I was born the year of Canada’s Centennial Birthday 1967, so no surprise that this year is a great milestone for Canada and one of those milestone birthdays for me. I grew up in Calgary, Alberta and spent most of my adult life there as well, all four of our children were are also born and raised there, and starting their families. Working for the Canadian Pacific Railway for 20 years, I always felt the pride of working for a company with such a rich heritage. I had the opportunity to spend time in so many locations across Canada and the US, Minnesota being one location that my family and I lived for a number of years. So when I heard of an opportunity at Loram in Minnesota, a well-known and much respected MOW provider, I embraced it! I quickly learned that not only do I have a family connection to Calgary but that our shareholders are also Canadian and call Calgary home; in fact I was even more proud to learn the remarkable story of the generations of the Mannix family, critical in the formation of business in Canada. And keeping true to the spirit of Canada and the support of diversity, we work with so many around the world, providing important equipment and services so other countries can continue to build their histories.
So it goes to show, that no matter where in the world we go as Canadians, we sometimes don’t have to look too far to find that connection home!
Proud to be with Loram and proud to be Canadian! Je suis fier d’etre une employe de Loram et aussi fier d’etre Canadien!

Belgian City Goes Once A Week Veg
The damage done by meat calls louder and louder for a response, and more people the world over are responding. A great example is the city of Ghent, Belgium. From May, government staff and elected officials will go veg once a week and from Sep, schools will follow suit. The goal is to protect the environment and to guard against obesity. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8046970.stm
Here’s a PowerPoint file on the idea presented at the 2008 IVU World Vegetarian Congress by Tobias Leenaert of Ethical Vegetarian Alternative (EVA), Belgium’s biggest vegetarian organisation:
And, here’s an FAQ by EVA: www.vegetarisme.be/ghent
October and November Events Being Planned
Many vegetarian organisations hold events throughout the year, but the October/November period is especially brimming with efforts to educate the public about why and how to go veg. Below is one example. For more, visit
On 1 November (World Vegan Day), a vegan event is planned to mark the opening of STHITAprajna (Vegan Life Centre) An International Vegan Centre for Yoga, Meditation, Relaxation and Rejuvenation in a 3 acre plot located near Byndoor, close to the Western Coast of South India in the state of Karnataka.
In today’s world, life is full of pulls and pressures causing enormous pain making people immune to the problems and sufferings of the fellow beings. At STHITAprajna one learns to live a life in a state of constant happiness with good health and in harmony with nature (animals and earth) using minimum resources available in the nature.
A cross section of society including some dignitaries are expected to attend this 5-day event organised by Vn. Shankar Narayan, President –Indian Vegan Society and A Councillor and Regional Coordinator (India, South & West Asia) for the International Vegetarian Union, UK.
Long distance participants have the option of going for a special 5-day package in the nearby Sai Vishram Vegetarian Beach Resort (www.saivishram.com). More details can be had from the attached file or from the website www.indianvegansociety.com or by writing to Shankar Narayan at [email protected]
Government Regulator Backs Animal Cruelty Advertisement
The intensive pig farming industry in the UK lodged a complaint against an advertisement by Compassion in World Farming (CIWF). However, the complaint backfired when the UK’s advertising regulator, the ASA, backed CIWF’s claim that piglets feel pain just like a human would when their teeth are clipped without anaesthetic.
The advertisement appeared in the national press earlier this year, including in the magazine of food celebrity Jamie Oliver. The ad shows a picture of a pig and asks: “What noise does a piglet make when its teeth are cut off with pliers – without anaesthetic? Same as you.”
A farmer complained stating that piglets don’t get distressed if their teeth are clipped properly without anaesthetic. The ASA looked at the scientific evidence and concluded that Compassion in World Farming was truthful in stating that piglets squeal in pain when they have their teeth clipped without anaesthetic. This is because piglets’ teeth contain nerves and they feel pain as a result of tissue damage just like humans would.
Routine clipping of the teeth of young pigs is banned under EU legislation, yet it happens regularly in most standard intensive pig farms in the UK. Despite the ban, the British Pig Executive (BPEX) reported last year that 57% of pig farmers in the UK clip the teeth of all of their pigs.

Organising Vegetarian ‘Meetups’
Joe Goh is a local vegetarian activist in Singapore, where he heads the Singapore Vegetarian Meetup Group: www.meetup.com/singapore-vegetarian In this interview, Joe tells us what Meetup is, what kinds of activities Singapore Vegetarian Meetup does and his ideas for the future. The hope is that the Singapore experience will inspire others and that others may wish to share ideas with Joe and his Singapore friends.
Hi, Joe. Please begin by telling us what Meetup is. Besides vegetarian Meetup groups, are there other types of Meetups as well?
Hi! Sure. Meetup is a website where people with similar interests can find each other and meet offline, in the "real world". It’s a popular site with tens or even hundreds of different interest groups in many major cities, from more mainstream ones such as Chinese culture and running, to niche ones like Lord of The Rings groups!
Why use Meetup and not just use Facebook or other websites?
Meetup is specifically for the purpose of people interested in meeting others with similar interests, and a lot of people find out about other Meetup groups through the site. This is harder to achieve on Facebook. Using the Singapore Vegetarian Meetup Group as an example, many of our members are also members of the Singapore Adventurers and Nature Lovers Meetup group, and find out about the vegetarian group through emails that the site sends out, from the website itself, word of mouth from other meetup attendees, etc.
As Meetup is focused on getting people to meet in "real life", the tools available for organisers make it much easier for events to be held. For example, it automatically sends reminders to people who RSVP, allowing me to ask attendees questions when they RSVP, keep track of contributions, etc.
The downside is that there's a fee for using the site, but I've not faced much trouble with collecting contributions from members. A great upside is that people have more of a sense of belonging to the group, and although we may receive less RSVPs than through Facebook, a lot more enthusiastic people attend the meets. I think just the very act of getting people to register for an account for the meetup precludes people who are less enthusiastic.
Why and how do people join Singapore Vegetarian Meetup?
Singapore is a nation of food lovers; so, the most commonly heard reason for joining Singapore Vegetarian Meetup is that people have heard of our excellent track record with finding delicious vegetarian food in Singapore and want to join in the feasting. We're very popular with non-vegetarians too, and in fact, about half of our members are non-vegetarians (or, at least they were when they joined the group). I make enjoying delicious vegetarian food together the focal point, and if people find out more about vegetarianism and have a better opinion of vegetarians, I let that happen as a great side effect. This allows the non-vegetarians to feel more at home, and I guess a big draw of this group is the level of trust they feel in the group, that no one will be shoving information or values down their throats.
If you’re in Singapore, to join the group, head over to www.meetup.com/singapore-vegetarian and register for an account on meetup, and join the group. Membership is free, although I do encourage a minimum US$2 donation from everyone, to cover the Meetup fees.
Why did you choose to organise the Singapore Vegetarian Meetup Group?
I wasn't the founder of the meetup, and truth be told, I was initially reluctant to take over as the organiser when the founder decided to hand over the responsibilities to someone else, as I have a very busy work schedule. I became vegetarian a few months before the group was founded, and I felt quite isolated, as I was the only vegetarian I knew. I wanted to meet other vegetarians, and organising the meetup also has given me a great excuse to get away from work to find new places to eat and enjoy a great time out with lots of like-minded people every few weeks.
What keeps me going as the organiser though is the feeling I get that organising these meets is helping spread vegetarianism through subtle means, or at least, help dispel some of the myths and prejudices some may have towards vegetarians.
How do you measure the success of the meetup events?
Meetup allows people to rate the success of events by giving an event a rating of between 0 to 5 stars after each meetup. I'm pleased to say that the Singapore Vegetarian Meetup Group is one of the most highly-rated meetups in Singapore, and we've achieved an average rating of 4.85/5.0 (97%) as of last month.
But statistics aside, I measure the success of events not just by the numbers that turn up, but by the overall vibe and the smiles on people's faces during and after the meet. It’s quite easy to tell when a meetup is going well, as everyone will come up to you and ask when the next meet will be.
What have been two of your more successful Meetup events?
Very recently, I organised a trip to a local eatery known for their vegetarian take on a Singaporean dish called Hokkien Mee, followed by a visit to a traditional Chinese tea house. The turnout was amazing, especially considering how late I was in sending out the details because I was too busy earlier. The vibe at the tea house was infectiously cheerful, although we did break the tranquility of the location with our banter! ;-)
A few months ago, we organised a trip to the beach and flew kites, in commemoration of a Singaporean vegetarian activist and kite flyer who passed away. We've also served some vegetarian burgers, and the combination of the beautiful weather, delicious food and rediscovering the simple joy of kite flying had everyone leaving with a smile.
Why do you think they were successful?
I think it’s important to organise events not for the sole purpose of satisfying attendees, but to do it primarily to please yourself first. That way, the enthusiasm and passion comes through naturally. To deviate a little, I think it’s vital that the organiser enjoys the events that he/she organises, as it’s the only thing that will keep him/her going for the long-term.
Have you also had some not very successful events? To what do you attribute their limited success?
We had a picnic held at the same beach I mentioned above, and that was our lowest rated meetup ever. I think the main problem that day was the timing. Because we met too late, it quickly turned dark, and there were no lights where we were. Somehow, the lack of lighting contributed to everyone feeling a little less social.
Also, one member started discussing religion during the meetup, which affected some of the other attendees negatively. I've since learnt that all conversations relating to religion, politics and other sensitive topics should be gently guided away.
Do you have anything special planned for the future?
I started a new regular event 2 weeks ago called Veggie Wednesday. It’s an event designed to encourage non-vegetarians to not consume meat and seafood for one day each week. I make it a rule that attendees must not consume meat and seafood the entire day before we meet for dinner. Of course, there isn't any way I can verify this, but so far, it’s been working well enough. As usual, the food quality during the dinner-meet needs to be high, but I'm making this meetup more focused on vegetarianism. As the attendees have to make a conscious switch away from meat and seafood, they are more open to discussions about vegetarianism, and that has proven to be correct based on the experiences of the first meet.
Any advice for people who might want to start a vegetarian Meetup or to reinvigorate an existing group?
Just do it! Everything begins with that first step. It may be hard to get the group going at first, so having very consistent meetups in the beginning is essential. It brings a level of trust to people, as they'll be able to feel your dedication. Also important is to try to make the events as social as possible, and avoid having speakers, special topics, etc, except perhaps a few times each year. Let the people that attend the meetups be the centre of attention, not the organiser, or some other speaker or topic. Most importantly, you need great food to attract the non-vegetarians. The vegetarians may attend purely for the social side of things, but it’s the food that attracts the other, sometimes bigger half of the crowd.
In the beginning when there are less members, it may be important to have a few light, friendly, ice-breaking topics on hand to keep the conversations flowing. From the most obvious, like asking why the vegetarians chose to switch, to the more obscure, like what people eat for breakfast every morning. Topics unrelated to vegetarianism should not be stopped; just let people do what they want unless religion or politics is brought up.
Review of ‘The Face on Your Plate’
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is a former Professor of Sanskrit and Project Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives who turned his attention to the emotional lives of animals around 15 years ago. Since that time he has written several popular books on the subject, including When Elephants Weep, Dogs Never Lie About Love, The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats, and The Pig Who Sang to the Moon, the last of which described the emotional lives of farmed animals and led to the author becoming a vegan. (Details of these and other publications can be found on the author’s website www.jeffreymasson.com.)
The Face on Your Plate -WW Norton, 271pp, pbk - presents the case for veganism. Each of the book's five chapters, as well as the lengthy introduction, can be viewed as separate essays. As might be expected, The Face on Your Plate draws heavily on the author's experiences researching and writing his previous books, especially in the second and fourth chapters which deal, respectively, with the conditions under which farm animals are reared and the reasons why most people implicitly deny the realities of animal farming through their choice of diet. The other three chapters present the environmental case for veganism, "the fishy business of aquaculture", and, finally, a discussion of the consequences for health of a plant-based diet and the author's own experience of life as a vegan. This last chapter is rather self-indulgent (do we really need to know what the author eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner?) and, with its many references to US grocery chains and exotic foods not generally found in the UK will be of limited use to British readers. Some of the arguments presented here are unconvincing, and insufficient evidence is presented in support of the extravagant claim that "from a purely scientific and nutritional point of view ... there is no healthier diet than a vegan one".
The author is on much firmer ground in other sections of the book where he appeals to the reader’s compassion rather than their self-interest. The first three chapters in particular contain plenty of valuable material and cogent arguments for veganism that will be of benefit to both the converted and the unconverted. The author’s informal, anecdotal style will appeal to many readers. He is astonishingly well read, as shown by the extensive recommended reading list, and some telling quotations are presented at the beginning of each chapter.
Masson’s arguments are unashamedly emotional. He wants the reader to empathise with farmed animals, to recognise the cruelties and deprivations inflicted upon them, to imagine themselves in their predicament, and ultimately to stop eating meat and other animal products – in short, to become a vegan. In answer to the charge that vegans care more about animals than they do about people, he asserts: “There is nothing more important to think about than the heart of empathy, which in the final analysis is nothing other than the ability to love. Becoming a vegan is simply one manifestation of that love.” Like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, quoted at the beginning of chapter four, Masson likens the adoption of a vegan diet to "a change of perception akin to a religious conversion". Though not the most cohesive argument for veganism, The Face on Your Plate has the potential to create many more converts.

New Book for Kids – ‘That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals’
Here’s the blurb from the book’s website www.wedonteatanimals.com
‘That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals’ takes a candid, compassionate look at the plight of animals on factory farms, using gorgeous artwork and lively text to introduce vegetarianism and veganism to early readers.
An endearing cast of animals is shown both in their natural state—rooting around, bonding, nuzzling, cuddling, grooming one another, and charming each other with their family instincts and rituals—and in the sad conditions of the factory farm. The book also addresses the effect eating animals has on our environment, rainforests, and endangered species. At the end, a section entitled “What Else Can We Do?” suggests ways children can learn more about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.
The boldest step yet in children’s literature, this heartfelt, informative book offers a key resource to inspire parents and children to talk about a timely, increasingly important subject.

The world longs for peace, respect and dignity. The Environment is being mercilessly destroyed and gives back its answer. Natural resources are being exhausted by the unsustainable exploitation imposed by a wasteful mode of life. We lose species diversity without even knowing it. Diseases, obesity, suffering and hunger abound.
After so many years of ideals of 'peace and love', 'gender and ethnic equality', ‘freedom of speech' and 'respect for nature' we still crawl on, delegating to others the task of bringing about lasting, real changes. By changing our life style we can play a vital role in the construction of the better world we all want, where the white dove of peace can rest her tired feet.

Livestock – sheep, cows, bulls, oxen – play an integral part in rural and urban Egyptian life.
Farmers depend on cows and oxen for milk and meat; many Egyptians still drink “loose milk”, brought into the city from small farms close to Cairo and Alexandria, believing it to be fresher than milk sold in supermarkets. Small town farmers also make a living selling their livestock in the city, to butchers and to individuals.
Cruelty to livestock in Egypt is one of our biggest problems, simply because there is so much livestock. The cruelty in raising, transporting and eventually slaughtering the animals is on such a large scale, because it takes place every day, and to so many animals.
Small Time Shepherds
Twice a year, small-town farmers make their way to the city to sell their sheep, cows ox and camels as part of the Islamic tradition of sacrificing an animal. The meat from the animal is given to the poor as a form of charity.
Before the two feasts, city streets are filled with shepherds leading their flocks of sheep through the city, in search of buyers. The sheep walk through traffic, cross roads and are herded in and out of every possible nook and cranny.
They are usually very badly handled once a sale is made – they’re transported in taxi’s, in car trunks, on donkey carts.
It is common practice for the members of the family who bought the sheep to slaughter it; obviously, most of them are inexperienced in slaughtering practices, and the animals more often than not suffer a slow and painful death.
The Bassateen Slaughterhouse saw one of the biggest scandals in terms of animal cruelty in 2006.
Animals Australia and the World Organization for Animal Healt (OIE)’s Terrestrial Animal Health Code 2005 investigated the practices at the Bassateen Slaughterhouse, leading to termination of the agreement between Egypt and Australia. The OIE represents 167 member countries, including Egypt and Australia.
General Principles of the OIE Animal Welfare Code on Slaughter of Animals for Human Consumption
These guidlienes apply to those domestic animals commonly slaughtered in slaughterhouses, that is: cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, der, horses, pigs, ratites and poultry. Other animals, wherever they have been reared, should be managed to ensure that their transport, lairaging, restraint and slaughter is carried out without causing undue stress to the animals; the principles underpinning these guidelines apply also to these animals Persons engaged in the unloading, moving, lairaging, care, restraining, stunning, slaughter and bleeding ogf animals play an important role in the welfare of those animals. For this reason, there should be a sufficient number of personnel, who should be patient, considerate, competent and familiar with the guidelines outlined in the present
The management of the slaughterhouse and the Veterinary Services should ensure that slaughterhouse staff carry out their tasks in accordance with the principles of animal welfare
Animal handlers should be experienced and competent in handling and moving farm livestock, and understand the behavior patterns of animals and the underlying principles necessary to carry our their tasks
The investigation found the following practices taking place, all of which breached the above code:
Handling and Restraint of Animals Prior to Slaughter:
Cattle had their rear leg tendons slashed to disable them prior to slaughter. Some were required to walk even after this injury.
Cattle were witnessed being stabbed in the eye with a knife Cattle were witnessed having their eyes aggressively poked by slaughter personnel after their throat was cut, and eye sockets used to manipulate heads into position prior to their throat being cut
Blindfolded cattle were moved through the use of a metal pole hitting rear legs and testicles before having leg tendons slashed and slaughtered whilst blindfolded
Cattle were unloaded from small trucks without ramps; cattle were forced to walk backwards and fall from trucks to ground
The Slaughter Process
Repeatedly, animals had their throats cut on more than one occasion; some animals were then cut again as they attempt to stand, stagger about and bleed out, for example 30 seconds after the first cut
Animals were routinely slaughtered in close proximity to other animals and left to bleed out on top of other dying animals
Cases were witnessed of cattle being slaughtered whilst blindfolded
An Australian-installed restraint box was clean and appeared to be unused. Cattle were walked past the restraint box to the other end of the facility. One animal was witnessed to be walked past the restraint box, then restrained and slaughtered by having leg tendons slashed, eye poked and throat slashed again at a 30 second interval after it had risen to its feet and staggered towards the investigator.
Camel slaughter: 3 camels were walked the length of the slaughter hall through carcasses and other dying camels, hit with sticks and had their throats slashed haphazardly while standing, collapsing and dying on each other
Local sheep were slaughtered without use of installed equipment; the ‘manual’ process of slaughter contradicts Islamic principles
In one case a child was allowed to attempt to cut an animal’s throat; the cutting process failed and a slaughterperson then cut the animal’s throat.
In one instance a slaughterperson complained about the sharpness of a knife used for slaughter and a replacement knife was sought
Mutilation of animals occurred during the slaughter process: cattle had their tails cut (close to the body) after the throat had been slashed
Holding and Slaughter Environments and Animal Distress
The slaughter environment at Bassateen introduced a wide range of unnecessary factors which can cause stress to the animals.
For example, animals were fully able to view other animals being killed and dying both prior to and during their own slaughter, as well as the sight and smell of blood.
Many people were present, plus a large amount of visual disturbance. Dying animals were further interfered with via poking and spraying of water (in the latter case by a woman and child).
There was a large amount of noise from equipment and shouting of personnel. Untrained persons were present e.g. families and children. The handling environment was slippery and covered in blood.
Animals were witnessed as being held waiting for slaughter on trucks and lightly tethered. | <urn:uuid:abfc9fc5-1083-43d2-ac4c-6f67f6210426> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://sparelives.org/index.pl/livestock | 2021-12-08T04:05:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363437.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208022710-20211208052710-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.972408 | 1,306 | [

President Harry S. Truman proposed a system of public health insurance in his November 19, 1945, address. He envisioned a national system that would be open to all Americans, but would remain optional. Participants would pay monthly fees into the plan, which would cover the cost of any and all medical expenses that arose in a time of need. The government would pay for the cost of services rendered by any doctor who chose to join the program. In addition, the insurance plan would give cash to the policy holder to replace wages lost because of illness or injury. The proposal was quite popular with the public, but it was fiercely opposed by the Chamber of Commerce, the American Hospital Association, and the AMA, which denounced it as "socialism".
California developed a solution to assist people across the state and is one of the few states to have an office devoted to giving people tips and resources to get the best care possible. California's Office of the Patient Advocate was established July 2000 to publish a yearly Health Care Quality Report Card on the top HMOs, PPOs, and Medical Groups and to create and distribute helpful tips and resources to give Californians the tools needed to get the best care.
Accident insurance was first offered in the United States by the Franklin Health Assurance Company of Massachusetts. This firm, founded in 1850, offered insurance against injuries arising from railroad and steamboat accidents. Sixty organizations were offering accident insurance in the US by 1866, but the industry consolidated rapidly soon thereafter. While there were earlier experiments, sickness coverage in the US effectively dates from 1890. The first employer-sponsored group disability policy was issued in 1911, but this plan's primary purpose was replacing wages lost because the worker was unable to work, not medical expenses.

