Event: 4th TAGCOM Toys and Hobbies Convention (Day one)
Location: Robinson's Place Manila, Midtown Atrium
Went as: Nozomu Itoshiki from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
This was my first convention of the year, and I haven't cosplayed (not outside of school, anyway) for months so I was looking forward for my debut-ing of Zetsubou-sensei, sans the equally neurotic schoolgirls (which, I have to admit, I should bring along the next time I do this character, ahahaha). Ahem... Anyway, I heard that the cosplay competition for TAGCOM was on Day 2, but since I couldn't attend on Day 2 (since I have far more important things to do like studying for my two major exams next week), I decided to go to Day 1 instead, with or without cosplayers present... Just to enjoy myself before the university starts shoving crap down my mouth.
So when I got there, the convention just opened, and there was a glaring lack of cosplayers. I can count a couple vocaloids and some rozen maidens hanging around... But nothing substantial... So I figured I'd wait for more of them to arrive before I change. So I hung around a bookstore reading
vampire knight manga, then I had lunch at a chinese restaurant, before going to the nearest bathroom to change. The problem is, they decided to lock all the spare cubicles for some sick, twisted reason... So it took quite a bit before I got changed.
...And so it seemed that my camera is acting up. I don't know what its problem is, but whenever I take a picture, horizontal lines appear on the display. So it would seem that taking pictures is a bit out of the question. But I didn't let that stop me.
So I went around, bumped into a few friends, and purchased some merchandise. Most notably a pin with Nozomu's face on it and the word "ZETSUBOUSHITA!", which I found cute and fitting. I so wanted to buy a figma, or at least a nendroid, but I didn't have the cash to spare. Some of the nendroids were upwards of Php300, while the figmas were a staggering Php1500 (that's a week and a half's allowance already!). Anyway, I was a tad surprised at the amount of photo ops I got, considering most people don't watch Sayonara Zatsubou Sensei. It was amusing... Haha. But when I do see someone who knows the series who's aiming their camera at me, I do the despair pose. ahahaha.
Yeah, so over-all, I had fun. Next convention will be in exactly 31 days, the 3rd Philippine Cosplay Convention! | <urn:uuid:eee0e4c9-06f9-471e-bdba-c4fa9c82c325> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://darksage29.livejournal.com/31374.html | 2017-06-24T18:50:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320323.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624184733-20170624204733-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.973849 | 594 | [

The excitement surrounding the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves is evident around the NBA, as many look forward to seeing their talented young roster blossom and live up to their potential over the coming years.
With the last two Rookie of the Year award winners in their ranks in Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, along with back-to-back Slam Dunk champion Zach LaVine and promising rookie Kris Dunn, it's easy to see why fans in Minnesota are approaching the new season with increased optimism.
A big reason for that optimism can also be attributed to the hiring of Tom Thibodeau as the new head coach tasked with leading this talented young group of players.
The Timberwolves have been, and will continue to be, one of the most talked about teams throughout the offseason.
Increased media attention will place a degree of pressure on the franchise to show a vast improvement on the 29-53 record they accrued in the last campaign.
However, it appears there's also pressure from within the camp too as Towns outlined exactly what the team must achieve next year in an interview with NBPA's Jared Zwerling.
"We've got to make the playoffs. We've got to do something special, and it's up to us to continue to work and to make that happen," he said.
The 19-year-old is already displaying leadership qualities despite just one year in the league and he's showing an understanding of what's required of him as the face of the franchise.
The big man admitted that learning under Kevin Garnett has allowed him to develop as a player and he is ready to be even better over the coming year.
"I've had a whole season to learn under KG [Kevin Garnett]. I just feel that I can be a much better player," Towns said. "Having a whole year to learn and have the whole year to see for myself what it takes, I feel I'm going to be a much better leader from a player standpoint. I will take what I've learned in one season and build upon it. It's going to be awesome."
After displaying his scary ability in his debut campaign, Towns has the necessary tools to become a superstar and a future MVP in the league, and it will be fascinating to see just how far he can take the T-Wolves in the years to come. | <urn:uuid:3c9cfde7-c428-4c22-b36c-41628a1c3528> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.givemesport.com/865520-karlanthony-towns-says-the-timberwolves-must-make-the-playoffs-next-season | 2017-06-24T19:48:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320323.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624184733-20170624204733-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.979629 | 474 | [

BOSTON -- A sequel may not be out of the question for the Boston Celtics.
While many things can happen on and off the court between now and the start of the 2008-09 season, the core of the NBA Champions --including the starting five--will remain intact.
Forwards Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, center Kendrick Perkins, and guards Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo are all under contract for next season.
Pierce, Garnett, and Allen will be ages 31, 32, and 33, respectively, by the time November rolls around. Perkins turns 24 years old in November. Rondo just turned 22 this past February.
Bench players Leon Powe, Glen Davis, Brian Scalabrine, and Gabe Pruitt, are also due back for another season.
The list of players who may not be back in the fold due to free agency or retirement include James Posey, Eddie House, P.J. Brown, Scot Pollard, Sam Cassell, and Tony Allen.
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, of course, is also slated to return next season.
The draft is June 26.

Go Mr. Robertson. Tackling the high migration cost argument, with respect to the good enough.
It’s kind of like the situation that French wine found itself in recently. For a very long time, French wine was perceived to be the best in the world, and sellers were able to charge a premium based on that perception. Over time, various competing sellers popped up with much, much lower costs – Chilean, Australian, and Italian wines, for example. For a variety of reasons (some political, some price based), people started trying out the alternatives over the last few years and discovered two things:
- The alternatives weren’t worse – they were at least as good
- The alternatives were a lot cheaper
I don’t agree with James that all other wines are at least as good, but then again I don’t drink Chablis every day. | <urn:uuid:84bd5821-8f62-48b0-8d54-0b31f409cdf7> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://redmonk.com/jgovernor/2005/10/31/on-open-office-as-jacobs-creek/ | 2017-06-25T13:59:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320532.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625134002-20170625154002-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.983124 | 183 | [

Venous blood gases and other alternatives to arterial blood gases
- Arthur C Theodore, MD
Arthur C Theodore, MD
- Associate Professor of Medicine
- Boston University School of Medicine
An arterial blood gas (ABG) is the traditional method of estimating the systemic carbon dioxide tension and pH, usually for the purpose of assessing ventilation and/or acid-base status. However, the necessary sample of arterial blood can be difficult to obtain due to diminished pulses or patient movement. Diminished pulses may reflect poor peripheral circulation or low blood pressure, while patient movement is frequently caused by the pain associated with arterial puncture.
A venous blood gas (VBG) is an alternative method of estimating systemic carbon dioxide and pH that does not require arterial blood sampling. Performing a VBG rather than an ABG is particularly convenient in the intensive care unit, since most patients have a central venous catheter from which venous blood can be quickly and easily obtained.
The sites from which venous blood can be sampled, measurements that can be performed on venous blood, and correlation of venous measurements with arterial measurements are reviewed here. Other alternatives to ABGs for estimating systemic carbon dioxide and pH are also described, including end-tidal carbon dioxide and transcutaneous carbon dioxide. ABGs, capnography, and mechanisms of oxygenation are reviewed separately. (See "Arterial blood gases" and "Carbon dioxide monitoring (capnography)" and "Oxygenation and mechanisms of hypoxemia".)
VENOUS BLOOD GASES
Sampling sites — A VBG can be performed using:
●A peripheral venous sample (obtained by venipuncture)

When The Box Mod vapes first came onto the vaping scene, the e-cigarette industry was dominated by cig-alike MTL vapes and vape pens. For those seeking greater power, longer battery life, and more intense flavors, the mainstream vaping options (which were primarily carried in gas stations and tobacco smoke shops) did not suffice their vaping desires. This discrepancy in the industry lead many rogue vape enthusiasts to create and modify their own vapes and the ability to hold larger batteries. For this reason, box mods were given their name as they were modified, highly customizable devices that were housed in box-shaped metals to hold larger batteries.
As the vaping industry developed, many consumers began to seek out box mods as the allure of customizable parts and increased vape capability brought box mods out into the mainstream. While many consumers love the major functional options that box mods that box mods provide, some find that the products look awkward and lack customer friendly user interface/buttons. At Aspire we aim to provide our customers with only premier quality products. With an emphasis on professionalism and customer feedback, we released the Aspire box mod Archon. The Archon is an innovative device in that it utilizes a sleek, compact design that packs a powerful punch rated at 150 watts. As an advanced Personalized Vaporizer (APV) the Archon can hold two 18650 batteries for lengthy vape sessions when at home or on the go. In addition, the ergonomic design of the Aspire box mod Archon makes for easy grip that makes it pleasurable to hold in your hand for long periods of time. Not to mention, the Aspire box mod Archon highlights the “Ease of Use” feature on the buttons which allow the user alter variable options between wattage, temperature control, and bypass that are displayed on a screen. This Aspire box mod doesn’t mess around when it comes to safety features; offering overcharge protection, overheat protection, and child lock feature. All things considered, the Archon Aspire box mod is a well- rounded, powerful product designed for those who are seeking first rate vaping. | <urn:uuid:30b521a8-76b6-4014-8c5b-8cc5a6fe7711> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://aspirevapeco.com/aspire-box-mod-high-wattage-mods-set-industry-tone/ | 2017-06-25T14:01:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320532.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625134002-20170625154002-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.930583 | 432 | [

We talked about Sony’s new devices yesterday with their announcements for the Sony Xperia Z2 and the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2, and we went over a host of features that Sony has brought to the table with both devices. Among everything that the Xperia Z2 and Tablet Z2 have, some things stood out to us, like the return of the water and dust proof design making the devices extremely usable in the elements. Of course the live colour LED display is nice and we can’t wait to see what it looks like first hand, and some of the camera features sound like they’ll provide some interesting moments through video and photos. What piqued our interest the most though was the Digital Noise Cancellation that Sony has built into the phone and the tablet. This time around, Sony had their engineers integrate the digital noise cancelling software into the devices themselves, as opposed to providing us with a set of headphones that attempt to do the job.
The digital noise cancellation is something that is extremely important if you value the best quality sound of your audio. No matter what the sound is whether it be music, the audio for a movie, or a game, Sony understands that people have busy lives and many times they listen to their favorite tracks or engage their favorite content while in busy places. For example, on public transit. Having lived in the major metropolitan area of Portland here in the northwest for some years, public transit was a major form of transportation for me as it was easier to get around and quicker most times then driving a vehicle. The tough thing was that transit can be noisy and make it difficult to hear whatever you’re listening to. Sony points out in one of there hands on videos about the Digital Noise Cancellation that you can usually only get this quality of noise cancelling in big bulky headphones. Now with the Xperia Z2 and Tablet Z2’s built in digital noise cancellation, they were able to provide users with an unparalleled experience while using earphones that don’t have to do the hard work. Sony says that by taking the job of cancelling out background noises away from the earphones, the results sound better and are higher quality, and it enabled the earphones to work without a battery inside them. The audio quality is apparently pretty great, and we certainly can’t wait to test them out. Check out these videos that gives the break down on how the Digital Noise Cancellation works. http://youtu.be/26eppQdO1OEhttp://youtu.be/94y1JlZ5rPM | <urn:uuid:08421fc8-21df-4660-9890-a08e5a764adc> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/02/sonys-digital-noise-cancellation-provides-better-results-traditional-noise-cancelling-earphones.html | 2017-06-25T14:01:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320532.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625134002-20170625154002-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.954138 | 527 | [

|Just add ice cream|
Into a clean blender, add one (1) healthy piece of fresh apple pie (can substitute any type of pie here). In addition, into the same blender, generously add three (3) large scoops of vanilla ice cream. Finish by topping the mixture with 1/4 cup whole milk, 2% milk, or even some half and half. Blend well, but not ad infinitum. Spoon out into waiting small chilled bowls. Top with a cherry. Serve with spoon and napkins.

Edit: I’ve just got this CD home from work (where I ripped it using KAudioCreator with no problems) and tried to play it on my CD player, connected to my amp via an optical digital connection. Turns out the copy protection stops it playing correctly – throughout the CD there’s a regular click that only appears on that CD player – the lower end stuff in the house plays it fine. This is seriously a step too far. I’ve returned it, and recommend that you buy it from allofmp3.com instead and make some kind of donation direct to the artist via his myspace site to make up for the lost earnings. The irony of the label testing out such invasive copy protection on one of the world’s most anarchic artists surely can’t be lost of them. Cnuts. I’m furious. | <urn:uuid:5739d283-8311-4b7b-a1cf-9666e4a47dc4> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.offmessage.com/2007/01/rar/ | 2017-06-26T08:51:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320695.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626083037-20170626103037-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.936484 | 180 | [

KURT SAXON ON SURVIVAL:
Kurt Saxon, owner of Atlan Formularies, is the father of Survivalism. He coined the word. For years he’s collected knowledge on trades, crafts, cottage industries and survival skills from a past when our immediate ancestors had to do for themselves on a day to day basis. His work is in anticipation of a time when our overcrowded and down-bred system goes the way of Rome.
Kurt started his business in January of 1976 with a quarterly newsletter called "The Survivor". After publishing and selling twelve issues of "The Survivor", Mr. Saxon would collect all those back-issues and combine 3 to 5 long out of print books to this concoction to create a bound volume of one of his most famous works to date; "The Survivor" series of books. (Original text as appeared on the website of Kurt Saxon: We have 2 volumes in print with 8 more on both CD and DVD ROM ready to go to press just as soon we have the financial where-with-all to print them.)
Kurt’s most famous (or "infamous" if you happen to roost on the left side of the political spectrum) work is called "The Poor Man’s James Bond" series. We have the first of this series in print, with the other 4 all on CD/DVD.

New Haven Building Earns ENERGY STAR for Superior Energy Efficiency
Release Date: 10/29/2009
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Oct. 29, 2009) – The Long Wharf Maritime Center in New Haven, Conn., has earned EPA’s prestigious ENERGY STAR, the national symbol for superior energy efficiency and environmental protection. This designation signifies that the building’s energy performance rates in the top 25 percent of facilities nationwide.
The designation was given to Building 1 in the Long Wharf Maritime Center, which was built and is owned and managed by Fusco Corp.
“We at Fusco are thrilled to be recognized as a leader in superior energy. We accept EPA’s Energy Star in recognition of this great feat,” said Lynn Fusco, president of the company. “Through this achievement we have demonstrated our commitment to environmental stewardship. And our commitment does not stop here. Energy Start is a giant step toward Fusco's ultimate goal, LEED certification for existing commercial buildings, which we hope to achieve in 2010.”
Commercial buildings that earn the ENERGY STAR use an average of 35 percent less energy than typical buildings and also release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Fusco improved its energy performance by managing energy strategically across the entire organization and by making cost-effective improvements to its buildings.
“By improving a building’s energy efficiency we also protect our environment and our natural resources,“ said Ira Leighton, acting regional administrator for EPA’s New England office. “Companies like Fusco that earn the ENERGY STAR are taking environmental responsibility into their own hands.”
The Long Wharf Maritime Center, Building 1, is a 15-story building with more than 415,000 square feet of commercial space. It was designed and built in 1984 with an eye towards efficient technology. This included solar control glazing systems, variable air volume distribution systems and a water cooling system that reduced the need for electrical refrigeration. Recent renovations include a lighting system retrofit and upgrades to the energy management system. These initiatives will help in the company’s pursuing a LEED certification. The company is also exploring wind power, solar and rain harvesting.
“We encourage our businesses in our city to follow the example Fusco has set here and strive for increased energy efficiency and green building,” said Mayor John DeStefano Jr, ”If we all do our part we can make New Haven a greener and cleaner place to live, work and play.”
EPA’s national energy performance rating system provides a 1-100 scale that helps organizations assess how efficiently their buildings use energy relative to similar buildings nationwide. A building that scores a rating of 75 or higher is eligible for the ENERGY STAR. Commercial buildings that can earn the ENERGY STAR include offices, bank branches, financial centers, retail stores, courthouses, hospitals, hotels, K-12 schools, medical offices, supermarkets, dormitories, houses of worship, and warehouses.
ENERGY STAR was introduced by EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 60 different kinds of products, new homes, and commercial and industrial buildings. Products and buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved about $19 billion on their energy bills while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 29 million vehicles.

