Around noon Friday, when Coldplay officially decided to postpone their concert at NRG Stadium, Raed "Ray" Salti's pizza chain got a phone request: Could Pepperoni's send over 100 pizzas to the Westin Galleria Hotel around 5 pm for the band and its crew?
Salti's son, Andrew, delivered a van load of 8-inch pizzas from the chain's Montrose and Medical Center-area locations — 25 Quattro Fromagio, 25 Classic Veggie and 50 "All The Meats" versions — to the hotel.
Ray Salti, who also owns Bollo Woodfired Pizza, says it wasn't the chain's largest delivery ever. "We get up to 500 large pizzas to a school every once in a while," he texted. But it surely was one of the most fun deliveries.
He hopes to have as many of the Houston area's Pepperoni's locations open as possible this weekend, but it depends on whether his employees can get safely to work, he said.
Coldplay has a bit of pizza history. The band has been known to treat fans waiting in line in the cold for concert tickets with free pizza. And a raucous unauthorized music video for the Coldplay song "Fix You" on YouTube asks, "What happens when a roommate goes too far and has the last slice of pizza?"
In a tweet earlier on Friday, the band expressed its disappointment in canceling the Houston concert and plans to reschedule it at a later date. | <urn:uuid:2812be07-246d-49e8-a23a-0fce8f976fa6> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/08-26-17-coldplay-orders-100-pizzas-to-Houston-hotel/ | 2018-06-25T19:39:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267868876.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625185510-20180625205510-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.955644 | 311 | [

Tis the season for all those back to school lunch packing advice articles and segments on the news. I look at each one, hopeful this ‘Real Lunches Your Kids Will Love’ will really be real lunches my kids will love. But they’re not. They’re lunches with olives and hummus and smoked salmon with pretty peppers cut in cute strips. Or tuna or almond butter sandwiches or boiled eggs cut in fun shapes–all things kids are not allowed to bring to school because of allergies.
Where are the ‘Real Lunches for Kids Who Can Taste A Wisp of Red Pepper In A Bowl of Spaghetti Sauce Then Somehow Pull It All Apart to Remove Said Tiny Sliver’ articles? Where are the lunch ideas for kids who act like they’re walking to the guillotine as they move toward the table where stir-fry is on their plates? For the love of God, where are the news segments where someone says it’s okay to give children Lunchables every day even though they will never eat the meat in it, no matter what that meat is? Please someone write something for the child who does not like meat or mayonnaise or mustard or even ketchup on a sandwich. Will no one look for real ideas for the parent of children who keep bringing home uneaten bananas and sad, wilted, ignored vegetables? For those of us who hear the cry, “the pepper touched my cheese so I couldn’t eat anything?” Come on, bring the real to the real lunch articles!
Yesterday the government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced the closure of 54 libraries, more than half of the libraries in this province. I work, on-call, in the library system so I admit I have a horse in this race but it is because I have worked there that I feel so angry and sad about this decision. Because while others may have heard the announcements and thought of the big picture–the thousands of users who won’t get to go to the library or the 64 people who lost their jobs or the idea that maybe no one uses libraries any more–I saw the little picture, the individuals who use the library and the ones that work in them.
I pictured the small child who walks into the library, full of excitement at all these possibilities in all these books. Most libraries loan out DVDs now but I haven’t seen a lot of children borrow them. The children are all about the books. I picture little arms, barely able to hold onto the pile they bring Continue reading
I just heard that Dr. Maya Angelou has died at age 86. I am often saddened by the death of celebrities but for this one, I cried. Her light, her grace, her courage, her brilliance, the way she carried herself through the world, all made her such a force and now this world is absent all that. It seems a sadder, lonelier place for a bit.
The only spoken word CD I ever bought was her poem, On the Pulse of Morning, from Bill Clinton’s inauguration. I listened to it countless times. I read so many of her poems, as well but, as powerful as her words are upon the page, there is nothing like hearing her read them. Her voice matched the words so well and she made them come alive. She made them rise up from the page, like she rose up. It’s hard to pick a favourite poem of hers. I think I love them all. Of course, And Still I Rise is a favourite, Phenomenal Woman is up there and On the Pulse of Morning (Courtesy; William J. Clinton Presidential Library), the one that introduced me to her work must be there. But I’ve been listening to her words again today and found a brief clip, not of a poem but of her telling us about being human. And it shows how even when she is just speaking, her way with words makes poetry happen. She says brilliant things like “I am aware that I’m child of God. It’s such an amazing understanding. To think that the IT which made fleas and mountains, rivers and stars, made me.” Or “I have to know that the brute, the bigot and the batterer are all children of God, whether they know it or not. And I’m supposed to treat them accordingly. It’s hard and I blow it all the time.”
People like Maya Angelou make me believe there is something after this life. Surely, a presence so powerful cannot be stopped by the cessation of a beating heart. All that force, all that light must go somewhere and cannot be contained in a coffin. I don’t know where it goes, but I cannot believe it disappears with the dying of a breath. So, to her body, I say rest in peace and to her soul, I say rise, rise up to the highest heights.
I am livid. I mean it. I’m disgusted and angry. Not the first time I felt this way about the Harper government but this is a whole new level of outrage. I’m talking about Julian Fantino and his so called meeting with veterans yesterday. One man broke down while talking about it. These men who served their country and only asked for time and an open mind from the man who is supposed to be responsible for the affairs of veterans. Instead, the veterans waited and waited for their meeting, only to be told that the minister couldn’t meet with them. Three other people were sent to meet with the veterans. But Fantino managed to show up just in time for a meeting with the press. And when things got heated, what did Fantino do? He walked out of the meeting. Continue reading
I’m tired of it. Tired of people accusing Newfoundlanders of being weak, nish, of people like Trevor Taylor, who I respect in many ways, telling us to stop complaining. I’m sick of people telling us to shut up about the trees when we’re all complaining about the forest. Although some people were impacted in terrible ways over the last few days of what people on twitter call #darknl, we aren’t complaining about a power outage or a storm. At least most of the people I know aren’t. Storms and power outages are not new to us. Certainly not to me. Where I grew up, power outages were common and there were several Christmases in a row where we had snow storms and power outages at Christmas time. You deal. Maybe moan a bit but you deal. What’s happening now in Newfoundland is a totally different matter and worthy of complaint. This is complete incompetence and a lack of preparedness on the part of the organizations and people who are supposed to provide us power.
I went shopping at Target for the first time this morning. Finding a place to park wasn’t too hard, even though I’d heard about long line-ups. There was a huge line-up for the checkout inside but it wasn’t crazy busy. I did leave without purchasing anything. And I was disappointed. I’m obsessed with getting good deals and thought Target would be a great place to do that. Maybe things will change but for now, here’s what I think are the pros and cons of our new Target store.
-Price: where are the good prices I was expecting?
-Stock (or lack thereof): many, many hooks and shelves were empty. Maybe there were good prices on things but they must have sold out fast. And I did check some of the empty shelves and didn’t think the deals were that special at all.
-Line-up at cash: hahahahahahahahaha. Maybe if there was an awesome deal somewhere but not for the $1 slipper socks I saw there and were the only thing in my cart when I dumped it. It went back the one side of the store and then around the corner a bit.
-Walked right up to the counter at Starbucks and got my latte. Expensive yes, but extra satisfying without the wait.
-On a whim, went to Michaels instead of staying at Target and got the last Rainbow Loom I’ve been searching for everywhere but sells out too fast. It is sooooo hard to find and was sold out at Michael’s within the hour. Don’t ask me why Sam and his male friends are all so excited about making bracelets with this thing. I talked to a grandmother and mother in the line-up who were buying them for 8 and 9 year old boys. They were baffled too. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It just seems to be so something they wouldn’t be into. Sam has never shown the least bit of interest in crafting and now he wants to make bracelets. Go figure. But it ain’t a video game and I’m all for it!
-No temptation to drive all the way out to the east end to shop at Target. Costco is still the only thing to drag me out to Stavanger and that isn’t a very frequent visit. Oh and maybe Future Shop and Michaels if I’m already there or there’s a good deal on.
Right now, I’d have to give a thumbs down to Target but maybe it’s just growing pains. I’ll probably try again sometime when things have calmed down a bit.
See, the problem with being away from a blog for so long is the idea of writing this post explaining why I’ve been away for so long. This is especially true if your last post is called “Part One” of something. The weird thing is that I finished writing part two the day after I posted part one. But I have to admit I’m a little nervous posting these proclamations about writing. Unless I’m angry and on a rant like I was in part one. I’ve calmed down. Things have happened. But I still stand by my assertions and will post part two later this week.
It’s not just my nervousness about telling fellow writers, most of them waaaaaay better than me, that I think writing is not hard that’s kept me away from my blog. It’s not even just procrastination or trying to enjoy some of the great summer we had. Nope, the thing that’s been keeping me busy is that we Continue reading
The wonderful Trudy Morgan Cole tagged me when she posted a link to an article on facebook. The article was from Elizabeth Gilbert, she of Eat, Pray, Love and took a poke at Philip Roth for trying to discourage a young writer from his profession. Trudy knew I’d love what Gilbert said and I did. I really did. Because I’d said it so many times before. To Trudy, had heard it from Trudy, ranted to others about it. Gilbert said it much better than I ever could but that won’t stop me. Because I like to rant, especially about something I rant about so often.
Pity the poor writer, slaving away in her basement or chained to his keyboard. Hunched over, fingers aching, brain reeling. I often hear, or read about, writers complaining how tough it is to write. How they agonize over a paragraph for hours and then finally, fretfully, after wrestling with their commas and periods and which synonym of the word ‘bend’ they should use, get that paragraph done. Only to cut it out in a couple of months when they revise the work again. How they torture over each syllable and every word.
Bah, humbug. Continue reading
Best opening ever. Favourite quotes that had me literally laughing out loud:
“Meryl Streep is not here tonight, she has the flu. I hear she’s AMAZING in it.” – Amy Poehler.
About Kathryn Bigelow “…when it comes to torture, I trust a woman who spent three years married to James Cameron…” – Amy Poehler
Talking to Anne Hathaway, about her “Les Mis” performance: “I have not seen someone alone and abandoned like that since you were on the stage with James Franco at the Oscars.” – Tina Fey | <urn:uuid:a6552585-a939-4164-953b-9196f4e302d1> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://tinachaulk.com/category/uncategorized/ | 2018-06-25T19:39:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267868876.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625185510-20180625205510-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.972854 | 2,604 | [

In our four-part series highlighting why the first two Arctic® apples – Arctic® Golden and Arctic® Granny – are poised to revitalize two amazing varieties, we’ve previously focused on the Arctic® Golden. We now turn to why the nonbrowning trait makes the Arctic® Granny well suited to put Grannies back among leading apple varieties:
An apple by any other name…
First of all – yes, there was a real Granny Smith! The apple’s namesake was a prominent figure in colonial Australia in the mid-1800s. After discovering the new variety – a chance seedling on her small orchard property – she found it to be a wonderful apple for both cooking and eating fresh.
As an interesting aside, because the first Granny Smith tree received its unique characteristics from a rare mutation, its seeds don’t carry many of the original’s desirable features. Instead, they tend to produce tart, unappealing apples. So, all Granny Smith apple trees growing today are derived from cuttings of the original tree in Sydney (see more on apple propagation via grafting here)! And from these unique origins, Granny Smith’s apples quickly became a big hit in her community, though it would be years before they’d take off in North America…
A rise to prominence
By the early 1980s, Granny Smith apples were starting to gain popularity in North American thanks to Australian imports (where Grannies made up ~40% of the entire apple crop!) and consumers became hooked. Thus, Granny Smith production steadily increased over the next couple decades, climbing into the top-5 U.S. varieties in the early 90s and staying there ever since.
Opportunities lie ahead
In our profile of Golden Delicious and their unfortunate decrease in popularity, the supply chain issues they face and how the nonbrowning trait can help overcome them was a central theme. That’s not exactly the case for Granny Smith, as while they have faced increased competition from other varieties, their production has remained fairly steady, only slightly lower today than their peak in the mid-2000s.
Perhaps that’s because, as Orange Pippin suggests, they’re the single “most instantly recognized of all apples”. This iconic status is well earned thanks to their distinctive taste and green coloring, along with their refreshing crispness. They’re even ranked as one of the healthiest varieties due to their particularly high antioxidant and phenolic levels. Plus, they also store as well as nearly any commercial variety!
So, rather than the nonbrowning Arctic® advantage addressing supply-chain problems like for Goldens, the variety-specific value Arctic® Grannies offer, is that they play to the natural strengths of Granny Smith. As we’ll explain in next week’s post, we’re sure nonbrowning will help take this delectable variety to new heights! | <urn:uuid:a0ee8f81-b2ff-4da9-9cd1-f691b59cacc7> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.arcticapples.com/1st-arctic-varieties-rebranding-granny-smiths-part-1/ | 2018-06-25T19:08:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267868876.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625185510-20180625205510-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.960652 | 616 | [

21st Century Edition
2012, 216 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch
Ask most chessplayers about the works by Richard Reti, and most will quickly reply Modern Ideas in Chess. His Masters of the Chessboard will be a distant second and that is unfortunate, because in many ways Masters is more comprehensive and instructive than its better-known predecessor.
He packs it with advice, even for beginners. Opening theory is a priority. Reti tells the student to understand "the basic idea" of each opening, and goes into considerable detail as he explains each of the popular lines of the day, including, of course, his own Reti Opening. Some of the finest parts of the book are the mini-essays, most of them on openings, but also on rook endgames. It's remarkable that Reti manages to do this without going into long variations.
This practical approach is also evident when he deals with positional themes. For example, Masters can be appreciated as almost a primer on the subject of how to turn the two bishops into a significant advantage.
As noted by American grandmaster Andy Soltis in his foreword, this entire book is "wonderfully instructive." And now it is available in a 21st-century edition, with figurine algebraic notation, with many diagrams and photos added. | <urn:uuid:7d01d79b-dc08-49e1-8991-c9fca7593b04> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.chessware.de/Richard-Reti-Masters-of-the-Chessboard | 2018-06-25T19:33:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267868876.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625185510-20180625205510-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.954463 | 275 | [

Public Safety Canada is committed to cracking down on human smuggling and other abuses of Canada's immigration system. Under the Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness can designate the arrival of a group of persons into Canada as irregular, and make those involved subject to the Act's measures. These measures make it easier for officials to investigate irregular migrants, human smugglers and those who provide them transportation.
With communities across the country facing a steady increase in gun violence over the past five years, the Government of Canada is strengthening Canada's gun laws in a common-sense, focused and effective way. Legislation introduced prioritizes public safety and effective police work, while respecting law-abiding firearms owners.
Firearm-related homicides in Canada have been steadily increasing. Shootings have now become the most common method of homicide, surpassing homicide by stabbing and beating. Gang-related homicides involving guns are no exception. The federal government is leading initiatives and working with partners and stakeholders to tackle the increase in criminal gun related violence and gang activity in Canada.
The purpose of the Committee, which was originally established in 2006, is to provide advice on measures to reform Canada’s firearms policies, laws and regulations to ensure an up-to-date firearms regime that will keep Canadians safe.

I'm finding that I need ways to focus on 'the now' to keep time from slipping through my fingertips. Here are some simple ways to help slow down precious time with your kiddos.
If you're wondering if Goat Yoga has any actual health benefits, it does. The beginner friendly yoga poses that you move through certainly stretch your body. .... During this process, your body releases the same endorphins as when you eat chocolate. It is proven therapy for both the goats and the humans! | <urn:uuid:af79365e-2885-4050-9aba-5b7dd25ede28> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://amyleecreel.com/2018/08/ | 2019-06-15T20:45:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627997335.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20190615202724-20190615224724-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.963527 | 102 | [

One of the biggest expenses when relocating employees – in the case of individual employee transfers or relocating entire corporate offices – is surprise relocation costs. Emergency expenses no one predicted can blow your relocation budget out of the water, lead to frustrated HR staff and transferred employees, and hurt your company's bottom line.
A relocation calculator can help accurately estimate relocation costs, so you can negotiate fair corporate relocation packages and then stick to the allotted budget for each relocation.
A comprehensive relocation calculator should factor in:
- Packing and moving costs
- Costs associated with the purchase and sale of real estate
- Utility costs
- Trips to the new location
- One-time costs associated with organization fees, new school registration, etc.
- Temporary housing (if necessary)
- Temporary storage of belongings (if necessary)
- Moving insurance costs
- Tax gross up of benefits
A Relocation Calculator Keeps Relocation Packages Within Budget
Once you've used a relocation calculator to set benchmark costs for each move, careful, real-time tracking of moving expenses can help each move stay within budget. If surprise costs pop up (less likely with everything calculated in advance), you can look at other areas of the budget to compensate for the loss.Other relocation calculators can help determine the difference in the cost-of-living in the new region to help your HR staff determine if a pay raise or relocation incentive is in order.
These financial considerations will help your HR staff set fair corporate relocation packages, resulting in better employee retention and productivity.
WHY A RELOCATION EXPENSES CALCULATOR ISN'T ALL YOU NEED
If the only thing you're using to relocate your employees is an expense calculator and a lump sum of money, you are absolutely spending more than you have to, both in the long run and the short run.
It's not your fault if you're not sure how else to handle employee relocation. It's not the kind of thing most of us had to deal with while moving up in our organizations, nor is it taught in college.
This is the primary reason to outsource your employee relocation to qualified experts. But what can qualified experts provide that the average human resources department cannot?
A COHERENT RELOCATION POLICY
This is the ground floor where most employers fall short when it comes to employee relocation. Sadly enough, it's also where most relocation "experts" fall short as well.
More often than not, employee relocation is handled piecemeal, treating every aspect of the relocation process as a separate service that must somehow be jammed in with all other services and actions.
A coherent relocation process, sometimes slightly more expensive in the short term, is actually an investment when you consider the long-term implications of your employee loyalty and productivity (including all of the other personnel your relocating employee will affect).
And when you factor in the kind of lost initial productivity and lengthened time of "settling in" to the new position that typically goes along with employees who must handle the entire move on their own, a managed move is generally cheaper in the short run as well.
HOW CAN YOU GET A COHERENT, INTEGRATED POLICY?
There are two steps to coming up with a coherent, integrated relocation policy that will improve employee loyalty and retention and act as an investment in your business' future.
The first is that you must understand what your core relocation issues are and how these relate to your company's strategic goals.
Every business has long-term strategic goals. Unfortunately, not every manager, department head or even c-level executive can clearly articulate these goals. But articulate them you must, if you want a relocation process that keeps things running smoothly.
The second thing any policy requires is an individual or company that can take these concerns and meet them effectively in ways that most relocation officers simply do not. Every aspect of a managed move must work together in the same direction in a way that increases employee loyalty and company ROI.
The only way to get this is by utilizing an individual or company that has connections in multiple industries – especially freight, HR and real estate – and who can effectively coordinate them into a seamless policy and process.
This is something most companies simply can't get from the average human resources manager – or even a great one. Instead, this kind of policy can only be put together by an individual (or team of individuals) with plenty of experience and connections, who can patiently and efficiently work with you to achieve your long-term goals. | <urn:uuid:0aba1874-416f-4a3b-89d8-3bcf3a0a400f> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://info.caprelo.com/blog/bid/57922/use-a-relocation-calculator-to-keep-relocation-costs-in-check | 2019-06-15T20:44:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627997335.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20190615202724-20190615224724-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.947356 | 928 | [

South Asia Floods: How the Church Is Responding
Over a thousand people have lost their lives in the floods sweeping through south Asia. Around a third of Nepal, Bangladesh and some parts of India have been under water since mid-August.
In Bangladesh alone, 5.7 million people have been affected by the floods and 300,000 people have been forced to flee. Many of them now live in makeshift camps. And if they’re Christians, they are less likely to receive emergency relief from the government.
In Bangladesh, those who leave Islam to follow Jesus have been facing this kind of persecution for years. In 2015, a Christian woman was even killed for collecting water from her local well. Now, with the added difficulty of the flood, the lack of clean water and adequate food many families are getting sick and waterborne diseases are spreading.
Through the local church we’ve been able to make a difference for flood victims in Bangladesh. Your support has enabled us to provided relief for 247 Christian families from a Muslim or Hindu background.
Image: Relief for flood affected believers in Bangladesh
Nasir was one of the men who received food relief for his family. “Our family of five was in a crisis due to the prolonged flood.” He said. “We feel so blessed that you remembered us in our suffering.”
We were also able to help Dulal, and his family of seven. “We live from hand to mouth and can’t go to work because of the severe flood.” Dulal said. “Open Doors relief is a great blessing to our family. May the Lord bless you!”
Continue to pray for Christians in Bangladesh affected by the floods. Pray for a speedy recovery for those affected by waterborne diseases, and for relief efforts to go well.
Your help and your prayers make a difference.

