Hello again everyone! Ally Brimmer here, and a little while ago I wrote about adjusting to your new dorm and your roommate, but now I want to get into fun things to do once you actually settle in at William & Mary! Not only have I spent three academic years at W&M, but I have also spent two summers in Williamsburg, so I am very aware of the variety of what the ‘burg has to offer.
When it comes to W&M students, in their down time a lot of the undergrads here just like to relax with their friends. You can always find people chatting on the Terrace, having a picnic in the Sunken Gardens, reading a book in a hammock, playing pool in the basement of Sadler, or playing board games with their hallmates in their communal lounge. If you want something easy and free to do on campus, then take a load off and just hang out somewhere.
On a nice sunny day, you can always find people on the Sunken Gardens playing frisbee or soccer. Even on cloudy days, you can go to the Rec and find people playing a game of basketball or climbing the rock wall. For those that love sports, sign up for Intramural (IM) Sports perhaps with some of your new friends from your hall or from the organization you recently joined. Sports are a great way to let off some steam and bond with other students. If those kinds of exercise aren’t your thing you could also go kayaking on Lake Matoaka or take workout classes at the Recreation Center like Cardio Dance, Zumba, Yoga, etc.
Being in an a cappella group, a really fun thing I always go to are Wren Tens. Almost every Wednesday of the year at 10:00PM, an a cappella group will perform for 30 minutes on Wren Building Portico. There are always other music events put on by groups like Alma Mater Productions (AMP). They put on Homebrews on select Thursday nights for students to perform music and Fridays at Five where they hire bands to come and perform on the Terrace. Additionally, there is Wham Bam (a jazz band), W&M Wind Ensemble, W&M Orchestra, W&M Choirs, etc. that have concerts year-round.
A no-brainer thing you can do is to stroll down Colonial Williamsburg and take in all the history when you take a photo in the stocks. On Saturday’s there is a Farmer’s Market on DoG Street (with actual dogs everywhere). On campus, AMP holds events like movie screenings. Another typical thing to do is go to a Tribe Sports Game, which are free to students. It’s fun to get all decked out in green and gold and go support the Tribe and maybe take a picture with the Griffin. Now some of Williamsburg’s offerings are a little far from campus, but the WATA bus system can take you everywhere you might want to go. Busch Gardens is fairly close to our campus and you should be sure to take advantage of W&M’s Busch Gardens day in the Fall Semester where we get discounted tickets! Or you could take the bus to visit some of the pancake houses in the area or go shopping at the Williamsburg outlets.
Finally, when it comes for some things to do at night, a favorite of mine is trivia at Brickhouse Tavern. Every Wednesday night at 9:00 PM, Brickhouse holds a popular and crowded trivia night where the winning teams can earn gift cards. So get together with your friends, form a team, get a pizza, and play some trivia. Or you could take the bus over to Movie Tavern and watch a new release while also eating dinner in these big chairs. If you want to do something a little more low-key you could go down to DoG Street for some ice cream at Kilwin’s that always hits the spot.
I’ve listed a bunch of activities, but there is still lots of other things you can and will find to do at William & Mary!
The Office of First Year Experience is responsible for creating an engaging transition experience where new students, both first-time in college and transfer students, are empowered to optimally thrive at William & Mary. | <urn:uuid:ac8ec19d-5d50-43dd-a26e-19a51291004b> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://firstyear.blogs.wm.edu/2018/07/fun-things-williamsburg/ | 2020-08-13T20:00:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739073.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813191256-20200813221256-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.957497 | 891 | [

Alex unconsciously dropped his phone onto the seat beside him. He was staring out of the window, looking along the highway leading out of town from where they were stopped at the flashing red light. He could see the highway curve away as it passed out of Ridgeline and out of sight, and above that was the sunset.
Alex was speechless. The sunset was huge, the sky a bright pallet of colors, oranges and reds, purples and blues the higher he looked. He had never seen such a sunset before. In the comfortable world of trees that he was used to, these kinds of things were always hidden.
Before he could take it all in, Roc pulled through the intersection and the sunset was lost behind the faces of old, main street buildings. They were brick or stucco, well-kept but obviously old, probably as old as the town itself.
The main street – Alex knew it was the main street from his Maps search – consisted of only about two blocks of businesses, and then it shifted into a residential area. Larger, old but fixed up houses lined both sides of the street. It took Alex a second to realize how these houses were different than what he was used to, but he soon realized that they were very spread out, each with large yards. Back on the east coast, there were neighborhoods with spaced-out houses like this, but they were mostly new, extravagant homes. There was nothing extravagant about these homes, just big yards.
About three blocks from the red light, Roc slowed and turned the pickup off the main highway and onto a side street. As they turned, Alex noticed that he could already see the end of town to the south, where the highway they had just left disappeared over a hill. That view, too, quickly disappeared as they entered the side street.
Roc took them two blocks from the main highway. The size of the houses diminished slightly as they went, and they pulled up along the curb outside a moderately-sized, two-story house on the corner. Roc turned the key and the engine stopped, but Alex could still feel the vibrations of the road.
It was a fixer upper. Alex could see this as he opened the door and slid out of the pickup to the ground. The house was mostly brick, the roof was shake shingled, but everything was aged. The house was square, or square-ish. There were lots of little nooks and crannies to the house, almost as if its whole was made up of a bunch of random smaller parts. There was a large yard that wrapped all the way around the house, but it was dead. February, Alex realized. Things didn’t grow here in February.
Also, it was cold. Alex reached back in for his coat and put it on. Three doors slammed, and Alex, Jax, and their father stepped up on the sidewalk to take in the house and its surroundings.
“This’ll do,” Roc said.
“It’s awesome, dad!” Jax said, and he took off across the yard. He was always excited about new places.
“Hold on,” Roc called, and started after him.
Alex stood on the sidewalk for a moment longer, taking in the house, the wide but sparse yard, the dilapidated garage off to one side near the alley, and the silhouettes of the ancient trees standing around the yard, leafless, stretching their black, skeleton fingers toward the sky.
It was quiet here, Alex realized, quieter than anywhere he’d experienced before. There was no sound of traffic, not a single car. The birds had bedded down for the night, if there had been any before, so there was no chirping. No dogs barked, no kids squealed, nothing.
Shaking off the strange sense of aloneness, Alex turned back to the pickup, opened the door, and grabbed his bag and sleeping bag, and then made his way across the yard toward the side of the house facing the garage, to the door where his father and Jax had disappeared. A light shined through a window in the door from inside, and the window rattled when Alex opened the door.
The silence he had been experiencing did not exist in the house. When he entered, he was met by the sound of Jax’s pounding feet and cries of, “Look at this!” and “What’s in here!” Jax was trying to see it all as fast as he could, like usual.
Alex looked around the little mud room right inside the door. There was a dark stairway leading steeply down to a basement. Beside that were two steps up through another doorway and into the rest of the house. Roc’s boots were standing by the doorway, so Alex slid his shoes off, too, and hung his coat on one hook in a row of hooks beside the door.
He padded into a small kitchen and set his bag and sleeping bag down against the wall. Roc was leaning against the worn counter near the sink, typing on his phone.
“How’d you get the key already,” Alex asked as he looked around the kitchen. It was small and the appliances looked old, but it would be enough for them.
“They left it on the counter,” his father said, “and left the door unlocked.”
Alex raised his eyebrows at that. They left the door unlocked? This place was already so much different than any place they had lived before. He shrugged it off and turned to go see the house.
The rooms were small and different shapes and sizes. The layout didn’t seem to make much sense. There were lots of windows in every room. The floors were hardwood, made up of narrow, worn boards. The walls were white. Boring besides the strange layout, Alex thought.
He already heard the pounding of Jax’s feet from the floor above him. He found the stairs and climbed them. They creaked, the stairway was narrow and dark, and the ceiling was high. On the upper floor, he found a short hallway, and he stuck his head into three simple bedrooms and a small bathroom. Alex was in a corner bedroom.
“This room’s mine!” he said.
“Looks good,” Alex replied. “Which one should I take?”
“Oh, I know just the one!” Jax said and pushed past Alex to leave the room.
He led Alex to a room at the end of the hall. It was not any larger than the others, but it had three sizable windows abutting each other and looking out the end of the house. It also had slanted sides to the ceiling, where the roof slanted down.
“You’ll like this room,” Jax said. “I can help you remodel it!”
Alex laughed. “We’ll see,” he said. He tapped on that wall. “Plaster,” he said to Jax. “Plaster is hard to work with.”
Jax blew out a sigh and rolled his eyes. “Whatever,” he said, and he was back out into the hallway and then down the steps in a flurry of stomps.
Alex walked across the room and looked out of one of the windows. One of the large, skeleton trees stood in the yard right outside his window. It was almost dark out now, and he couldn’t see much, but he was already thinking about changes he could make to the room.
He turned around and scanned the space. There was no closet, for one. He would tear the plaster down and put drywall up, and he would add a closet while he was at it. The room wasn’t really that big, but it would be big enough.
As he took a step toward the door to leave, the overhead light flickered. He stopped and looked at it. It was an old, ceramic lighting mount on the ceiling with one old incandescent bulb. A light cover of the type with springy wires that clung to the bulb itself covered it.
The flicker had been brief, and now Alex took another step toward the door.
It flickered again, and when Alex stopped, it stopped.
He stared at the light for a moment, thinking, and then he bounced his weight a little on the balls of his feet.
The light flickered and then stopped when he stopped.
Another thing I’ll have to fix, he thought, wondering about the age of the wiring that surely ran through the attic on insulators as old as the house itself.
He flicked the light switch off and headed back downstairs. His father was still typing on his phone and Jax was out digging through the bed of the pickup, looking for either toys or clothes, Alex supposed.
“What’s up, dad?” Alex asked, and when his father looked up, Alex indicated the phone.
“I’m still working on Jimmy and Elijah,” Roc replied. “If I can get even one of them here, it would help me out immensely.”
“Do you think they’ll come?”
His father shook his head. “I don’t know.” He was typing again.
Alex grabbed his bag and sleeping bag. “Heading to bed,” he said.
Roc looked up, a little startled. “Are you hungry?” he asked. “We could go find something to eat?”
“No. I’m fine. I really don’t want to get back in that truck right now.”
Later, Alex lay on his back in his sleeping bag, staring out the window at the moon shining through the bony fingers of the big old tree.
What a strange place, he thought. Never had his welcome to a place been so quiet. Never had he felt so alone, like he, Jax, and their father were the only people left in the world.
What would tomorrow bring? What would Ridgeline be like in the daytime? Those were the thoughts on Alex’s mind when he finally drifted off to sleep. Those questions, and the soft hooting of an owl outside his window, left him with restless dreams and fits of tossing and turning all night. | <urn:uuid:25d25b4a-4bfe-4717-a7a6-50079d28a0d6> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://dennisseberger.com/short-works/the-hills-2/the-hills-3-ridgeline/ | 2020-08-15T14:12:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740848.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815124541-20200815154541-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.990743 | 2,223 | [

Dotun Adebayo is starting his new role as 5 Live’s weekday overnight presenter from next week – three months later than originally planned.
Dotun was announced earlier this year as the replacement for the departing Rhod Sharp, and was due to take over the Monday to Friday 1am-5am slot from the start of April.
But the Coronavirus pandemic meant that instead he has been hosting overnight shows for BBC Radio London, which the rest of the BBC Local Radio network – as well as 5 Live – have been opting in to.
From Monday 6th July, 5 Live will produce the overnight programme again with other stations taking the network feed. BBC Radio London’s schedule shows that it will take the 5 Live programme Monday to Friday, with Jim Davis doing 0100-0500 on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Dotun is a familiar voice to overnight radio, having hosted Up All Night on 5 Live at weekends for the last 9 years. The BBC says the revamped Up All Night will feature callers at the heart of the output, something which has proved popular during the lockdown shows over the last few months.
Dotun says: “This programme has always been for night people who like to talk – driving home or home alone or listening through headphones because your partner’s asleep in the bed beside you. Over recent months the conversation has taken us to every nook and cranny in the country where it has been needed more than ever. Every call tells a story.”
Regular features moving from Dotun’s weekend Up All Night shows include the World Football Phone-In which moves to Tuesday mornings and the Virutal Jukeox which moves to Thursdays. 5 Live says Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings will be ‘night club nights’, where Dotun ‘dims the lights and turns up the volume of calls’.
Heidi Dawson, Controller of 5 Live, said: “Dotun is the master of late night radio and at a time of national uncertainty his show has connected with audiences in an extra special way. It is the perfect time for his programme to move to five nights on the station. Now, Dotun can continue to be there for listeners through the early hours to share experiences, opinions and fears during the most difficult time in our recent history.”
Dotun has been a regular voice on BBC Radio London since 1993 and was awarded the MBE in 2009 for services to the arts. | <urn:uuid:99d501c9-2cab-46c4-95b4-0d0444a537c1> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://radiotoday.co.uk/2020/07/bbc-radio-5-live-takes-overnights-back-from-local-radio/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+radiotoday+%28Radio+Today+-+News%29 | 2020-08-15T14:42:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740848.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815124541-20200815154541-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.967445 | 517 | [

I am new here and am looking for some advice from TEFL students or teachers and I thought this might be a good place to ask.
I have been considering taking a CELTA course for some time now but have always been quite apprehensive about getting up in front of a class. Last month, I decided to attend a TEFL taster weekend to give myself an idea of what the CELTA course would be like. I thoroughly enjoyed all the theory & learning about grammar and different types of lessons, but when it came to doing a 10 minute teaching practice in front of the other students on the course, I was a nervous wreck! Although I got through my lessons (unlike a few others on the course) I felt sick with nerves all the way through. My throat was dry, my voice wasn’t loud enough, my hands were shaking, my blackboard writing was all wobbly and my knees were trembling so much that I was rooted to the one spot, holding onto the board all the way through. Everyone said that I appeared calm but I certainly didn’t feel it. I noticed that other students seemed very natural and relaxed when they were doing their practice – almost like they had a talent to teach people.
I am not a naturally confident person. I really am quite introverted and shy and I wondered if perhaps this means that I would not make a good teacher. Obviously talking in front of a class is the main part of being a TEFL teacher so its important to be comfortable and confident doing so. Does this confidence come with practice to people, like me, who are shy, or should you already have it before you begin a course? I know I would be fine teaching people one-to-one, but I get so nervous at the thought of standing in front of a class…especially throughout the CELTA course where you are also being observed.
I know that I would enjoy the lesson preparations and the creativity involved and certainly being able to help people learn another language, but I don’t know if I can get over the nerves I have about taking a class. Can anyone offer me some advice? Has anyone felt similar and managed to overcome their nerves, or do you think that it takes an already confident person to succeed in this field?
Sorry this post is so long! I have not been sure where to get some honest advice about this so thank you for any help that you are able to give me.
What you describe is perfectly normal. I am yet to meet a teacher who wasn’t very nervous when they got up in front of a class on their training course. I certainly was!
Remember that on the CELTA you are being observed all the time by your tutor and fellow trainees – when you start a teaching job, this won’t be the case (apart from occasional observations by your Director of Studies which, again, can make even the most experienced of teachers nervous).
What I’m trying to say is that you would be in a very small minority if your knees weren’t wobbly and your mouth didn’t go dry!! – I suspect that under the cool exterior that you describe in the other trainees, they were feeling the same as you.
If you are a naturally shy person, this does not mean that you cannot be a good teacher. It is a question of finding a teaching style which suits you. If you like the idea of the creative side of things, this is a good sign. As your experience grows, your confidence in your teaching will grow, and the nerves will get less and less.
I hope this helps – teaching can be the most rewarding of professions. If you like the idea of teaching, as you clearly do, then go for it. You’ll find that it’s worth the inevitable nerves of the training course!
I’ve been teaching English for over 10 years but I distinctly remember how nervous I was getting in front of a class the first time. Now, I hadn’t had any training, and was only volunteering at the local YMCA, but these were real students expecting to really learn English. I was a nervous wreck!
BUT, as time went on, and I realized I wasn’t hopeless, I became more and more natural and relaxed. I just moved to Australia from Germany, was in Poland for years before that, and am originally from the US. I just started another new job in Australia, and it’s not a problem at all.
Some people are natural teachers. I will admit that I think I am a natural teacher. Do you have to have a lot of self confidence? Not really. I most certainly don’t. BUT, what I DO have is a love of working with people, helping people and am definitely an extrovert.
Good luck! Teaching is a wonderful profession.
I’ve been teaching for over thirty years and I’m still nervous every time I meet a new class. And I don’t think I’d want to go on teaching if I wasn’t – it’s a sign that I know I might meet something new and challenging, and that I’m putting myself on the line. Without that, it would get very boring.
It’s a bit like going on the stage. You need the adrenaline that nerves create to give a really good performance the first time. Then as you get used to the situation – in this case the class – the nerves calm down and you relax into it more. But not too much – I doubt if the cast of the Mousetrap were nervous after their Nth performance, but I doubt if it was great acting either. There comes a time when, if you’re too much at home with a class, it all gets dull. There’s no stimulus any more, for you or them. So it’s time to change – and back to more first night nerves.
I’m not trying to say by all this that you need to be putting on a great theatrical performance in the classroom. As somebody else said too, there are all sorts of different teaching styles and the important thing is to find yours so you can be yourself. Your CELTA course should help with this. Don’t think that the tutors are expecting amazing predefined things from you – they’re not. They’re there to teach you various techniques, which you’re not expected to know before, which will give you a framework within which they can help you develop as a teacher while remaining yourself.
Obviously, if you continue to be really terrified even when you’ve finished your course and are working unobserved with your own classes, and it just makes the whole thing miserable for you, perhaps it’s not the right path. There’s no stigma attached to saying I’d be better at and I’d be happier doing something else. Quite the opposite. But give it a try first – and lots of luck.
Let us know how you get on.

Thank you all very much for your kind and helpful replies. Its certainly nice to know that I am not the only one with jelly knees and that even experienced teachers can sometimes feel nervous. I am going to give it a try…I am sure I will be weeded out at the interview process if I don’t have what it takes.
Thank you all again for taking the time to write such detailed responses, I appreciate it very much and I’ll let you know how I get on.
Well I am right there with you. The night before my current teaching job, I slept for 1 hour and when I woke up I had to hang the t-shirt I sleep in out to dry and change my bed.
I am not a very confident person and very shy and quiet by nature but this is the profession I have chosen and I will give it 100%. I take a deep breath and I try as best as possible not to let any nerves show. I find knowing a bit of the local (Thai) language helps me as it takes them aback as the foreigner is not supposed to talk to them in their language. I start with introductions and get them writing… In the few minutes it takes them to write, I take a drink and deep breaths and get cracking with the rest of the lesson.
I have a post ongoing and I’m upset at times by the lack of motivation from my students. I want to shake them and make them realise they do not have much of a future if they do not learn. I am retired and on a pension so I’m okay whatever they do.
Anyway I hope things are better for you now.
I’m in the same situation here. I’m wondering if I have enough confidence to do the CELTA course and if I’ll be a good teacher. I have got a job in Japan to teach kids, but I am not sure I’ll be great at it!
Also, does anyone know of any good ESL schools in Australia Adelaide apart from Navitas, ELC, ILSC, Kaplan, IELI, SACE etc?

Interview with Author Michelle McGriff
Your characters are unforgettable. Are they based on people that you know?
Not directly. I think they are mostly based on people I've met, such as, in passing, or people I've observed such as in the mall or on a bus. I like to ask myself What If....what is that person is a spy, a criminal, a psycho...what will they do when they leave this mall, get off this bus, etc...
Did you always plan to write professionally?
No, I've always written since being a teen, however, I thought I would have been a movie director. That was what I always wanted to be. I used to always want to yell out "CUT" especially when my real life got full of drama. HA! I used to want to be a professional entertainer (singer) like my father but decided against it after some health issues took my voice. Plus, I get stage freight.
2007 is a busy year for you. Please tell us about your 2007 releases.
First off there is Colored Summer, the story written in first person. It was a challenge as I normally write in omi-first. June, is another anthology with Dr. Maxine Thompson (No Pockets in a Shroud) and bestselling author Denise Campbell (Mankiller). My story in that set is DETOURED. July will bring another THRILLER, Deadly Tease...that story will take my readers to a side of Michelle McGriff they have never seen before (wink). And then a new book under a pen name that I'm going to try on the public before attempting to cross fully into that genre. I'll leave that secret there for a minute... secret.
What's one of your favorite pastimes, when you're not writing?
Dancing and virtual speed dating haha...Seriously, I enjoy listening to music and watching movies.

