My grandparents Edward and Sarah McGaughrin met each other as teachers in St Michaels in the early 1900’s. I believe my grandfather was head teacher but may be wrong.
Sarah Nee Gallagher lived at 347 Great Eastern Rd as per the 1911 census.
I am interested to discover any map or photos of that area as I believe Great Eatern Rd is now Tollcross Rd.

The Necropolis of Giza – a complex of monuments, including the Great Sphinx, the pyramids of Cheops, Khafre and Mykerina and other nearby buildings – the very fact of its existence causes the world to ask many questions. After centuries and millennia of legends, predictions and prophecies about the contents of the necropolis caches, these monuments, being researched by modern methods, continue to inspire scientists from different countries to search for traces of past civilizations. According to one version, the Sphinx hides a room that holds all the wisdom of the disappeared Atlantis.
The room under the right paw of the Sphinx?
With the discovery by Europeans of the pyramids, and then the mummies, sarcophagi and other unique phenomena of ancient Egyptian culture, countless speculation began to arise regarding the past of this mysterious land. The secret room, where the wisdom of the gods is hidden, is described in ancient sources. Continue reading
The most amazing finds, which turned out to be dinosaurs: From the “little sparrows” to the ancient giants
The theme of dinosaurs is popular at all times. Amazing prehistoric inhabitants of our planet are shrouded in a halo of mystery, because we are separated by tens of millions of years. And how great it is that paleontologists from time to time manage to find the remains of these mysterious creatures, recreate their appearance and show the world the diversity of their types! In our collection – some of the most interesting finds, allowing to stretch an invisible thread into the world of dinosaurs.
A lump of mud was a dinosaur
One of the most informative fossils found on Earth is the nodosaurus skeleton, with well-preserved skin and lamellar shell, found in Canada by excavator operator Shaun Funk. While working in one of the mines, the man saw in the ground a huge frozen clod of dirt, which weighed about one and a half kilograms and had an interesting patterned texture. Continue reading
Before the discovery of America and the beginning of its conquest by the Europeans, the territory of present-day Mexico, Guatemala and some other countries were occupied by the Aztec empire, which created a very original calendar. The year consisted of 18 months, 20 days each, and the “remaining” 5 days were considered “unlucky”. This calendar was carved on a huge stone. It had the shape of a circle, with a diameter of about 4 meters. Every day it was marked with its own symbol.
History of the calendar
Creation of a modern standard calendar
Now there are many different calendar systems created by different nations and priests of different religions. Some of them are still limited.

The so far quite much beloved Tom On Fire segment returns in a big bad way as Tom brings the following topics to the table that you can follow along with and discuss at home:
*How, as we’ve got older and our tastes for cinema in general have changed has this changed the way we approach Asian cinema?
*Do we feel in anyway certain performers or directors get TOO much attention in the West, or too much attention from fans in general ?
Also featuring a possibly controversial review of The Raid: Redemption, Daniel Wu and Kevin Spacey as superheroes and Kenny B watched a Korean movie?

The idea of eating out at a restaurant or cafe that serves ‘healthy food’ is often met with disapproval, at least in my house. This is usually due to the fact that the mention of “healthy food” is synonymous with being “boring and bland”! So, the whole purpose to “indulge” when eating out is defeated!
Well, Sante Spa Cuisine in Indiranagar, dismisses all these myths. If you are looking for a place where you can gorge on delectable fare to your heart’s content without feeling guilty about binge eating, Sante Spa Cuisine is for you. A vegetarian’s delight, this is a place where you can enjoy food made from the freshest and healthiest of ingredients (read no artificail colours, refined flours and sugar) without compromsing on the taste and flavour. There are plenty of options for those prefering vegan, alkaline and jain fare too. Read on to find out more.
Decor and Ambience
In line with the theme of the restuarant, the decor is airy, open and inviting. Housed within an old bungalow with distinct colonial and vintage vibes, the interiors are done in a colour scheme of white and green. Wooden furniture, wicker chairs and plenty of greens add to the warmth. There is a children’s area, a reading nook as well as outdoor seating. Here are some pics.
Potted plants, wooden blocks and indigenous cutlery add to the charm of the interiors.
The menu is exhaustive and the selection is truly vast. Right from farm fresh salads, homemade soups, home baked cookies, rustic grills and guilt free desserts, the menu offers it all. The fare includes dishes like sweet potato pancakes, Barnyard millet and roasted peanut Kedgeree and several salads containing healthy ingredients like sauteed Kale, roasted beetroot and farm fresh organic vegetables. Then there are things like homemade nachos, ragi pizza, multi grain rotis and whole wheat spaghetti. So it is all about ingredients that are wholesome, healthy and unprocessed.
We tried the Black and white Moroccan hummus which is a Jain variety sans garlic. Accompanied with ragi nachos, the hummus with the goodness of activated charcoal had all the flavours of the traditional variety complemented by the bell peppers, chick peas and herbs.
The Ibiza style Avocado salad as well as the Galouti of black beans were scrumptious and extremely flavourful. The latter is sure to be any non-vegetarian’s delight!
Another interesting bit about the menu is the abundant use of hemp. Try the appetizing Spinach mungo hemp chowder if you are game to try something different. Even the Zucchini Zoodles in Hemp Pesto is a totally unique dish with delicious flavours.
We finished the delectable meal with a small portion of the Salted caramel Mudcake which was again a totally guilt free indulgence considering it was prepared without any refined flour or white sugar.
Sante Spa also has freshly baked bread and cookies that is prepared in house. Sante Spa Cuisine is located at151, 2nd Cross Road, 2nd Stage, Domlur, Bengaluru.

Call of Duty Mobile is the popular free-to-play shooter game by TiMi Studio Group. Whenever a new patch is released for any mobile or online game, it provides immense quality assurance and fixes several bugs and glitches. However, sometimes new bugs and issues can arise when any new patch goes live for all the players. According to multiple reports, players receive a “Loading timeout” error at the time of logging in with their old or existing accounts. If you are also having the same issue, here in this guide, we have covered all the potential workarounds to fix it.
Fixing Call of Duty Mobile Loading Timeout Error
You are receiving a “Loading timeout” error in Call of Duty Mobile because of the poor internet connection and also if you are using any public IP address. In addition, if you have not updated the game on Android or iOS, you may encounter this error message. Thankfully, there are a bunch of workarounds you can try to fix the “Loading timeout error” while playing Call of Duty Mobile.
If you are an Android user, you can fix it by changing your cellular network settings. Here is how you can do it:
1. Open up the settings in your device and choose Sim and Networks settings
2. Here you need to change the preferred network type to 2G or 3G from 4G (VOLTE) and then switch it again to 4G.
3. Once done, activate your cellular data and run the game.
If you are playing CoD Mobile using WiFi or on your iOS, it is recommended to clear the game’s cache and then try to run the game. Most probably the issue will be resolved.
If the above solutions don’t work, the last method you can try is to install a VPN application and then make sure to activate it before logging in to the game. This way, the connection will be re-established with the servers of the game.
After the loading screen, you can close the VPN, and then the game will start running smoothly without any issues.

When your business is in its starting phase, you will need a loan to grow it. Yes, there are ways for you to start your business with very little capital, but even in the age of the internet you need loans for the growth and expansion of your business. Oftentimes, startup and small enterprises are scared of taking loans because they believe returning the same loan with interest on it will hinder their growth. The fact is a loan is not such a big liability if you have done your homework before getting it. Hastily getting a loan without researching the market and knowing your company’s growth potential can be detrimental to the business.
It is not important how experienced your management team is when your business plan is weak. When you ask for a loan from lenders, they want to find reasons to forward you the required loan. They want to be sure that the loan they forward is returned in time and according to the terms and conditions set at the time of lending. Lenders will hardly ever gauge the potential of your business to go back the loan based on what you speak. What they want to see is a solid business plan and that is for you to have an impressive one business Upside. A strong business plan will consist of the following and some more.
Keep in mind that banks often look at the cash flow in the documented form, and their scrutiny is not limited to what your projections are for the future but more importantly how you have managed things in the past. They will look at your company’s cash flow records for past year or so to see if you should be given the loan you are asking for. So, keep your business plan in mind and make sure you have worked on every part of computer to provide something impressive to the investors.
Sometimes, you have a solid business plan and devices is in place, your understanding of loan options is not at its best. Many small enterprises live with the impression that the only institution available to them for finding a loan is a bank. That’s far from truth because there are dozens of other ways to search for the loan or investment for your startups that’s much easier to manage than the usual bank loan. Some of the options available to you include SBA loans from the government, expenses financing, business equipment financing loans, etc. If you are just a startup and none of those options seem viable to you, there is online fundraising.
Online fundraising has become quite a popular supply of investments for your startup from individuals who trust in your idea and reasoning behind the business. Using funding website you have access to hundreds of thousands of investors located everywhere over the world that are willing to help if you can encourage them with your business plan and the team that’s behind assembling your shed. So, avoid making the mistake that many small enterprises make when they think bank is the only place for them to get hardly any money for their businesses.
This is a huge mistake that small enterprises often make and pay the price in the form of not being able to obtain the loan they want at the terms they want. See, you will be told to have a strong business plan because that’s the only way investors will trust you as an entrepreneur or business owner. When you create your business plan, you are not just jotting down random numbers on a piece of paper. Your plan should give you an idea of what your company’s needs will be in the coming times. That’s when it makes sense to apply for loans well in advance and not at the eleventh hour. | <urn:uuid:e573982b-3a0d-40e7-8d8e-e0c9fc2bf683> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://riskfreetracking.com/category/business/ | 2023-09-27T11:28:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.976004 | 721 |

I am DELIGHTED to bring you my good friend and crit partner CAMY TANG and her hilarious Asian chick-lit book, Sushi for One?, out now from Zondervan. This photo from last year’s ACFW conference shows me with the Loud Asian Chick. The girl is absolutely amazing writer, sweet (she’ll love me for that one), and a wonderful friend.
Now, on to Camy’s interview:
1.) What inspires you to write?
I love writing, but I also rest in the knowledge that this is trulywhat God wants for me to do. He asked me to lay down my writing oncebefore, and then gave me the green light to pick it up again, so Iknow that this writing is something He approves of and desires for me.
Unlike most women, I actually do not shift between left and rightbrain very easily. I have to get myself into a creative mode and staythere for as long as I need to in order to get the writing done.It’s usually just a matter of clearing my plate of left brain work sothat I can be in right brain mode for several days or weeks.Coming up with character personalities is right brain for me, and so I’ll set aside any kind of editing or logistical work until that’sdone. The plotting is more left brain, so I’ll work on plot and sceneindexes while doing other busy-work like edits from my publisher orwork on the ACFW Genesis contest.Then when it comes to writing the manuscript, I try to give myselfseveral weeks in pure right brain mode to get the story written out. Iwon’t take critiquing jobs, I won’t do any edits, I won’t evencritique for my crit partners. I try to completely clear my scheduleso that all I need to focus on is the writing.
3.) What is an indulgence that helps your creative muse?
POTATO CHIPS!!! I also love taro chips and veggie crisps. I know they’re super bad for me, but I can’t help myself!
4.) I love the flavor infused in your books. Where did you get the inspiration for Lex and the others?
I like using archetypes turned on their heads. I usually use Victoria Lynn Schmidt’s 45 Master Characters. As a psychology major in college, I knew that there are certainpersonality types that are repeated in fiction because they resonatepsychologically with readers. That’s why I enjoy using archetypes–anarchetype usually enables me to create a richer, deeper characterthat’s both consistent and fully drawn.I try my best to avoid stereotypes, so I’ll take an archetype and giveit a different sort of twist–an Amazon who has already been strippedvulnerable, a Maiden who has escaped her torturous relationship with aWarlock. I ask myself, what would they do now? And I go from there tocraft their stories.
5.) Who in the industry has had a profound influence on you and your writing?
Gayle Roper. I took her Fiction Mentoring clinic at an ACFW conference, and it was a turning point in my career. She’s aphenomenal teacher and a wonderful writer. If any writer has anopportunity to take her Mentoring class, they should do it.
Thanks, Camy, for this fun interview. Hey, everyone–leave a comment to win a copy of Camy’s incredible book. I’ve read Camy’s book and I have to say that the Loud Asian Chick hooks you into the Asian culture in a very cunning and funny way. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the characters are quirky but real, and the laughs are endless! I found it surprisingly how seamlessly Camy stitched in the cultural elements. She’s a phenomenal writer. You’ve got to get this book!!
Here is the official blurb from Camy’s website:
Book #1: Sushi for One? (September2007)Sports-crazy Lex Sakai isn’t too worried about “winning” the unofficial family title “Oldest Single Female Cousin” when her cousin Mariko marries in a few months. Her control-freak grandma is easy to ignore, until Grandma issues an ultimatum—if Lex can’t find a date for Mariko’s wedding, her ruthless Grandma will cut off funding to the girls’ volleyball team that Lex coaches.
Lex isn’t about to look desperate by dating every player in the dugout. She comes up with a stringent list of requirements from her Ephesians Bible study in her search for The Perfect Man. She always wins in volleyball—if she ups her game, she’s sure to succeed.
Then her brother introduces her to non-Christian, non-athletic, no-immediate-physical-appeal Aiden.
Aiden’s on the rebound from a girl named Trish, who dumped him because he wasn’t Christian. Then he discovers that Lex is 1) not attracted to him at all, 2) Christian, and 3) Trish’s cousin. No way is he hooking up with anyone from that crazy family, much less another hypocritical Christian chick. He’s certainly not masochistic.

1986 Quicksilver National Enduro
I could not find any articles for 1986 so I will have to fill in the blanks as best as I can.
The 1986 Quicksilver National Enduro did not happen. The club tried to make it happen but it just was not in the cards. It was a wash out. A one hundred year storm, the weathermen said!
All week before the event, a series of storms pounded the central coast, dumping untold amounts of rain on Clear Creek. About every 18 hours a new wave would hit. We are talking serious rain. On Thursday evening after the club meeting I took off for the property in my 1974 yellow Dodge van loaded with two bikes, marking supplies, food and camping gear. All the way down Coalinga Road I was hitting water flowing over the road and the three creek crossings were the highest I have ever seen them. When I got to the gate and turned in I saw water from edge of the gate to the other bank. Given the late hour, I decided not to attempt to cross the river and instead drove up to the Picacho Inn to park for the night. Somewhere in that quarter mile stretch of road I hit a stream of water that flooded into the air cleaner and killed the engine. So there I sat in the middle of Coalinga Road with my flashers going, the rain pouring down and a truck packed to the gills. I was gradually able to shift stuff around in the truck to where I could pull open the engine cover and wipe the water out of the air cleaner and eventually I got the truck started. When I got to the store I first parked perpendicular to the road until a big gust of wind coming up the valley rocked the van. It felt like it would blow over it was so strong. So I started the van and parked parallel to the road. Had to set a cooler between the seat in order to make a bed. I did not get a good night's sleep.
The rain stopped overnight and by morning on Friday the river had gone down just a bit. I was able to ford the river successfully, likely due to all the weight in the truck. Not many members were down at the property. Surprise, surprise! This was back in the days when all the marking was done the Friday and Saturday before the event. We also had a remote gas stop on the dirt mine haul road below the Atlas Mine. To get there we had to travel up White Creek road which we were allowed to do by one of the owners, Jim Nunez, a motorcyclist who herded his cattle on the back on a Honda.
Now, if this had been a District 36 enduro I would have cancelled it before even driving down to Clear Creek, but this was a national and the AMA frowned on national events being cancelled. Somehow the Club had to pull this off if possible. So, first thing JR and I headed down to White Creek to see if we could get up the road. We couldn't. White Creek had cut two foot banks where the road crossed. If we were to run the event, white creek road need to be made passable. JR took on this job and organized a group with picks and shovels to knock down the banks. I organized a marking crew consisting of myself and a high school student (whose name I can't remember) and headed out to mark the course. Like I said, there weren't a lot of people at the property. By mid-afternoon we had marked about nine miles of the course. While riding down a bald ridge line a gust of wind hit us and knocked the kid off the trail and off his bike. No long after that, about 18 hours after the last rain stopped, the rain started again with a vengeance. We headed back to camp, drenched. As the afternoon progressed, the rain seemed to increase in intensity. The storm was drawing moisture from the Hawaiian Islands - the so called pineapple express - and it had a bull's-eye on Clear Creek.
After dinner, with no relief in sight, the Club leadership present at the property decided to cancel the event. Given the forecast for continued rain throughout the weekend, the likelihood that White Creek would have washed out the road again and the fact that we only had nine out of 100 miles of course marked made a difficult decision easier.
The next challenge was to communicate the decision to the outside world. With the river flowing bank to bank again, the only option was to use the tractor of the 18 wheeler rig that Kim Kobow Trucking had loaned the Club for scoring. The truck driver and I climbed in the cab and headed out to find a phone. We made it across the river with the water topping the wheels and proceed towards Coalinga. About 10 mile down the road we found a ranch and pulled up to the house, surprising the residents. Upon explaining our situation the rancher graciously allowed us to use his phone to make a call to Salinas. Joyce Ponton and Derrick Morris had yet to leave town and they took on the task of notifying the outside world to the best of their ability.
Ironically, Sunday dawned clear and dry. Dave Bertram later told me that he and some Husky teammates had driven down to Clear Creek to go riding, disappointed about the cancellation since Sunday was so nice. That was until they tried to cross the San Benito River and almost lost their bikes.
Because of scheduling conflicts with other AMA national events and holidays, we could not reschedule the national. The AMA selected the Timekeepers MC Wild Boar as a replacement to fill out the schedule. We ran a District 36 event later that spring of which I remember little except that we cut out the AA third loop.
Lessons Learned: As a result of the problems encountered in 1986 we started to pre-mark the course a week or two in advance and many club members began to take vacation on the Thursday and Friday before the event in order to get the course marked. We also shifted the location of the gas stop to a spot just off the paved KCAC haul road after negotiating a lease agreement with the property owner who controlled the road.
To help the Club justify the cancellation to the AMA, I asked the BLM Area Manager, Dave Howell, to send the club a letter that we could then forward on to the AMA so they would realize how dire our situation was.

