Columns from the Sentinella magazine
With the shortest day of the year just behind us, deepest darkest winter is over and January is the time to get planning the spring garden. If you are going to be raising your own plants from seeds, now is the time to get all your seed packets out and see what you've got. Commercial seeds packets have a best before date but in most cases the seeds will last longer than stated. An exception to this is parsnip seeds which are only viable for one year but squash and pumpkin seeds can stay viable for 10 years. Don't give up on old seeds, plant them out and see what you get. You may be surprised by how many germinate and at the very worst you might have some spare plants to swap with friends or give away.
If you are looking for something new to try, January is a great month to settle down by the fire and flick through a few seed catalogues. And with so many catalogues now online now the possibilities are endless. Just take a look at an online catalogue and see how many tomato varieties there are!!
What are the advantages of growing from seed? Being so close to one of the main vegetable production areas in Europe, seedlings are readily available from the semilleros on the coast and in almacens in every town and village. Many of these outlets now sell organic plants. A lot of growers have had great results with these plants but when they have saved the seeds and gone on to plant them the following year the results have not been so good. This is because the plants are, as well as being organic, hybrids. There is nothing wrong with hybrids, they have a place in our food system but the terms F1, hybrid, and GMO are often confused. Just because a plant is organic does not mean it is not a hybrid. Plant breeders have been creating hybrids by cross pollinating two distinct varieties for generations. Natural hybridisation occurs in the garden when pollen is carried from one variety to another by insects. So if you do want to save your own seeds, make sure you start with plants raised from open pollinated seeds.
You'll want to start your summer veg seeds off in February, in a greenhouse, under cover or on a sunny windowsill. Tender seedlings must be protected from frost. So start getting ready now.
There is plenty to do outside this month too. The days are short and growth has slowed down. We're getting a break from the weeds and invasive grasses. Now is a good time to prepare beds for spring planting. The roots of invasive grasses are easier to dig out while they are dormant. Manure or compost can be spread and it's a good idea to cover the beds over with plastic or a heavy mulch of straw or cardboard. When the mulch is removed in the spring, the worms will have been hard at work and your beds will be ready to plant in.
It's not too late to plant some garlic if you haven't already and succession planting of leeks, lettuces, onions, radishes and spinach can continue.
For good, strong tomato poles, cut caña in January while the sap is low.
Readers question: I have heard it's possible to grow pistachio nuts in the Alpujarra. Is this true and can you give me some tips on how to grow them.
Yes it is possible to grow pistachio nuts in the Alpujarra. Pistachio trees like summer temperatures of 38 C and above but also need temperatures below 7 C in winter to complete their dormant period. They can't tolerate temperatures below - 9 C. They are not fussy about soil type and are quite drought tolerant. They prefer infrequent deep watering and can suffer from root rot if they get too much water. There are male and female trees and one of each will be needed to produce nuts. The male trees bear the pollen and the females bear the nuts. They are wind pollinated so bear this in mind and think about your prevailing winds when choosing a position. Grafted trees are available, these are females with male branches grafted on. The trees get very big, very slowly and will bear fruit after 7 years reaching peak production at 20 years of age. They have been known to live and continue to produce for centuries.
February in the garden
The almond blossom shouts that spring is on it's way! February is the time to plant almost everything. Parsnips, carrots, beetroots, fennel, turnips and radishes can be direct sown into those beds that were prepared in January. As soon as you are sure all danger of frost has passed in your area, potatoes can go in the ground. Tomatoes, aubergines, chillies, peppers, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins and courgettes can be sown in seed trays under cover or in the greenhouse, as can lettuce, cabbages, kale, leeks, onions, celery, celeriac and annual herbs and flowers. Leafy greens such as pak choi, rocket, mustard, coriander, spinach, swiss chard and baby leaf salad mix seeds can all be direct sown. Jerusalem artichokes can be planted now too and if you plant peas with wrinkled seeds as soon as the frost has passed you should be able to enjoy plenty of peas before the plants succumb to the summer heat. It's the last chance to plant fruit trees and trees that drop their leaves. As long as there is no risk of frost, finish pruning established fruit trees. And if that's not enough for you to be getting on with, try to keep ahead of the weeds. Hoeing them out regularly when they are small is much easier than dealing with them later when they get so big they start to take over. Don't let them creep up on you!
On Thursday 15th February, Semillas Ecologicas Españolas en Deposito (SEEeD) will be holding a seed swap downstairs in Orgiva's indoor market from 10am till 2pm. Come along and meet other local growers and bring your extra seeds to swap. Don't worry if you don't have any seeds to swap just yet, there will be plenty to buy and a whole lot to give away. Members of SEEeD will be on hand to answer all your seed saving and seed bank questions. SEEeD is a community seed bank that was formed in 2014. It is a small attempt to address the issues facing our seeds on both a local and global level. With more and more growers relying on widely available plantlets from semilleros to grow their gardens, the number of growers growing from seed is dwindling. At the same time, a few giant companies are buying up small and family run seed companies around the world and replacing many of the locally adapted varieties with generalised and more profitable hybrid and patent varieties. The net result of this is a massive, global variety loss, while at the same time eroding the seed saving skills of gardeners and farmers. SEEeD is actively collecting local strains and indigenous seeds from all over the Alpujarra and beyond. Members donate their extra seeds to the bank to be distributed to the local community through swaps, sales or just given in return for a few hours work at the bank. The seed bank is housed at Las Torcas in Tablones and there is a meet there on the first Wednesday of every month from 10am till 2pm. Everyone is welcome. Save our seeds!
Tip: If you want to expand your comfrey patch, 2 inch root cuttings can be taken now and planted into pots to make more comfrey plants.
I would like to grow sweet potatoes this year. Where can I get plants?
Sweet potatoes are grown from slips, and the good news is, you can grow your own! In January or February, find a nice, organic if possible, sweet potato and place it one end down in a glass of water with the other end sticking out the top. Stick three toothpicks in it to hold it in place, just like you would an avocado stone. Place the glass on your kitchen windowsill and keep the water topped up and you will soon start to see roots forming down into the water. Keep watching and shoots will start to sprout upwards. When these shoots are about 4 inches long, they can be picked off with your fingernail, taking a little piece of the sweet potato flesh with them. Pot these in potting compost and plant then out when the soil is warm. Your sweet potato in the glass will keep on yielding new shoots.
It's officially spring! The days are getting longer and warmer and there is lots to do in the garden. All those seeds that were planted in February will be little seedlings by now. Pot them on as soon as they are big enough to handle. Don't wait for them to get bigger. They will use up all the nutrients in the compost quite quickly and growth will slow down. Encourage strong healthy plants by giving them more food and more space as soon as they need it. If you didn't quite mange to sow all the tomato, pepper and chilli seeds you planned to in February, continue with this in March. They will catch up. French beans and runner beans can be direct sown from now until July. Make sure you give climbing beans good strong supports. Get the poles as deep into the ground as you can. There's nothing worse than the sight of those lovely beans blown over into a big heap on a windy day. Pumpkins and courgettes can be direct sown too, but in colder areas you might be wise to protect them from unexpected cold spells by covering them with a cloche. You can make your own inexpensive cloches by cutting a plastic water bottle in half and sitting it on top of the seedling, like a mini greenhouse. Okra and corn can also be direct sown now until May or, if you prefer, plant in seed trays first and then transplant a little later. As the potatoes you planted in February start to grow, earth them up regularly. Cover as much of the plant as you can with earth or a thick mulch of straw. Just leave a little bit of leaf sticking out the top and all the covered-over stem will revert to a root and put out more potatoes. This really increases your yield. Now that the soil is warming up and the soil microfauna is coming to life, it's a good time to feed those creatures. Add your soil amendments now. This could be compost, compost tea, liquid comfrey feed, nettle feed, seaweed, whey, worm compost...
Tip: When harvesting lettuces, cut the head off with a knife leaving the roots in the ground and a bit of stem. Soon the stump will start to sprout new leaves giving you a second harvest from your lettuce.
Reader's question: I have recently moved to Spain and am finding my gardening books a little bit incompatible with my new environment. Can you recommend any gardening books for Spain in English? Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain by Clodagh and Dick Handscombe is written in English for growers in Spain. It offers a wealth of tips and knowledge for gardens of all sizes from growing veggies in pots on a terrace to a full size finca. It has a very useful vocabulary section that translates all your favourite gardening words into Spanish. Mediterranean Kitchen Garden by Mariano Bueno, is a beautiful book, written by Spain's top organic gardener. There is an English translation. Broken down into sections on vegetables, herbs and the orchard, it is full of very useful and well laid out information.
Both of these inspiring books provide a great guide, but there is no right and wrong in gardening. Only what works and what doesn't work for you. What works for you is defined by your micro climate, your preferences, the time you have available to dedicate to your garden, your own health and fitness and the specific conditions of your site, aspect, available water, etc. Observation and commitment are your two most useful skills. It's a good idea to keep a journal. You might think you will remember everything but, you won't. It doesn't have to be hugely detailed or complicated, just jot down a few notes about your planting times, where and when compost was added, when the crop was harvested, insect damage, good harvests and bad harvests. When you go back and read it over again next year, you will start to build a picture of your garden and what works for you. It's invaluable and better than any book on gardening that you can buy. In a few years you'll have all the notes you need to write your own book!
April in the garden
April is haba time! After watching the broad beans growing since October it's finally time to eat them! It's also time to get all the summer veg in. Keep on transplanting the tomatoes, aubergines and peppers until they are big enough to go in the ground. The pumpkins, courgettes, cucumbers and melons should be ready to go in the ground by the end of the month and sweet potatoes can go in too. Corn can be direct sown, as can French beans and runner beans. Don't let the weeds get you down, try to look at them as a resource. Chickens love all those greens but if you don't have chickens, your compost pile will love them too. Try to get them out before they go to seed. In a few weeks March's deluge will be a distant memory and we'll be getting ready for the long dry summer but in April the weather can still go either way. One way to guard against drought or excessive amounts of rain that can cause soil loss, is to build your soil. Ideally, you want your soil to soak up the rain like a sponge and hold the moisture through dry spells. Top dressing your beds with a layer of compost is a great way to feed your plants, suppress weeds and over time build a healthy soil. Mulch can also be used to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Additionally, as it breaks down it adds structure to the soil. Mulch with straw, comfrey leaves, leaf mould, grass cuttings or withered weeds. Permaculture is a design approach which, like nature, uses what is available. It is a whole system approach that connects different strategies and techniques. The good folks at La Loma Viva in Gualchos are happy to invite Alex Kruger (South Africa) for the 4th year running to hold a Permaculture Design Course in May. Alex has been a permaculture designer, teacher and social activist for over 25 years and will be the lead facilitator for the PDC. Karen de Vries and Ryan Botha (the La Loma Viva team) will be sharing their knowledge as co-facilitators on the course, along with international itinerant investigator, Roman Eisenkolbl (of Soil*Sun*Soul). The PDC is an inspiring course that connects us to our world. It is a comprehensive, certified permaculture course with international recognition, providing basic skills in a vast array of subjects, to enable you to start designing a world based on the ethics of earth care and people care. Permaculture provides the tools for whole systems thinking, allowing us to understand that we are interconnected and interdependent with all of the living world. It helps us to apply these skills in all our activities and professions, to create a more regenerative way of being, that rehabilitates degraded systems in all areas of life.
TIP: Put cut nettles in a barrel and cover with water. Leave to ferment for a couple of weeks then dilute 20:1 and use as a liquid or foliar feed. High in nitrogen, it encourages leaf growth and more resilient plants.
Reader's question: How do we use wood ash to raise the fertility of our land? We have a hectare at 1350m alt above Mecina Bombarón and produce lots of ash from our wood burner. I've heard wood ash can be good for the soil- how do we use it? Jo and Jane
Wood ash is a great source of potassium, one of the three major nutrients that plants need to thrive. As well as providing vigour, it is also a flavour enhancer. Ash has an alkaline effect on the soil so acid soils can be remedied with it but be sure to use it with care if your soil has a pH of more than 6.5. It also repels maggots and can be sprinkled on and around any plants prone to insect attack. Ash can be incorporated into your soil by adding it to your compost pile or simply use it as a mulch around your plants. Cauliflowers and garlic are particularly fond of it. In October mix it with clay, lime and powdered milk and daub it on your tree trunks to protect against pests.
May in the garden
After a very unusual April, with all the wind and rain and late frost, I'm sure I'm not the only one that's totally behind with my planting schedule. It's not too late to direct sow courgettes, cucumbers and pumpkins and you can do so until the middle of this month. If summer lasts longer, like it did last year, we might have hot weather all the way to October, so those late planted summer veggies should do just fine. May is time to focus on getting everything in the ground. Get those tomato poles in nice and deep and try to keep up with pinching out the side shoots and tying the plants to the poles. French beans can be direct sown until July. They will take three months to bear fruit so plant some every month now and harvest beans until October. Okra, corn and peanuts can be direct sown and those sweet potato slips that you started growing in January can go in the ground now too. Melons and watermelons can be direct sown and the aubergine, pepper and chilli plants can be transplanted.
If you are thinking about saving some of your own seeds this year, you have a few extra things to think about. Educate yourself on what will cross pollinate with what and consider what needs to be isolated. It's also important to know where your vegetable transplants have come from. If you are planning to save seeds from organic plants from an almacen, those plants could very well be hybrids. Most of the tomatoes grown in semilleros are hybrids, even the organic range, and although the plants will perform very well, the seeds saved from these plants will not give good results.
And of course I have to mention the weeds. What perfect spring weather we've had, if we want to grow lots of weeds. Just try and keep ahead of them and don't despair. Hoe and mulch!
Tip: As garlic starts to flower, pinch out the central flower stalk and eat it as fresh garlic. Chop it finely and cook it with fish. Delicious! Some say that pinching out the central stalk makes the garlic bulbs grow fatter.
Can you advise what the best non chemical bug spray would be to use?
Soapy water works well for aphids and a garlic spray is effective against most pests. Neem is a natural insecticide and it is very effective but do bear in mind that however natural it is, it is still toxic to all insects and so will kill the good ones as well as the bad ones. Insects tend to attack sick and weak plants so before you reach for the insecticide, try feeding your soil or give your plants a foliar spray of liquid comfrey feed. If caterpillars are bothering you, you can remove them manually. They are easier to deal with at the egg stage. Look for the little clusters of yellow eggs on the underside of your leaves and gently scratch them off with your fingernail. Insect plagues are usually a sign of an imbalance in your system and you would be wise to feed the soil. Experiment with companion planting to attract predator insects and discourage pests. Chamomile attracts hoverflies and beneficial wasps, dill repels aphids and spider mites and hyssop repels flea beetles. Plant plenty of flowering herbs to attract the insects away from your vegetables and to encourage predator insects.
June in the garden
If your plants survived the late frosts, heavy rains, floods and giant hailstones that we experienced this spring, your summer garden should really be taking shape by now. As summer hots up, the garden landscape is changing as the low lying winter veg gives way to high climbing beans and tomato poles. By midsummer's day the first tomatoes should be ready to eat. Water now starts to become an issue. Unless you are lucky enough to have a plentiful supply all summer, you will be looking at ways to conserve water in the soil. If you have been adding organic matter to your beds, the rewards will really start to pay off. A soil rich in humus holds moisture like a sponge. To help prevent your soil drying out, limit bare soil by dense plantings or mulching around your plants. Compost is an ideal mulch now, straw can get very dry and blow off in the hot summer winds.
Sweetcorn, courgettes and okra and can be direct sown until the middle of the month. Plant more sweet potatoes and peanuts. Continue monthly sowings of french beans.
Everyone loves a salad in the summer but the truth is, lettuces thrive at around 18° C but will start to bolt when the temperatures get into the high 20s. The seeds won't even germinate when temperatures get over 30 degrees. Use your taller plants as shade, growing lettuces under tomatoes or on the north side of your corn patch. Try using shade cloth and keep the roots cool with frequent watering and mulch. Loose leaf lettuces and romaine varieties are more heat resistant. Plant regularly and harvest when they are small. Or why not try something totally different in your summer salads? Basil comes in many flavours or try other heat loving greens like leaf amaranth, Malabar spinach, sorrel or shiso. Some endives and chicories will also fare well in the heat.
Don't forget, gardening should be a pleasure. If you start to feel overwhelmed, reduce your growing space. If you lose control of a bed, strim it, drag a tarp over it, stop watering it and come back later when it's not so hot!
TIP: To germinate lettuces when the day and night time temperatures are high, sow seeds in pots and put in the fridge for 4 to 6 days.
READER'S QUESTION: I'm planning to go away for part of the summer. What can I do to prevent my whole garden dying while I am away? - Sian, Velez de Benaudalla
Ideally, you would really like to find someone to come round and water regularly while you are away. If you can't organise that, give your trees a good deep watering before you go and mulch heavily around the base to conserve as much moisture as you can. Consider a drip feed irrigation system with a battery operated timer. It is relatively easy to install and there is a wide range of timer controllers available with varying prices and functions. You can set the watering times and there are even some available with a light sensor that will automatically water at sunrise and sun set.
July in the garden
July is the month that really starts to reward the gardener for all their hard work. Courgettes, cucumbers, green beans and tomatoes should be abundant by now and as there's really nothing new to plant at the moment, the focus is on maintaining what you've got. It's important to harvest tomatoes, beans, melons and cucumbers regularly. Allowing fruit to go overripe and rot on the plants not only smells bad but attracts fruit flies and other pests which can get into your crop. And please pick that monster courgette! The plant will think it's achieved it's mission of making seeds to ensure the next generation and will stop putting out new flowers and concentrate all it's energy on securing those seeds in that giant fruit. Beans not only taste better when they are young and tender but must be picked to stimulate the plants to continue flowering and produce more beans. When the seeds start to form in the pods, bean plants too will concentrate on seed production and your yield will be considerably less than if you pick the beans every day or three.
In the case of basil and rocket, the leaf is the crop, so when those plants start to flower and start their seed producing mission, they will stop putting out new leaves. Pick the flowers off to prolong the harvest. When the flowering tip is pinched out, basil will put out two leading tips in it's place so you will end up with bushier more productive plants that will yield much more over a longer time. When you can no longer keep up with the plants' desire to run to seed, allow them to do so and save some seeds for next year. Bear in mind that different types of basil will cross pollinate, rampantly, because the bees love basil flowers, so if you do decide to save some seeds, make sure only one variety flowers at a time.
Tip: When pinching out your tomato side shoots, try potting a few up to produce new plants for later in the season. Tomatoes planted in August can produce fruit as late as December.
Will my tomato plants grow bigger and stronger if I take off the first flowers? - Imbal. Tablones
No, I shouldn't think so. Tomatoes will produce fruit on the lower parts of the plant first and continue to grow upwards producing fruit higher up the plant. You would be wise to pinch out the side shoots that sprout out of the axis between the main stem and the leaves. This makes the plants have a more upright and manageable form which is easier to tie to the poles. You can leave the side shoots but you will end up with wild and bushy plants that are harder to manage. You may also like to take off the lower leaves. This allows air to flow and decreases the chance of fungal diseases. The plant doesn't really need the lower leaves once the low fruit has been harvested so it's good to take off the leaves two junctions below the harvested fruit. Some growers in cooler climates strip nearly all the leaves off (leaving a few to perform photosynthesis I hope) to maximise the sun and help the fruit to ripen. This is not necessary in our hot climate and the fruit really needs the bit of shade provided by the leaves otherwise it can get sunburned. Take off any damaged or diseased leaves too and any leaves that are touching the ground, but be careful not to remove the main growing tip.
August in the garden
As the August sun beats down and both gardener and garden struggle to survive the summer heat, it's time to think about winter veg. If you want to raise your own plants to plant in Autumn, from the middle of the month it's time to sow seeds for all the winter brassicas such as kale, broccoli, cauliflowers and cabbages, as well as cool season Asian greens like pak choi, tat soi and mustards. If you have a greenhouse, it might be a good idea not to use it for these seedlings. The greenhouse tends to be very hot now and tender seedlings will at least struggle, most likely fry. Better to find a shady spot outside but you will want to raise your seed trays up off the ground to keep them away from slugs and snails. If you have a real problem with these creatures, you could consider constructing a simple frame with fly netting and an old window frame to keep them away from their favourite snack.
Nothing can beat the joy of eating fresh juicy fruits and vegetables straight from the garden. The tomatoes are divine compared to what you can buy in the shops and the experience of eating a ripe melon picked and eaten straight away is incomparable. If there are some things you didn't manage to grow this year, the next best thing is to buy locally. Not only are you supporting your local farmers, you can be sure that the produce has not had far to travel so was not harvested under-ripe and allowed to ripen up on it's way to you. Fruit and vegetables harvested in this way often lack flavour. You can also be sure there has been no long storage times and air polluting haulage. An indirect way to support your local farmers is to eat at “La Milpa” vegetarian organic cafe in the municipal market in Orgiva. Raul from Cordoba and Ivonne from Mexico cook up a seasonal feast using products from local growers as much as possible. The menu changes weekly depending on what the local growers have to offer and covers a range of salads, tropical fruits from the coast and pastry made with flour milled in the last surviving water powered mill in the Alpujarras. All the bread is baked by local bakers and juice is juiced from vegetables and fruits so fresh it's almost still alive. Drop in for a real treat!
Readers question: When I save my tomato seeds I put them on a bit of kitchen paper to dry. It's all a bit messy. When I buy tomato seeds, they come out of the packet so clean. How do the seed companies do that?
It's really very easy. When tomato seeds come out of the tomatoes, they are encased in a gelatinous sac. This is to inhibit germination as soon as the seeds hit the ground at the end of summer, helping to delay it until the more favourable conditions of spring. As gardeners, we can take those seeds and ferment them to remove the gelatinous sac, dry the seeds and store them. Do this by scraping the seeds out of the tomato into a glass and topping it up about half way with water. Give it a stir. Leave the glass on the kitchen window sill, or somewhere you can keep an eye on it. After about three days, a gloopy film will form on top of the glass. Stir, and all the good seeds will sink to the bottom of the glass. Seeds that are not viable will float. Pour of the scummy top and spread the good seeds out on a saucer to dry. In a few days when they are perfectly dry, store them in a paper envelope remembering to write the variety and year on it. When you come back to them in spring, your seeds will look just like the ones in the shop bought packets.
... is the time to start the transition from summer garden to winter garden. If you haven't got your brassica plantlets started yet, start them from seed now in pots or seed trays. Plant more lettuces and other salad leaves in seed trays too.
It's tricky at this time of year because the tomatoes, aubergines and peppers are still going strong so we don't want to clear them out just yet to make way for the winter veg so space can become an issue. Pumpkins can be harvested and stored. Peppers and tomatoes can be given a feed to encourage them to keep producing. Make the most of the abundant harvests by bottling tomatoes and making chutney. Start thinking too about where the peas, habas and garlic are going to go in October and start working towards getting those beds ready. Parsnips, radishes, spinach and coriander can all be planted now as well as carrots and potatoes. Prepare the brassica beds with manure or compost. They are heavy feeders and will appreciate plenty of organic material.
SEEeD (semillas espaňolas ecologicas en deposito) will be holding their autumn seed swap in the indoor market in Orgiva on Thursday 27th September from 10am till 2pm. The event is a great opportunity to meet other gardeners and seed savers and exchange vegetable herb, and flower seeds. There is always an array of common, rare, unusual and local varieties on offer and a wealth of information about growing methods and seed saving techniques from local growers. Bring your spare seeds along to swap and even if you don't have any seeds to swap come and see what's on offer in the seedbank. The SEEeD collection includes 300 varieties of tomatoes and 200 chilli varieties as well as unusual aubergines, pumpkins, purple carrots and leafy greens of many sorts and more. The bank strives to maintain every variety that is donated but more growers are desperately needed to grow, multiply and return seeds to the bank. If you think you may be able to take a variety or two on to grow in your garden and return seeds to the bank, then do come to the event or get in touch through the website. Seed saving is the most important task for gardeners to do now that the giant seed companies are consolidating all the small and family run seed companies into their mega corporations. An alarming number of varieties have been lost over the recent past and not only our growing choices but our food choices become narrower and narrower with every company take over. Many varieties that were previously commercially available get dropped from the European seed list as companies concentrate their efforts on the most profitable varieties. These are geared towards industrial farming methods and the old favourite garden varieties get lost. You can help your local seedbank to save our indigenous varieties.
Tip: Dig fish heads and skins into your cabbage beds for really giant heads.
Reader's Question: Last year I saved some seeds from my climbing French beans. When I went to plant them in Spring, they were full of holes and there were dead weevils in the envelope. How can I prevent this from happening again this year?
Bean weevils lay their eggs in the bean flowers and immature pods.That's why you don't see them when you harvest your bean seeds. They actually mature inside the bean and then eat their way out. You really don't want these little creatures in your seed store, they can devastate your collection. The best way to deal with them is to freeze all your pea, bean and okra seeds before you store them. The seeds must be fully dry before you freeze them or the germ will die. To check if they are dry enough, hit one seed with a hammer. If it squashes, it's not dry enough. If it shatters, it's good, so freeze the rest for 5 days or a week.
... always feels like a new beginning in the garden. The high maintenance, highly productive plants like tomatoes and aubergines are mostly out of the ground and we can say goodbye to the intensity of daily harvesting and processing. It feels good to take out all the tomato poles and clear away the old pumpkin vines. Things start to look neat again!! Now it's time to settle down to the gentle flow of the winter garden. We won't be watering so much, the weeds slow down, the days are shorter and everything just grows much more slowly. Now is a great time for salads. Lettuces, rocket, pak choi and mustards will all be happy in the cooler temperatures and give a spicy, warming winter mix. Coriander tends to do pretty well now too. Radishes, carrots, beetroots and parsnips can all be direct sown from seed.
Keep on planting all those brassicas you've been rearing; kale, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower. It's not too late to sow more in seed trays if you don't have enough plants. Broad beans, garlic and potatoes can be planted now too. So can onion and leek plantlets. Peas and mange tout planted now will be ready to harvest in spring. Asparagus can be planted now. It's a good time to give the strawberry patch a weed and tidy up. All the suckers should be removed. These can be planted up in pots to raise new plants. It's a good idea to gradually replace your old plants. They will remain productive for about 5 years but production will slow down after 3 years. Any spare plants can be given away or swapped.
Tip: Sow companion plants such as marigolds and nasturtiums near your brassica patch to deter cabbage pests.
Reader's question: Last year my brassica plants went all mushy and smelly in the middle. I ended up pulling them all out. What was it and how can I prevent it from happening again this year?
I too have experienced this. I believe it to be swede midge, coupled with bacterial soft rot. Bacterial soft rot is a “secondary invader” that gets into the plant tissue after the swede midge has created a wound. The swede midge is a tiny (1.5 - 2mm) tan coloured fly. To the naked eye it looks much like any other garden midge. The female lays clusters of eggs in the youngest, tenderest plant tissue it can find, preferring brassicas, and usually in the growing tip. The larvae are 0.3mm long when they hatch. They will feed in groups until they mature (in 7 – 21 days) when they will measure 3-4mm and be yellow in colour so by now you should be able to see them.
The larvae feed on newly emerging leaf bases and flower buds. They secrete a digestive fluid that breaks down the plant cuticle and causes twisting and curling of leaves and swollen leaf stems. This damage presents an opportunity for the bacteria that cause soft rot to enter the plant tissue and that is when you start to notice the putrefaction and the unpleasant smell. So what can you do? My brassica patch has suffered from this in the past. Even though the crowns get eaten, some plants will survive and go on to produce. Cauliflowers may produce four small heads rather than one big one. I covered my rows of young plants with agricultural fleece until they were well established last year and didn't have any trouble at all. A favourite remedy in my area is to sprinkle wood ash over the plants. This seems to be quite successful.The swede midge larvae will pupate in the soil and can carry over to the following year. For this reason, crop rotation is very important.
It's November and winter is on its way. If you haven't dug your sweet potatoes up, then do so now. They will turn to mush at the first frost. Habas (broad beans) can still be direct sown, as can carrots, radishes, parsnips, beetroot, garlic and spinach. If you have any empty beds, consider planting oats or field beans as a green manure. Cut them down in spring just before they flower to give those beds a big dose of nitrogen for your spring plantings. Keep on planting out your brassica seedlings and if you are short of plants it's not too late to sow some more from seed.
Lettuces can be direct sown or sown in seed trays as well as all your asian greens, coriander, rocket and mustards. Have a good tidy up now and put all your old finished summer plants in the compost heap. Don't leave plant residues lying around the garden to provide a habitat for snails and other garden pests. If you mulch it's a good idea to take the mulch away now, as this too provides a nice warm bed for snails. Weeds will slow right down now so you don't really need to be suppressing them and your plants will benefit from the warmth the soil will take in if it is exposed to the sun. Sort out your tomato and bean poles. Put all the old broken ones in the burning pile and keep any good ones that you can use again next year up off the ground and out of the rain if you can.
You may still have a few stragglers producing tomatoes.Take all the brown leaves off the plants and clean up around the base of the plants. There will be more chance of the fruit ripening if the soil has the chance to warm up in the sun. Although aubergines, chillies and peppers are grown as annuals in the northern hemisphere they are actually perennials in their native climates. These plants can survive the winter if it is relatively frost free. If you have any plants that you are particularly fond of, try cutting them back to about a third and if the winter is not too cold they will sprout new leaves in the spring and fruit long before any plants raised from seed next year. If the winter does turn very cold, you can try a thick mulch to protect from the frost, although take it off again when it's warmer and sunny. You could also try covering the plants with agricultural fleece during the coldest spells. If you have a really great chilli that you don't want to lose, dig it up, put it in a pot, cut it back quite hard and take it inside or into the greenhouse for the winter. You can plant it out again in the spring.
TIP: November is a good month to spread manure around fruit trees.
Reader's question: I have grown lemon grass and turmeric very successfully this year. Will they survive the winter?
Both lemongrass and turmeric will go dormant over the winter. The turmeric leaves will disappear altogether and the lemon grass will turn brown and look dead. The turmeric will reappear in late spring but it is a good idea to mark the spot so you don't forget where it is. If you have a lot of frost in your area you would be wise to pile quite a bit of mulch on top to protect the tubers from frost. The lemon grass can be divided and replanted. It does look quite messy and well, dead, over the winter but it will suddenly turn all lush and green again in early summer. You will be amazed at how quickly it turns into a big clump. If you divide it now you will have more smaller plants next year that are easier to manage. You can also plant some in pots for insurance or to give away or swap. Each stalk, planted with a little bit of root left on, will eventually turn into a giant plant.
If you timed it right you'll be lucky enough to have your own parsnips for Christmas dinner. You should also to be able to roast your own potatoes and eat your own brussels sprouts and kale. If those August plantings worked out, you'll have your own tomatoes too, for the starter. The last winter sowings of habas, peas and garlic can be made now. Radish and spinach can go in too as well as winter salad crops such as rocket, lettuce and Asian greens.
With Christmas looming, now is a really good time to review your garden tools. A maintenance session to oil wooden handles, sharpen blades and do a general check of the condition of your tools will reveal what you are lacking,what needs to be replaced and give you some good ideas to put on your list for Santa. The end of the year is also a good time to look over the successes and failures of the last year and make a plan for the coming year. This of course will involve looking through your seed stocks. Yet more ideas for Christmas presents!
With so many catalogues available online making seed purchases is very easy. You can buy lovely presents for your friends and family. Even if they don't have a garden, or any interest in having one, why not buy them something to grow on their windowsill? Basil, chives or parsley are commonly bought in little pots in supermarkets. Wouldn't your loved-ones like to grow their own? There are many small ecological seed companies online who really need support to keep the ethical seed trade alive. Try the The Real Seed Company in Wales (http://www.realseeds.co.uk) or plantaromed in Málaga (http://www.plantaromed.com).
Christmas is becoming more and more commercial and disposable, so why not give a present that produces something? Seeds already come in a lovely package so there's no need for wrapping paper and they are light and cheap to post.
Tip: Giving brassicas a nettle feed will deter white flies.
Reader's question: With the olive season coming up we will have lots of brush to process. Burning, although quick and effective, seems a waste of resources. How else can we get rid of such a large quantity of brush?
Processing the olive prunings is a huge task every year. Goats love olive leaf and, if you know some, they would happily dispose of your leaf for you. You can either transport the prunings to a local goat herder or bring the goats to the prunings. If you bring the goats to the prunings, you will be left with the branches. These still need to be processed and can be chopped up for kindling if you have a wood burner. If you have a lot of prunings, this is a soul destroying task and how much kindling do you need? At this stage getting hold of a shredder or wood-chipper would be very useful. Ask around your neighbours or see if there is one available to rent or borrow, before you consider buying one. It's good to use one before you make the commitment to buy a large and possibly expensive piece of kit. The smaller ones are generally harder to use and the job takes longer. Big ones go through the sticks like butter but are very expensive.
Another option would be to build a hugel bed. “Hugel” culture means hill culture and is a system where branches, logs, leaves and any other biodegradable matter is heaped into a mound and covered with soil. Your veggies are then planted on top of the mound. The gradual decay of the wood provides nutrients for many years and also provides heat to the bed. The large volume of decaying matter also holds the moisture in the soil and there is much less need to water. Altogether a great way to use those prunings. | <urn:uuid:527dd03c-b8d9-436e-a231-0d158d2aceb6> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://seeed.es/this-month-in-the-garden/sentinella2018 | 2021-12-04T11:30:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362969.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204094103-20211204124103-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.958907 | 9,568 | [

