In Part One of this series, we looked at some national failures of bipartisanship. There was the bipartisan Community Reinvestment Act which set the stage for the big economic crash of 2008 and our country's current Great Recession by forcing banks and other lenders to make subprime mortgage loans to unqualified borrowers.
After that came the quickly repealed and very bipartisan Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988. Here, a Republican president and a Democrat dominated Congress wanted to be seen as "doing something" by "teaming up" to provide new medical benefits for the elderly which would be financed entirely by the elderly; paid for by a little known surtax on elderly incomes.
Our story of failed bipartisanship continues here at home in the islands during 2005 when a Republican governor, a Democrat mayor, and a Democrat dominated state legislature joined forces to enact a giant 12.5% increase in the general excise tax in order to pay for a rail transit project that is the epitome of fraud, waste and abuse. The resulting local effects that will be caused by this harmful, job-killing tax hike and the wasted billions in tax dollars for a "train to nowhere" will plague the residents and employers of Hawaii for a long time.
In the eight years spent by conservatives and traffic relief advocates fighting the wasteful rail debacle, it is easy to forget that a calculated manipulation under the guise of bipartisanship is precisely what got us into this mess. Most notably, that former Governor Linda Lingle manufactured this giveaway of precious tax dollars to politically powerful special interest groups using phrases such as "home rule" to justify giving counties (only Honolulu, really) the authority to impose a whopping tax increase which she could have stopped dead in its tracks eight years ago using her veto pen.
For a brief moment back then, Governor Lingle said she would veto the Rail Tax, leading some to believe that "Linda Lingle was back." However, after assuring and re-assuring conservatives and Republicans and employers both publicly and behind closed doors that she would not support the 12.5% tax hike, Lingle shocked everyone by going 'bipartisan' at her press conference held exclusively with Democrats to announce that she would allow the tax bill to become law without her signature and retreat from her veto threat. Speaking bipartisanly, Lingle exclaimed: "I don't want it to be that anybody won or lost. It was a compromise that everyone felt good about." This led Republican Senator Sam Slom to correctly call this ". . . a complete sell out of taxpayers and the working people."
Touting the role that bipartisanship played in her decision to join Democrats in the 12.5% tax increase, Lingle proudly boasted: "I hope it teaches everyone involved in politics not to get personal in the positions you take, not to get too hardened in the positions to a point where it becomes a matter of pride and you just can't back off." Adding insult to injury, Lingle proclaimed that her big taxing, big spending approach to Republican governance would reap political benefits for the party's candidates: "I think the leadership I try to provide should be a positive for everyone running as a Republican. I think it should be a real net gain in the upcoming election." If the facts matter at all, it should be pretty clear that the trend in Republicans in office is on the decline and has been for 15 years. See chart HERE.
It should be noted that mostly unknown, unheralded Republicans in the state legislature back in 2005 stood rather firm against the rail tax, as the conservative wing of Hawaii Republicans objected strongly to this very un-Republican levy on every single transaction on the island of Oahu in order to misdirect funds into the hands of Democrat power elites. To their credit, Senate and House Republicans voted "No" against the tax.
But despite Republican losses and Lingle's disastrous 25% loss to Mazie Hirono, the intense desire to appear 'bipartisan' and to 'work across party lines' continues with those who are currently sitting in the state house. Based on their unanimous support for a massive increase in the state's budget, this new mix of GOP legislators serving in the State House have found a way to embrace government bloat and waste as long as they can get funding for their districts and a handful of inane vice-chair positions on a few committees.
While Democrat House Speaker Joe Souki is probably very proud of Rep. Aaron Ling Johanson's House Republican Caucus for proclaiming the new state budget as "fiscally conservative", it strains credulity to call a $2 billion increase anything but wasteful, reckless and fiscally irresponsible, especially with the incredible amount of debt the state carries. [Please watch HIRA's video about the budget below.]
"Going to the middle" doesn't just happen here in Hawaii. Let us remember national figure Scott Brown who ran as a conservative in the 2010 special election to replace Ted Kennedy and received more support from grassroot organizations and the Tea Party, than he did from the RNC. Conservatives thought he would be a game changer and a breath of fresh air from the establishment Republicans which dominate the U.S. Senate. However, Brown was about as conservative as Olympia Snowe and supported liberal legislation such as Dodd/Frank plus other appalling spend and tax bills that continued to "kick the can down the road". You couldn't have been any more bipartisan than Scott Brown, who tried to showcase his 'independence' and 'moderation'. Not surprisingly, Brown failed to retain his seat two years later against Elizabeth Warren who, in many people's opinion, was not that impressive a candidate or campaigner. Scott Brown pulled a 'bait and switch' on the people of Massachusetts and the nation then paid a steep political price.
Trying to appear bipartisan not only harms the re-election chances of Republicans. It also dooms candidates who haven't been elected. Gabriel Gomez, the GOP poster-child candidate in the 2013 special election to replace then-Senator John Kerry now-Secretary of State Kerry, lost by double digits to Congressman Ed Markey, a man who voted to raise taxes 271 times. Gomez is everything Republicans wish for in a candidate: Latino, son of immigrants, bilingual, Naval Academy graduate, stellar military service, nice family, and businessman. However, he tried to fool Massachusetts voters by jumping on the bipartisan wagon. For instance, Gomez supports gay "marriage" even though he is Roman Catholic. He supports the Toomey-Manchin gun control bill, he supports the Gang of 8 immigration reform proposal, and he even calls himself a "green" Republican. Since Republicans voters were basically being presented with a choice between two candidates with socially liberal Democrat values, those Republican voters did not bother to come out with their support . . . even though Gomez was considered by many to be fiscally conservative. Another case of "Why Bother?" And another example showing what happens when you don't distinguish yourself from your opponent. Result: You Lose.
