3. Maverick, Top Gun
It may not be his best movie or most nuanced performance, but when it comes to memorable Cruise characters, they don’t get much cooler than Maverick in Top Gun
. And no matter what you think of the man’s personal life, or his character’s insistence on playing volleyball in jeans, you can’t deny knowing most of this classic ‘80s action movie by heart. As a dangerously self-confident fighter pilot forced to learn to rein it in, Maverick taught guys everywhere two important lessons: never leave your wingman hanging, and what to do when you’re too close for missiles. No wonder even the mere mention of a possible sequel set the internet ablaze some 15 years later. | <urn:uuid:8e2467b2-9c53-457a-9e6c-a145f63bb14b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://uk.askmen.com/top_10/entertainment/top-ten-tom-cruise-manly-roles_3.html | 2021-12-06T11:47:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363292.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206103243-20211206133243-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.929554 | 160 | [

Above/featured: it’s as if I just pointed out a famous meeting place to her right (left for the reader).
Prague’s Old Town Square is one of the most visited landmarks, dominated by the two tall spires of the Church of our Lady before Týn, Old Town Hall, and a prominent sculpture dedicated to Czech icon Jan Hus at the centre of the square.
At the southeast corner of the square is a building called (Dům) U Kamenného beránka or “At the Stone Lamb” at address Staroměstské námesti 551/17 #. To the right of the building’s main entrance is a memorial plaque with an inscription in both Czech and English. The memorial plaque was created by Czech sculptor Zdenĕk Kolářský and unveiled in 1998. Looking closer, you’ll recognize Albert Einstein’s face and his famous physics equation stating mass-energy equivalence and written in cursive script: E = mc2.
Over a 16-month period from 1911 to 1912, Albert Einstein lived in Prague with his family and was full professor of theoretical physics at the German Charles-Ferdinand University. Einstein enjoyed hanging out at a number of cafes for conversations, exchanges, and music, and he was a frequent visitor to this building where Czech liberal and intellectual Berta Fanta operated a literary-philosophical salon or lounge. The salon saw visits by many intellectuals, both domestic and international. “Domestic” writers Franz Kafka and Max Brod would have come here for the discourse as well, but it turns out little is actually known about whether all three arranged to meet or would have met here at the same time. | <urn:uuid:7b7eb367-d65b-4195-abf3-c96e703d9c15> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://fotoeins.com/tag/max-brod/ | 2021-12-08T04:06:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363437.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208022710-20211208052710-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.953029 | 370 | [

One of my friends is not having the pleasure of a good night’s sleep since last month as her spouse is glued to his phone all the time.
He is always online on his Instagram account even when she is next to him.
It was bothering her a lot and finally, she decided to have peace of mind. She consulted me, who happened to be a tech-geek, and showed her will to spy on her spouse’s Instagram account. She indeed made a bold choice but it was much needed to know the truth.
As a good friend, I decided to help her. Based on my experience in technologies, I suggested her very powerful and feature-rich Instagram spying app.
Yes. They do exist. But, you need to pick the right one to resolve your concern. What my friend was going through was terrible and you can witness it as well. So, read this article as I am going to share some interesting facts about that Instagram spy app here.
Spyic – The Unswerving Instagram Spy of the Century
Spyic is what you need to spy an Instagram account without human verification. This is a highly advanced Instagram spy that will help you find out everything on a private Instagram account.
It already has been trusted by millions of people. Its customers come from every nook and corner of the world and they all are happy to choose it over any other random Instagram spy solutions.
Its operation and performance were so impressive that many leading media houses stand-up in its support and sang in its praise. We know that our telling is not enough to staunch your trust in it.
You need more solid proof and detailed insight into how things work at Spyic front. Hence, here is a quick overview of how Spyic works.
Spyic works without rooting/jailbreak
More than half of the Instagram spy solutions that exist in the world depend on rooting/jailbreak. These two activities involve human verification, toying around with the targeted OS, and many other risky jobs.
Sometimes, the risks are too big and too scary that people prefer not to use them. But this is not the case with Spyic. Its technology is free from rooting/jailbreak which means all the traditional risks that are assumed to haunt for eternity no longer exist.
Also, it doesn’t save the data on the server while online data transferring. This is one more way to remain stress-free while using Spyic for Instagram spying.
All these things indicate towards one thing- if you don’t want to get besieged with risks after risks while using an Instagram spying app then use Spyic.
Instagram spying is everyone’s cup of tea
Instagram spying used to be a job handled by professional spy solutions. Only they were considered eligible to understand the complexity of the job and accomplish it without any worries. But, Spyic has made it something that anyone can do.
Spyic for iOS comes with a browser-based interface that works without any downloading and installation.
As long as you know the iCloud details of the targeted iPhone, have an active internet connection, any data-driven device, and a handy browser, you can bring it into action and start spying.
Spyic for Android is also a very precisely designed app that is less than 2MB in size and shares 99% similarities with other regular Android apps.
The compact size makes the entire installation only a 5-minute show while the already-known set-up process won’t make you confused.
If you still face any hurdles, you can find out the lime demo for both its iOS and Android solutions on the website. Then there is a dedicated customer care system that is all ears for your queries.
It has got your back always
Spyic for Android comes with a stealth mode that hides the presence of this app on the targeted phone. Though the app will be present on the targeted phone, no one will be able to mark its presence. It will work in a super clandestine manner.
Its dashboard is also web-based and can work without asking for any involvement of the targeted device. All data will be delivered directly to you. No notification and update will be sent on the targeted device.
In short, nothing will seem fishy and you will never get caught in the act.
Can Spyic help you monitor a private account as well?
Yes, it will. Spyic comes with a very powerful keylogger. Using this keylogger, you can easily record the keystrokes happening on the targeted device. So, when the target will type the Instagram account password, you will know it.
Once you have the password, you can log in to the targeted Instagram account and become it’s a clandestine owner. You will gain admin like access to that private Instagram account and find out every detail.
How quick and reliable is Spyic?
Spyic is 100% reliable and it can capture the data as soon as activities occur.
Spyic’s technology is able to capture real-time data. As every entry comes with an attached timestamp, its viability can be checked instantly.
How pocket heavy Spyic is?
Well, Spyic is not at all pocket heavy. In fact, this is the most cost-effective deal that you can make after jelly gummies. All of its features and facilities are available at $10 per month cost. At this cost, you can monitor the Instagram account of one Android or iOS user.
If you want to monitor more than one Instagram account then also Spyic will help you. There are various subscriptions available on the website. With its corporate package, you can monitor around 25 Instagram accounts at a time.
Before wrapping up
Instagram spying doesn’t have to be risky, time-consuming, and pocket-heavy if you have the right solution by your side. Spyic is one such Instagram spy that works without asking any human verification and eating upon half of your bank balance.
As using it is very simple, you will face no hassle. So, don’t get worried when you smell something fishy about any Instagram account. Just monitor it with full confidence and unveil the truth. | <urn:uuid:db746080-3d40-4899-86ab-b2f29b4386dc> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.windowstechit.com/21101/how-to-spy-instagram-2020/ | 2021-12-08T04:46:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363437.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208022710-20211208052710-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.963059 | 1,281 | [

(This will be one of several entries describing hikes, botanical gardens and arboretum I visited in southern Arizona this April, 2015.)
Today Julie has work to do (She’s on a buying trip and I tagged along!) so I’m going out, down to the Phoenix South Mountain Preserve to hike a loop on the Bajada (the incline at the base of a mountain formed by the erosion of the mountain) and Alta (or high) trails. The Preserve, at over 16,000 acres is the largest municipal park in the US (Portland’s Forest Park pales at 5,172 acres.) I began my hike going the ‘wrong’ way on the Max Delta Trail having incorrectly read the directions so I added an unnecessary mile by the time I figured it out. The Bajada Trail climbs only 40’ but it constantly wends its way around rocky barriers and down and back up washes filled with tumbled granites…. The hike and region lies within the Sonoran Desert Scrub region, Sonoran, because the majority of the plants are sub-tropical in origin and are associated with the plants of Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental and Baja Region, not plants from the Rocky Mountain Plateau. The Salt River, that ‘flows’ south and west through Phoenix, is the northern boundary of this region, where the area becomes transitional as it gains elevation climbing to the Verde River and Mogollon Rim. Okay, too much.
The Sonoran Desert is characterized by Saguaro Cactus, the iconic tall, often armed, cactus that seems to stand incongruously across the landscape along with woody Legumes, like Palo Verde, Mesquite and Ironwood, among others. Uniquely the area has two wet seasons, the summer monsoonal thunderstorms that historically pass through with the beginning of July, originating from Baja and the southern Pacific; and the winter/early spring rains that begin in the northern Pacific, which dominate Oregon. The two ‘wet’ seasons split the annual total. Interestingly, as deserts, Central Oregon’s averages mimic those of the Phoenix and Tucson areas, at least in non-drought years. The much warmer average year round temperatures then obviously dry this area quickly so that many plants have adopted a broad shallow root system, like Cacti, to quickly draw up any precipitation they can or plants like the woody Legumes that send down deep tap roots and often occur in and around low spots, draws and washes where water tends to be available at depths.
The Bajada Trail traces the closed San Juan Rd between the two ridges, the Gila Range, to the south, this trail hugs, and the Ma Ha Tauk Range on the north side. The two Ranges create the narrow Bajada in the trough between them with the ridge tops just over a mile apart, straight line distance. It is a compressed and rugged landscape that is deceiving to the eye. The Bajada follows along near the base of the Gila. The air is still here and the two adjoining ridges tend to reflect and increase the heat. As I walked I began to discern patterns in the vegetation. There were few grasses and very few herbaceous perennials. This area was dominated by the woody Legumes with Saguaro scattered amongst them. This is characteristic of the Sonoran Desert Scrub biome which dominates the lower elevations throughout the Sonoran. The woody Legumes always increased in density in and near the draws/ washes thinning out elsewhere on the Bajada and in some drier/rocky areas being completely absent.
Nowhere were they much taller than 10’-12’. Fish Hook Barrel Cactus was much more prevalent here and, for the most part, was more plentiful than the Saguaro across the whole ten miles regardless of elevation and aspect. Very little bloom appears to have occurred this spring to date on them. Cholla are even less abundant along the Bajada with a few exceptions such as on rocky/even drier out-croppings and ‘bulges’. In a few of these places they dominated all other plantings.
Other plants like Brittle Bush and Creosote Bush were very common along the Bajada. Creosote Bush can form clonal colonies, forming rings as the old mature plant dies out that can be 50′ and more across and an estimated thousands of years old. At the same time, to establish seedlings takes several years of abnormally cool and moist weather, without it they die. Mature plants are very adept at pulling water from even dryish desert soils. And the resinous oils that it contains aid it reducing water loss. Successful desert plants have made amazing adaptations to their conditions.
At the west end of the Bajada, after it joined up with the National Trail leading me to the base of the big climb on the Alta Trail, it crosses San Juan Rd and there is a rest area, a shade structure built of rock, the San Juan Lookout. I met a local here and we talked about the trails and the changes he’s seen in the Phoenix area since he moved here with his family in ’63. He took the trail out to the road, the road I failed to find earlier and I began the climb, about 1,100’ in a mile, on rocky switchbacks that looked like they might cause a lot of slipping if you were coming down. I was glad to have my poles. The many switch-backs are visible as you climb as is the ‘Lookout’ at the base and the flat irrigated farm land that lies between the South Mountain Preserve and the Estrella Mountains to the west in the Gila River Valley. This trail climbs and then traverses the ridge bouncing up and down in elevation mostly on the north facing/ Phoenix side where a breeze helped cool me. This is really rugged terrain, with precipitous drops in places, narrow trails with many places where it had nearly washed out or suffered the erosion created by those taking shortcuts between switch-backs. The views to the north and south would be pretty spectacular were there no haze. The flatness of the land around all of the various mountains makes their appearance very pronounced. (Today’s high was supposed to be 86! Mild I’m told.) I think I was rationing water a little too tightly as the climb seemed more difficult than it should have been to 2,430’ (Phoenix’s downtown is at 1,117′).
This north side of the Alta Trail, because it is somewhat shadier/cooler, had considerably more herbaceous perennial material like Sphaeralcea (the Orange Globe Mallow) which was more abundant and blooming at higher elevations, Salvia and ??? The Fish Hook Barrel Cactus was the dominant species here, Saguaro less than in the Bajada, Buckhorn and Teddy Bear Cholla was thinly scattered and there was Echinocereus with its magenta flowers blooming here with a handful of Opuntia making an appearance.
Blooming Ocotillo spotted the north slopes randomly. The woody legumes were less common probably due to the steepness and quicker runoff.
At some point high on the Alta I quit using my poles that had been a big help. My left shoulder had begun to lock up and I readjusted their length shorter thinking I had been holding my hands/and the poles, too high, but my shoulder was already sore and my neck was beginning to lock up so I quit them and let my arms swing. (Now I think it was the straps on my daypack.) I guess I could have just over done it as I had been using them actively especially on the steep up and down hills, kind of the point I thought.
I was a little concerned as I was tired, low on water and my phone was almost dead (Too many pictures and apps running in the background I guess). I had thought that I could handle this without much problem. A portion of the trail crossed back and forth from the north to the south face of the ridges before it began its rapid descent through switchbacks, around ridges, across washes until it arrives at San Juan Rd where the actual trailhead is, a half a mile in from the closed gate where I had parked. While descending from the ridge the trail is on the south-facing slope and the flora was more sparse. Teddy Bear Cholla occurred in large patches. By this time my observation skills were dulled and I wanted to be done.
I ran into only three hikers on the trail, not to be unexpected with my late start and this being a Friday I suppose. I did have it pointed out to me though that this was a mild day temperature wise. There are many trails here in the Preserves and other Phoenix area Parks and the locals all get to them early or in the cooler winter months though while driving around I saw a group of trail runners high on one of the other ridges | <urn:uuid:9a5d7c9b-2fec-45eb-bbce-d99178caff5d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://gardenriots.com/2015/04/20/hiking-in-phoenixs-south-mountain-preserve/?like_comment=689&_wpnonce=98f8d1d8be | 2021-11-27T05:44:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358118.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127043716-20211127073716-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.975919 | 1,885 | [

Pituitary Tumor: Diagnosis
How are pituitary tumors diagnosed?
If your healthcare provider thinks you might have a pituitary tumor, you will need certain exams and tests to be sure. Diagnosing pituitary tumors starts with your healthcare provider asking you questions. You'll be asked about your health history, the symptoms you've been having, risk factors, and your family history of disease.
If your healthcare provider thinks you may have a pituitary tumor, you'll have a full medical evaluation. This includes a complete physical exam, blood and urine tests, and vision testing. These exams will help your healthcare provider decide if you need more tests.
What tests might I need?
If a pituitary tumor is suspected, you will need these tests to be sure:
Blood or urine tests
The kind of tests done will depend on what the healthcare provider finds during your physical exam. Certain tests can measure the levels of different hormones in your urine or blood. This helps your healthcare provider figure out what kind of pituitary hormone you might have. Different kinds of blood tests may be done depending on what kind of pituitary tumor your healthcare provider thinks you have. Some blood tests may need to be done at certain times of the day. Urine may need to be collected in a large container over a 24-hour period.
A special test called venous blood sampling may be done to see if you have a certain kind of tumor. Pituitary tumors that make the hormone ACTH (corticotropin) may be too small to show up on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. If you have a high ACTH level, but your MRI scan is normal, a venous blood sampling test may be done. To do this, tiny tubes are put into veins inside each of your thighs. The tubes are guided up to the veins that drain blood on each side of your pituitary gland. Blood samples are taken from both sides and checked for hormone levels. Then a hormone that causes the pituitary to make ACTH is put into your blood. More blood samples are taken to see if your ACTH level goes up a lot or is higher on one side of your pituitary gland. If this happens, a pituitary tumor is likely the cause.
MRI uses magnets and radio waves to take pictures of the inside of your body. MRI scans can show more detail than other imaging tests. An MRI is the best imaging test to find all types of pituitary tumors. MRI scans can also help surgeons decide on the type of surgery to use to remove the tumor, if needed.
A dye might be put into your blood or taken as a pill before an MRI scan. It helps make the pictures of your brain clearer so that even small changes can be seen.
During the test, you lie still on a table as it passes into a long, narrow scanner tube. If you're uncomfortable in small spaces (claustrophobic), you may need medicine (a sedative) to help you relax before the test. The entire test may last an hour or more, but each image takes only a few minutes. You will need to be very still while the images are taken. An MRI scan doesn't hurt, but it is noisy. You can ask for earphones and music or ask for earplugs.
A CT scan is a machine that takes many X-rays as the camera moves around you. A computer combines these images to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. This test may be done if you can't have an MRI scan.
During the test, you lie on a table as it slides into the ring-shaped scanner. A CT scan is painless. But you'll need to be still and may be asked to briefly hold your breath a few times during the scan.
You may have a contrast dye put into one of your veins as part of this test. The dye helps your provider see certain parts of your body more clearly. The dye will pass through your body and come out through your bowel movements. When the dye is injected, you may have a warm feeling flush from your chest to your groin. Before you get a CT scan, be sure to tell your provider about any allergies or if you've ever had a reaction to contrast dye. This includes hives, trouble breathing, or suddenly feeling hot. Medicines can be given before the test to help prevent these kinds of reactions.
Pituitary tissue biopsy
A biopsy is when a tiny piece of tissue or tumor (a sample) is removed and checked under a microscope. This can help your healthcare provider figure out the exact kind of pituitary tumor you have, and if it's cancer. But a biopsy is seldom needed before treating a pituitary tumor. This is because high-resolution MRI scans and detailed hormone blood tests are very accurate.
Getting your test results
When your healthcare provider has the results of your tests or biopsy, he or she will contact you. Your provider will talk with you about other tests you may need if a pituitary tumor is found. Make sure you understand the test results and what you need to do next. | <urn:uuid:1aeef71c-65cf-45c6-852c-c31e1662463e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://healthlibrary.gradyhealth.org/RelatedItems/34,18824-1 | 2021-11-27T06:01:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358118.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127043716-20211127073716-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.947206 | 1,095 | [

The Government-Approved Micro-ID Microchip Implantation Training Course
The Micro-ID Microchip Implantation Course is Government-approved and has been developed to maintain the highest possible standards of welfare and safety for pet microchipping in the UK, enabling pet professionals to safely and correctly implant microchips into dogs, cats, rabbits or ferrets.
About the Training Course
In February 2015, the government introduced new regulations stating that any non-veterinarian wishing to complete microchip training must complete an approved course. As one of the worlds’ leading and most-established microchip providers; Micro-ID has created a government approved microchip training course to offer people in the pet industry an affordable training solution to enable them to implant microchips safely in co-operation with MTA to the highest standards.
What does the training involve?
Our course is supported by the manual and pre-course material (this includes a written assessment), which is sent in advance of the practical session and will give you more time with the trainer on the day, he/she will then go through the questionnaire with you. On the day the practical training; you will have a good understanding of the microchipping procedure and we will spend at least 2 of hours running through the theory of microchipping, including a thorough look at all the different types of equipment available, the database and finally the procedure itself. You can be trained to use either or both the Mini-Chip or 12mm microchip.
Once you have been trained to use the equipment, there will then be a formal assessment where you must demonstrate the procedure and your understanding of how all the equipment works to our assessor. Once you have successfully completed both the pre-course material and the practical assessment, the reports made by the assessor will be sent to an internal verifier for approval. If all the National Occupational Standards are met, a Government approved certificate will be issued.
Do I need any animals for the training?
You will be required to provide a minimum of 3 animals per person for the course to microchip, plus a demonstration animal for the trainer. You must provide at least 1 dog per person, the other animals can be a dogs, cats, rabbits or ferrets, they must be of good health and in the case of kittens and puppies, we advise they have had their 1st vaccination however this is not compulsory.
How long will the practical training take?
You should allow 1 full day to undertake and complete the practical training
Can I do it in a group?
Yes you can undertake the practical training with friends or colleagues, as long as you have sufficient animals to each person
Where can I do the training?
The training can be undertaken in the comfort of your own home or another venue with a group if wish
How much will the training cost?
The cost will depend on your location and how many people are attending, but generally between £250 – 400 per person.
Do I need to top-up my training every year?
No this is a one-off course, once you have completed the training that’s it – you are a qualified, government-approved microchip implanter!
If you have any sort of disability or condition you feel may affect your ability to microchip please contact our office to discuss your concerns further, to be able to complete the microchip training you should be confident handling animals on your own.