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, if the NFL Players Association ratifies a collective bargaining agreement with the owners on Monday, NFL teams would be able to re-sign their own free agents as early as this afternoon.
Schefter's timeline also has teams being able to discuss trade parameters and negotiate with other team's free agents (restricted, unrestricted) this afternoon, though trades would not be official until Saturday, July 30.
Teams would be able to sign other team's free agents beginning at 12pm ET on Tuesday, July 26, but those contracts would not become official until the 2011 league year begins at 4pm ET on August 2, eight days after the NFLPA will have ratified the CBA and potentially up to seven days after a player and his new team agree to terms.
Members of the NFLPA Executive Committee were scheduled to meet at 9am ET on Monday, though Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports that a final document is not expected to be ready for the committee to vote on until late Monday morning. Once the committee recommends the agreement and recertification of the union, the 32 player representatives will vote on the same issues via conference call, turning the matter over to the ten plaintiffs in the Brady v NFL antitrust lawsuit. | <urn:uuid:505cc22f-f1d5-452b-9c53-fc4344612ec1> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.sbnation.com/2011/7/25/2292119/nfl-lockout-free-agents | 2021-12-04T11:51:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362969.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204094103-20211204124103-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.970306 | 253 | [

For the fourth year running, fantasy series Game of Thrones has topped a list of the most pirated TV shows.
According to Torrentfreak, the season five finale was illegally downloaded 14.4m times. More than half of those came in the week after its US premiere.
The Walking Dead and The Big Bang Theory were also in the top three, with 6.6m and 4.4m downloads respectively.
Earlier this year, Game of Thrones broke a record when more than 258,000 users shared the show simultaneously.
The number of illegal downloads for the HBO drama is almost double the eight million people who regularly watch the show legally in the US.
The first four episodes of season five leaked online before they aired in April, after one pirate uploaded content from the DVD screeners sent out to critics for review.
Game of Thrones was nominated for 24 Emmy Awards in July and, earlier this month, was nominated for the Golden Globe for best drama series.
Series six is due to begin in April. | <urn:uuid:de4d6334-dfd3-4cf3-bba5-d2ac152d5cea> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35189131 | 2021-12-07T17:00:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363400.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207140255-20211207170255-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.971097 | 208 | [

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King applauded yesterday's decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce, which confirmed that Catalyst Paper received a negligible amount of subsidies during the review period. Catalyst Paper will now be excluded from the countervailing duty order on supercalendered paper.
In December 2015, countervailing duty orders were issued on supercalendered paper imports from Canada. During the course of the investigation, however, the Department of Commerce chose to investigate only two producers – Port Hawkesbury Paper and Resolute. As a result, the remaining two Canadian producers, Catalyst and J.D. Irving, were assigned duties based upon the subsidies provided to Port Hawkesbury and Resolute and not on subsidies, if any, received by Catalyst and Irving. Together, both companies employ more than 1,000 men and women in Maine.
“This decision by the Department of Commerce is great news for the hardworking Catalyst employees who were unfairly affected by the arbitrary duties that were imposed without determining whether the company was receiving subsidies,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “We strongly advocated for an expedited review of Catalyst to ensure that they received an independent examination. We will continue to press the Department of Commerce to complete a fair and fact-based investigation of Irving to which it is entitled.”
In 2015, Senators Collins and King raised concerns directly with then-Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker regarding the failure to independently investigate Catalyst and Irving and how this could negatively affect the companies’ Maine employees. | <urn:uuid:8387b354-5ff7-4bcd-8ccb-244ba91bd37d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.collins.senate.gov/newsroom/senators-collins-king%E2%80%99s-statement-department-commerce%E2%80%99s-favorable-catalyst-ruling | 2021-12-07T15:15:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363400.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207140255-20211207170255-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.969709 | 323 | [

Ahhh...the memories. When eating out was a thing in the early 2020, late 2019s. Back when dining in restaurants was allowed here, I don't think that I ate out that much but I did order at least 1-2 meals per week. My friends and I would have an early morning breakfast gathering for around $2… Continue reading Eating Out VS Cooking at Home
One of the things I enjoy the most about living here in Yangon is probably the fact that food is so inexpensive. For the most part, if you stick with buying produce that are local or in season, it is pretty cheap. The more westernized the food product, the more expensive it is. Here are… Continue reading Cheap Eats and Why I Don’t Cook Much These Days
These past two weeks I got to do a bit of travel for work and the food was so amazing. Here is but a sampling. Myanmar foods have some interesting smells but always contain some green vegetables, pickled items, curried meats, rice and noodles. It's a mashup of Chinese, Indian and Thai influence.

Now your food could genuinely be better than theirs but now they're eating their food… Continue reading Comparison is the thief of joy… | <urn:uuid:2874a655-7afe-490b-8fd5-31c58253a14d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://lifeofneu.com/tag/food/ | 2021-12-09T07:36:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363689.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20211209061259-20211209091259-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.978631 | 380 | [

John Michael Osbourne, better known by his stage name, Ozzy Osbourne, is an English singer/songwriter and musician. He first became famous as the lead singer for heavy metal band, Black Sabbath. The artist is credited for being one of the forefathers of the heavy metal genre. During his career, which has lasted over 40 years and continues, one thing that has changed little is the Ozzy Osbourne long hairstyle.
Ozzy Osbourne hairstyle.
Ozzy Osbourne long hairstyle.
From the beginning of his career, Ozzy has worn his hair a few inches longer than shoulder length. In the late sixties and early seventies, this hairstyle was not popular on men at all and was seen as an act of complete rebellion against authority. Many thought wearing longer hair meant that a man was effeminate, but this was far from the case with the star.
Ozzy Osbourne long straight hairstyle.
This is one of the simplest longer hairstyles to achieve. It is simply parted in the middle and brushed to each side so that his face is uncovered. Most of the time, it appears that he has used an iron on it to make it straighter. This makes it seem to just hang limply.
Ozzy Osbourne long hair.
When left alone, his hair has some body and takes on some waves through about half its length. This actually looks more alive than the straight, limp look. However, it is difficult to maintain because hair this length becomes tangled very easily. Therefore, he must spend a good deal of time brushing his hair or having it brushed in order to maintain his appearance.
The Ozzy Osbourne hairstyle has changed very little since he began performing with Black Sabbath. What has changed is the way the world views men with long hair. What was considered a sign of being effeminate and rebellious to an extreme back then is now widely accepted, especially on men in the music industry. | <urn:uuid:50c32982-565d-44ba-9a53-1841958a9026> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://coolmenshair.com/ozzy-osbourne-long-hairstyles/ | 2021-12-03T04:18:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362589.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203030522-20211203060522-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.989812 | 404 | [