Aleksander Gierymski was born on 30th January 1850 in Warsaw, three years after his brother Maksymilian. Their father Józef Gierymski (1800-1875) worked in the military administrative building and was head of the military hospital in Ujazdów. By contrast with his brother who had previously been involved in technical studies and had taken part in the 1863 January uprising, Aleksander was able to follow his artistic leanings and talents directly. At first, like his brother before him, he took drawing lessons for a few months in 1867 under Rafał Hadziewicz (1803-1883) in the Warsaw drawing class (Klasa Rysunkowa), that had been set up in 1865 after the School of Fine Arts (Szkoła Sztuk Pięknych) had been closed down on account of its students participation in the 1863 January uprising. In 1868 he followed his brother to Munich. Here he also trod in his footsteps. In order to improve his drawing skills he matriculated at the Academy of Pictorial Arts in the “antique class” given by Alexander Strähuber (1814-1882), after which he studied under the history painter Hermann Anschütz (1802-1880).
By contrast with Maksymilian, who then pursued his studies in battle and equestrian scenes at the private painting school belonging to Franz Adam (1815-1886), Aleksander remained at the Munich Academy. He took courses under the history painter Johann Georg Hiltensperger (1806-1890), who had made a name for himself with frescoes in the Munich Residenz and the Hofgartenarkaden, before moving on in 1870 to the masterclass of Carl von Piloty (1826-1886). Under Piloty, who had been a professor at the Academy since 1856, the art school had become an important centre for realistic history painting. Józef Brandt (1841-1915), the most important Polish painter in Munich, had studied there since 1863. In 1871 Aleksander travelled with his brother to Venice and Rome. In 1872, along with two other highly valued Polish painters, Władisław Czachórsky und Maurycy Gottlieb, he selected a literary theme for his diploma under Piloty: this was a motif from Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice”, which won him the prize for the best composition. In the following year he painted the court scene from Shakespeare’s comedy, which he displayed in the German art section at the Vienna World Exhibition in 1873. Alongside his brother Maksymilian five other Polish artists were also represented here.
After Maksymilian fell ill with tuberculosis in 1872 and his stays at health resorts in Merano and Bad Reichenhall had brought no improvement to his health, Aleksander accompanied his brother to Rome in the following year in the hope that the climate there would provide him with a cure. Whereas Maksymilian completed his last painting in Rome in 1874, a Parforce Hunt in 18th-century costumes, Aleksander turned to genre motifs in Roman taverns like Playing Morra (Ill. 2). Seen from an academic point of view they are perfect. They show a balanced selection of colours and a particular interest in the use of light. Nonetheless he was reproved by contemporary Polish critics for choosing such trivial scenes. In summer 1874 Maksymilian (presumably accompanied by his brother), travelled to Munich to consult doctors there, after which he took a cure at Bad Reichenhall, where he died in September. Aleksander returned to Rome where he lived and worked until 1879. During this time, in order to counter the criticism of his “popular” motifs, he painted an Italian Siesta with Roman patricians in Renaissance costumes, inspired by masters of the Italian High Renaissance like Titian und Tintoretto.
Aleksander Gierymski travelled on several occasions to Warsaw during his time in Rome, and finally moved back home in spring 1880. Here he completed a painting in 1882 entitled In the Gazebo (Ill. 4). Since 1875 he had been working on a series of detailed studies for the painting in Italy, in which he had tried out arrangements and individual details from nature; above all he was trying to analyse light reflections and the phenomena of colours in the utterly Impressionist oil painting that eventually emerged. This painting remained an exception in Gierymski’s work for a long time, not only on account of its style but also because of the rococo costumes in which his protagonists were attired, as in a scene from a play. This is the sole occasion in which he followed his brother Maksymilian, who had previously become famous in Munich for his scenes of horsemen in 18th-century costume.
But in the long run the elegant genre of costume pictures in the style of the Renaissance and rococo failed to have any lasting attraction for Gierymski. Instead he turned to the style and content of Realism during his time in Warsaw. This had been propagated by the painter Stanisław Witkiewicz (1851-1915) and the literature, music and theatre critic Antoni Sygietyński (1850-1923) in the Warsaw geographic weekly Wędrowiec (engl. Wanderer). Both men had become acquainted with Gierymski many years before during a long stay in Warsaw (Ill. 7). Now his illustrations began to be published in this periodical. Gierymski mainly concentrated on urban landscapes from the poor quarters of Warsaw, the old city, Powiśle and Solec (Ill. 5, 6). They had an effect that was similar to picture reportages enlivened with everyday scenes. He pinned down portraits of simple folk like the Jewish Woman with Oranges (Ill. 3), religious rituals like the Jewish Trombone Party (Ill. 8) and working situations like the Sand Dredgers on the banks of the Vistula (Ill. 9) with precise observation devoid of any dramatic effects. In 1884 he set out for Vienna to search for a cure to a neurosis (that finally led to mental derangement at the end of his life), and also spent time painting on the Belgian North Sea coast during health cures. In 1885 he returned to Italy once more where he lived for periods in Padua, Venice, Florence and Rome.
In 1888 Gierymski returned once more to Munich, where he stayed until 1890. Nonetheless he returned to the Bavarian capital on two occasions in 1895 and 1997. From there he occasionally travelled to study open air painting in Schleißheim, in the Bavarian Alps, Kufstein and Rattenberg in the Tyrol. Here he changed his painting style once again. In his early years he had been interested in the effects of light in painting, and now he concentrated on night-time views. By contrast with Warsaw he now concentrated on the representative quarters of Munich, Max-Joseph-Platz and Wittelsbacher Platz (Ill. 10, 11), both of which were situated not far from the Munich Residenz to the west and south of the Hofgarten; and the pylons and statues lining the Ludwigsbrücke (engl. Ludwigs Bridge), over the Isar (Ill. 17) that had been modernised in 1890/91. Now the people in his paintings tend to be rather elegant even when everyday motifs like a cart full of men with dogs also occur. His painting style is naturalistic and he attempts to catch light effects by using fine particles of colour as faithful to nature as possible. Thus Gierymski followed the contemporary upper middle-class tastes of the period both stylistically and in his motifs, when we think, say, of the simultaneous Berlin night-time views by Lesser Ury (Unter den Linden after the Rain, 1888) or the highly popular “Moonshine” paintings of the time.
The fact that the new Munich paintings corresponded to aristocratic tastes is also shown by the commission he was given by the Lithuanian Baron Ignacy Korwin-Milewski (1846-1926) to paint similar motifs of Paris. Milewski, an art collector, political writer and traveller, had clearly taken courses in painting at the Munich Academy in 1875 where he had joined the circle of Polish artists and become an enthusiastic follower of their paintings. In order to fulfil this commission Gierymski travelled to Paris in autumn 1890. Here he completed his night-time views of the Louvre and the Paris Opera House (Ill. 13, 14), in both of which he made even stronger contrasts between light and shade.
But Gierymski also used his stay in Paris in order to study French painting. He busied himself intensively with the realism of Jean-François Millet, as is shown in his version of the Angelus motif (Ill. 12), that he executed at a time when Millet’s painting L'Angelus (1859) was all the rage. In 1889 it was sold to America after heated bidding between the Parisian Sedelmeyer Gallery and the American Art Association. In 1890 the painting was resold to Paris at a huge profit to become part of the Alfred Chauchard’s collection. By contrast with Millet’s painting which shows a pair of peasants at prayer facing each other during the ringing of the evening angelus that marked the end of the working day, Gierymski shows two women at prayer, one standing and the other kneeling, in a diagonal front view that fills the picture. Millet’s pitchforks and baskets are replaced by a rake and pitchers, whereas the broad landscape and the furrows in the earth are treated in a similar fashion. But the greatest difference is in their use of colour. Whereas brown tones dominate in Millet’s painting, thereby emphasising the arduous nature of peasant’s work, Gierymski chooses bright colours that mainly reflect the clothing of the women in a folklore manner – a style that was mainly used by the Polish painters in Munich when they turned to themes related to Polish history and popular culture.
Gierymski mainly studied Impressionist painting in Paris where he changed his painting style once again. He prepared his large-scale painting Evening on the Seine (Ill. 15) by making a huge number of preliminary studies and chose the Divisionist painting style used by the Impressionists, where the colours and light reflections are divided into basic colours and complimentary contrasts in a similar manner to that used by Claude Monet in his series of pictures entitled Les Meules (engl. The Haystacks, 1888-90). Even after Gierymski returned to Poland at the end of 1893 he continued to adopt this style of painting. He moved for a while to Krakow, probably because he had been offered a leading position at the Academy of Visual Arts (Akademia Sztuk Pięknych). Here he painted impressionist pictures of sunny landscapes, streets and genre scenes, alongside portraits of the inhabitants of the Krakow suburb of Bronowice. The painting The Peasant’s Coffin (Ill. 16), also belongs to this series: it shows a peasant couple in quiet desperation in front of the coffin of their dead child with the coffin lid leaning against the side of the house. That said, the impressionist style has been smoothed out into a folklore quality.
A feeling of increasing loneliness and isolation in Polish art circles led to Gierymski setting off on his travels once again. After his years in Munich in 1895 and 1897 he was on the road, mostly in Italy (Venice, Palermo, Amalfi, Rome and Verona) and on repeated occasions in Paris once more. He changed his painting style as often as the places he stayed. He portrayed the Castle park in Schleißheim in an almost pointillist manner; by contrast he portrayed the town walls in the Corner of the Plönlein in the old town centre of Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Ill. 18) in a realistic manner flooded with light. He created views of Italian squares, church courtyards and cathedrals in a summary arrangement of bright colours and with lovingly intricate architectural details; and everyday scenes full of people as in his picture of the Cathedral at Amalfi. With his view of the Inside the Basilika San Marco in Venice (Ill. 19), he succeeded in combining an astonishing mixture of styles made up of an almost photorealistic approach, impressionist details and effective contrasts between light and shade, Aleksander Gierymski passed away at some time between the 6th and 8th March 1901 in Rome. In Polish art history he is regarded as one of the most celebrated representatives of realism and a pioneer of experiments in light and colour in Polish painting during the second half of the nineteenth century (Ewa Micke-Broniarek).

Microsoft plans to release a next-generation Kinect device so accurate it can lip read, sources have told Eurogamer.
Kinect 2 will come bundled with future Xbox consoles, we understand.
The intention is that Kinect 2 will offer improved motion sensing and voice recognition.
One development source told Eurogamer that Kinect 2 will be so powerful it will enable games to lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing.
Kinect 2 can track the pitch and volume of player voices and facial characteristics to measure different emotional states.
The current Kinect is hamstrung by having to pass data to the Xbox 360 through ageing USB technology - an issue discussed by Eurogamer last year.
When Kinect launched in November 2010 the depth sensor was set at a 30 frames per second limit and a 320x240 resolution limit. The issue relates to the USB controller interface, which is capable of around 35MB/s, but it only uses around 15/16MB/s. This artificial limit is in place because multiple USB devices can be used at once on an Xbox 360.
Kinect 2, however, can feed the next Xbox more information, and thus a higher resolution CCD [charge-coupled device].
"It can be cabled straight through on any number of technologies that just take phenomenally high res data straight to the main processor and straight to the main RAM and ask, what do you want to do with it?" our source said.
According to a Digital Foundry report on GamesIndustry.biz, the first is a "pared down machine" to be released as cheaply as possible. It is likened to a set-top box, and will act as a Kinect-themed gaming portal.
The second is a "more fully-featured machine" with optical drive, hard disk and backwards compatibility. This would be aimed at hardcore gamers and released at a higher price-point.
Next-generation talk has ramped up in recent weeks, with Edge reporting that the next Xbox will launch late next year.
Digital Foundry believes this is unlikely, however, suggesting a 2013 launch. The console is rumoured to be set for a reveal at E3 2012.
Edge also claimed advanced development kits were already at major publishers and their teams - a suggestion corroborated by Eurogamer sources. We have been unable to verify the rumour that AMD is providing the GPU, however.
A report by MSNerd called the next Xbox the Xbox Loop - or the Xbox TV, which may relate to the rumoured cheaper Kinect 2 SKU.
Eurogamer understands Loop was the codename of Microsoft's early motion-sensing technology that predated Nintendo's July 2008 Wii Motion Plus announcement. It was a device that wrapped around a player's arm, and was said to be more accurate than both the Wii and the PlayStation Move controller.
Microsoft told Eurogamer it "does not comment on rumour or speculation". | <urn:uuid:5d4d7069-7bc8-47c2-ac8f-41616ff20a67> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-25-kinect-2-so-accurate-it-can-lip-read | 2017-06-24T02:46:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320209.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624013626-20170624033626-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.955029 | 602 | [

Pushups are a compound move that uses your body weight as resistance to strengthen your shoulders, back, chest, arms and core. Once you have mastered proper pushup form, increasing the number of reps per set requires cross training with resistance exercises, and also performing alternative variations of pushups.
Isolating each muscle group utilized during pushups and targeting them with resistance moves can help improve pushup strength. Perform bench presses to strengthen your chest, rows for your back, shoulder presses for the shoulders and rotating planks for your arms and core. Include a variety of resistance methods, such as barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, cable pulleys and resistance bands. Aim to fatigue after eight to 12 repetitions in each set. Complete three or four sets of each exercise.
Changing your hand or foot position during pushups can help to maximize muscle development. Slightly widening your hands or feet can work the muscles from an alternative angle. Elevating your feet by placing them on a bench or lifting one foot off of the floor can pose a greater challenge for your core and shoulders. Drop your knees to the floor to squeeze out two to three more reps after fatiguing in the traditional stance.
Include pushups in your training program two to three days per week. Consult with your physician before starting a new training program. | <urn:uuid:5f6cb48f-4477-4287-900d-2c4a2e2efe98> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.livestrong.com/article/163781-the-best-ways-to-increase-push-up-reps/ | 2017-06-24T02:03:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320209.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624013626-20170624033626-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.934843 | 270 | [

The notion of cylindric algebra, invented by Alfred Tarski, arises naturally in the algebraization of equational first-order logic. This is comparable to the role Boolean algebras play for propositional logic. Indeed, cylindric algebras are Boolean algebras equipped with additional cylindrification operations that model quantification and equality. They differ from polyadic algebras in that the latter do not model equality.
Definition of a cylindric algebra
A cylindric algebra of dimension (where is any ordinal number) is an algebraic structure such that is a Boolean algebra, a unary operator on for every , and a distinguished element of for every and , such that the following hold:
(C6) If , then
(C7) If , then
Assuming a presentation of first-order logic without function symbols, the operator models existential quantification over variable in formula while the operator models the equality of variables and . Henceforth, reformulated using standard logical notations, the axioms read as
(C6) If is a variable different from both and , then
(C7) If and are different variables, then
Cylindric algebras have been generalized to the case of many-sorted logic (Caleiro and Gonçalves 2006), which allows for a better modeling of the duality between first-order formulas and terms.

Question about Aquascape Designs Aquascape - AquaForce Solids Handling Pump - 1500 GPH Submersible Pump
What is the best way to aerate a pond during the cold Ohio winters?
I live near Memphis TN so don't have that pesky "frozen water" problem. However, I do aerate my 2,500 gal goldfish pond with a Oase Biosys Skimmer (free standing/ floating skimmer) which is powered by a Laguna fountain pump. I attached a small pipe on the discharge end of the pump & set the pump so that this pipe is a few inches below the water's surface. The discharge provides a small fountain effect that keeps the surface moving while aerating the water. The skimmer keeps the leaves / debris off the top of the water the pump keeps the water moving...and moving water will not freeze. Hope this helps

David Hussey Set For
Featured News | 30th January 2013
Australian batsman David Hussey is set to return for an eighth stint with Nottinghamshire.
Hussey made his Nottinghamshire debut in 2004 and will return to Trent Bridge in June to add fire power to the Outlaws batting line-up throughout the Friends Life t20 competition.
He will also be available for five LV= County Championship matches and four Clydesdale Bank 40 matches.
"David has been my first thought when recruiting overseas players for ten years now and he adds a lot of value in all formats," said Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell.
“When I look at the squad I think that there is the potential for us to make it to Finals Day but also to mount a serious challenge in the Championship." David Hussey
"For me, he is more than good enough to have warranted Test selection and to have a player of that calibre with an affinity for a particular county is rare and something that we have embraced.
"It has become increasingly difficult to sign a quality overseas player for an entire season but we are pleased that David and Ed Cowan will both spend a good amount of time with us."
Hussey, who holds the club record for Twenty20 appearances, will captain Notts Outlaws throughout the Friends Life t20 tournament but his stay will not coincide with that of compatriot Ed Cowan who is scheduled to depart at the end of June.
“There are lots of things I enjoy about playing for Notts but the characters in the dressing room, the atmosphere at Trent Bridge and the fact that the team are always competitive are the main reasons,” said Hussey.
“Captaining Notts Outlaws is something that I really enjoy and my method is to try and think two overs ahead of everybody else and to bring some stability in pressure situations.
“I have a great relationship with Mick Newell and Chris Read and we have some good discussions about how we want to play things.
“When I look at the squad I think that there is the potential for us to make it to Finals Day but also to mount a serious challenge in the Championship. I played all of the championship-winning season in 2005 and contributed in 2010 and those trophies rank amongst the best achievements of my career.”
If Hussey is to help Nottinghamshire maintain a title challenge, the early season form of Eddie Cowan could be crucial. He will arrive as Cowan departs but he is backing his compatriot to make a strong start.
“I’ve played a lot of cricket against Eddie and he is a high class player with great technical ability and a solid temperament,” said Hussey.
“He is used to playing in bowler friendly conditions in Tasmania where the wickets tend to be similar to Trent Bridge and he is a good player of pace which bodes well for Nottinghamshire.”
Hussey is anticipating a keenly contested Investec Ashes Series and expects his compatriots to make the fancied hosts fight hard to stand a chance of retaining the urn.
“The Australian Test team is in transition following the retirement of Ricky Ponting and my brother but beware of the wounded lion,” said Hussey.
“James Pattinson is the pick of some young bowlers who could cause England some problems and I’m hopeful that Australia can come out on top.”
Nottinghamshire are yet to contract an overseas player for the final month of the season but hope to secure the services of Cowan or Hussey subject to international commitments.