When driving back and forth to work, you want a vehicle that provides a smooth ride. However, if you enjoy getaways that include going over rough terrain, you need something rugged. The good news is that the 2023 Honda Passport is an ideal option for both.
Regardless of year, make, and model, Honda has a stellar reputation. This automaker takes pride in producing quality vehicles. Included is the 2023 Passport, which seats up to five people comfortably. Compared to other midsize SUVs, this one excels in design, as well as interior and exterior features.
Key Reasons to Buy a 2023 Honda Passport
You’ll find many reasons to buy this particular SUV. For instance, it has a refined V6 engine. That means you’ll enjoy a smooth ride but, at the same time, have plenty of power to tackle more challenging terrains.
In addition, this midsize SUV boasts more than 41 cubic feet of cargo space. So, there’s ample room for camping and sporting gear. Other things you’ll love are the roomy cabin, refined handling, and the abundance of features that come standard.
This SUV comes in three trims. Those include the EX-L, TrailSport, and Elite. While they’re all superior quality, some do better on tough terrain.
Engine and Transmission
All three trims have a 3.5-liter V6 engine coupled with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The combination of the powertrain delivers 280 horsepower and 262 pounds per foot of torque. However, only the EX-L base trim has FWD with an AWD option. On the other hand, AWD comes standard on the TrailSport and Elite trims.
The 2023 Honda Passport with FWD gets 20 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highway. As for the AWD trims, they get 19 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. Overall, combined fuel efficiency is 20 miles per gallon.
If you’re looking for an SUV for weekend excursions, there’s a good chance you’ll want something capable of towing. While the FWD trims can handle 3,500 pounds, the AWD trims offer a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
For anyone who loves the outdoors, it’s important to buy an SUV that handles just as great on snowy surfaces as it does on dry surfaces. The 2023 Honda Passport won’t disappoint. After all, both the FWD and AWD trims have a Snow Mode feature. As a result, the SUV provides more traction for dry trails, as well as sandy, muddy, and snowy surfaces.

|Quarks||Quark Charge||Leptons||Lepton Charge|
|Down Quark||-1/3||Electron Neutrino||0|
The First family of matter is composed of the up quark, the down quark, the electron and the electron neutrino. These particles make up virtually all the "normal" matter in the universe including all the chemical elements since all the atoms are comprised of electrons, protons and neutrons and electrons are truly elementary particles (as far as we know) and neutrons are made of 1 up quark and two down quarks for a charge or 2 x -1/3 + 2/3 =0 and the proton is made of two up quarks and one down quark for a charge for the proton of 2 x 2/3 + -1/3=+1.0. Electron neutrinos are also very common but they have no charge and virtually no mass and are not subject to the strong nuclear force but are only affected by the weak nuclear force so do not react and are not affected by normal matter.
|Quarks||Quark Charge||Leptons||Lepton Charge|
|Charm Quark||+2/3||Muon Neutrino||0|
The second family of matter forms mostly elementary particles that are unstable to some degree of another and do not normally occur in our universe except in special circumstances such as in reactions with energetic particles in nature or in particle accelerators. Muons which are counterparts of electrons but 207 times heavier were first discovered when extraterrestrial radiation hit atoms in the earth's atmosphere and with the extra energy created muons. Some of these survived to be detected by scientific instruments on the surface of earth. The particles made or partly made by these quarks quickly decay into the quarks or particles of the quarks made of the first family of quarks especially protons and neutrons in a very short time. Atoms have been made and maintined for a short time, about 2 millonths of a second where muons take the place of electrons and these are called muonic atoms and are an example of exotic atoms. Theoretically atoms could be made with any combination or muons and electrons or protons, neutrons or particles with strange or charm quarks but they are actually now difficult or impossible to build before these particles decay but when the curse of creation from man's sin in the garden of Eden is removed in the Millennial Kingdom perhaps radioactivity will be altered by God in a way that would permit these particles and exotic atoms to last long enough to have practical or commercial applications. I think this is even more likely to happen when God makes all things new in the new heavens and new earth in eternity. The muon neutrino is like the electron neutrino completely stable but also like the electron neutrino and for the same reasons doesn't react very much with matter.
|Quarks||Quark Charge||Leptons||Lepton Charge|
|Bottom Quark||-1/3||Tau Particle||-1|
|Top Quark||+2/3||Tau Neutrino||0|
The quarks and Tau Particle are similiar to their counterparts in the first two families of matter but are all heavier and have shorter lifetimes with none of them yet known to exist in nature but only when produced in particle accelerators but could exist momentarily in extremely high energy areas in the universe such as around supernova, black holes, gamma ray bursts or active galaxies. The Tau Neutrino is also like the other neutrinos fully stable but doesn't react with matter for the same reasons. Particles made of this family of matter could also be more stable and possibly have practical uses in society in the Millenial reign of Jesus Christ or in the New Heavens or New Earth in God's reign in eternity. Physicists haven't found and do not expect to find any further families of matter in the universe based on the general physical properties and constants of the universe. 3 families and divisions into thirds of a charge could be evidence from God and the Divine Trinity of his creation of the universe and its physical laws. An update about subatomic particles is that a main discovery by the Large Hadron Collider in Europe with the European group CERN is that subatomic particles with not 2 or 3 quarks or anti-quarks but ones with 4 or 5 quarks have now been found in 2016 and possibly in 2015. These particles are still however composed of the same six quarks or perhaps anti-quarks as the traditional subatomic particles formed from 2 or 3 quarks or anti-quarks.
Although I have mentioned the leptons such as the electron, muon and neutrinos and the protons such as the neutron and proton that are composed of three quarks and are called "baryons" by physicists, there are other particles that have been produced in accelerators and that either have been observed in special conditions or could occur in special conditions naturally. Some of these particles are called mesons and are comprised of a quark and a anti-quark or antimatter quark. An example of this is the pi meson. These mesons could have charges of 0 if the quark and antiquark have charges of the same (and opposite) magnitude, or of +1, or -1 . Of course there are also antiparticles one of which the positron or anti-electron that has made its way into commercial applications such as the medical PET or positron electron tomography scanner. There are also antiprotons, antineutrons and antimatter counterparts of all the other normal matter particles. These are comprise of antiquarks which have opposite charges of the normal charges but of the same amount. The most complex piece of antimatter that has produced so far so far as I know is antihyrdogen with an antiproton with a positron in orbit around it. Although this or other antimatter counterparts of stable matter made of protons, neutrons electrons should be stable from radioactive decay like these types of normal matter, since we live in a universe primarily composed of matter, certainly in our immediate neighbourhood, it is most difficult to contain especially neutral antimatter like antiatoms because when it contacts the walls of any matter container the antimatter will react catastrophically with the matter of the walls of the container and annihilate both the antimatter and some of the container in a burst of energy. Although antimatter reactions are much more efficient than nuclear reactions this difficulty controlling the reaction of antimatter with matter presents a serious problem in practice.
So far as is known to modern science there are only four basic forces of nature or creation. They are the strong nuclear force that holds quarks together in subatomic particles together or the particles in the nuclei of atoms together with a carrier called gluons, the weak nuclear force that is responsible for radioactivity, electromagnetism that is responsible for electricity and magnetism and visible light, radio waves, heat or infrared radiation and much other radiation we are aware of and has as its carrier the photon or particle or quanta of light and gravity. Gravity is thought to have a carrier or quanta called a graviton and be spread from strong gravitational fields like that involving black holes by gravity waves but these have so far not been observed although there are instruments searching for them now and more powerful ones are planned soon. Update is that the US gravitational wave detection facility LIGO has detected three incidents of gravitational waves and just recently detected a fourth together with the newly operating gravitation wave observatory VIRGO in Italy. All these incidents were of pairs of supermassive black holes with with masses between 15 and 40 solar masses spiraling into each other and finally merging into a bigger black hole. In each of these incidents the final coalescing gave off about 1 or a couple solar masses of energy which was turned largely into the energy of the gravitational waves according to Einstein's equation E=mc2. It is hoped these observatories can soon also detect pairs of spiraling in to each other and coalescing neutron star pairs that would more likely give off some electromagnetic radiation that could help scientists associate electromagnetic astonomical sources with gravatiational wave astronomical sources and help astronomers learn more about gravitational waves and the objects that produce them. Finding associated electromagnetic waves could also better help astronomers identify the more specific locations of gravitation wave source astronomical objects. One of the reasons for appeal of some versions of so-called string theory or super-string theory is that it would enable a Theory of Everything (TOE) that could unite gravity including gravitons the quanta of gravity with the three other main forces of creation that is electromagnetism and its quanta photons, the weak nuclear force and its quanta W or Z bosons and the strong nuclear force and its carriers or quanta which I don't believe have been found yet and could still require higher energies than available with man-made accelerators.
The fields of electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force have been united briefly at the higher energies in accelerators to create particles that carry this united force called electroweak in carriers called W and Z particles but that is so far as far as physicists have proceeded in their dream to unite all the forces of nature. Gravity is by the weakest force of all but because the strong and weak nuclear force only act over distances similiar to an atom and electromagetism has positive and negative charges that cancel out even though this force can act over astronomical distances, gravity still has a great effect in the universe because it can act over any distance and it only has attraction between different objects. It is not well understood even by physicists what causes gravity but they hope to soon understand it better if they succeed in unambiguously producing heavy particles called Higgs particles that could explain why particles have their given masses. These particles could be clearly detected by an accelerator now under construction in Europe that is expected to begin operation in Fall 2007.
There was an announcement in February 2016 that the LIGO joint facility in Louisiana and Washington states had detected a very strong burst of gravitational waves in September 2015 when it was just being tested for regular operations at a new higher sensitivity. (The scientists felt it was necessary to wait unti this February to make the announcement to check if the signal was from something else including many other possible much less dramatic earthbound sources of interference. Having both instruments hundreds of miles across detect the same signal limits the possibility the signals are produced from local earthly sources.) As it turns out the event that produced this signal was from about 1.3 billion light years away from the final stage of two massive black holes spiraling into each other to produce one larger black hole. Originally these two black holes were about 30 and 36 solar masses and each about 100 kilometers across. Just before they joined as one larger black hole they were spiraling into each other at about 1/2 the speed of light which is about 186,000 miles per second or just under 300,000 kilometers per second. Just when they contacted each other and started to become one larger black hole they gave off energy in the form of gravitational waves equivalent to turning 3 solar masses of material into pure energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc**2. This was all predicted by Einstein in his theory of relativity published in 1916 but he didn't believe black holes existed and he also didn't think gravitational waves would ever be detected so this makes their detection announced this month that much more remarkable. Scientists have been looking for gravitational waves for a couple decades now but likely didn't have sensitive enough equipment before. Scientists at LIGO hope they will be able to soon announce other gravitational wave producing events and could already have recorded another event which they haven't confirmed yet. LIGO scientists said the event likely occurred in the southern hemisphere but unfortunatley they can't yet have clearer resolution to narrow the location of the event down to anything smaller than 400 times the area in the sky of the full Moon. Later this year a European facility for detecting gravitational waves called VIRGO is supposed to open in Italy and then soon after that other gravitational wave observatories in India and Japan. If all these in the next couple years also open and work successfully it will certainly allow scientists to more specifically locate the position of any future sources of gravitational waves. One significance of this and hopefully soon future other detections of gravitational waves is that it opens a new window of the universe to see especially particularly violent or energetic events that can't be seen as easily with existing detectors of different types of electomagnetic waves such as visible light, different types of radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet light, x-rays or gamma rays. These gravitational waves also can come right from the inside of black holes or exploding stars or the early universe and go through interstellar dust or other obstacles to some electromagnetic radiation. Finding these and perhaps other gravitational waves could help scientists eventually find the hypothetical particle or basic wave of gravity called a graviton corresponding to the wave/particle of electromagnetism called a photon. From a biblical Christian perspective these gravitational waves give further demonstration of God's glory, wisdom and power in His created universe that He shows to hopefully persuade more people to trust in Him and also come into a personal relationship with His through His Son Jesus Christ who died for us and our sins and also showed some power in rising from the dead partly by His own power.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:19-20
In early July 2012 there was a major announcement at the European Nuclear Organazation CERN that they had with the data collected in the Large Hadron Collider up to that point as well as the data at the American Fermilab that gives about only a 1 in a million chance that the signal they were receiving at about 125 to 126 Giga or billion electron volts was just by chance. This energy range is a prime range predicted for the Higgs particle. There are some differences in the decay chains in this particle that was seen compared to what is generally predicted for the Higgs particle but the data is generally consistant with a standard model Higgs particle. The Higgs particle was predicted since the 1960s and is the basic part of the so-called standard particle that explains why all subatomic particles including the proton, neutron and electron have mass. The Higgs particle is associated with the Higgs field that is thought to occur throughout space and through which all particles move and which gives them mass. IF it wasn't for this Higgs field and associated particle all particles would travel at the speed of light and have no mass like the photon or light particle does. The Higgs particle could also be part of what God's word means when it says in Colossians 1 that the Lord Jesus Christ is before all things and by him all things consist (hold together).
In November 2012 further confirmatino of the Higgs particle was announced. This was carried on the web sites Live Science, space.com and others. According to the article on Live Science, the further data give more indication that the Higgs like particle is indeed the standard Higgs particle which means it probably doesn't point to any more exotic physics like supersymmetry, dark matter or dark energy as some had hoped. A main reason for saying it is the standard Higgs particle is that the values for the spin and parity of this Higgs like particle were measured with values consistant with those for a standard Higgs particle. Spin is roughly the direction that the particle is oriented in space. Since this particle is measured with no preferential direction in space it has a spin of 0 which is consistant with a standard Higgs particle. The value of parity which can be thought of as the particle's handedness (left or right) is also consistant with a standard Higgs particle. Again the Higgs particle can be thought of as a key particle in God's creation at the minute level especially why many particles have mass and don't travel at the speed of light.
It is important to note that Jesus Christ is spoken in this passage not only as the one through whom God created all things invisible and visible including elementary particles and the laws of physics but that it is also through Jesus as these things "consist" or hold together. The primary name for the strong nuclear force by which quarks hold together and protons and neutrons hold together in the nuclei of atoms are called "gluons" which carries the same idea of consisting or holding together. Although not related by the term as much this maintaining all things to consist could also mean God through Jesus holding all things together by gravity on a larger scale as well.
Who (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; Colossians 1:15-19
The apostle Peter or other people of the 1st century would not know any scientific details of the nuclear realm or nuclear reactions so they would have to describe this phenomena in general terms in ways they could relate to. However the heavens passing away with a great noise and the elements melting with fervent heat are each consistant with the extremely violent and energetic nuclear reactions and this could be realized if God through His Son Jesus Christ stops his action of maintaining or holding together the universe at the nuclear or subatomic level as is he is upholding now and maintaining stability as in Colossians 1. In verse 12 the extra detail is provided that the heavens shall be on fire when the elements melt with fervent heat. All this dissolving of the elements and the heavens passing away although probably sounding terrifying to many still has a good purpose. This is because this current earth is tainted with human sin and displeasing to God and the heavens are tainted with demonic sin and perhaps of humans involved with the occult in such things as "astral projection" in which through occult experiences people project their spirits into the heavens with help with spirit guides or familiar spirits. These things would taint also the heavens with sin and make them displeasing to God. However for believers and God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the holy angels we look forward to a new heavens and a new earth that won't be tainted by sin and will have God's righteousness never to be tainted by sin again. This destruction of the current earth and heavens and the creating of the new earth and heavens will take place at the end of the 1000 year Messianic Age and the beginning of eternity. These new heavens could also be more habitable for humans and life than the current heavens that we know in which we have yet to find any other definite signs of life especially intelligent life or places that could support this life. However if we detect extrasolar planets of comparable mass and temperature we might detect signs of plant or other non-intelligent life soon. The scripture reference in 2 Peter 3 of God probably using nuclear reactions and disassociation to destroy this current earth and heavens to prepare for the new earth and new heavens is as follows:
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 2 Peter 3:10-13