Such bipartisan 'selling out' stands in stark contrast with Republican Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, a Republican who had the courage to repeatedly face off with Democrats and powerful special interest groups in order to deliver the positive change which has actually transformed the overpriced, unproductive status quo of Wisconsin government into something more beneficial and less detrimental. Hawaii desperately needs a Scott Walker in order to correct the balance of power from government employee unions back to taxpayers. But for right now, it seems we have a surplus of "me too" Republicans who haven't quite figured out a way to make the people of Hawaii actually prefer Republicans over Democrats rather than merely tolerating Republicans.

Conversation Morgan Enos from ‘North Of The Internet’ had with Stephen Emmer about the spiritual connection between classic and modern music, discovering Beethoven intuitively as a child and working with five generations of singers on his socially conscious new album Home Ground.
“I’d rather we take a more helicopter view on global matters then let our local, regional problems be our first priority.”
Morgan Enos : It’s really great to speak with someone who’s had such a long, diverse career. Not only have you done extensive compositional and arrangement work, your new project Home Ground has brought soul music and a higher consciousness together in a really special way for a great cause. What inspired you to take on this project? What was it like working with all those fantastic singers – Andy Bey, Mary Griffin, and the rest?
Stephen Emmer : Hi there! First of all, allow me to compliment you on your own truly wonderful website. There is hope and inspiration coming from it.
Well, speaking about inspiration in regard to Home Ground: perhaps the reader knows that feeling of restlessness when you haven’t heard some great music in a while yourself. You start digging in the old stuff first, and after either positive or negative déjà vu you move on to some new stuff. I did just that and found in both a yin and a yang. What I heard was the refinement within the so-called “classic music,” but with new music I heard the sonic possibilities of today’s work. I thought to myself: Why does it have to be either/or? Let’s try and combine the two of them, the best of both worlds.
When I started to think about the lyrical direction, it was about two years ago and we were all kind of chilling, more or less, in the climate Obama offered in those days. I found a certain agitprop, a slight lack of social urgency missing in most music and lyrics at that time. When I heard older music like Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” or Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” I suddenly thought “That’s what I should do!” By that, I mean that if I introduced those kind of socially aware lyrics with that kind of aforementioned combination of classic and new music, I might have a good concept to start with. So that was my starting point for Home Ground.
In the meantime, America changed, the world changed and even the Internet changed. Twitter began to become instrumental in pubic opinion and consequently in further polarization between people everywhere. There was more for and against tribalism than perhaps even in Marvin Gaye’s time. With this, I only felt my concept for Home Ground became more and more relevant, when my first thought was that it would lose its relevance in the changing times since I started working on it. So I continued working on it with even more conviction.
As far as the singers you ask about, each and every one has his or her own story to tell. Five different generations are represented among them, so that’s quite a feat already in itself. One is an overlooked legend, one prefers to deliberately stay low-profile, another is a long-overdue talent, one is a borderline recluse and another is a major star. So I wouldn’t even know where to begin about them, other then that I’m extremely pleased that they all did far more then I asked of them and was hoping for. They shared my feeling that this idea was worth trying and they delivered in full. They elevated the overall quality and inspiration.
ME : We’ve been in seriously tense, divided times. I understand that one of the point you’re trying to make with this music is that divisions run deeper than racism or nationalism – it seems humanity has found nearly any excuse to draw the sword. To change the world, would we need to change human nature itself?
SE : It was said that way by Andy Bey on one of the interludes in the album and I fully agree with that notion. But at the same time, I’m not sure if that will ever happen. In a rather bemused kind of way, I am extremely surprised that we seem to go for full-time tribalism worldwide where really we will all have to deal with the same problems and get solutions out quick before it’s too late. I am by no means a doomsday thinker or conspiracy believer – I’d rather we take a more helicopter view on global matters then let our local, regional problems be our first priority, as I really feel that that starts to become a waste of everybody’s time on the planet.
ME : Can you tell me one interesting story or anecdote you’re your experience creating Home Ground? There must have been a really lovely sense of camaraderie and positivity between all the players involved.
SE : Sure. I loved the whole idea of persuading the semi-recluse/retiree Andy Bey to join us in this, but that took like almost half a year to do so! His voice really interested me when i heard him doing a cover of a typical subdued English folk song from the late Nick Drake. I thought his soulfulness was immensely appealing and very suitable for the HG project.
He lives in Eastside Amsterdam and hasn’t got Internet (not even your URL), but his manager lives in the West Coast of America and we had to send a demo by good old snail mail to California so she could to send to where Andy is. Months and months later, he responded “I hate the music industry and don’t want to do it anymore!” Please note that Andy was already on stage in the Apollo Theatre in Harlem at the age of four. But he thought the song was great so he joined us in the end.
ME : On an everyday scale in my life, it’s been especially jarring to see how tragedies have stacked on other tragedies. It’s like we forgot about atrocities of last year and even last month, because our attention spans have reached capacity. Do you struggle with the unpredictable stream of events on a worldwide scale?
SE : Excellent question. I think this question alone already justifies your website needing to exist in todays scattered information world with a new potential enemy already on the rise: big data.
I struggle with that too. I consider myself to be highly sensitive and all those impulses come into my system way too loud. Add a self-confessed addiction to my smartphone and you can imagine things from there. I do happen to see that younger generations have a much better default filter for selection as they are differently wired to deal with all of this better, I think.
ME : I’d like to rewind to the first moment you ever conceived you could do this for the rest of your life. What was your first connection to the world of arrangement and composition? How did your love for it develop from there?
SE : My mother was a ballet teacher in Suriname in South America. One day I started noodling on the piano in her classroom and my mother came in and said “What are you doing?” I said something vague, like “Trying things?” But then she answered: “Do you know that you’ve just played Beethoven?” I was baffled, but we found out that I heard that form while attending her classes. Apparently, I absorbed Beethoven without being aware of it. That was my first awareness of it and, to fast forward, I’m still doing that now. I’ve realized that by now, the Muse has been my oldest partner in life.
