly as possible – the wheelchair driver assuring me all the way that we would make it – all of one gate past the one where we disembarked, watched the guy at the desk say into a phone, “Two more for Charlottesville” (as in “Don’t close the door just yet”) and hustled out the door, across the tarmac and onto the plane. Then they closed the door.
Whew! Once we were in our seats, the reality of the close call hit us and we both felt very grateful for the help we got. Mom worried that her inability to move fast had added to the stress, but I told her that having an 84-year-old, less-than-speedy travel companion came in handy. If nothing else, it called attention to our plight. We were on the plane and that’s all that mattered. Time to relax, right?
You bet. Time to resume The Turning by Sarah Silvey, a new fantasy novel I can hardly put down. The part of me that loves invented characters and their corresponding powers, deeds and foibles – yes, the same woman who loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Aquaman, The Avengers and all the rest – switched on as soon as I started reading it. Sarah’s fabulous characters and intriguing storyline picked up my exhausted self and plunked it squarely into an imaginary world with far greater challenges and gave me somewhere else to reside temporarily after the harrowing gate-to-gate mad dash. What is making our flight to Charlottesville by the skin of our teeth compared to trying to stop an evil “Other” who can obliterate a small town by commanding the river to overtake it in a flash flood?
The Turning starts with a young woman named Sienna who is vaguely aware of her unusual abilities, including being able to know what people are thinking. Her village is small, her job of ferrying people across the river is simple, but trouble starts when the blue-cloaked woman with a frightening aura crosses. Enter a brave knight of the Darcean Order who cannot stop the flood but saves Sienna from it, mutants with creepy eyes and grossly misshapen bodies, ordinary folk who chatter cheerfully and care about their companions and a rat-faced villain gathering the mutants for purposes of subterfuge, and you can imagine my current dilemma. I’m home, yes, my bags are unpacked, yes, but it’s time for dinner and all I want to do is read! Brennan, the knight, explained the backstory this way:
…“He was the first Other. Fifteen hundred years ago, Azar united the lands to the east of the desert with his power. He named it Azaria, and together he and his queen ruled the people, masquerading as gods.
“Nobody denies that the things they did were magnificent. Through their power, they made the roads and buildings, many of which were so strong that they are still standing today. By their influence, the yield of crops magnified a hundredfold. Nobody had to work; they only had to worship the Azars and obey their rules.
“Lots of people see these relics and yearn for the wealth and glory of the past, but they have forgotten the Azars’ cruelty. They murdered people for entertainment, made them into slaves, sacrificed them as their divine right. They were depraved. People were forbidden to read and write, to question their god-kings, to meet in secret. Others were employed by Azar to watch the people for rebellion, and any independence of mind or deed was found and crushed. The easy lifestyle and propaganda promoted by the Azars made the people bland and ignorant.
“The Others were insatiable. Masses of people were slain in battles for supremacy between members of the Azar family. Others ruled the cities as well; they played mayor or magistrate, wallowing in luxury and using their power to work their way on people.
“For five hundred years the descendants of the Azars ruled Azaria in blood and wealth, until an assassin found his way into their palace undetected and killed the last king and queen where they slept in their beds. The empire fell apart. Without their gods, the people were lost. They lived in the houses that still remained, but they didn’t remember how to work or think or fend for themselves. Lots of people died, but slowly they learned to survive on their own again, by their own rules, through honest means.
“Today people look at the skeletons of these buildings and they fantasize. They hear tales of gods that walked among men, abundant food, easy lifestyles, and they yearn for those days to be back again. But below the earth, where they cannot see, are the skeletons of the people whom these so-called gods trampled in their lust and greed.”
The evil empire has fallen, its inhabitants are “free again, along with all the responsibility and suffering which that entailed,” but their own history, their own shackles, their own pain, which should guide them to create a better tomorrow, has “drifted into the mythology of the gods. Azar’s name and his power are all the truth that is remembered.” Sienna wonders, “How can people have forgotten something so important?”
Indeed! Why do people forget what’s important? Bravo to Sarah, a fine young writer who gives us not only an engaging story but also a striking window into the risks of allowing ourselves to be led by those who do not, despite appearances, have our interests in mind, but rather, strictly and only, their own power and gain. Oh, and don’t forget how we ourselves, with whatever we uniquely bring to the table, can affect the outcome. Will Sienna develop her own powers and help Brennan take down the evil Others? I hope so, but how will she do it? I don’t know yet, but I suspect I’ll be up till all hours tonight finding out how the story plays out. You’ve got my attention, Sarah, and your wonderfully written story not only entertains me, it conjures up the parallels we all face.
Is there evil in our world too? Undeniably. Are we, to our ultimate detriment, being led? Sometimes. Can we battle all the wrongs? Hardly. Can we think for ourselves, develop our own strengths and avoid some of the downsides of those who would rule us? Of course we can.
May we never forget what’s important and always work for good.

An infant sleeping chair linked to dozens of deaths in the United States has been recalled in Canada.
Health Canada says four models of the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleeper are being recalled because they do not meet Canadian safety standards for bassinets.
It is believed that 600 of the sleepers were sold via Amazon’s Canadian website between January 2018 and April 2019. Health Canada is not aware of any other purchase points where Canadians could have bought the sleeper models covered in the recall.
Nearly five million Rock ‘n Play Sleepers were recalled in the U.S. last month. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission linked the product to at least 32 cases in which infants died after rolling onto their stomachs or their sides while unrestrained in the sleepers.
There have not been any reported safety incidents involving the sleepers in Canada.
|Recall: Baby deaths linked to Fisher-Price sleeper. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said there were 10 infant deaths associated with the Fisher-Price product since 2015.|
|At the time of the U.S. recall, Fisher-Price said the recall was issued due to “reported incidents in which the product was used contrary to the safety warnings and instructions.”
Further details, including a full list of affected models, are available in the Health Canada recall notice. Anyone who has one of the sleepers is being urged to contact Amazon for a full refund.
This recall involves the following styles of Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleepers sold on Amazon.ca.

So, you might be wondering how on earth you're gonna cut a number out of a cake. Don't stress, you've got options! For this cake, we traced our number on the back of an empty cereal box and cut it out. We then placed the number on top of our stacked cakes and used it as a stencil. If you're feeling brave, you could totally free-hand it! If you're not feeling brave (no shade) you can buy number shaped cake molds that will bake into perfect numbers. As long as you top it with a fun assortment of candies and/or fruits, it'll look adorable no matter what.
Looking for a way to use up those cake scraps? These cake balls are the perfect treat for birthday party guests.

boxes vanilla cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
(3 sticks) butter, softened
unsweetened cocoa powder
pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350º and line two 9"-x-13” pans with parchment paper. Prepare cake mixes according to package directions and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
Make buttercream: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat until combined, then add cocoa powder, vanilla, heavy cream, and salt and beat until combined. (If you desire a thinner consistency, add 1 more tablespoon cream.)
When cakes are cool, flip onto a cutting board level them with a serrated knife. Stack one on top of the other and cut out desired number. Discard scraps, or save them for another use.
Unstack cakes and pipe or spread a thick layer of buttercream on top of one of the cakes. Stack with second cake and again frost top with buttercream. Garnish with candy of your choice. | <urn:uuid:2c19e0b4-6fbf-4cc5-be4b-e0ead3ad414a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a26471897/easy-number-cake-recipe/ | 2019-06-25T16:37:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999853.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625152739-20190625174739-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.903586 | 403 | [

Flutter is a framework and SDK that allows you to build native mobile apps for iOS and Android with one language (Dart, which is fairly easy to learn) instead of the native platform development languages (ObjectiveC/ Swift for iOS, Java for Android) you would have to learn otherwise.
This does not only sound nice, it also is pretty fun to work with!
You save a lot of time because you don’t have to learn two different languages, leave alone write two different apps.
I got a complete course on Flutter + Dart in case you want to learn it from scratch!

# What’s good about Flutter?
Flutter is easy to learn, under active development, backed by Google and growing strongly!
With Google being the developer and maintainer of Flutter, you can also rely on it not going anywhere. Google also acts as a marketing machine since it does not only have its reputation but also uses Flutter in internal apps - this proves that Flutter is a real alternative for real (enterprise-level) apps!
Flutter also is relatively new, it reached version 1.0 at the end of 2018. This implies some disadvantages (see below) but it also means that we’ll still see exciting new features being added and more and more resources to be released. You also got more influence on its future development - posting in the Github issue section or providing pull requests is a good start.
It’s also worth noting that the team behind Flutter is not just working on Flutter’s core but also on a rich suite of plugins that allow you to tap into native device features like the camera.
That matters a lot because Flutter does not include any such native-feature bindings - it provides a bridge which you can run native device code with though.
Whilst this allows you to integrate any native code of your choice into your Flutter + Dart app, it also means that this native platform-specific code has to be written by someone. If that’s you, it also means that you still have to learn at least a bit of ObjectiveC or Java.
The mentioned plugins take that task away from you - they provide both the native platform code and the integration into Flutter + Dart. Hence you simply execute some Dart methods and use the native platform features under the hood.
It’s good, that the Flutter team itself works on those plugins as that ensures that the plugins are up-to-date and well-maintained.
# What could be better?
As mentioned, Flutter is relatively young. It has been in development for a few years but really only got more attention (internally and externally) like a year ago.
That also means that there will still be some bugs, missing features and unclear practices or patterns. The frameworks simply is yet to mature - and right now, it’s still under highly active development. You therefore should be prepared to learn more about it over the coming months.
As with all these cross-platform approaches, you also have to be aware of the fact that there will be frustrating moments.
You might be building an app that requires a certain feature that just isn’t supported by Flutter. Hence you either need to write your own native code or use a (third-party) plugin - if such a plugin exists.
Searching for such solutions and working around bugs or issues can be frustrating and time-consuming.
Overall, you typically save more time than you lose though - you still save all the hassle of learning two different languages and writing two different apps after all.
Speaking of “two different apps”, it’s also worth pointing out, that Flutter doesn’t (currently) give you widgets (the building blocks of Flutter UIs) that automatically adopt to the platform the app is running on. It’s not clear if such a feature is coming, for the moment, you need to manually determine the platform and render different widgets.
That gives you more flexibility but can also lead to more code being required.
# What will change in 2019?
In 2019, the Flutter team will continue working on these core plugins to bring them up to the same level as Flutter itself.
They also got plans to offer more pre-styled widgets that meet iOS’ design specifications. At the moment, you can still clearly see that Google’s Material Design was the target design originally.
In general, the goal clearly is to polish Flutter and to get rid of bugs or weak spots it might still have.
I would also expect, that we see more patterns to establish and best practices to emerge.
# What will change in 2020+?
In 2020 and the years thereafter, the Flutter team will of course continue to work on Flutter and polish it more and more.
They are also working on a project called “Hummingbird” which has the goal of allowing you to use one codebase to not just build iOS and Android apps but also to build web apps from it. If that works out, it’s a pretty exciting idea!
Maybe - and that’s really hard to tell right now - Flutter might even replace Android development, as we currently know it, in the future.
Flutter is still maturing and therefore has its rough edges, missing features and bugs.
But it’s extremely promising and already pretty fun to use!
The Flutter team is putting a lot of effort into it and I would expect that we see more and more issues to disappear in the near future.
This then leaves more time for developing cross-platform apps with a single language and framework! | <urn:uuid:d19da5ef-61a3-4766-8ac3-1fce7ea97952> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://academind.com/learn/flutter/flutter-in-2019-and-beyond/ | 2019-06-26T20:45:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.955687 | 1,261 | [

Former Karnataka chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah Wednesday challenged the BJP to come clean on its alleged attempts to bribe his party MLAs to destabilise the coalition government in the state. The Congress leaders are locked in a war of attrition with the BJP ever since the ministry was recently expanded and reshuffled, amid reports that the saffron party was in touch with disgruntled MLAs who missed ministerial berths. “I am not indulging in a blame game with the BJP in connection with attempts to bribe the MLAs. There is a basis behind the statement. Is it not true that they (BJP) made an offer to B C Patil? When the time is ripe, I will disclose a few more things,” Siddaramaiah said in a tweet.
Two days ago, the leader of the Congress Legislature Party had alleged that the BJP had made a fresh attempt to topple the Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) coalition government by offering Rs 25 to 30 crore to the legislators. Rubbishing the charge, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president B S Yeddyurappa had asked Siddaramaiah to speak responsibly and provide evidence to back his charge.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara too had on Tuesday accused the BJP of making a fresh bid to topple the government, claiming that efforts were underway to arrange a meeting of his party’s disgruntled MLAs with BJP president Amit Shah. Parameshwara’s charge had come amid reports that aggrieved Congress MLA, Ramesh Jarkiholi, who was dropped from the ministry in the recent reshuffle, was camping in Delhi. Jarkiholi, who claims to have the support of a significant number of Congress MLAs, has remained incommunicado since he was removed from the ministry. | <urn:uuid:c705797f-c355-4d53-9102-2e247fd7a9a4> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/siddaramaiah-dares-bjp-to-come-clean-on-bid-to-topple-congress-jds-government/1431520/ | 2019-06-16T11:27:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998100.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616102719-20190616124719-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.979963 | 409 | [

Each fall, Wellesley College hosts the Ann S. Batchelder Golf Invitational at the par-72, 5,860-yard Nehoiden Golf Club.
The 11th Annual Ann S. Batchelder Invitational was held on Saturday and Sunday, September 15-16, 2018. Amherst College took home the team title for the third year in-a-row, with Morgan Yurosek winning individual medalist honors for the second time at the event.
Ann S. Batchelder
Ann S. Batchelder has been an active supporter of Wellesley Athletics for over 40 years and was inducted into the Wellesley Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016. Ann was a Wellesley faculty member for 38 years, teaching physical education and also serving as one of the school’s varsity squash coaches. She retired in the spring of 2009, establishing a charitable gift annuity for the Friends of Wellesley College Athletics. Her generosity created one of the largest gifts from a member of the College’s academic community and will benefit Wellesley student-athletes for years to come.
Nehoiden Golf Course
In 1892, a seven-hole golf course was constructed on the grounds of Wellesley College, one of the first golf courses in New England. Although golf was noted as a college activity as early as 1893, a student golf club was not formed until the fall of 1896 under the auspices of the newly formed Wellesley Athletic Association. Eventually, the Wellesley Golf Club was formed, with its members drawn from the College, Dana Hall School, and the Town of Wellesley. In 1900, the club petitioned the College for development of a new nine-hole golf course on college property, built on the current Washington Street-Dover Road site. In 1906, the College reclaimed possession of the course and responsibility for its maintenance and management. The club was reorganized as the Wellesley College Golf Club and, in 1908, the College reopened membership to residents of the Town of Wellesley. The golf course was renamed Nehoiden in 1929 and continues to be owned and maintained by the College. Nehoiden is currently the oldest nine-hole golf course in the country.

Finchley Dog Sitting and Pet Sitting Services
Back in the day, if family or friends couldn’t care for our pets, they went into kennels, and while a good boarding kennel will take excellent care of your pets it can be a very uncertain or even distressing time for a dog or cat who is happy and comfortable at home, where he is settled in his own routine. Imagine, then, how much worse this could be for a pet who is nervous or unsure of new people, scared of noisy surroundings, or a rescue dog with bad memories of kennels and cages…
Finchley Dog Sitting and Pet Sitting you can trust
Dogs are part of the family and are happiest in their own, familiar surroundings. Nobody would dream of having their children cared for without checking credentials and ensuring the best possible environment for them, and it should be exactly the same for our dogs, so it’s good to know that now there’s an alternative to kennels. Finchley Dog Sitting and Pet Sitting Services can take care of your dog in his home.

