Other software vendors just sell software. They may help you set up your database and teach you how to use it, but their usefulness ends there, as does the partnership. The other guys are software experts, not energy experts.
We sell utility bill auditing software too, but we understand the whole picture, and will do our best to help you understand it as well. Utility bill tracking should be at the center of a successful energy management program, but for your utility bill tracking to be worthwhile, you need to know all the things you can do with the utility billing software, and why you might do it. We won’t just tell you how to make reports, but what reports to make, and what they are telling you. We offer monthly teleconferences that start with broader energy management topics and end with how you can address them using your utility bill tracking database. The others don’t and can’t. We are energy experts first and foremost. | 2019-04-18T13:24:45 | https://www.abraxasenergy.com/about-us/why-purchase-software/ |
Do you do a lot of live screen casts? ever wishing you did not have to type in some text repeatedly, again and again, but also some of that typing was private or preferably not made public? This is the tool for you! Whether you are a screen caster or want to store some passwords or logins for those repeat uses, this app can help you work more efficiently and prevent slowdowns on live shows while you type in that long confusing password... repetedlu… Repetedly… Repeated;ly… Repeatedl……. Simply make a label reminder for you to easily reference the content (Optional), store the hidden value and hit save, after that you can single click copy to clipboard that piece of text ready to rapidly paste into anywhere it is needed. Important Notice: This app is not designed to be a secure vault or password locker it is for those repeat use words and the added benefit for them not to be easily seen if you do a lot of screen recording or when hosting a live show, even if it is not important that it is seen, it can also be used to avoid having to type a long word or constantly used piece of text, you can use spaces in the secret values as well. For multi-line text, chances are it is not important to be hidden and for those types of text you can search the store for my other app TeNotes. This app was designed to serve my needs and as such encryption was not an essential however it is planned to be included in future. The login pin is only a safety mechanism, if someone has access to your account on your computer, then they have access to the stored data as well, the idea was for scenarios where perhaps you left the app open and your child accidently managed to clear a stored value or simply just a basic security feature for similar scenarios or preventing easy access to that content if you let a friend sit on your computer for a minute or two. KISS is primarily designed for use on a desktop machine, however it is available across Windows 10 Desktops, Mobiles and HoloLens.

2. As I watched the sun rise, I realized life as I knew it, had changed.
3. Tris was badass and awesome and instantly likeable. Four was intense and quiet and manly and I was in love. Immediately reread it, and have done so many time now.
4. I needed to know everything about Divergent right away.
5. Took to the interwebz.
6. Became an expert in the subject and wondered what to do with my new found Erudite-ness and over-load of feels. Discovered a movie was being made. Yay!
7. In May 2012, made a dedicated twitter, officially joining the fandom. Delved into making fan art.
8. Channeled Sherlock and hunted down every set picture in existence when filming began.
9. Started to gain a large following. Everyone was buzzing and just as excited as I was to see the book come to life. I shared everything I found with them and we'd discuss the details- costume, set dressing, what scene they could be filming etc. I still remember all you guys from the early days! People asked when we'd have a blog set up. The fandom had grown to a steady size by this point, and going the whole way and creating a proper fan site would obviously be a serious commitment. After much consideration, I finally decided to jump off the ledge, ala Tris, and the rest is history.
The end! Thank you to everyone who supports us constantly with sweet words, tips, sharing posts, retweeting etc. We see it all and appreciate everything, and love being a part of all this with you. | 2019-04-24T06:28:38 | http://www.divergentlife.com/2014/03/countdown-to-divergent-fan-site-edition.html |

Matt Bai's recent New York Times Magazine piece on New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is just one in a series of articles showing how the supposedly "liberal" press has a consistent bias against unions, pensions, and teachers. This bias is in part revealed in the now common idea that due to their outrageous pensions, public employee unions have caused state deficits. This narrative is repeated by Bai when he states, "It's not as if the problem of public pensions suddenly got so much worse than it was before (the shortfalls have been building steadily for years, after all)..." In fact, Bai is wrong and the condition of pensions did get suddenly much worse in 2009 after many of these funds lost over a third of their value during the global fiscal meltdown. The fact that Bai and other journalists miss this point demonstrates that they want to go out of their way to blame the victims of Wall Street malfeasance.
One reason why even liberal papers continue to criticize public employee unions and pensions is that most reporters no longer have defined benefit plans and job security. This point came to me while I was discussing pensions with a national reporter who blurted out that his 401k is way down, and his newsroom is constantly being downsized. Pension envy has thus moved to the people who are supposed to be covering the news.
Not only do reporters show a strong bias against unions and pensions, but they often fail to explain the complicated nature of how pension liabilities are calculated. Since many of the "deficits" facing pension plans are projected over a thirty-year period, the huge numbers being thrown around are actually unreliable guesstimates. Moreover, these actuarial projections often start from the lowest point of the financial meltdown, and many funds have already gained back more than half of their losses since the worst economic failure in eighty years. When I have asked reporters why they do not explain to people the way pension liabilities are actually calculated, they often respond by saying that people do not want to listen to a complicated explanation.
Since reporters do not want to get into the important details concerning pensions, they open the door for politicians like Christie to spout outrageous half-truths. For instance, while Christie blames union-negotiated pensions for causing the budget deficit in New Jersey, he fails to mention how much tax revenue the state lost due to the collapse of the housing market and the tanking of the stock market. He also neglects to inform the public that the state has been stealing from the pension fund for years to pay for tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals and corporations in the state.
By not tying the problems of state deficits and pension funds to the illegal and corrupt actions of mortgage companies and investment banks, unions and public employees become the displaced target of popular resentments. While Bai seems to be enamored by Christie's "triumph of self-certainty over complexity," we have to ask why this journalist insists that the public employee unions are a more effective target than Wall Street bankers. Also, why does Bai compare a governor supporting generous pension deals to Bernie Madoff? The only answer is that from his perspective, pension plans are as corrupt as Ponzi schemes.
Linked to this propaganda against public unions and pension plans is the failure to understand how escalating healthcare costs are driving up state deficits. What Bai and other reporters always omit from their stories is that one of the biggest drivers of national and state budget deficits are the runaway costs of healthcare premiums. Not only do these escalating costs make retiree healthcare plans more expensive, but they also crowd out other state programs. Since "Obamacare" has done nothing to stop the constant price gauging of insurance companies, unions are now being blamed for providing their retirees with health coverage. Moreover, in Bai's article, he simply collapses pension and retiree healthcare together in order to declare that New Jersey now faces a $100 billion liability.
As Wisconsin and other states try to downsize collective bargaining rights and pensions, the mainstream media has to realize that no one wins in this global race to the bottom. Without unions and some type of job protections, all jobs and benefits are in jeopardy. Perhaps reporters are feeling threatened in their own jobs, but that is no reason to turn on the few people who still have some modicum of economic security. | 2019-04-21T22:51:40 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/he-liberal-press-continue_b_833144 |
Structural Madness was founded by two stupid structural engineers, who are basically crazy and too much into structural behavior and solid mechanics. We write about intuitive structural engineering and we try to make sense in what we say in an elegant manner.
Jinal Doshi is currently a Project Engineer at DCI Engineers, Seattle. His main interest lies in Performance based design and progressive collapse analysis. He like those subjects because it helps him to evaluate the structures in a much more sophisticated way and can have higher confidence in his design and eliminate any performance issues related to the building. He did his masters from University of Southern California, LA, USA (2014-2015) and Bachelors from National Institute of Technology, Surat, Gujarat, India (2009-2013).
He likes writing blogs about structural engineering because he likes what he is doing and for him, it is his hobby to understand structures. He likes new challenges and take them head on. So you will see many posts from his side, may be one every couple of weeks. He mainly writes about seismic design of structures as he likes to deal with dynamics.
Let us meet the other guy. He co-founded Structural Madness with Jinal Doshi when they both were in Graduate school. Jinal and Darshan know each other since their undergrad and are very good friends.
Darshan Pala is currently a structural engineer at Saiful Bouquet Structural Engineers based in Pasadena. His areas of expertise include Mechanics of Solids, Structural Analysis, Deign of RCC and Steel structures. He is also in love with numbers and is always amazed with what we can do with them. He did his Masters from Purdue University, Indiana, USA (2013-2014) and Bachelors from National Institute of Technology, Surat, Gujarat, India (2009-2013).
Darshan Pala likes to write because he can explain in depth and he also likes to write about structural engineering. You will see that more of his articles will be about metaphorical structural engineering with some mathematical equations associated with them. | 2019-04-24T22:22:21 | https://www.thestructuralmadness.com/p/hello-structural-madness-was-hello-i-am.html |
You know inbound marketing is a valuable tool for business, and you’ve seen it in action for other companies, but for you and your brand, inbound marketing strategies are not living up to your expectations.
Inbound marketing is the wave of the future, and the future is already here.
Outbound marketing is “out” and inbound marketing is “in.” You get all that, and you know that the finely-tuned and highly targeted strategies of an effective inbound marketing campaign are the fastest way for a small business to claim the lion’s share of the market.
Are you so discouraged? Did you think that inbound marketing would change your life? Did you expect it to pay off overnight?
No. You’ve been patiently applying the principles and best practices of inbound marketing, encompassing social media, content generation and website design. However, your leads are still trickling in like molasses and you’re starting to wonder if internet marketing is all it’s cracked up to be.
It’s easier to understand inbound marketing campaigns if you view inbound marketing as the opposite of outbound marketing. Leads are coming to you, instead of you going to them.
We all know what outbound marketing is, the hit-or-miss practice of throwing as wide a net as possible by trying to spread your marketing message to as many people as possible. In return, you hope for a response or a show of interest from a tiny fraction of those you reached.
Newspaper ads, direct mailers or telemarketing are some of the most popular forms of outbound marketing. Perhaps you’ve already had some measure of success with outbound marketing, or perhaps not.
In any case, there’s a better way to build your brand and grow your business, and it’s considerably more targeted, and therefore higher return on your investment than outbound marketing.
Inbound marketing helps you turn browsers into customers; it can turn casual readers into leads, and leads into regular customers, in the most cost-efficient manner.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but the problem is you.
After all, inbound marketing is a proven and quantifiable method of generating more leads and closing more deals than traditional advertising. Instead of casting an impossibly wide net and hoping for the best, inbound marketing helps bring serious buyers right to your doorstep.
Many CEOs are anxious to explore the inbound marketing phenomenon, but they only hear what they want to hear. An effective inbound marketing strategy for business growth takes 6 to 12 months (or even longer) to show tangible results.
Wait, what? You didn’t hear that part? Or the part about how you must change your mindset, and perhaps even re-think your entire business model to realize the results you want – results that inbound marketing services can deliver.
Some business leaders are enamored with the theory of inbound marketing, but they aren’t prepared to make all the practical changes that need to be made. Half-committed never won the race.
Unfortunately, negativity in marketing is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and if that’s not enough to ruin your campaign, you can be sure some skeptic in the organization is gunning for the campaign to fail. They will help it along by constantly asking for changes, stalling, removing key parts of the inbound marketing strategy, and hindering the process in general.
That may be you, or anyone in the company. It only takes one naysayer in a position of authority (or with a lot of political clout) to put the kibosh on your whole inbound marketing program.
Watch out for those who would love to see their company’s inbound marketing strategy fail miserably, either to further their own careers, or just for the priceless satisfaction of saying they were right.
You can identify these troublemaking saboteurs by their mating call: I told you this wasn’t going to work!
This is the main reason inbound marketing doesn’t work for small businesses. When you hire the services of a marketing company, don’t expect them to understand your business the way you do. They can’t.
Let the marketing professionals take care of your inbound marketing while you take care of your customers. Ask question to help you understand (and hire the firm who can answer those questions) but don’t go in with the belief that you have all the answers.
They know how to get results, so let expert marketers do their job without trying to micromanage or second-guess them. Instead, try to create a power-packed partnership that leverages both sets of expertise. The more trust you put in your inbound marketing team, the more successful it will be.
You’ll never be more than moderately successful if you don’t learn how to delegate responsibilities like a true captain of industry. Many would-be moguls are held back by their inability to fully trust others and share responsibilities.
If that’s you, inbound marketing is a great place to start changing your ways. Turn your internet marketing over to a professional, either in-house or via an expert marketing service.
Give your marketing team some room to breathe and enough time to prove itself. You can’t argue with success, and inbound marketing has already proven itself to be an integral part of a well-designed internet marketing campaign.
Remember that savvy businessmen surround themselves with talented people and end up with lots of money and power; control freaks end up with ulcers.
If you’re ready to get started on improving your lead generation through inbound marketing, contact us today! | 2019-04-23T23:50:18 | https://ariadpartners.com/inbound-marketing-isnt-working/ |
Following in her mother’s footsteps, 23-year-old Shakisa Olinda Harvey is among the newest admissions to the bar after graduating last Saturday from the Hugh Wooding Law School as an Attorney-at-Law.
The bubbly Harvey is the daughter of recently-appointed High Court Judge Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall.
Always certain of the career path she wanted to pursue, Harvey, who was called to the bar on Monday, said she has proven that determination, hard work and dedication truly pays off.
Presenting her petition before Madame Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George, attorney Abiola Wong-Inniss, to whose chambers Harvey is attached as an associate, described her as industrious.
Recalling Harvey’s in-service stints spent at her chambers during her vacations home from law school, Wong-Inniss said her performance was always exemplary.
The lawyer said that she was honoured not only to have been presenting Harvey’s petition, but more importantly to have her within the employ of her chambers, where her knowledge and expertise will make her an asset.
In her charge, the Chief Justice reminded the young attorney that she has “human precedents” to follow and admonished her to strive always for excellence. “Never settle for mediocrity,” the Chief Justice warned.
Harvey was encouraged to “be a lawyer’s, lawyer,” and to truly advocate for her clients, providing to them the best counsel always. Justice George cautioned that the sleepless nights will continue, and that the word “research” must always be her mantra.
Looking intently at the Chief Justice as she counseled her, the new lawyer heard that “service” to others and being a voice for the voiceless will be key to upholding the rule of law.
“You’re not aiming to be any lawyer or some lawyer, you are aiming for excellence,” Justice George said, “Be a leader… Aim to be famous and not infamous,” she added.
A former student of the Bishops’ High School like Harvey, Justice George said it is always an honour to admit students of her alma mater to the legal profession. She, however, noted that in Harvey’s case it was particularly memorable as it is the same date that she herself was admitted to the bar.
In her speech thanking the court for accepting her petition, Harvey, who became emotional and was moved to tears, also expressed gratitude for her mother’s unwavering support throughout her studies.
From a lengthy list which she said was by no means exhaustive, the young woman said she owes a debt of gratitude to everyone who played a part in her attaining her dream and noted that she shares her achievement with them all.
Recalling her stint as a reporter with the Stabroek News some years ago, Harvey said she was grateful for the opportunity of exposure to the courtroom, which she noted will no doubt be an asset for her career.
Harvey’s call to the Bar was witnessed by loved ones, friends and other well-wishers.
After attending the Bishops’ High School from 2010 to 2012, where she completed Sixth Form studies, Harvey moved on to the University of Guyana, where she read for, and attained her Bachelor of Law Degree in 2015. Thereafter, she attended the Trinidad-based Hugh Wooding Law School, where she was awarded her Legal Education Certificate (LEC). | 2019-04-20T20:31:54 | https://www.stabroeknews.com/2017/news/guyana/10/11/new-attorney-following-in-mothers-footsteps/ |
What is the best way to find Disneyworld vacation deals? We are a young couple looking to travel to Disney in January 2009. We want to pay for hotel and air together and definitely want to stay on Disney property. How can we find the best deals ?
www.mousesavers.com for some great money saving tips.
We used Dreamsunlimited.com which specializes in Disney vacations. Everything was done on line and they were great.
Having been to WDW many times, experience tells me you'll usually save money if you arrange your hotel & air separately. As noted above, check mousesavers & dreams. Also, check the disney website for hotels.
Disney currently has a deal for the first six months of 2009. Stay four days and get three free. I believe this deal must be booked by December 20, 2008. As others have said, you can check mousesavers.com for current offers. You can also go to disneyworld.com. Click on "Tickets & Reservations." Click on "Special Offers" and you can get a price there.
I also recommend disboards.com for tons of information on Disney.
AIR: No-brainer. Do a quickie search on an aggregate site (my favorite is Yahoo Travel) to see which airline generally offers the cheapest fares from your airport.
HOTEL: Stay in a "budget" or "moderate" hotel on-site. Book through the Disney site, which will tell you which weeks in January have the cheapest rates. Staying on-site also means free transportation to and from the airport and between parks.
Where are you flying from, and why do you want to get air and hotel together? Do you feel you'll get the best deal that way? What is your budget?
If you're planning to eat in the park (i.e. you don't want to bring in your own food) I think the Disney Dining Plan is a good deal. We used snack credits for breakfast (cereal or a bagel = a snack), counter service for lunch and table service for dinner. If you're planning on eating mostly outside of the park (breakfast at your hotel and dinner off property) it isn't a good deal for you.
You should consider Disneyland instead. In 2009, you can get free admission to Disneyland on your birthday. Also Southwest airlines are offering $239 off a Disneyland vacation if you stay at a Disneyland resort.
The free birthday admission is also valid at Walt Disney World! <http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...&tid=35157287>.
Aside from that, the two are hardly equivalent. Disney LAND is roughly comparable to WDW's Magic Kingdom alone. Disney WORLD is comprised of multiple parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Hollywood Studios & Animal Kingdom) and two water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon), not to mention Disney's Boardwalk and Downtown Disney. | 2019-04-25T05:57:34 | https://www.fodors.com/community/united-states/disneyworld-deals-455806/ |
The Cecafa Tusker Cup officially returns to Uganda for the first time since 2008 after the 2012 edition was launched at the Sheraton Hotel on Tuesday. Cecafa Secretary General Nicholas Musonye confirmed that the two-week tournament will take place from November 24 to December 8.
East African Breweries, through its Tusker brand, will sponsor the event to a tune of $450,000 (Shs 1.1billion). This cash package will include accommodation, welfare and transport for all the participating teams.
The first, second and third placed teams will earn $30,000, $20,000 and $10,000 in that order. Musonye adds that Zambia, Malawi, Cameroon, Zimbabwe and Botswana have shown interest in taking part in this year’s event. Uganda are the defending champions. | 2019-04-25T09:43:24 | https://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20618:2012-cecafa-cup-set-for-november-24-in-kampala&catid=44:sports&Itemid=80 |
The visitation for Shanel Little will be held Friday, March 1 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Tara Garden Chapel in Jonesboro, Ga.
The funeral will be held Saturday, March 2 at New Macedonia Baptist Church at 3 p.m. in Riverdale, Ga.
A Georgia State student died in a car crash this morning while on her way to work according to an article published at the Douglas County Sentinel.
Tracey Watson of the Georgia Department of Public Safety Public Information Office, confirmed that Shanel Marie Little, 21, of Riverdale was killed while traveling west on Highway 166 when she lost control of a Toyota RAV4 sports utility vehicle, traveled down an embankment and hit a tree.
Little was on her way to teach at New Manchester High School. The accident happened at about 7:45a.m., and Little was pronounced dead on site.
Little was a resident assistant at Georgia State.
Church members, family, friends, and colleagues showed their condolences for the student teacher via social media immediately learning about her death.
The Signal will have further updates.
So sad to learn about Shanel tragic accident. A great many will miss her beautiful smile and charming personality.
So sad to hear this news about my former student. I taught her at Lake Ridge Elementary. My heart is aching from this news.
It’s hard to type this post, however, I will feel horrible if I don’t give my condolences. I was just a few cars away and was one of the vehicles passing after she crashed. Just know that people immediately stopped and tried to assist her. It was a hard sight to see. I immediately began to pray for her soul and the strength of the family. I am extremely sorry for your lost. Just be assured that she can now serve as one of your many angels.
Thoughts and prayers for her family during this difficult time.
Ms. Little was more than just a student teacher, she was a friendly smile to see every morning in passing. Our thoughts and prayers will be with her family and friends. The students at NMHS will miss her greatly.
May her soul rest and abide with the Lord and smile down on her family, friends, and GSU family. My prayers go out to Shanel’s family during this time. | 2019-04-20T21:27:02 | http://georgiastatesignal.com/georgia-state-student-and-ra-killed-in-car-crash/ |