|Other names||Arrythmia-induced cardiomyopathy, tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy, tachymyopathy, chronotropic cardiomyopathy, tachycardiomyopathy|
|Symptoms||shortness of breath, ankle swelling, fatigue, weight gain, palpitations, chest discomfort |
|Duration||short or long term|
|Causes||fast or irregular heart rhythm|
|Risk factors||Prolonged tachycardia|
|Treatment||antiarrythmic agents, diuretics, catheter ablation, pacemaker|
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a disease where prolonged tachycardia (a fast heart rate) or arrhythmia (an irregular heart rhythm) causes an impairment of the myocardium (heart muscle), which can result in heart failure. People with TIC may have symptoms associated with heart failure (e.g. shortness of breath or ankle swelling) and/or symptoms related to the tachycardia or arrhythmia (e.g. palpitations). Though atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of TIC, several tachycardias and arrhythmias have been associated with the disease.
There are no formal diagnostic criteria for TIC. Thus, TIC is typically diagnosed when (1) tests have excluded other causes of cardiomyopathy and (2) there is improvement in myocardial function after treatment of the tachycardia or arrhythmia. Treatment of TIC can involve treating the heart failure as well as the tachycardia or arrhythmia. TIC has a good prognosis with treatment, with most people recovering some to all of their heart function.
Signs and symptoms
People with TIC most often present with symptoms of congestive heart failure and/or symptoms related to their irregular heart rhythm. Symptoms of congestive heart failure can include shortness of breath, ankle swelling, fatigue, and weight gain. Symptoms of an irregular heart rhythm can include palpitations and chest discomfort.
The timecourse of TIC is most well-studied in experiments on animals. Researchers have found that animals began to exhibit abnormal changes in blood flow after just one day of an artificially generated fast heart rate (designed to simulate a tachyarrythmia). As their TIC progresses, these animals will have worsening heart function (e.g.: reduced cardiac output and reduced ejection fraction) for 3–5 weeks. The worsened heart function then persists at a stable state until the heart rate is returned to normal. With normal heart rates, these animals begin to demonstrate improving heart function at 1–2 days, and even complete recovery of ejection fraction at 1 month.
Human studies of the timecourse of TIC are not as robust as animal studies, though current studies suggest that the majority of people with TIC will recover a significant degree of heart function over months to years.
TIC has been associated with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia (VT), frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), rapid atrial and ventricular pacing, and left bundle branch block. The types of SVT associated with TIC include atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, incessant atrial tachycardia, permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia, atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia, and atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia. Atrial fibrillation is the most common and well-studied etiology of TIC.
There are no specific diagnostic criteria for TIC, and it can be difficult to diagnose for a number of reasons. First, in patients presenting with both tachycardia and cardiomyopathy, it can be difficult to distinguish which is the causative agent. Additionally, it can occur in patients with or without underlying structural heart disease. Previously normal left ventricular ejection fraction or left ventricular systolic dysfunction out of proportion to a patient’s underlying cardiac disease can be important clues to possible TIC. The diagnosis of TIC is made after excluding other causes of cardiomyopathy and observing resolution of the left ventricular systolic dysfunction with treatment of the tachycardia.
Specific tests that can be used in the diagnosis and monitoring of TIC include:
- electrocardiography (EKG)
- Continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring (e.g. Holter monitor)
- Radionuclide imaging
- Endomyocardial biopsy
- Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)
- N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP)
Cardiac rhythm monitors can be used to diagnose tachyarrhythmias. The most common modality used is an EKG. A continuous rhythm monitor such as a Holter monitor can be used to characterize the frequency of a tachyarrhythmia over a longer period of time. Additionally, some patients may not present to the clinical setting in an abnormal rhythm, and continuous rhythm monitor can be useful to determine if an arrhythmia is present over a longer duration of time.
To assess cardiac structure and function, echocardiography is the most commonly available and utilized modality. In addition to decreased left ventricular ejection fraction, studies indicate that patients with TIC may have a smaller left ventricular end-diastolic dimension compared to patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Radionuclide imaging can be used as a non-invasive test to detect myocardial ischemia. Cardiac MRI has also been used to evaluate patients with possible TIC. Late-gadolinium enhancement on cardiac MRI indicates the presence of fibrosis and scarring, and may be evidence of cardiomyopathy not due to tachycardia. A decline in serial NT-pro BNP with control of tachyarrhythmia indicates reversibility of the cardiomyopathy, which would also suggest TIC.
People with TIC display distinct changes in endomyocardial biopsies. TIC is associated with the infiltration of CD68+ macrophages into the myocardium while CD3+ T-cells are very rare. Furthermore, patients with TIC display significant fibrosis due to collagen deposition. The distribution of mitochondria has found to be altered as well, with an enrichment at the intercalated discs (EMID-sign).
TIC is likely underdiagnosed due to attribution of the tachyarrhythmia to the cardiomyopathy. Poor control of the tachyarrhythmia can result in worsening of heart failure symptoms and cardiomyopathy. Therefore, it is important to aggressively treat the tachyarrhythmia and monitor patients for resolution of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in cases of suspected TIC.
Treatment of TIC involves treating both the tachyarrhythmia and the heart failure with the goal of adequate rate control or restoration of the normal heart rhythm (aka. normal sinus rhythm) to reverse the cardiomyopathy. The treatment of the tachyarrhythmia depends on the specific arrhythmia, but possible treatment modalities include rate control, rhythm control with antiarrhythmic agents and cardioversion, radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation, or AV node ablation with permanent pacemaker implantation.
For TIC due to atrial fibrillation, rate control, rhythm control, and RF catheter ablation can be effective to control the tachyarrhythmia and improve left ventricular systolic function. For TIC due to atrial flutter, rate control is often difficult to achieve, and RF catheter ablation has a relatively high success rate with a low risk of complications. In patients with TIC due to other types of SVT, RF catheter ablation is recommended as a first-line treatment. In patients with TIC due to VT or PVCs, both antiarrhythmics and RF catheter ablation can be used. However, the options for antiarrhythmic agents are limited because certain agents can be proarrhythmic in the setting of myocardial dysfunction in TIC. Therefore, RF catheter ablation is often a safe and effective choice for treatment VT and PVCs causing TIC. In cases where other treatment strategies fail, AV node ablation with permanent pacemaker implantation can also be used to treat the tachyarrhythmia.
The treatment of heart failure commonly involves neurohormonal blockade with beta-blockers and angiotensin convertase inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) along with symptomatic management with diuretics. Beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors can inhibit and potentially reverse the negative cardiac remodeling, which refers to structural changes in the heart, that occurs in TIC. However, the need to continue these agents after treatment of the tacharrhythmia and resolution of left ventricular systolic dysfunction remains controversial.
The prognosis for TIC after treatment of the underlying tachyarrhythmia is generally good. Studies show that left ventricular function often improves within 1 month of treatment of the tachyarrhythmia, and normalization of the left ventricular ejection fraction occurs in the majority of patients by 3 to 4 months. In some patients however, recovery of this function can take greater than 1 year or be incomplete. In addition, despite improvement in the left ventricular ejection fraction, studies have demonstrated that patients with prior TIC continue to demonstrate signs of negative cardiac remodeling including increased left ventricular end-systolic dimension, end-systolic volume, and end-diastolic volume. Additionally, recurrence of the tachyarrhythmia in patients with a history of TIC has been associated with a rapid decline in left ventricular ejection fraction and more severe cardiomyopathy that their prior presentation, which may be a result of the negative cardiac remodeling. There have also been cases of sudden death in patients with a history of TIC, which may be associated with worse baseline left ventricular dysfunction. Given these risks, routine monitoring with clinic visits, ECG, and echocardiography is recommended.
The true incidence of TIC is unclear. Some studies have noted the incidence of TIC in adults with irregular heart rhythms to range from 8% to 34%. Other studies of patients with atrial fibrillation and left ventricular dysfunction estimate that 25–50% of these study participants have some degree of TIC. TIC has been reported in all age groups.

From the thrilling voice of Sacha Wunsch comes a heart-stopping psychological mystery in a world where memories can be shared—but maybe not trusted.
Enhanced Memory changed everything. By sharing someone else’s memory, you can experience anything and everything with no risk at all: learn any skill instantly, travel the world from home, and safeguard all your most treasured secrets forever. Nova’s parents invented this technology, and it’s slowly taking over their lives. That’s where Nova comes in. She can pick up the slack for them—and she doesn’t mind. She knows Enhanced Memory is a gift, and its value outweighs its costs.
But Kade says Nova doesn’t even know the costs. Kade runs a secret vlog cataloging real experiences, is always on the move, and he’s strangely afraid of Nova—even though she feels more comfortable with him than she ever has with anyone. Suddenly there are things Nova can’t stop noticing: the way her parents don’t meet her eyes anymore, the questions no one wants her to ask, and the relentless feeling like there’s something she’s forgotten.
But there’s danger around every corner, and her own home might be the most dangerous place of all.
What I Loved
I love the premise of Lies My Memory Told Me by Sacha Wunsch. Technology is rapidly changing and expanding, and people have become more and more reliant on it. A story about technology that lets you experience other people’s memories of places and activities doesn’t feel like that big of a stretch – just one or two steps past VR. I find this a very intriguing premise and loved exploring the downside to such technology.
This very slow-burn sci-fi thriller could have been a dicey reading choice for me as I have found that my patience with slowly unfolding stories is often shorter than it takes for the story to pick up in intensity and pace. This almost happened to me while reading this book. Still, just as my interest in learning about this new technology started to wan, the mystery is brought to the foreground, and everything about the story ramps up from that point onward.
The story is told in first-person narration through Nova, the daughter of the married couple who developed the EM (Enhanced Memory) technology. I loved that she is a teen who is not angsty or drama-ridden. This method of telling the tale is very effective as she is in the middle of all aspects of the story, including the many aspects of the technology. Third person narration would only have distracted the reader from many important nuances of the story.
What I Wish
I would have loved more thrills from the beginning, but that’s a personal preference rather than a critique. I could see where this story could have been a jaw-dropping, action-packed thriller, but I also recognize that a change in approach would have changed the whole story in subtle and profound ways and respect the author’s choices.
Nova is well-developed and drives the story. She is afraid of so much and is so timid. I couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her and then rejoice when she starts taking chances and experiencing all that life offers. She grows exponentially as the story unfolds, and it is a remarkable thing to witness.
Reminds Me Of
I had some flashes of Total Recall and other sci-fi stories because of the technology and somewhat the premise. Lies My Memory Told Me is a sort of YA version of that story without the interplanetary travel and other aspects well outside the realm of this day and age.
To Read or Not to Read
If you are looking for a compelling sci-fi thriller that will make you look at technological advances in a new light, Lies My Memory Told Me is a book you will not want to miss.
Sacha Wunsch grew up dividing her time between the family farm in Canada and traveling to numerous fictional worlds. She was a bookseller before discovering her love of writing mind-twisty novels – which has proved an excellent job since she gets to blame all the TV she watches on her love of storytelling. She now splits her time between the city and the lake, and still travels to made-up worlds as often as she can.

The platform was a hundred and fifty feet up.
I tried not to look down.
I hadn’t even known I was afraid of heights until the moment I stood up there.
The stranger came up to me, grinning. “You’re going to love it,” he said.
My entire body was sweating, most notably my palms, slipping as I tried to grip the safety harness.
Was I really going to do this?
No. I was going to get unclipped, turn around, and simply climb back down what felt like the millions of stairs stretching below me.
And then, just as I started to turn, someone pushed me off the platform.
I screamed as I dropped, nothing but air beneath me.
And then… I started to glide.
The scream kept coming a few seconds more, but my heart did a flip before it could reach my mind. I was soaring. Over the treetops. Whizzing along the zip line at high speeds. It was the best thing I had ever felt.
I had never been this free. Which made sense, I was essentially flying, after all.
Giggling was very much not in my nature, but there I was, giggling anyway. I closed my eyes to get a better sense of the wind on my face, but when the sweet scent of fresh-blooming flowers greeted me, I opened them again. Sure enough, the trees several yards below my feet were blooming some kind of large purple flower.
I sucked in a breath, wishing I could inhale the whole scene, wanting to appreciate it as much as I could—savor it—knowing it wouldn’t last forever, and landed gently on the other side.
I did not have to be pushed off the second platform—barely able to wait my turn to jump again. I soared from platform to platform, wishing nothing more than for this to go on forever, grinning all the way, and realizing only at the last second that the final landing platform wasn’t a platform at all, but a deep, cooling pool.
I sucked in a breath, and with a final burst of adrenaline, I splashed into the crystal-clear water.
TWENTY MINUTES EARLIER
“Come on, open it,” Mom said, her smiling beaming.
I held the small, beautifully wrapped box, unable to imagine what it was. My parents knew I wasn’t really that into jewelry, and neither were they really, but what else could be in such a small box?
I tore into it and flipped the lid open.
Which confused me even more. It wasn’t a ring or a pendant, just a small metal disk.
Dad sensed my confusion. “Give it a second,” he said, beaming even brighter than Mom.
In a blink, a form emerged, a hologram above the disk. There was no sound, but it looked like the person in the hologram was gliding through the tops of trees high in the air.
“This is…really cool,” I said, and meant it, but couldn’t help but feel like I was missing something.
Mom was practically bouncing on the couch. “We wanted to do something special for your birthday.”
“Thank you” was all I could really think to say. The disk was pretty cool, but what the hell was with their enthusiasm?
“You’re welcome Nova,” Dad said. “But this isn’t the whole thing. It’s the experience of it that’s the real gift.”
“The experience of it?”
Mom had gotten up and gone to the desk by the front door. She picked up another box, this one unwrapped, and pulled something from inside.
“Here, you put this on,” she said, handing me a clunky set of headphones plugged into a small handheld device about the size of a phone.
“The disk goes in there,” Dad said, and showed me how to open it, setting my new present inside.
And then I experienced my first ever zip line.
As the experience ended, I blinked my eyes open, a hundred percent sure I’d be soaking wet, but I was sitting right back in my living room. The sensation was a bit disorienting, but my parents were staring at me like they were about to explode.
“What was that?” I asked, grabbing the hem of my shirt, which I couldn’t quite comprehend being dry.
“That was Enhanced Memory,” Dad said, but the look on his face said so much more—like if he’d had feathers, they’d be plumaged out like the most badass peacock of the bunch.
“What did you think?” Mom asked, clasping her hands like she had so much energy whizzing through her body she had to do something to hold it in.
“Well obviously it was amazing, but by the way you two are acting, you already know that.” I couldn’t help but grin. They were just so cute sitting there all proud of themselves. “But seriously, what is this? What is Enhanced Memory?”
I’d seen 3D movies and had even tried virtual reality once, but this was way beyond either of those. This was next level.
“It’s simple,” Dad said. “The headphones are equipped with dozens of…well, let’s call them electrodes for sake of ease, though really, they’re more advanced than that.”
“Okay,” I said, mostly with him still, although knowing Dad it wouldn’t be long until the science-y droning took hold and steered him right off the layman’s term trail.
“And these,” he said, taking the disk out of the machine and holding it up, “are Memories.”
Mom nodded. “We discovered a way to extract memories and reproduce them.”
“Wait, you guys created this?”
Mom nodded, her smile huge and eyes wide. “This is what we’ve been working toward all these years.”
My mouth dropped open. I knew my parents had been working on some kind of project for a long time, but I guess I hadn’t really been that interested in what it was.
Mom laughed at my stunned expression while Dad came over to give me one of his signature kisses on the top of my head.
“Happy birthday, sweetheart,” Mom said, beaming.
I mean, they were scientists and science was basically the last thing I wanted to pay attention to, so I never really asked many questions.
But this was way beyond science. This was…actually kind of awesome.
A smile crept across my face. I couldn’t wait to try it again.

Was your church one of the 17 which contributed to the Missions Sabbath fundraiser? That special Sabbath was February 29, and the deadline for the submission of all funds raised was extended to April 30. We immensely thank all our churches which participated, and boosted the funds that the Missionary Society will now have to support and invest in the many SDB ministries around the world clamoring for our assistance. We are now in the process of tallying all the donations in anticipation of being able to announce the church which will win the trophy for contributing the most funds, as well as the runners-up.
If your church missed that opportunity, there is still time to get in on the ANNUAL GLOBAL MISSIONS AWARD, which will go to the church which contributes the most money to the Missionary Society for the period, August 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. To be counted, funds must reach the Missionary Society by July 15, 2020. That includes gifts given by members of our churches, even if they’re given separately from the church.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it, more reasons to be generous, and more reasons to share from what the Lord has entrusted to us. Yes, many of our people are enduring hardship at this time, but so many more of us are still seeing and experiencing the abundant provision of the Lord. Let us give and share with others as we are blessed ourselves.
“If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them. Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need” – Deuteronomy 15:7-8

- Acer has announced four new Chromebooks, including two Spin models for the work-from-home crowd.
- Although Acer chiefly relies on Intel power, one model lands with MediaTek’s Kompanio 828 SoC.
- Pricing starts at $399 for the base Chromebook 514 model.
Acer launched its latest wave of Chromebooks on Wednesday. The four new models cover a broad swathe of the market, catering to power users and budget buyers alike. Although pricing between the top and tail models see a ~$300 swing, the Chromebooks all focus on providing accessible conferencing facilities to those still working from home.

Acer Chromebook 515: The home office range-topper
The latest series starts with the range-topping Chromebook 515. Geared for the home office, this model adheres to a more traditional laptop format complete with a 15.6-inch 1,920 x 1,080 display. Internally, six fanless CPU options range from the Intel Pentium Gold 7505 to the more powerful Core i7-1180G7. Up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of NVMe-based storage are also optional.
The Chromebook 515 is pretty hefty at 1.7 kg, but it packs 10 hours of battery life and a MIL-STD-810H durability rating. Wi-Fi 6, DTS Audio, stereo speakers, and a Corning Gorilla Glass coated touchpad round out the options list. I/O includes two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI, and a microSD card slot.
The Acer Chromebook 515 goes on sale in Europe from October, starting at €499 (~$577). There’s no indication that this model will be available in North America.
Acer Chromebook 514: Powered by MediaTek
Alternatively, the Chromebook 514 is a more compact 1.3 kg model packing a 14-inch 1,920 x 1,080 display. Unlike its Intel-clad siblings, the 514 employs the MediaTek Kompanio 828 SoC, up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage. This combo gives the Chromebook 514 the best battery life of its peers, with a claimed 15 hours. This spec should make this model the preferred option for road warriors. Charging is swift too. Acer claims the Chromebook 514 needs half an hour to restore 50% of its battery.

Other niceties include a backlit keyboard, a Corning Gorilla Glass touchpad, two USB-C ports, an HDMI port, a single USB-A port, and a microSD card slot.
The Acer Chromebook 514 arrives in North America in December and Europe in November, priced at a pretty affordable $399/€399.
Acer Chromebook Spin 514: A punchy convertible
The first of the new Spin models, the newly-upgraded Chromebook Spin 514 features a familiar chunky 360-degree hinge design that transforms the device into a tablet when required. Despite its flexibility, the Chromebook also features a MIL-STD-810H body thanks to its reinforced but sleek aluminum construction.
It wears a 14-inch 1,920 x 1,080 IPS touch display up front, up to 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and up to 512GB of NVMe-based storage inside. Acer’s giving buyers five chipset options, too, topping out with the 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1180G7. Acer claims the Chromebook Spin 514 is good for 10 hours of use per charge. Notably, there’s a distinct lack of AMD Ryzen chipset options this time around.
The Chromebook Spin 514 will be available in North America from January 2022 and Europe from October starting at $699/€799.
Acer Chromebook Spin 314: For budget buyers
Finally, rounding up Acer’s new Chromebook offerings is the Spin 314. The budget convertible packs a 14-inch display available with a 1,366 x 768 or 1,920 x 1,080 panel. CPU offerings are limited to Pentiums and Celerons, with the Pentium Silver N6000 the quickest available option. Up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage are available, too. The 1.55 kg machine packs 10 hours of battery life, Wi-Fi 6, dual microphones, and DTS Audio support.
The Acer Chromebook Spin 314 will also be available in North America in December and Europe in November, but pricing is a little steeper than expected. It starts at $499/€449, probably owing to its convertible design. | <urn:uuid:e2a048a8-587c-4641-990d-7f8f3cc13a82> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://gamersgrade.com/acer-launches-four-new-chromebooks-packing-intel-and-mediatek-power/ | 2021-12-01T22:04:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360951.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201203843-20211201233843-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.872182 | 990 | [

Poor soil physical properties that limit water movement, root development, and soil aeration are believed by many to be a continuing barrier to increased crop yields. Soil conditioners supposedly modify the soil environment providing benefits such as improved water infiltration, decreased soil compaction, improved soil structure, and improved crop yields. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of a soil conditioner, ammonium laureth sulfate, and two levels of vehicle compaction on several of these properties. There were no statistically significant effects of ammonium laureth sulfate on soil water infiltration, soil penetration resistance, soil bulk density, soil water content, nor crop yields. Additionally, there were no interaction effects of the soil conditioner with the level of compaction caused by vehicular traffic. However, increased trafficking did cause increased soil compaction with resultant significant effects on penetration resistance, soil bulk density, soil water content, and soil water infiltration. For the short term, there seems to be no benefit associated with using the ammonium laureth sulfate conditioner. Studies of the longer-term effects of this conditioner on soil properties and yields for various locations and soils may be warranted. Presently, farmers are advised to concentrate on more traditional methods of maintaining a favorable soil environment for crop growth. Soil compaction can result because of vehicular traffic, and farmers should be aware of the possible detrimental effects on soil physical properties and resultant yields.

The course uses a two-pronged approach to the study of entrepreneurial finance. First, we will analyze principles of corporate finance, valuation, and coordination and control of firms, with an eye toward developing the tools and concepts of entrepreneurial financial management. Second, we will use cases on firms at different stages of their life cycle to illustrate how these tools and concepts may be applied in practice. In following these two approaches, we will examine the case dynamics and decisions from the viewpoint of both the entrepreneur and that of the investors to understand their motivations, objectives, and considerations. Entrepreneurial Finance and Private Equity investing are intrinsically linked. As an entrepreneur, you cannot negotiate effectively without understanding the investor’s modifications. As an investor, you cannot evaluate a potential opportunity without appreciating the entrepreneur’s perspective
In principle, we can think of a “life cycle” of entrepreneurial financial decisions comprised of stages of identifying opportunity, marshaling resources, executing the business decisions, and “harvesting” success. In practice, entrepreneurial finance is not a linear process though this life cycle, and most of the cases we examine will necessarily involve considering multiple stages of the life cycle. As a further dimension, both economists and private equity practitioners describe the need to think simultaneously about four “success factors”: people, opportunity, context, and the deal. Our case analyses will follow this general framework.