So last year we had to import the Timily’s friends to throw an open house for New Year’s. This year we had enough of our own. Despite a New Year’s Eve that included our car getting stolen, our New Year’s was a lot of fun. As a acolyte of my mother in law’s method of entertaining (which is to do everything in advance – she sets the table the night before an event!), I really did have everything done ahead of time. This was as stress free an event for 20 could possibly be.
We were even less stressed when a lot of people who RSVPed let us know they were felled by the same cold/flu/illness that J’s been struggling with this week. As it turns out, a lot of people who didn’t RSVP came so we ended up with the amount of people we expected. We did spend the first hour chillng out alone because the open hosue format meant anyone could stop by between noon and 5pm. But the rush of people came at 3:30 and it was a party!
Here’s the menu:
lumpia (frozen from Ranch 99 market)
shrimp with wasabi aioli – mayo with lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of wasabi powder and finely minced garlic
Curried deviled eggs with dungeness crab
Our awesome cheese platter
shortbread cookie sandwiches with damson jam
chocolate chip cookies
Barefoot Contessa chocolate-white chocolate chip cookies
One recipe thing is that I have the Nestle Toll House cookie recipe committed tom memory. I had to recall it many times in my Junior Year Abroad when we made chocolate chip cookies with chopped up Mars bars. (typing purely from memory)
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) of butter
3/4 cup of brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 bag chocolate chips
Mix dry ingredients together (everything up to the salt) and set aside. Cream sugars and butter together until light and fluffy. And eggs and vanilla and beat until uniform. Add dry ingredients and beat until mixed. Fold in chocolate chips with a spoon. Bake on standard cookie sheet 12 to a sheet on a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. | <urn:uuid:bf349c46-1cf8-4be6-a938-dde1b255a2ac> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://bayareafoodblog.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/our-traditional-new-years-day-open-house/ | 2017-06-26T10:36:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320707.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626101322-20170626121322-00676.warc.gz | en | 0.955751 | 496 | [

Iceland: Reykjavik City Council Boycotts Products from ‘Apartheid’ Israel
City leaders in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, have voted in favor of a boycott of Israeli goods to protest the ongoing illegal occupation of Palestinian land and the Jewish state’s “racial apartheid government.”
The controversial measure was introduced by Björk Vilhelmsdóttir, councilwoman for the Social Democratic Alliance, who is retiring from politics.
According to the motion, Reykjavik will no longer purchase Israeli products “as long as the occupation of Palestinian territories continues” in a show of support for “the right of Palestinians to an independent and sovereign state… in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 242 and a parliamentary resolution on the recognition of sovereignty and independence of Palestine.”
The motion also “expresses disapproval of the racial apartheid government in Israel.” It is meant to be a peaceful means “to influence the government and control groups in [a country] where human rights are non-compliant with international agreements.”
“Opposition worldwide against apartheid in South Africa is a good example of a country where the boycott of trade and various other relations had a significant impact,” the measure states, adding that in Israel, “conditions are in many ways similar and in South Africa of the apartheid regime.”
Iceland Magazine reports Sóley Tómasdóttir of the Left Green Alliance—who forms part of the governing coalition in Reykjavík along with the Social Democrats, Bright Future and the Pirate Party—said the city might boycott products manufactured in other states which engage in human rights violations.
Reaction from Israel was swift and harsh. The Israeli Foreign Ministry condemned what it called “a volcano of hatred [that] spews forth from the Reykjavik city council building,” a reference to the island nation’s intense volcanic and geothermal activity.
“For no reason or justification, except hatred for its own sake, calls of boycotting the state of Israel are heard,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “We hope someone in Iceland will come to their senses and end the one-sided blindness fielded against Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.”
Shurat Hadin (Israel Law Center), a legal advocacy group, issued a blistering condemnation, replete with insulting language, of the Reykjavik motion.
“Iceland, which is still weathering the results of its own massive economic crisis, has no business trying to bring financial or political sanctions against anyone, much less against the only stable and democratic nation in the war torn Middle East,” the group said in a statement. “It seems they have learned nothing about free trade from their own near economic collapse. Like their soulmates the Palestinians they neither invent nor manufacture anything and do not play any role in the world economy.”
“Iceland has in the past provided refuge to fugitive Nazi war criminals and is merely intent on blatantly impressing Muslim countries in its bid to become members of the UN Security Council,” the statement continued. “We challenge the city and the rest of Iceland too to really disconnect from Israeli technology and go back to living in the stone age. Israel needs to place an export embargo on Iceland and not allow any more of our technology to be sold there.”
Israel National News reports the European Jewish Congress (EJC) also accused Reykjavik’s council of “discrimination, warped hatred and singling out of one nation in the world for opprobrium” and threatened to sue the city over the measure.
There is no evidence to support Israel’s allegation that Reykjavik’s motion is hate-based. Iceland Review Online reports council leader Björn Blöndal insisted that the measure is in no way motivated by anti-Semitism and pointed out that councilwoman Elsa Yeoman, who is Jewish, voted for the boycott.
According to many critics, including former Israeli education minister Shulamit Aloni, Israel and its defenders often accuse those who speak out against Israeli policies and actions of anti-Semitism in a bid to deflect legitimate criticism.
Israel’s deputy ambassador in Oslo, Dan Poraz, wryly noted in an interview with Iceland’s RUV TV that Vilhelmsdóttir should give up her tablet computer, since it runs Israeli research and development, and that the city’s hospitals will need to give up some of their most important medicines and medical equipment.
Others noted the hypocrisy of boycotting Israel while engaging with other human rights violators around the world. Kjartan Magnússon, Reykjavik city councilor for the conservative Independence Party, wrote a letter to Iceland Review Online in which he did not refute claims of Israeli human rights abuses but argued that boycotts should be applied consistently wherever crimes occur.
“China would be an obvious example, the country where most acts of human rights abuse take place, as documented in reports by international human rights observers,” wrote Magnússon. “According to these reports, human rights abuse in China has lately been on the increase. Not least in Tibet, a country illegally occupied by China since 1950.”
“Mayor Dagur B. Eggertsson, council leader of Samfylkingin (social-democrat), has not let this widespread and widely reported human rights abuse in China hinder him from going on official visits to China on the invitation of the Peking regime,” continued Magnússon. “Boycotting one country while finding nothing wrong with being regaled by the World leader in human rights abuse reveals utter hypocrisy and base duplicity.”
Magnússon added that boycotts “seldom have the desired affect,” citing “the US embargo against Cuba for over half a century” as a “case in point.”
Eggertsson, who supports the boycott and who spoke last year at a Reykjavik rally where thousands of people protested Israel’s bloody Gaza offensive, responded by calling claims of anti-Semitism “ridiculous.”
“Reykjavík is a city of human rights. We have protested against China’s infringements on freedom of expression and the government’s oppression of dissenters, we have protested against the Russian government’s treatment of homosexuals and their allies by cutting ties with Moscow,” the mayor wrote in his newsletter. “The approved proposal from Tuesday is the logical extension of this.”
The Times of Israel reports Iceland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has distanced itself from Reykjavik’s motion.
“The Ministry for Foreign Affairs wishes to underline that the City Council’s decision is not in line with Iceland’s foreign policy nor does it reflect on Iceland’s relations with the State of Israel,” a spokesperson said by email, adding that the capital, which is home to a third of the nation’s population, “formulates policies pertaining to its own local affairs, including its procurement policy, ensuring that it is in accordance with national legislation.”
Israel’s occupation and settlements in Palestine are illegal under international law, as the Fourth Geneva Convention expressly states that an occupying power “shall not deport or transfer parts of its own population into the territory it occupies.” But many Israelis believe that ‘God’ promised them, as ‘His’ chosen people,’ all of Palestine, which was the site of ancient Jewish kingdoms. But from biblical times until the early 20th century, Jews never numbered more than 10 percent of the population of the territory that would become the modern Jewish state of Israel.
According to the United Nations, Israel has established around 150 official settler colonies, as well as another 100 or so unapproved outposts, since conquering and illegally occupying the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza and the Golan Heights during the 1967 Six Day War. In 1972, there were some 10,000 Jews living in settlements. By 2008, there were more than 500,000, with thousands more Jews settling on Palestinian land each year.
Before retiring last year, United Nations human rights official Richard Falk, a Jewish American, repeatedly asserted that Israeli settlement expansion is a “form of ethnic cleansing.” Other prominent international observers, including the Nobel peace laureates Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu and Mairead Maguire, accuse Israel of practicing apartheid policies.
“When Israel [occupies] territory deep within the West Bank, and connects the 200 or so settlements with each other with a road and then prohibits the Palestinians from using that road, or in many cases even crossing that road, this perpetuates even worse instances of apartness, or apartheid, than we witnessed even in South Africa,” said Carter, the former US president who won the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering a lasting peace between former bitter enemies Israel and Egypt.

This barbaric creature from Florida was arrested in Roseville over the weekend for reportedly being passed out drunk on a sidewalk – with her ugly “white” child also asleep right next to her.
According to a release from Roseville Law Enforcement, officers showed up to an apartment complex along Gibson Drive early Sunday morning after getting a report about a witch passed out drunk on the sidewalk.
The “white” creature’s three-year-old child was also reportedly sleeping right next to her. Bystanders woke the bitch up but she reportedly walked away without her child, prompting the bystanders to call the cops.
Officers were able to find the bitch and arrest her on charges of child endangerment. She was identified as 33-year-old Palm Coast resident Christina Wilson.
The child has since been placed in the care of another family member. | <urn:uuid:41a8a591-d5b7-45fb-ba9d-ca2ba3778d28> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://cynicalafrikan.com/2013/08/25/bitch-passes-out-drunk-on-sidewalk-with-her-ugly-child-next-to-her/ | 2017-06-28T02:01:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128322275.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628014207-20170628034207-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.973885 | 175 | [

Social Security offices cutting hours to public
Many offices close by 3 p.m., and sometimes noon
Hours are being cut back starting Wednesday at Social Security offices nationwide as a cost-cutting measure.
That means arriving early if you want to speak with someone about your benefits.
Mae Meriwether, of Roselawn, found out lunchtime was too late to take care of her business at the Evendale office.
"I come up here to drop this, and they're closed," Meriwether said. "I didn't know they were going to close. I could have (come) up here before 12."
Most Social Security offices will close to the public at noon Wednesdays. Office hours in downtown, Evendale, Florence and Batavia are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., except Wednesdays, when they close at noon.
Many issues can be taken care of online, but that's not always easy for senior citizens.
"Many seniors are online, they're savvy about the Internet, but many are not, so it's not a sole communication solution for a senior audience," said Laurie Petrie, of the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio. "You still need telephone, and you still need in-person, especially when you're dealing with complex and important topics, like Social Security."
Meriwether complained that she made a trip with no warning that the office would be closed.
"This is ridiculous," she said. "I didn't even know they were closing like that. They had the holidays off."
Meriwether suggested the office offer a drop-box, since she only needed to drop off some paperwork.
"Now I've got to come back," she said. | <urn:uuid:4701f040-4baf-4745-a102-e0e3a7bbcb78> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.wlwt.com/article/social-security-offices-cutting-hours-to-public-1/3527862 | 2017-06-28T02:07:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128322275.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628014207-20170628034207-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.987863 | 359 | [

Sometimes I forget Bryan Singer is making another X-Men movie and then the director takes to Instagram or Twitter to make an announcement and I’m reminded of X-Men: Apocalypse and its ever-expanding cast.
The call sheet got a bit longer today when Singer let his social media fans in on this scoop: newcomer Lana Condor will be playing Jubilee in the film. Fans of the comics (and 90’s show) remember that Jubilee is the young, new X-Man who can produce fireworks with her hands. And you thought all mutants had boring powers like controlling metal or reading minds. Fireworks!
Jubilee has been in previous X-Men films but was never a major part. Will she be a larger presence in Apocalypse or yet again on the bench while Magneto, Professor X and Jean Grey have all the fun?
Speaking of that cast, this thing is packed to the gills. X-Men: Apocalypse of course stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicolas Hoult but it also features Oscar Isaac, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Rose Bryne, Alexandra Shipp and probably more. How many dorm rooms does Professor X have at that damn school? | <urn:uuid:c5ac4748-2770-4fff-aa88-bf0a03028495> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.chud.com/161932/hey-look-its-jubilee/ | 2017-06-28T21:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323801.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628204133-20170628224133-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.934707 | 253 | [

This past week has somewhat trying. Malaga was rainy and surrounded by excessive train delays, schoolwork was difficult and abundant, and a bizarre run-in with a door has left my right middle finger virtually useless for the next several weeks.
So when the weekend finally came, I was more than ready to explore. I’ve certainly gotten to know the city of Valencia, and figured I’d take the time to share some of my knowledge with you now.
The postcard perfect Cuidad de Artes y Ciencias is just as amazing as it looks in the above picture. The surrounding parks make for a great jogging area, or just one of many places to watch the sun set. Reviews for the aquarium inside have been mixed, but the architecture is definitely work a quick walk past.
The Cuidad is at the end of the “Gardens of Turia.” Until a catastrophic flood in the 50s, Valencia had a large river flowing through its center. This river was redirected around the city, and the riverbed was filled with gardens, soccer fields, and fountains. For someone who enjoys a good walk through a bustling city, there could literally not be a better scenario.
But the jewel of Valencia is la Plaza de Ayuntamiento—or the City Hall Square. A central fountain makes the perfect meeting place; the best restaurants, stores, and nightclubs are all a short walk away from the Plaza.
Perhaps my personal favorite daytime attraction of the city is the Santa Iglesia Catedral. It’s here that I spent the majority of Saturday—exploring the various chapels and Catholic relics and climbing the 207 steps to the top of the Micalet Tower for an unsurpassed view of the city. But most impressive, of course, was the Holy Grail.
Yep, this weekend, I found the Holy Grail. No big deal. It’s a small alabaster cup with several (slightly gaudy) additions since the Last Supper. Turns out that the Holy Grail has been in Valencia since about 1,400 years after Christ’s death. The only other contender for the title is housed in Antioch, and is much more likely a lamp or “communal wine tank.” Regardless, it’s a fairly awe-inspiring, especially considering my affinity for Indiana Jones.
While my tour Saturday ended with the cathedral, Valencia’s tourist sights keep going through the Barrio Carmen, the older district of the city that’s home to all Valencian subcultures come nightfall.
There’s also the Plaza de la Virgen, which is home to the Tribunal de las Aguas, a Valencian court that’s been meeting for the past 1,000 years to resolve irrigation disputes. I’ve heard its a fascinating experience, but I have yet to attend due to classes. Speaking of classes, homework is waiting…
The upcoming week, while hardly Monon Bell week, looks to be an interesting one for me. Tonight, I’m meeting with a local Spanish student for some language practice, tomorrow with my lawyer internship and then a local Baptist to see about a Bible study. Thursday evening I take off for Seville where I’ll spend the weekend exploring yet another lovely Spanish city. Any gaps will be filled with a pleasant mixture of food, siestas, and homework.
Have a glorious week and keep the bell safe! | <urn:uuid:d97463cd-1567-49a2-8004-ee15cc963ddf> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://blog.wabash.edu/studyingabroad/2010/11/08/holygrail-valencia/ | 2017-06-28T20:46:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323801.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628204133-20170628224133-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.951027 | 725 | [

Happy Halloween! Put on a mask and cut somebody!
Don't really do that. If you don't have a costume, consider dressing up as someone from Scooby-Doo and then going around removing everyone else's masks. I didn't make that up but it's awesome.
I've got one more part of this story for you.

There are several questions in your request. Let’s look at them as a separate question.
1. Concerning an involuntary separation:
A Chapter 5-8, Involuntary Separation Due to Parenthood is an involuntary chapter, that is initiated by the Command, not at the request of the Soldier. The vast majority of Soldiers who are separated under this chapter are given an honorable discharge, unless they have some other negative counselings that would warrant a General Discharge.
Extract of AR 635-200
Paragraph 5-1, AR 635-200 governs the characterization of service for this type of separation. Para 5-1 states, “a. Unless the reason for separation requires a specific characterization, a Soldier being separated for the convenience of the Government will be awarded a character of service of honorable, under honorable conditions, or an uncharacterized description of service if in entry-level status. | <urn:uuid:1eaeadfa-5f61-4696-82a8-0888ffeca3f8> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://asktop.net/q-and-a/are-there-any-negative-repurcussions-in-being-involuntarily-separated-for-not-having-a-valid-family-care-plan/ | 2018-06-18T11:41:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267859766.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618105733-20180618125733-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.907951 | 189 | [

Woodlawn Chapel Theater presents Ken Meaux's Midnight Mysteries...a spooky show with Louisiana bayou themes.
Woodlawn Chapel presents Ken Meaux's Midnight Mysteries...a spooky show with Louisiana bayou themes.
Ken enters the stage and immediately states: "What you are about to witness is a theatrical production of what a paranormal event might look like". He then goes on to speak of the ghostly presence with us in the theater. Energy is recorded on the environment, and is played back like a needle in a record groove. That type of haunting is looped in a replay mode and with this type of contact there is no interaction.
Now...the other kind of haunting is a real time connection and TRIGGER items such as music, clothes, props can open a portal for a ghost to make it's presence known. Ken does NOT use any of the modern GHOST hunting electronic equipment such as: K-2 EMF Meters, Laser grip scopes, magnetic field resonance screens, etc. Instead the old basic NON-ELECTRONIC stuff like table tipping, a pendulum, consulting the glass ala Ouija board or just plain rapping on a table top and waiting for a ghostly response...and at Ken's Midnight Mysteries theatrical production...they WILL answer!!!
Can it be done for children?
Yes...if they are not too young. My act can be modified and toned down to suit a SPOOKY show for the kids! My past experience as a professional Magician and Ventriloquist is STILL active! But I now feel it is time to preserve and present my skills...and talents...as a storyteller, hypnotist, fortune teller and psychic entertainer!! | <urn:uuid:d453c16c-c1cb-47fe-a2f0-51bf8cb12af6> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://cajunmystic.com/woodlawn-chapel.html | 2018-06-18T11:03:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267859766.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618105733-20180618125733-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.910194 | 355 | [

Guidance and Counselling
Please follow this link to Mount Sackville's Guidance website:
Guidance and Counselling is at the heart of our pastoral care in Mount Sackville. Our Guidance Counsellor has a caring and supportive role in the school where students can get advice and support about a range of issues. From relationships to study skills and family difficulties to college advice and information, the Guidance Counsellor is on hand to meet with students in a confidential environment where can be cared for and supported throughout their time in the school. Counselling helps pupils explore their thoughts and feelings and the choices open to them. It gives care and support to pupils learning to cope with the many aspects of growing up and school life and with their individual personal circumstances.
Mount Sackville offers a comprehensive guidance and counselling service to all our students. The Guidance Counsellor liases with Year Heads, Class Teachers, Learning Support Teachers, School Chaplain, Subject Teachers, Deputy Principal and Principal. She also has regular contact with parents, psychologists, employers, colleges, social services, counsellors and the Department of Education
The role of the Guidance Counsellor falls into three areas:
- Educational Guidance & Counselling - providing support at key moments during your time in school. The Guidance Counsellor is involved in helping with the transition from primary to secondary school and with helping with subject choices in second year and fifth year. The Guidance Counsellor also works with students on developing their study skills.
- Vocational Guidance & Counselling - working closely with students in 4th, 5th and 6th year on career/ college choices.
- Social and Personal Guidance & Counselling – the Guidance Counsellor is available to meet with students to talk about any issue that might be affecting them. The students may also have talks and workshops on stress management, making friends, mental health etc.
In first year, the Guidance Counsellor works closely with the Year Head and Tutors to identify students who may need additional support in the transition from primary school into Mount Sackville. This can be a difficult time for students and their families as they cope with the academic demands of secondary school as well as trying to fit in and make new friends. The Guidance Counsellor will also be at every parent teacher meeting and there is an evening for parents and students on subject choices towards the send of the year.
Throughout 1st, 2nd and 3rd year, the Guidance Counsellor will be working with the Dean and tutor to identify students who may need support around personal issues (such as depression or low self esteem) or who need support around academic issues (such as study skills, subject choices and identifying students with particular learning needs).
In Transition Year, 5th year and 6th year, the Guidance Counsellor will continue to be on hand for students with personal issues, but all works in class groups with students around colleges and choices after school. This can involve visits to college open days, having guest speakers in and giving presentations to students and parents about their options.
The Guidance Counsellor is always willing to meet students and parents who may want to discuss any concerns or to provide any guidance advice if necessary.

