There are a range of different tax-favored plans that people can participate in. The one that is available to them depends on their employment. Hence, this is not something that you have to think about too much. What is important, however, is that you take part in a plan, and that you put as much into it as you possible can. Any money you invest today is money that you can spend later. So what options are there?
Tax Deferred Plan
If your employer offers a tax deferred plan, it means that some of the money you earn is deducted automatically before you pay taxes on them, and that is then put into your plan. Usually, this will go into a mutual fund managed by insurance companies, banks, brokerages, and investment firms. Your employer may also match your contribution, which is an excellent added benefit.
If you work for a nonprofit, you can usually take out a 401(k). Educational establishments usually offer the 403(b)s. Some local and state governments offer the 457s.
It has been demonstrated that people in this country between the ages of 55 and 65 contribute around 8.8% of their pretax earnings to their retirement plans. Once they reach 65, this rises to 10.1%. This may be too much for you to manage now, but if you could increase your annual contribution each year by between 2% and 3%, it would make a really big difference. Interestingly, women tend to contribute more than men, probably due to them being aware that they live longer on the average.
If you meet the necessary income requirements, you can take part not just in your employer’s plan, but fund a personal IRA as well. The full contribution, which is $5,500 (unless you are over 50, then it is $6,500) can be tax deferred, so long as you did not earn more than $61,000 gross in 2016 ($98,000 if you are a married couple). If you earn more, you can still decide to open a personal IRA, if your income is freelance and used solely for the IRA.
It is also possible that you cannot access an employee plan. Then, opening a traditional IRA is the best option. It is a bit less profitable than the 401(k) because of the contribution limits, but it still offers an interesting tax break. Plus, you can make maximum contributions in the name of your spouse as well, if he or she does not have any earnings. You cannot fund them with income that you didn’t earn, such as rent, dividends, interest, pensions, or Social Security, however. Hence, if you earn less than the maximum contribution, then you will top out at your income level.
Those who are self-employed and earn a good income could consider a SEP-IRA (simplified employee pension), which is similar to a traditional IRA. The maximum contribution for this in 2015 was $53,000. If you work together with a spouse, then a SEP-IRA can be started for each of you. You must also include any employees you have had for three of the past five years. | <urn:uuid:25f4ef97-cc89-4382-ab52-2cdaa46fc10a> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.benephi.com/the-different-types-of-retirement-plans/ | 2020-08-04T23:39:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735885.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804220455-20200805010455-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.979869 | 647 | [

Piper methysticum, Wld/Naturally Farmed from Fiji
Use 5-10 drops, 1-2 dropperfuls or as much as a
teaspoon at a time. Dose frequency could be 1-2
times or several times a day as desired. Generally
best to start with less before increasing dose. For
acute situations use larger doses more frequently for
a few days. For chronic or mild conditions or for long-
term use, take smaller doses only once or twice a day.
Inform your health practitioner about herbal products
you use. Do not use herbal products to replace
necessary care by a qualified physician.
Avoid during pregnancy, nursing and some kinds of
depression. Not recommended for more than 3
months without medical advice. It could increase the
effect of alcohol, barbiturates and some drugs used
for psychological treatment and has the potential to
affect motor reflexes and judgment when driving or
operating heavy machinery. | <urn:uuid:2b86d649-6024-41e2-ab24-f2bf9ab188ed> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://cherylsherbs.com/products/kava-kava-root-liquid-extract | 2020-08-04T23:16:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735885.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804220455-20200805010455-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.926869 | 207 | [

|The great auk|
|Great auk by GE Lodge|
The great auk was a large bird, that could not fly. People hunted it for meat and feathers. It grew rare, because it was too easy to kill, and the ones left could not breed fast enough to make up for the lost ones. The last known great auks (there were two auks) were killed on June 3, 1844 in Iceland. It lived mostly in the water, like a duck.
The great auk was covered in black feathers, but had white feathers on its chest and abdomen. It had very short wings, like stubs, which meant it could not fly. On land it stood upright and was about 75 cm tall. They spent most of their time at sea, coming to shore in the summer to breed. They lived in large breeding colonies on low rocky islands in the north Atlantic Ocean from Canada to Norway. Females laid one egg on bare rock. In winter they went as far south as Florida and southern Spain.

After a wave of building exchanges to bring buyers online, some companies want to do more for sellers.
"Today the B2B [business-to-business] equation is unbalanced towards buyers," said Russ Henry, senior vice president of marketing at Trigo, one of several "sell-side" companies starting up. Trigo, which offers to hook up suppliers with Net markets, officially launched today, in partnership with e-commerce engine builder Ariba.
The companies believe that suppliers find it too difficult and expensive to enter Net markets, freezing out the liquidity that exchanges need.
For example, office supply company Staples wanted to build an online sales channel to give its biggest customers access through their own e-procurement systems. After building about a half-dozen systems, it estimated what it would cost to develop the channel for the next 100 customers. It was prohibitive, both in cost and time, Henry said. Thats when it hired Trigo, he said.
"We allow a single connection," he said, but cost isnt the only barrier to entry. "Most marketplaces dont let you put all your [products] online. They have capacity limits."
Comergent Technologies, another young company that also just struck a deal with Ariba, tackles this problem. Ariba will use Comergent software to make it easier for manufacturers to list product information on public and private exchanges. Suppliers with complex products often cannot publish their catalogs on exchanges because of limited memory or frequent changes. Comergent software lets a buyer in the exchange leave to visit the vendors catalog, select the product, then complete the transaction back in the exchange.
"Theres no channel conflict," said Jean Kovacs, president of Comergent.
Exchanges need to do more to attract sellers, she said. The idea for the software came to her at an Ariba conference where some people didnt share the enthusiasm about e-marketplaces.
"At that conference I sat down with suppliers, who were all thinking, Why would I want to do this? Im exposing myself to competition, my margins get cut down, I have a complex product, " Kovacs said.
International Data Corp. analyst Rob Rosenthal said attracting buyers still is more difficult than getting sellers, but what attracts sellers can attract buyers. "Its a nice addition," he said of the sell-side products. | <urn:uuid:a7a68b18-7f9e-4760-be51-ed07c0ac007f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.eweek.com/news/net-market-builders-focus-on-suppliers | 2020-08-08T06:16:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737289.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808051116-20200808081116-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.966915 | 492 | [

On Thursday night in Baltimore, Red Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino spoke, blaming the “jaded and cynical media” for much of the team’s issues. On Friday, Andy Gresh opened Gresh & Zo with a passionate rant about the Red Sox. It is transcribed below.
Welcome to all of the problems in Red Sox Nation, Boston. Welcome to all the problems with the Boston Red Sox, if you’re to listen to Moe, Larry and Curly, the people who run that organization.
The root of all evil for the Boston Red Sox lies right here, in sports radio hosts. We’re the devil. We’re the reason they’re losing. I’m jacked up today. I’m insanely pissed off at the assertion and the notion that — and Rich Shertenlieb just said it walking out of the room — I guess there’s 38,000 media members who are sitting in the seats at Fenway Park whenever Josh Beckett sucks and he gets booed. I guess it’s just a bunch of media members who are, oh I don’t know, leaking information to other media members to get the facts wrong about every situation with the Red Sox. I guess it’s just us bastard media people who are leading you sheep Red Sox fans down the road of a lack of enlightenment.
It’s almost as if we’re preachers, and we’re standing atop the bully pulpit and there’s a big Yankee logo underneath us. And we are leading you to rise up against the Red Sox! And we are leading you to all the false truths! And we are leading you down the road of lack of righteousness in rooting for the Red Sox!
That’s what they want all of the sycophants and everybody to believe, right? Just, we’re the bastards, we’re the A-holes, we’re the root of all evil.
It’s a joke. It’s all wrong. It’s all wrong. You know why? Because it was “just another meeting.” This was a part of the “seasonal maintenance” that the Boston Red Sox have done every year.
Tom Werner said in 10 years of these kinds of meetings, they’ve never had information get out like this.
Why don’t we just start right there? How about this: Has anybody asked the Boston Red Sox (the ownership who made a big deal that they came in from Denver to go to Baltimore yesterday to be there for their team) if these meetings have been around since Terry Francona, when was the last one they had before the big one in New York? When was it? When did they have these meetings that they say they have every couple of months during the season where the owners sit down with “team leaders”?
Afterwards you had Ben Cherington, coming out after the meeting. If Ben Cherington comes out afterwards and says “We didn’t go on the run we expected after the meeting,” then I guess that’s different from the normal meetings you would have to just kind of take the temperature of the team, right?
They come after a bitchfest. And you know what? If all of us here at The Sports Hub, if Toucher & Rich, and us, and Felger & Mazz, if everyone had an issue here at The Sports Hub, our boss would either be standing in here right now to listen to everybody or we would go in the conference room, and they would figure out a way to get something on the air, and everybody would go into the conference room, and it would be the Frank Costanza Festivus “Airing of Grievances.”
That’s more what it was like. John Henry came to New York. He got the pole out of the crawlspace, he set it up in the middle of the room, and everybody had the airing of grievances.
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but the way these meetings have been positioned since Terry Francona was here, it’s more “take the temperature,” not “let’s get an issue on the table and figure it out.” Did the general manager come away from those other maintenance meetings saying, “Well, we didn’t go on the run we expected after that meeting”?
So what are they? Are they just maintenance meetings? Or did that one have a little bit of a different kind of tone to it?
And they put the pole back in the crawlspace and they thought, “15-5, here it comes! Here comes the run!” And what happened? Turded out.
One other point about the owners coming to Baltimore … the owners showing up yesterday is like a guy on a diet. “Honey! Hey, honey! I’m eating a salad! Look how good I’m doing, honey! Ooh, I’m eating a salad in front of you!”
Meanwhile, you’re hitting the drive-thru and you’re getting two Whoppers with extra cheese and you’re eating those while driving the car on the way home because she can’t see you. That’s what it’s like. “Hey! Looky! Fans! We’re here!” That’s what it’s like. It’s like a guy on a diet. He’s making sure that when he goes to the gas station, he’s throwing away all the fast food bags so when she looks at the car, she doesn’t yell at you, and you make sure you eat that salad in front of you to keep up the facade that you’re doing a good job.
When Larry Lucchino says, “We have to remember the jaded, cynical media does not speak for … they don’t necessarily capture the voice of the fan base.” Do you know why it doesn’t capture the voice of the fan base? Because you’ve changed it. You’ve changed it into a bunch of pink hat-wearing, Kumbaya/Sweet Caroline-singing, brick-buying dopes who go, “Oh, strike three!” like the owner does when he’s in there on NESN. That’s what you’ve got.
You’ve changed the fan base into the people who will walk up to you and go, “Oh, Larry, you do such a good job, let me get you a nice pat on the bum because you’re trying hard, the ballpark looks great, we know you’re spending money, we believe in you.”
No, Larry Lucchino. The fact of the matter is that as much as you stand there and you try to insult not only what we do, which is talk about the real stuff going on with this team, you try to insult the people who listen to sports radio in this city who call up and complain and who want their voices heard and who want you to know they’re not happy. But those are the people you’re not used to hearing from. You’re used to making the references of someone who works for the Rockies organization who’s from Worcester, who comes to you and gives you a hug and says, “Oh, I still love my Red Sox, even though I live in Colorado.” Those are the people who you view as the fans.
In fact, I wrote it down: We want you to care, but don’t care too much that you’re going to complain.
Well, you know what? The people who call this radio show, and Toucher & Rich, and Felger & Mazz, and D.A. … they’re the people who care and they care a lot. Because they might just might actually log on to RedSox.com and maybe buy a jersey for their kid. Or they might go buy some Fenway Franks when they finally get a seat to plunk their ass in Fenway Park. But you know what? Those are the people that you don’t hear from anymore, because instead it is the pink hat, B-loving, oh-my-god-Jacoby-Ellsbury-is-so-hot fan base that you’re used to bending over for because they bow down and they kiss your ass.
Those days are gone. Welcome to the way it used to be. Welcome to accountability and people who do care. And if you want to denigrate how it’s done, the form in which it’s done, and the people who are sending the message, then you really are that ignorant, and you don’t get it. | <urn:uuid:922917c6-a6bd-4026-baa5-e572f1f660f1> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/08/17/gresh-lucchino-red-sox-prove-their-ignorance-by-blaming-the-media/ | 2020-08-09T21:27:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738573.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809192123-20200809222123-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.954033 | 1,904 | [

The simplicity of this recipe made it 100% worthwhile. It was delicious, and impressed the guests! I made two at a time. Cooking it at 6200ft. of altitude provided one single challenge: getting the apples to caramelize! We cooked it at least 40 minutes at 375.
I wonder if this would work using lemon curd instead of the apricot preserves. Lemon sounds like it would go well here. | <urn:uuid:08feec9a-3a1f-463c-96a4-3ac64d647d78> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.marthastewart.com/334356/apple-tart?xsc=soc_pin_appletartrecipe_10182013&crlt.pid=camp.rsJPxAmVR9CZ | 2020-08-09T20:03:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738573.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809192123-20200809222123-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.887719 | 136 | [

All too often, in life, it is possible to be caught off guard and thrown into an emotional storm. Something out there clashes with a long standing belief (either true or not true, useful or not useful) and disrupts a fundamental aspect of our lives that we thought was solid (really, just another belief).
Think of a time when you were accused of something you did not do, when you were hit with an unexpected bill, when one of your relationships abruptly ended, or you found yourself or a loved one face to face with a life threatening illness or death. In cases like this, it is very easy to become fused with an emotional storm complete with a host of painful thoughts which has you feeling like your out of control. Yet these are thoughts and emotions are truly not who you wish to be. So what can you do?
In Acceptance and Commitment therapy, one of the common tools I have found to be useful not only for those I work with, but for myself is to remember to S.T.O.P.
- Step Away and Slow Your Breathing
Take a step back from the situation and draw in a few deep breaths. Mindfully observe the breath flowing in and flowing out. Expand the awareness of your full field of vision (be aware of items at your peripheral line of vision). By doing so, this will help to anchor you in the here and now, the present. Just this act alone can drop you down a notch or two on an anxiety scale from a 9 to an 8 or 7 (with a 10 being totally over-whelmed to a 1 being almost no anxiety)
- Take Note
Simple be mindful of all that is going on around you and within you. Pay attention of what is happening right now in this moment. Notice what you are thinking, feeling (both emotions and sensations) and what you are doing. See if it is possible to notice how your thoughts and feelings are swirling around, threatening to carry you away if you allow them to.
- Open up
Allow yourself to let these feelings, thoughts, emotions and desires to just be. Create room for them, breathe into them and make room for them without trying to hold onto them, fight with them or try to push them away. See them for what they are and give them space, rather than fusing with them. (see the ball in the pool story about this here)
All of these first three steps are easier to implement if you have already been consistently utilizing a mindfulness practice (10+ minutes a day, 5-7 days a week). By doing this, you will develop the ability to be able to STOP more often than not, so that when occasions like the described above occur (which they inevitably will) you will be more prepared to de-fuse from the situation. (you can learn more about the defusion skill here). Finally:
- Pursue your values
Once you’ve done the above three steps, you will be in a mental state of mindfulness and you will have the ability to CHOOSE which direction or action that would be best to take (even if unpleasant). This committed action should be values based which you can learn more about here, but in brief is simply acting on what your core values in life are, what is meaningful to you, what will be the best in the long run. Values help set how you will be in the face of such challenges, what you want to stand for and most importantly, ensure that you will be able to look back later in life with pride and satisfaction on your actions. | <urn:uuid:000313eb-7bea-456e-af87-847281471349> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://toddschmenk.blog/2017/12/14/defusing-an-emotional-storm/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-08-11T22:41:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738855.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811205740-20200811235740-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.960589 | 728 | [

This post about places to eat during the off season in Myrtle Beach, SC is partially sponsored by Vacation Myrtle Beach and Visit Myrtle Beach; all opinions are my own. I previously mentioned that The Caravelle Resort is a great place to stay as well as have breakfast (Santa Maria Restaurant) and dinner (Liquids). If you are looking for places to eat around Myrtle Beach, SC then you’ll want to browse the options below.
Off Season Myrtle Beach Places to Eat
I have shared my love of Johnny D’s before. It should be no surprise that they are my number 1 for breakfast/brunch for my off season Myrtle Beach places to eat. I enjoy it so much that I had Jersey Boy stopping in twice to eat while we were on vacation. One day for brunch and another day for breakfast. I LOVE chef Jamie’s waffles!
Eggs Up Grill
I first ate at Eggs Up Grill with a friend on a trip back in 2017. It’s a small place in a shopping center but I love finding little spots like this to experience when traveling. I had to try the pumpkin spice waffle and had a chocolate mocha to drink. Check out all that whip.
There are also a lot of doughnut and bagel shops in Myrtle Beach. We stopped in to a bagel place called The Bagel Factory on the way kayaking one morning and Jersey Boy said they were some of the best bagels he’s had since leaving New Jersey.
Every time we left the resort we would notice that the parking lot to the little restaurant on the corner was always full so one afternoon we decided to stop in and see what the excitement was all about. After having lunch at Fiesta Mexicana I knew what the hype was about. The food is gooooood! I stepped out of my usual talavera and ordered the pina rellena which is half a pineapple stuffed with chicken, steak, shrimp, pineapple pieces, and cheese. The rum punch was also a special that day at only $3.
The Wicked Tuna
There are now 2 locations for The Wicked Tuna. We had waterfront dinner at The Wicked Tuna at Murrells Inlet. All of the seafood there is boat to table local except for the ahi tuna which they bring in from Hawaii. We had sushi, a seafood platter, steak and then a yummy apple dessert. This is a great date spot, I don’t know that I would attempt to take all 4 kids here though. It strikes me as more of a Mom and Dad date night kind of place. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly.
Dinner & a Show Options:
We didn’t visit Medieval Times this trip but it’s one of my favorite shows to visit when we travel. We have been to the Myrtle Beach, Orlando, and New Jersey castles.
This was our first time going to the Pirates Voyage dinner and show. We got there when the doors opened so we could catch the pre-show and look around before dinner and the main show. Pirates Voyage is in it’s 9th season this year. It’s suggested ye arrive 50 minutes before the show time so you can experience the pirate sing along in Pirates Village and walk around the gift shop or get decked out like a pirate or mermaid. Come hungry and ready to watch a spectacular acrobatic show/competition, birds, sea lions, and mermaids. It’s a must see if you are visiting Myrtle Beach for sure and the food fills ye up to the gills.
If you have been before, what are your go to restaurants when you visit Myrtle Beach, SC? | <urn:uuid:efee3c99-0303-495e-9637-531d6b0d84bd> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.itsshanaka.com/off-season-places-to-eat-at-myrtle-beach-vacationmb/ | 2020-08-15T01:20:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740423.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815005453-20200815035453-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.962332 | 784 | [

Locate New Jersey Real Estate Lawyers
In New Jersey, real estate law is a very broad area of law covering anything that has to do with the ownership of land and buildings.
Real estate law can apply to many numerous facets of a personal and professional life. It can apply to anything from the purchase of a vacant lot, to renting prime downtown office space.
New Jersey real estate law can be very intricate, because it's really a collection of a lot of different areas of law. These areas of law include property rights, contracts, land use, and many others.
Having a good basic knowledge of New Jersey real estate law can make a lot of transactions, such as buying a house or renting an apartment, much easier.
Common Real Estate Issues in New Jersey
Financing: Most people in New Jersey probably can't afford to buy a house or a piece of land up front. Consequently, most individuals and business use some form of financing to purchase real estate, typically a mortgage. A mortgage is a loan used to buy a piece of real estate, with the purchased real estate simultaneously securing the loan.
Disclosure: When a house or other structure is for sale, the seller has to tell prospective buyers about all physical defects of which the seller is aware, and which the buyer couldn't be reasonably expected to discover. However, if you are selling a house, you should probably just disclose every defect you're aware of. This will save you a great deal of potential liability. Even if your disclosure of a particular defect wasn't required (because the buyer could have easily discovered it), the buyer might still sue, and the cost of defending this lawsuit, even if you win, will be very high.
Warranty of Habitability: This applies in residential leases. Landlords are under a legal duty, whether it's specifically stated in the lease agreement or not, to ensure that the rented property is fit for human habitation. The requirements for habitability often include electricity, heating, running water, a working phone line, and protection from the elements. Of course, that list is not exhaustive.
Zoning Laws: Zoning laws dictate what kinds of buildings can be placed on lots in certain parts of a town or city. Their purpose is to ensure, for example, that sewage treatment plants don't get built next to homes, or that noisy, polluting factory doesn't get built next to a daycare center. To this end, they "zone" sections of the locality for numerous uses, such as residential, industrial, commercial, etc. If you are buying a piece of vacant land, it's essential that whatever use you intend to make of it is compatible with New Jersey's zoning laws.
Do I Need a New Jersey Real Estate Lawyer?
These matters can be pretty convoluted, and the above discussion only scratched the surface of the huge body of law that can affect real estate transactions. Therefore, if you think any business or personal plan you have might be affected by real estate law, you should consult with a New Jersey real estate lawyer as soon as possible.
Interesting Facts About New Jersey
New Jersey is located in the northeastern quarter of the United States and has a population of well over 8 million people. It is the most densely populated of all the 50 states and is listed as the third wealthiest according to median household income.
New Jersey's legal system revolves around its three basic levels of courts- the Municipal Courts, Superior Courts, and the New Jersey Supreme Court. Unlike most states, New Jersey does not have an intermediate court district for appeals; instead, the Superior Court operates its own Appellate Division that processes appeals. There is also a Tax Court system with limited jurisdiction to settle tax disputes.
The judiciary of New Jersey is also unique in that it still has separate courts for law and equity. Also, the Superior Court system is further divided into divisions of Law and Chancery at the trial level. These features allow the state to process a variety of different claims in an efficient manner. New Jersey has also produced many major figures in U.S. jurisprudence, including U.S. Supreme Court Justices William Brennan, Jr., Antonin Scalia, and Samuel Alito.
Lawyers in New Jersey have experience in guiding clients through the state's court system. Most New Jersey lawyers begin by filing claims at the Superior Court level. Attorneys are available to provide legal advice and representation in New Jersey courts. | <urn:uuid:d4c05a93-1afb-4d76-87c7-6a92c4b92b75> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://realestatelawyers.legalmatch.com/NJ/ | 2020-08-15T01:18:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740423.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815005453-20200815035453-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.965862 | 905 | [

All this receives greater emphasis in recent generations, described as, "in
the heels of," and as, "the heels of the heels of Moshiach," particularly
in this generation, the last generation of exile... Only the heel of the
foot, i.e., the absolute last generation has the ability to "rise on its
own" and elevate all previous generations, because the last
generation of exile will be the first generation of Redemption - the Redemption
for all Jews throughout all generations!
In particular, the shepherd Aharon HaCohen of our generation
- my sainted father-in-law, the Rebbe, the leader of our generation... has
emphasized this through his "invocation" of "Immediate Teshuvah, immediate
Redemption," and the announcement that we only have to "polish
the buttons," and afterwards - the declaration that this too
has already ended, and it only requires us to "stand prepared all of
you" to greet our righteous Moshiach in the true and complete
(From the talk of Shabbos Beha'aloscha, 19 Sivan 5751)
1. [The term "ability to rise on its own" is applied to the kindling of
the menorah in the Temple, where the law requires that the branches be lit
in such a manner that the flames can rise by themselves without any further
assistance of the one who kindles them. See Rashi beginning of Parshas
Beha'alosecha, cited by the Rebbe in this Sicha. Translator's note.]
2. Thus Aharon is called in an explicit Scriptural text "the three shepherds"
(Zecharyah 11:8. And see Taanis 9, end of side a).
3. Published in his Igros Kodesh, volume 5, page 361 and further.
377 and further. 408 and further. Volume 6, page 430 and further. [The
phrase literally means, "Immediately to Return (or Repentance), immediately
to Redemption. Translator's note.]
4. See the talks of Simchas Torah of 5689. | <urn:uuid:079861f0-4fa2-4e81-b151-278b070b5349> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://torah4blind.org/besuras/bh-26.htm | 2020-08-15T02:50:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740423.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815005453-20200815035453-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.901087 | 458 | [