ME : Let’s go even further back from there. What was your earliest childhood memory? Where were you and what were you doing?
SE : I don’t remember my earliest moment too much. However, I was very dreamy at that time and could really engage in playing with toys. One of my loveliest and fondest first memories is of playing with a dinky toy car whilst my mother had singing lessons in Amsterdam. I had to wait in the same room during her lessons, so while she was singing Doris Day songs i steered my miniature car up and down the Persian rug on the floor in rectangular moves. I felt at home in that situation. I liked it.
ME : I’m personally a guitar player and songwriter, but the music I put on day-to-day usually has no resemblance to how I write. I love the sound of jazz piano, string quartets and ambient music. Does any particular instrument in a rock band or orchestra speak to you the most, as far as its sound and timbre?
SE : I get easily bored by too much musical information by one singular instrument. That’s also my main reason for wanting to become a composer, where you have a whole array of instruments to choose from and put together, letting them influence each other within a composition. But throughout the years, I’ve gotten the most peace out of listening to a nylon guitar playing Spanish or Brazilian classical music. But not for too long per listening session, though!
“I believe I’ve started to run out of time a little by now, so I’d like very much to press on and still create as much as I can.”
ME : Can you give me a rundown of some people who have influenced you? This doesn’t necessarily need to consist of other composers, players or arrangers – it could be members of your family, or friends who turned you on to certain things. How did they do so? How do they inspire you today?
SE : In my youth, I was already exposed very early to a very eclectic amount of music by my mother. Next, I was influenced by some musical friends, of which one showed me the treasures of classical music. We even tripped one night to a new Cliff Richard album, as well as Bach and Mozart! I love to virtually crate-dig myself and find that my inspiration can come from either György Ligeti or Max Martin. But my heroes are people like Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ennio Morricone, David Axelrod, Takashi Yoshimatsu, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Aphex Twin, Bill Evans, Brian Wilson and so on.
ME : Finally, can you tell me what’s on the horizon for you and your work? What would you like to be doing in five years? Ten years? For the rest of your life?
SE : Well, I believe I’ve started to run out of time a little by now, so I’d like very much to press on and still create as much as I can. On my notepad, I have a dozen projects to go, and that means I also want to speed up the way how to release music as ideally i want to present new stuff every every six months instead of taking years per project. At the moment, I’m almost finished with a very personal piano and sound design album. After that I’m hoping to do another collaborative work with Brazilian singers, create an orchestral reggae dub EP, etc. Of course, the other thing I’d like to do right up to the end of life is to extend my musical mission by helping to develop music therapy 3.0 with high tech neurology knowledge and insights from more timeless musical psychology.

vegtable garden irrigationgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread |
We have a 2500 square foot vegtable garden and would like to spend less effort watering it as well as use less water. Last summer was the worst drought in 120 years so water had to be conserved. We also like to get away for a week or 2 in the summer and rely on other people to water the garden so we are thinking of making some type of irrigation system that would save them effort if not time as well to water. We were thinking of using hard perforated plastic tubing that could lie done the center of the beds (we garden intensively). These tubes would connect up to a main tube that a hose could attach to. Anyway, has anyone else build something like this (inexpensively)? Any guidance you could give us would be greatly appreciated.

I got the kit at Lowe's. Have tried all the cheap ways, and it wasn't worth the hassle.

Drip Irrigation is the only eay to go. You put drippers where you want and connect the whole thing up to a timer and then go on vacation. Right amount of water goes where you want it when you want it.
-- A. Johnson ([email protected]), January 24, 2002.
I used heavy mulch and sprinklers last few years, but got a bunch of drip hose on clearance @ Wally World when they were cleaning out the garden center. I'm gonna lay that down the center of my rows, then mulch over the top of it all, and attach to a timer.Also look into Drip Works and their products.
-- Eric in TN ([email protected]), January 25, 2002.
We have three gardens that are on drip irrigation. We purchased our pipe from an irrigation company in town that is used by mostly orchardist with acres and acres. The pipe has predrilled holes in 1/2" pipe set at 12" apart. We have a 2" PVC pipe with valves on each 60 foot line so that we can plant at different intravals and not have every line of the system on. The pipe ran $125 for 500 feet. The connections were less than $2.00 per line and we have 24 just in one garden. We do not have it set up on a timer yet, but that is what my husband is planning to do this summer. Now, for those plants that need extra such as cucumbers etc. we have used a 5 gal. bucket drilled with holes in the bottom section and buried next to the plant, filled as need by hand with manure tea. For my kitchen garden which is out the back door and is 16 X 30 we have that system on drip but soaker hoses that we purchased from ACE hardware for I believe $10.00 for 50 feet. It is perfect for lettuce, scallions, etc. And each line is on a valve so that I can stagger plantings of lettuce etc. We mulch with winter straw out of the barn and weeds are minimal. When we go on vacation the grandfather comes out and feeds the animals and would just turn the main valves on and check the 5 gal. buckets to see if they needed water. When we got home this last summer there was really not that much to "catch-up" on. We have tried the drip line with all the little gadgets and they were a pain, expensive and made rotating crops difficult. In the garden that I first described we have a metal fence post at the top of each row and in the winter we just drain the lines, my husband blows the 2 inch pipe out with his air compressor and then rolls the pipe up and ties it for the winter to the metal pipe. Spring its ready to roll out and plant. Hope this can help.
-- ([email protected]), January 25, 2002.
I like the idea of burying pails, I think we will try this for all the plants we only plant a few of (pumpkins, squash etc). We are going to try drip irrigation for the other crops and hopefully won't need too many hoses with planting intensively. Thanks for the help!