I just read the coolest piece of news I’ve seen in a long time: the Museum of Modern Art is acquiring video games for a new art display, connected to the department of architecture and design. Criteria like aesthetics, time, and the use of space is what determines which games are chosen to be included as artworks.
On MoMA’s Inside/Out blog this morning, senior curator Paola Antonelli wrote:
“Are video games art? They sure are, but they are also design, and a design approach is what we chose for this new foray into this universe. The games are selected as outstanding examples of interaction design… Our criteria, therefore, emphasize not only the visual quality and aesthetic experience of each game, but also the many other aspects–from the elgance of the code to the design of the player’s behavior–that pertain to interaction design… This acquisition allows the Museum to study, preserve, and exhibit video games as part of its Architecture and Design collection.”
You can read the whole thing here. I’m excited to see that Tetris, Portal, EVE: Online, and flOw have already been acquired, out of 14 so far! In all, the museum wants to collect 40 games, with the installation appearing next March. It will feature some demo-like videos of the games or, whenever possible, hands-on gaming right there in the museum. | <urn:uuid:92ee67d6-c83d-4f54-b00e-78fa21693f94> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://roboheartbeat.com/2012/11/29/moma-set-to-display-video-games-as-artworks/ | 2020-08-05T13:08:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735958.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805124104-20200805154104-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.946284 | 297 | [

Pipper’s Press Impresses!
National children’s book critics, teachers, parents, and kids are applauding the story, illustrations, characters and learning in Pipper’s Secret Ingredient in scintillating reviews.
“An educational tool that’s well-disguised as a compelling, fun read, excellent for kids interested in dogs, food and travel.”
“This is a keeper on the nightstand to read out loud to young children or have them read alone, especially at bedtime. With the fun canine friendships, unique places visited, the occasional foreign words, and clever blogging, any child will learn and enjoy its story of love being the most important ingredient.”
“This is the perfect book for children to learn more about places all over the world, blogging and using the Internet for research, and what is truly important to an individual. I’m telling you that kids will LOVE THIS BOOK! …You definitely don’t want to miss this!”
“I recommend Pipper’s Secret Ingredient for ages 8 and up. The layout is perfect for reluctant readers (especially of chapter books). The exciting adventuresand loyal friendships are sure to appeal.”
“Loved the brilliant illustrations and simple storyline!”
“… a delightful book of dog adventures…the artwork is amazing and the storyline easy to follow as well as fast paced.
“Pipper’s Secret Ingredient” is a riveting adventure for intermediate readers, with colorful illustrations by Neal Sharp spread throughout, highly recommended.
Let’s give this book: Five Golden Wonderbar Treats! Don’t forget to read her blog! The illustrations bring it all home for adults and kids.
Pipper’s Secret Ingredient is a wild ride! A clever array of characters engages readers, who will become immediately involved in the journey. Treks to places such as Egypt, Paris, and Katz’s Deli in New York, help Pipper while she searches for the perfect ingredient for the perfect treat. Children will find this story not only fun and “delicious,” but will have the chance to explore these exotic locales, sample their culinary delights, and become exposed to their varied cultures. It is rare to find a fictional children’s story that also incorporates such a “heaping portion” of non-fiction. The controlled vocabulary and the beautiful illustrations further enhance this imaginative tale.
Reading Specialist New York City Department of Education
As a classroom teacher and librarian for over 40 years, I am delighted with “Pipper’s Secret Ingredient.” It’s a refreshing read for youngsters 8+ in a market environment of violent video games and stories. Pipper’s adventures are fun and entertaining, and full of information on world geography, science and history. The book also features important life skills, the value of friendship, and a love for animals. I highly recommend “Pipper’s Secret Ingredient” to parents who want to excite their children’s imagination, and to educators and librarians who use literature to tap into a wealth of learning.
Retired educator Los Angeles Unified School District
Pipper travels the world looking for a secret ingredient for her biscuits. Along the way she meets many characters who help her find the secret ingredient. My favorite is Bumbles. He is funny how he tries to disguise himself. This is a great book! Funny! Creative! Everyone should read it!
Carly, Age 9, New York City
I loved the book and the secret ingredient!
Holliday, Age 7, New Jersey
Pipper goes to so many cool places and gets to taste so much interesting food. I want to go to those places too.
Cameron, Age 7
Both my children are avid readers…They immediately fell in love with the story and took the book with them everywhere they went because they couldn’t (and wouldn’t) put it down… both kids love the graphics and the story line. ..This is our new favorite book and will be our new favorite birthday gift for their friends.
Parent of 9 and 10 year olds, New Jersey
We loved reading Pipper together with our son in the evening.
Mike & Lisa, Atlanta, GA
All of a sudden my son is interested in history. Thanks, Pipper!
A.J., Tampa, FL
Not only funny for kids. There’s something for all ages.

Belly Area Waxing in Huntington Park, Los Angeles, California
Belly Area Waxing in Huntington Park removes all the hair strips from your waist down to the lower stomach around the belly button. As it is one of the more visible areas when you wear your bikini, you should pay a little more attention to it. Shaving your belly area is ineffective as the razor doesn’t properly remove unwanted hair strands completely. Using hair removal creams are not a very good idea because of the harsh chemicals in them which cause dry skin.
Waxing is the best way to have all the hair removed from the roots to have a smooth looking belly and skin feeling healthy. Dazzling Beauty Salon offers hygienic Belly Area waxing in Huntington Park for both Men and Women. In other words, with professionals, waxing is very quick and discomfort is minimal. Especially after the first wax, the hair growth is minimal and the hair that grows is very thin
Even if you have the thickest of hair in your belly area, the waxing process is done in a very efficient manner. Visit our store at 2550 E Slauson Ave Ste E Huntington Park, CA 90255 to meet and consult with the expert’s yourselves.
What is Belly Area Waxing Service?
Most of the people have belly hairs and the hair is a lot less spread in those areas compared to other body parts. So it is fairly easier and less painful, especially with professional help. Belly Area Waxing service includes putting the hot wax in the belly area to remove it all. With Belly Area Waxing in Los Angeles, we remove all of the hair from the front of your body below your waist .
Though it will be a fairly painful experience, you will be satisfied with the results. You will be treated with the utmost hospitality while visiting our salon located a few miles from Los Angeles. You will be assured that your service is dealt with the utmost care and the least pain possible.

At Dazzling Beauty Salon we use the complete range of professional quality waxing products for your Belly Area waxing in California. These products used from the beginning of the session to the end are all selected to match your skin type.
Our waxing services are mostly performed using honey wax which is a superior product. The wax can be applied at a lower temperature. This also helps remain flexible for a longer period of time. It is very easy to remove and is very gentle with the skin.
This wax catches each strand of hair and gives a soft and smooth skin. It also helps remove dead skin cells from the skin.
What should I do before an appointment?
1. Ensure your hair is grown between 1/2cm and 1cm long.
2. Exfoliate your skin before the day of the appointment. This will ensure that there is no excess oil in your hair. This opens up the pores properly which will make it easier to remove the ingrown hair from the hair follicles.

4. Avoid moisturizer in the area.

…I thought of the Waitomo Caves in New Zealand.
These photos come from Ruakuri Cave.
Photography is not permitted in the Glow Worm Cave.
None of the stalactites, stalagmite formations are the same
a stalagmite/stalactite is around 0.13 mm per year
(the fastest growth rate being 3 mm per year).
Therefore, at an average growth rate
these formations would increase
by approximately ONE centimetre
(half an inch) every century.
And while many appear to be similar…
…they are all unique.
In Ruakuri Cave photography is permitted.
While the glow worms are nowhere as prolific
as in the Glow Worm Cave there were some.
As to be expected a hand held camera
could only partly record the light.
As soon as we spoke of a New Zealand
North Island road trip…
Waitomo was first stop on our list. | <urn:uuid:68034283-1a30-4f58-b798-362a95dbc72a> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://woollymuses.wordpress.com/2019/06/24/lens-artist-pc-51-unique/ | 2020-08-08T21:24:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.936046 | 197 | [

Home staging is editing the contents of your home and removing some of your more personal touches. This process makes it more appealing to a wider range of buyers. Staging prepares your home for sale by optimizing the space and allowing the buyer to feel like they could already live in your home.
If you have a new home for sale and you would like it staged from the ground up, Align Your Space can offer a fully customized furnishings rental package to suit your needs. If you are preparing your home for sale while still living in it, we can help with the editing and sorting of your items to present your home to buyers in the best possible light. See the “Services” page for more details.
Meet us for a consultation! We will discuss editing personal possessions, removing extra furniture & accessories, possible painting or repair work if necessary. After receiving our recommendations, you can do as much or as little as you like. Our team will work within your budget to make your home more sellable, so you can move on with your life!
63% of buyers are willing to pay more for a house that is move-in ready. If you make sure your home is spotless, freshly painted and with everything in working order, it will mean less time on the market, and more money in your pocket!
Yes! Compared to the return on the sale of your home, staging is a very small investment that can potentially lead to multiple offers over asking price!
No! Most people can’t visualize how their furniture will fit into a room. Leaving it empty makes it difficult to see the flow from one room to another, and also makes it easier to focus on negative details that they otherwise wouldn’t see
It’s going to be the fist impression of your home the buyers get as they come to view your property. Maximize this opportunity and make the entry to your home an inviting one that leads your buyers into your gorgeous space! | <urn:uuid:0b7b4146-5406-488c-8815-f486f0fd494e> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://alignyourspace.com/faqs/ | 2020-08-10T11:11:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738674.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810102345-20200810132345-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.96697 | 400 | [

How can you and your organization deploy effective network security for containers? This question has become top of mind for network security teams as they sort through the complexities of traditional applications becoming increasingly containerized – and as they see cloud native applications rely on containers, serverless and platform as a service (PaaS) technologies. Last week’s general availability of the Palo Alto Networks CN-Series container firewall answers these concerns, based on a deep understanding of customer challenges with Kubernetes.
Consistent Security Remains a Big Kubernetes Security Concern
More and more organizations are discovering how Kubernetes and containers can be attractive options for application development. Containers can simplify development as they enable DevOps teams to move fast, deploy software efficiently and save compute resources.
Kubernetes plays a critical role in these environments by orchestrating application development in an automated way using containers. But network traffic across hosts and between container pods can also present opportunities for attackers. What’s more, containers frequently need to connect to mission-critical applications, which always need comprehensive network security.
The 2019 Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) survey indicates 78% of respondents are using Kubernetes in production – and security continues to be one of their key concerns. That overall concern was something I heard over and over from more than 50 customers I spoke with over the course of last year. They talked about their challenges in coming up with a consistent strategy for securing containers in public and private clouds.
In particular, customers were loud and clear about three primary container security challenges:
- DevOps teams deploying containers in infrastructure that network security teams are responsible for protecting – while having limited visibility into containers. This concern topped the list.
- Containers are increasingly being used with other workload types (such as virtual machines) and they need consistent network security to protect their workloads.
- Orchestrating security and firewalls with the rest of their containerized application stacks.
Network Security in Kubernetes Has Unique Requirements
Ensuring comprehensive security for Kubernetes starts with understanding how networking in Kubernetes works. Container Network Interface (CNI) is a CNCF project that defines a specification for allowing communication between containers. Kubernetes supports CNI plugins for the communication between pods. Firewalls need to be placed optimally in the network path so they can see the relevant traffic for inbound, outbound and east-west flows to and from the application pods, as seen below.
This is where Palo Alto Networks CN-Series firewalls come in and leverage the CNI chaining capabilities. It’s the industry’s first containerized NGFW, and has been built so it can protect containerized applications in most Kubernetes-based environments like AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE and Openshift.
CN-Series firewalls leverage deep container context to protect inbound, outbound and east-west traffic between container trust zones along with other components of enterprise IT environments. To keep pace with DevOps speed and agility, the CN-Series makes the most of native Kubernetes orchestration and is directly inserted into continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) processes.
Understanding the identity of each application is key here: CN-Series has been tailored to fit into Kubernetes network architecture in ways that enable app-id, threat inspection, DNS security, WildFire, URL filtering and other critical security services. Please refer to the CN-Series data sheet for a complete list of supported environments.
Security Should Follow Kubernetes Native Security Automation
One of the primary benefits of containers is their automation capabilities. Because CN-Series firewalls are themselves containerized, ensuring that security extends to containers becomes very easy and network security teams can better work with their DevOps counterparts to plan for firewall provisioning in Kubernetes environments.
For example, most Kubernetes experts use the command-line tool Kubectl directly. DevOps teams have also started using the Helm package manager extensively as it helps them define, install and upgrade complex Kubernetes
applications. Customers already familiar with Terraform software can also use it in conjunction with Helm if they use Terraform for the rest of their infrastructure as code (IaC templates). To ease lifecycle management of firewalls for our customers, Palo Alto Networks has published community-supported Helm Charts and Terraform templates.
In the cloud and containerized application space, selective traffic steering, which can be automated easily, is critical for ongoing operation and security. With CN-Series, application teams can indicate which apps need security with a single annotation in an app’s YAML files. Checks can be added in the CI/CD pipeline to make sure apps handling PCI data or that have other stringent network security requirements have NGFW security enabled. This allows for better coordination between DevOps and network security teams.
It’s All About Consistent Security Policies and Threat Prevention
Most large enterprises have applications running in different workload form factors (VMs, bare metal, containers and so on) on the network – and want the ability to apply consistent policies for applications, regardless of hosting workload type.
Our customers have built security policies for their existing firewalls and are excited about CN-Series allowing them to extend these policies to containerized workloads by leveraging labels from Kubernetes. Policies can be built using labels attached on namespaces, services, replicasets and pods. This means that policies don’t need to be updated when apps scale.
It’s important to understand that most containerized apps have known and unknown vulnerabilities, both of which can be exploited on the network. The rich set of threat prevention capabilities in CN-Series helps reduce needed resources, complexity and latency by automatically blocking known malware, vulnerability exploits and C2 traffic. We continue to add threat coverage for components of containerized infrastructure such as Kubernetes, Docker and Openshift, as well as for most containerized apps including Redis, MongoDB, WordPress and Nginx. Automation of policies can be accomplished using the integration of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR and PAN-OS, as seen below.
Palo Alto Networks strongly believes container adoption demands comprehensive protection all the way from scanning container registries in the CI/CD pipeline to network security in production deployments. We have built the most comprehensive suite of products in Prisma Cloud and in CN-Series firewalls to ensure security concerns do not remain a hindrance as you embark on the container adoption journey.

Even if you live in a small home like I currently do, with a few simple tricks you can make the space look so much bigger. As you will know if you’re a regular reader, I’m moving into a house soon. And since houses are so much bigger than flats, I’ve been thinking of ways that I can make everywhere look bigger and brighter without feeling ’empty’. Rooms that are light, airy and spacious are so much more inviting. So if you’ve found that your home is feeling a little claustrophobic here are a few things you could try.
Repaint the walls
This is a quick way to give a room a facelift. I’m hoping to be able to get away without doing this myself, but if you have inherited bright or dark colours from previous tenants, it can be a good option. Light colours will instantly open up a space, as opposed to darker shades that draw everything in and make it look darker. Neutrals are good but you could also go with a colour providing you pick it in the lightest shade possible. Lots of DIY type shops will mix you up custom shades if you can’t find exactly what you’re after. My current flat has a brown wall (think cheap hot chocolate powder) in the living room that makes the entire space look tiny and cramped even though our living room is quite big.
It goes without saying that the more stuff you have in a room, the more crowded and smaller it’s going to look. Declutter, and throw away anything you no longer need. For things you still want but don’t often use, find some good storage solutions. This saves you having to dig through things you don’t need all the time, and cluttering up your limited space. As the saying goes, have nothing in your home unless it’s functional or beautiful. Having a spacious and comfortable home is far more important than hanging on to useless clutter ‘just in case’! If it isn’t something you use or something that makes you happy, you don’t need it.
Let In Natural Light
This could be a matter of replacing the curtains you have up at your window. Anything that’s too thick or dark will shade the room too much and make it look dingy. Blinds are a good choice as you can control the light, and open them up fully when you want to flood the room with daylight. If you own your property, you could consider replacing the doors and windows. Solid doors could be replaced with glass models to let in a ton of light, and windows could be made bigger. If you have a single story extension, you could even look into having a skylight installed. You can find information about what this would involve, by looking at window and door companies such as Buckwin.
Adding accessories and personal touches are how you make a house into a home. But if you’re working with a smaller space, it’s important to find the balance. For example, rather than hanging lots of things on all of the walls which could look overcrowded, you could create one gallery wall. This keeps everything looking nice and coherent, but you still get a cool mismatch of styles. Rather than having lots of little things dotted around, you could group smaller things together on trays to make them look more organised. You’ll be seeing at least one post about this once I’ve moved because I can’t wait to create one myself. I’ve been collecting little frames for it since before I even knew we were going to move and I’m hoping that a few of my more artsy friends (I have two that are genuine artists and they are absolutely amazing) might be able to throw a print or two my way to go up on it. I think having art by friends will really make the space more special and homey to us, as well as showing some support to our friends and showing that we really actually do love their art, we’re not just saying that! One of my friends has an art page if you’d like to check it out!
Well, I think its time I stop rambling and get on with my day. I managed to wake up at 8AM today and intend to be at least somewhat productive with my time! | <urn:uuid:268ff5e8-f330-42ff-8d3e-650d8ef4e61c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://carryonbeautiful.com/2016/09/09/making-your-home-look-light-bright-and-airy/ | 2020-08-10T11:33:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738674.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810102345-20200810132345-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.963754 | 909 | [

WTF is Cuffing Season
Have you guys ever heard of cuffing season?
The academically credible and reliable source, Urban Dictionary defines Cuffing Season as the time: “During the Fall and Winter months people who would normally rather be single find themselves along with the rest of the world desiring to be “cuffed” or tied down.”
It usually spans from the time sweater weather first hits, through the holidays when all of your relatives are asking if you’ve found a S.O, ending around Valentine’s Day. These aren’t serious relationships either- a cuffing season relationship is understood to be temporary. It starts with kind of an unsaid expiration date.
Long ago was ‘hot girl summer’ where you were frolicking around in a bikini on a beach or by the pool flirting with any guy who would stand still long enough … we’re now getting deep into ‘cozy girl fall’ where everyone wants a teddy-bear sweater and to cuddle on the couch watching Disney+ with their boo. Or, I mean, that’s what it looks like on Instagram at least, I cannot confirm. 😉
So a few weeks ago, Jane and I had a conversation about cuffing season and she suggested I write about it, so I started to do some research.
Every article that I’ve found that talked about cuffing season (save one hilarious Man Repeller article) was so serious. They all had accompanying tips to help ’get cuffed.’ Things like stepping up your flirting game, going out of your comfort zone, hitting up ‘old flames.’ It all sounded kind of ridiculous.
Side note: do not hit up an ‘old flame’ that fire went out for a reason let it go.
Surviving Cuffing Season Picks
Don’t get me wrong, I get the appeal of boo-ing up for cuffing season. It’s cold outside you want some rom-com moment holding hands at an ice-rink or having a date to bring to your office Christmas party- but jeez!
First of all, don’t settle. Being single during the holidays might be lonely, and a little depressing… and sure you have to watch all the cute couples kissing under the mistletoe and hate-like all the cute photos on Instagram and… wait I forgot where I was going with that…
Oh, right: don’t settle. Do you like them or is it just cold outside?
So, single girls and guys beware of cuffing season.
Or celebrate it- you do you! At the end of the day, you’re worth so much more than a relationship with an expiration date. | <urn:uuid:fdfa2214-7b80-415d-a106-d95d04a544c4> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://thechrisellefactor.com/2019/11/wtf-is-cuffing-season/ | 2020-08-14T02:32:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739134.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814011517-20200814041517-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.952543 | 594 | [

Fuck the fuck off with your scrawny-ass store on our street. We get that the gentrification is already locked in, but it was hard enough as a community to lose the mercado & carniceria that used to be where you are, let alone watch the vibrancy & architectural detail of that building disappear under a whitewash of charcoal spray paint to make room for your basic-as-a-Vogue-pattern bridal shop. We're aware that our shit has "trended" & is a "destination", & we're actually more or less OK with that. What we don't need is an out-of-town based "boutique" that doesn't grok the neighborhood; we have enough local ones that are nearly as bad. At least the brassiere shop fills a niche by catering to a variety of shapes. Your target audience are the idiots (whom we abhor, though they'll never know it because we take their money with generous smiles) that still lock their car doors when they come here for brunch demanding vegan, gluten free options & then call the cops on panhandlers of color (exclusively). Either create a window display that demonstrates your commitment to serving Portlanders of all shapes, sizes, & colors, or fuck off to a place that is predominately privileged. I hear Lake Oswego is nice this time of Presidency. You don't look like you're interested in the sort of clientele that relies on Trimet, anyway.