The brief was to create branding for a luxury hotel in Helsinki, Finland, owned by two, young Finnish creatives. The branding should reflect the what the company offers; simplicity, style and coolness. I took the abstract shapes of A and T and reduced them to a chevron shape for the identity.
Branding for a typographic museum. The Type Factory identity is about seeing type differently and is based on the theme of deconstruction. The logo is formed with deconstructed letterforms. Deconstructing it further, one can find a hidden phrase within the logo, Type Fact. Aptly, the museum’s purpose is to educate people about type. The theme of deconstruction relates to making typography more abstract, looking into form and detail. People are more likely to be able to appreciate art and architecture, but not necessarily type. By making it more abstract, it garners a second thought.
The brief was to create branding for Arren Marketing, a digital marketing agency that has been created by two people recently employed by Google - Rehan Iqbal and Nikki Bruce. Arren is the phonetic spelling of the first letters of the directors’ names (R and N). They specialise in website design and development, content marketing and creation, social media marketing, graphic design and brand consultancy. They wanted an identity that reflected them as an innovative, contemporary digital marketing agency and a tone of voice that was friendly and approachable yet professional.

Arabic type experiments
Experiments with Arabic type
Past works and ongoing experiments with bilingual - Arabic + English design
Arabic font - Mouajanat WIP
This was a result of a 6-week Arabic Type Design Workshop in Beirut, Lebanon with Kristyan Sarkis and Lara Captan.
Arabic font #01 WIP
My first and very modest attempt at an Arabic font. This was done without previous knowledge of how to design Arabic fonts or the software to do so, but was more of an experiment to see what I could do.
Arabic font #02 WIP
Another modest attempt at an Arabic font. Again, this was done without previous knowledge of how to design Arabic fonts or the software to do so and was more of an experiment.
Branding and packaging for a honey brand targeted towards Muslims who consume Habbatus Sauda (Black Cumin) for its health benefits. An Arabic version of the logo was created in addition to the English one, but it was decided that the English version would suffice as the majority of the target audience would be English-speaking.
Initial ideas for routes

I don’t think I have ever just “lifted” a press release and put it on my blog (in fact I have shouted at someone for doing it before) but Pieter Bosch Botha has done such a fine job, and said such lovely things about me it deserves to be kept, word for word. Here it is. Please let me know if you would like to come to our special showing on Tues 13 March in Jozi.
FULLY COMMITTEDÂ – Press Release
Pieter Bosch Botha takes to the stage once more in what must be one of his greatest acting challenges yet. 1 actor, 36 Characters, and over 200 character transitions! This smash hit Off-Broadway comedy is swooping in to South Africa and has been spiced up with a whole lot of familiar homegrown flair. Directed by multi-award winning actress and director, Megan Choritz, who is also very well known for her comedic brilliance. Written by award-winning American playwright, Becky Mode.
This devastatingly funny one act follows a day in the life of Sam Cooper, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Cape Town’s number one restaurant. FULLY COMMITTED is a frenetic tour through a fictional, extremely fashionable De Waterkant eatery where a cast of desperate callers will stop at nothing–coercion, threats, bribes, and histrionics– in their zeal to land a prime reservation, or the right table. Â Amid the barrage, Sam’s got his own needs to contend with: his recently widowed dad wants him home for Christmas, and he’s up for a choice part in Anant Singh’s newest movie. Â While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle international celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can he manage to look out for himself? Â FULLY COMMITTED has 36 wildly divergent characters, all played by a single versatile performer.
Reviews of “Fully Committed” on Broadway:Â “An immensely entertaining, scaldingly funny play about the bad behavior good food can inspire.” – The New York Times.
“. . . hilarious and touching, gallops along at a swift, almost frantic pace.” -Â Time Out New York.
” . . .a sparkling one-man tour de force . . . very funny and very believable . . .
” - The New York Post . “What makes the play so delightful is that all of the frustrating characters in the play get their comeuppance, and we are cheering on the inside at the resolution . . .” - Centerstage, Chicago
FULLY COMMITTED will be part of the Festival of Fame from 12 – 17 March and will be performed in the Space.com Theatre at the Joburg Theatre complex. Daytime performance tickets can be purchased, and the schedule is available on www.festivaloffame.co.za.
A special evening performance has been slotted in for those who can only make it at night. Tuesday 13th March at 7pm – tickets cost R40. Tickets for this performance can be purchased at the door on the night.
Hope to see you there! | <urn:uuid:d253ab73-d60a-4d7b-bcb1-2bbd5f85860a> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.meganshead.co.za/fully-committed/ | 2018-06-18T23:13:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861456.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618222556-20180619002556-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.944309 | 702 | [

production biz output 29.

The country's manufacturers increased production in the first quarter of 2007 by some 8.5 percent compared to the same period last year, while the number of workers and working hours in the industrial sector also increased, the Central Bureau of Statistics reported.
Leading the growth among manufacturers was the country's technology industry, most notably integrated low-tech companies, including those that manufacture rubber, plastic, metal components and mining and quarrying equipment, as CBS reported a production increase of 11.9% among companies in this sector, building off of the 13.9% growth in the last quarter of 2006.
Hi-tech companies, including electronics, aerospace and medical equipment manufacturers posted an 8.1% increase in production to start the year, drastically increasing growth from 2006's last quarter, when the hi-tech sector only showed production growth of 1.9%. Over the whole of last year, production among Israel's hi-tech companies rose 21.3%.
Hi-tech companies, the bureau noted, also posted a 5.4% increase in the number of their employees in 2007's first quarter alone, after raising the total number of workers by 6.5% over all of last year.
Integrated, medium-tech companies also reported strong growth during the first three months of the year, up 3.9%, although not as significant as the last three months of 2006 when the industry posted a 9.7% rise in production. Included among the mid-tech sector are companies that manufacture machines and electric components.
Manufacturers in the country's low-tech sector, including food, drink, textile, clothing, leather-goods and paper manufacturers increased production 4.2% to open 2007, following growth of 5.5% from October to December 2006.
Meanwhile, the Manufacturers Association of Israel said this week it expects investments in the country's industrial companies to increase 10% this year, after rising some 30%, in 2006.
"Last year's pace of investment cannot be matched again," said Nira Shamir, head of the Association's economic department. "Therefore, we are looking at a significant downsizing in the amount of investments made in Israel's industrial companies."
Shamir noted that during the last quarter of 2006, investments in Israeli hi-tech companies rose 52% to NIS 1.6b., while investments in companies that manufacture equipment and machinery increased 32% to NIS 3.6b., after increasing a combined 50% over the second and third quarters of last year.
CBS also reported that revenue from Israel's commerce and services sectors jumped 9.3% from January through March, continuing its rise over the last couple of years.
The commerce sector includes both wholesale and retail distributors, while the service sector is comprised of business and personal consultants, food and events coordination companies and health services.
Revenue among the country's wholesalers increased 7.8% in 2007's first quarter, while retailers saw revenue rise 6.9%, the Bureau said.
Among service sector companies, events coordinators posted growth of 10%, after an increase of 6.6% over the last three months of 2006. | <urn:uuid:8fb4170d-0570-46f0-a272-6928c62eed09> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.jpost.com/Business/Business-News/Manufacturing-output-rises-85-percent-in-1Q | 2018-06-19T00:11:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861456.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618222556-20180619002556-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.960278 | 659 | [

Hazy, hot, and humid conditions are likely from tomorrow through the middle of next week. The a/c's got there break the past five days, but it is back to work for them as they will be working overtime and our electric bills will be going through the roof once again. Power usage will be at a very high level through the stretch.
Tomorrow will be the first day in series of days that are very warm and sticky. It won't be really hot, temperatures will be in the mid 80's. We really start to warm up on Sunday with temperatures in the lower 90's. The humidity will be very high with heat indices in the mid to upper 90's. Monday will be a couple degrees warmer, mainly in the lower 90's again. At this time, there could be some very heavy rain and thunderstorms in northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Some of the high level cloudiness could get involved in the sky here in SNE, so this will limit or cap temperatures in the low to perhaps middle 90's. Otherwise, temperatures could have come close to hitting the century mark on Monday. We have one last real warm day on Tuesday with temperatures getting around 90, or slightly above. If Boston hits 90 degrees all three days, we have got ourselves our second heat wave of the short season so far.
I don't think Boston will do it, but towns just away from the coast, like Bedford, Brockton, and Taunton could easily reach the heat wave status by Tuesday, helping to put this summer in the books as a hot one. Later next week we will cool down a bit, getting back to 80 by Thursday. | <urn:uuid:b06ad608-ba5a-41d6-945c-3262a45fb1d8> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://boswx.blogspot.com/2007/07/hazy-hot-and-humid.html | 2018-06-19T22:02:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863206.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619212507-20180619232507-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.964505 | 339 | [

Upon her arrival at Camp Durand, she feels very much out of place. She begins to have unsettling experiences and unwittingly runs right into Dylan’s arms. Both feel the undeniable attraction. She knows that any relationship with Dylan would be inappropriate, but Dylan is the only person who calms her and makes her feel safe while at the camp. She’s exceeding in her role as a counselor, despite her fears of failure, during the day and living for the nights in Dylan’s arms.
“This is the real you, Alice.”
She blinked. “If this is the real me, then why do I feel like such a fake?” she asked him. His smile was a sexual caress.
“Maybe the real you is a lot bigger than you thought. You just need time, to familiarize yourself with all the parts.” His head dipped. Her breath hitched. “To discover all the mysteries,” he added quietly.
Glimmer is an enthralling, can’t-put-it-down, sexy, suspense. Beth Kery pulls you in while hinting that at a much deeper story in Dylan’s past. Ms. Kery provides rich, complicated characters with an intriguing plot. Fans of Meredith Wild, J. Kenner, and Lauren Smith will enjoy Glimmer.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Because You Are Mine, a scorching new novel about forbidden desire…
After graduating from her M.B.A. program, Alice Reed is surprised when she’s recruited for the management training experience at legendary Camp Durand, owned by Durand Inc.’s young, billionaire CEO, Dylan Fall. The company usually recruits from Ivy League schools, not insignificant colleges like Alice’s.
Alice enthusiastically accepts, but she still wonders why Dylan would choose a girl from the wrong side of the tracks for the prestigious program. But after a passionate encounter one night, she discovers exactly why—Dylan wants her, and Alice can hardly resist his fierce sexual appetites, though she is amazed that she could appeal to an experienced, sophisticated man like Dylan.
As Dylan introduces her to thrilling, erotic territory, Alice discovers a delicious new part of herself. Night after night, she steals away to find ecstasy and escape in Dylan’s arms. But behind her lover’s powerfully magnetic facade, Alice senses darkness, secrets from Dylan’s past lurking in his beautiful, lonely mansion—secrets that are starting to haunt Alice. And the ghosts of the truth might tear Dylan and Alice apart forever . . . | <urn:uuid:cf4b2b1b-35e1-44dc-9767-9a1ddf9f372e> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://harlequinjunkie.com/review-glimmer-by-beth-kery/ | 2018-06-19T21:42:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863206.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619212507-20180619232507-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.955887 | 757 | [

A Long Time Coming...
By Jason Tinling, Lancaster, PA
Archive of Warm Water
I had hit the local river yesterday. It
was high and off color, but I had managed
a couple of smallies, although the best
one threw the hook. So I had the itch. I
needed some smallie action.
I hit the Susquehanna below the Route 30
bridge. I had hoped the river levels would
be down enough to work out to mid-river and
fish some big Deceivers but it was not (safely)
to be. So, I kept on the small hopper pattern
that I had from the previous day, and began
working the flat pool inside the first bridge
piling. I covered the expanse of the pool, but
no luck. I clipped the hopper free and had to
make a tough choice, switch over to the deceiver
and see if I could pull some toads out of the
slower current runs or go with something smaller,
increase my chances of catching *something*.
I decided on an olive marabou bugger that I
had received from a friend. It had a nice,
beefy bead head on it to fight down through
the faster water. Two casts later, something
started rising and, taking flies off the top,
downstream of me. Figures. I waded down a few
yards and placed some casts in the vicinity of
the rising fish. No luck. And then some motion
caught my eye.
A fat carp had moseyed up into the flats of
the pool, not actively mudding, but on the
prowl, probably for one of the numerous crawdads
that had been fleeing my clumsy wading. My
adrenaline level skyrocketed and the first cast
flew wildly behind the fish.
A couple deep breaths, calm it down. Next
cast was a bit ahead of the fish and it
redirected before getting in the vicinity
of the fly. The fish turned to backtrack
and my next cast fell right on its nose.
Lined it! I was sure the fish was a goner
as it moved off at a more rapid pace toward
Either it was really hungry, or I hadn't
spooked it as much as I thought, because
it turned back up into the flat again, the
tip of its tail occasionally breaking the
surface of the water. I measured the cast
and placed a beautiful one, about 4 feet
ahead of the carp, and a foot deeper than
its line. I wanted to get the fly to the
bottom, but the fish was closing fast. I
gave a quick strip of about 6" of line,
and the fly danced up and toward the
If you've never had the experience of watching
a carp take a fly in clearwater a couple of feet
deep...it's the reason guys like me live for this
type of fishing. When you're on the opposite end
of that flyrod, trying to tempt that strike,
moments draw out into hours. You know it's right
when you can tell the fish has sensed the fly.
It's rarely obvious, and often, not even something
you can put into words. It's a slight alteration
in the speed of the fish, a tiny side slip, a
wavering of the fins that slows the carp's
travel ever so much.
And then there's the turn. The head, pivoting,
locking on to the fly. Then, the bend of the
head uncoiling across the length of the scaled
body as the fish swings over on the bait.
The flare of the gills as the carp commits.
That sometimes imperceptible tic, as the fly
line registers all that you've watched unfold.
And then, infinity is shattered in an explosion
of water and the screaming protestations of a
River fish aren't dumb. They know that their
advantage is in the current, and this fish was
no exception. My thoughts were on the fragile
4# tippet that was the weakest link in the
chain tying me to this fish that was streaking
off into the expanse of water before me. I
palmed the reel as much as I dared, but
basically had to give the fish its way, hold
The fish was into the first current run off
the shore, thankfully not too strong, but the
fish wasn't looking for this advantage. It
outpaced the flow of the currrent, the fly
line making a sizzling sound as it ripped through
the water. I looked down at my reel to realize
that the bright yellow of my fly line had long
since disappeared and the clear mono was
evaporating at a frightening pace.
I began wading as rapidly as I could downstream.
I leaned back into the rod, trusting in the flex
of the rod and the long expanse of flyline to protect
the tippet. The transmitted pressure was just
enough, and the fish rolled over not but a few
feet shy of the next current seam, which was
kicking along at a blistering pace. I quickly
tried to gather line as the fish headed back
toward me, trying to keep pressure on as I
collected some of my missing fly line back
on to the reel.
The fish was still running hard, skiving off
at a diagonal to the pressure until it found
itself in shallow water between two rock
outcroppings. The shallow water panicked it,
and it wheeled quickly, turning the water a
creamy coffee color as it ripped off downstream
again. The second run didn't get nearly as far
into my backing as the first, and I grew more
confident that this battle was mine to win or lose.
The fish headed into the same shallows as
before, but I managed to turn it before it
spooked and with as much muscle as I feared
the line could take, brought the fish up into
the flat water pool where I had first hooked
it. A slow lift of the rod above my head guided
the fish in until I could grab the fly. Yes!
A bit of back and forth wrestling about who
exactly had who, and I popped the fly loose.
Perfect placement, top of the upper lip. The
fish slid down into the water at my feet and
I wrapped its tail, turning it into the
current and giving a couple of gentle back and
forth passes to reinvigorate it. With a burst
of energy and a flick of the tail, the fish
was off to the safety of deeper, faster waters.
Fat, thick and heatlhy, it was better than 15,
maybe up to 20. The numbers aren't what matters.
It was the power, the energy, the connection
between man and fish. A battle from getting
the strike to landing the fish. It's ultimately
about losing yourself and your worries in the
flow of the river, and having the opportunity
to burn another memory into the recesses of the
mind, to be pulled out again on some quiet day,
as the kids at your feet clamor for "just one
more story, please."
Oh yeah, got a few smallies too, including a
nice fat 17"er that gave a beautiful 3 foot high
display of piscine aerobatics. ~ Jason | <urn:uuid:351fb2cd-f809-40a7-a01e-1d0367092008> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://flyanglersonline.com/features/warmwater/ww062005.php | 2018-06-21T21:45:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864300.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621211603-20180621231603-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.970412 | 1,587 | [