See if you can catch the mail reference in this timely piece of mail music. It's not as overt as usual but it's there and it's not really that big a stretch to make this the perfect choice for today's Mail Music Monday. Pay no attention to the dates referenced as it seems that this was written a while back as a contest or campaign to end Daylight Saving Time.
I actually like having more daylight hours at the end of my day, but is anyone else missing that hour we lost? My head isn't the only thing confused by this time change, a few of my clocks are also confused. I have an old alarm clock that I have to set every Daylight Saving Time, or as it's commonly called, “Daylight Savings Time”. I have an oldish alarm clock that used to set itself to the correct time — that is until they started messing with the dates that we Spring Forward and Fall Back. That one and my programmable thermostat will take a week or so to get themselves back on track. I say “get themselves back on track” because if I change them now, they'll change themselves and be wrong again a week or two from now. The first thing I do is set the clock on the programmable coffee maker. Now, please excuse me, I need another cup.
With Fat Tuesday right around the corner, I thought that something with a little Louisiana spice might be fun. I found a song that actually mentions Mardi Gras and mail but it's a mellow tune and we're getting ready for a party, not a nap.
This song was kindly suggested for Mail Music Monday, back in 2011, by our friend Sharla (@Sharlaboo on Twitter). “Mojo Hannah” was written by Tammi Lynn back in the 60's and it's been covered by lots of people under the original name and the name “Louisiana Hannah.” I like this version by Larry Williams and I hope you will, too.
On March 2, Texas celebrates three things; Texas Independence Day, Sam Houston’s birthday and Texas Flag Day. Texas Independence Day is an official state holiday while the latter two events are commemorated on the same day.
It was on March 2, 1836, that Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico. This was after the capture of the Alamo (remember that?) and before the Battle of San Jacinto when commander-in-chief, Sam Houston led his troops to victory against Mexican forces. Shortly after the battle, Mexico’s General Santa Anna was captured and negotiations began and finally led to Texas’ independence.
I was planning to post this much earlier in the day, but in my research I kept finding more and more interesting things about how we came to celebrate this day. I come from a long line of history buffs and I have Cherokee ancestery, so once I got started, I it was hard to stop.
My mom was a history teacher who got her master’s degree in Native American history. My dad has citizenship in the Cherokee Nation. These things contributed to my special interest in Sam Houston. He is one of my favorite Texans. He lived with the Cherokees and was an ambassador for Native American rights. He had slaves but there were many indications that he did not believe in slavery as an institution. He educated them alongside his children, which was illegal at that time. He also let his slaves earn and keep their own money. He voted against the Kansas-Nebraska Act which permitted the spread of slavery westward. While President of the Republic of Texas, and later as governor, he refused to permit payment to bounty hunters of escaped slaves and would not allow slave ship trafficking in Texas. He was ousted from office as Governor of Texas because he refused to sign an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy.
So this started out about Texas Independence Day and became more about one of the principle characters in the story of how that independence was won. I was also going to write more about how letters and written correspondence helped to document events surrounding and leading up to Texas winning its independence. There is an exhibit later this month, “The Many Marys of Barrington” that is based on “…authentic letters and diary entries” of three women who lived on the farm founded by Dr. Anson Jones, last President of the Republic of Texas.
I hope that I've piqued your curiosity enough that you want to do some research of your own and that you enjoy learning more about Texas’ history.

Many stakeholders, designers and managers of newly constructed landscapes have probably too few reference landscapes in their minds concerning woodland types, because too few and well-developed types exist in the landscape today—this is particularly true of urban contexts. For example, in Britain people probably think of an urban woodland as a thick green mass or a mixed forest stand with a lot of nettles and shrubs with no real visual attractiveness. Further, there is probably no articulation between individual trees or tree layers, no interesting field layer, and very little else that inspires you to walk right through. With such a woodland in mind you are better to keep to the clayish paths and accept the litter found along it. In order to come closer to a more positive and articulated meaning of a woodland and its possible attractive qualities through management, there is a need to re-find and re-use a different language, with a whole variety of words for describing different sizes, structural patterns, architectural individual
A montado landscape from Portugal, probably the most famous grazed tree-rich landscape in Europe, with its grass sward and its unending open canopy of oaks, which is sometimes grazed by cattle and sometimes by goats, sheep or the Iberian pig, and which is sometimes more open and sometimes more rich with trees. It is an interesting reference landscape type, with a remarkable closeness to an ideal of a savannah landscape or a designed area within the classic English Landscape park-style
life-forms and management regimes. We can do this partly by finding good reference landscapes that embody greater complexity and that stimulate active use and enjoyment. We can do this by looking at historical woodland types (because in many regions woodlands were taken away from the landscape by farmers many hundreds of years ago, and here it is sometimes difficult to imagine woodlands as parts of possible and desired future landscapes), but also by looking at traditional management systems that are used in different countries at present. | <urn:uuid:1f96cf26-09aa-4367-b302-9ad6a2cac4d4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://jfjm100.com/the-dynamic-landscape/finding-the-necessary-reference-landscapes.html | 2024-04-19T11:21:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.968209 | 394 |

I used to hate operas.
I only loved lieder and songs.
Recital was always my favourite genre. It distils the essence of the music. With just one instrument, or just the voice and the piano. I love it for its purity.
Opera had these silly stories and had too many things happening. It was not pure.
But, slowly and slowly, I started to feel a little better about operas. I realise that opera as a genre is a wonderful combination of story and music. I realise also that silly stories notwithstanding, some of the music is wonderfully constructed and some of the lyrics are wonderfully crafted.
One of the earlier operas that started to change my mind was Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier.
Of course, it helped that I already loved Strauss’ lieder. I cannot imagine anyone not falling in love with the song Morgen (morning), or Strauss’s Four Last Songs, considered by many to be the pinnacle of Strauss’ output as a composer of lieder (Elizabeth Schwarzkopf’s rendition here, Jessye Norman’s here). Perfection is the one word I would use to summarise these!