For many Americans, especially those who struggle to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, health insurance may seem like an unnecessary expense. The opposite is true. While there are many smart ways to go about saving money, going without health insurance isn’t one of them. Forgoing coverage isn’t smart, nor will it save you money in the long run. The bottom line? Being uninsured is financially risky. | <urn:uuid:17c04b6d-e9ad-4428-b7f3-e5c7a298fb62> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://besthealthinsurance.top/anchorage/health-insurance-exemption-codes-anchorage-more-info-here.html | 2021-11-27T04:59:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358118.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127043716-20211127073716-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.973569 | 524 | [

Whether you are a mom who stays at home and runs a business or a mom who works outside the home, managing your time wisely is key to your sanity and survival.
Time management is something that you constantly need to be working on. As you move through different seasons of life, your circumstances may dictate how much time you have and how you spend your time.
For example, if you are a mom and building a business at home, you may not be able to dedicate 8 solid hours each day to your business. You may find that waking early to sneak in a couple of hours before your kids get up and then two more large chunks of working time is best for you and your family.
If you are a mom who works outside the home, you may find that you need to leave work to pick up your kids right when you are making huge headway on a project.
Whatever your case, keep an open mind as you experiment and find what works for you. There are some tips that can help you stay on top of managing your time. If you follow these tips, moving from season to season in your life won’t be quite as daunting.
Document How You Are Spending Your Time
This is a step most people would rather skip. It seems like a time wasting activity and a tedious process. Please trust the process, though! How many of us go through our day not really knowing what we did by the end? Be committed to doing the steps necessary for managing your time wisely.
Knowing how you spend your time will help you begin to evaluate what things can be given up or done by someone else. Keeping track of all your tasks and the amount of time you spent on each can be a real eye opener.
To do this, you simply need a clock of some sorts, a piece of paper, and a writing utensil. Keep them near you all day. Start by tracking the beginning and ending time of each activity and a description of the activity. Be sure to write everything down both business and personal related.
Be willing to do this activity each day over the course of a week or two to get accurate results.
Evaluate How You Spend Your Time
Once you’ve done this activity for a week or two, begin to ask yourself some questions about what you are doing and brainstorm possible solutions. The questions below will get you started. Some are specifically related to home life or business. However, some are applicable to both.
- Are there things you can outsource in your business or in your home?
- Can your spouse or children commit to helping out in some way?
- Is there an activity that you are doing that you really don’t enjoy?
- Are there systems you could put into place to reduce the time you spend on an activity?
- Would it be helpful to have a scheduled time to complete a task each day?
- Are there some systems or processes that could be improved?
While you are doing this activity, also begin to look for some trends. One thing I think is important is to figure out during which part of the day you are most productive. When do you feel most energized? When is it easiest to focus?
As you evaluate your time and activities, it’s important to keep all these things in mind.
Create A Plan To Improve Your Time Management
At this point you are ready to implement some changes in your day.
If there’s something you are doing that someone else could do, begin to make plans to hire someone. Focus on those tasks that you like least. In business, this could be admin tasks, posting on social media, or creating content. At home, this could be house cleaning, running errands, or preparing meals. Once you’ve identified a task to outsource, begin to document the steps you do to complete the task so the person you hire is well informed and set up for success.
If you’ve been able to identify a time when you are most productive, figure out a schedule in which you can focus on high priority tasks during that time. You may find you are most productive in the morning. If that’s the case, this is when you should plan to tackle the tasks that need a high level of focus. Don’t check social media at this time. Save that for another time in the day when your productivity levels aren’t as good. If you have small children in the home, make sure they have something to do during this time so you aren’t being interrupted.
Final Thoughts On Managing Your Time Wisely
There is no one perfect solution for everyone when it comes to time management. The important thing for you to remember is to keep trying new strategies until you find one that works. You may also find that what works for you changes with the different seasons of life and business that you go through.
Be flexible and open to the possibility of finding a new way of doing things. Continue to be a student of time management and brainstorm with friends if something stops working. Most importantly, be persistent! If you are, in no time you’ll find that you are managing your time wisely.

Jog Falls is a waterfall on the Sharavati river located in the Western Ghats near Sagar Taluk of Shivamogga District, Karnataka, India. It is the second highest plunge waterfall in India. It is a segmented waterfall which depends on rain and season becomes a plunge waterfall. The falls are major attractions for tourists and is ranked 36th in the list of free-falling waterfalls, 490th in the world by list of waterfalls by total height, 128th in the list of single-drop waterfalls in the World by the waterfall database.
Jog Falls is created by the Sharavati dropping 253 m (830 ft), making it the third-highest waterfall in India after the Nohkalikai Falls with a drop of 335 m (1,099 ft) in Meghalaya and Dudhsagar Waterfalls with a drop of 310 m (1,020 ft) in Goa.
Sharavathi, a river which rises at Ambutirtha, next to Nonabur, in the Thirthahalli taluk and takes the northwesterly course by Fatte petta, receives the Haridravati on the right below Pattaguppe and the Yenne Hole on the left above Barangi. On arriving at the frontier it bends to the west, precipitates itself down the Falls of Gersoppa, and passes that village (properly Geru-Sappe), which is some 30 kilometres (19 mi) distant, discharging into the Arabian sea at Honnavar in Uttara Kannada.
The Sharavati, flowing over a very rocky bed about 250 yards (230 m) wide, here reaches a tremendous chasm, 290 m (950 ft) deep, and the water comes down in four distinct falls. The Raja Fall pours in one unbroken column sheer to the depth of 250 m (830 ft). Halfway down it is encountered by the Roarer, another fall, which precipitates itself into a vast cup and then rushes violently downwards to meet the Raja. A third fall, the Rocket, shoots downwards in a series of jets; while the fourth, the Rani, moves quietly over the mountainside in a sheet of foam. The Tourism Department has built steps from the viewpoint to the bottom of the hill where the waterfall can be seen at the opposite side. There are approximately 1400 steps built to reach the bottom of the hill.
Associated with the waterfall is the nearby Linganamakki Dam across the Sharavati River. The power station has been operational since 1948 and is of 120 MW capacity, one of the largest hydroelectric stations in India at that time and a small source of electric power for Karnataka now. The power station was previously named Krishna Rajendra hydro-electric project, after the King of Mysore at that time. The name was later changed to Mahatma Gandhi Hydro-electric Project. It was served by The Hirebhaskara dam until 1960. After 1960, due to the ideas of Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya, Linganmakki Dam has been used for power generation.
The hydro-electric project was conceived by the government of Mysore in mid-1943. A scheme to generate 64,000 horsepower at a cost of ₹358 lakh was designed. The Power House on the right bank of the Gerusoppa dam consists of four Francis-type turbines coupled to the generating units of 60 MW each. The units are configured to operate at a design head of 47.5 mtrs. An outdoor switchyard is located between the toe of the dam and the power house. Power from the outdoor yard is evacuated through a 220 KV double circuit transmission line connected to the state grid at Talaguppa.
The capacity was increased subsequently and currently generates 240 MW of power.
Jog Falls is situated in Sagar Taluk of Shimoga District. The Western Ghats gives rise to the Sharavati river that plunges from a height of 829 feet (253 m) in four magnificent cascades namely Raja, Rani, Roarer and Rocket. Jog Falls, being the tallest waterfalls in India is situated in the dense evergreen forests, 16 km (9.9 mi) from Talguppa nearest railway station, Shimoga district, Karnataka.

I cannot create a Backup Repository on an NFS share with NAKIVO Backup & Replication. The Backup Repository creation fails with an error.
A Backup Repository is a folder used by NAKIVO Backup & Replication to store VM backups. When you create a Backup Repository, NAKIVO Backup & Replication creates a folder named “NakivoBackup” in the specified location and stores backup data and metadata in that folder.
Make sure that:
- The folder where you want to create the Backup Repository already exists on the share.
- You have read and write permissions to the share.
- You have provided the right mount path to the share.
- The "Squash" option is set to "map all users to admin".
- You can access the share from the machine on which the Transporter is installed.
- Try using the IP address of the share server instead of the hostname to eliminate possible DNS issues.

This partial list above was sent to me by my cousin who is a retired high school teacher and I’m unsure of the author, but these four items quickly resonated with me.
You see, for the past several years, I’ve been partially guilty of not following some of this advice. But what’s old anyway? Although, I am at a stage in my life where, call it exhaustion or a new understanding of the younger versions of me, I would really like to excel at these suggestions.
I have tried the art of mentoring, which I believe the opposite of these ideas could be part of, but have come up confused and discouraged.
In my early 20’s, I began mentoring a young girl through adulthood. While she was a quick learner, she later made choices and decisions that have flabbergasted me. Then, there was another mentee who asked me to provide professional mentoring who quickly morphed into someone that became unrecognizable to me.
Now, I have always been a person anyway, that was quick to share what I’ve learned with others, both personally and professionally. These teaching opportunities were random and would occur at a patient’s bedside, on our unit’s medication room, or in our staff lounge. Personal opportunities for teaching came while I prepared a meal, baked, made travel plans, calculated our family budget, and even just out and about.
However, after seeing the above list as well as the other suggestions, I’ve felt a relief and a sense of freedom from my normal inclination. Coincidentally, just recently, I found myself offering up to a future nurse ideas to expand her knowledge and experience. She did seem interested. However, with many of my other teachable encounters, I have been met with indifference. Many of the younger up and coming crew projected an image that they already had everything they needed.
Hence, after reading the above advice, I excitedly welcomed it and embraced it and even decided I would try them. Quick update on my progress: this morning I found myself giving advice to a young lady having her first child. I quickly regretted that I had fallen prey so soon to my impulse. But wait, I’m not old YET, right?!!!! That advice is meant for OLD people, and what age is old anyway. Btw, I’m now the event planner for her baby shower!
We’ll see how much success I achieve with my above resolve, because I truly believe I feel a sense of relief just reading the list. I look forward to the creation of new possibilities in my life!
Here’s a freebie (lol): I so admire people my age and older for the wisdom they have earned after much ‘sweat and blood.’ I look forward to chatting and admiring the many I will encounter, uhh, just for my own edification and pleasure.
More to come… | <urn:uuid:d65e133a-021f-4332-ad7f-cfcb287448ae> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://lifewithoutmentors.com/2021/07/28/getting-old-heres-advice-from-someone-young-me/ | 2021-11-30T08:26:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358966.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130080511-20211130110511-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.975741 | 693 | [

After botched deliveries hobbled schools as they tried to adopt new curriculums last year, the city Department of Education has overhauled the way schools will order and receive city-recommended teaching materials this year.
But the department did not amend its list of endorsed Common Core curriculums, despite educators’ criticism about the ones recommended last year. Nor will it help schools change their curriculum choices.
Publishers will now ship student books, teacher guides, and other materials directly to the elementary and middle schools that order them, rather than to city-contracted delivery companies as was the case last year. Schools will now be able to track the status of those shipments, which should arrive in July, according to a department memo sent to principals last week. And schools will be able to monitor in real-time how much money they have available to spend on materials when they begin ordering next month.
The changes follow widespread glitches in curriculum delivery this year, the first that city schools were encouraged to buy curriculums aligned to the new Common Core learning standards. Books arrived months late at some schools, frustrating teachers’ efforts to plan ahead for the year. Other schools received incomplete or incorrect orders. At South Bronx Preparatory, for example, teachers had to photocopy the first several chapters of a novel that students needed for the first reading unit but did not arrive until October.
Since taking office in January, Chancellor Carmen Fariña has discussed the new standards and curriculums with educators across the city, including principals who voiced concerns not just about the bungled deliveries but also about the materials themselves.
“As I visit many of your schools and talk with you at events around the city, I hear your concerns regarding Core Curriculum materials and supports,” Fariña wrote in last week’s memo. “We have undertaken significant efforts to respond to and address the feedback that we have received from you thus far.”
With a financial incentive in place, about 90 percent of elementary and middle schools decided to purchase curriculums that the city endorsed this year. But some schools have reported problems with the design of the materials, not just their delivery.
The complaints range from small errors in student workbooks to more fundamental concerns — especially, that the content in the new curriculums is beyond the abilities of many students, particularly ones with special needs. ReadyGen, an elementary school literacy curriculum produced for the city by the publisher Pearson, attracted more criticism than some of the other recommended programs.
During a meeting with Fariña in January, principals from around the city called out ReadyGen as “problematic,” requested more curriculum options tailored to students with special needs, and asked for more professional development, according to a written summary of the meeting. They also reported a lack of Common Core-related support for high schools and noted that the city has not recommended any high school-level curriculums tied to the standards.
In the memo, Fariña pledges to launch “a comprehensive review” to find additional Common Core materials and to improve the existing ones. She has also promised more training.
But in the end, the education department decided to stick with ReadyGen and its other recommended curriculums for next school year.
It also did not recommend any Common Core materials for high schools. “A lot of the high school people did not want a curriculum,” Fariña said in an interview with Chalkbeat New York last month. “They wanted to develop their own.” She said one idea is to help high schools share teacher-made materials with one another.
Last year, elementary and middle schools that opted to buy the recommended materials received city money to supplement the annual curriculum funds they receive from the state. But this year, schools that are unhappy with a curriculum they chose and want to switch to a different recommended option will not receive any city subsidies, the memo to principals said.
Some of the city-recommended materials have been revised. For example, ReadyGen’s teacher’s guide, student journals, teaching-strategies handbook, and assessment guide have all been updated based on teacher feedback, according to a spokesman.
Some educators remain skeptical of the endorsed curriculums.
Katie Lapham, a teacher who works with English-language learners at P.S. 214 in Brooklyn and who has criticized the ReadyGen materials, said she was not convinced that the revisions would amount to more than minor tweaks.
“Will they also address our concerns about the texts and the performance tasks/questions that we feel are developmentally inappropriate and uninspiring?” she wrote in an email.

As a long-time resident of the Downtown Eastside, Bernie Williams has seen firsthand the often-inhumane struggles faced by the area’s homeless population.
When it comes to describing some of the cruelties she’s witnessed, the bold yet humble Haida artist doesn’t hold back:
“I’ve watched some of the kids that come into this community urinate on homeless people who are sleeping in alcoves,” she tells the Straight. “This is not how we treat human beings.”
The injustices faced by this population, she says, are things few would expect to see in a civilized society, but thanks to a wave of gentrification in the area, living options for residents of the DTES have dwindled significantly, making them targets for acts of violence, bullying, racism, and more.
Gentrification, she says, is what first spurred the idea to create what eventually became known as the Survivors’ Totem Pole: something for residents of the area that, at the very least, could be a symbol of hope.
The Haida-born artist, who also goes by her Haida name, Gul Kitt Jaad, meaning Golden Spruce Woman, has spent her life advocating to stop violence against murdered and missing women, and to creating art.
Williams credits Mark Townsend, former co-executive director of the Portland Hotel Society, for first expressing an interest in marking the area with something to commemorate residents facing oppression.
“He was really concerned about the people in Pigeon Park once the new businesses started moving in, about where these people would go,” Williams says, seated on a red leather couch in her work space on West Cordova, where the walls are plastered with images of women who have been murdered or gone missing.
The space is also the headquarters for the Sacred Circle Society, which raised donations through a Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation and installation of the pole.
“Pigeon Park has always been very significant for people from all walks of life, so we started talking to the matriarchs, hereditary chiefs, the Japanese and Chinese communities, South Asian, Filipino, and Latin-American communities, and the First Nations communities about creating something.”
The grassroots movement began five years ago, and Williams says it has been a tough but rewarding process.
After consultations with the City of Vancouver regarding the location of the pole, and support from the Musqueum, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, the Survivors’ Totem Pole will be erected this Saturday (November 5) in Pigeon Park, at noon.
The pole, carved from a 27-foot, 982-year-old red cedar log, is the first of its kind, in that it will represent all cultures.
“This pole is for everybody: it represents the resilience of everyone who has faced racism, colonialism, sexism, LGBTQ-bashing, gentrification, and more,” Williams says. “These things have really affected this whole community. We want to let people that are moving into this area know that this is a great community, that we are still part of it, and we’re not going away.
“We are here to stay, and this pole is a lasting legacy for these people, and all the people that have helped make this happen.”
Audrey Siegl, a board member of the Sacred Circle Society and activist who is Musqueam, says so much of what has occurred in the DTES comes down to one thing: the continued prioritization, by all levels of government, of dollars over life.
“The end result is that everybody loses. This pole is a win-win,” she says.
“I look at the women around me, at the women like Bernie, and I know that it’s an uphill battle, but we have every reason to be hopeful, simply because we still exist, and because we are able to join together and support projects like the Survivors’ Totem,” she says. “This day isn’t about politics. It isn’t about anything except for the people down here who deserve to be honoured and commemorated.”
The pole will be Williams’s third in Vancouver; her first two can be seen at First United Church (320 East Hastings) and at Van Tech Secondary (2600 East Broadway). The sole female apprentice of renowned Haida artist Bill Reid, Williams says one of the greatest lessons she ever learned from the master carver was never to get complacent.
“He taught me that I could always do better, and I strive to do better all the time,” she says. “This pole is bigger than anything I’ve done, but it’s not about accolades; it’s a huge testament of the people, of how they’ve all come together. This is not my project, this is all of ours. I was gifted with this ability, and when I was asked to do it, we did it together. I worked with nine indigenous women from across Canada and three indigenous men to carve the Survivors’ Pole. This is their first time carving a pole and they are excited.”
Townsend, reached by phone at his home in New York City, says he’s always admired Williams for her unwavering commitment to the community.
“She’s a feisty lady, and I found that inspiring,” he says. “There isn’t space for people who live down there. They are not celebrated; they are brutalized. I hope that this piece of Bernie’s work ultimately is not just symbolism, but a piece with spiritual meaning that says, ‘There is a space for you, and you are welcome’.”
Williams and the carvers asked that a line from the poem by the late Sandy Cameron, a long-time activist and community member, be engraved on the base of the totem pole. It says:
Sing your song, friend.
Tell your story.
The map we inherited
Isn’t any good.
The old roads mislead.
We need a new map.
The Survivors’ Totem Pole raising ceremony will take place this Saturday. All are invited to gather at the corner of Main and Hastings at 11:30 a.m. for a procession to Pigeon Park, where the ceremony will begin at noon. Refreshments and entertainment to follow. | <urn:uuid:dffd244c-7f96-445e-aa50-aa2f8662173f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.straight.com/arts/821626/bernie-williamss-survivors-totem-pole-will-be-symbol-hope-residents-downtown-eastside | 2021-11-30T09:52:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358966.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130080511-20211130110511-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.9687 | 1,365 | [