Pretoria – Corruption-convicted former police commissioner Jackie Selebi will be released from prison on Friday, Correctional Services Minister Sibusiso Ndebele announced in Pretoria.
“Mr Selebi will be going home today [Friday],” he told a media briefing in Pretoria.
“The department has limited capacity to provide for palliative care needed by some offenders,” said Ndebele.
Palliative care meant he would be kept comfortable until his death, as there was no hope of him recovering.
An 11-member medical parole advisory board met on June 20 and recommended the release of six offenders, including Selebi, who needed dialysis for kidney failure.
Three of them had since died, said Ndebele.
Selebi was the president of Interpol at the time of the investigation into claims that he received money from convicted drug trafficker and police informer Glenn Agliotti.
He was convicted of corruption on July 2, 2010, and handed a 15-year jail sentence.
Selebi appealed against the corruption conviction in the Supreme Court of Appeal. His appeal was denied.
In December 2011, he collapsed at home in Waterkloof, Pretoria, while watching the judgment on television.
The appeal outcome meant he had to begin his 15-year jail sentence for corruption. It was decided he would stay in Pretoria Central prison’s medical wing indefinitely.
At the time he had not instructed his medical team to apply for medical parole. Selebi had also been trained to administer his own treatment. He suffered from diabetes and kidney disease. – Sapa | <urn:uuid:09adb46e-942c-4dae-8503-f36d1d8edf90> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://praag.org/?p=784 | 2020-08-03T14:27:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735812.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803140840-20200803170840-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.986507 | 344 | [

Less Expensive– Setting up a DIY alarm can save money over a professionally installed AT&T Alarm System. AT&T Digital Life Reviews frequently complain of installation inexperience.
• No Contracts - The AT&T Digital Life contracts are less than the industry average, but many DIY alar companies such as Frontpoint are now month to month.
• No Waiting– With an AT&T Alarm, you will need to schedule an appointment with a technician-during normal business hours.
• Enhances Familiarity– When customers set up their own home security systems, they become more familiar with all the features and operation of their systems.
• Portability– With DIY alarms, when you move, you just pack up the system and set it up again at your new home.
• No strangers in your home - While AT&T Home Security takes great care in hiring technicians…they sometimes have to use 3rd party sub-contractors. | <urn:uuid:ad4250d5-d65c-4acd-93f0-5c2b6f091776> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://all4webs.com/tyrellharvey/diyalarm.htm | 2020-08-05T05:14:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735909.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805035535-20200805065535-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.910703 | 195 | [

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's line-item vetoes blocked nearly $1 billion in spending proposed by the Republican-led Legislature.
LANSING — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed the next state budget Monday hours before the deadline to fund government, while using line-item vetoes to block nearly $1 billion in spending proposed by the Republican-led Legislature.
The Democrat enacted the plan amid a standoff with GOP lawmakers over road funding. Her 147 line-item vetoes totaled a historic $947 million. That included $128 million in the K-12 budget and $375 million in one-time discretionary funds for roads and bridges, after talks broke down over a permanent increase in transportation spending.
“These budgets were a mess,” Whitmer told The Associated Press. “There were a lot of legislative pork projects, a lot of taking money from important foundational objectives of the departments to cobble together a phony one-time road plan. They created a lot more problems than they solved in this budget.”
The near-$1 billion in stripped funding could be added back into the $59 billion spending plan later, pending negotiations.
The first-year governor was poised to shape the budget further Tuesday, when a state board that she controls was scheduled to meet to take the extremely rare step of going around the Legislature to transfer money within individual departments. She said it was too early to discuss the meeting but that no one should be surprised she would do “everything in my power” to protect public health and safety.
“There are powers inherent in the executive office that I’ve been forced to use because this Legislature wasn’t serious about negotiating budgets,” Whitmer said. She acted Monday following an unusual budgetary process in which she had no input in the final measures after a breakdown in talks, though some of her priorities were included — such as a $120 million boost to protect drinking water and clean up contamination.
“I’ve been forced to use the tools at my disposal,” Whitmer said. “This is not how I was hoping things would play out, but this is where we’re at and I’m very serious about protecting the people of this state.”
Republican legislative leaders, who have accused Whitmer of walking away from budget discussions, could not immediately be reached for comment.
They have touted the spending plan that would not include funding from her 45- cents-a-gallon fuel tax hike to improve the roads and free up funds for education. The $2.5 billion tax increase never gained traction since it was unveiled in March, and Whitmer agreed three weeks ago to table talks on a longterm road-funding plan until after finalizing the budget.
But negotiations quickly stalled when GOP legislators insisted on shifting hundreds of millions of discretionary funds to the $5 billion transportation budget.
“They violated that agreement within 60 minutes,” Whitmer said.
On Monday, she blocked $375 million of a $400 million general fund transfer to road and bridge repairs, saying it “isn’t going to change the situation that we’re confronting in our infrastructure. In fact, it is the most expensive, foolish way that you can go about fixing an ongoing infrastructure crisis like we have.”
She also criticized Republicans for not backing $185 million in additional funding for at-risk, special education and vocational students in the school budget, along with an expansion of preschool to more than 5,000 kids and the installation of new drinking fountains in 3,300 public schools. Republicans have noted that school aid spending would still rise by $ 391 million, or 2.8%, and include a $240 per-student, or 3%, increase for most schools.
A list of the line-item vetoes was not immediately available. Asked to give examples, Whitmer said there was “a ton of vendor-specific pork barrel-project spending” in the school aid budget.
She said she vetoed $1.5 million for Florida-based Algebra Nation, which provides a free supplemental Algebra 1 resource for students and teachers. She cited a letter she received last week from four lawmakers, including three Republicans, urging her to veto that and $56.2 million in other funding that they said schools could better spend at their discretion.

This summer, Los Angeles became home to America's first legal pot cafe, Lowell Farms. This West Hollywood establishment, endorsed by celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Wiz Khalifa, serves up pre-rolled joints alongside pre-packaged THC- and CBD-infused drinks. There are a few other pot consumption lounges in the country, but as of now, Lowell is the only place where you can buy and consume both flower and infused beverages.
Lowell Farms's monopoly on LA's weed cafe industry will be short-lived, however. Next spring, Aeon Botanika, a second legal pot cafe, is planning to open its doors in West Hollywood. This massive 7,000 square foot space will roll a cannabis boutique, a superfoods cafe, a spa, and a Moroccan-themed weed tea lounge into one single venue. The space will also include a wellness center with a dietician, a massage therapist, an acupuncturist, and a functional medicine physician on-site.
“We are in a time when more people are turning to cannabis as a medicine and including it as part of their wellness lifestyle,” said Aeon co-founder Nicole Fox, registered dietician and co-founder of two of LA's first medical cannabis dispensaries, in a statement reported by WEHOville. “I am thrilled to bring my two passions, healthcare and cannabis, together to create the Aeon Botanika experience. I am beyond grateful to the City of West Hollywood, who has always supported the movement to end the prohibition of this healing plant.”

“We’re not just creating a business,” said Veena Parekh, another of Aeon's co-founders. “We are building a place of beauty where people can gather, connect, rejuvenate, and deepen their practice of wellness in new ways. Joy, relaxation, and education are all important dimensions of wellness, and the combination of the different spaces we are curating is such a unique opportunity to bring these all together. We believe cannabis can be a catalyst for positive change in individuals and in society; this is the vision we are bringing to life.”
The company recently received an Adult Use, Medical and Consumption Lounge license in West Hollywood and a Microbusiness license for cultivation, manufacturing, delivery, and distribution in Los Angeles. The company must still acquire a license from the state, however. Aeon is also applying for a license to add a wellness center and a sidewalk cafe to their location.
Aeon Botanika is being designed by Ferrier Architecture Studio. And Keith Greco, who designed several local restaurants, will be responsible for the interior design. The restaurant, which will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, will be overseen by Fred Eric of Fred62. Aeon will also offer a variety of coffee options, directed by Ritual Coffee Roasters. | <urn:uuid:38cdb394-719c-49f1-833f-838f4ef53d3e> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://merryjane.com/news/another-cannabis-cafe-is-coming-to-west-hollywood-in-spring-2020 | 2020-08-08T12:25:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737645.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808110257-20200808140257-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.956164 | 604 | [

On the day that Prince died I heard about it as breaking news on a country music station in the middle of Indiana. When I tuned into CNN en Español on my satellite radio, the programming was about reactions in Latin America. Soon the Eiffel Tower was bathed in purple light, thousands marched in a New Orleans-style funeral procession, and President Obama played “Purple Rain” at the British embassy. In Minneapolis—Prince’s hometown and my own—there was an effort to declare purple the official state color and Prince accounted for a large proportion of news reports for days. Anyone from Minneapolis who cares about popular music can tell you about life-changing experiences at the venue that Prince largely built, First Avenue—famous as the setting for his film Purple Rain, which at one point in 1984 accounted for the nation’s top single, album and film. Even in the nearby outpost of rural Northern Wisconsin where I spend my summers, the local newspaper interrupted its round of obituaries and high school sports news to reminisce about Prince, recall his visits to a local religious camp as a teen, and debate whether his music had remained sufficiently interesting after his Sign O the Times record in 1987.
Even now, more than a year later, shock waves of grief are reverberating. Scholars organized major international conferences at Yale last January and at the University of Salford this month. I spent much of my day on Friday April 21 watching a stream of Prince videos on MTV Classic. For the most part these were not even his best videos, yet they went on and on for hours with almost no repetition, and true landmark songs kept popping up just when I thought surely the rotation would start over: “When Doves Cry” at the ninety-minute mark, “Sign O the Times” in the second hour, “Little Red Corvette” in the third hour, on and on.
Simply stated, Prince had wider synthetic reach and more astonishing virtuosity than almost any other musician of our time. As the New York Times noted, “he was admired well-nigh universally” for music that was “a cornucopia of ideas: triumphantly, brilliantly kaleidoscopic.” The question is not whether he fits, but where, in a list of the greatest American musicians—jockeying with Bob Dylan or John Coltrane for a top slot or matching Duke Ellington and Joni Mitchell in range and innovation.
Among this select group, few had deeper spiritual-religious interests and cultural impacts. It is essential not to pigeonhole Prince as a mere icon of sexual partying—whether to celebrate this or not—as opposed to a musical genius who also voiced a wide range of concerns including community-building, social justice, and joyful transcendence.
Now, it is certainly true that Prince’s road to fame included branding himself as a sort of sex god. More pointedly, it would be possible to cherry-pick a selection of his raunchiest lyrics, most conservative end-times beliefs spinning out from his Adventist upbringing and mature years as a devout Jehovah’s Witness, and least innovative pop grooves—and then accentuate the negative about its cultural effects, both religious or otherwise. Like Dylan before him, Prince’s output included both immensely formidable classics and other songs that are better forgotten. In the case of both Prince and Dylan, simply to accentuate the negative is to risk missing some of the most profound spiritual creativity of our generation. No one was more important than Prince in rearticulating—through the genius of his music—what the terms “spirituality” and “sexuality” would mean in relation to each another and to emergent racial formations.
In a thoughtful book on Prince, Touré notes that he was born at an auspicious time to synthesize a wide range of music from the baby boom generation, yet also to articulate emerging concerns of youth coming of age during the 1980s. For example, Touré points to the rising prevalence of divorce and latchkey kids with reduced parental guidance due to two-earner families. Prince’s relationship with his parents was rocky, and this likely accounts for the haunting, yearning chorus of one of his masterpieces: “How can you just leave me standing/Alone in a world that’s so cold?….This is what it sounds like/When Doves Cry.”
Like many other critics, Touré flags Prince’s preoccupations with eroticism and spirituality. Early in his career, he made a name for himself through equal parts musical virtuosity and pushing people’s buttons around sex. If you were a conservative on family values in these years, or even a card-carrying feminist fighting on the anti-pornography team of the “sex wars” that racked 1980s feminism, Prince was one of your sworn enemies. Among the few who rivaled him was Madonna—and much of her work that redirected cultural scripts from sex and spirituality in zero-sum conflict to a fusion of sexual and spiritual transcendence, was actually a popularization trickling down from Prince’s more innovative and profound creativity.
Meanwhile, if you fought on the sexual liberation side of the feminist sex wars—stressing gender fluidity and harnessing erotic desire to break down hegemonic forms of sex/gender expectation—Prince was your hero and part of the soundtrack of your life. And I will risk another claim: cutting edge works in feminist religious thought such as Carter Heyward’s, which became a root of today’s queer spiritualities, were also in significant degree trickle-down effects from the sensibilities Prince articulated. Over time he increasingly blended such ideas—sometimes using coded language—with fairly orthodox themes from African-American Christianity and end-times beliefs learned during his Adventist upbringing.
Thus if we could weigh Prince’s influence solely as a creative religious innovator, abstracting from his music, he would still rank as a major force in popular Christianity—although we cannot actually abstract this way since his intervention was through music. If we solely read Prince’s words about his “New Power Generation” and its inclusive spirituality called “lovesexy,” the words can sound rather lame. Nor is it easy to say whether all the parts completely cohere conceptually. The evangelical magazine, Wittenberg Door, called his album Lovesexy a “disgusting, egotistical collection of theological gibberish” setting out “to prove that God… [is] a sex maniac.” But Prince’s lyrics alone carried relatively little of his total vision, and could even detract from it. If you listened with open ears, you were quite likely to discover that you had become a sort of believer. Do you doubt that songs like “Purple Rain” or “Anna Stesia” (the centerpiece of Lovesexy) can be powerful articulations of Christianity? Don’t scoff until you’ve listened carefully.
There is much more worth saying about Prince’s life and legacy than can fit in one Sacred Matters article. For example, we could discuss his addiction to opioid painkillers. Here we should push back against commentators who seem self-satisfied to know little else about him—just another rock star dead from an overdose—nevermind that he was famous for a remarkably intense work ethic and squeaky-clean stance toward recreational drugs (Drummer Questlove of the Roots even recalls Prince making him pay $20 into a curse jar for saying the word “shit” during a recording session, despite Questlove’s protest that Prince had been the one who taught him to curse.)
We could discuss Prince’s brilliant collaborations with Mavis Staples and Patty LaBelle—to a large extent neglected due to Prince’s conflicts with Warner Brothers Records—featuring pointed commentary about making Christianity welcoming for a “New Power Generation” that presupposed sex-positive, queer-friendly, and racially-progressive spiritualities.
We could discuss the last song Prince released, “Baltimore”—a sadly under-appreciated contribution to public discourse about the Black Lives Matter movement (a cause which Prince strongly supported as a philanthropist). What lingers from “Baltimore” is its echoing chant—“If there ain’t no justice then there ain’t no peace”—presented with an extraordinary balance of common sense assertion, protest, and cautious open-hearted hope.
And of course we could discuss Prince’s relative turn toward overt spirituality and “positive” messages—which, in truth, were always present in his music but (as Questlove discovered) came forward more explicitly in his later career. At no point did Prince ever apologize for celebrating sexual pleasure—and doing so with greater playfulness, commitment to mutuality, and androgynous sensibilities than almost any pop musician of his day—but he did broaden his vision, back away from some of his early branding, and clarify how adding sex to any relationship is playing with fire: it makes good relationships better and bad relationships worse. For example, in Purple Rain, his libidinous “Darling Nikki”—which famously provoked Tipper Gore to lobby for parental warning labels on records—is used to lash out at the “Nikki” character for a perceived betrayal, accused in the context of the film as prostituting her lustful proclivities to make a buck. In the film this conflict is resolved. Nor does this come close to the film’s most dark and disturbing themes: Prince’s father killing himself and Prince nearly following in his footsteps. The key point—whether we are speaking of dysfunctional forms of sex, AIDS, racism, or despair—was to face such demons and triumph, as distilled in Prince’s signature “Purple Rain,” which features gospel style, a theology of grace, and one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded.
As already noted, we cannot cover everything that’s sacred in Prince’s music here. So let’s simply pause and appreciate some of Prince’s music. Where better to focus than “Purple Rain,” which came to be part of the lingua franca of a whole generation?
Here is a mass choir of high school kids singing it.
Here is Bruce Springsteen singing it.
Here is Tori Amos singing it.
Here is Dwight Yoakam singing it.
Anyone who Googles “purple rain cover versions” and follows the links will see that this list could go on almost indefinitely— long enough that MTV Classics’ retrospective could conceivably have been only covers of “Purple Rain.”
And of course a long stretch of this hypothetical playlist could simply be a range of Prince’s own versions. Let us close with my personal favorite: the greatest musician of his generation, playing his greatest song, on the largest stage in the world. And in the rain, no less. If music or group religious rituals can change the world—and I think at times they can—then the world changed during this performance.
Rest in peace, Prince.

of the Penang Forum to the Penang State Government
We, the Penang NGOs, community groups and concerned individuals who participated in the Penang Forum of NGOs on 13 April 2008 at Disted College, hereby declare:
i. We congratulate the Pakatan Rakyat coalition on its victory in the 12th General Election and welcome the opportunity to work with the current Penang State Government to further good governance of our state.
ii. We call upon the Penang State Government to establish a new partnership with the Penang people, to be based on the principles of participation, transparency, accountability, sustainability and social justice. The general principles and the basis for the partnerships can be found in the 1999 Sustainable Penang Initiative and the United Nations’ Local Agenda 21.
iii. We call upon the Penang State Government to establish a mechanism for civil society to meet with the government on a regular basis, at least once every three months, so that civil society will have an avenue to raise issues, make input into policy-making, monitor and provide feedback on the implementation of those policies, and help the government to resolve problems and conflicts if required, whenever these arise.
iv. We further call upon the Penang State Government to make financial and other resources available to NGOs and other civil society groups. Specifically, we wish to have easy access to public facilities like the Kompleks Masyarakat Penyayang, Dewan Sri Pinang, Town Hall, Balai Rakyats, auditoriums in public libraries, and public fields, in order for us to conduct our activities, especially public educational programmes, for the various communities in Penang.
v. As a follow-up to this Forum, we shall be establishing ‘issue-based working groups’ comprising NGOs and concerned individuals, which will detail some plans of action on a variety of issues affecting Penang, to be submitted to the State Government.
vi. In this regard, we call upon the Penang State Government to grant us access to the necessary data and information so that the proposed plans of action will address the concerns accurately, yet comprehensively.
vii. Finally, we urge the new Penang State Government to regard this engagement with civil society as an opportunity to develop a collective commitment to the improvement and future sustainability of our State. Working together, this commitment can contribute towards a longer-term development strategy for Penang which
- stresses a balanced, integrated and sustainable approach to planning, wherein attention is given not just to physical development but to the economic, social, cultural, psychological and environmental consequences of development too;
- empowers communities in Penang to participate in decisions which affect them, paying special attention to the inclusion of marginalised groups, including women, workers, youth, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, the less affluent, rural communities, migrants and refugees, so that democracy can be enhanced and social justice achieved promoted.

ECU SCREENS revives “Frankenstein” one last time on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in the Raymond J. Estep Multimedia Center in the Bill S. Cole University Center.
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, the production was a sell-out hit at the National Theatre and the broadcast has since become an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.
“Frankenstein” is the most popular production ECU SCREENS has hosted in three years of bringing NT LIVE events to the ECU campus. In this version of the production, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Victor Frankenstein and Jonny Lee Miller plays the Creature, so audience that saw the October screening in the Estep, will get a unique opportunity to view how two of the preeminent actors of this generation interprets each part.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered Creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.
The screening contains some scenes of sexual violence and is not recommended for children.
Tickets are $10 for the general public and $5 for students.
Next up for ECU SCREENS is ECU’s Seventh Annual Foreign Film Festival, with screenings scheduled for each Friday in February at 4 p.m. in the Estep. On Friday, Feb. 3, the festival begins with the Nepalese film "The Black Hen,” which will be the grand finale of a day-long event titled “Across the Himalayas: A Journey through Fiction, Film and Food,” which is sponsored in part by the Oklahoma Humanities Council.
The festival will also feature a German film, “Labyrinth of Lies” on Feb. 10, Mexico’s .“Golden Dreams” on Feb. 17, and Lebanon’s “Where Do We Go Now?” on Feb. 24. All Foreign Film Festival screenings are free and open to the public.