Knee pain is very common and usually goes away on its own after the cause activity is found and stopped knee specialist los angeles. The most important thing to do is find the cause before calling knee specialist los angeles, especially if activities such as brisk walking or jogging have just begun. Knee pain at a young age is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and a lack of nutrition for bones and joints. Pain is a feeling that arises due to damaged tissue in a part of the body. Generally, arthritis is experienced by many elderly groups who begin to experience the aging process. But knee pain also often strikes individuals with high activity levels, such as athletes or people who put a lot of strain on their knees.
Pain in the knee is called osteoarthritis, this type of disease is a disturbance of the balance of cartilage metabolism with structural damage. Cartilage or commonly called joint cartilage is a network consisting of cells and fibers that cover the matrix in the knee. Meanwhile, osteoarthritis most often occurs due to sustaining excess weight. Other causes of pain in the knee are caused by the release of chemical mediators called kinin and prostaglandins that cause arthritis, stretching of tendons or ligaments and spasms of extra-articular muscles due to excessive work. Especially for a productive age, pain in the knee will be very disturbing and hinder various activities.
There are several reasons why knee pain occurs at a young age such as doing heavy activities. Young age is indeed a productive period where doing heavy activities such as climbing stairs, running or lifting weights. These strenuous activities can make knee pain at a young age appear if done for a long period. Sports is also the cause of knee pain at a young age is exercise. This activity is the most common among teenagers with the aim of training muscles, joints, and burning fat. However, if done excessively or not balanced with adequate rest, it will change the goals of the sport itself. Some people who are overweight, especially teenagers, will prone to knee pain. When the knee continues to be forced to hold the existing weight, then the risk of paralysis in the joints. | <urn:uuid:42c3c4df-5cf3-4466-912b-77cc6d523b03> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.doortofantasia.com/tag/orkin-cost/ | 2020-08-04T05:37:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735860.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804043709-20200804073709-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.963193 | 435 | [

Rochester, NY – There is a good chance that pro sports might be played in stadiums without fans this year which would be a huge transition for most athletes used to the crowd noise.
This will however not be that big of a switch for the Rochester Americans who are used to playing to lots of empty seats. That’s why the NFL, NHL, and NBA have reached out to the Amerks to counsel their professional athletes on how to make the transition to empty crowds.
“One of the first lessons I will tell them is to tune down celebrations,” said one anonymous Amerks player. “There’s nothing more heartbreaking than doing a sick sliding guitar solo with your hockey stick only to look up and see no one giving a single f***.” | <urn:uuid:b7b0a4db-2434-4d70-a2ba-c9bdbfa5b797> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://innerloopblog.com/2020/04/27/rochester-americans-volunteer-to-help-pro-athletes-get-used-to-playing-in-empty-stadiums/ | 2020-08-07T10:05:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737172.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807083754-20200807113754-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.964811 | 161 | [

Tell us a bit about yourself – what was your PhD about and where did you study?Hi there! I’m Joe, and I finished my PhD and did my viva just over a year ago now. Phew! Technically I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sheffield, but I actually started off at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. In my second year, my groupmate Eleni and I moved university and city with our supervisor when he was offered a position there. I remember a long day of me and my supervisor driving a van across the country and back to transfer all of our lab equipment! When I wasn’t acting as group co-chauffeur, I researched sustainable and scalable nanomaterials synthesis methods. The aim was to find recipes for large-scale manufacture of porous silica nanomaterials. So many cool new materials which could solve global issues are being invented every day, but without manufacturing-friendly methods they end up stuck in research labs!
What do you do now? What did you decide to do next after gaining your PhD?Since my PhD, I’ve decided to stay in academia but switch tack a little bit. Instead of doing laboratory experiments, I’m now doing a postdoc studying molecular simulations on nanomaterials at the University of Bath. I wanted to experience how university research is in a different group and also a different field – while I really loved the freedom and creativity I was able to get in the PhD day-to-day, sometimes I found the pressure a bit hard to deal with. Doing this postdoc has helped me to see that it’s possible to work in academia in a more relaxed and sustainable way, which is very encouraging for me.
Has having a PhD helped in developing your career? If yes, what has been the biggest impact? If no, why do you think that is?Absolutely, yes. Aside from being a requirement for me to stay in academic research, I think the biggest thing the PhD has helped me to do is to develop my critical thinking and problem-solving skills. From designing experiments I used within my research, to every day troubleshooting in the lab, my PhD has taught me some invaluable research which have helped an awful lot in my current position. On top of that, my PhD gave me a variety of really cool experiences too! For example, I was able to meet and work with several industrial silica manufacturers and learn how they approach adopting new technologies. Also, I got to see a bit of the management side of academia while setting up my supervisor’s new lab as well as some departmental equipment in Sheffield. Finally, I was able to travel as part of my research – I won funding from the Royal Society of Chemistry to visit a collaborator in Colorado for 3 months. I was able to learn some new techniques, explore the Rocky Mountains, and make new friends to boot! Combined, these have been some great personal and professional experiences, which I’m sure will be useful for years to come.
What’s one piece of advice that you’d offer prospective students considering a PhD?Getting to know your potential supervisor is a really important part of deciding to do a doctorate. A PhD is a weird mix of a job and a degree, and you’ll end up with a much closer working relationship with your supervisor than you likely will get in either of those two alternatives. Accordingly, it’s important to have a good idea that you’ll be able to work with this person for a few years before getting started. Another important part of a PhD is setting your own boundaries and targets for your research. The academic environment isn’t always the best at setting boundaries for how much work to expect from you, and will tend to keep expecting more and more until you yourself decide it’s enough. Some of my most successful former colleagues treated their PhDs as a 9-to-5 job, only staying outside of those hours in extreme circumstances, and it worked our really well for them and their project.
And what one thing would you suggest that new PhD graduates should do next?Celebrate! While working in research it can be very easy to focus more on what’s still to be done than what’s been achieved, so it’s very important to take bit of time to stop and appreciate it before progressing onto the next big thing. You just finished a huge, multi-year project after all! This is doubly important if, like me, you were very stressed out during thesis writing and are feeling a bit burned out. Taking a few weeks if you’re able, to relax and recharge, will be very helpful for getting back to a normal routine.
Lastly, what’s your favourite memory from your time as a PhD student?For me the social parts of the PhD were always my favourite. I love going to conferences and talking to other PhD students about their research, learning about the diverse conceptual problems we’re all trying to solve and the similar day-to-day tasks these often divide down into. One particular memory was going to a conference at the University of York, where they organised a ceilidh (a traditional Scottish folk dance) for all of the participants one evening. This was essentially the perfect icebreaker – getting everyone to step out of their comfort zones for an hour or two and socialise with strangers. It really set the tone for the remainder of the week!

2018 Petit Verdot
Originating from France in a region beginning with B and ending in x (which, due to labelling laws we are not allowed to name!) Petit Verdot is a late ripening variety that suits Australia’s dry, sunny climate perfectly. Although it has long been used as a blending component, it is increasingly being given the chance show its true colours as a varietal wine.
We source our Petit Verdot from the Hilltops region of NSW. The vineyard is warm enough to allow the variety to ripen, yet cool enough to maintain the intense yet delicate aromas of this beautiful variety.
In 2018 the Petit Verdot grapes were crushed to stainless steel vats. The must was then pumped over the fruit four times a day to maximise colour extraction. After 6 days on skins the wine was pressed off with 50% matured in two and three year old barriques. Each barrel is carefully assessed before inclusion in the final blend.
The beauty of this wine is in the perfumed lift of spice and violets overlaying the subtle tobacco characters on the palate. Oak maturation has imparted a little extra complexity and structure making the palate supple with fine lingering tannins. | <urn:uuid:d91db29d-4dec-47aa-9006-9e050eba126b> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.thelittlewinecompany.com.au/product/2018-Petit-Verdot | 2020-08-07T08:48:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737172.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807083754-20200807113754-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.943225 | 254 | [

My house is on the mountain, near the beach and the Mount Teide
“My partner and I spent a week on this dreamy farm in the mountains. At Jacqueline we truly had the most wonderful stay we have ever booked. I totally took her and her dog pack into my heart and felt at home so that I didn't have to miss my own dog so much. Every morning there was a rich breakfast in Jacqueline's artistic kitchen, she gave us good tips for trips and really looked after us, the accommodation was clean and everything you needed was available, bus connection and location are excellent if you are not in the tourist places wants to live and loves nature.

We were very doubtful about where to establish our residence, if by the Atlantic swells or rather by the coniferous forest on the skirts of Teide. Being fanatics of nature and sports, no matter if it's trekking, cycling, paragliding, golf or windsurfing we decided we would rather stick to the middle road, and in our search we bumped into San Miguel, a charming small town, away from the hustle and off the beaten track, still all amenities a short walk away. We surely found the perfect balance.

Pre and Post Workout Nutrition
If there is one topic that will get me super excited, it’s the subject of nutrition and real, whole food! Today, I want continue to spread my love of real food and allow it to crossover into my love of fitness with the topic of pre and post-workout nutrition.
For starters, why do we need to eat pre and post workout?
Firstly, eating before a bout of intense exercise helps prime our muscles to push through our tough workout.
Secondly, eating after exercise helps replenish and refuel our depleted muscles and cells. Without the proper nutrition after a workout, we leave our body in a depleted state, which may lead to longer recovery times. In addition, our body may start to break down after several months of improper nutrition after exercise. We may start to notice that our energy is lower and our progress is plateauing as a result. We don't want that, now do we??
Notice that I pointed out the importance of a pre-workout snack before an intense workout. What about a lower to moderately intense workout? Is a pre-workout still necessary?
The answer to that is: it depends. If you are finding that you are getting halfway through your workouts and have no energy left, maybe a small bite of something as a pre-workout may help. Or if you are finding that eating a pre-workout snack is leaving you feeling full and uncomfortable, skip it! Unless you are a serious, intensely training athlete, a pre-workout isn't always necessary.
Now, on the other hand, I do believe that a post-workout snack or meal is critical after most exercise, especially intense bouts of strength training and/or cardio. You must must must refuel those muscles if you want to continue to see progress towards your fitness goals!
However, if you aren’t working at a super high intensity, the size of the post-workout snack will vary greatly. Working out intensely? Bump up that snack! Working out just for pleasure? Keep that snack very small. Simple.
Okay, so now we know why and in what situations pre and post-workout snacks are needed, but when should we eat? And what should we be eating??
No worries; I have all the answers for you, plus real food examples!
For starters, I recommend eating your pre-workout snack (if you have decided that you need one) about 30-90 minutes before your workout. This allows your body to digest and get that energy ready to be used!
The perfect pre-workout snack contains a mix of healthy fat and protein. Need some examples? Don’t worry, I have you covered:
Pre-Workout Real Food Examples
Fat: avocado, olives, coconut oil, almond butter
Protein: chicken, seafood, lean meat, eggs (which are perfect, because they contain a nice balance of fat and protein!! A win-win situation)
On the other hand, post-workout fuel should be consumed within 30-60 minutes after exercise has ceased. You don’t want to eat too soon, as your body may not be out of its sympathetic state yet (which is the state our body enters when we exercise) and into the parasympathetic state (which our body enters when we are calm, relaxed, and ready to eat). But, you also don’t want to wait too long to give those muscles what they desperately need!
What a perfect transition: what do our muscles need post-workout anyway?
The short answer? Protein and carbs! After working out, it is essential that your get an approximate 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein. The protein helps rebuild your muscles after they’ve been broken down because it contains amino acids, and the carbohydrates help replenish your depleted glycogen storage (stored energy). Also, try to keep the post-workout snack as low in fat as possible, as fat slows digestion, which is awesome, but just not after exercise. We want to get fuel to our muscles as quickly as possible, which is where carbs and protein come in! Don't worry, you can eat healthy fat all other times of the day!
Now, like I mentioned above, the size of this snack or meal will vary depending on your exercise intensity. Keep that in mind as you look at my real food examples:
Post-Workout Real Food Examples
Carbs: sweet potatoes, red potatoes, white potatoes, plantains, bananas (side note: fruit isn’t the ideal post-workout carb source because it is high in fructose, but will do if that’s what you prefer!)
Protein: chicken, seafood, lean meat, egg whites (save those yolks for later!)
My final thoughts – listen to your body. The more you train and the harder you train, the more important pre-and post-workout nutrition become! Don’t try to make it more complicated than it needs to be; consume a mix of protein and fat pre-workout and a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein post-workout.
And, if you take just one thing away from this post, please please please remember that it is essential to refuel your body after working out! You can’t expect to run your body to the ground after a tough workout and then not refuel it or fuel it with crap (aka sugar and junk food and fake protein supplements).
Think about it: you wouldn’t refuel your car with diesel when your tank is empty, right? You would fuel it with the fuel it’s meant to use! The same holds true with your body: fuel it right, and it will thank you for it!

A couple of weeks ago I secured work with a client who I’d had in my pipeline for over a year. Not a huge sale, but it was a win nonetheless.
I pride myself on not denigrating my opposition in my sales process, never have, never will. Not only is it my personal code of ethics, but more to the point, most of the time the “work” that they’ve done is the best they could do and they’re simply not intelligent enough to take it to the next level.
Anyway, I employed a Google Ads management strategy with this new client that I expected would take a little while, 6-8 weeks in my estimation, to come to fruition. I made some minor adjustments at the end of last week, but was happy with how things seemed to be travelling in the first week it was running.
This morning the client’s Marketing Manager sent me an email from the account manager of the previous company that was managing their advertising. In this email the person flat out lied, attempted to manipulate, and ultimately showed a fundamental misunderstanding of the system that they had been working on for years.
This person tried leveraging his long term partnership with the client, which included the knowledge that the Managing Director had relied and trusted in him to do the right thing, and use that to scare him.
Normally I wouldn’t care, but this was aggressive, calling my work out for wasting the client’s money and that they were concerned for the future of the company because I was apparently damaging it beyond repair.
The funny thing is that I hadn’t even looked at the results at this point in time, it’s not really on my radar in the first two weeks. That seems odd, but the results are all being tracked and my strategy is sound.
This email got me to check the results.
The fundamental misunderstanding of this person was that no right-minded business owner cares about how many people visit their website. They want to know what is resulting in enquiries/sales. That’s my focus. Clearly it isn’t the previous company’s focus.
Considering that in that short space of time that I’ve been working on the account, I have TRIPLED the amount of enquiries and reduced the Cost Per Acquisition of those leads from $160+ down to about $50, making me a very happy man and identifying early on to the client that I am worth my weight in gold (and am humble about it too).
So not only do I get to write a nice little blog about how effective I am, and let’s face it, if you know me you know I like talking about my successes, but I also get to rub it in this unscrupulous characters face when he sees this blog being advertised whenever someone Googles his name and business.
Congratulations, you played yourself. | <urn:uuid:3a0247d9-c325-46e7-91bc-acf3e9313908> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.mttr.com.au/blog/congratulations-you-played-yourself/ | 2020-08-11T00:54:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738723.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810235513-20200811025513-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.979841 | 603 | [

Thermoelectric infrared sensors
There are endless applications for infrared sensors and arrays (cameras), examples such as obstacle detection, night vision, circuit debugging, preventative maintenance, industrial diagnosis, and medical surgery are just a few of the current uses.
In the past, IR cameras have been quite expensive and bulky, but new microfabrication technology and advancement in the materials is constantly reducing the cost which is why in just the past few years passive IR sensors have become available to the average consumer and light industry.
There are two main types of infrared sensors: photon and thermal. In our lab, we study thermal specifically, which involves radiant heating of a part of the sensor as a means of detecting IR light. Since mid range IR (thermal IR) light can radiantly heat objects easily, uncooled sensors are often designed to have an IR absorber and sensor element that is thermally isolated from its surroundings and support in an effort to provide maximum temperature change upon absorbing IR light. This heat change or difference is then transduced to electricity in one of three ways; by changing of resistance in a conductor as in a thermistor, by direct energy conversion as in a thermocouple, or by spontaneous polarization phenomenon (pyroelectric effect) which happens when a pyroelectric material experiences a change in temperature.
In our lab we are trying to come up with new materials and fabrication processes to enhance the performance of passive IR sensors while at the same time trying to reduce the manufacturing cost in an effort to keep the sensor design practical.
The whole idea in any uncooled infrared detector is to have a good thermal isolation between the absorber and the substrate.
However, when we make the thermoelectric wires very long and thin, we also lower the natural resonance frequencies of the structure. This might be a problem if these resonance modes have frequencies close to the detector working bandwidth. Why? because silicon is a piezo-resistive material. When the detector starts resonating, it will generate undesired signals in the output. If these unwanted signals cannot be filtered out, then we are in serious problem.
This simulation shows the lowest resonace frequency of an uncooled thermoelectrc infrared detector.
This MATLAB code calculates the complex refractive index of a substrate. This code is written to find these values from the measured reflection and transmission spectra (at normal incident angle, but it can be modified for an oblique angle) using a FTIR system. The knowledge of the substrate thickness is required. A starting point is also required .
Contact us if you have any question.
This code calculates the complex refractive index of a thin film deposited on a transparent substrate. The assumption here is coherent reflection in the thin film and incoherent propagation in the substrate. The IR reflection and transmission spectra are required. Thin film, and substrate thickness along with the n,k info for the substrate are requried. The n, k data for the substrate can be calculated using the above code.
This code calculates reflection, transmission and absorption spectra through a multilayer thin film stack. If the films are deposited on a substrate, the effect of incoherent transmission through the substrate can be simply taken into account. If there is no substrate, the required spectra can be still calculated. There is no limit on the number of the layers that can be added. Even metal films can be included in the simulation (This is actually what we did, we were investigating the effect of metallic thin films in the absorption of IR radiation).
More info (a good source book for this kind of stuff) is inside the main file.

TrueView for shopping campaigns make video ads interactive by connecting viewers directly to your products and providing information that brings customers closer to making a purchase.
These ads use your existing Merchant Center product data to generate shopping cards, and up to 6 shopping cards may appear on a video ad at a time. You can filter your inventory or select specific products to limit which products can show with your video ads.
In this article, we'll walk you through how to set up a TrueView for shopping campaign in Google Ads.
Before you begin
Before you set up a TrueView for shopping campaign, first link your Google Ads account to your Google Merchant Center account. You should also be familiar with TrueView in-stream ads.
TrueView for shopping can run on in-stream ads in countries where Google Merchant Center is available.
Here are step-by-step instructions for creating TrueView for shopping campaigns:
Create a TrueView campaign for shopping
- Sign in to your Google Ads account.
- In the page menu along the left, click All campaigns.
- Click the plus button , then select New campaign.
- Select the Product & brand consideration goal.
- If this step doesn’t reflect what you’re seeing in your account, select a campaign type first then select a goal. Learn more about goals in the new Google Ads experience.
- Select the Video campaign type.
- Choose the Shopping campaign subtype, then select the linked Merchant Center account for the products you want to use in this campaign.
- Click Continue.
- Enter a name for your campaign.
- If you want the shopping cards to use all products in the linked Merchant Center account, leave the "Product Filter" setting to the default option, "None - use all products."
- If you want to choose a subset of products to advertise in your campaign, select Choose specific products to search for individual products from your Merchant Center account. Learn more about how to "Choose specific products."
- Set your daily budget, then choose your location and language targeting. Note: “YouTube videos” will automatically be selected in “Networks.”
- Enter a name for your ad group, then set an ad group bid.
- Edit the targeting methods you want to use for your ad.
- Next to “Your YouTube video,” choose a YouTube video for your ad. Note: “In-stream ad” will automatically be selected for the ad format.
- Enter the required information to create your ad. Note: You can always save your ad group without creating an ad.
- Click Save and continue.
If you have specific products in mind from your Merchant Center account that you’d like to use in your campaign, select the Choose specific products option. You can then search for products by title, by item ID, or by the URL of the item in your online store that was uploaded to Merchant Center.
You can even select items that are out of stock, however they won’t show until they’re back in stock -- so there’s no need to adjust your campaign as products go in and out of stock.
When using the “Choose specific products” option, you can view more information about the products in your search results by clicking on “Details.” You’ll see details for your items, which are versions of the product in each country where it’s available. The “status” column shows if an item is ready to serve for each country.
Note: You may see a yellow icon next to the word “Details” for some products. This icon appears when a product is “Not approved” or “Out of stock” in any country where it’s available. If your campaign targets a specific country, it can run as long as there’s at least one item that’s “Ready to serve” in that country.
Here are the statuses that can appear:
Ready to serve: The item is approved and eligible to run on shopping cards on your video ad.
Not approved: The item is disapproved in your Merchant Center account. You can check the status in Merchant Center to understand why the item is disapproved. Automated systems identify items that violate our policies and the Products Feed Specification. If you use the item in your campaign anyway, we’ll request an additional manual review, which takes 1 to 3 business days. Note that an item can only be manually reviewed once.
Out of stock: The item is out of stock. You provide an item’s availability using the “availability” attribute in your product data. If the availability is set to “out of stock” for a country, the item won't serve in that country. You can still select it for your campaign, and it will start appearing when it becomes available again.
Before you begin
You'll need to have access to your product data in Merchant Center and be willing to add custom label attributes to your products.
Changes in the new Google Ads Experience
The new Google Ads experience simplifies the process of creating custom filters in TrueView for Shopping campaigns by removing multiple dimensions used for selecting products and replacing them with only one flexible dimension. The dimensions: Brand, Product Type, Google Ads Label and ads grouping are no longer available. They have been replaced with the more flexible Custom Labels. Note that these labels are different from Google Ads label dimensions accessible before.
Using the new Custom Filters in Google Ads will make the product filter uneditable in the previous AdWords experience.
Using custom labels
You can have up to five custom labels in your product data, numbered 0 through 4. Choose a custom label and assign a unique name to each of the products that you want to use together in a TrueView for Shopping campaign inside Google Merchant Center.
Once you've set up custom labels in your product data, you can use their values to select the products that you want your Google Ads campaign to use.
If the products you want to advertise do not use ‘Custom label 2’ already, you can update them in Google Merchant Center and set their ‘Custom label 2’ attribute to the value you choose, e.g. ‘TrueViewProductList’.
You can then add the custom filter to your campaigns in the new Google Ads experience in the Product Filter panel during campaign creation or by going to Campaign > Settings.
Select the label you want to use (‘Custom label 2’) and set the value of this attribute (‘TrueViewProductList’). | <urn:uuid:48d44e4e-e3a7-44b3-9266-6cb9235d7429> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6303978?hl=en&ref_topic=3119118 | 2020-08-12T16:30:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738905.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812141756-20200812171756-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.893569 | 1,378 | [