The first day of the Ladder League and Open Play at the ice rink courts took place this past Saturday. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with setup and running the sessions.
My apologies for members who tried to use the website for the last week or so and got error messages and could not access the site. As webmaster, I have been struggling to correct this and I believe I finally figured out how to resolve the issue. Keep your fingers crossed that my solution worked and the website will remain up and running.
In order to coordinate participation at various planned activities, HCPA will be posting the doodles on our website and updating them by Sunday or Monday for you to communicate your intentions. The following provides a list of the doodle locations.
If you plan to participate in the weekday sessions at the Owen Brown Tennis Club on weekday afternoons, please use the doodle to sign-up as a courtesy to others so people have an idea of who will be at that location. Use the menu item Members / Weekday Play. Given that this is a new approach for our weekday play times, if you would like to communicate your feedback, please send me an email to [email protected].
If you would like to sign-up for next Saturday's Ladder League as a substitute, please use the menu item Leagues / Substitute Sign-up.
We are extending our indoor weekday night sessions and have added another school cafeteria, Phelps Luck ES, since we lost Burleigh Manor MS. To sign-up for an indoor session, please use the menu item Members / Weekday Night Play. Please note that if we don't get enough people to sign-up for a weekday night session, we will cancel the play and note it on the doodle. | <urn:uuid:69f35286-244c-4cb7-9d3e-7a9d423c79fd> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://howardcountypickleball.org/association-new-update-3-31-19/ | 2019-06-17T01:13:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998339.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617002911-20190617024911-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.937432 | 367 | [

I have done this dozens of times but just recently ran into this error. Here are the steps I have gone through to get here:
- Create a copy of my Azure SQL v12 database on the same server as the original
- Export the copy-version (completely inactive from user interaction) to blob storage
- Download the .bacpac file from blob storage to my local drive
- In SSMS (October 2016 release) my local sql server instance, right click Databases and choose 'Import Data Tier Application'
- Choose my recently downloaded bacpac file and start the import
It only takes a few seconds for it to bomb out and I get the error:
Error SQL72014: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Msg 33161, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Database master keys without password are not supported in this version of SQL Server Error SQL72045: Script execution error. The executed script: CREATE MASTER KEY;
I followed the same process for the same database 1.5 months ago any everything worked fine...Is anyone else experiencing this??? I have SSDT version 14.0.61021.0 installed - not sure if that matters or not. I'm also running SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition (v13.0.1722.0). | <urn:uuid:6bb26463-bfe0-4c56-bc39-88116b087097> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40575610/ssms-2016-error-importing-azure-sql-v12-bacpac-master-keys-without-password-not | 2019-06-17T02:03:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998339.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617002911-20190617024911-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.860379 | 268 | [

What is a Yeast Infection?
Yeast is a fungus that normally lives in the vagina in small numbers. A vaginal yeast infection means that too many yeast cells are growing in the vagina . Most yeast infections are caused by a type of yeast called Candida albicans. A healthy vagina has many bacteria and a small number of yeast cells. The most common bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus, help keep other organisms-like the yeast-under control.
When something happens to change the balance of these organisms, yeast can grow too much and cause symptoms. Taking antibiotics sometimes causes this imbalance. The high estrogen levels caused by pregnancy or hormone replacement therapy can also cause it. So can certain health problems, like diabetes or HIV infection. Learn More
Many healthcare professionals have found that Yeast Infection symptoms can be eliminated with sustained results. With their innovative treatment approaches, patients can experience symptom elimination in 2 weeks to 1 month for mild and moderate conditions.
The healthcare professionals listed here have published their case studies. You can contact them for help or contact us for doctors near you.

Yet another story of girl sees pattern, girl buys yarn for pattern, girl realizes she doesn't like pattern, and girl wonders what she will do with the yarn for that specific pattern. Thanks to the Sweet Georgia Pattern KAL I found a pattern that went nicely with Sweet Georgia Merino Silk Fine and I no longer had to feel guilty seeing it in my stash.
- Details -
Project Name: North Plum Hat
Pattern: North Wind Hat by Felicia Lo of Sweet Georgia Yarns
Yarn: Sweet Georgia Yarn - Merino Silk Fine in Black Plum
- None, but I should have gone down a needle size for the brim ribbing, after blocking (read: soaking and laying smaller) I found it a bit too large, but still quite comfortable.
- Yarn: Merino Silk might not have been the ideal yarn for this project, it is warm and comfortable and I need to run some elastic through the band.
- Pattern: Felicia has well written patterns with excellent layout (which doesn't really affect the knitting pattern, but does make using the pattern more enjoyable).
Re-Knit?: Maybe, hats get lost so I expect to be remaking this hat some day. | <urn:uuid:17383f90-7a9f-424a-9f34-ad9896b8f27b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://lonemaplestudio.com/blog/2012/12/30/fo-north-plum-hat | 2019-06-19T11:22:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998959.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619103826-20190619125826-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.928422 | 248 | [

Our first annual spring fiesta was held at the Tortaria in NYC. Our staff proved they know how to create an unforgettable experience, not only on someone else's job, but at our own party! Channeling upcoming Cinco de Mayo festivities, our group enjoyed margaritas, tacos, tortilla chips, margaritas, guacamole, margaritas and, oh, did we mention, margaritas? Leave it to a bunch of photographers to all leave their cameras at home. Thank goodness for iPhone photo technology.
Still watching Grammys recaps and pining for another Alicia Keys performance? Well, you can at least re-live the afterparty here with our best of from Billboard's afterparty. Thanks to these guests, who musical or not, have definitely got soul!
The Booth was super excited to attend Chrissy's Birthday Party a few weeks ago-- catered by the master Chef Roble. The props were pretty outrageous, but the guests ran with it and a great time was had by all. Super-star staff member Chessa even got to meet her favorite musician Quest Love from The Roots. We are really looking forward to watching Chrissy and John on Bravo soon!
While a white backdrop is our classic look, we are always thrilled to work with the setting at events. This gorgeous wedding was in Hudson, NY, and the character of the industrial space called for something a little different. We love the effect of the weathered brick (and the dancers aren't bad, either)!
It was mayhem in Soho here in NYC last Thursday on Fashion's Night Out. People of all ages and fashion inclinations were battling just to walk down the sidewalk. The high-energy of the street was definitely present in Vera Wang's Mercer flagship store where there was a DJ and a party for Vera's nearest and dearest. Guests popped in for photos, mingled, and danced, all while eyeing some very choice merchandise.
Check us out on Vera's blog: Vera Unveiled #FNO 2012
For those of you not in the know, Vera is wearing sunglasses from her eyewear collection-- which we absolutely loved! | <urn:uuid:28263159-2d9a-461b-a3f9-df75a94eca1c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.theboothphotovideo.com/blog/tag/After+Party | 2019-06-20T15:21:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999261.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620145650-20190620171650-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.968819 | 442 | [

What do we mean when we say “center yourself” here?
We mean physically that a Lake Whitney vacation can be the center point of your travel plans. You can stay here at the lake, enjoying the spectacular scenery, perhaps participate in a few water sports, enjoy our eclectic assortment of restaurants and STILL take the kids to a water park, a spectacular zoo, a world renowned wildlife park, enjoy some shopping, visit a winery or two, and visit some of the state’s little known museums (Dr. Pepper, Texas Ranger, Bosque Museum). You can even visit all that Dallas and Fort Worth have to offer and return to the peacefulness of the lake at the end of each day.
Here are a few other ideas for things to do in the area surrounding Lake Whitney.
- Take scenic drives throughout the area, enjoying wildflowers and wildlife
- Shop for antiques in Clifton, Meridian, Whitney, & Hillsboro
- Drive to Waco to see the new Baylor Stadium being built, just driving through the Baylor campus is a treat if you haven’t ever seen it.
- Visit two of the most beautiful stone courthouses in all of Texas.
- Play disc golf along the Brazos River.
- See a traditional craft village, complete with blacksmith and gristmill demonstrations at Homestead Heritage.
We also mean that the lake is the kind of place that allows you to escape your everyday life and mentally re-center yourself. Spend the days staring at the water and the nights staring at the stars. Play games with your kids or take a walk with your best bud. Bring a book, bring your favorite outdoor equipment, or bring nothing but a change of clothes.
Research has shown repeatedly that time away from our regular routine and from work in order to re-charge our batteries. A recent article on WedMD explains the importance of downtime in our lives. Lack of vacation or weekend escape time can lead to higher stress levels, sleep disorders, and even clinical depression. When you jokingly tell co-workers you need a vacation, you’re not far from the truth. The need is real, not imagined. The great news according to the experts in the article is that quantity is less important than quality. Small amounts of time spent in relaxation mode can greatly reduce the stress you feel from your normal life.
Lake Whitney offers options for small getaways, and it’s closer than you think.
Distance between Lake Whitney and Texas cities:
- 77 miles from Dallas area
- 58 miles from Ft. Worth
- 36 miles from Waco
- 137 miles from Austin
Start your escape to the lake by instantly checking the availability of a Lake Whitney vacation. | <urn:uuid:04b00f4e-57da-450d-b107-1e6fab71a0ae> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://cabinonlakewhitney.com/center-lake-whitney/ | 2019-06-25T06:22:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999800.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625051950-20190625073950-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.937424 | 562 | [

Sometimes, the best things in life happen by chance. A special boy signed up to participate in the 2012 OOHS summer soccer camp. His name is Alex, he was born with Down Syndrome. Friendships were made and lessons were learned at this soccer camp. These were important life lessons, valuable on and off the field, about reaching out beyond your comfort zone, taking risks and expanding your understanding of the world.
The OOHS Men’s Soccerr program, Alex and his family developed a relationship that went beyond the week-long summer camp. Alex and his family came to OOHS soccer games and the OOHS soccer community attended the 2012 Buddy Walk at Crew stadium. As part of Team Alex, the OOHS soccer community helped raise over $2000 to help support local activities through the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO).
We are pleased to announce the next chapter in our story: Team 47 S.C., a half day soccer camp specially designed for school aged kids with Down Syndrome offered by the OOHS Men’s soccer program. | <urn:uuid:96c6be90-eb47-40b9-8b5e-bda75ed22458> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://team47sc.com/ | 2019-06-25T05:34:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999800.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625051950-20190625073950-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.97774 | 222 | [

Over the years, our HVAC contractors have realized that many homeowners tend to forget about their systems. But then something happens. You go to switch on the air conditioning or heating and realize the system just isn’t functioning the way it normally does. Naturally, your next step is to research the problem. Unfortunately, there are countless misconceptions out there when it comes to HVAC systems. Keep reading as we debunk some of the more common ones, as referenced from Angie’s List.
- There’s no need to clean the outdoor unit – The job of the outdoor unit and condenser fan is to move air through the coils. When mud, grass, dirt, and other debris accumulate inside, the system is forced to work harder. Not surprisingly, all of this gunk decreases system efficiency and spikes those energy bills. That’s why occasionally cleaning your unit is so important. A quick hose-down should do the trick.
- I can put off checking my air filters – ‘Replace air filter.’ It’s right there at the top of your honey-do list. But you put it off for weeks and weeks as you dread that trip to the home improvement store. Here’s the thing, though: an HVAC filter serves as the main line of defense against contaminants. The more contaminants that wind up clogging up the works, the harder your system has to perform. Our HVAC repair team recommends changing your filter once a month.
- It’s best to leave the thermostat fan on “auto” – This is only partly true. During the winter, not turning on the thermostat until you get home makes sense. But it’s a different story when the outside temperature increases. Believe it or not, constantly running your HVAC fan actually saves energy and improves comfort down the road.
- I should set my thermostat to a higher temperature when I’m not home – This myth piggybacks off the aforementioned one. Let’s say that you come home from work and it’s 80 degrees in the house (yikes). Your system will have to kick things into overdrive before it can start cooling the house and removing humidity. As an alternative, find a temperature your family is comfortable with and don’t mess with the thermostat any longer.
- I don’t need to contact a professional HVAC company – Homeowners love taking on DIY projects because it saves them money. But when it comes to heating and A/C dilemmas, it’s best to contact your local HVAC contractors. Sure, it may be tempting to purchase a cheap part and install it yourself. But should you connect the wrong wire, for example, you could be looking at an emergency.

Not sure where to start but here goes.
1. Create both the user ID
2. Create the folder
3. Right Click on the folder and select Properties
4. IF you are sharing the folder, Click on Share this folder.
5. At Permission select the 2 user id to access the folder. Remove “Everyone” from the folder.
6. At the next tab which is security, click Advance.
7. Untick on Allow Inheritable permissions from the parent to propogate etc etc
8. Click Remove
9. Add back the 2 user ID that can access the folder and put the user accessible rights to the folder.
10. Click Apply all the way and test it if it can work.
Your domain admin would still be able to add himself with rights to the file. Password protect the file or use 3rd party software to protect the folder the file is in. And think about the trust level you have with the domain admins. No job is worth a peek at a bonus spreadsheet or payroll ledger or other confidential document.
The backup administrators will need to have access to this volume so they can be able to backup and restore the contents. Domain admins can gain access to the file with overwrites. For your peace of mind, you can install a product like Varonis http://www.varonis.com/products/datadvantage/windows/ which will give you “eyes” onto the contents.

Align the Spool Frame To Avoid Roll Tearing
By Vincent Morgan
For awhile I was also experiencing roll tearing on old rolls, but not
on new ones. The pattern was rather consistent. I adjusted the take
up spool slightly to bring it into perfect alignment with the roll.
Also, especially on old rolls, I found it is important to add tape
to the core of the left end piece and then make sure it is pulled out
slightly from the edge of the paper. Some people advocate the use of
O-rings for this purpose, which will work just as well. I haven't
had a problem since.

I’m Terhi, a long time member of the Pervasive Computing staff and a graduate of TUT. Since May 2017 I have been working as a University Lecturer. However, I have just recently returned to work after being on family leave for a bit. Before my current position I have been working in both teaching and research for many years.
Today, I teach programming. My main responsibility is Ohjelmointi 3: Tekniikat with its English counterpart Programming 3: Techniques. I’m also supervising both bachelor’s and master’s theses – a part of teaching I particularly like. I am active in our laboratory’s work towards the new Tampere University as well as other more administrative things such as curriculum planning, degree programs and other wibbly wobbly stuff.
My research interests are in modern software development. My doctoral work was about Open Source Software development and during my time as a post-doctoral researcher I focused on DevOps, Continuous Development and how software teams in general work best.
On my free time I enjoy skiing, running, swimming and cycling. I am a geek so I also spend time watching movies and reading a good book. I have a special soft spot for Shakespeare. The Tempest is my favourite.
“We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”

King George Chase - 2005 Result
Kicking King as s seven-year-old Tom Taaffe-trained gelding landed his second-successive King George VI Chase and earned a featured place in the King George Chase Roll of Honour. In winning he joined only a handful of chasers - all of them top-class - to land the King George and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in the same season. His two wins will no doubt be a highlight of the King George Chase history.
His regular pilot. Top King George Chase jockey, Barry Geraghty, was once again on board and the two did as much as they had too, to claim the race off what was only a moderate pace. Runner-up, Monkerhostin, was, in fact, closing on the leader at the finish, although that in no way detract from the winner as Kicking Kick always had his measure. In third place was Impek, and his rider Tony McCoy surprised many by racing prominently, trying to force the pace for much of the way. The disappointment of the contest was 2004 runner-up Kingscliff, who dropped away fairly tamely after clouting the final fence on the first circuit.
The race was very much a case of the King retaining his crown in the King George at the Kempton Park racecourse on Boxing Day and he rewarded his loyal fans by landing the 11/8 odds.
Kicking King was retired earlier this year but his two wins have earned him a place in the King George Chase Legends.
- 1st - Kicking King – 11/8

Derwood hit-and-run victim dies
The driver of the Cobalt remains in stable condition. Police are still looking for a dark-colored Ford Mustang, which they believe may have been involved in the accident. However, detectives have released no tag number, model year(s) or other identifying information about the Mustang, making this a needle-in-a-haystack search covering cars from the 1964 to the 2019 model year.
Anyone with information about this accident is asked to call the Collision Reconstruction Unit at 240-773-6620. | <urn:uuid:8b389147-fc2b-4e99-88a7-13c8c065e1ce> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.rockvillenights.com/2018/11/derwood-hit-and-run-victim-dies.html | 2019-06-19T15:57:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999000.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619143832-20190619165832-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.941662 | 121 | [

For students with mental health needs, the transition to campus life can be a major challenge. Students must adjust to living independently, take on new academic work and also manage their health and wellness. Despite the fact that most colleges and universities have some kind of support in place, an unacceptably large proportion of students with mental health needs still end up leaving campus.
In a new Focus newsletter, CAFE TAC takes a look at a pair of efforts to help both students that are transitioning to college for the first time, as well as those seeking to return to school after a health-related absence. While each of these approaches takes a different tack, both hold promise for helping students with mental health needs to succeed in higher education, and enjoy the same benefits as their typical peers.