One of the most comforting food for me are chicken nuggets.
And I love making mine homemade.
Here’s how I make mine:
Mix the following seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, paprika, and cayenne pepper. I use this seasoning as a basis for pretty much everything. And I mean everything.
Those seasonings you just mixed? Sprinkle some of that mixture with flour and mix well. My tip? Do this part in a Ziploc resealable bag. Not only is it an easy cleanup at the end, but the coating you get this way is just perfect.
Take boneless chicken pieces (cubes or tenders… whichever you prefer) and mix the above seasoning mixture into this. Add whisked eggs. Make sure everything is combined well.
Put some pieces of chicken into the Ziploc bag with the flour mixture. Seal well, and shake the bag to help coat the chicken. Do this in batches, depending on the amount of chicken you are using.
Fry the chicken, and enjoy! Another tip? Make sure the oil is heated through completely before starting to fry to make sure your chicken isn’t oily, but instead crispy and moist the way you want it.
P.S. This post is a part of my “What’s for Dinner” series, where I share what I’ve been cooking and my recipes. | <urn:uuid:89192ccc-71a2-422f-93e8-757585fde9e6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://summaiyahhyder.com/2012/09/whats-for-dinner-homemade-chicken-nuggets.html | 2023-09-27T12:34:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.930831 | 297 |
Hello, Brett. Thanks for your answer. I moved the node around in iThoughts, but nothing changed in Marked. I even created a new itmz file, with only a subset of the original mind map. Nothing. I exported from iThoughs as markdown, and the table was recognized. I noted now that the same happened when I pasted the table on this topic.
Brett on 11 Oct, 2022 04:57 PM
Playing with the test file I'm not sure how this ever worked for you. The Marked/iThoughts integration handles multi-line nodes by indenting them as paragraphs, which will probably always break a table. You can, however, add the table as a note on the node and it should render for you. You can also add a line in the node before the table followed by an empty line (ctrl-return) and then the table will render. The problem exists when the table breaks across the first line and the following lines. | <urn:uuid:213bace1-eac7-40e5-9562-d135d16fd803> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://support.markedapp.com/discussions/problems/170290-table-not-rendering-at-all | 2023-09-27T11:49:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.954822 | 211 |
Manufacturing site in Martfű
We perform mechanical machining works (lathe work, milling, grinding) to produce machinery parts in our manufacturing plant located in Martfű. In addition to traditional processing machines, cycle-controlled lathes and CNC controlled lathes suitable for the manufacturing of series of large numbers and complicated parts, we also have grinders and machining centres suitable for 3- and 4-axis machining at our disposal. Moreover, we also use machining centres with TopSolid and CATIA CAD/CAM preparation and support, capable of even the simultaneous, 5-axis mechanical shaping of 3D sculptured surfaces. The intermediate production check and the end quality control of the here produced parts is performed by our skilled quality inspectors by using manual measuring instruments and 3D coordinate measuring machines or 3D laser scanner.
Our production management engineers prepare a manufacturing instruction for each product, with every operation constituting part of the manufacturing process indicated on it with a bar code. Before commencing and after finishing the individual operations, our machine operators scan the bar code relevant to the given operation, which makes it possible for us to check the current state of the manufacturing process in the SAP system, as well as to perform a subsequent calculation of the manufacturing process. | <urn:uuid:7585814d-e8d2-422a-920c-555d97d0e57b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://teszt.agrohid.eu/page/manufacturing-site-in-martfu/ | 2023-09-27T12:06:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.930789 | 266 |
Allotment Articles 2.
There are various types of algae. There is one that turns some aquariums red and another type of algae we are all familiar with, which most people donít even realize is algae, and that is seaweed. Another type of algae that comes in large strands is commonly called blanketweed. This incorporates fine particles of silica, or sand, out of the water, making it very tough. Most fish canít eat it, but grass carp are said to be able to tackle it. Most fishponds get infected with it at some time, as it can be on shop bought plants, or introduced by ducks and other birds on their feet.
Blanketweed is best described as looking like green candy floss. In the water it looks a lot of material, but when you get it out it looks a very small amount. It will choke lilies and oxygenators and also block pond pumps. You can remove some of it by twisting a bamboo cane in it, or you can buy a special tool for the job. The only way to deal with it permanently is to poison it with a selective weed killer. This is not as dangerous as it sounds to fish and other life as long as you follow the instructions carefully.
Algae magnets are another way of reducing the problem. They consist of a large permanent magnet that ionises the water as it passes through it. This prevents the blanketweed from growing, or so the theory goes.
The type of algae that all fishpond owners are familiar with, is the single celled variety that causes green water. In the Winter, when it is cold and light intensities are low with shortened daylight hours, the algae, like most green plants, does not grow, so fishponds become clear. But as Spring comes and everything comes to life, the pond often goes green. This is due to the availability of minerals in the water from decaying vegetation and fish droppings etc. There are several ways to clear green ponds. The most healthy and natural way to do it is to cut down on the fish food and put some more plants in the pond. Oxygenators are available in several varieties and are quick growing, so they are one of the best plants. When the weather is warmer water hyacinths, lettuce and chestnuts are also very useful. Duckweed and fairy moss will help clear the pond, but can become a nuisance in their own right as they will cover the whole pond in a few weeks if allowed to.
A properly installed biological filter is a very good solution to clearing green water. This works by physically removing the particles of muck floating in the water with foam sheets, or filter brushes. Also it has a media in it that has a large surface area for bacteria to live on. These nitryfying bacteria feed off the chemicals in the water thereby removing the food that would have allowed the algae to grow.
The addition of an Ultra Violet system will give clear water as this sterilizes the water when it passes through it thereby killing the algae. They are very good, but donít remove the cause of the problem, that is free minerals, so it is recommend that a biological filter is used as well. There are many chemicals called algicides that kill the algae and give clear water, but the effect is only temporary and you always have to repeatedly dose the pond every few weeks.
One new method of clearing green water in a pond is by using a small quantity of Barley Straw. A few retailers sell this, but you can often buy it in small packets by mail order and other types of straw will also have a certain amount of success.
The straw is tied in a bundle and immersed in the pond where it slowly decays. Research has not shown conclusively whether it is the bacteria on the rotting straw, or a chemical that is called Hydrogen Peroxide that is released from it, into the water, that clears the pond. However, it will keep the pond clear for many weeks until the straw has become too rotten and then it has to be removed otherwise it will rot further and pollute the pond. | <urn:uuid:38b1644c-6e27-4460-ba0a-de2e7b5caca5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://the-site.name/fishponds/fish_pages/green.htm | 2023-09-27T12:13:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.974075 | 869 |
Steal Like A Scientist To Optimise Conversation Rates
The most expensive way of testing anything is to launch it and to see if it works.
However, that’s often how things are done when it comes to new campaigns and website launches
Scientists base everything they do on the relentless testing of ideas to either prove or disprove concepts BEFORE rolling them out.
So as a marketer, if you strongly commit to testing as you develop projects you’ll be ever closers to being a genius scientist yourself. And at the same time, what ever you do ultimately launch will be the closest you’ll get to having a winner each and every time.
Having the right mindset, approach and systems in place for testing is crucial.
Which is why this week on the show we’ll explore in detail how the best conversion optimisation experts do it, so that you can ultimately do the same.
This week live from Austin, Texas with Brian Massey!

Week 13’s game between the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs does not have the same allure as that of the matchup of the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens, but it has bigger playoff implications. The Raiders can tie Kansas City atop the AFC West with a win, while a loss will dramatically decrease their chances to get into the playoffs. The Raiders and the Chiefs are +12500 and +1200 to win Super Bowl 54, respectively.
Betting Preview for the Oakland Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs NFL Regular Season Week 13 Game on December 1, 2019
Where: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City
When: Sunday, December 1, 2019, 4:25 PM ET
TV Broadcast: FOX/CBS/ESPN
Betting on the Oakland Raiders (6-5)
Talk about stepping on a land mine. That was what the Raiders felt in Week 12 — of course, not literally – when they got handed an upset 34-3 road loss by the New York Jets. The loss snapped the Raiders’ three-game winning streak and set them back in their bid to win a playoff spot. Derek Carr was not on top of his game against the Jets, going 15 for 27 for 127 passing yards and zero touchdowns with an interception. Running back Josh Jacobs was also a non-factor, as he rushed for just 34 yards on 10 carries. Jacobs, however, had some success against the Chiefs in the first meeting, albeit in a 28-10 home loss back in Week 2, when he rushed for 99 yards on 12 carries. It’s very much possible that Jacobs will rebound well from his lackluster performance in the Jets game, as the Chiefs have one of the worst defenses against the run, allowing 5.1 yards per carry — second-worst in the NFL.
The Raiders are 3-2 against the spread (ATS) in their last five games.
Betting on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-4)
Patrick Mahomes must be raring to go back onto the field after a bye in Week 12 which he probably spent hearing noises about Lamar Jackson being better than him. Well, the reigning MVP is going to have to do something to silence those discussions, and he can start by repeating his success against Oakland in Week 2 in this coming Sunday’s rematch. Mahomes went 30 for 44 for 443 passing yards and four touchdowns and zero interceptions in a 28-10 road win over Oakland in the two teams’ first meeting this season. Mahomes is also benefiting from a talented crop of receivers, including tight end Travis Kelce, who had 107 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven receptions against the Raiders.
The Chiefs have seen the total go over in three of their last three home games. They are also 3-1 ATS in their last four games against the Raiders.
The Chiefs win, 28-24

UGLPOA Environmental Committee would like to remind residents of West Milford’s ban on using fertilizers containing phosphorus.
It is also requested that residents do not grow plants or vegetables on docks or near to the lake edge where run off would cause phosphorus or nitrogen (common in plant feeding applications) to flow into the lake.
The additional chemicals alter the pH and speed up the eutrophication of the Lake. This means that dissolved oxygen is reduced, thereby threatening the health of fish and other creatures. Increased phosphorus will also cause algae blooms, create more weeds, and lead to an overall deterioration in the water quality.

As usual, also this week there is a hot tip for you guys out there to listen to….
Desiree Heslop, more commonly known as Princess, had some success during the mid-1980s. Her self-titled first album from 1986 contained this hit “Say I’m your number one”, which Late Night Tuff Guy has edited for todays audience. I quite LNTGs edits and remixes, so check out the stock at Discogs as well as your local record store. His edit of this particular tune is on the “Soul Cut #2”
Es ist ein tolles lied! Check it out below. | <urn:uuid:0a64a177-fc0c-4b0b-a16d-a02cc4510b52> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://unmute.info/archives/898 | 2023-09-27T12:28:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.960787 | 140 |
So, I realize the majority of people nowadays do not buy music. Well, at least not in the way I think of it. Also, they do not own their music, I mean a physical (bought digital file, CD, Vinyl etc) copy of it. Streaming services has taken over the world. 🙁 Well, personally I prefer to buy my music and oftentimes I get the question where I buy my vinyls for example. So, following is a list of stores where I prefer to shop. They are online stores and physical stores that I use while travelling (god knows I love Tokyo and Amsterdam from that point of view). While some of the stores also have online stores, they might not be practical for that purpose for different reasons, reasons I will not go into. Here goes…
- Juno (CD, Vinyl, etc)
- Juno Download (Digital)
- Decks (CD, Vinyl, etc.)
- Traxsource (Digital)
- Beatport (Digital)
- Tecnique – テクニーク (Tokyo)
- Tower Records – タワーレコード (Tokyo)
- Disk Union – ディスクユニオン (Tokyo)
- Rush Hour (Amsterdam)
- Amoeba Music (San Fransisco)
Apart from the mentioned store above, and I recommend all of them. Many record labels and artists now also have online stores themselves, so it might be worth searching the net to see if your favourite label has one.
Another option to acquire your music is by means of promotion or blogs (or blog-like pages). For promotion you will have to register with different record labels of your liking. If you are lucky you will be sent promotion material to download. Regarding blogs, again, I cannot help you. So basically, for promotion and blogs you have to take the time and google by yourself. But I can suggest a blog-like site where you will be able to find music enough to last an eternity, this is Soundcloud. For the artist I think it has turned into an idiotic place to be at, but it is a good source of finding interesting music.
ohh, I almost forgot to mention Discogs – Database and Marketplace. A perfect place for finding information about artists or releases, but also for tracking down old records that you are missing in your collection, or rather any record. Individuals and businesses alike are selling records here. I mentioned old used records, but you can find new stuff here too, and I find myself ordering a lot of off Discogs at the moment.
That is it, hope it was helpful. Comments below if you have any. | <urn:uuid:5ef0cc3c-e985-41e7-9353-b4b2e8e1013f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://unmute.info/archives/979 | 2023-09-27T13:03:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.940722 | 570 |
This thesis investigates the interaction between soil and pipeline in sand subjected to lateral ground loading. The purpose of this study is to improve the structural modelling of buried pipelines; and also aim to produce design guidelines and construct normalised charts which will be of direct benefit to practising pipeline engineers. The research was performed entirely using the finite element (FE) method, and utilised the user subroutine of an advanced constitutive soil model that was implemented in this thesis. The problems examined in this research can be categorised into four main topics.
First, 2-D FE analyses were conducted concerning with the effects of loading rate on a laterally-loaded pipeline buried in saturated sand. Depending on the ground movement rate, the behaviour of pipelines can be different in fully-drained, partially-drained or undrained soil conditions. Based on the FE analyses results, fast-loading (undrained condition) analysis gave higher ultimate pipe force (Nq) when compared with slow-loading (drained condition) analysis, especially in dense sand. And, as partial consolidation occurs, Nq will decrease gradually from undrained value towards a fully-drained value. Boundaries for the partially-drained condition also have been derived in between Vn (dimensionless relative loading rate) of 0.02 and 50, where Vn < 0.02 represents fully-drained condition and Vn > 50 describes completely undrained condition. All indications support the conclusion that both the sand dilatancy and hydraulic conductivity of the soil in relation to the loading rate are important factors for mobilisation of the lateral resistance of a pipeline in a saturated soil medium.
Second, soil loading on a pipeline under global soil shearing conditions was investigated by performing different types of relative ground and pipeline movement modes, with the aim of generating both passive and active failure states. It was found that the load-transfer curve varies in initial stiffness; it will soften in the active loading case, but it will stiffen in the passive loading case. Shear banding is the result of localisation of deformation in soil mass, and the shear band mechanism will affect the pipe force prediction. It was found that Nq will increase when a pipeline was placed inside the soil collapsed/failure affected region, but the slip surface (or shear band) will not affect Nq if the pipeline was placed outside the failure zone. Overall, it can be concluded that the effect of global soil shearing on the interaction of soil and pipeline is relatively small in terms of Nq, implying that local soil deformation and soil dilation characteristics are more important and influential factors contributing to the magnitude of the lateral pressure on pipelines.
Third, investigations of the behaviour of an elbow-bend pipe, under lateral soil loading were performed using a 3-D FE modelling method. It was found that deeper burial pipeline, denser soil and elbow-bend pipe with larger bending angle accounted higher Nq. Also Nq at the elbow-bend pipe was about 2.7 times higher than a straight pipe. Based on these predictions, normalised charts that account for pipeline burial depths, initial elbow-bend angles, pipeline deformation modes, sand densities and effect of the soil models were proposed. 3-D multi-linear trend soil-spring models were also constructed for the use in both closing and opening mode elbow-bend pipes. In order to validate the proposed normalised charts and 3-D soil-spring models, several 3-D spring model analyses were performed. The results from the spring model analyses confirmed that the ‘3-D elbow effect’ can be ignored in the closing mode case, but in the opening mode case, the effect was computed at about 17% when compared to a 2-D bilinear soil-spring model case. Additionally, a larger effective plastic strain region was observed when 3-D soil-spring models were adopted in the design.
Fourth, in order to achieve a reliable design procedure against permanent ground deformation (PGD), a full-scale 3-D FE numerical analysis and a full-scale 3-D spring model analysis were both carried out on a 90º elbow pipeline. Encouraging and good results were achieved from both of the numerical models when compared with the data from experiments carried out at Cornell University. Thus, it is shown that the adopted 3-D FE method was able to simulate the observed pipeline performance under PGD ground failure in a reliable way. | <urn:uuid:ab0f6b1f-40ab-48b2-ab0d-47aa154c3310> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www-civ.eng.cam.ac.uk/geotech_new/publications/abstracts/abst-Cheong%20TP.html | 2023-09-27T12:46:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.958374 | 911 |
Rwandan Defense Forces, under the cover of Congolese rebels known as M23, have started their 2,000-mile long march to the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kinshasa.
According to our sources within Rwandan Defense Forces (RDF), the order to march on Kinshasa was given on June 30, 2012 in a final meeting between General Paul Kagame of Rwanda, ex-CNDP Commander General Laurent Nkunda and Rwandan top military leaders, including Defense Minister General James Kabarebe, Chief of Joint Military Staff General Charles Kayonga, and General Paul Kagame’s intelligence and security adviser, General Jack Nziza. The march started on July 1, 2012 when the last unit of close to 3,000 Rwandan troops crossed the border into the DRC on the night of June 30th to reinforce 2,000 troops already supporting M23.
General Laurent Nkunda turned down the offer to lead the rebellion.
According to our sources, during several meetings held in the weeks before, General Paul Kagame once again asked General Nkunda to lead the rebellion. General Paul Kagame said that he does not want General Bosco Ntaganda. He pointed to the recent UN Security Council resolution adjoining all the countries in the region to stop supporting Bosco Ntaganda, a Congolese renegade General who has been indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC). General Paul Kagame also said that he does not trust Colonel Sultani Makenga, who was born and raised in the Congo, and hence appears to have no emotional attachment to Rwanda. General Laurent Ntaganda continued to reject the offer arguing that he has been away from his troops for too long and insisted on keeping Colonel Makenga and reassuring others that he will keep Colonel Makenga in check. General Laurent Nkunda has been officially under house arrest in Rwanda since January 2009, following the international condemnation of Rwanda for supporting him in a bloody uprising. But the reality is that he has never been under any arrest and was only forbidden from crossing. He and General Bosco Ntaganda are involved in the exploitation of Congolese minerals and timber, oil, and real estate businesses.
An Elaborate Plan for Invasion and Occupation.
Investigations by AfroAmerica Network are on-going. However, sources close to the Rwandan Defense Forces(RDF) top brass, point to an elaborate plan with multiple actors. The main actors are:
- M23-CNDP that represent the Congolese Ethnic Tutsis under the command of General Luarent Nkunda, General Bosco Ntaganda and Colonel Makenga in the Eastern Congo and Congolese Police Chief General Bisengimana as a fifth column in Western DRC, especially the capital Kinshasa
- PARECO-APLCS, mostly Nande under the command of General Kakulu Sikuli Vasaka Lafontaine and former Foreign Affairs Minister Mbusa Nyamwisi
- PARECO mostly Hutu, under the command of Colonel Akilimali
- Ethnic Hema, under the command of Colonel Kahasha.
- Other troops, mostly from Katanga, under the command of disgraced former DRC Police Chief General Numbi, a confident to Rwandan Defense Minister General James Kabarebe.
The plan is first to put in place a national cover for a Rwandan led rebellion. Once the cover is well recognized, M23 will officially remain in the Kivus, while other factions will continue the march to Kinshasa to overthrow General Joseph Kabila and install a Congolese politician amenable to the Rwandan cause and interests.
All Started With Unkept Promises by General Joseph Kabila.
In order to be reelected, General Joseph Kabila promised several things to General Paul Kagame in return for his support in the Kivu. Unfortunately for Joseph Kabila, he easily promises a lot and is able to deliver very little. Hence, as usual, in this case he delivered very little once he was elected:
- First he promised to keep the Tutsis within FARDC key posts of leadership and maintain them in the Eastern DRC.
- Second, he promised to never attempt to arrest General Bosco Ntaganda.
Soon after the elections, under the pressure from the international community and to appease the radical congolese angry with the Rwandan influence in Congolese politics, General Joseph Kabila decided to move the Tutsis within FARDC to other regions of the DRC and officially declared his intention to arrest the renegade General Bosco Ntaganda.
Once Paul Kagame came to the realization that Joseph Kabila was about to get the renegade Gen. Ntaganda arrested and then transferred to the ICC, he became furious and dispatched Rwandan special forces to be the first ones that would get close to the fugitive General. This operation served mainly two purposes:
- - to prevent any unreliable/unfriendly forces in the eyes of Kagame to arrest Gen. Ntaganda since the Rwandan President does not want him to “spill the beans and/or talk” about all the support the latter has been getting from Rwanda,
- - in case of sustained scrutiny and denunciation by the international community, then the renegade General Ntaganda would be eliminated by RDF operatives and his death would be reported to the world as a war casualty.
Simultaneously, Rwandan Military leaders prepared a mutiny, that came to be M23 with the aim of regrouping all the congolese troops loyal to General Paul Kagame. Even then, General Paul Kagame wanted General Laurent Nkunda to lead the rebellion but he hesitated, He later confided to close family members that he was afraid he would end up a bullet in the head, once General Paul Kagame finds an other suitable replacement. Our investigation has learned that when General Nkunda turned down the offer, Paul Kagames’s services asked him to convince Makenga to create and head the M23 group. In return Makenga was promised full cooperation and support from the Rwanda security services according to our sources.
General Laurent Kabila against General Paul Kagame.
A palpable sentiment is emerging in top circles both in Kigali and Kinshasa: Joseph Kabila’s days as President of the DRC are numbered. General Paul Kagame is determined to remove him from power and General Joseph Kabila has no power to stop him from doing so. Even the United Nations, represented by MONUSCO appears powerless.
After the march order was given by General Paul Kagame, M23 and RDF troops quickly seized, on July 3, 2012, the strategic town of Bunagana. Simultaneously, and General Lafontaine and Colonel Kahasha’s troops seized the strategic supply hubs of Lubero, Kasiki, and Mbwavinywa. These two operational successes by the rebels left the town of Rutshuru, which serves as a junction between the Capital Goma, the northern major towns of Beni and Butembo and the Eastern supply routes from Rwanda and Uganda, under siege. FARDC commanders along with 600 troops fled to Uganda abandoning weapons, tanks, and military trucks. Most of the soldiers even removed their uniforms before fleeing to Uganda.
On July 8, 2012, Rwandan Defense Forces and M23 seized the towns of Rubare and Ntamugenga, situated on the axis between Goma and Rutshuru, thus completely isolating Rutshuru. As this article goes under press, sources within M23 and Rwandan Defense Forces told AfroAmerica Network that in the next days, they will move towards Masisi, Goma and Walikale. General Lafontaine’s and Colonel Kahasha’s troops are already moving towards the towns of Butembo and Beni to make a juction with the troops led by Colonel Akilimali and those loyal to Former Foreign Affairs Minister Mbusa Nyamwisi.
Then the two will move westward to meet in the major town of Kisangani, before continuing on to Kinshasa.
AfroAmerica Network will continue to follow the dramatic dynamics and political seism in the Great Lakes of Africa.