In a nutshell the keto diet is used quite often to manage diseases, such as epilepsy. With this diet you want to force the body into a state of ketosis, which is the process of the body burning stored fat. You achieve this through fasting, reducing carbohydrates, and increasing dietary fat.
The paleo diet focuses more on eating meat. You get your energy from animal products that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
What are the differences between the diets?
Focus on Ketone Levels: A keto diet focus on raising your body’s ketone levels by altering your food choices so you enter ketosis. A paleo diet doesn’t pay attention to ketone levels.
Focus on food quality: A paleo diet focus strongly on choosing whole foods that are nutrient-dense, high-quality, and free from toxins. A keto diet should also include high quality food, but that isn’t the emphasis.
Amount of carbs: A keto diet has a very low carbohydrate intake. A paleo diet is certainly lower in carbs that a lot of diets, but it is still a higher carb intake than a keto diet.
Amount of fat: A keto diet puts far greater emphasis on increasing your fat intake than a paleo diet. Although you’re often encouraged to eat healthy fats on a paleo diet, it’s not typically quite as high as on a keto diet.
If weight loss is what you’re looking for – Keto.
If you have sweet cravings and want to stop – Keto.
If you’re making the switch to healthier living – Paleo.
If you need a diet with more flexibility – Paleo.
If you want to increase your energy by balancing your blood sugar levels – Keto.
If you’ve got a big project coming up and you need mental clarity and focus – Keto.
If you’re clearing up existing health problems – Paleo.
There is also no reason you can’t combine the two and make it into something that works for you. The best diet is one you will stick to and follow. The one that makes you feel better, be healthy, and have full control of your mind, body, and soul. | 2019-04-22T10:46:10 | https://synergymealz.com/blogs/news/differences-between-paleo-and-keto |
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review > Blog Articles > Portland Housing Crisis – Adding to or Forcing out Portland’s Weird?
Portland, traditionally known for its young culture and promises of “Keeping Portland Weird,” has become a haven for young professionals seeking a vibrant culture.1. The “progressive values” of the city attract young people, as young families look for a new culture in which to raise their children.2. This movement to the city has created a vacancy rate of about 3% in the Portland, which is one of the lowest in the country.3. “Keeping Portland Weird” seems to be an attractive motto.
“But the city’s popularity has had another effect: those who helped make it cool can’t afford to live there anymore.”4. By December, Portland has had purported increases in house prices of 10.9% in the past year alone, far out-shining cities such as Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, and Miami.5 This has made it more and more difficult for people, including those that were a key part in the formation of Portland’s weird, to stay in the city.6 This difficulty is only to grow greater, as “little has been proposed so far to help potential home buyers who are facing the most competitive market since before the great depression.”7. It appears that thus far, the peak in popularity has not been matched with sufficient government response. In order to maintain some of the original Portlandians, price declines will have to occur in some way or another.
Correlated with the rise in prices is the decrease in availability, as people rush to buy all remaining homes on the market. In December alone, there were the most closed home sales on record.8. Compared to the normal four to six months’ supply of housing, housing inventory had dropped as low as 1.2 months.9. Even worse, there does not seem to be a positive outlook for demand matching supply in the near future.10. Therefore, the only thing to do is look to the coming months in hopes of a solution to this problem; or, if you are a young professional dying to get in, you may risk buying now before the prices rise even more. | 2019-04-21T02:33:43 | http://mbelr.org/portland-housing-crisis-adding-to-or-forcing-out-portlands-weird/ |

War of the Rebellion: Serial 012 Page 0195 Chapter XXIII. GENERAL REPORTS.
Potomac he will require at least three clerks, one of whom should be a competent hospital steward. This assistance is necessary for recording correspondence, making the reports required at headquarters. An assistant quartermaster and an assistant commissary of subsistence are absolutely necessary to the chief surgeon. These officers, holding official relations to their respective departments, can so much more readily command and furnish the supplies in possession for what he wants upon a quartermaster or commissary already overwhelmed with business. I am surprised it had never been thought of until I brought it to the notice of the present Surgeon-General while we were at Yorktown. If I had had these officers on the Peninsula I could have fitted up and supplied our hospital ships and stationary hospitals with comparatively little trouble or delay. I could have kept the ambulance trains more in hand, could have known more about them, and could have taken much better care of them. The advantages of such an arrangement are too obvious to require to be urged upon a military man.
For each corps d'armee of which an army is composed a chief surgeon should be placed upon the staff of the commander of the corps. He should have an assistant and a clerk. If the corps is more than 25,000 strong, he should have tow assistants. He should have also an acting assistant quartermaster and commissary. This officer will take charge of the ambulance and supply train, and when temporary hospital arrangements are to be made for the corps he will provide the tents and buildings, and will see to the drawing and placing in position of the necessary subsistence. While we were on the Peninsula I knew in two instances the valuable time of a medical officer wasted in the effort to get from commissaries subsistence for which his patients were suffering, and for which he had an order from headquarters. This officer would take charge of the hospital train upon a march, see that the wagons were not misapplied, distribute them to the brigades and regiments upon their arrival in camp, muster, pay, and subsist the teamsters, forage the horses, &c.
The guard for the hospital train would be the Ambulance Corps if a regular ambulance corps is authorized, or the drilled hospital attendants if we are compelled to use them upon the plan adopted in Washington. In the latter case we might by this means hope to keep these men together. They could not very well be removed and their places supplied by uninstructed men or not at all, at the caprice of colonels.
The chief surgeon of the army should have on his staff one experienced medical officer of the army for each corps d'armee, to be kept constantly employed in sanitary inspections. It is in the field we want these officers, and where, in my view, their duties are all-important. No medical man of less than ten years' military training is, in my opinion, competent to perform these duties in the field. Any intelligent physician can inspect the police of a city hospital. One inspector cannot do justice to more than 25,000 men. This I know from experience.
The chief surgeon of the army, the chief surgeon of the corps, and the inspectors should constitute a council of health, and should assemble weekly if practicable, examine the medical reports, the reports of the inspectors, &c., deliberate upon all matters pertaining to the health of the army, and submit through the chief surgeon to the commanding general the result of their deliberations. | 2019-04-19T19:05:28 | https://ehistory.osu.edu/books/official-records/012/0195 |
This weekend was a whirlwind of packing. We shipped 10 boxes out on Saturday and another 17 boxes out on Monday! While processing website orders, we discovered a glitch with how shipping was being calculated for customers. Some domestic zip codes were calculating shipping too high. This was corrected and a partial refund was issued where appropriate.
We use WordPress and WooCommerce to power our website and store. This is very cost effective but is much trickier to configure than some premium shopping platforms like Shopify. We have been struggling to configure shipping to calculate using both the shipping zone and the total weight. We thought we finally had shipping all configured, drat! Regardless, this shipping glitch should be fixed. If you saw a domestic shipping cost that looked far too high, it likely was. Please check the shipping price again. It’s probably much less now.
Thank you for your understanding and thank you as always for your support!

Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has earlier today added one more company to its Alert List, which includes the names of firms that are not authorized in Hong Kong but nevertheless target Hong Kong investors.
The newest addition to the Alert List is HongKong Tooptions Limited, a company operating via www.tooptions.com. Through this website, the company offers a range of binary options trading services.
The company says it has the following address: Unit 17, 9/F, Tower A, New Mandarin Plaza, No 14 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. However, the regulator notes that the broker is not located there.
Investors are urged to exercise caution, as this entity is unlicensed to market its services in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the SFC notes that unlicensed entities often use names similar to legitimate companies to confuse investors – a practice known as cloning.

On the 15 of April, The Summer Set are set to release their highly anticipated 4th album Legendary. Legendary will mark the band’s first full length release with new label Fearless Records. The album has already been tipped as one of the Most Anticipated Albums of 2013 by renowned music magazine Alternative Press.
Many fans of the band already know how ‘Legendary’ relates to the bands project, Half Moon Kids, which encourages fans to “Be Brave, Be Curious, & Be Legendary.” The mention of these Half Moon Kids, and the message of ‘being the best version of yourself as you can be’ heavily features on the album. Well, that is amongst the crafty references of popular figures such as Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, Jay Z, Beyonce, and TV shows such as How I Met Your Mother! In our opinion, by calling the album Legendary, it’s provided a pressure that’s pushed the band to produce their best album to date. Whether it will be Legendary or not is anyone’s guess.
The album itself has been cleverly constructed to keep you in a welcomed state of musical euphoria. As soon as you hit play, you’re instantly confronted with the upbeat and catchy melodies of Maybe Tonight, Boomerang and Jukebox.
As the record goes on, in comes the gradual introduction of slightly slower, more acoustic sounding tracks. 7 days being one of them. Although that little bit slower, these tracks still contain that catchy factor courtesy of the use of group vocals! At points, these vocals create the illusion that you’ve stepped into the animated world of The Lion King, especially during the chants that dominate the bridge section of Rescue. But who doesn’t like The Lion King? | 2019-04-21T10:19:06 | https://musicdothash.com/2013/04/07/the-summer-set-legendary-review/ |

"The yoke of Christ is a symbol of discipleship, characterized by submission and obedience to Him. Being yoked with Christ results in rest for your soul. Life’s pressures may not lessen, but if you are intimately linked with Jesus, your soul is free from churning anxiety, and His peace is ruling in your heart. Jump into His yoke. You have nothing to lose - except your weariness - and much to gain."
Lord, thank you for comforting with your words and promises. Help me to cease from my own works and to allow you to take over every aspect of my life. I pray for your divine annointing over me that I may not grow weary and faint of heart, but may rejoice in doing the great work that you have called me. Let no weapon formed against me discourage me, for you command your angels charge over me. Thank you for your divine protection and guidance over my life as I diligently seek you with all my heart, and trusting in you. I bless you and praise you in Jesus' name.

DOWNEY -- The Barnes and Noble bookstore at Long Beach Town Center has donated 12 large boxes of books -- worth a combined $4,300 -- Columbus High School.
The donation was the result of the bookstore's "Donate a Book" program. The program is supported by City National Bank in Long Beach, whose assistant vice president, Luis Dubon, is a former Warren High student who became interested in banking after taking an ROP class.
Barnes and Noble had already donated $1,000 in books to Columbus earlier this year.
"I felt like a kid in a candy store," said Debbie Jordan, Columbus High's records and attendance clerk, when picking up the donations. Sussman Middle School and Dooley Elementary in Long Beach also received donations.
"Every day we strive to meet the needs of our at-risk students and balance those with the teaching methods of our instructors," said Columbus High principal Kathy Succa. "Columbus High School utilizes everything from sandpaper to high tech computer systems to help our students become career and college ready by the time they graduate. There are many people to thank for their generosity. Columbus High School is most grateful for all the help we receive." | 2019-04-19T05:31:17 | http://www.thedowneypatriot.com/articles/barnes-noble-donates-4300-in-books-to-columbus-high |