Bach, Johann Sebastian. (1685–1750)
Autograph signature "JS Bach / 1733" on a page measuring 74 x 27 mm, known to have been clipped from one of the composer's three copies of Elias Nicolaus Ammerbach's Orgel oder Instrument Tabulatur. Provenance: Georg Kinsky; Gehard Herz; private collection, by descent, not previously offered on the market until now. Together with a half-length portrait lithograph, ca. 1840 (Artist unknown. Neumann: Bilddokumente B24).
Autograph material of J.S. Bach is of the utmost rarity. Of the very small number of autograph pieces to have appeared on the market in the past 30 years, only a small number have included the actual autograph signature of the composer, and we aware of only two such offerings since the year 2000. Long perceived as rare, signed material of Bach has become increasingly so in the last decades, as a number of examples have passed into permanent institutional collections. It is thus ever more unlikely that any additional fresh-to-market Bach autograph material will come to light.
The present example has been extensively documented and before passing to the noted Bach Scholar Gerhard Herz, was in the collection of Georg Kinsky, German musicologist, one of the foremost cataloguers of musical instruments and manuscripts of his day, and the principal compiler of Das Werk Beethovens (Munich and Duisburg: Henle, 1955), the standard thematic catalogue of Beethoven's music. The story of this signature has been told in detail by Gerhard Herz in Studies Renaissance and Baroque Music in Honor of Arthur Mendel, ed. Robert L. Marsha (Kassel: Bärenreiter; Hackensack, New Jersey: J. Boonin, 1974), pp. 254-263 and 2 pp. of illustrations.
In the late 1950s, Professor Gerhard Herz of Louisville, Kentucky, received from a cousin this signature, acquired shortly after World War I from Georg Kinsky. At first puzzled by some of the idiosyncrasies of the present example, in 1969, Bach's Calov Bible re-emerged in St. Louis, Missouri, showing on each of its three title pages Bach's signature characterized by the same JSB monogram as seen here and the same year: 1733. Subsequently, Herz set about seeking to determine the source of the signature in his possession, and published the following account of his discovery (“A Bach Signature in the Possession of Gerhard Herz.” Bach, vol. 9, no. 4, 1978, pp. 23–24):
"We know that Bach entered his name into Elias Nicolaus Ammerbach's Orgel oder Instrument Tabulatur (1571), of which he owned three copies. The copy inherited by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach came later into the possession of Carl Ferdinand Becker, who was the organist in Mendelssohn's Leipzig Conservatory, one of the founders of the Bach Gesellschaft and an avid bibliophile. In 1856, Becker bequeathed his vast collection to the City Library of Leipzig. Shortly after 1870, Bach's signature was cut from the front flyleaf of Ammerbach's Tabulatur, a theft that was dutifully recorded by Alfred Dörffel on the volume's back flyleaf. Since this is the only cut-out Bach signature documented in history, the question suggested itself: is the Herz signature the one removed from Bach's Ammerbach Tabulatur over a hundred years ago? The reverse side of the Herz signature shows a curious pasted-on irregular blue area. Informed of this, Professor Werner Neumann in Leipzig kindly sent Herz one of the ex libris labels, C. F. Becker used to affix to the books and music of his collection. Since it was, likewise, blue and slightly larger than the blue area on his signature, Herz made the following experiment. Plucking a few fibers from the blue area of his Bach signature, as well as from the Becker ex libris label , he carefully crossed these fibers and had them photographed under microscope at the Medical School of the University of Louisville. The same was done with a fiber plucked from the yellow-brown paper of the Bach signature proper. The photographic result clearly demonstrated the structural identity of the crossed blue fibers while showing at the same time an entirely different organic structure of the fiber taken from the Bach signature paper."
The book in question is a copy of Elias Ammerbach’s Orgel oder Instrument Tabulatur, printed in Leipzig in 1571. Ammerbach (c. 1530-1597) was educated at Leipzig (1548-1549) and probably spent the rest of his life as Organist at the city’s Thomaskirche. An anthology of transcriptions for organ or clavier, the work contains several early German songs not found in any other sources and, though it is not known if he composed works himself, he developed a new method of musical notation – tablature – for keyboard playing, known as ‘new German organ tablature’. Arrangements of works by well-known composers, including Orlande de Lassus and Josquin des Prez, were printed in his tablature. Bach himself worked in Leipzig for much of his life, serving as Cantor at the prestigious Thomasschule – in addition to directing music at the city’s four principal churches and during official city functions – from 1723 until his death in 1750, evidently acquiring this volume during his time there, inscribing his name and the year on the title page.
The year of the present signature was a significant one for the composer. On 1 February 1733, Augustus II the Strong, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania and Elector of Saxony, died. Five months of mourning followed, during which all public music-making was suspended. Bach used this opportunity to work on the composition of a Missa, a portion of the liturgy sung in Latin and common to both the Lutheran and Roman Catholic rites, his aim being to dedicate the work to the new sovereign Augustus III, a convert to Catholicism, with the hope of obtaining the title "Electoral Saxon Court Composer". Upon its completion, Bach visited Augustus III in Dresden and presented him with a copy of the Kyrie–Gloria Mass BWV 232 I (early version), together with a petition to be given a court title, dated July 27, 1733; in the accompanying inscription on the wrapper of the mass he complains that he had "innocently suffered one injury or another" in Leipzig. The petition did not meet with immediate success, but Bach eventually got his title and was made court composer to Augustus III in 1736.

Who doesn’t know about Alam Sutera? One of the most popular new townships which located near Jakarta, Indonesia. Alam Sutera is known as an integrated property developer which focusing on the development of residential areas, commercial districts as well as the management of industrial areas. This new township built in 1994 on a 800 hectares piece of land. It was an integrated area that located in Serpong, Tangerang. After more than 20 years become the part of property sector in Indonesia, now Alam Sutera had launched 37 residential clusters and 2 apartments building in the township. Each cluster consists of 150-300 houses that is supported with a range of premium facilities such as education, entertainment, healthcare centers as well as one stop shopping area. As time passed by, now Alam Sutera has been evolving their business by developing Suverna Sutera, another township project which has been hold the development permit of 2.600 hectares of land in Pasar Kemis, Tangerang.
To most people, developers’ way of work always being correlated to a greedy business development process. Developers always intended to aim the highest profit by selling endless property units. Even sometimes, developer is not paying attention to current spatial planning regulation that applicable in the development area just to get their financial capital back as soon as possible. The carelessness of spatial planning resulted in many damage such as the degradation of land quality, the decreasing of environmental and social aspects, etc. How about Alam Sutera? Does this stereotype apply to their the business process?
It is well-known that there are so many aspects that have to be considered when planning a new township such as environmental, social, and also economic aspect. The representation of Alam Sutera, Mr. Soelaeman, in one opportunity talked about how Alam Sutera development aiming to achieve environmental sustainability by implement ecological planning in their business development. The developer was trying to combine many aspects to their development such as design, environmental, and social to their long term plan.
In implementing their development projects, Alam Sutera had their own design principles which are Focus Inward, Create Special Gateway, Town Center in the Heart, Residential Areas Surround the Center, and Direct Traffic to the Perimeter. Those design principles were made to reinforce the structure and identity of the community with extensive landscaping on major streets and open spaces and create an unifying urban design treatment in the Town Center.
Based on those principles, Alam Sutera have a masterplan that has to be reviewed every 5 to 10 years in order to improve the quality of Alam Sutera. Masterplan reviews also intended as a reaction to internal and external changes towards a better future of Alam Sutera.
Design concept of Alam Sutera is garden city which accentuate the park and open spaces with an easy structure to access every parts of the area. A good development is indicated by how the area is well understood by public. Alam Sutera uses recreational facilities, parks, and open space landscapes to communicate their development goals to the public. Alam Sutera mostly placed their recreational facilities, parks and open space on the heart of their development areas. They also had their own road planning principles which are hierarchy road system; loop system and minimizing crossing activity; avoid ribon development and consider about the road’s capacity. The implementation of their road planning principles can be seen on this picture :
Alam Sutera concerns about the environmental sustainability as well. As stated on the company website, Alam Sutera has become the pioneer in green living and dynamic icon of urban development and has been committed to build a better life for the community. It sounds like a promotional template for public relation officer in any other property developers. But according to Mr. Soelaeman, in the beginning stage of Alam Sutera development, they started with the vision about how to preserve the land carrying capacity in Serpong. The reason behind that mission was the fact that Serpong area was prone to flood.
The real action that took by Alam Sutera was the development of green tunnel, which consists of thousand trembesi trees that contribute to produce fresh air and give such an aesthetic view to the township. Trembesi trees have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide and land water. The presence of large trees is also an alternative to filter the penetration of the sunlight, so it doesn’t directly hit the earth surface. The heat that released by the earth will also be absorbed first by the tree canopy before being released back into the atmosphere. Thus, the ambient temperature can be maintained. The presentation of green area in Alam Sutera is 40% from the total area. That number of fact shows the real commitment of Alam Sutera to create a health living environment by implementing ecological planning concept. This green tunnel became very iconic to Alam Sutera.
Another story about the development of Alam Sutera new township is about how they relocate the local people who initially lived there. Sometimes, developer have to displace a group of people who encroach their land with a minimum compensation. And later after that, the local people will do the protest and demand a high compensation for their displaced houses. Does it also happen to Alam Sutera? According to the explanation of Mr. Soelaeman, in the beginning of the development, Alam Sutera have excellently managed to relocate a group of local people who initially lived on their land that has been plotted to be the residential area. There was no other options for Alam Sutera except to relocate and compensate them. Alam Sutera provide the local people a piece of land which located near the Alam Sutera development site. Moreover, Alam Sutera also provide them with basic facilities to ensure that they live in harmony. Some of the relocated people also had the opportunity to work with Alam Sutera.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that Alam Sutera development process is not only aiming to get the highest profit, but also paying attention to the environmental sustainability through their design concept. Alam Sutera as one of the biggest developer in Indonesia also considering the livelihood of local people who affected by the development. Those actions should be considered as they way of how Alam Sutera implementing the spatial planning regulation.

Principal & Staff
Kia ora koutou, and welcome to our website. Our staff feel privileged to continue a long tradition of child-centred, happy schooling here, and we enjoy working with students and the wider community to help this school succeed even further.
Our aim is to put student needs first and follow solid, scientific research in child development and education. We want Lake Brunner School to be at the cutting edge of what is proven to be the best way of doing things for our young people.
The fish in the school logo reminds me of the Fish Philosophy, started in a Seattle fish-market and now popular around the world. Its four guiding principles, #1, Choose Your Attitude, #2, Be There, #3, Make Their Day and #4, Play, sum up my vision for everyone at Lake Brunner School.
We want to empower children to feel confident and curious about their learning, taking advantage of every opportunity, and to know how to deal with challenge in work and with people in everyday interactions. We want to have caring, others-focussed attitudes and we want to have fun as we go through schooling together. Because the more we enjoy learning, the more we will learn! And learning is so much more than just Reading, Writing and Maths - it's our business to help children shine in all areas of life, not just to prepare them for the future, but for now!
I welcome visits from parents and others in the community. We are here with the same purpose - the best for our tamariki. Looking forward to the journey together!

SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE IN LARA
Monsoon | Portugal
PRIOR STUDY, LICENSING PROJECT AND WORK MANAGEMENT
The existing building, which is over 100 years old, is part of a housing complex that was the main house of a century-old farm.
From the existing building portion, it is intended to incorporate a program that proves to be extensive for the existing volumetry. The expansion of the building intends to stand out from the original layout, revealing itself as contemporary and minimalist.
The idea that the owner's dwelling is on the floor is maintained, following the functions of the existing building. However, in order to provide greater comfort, in addition to the exterior accesses, the house now has an interior staircase complemented by an entrance hall, in which the staircase stands out as a sculptural element.
Thus, formally, the housing project is defined based on the composition of two volumes: the existing building and the expansion.
The existing building maintains the language linked to the past through form and materiality. The horizontality of the building is altered to the south, by the existence of two floors and the crowning with a hipped roof, in which the chimney stands out.
The magnification volume is expanded in order to highlight the composition. In this process and in order not to impose the geometry in relation to the original building, the enlarged volume is neutral, through a clear geometry and light materiality in contrast to the strength and hardness of the original building. The building assumes itself through form but visually remains intimate, hidden in the geometry of the original building. | <urn:uuid:3986c52e-205d-42e4-85b8-deda35bfabe6> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://en.work3.com/c%C3%B3pia-moradia-unifamiliar-em-lara | 2021-12-06T17:59:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363309.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206163944-20211206193944-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.943569 | 328 | [

Neither LP nor PSA has stopped building Lasers during this whole time, and so far the only Kirby Torch in existence is an Australian Laser with a different logo on it. I believe with South America being LP's territory, they will provide the boats for the Rio de Janeiro games.
but then i dont get what was the "big" deal!! if you read the torch official page says that every laser build after is counterfeit and blah blah, he also states the ISAF is supporting him!!
thats why i was asking who was building the boats because if the ISAF is supporting kirby in the claim the new boats are not official or class sanctioned HOW are we gonna have a race full of boats not sanctioned?
BTW i really really dont understand the hole argument and in my understanment both parties are at fault, kirby should have look more amicable solution and LP should have make the same
ISAF and LP have a contract to build the Lasers for Rio. ISAF most definitely doesn't support Kirby; in fact, they used the Kirby Torch as grounds/an excuse to remove Kirby from the Laser class architecture.
The Torch website has been untouched for more than two years, so it's bound to contain outdated information. And of course, it only represents Kirby's view.
Kirby certainly made a mistake when selling his company to the owner of PSA, while LP shouldn't have stopped paying royalties to him. But whatever way the court case is resolved, I have a hard time imagining several years' production of LP and PSJ boats being declared illegal. ISAF and ILCA simply won't let that happen, and I don't think Kirby really wants that either.
Watching the streaming TV coverage, LP logos were clearly visible on the back of the boats. The sailors were also wearing Zhik and SEA hiking pants with the logos distinctly visible. Yet I doubt any of these parties paid the millions of dollars required to be an official Olympic sponsor.
So looking ahead, who is going to provide the Lasers for the 2020 Olympics? You know, in Tokyo? Japan? | <urn:uuid:64d57b62-ff0e-4b4a-944c-6921ec7b80d2> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://sailingforums.com/threads/so-whos-gonna-build-the-2016-olympics-lasers.34036/ | 2021-12-06T18:29:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363309.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206163944-20211206193944-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.978611 | 433 | [

What Is the Best Way to Learn Meditation?
Before you start, it is helpful to learn to meditate with these things in mind. Following these four steps will allow you to establish a good foundation and get the most from your meditation practice:
Learn to Meditate Step 1: Relax
Do this Tense and Relax exercise to help you relax:
- Inhale sharply through the nose, with 1 short and 1 long inhalation (double breath)
- Tense the whole body until it vibrates with energy
- Hold your breath and the tension for five seconds
- Exhale forcibly through the mouth, with one short and one long exhalation (double breath)
- As you do, throw the tension out
- Repeat several times
Learn to Meditate Step 2: Pray
Begin your meditation with a prayer. This will help you remember why you are meditating! You will also be inviting the Divine, or your Higher Self, to help you in your practice.
Learn to Meditate Step 3: Sit Still
Moving your body even slightly sends the energy into the muscles. The purpose of yoga is to withdraw that energy inward and upward, to the brain. Thus, any physical movement during meditation will counteract your meditative effort.
To keep yourself from fidgeting, try to think of your body as a rock: solid and unmoving. Refuse to move for the first five minutes of meditation, and you will find that your body will grow calm of its own accord.
Your physical and mental restlessness will subside the longer you sit still. A glass of muddy water will become clear in time if it’s undisturbed. The same is true for us!
Learn to Meditate Step 4: Look Up
Your eyes should be closed and held steady, looking slightly upwards, as if looking at a point about an arm’s length away and level with the top of your head.
It is essential to keep your gaze gently raised to that point throughout your practice. This will magnetize your spiritual eye, and draw the energy to the highest spinal center, the seat of spiritual awakening in the body.
How Long to Meditate
It is entirely up to you. Make sure, however, to allow enough time after the technique to sit still and enjoy the calm meditative state. For beginners 5-15 minutes a day is plenty, but as you become more experienced and get into the habit, 30 minutes to an hour and a half will give you a much greater benefit. You can even do this twice a day if you like!
Where to Meditate
If possible, set aside an area that is used exclusively for meditation. In time it will become saturated with spiritual vibrations. A small room, a corner of your bedroom, or even closet can suffice, as long as it is well ventilated.
Keep it simple. All you really need is a chair or small cushion to sit on, and perhaps a small altar. Face East if possible, and place a wool or silk blanket on the floor to insulate your body from the subtle magnetic currents of the earth.
Proper Meditation Posture
In addition to sitting on a straight-backed chair, there are other ways of sitting that are appropriate for mediation. You can sit on the floor in any of the several poses: cross-legged, half-lotus pose, or full-lotus pose.
Two things, however, are essential: your spine must be straight, and you must be able to relax completely without slouching.
How to Meditate
The following is a very simple meditation technique. You can learn to meditate in five minutes!
1. Breathe Evenly
Inhale slowly, counting to eight. Hold the breath for eight more counts, then exhale slowly to the same count. Without pausing, inhale again — hold — exhale, each to the count of eight.
This is called the Measured Breathing Exercise. Repeat it three to six times.
You can vary the count according to your lung capacity, but always keep it equal during inhalation, holding, and exhalation. Finish your practice by inhaling deeply, then exhaling completely.
2. Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration
Now wait for the next breath to come in of its own accord. When it does, mentally say Hong (rhymes with song). This time, don’t hold the breath, but exhale naturally. As you do, mentally say Sau (rhymes with saw).
Hong-Sau is an ancient Sanskrit mantra (a mantra is a word, syllable, or group of syllables, which can convey spiritual power when pronounced correctly, often with repetition). It means “I am He” or “I am Spirit.” Try to feel that your breath itself is silently making the sounds of Hong and Sau.
Make no attempt to control your breath. Simply observe it as it flows in and out naturally.
In the beginning, you may be mostly aware of the physical manifestation of the breathing process as your diaphragm and chest expand and contract.
As your breath grows calmer, however, try to become aware of its flow in the nostrils, then gradually transfer your awareness higher and higher in the nasal passages.
With the eyes closed, turn your gaze upward to the point midway between the eyebrows within your forehead. Concentrate there. This is the seat of spiritual consciousness in the body, also called the spiritual eye or Christ Center. In time, try to feel the flow of the breath near the spiritual eye within your forehead.
Keep your gaze steady at the point between the eyebrows throughout your practice. Don’t allow your eyes to follow the movement of the breath. If you find that your mind has wandered, gently bring it back to an awareness of the breath and the mantra.
3. Sit in the Stillness
Finish your practice of Hong-Sau by inhaling once through the nose, then exhaling three times through the mouth, and then forget the breath.
Concentrate deeply at the point between the eyebrows. Keep your mind focused and your energy internalized. Absorb yourself in the peace generated by your practice.
Continue for at least five minutes. Finish with a prayer to the Divine, offering yourself into the light of God.

Faces that I've melted.
Being a graphic designer and spending the majority of my day in front of a screen, sometimes you need a creative outlet that is a little more tangible.
This is where Melted Faces comes in. Armed with a disposable camera and quite a few matches, this is where I put that energy.
Sorry there's no profound cultural commentary, or deeper philosophy around this. Burning things is cool.

- Cumulative earnings surge to Rs.85bn, up 33% YoY and 16% QoQ
- Softlogic Stockbrokers says pent-up demand powered up earnings
- Banking sector leads with Rs.18.7bn in earnings
Sri Lanka’s listed entities reported their best-ever earnings in the three months ended in December 2020, defying the pandemic-triggered disruptions and the worst predictions by certain rating agencies and other analysts who painted a gloomy outlook.
According to Softlogic Stockbrokers, who parsed the October-December interim results, the corporates have reported a cumulative Rs.85 billion in earnings, recording what was termed as a “phenomenal increase” in the bottom lines, which ended up as the highest in the quarterly earnings history.
This was a robust 33 percent increase from the same three months in 2019 and a 16 percent growth from the previous quarter ended in September 2020.
The cumulative earnings for the July-September quarter were at Rs.73.6 billion, which was also the highest in two years.
The back-to-back earnings records were a result of the robust pent-up demand that kicked in from June onwards, after nearly a lockdown of two months.
“The earnings momentum continued beyond the pent-up demand cycle witnessed in 3Q 2020, to record a 16 percent QoQ growth for 4Q 2020, in testament to the favourable climate for local companies during the post-lockdown period,” Softlogic Securities said.
Strong earnings, improved business and consumer confidence and lower interest rates fuelled the recent stock market rally, which sent market indices into their all-time highs in January 2021.
As usual, the banking sector led the earnings during the December quarter, recording cumulative earnings of Rs.18.7 billion, which was up by a robust 42 percent from the September quarter, albeit 19 percent down from the same period in 2019.
This demonstrates how well the banking sector navigated the challenges thrown in by the pandemic as the sector showed mostly resilient earnings, despite higher impairments and margin contraction.
Meanwhile, the import restrictions and the revival in activities in the economy drove the earnings in the capital goods sector, of which the earnings soared by 66 percent YoY and 62 percent from the September quarter.
The food and beverage and tobacco sector earnings surged 75 percent in the quarter from the same period in 2019, due to the consumer demand holding up from the September highs and the spike in palm oil prices. But the earnings slipped by 3 percent from the September quarter, due to some slowdown in consumer spending caused by the new wave of lockdowns.
Meanwhile, the healthcare equipment and services sector emerged as a clear winner with YoY earnings surging by 105 percent and QoQ earnings rising by 68 percent, due to the surge in demand for healthcare in the final quarter in the 2020 calendar year.
Further, the retail sector witnessed a dramatic bounce back in the three months under review, logging a 401 percent growth in earnings from the same period in 2019, due to the strong pent-up demand continued through the December quarter.
Meanwhile, the telecommunication sector earnings surged 21 percent YoY on the back of improved data consumption, cost savings and reduced operational expenses. The transportation sector saw a pandemic-induced growth story led by Expolanka PLC, as the prolonged travel restrictions in usual sea freight led to a spike in air freight rates, causing the sector earnings to soar 1,930 percent YoY to Rs.4.6 billion. Corporates and investors remain sanguine of the earnings of the ongoing quarter too, supported by the recovery in economic activities led by the vaccination drive and the continued lower interest rates, which the Central Bank says would be maintained till the end of this year. | <urn:uuid:de2319e9-196f-4fd6-ab97-5771e1320ff3> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.dailymirror.lk/Business-Main/Dec-quarter-corporate-earnings-hit-all-time-high-defying-virus-scare/245-207478 | 2021-12-06T18:09:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363309.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206163944-20211206193944-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.968122 | 777 | [