We are about to begin round two of our garden for 2015. We’ve had a break where we’re not bringing in much harvest and it’s been nice. But I just sowed a whole bunch of fall seeds so we’ll be having more to harvest soon. This week our theme for National Organic Harvest Month is sharing the harvest. There are so many great ways to share the garden harvest with friends, neighbors and even strangers.
Offer your extra produce to guests when they visit. I love sending visitors home with some fruits or veggies when I have extra. Just be sure that you aren’t forcing it on them.
Take your extra goodies to church or work. There are many gardeners in our church and they will often bring their extras and bless others with them. But if you do this, be sure to take home whatever others don’t take. You don’t want to leave a “mess” for others to clean up. That really isn’t a blessing.
Preserve some of the extra and give it as gifts. Each year we give jam to our children’s Awana leaders and all the families at co-op. Many people don’t feel comfortable preserving food but love to get it as gifts.
Donate the extras to your local food bank. Some food banks won’t take perishable items, which is a shame, so do your research before taking a load over. If you don’t know if there are any food banks in your area, check out Ample Harvest to find out.
Call your local nursing homes and ask if they would like some fresh produce. They normally have meals planned out weeks in advance but I know some who would love to be able to squeeze some fresh vegetables or fruit into the plan.
Don’t forget your local homeless shelters or women’s shelters. Many times these places are underfunded and do not have access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, because they are very transient places, it is hard to for those running the food service to justify purchasing fresh produce because they may have 20 residents one day but only 10 a few days later and so they just stick with non perishable food.
Start a FREE produce stand in your yard. People put free stuff out on the curb all the time, why not put your extra produce out on a table and bless your neighbors. It might take them a while to get used to it but I’m sure they will appreciate your generosity. Who knows how your neighborhood will change because of it.
Do a little bartering. Sharing doesn’t always have to be one way. I’ve traded produce for many cool things, like comfrey rootstock, homemade balms and lotions and dried medical herbs. You have to be open and willing to ask. We’re hoping to one day have our fruit trees producing well enough that we can barter for our meat.
Send a care package to a friend. Depending on the produce you might just be able to send the fresh produce but you might have to preserve it first. My mother in law has fun memories of sending boxes of permissions “back to the folks” when she and my father in law were stationed in California. This spring a dear friend sent our family some stewed rhubarb because we had never tasted rhubarb. It’s a common thing in her neck of the woods and a rarity in mind. My family loved it and we’ve had to put limits on how much one person can eat when we open a jar. This was such a treat for our family.
Use your extras to teach other. It’s really important that we pass our skills and knowledge onto others and when we have extra produce is a great time to do it. You can get some help in the kitchen canning, freezing and dehydrating and the others can learn a new skill. But preserving skills aren’t the only thing that we can teach. When we have a bounty and share it, people get to taste the difference between store bought produce and really fresh produce. Hopefully, that will be part of their journey to being growing some of their own food and sharing with others.
September is National Organic Harvest Month and to help you make the most of your harvests, I’ve teamed up with these other amazing bloggers. Please be sure to check out their tips and more: Rachel from Grow a Good Life – Kathie from Homespun Seasonal Living – Teri from Homestead Honey – Chris from Joybilee Farm – Susan from Learning and Yearning – Shelle from Preparedness Mama – Janet from Timber Creek Farm

As a clinician, I can tell you that it is amazing to have a tool like EMDR to use with patient’s. EMDR allows
the person to heal themselves. Our brains are incredible processors of information. They scan and pick
up things happening around us that we are not even conscious of. When trauma, or adverse life
situations happen, they get overloaded and those memories get stored dysfunctionally. EMDR allows
the brain to process through those memories and feelings so that they can be just memories and not
visceral reminders of our pain.
Here's a link to the EMDRIA website with a video explaining EMDR.
I guide my patients on every step of the process and implement various methods that help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. Schedule an appointment today and see what I can do for you. | <urn:uuid:b14b53c9-cee0-47aa-9c9f-d1844ba5cdce> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.myharmonytherapy.com/trauma-resolution | 2020-08-04T08:18:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735867.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804073038-20200804103038-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.93879 | 180 | [

Cloud Use Surges Even as Businesses Plan Return to the Workplace, Finds New Snow Software Survey
More than 90% of IT leaders indicate the current climate is forcing them to change their cloud strategy
Stockholm and Austin, Texas – June 16, 2020 – In the wake of COVID-19, enabling remote work has required IT teams to rapidly lean into cloud technologies to keep their businesses operating smoothly. A new survey suggests that cloud usage continues to rise, and what was a sudden shift will become a permanent pivot for most organizations. Despite many countries planning for a return to physical offices and workspaces, 60% of IT leaders are continuing to increase their overall cloud usage and 91% are changing their cloud strategy as a result of the current economic climate. The study, conducted by Snow Software, the global leader in technology intelligence solutions, surveyed 250 IT leaders around the world to find out how cloud usage and investment decisions have evolved during the crisis.
Overall, 82% of those surveyed said they have increased their cloud usage over the past several weeks in response to the pandemic. The majority of respondents – 60% – said their cloud usage continues to increase, indicating that cloud consumption patterns are still in flux even after the initial surge in remote work. Additionally, 66% reported that they will continue to use the cloud services and applications they implemented during the crisis once employees return to the workplace. Surprisingly, only 22% reported they saw an initial increase in cloud usage but that it had leveled off.
While Zoom and Teams dominated the headlines, cloud infrastructure was actually the biggest driver of this increase. When asked about how their company’s use of cloud services and applications changed in response to the current crisis, 76% said they have increased their use of cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and even private cloud. More than half of respondents (55%) noted an increase in collaboration tools like Slack, Teams or Google Chat, while 52% of those surveyed indicated an increase in cloud-based video conferencing software like Zoom, Cisco WebEx or GoToMeeting. While many companies may have already relied on these productivity services ahead of the crisis, the surge in cloud infrastructure represents a more fundamental shift in how organizations operate.
Overall, these trends hint at a larger change in enterprise cloud strategy. As IT leaders face the concurrent challenges of continuing to support remote work, enabling a return to the workplace and tightening budgets, 91% said they are altering their cloud strategy. Twice as many say they are accelerating cloud migration (45%) and digital transformation (41%) versus putting those initiatives on hold (22% and 21% respectively). However, while usage and investment in cloud technologies continue to increase, a third of respondents indicated that they are getting creative with their budget – 32% of respondents are asking their cloud vendors for extended payment terms and 31% are renegotiating their cloud contracts. Around 10% of respondents indicated that they would not be able to pay their cloud bills this month.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has turned cloud into an essential service for many organizations, while also highlighting the complexities of managing cloud cost and usage,” said Jay Litkey, EVP of Cloud Management at Snow. “This survey confirms what we are hearing from our customers – that while many CIOs are being asked to trim costs, there will be continued investment in technology that presents the opportunity for long-term growth and stability. To weather the storm, IT leaders must take a comprehensive approach to managing cloud, uncovering opportunities to streamline costs while continuing to provide the infrastructure needed to support their workforce and drive innovation.”
Additional key findings include:
- 82% of IT leaders surveyed said they have noticed positive changes in employees' attitudes towards IT since the pandemic started.
- 47% of respondents said they will feel comfortable returning to a physical office once their company outlines a clear plan that ensures the safety of employees. However, 43% would like their company to offer work from home options even after reopening.
- When asked about which applications – beyond core IT software – that have been lifesavers, respondents said video conferencing apps like Zoom, Cisco WebEx and GoToMeeting (73%) and communication apps like Slack, Teams and Google Chat (65%).

Netflix orders live-action Cowboy Bebop TV series
Cowboy Bebop is coming to Netflix as an all-new live-action TV series.
The streaming service has greenlit a show based on the original 1998 Japanese animated series.
A live-action version was previously reported last summer as in development, but without a distributor or series order.
Here’s the official description: “Based on the worldwide phenomenon from Sunrise Inc., Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Radical Ed: a ragtag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. They’ll even save the world… for the right price.”
Netflix has committed to a 10-episode first season. There’s an impressive lineup of showrunners on board: Andre Nemec and Josh Appelbaum (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), along with Jeff Pinkner (Fringe) and Scott Rosenberg (Knightfall). Christopher Yost (Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok) will write the first episode.
Here’s the trailer for the original series, which was set in the year 2071, about 50 years after an accident made Earth almost uninhabitable. Humanity has colonized most planets in the solar system, and the Inter Solar System Police register bounty hunters (dubbed Cowboys) to chase criminals.
Cowboy Bebop previously inspired an animated feature film, 2001’s Cowboy Bebop: The Movie.
Here’s Netflix’s announcement gif:
Shinichiro Watanabe — director of the original anime — will serve as a consultant on the new series, and executive producers include Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios, Yasuo Miyakawa, Masayuki Ozaki, Shin Sasaki, Tetsu Fujimura, and Matthew Weinberg. | <urn:uuid:c151f725-b71e-4ecc-8fec-a445e7e89b80> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://ew.com/tv/2018/11/28/cowboy-bebop-netflix/ | 2020-08-11T07:29:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738735.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811055449-20200811085449-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.892832 | 409 | [

This year has gone by so quick , I started it in a very different place than I am right now. I haven’t blogged for quite a while because life has been really busy but I just wanted to say “hey I’m alive and I’m good!”
Work is good, very stressful at times and busy but I’m still enjoying it. Family life is hectic my brother is still at home with us and waiting to move in to his own home with supported living, his epilepsy is not good which is a big worry but as a family we pull together to support him as best we can because that’s what we do.
As you know a special person came in to my life a couple of months ago and he is still in it and I just wanted to say he is my everything 💕
I never thought I would find this level of happiness, it kind of consumes my whole body the amount of love that I have for him. He is what I have been waiting for all my life.
When people say you just know when you are truly in love you think naa how can this be? But I’ll tell you now you just do .
We don’t even have to talk to know what the other is thinking, we talk about the future, we talk about “our” future because our future is together. We have so many things to look forward to over the next couple of months and I’m so excited to be spending special moments with “the love of my life”
Anyone who thinks their life can’t change well I can tell you good things do happen when you start to believe again, the light has definitely come in to my life and I am in a good headspace. ❤️ | <urn:uuid:3ad957ad-ef26-4695-b464-36541509ebac> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://foreverinneverland.blog/tag/friendships/ | 2020-08-11T07:22:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738735.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811055449-20200811085449-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.985145 | 376 | [

Calling all Jimi Hendrix fans! The Jimi Hendrix family (Experience Hendrix LLC), in conjunction with Legacy Recordings, has been resurrecting and reissuing the Jimi Hendrix catalogue. This latest wave of reissues consists of four new releases: Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix Live At The Isle Of Wright on DVD, Jimi Hendrix Experience – Winterland (4 CD set), Jimi Hendrix: The Dick Cavett Show DVD, and Hendrix In The West (Expanded).
When Hendrix In The West was originally released during early 1972, it was less than 18 months after his death, and any new Hendrix material was a big deal at the time as it was unknown how much was actually out there. It proved to be his most popular and highest charting live album.
The release has now returned in an expanded and cleaned-up form. The biggest difference in sound is the quality of his guitar. The notes and tone is now crystal-clear and given the technology of the recordings at the time, this may be about as good as these recording are going to get. All in all, it’s worth the price of the purchase just for the improved sound.
The album is a collection of live tracks culled from a number of performances. Therefore, it is not a complete concert experience but, rather, Hendrix live in short bursts. All tracks were with his basic trio. The drummer is Mitch Mitchell, while Noel Redding and Billy Cox both apprear on bass.
The new tracks, “I Don’t Live Today,” “Spanish Magic Castle,” and “Fire,” have all appeared in many forms and on multiple releases down through the years, but these versions are welcome as Hendrix was a consummate improvisational artist and his songs are rarely similar when performed live. The placement of the tracks make more sense on this reissue, fitting together and flowing into one another better.
“The Queen” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” now lead off the album and are a good introduction even though they appear to be truncated versions.
The best track is the old rocks ‘n’ roll classic “Johnny B Goode.” His high octane performance bends and stretches the songs original structure without breaking it. It’s fun to compare it with his funky interpretation of “Blue Suede Shoes.”
“Fire” and “I Don’t Live Today” are presented back to back and prove just how important Mitch Mitchell was to Hendrix’s sound. “Fire” is at its usual frenetic best. “I Don’t Live Today” contains all the elements of a Hendrix psychedelic classic. The feedback, the insertion of notes from “The Star Spangled Banner” and some great improvisational riffs all add up to a superior performance.
The perennial live favorite “Red House” benefited greatly from the remastering. It is a slow blues tune and each note is crystal clear, with his finger speed on full display. “Little Wing” has also been enhanced and is a good example of his ability to bend the strings to create his unique sound.
“Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” concludes the album and contains the line “If I don’t see you no more in this world.”
Hendrix In The West has been out of print for decades so it’s nice to have it back in circulation, especially in an expanded and remastered form. It should please Hendrix’s large fan base, and if you have never owned the album, then this reissue becomes essential. | <urn:uuid:eaf8d1c7-e4b3-4369-9789-166db4fa3095> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://muskmellon.wordpress.com/2011/09/17/hendrix-in-the-west-legacy-edition-by-jimi-hendrix/ | 2020-08-11T06:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738735.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811055449-20200811085449-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.958194 | 789 | [

Remote Identification Antenna with SiS (for vLoc3 Series Receivers)
The Remote Antenna can be used to help identify a cable in a cable tray, where cables are bunched together, or in proximity making it impossible to use a conventional locator.
When used with the vLoc3-5000 receiver with SiS (signal select mode), the SiS mode becomes a powerful tool that easily identifies a particular cable on a cable tray or where cables are bunched together by providing a visible positive or negative icon (+ and -) when the cable is touched by the antenna.
This accessory is compatible with all vLoc3 series receivers.

Stanford researchers are on track to begin human trials of a potentially potent new weapon against cancer, and would-be participants are flooding in following the Post’s initial report on the discovery.
The progress comes just two months after the groundbreaking study by Dr Irv Weissman, who developed an antibody that breaks down a cancer’s defense mechanisms in the body.
A protein called CD47 tells the body not to “eat” the cancer, but the antibody developed by Dr Weissman blocks CD47 and frees up immune cells called macrophages — which can then engulf the deadly cells.
The new research shows the miraculous macrophages effectively act as intelligence gatherers for the body, pointing out cancerous cells to cancer-fighting “killer T” cells.
The T cells then “learn” to hunt down and attack the cancer, the researchers claim.
“It was completely unexpected that CD8+ T (killer T) cells would be mobilized when macrophages engulfed the cancer cells in the presence of CD47-blocking antibodies,” said MD/PhD student Diane Tseng, who works with Dr. Weissman.
The clinical implications of the process could be profound in the war on cancer.
When macrophages present “killer T” cells with a patient’s cancer, the T cells become attuned to the unique molecular markers on the cancer.
This turns them into a personalized cancer vaccine.
“Because T cells are sensitized to attack a patient’s particular cancer, the administration of CD47-blocking antibodies in a sense could act as a personalized vaccination against that cancer,” Tseng said.
The team of researchers at Stanford plan on starting a small 10-100 person phase I clinical human trial of the cancer therapy in 2014. | <urn:uuid:538fd662-1696-4a28-a76c-217fd448580c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://nypost.com/2013/07/11/new-wonder-drug-matches-and-kills-all-kinds-of-cancer-human-testing-starts-2014/ | 2020-08-12T21:31:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738944.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812200445-20200812230445-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.933363 | 379 | [

Monkey lived in a tall tree by the ocean. Bushels of sweet fruit called mangoes grew in the tree.
Whenever he was hungry, Monkey hopped through the branches and ate the delicious fruit.
Sometimes, he threw the mangoes into the ocean and was delighted by the giant splash. Swimming beneath the waves, Shark enjoyed eating the fruit.
One day, he rose to the ocean surface and asked Monkey to come with him to his home.
Monkey looked nervously at Shark’s razor-sharp teeth and told him that he hated to get wet. Shark told Monkey to grab his fin and ride on his back.
That way, he promised, not a drop would touch him. Reluctantly, Monkey agreed, and soon the two were racing across the ocean.
When land had disappeared from sight, Shark told him that his chief was sick.
The sharks had given the chief everything to eat, but nothing made him better.
Finally, they had agreed that a monkey’s heart would be the cure. When he heard this, Monkey clutched his chest and groaned.
“I didn’t bring my heart!” he cried. Shark was stunned and asked where it was.
Monkey told him that it was back in the tree, where he had hung it up for safekeeping. Monkey convinced Shark to return to shore, where Monkey would get his heart and climb back onto Shark’s back to help the king.
But when Monkey jumped into the tree, he didn’t reappear for several hours. Tired of waiting, Shark asked Monkey what took him so long.
Safe among the tree branches, Monkey mocked Shark, telling him that his heart had been in his chest all along.
Shark returned without a cure for his chief. Since then, monkeys never swim in the ocean. | <urn:uuid:e415f3dc-41e9-48fe-9717-2e36453d7db3> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://zippyfacts.com/how-did-monkey-trick-shark-according-to-west-african-mythology/ | 2020-08-14T11:27:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739211.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814100602-20200814130602-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.993581 | 384 | [

The Holocaust was a time where people were dropping like flies. It was a time period where people were hunted down like animals and killed in cold blood. Adolf Hitler was an anti-Semitic Nazi leader who believed that Jews were an inferior race, an “alien threat to the German racial purity”. Around six million Jews between 1941 and 1945 were tortured to death by the death squads or worse transported to death camps. The Nazis sought to obliterate the entire Jewish race in Europe. Victims ranged from children to the elderly, there was no age limit to stop the wrath of these cold hearted killers (The Holocaust). During the Holocaust, Jews documented their mournful experience in their own words and from their own perspective in letters and diaries. Anne Frank was one of these testimonial writers of this heartbreaking time and she allowed us to see into her world through her optimistic eyes.
The most famous acclaimed life during the Holocaust has been read by millions of people, including ourselves. We have all read or watched The Diary of Anne Frank at some point in our lives. Anne Frank is the world’s most famous World War II Holocaust victim. She was a Jewish teenager who went into hiding during the Holocaust for two years. She jotted down her experience while being confined with her family and four other fugitives as they hid behind a bookcase in a concealed attic space of her father’s office building (Anne Frank Biography). Her optimistic view of the depressing time reflected her nobility. These journal entries of her traumatizing experience later became the renowned book, The Diary of Anne Frank which serves as a tool of information and inspiration to many people.
Annelies “Anne” Marie Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany on June 12, 1929 and died in February- March 1945. Her father, Otto Frank, was a businessman while her mother, Edith, was a stay at home mom. Anne was an outgoing and spirited child. She got into more trouble than her quiet and serious older sister, Margot. Anne was like her father who liked to play around, while Margot was more shy like her mother. She was like any other teenage girl around her age. Anne Frank had the common teenage arguments with her parents, as well as the thoughts of being a self-regulating girl hoping to fall in love, as most teenagers do today. The skinny thirteen year old girl with short black hair and a fair skin complexion who, was a naughty, funny,courageous, smart, and loud girl (Biography Anne frank).
Furthermore, the Holocaust was the mass slaughter of European civilians and especially Jews by the Nazis during World War II. There were mobile killing units, also, known as the death squad that were in charge of these mass murders. The death squad had many methods of killing these innocent people but their favorite was the open field. They would enter a town or city and rounded up all Jews, where they were forced to gather all their valuables and remove their clothing. Then the killing squad members would march them into open fields, forests, and ravines on the outskirts of the town. There they would line them up in a line and shoot them in the line with no mercy; then dumped the bodies into mass graves (Mobile killing squad). Another, method was the gas vans in which the “exhaust pipes had been reconfigured to pump carbon monoxide gas into sealed paneled spaces behind the cabs of the vehicles. ”The dead bodies were then driven into a nearby forest, where they were dumped into mass graves. There were six killing centers known as “extermination camps” or “death camps. “Chelmno was the first killing campto begin operations, in December 1941. The largest killing center was Auschwitz-Birkenau, also known as Auschwitz II. In the camps they would kill the jews by placing them in gas chambers (Killing center: In depth). First, they were told to take off their clothing because they were going to take a shower. Inside there were three columns for the ventilators, through which the gas was poured in. When the room was full, small children were thrown in through a window. Infants were grabbed by their little legs and smashed their skulls against the wall. Then the gas was let into the chamber, where the lungs of the victims slowly burst, and after three minutes a loud clamoring could be heard. Then the chamber were opened, and those who showed signs of life were beaten to death (Experiences of a Fifteen year old in Birkenau).
Anne Frank’s story is an unquestionably horrifying yet moving story. Even though Anne did not physically survive the camps, her soul is immortalized in her diary. Anne’s legacy is important because it provides insight into the lives of those in hiding during World War II. Her story provided the world with a glimpse into the mind of a real victim during this inhuman time period. Her constant positive outlook on her life was amazing she said “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. ” Even through the toughest of tough she had a positive view. The emotional appeal that Anne writes with provides a learning and a relatable connection that textbooks about World War II just cannot provide. Anne’s writing also has a positive undertone, she sees good in everyone. This reminds people that it is possible to find light even in the darkest of situations. Anne’s story is one of courage and hope, when all hopes were lost. “I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains” Anne Frank. ”
Anne represented, and still does, an entire race during a very bleak time. A time where these jewish families lost everything from material things to inner hope. But that wasn’t case for Anne; she teaches humanity many lessons about life. Her most impactful lesson is being optimistic and humble. Anne Frank was able to tell us her story about what it was like to live in a country full of people that hated Jews, like herself. Having to be aware and careful while living with fear every single day is no way to live, but Anne Frank managed to keep positive every day she was alive. She teaches us to be optimistic, to see the good things around us, and not to focus on the negative aspects of life, as she did during her traumatizing experience. Anne Frank always saw the light in the nazies as they destroyed an entire race with no mercy. Under all evil there is some type of light.