Address delivered at the Africa Dialogue Lecture Series, arranged by the Centre for International Political Studies, University of Pretoria, 21 April 2004.
1. The institutional framework
In September 1999, the Heads of State and Government of member countries of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) decided to transform the OAU into a new African Union (AU), in which a strong emphasis was to be placed on an African development programme. The Constitutive Act of the new AU, to replace the OAU as a political body for all the countries of the African continent, was accepted in July 2000 at a meeting of the Heads of State and Government held in Lomé, Togo. The Constitutive Act also incorporated the Treaty of the existing African Economic Community (AEC). A transition period of one year was provided for to enable the existing organisations to give effect to the transformation, and to enable member states, where necessary, to provide in national legislation for the acceptance of the new structure.
The Constitutive Act of the AU provides for the following institutional framework:
- The Assembly composed of the Heads of State and Government of all the participating countries. The Assembly is the supreme organ of the AU and its annual meetings are referred to as 'Summit Meetings'.
- The Executive Council composed of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of all participating countries. It is the function of the Executive Council to co-ordinate and take decisions on policies in areas of common interest to the member states. A number of Specialised Technical Committees were formed to assist the Executive Council in areas such as rural economy and agricultural matters; monetary and financial affairs; transport, communication and tourism; health, labour and social affairs; and education, culture and human resources. Ministers of national cabinets responsible for these functions in their own countries would serve as members of these Technical Committees. The top structure of the AU is therefore by definition a truly body politic.
- The Pan-African Parliament (established recently) is provided for.
- The Constitutive Act in addition sanctioned the establishment of a number of other specialised Pan-African institutions, including
- a Court of Justice;
- an African Central Bank;
- the African Monetary Fund;
- the African Investment Bank; and
- the Economic, Social and Cultural Council.
The AU Commission was established with a Secretariat to provide administrative services to the various institutions within the structure. The headquarters of the AU was placed in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.
To justify the importance attached to the development objectives of the AU, the Heads of State of five countries were given a mandate to develop an integrated socio-economic development framework for Africa. These five countries, consisting of Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa, became known as the 'Initiating Countries'.
2. The creation of The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD)
As a number of schemes for a new initiative for African development already existed at that time, the Initiating Countries could make quick progress and in July 2001, a draft for a Strategic Policy Framework of the New African Initiative and a Programme of Action was presented to a Heads of State and Government meeting in Lusaka, Zambia. The proposals were accepted and a Heads of State and Government Implementation Committee (HSGIC) was created, consisting of the Heads of State of the five Initiating Countries plus two (subsequently increased to three) Heads of State for each of the five recognised Regional Economic Communities on the continent (development areas such as the Southern African Development Community (SADC)). This HSGIC with its 20 members functions as the controlling body for NEPAD. At this stage, HE Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, President of Nigeria, chairs the HSGIC.
The HSGIC constituted a Steering Committee with a personal representative for each one of its members, and established a Secretariat as support structures for the implementation of the NEPAD objectives. Both the Steering Committee and the Secretariat are headed by Professor Wiseman Nkuhlu and operate from Midrand in South Africa. In the longer term, there is a possibility that the headquarters of NEPAD will be transferred to Addis Ababa to join the rest of the AU administration.
The AU Commission, operating from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, therefore functions as the Secretariat and supportive organisation for the political activities of the AU, and NEPAD with its Steering Committee and Secretariat in South Africa represents the development arm of the AU.
3. Objectives of and programmes for NEPAD
In a 'Declaration on Democracy, Political, Economic and Corporate Governance' issued in Durban on 8 July 2002 (the inaugural meeting of the new AU Assembly), all African countries committed themselves to the NEPAD objectives by endorsing a wide-ranging pledge to eradicate poverty and to place their countries on a path of sustainable growth and development. This must be pursued within a framework of active participation in the world economy and the global body politic.
To achieve its objectives, the AU identified the following priorities for NEPAD:
Establishing conditions for sustainable development by ensuring:
• peace and security;
• democracy and good political, economic and corporate governance;
• regional co-operation and integration; and
• capacity building.
NEPAD further aims at policy reforms and increased investment in the following priority sectors:
• human development with a focus on health, education, science and technology and skills development;
• building and improving infrastructure, including information and communication technology (ICT), energy, transport, water and sanitation;
• promoting diversification of production and exports, particularly with respect to agro-industries, manufacturing, mining, mineral beneficiation and tourism;
• accelerating intra-African trade and improving access to markets of developed countries; and
• the environment.
Under NEPAD, mobilising resources is to be achieved by:
• increasing domestic savings and investments;
• improving management of public revenue and expenditure;
• improving Africa's share in global trade;
• attracting foreign direct investment; and
• increasing capital flows through further debt reduction (and increased Official Development Assistance (ODA) flows).
In support of these objectives and programmes, the Steering Committee of NEPAD and its Secretariat are at this juncture actively involved in a great number of projects, particularly of a trans-boundary nature and involving the co-operation of Regional Development Communities. These include:
• a Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme;
• an Action Plan for the Environment Initiative of NEPAD;
• a Comprehensive Health Strategy;
• an Education programme (Education for All); and
• a number of trans-boundary infrastructure projects in energy, transport, ICT, water, sanitation and tourism.
4. The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM)
In the 'Declaration on Democracy, Political, Economic and Corporate Governance', agreed to by members of the AU at the Summit Meeting held in Durban in July 2002, provision was also made for the introduction of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). Through the APRM, progress made by individual countries with the implementation of the NEPAD programme should be assessed from time to time. An 'APRM Base Document' was attached to the Declaration in which the APRM is defined as 'an instrument voluntarily acceded to by member states of the African Union as an African self-monitoring mechanism'.
In the 'Base Document', the purpose of the APRM is defined as follows:
The primary purpose of the APRM is to foster the adoption of policies, standards and practices that lead to political stability, high economic growth, sustainable development and accelerated sub-regional and continental economic integration through sharing of experiences and reinforcement of successful and best practice, including identifying deficiencies and assessing the needs for capacity building.
It was also decided that participation in the APRM would not be obligatory for all members of NEPAD, but would be subject to a voluntary participation agreement signed by the Head of State of a country (the Memorandum of Understanding on the APRM). Initially, 16 countries agreed to participate, two more have since taken the decision to join and there are indications of a few more that may shortly come on board.
After the Durban Summit Meeting in July 2002, further documents were prepared by the NEPAD Steering Committee on the 'Organisation and Processes of the APRM', and on 'Objectives, Standards, Criteria and Indicators for the APRM'. These documents were approved by the NEPAD Heads of State and Government Implementation Committee in Abuja, Nigeria in March 2003, and the stage was now set for the introduction of a monitoring system of progress made by individual countries with the implementation of the NEPAD programme.
5. The Panel of Eminent Persons
The task for doing the reviews is delegated to a Panel of Eminent Persons, consisting of five to seven members, to be selected and appointed by the Heads of State of countries participating in the Review Mechanism (the Forum). In the 'Base Document', the required qualifications for members of the Panel are described as follows:
The members of the Panel must be Africans who have distinguished themselves in careers that are considered relevant to the work of the APRM. In addition, members of the Panel must be persons of high moral stature and demonstrated commitment to the ideals of Pan-Africanism.
Eventually, in May 2003, the following seven persons were appointed to the Panel:
• Ms Marié-Angélique Savané (Senegal) — Chairperson
• Prof Adebayo Adedeji (Nigeria)
• Ambassador Bethuel Abdu Kiplagat (Kenya)
• Dr Graça Simbine Machel (Mozambique)
• Mr Mourad Medelci (Algeria)
• Dr Dorothy L Njeuma (Cameroon)
• Dr Chris Stals (South Africa)
Panel members do not represent countries or national governments or any other vested interests. Members of the panel are elected in light of their individual backgrounds and experience. Care was apparently taken to select persons from each one of the five Regional Economic Communities, and also to include members with experience in all the basic disciplines of policies that the Panel will have to review.
During the past nine months, the Panel held six meetings to orientate itself and to work out a practical programme for the implementation of its mandate. Not all of the objectives and programmes of NEPAD will be covered by the APRM process. The Peace and Security Initiative, for example, is being pursued in a separate structure more aligned to the political arm of the AU. Many of the more specific programmes, which are run and managed by NEPAD on a multi-country, cross-border, regional or continent basis will not be reviewed by the Panel. These programmes are of vital importance for the work of the Panel. Peace and Security is, for example, a precondition for sustainable growth and development, and the successful implementation of the priority projects of NEPAD will provide the indispensable vehicles for the development process. In the APRM, constant notice will be taken of progress with these projects, but no detailed overviews will be made.
After deliberation and consideration, the Panel came to the conclusion that overviews of countries should cover the following four basic policy disciplines:
• the democratisation process and good governance at the political level;
• socio-economic development providing in the basic needs of people, such as education, shelter and health care;
• macro-economic policies including fiscal, monetary, trade and labour policies; and
• corporate governance including licensing, regulation, competition policy, ownership protection, solvency and liquidation rules and good corporate governance.
The Panel appointed its own Secretariat with Dr Kerfalla Yansané, a former governor of the Central Bank of Guinea, as Chief Executive Officer, and four co-ordinators with a research assistant for each one of the four basic disciplines.
The Panel had to ask itself what kind of policies a country should apply in each one of the four basic disciplines in order to put it on the right course for the ultimate attainment of the goals of NEPAD. Standards and norms had to be set, taking account of the ideal of best practice and, of course, of the realities of Africa. Objective criteria and nominal indicators had to be defined to ensure that comparable and consistent assessments will be made for different countries.
The Panel also entered into extensive negotiations with a number of multinational institutions, such as the United Nations (UN), and a number of its agencies, the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the African Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, to seek their assistance for the APRM process. The Panel does not want to become just another hassle for countries by collecting basic information that is already available within some other institution.
A programme has now been worked out with the participating countries for procedures that will be followed with the reviews. The Panel approaches the APRM basically as a self-assessment process where each country should in the first instance decide for itself whether it is on the right track and what adjustments would be necessary in the implementation of its own national policies to ensure that it will be moving in harmony with other African countries on the defined path to a common destiny.
For this reason, the Panel has issued a document entitled 'Guidelines for Countries to Prepare for and to Participate in The African Peer Review Mechanism'. Furthermore, the Panel drafted a very comprehensive document now being referred to as the 'Questionnaire', which contains a more detailed statement of the objectives of NEPAD, and of the standards, norms, criteria and nominal indicators for each of the four identified disciplines to be used in the assessment process. A great number of examples of questions to be asked by the Panel have been included to enable countries, even before review missions will visit with them, to proceed with the self-assessment process.
The Panel places a high premium on a very broad and general participation in the review process by all stakeholders within a country. Not only ruling governments but also opposition parties, government officials, non-governmental organisations, private sector business representatives and civil communities must be given the opportunity to express their views. This requires the creation of a well-structured institutional framework within each country to involve as many stakeholders as will be possible.
In the end, however, the Panel of the seven Eminent Persons will be responsible for drafting the final report on their views of the country's policies, deficiencies and need for assistance, for example in capacity building. In the execution of its functions, the Panel will have to remain objective and independent, free of any political pressures or outside intervention.
6. The APRM report of the panel
The final report of the Panel will be submitted to the Heads of State and Government of the countries participating in the APRM (the Forum). It is not required of the Panel to do any follow-up work on the review. The APRM is after all a peer review mechanism — peers, that is, Heads of State and Government of participating countries must talk to their peer, that is the Head of State of the country concerned. The APRM ends where it begins — as part of the political process of the AU. It is a requirement, however, that at some stage reports of the Panel will be released to the public, for example by tabling them in the Pan-African Parliament. This may only take place after the Forum has dealt with the recommendations, but not later than six months after they have been finalised by the Panel.
Available documentation provides for no penalties or sanctions against countries that do not, in terms of Panel opinion, apply acceptable policies. The 'Base Document', however, contains the following clear instruction for the follow-up procedure:
If the government of the country in question shows a demonstrable will to rectify the identified shortcomings, then it will be incumbent upon participating governments to provide what assistance they can, as well as to urge donor governments and agencies also to come to the assistance of the country reviewed. However, if the necessary political will is not forthcoming from the government, the participating states should first do everything practicable to engage it in constructive dialogue, offering in the process technical and other appropriate assistance. If dialogue proves unavailing, the participating Heads of State and Government may wish to put the government on notice of their collective intention to proceed with appropriate measures by a given date. The interval should concentrate the mind of the government and provide a further opportunity for addressing the identified shortcomings under a process of constructive dialogue. All considered, such measures should always be utilised as a last resort.
It is indeed the intention of the APRM and therefore of the Panel to act as a catalyst for African countries to discover for themselves best policies and practices that will lead them on a collective basis to the longer-term objectives of NEPAD. Countries that do get good reports from the Panel will automatically attract the attention of the international donor community, potential international investors and foreign governments.
7. Present status of the APRM
Members of the Panel and its Secretariat are now proceeding to the implementation stage. Information is being collected for a supportive database for each one of the 16 original participating countries and for the few subsequent late joiners. Members of the Secretariat recently visited some of the countries that have made good progress with the implementation of their internal APRM programmes. On the basis of their findings and recommendations, the following four countries were selected by the Panel for the first APRM reviews: Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius and Rwanda.
A Panel member has been designated to lead the Review Team for each one of these four countries. It is planned to finalise reports for these pioneers by the end of this year, and at the same time also to proceed to other countries as soon as they make satisfactory progress with their own internal activation programmes.
At this stage, it is a challenging learning process, both for the Panel and for the participating countries. In the process, procedures, standards and norms, criteria and indicators will undoubtedly be adjusted, in the light of our experiences and of our efforts to establish more appropriate formulae for our vast continent with all its poverty, backlogs and desperate needs. The established best practices and policies of other parts of the globe, and particularly of advanced industrial countries, do not always fit the needs of and circumstances prevailing in African countries.