Khan Zafar Afghani It is now raining and we heading towards a Restaurant, about one and half hours journey. We immediately entered into the Restaurant in the heavy rain. The weather is very pleasant now and a row of table has already been booked for us in the Restaurant. The cosines in Jakarta and Bandung are almost the same. We all were remembering our city and our houses. Our stay would be in Hotel Grand Aqyla Bandung and we were moving towards our Hotel. It was 3.15 pm when we reached our Hotel. The Hotel is quite good with spacious rooms. We have to take some rest after which we would leave to see the Shopping Malls. After a brief rest we were called in the Lobby to get our Bus, we saw many beautiful building on the both sides of the road this city was looking more attractive than Jakarta. The traffic load was very similar to Jakarta and the construction of the houses mostly ancient types which perhaps due to the Dutch Colonialism. This city is situated in the Capital of western Java Province. This is the fourth biggest city after Jakarta, Surabaya and Medan. This city is in the middle of Volcanoes the Dutch has declared this city as their Capital because it provides a natural boundary around the city. The total area of city is 167.27 kms. They formed the gardens of Tea for the first time there is a fine road to go to the tea gardens. With the creation of Municipal Office the city begins to develop very fast. There are a number of very good Hotels, Restaurants, Cafes and European Boutiques, then this city became famous as it also called “Paris of Java’. After the Independence in 1945 Bandung started to develop very fast. Huge population from the urban area shifted to this city and Bandung became the Metropolitan City. This city is now the centre point for European and Asian Tourists. The multi storied Shopping Centres here are very big and various local products are available in the shops. Female Sales Girls are in majority, but in shops in the markets of city you will find mostly males while there are some female there. In the Garment Shop, Batiks are also available. We saw many big shops of Indonesian Spices and a large quantity of Spices are cultivated here, these consists of Nutmegs, Cloves and Peppers etc. We have visited these Malls in different groups and some of us have done shopping from these shops. The evening has began and it is now heavily raining, we hired a Cycle-Rickshaw to reach our Bus and we were taken to a Restaurant for Dinner. The Restaurants here are normally very spacious. Most of the Restaurants are constructed with Bamboos, these are very cheerful and well ventilated. We also observed that there were no hoardings on the roads of Jakarta and Bandung, every shop has its own Board fixed on the top of their shops. We did not saw any wall-chalking on the walls neither any political slogans nor any posters of sex medicines. The people here are very gentle, not like us to grime any building. People in our country normally very aggressive they wait that when they saw a new building or a new painted wall so that they can use them for their slogans and making the whole city so dirty and unclean. After the Dinner we returned back to our hotel. It is now 6’O Clock in the morning, our first and last morning in Bandung, the view of the city is looking very beautiful when we looked outside from our window panes, we saw many vehicles running on the road. Bandung also woke up early in the morning like Jakarta and people were going to their work. The people of Indonesia are strictly following the Qur’anic instructions that Day has been made for work and the nights are for taking rest, and this is the reason behind the development while the markets and shops in our beloved Karachi are started opening usually in the afternoon. We all reached the Restaurant for Breakfast in the Basement. Fresh Fruits and Coffee were very delicious. The Bus was ready to take us to the Museum of the Asian African Conference around 7’O Clock. This Conference is a golden chapter of history of the Universe. It was our dream to visit Bandung and desired to see that room where a Conference was held under the great leadership of Dr. Soekarno, which called ‘Bandung Conference’. The Government had turned this building into the Museum. The first Asian African Conference was held from 18th to 24th April, 1955 and this historic place is called ‘Gedung Merdeka’. In 1895 this building was an ordinary structure but now it an historic place. The area of this building is 7500 sq. meters and surrounding area of this building has been turned into a meeting area by the Dutch which they called ‘Societeit Concordia in 1921. This building is beautifully decorated according to international standard. The Japanese after capturing this city called this building ‘Dai Toa’ Cultural Centre. On 17 August, 1945 the Indonesia proclaimed Independence and this building has become the Youth Headquarter who sacrificed their live in war with Japanese for the Independence of their home land. This building was turned as Municipal Headquarter of Java, from 1946 to 1960 this building was also utilized as a Recreation Centre and before the Asian African Conference this building has again been redecorated. On 7th April 1956 the great leader of Indonesia Dr. Soekarno has called this building “Gedung merdeka’. In 1959 this building was under the use of National Planning Agency and from 1960 to 1971 this building was used as “Provincial Consultative Assembly”. In 1965 the Asian African Conference was held in this building during this year the building was under the Indonesian Security Forces and a part of building was used to keep the political prisoners. In 1980 this building completely developed as an Asian African Conference Museum. The opening ceremony of this building took place on the 25th Anniversary of Bandung Conference on 24th April 1980. It is 9’O Clock in the morning when we arrived at the ‘Museum of the Asian African Conference. This Museum is opened for public from Monday to Friday at 8.00 am to 3.00 pm. From 18 June, 1986 this Museum is under the Museum Department of Foreign Affairs and Directorate of Public Diplomacy and it has the status of ‘Indonesian Diplomatic Political History Museum. We saw President Soekarno wearing white Army Uniform with traditional Indonesian Cap and sitting on the chair as soon as we entered the Museum. There are 7 seats at his back where Pakistan, India and the leaders of other four nations are sitting. We captured this moment in our Cameras. This sight has been protected in the shape of statues for the new generations. We only read about this Conference in the books and saw this place in the pictures only, but now we ourselves are looking this historical place from our own eyes. A Reception Desk is located at one side of the Museum and uniformed Guard took all of us in the Hall, where the Conference was held. The Golden Jubilee was celebrated in this Hall in 1965 the flag of the participating delegates are hovering at the stage. The Conference was attended by Pakistan, Afghanistan, Burma, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Nepal, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam and Yemen. The accommodations for the 1500 delegates were booked in 14 different hotels with 31 Bungalows, accommodation for 500 Journalist and Reporters were also arranged. For their transportation, 143 Cars, 30 Taxis and 20 buses with 1230 Drivers were arranged and arrangements for 275 tones Gasoline were made available. Invitations to 25 Heads of States were issued to attend the Conference, only one country that was Central African Federation refused to attend the Conference which under the occupation of some foreign powers at that time. 24 Heads of States confirmed their attendance and with the dawn of 18 April the whole Bandung woke up, from 7’O Clock in the morning people started march towards the Merdeka which was full from the people who were gathered to welcome the honorable guests. The Foreign Delegates started arriving at 8.30 am and they were warmly welcomed. The Conference started at 9.00 am with ‘Indonesia Raya’ the National Anthem of Indonesia. The President Dr. Soekarno addressed the Conference at 10.00 am with his Historic Speech under the theme ‘Come to Asia and Create a New Africa”. The participants applauded warmly him. A permanent room was also provided in the Building where the pictures of Bandung Conference and Colombo Conference have been exhibited. The films on the Culture and on the Bandung Conference and Asian Countries Conference are available there. The Guard also played the Pakistani National Anthem as he understands that we are Pakistanis. There are numerous items of various countries are kept in the Glass Boxes. There was a Box and Flag in a Box with the word is written ‘PAKISTAN’, we feel so proud and happy when we saw this scene. | <urn:uuid:570d43cb-f20e-407e-a923-1e65ce8bfa19> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://essaydocs.org/few-days-in-indonesia-bandung-signs-of-ancient-type-of-constru.html | 2021-12-08T07:21:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363445.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208053135-20211208083135-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.980069 | 1,891 | [

Environmentalists and Canada’s timber industry had put an end to their long-running battle over a region of Pacific Coast wilderness. They often referred the wilderness to as the Great Bear Rainforest.
The deal governs a region of about 2 million hectares (7,700 square miles). It is about the size of El Salvador. To protect wildlife, the deal bans logging in some areas. According to groups involved in the deal, it also requires more environmentally friendly logging in other portions.
The area is a home to a rare white-furred subspecies of the normally dark Kermode bear. In the battle to protect the region, the rare white bruins have become environmental symbols. It is often called “spirit bears”. | <urn:uuid:1b30f9a4-d7e7-48ff-bf1d-aee06c470561> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://ecofriend.org/canadas-coast-rainforest-needs-protection-deal-reached/ | 2021-11-27T08:56:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358153.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127073536-20211127103536-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.949059 | 151 | [

Businesses are leading Congress on climate action
This article originally appeared in The Environmental Forum.
It is a political reality that Corporate America has tremendous influence in Congress and many companies have used this power to oppose environmental regulations and strong action on climate change. But the activities of the past two months suggest this is starting to change, which is great news given the urgency of the climate crisis. Dozens of leading businesses are finally making climate action the priority it should be, and urging Congress to enact national policies addressing the issue head-on. If this trend continues and accelerates, it will play a huge role in creating the breakthrough moment when lawmakers see ambitious climate action as not only a scientific mandate but a political necessity.
The CEO Climate Dialogue injected new energy into the climate debate on the Hill with Guiding Principles for federal action that were adopted by a diverse coalition of businesses and environmental organizations. The initiative is unique in being CEO-driven and flexible on policy solutions, though the goal to put in place comprehensive federal policy including a price and limit on pollution as soon as possible is steadily gaining momentum. This spring alone, more than 75 businesses advocated for a carbon price on Capitol Hill, major oil and gas and power companies invested in the Americans for Carbon Dividends initiative, and a group of more than 30 oil and gas companies and investors publicly endorsed carbon pricing after a meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
Why the surge in corporate policy advocacy?
For one, Corporate America recognizes the urgency of bending the curve on carbon emissions. In KPMG’s Global CEO Outlook released in May, CEOs across sectors listed environmental/climate risk as the number one threat to growth—ahead of disruptive technology, cyber security and operational risk. As the CEO Climate Dialogue’s Guiding Principles make it clear that “it is urgent that the President and Congress put in place a long-term federal policy as soon as possible to protect against the worst impacts of climate change. Acting sooner rather than later allows us to meet the climate challenge at the least possible cost and put the necessary investments in place in time to meet our emissions targets.”
Second, forward-looking businesses like those in the CEO Climate Dialogue recognize that we cannot achieve the greenhouse gas reductions necessary to avoid the worst impacts of climate change without national scale action and U.S. global leadership. State and local policies play a leading and critical role in driving climate action across the U.S., fostering clean energy and protecting human health, creating jobs and shared economic prosperity, and in establishing frameworks for broader and more ambitious action, yet those policies alone are not enough. The companies’ demands of Congress are clear they are calling for “an economy-wide price on carbon…the best way to use the power of the market to achieve carbon reduction goals, in a simple, coherent and efficient manner.”
Third, companies are under increasing pressure from investors to address climate change. According to the New York Times, a top financial regulator equated the economic risks posed by climate change to those that drove the mortgage meltdown in 2008. Meanwhile, climate-related shareholder resolutions are on the rise, up from 17 in 2013 to more than 75 this year. And while Amazon’s employee shareholder resolution did not pass in May, that won’t be the last time such proposals are introduced at Amazon and other companies.
The case for climate action
Leading businesses see federal climate policy as something they want to make happen rather than something that will happen to them. They recognize that while voluntary actions by companies and others to cut climate pollution are important and have the laid the groundwork for greater ambition, only public policy can deliver the pace and scale of reductions needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Because these companies understand the unacceptable costs and risks of inaction on climate change, they are leading rather than following Congress on this issue. These companies also recognize that engaging early in the climate policy process allows them to help shape the solutions.
Meanwhile, Americans are increasingly demanding action from their elected leaders. For the first time, voters see climate change as a top priority for the 2020 election. Over 60% of are “alarmed” or “concerned” about climate change, and over 80% support regulating greenhouse gas emissions. While it’s unlikely that meaningful climate policy will pass during the Trump Administration, we need to start the process now of shaping bipartisan legislation that can pass in the future.
The companies in the CEO Climate Dialogue are at the vanguard of a growing movement of businesses calling for climate action in Washington, DC and around the country. They recognize that the most powerful tool they have to fight climate change is their political influence, and they’re not afraid to use it. That’s the kind of leadership that will get us where we need to go: to a bipartisan climate policy solution that boosts the economy, builds resilience and protects public health. Now it’s time for businesses across the economy to join them, and be part of creating the low-carbon future we all want.

The only artist to ever earn the title “Official War Poster Artist”, Abram Games’ war posters have left a legacy that visual designers today are still trying to live up to. During the war, Games designed over 100 posters as a tool to recruit and educate soldiers and civilians, encouraging everyone to support the war effort. Until 24th November 2019, the National Army Museum, London, is celebrating his work in a special exhibition, The Art of Persuasion: War Time Posters by Abram Games. This retrospective of a major 20th-century artist displays 100 posters brought together for the very first time to explore how the art of persuasion helped mobilise a country at war.
“Maximum meaning, minimum means.”
– Abram Games’ motto
Abraham Gamse (1914-1996) was born in Whitechapel, East London, on 29th July 1914, the day after World War One was declared. His Jewish parents, Joseph Gamse, a Latvian photographer, and Sarah nee Rosenberg, a Polish seamstress, came to England as refugees in 1904. In 1926, Joseph Gamse officially anglicised their surname to Games and Abraham opted to change his first name to Abram. He joked that he had dropped the “ham” because it was not kosher.
As a child, Games attended Hackney Downs School, which he left when he was sixteen years old. Ironically, his school reports stated that his work was poor, careless and untidy and that his drawing skills were weak. In 1930, he enrolled at St Martin’s School of Art in London, however, was disillusioned by the teaching and left after two terms. Using the skills he had learnt during his brief time at college and the experience of helping his father develop photographs, Games worked for a short while as a “studio boy” for the commercial design firm Askew-Young, attended night classes in life drawing and entered a handful of poster design competitions. In 1935, Games came second in a competition to design a poster for the Health and Cleanliness Council and, the next year, won first prize in a poster competition for the London County Council.
From 1936 until 1939, Games worked as a freelance poster artist and had his work featured in an article in the journal Art and Industry. This led to several important commissions from companies, such as the General Post Office, London Transport and Shell. Unfortunately, the beginning of World War Two temporarily put an end to his design work.
In May 1939, the Military Training Act coerced all men aged 20 or 21 years old to serve in the armed forces for a least six months. The following year, Games was called up for Army service and served as a private in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment for four months before being transferred to the Hertfordshire Regiment. In 1941, Games, who had been noticed for his artwork, was approached by the Public Relations Department of the War Office who offered him a job as a poster designer with the task of creating recruitment posters for the Royal Armoured Corps.
Games greatly admired the Surrealism art movement and opted to use combinations of silhouettes and abstract or geometric shapes in his designs to capture the viewer’s attention. Due to the restrictions on ink during the war, Games was often limited to a maximum of four colours but he was still able to produce vibrant posters.
Whilst conscription had already been introduced, only volunteers could serve in specialist units. Games’ task was to produce a poster to encourage soldiers to take on these roles that would, inevitably, expose them to greater danger. The Royal Armoured Corps had been founded on 4th April 1939 and, due to being fairly new, was lacking in volunteers. Later, Games designed the cap badge for the newly-created corps. The symbol of a fist represents the strength and power of the unit.
Due to the success of Games’ poster, he was commissioned to design a recruitment poster for the Auxiliary Territorial Army, which was the women’s branch of the British Army. The poster was aimed at young women who were needed to serve in a range of jobs, including, telephonists, drivers, bakers, postal workers, ammunition inspectors and military police. The first poster designer, however, was nicknamed the “blonde bombshell” on account of the hairstyle and red lipstick. The feminist Conservative Party politician Thelma Cazalet-Keir (1899-1989) objected to the design, stating, “Our girls should be attracted into the army through patriotism and not glamour.”
Games’ next poster for the ATS featured a smiling face, looking upward in enthusiasm, which was generally accepted by the war office, although, one critic complained that the colour red made the girl appear “slightly Russianed”. A later poster for the ATS featuring a sepia sketch was criticised for looking too much like an “English Rose”.
Throughout Games’ career as Official War Poster Artist, during which he was promoted lieutenant (1942) and then captain (1945), he produced a number of recruitment posters. Although people had been conscripted to the RAF, the Army needed to persuade officers and men to transfer to the Airborne Forces, which, of course, was more dangerous, however, parachute and glider-borne troops were promised higher pay.
In 1944, Games poster for the Royal Army Medical Corps Parachute units was displayed to encourage more people to join. Men were needed for Operation Market Garden, which was due to take place in September 1944. Of the 3082 men of the Parachute Regiment, only 462 avoided death or capture during the Battle of Arnhem.
Games’ poster for the Commando Medical Service asked medics to volunteer through their commanding officers after which they had to endure a rigorous selection process.
Usually, Games’ posters were printed using the lithography process, however, when he was commissioned to create awareness posters about bombs and weapons, he knew he needed to make the designs as realistic as possible; therefore, he resorted to photography. Titled “Danger Don’t Touch”, Games produced a couple of chromolithograph posters featuring photos of various bombs.
Games stated, “These ammunition posters could only have been produced after much study of statistics and hours in ordnance depots. Collaboration with technicians was essential.” The weapons needed to be as clear as possible especially as the posters were aimed at children to keep them safe. The lines at the bottom of the page say, “You may find one of these on the ground or half buried. Leave it alone and TELL THE POLICE AT ONCE. Do not touch it even with a stick and do not throw stones at it.”
As part of the weapon safety campaign, Games used shock tactics to reinforce the message that ammunition must be treated with care. One poster titled “This Child Found a Blind” was taken down by members of the public because the image of the girl in a coffin reminded them too much of their own children. This fictional child had found a “blind”, i.e. a bomb that had failed to go off, which inevitably went off when she picked it up.
Games’ weapon posters were not all aimed at civilians; some were targetted at members of the armed forces. Mass conscription at the beginning of the war meant that there were hundreds of new recruits but not enough time to educate them. These posters acted as infographics with instructions about how to store and use weapons. Ammunition needed to be stored carefully in a well-ventilated area. If the storage room was too hot, wooden items would expand and split, labels would peel off and liquids would leak. Likewise, a damp area would cause just as much damage: metals would rust or corrode, some items would rot and labels would become damaged. Both these conditions could also cause “blinds”.
Clumsy handling of weapons could also cause damage or, even worse, accidents. Throughout the war, Games only produced one poster that featured the enemy. With the heading “His rifle will fire, will mine?”, it encouraged soldiers to check their weapons were in full working order before entering combat. A faulty rifle, for example, would be useless in battle; not only would soldiers be unable to fire at the enemy, but they would not be able to protect themselves from enemy fire.
Throughout the war, soldiers and civilians alike were warned not to talk about army secrets or plans in case information got into the wrong hands. Letters to and from Army Head Quarters were to be sent via the Army Post Office and not with the General Post Office. The Army would deliver mail unmarked, whereas the public post office would stamp it with a postmark. If the letter got into the wrong hands, a rough location of the headquarters could be interpreted.
Most of Games’ war posters were serious, however, when the Ministry of Information launched their campaign about the dangers of revealing information about the war effort in public, Games added a tiny bit of humour into his work. The poster “Keep a Guard On What You Say” features a visual pun of a man whose mouth is guarded by a sentinel.
It was not only in public that people had to be careful; soldiers recuperating in hospitals were warned not to speak about their missions to the other patients and nurses. In Games’ design, the hospital bed forms the shape of a German soldier, implying that spies could be anywhere, even where you least expect it.
A more serious poster was designed to resemble an official notice. Printed during the run-up to the Allied Liberation of Europe, Games’ poster warned troops that talking about the mission would not only put themselves at risk but their comrades as well. Amazingly, considering the scale of the operation, no information was leaked and the Germans were taken completely by surprise on D-Day.
Bombs and armed combat were not the only killers during the Second World War, lack of hygiene played a huge part too. As a result, Games was commissioned to produce medically approved posters to be hung in Army barracks and communal washing areas. Soldiers were warned about the dangers of failing to clean various parts of the bodies, such as their feet, to keep dirt and disease at bay. Dental health was also encouraged in order to prevent tooth decay and infection. Advice about diet was also provided. The medical journal The Lancet praised Games’ designs, saying, “There is every reason to hope that education in hygiene so ably presented will have its reward in a rising standard of health and personal pride among the men.”
Men were encouraged to keep their quarters well ventilated and their bedding free from lice and flies in order to prevent conditions such as scabies. They were also urged to kill flies and, for those in hotter areas, mosquitos that may be carrying diseases such as malaria.
Whilst the men were out fighting, those back home were encouraged to do what they could to help the soldiers. A campaign called “Plasma for Britain” called for blood donations. Inevitably, countless people died during the war, but a transfusion of blood was a lifeline for many of the injured.
“Please Knit Now” posters encouraged women in the forces and at home to knit socks for soldiers, particularly those fighting in the “jungle” or the Far East. This poster was printed in 1945, which was the same year Games married Marianne Salfeld. Showing his love for his soon-to-be wife, Games secretly added the words “To Marianne” on one of the loops of wool in the poster.
Other posters urged people to think about waste and unnecessary items that could be avoided for the duration of the war. Using petrol to go for a joy ride, for example, was using up petrol that could have been used to power one of the army’s vehicles. Buying produce and items from abroad meant that additional ships were needed, which, again, took resources away from the troops. Rationing had been introduced in order to limit the number of products shipped from abroad and homeowners were inspired to grow their own vegetables in their back gardens.
In 1944, the National Savings Committee (NCS) organised a “Salute the Soldier” week during which people were urged to save and donate money to help finance the war effort. Games helped by designing posters, pamphlets and banners to advertise various local fundraising events. These events included fetes, talks, exhibitions, pageants and concerts. Each town involved had a target to reach. Oldbury, a market town in Sandwell, West Midlands aimed to raise £500,000. Smaller communities were given lower targets, for instance, £50,000.
Being Jewish and a passionate Zionist, Games was particularly interested in supporting the Jewish Relief Unit, which worked in conjunction with the British Red Cross, the Salvation Army and Quakers to deliver food, clothing and comfort to the victims of Nazi cruelty. His posters encouraged donations from the people of Britain plus created awareness of the scheme to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. Due to his personal affiliation, Games designed these posters free of charge.
In 1941, the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (ABCA) had been set up by the War Office to boost morale and educate British service personnel. The ABCA considered current affairs to be an essential part of Army training and provided a number of activities, including lectures and films, to equip soldiers with this knowledge. They also produced a number of pamphlets and informative posters, which Abram Games designed. A series of prints titled “Your Britain. Fight For It Now” aimed to remind soldiers what they were fighting for. Combining images of derelict, bombed-out houses with future, modern constructions, the posters suggested that if the soldiers persevered, they could achieve a better quality of life back home.
Unfortunately, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was anti-ABCA claiming the posters were a “disgraceful libel on the conditions prevailing in Great Britain before the war… It is a very wrong thing that the War Office should be responsible for such exaggerated and distorted propaganda. The soldiers know their homes are not like that.”
Nonetheless, the ABCA’s ideas were generally adopted and many officers took up the challenge to educate their troops. This led to the Army Education Scheme (AES) that optimistically claimed education would open up a world of opportunities for the soldiers.
“Officers must provide creative ideas from which a positive faith can be generated. To get the best out of men it is not enough to tell them that they must be ready to die in the last ditch. They must be given a new vision of the future and a new hope.”
– Military theorist Captain Basil Liddell-Hart, 1940
The ABCA and AES also aimed to boost the morale of the soldiers. As some troops began to return home, many found themselves facing unemployment and the inability to reintegrate themselves into civilisation. Games’ posters advertised various resources for these soldiers, for instance, the Civil Resettlement Units. These units were particularly aimed at soldiers who had been held as prisoners of war. The rehabilitation process involved helping the men find work, providing training and advice, and giving general assistance to aid their readjustment to their freedom.
There was a political side to the ABCA, which encouraged soldiers to register to vote in the general election held at the end of the war. Once again, Churchill was displeased about this because their left-wing bias painted the Conservatives as responsible for the economic depression of the 1930s and the cause of the mass unemployment at the end of the First World War. Afraid of returning to a lack of jobs and homelessness, the Labour vote in the 1945 General Election was higher among service personnel than civilians.
“Churchill may have been a great wartime leader, but he never visited a slum.”
– Abram Games
After the war, Abram Games resumed his freelance work, designing for clients including London Transport, the Financial Times, Guinness, British Airways and El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. He also continued to design for the Army, for example, the Household Cavalry, which combined the Life Guards (who wear red) and the Blues and Royals (who wear blue).
Two years after he had been demobilised, Games entered the competition to design the emblem for the Festival of Britain, which he won. The Festival of Britain was a national exhibition to celebrate the centenary of the Great Exhibition held in 1851, which was organised by Prince Albert (1891-61). It was also considered to be a post-war “tonic for the nation”. Games’ design comprises a star in the colours of the Union Flag, the head of Britannia and a string of bunting.
“I am not an artist, I am a graphic thinker.”
– Abram Games
Games continued to practice his “graphic thinking” for the rest of his life. He designed the stamp for the 1948 Olympic Games, becoming the first designer to have his name on a British stamp. Between 1946 and 1953 he took up the role of visiting lecturer in Graphic Design at the Royal College of Art, then in 1956, he was appointed Art Director of coloured covers for Penguin Books. His successful design for the Festival of Britain led to several more commissions, including the designs for the BBC Television’s first animated ident.
In 1957, Games was awarded an OBE for his services to graphic design and two years later was appointed Royal Designer for Industry. He travelled to the USA to speak at the Ninth International Design Conference in Aspen, Colorado plus wrote a book titled Over My Shoulder.
Although still under the design umbrella, Games turned his hand to other enterprises, for example, designing machinery. In 1959, he designed a coffee maker and patented an imagic photocopier. Later, he invented “Boil in the Bag” coffee, which he patented in 1963.
For the Muswell Hill Synagogue in North London, Games designed a memorial window for the victims of the Holocaust. Then, in 1970, he designed the “Stockwell Swan” tiled memorial for London Transport’s Victoria Line.
Throughout his career, Games was involved in a number of organisations. In 1962, he presented a paper about poster advertising to the Royal Society of Arts, winning him the RSA Silver Medal. In 1965, he was made a member of the Stamp Advisory Committee and in 1968, he was appointed the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation Consultant on Graphic Design at Bezalel School of Art in Israel.
As well as the awards already mentioned, Games won the Design and Art Direction President’s Award in 1991. His last achievement occurred in 1992 when he was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Art. Four years later on 27th August 1996, Abram Games passed away. He was buried in the Bushey Jewish Cemetery in Hertfordshire.
The Art of Persuasion certainly earns the caption “special exhibition”. With around 100 posters, it is a larger than expected display of work by an artist – sorry, graphic thinker – whose contributions during the Second World War deserve to be honoured for time immemorial. The National Army Museum has made the exhibition suitable for all the family. For children, there is an activity page in the back of the free exhibition guide, which challenges visitors to think about the poster designs and what life during the war may have been like. Activities range from discussing what your favourite poster is to standing on one leg for 30 seconds or attempting to say “Maximum meaning, minimum means” ten times without getting tongue-tied.
For people of all ages, an interactive screen allows visitors to design their own poster using elements from some of the original designs by Abram Games. These can be emailed to personal addresses so that everyone can keep their artwork.
Not only does the exhibition introduce the graphic designer Abram Games, but it also creates awareness of the intricacies of war. Most history lessons focus on the physical fighting, the politics and the outcomes of the war, however, little is said about the effects on the individuals living through it, the concerns about hygiene and the amount of encouragement needed to persuade people to support the war effort. As the title states, art can indeed be persuasive.
The Art of Persuasion: Wartime Posters by Abram Games costs £6 per person, although there are various concessions. Tickets can be purchased on site or booked in advance online. The rest of the National Army Museum can be visited for free. | <urn:uuid:95079fad-5b29-416b-a55c-210d168a1d40> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://hazelstainer.wordpress.com/2019/07/26/the-art-of-persuasion/ | 2021-11-30T11:35:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358973.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130110936-20211130140936-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.980683 | 4,282 | [