Test post after a long while..
Test post after a long while..
Disclaimer: This is a re-post of
Copying to here for reference and also a backup in case MS removed the link above.
The info below was meant for Windows Vista. But still applies to Windows 7 and to some extend to Windows 8+.
“So I’ve talked a bit about some of the details of the Vista audio architecture, but I figure a picture’s worth a bunch of text, so here’s a simple version of the audio architecture:
This picture is for “shared” mode, I’ll talk about exclusive mode in a future post.
The picture looks complicated, but in reality it isn’t. There are a boatload of new constructs to discuss here, so bear with me a bit.
The flow of audio samples through the audio engine is represented by the arrows – data flows from the application, to the right in this example.
The first thing to notice is that once the audio leaves the application, it flows through a very simple graph – the topology is quite straightforward, but it’s a graph nonetheless, and I tend to refer to samples as moving through the graph.
Starting from the left, the audio system introduces the concept of an “audio session”. An audio session is essentially a container for audio streams, in general there is only one session per process, although this isn’t strictly true.
Next, we have the application that’s playing audio. The application (using WASAPI) renders audio to a “Cross Process Transport”. The CPT’s job is to get the audio samples to the audio engine running in the Windows Audio service.
In general, the terminal nodes in the graph are transports, there are three transports that ship with Vista, the cross process transport I mentioned above, a “Kernel Streaming” transport (used for rendering audio to a local audio adapter), and an “RDP Transport” (used for rendering audio over a Remote Desktop Connection).
As the audio samples flow from the cross process transport to the kernel streaming transport, they pass through a series of Audio Processing Objects, or APOs. APOs are used to provide DSP on the audio samples. Some examples of the APOs shipped in Vista are:
All of the code above runs in user mode except for the audio driver at the very end.”
Presented by The 4th Wall Theatre Co
Composer / Arranger / Musical Director
22 May – 19 July 2015
My second kid was born weeks ago. It’s like reset button been pressed. I was sent back again to the life changing experience when my first kid was born. I have not stepped in any performance venue for a month before I was invited to the newly restored Capitol theatre for the musical, Singapura.
“Singapura: The Musical takes the audience through a journey of love, hope, and new beginnings while exploring the strength of the human spirit during the formative years of Singapore’s history from 1955 to 1965. Through the eyes of ordinary men and women…Their passion and drive sees them dreaming, hoping and creating – against all odds – a place where they can truly call home.”
The music used in musical is mixed from fast paced songs, light hearted tunes and touching melodies. Some of the lyrics were adapted from Singapore historical lines. It may remind you about the secondary school history class. The same text could be seen as dramatic for audiences in other parts of the world.
The singing is certainly more than satisfying. The cast should be given credit. It’s not easy to sing while managing themselves in the fast paced acting. The orchestration were kept simple as the pit size allows only a small ensemble. It would be great to hear a more full body orchestration. Still the musicians did a good job for the show. To me, live music is always better than pre-recorded playback in the theatre.
I really enjoy those slower paced songs, e.g. “The Home I knew”, “Remember” and “Something About You”. Maybe more are needed to re-calibrate the whole dynamic and to relax the audiences in between the tumultuous scenes. In fact, for any musical, most audiences only remember the slow songs. It might also be helpful to cut back on words and narratives to distant itself from being a bit documentary. On the other hand, allocating more developments on the personal touch around the characters. This would also allow the audiences more time to think and reflect on the story.
Through the production you can probably hear and see the influence from Les Miserable and Moulin Rouge. Mind you, the former musical received negative reviews when first premiered in London, “a witless and synthetic entertainment”.
The Stage & Lighting
The stage setting was constrained by the small space, yet quite effective. The use of the LED projection set the necessary backgrounds. The three storey structure was also put to good use through the show. I like the way it was managed in the scene of Lee May and Flynn’s separation and also the scene of the mother’s death. The best is the lovely authentic Kopitiam setup. This alone means a lot to the people who lived through the era.
The lighting was general good, like the starry night scene with Lee May and Flynn. During certain scenes, the lighting might be a bit cold and casted a depression feel. A bit warmer and nostalgic feel might bring the some comfy to the audiences. I’m sure they badly need it after following through the turbulence.
The Capitol Theatre was an iconic building. The restored one is no less so. For performers, new venues are always exciting and challenging with all the uncertainties. This is especially true in the first few years after opening. Think of the recently restored Victoria Concert Hall, Esplanade in the early years. Not just in Singapore, the €400 million Philharmonie de Paris is going through the same right now.
I spoke with the Sound Designer Ms Emily Adam after the show. The technical glitches and challenges posed by a new theatre made her job tough for every evening even after a few runs. If time allowed, it would be great to fine tune the sound balance with different cast and musicians. As someone working for DTS, it would be wonderful to have surround and ambience to envelop the audiences even better.
The Cast and Accent
Before coming to the show, I had read many comments on these. Both drawn a lot attentions, which I fully understood.
If you had followed plays or operas, this is probably not a problem at all. Everyday there are Shakespeare performed around the world by different cast. This reminds me of the Richard III with Kevin Spacey years ago in esplanade theatre. The American accent did not make it a bad production.
Have you ever watched an Italian opera by English or German cast?
These things are pretty common around the world in the theatre business. A great work can be performed by cast from countries with different accents or even different native languages.
Would I like to see a production of this musical with more Singaporeans in the cast?
Yes. (There are 11 right now)
Is this a deciding factor to determine whether this could be great show?
Then why it became so controversial here? Perhaps, it is the title of the work plus its premiere was in Singapore, where the audiences have the authentic accent and may know the history better than the cast.
You may want to read the story behind the musical told by the composer himself. From there you will find why this production was brought by a team from Philippine.
The 4th Wall theatre is a new player in the musical scene. It may not be at the top of game to be compared with Broadway or West End. In fact, the production team is taking a great risk to produce this original musical and bring its world premiere in Singapore. They had to work with limited time, resources and unlimited challenges.
Isn’t this just like the building of Singapore? It is not perfect, but the team should be given the due credit for their job. And they are taking steps each time and in fact every evening to improve.
It is very different between reading the reviews and being part of a live performance. The difference is like reading a soccer post match analysis and being in the stadium and part of the game.
In this very special year, it makes perfect sense to immerse yourself in the history never presented in this way before. Overall I felt my two and half hours well spent. I even bought a copy of the recording as a souvenir. Certainly, I hope to catch a production of this musical again with my daughter and son many years later!
If you’d like to experience yourself, the performance is ongoing till 19 July 2015

This is backblog keeping. Just to record my personal take of the 2014 concerts/shows before it’s too late..
I attended many concerts/shows through the year. Most are good (e.g. many concerts by Singapore Symphony Orchestra ). Some are exceptional or much better than what I had expected.
The second night of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in the Esplanade.
World class orchestra playing on form.
Orchestra of the Music Makers playing “Planets” in the Esplanade
This was my first time hearing “Planets” live. The orchestra simply out did themselves again. I really look forward to their Mahler symphony No.8 concert this year.
A Dream Like A Dream in Esplanade theater
This play changed the definition of a play to me, full stop.
Cameron Carpenter organ recital in Segerstrom Concert Hall, Orange County, CA, US.
Before the concert, the only thing I knew about him was his almost rebellious dress as an organist. However the way he talked about music in the concert was so sincere and way better than many other organists I heard.
Good or bad is subjective. But some are simply disappointing.
Hype and hype before the start of the poor-line-upped, inaugural Singapore International Arts Festival (SIFA). The musicians from the Singapore Symphony Orchestra had actually done a good job. Unfortunately that’s not enough from saving a disappointing show.
This poorly staged opera tried so hard to present some idea that was much better presented a hundred times in novels, films, etc.. I really regret wasting my time in the otherwise lovely cozy newly renovated Victoria theater.
First night of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) at the Esplanade
The orchestra just sounded jet lag. An average form SSO would play better than the LSO on that night.
The Mixed Bag
Jordi Savall: Jerusalem
Great music making for sure. Exceptional programme and presentation. However, the use of loudspeaker killed the pure beauty of acoustic experience. Did the organizer know that the Esplanade concert hall is capable of producing a better experience?
Israel Philharmonic performing in Marina Bay Sands MasterCard Theatres.
Normally I would not comment on concerts I didn’t attend. But this one is out right kidding.
The organizer put an excellent orchestra into a good example of failed acoustic venue in a glittering shopping mall. What a waste! I am so glad I didn’t purchase myself a ticket to regret.
My five and half years quad core desktop started giving me a lot of disk errors in the last year.
It was like once a month in the beginning till unbearable once a week.
Some times the harddisk just disappear from the system.
I got A disk read error occurred error when I restarted it. Harddisk SMART Status may show BAD.
I changed the SATA cable. Didn’t help. Suspect it was my harddisk.
Took the oppotunity to upgrade to a new SSD. Didn’t help either.
Did almost all solutions mentioned in this post, no success.
Until recently I realize it might be the SATA socket on the motherboard.
After a few swaps, I found two SATA sockets on my motherboard had gone bad.
Currently my SSD stays stable on SATA 3 on the board for more than a month. Hope it can keep strong until Intel produce something worth upgrading.
With the closing down of HMV@313 Someset, I no longer visit any local store for classical music recordings. Instead I now fully rely on online store for physical release, spotify for streaming and of course live concerts for the real thing. I’m not a fan for download.
Just to share my experience on shopping/collecting classical music. I purchase most of my recordings from following sites:
The above three sites have the best shipping rate to Singapore.
Occasionally I would also buy from
For physical stores, you can also try shops in Adelphi, there are a few that carry oops release at reasonable price. These shops are serving towards the “audiophile” crowd. I seldom visit for classical new release.
Besides HMV@Marina Square (Update 2015, closed). The other surviving chain store is That CD shop.
In fact it was transformed to focus on cafe more than on CD. I haven’t tried their food. Maybe next time, as I guess their cafes have a much higher chance surviving than the CD outlets.
Physical recordings have become collection item rather than the main stream music carrier. Nothing wrong with it. You just need to know the trade off.
Update: That CD shop in Raffles City closed. Check their facebook for the latest branch info.
2. 安装 2 Battery 或者 JuiceDefender, 这两个app能阻止其他app后台一直连接数据。
Android 系统支持完全的多任务，后台app可以用wakelock来推迟CPU进入深度睡眠，来完成一些任务。如果app设计得当，完全没问题。但是一些垃圾app, 有事没事发wakelock。你想象一下，半夜每几分钟被人推醒一次的感受。
微信因为某些原因，采取了令人发指的后台自启动，唤醒CPU设计。即使把所有更新都关掉也一样。不管你有没有root，安装 BetterBatteryStatus 或者 Wakelock Detector，你就可以看到微信WeChat的唤醒次数。
于是我用Advanced Task Manager 每10分钟杀一次WeChat进程。实际上每次杀WeChat，它会自启动，所以必须反复杀。但间隔太短也不行，毕竟杀进程本身就要占用CPU。 | <urn:uuid:a4ffcdc5-abdf-4a39-bd95-d1d42bb585c1> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://liangvincentwang.com/ | 2021-12-04T16:55:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362999.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204154554-20211204184554-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.924763 | 4,887 | [

Flat feet can truly be a nuisance as they’re not allowing you to move freely. Things such as family history of flat feet, nerve damage, arthritis, and weak arches can be causes of the flat feet. Also, certain health problems such as obesity and diabetes can also lead to flat feet. Another important factor that can have adverse effects on the health of the feet is bad footwear that doesn’t have correct support. Flat shoes and high heels can not only be uncomfortable but also cause the pain in the feet and the back. Running and working out can be challenging and painful for people with flat feet which is why shoes for flat feet have entered the market.
Why you need cross trainers for flat feet
Luckily, there are a lot of options when looking for cross trainers for flat feet. When you’re cross-training, you have to be ready and equipped for many different activities. The shoes need to be durable, stable, comfortable and have proper foot support. Whether you’re jumping, lifting, running or walking, you need proper support in order to feel comfortable.
During cross training, many people with flat feet can experience pain in the feet, mostly in the heel. The bottom region of the feet can become swollen, and foot movement can become slower and more difficult after a long run. That’s why a special type of shoe is necessary. What makes the cross training shoes even more interesting is that one pair of shoes need to be equally supportive during different types of exercises. They need to provide enough stability for both, your feet and ankles, and help with lateral movement.
What to look for in the shoes
The shoes need to be light, like any other training shoes and make sure that there is enough cushioning across the entire foot. This way the shoes help distribute the weight evenly and reduce the pressure on a specific point of the feet. The flexibility of the shoes allows for easier and faster movement. Strong arch support, shock absorption and cushioning, and a strong midsole saddle will make sure that you’re getting the support you need, and that you feel comfortable by eliminating pain.
There are numerous high-quality shoes, such as ASICS Men’s Gel-Venture 6 Running Shoe, that can provide the necessary help and support throughout the whole day both inside, and outside. They provide fantastic shock absorption and have a pleasant, breathable material. In this shoe, you can count on your feet to stay dry.
Nike also has some good shoes for flat feet such as Nike Free Trainer 5.0 V6. Good cushioning and high stability allow you to move a lot and lift weights for hours without the feeling of discomfort. They are also very light and durable enabling you do use them for months without them losing their shape or becoming worn out.
Many people use additional support in their shoes in order to relieve or prevent pain or make the shoes more comfortable. Buying a proper pair of cross-training shoes can cancel the need to use additional support and can be more than enough to get you through the day and the workout. | <urn:uuid:2b57c54c-b1c7-4754-bf5e-c2f3f1f55be4> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.opptrends.com/how-can-cross-trainers-for-flat-feet-help-you/ | 2021-12-04T15:51:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362999.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204154554-20211204184554-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.961259 | 634 | [

Switching from the corporate sector to work for a not-for-profit could be the best move you ever make to rejuvenate your career and values. But it comes with a warning: you could be in for a culture shock.
After conquering the corporate world, the prospect of a community job can be inspiring – it’s the chance to make a positive impact, give something back and feel a warm glow.
However, not-for profit workplaces can be considerably different to the business world. It is not just like moving suburb, it can be more like moving to a different country where the language and culture is completely foreign.
This shouldn’t discourage anyone who’s drawn into the sector through exposure to a particular health condition, through a social or environmental issue that is close to them or simply via a personal awakening.
But before opening the door to a not-for-profit career, be prepared for these cultural differences:
1. Decisions are made gently, not swiftly
Corporate managers are used to being entrusted with key decisions knowing that they bear the responsibility for the consequences, whereas, in (some) not-for-profit settings the decision-making can be frustratingly slow with a myriad of stakeholders and multiple layers of discussion and approvals.
2. Dealing with community expectations
Working for a charity involves a public relations challenge. Being able to persuade people to support your organisation and donate to it is a test for anyone’s leadership and communication skills. But it’s also a great chance to have a good reason to build relationships with government, corporate and community leaders.
3. Multiple measures of success
In the business world there’s usually only one bottom line: the bottom line. In the NFP world, the bottom line is usually complex and multidimensional; sometimes the goals are quite broad and based around objectives that can be hard or even impossible to measure.
4. (Possible) lower pay – a badge of honour
Don’t assume the pay will be lower than in the business world – but it is widely understood that money is not the only motivation. The privilege of being paid to work in a purposeful role is often seen as part of the reward.
5. Passionate but non-aggressive culture
The people are dedicated and passionate as they are working for something they believe in. However, a consensus-driven culture can be relatively passive and takes time to adjust to for anyone coming from an aggressive, for-profit workplace.
6. Resource constrained environment
Leave behind the corporate mantra of ‘spend money to make money’ because a culture of ‘scrimping and saving’ on every cost is the default approach in most not-for-profits.
7. Process-oriented people
Innovators and creative people may clash with process-oriented managers who tend to resist change. Watch out for this dynamic in organisations that rely heavily on government funding.
8. Salary sacrifice and flexible hours
NFP organisations have access to salary sacrifice a broader range of everyday expenses and they are often way ahead of their corporate colleagues in job sharing, working from home, leaves of absence, and flexible hours.
9. Stressful workloads
Side by side with flexible hours can sit heavy work loads. Because most organisations are tackling huge problems with (usually) scarce resources there is commonly more to do than there are people and resources to work with, and it can feel like the job is never finished.
10. Openness and consultation
Especially in smaller community organisations, managers and leaders are expected to be extremely open and consultative. If you’re used to top-down decision-making, it can be surprising how much weight a single member or volunteer opinion may carry.
An ethical career path can end up being the best career move you ever make, but make sure you go in with your eyes open by understanding the rewards and accepting the trade-offs. | <urn:uuid:e181eb48-956f-43e2-941b-271a7962c74b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.ethicaljobs.com.au/blog/ready-to-switch-to-a-not-for-profit-job-read-this-checklist-first | 2021-12-06T08:30:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363290.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206072825-20211206102825-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.946894 | 813 | [

In this issue: China in the Canadian election, Lessons from Australia on diversification, CWF’s Belt and Road Monitor
The China Brief team is back, and ready for a busy fall tracking developments on the China and Western Canada front. As noted in the previous edition, there are some changes in store for the China Brief. We will move to a once-a-month publishing schedule with a more focused look at the issues. Also, we’re excited to introduce a new feature, the Belt and Road Monitor, which will be included in each edition. We look forward to your feedback as we continue to fine tune the monitor in upcoming editions.
China in the Canadian election
In advance of the September 20 federal election, the China Brief reviewed each of the major federal party platforms for references to China. In terms of direct mentions of China in their published platforms, the Green Party of Canada platform had no mentions, the Liberal Party of Canada platform had one, the New Democratic Party of Canada (NDP) platform had four, and the Conservative Party of Canada platform had 31.
There were some points directly related to China trade and investment but nothing specifically related to Western Canadian interests. Any direct or indirect commitment on China will also face geopolitical challenges. The South China Morning Post has summed up the thoughts of Canadian political observers in regards to the two frontrunner parties: “there would be little room for either the Tories or the ruling Liberal Party to chart their own course on China, whichever wins the September 20 election. Ottawa would remain beholden to how the broader China-US relationship played out.”
Lessons from Australia on diversification
The Australia China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney released a report entitled Australia’s export exposure to China: Assessing the costs of disruption. For those looking at whether to diversify Canada’s supply chains from China, there are some key points of interest.
- “[M]any business owners were able to secure premium prices in the PRC for an extended period, and when this opportunity closed, they quickly and successfully pivoted to alternative markets.”
- “[M]arket access is revealed to be a weak coercive tool for Beijing. This means what the PRC may hope to achieve by disrupting trade is not the same as what it is likely to achieve.”
- “There is a case for government to invest in ‘collective action’ pushback against Beijing’s economic coercion but if the point is to get the PRC to ‘play by the rules’ and to expand the range of activities covered by these rules, narrow coalitions offer little positive return compared with multilateral institutions like the World Trade Organization (WTO) that have broad legitimacy.”
The report also notes that “[I]n the medium and long-term, there is the prospect of costs increasing” as borders reopen post-COVID or China finds “alternative suppliers for big-ticket items like iron ore.”
China’s pork market problems
As both domestic prices and demand fell, Chinese pork imports decreased 9 per cent in August. NBC reports that the fall has caused havoc for domestic producers, causing the government to open reserves to stabilize and ask the public consume more pork. Chinese fish prices may also push the public to make the switch to pork. A Reuters article, in the Financial Post, says the prices could “prop up the pork market and cool fish’s momentum.”
Meanwhile, a Shanghai-based start-up working on lab-grown pork invited investors to sample dishes of one of the prototypes produced in its lab. CellX aims to enter the Chinese market in 2025 with the goal “to produce the more environmentally friendly meat at competitive prices for the world’s top meat-eating nation by 2025,” according to this Reuters story.
A recent talk from the Australian Grains Industry Conference 2021 sheds some light on the short-term outlook for the Chinese pork industry and what this outlook means for feed imports. Joe Lardy, CHS Global Research analyst, shared his views on how China’s pork industry should stabilize in 2022, how African Swine Fever (ASF) has changed the industry from rural farms to industrialized pork hotels, and what these changes will mean for feed imports. Read the full summary here.
Brazil, China, Canada and beef
Reuters reports that China has halted beef imports from Brazil after two cases of atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) were reported at two separate facilities. Trade is expected to resume shortly according to another Reuters report and so it is unclear how much shortfall other exporters, such as Canada, can expect to make up. Given how rapidly Brazil and China have been able to resolve ag disputes in the past, there is positive news for Canadian beef exporters to Singapore as the country has approved all Canadian beef exports “including offal, with no age restrictions.”
Shipping concerns continue
The Burnaby Board of Trade asked Transport Canada to investigate the rapid increase in Chinese shipping container costs. According to a CBC article, container costs were $4,000 in January, $12,500 in August and now up to $18,000. In response to CBC News, Transport Canada said “[t]he COVID-19 pandemic has had a notable impact on global supply chains. The combination of very high demand and capacity constraints have, accordingly, impacted freight rates.”
A previous China Brief included a story that said by Christmas the pressures should ease. However, front line industry experts now say the impacts will last “well into 2022” according to a Bloomberg News article. China’s busiest port in Shanghai as well as two ports in Zhejiang province were closed this week due to Typhoon Chanthu. The closures are expected to compound the pressures already felt in global supply chains.
Despite the concerns, Chinese trade was up from July to August 2021 in terms of both imports (+25.6 per cent) and exports (+33.1%).
In other news:
- To mark 1000 days since Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were detained and held hostage in China, their families organized a protest march in Ottawa. Spavor was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison by a Chinese court.
- Chinese tech companies Alibaba, Ten Cent and others have committed to provide funds for President Xi’s common prosperity initiative. Xi has described the initiative as a way “to reduce the social inequality and wealth gap in the country.” Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) takes a closer look at the initiative in this article.
- The Chinese government has restricted the amount of time those under 18 can spend playing video games – only an hour each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As part of the restrictions, the government has asked streaming companies to discuss restrictions for minors and has also slowed approval of online games.
- The Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI) has approached the International Energy Agency (IEA) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to have palm oil recognized as biofuel; the EU has so far refused to approve palm oil due to concerns over sustainability and deforestation. GAPKI has recently seen increased palm oil exports to China due to a China-US palm oil trade war and the pandemic.
- China has fined Canadian company Canada Goose over advertising claims as the company says that the goose down comes from Hutterite colonies. However, the Chinese government contends that the down comes from other sources.
CWF’s Belt and Road Monitor
China’s multibillion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the state-backed global infrastructure development strategy, has the potential to enormously shift global trade through new levels of infrastructure and supply chain integration, in the Asia-Pacific region as well as globally. These shifts has the potential to alter global markets for Western Canadian-produced commodities. As part of Canada West Foundation’s efforts to track the Belt and Road Initiative and what it means for Western Canada, the China Brief will now include a section with relevant BRI developments. We welcome feedback as we continue to develop this new feature.
Of general interest on how the BRI is developing: At the sixth annual Belt and Road Initiative Conference, officials announced that China would support Hong Kong in its efforts to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Officials also announced that Hong Kong and Chinese officials have signed a Memorandum of Understanding related to the Belt and Road Initiative’s Economic and Trade Co-operation Zones (ETCZs). Under the MOU, both sides will do work to promote ETCZs overseas and help develop them. The summit also highlighted steps to support the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area under the Greater Bay Area Outline Development Plan. “The Greater Bay Area’s combined economic output stood at US$1.67 trillion at the end of December last year, which would have made it the world’s ninth largest economy if it was a stand-alone entity ahead of Canada and South Korea and just behind of Italy”, according to this South China Morning Post article.
On a topic that is dominating the headlines: A previous China brief looked at BRI plans for Afghanistan. Since that brief, the United States has left Afghanistan and the Taliban has formed its government. Now there is speculation on whether the Taliban and China can move forward. The Diplomat recently assessed the hard BRI projects, such as the Port of Gwadar development, and the soft goals of BRI, such as the inclusion of women and treatment of minorities, and what Chinese and Taliban alignment or disagreement on either would mean for the future of the BRI in the country. Writers from the Council of Foreign Relations also provided their perspective, “Why Major Belt and Road Investments Are Not Coming to Afghanistan,” in a recent blog post. There is speculation that China may take over the former U.S. air base in Bagram, which the Chinese government has denied.
BRI by the numbers
A good overview of current status: New numbers from China’s National Development and Reform Commission show the BRI’s economic impact. January to June year on year trade grew 37.9 per cent to a total of US $824.55 billion. Projects completed over the same period rose 10.6 per cent year on year to US $39.35 billion. Over the first seven months of the year, Hunan province reported 18.3 per cent year on year growth in trade with BRI countries, an increase of 89.78 billion yuan or US $13.8 billion. China’s overseas infrastructure investments as part of the BRI were about US$47 billion alone in 2020.
West lacks coordination
And yes, even Estonia is watching the BRI and has an important reminder: While the BRI continues to bring economic gain to China, western nations still lack an effective, coordinated counter to the initiative. In a recent interview with Politico, Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas points to overlapping Western-led projects. “We need to connect them all…This is what I feel is lacking” the Prime Minister said.