“We are tired of this situation, the biggest reason for the demonstration is despair, they force us to be in the system where we are in search of a vacancy for the last 24 hours, and we are workers, we are not criminals, we pay taxes, and the Government must see that", told Lusa the organizer of the demonstration, Juliete Cristina. For this Brazilian, who has been in Portugal since 2019 without getting a residence permit, the password allocation system through a computer platform of the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF) encourages illegalities and extortion.
"There are people who make it by luck, others are paying, a lawyer tried to charge me 300 euros [for a vacancy to attend SEF], and a person in a moment of despair, after being here for three or four years, ends up paying , but I don't pay, because that's unfair," said the immigrant in statements to Lusa at Terreiro do Paço, in Lisbon.
Immigrants currently concentrated in Lisbon defend that the granting of a residence permit should be done in chronological order and that the process be automated from the moment that SEF gives the 'green light' to the reception of the documents, which are delivered digitally, arguing that "there is no reason to stay in this agony" after the documents are approved. "We put the document on the online portal, we wait up to 90 days for the SEF to approve the document, which is the legal deadline, but it takes eight months to a year for approval, and then there is still another platform to schedule, and what we ask is that it is done in chronological order," explained Juliete Cristina. "Those who arrive now don't have a job, have time to watch their cell phone all the time, and get a job, and I've been here for two years paying taxes and contributing to Social Security, I can't, this is unfair", pointed.
For the organizer of the demonstration, this situation is equivalent to an arrest and a withdrawal of rights such as traveling, buying a car or even finding a job. "We don't have the right to go to another country, we don't have the right to live, we're stuck in this country. I can't travel in the European Union because I don't have a residence, we're tied up, it's not just Brazilians or Africans, it's everyone, this happen to all immigrants, we are treated like garbage".
The Associação Solidariedade Imigrante recently denounced to Lusa that there are “authentic mafias” selling SEF appointments to immigrants for hundreds of euros. “The organized mafias and law firms take all the appointments. When they open appointments, they last 15 minutes on the SEF platform”, maintained the association's president, realising that immigrants are “being exploited” when they are charged “hundreds of euros for an appointment”. In early June, the Minister of Internal Affairs recognised in parliament that there is an “illegitimate appropriation” of digital agendas in SEF for immigrants, advancing that this system is currently under review.
Eduardo Cabrita underlined that internal investigations and the Public Ministry did not investigate criminal responsibility, but identified “erroneous practices, especially of some law firms that in the end monopolized the openings of digital appointments”, having been “set limits to the number of appointments made”. The Left Block has denounced that there are immigrants who take more than two years to get an appointment at the Foreigners and Borders Service, as well as the difficulties in accessing the SAPA platform.
In June, the SEF informed Lusa that the vacancies to assist immigrants who have processes pending in that service are “fully filled by 30th October” and there is no forecast of opening new vacancies. Data released at that time also indicated that 223,000 foreigners with cases pending at SEF have their situation regularised temporarily in Portugal due to the covid-19 pandemic, covered by an order of 30 April that allows them to obtain the user number, access to the Service National Health Service, social support services and the signing of leases and employment contracts, as well as opening bank accounts and contracting essential public services. | <urn:uuid:9ba86ef6-74e8-44bf-b865-581bcab626c6> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2021-07-12/immigrants-say-they-are-treated-like-garbage-and-denounce-injustices-at-sef/61024 | 2021-11-30T10:17:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358966.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130080511-20211130110511-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.96966 | 885 | [

As a moderator of the /r/BasicIncome subreddit, I read a lot of links every year about UBI, probably around 100 per month. Once again, as I did last year, I’ve compiled a list of the ten articles/papers/reports I consider the most important to read out of everything published this year. Please bookmark, read and share away!
10) “The Role of Luck in Life Success Is Far Greater Than We Realized” by Scott Barry Kaufman for Scientific American
My first selection for this list is one that never even mentioned the words “basic income” but as you’ll discover in the following excerpt from it, there’s no other conclusion to reach than that a basic income would lead to far more meritocratic outcomes, which in my opinion is an extremely powerful argument for basic income.
The best funding strategy of them all was one where an equal number of funding was distributed to everyone. Distributing funds at a rate of 1 unit every five years resulted in 60% of the most talented individuals having a greater than average level of success, and distributing funds at a rate of 5 units every five years resulted in 100% of the most talented individuals having an impact! This suggests that if a funding agency or government has more money available to distribute, they’d be wise to use that extra money to distribute money to everyone, rather than to only a select few. As the researchers conclude,”if the goal is to reward the most talented person (thus increasing their final level of success), it is much more convenient to distribute periodically (even small) equal amounts of capital to all individuals rather than to give a greater capital only to a small percentage of them, selected through their level of success – already reached – at the moment of the distribution.”
Essentially, without basic income, “mediocre-but-lucky” people tend to be much more successful than “more-talented-but-unlucky” people, and the most successful people of all tend to be those who are only slightly above average in talent but have a lot of luck in their lives. With basic income, because people with skill and talent have the resources to not suffer disastrous bad luck, they are able to rise above those with less skill and talent whose luck would prevent them from disaster.
It turns out that unconditional basic income functions as universal good luck!
9) “The New York Times Gets the Finland Basic Income Story Wrong” by Matt Bruenig for People’s Policy Project
If it’s one thing that had the potential to drive me crazy in 2018, it’s all the misinformation spewed onto the internet from all over the place about Finland’s basic income experiment, including from the paper of record itself, the NYT. Matt Bruenig does an exemplary job in this article of not only correcting the record by fact-checking the NYT, but going underneath it with survey info, to show that even the idea that the people of Finland have somehow turned their back on UBI is wrong.
No, Finland did not cancel their experiment. It was a two-year experiment from inception that took place over 2017 and 2018. The data is now being evaluated and we’ll know this year what happened in 2017, and we’ll know the final results of the entire experiment in 2020. This information is directly from the experimenters themselves.
8) “The Great Equalizer: What Dolly Parton and a Tennessee Wildfire Can Teach About Universal Basic Income” by Daniela Perdomo for In The Mesh
In late 2016, a forest fire in Tennessee burned down about 1,000 homes, and in response Dolly Parton came to the rescue of the newly homeless victims with $1,000 per month for five months followed by an additional (and entirely unexpected) $5,000 check in the sixth month for a grand total of $10,000. The results of this basic income were then analyzed by Stacia West. You can read her full report here, but this article is a summary of that report. A 10-minute video documentary was also made, which you can watch here.
Basically, basic income increased resiliency to disaster by helping everyone get back on their feet faster by providing people with what they needed most – cash to self-determine their own priorities. The following excerpt really says it all:
“It was very rare, I can almost get a tear. I just — to talk about it is one thing, but when it happens to you…,” Don Daily trails off for a moment. “I can get a little emotional about it, because it’s just not the way it’s supposed to work, and it did. It did. Saved people’s lives. If nothing else, up in their head where they could keep going on. Just take those next steps.” Daily says the checks were important because we live in “a money world,” but that just as valuable was the freedom and dignity he experienced. And he finds the Gatlinburg community has changed: “People are helping people who weren’t helping before. You can’t buy that.”
7) “Nearly Half of You Reading This Have Bullshit Jobs” by Nick Romeo for the Daily Beast
There was a lot of coverage in 2018 of David Graeber’s book Bullshit Jobs: A Theory, which I absolutely recommend reading in full, but I liked this article about it best because it was a nice in-depth interview with David himself that functions as a solid summary of the book for those without the necessary time to read the book itself.
Learn about flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box checkers, and taskmasters, and consider not only the depth of the problem of a system that’s creating entirely unnecessary work, but also how important unconditional basic income is to finally escaping said system.
6) “Universal Resource Inheritance” by Dan Larimer
It’s been interesting watching Dan Larimer, creator of BitShares, Steemit, and EOS deepen his understanding of basic income over time, from his posts on Steemit about UBI, to this essay on Medium where he essentially makes Thomas Paine’s argument on a worldwide level. As a libertarian you can see his dislike of taxation and welfare, but you can also see his immense dislike of natural resource-based domination. To square these, he suggests a UBI funded by a 5% annual tax on wealth, not based on need, but based on everyone’s rightful inheritance of natural resource wealth redistributed every year over an assumed 100-year lifespan. His main premise is natural inheritance and the challenge of making sure each generation, including those not yet born for thousands of years to come rightfully inherit their share of the Earth.
This is a great essay to share with those most hardcore of conservatives and libertarians who shout that taxation is theft while entirely ignoring the theft of the Earth by those who claimed it as theirs long ago. It also should be read by everyone in the blockchain/cryptocurrency world.
5) “Basic Income or Basic Services” by Simon Duffy for the Centre for Welfare Reform AND “Universal Basic Services and how it compares to Universal Basic Income” by Jack Perry for Ideas For Today
I’m listing two here because I recommend reading them both, and I like sharing them both. It’s hard for me to say which I like better because they’re both great looks at UBI vs UBS, but they each compare them in different ways. Simon’s is more of a big picture vs. big picture breakdown of the two, and Jack’s is more of a detailed breakdown of each service compared to cash. Read them both, bookmark them both, and share either one when someone suggests a bunch of free goods and services would be a better option than providing people with any cash to pay for goods and services.
As Simon concludes his piece with, “UBI is not a silver bullet in the fight for social justice – but it is at least a real and definable bullet. UBS – at least presented as an ‘alternative’ to UBI – looks like a blank.”
4) “The Labor Market Impacts of Universal and Permanent Cash Transfers: Evidence from the Alaska Permanent Fund” by Damon Jones and Ioana Elena Marinescu
This was my favorite paper of the year involving new research in support of basic income. Through the clever creation of a “synthetic Alaska” (a kind of alternate universe Alaska that never introduced it’s annual cash dividend) Damon and Ioana cleverly tease out an estimate of the impact of Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend since its start in 1982. The results? Basically, a bit less-full time employment neutralized by an increase in full-time employment through a stimulated economy, in addition to a 17% increase in part-time employment. If you think providing everyone with a financial floor will lead to economic devastation brought on by less stuff getting done, Alaska’s long-term provision of cash to everyone proves you wrong.
3) “Smart money: Why the world should embrace universal basic income” by Annie Lowrey for The Globe and Mail
I feel that every year this list requires the best new UBI summary, something to use to introduce people to the idea. That book this year is Annie Lowrey’s “Give People Money“, but that article in my opinion is what Annie wrote here through a Canadian context for the Globe and Mail. It’s got historical background. It’s got evidence with newly created charts. It’s even got a few quotes from me. Annie got a lot of media coverage in 2018 for basic income through her book’s publication, and until you read it, at least read this.
2) “The Desire For Work As An Adaptive Preference” by Michael Cholbi for Autonomy
I read so many things about basic income that are just mostly the same thing remixed in all kinds of ways, so it’s really refreshing to read something that really makes me think and reflect on basic income in a new way. This is one of those few that manages to be something novel and thought-provoking. In it, Cholbi makes the case that our desire for work is a behavioral adaptation born of unjust conditions where we have no choice but to work. This understanding is an important consideration as we look at policies designed around automation. People will want to keep working even as there is less need to work, so besides basic income, we need policies that help shift society away from a maladaptive desire to work work work, by pursuing policies like shorter working weeks and lower retirement ages that reduce work.We must consciously “un-adapt” from a work-centered society, and that means also avoiding solutions like JG which perpetuate work-centricity.
We are foxes and leisure time is our grapes. With the rise of automation, it’s time we stop looking at leisure as sour, simply because for centuries, we were forbidden from enjoying it.
1) “Basic Income, Not Basic Jobs: Against Hijacking Utopia” by Scott Alexander of Slate Star Codex
I don’t think there was any link I shared more in 2018 than this link, and it remains one of my absolute favorite breakdowns of the job guarantee versus basic income debate. In this 13,000 word tome of logic and rational thought, Scott obliterates the notion of a jobs guarantee being better than a basic income guarantee. Those who read every word of this and conclude UBI sucks and that unlimited government job creation is a superior response to the automation of labor are simply living somewhere other than reality, or are hiding their true reasoning, possibly even from themselves.
If there’s one thing about basic income published in 2018 that you can’t not read, it’s this one.
Bonus Link: If there’s one article of my own among those I’ve written this year that I’d select for such a list, it’s probably The Monster’s, Inc. Argument for Unconditional Basic Income, which also got turned into an 11-minute video essay if you’d prefer to watch it instead of read it.
Cheers, and here’s to 2019 being an ever bigger year for the basic income movement than 2018! | <urn:uuid:20423314-0048-4620-b607-63795afd784d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://basicincometoday.com/top-10-basic-income-articles-of-2018/ | 2021-12-01T21:09:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360951.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201203843-20211201233843-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.960224 | 2,628 | [

Ammonia–borane: the hydrogen source par excellence?
Ammonia–borane, H3NBH3, is an intriguing molecule for chemical hydrogen storage applications. With both protic N–H and hydridic B–H bonds, three H atoms per main group element, and a low molecular weight, H3NBH3 has the potential to meet the stringent gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage capacity targets needed for transportation applications. Furthermore, devising an energy-efficient chemical process to regenerate H3NBH3 from dehydrogenated BNHx material is an important step towards realization of a sustainable transportation fuel. In this perspective we discuss current progress in catalysis research to control the rate and extent of hydrogen release and preliminary efforts at regeneration of H3NBH3.

How to Save Stamp Duty on Shares
Tax is payable on the purchase of shares in the UK – known as Stamp Duty on paper transactions, and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) on...
Read More >
Umbrella payroll schemes are one of the most common failed tax avoidance schemes. Your pay from the umbrella company is divided into a small payment which goes through the payroll and is subject to PAYE (indicating that you are only paying tax on some of your income) and a much larger payment without any tax or national insurance deducted.
This larger payment comes from a different account than the first payment and usually from overseas.
Your payslip, however, shows the larger payment separately and refers to it as something other than pay such as a loan, credit or investment payment – and this is what poses an issue.
The scheme promoter promises the users of these failed tax avoidance schemes that they can keep up to 95% of your pay without tax or national insurance (and some promoters even claim that HMRC is aware of and have approved the arrangement – even though this is seldom the case). The payment may have even been sent through various companies before it comes to you.
Risk rating: very high risk; these schemes may involve professional negligence, dishonesty and non-disclosure and therefore can cross the line from tax avoidance into tax evasion, at least as far as the scheme promoter is concerned. Many users may have been deceived by the promoter into thinking it was above board and legal, but HMRC is likely to consider that as the scheme was “too good to be true” the user must in some way have been complicit leading at least to civil penalties for careless or deliberate behaviour.
Disguised remuneration schemes can come in many different forms, but what they have in common is that the promoters claim that the schemes replace (taxable) income with (non-taxable) payments such as loans out of an employee benefit trust. The Supreme Court decided in the Rangers case that many of these schemes do not work as a technical matter and that the tax avoided is still payable.
If you have used one of these schemes HMRC have put the matter beyond doubt by the loan charge that applies to all disguised remuneration loans that were outstanding on 5 April 2019 and charges tax on all outstanding disguised remuneration loans made since 9 December 2010 at your highest marginal rate i.e. up to 45% in one go.
If you need to report an outstanding disguised remuneration loan in the 2018 to 2019 tax year, and you have not done so already, you now have until 30 September 2020 to file your self assessment tax return.
Do not be distracted by some promoters claiming that the April 2019 loan charge is unlawful retrospective taxation that is open to a judicial review: it is not retrospective and only seeks payment of tax that was due at the time the loans were made or will be due on loans remaining outstanding in April 2019. Moreover, in R (Cartref) v HMRC EWHC 3382 (Admin) the High Court concluded that the loan charge legislation was compatible with the Human Rights Act 1998 and did not constitute a breach of article 1 protocol 1 (A1P1) or article 6 and in Zeeman and Murphy v HMRC EWHC 794 (Admin) where the High Court dismissed two judicial review claims challenging the validity of the loan charge legislation on the basis of the Human Rights Act 1998. The High Court agreed with the approach taken in Cartref and found that, in the context of tax avoidance, the loan charge was justified by legitimate policy and was fair and reasonable in all the circumstances. The court considered the claim on the basis of the loan charge legislation as it then currently stood, i.e. applying to loans from April 1999, as the Finance Act 2020, which carves any pre-9 December 2010 loans from the charge, had not yet received royal assent.
Should you require advice and representation to settle with HMRC, click here to instruct Patrick Cannon today. Patrick advises users of failed tax avoidance schemes about settlement with HMRC and also on claims for professional negligence.
Patrick Cannon can also advise on:
Users of failed tax avoidance schemes need to take steps to resolve their position with HMRC immediately. The first and most important thing to do is to seek professional advice as you may face a civil or criminal tax investigation. You may be able to claim for professional negligence against the scheme provider or your adviser.
In most cases it is best to inform HMRC and in the case of disguised remuneration schemes, you must inform HMRC. HMRC have published reporting guidance if you had loans outstanding on 5 April, 2019.
The basic tax avoidance penalties in the UK are:

BIRD-WATCHING IN THE ALGARVE
Best known for its mild climate and beautiful beaches, the Algarve has a lot more to offer, all year round.
With more than 300 birds of regular occurrence in the area, and a wide variety of habitats, the Algarve is a top quality destination for birdwatchers, as well as for all who want to relax and enjoy the natural wonders of the region.
Several wetlands like the Ria de Alvor, the Lagoa dos Salgados, the Ria Formosa, or Castro Marim harbour a large variety of nesting birds, such as the Red crested pochard, the Purple heron, the Western swamp-hen, the Audouin’s gull, and the Little tern. During the winter, these coastal havens become filled with thousands of wintering water-birds such as ducks and waders. And all these places are only a few km away from each other.
Mountainous areas like Monchique can be a refuge on hotter days. The habitat here is predominantly comprised of forest and high altitude bush-land, and some of the species typical in these parts include the Bonelli’s eagle, and the Dartford warbler. In the heart of the Algarve, the Serra do Caldeirão is a vast remote place where the Algarve’s “Barrocal” reaches its full splendour. Species like the Golden oriole and the scarcer Western orphean warbler are some of the iconic birds of such a unique habitat.
Towards the end of summer and autumn, the post-courtship migration is an ancient event that you don’t want to miss. The Sagres Peninsula in particular congregates hundreds of soaring birds, and millions of Passeriformes throughout the migration season, especially in September and October, but also during November. The Griffon vulture, the Short-toed snake eagle, the Booted-eagle, the Black kite, the Buzzard, and the Sparrow-hawk are the most abundant. However, all birds of prey sighted in Portugal to this day have also been spotted in Sagres during the migration season. Others scarcer species are also regulars, such as the Egyptian vulture, and the Black stork. The most abundant migrating Passeriformes are the several kinds of Old World warblers (including Redstarts, Sylviidae, and Flycatchers) and the Greenland wheatear. And it’s always worth keeping an eye out for the opportunity of recording a rarity…
The cliffs on the Western Algarve, alongside their majestic beauty, harbour species like the Peregrine falcon, the White stork, the Blue rock thrush, and the Chough.
The Algarve’s Coast is also a good vantage point for watching seabirds, and bird watching from places like the Cabo São Vicente can be an enticing experience. These waters are important for species like the Cory’s shearwater, the Balearic shearwater, the Great black-backed gull or the Great skua. The migration season is when the variety of seabirds is at its peak, with the regular presence of species like the Great shearwater and the Wilson’s petrel.
Even throughout winter, in the heart of the off-season, with deserted beaches, but still nice temperatures, the fields overflow with Pewits, Thrushes, Finches and, Corn buntings, and you can even find some scarcer and more localized visitors, such as the Richard’s pipit or the Caspian tern, in the right spots.
Other target species typical of Southern Europe, such as the Azure-winged magpie, the Bea-eater, the Hoopoe or the Red-rumped swallow are quite common here, as well as evenly distributed.
The Algarve sure is a region to explore for birdwatchers, where besides the ornithological potential, and short distances between bird watching spots, you can find a wide variety of flora and be carried away by the dazzling landscapes. | <urn:uuid:a3dce6a1-6f35-4870-a34e-c4fd3b0d25d2> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://portugalsoul.com/en/dima-portfolio/birdwatching/ | 2021-12-03T13:11:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362879.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203121459-20211203151459-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.932784 | 873 | [