Camps and travel programs alike teach kids the importance of giving back and expose them to multiculturalism and diversity; they take learning far beyond the classroom. Having a can-do attitude will teach children that they can really make a difference. Here and Now recently published a podcast interviewing Ron Lieber, discussing how and why teaching kids about philanthropy will highlight their natural generosity. Lieber suggests starting to converse with children about giving back as early as 3-5 years old, as this is the age kids become curious about the needs of others.
Summer camps teach many remarkable lessons, whether it be independence, cooperation, or how to overcome challenges. One of the lessons camp taught me, which has resonated through the years, is to always give back. As a camper I was given the opportunity to volunteer at a camp nearby that was a summer home to kids with life-threatening illnesses. Connecting with other people who are experiencing harsh situations in life can not only be extremely eye opening but very rewarding as well. Because I was able to make genuine connections to people and the cause itself, I was able to visualize the impact I was making at such a young age. Putting a smile on the children’s faces was absolutely priceless.
Being able to go to camp is a privilege in itself so naturally, there is a sense of genuine gratitude. Many camps embed ways of giving back into their program. One very common example is big/little sister/brother. Older campers take newer campers under their wings and help them adjust to camp while ensuring he/she has a good time. Other camps have kids donate his/her sneakers and shoes at the end of the summer to various causes serving kids in need. In addition, numerous camps incorporate service days or philanthropic events such as swim-a-thons and trips to local camps. Some camps have even developed international service trips for their oldest campers and CITs.
Like camp, teen travel programs also expose adolescents to philanthropy. Service programs, especially those that allow kids to travel and give back to a greater cause, can provide meaning to an adolescent’s summer. Not only does the trip provide a sense of social and civic responsibility, but it also exposes teens to different types of service – helping them find a cause that may resonate with them. Teens can participate in programs with a variety of service components, including constructing shelter and food sources, teaching, wildlife & environmental activism, and more. Participating in service programs allows teens to find projects that he/she can feel passionate about This ultimately creates a situation where the teens can become lifelong supporters of the causes they have been exposed to; even building on this new found passion once they return home. In addition to the physical aspect of performing service, there is an undeniable emotional facet as well. Service programs enable students to connect with the population they’re serving; they are able to build new, special, relationships they would not have otherwise, and be exposed to an aspect of humanity that they may have been sheltered from in the past.
Participating in philanthropic events can help children & teens develop life tools such as problem solving, leadership, and communication. Volunteering also promotes self-esteem and personal growth. Camp and service programs are a great way to jump-start a love for service, and to teach kids & teens the value of giving back. | <urn:uuid:09e843f6-6af6-4dfc-b4dc-9195feb427c4> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.everythingsummer.com/blog/giving-back-how-camps-teen-programs-teach-kids-abo | 2018-06-21T21:22:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864300.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621211603-20180621231603-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.968843 | 692 | [

A Motion submitted to Cornwall Council on Second Homes
Previous blogs on the subject of second homes and holiday lets have been on the numbers of each type. For some areas the numbers are quite staggering. I firmly believe it all comes down to a balance between the different types of dwelling in an area. However, it is hard to find that balance when there is not way to control certain types of housing, like second homes.
I think it is about time some sort of legislation is brought into use. Sadly, it needs Parliament to do this, and so far, they have done little, if anything to bring in legislation to control certain housing types. So instead of waiting, I have decided to act and at least get something started that will bring in some sort of legislation.
I have submitted a Motion with the support of two other Independent Councillor, Julian Germans and Graham Walker and two Councillors from MK, Andrew Long and Dick Cole. I hope this Motion will be supported by the majority of Councillors from all political parties on the 26th February.
The Motion is as follows:
“ 1) This Council believes, in principle, that the law should be changed to ensure that those dwellings which are not main residences, commonly known as second homes, are clearly and separately identified as a planning class and that any person wishing to change their main residence to eg a holiday let or second home be required to apply for planning consent.
2) A letter signed on behalf of the Council by all the Group Leaders be sent to the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and the six Members of Parliament for Cornwall asking that the legislative means of achieving the principle set out in paragraph 1 of this resolution be urgently explored and pursued.”
Furthermore, as part of putting in the Motion, I enlisted the help of a Planning Consultant, Paul Bateman, who through his work talking to others in his line believes there is a need for legislative change. His expertise in what legislation needs to be introduced has been really helpful.
The legislation changes could be:
1) Introduce a Section 55 [3A] to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended, that states “For the avoidance of doubt the change in use of a dwelling in use as a sole or main residence to a dwelling not in use as a sole or main residence involves a material change in use of that dwelling.
2) Provide an amendment to the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987, as amended, to:
- a) Amend Class C3 to remove the words “whether or not in use a sole or main residence” and replace it with “in use as a sole or main residence”.
- b) Establish a new classification (“C5”) for dwellings not in use as a sole or main residence.
3) Provide an amendment to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995, as amended, to:
- a) Allow the permitted change from Class C5 to C3, unless planning conditions otherwise restrict the C5 use as a sole or main residence.
4) Introduce a simplified procedure for Certificates of Lawfulness to establish existing C5 uses on an effective date, with a twelve month transitional period for such applications.
Lets hope my fellow Councillors support this motion. It is not about stopping or banning these types of dwelling, but bringing in some controls before it is too late for our communities. | <urn:uuid:c75c01e3-9702-4e5a-bf4b-bd7545aa33ea> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.cllrandrewwallis.co.uk/a-motion-submitted-to-cornwall-council-on-second-homes/ | 2018-06-22T22:20:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864822.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622220911-20180623000911-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.957742 | 726 | [

19 years without a league title. In 19th place in the league. This was Manchester United in 1986. Today, they are known for their 19 league titles, more than any other club in England’s history.
On 6th November 2011, Sir Alex Ferguson completes 25 years as manager of Manchester United. A landmark no one thought possible when he came to the club in 1986, attempting to awaken a sleeping giant. The glory days of Sir Matt Busby were a distant memory, and they had gotten used to being in the shadow of Liverpool, who were collecting not only league titles but also European Cups. Legend has it that one of Fergie’s first statements upon taking over as manager was that he would “knock Liverpool off their <expletive_deleted> perch”.
Believe it or not, it took him 4 years to deliver success. An eternity in the modern game. Who can imagine a manager at a big club getting so much time today? Calls for Fergie’s head reached a crescendo in 1990, but chairman Martin Edwards and director Sir Bobby Charlton stuck to their guns and kept him. It’s often said that an FA Cup 3rd round match with Nottingham Forest on Jan 7th 1990 was the decisive match of Fergie’s life. Had they lost, the axe would have fallen within a matter of days. As destiny would have it, Mark Robins won the game for United. Not only did United get to the next round, they won the FA Cup that year, beating Crystal Palace in a replayed final. Fergie got breathing space. And got even more of it by winning the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup and the 1992 League Cup.
What started the revival was his quiet transformation of the club’s background. Drinking culture went out, stars like Paul McGrath were dumped, youngsters like Lee Martin and Mark Robins were brought in, and a discipline unseen at the club earlier was instilled. Shrewd signings like Gary Pallister and Brian McClair were made. The youth setup of the club received a total makeover, whose results would be seen in the coming years. Stars like Ryan Giggs and Peter Schmeichel were blossoming fantastically under the watchful eye of the gaffer.
In 1992, it looked like Fergie would lead the club to its first league title since 1967 under Busby. But with pressure proving too much, United choked to let Leeds steal the title from under their noses. A workmanlike Manchester United couldn’t cross the finishing line because they didn’t have enough magic in the side. This was the time Fergie took his most extraordinary gamble and brought in a player who was nothing but trouble wherever he went. A player who had punched a teammate, fought with another, thrown a ball at a referee, and called every one of his country’s football federation an idiot. His name was Eric Cantona.
A manager who was a traditionalist in every other way brought in a combustible genius who transformed the club. Unsurprisingly, United won their first league title in 26 years in 1993. Extraordinary moments like Steve Bruce’s two headers against Sheffield Wednesday and Fergie’s golf trip when a caddy said Aston Villa had lost to Oldham to give United the title meant that no fan would ever forget this campaign.
Fergie followed up his first title with another in 1994, coupled with the FA Cup. When Cantona launched himself into a fan at Selhurst Park and received an 8th month ban, that resulted in United winning nothing in 1995. Blackburn Rovers, then the richest club in England, had bought their way to the title and were posing a serious challenge to United.
This is when Fergie again showed his managerial genius. He resisted his initial instinct to dump Cantona after his atrocious act, and in fact flew to France to convince him not to quit football. What’s more, he dumped the very established Mark Hughes, Paul Ince and Andrei Kanchelskis, and replaced them with the unproven Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and David Beckham. Pundit Alan Hansen famously said “You’ll win nothing with kids” when United lost the opening game of the 1995-96 season to Aston Villa. But at the end of the season, the club had won the Premier League title back from Blackburn, and added the FA Cup too. The extraordinary manner in which United hunted down Newcastle’s 16-point lead and the way Fergie made Kevin Keegan crack into his “I would love it if we beat them” rant became the stuff of legend. Cantona returned from his 8-month ban in October and proved the magician who inspired the Double, with the only goals in 6 crucial 1-0 wins, including the title decider at Newcastle and the FA Cup final against Liverpool.
One more title in the bag in 1997, and Cantona shocked everyone by announcing his retirement at the age of 31. But with the youngsters of 1995 maturing into excellent players, there was still enough talent at the club to continue winning things.
But this was the moment Fergie received an unexpected challenge. Another sleeping giant, Arsenal, were stirring after the coming of the crafty Arsene Wenger. A manager who would revolutionize the very philosophy of the club. In his first full season of 1997-98, Wenger prised the Premier League title from Manchester United and won the FA Cup too.
Just when we wondered if Fergie’s best years were behind him, he responded with his greatest season ever. Nobody will ever forget the Treble winning season of 1998-99, when an extraordinary team including Schmeichel, Stam, Giggs, Beckham, Cole, Yorke, Sheringham and Solskjaer won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the club’s first Champions League since 1968. Extraordinary days like the two 3-3 draws with Barcelona, a stunning comeback against Liverpool in the FA Cup, the greatest FA Cup game of all time in the semifinal against Arsenal, and the miraculous Champions League final when two goals in stoppage time defeated Bayern Munich meant that Fergie had entered the gates of footballing immortality. Shortly after the incredible Treble, Fergie had 3 more letters added to his name. Sir.
Having reached the very top, the only way was down. Such were the high standards United had set themselves, that winning only the Premier League in 2000 and 2001 was seen as a come-down. They were struggling to replace Peter Schmeichel. A barren season in 2002 was proof that recent experiments with Paul Scholes as a striker and Laurent Blanc replacing Jaap Stam had failed. After an almost unexpected title win in 2003, the club went 4 years without the league title. The Roman Abramovich revolution at Chelsea made them briefly more successful than United, when Jose Mourinho led them to back-to-back titles in 2005 and 2006.
But having seen off the Wenger challenge, the Abramovich-Mourinho challenge was not insurmountable. In 2006-07, Fergie did it again by dumping star players like Roy Keane and Ruud Van Nistelrooy, and winning the title with a new side that included Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Carrick and Louis Saha.
But he had one more itch to scratch. After the unforgettable events of 1999, United had underachieved in Europe. The tactical nous of Ottmar Hitzfeld’s Bayern Munich, the obdurateness of Bayer Leverkusen and the surprise package of Mourinho’s Porto had all conspired to keep United away from the Champions League title for several years. But that changed in 2008, when a new-look Manchester United beat Chelsea to win the Champions League in Moscow. A team brimming with wizardry in the form of Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez had too much class for all other teams on the continent. Fergie had won his 2nd Champions League, proving that 1999 was no fluke.
He wasn’t done. He had vowed to knock Liverpool off their perch, and did it in style when United equalled Liverpool’s 18 league titles in 2009, and went one better with the 19th league title in 2011. He now has a record no other manager has reached and will reach. 12 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups, 3 League Cups, 2 Champions Leagues, 1 European Cup Winners’ Cup, 2 Intercontinental Cups, and 1 World Club Championship sit on his roll of honour. What an amazing 25 years it has been. And we look forward to more.
His appetite for a challenge knows no bounds. After repelling the challenges of Blackburn, Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea to remain England’s premier footballing force, the latest and greatest challenge is from the blue half of Manchester, where a Sheikh-up has seen the city’s other club emerge as the world’s richest, and a genuine contender for the Premier League title. In Europe, United has twice fallen way short of Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona, currently one of the greatest sides the world has ever seen. Barcelona beat United in the 2009 Champions League final and repeated the same feat in 2011. Winning the Champions League a third time ahead of the Catalans and keeping the Manchester City challenge at bay would make Fergie the greatest manager who ever lived. And you wouldn’t put it past him. | <urn:uuid:82126576-c4d7-4815-9fc4-03510208f569> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://vasanthseshadri.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/25-years-of-sir-alex-ferguson/ | 2018-06-22T22:17:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864822.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622220911-20180623000911-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.972482 | 1,976 | [

Much like Apple, Amazon is known for its ecosystem via which the company tries to contain the users within its universe. Everything they build is connected to their existing products and can easily be linked to any of the future products company plans. Whether it is the retail store, Amazon Prime, or their cloud platform, Amazon has ensured that it acts as a one-stop shop to teh netizens. While being a one-stop shop for entertainment related services as well as a plethora of other products ensures longer retention of users, which is directly proportional to the dough an Internet-based company generates, it also provides necessary ‘user trends’ to Amazon based on which the company launches new services and integrates them.
In a yet another move to integrate its services, Amazon has now made Cloud Drive available on its Instant Video app for PlayStation, LG and Samsung products.
If you use Cloud Drive, you can access your personal videos and pictures via the Instant Video app from your PlayStations, and some LG and Samsung Smart TVs. The service is only available for the users of the United States, the UK and Deutschland.
“We know our customers move from device to device throughout the day and crave choice in how they view entertainment and personal content,” said Michael Paull, Vice President of Digital Video for Amazon. “We expanded the Amazon Instant Video app to include Amazon Cloud Drive to make it easy for our customers to access their personal memories right alongside their favorite movies and TV shows in Prime Instant Video. We are excited to have Cloud Drive integrated with the Amazon Instant Video app on PlayStation, LG and Samsung, and are looking forward to delivering this feature to even more devices in the future.”
According to Amazon’s press release, existing Amazon Cloud Drive account customers who use the Amazon Instant Video app can simply navigate to the photos area within the app to connect with Cloud Drive. New customers can download the Amazon Instant Video app and create an Amazon account during the sign-in process.
No doubt this integration will allow users to access their media pretty fast, but if not managed properly, we could see another debacle like the iCloud.
There is no indication how the company plans on keeping the privacy of its Cloud Drive users private if their media will be available on Instant Video. Furthermore, this integration provides a not-so-small window of opportunity for ‘the brethren’ to see what media files Cloud Drive users store on Amazon’s servers. | <urn:uuid:5af135e4-5a3f-4fdd-a274-08044399e798> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://veenga.wordpress.com/2014/10/16/amazon-cloud-drive-comes-to-amazon-instant-video-app-users-can-now-access-their-media-from-the-app/ | 2018-06-22T22:42:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864822.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622220911-20180623000911-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.933808 | 503 | [

Minibus Van Insurance
Drive A Minibus For Hire or Reward? Relax We Have You Covered!
Is your minibus used by a charity, club, group or school? Unless it is used for purely private purposes, a minibus falls under the classification of vans and therefore requires specialized van insurance. Don’t worry though, because here at One Sure Insurance we work hard to bring the most competitive hassle-free van insurance so you can concentrate on your trade without any distractions.
We understand just how difficult it can be finding cheap and affordable minibus insurance quotes. In fact, just figuring out whether your minibus qualifies for van insurance or not can in itself be a daunting task. Let us make this easier for you – “If you run your minibus on hire or for rewards then you need a van insurance”.
Of course, there are other criteria too that you need to be aware of. For instance, the number of seats in the vehicle and its classification as per Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
How To Find Out If Your Vehicle Is A Minibus
To start with, all manufacturers are required to provide some form of categorization for their vehicles before they even make it to the market. Based on this classification, underwriters then make up their own guidelines on how to treat the exact vehicles in question.
If you own a regular saloon, hatchback or an estate then you need not worry and you are in the wrong section. Head down over to One Sure Car Insurance section. By the way, such vehicles are classified as M1 vehicles or in other words all cars are M1 category passenger carriers.
Minivans and MPVs – We Cover It All
This is where most of the confusion happens. Depending on the classification of the manufacturer, it can either be a family vehicle or a commercial vehicle. If the manufacturer decides that the vehicle is for commuting, pleasure, domestic or even social use – never to be used for commercial or business purposes – it falls under the car classification and should be insured as such. However, if it is a 4x4 jeep or a double-cab or even a pick-up then the classification becomes van – regardless of the interiors, intended use or otherwise. Basically, all dual purpose vehicles must be covered under van insurance.
In simple terms, it is the key traits that determine the categorization of the vehicle. Easy way to do the distinction though is to simply look at the features. Does it come with sprung seats, carpets, windows and so on. However, do keep in mind that any vehicle that is based on a van derivate is deemed as a van itself and thus needs van insurance.
In fact, if you look at your V5 log book, under the vehicle category on line J it clearly states your vehicle’s classification. M1 for cars, M2 for minibus and thus minibus insurance and finally N1 or N2 for vans.
Nine People or More
Finally, if your vehicle can sit more than nine persons at once but no more than 16 then it is deemed as a minibus and you need our specialized van insurance policy. Even family vehicles that can sit more than nine need such kind of insurance because the liability is much higher if any incident did occur on the road. By the way, if your vehicle can accommodate more than 16 persons or is a trailer then it falls squarely under the coach segment.
Do You Need Our Specialized Van Insurance for Minibus?
To summarize, if your vehicle is not classified as M1, sits more than nine persons at once including the driver or used for commercial purpose such as rentals and for your hire business then you need our specialized van insurance for minibus. | <urn:uuid:0e4ef6b8-a02d-4cec-8f67-1ddea0409e1e> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.onesureinsurance.co.uk/van-insurance/minibus | 2018-06-23T21:34:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865250.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623210406-20180623230406-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.932736 | 769 | [

Some say worry is the work of motherhood. It begins the moment the stick shows two pink lines—Am I ready for this? Is everything ok? Will my baby be healthy? Is it a boy? A girl?
Will I be a good mother?
That’s the question that underlies all the others. If the baby isn’t healthy, we mothers immediately wonder if it’s our fault. What did I eat or not eat during the pregnancy? What supplement did I miss? Was it the bike ride … the boat ride … the vacation … the one glass of wine before I knew I was pregnant? After the baby is born, every angst our child suffers calls into question our mothering skills.
It’s called Mother Guilt.
For some women, after deciding not to breastfeed, repetitive information about the benefits of breastfeeding may tap her Mother Guilt defenses. After all, each time we (health care providers) are telling how good breastfeeding is, we’re telling the non-breastfeeding mother how much she is depriving her baby of those very benefits.
So what do we do to assuage the guilt?
Health care providers:
- Don’t water down the message! Doing so is a disservice to the majority who want to breastfeed.
- Ask women what information helped make their decision not to breastfeed.
- Actively listen, offering information and support.
- Remember, only YOU are equipped to make the best decision for you and your family.
- Breastfeeding is only one of many healthy choices parents make for the well-being of their children. Once you’ve made your informed decision, get on with the million other things you can do to have a healthy, well-adjusted child!
- Good parenting doesn’t begin and end with a feeding choice. It begins with love.
“Of all things love is the most potent.”—Maria Montessori
“Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.” –Marcelene Cox | <urn:uuid:dd72c464-e335-4ea6-846d-a25074398d32> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://blogtobabyfriendly.wordpress.com/2013/09/12/guilt-part-ii/ | 2018-06-17T23:58:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267859904.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20180617232711-20180618012711-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.935239 | 456 | [