RCSD releases $925M budget proposal, adds 132 teachers
The Rochester City School District on Tuesday announced a 2018-19 budget proposal that uses the majority of the district's savings to close a daunting budget gap while adding 186 employee positions, including 132 teachers.
The $957 million spending plan represents a 2.7 percent increase over the current year budget of $900.5 million. It is still waiting on several pieces before becoming final, including the final state aid number.
The RCSD proposal assumes it will get an additional $8 million in the state budget. It also takes a sizable $20 million dip from the district savings account and removes $3 million in contingency funds.
That will leave about $11 million left in the general fund balance, Chief Financial Officer Everton Sewell said, assuming the district is able to return some money to it as predicted in the budget.
There are an additional 38 special education teachers, 11 special education administrators, 22 reading intervention teachers, 10 behavioral specialists and 11 teachers for English language learners.
Costs driving the gap
- Compensation and benefits increasing by about $48 million, including an additional 186 positions.
- Debt service, rising by $7.5 million.
- 453 additional students defecting to charter schools, costing about $2 million.
Actions to close the gap
- $20 million taken from fund balance.
- $15 million in mandated efficiencies spread across all departments, but not schools.
- $6 million less in expenditures on students attending BOCES programs and other contracted services.
- An additional $8.2 million expected from the state budget.
- $3 million reduced contingency funds.
The spending plan has been overwhelmed by other news in the district: the death of 14-year-old student Trevyan Rowe, the appointment of a distinguished educator and the ongoing problems in special education.
All of those developments complicated the process in the last month. The news of the distinguished educator, in particular, came just hours before the district was to present its budget. Sewell was sent scrambling Tuesday afternoon to find $200,000 or so more for that projected expense.
In the aftermath of Trevyan's death, Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams said she wants to revamp the district's procedure for calling parents of absent children, possibly eliminating the automated system now in use. That would come with a significant price tag, but there was no immediate indication of a change in the early budget document.
The current school board committee on special education is developing recommendations that must be followed if the district is to avoid being sued by the Empire Justice Center. Those fixes, EJC Chief Counsel Bryan Hetherington said, will not be budget-neutral; the additional special education teachers and administrators should help in that regard.
The arrival of hundreds of Puerto Rican students fleeing Hurricane Maria gave the district its largest enrollment gain since at least 2002-03, and its first gain of any size since 2007-08. There will be a projected 27,056 students in RCSD next year versus 6,118 in charter schools.
Public hearings are scheduled for April 10 and April 25. Adoption by the school board is scheduled for May 15, followed by City Council on June 19. | <urn:uuid:352b2ea4-6272-4e28-aa94-01dedb7d13f1> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2018/03/27/rcsd-budget-proposal-2018-eastwood/463192002/ | 2019-06-19T16:15:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999000.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619143832-20190619165832-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.946513 | 667 | [

24 September 2014
PyCon UK is the UK conference for the Python programming language, held annually at Coventry. PyconUK is attended by many professional developers, but has recently added an education day to the line up. Last year was the first day that kids were specifically invited through the PyCon UK Raspberry Jam. For 2014 this evolved into the PyCon UK Education Track a two day event running concurrently with the main conference. The first day (Friday) was for teachers and the second day (Saturday) was for children. The kids day cost only £5 per child (accompanying parents free) which was excellent value for money considering it included lunch and a goodie bag.
I attended with my two children, Amelia (9 years old) and Oliver (6 years old). My daughter had also attended the previous year, but this was my son's first time.
The day started at 9.30. After a welcome to the event Martin O'Hanlon (one of the authors of Adventures in Minecraft) gave a presentation on programming for the Raspberry Pi Minecraft API. His presentation had an instant impact on the children who were clearly impressed by the ability to build a city of houses or having a house that follows behind and of course the canon to blow up his windmill.
The children were then provided with a worksheet on programming the Minecraft API. This started with a simple message on the screen and build up to an automatic bridge that would appear wherever Steve walked. Whilst Oliver has been working through the Code Club Scratch programming (he's my guinea pig for preparing for the code club I'm running at the moment) this is the first time he's seen Python. He didn't like the typing involved, although that's understandable considering he's quite young, but enjoyed the testing part. Amelia did most of the actual typing and together they to work through the exercise finishing just in time for the next session.
For the next session we had a choice of different activities. Initially I was thinking of taking Oliver along to the lego robot session (he's a big lego fan), whilst Amelia went to the Stop Motion session run by the Raspberry Pi education team. Due to technical problems the lego robot session was not running as planned (although I believe some of the kids still managed to get some lego robot stuff working), so both my children went up to the Stop Motion camera. Amelia had gone ahead already and had made friends with another girl, so they partnered up. I could therefore work one-to-one with Oliver.
There were also sessions on PyGame (for the older children) and programming Quad-copters.
The Raspberry Pi education team ran the second session that we had. This included Carrie Ann Philbin (author of Adventures in Raspberry Pi), Ben Nutall (author of much of the Raspberry Pi website documentation) and Alex Bradbury (one of the authors of Learning Python with Raspberry Pi) talked us through the steps involved in creating a push button stop motion camera. This involved wiring up a button to the GPIO and adding some Python code using the picamera module.
Full details are available on the following Raspberry Pi resource: Push button stop motion guide on the Raspberry Pi website
The trickiest part of the setup was how to mount the camera so that it didn't move around. We used a PyCon UK rubber duck to create our own "Duck Cam".
Oliver didn't want to do any typing, but other than entering the code this was very much a hands-on and do activity which he responded to really well. We were able to get up and running quite quickly and in no time had our first animation using some lego figures. We then had a play with some jelly beans which danced around the table before mysteriously disappearing (I'm not sure where, but they were very yummy).
We finished with a funny face video.
During this Amelia was being helped along with a volunteer. I think he may have been one of the teachers from the previous education day that had come to help out. It took them longer with the girls doing the typing, but they managed to create their own video by the end of the session.
It was then time for lunch with a demonstration of some robots. These robots were well out of the budget for most homes and schools, which is a really shame as they were very cool!
Hopefully in future they will come down to a more reasonable price, but until then this was a rare chance to see them in action.
The afternoon was an opportunity to carry on with one of the previous activities or to have a go at something else. My children teamed up together to work on another stop motion video.
This started with them trying to find as many Simpson / Lego movie figures from the Raspberry Pi's Lego box and then making up a short story. The story involves a Lego spaceman and Lisa Simpson building a wall, that is promptly destroyed by a girl robot, who is chased away by Chief Wiggum on a motorbike. Wyldstyle then comes in and with a bit of Master Builder know-how rearranges the Lego, which turns into a real life Raspberry Pi, which the Simpson cast all come to look at. Awesome!
You can see the video below:
As well as the programming aspect to this, it's a great example of how computers, especially the Raspberry Pi, can be used for other creative projects. A great way to combine art and computing.
At the end there was an opportunity for some of the children to show off their work.
The event was well turned out and many of them wanted to show off their work. Unfortunately there was not enough time for everyone, but there were some great demonstrations.
This included several Minecraft demonstrations (such as a "Tardis" style building that was bigger inside than outside), some PyGame mazes and some of the videos from the earlier stop motion session. Oliver's funny face video was one of those shown which raised a few laughs!
As well as all the fun of day the children all took home a bag of goodies to help encourage them to learn programming at home. This included a Raspberry Pi (the latest model B+ no less) and a copy of the book Getting started with Raspberry Pi, a debugging duck and some Pycon swag. This means that the children can go home and carry on the programming they started and hopefully encourage them to pursue it further. We returned one of the books as there were not quite enough for all the kids and my kids were happy to share, but they did get their own Raspberry Pi to encourage them to create their own projects.
A great day that all the kids enjoyed.
Thanks to all those that put in so much effort to make the day go so well. | <urn:uuid:40032fae-0931-4ad3-b6d8-a6bc44f0e1f9> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.penguintutor.com/news/programming/pyconuk-kids | 2019-06-20T19:14:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999273.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620190041-20190620212041-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.981533 | 1,402 | [

Diving here in the Maldives is absolutely mindblowing. After doing this for a couple of months, one might think you have seen it all. Well honestly, no.
This week for instance. Some of the best encounters with mantas and whale sharks. And of course the night dive with the nurses. But what blew my mind was a manta, that was upset with out guests Jade. She was not paying attention to the manta. Just check out this video trip report to see what happened 😉 | <urn:uuid:da3bb16b-7d8e-48e3-87a0-f101b9aeb2ab> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://lovediving2.com/2017/09/18/a-magical-trip-caught-on-camera/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-06-20T20:20:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999273.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620190041-20190620212041-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.975843 | 105 | [

According to a 2017 study reported on by Forbes, 70.8% of small businesses do their marketing in-house. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be seeing much success. According to another study Forbes quoted, small businesses who keep marketing in-house are the least satisfied with their results.
Marketing is a specialized field that requires a specific skill set. But marketing is constantly changing. In fact, it changes as frequently as Google changes its algorithms.
Most small-to-medium-sized businesses don’t have the capacity to keep up with these trends. To stay relevant, they turn to a marketing consultant.
But what does a marketing consultant do? When it comes to marketing, they can do almost anything. Find out more below.
What Does a Marketing Consultant Do?
A marketing consultant may be part of a marketing agency. However, they often work alone or for a consulting firm. Some marketing consulting companies and agencies provide customers with a team of consultants rather than one person.
What is a marketing consultant? It’s an individual who lends their skills and experience in marketing to another business for a price. The business then applies the consultant’s input to their own marketing strategies to increase results.
Marketing Consultants don’t typically provide deliverables. For example, they may not write blog posts or manage your social media ads. However, they could do these things and more.
Some freelance marketing consultants act as a one-stop marketing shop for a small number of clients. Some others just provide advice.
Marketing Consultants usually play an outsourced but high-level role at your company. Some marketing consultants even serve as fractional CMOs. This way, your company gets CMO services without taking on the internal costs of a full-time officer.
But for the most part, consultants help you train your employees on marketing best practices. They’ll also advise you on marketing tactics and long-term marketing strategies. A marketing consultant acts as a go-to resource for all your company’s marketing needs.
What Skills Does a Marketing Consultant Have?
Marketing consultants will typically have an education in business or marketing. Some consultants may have degrees in other fields. They may have gained relevant skills during their career to reach the position of consultant.
A marketing consultant must think both analytically and creatively. They must have a mind for strategy. But most importantly, they should think in terms of ROI.
A marketing consultant must do more than provide their client with guidance and a plan. They must give them a positive return on their marketing investment.
Manage Your Marketing Strategy
So, what does a marketing consultant do? It depends on the needs of your business. If you need deliverables like web designs and blogging, your marketing consultant could play an essential role in the planning, execution, and measurement of your strategy.
To get the most out of your marketing, work with an agency that provides consulting on top of other services you need.

Presidency Events on Horizon Europe
During the Austrian Presidency (July - December 2018), research ministers met three times – in July, in September and in November 2018 – at one informal and two formal meetings of the Council Competitiveness.
Other events during the Austrian Council Presidency invited participants to discuss issues regarding Horizon Europe, the 9th Framework Programme. These events ranged from Marie Skłodowska Curie to Industrial Technologies, from Innovative Enterprise Week to the “Imagine Digital – Connect Europe” conference. The outcome of the events was carefully documented and made available to the team preparing and driving the negotiations in Brussels. Thus the RTI events in Austria supported the search for suitable solutions in the negotiations in Brussels, without, however, directly interfering in these negotiations.
In this section you can find links to all Austrian Presidency events focussing on Horizon Europe, as well as the documentation of their outcome.

Some 700 dolphins washed up dead on French beaches over the winter, figures reveal, most of them, victims of the fishing industry.
Between January and April 2018, some 700 small cetenea, most of them common dolphins and to a lesser extent harbour porpoise, were found dead on beaches on the French Atlantic coast.
“Seventy to eighty percent of them presented lesions compatible with an accidental death after being caught in fishing gear,” Olivier Van Canneyt, biologist at the Observatoire Pelagis — a research centre dedicated to the conservation of marine mammals and birds — told Euronews.
Cuts from fishing nets, amputated fins, broken rostrums or asphyxiations were some of the signs that their deaths followed them being inadvertently caught by fishing vessels.

Florida’s southwest coast, a ribbon of inlets and barrier islands normally brimming with wildlife, has become a red tide slaughterhouse this summer.
Dead fish by the thousands have clogged inlets and canals. Since Sunday, 10 dead Goliath grouper, the massive reef fish that can live four decades or more, have floated to the surface. At least 90 sea turtles have been found stranded as the tide stretches well into nesting season. And Tuesday, as hundreds of residents packed a standing-room-only Cape Coral yacht club to hear about the federal government’s efforts to deal with water conditions, a dead manatee washed up at a nearby boat ramp.
The list goes on: earlier this month the carcass of a whale shark was found on a Sanibel beach with red tide in its muscles, liver, intestines and stomach. Hundreds of double-breasted cormorants, brown pelicans and other seabirds have been sickened or died.
Coupled with a massive blue-green algae bloom that spread across Lake Okeechobee and snaked down the Caloosahatchee River in June, the dire conditions have infuriated businesses and residents, and drawn national attention to the normally quiet tourist towns.
“This is horrific what we’re enduring now, but it needs to be a wake-up call to people that clean water is important to more than just wildlife,” said Heather Barron, a veterinarian and research director at Sanibel’s CROW Clinic wildlife rescue center, which began treating poisoned birds as early as October. “As the person dealing with all these hundreds of dying animals, I’m upset.”

Gulls have been dropping from the sky at Turtle Lake, leading to an unsettling feeling for locals and campers coming across the dead young birds.
Suzy Fey Pilat has found dozens of the birds lying around the beaches of the lake, located about 240 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon. She’s also watched as the birds have fallen from the sky.
“It feels like you’re in a horror movie. It’s crazy.”
She said two weeks ago, forecasts called for a storm and winds as high as 100 kilometres an hour. While winds didn’t reach that level, she says shortly after that storm, she began finding dead birds on the beach.
“Every day, since the first day, we were finding 17, 18, 19, 20 dead ones,” she said.
“They’re dying everywhere.”

People in one Wichita neighborhood found hundreds of dead fish in their community lake on Thursday.
“Yesterday, the lake was covered with them. Today, the winds have brought them over to this corner,” said Greg Cannon.
Cannon’s backyard faces the lake. He said he was letting the dogs out on Thursday near 21st and Maize Road when he noticed a stench in the air and something floating in the water.
“I didn’t really see that many dead fish, but a couple hours later they were all over the place,” Cannon said. “It smells a little bit like a fish market.”
Neighbor Al Thimmesch echoed Cannon’s statement.
“I was going to come out and fish and the next thing I see is dead fish,” said Thimmesch. “I hate to see them floating, besides they stink.”
A fishery biologist with the Kansas Wildlife & Parks Department said a fish kill isn’t uncommon in a small body of water. The biologist said a reduction in oxygen triggered by an algae bloom may have caused the kills, but he is not certain.
The Aberdeen HOA president, who is in charge of maintaining the lake, added white perch, a non-native species, could also be to blame.

Thousands of dead fish that washed up behind Assembly Square in Somerville earlier this week likely died of natural causes, marine officials said.
Photos taken by Douglas McRay Daniels showed a countless number of fish washed up near the commuter rail tracks at Assembly Station.
Water samples taken in the area did not show any problems with oil or hazardous materials, indicating the deaths were not pollution-related, according to the Department of Environmental Protection.
The Division of Marine Fisheries determined that the deaths were likely due to natural causes, such as aggregations for spawning, predator avoidance, localized oxygen depletion, and rising water temperatures.

Settlers reported that on Sunday all was well and that it was yesterday morning Monday when the odor and fish floating caused alarm, therefore fear that the problem is due to a chemical.
Inhabitants said they refrain from eating fish from the lagoon of Chantengo until you have information that is what is causing this phenomenon in the lagoon.
Fishermen asked relevant authorities address the issue and conduct a study that determine the causes of death of fish and called on the population in general do not consume the fish until the corresponding studies have.

About 200 galahs have been found dead in the South Australian town of Burra, prompting investigations by the state’s Department for Environment and Water and the local council.
Dead birds started turning up in the historic Mid North town last Wednesday, with numbers increasing to about 200 by Monday, according to Animal Rescue and Care co-ordinator Ruth Norris.
A Facebook post featuring some of the deceased creatures by Ms Norris has been shared more than 1,600 times.
She said the birds otherwise looked healthy and it was not obvious how they had died.