Why is Der Rosenkavalier such a mesmerising piece of music?
For me, it is, first and foremost, the characters that bring out the theme of the opera. The deep humanity of Der Rosenkavalier (the New York Met’s synopsis of the opera is here) derives from the universality of its commentary on the passage of time, which none of us can control. Amongst the characters, Marschallin is most aware of this, and the changes it involves for herself and for others. She knows not only that she must ultimately accept the fact of time marching on and Octavian leaving her, but she actually helps prepare him for this change. In contrast, it is only through the embarrassments of Act 3 that Baron Ochs, who has always been a womaniser, finally begins to see how far he has outgrown the role of lover to become a buffoon.
The second is the music. The final trio, Hab’ mir’s gelobt (I made a vow), is the definition of sublime music, with each of the three characters in the “love triangle” singing about his or her own different thoughts, but all in Straussian harmony. As Marschallin is thankful that she has chosen to love Octavian in the right way, Octavian realises that he will be as happy with Sophie as a man can be, and Sophie marvels at the Marschallin‘s goodness and cannot understand anything apart from her overwhelming love for Octavian. The trio flows into the Duet between the 2 young lovers, Ist ein Traum.
It’s a rich and sumptuous piece of music (and quite different from the shocking and tragic character of Strauss’ Salome and Elektra, 2 earlier operas). And alive with humour and twists a la Mozart too: in Act 1, the Marschallin‘s young lover disguised as a country girl “Mariandel” (his real name is Octavian) is sent to fetch a portrait of her cousin Octavian suggesting that “she” might be used as his rose-bearer. Marschallin is also a very well-sketched character, in one instance at the end of Act 1 when she tells of getting up in the middle of the night to stop the clocks, revealing her feelings about the ageing process.
Hearing the American mezzo-soprano Barbara Bonney live singing Sophie (which she professes is her favourite role) is of course the “fringe benefit” of having Covent Garden as one’s neighbourhood opera house. (I love Bonney’s recitals too.) London is, after all, an imposing cultural capital.
Der Rosenkavalier‘s premiere in London in 1913 under Thomas Beecham was very well received. When I think about the premiere in Dresden in 1911, I think not just of its becoming an instant success but also about how such a decadent opera turned up just as Europe was about to go through one of the worst wars in its recent history, and exactly the same year that Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales was written.
Maybe I love this opera because it was not composed as an opera! Curiously and apparently, Strauss talked of Der Rosenkavalier as music set to text. Perhaps I could read his mind …
I certainly do not think I can read Wagner’s, even though I also enjoy his operatic music, though I would argue that they are almost more musical experiences than operas. And experienced it I did – I heard the Ring live for the first time in my life, standing at the back of the stalls in Covent Garden. They used to do it that way, and I used to traipse to the ticket office to get those 5 pounds or 10 pound “standing” tickets. Great value and one really doesn’t want to socialise when watching the Ring … though one has to have good health to be able to get through the performances standing! | <urn:uuid:5f1d9b2f-af6d-4666-9264-689b3afd5ed9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://madeleinetravels.com/london/rosenkavalier/ | 2024-04-19T11:07:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.962384 | 1,098 |

Brett, an American student studying for his Masters has been in Sipson for the past month or so, photographing residents whose homes are under threat. We like having him around, but the police don’t, and have regularly stopped and searched him. We don’t understand why, but they’ve been have using section 44 of the Terrorism Act because he is photographing “near Heathrow airport”.
Look on the map. Most of the village is a good mile from the airport.
A fucking mile away! What sort of photos that are gonna be any good for terrorism puproses is he get from there? | <urn:uuid:44f06764-0891-4c2e-a61a-ca08d1f3d96c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://sim-o.me.uk/2009/04/sipson-photographer-harrassment/ | 2024-04-19T11:42:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.975663 | 135 |
Ray Rosas vs. Peter Avalon inside a cage, the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions call out SoCal Uncensored, and more!

Speaking of Ring Of Honor…
— ROH Wrestling (@ringofhonor) January 6, 2018
After seeing the Young Bucks and Adam Page call out, I decided that in this review I’m going to pay a small tribute to the next ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions, SoCal Uncensored! Check out the Fite TV app to watch ROH!
We start with a promo conducted by Dave Marquez with Kevin Condron, Richie Slade, Ricky Mandel, and Royce Isaacs. Everyone cut shitty promos, and Condron was annoying. Dude needs to stop trying so hard. They’re in an eight man tag team match. There’s money on the line. I remember hearing this Kevin Steen interview about Jim Cornette being out of touch with today’s fans when he pitched the idea of a match with the guys winning money. It was so dumb and the idea was shot down. CWFH though? Perfectly fine!
There’s a special intro video for Milestone. It was okay. Better than the usual shit that’s played on the show.
Kevin Condron, Richie Slade, Ricky Mandel, and Royce Isaacs vs. Suede Thompson, Ju Dizz, Andy Brown, and Tomaste
On commentary, they said Devin Sparks was out with a concussion that he got in Japan fighting ninjas. This was filmed before the Logan Paul shit happened this week. What bad timing. Condron “put a curse” on the opponents of his team. Him and Tomaste did a bunch of shitty comedy. Tomaste used a drum to make Condorn dance. Seven minutes into the show and it’s already garbage. Look, I have nothing against comedy in wrestling. I just prefer it to be funny. The match itself was really shitty. Richie Slade looked awful in his sequence with Ju Dizz. After the commercial break, we got the trademark “basic ass tag formula” style match with the heel team beating up Suede Thompson and later Tomaste. Tomaste tried to hit a rana on Condron, but the spot ended up being botched.
There’s a new type of fake crowd noise. It’s less annoying than before, but makes it more obvious that there’s no heat. The heels argued a bit after miscommunication, and Tomaste got a hot tag on Andy Brown. He did a BABYFACE FIRE spot. This eventually led to a sequence where everyone hit their signature moves. Andy Brown won the match for his team after hitting a rolling Ace Crusher on Ricky Mandel.