We are : SEO Company India providing Solution for SEO outsourcing / offshore SEO partner / SEO Expert for Search engine Optimization for top ranking in Google / Yahoo / MSN from India.
WHAT IS SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)
What is SEO stuff: If you are trying to understand SEO, it can be put in simple plain words that as if you search for any particular Keyword or phrase through the Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Lycos etc., you are returned with many many results, showing thousands of web sites or web pages.
SEO Example : Now For example if you search for “Quit Smoking” in Google you are returned with a search result of about 2,380,000 web pages :[View image below]
Let us assume for example that you are some manufacturer of “Quit Smoking” medicine, and if you get your web site shown on either 25th or 110th page of the search result, there are 95% likely chances that no one would even bother to view or even come to know about your Web Site and your product.
It is therefore very essential for any Business Group or Company that their Web Site “Ranks” on the very first or second page at least so that their products are actually seen by the Internet users who are searching for them through Search Engines.
As approximate 7 Million Web Pages are added to the net every day, to the existing 5 Billion Web pages already there, it is becoming increasingly difficult to show up on the 1st few pages of the Search Engines. It is seen that around 80% of the users will abandon their query if the first three (3) pages of results do not yield an answer to their question. Moreover the user thinks that the Web Sites appearing on the first few pages of the Search Engine are the industry leaders in that product segment.
Important SEO Tips : So it is most important for any Business organization to show up on the first few pages of the search engine results on Google or Yahoo or any other search engine in their respective product category or product related Keywords used on the net, no matter if they sell Baby food, Books, Machine Tools, Computer Spares. Cameras, New Cars, Medicines or anything for the matter ..
We hope now you understand how important it is to rank within the first (3) pages of the search results for your product range.
HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR WEB SITE FOR BEST RANKING
Web Site Ranking as a matter of fact is a very refined Technique which is only done by professionals who have in depth understanding of the Search Engine mechanism and this requires a lot of patience and hard work to achieve desired results, which only professional persons like us can give you.
Optimizing your site for higher placement on search engines can be like chasing windmills. Hours can be spent making adjustments with no immediate feedback or sense of progress. We at TrustMeher, have created a six step process to analyze your site and make the necessary adjustments to improve search engine optimization.
So We Provide You :
INITIAL SEO CONSULTATION AND ANALYSIS
Our first step is to discuss your sites purpose and intended audience. We will look over your existing site by hand and also use automated scripts to analyze keyword frequency and placement, as well as link structure and external site relationships.
WEBSITE PERFORMANCE TESTING
After consultation we perform tests on over 10 search engines to examine your current placement to reveal weaknesses and opportunities. We can also tell if there are inherent problems with your site or server that might deter search engines from reviewing and adding your site to their index.
WEBSITE COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
If your goal is to increase traffic to your site by improving your site’s search engine placement, then it’s crucial to examine your competition; after all, those are the sites that you will need to beat in order to gain higher relevancy on the search engine results list.
DETERMINING WEBSITE CONTENT CHANGES AND DEPLOYMENT
Perhaps the single most important step in increasing traffic to your site is to make the content on your site a desirable and relevant destination, both for the search engine spider and for your customers. We’ll make recommendations based on your business and customer base. At the same time, we will work with you to determine the precise set of keywords and their placement that will lead to better search engine performance. We believe that it is the correct placement and usage of optimal keywords that make the difference in a site’s performance.
SEARCH ENGINE REGISTRATION
Often looked to as the answer to search engine placement problems are those services that promise rapid results for registering your site with multiple engines for a low fixed fee. This is the last and easily the least important step in improving your site’s performance with search engines. In many cases with the right site placement and usage of content you will notice a dramatic improvement without registration at all. Still, we do see a benefit in registering your site because it can often encourage search engines to spider your site more often to find content changes, allowing you to continually adjust and improve the correct usage of relevant content. We will take care of this step for you.
SEO REVIEWS !
As mentioned earlier, search engine optimization is not an overnight process. Depending on your site’s current performance, search engine ranking changes can take anywhere from a week to several months. We are dedicated to improving your site’s placement and will work with you to make additional suggestions and changes to your content and structure.

Testimonials for Arun Jain
I am hooked on Arun's massages. I love the flow and deep relaxation that results during his sessions. He puts me on "cloud nine." Truly a great stress buster.
I have been receiving expert massage therapy from Arun on a regular basis for over seven years. I originally visited Arun to help ease symptoms of stress, and the results have been very effective. He also helps me with various injuries which I seem to acquire as a runner. Overall, he has helped me stay fit and less stressed. What's better than that?
Arun's work is both healing and magical. He has cared for my body for several years and has, among other things, brought flexibility back to a long-injured ankle. He has relieved me of chronic pain and soreness and I am grateful. Arun's magic comes not only in his work, but also in showing me how everything is connected, from the nose to the toes.
Regular massages with Arun Jain have helped me in every way. My vertigo is gone. I am more relaxed and my muscles ache less. Arun is a gifted massage therapist--a true healer.
My job is very hectic...an hour of regular massage with Arun has helped me to de-stress and feel better fast. This is my midweek getaway and I recommend it highly to everyone | <urn:uuid:9b11b372-7571-46ad-8439-1a725de47688> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://integrativebodytherapies.com/about/arun-jain | 2018-06-21T00:14:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621001211-20180621021211-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.963702 | 404 | [

Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer, best known for his evocative and beautifully narrated ghost stories.
Expiation is a real gem of a ghost story. Two old friends rent a lonely house in an idyllic but remote part of Cornwall. But within a short time of their arrival, they become aware of a mystery about the house.
Why does the vicar behave so oddly when they enquire about a recent grave with the same family name as the owner of the house they have rented? Why does the housekeeper insist on the narrator's changing rooms suddenly? Why does the telephone keep ringing...even though it was disconnected more than a year ago? | <urn:uuid:31395a66-7520-4c95-b001-461b07d3ed85> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/expiation/248354 | 2018-06-21T01:26:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621001211-20180621021211-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.958414 | 175 | [

A new study shows that sleeping after processing new information is most effective. Titled “Memory for Semantically Related and Unrelated Declarative Information: The Benefit of Sleep, the Cost of Wake,” the study was published March 22 in PLOSOne.
Snorting, gasping, or short interruptions in breathing during sleep (sleep apnea) may be linked to depression symptoms, new research shows.
Like the mute button on the TV remote control, our brains filter out unwanted noise so we can focus on what we’re listening to. But when it comes to following our own speech, a new brain study from the University of California, Berkeley, shows that instead of one homogenous mute button, we have a network of volume settings that can selectively silence and amplify the sounds we make and hear.
Just as the familiar sugar in food can be bad for the teeth and waistline, another sugar has been implicated as a health menace and blocking its action may have benefits that include improving long-term memory in older people and treating cancer. Progress toward finding such a blocker for the sugar — with the appropriately malicious-sounding name “oh-glick-nack” — was the topic of a report at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society.
A hidden and never before recognized layer of information in the genetic code has been uncovered by a team of scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) thanks to a technique developed at UCSF called ribosome profiling, which enables the measurement of gene activity inside living cells — including the speed with which proteins are made. | <urn:uuid:16969710-16c0-402a-9839-569776516b3a> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://inside-the-brain.com/2012/03/30/weekly-neuroscience-update-2/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2018-06-22T01:56:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864337.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622010629-20180622030629-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.933672 | 346 | [

As most of you know, we focus on swing trading opportunities both for our own accounts as well as the money we manage. We do this for several reasons and we’ll include a short-term setup at the conclusion of this piece. However, today’s main focus will be on using Commitment of Traders analysis within an existing trend to determine an entry point and time in the current soybean meal market. The lesson, however, works across all commodity markets for which Commitment of Traders data is reported.
There are two issues to look at this week in the soybean futures market. First, I’d like to discuss the seasonal pre-planting characteristics of the soybean market, how they’ve changed over the last ten years and what the current situation looks like. Secondly, I’d like to use this setup to explain the difference between market forecasting and trading program design with a special focus on soybeans and the market’s natural fear based reactions.
This is a critical point in the soybean futures’ seasonality due to the approach of the Brazilian harvest and the spring planting intentions here in the U.S. Brazilian soybean production has been expanding at unprecedented levels, setting new production records in ten out of the last twelve years. A final harvest number near projections would also keep that streak rolling. The Brazilian harvest has just begun but recent rains have already dampened the early harvest projections above 95 million metric tons(mmt) and are currently suggesting a number closer to 91mmt. | <urn:uuid:36d0c2ed-c600-4003-9377-6ade0f1aebc1> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://blog.commodityandderivativeadv.com/tag/brazilian-soybean-harvest/ | 2018-06-23T00:22:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864848.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623000334-20180623020334-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.955186 | 315 | [

Tooth enamel is hardest material in the human body because it's made almost entirely of minerals. As tough as it may be, however, enamel can be broken down by bacteria, forming cavities and eventually destroying the tooth. That's why dentists repair cavities by filling them with a material to replace the lost enamel. The most common such restorative is a material invented in the 19th-century known as amalgam -- the classic silver-black fillings many people have.
Amalgam works well because it is very durable, easy to use, and cheap. The dark fillings are sometimes unsightly, however, and they contain mercury. Because of the mercury, amalgam has raised health and environmental questions -- though according to the American Dental Association, the scientific consensus is that the material poses no health hazards. Dentists would love to have a perfectly white material that mimics natural enamel for repairing cavities in teeth, but for the most part, they still use amalgam. Other filling materials have been developed in recent years, but they often have problems with shrinkage or durability.
Kent Coulter and his colleagues at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio have developed a new proof-of-concept dental restorative material under a program funded by the National Institutes of Health that seeks to replace amalgam with other materials. They will describe the material on November 9 at a meeting of the scientific society AVS in San Jose. The new fillings are made with a plastic-like material containing zirconia nanoplatelets -- tiny crystals made of the same sort of material used to make fake diamonds and gem stones. Unlike their costume jewelry cousins, the zirconia nanoplatelets super hard because of a difference in the particular arrangements of the atoms in the material.
Coulter and his colleagues designed a way to make a roll of this material under vacuum. They envision that this material would be lifted from the roll and packed in a dental cavity and then cured -- using an ultraviolet lamp or some other means -- so that it hardens in place without shrinking. In San Jose, they will describe how they have been developing and testing the performance of these materials in the laboratory. Its use is still several years away from the dentist's chair, however, and the next steps will be first to see if the new material performs as hoped for people with cavities.

Accuracy is the difference between the measured value reported by the field test equipment and the actual value. Accuracy is a function of the characteristics of the field test equipment as well as the transmission characteristics of the cabling.
Minimum performance levels have been identified for level IIe, III, and IV field test equipment. Each accuracy level has it own set of performance requirements. There is no such thing as Level IVe, not even in draft.
Class F is often called Category 7, which is technically incorrect. In ISO/IEC the components or rated in Categories, but the links are rated in Classes.

Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act of 2007
If you are a firefighter under investigation by the California Emergency Medical Services Authority
or a local EMS agency, you have additional procedural protections under the California Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act
. Professional license defense attorneys
at Rose Law are experts in the Firefighters Bill of Rights Act and applying this law to help defend your EMS license from revocation, suspension, surrender, or other discipline.
In 2007, the California Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 220 enacting the Firefighters Procedural Bills of Rights Act (“FBOR”), which guarantees various rights to firefighters. The FBOR is codified at Government Code sections 3250 – 3262 and establishes specific requirements for administrative investigations and discipline of firefighters.
The FBOR is largely modeled on the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act (“POBR”), which is codified at Government Code sections 3300-3312 and was first enacted over 30 years ago in 1976. The Legislative Counsel’s Digest for Assembly Bill 220 speaks to the relatedness between the PBOR and the FBOR by expressly referencing the PBOR in its opening paragraph.
The FBOR establishes, with certain exceptions, a one-year period of limitations within which an employing fire department must complete its investigation of any act, omission, or other allegation of misconduct and notify the firefighter of its proposed disciplinary action. (Gov. Code § 3254(d).) Tolling of the one-year period of limitations established by the FBOR may occur in seven distinct circumstances. These are: (i) a voluntary written waiver by the firefighter tolling the limitations period; (ii) the act, omission, or other allegation of misconduct is also the subject of a criminal investigation or criminal prosecution; (iii) the investigation is a multijurisdictional investigation that requires a reasonable extension for coordination of the agencies involved; (iv) the investigation involves an employee who is incapacitated or otherwise unavailable; (v) the investigation involves a matter in civil litigation where the firefighter is named as a party defendant; (vi) the investigation involves a matter in criminal litigation in which the complainant is a criminal defendant; and (v) the investigation involves an allegation of workers’ compensation fraud on the part of the firefighter. (Gov. Code § 3254(d).)
In addition to the one-year period of limitations, the FBOR prohibits under Government Code section 3258 an employing fire department from requiring or requesting for purposes of job assignment or personnel action disclosure of “any item of [a firefighter’s] property, income, assets, source of income, debts, or personal or domestic expenditures, including those of any member of his or her family or household, unless that information is otherwise required to be furnished under state law or obtained pursuant to court order.”
As well, the FBOR requires under Government Code section 3254.5 that an employing fire department’s administrative appeals procedure for its firefighters conform to portions of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) beginning at Government Code section 11500 et seq.
The rights and protections of the FBOR apply to a firefighter during events and circumstances involving the performance of his or her official duties.
The FBOR makes unlawful at Government Code section 3260, subpart (a), the denial or refusal to any firefighter the rights and protections guaranteed by the FBOR.
The FBOR provides at Government Code section 3260, subdivision (b), “[t]he superior court shall have initial jurisdiction over any proceeding brought by any firefighter against any employing department or licensing or certifying agency for alleged violations of [the FBOR].” Upon a finding by the superior court that a fire department, its employees, agents, or assigns, maliciously violated the FBOR with the intent to injure, the FBOR authorizes at Government code section 3260, subpart (d), imposition of a twenty-five thousand dollar ($25,000) civil penalty for each and every violation and for reasonable attorney’s fees.
Legislative Developments Since the Passage of the Act
On September 30, 2010, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 2331 into law, which amends the Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act to permit appeals procedures that are agreed upon between labor organizations and fire agencies as a part of the collective bargaining process.
Under existing law, appeals procedures for California firefighters must conform to provisions of the California Administrative Procedures Act (APA) beginning at Government Code section 11500. The APA mandates a hearing before a quorum of the governing body of the administrative agency or an administrative law judge (ALJ), specifies certain notice requirements, provides for some prehearing discovery, and specifies many other procedural rules. Many existing grievance arbitration and disciplinary appeals procedures contained in memorandums of understanding and collective bargaining agreements between firefighter union locals or associations and fire departments do not meet these requirements, but are nonetheless considered sufficiently protective of firefighter rights by both labor and management. For example, final and binding private arbitration does not necessarily conform to all requirements of the APA, but is generally viewed as procedurally adequate.
Under AB 2331, beginning January 1, 2011, appeals procedures that are mutually agreed upon as a part of the labor-management negotiations process but do not necessarily conform the APA are still considered legally sufficient under the FBOR.
This legislation amending the firefighter appeals procedure requirements contained in the FBOR was sponsored by the California Professional Firefighters (CPF). | <urn:uuid:fdd50229-3ac1-4be6-a276-eaeb76415127> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.firefightersbillofrights.com/ | 2018-06-24T23:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867304.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624234721-20180625014721-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.928027 | 1,126 | [

Shubhankar Sharma’s whirlwind run from the Asian Tour to becoming the 66th ranked player in the world has earned him a spot in the field at Augusta National next month. Sharma has accepted a special invitation to enter the tournament, which will be his first-ever major.
Via the PGA Tour:
“Golf is a global game, and throughout our history we have extended invitations to deserving international players not otherwise qualified,” Augusta National and Masters chairman Fred Ridley said in a prepared statement. “As his results have proven, Shubhankar Sharma is a remarkable young player, and we look forward to welcoming him to Augusta National in April.”
In his PGA Tour debut last week, Sharma claimed a 54-hole lead at the WGC-Mexico Championship and eventually finished in a tie for ninth.
As recently as last November, Sharma was ranked 521st in the world, but a win at the European Tour’s Joburg Open led to an improbable second victory at the Maybank Championship in Febraruy, where Sharma shot a 62 on Sunday to win by two strokes. From out of nowhere, Sharma now leads the European Tour’s Race to Dubai standings.
In just a few weeks, Sharma will become the fourth player from India to compete at Augusta, joining Jeev Milkha Singh, Arjun Atwal and Anirban Lahiri. | <urn:uuid:f50948c7-c753-47cb-8b8f-a978c7fc4684> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/03/golfs-newest-star-21-year-old-shubhankar-sharma-scores-special-masters-invite | 2018-06-25T00:07:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867304.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624234721-20180625014721-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.961827 | 293 | [

New York — “Walmart cheats, Walmart hates, Walmart discriminates!” and “Bill Simon eschucha — Estamos en la lucha!” shouted a multinational protest of Walmart and restaurant workers outside a retail bosses’ convention where Bill Simon was speaking on Jan. 15. Simon is president and chief executive officer of Walmart U.S., executive vice president of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and director of the board of Darden Restaurants Inc., the world’s largest restaurant company.
While the 1% conspired to expand their profits at the New York City meeting, a “mic check” occurred suddenly inside the Jacob Javits convention center. The Occupy Wall Street Labor Outreach Committee and 99 Pickets began to unfurl an anti-Walmart banner and expose the exploitation and anti-immigrant practices of both Walmart and Darden. Soon kicked out of the hall, the labor activists joined the strong protest outside.
Supporters numbered more than 100 people organized by the Retail Action Project, Restaurant Opportunities Center, UNITE-HERE, Desis Rising Up & Moving, the Department Store union and other organizations fighting for workers and immigrant rights.
Demands were especially focused on how these rich are making super-profits by hiring part-time workers who don’t receive enough hours to make a living and who are without benefits of any kind. These workers’ schedules are also irregular, without even a set time to be at work from week to week, which makes it hard for parents to arrange child care and transportation. The protesters also chanted demands for full-time jobs and sick time.
That most of the Walmart and restaurant workers are people of color is further reason to unite in their support. The fight of working-class, low-wage workers will not end until there are no more low-wage jobs! | <urn:uuid:98c6378c-aecf-4ce2-9cac-aa2eb6c64172> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.workers.org/2013/01/27/low-wage-workers-expose-1-bosses/ | 2018-06-25T00:24:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867304.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624234721-20180625014721-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.940877 | 381 | [

Babies are born with approximately 300 bones. These bones eventually fuse and grow together to create the 206 bones found in the adult body. Some of a baby's bones are made of soft, flexible cartilage, allowing them to be less prone to bone breaks when learning how to roll over, crawl and walk. This explains the common saying that babies are made of rubber.