Bookmarket is another’Order Flow’ trading index and trading applications being promoted by people with zero listing of trading success. Even though the program is well designed, secure, and does exactly what it’s supposed to perform, which is screen volume on a graphical screen. On the other hand, the information that’s presented to the end consumer is of hardly any worth. The”trading setups” really are a mish-mash of nebulous and extremely ambiguous info. Nothing is testable or provable. Everything is explained in Jedi Yoda conditions for example,”one has to feel the flow of the markets, so an individual has to locate the marketplace rythmes, an individual has to allow the indicators permeate the inner soul.”
User Review( votes)
Thanks for reading today’s review of Bookmap
What’s Bookmap? Bookmap is a quantity visualization trading index and standalone trading platform. The site is seen in Bookmap.com, in addition to Veloxpro.com.
The computer software is sent to the masses via different electronic trading platforms and trading brokerages.
An overview of Archive.org shows the firm began an aggressive advertising push in 2013. This time period also succeeds with many other’index hustlers’ additionally offering quite similar applications. It seems the 2013 has been the breakout season with this most up-to-date and best indicator fad dispersing throughout the retail community.
Bookmap maintains a healthy and well promoted YouTube page at the following address. The YouTube page serves as the primary marketing and demonstration hub for the software. In total, there are 132 demonstration videos.
During the month of October 2016, tradingschools.pro spent nearly 40 hours observing the software perform over a variety of markets, including the emini SP500 futures, Crude Oil futures, and 30 year US Treasury Bonds futures. All three of these products are highly popular with the retail trading community, and we felt that these tradable products would be of most interest to readers.
What exactly is Bookmap?
Essentially, Bookmap is a visual representation of the entire trading DOM, spread over a specific time period. Typically, when traders are viewing a trading chart, they are visualizing price, time and measurable movement. However, Bookmap takes additional data fields, that have been freely available since the advent of electronic trading, and includes this data into a sort of ‘electronic burrito’. Where a whole lot of additional ingredients are crammed inside of the tortilla.
Are more ingredients inside of a burrito better? Do they make the burrito more tasty? Does this create a more nutritious trading environment? Is it beneficial to include a waffle and pickles inside of our carne asada burrito? Is more better. These were questions that we set out to answer.
In the past, tradingschools.pro has reviewed several other trading educators also offering nearly identical trading indicators. None of those reviews have been particularly friendly. The main reason for these poor reviews is because tradingschools.pro has yet to find a trading educator that has been able to proof the concept of order flow indicators. In short, we are looking for profits, and thus far we can find no person’s that can verify actual trading profits.
Are trading profits the only way to verify these types of indicators?
Obviously, the best way to proof a concept, like an airplane, is to watch the airplane take flight. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a pilot that has been able to achieve liftoff using order flow trading indicators. Does this mean that we should simply walk away, and toss the idea aside? Absolutely not. In fact, most of today’s modern trading platforms come with the ability to backtest trading ideas.
Whenever a new building is designed, in today’s modern world, the building is analyzed through a series of simulators that present natural weather challenges to the building. Or when Boeing builds a new plane, before the plane is even contemplated being built, it is sent through a series of simulators. Or a new drug is developed, the biotech company will run the molecular profile through a series of molecular ‘bombardment’ profiles to capture any potential side effects. This is how science works.
Scientists start with the Null Hypothesis, the theory that something does not exist unless it can be proven statistically within a population of data. This is how tradingschools.pro attempts to tackle the challenge of evaluating trading educators, trading systems, and trading indicators. We start with the assumption that everything is false unless proven otherwise.
Reaching out to Bookmap developers
The initial step in our discovery process was to reach out to the Velox Pro Bookmap developers and plainly ask if anyone at the company has been able to convert the usage of the software into actual profits. Unfortunately, nobody at Bookmap is willing to step forward with any sort of actual trading results in which to base the review.
Instead, the developers recommended that we watch the YouTube videos. And that watching these YouTube videos repeatedly, then the ideas and concepts would begin to emerge. At some point, this information would be convertible into real time trading profits. Our response was, would you eat a restaurant where the chef refused to eat his own food?
In spite of this, we held out great hope that some useful information could be gleaned from watching real markets unfold and by studiously watching and rewatching the various YouTube videos.
After several weeks of enthusiastically observing the software perform in real time market environments, we came to the conclusion that everything witnessed was so highly subjective that every opinion on market direction was muddled with confirmation bias.
The problem with confirmation bias
What exactly is confirmation bias and illusory correlation, and how does it apply to trading? Have you ever looked at a price chart, and overlayed the price chart with a moving average? Isn’t it amazing how sometimes the price will bounce off of the moving average? It is incredibly seductive to believe that a market is going to ‘bounce’ at a moving average. However, when backtested upon larger data sets, the ‘bounce’ that the moving average provided simply disappears. It was an illusion. Your mind was seeking a pattern, and the human mind is wonderful at seeking and discovering patterns with no statistical validity. “Last night was a half moon, and today a bird pooped on my windshield, therefore the half moon foretold the bird poop bombardment.”
This is the faulty logical foundation in which the Bookmap order flow indicators are built upon. The ideas presented by the developers are a hodge podge of YouTube videos that claim that “Iceberg Orders, Black Box Algos, Volume Absorption, Volume Imbalance, Aggressive Volume, Passive Volume, Institutional Volume, etc. are the reason why the price moved higher, or reversed, or bounced, or went lower. There is always an avenue in which to let the mind wander in the land of fantasies and self entertianment.
Test, Test, Test
In the trading business, it is best to believe nobody. And it is always a great idea to test theories and ideas, before risking your trading account. With Bookmap we were more than willing to code up their trading ideas and test them on data. Unfortunately, even the guys at Bookmap have no idea exactly what ideas could be defined and tested. Instead, they prefer to offer the software “as a visual tool.”
Another problem that we find with volume visualization tools, like Bookmap, is that the order book is 99% useless noise. Why? At any moment, there are massive amounts of orders entering the market, where the players involved have no intention of executing those orders. These massive unfulfilled order flows are meant to create an illusion that “the big players, the hedge funds, George Soros, the Illuminati, Barack Obama” are doing the following nefarious activities like, “Quote stuffing, quote smoking, quote spoofing, quote dangling, or quote pack-hunting . Order flow indicator hustlers will attempt to do what they always do, convince you something is happening and you can only see these special events with their proprietary tools.
And so, don’t be fooled! Ask for a definition of their idea, and then program and test it. The following 30-second clip really made me laugh, and it personifies the problem with order flow indicators, how do you define and test such nebulous concepts?
My own opinion
Obviously, I am not a big fan of “Order Flow.” But this belief is not based upon opinion or my natural cynicism. This is based upon evidence, and testing these ideas on actual data. Just like the aeronautical engineer tests the plane, or the biotech engineer tests the chemical compound, or the banker tests the client with pay stubs that verify income…before they make the loan.
The bottom line is that I cannot find any statistical evidence that this stuff actually works. And I am not willing to place even a single bet unless I know that the dice are loaded in my favor.
The opinion of others…
tradingschools.pro received a lot of email from purchasers of these types of trading products. Some of the opinions are expressed as hilarious analogies. One reader sent me the following note:
After using the software for 2 months, I began to realize why there is a 3 month minimum.
The indicators remind me of christmas tree lights. For a few weeks, it was pretty to look at. Dazzling actually. But what it all means? I have no idea.
And probably the best reply came from a user that described the software akin to Tasseography. Of course, I had no idea what Tasseography meant, and so I googled it. It is the art of interpreting the patterns within coffee grounds, tea leaves, or wine sediments. A parlor trick orchestrated by medieval European fortune tellers. A practice still very much in vogue.
Wrapping things up
Thanks for reading today’s article. I apologize if I offended some folks. Many readers love these types of trading tools. In my opinion, its just a fad that will eventually be yet another free product that comes standard on all trading platforms, like other once highly regarded and outrageously expensive technical indicators (stochastics, MACD, Fibonacci).
As always, thanks for commenting. | <urn:uuid:0b8f9213-046f-4c2f-b29f-da136638e7f4> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://tradingschools.pro/reviews/bookmap | 2020-08-07T20:56:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737225.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807202502-20200807232502-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.948019 | 2,175 | [

The new Abington Bridge on Thunderbolts Way was officially opened today by the Minister for Roads and Freight Duncan Gay, Senator John Williams and Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall.
The $1.45 million bridge has been jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments and Uralla Shire Council.
Mr Gay said Abington Bridge is a great example of what happens when two coalition governments work closely together to deliver results for regional communities.
“The new bridge sees the removal of dog legged bends, eliminating what had been a significant bottleneck for people communing between Uralla, Armidale and Inverell.
“This bridge has also been built stronger to accommodate heavy vehicles ensuring freight and farm machinery movements in and out of the town centres of Uralla, Armidale and Inverell are safe, efficient and timely.”
The NSW Government provided $705,000 through Fixing Country Roads, the flagship program for the bush, providing funds to help councils repair local roads and bridges and improve regional road and freight pinch points in country NSW.
The contribution was matched by Federal Government funding through the Bridge Renewal Program. Uralla Shire Council managed the project and contributed a further $43,000 in funding.
Senator Williams said the project highlights the importance of having representatives who were able to come together across all levels of government to fight for the needs of the community.
“The previous bridge was a narrow, 92 year old single-lane, timber-decked bridge used by more than 570 vehicles a day. The new bridge is a dual-lane concrete bridge removing a significant transport and freight pinch point along this road,” Mr Williams said.
“The previous bridge had a 45 km/h speed limit, the new bridge allows for 100 km/h crossing of the bridge allowing people to get where they need to go sooner.”
Mr Marshall said the new 45-metre Abington Bridge would deliver a better transport route for local residents, businesses and farmers.
“Council and the community have been crying out for a new bridge for years and I am delighted to see it delivered so quickly after the completion of its big brother, Emu Crossing, a little further up the road,” Mr Marshall said.
“I congratulate all involved on yet another bridge successful project in our region that helps farmers, freight transporters, tourists and local motorists.”
The old bridge is expected to be removed within the next two months. | <urn:uuid:8cca0cf7-325c-4c11-b619-a47b7d5180c0> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.adammarshall.com.au/abington-bridge-offically-opened/ | 2020-08-07T21:50:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737225.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807202502-20200807232502-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.958254 | 518 | [

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Board shall not follow any practice or policy in the consideration of any application for the formation of a one-bank holding company if following such practice or policy would result in the rejection of such application solely because the transaction to form such one-bank holding company involves a bank stock loan which is for a period of not more than twenty-five years. The previous sentence shall not be construed to prohibit the Board from rejecting any application solely because the other financial arrangements are considered unsatisfactory. The Board shall consider transactions involving bank stock loans for the formation of a one-bank holding company having a maturity of twelve years or more on a case by case basis and no such transaction shall be approved if the Board believes the safety or soundness of the bank may be jeopardized.
Consideration of the managerial resources of a company or bank under paragraph (2) shall include consideration of the competence, experience, and integrity of the officers, directors, and principal shareholders of the company or bank.
In every case, the Board shall take into consideration the effectiveness of the company or companies in combatting money laundering activities, including in overseas branches.
In every case, the Board shall take into consideration the extent to which a proposed acquisition, merger, or consolidation would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the United States banking or financial system.
The Board may approve an application under this section by a bank holding company that is well capitalized and well managed to acquire control of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank located in a State other than the home State of such bank holding company, without regard to whether such transaction is prohibited under the law of any State.
Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the Board may not approve an application pursuant to such subparagraph that would have the effect of permitting an out-of-State bank holding company to acquire a bank in a host State that has not been in existence for the minimum period of time, if any, specified in the statutory law of the host State.
Notwithstanding clause (i), the Board may approve, pursuant to subparagraph (A), the acquisition of a bank that has been in existence for at least 5 years without regard to any longer minimum period of time specified in a statutory law of the host State.
For purposes of this subsection, a bank that has been chartered solely for the purpose of, and does not open for business prior to, acquiring control of, or acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of, an existing bank shall be deemed to have been in existence for the same period of time as the bank to be acquired.
The Board may not approve an application pursuant to paragraph (1)(A) if the applicant (including all insured depository institutions which are affiliates of the applicant) controls, or upon consummation of the acquisition for which such application is filed would control, more than 10 percent of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the United States.
No provision of this subsection shall be construed as affecting the authority of any State to limit, by statute, regulation, or order, the percentage of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the State which may be held or controlled by any bank or bank holding company (including all insured depository institutions which are affiliates of the bank or bank holding company) to the extent the application of such limitation does not discriminate against out-of-State banks, out-of-State bank holding companies, or subsidiaries of such banks or holding companies.
For purposes of this paragraph, the term “deposit” has the same meaning as in section 1813(l) of this title.
Every bank that is a holding company and every bank that is a subsidiary of such a company shall become and remain an insured depository institution as defined in section 1813 of this title.
Notwithstanding any provision of Federal law other than this chapter, a savings bank or cooperative bank operating in mutual form may reorganize so as to form a holding company.
A bank holding company organized as a mutual holding company shall be regulated on terms, and shall be subject to limitations, comparable to those applicable to any other bank holding company. | <urn:uuid:19a56df3-8761-4720-af1a-fc30eef5d860> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.govregs.com/uscode/12/1842 | 2020-08-09T11:12:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738552.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809102845-20200809132845-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.946186 | 982 | [

Archive: Bodo Sperlein Bilbao range 1999
Inspired by architectural lines and shapes of the art deco movement, this collection of sculptural vases and lamps beautifully personify timeless design in the finest form, still current in today's home 20 years later.
Made from ceramics and glazed in various colours, the Bilbao vases are perfect for an array of short and long stemmed blooms, as well as a perfect statement piece, with or without floral decoration.
Translating the base shape across the whole collection, the lighting plays with different lamp shades that can be adapted to suit any interior, creating a warm yet striking ambiance.
The elegant Bilbao range dates back to 1999, launched as Bodo Sperlein's own collection of ceramic homewares.

Rocket Riders Across the Ice or Racing Against Time
By Howard R. Garis
Publisher: A. L. Burt 1933 1st ed., 1933
The Rocket Riders sequence beginning with Rocket Riders Across the Ice, or Racing against Time (1933), bases its speculations about future forms of Transportation on the Invention of a highly flexible Rocket engine, which variously powers – one mode per volume – power sleds, automobiles, boats and aeroplanes. The three young heroes, whose virtues interact in a way typical of the Airplane Boys tale, have adventures befitting these various modes of transportation, but do not seek to change the world.
These tales were of a considerable imaginative power which he did not match in his contributions to the Tom Swift series.
Howard Roger Garis (April 25, 1873 – November 6, 1962) was an American author, best known for a series of books, most books he published under his own name but in Baseball Joe he published under Lester Chadwick, that featured the character of Uncle Wiggily Longears, an engaging elderly rabbit. Garis and his wife were possibly the most prolific children's authors of the early 20th century. Many of his books were illustrated by Lansing Campbell.
Garis was born in Binghamton, New York. He and his spouse Lilian Garis both worked as reporters for the Newark Evening News
8" X 5 1/2"; 251 pages Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket
Nice hardcover book: Pages are tanned, but are free of markings.. Binding is tight.
DUST JACKET is in pretty good condition. NOTE- A few rips/chips/tears to edges of DJ front and back. Overall very nice copy and DJ gloss and vibrant color remain.
Kindly refer to images scanned, they are faithful and representative. | <urn:uuid:b233f011-2397-43df-bf1c-d88bb9782990> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://neet-stuff.myshopify.com/collections/books-childrens/products/rocket-riders-across-the-ice-howard-r-garis-author-of-original-tom-swift-uncle-wiggily-hardcover-book-teen-science-fiction-kids-classic | 2020-08-13T02:53:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738950.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813014639-20200813044639-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.964607 | 380 | [

Atkins Law Firm
Products Used: Steelcase, Milliken, OFS brands (Highmark, First Office, Carolina)
Atkins Law Firm is based in Columbia, SC and primarily represents individuals who are injured on the job.
Owner and principal, Holly Saleeby Atkins and partner Dewana Flynn Looper realized they needed a bigger space to accommodate staff and clients.
After searching for the right space, they found something that was large enough, but it was outdated and needed some layout adjustments if it was going to work for their practice.
So, they began planning a renovation and while interviewing vendors felt McWaters really stood out in their approach.
"We chose to go with McWaters because they came with a plan instead of just a list of things that were possible. They also had a whole team of people and each person had a job, which made us feel confident in their abilities."
In addition to their team of designers, flooring specialists, A/V specialists, a project manager was assigned to coordinate the team and to take care of any problems that might come up.
"Our project manager, Ned, was one of the best people we've ever worked with in terms of being honest, straightforward, and trustworthy to do a good job." | <urn:uuid:9ce44957-edae-452e-b18d-4542e08750df> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.mcwaters.com/atkins-law-firm | 2020-08-13T03:20:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738950.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813014639-20200813044639-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.983211 | 260 | [

Heat the oil in a medium (5- to 6-quart) soup pot over medium. Add the chile and stir-fry until they have changed color slightly and are very toasty - fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. (Don't over toast the chiles or the soup will be bitter.) Scoop up the chile pieces with a slotted spoon, pressing them against the side of the pot to leave behind as much oil as possible, and transfer to a blender jar; set the pan aside. (A food processor will work, but it won't completely puree the chile.) Pour the tomatoes, with their juice, into the blender.
Add 2/3 of the onions and all the garlic to the hot pan. Cook over medium, stirring frequently, until golden, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, scoop the remaining onion into a strainer rinse under cold water; and set aside to use as a garnish. Use your slotted spoon to transfer the onions and garlic to the blender, and process until smooth.
Set a medium-mesh strainer over the pot and work the tomato-chile mixture through it. Return the pot to medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until reduce and thick, about 6 minutes. Add the broth, potatoes and epazote (if you have it). When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, usually about 15 minutes. Taste and season with salt, usually a generous 1 1/2 teaspoons.
Just before serving, raise the heat to medium-high and add the mussels or clams and fish. Boil briskly until the bivalves have opened, usually about 4 minutes.
Ladle into large bowls. Sprinkle generously with cilantro and the remaining onion. Serve your steaming bowls of beauty with the limes passed separately for each person to squeeze inal gusto.
Riffs on the Seafood Soup Theme: The fish and shellfish can easily change to include practically any seafood you can lay your hands on. Here are my general guidelines: Mussels or clams add complexity to the soup, so I always try to include them. Shrimp and scallops are good for meaty sweetness. Most medium-or large-flake fish can be used in this dish. (Fish with a fine flake, like sole or small flounder, tend to fall apart in the soup, and strong flavored fish, such as mackerel, bluefish and salmon, can overwhelm the flavors of the broth.) If you want to use crab meat, add it just before you serve the soup so it doesn't disintegrate.
The potatoes can be replaced by cubes of chayote (I don't even peel them), 1-inch lengths of green beans, peas or corn (use the same weight). Or replace them with a drained 28-ounce can of hominy to make a dish similar to the pozole de mariscos that's popular on Mexico's west coast. | <urn:uuid:5a5e0875-bac9-48fa-acb3-9122b50d34b9> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/red-chile-seafood-soup/?replytocom=85820 | 2020-08-13T03:03:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738950.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813014639-20200813044639-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.934866 | 624 | [

For something better, that is.
There's really nothing wrong with the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that powers the current Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, among other AMG-branded models. This engine has been praised time and again for its power, throttle response, and throaty sound. And it'll soon be phased out of the model lineup entirely after only being introduced in 2011. Fortunately, its replacement has already arrived: the new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 now under the long hood of the Mercedes-AMG GT.
Obviously, it's smaller than the 5.5-liter but it's capable of delivering even greater power with far better fuel economy. It's really a win-win for Mercedes. But before it's sent to engine heaven, the 5.5-liter is being called for duty in the GLE63 S Coupe which was just revealed at Detroit. It'll go up against the BMW X6M and its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8. Bottom line is that the new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 will soon become AMG's main, and most likely important, engine. | <urn:uuid:98eebd88-47ed-48b9-8aca-9040a815abd8> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://carbuzz.com/news/mercedes-ditching-e63-amg-s-wonderful-twin-turbo-v8 | 2020-08-14T18:16:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739347.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814160701-20200814190701-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.969476 | 248 | [

Changes of ownership of intellectual property rights are sometimes done in a series of transactions all executed at generally the same time. For example, when acquiring assets, they might first be assigned to an acquisition company, the acquisition company merged into the purchaser, the seller dissolved, and the purchasing company’s name changed to the name of the original seller. Good practice is to execute and record the documents in order.
And sometimes there are cases that remind us to keep up the good practices. Tracfone Wireless, Inc. owned a number of trademarks and copyrights. The intellectual property assets were assigned from Tracfone Wireless, Inc. (Florida) to Tracfone Wireless, Inc. (Delaware). On the same day, Tracfone Wireless, Inc. (Florida) became Tracfone Wireless, LLC. The defendants in the suit argued that the LLC was the true owner of the assets, not the plaintiff, Tracfone Wireless, Inc. (Delaware). Tracfone parried (through a declaration from a senior vice president) that the assignment was executed before the Certificate of Conversion. The court decided:
|[T]he only evidence in the record is the declaration by Jill Garcia that clearly evinces the intention of the Florida corporation to assign its intellectual property rights to Plaintiff before it was converted to a new business entity. See Hinote v. Brigman, 33 So. 303, 305-06 (Fla.1902) (“if the party sought to be charged intended to close a contract prior to the formal signing of a written draft, or if he signified such an intention to the other party, he will be bound by the contract actually made, though the signing of the written draft be omitted. If, on the other hand, such party neither had nor signified such an intention to close the contract until it was fully expressed in a written instrument and attested by signatures, then he will not be bound until the signatures are affixed.”) (emphasis added). As there is no evidence that there was an intent for the conversion to take place prior to the time it was executed, I find that the evidence in the record indicates the assignment was consummated and therefore took effect prior to the conversion. Accordingly, Plaintiff is the owner of the trademarks and copyright at issue in this action and subject matter jurisdiction is proper.|
At least the court was not pleased with the defendant’s ploy, but unfortunately for plaintiff not displeased enough. Plaintiff had moved for sanctions:
Plaintiff claims that Defendants’ position as to subject matter jurisdiction was frivolous and unsupported by the law. Specifically, Plaintiff represents that it explained to counsel for Defendants the circumstances surrounding the assignment of the intellectual property rights to Plaintiff and requested Defendants to withdraw their Motion. The Defendants’ position is without merit, and these circumstances present a close call as to whether imposition of sanctions would be appropriate. Defendants fail to recognize or address, either in their pleadings or at oral argument, that the crux of the question here is whether the assignment took place prior to the conversion becoming effective. The sole reliance on Fla. Stat. § 607.1114(2) is insufficient. However, because it is at least a colorable argument, I do not find it so frivolous or unsupported by law to warrant the imposition of sanctions. The Motion for Rule 11 Sanctions is accordingly denied.
Tracfone Wireless, Inc. v. Access Telecom, Inc., No. 09-20397-CIV-Gold/McAliley, 2009 WL 2207818 (S.D. Fla. July 24, 2009).