Krystal L. Werfel
Students with reading impairments, including dyslexia, account for the largest proportion of students receiving special education services in the United States (NCES, 2016). Developmental dyslexia is characterized by slow and inaccurate word decoding (Lyon et al., 2003). This word decoding difficulty results from deficits in phonological awareness, a sound-based skill (Swan & Goswami, 1997). Classrooms are known to have high levels of background noise and are inconsistent with recommendations for optimal listening (Picard & Bradley, 2001) or accepted standards (ASHA, n.d.). Furthermore, degraded acoustic conditions have been related to poorer performance on speech-recognition tasks even for children with normal hearing (Finitzo-Hieber & Tillman, 1978; Nabelek & Pickett, 1974) and the impact of classroom noise on academic performance may be greater for children with special educational needs (Shield & Dockrell, 2008).
FM systems are devices that enhance the signal-to-noise ratio in noisy environments with high amounts of background noise, such as classrooms, and allow the listener clear access to the teacher’s voice without also amplifying background noise. A limited amount of existing research on the use of FM systems for children with normal hearing suggests that use of amplification technology is associated with academic and social advantages. Provision of FM systems to students with dyslexia results in increased teacher rating and objective measurement of reading skills in a classroom setting (Hornickel et al., 2012; Purdy et al., 2009), but the specific effects of FM system use on phonological awareness skills has not been evaluated.
This study investigated the benefit of an FM system during phonological awareness intervention in two studies. Study 1 evaluated the effects of utilizing an FM system during phonological awareness intervention for students at risk for dyslexia with phonological awareness weaknesses in a classroom setting. Study 2 investigated the acquisition of phonological awareness skills targeted during a virtual intervention with simulated classroom noise compared to a condition with a simulated benefit of a classroom-based FM system.
In Study 1, four participants received in-person phonological awareness intervention in small groups during the school day. They were assigned to wear an FM system during lessons targeting one skill; during lessons targeting the other skills they received the intervention alone. In Study 2, three participants completed one-on-one phonological awareness intervention through Zoom. They were assigned to learn one skill with simulated classroom noise and another with the simulated benefit of a classroom FM system. Both studies utilized adapted alternating treatment single-case designs and assessed performance using daily assessments on the phonological awareness skills targeted during intervention and one additional phonological awareness skill.
In Study 1, two participants demonstrated quicker and more pronounced improvement on the skill learned while wearing the FM system, suggesting FM systems show promise as a tool to use during phonological awareness training. In Study 2, two participants made gains on the phonological awareness skills assessed. However, a difference was not evident between skills learned in the simulated classroom FM and simulated classroom noise condition.
The results of Study 1 indicate that FM systems show promise during phonological awareness instruction. However, the finding from Study 2 that simulation of the signal-to-ratio of FM systems was not associated with improved performance compared to simulated classroom noise suggests that aspects of FM systems beyond the increased signal-to-noise ratio alone may be responsible for the benefit they provided. Additionally, findings from Study 2 indicate that virtual phonological awareness instruction holds promise as a method of delivery.

Both Ankara and Riyadh appear confused by making contradictory statements on the Syrian issue, said Georges Masse, head of the International Affairs department at the American University of Science and Technology in Beirut.
“They talk about a ceasefire and at the same time threaten to invade. Something’s not right,” he told RIA Novosti. “They lack a clear strategy, they are utterly confused. If they attempt to enact a military scenario, that would mean the end of the world for them. They have to be mad to try and do this.”
Masse also pointed out that both Turkey and Saudi Arabia are facing a host of internal problems.
If Ankara were to invade Syria it will inevitably clash with the Syrian Kurds, which may lead to a Kurdish uprising in Turkey. At the same time, Riyadh is already engaged in a protracted and costly conflict in Yemen, so opening a ‘second front’ in Syria would hardly be a prudent move.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia deployed a contingent of military aircraft to the Turkish Incirlik airbase. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the warplanes were sent there to take part in anti-Daesh operations, adding that Ankara and Riyadh could also launch a ground operation against terrorists in Syria.
“If there is a strategy (against Daesh) then Turkey and Saudi Arabia could enter into a ground operation,” he declared.
Earlier it was also reported that Saudi Arabia was ready to send its special forces as part of US-led coalition. | <urn:uuid:9299a6cc-d708-4fc2-9649-ec19a0131a4d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.islamicinvitationturkey.com/dangerous-games-ankara-riyadh-lack-clear-strategy-on-syria/ | 2021-11-30T11:56:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358973.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130110936-20211130140936-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.97029 | 320 | [

Squirrel Fox II is a one of a kind commissioned work. This is a re-imagined version of my very first posable creature (made in 2013), which was intened to be a purple & blue fox. It was dubbed "Squirrel Fox" after someone said it looked a bit more like a squirrel than a fox.
The face and paw pads are sculpted in polymer clay, while the rest of the body is soft and constructed over a wire armature. Squirrel-Fox II is built from scratch and hand painted (yes, even the eyes are painted clay, not glass!) The synthetic fur is hand sewn to the body and remains soft.

Grey day for Becher Chase punters wanting Grand National tips
Some early Grand National clues could be in order for punters this weekend as the big Aintree fences are tackled for the first time this season in the Becher Chase.
Hello Bud and West End Rocker are two horses almost certain to be involved in both races and will be among the most closely followed and scrutinised for their performance.
However, some punters have an infatuation with grey horses and it could be they who are celebrating come the end of the Becher Chase.
Looking solely at trends, it is hard to put up much of a case for Another Palm, but the horse clearly has a lot going for him and is joint favourite at 7/1 to win the Becher Chase.
The ease at which he travelled and the security of his jumping were particularly apparent when finishing second at Cork on his latest start and these will be valuable assets at Aintree.
Meanwhile, he has previously placed over 3m6f, which shows he should have the stamina to see out the 3m2f of the Becher Chase, even if the ground is on the soft side.
The obvious sticking points are the record of horses aged under eight in the past decade and the fact that Another Palm is still a relative novice in the jumping game.
Punters looking for an alternative could do worse than side with another grey in Swing Bill.
He has already run credibly twice this season so there should be no fitness issues and the fact that he has previous experience of the Aintree fences could be an advantage.
Swing Bill is 10/1 to win the Becher Chase and fits many of the trends of former winners, in terms of the strength of his official rating, where he finished on his last start and the recentness of his latest racecourse appearance. | <urn:uuid:846c2ac4-b33c-4a3c-b12f-dc26e70ef714> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://sports.ladbrokes.com/news/archive/2011/12/grey-day-for-becher-chase-punters-wanting-grand-national-tips | 2021-12-02T03:42:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964361064.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202024322-20211202054322-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.979492 | 379 | [

Although we require assumptions to conduct our lives, we run into problems when we base our actions on assumptions that appear true but turn out to be faulty. Starting with an anecdote about a dog that seemingly defied the laws of physics, Doc will describe the value of an open-minded nonjudgmental stance that holds lightly even our most deeply-held beliefs about ourselves and reality.
Fred (aka “Doc”) Heide is best known locally as co-founder, performer and playwright with American Folklore Theatre (AFT), where he co-authored Belgians in Heaven and Packer Fans from Outer Space (both with Lee Becker and James Kaplan). Doc is also associate professor at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, where he has taught for 30 years. An associate editor of PsycCRITIQUES (formerly The APA Review of Books), he teaches at the Medical College of Wisconsin and has published professionally on such topics as charisma, meditation, and the effects of musical theatre on attitudes.

Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions in place and with regard to travel and socialising, the British Pie Association will be taking the opportunity to publish reviews we have in our “to do” folder. These reviews were compiled earlier this year and at the latter quarter of 2019. All of the reviews published while the restrictions are in place were gathered several weeks and in some cases several months before any measure were put in place to limit travel or social gatherings.
The British Pie Association would like to make it crystal clear that we take the social and economic challenges the world faces at this moment in time very seriously. Our updates are in no way encouraging people to break, bend or ignore the rules and guidelines set out by the various Governments across the world.
Please continue to read our reviews and support us on social media during this difficult time and when the restrictions are lifted, then will be the time to travel and visit the various establishments highlighted in our reviews, and of course to sample their exceedingly tasty pies.
Stay safe, stay home, support your National Health Service, and save lives.
Thank you from all of us at the British Pie Association.

INCI ADOPTED NAME
Caprylhydroxamic Acid (and) Propanediol
Zeastat* is a 100% natural preservation boosting effect at pH 4 – 8; effectively controls yeast and mold. As opposed to traditional methods of preservation, hurdle technology is a formulation approach whereby combinations of ingredients and other aspects of formulation are used along with good manufacturing principles. Zeastat includes caprylhydroxamic acid (CHA), a chelating agent, and medium spreading emollient that also has antimicrobial properties.
By using Zeastat in the practice of hurdle technology, formulations that pass challenge tests can be created without the inclusion of traditional preservatives such as for example, parabens, isothiazolinones, and formaldehyde donors. These traditional preservatives are currently seen as undesirable by consumers. A special benefit of Zeastat is that it performs superbly at neutral pH, a state where many other alternative preservation systems are ineffective.

While our Wisconsin weather lets us practice rotational grazing (feeding on pasture) during the spring, summer and fall months, the winter is a different story for feeding our goats. In the fall when the pasture quality starts to drop, we’ll let the goats have access to the barn and start to feed them hay, usually in a feeder in the pasture closest to the barn. Just like during grazing season, our goats always have access to fresh water and loose minerals (think goat multi-vitamin).
We feed hay outside for a few reasons. First, the goats get regular exercise. And, second, is to keep the barn cleaner, moving the hay debris and extra manure waste outside. As a bonus, the manure also helps fertilize our pasture. The goats are fed in the barn when the temperature drops below zero. They do great in the cold weather and grow and impressive, thick winter coat, much like you’d see on a dog.
We’ve been lucky this last week, as it’s been seasonably warm for Wisconsin in January with day temps in the mid-30s. Now, I’m closely watching the snow melt, mud and puddles to make sure the pasture doesn’t get too damaged by all the hoof traffic, and more importantly, the goats’ hooves aren’t exposed to too much moisture, which can cause infections. If it gets too muddy and wet, we will have to start feeding in the barn again until the ground surface freezes again.
In another month we’ll be getting ready for kidding (baby goats!). Depending on the mobility of the pregnant goats, I may start to do more feeding in the barn to give their legs a little more rest.
I own and manage Cylon Rolling Acres in northwestern Wisconsin. On my farm I raise Boer - Kiko meat goats on pasture.
Cylon (pronounced Si-lon) is the name of our township in St. Croix County, Wisconsin. Sorry fans, our farm is not named after the robots of Battlestar Galactica. | <urn:uuid:0826cb08-a1a0-49ec-bb48-398a33a52a79> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.cylonrollingacres.com/farm-blog/archives/01-2017 | 2021-12-06T20:05:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363312.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206194128-20211206224128-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.936062 | 462 | [

Islamabad: Pakistan's Supreme Court has allowed Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF) to continue their activities in the country. A two-member bench on Wednesday rejected an appeal by the government against an interim order of the Lahore High Court on April 5 which had allowed the two groups to continue their welfare work.
The high court had restrained the government from interfering with the social work of the two groups and also allowed their legal activities. Earlier, the Pakistan government had banned companies and individuals from making donations to JuD, FIF, and other organisations on the UN Security Council sanctions list. JuD chief Saeed termed the apex court verdict as a "victory of justice and truth". Officials said JuD's network includes 300 seminaries and schools, hospitals, a publishing house and ambulance service.
The two groups have about 50,000 volunteers and hundreds of other paid workers. Saeed was listed under UN Security Council Resolution 1267 in December 2008. He was released from house arrest in Pakistan in November.
The JuD is believed to be the front organisation for the LeT which is responsible for carrying out the Mumbai attack that killed 166 people. It has been declared as a foreign terrorist organisation by the US in June 2014.
The US Department of the Treasury has designated Saeed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and the US, since 2012, has offered a USD 10 million reward for information that brings Saeed to justice. | <urn:uuid:df99e2b8-f615-43c9-a70e-05c7f0a7fcd0> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.timesnownews.com/international/article/pakistan-sc-allows-hafiz-saeeds-jud-and-fif-to-carry-on-their-activities/284353 | 2021-12-08T11:54:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363510.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208114112-20211208144112-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.975476 | 319 | [

YouTube removes 2 videos and gives You Are Here podcast two strikes, reverses course after CensorTrack asked the platform why it took action: A new BlazeTV podcast, You Are Here hosted by Elijah Schaffer and Sidney Watson, posted its ninth episode to YouTube on Monday, September 20. In the episode, Schaffer and Watson discussed the potential social and psychological harms child masking could cause and the lack of evidence to support child masking as an effective measure to prevent deaths due to COVID-19. YouTube removed the full podcast episode and a clip from the episode according to both Schaffer and YouTube. Schaffer also said in an Instagram video that YouTube gave the channel two strike infractions, which usually prevents a channel's ability to upload, post, or live stream for two weeks. Such a penalty is unusual for a brand new channel as YouTube's Community Guidelines typically allow for a warning strike and two additional strikes within a 90 day period before a third strike would remove a channel from the platform entirely. MRC's CensorTrack contacted YouTube asking why it took such action and the next day YouTube partially reversed its penalty on the You Are Here podcast account. Schaffer tweeted that the channel's two strikes were reduced to a warning and that YouTube reinstated the clip it had previously removed. According to YouTube, the platform rightly removed the full episode in accordance with its COVID-19 misinformation policies, but it removed the clip in error. | <urn:uuid:9f258902-c799-456d-b62c-3f905a58b2be> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://censortrack.org/case/you-are-here-podcast | 2021-11-27T14:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358189.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127133237-20211127163237-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.961927 | 288 | [

To get up at five-thirty on a Thursday morning in the middle of a week where, thanks to presidential debates and baseball playoff games, I’ve not gotten enough sleep anyway seemed like a ridiculous idea. To spend a couple of hours walking from Chavis Park to the State Capitol in Raleigh when I had a new menu to finish and errands to run before work, not to mention an eleven hour day ahead of me, seemed a less than prudent choice on my part. And yet, when Ginger told me of the email invitation she had received from People of Faith Against the Death Penalty to join in the NAACP “Pilgrimage” to kick off its sixty-fifth state convention, making meaning felt more important than making sense. So we set the alarm, got up, and drove across the triangle to join the other early morning pilgrims.
By the time the sun had risen, we were about fifteen strong standing in the parking lot, with six or seven camera people and reporters hovering around us. A car pulled up and an older African-American woman emerged wearing a purple suit with clergy collar. She had a booming voice and a powerful personal presence. She stepped into the middle of our circle and, without saying a word, began to sing:
O God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home.
She welcomed us, gathered us, and then launched into a prayer that managed to encapsulate much of the biblical call to justice and the history of civil rights in our state in her four or five minute entreaty. She then explained we were part of a pilgrimage that began in Wilmington NC several days ago. Across the state, groups had gathered to walk a total of sixty-five miles, one for each year of the NAACP’s existence in North Carolina. Then she said, “I know we are a small group, but that doesn’t bother me. Jesus began with just twelve.”
And with those words we began our quixotic march to the Capitol. In the tradition of those who had marched before us for similar reasons, we chanted:
No justice – No peace.
No justice – No peace.
What do we want? JUSTICE
When do we want it? NOW
Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me round
turn me round turn me round
I’m gonna keep on walking, keep on talking
walking on to freedom land
We were young and old, black and white, strong and weak, pounding the pavement in our quest for justice. One man in his eighties walked the whole way leaning on his cane. When we got to the state house, we gathered for a brief rally – more prayer, more singing, and some brief words of encouragement. We had not been there long when five or six of the State Capitol Police came to tell us the old man with the cane could not sit on the steps of the Capitol because we didn’t have a permit. I’m sure you will all be glad to know the Capitol Police are so diligent in keeping the building safe from domestic terrorists armed with canes, banners, and songs.
Sleep safely tonight.
At the restaurant at Duke, I have a student who wants to learn more about cooking who works with us a couple of nights a week. On Monday I asked him if he was taking any interesting classes and he began telling me about a philosophy/logic course he was taking where they were discussing the Prisoners’ Dilemma. The term was new to me. As he explained it, if two people get arrested for a crime, are separated, and offered the change to make a deal, the dilemma is whether or not to cooperate with the police. The consequences, as far as jail time, change depending on whether both remain silent, both talk, or one or the other capitulates. What my student took from the discussion was cooperation was basically illogical and unscientific. The most logical course was to get the best deal you could get for yourself and let everyone else do the same.
In the midst of searing salmon and grilling steaks, we talked about whether life is best, or even most logically, measured by acquisitions or relationships. What I took away from our discussion was his premise was trust is an illogical act. It doesn’t make sense.
It does, however, make meaning.
“This is what the Lord requires of you,” Micah said: “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.” Those magnificent words are an invitation not only to life, but also futility and pain, because they call us to incarnate trust as a fundamental human trait, regardless of logic. We are called to hold each other accountable; called to choose to live redemptively rather than logically; called to follow in the steps of a God who dreamed up falling stars and falling leaves, peacock feathers and peonies, prophets and protest marches. Our faith is an exercise in fundamental and fantastic futility.
With each day’s (hour’s) new of the deepening financial crisis around the world, we will be faced with the logical temptation to make sure we get what’s ours. Cooperation doesn’t make sense; everyone for his or herself. Who had the time or energy to make sure we’re doing justice or loving kindness when life feels so unsure?
On the drive back to Durham it was daylight and we could see the banks of wildflowers along either side of the interstate. I couldn’t help but hear the wonderfully illogical words of the One who tramped around with his band of twelve as if they could change the world: “Consider the lilies . . . .”
It was as if the flowers themselves were singing:
Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won. | <urn:uuid:a44e6e27-ccf6-40aa-8230-562d4464a198> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://donteatalone.com/uncategorized/an-exercise-in-faith-and-futility | 2021-11-27T14:18:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358189.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127133237-20211127163237-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.969153 | 1,319 | [