Objectives: We aimed at exploring house officers’ learning experiences with end-of-life care in nursing homes, with a special focus on dialogues about death.
Background: In Norway, 48% of deaths take place in nursing homes. Health care professionals often find dialogues about death difficult. Newly qualified medical doctors serve as house officers in nursing homes during internship. We need knowledge about how nursing homes can become useful sites for learning about end-of-life care.
Results: Analysis after two focus group interviews revealed two preliminary themes. The house officers in nursing homes expressed both powerlessness and coping when handling end-of-life care and dialogues about death. The learning community in nursing homes contributed to the development of professional identity.
Material/Methods: House officers in nursing homes (n=X) participated in three focus group interviews. The participants were invited to share experiences with end-of-life care in nursing homes, to tell about preparatory dialogues with patients and relatives, and how their experiences made an impact on their thoughts about death and their role as a doctor. The interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed with systematic text condensation. We used Lave & Wenger’s theory about situated learning to support our interpretations, focusing how the newly qualified doctors experienced end-of-life care through participation in the nursing home’s community of practice.
Conclusion: The results from all three focus group interviews and our conclusions will be presented at the Nordic Congress 2015.
Points for discussion:
- Transferability to other medical contexts and other countries.
- Implications of the results for nursing homes as learning facilities for medical doctors. | <urn:uuid:3bbcabfe-1081-4838-ab83-ac25aefe4dd1> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://nordicgp2015.se/abstracts/265-P.html | 2018-06-18T01:39:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267859923.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618012148-20180618032148-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.929612 | 521 | [

A streaker may have stripped off in front of president
Barack Obama in an attempt to claim a $1million prize (£630,000) being offered for the stunt.
Juan Rodriguez daubed the address of a website across his torso before streaking in front of thousands in Philadelphia.
But it has now emerged the 24-year-old, who was arrested on Sunday, was trying to claim a prize offered by British-educated billionaire Alki David.
Dabid was offering cash to the first person who did the stunt, via his website Battlecam.com. David has given away over £100,000 to people who have performed various stunts for his site.
‘This is the first time anybody has attempted it,’ said Mr David.
However, it was unclear if Rodriguez met the requirements to win the money, which include shouting the name of the website six times, having the website address written across their chest, and being within earshot and sight of Obama.
‘I’m still waiting to get conclusive proof he did it,’ Mr David added. | <urn:uuid:e625879a-2828-4ae3-a434-686553d815b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://metro.co.uk/2010/10/12/obama-streaker-juan-rodriguezs-1million-goal-exposed-543291/ | 2018-06-18T02:03:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267859923.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618012148-20180618032148-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.98917 | 229 | [

This List Of Attacks Against Conservatives Is Mind Blowing
Daily Caller ^ | 6/16/17 | Dave Brooks and Benjamin Decatur
Posted on 6/16/2017, 7:08:29 AM by markomalley
A wave of liberal rage has marked the last 11 months since the rise and subsequent election of President Donald Trump.
Antifa protestors clad in black masks shut down college campuses, destroy property and indiscriminately attack those they disagree with, whether women or the elderly. Meanwhile, CNN fires Kathy Griffin for taking photos with a bloody replica of the president’s decapitated head.
Amid this backdrop, The Huffington Post publishes an article calling for the execution of Trump and “everyone assisting his agenda.”
Then, shots ring out as a man gorged on media hysteria attempts to slaughter Republican congressmen while they practice for a charity baseball game.
The aggression since Trump’s nomination is difficult to enumerate, but nevertheless, The Daily Caller News Foundation poured over media reports to compile a close but non-exhaustive list of violent acts against conservatives in months following the Republican National Convention.
In creating the list, TheDCNF reviewed numerous articles detailing attacks against conservatives and Trump supporters. Only incidences of violence and threats of violence where the perpetrators were clear are included in the report, excluded are events where the instigator was difficult to discern.
Attacks over time:
-A Hillary Clinton supporter lights a flag on fire and attacks a Trump supporter in Pittsburgh.
-Trump supporters sue San Jose after protesters jumped on cars, stole hats, fought and threw eggs at them.

With growing affluence of Indian upper middle and upper class, the growth in demand in the multi-utility vehicle (MUV) or multi-purposes vehicle (MPV) segment has been incredible. According to some raw statistics, the segment has grown at about 18% over the past couple of years. Toyota Kirloskar’s Innova has been the undefeated champion of the segment since ever, all thanks to its size, durability and robustness. However, the under-tapped potential of the segment is luring many other players to compete with Innova. The latest one to be in the foray is Maruti Suzuki India Ltd with its announcement that it will launch a competitor to the Innova by 2017, and has been for the time being named the Maruti Suzuki RX MPV.
The RX has been conceptualized as an eight-seater vehicle with a diesel engine to match 2,400 cc of Innova. Not much is known about the specifications of the MPV at this point of time. However, it will slowly unfold over the next few months as the launch time draws close. Maruti Suzuki has two MPVs in its range now, one is the Eeco and the other the Ertiga and the RX will be positioned above it.
According to the recent market trends, the MPV segment is expected to grow at a pretty fast pace. Hence, the segment is too juicy to ignore. However, Maruti Suzuki’s core competence in the country has been small cars. Currently it sells about half of the total cars sold in the country. So, it will be interesting how the company keeps its forte intact while hoping to grab some pie out of Innova and some other MPV makers’ share.
Do you think that Maruti should enter a more premium segment? It’s past ventures into a higher segment have not been beneficial (think the Grand Vitara and the Kizashi). What do you think Maruti should do to be able to take on the Innova? Let us know in the comments section below. | <urn:uuid:03f6f7f9-445f-4017-b037-73bcc17a3777> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.carblogindia.com/maruti-suzuki-rx-mpv-india-launch-details-photos/ | 2018-06-19T04:51:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861899.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619041206-20180619061206-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.970694 | 425 | [

If I needed a hedge fund boss, I'd have chosen Mark Shooter straight away. I actually think he'd have done a lot of good for Barnet in the role, but his lack of experience of public bodies may have been a complete car crash. In short, it was a huge gamble.
Then there was Richard Cornelius. Whenever I'd spoken to him he was coureous and well mannered. In cabinet meetings he'd shown members of the public respect and on occasion shown he wasn't a yes man. He had run a family business for years. I also learned he'd come to the council on the back of the doomed campaign to save Totteridge library. He seemed like a steady hand and someone who could cope with the pressure. I did wonder if a public endorsement of Cornelius was a good idea. Such praise from someone who the majority of Tories think is a lefty bogeyman could have been very counter productive. But then I thought that the people who hate my guts would all be voting for the other candidates. About half the Tory councillors are quite sensible, so I thought it was worth the effort. Here was my analysis. As it transpired I was spot on with my prediction. The Tories were clearly spooked by the scenario I set out of mayhem that Shooter may unleash. Perhaps it is ironic that the tactic I used to secure the election of Cornelius was so effectively used by the Tories.
Now you may think, I am bigging myself up on this, but after the election, Richard Cornelius thanked me and said that this blog had swung a few undecideds to vote for him.
Councillor Andrew Harper - Continuity (ie more Metpro style scandals and more money down the bog with One Barnet schemes)Sadly Richard didn't take the machette to the consultants or kick most of One Barnet into touch. He is probably a bit less pragmatic and a bit more Thatcherite than I'd realised and he has been persuaded that mass outsourcing is marvellous. Barnet has launched on a program unprecedented in local government and no one knows how this will work out. But that is something which only the future knows.
Councillor Richard Cornelius - The Sensible Party (ie get a grip on the executive and try and salvage the useful bits from One Barnet, whilst taking a machette to the consultant crazy culture that has sprung up)
Councillor Mark Shooter - The slash and burn party (ie have a bonfire of the vanities in Barnet, kick the shit out of the executive, have a sacking frenzy for all the people doing non jobs and hope that at the end of day, injecting a bit of sanity into the council can save a few quid and sort out the huge black hole which Mike Freer built).
Current Betting : Cornelius 11/12 , Shooter 2-1, Harper 3-1
For what it's worth, I think that the Shooter & Cornelius teams are working together to stitch up Harper, because they both recognise the fact that Harper = Disaster. Lets look at the maths. Shooter lost by one last time. That means that as Lynne Hillan is indisposed, it is a dead heat. Brian Coleman has backed Shooter which means Shooter has 19 to 17, if every Hillanite backs Harper. Rams does what Coleman tells him, so that is 20 -16. All Harper can offer is cabinet jobs, but he can't really afford to lose anyone, so the next question is how will Cornelius split the vote. I hear that he's likely to get a minimum of six cabinet members and possibly 10 other councillors (6 from Shooter and 4 from Hillan camp). So this means the following :-
Cornelius - 15
Harper - 8
Shooter - 13
The Harperites are likely to swing behind Cornelius as they know that Shooter means the firing squad.
Cornelius - 22
Shooter - 14
What this means is that Harper isn't the second most popular Leadership Candidate so he hasn't got a leg to stand on for retaining the deputy job (hence my view that it's a stitch up). That my friend is the way the cookie will crumble. It is possible that once Harper's mates realise what's going on, even more will defect to Cornelius in the first round and that will be that.
It has emerged that Richard Cornelius has been reelected unopposed to carry on as Tory Leader for another year. As the Tories won the council election last year and swept the board at the general election in Barnet, it is no surprise that the Tories are sticking with a winning team. I've spoken to a few Tory activists and they seem more than happy with Richard and his leadership. I am not surprised. It is also worth noting that Richard is now the Tory who has served the longest term as leader since they won the council back in 2002.
I think the main reason for his success is that he loves the job. Unlike Freer, he didn't see it as a stepping stone to Parliament. Unlike most of the rest of them, he doesn't mind the banter. He told me that unlike Freer he isn't spooked by noisy public galleries and sees it as all part of the fun of local government. He also confided that he thinks Socialist sit ins in the council chamber play very well with his core vote. The results of recent elections seems to back this theory up.
He is also very lucky. When he came to power, the Barnet Tories had some very unattractive councillors. One was convicted for beating up a woman and another for drunk driving. Both of them are gone. Another was caught lying on several occasions and was hated for his role in shutting libraries. He got turfed out, as did the one who parked his car wherever he liked. Although Richard saw a bit of a cull in 2014, it was all dead wood that he was better off without.
Napoleon once said "give me a lucky general". They don't get much better than Richard, who always seems to be in the right place at the right time. | <urn:uuid:77c4cd7c-0b85-46ca-a141-b856e0969267> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://barneteye.blogspot.com/2015/05/no-leadership-challenge-for-barnet-tory.html | 2018-06-20T03:37:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863411.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620031000-20180620051000-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.984667 | 1,252 | [

Wall Mounted Spotlight Bar - Advancements in flat screen tv technologies have progressed so much within the past few years. Due to this there really is no reason about getting a new TV if you are thinking, not to pick yourself out a flatscreen tv. The grade of the photo has become very clear, meaning that it doesn't matter what angle you look in the TV, you need to be in a position to get the entire effect of the TV from a wide variety of angles.
Mounting your television to your own wall is the ideal solution for rooms where you need more space for other items in your area. Flat display televisions are connected to the wall utilizing special tv wall mounts that can be obtained at several stores. In the event you want to make sure your TV is fastened to the wall, provided you installed every-thing properly, mounting your tv is an excellent solution. Most of the wall mounts allow your television to be fixed to your own wall.
However, there are some mo-Re sophisticated wall mounting methods around that allow for much more versatility as it pertains to viewing the TV. You will find swiveling wall mounts (they swivel left and right), tilting wall mounts (which tiltup and down), and articulating mounts (enable one to swivel your TV left and right, as nicely as tilt it up and down).
The last thing you want is to improperly mount your stunning (expensive) new flatscreen television to the wall and risk allowing the television to drop to the ground and most probably break. Make sure that you simply inspect your wall mount carefully just to make certain that every thing seems to have a higher quality feel to it. Ensure which you make sure your wall mount and research different brands is effortless to install by yourself and hopefully to to put together your by an expert. | <urn:uuid:1d442d84-1c60-47c7-ab0e-10b547d529db> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://bottomunion.com/17082-wall-mounted-spotlight-bar/ | 2018-06-20T04:05:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863411.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620031000-20180620051000-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.971968 | 372 | [

This is quite a personal one for me but I feel like I’m ready to talk about it. As you all know, I attend gigs, concerts, and festivals quite frequently in various different venues and locations. Sometimes I even write about them on this blog, but as some of you may be aware, I haven’t written a music blogpost for… months. In fact, I don’t think I will again.
Why Have I Not Written Music-Related Blogposts?
There are so many different reasons for this. Firstly, I haven’t gone to any gigs/concerts for a while now. Secondly, I haven’t really focused too much on music since I started this blog – I feel like fashion has always been the front-runner of this blog and my Instagram. Thirdly, since my decision to take blogging a lot more seriously, I’ve had to find my niche, and that is fashion and style. Music just felt like an after-thought. And fourth and finally, and perhaps most importantly, on the day of gigs/concerts, I decide to just… not attend, and this has sometimes left me content-less.
Why I Sometimes Don’t Go To Gigs
It might seem a little weird to decide to not attend on the day of the gig and trust me, I know. Why would I pay for the ticket and travel only to not go? I wish I had a straight answer. To cut a long story short, when I know I’m about to expose myself to an environment that I’m not familiar with, my mind immediately assumes the worst. For example, in October, I bought tickets and travel to see Jake Bugg at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. Hours before the gig, I decided not to go. I thought to myself, “well, what if I don’t have a good time? What if I don’t enjoy myself? It was only £x, I’m gonna see him again anyway so…” Despite looking forward to seeing him perform live, I managed to talk myself out of it.
This has happened so many times – BST Hyde Park 2016, J Cole, Wild Life 2017, Troye Sivan, Lorde and Khalid – and often, I do end up going, especially if I’m going with friends. I’ve had to convince myself to attend shows in hopes to not disappoint my friends. Who likes a flaky friend anyway, right? However, when I know I’m going on my own, I know that the only person I’m going to disappoint is myself so… I do. It is a struggle that I’m constantly trying to overcome.
Will I Make Music-Related Posts In The Future?
I’ve always been careful with using the terms “anxiety” and “social anxiety” – I have not been professionally diagnosed with either so I will refrain from using them. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that I find myself feeling anxious in certain social situations, which is difficult when you’re a frequent concert-goer. It is especially frustrating when you rely on shows for content. There have been moments during gigs/concerts that my mind shuts down and I’m no longer enjoying myself but I stayed because I needed content for that week. And have you ever tried leaving a concert from front row?! It’s practically impossible.
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve had to find my niche in the blogosphere and for the moment, that’s fashion and style. Perhaps in the future, I will venture out to lifestyle posts and include some music-related topics. For now, all of my focus is on fashion.
I have some concerts already planned for 2018 and I’m pretty excited: Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, and BST Hyde Park 2018 with Bruno Mars and Khalid. As for festivals, I’d love to go to Wild Life and Reading again, and maybe Wireless this year.
I know some of you will understand and others might not, so if you can relate in any way then I’d love to extend this discussion with you. Perhaps we can help each other. Drop me a Direct Message on Instagram or Email me.

981 days left and we could be all the back to the Stalin era. With in one month Russia will be a super power again. I feel we are right about 1963 now. 17.5 trillion in short term debt and losing everywhere Putin can have what ever he wants. 981 days you won’t recognize the world. But we will have health care. EU could always right some more rules or threaten Putin with an army of men wielding baguettes. 981 days maybe Cuba could rise from the dead.

Ovulation Induction, IVF, Prescriptions, Gonadotropin
This study assessed pharmacy performance and satisfaction as reported by patients during ovulation induction therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Patients (n = 1269) receiving gonadotropin prescriptions for intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilisation-embryo transfer in 2007-2008 were prospectively interviewed by nurses and/or completed a structured questionnaire to evaluate pharmacy performance. "Community" (n = 12) and "specialty" (n = 2) pharmacy status (C vs. S) was defined by each pharmacy, and all pharmacies were selected by patients before cycle start. Patient comments about their pharmacy were classified into five types: i) Dispensing error-gonadotropin, ii) Dispensing error-non gonadotropin, iii) Mistake in prescribed medical equipment/supplies, iv) Counselling/communication inaccuracy, and v) Inventory problem or other.
391 pharmacy concerns were reported from 150 fertility patients during the study period. The majority (75.9%) of patients selected a S pharmacy to fill their prescriptions, and this pharmacy type was identified in 2.8% of adverse pharmacy encounters (p < 0.0001). Non-gonadotropin prescriptions filled at C pharmacies accounted for 40.2% of all complaints, followed by problems with prescriptions for supplies (20.2%) and gonadotropins (18.7%) at C pharmacies. Patient conflict involving S pharmacies was limited (n = 11), and related to operating hours and medication delivery logistics.
Fertility patients reported a disproportionate and significantly higher number of adverse pharmacy encounters from C pharmacies compared to S pharmacies. Although no licensing mechanism in Ireland currently recognises special training or certification in any area of pharmacy practice, informal self-designations by pharmacies remain a useful discriminator. Level of familiarity with fertility medicines and availability of inventory are important characteristics to be considered when counselling fertility patients about pharmacy choice. Those who select a C pharmacy should be advised to allow extra time for inventory verification, order confirmation, and additional counselling. Additional study is needed to determine if a minimum volume of fertility-related prescriptions is necessary to assure competence in this particular field of pharmacy practice.