A disabled person's vehicle can be repossessed just as any other person's vehicle can be repossessed. You must make all payments on your vehicle if you want to keep it.
Nothing that I know of, maybe a civil suit. You are learning the pitfalls of co-signing the hard way. Keep the lender aware of the signors address( so the lender can pester them as well as you), any windfall money the signor may get to collect from by the lender,ect. Good Luck
"How do you find out if you are responsible ..... but you co signed on it."" You co-signed, you are responsible. What do you think "co-signing" is for? Call a local attorney.
When a car has been repossessed the person paying the insurance should cancel it.
What will write in column capacity of signatory in tender form
You should discuss this with an attorney, but the investigation will likely center on the person it was repossessed from.
Repossessed cars are usually auctioned off in the county they were repoed in, you can also try this link to help find repossessed cars, http://ultracarfinder.com/
no it can't
NO, not unless he co-signor files B/K also. But do be sure to tell your B/K attorney that there is a co-signor.
To ensure that the person who is signing their name to the document ACTUALLY IS that person.
It means the person signing the document avows that they ARE that person and they acknowledge the contents of whatever it is that is in the document they are signing.
payer or payee, deponds on which person it signing it.
Yes, there are some instances that a person can get a repossessed car back in the state of Iowa. If the person pays all the money owed plus a repo fee, the car may be returned.
Repossessed cars are typically cleaned up and resold on a dealers lot. However, if the lienholder (the person who repossessed it) feels that it will cost too much to restore the vehicle to a sellable status, they will just put it in an auction and take whatever they can get for it. Repossessed cars are first examined fully to determine the remaining value of the car. If the car is suitable for repossession, it will be resold to another person for a discounted price.
NO. A persn who is incarcerated cannot collect unemployment.
Yes, a person can legally change the color of their car after signing the contract. After the person signs the contract the cart is theirs.
If the person who witnesses a signature is not present at the time of signing then the contract is no longer a legally binding document.
why is it necessary to obtain permission from the person called when making collect calls
A signing agent obtains a signature from a person on an important document. They make an average of $50 to $250 per signing they receive.
The person who is eligible to collect life insurance is the beneficiary. Anybody can be named the beneficiary. There are steps that need to be taken before a person can collect.
You cannot sign another person's name for them. Even if you have their power of attorney, you will only be signing your own name.
Yes, a car can be repossessed even if another car is in front of it. The person in charge of repossession the vehicle can call the police to help them get the car.
Yes, it is true that the law prohibits another person from signing a contract even if the other individual is handicapped. But if the person that is handicapped re-types the contract and types his or hers signature it's fine. | <urn:uuid:f28d2133-6427-4da2-a74f-a7dd36f97f3f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_rights_of_a_person_who_Co_signing_a_church_car_loan_and_the_car_is_repossessed_with_the_bank_trying_to_collect | 2021-12-03T14:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362879.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203121459-20211203151459-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.96457 | 785 | [

MIAMI — Officials of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) are denying reports that they are forcing out a farmers market in order to use its land for a charter school.
“On the record, there are no plans for that property,” David Karsh, the CRA’s director of communications, said at an April 7 meeting between CRA administrators and Marvin Dunn, founder of the Roots in the City market at Northwest Third Avenue and 10th Street in Miami’s Overtown neighborhood.
“I’m getting calls saying you are building this or that, you are building a school. It’s not true. I’ll say it again: There are no plans for anything there,” Karsh said.
Dunn has accused the CRA of starving his three-year-old project of funding, saying it was known that a charter school was being planned for the property.
At the meeting, Pieter A. Bockweg, the CRA’s executive director, said the agency is willing to resume funding of Roots in the City “as it is today.”
He explained it this way: “No famers market or farm … only the landscaping institute, as well as the beautification of the property. That was the original grant to begin with.”
The CRA does not fund job programs, only job training programs, Bockweg said.
Between 2008 and 2010, the CRA provided $100,000 annually in grants to Roots in the City’s landscape training program. The project’s current grant will run out on April 26.
Bockweg made it clear that more funding will not come without changes to the terms of any new grant.
“You need to have a revolving door of people going through and graduating,” Bockweg told Dunn. That was an apparent reference to a low graduation rate from the program. Only a small number of people have graduated or found jobs, he said.
Dunn’s agreement with the CRA states that every year he must train at least 16 people. In 2008, six were trained, five graduated and three got jobs. In 2009, six were trained; one graduated and got a job.
“We are waiting for the 2010 numbers,” Karsh said in a previous interview.
Bockweg proposed that Dunn shorten the length of training to three months. The grant proposal was originally written for the program to run 12 months, Chelsa Arscott, the CRA’s program administrator said. “Many of the trainees were dropping out over the course of the 12 months because they
were either incarcerated, changed jobs or lost interest,” she said.
Bockweg also suggested that Dunn institute an orientation program and contact the new culinary institute at Miami Dade College’s nearby Wolfson Campus to explore ways of involving the trainees in his program.
The meeting at the CRA’s offices at 49 NW Fifth St. in downtown Miami took place despite the fact that Dunn had said he received a letter on April 6 signed by Bockweg notifying him that Dunn’s grant application for $149,000 had been denied. Dunn said he continued with the meeting hoping to resolve issues relating to food justice for Overtown.
“There is no money for the urban farm and no support for the farmers market, just for the training program,” Dunn said. “I want them to change their priorities.”
Karsh said in an interview that the CRA letter Dunn was referring to was a response to a separate grant application from the retired Florida International University professor for the farmers market itself, not the landscaping institute.
“The CRA does not fund farmers markets; they have never funded farmers markets. We have exclusively funded Dr. Dunn’s landscape training program,” Karsh said.
Dunn announced last week that he hand-delivered a letter to the home of Miami Heat superstar LeBron James – a neighbor – asking for financial support for his farmers market. As of mid-week, he had not received a response.
Dunn said this week he sent similar appeals for financial help to other Heat players – Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem, who is from Overtown – and to the Miami Heat Charitable Fund. The dollar amount requested was not disclosed.
Dunn briefly shut the market down last month after, he said, a city code enforcement officer cited the landowners, South Florida Smart Growth Land Trust, for selling produce on a vacant lot without a permit.
“The city was embarrassed that they were closing down a fresh produce market, so they scrambled to come up with a solution,” Dunn said.
Dunn said he has to return to the city in six months to get another resolution that would allow the market to operate for an additional six months.
But, according to Pat Santangelo, the city’s public affairs officer, no citation was issued and at no time did the city ever contemplate shutting down the farmers market.
“It was a notice of [lack of] compliance,” Santangelo said.
Dunn is required to have a certificate of use permit that costs $250 for the first year but is waived for non-profit organizations, as well as an unlimited Class I permit that costs $73, Santangelo said.
“Every year since [the market] was opened, Dr. Dunn has been getting the proper documents,” Santangelo said. “Basically he was given a notice to say that the paperwork they have to turn in every year was late.”
That paperwork is completed yearly and the CRA has it on file for Roots in the City, Santangelo said. “They need to have that in order to get their grants,” he said.
Dunn said in an interview after the meeting that he was given a three-month extension to prepare a new grant application. It will be for more money and the project will also include revitalizing a botanical garden at the northwest corner of Northwest Third Avenue and 14th Street in Overtown.
Roots in the City built and cared for the garden for 15 years at no cost to the county, which owns most of the site, Dunn said. The garden was maintained by Dunn’s students, when he was teaching at FIU, and a few volunteers.
With the coming of the economic recession, Roots in the City could no longer afford to care for the garden, Dunn said. “The county said they could take care of it … look at it now,” he said.
No CRA funds were involved in that initiative, Dunn said, “but they did pay the water bill in earlier years.”
“In our new grant application to the CRA, I am asking them to allow us to bring the garden back and to use it as a site primarily for growing botanicals and not vegetables,” he said.
The revised grant proposal’s dollar amount was not disclosed.
“The battle is far from over,” Dunn said. “I still want money for the urban farm. My next step, if I can, will be to go before the CRA to get them to add jobs to their priorities.”

Segments of the population can be considered “underserved” in a variety of ways that often overlap including access to healthcare, education, and financial services. These groups are most commonly defined by race, ethnicity, age, geography, income, or a specific set of circumstances that cause challenges.
Underserved groups can be a challenge to reach efficiently for government and nonprofit organizations that seek to offer services or deliver messages in hopes of improving outcomes. Marketers for these organizations need to get creative to place communications in areas often underrepresented by traditional advertising platforms. Often times it means going door-to-door, like Kathy Avery of the Asheville Buncombe Institute of Parity Achievement did to reach local communities in North Carolina to educate residents about the health screenings and transportation services they provide (1). It is key to fully understand the daily habits of the audience you need to reach before wasting time with messages that never connect.
Marketers of products that typically aren’t aimed at underserved markets can also have a compelling reason to reach this audience. According to studies of Millennial brand preferences, they prefer to buy from companies with social impact programs they feel good about. (2) This means to positively impact this diverse cohort, more brands will need to be prepared to reach harder-to-reach communities than ever before.
Multicultural communities are now over 120 million strong in the U.S. and increasing by 2.3 million per year. Diverse populations are the growth engine of the future. Hispanics, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and other segments already make up 38% of the U.S. population, with Census projections showing that multicultural populations will become a numeric majority by 2044.

The day started off like most Sundays do with a trip to Asda to collect our weekly grocery shop. Slightly infuriating as their app wasn't working properly so I couldn't 'tell them I was on my way' but when we got to the store the colleague on duty recognised us and we seemed to get our shopping before anyone else...obviously pays to be a regular!
After we'd returned home and put all the shopping away we decided to have an afternoon out in Nottingham and popped online to buy ourselves some cinema tickets.
Arriving in the city we were greeted by their annual Christmas market; so nice to see it back as last years had to be cancelled at the eleventh hour, although they haven't got the ice rink as in previous years.

The coronavirus has changed the way the entire world functions. The world economy has basically frozen, leaving countless unemployed. While the mainstream media has attacked President Trump’s ability to lead the country through this crisis, the president and his administration have delivered on some key aspects at solving the coronavirus crisis.
Since the panic began, the President has been attacked by several media outlets for not seeing the coronavirus coming, and not properly preparing the country to deal with this virus. This is simply not true. During the State of the Union Address by the President, just months before the coronavirus came to the United States, President Trump stated, “Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.”
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ripped her printed copy of the president’s prepared remarks in half following his speech, directly symbolizing to the American people her disinterest for everything the president said, including his remarks about combating the coronavirus. The leftist media however calls out the president to fit their anti-conservative agenda.
Additionally, the president shut down travel from China weeks before other countries did the same, and it proved to benefit the United States healthcare industry by giving them more time to prepare. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Dr. Anthony Fauci even told reporters, “It was the right public health call.”
On the day Trump restricted travel to China, presidential candidate Joe Biden called the president xenophobic at a campaign rally in Iowa, an amazingly embarrassing moment that backfired into the campaign releasing a statement supporting travel bans guided by medical experts.
While the clash between the White House and the mainstream media continued, Congress came very close to achieving a large victory for American citizens. However, democratic leaders blocked a massive $1.8 trillion stimulus spending bill that would have provided relief to American families suffering as a result of the outbreak. It took a week of partisan bickering and petty politics for the democratic-controlled House of Representatives to later pass an almost identical $2 trillion spending bill.
The partisan games have halted progress in several categories of our country for too long, but for that to interfere in government aid being sent to Americans during a worldwide pandemic is clearly not a goal for the Democrats in Congress. However, what is a goal for them is to make the president look bad in attempts to beat him in the 2020 election.
This goes for the media as well. They did it with Russia, they did it with Ukraine and now they are doing it with the virus from China, COVID-19. They will continue to do everything in their power to undermine and take down this president. In the meantime, he will continue to deal with the most unique and possibly confusing issue that any American president has ever dealt with, and he will continue to do a great job. | <urn:uuid:8e51143f-bd6d-4c55-adcb-bfc44ed4b6b1> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://thetowerlight.com/the-left-has-an-agenda-during-this-pandemic/ | 2021-12-06T18:39:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363309.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206163944-20211206193944-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.966619 | 626 | [

Keytek CTS-2000- Owned from September 2002-present, Serial number 1263
The Keytek line was an attempt at reviving Siel around 1987. There were several models produced, the CTS-1000 (boring 8 voice synth, preset only), CTS-2000, CTS-5000 (piano-style keyboard), CTS-400 (4-octave keyboard, similar to CTS-1000?), and at several home keyboards (I know of the K-50 and K-60, perhaps there were more). As far as I can tell, the CTS-2000 is the only interesting model. The Keytek line didn't last long, as Siel went out of business and was bought by Roland. It's a fairly ugly synth, Obviously influenced by the DX7 design with membrane buttons and nasty 80's colors accenting its gray case. And it's fairly heavy considering the case is plastic.
The CTS-2000 was a very innovative synth but it didn't have any success. The basic premise of operation is that if single cycle waveform samples are taken from the attack, decay, and sustain portions of an instrument sample, they can be used to reconstruct the original sound while taking up much less space than a full sample (This is derived somewhat from the "timbre window" approach to additive synthesis). Thus the CTS-2000 uses three waveforms per oscillator, crossfaded together with simple envelopes. This is where the "Cross Table Sampled" name comes from. This method of sound creation is similar to wavetable or vector synthesis but I think the Wavestation is the only other synth that can do this (using wavesequencing). The patch editing is a bit strange too. The 24 patch select buttons double as menu page buttons. For each menu there are up to six parameters, which are edited from six data sliders. Having multiple data sliders is a nice idea, and the CTS-2000 certainly predated what is now a popular concept. The problem is that only one slider can be used at a time. This somewhat defeats the purpose of having all those sliders, and it makes editing patch names very frustrating. The CTS-2000 had another weird feature as well: the keyboard is split into five zones, one octave each, and they're all independently programmed. This is to aid the creation of keyboard splits, etc. but mostly it just gets in the way. There is a zone copy function and a global edit mode to make it a little easier (though it's still overcomplicated). Also there are convenient functions to copy data between oscillators, envelopes, pitch functions, and LFOs.
The architecture of the synth has a few interesting quirks: There are 8 voices, and for each voice there are two oscillators with three waveforms and two-stage envelopes to crossfade between them. Crossfading works one way only, and can't be controlled by the mod wheel, velocity, LFOs, etc. Pity, because this could have made things much more interesting. Each oscillator has its own detune page with tuning parameters and simple pitch envelopes. Then there is a 6-stage Korg style amplitude envelope for each oscillator (an unusual and welcome feature), and a resonant 4 pole low pass VCF with another 6-stage envelope. There are 3 LFOs, the first 2 dedicated to the oscillators and the third to the filter/VCA. Waveforms are saw, triangle, square, and random. The LFOs can go pretty fast and they have a nice initial level/final level/decay envelope for each, exactly like the Ensoniq ESQ-1 LFOs. (The main envelopes, plus the crossfade, pitch, and LFO envelopes add up to a total of 10 envelopes per voice!) Also the mod wheel can control each of the LFOs independently. Unfortunately they can't modulate the oscillators than more than a semitone. The third LFO can be routed to the filter and/or the VCA (the final VCA, not the levels for the individual oscillators) but routing it to the VCA results in a pretty weak effect (very mild tremolo at the maximum setting). Pitch wheel depth can be set independently for each oscillator but it will only bend +/- 3 semitones. Velocity can control the oscillator level and VCF envelopes independently, and turn the oscillators on or off (for velocity switching- strangely it can be set so that neither oscillator sounds, so the note can be completely silent). There's a menu for mono mode and monophonic portamento/glissando (unfortunately there's no legato mode- each new note retriggers the envelopes). There is also a level control and a fixed panning control, various copy functions, etc. Dynamic voice allocation can be turned on or off, which is kind of strange.
Internally the synth doesn't look very well built, typical for Siel, but unlike most of their synths it still works so they must have finally gotten something right. Also it doesn't have the NiCd battery leak problem that their earlier synths had. The CPU is a Texas Instruments TMS 7002, which is totally underpowered considering all the stuff going on inside. The DCOs are two SGS M114S chips, and the filters are CEM 3389s (same kind as early Waldorf Microwave models).
Now for the sound. This synth has a really interesting architecture so naturally it can make some interesting sounds that a lot of other synths can't. But it doesn't really have the lush sonic qualities of some synthesizers. I haven't analyzed it any but even the saw wave sounds dull and crappy compared to the waveforms on most other synthesizers. Many of the waveforms aren't particularly useful. There are a lot of guitar samples and things like that, where I would have prefered more synthetic waves (there's not even a square wave). And sometimes there's audible stepping in the waveform crossfades, envelopes, etc. (due to the underpowered CPU I would imagine). This doesn't mean it can't make good sounds, but it takes a bit of effort to get there. Occasionally there are also glitches and pops in the sound, presumably from the crossfades. The crossfade synthesis can produce fairly decent sounding acoustic instruments (better than other analog/digital hybrids, but still not useable), but most of the presets are pretty bad. The CTS-2000 seems best at strange digital evolving pad sounds. It doesn't make anything that sounds particularly "thick" but some sounds are quite nice. A built-in stereo chorus would have really helped the sound but external effects work just as well.
Also there are a few odd quirks about the case design:
The CTS-2000 name plate on the back is reversible- it has CTS-5000 on the other side.
On the panel above the LFO menus it says "LFO 1 to OSC. 1", "LFO 2 to OSC. 2", and "LFO 3 to OSC. 3". There isn't a third oscillator!
The midi thru jack on the back is labeled "TRHU", though it's spelled correctly on the top panel.

There's a nice CTS-2000 site which was made a little after I got mine. It includes a bunch of stuff from the manual: Keytek CTS 2000 - E

On 28 February 2011 Ambassador of Ukraine I.Dolhov met with Minister-President of the Flemish region K.Peeters.
Highlighting the positive tendency in turnover increasing between Flanders and Ukraine last year, the Parties agreed to continue promoting the projects aimed to strengthen economic relations.
K.Peeters informed about the efforts taken by his government and him personally to strengthen international economic contacts of his region, which is responsible for 87% of all Belgian exports. In this regard, he expressed the interest in visiting Ukraine to promote business projects.

Royal LePage Shelter foundation
The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation has been part of the culture of Royal LePage since its founding in 1998. Since then, the agents, brokers and brokerages of Royal LePage offices all across Canada have been raising money for this worthy cause.
What is the cause you ask? Every day, women and children are forced to stay in abusive relationships simply because they have nowhere to go to get away from the abuse. The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation provides much needed funding to Women's Emergency Shelters and Violence Prevention Programs across Canada to help with ending the cycle of violence in the home. To date, the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation has raised over $35 Million through agent commission donations, and foundation events such as the National Garage Sale for Shelter and the amazing Treks for Shelter to Manchu Picchu, Iceland, the Sahara Desert and the Purcell Mountains of BC.
Royal LePage Canada is the only real estate company that has it's own in-house charity and it is completely funded by Royal LePage Canada so that every dollar raised goes to the women's shelter in the community where that money was raised!
At our brokerage, most of our agents contribute through Commission Donations and we've also held several National Garage Sales for Shelter as well. Since 2012, our brokerage has raised over $67,000! All the money we raise locally stays in the Shuswap with 100% of our money raised going to the SAFE Society in Salmon Arm.
When you list and sell your home with us or we work with you to buy a home, know that you're indirectly supporting a great local cause!