’68: The year that changed everything.
Michael Hill '72 shares his freshman memories and reconnects with classmates who marched for justice with Chester Wickwire—and watched Baltimore burn.
Michael Hill '72 shares his freshman memories and reconnects with classmates who marched for justice with Chester Wickwire—and watched Baltimore burn.
By Michael Hill ’72
The banner hanging over the entrance to Levering Hall in the fall of 1968 read, “Welcome Class of 1972.” Growing up in the ’50s and ’60s, I had never seen a date that began with “7.” It seemed impossibly far into the future.
The year 1968 is considered one of the most divisive and important in our nation’s history—the subject of books and articles and documentaries, especially this year, looking back a half century. But the 500 boys/young men (Hopkins went co-ed in 1970) milling in front of Levering that September day had a different perspective. In April of that momentous year, after the Tet Offensive, around the time Martin Luther King Jr. was killed in Memphis, we had all received a letter telling us we had been admitted to Johns Hopkins University.
Most of us had walked across high school stages and gotten our diplomas and switched our tassels and posed for pictures with proud parents a few days before Robert Kennedy was shot in Los Angeles. Several weeks later we had watched the televised turmoil of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, with police beating protesters in Grant Park as shouting matches erupted inside, then packed our trunks and suitcases, our portable typewriters and clock radios, and traveled to the Alumni Memorial Residence, where each hall had one pay phone and girls had to be out of the rooms by 11 p.m. Though we had student deferments in hand, the possibility of being drafted was always in the background.
This was when freshman orientation was only a couple of days of introducing ourselves to roommates and meeting with advisors, capped off by a welcome assembly in Shriver Hall, where we were addressed by University President Lincoln Gordon and Baltimore Mayor Thomas D’Alesandro III.
The city D’Alesandro led loomed beyond the Homewood campus like the great unknown that was once imagined over the edges of the flat Earth. During that summer, I had sat around at home in Atlanta with friends who were headed to various colleges up and down the East Coast as we tried to figure out why we knew Baltimore even existed. All we could come up with was the Colts, the Orioles, and Fort McHenry.
So, I was curious. I boarded a bus for the city tour offered as part of orientation by the Chaplain’s Office. Atlanta had been the shining city on the Dixie hill of the ’60s, the showcase of the New South with its gleaming, showy office buildings and hotels and burgeoning population, unmarred by snarling dogs and fire hoses let loose on civil rights demonstrators.
The view of Baltimore out of that bus window was anything but gleaming and showy. It was bleak, depressing. I was glad to get back to the elm trees and green grass of Homewood.
Encountering Chester Wickwire
The chaplain whose office sponsored that tour was Chester Wickwire, a smiling, genial man with a crew cut and glasses and a metal cane due to a bout with polio. He was 55 in 1968. As I would come to learn, he was one of the few people on campus actively working to connect the university and the city.
“We all knew and loved Chester,” Senator Barbara Mikulski said recently. Now 82, she left her seat in the Senate last year after five terms. Those followed 10 years in the House and six years on the Baltimore City Council. Before that, she was a Catholic social worker turned community activist in East Baltimore.
“You could not be a Baltimore activist and not know Chester,” says Mikulski, who is now Homewood Professor of Public Policy at the Krieger School. “I don’t want to exaggerate my role. I was just a foot soldier, walking up Calvert Street behind people like Chester, who was one of the leaders of the faith-based civil rights movement here.”
Wickwire had brought all sorts of people to Hopkins since he arrived in 1953—from Hugh Hefner to Cesar Chavez to the gay civil rights leader Bayard Rustin, which got a Ku Klux Klan cross burned on campus. He was especially partial to jazz and folk musicians. A young Joan Baez once spent a week in Levering Hall working on an album, playing gigs in the city. In 1959, he had integrated the Fifth Regiment Armory with a concert by Dave Brubeck and Maynard Ferguson. The next year, Duke Ellington appeared at Shriver Hall, and then he, Wickwire, and some students went to the Blue Jay Café on St. Paul Street for a bite to eat. They were refused admission because of Ellington’s race. A furor erupted. A fire destroyed the café soon after. The cause was never determined.
The centerpiece of Wickwire’s work to connect the campus and the city was his tutoring program, started in 1958, that sent Hopkins students into some of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods to work with youngsters. That program still exists today as the Johns Hopkins Tutorial Project.
Wickwire had made his way from a religiously fundamentalist home in rural Colorado to Yale Divinity School, and at Hopkins offered theology courses that interested me. But during orientation, I had a brief talk with a top professor in the philosophy department—my tentative major—who discouraged me from taking anything from Wickwire. So, I never did.
That conversation revealed the uneasy relationship between the university and Wickwire. For decades, he was not technically a Johns Hopkins employee. At that time, his salary was paid by the YMCA, which had built Levering and ran its programs. Hopkins academicians were only too happy to turn over the functions of a student union to this outside entity. But some of them could become disturbed when Wickwire brought controversy to their intellectual turf or, even worse, threatened to invade it. Though he had a doctorate from Yale, he had not jumped through the academic hoops strewn along the tenure track so, in the view of some, his courses must not be worthy.
Watching Baltimore Burn
The big blow that 1968 delivered to the city came after King’s assassination when black Baltimore erupted in riots, one of a dozen cities with a violent response to that devastating death. Though many now see those riots as a critical turning point for the city—the moment white flight accelerated to levels that essentially ended one phase of Baltimore history—at the time they were just another blip on the crowded radar screen of 1968’s news events.
“I think the attitude of a lot of people was, ‘What took so long?’” notes Matthew Crenson, professor emeritus of political science. A Baltimore native who graduated from Hopkins in 1963 and joined the faculty in 1969, Crenson viewed the riots from Washington—which had also erupted—where he was working at the Brookings Institution.
“By that time, you had already had riots in New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, and many other cities before King was killed,” he says. In fact, as Crenson points out in his 2017 book Baltimore: A Political History, just a few weeks before King’s killing, Reader’s Digest had run an article titled “How Baltimore Fends off Riots.”
“It credited these satellite police stations that tamped things down at the neighborhood level,” he says. “It almost worked.”
My first trip to Baltimore from Atlanta was just a few weeks after those riots, to check out the northernmost school that had accepted me. I didn’t give the riots a second thought; if you ruled out cities that had seen such violence you would eliminate most of the country’s urban areas. What I mainly remember: Neil Grauer ’69 giving me a campus tour; later, walking by the baseball field dorkily overdressed in a powder blue sports coat when a pitcher launched a ball right at me, which was stopped by the chain link fence inches from my head; the person next to me explaining the rules as I stood in the rain watching my first lacrosse game, with Joe Cowan ’69 leading a 15-7 win over Army.
When I got to Hopkins in the fall, upperclassmen told me of standing on the roof of Maryland Hall and watching Baltimore burn.
I left campus and went downtown. I saw this little kid standing there and, behind him, these tanks rolling through the streets. That’s something I will never forget.”
John Guess Jr. ’71
John Guess Jr. was a freshman that April, one of a handful of African-American faces on a campus that was beginning to grow more diverse. “I left campus and went downtown,” he remembered. “I saw this little kid standing there and, behind him, these tanks rolling through the streets. That’s something I will never forget.”
Guess said Wickwire had encouraged him to get involved in the city and connected him with students at Morgan State University which led to his becoming student coordinator of Baltimore’s Congress of Racial Equality.
“It was getting to know people like that had led me to head downtown,” Guess says. “I wasn’t near the actual riots, but I did see those tanks. Then I had to head back because of the curfew.”
Once back on the campus that would elect him student body president two years later, Guess found apprehension; “It was like everyone was at a coastal resort and a hurricane was coming. People were wondering where it was going to hit, whether it was going to reach their hotel.”
Baltimore was not a foreign land to Ted Rohrlich. Though he came to Hopkins from Dallas—he and Guess were freshman roommates—Rohrlich had lived in Baltimore for four years, through his sophomore year in high school. He also walked down Charles Street during the riots, but the police stopped him around 25th Street.
“I remember seeing smoke in the distance and feeling completely disconnected from what was going on,” he says.
As a sophomore, Bruce Drake was living off campus when the riots broke out. “I was in an apartment at Calvert and 29th. We climbed up to the roof of the building and the whole southern horizon was glowing with fire.”
Drake was editor of The Johns Hopkins News-Letter (the student newspaper) and says his memories are mostly confined to its Gatehouse office. But looking back at issues from those months, he saw that many stories were about the city and the aftermath of the riots.
One involved Maryland Governor Spiro Agnew, a Republican who had been the choice of moderates and liberals when elected two years earlier. A few days after the riots ended, Agnew called a meeting of more than 125 of Baltimore’s African-American leaders, people who had spent most of the previous days on the streets, urging calm. Agnew dressed them down for losing control of their community, for giving in to the black militants. Wickwire was one of a number of civil rights leaders who signed a letter denouncing Agnew’s remarks.
“It was supposed to be a full-page ad in the city’s newspapers, but The Baltimore Sun refused to run it,” Drake said. “So, we wrote about that. And we ran it in the News-Letter.”
But mainly memories are of a campus that distanced itself from the city during the riots and their aftermath. Rohrlich contrasted the reaction a year later, when police came into the dorms and made three drug arrests. Students poured out, surrounded police cars, and were tear-gassed and Maced. A march on President Gordon’s house followed.
“The attitude was, ‘How dare you mix the city with the campus? We’re untouchable. We can smoke dope if we want to. The laws don’t apply here,’” Rohrlich says. “It underscored the feeling that Hopkins was supposed to be a special place removed from the city, really an ivory tower.”
Bill Leslie, the Hopkins historian of science now working on a history of the university, said it was different on the medical campus because the riots came so close. “You see a lot of reaction there, various programs to try to connect to the community,” he says. “But not much at Homewood.”
“There’s a great story that Hopkins should tell about 1968,” Mikulski says. “A lot of medical institutions left the city, but Hopkins, along with Mercy Hospital and the University of Maryland, stayed. They could have left. That’s not to say their presence has been without controversy, but they didn’t leave and that’s been very important to the city.”
50 Years Later
A month after the riots, 1968 left another significant mark on Baltimore. On May 17, nine Catholic activists—including brother priests Philip and Daniel Berrigan—protested the Vietnam War by taking draft records from a Selective Service office in Catonsville and burning them in the parking lot. The media had been alerted, and the event attracted nationwide coverage.
A few weeks into my first semester, the trial of what had become known as the Catonsville Nine began downtown. There was a march from Wyman Park to the federal courthouse. From the perspective of Atlanta, anti-war demonstrations had been like the World Series—something that happened in other cities far away. But now here was one on my doorstep. I joined the march—it was on October 7, my 18th birthday—completing a personal political journey through 1968, from a Goldwater family, to a Rockefeller Republican, to walking in Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral procession wearing a McCarthy button, to supporting the Catonsville Nine.
Rohrlich remembered that demonstration for a different reason. “We must have had 40 people come in from out of town for it staying in our two-bedroom apartment. They were lying all over the place. And our landlord decided to pay us a visit that day,” he says. “We had to find another apartment.”
That November, I voted for the first time as Georgia and Kentucky were the two states that granted 18-year-olds that right then. Per instructions, I unfolded the cumbersome absentee ballot in the presence of the registrar in the basement of Shriver Hall, making my mark for Hubert Humphrey. George Wallace took Georgia’s electoral votes.
People celebrating their 50th high school reunions in 1968 had graduated in 1918 and headed off to college—or to World War I. The events of that cataclysmic year certainly played out for the rest of their lives. The same is true of the year we came to Johns Hopkins. Many of the cultural and political schisms that surfaced in 1968 continue to dominate our national conversation. The foreign policy questions raised by Vietnam have yet to be answered. The loss of King and Kennedy is still felt. In Baltimore, you can certainly draw a line between the 1968 riots and the uprising following the death of Freddie Gray in 2015.
There were also seeds planted that year that grew in unexpected ways. Spiro Agnew’s tough post-riot talk attracted the attention of Richard Nixon, who picked him as his vice president. In 1973, Agnew resigned that office, pleading nolo contendere to corruption charges in the same federal courthouse we had marched to five years before.
Tommy D’Alesandro, son of a former mayor and congressman, decided not to seek a second term in 1971 in part because of the toll the riots took on him. But his sister Nancy, who had moved to California, continued the family’s political legacy, getting elected to Congress under her married name, Pelosi, and becoming the first female Speaker of the House.
William Donald Schaefer was Baltimore’s next mayor. He made his name in large part—ironically—because of a seed nurtured by Barbara Mikulski. She was one of the prime organizers of community-based opposition to a phalanx of highways backed by Schaefer that were to crisscross Baltimore, cutting a huge swath out of black West Baltimore and the white ethnic neighborhoods of her East Baltimore, including Fell’s Point, while turning the rundown Inner Harbor into a major intersection. Federal Hill was to be leveled as a geographical impediment.
If that last gasp of Robert Moses-style urban planning had come to be—and it almost did—there would be no Harborplace, no downtown living and entertaining in Fell’s Point and Federal Hill and so many other Baltimore neighborhoods, no renaissance that made Baltimore in the ’80s what Atlanta was in the ’60s. The post-riot bleakness I saw out of the bus window in 1968 turned out to be fertile ground. Mikulski saw it then. Eventually I did, too. It’s why I’m still here 50 years later.
As for Wickwire, he never let up in his dedication to justice. Once elected head of the city’s otherwise all black Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, he was so trusted in Baltimore’s African-American community that in 1970, when some local Black Panthers were charged with serious crimes—and feared violence from the police—they arranged to surrender to him. Retiring from Johns Hopkins in 1984, Wickwire kept active until his death in 2008 at the age of 94. Wickwire kept fighting, whether the issue was apartheid in South Africa, death squads in Guatemala, or pay raises for Hopkins service workers. And the tutoring program is still going strong, though after the 1968 riots, the city students started coming to campus for their sessions.
When 1972 finally arrived, Johns Hopkins was on its third president since our freshman year. The school had admitted women undergraduates. And we were about to graduate.
Wickwire addressed our undergraduate commencement. He read a poem he wrote called “Meditations on a Journey” that included these lines:
Chaotic, broken trip
years of violence
You were routed out of bed
in the drug bust
Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos
lived when students died
at Kent and Jackson State
sell peace at the Pentagon
audition America at Washington’s Monument
face-off against the University over
Recruiting, ROTC, APL, governance
Did not stop
numbers coming up
Who didn’t want to
a headstone at Arlington?
Some of you went
into the city
Now you sing new songs…

Shaquem Griffin is the American Dream personified.
The 23-year-old was born with amniotic band syndrome, as his mother’s amniotic sac entangled his wrist while developing in the womb. As a result, he was born with an underdeveloped hand, which his parents officially had amputated when Griffin was just 4 years old due to the excruciating pain.
Growing up with one hand may have been a hindrance for many, but the Griffin family isn’t one for excuses. His father, Terry Griffin, constantly encouraged and trained Shaquem and twin brother, Shaquill, in preparation for the career path they both so desperately wanted. Today, the identical pair play for the Seattle Seahawks, with Shaquem in his rookie year after an incredible showing at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine.
Here, the Griffins chat with EBONY about their new partnership with Gillette, who’s short film chronicles the dedication, hard work and perseverance it takes to accomplish any dream under any circumstance.
How did you two come to partner with Gillette for this campaign?
Shaquem Griffin: We wanted to be part of a brand that showcases who we are, and I feel Gillette is a great brand to be with when it comes to sharing my story and show people exactly where we came from. You don’t want to be a part of something that’s not showing who you really are, and I think Gillette does an amazing job of showcasing that. It definitely shows that nothing comes easy, and that video still gives me chills when I watch it today. It really takes me back.
The short film is very powerful. What were some of your favorite moments while filming?
SG: One of my favorite parts is when we were out in the backyard working out. When I saw that part, it kind of made me get tired again [laughs]. I remember those days. Being in that backyard, trying to get that work in, there were days when you just didn’t want to do it. But, I think that was actually a highlight of my life because we were back there every single day.
Terry Griffin: Getting the chance to work with somebody else’s twins, oh man! My wife said I was having flashbacks [laughs]. I wish you could have seen those kids faces, they asked my boys, ‘so, you guys really did all this?’ We all said, ‘yeah!'” It was great.
Shaquem, What was the harshest criticism you received as an aspiring athlete with one hand? You clearly never lost your motivation, but what were some of the more biting things haters used to tell you?
SG: Mainly, they just tried to tell me what I couldn’t do. When they ask you, ‘what do you want to be,’ and I said a football player, people always said to be more realistic. As far as I’m concerned, I was being realistic! I’m going to be in the NFL, that’s going to be my profession. I was constantly told it’s not possible, that I needed to give up this football dream. People told me I might be able to get by playing high school football, but not college. I just had to take it upon myself to show people what I could really do.
Terry, What would you say is the most important thing a parent can do to keep their children’s dreams alive and keep their mental state positive?
TG: Push. Constantly push, and be right there with them. What you see now is a lot of parents trying to be friends and not parents. It’s about bringing up your kids right and going back to the old beliefs, you know? Respect your elders. When you see your neighbor getting groceries out of the car, you stop what you’re doing and go help. That’s the way I was raised, so I tried to instill that in them.
Shaquem, you recently played your first official NFL game, becoming the first player to compete on this level with one hand. Can you walk us through the emotions of getting in the game for the first time as a pro?
SG: Anxiety. A lot of anxiety. There was a lot going through my head that game, but I’ve been able to kind of calm myself down since then. Our first run had me feeling like I literally couldn’t breathe because I was so anxious. But to have the opportunity to be out there after being through everything I have, it was crazy. My heart was filled with so much emotion. Even while I was walking out on the field, I was getting goosebumps. Now that my body is becoming more accustomed to these new surroundings, it’s getting better, but even people who’ve been playing for years still get the butterflies in their stomach.
Terry, how was it for you watching Shaquem play his first game, and then seeing both of your sons on the field together on the same team?
TG: Honestly, it really hasn’t hit us yet. I found myself about a month ago asking my wife that same question, like, ‘how are we supposed to feel about all of this?’ I don’t know if we’re supposed to be jumping off the wall or break dancing, I don’t know, it just hasn’t hit yet. When it hits, we’ll let you know [laughs]!
Fair enough! Shaquem, what would you say is the best piece of advice you’ve received from any of your peers so far?
SG: K.J. [Wright] and Bobby [Wagner] do a really good job of encouraging me and staying on top of me, making sure I come in early, that I watch all the films and study the plays. Sometimes, we’ll study practice tapes together and KJ will pull me to the side and say, ‘ok, so what would you do in this scenario? How do you fill in this gap?’ It’s not a single piece of advice, but they’re helping me get acclimated to the process. Even when it comes to wins and losses, they do a good job of trying to teach me how to take all of it. You can’t think about losses for too long, you have 24 hours to think about it, live with it, and then forget it because we’re always on to the next game. When you learn from guys like that, it improves your game.
You were also featured in the new Nike campaign narrated by Colin Kaepernick. They highlighted Serena, LeBron, yourself and others. How did you become involved?
— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) September 5, 2018
SG: They reached out and arranged everything. I actually didn’t know who would all be involved, they just told me what my part of the campaign would be. If Nike calls you and asks you to be a part of something, you’re not going to say “no” to it. Nike did an amazing job, and I’m happy I was able to be a part of that moment. Trust, I was happy to get that phone call [laughs].
Speaking of Kaepernick, do the Seahawks encourage players to use that platform to share and express their beliefs outside of sports or to bring awareness to social causes?
SG: I’ve never heard them discourage anyone, but I’m also a rookie. I don’t think I have a big enough voice yet. Even at practice, if I want to talk trash, Bobby and K.J. tell me to be quiet and they’ll handle the trash talking for me [laughs]. I still have to put some work in to build my platform to a point where I can do more, but right now I’m just focused on being a good teammate and a great player. | <urn:uuid:76ebfd5e-4cdf-4e4a-9e1e-8a3d2cafd9c9> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://staging.ebony.com/ebony/shaquem-griffin-ebony-exclusive | 2019-06-16T04:56:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627997731.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616042701-20190616064701-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.983101 | 1,684 | [

6 postoperative cares you should take at home after dental surgery
After any treatment that is performed, you must have specific and general care for good recovery, especially if it is a surgery. In this way we make sure that the results are the desired ones. We give you 6 basic rules that you must follow after performing a dental implant.
You must wait at least 2 hours to eat or drink something. After this period of time you should have a soft and cold diet for the rest of the day. Avoid chewing on the area of the operation. It is important to remember that no alcoholic beverage should be taken, because it affects the good coagulation, thus delaying the healing of the wound
2. Dental Cleaning:
Do not brush your teeth or rinse immediately after the operation, for this you must wait 24 hours, and after that, you can make gentle rinses with the solution recommended by the dentist and brush the teeth that have not been operated.
4. Smoked During Recovery:
It is clear that quitting smoking can be difficult for most people, however it is important to know that the likelihood of complication in smokers is higher, because tobacco smoke irritates tissues, delays healing and increases the risk of infection in the wound. So if you are thinking of performing this operation, it is preferable that you leave it before the date of your dental appointment. If, on the other hand, you have already undergone surgery, you will reduce your consumption of cigarettes if you want your treatment to be worthwhile.
5. Oral Hygiene:
Oral hygiene is extremely important even if you do not have any dental implant. However, with surgery, the care that must be taken increases. The use of dental cleaning tools as the toothbrush, dental floss, among others, should be used rigorously to avoid food stuck in implants that can form bacteria.
6. Control Appointments:
Although you feel that the surgery was a success, it is essential to attend the appointments scheduled by the implantologist, so you will ensure that the results are as expected. In addition to these recommendations it is important that you follow your doctor’s recommendations so that your implants are a success.