Happy Anniversary to Us !!
Wow, it’s hard to believe that we will celebrate our 2nd Anniversary this weekend. Two years ago, on March 21, 2013, I became a small business owner. I’ve always enjoyed helping people, so I had this idea that I could form a business to do just that 🙂
Time has flown by quickly (as it usually does) ! I have been blessed with some wonderful clients. In our 2nd year, our client list has doubled ! I have had the pleasure of becoming friends with several of them. Many have been pleased with my services and have called me multiple times. Currently, I help 2 of my clients on a weekly basis. #ilovewhatido #di4y #personalassistant
I have learned so much over the past two years. I know now that running a small business is a lot more involved than I ever imagined. There is so much more to take care of, over and above actually helping my clients. I’ve attended Small Business seminars and joined the Chamber of Commerce. I’ve read numerous books and websites to help me learn the ins & outs of small business ownership. One thing I’ve learned is that it is an ongoing process … things are changing all the time … and I’ll always be learning new things.

Windows XP or Vista
2.5GB HDD Space
128MB DX compatible video card
DX 9 compatible sound
The slogan on this box is Real Cars, Real Racing. This game is definitely focused on realism and not tricked out cars, electronic music, or city street racing like the Need for Speed series. For those who like Need for Speed or other arcade-style racing games, they may find Race 07 far too realistic, in both presentation and interface. This is intended for racing simulation fans. This game is the official World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) racing game for 2007. You can play on all 32 worldwide tracks used in the 2006 and 2007 racing seasons.
When you install the game you can install it in online or offline mode. The online mode installs it through Steam. You can race people online and compare your stats with others across the globe. There are many controllers pre-configured. I didn’t see my SideWinder Force Feedback 2 joystick, but I was able to customize it and get it working with little difficulty.
You can play in any of these game modes:
Race Event - If you want to race in a few clicks, go here! There is no need for practice or qualifying; just choose your track, class, car, and driver and you’re off!
Championship - This is the heart of the game. It’s a fully simulated WTCC season where you’ll race around the world, hoping to become the world champion. You can customize the championship to race against other classes of cars if you prefer.
Additional Events - In here you can play against your best lap in Time Attack mode. If you play online, you can download other player’s records and try to beat them. You can also practice on any racetrack to get a feel for it.
How to win
Points determine your racing skills, not knocking your opponents off of the track. The driver with the best lap in the qualifying session receives the best grid position in the first round of the race. Points are awarded to the top eight racers in the end. For races in the two-race format, after the first round, the grid positions are reversed with the fastest qualifier in 8th position. When both races are over points are tallied from both rounds and a winner is named.
Championship mode uses the two-race format in addition to adding weight to the winner’s car. A car that continually finishes in the top three will have weight added until it reaches 80 extra kilos. If a car fails to place in the top three, it will have its ballast reduced.
The game box boasts having three hundred different cars to choose from. You can ride in Formula One cars, Mini Coopers, BMWs, Chevys, and more. There’s a racing class that allows you to race cars from 1987 as well. Each car type has a unique feel, and they all ride differently. Once you find a model you like, there are various paint jobs and skins to choose from. You can even import your own.
This game is all about realism; the amount of realism is determined by your difficulty level and game settings, which you can customize. You can race in the sunshine or during a heavy downpour. Sometimes you will need your headlights and windshield wipers; not only for rain but to wipe away insects. Just like real life! Car damage can be as realistic as you want it to be. For novices it’s set to only 30%; when you get to 75% or more you will start to lose tires in most crashes. Depending on your settings, you can allow for mechanical failures, tire wear, and also adjust the traction control.
The cars are really nicely detailed and they all look unique. When it comes to driving, you can change your view to external, behind the steering wheel, or through the windshield. The scenery and weather conditions are realistic looking. Some of the tracks have town scenery for some variety. The audience is now fully 3D rendered models instead of the cardboard standup look in previous titles.
The car and engine noises are unique to each car and model. The weather effects sound realistic as well. The menu music reminds me of James Bond style music; other than that there is no music during the races themselves.
This game has built in support for many joysticks and steering wheels. If you do not see yours in the list, you can easily add it. There is keyboard and force feedback support as well.
This game is rated E for everyone and it’s perfectly legal to speed in races. The rules in this racing format enforce yielding to other drivers since you can get penalized for over taking them. This isn’t a crash and smash game.
For those who are into flashy racing games you may find this title tedious. However, if you would like a realistic racing simulation and follow the WTCC you’ll enjoy this game. This game is perfectly clean. There are no half naked flag girls and no vehicular violence here. Only serious racers need apply.

Unlicensed Software Fines: Everything You Need to Know
Unlicensed software fines are levied against a company for using licenses it has not paid for. The fines can be significant.3 min read updated on February 01, 2023
What Is Software Licensing?
Software licensing describes the terms and conditions of how a software package can be used. It spells out the consequences of ignoring those terms or using the software on multiple machines while only paying for a single-user license.
Why Are Fines Necessary?
As software prices in the marketplace continue to rise, more companies are looking for ways to use software packages without paying for them, usually through the use of bootleg or pirated copies. The value of unlicensed PC software around the world is up to $60 billion. This gives vendors a powerful incentive to pursue unlicensed software users.
ICM Research for the Business Software Alliance (BSA) surveyed 1,000 software users. The firm found that one in four pieces of software in use in the United Kingdom is unlicensed. More than half of the employees using that software felt it was less risky than other behaviors. However, if the company loses a case in court for using the unlicensed software, the consequences can be serious.
Risks Associated With Using Unlicensed Software
Using an unlicensed software product can have expensive and crippling outcomes.
- Infection of your computers: You may find yourself with a package of malware instead of the software you intended to install. It may render an antivirus false positive, but not every time. Malware can slow down your PC, share your private information with unauthorized parties, pull your friends in by using their information stored in your system, and damage your important files. Your credit card numbers, bank account information, passwords, contact information, and more can all be shared with identity thieves.
- Malfunctioning computers: The software package you install may not even work because most companies can verify the registration of the product. Even if it works for a short time, the software becomes unusable later unless you purchase the software license. Disabling the Automatic Update feature is possible, but you won't get the important patches that secure your system against vulnerabilities. For example, among bootleg copies of Windows, a recent test on six different copies found that two had malware embedded and all had the Update feature disabled and the firewall rules modified. These may seem like small changes, but they expose your system to serious danger.
- Unlimited fines: Companies can be fined whatever the court deems appropriate. There is no cap on the amount. In 2007, one company was fined for using unlicensed software. Business owners must ask themselves whether the company can survive a financial hit like that.
- Jail time: Management staff involved in software privacy can be sent to jail if found guilty by the courts.
- Exposure to cyber attacks: A global survey called "Unlicensed Software and Cybersecurity Threats" confirmed a link between unlicensed software and malware. In a given country, the higher the rate of unlicensed software, the higher the rate of malware presence. Lacking a legitimate license puts your company at risk.
The possibility that your business will have a software audit soon is real. According to Gartner, up to 68 percent of business will have at least one software audit request in the next year. Multiple software audits have already taken place in up to 52 percent of companies surveyed.
Vendors use audits to generate revenue and defend their rights to their intellectual property. They watch purchasing records carefully to choose the next target for an audit. Suspicious activity can bring about an audit, and failing to complete one audit can bring about more.
Now that you know an audit can be right around the corner, you should prepare now to avoid or successfully complete one. Most companies know about the direct costs of an audit, but they don't realize all the associated expenses involved. If you enter into a settlement to avoid going to court, the amount can include significant damages. The BSA reports that cases settle outside of court at 40 to 60 percent of the original demand.
How to Report Unlicensed Software
To help curb the use of unlicensed software, you can report such activities anonymously online to the Federation Against Software Theft (FAST).
If you need help with understanding unlicensed software fines, you can post your legal need on UpCounsel's marketplace. UpCounsel accepts only the top 5 percent of lawyers to its site. Lawyers on UpCounsel come from law schools such as Harvard Law and Yale Law and average 14 years of legal experience, including work with or on behalf of companies like Google, Menlo Ventures, and Airbnb. | <urn:uuid:25befbce-bbca-4c3c-ac79-c48f3ebb8b1a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.upcounsel.com/unlicensed-software-fines | 2024-02-22T08:14:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.924249 | 951 | [

Hey everyone! If you've recently purchased the AirPods 3rd generation and are wondering how to control the volume, you're not alone. Many users have found themselves in the same situation, trying to figure out how to turn the volume up or down on these latest AirPods.
Unfortunately, adjusting the volume directly on the AirPods 3rd generation is not possible. Instead, you will need to rely on Siri, Apple's voice assistant, to control the volume for you. Simply say "Hey Siri" and then ask her to turn up or turn down the volume. It's a simple and convenient way to manage your audio levels without needing to reach for your device.
However, it's worth noting that this method works when listening to content from apps like YouTube or Spotify. While it may seem a bit inconvenient at first, keep in mind that the AirPods 3rd generation come with other touch controls that can be useful.
For example, pressing the force sensor on the AirPods once will pause the audio or video you're listening to. Tapping it again will resume playback. Additionally, if you double tap the force sensor, it will skip forward, while a triple tap will skip back. These controls provide an alternative way to interact with your AirPods.
It's important to understand that the controls on the AirPods may vary depending on the generation. The 2nd generation and 1st generation AirPods have slightly different methods for controlling volume and playback. It seems like Apple is continually experimenting to find the best approach for their wireless earbuds.
Some users may prefer having a physical button to control volume, especially in situations where talking to Siri may not be convenient or desirable. For instance, if you're commuting or in a crowded place, constantly using voice commands may not be ideal. Hopefully, future iterations of AirPods will incorporate this feature.
While it may take some time to get used to the controls on the AirPods 3rd generation, they do offer a convenient and hands-free way to manage your audio experience. With a simple "Hey Siri" command, you can easily adjust the volume and enjoy your favorite content seamlessly.
In conclusion, controlling the volume on the AirPods 3rd generation is not done directly on the device itself. Instead, you can rely on Siri to handle it for you. Other touch controls are available, such as pausing, resuming, skipping forward, and skipping back, by using the force sensor on the AirPods. While it may not be the most traditional method, it offers a new and innovative way to interact with your wireless earbuds.No answer to your question? ASK IN FORUM. Subscribe on YouTube!

Circe by Madeline Miller
Okay, so full disclosure, this novel doesn't have substantive LGBT+ content (although there is a decidedly queer accent to its conclusion) but it is so exceptionally incredible and we love it so fiercely, we just have to share it with you. Think a feminist retelling of The Odyssey where gods and monsters rage and scheme so palpably, you can feel it! Circe blew...our...minds!
Woman. Witch. Myth. Mortal. Outcast. Lover. Destroyer. Survivor. CIRCE.
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. Circe is a strange child – not powerful and terrible, like her father, nor gorgeous and mercenary like her mother. Scorned and rejected, Circe grows up in the shadows, at home in neither the world of gods or mortals. But Circe has a dark power of her own: witchcraft. When her gift threatens the gods, she is banished to the island of Aiaia where she hones her occult craft, casting spells, gathering strange herbs and taming wild beasts. Yet a woman who stands alone will never be left in peace for long – and among her island's guests is an unexpected visitor: the mortal Odysseus, for whom Circe will risk everything.
So Circe sets forth her tale, a vivid, mesmerizing epic of family rivalry, love and loss – the defiant, inextinguishable song of woman burning hot and bright through the darkness of a man's world.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2019
“An epic spanning thousands of years that's also a keep-you-up-all-night page turner.” – Ann Patchett
“Captivating ... Will entertain and enchant.” – Sunday Express Magazine
“Horror, heartache and grit pour from the pages of this exquisitely written and compelling novel. An alchemist with words, Miller continues to rejuvenate the classics with her exceptional talent … Circe is one of the best and most rewarding books of 2018.” – Uli Lenart, Attitude
“Enough magic, enchantment, voyages and wonders to satisfy the most jaded sword-and-sorcery palate. Miller approaches Odysseus's story from Circe's point of view, richly evoking her protagonist's overlapping identities as goddess, witch, lover and mother.” – Adam Roberts, Guardian, Books of the Year
“A triumph.” – The Times, Books of the Year
“Circe back as superwoman … Homer's witch get a kickass modern makeover… Miller's Me Too-era, kickass portrait of a woman trying to defy the men and Fates arrayed against her is enchanting… Blisteringly modern.” – The Times

With Episode 3 Act 2 starting Wednesday, VALORANT players will soon get their hands on the game’s new map, Fracture, and potentially the next VALORANT agent, Deadeye, later in the Act. VALORANT’s 17th agent has not been officially announced or showcased, but Riot Games has given the community glimpses into his design and abilities. Data miners and leakers have also dropped early info on the new character.
Here is everything we know so far about Deadeye.
While much of Deadeye’s lore and abilities is still unknown, fans did catch a brief glimpse of him in the WATCH // Year One Anthem video Riot released back in June to celebrate the game’s one-year anniversary. It was only for a few frames, but fans got to see a tall man with a clean-cut look, tattoos and a long gun. Fans can also find concept art for Deadeye hanging on a wall in parts of the video as well.
Deadeye abilities and name
So far, not even the name of this agent has been confirmed outside of appearing in a few lines of code. First discovered by VALORANT data miner floxay, Deadeye appeared in the game’s code back in June listed as a new agent.
For his abilities, fans can only speculate now, as the only information to go off of includes the characters design, name and a short video tweeted out by the VALORANT Twitter account. This video was also the beginning of the Fracture trailer.
— VALORANT (@VALORANT) August 30, 2021
With the Fracture trailer also comes a mysterious French accented voice that some has speculated to be Deadeye, connecting the bullet with the aforementioned agent.
The agent’s gun could play a role in his design and could point to his agent designation as either Duelist or Initiator. But Riot has dropped a few different new Duelists and Initiators since the game’s release, so Deadeye may turn out to be Controller or Sentinel of some kind in the interest of adding some options to those roles.
More information surrounding the agent will come out shortly as his expected released is approaching. | <urn:uuid:0b52898f-e0ad-4dc3-a233-ba12f8ed024c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://cms.upcomer.com/everything-we-know-so-far-about-valorants-next-agent-deadeye/ | 2024-02-26T11:54:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474659.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226094435-20240226124435-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.970604 | 461 | [

Many, if not most, dietary supplement brands outsource manufacturing to a Contract Manufacturer (CM). Choosing the best aligned CM is critical for a brand’s success in many ways. The brand owner should look at the dietary supplement contract manufacturer as a partner, not just a vendor, because of how critical it is for the products to be made to specifications. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of responsibilities the CM is responsible for.
Ask for the Manufacturing Agreement! A Manufacturing Agreement is critical to defining what responsibilities each party is accountable for. It should address every aspect of the partnership in writing including pricing, product specifications, ingredient sourcing, quality control, FDA compliance, labels, testing, delivery, payment terms, insurance, and most importantly the process for resolving issues. Be very suspicious of any dietary supplement contract manufacturers that do not put these important facets of a contract manufacturing relationship in writing. All of the CM obligations should be clearly documented.
Do not be afraid to ask for the manufacturing agreement! If a manufacturer does not have one that clearly addresses the dietary supplement contract manufacturer’s responsibilities, the CM should be immediately disqualified as a manufacturing partner. You cannot afford to have your vitamins and supplements made in a way that does not meet your expectations.
If you would like more information about dietary supplement contract manufacturing agreements or would like to talk with someone about supplement manufacturing, please contact Sawgrass Nutra Labs here. | <urn:uuid:8808cb46-c248-43e3-b574-22c000e399de> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sawgrassnutralabs.com/blog/ask-for-the-agreement/ | 2024-02-26T11:05:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474659.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226094435-20240226124435-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.9516 | 286 | [

Always Encrypted helps prevent the exfiltration of sensitive data by rogue DBAs, admins, and cloud operators. Your data gets transparently encrypted and decrypted on the client side and it is never revealed in plaintext in the database system.
Always Encrypted with secure enclaves extends Always Encrypted by allowing sensitive data to be decrypted within a server-side trusted execution environment, called a secure enclave - a protected region of memory within the database system process, which appears as a black box to the database system and other processes on the hosting machine. There is no way to view any data or code inside the enclave from the outside. Thus, the enclave can safely perform computations on plaintext data within the database system.
Always Encrypted with secure enclaves, now generally available in Azure SQL Database, provides two main benefits: in-place encryption and rich confidential queries.
Without secure enclaves, setting up Always Encrypted can be challenging – since the database system has, by design, no access to cryptographic keys, encrypting a column requires data to be moved and encrypted outside of the database. As a result, the encryption process can take a long time and is prone to network errors. And, if you need to re-encrypt your column later, for example to rotate the column encryption key or to change the type of encryption, you will face the same challenges again.
With a secure enclave available inside your database system, there is no need to move your data for cryptographic operations. Since the enclave is trusted, a client driver within your application or a tool, such as Azure Data Studio or SQL Server Management Studio, can securely share the keys with the enclave for the duration of cryptographic operations. The enclave can encrypt or re-encrypt columns in-place. This typically results in a dramatic reduction of time needed to perform such operations.
Our project involves protecting sensitive financial information stored in large tables, with hundreds of millions of rows. The performance of encrypting such large data sets is critical. With secure enclaves we have seen dramatic improvements in the speed of encryption, compared to Always Encrypted not using enclaves. Encrypting columns in a table with over 700 million rows used to take days. Now, with secure enclaves supporting in-place encryption, the time is reduced to 5 hours. - Erick Wittrock, Cloud Engineer, United Wholesale Mortgage.
Rich confidential queries
Most client-side encryption technologies allow no operations on protected data within a database server. Always Encrypted (without secure enclaves) supports only one operation on encrypted columns: equality comparison. Many applications, however, require richer data processing. For example, personally identifiable information (PII), such as people names, addresses, national identification numbers, or credit card numbers often require pattern matching or sorting. If you want to protect your data from malicious admins and perform such computations without enclaves, the only option is to move the data to the client-side and process it within your application. However, this approach does not scale to large data sets and requires extensive application changes.
Always Encrypted with secure enclaves enables pattern matching, range comparisons, sorting, and more on encrypted columns, allowing you to use the database system for what it’s designed for: querying your data. There is no need for refactor your apps and expensive data movement.
Royal Bank of Canada is an example of a customer who is already leveraging the power of rich confidential computations provided by Always Encrypted with secure enclaves:
Our project focuses on working with different partners to bring more value to respective customers by exchanging encrypted data wherein no person, process or system can see each other’s data. Always Encrypted with secure enclaves in Azure SQL Database provides us the framework for managing encrypted data and running queries on top of them, while minimizing work on our end. By leveraging Always Encrypted that helps ensure that RBC and Microsoft don’t have access to customer data, we can create a new platform to provide services that we couldn’t offer before. — Eddy Ortiz, VP of Solution Acceleration and Innovation, Royal Bank of Canada | <urn:uuid:8b3420a3-6231-4b6a-bd91-711cd0dafc71> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-sql-blog/always-encrypted-with-secure-enclaves-now-generally-available-in/ba-p/2502560 | 2024-02-29T06:35:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474784.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20240229035411-20240229065411-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.892546 | 842 | [

Rental of the week: 32 Gifford Street
The rental market in Toronto is a scary place. Prospective renters with modest budgets are bound to feel a sense of impending doom when trying to find something decent.
This week, I set my monthly rent limit at $1,700. That shouldn't make apartment hunting too hard, but I still scrolled through pretty much every apartment in the available range on various rental sites without finding any superb deals.
There were, of course, plenty of one bedroom condos at the top end of the range, but that's not exactly cheap for a 600-square-foot space. Let's say your rental budget is under $1,000 a month. In Toronto, that means you might be looking for a roommate.
This basement apartment is a pretty good example of what you can get for a decent-sized space in the $1,500 to $1,700 range. Yes, it's subterranean, but natural light does get in. With two bedrooms, on-site laundry, and a back deck, it'll comfortably house two people.
With the Regent Park revitalization nearing its final stages, the surrounding neighbourhood has many new amenities to offer.
A couple who need a second bedroom/office space or roommates looking to get their monthly rental costs below the $1,000 mark and who are excited by the prospect of living in a neighbourhood that's in the midst of a major transformation.
You hate basements. All things considered, this one is pretty good in terms of light exposure, but being underground is often a deal breaker.