Re: Eligibility to apply for Education Visa to study Post Graduation in Canada/Australia for undergraduate student?
Yes, you can apply for student VISA. But, to get student visa, you should get an admission letter from any university in Canada or Australia. To get admission, you should complete one exam called IELTS. Because, most of the universities in Canada and Germany offers admission by considering the IELTS score of candidates. So, first you should complete IELTS exam. After completing the exams, you can apply for admission in universities, by sending your application form along with your test scores. Then the universities will send you an admission letter, if your academic profile satisfies university admission criteria.
IELTS exam score will be calculated in 10 bands. | 2019-04-19T04:55:14 | http://entrance-exam.net/forum/study-abroad/eligibility-apply-education-visa-study-post-graduation-canada-australia-undergraduate-student-1677566.html |
There is a blurred line between a web developer and a web designer, and probably that’s why you’d want to read this article!
I’ve concocted a helpful quiz for you below, near the ending of this article, should you wish to try it out!
Web developers, well — develop — whilst web designers create mockups through Photoshop or Illustrator or Sketch, right?
Not so easy, considering that Web Developers know Photoshop as well, and Web Designers know how to use Git.
So, it must be that one or the other delve deeper into their technical sides.
The above are qualities and skills that are present in both a web developer and a web designer. Since working in a web or digital company, both of these roles are interchangeable, but sooner or later one will have to take a route on which they feel more comfortable with.
The web designer will feel more comfortable with getting the whole picture of visual and interactive design in good working order — pixel perfection — as soon as they get a good grasp of how a website functions.
Web Designer: This Twitter feed found in the footer should update itself in realtime, instead of the user having to refresh their browser to see the latest tweets, please.
Web Developer: Sure, I’m going to add this to the to-do list of that website. I can implement this in 20 minutes!
You will realise in the conversation above that both designer and developer understand how the Twitter feed works. Yet, one of them was responsible for thinking of putting the Twitter feed there in a design layout, and another one is responsible for making it happen on a real website.
As a Web Designer, you’ll love putting out amazing works of art, that thousands of people use and will make their day even better as they interact with your art.
If it makes you smile with joy, then surely it will make the audience smile as well!
You put your heart and mind into it. Period.
If that’s enticing enough for you to become a web designer, what more could you ask? Yes, you could even work as a team of web designers who perform handiworks to brainstorm designs creatively, which is absolutely fun!
The web developer, however, is the person who loves to hold the nitty and gritty info, make it simple to understand, and convey it to people so that the discussion doesn’t go way too far off on the developer side. This is an attribute of Mastery, which we will discuss below.
I’m sure you tick all the boxes for what gets you driven or motivated — that could include Mating — but if you think deep enough or what gets your attention the most, what would it be?
Because as a Web Developer, one of you heartfelt M’s of motivation would be Mastery and/or Material.
Like, who wouldn’t want to have the shiniest and greatest technology? That’s Material.
Or, who wouldn’t want to be their own boss, keeping their actions intentional, and owning their agenda? That’s Mastery.
And as web developers, it is easy to be code monkeys of the 21st century, but I know that as you read this article, you understand to stay away from being a code monkey. It isn’t nice in the first place!
Am I a web designer or a web developer?
I have a quiz below which should help guide you on whether you would love being either a web developer or a web designer, even if you are either one already!
Are you a Web Developer or a Web Designer?
If you still feel like you need proofing before you get out into the field and plot your route even firmer, see the quotes below.
All web developers are masters of the art of semantics. They have to be detailed-oriented and passionate about structure and semantics.
A Web Developer to me is someone who understands how a website needs to integrate with a backend service whether it be a database, flat file, service API endpoint.
A great web/graphics designer Knows the perfect balance between usability and beautiful graphics. He/She also knows the design process is always user-centred and not ego-centred.
A Web Designer to me is someone who understands how a website is put together. They are able to take resources (images, scripts, stylesheets, documents) and create or configure the markup to produce an end result.
Both web developers and designers have things in common, but one or the other is responsible for more technical work on their side.
They both look up to each other as having similar knowledge, so that the ties between technical conversations are clearly understood.
But with that said it’s very common for them to flip around their job roles, but at the end of the day it’s up to them to decide what profession describes them more — on a personal level as well.
Finding out which one you may be is a simple decision, but a tough one. Where you’ll have to ask a question to yourself on which one suits you better. However, this isn’t a black-or-white decision but instead a weighted decision.
The bottom line is: choose what you’re more comfortable with, and stick with that. If it doesn’t fare as much, you can always nudge a little to the opposite side and see how things go well for you. Sooner or later you’ll get a good understanding of your own likings, and choose what fits best for you! | 2019-04-22T00:57:42 | https://www.micsumner.com/web/web-developer-vs-web-designer-a-tutorial-guide/ |
Robert Browning: Poems Summary and Analysis of "Caliban Upon Setebos"
The poem begins with a section in brackets, in which Caliban, the creature from Shakespeare's The Tempest, introduces himself. He crawls on his belly along the island on which he is trapped, talking to himself freely since his masters Proper (Prospero in Shakespeare) and Miranda are asleep. He heads for a cave.
From here, he begins his main address, which is about Setebos, the being he considers his God and creator. For Caliban, Setebos created the world from "being ill at ease," as an attempt to compensate for his cold, miserable existence. Because Setebos could not make himself a peer, a "second self/To be His mate," he created a miserable island of lesser creatures that "He admires and mocks too."
Caliban, in imitation of what he believes Setebos to be, gourds a fruit "into mash," in effect acting as a creator himself. He imagines if he could "make a live bird out of clay," he might watch indifferently as that bird "lay stupid-like," unable to fly. He is imagining himself showing the same indifference to the fate and happiness of his potential creatures as he imagines Setebos shows to him.
Not only does Caliban believe Setebos to rule without any moral sense, he also believes Setebos is entirely unpredictable, liable to cause pain for an offense that he had otherwise approved of. Caliban does wonder whether he simply might not understand the ways of Setebos, but also notes that Setebos took pains not to create any creatures who, even if they might be "worthier than Himself" in some respects, would have the power to unseat Setebos from his godly place.
When Caliban considers why Setebos would be so unhappy to have created an unhappy world, he conjectures that perhaps Setebos is Himself a subordinate to a power that He does not understand. Calling this greater power "the quiet," Caliban describes it as one "that feels nor joy nor grief,/Since both derive from weakness in some way." Driven by resentment over not having a connection to His own maker, Setebos must have angrily made the Earth "a bauble-world" where nothing makes sense.
Caliban next thinks on Prosper, his magician master on the island. He play-acts as Prosper, using other animals to create his own hierarchy where he is the master over others. From this experience, Caliban considers that perhaps Setebos created the world not from any strong emotion or feeling, but rather for the sake of work itself, to "exercise much craft,/By no means for the love of what is worked." That the world might one day fall down does not matter under this line of thought, since the work can simply be repeated.
He returns to thoughts about Setebos's unpredictability, citing how "one hurricane will spoil six months' hope." What's more, Caliban cannot rationalize why he would be so hated while Prosper would be so blessed by the deity. Caliban holds some hope that the world might get a chance to improve itself and become less built on random destruction and misery.
The best way to "escape [Setebos's] ire," Caliban believes, is to feign misery. He believes that showing Setebos happiness is sure to bring pain down on oneself, and so Caliban only dances "on dark nights," while he at other times works to look miserable and angry. He will stay committed to this plan until Setebos is either taken over by the quiet or dies on His own.
The final section is again bracketed. As a storm begins, Caliban sees a raven flying overhead and fears that the bird will report his musings to Setebos. Worried he will be punished for revealing happiness and expressing impertinence, he immediately resumes his guise of a miserable beast.
This dramatic monologue, published in 1864 in Dramatis Personae, is arguably one of Browning's most sophisticated. Its fundamental questions are theological, as it contemplates both the origins and motives of divine power, and by extension what humans are capable of understanding about their world and the forces that control it. The blank verse allows Caliban's rambling but observant thoughts to create a memorable voice that blends misery and perception.
There are a few historical and literary influences that should be noted. The most immediate is Shakespeare's The Tempest. In the play, the wizard Prospero is stranded on a wild, magical island with his daughter Miranda and certain creatures he commands through his magic. One of these is Caliban, a miserable humanoid who finally commits to seeking grace in the end. Browning co-opts this creature for several reasons, not least of all because he is defined by his misery. He views himself as lesser (and objectively is a less sophisticated being than the humans), and is unhappy to be under Prospero's direct control. Using this creature as a vantage to explore our own relationship to a divine power not only creates higher drama and stakes, but also imbues all the considerations with a cynicism.
The immediate historical influence on the poem is the then-recent publication of Darwin's Origins of the Species. Browning was responding to several naturalist theories that surfaced in the face of the scientific realization that man might not be a direct and divine creation. The first of these theories is that God could be understood by natural, empirical evidence. The second is that God must not exist in the image of man if we have evolved from animals and hence are not directly in His image. There are two pieces of corroborating evidence that suggest Browning was exploring these ideas. One is the epigraph to the poem – "Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself" – taken from Psalm 50 in the Bible, and spoken by God to wicked sinners who thought the deity wicked like themselves. The second piece of evidence is the poem's subtitle: "Natural Theology in the Island." This would certainly have resonated with scholars and educated readers of the time as being relevant to the then-current theological debates following the revelations popularized by Darwin's study.
So the questions Browning asks through this monologue are all centered in these contemplations, though it should be noted that with his characteristic sophistication, Browning does not suitably answer any of these questions with certainty. The monologue has dialectical possibilities, and one should read it as a consideration of various possibilities instead of as a philosophical tract. That Caliban has a firm idea of Setebos should not keep us from doubting his beliefs and investigating what has influenced him to understand Setebos the way he does.
First should come an analysis of Caliban himself. Unlike the creature in Shakespeare's play, Browning's Caliban has a remarkable degree of self-consciousness. Perhaps the most telling quality of his monologue is his tendency to address himself in third person. It's a childish construction for the creature to use, but it also reflects his belief that Setebos will punish him for showing any happiness and joy. He is intelligent enough to realize that his true identity is divorced from his behavior, and as such disassociates himself so he can study himself objectively. It's a Freudian construction, a superego judging an ego. One other element of Caliban is his delusional ability to justify his own limitations. Those limitations are physical – he's a humanoid creature – and circumstantial – he has to serve a cruel master, with his only release being when Prospero is asleep. In many ways, one can argue that Caliban feels compelled to create Setebos so as to justify his misery. If Setebos is responsible for fashioning a terrible world, then it is justifiable that Caliban himself is miserable.
And indeed, the Setebos he imagines is a pathetic and miserable creature. Like the Victorian naturalists, Caliban does not piece together his sense of a god from an inner feeling, but instead from empirical evidence. Notice the amount of this long poem that is devoted to categorizing creatures, describing them in grotesque and miserable terms. The repeated phrase "So He" suggests a scientific construction, in which Caliban paints his God based on observation rather than any a priori considerations. Based on such a miserable island, Setebos is imagined as a spiteful and resentful creature who creates not to punish others or please himself, but rather to exercise his ambivalence. He creates simply because it's something to do, to distract Himself from "the quiet," His own deity and one He cannot understand, all with little care for the concerns of those He creates. There are no moral concerns in Setebos, even though Caliban imbues Setebos with emotions. Because these creatures exist below Setebos, it is not in his perspective to be concerned with them.
Caliban's entire worldview is based on hierarchy. As a creature under Prospero's control, it is likely comforting to imagine that Prospero himself is controlled by Setebos, and further, that Setebos is controlled by "the quiet." It is only at this highest level that Caliban stops conjecturing, and proposes a creature that "feels nor joy nor grief," in effect having no emotions at all. For a creature punished by the world, it must be nice to think that the ultimate power does not even have room for feelings, since that suggests those feelings are ultimately irrelevant. Further, Caliban exercises his own power over smaller creatures, both physically when he grinds the fruit down or pretends that the snake is Miranda, and imaginatively when he thinks about creating a bird from clay. The irony of Caliban's hierarchy is that he creates his conceptions of those above him using empirical evidence from below. That is, the creatures with superior power are actually dependent on what is below them (or at least Caliban's perception of those things below them), which naturally limits them to Caliban's perceptions. In other words, Browning suggests through Caliban's empirical methods that no matter the imagination of he who derives God this way, God will always be no bigger than what that person sees and does. A miserable creature will create a miserable God, and so by default a happy man will do the opposite.
Overall, this poem is a study of a masterful interpreter, one who attempts to make an order of his world. He studies behavior (including his own) in order to create a system that can then dictate his behavior. It is telling that he ends the poem by again pretending to be miserable, but it is only perceptible to us (through dramatic irony) that these rules are of Caliban's own imagining. The vicious circle of an empirically created God ultimately leads to man living through a lack of imagination, creating his own self-fulfilling prophecy. That Browning disapproves of or at least has pity for such a worldview is apparent – but what worldview he deems superior, or even how he perceives God, is not clear. Instead, what is admirable in the poem is the quest of self-analysis and thought.

For her visit to Greece, Angela Merkel's soft green jacket should have been just the right colour choice to convey a sense of calm. That is, if it wasn't the very same one the German chancellor wore to celebrate Germany's victory over Greece during Euro 2012. But with fashion not coming to her as naturally as economics, Merkel has got her formula and she's sticking with it. Her signature look comprises three-button blazers, often from German designer Bettina Schoenbach, in a huge range of colours. Dutch graphic designer Noortje van Eekelen even created a Pantone chart of the look for her website The Spectacle of Tragedy. From black to beige to a very on-trend purple, it runs to an impressive 90 shades. That's one for every situation Europe's most powerful woman might find herself in. | 2019-04-24T07:06:17 | https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/shortcuts/2012/oct/09/angela-merkel-jacket-pantone |
The head of a local branch of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the southern Turkish province of Mersin has stood up for the party’s mayoral candidate, also the incumbent in the office, who faces accusations of theft, saying that he is their own thief, according to video footage made public by an opposition deputy.
Republican People’s Party (CHP) deputy Tuncay Özkan posted the video in which AKP branch chairman in the Çamlıyayla district, Mehmet Ali Yetiş, talks about the accusations of theft faced by the party’s mayoral candidate for the district.
“We have two options. Either you will be on the side of the traitors or… Many people have accused our current mayor of theft and wrongdoing. I am telling you it is better to be on the side of the thief than on the side of the traitors. The thief is our thief, friends,” Yetiş says in the video, warning that if the AKP loses the elections in the district, there will be serious consequence for the locals.
The candidate is Çamlıyayla’s current mayor, İsmail Tepebağlı, who is from the ranks of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) but a joint mayoral candidate of the AKP and the MHP, which has formed an election alliance. | 2019-04-24T19:02:07 | https://www.turkishminute.com/2019/02/09/akp-official-defends-mayoral-candidate-accused-of-theft-saying-he-is-our-thief/ |

Valerie Mackenzie-Voboril is a shining example of the CrossFit spirit. In addition to being an amazing athlete, she has an infectiously positive attitude. Voboril, a fourth grade teacher takes her CrossFit seriously; last year she postponed her wedding in order to compete in the 2009 Games.
Valerie took 2nd at last year's SoCal Regional Qualifier. Unfortunately, her CrossFit Games dreams were dashed early in Aromas when she was struck down by heat stroke. Valerie's tumble across the finish line of the 7k run was one of the most heart-wrenching moments in CrossFit Games history.
This year, Valerie came back strong. She took 2nd place at the Southwest Regional. At the HDC, an even performance and the event of her dreams (video link) helped pave the way to a third place finish overall.
In this pre-Games interview with the muscle-up structure being assembled in the background, Pat Sherwood talks with Valerie about her training over the past year and that famous fall in last year's Games.
Valerie, you were awesome to watch. Congrats on placing so well!

Fans, coaches and players -- not just officials -- need to step up their games before disaster strikes.
If you follow me on social media (the math involving my modest number of followers says it’s unlikely) you know I’ve been consistent in my bewilderment at the officiating of area high school football games this season.
Officiating has affected, and perhaps determined, the outcome of several games. My beef hasn’t simply been about judgment calls that appeared to be judged incorrectly (those happen), but rather with the mechanics.
Crews have often bumbled yardage mark offs, spots (the ball can’t be exactly on the yard line EVERY time – that’s lazy), downs and rules. The common occurrences expose inexperienced, perhaps undertrained officials.
However, there are reasons for the above. Who in the heck would want to be an official today? One hundred bucks a game isn’t terrible, but do you want to be the subject of nonstop verbal abuse for three hours?
Shreveport football officiating 101: Why take the abuse?
The officiating hasn't been the only embarrassing factor in games I’ve attended, or received reports from. I’m not sure if some coaches spent more time calling plays and schemes or crawling in the ear holes of the folks in stripes.
The actions in the stands isn’t any better. If the right team wins or executes a terrific play, fans are happy. If not, it’s the officials’ fault. The mind-set is completely out of control.
I covered the North Webster-Loyola game last week and witnessed the cops called to the field twice. One instance involved a disruptive member of the chain gang, the second sent a handful of officers to track down an unruly, profanity-loving fan.
Young athletes aren’t winning in life if parents and coaches conjure excuses to blame everyone else for a lack of execution or the fact another team/player is simply better. Winning is terrific; I’m as competitive as they come. However, losing can teach us all just as much, and, in the long run, produce victories.
I’ve never heard of a college coach or NFL scout pass on a kid because the referee made a bad call. If your kid is good enough, he or she will get there. And it’s better off if they’re tough and able to self-evaluate. If they look the other way and point fingers amid adversity, good luck, the road will be much bumpier.
It’s not good for anyone to look into the stands and see parents literally fighting (not at the Week 10 game I attended), or throwing food on the field because of a perceived bad call. It’s also not good to see officials (barely) escape a mob of hysterical fans – despite the help of policemen -- at a local game.
One local coach called the referee at the center of the Loyola-North Webster game “the one guy I’d choose to referee my games.” The point: Officials, like your favorite team, can struggle. They’re human. But they didn’t put your boys in a three-touchdown hole.
Amazingly, fans don’t credit officials after victories. How is that possible?
I'm more incensed by the aftermath of such incidents like the ones I witnessed at Loyola. Adult rarely (at best) take responsibility for their – or fellow fans’ – actions. A bad call doesn’t give the rest of us carte blanche. Imagine if everyone around you lost their marbles and you became a bull's-eye for vitriol after you dub a coach’s decision “idiotic” moments before it works and you’re on your feet cheering.
As Friday’s game developed, some of the Loyola players popped off in frustration, and that’s not to be excused, but they, along with Loyola coaches, were ultimately forced to turn from the field of play and tell their fan base to cool it as things got heated at Messmer Stadium.
The kids had to tell the parents to act like adults.
By no stretch are the officials or fans present at the Loyola game the only problem. I’ve seen it – on and off the field -- all season. However, it was Week 10. We’re now in the postseason. If we don’t compose ourselves, playoff implications could take rage to another level and that’s when national headlines – not good ones -- could be made.
“Johnny” doesn’t want to carry the burden of watching his parents punching (or worse) a fan or official on YouTube for the rest of his life.
Boo the officials or opposing fans all you want, it’s tradition. However, verbal and physical abuse is sometimes illegal and always completely embarrassing. The actions, the threats toward officials are getting worse.
I know social media, and the current climate, has made it OK to call each other names, disrespect one another and demean opinions without merit, but for crying out loud think about your actions when you’re in public. At least spam-like usernames and accounts can help hide your identity on social media.
But Friday nights are real life. With real-life implications. Coach the games, watch the games, officiate the games. Stop deflecting blame and embrace the teachable moments in wins and losses. And more importantly, remember those are fellow human beings who drop passes, miss blocks and butcher pass interference calls.
We can all be better. We must be better. | 2019-04-24T08:38:24 | https://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/sports/columnists/roy-lang/2018/11/08/prep-football-playoffs-have-arrived-we-all-need-better/1932449002/ |