Years DJing: I started with some friends back home in Canada about 17 years ago. We all began around the same time and came up together.
Genre: A little bit of a lot of things. I started with house and techno, found my way into drum 'n' bass and jungle, and have since mixed in hip-hop, dub, reggae and funk.
Where you can catch me regularly: I play solo randomly at a lot of lovely venues in Portland—think the Liquor Store, Moloko, the Goodfoot, Valentines, Holocene, Cruzroom, Alberta Street Pub and after-hours underground spots. I also play as part of a DJ crew called Vinylogy—four DJs, usually on four turntables, plus a live drummer—especially on patios in the summer.
Craziest gig: Before Last Thursday on Alberta became super-organized, we'd set up a little shanty canopy on the corner of 27th and Alberta with a few crates of records and a pretty substantial sound system. Once we had the entire block dancing along with us. It happened so fast. I still get chills thinking about it. We had to tame it down in the following months, so we took the party over to Cruzroom's patio for a few years after that.
Don't ever ask me to play…: Not trying to throw my Vinylogy homie DJ Antix under the bus, but he used to play a Skream remix of La Roux's "In for the Kill" at our shows that still to this day sounds worse to me than brawling neighborhood cats. Actually, I think he played it extra often just to bug me.
NEXT GIG: Ryan Organ spins at Bar Bar, 3939 N Mississippi Ave., on Tuesday, April 4. | <urn:uuid:f0f3c39a-ad38-434d-8963-047eabde7cfe> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.wweek.com/music/2017/02/28/needle-exchange-a-dj-questionnaire-with-ryan-organ/ | 2020-08-10T03:12:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738603.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810012015-20200810042015-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.96893 | 370 | [

A congested train; a rickety bus; an overloaded boat; a bullock-cart; on foot through jungles. Finally, he was there, his home in the cradle of Himalayas away from the noise and the smoke of the city and the sahibs. She was waiting for him impatiently by the fence. He was ready for a new life.
This 55-Fiction is inspired by a recent post by Shilpa on the kaam wali bais (maid servants). It is based on lives of numerous Garhwalis (from Uttarakhand-Nepal/Tibet border) who stay and work in Chandigarh away from their homes and the loved ones. This long journey back home is as described (with some modifications) by my home maid who lives with her family in our servants' quarter. And its true, they have to cross a jungle by foot to reach their village.
P.S. On an important query raised by a fellow blogger, I have explained in the comments section, how this story satisfies all the criteria of a 55-Fiction as mentioned in the Wikipedia article. Do not miss the explanation.
This post is by no means inspired by the movie Swades. | <urn:uuid:adbb06df-b3e1-4cce-9968-53eb6cca71f6> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.vipulgrover.com/2009/08/swades.html?showComment=1249810202849 | 2020-08-13T17:31:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.974285 | 257 | [

Good evening I would like to share an exciting revelation that the lord revealed to me. I have been through various stages in my walk with the lord and I have came to the full realization that when I truly fell on my knees and cried out to God and literally walked away from people, places and Things including evil and wicked ways; did the scales truly and literally fall from my eyes. During my study time I was reading Isaiah 3:8-26. I encourage everyone to read it. What popped out to me was a couple of different things.
- Isaiah chapter 3 shows the literal breakdown of society when professed believers walk away from god. I didn’t realize how much power and change a true believer influences in the world and gods kingdom. When we are inconsistent and lukewarm we help the breakdown of society.
- We were created with freewill and people will choose to not choose god and they have that right, I would not recommend it but they can choose like Lucifer did to rebel against god. When we are NOT consistent in our walk with the lord through our actions we actually help darkness to continue its spread and help keep the very ones we are called to make disciples of in further bondage and we end up like those in Isaiah 3:8-26. I am not saying this to make anyone feel guilty or condemned but I will be the first to admit that when I read Isaiah 3:8-26 I was exactly like those people, I was very lukewarm and I eventually walked away from the lord and did my own thing. I helped evil progress and for that I am truly ashamed and regretful.
Let us be solid and committed to the lord, we have to turn away from evil we have to stop being wicked and slapping the title christian, incorrect doctrine and the belief of OSAS/grace on our sins and justifying the continual committing of sin.
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled,
and Judah has fallen,
because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord,
defying his glorious presence.
9 For the look on their faces bears witness against them;
they proclaim their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves.
10 Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them,
for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.
12 My people—infants are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O my people, your guides mislead you
and they have swallowed up[b] the course of your paths.
13 The Lord has taken his place to contend;
he stands to judge peoples.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment
with the elders and princes of his people:
“It is you who have devoured[c] the vineyard,
the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing my people,
by grinding the face of the poor?”
declares the Lord God of hosts.
16 The Lord said:
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks,
glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
tinkling with their feet,
17 therefore the Lord will strike with a scab
the heads of the daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents; 19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20 the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21 the signet rings and nose rings; 22 the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23 the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24 Instead of perfume there will be rottenness;
and instead of a belt, a rope;
and instead of well-set hair, baldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth;
and branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword
and your mighty men in battle.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn;
empty, she shall sit on the ground. | <urn:uuid:f05d8621-03c1-4fac-92fe-ee7e65ef36b3> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://444prophecynews.com/isaiah-38-26-kashmere-t/ | 2020-08-13T16:57:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.966169 | 943 | [

India Infographic - SEZs In The Sunset Era: To Go or Not to Go? August 2018
SEZs account for about 22% of the total office stock in India; almost 35 million sq. ft. of SEZ space was completed and a similar quantum absorbed across leading cities during 2015 - H1 2018.
Most occupiers want to kickstart their operations in SEZs by Q3-Q4 2019, in order to avail the benefits before the sunset date. This will ensure that space take-up in this segment remains strong and vacancy levels low at least till the end of 2019. However, post 2019, we can expect rationalization in demand, with occupier decisions based on well-thought out CRE strategies than just tax benefits.
The developer community remains skeptical of launching any large-scale speculative development in this segment. Almost 30 mn sft of SEZ space is in various stages of construction till 2020; however, majority of this comprises of new phases of already notified SEZs.
Developers are eager to lease out their operational SEZs, while focus on developing a more equitable portfolio comprising of tech parks and corporate office spaces as well. | <urn:uuid:1c1044b5-8e8d-440b-84dc-7a80148df6d2> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://uat-www.cbre.hu/en/research-and-reports/India-Infographic---SEZs-In-The-Sunset-Era-To-Go-or-Not-to-Go-August-2018 | 2020-08-13T17:45:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.9324 | 240 | [

I ignored the uproar over South Africa’s president, Jacob Zuma, getting his dick immortalized in Brett Murray’s painting The Spear. I even contained myself when Zapiro, our country’s most famous cartoonist, got sued. After all, i realized ages ago that my country isn’t a democracy and that media/artist freedom is a liability to guilty leaders (as it has been throughout history) – “we wouldn’t want the public to start thinking for themselves, hey!” It’s the latter that irks me, not the sex – most men would live out their fantasies if given the opportunity so i couldn’t give a hypocritical damn how many women Zuma got lucky with so long as he paid for them out of his own pocket (instead of ours).
So, today, there’s uproar again because Ayanda Mabulu decided to continue the legend of the penis (it’s gotten bigger) in his painting Umshini Wam (Weapon of Mass Destruction). Ironically, Ayanda had painted the “royal” penis before but wasn’t condemned because he wasn’t white. Black on Black is real but isn’t “in” whereas White on Black or Black on White has always been “cool”. This time, after the previous marches, Ayanda will likely get a scolding – and kudos to him for bravely realizing that!
Maybe Ayanda simply used his artistic skills to deliberately provoke my brain into the masturbating mantra of “Presidents, Penises and Paintings!” Then again, this is a community blog so it’s better that i substitute alliteration with with a more respectful request for the Provocative Presidential Penis to please skip stumbling over his “ego” this time lest he fall endlessly into the great divide between South Africa’s rich and poor. | <urn:uuid:1dacac2e-c5ea-4039-bcb4-ea26deab8f70> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.knysnakeep.org/the-provocative-presidential-penis/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-08-13T17:14:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739048.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813161908-20200813191908-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.945817 | 405 | [

At every One Star House Party, the chefs serve each course themselves, telling the story behind it and the experience from which that dish derives. As if looking at a travel photo album, guests will share their journey through the dishes which embrace each country’s culture, food, ingredient and people they meet.

Apple Wipes Out Particular person Developers’ Bingo Apps from App Store
A large number of gambling-related mobile computer software have been pulled from the App Store and lots more should follow after Apple integrated a new Request Review insurance coverage today. So as to fight criminal online gambling actions, the tech giant dismissed individual developers’ gambling programs from the preferred platform. Nonetheless , many software unrelated to gambling by any means were also cleaned up and removed without any valid explanation.
The very changed App Review protection plan comes simply a week once Apple appeared to be forced to help purge 34 gambling applications from the Norwegian version of your App Store. Back in May, typically the Norwegian Gambling Authority sent applications for that Piece of fruit should block Norwegians via accessing those applications because they did not have access to the necessary security guard licensing in the country. At present, there are merely two professional gambling employees in Norwegian, namely Norsk Tipping together with Norsk Rikstoto, both state-owned companies.
The exact Norwegian circumstance has likely urged Apple company to take a more active foot position against unlawful gambling together with fraudulent free slots for fun wheel of fortune things to do on the Internet. The new measures reveal that the business has seemingly taken an extremely strict approach towards giving gambling applications on a App Store. In accordance with the updated Practical application Review insurance policy, the tech giant can no longer make it possible for gambling software from man or women developers . Moreover, this consists of not only software where buyers can staked or participate in casino game titles for actual money but also unrestricted that simulate a playing experience.
Piece of fruit says that just ‘verified webpage from incorporated business entities’ would be are usually upload and distribute playing apps. It can be clear, in contrast, that many reputable and legitimate developers possess individual zynga poker chips on the App Store. The changes in the company protection plan have not had the capacity to magnify that not less than according to a number of reports in addition to complaints published in the past few hours on advertising and marketing. What prompted a real repercussion, however , was the removal of several apps who were not linked with gambling the slightest bit.
Banning Non-Gambling Apps As a result of Unrestricted Internet Access
The grounds behind the muscle removal of blog today from App Store is reducing typically the fraudulent hobby on the system, an explanation within the company brings out. Apple suggests it also planned to comply with the variety of requests coming from governments regarding fighting against the law gambling . While the brand-new policy certainly aims at achieving such uses, it also bans a wide range of apps that have not do along with gambling or any type of fraudulent exercises.
It appears the particular ban is true of applications which will allow users unrestricted world wide web access . Such software have a ’17+’ rating and may go around parental controls and provide children use of unvetted written content, which is likely one of the reasons how come Apple provides decided to eliminate these blog from the Appstore. The problem is there are many products with a real rating and the majority of them are not really related to betting. Even fewer have been placed by legal gambling employees and other bogus businesses.
It is not necessarily clear irrespective of whether this associated with mobile programs from the App Store was unintentional , but multiple web developers said for social media in which their programs had been taken down even though they cant be found linked with any kind of gambling actions. | <urn:uuid:61147e87-0a49-418e-9966-8d50b03ee453> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://evanflos.my/2019/09/30/apple-wipes-out-particular-person-developers-bingo-3/ | 2020-08-15T08:06:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740733.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815065105-20200815095105-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.959545 | 706 | [

Our panel of ESPN NFL Insiders is breaking down what all the offseason action means for the 2018 season throughout the week.
Next up: Kirk Cousins headlined the free-agent quarterback class, but will he have the most success in Year 1?
Our Insiders weigh in, plus dig into these topics:
Which free-agent QB will have the most success in Year 1?
Kevin Seifert, national NFL writer: Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings. It’s really difficult to envision a scenario, other than injuries across the board on offense, in which Cousins doesn’t produce big numbers and double-digit victories for the Vikings. It is less obvious that he’ll prove a big upgrade from Case Keenum, who played one of the best seasons in franchise history last year, but in terms of the 2018 free-agent class, Cousins will have the most success this season.
Mike Sando, senior NFL writer: Alex Smith, Washington Redskins. Of all the quarterbacks changing teams, Smith is the one who has proven that he can succeed in multiple places/systems. I’m less sure of how Cousins will deal with expectations in a new environment, though he is obviously set up for success with a strong supporting cast.
Dan Graziano, national NFL writer: Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints. Full disclosure: I’m doing this a little bit later in the project, and I see a ton of people picked Cousins. But Brees was a free agent who just happened to re-sign with the same team. I like the Saints as NFC favorites, and while I like their run game (even with Mark Ingram suspended for the first four games), I expect a little bit of regression to the mean in terms of the scoring balance between the run game and the pass game. Brees had an excellent 2017, but his 23 touchdown passes were his fewest in a season as a Saint. I think he rebounds to eye-popping statistical territory as he breaks big career passing records.
Mike Clay, NFL writer: Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings. The offensive line is still shaky, but Cousins is otherwise positioned well for a massive first season in Minnesota. The team’s loaded defense will shorten the field, and he’ll have a terrific group of weapons with Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs, Dalvin Cook, Kyle Rudolph and Kendall Wright.
KC Joyner, NFL writer: Alex Smith, Washington Redskins. Smith is coming off a season in which he ranked second in yards per attempt (8.0), so Washington won’t be asking him to be a dink-and-dunk passer. It’s also notable that Cousins ranked ninth in yards per attempt (7.6) last season despite playing in an offense that by season’s end was crippled by injuries at nearly every position. Give Smith a relatively healthy supporting cast for a full campaign, and he can once again contend for a top-five spot in YPA.
Matt Bowen, NFL writer: Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings. With running back Dalvin Cook back in the mix and a proven group of pass-catchers with which to work, Cousins is in position to post consistent numbers in Minnesota. Plus, given the Vikings’ top-tier defense under Mike Zimmer, Cousins will benefit from bonus possessions and sudden change opportunities. That’s when you take a shot to the end zone.
Which offseason addition will make the biggest impact in 2018?
Bowen: Tyrann Mathieu, S, Houston Texans. His past injuries have to be discussed, but the former Cardinal played faster on tape toward the end of 2017. He’s an upgrade in Houston at a position of need, and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel can utilize Mathieu’s versatility in the game plan. Think of a defensive matchup weapon here who can find the ball and play multiple roles for a secondary that struggled last season.
Clay: Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib, CBs, Los Angeles Rams. It’s hard to mention one without the other, so I’m going to cheat and go with the two trades the Rams made to acquire superstar corners Peters and Talib. Yes, Peters has some off-the-field concerns, and Talib is now 32, but both have been top-10 performers at the position the past few seasons and, along with Ndamukong Suh, help position the Rams as legit Super Bowl contenders in 2018.
Graziano: Nate Solder, OT, New York Giants. The Giants haven’t scored 30 points in a game since Week 17 of 2015, Tom Coughlin’s last season as head coach. There are myriad reasons for the drought, but the main reason the offense hasn’t worked is that the line hasn’t played well. Moving on from 2015 draft bust Ereck Flowers and replacing him with a reliable veteran at left tackle should allow the Giants at least a chance to see how good their offense can be. The price tag on Solder was massive and could cause the Giants problems down the line. But he should make a big difference in 2018.
Joyner: Jimmy Graham, TE, Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has the reputation of not throwing to his tight ends often enough, yet over the past four seasons, Rodgers ranks 10th in completion percentage (51.6) and touchdown percentage (51.6) on end zone throws to tight ends. Those numbers should vault close to the top of the league now that Rodgers has a jump ball tight end of Graham’s caliber, and this pairing could combine for double-digit touchdowns this season.
Sando: Case Keenum, QB, Denver Broncos. It’s either Keenum or Tyrod Taylor, simply because they are competent quarterbacks joining teams that were horrendous at the position last season. Even average play from them will provide massive upgrades. I’ll go with Keenum because there isn’t a highly drafted quarterback waiting to take his job.
Aaron Schatz, editor-in-chief of Football Outsiders: Tyrod Taylor, QB, Cleveland Browns. Or Baker Mayfield. It doesn’t matter which one of them it is; either should be a massive upgrade on what Cleveland had at the quarterback position last season.
Seifert: Jimmy Graham, TE, Green Bay Packers. Rodgers has a strong history with tight ends who provide even the slightest mismatch. He looked often for Jermichael Finley from 2009 to 2013 (5.6 targets per game) and Jared Cook (5.1) in 2016. Even if Graham’s best days are behind him, he is with a quarterback who wants to use the tight end as much as any in the NFL.
Field Yates, NFL Insider: Saquon Barkley, RB, New York Giants. It’s hard for me to look past a player who is primed for the possibility of handling 250-plus total touches right away. We’ve seen rookie running backs make an immediate impact in recent seasons, and Barkley has a decidedly clear avenue to doing the same for the G-Men.
Which team declined the most this offseason?
Yates: Buffalo Bills. Note an important caveat: There is a long-term building process that was followed and not in any way compromised this offseason. The Bills performed exceptionally well in single-score games last season (6-2), which played an integral part in snapping their postseason drought. But it was clear they were not sold on Tyrod Taylor as the long-term quarterback solution, and they utilized their robust draft capital to select Josh Allen seventh overall. Factoring in the QB transition and offensive-line shuffle, Buffalo profiles as a regression team in the short term.
Seifert: Miami Dolphins. Their plan is difficult to discern. They’ve parted ways with most of their best players, from Ndamukong Suh to Jarvis Landry, and added a crew of aging veterans that includes tailback Frank Gore (35 when the season begins), receiver Danny Amendola (32) and guard Josh Sitton (32). Their faith in quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who is returning from ACL surgery, is risky at best. The Dolphins aren’t rebuilding in any functional way, but their roster is not ready to compete for a playoff spot, either. That’s a major step back.
Schatz: Buffalo Bills. The QB situation is a mess. Even if you’re a believer in Allen (I’m not), you have to admit he’s the kind of quarterback who will likely require a lot of work to transition. The offensive line is a mess, too, with Buffalo’s three best linemen gone via either trade or retirement. Football Outsiders’ free-agency analysis also shows edge rusher Trent Murphy as one of this year’s signings least likely to live up to the value of his three-year, $22.5 million contract.
Joyner: Seattle Seahawks. Mel Kiper gave them his lowest grade of the draft, and their free-agent additions were arguably the least inspiring in the league. Those might be enough to drop Seattle to the bottom of this list, but how in the world did the Seahawks do so little to upgrade the offensive line, which was arguably the worst in the league last season?
Graziano: Seattle Seahawks. The decline obviously started last season, sooner than most of us expected. But losing Michael Bennett, Richard Sherman, Cliff Avril and Sheldon Richardson in the same offseason (with Kam Chancellor‘s situation still unresolved) is to see a foundation crumble underneath you. Pete Carroll is not to be underestimated as a puzzle-solver, but does he have enough pieces?
Clay: Miami Dolphins. It was hard not to think of the Chip Kelly-era Eagles when watching the Dolphins chase “culture” while moving on from talented players such as Jay Ajayi, Suh, Pouncey, Landry and Michael Thomas over the past several months. Miami is weak or below average at most positions and is suddenly a candidate for the first overall pick in next April’s draft.
Bowen: Seattle Seahawks. The “Legion of Boom” used to dictate the flow of the game. Play three-deep coverage, challenge routes and physically control the middle of the field. No free passes there. However, with Sherman now in San Francisco, Chancellor facing an uncertain future and a front-four pass rush that must be retooled, the Seahawks have crucial roles to fill on the defensive side of the ball in a division that features quarterbacks Jared Goff and Jimmy Garoppolo.
Which team improved the most this offseason?
Bowen: Los Angeles Rams. The arrow is pointing up for the Bears and Browns after productive offseasons, but I’m looking at the Rams due to the proven, veteran talent they brought in via trades and free agency. Cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib have the playmaking skills to find the ball in the secondary. Go get it. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh bolsters the interior of the front line next to All-Pro Aaron Donald. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks is an upgrade for the passing game. Strong, aggressive moves put this squad in position to win the NFC West and make a serious playoff run.
Clay: Cleveland Browns. They had the league’s worst quarterback play in 2017 but solidified it by acquiring Tyrod Taylor and first overall pick Baker Mayfield. Joe Thomas and Danny Shelton are gone, but Cleveland stocked up with talent: E.J. Gaines, TJ Carrie, Carlos Hyde, Jarvis Landry, Chris Hubbard and Damarious Randall as well as early-round rookies Denzel Ward, Austin Corbett and Nick Chubb. This is a team on the rise.
Graziano: Chicago Bears. The problem is that because of the strength of their division, I don’t know that the improvement will necessarily show in the standings. The Bears spent big in free agency, which isn’t always the best way to go, but they’ve improved their wide receiver corps and kept their secondary intact with that spending. I believe their top three draft picks — Roquan Smith, James Daniels and Anthony Miller — are guys who can help them right away at positions of significant need.
Joyner: Cleveland Browns. It’s incredible that the Browns were able to improve in as many ways as they did this offseason. They added two quality quarterbacks, have a logjam of good running backs with the additions of Hyde and Chubb, brought in three solid cornerbacks in free agency and acquired the best coverage cornerback in the draft (Ward). Three new offensive linemen give the Browns one of the deepest blocking walls in the NFL, and they added Landry, arguably the best possession receiver in the league.
Seifert: New York Jets. Stay with me for a moment. There is no doubt that the Browns have raised their talent level more from 2017 to 2018. But they also had the furthest to go. The Jets’ drafting of quarterback Sam Darnold establishes a long-term focus for what was already a decently talented roster. For the first time in six years, the Jets know whom they’re building around. Don’t underestimate the value in that, even if Darnold doesn’t make a huge impact in 2018.
Yates: Cleveland Browns. From a talent-added standpoint relative to where the team was last season, Cleveland takes the cake. That, of course, includes the fact that this team was historically bad in 2017, becoming just the second to go 0-16. The Browns have cultivated a short- and long-term plan at quarterback and talent across the offense, and they reshaped the secondary. | <urn:uuid:2bfdcba1-73d3-4f6b-a4d6-14c5023b4b27> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.sportsxen.com/nfl-insiders-predict-best-worst-teams-after-free-agency-and-draft/ | 2020-08-03T18:00:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735823.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20200803170210-20200803200210-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.956518 | 2,854 | [