I can’t emphasize enough how bad this match was. It was long, boring, and full of botched spots. Aside from Mandel’s lame neck breaker, the finishing sequence was the only part of the match that was decent. Everything else was boring, heatless shit.
Shotzi Blackheart vs. Willow Nightingale
Hey everyone, remember Ruby Raze? You know, the woman who CWFH built up for a long time only to have all that build up ruined with their usual shitty booking? Why the fuck is there women’s matches in CWFH if they have no titles to fight for?
I’ve seen Shotzi have entertaining matches before, so I was kinda interested in this. She had a decent performance. Nightingale wasn’t so much better. The timing of the match seemed off, and there were a lot of sloppy moments. Shotzi hit a top rope senton to win the match. So is she going to come back and challenge for a title now, or was this more useless bullshit from CWFH? Obviously the latter. Dave Marquez should really fire his creative team and hire me. This match wasn’t very good.
Backstage, the show’s token female reporter interviewed Reno Scum. They talked about facing Pac 3 next week. This was the best part of the show. Adam Thornstowe and Luster The Legend cut a really great promo.
MILESTONE begins on this weekend’s episode of #CWFH!
— CWFH (@CWFHollywood) January 5, 2018
After a commercial, a promo video for Ray Rosas vs. Peter Avalon was played. It wasn’t put together really well. The storytelling structure was sloppy. It was decently produced, but whoever made this doesn’t seem to have much experience with making hype videos. The last shot of the video being the fake Marquez son was an unacceptable mistake. It should’ve ended with a clip of Ray and Peter from their tag team days. Is everyone at CWFH so fucking inept that they can’t even do basic shit right?
Steel Cage Match: Ray Rosas vs. Peter Avalon w/ the fake Marquez son
Both guys kept trying to escape the cage early. The fake Marquez son got involved. Okay, seriously, his character needs to fucking go. He brings nothing to the show and is getting over on Ray and Peter’s work here. His involvement in the cage match was unnecessary. Fuck this shit. Enough of him. Dude has to go now.
The match went to black and white in the final segment because of blood. I get it, TV executives, standards and practices, “the network,” whatever. This shit on modern TV wrestling sucks. If you’re producing a show and you have to make your picture black and white when there’s blood (even a minimal amount), just don’t fucking do blood. It’s a waste of time.
The match itself centered around both guys trying to escape the cage and built around spots. Peter hit a Russian Leg Sweep off the top rope on Ray at one point. One of the moments moments in the closing minutes of the match saw Ray going out of the cage, but go back when Peter called him back in. After a near fall, Ray tried to escape the cage from over the top but was Powerbombed by Peter. Peter would go for a moonsault off the top of the cage, but missed. Ray would then hit an elbow drop off the top of the cage to get the win via pin fall.
This was an alright match. I feel like they could’ve had a better match. The final moments of the match were entertaining, but overall the match was just solid.
This was a pretty lackluster show. The final moments of Ray/Peter were good, but overall this show wasn’t worth watching.
Don’t just take my word for it.

Sake Nation The 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Vol 1
By Kosuke Kuji
On April 14th 9:26 pm this year, there was a very large earthquake of 6.5 magnitude centered in Kumamoto prefecture. As mentioned in many reports from the media there was extensive damage and casualties. As of April 30th today, 49 deaths, 17 deaths assumed as earthquake related, 1 person missing, and people evacuated amounting to 26,000.
They have measured over 1000 aftershocks since the earthquake happened 2 weeks ago, and there are many people that cannot be guaranteed safety to return to their homes.
We have heard there are also many people that are cleaning up their home during the daytime and staying at an evacuation site or in their vehicle at nighttime.
There has especially been an emergence of a new type of evacuation with evacuees staying in their cars for this earthquake and many people have been diagnosed with Economy Syndrome from living in a tight space car which has contibuted to many of the earthquake related deaths.
Damage from Tsunami was enormous for the Great East Japan Earthquake and there were many people that died from the Tsunami. I mentioned it is called the Kumamoto Earthquake, but I've heard there was massive damage in Yufuin area in Oita prefecture, and still the people in Kumamoto and Oita are doing the best they can recovering while there are still threats of aftershocks. This Kumamoto Earthquake had supplies not being delivered to the evacuation sites and various problems were revealed. Lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake were not of any help?
I've heard that there were very few earthquakes in Kumamoto prior to this. Since there was a large earthquake in such a place like Kumamoto, I can't help but realize that this could happen anywhere in Japan.
It happens that Kumamoto prefecture is also a very important place in the long history of Japanese sake.
In Kumamoto prefecture there is a brewery named "Kumamoto Prefecture Brewing Institute Co., LTD" that makes a sake named "Kouro."
This "Kouro" brewery is very famous where Kumamoto brewing yeast originated. Kumamoto brewing yeast #9 which established the first generation of Japanese sake, especially "Ginjo sake." What happened to this Kumamoto brewing yeast from this earthquake? ....
I would like to share the answer with you in the next "volume 2."

The current poll on slashdot asks “Preferred Title: King, Emperor, Shogun, President, Prime Minister, Kwisatch Haderach?” The two prevailing answers are Emperor and Kwisatch Haderach. One lost soul asked “What about good ol’ Democracy?”
I’ve posted my response here, because any response on a /. would sink into obscurity. I post it here, it starts out in obscurity, so can only get better :)
Me, I chose Emperor. Here’s why:
Most idiots wouldn’t know what a Kwisatch Haderach was if he bit them on the ass, and it would take far too long to explain to the Bible Belters. You’d have to basically wipe them out, and that’s an expensive proposition that foments rebellion. Emperor is already well-defined.