- Page for choosing category (up to six categories)
- Main page with two short options
- Scoreboard page (ie. an app called scorekeeper). Both for gameleader to give points and to keep track of scores

The most common cause of wealth audits are that expenditures exceeded the subject’s income of and its reported revenues to the tax authorities.
Nowadays all serious volume transactions are monitored and detected by the NAV. Just think of the increasing use of online cash registers, credit card payments, mandatory reporting of suspicious transactions or money laundering, financial reporting disclosure, motor vehicles transfer records, property transfer records, and those recurring monthly tax return for that are subject to the payment of wages or other regular business income.
The tax authorities only need to set the computers to see if the person’s disaggregated revenue and expenditure show a negative number, and it will manifest. Above a certain level it may have already been the subject of the investigation order.
The application of the wealth tax audit firstly listens to the taxpayer, and mainly wants to know what was the income source to cover the higher spending. The statement is reviewed and will only be accepted if appropriate. The undeclared amounts are taxed, even under the rules of a tax gap.
In one case, a loan or a gift was the statement that was relied upon. The tax authority contacted the giver, who acknowledged the gift-giving, in fact, it could prove coverage, because from he relocated from abroad settled at home and his imported assets declared to the customs authorities proved many times greater than that gift amount. Yet the statement was not been accepted because the giver could not confirm the foreign currency conversion, and yet the gift was paid in forint.
In order to avoid these and similar situations it may require a more knowledgeable assistance to taxpayers in respect of their income and to be able to legally prove it. | <urn:uuid:91a55fc3-01f1-4bde-9620-0d5dfad63767> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://erdosdr.hu/en/wealth-audits.html | 2021-11-30T12:26:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358973.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130110936-20211130140936-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.970922 | 343 | [

We were so excited to go to the Hotel Del Coronado beach for Amanda and Daniel’s engagement session!! They were such a blast hang out with and were a dream to photograph. They both have super mellow personalities and just go with the flow. We love that they have date night once a month and take turns planning the evening BUT it can’t be dinner and movie and it has to be something they have never done before. How cool is that??

Rabi al-Awwal is the month of the auspicious birthday of the Prophet of Peace, whom God entrusted the universal mission of Islam for promoting brotherhood among mankind and guiding them towards the eternal bliss of Paradise.
It is the season when Muslims all over the globe hold celebrations to renew their allegiance to the Messenger of Mercy by focusing on many of the multifaceted aspects of his dynamic personality, including unity and amity amongst the various schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
Consequently, the followers of Prophet Muhammad’s (SAWA) Immaculate Ahl al-Bayt – a Qur’anic term that emphasizes the pristine purity of his immediate family – have spared no efforts in fostering solidarity amongst Muslims, taking a cue from the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA), who initiated the Islamic Unity Week in 1979 to bridge the gap between the two dates of Rabi al-Awwal regarded as the birthday of the Seal of Messengers (12th for Sunnis and 17th for Shi’as).
If this dynamic was welcomed by the Ummah worldwide, for the archenemies of Islam, especially the US regime and the Zionists, it was shock since Muslim unity in matters of jurisprudence and solidarity in the political and economic spheres means end to their hegemony. .
Ever since, the Americans have mobilized their clients in Muslim countries to throw spanner in the works by sowing seeds of discord and fanning sectarian flames in order to splinter the Ummah, but their bid has largely failed as is evident in various parts of the world, such as Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and almost all over Africa.
In a vain bid to press on with their devilish measures that includes vilification of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the CIA and Mossad have jointly created a host of terrorist outfits that masquerade as ‘puritanical Muslims’, including the macabrely murderous Daesh, which tried and failed to transform Syria and Iraq into a vast ‘Takfiristan’, extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf.
It was Sunni/Shia solidarity in the two said countries that defeated this terrorist group, which was unfortunately financed by certain rootless regimes clinging to the America apron for survival.
Now as we have entered the month of Rabi al-Awwal and are all set to mark the Islamic Unity Week from tomorrow onwards with seminars, conferences, and webinars in Iran and other parts of the world, attended by both Sunni and Shi’a ulema and intellectuals, the Americans who have airlifted thousands of the defeated Daesh terrorists to Afghanistan from Syria and Iraq, are targeting the places of worship of the two main branches of Islam.
The recent bomb blasts that rocked mosques in Qunduz and Qandahar in Afghanistan on successive Fridays during the weekly congregational prayers are evident proofs in this regard.
These terrorist attacks are designed to engulf Afghanistan into a civil war whose flames would spread to other countries.
The onus now is on the Taliban militia, which is currently at the helm of affairs in Afghanistan, to defuse the situation by tracking down the Daesh terrorists and decimating them, if not, not only their claim to have mellowed and moderated over the years would be meaningless, but would plunge the country into anarchy, more destruction, and unnecessary spilling of Muslim blood to the enjoyment of the enemies of Islam. | <urn:uuid:de10ab01-d45b-4293-882a-90bae5dfca0c> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://kayhan.ir/en/news/95553/urgent-need-to-nip-the-sectarian-plot-in-the-bud | 2021-11-30T12:38:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358973.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130110936-20211130140936-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.958108 | 728 | [

Gwynedd Citizens Advice have exciting paid an voluntary opportunities available now to make a difference in your local communities. Click on the link to find out more: cabgwynedd.wales/jobs
The number of people on Universal Credit in Gwynedd has more than doubled since March last year to 8,712. We are concerned that in three months’ time the UK Government intends to end the £20 per week uplift in both Universal Credit and Working Tax Credit. This has made a real difference to families who are struggling and removing it could take over £8m out of the local economy, or more if claims go up which is all the more likely if the furlough scheme comes to an end before the economy is fully able to reopen.
We have written to Liz Saville Roberts and Hywel Williams urging them to make representations to the Chancellor to keep the uplift.
The BBC have written about this issue: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55415873
Although times are hard for many of us, help is available. We are working closely with the various foodbanks in Gwynedd: we refer clients in desperate need to them and they refer clients to us so that we can help them with their underlying problems. Arfon and South Gwynedd Foodbanks have secured additional funding so we can ensure advisers are immediately available when needed. We are also working with colleagues across North Wales to provide advice on maximising income to people with mental health problems or at risk of developing mental health problems. The Welsh Government has provided additional funding to help us do this. If you know anyone who might benefit from this you can refer them using this link wherever in North Wales they live: cabgwynedd.wales/incomemax
Are you eligible to apply for the job opportunities with Gwynedd Citizens Advice? You could be gaining qualifications whilst in paid work. Please contact us for more information

- Key Ingredients of a Healthy Relationship – Safety, Trust and Respect
- Online Relationships – Consent and Keeping Safe

There is also a Directory available with information on the volunteers and businesses that are available in your area who can help you, in particular those who can provide food delivery and an essential shopping service.
There is a clear scientific consensus that the world faces a climate emergency. This emergency has the clear potential to adversely effect the living conditions, health and general well-being of the residents of Gwynedd and therefore goes to the heart of our charitable objectives.
It is therefore appropriate for us to publicise this emergency so that individuals and organisations are aware of the importance of taking action and take what steps we can to minimise the carbon footprint of the charity itself.

Citizens Advice Gwynedd were joined by Welsh Government Deputy Minister, Jane Hutt, to celebrate the charity being awarded funding by the Welsh Government to provide advice services.
The charity in Wales will receive £8.1 million to provide services across all regions in Wales, as well as a remote advice service. It comes after Welsh Government changed the way they commission advice services in Wales, with organisations having to bid to provide the Single Advice Fund.
The commitment of future funding comes as the organisation marks its 80th year. Citizens Advice was formed on the onset of World War II on 4 September 1939. It originally helped people deal with the impacts of war, such as rationing and evacuation, and additional support for farming communities.
In the year to 30 September 2019, Citizens Advice helped nearly 12,500 people in Gwynedd and nearly 100,000 people in Wales with Personal Independence Payment, Universal Credit and council tax debt being some of the top issues the charity provided advice on.
Tal Michael, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice Gwynedd, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome the Deputy Minister here to Pwllheli to see our services first hand. Access to good advice is vital for everyone. We’re really proud to have secured this funding.
“There’s a huge demand for our independent and impartial advice as people face ever increasingly complex issues in their lives.
“We’re keen to now put this funding into action and provide advice to anyone in Gwynedd who needs it, whatever their problem.”

I ♥ this day! Can you believe it’s on a Friday this year! Eek, I can hardly contain myself.
One of my favorite childhood memories was being in our local Halloween parade every year. I remember donning the plastic suit and masks that used to be our Halloween costumes growing up in the 80’s! My have costumes come a long way! I have a Maleficent, a pirate and a Darth Vader in my house this year. Here is a sneak peek of my youngest. He already had the fun of trick or treating at my husbands office!
When asked what his favorite superhero was, he responded with “All the bad guys!” He went all the way this year and is very excited about his “bad guy” costume.
We are hosting a Trick or Treat gathering tonight at our home, so I am planning on spending my day baking some Halloween treats and making a BIG pot of chili! I’m going to try out some Pinterest projects that Emma and I have been eyeing. We are looking forward to having friends over, enjoying a fire pit and a having a relaxing and fun evening. I only pray that the rain will hold off for just one night!
I ♥ fall and all the fun decorating we get to do for this special season of the year. I hope to enjoy these decorations for a few more days until packing them up and getting ready for the next crate of things to get unpacked.
Here is one last peek at what makes our home feel warm and festive this season.
Wishing you and your family a safe and fun Halloween! | <urn:uuid:52cfef4f-feff-4c78-8f8f-f7504b74e8cd> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.whitecottagehomeandliving.com/happy-halloween/?replytocom=42 | 2021-12-02T03:24:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964361064.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202024322-20211202054322-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.963127 | 338 | [

Today’s modern businesses utilize technology in a multitude of ways to facilitate daily processes as well as reach short and long-term goals. A well-organized, fully functional IT infrastructure can be of great benefit to a business, enabling managers, team leaders and employees to work more efficiently. However, many businesses struggle with various common IT problems that hinder productivity.
In actuality, no business is ever fully immune from the occasional IT issue. That’s why many organizations that don’t employ their own IT departments use outsourced IT service providers. Dedicated to providing small business IT services that ensure your network is secure and working for your optimal benefit, outsourced IT can easily solve many of the IT problems your organization may face, as well as streamline your IT infrastructure.
Common Technology Issues Small Businesses Face
1. The Cost of Improving and Upgrading Technology
It’s no secret that some components of technology, both hardware and software, can be expensive. The high costs involved in upgrading your IT infrastructure can sometimes be a deterrent, consequently holding you back from making the necessary improvements. But by working with outsourced IT, you can potentially save money while still upgrading your IT and at the same time garnering a strong ROI.
IT experts, like those at Artemis IT, can consult with you and assess your current IT infrastructure in order to develop a plan and make recommendations on what you need to do in order to achieve your goals. With a strong knowledge of the IT marketplace, an IT services provider can help you spend wisely and make the most of your IT budget.
2. Integrating New Technology With Older Systems
Not every piece of hardware or software application needs to be replaced. But integration issues can often occur between newer and older IT. This can cause slowdowns in the network or applications that don’t perform properly, among other problems. Outsourced IT can recognize potential integration problems and help you better plan your IT infrastructure to minimize or eliminate the problems.
3. Lack of Proper Security
Cybersecurity is a huge concern for small businesses in all industries. Small business IT needs to address security and compliance issues to prevent cyberattacks and hackers from infiltrating the network. Outsourced IT experts provide 24/7/365 monitoring of your network and devices to detect, prevent and eliminate cyber threats.
4. No Backup and Recovery Plan
Data backups are extremely important, yet many small businesses fail to implement a sufficient data backup and recovery plan. Developing a plan after a data loss is too late. And a data loss can occur at any time due to a power outage, hacking attempt, server crash, or natural disasters such as flood or fire. Outsourced IT professionals can install a strong data backup and recovery system to ensure that business operations can continue quickly in the event of an unexpected data loss.
5. Insufficient IT Management
Monitoring, managing and maintaining your IT infrastructure is a full-time job. Likewise, aligning your IT within the organization to aid in the growth of your business requires strategic planning. Ensuring that your network is adequately prepared to grow and meet new challenges is critical to your future success.
Outdated systems, slow networks and applications lacking in features make it difficult for employees to perform their jobs in a productive, efficient manner. Small business IT that is managed by professionals in the industry dedicated to providing expert service and guidance will ensure that your IT infrastructure is always well-maintained, enabling you to use IT smarter for the ultimate achievement of your goals.

EASTENDERS’ Violet Highway has revealed her heartbreaking family secret and left viewers in tears.
The pensioner – who is played by actress Gwen Taylor in the BBC soap – was left distraught when her son Jonno sold all her belongings including a cherished children’s book.
And it was soon revealed that it contained the only picture she had kept of her pregnancy with the son she gave up for adoption.
After discovering the book hiding the picture had been sold to Kim Fox, Vi tried to buy it back but Kim wouldn’t allow it.
Later Patrick found it and took it over to Violent and lent her an ear.
“Nobody knows I was pregnant,” she said as she held the picture of her heavily pregnant from 30 years ago.

“Fifty one and look at me – it’s not natural, is it? I know you get the odd freak show in the tabloids but it’s not safe. It’s not right.
“And I should have known better. My Freddie had done a runner, the marriage was in tatters, it was a hook up, a booty call. It’s wrong, I tell you.
“And it leads to this. It was a punishment. That’s not fair. They told me about the risks of birth defects – everybody wanted me to get rid of it.
“And when he came, Christopher, it was clear I couldn’t look after him. I had no money, no support, it wouldn’t have been fair on the poor little blighter.
“I gave him up and never saw him again.”
“I’m not used to talking about all this,” she told Patrick.

“For years I’ve kept it shut away in a little box. Back then in my mind, Down Syndrome meant he needed to be in care.
“But as the years went by and my life grew calmer, I started to wonder, maybe I could have done more.”
Fans were in tears at Violet’s confession.
One wrote: "OMG Vi has a secret Son out there somewhere in the world seriously? #EastEnders 😨"
A second said: "It'll be interesting to see Vi's secret son Christopher. I wonder how Callum & Stuart would be with him? Jonno's half brother?"
Another added: "Vi’s secret son is going to show up at any time. Mark my words."

It’s time to write.
You’re a freelance writer, and this is your job.
But, life gets in the way – appointments, family, your other job and chores.
How do you fit a writing routine into your day as a freelance writer?
If you’re thinking about becoming a freelance writer, you’ll need some writing routine ideas and tips so that you have time to write for your clients and you can pick up more freelance writing jobs.
But, first, let’s understand why you need a routine for your writing.
Why You Need a Writing Routine
I don’t know about you, but before I became a freelance writer, I wasn’t really a writer.
I didn’t have a journalism degree, and I didn’t write a book in my spare time either.
In high school, I wrote a lot of poetry, and I enjoyed writing term papers in college. I learned over the years that writing was my creative outlet and passion. I expressed myself much better through writing than with talking.
But, I didn’t improve my skill as a writer at that time.
The ONLY time I was able to improve my writing was when I became a freelance writer and blogger!
Do you see the connection?
When you write every day, you improve your writing. This is exercise for your mind. As a freelance writer, you need to flex those writing muscles and be able to transfer your skills to different niches in the beginning.
Let me share something with you –
When you first start out as a freelance writer, you may pick up gigs that aren’t in your intended niche. This may be because you haven’t decided on a niche yet or you pitched to a variety of freelance writing jobs and the gig with a topic outside your niche decided to hire you.
When I first started I wrote on a ton of different topics:
- Internet of Things
- Automotive industry
- Working at home
- Health and food
- Virtual Effects industry
I certainly wasn’t credible in those niche topics, and I had no experience writing in those topics. But, as a freelance writer, you may have to transfer your skills as a general writer to a new niche.
That’s why it’s important to develop not only a writing process but a routine so that you can write up these projects quickly and efficiently.
Phases of Writing Process for Your Freelance Writing Job
To begin a writing routine when you work at home, you need to look at the phases of your writing. For a client piece, you want to provide a full piece. This means having all the proper formatting and features in your article.
Let’s go through the writing process you should incorporate when you have to write something for your freelance writing client.
1. Idea Generation
For some clients, you will have to come up with the ideas for a blog post or article. This is especially true when you start building your portfolio through guest posting. It’s up to you to come up with relevant blog post topics for guest posts, your own blog and client pieces.
So, how do you do this consistently and on a regular basis?
Check out my video for tips to help create blog topics for your clients.
Some popular places to get ideas are:
- Other blogs
For example, if your client is in the productivity niche for entrepreneurs, then you can think about ideas around that topic. For example, structuring your day or making sure you are mentally healthy are ideas that I can look on Google to see if it’s a viable topic (i.e. are other blogs talking about this topic or am I just way off?)
As you can see, mental health is a HUGE topic on BIG sites like newspapers and Forbes.
The idea is to look at the niche you are writing in and plug that in Pinterest or Google to get ideas. From there pick a subtopic and research that further.
2. Create an Outline
Once you have decided on a blog topic for your freelance writing job, it’s time to create an outline.
Some clients request an outline before you write the post. For me, I sometimes provide an outline to a client (even if they don’t ask for it) as a way to assure if what I’m writing is on the right track for the client. It’s like a heads up for them!
When creating an outline, you want to walk the reader through your post in a coherent way. What are the main subtopics of your topic?
If we go back to our topic of mental health and entrepreneurs, I can look at the top posts from Google to see what others are writing about and incorporate that into my outline. I wouldn’t copy the exact subheadings from a blog post, but I would look at several and generate my own ideas about the topic.
3. Write the Rough Draft
Many writers tell you to just write the rough draft without hitting the backspace button. But, for me that’s impossible. I can’t live seeing grammar errors or spelling mistakes. So I will fix those as I write my rough draft and then when I’m done, I walk away.
I take a five-minute break or have lunch and then go back to my piece to re-read the full draft.
You NEED to take that break for your piece to breathe, but more importantly, for you to disengage from your piece and switch your mind from it. You’ll have a fresh pair of eyes when doing this.
4. Edit Your Post
In the editing process, you may re-write certain sentences or phrases or add additional information to your piece.
This is when I may decide to include another case study or pick a subtopic and break it down even more.
This is a crucial component to your freelance writing client’s project because they are looking to you to be the expert in writing. It’s up to you to format the post appropriately, have a hook for their readers to want to read more and provide relevant and up-to-date information in your chosen niche topic.
5. Final Edit
The final edit may incorporate an editing tool like Grammarly. I always run my content for my clients or for my own blogs through Grammarly. It’s super easy to use and I use the desktop version.
Grammarly gives you a score and breaks down grammar errors like spelling, clarity, vocabulary and more.
I don’t always use the suggestions Grammarly gives me as I want to inject my personality and my writing quirks, but I do rely on it for fixing most of my grammar errors.
6. Have a Proofreader
This is optional, but it’s a good idea to get a second pair of eyes to read through your final edited piece.
There will be errors you did not notice (or that Grammarly or whatever editing app you decide to use did not either) that your proofreader will.
My husband has graciously been my proofreader for years. I also hired a copyeditor when I had a lot of projects in the digital marketing niche. This was a lifesaver for sure, but it came with an expense.
If you are budgeting your freelance writing business, consider a family member or even another freelance writer.
Email a new writer and swap pieces! Help each other out!
This is the final step! It’s time to submit your piece. There are several ways you can submit your piece to your client, so make sure you ask them the best way to submit your piece. Some clients want you to use Google Docs and share your piece with them.
Other’s don’t mind if you email it to them.
Writing Routine Ideas
With the writing process out of the way, you need a routine that encompasses this process. In this list, find what works for you.
1. Brain Dump for Content Ideas
For many people, a brain dump is the perfect writing routine! Get a notebook, bullet journal or use Trello to keep track of your content ideas as you brain dump.
You can also create a swipe file (folder on your desk or a Google Sheet or Doc) with blog posts you enjoyed, lead magnets you found helpful and any content you see online. This can help spur more blog post ideas or content ideas for your freelance client.
2. Write Every Day
Do what I do and commit to writing every day. This can help you discover your unique writing style. It is also helpful to keep your skills up to par! You don’t have to write 1,000-word blog posts every day; instead, try writing:
- A Facebook post
- A Tweet on Twitter
- An email
- Your updated LinkedIn profile
- A freelance writing pitch
- A guest post
- A blog post
- A blog comment
- Your to-do list in your bullet journal
- Blog post headlines
- Pinterest pin description
- Introduction to a post
The list is endless. The point is to write every day. Now that my twins are in school, I have more time to write. I’m working on writing a blog post every day whether it’s for for a client or for me.
This also helps me improve my typing speed. I’m able to write over a thousand words in about an hour and take 20 minutes to proofread and create graphics to share on social media. It’s part of my work day, and the more I do this, the faster I become!
3. Carve Out Time
The easiest thing to start your writing routine is to find time to write! Carve out dedicated time to write…every day! This may mean writing after work, writing only on Sunday afternoons, or writing before you go to work in the morning.
Find what works for you! When I first started, I only could write during nap times or when my twins went to sleep for the night. Writing while they were awake or before they woke up was not good!
4. Find the Best Time to Write
This goes hand-in-hand to carving out that time. Figure out your most optimal time to write. Since early morning for me was a gong show, I knew that I could write at night.
But, now, that has changed. Over the years raising twins, I’m pretty exhausted at night, so now I do my writing mid-morning. I consider it a success when I finish before lunch!
5. Train Your Mind for Work
This is important. You don’t want to squander your time with distractions on social media or phone calls.
For me, I need music to switch my brain from mom mode to writer mode.
I also have to have a workspace to make the transition easier for me. I have a work office, and I do all of my work here.
Having these external prompts can help you train your mind. Once it hears the music you use for work, your brain will switch automatically!
6. Create a Working Outline of Your Content
During the writing process, you create an outline, but sometimes that process may not benefit you or your writing style.
Sometimes you just need a working outline. This means you have several projects on the go and you work on it every day.
For many freelance writers, this is how they work. They may have 3 or 4 personal blog posts half written and 2 or 3 client pieces that aren’t finished yet. Personally, I do a bit of both.
For my personal blogs, I do have several posts that are half-written or has a…working outline!
For example, this post I’m writing had a working outline for months. I’m now getting to it and writing it for you!
7. Time Your Writing
This can be a HUGE push and motivator for some people. Set a timer and time your writing. See how fast you write and work on improving that over time. This can set your writing routine off on a bang and you can boost your productivity quickly by doing this!
There Ya Go!
I hope this post will help you when you get your first writing gig and need to submit your first piece to your client! A writing routine for a writer is important for sure! Tell me in the comments your favorite way to find content ideas for your clients! | <urn:uuid:2e6863cc-02e8-4950-a890-57e8e0649000> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://elnacain.com/blog/create-a-writing-routine/ | 2021-12-06T21:41:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363312.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206194128-20211206224128-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.943001 | 2,638 | [