Welcome to AikiWeb. I hope your re-entry into aikido goes well.
Great to hear you had such an awesome time. I understand what it is like to have a long break from training and then come back. I have been away from Aikido for 9 years due to family commitments!!! Arrgggh... way to long. Just started back a week or so ago. It's unbelievable fun. It is weird in some ways tho.. memories of techniques are very strong in the brain, but my body has somehow not kept up! Still, i figure if it is still lurking round the depths of my mind then it is just a question of time before the body gets back into the swing of it.. heheh.. i hope :)

BVM: who is tah breeziiy?
Tah Breeziiy: Tah Breeziiy is more than a name, Tah Breeziiy is a brand lol. Thats the typical shit a artist would say but no seriously, im just a normal 22yr old that knows how to rap. Im from NJ, im short 5'5, I love food (fried chicken mainly) typical right? lmao, im muslim, I like tattoos, I like sneakers, I can dance and sing outside of rapping as well, and I have a degree in Criminal Justice and Child Education as a back up just in case this rapping shit doesnt pop off lol!
BVM: something nobody knows or wouldnt expect from me?
Tah Breeziiy: most people who know me will tell you im "OUTSPOKEN" ... to the point where people just say im mean. I'm actually not mean, im just honest... but no one would actually believe the fact that im shy! im good at just going for it though, the things im shy about or not to sure of, rarely stop me. It gives me something to accomplish, something to get over and get through. "no one is going to believe this" lmao
BVM: what are you listening to lately?
Tah Breeziiy: Lately im listening to all sorts of music, including Tah Breeziiy, J. Cole, Paramore, Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, Tamar Braxton, Maroon 5, Ariana Grande, Lil Wayne, Omarion, and alot of NJ Underground Club Tracks. Also I listen to Biggie "Ready To Die" album everyday, because thats my favorite rapper. I have a respect for music in general because music translates emotions and its actually theraputic depending on what your listening to. I like all different genres of music. I'm a blogger so im listening to all the new singles artists are dropping.
BVM: whats the first song you ever remember hearing that made you want to get into the music business?
Tah Breeziiy: the first song that ever made me want to rap was "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice lmao! that was my shit I was young as hell, im not even sure if it was out at the time it may have been old, but I was like this song is really popping. Then it was "Workin Em" by Lil Wayne, that whole Dedication 2 mixtape was a classic. After he said "Weezy F. Baby the Muthafckin Carter, bitches on my stick but my name not Harry Potter" I knew I wanted to rap, because I use to say shit like that in normal conversation and Harry Potter is one of my favorite movies lol.
BVM: musical inspirations?
Tah Breeziiy: my favorite rapper hands down is Biggie, I try to use one of his instrumentals on every mixtape! He was my inspiration mainly, but outside of Biggie my inspirations include Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Jessie J., shit anybody that made it on my ipod is a musical inspiration!
BVM: how did you develop your personal sound as an artist?
Tah Breeziiy: I initially only wanted to be on club tracks as a vocalist. So at first nothing was really mapped out, I just got in the booth and said what I was told to say, that went really well. Then I realized I wanted to say more shit on the tracks then dance moves, so I started writing about shit you see at parties or in life in general and adding little skits to the songs I was doing. My friends would be like "this sounds hot, or I like that" or "im not feeling that" , it was more of a progression that developed my sound. I went from doing club vocals, to being featured here and there on people songs, to doing my own songs. I have bars and a flow, it was my delivery that needed to be worked on. Once I got that downpacked it was on!
BVM: what can people expect at your live shows?
Tah Breeziiy: well whenever I do a live show, people who know me or know of me, knows that im a dancer before anything, which is how I ended up in the club music lane in the first place. So at a "Tah Breeziiy" show, there will be dancing! I hate slow dragged out beats, so every beat and every song will be upbeat and energetic, I want the crowd to be apart of the show as well, and they can expect me to talk my shit lol!
BVM: what song do you love to perform the most and why?
Tah Breeziiy: out of all my songs I have three songs that I like the most for separate reasons.
Make You Choke - is a club rap song about getting head and promising not to make the girl choke. The beat was well produced and it has alot of funny ass lines in it including "licky licky licky lick, while your sucking on my pogo stick , my dick is like a baby arm and they said the third lick is the charm"
HAM - is the intro to my latest mixtape Charm & Metaphors Vol.1 , it is one of those songs where you just gotta pay attention to what im saying because its a story of me going HAM!
Cartel Cypher - is a remake of a club song, the beat is stretched to be rapped on and it got alot of plays, and blogged alot. It was a song of dedication to the supporters of my team (Cartels). It features 3 other members of the Cartels and it is a fun song.
BVM: How can my fans keep up with you with upcoming events? Promoters book me for events?
Tah Breeziiy: being as though im not signed, im not mainstream and I have right now a local buzz lol, I still utilize my social networks to promote my music. So if you want to know what im doing musically or how to contact me im always online via twitter (@Tah_Skywalker), instagram (@BreeziiyCocaine) or facebook - Tah Breeziiy. I always respond and converse with people because im a people person and im really down to earth.
BVM: whats next for you?
Tah Breeziiy: right now I have a mixtape out called Charm & Metaphors Vol.1 , its pretty dope, I advise yall to check it out lol. next im going to drop a clubtape "raps over club beats" called In Between the Beats , I always make sure I remember where I started from and what got me to where im at now. im doing a collaboration EP thats untitled with one of my friends. and following that im going to release another mixtape that im still in the process of recording, naming, picking beats for! im in talks of doing a 5 song EP of me doing covers of R&B and HipHop songs. "I can sing too" lol! and I want to shoot a video sometime soon lol! | <urn:uuid:005d6b95-9df3-48ac-aca0-89d2ca3ca433> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.bam1987tv.com/2013/09/bvm-exclusive-bam-interviews-tah.html | 2023-09-27T11:52:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.965617 | 1,512 |
Beatrix Farrand brought many of her favorite plants, fencing elements, and garden ornaments from Reef Point to Garland Farm, where she designed her last garden. At the entrance to the Farrand wing, she created a 32’ x 25’ Asian-inspired garden containing some plants from the Far East. The terrace garden (44’ x 40’) at the rear of the wing was surrounded by a low wooden fence, salvaged from a client’s estate in Bar Harbor and later removed to Reef Point. The garden is divided into rectangular parterres and the central area outside the study consists of heaths, heathers, and lavender.
The annual and perennial plantings outside Clementine’s suite were warm in color, while those outside Beatrix’s suite were in cool tones, with climbing roses and clematis integrated along the fence. Farrand added a number of specimen plants around the new house, including Japanese cherry hybrids (thought to be new introductions given to Farrand by the Arnold Arboretum), a stewartia, a metasequoia, and other trees and shrubs uncommon to Maine gardens. A small glasshouse was built to grow annuals and to over-winter the large non-hardy potted rosemarys and lemon verbenas, which Farrand like to have outside in the summer. Many of Farrand’s original trees, shrubs, and perennial plants survive. [/hcolumns]

A Hero of France OverviewAlan Furst's historical spy novel, A Hero of France, takes place in Germany-occupied France early in World War II, and follows a self-organized group of French citizens called the Resistance. These citizens find and shelter British air pilots who have been shot down over French territory by German forces, and -- against the will of the ruling German military -- smuggle the pilots back to neutral borders, so that they can resume their pilot fighting against the Germans. The novel follows a middle-aged Resistance member who uses the pseudonym Mathieu, who must devise increasingly sophisticated methods as the war drags on. When a secret agent infiltrates Mathieu's inner circle, he successfully dissolves the group before any are significantly punished by the Gestapo.

For this technique I used one off the tear-off palettes which has a lovely slippery smooth surface.
Add a drop of 2 colours quite near each other - here I used cadmium red hue and Hansa Yellow Medium.
Spritz with water and let colours gently come together.
Dip your card into the mix quickly before the colours blend and mix .....
..... and reveal some marbling effects.
This is one I tried with green gold and phthalo turquoise.
This just goes to prove you can get watery marbling effects with just water but I will admit the patterns are not so intricate as they are with other methods.
If you want to pin - here is the graphic.
Thanks for stopping by on another technique Tuesday and all the lovely comments you left on the Weathered Wood Crackle last week.
See you soon.

I can’t believe that school starts next week! Not only that, but this year I will have two kids in school. Romeo is pretty easy to dress for school. Jeans, polo shirt, hoodie, with or without a heavy winter coat depending on the weather. It seems to be pretty much the default look for the boys at his school, and overall, keeps them looking decent most of the time. The elementary school girls, on the other hand, don’t always look so put-together. I think its a combo of the cheapness of available clothing, so that within a few months after school starts, the glitter is falling off shoes and shirts and the leggings are fading/sagging, and that girls just have so many options that it is much harder for them to grab at random and look like they totally pulled together an outfit.
I can’t necessarily help her with coordinating her clothes, but I can give her some things that won’t fall apart right away. In line with the Me-Made pledges so popular among sewists, I’m calling this “The Mommy-Made Project.”
First up is a late summer bohemian look. The fabric is a cotton or cotton-blend that has a better feel than most quilting cottons, but was found on a clearance table, so it was cheap. The pattern is McCall 6530 and the kerchief is included in the pattern. I’m rather doubtful they will allow the kerchief in school. I’m guessing that all head-scarves are banned, not just the gangsta ones (wouldn’t want to discriminate) | <urn:uuid:98eb5f4e-3dba-4a8e-96ce-9d59ebf755df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.carihomemaker.com/mommy-made-back-to-school-the-bohemian-butterfly-top/ | 2023-09-27T12:59:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.970736 | 351 |

Critical Thinking & Research Skills at Chatsworth International School
It’s no secret that our world is becoming increasingly globalised. As the world becomes more connected, it’s more crucial than ever for young people to have a well-rounded education which encompasses important life skills. In fact, qualities such as emotional intelligence, adaptability, resilience and critical skills are amongst the most highly valued skills in the twenty-first century.
Chatsworth International School
Chatsworth International School is a school in Singapore which provides high quality education for children between the ages of three and eighteen. The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum which is delivered by experienced and qualified teachers. As such, we are able to nurture confident and independent learners who are able to thrive in an ever-changing world.
We know that critical thinking and research skills are important for success in university and beyond. That’s why we place such a strong emphasis on developing these skills at Chatsworth International School.
But how does our curriculum foster that?
Building Critical Thinking Skills
Students need to be able to question what they’re taught, and to think for themselves. Here are a few ways we do this in the classroom:
- Encouraging our students to ask questions in class
- Instilling a love of inquiry and teaching them how to find information independently and verify that information with other sources
- Getting them to discuss controversial or difficult topics so they learn to argue both sides of an issue.
In the PYP, year 6 students undertake a culminating project by inquiring and applying essential elements of the transdisciplinary skills and showcase their project at the PYP Exhibition. At the MYP level, year 11 (MYP5) students complete the Personal Project – an independent research project assigned that requires students to research on a topic and then present their findings at the MYP Personal Project Exhibition. This gives them an opportunity to practice finding and evaluating information, as well as using it to create an argument or solve a problem.
Be Part of Chatsworth Today
What will students of the future be like? This is a question that has long been debated by educators, futurists, and parents alike. While no one can say for certain what the future holds, there are ways to set young learners up for success.

Triglycerides are the most common storage form of fat in many organisms. They are neutral lipid molecules created via the esterification of three fatty acids to a single glycerol molecule. Triglycerides are an efficient storage medium because their highly hydrophobic nature allows them to be stored as part of droplets (in which they have little or no contact with water molecules).
Triglycerides vary in molecular composition according to the identities of the fatty acids used in their synthesis . Fatty acids that have been esterified to the glycerol moiety of the triglyceride may be unsaturated (containing double bonds) or saturated (containing no double bonds). The number of double bonds in the fatty acids affects the melting temperature of the triglyceride. Saturated fats have higher melting points and are often solids at room temperature. Unsaturated fats have lower melting points and are often liquids at room temperature. Although all triglycerides are correctly identified as fats, triglycerides with melting points below room temperature are also known as oils. Animal triglycerides generally have more saturated fatty acyl groups than plant triglycerides. Beef triglycerides (lard) have a saturated to unsaturated fatty acyl group ratio of 50:50, whereas the ratio for olive oil is about 20:80. Hydrogenation (removal of the double bonds in the fatty acids) will convert an oil, such as vegetable oil, from a liquid to a solid.
In animals, triglycerides are either ingested as part of the diet or synthesized in the liver. Triglycerides are transported in blood as part of lipoprotein particles. Dietary triglycerides are transported as part of lipoprotein particles called chylomicrons. Triglycerides synthesized in the liver are transported as part of lipoprotein particles called very low density lipoproteins or VLDLs. Triglycerides are then removed from lipoprotein particles as they move through the circulatory system. Tissues either utilize this transported triglyceride immediately, or it is stored in adipose tissue .
Triglyceride is stored within cells that make up adipose tissue (fat). Triglycerides are the most abundant form of stored potential fuel in the human body. A typical 70-kilogram (154-pound) man will have approximately 15 kilograms (33 pounds) of stored triglyceride, representing several months of stored fuel. When physiologic conditions necessitate the use of triglycerides stored in adipose tissue, a hormone or neurotransmitter signals their release. Exercise or stress triggers the release of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine from nerve terminals in the adipose tissue, thereby stimulating triglyceride release. Fasting also initiates the release of triglycerides. Insulin and glucagon, two hormones produced by the pancreas, control this release of triglycerides. During fasting, blood glucagon levels increase and insulin levels decrease. The combination of increased glucagon and decreased insulin levels in the blood is the hormonal signal that triggers the release of triglycerides from the adipose tissue. However, triglycerides do not exit adipose tissue intact. Hormonal signaling activates an enzyme called a lipase that hydrolyzes a triglyceride molecule into a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. The glycerol and fatty acids are then transported within the circulatory system to tissues that will utilize them as fuel. Fatty acids are transported in the blood bound to the serum protein albumin, as their hydrophobic natures would otherwise make them insoluble in the blood.

paperback, sent by the publisher, thanks!
Another book by an indie publisher and author (who just happened to get his degree at University of Washington and lives in Seattle, the best city in America). The premise of The Summer of Long Knives is a good one. It's 1936, and police Kommisar Rolf Wundt of Munich is ready to walk away from the Nazis and from Germany, taking his wife Klara with him. Wundt had earlier solved the case of the serial killer known as the Dresden Vampire, and he's a good cop. There's just one more case left for him to solve before he flees, that of a murdered little German girl found at a farmhouse belonging to the family Epp. But, just like in the real world, things do not always go as planned.
Even though Wundt and his team at the police department are on to a strong lead from photographic evidence they'd culled together, the case suddenly comes to a halt when the decision is made by higher powers to make Heydrick and Himmler "the new lords and masters at KRIPO," effectively putting the SS in charge of German police forces. Under their watch, Jewish scapegoats are brought in for "questioning" in the case, then executed for the murder of the little girl. Wundt knows that these boys didn't do it, but with the SS in control, he's beaten, and what can he do? As he's getting ready to pack up and leave, he's going through some old files and comes across one from some years earlier that is linked to the little girl's murder, a file he'd never seen before, put there just for him. Suddenly, his plans for leaving are put on hold as he realizes that he must solve this crime, not just for justice but for his own personal redemption. With the SS breathing down his neck, it's going to be difficult, and his investigation just may mean the end of his plans for freedom.
The author is on his game when he is focused on the crime segments of this novel as well as during his depictions of Wundt's frustration at the SS takeover of the criminal investigation agency of the police. The book starts out very nicely with the discovery of the body, leading to Wundt's investigation, and police work that leads Wundt in a positive direction toward the possible identity of the little girl's killer. When he turns to psychiatrist-wife Klara, who helps with profiling the killer, it's an added plus. But around the crime, I had a lot of issues with the writing. Sometimes the SS people, most especially in their "interrogation" with the Jewish suspect in the girl's murder, came across as truly stereotypical Nazis you might see on television. Then there are Wundt's inner musings. For example, there's one scene where Wundt is musing about Marlene Dietrich and her "magical reversal of power," her "indifference to men," and holding her up as the standard of German womanhood. Huh? Another example: on seeing his boss's naked torso at his raquet club, there's this:
"Rolf had never known just how much hair covered Helmut's body. Tufts of it sprouted from his nipples and their environs, and from the ridges of his shoulder blades, like swamp ferns. He'd need to have them waxed if he wanted to join the SS. From what Rolf had seen in the films, they had a smooth skin fetish."Huh? These sorts of things pop up all throughout the novel (including a brief discourse on Bentham's panopticon which seems out of place), and to say that they're jarring is an understatement. The author also, from time to time, uses expressions that seem more at home in our current world than in Nazi Germany, pulling me out of the time frame.
Overall, the author can write crime scenes well, and he's good at, as the back cover blurb notes, "telling stories about people who find that the rules they've lived by are turning against them." That theme comes through loud and clear in Summer of Long Knives. However, I didn't really enjoy the periodic lapsing into moments I've noted above that left me wondering about their relevance. I read literary fiction all of the time so I get what he's trying to do here, but less would have been so much more in this novel, which started out so promisingly well. But once again, I'm probably being nitpicky -- I'm looking at reader reviews and they almost all seem to love this book, 4 & 5 stars pretty much across the board, making me realize just how tough of an audience I really am. | <urn:uuid:80b0d5af-e1ff-413c-acbd-eddcebe3864a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.crimesegments.com/2014/09/for-tlc-book-tours-summer-of-long.html | 2023-09-27T12:55:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.987085 | 993 |