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
From Calvin downwards this psalm has been recognised as an ode celebrating the nuptials of some king. Indeed, the retention, as part of its title, of “song of loves,” when the poem was incorporated into the Temple hymn-book, seems to show that this secular character was admitted even then. There is just enough of historical allusion in the psalm to invite conjecture as to the monarch who is its theme, and too little to permit of his identification. (See Notes to Psalm 45:8-9; Psalm 45:12.) But, as in the case of the longer and more pronounced epithalamium, the Song of Solomon, religious scruples soon rejected this secular interpretation, and sought by allegorical and mystical explanations to bring the poem more within the circle of recognised sacred literature. With the glowing prophetic visions of a conquering Messiah floating before the imagination, it was most natural for the Jews to give the psalm a distinctive Messianic character. Equally natural was it for Christians to adopt the psalm as allegorical of the marriage of the Church with the Divine Head—a mode of interpretation which, once started, found in every turn and expression of the psalm some fruitful type or symbol. The rhythm is flowing and varied.
Title.—Upon Shoshannim, i.e., upon lilies. The same inscription occurs again in Psalms 69 and in an altered form in Psalms 60, 80, where see Notes. The most probable explanation makes it refer to the tune to which the hymn was to be sung. (Comp. the title of Psalms 22 &c) As to the actual flower intended by shoshannim, see Note, Song of Solomon 2:1. The expression, a song of loves, means either a love song (so Aquila), or a song of the beloved. Symm., LXX., and Vulg., for the beloved, or a song of charms, i.e., a pleasant song. The first is more in keeping with the evident origin and intention of the poem. (See besides titles Psalms 4, 42, 32)
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.(1) Inditing.—A most unhappy rendering of a word, which, though only used here, must, from the meaning of its derivative (a “pot,” or “cauldron”), have something to do with a liquid, and means either to “boil over” or to “bubble up.” The LXX. and Vulg. have apparently thought of the bursting out of a fountain: eructavit. Symmachus has, “been set in motion.” The “spring,” or “fountain,” is a common emblem of inspired fancy:—
“Ancient founts of inspiration well through all my fancy yet.”
TENNYSON: Locksley Hall.
A good matter.—That is, a theme worthy a poet’s song. Luther: “A fine song.”
I speak of the things which I have made touching the king.—This rendering follows the LXX., Vulg., and most of the older translations. Perhaps, however, we are to understand Aquila and Symmachus as rendering “my poems;” and undoubtedly the true rendering is, I am speaking: my poem is of a king (not the king, as in Authorised Version).
My tongue . . .—So lofty a theme, so august a subject, inspires him with thoughts that flow freely. The ready or expeditious scribe (LXX. and Vulg., “A scribe writing quickly”) was, as we learn from Ezra 7:6, a recognised form of praise for a distinguished member of that body, one of whose functions was to make copies of the Law.
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.(2) Thou art fairer.—Better, Fair art thou; aye, fairer than, &c. We may thus reproduce the Hebrew expression, which, however, grammatically explained, must convey this emphasis. The old versions render: “Thou art fair with beauty;” or, “Thou hast been made beautiful with beauty.”
Grace is poured into thy lips.—Better, A flowing grace is on thy lips, which may refer either to the beauty of the mouth, or to the charm of its speech. Cicero, himself the grandest example of his own expression, says of another that “Persuasion had her seat upon his lips;” while Christian commentators have all naturally thought of Him at whose “words of grace” all men wondered.
Therefore.—This word is apparently out of place. But there is nothing harsh in rendering: Therefore, we say, God hath blessed thee for ever. And we are struck by the emphasis of its occurrence in Psalm 45:7; Psalm 45:17, as well as here. Ewald seems to be right in printing the clause so begun as a kind of refrain. The poet enumerates in detail the beauties of the monarch and his bride, and is interrupted by the acclaim of his hearers, who cannot withhold their approving voices.
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.(3) Gird thy sword . . . O most mighty.—Or, perhaps, Gird on thy sword in hero guise; or, Gird on thy hero’s sword. The object of the poet’s praise is as heroic in war as he is beautiful in person.
With thy glory and thy majesty.—This adverbial use of the accusatives may be right, but it seems better to take them in apposition with sword. His weapon was the monarch’s glory and pride. Some commentators see here a reference to the custom of girding on the sword said to be still observed at the elevation to the throne of a Persian or Ottoman prince. But the next verse shows that we have rather an ideal picture of the royal bridegroom’s prowess in war.
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.(4) And in thy majesty.—The repetition of this word from the last verse (conjunction included) is suspicious, especially as the LXX., followed by the Vulg., render, “Direct (thine arrows or thine aim”).
Ride prosperously . . .—Literally, proceed, ride; expressing, according to a common Hebrew usage, by two verbs what we express by adverb and verb.
Because of . . .—Better, In behalf of. So LXX. and Vulg. There is a difficulty from the absence of the conjunction in the Hebrew before the last of the triad of virtues. The LXX. have it, but may have supplied it, as the Authorised Version does. Some render, “meek righteousness,” or, slightly changing the pointing, “the afflicted righteous.”
And thy right hand shall teach . . .—If we keep this rendering, we must picture the warrior with his right hand extended, pointing to the foe whom he is about to strike with his deadly arrows. But even this seems somewhat tame; and as the verb rendered “teach” is in 1Samuel 20:20 used for “shooting arrows,” and “arrows” are mentioned immediately in the next verse, it seems obvious to render: And thy right hand shall shoot terrors, or, terribly. (Comp. Psalm 65:5.)
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.(5) Thine arrows.—Our version has transposed the clauses of this verse. The original is more vivid.
“Thine arrows are sharpened—
The people under Thee fall—
Against the heart of the king’s enemies.”
The poet actually sees the battle raging before him.
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.(6) Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.—This is the rendering of the LXX., Vulg., and of the versions generally. But whether they supposed the words to be addressed to the Divine Being, or that the theocratic king is thus styled, is uncertain. The Christian use of the verse as applied to the Messiah (Hebrews 1:8, Note, New Testament Commentary) does not help us to explain how the monarch, who is the poet’s theme here, could be addressed as God. The use of Elohîm in Psalm 82:6; Psalm 97:7, Exodus 22:28, hardly offers a satisfactory parallel, and even 1Samuel 28:13 (where we should render, “I saw a god, &c) hardly prepares us to find such an emphatic ascription to an earthly king, especially in an Elohistic psalm. Two alternative renderings present themselves—(1) Thy throne of God is for ever . . . i.e., thy divine throne. (Comp. Psalm 31:2, “thy refuge of strength.”) (2) Thy throne is of God for ever, which is grammatically preferable, and with which may be compared 1Chronicles 29:23, “the throne of the Lord.”
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.(7) The oil of gladness.—Comp. “oil of joy,” Isaiah 61:3. Here too it may be merely employed as a figure of happiness, but the bath and, no doubt, subsequent anointing, formed part of the Oriental marriage proceedings. (See Arabian Nights, passim.)
Fellows—i.e., the paranymphs, or attendants on the bridegroom.
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.(8) All thy garments smell of . . .—Or, perhaps, from the last verse (and comparing Psalm 133:2, and the customs there referred to), are anointed with. The spices mentioned may have been ingredients of the “oil of gladness.”
For myrrh see Genesis 37:25.
Aloes.—Heb. ahālôth (sometimes ahālîm), a word formed from the native name aghil (Cochin China and Siam are its homes), which also appears in eagle-wood (Aquilaria agallochum). The lign aloes of Numbers 24:6, was most probably a different tree from that whose resin forms the precious perfume here mentioned. (See Bib. Ed. i. 243.)
Cassia.—See Note Exodus 30:24.
The Oriental’s love for these mixtures of many fragrant spices has been finely caught in some modern lines.
“Heap cassia, sandal-buds, and stripes
Of labdanum, and aloe-balls,
Smeared with dull nard an Indian wipes
From out her hair, such balsam falls
From seaside mountain pedestals,
From tree-tops where tired winds are fain—
Spent with the vast and howling main—
To treasure half their island gain.”
R. BROWNING: Paracelsus.
Out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.—Rather, out of the ivory palaces music (literally, strings) has made thee glad.
Of the many conjectured explanations this, though somewhat grammatically doubtful, is in all other respects preferable. Indeed, it would have been strange if a nuptial ode, giving a picture of the splendour and pomp accompanying the marriage, had missed the mention of music, and at this verse we may imagine the doors of the palace thrown open for the issue of the bridal train (comp. the procession immediately after the bath in the weddings in the Arabian Nights), not only allowing the strains of music to float out, but also giving a glimpse into the interior, where, surrounded by her train of ladies, the queen-bride stands.
The word rendered “palace” (generally “temple,”) may from its derivation be only a spacious place, and so a receptacle. On the other hand, Amos 3:15 shows that ivory was frequently used as an ornament of the houses of the rich, and Ahab’s “ivory house” (1Kings 22:39) is familiar.
Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.(9) Honourable women.—Literally, precious ones, i.e., possibly the favourites of the harem. See Proverbs 6:26, where this word precious is used (comp. Jeremiah 31:20), or there may be an allusion to the costliness and magnificence of the harem rather than to affection for its inmates. Perhaps both senses are combined in the word, and we may compare Shakespeare’s
“The jewels of our father, with washed eyes
Cordelia leaves you.”
Upon thy right hand.—Comp. 1Kings 2:19.
Did stand.—Better, was stationed, referring to the position assigned to the bride when the marriage procession was formed.
In gold of Ophir.—Or, possibly, as (i.e., precious as) gold of Ophir, a common use of this particle. For Ophir and its gold see 1Kings 9:28. The LXX. and Vulg. miss the proper name, and read, “clothed in golden vesture and many-coloured.”
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;(10) Hearken.—The address now turns to the bride.
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.(11) Worship thou him.—Literally, Bow down or prostrate thyself.
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.(12) And the daughter of Tyre—i.e., Tyre itself and the Tyrians. (See Note Psalm 9:14.) Render,
The Tyrians with a gift entreat thy favour,
The rich ones of the people.
The objection that Tyre was never subject to Israel is not conclusive, since the gifts may be complimentary presents, such as Hiram sent to Solomon, not tribute. (See next Note.)
Entreat thy favour.—Literally, stroke thy face (comp. Job 11:19, Proverbs 19:6); or since the root-idea is one of polishing or making bright, we may render “makes thy face bright or joyful,” i.e., with pleasure at the splendid gifts.
The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.(13) The king’s daughter is all glorious within—i.e., in the interior, in the inner room of the palace. The next clause would alone dismiss the reference to moral qualities from which has sprung such a wealth of mystic interpretation. But what palace is intended? Certainly not that of the royal bridegroom, since the procession (see Psalm 45:14) has not yet reached its destination. We must therefore think of her waiting, in all the splendour of her bridal array, in her own apartments, or in some temporary abode.
Wrought gold—i.e., textures woven with gold. The Hebrew word is used also of gems set in gold. The Eastern tales just referred to speak of the custom of repeatedly changing the bride’s dress during the marriage ceremonies, every time presenting her in greater magnificence than before.
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.(14) In raiment of needlework.—This is now more generally understood of rich tapestry carpets spread for the procession. (Comp. Æsch. Agam. 908-910.)
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.(16) Whom thou mayest make princes.—Historical illustrations have been found in 1Kings 22:26, where Joash, David’s son, appears as a governor or a prince of a city (comp. Zephaniah 1:8), and in the division of his realm into principalities by Solomon.

Powering Aatmanirbhar Bharat through Innovation and Entrepreneurship
An ongoing pandemic of unprecedented proportions, Covid-19 has impacted lives and livelihoods across the globe. Even as the best minds in the world race towards finding preventive and curative solutions to combat and curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, the current crisis has been an eye-opener to several opportunities that have presented themselves during this time.
To this end, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi made a clarion call for an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, or a self-reliant India, that would be a source of local ingenuity creating global impact. He exhorted fellow citizens to utilize this time of crisis to be vocal for local and be self-reliant.
He eloquently identified five pillars on which Aatmanirbhar Bharat would stand and on which a New India could pole-vault to an era of sustainable economic prosperity and societal good, bridging the economic as well as digital divides between the haves and the have-nots.
To make these pillars truly powerful and resilient, designed to withstand any onslaughts of potential new crises, it is imperative to strengthen them through the creation of an underlying ecosystem of institutionalized skills development, advanced research, and technology-driven innovations. This would incentivize a massive upsurge of world-class startups and entrepreneurs, that would create new livelihoods across the length and breadth of the country.
Creating a nation of job-creators and not just job-seekers is the key. And central to this, is the need for an extensive collaboration between corporate industry, academia, and governments at the village, district, state and central levels. Such synergies have indeed gained momentum with the Covid-19 crisis and need to be further capitalized on.
Let’s examine the five pillars through the lens of innovation and entrepreneurship.
We begin with the pillar of demographic dividend. With over 65% of our country under 35 years of age, more than 1.4 million schools and 10,500 engineering and related institutions, a whopping 39,000 colleges and universities, India enjoys a demographic dividend like no other in the world. It is imperative that we enable the channelization of this youthful energy towards nation-building activities by focusing on developing vocational, technical and managerial skills, while fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at the school, university and industry levels. Innovative ways of leveraging emerging digital technologies can create and promote such ecosystems. This presents a huge opportunity for hundreds of edtech startups to build and leverage wireless, 5G communication, mobile AR/VR, and AI technologies to power the same. Existing government initiatives—such as Atal Tinkering Labs and AI curricula at school levels, incubators and innovation cells at university levels, and fostering startups and vocational training in emerging new areas—must also be accelerated to strengthen this pillar.
Second is the pillar of infrastructure. India has over 715 districts, more than 4000 cities and 6,00,000 villages. Undisputedly, innovation and entrepreneurship will be key to ensuring the development of both physical as well as digital infrastructure across all these regions in the country. The nation needs smart villages and several hundred smart cities to become active hubs of livelihood enablement, innovation, and job creation. Smart water management, transportation, energy management, and housing present tremendous opportunities for innovations and startups.
This is vital to prevent a lopsided development of our economy and an unsustainable urban migration to a handful of tier-1 cities. The pillar of infrastructure would also require construction of digital highways, which would ensure that innovations reach every common citizen be it in education, healthcare, housing, or job enablement. This presents a glorious opportunity for young creative entrepreneurs to tap into and create growing organizations with global impact.
For the third pillar, demand, India has the perfect environment. It has over 1.3 billion people, a youthful population, a growing middle class, one of the fastest-growing economies of the world, and affordable, available advanced technology to reimagine new solutions to existing and emerging consumer needs. An ideal situation for thousands of startups and companies to capitalize on and fulfil pent-up demand for new solutions and consumer- or citizen-centric services in every vertical— agriculture, healthcare, education, water management, clean and renewable energy, affordable housing, defence, space, transportation, or retail.
The pillar of demand presents an unprecedented opportunity for Make in India in every industry. There has been an increasing number of challenges launched by various ministries—MeitY, AIM (Atal New India Challenges), DST (Kawach), DBT BIRAC (biotech challenges)—as well as Covid-19 challenges for preventive assistive solutions, spurring a remarkable slew of innovative solutions.
The recent announcements of private sector participation for innovations in the space and defence sectors open up a flood of new opportunities for the MSME industry. Any solution developed for 1.3 billion people can also be a possible solution for the 7+ billion people on the planet. The recently launched Bharat App Innovation Challenge by MeitY, MyGov, and Atal Innovation Mission is a welcome step to identify and create world-class apps that can be used by the rest of the world too.
Next, we come to the pillar of technology. The remarkable growth of the fast-growing 180 billion USD IT/ITES and biotech industry in India over the past decade has showed the world India’s scientific, engineering and technological prowess and capabilities. The best multinationals of the world are leveraging Indian talent and rushing to set up large R&D hubs in India. Aatmanirbhar Bharat has now turned the gaze of this world-class innovative talent inwards, to create products and services for the Indian market at par with other countries. Catalysing this stupendous potential are affordable, accessible, advanced IR 4.0 technologies, including 3D printing, IOT, AR/VR, biotech, cognitive computing, AI/Blockchain, to name a few. With one of the fastest-growing startup ecosystems—over 30,000 startups and 250 incubators—India can surely position itself as one of the leading innovative nations of the world.
Final, is the pillar of socio-economic growth. With 22% of its population still below the poverty line, 44% of its economy still agri-based, many districts still combating unacceptable percentages of infant mortality and maternal mortality, and only a mere 13% of women entrepreneurs, India needs to ensure that rapid economic progress encompasses societal progress.
The time is ripe for micro-finance and rural-financing schemes to spur great innovations and entrepreneurial initiatives on the socio-economic front. It is crucial to ensure gender equality, address economic disparity and equal opportunities for differently abled communities. Fast-growing economies such as ours also need to be extremely wary of climate change–related issues. Therefore, it is important that the Sustainable Development Goals remain the overarching objective of every organization.
Aatmanirbhar Bharat provides a truly watershed moment in our history to ignite the innovative entrepreneurial spirit of New India by focusing on strengthening the above pillars, which will ensure an unprecedented wave of long-deserved growth, prosperity and well-being that can serve the interests of the rest of the world as well.

Hmm, I thought I had put these up already. Apparently not. Sphinx moths. You love them, right? As you should. They’re sort of fancy-pants. This is a White-lined Sphinx (Hyles lineata) unless someone tells me otherwise. Not really the easiest photo subject. These shots aren’t all that sharp but I like ’em anyway. My attention span was lacking this day (as it often is) so I didn’t spend a ton of time trying to get a winner. This particular moth was fixated on one or two flowers and wasn’t moving around as much as the they normally do, making a few better photo ops. I’m a big of sphinx moths. They make me happy. | <urn:uuid:f6837b30-864c-48ef-8f8e-2f7c5b1fa499> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://focusingonwildlife.com/news/dont-call-him-hummingbird/ | 2020-08-10T08:00:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738653.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810072511-20200810102511-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.971836 | 164 | [

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (13-3) vs. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (13-3)
Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. ET. U.S. Bank Stadium (Approx. 66,000)
The New England Patriots will be looking for their second straight Super Bowl title and their third in the last four seasons when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Super Bowl LII will be a rematch of Super Bowl XXXIX when the Patriots beat the Eagles, 24-21, on Feb. 6, 2005. It will be the sixth Super Bowl rematch in NFL history.
New England reached its 10th Super Bowl with a comeback win over Jacksonville in the AFC Championship Game. The Patriots erased a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to claim the win. When the Patriots won their third Super Bowl in a four year span in the 2004 season, they beat the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX. Now as they attempt the same feat more than a decade later, the Eagles are once again their foe.
Super Bowl LII will be broadcast by NBC and can be seen locally on NBC BOSTON Channel 10 in Boston. Al Michaels will handle play-by-play duties with Cris Collinsworth as the color analyst. Michele Tafoya will work the sidelines. The game will be produced by Fred Gaudelli and directed by Drew Esocoff. | <urn:uuid:7a7ba9a6-6d36-4c82-ae5d-1538704023de> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.thebostoncalendar.com/events/super-bowl-lii-new-england-patriots-vs-philadelphia-eagles | 2020-08-10T08:36:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738653.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810072511-20200810102511-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.926436 | 304 | [

Ongoing wet weather in the Corn Belt, along with uncertainty associated with recent executive and legislative branch policy related actions, have converged on U.S. farmers as planting deadlines loom. With June just days away, producers are sorting though both known, and significant unknown variables, in an effort to figure out how to maximize returns on their operations. Today’s update highlights some of these issues in more detail.
Unprecedented Weather Issues, Late Planting
The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) noted in its Weekly National Grain Market Review on Friday that, “Monday’s planting progress report for the week ending May 19th revealed that planting pace for corn is now 29 percent behind a year ago and 31 percent behind the the 5 year average. Notable states and their progress behind the 5 year average; Illinois-65 pct, Indiana-59 pct, Ohio-53 pct, Iowa-19 pct and Nebraska-16 pct.”
The AMS update added that, “Soybean acres planted are 34 percent behind a year ago and 28 percent behind the 5 year average.”
Friday’s Market Review also explained that, “Analysts are now very much concerned about how many acres will either go through a prevented planting scenario or move from corn to soybean production this growing season.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg News weather reporter Brian K Sullivan indicated on Friday that,
The rain across the Midwest and Great Plains that’s closed refineries, flooded streets and snarled Mississippi River traffic shows no sign of abating, adding to the U.S.’s wettest 12-month stretch on record.
The Bloomberg article stated that, “The 12 months ending in April have been the contiguous U.S.’s wettest yearlong stretch on record, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.”
Friday’s article added that, “‘Planting across key areas of the corn belt has been seriously hampered,’ said Jim Rouiller, chief meteorologist at the Energy Weather Group. ‘The near-term to medium-range weather models point to this weather pattern persisting into mid June.'”
Here is the latest precipitation forecast for the next 7 days. The persistent wet pattern will continue across the Plains and Midwest, with heavy rain also possible across the Northern Rockies early this week. https://t.co/47M8fG8wb3 pic.twitter.com/1lL6E3daoy— NWS WPC (@NWSWPC) May 26, 2019
Also last week, Wall Street Journal writers Jesse Newman and Jacob Bunge reported that, “The dismal weather is another blow to farmers and agricultural companies during a prolonged slump in the U.S. farm economy. Six straight years of bumper crops have swelled grain supplies and pushed down prices for farmers, while protracted trade disputes have slowed crop exports, further pressuring farm income and agribusiness profits.”
And New York Times writers Julie Bosman and Manny Fernandez reported Friday that, “This spring has been a season of record-breaking floods across the Midwest, submerging farms, businesses and houses. Scientists have predicted that the flooding this year could be worse than the historic floods of 1993, which devastated the region.”
Decisions in an Uncertain Environment- MFP Payments, Disaster Aid, Prevented Plant
As producers grapple with planting under these difficult weather conditions, the U.S., China trade war continues to percolate; which prompted the Trump administration last week to announce a $16 billion proposal to help offset the adverse financial impacts of the ongoing trade conflict on American farmers.
Recall that farmers will have to plant a crop this spring to be eligible for the market facilitation program (MFP) payments and that the USDA has not disclosed what the MFP payment rates will be. The payments will not be based on a specific crop, will vary by county, and will be based on the number of acres planted.
Adding to the developments affecting producers, New York Times writer Emily Cochrane reported last week that, “The Senate on Thursday passed a long-delayed disaster relief package, a step toward ending a monthslong impasse that had prevented the release of billions of dollars in aid for farmers and communities struggling to recover from an onslaught of natural disasters over the last two years.”
Senate just passed supplemental disaster bill Includes my amendment to cover grain lost from busted grain bins due to flooding & $$ available to Iowans affected by flooding etc More disaster $$ will b needed after all flood assessments are complete but this is good start— ChuckGrassley (@ChuckGrassley) May 23, 2019
“The delay has been particularly hard on farmers, already bruised by the administration’s trade war and reluctant to move forward in the middle of planting season without the promise of federal aid,” the Times article said.
The measure was blocked by Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy in the House on Friday.
While political games over disaster assistance continue as a Member from TX blocked a package from getting to @POTUS desk today, one thing is clear: This bill has broad support & will advance when the House reconvenes & will be signed into law by POTUS the first week of June.— Rep. Austin Scott (@AustinScottGA08) May 24, 2019
AP writer Andrew Taylor explained last week that, “Democrats said the House might try to again pass the measure next week during a session, like Friday’s, that would otherwise be pro forma. If that doesn’t succeed, a quick bipartisan vote would come after Congress returns next month from its Memorial Day recess.”
President Trump supports the bill.
Title I of the Senate disaster aid measure, which covers agriculture, stated in part that, “For an additional amount for the ‘’Office of the Secretary’’, $3,005,442,000, which shall remain available until December 31, 2020, for necessary expenses related to losses of crops (including milk, on-farm stored commodities, crops prevented from planting in 2019, and harvested adulterated wine grapes), trees, bushes, and vines, as a consequence of Hurricanes Michael and Florence, other hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires occurring in calendar years 2018 and 2019 under such terms and conditions as determined by the Secretary…”
4. Call me a cynic, but I don't think it was an accident that this provision was in a disaster bill with $3B passed yesterday afternoon! Hmmm. PP acres not eligible for MFP, but then bam, a bill appears with mucho funding and PP acres are eligible for disaster payments. pic.twitter.com/8PuVT8sdw4— Scott Irwin (@ScottIrwinUI) May 24, 2019
Richard Fordyce, the Administrator of USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), spoke with Mike Adams on Friday’s Adams on Agriculture radio program about variables associated with trade aid, and the disaster bill (audio replay here (MP3- 7:30); transcript here).
With respect to the MFP payments, Mr. Fordyce noted that, “And so producers need to know that they are also…that they’re going to be paid by planted acres, so it’s not going to matter if it’s a Title 1 or some other crops that’ll probably be included in that as well, that if they are planted, they will get a payment per acre. So folks shouldn’t think that one crop is going to pay more than another because there will be a specific payment per acre by county based on planted acres, no matter what that’s planted to as far as a Title 1 crop.”
Mr. Adams asked, “But prevent acres, which will be many this year, it looks like, will not be part of this. That will be covered under the disaster aid package, is that correct?”
Mr. Fordyce indicated that, “It could be, Mike. And I think that we’re still trying to understand what that is and what that’s going to be at this point. But at this time the MFP Part 2 will pay on planted acres only at this point.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg writer Michael Hirtzer, reporting last week within the context of the planting requirement for MFP payments, explained that, “That seems simple enough, except that after heavy rains and flooding in the American heartland this spring farmers were expected to discontinue their planting plans. Speculation was mounting that growers would instead opt to make claims for so-called prevented plant insurance.”
“If the aid prompts farmers to go for plantings instead of the insurance payments, it could end up hurting crop markets in the long run since that would mean more production at a time when prices have been weighed down for years by ample supplies,” the article said.
10. Bottom-line is that MFP and plant/no plant decision are coupled and increases incentive for planting by some amount. Is this really sound policy in a year when tens of millions of acres may be considered for PP?— Scott Irwin (@ScottIrwinUI) May 24, 2019
In a separate Bloomberg article last week, Mr. Hirtzer reported that, “Worries over tighter supplies due to the soggy weather drove Chicago corn futures to surge as much as 3.9% on Friday, topping $4 a bushel and rising to the highest level in almost a year.
May 24: CBOT #corn futures top $4 per bushel in the front month for the first time since May 29, 2018. Just 11 days ago, corn had bottomed out at $3.35-1/2. Delays for #plant19 remain in focus and the forecast is still wet for most areas. pic.twitter.com/lKv0QimemQ— Karen Braun (@kannbwx) May 24, 2019
“The wet weather’s showing no signs of easing, and the insurance deadline for sowing has already passed for some farmers in southwestern Missouri, southeastern Kansas and western Tennessee. They now have to decide whether to plant with less coverage, or make prevented-plant claims.”
And DTN writer Katie Dehlinger reported on Friday that, “This spring’s planting decisions may be as clear as mud, yet they carry heavy financial consequences.
‘You couldn’t have planned this to be more confusing,’ said University of Illinois economist Gary Schnitkey. ‘The falling out of the trade deal happened right when we were getting to the point of planting corn.’
“Then, persistent heavy rains across wide swaths of the Corn Belt kept farmers from their fields, forcing many producers to weigh their options: take a prevented planting payment from crop insurance, plant corn but with lower insurance coverage levels or switch to soybeans.
“‘So it just becomes a point of looking for the alternative that you think has the highest expected return, even though it’s probably not the return that you’d like,’ he said. Many farmers will still be looking at negative incomes as they put pen to paper.” | <urn:uuid:307aacb6-7e74-4d94-bf77-8557643c6795> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2019/05/weather-and-policy-uncertainty-converge-on-farmers-planting-decisions/?utm_source=farmdoc+daily+and+Farm+Policy+News+Updates&utm_campaign=f68244863c-FPN_RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2caf2f9764-f68244863c-175254369 | 2020-08-12T06:40:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738878.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812053726-20200812083726-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.952455 | 2,373 | [

NZXT H1 (Matte White)
The all-new NZXT H1 provides a beautifully small vertical chassis, maintaining full-sized GPU compatibility. The building experience is streamlined, with pre-routed cable channels and an integrated PSU and AIO liquid cooler. The dual-chamber exhaust layout maintains superior cooling for the CPU and GPU, providing each with a dedicated air source.
The compact vertical design provides a small spatial footprint while maintaining support for most full-sized GPU’s on the market so you can maintain your desk real estate without sacrificing graphics power.
The toolless SSD tray and riser card are incredibly simple to install. In addition to pre-routed cables, the motherboard I/O faces down, routing all cables through the bottom of the case for a clean, simplified appearance.
Integrated power supply and AIO liquid cooler provide a better build experience, along with pre-routed cables that make it easy to manage the clutter and cut down on build time. An integrated PCIe Riser card is also included for vertical GPU mounting.
The dual-chamber airflow is thermally designed to allow the CPU, GPU, and PSU to pull in fresh air, and exhaust hot air without affecting temperatures of neighboring components. | <urn:uuid:deba456a-3b2f-47df-83cd-d7bbad9252dc> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.altechcomputer.com/product-page/nzxt-h1-matte-white-pre-order | 2020-08-12T06:43:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738878.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812053726-20200812083726-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.870843 | 534 | [

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was certainly eventful. On Saturday, I participated in my first ever MUDGIRL Run. MUDGIRL is an outdoor 5k obstacle course with over 17 challenges and runs annually in selected cities across Canada. The Toronto event took place in Uxbridge at Dagmar Ski Resort, which is located in the Oak Ridge's Moraine. Over the course of the last few years, I have found that when the weather gets warmer, I enjoy taking my . . .
Recently, I've been getting a few questions in regards to my workout routine. What do I do? How do I find the time while raising and building my family? How do I keep it fresh? Should I workout with a trainer? When it comes to fitness, I am not an expert. Far from it. But I'd like to share with you how I fit activity into my everyday life. What I Do After I had Ethan, I wasn't able to jump in to exercise right away. I started verrry slowly.