For every group that is oppressed, one or more other groups are privileged in relation to it. In Undoing Privilege, Bob Pease argues that privilege, as the other side of oppression, has been given insufficient attention in both critical theories and in the practices of social change. As a result, dominant groups have been allowed to reinforce their dominance. Undoing Privilege explores each of the main sites of privilege, from Western dominance, class elitism and white and patriarchal privilege to the less well examined sites of heterosexual and able-bodied privilege, examining the interconnections between them. The book's analysis points out that while the vast majority of people may be oppressed on at least one form of stratification, many are also privileged on another. Pease also demonstrates that members of privileged groups can develop a self-critical engagement with their own dominant position, and explores both the potential and the limitations of such individuals becoming allies against oppression and their own unearned privilege.This is an essential book for all of those who are concerned about developing theories and practices for a socially just world.

A portion of Route 66 in Elkhart is being highlighted by a new interpretive statue depicting Shirley Temples visit to the House by the Side of the Road Café in 1938. The sign will provide a synopsis of the historic roadway as well as give traveling tourists a great way to save their memories by taking a photograph with the different statues.
In a press statement by the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway group led by Bill Kelly, who serves as the Executive Director, the interpretive statues and corresponding wayside panels are in the process of being installed in nine Route 66 communities along the famous highway in Illinois.
"Statues tell the story of The Road in a way that is unique and unexpected by visitors. They also serve as a fun photo opportunity," said Kelly.
The Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway in the past has also worked with community partners to develop a series of 31 wayside exhibits and 14 experience hubs that have already been installed for the enhancement of the Route 66 experience for the traveler.
Peggy Lee, with the Elkhart Historical Society, says the statue and informational exhibit signage will be put in an accessible area and will be highly visible for both locals and visitors.
"The items will be displayed in the lot to the west of the Village Hall, across from Elkhart’s "Heritage Corner" and compliments our ongoing initiative to make Elkhart a special stop for Rt. 66 tourists," wrote Lee.
According to Lee The Illinois Route 66 Heritage Project determined Elkhart’s theme to be"1930s and 1940s restaurants and gas stations in Elkhart on old Rt. 66," focusing on Shirley Temple’s stop at The House by the Side of the Road restaurant in 1938 and the Shell Station and roof top garden. The metal silhouette statue of Shirley Temple ordering lunch from a waitress is 55.7" x 69.4" and similar to those already on display of the Marx Brothers in Joliet and the picnicking family at Funks Grove.
Lee admits the Elkhart Historical Society is still raising funds to install the 326 pound statue.
"The cost of the metal statue is covered by FHWA and the Illinois Office of Tourism. Elkhart is responsible for the installation of the statue. Because of it’s size we have found that we need to find donors to help with the cost of installation. Elkhart’s Historical Society has provided a donation, but we need $500 more and need to ask for any help that the public can provide," wrote Lee.
Lee says plans are underway to host a ceremony but a date hasn’t been announced at this time.
"Donations would be more than appreciated and, if you request, recognized in our publicity. In addition, those who contribute to the campaign will be invited and be an honored guest at the ribbon cutting ceremony in October. Donations can be sent to: Village of Elkhart, PO Box 20, Elkhart IL 62634 (or put it in the water bill drop box at Village Hall) and mark it for "Shirley Temple Acct # 4022," wrote Lee.
The Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway coordinated the project, which was funded through grants from the Federal Highway Administration's National Scenic Byway Program and the Illinois Office of Tourism.
Other towns that have statues and panels include: Pontiac: Motorcycle Police – this exhibit, located at the old Illinois State Police headquarters in Pontiac and tells the story of the beginning of the Illinois State Police motorcycle patrol; McLean: Dixie Gas Attendant – interprets Illinois oldest truck stop, The Dixie Truckers Home, opened in 1928 and still in operation today. The historic McLean Depot is also featured and Sherman: Wayside Park – depicts a picnic during the heyday of Route 66 at one of the few remaining wayside parks along Route 66. | <urn:uuid:01bdc5f6-d9e0-4a39-81ae-27f82be3d942> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.lincolncourier.com/article/20140828/NEWS/140829526 | 2019-06-19T19:22:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999040.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619184037-20190619210037-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.959572 | 803 | [

Desmond Morris Syndrome (DSM), where story-telling that incorporates evolutionary theory is better accepted than the basic principles of biology and levels of biological organization
social priming doesn’t begin with a visual stimulus or a hormone like oxytocin in mammals. It begins with gene activation by a sensory stimulus
There is no direct link from visual or auditory stimuli that would explain any likelihood that spectral stimuli could classically condition the response to nutrient chemical associated with food odors.
“The findings also provide a framework for understanding fascinating evolutionary questions, such as why humans of different ethnicities have distinct facial features and how these are embedded in our genome.”

This is how the hell you win in this game. After parting ways with Atlantic and (subsequently) dropping a slew of musical firebombs, D.C.’s own Wale has found himself a new home with Warner Bros. Records. Also in partnership with Maybach Music, Folarin reportedly celebrated the new deal alongside Rick Ross, Warner Bros. co-chairman/COO Tom Corson, Warner Music Group CEO Stephen Cooper, Spotify’s head of urban Carl Chery and several other big label figures.
Said Wale on the new venture (source):
This is an exciting step for me. I am thrilled to be at a company that is willing to showcase my artistry, while supporting my entrepreneurial spirit. I felt their passion, commitment and enthusiasm from day one. They believed in my vision wholeheartedly, and I am ready to show and prove.
I, for one, am very excited to see what Wale has in store for 2018 and beyond. Congrats.

The budding friendship between your new baby and your pet most often falls somewhere between hilarious and heartwarming. While there are sure to be slip-ups to mend and messes to pick up along the way, it’s all well and good so long as you keep their relationship clean where it counts. Most messes are par for the course, but there are some scenarios you should keep in mind with the help of these cleaning tips to keep ensure baby safety.
Pet’s Eating Area
One simple thing to be conscious of is the cleanliness of your pet’s eating area. Let’s face it, our pets may be messier eaters than even our finger-mashing little rascals. Pets that eat dry food are particularly likely to crunch their food away from their bowls and spread germ-ridden crumbs all over the surrounding floor—they just can’t help it. Since your little one is either already or soon to be on the move (and close to the ground), this pet problem calls for regular sweeping and disinfecting. For hard surfaces, turn to the Lysol® All Purpose Cleaner Trigger to get rid of potentially harmful bacteria in the area.
Pet’s Dirty Toys
Another potentially harmful circumstance is your baby getting their hands on your pet’s dirty toys. Your pet probably sticks their nose in many places you’d rather them not—so you certainly don’t want your child playing with their unclean toys that can be covered with germs.
For hard plastic or rubber toys, use our Lysol® Disinfecting Wipes to fight bacteria and viruses and help keep them from harming your child. Wipe down the dirty toys, rinse them thoroughly with water, and then dry them off before sending your pet running around to fetch any of them. With fabric toys, you’ll want to hand wash them or run them through your washer to kill the germs.

I walk the square now, the raindrops pitter patter, some from my eyes now, but it doesn’t matter; I had to watch a little tragedy.
It can happen, when two lives intermingle, pulls the heartstrings, until a single tear is formed, then others come from me.
It’s when love blooms and you feel the magic, that the heart can be squeezed. It can be tragic;
Then, you raise your eyes for comfort please.
…and it comes in a soft cascade, finding this comfort saves a fool like me.
…and I can see now, so poorly at the first, that it’s a blessing that it’s not the worst thing that could befall a simple wretch like me.
I will endure now, all sadness overtaken, stand above the godforsaken trembling gnashing thing that I can be.
The sun’s come out now, and the rain is stopping. All will be well now and my heart is pumping.
A little stumble in the road of life for me. I see the answer, it was right there before me.
Can’t wait to tell her and give her our release. | <urn:uuid:4353bd23-423c-4bca-aea1-a73c62c648aa> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://kirkland4.wordpress.com/tag/bill-kirkland/ | 2019-06-26T16:53:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000367.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626154459-20190626180459-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.923429 | 257 | [

Four Blair soccer players recently received recognition from the Lincoln Journal Star when the publication released its Class B all-state honors.
Freshman Kaedon Anderson led the honorees, making his class' all-state team as a midfielder. He led the Bears with 12 goals and 10 assists this spring.
Three Blair girls, meanwhile, earned Class B honorable mention in the Journal Star. Senior Cayla Nielsen, and juniors Sophia Grantham and Danielle Thompson, were recognized.
Together, those Bears finished a win shy of the district finals. The BHS boys, meanwhile, fell in the district finals to Crete. | <urn:uuid:b461d066-043b-44f1-8a77-468dc4c0d1fd> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.enterprisepub.com/public/blair-soccer-players-receive-all-state-honors/article_5ae50db6-8270-11e9-b98f-5fc3ce76e808.html | 2019-06-16T09:02:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998084.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616082703-20190616104703-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.959537 | 128 | [

Just because a rainy day prevents outdoor physical activity doesn't mean it has to drain all of the fun out of physical education. Many indoor gym games that children can play help improve their coordination, speed, agility and ability to follow rules just as well as any outside game or activity. Certain games traditionally played outside can be modified and played in a gym rather than on the grass or blacktop, and introducing new games can encourage students to participate.
Set up a game of dodge ball inside the gym to help students practice their hand-eye coordination as they throw and catch the ball, as well as their speed and agility as they try to dodge it.
Use a bouncy rubber ball as the dodge ball. Divide the students into two teams. Have each team wear different color PE bibs to distinguish who is on each side. Flip a coin to see which team starts with the ball.
Have a student from the starting team throw the ball at an opposing team member's legs; the ball should not be thrown hard and it should only be aimed at the lower body. If the student is hit in the legs, he is out and must leave the game until the next round. If he catches the ball before it hits the ground, the student who threw it is out. If no one is hit or no one catches the ball, the first person to grab the ball has the chance throw it at an opposing team member. Allow students to run around the designated area in the gym to avoid being hit. The first team to eliminate all of the other team's players wins.
Red Light, Green Light
Modify red light, green light for indoor play to help students improve their speed and endurance as they try to get as far as they can on a green light, as well as their ability to follow directions.
Select one student to play the traffic light. Have the students line up on one side of the gym and have the traffic light stand on the opposite side of the gym with her back to the other students.
Instruct the traffic light to randomly call out red light and green light. Have the rest of the students start running toward the traffic light when green light is called and stop when red light is called. If anyone moves after red light is called, send them back to the starting line. The student who makes it to the traffic light first gets the be the traffic light next.
Prisoner of War
Help students enhance their speed and agility as they try to free their teammates with an indoor game of prisoner of war.
Select two teams. Have each team wear different color PE bibs to distinguish sides. Select a member from each team to be the first prisoner of war in the opposing team's jail. Set up two cones at each end of the gym to designate the jail area for each team. Have each team start on opposite sides of the gym in front of their jail.
Instruct both teams to run toward the other team's jail in an attempt to free their fellow team members. Anyone tagged must go to jail. Rescuers who make it to the other team's jail untagged are safe as long as they stay there. They can only free one prisoner at a time and must choose the best time to attempt an escape with their team member who is prisoner. The first team to free all of its prisoners wins.
Things You'll Need
Bouncy rubber dodge ball
Two different color sets of PE bibs
Explain the rules and designate the play area in the gym before you start each game.
Instruct all students to follow safety precautions when playing indoors. | <urn:uuid:036997e5-a1ec-4418-a5dd-6c8ef141963a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.livestrong.com/article/155804-indoor-gym-games/ | 2019-06-16T08:35:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998084.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616082703-20190616104703-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.965416 | 730 | [

Makati, Philippines, September 21, 2016 — Students of Makati Elementary School will now be more road safety conscious during their commute thanks to Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), marketer of Caltex fuels and lubricants. As part of CPI’s 2016 Week of Caring (WOC) program, CPI employees in partnership with Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) conducted a road safety education program with roleplaying activities and outdoor games to teach safety in a child-friendly format.
Held on Day 3 of this year’s WOC, which is the annual corporate volunteerism program of CPI, the seminar targeted grade five and six students whose parents bring them to school using motorcycles. Studies show that motorcycle riders more than 50 percent risk of figuring in an accident.
Spreading the CPI culture of safety and dedication to fostering safer communities, 34 CPI volunteers participated in the activities especially in the role playing games to make the learning activity more meaningful and fun for the students. The students also received motorcycle helmets to ensure safer travel as part of the application of the program.
“At Chevron, we place such a high value on safety that it has become a real way of life for the employees. Road safety procedures are strictly practiced in the office especially with the Chevron riding technique training. Thus we are so happy to be able to spread this culture of safety to children during the Week of Caring,” said Atty. Raisa Bautista, CPI Manager for Policy, Government and Public Affairs
“It is essential that we instill obedience and discipline to the students at their young age because as they grow old, they will bring with them their knowledge on basic road safety procedures.” said Mr. Alberto Suansing, Philippine Global Road Safety Partnership Secretary-General.
Week of Caring is a five-day program that advocates volunteerism among its employees and business partners. CPI has been implementing the WOC in the Philippines for the past nine years.

Late last night, the creator of the Shenmue series Yu Suzuki went on Reddit to answer fan’s questions about Shenmue III and his career. We would like to thank the Shenmue Dojo for compiling all the questions and answers into one post! You can read all of Suzuki-san’s responses below:
Q: How accurately will Shenmue III be compared to your original vision of the game or will there be major compromises?
YS: There are a total of 11 chapters that make up the whole story. Over the past 14 years I originally planned for there to 4 or five games to the series. If at all possible, I would still like to realize the full story of 11 chapters.
Q: Will Shenmue III enable PayPal or a means to donate to the project when the Kickstarter ends? Projects like Star Citizen gained tens of millions in donations by allowing this.
YS: I am still thinking about it, but have not decided yet.
Q: Shenmue is a Peach Blossom tree correct? Could you tell us what type of tree exactly?
I would like to plant one.
YS: It is more like a cherry blossom tree, that blooms its flowers in the springtime. It is actually a tree I made up for the story.
Q: Hello Suzuku-san! Will a day-to-night cycle and weather system return to Shenmue 3? They added so much to the atmosphere of previous games. Thank you Suzuki-san!
YS: Of course!
Q: Will you reassure us that Ryo’s face will be changed back to the Ryo we all know and love when Shenmue 3 releases, and not this impostor wearing Ryo’s jacket that you have on Kickstarter? That is NOT our Ryo!
YS: I am not happy with Ryo’s face. It will be the face I have in my mind in the end.
Q: Will the gameplay in Shenmue III be more contemporary or will it be more in line with past Shenmue iterations?
YS: As for III, I would like to make a less stressful user interface, that will feature more usability. From now on, I will make that a focus.
Q: Yu are my hero!
Shenmue is credited with introducing the QTE. Given the significant advances in gaming systems and technology over the last decade, are you confident that you can show the gaming world something we have not seen before?
YS: Thank you very much.
Q: Will we see any capsule toys based on Ape Escape or any of the Sony franchise in Shenmue 3?
YS: I have not decided the capsule toys, so please keep your ideas coming.
Q: Have you ever consider telling the rest of the tale for Shenmue in a book if the opportunity to make Shenmue III never came up?
YS: Yes, I have but if I did do that, it would give away the end of the story, and I thought that would be a big minus.
Q: What was your inspiration for the story behind the first two Shenmue games?
YS: When I was making Virtua Fighter, I went location hunting in China. I was very inspired by Chinese martial arts. That very well may have been the beginning.
Q: Will practicing moves make a return in Shenmue 3 along with the FREE battle system? A lot of fans feel not being able to practice moves was big piece missing in Shenmue 2, and I also personally loved being able to practice and make the moves stronger. It really makes you feel as if you are learning marital arts and then performing them in a skill-based actual battle feels very satisfying.
YS: I want to do it yes!
Q: Will players have access to both the Japanese and English voice overs for the game?
And I wanted to say thank you so much for Shenmue and Shenmue II, it brought a tear to my eye seeing those games at E3 during the Shenmue III announcement, I cannot wait. Those two games are what made me curious about Japan as a child, and I am now trying to work as a Japanese translator!
YS: I am thinking about that, yes. However it is not for sure.
It is because of fans like you, I wanted to make a sequel. Thank you very much.
Q: Will the band-aid ever come off?
YS: I am considering a special option where it could be removed.
Q: Will we see Ryo’s Journal return? Would be cool to be able to flip the pages using the PS4’s touchpad.
YS: I would like to bring back the Journal. That is an interesting idea, I will look into it. Thank you.
Q: What do you think of the current state of Japanese game development?
YS: I see the share of mobile games increasing, the budgets of games decreasing. It will be harder to express a game’s vision.
I would hope the console and PC markets gain more popularity.
Q: Any possibility of a bicycle finally being added to Shenmue 3? Thank you so much again, Yu!
YS: There is a 60 horsepower bike in Shenmue 1. For Shenmue, 3 I was thinking about something with 1 horsepower.
Q: Will character polls compromise your artistic vision?
YS: I really want to get everyone’s opinion on the characters. I have something in mind that won’t break the world immersion.
Q: In Suzuki-san’s opinion, what is the essence of arcade games? Are those influences in Shenmue?
YS: With an arcade game, you are restricted to a 3 minute window to express what the game is. That is how I made games for the longest time. I wanted to create a game that could be played at a more leisurely pace, so I created what ended up being Shenmue.
Q: Yu, are you really going to be signing your autograph on the illustration for the $300 kickstarter signed collectors edition? So far there is almost 2000 backers, that is a lot of illustrations to sign!
YS: Of course I will write them all myself!
Q: Will Shenmue 3 have any sort of multiplayer component? Perhaps Co-op or a versus mode?
YS: I am thinking about something that would resemble that.
Q: Do you have any more details to share about the stretch goals? It’s not clear to me what a “Rapport System” or “Character Perspective System” entails.
YS: They are new systems, so naturally they need new names. The Rapport System will govern changes in Shenhua’s actions depending on your conversations with or actions towards her. The “Character Perspective System” will highlight different characters personalities as they go through the story.
Q: What will Ryo do to earn money in Shenmue 3?
As great and engrossing as the story and gameplay were in Shenmue 1 and 2, I (and many others) really really liked the forklift driving. It was like I could learn a new (video game) skill, get good at it, and putter around the docks like a badass.
YS: There will be part time jobs that will be indicative of those you would find in China. In the Stretch goals there will also be the old favorites.
Q: Do you have any dogs or cats?
YS: 3 yorkshire terriers and a turtle.
Q: Love your work! You are a pioneer in this industry! As for my question:
How much game elements/features will we be missing in the game if the campaign doesn’t reach the $5 million mark?
YS: I will say this: if we reach the $5 mil mark, one of the things I really want to do with Shenmue 3 will become a reality.
At $10 million, it will truly have the features of an open world.
Q: Who would win a fight between Ryo and Akira?
YS: Akira! Akira is up to 5 now, and Ryo is still on 3.
Q: Can we expect more duck racing in Shenmue III? That was the best easter egg I’ve ever seen in a video game.
YS: I would love it.
Q: How was it working with mega64?
YS: It was really fun. I would love to do it again.
I hope they pitch in for the replica Ryo jacktet!
Q: Will there be forklift gameplay in Shenmue III?
YS: Look for it in the Stretch Goals!
Q:Given Shenmue 2’s ending and previous items found within the series; will swordplay enter gameplay at all? What about the story, can we expect Ryo to use a sword at some point?
YS: I can’t answer that.
Q: Do you have a favorite game that you’ve developed other than Shenmue?
YS: I had fun making all the games I worked on, and can’t say one was better than another. Boring answer I know, but it really is true.
Q:I only have one statement. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that Shenmue is one of the greatest game series of all time. And one quick question, what can we expect for surprises in the 3rd installment without spoiling the storyline at all?
YS: How could I do that? Sorry, gotta pass. Thank you very much though!
Q: I’ve always wondered, why did you set the game in the 1980s rather than present day?
YS: I wanted put forward the differences in culture and values between the two periods.
Q: (Suzuki-san, thank you for coming today! Shenmue is the reason I came to Japan. Those living towns and people you showed in your games were so natural and real, that I wanted to see it for myself. So, now I am in my fourth year of living in Japan.
What I’d like to ask is, if you had billions of yen, what would your dream Shenmue be?
Also, were there any features or gameplay you liked that didn’t make it into Shenmue 1 or 2?)
YS: One where the player could live in that world. A second life.
Q: I have two important questions for you:
Do you know where I can find some sailors?
Would you like to try a game of Lucky Hit?
YS: Yes, but not right now.
Q: love the music from Shenmue, if anything kept me thinking about Shenmue from time to time during these 10+ years it was the music. Was is your favorite piece from the soundtrack? Thank you for bringing Shenmue to our lives, I can’t thank you enough.
YS: Of course I love both the Shenmue and Shenhua themes, and all of them really, but the one that really sticks with me is the Tomato Mart.
Q: Will there be more funding tiers added to the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter, specifically between the $500 and $3000 tier?
Q: Shenmue 3 is just the start. How successful does the game need to be for us to get Shenmue 4 and so on until the saga is complete?
YS: If the fans are not happy with 3 there will not be a 4. So I please hope we can together make this game the best it can be.
Q: What Sega console is your favourite and why?
YS: The Dreamcast. It has really good balance. I was involved with the hardware as well, so it had a lot of meaning for me.
Q: Suzuki-San…welcome to the fantasy zone! It’s finally happening. Any plans on more arcade games within Shenmue III?
YS: I plan on making plans.
Q: Why do you create?
YS: Why does one climb the mountain?
The shark cannot breath when it does not swim.
Q: Any info on the stretch goals for Choubu and Bailu village?
YS: Choubu is a riverside village with lots of shops, souvenir stores, hotels and temples. The quests in this village should be very enjoyable, I think.
Bailu is the village where Shenhua was raised and also a place that Ryo’s father, Iwao, had visited when he was younger. Here as well the quests will play an important role as Ryo and Shenhua start their journey.
Q: Are all the towns listed in the Kickstarter stretch goals in the game already, or are the stretch goals only there as a means to help give them more features and spice?
YS: They are there, but with more powered up through the stretch goals.
Q: Will Ryo ever go back to Japan?
YS: Not in 3.
Q: Who is your favorite Shenmue character?
YS: It has always been Shenhua.
Q: Are you still involved in any programming activities?
YS: I still write algorithms, logic verification, and make simple prototypes.
Q: Do you play airsoft, paintball, or anything similar?
YS: I think it was Afterburner that I really got into airsoft. The office floor was covered with plastic BBs. Yeah, the Berretta 93R rocks. I put a real hunting scope on that one.
Q: Are you at all a fan of Anime? If so, what are your favourites?
YS: Sure, but its all pretty old stuff.
Q: Will the game take advantage of the virtual reality goggles on PS4 and PC?
YS: Right now, there are no plans for a vr system compatibility, but I love the idea of using it to peer into the world of Shenmue.
Q: When creating Shenmue 3, will you use any assets at all from 1 & 2? Or do you have to start all over from scratch because SEGA still owns the first two games?
YS: The assets from 1 & 2 will get a lot of use.
As you can see, there’s a lot to take in here but the most interesting bit from the AMA is the part where Suzuki-san says that $10 million is needed in order to truly experience an open world. What are your thoughts on Yu Suzuki’s responses?