3D-imaging with X-ray tomography
X-ray tomography is an imaging method that can be used to produce three-dimensional density maps on samples without destroying them. The method can be used for a wide selection of materials. In 2017, a GE Phoenix v|tome|x s 240 (XCT) X-ray tomography device was installed at GTK’s Espoo Research Laboratory. The device is especially designed for imaging geological and inorganic samples.
X-ray tomography is based on the absorption of X-rays by different materials. GTK’s device features the high-output 240 kV microfocus X-ray tube, which enables an accuracy of 5 micrometres. We also use the 180 kV nanofocus tube, which has a smaller output but enables an even better 1 micrometre accuracy. Samples to be imaged with the microfocus tube can be a maximum of 30 centimetres in diameter and 41 centimetres long, and weigh up to 10 kilos. When using the nanofocus tube, samples need to be significantly smaller. The best accuracy is achieved with samples under two millimetres in diameter.
Components in samples, such as mineral phases, must be identified with other methods, for example with SEM or EDS, from a two-dimensional surface. The information from the identification can then be applied to the density map.
GTK’s device also features a Deben’s sample holder assembly, which can be used to press or stretch the sample with a maximum force of 5 kN. At the same time, the sample can be cooled or heated to temperatures between -20 and +100 degrees Celsius. | <urn:uuid:6faf2be5-44d8-4a08-96b4-b747e1363248> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.gtk.fi/en/research-methods/3d-imaging-with-x-ray-tomography/ | 2024-02-29T05:15:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474784.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20240229035411-20240229065411-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.91989 | 355 | [

As the summer winds down, the weather is getting to that perfect point where it isn’t sweltering but it isn’t chilly; it’s just right. This opens up a realm of possibilities and new activities for great dates; whether it’s a picnic in the park, that patio you’ve been meaning to hit up all summer long, or the cliché long walk on the beach (a personal favourite of this author TBH), there are plenty of ways to take advantage of these gorgeous temperatures. Whether it’s a fun first date or a romantic evening with your significant other, here are some cute date ideas for you and yours!
Take in the View from The Broadview Hotel
With 360° views of the city and it’s sunsets, The Broadview Hotel offers scenic views and a homey dining experience that is a perfect date spot. Their rooftop terrace, aptly named “The Rooftop”, has great lunch and brunch options (the latter being available from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekends), but the Rooftop Bar will light up your night as you marvel at the views of the Toronto skyline. This gorgeous view and lovely little spot makes for a fantastic date idea.
Where: 106 Broadview Ave, Toronto, ON, M4M 2G1.
Have a Picnic at Christie Pits Park
Located directly across from Christie subway station, Christie Pits is a sprawling park with a valley, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, splash pads, skateboarding areas, and trails weaving throughout! This all serves as entertainment for a lovely date; there are picnic tables and plenty of flat ground to set up a beautiful spread. If you don’t want to pack your own treats and refreshments, there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby to accentuate the experience!
Where: 750 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON, M6G 3K4.
Rent a Canoe from the Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre
Have you spent much time on Lake Ontario this season? If not, then this is the perfect activity for you and a date! Rent a two-person canoe from Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre and enjoy breathtaking views on the lake while getting fit and building that chemistry (physical and emotional)! You could paddle to the Toronto Islands, and could even bring your dog in the canoe with you (three is a crowd, after all); act now, as they’re only open until the end of September!
Where: 83 Queens Quay W, Toronto, ON, M5V 1A2.
Chill Out with some Ice Cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Dutch Dreams! It’s not too late in the summer for an ice-cream date, and this staple of St. Clair West has been serving up eccentric cones and mind-boggling creations for over 3o years! They have nearly 40 original flavours, a variety of cones, and a myriad of toppings that you and your date can mix and match to create a masterpiece thought to be inconceivable! Maybe Dutch Dreams will be the spot for your dream date?
Where: 36 Vaughan Rd, Toronto, ON, M6G 2N3.
Catch an Outdoor Concert at RBC Echo Beach
While you have the ever-popular Budweiser Stage nearby, RBC Echo Beach doesn’t get enough love for being a great outdoor concert venue; dip your toes in the sand and see some of the music industry’s brightest upcoming stars or established acts!

Where: 909 Lake Shore Blvd W, Toronto, ON, M6K 3L3.
Stop and Smell the Flowers at Rosetta McClain Gardens
Located near the Scarborough Bluffs (and providing fantastic views of Lake Ontario), the Rosetta McClain Gardens featured raised planters, rose gardens, rock fountains, and more sights to behold while we still have a few weeks of summer. While the beautiful floret is the main attraction, the gorgeous wildlife that call this spot their home include a variety of birds and butterflies for you and your date to admire! While Toronto offers a variety of flower gardens to visit, this hidden gem of the East end should be at the top of your list for a romantic rendezvous.
Where: 5 Glen Everest Rd, Scarborough, ON, M1N 1J2.

Numerical Study on Flexural Behavior of Alkali-Activated Slag Concrete Beam by ANSYS
Geopolymer concrete is a type of concrete that is made by reacting aluminate and silicate-bearing materials with a caustic activator, such as fly ash or slag from iron and metal production. It can be a suitable substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Geopolymer concrete is considered green concrete because of the reduced CO2 emission and due to the usage of waste materials for manufacturing. Several investigations are happening on the topic of geopolymer concrete in structural members like beams, columns and slabs. This work focuses on the numerical analysis of the flexural behaviour of alkali-activated reinforced slag concrete beam under cyclic loading. Numerical study was conducted using finite element tool, ANSYS. For this, a numerical model was developed and modeled. Thereafter, cyclic load was applied on the same beam to obtain the load-deformation curve. From this curve, the first crack load, ultimate load, maximum deformation, ductility index and energy absorption capacity were obtained.

2004: White separatism on the increase in S.Africa My Comments
Back in 2004 I posted this article about Orania with my comments. You‘ll see back then I was advocating secession and a White‘s only state.
[This is from a discussion with one of my supporters. Only Jews, scare the American government and elite more than Blacks do. Jan]
I can’t believe the SA genocide is completely unknown to most people. how many Boers have been murdered, displaced or been robbed of their land and how many generations did it take to debase the prosperous white middle class into poverty since G Bush brought in Mandela. For those who dispute the Kalergi plan, what is an accurate number for murders through political incitement and propaganda?
I need to put out a show I did with my lawyer. He estimated that 100,000 Whites have been murdered under Black rule. I think that’s a reasonable estimate. Because about 8 years ago I saw another estimate that said 60,000 Whites had already been killed then.
PERSONALLY, I think the evidence is VERY CLEAR that since the Whites have lived under BLACK RULE, that we’ve been dying far more than when we were at WAR. I think we might as well just return to a life of war because LESS OF US WILL DIE. I’m serious.
The whole process of handing over SA to Black rule was just lunacy. But America is weak and Britain was weak and Russia and China were exploiting Western weakness. I think that when it comes to BLACKS – that BLACKS are the ACHILLES HEEL OF AMERICA. White Americans took such a bad turn during that stupid war against the South. They killed Whites and used Blacks for the political gain of the north. An American supporter said to me that over 200,000 Negroes were in the Union Army. That is so disgusting.
That is where America took a wrong turn and I don’t see any indication that America can undo that. The elite and the rich and the politicians of America are incapable of standing up to Blacks.
Plus, in the 1960s or so the US Government FORCED WHITES AT GUNPOINT TO INTEGRATE WITH BLACKS.
I notice in all America’s moves that America is only scared of two things: Jews and Blacks. America will kill anyone or avoid anything in those areas. Even Trump had Police bending their knees to violent useless Black scum like BLM.
That’s so disgusting.
2004: S.Africa sells nuclear secrets to RED CHINA
Since the blacks came to power, weve had the Russians here, getting our military technology. Now were helping out those peaceful Chinese communists who threatened to nuke LA.

Twitter is unique in that posts are limited to 280 characters and this allows for content which is concise and impactful.
Twitter also has a high volume of content, with 500 million tweets being published every day.¹
Therefore a challenge that comes with Twitter is making sure that your campaign or cause stands out above the noise.
Images, videos and more creative content can help to achieve this. For example, there are only a small percentage of Tweets every day containing Gifs but these have been found to have 55% more engagement than posts without.¹
For the development of an organisation or campaign, Twitter can be a good tool for connecting directly with people as users can directly @ your account.
Because of this, it is a popular platform for providing customer service, shown by the fact that 85% of small and medium businesses use Twitter for this purpose.’¹
It is also a simple and quick way for nonprofits to answer questions and gauge interest in events with minimal resources needed.
Hashtags are used on all social media platforms now, but Twitter is particularly optimised for this feature.
Using popular hashtags related to current events may help to drive more traffic to your post, and creating original and unique hashtags can help to spark conversation and set aside your campaign from others.
71% of Twitter users get their news from the platform,¹ which makes it perfect for making announcements due to its fast paced and timely nature.
Events are often live-tweeted, allowing people to be engaged from afar, and may persuade them to become more involved in future happenings.
This characteristic of Twitter can be used advantageously to generate buzz around a particular occasion, campaign or fundraiser.
The short form of tweets means that it is easy to keep people informed without requiring too much time or planning.
The best day for interaction with nonprofits on Twitter is Wednesday, in keeping with the trend that there is more interaction midweek as opposed to a drop in engagement on Saturdays and Sundays.²
These data can be useful in showing the best times to schedule posts if an aim of your online marketing is to reach as many people as possible.

Starting in January 1920, the United States became a dry country. Prohibition banned the manufacture and sale of alcohol in an attempt to civilize unruly Americans (and some other reasons). The experiment had many unintended consequences, but most dangerously, it fostered the rise of organized crime and the American Mafia.

South African gold miner AngloGold Ashanti has restarted some of its operations in the country, with nearly 8% of its total workforce back at work.
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced several mining companies to halt the operations at their mines globally.
The South African Department of Mineral Resources & Energy has granted permission for the limited restart of AngloGold’s surface operations in the country.
AngloGold started processing marginal ore dumps at its West Wits operations and reclaiming tailings at the Mine Waste Solutions business unit in the Vaal River region.
The company said only one of its 14 operations in the country, Mponeng, remains suspended until the end of the lockdown period on 30 April 2020.
AngloGold Ashanti CEO Kelvin Dushnisky said: “A diverse portfolio and proactive management of our balance sheet has given us flexibility during this unprecedented time.

“We’re focused on the health of our employees and our communities, while ensuring we have the ability to contribute meaningfully to a range of vital public health and economic initiatives in each of our operating jurisdictions.”
Outside South Africa, AngloGold has also restarted operations in Argentina and Brazil with limited staffing.
The company restarted milling operations at its sole mine in Argentina, Cerro Vanguardia, and resumed operations at Mineração Serra Grande in Brazil.
In each case, AngloGold said the resumption of operations took place alongside stringent screening, hygiene, social distancing and other measures designed to mitigate the risk of infection. | <urn:uuid:125b92d2-7355-4875-acd6-cccde466e550> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.mining-technology.com/news/anglogold-south-africa/ | 2024-02-21T02:24:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473360.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221002544-20240221032544-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.946505 | 421 | [

Johannesburg - A combination of fireworks and the latest light effects technology will mark the closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup on Sunday night, organisers said.
The ceremony, to be broadcast to millions of TV viewers world-wide, will take place at Soccer City Stadium from 18:30.
"We are looking at youthful and technological advanced closing ceremony and because it is at night time the event will feature a lot of lighting technology," spokesperson Jamaine Craig said on Wednesday.
He confirmed that Shakira and local group Freshlyground will be performing their number one hit "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" during the closing ceremony.
The Official song of the 2010 World Cup has reportedly reached one million sales mark since it became available on 11 May, making the fastest-selling single and the biggest-selling World Cup single in the history of the tournament.
It is still not clear who, between President Jacob Zuma or FIFA President Sepp Blatter, will be handing over the trophy to the winning team as there is no official protocol for this.
FIFA has also announced that a whooping three million spectators have so far turned up at stadiums across the country since the start of the World Cup.
The soccer governing body described the figure as the third highest overall total ever in the history of the flagship event, behind only the 1994 and 2006 tournaments. "It's very impressive and we are expecting another milestone as the tournament progresses to the final matches," said spokesperson Nicolas Maingot.
Fan Fests also continued to be a resounding success and FIFA is hoping to have recorded a five million world-wild attendance when the tournament closes on Sunday. On Tuesday, night Cape Town recorded a turnout of 49 144 people watching the game at a Fan Fest, the highest for the Mother City so far.
Maingot said at least 800 category one ticket were still available for tonight's game between 2006 hosts Germany and Spain in Durban. This will be the 21st encounter between the two sides and it is Germany who has marginally the better record with eight victories to the Spanish's six.
The two teams have met three times in a FIFA World Cup and Spain are yet to come out on top. Die Nationalelf notched successive 2-1 victories in 1966 and 1982 before the teams recorded their only draw in the finals in 1994.
The sides last squared up in the final of UEFA Euro 2008, when the La Roja triumphed with 1-nil courtesy of a goal by Fernando Torres. This is the first time that the finalists of a European Championship have both qualified for the semi-finals in the subsequent edition of the World Cup. The match kicks-off at 20:30. | <urn:uuid:20858e83-1786-40ea-a3de-f2678ee0589c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.sanews.gov.za/world/loc-promises-colourful-closing-ceremony | 2024-02-21T02:50:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473360.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221002544-20240221032544-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.956489 | 551 | [

DON’T PAY COUNCIL TAX STALL IN HYSON GREEN – Saturday 13th April, 11.00 am.
People responded positively to the ‘Oppose Cuts, Don’t Pay Council Tax’ campaigning stall held at Bulwell on Saturday, 6th. April. Around two hundred leaflets were handed out and there was little dissent.
Many people in Bulwell on low incomes already are not paying Council Tax because they can’t afford it. Some have been summonsed to court for non-payment. (These people should be supported by pickets at the Magistrates’ Courts.)
There is widespread awareness of the incoming bedroom tax and much opposition to it. Some passers-by recalled the successful Anti-Poll Tax Campaign and as a result are seriously considering withholding Council tax payments. (Leaflets were available which spelt out the consequences of not paying.)
This was an encouraging start to the campaign and there will be a follow-up stall at Hyson Green (near the market) at 11.00 on Saturday, 13th. April. Come along and help get some effective opposition to the cuts off the ground.

If you have a new product you want to test on our seventh- and eighth-grade panelists, contact Diane Toops at [email protected], or (630) 467-1300, ext. 321.
Amber Cooley, 8th grade:
Stripes and Blues exotic vegetable chips are crunchy and taste sort of stale. They are red, blue and striped colored. I don't really like the chips because they are too sweet. I think they should make these chips softer and with a less sweet taste and more spicy or salty flavor. I would recommend these chips to old adults because they like unique flavors.
Billy Prout, 8th grade:
The packaging is lively and colorful. The veggie chips have new and fun colors. I think they have a new taste for a salty snack. They are scrumptious and delicious. They are also healthy for you.
Terra Exotic Vegetable Chips, Stripes and Blues Gourmet Barbeque; Hain Celestial Group Inc.; Melville, N.Y.
Sage Siler, 8th grade:
The packaging is different; it's dark and the picture looks better than the actual product. That's the case a lot of the time in advertisements. The chips kind of look like dried up flowers. They don't taste like BBQ to me; they just taste sweet, and the aftertaste is bad. They're really crunchy. I think they would taste a lot better if they were salty instead of BBQ.
Tyrone Spears, 8th grade:
These chips taste kind of stale. They also don't have a salty taste to them. They have a tiny hint of barbeque. The taste of the beets sticks out. The taste is dull, and the chips don't really have a blast of flavor.
Arden Kelly Lowenstein, 8th grade:
The packaging is shiny and attractive, easy to open and good. The texture of the chips is all right, kind of like stale chips. The flavor is good, but there is not much of it. They need heavier flavoring and more crunch. I appreciate that they are healthy.
Matthew Foster, 8th grade:
The packaging is boring and ugly. The chips look like dried flowers. The chips taste bland. They are uninteresting and unsatisfying. They should not be made.
Jessica Shatkin, 8th grade:
These chips are delicious. They are a yummy, healthy snack. They are crunchy and the BBQ flavor hits the spot. It would be nice if they were in smaller bags. But they are a good snack for anyone who likes natural chips.
Simone Dec, 8th grade:
They taste like veggies, but not much barbeque. The chips were supposed to taste like potatoes, but don't. The packaging is black. I would recommend these to vegetarians or people who like veggie chips. They are not something I would regularly eat, but they are OK.
Brianne Brownlee, 8th grade:
They taste nasty! The color makes me want to throw them away. The bag says barbeque, but it doesn't taste like it. Vegetarians might like it. Some do actually taste like potatoes though.
Andrea Reynolds, 8th grade:
BBQ Stripes and Blues are very nasty with a bad smell. Sorry to say, but they're the worst chips I ever ate in my life. I really don't like them at all.
Corie Brissette, 8th grade:
These chips are good and well made. I don't like the way they look though. The taste is OK, and they will sell.
Jack Grant, 8th grade:
The veggie chips are so good. The packaging isn't very appealing, but the product is good. They (the chips) have different colors, which represent different veggies.

Bouncing on the trampoline may apparently seem to be just a fun activity that you can engage your kids in so that they can work out a little bit. But this is not the only benefit that you can get from bouncing on the trampoline.
Trampolines have some of the most significant perks to offer that lead to the overall development of a person and can, even, turn out to be life-changing for both kids and adults.
Research has revealed that there are instances when trampoline has helped people, especially kids, to recover from situations that no amount of therapy or medication could do earlier. So they can actually contribute to our health and lives in a way that is almost unfathomable if not tried and experienced by yourself.
As a parent, you may stay worried about your kids that they do not want to venture outside or engage in exercises. As a solution, you can just take them out to your nearest trampoline park once and see how drastically their mentality changes as they have the time of their life bouncing and having fun, without even realising that are undergoing a vigorous workout session.
Just spare a few minutes to read on the tremendous benefits that trampolining can offer your kids and why as parents you must introduce them to it.
- Improving The Cardiovascular Health of the Kids –Bouncing on a trampoline for a prolonged period helps to improve your cardiovascular health. Most of the children who are residing in the urban areas do not have the chance to go outside and play. A lack of proper workout deteriorates their cardio-vascular condition in the long run. But to reduce this chance you can take them out to your nearest trampoline park which will act as a great way of getting them jumping and bouncing on the trampoline.
- Developing Their Social Skills – When there are quite a number of kids jumping on the trampoline, then the time that one gets to spend on the trampoline gets a desirable commodity because of its scarcity. This implies that the kids must talk with each other, socialise, plan up, coordinate and negotiate to arrive at a consensual decision regarding how long each one will get to bounce on the trampoline. So, in this case, the kids gradually bond with the others in the trampoline park, just like they used to do in the playground.
- Improving Their Balance and Coordination – Bouncing on the trampoline calls for learning ample balance and coordination. In order to bounce in the right way and then land just the way it is desired, you require balance and coordination. Moreover, when there are other bouncers you also have to improve your coordination so that all of you can have without hurting each other. The kids also learn the same after visiting a trampoline park frequently.
- Enhancing their Self-confidence – With time and practise, self-confidence of the kids also gets enhanced. They not only get to learn new tricks like jumping, sitting, standing, flipping and twist-standing. As they achieve success, their self-confidence level also gets enhanced.
- Stronger Muscles and Bones – The larger muscles of the body like quads, cores, glutes, feet and calves also get stronger by regular trampolining. | <urn:uuid:cf735bc4-e744-4956-91b1-3d6fd5fbae81> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.funkyfrugalmommy.com/2017/06/5-ways-in-which-trampolining-helps-in.html | 2024-02-22T11:04:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473738.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222093910-20240222123910-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.955763 | 670 | [

THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF NEW PENSION SCHEME FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. A CASE STUDY OF UBA AND FIRST BANK
1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY
The inevitability of ageing has made retirement a natural normal phenomenon in the world of work. The importance of work lies in the fact that it determines the social and economic status of an individual and influences, philosophy, attitude, dressing, behavior and belief of an individual. However, despite the magnitude of work to individuals and wellness of society in general work is exhaustible to individuals, hence workers must disengage from work (retire). Therefore, retirement is a stage in life that is normal for any worker (public or privated) that do not die in active services.
The life span of an individual is divided into three phases, in which retirement is one. The first phase: period of birth up to time of schooling or training before employment.
The second phase: period of work, an individual at this stage engage in activities for financial reward.
The third phase: is the period of retirement, is the point of severance from work, which falls under the ambit of disengagement theory in social gerontology. Here, the inevitability of death makes death a normal and natural occurrence. People must disengage so that the social system will not be disrupted when an individual dies.
Retirement is not tantamount to redundancy neither a palliative period, but a time of self freedom without the compulsion of work dictates in which an individual is free to spend his/her time as wished.
1.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Historically,Nigeriaas a country inherited the British pension scheme, British Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) is the premier pension scheme inNigeria. In 1962 National providence fund was established as compulsory savings for workers in the private sector.