Before I headed to Marrakech I did my usual research. I researched on what to see, where to eat, what not to miss and of course where to stay. I pulled up my GoogleEarth map to get an overview of the medina, the old town of Marrakech. Unfortunately, the map didn’t prove very helpful and I would later learn why exactly it’s just a grey and whitish spot in the middle of Marrakech.
Marrakech has recently seen great hotel openings, from the Lucien Barriere’s Naoura Barriere to the Jacques Garcia-designed rebirth of legendary La Mamounia. For a more authentic Moroccan experience, however, I chose to stay at a riad, the traditional Moroccan garden house, usually consisting of around four rooms facing an inner courtyard, with a little garden and water feature as well as a roof top terrace.
One element of the magic of a riad is that most of them are virtually impossible to find. Try finding a door with no sign in a maze of roads with no names. Maps? Forget it, none of the available ones are accurate. I always thought I was a pretty good navigator, someone who readily finds his way. But in the medina, I paid a price for my optimism, especially during the first days: for a small bakshish local kids will happily show you the way to your next destination. Everybody assumes that you are looking for la place or Place Jamaa el fna, the sinkhole the entire medina appears to be circulating around like water in a bathtub. You will end up there at some point, although you probably won’t understand how you got there and will hardly be able to go back the same route.
Prices for la gentillesse (the kindness of the locals to guide you) have gone up recently, probably because of lost souls who were happy to pay any price to get out of the claustrophobic labyrinth. As with everything here, though, a little negotiation solves the problem.
I wanted to do it on my own though, blend in, know where I was going or at least pretend to, so I could avoid being asked if I needed directions. I am proud to say that I can navigate Bangkok’s Chatuchak Market without a map and I wanted to be able to say the same thing about the medina. Well, it’s not the same. I saw an American who was marching quite steadily; I thought he knew where he wanted to go, but then I noticed how he kept peeking into his baseball hat which he was holding in his hand. As I passed him I noticed a hand drawn map hidden inside the hat. The occasional peek assured him he was on track. Nice one.
There are more than 600 riads in the medina but you only need one really: Riad Farnatchi. Hidden in a small derb, a little dead end off a tiny road North of the Soukh, between the Musée de Marrakech and the Maison de la Photographie, is a heavy, bolted wooden door with no sign, only a door bell. Once this door opens, it’s like stepping into a different world, of tranquility, where the porridge of noise from mopeds, merchants, children and mules is replaced by birds chirping, water dabbling and a smooth voice asking whether you would like a thé á la menthe. You sit by the pool, taking a breather before making your way up the old staircase to your room. Your key is in the hole but the door is unlocked. You wouldn’t lock your door at home either, would you?
I don’t like how hotels advertise as being a ‘home away from home’ when they usually aren’t. I mean, who has standardized furniture at home? Meaningless prints on the walls? A tiny fridge you have to bend down to? Q-tips wrapped individually? No offense and yes, not all hotels do that but that’s a different story. You enter your room at Riad Farnatchi and you do indeed feel at home. Fresh local pastries (including the best cornes de gazelles I found all week), a pair of traditional slippers and a djellaba await, as you dig into the Moroccon interior. I put on my djellaba, slip into my new babouches and sit down on the balcony, drinking mint tea, thinking for a moment that I am indeed a local.
But then, it’s almost too perfect. Lynn Perez, the Canadian manager of Riad Farnatchi, has such an eye for detail that you simply won’t find a scratch on the walls, not a chip in the tadelakht, not a spot anywhere. Lynn also knows how to get things done, and most importantly, what can be done for each of her guests. So depending on the type of person you are she’ll sort you out with the matching activity. The atmosphere in the riad was in fact so lovely that with all the wonders of the medina waiting for me outside the riad’s walls I decided to spend much of the next day in my djellaba and not leave the riad at all. After a Berber breakfast with an amazing omelet and fruit salad I ventured up onto the rooftop terrace to enjoy the sun.
In the late afternoon, the sun was starting to descend somewhere in the distance of the Atlas mountains. I ventured out into the Medina, sneaking through little alleyways, tunnels, zig zagging through the maze, passing hundreds of confident locals who all knew where they were going. So did I, or rather, I knew where I wanted to end up at some point: la place.
Through a soukh, past the butchers, a left turn after the leather shops, then past the chickens, crossing the jewelers, into a courtyard and through a car shop, I ended up somehow, miraculously in the busy center of it all, Jamaa el Fna. This is a place where everyone wants your attention: orange juice vendors, snake charmers and medicine men. The sights and sounds, all the busy hustle and bustle can make you dizzy. After a short while I longed for my quiet and peaceful oasis that is Riad Farnatchi. Too bad I couldn’t find it anymore. But that, too, is another story.

A virtual data area (VDR) is certainly a secure repository that allows firms to share docs and data files with interested parties, getting rid of the need to magazine and transport physical clones. VDRs are used in many diverse business functions, including M&A, due diligence, capital raising, and building strategic partnerships. They are also useful for research and development projects, boardroom communication, and legal operate.
When choosing a VDR, consider the provider’s security procedures. Make sure that system is protected in storage area and in flow and seems to have granular consumer permissions with audit tracks. Additionally , look for features such as view-only watermarks and NDA pop-ups. You should be able to revoke access to papers even whenever they have been downloaded, and find out whether or not the provider offers extra verification tools like SMS or biometric verification.
Another important interest when picking out a VDR is definitely its cost. The upfront costs of an VDR may appear expensive, nevertheless the peace of mind that accompany knowing that your data is secure could be worth it. Furthermore, VDRs conserve organizations money in the long run by lowering travel bills and the need to reprint docs that are not needed anymore.
When choosing a vendor, go through customer feedback about software assessment platforms just like Capterra and G2. A lot more positive reviews a VDR gets, a lot more likely it is to always be reliable. You may also ask for suggestions from acquaintances and peers to see what they’ve had to say of their experiences Web Site with particular vendors. | <urn:uuid:1aa83c4e-128a-42ad-8574-47475b1a77df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.dkdindia.com/deciding-on-a-virtual-data-room/ | 2023-09-27T12:02:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.952156 | 322 |

Abre los ojos
A guest post by fellow language educator, Adam Samuel.
My tri-weekly run usually takes me past the fish auction house and past the salt fields Las Salinas in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where I live, right in the south of Spain and roughly an hour from Morocco. Depending on the time you run, you are bound to get a different perspective, as your mind focuses on different things and your senses do too – for example the smell of fresh fish. I have now run this route about 20 times and every time I notice something which I haven’t seen before.
On a mild Tuesday afternoon, as I was running past the fisherman in Bonanza unloading the fish from their trawlers, I thought about two important things – partly influenced by the personal development podcast I was tuned into. Firstly, in order to progress you have to be moving. Looking down at my feet, there was no question that I was fulfilling this part.
Secondly, you need to be observant rather than have tunnel vision. I realised that these two points are also key ingredients of being a successful language learner. Everywhere, I fix my gaze; there are clues into the culture of the area and stimuli in Spanish, in the way of signs that provide a challenge to the linguistic part of the brain.
The name Bonanza, meaning prosperity, which is the historic part of Sanlúcar that I have grown to know so well from my runs, is not – unfortunately – synonymous with the economic climate in this area. Perhaps several years ago this area provided a substantial part of the income, being a fishing port and the area where fish is brought in and then sold to the pesacaderias (fishmongers).
In fact, Columbus set sail from here on his third voyage followed not long after in 1519 by Fernando Magellan. Now, this once thriving area is like an unpolished gem. Many of its buildings are falling apart or for sale something I picked up on when I saw the En Venta (For Sale) signs everywhere. Nevertheless, fishermen continue to ply their trade here and when they are not working, spend their time sharing a manzanilla sherry or another alcoholic beverage with their comrades whilst they either watch football, eat or play cards.
Before I get to this part of town I never fail to notice the shipyard. You can´t miss it. There are three huge ships jutting out with the word Astilleros (shipyard) emblazoned on the wall in large painted letters. I gathered this meant shipyard and was correct when I checked the dictionary upon my arrival home. The word for doorbell, timbre, is also obvious as it is written with a symbol above it next to the entrance to the shipyard. Some of these signs are clearer than others and it doesn’t take too much guessing as to what they mean.
Like my body when I go running every week, my mind is also constantly working and this, together with a bit of enthusiasm and curiosity, hopefully means I am bound to learn something new every time I put on my trainers. | <urn:uuid:e58783b0-38bd-4f50-89fc-2085041d5a9c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.esperanzaeducation.ca/blog/learning/language-learning-opportunities-around | 2023-09-27T12:50:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969043 | 646 |

***This listing is for the pattern only! All pictures shown are created using this pattern, not the actual item for sale***
I was inspired to design a special scarf that will be easy enough for beginners, yet steering away from the regular rectangular look. This Ruffle Wave Scarf is much easier than it looks, using only knit & purl and two different sized needles making it an ideal project for anyone who wants to learn how to knit.

On Monday he Said he would Cut my God damn Throat if I did not take of my Clothes & go to work I was coming to town I left & he followed me Some way but went back.
[Murfreesboro, Tenn., May 2, 1866]
Harvey Pitman Sworn, Says I was present on Saturday morning & saw the affair between Allen & Mr Payne– P said he would start them who wouldnt work after 12 Oclock. (we have the half of every Saturday) & if they didnt work they shouldnt eat his provisions Allen Said “Mr Payne Sam Neal nor any other man shant hit my wife” Payne Said I'll knock your God dam brains out with a Rock & took up a Rock Allen walked of & stopped near the Wood pile Payne said what do you stop where the Axe is for do you intend to hit me with it? Allen Said No Sir I did not think about the Axe– Payne then took up the axe & Said if you do not shut up your mouth I'll Chop Your God damn head open with this axe Allen then went to his Cabin I heard Payne Say to Allen on Monday morning if you dont get out of here Ill cut your God Damn throat Allen went toward town
Tell the Bureau he may Kiss my ass He said to Allen “if you live in this country after this I'll give you my head”
Sam Robinson Sworn Says. Harvey Pitman has stated the facts correctly I was present & saw & heard all that passed on Saturday morning between Allen & Mr Payne & I was present on Monday & heard all that passed between Allen & Payne & Saw Payne put his hand in his pocket to take out his knife & heard him say he would Cut his god damn throat Payne has been in the habit of beating & abusing the hands.
Payne acknowledged the Charge & said he had a right to do as he did & he would do it at any time if any man interfered with his right to order Sam Neal to do any thing he took it as a threat on him & Sam Neal both
Supt. endeavored to give defendant some good advice about governing his temper when he Commenced a Series of Curses on the Supt & Said “if you will come out in the middle of the street God damn you I'll show you what I'll do”
Supt fined Payne 50 Dollars which he refused to pay & left–no Constable or Guards being on hand
Statement of Allen Cleveland, [30 Apr.? 1866], and proceedings in a case against Andrew B Payne, [2 May 1866], both filed with statement of John Seage, [2 May 1866], S-194 1866, Registered Letters Received, series 3379, TN Assistant Commissioner, Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, & Abandoned Lands, Record Group 105, National Archives. In the same file is a summons dated April 30, 1866, and signed by Seage as Freedmen's Bureau superintendent for Rutherford County; it ordered Andrew Payne to “appear before the Court of this Bureau” on Wednesday, May 2, to answer a charge of “threat to kill” Allen Cleveland. Following the trial, Seage forwarded Cleveland's statement, the summons, and the proceedings to the headquarters of the Freedmen's Bureau assistant commissioner for Kentucky and Tennessee, together with the following account of Payne's “most insulting” conduct at his office: “[H]e paced the floor & stamped his feet & Grinned his teeth at me He damned the bureau & said ‘stick on your fine damn you I am full of money’ I replied ‘Mr Payne it has not been my intention to fine you at all I have done that twice allready for brutally Beating colored people I had intended to bind you over to keep the peace for 1 year But from your abuse & general conduct I shall fine you 50 Dollars’ he replied I'll be God damned if I pay it & left the Office–” Payne's “General Character . . . is very bad for Gambling Drunkness & Licenciousness,” Seage added. “[H]e is ever engaged in fights & is dreaded by the Colored people every where in that nieghbrood.” A notation made at the assistant commissioner's headquarters reads “file for the present.”

This first in a series of all-church meetings will begin to explore how to take concrete steps towards implementing the mission and the means to fulfill God's plan for United Methodism in Middletown. John Parent, our Church Council Chairperson, will chair the meeting, and we will be able to shift to acting as a voting Church Council quickly as required to make important decisions. Our new Lay Leader Debbie Camp and Pastor Barbara Marks will also be helping to lead the meeting, listening to your voices and helping to lead us towards the promising future that God has prepared for us. Seminarian Associate John Blossom will provide presentation materials to help frame and moderate the discussion. All voices will be heard without dominance and with respect and good moderation, so that we can begin the work of discerning the way forward through the exciting opportunities that lay before us.
Our mission is the key focus of this first meeting, but we will also be discerning how to move in a deliberate and committed way to defining the mission fields and the means to fulfill our mission. Bring yourself, your ideas, your hopes, your dreams, open hearts, and open minds. May God help us to do the rest, for in God, all things are possible, indeed! | <urn:uuid:f81ccf22-74bd-47ef-90b7-c4250f95d8d8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.fumcmiddletownct.org/latest-news/want-to-shape-our-future-your-voice-matters | 2023-09-27T12:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.944345 | 249 |
Statistical examination was performed with the Kruskal-Wallis test, and mutations (carrier, n?=?9, closed square) and those without mutations (noncarrier, n?=?23). further MLN4924 (Pevonedistat) significant decrease of p3-Alc caused by aberrant -secretase activity may accelerate pathogenesis in AD. value are indicated. Abbreviations: Alc, Alcadein ; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; sELISA, sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; A, amyloid . 3.3. Age-dependent decrease of Alc expression in the brain of monkeys Regardless MLN4924 (Pevonedistat) of the nonCaggregation-prone properties of p3-Alc peptides, p3-Alc levels decreased in CSF in an age-dependent manner (Fig.?2A) and the MLN4924 (Pevonedistat) cause is likely to be different from that decreasing the A level in CSF (Fig.?2B). Thus, we explored the protein levels of Alc and the APP in the monkey brain. The Alc levels in the brain significantly decreased with age, although some individual differences are observed. In contrast to this, age-related decrease in the APP level was not significant (Fig.?3). The decrease in the p3-Alc level in CSF may be due to the remarkable decrease of Alc expression in neurons, and again, the decrease of A level in CSF is largely caused by brain accumulation [31,34]. Open in a separate window Fig.?3 Age-dependent changes of Alc and APP expression in the MLN4924 (Pevonedistat) monkey brain.(A) Protein levels of Alc and the APP in the temporal cortices of various aged cynomolgus monkeys. Brain lysates (10?g protein) were analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-Alc and anti-APP antibodies, along with the antiCflotillin-1 antibody. (B, C) Band densities of Alc and APP were quantified and normalized against the amount of flotillin-1. Relative ratios for Alc (B) and APP (C) were plotted versus age. Open symbols indicate samples shown in panel (A). Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson’s correction, and significance with gene mutations. CSF p3-Alc37 (A) and p3-Alc40 (B) levels were compared among non-AD controls (n?=?117), patients with MCI (n?=?44) and patients with AD (n?=?76) subjects. The summary of subjects and results is usually shown in Tables?1, and Supplementary Tables?1 and 2. Statistical examination was performed with the Kruskal-Wallis test, and mutations (carrier, n?=?9, closed square) and those without mutations (noncarrier, n?=?23). The summary of subjects is Prkd1 usually shown in Supplementary Table?3. Noncarriers (average age 42) include family members of carriers (n?=?16, closed circle) and subjects carrying APP gene mutation (n?=?7, open circle). Statistical examination was performed by Mann-Whitney U test, and gene mutations (Fig.?4C). Given the limited amounts and numbers of samples, we only examined p3-Alc37 levels. p3-Alc37 levels in the CSF of gene mutation carriers (n?=?9) (H163R, S169L, Q222H, M233T, S290C) were compared with p3-Alc37 levels in the CSF of noncarrier subjects from the same families (n?=?16), as well as subjects who carry gene mutations (n?=?7) (E963Q and V717L) (Fig.?4C). Although it is usually difficult to compare these in same age subjects, and A levels were not measured, the CSF from gene mutation carriers showed significantly reduced p3-Alc37 levels compared with the CSF from the noncarrier subjects. A summary of study subject information is usually shown (Supplementary Table?3). Interestingly, seven of nine carrier subjects remained in a nondemented state (CDR 0), suggesting that the decrease in the CSF p3-Alc37 level begins at a prodromal stage before MCI. The results suggest that alteration of -secretase activity by disease-causative mutations of the gene also induce further the reduction in p3-Alc37 levels in the CSF of individuals along with the decrease of Alc expression. 3.6. Inverse modulation of -secretase activity decreases the production of p3-Alc37 and increases the generation of A42 The decrease in p3-Alc in the CSF of aged subjects may be due to a reduction of Alc protein expression in the brain (Figs. 2 and ?and3).3). However, the alteration of -secretase activity is MLN4924 (Pevonedistat) also suggested to decrease p3-Alc37 (Fig.?4C). In familial AD (FAD) subjects who carry dominant or gene mutations, A42 generation increases, and this is usually accompanied by a decrease in A38 generation, which is due to the impaired peptidase-like activity of -secretase . Therefore, impaired or attenuated activity of -secretase may increase the generation of A42 in some patients with sporadic AD who do not carry FAD-linked or gene mutations, although the levels of A42 in CSF are lowered because of A deposition in the brain. Such altered -secretase activity has been observed in sporadic cases [22,38] and can be induced in cells by. | <urn:uuid:bac2bc77-3622-420c-926e-38581e67763b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.geogise.com/2022/04/19/%EF%BB%BFstatistical-examination-was-performed-with-the-kruskal-wallis-test-and-mutations-carrier-n9-closed-square-and-those-without-mutations-noncarrier-n23/ | 2023-09-27T12:23:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.917198 | 1,221 |