In a Democracy, people can tell you “no”. People, more often than not, who have no idea what they’re voting on in the first place. I have studied politics and law as it relates to running a country, and the Pres really doesn’t have the pull to accomplish what I want done. He has to answer to too many people.
King wouldn’t be bad, but let’s face it: the most well-known Kingdom the world over would have to be England, also known as Brittain, AKA the United Kingdom. Obviously, a King has trouble making up his mind. And once again, there’s that whole Parliament thing. The Holy Roman Empire, though…well, they had something going there. Nothing wishy-washy about that.
I do believe that Democracy is the best option in the long-term, but to make the changes I want to make, I can’t have people second-guessing me. I want obedience now, discussion later if I feel like it. Far better, of course, if you figure it out after watching the results, but I may explain my methods and madness on occasion.
Oh – and I’m not talking Emperor of America here – I’m thinking more of a world-wide scale.
Some ideas on changes I would make:
-I would round up all of the gang-bangers from the inner cities and form them into military units. If they are too stupid to realize the downward spiral they are in, I will use them as cannon-fodder and be done with them. The best way to avoid death in my military will be to put whatever brains you have to good use.
-While I was building that military, I would almost completely close the borders of the USA, and cut off all financial support to non-citizens. Those who wish to become citizens may join the military on a 6-year hitch.
-There would be some sweeping reforms to tax law in an effort to even things out, so that the rich really do pay the lion’s share of the taxes. Individuals would pay on a weighted percentage scale as usual, but businesses would pay a percentage of their profits, with ‘profits’ to be defined as “monies paid to the company that did not go into supporting the company by paying for equipment purchases, salaries, health care, utilities, services or stock materials.” Corporate salaries would be limited by law, with the highest-paid executive being capped at 6 times the salary of the lowest-paid employee. Tax evasion is punishable by enforced military service.
-I would build that army into the Hammer of God, and use it to bring about peace. Places like the Middle East would be given an ultimatum: you have one year to come to peaceful terms with your neighbors, or I will pound you. Then I will follow through on the promise, in spades. None of this shit like Iraq, with under-sized forces and occupation. Massive strikes with overwhelming numbers and weapons for quick, decisive wins. Any surviving peoples will be given the option of becoming citizens, or we can arrange a meeting with your DOC.
-Once I have gotten most of the world under my direct control, I would set about the ‘public works’ portion of the plan and even out the technology gap in the smaller nations so that they may better meet the needs of the citizens there. My laws would be strict, but fair, and geared toward convincing the populace of the benefits work and responsibility for your own actions. Welfare would undergo reforms, and probably include some form of enforced birth control – if you can’t afford to support your current family, you are banned from increasing it’s size until such time as you can support them.
The last decade or so of my reign would be devoted to re-establishing democracy. By the time I’m done, the world will have either figured out how to get along and make democracy work, or I will have stomped it flat.
All I need now is to take over the US military somehow… | <urn:uuid:5d7facfb-dc6d-4b41-b763-b528be4ea858> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://thecyberwolfe.com/blog/2005/03/19/why-emperor/ | 2024-04-19T12:29:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.973229 | 1,045 |

Shopping for a new dentist? We all know how expensive even cleanings can be. All you need to do is find someone to help you compare and locate the right plan for your particular budget. Whether you’re searching for a dental PPO plan or a dental and vision combination plan, affordable dental insurance is possible.
It’s vital to take care of your teeth. Not doing so can lead to far worse problems, such as with the heart, if you don’t maintain your oral health. Part of this responsibility is purchasing quality insurance. It’s simple to find a plan that caters to both your current and future dental needs or upgrade your current plan. It just takes a little compare and contrast. Quality plans can help save a lot of money on routine work such as cleanings, fillings, crowns and root canals. Other plans are more pricey, but they include perks such as cosmetic dentistry. There also are no waiting periods, no plan maximums and no deductibles on diagnostic and preventative care. Your oral health is worth it!
There are many dental PPO plans for individuals, families and groups. With a preferred provider organization (PPO) plan, it’s able to get the quality care your teeth need and you get this at a much lower rate. It’s also an added bonus when you’re able to work outside of your network of dentists. Finding the proper plan will be your ticket to better oral health. Take the time to weigh your options and you will locate the perfect dental insurance plan. | <urn:uuid:4fe4bb82-1096-412c-bff1-ab3fa190bd7b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://twsbiz.com/affordable-dental-insurance-is-hassle-free/ | 2024-04-19T13:00:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.940196 | 325 |
By Ferdinand Carré, August 2021The global use of containers as a standardised transport format entailed major cost-cutting shocks, boosting supply chain efficiency. Indeed, what we call “container shipping” covers a range of innovations that affect supply chain, primarily via a dramatic drop in intermodal transportation costs: the use of containers has made ports, goods stations and cargo terminals significantly more effective than they used to be. Such a technology has furthermore had consequences on the whole organisation of supply chain and enabled a growing number of activities to rely on international trade, thus boosting efficiency and profitability. Therefore, let us first look at the details of this cost-cutting revolution and its implications for modern-day business.
Making the supply chain more efficient: a cost-cutting revolution
The cost-cutting shocks first operated on an intensive margin, thanks to the containers’ standardisation an equal amount of investment may account for the transport of larger quantities of cargo. ‘Standardisation’ means that whatever the place on earth and the transportation mode, cargo will nowadays travel in a container whose dimensions are always the same, or a multiple of the same basic unit; the twenty-feet equivalent (TFE). This allows cargo to be moved, not only from one point to another, but also from a boat to a truck, a train or another boat, always in the same box; this simple effect of global standardisation has had vast consequences on supply chain costs.