«Noise Protection Folds»
(A10 Tauernautobahn, Austria), Competition, 20061. Mention
||Designing Noise Protection Folds|
||Lisa MacKenzie (Edinburgh, n-o-m-a-d)|
|Dr.Ing. Josef Taverner|
Instead of the spreading tendency of hiding highways behind noise protection walls, and creating a monotonous journey, the goal of the submission is to increase the relationship to and perception of the surrounding Alpen landscape, while simultaneously reducing noise emissions. The project consists of combined noise protection measures such as plantings, earth walls, and folded wooden walls to accent particular areas which require special attention from the driver.
The folded panels subtly provoke a decrease in speed, increasing the driver's cognition at entrance and exit ramps, parking areas, emergency exits and calling boxes. At the same time, the folds may serve in certain areas as information panels for the tourism-based region. Transparent panels open views onto the wealth of natural and cultural elements in the landscape. The planting strategy on the outside of the walls encourages long-term and seasonal changes. A lactose coating steers the growth of lichen, and time becomes a design element. | <urn:uuid:74a435cf-b255-47ae-9426-d616498d40af> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://kmt-arch.com/landscapeurbanism/noiseprotectionfolds/tabid/98/Default.aspx | 2021-11-30T18:48:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359065.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130171559-20211130201559-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.847006 | 311 | [

Sagent Pharmaceuticals issued a voluntary nationwide recall of 10 lots of methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection after detecting higher-than-specified impurities during routine quality testing.
The specific impurity has yet to be determined, the company said in a statement, adding that it is not aware of any adverse events to patients who might have used the lots.
The products were manufactured by Gland Pharma Ltd.—which is owned by China's Fosun Pharma—and distributed by Sagent Pharmaceuticals. The impurities were at a level that have the potential to decrease effectiveness of the product in patients.
The lot numbers being recalled were distributed to hospitals, wholesalers and distributors in the U.S. from April 2017 through February 2018.
Methylprednisolone sodium succinate is used as an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid for the treatment of conditions like allergic reactions, dermatologic diseases, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, hematologic disorders and other diseases and disorders.
Illinois-based Sagent issued a voluntary recall in 2016 of antibiotics manufactured by one of its India-based contractors after a customer complained that small, dark particulate matter was found in the solution after it was reconstituted. The foreign matter found in the vials was identified as iron oxide. | <urn:uuid:f29d3ecf-9309-4cd6-bacf-13bda11319de> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.fiercepharma.com/manufacturing/sagent-issues-voluntary-recall-injectable-anti-inflammatory-due-to-impurities | 2021-12-07T02:13:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363332.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207014802-20211207044802-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.973269 | 267 | [

By Kelvin Gilbert
At the time Mr. Godwin Emefiele assumed office as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in June 2014, he was almost immediately confronted by high inflation, falling oil revenue as well as value-eroding local currency as speculators and round-trippers held sway. In fact, the country was slipping into recession. Indeed, the situation called for a pragmatic solution, even unconventional one. That was exactly what the new CBN helmsman did, a step consistent with his mission to lead a central bank that channels its energies vital energy into building a resilient financial system that can serve the growth and development-oriented needs of the country.
With a clear vision to ensure that the Central Bank of Nigeria is more people focused, his policies and programmes were geared towards diversifying the economy, supporting job creation, reducing the high level of import bills, especially food imports, improving access to credit for Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), deepening the bank’s intervention programme in the agricultural sector, and building a robust payment system infrastructure that will help drive inclusion in the economy generally. The core of Emefiele’s innovative stance at the CBN has been development financing. He has creatively implemented strategies necessary to diversify the productive base of Nigeria’s economy, thus, creating thousands of jobs in agriculture and conserving foreign exchange.
To him, the CBN was to act as financial catalyst by targeting strategic sectors that could create jobs on a mass scale and reduce the country’s import bills. He declared that the CBN would deploy developmental initiatives to create an enabling environment with appropriate incentives to empower innovative entrepreneurs to drive growth and development. So far, Emefiele has lived up to his promise. The innovative policies he initiated such as Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP) launched by President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2015 has triggered a revolution in the value chain of agri-business. This novel development finance intervention scheme ensured that Nigeria emerged from being a net importer of rice to becoming a major producer of rice, supplying key markets in neighbouring countries. Today, the country produces nine million metric tonnes of rice per annum, enough for the country to even export. Statistics reveal that the programme has so far financed over 3.1 million farmers to the tune of over N492 billion for the cultivation of 3,801,397 hectares across 21 commodities through 23 Participating Financial Institutions in the 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
In terms of job creation, the programme has generated over three million direct and indirect jobs across the agricultural value chain. In a bid to encourage local manufacturers to consider local options in sourcing their raw materials, the CBN, under Emefiele, restricted access to foreign exchange on 43 items. Four of these items alone, at the time, constituted over N1trillion of Nigeria’s annual import bill. In addition to this, the Bank also established an Investors and Exporters (I&E) window, which allowed investors and exporters to purchase and sell foreign exchange at the prevailing market rate.
Other policies which the CBN introduced under Emefiele to empower the people and stimulate the economy include, the Youth Entrepreneurship Development Programme (YEDP), Accelerated Agricultural Development Scheme (AADS), the Agri-business/Small and Medium Enterprises Investment Scheme (AGSMEIS), the National Collateral Registry (NCR) and lately the Creative Industry Financing Initiative (CIFI), which is a collaboration between the CBN and the Bankers’ Committee.
Explaining the rationale for these initiatives by the CBN, Emefiele said, “We took these decisions in recognition of our role as an agent of development. They are aimed at ensuring self-sufficiency to reduce Nigeria’s excessive dependence on imports. “We have invigorated our development finance activities. We have maintained a particular focus on supporting farmers, entrepreneurs as well as small and medium scale businesses, through our various intervention programmes such as the Anchor Borrowers Programme, Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) and the National Collateral Registry.
“We recently introduced the Real Sector Support fund; a facility meant to provide cheap funding at no more than nine percent interest rate to new projects in the agriculture and manufacturing sectors. The aim is to boost output and create jobs.” It is in light of the success of the Anchor Borrowers Programme with regard to the cultivation of rice and maize that the Monetary Policy Committee in its meeting on the 21st of November 2018 recommended that the Anchor Borrowers programme be applied to other areas such as palm oil, tomatoes and fisheries among others.
This renewed focus by the CBN to support improved growth in the agriculture and manufacturing sectors in Nigeria, is clearly in line with the federal government’s determination to diversify the base of Nigeria’s economy away from reliance on crude oil, so as to insulate the economy from the vagaries and shocks associated with volatility in crude oil prices. Indeed, today, Emefiele is regarded as the best friend of farmers. This, of course, is because no previous CBN governor has shown as much interest in agriculture as he has done.
A public policy analyst, Mr Innocent Onyeabuchi, said the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP) of the apex bank revolutionized rice production, as it currently has over three million farmers enrolled, with over 10 million jobs created (direct and indirect). Mr Onyeabuchi in a recent report said, “The Investors and Exporters’ Forex Window created by Emefiele attracted over $50 billion investments into the country within a spate of three years.” Onyeabuchi further said that the CBN governor has been able to rally commercial banks’ chief executives to support his vision in growing the economy by setting aside five per cent of their annual profit to finance agriculture and the real sector to create jobs and wealth. “By this, the CBN is promoting the Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL). The Bankers’ Committee and NIPOST agreed to establish the national microfinance bank in 774 local government areas of the country to make cheap and sustainable credit at single digit interest rate available to the economic active but poor rural dwellers, particularly the farmers and petty businesses,” he said. Also commending the creative and innovative policies put in place by the CBN governor, General Secretary of the National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria (NUTGWTN), Comrade Issa Aremu, at an interactive session in Lagos said, “There is availability of local rice in Nigeria. The argument of CBN concerning the 43 items is tenable. Why should we make scarce foreign exchange available for people to import products that we can produce within the country? For us today, that has protected a lot of jobs.”
In the course of Emefiele’s tenure as governor, the Bank has also introduced critical interventions such as the Nigeria Electricity Market Stabilisation Facility (NEMSF), the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading-Payment Assurance Facility (NBET-PAF), the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI), and the Shared Agent Network Expansion Facility (SANEF), among others, to directly support enterprises with huge potential for job creation, conservation of foreign exchange, import substitution as well as financial inclusion. In order to fully revive textile industries across the nation, the CBN also decided to provide financial support to textile manufacturers at single digit rate, to refit, retool and upgrade their factories in order to produce high quality textile materials for the local and export market. This CBN governor has laid the foundation expected to plug the loss of over $2 billion on textile importation annually.
His engagements with Oil Palm Value Chain Stakeholders (Plantation Owners, Refiners, Research Institutes and Associations) have also been yielding fruits. Emefiele has helped to catalyze and fast-track investments across the oil palm value chain. Oil palm is on the forex excluded list. Now, official figures indicate that importation of oil palm had declined by about 40 per cent from the peak of 506,000 MTs in 2014 to 302,000 MT in 2017. Emefiele has clearly changed the narrative.

|Leo stopping long enough to get his picture taken.|
He waits for this all day. He's happy now!
Once I fasten the leash to his collar, we're on our way, and he's deliriously happy to go wherever my feet take him. He gets to go places he can't go alone. He sniffs and marks distant territory. His tail wags almost as fast as his legs go. Walking along, he pokes my calf with his nose as if to say, "Isn't this great!" He's excited to return home. He gets a couple treats and he retires to his bed where he lays panting; watching me with awe and admiration, as if to say, "Wasn't that something!"
Is our walk with Christ much different?
Matthew 11:29 - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Galatians 5:17 - For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Romans 6:16 - Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?Leo's collar is like a yoke. Though a yoke evokes an image of confinement, the yoke Christ speaks of is different. It's liberating. It keeps us from going places that trouble our souls. That yoke is provided to us by the one who made us and it fits perfectly. I believe that yoke is the Holy Spirit himself and he is our bond to Christ. That yoke is comforting and we welcome it. We look to Christ in gratitude as he takes us with him where we could not go alone. We get to explore the new world Christ made for us that exists in him. This is the yoke we take upon ourselves.
The other yoke leads to sin and death and the evil one imposes it upon us. With either yoke, we face a life filled with forces bigger than ourselves. One way or another, there are forces preventing us from doing everything we want to do. One yoke is connected to the hand of one who steals, kills, and destroys. The other yoke connects us to the hand of one who loves and died for us; who wants us to have life and have it more abundantly.

Whether it's the first voice recording you have of your toddler, the last message from a passed loved one, or important for legal purposes, in many cases, your iPhone voicemail is the most important and precious data on your iPhone. We know that your voicemails are important to you and that's why we made iExplorer the best utility for exporting, backing up or saving your iPhone voicemails to your PC or Mac computer. With iExplorer, we've made it possible for you to access your voicemails either directly from an iPhone or even from an iTunes backup of your iPhone. Additionally, iExplorer digitally exports your voicemails using their original .amr file format, providing you with a 100% lossless copy of the original that can be stored and archived.
What you will need
- An iPhone, iPad, or iPod
- USB cable to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
- A Mac or PC with iTunes installed
Before you begin
If you don't already have iExplorer installed download it by clicking the button below. For more detailed installation instructions, click here.
Follow these steps to save voicemail from an iPhone to your computer:
- Connect your iPhone & open iExplorer.
- Click on the Data tab in the Device Overview screen and click on the Voicemail button
- If you haven't created an iTunes backup yet on this computer, you will be asked whether to make one (choose Yes). If you do already have an iTunes backup, and it's more than 24 hours old, iExplorer will ask whether you'd like to Use Last Backup or Refresh to create a new one.
- Once iExplorer has finished loading your Voicemail, you will now see a list of contacts & numbers. Select any of the names or numbers in the list to preview the voicemail. To Export the selected voicemail, click the 'Export Selected Voicemail' button, or you can Export All.
iExplorer can access and export your iPhone voicemails from either the iPhone itself or from an iTunes Backup already on your computer. This tutorial walks through both possibilities.
Access Voicemails on Your iPhone
To access your iPhone's voicemail, open iExplorer and connect your iPhone to your computer. You should see the Device Overview screen appear. From this screen navigate to Data --> Voicemail or from the left column, under your device's name, navigate to Backups --> Voicemail.
Access iPhone Voicemail from an iTunes Backup
When you create a backup of your iPhone using iTunes, your device's voicemail and other data are saved to your computer, but they get buried deep within various semi-encrypted databases. iExplorer can do the heavy lifting for you and make this database readily available and prettily formatted so you can read and export it on your computer.
To access the voicemail from an iPhone backup, first open iExplorer, then click Explore Backups. From the left column, under the Browse iTunes Backups section, select the backup you want to use. Then within that backup select, Voicemail.
Preview & Export iPhone Voicemail
Your voicemails will load in the main window with columns showing the date and sender or phone number for each one. Select a voicemail, and you'll see additional information about it appear in the right panel. You can click the Play button to listen to it.
To export your voicemails to your computer, select any that you want (hold down the Command key to select multiple). When you're done selecting all the ones you want, click the Export Selected Voicemail button.
To export all voicemails, click on the Export All button.
iExplorer exports all voicemail data in its original .amr file format. This export process is 100% lossless. You can then listen to the exported iPhone voicemail files using QuickTime, iTunes and other popular audio players.

Busy day over on the South Side as Pitt wrapped up there second weekend of football camps. While there were a few big-time 2017 prospects, most of the bigger names are in the Class of 2018.
I’ll be providing updates all evening, including interviews with the players.
**One of the biggest names to show up on the South Side was 2018 defensive tackle Taron Vincent from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Vincent is a 4-star prospect with offers from schools like Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA and Wisconsin.
Following his weekend, I spoke to Vincent about his experience at Pitt.
“The camp was good. I had a lot of fun and good some good work. The coaches said I did really well and can’t wait till I get back on campus”, said Vincent.
“I talked to Coach Narduzzi before and after the camp. We just talked about the overall visit and just talked about the tradition at Pitt and the culture of the team.”
Despite being a younger player, this wasn’t Vincent’s first time in Pittsburgh.
“I’ve been on campus a few times when my brother was being recruited by Pitt. I liked the city a lot, it was nice and I really like the academic buildings. Also, the football facilities were really nice and I liked how they shared them with the Steelers. I’d rate them a 8/10 and I think Pitt will be high on my list. I’m probably going to be back for the Penn State game”, said Vincent.
**Probably the biggest surprise of the weekend was the visit by 2017 4-star safety Deon Jones from Oxon Hill, Maryland. Hill, who visited with teammates, has offers from Pitt, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan State, Ohio State and Penn State.
I’m hoping to talk with Jones a bit later to get his reaction.
UPDATE (5:49 PM)-
**North Allegheny 2017 tight end and Temple commit Griffin Sestili was in attendance this afternoon. I asked Sestili his reason for attending the camp today.
“Both my parents are Pitt alums and my dad played there. I wanted to check out the camp to compete with great competition and put in a good days work and become a better player”, said Sestili.
UPDATE (6:05 PM)-
**For the second time in the last week, 2018 linebacker Javar Garrett (Carneys Point, New Jersey) visited Pittsburgh. When I talked to Garrett earlier this week, he told me that the Pitt coaches wanted to work him out before offering him a scholarship.
Just a few minutes ago, I talked with Garrett and asked him how things went today.
“My experience at camp was good and the feedback I got from the coaches was good, they felt I did really well”, said Garrett. “I spoke with Coach Conklin and he told me that he was gonna watch the film from the camp and tell me where we stand but he said from what he saw I did really good.”
Since he returned to Pittsburgh so soon, I asked Garrett if anything stood out to him today and he told me it was a conversation with one of the Pitt coaches.
“Something simple as stance stood out to me. Coach Harley just told us to lean forward until we feel like we are about to fall forward and if we do it’s fine. It helps you play faster and react to the game, it helped me out a lot, I could tell the difference”, said Garrett.
“If I were to get an offer, it would mean a lot to me, just because they feel as though I’m a good enough player to play in their program for free. After my visit, Pitt ranks pretty high and I would consider going there if they offered me”, said Garrett.
UPDATE (6:30 PM)-
**A prospect from Scranton made his way across the state looking to get noticed by the Pitt coaches. Jacob Watts (6-2, 225) from Scranton High School worked out today for Pat Narduzzi and his assistants.
“Camp was great, super organized, everything ran smoothly, and best of all, each player was able to display their talents with the abundant amount of reps given to each camper”, said Watts.
“Throughout the whole camp there was positive constructive criticism which was nice and definitely helped. I personally spoke with Coach Salem being he’s the recruiter for my area. He and I spoke about where I would be going and when between TE and LB. He wanted to evaluate me at both positions to see where i would excel more at”, said Watts.
“After camp he said I was definitely an offensive player, that I need the ball in my hands. I also spoke with Coach Kabala briefly before and after camp about how i was doing and good luck wishes. Him and I gained a friendship/relationship, if you will, after Pitt’s second Junior Day. ”
I asked Watts what impressed him most about his visit?
“Honestly, the practice fields. I know it may seem unimportant to most but its impressive to see how well kept they were. For having two high caliber teams practicing on it so often it looks like its never been touched. Also the brand new turf field is super nice. Also, the camaraderie between all of the attending Pitt football players was a sight to see. When we had our 15 minute break before 7v7 they all came together and joked around as if they were all best friends since childhood, and again the level of organization was insane.”
So, did Pitt talk to Watts about an offer?
“A while back, Junior Day actually, Coach Salem and I talked about offers. He told me I’m a great athlete, they just don’t know where to put me yet. I still have a ton of proving to do, but when the season comes, I think and hope I will get an offer,” said Watts. “Pitt has always been Top 3 on my list of interests, the campus and facilities match my standards exceedingly!”
UPDATE (7:31 PM)-
**Pitt offered a scholarship to 2017 3-star running back Malik Davis from Tampa, Florida. Davis (5-11, 187) holds offers from Arizona, Boston College, Indiana, Maryland. Miami (FL), Missouri, North Carolina, Purdue, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
UPDATE (8:07 PM)-
**Just talked to Malik Davis about his offer from Pitt.
“I was pretty excited. It was a process though, I’ve been talking back and forth with Pitt for sometime and now they’ve just decided to pull the trigger. I think that the Pitt offense fits me pretty well and I wanna get up there on a visit pretty soon, not sure the date yet”, said Davis. | <urn:uuid:2a648e44-c8c0-4b47-b8f7-e856bded2284> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2016/06/12/sunday-pitt-camp-notes/ | 2021-11-30T20:39:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359073.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130201935-20211130231935-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.984284 | 1,487 | [

I have lived in the Lake Alice neighborhood for more than 25 years. I am one of the 240 residents of our area that has asked the city of Snoqualmie to stop its efforts to connect the massive Snoqualmie Ridge development to our rural-zoned Lake Alice Road. Despite our clear statement against the connector, the city appears intent in its efforts to go ahead. Paving of their connector will likely start next week.
Lake Alice Road is a steep, narrow, rural road. We have a King County trail that crosses it where the speed limit is 15 miles per hour. The trail is where many of you come for walks and where young families teach children to ride bicycles. This is presently a road that fits the rural character of our neighborhood. Let’s not ruin that.
I can see why Snoqualmie wants to cut through our neighborhood. It will shorten their trips from Snoqualmie Ridge to Redmond, the Plateau and Fall City. We kindly ask the residents to please go around. Our Lake Alice Road has too much traffic now. Snoqualmie and its developers have repeatedly promised not to make this connection. Now they are moving to do just that.
Snoqualmie Ridge was built for high density. It is served by the four-lane thoroughfare that joins Interstate 90. That is the kind of roadway needed to serve the Ridge. Developers of the Ridge are required to put in massive utility improvements to serve the Ridge. Allowing a cut through little Lake Alice Road bypasses all those important requirements.
What do we care about here, neighborhoods or the shortest distance between two points?
Please join with us to keep common sense and safety for Lake Alice Road. Send your contact information to us at [email protected] or Lake Alice Community Association. P.O.

Fact Sheet 2007–3077
In 2007 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed an assessment of the potential for undiscovered, technically recoverable (assuming the absence of sea ice) oil and gas resources in the East Greenland Rift Basins Province. Northeast Greenland has been selected as the prototype for the new U.S. Geological Survey Circum-Arctic Resource Appraisal (CARA) because the area shares important characteristics with many arctic basins, including sparse data, significant resource potential, great geological uncertainty, and significant technical barriers to exploration and development. This study, which supersedes a previous USGS assessment of the same area completed in 2000, was necessary because of new information made available through collaboration with the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), which significantly changes the geological understanding of the area. As defined for CARA, the province includes an area of approximately 500,000 square kilometers, most of which underlies less than 500 meters of water offshore east of Greenland between 70° and 82° North.