We recently announced the addition of Native Uncompressed IP decoding to our C-200 decoder. The technology is the culmination of a multi year effort, but the result has the potential to revolutionise IP contribution workflows.
The transition to IP in broadcasting is very much like the transition to all-electric cars. In the automotive industry, many traditional manufacturers want to build electric cars, but they are not setup to do that. To get around it, they take an electric engine and stick it in a legacy car model. But it’s never as good as designing a car around an fully electric engine. The same is true with IP-based products. All too often legacy manufacturers simply try to fit IP into existing products with internal or external converters. The result is acceptable, but you get increased operational efficiency if you build products natively around IP.
In many IP facilities feeds are converted from MPEG-TS to SDI and then to 2110 IP. This requires large amounts of legacy hardware to house traditional IRDs and conversion equipment. It also requires broadcasters to maintain large numbers of fixed-function, low-density IRDs that are often used for short periods of time per day.
By encoding and decoding natively in IP, racks of SDI converters are no longer needed and more importantly, all the encoding and decoding can happen with software. This means that more capacity can be added when needed and reduced at quieter times, using the hardware for other purposes.
Our encoders are already equipped with the ability to encode 2110 Uncompressed IP to MPEG-TS. By adding decoding ability, we are helping our clients to become much more efficient. Indeed, this project stemmed from work with a client that is using IP for its sports contribution. With up to 32 feeds coming in at any one time, decoding to SDI was an inefficient option. Thanks to native uncompressed IP decoding, we have been able to perform the same decoding processes as two racks of traditional SDI IRDs with just 2U of rackspace, not to mention drastically reduced cabling.
IP workflows have the potential to make broadcast more efficient without sacrificing on quality. We are continually working on new innovations to maximise its potential. | <urn:uuid:af268233-2c86-49c0-bb1b-ba74bd615247> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.obe.tv/why-native-uncompressed-ip-decoding-matters/ | 2020-08-14T17:38:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739347.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814160701-20200814190701-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.96294 | 452 | [

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many organizations to rapidly adopt cloud solutions for email, office applications, collaboration and conferencing. The solutions are generally having a positive impact on productivity, keeping team members connected, and making the best of the work from home change. On the other side of the security equation are cyber criminals dramatically increasing their attacks looking for poorly configured solutions, access to credentials, and anything they can use to defraud organizations with inadequate security.
The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency recently issued Alert (AA20-120A) Microsoft Office 365 Security Recommendations. The Alert provides guidance specific to Office 365 cloud security configuration and settings based on the trends identified through threat monitoring. Alert (AA20-120A) is a good reminder to take a breath, step back, and perform a cloud security health check on each of your cloud solutions, especially if your organization deployed the solution since the beginning of the pandemic. The concepts detailed in the alert can be applied to any cloud solution in use. Step through the following for your cloud solution(s) and make sure you understand your responsibilities, what you control, what the cloud provider controls, and most importantly how the cloud solution is secured:
- Authentication: Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) on every application possible. As time allows, integrate solutions with your Active Directory or single-sign-on solution, but always use MFA when it is available (and it should be widely available).
- User Management: Most cloud solutions rely on you to add, remove, and modify users. It is up to you to ensure you manage users, assign permissions, and review the users periodically.
- Least Privilege: Give users the permissions they need to perform their duties, but resist the temptation to give everyone the same access. You do not need a multi-level matrix, but you should limit administrator privileges and any privileges that could let a user change data, logs, or access permissions.
- Encryption: Make sure your cloud provider is using up to date encryption. An easy way to check is connect with multiple browsers and make sure you are not getting any warnings or errors due to the encryption level, or the certificate.
- Logs and Audit Trails: Every cloud solution logs information. You need to ensure that logs are available to review user logins and login failures-especially administrator logins. Ideally, you should review the logs periodically. Realistically, you need to make sure you know how to access them and where to look to find what events are logged.
- Alerts: If the cloud solution offers alerts, decide if they are meaningful and useful to you, and implement them as appropriate. Alerts (such as logins from a new location) can be very useful as an early indicator of account compromise.
- Diligence: Cloud solution providers will often have a SOC 2 Type II audit report that you can review for security control information. Ask every cloud solution provider with your mission critical or sensitive data for their SOC 2 report. Review the SOC 2 report to see if the security controls they have in place address your requirements (which include the security settings above) and if any deficiencies were noted in the audit. Once you have that information you can decide if the cloud solution provider is addressing your requirements, or if you need to start looking for another provider.
Advanced techniques, configuration reviews, and detailed testing can be performed, but the items above are basic checks you can perform quickly. The critical thing is to invest the time and make sure you understand your cloud solution(s) and how they are secured.

Yoga guru SURAKSHIT GOSWAMI says that practising yoga regularly keeps the body, sense organs, mind and life force free of ailments
Life is a celebration and should continue to be so for as long as we live. With time, in fact, it should become even more pleasurable. This ongoing celebration is not an external phenomenon but an internal one. In fact, it is a state of mind where everything appears blissful.
However, our fickle nature makes us act according to whims and fancies, and while flitting from one thought to the next, the mind often becomes attached to unnecessary things. One wonders if the mind is fickle because we are so influenced by physical desires that our mind is always wavering and is in turmoil. The mind appears happy so long as things happen according to desire. It becomes sad and perturbed the moment life takes a sudden turn and if our wishes are not fulfilled. It then alternates between sukh and dukh.
Rise above materialism
But true happiness and peace does not lie in material things. Happiness and peace will continue to elude us if we remain unduly attached to material things.
This fact is even more important once we realise that it is the state of our mind that controls physical health. A mind that wanders and causes tension and despair leads to sickness and ill health in the body.
The question that then arises is how does one understand the mind? And how does one rein in the mind? The solution lies in delving deep into the mind and establishing a communion with the inner self. In the process, one becomes an embodiment of love, compassion, equality and bliss. This is the state of dhyaan or meditation and this is the beginning of yoga.
The discipline of yoga is a precious heritage of our Indian culture. Yoga has been practised since ages to heal physical and mental ailments. However, one cannot attain the knowledge of yoga easily. To master it, you must aim to lead an ideal way of life and seek the blessings of a guru or master.
Practise yoga regularly with complete dedication to keep your body, sense organs, mind and life force free of ailments. As a result of this, y ou will move swiftly on the road to spirituality and realise your inner self.
Yoga fuels happiness
According to Maharshi Patanjali the basis of yoga lies in curbing certain traits of the mind, like ego and attachment, in order to help individuals break away from their worldly shackles. Maharshi Patanjali calls this yogaschittavrittanirodhaha. Our mind is constantly wandering either in the past or in the future owing to a chain of thoughts or vrittis that cloud the mind. These thoughts — influenced by the environment we live in and arising because of certain characteristics that we inherit — influence our responses to the material world, giving rise to sanskaara or traits.
Maharshi Patanjali has classified these chains of vrittis into five categories — pramaan, viparyaya, vikalpa, nidra and smriti. A saadhak or practitioner of yoga remains in a pure and free state of mind. He gladly accepts the praarabdh karm or inevitable actions that are destined for him. All sanskaara or accumulated acts of the previous life are destroyed and no action occurs owing to a sense of non-attachment.
The practice of yoga expands your horizon and spurs you on to positive thoughts. You are filled with feelings of affection and compassion towards everyone and all your confusion and doubts are cleared. Your face radiates happiness as you develop integrity of mind. As you continue to practise yoga, even adverse conditions fail to perturb you. A yoga practitioner gradually accepts inevitable actions, or the highs and lows that are part of his destiny.
No wonder then, that yoga makes your entire life a celebration. | <urn:uuid:502e222c-8d7b-4bd2-8d9b-a9c76c569b1d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/celebrate-life-with-yoga-114969 | 2020-08-06T11:12:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439736902.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806091418-20200806121418-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.937067 | 812 | [

The world of barcodes can be confusing for us designers. It’s stuffed full of jargon and confusing technical language and, frankly, it’s not too exciting. However, its important to know your stuff because mistakes can be costly and embarrassing. Luckily, barcode errors can be easily avoided if you remember a few details…
1. Talk to your printer
No, not your trusty inkjet… However, if you’re planning on sending your files to a commercial printer for printing on a press then communication is key. Speak to your printer and ask them for barcode specs. At the very least, they should be able to tell you bar width reduction, minimum bar height (aka truncation) and scale (aka magnification).
2. Think about colour contrast
Contrast is everything in barcodes. You want as big a contrast between the bars of your barcode and the colour its printed on. If possible, go for a black barcode on a white background and you shouldn’t have any problems.
If you must colour your barcode then avoid colouring it red at all costs. The laser that scans barcodes is red too so red codes almost certainly won’t scan. Aim for nice dark bars on a light background and you shouldn’t go too far wrong. If you’re unsure, print some test codes in your planned colours and try scanning them.
3. Don’t mess with the font
Barcode fonts are usually OCR-B or Helvetica. It’s possible to change the font as you see fit without stopping the code from being scanned, although we’d strongly recommend against it. If you change the font, make sure the text is still easily readable by the human eye – if your code doesn’t scan, someone is going to have to read and type that number!
4. Make sure you get the bar height right
This is sometimes called truncation. In short, its the height of the bars that make up the code. Generally codes will have a bar height of between 12-16mm. If the bar height is too small then your code may not scan. Again, its always best to check with your printer to see what specifications are needed.
Think about where your barcode goes on your artwork. If its on curve, e.g. on a can then make sure the bars go with the curve of the can. If possible, put the barcode where it’s unlikely to get crumpled or distorted.
6. Quiet Zones
A quiet zone is an imaginary border around the bars of your code. You shouldn’t have anything printed in that area. No text. No graphics. Nothing. If you print anything in the quiet zone it can confuse a barcode reader and your code may not scan. Generally speaking, 2-3mm is plenty. If in any doubt, it’s better to have too big a quiet zone than to small. The minimum quiet zone is sometimes indicated by a ‘light margin indicator’ on some bar codes. This is usually a ‘>’ symbol to the left and/or right of the code number.
7. Test your code
Print your code out and scan it to make sure it works. There are free apps for iOS and Android e.g. Zbar which will at least verify that the code is readable and contains the right number/text. There are also more expensive solutions for industry.
8. Avoid barcode fonts
Its possible to buy barcode fonts where you simply type your number in, change the font to your barcode font and hey presto, you have a barcode. These are not professional solutions. Avoid them! You cannot add bar width reduction which rules out production on most professional presses. Also, you may have issues if you send your document to someone who doesn’t have your font. Or worse, someone who has a subtly different version of your barcode font.
9. Don’t distort the code
Once you’ve created your code in your barcode software (did we mention that Barcode Basics for Mac OS X is a rather excellent barcode generator?), resist the temptation to scale it, stretch it, warp it etc. If you find you need a bigger or smaller code then regenerate it and replace it.
10. Use a reputable barcode generator
You tend to get what you pay for… to a certain extent. There are free barcode solutions but they are usually font based which means they’re not useful for serious work (see the section on avoiding barcode fonts above). However, don’t be fooled into spending a fortune on an app stuffed full of functions you’ll never use. Apps such as our own Barcode Basics will do the job for under $10. | <urn:uuid:ecc5d6f4-a280-4ac6-a330-051ea4a56b5d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.ghostotter.com/ten-ways-avoid-costly-barcode-errors/ | 2020-08-09T18:19:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738562.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809162458-20200809192458-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.909569 | 1,003 | [

I hope everyone has had an awesome 2015 and are looking forward to a bright 2016. I know I’ve stopped blogging for ages but from working and going to trade school, I have been pretty busy. Thankfully I’m having a break from all that soon that I can finally relax.
It all started on Thursday, 15th January when we started travelling to Port Douglas (our major destination) from Melbourne. The trip took about 3 days while we were driving 10 hours each day. The first night we stayed in Coonabarabran in New South Wales, where we weren’t planning on doing anything there but found out they had star gazing at the Warrumbungle Observatory. It was an awesome experience was able to take my first photo for the trip of the Orion Nebula. The next day we continued our trip inland and reached Emerald, a mining town in Queensland. It was pretty humid there and later that night it stormed as anything that we thought it was going to flood. | <urn:uuid:5e231828-5f3e-4cf8-9c37-7ba955809074> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://bgollow.com.au/tag/holidays/ | 2020-08-11T15:50:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738816.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811150134-20200811180134-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.989357 | 203 | [

Results sometimes may not be what we expect them to be. But the extent to which they feel like a failure really depends upon our perspective.
We’re gradually moving through the final days of the decade, as if turning the final pages of a book, imagining what our sequel might be like. Self-reflection and self-improvement are in the air. There is an opportunity now to learn and adapt for the 2020s. To be prepared for what 2020 has to offer. But the way in which we do it will affect everything.
There are two very common traps we want to help you avoid. Refusing to own the mistakes we have made and the impact they have had - as this might paint a thin denial over the details of what has happened, and stunts learning. The second is framing something as a complete disaster, which results in negativity taking the reins in our lives or workplaces. Both of these reactions take us down routes we’d rather not go down.
So how do we respond effectively to our mistakes, bad judgements and even failures?
The quality of the picture is in how it’s framed
The words we use to describe past events matter more than we think. They sometimes have the power to have a greater impact than the events themselves. Often, if we describe something as a “complete disaster” we leave close to no room for redemption, or nuanced learning. Our learning process gets reduced to “let’s try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
We recently worked with clients who were about to give a year-end presentation to investors. It had been a pretty bad year financially and they were considering covering it up, denying responsibility, and even admitting that they’d screwed up. None of these options would have helped them to achieve their goal, which was to prove that they were worth investing in.
Instead, by using the re-framing technique, they were able to find a way of owning up to their errors by turning them into powerful lessons. The way in which they communicated the so-called failings of the past year was by focusing on where these failures had helped them to learn, grow, make new plans for the future and most importantly to not reproduce these errors.
If we call the same past event, “a powerful lesson,” we find ourselves in a better position than if we were to run away from our mistakes. The words invite positive reflection, maybe even a playful investigation and they project a sense of hope upon the future.
This is the framing effect in all its splendour. Undoubtedly, the exact same facts can appear positive or negative depending on the choice of focus.
Research reveals that consumers will always gravitate to that which advertises the presence of a positive rather than towards the slightest presence of a negative - even if on paper, the same basic information is communicated.
This isn’t at all about smoothing over a painful experience, it’s about positioning yourself, and your company, to make the most of the hand you have been dealt and turn whatever negative situation into your favour.
There is definite power in ownership
When we communicate our mistakes to others - whether colleagues, press or friends - laying the responsibility elsewhere is rarely helpful. Even if aspects of past events were beyond our control, it is worth acknowledging the weaknesses that played their part in the mistake which has been committed. Obfuscating or shying away from responsibility always erodes trust - and trust is something you never want to lose, considering how hard it is to earn it back once it is lost.
For the same reasons, be wary of explaining a situation in a way that deflects rather than owns responsibility. Absolutely nobody likes to hear something that sounds like an excuse rather than an apology. Excuses lead to disconnect, instead of the connection apologies can offer, which is what you’re trying to build here.
You have to be honest with yourself first, before you worry about being honest with others. You made a mistake - and that’s okay. It’s a side effect of being human. Owning up to your mistakes is owning your humanity. It’s having control over an uncontrollable aspect of life. It also feels authentic and it has the undeniable ability to draw the right kind of people to your side.
Action your learning
Consider exactly what you have gathered from the experience - which weaknesses it has pressed upon, what problems it has revealed - and then start planning a way forward. What are you going to commit to? Where do you need help? What steps do you need to implement now, and which ones do you need to return to in a month, two months, or even a year down the line?
When you own your mistakes and plan the route ahead, you become able to communicate the positive that has emerged through the experience. You gain the ability to frame it with a sense of hope, and you can move into a place of respect. People might respond better than you assume they will. They know they are just as prone to error, just as imperfect, just as human. At the end of the day, everyone makes mistakes - it’s how we handle them that matters.
All about keeping it real
The thread linking all of this together is authenticity. It is admittedly impossible to effectively communicate without it. Even more so when it comes down to articulating mistakes. For there is no-one that appears more hollow than someone who purposefully ignores an elephant in the room. Authenticity is the key to turn a moment of failure into a moment of inspiration.
Whether you’ve had the best or worst year in business. Whether this year was the most uplifting or disappointing in your career - how you communicate the news can effectively change everything for the years to come.
The good news is that you can hone your communication skills to ensure that the engagement keeps growing. We’ve been developing communication methodologies for over a decade and we’re here to arm you with the skills you need, to adapt - and make the most out of both success and failure.

To the Editor: Fischl et al. are to be commended for their effort to apply quantitative predictors of outcome to emergency-room management of asthma (October 1 issue).* Their recommendation is the two-step clinical algorithm (Fig. 1), in which “Outcome c” equals “ADMIT.” I suggest that if referral to a specialist experienced in the ambulatory management of severe and labile asthma can be made directly from the emergency room, such a referral, together with close follow-up and appropriate changes in therapy, may be a more cost-efficient and effective “Outcome c,” reducing the need for hospitalization and repeat emergency care to.