Today we were working in the Lalitpur District to the southwest of Kathmandu, again in a team consisting of our veterinarian Dr Umesh Mandal, the SPCA Nepal, Nepal Veterinary Association and senior veterinary students, as well as government staff from the Domestic Livestock Office.
The drive through Lalitpur illustrates how the older multistory buildings are usually the worst hit by the earthquakes. The road up to Ghusel is a long, twisting mountain track that passes many small villages, hamlets and isolated dwellings perched in what would normally pass as ridiculous locations in more level countries. Incredibly steep slopes meet at narrow ridges and spurs where people have scratched out a life. The government staff explain that from one area of mountain sides two tankers of milk are collected and trucked to the city each day from the scattered farmers’ animals.
The main village we stop at it is a fifty-fifty mix of low standing buildings and rubble. Temporary shelters have been built for people and animals. After visiting and checking animals at different locations here, mostly water buffalo and mostly only minor issues, the team breaks into three to cover the widely spread-out cases that are the reason we are here. While medical supplies are sorted we watch a landslip in a not-so-distant mountain side and wonder what else we will see today. One team has over an hour’s trek before them to some injured water buffalo. Another team takes the 4wd down the mountain side. We go with Dr Umesh and the government vehicle.
Not long on the journey higher into the mountains a hissing sound erupts from a rear tyre. By the time the driver finds a place to stop (in the middle of the narrow road) the tyre is completely flat. ‘It is OK, we have a spare’, they reassure us. I can see the spare and it is well passed its best and we are well passed a good road on which to feel comfortable using it. The government staff stay to fix the wheel while we begin walking, later getting picked up by motorbike the rest of the way to where a water buffalo has a broken leg.
On a steep spur with a shoulder barely wide enough for a couple of buildings, a family has lost its home and animal shed. Yet they have already built a shelter for the two water buffaloes and are working on something for themselves. Local children have gathered (from mostly not too near) to watch the proceedings as the splint is removed from one buffalo, the original cast checked, splint renewed and additional medication given. The other buffalo is also helped. Supplements and medication are given to the farmer. Medicines for cows and water buffalo, particularly IV fluids, are expensive as so much is needed. It is also harder to carry all that you may need.
The government vehicle arrives and we depart and make about 2km before we hear a new hissing sound. With no safe place to stop and no spare, the driver continues another 5 minutes until we get to a hamlet where the residents are constructing a new home from bamboo. The road is partly covered by a land slip so there is no way to drive further without going through bamboo. The hissing continues.
The driver jumps out and pushes his finger onto the puncture. Somebody else gets a plastic bag and tries to force it into the hole. Being a veterinarian mission, what better device to do this than forceps? A villager then provides a 3” nail, which is inserted to lock the plastic in place. The puncture is fixed! Despite being below ideal pressure, amazingly the repair lasted all the way back to Kathmandu on these appalling roads with a full load when we finally left later that afternoon.
The rest of the day was devoted to water buffalo cases of varying descriptions. On one mountain side, below the ruins of the original house where the father died when the first quake felled the building, twenty water buffalo were living in a tomato greenhouse made from bamboo and plastic. The family was next to them in a similar structure.
When everyone had reassembled we were given updates on those animals treated – fractures, a rectal prolapse, lacerations and so on. We headed back down the mountain towards Kathmandu. On the outskirts a stop was made for a downed cow who was only a few days from giving birth. The temporary animals shelter (often the first thing built) stood in the middle of the ruins of what was once quite a substantial home. As darkness approached everyone worked hard to get the cow to respond. The owners lit a fire to heat water so that the IV fluids could be warmed and others helped ferry supplies from the vehicle parked back on the road. By the time we were dependent on torchlight Dr Umesh was happy the cow had come through the worse. She will be revisited (on Sunday 17th she was checked again and has recovered well).
There is still much to do, both in terms of cases not yet checked in some outer lying Districts badly affected by building collapse and road closures, as well as following up previous cases. | <urn:uuid:1285fc42-5de7-4793-b30d-962344f72332> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.treeofcompassion.org.au/clinging-to-the-mountain-sides/ | 2019-06-19T20:45:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999041.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619204313-20190619230313-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.974992 | 1,045 | [

Whenever your cat starts acting strange -- the bad "strange," not the cute Internet meme "strange" -- schedule a vet appointment. Aneurysms and their closely-related blood clots cause issues as slight as weakness or as glaring as bloody vomit or urine. Seek a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
What's an Aneurysm?
The medical description of an aneurysm is simply "an abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of an artery due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel," according to the A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia. It can cause a blood clot (technically, a thrombus), and even lead to death, depending on its location and severity. Common sites in cats include the main heart artery, the brain, their back two legs, the intestines and the spleen. It's hard to tell if your cat has an aneurysm at first, but, as it develops, it should become obvious something is wrong with him.
In and of themselves, aneurysms cause few symptoms. Most signs are related to the subsequent thrombi, according to The Merck Manual for Pet Health. Watch your cat. If he suddenly has difficulty breathing, starts coughing up blood or bloody mucus, or has abdominal pain and bloody urine, an aneurysm and thrombus may be to blame. Later-stage problems run the gamut from infection to lameness. Schedule a vet visit at the first sign of trouble. The earlier it's diagnosed, the better. A side note of interest: In at least one incidence, first reported in "The Northern Virginia Daily" in 2011, a cat was apparently able to detect an aneurysm in his owner's brain before symptoms developed. It's unknown how or why this happened.
Causes and Complications
Aneurysms can be congenital or related to other health issues. Heartworm disease is one culprit, although it's more common in dogs than cats, according to VetInfo. Cardiomyopathy, a heart muscle disorder, is another possible cause. A veterinarian can confirm the presence of an aneurysm with an X-ray, although she will probably run other tests on your cat to ferret out the underlying cause. Sometimes the aneurysm facilitates a thrombus that breaks off and is carried through the blood stream -- it's called an embolus, and it can cause blood clots elsewhere in your cat's body. Sometimes all three conditions are detected at once: an aneurysm, a thrombus and an embolus, according to The Merck Veterinary Manual.
The best treatment for your cat's aneurysm depends on its cause and accompanying complications. At one end of the spectrum are anti-inflammatory drugs; at the other is the surgical removal of clots. Your cat's long-term prognosis depends on the severity of the underlying condition. Some cats fair well after treatment. Others die, sometimes quite suddenly. It's important to talk to your vet about all possible treatment scenarios, as well as their short-, medium- and long-term outlooks. Cats with neurological issues or weakness in their hind limbs don't always regain control of their limbs, even following successful treatment. Be patient with your feline friend when he starts any new treatment regime.

A neck lift is usually performed as an integral part of a facelift.
The neck can be unsatisfactory due to a deficiency of the jaw bone, an excess of skin and or fat, platsyma muscle overactivity or a combination of these.
In certain circumstances it is possible to perform a neck lift as an isolated procedure, particularly if your problem is limited to just one of the causes.
For instance, if the problem is a fatty excess alone, then liposculpture may be all that is needed. If it is some platysmal muscle bands or submental fat excess a surgical neck lift alone may produce excellent results. However if you also have jowls developing with a sagging jaw line, then a neck lift alone may make your jowls more obvious, and Dr Breidahl may recommend a midface lift as well.
Dr Breidahl will assess you at your consultation and be able to advise you on the most appropriate treatment.
'Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.' | <urn:uuid:e1e0526b-ef74-439a-b636-32b623a35307> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.melbourneplasticsurgery.com.au/service/neck-lift/ | 2019-06-19T21:27:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999041.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619204313-20190619230313-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.939321 | 226 | [

Q: Why don't the Heat (assuming they both opt in) try to trade Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside for bad deals that extend one extra year (so they expire when James Johnson, Dion Waiters and Kelly Olynyk do)? This could allow us to pick up some extra assets. Would Charlotte give up a protected first or two seconds to swap Nicolas Batum for Whiteside? Would the Magic give up their first-round pick to swap Timofey Mozgov for Dragic? These types of deals will allow us to really accumulate assets for the 2021 summer, with more impact free agents, and when we’ll have more money. -- Josh, Orlando.
A: Pat Riley mentioned this during his media session following the season, as possibly serving as a "bank" for teams to park contracts into Heat cap space. The Heat rarely -- I'm not sure ever -- considered this approach because it also means taking a step back from contention. That continues, they have stressed, to be something contrary to their DNA. I have no issue with it, if it means untangling a mess that seemingly never should have been created in the first place. But rarely does the same front office that created such salary conundrums then get to both work out of it and undertake the reorganization. And here's the rub: If you do make 2021 the summer of decision for the Heat, it would come in year when the Heat would be lacking a first-round pick, that unprotected pick dealt in the 2015 trade for Goran Dragic. So that wouldn't be optimal, either.
Q: So I know a lot of your questions since the season ended have revolved around our current young core, but I am excited to see a draft pick for the Heat this year! I keep seeing in a lot of mock drafts Miami selecting PJ Washington or Brandon Clarke and I almost want to personally beg Pat Riley not to draft another power forward. With Bam Adebayo, James Johnson, Derrick Jones Jr, Yante Maten, Kelly Olynyk and Hassan Whiteside we are set at the power rotation. This team needs someone who can create their own shot and create some drive-and-kicks. We should create a hashtag of #NotAnotherPF! -- Aaron, Coconut Grove.
A: I agree that a scoring wing would, and perhaps should, be the preference. But with the Heat lacking a 2021 first-round pick, this pick also might have to be made with the long view, especially considering it likely will be a 19-year-old with only a single season of college experience. In other words, once the Heat's 2019 first-round pick reaches his formative years, Whiteside, Johnson, Olynyk and perhaps others on the current roster could already be gone. So that could get you back to the always popular best player available.

Q: Ira, recently I have seen people questioning Josh Richardson as being a closer and/or leading man. I admit that it seems he tapered off as the year went on, but I don't see anyone mentioning what the real problem might have been: Dwyane Wade. When you have one of the best finishers in NBA history, and that legend is playing in his final year, would it not be expected for Wade to take over that role as his last game approached? Additionally in this upcoming year, what choice do we have other than relay on Josh anyway? -- Erik, Plantation.
A: Exactly. For now, barring a significant move, including a move up in the lottery, Richardson as closer certainly should be reexamined. About the only other option could be going all-in with Dion Waiters, and I'm not sure that the confidence is there with a player who has been issued a conditioning ultimatum. | <urn:uuid:51da4fc5-8baa-464c-aec4-d4b5e9fbac8d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-heat/heat-blog/fl-sp-miami-heat-ask-ira-nba-free-agency-s042619-story.html | 2019-06-19T21:59:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999041.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619204313-20190619230313-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.97372 | 788 | [

We will continue to challenge GCHQ's hacking powers
In response to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) ruling today that GCHQ's hacking is lawful, we have issued the following press statement:
"We are disappointed by the IPT’s judgment today, which has found Government hacking lawful based on a broad interpretation of a law dating back to 1994, when the internet and mobile phone technology were in their infancy.
Until we brought this case, GCHQ would neither confirm nor deny that it was they were engaging in mass hacking of computers, mobile devices and entire computer networks.
During the course of the proceedings the Government sought to create law 'on the hoof', changing anti-hacking laws (the Computer Misuse Act 1984) through an addition to the Serious Crime Act 2015 and producing a Code of Practice for hacking. Hacking is one of the most intrusive surveillance capabilities available to intelligence agencies. This case exposed not only these secret practices but also the undemocratic manner in which the Government sought to backdate powers to do this under the radar. Just because the Government magically produces guidelines for hacking should not legitimise this practice.
The IPT has decided that GCHQ can use 'thematic warrants', which means GCHQ can hack an entire class of property or persons, such as 'all phones in Birmingham'. In doing so, it has upended a longstanding English common law principle that such general warrants are unlawful. Its decision is also contrary to the finding of the Joint Committee on the draft Investigatory Powers Bill, which recommended that hacking warrants should not be "used as a way to issue thematic warrants concerning a very large number of people." We will challenge this undermining of the fundamental right that a warrant should identify a specific property or person.
Allowing Governments to hack places the security and stability of the internet and the information we exchange on it at stake."