Warren Buffet, the world’s third richest man, has an aversion to buying Apple stock… because he just doesn’t get them.
“We held very few in the past and we’re likely to hold very few in the future,” said the billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. “[It is] very easy for me to come to a conclusion as to what it will look like economically in five or 10 years, and it’s not easy for me to come to a conclusion about Apple.”
My first instinct was to decry this Mumm-Ra of financial wizardry for opening his desiccated gum flap and, with a puff of dust and a voice the sound of an unoiled door hinge slowly creaking open, shouting “I’M OLD!” in this manner.
Then I thought about it, and I realized he was right. I mean, not economically — I have no idea what AAPL stock will look like in five or ten years, although I think he’s right as an investing chairman interested in the long-term to view electronics as a tumultuous market: ten years ago, for example, Microsoft and Dell seemed untoppleable, Apple seemed doomed and no one gave a damn about Google. Apple just isn’t as sure a thing as Coca-Cola over the long haul.
But Buffett’s right in another way, too. I have no idea what Apple will even look like as a company in 10 years, or even five. After all, five years ago, Apple was still primarily an MP3 player maker. Ten years ago, they were primarily a computer maker. Now, they’re primarily a mobile device maker. Twenty years from now, they could be selling us all brain implants for all I know. But unlike Buffett, I don’t fear that. It excites me. | <urn:uuid:bc32ffd9-3fd1-40e5-8246-b8a066967ae1> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.iphone-my.com/news/warren-buffett-says-he-just-doesnt-get-aapl | 2020-08-05T13:35:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735958.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805124104-20200805154104-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.969818 | 398 | [

I love helping small companies getting started, seeing them glow in the digital universe, finding their way to the customers. That is a great rewarding feeling. I get to learn so much about other businesses. Mmm…
Do you recognize the feeling?
One person that made a big impression on me is the artist Yvonne Jensen. She makes such nice paintings. Yvonne gets her inspiration from color and shapes rather than from specific motives. She is mainly working in pastel, acrylic and watercolor, but like experimenting with new techniques.
I got the opportunity to have a closer look at the artwork when I helped out with her website – www.yvonnejensen.com Have a look – Do you like what you see?
The photos of these two dogs were taken at different locations at different times and the owner wanted them put together in the same picture. Aren’t they sweet.

Transexuality, otherwise known as gender dysphoria, is not alone.
It turns out that there are lot of identity challenged people out there. Gender dysphoria is not even alone in having its very own political movement, agitating for “rights” for those who are afflicted with this mental illness.
Of course and always, the number one “right” that these groups agitate for is an end to regarding their affliction as an illness in need to concern, compassion and treatment. What they want — what they demand — is that all of society join with them in their problem and accept that (1) It’s normal to chop off our nose and replace it with something resembling that of a dog, it’s normal to chop off your genitals and replace them with something resembling those of the opposite sex, and, yes, it’s normal to chop off your legs/sever your spine/chop off a hand and spend your life in a wheelchair.
It’s also, these poor, sad people and their cruel, but politically correct, supporters insist, not medical malpractice for docs to do the chopping and rearranging of healthy people’s organs. It’s, get ready for this, “compassion” to subject these people to mutilation, massive doses of powerful hormones and “reassignment” to something that more closely resembles what their mental illness tells them they ought to be.
According to the Transgender Studies Quarterly of Duke University, transability “denotes the persistent desire to acquire a physical disability and/or to seek the actual elective transition of the body from abled to disabled.” The article goes on to say “The struggle for recognition of transabled politics rests its modern and liberal claims on the right for self-determination (Stryker and Sullivan 2009).”
So. We have the burgeoning movement in support of the surgical and hormonal mutilation of people who have gender dysphoria, otherwise known as “transgendered” people.
We have the rising movement of people who are afflicted with body integrity disorder, otherwise know as “transability” people. They want an end to people labelling their mental illness as mental illness and acceptance that this compulsion is, in fact, normal. They also want the “right” to have insurance and the government (of course) pay for the surgical destruction of their healthy bodies for the purpose of making them into life-long invalids who will, presumably, then live on disability the rest of their days.
We have academics writing about the already moderately well-known mental illness suffered by people who think they’re really of another species, otherwise known as species dysphoria, or, in trendy circles, transpecies people.
What’s not to like? Evidently, all anyone has to do to start a movement claiming their mental health problems are in fact healthy and normal and then getting others to pick up the tab is put trans in front of it and -ism at the end.
Think of the brave new world. I think that I may be suffering from transmillionaire-ism. All my life, I knew I was really a millionaire, born into the body of a mechanic’s daughter. You can fix me without mutilating surgery. Just give me the $$$$$ you would spend on a mutilating surgery, followed by life-long hormone abuse, and I’ll be cured.
I know I’m making light of this. I fully expect the holier-than-thou thought-and-speech-police to condemn me for my “insensitivity.” They might even write a blog post talking about how another “cruel Christian” attacks transgendered people.
In truth, I am not the least bit insensitive to the plight of broken people whose self-loathing drags them down into an illness this severe and damaging. I am not in any way making light of the sufferers of gender/species dysphoria or of those who suffer from other body identity disorders.
These are terrible illnesses. People who are afflicted with them deserve all our compassion and help.
What I am making light of is those very holier-than-thous and self-righteous blog pot writers who support the trendy and fallacious logic that cutting off someone’s genitals/nose/legs because they suffer from a mental illness is somehow “treating” them, that it is “compassionate,” and “caring.” It is nothing of the kind.
It is an obscene cruelty.
My colleague, Katrina Fernandez, wrote a post comparing the current frenzy of support for subjecting mentally ill people to these mutilating surgeries and hormone overdoses to a crowd of people yelling “jump” to a potential suicide standing on a ledge. I think that is an apt analogy.
Future generations will look back on this travesty and decry the callous ignorance of their forebears. They will regard people who support this surgical mutilation of the mentally ill in much the same way that we condemn the practice of prefrontal lobotomy, insulin shock therapy for alcoholics, bleeding people and boring holes in their skulls for headaches.
The difference, of course, is that the people who did these things actually thought that they were doing what was right. We are jumping on the mutilation of the mentally ill bandwagon because our politics and the zeitgeist demand it of us. We have abandoned what we very well know is the truth for a destructive fantasy so that we can avoid being labeled with whatever nasty name-calling adjective the trendies are using to label everyone who doesn’t go along with their groupthink du jour.
We are, as a society and as individuals, abandoning our reason in order to accept the unacceptable. We do this to avoid being slandered and slimed, called names and drug through the mud of public hazing for sticking with reality in the face of a mass cultural fantasy.
It is wrong; it is flat-out wrong, to support the surgical mutilation, dismemberment and disfigurement of healthy people for the purposes of pretending that this is a “treatment” for their illness. I can not and I will not support something so cruel and destructive to the person as this. Call me what you wish.
I do not in any way condemn, dislike or want to avoid people who suffer from these illnesses. I do not condemn, dislike or want to avoid those who have fallen into the trap of using surgery to treat what is in fact a psychological problem. It is not their fault. They are mentally ill, and I would guess that they were desperate.
I condemn the practice of encouraging what is in fact outrageous medical malpractice and the cultural mavens who are pushing it. | <urn:uuid:13d80215-b927-467b-bc4c-79ac994dadfa> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.patheos.com/blogs/publiccatholic/2015/06/trans-what-did-you-say-trendy-medical-malpractice-on-the-mentally-ill/ | 2020-08-05T13:42:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735958.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805124104-20200805154104-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.958798 | 1,423 | [

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Most of us are looking forward to the upcoming holiday season and thinking of good times ahead with parties, gift-giving, and time with loved ones. Something that’s also approaching… tax filing season.
While we should always be on top of our financial “health” throughout the year, there are some year-end financial strategies that may help relieve your tax burden when filing your taxes in the spring, and boost your nest egg in the coming year.
Today on 22News InFocus we talked about how financial markets impact your investments, financial strategies, and what should be on your year-end financial organizing checklist.

The Weinstein Co., which is always willing to opportunistically shift release plans, is taking Quentin Tarantino’s bloody western “The Hateful Eight” into wide stateside release a week earlier than previously scheduled. The digital multiplex opening is now moved up to New Year’s Day, in order to take advantage of lucrative holiday playing time. This means a jam-packed release corridor just got more crowded, although many theaters welcome fresh blood after the height of the Christmas rush. TWC wants to maximize the theatrical returns on the movie starring Tarantino veterans Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Bruce Dern, plus newcomers Jennifer Jason Leigh and Demián Bichir.
The multiplex digital version of the movie is slightly trimmed, without the opening overture and the 12-minute intermission, producer Stacey Sher told me, and it’s as “lovingly hand-crafted as the 70 mm roadshow. Removing the intermission required him to balance and reexamine the film; he loves both versions, which are in their optimal handcrafted form. He knows that the large majority will see the multiplex version.” That’s the version that will be sent as Academy screeners and released on DVD. The screeners were delayed because of the lengthy process of preparing the 70 mm prints for release, which cost the film exposure via the SAG Awards and Golden Globes.
Moving up the release date bears no relation to the film’s painstakingly supported 70 mm roadshow on 100 national screens—the widest such release in 20 years— that starts Christmas Day. That’s going forward as planned, despite unsettling glitches at some early LA screenings. TWC scoured the country for 70 mm projectors and spare parts to expand the number of theaters that could project the movie beyond existing venues like Sunset Boulevard’s Cinerama Dome and NY’s Village East. Hopefully there are enough veteran projectionists who remember how to thread a print and splice film. TWC is shipping heavy platters directly to theaters and is poised to offer trouble-shooting and support.
Whatever the risk, it’s worth seeing the film on the biggest possible screen in 70 mm; it’s stunning.
Meanwhile Michael Moore’s new documentary “Where To Invade Next,” which was set to open on December 23, has postponed its launch to President’s Weekend on February 12, during primary season. It’s hard to secure the best theaters during the intense holiday stretch when theaters are most in demand, even for canny distributors like ex-Radius chiefs Tom Quinn and Jason Janego and Alamo Drafthouse’s Tim League; “Where to Invade Next” is the first release for their still-untitled new company.
The Academy’s documentary branch already shortlisted the film ahead of one-week Oscar-qualifying runs in one Los Angeles and one New York theater. Moore, who likes nothing better than talking politics in front of a crowd with a microphone, having completed a whirlwind circuit of the fall film festivals, convinced his distributors to let him take the movie on a six-week campaign bus tour starting in January with a premiere in every state, he told Deadline. So they pushed back the release with a plan to broaden to several hundred theaters. They’ll take advantage of the time period ramping up to the New Hampshire primary. | <urn:uuid:5f279764-b14e-4600-aeb5-db92d5f46fbd> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.indiewire.com/2015/12/the-hateful-eight-where-to-invade-next-get-rejiggered-releases-video-175555/ | 2020-08-10T18:05:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737168.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810175614-20200810205614-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.942269 | 723 | [

Mayanthi Fernando works on Islam, secularism, and the politics of difference in the North Atlantic. Her current project tracks the secular genealogies of the recent posthumanist turn. Reading this scholarship alongside other traditions of nonhuman ontologies, including Islamic sciences of the unseen, she asks whether we might rethink “natureculture” as “supernatureculture.”
Mayanthi Fernando is an associate professor of Anthropology at UCSC, and the director of the Center For Emerging Worlds. Her current project attends to the nexus of sex and religion in the articulation of modern secularity, analyzing how the secular state’s project of regulating and transforming religious life is interwoven with its project of sexual normalization, i.e. the production of secular, sexually “normal” citizens. She is interested in how proper religion and proper sexuality are mutually constituted (often in opposition to each other) by secular rule.

The Australian one-day side are better equipped to handle spin in the forthcoming five-match series in India, captain Steve Smith has said.
Earlier this year, spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja shared 46 wickets between them to bowl India to a 2-1 series victory against Australia, who also tasted their maiden test defeat against a spin-heavy Bangladesh last month.
India have rested Ashwin and Jadeja for the first three ODIs and Smith believes the wickets in the shorter format will not be as helpful to the slower bowlers.
“I think the one-day group has played spin pretty well for a while. Obviously we are still learning in the test format,” Smith said after his arrival in Chennai, which will host the first ODI on Sunday.
“We have come from a challenging tour from Bangladesh. The guys are learning and trying to improve. So, hopefully they can continue to do so.
Sparks often fly whenever they clashed against India but the Australia skipper was confident the upcoming series will be played in ‘good spirit’.
“It’s always a hard-fought contest playing against India and we’re excited by the challenge of playing over here,” the 28-year-old said.
“Looking back to the last one-day tour of India, I wasn’t on it in 2013, but it was a big run-fest from memory with pretty flat wickets and big totals.
Smith was hopeful leg-spinner Adam Zampa will have a big impact on the series with his knowledge of the Indian conditions having played in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament.
“He has got a pretty good record over the last a year or two,” Smith said. “He has got some experience playing in these conditions in IPL. So, we know what to expect from Zampa.
Kohli’s men have been on a roll in tests and are just back after subjecting Sri Lanka to a tour whitewash by winning all nine matches there.
“It’ s always tough playing India in India. They are very good ODI side. Just seeing the side they have announced, it looks like a strong side. We are excited by the challenge of the series.” | <urn:uuid:1dfbbaa0-3fee-4d8a-823e-59d39a628bfe> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.edailysports.com/smith-sees-no-spin-threat-for-australia-in-india/ | 2020-08-08T21:19:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.974896 | 488 | [

Happiness is a tricky thing. Everyone wants to be happy, right? And we want the people we care about to be happy too. This is especially true when it comes to our children. Parents want happy children. But a child and an adult perceive and achieve happiness in very different ways. Or at least they should — don’t you think?
Take a moment and answer this question: What makes my child happy? Chances are high that a child is happiest when they are getting something. A toy? A new video game? A trip to Disney? Maybe it’s just a popsicle that makes your child happy. Perhaps your kid is happy when they get to stay up past their bedtime.
Kids like quickly served, fast-food happiness (many adults do too, but that’s another conversation). Nevertheless, today’s dynamic between parent and child, when it comes to happiness, might be setting an entire generation up for future happiness failure. Why is that, you ask? Easy, because in today’s households, many parents are trying to make their kids happy, and that’s the problem.
What an outrageous thing to say! Our job as parents is to raise happy kids. Well, yes, that would be nice. But is it your job to make your kid happy, or is it to teach them how to be happy? There’s a huge difference. It’s the latter, of course, for this simple reason:
If you are trying to make your child happy, rather than teaching them to be happy, then you are raising a child whose happiness depends on somebody else. Let that sink in. Your job as a parent is to raise a child who, as an adult, doesn’t need you anymore. If that’s the case, who is going to make your son or daughter happy when they are adults? When you’re not around anymore, or not around as much anyway, who will make your child happy? Will that job fall to their spouse someday? That’s a tough job to fill. And it’s setting them up for failure.
Imagine the strain on a relationship when someone expects their husband or wife to make them happy? On any given day, if a person is not happy, is that somebody else’s fault? It could be. But let’s set aside relationships that have serious flaws like abuse or neglect. Think about the relationships that are not fatally flawed by horrible circumstances like illness, death, or even the loss of a job. Think about the daily, ordinary search for a happy life. Your happiness is up to you.
You want happiness, real long-lasting, meaningful happiness? Go get it. Don’t rely on it being delivered to you by your spouse. You may be waiting a long time, and it probably won’t last anyway. Being happy is a mindful search. The journey is different for everyone and results vary.
Our kids don’t understand this, not yet anyway.
Finding the right person may help you find happiness. True love is a beautiful thing — and it is also a happy thing. Maybe it increases your happiness exponentially. But relationships fail, so then what? If you’re off to find someone else to make you happy, you are missing the point of happiness and also the point of a relationship. Are we doing this to our children? Are we modeling a way to be happy that can never stick when they become adults?
The best way to raise a happy kid is to be happy yourself. Model a type of meaningful happiness that isn’t dependent on a quick fix. A new car is transportation; it’s not long-lasting happiness. A trip to the family’s favorite restaurant is not happiness; it’s a meal that’s forgotten the next day.
Wherever your happiness journey takes you and your family, be mindful of how you teach your children about happiness. Your children are watching and learning all about happiness from you. | <urn:uuid:46c2a5a9-69c9-4dde-868f-d6c34215a6eb> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.scarymommy.com/teaching-children-about-happiness/ | 2020-08-08T20:57:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.963198 | 838 | [

Last week, we were very pleased to present our first Business Network event this year, which was held at the fantastic ScottishPower HQ in Glasgow.
Our keynote speaker was Robin Sieger (OA 1974), who is a motivational speaker and international bestselling author. Robin delivered his presentation “Success. Chance or Design?” talking his audience through lessons learned from a more unconventional approach to business and the pursuit of true success and purpose.
Robin’s humour and ability to connect emotionally with audiences has seen him become the first choice speaker at major conferences for some of the world’s most successful companies, including Microsoft, IBM, Coca Cola, Nokia, and HSBC.
What a thoroughly successful and enjoyable Business Network event. Sincere thanks to Robin Sieger, our Keynote Speaker, for his inspirational presentation, and to Charles Langan, our generous host.
Look out for details of our next Business Network event in November 2019. | <urn:uuid:03dd1988-dcd5-433e-9d42-d3e5b25f4215> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.staloysius.org/aloysian-life/news/robin-sieger-presents-first-business-network-event-of-2019-845 | 2020-08-08T20:14:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.960521 | 192 | [