RALEIGH – It is rather entertaining to see the Left in North Carolina engaged in some intra-family squabbling that reveals how awful they really are to anyone who is paying attention. Rep. Duane Hall (D-Wake), the lawmaker accused of coming on to strong to several women and kissing a couple against their will, is coming out swinging against the organization that published the piece, N.C. Policy Watch.
Hall says that the non-profit has broken the law because it coordinated the timing of their ‘hit piece’ with Hall’s political opponents and thereby engaged in the kind of electioneering such organizations are prohibited from.
“Hall has denied the allegations. On Tuesday, he said the Justice Center and Policy Watch must follow their mission statement to work on “issues of concern to low and middle income North Carolinians” and that, by working for a year on the story about him, the group violated federal rules for nonprofits.
The Justice Center is “absolutely prohibited from intervening in a political campaign for or against any candidate for an elective public office,” Hall said in a statement, quoting IRS tax-filing instructions.
He said Policy Watch “must explain their bloggers’ coordination with other political campaigns to time the release of their story for the end of the primary filing. They discussed their yearlong work with my political opponents before publication.”
Hall previously accused N.C. Policy Watch of acting on a personal vendetta because he had dated, and broken up with Megan Glazier, daughter of Leftist N.C. Justice Center executive director Rick Glazier, which publishes the Leftist N.C. Policy Watch. Ms. Glazier also works at N.C. Policy Watch. None of these facts were ever mentioned in the original piece accusing Hall of improprieties.
Unfortunately for Hall, his friends on the Left have all fixed the #Metoo movement firmly in their politicking and thus continue to call for his resignation. “I believe the women…,” said N.C. House minority leader Rep. Darren Jackson (D-Wake).
Hall undoubtedly helped create the kind of trial by public, guilty until proven innocent culture of the Left, and then promptly (allegedly) stole kisses and whispered lewd comments to several women.
A up and coming Leftist lawmaker’s credibility is damaged, seemingly beyond repair, by his own actions. And now he’s questioning the credibility of a purveyor of Leftist political policy that loves to attack conservatives and demean people like Lt. Gov. Dan Forest for their Christian faith. Basically, it’s a win-win.
“Jonathan Jones, director of the NC Open Government Coalition and an expert on the media at Elon University, said he thinks Policy Watch made an ethical mistake by failing to disclose that Glazier dated Hall.
“That opens the door for people to question Policy Watch’s motives and credibility, as Mr. Hall is trying to do now,” Jones said. “News organizations should always err on the side of disclosure when it comes to potential conflicts of interest, whether they are real or perceived.””
That last line is troublesome for basically the entire ‘news’ industry. Here at First in Freedom Daily, we definitely have a conservative, liberty agenda and wear it on our sleeve. Almost all of the mainstream ‘news’ media covering this story, though, pride themselves on objective journalism while undermining that very thing via obvious bias toward the Left.
Still, watching the circular firing squad on the Left is nice for a change, because they are usually so unified on expanding government and taking way your rights. Not sure this was the best way for the Democrats to ‘Break the Majority.’ | <urn:uuid:b20e8346-8a77-4b78-a19a-512a2cbfafcb> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://firstinfreedomdaily.com/left-left-crime-duane-hall-nc-policy-watch-trade-accusations/ | 2018-06-22T03:32:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864343.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622030142-20180622050142-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.969041 | 791 | [

Ancient Romans had a penchant for doling out punishments in rather theatrical fashion, with one pertinent example relating to the noxii, the criminals who were mainly accused of robbery, murder and rape. At times, the noxii were simply used as living props who were unarmored (or sometimes dressed in ‘show’ armor), and then declared as opponents against the adept postulati, veteran gladiators armed with maces. Consequently, these experienced gladiators made a gory demonstration of slowly dispatching the straggling criminals by spilling their blood on the sands of the arena. But this nigh sadistic ‘fusion’ of theatricality and carnage was even taken to bizarre levels on few occasions – as could be comprehended from poena cullei, a death penalty reserved for criminals who had committed the act of patricide (killing ones father) or parricide (which refers to killing of parents or close kin).
Poena cullei, roughly translating to ‘penalty of the sack’ in Latin, entailed the guilty party to be sewn up in a leather sack or bag, along with other live animals, and then thrown into the river. Now historically, the first punishments reserved for crimes like parricidium (the blanket Latin term that covered the murdering a parent or close relative), documented from circa 100 BC, probably only involved the criminal to be shoved into a sack, while his feet were weighed down by wooden clogs, and then thrown into the water. However by the early phase of the Roman Empire, the practice of including live animals into the grotesque scope was initiated. One of the famous examples hark back to the time of Emperor Hadrian (circa 2nd century AD), when the accused was tied up in a sack with an assortment of animals, including a rooster, a dog, a monkey and a viper.
Plain weird or deeply symbolic?
Now such ancient practices naturally bring up the question – why were the Romans bent on devising strange punishments? Well a part of the answer has to do with the act of parricidium and how it was perceived in the contemporary Roman world. To that end, the Romans considered the act of spilling the blood of someone of who gave life to be gravely deplorable, so much so that it was associated with the very derailment of social order. On the point, they viewed parricidium as a form of social corruption that could even taint the blood of wild animals who feasted upon the executed corpse of such a criminal. This intense notion was perfectly captured by one of the speeches made by Marcus Tullius Cicero, often considered as one of the greatest Roman orators and prose stylists of his time, who was also a philosopher, politician, lawyer and political theorist. The entire speech was ironically prepared to defend his client Sextus Roscius accused of parricide, circa 80 BC, and one of its passages is quoted here –
They [previous Roman generations] therefore stipulated that parricides should be sewn up in a sack while still alive and thrown into a river. What remarkable wisdom they showed, gentlemen! Do they not seem to have cut the parricide off and separated him from the whole realm of nature, depriving him at a stroke of sky, sun, water and earth – and thus ensuring that he who had killed the man who gave him life should himself be denied the elements from which, it is said, all life derives? They did not want his body to be exposed to wild animals, in case the animals should turn more savage after coming into contact with such a monstrosity. Nor did they want to throw him naked into a river, for fear that his body, carried down to the sea, might pollute that very element by which all other defilements are thought to be purified. In short, there is nothing so cheap, or so commonly available that they allowed parricides to share in it. For what is so free as air to the living, earth to the dead, the sea to those tossed by the waves, or the land to those cast to the shores? Yet these men live, while they can, without being able to draw breath from the open air; they die without earth touching their bones; they are tossed by the waves without ever being cleansed; and in the end they are cast ashore without being granted, even on the rocks, a resting-place in death.
The ritual side of affairs –
As can be comprehended from such an elaborate idea behind the punishment of poena cullei, the Romans perceived the sin of parricide with symbolic elements. Consequently, the nature of punishment also took a ritualistic route. To that end, according to 19th-century historian Theodor Mommsen’s interpretations (based on compilations of several sources), the person was first whipped with virgis sanguinis (a vague term which could have meant ‘red-colored rods’) and then his head was covered in a wolf-skin bag. Wooden clogs were then placed on his legs and the guilty was shoved inside the namesake cullei (possibly a sack made of ox-leather), along with other live critters. The sack was then sealed and the criminal was finally transported on a cart driven by black oxen to the nearest stream or even the sea.
Now in allusion to the practicality of such an outlandish scope, many later historians have talked about how the ‘ritual’ was probably not followed to the letter of the whimsical law. In that regard, the captors might have just opted for a simple leather bag instead of a wolf-skin or used a common wine sack instead of special ox-leather sacks. There are also confusions regarding the term virgis sanguinis, with hypotheses ranging from the person being whipped until he bled to the use of red-painted shrubs that were believed to purify his soul (instead of bleeding him). Furthermore, there may have been cases where the poena cullei was initiated only when the said person confessed his crime or was caught in the act (as opposed to meticulous legal proceedings).
The occurrence of poena cullei –
It should be noted that much like fustuarium (which required a rebellious soldier to be stoned or clubbed to death by his comrades), the punishment of poena cullei was reserved only for rare occasions. Roman historian Suetonius talked about how powerful emperors (like Augustus) even hesitated to authorize such dreadful penalties. Interestingly enough, by the time of Emperor Hadrian, circa 2nd century AD, the punishment was possibly made optional, and the other unenviable outcome for the guilty related to being thrown into the arena with beasts.
And while the punishment gradually fell into oblivion by 3rd century AD, later emperors like Constantine and Justinian sort of revived the dread of poena cullei, in a bid to bolster their Roman legacy when it came to legal institutions. For example, one of the texts from Corpus Juris Civilis, a massive collection of laws issued by Emperor Justinian, circa 530 AD onward, mentions –
A novel penalty has been devised for a most odious crime by another statute, called the lex Pompeia on parricide, which provides that any person who by secret machination or open act shall hasten the death of his parent, or child, or other relation whose murder amounts in law to parricide, or who shall be an instigator or accomplice of such crime, although a stranger, shall suffer the penalty of parricide. This is not execution by the sword or by fire, or any ordinary form of punishment, but the criminal is sewn up in a sack with a dog, a cock, a viper, and an ape, and in this dismal prison is thrown into the sea or a river, according to the nature of the locality, in order that even before death he may begin to be deprived of the enjoyment of the elements, the air being denied him while alive, and interment in the earth when dead. Those who kill persons related to them by kinship or affinity, but whose murder is not parricide, will suffer the penalties of the lex Cornelia on assassination.
However, over time the punishment of poena cullei was relegated and finally abolished by late 9th century AD. But parricide was still perceived as a severely deplorable sin in the later Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire), so much so that the ‘penalty of the sack’ was replaced by cruel immolation – as mentioned in Synopsis Basilicorum, a shortened version of the Byzantine law code Basilika, issued in 892 AD under the orders of Emperor Leo VI the Wise. But some forms of the punishment may have persisted in Europe (possibly in parts of Germany) till the late medieval period. | <urn:uuid:7d0ecb7a-8fd1-4f48-88fd-2126a4ec3ea3> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.realmofhistory.com/2017/06/06/poena-cullei-roman-punishment-parricide/ | 2018-06-22T03:45:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864343.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622030142-20180622050142-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.977172 | 1,838 | [

First - Nino Brown's a great guy - he picked me up and payed the tolls too!!! And he understands the importance of Taco Bell. I feel a man is my brother more by his reaction to the suggestion of Taco Bell, than I do by his interest in the guitar of the deeper register. Second - Spectors aren't all that bad. They even look a lot like Streamers . We went to a store in Jersey that has lots of high-end basses you don't find in the big chains. I learned today that I can forget about trying to reproduce the MM sound on another bass. I tried a couple of Laklands (which I loved and was almost ready to trade everything in on), but on an A & B test with a MM, no dice. There's something that I'm sure now is totally unique to MM basses. I'm still on a hunt though. I have a Streamer Jazzman on special order so I can see if it does the job. For those interested - I'm looking for the perfect union of a Fender/MM sound. Don't believe it exists. Fell in love today much to my surprise with a Peavey Millenium. I have that obsessed feeling in my gut like this is gonna be the next one. I liked the feel better than the Lakland, and I loved the price in comparison. I could go on and on. I love bass. I love bass stores. I love new basses. I've got rehearsal now. I've got to go. See yas. | <urn:uuid:80405eaa-7e58-4e54-9ee2-1bb832106d04> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.talkbass.com/threads/bass-shopping-with-nino-what-ive-learned.38210/ | 2018-06-23T04:53:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864940.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623035301-20180623055301-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.979741 | 318 | [

On November 15, 2008 the hierarchs and clergy of the local Orthodox and Catholic communities, along with Ukrainian Diplomats stationed in Chicago and well over 2000 people marched through the main streets of Chicago drawing the attention of the world to the deaths of 10 million of innocent victims of the 1932-1933 Genocidal Famine in Ukraine. It was a horror of unimaginable dimensions created by Josef Stalin, which continues to affect the Ukrainian nation to this day.
Very cold winter greeted the participants in the march along with strong winds, which opened up the Church banners, flags and specially designed banners to the fullest, behind a specially made cross – ensuring that those who witnessed the march along Chicago streets understood what the commemoration was about – the 75th anniversary of that Genocide against the Ukrainian nation and her people because they refused to enter into the Soviet collective farming system, because their land meant everything to them for the sustenance of life and the role the Church has always played in Ukrainian history as the moral conscience of the nation.
His Grace Bishop Daniel accompanied by the clergy of Chicago Metropolitan area, Very Rev. Bohdam Kalyniuk – Dean of the Chicago Deanery and Pastor of St. Andrew Parish in Bloomingdale, IL; Archimandrite Pankratij – Pastor of St. Volodymyr Cathedral, Chicago, IL; Very Rev. Fr. Taras Naumenko – Pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish, Palos Park, IL, Rev. Fr. Andrew Pokotylo – Pastor of Holy Trinity Parish, Goshen, IN; Rev. Fr. Walter Hvostik – Pastor St. Mary Protectress Parish, Milwaukee, WI; Fr. Volodymyr Shelvakh, Fr. Taras Maximtsev, Protodeacon Mykola Dilendorf, Deacon Andriy Fronchak, Deacon James Stickel, Deacon Silouan Rolando, seminarians Ivan Kostyshyn and John Charest, along with the local clergy of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy, participated in the solemn march from Washington Park to Holy Name Roman Catholic Cathedral, the site of a Memorial service – Panakhyda for the victims of the Famine.
In the opening remarks prior to the beginning of the Memorial service, His Eminence Francis Cardinal George, welcomed the Ukrainian-American community to the cathedral offering his words and prayers of solidarity as the world marks the anniversary of the horror committed against Ukrainians.
Following the Cardinal’s remarks, His Grace Bishop Daniel of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA addressed those gathered in the Cathedral, stating that:
“We have gathered here today in this beautiful cathedral to bow our heads in prayer with grief and sorrow in memory of almost 10 million men, women and children who died from starvation as human sacrifices during 1932 and 1933, in great pain and suffering, on the rich black earth of our ancestral homeland, land, which provided an bumper harvest that year. There exists no language in this world, which could describe the horrible, inhumane, unnatural sufferings of starving people. There are no shades of colors that could depict the picture of the suffering Ukraine who has drunk the cup of world sorrow to the last drop.”
His Grace called upon the gathered to hear the ringing of human voices of those who starved to death. The Bishop prayerfully, yet powerfully, exclaimed that the world needs to hear the number – 10 million human lives destroyed! Moreover, the bishop continued: “…we cannot force the memory of those millions who died out of our minds. We must seriously take our responsibility to correct the history books and educational materials in order to keep the flame of memory alive about our brothers and sisters in Christ who perished only because they were willing to stand up for their rights to own their own small part of God’s green Earth, rather than to submit to the collective farm policy of Josef Stalin... We must continue to work tirelessly in order to make sure that finally there is a proper memorial built in Kyiv and the capitol of our nation - United States in America, a memorial worthy of the sacrifice of so many millions… I call upon you to continue your work, regardless of what some might say. Remember - if we force the memory of those millions who died out of our minds because it makes us, or perhaps someone else, uncomfortable, then we fail them.
Bishop Daniel concluded: “Someone once said that - A nation who forgets its past shall have no future. This is most true today, as we look at our ancestral motherland. We apprehensively look at the constant political struggles there, we see how our neighbors constantly undermine our authority and threaten our independence.
It is for these reasons that we in the Diaspora, being loyal to our Mother-land, should strengthen the relations between ourselves. We should become an effective welding factor for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine who continue the fight for the future of our nation and its independence. Our daily efforts here should be geared toward positive steps for our people in Ukraine to move ahead, but also never forget their tragic past, especially that Famine of 1932-33, which has gathered us here today along with our brothers and sisters – Orthodox and Catholics – who have gathered at St. Patrick Cathedral in New York City at about the same hour for the same memorial commemoration.
As we complete this yearlong commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Genocidal Famine, a horror unequaled in our nation or the world, let us not be indifferent. Let those horrible years be both a reminder to us all and a warning as we look toward building a future for our nation. WE MUST NEVER FORGET!
A beautiful choir comprised of cantors and members of various Orthodox and Catholic parishes in the Chicago area and under the skillful direction of Dr. Vasyl Truchly, sang the responses to the memorial service led by His Grace Bishop Richard (Seminack) of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Chicago and His Grace Bishop Daniel of the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA.
Following the prayer service, His Grace Bishop Richard of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Chicago offered his remarks on the Famine in Ukraine recalling the personal experience of witnessing of baking of bread and the meaning of bread for the hungry starving people of 1932-1933. The Bishop reflected upon the tragic history of Ukrainians in early 1930s and called upon the Ukrainian-American community to remember their history and to share it with next the generations of young men and women of Ukrainian descent. Moreover, His Grace pointed out that in order to prevent another Holodomor of our time, we should create opportunities for wide access to the truthful history of Ukraine, for uplifting national consciousness, self-respect and patriotism. As one of the most devastating yet least understood tragedies of the 20th century, it largely remains unknown to the general public. The victims deserve a place in history and in our memory.
In conclusion, Bishop Richard offered his gratitude to His Eminence Francis Cardinal George for his participation in the Ecumenical Memorial Prayer Service and most especially for permission to utilize Holy Name Cathedral, which certainly brought much significant attention to the commemoration. In addition, on the behalf of the hierarchs he expressed gratitude to the local Ukrainian clergy and the entire Ukrainian community for such a strong and positive witness in commemorating the 10 innocents – modern day martyrs – who died without reason. | <urn:uuid:30c7788d-2c99-4027-a3cd-a39767fa9fc5> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.uocofusa.org/news_081118_1.html | 2018-06-23T04:24:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864940.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623035301-20180623055301-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.94901 | 1,519 | [