Author: Audra North
Publisher: St Martin’s Press
Rating: 4 stars
Buy Links: Amazon
Type: Third Novel in Series
Provided by Publisher
Blurb: He wanted her the first time he saw her. It didn’t matter that he was on stage in front of a room full of reporters, or that his publicist was telling him to move on, or that she was asking him a question about racing. One look at her “just been bedded” hair — completely at odds with her deliciously prim appearance — and Ty Riggs is hooked.
Corrine Bellows is one of the woefully few women in a male profession: sports reporting. In a field where “Hey, sweetheart, can you fetch me a cup of copy” is part of her job description, she’s determined to keep things professional. And while interviewing Ty Riggs, the hottest new driver on and off the track, is a major scoop, Corrine knows that she is in major trouble when it becomes clear that Ty wants so much more and is determined to get it. As things heat up between them, Corrine finds herself on shakier ground. Her big secret just may destroy everything.
Review: What could be worse than a race car driver meeting and falling in love with a reporter, especially when he’s keeping a career-ending secret and she’s desperate to keep her job? Well, read this great new romance from Audra North and find out!
Ty Riggs was following his father’s dreams, competing in the professional world of racing. Being on the Riggs’ team and following in his dad Bobby’s footsteps was all he ever could have wanted. He’d been working hard for years to get where he was, so it was disappointing that when he won the first big race of the season, another racer–Dave Gilroy had accused him of cheating. No way would Ty ever do that!
But what no one else knew was that years before, without his father’s knowledge or consent, Bobby’s crew chief had bribed the frontrunner’s crew chief to make enough little mistakes so the frontrunner would lose. Bobby had won the championship and started Riggs Racing Team right after. There was no evidence that the crew chief had thrown the race, but money had changed hands and there wasn’t any way to prove that Bobby had won on his own. So that shadow always remained, a secret only a few knew. So did Gilroy know something or was he just guessing?
Then we have Cori, trying to make it in a man’s world of sports reporters. Her boss is a total jerk and isn’t giving her any stories. She knows she’s a good journalist, but if she never gets to write anything she’ll never get a chance to prove it. Along comes a story–but at a horrible price. Someone’s hired the paper to do an expose on Ty Riggs and she’s to do anything necessary to get close enough to him to get him to share his secrets. What the heck? That’s really creepy, and she hopes her writing will be enough to get her editor to back down on that… because she just can’t do it. After her first piece is a hit, she negotiates a deal that hopefully will save her from having to betray Ty’s secrets.
The heat was fast to burn just like you’d expect from a racing novel, with lots of emotional connections and a wonderful ending that made a first place finish in this reader’s heart.

Reddit is a good website with a devoted community, but it’s also the place to find weird stuff. From crazy TV show and movie theories, to peoples’ deepest and darkest secrets, you can bet that you’ll find whatever it is you’re looking for on Reddit.
Sex threads on Reddit are particularly interesting. If you decide to go down that rabbit hole, they can easily consume hours of your time because of their entertainment value. Obviously, someone had to create a thread with over 17,000 comments discussing the lines people are unable to cross when it comes to sex. Started by Redditor anadventurousguy, the epic thread includes all kinds of deal-breakers, ranging from rather innocent ones, to the ones that will make you question every stranger you ever meet again. Ever.
Here are 5 of the weirdest sex deal-breakers on the list.
“Maybe a bit late but who cares, once a girl asked me to bring my dog but when i asked what for she said that she wanted him to join us. Never got anywhere near her,” said one user. Maybe the girl just wanted to hang out with this person’s dog, innocently, and it was all a big misunderstanding?
Someone who’s turned on by STDs
“I was once told by someone that they have a sexual fantasy of getting an STD. Fucking goodbye.” People were quick to comment on this post, explaining that this is a fetish where they call themselves bug chasers.
This guy with a really low bar
“Probably when she doesn’t dress up as waluigi or danny devito.” I want to know more about this story, but at the same time, I don’t.
DJ Khaled’s enduring legacy
RELATED: 5 Quirky Dealbreakers In Dating
“When their ideas about women’s pleasure are the same as DJ Khalid’s.” Who would’ve thought DJ Khaled would be remembered for that very unfortunate comment?
Poor oral health
“A dirty tongue. You can be the hottest person in the world but if you open your mouth and your tongue is white or yellow or brown, I’m instantly turned off. Brush your tongues people!” While I agree with this post wholeheartedly, the level of specificity makes me think that this person has experienced some pretty awful sexual encounters. | <urn:uuid:9aee98dd-26f3-41ab-a1f7-2fa25b81eef6> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://thefreshtoast.com/culture/5-bizarre-sexual-dealbreakers/ | 2019-06-17T17:55:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.966434 | 510 | [

The Story of a Dress
Friday, March 08, 2019
An old friend , recently, sent me a picture of me at a luncheon in the early 90's. I have a big hat, a light tan and a huge grin. I am wearing a brocade dress of my mother's made by my grandmother. This is a mythic dress in my family.
My grandmother sewed to support her children. Grandma could make anything. Well, let me amend that statement. She could and would make anything if she liked the fabric and approved. In 1959,my mother had an important dinner to attend. We were living in public housing aka "the projects" in Brooklyn, New York so I imagine there wasn't extra cash floating around. Also, I grew up in a family with a very specific sense of style. I am unsure if the local shops had on offer anything that appealed. Grandma created our clothes from magazines and films. I was too young to remember who purchased the fabric but Grandma in Jamaica was charged with making the dress. Jamaica was Jamaica, West Indies and not Jamaica, New York. A swatch was produced so that matching shoes could be created. It was a big, important dinner. My mother's best friend's husband was both nervous and amazed that my mother had so much confidence in my grandmother. The dress arrived either the day before or the morning of the event. Of course, being created by my grandmother, it fit perfectly.
She went on to wear it several times.
I became engaged and was to be married in 1992. I was older. I had attended numerous balls and dances in my youth. I used to say I was "gowned out." I had had my share of glitter. I was also never one of those little girls who had endlessly dreamed and planned their weddings. I had only saved photos of two dresses - a Spanish style lace dress with long sleeves and a mantilla from the late 1960's and a flapperesque one from Women's Wear Daily in the 80's. Grandma was long gone by this time but I had the brilliant idea of wearing "the dress" as "the dress". This would include Grandma in my wedding and acknowledge my heritage. I was getting married before noon so the short dress was appropriate. I would have Grandma with me. But. And there always is a but. I was way too fat to fit into the dress. I tend to be fat when I am unhappy. The marriage didn't last.
Fast forward a few years, I left my husband and moved back with my mother. I was poor. Living in my mother's house was healthy. I lost the husband. I lost the weight. I had a luncheon to attend. My mother suggested "the dress" which now fit. I also wore the shoes.
My friend, who had invited me, loves this picture. She had her husband blow it up. She says I look so happy and there's that trademark smile. I was happy. I was returning to a life I had before marriage, to a world I knew.
I still have the dress and I am skinnier! Now, I just need an occasion (and to ignore the spectral leg.) | <urn:uuid:98e340d4-74d4-4740-9f90-731dc2352cc2> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=6573450 | 2019-06-18T21:14:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998817.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618203528-20190618225528-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.993023 | 660 | [

Upselling is a sales technique where the salesperson encourages a more expensive purchase by a customer by persuading them to get an upgraded version of an item or to purchase add-ons. Remember our food processor example? That food processor could probably be best used with a book of recipes, which also can be purchased at the same company’s website.
Robey is particularly rankled by the distinction between “beauty” and “luxury beauty” — a difference between a 6 and 10 percent commission under the new system. Almost none of the products she covers are grouped in Amazon’s luxury beauty category, although she considers many of them luxury goods. The result is a major incentive to write about brands in the favored category, although Robey says she won’t change the products she writes about.
It is important for you to learn some basic HTML as well as basic concepts pertaining to running a website. It’s not really tedious to understand and within a short period, you will have a grasp of it. Relying on purchased software might backfire because it might not give you what you really need and when things go wrong you will end up spending more than you ought to. Take time to learn these things and you won’t regret it.
Setting up a free Cloudflare account is a must for any website. It’ll add a performance boost and security with almost 0 effort. One tweak I recommend in Cloudflare is turning your wp-content/uploads directory into a fully cached directory using page rules. This means Cloudflare will serve all images from cache acting as a free CDN plus it's very simple to set up. Once you have the budget you can spring for the $20/m Cloudflare account which will automatically compress your images on the fly.
Building trust with your audience is paramount in affiliate marketing, and the quickest way to lose trust is to recommend products either you haven’t used before or that aren’t a good fit for your audience. Also make sure you never tell anyone to directly buy a product, you are simply recommending the product. The more helpful you are and the more you make quality recommendations, the more likely your web visitors will come back for your expertise.
The products and services you will be promoting to your audience must be relevant and good quality. Make sure you believe in them and know everything about them, because this will be crucial to you delivering the sales pitch to your audience. You need to build trust with your audience so make sure the products and services you choose to promote are trustworthy enough.
The easiest and most common way to start building an audience for a website is via social media. Depending on your niche and industry, you can choose from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and several other niche and location-specific networks. Building up an engaged and interested following on social media is a great opportunity to build relationships and once you have their trust, promote your products and services to them.
I do this because I want to build a solid reputation and a loyal readership of people who trust me. I’d rather make less money and still have a reader than make lots of money and never see the reader again. For me, this comes not only from my ethics but my belief that in the long term building a good profile and reputation leads to other opportunities for profit.
Although it differs from spyware, adware often uses the same methods and technologies. Merchants initially were uninformed about adware, what impact it had, and how it could damage their brands. Affiliate marketers became aware of the issue much more quickly, especially because they noticed that adware often overwrites tracking cookies, thus resulting in a decline of commissions. Affiliates not employing adware felt that it was stealing commission from them. Adware often has no valuable purpose and rarely provides any useful content to the user, who is typically unaware that such software is installed on his/her computer.
Your domain is the address for your website (e.g., www.affilorama.com) so this is the first thing you will need to do when setting up your site. Considering there are millions of websites on the internet, it's possible that the domain name you want may already be taken by someone else. So make sure you have several options in mind. Be sure to read our advice on how to choose a good domain name.
Websites consisting mostly of affiliate links have previously held a negative reputation for underdelivering quality content. In 2005 there were active changes made by Google, where certain websites were labeled as "thin affiliates". Such websites were either removed from Google's index or were relocated within the results page (i.e., moved from the top-most results to a lower position). To avoid this categorization, affiliate marketer webmasters must create quality content on their websites that distinguishes their work from the work of spammers or banner farms, which only contain links leading to merchant sites.
Start a new Facebook group in niche area and start recruiting people through paid advertising on Facebook to “like” your page. Paying Facebook for followers can be extremely cheap. I grew my Facebook following on DogFoodInsider.com to 25,000 followers at under 1 cent per like. The trick is, you have to be super targeted. My ad for DogFoodInsider.com simply said this…
I’m very newbie in this field, even I haven’t my website/blog pages. Its takes some time to build my website. With this article, I get some knowledge how to start. But I have question that if I want to start this from the social media like Facebook. Then what we should do first. Should we make a page relevant to niche ? And is social media is correct way to start or we should first make our own website/ blog pages?
Ohhh making that first affiliate sale might be the greatest feeling ever, even if it’s 18 cents. Here’s the sad thing though: most networks will have a minimum payout threshold that’s typically $50 or $100, so it may be a LONG time before you see the money. I used to be an affiliate for BlueHost, and after my first sale, I was stoked to see $65 in my affiliate report!! Legitimately, I felt like a millionaire. Unfortunately, BlueHost has a minimum payout of $100, so that money went untouched until I made another sale, but even then…
Amazon’s language: “… you will not engage in any promotional, marketing, or other advertising activities in any offline manner, including by using any of our or our affiliates’ trademarks or logos (including any Amazon Mark), any Content, or any Special Link in connection with an offline promotion or in any other offline manner (e.g., in any printed material, mailing, SMS, MMS, email or attachment to email, or other document, or any oral solicitation).”
Recently, our friend Kent from Nicheup gave me an interesting insight. According to his findings, massive organic social share is good enough to rank an article to the first page of Google. Whether that is applicable to your situation or not, you have to make sure that you are using social media for your website. Consider your website as a company.
When there are multiple affiliates involved in one transaction, payment gets much more complicated. Sometimes it’s even possible for affiliates to jump in at the last minute and claim commissions for customers brought in by other affiliates. Successful programs use multi-channel attribution to ensure the affiliates that create the most value get paid the most.
If you're not technically inclined at all, register your domain wherever you set up your hosting. Otherwise, you can save a few dollars by choosing a lower-cost provider. This is not a big deal for one or two sites, but it can be for 10 or 20. GoDaddy is a good option because it offers great domain management tools and at a low cost annually. One of the least expensive and reputable in the market is 1&1. Prices start at the low end of the spectrum for the first year with increases, sometimes significant for each subsequent year, depending on what plan you choose.
Naturally, it’s crucial to choose a niche that’s financially viable. This means you need to find a subject that enough people will be interested in. That may seem tricky, but there are actually a lot of options you can choose from. Performing keyword research is also a smart idea at this stage, to find out what keywords are driving the most traffic via search engines.
I’m not sure of the exact reasons why I started to rank, but I have a few theories. It was a very long, honest, and informative post on the subject. I believe this made it stand out from all the other reviews in which the author just wrote up a basic summary of what it’s about. It also is one of the latest reviews on the book, so perhaps google freshness has something to do with it. I haven’t done any linkbuilding on this page and it currently sits at #2.