UFC 212: Jose Aldo Fires Back at Max Holloway, Following Latter’s Threat to “Take Over” Rio de Janeiro
By FCF Staff
Jose Aldo didn’t have to engage in too much trash talk leading up to his bout last summer with Frankie Edgar, but things are different this time around, as he gets set to face Max Holloway.
Aldo and Holloway will fight in the main event of UFC 212, which will take place on June 3rd in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before the bout was booked, Holloway accused Aldo of ducking him, and since the fight was finalized, the two have continued to exchange words through the media.
Case in point, recently Holloway warned Aldo that like a “king”, he’s going to take over the Brazilian’s “own village”. Aldo was asked to respond to those comments, while speaking to the Brazilian media recently, and the featherweight champ said this (quote via MMA Fighting):
“F—k no. Bullsh-t. Won’t take anything,” Aldo said. “He’s just another one who will try, and he doesn’t know how trained I am. I’m excited about this fight because of everything he said. That only motivated me every time he talked. You can be sure that he won’t take any kingdom here.”
“I’ll knock him out,” added Aldo, while discussing the upcoming bout. “I’m done with wars. I’ve been in many wars already. You can be sure that there’s a knockout coming.”
Aldo is coming off a decision win over Edgar last July, while Holloway stopped Anthony Pettis in December, and became the interim 145 champ. | <urn:uuid:dba24af0-4c32-4d4f-bcaf-206d4f451c85> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://fcfighter.com/ufc-212-jose-aldo-fires-back-at-max-holloway-following-latters-threat-to-take-over-rio-de-janeiro/ | 2021-12-04T00:55:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362923.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204003045-20211204033045-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.966091 | 397 | [

Pakhtakor coach Samvel Babayan believes the Uzbekistan champions can continue their positive start to the year against Saudi Arabia’s Al Shabab in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday.
On their return to the continental competition on Tuesday after a one year absence, Igor Sergeev scored the winner with five minutes remaining at Pakhtakor Stadium as Babayan’s 10 men recorded a 2-1 win over Iran’s Naft Tehran.
And with the new domestic campaign not beginning until next weekend’s season-opening Super Cup against fellow AFC Champions qualifiers and cup winners Lokomotiv, Pakhtakor’s next outing of 2015 sees Babayan’s side travel to Riyadh to face an Al Shabab side who began their continental campaign with a goalless draw in the United Arab Emirates against Al Ain.
“We are not in good form yet because we haven’t yet started our league season and we will need to play more games to get up to speed,” said Pakhtakor coach Samvel Babayan following the win over Naft as 10-time Uzbekistan champions Pakhtakor began their record 12th appearance in the continental competition with a win having failed to qualify for the first time last year.
“I hope we can play better in the next matches.”
Also on Group B on Tuesday, Naft entertain inaugural AFC Champions League winners Al Ain with both sides seeking their first win of the campaign.
Naft had been able to cancel out Kakhi Makharadze’s third minute opener for Pakhtakor on Tuesday as Ali Ghorbani equalised for the visitors following Sherzodbek Karimov’s red card only for Sergeev to net the late winner.
Al Ain enjoyed the better of the chances against Al Shabab, but last season’s AFC Champions League top scorer Asamoah Gyan in particular was unable to find a way past goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah for the 2014 semi-finalists.
Pakhtakor’s domestic rivals Bunyodkor, meanwhile, will look to build on their opening 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia champions Al Nassr as the two-time semi-finalists entertain Iran’s Persepolis in Group A.
On Tuesday, Mohsen Bengar, Hadi Norozi and Mohammad Noori scored as Persepolis made the ideal start with a 3-0 win over Qatar champions Lekhwiya, who entertain Al Nassr on Matchday Two.
Also on Tuesday in Group F, debutants Guangzhou R&F will look to continue their eye-catching start to the campaign as the Chinese qualifiers entertain Thailand champions Buriram United, while fellow former AFC Champions League winners Seongnam FC and Gamba Osaka complete the second round of fixtures.
Having beaten both Singapore’s Warriors FC and Australia’s Central Coast Mariners in the play-offs to earn a maiden continental campaign, Moroccan striker Abderrazzaq Hamedallah and Wang Song scored as Cosmin Contra’s Guangzhou recorded a 2-0 win over Japanese treble winners Gamba, who won the 2008 AFC Champions League.
Guangzhou currently share top spot in Group F with Buriram, who beat 2010 champions and Korean FA Cup winners Seongnam 2-1 in Thailand.
Finally, K-League Classic champions and 2006 AFC Champions League winners Jeonbuk Motors travel to China to face FA Cup winners Shandong Luneng in Group E, while Japan’s Kashiwa Reysol entertain Vietnam champions Binh Duong.

Digital marketing is generally more affordable than other forms of advertising and is often the most effective way to reach your audience. It’s also a great way to expand your audience and brand awareness. There are tons of reasons why you should consider digital marketing, but here are our top 5!
For someone who might be new to the digital side of marketing, they might think that it would be expensive to get started. The beauty of digital marketing though is that there is not a minimum budget to get started. Other than some initial setup and time, you can get started advertising online for as little as $5.
Traditional advertising methods are still great and effective in some cases but are often much more expensive. Traditional print advertising requires graphic design costs, printing costs, and sometimes placement or mailing costs. Similarly, radio and TV advertisements require production costs and more expensive placement costs to the station that will be broadcasting your message.
Using Facebook or Instagram ads you can use content that you’re already creating to promote your business and there are no hidden fees. You can spend as little as $5 to boost a post. Also, Google AdWords has no minimum budget requirements, although we would suggest having a slightly larger budget to get the best bang for your buck because it’s a longer strategy.
Digital marketing is unique in that at any given moment, you have access to hundreds of thousands of people, and of those people, many of them are the specific customers you need to reach. So how do you limit it to just the ones that are most likely to complete a call to action? Just like in hunting anything else, you target them.
The average person in 2020 spent 145 minutes or just under 2 and a half hours on social media. People have access to their media platforms no matter where they are thanks to their phones. Your brand, message, and name could be, quite literally, at the tips of their fingers at any given moment.
While using these devices, they are constantly freely giving information about themselves, their spending habits, their location. All of these are things we can use to target your ad directly at them.
When using traditional advertising however you don’t have as much control over who is seeing your message. You can send out postcards to people who live in a certain area, or to a specific mailing list, but you can’t control who is listening to your radio ad, or who is watching tv when your commercial comes on, and you definitely can’t control who drives past your billboard on the road.
There are several different forms of digital marketing including search ads, display ads, video ads, and more. Not to mention countless platforms including Google, Facebook, and even email marketing.
Because they are digital, you have the flexibility to quickly start and stop campaigns at any time. With the click of a few buttons and from anywhere you are, you can effectively market your company. When you use your online presence as a line of communication as well, you can also quickly and efficiently respond to those interacting with you.
Need to pivot quickly to take advantage of a new opportunity? Your digital ads can easily be swapped over! Unlike traditional marketing where if something changes you have to create a whole new commercial or design, print, and send a new mailer.
Tracking refers to the process of monitoring your marketing campaigns and how your audience interacts with your posts. By using digital ads you have more metrics at your fingertips to track how your ads are performing, what change they might benefit from, and who you’re reaching.
- With print advertising, you are paying for access to the people who have subscribed to that publication.
- With a billboard, you are paying for access to the people who live in a geographic area along with approximate counts of eyes in vehicles that may see your ad daily.
- With radio and television, you are paying for access to listeners and viewers based on reported estimates of who listens or watches to that station.
All of these are amazing ways to reach a large number of people but they are unable to tell you how a person led to making a purchase. You are left to ask “How did you hear about us?”.
With digital advertising, we can follow how the person interacts with your ad, where they click, and whether or not they make a purchase or attempt to contact you for a service. Using tracking, we can even use this information to show another ad to encourage a person to complete their purchase, commonly referred to as retargeting.
1. Your competitors are doing it!
In case you needed one more reason to give digital marketing a chance, let’s turn on the peer pressure. You should know that most of your competitors are already using digital marketing strategies to engage those in your market and influence their decisions. Digital marketing allows you to remain competitive in the industry and keep up with those in your field. Don’t let the competition get ahead of you without putting up a fight!
We stand ready to help you at Dogwood from start to finish with your digital marketing campaigns. We work closely with you using real-time analytics to make sure you’re successful and see results. We can help by making changes at any point in time to improve campaigns or advertisements faster so you don’t have to.
Each month we analyze the statistics of our client’s digital media presence to determine what is working well and what needs to be altered. We send all of this data over in an easy-to-use report so that you stay in the loop with our efforts.
If you’re ready to get started marketing your business online, give us a call. We are ready to get to work! | <urn:uuid:466f88f9-8b33-424d-880f-309190ee63c6> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://dogwoodmediasolutions.com/5-reasons-you-should-use-digital-marketing/ | 2021-12-07T05:15:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363336.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207045002-20211207075002-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.960025 | 1,193 | [

El Salvador 2008: Day 9 – Santa Maria Virgen
Today is Sunday and our last full day in El Salvador. We returned to Santa Maria Virgen this morning to worship with our sister parish. Father Julio and Mark co-celebrated, with assistance from three Yale Divinity School students who are also visiting El Salvador.
Following the service was a special program for the mothers in the parish, including live music and performances by the children.
On our drive back we stopped at two sobering places. One was at the edge of a shantytown in the center of San Salvador.
Tonight we will reconvene as a group at 6pm for a team meeting to debrief on our week, followed by a last dinner. The main dish will be papusas, the national dish of El Salvador. | <urn:uuid:7e680a9f-7ae4-4db6-a5b0-5531c930f1d4> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.st-marys-episcopal.org/post/el-salvador-2008-day-9-santa-maria-virgen | 2021-11-27T23:35:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358323.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127223710-20211128013710-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.937214 | 165 | [

Getting your 2022 Legacy’s brakes checked before trouble starts is a good idea. There's no need to wait for a problem. That's one reason we offer complimentary brake checks so that we can help you stay one step ahead of serious problems. You can request a free brake check as a standalone service or in addition to work you're already having done on your Subaru, like a battery replacement. However, if routine car care has slipped your mind for quite some time, you might want to pay attention and watch for the following brake issues.
Signs of brake problems include weird noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a sensation that things aren't like they used to be. You know your Subaru Legacy best. And you don't have to wait for something to go wrong. Stay ahead of problems with a free brake check. In general, manufacturers like Subaru advise that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are disassembled and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything? Stop at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. We offer free brake checks seven days a week. Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 2022 Subaru Legacy brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.
How often do 2022 Subaru Legacy brake pads need to be replaced? It largely depends on where and how you drive. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Legacy. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Subaru Legacy brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Legacy, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Subaru’s standards.
Your Subaru Legacy may be powered by a strong engine. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 2022 Subaru Legacy. We offer many affordable brake repairs like brake pad/shoe removal and replacement, brake rotor/drum machining, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service. Make an appointment for Subaru Legacy brake repairs or services today.
You rely on your Subaru Legacy to get you where you need to be. Our team is here to help make sure your vehicle works, day after day. Select from our service menu below to learn about 2022 Subaru repairs.

It's official. We have a record. Yesterday, the most ever "unique visitors' to Elisberg Industries in a day.
And believe me, you are unique. If only because of your quite-evident good taste. And apparent love of articles about razor blades.
Hey, I told you that you'd be the second to know.
Igor Gsaliva, accounts receivable, is still going through the numbers to get the official count. He's very diligent, making a list, and checking it three times. ("Twice, hah! Santa, if he make a mistake, he don't have to deal with it for a year," Igor always says. "Me, I make a mistake and everything goes screwed up and it builds every day. And I get fired. Who's gonna fire Santa? The little kiddies, they all cry, 'Oh, where's Santa??! Boo hoo.' But who gonna cry, "Where's Igor Gsaliva?" Maybe my mother, but she's from the Old Country, and she cries that every day since I move out.")

As we have been for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. Like last year, Josh Carney and I will cover the opposing team’s offense. I will focus on scheme, Josh on the players.
Today, a breakdown of the Carolina Panthers’ explosive offense.
Alex’s Scheme Report
Panthers’ Run Game
An attack led by Christian McCaffrey, taking over a workhorse role this year. Few in the league plays as much as he does. His 500 total snaps rank second only trailing Todd Gurley where he’s far and away the highest snap percentage back in the league, playing 96% (!!!) of the time. No other back is even in the 90’s. So you’re going to see him early and often.
He’s averaging a healthy 4.6 YPC despite only recording two runs of 20+ yards, meaning he’s consistently ripping off healthy gains. But he’s just one part of a larger run game. The Panthers are tied for the league lead at 5.2 YPC. Cam Newton is heavily involved with four rushing touchdowns. So look out for him in the red zone.
Still, even more guys are getting involved. Carolina has only eight runs longer than 20+ yards, it’s coming from six different players. I’m guessing they’re the only team to do that. The Steelers, by comparison, have just one (James Conner, obviously). Point is, they’re getting big plays in the run game from a lot of sources. Receivers are involved, playmakers like D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, and in total, wideouts have carried the ball 11 times with consistent success.
Here’s how the offensive line should look.
LT: Chris Clark
LG: Greg Van Roten
C: Ryan Kalil (listed as questionable, didn’t practice this week)
RG: Trai Turner
RT: Taylor Moton
Turner is one of the NFL’s top guards, violent but athletic while the rest of their group, even though far from household names, have held their own. Van Roten has been a nice surprise.
The run scheme is pretty varied. They like to get the ball out on the perimeter with their pin/pull scheme, down blocking on the front side and getting their big boys up front to cut and knock down the secondary.
They’ll use a Pony backfield with McCaffrey and backup C.J. Anderson. Sometimes they’ll both be in the backfield, sometimes McCaffrey gets to split out. In the latter, that keeps your defense in base and ensures he’s matched on a linebacker.
And of course, their receivers get involved too, like I said earlier. Sometimes that’s a reverse, more often an end around.
But they can just as easily fake those handoffs and jets to “block” defenders without actually touching him. Like here. Fake the jet, the end is held by that action, and the line can leave him alone. You’re going to get a ton of pre-snap motion and window dressing against this group. Hard enough to defend as it is, even tougher on a short week. Yes, both teams have to deal with it, but the Steelers don’t do this kind of stuff. Watch the unblocked LDE here.
The Panthers are 3rd in runs of 10+ yards and tied 10th for 20+. It’s made them an effective red zone group, ranking 5th and just a few percentage points behind the Steelers. Which defense will come up big in situation football?
Panthers’ Pass Game
You know Cam Newton is good. I mean, duh. But he’s been even more effective and efficient this season. His completion percentage sits at 67.3%, obliterating his previous high of 61.7% and 2017’s mark of 59.1. He’s been sacked just 12 times after being taken down 35 last year. Thrown only four picks too, on pace for a career low.
The offense ranks just outside the top ten at a little over 27 points per game although they’re hitting their stride right now, putting up 36 and 42 the last two weeks. Two other quick stats to throw at you. Carolina is winning the turnover battle at +8, that’s 4th in the league, but they’re third down offense is decidedly average, ranked just 15th.
The passing game hasn’t been as explosive as the run game. 25th in passes of 20+ yards and they’re tied dead last in 40+ yard completions with just one.
McCaffrey is still the main cog here too. Leads the team in receptions and targets. As far as true receivers go, Devin Funchess has taken over as the #1 guy and jump ball threat. Rookie D.J. Moore is doing his damage after the catch. Averaging 15.6 per reception but 55.5% of his yards are coming after the catch.
Greg Olsen has also returned from injury and is his usual, steady self.
One of the Panthers’ favorite concepts are playaction and over routes, crossers along the middle of the field. Use playaction, get those linebackers suckered in, and throw it over their heads.
Off of turnovers, they like to try to take a shot or run playaction and hit one of their weapons in space. The Gruden favorite Spider 2 Y Banana, a throw to the flats with backside crosser as a secondary option.
Josh’s Individual Report
It’s Panthers week, Steelers fans! With it comes a Thursday Night Football showdown at Heinz Field.
Coming into Week 10’s matchup in Pittsburgh, the Carolina Panthers are mostly an average offense in every major statistical category. Currently, the Panthers sit in total offense (371.6 yards per game), 11th in points per game (27.6), 9th in yards per play (6.0) and 15th in third down conversion percentage (41 percent).
That being said, they’re a productive offense that lacks explosion, but moves the ball down the field methodically, consistently controlling the football, pairing with a great defense to make a really tough team in the NFC North.
For all of this talk about Cam Newton not being in the upper echelon of quarterbacks in the NFL, he sure is having a great season without a bonafide No. 1 receiver.
Through 8 games, Newton has thrown for 1,893 yards on 263 attempts, completing 177 passes (67.3 completion percentage), 15 touchdowns and four interceptions. His QB of 63.9 has him 13th in the NFL ahead of guys like Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson, and Deshaun Watson.
Newton has a big, strong arm that allows him to throw darts all over the field with his unorthodox release. His accuracy has improved a bunch this season. He’s very comfortable throwing down the middle of the field, and with the return of Greg Olsen from injury, it’s opened up another wrinkle in Carolina’s offense under the guidance of Newton and first-year offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who has been a Godsend for the Newton and the Panthers this season.
Aside from his abilities as a passer, Newton is still incredibly dangerous as a runner, coming in as the second-leading rusher for Carolina with 342 yards and four touchdowns on 73 carries. That’s nearly 10 carries a game for the veteran quarterback. Now, that doesn’t mean that’s 10 designed carries for him, but it’s important to keep him corralled in the pocket when rushing the passer. He’s so dangerous when he breaks loose in the open field due to his size and speed; he’s a nightmare for defenses.
When Carolina commits to the run game and pulls this out in the red zone? Good luck.
It’s not the greatest of play fakes, but Newton sells the handoff to Christian McCaffrey just enough, freezing Baltimore’s linebackers, allowing him to scoot around the corner for the 12-yard touchdown.
This is the first time I’ve seen the Panthers call this play this year, but it’s clearly in the playbook, and obviously an option in the red zone.
While Newton is the clear headliner for the Panthers, McCaffrey is developing into one of the top dual threat running backs in the NFL this season. Turner has unlocked McCaffrey’s potential, and he’s thriving this season.
Coming out of Stanford, there were questions about McCaffrey’s ability to be a workhorse in the NFL, running between the tackles and handling a WR2-3 role. He’s proving he’s not only durable, but gets better as the game unfolds.
McCaffrey seems to run best out of shotgun as the sidecar to Newton. That’s not to say he’s not effective in the traditional formations, but he’s really comfortable in shotgun and seems to have his best runs out of shotgun where he can utilize his vision.
Look at this run against Philadelphia. He’s so low and compact that he’s essentially a bowling ball as a runner. But look at the balance and the explosion in his lower half. His vision helps him see lanes before they develop, and then he’s able to explode through those lanes for big runs.
Carolina drafted him at No. 8 two years ago for a reason, and we’re starting to see that in a big way this season. All it took was Turner taking over for Mike Shula.
As a receiver, McCaffrey is so shifty and runs great routes, but he’s so good at the simple hot routes into the flats, and the Texas route that that’s what Carolina has him run primarily.
Again against Philadelphia, Turner schemes this up perfectly for McCaffrey, clearing out the receivers on crossing routes, rubbing Philadelphia linebackers off the route. Newton gets the ball to McCaffrey quickly, allowing him to burst up field for a big gain, setting Carolina up in the red zone.
Behind him, the Panthers brought in CJ Anderson from Denver in free agency, but the veteran rarely sees the field due to McCaffrey’s versatility and ability to handle a heavy workload.
Make no mistake though: Anderson can come in and spell McCaffrey, changing the pace as a runner coming downhill with force. When he gets carries, he averages nearly five yards a pop. Don’t be surprised to see Turner get Anderson more involved Thursday night on a short week to try and keep McCaffrey fresh.
At receiver, it’s a patchwork group right now, but young guys DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel are starting to round into form, providing the Panthers with some explosiveness in the open field.
Samuel and Moore are more than just receivers right now for Carolina tough. As of now, the two speedy receivers have combined for 10 rushing attempts, primarily on jet sweeps, so pay attention for that on Thursday night. Turner loves to call them to get speed on the perimeter.
Last week against Tampa Bay, Samuel went 33 yards for a touchdown on a double reverse, while Moore went 32 yards on a jet sweep. It’s a staple of Carolina’s attack; it’s just a matter of when they feel comfortable calling it.
As receivers, Moore and Samuel are the short game receivers where the Panthers try to get them the ball quickly, giving them a shot to make a defender miss and make a big play after the catch. Moore appears to be the guy who can carve up defenses down the middle of the field, but with Olsen back the Panthers are trying to figure out how to use the both of them in the middle of the field.
Devin Funchess is the possession receiver that bodies corners on the boundary. Newton loves to throw balls up to him, allowing him to make plays through contact. He’s a tight end playing wide receiver, but it works quite well for Newton and the Panthers.
The return of Olsen adds Newton’s favorite target back into the mix for an offense that is starting to hit its stride. When your veteran tight end can do things like this, you’d be glad to have him back.
That’s an incredible one-handed catch down the seam in the end zone.
Olsen is Newton’s money guy in the middle of the field. Few linebackers have proven that they can cover Olsen consistently, which has allowed Newton to develop trust in Olsen over the years, becoming one of the best QB/TE combinations in the NFL.
Up front, it’s not a great line on paper, but this starting five gets the job done well, resulting in the Panthers winning a number of games through sheer physicality.
Expect the Panthers to line up like this left to right on Thursday night.
LT — Chris Clark
LG — Greg Van Roten
C — Ryan Kalil
RG — Trai Turner
RT — Taylor Moton
The right side of the line is a clear strength for the Panthers with two monstrous humans in Trai Turner and Taylor Moton. Just a few years ago the discussion around Turner was where he ranked in the elite echelon of guards in the NFL. That discussion has died down some, but he’s still playing at a very high level, especially in the run game.
Moton was a guy I really liked coming out of Western Michigan. He’s thriving at right tackle, relying on his powerful frame to overpower defenders.
Kalil hasn’t practiced all week with an ankle injury, but it sounds like he’ll play on Sunday. It’s a shame he’s going to retire at the end of the season because he’s still one of the best centers in football, hands down. He’s powerful, yet quick and moves really well for a man his size.
On the left side, I’ve really taken a liking to Van Roten this season. He’s a mauler with a mean streak. Chris Clark is pretty solid too for a left tackle despite having a name many don’t think of with top 10-15 tackles in the NFL. He’s sturdy. That’s all the Panthers need there right now.
On special teams, the Panthers are loaded for bear.
Graham Gano has missed just two field goals in the last two years. He’s Mr. Automatic from 49 yards and in. He doesn’t have a big leg to boom 50 + yarders, but give me a guy that is as consistent as he is any day of the week.
Punter Michael Palardy flies under the radar as a punter. He’s got a big leg, averaging 46 yards per punt, dropping half of his punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. He’s not great with directional kicks away from returners, but he’s able to consistently pin returners deep.
Damiere Byrd is the kick and punt returner. He’s come close in recent weeks of busting off a long punt return. Pittsburgh’s coverage units will have to be fundamentally sound against the jitterbug returner. | <urn:uuid:0a6a295d-45f3-4938-b345-38a96b7222fb> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://steelersdepot.com/2018/11/scouting-report-panthers-playmakers-will-challenge-steelers-strong-tackling/ | 2021-12-05T20:41:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363216.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205191620-20211205221620-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.958609 | 3,276 | [