"Eagle Squadron" before America entered World War II.
Like an archangel of yore, the image of a lone Spitfire patrolling the heavens of England to defend against the onslaught of the German war machine inspired a handful of American volunteers to fly and fight for the RAF. During the darkest months of the war these American pilots joined Britain in the fight against Germany's seemingly invincible Luftwaffe.
A Time of Eagles" is a salute to the daring American pilots of "Eagle Squadrons" who earned the respect of their fellow RAF pilots and a special place in history. It began in the spring of 1940 after the armies of France were defeated by Germany at Dunkirk. Britain lost her strongest ally in the war and she and her commonwealth nations stood alone against the German war machine. During these dark months, a small group of American pilots joined Britain in the fight against Germany's seemingly invincible Luftwaffe. These 244 brave aviators flew the most maneuverable plane of the time - the Spitfire - with elite "Eagle Squadrons" of the RAF. Many became leading aces of the war, earning service honors from both England and America.
When the United States entered the War on September 15, 1942, the men of "Eagle Squadrons" transferred into the American Air Force and became the 4th Fighter Group.
Fighter pilot Oscar Coen was one of these brave men and "A Time of Eagles" portrays Coen as he soars through the clouds at sunset in his Spitfire. As one of the original members of "Eagle Squadron," Oscar Coen earned Britain's Distinguished Flying Cross and a French Cross of War as well as a Distinguished Flying Cross and a Silver Star from the United States Air Force. He is credited with six "kills." During his service, he was shot down once in France near the coastal town of Dunkirk. Looking back on his war years, Coen said: "There were as many reasons why we went to England as pilots. A lot of us saw the political ramifications of the war. We wanted to stop Hitler. But some of us were just adventurers. A lot of guys went because the British Spitfire was the hottest thing in the air and they wanted to fly it." | 2019-04-20T10:41:00 | http://www.vbader.com/timeofeagles.html |
Last night Masterchef delivered a Thai inspired elimination that farewelled another contestant.
The blue team put the bakery challenge loss behind them as the judges announced it would be a Thai-themed elimination challenge over three rounds.
Ashleigh, Billie, Rose, Stephen, Melita, Jamie, Jacqui, Ava and Anna were excited to learn that respected Thai chef Benjamin Cooper of Melbourne’s Kong BBQ and Chin Chin restaurants would be in the kitchen to encourage them and help judge. Benjamin told them to strive for vibrant, happy and festive food. In round one they would have just 10 minutes to create a dish, with only the top three safe from elimination.
Most contestants chose scallops, as they cook quickly, while Anna opted for mussels. Melita’s seared scallops with a Thai dressing were well received, although Benjamin said he would have liked more acidic flavours. Ashleigh’s soft shell crab was praised, but it was Anna, Billie and Jamie who were safe after the first round.
The second round saw Ashleigh, Rose, Stephen, Melita, Jacqui and Ava given 20 minutes to cook an impressive dish, with only the top three guaranteed safety. Rose’s chilli salt snapper was missing something and Melita’s pork curry mince served on a betel leaf was let down by its oiliness. Jacqui’s crispy whitebait didn’t pack the punch it needed while Stephen’s curry wowed the judges keeping him safe from elimination. Ava and Ashleigh then joined him.
Rose, Jacqui and Melita were left to fight it out in round three, with 30 minutes on the clock. Benjamin encouraged them to ramp up the chili in their dishes and personally delivered more. Jacqui cooked chicken skewers, cucumber salad and coconut rice. Melita, who regards Thai as a strength, cooked a red Thai chicken curry. Rose prepared spicy, fragrant chicken larb with a fried egg. In the tasting, Rose and Jacqui’s dishes got positive reviews. Melita served a beautiful tasting dish, but in her rush to plate up, she served very small pieces of chicken. Unfortunately, serving red Thai chicken curry with only a tiny portion of chicken was enough to send her home.
Melita is continuing her studies in nutritional medicine. She is workinzg towards launching cooking classes in her local area. | 2019-04-24T12:45:55 | http://rynostv.com/masterchef-thaitastic-elimination/ |
Yet another unwanted, unthought through, and useless change. Thanks CCP.
Posting in a Goonswarm CTA thread.
I like it, and would prefer if all caps were locked out of Astrahuses, and couldn't tether on them at all.
What is the motivation behind this - I don't buy this being a bug, this feels like a conscious design decision that you're passing off as a "bug".
Jump Freighters are bigger than Rorquals and yet they can still dock.
I mean never let logic get in your way.
It's a simple concept. Don't induce mechanics that break fun in the game and "fix" things that are not breaking game play. The fact the reasonable and logical people can understand why this would be a bad mechanic says it all.
The more mechanics that inhibit player fun you introduce, the more tedious you make the game, the less people will line up to play the game regardless if it is free or pay to play.
It is difficult to understand the full rational given we only have a portion of the equation in hand (we just know about the citadels). Maybe with the full picture of structures (indust. arrays, etc.) will we eventually get it. Today clearly most are not.
Given there were no panics or game breaking situations to leave it "as is", why not wait for new structures to make this change? It simply creates confusion & frustration without the means to calm the players with a "but here is what will replace it" type feedback.
So unless you could provide the full explanation, there are no underlying needs to change it immediately.
If you hate the rorqual that much, why not remove it from the game and reimburse skills?
last 3 or 4 years have been nothing but nerfs.
How about you postpone this change to the release of drilling platforms, which will - as far as I know - nerf refining rigs in citadels, so most miners will want to switch over to them anyway (they can then take this into account for their decision which size they're going to build)?
It's okay. Didn't need an industrial ship that hauls and compresses ore to be able to dock with the Astrahaus refinery. Par for the course on the Rorqual train wreck coming down the line.
I'm inordinately fond of miner tears and even I think this is unwarranted.
Source? Last I heard was that they were thinking about removal of mining rigs from citadels without destroying them, which is quite a difference.
Putting mechanics like this as stop gap measures are in and of themselves game breaking mechanics. Nothing is worse than directing your CUSTOMER BASE in one direction temporarily and them pulling the carpet out from under them...horrible design and horrible customer service.
1 star in yelp for this.
It's just more of the same, really. 'This is how we think you should be doing it, so we're going to force you to do it that way'. Small mining groups in lowsec can't afford a Fortizar, and even if they could, a Fortizar onlining in lowsec or NPC null is a big fat target.
Might as well have told the smaller mining groups "So you were feeling good about your small mining group managing to buy a Rorqual for boosts? Well, too bad. Go back to sitting in a POS (while we let you) and running a compression array. You're not allowed to use the shiny new toys."
There's literally no visible reason to push this through now, instead of waiting for the industrial complexes and drilling platforms. It's not like people are using Battle Rorquals en masse and then ducking into waiting astrahusen.
Hey folks. We've got a bug fix coming in October that I think is especially important to draw your attention to ahead of time.
The intended design is that Rorquals should have the same docking access as normal sized capital ships like the carrier, dread and force aux classes. We're fixing this bug in the main October release which means that Rorquals will no longer be able to dock in Astrahus citadels.
Did you really think the Citadel would become the reprocessing platform after all the dev blogs specifically said the drilling platform would be?
They needed to do it to get rid of outposts quicker, so they don't hang around as long as POS will have to.
The logical time to lock the Rorqual out is therefore when the replacement structures are released.
Just wanted to add my voice to the general consensus that this is horrible. This completely destroys the Rorq's ability to do Null Sec logistics in feasible manner. Please reconsider.
Quark receives a shuttle that his cousin Gaila has been promising him for years. He christens it Quark's Treasure and for its maiden voyage takes his brother Rom and nephew Nog to Earth, where Nog has been accepted to Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. Quark also intends to make the trip financially profitable by smuggling a load of illicit kemocite explosive to Orion on the return voyage.
As the ship nears Earth, Rom finds that due to sabotage by Gaila they are unable to drop out of warp. However, by detonating part of the unstable kemocite "shipment" to create an explosion they can drop out of warp. Unfortunately, in doing so the ship and crew are thrown back in time to July 1947 and crash land near Roswell, New Mexico. The Ferengi awake on a U.S. military base, where the Americans believe them to be Martians. After Rom repairs their malfunctioning universal translators hidden in their ear canals, Quark begins negotiations with the humans, whom he considers backward and gullible, to sell advanced technology from the future. He brags to Rom and Nog in private that "within a year we'll be running this planet," and dreams of cultivating a vast Ferengi economic empire.
Unknown to the Ferengi, however, Constable Odo had stowed away aboard the shuttle with them and as a result was also thrown back in time. Using his shape shifter abilities, Odo is able to move about the base locating and repairing their spacecraft. He then appears as a German Shepherd Guard Dog in the room where the Ferengi are being held, and morphs into his normal form, telling Quark that he knew about the kemocite smuggling, and that they must try to preserve the timeline and not alter Earth history. Quark, Rom, and Nog then escape from custody with the help of an Army nurse and her college professor boyfriend who has been brought to the base to try to establish dialogue with the aliens.
By harnessing the energy of an atomic bomb test scheduled for that morning, Rom is able to use the remaining kemocite to cause a temporal rift which returns them to their proper time. After dropping off Nog at Starfleet Academy, Quark has to sell the damaged spacecraft for salvage and he, Odo, and Rom return to Deep Space Nine. As the episode ends Odo is seen strong arming Quark off to a holding cell to face charges of smuggling contraband.
...are made with Capital Components.
...require Capital Ship Construction to build.
...were going to use XL Rigs before CCP went with Lows instead of Rigs on them.
Really, the only thing that doesn't make them a Capital Ship is that you don't need Capital Ships to fly them. That's one single thing that makes them not capitals compared to three that do.
removing docking access for rorqual inn astrahus will lead to less use of that ship. you can compress ore in POS,CITADEL you can do mining boost with ORCA, command ship sush sleipnir , absolution or nighthawk or even use command destroyer.
This is a poorly thought out change. Don't echo chamber your logic behind this and listen to the folks here please.
Focus your efforts on other things that need fixed, not on making an already under utilized, and undervalued ship even more under utilized and under valued.
... the Rorqual is going to struggle enough as it is if you insist on making them immobile while boosting.
Rorquals, post-change, will not require Sieging to be able to boost. They'll be getting a 4% per level boost to mining and a 3% per level boost to shields when outside of siege. Using the Industrial Core will increase their boosts by up to 25% (for the upcoming T2 Industrial Core).
I assume in a few weeks you'll be telling us that all module slots except 1 high slot for indy core will be being removed in nov?
Don't worry, making jump clones without standings is an unintended feature, but this is such a game breaking bug, it has to go.
A "bug" that hasn't had a single word mentioned in 5 months and is probably a database entry away from being fixed... K... that sounds really believable.
Either way, this is dumb to do in October. At least wait until the rorq changes come.
Maybe CCP is just trying to make everything worth more? Less miners = lower supply = high prices = expensive ships. | 2019-04-20T01:23:40 | https://eve-search.com/thread/493696-1/page/2 |

Expect to see a large number of Fire Departments from all over Utah on Saturday. They will be conducting a training exercise for fighting wildfire in urban interface areas. Read more about this exercise at Utah Wildland Engine Training or browse the Utah Fire Information homepage.
Jody has scheduled the first 2 major road projects that will affect traffic on the Ranch. Expect detours and/or delays for these. Please plan ahead and drive safely around the crews.
Crack sealing in Tollgate Canyon- June 25th. Expect some short delays, but probably not closures for this project.
Mag Chloride - June 23rd. As usual, this is a VERY busy day for Jody, volunteers and the contracted crews. This annual treatment will help keep dust at bay on the more heavily travelled roads and give Jody a chance to focus his grading magic on some less busy roads for much of the rest of the summer. While treating the roads, expect alternating closures between the Pine Meadow and Forest Meadow sides. Do not drive on closed roads. Premature traffic reduces the effectiveness of the Chloride treatment, and wastes the Ranch budget.
June is nearly here. It's time that plowing markers were put away for the season. Rebar on the edges of the roads prevents Jody from grading to full potential.
Time to get trailers, snowmobiles, cats, etc. out of the winter parking lots.
And, finally, have a great summer on the Ranch!
Culverts: Please remember that maintenance of driveway culverts is the homeowner's responsibility. During the spring meltoff, it is important that they be clear to preserve the roadways. Jody has his hands full and cannot maintain our driveways as well.
Fire: Really, we need to start thinking about it. Wildfire is the greatest threat to our community. Please read and understand the requirements for all uses of fire on the ranch. ( Summer campfires and winter brush burning) When the Fire Hazard Sign at the bottom of the canyon goes to HIGH: No Burning of Any Kind is Allowed.
Vehicles in the parking lots: As has been the case since 2002 ( yes, I've been reading old newsletters), vehicles need to be removed from the upper parking lot as soon as the snow is melted out. This is the staging area for summer projects. Vehicles, sleds, trailers, etc. left beyond the end of June will be towed. Also please, trailers in the dumpster locations in the parking lot at the bottom of the hill need to be moved for relocating our trash cans. | 2019-04-25T02:53:45 | http://www.pinemeadowranch.org/newsletter-spring-2009.html |
JT is a Global Citizen Year alum (Ecuador ’14), and a Gates Millennium Scholar studying Global Liberal Studies, Urban Education, and Spanish at NYU. The following post comes froma presentation he delivered at the Ford Foundation in New York City on April 2, 2015.
These questions haunted me. Would people judge my intelligence based on where I wanted to go? Or what I wanted to do? Growing up, I always saw myself pursuing a career in education or non-profit management. Better yet, I just wanted to dosomething that would allow me to break free from the limiting environment where I grew up, but my values and goals were very different thanthose of most of my classmates. My career aspirations weren’t particularly “successful” career options or big “money-makers.” Thus, I began to shape my entire high school career based around making myself more “college-driven” to fit in with the rest of my peersÛÓtaking challenging courses, putting myself out there with different extracurricular activitiesÛÓall to make myself look “better” on paper for the anticipated college and job applications I would be filling out in a couple of years. When people asked me what I wanted to do, I always felt shameful of saying what I truly wanted. My aspirations didn’t seem “right.” I would then tell everyone I wanted to be a lawyer, trying toseek approval from others, though I always carried my doubts within. Learning didn’t seem “fun” anymore as it should have been, and this was not a particularly healthy behavior choice. This was my life in the trenches. I eventually got accepted to one of the best schools in the nation, NYU, and later found out I received a full scholarship through the Gates Foundation. However, I was completely burnt out. I had beenrunning on this academic treadmill for years now, lost, pretending to be someone I wasn’t, and I was unhappy.
So how did I dig myself out?
My senior year, by some stroke of luck, I heard about a program called Global Citizen YearÛÓa global bridge year program which recruits, trains, and sends a diverse, national corps of high school graduates each year to Ecuador, Senegal, Brazil, IndiaÛÓand soon in other parts of Asia and the Middle EastÛÓto live with host families in local communities while working on apprenticeships. I couldn’t imagine a better fit for someone like me, who wanted to regain my love of learning so I could make the most of college when I got there. It was almost as if I were trapped in a desertÛÓdying of thirstÛÓuntil I finally saw that cool drink of water. I told the people at NYU that college would have to wait. Instead of going to school, I got on a plane and flew to Ecuador, a country I knew nothing about. I moved into a small, yellow room upstairs in a house with four seamstress sisters in the Andes Mountains, while teaching Environmental Education and English at a local school.
My Global Citizen Year can be defined by one word:craziness. As the year went by, I started to do things not for the sake of trying to please other people. Instead of trying to define myself through others, I wanted to find my own voice. I started to do things because I wanted to do them and find out how much I was capable of. I rediscovered my love of learningfor the sake of learning. I developed a confidence that I should live life happy with my own craft without having to please anyone else. Apprenticing at a school in Ecuador gave me a clearer picture of where I wanted to take my life. I found out teaching was challenging, but it inspired me everyday to go to school and try to becomebetter at that craft. It was something that washard, but I loved it.
When I completed my Global Citizen Year, I took anotherrisk by teaching for a summer program called Breakthrough Collaborative inTexas. I taught ninth grade geometry to very low-income Latino students. Iloved it. Although teaching wasn’t necessarily “easy,”itmade me realize that I could have a tangible effect on other people, and I valued that aboveanything else.
I am currently a first-year student at NYU. I am studying Global Studies with a liberal arts focus, Urban Education, and Spanish. The biggest difference I see in myself now is that I feel better prepared for college. Global Citizen Year allowed me to find my purpose. I amso grateful for my Global Citizen Year in Ecuador andso eager to see the bridge year movement grow. | 2019-04-23T20:16:29 | https://www.globalcitizenyear.org/updates/alumni-post-life-in-the-trenches-digging-my-way-out/ |
You have been told by your doctor that you have a “frozen shoulder.” What does that mean? In the simplest of terms, it describes a shoulder that is either too painful to move—or a shoulder that won’t move at all.
While there are many causes of frozen shoulder including trauma, tissue adhesions, bone spurs, or even a general lack of use, the fact that your shoulder is stiff is often not your biggest issue. You just want to get rid of the pain! You want to sleep through the night. You want to dress yourself. You want to do your normal daily activities, pain free.
What should you do? Patients are surprised to learn that the most basic treatment is to move the shoulder. The important thing to remember is to not move so that it hurts. Repetitive, pain-free movements, no matter how small, can help reduce pain and will often increase your pain-free range. Even the smallest repetitive movement increases the blood flow to the injured area, relaxes the muscles, and promotes the secretion of natural lubricating fluids in the joints of the shoulder—all of which promotes healing and makes the shoulder feel better almost immediately.
There are lots of therapeutic exercises and methods for doing these small, repetitive, pain-free movements. One of the simplest is done with a “shoulder pulley.” With this inexpensive over-the-door rope and pulley device you can lift your sore arm with the opposite good arm by pulling up and down on the shoulder pulley handles. Using this method, the patient can precisely control how high they are lifting to avoid causing any pain. There is no strain on any other part of your body as one sits and gently moves their sore arm up and down, several times a day.
Here’s how. Put the shoulder pulley over any door and close the door. Sit down on a chair facing the door in a comfortable position with the chair turned slightly so the injured shoulder is closer to the door and pulley. Adjust the line length so that both handles are slightly above the waist while seated. Keep the sore shoulder totally relaxed and let the “good arm” do all the work, raising and lowering the impaired arm. Up and down movements should be small and pain free. Work within the pain-free range, regardless of how small. It can be amazing at how much better one feels within a few minutes. Don’t lift the impaired arm so high that the elbow extends above the shoulder to avoid pinching soft tissue in the joint.
Consult your doctor or a physical medicine specialist like a physical or occupational therapist before beginning any therapeutic exercise routine. In extreme cases an orthopedic doctor may need to manually start the shoulder moving again while the patient is under anesthesia.
Often, small pain-free movements using a shoulder pulley can help “thaw out” a frozen shoulder. | 2019-04-23T22:59:48 | https://www.myrangemaster.com/blog/2014/4/1/how-to-move-that-painful-frozen-shoulder |