Things of Middle-earth
Other Names: Goblin-cleaver, Biter
Sword manufactured in Gondolin and taken as war spoil by the creatures of Morgoth in the First Age. It was found again in III 2941 by Thorin Oakenshield, who wielded it on the journey to Erebor and the Battle of Five Armies. It was buried with him after his death in that battle.
Then the stone door swung back with one big push, and they all went inside. There were bones on the floor and a nasty smell was in the air; but there was a good deal of food jumbled carelessly on shelves and on the ground, among an untidy litter of plunder, of all sorts from brass buttons to pots full of gold coins standing in a corner. There were lots of clothes, too, hanging on the walls -- too small for trolls, I am afraid they belonged to victims -- and among them were several swords of various makes, shapes, and sizes. Two caught their eyes particularly, because of their beautiful scabbards and jewelled hilts. Gandalf and Thorin each took one of these; and Bilbo took a knife in a leather sheath. ...
'These look like good blades,' said the wizard, half drawing them and looking at them curiously. 'They were not made by any troll, nor by any smith among men in these parts and days; but when we can read the runes on them, we shall know more about them.'
The Hobbit, Ch 2, Roast Mutton
Elrond knew all about runes of every kind. That day he looked at the swords they had brought from the trolls' lair, and he said: 'They are old swords, very old swords of the High Elves of the West, my kin. They were made in Gondolin for the Goblin-wars. They must have come from a dragon's hoard or goblin plunder, for dragons and goblins destroyed that city many ages ago. This, Thorin, the runes name Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver in the ancient tongue of Gondolin; it was a famous blade.'
The Hobbit, Ch 3 A Short Rest
'He is a liar, O truly tremendous one!' said one of the drivers. 'Several of our people were struck by lightning in the cave, when we invited these creatures to come below; and they are as dead as stones. Also he has not explained this!' He held out the sword which Thorin had worn, the sword which came from the Trolls' lair.
The Great Goblin gave a truly awful howl of rage when he looked at it, and all his soldiers gnashed their teeth, clashed their shields, and stamped. They knew the sword at once. It had killed hundreds of goblins in its time, when the fair elves of Gondolin hunted them in the hills or did battle before their walls. They had called it Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver, but the goblins called it simply Biter. They hated it and hated worse any one that carried it.
The Hobbit, Ch 4 Over Hill and Under Hill
Upon his tomb the Elvenking then laid Orcrist, the elvish sword that had been taken from Thorin in captivity. It is said in songs that it gleamed ever in the dark if foes approached, and the fortress of the dwarves could not be taken by surprise.
The Hobbit, Ch 18 The Return Journey

Battery storage systems are used in energy storage of weather dependent renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy. Battery storage systems are also an integral component in microgrid systems, which can redistribute power when a major power outage occurs. The utility can use the microgrid to redistribute power to hospitals and first responders during the power outage.
The Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most frequently used battery storage system employed by the utilities. However; new storage systems such as the Zinc-Bromide (“Flow”), Sodium Nickel Chloride and Manganese-Hydrogen batteries are now entering the marketplace.
Another new, more effective storage system may soon be entering the marketplace. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers has reported that power can be stored in the form of hydrogen for longer periods of time than lithium-ion batteries. Excess electricity generated from wind farms or solar parks can be used in an electrolysis process to create hydrogen, which can be stored in the natural gas grid until needed by utilities.
Electricity storage systems are essential for the continued growth in renewable energy around the world. In my opinion, the evolution of energy storage systems is the most important factor in the global reduction of greenhouse gases. Improvements in energy storage systems will accelerate the move from combustion engines to electric vehicles and the move from coal fueled power plants to wind farms and solar parks. | <urn:uuid:d9a80043-0a56-42b0-9219-f671d59fc132> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.jackkerfoot.com/2018/05/evolving-battery-storage-systems/ | 2023-09-27T12:42:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.931917 | 279 |

h2. here’s a valve based preamplifier in the works.
those little glass envelopes can sure be fun… takes loads and loads of testing and tweaking at high-volume… but thankfully the neighbour has been pounding on the wall when the sound gets to be just perfect. (thanks bob.)
much of this stuff here has been salvaged from old television set and a bit of mysterious military transceiver equipment.
there were some bad buzzes in there… on 1 channel but not the other oddly enough…
…dedicated powersupply with more current and cleaner power for the heaters was in fact the solution.
so now it’s 2 channels with the good kind of quiet. (and the nice wicked-loud i should mention)
only one mighty shock from the dc power so far… felt a bit like a pysio machine…
not so bad for 350 – 400 volts actually…
but do remember kids, involuntary muscle contractions can be dangerous… so play safe, etc. | <urn:uuid:6f9a53b3-f25d-452e-bba1-da9238478d76> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.mediumrecords.com/random/2007/07/11/volta/ | 2023-09-27T11:59:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.895298 | 301 |
About Hong Kong
Hong Kong is situated at the Southeast coast of China, becoming one of the world’s most thriving and cosmopolitan cities due to the strategic location. It became a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China in 1997, allowing the city to gain independence, maintaining its capitalist system, independent judiciary and rule of law, free trade and freedom of speech.
Hong Kong served as a centre of international trade, connecting the world together. A significant volume of exports is transported through Hong Kong from China to the rest of the world everyday. Not only famous as a port, the city is a leading financial centre in East Asia with the presence of various local and well known banks from around the world.
A fusion of West and East, combination of traditional and the modern life, Hong Kong is a major destination for business and leisure.

Gioacchino ROSSINI (1792-1868)
La Cenerentola (1817) [144.57]
Teresa Berganza (mezzo-soprano: Angelina), Luigi Alva (tenor: Ramiro), Renato Capecchi (baritone: Dandini), Paolo Montarsolo (bass: Magnifico), Ugo Trama (bass: Alidoro), Margherita Guglielmi (soprano: Clorinda), Laura Zannini (mezzo-soprano: Tisbe),
Scottish Opera Chorus
London Symphony Orchestra/Claudio Abbado
rec. George Watson’s College, Edinburgh, September 1971
DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON 459 448-2 [73.57 + 71.00]
When this recording of Rossini’s La cenerentola first appeared in 1972 it was a landmark in the history of the opera’s career on disc. Previous recordings, whether in mono or stereo, had suffered from one or the other of two major disadvantages. Either they had been heavily truncated, or subjected to other editorial amendments which meant that they were far removed from Rossini’s original score; the celebrated EMI mono set from Glyndebourne in the 1950s conducted by Vittorio Gui suffered from this. Or they had been recorded with singers, celebrated in their own field, who had limited abilities in the field of Rossinian coloratura; Guilietta Simionato, one of the greatest Italian mezzos of her generation, appeared in a superlatively recorded Decca set where she comprehensively failed to come to terms with the polished style of singing required (which was supplied by several of her fellow-singers). Claudio Abbado had the advantage of a cast thoroughly schooled in the correct method of delivery for Rossini, and at the same time a comprehensively overhauled edition of the score provided by Alberto Zedda, who was later himself to prove a superbly talented Rossini conductor.
In recent years the supply of singers who can manage the Rossini vocal line has multiplied by leaps and bounds, and recordings both on video and CD have blossomed in profusion. Looking back now at this Abbado set, one can appreciate the advance that it represented while continuing to note that there was still evident a degree of caution in the approach to the music. Concern for accuracy seems to have predominated over the sheer sense of comic enjoyment that should surely also form an essential part of the Rossinian mix. Teresa Berganza in particular, who enjoyed a deserved reputation in the forefront of Rossini singers of her generation, is a very demure and polite Cinderella without the slight pushiness that can make the role so subtly differentiated, and which is represented in more recent recordings by such Cecilia Bartoli or Agnes Baltsa. Luigi Alva as her Prince Charming, a well-established Mozartian in his day, seems more concerned to deliver his lines with pin-point accuracy (and a hint of staccato) which sounds slightly wiry by comparison with the richer lyricism we expect nowadays (and heard in the old Simionato set from the underestimated Ugo Benelli). Renato Capecchi and Paolo Montarsolo are representatives of the good old school of comic baritones and basses, Ugo Trama standing slightly apart with a sense of wry amusement. The orchestra is rather heavy by modern expectations, but Abbado keeps the textures light and the chorus make a lively impression. (Why do we hear so little on disc nowadays of the Scottish and Welsh National Opera choruses?) It almost seems odd nowadays to hear a harpsichord continuo rather than a fortepiano, but then this recording was made nearly half a century ago.
Some ten years after this recording, Abbado returned to La Cenerentola with what was then his La Scala orchestra for an imaginatively filmed version of the opera directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle with Frederica von Stade in the title role. Ponnelle could be maddeningly perverse in some of his productions, but this was one of his most enjoyable romps although the sound, which distinctly favours the voices over the orchestra, sounds somewhat dated nowadays. Many later audio recordings of the score derive from live theatrical presentations, and suffer consequently from audience laughter which can prove annoying when it results from visual jokes (inexplicable to the listener) and can obscure the music. This was a particular problem with the more recent audio Glyndebourne set of the Peter Hall production, as I lamented when I reviewed that in 2013.
But there have been several modern studio recordings conducted by Sir Neville Marriner, Carlo Rizzi and Riccardo Chailly (the last with Cecilia Bartoli, who fits the title role as to the manner born, and also features with many of the same cast in a video version conducted by Bruno Campanella).
Nonetheless, as a historical document and in many ways a milestone in the interpretation of this opera, this set deserves to retain its place in the catalogue. There may continue to be arguments about the merits of performance over the years in the field of Verdi and Wagner, but it cannot be denied that opera house standards in Rossini have continued to improve – at least in the instances where the efforts of singers on stage have not been sabotaged by ‘cleverly innovative’ producers. The presentation of this Presto release, taken from mid-price DG originals, is pretty basic – track listings plus synopses in English, German and French – but these synopses extend for some four pages, so giving the listener a fairly good idea of the plot as it develops. Text and translations are in any event readily available online (not that this excuses DG for their failure to provide such information in the case of rarer operas, such as I noted last year with the Presto reissue of Penella’s El gato montes). The recording itself remains in excellent sound.

That’s right, I said it. Introverts rock at networking. It’s true. Introverts can actually be better at networking than extroverts.
Shocked, are you? “What’s the catch?” you ask?
Here it is: Introverts rock at networking when they do it by embracing their natural strengths. This means that the path to good networking for an introvert is not, as many would have it, for them to act more like extroverts. No, indeed. It’s for them to take the things they are good at as introverts and apply those qualities to the business of building connections.
Introverts do their homework
For example, introverts tend to be better at doing their homework, both before and after in-person interactions. So if they’re going for coffee with a new connection, introverts are more likely to do a little research on the person, review their correspondence to date, and be prepared to have a really engaging and meaningful talk when they do come face to face. After the meeting, they are also the ones with the skills to follow up, follow through, and keep in touch. That’s some valuable stuff right there.
Introverts rock the one-on-one
Introverts also tend to prefer deeper one on one conversations to working a room. This means that in a group setting, while an extrovert might talk to more people and make more contacts, an introvert might only talk to one or two, but those conversations will be longer and deeper, and more likely to lead to meaningful long term connection.
Introverts need their recharge time
Another key to being a networking introvert is to allow for the reality that social interaction can be very draining. If you’re an introvert, it might not be sustainable to be around people all day. You will get burned out, overwhelmed, and lose your ability to make connections.
As an introvert, it’s important to monitor your energy level and tap out for some re-energizing alone time when you need it. Even if, say, you’re at a conference where there is programming 12 hours a day, it might not be the best idea to try to attend all of it. You will probably be more effective if you bail on a session or an event here and there to maintain your energy reserves.
Resources for introverts
I recently discovered a book that explores this subject really beautifully. Networking for People Who Hate Networking is a great read for anyone who feels like they are just not built for networking in the conventional way. I strongly recommend it. | <urn:uuid:9342020d-5829-4318-bf3c-c5ce39a04360> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.nadineriopel.com/introverts-rock-at-networking/?utm_source=Publicate&utm_medium=embed&utm_content=introverts-rock-at-networking&utm_campaign=April+6+blog+roundup | 2023-09-27T10:35:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969527 | 553 |

Are You a Patriot?
September 11, 2008
Today is “Patriot Day”, in memory of the terrorist attacks in the US on September 11, 2001. I’ll never forget that terrible day, and I’m sure you won’t either. Unfortunately, some people have twisted the meaning of the term “patriot”. A patriot is “a proud supporter or defender of his or her country and its way of life”. (Encarta Dictionary) There’s more to patriotism than flying the flag and saying the right words. A patriot should know something about her/his own country’s laws, principles, and customs. A patriot should behave in ways that demonstrate the nation’s values.
Thirty-nine delegates, representing 12 states, signed the US Constitution on September 17, 1787. Now September 17 is called both “Constitution Day” and “Citizenship Day”. September 17 – 23 is “Constitution Week”, a time to reflect on the importance of the constitution and to teach its principles. The constitution is the first law of the United States of America. It created our government and describes the powers and duties of each of its three branches.
The constitution contains America’s most important principles. It limits presidential powers, requires Congress to oversee government operations, and guarantees justice to all residents. All elected officials, all police officers, and other public employees take an oath to uphold the constitution. This means that none of their official acts can violate constitutional principles. However, their actions often contradict that oath.
Wearing a flag lapel pin while cutting health care for wounded war veterans does not make you a patriot.
It makes you a hypocrite.
Ridiculing the people who devote their lives to helping your poorest citizens in your poorest communities does not make you a patriot. It makes you a selfish, arrogant snob.
Voting for legislation that violates the constitution does not make you a patriot. It makes you a traitor.
Torturing prisoners does not make you a patriot. It makes you an animal.
America’s founders spent a lot of time trying to get it just right. They neglected their homes, their families, and their work to create something that would benefit all of us – even today. It’s not perfect, but it is remarkable.
This is the preamble, or introduction:
We, the people of the United States, in order to
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The rest of the document describes the structure of our government. The first ten amendments – The Bill of Rights – list our personal rights. These are the rules that our government is supposed to preserve, protect, and defend.
You can find the entire text in many books and Web sites. I’ve listed some below.
I don’t know why so many Americans – including most of our elected representatives – think it’s acceptable to ignore these principles. We can protect America without abandoning the ideals that make us American. It’s time for our elected officials to do it.

Remembering on Memorial Day
By John LaForge
“I am a pacifist. You, my fellow citizens … are pacifists, too.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt, May 1940
Benjamin Franklin said, there never was a good war or a bad peace, but you’d never know it from Memorial Day in the United States.
The fact that the US government has lost every major war it initiated since World War Two ? Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq Again – is not going to be reported by the news anchors. Instead someone with his finger on the button will invoke the glory of Good God by to bless the war dead. Even the grim oblivion of unknown soldiers lost will be presented by the president as somehow full of dignified solemnity, while their survivors look away through a veil of ambiguous loss and unassuaged grief forever.
No combat veteran I ever met sings the praises of the going war with our bombs bursting in air. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman said, “War is at best barbarism… Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.”
Modern US wars are dogged by so much crime and abuse ? from killing millions of civilians in Korea and Southeast Asia, to the torturing of POWs instigated by Bush and Cheney and continuing with the torture-feeding of shackled prisoners under Obama, to the pandemics of rape and suicide among active service members and veterans – that Memorial Day looks today like a masquerade, a bizarre Kabuki Dance with festooned members of Congress, the Joint Chiefs and the White Housers stifling their smirks while the parade passes.
On television there will be the millionaires’ farce of giant war profiteers Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Maytag, General Dynamics, General Electric, General Motors, Bell Helicopter, Unysis, Aerojet, Raytheon, MIT, Alliant Techsystems, etc., running ads to convince viewers that they themselves are public-spirited corporations, and the dead and wounded weren’t maimed for a nickel mine, a helicopter company, a munitions factory, an oil field, pipeline or shipbuilder. With a $700 billion military budget, and the revolving door spinning between the General Staff and the board rooms of the weapons builders, it’s clear that President Eisenhower didn’t get his wish when he warned, “I don’t want people who have a financial stake in crisis and tensions to have a voice in national policy.”
It has been reported by members of the Duluth, Minn.-area Veterans for Peace, Chapter 80, that their peace group’s float has been barred from participating in the town’s Memorial Day parade.
It is not likely that the Northland Veterans Services Committee, which organizes Duluth’s parade, approves of indefinite detention without charges, abusing POWs at Guantanamo Bay, bombing shepherds in Iraq, or strafing villagers in Afghanistan. But what about the “stupidities that breed war” and the “chicaneries that sell the war spirit” as Robert Lynd called them in Revolt Against War in 1937. It’s chicanery to exclude any military veteran from the parade.
It is the causes of war that the Veterans for Peace want us to consider and grapple with, especially on Memorial Day, so as the colors roll by and the Clergy and the Congressmen pay homage to the latest Just War Theory, we might try and force ourselves to remember that war is always a gory, senseless slaughter and, nowadays, mostly of innocent bystanders.