Excerpt from CHAPTER TEN
Israel’s Nuclear Ambitions
Linked to JFK Assassination
Did John F. Kennedy’s determined (and then secret) behind- the-scenes efforts to prevent Israel from building a nuclear weapons arsenal play a pivotal part in the events that led to his assassination on November 22, 1963? Was Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad, a front-line player in the JFK assassination conspiracy alongside elements of the CIA and international organized crime?
Why did Hollywood film-maker Oliver Stone fail to reveal—in his 1993 all-star JFK assassination extravaganza—that the hero of his epic, former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, had privately concluded that the Mossad was ultimately the driving force behind JFK’s murder?
As the 40th anniversary of the JFK assassination approaches— with worldwide attention focused on the problems of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East—is it valid or appropriate to raise the question of possible Israeli complicity in the assassination of an American president?
These are just a few of the hotly controversial questions being posed by Michael Collins Piper in his book, Final Judgment, which has emerged as a proverbial “underground best-seller” in the United States, the topic of heated debate on the Internet, and the subject of angry exchanges in a variety of public forums.
What follows is Piper’s own comprehensive survey of his findings as published in Final Judgment.
In 1992, former U.S. Congressman Paul Findley, a liberal Republican, made the little-noticed but intriguing comment that “in all the words written about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned, despite the obvious fact Mossad complicity is as plausible as any of the other theories.”
Where in the world could Findley—never known to be an extremist by any means, and certainly not one given to venting conspiracy theories—have ever come up with such an assertion?
Actually, it’s not so extraordinary a thesis if one looks at the historical record, placing all of the conventional theories about the JFK assassination in a new perspective, calculating in previously little-known details that shed stark light on the circumstances surrounding JFK’s demise and the geopolitical crises in which the American president was embroiled at the time of his shocking murder.
In truth, even the most recently widely-disseminated exposition of JFK assassination theorizing—Oliver Stone’s 1993 blockbuster film,JFK—did not present the entire picture.
Although Stone portrayed former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison as a hero for pointing the finger in the direction of elements of the U.S. military and intelligence net- works as the guiding force behind JFK’s murder, what Stone didn’t tell his audience was something even more controversial: that privately, after some years of research and reflection, Garrison had reached an even more startling determination: that the driving force behind JFK’s murder was no less than Israel’s feared intelligence service, the Mossad.
As astounding as it sounds, there’s actually good reason to conclude that Garrison may have been looking in the right direction. And in this day when the debate over “weapons of mass destruction” is in the forefront of global discussion, it is not so extraordinary a thesis as it seems.
The 40th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy approaches; and the fascination with the murder of America’s 35th president won’t go away. Assassination “buffs”—not just in the United States, but around the globe—continue to chip away at the conclusions of the two official U.S. government investigations into the affair.
Although the 1976 report by a special committee of the U.S. Congress formally contradicted the earlier 1964 finding by the presidentially-appointed Warren Commission that alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was acting alone, and concluded instead that there was indeed the likelihood of a conspiracy behind the president’s murder—hinting broadly at the involvement of organized crime—the congressional committee’s final determination actually raised more questions, in some respects, than it answered.
In 1993, Hollywood’s Oliver Stone entered the fray with his blockbuster all-star extravaganza, JFK, which presented Stone’s interpretation of the widely-publicized 1967-1969 JFK assassination inquiry by then-New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison.
Stone’s film—featuring Kevin Costner as Garrison—raised the specter of involvement by elements of the so-called “military-industrial complex,” along with a scattering of anti-Castro Cuban exiles, right-wing militants, and rogue Central Intelligence Agency operatives. The film told the story of Garrison’s investigation, and ultimately unsuccessful prosecution, of New Orleans business-man Clay Shaw (then suspected of being—and later proven to be—a collaborator with the CIA) for involvement in the JFK conspiracy.
However, as we now know, not even Stone was faithful to his hero. Long-time independent JFK assassination investigator A. J. Weberman has since revealed that during the 1970s—well after Garrison’s prosecution of Shaw—that Garrison was circulating the manuscript for a novel (never published) in which Garrison named Israel’s Mossad as the mastermind of the JFK assassination conspiracy.
Garrison never said anything about this unusual thesis—at least publicly. But beginning in the mid-1980s, and well into the present day, new evidence has emerged that not only points to good reason for Mossad motivation to move against John F. Kennedy, but also to the likelihood that not only Clay Shaw (Garrison’s target) but other key figures often associated in published writings with the JFK assassination were indeed closely tied to the Mossad and doing its bidding.
And what is particularly interesting is that none of the individuals in question—Shaw included—happened to be Jewish. So the allegation of Mossad involvement being somehow “anti-Semitic” in nature falls flat on that fact alone. But Mossad complicity—as the record indicates—is a very real possibility.
Garrison’s critics continue to assert that the New Orleans District Attorney couldn’t make up his mind as to whom he thought had orchestrated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This indeed was the primary complaint against the rambunctious, outspoken, and quite colorful prosecutor: that he simply couldn’t make up his mind. And this is one of the reasons that even many of Garrison’s supporters not only began to question his sincerity, but even as to whether Garrison’s investigation was worth the trouble.
In truth, Garrison did tend to shoot from the hip. That may have been his biggest mistake—one of many—in the course of his controversial inquiry into the murder of America’s 35th president.
At one time or another during the course of that investigation, Garrison pointed his finger at one or another of the various possible conspirators—ranging from “right-wing extremists” to “Texas oil barons” to “anti-Castro Cuban exiles” to “rogue CIA operatives.” Occasionally, Garrison went so far as to say that the conspiracy included a combination of those possible conspirators.
When Garrison finally brought one man to trial, widely respected New Orleans trade executive Clay Shaw, Garrison had narrowed his field, suggesting, primarily, that Shaw had been one of the lower-level players in the conspiracy.
According to Garrison, Shaw was essentially doing the bidding of highly-placed figures in what has roughly been described as “the military-industrial complex” —- that combination of financial interests and armaments manufacturers whose power and influence in official Washington—and around the world—is a very real force in global affairs.
• The conspirators opposed JFK’s decision to begin withdrawing U.S. forces from Indochina;
• They were angry at his failure to provide military cover support for Cuban exiles attempting to topple Fidel Castro in the botched Bay of Pigs invasion;
• They were bitter at JFK for firing long-time CIA Director Allen Dulles, a grand old man of the Cold War against the Soviet Union; and
• In addition, Garrison hinted, JFK’s successor, Lyndon Johnson, may have wanted JFK removed from office for the purpose of claiming the crown for himself, but also because JFK and his younger brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, were not only plotting to remove Johnson from the Democratic national ticket in 1964, as well as conducting federal criminal investigations of many of Johnson’s closest associates and financial backers—even including those in the realm of organized crime.In the end, after a relatively brief deliberation, the jury hearing the Shaw case acquitted Shaw. It was only later—much later—that evidence emerged that Shaw had indeed been a CIA informant, despite Shaw’s protestations to the contrary.Only in recent years has it been determined, for example, that the American CIA was deliberately sabotaging Garrison’s investigation from within, not to mention providing assistance to Shaw’s defense. And although there are those who continue to say that Shaw’s acquittal “proved” that Shaw had nothing whatsoever to do with the JFK conspiracy, the bigger picture suggests quite the contrary.
Shaw was involved with something very murky, and so were others in Shaw’s circle of friends and associates. And they were, in turn, directly connected to the strange activities of Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans the summer just prior to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, before Oswald’s sojourn to Dallas. Dozens of writers—many with differing points of view—have documented all of this, time and again.
So although the “official” legend is that Jim Garrison believed that the CIA and the military-industrial complex were the prime movers behind JFK’s murder, when all was said and done, Jim Garrison had privately reached quite a different conclusion, one that remains largely unknown even to many people who worked with Garrison throughout the course of his investigation.
In fact, as noted, Garrison had decided—based on the entirety of everything that he had learned from a wide variety of sources—that the most likely masterminds of the JFK assassination were operatives of Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad.
The remarkable truth is that—although Garrison apparently didn’t know it at the time, precisely because the facts had yet to be revealed—Garrison may have been on to something far more than he realized.
The public record now demonstrates that in 1963 JFK was embroiled in a bitter secret conflict with Israeli leader David Ben-Gurion over Israel’s drive to build the atomic bomb; that Ben- Gurion resigned in disgust, saying that because of JFK’s policies, Israel’s “existence [was] in danger.” Then upon JFK’s assassination, U.S. policy toward Israel began an immediate 180-degree turnaround.
Israeli historian Avner Cohen’s new book, Israel and the Bomb, confirms the conflict between JFK and Israel so powerfully that Israel’s Ha’aretz declared Cohen’s revelations would “necessitate the rewriting of Israel’s entire history.” From Israel’s perspective, writes Cohen, “Kennedy’s demands [on Israel] seemed diplomatically inappropriate … inconsistent with national sovereignty.” In any case, Cohen pointed out, “The transition from Kennedy to [Lyndon] Johnson … benefited the Israeli nuclear program.” CHAPTER 10 (97).
Ethan Bronner, in the New York Times, called Israel’s drive to build a nuclear bomb “a fiercely hidden subject.” This explains why JFK researchers—and Jim Garrison—never considered an Israeli angle.
While all of this presents a strong motive for Israel to strike against JFK, even maverick Israeli journalist Barry Chamish acknowledges that there exists “a pretty cogent case” for Mossad collaboration with the CIA in the assassination conspiracy.
The fact is that when Jim Garrison prosecuted Clay Shaw with conspiracy in the assassination, Garrison had stumbled upon the Mossad link.
Although (after his acquittal) Shaw was revealed to have been a CIA asset, in 1963 Shaw also served on the board of a Rome-based company, Permindex, which was (the evidence suggests) actually a front for a Mossad-sponsored arms procurement operation. | <urn:uuid:d1315597-fe6b-4616-a1d1-ee9d1220415a> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://afpstore.americanfreepress.net/product/dirty-secrets-crime-conspiracy-cover-up-during-the-20th-century/ | 2020-08-13T05:59:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738960.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813043927-20200813073927-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.957221 | 2,927 | [

- Frequently asked questions
- How to Win Keno: History Lessons at Players’ Service
Without a doubt, to understand how to win keno, one doesn’t need to review its origins. In addition, the game has changed significantly since its invention, so its historical background doesn’t present much useful information on how to win in modern keno. However, as you will soon notice, keno is not about rushing or building complicated strategies, so a short overview of its origins is certainly worth your attention!
When the game appeared in ancient China, the first people to wonder “how do you play keno?” didn’t actually view it as just a leisure activity. Back then, the keno lottery was an essential way of raising funds for the government. Some even state that the construction of the Great Wall was funded through selling keno tickets!
And while this story is just a legend, here are some proven facts: by 1847, the whole city of Macau was wondering how to play keno and win since that year, the local government legalized gambling activities. However, the game was popular only among Chinese people, as keno tickets didn’t include Arabic numbers back then. Instead, they used Chinese hieroglyphics, restricting all other nations from accessing the game.
The answer to “how to play keno lotto?” changed drastically during the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad construction, when Chinese immigrants, who were mostly working on the building sites, introduced the game to the locals. Americans simplified the game and made it available to everyone, turning keno into a widespread leisure activity, which is now popular all over the world. So, how to play Daily Keno and other varieties of the game?
Curious How to Play Keno and Win? Review the Game’s Rules First!
Keno is a typical lottery game, which involves picking numbers in hope that they would match with randomly picked winning numbers. These, in different variants of keno, can be chosen either by a computer or any other method that guarantees unpredictable results.
How many numbers do you need to win keno? Commonly, each ticket includes 80 numbers, and you can pick 20 out of them. The amount of money you can win in keno depends on how many numbers you pick correctly. For instance, one number wouldn’t bring you anything while 20 out of 20 correct answers would lead to immense payouts. And there is no wonder that we cannot answer how to win at keno every time. According to the probability theory, your chances of getting a certain number of hits are as follows:
|0||1 in 843.380|
|5||1 in 4.287|
|10||1 in 253.801|
|15||1 in 41,751,453.986|
|20||1 in 3,535,316,142,212,174,320.000|
How to Win Keno Lottery: Applying a Scientific Approach to Gambling
The question “how to win at keno” is as old as the game itself, and no one has ever come up with a proven way of winning keno games yet. Keno is a very random game, so there is no way of predicting which numbers would win in the upcoming round. What’s more, the introduction of modern technologies has made keno absolutely fair, which, in this case, means absolutely random.
In their search for how to win keno lottery, professional gamblers have revealed that keno has a relatively high house edge (5% to 35%), which means that the casino always has an advantage while the players inevitably lose. Should this prevent you from playing keno? Not at all.
How to Win at Keno Every Time: Is the Game Really That Random?
Unfortunately, it really is. No one knows how to win Club Keno, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the luxurious atmosphere of the casino and the excitement of gambling while playing keno. This game would also be less costly than any other gambling activity since a usual keno ticket is worth around $5, and every round lasts approx. 10 minutes, so you would hardly waste much money on keno.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best numbers to play in keno?

Lars Ulrich thinks Metallica’s desire to do things differently could be fuelled more by his upbringing in Denmark than by anger.
He’s proud of the fact that they’ve never done things by the book, and argues that the attitude is commonplace in the country of his birth.
Speaking on Swedish radio, Ulrich says: “A lot of people ask me about the presence of anger in my creative process.
“A lot of people that play rock grew up in broken homes, with problematic and rebellious relationships with their parents and their surroundings. I never had one of those.
“What fuelled me towards harder rock was the energy, the sense of belonging to something greater. Anger and hostility was never a driving force.”

- Motorhead: "There are mistakes on No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith. Life ain't perfect"
- 21 guitarists who look scared out of their mind
He adds that he’s always had “a fairly easy relationship with being contrary” and continues: “I think a lot of Danish people are quite contrarian. If somebody says, ‘Let’s go left,’ then Danish people will go, ‘Let’s go right.’
“I think Metallica has always enjoyed floating around in our own little bubble, being outsiders, living in our own world, being contrary and a little bit opposite of what everybody else embraces.
“We never particularly felt like we fit into anything – Metallica has always enjoyed an element of contrary energy. Metallica has always enjoyed jumping off a cliff, and then, on our way down, trying to figure out where we’re going to land.” | <urn:uuid:29e068d3-ae89-4614-b1f5-d2abd37c56f2> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.loudersound.com/news/metallica-lars-ulrich-not-angry-danish-attitude | 2021-11-28T14:50:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358560.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128134516-20211128164516-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.967967 | 386 | [

If the heat in the Auckland housing market is largely due to a lack supply, the Reserve Bank may not be pleased to hear reports from the Registered Master Builders Federation that the looming loan-to-value speed limits are slowing construction.
Chief executive Warwick Quinn said he had heard from many builders in the past fortnight who had lost potential clients and seen their inquiry levels fall dramatically since the move to force banks to cut low-deposit lending was announced.
He said companies that specialised in the low-deposit new home market had seen an immediate impact.
He was aware of one larger company that had already been forced to lay off staff and restructure its operation as a significant percentage of its business was constructing homes for low-deposit customers.
Quinn said: “New homes form 15%-20% of all house sales and while it is unclear how many of those require high LVR lending, anecdotal evidence puts it at around 15%. That’s some 3000 new homes that are at risk of not being built going forward, which, if that happened, will put the construction sector back about two years. That has significant flow on effects to the economy, housing affordability and stalls construction sector expansion.”
The fact that construction dropped off during the recession has been pointed to as a reason for the current hot housing market, because supply has not kept pace with demand.
Quinn's organization has met with the Reserve Bank. Quinn said there was a case for new homes to be exempt from the policy.
He said there was a danger that banks could stop lending for construction projects, because of their complexity.
“I would hate to think banks decide to shut up shop on construction given the alternative existing house market has shorter time frame, is less complex and thus potentially more attractive.”

Until pretty recently the MidWest was a bit of a no mans land for grappling tournaments. Sure the IBJJF comes to Chicago a few times a year but other than that it’s mostly small events with a few NAGA tournaments thrown in for good measure. Next week USBJJ will be running their Midwest NoGi Grappling Championship in Milwaukee, WI. The tournament offers divisions for all levels and age brackets as well as a $500 cash prize to the winner of the Pro Absolute bracket. We sat down with the folks at USBJJ to get a little more information on them and what we can expect at the tournament on July 27th.
1. What makes USBJJ tournaments stand out from others in the area?
We are working hard to create something more than your standard Jiu Jitsu tournament, we want to create a Jiu Jitsu experience. To do this we are going the extra mile to create this experience for competitors and spectators.
Above and beyond the features you come to expect at a higher end tournament: Electronic bracketing, big top-quality medals, team trophy, cash payout for absolute, etc. We hired two professional photographers and a videographer to capture high-quality action shots of all the competitors matches. These will be made available for free after the tournament.
Additionally, the best photo, video & most active user posting content on the #USBJJLive hashtag on twitter, instagram or facebook will win a $100 gift card to BJJ LIFE clothing. This is available for competitors or spectators to win.
Lastly, we have a wide range of brackets including kids, teens, masters and then the standard men’s, women’s and $500 cash prize absolute.
2. What can the competitors expect for their tournament experience?
Being long time competitors ourselves, our two pet-peeves with tournaments are poor bracketing organization and unqualified refs. To ensure this does not happen at our tournament, we will be using an electronic bracketing system that will make bracketing and the flow of the tournament extremely smooth.
We are bringing in Jonatas Novaes (BJJ Black Belt & world champ) who is a certified IBJJF referee to run our ref team. Additionally, most of our other referees are brown or black belts with years of experience.
3. Are their going to be booths, sponsors, etc… ?
A number of our sponsors will have booths there to showcase their products and have equipment and apparel for sale. Plan on bringing some extra cash to the tournament to pick-up some goodies and support our sponsors for helping the Jiu Jitsu community.
4. What are some basic details for the potential competitors to know?
All the details on the tournament can be found on our website (USBJJ.com), but for a quick recap, here’s the lowdown on all the details for competitors:
- Bayview High School in Milwaukee on July 27th
- 1.5 hour straight shot north of Chicago
- Pre-Registration ends 7/21/13
- Free t-shirts and $10 discount
- Our absolute division boasts a $500 prize for first place
- We have mens, womens, kids, teens and masters divisions
- Friday night weigh-ins for all divisions are from 6-7:30 at Bayview High School
- We are following IBJJF rules
- Only exception is tie matches will be decided by ref based on aggression, not pure advantages (although advantages and aggression have a high correlation)
- Team award for team who has the most overall competitor points
- Standard NOGI clothing is acceptable. There are no restrictions on colors for rank.
5. What kind of a turn out are you expecting?
This is our first tournament in the Midwest so we don’t have a benchmark to go against. We don’t want it to be a mega-sized event where you’re there for 8 hours because of lack of organization. Instead, we would rather have a small-medium sized tournament that run extremely efficiently and delivers an amazing experience to all the competitors and spectators.
6. Anything else you can think of?
I’d just give everyone a little bump to check out our website for all the detailed information and see our twitter (@USBJJ) or Facebook because we are very transparent and are posting pictures of lots of the tournament medals, signs, awards, etc.
Also, tell people to avoid the lines by pre-registering (and they get $10 discount and free tee). But must pre-register on USBJJ.com by Sunday July 21st. | <urn:uuid:84e7cea4-916f-4fe1-9f75-adff44d958e3> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://bjjlegends.com/2013/07/usbjj-midwest-jiu-jitsu-championships/ | 2021-12-01T18:38:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360881.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201173718-20211201203718-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.942545 | 950 | [