How much do you rely on recipes?
We really like cookbooks. I like to read them for ideas. DH likes to actually use them (I use them too, but generally with more modifications). We both love to try new different things, which means that now we’re back from Paradise with more limited food options if we want new and different without first driving for two hours, we’re going to have to make it ourselves.
Cooking without a cookbook is how I was taught. Most of our groceries were based on whatever was on sale, which means my parents were very good at cooking based on what we had rather than going out to buy things based on what they planned to cook.
We’ve sort of reversed that now that A. we have enough money that it doesn’t matter if an ingredient is expensive when not on sale (though I still use walnuts in place of pinenuts in pesto– I still have limits) and B. DH has taken over the bulk of the cooking.
We haven’t been for a full grocery run for a couple of weeks. We had a couple of dinner parties for which we over-bought and then got overwhelmed with the CSA and then ended up not making things on our menu plan because we got busy. I hate wasting food, so instead of our usual weekly menu planning I basically told DH just to get a few necessities and we would eat down our freezer and the fridge.
One of the things we needed to deal with was a head of broccoli. We’d put a broccoli chicken casserole (from The Old Fashioned Cookbook) on the menu list, but it had been there for a couple of weeks and DH just wasn’t into it. So I suggested maybe we could use up the pie crusts leftover from our last party (we’d made mini-quiches) to make a chicken broccoli potpie instead. He was much more enthusiastic about the idea than he’d been about casserole and suggested we make it that night.
I found him in the kitchen with two pots and a pan on the stove, the grater and a measuring cup out along with the milk, and a big hunk of cheese. There was chicken sauteeing in the pan and chopped broccoli on a cutting board. After some questioning he pointed to a broccoli cheese pie recipe he’d found on the internet. The big pot was slowly boiling water to blanch the broccoli. The little pot was for making cheese sauce. The grater was for the cheese. We discussed the cheese which had not been part of my mental picture and decided we’d try it. At that point DC2 demanded Daddy’s presence in another room and I took over.
I put the pots and grater and measuring cup away. I finished cooking the chicken. I added the broccoli, stirred, and put a lid on. Every few minutes I opened up the lid to stir again. After the broccoli was just a little undercooked, I poured in a handful of flour and stirred it all around. Then I decided that wasn’t enough flour because not every floret or chicken piece had been coated, so I added some more. And stirred and toasted a bit. Then I poured in some milk and stirred until it became a gravy. Not all of the flour had dissolved yet, so I added some more milk and stirred some more. Then I diced a few pieces of cheddar (first I tried slicing and breaking them into chunks, but the chunks were too big, so I diced the next few) and threw them in one slice at a time and stirred until they melted. When the gravy looked cheesy enough I stopped adding cheese. I turned off the stove, stirred a bit more, and stuck on a lid (note: we have an electric stove– if we’d had gas, then I would have turned it down to a simmer).
Pot pie is one of my standard recipes that I make without a recipe. It always starts with a meat or mushrooms (if there’s raw carrots or onions I throw them in before the meat, otherwise raw veggies go after… frozen or cooked veggies go in after the roux), then I put in flour (and maybe spices) with the meat and toast to make a roux. I then add water or milk or soup stock depending on the kind of roux I’m making. Then cooked/frozen veggies. Then it’s ready to be thrown into a prepared pie crust and baked. The only thing I need a recipe for is remembering how long to bake the thing.
I’ve got lots of other standard basic recipes. Quiche, stirfry, spaghetti, chili, “soup” (I really hate “soup”, since that’s where my father always put all of the leftover odds and ends whether they went together or not– so these days we always make soups from a recipe), grilled cheese sandwiches with stuff, empanadas, tacos, baked chicken, fried porkchops, all sorts of fish things, fruit crumble, fruit pie, even granola (thanks miser mom!).
I don’t measure things, I just have a sense of about how much to add and I can tell when it’s not enough. I don’t know how long things take (except the oven part), but I have a sense of when they’re about ready.
Lately we’ve been mostly using recipes. I’ll still substitute based on what we have or what we need to use up. But it’s still kind of fun to just make something based on what we have available.
Before the internet made it easy to find exotic recipes, I used to play around to replicate what I’d eaten at restaurants. Or to fit some craving I was having. We don’t really do that anymore. Instead we’ll find the highest rated recipe on the food network and use that instead. There’s less randomness. On the whole, it’s probably better, in the same way that the Garmin and Yelp have improved our eating out experiences, but we have lost a bit of the serendipity that comes from getting lost and finding something off the beaten path.
Another thing I noticed was that I cook in order to minimize the number of dishes used and the time spent in the kitchen. DH will sometimes do a mise en place. Generally I’ll do my chopping in a way that minimizes the number of cutting boards used (keeping in mind that after a board has touched raw meat it must be washed before using again) and takes advantage of waiting time to chop the next ingredient. This is partly because I get bored waiting in the kitchen, but mostly because growing up I was the one who was going to have to wash all those dishes by hand. Most of my meals take one or at most two pots.
How do you do most of your cooking? Do you use recipes for most things? Do you use a recipe as a base idea and then modify it? Do you have a repertoire of memorized baseline meals that can be modified? Do you like trying out new recipes? Do you buy based on what you want to make or do you make based on what you have on hand? And… do you think your answers to the previous questions are related to when you learned to cook?
Recipes, rarely. When I do, I tend to just see what the ingredients are. Shop for food based on what’s fresh and on special.
That is a good way to save money and eat produce when it’s at its peak.
Same here. Fresh things rather than processed, and I read recipes to see what might be needed. I also have to make sure that a 3-year-old can & will eat at least one item at every meal.
I read a lot of cookbooks for ideas but rarely cook exactly to a recipe. I pride myself on my ability to take a random assessment of ingredients that happen to need using up and turn them into something delicious. We actually get a meal ingredient delivery service with ingredients and I rarely cook every thing exactly to the recipe. But I like the new. Ideas and love not shopping. Plus it makes it really easy to share the cooking because my husband does prefer to cook to a recipe.
On the subject of using up broccoli, I make a pretty tasty broccoli pesto pasta. Basic recipe is chop & steam/boil a head of broccoli until tender. Drain off most of the liquid and put into a food processor with a few spoons/a small jar of basil pesto and whiz until chopped. Depending on what I have available I’ll then cook some chicken or bacon (in the pot I cooked the broccoli in, because like you, I try to minimise the number of pots) then add the meat & broccoli pesto to a pot of cooked pasta (spirals work well). Serve with extra Parmesan cheese.
Pasta is usually one of our go-tos as well. In this case, we were out of spaghetti noodles!
I tend to cook exactly to recipe, though I may omit or substitute particularly expensive or difficult to procure ingredients. If I cook completely off-book it’ll be something simple like a stir-fry, omelette, or tostadas. If left to my own instincts, I tend to underestimate spice use, overcook red meat, and undercook white meat. I didn’t really learn to really cook until late high school/college so it’s not second nature for me.
I never use a cookbook. IMHO, or maybe I don’t have a sensitive enough palate, most of the recipes have a few core ingredients while the rest is generally expensive food onania (e.g., 2 micrograms of this thing that can be bought only in 2 lbs packs and costs $10,000). If you are an experienced cook, you understand what the core ingredients are, how they work together, and what they could potentially be substituted with. Occasionally I will make a brand new recipe from a book or more likely online, but even so I am very unlikely to follow it 100% (as I understand enough about how ingredients interact to know what’s safe to omit and am neither likely to go shopping midweek for exotic ingredients nor crazy to spend money). So, yeah. tl; dr: never by the recipe.
How long have you been cooking? When did you start?
I think I started cooking in high school. So over 25 years ago? Man, I’m old. (I’m 43 now).
I love your definition of generally expensive food onania!
For a new dish I tend to look up the two or three best-sounding recipes and build a chimera; e.g. oh this recipe uses heavy cream (yay) but it needs lots of spices I don’t have, but the other uses garam masala which I have, so let’s see what’s in garam masala and figure out how many tsp I need…that was for tikka masala for last Thanksgiving.
I got gout and so have been vegetarian for a year now, which forces me to be more creative in the kitchen. It’s hard to get as much protein as I want and I end up eating lots of eggs and tofu, which are tasty, but I need to branch out more.
My parents had me helping in the kitchen since I was five and I remember breaking a wooden spoon in the mixer at maybe seven or eight so yeah, pretty young. My mom used recipes but my dad mostly didn’t bother with them, so maybe that’s where I get it. Somewhere I have a book called The Flavor Bible which is really more of a flavor thesaurus, i.e. saying which flavors go with which. It gave me some interesting ideas, but it’s been in the garage since we moved a couple of years back. I should dig it out.
I use the Flavor Bible pretty often for ideas: we have broccoli, we have prosciutto…. anything tie them together?
While I often build a chimera as you do, I now & then try following recipes more closely if there’s an effect I want that I haven’t been able to just come up with on my own. For instance, yesterday I followed a recipe to the letter for a crispy-skinned salmon fillet, as last time I tried without a recipe the skin never got crispy and I was annoyed. And if I’m baking with new ingredients, follow a recipe; once I’ve gotten comfortable with the ingredient I feel freer to experiment.
I learned by following directions (my mother’s directions by phone after school, and then recipes) and then by living with college roommates from Hawaii, Florida, CA, New Jersey, etc of various ethnic backgrounds. I learned some key things about Indian and Chinese food by listening to my roommates’ mothers’ directions by phone after school now that I think about it :) We definitely aimed for dish-efficiency unless we were aiming for epic.
I’m like you. I have a list of things I can make without recipes, and I use as few pots as possible (my husband is your husband with this and it drives me NUTS). I do like trying new foods by using recipes, but I often modify them (usually to simplify, but sometimes to complicate when it seems bland). I’ve been enjoying cooking new dishes from recipes lately, just to find a few more things to add to our list.
I love new recipes. I think I get most of the excitement in my life from food. I can’t imagine eating the same thing every week, even though that would simplify things a lot.
So you mentioned empanadas above, which is a new one for us and seems very kid-friendly and budget friendly (modify with whatever ingredients arearound)—-do you make your dough or is it easy to find pre-made dough in your area (I can’t find it in our usual grocery stores). Making my own dough would nix this for me, I find the process tiring & tricky.
Prior to that, I would make them with grocery store pie dough. It is very odd that your grocery store doesn’t have it– back when I was growing up, storebrand pre-made pie dough was in the freezer section. Here it’s both in the freezer section and you can get unfrozen flats from Pillsbury near the milk/cheese section. (IIRC, Pillsbury gets an America’s Test Kitchen seal of approval for their pie dough.) Maybe ask someone at the grocery store if they’re hiding it someplace?
In terms of city groceries: I don’t think TJ’s carries it, but whole foods does.
I usually use a recipe when I am trying something new for the first time. After that, I pretty much think of it as a list of ingredients – which I write down because I can’t remember them. A lot of my recipe cards are just lists of ingredients of things I made once or twice off the internet and liked enough to make again. I do usually write amounts in the lists, but most of the time I don’t actually measure things when I’m cooking.
I started helping my mom and Grandma cook and bake when I was too small to remember. I do always measure when I bake!
I don’t usually measure wet ingredients because I hate having to wash the measuring utensils!
With some recipes I like measuring all the wet ingredients into a big Pyrex measuring thing and then using that as a mixing bowl if possible too. Works especially well for pancakes/waffles/cake batters/other pourables.
Yes – my mom used to do that. I really wish I had a 4- or 8-cup pyrex so I could do it, too. I should just buy them!
I don’t use cookbooks anymore, almost ever. I have subscribed to some cooking blogs for probably a decade and have saved and tagged recipes that appeal (some tags are: winter, meat, soup, potluck, tried & liked). I started this in the good old google reader days, and fortunately Feedly was the one blog reader that was able to accept imported tagged & saved articles.
So now if I feel like having soup, first I’ll check my saved & tagged recipes to see if anything appeals. If not, I’ll think about what I’m interested in eating and then I’ll search for a recipe, or several recipes. Sometimes I then use a recipe as a guide, or combine ideas from a few and wing it the rest of the way.
I have access to grocery stores with tons of great bulk bin options, so I’m able to get a few pinches of a specific spice for a quarter, which makes more-complexly-spiced recipes much more appealing.
We tend to do that with Penzey’s spice catalog recipes these days– collect them and then check them first.
Yes, I also love buying my spices from the bulk bins. For spices I use a lot, they’re cheap. And for spices I’m just trying out, I can get just the amount I need for the recipe.
I mostly cook without a recipe, but I have to have a recipe for chicken, fish and meat (exceptions: ground beef, bacon and sausage, and big hunks of pork or beef in the slow cooker) because during my formative learn-to-cook years (early 20s), I was too frugal to buy meat, and now I worry I am going to do something wrong, and lack the technical foundation I have with vegetarian cooking (where I’m comfortable winging curries, stirfrys, soups, stuffed veg, bean/rice dishes, sauces, etc).
I am always very excited when I get entire new techniques from recipes, but it takes repetition for it to stick. One is roasting cruciferous vegetables, which I didn’t start doing until about 5 years ago when it became the trendy thing on food blogs. That is what I’d do with a random head of broccoli. I read and enjoyed Tamar Adler’s An Everlasting Meal, which is a non-recipe how-to-cook book. I think the Food52 people (Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs) have a similar new book, but the excerpts I’ve read seem too uptight to me.
One of our baking cookbooks, Baking with Julia, recommends mastering base recipes and building on those. DH mastered the pie dough a few years back, which is why it has become one of our regular rotations.
There was a brief period of time when I was really learning to cook (after voluntarily downsizing myself with attendant huge pay cut) that I enjoyed trying out new things in the kitchen. But even then, I think it was mostly my “let’s make the best of this” approach. Eventually I realized that I was just making the best of things, while in truth the hassle and frustration (and, occasionally, expense) of trying new things far outweighed the pleasure.
The other person I feed is not very picky and I am even less so, will happily eat the same five things over and over again in order to reduce planning, shopping, cooking, and cleanup time.
So now I have a repertoire of simple preparations, mostly one-dish, of the sort where all prep ends up in the same place. I minimize tools and thus washing-up, because why wash more than I have to. There are tons of oven preparations that I simply never do because where we live now, the oven doesn’t work. After we move, I may roast/bake things again.
When I was living alone, I rarely used recipes and just made stuff up most of the time (very simple, pretty cheap, often things my mom made from memory as well). I cooked some with my mom when I was growing up, but not a lot – probably just enough to know my way around a kitchen pretty well, which is good enough! I mostly relied on easy to make things when I was a kid if I was on my own (mac & cheese, soup, etc.).
DH is much more recipe-oriented and we like to cook together, so we usually each pick out a few recipes for the week and decide together what the plan is. I’ve found that this tends to decrease the brainpower required to actually cook dinner, which has been really helpful in shifting the balance from take-out to cooking at home. I tend to minimize dishes and prep work, but that is less of a priority for DH. I happily let him chop vegetables since that’s my least favorite thing!
It helps that my MIL loves sending us books, so she’s found some great cookbooks for us that I wouldn’t have picked up otherwise. We have a few staple websites that we tend to frequent for ideas, and I’ve found Martha Stewart’s Meatless cookbook and another book called Cook Without a Book to be really solid for a vegetarian. We’ve been having fun with Mark Bittman’s Kitchen Matrix lately. His How to Cook Everything series is super helpful for anyone wanting to be able to wing in instead of using recipes.
When I’m by myself I don’t really cook at all. I live on tv dinners, microwaved potatoes, cereal, etc. Not very healthy at all.
With DH we do very much what you do, though we’re trying to get the kids more involved as well.
Autistic Youngest is an AVID cookbook collector. Used and new: she covets them all. She’s gotten used to the idea that I approach cooking much more by the seat of my pants. The recipe is mostly a suggestion, to my mind, although I hew more closely to many recipes for baking as opposed to cooking. I have to admit that the internet has really winnowed down the number of cookbooks I’ll consult. I have my recent Joy of Cooking (I sadly had to replace my thirty-year-old falling apart copy with the less-desirable update) and a few other volumes that I share with Youngest but otherwise, it’s seat of my pants or variations on a theme.
I don’t think I’ve ever done an actual recipe from Joy of Cooking, but it is a great reference for things like cooking times.
It’s interesting that comments above seem to show a preference for recipes in men and against in women or perhaps a preference for recipes in newer cooks and against in more experienced cooks.
I would say I have only a tiny repertoire of memorized baseline meals that can be modified, stuff like sandwiches, cereal (I mix healthy and sugary/tasty cereal together), omelets, shipwreck (scrambled eggs with stuff). Mostly, once I perfect a recipe, I keep using it as it is so that I always get good results. So I do that for things like spaghetti sauce, taco soup, and baked goods. I also know a bunch of subs that work in my pancake recipe, though I’m now working on an instant pancake recipe for when I just want a little snack instead of a huge batch.
I don’t like trying new recipes because they are usually disappointing. Nor do I really like eating all the results while perfecting a recipe (except chocolate bread) such as all those terrible tomato soups that had to be turned into spaghetti and all those very wrong chicken tikka masalas, though I do. However, I love-love-love when I perfect a new recipe (cheesecake! pancakes!). I love saving money and not having to be dependent on specific food companies or restaurants. And I love figuring out things like the minimum amount of an unhealthy ingredient I need to have in order to still love the dish. But then I hate when a perfected recipe stops working (pie crust) or being good (chili). So I do try new recipes about once or twice a month.
I use a shopping list to buy based on what I’m going to make, but at the store, I will also or instead buy things that are on sale for which I have a use. I also try to keep staples stocked, regardless of my specific plans.
I’m not sure my answers to your questions are based on how or when I learned to cook, but some of my other strategies definitely are. I learned by watching my Mom as a kid and adult, taking home ec in junior high, and cooking at camping trips with the Girl Scouts. So I do understand the lingo in recipes (which, teaching a boyfriend how to cook, I realized is quite whacky). I also greatly appreciate high quality cooking tools (like sharp knives instead of dull knives, cheese graters instead of dull knives, and stainless steel pans instead of aluminum). But my definition of high quality is normal people’s definition of mid-range or low quality (I still love my Revereware that my mom got me when I graduated from college).
While camping, I decided I preferred the system where the cooks also did the cleanup over the system where some people cooked and different people did the dishes. This is because when the cooks are cleaning, they are much more careful about the messes they make. Also, when you’re not cooking, it’s very relaxing. Unfortunately, my boyfriend has always had roommates who will gladly wash SO MANY DISHES because they love his cooking, so he is not well trained at all. (And I don’t like his cooking, but I promised to do all the dishes if he moved into my place because I have no dishwasher.) But I generally use only one bowl for baking, for example. First I mix the liquid ingredients in the bottom. Then I add the flour and other dry ingredients and kind of stir the dry ingredients around a bit before thoroughly stirring everything all together.
Another interesting thing I noticed: Most of my stovetop cooking involves stirring (chili, soup, sauces) where as most of my boyfriend’s does not (hunks of meat, omelettes), so it makes sense that he wants heavy pans with even heating and that I don’t care at all about that.
So in conclusion, I’m not really a good cook, but I can make lots of things that I like. That sounds like a contradiction. I’d say there’s very little I have a feel for in the kitchen. And I definitely can’t figure out most ingredients just by tasting the final product. But using recipes + experimentation has led to me being able to be happy with eating my own cooking.
I have Revereware too and love it. The pots are so nice.
We had Revereware for a while (it was my husband’s grandmother’s set), but the problem was that the bottoms of the pots weren’t flat, so they don’t really work on a glass-top stove. We bought a house last year with a very nice glass-top stove, so we let my MIL have the Revereware back.
cooking language is so specific! We started doing a recipe a week with the kid a couple years ago – though often during the school year he doesn’t have time, so it’s mostly a summer thing – and he’s got a kids cookbook where none of the recipes are that hard but he’s learning how recipes work, why the directions are in a certain order, and what things like sautee and dice mean.
I use some recipes but almost always adjust them. Actually, the most commonly used recipes are ones I’ve made up or adjusted and are sitting in a word doc on my computer. Things like chicken spinach enchiladas, creamed onions, etc. Even in baking, I make small adjustments. I’ve been baking from scratch since early high school (my friends and I loved to experiment) so have a pretty solid handle on what I can swap out and still have an edible product. I have this amazing vegan chocolate cake recipe from WWII that is so flexible it’s not even funny, so I mess with that a lot to make different flavors (like orange chocolate cake or cherry or whatever).
Recipes are used for inspiration or new ideas. Same deal with watching the food network and checking out what is combined. Or for when I’m making something I’ve never made before, but I’ll usually just follow the recipe one time.
We got a bunch of nice cookbooks for our wedding (not on the registry — just gifts). I love to look through for the pictures but have barely touched any of the recipes.
I think I’ve had that WWII vegan chocolate cake before!
I’m a recipe user. I do like to experiment and make up my own recipes, but then I keep notes so that I can replicate the same thing later. It might take me a few iterations to get my version how I like it, but once I do, I write it in the notebook I use for my own recipes and don’t vary much after that.
But I don’t really love cooking. I love baking, and so most of my processes are the ones that work best for baking. It is harder to adjust along the way in baking: once the thing is in the oven, you have few things you can do to rescue it. So once I figure out what works, I want to be sure I don’t forget! This also means that a lot of my favorite recipes in cookbooks have notes scribbled in them.
DH has done the iteration thing with chocolate chip cookies and several of his grandma’s recipes. I’ve always enjoyed his “failures”!
We love writing in our cookbooks. Even DC2 does it in one of hir children’s cookbooks.
Yes, notes are so great! I put whether I like it as is, what changes I’ve tried and what the results were.
I’m also at a place where I’m not using up food just because it was cheap today, but I’ve found that a lot of stuff is only good at the time of year it’s also cheap, because that’s when it’s ripe. So I mostly am still cooking for “what was available this week”.
I use a cookbook to make changes to how I cook and try new things. So a few years ago we got a pressure cooker and cooked our way through Lorna Sass’s Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure. Last year I got AfroVegan and am (slowly! The recipes in it are complicated & time consuming by my standards) trying new things out of it, and simplifying the ones we like down to stuff we’ll actually make regularly. A lot of what we eat is seasonal and I should go back to the recipe the first few times I make it in a year, because I don’t remember as well as I think I do and that means sometimes stuff I know well and like, I forget something important and it doesn’t taste as good as it should. But if I’ve made it a few times recently I don’t need the recipe even to glance at.
But in general I cook without a recipe and not all at once. It just feels like too big of a chore to do all the things for most recipes all at once, especially if they are different kinds of things (chopping and blanching and making a roux and baking something and frying something.) Like, if I were making pot pie it would be because we had leftover cooked chicken, and I would make pie crust one day and make enough to put a few balls in the freezer for other times, and on the day of I’d just make the gravy & roll out hte dough and put pre-cooked things into it. I make a sauce from AfroVegan that is supposed to be like half a cup, but I make it in a several-cup quantity (otherwise the measuring & chopping and having to wash the blender just isn’t worth it!) and then have a bunch in the freezer that I use up over time, either in the delicious recipe it’s for or in other stuff because it’s a great sauce. I made rice and beans yesterday and then ran out of time, so tonight I’ll fry plantains and fish and we’ll have it with rice and beans.
Also most recipes don’t use up their ingredients and it makes me crazy. I don’t want a half a bag of kale and 2/3 of a cabbage and half an onion in my fridge. So I make double on the sauteed kale and either we just eat that much, or I put half in the freezer for later. Or if i’m going to chop an onion, I either put it all in or put half in the freezer so I don’t have to chop onion next time.
This year we haven’t been very good at getting things out of the freezer after they’re in there. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to eat down a bit. But we still have stuff from Thanksgiving, and not just Turkey broth.
I gave away my chest freezer and living with the little freezer has made me way better about not hoarding food.
We don’t have a chest freezer for precisely that reason.
For some things, I follow recipes religiously (Grandma’s Borsch, where she told me to add vegetables in a certain order; pancakes; most types of baking). I do make some substitutions, but usually play it safe. If I am trying to make something totally new and exotic = I’ll definitely follow a recipe.
For other things – I sort of have a sense of what would work and what would not. Most soups, salads, meatballs, roasted vegetables, fish fall into this “open your mind” category. I experiment, I throw in whatever we have in the fridge, I feel confident that whatever I do – the meal will turn out great. It usually does.
I am definitely in the “base the next meal on whatever is already in the fridge/freezer” camp. That’s how I grew up :) I don’t like meal planning and find it much easier to buys “stock” stuff that can yield various combinations of meat, fish, grains, and vegetables for meals throughout the week.
Pantry cooking is awesome. We do both because at the end of the day I am not generally feeling creative about food so we keep a list of suggestions on the fridge.
I never learned to cook well so I start out with a strong reliance on recipes. I usually read at least five of them before I try a new recipe because I’m trying to simplify it to something that my hands / energy level can handle. When I get comfortable with the base recipe, I start to mess around with it, and that bugs PiC who liked it well enough the first time.
Did a big produce shop yesterday, picked up 2 broccoli crowns, 2 zucchini, 2 lbs of asparagus, 3 pounds of carrots, a thing of kale, and I have no idea what I intend to do with it except feed JuggerBaby more steamed broccoli for lunch.
mmmm stirfry. That’s my fav. No recipe for that for me, and I even make a homemade peanut sauce that is different every time. We love our stirfry around here. I do want to find more sauce ideas to use with it — as much as we love peanut sauce, it can get old.
Sweet and sour is a favorite around here (vinegar and a little sugar/honey/etc., though I shouldn’t be having sugar). DH makes one with soy sauce that’s pretty good out of one of the Help! My apartment has a kitchen books. And we’ll use TJ’s sauces in a bottle for red curry. I think we’ll be having a jar of tikka masala over veggies and rice.
I often make stirfry into pseudo bibimbap. After all the veggies are cooked, empty them into a bowl. In the same pan, fry an egg per person (or you can scramble, if you prefer). rice+veggies+egg on top, top as desired with mirin, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and furikake or seaweed flakes (“rice sprinkles” according to my 4-year-old). For best results, break the yolk and let it run down all over the rice and veggies.
Also, I LOVE asparagus and could eat it straight up. Snap the tails off, olive oil, coarse salt and pepper. Grill or spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet, roast at 375-400 degrees F until crisp-tender, devour and try not to burn your fingers too much.
@fizzchick: We never do anything more complicated than that with asparagus because it’s SO GOOD that way!
“How To Cook Without A Book” by Pam Anderson (not the actress!) in 2000. Teaches technique, with some “recipe” guidelines—I bought Amazon copies for each of my daughters to have when they set up their own households—gave up trying to find copies at used bookstores/thrift shops.
The one I came across wasn’t that one– it didn’t have such an obvious title (also: not Mark Bittman), which is why I can’t find it. But How to cook without a book is extremely popular! | 2019-04-19T09:21:28 | https://nicoleandmaggie.wordpress.com/2017/02/22/how-much-do-you-rely-on-recipes/ |