Some pretty good writing today. I re-wrote most of what I'd done yesterday. It's better: simultaneously more sf-ish and more plausible (something you can't always manage), while also being quicker and tighter. Plus, it now has a better segue into the next scene. I'm pleased. I did most of that over lunch. I made just a bit of progress this evening, beginning that next scene. It's at 3750, so the net new words are 220, but it's more like half again that in terms of words written today.
It was a grey day today here: cloudy, cool, kinda gloomy. I'll take the sun, even when it means taking the heat too. It was good sleeping weather last night, though.
At work I produced a quick draft of the next document. One good thing about writing documents at work is that I know who my audience is. There are a few people who need to approve each document, plus a few others who have to use it. If the document works for them it's a success. If it doesn't work, they can give it back to you and say, "Fix this and this." Fiction writers don't get much of that. (And it isn't just the editors being mean or even too busy to respond. It is rarely clear how to fix a broken story.) | <urn:uuid:e7081d02-55f3-46df-921d-e068a7d82d6d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.philipbrewer.net/Journal/2001/2001-08-16.php | 2023-09-27T12:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.986247 | 285 |
If the Greek government is finally able to form after the June 17th elections, and they choose to force austerity on the people... The public will revolt. They are too addicted to their government money. If Greece does not accept austerity, and it looks like it won't as Alexis Tsipras has a lot of momentum, then their only real option is to revert to the Drachma. Which will immediately cause hyper-inflation as no lending institution in their right mind would accept Greek denominated currency. I would be surprised if Merkel and company let Greece continue down the path it has followed up until this point.
So, as the people of Greece sit on the street starving because their currency is worthless, will they finally realize that they have to work for their income? Will they finally realize the government cannot provide their every need when they do no work?
Here's a great quote at the end of the article:
"Oddly, I can say that in many ways my Greek experience gave me wonderful opportunities. Nonetheless, my epiphany came when Greece's economic collapse and the government's implosion revealed just how reliant on the government we are, and just how vulnerable to government mismanagement we are."If the Greek economy collapses, will Americans and Europeans alike comprehend the reason? Will we recognize that big government is a failed experiment? | <urn:uuid:491d4b3a-bda1-4f99-8e4d-ed813a99ae2c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.pragmolitics.com/2012/05/greek-crisis.html | 2023-09-27T11:05:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.972134 | 271 |

Tale of the Local Rat…
Our prevailing wage “rat” photo op was courtesy of the UFCW’s protest display on Hwy 35 in Eatontown. One of the union’s representitives explained the backstory of Lidl and its German roots. Noting, that he fears lack of unionization here, could be the start of a downward slide for working conditions and wages of employees of all local grocers. Their hope is to gather momentum for a bargining agreement with the retailer. The protesters were receiving a large amount of support from passing motorists. Quick research shows that the bulk of their (Lidl) European operations are unionized. If their wiki is to be believed… It’s certainly an oddly run company. By comparison, their Aldi competition seems tame.
Lastly, there seems to be no truth behind the urban legend that Aldi & Lidl suffer from sibling rivalry, as the owners are not actually brothers in fierce competition. But the businesses certainly are. Russia’s Mere is also on the way.
Forbes magazine, had this to say about the influx of German Supermarkets. | <urn:uuid:f18a738e-60fa-4565-9e43-4d8f8e83acfe> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.seabrightwatch.com/lidl-rats/ | 2023-09-27T12:39:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969548 | 238 |
Thanks For The Abuse
Our story, spans 15 laborious years. It encapsulates dozens of professionals — local, state, federal officials, and us —the two victims of all their actions and inaction. Because of this protracted time-frame and the numerous interactions, we have an abundance of stories in post-format, outlining the most egregious events.
Any attempt to summarize these events, is truly folly. However, here is our valiant endeavor in two paragraphs, just to get you started…
We, unwittingly, purchased a house that repeatedly flooded, almost monthly. After some time and significant research, we discovered a Federally-sponsored Grant program, to aid us in mitigating the flooding (and therefore the insurance claims). Thankfully, we were approved! We actually felt saved! Then, a prominent municipal engineering firm —retained by our local government — stepped in, under the guise of providing professional management to our mitigation grant. They immediately appointed more professionals. Sadly, without our knowledge or consent — they surprisingly reallocated more than a third of the grant funds to themselves! This deception, resulted in a lack of funding for the actual mitigation/construction, so they attempted to strong-arm the low bidder into completing the project at a loss. Surprisingly, the low bidder outsmarted them. He actually forced them to pay him for substandard, life-endangering work. Work, specified in his contract, that he didn’t actually perform! All of this, while stealing money from us; money that we personally and contractually paid him for — to perform additional work, outside of his contract with the government.
The gathering of the “professionals”
Jumping ahead… When we finally were allowed back to our home for a walk-through, we were told that there would be a few items needing to be finished. Interesingly, upon entering the home, the engineer had to catch herself from falling, as she stepped inside the house. The floors were so severely sloped, that she nearly fell down. After the walk-through, the amount of deficiencies, damages and overall list of problems were so vast, that it became apparent that it was beyond the ability or desire of the builder to actually repair any of this mess, that he created. So, as contractually allowed, we requested that they replace the builder with competent one. Unfortunately, for us — this resulted in a negative response from the local government, the engineering firm, the architect, and the builder. They collectively enjoined in a lawsuit and came after us. Physically and financially unable to fight off their legal tactics, they prevailed in court —thereby able to pay all of their parties, without repairing our home. This resulted in their lack of recouping the federal funds from the grant. Distastefully, they would attempt to finally make it right, over 8 years later. They offered to displace us, once again and would provide another substantially low bidder, to execute the repairs of the damage they caused and inflicted upon us. This candidate clearly lacked any real knowledge of the overall scope of the project and how to actually execute repairs, resulting in his agitation. Yet, they insisted in writing, that we agree to be liable for any costs they didn’t estimate for…. Really?
The following posts —though somewhat incongruous and sometimes repetitive, or overlapping — relate our diary of events throughout the government’s elevation of our home.
Honestly this was better!

Such a cute creature ... but what a devil to photgraph! Unfortunately this is the best that I could do. I think it is perhaps Madrella ?. When I tried to move it, a mustard coloured fluid came out of it and it stained my fingers.

Yes this is indeed a Madrella, probably Madrella ferruginosa. There is an interesting puzzle surrounding the large brownish tropical form and a bright red fprm from southern Australia which is named Madrella sanguinea. There is very little anatomically to separate the two and it will probably need a better understanding of the biology of the two to know whether they are two distinct species or not. If they prove the same then the name M. sanguinea is three months older than M. ferruginosa, both being named in 1864.
The yellow substance that dyed your fingers is exuded by glands or sacs at the base of each ceras. Both species produce this substance which is probably from the bryozoans they feed on. And yes they are very difficult to photograph.

Director: Otto Preminger
Writers: Screenplay by Ben Hecht, “Adaptation by Victor Trivas, Frank P. Rosenberg and Robert E. Kent”, from a novel by William L. Stuart
Stars: Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, Gary Merrill, Bert Freed, Karl Malden
The Story: Andrews already has one brutality-complaint too many against him, so he’s really in a jam when he punches out a war hero with a plate in his head who falls down dead. He tries to pin the body on a sleazy mobster, but accidentally frames the cabbie father of the one woman who understands him.
How it Came to be Underrated: This movie has always suffered in comparison to an earlier noir with same leads and director, Laura. That classic is a glossy high-end noir, while this one was a low-budget quickie, so it never could match up.
Why It’s Great:
- Like Edward Dmytryk or Anthony Mann, Preminger was brilliant at making little movies that didn’t cost much money, but lost a lot of his artistry when it came to the big prestige epics that Hollywood preferred him to make. Watching this hard little 94 minute gem, it’s hard to believe that Preminger would soon be routinely turning in cuts that were twice that length.
- One of the sub-genres of noir was the police procedural, where we would methodically follow each and every step on the circuitous route to solving a case. This is a little different: it’s the first police brutality procedural, calmly tracing each slippery step of a beating and botched cover-up. At the time, you might get the occasional movie where one bad cop was “on the take”, but how many movies from this era can you name where police brutality wasn’t just some scam made up by crooks trying to score sympathy points? Andrews doesn’t play him as a brute, either, just a smart detective who gave in one time too many to his flashes of prideful anger.
- Gary Merrill was most famous for playing second banana to Bette Davis, on and off screen. But he gets a chance to be his own man here, oozing supreme confidence as the original teflon don.
- Andrews and Tierney had such wonderfully poisonous chemistry in Laura. It’s nice to see them recreate it in an ironically sweeter courtship here. In the earlier movie, their relationship seemed doomed by false suspicion. Here they get along fine because of a lack of suspicion that would have been well-warranted.
If You Like This, You Should Also Check Out: Most people just know Tierney from Laura, but this and Leave Her to Heaven prove that she belongs with the best of the noir dames.
How Available Is It?: It’s on DVD and Watch Instantly, which has a very nice print for once.

2011 Siesta Scripture Memory
Hey girls! This year I am going to participate in Living Proof Ministries' "Siesta Scripture Memory" challenge. Over the course of the year I will (attempt) to memorize, and commit to heart, 24 scripture verses.
The challenge is to select 24 verses, two a month, that mean something to you, that you feel led to remember. On the 1st and 15th of each month you post your verse (along with the reference and the translation) on LPM's blog. Then in January 2012, my mom and I are going to the Siesta Scripture Celebration together!! I am going to share my verses on my blog. I think it will help me remember them if I see them on my sidebar.
For the official rules on how you can participate go here.
For me this is going to be a challenge in self discipline, and a challenge to actually remember to post a verse each time. Learning scripture and being able to call upon it, is something I desperately need. I am going to select verses that will hopefully teach me to let go of my worries, my fears and the uncertainty I feel about the future. I'm praying that God leads me to verses that help me let go and get out of my own way to see God working in my life. But I know that anytime spent reading the bible and studying His word can only bless my life (even if I don't memorize 24 verses.)
Go here to post your first verse if you want. | <urn:uuid:ddaebe9b-c78f-4f7c-948d-085d35143839> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.sincerelyshannon.com/2011/01/2011-siesta-scripture-memory.html | 2023-09-27T11:01:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.944624 | 311 |

A hot way to celebrate after game: dancing with cock out in the club
Three weeks ago we saw a soccer team celebrating in the locker room after winning a game: indeed, that’s what we expect to see from a sports team. But there are many ways to celebrate and with today’s video we discover that the possibilities are endless. These footballers are celebrating in a club and one of them dances completely naked, showing off in front of the camera. The strobe light doesn’t allow us to see every detail, but we can at least see that this guy has a hairy dick. Have a drink and enjoy the party with these horny guys! | <urn:uuid:70b34ded-d0ce-4025-9616-e2667e13e0e6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.spycamfromguys.com/sportsmen-naked/naked-football-player-on-the-dancefloor/ | 2023-09-27T12:42:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969618 | 137 |
The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation was established in 2009 by boxing legend and six-time world champion Sugar Ray Leonard and his wife, Bernadette.
The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation is committed to funding research and creating awareness for childhood type 1 & 2 diabetes and to help children lead healthier lives through diet and exercise.
Throughout Leonard’s boxing career, he watched his dad and friends struggle with the many complications of diabetes and how it has affected every aspect of their life. Type 1 diabetes strikes both children and adults at any age. It comes on suddenly, causes dependence on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Type 2 diabetes in children is on the rise, fueled largely by the obesity epidemic. Leonard draws from his personal experience and boxing career to provide inspiration for funding research to combat the disease.
The annual “Big Fighters, Big Cause” Charity Boxing Night, co-hosted by B. Riley & Co., is the Foundation’s premier fundraising event that brings together over 1,500 guests, comprised of C- suite executives from nearly 200 public companies across a range of sectors, leading institutional investors, high net worth individuals, financial services professionals, celebrities, sports legends, and other high-profile individuals. | <urn:uuid:8f78dd43-0d91-48f5-95f7-d1792c65c12d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.sugarrayleonard.com/foundation/ | 2023-09-27T12:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.942194 | 275 |
01) Mono Overdrive 02) Read Eye Open Shut 03) Die Starter 04) Rubix 05) Quell
Tardiss are back with five brand new tracks, keeping with the analogue, Boards of Canada quality we all know and love. “Death City Able” is a structured city-scape. Saw-wave synths, downtempo beats and backwards guitars usher in “Mono Overdrive” in a late night cruise through some deserted downtown metropolis. “Red Eye Open Shut” is a short, melodic ambient synth piece. A dream of other worlds before another day in the bustling city. “Die Starter” mixes lo-fi beats, spoken samples and pulsing, rhythmic synths. Death City Able's daily grind. “Rubix”, another short interlude segues right into “Quell”, the EP's finale. This slow, emotional ride pauses to survey the landscape from on high. This landscape is both of reality and of the mind. Death City Able is a refined continuation of their debut “Behind The Blind,” bringing out the more cinematic moments of their music. | <urn:uuid:864e2e01-09fb-45d6-b9c5-94d4c07ccc2c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.techno-locator.ru/releases/2011/september.html/nid/4677 | 2023-09-27T11:03:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.886793 | 245 |
When it comes to good food and great times, Hamtramck has plenty to offer. In this column, we’ll talk about what’s happening at our bars, restaurants and other events that can be found throughout the city.
By Charles Sercombe
Let’s talk about the blues.
No, not the fact that it seems like everyone has a case of the blues. We’re talking about the blues as in playing and listening to the blues. Hamtramck was once home to one of the longest running blues bars in the metro area, the Attic.
The Attic was closed a few years ago and its space was revamped as Celina’s Sports Bar. We’ve got nothing against Celina’s for gutting the old bar and doing a total makeover. In fact, they did a really great job.
But we miss the Attic.
We also miss Uncle Jesse White, who played there almost every weekend. Uncle Jesse passed away two years ago at the age of 87. God bless his soul.
As a side note, one of the proudest moments for Toast of the Town was sitting in with Uncle Jesse White behind the drum kit. Lemme tell you, playing the blues is trickier than you think, especially with authentic cats like Uncle Jesse.
Because old blues guys like to play around with time signatures. In other words, they are all over place. You really have to listen close to keep up with them. It can be an exhausting challenge to the uninitiated. Uncle Jesse’s regular drummer, “Duke,” made it look so easy.
Those were fun times but truth be told, the blues doesn’t attract much of a crowd. Blues bars tend to attract crusty old guys and basically few to zilch in the hot babes department.
In other words, blues bars don’t make much money.
That’s why the Attic went through one owner after another. Each new owner thought they could turn things around.
So, the upshot is that the blues scene took a huge hit with the closing of the Attic.
But there’s good news. The blues is back in Hamtramck. Kelly’s bar on Holbrook is now the scene of a jumping blues jam. Bar owner Brad Ruff said he didn’t plan on bringing the blues back.
“We kind of stumbled on it by accident,” Ruff said.
Call it a happy accident. A loose jam session has turned into a weekly session.
“Now they (bar patrons) call it the new Attic,” Ruff said.
Speaking of the blues, Ruff looks like a blues cat: he’s got the backward Kangol-style cap, a soul patch on the chin and a raspy voice.
Kelly’s Bar has been struggling in recent years so this shot of blues is a good thing. Ruff said he’s trying to attract more people during the 6 to 9 p.m. time slot by offering kitchen specials, such as 50 cent coneys and $1 beer specials. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday is open mic night but there is also a house band that he swaps out after a few weeks.
“You have to keep it fresh,” Ruff said.
And now, let’s take a break and imagine John Lee Hooker singing, “Boom Boom.”
Boom boom boom boom
I’m gonna shoot you right down,
Right offa your feet
Take you home with me,
Put you in my house
Boom boom boom boom
A-haw haw haw haw
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
I love to see you strut,
Up and down the floor
When you talking to me,
That baby talk
I like it like that
Talk that talk, walk that walk
When she walk that walk,
And talk that talk,
And whisper in my ear,
Tell me that you love me
I love that talk
When you talk like that,
You knocks me out,
Right off of my feet
Hoo hoo hoo
Talk that talk, and walk that walk
As everyone knows, next Wednesday – the day before Thanksgiving – is the biggest bar night. That tradition has grown largely from college kids coming home for the holiday and also because a lot of people have Thanksgiving off so they want to go out and party before having to endure the pain of spending the entire day with their family.
We’re not sure what Hamtramck bars have in store as far as entertainment goes, but we do know that at the New Dodge Lounge it’s the return of The Orbitsons – a high-octane country/punk outfit.
If you do go out next Wednesday, watch out for extra police patrols throughout the metro area. With so many communities struggling financially, they rely on drunken driving arrests to rake in the dough.
Here’s one more plug for a fundraiser this Saturday (Nov. 20) at Hippo’s bar on Conant. Hippo’s is raising money to help fund a Christmas party for the school district’s Special Ed kids. For a mere $6 you can get a kielbasa or a meatball dinner. The party runs from 2 to 6 p.m.
Stop by and have a toast with Toast of the Town.

george fetner is a singer/songwriter from columbia, south carolina. he is involved in a variety of musical projects, but his latest solo album is called 'some things will change'.
george's skillful, new age inflected fingerstyle guitar playing and ear for a unique melody is on display throughout this heartfelt collection. lyrically, these songs seem to be meditations on the emotional and philosophical contradictions we tend to face as we go through life.

Not wanting to join her in fictional weight gain, I "healthified" her idea, using banana soft serve (click for recipe) instead of ice cream. I just used plain banana this time though, and, as the photo shows, I had no Honey Nut Cheerios.
It was a good dessert I felt guilt-free about eating!
Truth be told though, I'm still going to try it her way once I get some vanilla ice cream! The kids are going to flip!

|Yes, this is just bananas, cocoa powder and peanut butter|
Last night I cut up 3 whole bananas into slices about half an inch thick. I stuck them in a freezer bag overnight. This morning I dumped the bananas into the food processor with a dollop (probably about 2 tbsp) natural peanut butter and 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder. Then, I turned on the food processor. It was loud. I let it run a minute or so, and then shut it off. I repeated this a few times, scraping the top occasionally. Then it happened... instead of chopped bananas, the concoction turned creamy and looked JUST LIKE ICE CREAM! I excitedly dished out some for my 2 kids and myself. We had ice cream for breakfast! And it was healthy!!! I honestly didn't really detect much of the banana flavor. My husband, who I insisted try a bite, said it tasted just like bananas. I'm thinking of all the possibilities: banana and cherry, banana and pineapple, chocolate banana, coconut banana, banana walnut... lots of ideas. You need to try this! I couldn't believe how well it worked! The grocer is going to wonder why I'm suddenly buying so many more bananas.

We make our hot chocolate with Ovaltine and milk. To add mint, simply use a candy cane to stir and it'll add the mint flavor. Yum!

I'm pretty sure there isn't really an industry devoted to sock-sorting, but this is a time saver that is really working!
Before we had a family sock basket. When laundry was put away, the socks were thrown in the basket to hopefully be matched. Hopefully. What actually happened was most of the family took to wearing mismatched socks. We were trendy.
This way everyone has a basket or box on the dryer. When socks come out of the dryer, they are immediately sorted by person. Then, the socks with matches are put away. It works!
Another friend bags socks by person and washes the bag. What ideas do you have for this task?

I didn't follow any plan and just totally made it up as I went. First, I knew I wanted it to be "squishy" so I planned on using quilt batting, but this clearance skateboard print fleece was much cheaper.