The law certified National Pension Commission (Pencom) as the supervising and regulatory body to oversee the activities of registered pension fund Administrators (PFA). Through the Submission process, the new pension scheme has made pension an integral exercise of public private partnership. Individual workers do contribute and have the choice of adopting preferred fund administrators. In addition, for the first time the history ofNigeria, pension fund is a source of fund for investment purpose. Hence, it becomes an employment generation Scheme as the Pension Fund Administrators have employed personnel thereby creating avenue for employment opportunities. Finally, it has attracted foreign investment that has open up the Nigerian economy to positive side of globalization.

Sugar-coated or Bullets-hided: An Analysis of the Types of Children’s Lie-telling under the Influence of Parents’ White Lies
Department of Sociology, School of Public Administration, College Town Campus, Guangzhou University, Xiaoguwei Street, Panyu, District, Guangdong Province, China
* Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected]
This study explores the different types of lying behavior among children within a Chinese family under the influence of parents’ white lies. This study aims to explore the connection between parents’ white lies and the various types of lying behavior children exhibit. Data was obtained through an online questionnaire that was completed by young adults between the ages of 19-30 who had experienced white lies from parents during their childhood. Our study found a negative correlation between parents’ use of white lies and their children’s tendency to lie. The results of the study provide valuable insight into the relationship between parental white lies and children’s lying behaviors and possibly offer effective parenting strategies.

Teen Vogue: Inviting Teens To Legitimize Sex Work
Teen Vogue magazine is not longer available in print, but it continues to pump out content in its’ free online format. In other words, it’s accessible. The target audience is girls between the ages of twelve to seventeen. Of course, there are those outside of the target (both younger and older) who access the content online.
Owned by Conde Nast, the magazine’s mission and purpose is stated this way. . . “Teen Vogue is the young person’s guide to saving the world. We aim to educate, enlighten and empower our audience to create a more inclusive environment (both on-and offline) by amplifying the voices of the unheard, telling stories that normally go untold, and providing resources for teens looking to make a tangible impact in their communities.”
Recently, Teen Vogue’s efforts to “educate, enlighten and empower” impressionable kids included an op-ed piece by Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng of South Africa’s Nalane for Reproductive Justice entitled, “Why Sex Work Is Real Work.” This is not a joke.
In the piece. . . which for the life of me I can’t even imagine why it was included in a magazine for kids. . . Mofokeng argues that sex work (prostitution, sex trafficking, etc.) should be decriminalized globally. She ridiculously argues first that since as a medical doctor she is involved in advising patients on sexual health for payment, she is a sex worker herself. She even asks, “And in some ways, aren’t we all?” She continues, “Sex workers must be affirmed through upholding and the protection of their human rights to autonomy, dignity, fair labor practices, access to evidence-based care. It is for this and many other reasons that I believe sex work and sex worker rights are women’s rights, health rights, labor rights, and the litmus test for intersectional feminism.”
Mofokeng lets her young readers know that sex work is something that can be legitimately bought and sold. . . “So, what exactly is sex work? Not all sex workers engage in penetrative sex, though, undeniably, that is a big part of sex work. Sex-worker services between consenting adults may include companionship, intimacy, nonsexual role playing, dancing, escorting, and stripping. These roles are often pre-determined, and all parties should be comfortable with them. Many workers take on multiple roles with their clients, and some may get more physical while other interactions that may have started off as sexual could evolve into emotional and psychological bonding. The clients who seek sex workers vary, and they’re not just men. The idea of purchasing intimacy and paying for the services can be affirming for many people who need human connection, friendship, and emotional support. Some people may have fantasies and kink preferences that they are able to fulfill with the services of a sex worker.”
While the inclusion of the piece in a teen magazine and the reasoning of the piece may seem to you to be morally reprehensible and horribly flawed, think again. Sure, for those of us who hold to a world view that values God-given human dignity, believes in freedom through the embrace of our full humanity as rooted in the image of God, and believes that the pursuit of sexual shalom is God’s life-giving will and way. . . well, the op-ed piece is a mark of our continued slide into the insanity of moral schizophrenia. But for those who are growing up in our brave new world built on a foundation of expressive individualism, this is nothing more than an accepted and logical conclusion. Ultimately, we’ve lost our collective mind.
So what should we do with this?
If you are a youth worker, I’d be making parents aware of the piece in Teen Vogue, along with its’ larger moral context. I’d also be letting parents know that even if their kids never access Teen Vogueor read this particular piece, they are engaging with peers who are steeped without thought or critique in this kind of believing and behaving. It will be communicated, lived, and rubbing off in the course of daily life. This is simply the way it is. So, parents must be processing this with their kids in age-appropriate ways.
Which leads to my next bit of advice. . . we must grasp the fact that this is certainly not the way its’ supposed to be. God’s good gift of sexuality is being distorted and denigrated in a variety of ways. What was once unthinkable is now normalized. But that doesn’t mean that normal is or should be acceptable. We must communicate the truth about sex, sexuality, sexual immorality, and sexual trafficking (both that which is willing, and that which is forced).
I have been wondering when the bottom would fall out on the foundational commonly-held belief that sexual trafficking is despicable and must be undone. Sadly, Teen Vogue is making me wonder if we taken the first horrible step in the direction of the abyss. This is not what it means “to save the world.” | <urn:uuid:066b0713-aaa4-4057-bf46-327fb201c0d0> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sexualintegrityinitiative.com/2019/07/08/teen-vogue-inviting-teens-to-legitimize-sex-work/ | 2024-03-03T01:42:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476180.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20240303011622-20240303041622-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.957461 | 1,108 | [

Model of Antibiotic Action on Bacterial Growth
Martin Evans (University of Edinburgh, UK)
In this talk I will describe a simple model for the growth of a bacterial population under the challenge of ribosome-targetting antibiotics. I shall endeavour to motivate why statistical physics lends itself to the study of bacterial dynamics. The model I will discuss is statistical physics-like in that it makes a coarse-grained description of the growth process, reduced to three variables within the bacterial cell – the antibiotic concentration, the concentration of ribosomes bound to antibiotics and the concentration of unbound ribosomes. Remarkably the model can explain several observations concerning antibiotic action and bacterial growth rate. In particular the growth-dependent bacterial susceptibility is controlled by a single, « universal » parameter and the extreme behaviours correspond to the phenomenological classification into bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics. The predictions of the model are backed up by experimental studies. | <urn:uuid:d3612f38-8685-4513-bdf4-2f464749397a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://www.lptms.universite-paris-saclay.fr/seminars/seminaire-du-lptms-martin-evans/ | 2024-03-04T12:50:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476442.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304101406-20240304131406-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.866205 | 190 | [

Uganda's Constitutional Court struck down the country's Anti-Homosexuality Act on Friday, giving new hope to the country's embattled LGBT people and human rights activists.
Kasha Jacqueline, one of the activists who brought the petition, tweeted her delight at the news:
In the five months since Uganda adopted the law, which imposes a sentence of up to life in prison for homosexuality and criminalizes advocating LGBT rights, LGBT Ugandans have lived under the constant threat of arrest or mob violence. The court's decision paves the way for organizations to again begin operating openly and to allow LGBT people to resume normal lives. But that change will come slowly — homosexuality remains a crime in Uganda under a provision of the penal code on the books before the Anti-Homosexuality Act was passed last December, and there is a chance of a surge in anti-LGBT violence in reaction to today's ruling.
The decision could also significantly ease international pressure on President Yoweri Museveni, who has been under pressure from the United States, the World Bank, and other important donors to get rid of the law or at least substantially weaken it through enforcement.
Ugandan journalist Andrew Mwenda tweeted from the packed courtroom:
The courtroom became something of a circus during the three-hour recess the judges called before issuing the ruling, according to people in the room. Anti-LGBT activist Pastor Martin Ssempa prayed loudly and got into arguments with multiple petitioners. Security eventually approached Ssempa to request he sit down.
The court struck down the law on procedural grounds, saying it was invalid because there was no quorum in Parliament when the legislation was passed on Dec. 20. (A quorum is the requirement that at least one-third of members are present when a vote is held.) The court was ruling on a petition brought by a group of 10 human rights activists, legal scholars, and opposition politicians. The court did not rule on the underlying question of whether anti-LGBT laws violate basic human rights, and so the pre-existing sodomy code, which was imposed when Uganda was a British colony, remains in place. Two men are currently awaiting trial under this provision.
Since the vote last year, there has been a 20-fold increase in incidents of anti-LGBT harassment, including blackmail, eviction, and torture, according to a study by Sexual Minorities Uganda. The country's largest human rights organization, the Refugee Law Project, has also had many of its activities shut down by the government, which alleges it was involved in "promoting homosexuality."
With the court's nullification of the law, "we become legal again," said Sexual Minorities Uganda Director Frank Mugisha, one of the petitioners. But this ruling won't make life better for LGBT people right away, he said. "Society won't give in," though there is "an open space and a [chance for] dialogue with the government" now that the law is gone.
Mugisha and other LGBT activists said before the ruling they were braced for a surge in violence. The law's supporters, like Ssempa and the leadership of the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda, had been whipping up their supporters during the two days of hearings before the ruling, and LGBT activists expected a backlash if they won.
"Many people are going to retaliate and attack community members," said Kasha Jacqueline of the organization Freedom and Roam Uganda, another of the petitioners. "People are going to retaliate — not just the members of Parliament and anti-gay groups and religious leaders, but in the community as well."
By dismissing the law on procedural grounds, the Constitutional Court sidestepped ruling on the question of whether LGBT rights are protected by fundamental rights protected by the Ugandan constitution. It also does nothing to stop Parliament from passing the law again with a quorum present.
Ssempa told BuzzFeed outside the courtroom that he suspected the court had been corrupted, and would demand an appeal of the ruling to the Supreme Court and an investigation by Parliament into the independence of the judiciary.
"This decision is a legal travesty. It is an insult to all family-culture-loving people in Uganda," Ssempa said. "Is there possibility that the president traveling to Washington next week could be the reason why this case was hurried at lightning speed? ... We just wonder if indeed our country is independent, and we want to ask the parliament to investigate the independence of the judiciary."
In a press conference Friday afternoon, the bill's sponsor, MP David Bahati, expressed confidence that the attorney general will appeal the ruling.
"Our competent legal team will continue to petition the Supreme Court and I believe we will win," Bahati said. "The court case ruling is no victory at all, the morals of the people of Uganda will prevail."
Bahati also could try to get another vote on the bill in Parliament with a quorum present. But the law's opponents think the chances he'll succeed are slim. Re-passing the law would require starting the legislative process from the beginning, including committee hearings and receiving certification of its financial impact from the finance ministry. If the government of President Yoweri Museveni does not want the bill to pass again, the finance ministry could silently kill the bill simply by withholding certification.
"Someone will try," said Nicholas Opiyo, one of the attorneys who argued against the law before the Constitutional Court. "I don't think it will come back immediately. It will take some time. But the dynamics here change quite rapidly and it might not come back at all."
The speed with which the court moved to reach a ruling had many speculating that it was acting on orders from Museveni to dispose of the legislation. The court wasn't scheduled to take up the challenge to the law until September, but then abruptly announced last week that it would begin hearings this Wednesday. It began hearing arguments despite the objections of the representative of the attorney general, Patricia Mutesi, who may still appeal the order to proceed to the Supreme Court. But if political pressure had been put on the court to strike down the law, the same pressure could likely be used to get the attorney general's office to quietly drop its efforts to uphold the law.
This is the third important ruling from the Ugandan judiciary in support of LGBT rights, and it could reverberate throughout the region, where several other countries are considering similar laws. It shows that courts are willing to support LGBT rights even in east African countries where politicians have concluded being anti-LGBT is good politics. It also comes shortly after a Kenyan court ordered government officials to allow a trans rights group to officially register their organization. Other LGBT rights cases are pending in Kenya, as well as in Malawi and Botswana.
The law's defeat could quickly unlock important funding streams for the Ugandan government, which relies heavily on foreign aid. The health ministry had made a concession to the World Bank in June in an attempt to get access to a $90 million health care loan that had been on hold since Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Act in February, releasing guidelines that attempted to ensure LGBT patients would not be endangered by access to health services.
It is not immediately clear how Friday's ruling will affect U.S. sanctions announced in June, which include denying entry to Ugandan officials who have been involved in human rights abuses. Some human rights advocates were already critical that the U.S. immediately undermined that decision by inviting Museveni to participate in an African Leaders Summit being hosted by the Obama administration in D.C. next week.
LGBT activists now turn their work to the much harder job of rolling back the colonial-era sodomy law and trying to undo the anti-LGBT sentiment stirred up over the four years that the bill has been under consideration. That will not fade quickly.
But, said Kasha Jacqueline, "It's a big step forward if the law is scrapped, because many people are taking the law into their own hands."
"If the law is gone, it's easier, then the police are obliged to protect," said Frank Mugisha. But, he said, "the struggle is still long."

Today’s Norwegian folk dancing is thought to have started sometime in the mid seventeenth century. As Norwegians emigrated to other countries beginning in the eighteen hundreds, they took their Norwegian dances with them and continued to dance them in their new country.
In countries outside of Norway the dances remained somewhat “frozen in time” and tend to focus on retaining the core movements of each dance. These dances are still done in Norway today with both subtle and rich variations, characteristic of a living tradition.
Norwegian dancers perform in the national Norwegian bunad, a folk costume. The unique bunader(bunads) and other traditional dress from the many different regions of Norway always assure an interesting visual spectacle.
Our family came from western Norway and they brought with them these old, romantic tunes that they taught us. We play Gamel Norsk Musikk (Old Norwegian music) including waltzes, schottische, reinlander, pols, polka and even a tango & jig!
Our band members:
Chris Svehaug – accordion, Dusty Tea – mandolin & accordion, Lyle Leiser – guitar, Mike Winter – string bass and Ruthi Winter – violin

Get to know us in our Backstage at CCPA blog. Contributors are students, faculty, and members of our community.
Public Relations Liaison Michael D. Reid talks with physical theatre mentor Stacey Horton about the upcoming festival, and her own award-winning work.
It seems only natural that Stacey Horton would have been invited to participate in the upcoming Festival of New Works as a mentor to three Year II Canadian College of Performing Arts students who are creating and developing physical theatre pieces as their mentorship projects.
Like festival participants who are encouraged to creatively have their voices heard, guided by mentors in disciplines such as choral music, directing, playwriting, spoken word, choreography, film, musical theatre and stage management, Horton has herself been mentored while innovatively telling a personal story, as she did with her dance piece Concussion.
The Victoria-based independent dance theatre artist, choreographer and new College faculty member won the 2018 Chrystal Dance Prize for Independent Artists for Concussion. The prize money took Horton to Germany to collaborate with renowned Berlin dramaturge Gabe Beier during a two-week residency. Concussion then premiered at Berlin’s Ada Studios last summer.
Inspired by Horton’s own experience, her fusion of dance, music, voice and visual effects to convey the disorienting and terrifying experience of struggling with the trauma and recovery from having had multiple concussions began life as a workshop production with Dance Victoria in September of 2017. An expanded version featuring live soundscapes by composer David Parfit was presented in January at Intrepid Theatre Club.
Horton said it took her awhile to realize she had suffered a concussion when a set made from a PVC pipe collapsed and hit her on the head during a rehearsal for a show she was working on in 2016. First came the headaches, then a feeling of fogginess, memory problems and anxiety, as well as having to deal with being stigmatized and losing a sense of self.
“I feel fortunate that I got this chance to present my story,” said the physical theatre instructor whose piece featured ping pong balls scattering around the stage to evoke fragmented memories.
Researching the subject for her piece that uses humour, visual ingenuity and drama to evoke the emotional experience of living with a concussion, Horton said her interaction with representatives from Cridge Centre for the Family’s Brain Injury Services was an eye-opener.
“I learned there are so many people who don’t want to admit this,” says Horton, who leads a normal life but admits she sometimes wonders whether it’s the concussion that made her just bump into something, or suddenly forget a word. “There’s a high level of denial.”
She said she was also surprised to learn how many lives have been touched by brain conditions.
“A fellow dancer said ‘My mom had concussions,’” Horton recalled. “Everybody knows somebody. The brain is so complex, whether it’s a concussion, or a brain injury down to Alzheimer’s.”
Horton was heartened to hear that Concussion had inspired some College students who had come to see it.
“She said, ‘This is exactly the kind of show I want to do,’” Horton recalled one Year II student saying.
The pieces that the students Horton is mentoring are creating in collaboration with performers are generally movement, dance and theatre-oriented, she says.
Tentatively titled Mujer, Regina Rios is developing movement piece about the experience of being a woman in sections such as birth, discover, play, menstruation, body image, catcalling and reconciliation.
“It recalls her experiences growing up in Mexico and her relationship to the country itself,” Horton said. “Regina is using a song that she found with lyrics that have been inspiring her.”
For Dreamcatcher, Geri Schaer works with shadows and projection to depict an imaginary, dreamlike world inhabited by make-believe characters as seen through a child’s eyes.
To create I Am…, Pedro Siqueira, who has a strong dance background, is pushing himself by creating something that is not exclusively dance-based, says Horton.
“In each rehearsal he shows something he has found online,” she said. “He’s moving around mirrors on wheels. He has some found text, a poem, and it’s in four sections, with an overture, solid movement and then theatrical interactions between performers.”
Horton says the Festival of New Works is valuable in that it provides a rare opportunity for students to create and stage their own work from material that inspires them.
“They have so many opportunities to perform in plays but this is an opportunity for them to put together something that lets them have their voice and just test it out,” she said.
Director of Education and Programming Heather Burns said the festival is one of her favourite events because it gives students a chance to showcase their creative strengths.
“It allows students to shine creating projects that come from their area of passion and interest,” she said, adding it also nicely complements the work Horton does with them in class.
“We’ve had quite a resurgence in interest in physical theatre so it’s great having Stacey able to step in and bring her expertise, to share that load with our other Physical Theatre mentor & faculty lead, Treena Stubel.
“I love the chance it gives her to work with a really small group of students in this way, to bring her own creative voice and process into the college, which is a wonderful opportunity for a new faculty member to be able to do.” | <urn:uuid:103c1b38-8523-4b0d-89dc-ce56827f09cb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.ccpacanada.com/2019/03/14/backstage-innovation-comes-naturally-to-festival-mentor/ | 2024-02-24T00:03:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474470.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223221041-20240224011041-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.975167 | 1,206 | [

Relationships, in their most simplistic form, are merely a series of expectations. Problems occur when two different sets of expectations collide or when expectations change within the relationship. Maybe you always dreamed of being in a marriage where weekends were spent traveling and exploring new places. Meanwhile, your spouse’s idea of a good weekend consists of cuddling on the couch with a couple bowls of ice cream.
Although differences like this may seem insignificant, without communication of expectations, they can snowball into larger problems within the relationship. To begin opening the pathways of communication on expectations, reflect on the following questions.
- What do I want that I am not getting?
- What am I getting that I don’t want?
- What am I giving that I don’t want to give?
- What would I like to give?
- What am I getting that I do want?
- What can’t I offer that my partner expects?
- What expectation is most important to me to uphold?
By taking the time to understand which expectations are being met and which are not, you and your partner can better clarify what you each want to put into the relationship and to get out of it. Make each item as honest and precise as possible.
If you want to express that you are currently getting suggestions for solutions to problems instead of an empathic listener, explain to your partner exactly what your expectation is. Likewise, if your partner requests more space immediately after he or she gets home from work, understand where your partner is coming from and realize that these expectations are not criticisms, but evidence that you and your partner are invested in bettering your relationship.
To make the process of clarifying expectations as respectful and open as possible, make sure that no topic is off-limits. Express your expectations to your partner and listen as he or she expresses differing expectations. Once both sets are understood, brainstorm an agreement. This process solidifies the fact that you and your spouse are, in fact, together in the decision-making process regarding the relationship. Create a shared expectation with which you are both satisfied and hold yourself to it. If you see yourself or your partner straying from the compromise, take action to honor the agreement.
Clarifying expectations can improve aspects of your relationship that you never knew needed improvement. By discussing expectations, differences are resolved before potential arguments can occur and working together to agree on expectations aids you in establishing a loving, equal partnership.

Several weeks ago, Twitter for iPhone was updated with a number of new features. Perhaps the most prominent and undoubtedly hated feature was the QuickBar, which quickly earned the Twitter hashtag #dickbar. It was permanently stuck on your main timeline showing you trends you didn’t really care about – trends that were typically generated by crazy teen fads or weird events going on elsewhere. Users decried the addition of the QuickBar, but instead of removing it, Twitter simply adjusted it by making sure it didn’t overlap tweets.
Today, Twitter announced that it is finally getting rid of the ugly, obtrusive and obnoxious QuickBar. The company says in its blog:
Rather than continue to make changes to the QuickBar as it exists, we removed the bar from the update appearing in the App Store today. We believe there are still significant benefits to increasing awareness of what’s happening outside the home timeline. Evidence of the incredibly high usage metrics for the QuickBar support this. For now, we’re going back to the drawing board to explore the best possible experience for in-app notification and discovery.
Yes, it is important to know what’s going on outside of one’s home timeline, but that’s what other news outlets are for. The value of Twitter is that users get to pick and choose friends, celebrities, news sources and important figures so that their stream contains exactly what they want to learn and discover every time they fire up the app. And while the usage metrics for the QuickBar are high, how many of those might have been accidental touch events or users hoping that by messing with it somehow, it will go away? That’s speculative, of course, but Twitter and blogs and even iTunes reviews were obvious in their resentment of the QuickBar.
If you’ve abandoned the official Twitter for iPhone app because of the QuickBar, today is the day to go back. Oh, and Jack Dorsey, if this had anything to do with you coming back, I love you.
Now if you’d all bring back the option to use our own link shortening services, that’d be great.