Smoking can really discolor your teeth, in fact smokers have a much higher rate of moderately and severely discolored teeth than non-smokers. Tobacco causes yellow stains which are difficult to take off with brushing alone. This is because the nicotine and tar in a cigarette works its way into the small openings in the enamel of your teeth. In order to keep your teeth white while smoking, you will need to be very proactive about teeth cleaning as well as working on eliminating staining that is already established.
Brush your teeth. Although this is important for everyone's dental health, tooth brushing is especially important for keeping a smoker's teeth white. Brush your teeth twice to three times a day, being sure to brush for at least two minutes each time. Use a whitening toothpaste if you would like to get an extra level of whitening action.
Smokers tend to have poorer oral health and a higher risk of periodontal disease, so it's important to focus on keeping your mouth healthy. In addition to reducing the risk of problems in your mouth, like gum disease, brushing will whiten your smile.
Consider using a special smoker's toothpaste. There are special toothpastes for smokers. These toothpastes contain more abrasive ingredients, such as baking soda or alumina than normal toothpastes. This helps to get at the tar and nicotine embedded in the teeth.
Use anti-tar mouthwash for smokers. There are specialty mouthwash products that are made to reduce the amount of tar and chemicals in your mouth after smoking. They are made to be used after each time you smoke.
Floss your teeth. It's important to floss your teeth before you sleep or after brushing. In addition to improving your general oral health, it will also help to remove nicotine and tar from your teeth. This will decrease the risk of staining in the areas between teeth.
Go to the dentist regularly. If you are a smoker you should schedule dentist appointments more often than if you didn't smoke. Consult with your dentist about how often he or she thinks you should come in.
Clean your teeth with baking soda. It may sound or taste weird, but for the sake of white teeth, you should try it. Brushing with baking soda will make a visible difference in the whiteness of your teeth.
Use a combination of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Just add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to baking soda until it creates a paste. Then use the paste as you would commercial toothpaste. The addition of hydrogen peroxide whitens your teeth even more than baking soda alone.
Use over-the-counter oral whitening products. The simplest to use is whitening toothpaste, as it can be used like normal toothpaste. However, there are a wide variety of other teeth whitening products. They usually come in the form of teeth whitening gels, strips, or bleaches that are applied with teeth trays. These products are very effective for getting rid of smoking stains.
Try products you have in your home for teeth whitening. There are a variety of natural products that are said to whiten teeth. These include banana peels, strawberries, and apple cider vinegar. You can even swish coconut oil around in your teeth.
Get a professional teeth whitening. This is a very effective way to get rid of stains. A cosmetic cleaning can get out more staining than your normal dental cleaning. This can be done between your regular dental cleanings, but should not be used as a replacement for them.
Quit smoking. This is the most effective way of eliminating staining from smoking but it is by no means the easiest. If you stop smoking, the staining caused by the nicotine and tar staining should fade over time.
Is it dangerous to my health to smoke 2-3 cigarettes a day?
Yes. It is not as harmful as smoking a pack a day, but any amount of smoking will be hazardous to your health.
What should I do if I want to quit smoking?
See your doctor or talk to your pharmacist. They can explain to you the ways to stop, and what medical aids might be available.
Will Medicaid cover prescriptions for quitting smoking?
Yes, it certainly does. There are a few options as well, such as patches, gum, lozenges, and nasal mist.
To keep your teeth white while smoking, try brushing your teeth with baking soda, which can make your teeth whiter and help counteract the effect that smoking has on them. You can also mix some hydrogen peroxide or mashed-up strawberries with the baking soda for even more whitening power. You should also try to brush your teeth right after you smoke so the tar doesn't sit on them and stain them. Also, consider using mouthwash and toothpaste designed specifically for smokers, which can help prevent staining.
"I am so glad that this plan worked, thanks a lot, I even realize that."
"Baking soda is very good, thanks. " | 2019-04-19T03:15:46 | https://m.wikihow.com/Keep-Teeth-White-While-Smoking |

In his fatherland Pavić was accepted in the best way from the very moment he published Dictionary of the Khazars. The first review of that „book of the future“ anticipated a lot of things critic will have later to say: „This wonder of a book is at one and the same time a novel, a collection of stories, a book of verse, a historical study, a cabalistic handbook, in short – absolute literature“ (Raša Livada).
Robert Coover, well-known American writer and Professor at Brown University (New York), in his text The End of Books (The New York Times, June 21,1992) which may be called programmatic in a specific way, as well as in his larger article entitled Hyperficion – Novels for the Computer (The New York Times, August 29,1993) speaks about a phenomenon which appeared in America inside post modernism and spread in Europe and Japan.

The Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation in conjunction with British Rock Guitarist Stuart Smith, who is coincidentally a Special Reserve Officer in the LAPD, is putting on a benefit rock concert to raise funds for the Foundation. The Memorial Foundation provides financial grants to officers in times of catastrophic need including death, illness and injury.

Continue the Best Actress discussion here in Part 6.
My gut right now is Aparicio, Close, Colman, Davis and Gaga.
This category is too exciting. I cant even say who will be nominated besides Colman. Not that everyone else is not deserving, it just seems like The Favorite is a film the Academy will go for.
A question mark for me is Emily Blunt. I just feel so bad for her that she has never been nominated; I am hoping that she’s great as Mary Poppins.
Melissa McCarthy – Can You…?
I bet if some of those Masterpiece Theatre productions were feature films eligible for Oscars, many of them would do well with certain members of the Academy. Hell, The King’s Speech wasn’t as good as some of those productions and it won Best Picture.
Close has yet to miss a precursor for a nod. She’s a freaking lock. | 2019-04-26T11:50:30 | https://www.goldderby.com/forum/movies/2019-best-actress-oscar-discussion-part-6/ |

As more data becomes available and the demand for better health and fitness information increases, it’s clear that a solid API strategy is needed to integrate these disparate sources while protecting sensitive data.
IT asset data that is complete, current across its lifecycle, accurate, and useful is required for running IT as a business. This is only possible when all the disparate data sources are brought together for a unified understanding on a single, rationalized basis. See the changing role of ITAM policy, process, technology, function, and its impact to your business with this white paper.
Companies today increasingly look for ways to house multiple disparate forms forms of data under the same roof, maintaining original integrity and attributes. Enter the Hadoop-based data lake. While a traditional on-premise data lake might address the immediate needs for scalability and flexibility, research suggests that it may fall short in supporting key aspects of the user experience. This Knowledge Brief investigates the impact of a data lake maintained in a cloud or hybrid infrastructure.

New, exciting and innovative: the southest community of Legacy is taking shape at the southern corner of Calgary. Situated just east of Macleod Trail on the city's southernmost boundary with the Municipal District of Foothills, Legacy is a 1,000 acre parcel of gently rolling land that will provide its residents with stunning mountain and valley views. When fully developed this thoughtfully planned community will retain almost 300 acres of protected natural environmental reserve, providing its residents with a pastoral setting unmatched in the city.
7,500 homes are planned when Legacy is completely built out, combining elegant homes, wilderness beauty & city convenience. Keep your eye on the developing community of Legacy, sure to become one of Calgary's most sought-after addresses.
View Legacy homes for sale, or read more about this evolving development in SE Calgary.
Legacy: Timeless Living - that's the theme of this extraordinary new community. The neighbourhood is being constructed around the concept of connectivity, where urban development and environmental sensitivity can successfully merge. In the early evolutionary phase, every detail of the Legacy community has been envisioned in advance.
One of the neighbourhood's most innovative ideas is the fact the community will features homes constructed by eight of Calgary's most distinctive builders, which include Albi, Avi, Excel, Jayman, Morrison, Sterling, Stepper and Trico.
Legacy homes will range from semi-detached properties to semi-estate upscale single family homes. Houses for virtually every stage of an individual's life, from just starting out to elegant retirement, can be fulfilled within the overall Legacy community.
Starting in the low $300s for the Foundation series homes, on up to Capstone properties starting in the $600s, Legacy will satisfy homebuyers at every milestone in their lives. Regardless of the home style, the project builders have ensured that each design blends in harmony with the low impact concept of the Legacy lifestyle.
Once the development is complete, Legacy residents will have access to the community's planned nature reserve and its 300 acres of pristine terrain. The neighbourhood will also incorporate more than 15 kilometers of interconnected walking paths and trails, allowing for peaceful walks away from the bustle of modern life. In close proximity to all of the services, amenities and recreational opportunities SE Calgary has to offer, Legacy will be conveniently close to Kananaskis Country and the unparalleled splendour of the Rocky Mountains.
Built around a pair of peaceful ponds, and along wide tree-lined streets, Legacy is expected to serve as the hub of development in that corner of the city. A full range of services, schools and businesses are anticipated in the coming years. Legacy will become just that for its residents, a gift to be cherished and passed along to future generations.
If you have any questions about real estate in Legacy, or any neighboring SE Calgary communities, please fill out our contact form, or call 403-703-2404 for assistance. | 2019-04-21T08:38:50 | http://www.jimsparrow.com/legacy.php |
The LR-Cal TLDMM is a microprocessor based digital pressure gauge, made of particularly high long-term stable analogue section and a 16 bit A/D converter which ensure 65,000 internal divisions. These features, together with a 0.05% accuracy class, make it ideal as a laboratory instrument: in fact, the LR-Cal TLDMM is proposed as a first line sample for Calibration Laboratories and is provided with an ACCREDIA certificate of calibration, traceable to international standard.
The pressure calibrator LR-Cal TLDMM has internal batteries with 1 year autonomy, also guaranteed by the Auto-Power-Off function, which activates if no measurement changes are detected in teh previous 30 minutes.
The user can select different engineering units (bar, mbar, psi, MPa, kPa), resolution and digital filter, suitable for measurements to be performed. In order to increase the level of integration among components, a combined (traditional and SMD) technology has been used, that makes this reference gauge more resistand against mechanical stresses and vibrations and guarantees maximum reliability for the circuit. The display also shows an analogue indication bar for pressure, that is still on, even in the programming menu.
A carrying case and an ACCREDIA calibration certificate are included in standard supply.
As an option, the LR-Cal TLDMM is available with a RS232 interface. A connection cable can be supplied on request, a simple software to read out the RS232 interface is available for free download. Furthermore, a build-in version for panel mounting and a version with mains power supply are available.
The LR-Cal TLDMM can be used with portable or bench type calibration pressure sources, like pressure test pumps LR-Cal LPP 40, LR-Cal LPP 60, LR-Cal LPP 700 and LR-Cal LPP 1000, as well as with LR-Cal LPP 60-T and LR-Cal LSP pressure comparators. | 2019-04-21T13:13:22 | https://lr-cal.net/en/pressurecalibration/pressure-calibrator/lr-cal-tldmm.html |