Time management carries a great deal of significance for construction managers.
In fact, your ability to be successful in your projects depends on how efficient you are able to manage the time at your disposal.
For a construction manager to deliver the best, one has to learn how to manage the people, workflows, and processes mandated to them. Undoubtedly, it can be very overwhelming to put all these resources in the right place if you lack time management skills.
Again, projects are different depending on how large or small they are. If you’ll be spearheading a large construction project, the only way you’ll be able to succeed is if you’ll put the right management skills into practice.
Here are time management tips that will help you to become a better construction manager:
Ensure That Meetings Are Agenda-Guided
Fundamentally, meetings guided by a clear agenda are highly productive.
In most cases, you’ll notice that you waste a lot of time when you hold meetings without being driven by specific discussion points.
Meetings are very important for the success of a team. They bring ideas and resources together for the implementation of projects.
This is why effective management is so valuable.
You have to learn how to control your team while in the meeting to avoid veering off.
The moment you have clear agendas, you will only focus on priority matters.
You will concentrate on things that contribute towards the achievement of the project at hand.
Therefore, as you structure your meetings in this format, you will be in control, and you will give every person an opportunity to participate without wasting time.
Employ Management Software Tools
There are construction management tools you can make use of to manage your projects better.
Using these time planning tools can improve the execution of your construction projects and boost the chances of future success.
Moreover, these tools help you to identify the areas you should work on so as to reduce inefficiencies.
Consistent errors end up wasting a lot of time and resources.
Thus, if you can make use of these management software tools you will avoid errors and turn inefficient processes into effective ones.
Of great importance still, you will get to know the members of your team who need more support in order to improve productivity.
Focus on Important Tasks
If you are able to identify the tasks that require a higher amount of effort and focus on them, you will not have pressure completing them.
The biggest problem comes in when you have to rush through tasks because of lack of enough time.
In order to solve this problem, you should put emphasis on the tasks that will bring the best results.
Remember, your input will determine your output.
So, the amount of time and effort you put in to undertake valuable tasks will determine how successful your projects will be.
In other words, if you’re able to invest more in what creates more value, the completion of your tasks will always be on time.
Time management can’t be underestimated.
It’s a valuable skill you need as a construction manager. With this skill, you’ll be in a position to manage your projects more efficiently for quality outcomes. | <urn:uuid:a069f278-abfa-49b4-808c-94c981ff2272> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://builtsearch.com.au/improve-your-project-management-with-these-time-management-tips/ | 2021-11-27T14:35:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358189.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127133237-20211127163237-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.923532 | 659 | [

Killscreen Recordings step up with their 6th release, this time coming from Manchester based producer Fractals. Dark techstep vibes are the order of the day this time around!
Of the four tracks on the EP, the pick of the bunch to my ears comes on the rolling breaks and hefty bass of Ego. Elsewhere Dark Matter explores some interesting LFO modulations on the lead sounds over a rather off kilter beat and Electro Dub drops down to a halftime riddim with a distinctly dubby edge. Check out the beats below and watch out for the release dropping at all good digital outlets from April 7th. | <urn:uuid:73f556f2-0b15-40c7-b629-3fa8318a7203> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.dnbdojo.co.uk/tag/killscreen-recordings/ | 2021-11-27T15:19:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358189.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127133237-20211127163237-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.913359 | 128 | [

Is a backyard really a backyard if it doesn’t have a barbecue? The barbecue has been a quintessential staple for most households for generations. That means that the barbecue in your yard that you inherited ten years ago may be on its last legs.

The Shootaround: NBA News, Notes, and Dwight-itisJesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE/Getty Images
If you want to know why Hornets GM Dell Demps went through hell to get Chris Paul out of New Orleans, all you need to do is look at the spot Magic GM Otis Smith finds himself in now. I imagine him smoking a Carlton and drinking Chivas with melting ice cubes. There is a tear running down his cheek while he listens to very sad jazz. Dwight-itis has infected his team, and it looks like it’s a terminal case.
The symptoms of Dwight-itis are easy to spot. It usually flares up when your franchise player announces his interest to ply his trade elsewhere. You initially ignore the problem, not wanting to make too big a deal of it, claiming that these things happen. But then it spreads, affecting other players on the team, causing the coach to switch into self-preservation mode. Before you know it, players are arguing with the coaching staff, rumor mills are grinding out new stories every day about locker room dissent, and the cotton-candy sellers at games are singing Neil Young’s “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.”
Dwight-itis really gets dangerous when it goes airborne, leaving its host and infecting other teams. In the last few days, we’ve seen cases pop up in the Midwest. On Monday, Howard said: “If I could play with Derrick [Rose] right now and God wanted that to happen, it will happen.”
Rose, who is not actually God, tacitly endorsed the idea, saying: “Me and Dwight definitely have a relationship, especially because of Adidas. I know that our market and the city speaks for itself if someone was interested to come to the Bulls. Dwight is a great player. Who wouldn’t want to play with him?”
Nothing wrong with that at all. Just a guy taking his opinion for a stroll in the newspaper. But here’s the thing: That opinion must have some kind of effect on Rose’s teammates, right? Sure, they aren’t naive about the way the NBA works, but they also aren’t naive about the difference between playing in Chicago with the reigning MVP and in Orlando, going to a rebuilding phase.
Dwight-itis also flared up in Milwaukee, albeit not as seriously. Ric Bucher reported that Stephen Jackson and Howard are tight and that if the Nets wanted to help their chances of landing Howard, they could do worse than to acquire Jackson. I’m not a licensed tarot reader, but I find it interesting that this rumor comes on the heels of (or at the same time as) another piece accusing Jackson of having a negative influence on Brandon Jennings. Regardless of the behind-the-scenes action, Dwight-itis is causing some rot in Bucktown, too.
What can you do? Be diligent. If a player on your NBA team starts talking about his shoe sponsor or God bringing the group together with Dwight Howard, go immediately to your most trusted sources for NBA rumors. Chances are, they are already whipping up some public hysteria over it.
Tonight’s the Night …
Around the League
- There were A LOT of Twitter reactions on Monday night when Blake Griffin set phasers to dunk on Kendrick Perkins. But I thought Jeff Green’s was pretty noteworthy: “GOT DAMN @blakegriffin.” No love lost then, Jeff?
- As a team leader, Dwyane Wade apparently has the power to veto coach Erik Spoelstra’s call for zone defense. “As a captain, at that time, I just kind of vetoed it. That isn’t going to happen much but I felt we needed to be more aggressive and a zone would’ve made us a little lackadaisical.”
- Anyone who saw Nicolas Batum collapse into a heap, grabbing his knee, late Monday night in the Blazers-Jazz game probably felt sick to his or her stomach. However, according to Batum: “I don’t think it will be too bad.”

How to Improve Your Tolerance for ChangePosted on: July 25, 2021, by : Tuesday
Change Can Be Intimidating
I know change can be intimidating. I want to give you four practical principles that you can use to help yourself become more comfortable with change. Keep in mind, when I talk about change, I am talking about major, unplanned change. What I am referring to are principles that you can use in any situation to help guide you in your transition.
1. It must challenge you to change you. When it comes down to it, so many of us allow our fear of change to dominate our actions. The fear of what might happen overshadows the possibility of what could happen in our minds. Growth comes from navigating through challenges. You must be willing to be challenged.
2. Change your thinking to change your circumstances. For many of us, we strive to keep things are they are—familiar, safe, and predictable—that is until we want to change. Once we have decided that we are ready to change, that is when possibilities become reality. It is up to you to decide that you are ready for change and that it is time for change to happen.
3. All significant change begins within. Now I understand that this may seem a bit limiting but it is quite empowering. Certain changes do occur that drastically alter life as we know it. We tend to be reactionary in these situations and strive to return ourselves to the circumstances that make us feel more comfortable. Significant change occurs when you decide to proactively pursue change, rather than simply reacting to what has occurred.
4. Do not underestimate your tolerance for ambiguity. This may seem daunting. I believe that by putting yourself in situations where outcomes are unknown you can benefit developmentally. Once you realize how capable and strong you are, you find yourself quite empowered. From the empowerment you gain the courage to withstand challenging circumstances and navigate through change.
I challenge you to develop a mindset that embraces change. You never know how rewarding and fulfilled your life can be until you do.
Need more support as you navigate through change?

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease that probably involves several genetic loci. Several rare genetic variants and one common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of MUC5B have been associated with the disease. Our aim was to identify additional common variants associated with susceptibility and ultimately mortality in IPF.
Methods: First, we did a three-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS): stage one was a discovery GWAS; and stages two and three were independent case-control studies. DNA samples from European-American patients with IPF meeting standard criteria were obtained from several US centres for each stage. Data for European-American control individuals for stage one were gathered from the database of genotypes and phenotypes; additional control individuals were recruited at the University of Pittsburgh to increase the number. For controls in stages two and three, we gathered data for additional sex-matched European-American control individuals who had been recruited in another study. DNA samples from patients and from control individuals were genotyped to identify SNPs associated with IPF. SNPs identified in stage one were carried forward to stage two, and those that achieved genome-wide significance (p<5 × 10(-8)) in a meta-analysis were carried forward to stage three. Three case series with follow-up data were selected from stages one and two of the GWAS using samples with follow-up data. Mortality analyses were done in these case series to assess the SNPs associated with IPF that had achieved genome-wide significance in the meta-analysis of stages one and two. Finally, we obtained gene-expression profiling data for lungs of patients with IPF from the Lung Genomics Research Consortium and analysed correlation with SNP genotypes.
Findings: In stage one of the GWAS (542 patients with IPF, 542 control individuals matched one-by-one to cases by genetic ancestry estimates), we identified 20 loci. Six SNPs reached genome-wide significance in stage two (544 patients, 687 control individuals): three TOLLIP SNPs (rs111521887, rs5743894, rs5743890) and one MUC5B SNP (rs35705950) at 11p15.5; one MDGA2 SNP (rs7144383) at 14q21.3; and one SPPL2C SNP (rs17690703) at 17q21.31. Stage three (324 patients, 702 control individuals) confirmed the associations for all these SNPs, except for rs7144383. Linkage disequilibrium between the MUC5B SNP (rs35705950) and TOLLIP SNPs (rs111521887 [r(2)=0·07], rs5743894 [r(2)=0·16], and rs5743890 [r(2)=0·01]) was low. 683 patients from the GWAS were included in the mortality analysis. Individuals who developed IPF despite having the protective TOLLIP minor allele of rs5743890 carried an increased mortality risk (meta-analysis with fixed-effect model: hazard ratio 1·72 [95% CI 1·24-2·38]; p=0·0012). TOLLIP expression was decreased by 20% in individuals carrying the minor allele of rs5743890 (p=0·097), 40% in those with the minor allele of rs111521887 (p=3·0 × 10(-4)), and 50% in those with the minor allele of rs5743894 (p=2·93 × 10(-5)) compared with homozygous carriers of common alleles for these SNPs.
Interpretation: Novel variants in TOLLIP and SPPL2C are associated with IPF susceptibility. One novel variant of TOLLIP, rs5743890, is also associated with mortality. These associations and the reduced expression of TOLLIP in patients with IPF who carry TOLLIP SNPs emphasise the importance of this gene in the disease.

TALLAHASSEE, FL – According to troubling reports, the manatee population in Florida is dying off at a very high rate so far in 2021 due to the loss of a key food source that the iconic creatures need to survive.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently released a report that has revealed that, as of May 28, 761 manatees have died so far this year; this puts 2021 on a pathway to likely exceed the previous record of 804 deaths in 2018, according to Jon Moore, a marine biologist and oceanographer at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
“If this continues through the rest of the year, this is going to be one of the highest mortality years ever,” he said.

Toxic red tides and overgrowths of algae, known as algal blooms, have contributed to the increasingly polluted quality of Florida’s waterways, which in turn is killing off a key food source for manatees- seagrass, seaweed-like plants that grow underwater, and without them the marine mammals are facing malnourishment and starvation.
“The algal blooms are clouding the water and cutting off light, so the seagrass can’t photosynthesize and sustain themselves,” Moore said.
The St. Johns River Water Management District notes that approximately 58 percent of seagrass in the Indian River Lagoon – a 150-mile estuary where manatees are known to gather to feed annually – has been destroyed since 2009.
Algal blooms, according to executive director of Save the Manatee Club Patrick Rose, are created in large part by nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous – typically from human waste – leaching into waterways, and this issue may also start to impact other creatures that call the waterways of Florida home as well.
“If we don’t take care of our human waste stream, it won’t just go away,” he said. “These natural systems can only absorb so much before they begin to fail, and in these cases, fail catastrophically.”
While previously classified as “endangered” by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manatees were downgraded to a “threatened” species in 2017; however, with the huge uptick in deaths recently, it’s likely that decision will be revisited, Moore said.
“This year’s mortality event may require greater protection for manatees, and we might need to bump them back up into endangered status,” he said. | <urn:uuid:2612b519-8234-4622-a69c-3a0670be8fc3> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.publishedreporter.com/2021/06/04/report-manatees-in-florida-dying-at-high-rates-due-to-loss-of-key-food-source/ | 2021-12-07T03:48:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363332.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207014802-20211207044802-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.960023 | 630 | [

To aid you in making your online gambling experience enjoyable and enjoyable as it ought to be, we’ve created this short and simple piece that highlights a handful of things you must take into consideration prior to deciding to register and deposit funds at any casino online.
Casino Information and License:
In the first place, transparency is an essential aspect for any business. So, a reputable online casino is one that provides its patrons with clear information on its website, and the lack of this information is the sign of an untrustworthy casino. A trusted casino that is online or in a physical location can be found in areas where it is controlled and a license is required to run. Meets this criterion is a great indicator of a trustworthy casino.
For more detail please visit>>>
Quality of Customer Support:
Though most gamblers don’t think about the customer support issue It is imperative to be aware of the support for customers of the casino. It is possible that you will not encounter issues, but if a issues arise, especially if it is financially related, you wouldn’t want to wait 24 hours or more for response. If an online gambling site intends to provide assistance to its customers it must offer 24/7 support that is of high quality and comes with many ways to contact them, such as e-mail or tool’s free phone number, online chat and more. I really recommend you to make a kind of test. Contact the casino’s customer support service before start playing. Ask them few questions about the software platforms, bonuses, and games and rate how long it takes for an appropriate response.
Casino Software Platform:
There are a myriad of casino software providers to choose from. Most of reputable gambling sites often use software from the most reputable providers, such as Microgaming, Real Time Gaming, Rival Gaming, Playtech and Boss Media. Sometimes , gambling websites utilize its own proprietary software, which don’t means that it’s bad, but you must pay extra pay attention to the characteristics of the software and its reputation.
While reviewing the online casino, you must be looking for information on payout percentages. Numerous online casinos release monthly results of their payout percentages. If you’re considering greater percentage of payouts to gain a competitive advantage at the casino you must be aware of the degree of independence in the review of this data.
Before begin playing at any online casino, be aware of the various financial options available. The top rated online casinos typically offer a wide range of deposit and withdraw options. It is important to check your limits on transfer transactions that might be required in some situations that could cause a negative issue against this casino.
Bonuses and Promotions:
Nearly every online casino provides a wide range of bonus and promotions in order to draw attention of players. It is important to keep the fact that bonuses and promotions are a good incentive, but you need to completely know the rules and regulations that apply to these promotions. If the promotions weren’t completely comprehensive you should consider play at a different online casino.
In this piece, you’ve been given a list of crucial points you need to take note of to guide you when choosing an online casino. I cannot assure you that following this advice it will keep you completely safe, but they are certain to be an assortment of common sense crucial points to keep in mind when choosing a casino to play at. | <urn:uuid:1612cc76-1c11-4eff-a023-cca5a777a040> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://fuckvip.app/2021/10/02/key-issues-to-help-you-choosing-an-online-casino/ | 2021-11-29T07:53:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358702.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20211129074202-20211129104202-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.933769 | 760 | [

Laudato Si’ Animators
“Everyone’s talents and involvement are needed.”
Laudato Si’, 14
Become a Laudato Si’ Animator.
Receive in-depth online training and inspiring your community to care for creation.
Stories from the Animators
Isabella Harding has been praying and taking action for God’s creation for decades, long before Pope Francis wrote the encyclical Laudato Si’.
Laudato Si’ Animator Nicholas Collura couldn’t find any Catholic creation care efforts in his archdiocese in the U.S. That gave him an idea.
Laudato Si’ Animators hail from all the different regions of the world. This story comes from the United Kingdom. Through Laudato Si’ Animator Virgnia Bell, we hear the experience they lived during Laudato Si’ Lent.
‘Laudato Si’ is the blueprint’ in South Sudan: How Pope Francis’ encyclical inspires care for creation
The environment and situation in Riwoto and South Sudan are far from ideal. Decades of war have devastated communities and creation. But through Laudato Si’, Pope Francis has shown them the way forward, and Fr. Galvin and the people of Riwoto are following his plan. “We have a problem,” Galvin said, “and Laudato Si’ is the blueprint.”
At the end of the six-week training, all Animators lead their community to care for creation by completing a final project. Join the free program today.
My ecological conversion started at the end of 2019 when I began to inform myself about Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’. My experiences encouraged me to see how caring for our common home is fundamental to a more just and equal society. Before that, I had not realized how everything is interconnected.

Before becoming a Laudato Si’ Animator last year, Anna Maria Bianchi of Italy was searching for a holistic spirituality, something that would bring together all aspects of her Catholic faith.
The work was hard, but I came to see the connections between the products that I use, fossil fuels, and the face of those harmed by environmental injustice and moral loss. One of my friends said it best, “I will never see the world as I did before.” I feel my fourth conversion coming on… I have become a Laudato Si’ Animator.
Last month, Kit stepped up her activism by becoming a Laudato Si’ Animator. During the six-week training, she connected with thousands of passionate Catholics around the world and learned about the root causes of the climate crisis, as well as the key themes of Laudato Si’.