Don’t let the title fool you, I promise it won’t be another one of ‘those’ sensationalist articles. The following are just some personal thoughts based on a recent experience I had printing, and setting up a gallery exhibition of my work a few months ago.
In 2013, I decided to start publishing my photo work. Now, why print in a digital age?. Well, I am a designer during the day, and I simply love the smell of ink on paper. Don’t get me wrong, I love instagram, tumblr and all that, but something happens when you take the image out of the screen. In fact, I do believe in ‘is not a photo, until is printed’ more or less.
So, I embarked myself into self-publishing through the ‘zine’ format, which I called “Øbservations”. As the name suggests, this were my own visual journals documenting my wanderings in Auckland, NZ. I was printing and ‘using’ images from different sensors: Micro four thirds(Olympus OMD EM-10), APS-C (Ricoh GR) and Full Frame (Sony A7).
I knew that printing those zines at an A5 (148 x 210mm/5.8 x 8.3in) size wouldn’t give me any problems, in fact, I would have no problems with printing smartphone photos at those sizes either. Technology right now, is simply impressive. I have to be honest though. At one point I knew that if I was going to do any bigger prints, I might get all those differences that people kept writing on the internet about how cropped sensors ‘struggle to keep up’ with full frame.
A year after I started my ‘Øbservations’ project, I received an invitation to exhibit my work:
I decided to make each print as big as possible, which in this case, they were A3+ (330x482mm / 13x19in), which is a pretty big size for a gallery show. In fact, anything bigger than that and you really need a big room, with enough space to view each print from a distance, light them up properly, etc.
When I started to print my work for the exhibition (from the three different sensors, m43, APS-C and FF), the first test prints I did, were from the m43 sensor. And I was blown, I was actually seeing way more details than I saw on lightroom in my retina macbook pro. The prints kept coming out of the printer, of course the other two sensors (APS-C and FF) were outstanding as well. But here’s where things get interesting.
From all the people that came to the show,9 out of 10 times no one could really tell the difference in between sensors. No one cared really, because quality is simply outstanding from all three sensors nowadays. That 1 out of 10 time someone could actually tell the difference, was when they noticed the thinner depth of field of the FF sensor over the other two. Which, for some it might be a flaw, truth is, depth of field has nothing to do with the image quality of the sensor. right?
I prefer smaller cameras, because when I first started in photography, I started with film, and most 35mm cameras were (are) in fact, smaller than most digital cameras. But that’s another story. Technology, today, in 2015, has gone far. More than necessary for 98% of the users out there.
Lets not forget that one of the first, if not the first consumer digital full frame camera, came out in 2006, the canon 5d (a huge step for digital photography, no doubt!).
That is not even 10 years ago! and technology has gone so far that its safe to say that even APS-C sensors from 2 years ago or so, would run circles around those first Full frame sensor cameras. But we still care, and read endless blogs about the new and the latest megapixel/sensor-size. I know, I do and probably you do too.
I want to be clear though and say, No, I am not trying to ditch FF at all guys. I love it, and I own a FF sensor camera. But I do believe and insist that technology has gone so far, that I believe, cropped sensor do have an advantage compared to most FF sensor cameras. And that is… you guessed it, size and weight.
In fact is not a surprise that real master photographers, are right now shooting professional assignments with smaller and cropped sensor cameras. Why is that?, well, the quality is as good as 35mm sensor cameras, and the convenience of a smaller kit allows them to carry the camera anytime and anywhere more easily.
David Alan Harvey (National Geographic / Magnum Photographer) shoots m43, iphone, DSLR, and rangefinder cameras. Saul Leiter, considered one of the masters of color photography of the 20th century, was shooting m43 cameras before he passed away one and a half years ago (Watch his documentary, its a must). Daido Moriyama, the japanese master photographer, has made a career shooting compact cameras, even shooting very small sensor cameras and making huge prints out of it.
On the other hand, there’s guys like Michael Kenna, that have shot landscape photography with nothing less than Medium format, but then again, he is also known for using Holga cameras (cheap plastic, fixed lens, 120mm cameras) which one thing they lack the most is, sharpness and perfection.
Having said all that, I was thinking, why would a simple amateur like myself or yourself perhaps, demand more and more from the manufacturers than we currently have.
Every Time I surf through photo blogs or forums were I used to share my photos, now most of them, seem to be delusional with edge to edge sharpness and resolution as if it were almost the only conversation to have when talking about cameras or photography. What else do we need from our digital cameras? Because if you are not going to print any of the photos (which a lot of people don’t), this whole article is muted and there’s nothing more to say.
Also, you might well not know, but if you think you need a 36 or 50 megapixel sensor camera, heck, even a 24 megapixel camera to fill and share photos through your retina, 2k or even 4k dedicated screens, I can only tell you, that they ‘only’ resolve an equivalent of an 8 megapixel photo, which in fact is, what your iphone shoots.
For me, photography does not need to be perfect, it is about moments, personal expressions, reality, and lots of trial and error, and personally I’ve been experimenting with other ways of printing my work: screenprint, risographs, etc. Because what is cool about photography, is that timeless feel, a slice of time frozen in a piece of paper, which might be slightly blurred, textured or color saturated, just like your memories about that moment.
I guess what I wanted to share with you guys, is that there’s no camera on the face of the planet that will take ‘those’ photos you dream of, it is you behind it that will. And any sensor will capture an amazing or crap photo. A good photo is a good photo regardless of the sensor, camera or format you shoot at. Again, I’m not trying to say, cropped sensors are better than full frame ones or trying to ditch full frames for cropped ones. It’s more like, if you are trying to buy a camera in 2015, go with whatever you can buy within your budget (except those $100 dollar point and shoot, stick to your cellphone if that's the case).
Instead of spending days and weeks reading reviews of this vs that (been there done that), try going to your local shop and play with all the cameras. Now, when it comes to Sensor quality, meaning, image quality, right now, today, is better than what most people need.imho.
Again this are just some personal thoughts after publishing and setting up a fine art gallery show in the last year and half. Sensor size, really don't matter to me anymore.
PS: By the time I finished this article, I received some test prints I'm doing for some other publications in the future. I printed two large formats photos, and when I say large i do mean it, 841 x 1189mm (46.8 x 33in). One from a 16 megapixel APS-C camera and the other one from a 24megapixel FF camera. To be honest, you’d be hard pressed telling which one has more details in the very top corner near the tree branches. Also, look at the amount of crop sensors that won awards!

JVC to launch World’s thinnest tuner-equipped LCD TV in July
Establishing a new benchmark in flat panel TV design, JVC in July will market the world’s thinnest LCD TVs with built-in tuners. The new line of super-slim Full HD TVs also weigh less and consume less power than conventional LCD TVs. JVC’s new slim LCD TVs, feature a cabinet that across most of its width measures a mere 39mm deep, with a maximum depth of just 74mm at the panel’s center. The design ensures that from nearly any angle, the sets present a super-slim appearance. Complementing the slim design is a thinner bezel, further minimizing the presence of the cabinet.
The new super-slim design will be available in two screen sizes in the U.S., the 42-inch LT-42SL89 and the 46-inch LT-46SL89. Both offer 1920 x 1080p resolution. JVC’s new slim LCD TVs weighs only 12kg and consumes a mere 145W. | <urn:uuid:3f9e4ef6-2b9d-46c4-b772-df7ef4948e97> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://fareastgizmos.com/media_devices/jvc_to_launch_worlds_thinnest_tunerequipped_lcd_tv_in_july.php | 2019-06-26T20:20:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.888613 | 228 | [

Senior Research Associate, Harvard Graduate School of Design
Director of the Master in Landscape Architecture Program, Harvard Graduate School of Design
Gareth Doherty's research and teaching focus on the intersections between landscape architecture, urbanism, and anthropology. Dr Doherty's newest book, Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State, was published in 2017 by the University of California Press. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Doherty explores the landscapes of Bahrain, where green represents a plethora of implicit human values and exists in dialectical tension with other culturally and environmentally significant colors and hues. Explicit in his book is the argument that concepts of color and object are mutually defining and thus a discussion about green becomes a discussion about the creation of space and place.
Previous publications include Is Landscape…? Essays on the Identity of Landscape, edited with Charles Waldheim (Routledge, 2016); and Ecological Urbanism, edited with Mohsen Mostafavi, (Lars Müller Publishers, 2010, and revised in 2016), which has been translated into Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese with Arabic and Persian editions in process. Doherty is a founding editor of the New Geographies journal and editor-in- chief of New Geographies 3: Urbanisms of Color.
Doherty received a Doctor of Design degree from Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2010 and received his Master of Landscape Architecture and Certificate in Urban Design from the University of Pennsylvania. He earned masters and undergraduate degrees from University College Dublin. | <urn:uuid:15e2e25c-17c4-4416-9e13-7a4a4e0d0987> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://islamicstudies.harvard.edu/people/gareth-doherty | 2019-06-26T21:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.928105 | 310 | [

Cuneiform script is one of the earliest known systems of writing. It used wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, made by a reed stylus. The name cuneiform itself means "wedge shaped", from the Latin cuneus "wedge" and forma "shape". It came into English usage probably from the Old French cunéiforme.
It was first used in Sumer in the late 4th millennium BC (the 'Uruk IV' period). Cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs. In the third millennium, the signs became simplified and more abstract. Fewer characters were used, from about 1,000 in the early Bronze Age to about 400 in late Bronze Age (Hittite cuneiform). The system used a combination of phonetic, consonantal alphabetic (no vowels) and syllabic signs.
The original Sumerian script was adapted for the writing of the Akkadian, Eblaite, Elamite, Hittite, Luwian, Hattic, Hurrian, and Urartian languages, and it inspired the Ugaritic and Old Persian alphabets. Cuneiform writing was gradually replaced by the Phoenician alphabet during the Neo-Assyrian Empire. By the 2nd century BC, the script was extinct. All knowledge of how to read it was lost until it began to be deciphered in the 19th century.

Pitting one worker against another
Capitalism divides the working class, based on sexual, gender, racial, national and other distinctions. The specially oppressed groups within the working class suffer the most under capitalism.
We oppose racism in all its forms. We support the struggle for immigrant rights. We fight for real social, economic and political equality for women, and for an end to discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
-- From the ISO "Where We Stand"
"I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half."
--19th century robber baron Jay Gould
THE DRIVING force of the capitalist system is profit. As far as capitalists are concerned, nothing else matters so long as the coffers are filling.
These profits are the product of the unpaid labor of the working class. Finding ways to guarantee that labor will continue to work, undisturbed, at its job of making profits, is therefore a prime concern to the capitalist.
The whip of economic compulsion accomplishes much of this goal: if you do not work, you do not eat. "Hunger," argued a British 18th century Protestant parson, "the most natural motive to industry and labor...calls for the most powerful exertions." Marx put it another way:
The dull compulsion of economic relations completes the subjection of the laborer to the capitalist. Direct force, outside economic conditions, is of course still used, but only exceptionally. In the ordinary run of things, the laborer can be left to the "natural laws of production," i.e., to his dependence on capital, a dependence springing from, and guaranteed in perpetuity by, the conditions of production themselves.
But the collective experience of the working class also leads it to find ways to resist and push back against their exploitation. As Marx writes, "But with the development of industry, the proletariat not only increases in number; it becomes concentrated in greater masses, its strength grows, and it feels that strength more."
The capitalists therefore require other means (short of the use of outright force) to attempt to divide and atomize workers other than just "the dull compulsion of economic relations." One way they do this is by pitting workers against each other, compelling them to compete with each other for scarce jobs.
Laid over this economic competition is the exploitation of differences in race, sex, language, immigration status and so on, which are used to foster deeper divisions among workers. For example, capitalists have often used workers of one race or nationality to scab on native-born white workers in the U.S. in order to stir up enmity between them--something they could not do unless one group was kept in a more oppressed and, therefore, desperate and hungrier state.
Employers are often able to appeal to housewives to rein in their striking husbands, because, to quote Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) leader Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the women "were expected to stay at home and worry about the empty larder, the hungry kiddies and the growling landlord, easy prey to the agents of the company."
The IWW, however, had a different approach. "Women can be the most militant or the most conservative element in a strike," she wrote, "in proportion to their comprehension of its purposes. The IWW has been accused of putting the women in the front. The truth is, the IWW does not keep them in the back, and they go to the front."
ALL WORKERS are oppressed under capitalism, facing inferior housing, schooling and medical care, for example, compared to middle-class and wealthy people. But some groups are singled out for "special" oppression that runs even deeper: women, African Americans, Latinos, gays, people who don't speak the "official" language, and so on.
These different forms of oppression had an economic function, or were closely tied to the new economic priorities of capitalism. In the early stages of capitalist development, for example, forced labor of various kinds were used to extract wealth from subject peoples, particularly in cases where shortages of wage workers made that form of labor too expensive to be profitable.
As Marx wrote in Capital, "Whilst the cotton industry introduced child slavery in England, it gave in the United States a stimulus to the transformation of the earlier, more or less patriarchal slavery, into a system of commercial exploitation. In fact, the veiled slavery of the wage workers in Europe needed, for its pedestal, slavery pure and simple in the new world."
Racism--the ideology that observable differences such as skin color marked some people as inferior--was fashioned to justify the forcible enslavement of Africans in the New World. "Slavery could survive," wrote Winthrop Jordan, "only if the Negro were a man set apart; he simply had to be different if slavery were to exist at all."
After slavery's defeat, the Southern white ruling class deliberately fostered race hatred to prevent poor whites from identifying with poor Blacks. As W.E.B. Dubois wrote:
The race element was emphasized in order that property-holders could get the support of the majority of white laborers and make it more possible to exploit Negro labor. But the race philosophy came as a new and terrible thing to make labor unity or labor class-consciousness impossible. So long as the Southern white laborers could be induced to prefer poverty to equality with the Negro, just so long was a labor movement in the South made impossible.
Racism (as well as xenophobia) also persisted in the North. The main trade unions often refused to organize Blacks (except sometimes in segregated locals) and immigrant workers (in many cases, also women workers), disfiguring the labor movement and rendering it unable to resist the bosses' attacks.
THERE IS an essential point Dubois makes here that applies to all forms of oppression. And that is that the oppression visited upon one section of society serves the function of keeping down other sections, both economically and socially, and preventing the exploited from seeing that they have common interests with those of their class who face special forms of oppression.
Oppression, and the ideologies that underpin it, objectively weakens the ability of workers to come together and unite against the ruling class. The point was well-expressed by the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who wrote, "The slaveholders...by encouraging the enmity of the poor, laboring white man against the Blacks, succeeded in making the said white man almost as much a slave as the Black man himself."
Imperialism--the conquest and division of the world by Europe, the U.S. and Japan in the late 19th century--gave renewed lease on the racist ideas developed out of slavery. Racist ideology was used to justify the conquest of "inferior" people who were considered to be at the stage of childhood in terms of human development and therefore needed the tutelage of the mature, "civilized" nations to guide them.
The national chauvinism fostered by the ruling classes of the big powers acted as a powerful weapon against the international solidarity of the working class. The U.S. ruling class today systematically, and insidiously, instills American chauvinism--aided by the compliant mass media.
As a result, most Americans unconsciously accept the right of the U.S. to project its power around the world and to dominate international institutions, and much of the stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims that help justify it. But American chauvinism is even more insidious than others, because it comes with the ideological trappings of the American Revolution.
America claims to be a great protector and promoter of world democracy, and a "reluctant" world power uniquely possessed with benign respect for human rights and dignity.

The first lesson learned by this family is don't let cancer eat up your day and your mind, even when you're scared.
The year 2011 is the year of breast cancer for our little family of four. We were the lucky ones, the family that hadn't been touched by cancer in any way shape or form. Then, on March 10 at 3 p.m., my husband was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.
Lightning does strike twice. Five days after my husband's last chemo treatment, I was diagnosed with breast cancer after my yearly mammogram. It wasn't invasive, but it was cancer again.
Listening, researching decisions and family care became the norm. I quickly learned the house would still be there, calls can be returned, plans for the future can be made and the kids can learn to help out with all cooking, cleaning and independent work. Newly minted teens can be trusted, as long as they are kept in the loop. I find myself saying to myself, "Is this really worth getting upset, worried, angry and/or fighting about?"
Life moves at a fast pace. We learned to take time for just the parents to talk, walk and sit, and talk about life after cancer. We learned that all those life lesson clichés are to be taken to heart and followed.
The biggest lesson I learned during my current treatment is that I have so many friends, community members and families willing to help me - and letting them help me. I am so independent and I have been so gratefully overwhelmed with everyone's help.
Our family has learned to keep our sense of humor, even if it gets macabre at times. It is what it is and we are moving on. Thankfully, neither of our cancers is a death sentence.
You can't worry your life away, and "frown" is a four-letter word. | <urn:uuid:d1d7b8e7-c414-4440-bb97-22d3d9ed280f> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.jacksonville.com/article/20110928/NEWS/801243664 | 2019-06-26T20:23:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.984408 | 383 | [

Nothing spells 2018 quite like Cardi B. The Bronx hometown legend blessed us and Bruno Mars by showing up and out for this self-directed “In Living Color” tribute video. Prior to the release of the video, Bruno and Cardi teased out the debut with back and forth posts on Instagram.
The original version of “Finesse” made its debut on Mars’ 2016 hit album 24k Magic. The pairing, while it may seem unlikely, is the best way to kick off the rapper’s 2018. Cardi B dominated 2017 with her break out single “Bodak Yellow”, which earned her two Grammy nominations and record-break chart topping spots. On Christmas, Cardi blessed us with her single “Bartier Cardi”, featuring 21 Savage, “Motorsport“, featuring The Migos and Nicki Minaj, her single with Juicy J “Kamasutra”, and her show-stealing verse on G-Eazy’s No Limit.
I’m ready for a year of Cardi B. The video can be found here: | <urn:uuid:e2c9a853-0153-404c-ad3c-7f50599c587d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://deadendhiphop.com/cardi-bruno-finesse/ | 2019-06-17T16:45:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.907969 | 239 | [