Now, when I choose who to target for this ad, I would only target dog owners at least 25 years old who have “liked” Amazon.com in the past and live in the United States. Notice in the title I asked, “Are you a dog owner?” Well, I already know that everyone I’m targeting IS a dog owner! This, along with the catchy image, will grab their attention and cause them to read the body of the ad. If the body of the ad sounds interesting to them, they will click the ad and end up on Amazon.com through my Amazon Associates affiliate program link. Once on Amazon, the sky is the limit. Amazon is able to convert visitors like CRAZY. Just get potential buyers through the door and let Amazon handle the rest.
hey sean, am a newbie who is so ethusistic about online marketing. great post , i must commend , it came in handy. through your post i clearly understand that an affiliate mustr have a website and a blog as a platform for promoting the good and services. here the thing with me , i dont have either of them and am asking ….. is it advisable for me to delve in affilate marketing peradventure i get a blog running now …?
Affiliate marketing is something practically every website owner should have a basic understanding of in today’s digital world. Even if you don’t personally use it in your monetization strategy, there may be a time when you want to. This guide to affiliate marketing can get you several steps closer to understanding one of the most popular forms of website monetization online businesses use today.
Becoming a part of an affiliate network is an excellent strategy for bloggers looking to up their current income or even just to begin actually making money from their blog. There are several options when it comes to affiliate marketing as well as strategies for making affiliate marketing work for you. Below I will teach you what is affiliate marketing, examples of affiliate marketing in blogging, affiliate strategies and some of the top affiliate networks to join.
It’s a little silly how often people overlook this step. The simple math is, if you have more eyeballs on your affiliate links, the more likely you’ll make sales. Sure, that’s a bit of an oversimplification buuuut it still holds true that you should be trying to gain traffic on these posts anyway. So, remember the importance of promotion! It’s not enough to just write killer affiliate posts.
Before promoting your site, you would want to make sure there is a good amount of content there. You need to write several product reviews with 2-3 in each category created. You might also need to make categories for news, articles, commentary and others about the topic. The more the content on your site, the better. The amazing thing about all this is that as you writing all this, the search engines automatically are getting notified, if you turned the notifications on, mentioned earlier.
Thanks for reading, Charmaine! I’m not sure about Hong Kong-specific affiliate programs, but what I would say is that most retailers do have an affiliate program in place, so if there’s a particular HK brand or company you use a lot, Google their name + affiliate program to see if they have one. Besides that, the ones I suggested are open to you regardless of where you’re from!
I have yet to implement all the tools you have shared and recommended in this article, but I really like the way you explain things. It is written in a very easy-to-read style, and ho hype or exaggerated comments. Now I have to get busy and take the necessary time to study, and implement, your recommendations. Thank you for all that you have shared.
Building connections in your niche is essential. Once you know people posting similar content you can work with them to write guests posts on their blog. This is a great way to get backlinks since you'll be writing the content on their blog. If you have a huge article about the "best kettlebell for beginners" for example you could guest post for people in the health niche with kettlebell exercise tips.
URL masking: Often, you’ll find that affiliate links are a real, million character eyesore. It’s likely that your links will look like Merchant.com/dlfjlfjlfjdskljdfgimmeallyourmoneyalajdlkaf2131032klfjfdjldsjf. And let’s be honest, few people are going to want to click on that. URL masking is therefore when you create a prettier, cleaner “vanity URL” that makes your links more clickable. Some people use bit.ly, which has tracking purposes, or the WordPress Plugin Pretty Link.
It works for me & I've used it myself. It's really hard to promote something you haven't personally used and loved. A good example of this for me would be FlexJobs. I get a lot of questions about this program. If someone asks me where to find something in the dashboard, I can tell them. If they tell me they aren't finding ANY jobs to apply to, I can provide them with a list of steps that may change that. If they ask me if I pay for a membership myself, I can, with 100% honesty, say YES.
Amazon has spent years perfecting the art of online selling and you’ll learn a lot about online marketing by observing how they do it. They constantly test different ways of promoting products and have evolved their site quite a lot over the years. See what widgets they use to promote related products, watch how they use reader reviews, and see the way that they describe products.
I am an active reader of this blog, one of my favorite blog. In fact, I learned blogging from this blog. Harsh is really a true inspiration for me to start a blog. However, Sarfaraz you have penned the article crisp and crystal clear to understand and will surely try these methods in affiliate marketing. Looking forward for another post.Till then have a blast.
Another compelling aspect of affiliate marketing is that it lets you be creative, and provide something genuinely useful to your audience. Since you can use affiliate links pretty much anywhere, you can set up a review site, publish long-form articles, or even produce video content. Since you’re promoting other companies’ products, you don’t even need to worry about actually creating, shipping, and supporting the items yourself.
Something to not overlook also is Pinterest, on almost all of my popular posts I spend the time to make a Pinterest specific image for them. If you don't know how to use Adobe Photoshop you can use a free online tool like Canva to create images. There are also plenty of WordPress plugins that add pin buttons to your blog as well. There are plenty of ways you can use Pinterest to drive traffic, see more tips on Buffer's blog.
At MoreNiche, our commissions are some of the highest found on any affiliate network selling physical products. We actually turn away potential advertisers who we believe don’t offer a fair deal. In fact, none of our advertisers’ commission rates fall below 30% per sale and the most they pay is 80%! That means for every sale you generate with a value of £100, you could potentially earn between £30 and £80 in commission. Not bad, we think you’ll agree!
Do you have zero interest in an expensive mountain bike the company you are an affiliate of sells? Well, you probably don’t want to feature it on your blog, as it is extremely difficult to persuade readers (or anyone for that matter) that they should buy something you wouldn’t be caught spending a single penny on. When you are passionate about a product or–at the very least–interested in learning more about it, this will come through to your readers, engage them and better coax them to buy
Awesome article! This is jam packed with great info. I am just starting a personal finance blog with my fiance and we were a little confused about how to start monetizing. We were initially thinking about using Google AdSense but between this post and another blog I read I am surely convinced that’s not the correct route. I’m really happy you have shared this information because it’s provided an excellent starting point for creating income.
Cookie stuffing involves placing an affiliate tracking cookie on a website visitor's computer without their knowledge, which will then generate revenue for the person doing the cookie stuffing. This not only generates fraudulent affiliate sales but also has the potential to overwrite other affiliates' cookies, essentially stealing their legitimately earned commissions.
Cost per click was more common in the early days of affiliate marketing but has diminished in use over time due to click fraud issues very similar to the click fraud issues modern search engines are facing today. Contextual advertising programs are not considered in the statistic pertaining to the diminished use of cost per click, as it is uncertain if contextual advertising can be considered affiliate marketing. | <urn:uuid:b5491814-8d00-4448-8234-72a456b67df6> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://affiliatemarketingplanet.com/affiliate-marketing-flipkart-login-can-affiliate-marketing-make-money.html | 2019-06-24T14:42:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999539.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624130856-20190624152856-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.956402 | 4,016 | [

Building strong brains for long-term success.
The Year 5 independent evaluation of Pre-K 4 SA indicates the program is producing strong and lasting results. For the fourth year in a row, student outcome data demonstrates that Pre-K 4 SA helps students overcome initial gaps in kindergarten readiness. Evaluations measure cognitive, mathematics, literacy, and oral language skills, as well as physical and social-emotional aspects of early childhood education.
It works. And sticks!
The report shows that Pre-K 4 SA teachers provide a level of instructional quality that leads to long-term academic benefits for students and that Pre-K 4 SA students make significant gains in executive function and self-regulation skills, two key brain processes that are strongly associated with success later in life. Through our Professional Learning Program, we are even nurturing this kind of success for classrooms up to 3rd grade, ensuring an optimal educational future for as many students as possible.
Pre-K 4 SA is pleased to share the yearly assessments conducted by Westat, Inc. in conjunction with National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) and Rutgers University in New Jersey.

On Friday, May 8th some of H.R. Owen’s clients enjoyed a rare opportunity to spend the day racing around the famed Millbrook testing ground. For those unfamiliar, Millbrook has played host to countless episodes of BBC’s Top Gear and owns a wide range of test tracks.
Traditionally prohibited to the public both physically and visually – the facility is hidden from view by belts of trees – Millbrook was made available for H.R. Owen and its guests for a Lamborghini Huracán test drive.
Upon arrival, guests enjoyed a warm-welcome from the Lamborghini hostesses before being shuttled to the hospitality area within the circuit itself. Catered breakfast and lunch were provided to all in attendance and guests enjoyed general refreshments throughout the day.
Accompanied by one of H.R. Owen’s professional instructors, drivers pushed the Huracán to its limits across three different tracks:
- The Alpine Route – A three-sectioned track containing progressively steeper gradients and tighter corners, most-famous for the “ski-jump” used in the 2006 film Casino Royale.
- The High-Speed Bowl – A two mile (3.2 km) circular-banked circuit used for higher speed testing
- The Mile Straight – A one mile (1.6 km) straightaway for experiencing pure acceleration and top-end speed
Each of the guest drivers enjoyed more than 1 hour behind the wheel; plenty of time to take the Huracán to the automotive edge!
Powered by a 5.2L, V10 engine, the Huracán puts out 602 horsepower on its way to a top speed of over 325 km/h. Its aerodynamically designed body allow the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 3.2 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in 9.9 seconds. Best of all, the car features a magnetically controlled suspension system giving the Huracán an uncompromisingly smooth ride despite its sports-car heritage.

It's not what you know but who you know. My fledgling career is thus far staying true to that mantra, and earlier this year it struck once again. Through good friends of good friends, I found myself given the opportunity to diversify my portfolio with a new client; OWSLA. The Los Angeles record label, founded by Sonny Moore, Tim Smith, Kathryn Frazier and Clayton Blaha, were making preparations for an upcoming residency on London-based radio station Rinse FM and needed audio branding materials for the show. One recommendation from a friend to a another friend later and I secured the commission for the production work.
Over the course of a few weeks back in the spring I worked with audio submissions from artists on the label to produce a catalogue of stingers, sweepers and beds to be used on the show, as well as the show's intro. It was a great project for me as I got the opportunity to work with some great artists in a field I hadn't touched before professionally. Although the residency's air date has been delayed, this looks like it could be the start of a longer relationship between OWSLA and myself. In anticipation of an air date for the full show you can listen to the intro below, and as always any feedback submitted via the contact form on this page or my Twitter feed is greatly appreciated.
I'll be back with another update in January, so a Merry Christmas to you and thanks for being here! | <urn:uuid:56bdd93c-3709-4aa4-b71e-b14506b54611> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.oliharrison.com/news/2015/10/5/good-times | 2019-06-25T19:36:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999946.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625192953-20190625214953-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.96664 | 293 | [

We compare 13 car insurance providers in Ireland to get you the very best achievable car insurance quotes. Also I did not have identification which most if not all shelters need, I was not capable to get my ID for many years simply because I did not have my birth certificate. Even though these shelters offer homeless men and women what they require, most would still want to be off on their personal and locate a spot that they could think about their own. So you do have some very good guidance on here nevertheless the best advce is just get a ride from a person if you have had far more than one particular drink and think me a taxi is a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a lawyer and paying massive court fine that im lucky adequate not to have to pay.

Basically do a close walk about the auto and look for such blatant defects in the paint finish. The premium amount of your car insurance is decided on the basis of Insured Declared Worth or IDV of the automobile. I can only assume the exact same for the UK.

Secondly, you want to make sure that you get a couple of inexpensive vehicle insurance quotes. I am nervous about obtaining my hardware removed a handful of months right after my child is born but I want to be able to run again with out the throbbing discomfort in my foot.

Online car insurance quotes avoid this from happening. B) You had been hit in the rear (the damage to the rear of your car proves that) so you can’t be at fault. I have been on Arava for the arthritis and the pain has improved tremndously but the swelling has not and I have limited flexibilty in my ankle. All metro cities (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune) are part of Zone A, which has a larger price of premium than the rest of the nation (Zone B). So if you are moving from a Zone B city to a Zone A city, your motor automobile insurance premium will improve and vice versa. Right after the orthopedic surgeon fixed the fracture with a plate and screws, I asked him if, at some future point in time, I would have to have the plate and screws removed.

My insurer is holding me at fault but i dont agree with the decision. We award a discount on the Personal Damage premium if your vehicle is fitted with an ARAI-approved anti-theft alarm and locking program. He broke off two screws 1/two taking them out and been in discomfort. IF he strictly adheres to a pancreatitis friendly low fat diet program and nevertheless is obtaining symptoms (bloating, nausea) right after consuming he almost certainly demands them. You can evaluate motor insurance coverage policy on the web in terms of characteristics, limitations, premium and other worth added solutions such as garage network, claim settlement ratio and speed, customer care service and the likes. Most recent information on offers and discounts to help you save cash on annual premium. Yet some insurers such as Aviva , Post Workplace have quotes that are valid for 60 days, Morethan for 45 days.
Got some actually excellent information about travelling with the dogs in the vehicle some thing that has worried me for a although now. It is also frequent to contain a renounce clause of the insurance company to compensate the damages against the insured person in some circumstances (typically in case of DUI or other infringement of the law by the driver). NOTE An At Fault Accident, is regarded 3 insurance points for the 1st one particular and 4 points for each 1 soon after that, Plus if you have an at fault accident you could lose your Accident Totally free Discount if your receiving one particular. You are, I am afraid, at fault for reversing into the vehicle but if the price is below your excess you will end up paying it yourself anyway but all the very same your insurance coverage company should be hunting after you here. Nor will the insurer of auto two be persauded that their drive was in anyway at fault.

In the event you live in a state that does not operate an enforcement agency, or your state CSEA just is not performing sufficient, you can also petition the court to enforce the Order for Youngster Support already in spot, and you can do this on your personal with no, an attorney. Medical professional tells me plate and screws need to come out since of prospective and likely complication of bone softening under the plate and therefore a lot more danger for fracture below the plate. | <urn:uuid:02a0b3be-aeab-405f-bc50-c5f0c7ad10ea> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.airjordan11.cc/how-significantly-will-a-auto-dealer-come-down.html | 2019-06-26T23:52:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000609.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626234958-20190627020958-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.964188 | 1,708 | [

MS Excel is great at assisting with planning and one of the key planning areas is how many resources you may need given a specific workload, and more specifically how many ‘full time equivalent’ staff you may need. In order to do full time equivalent calculations in Excel there are some functions that would be useful to master.
If you get the calculation correct, it should be easy to create an FTE matrix as per below that shows how many people we need based on the number of jobs and how long each job takes.
The issue with full time equivalents (FTE), is that we are assuming you need to hire a whole person (can’t have a quarter of a person for example). This means that even if you only have 1 job, you will need a full time employee. If a full time employee can handle 30 jobs a month, then when you have 31 jobs you need a whole second person.
Another issue may be that you need a group of people. So perhaps to handle 1 job you need a team of 4 people. At 31 jobs you would need to hire another team, which means 8 people in total. So we need to be able to calculate the number of people or teams needs but it will need to round the number in a set way depending on your business.
Rounding to Full Time Equavalents
MS Excel has a number of rounding functions. ROUND is fairly well known in that it takes a number with a decimal, and rounds it up if above 0.5 and down if below 0.5 .
However, for FTE we may decide that no matter what the decimal it must always round up. We would rather have excess capacity.
As shown below in B3, we have calculated how many hours a FTE can work. In B5 and B6 we have determined how much work we have in hours. In B5 (formula shown in C5) we have used a ROUNDUP to show how many people we need to complete this case load. The first part is just the calculation (hours per job x number of jobs / 1 FTE’s available hours). Normally in Excel this would give an answer below of 4.57 . The ROUNDUP function means that answer will be 5 even if the result was say 4.1.
If we have determined that we will always hire just below capacity (so everyone will need to work a bit harder), would could use the ROUNDDOWN function. In the example above, the answer would then be 4 instead of the 5.
Excel also has an MROUND function that allows you to round (using traditional rounding rules) in multiples. If you wanted to have rounding in multiples, but it must always go up, then there is a function called CEILING. If you want down, there is one called FLOOR.

Beesybee makes it to Black Mountain Artisans
This weekend I took my roving over Black Mountain Artisans. If you are in the area of Point Reyes this place should be a must of your places to visit.Black Mountain Artisans carry a wonderful mixture of one of a kind handmade wearable art that goes from elegant, to funky “chic”. They also cater wonderful fibers to knitters, spinners and felters and Marlie de Swart the owner (and a great fiber artist herself), has been focusing on getting a nice collection of artists mainly from the West Marin area. The quality of work is outstanding and Marlie will greet you always with a big smile. It is remarkable the wealth of artists that live in the area and Black Mountain Artisans offers a wonderful showcase for the local artisans.The store is located on the Main Street in Point Reyes Station and if you like one of a kind, wonderful textures, colors, in a friendly atmosphere, this is you place to stop. | <urn:uuid:08678ea6-e08e-419b-912f-fd700d755133> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://beesybeefiber.wordpress.com/2008/12/21/black-mountain-artisans-in-point-reyes/ | 2019-06-17T18:47:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998558.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617183209-20190617205209-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.937747 | 206 | [