Perhaps in an attempt to cash in on the Indiana Jones craze sweeping the nation (not to mention this blog), a treasured crystal skull was stolen from a New Age store in Claremont, California.
Let me just point out that I was nowhere near California on the date in question.
Perhaps authorities should begin by questioning the two three young men (?) responsible for grave robbing to retrieve a skull to use as a bong. I was surprised to learn of the laid-back nature of the store. Although they have never had any trouble with shoplifting in the past, it would seem that such a high profile item would draw considerable attention. As with the MacGuffins (the Ark of the Covenant, Sankara stones, and the Holy Grail) used in the previous 3 Indy adventures, the crystal skull does have its basis in reality perhaps just not as widely known as some of the others.

In this article, we will briefly discuss step by step construction procedure of a house. The requirement of each project is different; therefore, we shall establish the general concepts of residential house construction that can be implemented in a more or less similar fashion.
Every project goes through five stages, i.e., initiation, planning, execution, monitoring-controlling, and closing. The construction project of a house also goes through the same five stages.
The five stages of a construction project are categorized under three heads, i.e., pre-construction, construction, and post-construction. The pre-construction stage involves conceptualization, designing, planning, contractor finalization, financing, etc.
The construction phase involves procurement of raw materials, work execution, quality checking, etc. The post-construction activities deal with the project closing and handing over for its use.
Construction Procedure Of House
1. Pre-Construction Stage
A project starts with an idea, a purpose, or a need. The owner sets expectations for the project. The house location, the number of rooms, parking space, open area, carpet area, floors, etc., are underlined. The owner also sets an initial budget and the financing source.
ii) Drawings And Specification
After the initial estimates and scope finalization, the preliminary design is considered. The house layout is finalized, followed by a detailed design with structural and architectural requirements.
The designs and drawings are prepared for architecture, structural, MEP, and finishing. The specifications for material quality are detailed along with the design.
The project scope and material specifications rely heavily on the project budget. The construction methodology is also finalized.
The changes are inevitable in the project; however, give due care in the planning phase to clarify and freeze as many points as possible.
The house layout needs approval from the district authorities like a municipal corporation, fire department, etc. The statutory requirements fulfillment takes time and, therefore a prime reason for the delay in projects.
For a residential project, the state and local government enlists the statutory requirement. Some approvals are layout approval, water, and electric connections, sewerage connection, Rainwater harvesting, etc.
iv) Teams & Workforce
The construction of a house needs a team of skilled and unskilled labors, supervisors, engineers, and construction equipment. Float the tender for the work. The contractors submit their quotes for the construction work.
Check the contractor’s records for quality, cost, and timely completion of previous projects. Award the contract to the consistently performing contractor (it might not be the L1 bidder).
v) Preliminary Survey
After finalizing the contractor, conduct a site visit with the contractor and consultant. Check for potential obstructions and hazards. The site visit helps avoid delay and over-budgeting. The site visit may include:
- The plot and boundary measurement.
- Entry-exit points.
- Construction material storage.
- Marking off all the existing amenities like electric lines.
- Water lines.
- Sewerage lines.
- Leveling requirements.
2. Construction Stage
a. Sub Structure Work
Mark the layout on the plot and establish at least one benchmark for level and measurement. Excavate the foundations as per the excavation drawing.
The excavation drawing marks only the PCC area for the foundation. However, excavate 1-1.5 m extra on all sides of the foundation to facilitate the working.
ii) PCC Work
PCC stands for Plain Cement Concrete of grade M7.5-M10. The PCC provides a leveled surface to the foundation work. It has a thickness of 75 mm – 100 mm.
The area of PCC is slightly larger than the foundation size. Provide an offset of 75-100 mm (equal to PCC thickness) on all sides of the foundation.
iii) Footing Work
Footing reinforcement work starts the next day after PCC, followed by shuttering work and concreting. Since a footing is the base of the whole structure, take extra care in work quality.
iv) Backfilling Work
After footing casting, remove the shuttering and cure the footing. The pits excavated for the foundation are filled with soil and compacted by a suitable method. Compact the soil till it achieves 95% compaction (of MDD).
v) Plinth Work
A plinth level is a floor finished level. The structure below the plinth level is filled with soil and called sub-structure. The superstructure is the structure above the plinth.
The plinth level is designed to be a minimum of 300 mm higher than the natural ground level. A plinth beam connects the columns at the plinth level. It acts as a benchmark for further construction activities.
A structure prone to water seepage has poor hygiene and lower aesthetics. One of the prime sources of water seepage is ground. Hence, waterproofing at the plinth level is an essential activity. Standard waterproofing chemicals and expert supervision are advisable for waterproofing work.
b. Super Structure Work
Ground floor column work starts after completing the substructure work. With plyboard shuttering, columns take 2-3 lifts up to the 1st-floor beam bottom—the total height of a single lift for plyboard shuttering is 2400 mm.
ii) Ground Floor Slab
The beam centering and reinforcement work start as early as 24 hours after the completion of column casting. After the reinforcement of beams, slab centering starts, followed by slab reinforcement. Plan the casting day and check the weather for that day.
iii) First-floor Work
After completion of the 1st-floor slab, the structural work for the floors above is mostly repetitive. Take care of the shuttering material quality before repetition.
3. Post-Construction Stage
a. Finishing Works
The walls are of two types-internal and external. The external walls protect the house from intrusion and weather, while the internal walls divide the house into rooms.
The thickness for the exterior brick wall of the ground floor is 230 mm, and 115 mm for the interior brick wall. A wall can be made of red-clay brick, fly ash brick, concrete block, etc.
The wall openings for doors and windows are left as per the drawings. It is convenient to install the door and window frames with the wall work.
ii) Plaster Work
Plaster is a layer of mortar that provides a smooth finish to the brickwork. The plaster thickness depends upon the roughness of the wall. A single coat of plaster is sufficient for the internal walls and two coats for the external walls of the building.
iii) MEP Work
Electricity and water are the basic need to live in a house. The electrical and plumbing fittings start after the plasterwork. W/C and kitchen floor waterproofing is advisable to prevent water seepage and dampness.
iv) Tiling & Flooring
The flooring for a residential house has many methods depending upon the need and budget. Concrete flooring, stone flooring, wooden flooring, etc., are used. Ceramic tiles are set in the walls to improve the aesthetics of the house.
5) Gypsum / POP/Putty Finish Work
The interior beautification of slabs and walls uses gypsum or plaster of Paris. The thickness of gypsum/POP work varies from 12-25 mm.
6) Utilities & Other External Works
The connection of interior fittings for plumbing, electrification, and sewage comes under the utilities. Some external works like the garden, porch, driveway, and pathway improve the house’s aesthetics from the outside. Boundary and gate work protects the outside intrusion.
7) Painting Work
Painting is generally the last activity in the house construction procedure. The distemper or putty applied to the plastered wall smoothens the plaster surface.
The distemper or putty makes the plaster surface ready for the paint. The painting takes 2-3 coats with the application of primer followed by the paint.
8) Terrace Work
The terrace is protected from water seepage by waterproofing. The brickbat Coba waterproofing technique is the oldest and is generally used in India.
Bitumen sheet and polymer-based waterproofing are other methods that are used for terrace waterproofing. China chip flooring is the popular flooring method used on the terrace. | <urn:uuid:02c59935-21ea-4eb6-abce-834a1f33ab94> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://dailycivil.com/house-construction-procedure-step-by-step/ | 2024-02-26T16:35:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474661.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226162136-20240226192136-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.89326 | 1,750 | [

It seems like a simple way for the children to manage mom’s finances: add the grown children as owners to a bank account, brokerage account or make them joint owners of the home. However, these short-cut methods create all kinds of problems for the parent’s estate and the children themselves, says the article entitled “Estate planning: When you take the lazy way out, someone will pay the price” from Florida Today.
By adding an adult child as owner to the account, the child is being given 50% ownership. The same is true if the child is added to the title for the home as joint owner. If there is more than $30,000 in the account or if the asset is valued at more than $30,000, then the mother needs to file a gift tax return—even if no gift tax is due. If the gift tax return is not filed in a timely manner, there might be a gift tax due in the future.
There is also a carryover basis in the account or property when the adult child is added as an owner. If it’s a bank account, the primary issue is the gift tax return. However, if the asset is a brokerage account or the parent’s primary residence, then the child steps into the parent’s shoes for 50% of the amount they bought the property for originally.
Here is an example: let’s say a parent is in her 80s and you are seeing that she is starting to slow down. You decide to take an easy route and have her add you to her bank account, brokerage account and the deed (or title) to the family home. If she becomes incapacitated or dies, you’ll own everything and you can make all the necessary decisions, including selling the house and using the funds for funeral expenses. It sounds easy and inexpensive, doesn’t it? It may be easy, but it’s not inexpensive.
Sadly, your mom dies. You need some cash to pay her final medical bills, cover the house expenses and maybe a few of your own bills. You sell some stock. After all, you own the account. It’s then time to file a tax return for the year when you sold the stock. When reporting the stock sale, your basis in the stock is 50% step-up in value based on the value of the stock the day that your mom died, plus 50% of what she originally paid for the stock.
If your mom bought the stock for $100 twenty years ago, and the stock is now worth $10,500, when you were added to the account, you now step into her shoes for 50% of the stock—$50. You sold the stock after she died, so your basis in that stock is now $5,050—that’s $5,000 value of stock when she died plus $50: 50% of the original purchase. Your taxable gain is $5,450.
How do you avoid this? If the ownership of the brokerage account remained solely with your mother, but you were a Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD) beneficiary, you would not have access to the account if your mom became incapacitated and had appointed you as her “attorney in fact” on her general durable power of attorney. What would be the result? You would get a step-up in basis on the asset after she died. The inherited stock would have a basis of $10,000 and the taxable gain would be $500, not $5,450.
A better alternative—talk with an estate planning attorney to create a will, a revocable trust, a general durable power of attorney and the other legal documents used to transfer assets and minimize taxes. The estate planning attorney will be able to create a way for you to get access or transfer the property without negative tax consequences.

June 15, 2015:
The Law Offices of Joshua N. Garick filed a Prevailing Wage Act Law lawsuit on behalf of employees who performed construction related services such as drilling, boring and exploration work for the Green Line Extension (“GLX”) project.
CLICK HERE TO VIEW COMPLAINT
O’Leary, et al. v. New Hampshire Boring, Inc., et al.
U.S.D.C., D.Mass, C.A. No. 1:15-cv-12335-DLC
The complaint alleges that New Hampshire Boring, Inc. contracted with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (“MBTA”) and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (“MassDOT”) to supply services such as boring, drilling and other construction related services for the GLX project. Because this project was a public works construction job for the MBTA and MassDOT, the employees were required to be paid a “prevailing wage” that is set by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards in accordance with the Massachusetts Prevailing Wage Law (M. G. L. c. 149, § 27D). Instead, the Complaint alleges that the employees were paid approximately $35.00 per hour less than the wage they were required to receive. The complaint further alleges that the defendants failed to pay each employee overtime pay calculated at one and a half times the “prevailing wage.”
The plaintiffs seek $350,000.00 in damages, and the Complaint includes counts for violations of the Massachusetts Wage Act (M. G. L. c. 149, §148), violations of the Massachusetts Prevailing Wage Law (M. G. L. c. 149, § 27D), unpaid overtime wages, and quantum meruit. If successful, they are entitled to receive triple the amount of wages owed, plus attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses for having to file a lawsuit. The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts before Magistrate Judge Donald Cabell.
The Law Offices of Joshua N. Garick, P.C. has extensive experience in employment disputes, including wage/hour claims such as unpaid wages, unpaid commissions, unpaid overtime, unpaid vacation time, minimum wage violations, tips violations and improper tip pools, anti-retaliation laws, and misclassification of employees/independent contractors. In most instances, Massachusetts law allows an employee who sues their employee three times the amount they are owed, plus attorneys’ fees and costs they incurred to file a lawsuit. This provides great incentive for an employee to vindicate his or her rights when an employer violates the law by failing to compensate its employees for their hard work. If you have questions or concerns about the payroll practices of your employer, please contact us to discuss your legal options. | <urn:uuid:fe314579-9148-40bc-9d01-17dbbab3bd9b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://www.garicklaw.com/green-line-extension-employees-file-lawsuit/ | 2024-02-28T02:54:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474690.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228012542-20240228042542-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.948994 | 588 | [

Submission: March 24, 2018
Registration: March 24, 2018
Location: Tallinn, Estonia
Prizes: Please see details below
Type: Open Ideas
The Estonian Institute of Historical Memory has launched an international design competition to find the best designs for an international museum of the crimes of communism, which is to be established in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The objective of the design competition is to find a contemporary, attractive and visitor-friendly design for the museum’s architecture, exposition and interior design.
This museum is one of a kind in the world. The plan is to establish it on the shore of the Gulf of Finland right in Tallinn’s city centre in the Patarei complex, which is under cultural heritage protection.
The Patarei complex is one of Europe’s largest intact classicist style military installations. The museum is planned to an approximately 5,000 square meter area in the eastern part of the building, with authentic prison cells, an execution chamber, corridors, a prison lean with prisoners’ walkways and much more. The exposition of the planned museum introduces the causes of and crimes committed by communist regimes on a multi-level basis: from a global scale, the focus moves to the events in Europe, and finally to a more detailed overview of local history under communist rule.
Prizes: 40,000 euros are allocated for the competition’s awards, which is divided up as follows:
1st Prize 15,000 euros
2nd Prize 10,000 euros

Julie Fraser and I are enthusiastic about the potential for manufacturers to get more from their data following a briefing with enterprise search company Sinequa. Sinequa is tailoring their search applications to directly support manufacturers who want more holistic, integrated intelligence about their products and their business.
Being able to find and connect data across disparate systems is always a challenge, but even more important is what you do with it once you find it. Sinequa can integrate with a variety of systems to ingest, enrich, index, and present valuable manufacturing data in the proper context. For example, a Sinequa application could collect and display the various elements of a product digital thread from data spread across underlying systems like PLM, QMS, and ERP.
Sinequa also leverages AI to help users “converse” with the content. For example, they leverage large language models to surface and contextualize both structured and unstructured information about products that a typical employee would not have access to, or perhaps know existed, from related systems. It’s important to note here that Sinequa has developed a mature security model so users will not be presented with information they do not have permission to access.
These capabilities have the potential to provide a much richer, more holistic view of manufacturing data. This view can help manufacturers better understand their products and business and ultimately make better decisions. They’ve developed applications for a very compelling set of customers, including Alstom, Airbus, Northrop Grumman, and NASA, that they’ve helped with information-intensive processes like maintenance and support, among others.
We’re excited to see their progress and how the manufacturing community receives the application templates they’re developing. It will also be interesting to see how they partner with PLM vendors and potentially expand to operational data like MES. We’re excited to learn more. | <urn:uuid:cee15d7e-3cdf-4479-ac43-f4424b4e59ce> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://tech-clarity.com/enterprise-search-sinequa-insight/18729 | 2024-03-03T05:14:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476205.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20240303043351-20240303073351-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.955673 | 390 | [

Across Cultures and Generations is a virtual panel series with two main goals: to showcase local and community-based artistic talent, and to facilitate intercultural conversations on shared and different experiences of being racialized in the spaces within and around Chinatown, and more broadly, in so-called Vancouver.
Across Cultures and Generations is a collaboration between Chinatown Today and Massy Arts Society. We are seeking BIPOC artists (please see “On the definition of art and artist” below) in so-called Vancouver to apply to be part of a panel series, running from July to December 2021, that will give panelists an opportunity to:
- share their work with a virtual audience, and
- participate in a moderated conversation with other like-minded individuals, across cultures and generations, on topics such as, but not limited to, their relationship to their creative practice, and their lived experiences as BIPOC folks in Vancouver
Ready to apply? Click here for the application form.
- Across Cultures and Generation is a series of 3 panel events
- Each event will be roughly 1.5 hours
- Each event will feature two (2) artists
- The first half of each event will be an art showcase, while the latter will be a conversation between the artists and a moderator
- The moderated conversation of each event will be roughly structured around a theme relevant to being BIPOC artists in so-called Vancouver. The theme is not meant to be restrictive; panelists will be encouraged to be collaborators in the planning process, depending on their capacities. Once selected you are encouraged to bring your own ideas about how to showcase your work, and the kinds of conversations you’d like to have during the discussion
- Events will have ASL interpretation as well as live translation in the most relevant languages, depending on the cultural heritage and preferences of the artists in each event
- Events are spread out between July and December 2021, with possible extension to early 2022. There will be roughly six (6) weeks between each event. Exact date and time to be determined based on panelist availability
- Honorarium: Artists selected in the series will be awarded in the compensation of $250 each
Here are some of the themes that Across Cultures and Generations seeks to explore. Due to limited funding and capacity, we can only explore a few of them in this short series. However, these themes and associated prompt questions are malleable and adaptable to the panelists, and are merely there to give applicants an idea of where conversations can go. Please tell us which theme(s) interest you the most in the application form. If you think of another theme you would like to explore, please include it in your answer in the space provided.
- Caregivers/ Caregiving. Conceptualized with the intention to trouble notions of who can be mothers, caregivers, and how people and communities take care of each other. Caregiving through acts of service, food, and other expressions can look differently or similarly across cultures and generations. What do caregivers and caregiving look like for you?
- Agency. How does reclaiming agency as a racialized person inform the art you create, and the process through which you create it? How does art give the agency needed for healing? How can we understand agency in connection to our mental health and community well being?
- Queering traditions. In what ways does your practice queer tradition? How do we change traditions that often harm and marginalize queer artists, so they suit our own needs and the needs of our communities? How have queer traditions been lost and found through art?
- (Cyber)space as a site of creation. Where do you create your art? How does your art, whether digital or physical, stand in connection with your site of creation? How might these spaces of creation be contested, and how does your art resist or protest this? How does the physical space restrict or expand your practice?
- The art of bodily expressions – Who owns your body and its expressions? Who or what dictates your body’s agency? How is culture expressed through the body, whether it be one’s hair, makeup, tattoos, piercings, and/or other bodily modifications/expressions? How might these differ cross-culturally?
On the definition of art and artist
Many, if not all of us, have been told at one point or another in our lives that in order for the art we create to be worthwhile, we must be able to capitalize on it, make a living out of it, or that we must suffer financially and emotionally to make the process worthwhile. In other words, we exist in a society that devalues art and artists at the same time that it elevates a select few on a pedestal of success as measured by monetary gain and social prestige.
But the purpose of art isn’t, and hasn’t ever been money or influence, though both are certainly tempting: art is what allows us to share our emotional landscapes with others in intimate conversations, to find relief from the pressures of everyday life, and to find joy and belonging that sustain us. Art is defined by the artist. Across Cultures and Generations seeks to give BIPOC the space to define their practices, share them with the larger community, and receive compensation for it.
If you’re someone who is passionate about your artistic practice (whatever it may be; some examples include, but are not limited to: culinary arts, spoken word, literature, visual arts, illustration, drag, dance, comics, zines, photography, videography, design, media arts, songwriter/musician, etc.), and who wants to share your experience and art with like-minded communities (wherever you are in your journey), we strongly encourage you to apply. Across Cultures and Generations sits at the intersection between art and community, and we recognize that neither would be as impactful without the other.
On Chinatown as an (un)inclusive space
Despite its name, Chinatown hasn’t ever been a space just for those of Chinese descent; throughout its history, Chinatown has been a refuge for BIPOC individuals and communities from all walks of life. However, these histories are not always without tension and discrimination, and on the whole, the stories of non-Chinese and mixed-race Chinese BIPOCs in Chinatown have too often been overlooked in pursuit of more singular and palatable narratives.
Chinatown Today strives to hold space for these stories and conversations, not only for the sake of accountability, but because for better or for worse, these stories are part of Chinatown’s stories. Ultimately, Across Cultures and Generations aims to bridge Chinatown’s past and present by holding space for difficult conversations that are facilitated through the lens of art in its many forms. If you’re someone who has an artistic practice, and have or have had a relationship to Chinatown, whatever it may be, we once again strongly encourage you to apply.
Chinatown Today operates on the traditional and unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations. We recognize that as uninvited guests on these unceded lands, allyship means working to dismantle colonial systems of oppression through action on a daily basis. | <urn:uuid:9849f4a8-91e7-4d3b-abec-e20ed54a28ab> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.chinatown.today/2021/06/calling-all-artists-apply-for-the-across-cultures-and-generations-panel-series/ | 2024-03-04T14:21:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476452.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304133241-20240304163241-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.956727 | 1,548 | [

Spider-Man: Far From Home - No Extended Cut
The comic book hero adaptation Spider-Man: Far From Home is now Sony's most successful film. One of the reasons for its success is an extended cut, which was released in the US at the end of August 2019. For that, the beginning of the film was supplemented by some scenes in which Peter Parker still has a few errands to do before he can go on a school trip to Europe. In between he also beats up some criminals. But the extended cut doesn't seem to come to Blu-ray now, because only the first theatrical version is announced.
Instead, the new scenes will be shown as a separate short film, something the director himself had announced long before the second theatrical version/Extended Cut. This results from the detailed version information of the US Blu-ray. It can be assumed that it doesn't look any different in the rest of the world.