United Nations Conference
on the Arms Trade Treaty
9th Meeting* (PM)
Flood of Weapons, Ammunition into Countries under Sanctions Shows Current
Control Systems Do Not Work, Conference on Arms Trade Treaty Told
President of Liberia Cites $2.2 Billion Worth of Guns
Flowing into Targeted Countries despite United Nations, Regional Embargoes
The $2.2 billion worth of arms and ammunition that found their way into targeted countries in spite of United Nations and regional arms embargoes imposed on Liberia and other countries was proof that the current system was not working, the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty heard today as it concluded the high-level segment of its discussions.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia said in a video message to the Conference that her own country’s experience and those of other States in Africa and other parts of the world showed that without such a treaty, armed violence and wars would continue to be fuelled by irresponsible arms transfers. “As a development economist, I am acutely aware of the devastation to African economies due to armed violence,” she added.
“One cannot but be appalled by the cost of conflicts for Africa, which loses at least $18 billion a year,” she continued. “This is money our continent can ill afford to lose.” By contrast, in 2008, the Millennium Development Goals Steering Group had identified an annual requirement of $14 billion to scale up effective HIV prevention and universal access to AIDS treatment across the continent, she noted.
The representative of the United States said the international community should strengthen international peace and security, as well as the rule of law, by requiring the universal establishment of responsible national standards for the arms trade, but warned that a treaty should not in any way handicap the legitimate right of self-defence.
He said that lawfully conducted international arms transfers, managed according to transparent national control practices, were vital to maintaining good governance, protecting citizens and upholding international security, consistent with the United Nations Charter, he added.
Exporting Governments should be obliged to weigh carefully whether a potential recipient of conventional arms would use them or divert them for criminal or other unacceptable or inhumane purposes, he continued. That was why the United States supported establishing additional criteria that each Government must consider carefully before authorizing the export of conventional arms.
For his part, the representative of Lesotho warned that regulating international trade in some weapons while excluding others from the scope of a treaty would run counter to the aims of the Conference. Urging the inclusion of small arms and light weapons in the treaty, he said they were of great concern to many African countries, including his own. They were the “real weapons of mass destruction”, accounting for daily loss of life and the commission of many crimes. The inclusion of ammunition, parts, and components in the treaty was crucial, he added.
Speaking in a similar vein, the Deputy Secretary-General of the East African Community said small arms and light weapons posed the most serious threat to peace and security in that subregion.
The observer for the Holy See said the Treaty should have a broad scope and go beyond the seven categories considered by the United Nations Registry of Conventional Arms to include small arms and light weapons, their ammunition and the licensing technologies involved in their production. References to human rights, humanitarian law and development must also be included in the treaty, he said, adding that basic principles should recall respect for human dignity and human life, peace and security, development and fundamental human rights, which were essential for collective security.
Also addressing the Conference today were representatives of Mongolia, Botswana, Cameroon, United Kingdom (speaking on behalf of China, France, Russian Federation and the United States), Kenya, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Ghana and Togo.
The Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and United Nations Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator also addressed the Conference.
Representatives of Syria and Iran made statements in exercise of the right of reply.
The representatives of Morocco and the Netherlands, respective Chairs of the Conference’s Main Committees One and Two, presented their reports, before hearing comments by representatives of Algeria, Iran, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Indonesia, Egypt, Syria, Kenya, Cuba, Pakistan, Nigeria and India.
The Conference will reconvene in plenary on a date to be announced.
Delegates to the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty met this afternoon to continue their general exchange of views in continuation of the negotiations towards a comprehensive, legally binding instrument establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional weapons. (For background, see Press Releases DC/3361 and DC/3362 of 3 July 2012.)
ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF, President of Liberia, in a video message to the Conference, said that her country’s experience, along with the experiences of other countries in Africa and elsewhere, showed that without an instrument like an arms trade treaty, armed violence would continue to be fuelled by irresponsible arms transfers. Even with a United Nations and regional arms embargo on Liberia and other countries, more than $2.2 billion worth of arms and ammunition found their way into the targeted countries, thus proving that the current system, without a treaty, was not working. The case of bullets and ammunition reminded the international community of how their absence during the battle of Monrovia between rival armed groups in June 2003 temporarily ended the terror on that city’s population until fresh and illegal supplies arrived. That was why a treaty needed to not only regulate transfers of small arms and light weapons, but also must regulate the bullets and ammunition, which actually killed people and without which guns might be reduced to silence and peace efforts would bear fruit.
Acutely aware of the devastation to African economies due to armed violence, she said that one could not but be appalled by the fact that that the continent lost at least $18 billion a year due to conflicts. That was money it could ill afford to lose. In 2008, the Millennium Development Goals Africa Steering Group identified an annual requirement of $14 billion to scale up effective HIV prevention and universal access to AIDS treatment across the continent. Considering that all low- and lower-middle-income countries, which allocated more than 10 per cent of central Government expenditure to the military in 2009, scored poorly on corruption indices that year, a robust arms trade treaty must create anti-corruption standards which States could use to assess specific transfers on a case by case basis.
She expressed appreciation for the work of civil society organizations which had helped the Liberian people to access much needed food, water and medicines when there was hardly a functioning Government. When States forgot that they existed first and foremost to protect their citizens, it was vital that civil society continued to remind them of their responsibilities and obligations. It was crucial that the international community support the diligence and perseverance of non-governmental organizations, which had for many years spearheaded the arms trade treaty process and which must press on “until the very last minute” of the negotiations.
ENKHTSETSEG OCHIR ( Mongolia) said that in her country, the Academy of Medical Sciences and Amnesty International Mongolia were actively collecting signatures in support of the treaty. The establishment of a strong, robust but effective legally binding instrument could ensure the highest possible common international standards for the transfer of conventional arms. That, in turn, she stated, would prevent illicit trade and supply to terrorist groups and countries committing serious and systematic violations of international humanitarian law or human rights. In that regard, it was important that the future treaty had “clearly defined goals” and required States to implement effective national controls based on those common standards.
However, she continued, the treaty also needed to protect the inalienable right of States to manufacture, import, export, transfer and retain conventional arms for self-defence and security needs and for participation in peacekeeping operations. The Treaty, therefore, needed to be inclusive of major arms trading States. It also needed to include all conventional arms, including small arms and light weapons, and ammunition, and she urged that a transparency mechanism be incorporated into the treaty. Concluding, she emphasized the need for international cooperation and assistance, especially in developing countries, and voiced her support of the Chair’s 3 July discussion paper as a “viable starting point”.
CHARLES T. NTWAAGAE ( Botswana), commending the video messages from the President of Liberia, underscored his country’s commitment to a “strong and robust” treaty that would successfully curb the illicit transfer of conventional weapons at national, regional and global levels. Further, he supported the inclusion of small arms and light weapons as well as ammunition in such an instrument. However, for successful implementation of the treaty, international cooperation, including benchmarking exercises, capacity -building, and information and technology exchange, was essential. In that regard, Member States’ pledges towards some assistance to developing countries in implementing the proposed treaty was encouraging and he called for the creation of an implementation support unit that would, among others, match needs with resources.
Concluding, he stated that the Security Council sanctions and arms embargoes should be the main criteria for applying the treaty. He also said that each State Party should reserve the right to allow import or export of arms that the treaty would cover, as long as such transfers not be made to States which violated international human rights or humanitarian law.
DONALD MAHLEY (United States) said that his country sought a treaty that established high international standards for controlling the transfer of arms on par with best practices. A key benefit of such standards would be to reduce illicit arms trafficking. The international community as a whole suffered from illicit trafficking, which armed repressive regimes, criminal syndicates, insurgent groups and terrorist organizations, and weakened legitimate Governments and the rule of law. The international community must create additional barriers to illicit and irresponsible international arms transfers to those who had little regard for the most fundamental standards of decency and civilization.
In that regard, he said that the United States underscored its objection to selection of Iran to the ceremonial role of a Vice President of the Arms Trade Treaty Conference. That country’s long record of weapons proliferation, illicit nuclear activities and flagrant human rights abuses grossly disqualified it from serving in any such capacity in the United Nations. At a time when Iran was violating its United Nations Security Council obligations, including by helping to rearm Hizbullah in Lebanon and providing weapons to Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad’s regime to use to slaughter its own people, that selection made a mockery of the Conferences underlying purposes and undermined the credibility of the United Nations. The United States rejected the legitimacy of Iran’s claimed capacity to play any credible role in the Conference.
Lawfully conducted international transfers of arms managed according to transparent national control practices were vital to maintaining good governance, protecting citizens and upholding international security consistent with the United Nations Charter, he went on. The arms trade treaty should not, in any way, handicap the legitimate right of self-defence. Acting together, the international community could strengthen international peace and security and the rule of law by requiring universal establishment of responsible national standards for the arms trade. States were already obligated to abide by Security Council arms embargos, but an arms trade treaty should reinforce that fundamental obligation.
In addition, exporting Governments should be obliged to weigh carefully whether a potential recipient of conventional arms was going to use or divert them for criminal or other unacceptable or inhumane purposes. That was why his country supported establishing additional criteria that each Government must consider carefully before authorizing the export of conventional arms. In order for the treaty to be effective, it must cover the widest range of conventional weapons as was practical from small arms to aircraft carriers. Today, only a quarter of Member States had developed legal controls regarding their international arms trade. The common goal was to have a treaty at the end of the month that would require States Parties to regulate their international arms trade according to their own constitutional and legal structures.
It should be acknowledged that the negotiations were not an attempt to intrude, either in principle or in process, into States’ internal activities, laws or practices concerning the domestic possession, use or movement of arms, he said.
TOMMO MONTHE ( Cameroon) said a treaty was “more than ever a moral and humanitarian necessity” that would free countries from the extremely liberalized weapons trade. The protection of populations, infrastructure and civil society, specifically those of developing States, was crucial, he said, adding that broad adherence to regulation of the conventional weapons trade would benefit all countries in all regions. He expressed concern about the uncontrolled circulation of small arms and light weapons, citing their use in multiple conflicts which challenged international security. Due to the impact of uncontrolled arms movement in West Africa, it was vital to include regulations covering small arms, light weapons, ammunition and parts used to repair and assemble weapons.
He said his country was a party to the Declaration of Sao Tomé and also adhered to Protocol V of the United Nations convention that addressed unexploded abandoned weapons which could be fed into the black market. While noting the need for a flexible treaty, he said its scope must be broad, not only covering small arms, light weapons and ammunition, but also the regulation of all activities of the weapons trade — imports, exports, transhipment, gifts, licensing, manufacturing and brokering. A treaty should also have elements of transparency, including obligatory reporting and commitments to assist developing countries. In this regard, the establishment of the Implementation Support Unit would be indispensible, he said.
Ms. ADAMSON (United Kingdom), making proposals for the negotiating process on behalf of China, France, Russian Federation, and the United States, said “Authorization and Notification Systems” should be merged into one section in the negotiating document to ensure equally tight controls over arms transferred. She also proposed that the “Criteria or Parameters” section and the “Enforcement” section be moved to “National Implementation”. In addition, reporting, transparency and national contact points were more appropriately placed under international cooperation.
MAFIROANE MOTANYANE ( Lesotho) said the treaty represented a collective effort that would lead to the removal of threats to peace or “at least minimize them”. Developing a legally binding instrument that would establish the highest possible common international standards was necessary as existing national, regional and international arms transfer control measures had been proven wanting in many respects, although they provided a good basis upon which the treaty could be built. However, the regulation of international trade in some weapons while excluding others from the scope of the Treaty ran counter to the aims of the Conference, he noted, calling for the inclusion of small arms and light weapons.
He went on to point out that such weapons were of great concern to many African countries, emphasizing that they were the “real weapons of mass destruction”, accounting for daily loss of life and the commission of many crimes. In that regard, inclusion in the treaty of ammunition, parts and components was crucial, he stressed, urging compromise so that a broad scope could be incorporated into the treaty so as to make it implementable without weakening its effectiveness. Further, the treaty must be relevant to all States, whether exporters or importers of conventional weapons, while promoting transparency and without compromising the legitimate security of States. In that regard, it was important that the treaty be “unambiguous” and the transfer criteria be clear, objective and easy to follow.
JOSEPHINE OJIAMBO (Kenya), stating that the video message from the President of Liberia was “a wake-up call” to the international community, echoed Ms. Johnson Sirleaf’s reminder of the devastation armed violence wrought on African communities, especially on the women and children living there. To that end, it was essential to include in the treaty small arms, light weapons and ammunition. She concluded with thanks to the civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations for their “sustained involvement” in the treaty negotiation process.
ARCHBISHOP FRANCIS CHULLIKATT, Observer of the Holy See, said his delegation continued to believe that an arms trade treaty could make an important difference for millions of people confronted with insecurity, deprivation and fear linked to the unregulated and irresponsible transfer of arms and ammunition and the illicit acquisition of such by criminal and non-State actors. The treaty would help in the promotion of a world more respectful of human life and human dignity. The core objective of the treaty would not merely be the regulation of conventional arms trade but was, above all, the disarming of the international illicit market. That needed to be underlined so as to place the human person at the center of the treaty.
He said that the treaty should provide strong and credible review and update mechanisms in order to enable the expeditious incorporation of new developments in the framework of the treaty, which must be open to possible future technological developments. In order to reinforce the provisions, more effective assistance for victims could be achieved by promoting a process focused on the reduction of the number of victims through the intensification of the prevention of illicit arms proliferation and a reduction in the overall trade in arms. It was such trade that fuelled conflicts and instability and impeded the course of development and peace. The arms trade treaty should not only be focused on the supply side of the arms trade but should also provide some elements relating to the demand for side arms which often fed the illicit market.
JULIUS ROTICH, Deputy Secretary-General of the East African Community (EAC), underscored the need for an arms trade treaty as a tool for combating the illicit trade in conventional weapons. The East African Community believed that in its region, small arms and light weapons posed the most serious threat to stability and development. It, therefore, hoped that the treaty would reflect the importance which the region attached to those weapons.
The implementation arrangement for the treaty would require in-built technical support to states in their effort to undertake the implementation, he said. He then paid tribute to civil society organizations for the work they had undertaken to contribute to the debate on the treaty over the past six years and said that the East African Community looked forward to their continued contribution to the negotiating process.
CATHERINE BRAGG, Assistant Secretary-General, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), speaking on behalf of ten United Nations agencies and other humanitarian actors, stated that the international community now had the opportunity to regulate the trade of arms and, in doing so, reduce the widespread killing and wounding of civilians, especially women and children. It was also an opportunity to prevent human displacement, as millions of civilian were forced to seek refuge across the borders because of the widespread use of weapons.
Continuing, she said that the current meeting was an opportunity to address access to humanitarian support, as well as the establishment of measures to prevent the attacks and killing of humanitarian workers, numbering in the hundreds since 2000. The human cost of poorly regulate trade required a treaty, she stressed, and it needed to be effective. It should contain, among others, components for States to assess the risk of weapons being transferred and refrain from authorizing such transfer if there was risk that the weapons would be used to commit violations of the treaty. She also noted that the popularity of certain small weapons was due to the availability of ammunition and thus, it was necessary to include the regulation of ammunition in the treaty. Concluding, she called for the delegates to place humanitarian concerns at the forefront of all efforts toward this Treaty.
ABIODUN RICHARDS ADEJOLA (Nigeria) said that the pains of devastation, destruction and inhumanity caused by the transfer and misuse of conventional arms and small arms and light weapons had been demonstrated through the statement by the President of Liberia. Nigeria and other countries in the West Africa region had borne the cost of the unnecessary wars and mayhem resulting from the illicit arms trade. His country restated that small arms and light weapons should be unambiguously included in the scope of an arms trade treaty. In that regard, the international community could not afford “a slip back to the dark days”.
JOSÉ IKONGO ( Democratic Republic of the Congo) called for consensus on the treaty so that a robust instrument that represented the highest standards in the international community would be ensured. To that end, the treaty needed to regulate the supply of arms in conflict-affected regions. The establishment of such rules and common principles were timely and of utmost importance. His country was currently “suffering from the scourge” and he believed that such a treaty would help ensure States acted responsibly. Further, the treaty needed to be universal so that it could be adopted by the greatest number of States.
Further, to bring States to norms that were transparent, he encouraged the adoption of national systems of export, among others. He urged that the treaty include limitations on munitions and parts in zones of instability, and called for transparency in the transferring of weapons. Civil society needed to be included in the negotiation of the treaty, as well, and that a dialogue with manufacturers of arms would also benefit efforts. Concluding, he expressed hope that the treaty would be effective in alleviating the suffering of populations in various areas of the planet affected by the use of such weapons.
Mr. SANGARE (Mali) said that his country loved peace and had, for a period of 20 years, done everything to achieve it. Mali had not forgotten defence, however. Two months before presidential elections in the country, everything had changed and there had been an occupation of two thirds of its territory by rebels. That chaos had revived “old specters”. Timbuktu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, had been destroyed. That “black page” in the country’s history was the result of events following the Arab Spring whose ultimate outcome had been the current situation in his country. Mali, therefore, wanted to see a solid arms trade treaty.
KODZO ALABO ( Ghana) echoed the President of Liberia’s call for the inclusion of small arms and light weapons in the arms trade treaty, stating that it was a very important and necessary part of the scope of the final instrument.
ALI NADJOMBE ( Togo) said that ending the proliferation of arms was part of the pacification of the African continent which would bring stability and make Africa secure. Regulation contributed to this goal and he stated his full support for concluding and adopting a treaty that would make it possible to regulate the arms trade. However, objectives needed to be clearly defined so that future application would be smooth. There were populations in parts of the West African region that were “distressed” because of uncontrolled weapons movement. To that end, the treaty would be incomplete if the regulation of small arms and light weapons not be included.
Rights of Reply
The representative of Syria, making a statement in exercise of the right of reply, said that the representative of the United States had used the Conference as a forum to cast doubt on the process of electing its officers. He had also made allegations and unacceptable remarks that did not conform to Syria’s position, and had attacked the President of Syria. The United States should be the last country to talk about morality in the arms trade, he said, pointing out that it had been providing non-State parties and separatist organizations with weapons in several parts of the world. In addition, it had provided Israel, over the decades, with arms that had been used, and were still being used, to kill Arabs and occupy Arab lands. Furthermore, cooperation between the United States and Israel in the military nuclear field was a flagrant violation of the former’s obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, he said.
The representative of Iran said the United States delegation had made totally irrelevant allegations against his country, but he would not dignify them with a response. Rather he was seizing the opportunity to ask whether it was Iran or the United States that was a peace-loving nation. There was no record of aggression in Iranian history since 350 years ago. United States history, however, was replete with aggression in all parts of the world, the latest having taken place in the Middle East. Iran was proud of having defended its territory in the war imposed on it by Saddam (Hussein), including with chemical weapons and with support from the United States. Iran had not sent its weapons to kill people to any part of the world, but the United States sent weapons to enable Israel to kill Palestinians, for example. The Israeli regime relied on its big patron, the United States, to commit all kinds of war crimes, he said, adding that Iran was proud of having toppled its own United States-backed dictator.
Reports by Committee Chairs
BOUCHAIB ELOUMNI ( Morocco), Chair, Committee One, said his Committee was ready for negotiations, and he had already received proposals from delegations in the form of treaty language. That would help move forward to preparing a text. However, such was not the case for all chapters and sections, he cautioned. The Committee was moving at different speeds on different chapters, but there was cause for confidence that the Committee would be able to move forward on negotiating treaty language, and that it would be starting tomorrow on goals and objectives.
PAUL VAN DEN IJSSEL (Netherlands), Chair, Committee Two, said that body had discussed all assigned topics and it was fair to say that, in general, it had not been able to bridge certain gaps and different views. Some had converged but many had not yet done so. Stating that it was now necessary to “move into a higher gear”, he said he would be preparing documents on each topic that would reflect the different views of States parties. In that process of condensing, the Chair would seek a convergence of views, he said, noting that many delegations had helped by sending in specific treaty language. He added that he sensed that the Committee wished to negotiate and believed it would succeed.
Statement by Conference Chair
ROBERTO GARCIA MORITAN ( Argentina), Conference Chair, noted that despite the encouraging spirit of the process, the reports reflected that the dynamism needed to carry out tasks as mandated had not been fully achieved. “The outcome of our work depends solely on our efforts,” he stressed, urging delegations to translate those efforts into sentences and concepts that would allow an accommodation of differences. It was necessary to show flexibility if a shared vision was to be achieved. The future in the Arms Trade Treaty was “here and now”, he emphasized, encouraging delegations to “really get down to work”. He also underscored the need to set doubts aside and focus on the concrete matters at hand. “With too many doubts, at the end of the day we condemn the future,” he said.
Several representatives questioned the methods by which each Committee would engage to develop the “rolling text”, expressing concerns that the procedure for developing such a text must be consistent in both Committees. The representative of Syria said “this is a single conference adopting a single document”, while his counterpart from Cuba questioned whether the text would reflect the views of the Committee Chair or proposals from various delegations.
The Conference Chair responded by stating that since each Committee was charged with different topics, each Chair would discuss with his Committee the manner in which a rolling text would be developed. Their guidance would bring such a text into negotiations and deliberations would proceed from there. Furthermore, it seemed that the topics had not matured as hoped, he noted, adding that it would, therefore, be premature to refer to a rolling text at the present point. However, there was cause for full confidence that the Chairs would be talking with their Committees as to how best to proceed as discussions matured. It was difficult to know the direction until that happened, he said, likening the process to “a puzzle”.

Delivery and Returns Policy
a) For the registration we need the full name of the applicant, the address as well as the mobile phone number and email. Invoices are sent by email. We do not send any letter post
b) As soon as we have received your first payment (registration fee € 20 + course fee for the first four weeks), you will receive the access data for the classroom
c) As long as you want to take part in the class, you should transfer the course fee to us every four weeks after receiving the respective invoice. We also accept standing orders, which, however, should be received by us every month of the course (every 4 weeks) and not every calendar month, as the calendar months have 28 - 31 days, but we invoice the same amount every 4 weeks.
d) If you are unable to attend a lesson, for whatever reason, we still have to calculate the hour as the time is reserved for you. Via the Telegram communication bot, we offer the option of asking the teacher to reschedule the appointment in advance, but the teacher is not obliged to do so and is often not able to offer an alternative due to the tight schedule. If an appointment is to be postponed, it must be ensured that an alternative appointment is found in the same week. Otherwise, the lessons are automatically marked as received and billed. In short: If the teacher cannot or does not want to offer an alternative date in the same week, the lesson will be marked as received and billed.
e) If you fail to show up for class, the teacher will wait at most half of the planned class time. Then he/she leaves the classroom and the lesson is calculated as received
f) If the teacher is absent, please take a screenshot of the classroom showing the date, time and title of the meeting, as this is the only way to ensure that you have been waiting in the correct room. Without a screenshot, we still have to calculate the lessons in case of doubt
g) Exams and recordings of lessons may not be disseminated or shared with third parties
h) Books and teaching material may only be distributed or shared with third parties under certain circumstances and after consultation with the Academy
i) Regarding the exams in Arabic lessons: As soon as you have finished with the subject matter of a level, you have the opportunity to prepare for the exam for a week. Normal lessons are canceled on the day of the exam, but are calculated as one lesson because the exam has to be prepared and corrected. You will receive the exam by email, have 3 days to write it and should have completed it within 2 hours of opening it and then send it back to us by email.
j) If you do not want to receive any more lessons, we ask you to inform customer service in advance by email / WhatsApp / Telegram. Attention: The teacher has nothing to do with dismissals or financial matters. Cancellations and questions about prices and other concerns should therefore never be clarified via the Telegram communication bot, but only with customer service or accounting. As long as the customer service does not receive a written cancellation from you by email, WhatsApp or Telegram, we will invoice all lessons, regardless of whether you have participated or not.
k) The month of tuition paid in advance is non-refundable. However, if you have already paid several months in advance, you will receive the fee for all lessons that go beyond the current teaching month.
l) Please do not exchange any personal contact information (email, social media accounts, telephone numbers, Skype names, etc.) with the teacher. All lesson-related matters can be clarified via the Telegram communication bot, and the HA and teaching material can be exchanged without the need for further contact details from the teacher
m) By paying the registration fee or the monthly course fee, you automatically confirm that you agree to our terms and conditions and that you adhere to them
These provisions are an amaana before Allah.