Heaney recounts the story of a wartime visit to his local airfield. The visit becomes a parable to do with insecurity, temptation and resistance.
The airfield is long since out of commission, first disused then re-developed : first … back to grass, then after that to warehouses and brickfields. Its iconic centre-piece (wartime grey control-tower) has retained its control status: rebuilt and glazed into a hard-edged CEO-style villa. Post-war changes in attitude and style introduced a new lexis; here the ‘hard edge’ of uncompromising money-making opportunities.
Toome aerodrome is a part of history; the poet transports his memory and his senses back to the smell of daisies and hot tar on a newly-surfaced cart-road and to a specific moment: Easter Monday 1944.
There were compelling reasons for a lad of his age to be elsewhere, the annual bright booths of the fair at Toome made all the more attractive by his longing to be there (all the brighter for having been denied). As he lists the attractions he all but stamps his heels: wherever the world was, we were somewhere else. But she is in charge, she has decided and he does not anticipate the situation changing: had been and would be.
The youngster becomes conscious of the pretext for her being where she has dragged him.
The expectancy in the air was greater than any odds that sparrows might fall or B-26 Marauders not return. The airy structure above land usurped by a compulsory order was part of the unfolding drama: watched and waited.
An insecurity transmitted itself to the youngster (a fear crossed over then) linked with planes and pilots like the fly-by-night/ And sun-repellent wing that flies by day – an anxiety that he might be about to lose her – a tangible suspense as both heavens and humans watched and waited: sky above /me and her that day.
Legend (and post-war film drama) had it that American forces in Britain in the 1940’s provided an irresistible appeal for many young British women. Hence the question in the young boy’s mind: would she rise and go/ With the pilot calling from his Thunderbolt. The pilot assumes godlike status in a dual reference to the name of an American airplane and the ultimate weapon with which the Jupiter imposed his will.
Faced with temptation the girl’s growing resolution is just discernible to the young witness … only the slightest/ Back stiffening and standing of her ground. Her recognition of some greater responsibility than infatuation with a god-like stranger emerges as her hand reached down and tightened around mine.
The final lines seek to abstract some truth from the incident that may have a universal significance, both in space and time: Here and there and now and then.
Heaney’s thesis: If self is a specific place, then so is love, not something ‘fly-by-night’ or shallow but rather the outcome of bearings taken, markings, cardinal points. Navigational references deliberately target the aviator and the temptation he represents.
The options open to the girl at Toome resulted in obstinacies, dug-heels and distance – values and upbringing conspired to defeat infatuation and marked her definitive stance!
- went back to: became overgrown by;
- warehouse: building where things are stored in bulk;
- brickfields: where green fields gave way to housing and industry;
- control tower: tall building from which traffic was controlled;
- glaze: install windows
- hard-edged: both the sharp edges of the buildings and the mind-set of those in control;
- CEO: Chief Executive Officer, the top job in a corporation, company, organization, or agency;
- hangar: building where aircraft were parked and repaired;
- Nissen huts: prefabricated steel structures made from a half-cylindrical skin of corrugated steel used extensively as bomb-shelters during WWII; named after their inventor
- barbed: with sharp metal spikes to deter trespassers;
- tar: black substance onto which gravel was poured in road-making;
- booth: temporary stall at market or fair;
- catchpenny: cheap and attractive, designed to make quick money;
- awning: stretch of canvas acting as a shelter;
- gaud: showy bauble;
- sparrows might fall: St Matthew’s gospel suggests a spiritual link – that no sparrow could fall without God’s awareness of it; here a sense of ‘cows might fly’ as the youngster assesses his chances of making Toome Fair;
- usurp: take over by force
- stiffen: become rigid; a sign of stoical resistance:
- stand ones ground: stand firm;
- compulsory order: still used by Authorities to requisition land without regard for ownership;
- references to day and night allude to WWII aircraft designed for operations; B-26 Marauders Thunderbolt a wartime airplane named to suggest speed and aggression;
- fly-by-night: an idiom suggesting unreliable, short-lived relationships as opposed to the stronger bonds ultimately demonstrated by the girl to her young ward;
- (take) bearings: assess one’s position relative to things around;
- markings: uncrossable lines
- cardinal points: things that matter, principles;
- obstinacy: dogged determination;
- dig you heels in: show stubborn resolve;
- stance: a deliberate position;
- eight 4-line stanzas without a rhyme scheme; ample use of enjambed lines ensures variety of rhythm and flow in oral delivery; up to a dozen sentence units including colons;
- top chefs stand out thanks to their ability to combine advanced cooking skills with the talent of adding herbs and spices with different tastes so as to produce individual and memorable flavours.
- this poem shows the poet in a similar light as he sets up chains and weaves of sound and echo within the narrative:
- three initial quatrains that move via assonant [æ] and [ɑː] in chiasmus shape: back to grass and after that/ wartime ; then [ɪ] it/ designated/ brickfield/ designated/ industrial/ rebuilt; into/ villa; Nissen; [ei] grey/ glazed; [əʊ] control/ CEO/ Aerodrome/ local; [uː] Toome/ to; To/ afternoon/ Toome; [ʌ] runway/ huts;[ai] wartime/ wire/ miles/ brighter;[ɒ] bomb/ forgotten/ gone/ not/ hot/ On;
- alliterative effects are discernible, for example[g] and [k] from the same part of the mouth: back/ brickfields/ control; aspirates: history/ hangars/ huts;
- into v. 4 and beyond: alliterative effect of bi-labial plosive [b] bright booths/ brighter/ been/ bonnets/ beribbonned and continuant [w] Wherever the world was we were somewhere combined with vowel sounds [ɔː] All/ stalls/ Awnings/ gauds; fall/ Marauders/ compulsory order;
- the blend continues:[ɪ] and [ai] perimeter/ like the fly-by-night/ flies/ rise; pilot/ slightest/ mine alongside [w] watched/ waited/ watching/ waiting/ wing/ would; [əʊ] go/ Thunderbolt/ only; cluster of [st] sounds: slightest/ stiffening/ standing; rhymes: ground/ around; stance/ distance and alliterative pairs: location/ love/ Options/ obstinacies; dug/ distance;
- Heaney is a meticulous craftsman using combinations of vowel and consonant to form a poem that is something to be listened to.
- the music of the poem: fourteen assonant strands are woven into the text; Heaney places them grouped within specific areas to create internal rhymes , or reprises them at intervals or threads them through the text:
- alliterative effects allow pulses or beats, soothings or hissings or frictions of consonant sound to modify the assonant melodies; this is sonic engineering of the first order;
- for example, the final quartet is rich in sibilant variants [s] [z] [sh], alveolar nasal [n]and alveolar plosives [t] [d], plus labio-dental fricatives [f] [v];
- a full breakdown of consonant sounds and where in the mouth they are formed is to be found in the Afterthoughts section;
- Characteristically, Heaney balances violence with healing… The next poem considers the post-war erasure from the landscape of an aerodrome, while the following poem returns to destruction with a version of Horace echoing the attack on the World Trade Center: “Anything can happen, /the tallest towers / Be overturned.” An example of Heaney’s care in shaping a book, this strategy replaces surprise with deliberation.

Most regulatory authorities demand forklift re-training at varying intervals. Why is this? Because we are human, because operators forget the rules, because people become complacent, and more than any other reason because accidents continue to occur all too frequently. Just in the last 2 weeks, here are some examples of what has happened in the forklift world:
At an Evraz mill in the USA, a 53 year old employee was fatally struck by a forklift that was moving materials.
In Victoria, Australia, a truck driver underwent surgery after being struck by a reversing forklift as he was standing near the front of his vehicle.
In the USA, a forklift truck operator was airlifted to an area hospital after his legs were pinned under the equipment.
So next time you think it is a pain to have to re-train operators, try to focus on why it is necessary.

The Corona's Cooling Power
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is the first museum on the National Mall to be recognized as a LEED Gold building due to its construction using renewable energy sources and locally-sourced building materials. LEED or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifications are granted to buildings and other structures that meet global standards in areas such as water use, energy efficiency, and use of sustainable materials. To minimize energy use, the architects and engineers designed the building to allow lots of natural light inside of the museum. The Corona, the ornamental bronze-colored metal lattice that covers the museum like a crown covers a head, helps to keep the museum cool by allowing some sunlight inside, but by blocking the rest. As a result, the museum uses less electricity for lights and air conditioning.
But how does it work?

Looking for a musical to do with your high school or university students? Read the synopsis of "A Hair from the Head of a Prince" right now and you'll fall in love with these characters instantly!
A Hair from the Head of a Prince is the story of a misfit in the royal family—Prince Norman.
He embarrasses his stepmother, Queen Ludmilla, by trying to learn to play the accordion, an instrument she insists is suited only for polkas, tangos and “common” kinds of music.
Hoping to make way for her son, the younger Prince Douglas, to get married, Queen Ludmilla decides to hold a contest for Prince Norman’s hand in marriage, with princesses auditioning by singing for the role of Norman’s wife. The reason? When pressed to describe what he is looking for in a wife, Prince Norman has blurted out that he wants his wife and him to be able to “make beautiful music together.”
Norman really isn’t interested in participating in the contest, but Ludmilla doesn’t give him much choice. His Birkenstock-wearing fairy godmother steps in and tries to help with her advice to cleanse his aura, stop eating junk food, and simply “Pay attention!” It doesn’t help.
Soon the princesses start arriving. The shallow but beautiful Princess Bambie Lou of the Kingdom of Bloomingdale sings, “I’m Luscious, I’m Lovely.” Princess Raylene of the Kingdon of Dallas sings the sad story of her life: “My Fiance Fell in the Moat and Drowned.” Princess Julie, who teaches at the Royal Academy, brings her students in to help her sing, “Dough, Ray, Me.” And finally, the aging Princess Vivian auditions by singing, “I’m not a Spring Chicken.”
In the meantime, the wicked troll, Taratunlina, schemes to win the hand of Prince Norman’s womanizing half brother, Prince Douglas, known to many women in the castle as Prince Douglas the Sleaze. Part of her scheme involves killing Norman so that she can get “a hair form the head of a prince, killed in the home of a troll,” which is what is needed to break the spell that has turned her into a troll.
In the end, Norman’s best friend, the spunky lady-in-waiting, Annabella, manages to save Norman’s life after Tarantulina kidnaps him. Norman finally does pay attention and sees that he and Annabella do indeed make beautiful music together. He decides to marry her. He stands up to his stepmother and in the final scene sings the “I Gotta Be Me!” tango complete with interludes of the polka, the bunny hop, and the cotton-eyed Joe. | <urn:uuid:fb4d02cb-fab8-4ae6-a370-a09e74209dfe> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.enthusic.com/new-blog/2016/9/3/read-the-synopsis-a-hair-from-the-head-of-a-prince | 2019-06-19T01:09:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998879.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619003600-20190619025600-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.959458 | 626 | [

SiteMap Generator in Web Hosting
In case you host your sites in a web hosting account from our firm, you will have a really easy-to-work-with sitemap generator at your disposal. The software tool can be accessed from the Hepsia Control Panel and it'll permit you to select any one of your domains or subdomains, so the sitemap file will be created in the site directory where you need it. The straightforward interface will allow you to pick the total number of links that should be indexed and how deep the indexing should go. As a more advanced feature, you can also choose the file extensions which should be included in the sitemap - you could use the standard ones that include all most popular extensions a site uses like php, html, etcetera, but if your website features more diverse content, you'll be able to enter or delete an extension before you create the sitemap for a specific site.
SiteMap Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
As our semi-dedicated hosting plans have a sitemap generator built into the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with the accounts, you'll be able to generate a sitemap for each domain or subdomain hosted within a semi-dedicated account with only a few clicks. The tool is very simple to use and even in case you don't have prior experience with sites, you can create a sitemap and get all the advantages which such a file will give your Internet site. You'll discover several customizable options - the depth, or the number of links the software tool should follow through the pages, the maximum number of links that have to be followed and included, and the file types which have to be indexed. The last mentioned option is very handy if your Internet site includes custom content and not just standard web pages with text and pics, for example downloadable items and script files with specific extensions.
SiteMap Generator in VPS Web Hosting
In case you have a virtual private server from our company and it is set up with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to use the custom sitemap generator that is integrated in Hepsia. This tool is very convenient to use, so even if you are not very tech-savvy, you will be able to create a sitemap for any of your websites via a simple point-and-click interface. There are several options that you'll be able to customize - the depth of the links the software tool should follow, the number of links that have to be indexed and what type of files need to be included. The last option will allow you to concentrate on particular content on your site as you'll be able to remove generic website pages and include custom extensions, for example .pdf and .epub if you offer e-books. The sitemap generator can be used for any of your sites and it will automatically place a search engine friendly XML file in the selected site folder.
SiteMap Generator in Dedicated Servers Hosting
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is one of the options you could select for your top-notch dedicated server, features a very easy-to-use sitemap generator. You'll be able to make a sitemap for any Internet site hosted on the server with just a few clicks and select how many levels down the pages links should be crawled and how many links in total have to be included. To personalize the sitemap even further, you will also have the option to add custom file extensions to it which the generator will include, or you could delete any kind of file extension from the default ones that you'll find when you open the Sitemap section of your Control Panel. By doing this, you could easily include specific parts of your site and remove others, so that the sitemap could include any custom site content which you may offer on the Internet site rather than just the regular web pages. | <urn:uuid:1f5b544f-1450-4495-8e1e-ebf4477f861e> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://hostq.com/glossary/sitemap-generator/ | 2019-06-20T04:56:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999141.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620044948-20190620070948-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.93601 | 810 | [

What I love about Orland's comment, above, is that it redirects our attention from frantic problem-solving to a focus on cultivating the specific consciousness with which to meet these times. His words are a gentle challenge to go beyond crisis functioning to cultivate, instead, a field of welcome for a benevolent flourishing. Renewable energy, toxic cleanup, putting an end to mining and waste become what they are: the tangible structures and systems that demonstrate our gratitude for all that the Earth and the spirits have given us.
Hospitality and hospice come from the same Latin root: hospes, meaning both guest and host. Hospitality and hospice, guest and host, are companions on the continuum that expresses the dual primacy of nourishment and death in feeding the cycle of life. But what and whom are we creating hospitality for? Who are we becoming as givers?
A few weeks ago I woke up with a nightmare. In the dream, I have witnessed the murder of people I love, and I realize that the killers are now coming for me. At the last moment, a voice says, The whole point of this dream is to practice showing love unequivocally in the face of brutality, no matter what. It's the only way to stop the violence. I search for that sensation of benevolence and unshakeable love, but I don't feel it. All I feel is paralysis, failure and despair.
A month or so later, I asked Orland for help in understanding the dream and responding to it. He said, simply, "There are Beings of Light that are waiting to come through us." As I picture them hovering nearby, I hear the unspoken portion of his good counsel: Our task it to get out of the way. We don't have to do it all by ourselves. We can't.
As I toggle from the real-world calamities unfolding around us to the deeper recognition of the hospitality that Orland articulates, it is helpful to return to the literal ground we stand on, the intricate systems beneath our feet: microbes, bacteria, fungi, viruses all have a vested interest in keeping life going. If a plant dies, microbes die, and vice versa. Microbes are continuously working together, interacting and communicating with plants and animals, soil and water to protect and enhance life. For us humans, as for all animals, this includes the millions of mites and bacteria on the surface of our skin (yes, even after washing) to our organs, our bellies and the microbes in our food, air and water. It is as true for the insects with whom we share the biosphere, as it is for the oceans, soil and weather that comprise it. I would dare to add that this same axiom applies to the spirits of the dead, the unborn, and the Beings of Light that Orland refers to. In the words of Australian soil ecologist Dr. Christine Jones, There is no such thing as an individual organism.
Like the soil, we are practicing both hospice and hospitality, releasing that which must die while tending to what is essential in order to nourish the new time. In the process, we become a living invitation, as we prepare the feast, make the beds and fluff the pillows of our souls in order to welcome the weary travelers that we are. | <urn:uuid:62eb336c-0c6b-4474-980a-b9231154e0b3> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://earth-altar.org/blog/2019/5/18/welcome-home | 2019-06-16T19:15:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998291.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616182800-20190616204800-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.959713 | 681 | [

Benitec Provides Update on BB-401 Cancer Treatment Program
- Category: DNA RNA and Cells
- Published on Saturday, 22 December 2018 11:29
- Hits: 877
SYDNEY, Australia and HAYWARD, CA, USA I December 21, 2018 I Benitec Biopharma (ASX: BLT, NADSAQ: BNTC) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel genetic medicines via the proprietary DNA-directed RNA interference (ddRNAi) platform combining RNA interference with gene therapy, today announced that BB-401, a gene silencing agent comprised of plasmid DNA which produces a 39-nucleotide antisense RNA with specificity against EGFR, is currently undergoing evaluation in a Phase II clinical trial onto which patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck have been enrolled.
Patients enrolled in the Phase II clinical trial have been diagnosed with an advanced disease that is refractory to all available standard therapies and must have at least one malignant lesion that is amenable to direct injection with BB-401. An interim analysis was recently conducted to evaluate the objective response rate observed for the initial 12-patient cohort treated in Stage 1 of the Phase II study. Benitec's scientific and clinical teams continue to evaluate the data derived from the interim evaluation of the first cohort of patients treated in this Phase II study. However, based on the initial analysis, the objective response rate required to support continued patient enrollment into the Phase II study was not achieved.
Benitec's scientific and clinical teams will continue with patient follow-up for the patients treated in Stage 1 of the Phase II study and additional details will be disclosed following the completion of the comprehensive analyses of the clinical data derived from ongoing patient follow-up.
There are several critical points to note regarding the underlying nature of BB-401 as it relates to the other distinct investigational agents in the Benitec pipeline:
- At the molecular level, all of the investigational agents that are currently under development by Benitec are fundamentally different from BB-401. The proprietary investigational agents under development by Benitec employ ddRNAi which facilitates gene silencing via the production of short hairpin RNA-based molecules whereas BB-401 represents a modified antisense oligonucleotide.
- All of the investigational agents that are currently under development by Benitec function by a mechanism of action that is completely distinct from that of BB-401 which achieves gene-silencing via a mechanism described as post-transcriptional interference. The proprietary ddRNAi-based agents in the Benitec pipeline ultimately achieve gene-silencing via RNA interference driven by activation of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex.
- All of the investigational agents that are currently under development by Benitec employ tissue-specific delivery vectors (e.g. AAV9) whereas BB-401 has no delivery vector and was delivered intratumorally as a "naked" plasmid.