Just over 32 years ago, the garden at Upton Manor was nothing more than a jungle but amongst the undergrowth the new owners, John and Rosamund Wallinger, discovered the foundations of what was a very special garden, one that Gertrude Jekyll had designed in 1908 for Charles Holme, who was a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and founder of its flagship magazine, The Studio. Thereupon the Wallingers embarked on a voyage of discovery.
They found a full set of the garden plans in the Reef Point Collection at the University of California at Berkeley and recreated what they believe is the most complete and authentic of the four hundred gardens that Jekyll designed.
Ros Wallinger took us on a tour of the garden and explained the history of the restoration. The tour included the many features for which Jekyll is famous; sumptuous herbaceous borders filled with colour and delineated with immaculate hedging, arbours and a wild garden all within the purview of the Elizabethan manor.
We started with a tour of garden, by the garden owner, celebrated Australian garden designer and author, Marylyn Abbott. Marylyn had already established her reputation with her celebrated garden, Kinnerton Green, said to be Australia’s most visited garden and which was featured by Monty Don in his series, Extraordinary Gardens of the World.
The current gardens had been designed for the Playfair family in the early 20th century, with the Duchess of Wellington, living there, until her death in 1939. The garden itself had a huge overhaul and redesign after 1976, when Allastair Macalpine, art collector, aesthete and garden lover, and later Chairman of the Conservative Party, took occupation. Lord Macalpine, commissioned the classical architect Quinlan Terry, to help design many classical additions, follies and features in the garden in the 14 years he lived there.
The gardens combine neo-classical style with the contemporary. The walled garden has been faithfully restored. Fruit cages, flowers and vegetables are divided from an elaborate potager by an extensive alee of apple trees.
Beyond is the Lakefield, which contains one of England’s most eclectic collections of garden follies. A path leads from the lake to the Paradise Water Garden, the contemporary garden, the Garden of the Five Bridges and thence the Theatre Lawn. (There is an annual summer Opera season held here as well).
Throughout, the contribution of topiary is plainly evident, providing structure to the planting and other schemes. An endorsement of Marylyn Abbott’s design skills with topiary was the award of a silver-gilt medal for her Topiarist’s Garden at Chelsea in 2014. She has since created a new garden at West Green, based on the Chelsea design.
A delightful lunch of soup and sandwiches was served surrounded by plants in the green houses.
Designed by the owner, John Coke in collaboration with Piet Oudolf, the renowned Dutch garden designer, nurseryman and author. Piet is a leading figure of the “New Perennial” movement, using bold drifts of herbaceous perennials and grasses which are chosen at least as much for their structure as for their flower colour.
EBTS visited Oudolf’s own gardens, Hummelo, in the Netherlands, with their wonderful use of topiarised hedges, tunnels and shapes as backdrops, to his use of perennial grasses.
At Bury Court, we saw how they have incorporated four large yew topiaries of organic abstract sculptural design, a massive perfectly clipped box half dome and a knot garden. The lawn shapes were pleasingly organic and interwoven with bedding of Oudolf grasses of contrasting colours and textures. There was also a circular gazebo shape of clipped weeping pear, Pyrus Salicifolia. Oudolf initially successfully experimented with Pryrus Salifolia at Hummelo as a topiary plant, where he clipped and train specimens into tall square columns as a foil against a wavy hedge in the background.
Designed by renowned international landscape designer, Christopher Bradley-Hole and located alongside Bury Court house.
It’s a simple geometric contemporary garden space, with squared off beds, with the design based on a grid pattern with rusted steel edging. Each grid is filled with flowering perennials and at the centre there was a small modern wooden pavilion set by a tranquil pool. The Front Garden is a contrast with the Courtyard garden, with its gentle organic simplicity.
Christopher Bradley Hole is author of ‘Making the Modern Garden’ and ‘The Minimalist Garden’, winner of several Chelsea Gold medals, and many national and international commissions. His 2004 Hortus Conclusus was best in Show in 2004 at Chelsea.
Colemore House garden is in unspoilt countryside and the owner, Simon de Zoete, led us around the four acres of many unusual plants, a spectacular arched rose walk, water rill, mirror pond, arboretum and borders of flowers of great diversity. The main gardens comprised a series of rooms all surrounded by beautifully clipped and maintained yew or box hedges.
Simon emphasised that the garden is very much a personal and private garden and one that is in continual development. EBTS was able to assist with identifying the name of one of the boxwood plants that had eluded both the owner and head gardener.
After a delightful tea and cake around the pool it was time to head home with some great ideas for our own gardens having seen such a wide range of styles and designs during the day.
EBTS UK would like to thanks to all the garden owners for allowing us to enjoy their wonderful gardens and for being such hospitable hosts. | 2019-04-23T16:06:44 | https://www.ebts.org/2018/06/hampshire-happiness/ |

New research sponsored by the Department of Energy shows that buyers are willing to pay more for homes with rooftop solar panels — a finding that may strengthen the case for factoring the value of sustainable features into home appraisals.
The study, conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, examined sales data for almost 23,000 homes in eight states from 2002 to 2013. About 4,000 of the homes had solar photovoltaic systems, all of them owned (as opposed to being financed through a lease with the solar company).
Researchers found that buyers were willing to pay a premium of $15,000 for a home with the average-size solar photovoltaic system (3.6 kilowatts, or 3,600 watts), compared with a similar home without one. Put another way, that translates to about four additional dollars per watt of solar power.

US author George Saunders became only the second American writer to win Britain’s renowned Man Booker Prize, which was awarded for his first full-length novel Lincoln in the Bardo.
Judges for the prestigious English-language literary award praised as “utterly original” the book that chronicles the death of Abraham Lincoln’s 11-year-old son Willie using the accounts of hundreds of narrators.
This year’s Man Booker Prize shortlist pitted three US and three British writers against one another. The award, launched in 1969, was only open to writers from Commonwealth states until it began permitting authors from other English-speaking countries in 2014.
Last year Paul Beatty became the first American to win the award for his novel The Sellout. Saunders was the British bookmakers’ favourite ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. In a lengthy and varied writing career, he has penned award-winning short story collections, essays, illustrated fables and a bestselling children’s book, as well as many pieces of journalism. | 2019-04-20T14:41:05 | http://www.bcompetitive.in/george-saunders-wins-2017-man-booker-prize/ |
I think this YoTube video demonstrates how to groom a Havanese dog the right way as well as how to cut Havanese hair. Not only that it also shows how to do it with maximize comfort for you as well as the dog.
Clipping faces, in particular around the eyes, is always tricky. This video provides a good demo of grooming Havanese face hair as well as how to groom the back, belly, tail and paws.
You can see from the video that the groomer suggests a full groom every 2 to 3 months. You just need to look past the ads in the video to see how valuable the content is.
This little Havanese is a sheer delight to watch, so affectionate but most importantly absolutely at ease with being clipped. Well, at least until it came to nail clipping and I don’t know any dog that is entirely okay about having their toe nails trimmed. But the groomer manages this task as well as the other grooming tasks. She uses a harness which keeps the dog in position without adding to any discomfort whatsoever.
how to keep Havanese hair from matting in particular the ears.
This little Havanese boy dog looks truly handsome by the end of his clipping and grooming.
I’m sure you would agree that having a harness makes all the difference. The groomer in the video would not have been able to keep her doggy client relatively still for the length of the session without it.
Used blunt clippers won’t “cut it” when it comes to managing nail clipping. Make sure you have a good quality pair.
The type of grooming table you choose will depend on whether you are simply doing your own grooming at home or managing a busy dog grooming salon professionally. If the former, you can find a selection here that might offer what you are looking for.
This video shows a groomer working (in silence) with the cutest of little puppies. I’m sure you will agree the end result is ever so handsome.
Until next time, have fun with your gorgeous Havanese dog, adult or puppy. | 2019-04-23T02:25:36 | https://www.doggroomingcoursesonline.com/havanese-tips/ |
We had the privilege of being the first to try on a pair of Caymans – proto-Crocs, as it were – and then to launch them in Germany. After being a great hit in the United States, the colourful rubber sandals initially got off to rather a sluggish start in Germany. German retailers were not at all convinced that they’d be able to sell such totally new sandals.
We therefore launched a B2B PR campaign, with Crocs CEO Ron Snyder coming to a press conference in Germany and talking about the brand’s global success. All the fashion and footwear media presented the phenomenon on at least one page, convincing retailers that the new sandals might be worth a try. To promote their sales, we also placed photographs of Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and other world stars in the German media, wearing Crocs. This created its own momentum, when the popular press began to celebrate the new trendy sandals, Harald Schmidt made fun of them, and we produced a “Making of Crocs” together with Galileo.
Quite soon Germany was divided about Crocs, and people either loved or hated them. But it was no longer possible to ignore them. For the next three years we functioned as the European lead agency, and we are proud to say that there still hasn’t been a footwear brand anywhere in the world that became a global player within such a short period of time. | 2019-04-23T23:49:42 | https://www.karkalis-communications.com/en/cases/a-pair-of-sandals-conquers-the-world/ |
In a letter to the editor entitled "None is Less" published in The American Spectator, Christopher Orlet writes about friends in his hometown of Saint Louis who purchased a demolished a Harris Armstrong designed Prairie Style home in Ladue to build their "dream home / starter home". The house was much larger and up-to-date than suggested in Orlet comments. (I'll post a piece I wrote at the time of it's demolition). In it's place, a superficially faux-Tudor home was placed. This loss was a tragedy for Saint Louis modernism.
Here are some views of the Stuebner House of 1939 designed by important modernist architect Harris Armstrong. The color photograph of the exterior was taken in 1992 by the author prior to its demolition.
The black and white views that follows were part of a series of photographs commissioned by Armstrong following the house's completion.
Within a few years of having constructed their multi-story picturesque high-cost builder home, did they move on to affecting the destruction of an even more significant work of International Style modernism in Saint Louis, the Morton May House by architect Samuel Marx.
With only some exaggeration, the article remarks, "If the Williams' live long enough, they could conceivably demolish every Modernist masterpiece in St. Louis." Provided the support of many of other homeowner-developers, they could very well contribute to such tragic fate.
Although the current credit crunch and economic crisis is hitting real estate hard, it's unclear how these circumstance will effect high-quality modernist works of cultural and aesthetic value. There's a danger that falling property values will only accelerate the process of destruction. Disturbingly, home builders have learned that a "virgin" site is typically more marketable for those seeking to build multi-million dollar McMansions. So the destruction of these works continues apace even in the absense of a buyer. | 2019-04-25T03:50:13 | http://andrewraimist.com/2008/ |
We all need some rest and relaxation from time to time, and what better way to do this than visiting a spa? With the busy schedules most people have these days, it can be difficult to find time for yourself. Modern day life can take a toll on a lot of people, and we often forget how much of an impact a high pressure life can have on our mental and physical well being. According to research carried out in 2018, 85% of UK adults are experiencing stress on a regular basis, and 54% of people who are stressed worry about the impact this is having on their health. Evidently, it is more important than ever to make sure we remember to take a break from the stresses of day to day life when we need to.
An effective way you can take a well needed short break is to visit a local spa. Over the years, more and more people have opened up to the idea of using a spa break as a way of pausing their exhausting daily routine and recharge themselves. There are so many mental and physical health benefits of massage and spa treatments.
Good For Your Mental Health – It’s no secret that a spa day can reduce stress levels, but a lot of spas these days have meditation rooms. A quiet, relaxing room to give you the opportunity to meditate your worries away and to reflect on life. With the use of powerful essential oils, aromatherapy massages can also have a positive effect on your mindset and mental wellbeing.
Detox Your Body- The steam in the sauna/steam rooms helps you to sweat out toxins and a massage helps your lymphatic system to flush toxins from your body. Facials and skin treatments also draw out impurities and toxins from your skin and can contribute towards a healthy, glowing complexion.
Better, Deeper Sleep – The more you can relax during the day, the better you’ll sleep at night. Massages and other spa treatments can push you into the ultimate state of relaxation and help you fall asleep faster at night and also ensure you get better quality of sleep.
Muscle and Joint Pain Relief – A good massage can take away aches and pains and help with joint pain conditions like arthritis. Modern sports massage techniques not only relax and recover your muscles, but also help you recover from joint injuries and disorders such as arthritis.
Relaxing once in a while can truly be the best thing for your mind, body and spirit. | 2019-04-21T12:21:30 | https://beyondstorage.co.uk/blog/health-benefits-of-spas/ |

Along with the 10 racers on the starting grid, there are three modes to choose from. Smack Attack is just a free-for-all where the first contestant to meet the required number of hits wins, but it’s still Cel Damage HD’s purest setup. Flag Rally is basically ‘Capture the Flag’, except all the flags are running about on their own respective pair of legs and need to be dropped off in a special area to ‘bank’ them. Gate Relay is the poorest of the three, with its basic racing formula falling apart mostly due to the sloppy handling model. There are 13 arenas to choose from, and 10 characters to play with, but with only three modes Cel Damage HD is still frustratingly bare almost 18 years on.
It’s easy to make the argument that Cel Damage would have a much greater chance at success with the introduction of online multiplayer – something this writer has made the case for in regards to similar ports in the past – but online servers aren’t going to elevate this game any more than its local options. This is the kind of game that works best when played in the same room as your friends, laughing out loud as you smash a mate into a croc-infested swamp while swinging a giant baseball bat. With support for up to four players, this Switch version is already a significant step up from the version that appeared on Vita many years ago. It’s just a shame this long-in-the-tooth local multiplayer affair lacks anything new to make its Switch port stand out in a very dense crowd.
Cel Damage HD isn’t going to rocket to the top of the eShop charts and become the kind of unit-selling monster that publishers only dream of, but that doesn’t mean it should be passed up if you’re a brand new player. As a local multiplayer affair, its vehicular combat is bombastic and silly in a way that makes for countless rewarding matches. It’s still too easy to unlock every new weapon and arena in a couple of hours, but with full support for four-player multiplayer, this cartoonish caper finally gets the handheld iteration it deserved all along. | 2019-04-24T06:13:25 | https://www.gamer-portal.com/cel-damage-hd-review-switch-eshop/ |
Scope As additive manufacturing (AM) is adopted into increasingly demanding applications, a rigorous understanding of processing variations and the methods for quality assurance must also advance. Strenuous application environments create a need for a deep understanding of the AM process and material quality. In AM, the material is built at the same time as the component. This establishes the need for techniques which can help identify and understand the formation of inherent defects and process anomalies during fabrication.
In-situ techniques are increasingly advancing to meet this demand. Laboratory scale in-situ measurements can provide great insight into the complicated phenomena occurring in AM, and in-situ signatures are being identified which can locate, and potentially eliminate, defects and other anomalies in AM parts.
The purpose of this symposium is to review and discuss existing and emerging in-situ technologies used to expose process phenomenon, detect material quality, and control process variation. Applicable topics for this symposium include in-situ monitoring and control techniques from laboratory scale research to industrial-scale implementation. | 2019-04-21T06:16:34 | http://www.programmaster.org/PM/PM.nsf/UpcomingSymposia/7F3AF6A1E64970E2852583930065E873?OpenDocument&ParentUNID=C5A3995985DE9638852580B400733949 |

As it is written in God’s Word, “all you have to do is believe“. There are numerous instances of this specific word or one which has the word “believe” in it such as “Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness“. Why do I bring this word up again on this site? Because it is needed and necessary for all who are looking for and seeking Jesus to believe in Him, not that He existed but believe in Him for salvation!
Even the demons and Satan know about Jesus and that He is the Son of God. But knowing about Him and believing that He existed doesn’t bring salvation. Consider this: if someone told you that you had been given one million dollars and that it was available to you, would you believe them just by their word or would you have to see it and know that it was there? Take that a bit further. You know it is there and it is yours but you never claim it, is it doing you any good at all? Not even a little bit.
That is the same place that many people today are in concerning their salvation. They have heard a sermon telling them that it is available and that it is free to claim. All they have to do is believe that it is theirs and claim it by asking Jesus for their forgiveness and that He should come into their lives and make them whole. The problem is that even though many know that salvation is available to them just as easy as the million dollars in the previous paragraph, given a choice they would rather have the money.
Because, in the world that we live in, money is immediate and useful. Salvation only means something to you if you are looking toward eternity rather than just looking at tomorrow. The problem with this type of thinking is just like the prodigal son, once the money is gone you are worse off than you were before. Money is like your life. It is a puff of smoke and it is gone in an instant of time but salvation takes you to an eternal home where life never ends and it only gets better.
Consider that and seek out the One Who can provide you with salvation and an eternal home too.
Make sure where you will spend it.