Cone-gratulations! Hungry circus bear successfully chases down an ice cream
- Bear named Tom bounds after a fearless man who’s running with the ice cream
- He picks up speed and catches up with the man who offers him the sweet treat
- Tom who is described as kind eats the entire ice cream and cone within seconds
This is the amazing moment a hungry circus bear chases down an ice cream carried by a fearless man running in a field.
The video was recorded in Sergiyev Posad, Moscow Oblast, Russia and features a bear, called Tom who is one-and-a-half years old.
At the start a man is recording himself running through a field and brown bear Tom can be seen over his shoulder.
The video was recorded in Sergiyev Posad, Moscow Oblast, Russia and features a circus bear, called Tom who is one-and-a-half years old
Playful Tom is bounding through the grass and starts to pick up speed, catching up in no time.
He is soon level with the man who is out of breath but smiling.
It then emerges that the man is carrying an ice cream in a cone.
Never taking his eyes off the sugary treat, Tom enthusiastically gets closer and opens his mouth.
Tom is soon level with the man and then happily eats his treat
The man lowers his hand and stops as Tom comes close and sticks his snout into the ice cream.
He then starts licking happily as the man holds the cone out and gives Tom his treat.
Within seconds Tom wolfs down the ice cream, eating every last bit, including the cone.
Within seconds the bear wolfs down the ice cream, eating every last bit, including the cone
The man starts to walk off leaving the contented bear finishing up his snack.
The man who recorded the footage on June 18 said Tom has a lovely personality.
‘He is very kind and not dangerous. We decided to do such a video as he runs after me and then eats ice cream.’
Many Russian circuses still feature bears which come from the vast, forest areas that cover much of the country. | <urn:uuid:a5b3cacf-a30f-4cfb-b6c4-addbd3ead9f3> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://expressdigest.com/cone-gratulations-circus-bear-successfully-chases-down-an-ice-cream/ | 2024-02-25T13:16:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474595.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225103506-20240225133506-00695.warc.gz | en | 0.977269 | 453 | [

Being the center of attention is an amazing feeling. Everyone enjoys it, even if they don’t want to admit it.
It feels good for everyone to be paying attention to you and to laugh, smile, and stare at your performance as a social being.
I don’t care how introverted you are or how “too cool for groups” you are – you love attention. We all do.
So this is how you GET the spotlight and how you USE it.
It is a tool like everything.
So let’s learn how to use this tool. | <urn:uuid:e5787173-0cdb-4a76-9ebd-b41b9ae56cc9> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.girlschase.com/content/get-people-you-and-be-cool-use-spotlight-video | 2024-02-25T12:51:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474595.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225103506-20240225133506-00695.warc.gz | en | 0.948832 | 123 | [

Democratic elections suffer from several shortcomings, including low voter turnout and the effects of inaccurate polling. Sergiu Hart suggests adopting a simple repeat voting procedure that aggregates the results of two equivalent rounds of voting to overcome some of these issues and produce more representative outcomes.
Suppose that it is two weeks after the Brexit vote, and there is a new vote on the same issue—what will the result be? Given the way the original vote went, will people change their minds and vote differently? Will the original results cause people who had not voted to cast their vote in this second round? Will the final result be different? (There are no clear answers to any of these questions, and one can easily provide arguments either way.) Now carry out a similar thought experiment regarding the latest presidential election in the U.S., or whatever your latest favorite, or unsettling, election is.
These are not just academic questions. A case in point is the petition launched before the Brexit vote that called for a second vote in the event of low participation and a narrow winning margin. The petition got only 22 signatures before the vote and more than two million signatures in the two days after the result was announced (ironically, the initiator was a “leave” supporter who believed that “leave” would lose).
That we ask these questions reflects the issues that beset democratic elections. One issue is low voter turnout, which at times is only one-half of the eligible voters or even less. Another issue is excessive reliance on polls: polls affect voters, despite repeatedly turning out to be quite far from accurate. This also relates to the low-turnout issue, as voters may decide not to waste their time voting if their candidate is sure to win or lose. Polls may also lead people not to cast their vote for their preferred candidate, if, for example, they do not want him or her to win by too large a majority, or if they want to voice a certain “protest” through their vote—only to find out that in the end their candidate did not win at all. Yet another issue concerns unexpected events that occur extremely close to election time, too late to be able to be addressed by the candidates. Examples include a terrorist attack, the publication of false information, bad weather, and so on. What is common to many of these situations is that people might want to change their vote or their decision not to participate in the election once they see the actual results and how these came about.
To address these and other issues, I propose the use of the following repeat voting procedure:
- Voting is carried out in two rounds.
- Every eligible voter is entitled (and encouraged) to vote in each of the two rounds.
- All the votes of the two rounds are added up, and the final election result is obtained by applying the current election rules (be they plurality, special majority, electoral college, etc.) to these two-round totals.
- The results of the first round are officially counted and published; the second round takes place, say, two weeks after the first round, but no less than one week after the official publication of the first round’s results.
What are the advantages of repeat voting?
Polls. The first round becomes a de facto giant opinion poll. However, because the votes of the first round count in the final result, it is a much more truthful poll; this is in contrast to the usual pre-election polls, where giving untruthful answers—whether intentionally or not—carries no cost. The combination of the large sample size and incentivized truthfulness makes the results of the first round a significantly more accurate predictor of the electorate’s views. It is thus crucial for the votes of the first round to count no less than the votes of the second round, which explains why we are adding up the votes of the two rounds, rather than having only the second round determine the outcome.
Participation. Voters who do have a preference, but one that is not strong enough to make them vote in the first round, may well be led to vote in the second round because of the results of the first round. Thus, participation in at least one round of the election is expected to increase. It is better that people vote even in one round than not at all. One indirect advantage is that people who vote may feel closer to the elected officials and to the democratic system in general.
In addition, since voters who have strong or extreme positions will most probably vote in both rounds, their relative weight in the final result will decrease when enough additional people are motivated to vote in the second round (which may well happen if such extreme positions get higher shares of the vote in the first round).
Representative results. The final results may be more representative because the second round makes it possible for the voters as well as for the candidates to “correct” any problems of the first round. These include the effects of wrong predictions by the polls, as well as any special circumstances and events that occurred close to election time (which are less likely to occur in both rounds). All this, again, can only increase the robustness of the results: they become more trustworthy and more accepted.
New reference point. The results of the first round become a new reference point, which may well affect a person’s choice in the second round: imagining a new situation and being in a new situation are not the same thing.
Strategic voting. People seem to be more strategic in their voting than is generally believed, but under current procedures they base their strategic decisions on possibly inaccurate polls. Repeat voting provides a much more solid basis. In close elections it is conceivable that the voting of the second round may be less strategic (and the other way around when there is a large winning margin in the first round).
In addition, in parliamentary elections where a party must achieve a minimal voter-share threshold to gain representation, many potential entrants try to convince voters that they have support that is higher than the threshold and so voting for them would not be a waste of one’s vote. In many cases, it turns out that these parties do not pass the threshold. Once this is seen in the first round, there will be many fewer such wasted votes in the second round.
What are the possible disadvantages of repeat voting?
Costs. A second round adds costs (however, in future voting that may be conducted online, these costs would become much smaller). The additional electoral campaign between the two rounds also increases the costs (but one should remember that two rounds are already used in various elections, albeit not two identical rounds as proposed here). One way to reduce costs is to carry out the second round only when the results of the first round are close (for instance, when the winning margin is below a certain threshold that is specified in advance).
Participation. There may be fewer voters in the first round if voters know they will have the chance to vote in the second round.
Bandwagon effect. Voters with strong or extreme positions, who are much more likely to vote in the first round, may have a big effect on the results of the first round, which may then have a bandwagon effect on the whole election.
One can think of other ways to overcome the problems associated with elections that we pointed out above. For example, one can repeat the vote three times, with the winner having to win at least two rounds (this applies only to two-outcome elections). Another possibility is to make voting mandatory (as some countries do); while this may resolve the participation issue, it does not resolve the significant polls issue discussed above. Yet another possibility is to weight the votes in the two rounds differently (for instance, depending on the total number of votes in each round). At this point, however, it seems best to leave it as simple and straightforward as possible.
In summary, repeat voting is a simple modification of many current election procedures that is capable of increasing voter participation and yielding more accurate and representative results. Everyone deserves a second chance, as the saying goes. Shouldn’t this include voters and candidates?

Grey and cold, yesterday in New York with temps running up to mid-40s midday and back to the 30s at night. It’s not an interesting forecast to this kid brought up with New England winters which defined this time of years, especially this holiday week and weekend. Easier for walking the dogs, however. And the weatherman says it’s going to get warmer and rain a lot over the weekend.
This is a kind of vacation week for many New Yorkers, and so it is for us here at the NYSD. However, today we are re-printing a book review by our friend Head Butler’s Jesse Kornbluth. It is a biography of Susan Mary Alsop. We were inspired by Mitch Owens “appreciation” of Oatsie Charles in yesterday’s NYSD, that Susan Mary’s story would be compatible. Susan Mary was also one of those grande dames, those ladies of another pre-women’s liberation era who asserted themselves anyway.
JH, in putting today’s edition together discovered a review I wrote of a book about Susan Mary written by her son William Patten Jr. which was published on these pages ten years ago. Whereas Oatsie Charles was a girl from the South, Susan Mary (who was born the same year) was a girl from the North with a lineage dating back to the beginning of the republic and our founders. Both women lived a good part of their adult lives in Washington in the heyday of the Democrats’ turn in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. No doubt they knew each other, or perhaps were even good friends. Although Susan Mary loved the international social scene. A lot.
A friend gave me a book for my birthday called “My Three Fathers” by William Patten. Mr. Patten had a famous mother. Not famous in terms of celebrity but famous among the famous. Her name was Susan Mary. Susan Mary Jay Patten Alsop, by the time she got to the end of her life. Mr. Patten’s book title references his “fathers” although the book is really about his mother.
She was married to a man named William Patten after whom the author was named. When the author was in his early forties, however, he was startled to learn from his mother that his biological father was a man named Duff Cooper, an historically prominent British diplomat, with whom Susan Mary had had an affair when he was the British Ambassador to Paris.
The third father in the title’s reference is Joseph Alsop, the Washington journalist and pundit who was closely connected to Jack Kennedy when he was President. Joe Alsop had also been a Harvard classmate of “father” Bill Patten. When Patten died, Susan Mary, married Joe Alsop. It was old friends joining together.
Joe Alsop was also homosexual, which was not exactly a secret but also not talked about in polite company. And “polite” was the only company they talked about. This evidently was not an issue as the two shared many of the same interests in people and politics. Their house (his house) in Georgetown was a famous destination for the socially and politically select.
I met Susan Mary back in the mid-1990s in Northeast Harbor, Maine when, as a houseguest of mutual friends, I was invited for dinner. I’d often heard about her. The reputation which preceded was that of a clever, smart, witty woman who was very knowledgeable about politics and foreign affairs. She’d written a couple of books as well as certain high profile magazine pieces.
On meeting, I was surprised to meet a tiny, birdlike, frail character who was very much the New England grande dame, exceedingly simple and plain in her dress (like her house which overlooked the harbor, which was previously owned by her parents). The charisma that I had imagined was elusive. She did not look well and I’d already heard references to her “terrible illness.” Nevertheless, her presence added to that “charisma” to her friends. She was stalwart and not about to stop.
Her son’s portrait of this woman is very frank, yet gentle. She was obviously not a warm and cuddly mother. In fact, she sounds cold and remote. Reading about her I was reminded of other mothers of that generation that I have known, including my own.
These were people who wrote letters to express their sentiments, their opinions, their feelings and their passions. In many cases those are the only documents of the soul that dwelled in those times. They saw America grow up into the 20th Century and they grew up with it.
There was a sense of decorum about all this, and it was acted out in a matter of manners, comedy or otherwise. The followed the rules. They played by the rules, and everyone knew them. The cleverer ones played on their own terms, for their own reasons, but always under the guise of the rules.
The Susan Mary in Mr. Patten’s memoir is chic and sophisticated. She lived after the Second World War (with her husband and children – including a daughter Anne) in Paris and Washington, who moved easily and quickly through the villages of New York and Boston. On meeting that summer’s early evening in Northeast Harbor, I had no idea this woman was a “mother,” as naïve as that sounds.
She was formidable, and remote in that way easily attributable to New Englanders. She was friendly, but reserved. Many of the men and women at the table that night were very old friends, or relatives of very old friends. She held forth quietly but not meekly.
Mr. Patten’s book casts a far different light on the woman. In her young womanhood, she wasn’t what you’d call sexually alluring. At least not at first glance. She was very thin all her life, had no interest in food. She was not sensual although she drank a lot, which for much of her life she managed to conceal. When she was much older, her children and friends did an “intervention” to get her into AA. She went along with the initial excursion to a rehab but left it soon thereafter and never went back.
As a young woman, this woman, to judge from her photographs was not a beauty by any means. She was stylish and soigne in her way. She was interested in men who had power. Duff Cooper, for example, was a fixture in the British Establishment, born and bred. His wife Diana, once considered the most beautiful woman in England was famous for her beauty, her personality and for being famous. They were some of the “people” to know for ambitious young women and men in their 20s and 30s.
Duff Cooper also had lots of affairs, or “little” romances, and the women often chased after him with his wife sometimes encouraging them. These were very romantic people when it came to marrying their sentiments to sex. They wrote and read poetry to each other. “All Passions Spent” was the name of Vita Sackville-West’s novel. They also had to deal with Hitler. And deGaulle. And Mussolini. And Stalin. And Roosevelt. And Churchill (who was a life long friend of Cooper).
Susan Mary’s marriage, it would seem from her son’s book, was with a kind yet somehow ineffectual man (or a man who felt ineffectual). They shared socio-economic backgrounds, they were antecedents of the Eastern WASP Establishment that ruled the country and the society of that prosperous century.
They did just what girls and boys still do today to get ahead – those who are ambitious and want to get ahead. The template was different, however.
They were the last generation of women before the Women’s Movement came to the fore in the 1960s. They played the Men’s game and when they played it well, they got what Susan Mary got – a very good dinner partner and a good seat afterwards for demitasse.
They had influence which sometimes seemed like power. It was not earth-shaking. They didn’t mind that; being present was everything. That was the good news and, especially to a young woman today, the bad. Their art was their life. | <urn:uuid:0676ab84-c264-41c6-b505-2b314ab95b7f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/fathers-and-son/ | 2024-02-26T20:33:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474663.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226194006-20240226224006-00695.warc.gz | en | 0.992583 | 1,785 | [

Exploring possibilities with Generative AI
When asked to describe Generative AI, sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke’s third law comes to mind, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
This new technology may seem magic, but unlike the magic in many of our favorite fantasy books, Generative AI does have limits. While it certainly does create the potential for unlocking many new use cases, many of which certainly haven’t been thought of yet, there are many others that may remain impractical, be cost-prohibitive to implement and operate, or simply not be possible (yet).
When considering possible use cases for Generative AI, it’s vital to ensure that you have a foundational understanding of the capabilities of the AI model (such as OpenAI’s models) you want to use and how to implement it with your existing systems. Additionally, analyzing the related infrastructure and data costs compared to desired business impact and value can help expedite the use case prioritization process.
We offer 1-hour workshops designed to help organizations explore Generative AI use cases and help determine and prioritize possible use cases leveraging OpenAI (or other Generative AIs) on Azure. Let’s explore a few of the topics that we often cover in these workshops.
Understanding OpenAI’s Generative AI solutions and models is essential to understanding its potential use cases. Our workshops are an ideal opportunity for client stakeholders, including data scientists and business decision-makers, to ask questions and gain a stronger understanding of what the technology is capable of.
Infrastructure, data, and costs
Unlocking Generative AI use cases typically requires some level of data preparation and additional infrastructure, even if the AI is being integrated into an existing app or workload. Considering these preliminary activities can extend timelines and incur heavy costs depending on the level of effort required, it’s important to account for and scope for the costs to both implement and run Generative AI in your workloads.
Workshop attendees gain the opportunity to better understand the data and infrastructure requirements for their priority use cases helping them to prepare more accurate budgeting and development roadmaps.
Business impact and value
Generative AI can support a large swath of use cases out of the box, and even more with relatively limited development work. With such powerful capabilities, determining which use cases to prioritize can be challenging.
Our 1-hour Generative AI workshop is designed to help clients prioritize their use cases by mapping use cases to their anticipated impact and value, then comparing the value to the anticipated cost to implement the solution.
Integrating Generative AI with existing systems
Integrating Generative AI with your existing systems can be a potentially complicated and confusing process. Given that Generative AI solutions are still fairly nascent, the ease of integration can vary wildly depending on your use case, current tech stack and architecture, and the specific Generative AI technology you want to use.
For example, OpenAI and Microsoft have a strong partnership with Microsoft integrating OpenAI’s technology directly into many of their Azure offerings. Leveraging OpenAI in apps built on Azure will be a relatively quick and straightforward process. Integrating OpenAI with apps built on GCP via OpenAI’s API? That will be more complicated.
Our workshop provides clients with the opportunity to more accurately gauge the simplicity of implementing Generative AI in their solutions and discover whether there is a better way to achieve the same results.
How to get started with a Proof of Concept
Our workshops typically conclude with recommendations for the next steps, including a roadmap for implementing a proof of concept for your top priority use case. The recommendations we provide typically include technical guidance as well as information on any relevant Microsoft programs and offers that may relate to your proof of concept.

Curling = Morgan Plus 8
An old-fashioned sport done the old-fashioned way – slide a stone along an ice track with juuuuuuust enough momentum to get it to a centre spot for the most points, and all the while helped along the way by people with brooms. It sounds dull, sure, but it’s gripping to watch. It’s the kind of thing you’ll never get off your arse and play, but you like that it exists.
This, then, is much like a Morgan Plus 8. It’s an old-style car, made the old-style way, with a massive old-style V8 motor making it go very fast. It’s good fun to drive and people will love seeing it, but they won’t put the time in to have a go in one of their own.
Cross-country skiing = Renault Twizy
A combination of power-walking and sliding, cross-country skiing is an odd one. While it may seem glamorous, it’s a lot of work and takes huge physical strength to do with any semblance of skill. It’s one of those things that seems like a great idea until you, an actual human, has a go at doing it, falls over, snaps a bone/ligament and regrets the day you thought it’d be fun to try. This brings to mind the Renault Twizy.
Two people sit in a row, the acceleration is brisk and it’ll get round a corner better than you’d expect, but it also has granite dampers, plastic seats and no doors. You'll absolutely love it for about five minutes, but when you're dealing with hypothermia and impacted vertebrae, you'll wonder what the hell you were thinking.
Skeleton = Ariel Atom
Who fancies strapping themselves to a small frame and sliding down an icy slide? You do? Congratulations, you have little regard for your health. But hey, who are we to judge? It’s a sport that takes skill, nerves of steel, and a whole fistful of brave pills – much like driving an Ariel Atom. Like the skeleton there’s not much to it and it’s chuffing quick both in a straight line and around corners.
Ice hockey = TCR racing car
Lots of people, contact at every turn, nail biting moments every time you blink… Ice Hockey is fun as all get out to watch and requires some serious bravado to play. It’s remarkably similar to touring cars in that respect. Contact isn’t advised but it happens, the action is fast and exciting. Want ice hockey on wheels? Get yourself to a touring car race. Or buy yourself a TCR car like this VW Golf version...
Bobsleigh = Caterham Seven 620R
The idea of sitting in a bullet-shaped bathtub with a chum’s genitals smooshed into your back while you slide, mostly out of control, down a hill made of ice is not a good one, frankly. It's scary, brutal, and requires competitors to wear what looks like a multi-coloured, full-body condom to participate.
But what if you wanted to do something similar in a car? To this end bobsleigh rather like the Caterham 620R - a foolishly powerful Caterham complete with sequential gearbox. Sounds unfeasibly good fun. And it is. Until it loses traction and tries to kill you, which it will do on that corner, and that crest, and that seemingly perfectly dry stretch of road, and on that small patch of water, and quite possibly while you're sleeping peacefully in your bed and it's parked on the driveway.
If you relish the prospect of being barely in control, pretty much all of the time and at phenomenal speeds, the Caterham 620R is the car for you. And you don't even have to wear a full-body condom.
Slopestyle = Vauxhall VXR8 GTS-R
This one’s all about looking cool, being original, and making the biggest impression. Snowboarders and skiers are challenged to do ludicrous tricks and get big air off jumps to wow crowds and put smiles on faces – basically, be a slidey showperson. You want to look a bit different and do big tricks in a car? Well then… a Vauxhall VXR8 GTS-R is for you.
A massive, supercharged V8, meaty manual gearbox, all the driftability you could wish for, and as for looks - well you wouldn't get more attention if you walked down the road shouting 'Look at me! LOOK AT ME!' It's the car for those who want all of the spotlight, and right now. | <urn:uuid:3702dc8c-6aa5-480e-a9b9-819a11f0d97b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://uk.motor1.com/features/233147/winter-olympic-cars/ | 2024-02-29T14:54:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474843.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20240229134901-20240229164901-00695.warc.gz | en | 0.954856 | 1,005 | [