There’s still a hint of isolationism running through the general populace, but these anxieties aren’t salient enough to translate into outright governmental xenophobia.
By Jared Keller

In the West, anxiety over foreign terrorism is on the rise — and not because of recent acts of terror.
According to a survey of 2,607 adults conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution, concern over terrorism jumped from 33 percent in November 2014 to 51 percent in April 2016. (This before the massacre at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Florida, left 49 dead in the worst mass shooting in modern United States history.) The rise in anxiety found in the survey was most pronounced among supporters of Donald Trump (65 percent), suggesting a strong correlation between the presumptive GOP nominee’s rhetoric and fear over foreign terrorism. Taken in the context of the dual rejection of globalization and multiculturalism embodied by both the rise of Trump in the U.S. and the right-wing ideology underpinning Brexit, it’s safe to assume that the politics of fear are as effective as ever in Western democracies.
But will this fear translate into policy solutions? According to PRRI’s own data, it’s increasingly unlikely. While 77 percent of Trump supporters (and 64 percent of Republicans in general) favor measures like the nominee’s ban on Muslim immigrants, barely 40 percent of overall Americans do. Similarly, some 78 percent of Trump supporters (and 66 percent of Republicans) favor a ban on Syrian refugees; only 44 percent of the general public does. And while 82 percent of Trump supporters (and 66 percent of Republicans) like the idea of building a massive wall on the southern border of the U.S. to keep out Mexican migrants, only 41 percent of American voters do. A majority of Americans, despite being equally divided over whether the national culture has changed for the better, reject the policy manifestations of their latent fears.
Fear, it seems, isn’t as widespread as we might assume from the longevity of Trump’s insurgent campaign. Despite the fact that 57 percent of Americans agree that the values of Islam “are at odds with American values and way of life,” anxieties over terrorism “have not translated into public support for drastic policy measures,” as Dan Cox, PRRI’s research director, said in a statement accompanying the survey’s release. “Most Americans reject the idea that the U.S. should build a wall along the southern border or institute a ban on Muslim immigrants or Syrian refugees.”
A majority of Americans, despite being equally divided over whether the national culture has changed for the better, reject the policy manifestations of their latent fears.
That Trump’s proposals are unrepresentative of the general will isn’t surprising: According to PRRI’s data, most of the resentment regarding multiculturalism and demographic changes comes from white working-class Americans (62 percent) and white evangelical Protestants (70 percent), groups that have lost significant social and political power since the hegemony of post-war normalcy that was the 1950s, and groups that have largely flocked to Trump as a savior. There’s still a hint of isolationism running through the general populace — a majority of Americans (55 percent) believe “the American way of life needs to be protected against foreign influence,” according to PRRI — but these anxieties aren’t salient enough to translate into outright governmental xenophobia.
At the same time, this rejection of xenophobic policy jives with an overall global decline in religious restrictions despite the increasing prevalence of Islamic terrorism in the West. According to a Pew Research Center analysis, government restrictions on religion on both the national and local level declined between 2013 and 2014; high levels of restrictions were present in 34 percent of countries in 2014, down from 43 percent in 2012. This came despite a jump in the number of countries experiencing religion-related terrorism, from 73 incidents in 2013 to 82 in 2014, many of them involving groups such as Boko Haram or the Islamic State.
Similarly, “social hostilities” involving religion — hate crimes, mob violence, and the like — all declined during the same period. While it’s worth noting that this data precedes the dual ISIS attacks in Paris and ISIS-inspired massacres in San Bernardino and Orlando, it points to a general trend: Despite the rise in terrorism, many countries are declining to isolate themselves from the rest of our global society.
This doesn’t mean we’ve entered an age of openness when it comes to the average citizen. According to PRRI, Americans are evenly split on whether “reverse discrimination” against whites by ethnic minorities is a big problem; they’re also split over “how comfortable they feel around immigrants who do not speak English.”
These feelings are particularly pronounced, naturally, among white Americans, who remain convinced that discrimination against whites is a huge problem (57 percent, with 66 percent of working-class whites), and that America “is no longer a Christian nation” (59 percent among white evangelical Protestants, up from 48 percent in 2012), as if it ever truly was.
But the saddest element of this is that white Americans are still frustratingly prejudiced — and, even worse, they remain blind to their own prejudices, a trend especially pronounced in changing views on race in inequality. In a recent Pew survey of 3,769 American adults, only 53 percent of whites said the country has “work to do” in establishing equal rights for African Americans, far below the overwhelming majority of blacks (88 percent). Similarly, some 43 percent of blacks are skeptical these changes will ever actually happen, compared to just 11 percent of whites.
While widespread protests over the police shootings of unarmed African-American men in 2015 helped change the views of whites regarding the treatment of blacks by law enforcement, the white view of structural racism remains exhaustingly naive. That Americans are articulating an innate rejection of xenophobic policy at the ballot box is a good thing, but the refusal to do so in their personal lives remains an obstacle to eradicating fear and prejudice.
As Owen Matthews writes for Newsweek, last week’s historic Brexit vote is “just the latest and clearest manifestation of the populism and nativism that’s uniting the have-nots of Europe and America against the political establishment,” the United Kingdom being the “first victim of this political primal scream from the disenfranchised.”
But while Trump and his cohorts may raise concerns about right-wing extremism spreading to the U.S., the PRRI and Pew data suggests that the entire electorate isn’t totally defenseless against the paranoia and fear of authoritarian politicians. | <urn:uuid:2d63130f-024c-4244-915d-02a6aacb9611> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://psmag.com/news/is-american-xenophobia-finally-being-tempered | 2019-06-16T19:51:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998291.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616182800-20190616204800-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.932678 | 1,436 | [

South City staffer, Dan was first introduced to Big River in 2007 while attending Winter Distance Camp as a part of Kirkwood High School’s running cross country and track training. Throughout college, he quickly discovered a love for trail running and officially joined the Big River staff in July of 2016.
Dan loves that Big River not only provides a selection of high quality products to the St. Louis area, but also serves as a community hub for health and wellness. “Whether it’s participating in a training team, group run, or any of the other community events we participate in, I’m always impressed by the quality of involvement from our customers and community,” says Dan.
Dan’s love of trail running has led him to discover beautiful parts of the area. He recommends the Chubb Trail, especially the section along the Meramec River at West Tyson County Park. Experience a low traffic and well-maintained trail for a jaunt through prairies and alongside steep ridges with impressive views of the River valley.
Dan has even doubled his trail runs as scouting expeditions for mushroom hunting! “I discover likely places to find morels, chanterelles, or other edible mushrooms,” says Dan. Yet another reason to access the St. Louis area’s abundant parks and trails!
Dan’s Favorite Gear:
Road Shoe- New Balance 860v7– Plenty of stability and firm, responsive cushioning. It’s relatively lightweight for a stability shoe, and the wider toe box provides plenty of wiggle room.
Trail Shoe- Altra Lone Peak 3.0– The zero-drop design and a wide foot-shaped toe box makes for a comfortable fit. There’s also just enough of cushion and tread to handle technical trails. Dan’s pair of Lone Peak’s are usually waiting in the trunk of his car and also a bit muddy.
Apparel- 2XU Compression Socks. Not only an enormous aid in Dan’s performance, these socks are also so comfortable that Dan sometimes sleeps in them. They have also worked wonders on his shin splints and have helped improve recovery after heavier workouts.
Can’t Go on a Run Without – Garmin Forerunner 235. A necessity for keeping track of his pace. Dan reports his watch has allowed him to dial in to his workouts while also helping him keep track of training schedules.
Nutrition- Hammer Recoverite. Along with compression socks and foam rolling, Recoverite helps to keep Dan from getting bogged down in recovery. After a long run, the difference in how his muscles feel with and without Recoverite is significant enough that he always have a package close at hand. | <urn:uuid:3e609b6a-a959-4f9c-8211-e7ff79af43ec> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://dev.bigriverrunning.com/meet-the-staff-dan/ | 2019-06-17T23:13:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998581.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617223249-20190618005249-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.966234 | 567 | [

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that the U.S. and Afghanistan have agreed on the final language of a bilateral security agreement that would govern the presence of American troops in the country after the NATO combat mission ends next year.
Kerry said the language, which followed months of tense negotiations, will be reflected in the draft proposal being presented Thursday to 3,000 prominent Afghans from across the nation when they meet in Kabul to consider the agreement.
Approval by the council of elders, known as the Loya Jirga, is not guaranteed. The group can revise or reject any clause of the draft agreement, and a flat-out rejection would most likely prevent the Afghan government from signing it. The Afghan parliament also needs to approve it.
"We have agreed on the language that would be submitted to the Loya Jirga, but they have to pass it," Kerry said during a news conference with Australian officials and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
While U.S. officials have not yet disclosed the number of U.S. troops they want to keep in Afghanistan post-2014, Kerry said the role of the U.S. military would be "limited."
"It is entirely train, equip and assist. There is no combat role for United States forces, and the bilateral security agreement is a way to try to clarify for Afghans and for United States military forces exactly what the rules are with respect to that ongoing relationship," he said.
"It is very important for President Karzai to know that issues that he has raised with us for many years have been properly addressed. It is very important for us to know that issues we have raised with him over the years have been properly addressed," he said.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Kerry spoke with Karzai on Wednesday, the second call in two days. On Tuesday, Karzai invited Kerry to attend the Loya Jirga. Kerry has no plans to attend, but Psaki said Kerry offered the idea of providing reassurances about the U.S.-Afghan security relationship in addressing past issues, such as civilians casualties, which have been discussed many times. Psaki said that those assurances might be offered in the form of a letter or another format, but said nothing had been decided.
The deaths of Afghan civilians at the hands of U.S.-led NATO forces have been a sensitive issue in the U.S.-Afghanistan relationship, although more Afghan civilians die as a result of insurgent attacks.
Kerry emphasized that the assurances discussed were never going to be in the form of an apology.
"Let me be clear. President Karzai didn't ask for an apology," Kerry said. "There was no discussion of an apology."
Kerry added: "He didn't ask for it, we're not discussing it."
Deep divisions in Afghanistan over legal immunity for American soldiers and contractors as well as night raids have threatened to derail diplomatic efforts to keep thousands of American soldiers in the country beyond next year's withdrawal deadline. The issue has taken on added urgency amid a spike in violence that has raised fears that Afghan forces aren't ready to take over the battle against the Taliban and al-Qaida-linked militants without more training. | <urn:uuid:7a678c52-9955-44ae-ad45-1eda95aa18bc> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/11/20/kerry-us-and-karzai-agree-on-language-for-pact.html | 2019-06-19T03:58:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998882.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619023613-20190619045613-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.978563 | 657 | [

Fresh homemade sandwich buns will make any sandwich that much better.
Happy Wednesday!! It’s downhill from here, to the weekend. When I get this point of the week I start thinking of the weekend. Yeah, I can’t wait. How about you?
Earlier today I was thinking of what I would say for this post. If you look around my blog you will see there are several or maybe many posts with different bread recipes. I am not sure if I have said all there is to say about homemade bread, making homemade bread, and eating homemade bread.
But I do know that I love making homemade bread. I have been making yeast bread since I was a teenager. I am sure that it stems from my mom, who made tons of bread in her lifetime.
There is nothing as good as to have fresh homemade bread or buns with a meal. I was making shredded beef for dinner this past Sunday and decided that I would make some homemade sandwich buns to go along with the beef.
These sandwich buns are pretty basic when it comes to buns. I did change out the sugar for honey and added olive oil for the shortening. They make any sandwich so much better, but don’t feel that you have to use them for a sandwich; they are as equally yummy with a slather of butter on them.
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoon yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
In a large bowl combine the yeast, honey, water, and oil let it and let set for 10 to 15 minutes.
Add 2 cups of flour and the salt, stir in with a wooden spoon. Once the flour and salt are combined with the yeast mixture gradually added the rest of the flour.
As you add the rest of the flour knead the dough with your hands. Once you have a dough that is slightly sticky to the touch you know there is enough flour in the dough. Continue to knead the dough (if you have a large enough bowl knead the dough in the bowl) until the dough is smooth. Oil the bowl, form the dough into a ball and turn once to oil both sides.
Let the dough rise for 1 to 1/2 hours or until about double in size. Once is done raising divide into 12 portions and form into balls. Place on a prepared baking sheet, that has been greased and flattened the ball so you have a disc.
Let the buns rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 F. Bake the buns for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown over the top.
Serve with your favorite sandwich filling or serve with butter. | <urn:uuid:8a9f91c5-4336-4efa-bf2c-629b8aeb876d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.wordsofdeliciousness.com/sandwich-buns/ | 2019-06-19T04:11:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998882.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619023613-20190619045613-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.972028 | 578 | [

Planning on booking a family ski trip? Unsure what you should pack or which ski school to book? It can be quite a daunting task preparing yourself to go skiing with the family, but with a fair few ski seasons under my belt (I might sound like a pro, I’m really more ‘all the gear no idea’) I’ve put together my top tips for skiing with the family and making it run as smoothly as possible.
What to pack
I’ve put together a separate blog post on what I pack for myself, you can find that here, but here’s a quick run down of what I pack for each child (mine are aged 11 and 4).
- Thermal baselayers
- Mid layers (fleece zip up, hoody) You can vary the layers depending on the weather each day.
- Ski jacket (if your children are younger it might be better to consider an all in one ski suit rather than separates to keep them warm)
- Ski gloves or mittens
- Warm wooly hat
- Snood (I find these work better than scarfs if you get a particularly cold day)
- Ski helmet & goggles (don’t worry if you don’t have a helmet, you can hire these in resort along with your ski equipment)
- Ski socks
- Snow boots (make sure these are warm and waterproof)
- Sun Cream
Other than that just the usual items you would pack for a holiday, pj’s, tops, bottoms etc. Less is more, ski trips tend to be pretty casual including what you wear in the evening for dinner. It’s always worth packing an extra pair of gloves and hat if you are planning venturing out after your day of skiing encase any items are damp.
Make it fun
Be prepared that your child may not take to skiing straight away. We’ve loved skiing since the moment our feet stepped on the slopes, as did our eldest. This was not the case with our youngest, even though we’d been taking him along with us on ski trips from 9 months old. He found the whole process extremely tiring, from wearing all the layers everyday, to getting back up when he fell. In this case we decided to put no pressure on him to love skiing, we knew this would come with time. Instead we concentrated on making the trip fun for him, adding in lots of sledging, horse and cart rides, trips to the swimming pool and anything else the resort had to offer. A great tip is to bring some small toys up to the slopes with you, something that will fit into pockets so they can play with in the snow if you are having a coffee. Hot wheels cars tend to work for us.
Book a smaller resort
If your children are young, or this is their first time skiing I would research a smaller ski resort to start off with. Smaller resorts tend to be less busy, so a little less daunting when trying to get on and off lifts and manoeuvring your way down the nursery slopes.
Ski School or Private Lessons?
This is a personal preference depending on the confidence level of your child. For instance our eldest is quite social and good at making new friends, so we opted for an ESF ski school for him (Usually 3 hours every morning), our youngest is a lot quieter and we knew he wouldn’t enjoy this, so for him we chose an English speaking private instructor. If your child is younger then most family resorts have good childcare facilities on the slopes. We tend to go to France and have previously used both the ESF creche and the younger ski school club Piou Piou.
Rent your equipment
Unless you are planning to ski a lot, renting your skis, boots and poles is probably the best way forward. Most ski resorts have great equipment and are happy to help find the right choice for you. The only equipment we invest in for our children apart from their clothes is a good quality ski helmet and pair of goggles. It’s always worth asking if you can rent a locker within the rental shop so you can leave your equipment there each day instead of lugging it around. Trust me, trying to carry a child who’s legs hurt and a couple of pairs of skis all the way back to the chalet is not the one!
Chocolate bars and snacks upon the mountain are expensive!!! Unless you’re in the minority that is happy to pay €3 for a mars bar to keep the kids happy while you indulge in a coffee with a view, its a good idea to pop a couple of snacks in a backpack or your pockets.
I hope you manage to get some good tips from this post, we enjoy skiing as a family every year, I never thought I’d say it but it’s easily become my favourite holiday. If you have any extra tips for skiing with kids I’d love to hear them. | <urn:uuid:046c16ca-5c77-4562-a5cc-d4570539192d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://ahampshirelife.com/tag/skiing-with-children/ | 2019-06-20T10:16:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999200.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620085246-20190620111246-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.957122 | 1,032 | [