The crimson disk of the Sun has plunged beneath the Ocean. The sea has decked itself with the burning colors of the orb, reflected from the Heavens in a mirror of turquoise and emerald. The rolling waves are gold and silver, and break noisily on a shore already darkened by the disappearance of the celestial luminary.
We gaze regretfully after the star of day, that poured its cheerful rays anon so generously over many who were intoxicated with gaiety and happiness. We
The most indifferent spectator of the setting Sun as it descends beneath the waves at the far horizon, could hardly be unmoved by the pageant of Nature at such an impressive moment.
The light of the Crescent Moon, like some fairy boat suspended in the sky, is bright enough to cast changing and dancing sparkles of silver upon the ocean. The Evening Star declines slowly in its turn toward the western horizon. Our gaze is held by a shining world that dominates the whole of the occidental heavens. This is the "Shepherd's Star," Venus of rays translucent.
Little by little, one by one, the more brilliant stars shine out. Here are the white Vega of the Lyre, the burning Arcturus, the seven stars of the Great Bear, a whole sidereal population catching fire, like innumerable eyes that open on the Infinite. It is a new life that is revealed to our imagination, inviting us to soar into these mysterious regions.
O Night, diapered with fires innumerable! hast thou not written in flaming letters on these Constellations the syllables of the great enigma of Eternity? The contemplation of thee is a wonder and a charm. How rapidly canst thou efface the regrets we suffered on the departure of our beloved Sun! What wealth, what beauty hast thou not reserved for our enraptured souls! Where is the man that can remain blind to such a pageant and deaf to its language!
To whatever quarter of the Heavens we look, the splendors of the night are revealed to our astonished gaze. These celestial eyes seem in their turn to gaze at, and to question us. Thus indeed have they questioned every thinking soul, so long as Humanity has existed on our Earth. Homer saw and sung these self-same stars. They shone upon the slow succession of civilizations that have disappeared, from Egypt of the period of the Pyramids, Greece at the time of the Trojan War, Rome and Carthage, Constantine and Charlemagne, down to the Twentieth Century. The generations are buried with the dust of their ancient temples. The Stars are still there, symbols of Eternity.
The silence of the vast and starry Heavens may terrify us; its immensity may seem to overwhelm us. But our inquiring thought flies curiously on the wings of dream, toward the remotest regions of the visible. It rests on one star and another, like the butterfly on the flower. It seeks what will best respond to its aspirations: and thus a kind of communication is established, and, as it were, protected by all Nature in these silent appeals. Our sense of solitude has disappeared. We feel that, if only as infinitesimal atoms, we form part of that immense universe, and this dumb language of the starry night is more eloquent than any speech. Each star becomes a friend, a discreet confidant, often indeed a precious counsellor, for all the thoughts it suggests to us are pure and holy.
Is any poem finer than the book written in letters of fire upon the tablets of the firmament? Nothing could be more ideal. And yet, the poetic sentiment that the beauty of Heaven awakens in our soul ought not to veil its reality from us. That is no less marvelous than the mystery by which we were enchanted.
And here we may ask ourselves how many there are, even among thinking human beings, who ever raise their eyes to the starry heavens? How many men and women are sincerely, and with unfeigned curiosity, interested in these shining specks, and inaccessible luminaries, and really desirous of a better acquaintance with them?
Seek, talk, ask in the intercourse of daily life. You, who read these pages, who already love the Heavens, and comprehend them, who desire to account for our existence in this world, who seek to know what the Earth is, and what Heaven—you shall witness that the number of those inquiring after truth is so limited that no one dares to speak of it, so disgraceful is it to the so-called intelligence of our race. And yet! the great Book of the Heavens is open to all eyes. What pleasures await us in the study of the Universe! Nothing could speak more eloquently to our heart and intellect!
Astronomy is the science par excellence. It is the most beautiful and most ancient of all, inasmuch as it dates back to the indeterminate times of highest antiquity. Its mission is not only to make us acquainted with the innumerable orbs by which our nights are illuminated, but it is, moreover, thanks to it that we know where and what we are. Without it we should live as the blind, in eternal ignorance of the very conditions of our terrestrial existence. Without it we should still be penetrated with the naïve error that reduced the entire Universe to our minute globule, making our Humanity the goal of the Creation, and should have no exact notion of the immense reality.
To-day, thanks to the intellectual labor of so many centuries, thanks also to the immortal genius of the men of science who have devoted their lives to searching after Truth—men such as Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton—the veil of ignorance has been rent, and glimpses of the marvels of creation are perceptible in their splendid truth to the dazzled eye of the thinker.
The study of Astronomy is not, as many suppose, the sacrifice of oneself in a cerebral torture that obliterates all the beauty, the fascination, and the grandeur of the pageant of Nature. Figures, and naught but figures, would not be entertaining, even to those most desirous of instruction. Let the reader take courage! We do not propose that he shall decipher the hieroglyphics of algebra and geometry. Perish the thought! For the rest, figures are but the scaffolding, the method, and do not exist in Nature.
We simply beg of you to open your eyes, to see where you are, so that you may not stray from the path of truth, which is also the path of happiness. Once you have entered upon it, no persuasion will be needed to make you persevere. And you will have the profound satisfaction of knowing that you are thinking correctly, and that it is infinitely better to be educated than to be ignorant. The reality is far beyond all dreams, beyond the most fantastic imagination. The most fairy-like transformations of our theaters, the most resplendent pageants of our military reviews, the most sumptuous marvels on which the human race can pride itself—all that we admire, all that we envy on the Earth—is as nothing compared with the unheard-of wonders scattered through Infinitude. There are so many that one does not know how to see them. The fascinated eye would fain grasp all at once.
If you will yield yourselves to the pleasure of gazing upon the sparkling fires of Space, you will never regret the moments passed all too rapidly in the contemplation of the Heavens.
Diamonds, turquoises, rubies, emeralds, all the precious stones with which women love to deck themselves, are to be found in greater perfection, more beautiful, and more splendid, set in the immensity of Heaven! In the telescopic field, we may watch the progress of armies of majestic and powerful suns, from whose attacks there is naught to fear. And these vagabond comets and shooting stars and stellar nebulæ, do they not make up a prodigious panorama? What are our romances in comparison with the History of Nature? Soaring toward the Infinite, we purify our souls from all the baseness of this world, we strive to become better and more intelligent.
But in the first place, you ask, what are the Heavens? This vault oppresses us. We can not venture to investigate it.
Heaven, we reply, is no vault, it is a limitless immensity, inconceivable, unfathomable, that surrounds us on all sides, and in the midst of which our globe is floating. The Heavens are all that exists, all that we see, and all that we do not see: the Earth on which we are, that bears us onward in her rapid flight; the Moon that accompanies us, and sheds her soft beams upon our silent nights; the good Sun to which we owe our existence; the Stars, suns of Infinitude; in a word—the whole of Creation.
Yes, our Earth is an orb of the Heavens: the sky is her domain, and our Sun, shining above our heads, and fertilizing our seasons, is as much a star as the pretty sparkling points that scintillate up there, in the far distance, and embellish the calm of our nights with their brilliancy. All are in the Heavens, you as well as I, for the Earth, in her course through Space, bears us with herself into the depths of Infinitude.
In the Heavens there is neither "above" nor "below." These words do not exist in celestial speech, because their significance is relative to the surface of this planet only. In reality, for the inhabitants of the Earth, "low" is the inside, the center of the globe, and "high" is what is above our heads, all round the Earth. The Heavens are what surround us on all sides, to Infinity.
The Earth is, like her fellows, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, one of the planets of the great solar family.
The Sun, her father, protects her, and directs all her actions. She, as the grateful daughter, obeys him blindly. All float in perfect harmony over the celestial ocean.
But, you may say, on what does the Earth rest in her ethereal navigation?
On nothing. The Earth turns round the colossal Sun, a little globe of relatively light weight, isolated on all sides in Space, like a soap-bubble blown by some careless child.
Above, below, on all sides, millions of similar globes are grouped into families, and form other systems of worlds revolving round the numerous and distant stars that people Infinitude; suns more or less analogous to that by which we are illuminated, and generally speaking of larger bulk, although our Sun is a million times larger than our planet.
Among the ancients, before the isolation of our globe in Space and the motions that incessantly alter its position were recognized, the Earth was supposed to be the immobile lower half of the Universe. The sky was regarded as the upper half. The ancients supplied our world with fantastic supports that penetrated to the Infernal Regions. They could not admit the notion of the Earth's isolation, because they had a false idea of its weight. To-day, however, we know positively that the Earth is based on nothing. The innumerable journeys accomplished round it in all directions give definite proof of this. It is attached to nothing. As we said before, there is neither "above" nor "below" in the Universe. What we call "below" is the center of the Earth. For the rest the Earth turns upon its own axis in twenty-four hours. Night is only a partial phenomenon, due to the rotary motion of the planet, a motion that could not exist under conditions other than that of the absolute isolation of our globe in space.
Since the Sun can only illuminate one side of our globe at one moment, that is to say one hemisphere, it follows that Night is nothing but the state of the part that is not illuminated. As the Earth revolves upon itself, all the parts successively exposed to the Sun are in the day, while the parts situated opposite to the Sun, in the cone of shadow produced by the Earth itself, are in night. But whether it be noon or midnight, the stars always occupy the same position in the Heavens, even when, dazzled by the ardent light of the orb of day, we can no longer see them; and when we are plunged into the darkness of the night, the god Phœbus still continues to pour his beneficent rays upon the countries turned toward him.
The sequence of day and night is a phenomenon belonging, properly speaking, to the Earth, in which the rest of the Universe does not participate. The same occurs for every world that is illuminated by a sun, and endowed with a rotary movement. In absolute space, there is no succession of nights and days.
Upheld in space by forces that will be explained at a later point, our planet glides in the open heavens round our Sun.
Imagine a magnificent aerostat, lightly and rapidly cleaving space. Surround it with eight little balloons of different sizes, the smallest like those sold on the streets for children to play with, the larger, such as are distributed for a bonus in large stores. Imagine this group sailing through the air, and you have the system of our worlds in miniature.
Still, this is only an image, a comparison. The balloons are held up by the atmosphere, in which they float at equilibrium. The Earth is sustained by nothing material. What maintains her in equilibrium is the ethereal void; an immaterial force; gravitation. The Sun attracts her, and if she did not revolve, she would drop into him; but rotating round him, at a speed of 107,000 kilometers (about 66,000 miles) per hour, she produces a centrifugal force, like that of a stone in a sling, that is precisely equivalent, and of contrary sign, to its gravitation toward the central orb, and these two equilibrated forces keep her at the same medium distance.
This solar and planetary group does not exist solitary in the immense void that extends indefinitely around us. As we said above, each star that we admire in the depths of the sky, and to which we lift up our eyes and thoughts during the charmed hours of the night, is another sun burning with its own light, the chief of a more or less numerous family, such as are multiplied through all space to infinity. Notwithstanding the immense distances between the sun-stars, Space is so vast, and the number of these so great, that by an effect of perspective due solely to the distance, appearances would lead us to believe that the stars were touching. And under certain telescopic aspects, and in some of the astral photographs, they really do appear to be contiguous.
The Universe is infinite. Space is limitless. If our love for the Heavens should incite in us the impulse, and provide us with the means of undertaking a journey directed to the ends of Heaven as its goal, we should be astonished, on arriving at the confines of the Milky Way, to see the grandiose and phenomenal spectacle of a new Universe unfold before our dazzled eyes; and if in our mad career we crossed this new archipelago of worlds to seek the barriers of Heaven beyond them, we should still find universe eternally succeeding to universe before us. Millions of suns roll on in the immensities of Space. Everywhere, on all sides, Creation renews itself in an infinite variety.
According to all the probabilities, universal life is distributed there as well as here, and has sown the germ of intelligence upon those distant worlds that we divine in the vicinity of the innumerable suns that plow the ether, for everything upon the Earth tends to show that Life is the goal of Nature. Burning foci, inextinguishable sources of warmth and light, these various, multi-colored suns shed their rays upon the worlds that belong to them and which they fertilize.
Our globe is no exception in the Universe. As we have seen, it is one of the celestial orbs, nourished, warmed, lighted, quickened by the Sun, which in its turn again is but a star.
Innumerable Worlds! We dream of them. Who can say that their unknown inhabitants do not think of us in their turn, and that Space may not be traversed by waves of thought, as it is by the vibrations of light and universal gravitation? May not an immense solidarity, hardly guessed at by our imperfect senses, exist between the Celestial Humanities, our Earth being only a modest planet.
Let us meditate on this Infinity! Let us lose no opportunity of employing the best of our hours, those of the silence and peace of the bewitching nights, in contemplating, admiring, spelling out the words of the Great Book of the Heavens. Let our freed souls fly swift and rapt toward those marvelous countries where indescribable joys are prepared for us, and let us do homage to the first and most splendid of the sciences, to Astronomy, which diffuses the light of Truth within us.
To poetical souls, the contemplation of the Heavens carries thought away to higher regions than it attains in any other meditation. Who does not remember the beautiful lines of Victor Hugo in the Orientales? Who has not heard or read them? The poem is called "Ecstasy," and it is a fitting title. The words are sometimes set to music, and the melody seems to complete their pure beauty:
J'étais seul près des flots par une nuit d'étoiles.
Pas un nuage aux cieux, sur les mers pas de voiles;
Mes yeux plongeaient plus loin que le monde réel,
Et les bois et les monts et toute la nature
Semblaient interroger, dans un confus murmure,
Les flots des mers, les feux du ciel.
Et les étoiles d'or, légions infinies,
A voix haute, à voix basse, avec mille harmonies
Disaient, en inclinant leurs couronnes de feu;
Et les flots bleus, que rien ne gouverne et n'arrête,
Disaient en recourbant l'écume de leur crête:
... C'est le Seigneur, le Seigneur Dieu!
Note: Free Translation
I was alone on the waves, on a starry night,
Not a cloud in the sky, not a sail in sight,
My eyes pierced beyond the natural world...
And the woods, and the hills, and the voice of Nature
Seemed to question in a confused murmur,
The waves of the Sea, and Heaven's fires.
And the golden stars in infinite legion,
Sang loudly, and softly, in glad recognition,
Inclining their crowns of fire;...
And the waves that naught can check nor arrest
Sang, bowing the foam of their haughty crest...
Behold the Lord God—Jehovah!
The immortal poet of France was an astronomer. The author more than once had the honor of conversing with him on the problems of the starry sky—and reflected that astronomers might well be poets.
It is indeed difficult to resist a sense of profound emotion before the abysses of infinite Space, when we behold the innumerable multitude of worlds suspended above our heads. We feel in this solitary contemplation of the Heavens that there is more in the Universe than tangible and visible matter: that there are forces, laws, destinies. Our ants' brains may know themselves microscopic, and yet recognize that there is something greater than the Earth, the Heavens;—more absolute than the Visible, the Invisible;—beyond the more or less vulgar affairs of life, the sense of the True, the Good, the Beautiful. We feel that an immense mystery broods over Nature,—over Being, over created things. And it is here again that Astronomy surpasses all the other sciences, that it becomes our sovereign teacher, that it is the pharos of modern philosophy.
O Night, mysterious, sublime, and infinite! withdrawing from our eyes the veil spread above us by the light of day, giving back transparency to the Heavens, showing us the prodigious reality, the shining casket of the celestial diamonds, the innumerable stars that succeed each other interminably in immeasurable space! Without Night we should know nothing. Without it our eyes would never have divined the sidereal population, our intellects would never have pierced the harmony of the Heavens, and we should have remained the blind, deaf parasites of a world isolated from the rest of the universe. O Sacred Night! If on the one hand it rests upon the heights of Truth beyond the day's illusions, on the other its invisible urns pour down a silent and tranquil peace, a penetrating calm, upon our souls that weary of Life's fever. It makes us forget the struggles, perfidies, intrigues, the miseries of the hours of toil and noisy activity, all the conventionalities of civilization. Its domain is that of rest and dreams. We love it for its peace and calm tranquillity. We love it because it is true. We love it because it places us in communication with the other worlds, because it gives us the presage of Life, Universal and Eternal, because it brings us Hope, because it proclaims us citizens of Heaven. | <urn:uuid:d63e4909-b1af-499a-9303-c2c8e0153d50> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.stargaze.ca/Amateur/The-Contemplation-Of-The-Heavens.html | 2019-06-17T17:48:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.935217 | 4,521 | [

This #LoveYourBread post is sponsored on behalf of Arnold® Healthfull® Bread. However, all opinions are my own!
Eating healthier and making better choices has been a priority of mine for the past few months. One day I woke up and decided that I was tired of feeling tired. I couldn’t make it through the day without a nap and that short nap sometimes turned into 3 hours. I cut a lot of foods from my diet including those high in sugar and sodium. Even though I feel transformed after a few slight changes there are a still things I had a hard time letting go of and one of those was my beloved carbs. I have always been a big bread eater and never paid attention to the brand, nutritional value, or calories in the loaves I was tossing into the cart. Bread is bread, right? Wrong! | <urn:uuid:875c6803-53df-4c70-ba32-c992a8c4d54d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.youngatheartmommy.com/category/turkey-and-goat-cheese-sandwich | 2019-06-17T17:53:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.981614 | 174 | [

is already bringing the good times to families and booze-fuelled halls of residence, but we should spare a minute to thank the hard-working techie-types of the world, who've devoted themselves to cracking open Microsoft's motion-controlled accessory and feasting on the gadgety goodness within.
Kinect has been out for less than a week, but already enterprising hackers are finding unusual ways to put the sensor bar's 3D imaging capabilities to good use...
It all started when electronic company Adafruit Industries offered a $1,000 reward to the first person to build an open-source driver for Kinect, which would enable other l33t h4xx0rs to use Kinect for their own innovative means. Microsoft to that competition, which prompted the reward to be raised to $2,000, and then again to $3,000.
The lucky fellow to claim the prize was Hector Martin, who uploaded a YouTube video of his hacked Kinect three hours after the European launch:
Martin uploaded his driver for anyone to play around with, and since then has also created a laser-tracking projection, which looks extremely cool and is able to find quadilateral shapes and fire lasers accordingly:
Next on our list of cooler-than-we'll-ever-be techsperts is Oliver Kreylos, who turned the Kinect sensor bar into a 3D camera. By combining both the colour image and the depth image that Kinect produces, Kreylos was able to make a proper 3D image. In the video below hear him explain what's going on, and use his computer to spin around a 3D model of his room in real-time. Very, very cool.
Meet Dr Florian Echtler: he wins the prize for bringing us closer to the glorious Minority Report-style interface than we've ever been. He's created a program that allows for multi-touch photo manipulation without the need for a boring old touchscreen. It's excellent stuff, and while it's only a proof of concept, it goes to show Kinect is more powerful than the tedious hatful of official launch games would have you believe.
Check out this video in which Mehmet Akten creates a 3D doodle in mid-air. By using one hand he draws a pattern, and when he switches to two hands, the image can be rotated to reveal its three-dimensional loveliness.
We also see potential in YouTube user yankeyen's demo of object recognition using Kinect:
Not bad for just a week of hackery, eh? Safe to say, these rather cool techsploits show Kinect has more potential than as a temporary trap for your child's attention on Boxing Day. We can't wait to see what those crazy cats come up with next week. | <urn:uuid:12db5ba4-1c6a-4acc-afac-295cce9b717a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.cnet.com/news/coolest-kinect-hacks-our-favourite-motion-sensor-experiments/ | 2019-06-17T17:32:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617163111-20190617185111-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.965463 | 570 | [

My ten favorite WWII films
- Life is Beautiful
Probably the most touching movie I have ever seen and also the most likely to make you cry. This is an all around fantastic film that everyone should love. It is a foreign film and is subtitled throughout but you barely notice. This movie inspires me.
- Schindler’s List
Perhaps the definitive WWII movie. An artistic masterpiece from Steven Spielberg.
- Saving Private Ryan
Another amazing film from Steven Spielberg. A great story full of action and lots of appearances from big stars.
- The Scarlet and the Black
Solid performance from Gregory Peck in a thrilling story about the Vatican during the second world war.
- I Am David
Brilliant story that is adventurous while at the same time deeply touching. About a boy traversing Europe alone in search of his mother.
- The Best Years of Our Lives
Well written film detailing the trials and challenges endured by WWII soldiers as they return home from the war. Recommended by the WWII veterans and experts I know as you can read about on Larry Martin’s blog.
- Saints and Soldiers
Lesser know film about some WWII soldiers lost in enemy territory. Great story with really good characters.
- The Bridge on the River Kwai
Excellent work from Alec Guinness, as usual on this great tale of british soldiers taken prisoner by the Japanese.
- Inglorious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino plays with history in a comical romp about a troupe of Nazi killers who assassinate Hitler. B.J. Novak even has a small role.
- The Fighting Seabees
This is actually a really good movie starring John Wayne that I may never have seen if my dad had not been a Seabee for almost 20 years.
I hope you all enjoyed this list. Please feel free to share your own favorite WWII films below. | <urn:uuid:e5b1f97e-e3dc-40ea-b001-f92658908a2b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://kyleblog.net/2011/11/top-ten-wwii-movies/ | 2019-06-18T21:39:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998817.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618203528-20190618225528-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.936261 | 386 | [

We want to ultimately encourage you to study abroad in order to experience and explore new countries, cultures and languages. | <urn:uuid:162a69f3-1216-40a9-907e-8f7adc91988d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.mastersportal.com/studies/34323/countering-organised-crime-and-terrorism.html | 2019-06-24T13:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999539.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624130856-20190624152856-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.927115 | 994 | [