The solid terms both kinds places employed is shown to stimulate guilt about body fat and the human anatomy, and encourage diets, discipline, along with stigmatization of all but a narrow variety of system kinds.
Not to mention, comparisons aren’t simply for elegance. Like the ny circumstances noted early this coming year, although we know “everybody otherwise can’t possibly be as winning, wealthy, attractive, calm, intellectual and splendid simply because they seem to be on facebook or twitter,” our very own contacts’ postings inform another facts. It’s hard fight the draw of records that seem therefore believable, but don’t just let social networking move you to miserable. | <urn:uuid:4fcb0dc9-59e9-44f2-a1c5-b328281ac6f6> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://mngdep.teipir.gr/en/2021/09/06/digital-wellness-101-taking-charge-in-your-life-on/ | 2021-12-07T12:22:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363376.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207105847-20211207135847-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.935414 | 1,325 | [

Hello. I have some questions regarding Google Analytics and Webmaster tools. Any help is greatly appreciated.
When I checked my webmaster tools, I saw a lot of URL errors, a 404 crawl error because apparently "Googlebot couldn't crawl this URL because it points to a non-existent page". These are some of the error URLs that I saw:
http: //ceresschwarz. hubpages. com/xml/stats/ relatedhubevents.php?aid=3652041&type=
http: //ceresschwarz. hubpages. com/xml/stats/ relatedhubevents.php?aid=3653584&type=
http: //ceresschwarz. hubpages. com/xml/stats/ relatedhubevents.php?aid=3649999&type=
They're all pretty similar. But where did these URLs come from? What do they mean? I have no hubs with these URLs. Clicking on the links just brought me to a page not found in HubPages.
Also, is there any way to find out a list of all the hubs that Google has indexed on my analytics or webmaster tools account? My index status says that there's 17 total indexed. How do I see a list of those 17? Also, why am I only seeing 17? I have more hubs than that. I ran a search on Google for my profile and all the titles of my hubs and they all show up in the search results so doesn't that mean that Google has indexed them all? Then how come I'm only seeing 17 in webmaster tools and analytics?
I did try to search in Google about this but I only got more confused. All I saw was about checking the index status but I did that already. Is there something I'm missing? I pretty much clicked practically all the buttons and links in analytics and webmaster tools but still nothing.
Also, am I supposed to add my hubs to webmaster tools? How do I do that? I was under the impression that they will automatically be added by Google. Is that right?
Thanks for taking the time to read and answer my questions.
Check your index status in Google by using this search string:
This will return all the pages that you are indexed with under your subdomain and will include your answers and questions.
I wouldn't worry about those URL errors in WMT, you have no control over them.
You can try to add your hubs to WMT by using the Google Fetch operation, but WMT will populate only those hubs that become indexed.
In Analytics, you have to add the hubs you want to track on your own.
Hello and thanks for your reply. I did what you said. I put "site:ceresschwarz.hubpages.com" on Google search and Google showed me all the hubs that I currently have published as well as my profile, except some hubs still have their old titles and summaries since I've recently changed them. But this does mean they've all been indexed, right?
But then, when I went to my webmaster tools account, the index status shows 17 indexed, 43 ever crawled and 0 on blocked by robots and removed. How come this is what I'm seeing? If Google has indexed all hubs plus my profile, shouldn't I be seeing 21 indexed? Can you explain what this means?
Oh, thanks on your clarification about the URL errors. I was just surprised because I suddenly saw lots of errors being listed and when I went to the links, I just saw page not found and I didn't recognize the URLs.
So, I don't really need to add my hubs to webmaster tools if they're being indexed anyway?
I didn't know about having to add my hubs to analytics. I'll have to look into that some more.
Again, thanks a lot for your help. I'm still rather confused about all this and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys for these important bit of info ! What exactly is WMT?
Here it refers to Google's Webmaster Tools... just Google it.
BTW - WMT is useful for SEO and SEM helping you improve ROI while creating better HTML and improving position in the SERPS - FYI
It could mean that you are seeing what many hubbers are also seeing. All of your hubs are indexed but you may have some that are showing up with the 'hubpages.com' URL first instead of your subdomain URL. The only hubs that will show up on WMT are those with your subdomain URL.
There are a couple of threads addressing similar issues. I started one this past week. This might help explain if this is what you're finding.
EDIT: If they're all showing with your subdomain URL as indexed, but not showing up on WMT, the above may not apply. Try to Google fetch them like livewithrichard suggested.
Thanks for your response. I'll check that other forum thread. And I'll also be double-checking the URL of my hubs but I think they're showing up with my subdomain URL. I'll look into it again. I'll also be trying the Google fetch thing you guys mentioned.
By the way, in webmaster tools, is it possible to see a list of all the hubs that you have indexed? Like, can you see the titles of the hubs that have been indexed? Can you tell me where I can find that? All I saw were numbers but maybe I'm missing something?
The way I do it in Webmaster tools is like this:
1. go to 'traffic' on the left hand-side
2. go to 'search queries' on the left-hand side underneath traffic
3. go to 'top pages' which is on the right above the chart you see
That then lists all your top pages. Which for me happens to be all 24 hubs. I don't know how many hubs you need before it doesn't show some of them, but it works for me at the moment:-)
Thanks for the response. I tried this and I did see some of my hubs. I also saw some of the questions I asked. But it didn't seem to be listing all my hubs because some were listed twice - once for the link itself and the other with the referral tracker in it.
I just went and did this.
Can someone explain to me why WMT says I have 5,500 impressions in the last 30 days on a particular hub, but HP, Adsense, and Analytics all agree it is under 300. All my hubs WMT have listed have the same sort of outlandish numbers.
Ethan gave a thorough response. I'll give a quick one. When we think of impressions on HP, we think of views, how many times our hubs were viewed while ads showed on our 60% time.
Impressions on WMT simply means the amount of times your page (URL) was served to a viewer in the search results. It doesn't mean how many times your page was viewed. If your URL shows up in the search results and is served to a viewer, it's an impression.
Thanks for this. Didn't know that HubPages and Google had different definitions on impressions. That can get confusing but thanks for clearing it up.
By the way, I used the "fetch as Google" for all my hubs in webmaster tools and I got "success" for all of them. I then selected to submit them to Google index. But I'm just wondering if I'll be seeing a change in my webmaster tools account, like if it will tell me if it successfully got submitted to the Google index or something like that?
I also checked the other forum you mentioned but I don't think it applies to me since my hubs show up in my subdomain when I used the site:subdomain.hubpages.com search in Google.
I tried reading up more on webmaster tools and it seems that the data isn't actually real time and isn't always updated, at least that's what I found when I searched around in Google. Maybe that's the reason for the discrepancies? And I guess it's okay not to see data in webmaster tools as long as our hubs are being indexed by Google, like as long as we see them in search results?
An impression is not always a page view, that's why. An impression is where your Hub shows up on the same results page of Google as the website the viewer actually decided to look at. And that website may not have been yours, especially if you are not in the top couple of places.
HP, adsense and analytics are only going to give you info about actual pageviews. So those numbers will always be much, much less than the impressions in WMT.
To explain in more detail with an example - one of your Hubs is about pinterest. Taking an example of the phrase ‘what is pinterest’ – there are 22,200 monthly searches for that phrase. A good number you would think. But there are well over 1 million web pages with that exact phrase, all of which are therefore your competition and making it a hard phrase to rank for.
You don’t show up on the first 3 pages of Google (at least not for me, and not today, but it could be different for other people or on other days of course). So let’s say hypothetically you show up on page 4.
Every time one of those 22,200 searchers isn’t happy with the info. on the first 3 pages and goes on to page 4 to continue their search you will get an impression.
They may or may not click on your Hub out of the 10 possibilities on page 4, but you get an impression nonetheless. And of course it is never stable - sometimes you will be on page 1, 2, 3 or even worse than page 4.
That's why WMT can show you having thousands of impressions for some keywords, but very little actual views. To see your actual views on WMT, the 'clicks' section tells you this for each keyword.
So the impressions part is useful for giving you an idea of the quantity of people searching for keywords that your Hub is getting closer to appealing to.
If you have thousands of impressions for a keyword or phrase, but are averaging position 8, 9 or 10 on Google for it, then you know you are in the right ball park with your choice of keywords. And sometimes it is a good way of seeing which keywords your Hub is picking up, even if you didn't choose them.
I have changed keywords in my Hubs and websites before based on suddenly seeing massive numbers of impressions for a keyword I had not even thought about putting in. I just add one or two more of those keywords carefully to the hub and see if some of those impressions turn into clicks as my Hub moves up a notch or two in the search results.
For example on one of my websites I wrote an article about the correlation between food and sleep. All of a sudden I started picking up a lot of impressions for the phrase 'healthy foods' even though I only had the phrase twice in my article.
So I added it a couple more times in the right places and a couple weeks later the article started getting even more views for that phrase. Incidentally I then did an experiment and added it a few more times and a couple weeks later started getting less impressions and views than I did originally.
There could have been many explanations, but to me it's a good example of why these days you need to be really careful with doctoring your articles for search engines. I just wanted to give a warning example so I don't give you bad advice about playing with keywords based on what you see in WMT. My point is that the impressions can be very useful data, but you need to be careful what you do with that data to not shoot yourself in the foot!
I hope my long-winded explanation helps a bit - and I hope it's accurate too;-)
Here is a link to the WMT help page which explains all the same stuff but a bit more concisely!
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bi … swer=35252
A sincere thank you for your post! As far as I'm concerned, you have won the internet for the day. I could not have asked for a more intelligent, precise, and complete answer than the one you have given. If I was HP, I'd put your post in the Learning Center under WMT Info. Again, thank you.
I also want to say thanks for such a detailed explanation on impressions. I understand impressions much better now. And I'm off to check my own impressions and keywords. Looks like I have a lot more to learn about all this.
No problem - have fun seeing what keywords your hubs are attracting - and remember that if you click on the 'top pages' part, then the little arrows next to each hub (not all of them will have an arrow, but many will) then you get a break down of which keywords each hub is picking up. This is easier to go through than the massive list you get when you first click on search queries because it puts every keyword across all your hubs in one giant list. So it makes studying your keywords more manageable and specific if you do it one Hub at a time:-)

I had a hub that was receiving around 1,300-1,500 views per day. It was chosen as Editor's Choice. It then dropped by about 1,000 views per day. I opted out of the program, but that hub is no longer showing in Google for the keywords that brought it all the traffic before EC messed it up. How can I...

Hamlet of Pinzolo village, Sant’Antonio di Mavignola is located on a hill made by a heap of morainal debris of the post glacial ages. At the beginning many inhabitants were peasant families from Pinzolo, who in summer brought their livestock to those pastures, before reaching the alpine huts (“malghe”) at the highest altitudes. It seems that the first core of the village was in Milegna area, where now you can see the ancient farms dedicated to the mountain pasture.
It rises up in the mountain above the village and near “Masi di Clemp”, at about 1545 m of altitude; it was an Austrian defensive fortification and now it is a place of great historical interest.
You can reach it going up along a path, strengthened eastwards by a wall made of blocks and local granite pieces. The east side of the fort faces Campiglio valley and it has two overlapping lines of vertical loopholes for guns: thirthy-eight of these are visible from the lower line, thirthy-one from the upper line.
The Clemp military site had a dominant position with a great view on Campiglio valley and Carisolo: the soldiers posted near “Masi di Clemp” could see a part of Adamello and also the ridge that separated “Val d’Amola” valley from Nardis valley.
Built before the 14th century, it was guarded by an hermit. The church has a hut wooden shingle roof and Baschenis’ frescos on the outer walls. Among the several portrayals, on the entrance portal there is the Christ Deposition, with the Vergin and the most famous saints of the valley.
The church has a rectangular plant with a little granite altar; the frescos represent the Pantocrator Christ with the symbols of the four Evangelists, the Madonna with the Child, St. Antonio on one side and St. Barbara on the other side.
They are christian religious architectural little buildings, originated from the popular faith handed down in the centuries. A capital was usually built as a vow of a lucky escape, as famine or pestilence, but also as a place where the Christian community could pray together.
From the center of the village,following the streets towards the valley, you find the ancient part of the village with the old rustic architectures and important frescos (as the Madonna on the throne fresco by Baschenis school).
Typical fountain with washboard.
They belonged to some families of Pinzolo, who lived there before going up to “Ritorto malga” (alpine hut); they came back to these “masi” in the end of summer, before going to their houses in the valley. Milegna is one of the typical mountain huts, made by some private houses in a pasture area. Isolated by the other houses, “Casa Capot” is a typical restored mountain hut, with a granite base and huge larch logs. “Capot” was the nickname of a family of jurists, who lived in a majestic mansion house; the mountain house was dedicated to the pasture and, at the same time, it was the symbol of the wellbeing and the richness of the family.
The so called “maso” is a rural house, that has usually a barn, a stable and a little room for food cooking and cheese preparation. The barn, the stable and the kitchen can be in one single building or the barn and the stable can be far from the house of the rural family. The house style and material depend on the different areas: they are mainly in wood in the valleys rich in forests; otherwise they are in wood and stonework where people could find stones and lime easily. The “maso”, as it was the old house of the rural family, is surrounded by fields for grazing and mowing.
In 1875, Mr. Giovanbattista Righi of Strembo, founder of the tourist development of Madonna di Campiglio, built the connection road between Pinzolo and the new tourist settlement, with great sacrifices and at his own expenses.
It was 13 kilometers long, creating one of the most beautiful road of the Alps; after leaving the woods in Pinzolo, the road reached the village of Mavignola, with a wonderful panorama on the Brenta Dolomites, and then Madonna di Campiglio, which owes the beginning of its splendour to this new way of communication.
Pimont is a little settlement on “Doss del Fò” mountainsides: indeed its name means “at the foot of the mountain”. In the center of the village there is a little square with a fountain, which was used to do the washing in the past.
At that time four families lived in Pimont area: three of them were pour peasants with few livestock and they lived in common spaces and worked together. The fourth family was composed by well-off peasants with more livestock and they lived and worked on their own.
Today Pimont has eight buildings, five houses and three stables. The houses have still their original frescos, plaques and paintings.
It is one of the most suggestive alpine landscape in the Adamello Brenta Nature Park, a big amphitheatre of the Dolomites that encloses Val Brenta, once the main access to the Brenta Dolomites. The landscape of the low and middle valley, even though without the past beautiful beeches than replaced with coniferous woods, has still the features of the pastoral life of that time in Brenta Bassa and Brenta Alta alpine huts, from which the majestic Crozzon di Brenta can be admired.
Rich in water and woods, Val Nambrone extends along about 9 kilometers in the south-east part of Presanella group, between Presanella massif and Monte Nambrone-Monte Serodoli ridge, which separates Val Nambrone from Campiglio valley. Val Nambrone has a glacial origin and it is crossed by Sarca di Nambrone river, which comes from the homonymous lake. The two orographical sides are asymmetric: the left one is steep, while the right one goes inside the heart of Presanella with the two valleys of Amola and Cornisello. The landscape is harsh and wild in the high part and in the valleys around it, while the low part has a luxuriant greenery and it is rich in water, with many rural settlements and alpine huts.
It goes beyond the beautiful forest of Cantin, which has been kept as a virgin alpine wood. Coming out of the forest, you reach the grassy banks of the little lake of Valagola and the luxuriant fir forest. The peace of the lake embraces the majestic tops around it.
From 1977 Proloco GS Mavignola organizes this run race through the wonderful Val Brenta.
The race covers two distances: one of 5 km near Plaza area, suitable for families and for all people who want to pass a funny afternoon in the open air, and the other of about 14 km (one- third of a marathon) for athlets and runners who like difficult routes. Effort and sweat will be widely rewared for the beauty and variety of this race course, which crosses one of the most beautiful area of Adamello Brenta Nature Park.

Mozza has just started serving brunch in the Scuola (Mozza2Go). Now I truly can walk to Mozza for every meal...
Sweet pastry with walnut and almond paste, served with Bourbon butter. Briana spooned Bourbon butter onto her plate and ate it with a fork, straight up. And yes, I kept singing "Dolce and Gab-BA-na" in my head.

Budget office concludes reviews of OSHA standards
The Office of Management and Budget has completed reviews of two interim final rules and one proposed rule from OSHA covering whistleblower protections and cooperative agreements.
On Aug. 12, OMB finished its review of rules establishing procedures for handling and investigating retaliation complaints from various transportation employees and consumer product industry employees. Both interim final rules are expected to be published sometime this month.
OMB on Monday also concluded its review of a proposed rule revising regulations concerning the circumstances in which OSHA may conduct inspections of sites participating in an onsite consultation program. The revisions concern employers in the agency's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program, which recognizes small businesses with "exemplary safety and health management systems." A notice of proposed rulemaking is scheduled to be published in September. | <urn:uuid:5e82946b-6fea-4e03-acf3-80bdc5771a4a> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/budget-office-concludes-reviews-of-osha-standards-2 | 2021-11-28T03:26:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358443.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128013650-20211128043650-00637.warc.gz | en | 0.942562 | 163 | [

TOKYO (AP) — Japan has a plastic problem.
In a country where cleanliness and neat packaging have long been considered good service, almost everything, from single bananas to individual pieces of vegetables, pastries, pens and cosmetics is sold plastic-wrapped.
But as world leaders descend on Osaka for the two-day G-20 summit that starts Friday, Japan will attempt to become a leader in environmental policy at the same time it plays catch-up with countries that already have well-defined goals in place.
In the months leading up to the G-20 summit, Japanese officials have delivered full-throated endorsements of future bans on single-use plastics, beach cleanup efforts and more research into alternatives such as bioplastics. The problem is, the enforcement and timing of the directives have yet to match measures already in place in the EU — including sweeping legislation passed earlier this year that will ban single-use plastic in all member states by 2021.
Just last summer, Japan was criticized for failing to sign the G-7 Plastics Charter, joining the United States as the only countries not to sign.
At a mid-June meeting of G-20 environmental ministers in Karuizawa, Japan brokered an agreement to begin sharing best practices and establishing standards for tracking marine plastic waste, but stopped short of setting numerical goals or a timeline for progress.
Japan is the world’s No. 2 consumer of single-use plastic packaging per person — the United States is No. 1 — according to a 2018 U.N. Environment Program report. G-20 nations produce half the world’s plastic waste, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who will chair the summit, has made fixing the problem a top initiative, both at the summit and in Japan.
But Japanese promotional efforts, such as crafting next year’s Tokyo Olympic medals and champion podiums from recovered metals and plastics, have failed to impress experts who say that Japan cannot recycle its way out of a global plastic waste crisis, and that the country instead needs to focus on reducing plastic at the earlier end of the supply chain.
“What we are asking for is the reduction of plastic produced in the first place,” said Mageswari Sangararalingam, a Malaysian-based waste management expert.
There are signs that Japan is beginning to recognize its own difficulties.
Trade Minister Hiroshige Seko announced at the G-20 environment ministers’ meeting plans for a law that will require retailers to charge fees for plastic shopping bags as early as next April.
Seven & i Holdings Co., the Japanese operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores, announced a plan last month to replace all plastic shopping bags with paper by 2030 and all plastic packaging with paper, biodegradable or other reusable materials at its nearly 21,000 stores nationwide. Those goals are more ambitious than the government’s 2030 target for a 25% reduction in single-use plastic.
Selected 7-Eleven stores near Tokyo, including one at Yokohama, have started offering paper bags instead of plastic. Saemi Nakamura, a customer, said the change is welcome. “The world is talking about the use of plastic not being good. I think paper bags are better,” Nakamura said.
Another convenience store chain, Ministop, began charging 3 yen (3 cents) per plastic shopping bag in an experiment at two stores in Chiba, near Tokyo, which is to be expanded to about 40 outlets by early 2020.
But plastic shopping bags and packaging are only a small part of the overall plastic waste problem, experts say. As much as 12.7 million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year, of which up to 60,000 tons comes from Japan, according a study cited by the country’s Environment Ministry.
Japan is also the world’s No. 2 exporter of plastic waste. It used to export about 1.5 million tons per year, mainly to China. After China stopped accepting plastic imports in 2017, several Southeast Asian nations became new targets, but some countries, including Malaysia and the Philippines, are now turning the shipments back. They accused rich countries of pushing their garbage onto poorer nations.
Officials in Japan have scrambled to find a new home for the country’s used plastic by establishing a 1.9 billion yen ($18 million) emergency fund over the past two years and asking local authorities and waste handlers to shoulder additional loads for recycling and incineration. Japan’s plastic waste exports last year totaled 1 million tons, according to trade statistics, but experts say the decline could be linked to an increase in illegal exports or stockpiles at garbage dumps.
“We are trying to develop more domestic plastic recycling facilities and capabilities, but it takes some time,” said Hiroshi Ono, an Environment Ministry official.
At a factory on Tokyo Bay, one of more than a dozen operated by plastic recycling company Kyoei Industry Co., about 35 tons of PET bottles are processed daily. They come in hundreds of bales, each wrapped in plastic, and are then unraveled, sorted, pulverized, heated and minced. Next they’re turned into fine pellets and reborn as egg cartons, school uniforms, soccer jerseys and other sports equipment, as well as PET bottles, returning to store shelves, said company president Eiichi Furusawa.
“Even if we wanted to (export plastic waste), no country welcomes imports now,” Furusawa said. “We think we need to circulate plastic domestically.”

The Croatian National Bank has enabled all credit institutions to offer a favourable treatment of loan payment deferral to consumers facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers that have up to now settled their financial obligations on time and persons employed at entrepreneurs whose operations have been threatened by the coronavirus pandemic may apply for a loan payment deferral, i.e. a moratorium, for a certain period.
If you face difficulties in loan repayment due to the pandemic, you should contact your credit institution, which is obliged to provide you with all necessary explanations and instructions regarding your obligations. In case you are not satisfied with the credit institution’s response, you may exercise your right of submitting a written complaint to the institution. If the credit institution fails to respond to your complaint within 15 days of receipt of a valid complaint or if the credit institution assesses that your complaint is not grounded, i.e. if you fail to resolve the situation in question and you continue to have doubts regarding the legality and regularity of credit institution’s actions, you may forward a notification of your complaint to the Croatian National Bank. | <urn:uuid:a772c5fe-7358-4920-ae7d-65cd5541d907> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://api.hnb.hr/en/web/guest/-/i-have-difficulties-in-loan-repayment-due-to-the-coronavirus-pandemic-whom-should-i-contact- | 2021-12-01T06:00:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359093.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201052655-20211201082655-00637.warc.gz | en | 0.951512 | 230 | [