Posted January 10th, 2019.
By Braden Campbell
Law360 (January 10, 2019, 6:04 PM EST) — A proposed class action accusing Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart PC of bias against women could be headed to arbitration after a California federal judge said Wednesday the firm’s arbitration agreement covers attorney Dawn Knepper even though she didn’t sign it.
Northern District of California Judge William Orrick granted the firm’s motion to send Knepper’s suit to the Central District of California, where the agreement directs that employment disputes be arbitrated, setting the stage for Ogletree to ask that court to compel Knepper into arbitration.
Knepper had argued that the agreement, which Ogletree told attorneys would apply unless they opted out, didn’t apply to her because she never signed it. But Ogletree told attorneys the deal applies even without a signature, and Knepper explicitly acknowledged the email in which it did so, Judge Orrick noted.
“Ogletree’s records show that Knepper opened email notice 1 and responded to email notice 3,” Judge Orrick said. “That Knepper — an experienced employment law attorney — may not have read or fully comprehended the contents of those emails and their attachments does not preclude a determination that she is bound by the arbitration agreement.”
Knepper’s suit is one of a handful of pending cases alleging that BigLaw firms discriminate against their female attorneys by paying them less than men and limiting their advancement. Knepper, who is now a shareholder at Buchalter PC, claims the firm has a disproportionately male leadership team that favors men over women, including by denying women training and business development opportunities.
Ogletree urged Judge Orrick to send the suit to the Central District per a clause in the agreement designating Orange County, where Knepper worked, as the venue for arbitration. Only the Central District, which serves Orange County, has the power to compel arbitration there, the firm said.
Whether the case belongs in California’s Northern District or its Central District hinges on whether the agreement covers Knepper, Judge Orrick said. And it does, he continued.
That Knepper did not sign or otherwise “manifest express consent to it” does not mean the agreement doesn’t apply to her, Judge Orrick said. He noted that “numerous courts” have enforced contracts like Ogletree’s that “disclose that an employee’s failure to opt out” implies agreement, citing a few examples.
Knepper argued that the cases Judge Orrick cited don’t apply because those employers did more to notify their workers of their arbitration agreements than Ogletree did. Judge Orrick drew a different line between the cases, however.
“While Knepper’s experience as an employment law attorney may not be dispositive, it is significant and weighs in favor of concluding that she is facially covered by the arbitration agreement,” the judge said. “Knepper’s attempt to analogize Ogletree’s actions to situations where defendants attempt to impose arbitration on unsophisticated workers or on consumers is not well-taken.”
Knepper also argued that the agreement is invalid because it is “unconscionable,” claiming among other things that Ogletree tried to trick workers into silence by attaching the agreement to “a deceptively titled” email sent at 4:45 a.m. before a holiday weekend. But Judge Orrick said it’s not his place to evaluate this argument, pointing to language in the agreement empowering an arbitrator to resolve disputes “relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation” of the agreement.
Knepper’s attorney, David Sanford of Sanford Heisler Sharp LLP, said he remains “convinced that Ogletree botched its own arbitration agreement and engaged in systemic gender discrimination against its female partners.” He added “there are many current and former Ogletree partners (male and female) who will testify on our behalf.”
Ogletree said Thursday it’s “pleased” with the ruling, noting “the plaintiffs and vast majority of witnesses are located in the Central District of California.” Providing equal employment opportunities is a “core principle” for the firm, it added.
Knepper is represented by Leigh Anne St. Charles, David Sanford, Jill Sanford, Edward Chapin, Danielle Fuschetti and Jeremy Heisler of Sanford Heisler Sharp LLP.
Ogletree is represented by Nancy L. Abell, Deborah S. Weiser, Valerie M. Marek and Paul W. Cane Jr. of Paul Hastings LLP.
The case is Knepper v. Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart PC, case number 3:18-cv-00303, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

What is a moment?
A moment is quite simply a single memory from a specific point in time.
A moment can contain a note (a journal entry), people, places, tags and a single photo or video.
Photos are treated as individual moments as they are in essence a single moment in time.
What is a moment group?
A moment group is a group of moments which have elements in common and occur at the same time or a close period of time. Moment groups are displayed together to conserve space, helping review and edit moments easier and quicker.
Photos are most commonly seen as groups. Rather than displaying each photo as a single moment with an individual timestamp, Momento will group photos together if the reside at the same place, in a close period of time.
Moment groups can also be edited together to make it quick and easy to change places, people and tags.
Photos are often displayed as moment groups on the day timeline.
Tap on the time of a moment group to see the moments broken down individually.
If you edit an individual moment it may 'break-out' of the moment group depending on the changes you make.
Adding or editing a moment group
When adding a moment with several photos, Momento will automatically divide them into moment groups based on their location and the time they were taken.
If you added several photos which has created more than one group then you can edit a specific group by tapping the 'edit' icon (1) alongside it. This will allow you to make changes which will only affect that specific group.
For full details on editing moment groups, see the 'Photos' sections of 'How do I add a new moment?'

Serving the greater area of Roxbury and Boston, Roxbury community college (RCC) is committed to be the college of choice for students seeking open enrollment, those seeking continuing education opportunities and those in pursuit of two-year programs. It is a co-educational institution of higher learning approved to offer associate degrees and certificate programs.
Nursing at Roxbury Community College
Nursing at Roxbury has two accredited and approved programs. The department is approved to offer the nursing programs by the commonwealth of Massachusetts and programs and programs are accredited by the NLNAC. A closer look at the nursing program is given below:
The nursing (AS) degree at Roxbury community college prepares student s to become registered nurses by equipping them with a clinical and nursing theory component. This makes the students to be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam. Generally, the program takes a period of four semesters to complete.
Until the second semester, students are not able to take nursing courses. It is during the first semester that students take general education and math courses. They call this a prep semester and it takes up-to ten of the required credits for graduation. On the subsequent four semesters, students take nursing classes coupled with clinical experience classes. A minimum of 70 credit hours must be fulfilled for as a requirement for graduation, three of which are offered online.
Students can also apply for joint admission program at Framingham State University. This offers the students a direct entry into the RN to BSN program instantly after completion of the associate degree. It is one of the advantages of taking the associate degree program at Roxbury, since a joint program has a smoother transition into a BSN than articulation credit transfer.
Transfer options are also available for Roxbury students into to the following college and universities:
- Northeastern University
- University of Massachusetts-Boston (For both traditional and online BSN program)
- University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
- Framingham State University
- Simmons College (for a Master of Science in nursing) and
- Emmanuel College
Practical Nursing Certificate
For future practical nurses at Roxbury community, the practical nursing certificate program is an ideal idea. The program prepares entry level nursing students to offer basic patient and bedside care. Students take three semesters with a first semester being referred to as a prep semester covering at least 6 credit hours for non- nursing courses. In total, 48 credit hours must be completed before graduation and eligibility to sit for the NCLEX-PN exam. The outcome is the award of the practical nursing certificate that allows for licensure for practice in Massachusetts.
Due to high application numbers of application received, taking and passing of pre-requisite course does not guarantee one a place at Roxbury community college. Admission is based on space availability only. It is also important to note that the college does not offer articulation agreements for this particular nursing program with other colleges. Students having this plan in mind must reconsider admission to other colleges having that plan.

Dance and disability: Embracing difference, tensions and complexities
Cheesman, S. (2014). Dance and disability: Embracing difference, tensions and complexities. Dance Research Aotearoa, 2(1), 20–30. http://doi.org/10.15663%2Fdra.v2i1.26

In this paper I am particularly interested in unpacking the notion that dancers with a visible disability are both marginalised and hyper-visible. I refer to selected dance examples available on YouTube and consider these in relation to Whatley’s (2007) presumption of difference indicators in support of my aim to expand research into the area of dance and disability. Viewing these dance examples provided a ‘bouncing off’ point from which to unpack how these performances are perceived and made meaningful by their audiences. Drawing from discussion tasks set at several different conferences in response to viewing these dance examples, I share initial findings and consider issues that arose in embracing difference, tensions and complexities.

Meanwhile in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations’ top humanitarian official has accused Israel of keeping Palestinians in an “open-air prison.” John Holmes appeared on the news network Al Jazeera English Tuesday after touring Gaza.
Emergency Relief Coordinator John Holmes: “They’re living in a kind of open-air prison. They’re still suffering this kind of collective punishment they’ve been suffering for three years now. And it’s counterproductive. It’s counterproductive including for Israel, because it’s only breeding despair. It’s not helping their objectives, whatever they might be in Gaza. So it really needs changing, and it really needs changing very rapidly. I think that’s the main point, and we really will hope that they will reconsider the kind of attitude they’ve been adopting so far.” | <urn:uuid:22649fe0-71fa-4940-98ae-b0f9e2092c31> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.democracynow.org/2010/3/3/headlines/un_humanitarian_chief_gaza_an_open_air_prison | 2019-06-16T23:46:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998325.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616222856-20190617004856-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.925739 | 180 | [

Over 5 years in the making, this rosewater-based eye cream has it all! Ingredients to decrease dark circles and puffiness, strengthen the connective tissue, reduce inflammation and muscle cell contraction, and smooth wrinkles. Thank you, Dr. Jen!
Sample Size, 0.5 oz.

The New 20 Eye Cream was refreshing to use. I only used one container so I don’t really know the long term effects of it, but it was nice to know that I was putting a healthy product on my skin to keep it protected,
– October 10, 2013
Good stuff! It moisturizes without being too greasy – I can still get my concealer on without it sliding all over the place. I’m still on my first jar, and not even halfway through yet, so I’m not sure if I’m seeing any improvements, but it’s a lovely cream – and very reasonably priced compared to other anti-aging eye creams out there.
– November 16, 2016
I am in love with this eye cream. After the first jar I noticed a distinct reduction in the fine lines around my eyes and a general brightening of my skin. I’m 45 so it’s nice to find something that helps keep the sags and bags at bay for a while longer.
(verified owner) – May 2, 2017
I have been using this eye cream for a couple of years now and I can truly say that I haven’t gained a single wrinkle in that time. For someone in their forties that is pretty impressive! It is light but penetrates the skin and keeps away the dry, crepey look that happens if I stop using it. If I run out of this eye cream I panic!
– July 15, 2017
I have used one jar and already notice a softening of the lines by my eyes and (I’ve used it on the laugh lines by my mouth with similar results). Definitely ordering more.
– August 26, 2017
The only eye cream I have ever used that I noticed changes with cost about $300.
We all know that finding an eye cream that works is kind of the holy grail of products.
I was surprised at how light and spreadable this cream is – no tugging, just glides on and a little goes a LONG way.
I immediately felt like my skin was getting a little firmer. Not sure if it was my imagination or not, but I can see that my eye area is noticeably smoother and more plump.
An Italian friend of mine once told me that you can tell how good an Italian restaurant is just by trying their tiramisu. Well, I feel like you can tell how good a skin care company is by their eye cream. This stuff is the best.
(verified owner) – October 4, 2017
I love this eye cream. I am in my 50’s and have used it for at least two years. I do not notice any new wrinkles around my eyes. However, I have had big smile lines around them for so long it is hard for me to tell.
I have had issues with products around my eyes that would bother me in the day time. I have never, ever had any eye irritation from this product and that is why i switched to it as my exclusive eye cream.

Finally got around to developing some film at home! Had a roll of 35mm film from this summer that I jury rigged to run in my Fuji GW690II (a 6×9 medium format rangefinder, colloquially called the “Texas Leica” due to it’s size), to get the exposed sprocket holes (hence the title). Since the camera normally expects a larger size film, I had to run a strip of paper in there so that the camera would cock the shutter. Unfortunately, the paper strip tore, so I only ended up with a couple of usable frames before the camera stopped cocking the shutter. Also, another downside… Since the film takes up a smaller portion of the frame, it’s really hard to compose (sorry about that eye patch in the photo below, Ashley).
Stand development with Rodinal was pretty easy. I used a dilution ratio of about 1:100, agitated at the beginning, and let it sit for an hour, while agitating halfway through. Rinsed, fixed, rinsed again, and hung to dry. While temperature doesn’t matter, try not to let it shift too much. I used water that was a little too warm to start (about 100 degrees f), and by the end, it dropped about 20 degrees. Which I think gave me some gradation in development (you can see some the bottom of the film is lighter). In any case, I’d say it was an overall success for my first time developing my own film in 20 years (and even then, had only done a couple rolls in high school)!
Ilford Delta 400. Scanned with Epson 4490.
Taken Wednesday, Jan 14th, 2015. I normally tutor on Wednesdays, but since my lil buddy Zerick couldn’t make it, I decided to take a walk down towards Millenium Park for a photo of some ice skaters… The photo didn’t really pan out well… so instead I am posting this photo I took while panning on this fella walking.
Taken on Friday, September 12th, 2014. Left work late on a drizzly Friday, when I took this photo on the corner right by my office. I was killing some time waiting for my cousin to come into the city on the Metra, so I had some plans on taking some more train photos in the loop from a parking garage I had spotted earlier that week. While I was checking my settings, I decided to take a few test shots and was checking my manual focus skills when this lady spotted me with my camera. I don’t normally take street photos like this, because it feels a little creepy to take pictures of people I don’t know. But I kinda liked how it turned out, so that’s why I’m posting it here.
If I could change a couple things, I’d have moved a bit to my left, so she would be directly in the middle of the crosswalk lines, where the eyes are naturally drawn by the leading lines, and have the taxi just a little further to the right to balance the picture. The wet streets adds some good contrast, but I would have loved to make it rain a bit more (like I do in the clubs).
Here are a few other photos I took.
The Real Connection
Taken Tuesday, August 19th, 2014. Once again, I got out of work later than expected, but luckily I got to enjoy a few songs while waiting for the Red Line at the Lake Street stop. Plus, I got a chance to make good on my promise to print out and give these guys the photo I had taken of them for Week 16 (as you can see in the lower right hand corner of the picture).
I actually missed a couple of trains just to chat with these guys a little bit. Their missing buddy was there this time, but that just means I’ve got to give them another picture the next time I see them! (And hopefully I won’t forget their names next time.) I went with a square crop on this photo because I do what I want. (Also, keeps the photo tight and cuts out some of the distracting elements. Makes it seem more personal.)
Oh, the irony…
So when you live in a big city, and take public transportation everyday, whether it’s the train or the bus, you’ll find yourself swimming in a sea of people. (Fun fact: I can’t swim.) And when you have a pretty regular schedule, heading to your 9-5 job everyday during rush hour, you might even find yourself recognizing some of the same people as you cross paths with them as they are make their exact same journey everyday. To me, as a closet introvert, I tend to just pop in my earbuds and leave other people alone. I find myself to be a bit more of a reactive conversationalist; I’m great at keeping a conversation going once we make a connection, but I’m always terrible at sparking up the conversation. And probably because of this, I picture this fence of societal norms which tells me that talking to random strangers is weird. But what previously kept me walking past these guys I would see every so often on my routine commute, was broken by having a photo of them to give. That photo was my ladder over the fence. So, I enjoy the irony of these guys going by “The Real Connection”, since on that day, I shared my photo with them and made a “real connection.” (See what I mean?)
Anyway, that was a little rambling there, but I’m curious… What do you think of random conversations with strangers? And what’s a topic that is a great icebreaker if you’re bored on the train (i.e. you left your earbuds at home)?
Photo taken Monday, July 21st. (wow, that was a long time ago.) Went out with my friends Rohit and Katie to a concert at one of my favorite concert venues in Chicago, Schubas Tavern. They host a lot of up-and-coming and lesser known bands in an intimate and friendly space, which appeals to my hipster sensibilities. And since the show was sold out, I knew we were gonna be in for quite a show.
Run River North, they are basically my favorite Korean-American Indie Folk Rock band out right now :P. I originally found out about them from an interview on NPR, and they even have a music video featuring Diedrich Bader (whom you may know from the Drew Carey show). So, how can you not like them?!