Introduction - Students 2009/10
2.55 million students were studying for a qualification or for credit at 165 UK higher education institutions (HEIs) in 2009/10. Of these institutions, 164 were publicly-funded and one, The University of Buckingham, was privately funded.
A small proportion of these students (2.3%) were studying at further education (FE) level.1 Information about FE students studying in HEIs is included in Table A and in two of the main tables of this publication (Tables 1 and 2), but they are otherwise excluded from this publication. All percentages from this point onwards relate to students at HE level only.
Table A provides the numbers and proportions of HE students studying at each level with comparisons between full-time and part-time. Nearly two thirds (65.5%) of the 2,493,415 HE students were following a full-time or sandwich programme. Almost half of all students (48.5%) were following a full-time or sandwich first degree programme. It can be seen that a much higher proportion of full-time and sandwich students were studying for a first degree than of part-time students who were more likely to be studying for another type of undergraduate qualification.
Chart 1 below illustrates the breakdown of HE students by level and mode of study (sourced from Table A).
A higher proportion of female students (56.6%) than male students (43.4%) were studying in HE in the UK. This gender imbalance was more pronounced among students studying part-time of whom 61.3% were female. Amongst other undergraduate students, nearly two-thirds (64.7%) were female.
Although a large proportion of students studying in the United Kingdom were domiciled in the UK before they entered Higher Education (83.7%), a further 5.0% were from other countries within the European Union (EU) and 11.3% were from countries outside the EU.
Among undergraduate students from outside the UK, the highest proportions came from Asia (38.9%) and the EU (38.5%). The next highest proportions were from Africa (7.5%), the Middle East (5.2%) and North America (5.1%). Table 8 of this publication gives details of the countries with the highest numbers of students studying in the UK. Much lower proportions of non-UK students studied part-time than full-time, especially among non-EU students. Table B provides a summary of students by domicile and gender.
Chart 3 below shows the proportions of non-UK domiciled undergraduates by region of domicile (sourced from Table D).
Although females were in the majority within the whole student population, this was not the case across all geographic regions. For UK students, 58.4% were female, the second highest proportion after Other European Economic Area (59.8%) and closely followed by North America (58.1%). The lowest proportions of females were observed among students from Africa (39.6%) and the Middle East (31.2%).
Over half (55.9%) of all full-time postgraduate students were from outside the UK, with 44.4% of full-time postgraduates coming from outside the EU. Non-UK students were prominent on full-time research degree programmes (49.2%) and even more so on full-time taught higher degree programmes (68.0%).
A major component of ‘Other postgraduate’ numbers arose from Postgraduate Certificate in Education programmes, where females were predominant and the large majority of students were UK domiciled, and this has contributed to the high proportion (65.6%) of females among students on ‘Other postgraduate’ programmes.
The pattern at undergraduate level was very different from that for postgraduates. Only 10.5% of undergraduates were from outside the UK, comprising 4.0% from other EU countries and 6.5% from non-EU countries. Undergraduates account for over three quarters (76.8%) of the overall HE student population, however, this proportion varied by domicile. The UK had the largest proportion of undergraduate students at 82.1%, while 62.0% of students from other EU countries were undergraduates and less than half (44.1%) of students from non-EU countries were on undergraduate courses.
Of UK domiciled undergraduates, 58.4% were female. The figure for other Europe was 53.9%. North America had the highest proportion of undergraduates who were female at 62.3% and the Middle East had the lowest proportion at 26.9%.
Around three quarters (75.6%) of students on programmes below first degree level were studying on a part-time basis. Subject of study is an important factor in explaining the high proportion of females on programmes below first degree level, as illustrated in the following section.
Subject of study
Table E shows the percentages of students at different levels who were following programmes in each of 19 subject areas. A detailed explanation of the subject areas, and the way in which student numbers are apportioned between them, may be found in the definitions section of this publication.
There are two figures at the ‘Other undergraduate’ level that are worthy of comment, those for subjects allied to medicine and combined. The high proportion in subjects allied to medicine can be explained because a qualification below first degree level is the norm in many health-related professions, especially nursing which attracts a large number of female students. Many Open University students may not initially have to declare their award intention and are reported as studying for institutional credit in the combined subject area.
Table F shows that the proportion of part-time students varied greatly by subject area. At 95.0% almost all students in the combined subject area were part-time; again, this is attributable to the way Open University students are reported. The other area with a very high proportion of part-time students was education, at 60.6%.
Chart 5 below provides the numbers of HE students by subject area and level of study (sourced from Table E).
Similarly, the proportion of female students was heavily subject-dependent, with wide divergence from the overall figure of 56.6%. Subject areas with a high proportion of females included subjects allied to medicine (80.6%), veterinary science (76.6%), education (75.4%) and languages (67.1%). Subject areas with a low proportion of females included architecture, building & planning (31.0%), computer science (18.3%) and engineering & technology (16.3%).
Students from outside the UK were well represented in business & administrative studies, engineering & technology, computer science, law and mathematical sciences.
Age of students
Table G shows the proportion of first-year UK domiciled postgraduates in each age group.
Table H provides equivalent information for undergraduates. 21.4% of UK domiciled entrants on full-time first degree courses and 57.5% on full-time other undergraduate courses were aged 21 and over. 57.3% of part-time first degree entrants were aged 30 or over.
Chart 6 below illustrates the age distribution of first year UK domiciled first degree students (sourced from Table H).
Ethnicity is recorded using the categories available for the 2001 Census (details can be found in the Definitions section). These categories are then amalgamated following Office for National Statistics guidelines into the smaller number of categories shown in Chart 7 and in main tables. The scheme is designed to describe patterns of ethnicity within the UK domiciled population; information on ethnicity is required by HESA only for students of UK domicile.
Ethnicity is known for 96.0% of UK domiciled first-year undergraduates and 94.9% of UK domiciled first-year postgraduates. Taking first-year and continuing students together, it is known for 96.9% of undergraduates and 94.1% of postgraduates (from Table 13). Participation in HE by students from ethnic minorities continues to increase overall and accordingly the most up-to-date picture is obtained from consideration of the position for new entrants. 17.8% (17.6% in 2008/09) of all first-year students of known ethnicity are from ethnic minorities and for full-time first degree students the figure is 21.2% (21.3% in 2008/09).
Table I provides the percentage of first year UK domiciled ethnic minority students by mode and level of study.
In 2009/10 a total of 716,940 qualifications were awarded at HE level to students in publicly-funded HEIs (together with The University of Buckingham) or on indirectly funded HE programmes in Further Education Colleges (FECs). Of these, 31.5% were at postgraduate level, 48.9% were undergraduate first degree qualifications and 19.5% were other undergraduate qualifications. 24,865 foundation degrees were awarded, 3.5% of the total. Table K provides a more detailed breakdown.
Chart 8 below provides a breakdown of HE qualifications obtained by level of qualification (sourced from Table K).
22.3% of all HE qualifications were awarded to non-UK domiciled students. This figure rose to 57.5% of all taught higher degrees awarded.
Table L provides a breakdown of the class of award for first degree qualifications.
Of students who obtained a classified first degree, 14.4% were awarded first class honours and 62.7% were awarded either first or upper second class honours. Chart 9 below shows the female/male, full-time/part-time and UK/non-UK percentages (sourced from Table L). The proportion of first class honours did not depend heavily on any of these factors, but the proportion of upper second class honours was substantially greater for female students than for male students, and similarly for UK students compared to non-UK students and for full-time students compared to part-time students.
Table M shows that there was considerable variation by subject area in the proportions of different classes of degrees that were awarded. This table excludes the clinical subject areas medicine & dentistry and veterinary science, in which the majority of degrees awarded are not subject to classification.
The gender, mode and domicile proportions vary greatly across subject areas (see Table F), and therefore it is not meaningful to analyse class of degree without adjusting for subject choice.
Flows between administrations
The main tables provide figures showing student mobility within the UK for all UK domiciled students. However, the figures for postgraduate students should be interpreted with caution because the domicile will often reflect the location of undergraduate study rather than the original ‘domestic’ domicile. Part-time students display little mobility and thus Table N focuses on full-time undergraduates.
Chart 10 below provides the percentage of full-time UK domiciled first degree students studying in each region by domicile (sourced from Table N).
95.3% of full-time first degree students domiciled in England studied in their country of domicile; the corresponding figures for the other UK home nations were 69.1% for Wales, 94.8% for Scotland and 69.6% for Northern Ireland.
English and Scottish students displayed little mobility in proportionate terms. However, in absolute terms England contributed almost half of the students studying in Wales and more than one-eighth of those in Scotland. Outwards mobility from Wales and Scotland was almost entirely to England and two-thirds of outwards mobility from Northern Ireland was to England, with almost all the balance to Scotland.
Within England, again for full-time first degree students, the flow into London was 54,290 and the flow out of London was 71,770, not greatly different in absolute terms, which means that there was proportionately much more mobility out of London to other regions of England (42.8% of the London total) than in the reverse direction (7.9% of the total for other regions of England). The table in the main body of the publication provides a full breakdown of mobility between English regions.
There was less mobility between all but one of the administrations at the level of full-time ‘Other undergraduate’ programmes than at the first degree level: the corresponding percentages for study in the country of domicile were 99.2% for England, 78.8% for Wales and 92.7% for Scotland. The equivalent figure of 39.9% for Northern Ireland at first appears anomalous when compared to the other administrations. This is due to a much smaller level of full-time other undergraduate provision at Northern Ireland institutions.
‘Offshore provision’ is the term used to describe study taking place entirely outside the UK. However, where the students either are registered at a UK HEI, or are registered with a partner organisation in the country of study but are working towards a qualification awarded by a UK HEI,2 such students are termed ‘offshore students’. It is thought that the publication of offshore provision has substantially increased in recent years but quantitative evidence has not been available. Up to and including 2006/07, data on offshore students was collected at the individual level through the HESA student data collection using a simplified record structure (a ‘reduced record’), but submission of this part of the collection was optional for institutions and it was known from other evidence that the reported total of just under 80,000 offshore students greatly underestimated the total level of activity. Because of this, HESA did not include material on offshore provision in the student publication prior to 2007/08.
One outcome of the review of the student record for 2007/08 onwards was the discontinuation of the use of a reduced record for offshore students, since that level of detail was not required. A separate aggregate collection was designed to obtain the required data. Government departments in the four administrations then decided that the financial and reputational significance of offshore provision to UK HEIs individually, and to the UK HE system as a whole, meant that for policy purposes it was necessary to have full coverage; to achieve this they decided to use their powers under legislation to make that aggregate collection mandatory. In consequence, from 2007/08 it was possible to publish information on offshore provision.
Table O provides a breakdown by level of study and by the nature of the relationship with the student, and is disaggregated between EU and non-EU provision.
Chart 11 below illustrates the proportions of students studying wholly overseas by type of provision (sourced from Table O).
In 2009/10 there were no FE-level offshore students studying within the EU and only 225 outside it. All subsequent analysis relates to HE-level offshore students only, of which 16.8% (68,450) were studying within the EU and 83.2% (340,010) outside it, amounting to a total of 408,460 students.
Within the EU, the largest numbers of students were registered with a UK HEI (58.4%). Distance learning appeared to be the most common form of relationship for these students, accounting for over two-thirds (67.6%) of the group. The number of students at overseas campuses within the EU was relatively small at only 420 students. Overseas partnership arrangements, in which students are not registered at, but are studying for awards of, a UK HEI accounted for 41.6% of EU offshore students. With regard to level of study, the majority of EU offshore students were studying at first degree level (61.9%), mainly through distance learning and partnership arrangements, particularly those where the students are not registered at the UK HEI. There were also sizeable numbers studying on taught postgraduate courses (31.7%).
Outside the EU the pattern was slightly different, with the majority of students studying for an award of, but not registered with, a UK HEI (52.7% of non-EU offshore students), most of these at overseas partner organisations. Of those students who were registered with a UK HEI 54.8% were studying by distance learning. Overseas campus arrangements were more common for non-EU than EU offshore students, with 3.2% of non-EU students falling into this category. Referring to level of study, the vast majority of non-EU offshore students were studying first degrees (78.8%), with by far the largest concentration in overseas partner organisations (62.7% of all non-EU first degree offshore students).
Table P shows the breakdown by level of study for the 20 countries with the greatest level of offshore provision. Almost three-quarters (72.3%) of all offshore provision was concentrated within these countries. The largest numbers of students were observed within Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region of China) and Pakistan, which between them accounted for one-third (34.0%) of all HE offshore students. Only three EU countries appeared within the top 20: Ireland, Greece and Germany.
1 This number is lower than in preceding years because some of the most heavily ‘mixed-economy’ HEIs in England no longer report their FE student numbers through HESA.
2 The University of Wales (central functions) has no students within the UK and so does not appear in this publication except in respect of its offshore students. | <urn:uuid:d122ca96-e7fc-4451-8e7f-efc8f8541453> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/publications/students-2009-10/introduction | 2020-08-10T11:28:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738674.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810102345-20200810132345-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.969729 | 3,574 | [

The Jade Garden
The Jade Garden is an authoritative guide to 130 of the most fascinating yet little-known ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials from "the green mantle" of Asia. Based on detailed research and observation at one of the largest and oldest collections of Asian plants in North America, the subjects of this book were chosen for their superior garden qualities, their rarity in everyday horticulture, and their commercial availability. From an extraordinary, nearly black geranium with reflexed petals, to a ground-creeping honeysuckle with bicolored flowers and blue berries, gardeners are sure to find something new and exciting in these pages. Although plants included are from the "cutting edge" of plant exploration and discovery, the authors have included only those selections that have undergone thorough evaluation at the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden for hardiness and garden appeal. In addition, the authors have taken special care to exclude potentially invasive plants, allowing readers to be confident that any selection from the book will be an environmentally responsible one. With many of its plants appearing in a garden book for the first time, The Jade Garden is certain to be a groundbreaking horticultural event. | <urn:uuid:3d25b053-e7f0-428e-bf1d-d44c2a4c7951> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://cart.workman.com/products/the-jade-garden | 2020-08-14T02:56:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739134.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814011517-20200814041517-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.947782 | 239 | [

With Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts CI Games have taken a leaf out of Hitman’s playbook abandoning the open-world of the last game in favour of a series of well-realised environments.
As fun as past Sniper: Ghost Warrior games are, finely polished works, they are not. Fortunately, CI have pulled out the stops with Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts to give us a game that can stand head-and-shoulders with similar contemporary first-person-shooters.
The visuals are a huge improvement from previous games the maps, models and lighting all look great. The environments look very realistic with tall grass and foliage not only looking great, as it sways in the wind, but also providing some great cover.
Whilst the plot, explained via jump-cut visuals narrated by your very English accented handler, makes little sense, it does point you in the right direction for lots of long-distance shooting. It’s all, apparently, going down in Siberia with dodgy deals, genetic manipulation and a prime minister about to fire missiles at China. Each and every one of the bad guys responsible, of course, deserving a bullet to the cranium.
The game, like the others in the series, uses Crytek’s CryEngine. But with your sniper, now equipped with a high-tech mask and a special, impact-absorbent suit, the series seems to have taken a sci-fi turn, not unlike Crytek’s own Crysis games. As useful as mask mode sensor-vision and being able to drop down from heights is, I’d soon the game kept to being a bit more grounded.
The sniper, called Seeker by his handler, is equipped with a sniper rifle, assault rifle and a handgun. The handgun is very useful when there’s a risk of getting up-close and personal for some close quarters combat. The use of the assault rifle usually means that things have gone south and likely to get a lot worse.
Your choice of weapon very much influences your game. High powered rifles will, generally, take down an enemy with one shot to the head or chest, but are loud and will alert the enemy to your location. This means that you need to identify all your targets and fire in quick succession before relocating. Stick around once discovered and you’ll end up in a rain of mortar fire. A well-suppressed, low powered rifle will need headshots for a one-shot kill, but with careful shooting, you can clear the field without alerting anyone.
Weapons are customisable in a similar way as in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint’s Gunsmith. Players can upgrade them with better sights and optics, extended magazines, suppressors and even a camouflage paintjob.
Each contract has a number of main objectives, required to complete the assignment. After each objective is complete, players get the opportunity to head to an exfiltration point to upload the details, effectively saving the game. There are also challenges and collectables that earn extra cash and special challenge tokens.
The game maps are wonderfully detailed, packed full of places to explore and high points from which to take out enemies. The game gives player plenty of options and ways to take out targets. No two playthroughs are going to be the same.
The environments range from snowy tundra to lush woodland. There are five contract maps in total, plus a training area. The maps are quite big and but some do have fast travel points to minimise back tracking.
Dotted around the maps are ammo caches to replenish supplies and swap out weapons. Looting corpses can also yield ammo and cash. A sniper with no bullets in not a lot of good.
As a sniper, you really need to find a spot high and a good distance from your targets. Using binoculars, targets can be highlighted and their distance determined. From the sniper scope, the crosshairs can be adjusted to take into consideration bullet-drop. There’s a visual cue to show the horizontal offset required for wind adjustments as well.
Some areas have jammers that stop the Seeker from targeting enemies. Shooting a panel on the base of the rotating jammer will put it out of action.
Be careful to avoid mines in the minefields. Using the Seeker’s mask mode, you can spot mines to avoid them, or shoot them to set off, for a less stealthy approach. You can also examine footprints and follow them through the mines.
Whilst most targets are just common grunts, there are heavies to contend with and crafty fellow snipers. CCTV camera can also alert guard of your position as will getting caught in a searchlight. Remote sentry guns are also in play to be avoided or destroyed.
If the enemy does discover you; they will start to flank you. Snipers are deadly if they have line-of-sight, as are sentry guns. It’s best to keep moving and wait until things have calmed down rather than double-down, going in like Rambo.
Certain areas trigger optional bounty targets that can also be dispatched. It’s not just a case of popping open a head for long distance, proof of the kill needs to then be obtained from the corpse. This then turns the tables making the player the hunted party until they get clear of the bounty area. There are extra points to be had if you manage to take out the rival sniper before they get you.
Successful hits and optional challenges award money and challenge tokens that can be traded for upgraded weapons and equipment. Cashing in challenge tokens, players can purchase very special kit like drones.
There are a few autosave areas around the map, but they are few and far between. You have to be careful, if you’ve not found one else you end up right back where you started.
The game has three difficulty settings. The lowest setting is ridiculously easy with the middle setting offering a moderate challenge and the highest difficulty being pretty hard.
Whilst not as gruesome as Sniper Elite’s X-ray bullet cam, Contracts’ slow-motion headshot cam comes a good second showing heads bursting like melons and brain-chunks going everywhere. It’s not pretty. Once the shock value has worn off, you’ll probably find yourselves switching down the frequency of these gory slo-mo shots in order to get on with proceedings.
The game does a good job of introducing the mechanics to players, but as I progressed there were a few times when I had no idea where I was supposed to be going. I’m not sure if it was a glitch, but there were no indications on the map either. It was only when, by chance, I passed a trigger point that my handler gave me some guidance.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts may not be everybody’s cup of tea. The large map and crafty enemies require a strategic approach- running and gunning will not do. Players with the patience to wait for opportunities to take out targets from a safe distance and enjoy stealth gameplay mechanics will have a lot of fun. With plenty of challenges and optional activities the game has loads of replay value. | <urn:uuid:781bd686-2236-47f3-a28e-65228d385d7e> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://vicbstard.com/sniper-ghost-warrior-contracts-pc-review/ | 2020-08-15T16:20:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740929.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815154632-20200815184632-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.953489 | 1,486 | [

The Latest: Lawyers question police tactics in woman’s death
ELGIN, Ill. (AP) — The Latest on the fatal shooting of a knife-wielding woman by police in Illinois (all times local):
Lawyers for the family of a knife-wielding woman fatally shot by a police officer along a Chicago-area interstate say her death raises questions about tactics used by the Elgin Police Department.
The attorneys issued a statement in response body-camera and dashcam video that showed events leading up to the shooting. Police released the video publicly on Thursday.
Attorney Andrew Stroth said that officers need more training on how to de-escalate situations to avoid using deadly force.
Stroth and Antonio Romanucci say in the release that they also are moving ahead with a lawsuit following the March 12 death of 34-year-old Decynthia S. Clements of Elgin.
Police say Clements’ death on Interstate 90 followed an hourlong standoff with officers. An Elgin officer shot her after she got out of her vehicle while holding the knife.
Illinois State Police are investigating.
Authorities have released video showing the fatal shooting of a knife-wielding woman by a police officer along a Chicago-area interstate.
The footage released Thursday includes police body-camera and dashcam video. Elgin Police Chief Jeff Swoboda also released a summary video detailing events leading up the shooting along Interstate 90, including smoke and fire pouring from the interior of the woman’s SUV.
An officer also can be heard saying, “she’s got the knife to her neck. She’s got the knife to her neck.”
Police have said an officer fired at 34-year-old Decynthia S. Clements after an hourlong standoff along the interstate on March 12.
Swoboda released a statement Thursday warning that the video footage could be “very troubling to view.” But he says releasing the videos “is one step we can take toward transparency and accountability.”
Illinois State Police are investigating the shooting. There have been calls for an outside group to investigate from activists, residents and a city council member.
Police say they will release video showing the officer-involved fatal shooting of a woman armed with a knife along an interstate outside Chicago.
Elgin Police Chief Jeff Swoboda said Wednesday evening that more than 30 hours of video from police body cameras would be released Thursday along with an 18-minute summary video. The video is to show the shooting and events leading to it and include footage from various police camera angles.
Police have said the officer fired at 34-year-old Decynthia S. Clements of Elgin after an hourlong standoff on March 12. Swoboda says her family and community leaders will have a chance to view the video before it is released publicly.

Sometimes a thing is so funny to me that once it starts being funny it doesn’t stop being funny. For life.
Like when Robby described his AA meetings as “a bunch of people sitting around smoking like animals.”
Or that New Year’s in Spain where I took a hanger out of the hall closet and hung my coat up in the bathroom.
Or there was this one time, with a bowl of cereal…actually I have never successfully told the cereal story without laughing myself to tears. It is just that funny to me, and usually not at all funny to anyone else.
Sundays I’ve been going to a place called Wasalaza. It’s a warehouse, in sugarhood, by the tracks. Violin makers live there, and I go there of a Sundee to relax and be silly. Usually drinking. Usually smoking.
And once I was so faded I drank a glass of hot tap water. I wanted a glass of water, and when it poured hot from the tap I just, you know, accepted that.
Then I talked and giggled with Espy and Sperry about things so lewd they made the boys blush.
Funny for life. Happy Sunday. | <urn:uuid:3baa754f-3517-452b-99e2-bcd973f8c7fb> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://littlesarahbigworld.com/2012/09/16/wasalaza/ | 2020-08-07T09:38:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737172.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807083754-20200807113754-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.973773 | 258 | [