Different vaccines were developed to mitigate the chances of getting the Covid-19 virus. Currently in the US , fully vaccinated people between the ages of 18 and 24 correspond to 55.6% of the total for the age group; from 50 to 64, 75.6%; and over 75, 82.5%. Many people are afraid or have some kind of mental health problem in the face of a vaccination, however, many have reaped benefits to their mental health after being vaccinated.
According to the study “COVID-19 vaccines and mental distress” , made by The Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR), of 8000 adults consulted between March 2020 and March 2021, where more than 157,000 behaviors were observed about their moods, it was determined that a 15% decrease in severe depression and a 4% decrease in mild depression occurred.
As stated Cecily Havert, MD, a physician at Northern Virginia Family Care Practice: ““The vaccine represented control over an incredibly upsetting and even traumatic experience in the lives of Americans, and the rest of the world”. Therefore, among the benefits that have been obtained, for example: people who got vaccinated reported reduced anxiety and depression compared to people who were not vaccinated. Experts say getting vaccinated offers a sense of control over a traumatic experience. | <urn:uuid:5bc3449d-e58f-4496-b201-65a2e3575793> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://neighborsc.org/vaccines-a-good-idea-for-your-mental-health/ | 2021-11-29T08:46:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358702.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20211129074202-20211129104202-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.971815 | 296 | [

The country was hopelessly and utterly devastated, and the population was ready to accept any rule, Ukrainian or foreign, which could bring about peace and order. However, amidst the ruin of the demoralized and discouraged population, at the moment of greatest turmoil, a leader appeared. Far superior to his contemporaries, he succeeded, at least for a time, in inspiring Ukrainians with hope and faith in their own strength, gave them a new ideal, and with an heroic effort raised the country out of the abyss of anarchy, re-united its divided parts, and created for a time an independent state, as Bohdan Khmelnytsky had done before him. This was Petro Doroshenko.

COSSACK HETMAN (from the German Hauptmann and the Polish hetman: ‘leader’).
In the Polish Kingdom in the 16th century, local military commanders and administrators were known as hetmans. The title was also used for the supreme military commander both in Poland and in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (see Grand hetman). At the end of the 16th century the commander of the Cossacks, originally known as the elder (starshyi), also became known as the hetman.
From 1648 the hetman was the head of the Cossack state (see Hetman state). In this capacity he had broad powers as the supreme commander of the Cossack army; the chief administrator and financial officer, presiding over the state’s highest administrative body, the General Officer Staff; the top legislator; and from the end of the 17th century, the supreme judge as well.
The first hetman who was also head of the state was Bohdan Khmelnytsky. The hetman issued administrative decrees, called Hetman manifestos, which were binding on the whole population. His powers extended to some degree even to church affairs: he confirmed the appointment of church hierarchs and endowed bishoprics, monasteries, and sometimes churches with lands. He also appointed many officials of the state and granted land for service. The hetman represented the state in its external relations, receiving and sending out envoys and concluding treaties. With the partition of Ukrainian territories between Poland and Muscovy in the 1660s there arose competing hetmans in Right-Bank Ukraine and Left-Bank Ukraine and a prolonged period of civil war began. Right-Bank hetmans soon lost their political power, becoming simply commanders of Cossack military formations under Polish or Ottoman control.
Hetmans were elected by the General Military Council for an unspecified term: in principle for life, but in practice for ‘as long as it pleases the host.’ Since their authority was not constitutionally defined, it varied greatly and depended on the personalities of the individuals involved. In general, their authority overlapped or was limited by the powers of other state institutions, such as the General Military Council and the Council of Officers, which included senior officers and colonels of the Cossack regiments. From the end of the 17th century the tsar of Muscovy, through his representatives at the military councils, greatly influenced the election of hetmans. In the 18th century the hetman’s powers were reduced and he became more dependent on the tsar. In particular, the tsarist government deprived hetmans of the right to conduct their own foreign relations and steadily increased its control over Ukraine’s internal administration. In Left-Bank Ukraine each new hetman swore an oath of allegiance to the tsar and concluded a new agreement with the tsarist government outlining his rights and responsibilities (see Hetman articles).
The list of Hetmans of all Ukraine were:
• Predslav Lyantskoronsky (1506–1512)
• Ostap Dashkevych (1506–1536)
• Dmytro Vyshnevetsky (1550–1564)

• Bogdan Mikoshinsky (1586–1594)
• Kryshtof Kosynsky (1591–1593)
• Hryhory Loboda (1593–1596)
• Severyn Nalyvaiko (1596)
• Petro Konashevych (Sahaidachny) led successful campaigns against the Tatars and the Turks, aided the Polish army at Moscow in 1618 and at the Battle of Khotyn in 1621. He also saw Cossack interests in the independence of Ukraine from Poland.
• Mykhailo Doroshenko (1623–1628)
o Hryhoriy Chorny (1628-1630), elected by Registered Cossacks
o Taras Fedorovych (1629–1630), elected by unregistered Cossacks
• Ivan Sulyma (1630–1635)
• Dmytro Hunia (1638)
• Bohdan Khmelnytsky (1648–1657) was the first Hetman of the Cossack Hetmanate, who is credited for ending Poland’s control of Ukraine which he placed under the protection of Russia.
• Ivan Bohun (June 1651)
• Ivan Vyhovsky (1657–1659)
• Yuhym Somko (1660–1663)
• Yurii Khmelnytsky (1659–1662) (1678-1681)(in the Right-bank Ukraine)

• Ivan Briukhovetsky (1663-1668)
• Demian Mnohohrishny (1669-1672)
• Mykhailo Khanenko (1669-1674)
• Ivan Samoylovych (1672–1687)
• Ivan Mazepa (1687–1708) led a failed attempt to win Ukrainian independence from Russia by siding with the Swedes against Peter I of Russia.
• Pylyp Orlyk Briefly successor of Hetman Ivan Mazepa.
• Ivan Skoropadsky (1708–1722)
• Pavlo Polubotok (1722–1723)
• Danylo Apostol (1727–1734)
• Kyrylo Rozumovsky(1750–1764)
After several earlier attempts, the office of hetman was finally abolished by Catherine II in 1764, and its responsibilities were assumed by the Little Russian Collegium. Hetman rule displayed both monarchic and republican tendencies, but the former were dominant, particularly under B. Kmelnytsky, who hoped to establish a hereditary hetmancy, I. Samoilovych, and I. Mazepa. The hetman’s insignia included the bulava, standard, flag, and seal. An officer who carried out temporarily the duties of a hetman was known as the acting hetman. Many hetmans gained renown as patrons of Ukrainian culture by establishing monasteries and schools.
Pavlo Skoropadsky, the head of the Ukrainian state from April to December 1918, revived the title of hetman. (See Hetman government.)

Having gotten rid of Mnohohrishny, the Cossack officers sent a delegate to Moscow in the person of Ivan Lysenko with a draft of new conditions for the election of a hetman. It was stipulated that the hetman was not to enter into relations with foreign powers; he was not to punish the Cossacks or peasants except after judgment by a Cossack law court; only the Cossack officers would in future elect the hetman, the common Cossacks were not even to be present at the election; and the tsar was to send an army to safeguard the election. The Cossack Council took place on June 16, 1672, in a desert steppe near the small town of Kozacha Dibrova, on the Muscovite frontier. Only the Cossack officers participated in the election, the common Cossacks in attendance being merely witnesses. The council drew up new articles known as the Articles of Konotop. In the main, they only completed the Articles of Hlukhiv of 1669. The hetman’s power was curtailed while the volunteer regiments which could give support to a hetman, were abolished. Ivan Samoilovych, the supreme Cossack judge, was elected hetman. He had been one of the conspirators against Hetman Mnohohrishny.
The new hetman was the son of a priest, originally from Right Bank Ukraine who settled on the other bank and had a parish near Konotop. For this reason, Samoilovych, bore all his life the nickname of popovych (son of a priest). He had been in the Kyivan Academy and was an intelligent and well-educated man. He was a follower of Brukhovetsky and had taken part in the rising against Muscovy ,of 1668. He then attached himself to Mnohohrishny, obtained a pardon from the tsar, and at the Council of Hhukhiv was elected supreme Cossack judge. Samoilovych was very hostile to Poland, but in favour of an alliance with the sultan. He was against the partition of Ukraine and insisted on uniting both parts, the Right and Left Banks, under one government, his own, of course, not that of Doroshenko.
The defeat of 1672 caused a patriotic reaction in Poland. The Seim voted an extra grant for an army of 60,000 men. The Pope sent a considerable sum for its armament. The Polish government decided not to pay the promised indemnity and started to prepare for a new war.
The Muscovite government, having placidly witnessed Poland’s defeat, considered that by the Treaty of Buchach, the Polish government had renounced its rights and claims to Right Bank Ukraine and thus annulled the Treaty of Andrussovo. Therefore, the tsar began negotiations with Doroshenko, offering him protection and threatening that if this was not accepted there would be war. At the same time, Poland made new attempts to win over Doroshenko or to put Khanenko in his place. Under these complicated and uncertain conditions there was nothing left for Doroshenko to do but to wait and see who would win, and take advantage accordingly to realize his plans.
In the autumn of 1673, Polish preparations for a new war were completed, and the king could, according to a Polish historian, “review an army the like of which Poland had not produced since the battle of Berestechko in 1649″. It consisted of 40,000 well-armed men with 50 guns, and 12,000 Lithuanians, not counting armed servants. Jan Sobieski was at the head of the army. Circumstances were also generally in favour of Poland; the Tatar khan was ill and the whole population of the Crimea stricken by an epidemic. Sirko, the Zaporozhian leader, was harassing the Tatars. The princes of Moldavia and Wallachia sided with Poland. Doroshenko showed no great wish to fight, although he was promised munitions by the Turks. The sultan himself was not very active at this time.
In November, 1673, Sobieski defeated the vanguard of the Turkish army near Khotyn and next day captured Khotyn with its powerful fortress. The victory of Khotyn made a great impression and soon procured the Polish crown for Jan Sobieski, as King Michael Vyshnevetski died on the very day of the Khotyn victory. The Poles, however, as once before after the battle of Chudniv, could take no advantage of their brilliant victory. The Lithuanian army refused to go any further and started homewards. The discomfort of an autumn campaign in a ruined and devastated country caused many desertions also in the Polish army. Nearly half of the army left the ranks after Khotyn because they had received no pay. When news of the king’s death arrived, many nobles also returned home. The campaign was bound to come to an end. When in the spring of 1674 it was renewed, the Turks were prepared and drove the Poles out of Moldavia.
In the meantime Samoilovych persuaded the Muscovite government to declare war on Doroshenko just as Poland and Turkey were engaged in their strife. At the end of January, 1674, the united forces of Muscovy and Samoilovych crossed the Dnipro. Doroshenko’s Cossacks offered stubborn resistance, but they were not able to withstand the overwhelming force of the enemy. The hetman’s brother, Hryhori Doroshenko, was defeated near Lysianka and taken prisoner. On March 17, 1674, Samoilovych called the General Cossack Council and was proclaimed hetman on both sides of the Dnipro. In June, Samoilovych and Romodanovski besieged Doroshenko in Chyhyryn. For a fortnight they bombarded the place, but Doroshenko resisted. He was expecting help from the Turks and Tatars.
At that time, the Sultan was in Moldavia pursuing his campaign against Poland. Hearing of Doroshenko’s distress, instead of continuing to advance into Poland, he returned to Ukraine. Here the sultan was joined by the Crimean khan, Selim Girey, whom the sultan had sent in advance to hasten to Doroshenko’s help. Hearing of the approaching khan, Samoilovych and the Muscovites raised the siege and crossed the Dnipro. After that Doroshenko and the khan on the one side, and the sultan on the other, set themselves to re-conquer Ukraine. The unhappy country was drowned in blood. The territory of the regiment of Uman which had remained with Khanenko suffered especially. The Grand Vizier Mustapha, having taken Uman, razed the town to the ground, its population being partly butchered and partly taken prisoner. Doroshenko, having met the sultan in September, 1674, near the ruined Uman, obtained pardon for the prisoners. Afterwards the Turks and the Tatars returned home, and Doroshenko continued to re-assert his authority in the country. Enraged against those who had gone over to Samoilovych, he took cruel reprisals against them.
Right Bank Ukraine was once again under Doroshenko’s authority, but at what incredible price! The country lay half ruined. Many thousands of people, taking their families and belongings, fled to the Left Bank, hoping to find there more peaceful living conditions. To complete the misfortunes of the unhappy country, immediately following on the Turks and the Tatars, Jan Sobieski, now king, advanced into Ukraine and started the re-conquest of Podilia. Quite a number of Podilian towns were beseiged, captured, and burnt to the ground, leaving hardly any population at all. The country was turned into a vast desert, covered with ruins and charred remains, and strewn with human bones.

Ritter Sport, who continue to outperform the block chocolate market with double digit growth*, has announced its 2021 festive range, with its three bestselling Winter Edition 100g bars returning to shelves in newly designed matte film packaging, with increased distribution following exceptional sales success in 2020. Joining them are two Ritter Sport Mini Towers, new Nut Selection and popular Chocolate Mix, first appearing in Christmas 2020.
The Ritter Sport Winter Edition line-up:
Caramelized Almonds: Delicious Milk chocolate smothered over chopped, caramelized sugar glazed almonds
Spiced Biscuit: Smooth milk chocolate and cocoa crème wrapped around a winter spice biscuit
Coconut Macaroon: Creamy milk chocolate and coconut crème smothered around tasty pieces of coconut macaroons
Available to convenience via Bestway, Rayburn and Dhamecha.
Other stockists include Sainsbury’s, OCADO, Wilko plus on Ritter Sport’s own online choco store.
The range is set to drive significant profits once again as Katy Clark, Head of Marketing at Ritter Sport UK & IRE recalls: “Despite footfall down 30% over last year’s Christmas period due to COVID-19, the Winter Edition bars still saw a 95% total sell through within a major high street retailer. A promising indicator of their performance and consumer demand.”
There’s a similar success story to be expected for Ritter Sport’s Mini Tower Chocolate Mix gifting format which is joined by a new nutty SKU for 2021:
New for 2021 – Mini Tower Nut Selection (7 pieces)
A nut lover’s heaven containing perfect squares packed with Whole Hazelnuts and wrapped in deliciously smooth Milk, Dark or White chocolate.
Mini Tower Chocolate Mix (9 pieces)
Packed with our favourite squares including cornflake, praline, butter biscuit, alpine milk, chopped hazelnut and festive marzipan.
“The format is ideal for the Christmas gifting period as a either a stocking filler or token gift for family and friends, or even a thank you for teachers at the end of a busy year,” says Katy.
Mini Towers are available in Waitrose, Morrisons and Spar with an MRRP £3 or promo of 2 for £5 plus on Ritter Sport’s own online choco store.
“The mini tower format had a great first year in market last Christmas with a ‘top 6’ retailer selling the Mini Tower Chocolate Mix, selling through the entire original predicted volumes by the first week in November! The retailer went on to place an additional order and we were pleased to see that the gifting format was resonating with consumers and fulfilling a shopper need,” Katy continues.
Importantly, the primary packaging for both Mini Towers is fully recyclable, and the paper-based secondary packaging is FSC certified. Research revealed 21% of chocolate buyers are tempted by products which are available in recyclable packaging¹. Ritter Sport is a leader in this important area, says Katy. Its CO2 neutral status reflects its passion to do things sustainably, which is at the very heart of the brand.
Another big year for Ritter Sport
The launch of the 2021 festive range rounds off another big year for Ritter Sport UK & IRE, who launched Ritter Sport Mini Pouches and Ritter Sport Mini impulse bars here in the spring. The results aren’t in yet for 2021, but in 2020 the family-owned German chocolate maker posted a record year, its sixth consecutive growth year since launching. Ritter Sport outperformed the block chocolate market in all channels with 37% annual growth, 50% ahead of the category.

After using angular basics, it become important to understand better how exactly the modules are loaded and how to take advantage of this when planning to port the application to the new Angular2.0 or event moving angular 1.x to ES2015 modules.
As the documentation describes modules are a way to isolate behavior and application concerns.
Angular modules are divided in two straight forward blocks:
- Configuration blocks: Provider (not instances)
- Run blocks: instances (not Providers)
Creation / Retrieval
Important notion to avoid headaches!
is completely different from
First one will create a module (and overwrite if the case), the last will retrieve the previously defined module (or throw error if not defined.)

Will Blockchain Make Shipping more Efficient in the Future?
Shipping in some cases is not restricted to the transportation of cargo by ships, but it refers to the transportation of items by mail of any means, the form of transportation could be air, road or train, but the most used form is transportation by sea.
According to the Ghana Shipping Guide, 90% of the trade in the world is dependent on the shipping industry; in other words, shipping is the lifeblood of the world’s economy. The shipping industry is one of the largest business industries ever and continues to expand, the international chamber of shipping (ICS) reports that there are over 50,000 ships at sea, that travel from nation to nation, carrying all types of cargo.
Although the shipping industry is continuously increasing in size and technological advancement, it is still plagued by its reliance on archaic systems and processes to conduct business, which in most cases is not sufficient to deal with the modern challenges facing shipping.
The Pros and Cons we See Today
The world’s largest shipping company, Maersk- in conjunction with IBM, launched in a blockchain venture, called TradeLens, aimed at transforming how trading activities are carried out. Blockchain has found itself in many industries all around the globe where it has either been used to solve problems or enhance performance and now we see it growing need in the shipping industry. But a significant issue of how exactly it can create an impact in this space still comes to mind. Here are some of the ways blockchain technology can make shipping more efficient:
1. Payment and dispute: According to Winnesota, it is estimated that about $140 billion is trapped in payment disputes that haven’t been settled, these losses recorded by business owners could inhibit the overall growth of this sector as it reduces the pace of advancement. For almost every invoice, the company it belongs to has to wait for up to 42 days before it can receive its payment. Such unnecessary delays will be eliminated or drastically reduced because blockchain technology will provide clarity with each financial payment, and also ensure money is delivered speedily to those who own it.
2. Cost of administration: Administration cost makes up to at least 20% of the shipping cost, which is mostly since most shipping companies rely on the use of paper to conduct their transactions. A shipment during its course of delivery could pass through the hands of 30 different organizations, which requires people at every station to monitor it and ensure delivery. With the use of blockchain technology, the system would be digitized thereby eliminating any need for traditional documentation, as every piece of information will be entered and stored on the blockchain ledger, it will also reduce the cost spent on paying employees, as the blockchain will be responsible for the security and monitoring of goods.
3. Efficiency in quality delivery: it is very common for cargo to get damaged or lost during shipment, when this happens it affects customer perception of the company’s service and lead may lead to instances where customers refuse to patronize them again. With the introduction of blockchain technology, customers can monitor the location of their products from the comfort of their homes, -this has already been implemented in some companies- in addition to this customers will also be able to verify the quality of their products, by accessing the certificate of origin from the manufacturer.
However disruptive and beneficial this technology might be to this sector there might be some drawbacks:
1. Issues of flexibility
In every transaction involving delivery, there would always be deliveries with unforeseen circumstances, which would be best addressed through a commercial appreciate this flexibility might be hindered.
2. Global adoption
One of the significant disadvantages faced by this technology in every aspect it can be implemented is in its adoption as many countries are yet to grasp the concept of what potential this technology holds, let alone implementing its usage. However, this might change in the coming years.

BEIJING: Ferrous futures in China declined on Tuesday, with Shanghai steel products down more than 3% in early trade tracking a drop in raw material prices, disrupted by domestic coronavirus situation and the coming restocking plan.
China reported 55 new COVID-19 cases for Jan.11. Hebei has stepped up restrictions to stop further infections, though it also hampered steel mills' outbound transportation.
Meanwhile, the winter restocking for steel products - normally weeks ahead of the Chinese New Year holidays - also disrupted steel prices.
"Considering off-peak season has arrived... market will not accept high profit margins for steel products," analysts with Huatai Futures wrote in a note.
Most active steel rebar contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, for May delivery, fell 2.5% to 4,296 yuan ($664.20) a tonne as of 0200 GMT.
Hot rolled coil, used in the manufacturing sector, slipped 2.6% to 4,429 yuan a tonne.