Pomona, N.Y.-The University of Bridgeport baseball team had hits hitting shoes on as the Purple Knights banged out 25 hits in a road doubleheader sweep of host St. Thomas Aquinas on Sunday afternoon, as Bridgeport won game one, 7-3, and completed the sweep over the Spartans with a 10-2 victory in game two. With the two wins, UB is now 5-14 overall and 2-1 in the East Coast Conference. STAC slips to 9-10 overall and 1-2 in the ECC.
In the opener, Bridgeport had 13 hits led by senior Eamon Catherina (Ridgefield, N.J.) and sophomore Conall Roberts (Mt. Laurel, N.J.), who each had three hits. Catherina plus Joey Grillo (Fr., Sound Beach, N.Y.) and Cory Listing (Fr., West Sand Lake, N.Y.) each had two runs batted in the game one victory.
On the mound, junior Jason Burger (Orlando, Fla.) earned the win in the opener working seven innings in which he allowed three runs on five hits with five strikeouts. Classmate Jonathan Brooks (Stratford, Conn.) finished game one with two scoreless innings in relief.
The Bridgeport bats stayed hot in the nightcap smacking 12 hits in the seven-inning contest, as UB out the game away early scoring five runs in the first two innings.
Sophomore Patrick Palmer (Ansonia, Conn.) led the UB hit parade in game two going 3-for-3 with three runs batted in. Freshmen Ryan Donnelly (Fairfield, Conn.) and Matt Rodriguez (New Milford, Conn.) along with Conall Roberts, each had hits in the nightcap, and Donnelly, Joey Grillo plus junior Alex Rauso (Trumbull, Conn.), each had two RBIs.
Junior William Jackson (New Haven, Conn.) earned the win in game two working six strong innings to up his season record to 2-1. Jackson allowed only one run on four hits with six K's during his six innings of work.
The same two teams will close out their four-game East Coast Conference series on Monday afternoon in Bridgeport with a single game. First pitch in Seaside Park is set for 3:00 p.m. | <urn:uuid:d9f9b2f2-56bf-4c56-af84-31537727c5c9> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://ubknights.com/sports/bsb/2018-19/releases/20190324rtj2u9 | 2019-06-20T13:04:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999218.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620125520-20190620151520-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.951725 | 490 | [

After talks of its much-awaited IPO, Uber, the San-Francisco based ride-hailing giant, has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO). This is possibly one of the most-watched for IPOs of any of the valley-based company.
With a view to prep for the IPO, in August, Uber had hired Nelson J Chai as the CFO of the company. Uber has not had a finance head since 2015, when then CFO Brent Callinicos left the company.
What is interesting is that Uber's US rival - Lyft too filed for an IPO on Thursday. This move is in line with the battling companies launching services and matching each of their services. Valued at $76 billion, reports suggest that this filing makes it one of the biggest technology listings ever. In the case of an IPO, Uber's valuation will touch a whooping $120 billion.
For over two years now, Uber has been hoping to enter an IPO, and has been working in line for the same. Unfortunately, the company had a 'hellish' year in 2017. When Dara Khosrowshahi took over the reins of the San Francisco-based company on August 28 last year, everyone wondered whether the transportation network company would see a turnaround.
Uber has been one of the best-known startups in the world, and reportedly commands 77 percent of the market share in the US. It has a strong presence in over 80 countries, and according to Harvard Business Review (HBR), is still sitting on a massive cash pile from its last financing round. HBR calls it one of the most-valued unicorns in the history of business.
However, Uber's IPO brings a positive push that it may open up public debuts of highly valued companies like Slack and Airbnb. Over the year, Uber has been working towards an IPO. Investors are also looking for an exit from the ride-hailing unicorn. The platform has already consolidated its Southeast Asian business to the Indonesian Grab. Uber has raised a whopping $18 billion from investors since 2010.
But, Uber still has a lot of legal battles to fight, especially in line with its self-driving vehicle business. This move will test the public market's risk appetite for the cab aggregator business, which while popular, is still loss-making. Uber has reportedly lost $1.07 billion, and this quarter made a revenue of $2.95 billion.
For now, all eyes are on Dara, and the upcoming IPO. | <urn:uuid:f14f38a1-ad4f-40ec-b623-b8c3486d2eb5> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://yourstory.com/2018/12/uber-confidentially-files-ipo-time-lyft/ | 2019-06-20T13:19:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999218.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620125520-20190620151520-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.972544 | 516 | [

Nzuji De Magalhaes received her Masters of Fine Arts in Studio Art with emphasis on Mixed Media from the University of Southern California. She showed her work in many art galleries nationally including, Steve Turner Art gallery, MOAD in San Francisco, the Studio Museum in Harlem, BoxHeart in Pennsylvania, and WoMan Made gallery in Illinois. Also in 2012 her work was featured at the first Made in LA biennial at the Hammer Museum, and was the winning recipient for the LA Metro Station public art competition.
Her artwork vividly critiques social-cultural stereotypes, post colonial discourse, myth, ethnicity, and politics. She meticulously combines art forms learned in Angola and America to create work that conveys stories of her birthplace and her stay in America. Presently, Nzuji’s work has grown into a three-dimensional arena, where she includes sound as another medium for great expression and artistic endeavors. | <urn:uuid:9bd75327-fc4c-4bab-8ccf-267e2bda74e6> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://frowithsoul.com/?page_id=13 | 2019-06-25T01:42:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999783.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625011649-20190625033649-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.957509 | 184 | [

It is that time of year again… The shortlist for the 2018 NICE shared learning awards has been finalised and we’re ready to share the exciting news.
All of the shortlisted entries will present posters at the NICE conference in June. Where our three finalists will also take to the stage to share their work:
- The Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network – for their efforts to embed faecal calprotectin diagnostic tests into their work to support people with inflammatory diseases of the bowel.
- Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust – who have developed a new ‘Food First’ approach to improve the management of malnourished care home residents.
- East Berkshire Clinical Commissioning Group – for working to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections through better hydration in care homes.
The calibre of entries to the NICE shared learning awards continues to impress me.
This year, we received 76 shared learning examples, of which 20 were shortlisted.
It is always a pleasure to read them, but a difficulty to judge them – they are all good examples in my mind.

National Pharmaceutical Council
In the area of health care, this video program interviews Dr. Robert Dubois of the National Pharmaceutical Council to explain the basics of observational studies and randomized controlled trials. He discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, providing useful examples in the video.
Theheart.org - Looking at Observational Studies
This video provides an overview of how observational studies like ASCERT are used to study heart-related issues as part of patient health care. It examines the combined datasets employed from the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) CathPCI registry, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) CABG database, and Medicare claims, and how these are used to inform the decision-making process.
Genetics and Public Policy Center’s Public Consultation on Genetics, Environment and Health
This program examines a proposed study that seeks to research gene-environmental interactions, by focusing on how diseases occur based upon factors from assorted environmental settings, using a large number of individuals. It explores how the research would follow the participants of the study over time to better understand the subtle aspects of a disease, as related to environmental influences.
Global Health - Case control studies
This video offers an excellent ancillary to chapter 12 of the book, by examining the uses and advantages of case-control and cohort studies. | <urn:uuid:8269f28a-384d-4391-9ae6-8bae4126714c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://study.sagepub.com/remler2e/student-resources/chapter-12/video-links | 2019-06-26T07:22:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000175.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626053719-20190626075719-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.89546 | 274 | [

Based in Nagano, Japan, Hikari Shimoda first studied illustration at the prestigious Kyoto Saga University of Art and Aoyama Juku School before beginning her career as a contemporary artist in 2008. Soon afterward, Shimoda was selected for her first solo exhibition at Motto Gallery in Tokyo, and since then has held exhibitions annually in galleries worldwide, spanning Japan, the United States, Canada, and Milano, Italy.
Shimoda’s artwork paints a world where cuteness and horror coexist, and fantasy meets reality. She credits the Japanese pop culture she grew up with as the main source of inspiration of her Lowbrow ‘Irasuto’ style, which means artwork made by people inspired by anime and manga. There are often children putting on heroic costumes such as Superman and ‘shojo’ or magical girls, an anime sub-genre of young girls who use magic. Through depicting children especially, Shimoda reveals the problems people in today’s society struggle with from within. Children possess a simple existence because their identity is ambiguous which provides her with an original point of view.
In her ‘Whereabouts of God’ portrait series of other-worldly horned children, she also comments on Christianity’s anointment of Jesus Christ as savior of humanity and mirror of our fantasy heroes. These characters not only represent heroism but an adult desire to watch our children grow and defend the world we have constructed. With each new piece, Shimoda advances her search for salvation and her deeper understanding of this chaotic world.
“The cute and pop subjects you can see in my pieces first are important key items to understand the themes of my art. There are various aspects in this world today, and it’s difficult to reveal the essential qualities of things just by depicting those serious aspects as they are. Therefore I need manga-like characters and cute colors or subjects as a ‘common language’ to represent serious aspects of this world. The definition of ‘Irasuto’ today is manga-like artwork that artists paint freely as they please, so it’s different from ‘illustration’ that has specific orders of client. In other words Irasuto is articulate, so Irasuto has a strong influence on young people who face various problems in the world, and also have great potential for the future.” – Hikari Shimoda (Cotton Candy Machine) | <urn:uuid:f10b9f17-45a7-4f52-83fd-1037ce8af226> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://wowxwow.com/artist-profile/hikari-shimoda-ap | 2019-06-26T06:24:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000175.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626053719-20190626075719-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.963751 | 497 | [

Rosa Nagle: Meet the Playwright
In anticipation of the sixth episode of Season 1, coming out on Monday, December 4, let's get to know the playwright of Ghost Stories, experimental playwright Rosa Nagle, in her own words.
"I am an experimental playwright and poet from Boston. I have a BA in English. I write for both indoor and outdoor stages. My short plays have been in various festivals. My outdoor, interactive play October was produced in July, 2017, by a troupe I co-founded, Contemporary Park Shorts. We produce plays that I write at Boston-area parks. In all my work, I combine poetry and movement. I create 'magic' by creating abstract and absurd worlds. I want my audience to be enveloped in the world I create onstage. Overall, I strive to create intense, personal, sensual moments."
Ghost Stories was a Eugene O'Neill Theatre Conference Semifinalist for Ghost Stories. You can see Rosa's plays on the New Play Exchange. | <urn:uuid:f28f209d-b2fa-4e4e-9125-e29b1c6e6d7d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.bostonpodcastplayers.com/updates/meet-rosa-nagle | 2019-06-26T05:40:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000175.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626053719-20190626075719-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.968169 | 212 | [