IAPP members can click here to access the full survey.
Salaries are holding strong for privacy professionals in this tenth IAPP salary survey. With Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) looming and an increasing global appreciation for information privacy risks, new opportunities abound for privacy veterans and rookies alike. This report reveals wide variance in salaries, raises and bonuses among geographies, industries, and job titles, as well as among those with and without professional certifications. Who gets the top pay? A privacy pro working in the United States, for a large firm in tech or banking, with the title of chief privacy officer or above, coming from a legal background, and holding a CIPP credential. Those outside the U.S., working for small firms or in health care or government, and coming from a compliance background certainly are at a salary disadvantage. For the first time, this survey presents salary and education data for privacy’s most hotly debated new role: the Data Protection Officer (DPO), revealing that most professionals who currently enjoy this responsibility are not lawyers and earn higher wages than most of their peers.
The IAPP fielded its periodic salary survey in early 2017, working with third-party research firm Fondulas Strategic Research to document compensation for the world’s privacy professionals.
The survey was sent to privacy professionals by email and via a link in the Daily Dashboard to its more than 30,000 subscribers. We focused specifically, as we have going back to 2003, on salaries, bonuses, and raises, and this year paid particular attention to pathways into the profession. Nearly 900 respondents from around the globe provided detailed information about pay in their own currency, which we converted to U.S. dollars for ease of comparison in this report. All responses were anonymous and only analyzed in the aggregate. The survey did not consider differences in the components of total renumeration packages that might include health care, pension benefits, vacation, or family leave allowances.
In 2017, the median salary for privacy professionals globally is $115,000, an increase of more than $4,000 from 2015. The mean salary is higher, $123,000, reflecting an overall trend of increasing pay over the last decade, notwithstanding the profession’s expansion beyond senior leadership ranks into a wide variety of positions and departments within the enterprise.
Privacy professionals have the same likelihood of receiving a raise as in years past, but that raise is directionally higher on average. We also see a greater likelihood of receiving a year-end bonus, although the bonus amounts are slightly lower than in 2015.
As in prior years, salaries are highest in the United States, where the median salary is $130,000, up from $126,992 in 2015. This compares to a median salary of $95,800 in the European Union, a healthy climb from the median salary of $89,739 in 2015.
U.S. privacy pros also enjoy higher raises and bonuses, both in percentages and in absolute amounts, than their peers elsewhere around the world. Predictably, professionals working in the largest firms, and in the software and banking industries, earn the highest salaries, bonuses, and raises. Salaries vary greatly by position. Those holding the “Chief Privacy Officer” (CPO) title command considerably higher salaries and bonuses than other professionals, reporting a median salary of $170,000 globally and $191,000 in the U.S. However, not many respondents hold that title – only around seven percent are CPOs.
In the run-up to implementation of the GDPR, the most hotly debated job title in the industry is “Data Protection Officer” (DPO), the role mandated under Article 30 of the new European law. Interestingly, this title is already held by 18 percent of survey respondents. This is the first year our survey asks respondents about DPOs, discovering that professionals who hold this title report slightly lower salaries ($106,500 median) than the overall median ($115,000). Looking at regional breakouts, however, we see that those serving the DPO role in the U.S. are particularly well compensated, at $148,000 median, versus $130,000 for those who do not have DPO responsibilities. This high figure is weighed down by those working as 8. Historical Salary Trends DPOs in Europe, Canada, and around the globe, where there is little difference between the salaries of DPOs and non-DPOs.
This year’s survey confirms that there is robust demand for privacy pros. Nearly nine of 10 privacy professionals came to privacy from another job – more often from the legal field than any other. And those who held legal positions previously report a much higher median salary in privacy than those coming from other fields, although those from an information security/IT background also earn above-median salaries.
Another consistent trend is that privacy professionals holding at least one IAPP certification earn markedly higher salaries than those without one, as certifications are more commonly held by those in corporate leadership positions. In the U.S., for example, those with at least one IAPP certification earn on average an additional $25,000 in annual salary ($135,000 vs. $109,400), and those with multiple certifications average more than $35,000 per year over the salary of their non-certified peers ($145,100 vs. $109,400). The percentage of respondents with at least one IAPP certification has grown since 2015 – up to 64 percent from 55 percent.
Professional Pathways, Privacy Experience, and Education
Title and role
More than a decade into the IAPP’s tracking of privacy professional compensation, our population of respondents has stabilized, with 2017 results drawing a nearly identical distribution of privacy professionals across industries and job titles as the last survey in 2015. As in the past, representation is highest from the software and services sector, followed by government. Respondents were most likely to be managers, followed closely by director-level positions. This year, in response to member feedback, we added a new job title category, “associate lead counsel,” which represented 12 percent of respondents.
One-third of respondents serve as their organization’s privacy lead. A small but well compensated proportion (7 percent) hold the title “Chief Privacy Officer” (CPO). At $170,300 per year, CPOs earn the highest median salaries of all privacy titles.
The DPO designation, a title introduced by European privacy law, has grown in importance in the profession’s landscape, not only in Europe but also in the U.S. and rest of the world, due to the GDPR’s mandate. As a GDPR-compliance function, the DPO role is new to many companies and it remains unclear how it will interact with the CPO in privacy leadership, job responsibilities, and salary in the coming years. This year – the first year our survey has inquired about DPOs – 18 percent of respondents identify as having the DPO responsibilities, even if it is not their sole title.
The DPO is directionally more likely to be someone from IS/IT (25 percent) or compliance (26 percent) than someone from a legal background (16 percent), suggesting that professionals have so far not been required to have a law degree to serve as DPOs. This may explain why median salaries for DPOs ($106,500) are slightly lower than the overall median ($115,000), which factors in the higher salaries of privacy pros with a legal background. The median salary of DPOs is also weighed down by the role’s prevalence among EU and Canadian respondents, who on average earn lower salaries than their U.S. counterparts.
As the number of DPOs rapidly expands with the coming into force of the GDPR, we will follow how organizations around the world staff the position. Will the DPO track present itself as a new professional pathway for lawyers looking for ways to expand their job opportunities, or will it lend itself to management and IT privacy professionals without a law degree?
Pathway to the profession
Privacy is still a relatively new profession. Only 11 percent of respondents present privacy as their first professional job. For the nearly nine in 10 who came to privacy from another field, the most common background by far is law (35 percent). The next most common is information security (12 percent), followed closely by information technology (11 percent) and compliance at 8 percent (24 percent specified “other” background). Rank and tenure offer privileges, of course. Survey respondents have spent, on average, eight years in privacy; the median salary for those with between five and nine years of privacy experience is $115,000, with the next salary band – for those with 10-19 years of experience – yielding a median annual pay of $128,000.
Lawyers in privacy
Those coming to privacy from the legal field tend to make the highest salaries – a median of $141,600, compared to the $120,000 median salary for those who were in information security or IT. Each of these professional backgrounds, however, far outpaces the $99,600 median salary of privacy professionals with a background in compliance.
Lawyers also tend to hold “counsel” positions, with 24 percent at the “assistant counsel” or “associate counsel” level and 11 percent as “lead counsel,” while 11 percent serve in a vice president role and 16 percent are managers or other supervisors. Around one in four lawyers – roughly the same proportion as for those coming from other fields – serves as the privacy lead, and lawyers are slightly more likely than others to serve as CPO.
Our survey this year also asked respondents about their educational achievements. Consistent with their six-figure median salaries, 93 percent of respondents around the globe have at least a college degree or its equivalent, and nearly seven out of 10 have a post-graduate degree. Among respondents, nearly 40 percent hold an advanced professional degree such as a JD or an MBA.
Many privacy professionals do not stop with the degree, however, but continue to pursue privacy-specific credentials, typically in the form of an IAPP certification. The most popular certification is the CIPP/US, held by 42 percent of respondents globally, followed by the CIPP/E, earned by 21 percent. The number of respondents around the world with at least one CIPP certification jumped from 55 percent in 2015 to 64 percent in 2017.
Among professional certifications, the biggest growth is by the CIPP/E credential, which is held by 21 percent of survey respondents in 2017 compared to just 11 percent in 2015. This is, no doubt, due to the increased global attention to European data protection regulation as well as the IAPP’s general fast growth in the EU.
Which positions tend to have the most certifications? Those in the C-Suite lead the pack at 86 percent, with director roles, at 77 percent, the next most likely to have an IAPP certification. Six out of 10 who fill manager or lower roles also pursue privacy credentials. Among attorneys who answered the survey, slightly more than half hold a CIPx credential; 42 percent hold none.
There is a strong correlation between holding at least one IAPP credential and a higher median salary. Those with CIPT have the highest median salaries at $130,000. CIPM credential holders come next at $129,000 median, followed closely by CIPPs at a median salary of $125,000. This compares favorably with those with no IAPP certification, who have a median annual salary of $95,800.
Holding more than one IAPP certification, moreover, correlates with a significantly higher median salary: $137,200. Multiple credentials also correlate with a significantly higher likelihood of receiving a bonus; 73 percent of those with more than one IAPP certification earn an annual bonus, compared to only 49 percent among those with no IAPP credential.
Of course correlation is not necessarily causation, and the higher salaries could be attributed, for example, to the higher proportion of CIPs in more senior executive ranks. But clearly, the data show that privacy pros in large companies or software and hardware companies, as well as those holding privacy leadership positions, tend to earn higher salaries, and also tend to invest in obtaining IAPP credentials.
Median Salary Data by Region, Industry, Location and Title
Looking for the highest median salaries? They can be found in:
- The United States, where the median salary is $130,000 and the mean is $138,000.
- Firms with between 25,000 and 75,000 employees, where the median salary is $127,200 and the mean is $138,300.
- Large urban areas, where the median salary is $117,100, or suburban locations where the median salary is $115,000.
- The technology hardware industry, where the median salary is $146,000, compared to the next highest industry – software – where the average pay is $130,000.
- The C-Suite and vice president roles, where the median salary is $170,000, compared to lead counsel, which is next highest at $159,700 median annual pay.
On the other hand, the lowest median salaries can be found in:
- Government positions, where the median salary is $80,500, below the education sector at $86,600, and health care and non-profit privacy sectors, averaging salaries in the low $90,000s.
- Firms employing fewer than 100 people, where salaries sit just under six-figures at $95,000 per year.
- Small urban locations, where the median salary is $100,000 and the mean is $110,000.
- Below-manager positions, where salaries average $80,000 per year.
Many companies hedge against financial risk by offering employees lower base salaries and providing them with bonuses if all goes well. A significant majority of firms in our survey offer bonuses based either on company performance or a combination of company and individual performance.
Overall, a larger percentage of respondents reported receiving a bonus in this year’s survey compared to 2015, although the median bonus amount dipped from $15,000 to $13,500.
Companies located in the U.S. and in large urban centers are the most likely to offer bonuses at year’s end. Employer size also factors heavily in bonus awards. Among respondents working 2015 2017 for an employer with more than 25,000 employees, more than 70 percent received a bonus, while only 39 percent of those working at the smallest firms received one.
As with the likelihood and size of a raise, discussed below, the banking, telecom, and insurance industries are the most generous in offering bonuses – rewarding more than 75 percent of their privacy staff with bonuses – and are most likely to base bonuses on company performance rather than individual performance alone. Bonuses are rare among those in government (20 percent) or education (14 percent).
Likelihood of receiving a raise
Privacy professionals by and large enjoy annual raises, as confirmed by this year’s salary survey and consistent with statistics from 2015. Among respondents living in the U.S., 76 percent report receiving a raise, while 65 percent of European respondents enjoyed an annual pay increase.
In companies with fewer than 100 employees, however, only 45 percent of privacy professionals received a raise. Crossing the 100-employee threshold makes a big difference: 67 percent of privacy pros at companies with 100-999 employees enjoy a raise, and 78 percent of those at companies with 1000-4999 employees saw salaries increase this year.
Although salaries in the health care industry are not competing for top billing, raises are common with 82 percent of health care industry respondents reporting a raise. Next highest is the banking industry at 80 percent.
Beyond geographic location, company size, and industry, factors such as title, education, years in privacy, and IAPP certification do not seem to heavily influence the likelihood of a raise. The one exception is the CPO, 81 percent of whom report raises. This compares quite favorably to the average privacy lead (69 percent), DPO (73 percent), or non-DPO (70 percent), although by and large the likelihood of receiving a raise among all those groups is quite solid.
It’s good to receive a raise, of course, but here size does matter. So we asked respondents to estimate the percentage of the raise they received and looked for trends or distinctions by geography, industry, and title.
Consistent with the likelihood of a raise, the amounts of raises are higher in the U.S. (on average 4.6 percent), and in companies based in large urban areas (4.5 percent). Privacy pros working at firms with less than 100 employees see the smallest raises (3.3 percent) while those at firms with between 100-999 employees enjoy the largest pay increase at 5.2 percent.
Looking at industries, it pays to work in insurance or retail, where privacy employees earn raises of 5.7 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively. Those in the banking industry see the next highest bump at 4.8 percent. Once again, education and government employees report the lowest raise amounts at just over two percent.
What position gets the biggest raise? Once again, the CPO. Among respondents with that title, the average reported raise is 6.1 percent. Those who carry the DPO title, meanwhile, earn a 4.9 percent raise, which is higher than every other position besides the C-Suite and vice president titles.
The data therefore confirms that firms willing to give privacy leaders an “officer” title, CPO or DPO, are also willing to reward them financially for taking on the responsibility.
Even as the privacy profession grows beyond the executive suite, median salaries remain strong on a global average. There is considerable variance of pay among privacy professionals in different regions of the world, across industries, professional backgrounds, job titles, and credentials. In preparation for the GDPR, the new “officer” role of the DPO is coming on strong, drawing $106,500 as a global median salary, and nearly $150,000 in the U.S. alone. Professional certification continues to pay o , with CIPs commanding a sizeable premium over their peers in salary, likelihood of a raise, and bonus amount.
As the profession continues to grow and diversify, it would not be unexpected for the overall median and mean salaries to decline over time. There quite simply was no such thing as an “entry level” privacy professional in the past; we will most certainly see them in the future. Each year, more and more privacy professionals begin their careers in privacy, rather than come from an adjacent profession. It will be exciting to see how their careers develop, and how compensation means and medians fluctuate over time.

Heading away for this long weekend? Please make sure you don't leave any rubbish behind when you visit our great parks and forests.
We all need to do our bit when it comes to looking after the environment. Removing the rubbish we generate whilst enjoying the outdoors will ensure the area is left clean and tidy of the enjoyment of others.
Make camping easy with these handy tips.
Replace glass stubby's with aluminium cans that are easily crushed and stored to carry out.
Use re-usable plates and cutlery instead of plastic or paper.
Take a roll of plastic garbage bags with you to place your rubbish in. These are also handy for dirty recovery gear etc.
Don't put glass or cans etc in your campfire as they do not burn.
And finally make sure you have fun but extinguish your campfire with water before leaving your campsite. | <urn:uuid:81539643-3946-480a-8bdf-62b2eb030743> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.4wdvictoria.org.au/index.php/436-take-out-what-you-take-in | 2020-08-09T03:26:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738380.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809013812-20200809043812-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.936902 | 180 | [

Cann Group starts importing as it continues to wait for Australian regulators
Health & Biotech
Link copied to
Pot stock Cann Group (ASX:CAN) has “moved into the commercialisation phase” — but it’s with imported products, as it continues to wait for approval for its own products from Australian regulators.
Shares in Cann Group closed at $1.01 yesterday, sitting just above two-year lows, despite an announcement it signed a national distribution agreement with healthcare supplier Symbion to launch a range of imported medicinal cannabis products.
The products, to be imported from Canada from Cann’s partner Aurora Cannabis, will be sold by Symbion to its network of more than 4,000 retail pharmacies and 1,300 hospitals across Australia, and will be able to be supplied to patients who qualify under the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s Special Access Scheme.
It is a similar deal to the one MGC Pharma (ASX:MXC) has in place, through which it has provided medicinal cannabis products for more than 1,000 prescriptions across Australia and the UK.
Cann’s CEO Peter Crock told Stockhead the deal was an important step, though his company continued to be frustrated by the wait for approval from the Office of Drug Control.
“While we are waiting for that approval we have taken the opportunity with our Canadian partner to get imported medicinal cannabis products to patients,” he said.
He added that despite an increase in ASX-listed medicinal cannabis companies providing products through the TGA’s SAS, patient access to the drug had not accelerated.
“It isn’t any easier yet, getting our Australian products available is where we expect to see it become easier.” | <urn:uuid:468bd911-48c3-4179-ba72-968e8bc7db4d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://stockhead.com.au/health/cann-group-starts-importing-as-it-continues-to-wait-for-australian-regulators/ | 2020-08-11T01:41:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738723.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810235513-20200811025513-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.951596 | 363 | [

Lending Club has announced a partnership with the US Women’s Chamber of Commerce (USWCC).
The aim to help female business owners access affordable credit. At www.WomensBusinessLoans.org female business owners can apply online in minutes, instantly review offers for loans through Lending Club, and receive funding within a few days.
"Partnering with the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce allows us to provide a better solution to women business owners seeking affordable credit who are not being offered a quick and convenient solution from traditional lenders today. We're excited to expand our offerings and be a driving force in supporting the women-owned small business economy."
Women-owned businesses face many challenges when trying to gain access to capital, and this partnership aims to address this problem. According to the USWCC, in 2013 women owned nearly 30% of all US firms and yet accounted for only 13% of the dollars loaned with backing from the Small Business Administration.
Margot Dorfman, the organization's CEO, said:
"The U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce is excited to step into the small business lending arena to help break the log jam of failed opportunity. Too many women-owned firms have failed to realize their full potential due to lending models that simply don't work well for small business owners. We are thrilled to partner with Lending Club to provide women with better access to capital."
A company that is also working to help women entrepreneurs is Ventureneer. It recently launched an equity crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to educate female business owners about the opportunity that equity crowdfunding holds. The campaign aims to raise about $7,500 with additional funding provided by Dell and Ellenoff Grossman & Schole, a leading law firm specializing in alternative financing.
Geri Stengel, President and Founder of Ventureneer, explained:
“The vast majority of angels -- 80% -- are men who mostly back all male executive teams, according to the Center for Venture Research. Investing in women-led companies via equity crowdfunding is a way to diversify an investor's portfolio."
According to the Kaffman Foundation, which researches and advocates entrepreneurship, women-owned businesses represent 30% of all firms, but only 16% of firms that have employees and 10% of high-growth firms.
"Without education and the critical infusion of capital, women will continue to raise companies with lower sales, profits, and fewer jobs."
Both these initiatives should help to boost the number of businesswomen that utilize the alternative finance sector. | <urn:uuid:119be615-348b-4be3-b146-dbf72372304d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.altfi.com/article/0654_lending_club_to_give_a_boost_to_female_entrepreneurs | 2020-08-11T00:19:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738723.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810235513-20200811025513-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.959677 | 538 | [

Norwich Cathedral defends use of zero hours contracts, despite Archbishop of Canterbury’s ‘evil’ remarks
PUBLISHED: 10:39 14 September 2018 | UPDATED: 15:50 14 September 2018
Copypright Mike Page, All Rights Reserved Before any use is made of this picture, including dispaly, publication, broadcast, syn
Norwich Cathedral has defended its use of zero hours contracts, which were recently branded as “evil” by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Justin Welby was critical of the so-called gig economy and zero-hours contracts, saying they were “nothing new” at the TUC Conference and adding: “It is the reincarnation of an ancient evil.”
But Norwich Cathedral is currently advertising for a zero hours post within its refectory.
The advert for a refectory assistant states it is a “casual zero hours post where we hope to build up a team of reliable people who can be rostered accordingly.”
They are looking for “an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual, with a demonstrable catering experience and excellent organisational and barista skills to join the refectory team.”
Advertised at a salary of £8.30 an hour, the terms and conditions state: “The nature of the employment is such that the hours of work will be at the Chapter’s discretion and will depend on the needs of the business. “The Chapter does not guarantee to provide any minimum amount of work in any given week or month of the year.”
But The Dean of Norwich, the Very Revd Jane Hedges, defended the use of such contracts, saying they suited some members of staff who wanted flexibility, such as students and retired people.
She said: “At Norwich Cathedral zero hour contracts are given to those of our staff who choose them because it suits their lifestyle like, for example, students and people who are retired and want a flexible part-time job.
“We take the welfare and wellbeing of our staff very seriously.”
The Archbishop of Canterbury had also attacked companies such as Amazon for paying “almost nothing in taxes” and was critical of the government’s flagship welfare reform of Universal Credit.
Mid Norfolk MP George Freeman said he felt Justin Welby had gone too far with his comments. He tweeted: “I have huge respect for Justin Welby as a man and as a thoughtful and challenging leader.
“But I fear he’s ill advisedly crossed a line of political impartiality here.”
He added: “When he appears as a mouthpiece for a Marxist Labour Front bench he loses authority.”

10 Oct 2018 Sex-selective abortion & the International Day of the Girl
October 11 marks the International Day of the Girl, a day to highlight the needs and challenges faced by women and girls around the world.
In considering injustice, it is always best to start with unflinching self-examination. We quickly see that this is not a day to rest on our laurels and give thanks for the wonderfully egalitarian, feminist country in which we live. As a Canadian woman it saddens me to know that one violation of rights that faces Canadian girls year after year remains unchanged: sex-selective abortion. While countries around the world have taken steps to address and end sex-selective abortion, Canada continues to ignore the issue. So, today in Surrey, British Columbia, 50,000 pink flags will be planted in a public park to draw attention to the reality that is sex-selective abortion.
Several research studies over the past few years have shown an imbalanced birth rate in Canada, with boys outnumbering girls in a ratio that cannot be explained naturally. Earlier this year, a study headed by Dr. Susitha Wanigaratne and published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health showed a significant imbalance in the boy-girl ratio in South Asian communities. Researchers point to sex-selective abortion, which is allowed in Canada, as a contributor to this imbalance.
Naturally, about 105 boys are born for every 100 girls. In South Asian families with two girls and one or more reported abortions after that, the ratio shifts to up to 280 boys born for every 100 girls. There is no elevation in boy birth rates when no abortions are reported.
In Canada we say we care deeply about women’s rights, and equality rights. Somehow these rights have come to be synonymous with abortion as a ‘woman’s right’. Yet, this so-called ‘right’ continues to result in abortion disproportionately targeting baby girls. Abortion is not about a woman’s right to choose – it is about taking away a child’s right to live, and it makes a statement about the value that we place on women in Canada when we allow sex-selective abortion. Pre-born children are being killed simply because they are girls, and we need to draw a line that says this is not okay.
It was initially thought that sex-selective abortions in South Asian communities would decrease with the next generation, as they presumably took on Canadian values and recognized the equal worth of women. This most recent study, however, confirms that second-generation South Asian women, born in Canada, continue to show a preference for boys. Manvir Bhangu, a co-author with Wanigaratne of the 2018 study, told the Globe and Mail, “These biases are deeply rooted in our culture.”
These biases are not just deeply rooted in South Asian culture. As one researcher told CTV news, this “problem is very partially Indian, and hugely Canadian.” There is a reason that second generation South Asian women have not changed their views and suddenly started valuing women more highly. Canada has not modeled to them a valuing of women. Pornography is rampant, women continue to be portrayed as sex objects for men in movies, shows and advertising, and women continue to work for less pay than men.
By telling women we have equality and respect, Trudeau’s government is telling us a lie while refusing us the opportunity to ask questions. In a rapidly changing world of fluid gender and distorted family units, women and their unique child-bearing ability have become a poster child for oppression and repression. So what we have is abortion – is this control over your body and your future? Actually, abortion allows men a unique kind of control, combining a lack of responsibility for this “women’s issue” with allowing a disproportionately large number of new men to be born, to perpetuate the belief that men are more powerful, more valuable, and more essential to society.
There are some signs that we recognize the inherent bias of sex-selection. The Assisted Human Reproduction Act prohibits sex-selection when it comes to in vitro fertilization. But once the embryo develops into a fetus, sex-selective abortion is freely allowed in Canada.
This disconnect in the law and the underlying devaluing of women is the reason we continue working to draw attention to the injustice of sex-selective abortion. The International Day of the Girl is not only about issues facing girls outside of Canada. Called a “women’s issue”, abortion does indeed impact women far more than men – from the very earliest stages. We have work to do to defend girls right here at home.