As parents, we are constantly being put in the position to say “no” to our children –and for good reason! “Can I have cake for dinner?”, “can I paint on the wall?”, “can I have (another) toy car?”. Those requests call for an automatic and definitive “No!”. Or do they? There can be more options than simply saying no to your child, options that are just as clear, but also show that you hear what she’s saying, and understand why she wants what she wants.
In Part 1 of this article we said that exposing your child to music from an early age has a positive effect on his social and emotional abilities in the future.
Findings of a study point out how children respond to music with joy and how this facilitates their expression and learning. Listening and singing about feelings also help toddlers identify the words that correspond to certain emotions. Clapping and singing to the song “If you’re happy and you know it” evokes feelings, even when there are no lyrics to the music. Studies examining 3-9 months babies show that, even at that age, babies can discriminate between happy and sad music and how this fosters social and communicative development. As music enables different emotions, it also provides the opportunity for children to be in touch with their feelings and, later, with the feelings of others.
Did you know that 1 of every 10 babies around the world is born preterm?
Researchers around the world dedicate their lives to find non-pharmacological early intervention methods, such as kangaroo care and music therapy, with the single goal of helping early development and minimize the adverse short- and long-term consequences of prematurity.
Music has long been recognized as an effective form of therapy that provides positive health benefits. Several studies have shown the effects music has on mental health. It reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol, it’s even been found more effective than prescription drugs in reducing the anxiety of patients before surgery. Furthermore, researchers found that listening to or playing music increases the body’s production of the antibody immunoglobulin A and natural killer cells. This type of cells attacks invading viruses and boost the immune system’s effectiveness.
Play is an essential part of your child’s development. Here’s where he learns how the world works, develops relationships, and builds the skills he’ll need for everyday activities. An important part of this stage involves your little one learning how to explore and play by himself. Learning this provides him with opportunities to understand how objects work, be creative, foster his self-esteem, and get motivated to take on future challenges. As little as 9-10 months you can encourage your child to play alone while you remain nearby. How?
Around this time, you might notice that your little one gets a bit frustrated or fussy when he tries to express himself and fails. Your baby will enter a range of months in which what he understands and wants to say has not caught up yet to what he’s capable of saying; particularly between 8-24 months of age. That’s why, at the beginning, gestures and imitating will become vital. He’ll watch closely for your cues and try to imitate the words you say, as well as learning how to seek your attention or help. Crying might be the first option, and it’s totally understandable since he can’t put into words what he wants and that is frustrating.
We’ve previously discussed how your little one starts communicating through gestures since he’s around 5 months and how different types of gestures impact his learning process. We’ve also mentioned the discovery of how preschoolers use gestures to better understand a situation and how this correlates to their efficacy when doing a task. Here we’ll briefly talk about gestures and how they impact children’s problem-solving skills.
Around this time, you’ll notice that your child is starting to understand simple concepts like the difference between big and small. As you continue to foster his cognitive development, you’ll see how he starts understanding numbers, spatial prepositions, and makes mental representations of an object. You might notice that he even understands a lot more words than he can say. It’s been demonstrated that adults and children express their cognitive understanding through gestures before they are able to put it into words, especially when learning something new. | 2019-04-19T18:13:43 | https://blog.kinedu.com/ |
The Czech Telecommunication Office (Cesky telekomunikacni urad, CTU) has announced that four companies – two existing cellcos and two new entrants – have been awarded spectrum in the 3.7GHz band (3600MHz-3800MHz) following an auction process that began on 13 June. In a release, the CTU confirmed that frequency blocks for ultra-high speed wireless data networks and future building of fifth-generation networks will be allocated to incumbent operators O2 Czech Republic and Vodafone Czech Republic, along with new entrants Nordic Telecom 5G and PODA. The regulator also confirmed that Deutsche Telekom-controlled T-Mobile CR and the other would-be newcomer Suntel Net failed to win any blocks.
In total, the spectrum auction generated revenue of CZK1.015 billion (USD44.4 million) for state coffers, with the CTU selling off a total of five 40MHz blocks of frequencies, priced at CZK203 million each; the reserve price was set at CZK145 million per block. Nordic Telecom 5G won two blocks, and the other winners took one each. The CTU will release the frequencies immediately after the bidders make their payment. | 2019-04-24T12:16:49 | https://www.telegeography.com/products/commsupdate/articles/2017/07/12/czech-regulator-awards-3-7ghz-spectrum-to-o2-vodafone-nordic-and-poda/ |

You know, after the past few weeks – and somehow falling behind again in my reviews – it’s nice to actually have a new Hot 100 that’s actually fairly lightweight in terms of new songs, most of which I’ve already heard before in some capacity. It’s one of the breather moments you get as summer starts to settle into gear and the album release schedule eases back a bit, at least for the pop charts.
Case in point? Look at our top 10, where ‘See You Again’ by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth reigns for another week at the top, even as the airplay gains finally seemed to have peaked, with it only holding dominance there and on YouTube. It’ll be interesting to see what eventually rises to replace it for the second time around, so let’s look at its closest competition ‘Bad Blood’ by Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar. It’s holding #2 right now thanks to solid sales, YouTube, and consistently strong airplay gains – it’s probably the most likely candidate as the airplay gains aren’t slowing. Beneath it we have our streaming leader with ‘Trap Queen’ by Fetty Wap, which looks to be a slightly more unstable position, because despite a good sales week and even some YouTube gains, airplay started dropping this week. A similar case for ‘Shut Up And Dance’ by Walk The Moon – yes, good sales week, but no YouTube, streaming losses, and a shaky airplay week means that this admittedly excellent song might be in trouble coming soon. Especially against the competition led by ‘Want To Want Me’ by Jason Derulo rising to #5, which despite only good sales had a very solid airplay week and picked up streaming, likely off the back of his album dropping last week and being better than expected. It was enough to push ‘Uptown Funk’ by Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars back a peg to #6, which lost across the board except in YouTube, where it holds consistently and is probably the reason it’s still where it is. ‘Earned It’ by The Weeknd, however, doesn’t have that luck, as it hemorrhaged airplay en masse and took a hit in streaming to fall to #7. It still had enough to hold against ‘Hey Mama’ by David Guetta, Bebe Rexha, Nicki Minaj and Afrojack at #8, mostly thanks to a surprise softening in airplay gains, only decent sales, and actually a loss in on-demand streaming as it gained in YouTube, but not enough. This leads us to our new Top Ten entry: ‘Honey I’m Good’ by Andy Grammer rising to #9. To say that I’m a little astounded this is here is understating it, mostly because it’s the sort of song that’s so goddamn corny in terms of refusing the opportunity to cheat, but it is catchy as hell, which likely led to its excellent sales week and steadily rising airplay – nothing on streaming or YouTube, but given the annoying as hell video and the song’s overall sound, I’m not at all surprised. Finally we have ‘Sugar’ by Maroon 5 somehow holding on at #10 – it’s here thanks to YouTube and whatever residual airplay it’s got left, because streaming took another hit and sales at this point aren’t even worth mentioning – and considering some of the songs coming up behind it, I can’t see it lasting.
But before we get to those, let’s talk first about our losers and drop-outs. Sadly, we lost some pretty decent songs from the charts this week – ‘Homegrown’ by the Zac Brown Band losing naturally, and ‘I Bet’ by Ciara, ‘Raise Em Up’ by Keith Urban and Eric Church, and ‘King Kunta’ by Kendrick Lamar gone before their time. Outside of that, ‘All About That Bass’ by Meghan Trainor is finally off the charts, along with ‘Heartbeat Song’ which exited naturally. And a few of our big losers follow a similar pattern: ‘Chains’ by Nick Jonas dropping to 43 and ‘FourFiveSeconds’ by Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney are on their way out naturally, and ‘Flashlight’ by Jessie J going to 74 and ‘All Day’ by Kanye West, Theophilius London, Allan Kingdom and Paul McCartney falling to 91 feel a little premature. And of course ‘L$D’ and ‘Electric Body’ by A$AP Rocky, the latter featuring Schoolboy Q, fell to 84 and 97 – natural reaction after an initial debut. The one drop this week that did surprise me was ‘Smoke’ by A Thousand Horses sliding to 59 – you’d think given the debut album just dropped it’d get a bit of a boost, but apparently not. The one drop that really pleased me was ‘Nasty’ by Bandit Gang Marco dropping hard to 82 – apparently the charts can only tolerate one terrible song named ‘nasty’ at a time, and thank god for that.
No, the gains is where things got more interesting this week, mostly because they’re a fair bit harder to explain. I mean, as much as I think ‘Classic Man’ by Jidenna ft. Roman GianArthur or ‘Photograph’ by Ed Sheeran aren’t good songs, their rises to 62 and 42 make sense, as Ed Sheeran can easily notch hits and Jidenna can rip off previous ones. The country charts also decided to give ‘Buy Me A Boat’ by Chris Janson a boost to 81 and ‘Loving You Easy’ by Zac Brown Band to 75 – the former because it’s an easy song that panders to fishing culture which gets a boost in the summer and the latter because… well, actually I have no idea, because there’s no way in hell it should be on country radio. In fact, we got all sorts of surprises, because ‘Fight Song’ by Rachel Platten got another boost to 25 – I mean, do we really need another pseudo-inspirational power ballad, I thought that was the reason that ‘Flashlight’ is tanking. And finally, ‘I Really Like You’ by Carly Rae Jepsen bounces to 60 – not all that surprising, really – people probably remember how successful ‘Call Me Maybe’ was over the summer of 2012, so why not go for a repeat? And the thing is that the song actually has grown on me a bit, even despite the chorus being clumsy in the worst way, so much so that I might actually review her upcoming album if I can find the time, which is saying something.
But now we've got a pretty small list of new arrivals, so let's start with our solitary returning entry!
I didn't have a huge amount to say about this song when I first covered it, but I think it has grown on me a bit since then. I'm still not the biggest fan of the Arabian-inspired synth choice that opens the first verse, but when you get past that it's one of DJ Snake's most propulsive and aggressively fun dance tracks, even despite the ridiculous pitch shifted vocals, mostly because it's got such a grip on the crescendos and melodic progressions, and those shrieks that punctuate the song add a lot to the dusty trap style. Honestly, it's sitting around what 'Turn Down For What' was for me, minus Lil Jon but featuring a thicker and more developed melodic progression that does work a fair bit better. In other words, yeah, I dig this.
99. 'Hell Of A Night' by Dustin Lynch - really, Dustin, you had to release this as your next single and not 'Halo' or 'To The Sky'? On the one hand, I'm not surprised - if you're looking for more of a rock side of bro-country, this song isn't terrible, mostly because Dustin anchors it in a solid melodic riff with enough of a melody to support it, and for a straightforward country rock track, Lynch has the right voice to back it up. And yeah, it helps that it's nowhere near as clunky and overmixed as most bro-country is, even if I do the vocal echo isn't needed. But this songs suffers in my mind for two reasons, the first being that the lyrics are absolutely nothing worth caring about, the sort of interchangeable mush I've heard dozens of times. And secondly... dude, 'To The Sky' sounds like a Poets Of The Fall-track, and that would be amazing to hear on the radio... but therein lies the problem, in that Dustin Lynch is arguably a country act, and that song would belong on rock radio, which means you'd never see it on the charts. But putting that aside... folks, I already forgot this song exists, go check out 'To The Sky', that song is awesome.
96. 'Hood Go Crazy' by Tech N9ne ft. 2 Chainz & B.o.B. - it's weird seeing Tech N9ne on the radio. Not just because he's the sort of ridiculously skilled technical rapper that could run circles around everyone, but because even on more of his party bangers, he's a cult artist. Nothing wrong with that - I'm not the biggest Tech N9ne fan, mostly because his content and production aren't always on the same level as his skill, but I respect the hell out of him. And yet, seeing him on the charts with B.o.B. only covering the hook - a bad sign how far his stock has fallen - and 2 Chainz on this sort of track is jarring as hell. Now here's the thing: Tech N9ne sounds great on this song in terms of charisma and flow, at least when he sounds like he's awake, because half his bars feel lethargic to the point of laziness. 2 Chainz says nothing remotely worthwhile and that pimple line was gross, but in terms of technical ability he did step up, but what a complete waste of B.o.B. - the guy used to have a flow like Andre 3000, and this is all you let him do? Now I know what you're thinking - in comparison with most people who do this sort of material, Tech N9ne is so obviously better that I'd give this a pass, even though by his standards you can tell he's barely trying. But with production that's really nothing special and the fact I know Tech can do better, I have a hard time giving this a pass. And for those of you who say you can't have crowd pleasing bangers and hooks and incredible lyricism at the same time... look up Doomtree, and get back to me.
92. 'Everyday' by A$AP Rocky ft. Rod Stewart, Miguel & Mark Ronson - as much as I dug the hell out of 'L$D', 'Everyday' was a close second, and nearly all of it was wrapped up in the hook and production. The pairing of Rod Stewart and Miguel on the hook is inspired, and I love the organ backdrop paired with some incredibly solid drums, and that first beat change-up is great. And yeah, A$AP Rocky's flow on this song is impressive - the problem is everything he says. He doesn't really have many punchlines, his bars are just empty bragging, and his obsession with trying to get lesbians to sleep with him just gets grating, no matter how self-deprecating he gets. Again, the hook and production redeems a lot, but I don't love this, and the outro just kills the momentum for me. Overall a damn good track, but I wish A$AP Rocky had more to say to make it a great one.
85. 'House Party' by Sam Hunt - I don't want to say it, but I will be honest - putting aside 'Cop Car', which Keith Urban did first and did it amazingly well to boot, this is probably Sam Hunt's best song. It doesn't belong anywhere near country radio, and the fact that it'll get more play over far more deserving artists is infuriating, but that's not Sam Hunt's fault, but really of radio programmers who say nonsense like 'they shouldn't play women on country radio', calling them the tomatoes in a salad which I don't have the time or patience to discuss today. But by the standards of Sam Hunt songs, it's still not good, mostly because the banjo carrying any sort of melody is drowned out by the percussion and it and the guitar sound clunky as hell, especially against the too-slick by half cymbals. But I think the reason this track doesn't bother me as much is that it's too stupid to hate. What I disliked about other Sam Hunt tracks was the obnoxiousness that being too slick by half didn't help - in other words, the same reason Maroon 5 can piss me off so much. But this is a clunky sing-along for drunk fratboys and it at least gets that. It's not getting a pass from me, but I don't hate it either.
58. 'Ulay Oh' by How I Became The Bomb - of all the tracks that showed up on the charts this week, this is the biggest surprise, and by far the most interesting. Not because of the music itself, but the story behind it, which ties into noted performance artist Marina Abramovich and her long-time lover Ulay. The story goes that the two had been involved intimately for years until when they broke up, they walked the entire length of the Great Wall of China to meet in the middle for one final embrace. They didn't see each other again until Abramovich released The Artist Is Present, a performance art piece where the audience was confronted with Marina's presence, designed to show how one responds when placed in direct contact with the artist. It's intimidating, as Marina's implacable presence is pretty potent - until on opening night, Ulay returns and sat opposite her, one of the few that could pierce Marina's steely exterior and drive a response, the first time she had seen him in years. On a conceptual level, it's powerful as hell, showing how those we have loved have touched something so deeply within us that the artist naturally responds, as those memories never really fade. Anyway, the reason the song is here is because a video snippet of that piece went viral on YouTube, and for good reason, it's incredibly powerful, especially considering there is no dialogue and Abramovich and Ulay convey the entire piece across the table, and you can tell how it sliced through her perfect poise. I say all this because I'm not sure how much the song holds up away the video, seeing that interaction. It's incredibly well-written and does a lot to tell that story, but the pitch correction on the vocals is a little much and the synths don't really do a lot to drive the song until the thicker low-end came in. As a track, damn solid, a great novelty, but like most other viral hits, I don't really see this sticking around.
47. 'Phenomenal' by Eminem - ...really? Em, didn't you already make with 'Cinderella Man' which was a much better boxing anthem, or any other half dozen pseudo-inspirational anthems that you've cranked out over the past few years? One of the things I've realized over the past few years is that while Relapse continues to rise in value as an underappreciated gem, Recovery keeps falling further and further in my eyes, and Eminem returning to that well yet again with 'Phenomenal' might just be one of this worst efforts to date and clear he's running out of ideas. Forget the fact that his low-key singing is completely gutless and that whoever he sampled for the bridge sounds terrible, and that the production is so ponderous and heavy that it doesn't have any of the power to really pump you up, who really disappoints me is Eminem himself. Yeah, his writing is still good, but he's slipping off the beat and from Em, that's sloppiness. The bigger problem is that the lyricism is nothing special or interesting or colourful, and the punchlines have so little flavour or character. It's the worst possible thing for an Eminem track in that it's boring as tar, and Em shouting 'phenomenal' is insufferable.
So yeah, in a change of pace, Eminem is walking away with the worst of the week, with the Dishonourable Mention going to 'House Party' by Sam Hunt - just because it's his best song doesn't make it good. And as for the best of the week... hard to pick a standout, but I think I'll give it to 'Ulay Oh' by How I Became The Bomb, with 'Everyday' by A$AP Rocky, Miguel, Rod Stewart, and Mark Ronson slipping in for honourable mention. God, as an Eminem fan it's painful to place him in this position, but the song is just junk. | 2019-04-21T22:01:13 | http://www.spectrum-pulse.ca/2015/06/billboard-breakdown-hot-100-june-20-2015.html |