Napoleon Pass (12,020') is flanked by Fitzpatrick Peak (13,124') and Napoleon Mountain (12,563'). Some of the wonderful things about Taylor Park in winter include these great bluebird days, unparalleled scenery, and the distinct lack crowds. Best of all, our tracks are transient, much like our time here.

Taco Bell pushed past Burger King in 2017 to become No. 4 restaurant chain in the U.S., with $9.8 billion in sales to BK's $9.3 billion. And with No. 3 Subway's sales sagging, Taco Bell could jump into the top three in 2018, according to research firm Technomic. The rising popularity of Mexican-style cuisine, Taco Bell's low-priced offerings, and the misfortunes of Chipotle Mexican Grill likely helped Taco Bell. | <urn:uuid:9a7fe558-5e4c-4034-8788-d62175f9c38b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/315039/taco-bell-bumps-bk-as-no-4-us-restaurant-chain.html | 2021-12-02T16:23:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362230.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202145130-20211202175130-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.950384 | 102 | [

Gone are the days of grotty student digs, as student fees have increased, and the international student market takes the UK by hold, student accommodation is entering a new era.
Along with high expectations of quality, accommodation prices have increased to cover the much-needed influx of refurbishment work and luxury new builds.
The budgets attached to creating student accommodation have increased dramatically and as many high-end private providers are showing students what modern student accommodation can offer for a little more on their weekly rent, accommodation suppliers are now scrambling to compete with each other.
The market is seeing a rise in competition, with the weak being left behind. Accommodation providers have become embroiled in a battle for the best look at the cheapest price. Providers are fighting to keep up with technology, design, trends, lifestyle and quality to entice the students into their accommodation and to pay that little bit extra – just to say they live in the most amazing digs!
Whilst the look is key, quality is a message that never dies. Accommodation providers need quality from suppliers to ensure those high initial budgets can withstand years of use, without constant pressure on the financials, which is what happens when cheap furniture fails.
If a typical bedroom filled with quality furniture costs £1500 and one with cheap furniture costs £700, the consideration of how long the furniture needs to last is a key one.
Looking at recent case studies of JT Ellis bedrooms vs main competitors, a £1500 room lasting 20 years costs £1.56 per week whist a £700 lasting 5 years costs £2.91per week! More than double for products that won’t last half the time.
And those numbers don’t include the hassle factor of replacing furniture.
Providers are sometimes lured by a cheap quick fix, with a view of modernisation requirements every 5-7 years. So why spend a little more for something that will last longer?
It’s simple…… because the furniture will be in pristine condition, so a full refurbishment wouldn’t be required for the duration of its 20-year guarantee. Worktops, doors, and drawer fronts can be changed to new colours/designs in a flash of the time and cost it takes to undergo a full refurbishment. Seems like a no brainer!

WASHINGTON: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo posted a video on Twitter Thursday he said showed Iraqis “dancing in the street” after the United States killed top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani.
“Iraqis — Iraqis — dancing in the street for freedom; thankful that General Soleimani is no more,” Pompeo wrote, alongside footage of scores of people running along a road and waving what appeared to be Iraqi flags and other banners.
President Donald Trump ordered the killing of the Iran Revolutionary Guards commander, who died Friday “in a decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad,” the Pentagon said.
President Donald Trump said Friday that Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani should have been killed long before.
In his first substantial comments on the operation, carried out earlier Friday at Baghdad's international airport, Trump tweeted that Soleimani "should have been taken out many years ago!"
Soleimani "has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more...but got caught!" Trump said.
White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien said Friday that any Iranian retaliation in response to the US killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani would be a “very poor decision.”
O’Brien, briefing reporters on the US operation in a conference call, said Soleimani was struck while traveling around the Middle East planning attacks against American military personnel and diplomats in the region.
Iran told the United Nations Security Council and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday that it reserves its right to self-defense under international law after the USattack on Soleimani.
Iranian U.N. Ambassador Majid Takht Ravanchi wrote in a letter that the killing of Soleimani "by any measure, is an obvious example of State terrorism and, as a criminal act, constitutes a gross violation of the fundamental principles of international law, including, in particular, those stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations."
The US Department of Defense said in a statement: “General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.”
“General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more.”
Pompeo did not provide a source for the video or offer any details about where the images were filmed.

The strike at Baghdad’s international airport also killed the deputy chief of Iraq’s powerful Hashed Al-Shaabi paramilitary force.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani was planning imminent action that threatened American citizens when he was killed in the US strike.
"He was actively plotting in the region to take actions - a big action, as he described it - that would have put dozens if not hundreds of American lives at risk," Pompeo told CNN.
"We know it was imminent," Pompeo said of Soleimani's plot, without going into detail about the nature of the planned operation.
"These were threats that were located in the region," Pompeo added. "Last night was the time that we needed to strike to make sure that this imminent attack ... was disrupted."
"This was an intelligence-based assessment that drove our decision-making process," Pompeo added.
Pompeo said the United States remains committed to de-escalation with Iran but will defend itself. He added that the United States has fortified its assets in the region and is prepared for any possible retaliation, including a cyberattack.
Hours after news of the attack, the US embassy in Baghdad urged American citizens in Iraq on Friday to "depart immediately", for fear of fallout from a US strike that killed top Iranian and Iraqi commanders.
"US citizens should depart via airline while possible, and failing that, to other countries via land," the embassy said in a statement.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is deeply concerned by the recent rise in tensions in the Middle East, where the United States killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani following violent protests at its embassy in Baghdad.
"The Secretary-General has consistently advocated for de-escalation in the Gulf. He is deeply concerned with the recent escalation," said his spokesman, Farhan Haq, in a statement. "This is a moment in which leaders must exercise maximum restraint. The world cannot afford another war in the Gulf."
The US strike hit outside Baghdad airport early Friday but security sources told AFP it was still open to flights.
A pro-Iran mob this week laid siege to the US embassy following deadly American airstrikes on a hard-line Hashed faction.
The US had called the strikes in response to a rocket attack days earlier that killed an American contractor working in Iraq.
The Pentagon said Soleimani had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over the past months, including on December 27, the day the contractor was killed.
“General Soleimani also approved the attacks on the US Embassy in Baghdad that took place this week,” it said.
Republican lawmakers quickly spoke out Thursday in strong support of Trump's attack that killed Soleimani.
“In a display of resolve and strength, we struck the leader of those attacking our sovereign US territories,” top House Republican Kevin McCarthy said in a statement.
Soleimani was a terrorist. President Trump and our brave servicemembers just reminded Iran—and the world—that we will not let attacks against Americans go unpunished.
— Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) January 3, 2020
The sentiment was swiftly echoed by his fellow Republicans.
“Wow - the price of killing and injuring Americans has just gone up drastically,” Senator Lindsey Graham, a close confidant of Trump, wrote on Twitter.
Wow - the price of killing and injuring Americans has just gone up drastically. Major blow to Iranian regime that has American blood on its hands. Soleimani was one of the most ruthless and vicious members of the Ayatollah's regime. He had American blood on his hands.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 3, 2020
Former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley also praised the attack.
“Qassem Soleimani was an arch terrorist with American blood on his hands,” Haley said on Twitter. “his demise should be applauded by all who seek peace and justice. “proud of president trump for doing the strong and right thing.”
Qassem Soleimani was an arch terrorist with American blood on his hands. His demise should be applauded by all who seek peace and justice. Proud of President Trump for doing the strong and right thing. @realDonaldTrump
— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) January 3, 2020
Trump's former advisor John Bolton always praised the killing of Soleimani and "congratulated" those involved.
Congratulations to all involved in eliminating Qassem Soleimani. Long in the making, this was a decisive blow against Iran's malign Quds Force activities worldwide. Hope this is the first step to regime change in Tehran.
— John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) January 3, 2020
The high praise from the right stood in stark contrast to reaction from Democrats, who severely criticized Trump's latest move in a sign of Washington's polarization ahead of this year's presidential elections.
“President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox,” said former vice president Joe Biden, who leads the pack of Democratic contenders, in a statement.
“Iran will surely respond. We could be on the brink of a major conflict across the Middle East,” Biden said.
US entrepreneur and Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang wrote on Twitter that “war with Iran is the last thing we need and is not the will of the American people.
“We should be acting to deescalate tensions and protect our people in the region.”
Democratic Vermont senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said “Trump's dangerous escalation brings us closer to another disastrous war in the Middle East that could cost countless lives and trillions more dollars.”
It was already a topic trending in US-based think tank and diplomatic circles late Thursday.
“Make no mistake: any war with Iran will not look like the 1990 Gulf war or the 2003 Iraq war,” Richard Haass, president of the US-based Council on Foreign Relations, wrote on Twitter.
“The region (and possibly the world) will be the battlefield,” he wrote.
Bahrain said on Friday it is following the developments in Iraq and called for de-escalation after the US air strike, according to state news agency BNA.
Egypt's Foreign Ministry said on Friday it was following developments in Iraq with "great concern" and appealed against any further escalation.
"The Foreign Ministry is following with great concern accelerating developments in Iraq, which augur an escalation it is important to avoid," the statement said.
"For this reason, Egypt calls for containing the situation and avoiding any escalation."
Yemen’s government on Friday said it considered the killing of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani an important step to end conflict in the region.
The comment was posted on Twitter by Muammar Al-Iryani, Information Minister of the internationally-recognised government, after the United States carried out an air strike in Iraq that killed Soleimani, architect of Iran’s military influence in the Middle East.
This section contains relevant reference points, placed in (Opinion field)
In response to the attack, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that a “harsh retaliation is waiting” for the US after the airstrike, calling Soleimani the “international face of resistance.” Khamenei declared three days of public mourning for the general’s death.
Iran also summoned the Swiss charges d'affaires, who represents US interests in Tehran, to protest the killing.
Iranian state television called Trump’s order to kill Soleimani “the biggest miscalculation by the US” since World War II. “The people of the region will no longer allow Americans to stay," it said.
Iranian-backed Houthi militia, who control Yemen's capital Sanaa, also called for "swift reprisals" for the killing of Soleimani.
"We condemn this killing and direct and swift reprisals are the answer," senior Houthi official Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi tweeted.
The US air strike in Baghdad which killed Iranian Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani will increase insecurity and instability in the region, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
In a written statement, the ministry said that it was deeply concerned by the rising tensions between the United States and Iran, and that turning Iraq into an area of conflict will harm peace and stability in the region.
Lebanon's foreign ministry on Friday called for the country and wider region to be spared any repercussions from the US air strike that killed the commander of Iran's elite Quds Force.
The ministry also condemned the killing, calling it a violation of Iraqi sovereignty and a dangerous escalation against Iran.
Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad on Friday sung the praise of slain Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani, who played a key role in saving his regime in the nearly nine-year-old Syrian conflict.
The Syrian people "will not forget that he stuck by the side of the Syrian Arab army", Assad said in a letter of condolences sent to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Meanwhile, France’s embassy in Tehran on Friday urged its citizens in Iran to stay away from public gatherings after the killing of Soleimani.
“Three days of mourning have been declared after the death of General Soleimani. In this context, we recommend French citizens to stay away from any gatherings and to behave with prudence and discretion and abstain from taking pictures in public spaces,” it said in a statement on Twitter.
Royal Jordanian Airlines said on Friday it suspended flights to Baghdad's international airport until further notice due to the security situation.
The state carrier, which has eighteen scheduled flights every week to Baghdad, said its flights to other Iraqi cities were not affected and operating normally. | <urn:uuid:3f346f0a-40ab-4c8f-ae84-4618a97d0835> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.arabnews.com/node/1607776/middle-east | 2021-12-05T20:45:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363216.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205191620-20211205221620-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.959743 | 2,667 | [

Carissa Does Design
My parents had a retirement goal they never had a chance to achieve. They planned to retire at the Lake of the Ozarks. Once dad was gone; mother and I needed a happy place more than ever. I made a crazy decision to invest in a Lake condo myself. Way too young? Probably. Either way, I owned a lake condo and had a blast designing my first interior project. | <urn:uuid:41f49e22-bb85-443d-b842-42466f7fe8ac> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://www.carissabieleblog.com/2009/03/carissa-does-design.html | 2021-12-07T12:07:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363376.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207105847-20211207135847-00275.warc.gz | en | 0.98698 | 84 | [

If we have a point we must have a circle at Infinity; in other words, we would say that vectors are a better way of doing business, but for the tendency to restrict their use to linear algebra, and to only use Complex numbers when magic is sought.
Taking things on faith might be just the thing for a Random or a Pickle, but those of us who learnt about vectors of intent before our schooling was done found it necessary to go back to first principles and look again at the theory of change.
With change, we must think of cities. We are up there with the worst in terms of the inferring of facts from scraps of information. The fact, however, is that, to us, mathematics without Alchemy is as a piece of glass without silver. Silver without glass requires to be polished. Polish mathematicians got rid of operators by turning everything into functions (a literal is a function with no parameters). Once we reverse the notation we may do away with brackets (doing so with straight Polish requires us to read ahead). Providentially, then, rpn allows us to operate an app which works with a language that is a sequence of literals and operators, which can do any and all evil that a language which is a wedding-cake of syntax sugar can.
Now we must look at sets of identifiers, which are called contexts or frames. As objects we would unlikely find them useful except as their being reference entities. They are lists, which needn't be indexed when our app-tool is only going to be used to call a guy, and that guy called this one. They are lists which need to have rules imposed on them. Firstly, we might think that associating two objects with our dictionary could be a useful feature. But this might make our context dictionary too useful; we'd therefore find ourselves brought to the necessity of indexing the keys and thus making arbitrary rules about the comparing of objects for the sake of efficiency.
Responsible programmers don't make changes to a language which will make code that makes use of legitimate side-effects stop working. It's worth noting that a Vbscript routine that makes use of random numbers got silently upgraded: when we put aside the gold we know that every programmer needs to scratch his arse. And we find that, in some countries, the only thing lawyers tell their clients is to go for training on how to swagger. In other words, hindsight is an exact science.
But I don't intend to make a Vbscript compatible language for GNU any more. It may so be that once we give ourselves the project of making a language, making it compatible with this or that language becomes a simple matter. It may so be that hens who feed programmers Einstein backwards want them to think that swaggering husbands and fathers are incapable of comprehending computer theory.
But let's call primary colours, nursery school colours, shall we?
An associative array, or just a Context, may well be used to store a set of colors. But graph theory is like the painting of eggshells; and we prefer to entrust the matter of emptying them, and painting them, to someone else.
Putting Ambergris, Caviar, and the Chinese economic Dilemma aside, the rules for a context, which we call a delta atom, besides that of assignment either appending to the list or replacing an item, includes an arbitrary one which restricts the keys; the rules that make an identifier from a string needn't be detailed, but this rule must be mentioned so that we aren't imposing the requirement to include escaping rules, on whatever makes use of such a list.
And now we come to the meaning of Delta that programmers are more familiar with. Keeping track of every change to a variable brings us to think that perhaps the Halting problem isn't quite correct. Of course, Turing couldn't assess the rule of not modifying code: that would've been a bit unbelievable at the time.
"It just fucking beggars belief that a mathematician is telling us that we must impose rules on ourselves."
How can we hold our heads up high when our mathematicians are behaving like that? | <urn:uuid:14e8a6e2-edf9-45c1-adc5-5fc4dcb83d7b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://killtheworld.co.za/delta | 2021-12-07T13:04:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363376.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207105847-20211207135847-00275.warc.gz | en | 0.962662 | 902 | [

Wow...thank you for the reply but I have to say this is shocking. I have seen all the pictures and videos of people who used the salve on their skin with great results. And I mean a LOT of people. hmmm....I also understood that the dermatologist simply RXd a horrible drug called Aldera (sp?) that made people incredibly ill. God I am so scared about this now:(

Salamanca school board approves final Vets Park project plans
With the public vote on the next proposed capital project in the Salamanca City Central School District less than two months away, the Board of Education has taken one last look at what the project could entail.
The estimated $34.7 million project would see work done at Veterans Memorial Park, the Seneca Intermediate and high school campus, Prospect Elementary School and the bus garage.
The project would have no tax increase and no financial impact to the community, district officials said.
At their April 2 meeting, the school board unanimously approved the finalized scope and dollar amount of the potential project that will be put before district voters.
On May 21, district residents will have the opportunity to approve or reject the proposed project during the annual budget and board election vote.
“We have fully vetted the financial implications of the project — it’s still a zero percent increase to the community — and what the totality of the work will be in the May 21 referendum,” District Superintendent Robert Breidenstein said.
After approval to lease Vets Park from the city in December, Breidenstein said the district held several meetings with various focus groups containing students, athletes, school employees, community members and city and Seneca Nation officials to see what improvements were wanted at Vets Park and other district facilities.
“I would characterize (the meetings) as very positive, interactive and forward-thinking,” he said. “The city representatives and Seneca Nation representatives have been extremely instrumental in helping us shape this proposal.”
Breidenstein said all those who attended the previous meetings had been engaged, thoughtful and gave valuable suggestions on how the project could improve both the school district and the economic revitalization within the community.
A final presentation on the potential scope and financial details of the project was recently delivered by its architects, engineers and financial planners for the board and pub | <urn:uuid:2fdd1683-505e-47bd-a8f3-afa6540fb58e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.salamancawarriors.com/single-post/2019/04/05/salamanca-school-board-approves-final-vets-park-project-plans | 2021-11-28T03:22:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358443.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128013650-20211128043650-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.963691 | 394 | [

The sheer cheek demonstrated by Mrs Lamont is truly breathtaking!
She, not Alex Salmond, is the one with the “brass neck”. She appears at Holyrood, receiving a very generous salary to boot, to carp on about what may or may not happen in the event of a Yes vote.
This is made all the more galling by the fact that she was very noticeable by her absence, either in person or by comment, during the recent Grangemouth and Clyde job scares. Shame on you Mrs Lamont.

What Causes Ant Infestations?
The main reason why ants are entering homes is their search for food. The most logical solution to prevent their appearance is to keep your home clean. Those who want to protect themselves from ant infestations should especially take care about their kitchen and make sure that it is cleaned regularly. However, in some cases ants start entering our homes even though we are taking good care about the hygiene. This can be a huge problem and in most cases it is difficult to solve it. These tiny insects are real workers and they are ready to do everything they can in order to achieve their goals – to find food. Ants can easily enter the smallest holes in your apartment or house and build their colonies/nests there. This is the start of a real invasion on your home. They use these colonies to begin their quests for food. We can often see these colonies outside the places where we live and there is nothing wrong about these colonies because ants are part of our eco-system. But when they start to build colonies inside our homes and try to live with us and that’s when the real problems begin.
Ant infestations can be divided in two types – exterior infestations and interior infestations. Although the main reason for the appearance of both types of infestation is the ants’ attempt to find food they can be treated differently and they differently affect our everyday lives.
In case of an interior infestation, we are talking about ants that are building their colonies/nests inside the home. As we have mentioned before ants are looking for small holes or any discrete space that they find suitable to build their nest – for example small cracks in the wall can give them access to large areas behind the wall, places behind door frames, behind pieces of furniture that we don’t move frequently etc. This type of infestation can be very serious, because besides their constant presence in our homes they can also produce significant damage to our home by using wood and other materials that are necessary to build a stable nest. If they are not eliminated on time, these nests can constantly grow and cause even more damage.
Exterior infestations are not that serious but they can still cause trouble. In this case, ants are building their colonies out of the home and they are usually located in the ground. You can easily spot their presence by finding an anthill. Exterior infestations can be easily tracked because ants create a trail that leads from your home back to their colony. Ants can also be found under porches, piles of wood (especially if the wood is wet) and many other places.
There are many ways to prevent ant infestations. First of all, keep your house clean and keep your food locked. Find small holes and cracks in the walls and plug them. If you see only one ant in your home it means that it is there to observe the terrain.
However once infestation begins, the best thing to do is to call a professional ant control service which can help you eliminate ants and prevent their appearance in the near future. | <urn:uuid:018f2c64-5362-4ff4-8952-fe61ba42aa09> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://allaboutants.net/causes-ant-infestations/ | 2021-12-01T05:43:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359093.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201052655-20211201082655-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.971519 | 629 | [