Mercedes-AMG unveils two new sporty new GLC 43 4Matic models
Search Driven for Mercedes-Benz for sale
Based around the facelift GLC models that we saw Mercedes-AMG unveil earlier this year, the GLC 43 4Matic has been officially unveiled.
Both the standard and Coupe forms of the GLC 43 were unveiled, and are expected to hit the market later on this year.
While there is a range of new features that differentiate this model from the previous GLC 43, the most obvious being the new front end, and the revised taillights.
Powering both the new GLC 43 4Matic and GLC 43 AMG 4Matic Coupe models is a twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 that produces 287kW and 520Nm of torque. This is sent to the road through a nine-speed automatic transmission and the 4Matic all-wheel drive system.
This allows the duo to reach 100km/h in a swift 4.9 seconds, and top out at an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.
The AMG Ride Control system and Air Body Control air suspension take care of the ride, making for a very smooth one. The Ride Control system allows the vehicle to adjust the damping at each wheel on the fly, allowing for improved safety and ride comfort.
Looking at the interior, leather sports seats with red stitching come standard in both models. A flat-bottomed steering wheel takes pride of place in the cabin, and is flanked by a pair of galvanised shift paddles.
Just like other new Mercedes-AMG models, the MBUX infotainment comes standard, and can be controlled from the touchpad, the steering wheel, voice recognition, and gesture control.
Driven approached Mercedes-Benz New Zealand about the GLC 43, and while they didn't confirm pricing, they did confirm that it's heading our way later this year. | <urn:uuid:226fe403-5d1c-44cd-a62a-e56c0f74954f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.driven.co.nz/news/mercedes-amg-unveils-two-new-sporty-new-glc-43-4matic-models/ | 2020-08-12T15:26:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738905.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812141756-20200812171756-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.923649 | 410 | [

In this recurring feature in The Wesleyan Connection, we highlight some of the latest news stories about Wesleyan and our alumni.
Wesleyan in the News
“Encyclopedic in scope, but thankfully not in structure, The Movie Musicals! is a downright delightful read,” this NPR review of Corwin-Fuller Professor of Film Studies, Emerita, Jeanine Basinger’s new book proclaims. The Movie Musicals! truly “dazzles” for its insight into the roles these films have played over the 20th century and into the 21st, the review states, noting, “And throughout the hefty volume, Basinger addresses—both directly and indirectly—the essential question at the heart of musicals: What compels us to suspend disbelief and accept, if not wholly enjoy, the fantastical idea of people spontaneously breaking into song? What does this sorcery say about the immersiveness of film, and the power of song, and the mechanism of the human imagination?”
2. BBC: “Galileo’s Lost Letter”
Professor of Religion Mary-Jane Rubenstein is interviewed on “Discovery” from the BBC about the historical conflict between religion and science. “The notion that religion is somehow a backward, authoritarian, anti-rational opponent to science really comes at the end of the 19th century,” she says. There is a misperception that science and religious belief have to always be in conflict, but in actuality, Rubenstein says, it is “a battle between Protestants and Catholics that gets grafted onto and renewed as some sort of dispute between the secular and the religious.” Rubenstein comes in around 15:44 minutes.
3. PBS Newshour: “Why Haitians Say They Won’t Stop Protesting”
Professor of Anthropology Gina Athena Ulysse spoke to PBS Newshour for a story on protests in Haiti, which have been going on for more than a year as dissidents demand an end to systemic corruption in the country. “We cannot frame this as only, ‘Haiti is in crisis.’ All of Latin America is in crisis, and in fact the resistance itself is a global phenomenon that has been led by Haiti for quite some time,” she said.
4. Capital Allocators Podcast: “Anne Martin: Pulling the Oars as CIO of Wesleyan University”
Chief Investment Officer Anne Martin speaks about her path from competitive rowing to the tech world to endowment management at Yale and now at Wesleyan. Martin shares lessons she’s learned along the way.
5. Kirkus: “Best Nonfiction of 2019 by Category”
Kirkus Reviews has selected Diderot and the Art of Thinking Freely by Andrew Curran, professor of French, the William Armstrong Professor of the Humanities, as one of its “Best Biographies of 2019.” A “lively biography” of Denis Diderot, Kirkus calls the book “an intellectually dense and well-researched yet brisk journey into one of history’s most persuasive dissenters.” Read more about the book in this Connection article.
On December 17, seven women incarcerated at York Correctional Institution in Niantic, Conn., were awarded associate’s degrees from Middlesex Community College through its partnership with the Wesleyan Center for Prison Education (CPE). The article profiles one graduate, who spoke at the ceremony and described how the program helped her to overcome earlier struggles in her life and build self-esteem. “It opens up so much more,” she said. Lori Gruen, the William Griffin Professor of Philosophy, who teaches in the prison program, said: “The Center for Prison Education has grown so much in the last year. It’s been exciting. Teaching and motivating is what most of us dreamed about when we went into the field.”
Alumni in the News
1. Forbes: “30 Under 30 Class of 2020”
The listing includes Evan Weber ’13, co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, in the Law and Policy category, and Catherine Taibi ’13, who launched QuickTake by Bloomberg (formerly TicToc), in the Media category.
2. Rolling Stone: “So How Was Your Decade, Lin-Manuel Miranda [’02, Hon.’15]?”
Jon Blistein writes, “Lin-Manuel Miranda began the 2010s as a darling of the theater world and will end it as a darling of, well, pop culture as a whole.” This Q&A format is part of a series in which key musicians of the last decade consider the people and events that figured prominently in their experience of the last 10 years.
3. Lion’s Roar: “Connecting Young People to Deep Practice”
In this first-person piece by Aaron Stryker ’19, he recounts the story of the anxiety that led him to explore Buddhism and find peace in contemplative practice. He offers instruction in this approach to college students through Dharma Gates, the nonprofit he founded.
4. Stanford Medicine Scope Blog: In the Spotlight: “When You’re in a Minority, You’re Never Just a Grad Student”
Eva Valenti profiles Carolyn Dundes ’17, a doctoral student in Stanford’s Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine program, who is also an LGBTQ community advocate. Dundes recalls working in the lab of Prof. Laura Grabel, and discusses their own current work and advocacy commitments. “As a nonbinary scientist, running Trans& has been an important way for me to connect with other gender-minority peers at Stanford,” they say.
5. Los Angeles Times: Scott Timberg [’90], Spirited Listener, Reader and Writer, Is Dead at 50
Scott Timberg ’91, former culture editor of the Los Angeles Times and the author of the 2015 book Culture Crash: The Killing of the Creative Class,” died Dec. 10, 2019, a victim of suicide. Through their pain, his family—along with his community of writers, journalists, and musicians—remember him with admiration. His brother, Craig Timberg, wrote in a message to friends, “His death by suicide shocked us all while also silencing a voice of tremendous insight and eloquence about so, so many things that he loved.” | <urn:uuid:8d5f4335-a1c1-49da-b723-dcb28cd03b14> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://newsletter.blogs.wesleyan.edu/2019/12/17/wesleyan-in-the-news-43/ | 2020-08-14T08:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739182.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814070558-20200814100558-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.945057 | 1,372 | [

As a small company shipping is very expensive for us, so unfortunately we can't offer free shipping across the board. We're working on it.
In general, shipping gets cheaper the more you add to your basket. So the P&P will be cheaper / better as your order total increases.
If you are a UK customer, orders over £100 qualify for free shipping. Our standard mail is Royal Mail 48 Signed For. So we know when you have it but it isn't tracked all the way.
We also offer a Next Business day service via Interlink. It's extremely robust and efficient. Order by 4pm and it'll be there the next business day. Note that orders on Friday will be there on Monday. This service is free over £100.
US and AUSTRALIA
Here we exclusively use DHL. It is super fast and very reliable. It isn't cheap unfortunately. But the more you order the cheaper it gets.
REST OF THE WORLD
In most cases you can choose standard mail or express. We encourage you to go for express (DHL) if you can. It is so much faster and more reliable. Standard mail will end up with your local postal service... good luck :-) | <urn:uuid:b3ab10d5-df20-48e4-b350-715c5a8f1ed7> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://stolengoatfaq.groovehq.com/help/how-much-is-shipping-15 | 2020-08-14T07:18:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739182.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814070558-20200814100558-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.947121 | 251 | [

If London's mayor has anything to say about it, President Donald Trump won't be visiting the city anytime soon.
"I don't think we should roll out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for," London Mayor Sadiq Khan said.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Monday in an interview with the U.K.'s Channel 4 News he thinks Trump should cancel his visit across the pond.
Khan has publicly opposed the visit since Prime Minister Theresa May announced it earlier this year.
But Khan doubled down on his stance just hours after Trump criticized his response to the London terror attack.
"Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. No reason to be alarmed," Khan said.
Trump condemned the last part of that comment, tweeting on Sunday, "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'"
But this isn't the first call for May to rescind her invitation.
"It's extraordinary that Trump from cavernous depths of his scientific ignorance is prepared to challenge conclusions of 97 percent of the world's experts on this matter," said Paul Flynn, Labour Party Parliament member.
"There is something quite refreshing about a politician actually doing what they said they'd do before they were elected," said Adam Holloway, Conservative Party Parliament member.
Officials in both the U.K. and the U.S. have blasted Trump for what he said about Khan.
But the White House has defended the president's comments.
"I don't see that the president is picking a fight with the mayor of London at all," White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters.
Trump is expected to visit the U.K. in October. | <urn:uuid:633afc17-7ea7-414e-8623-09115e81a677> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.newsy.com/stories/london-s-mayor-wants-to-cancel-trump-s-state-visit-to-the-uk/ | 2020-08-06T02:03:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735990.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806001745-20200806031745-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.978195 | 374 | [

The 11th meeting of Basingstoke Knee Osteotomy Masterclass continues with the latest innovations, including live femoral & tibial surgery.
We have a line up of key faculty from the UK and abroad, who will explore exciting new developments in knee osteotomy for 2020.
Live surgery demonstrations
Live surgery from theatre for both HTO and DFO.
Workshops & lectures
Practical HTO & DFO workshops with an experienced national and international faculty to assist and explain procedures.
Planning for osteotomy surgery including software training.
Workshop discussion groups for HTO and DFO – the essentials learned hands on.
Lectures and case discussions from world renowned faculty.
Day one of the course is aimed at younger and less experienced surgeons who want to get to grips with the basics of osteotomy and understand how to perform a high tibial osteotomy. This will provide invaluable information to the trainees in preparing for their FRCS and for those surgeons who wants to get to grips with this procedure.
The focus of the day will be short lectures to set the scene followed by a Live HTO demo, discussion sessions to allow delegates to ask questions about each and every aspect of High Tibial Osteotomy surgery.
The course will cover the indications, patient selection and execution of this procedure.
Finally we will show how to fix the osteotomy and plate selection.This will be supplemented by a hands on saw bone work shop which allows delegates to get hands on experience in carrying out HTO surgery
The focus of day 2 is more around Femoral Osteotomy, and the more complex aspects of osteotomy surgery.
As with day 1 the international and national experts will walk you through how to execute this procedure safely.
We will show a live demo of a Distal Femoral Ostoeomy from theatre.
We will also introduce new ideas and developments in the field of osteotomy surgery.
Finally, all delegates will get hands on training with a saw bone session where each delegate will carry out a DFO in the ideal training scenario.
The intention is that enthusiastic delegates who engage with the course should take away a greater understanding of the indications, principles and methods of knee osteotomy together with an increased confidence in the practicalities of performing these procedures.
Limited places available.
Workshop discussion groups
These small group seminars are designed to promote discussion and give delegates an opportunity to ask questions from the international expert faculty. They’ve been a popular component of the course in the past so remain an essential part of the program. A key element here will be clinical case discussion. Delegates are encouraged to bring their own cases to the meeting for discussion with faculty and other delegates.
Who should attend
The course is not only aimed at surgeons with little or no experience of osteotomy: we also encourage knee surgeons who regularly perform osteotomy to come and share their experiences.
Discussion and debate is a key part of any meeting, that’s why there will be an opportunity for delegates and faculty to network over an informal dinner on Thursday evening.

Something I've been doing lately has me wondering. It seems that the more I'm given of something, the more I want. It isn't until I am consumed with wanting that I stop and realize that I need to reevaluate my gratitude. Then life becomes smoother.
What a wake up call.
This has happened with my writing, my friends, shoes.
Lately, yes, it sounds really trivial and I am ashamed to admit it, but I've found myself wanting more and more blog followers and sad when I don't have more every day. Now isn't that silly?
Then it hit me the other day. How sad that I don't appreciate the friends already there. How sad! I felt awful for taking you for granted and have since decided to quit obsessing.
I find the best way to keep myself in line is to always open my eyes to what I have and be happy with it.
How do you deal with life when things seem to get out of control?

This Porsche 912 has lived in California its entire life and is our favorite Irish Green with black interior color combo. It is available here on Craigslist from the private owner for $8750.
This car has had one re-spray and looks to be an all original USA-spec car. It is worth looking at the front pan, rear glass, and lower fenders for rust, but the car will probably be somewhat dry because of its long California history. The 67’s share the short wheelbase with the same year 911, and are free of ugly side-markers and smog pumps of the 68’s.
The factory 5-dial dash is in good condition and the stereo hole is un-cut….a common modification in the 70’s and 80’s was larger stereo units. The grey carpets and black seats are worn but in all original condition. There are no extra switches or holes that we can see.
The engine could use some cleaning and tuning, but is complete and original down to the factory Knecht air cleaners on the solid-shaft Solex carbs. When tuned well this 95hp engine will make just enough power to enjoy the Porsche’s handling.
We like this car based on the options and the reasonable asking price. It needs some work but is definitely drivable in the meantime. Many 912’s have had hard lives because they were not cared for the way the 911’s were. This one looks like it might have avoided that.
6/2/2007 Update: This car has been pulled for Craigslist and was sold. | <urn:uuid:d142ded9-f782-4cf0-b7c1-6b00d74c73e3> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://bringatrailer.com/2007/05/26/black-plate-1967-porsche-912-swb-coupe/ | 2020-08-11T06:50:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738735.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811055449-20200811085449-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.971028 | 333 | [

UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Edwin C. ALLEN, II, Defendant, Appellant.
Defendant-appellant, Edwin C. Allen, appeals the special conditions of his supervised release. Because we do not find that the district court erred in imposing the conditions, we affirm.
On April 27, 2001, Allen pled guilty to a single count of tax evasion for making a false claim on a financial statement. Based upon a claim of diminished mental capacity, Allen sought a downward departure from the sentencing range listed in the United States Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.).1 The district court refused his request and on November 5, 2001 sentenced him to eight months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release.
Allen makes two arguments attacking the special conditions imposed. First, he argues that three conditions are overbroad and involve a greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary for the purposes of his supervised release. Second, he contends that the special condition requiring that he attend mental health treatment improperly delegates judicial authority to the probation officer.
II. Standard of Review
Ordinarily, we would review the imposition of special conditions of supervised release for abuse of discretion. United States v. Peppe, 80 F.3d 19, 22 (1st Cir.1996). However, because Allen had an opportunity to object to the special conditions and failed to do so, we review for plain error only. Id. “The plain error hurdle is high. Under the standard, we may set aside the challenged portion of the instant sentence if, and only if, the appellant succeeds in showing an obvious and clear error under current law that affected his substantial rights.” United States v. Brown, 235 F.3d 2, 4 (1st Cir.2000) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). However, “[e]ven then, we may decline to correct an error that does not seriously affect the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings.” Id.
III. Overbreadth Challenges
U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3 governs the conditions of supervised release. The court may impose additional conditions where they are reasonably related to the offense and the history of the defendant, as long as they do not deprive the defendant of a greater amount “of liberty than is reasonably necessary” to deter criminal conduct and to protect the public from the defendant. U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3(b) (2000).2 The Federal Sentencing Commission (“the Commission”) provides a list of “special conditions” that it recommends in specified circumstances. U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3(d). We now consider the special conditions that Allen challenges.
A. Financial Information and Credit Limitations
Allen argues that the provisions requiring that he “provide the probation officer with access to any requested financial information” and limiting his ability to obtain credit are overbroad in violation of section 5D1.3(b).3 Far from committing error, the district court imposed special conditions that the Commission specifically recommends for defendants, such as Allen, who are paying fines in installments. U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3(d)(2)-(3). Consequently, Allen has not established that the district court imposed these conditions in clear error.
B. Alcohol Prohibitions
Allen next challenges the special condition prohibiting his possession of alcohol and his presence at establishments primarily serving alcohol. The condition provides:
Defendant shall not at any time be in possession, joint, sole, actual or constructive, of any alcoholic beverage. He shall not associate with individuals consuming alcoholic beverages, shall not frequent business establishments whose primary product to the consumer is alcoholic beverages, and shall not use any medication containing alcohol without permission from the probation officer or a prescription from a licensed physician.
Allen argues that the condition is overbroad and that there is not an adequate relationship between the nature and circumstances of his offense and the special condition imposed.
Allen has not shown that the alcohol condition is so broadly drawn or divorced from the nature and circumstances of his offense that it constitutes clear error. The record contains ample evidence of Allen's history of alcohol abuse, including a conviction for driving while under the influence of alcohol. In addition, defense counsel argued that Allen's mental illness contributed to the commission of his crime, and that Allen's abuse of alcohol exacerbated the symptoms of the mental illness. Based on the record, the district court did not commit obvious error in concluding that Allen's history of alcohol abuse required a stiff prohibition,4 see United States v. Thurlow, 44 F.3d 46, 47 (1st Cir.1995) (upholding a special condition prohibiting the use and possession of alcohol where the record showed a history of alcohol abuse), and that there was “an adequate relationship between the nature and circumstances of the offense, the demonstrated propensities of the offender and the special condition attached to the offender's release,” Brown, 235 F.3d at 7. Far from erring, the district court created an alcohol prohibition reasonably related to Allen's history of alcohol abuse and to permissible goals of supervised release, including Allen's rehabilitation and protection of the public.
IV. Delegation Argument
Finally, Allen claims that Judge Hornby impermissibly delegated judicial authority to the probation officer when he ordered, as a special condition of supervised release, that “[d]efendant shall participate in a program of mental health treatment, as directed by the probation officer, until such time as the defendant is released from the program by the probation officer.” According to Allen, this condition is an unlawful delegation because it empowers the probation officer to decide whether and for how long Allen must participate in mental health treatment.
While “[c]ases or controversies committed to Art. III courts cannot be delegated to nonjudicial officers for resolution[,][t]hat general principle does not ․ prohibit courts from using nonjudicial officers to support judicial functions, as long as that judicial officer retains and exercises ultimate responsibility.” United States v. Johnson, 48 F.3d 806, 809 (4th Cir.1995); see also United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 683, 100 S.Ct. 2406, 65 L.Ed.2d 424 (1980) (holding that “so long as the ultimate decision is made by the district court,” delegation to a magistrate judge does not violate Article III); cf. United States v. Merric, 166 F.3d 406, 409 (1st Cir.1999) (vacating a sentence in which the judge delegated final authority over defendant's fine payment schedule to the probation officer). Allen relies on cases outside this Circuit for his claim that this special condition amounted to an unlawful delegation. See United States v. Peterson, 248 F.3d 79 (2d Cir.2001); United States v. Kent, 209 F.3d 1073 (8th Cir.2000). Unlike Allen, we do not read these opinions as announcing-nor do we adopt-a general rule that counseling clauses such as the one before us are prohibited. However, these cases do provide persuasive guidance for the proposition that special conditions of probation should be evaluated in light of the facts of the case as reflected by the entire record. In Kent, the Eighth Circuit vacated the district court's imposition of a special condition requiring the defendant to attend psychological counseling because it appeared that the “probation officer, as opposed to the court, would retain and exercise ultimate responsibility over the situation.” Kent, 209 F.3d at 1079. Crucially, the court made this determination after examining the entire record and finding both that the trial judge had stated outright that the parole officer would be the one to determine whether defendant had to attend counseling and that the record did not demonstrate that the defendant had mental health problems. Id. at 1075, 1078-79. Citing to Kent, the Second Circuit provided a concise rule for delegations of psychiatric counseling:
If [the defendant] is required to participate in a mental health intervention only if directed to do so by his probation officer, then this special condition constitutes an impermissible delegation of judicial authority to the probation officer. On the other hand, if the District Court was intending nothing more than to delegate to the probation officer details with respect to the selection and schedule of the program, such delegation was proper.
Peterson, 248 F.3d at 85 (citations omitted).
When we examine the record, it becomes evident that Judge Hornby was merely directing the probation officer to perform ministerial support services and was not giving the officer the power to determine whether Allen had to attend psychiatric counseling. The record contains many references to Allen's mental illness. For example, defense counsel submitted an affidavit from Allen's doctor, Ronald S. Ebert, who “found that there was a history suggestive of a mental illness as well as alcohol abuse” and opined that Allen was “suffering from a major depressive disorder characterized by mood disorder, depression, disorganized and confused thinking, anxiety and irritability.” Defense counsel stated Dr. Stephanie Brody diagnosed Allen with “affective mental illness.” Defense counsel argued that Allen's mental illness contributed to the commission of Allen's crime and asked the court to impose mental health treatment as a condition of probation, if the court agreed to a reduction in his sentence. The extensive evidence of Allen's mental illness indicates that the court was imposing mandatory counseling and delegating the administrative details to the probation officer, actions constituting a permissible delegation. See Peterson, 248 F.3d at 85.
For the reasons stated above, we affirm.
1. Applying the 2000 Sentencing Guidelines, Judge Hornby found that Allen fell in the Zone C range of eight to fourteen months imprisonment.
2. U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3(b) states in its entirety:(b) The court may impose other conditions of supervised release to the extent that such conditions (1) are reasonably related to (A) the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant; (B) the need for the sentence imposed to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct; (C) the need to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and (D) the need to provide the defendant with needed educational or vocational training, medical care, or other correctional treatment in the most effective manner; and (2) involve no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary for the purposes set forth above and are consistent with any pertinent policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission.
3. It is notable that the credit condition does not prevent Allen from obtaining credit; it merely requires that he gain approval from his probation officer before applying for credit.
4. Allen can petition for a change in the condition if it is applied unreasonably. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e).

Visiting Scholar Validates Online Tool to Assess Diagnostic Performance
Physicians strive for diagnostic acumen. It is a fundamental skill in the practice of medicine. In today’s world of medical education, however, much of diagnostic performance is inferred, rather than measured. As an example, physicians in training are observed during rounds to determine their ability to diagnose patients. But what if diagnostic performance could be measured using a scalable, practical, and objective tool? Could this tool serve double duty for medical education and physician assessment?
As an ABMS Visiting Scholar in the 2017-2018 Class, Souvik Chatterjee, MD, now an attending physician at Medstar Washington Hospital Center in D.C., set out to validate a new method of assessing diagnostic performance that uses brief, open-ended case simulations.* Dr. Chatterjee believes the time has come to incorporate online educational delivery methods and assessment tools into standardized medical education. “We’re assuming that observing individual trainees doing rounds is the best way to evaluate them,” he said. “While direct observation is an invaluable tool, it could be augmented with objective assessments. We need to look more carefully at how to use technology to advance skill sets for training, education, and assessment.”
Dr. Chatterjee and his colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study of 11,023 unique attempts to solve case simulations using an online software platform, the Human Diagnosis Project (Human Dx). The attempts were made by 1,738 practicing physicians, residents (internal medicine, family medicine, and emergency medicine), and medical students across the country who voluntarily used the Human Dx software between Jan. 21, 2016, and Jan. 15, 2017. Three measures were used to assess diagnostic performance: accuracy, efficiency, and a combined score called Diagnostic Acumen Precision Performance (DAPP), which is consistent with the Institute of Medicine’s emphasis on both timely and accurate diagnosis. The Human Dx app already looked at accuracy and efficiency, but the study authors created the DAPP score because clinicians really need a combination of the two to determine how well they diagnose the cases, he said. Users were then analyzed by level of training and affiliation with an institution in the top 25 ranked medical schools as ranked by US News and World Report in the study posted on JAMA Network Open Jan. 11.
Overall, attending physicians had higher mean accuracy, efficiency, and DAPP scores than residents, interns, and medical students. Attending physicians affiliated with a US News and World Report-ranked institution had higher mean DAPP scores compared with nonaffiliated attending physicians. Similarly, resident physicians affiliated with an institution ranked in the top 25 medical schools by US News and World Report had higher mean DAPP scores compared with nonaffiliated peers.
The study found that individuals with more training demonstrated higher diagnostic performance. More importantly for Dr. Chatterjee’s purposes, the DAPP score may be a valid measure to assess it. “Validating this tool is one step closer to realizing that we can use low fidelity online simulation as an assessment tool for different aspects of care,” he said.
“We found that it takes, on average, two to three minutes to solve a case,” noted Dr. Chatterjee, who applied for the Visiting Scholars Program because of his interest in physician assessment and leadership. That translates to between 120 and 240 cases in an eight-hour day. In comparison, when doing rounds it can take an entire day to take care of eight to 20 patients. “And I might not get a diagnosis that day for any of those patients,” he said. “It could take a week or longer.” In contrast, this online simulated tool provides immediate feedback to solve a case quickly, Dr. Chatterjee said. “It’s a low fidelity environment, but the cognitive examples are replicated from the clinical world, so you’re going through the same diagnostic process, just at an accelerated pace,” he added.
This type of tool could potentially be useful for physician assessment, Dr. Chatterjee noted. He believes it would appeal to many clinicians. “It’s easy to do and doesn’t take up that much time,” Dr. Chatterjee said, “plus it provides useful educational content and learner-specific feedback.” Users choose real-life cases they want to solve that have been posted by other physicians and align with their practice. The Member Boards could evaluate existing cases on the Human Dx app, which are categorized by specialty, or create their own series of cases as part of continuing certification programs and/or continuing medical education activities, he said.
In the meantime, Dr. Chatterjee is already thinking about how to create high-fidelity online simulation for critical care that includes an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists. “A higher fidelity environment would allow us to look at knowledge, the diagnostic process, team-based care, and the ability to perform under stress,” he explained. Assessing how well the high-fidelity internet simulator correlates with the real world would be another step toward validating such tools.
“We are trying to study the best way to educate and assess physicians in a way that will provide useful information and feedback,” Dr. Chatterjee concluded. “Physicians are eager for more feedback on their performance; we need to figure out how best to provide that to them.”