After the Cold War ended, neutral Sweden relaxed its military posture, reduced its defense spending, conducted fewer exercises, and focused on domestic issues, anticipating a period of security calm. But as Russia flexes its military muscles—having annexed Crimea, invaded Georgia and Ukraine, and taken a highly aggressive posture toward its other European neighbors—Sweden is moving quickly to heighten its readiness and ability to deter a war—or fight one.
Its principal military instrument is its air force.
This is “the new operational environment,” said Col. Lars Helmrich, Skaraborg wing commander for the Flygvapnet (Swedish air force) in an interview at F7 air base last year. Helmrich, who was designated to speak on behalf of the Swedish air force to Air Force Magazine, is a 26-year Flygvapnet veteran. He has held an array of operational, staff, materiel, and policy jobs and attended the US Air Force Air War College and participated in a Red Flag exercise. He said Sweden believes Russia will make good on its plan “to have 70 percent of their [military] materiel modernized” by 2020.
Stockholm has watched with growing concern as Russia made aggressive moves and cyber attacks on Baltic nations in recent years. A March 2013 incident galvanized public opinion to strengthen the military when Russian Tu-23M3 Backfire bombers and Su-27 Flanker fighters staged an unannounced mock nuclear attack toward Stockholm and other presumed targets in southern Sweden.
Russia’s recent buzzing of US and NATO ships is mirrored by similarly dangerous incidents with the Swedish military, where surveillance and signals intelligence aircraft have been intercepted over international waters by Russian jets that sometimes fly just a few feet away. Russian military aircraft frequently fly over the Baltic Sea without transponders that identify them and demonstrate other “provocative behaviors,” Helmrich said.Moreover, “even though they have economic problems,” Helmrich said of Russia, “they still prioritize their military buildup.”
Such tensions, coupled with new competition in the Arctic for resources and sea routes, has put Sweden in the thick of things, he said. “The strategic importance of our area of interest—our neighborhood—is increasing.”Along with the European refugee crisis—hitting Sweden with a wave of unexpected immigrants—and terrorist bombings around Europe, the time was ripe for Sweden to step up its security posture. In 2015, a parliamentary white paper called for an increase in operational capability of the Swedish military, Helmrich said.new candor
“I can hardly remember when it was so … clearly stated” by the Swedish government that the country’s military should boost its readiness, Helmrich said. According to him, the paper stated that while Sweden is neutral, “the new security policy doctrine is that we don’t believe that we will fight alone; we will fight together with others.” While the “national” focus of the new policy is pre-eminent, the “interoperability aspect is still as important,” he said.
Since the end of the Cold War, he said, national defense was not prioritized, and that had consequences. “Everything from the base system to the personnel system—everything needs to be refocused now,” Helmrich said.
The white paper—called the “Swedish Defense Bill, 2016-2020”—set a plan to “successively increase the defense spending over the next five years with an 11 percent increase,” or 2.2 percent per year, a government website stated. The bill was described as being based on “broad political agreement” between Sweden’s five main political parties and was developed “in light of the developments in Russia and specifically the Russian aggression towards Ukraine.”
Summed up, the bill called for less theoretical planning and more specific planning for real-world scenarios; renewed investment in infrastructure and basic equipment (such as trucks); the creation of a new mechanized battalion; re-establishment of a military presence on Sweden’s Baltic Sea island of Gotland; more armored vehicles, bridging gear, self-propelled artillery, and anti-tank weapons; two new corvettes; expansion of air defense capabilities; more anti-submarine warfare capacity; increased investment in recruiting and sustaining troops; and a modernized civil defense and “active” cyber defense.
The bill approved further investment in the JAS-39 Gripen indigenous family of fighters and equipping it with the multinational Meteor beyond-visual-range radar guided missile.
The bill specifically ruled out making a judgment about whether Sweden’s neutrality continues to make sense, but called for an independent report gauging the value of Sweden’s military relationships with other countries, organizations, and alliances, such as the European Union, NATO, and “the transatlantic link” with the US.Swedish press outlets in September said the resulting report found that while NATO membership would add to Sweden’s deterrence, so would strengthened ties with Finland, another nonaligned country. Though she would not comment on the report directly, Sweden’s foreign minister, Margot E. Wallström, told journalists, “The answer is not Swedish NATO membership. Freedom from military alliances serves us well and contributes to stability and security in Northern Europe.” She also said Sweden’s security policy should be “long-term, stable, and protected from sharp fluctuations.”
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at the alliance’s meeting in Warsaw, Poland, last summer that he knows better than to encourage Sweden to join the group, saying it would not be taken kindly and that Sweden must make its choice internally.
Last June, US Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Sweden’s Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist signed a nonbinding statement of intent on military cooperation. It called for increased interoperability between the countries, more numerous joint training and exercises, more cooperation on armaments, research and development, and “meeting common challenges in multinational operations.”
Saab, maker of the Gripen, is partnered with Boeing to offer a candidate for the US Air Force’s T-X competition. Sweden, too, has a 50-year-old trainer—the Saab 105—and needs to replace it soon. The Erieye airborne warning plane will also need replacement in the coming years.
There’s already a good deal of partnership between the US and Sweden, particularly its air force. The Flygvapnet flies American C-130H transports, is a partner in the multinational C-17 Heavy Airlift Wing based in Hungary, and the Gripen uses a variant of the General Electric F404 engine flown on the American F/A-18 fighter. The Gripen is either certified or being certified to carry a wide array of US munitions, including air-to-air missiles, the Small Diameter Bomb, Joint Direct Attack Munition, Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW), Joint Air-to-Surface-Standoff Missile, Maverick air-to-surface missile, Miniature Air Launched Decoy, Paveway laser guided bombs, and both the Litening and Sniper targeting pods.
Sweden has been heavily involved with international military operations in the last two decades, participating in 12 over the last five years alone, Helmrich said. It participated in peacekeeping in Kosovo, has flown resupply missions in Afghanistan—both in Enduring Freedom and Resolute Support—rescue missions in Chad and Mali, maritime missions in the Gulf of Aden, participates in the NATO Response Force, and flew combat in the 2011 air campaign to oust Muammar Qaddafi from power in Libya. In that conflict, Sweden flew 580 defensive counterair or reconnaissance missions with the Gripen.
USAF Lt. Gen. Ralph J. Jodice II, who ran the air portion of the Libya operation for NATO, said at the time he was greatly impressed with the product from the Swedish recce pods. It is a capability USAF has long since ceded to remotely piloted aircraft. Helmrich said the capability Sweden deployed was not just the tools to collect imagery but included the experts needed to interpret it.
The Flygvapnet has adopted a new slogan in light of the 2015 defense bill, Helmrich said. “We want to be a reliable partner, … a credible air force, and deliver security in the Baltic area.”
Though NATO nations take turns performing Baltic air policing, Sweden performs the mission for its own national purposes, and closer to Russia than the NATO jets fly.
“We are not provocative” with the patrols, Helmrich asserted. “The aim is to be a stabilizing force, not to provoke incidents.” Sweden flies around-the-clock surveillance and signals intelligence missions with its Erieye airborne warning and control system-type aircraft and a Gulfstream 4 equipped for reconnaissance. Helmrich said there’s been a 50 percent increase in the numbers of such flights since 2012.
“Since the last 15 to 17 years,” there has been a heavy push for interoperability with other air forces, Helmrich said. This goal was a big reason for the conversion from the Gripen JAS-39A to the JAS-39C. This included changes in communications—adding the Link 16 data link, for example—plus symbology and metrics in English, the international language of aviation.
“They were built mainly to be interoperable,” Helmrich said of the JAS-39C fleet.“We talk English in the air. We started that in the early 2000s,” he said.
When he deployed with a Gripen force to Red Flag, “we were more interoperable than many NATO countries,” he asserted. Though Helmrich did not fly in Operation Unified Protector—the Libyan campaign—“everything I’ve heard is that it was seamless. … We were in place 24 hours after the political decisions.”
Helmrich said some old defensive measures are being revived in Sweden. During the Cold War, Sweden routinely operated its fighters from hundreds of roads and highways that were built straight and wide enough to serve as runways, so that if its air bases were destroyed, the Flygvapnet could continue to operate. Roadside turnoffs mark areas where the jets were serviced, fueled, and rearmed. The air force stopped using its highways as alternate runways back in the 1990s, in the defense lull after the Cold War ended, but has begun reviving this practice, Helmrich said.
“All those skills” involved in field-turning fighters, he said, “have to be brought back again.” The air force is working with agencies that maintain the roads, as well as those owning the adjacent forests, to reinvigorate the practice.
“It’s not just materials and equipment, it’s how to perform command and control, turnaround times, and so on. So not back to an old concept but a new concept that uses some of the ingredients from the past.”Under the new defense bill, he said, “we now have six fighter squadrons,” counting two former training-only squadrons. Air battalions have been reorganized as wings.
The Flygvapnet counts about 4,000 “permanently employed and 700 on a contract basis.” The rough breakdown is 900 officers, 1,400 noncommissioned officers, and 900 airmen.
Helmrich boasted that “there’s about 20 personnel per platform.” Compared with other air forces, “we are very personnel-effective—very efficient.” Pilots typically get between 120 and 180 hours a year, up to 15 a month. While that may not sound like a lot, “the exercise area is here,” Helmrich said, so there’s no transit time to get to a training range. “When you’re gear up, you’re there. … You can train anywhere you want. The airspace is just great.”
Sweden used to have a universal conscription program that brought in draftees for a two-year hitch (unless they volunteered to serve and enter a career path), but it was abandoned in 2010 in favor of an all-volunteer system. It’s been “a challenge for us” to compete with the private sector for the most qualified youth, Helmrich said.Sweden regularly hosts other countries for exercises, particularly with Finland—also neutral, but flying US F/A-18s—and Norway, a NATO member. These Arctic Challenge exercises and lesser, squadron-to-squadron, meets happen several times a year. American F-15s from RAF Lakenheath in the UK sometimes come up to Sweden for training, Helmrich said.
The Gripen is the centerpiece of Swedish defense, much as the Viggen before it and the Draken before that. All three aircraft were ahead of their time, and the Viggen and Draken, painted gray, would look right at home on a modern runway even though their designs date back to the ’50s and ’60s.
The Gripen is used for point defense, offensive and defensive counterair, anti-shipping, close air support, reconnaissance, and interdiction. It was designed to be nimble and quick, without heavy fuel tanks because it would operate so close to home, and to be easily maintained.
“Turnaround time is between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on what kind of mission you’re doing, and it can be done with two technicians,” Helmrich said. At Red Flag in 2008, the Gripen achieved a 95 percent rate of launching planned sorties, he said.
The Gripen concept calls for “continuous upgrades,” with a major addition to capabilities every third year and smaller block upgrades to existing systems every calendar year.
“Some countries,” Helmrich said, “you have a big upgrade and you live with it a number of years. We do this continuously.”
The most recent upgrade added capability for the Meteor missile, Small Diameter Bomb, night capability for the recce pod, Link 16, and digital close air support, Helmrich said, along with improved maintenance requirements, to increase availability.
The Meteor is “a game changer,” he claimed. The air-breathing missile offers “a bigger no-escape zone” and greater range than the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, Gripen’s principal beyond-visual-range weapon. The motor allows the Meteor to retain propulsion all the way to the target, allowing it to “keep high speed until the very end. A traditional missile engine loses speed. So this is … really great.”Helmrich said, “I can’t see that there’s any fighter that can compete with Gripen in the air-to-air role at this moment.”
Sweden designed the Gripen not only for its own purposes but for export, to defray its own expense in fielding the jet. It touts the Gripen as an inexpensive alternative for nonaligned countries seeking an effective, easily maintained air defender. So far, the Gripen has logged sales to the Czech Republic, Hungary, South Africa, Thailand, the UK (where it is used in small numbers in the test pilot school), and recently to Brazil, which is buying the advanced JAS-39E and F model.
The newest model of the Gripen, the E version, is set for first flight this year. The JAS-39E concept was worked out over a period of several years, Helmrich said. During that time the Flygvapnet and Saab looked at options ranging from a modest upgrade of the C model up to a clean-sheet, stealth design. Planners determined that with new sensors, tweaks to the airframe, and a lot of new avionics, the existing Gripen could be affordably evolved into a world-class platform able to hold its own militarily and in the export market through 2040, he said.
The E model will have a more powerful version of the GE F414 engine as well as new weapons like the Meteor and Small Diameter Bomb, additional underfuselage hardpoints, an infrared search-and-track system, new air-to-surface missiles, greater internal fuel capacity, new data links, an active electronically scanned array radar, and sensor fusion throughout, Helmrich said. The jet is being developed to reduce workload and offer increased availability and potentially faster turn time.
The first JAS-39Es will be delivered circa 2023 and notionally retire around 2042, he said. After that, it will be time for yet another ahead-of-its time design.
Implementing the defense bill is all about “shifting the mind-set” of the Flygvapnet, Helmrich stated.“We are now turning to a more practical focus … on actions and skills,” he said. “It’s not what we are capable of, but what we can actually do. And that is really important to us. So we are once again on a war basis: We participate in more exercises. We train a lot more and … show that we do more air operation and also practice a lot of individual military skills.”
Helmrich said the new ethos is: “What we do, not what we can do.” Through these efforts—particularly the steady practicing of interoperability with the US, NATO, and others—the Flygvapnet increases capability, “and by doing that we are a stabilizing force in this area.”
Because of Russian provocations, Sweden is in a more dangerous neighborhood than most would have anticipated 20 or even 10 years ago, but it is seeking the partnerships and equipment needed to secure its defense.

When mourning the loss of a loved one, the stages and steps you go through are universal by people from all walks of life. Mourning can stem from an individual’s own terminal illness, the loss of a deeply valued or close relationship, or the death of a valued being, whether it be a human or animal. While each person works through these five stages differently, we all go through them.
In our process of bereavement, we take varying lengths of time and intensity to work through each step but it is important to give yourself the necessary amount of time in order to work through them.
The five Stages of grieving
1. Denial and isolation: This first reaction to learning of the illness or death of a cherished loved one is to deny it. It’s a defense mechanism that is totally normal in order to rationalize the overwhelming emotions brought on by this situation. Think of it as a buffer. This is a temporary response that gets us through the first wave of grief.
2. Anger: This is where the reality sets in and the emotional pain starts to emerge. Anger may be aimed at objects, people, friends or family, but it stems from being angry that the person has caused us pain or left us.
3. Bargaining: Our unavoidable feelings of helplessness and vulnerability ultimately lead to wanting to regain that control by means of bargaining. In other words, we try to make a deal with a higher power in order to postpone the inevitable. This is a weaker line of defense in order to protect our emotions from what’s really going on. For example:
- “If only we had sought out medical attention sooner…”
- “If only I had gotten that second opinion from a different doctor…”
- “If only I had gotten to say one more thing to them…”
4. Depression: The most familiar of them all, this reaction is that feeling of helplessness and loss of all happiness and positivity. Sadness and regret are the most common forms of depression.
5. Acceptance: Reaching this stage of the grieving process is a gift that is not given to everyone. Death, or another form of a loss, may be sudden and unexpected which can lead someone to never move beyond our anger or denial. But should you move through these stages and get to this point, you have found that inner peace and calm in accepting the fact that your loved one is gone.
Although these stages may vary by person, it’s healthy to go through each of them for a short while while going through your grieving and when dealing with this, setting up some sort of mourning service in Oakland, CA can certainly help you attain closure and reach the point of acceptance.
Mourning services in Oakland, CA can help give you the chance to say your goodbyes and be around loved ones that feel the same as you in order to obtain that final closure that you need. Losing someone or something is never easy and it is an emotional process that you need to work through; however, mourning services in Oakland, CA are able to help get you to that acceptance stage. | <urn:uuid:bf786798-99e3-4a3b-8893-37572982a88b> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://sunsetfuneral.co/2014/11/a-mourning-service-in-oakland-ca-is-important-for-the-grieving-process/ | 2020-08-03T08:38:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735792.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803083123-20200803113123-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.965786 | 646 | [

Three anti-fracking campaigners who breached a protest injunction could be vindicated by recent earth tremors in Lancashire, the High Court was told today.
Katrina Lawrie, Christopher Wilson and Lee Walsh locked themselves together, along with three others, outside Cuadrilla’s Preston New Road shale gas site near Blackpool in July 2018.
In June this year, they were found in contempt of court and were appearing before a judge in Manchester this morning at the start of a two-day sentencing hearing.
Barrister Richard Brigden, for Mr Wilson, said in some protest cases campaigners were later vindicated by history. But he said:
“In this case we may be in the territory where people are being vindicated already.”
Referring to the UK’s strongest fracking-induced earth tremor at the site a week ago, he said:
“Houses were shaking. Businesses, locals and others have come out against fracking in a way that they have not done before.”
“Unlike some contempt of court cases, there is no selfish motive here. These are conscientious people who are trying to do something that they believe will save future generations from an uninhabitable earth.”
Adam Wagner, representing Miss Lawrie and Mr Walsh, said:
“In light of what is happening, I make the following submission: it is not my clients who are the real danger here. It is Cuadrilla.”
“Free speech is a hollow concept if one is only able to express “approved” or majoritarian views. It is the intolerant, the instinctively authoritarian, who shout down, or worse, supress views with which they disagree.”
The judge at Manchester Civil Justice Centre, Mark Pelling, had already ruled out imposing a prison sentence on the three campaigners. He said his options were either no penalty, a fine or a suspended sentence.
Cuadrilla had asked for a suspended sentence with a condition that the three did not go within 250m of the Preston New Road site entrance for 12 months.
Arguing for no penalty, Mr Brigden said:
“The spectre of a prison sentence has hung over them for about a year and that has had a deterrent effect on them.”
Adam Wagner, for Mr Walsh and Ms Lawrie, said the protests were peaceful. If the campaigners had been found guilty in the criminal courts, the most serious penalty would be a £1,000 fine but they were more likely to receive a conditional discharge, he said.
Judge Pelling said:
“The civil justice system depends on everyone abiding by the orders that the court makes. It is not open for someone to say that the ends justify the means.”
He will announce the sentences tomorrow morning (Tuesday 3 September).
Challenge to injunction
Today’s hearing also considered an application to vary the terms of Cuadrilla’s injunction.
The three campaigners and Friends of the Earth had sought to bring it into line with changes made to a similar injunction granted to Ineos Shale following a successful challenge.
Appeal court judges in that case ruled that sections of the Ineos injunction were unlawful because they were too wide and insufficiently clear. The court removed a prohibition of the protest tactic of ‘slow walking’ in front of vehicles. It also rejected the use of the word ‘intention’ from parts of the order.
Friends of the Earth said yesterday it had been forced to withdraw from arguing for a variation to the Cuadrilla injunction. It said Judge Pelling had refused to grant protection from costs that could have reached £85,000 if the case was lost.
Today’s hearing was told that other circumstances had “materially changed” and the entire injunction should now be quashed.
The court heard that that following the record-breaking tremor, the Oil & Gas Authority had suspended fracking at Preston New Road for an investigation described as “open-ended”.
Mr Wagner said:
“Whilst no fracking is taking place on the site, there is no need for an injunction. It should now be discharged. In the event that fracking resumes, Cuadrilla can apply to resurrect this injunction, albeit in a less draconian form.”
Mr Wagner said Cuadrilla had accepted that the injunction order should be revised. But he said:
“Its proposed amendments would make the order even wider and more restrictive”.
It would continue to have a chilling effect on protest, he said.
At times, the crowded public gallery watched as barristers and the judge sought to edit the wording of sections covering trespass, blocking the site entrance, obstructing the highway, slow walking and climbing onto vehicles.
Tom Roscoe, for Cuadrilla, proposed that people should be prevented from walking along sections of the carriageway of Preston New Road either side of the site entrance.
He asked the court:
“Why should anyone on this stretch of access road be walking in the carriageway at all? Where there is a footpath they should not be walking the carriageway.”
But the judge said it was not against the law to walk in the carriageway. Lawyers for the campaigners argued that people crossing the road could be caught by the injunction. How many times was it acceptable, under the injunction, to cross the road? And would this stop people feeling able to cross?, the court was asked.
A proposed revision against people fastening themselves to a vehicle could cover people wearing seatbelts, it was suggested. Another proposal prohibiting interference with a vehicle risked covering people trying to help someone trapped in or under a car. A section seeking to prohibit people attaching themselves to each other could inadvertently cover holding hands or hugging.
Mr Wagner said:
“It [Cuadrilla] now appears to be including examples of behaviour that it thinks should be prohibited in the bellmouth [site entrance] without any reference to the consequences”
He urged the court to be “extremely cautious of adding back in ‘intention’ when the Court of Appeal had clearly disparaged its use”.
Judge Pelling will rule tomorrow on the application to vary the injunction.
The case adjourned until 11.30am.