Being able to move some cargo from a boat to a train without changing anything but the very boat and train represents a big step forward from the time when cargo would be taken by dockers from the hold of a ship to a freight car, often with a stop in a warehouse. This illustrates how an intermodal point, such as a port, would be a bottleneck for trade and hence the limiting factor of global supply chain: a large part of the costs associated with it used to come from connecting points between transport modes. But with the container, changing transport modes and taking the cargo off them is much easier and a lot less costly. All it takes is a crane that takes the containers off the ship and then puts them on the train, truck or anything large enough. This means that once cranes were bought and containers were built, the same amount of investment from a firm could pay for much larger quantities of cargo. In fact, the first use of intermodal containers illustrates the way that associated cost-cutting shocks modified the supply chain of a business. In 1956, a truck-shipping firm operating between New York and Houston, Texas chose to avoid traffic congestion by moving some of the route to the sea, even though at that time coastal navigation was seen as much less profitable than trucking (in fact, it had practically disappeared in the US for large quantities of goods). This company’s innovation was to load the cargo in metal containers that could be transferred from a truck to a boat, and vice-versa, with only the help of a crane: suddenly, intermodal points became 40 times more productive than they used to be with dockers handling break-bulk cargo. It only took ten years, to 1966, to see the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) setting an official standard for the container, still valid today.
More precisely, this soar in productivity, associated with an equal drop in costs, can be traced to several cost-cutting factors, the first of which is the cost of labour entailed by the sudden irrelevance of dockers, not only were cranes more productive, but they also cost much less. Dock labour productivity, therefore, soared in unprecedented proportions. A study estimated this jump from 1.7 tons per hour before containerisation to 30 tons per hour afterward, meaning that productivity was suddenly 17 times higher.
On top of this slash in labour costs, the use of mechanic cranes and the fact that directly handling the cargo was no longer necessary also decreased the costs of insurance against deterioration and pilferage, which were real concerns before containers appeared (an old joke from the break-bulk cargo age estimated a docker’s wage at “twenty dollars and all the Scotch you could carry home”). Container shipping therefore ensures higher levels of cargo preservation all along the route, as a given cargo often stays in the same container from departure to arrival points. Finally, the automation of cargo handling at intermodal points drastically lowered the need for inventory, as a container can be taken off a ship and loaded on a truck without any additional steps, costs otherwise associated with warehouses and delays are thereby avoided.
Insurance costs and inventory costs show that the productivity and efficiency gains of using containers go beyond the intensive margin of ‘how much cargo can I move for this amount of money?’.
New organisation: the extensive margin of the container revolution
The very fact that costs disappear is because the container of cargo never changes, whatever the transport mode. This has consequences on the extensive margin of supply chain optimisation, because it changes the way things are done. Indeed, global-scale standardisation via containerisation implies deep transformation of supply chain structures.
For instance, nowadays, supply chain agents choose to specialize in container transport, which means they are able to deal with any of a supply chain’s steps, as everything is transported in a standardised format that can be perfectly anticipated and standardly handled. A single transportation format and specialised supply-chain agents who operate the whole journey significantly decrease organisational costs as the monitoring of transport is simplified by such integration. More generally, a complex supply chain aggregating very different goods may also benefit from container shipping as each type of goods can be moved using containers, thus taking away most of the complexity.
The fact that containers are today’s standard and global transportation formats also benefit firms looking at end-to-end logistics and business-to-consumer strategies, which can represent a big step in supply chain optimization. With a container being able to cross thousands of miles between two global ports as well as being fit for transport on a small truck designed for narrow roads, cargo can be brought from large production centres to virtually every consumer, which allows for a huge efficiency-driven restructuration of the supply chain. Indeed, the need for inventory, large deposits and the costly reliance on large consumption centres, such as department stores and malls, can be avoided through a hub-and-spoke logic made possible by the universalness of containers and the large range of transport modes they are compatible with.
Such management therefore enhances a supply chain’s efficiency thanks to standardisation and network effects; but it also requires a strong organizational structure to ensure optimal coordination. Today’s transportation systems tend to treat containers as commodities that can be traded on highly integrated markets, which aims at an optimal allocation of container shipping slots. This would mean an allocation that is virtually instantaneous in order to shrink delays and participate in a just-in-time supply chain, and more generally that would eliminate most frictions associated with local bargaining. Such ‘stock exchanges’ where containers, journeys and slots are traded heavily depend heavily on IT.
Today’s containers: an overview
Standardisation also means that very different types of cargo can be transported via the same transport system, thus allowing for high cost efficiency as costly, specific infrastructure is often made irrelevant. This means that boats, trains or trucks specifically designed for cold products, raw materials or goods with uncommon dimensions are no longer needed by the supply chain. What prevails instead is a wide range of container types adapted to an even wider range of cargo, which can be transported by a globally available infrastructure.
The typical journey of a container would include some road travel on trucks, small (for a 1-TFE container) or large (for a 2-TFE one); it would then typically continue on a container-carrying ship, which would statistically exceed 300 meters of length and 20,000 TFE of tonnage, and would take a trip between two global ports following a precise route, with the obligation of maintaining a certain distance with fellow container-carrying ships behind and ahead of it (so that smaller ships could cross the route without danger). The finishing port would standardly be very large and at least partly built in deep waters in order to welcome those giant boats, with extremely wide docks, called terminals, where containers may be stocked awaiting transfer via another transport mode. But a container might also be directly transferred by a mechanic, and very often, an automatic crane (computer-controlled from the port authority centre) on a train or a truck parked along the wharf. Once the train is complete, it may depart for any region in the port’s vast hinterland; a global port’s hinterland typically goes beyond national boundaries, which is a consequence of the hub-and-spoke logic. There, it may reach the place of final consumption, or a factory, an assembling centre or a dispatching hub, depending on the supply chain involved.
The second frontier that container shipping helped cross is that between very different cargo types: today one may use a container-carrying boat in order to move dry or fresh cargo, solid or liquid products, and goods of various dimensions, precisely because there exist several types of containers adapted to each of these categories.
The dry container, first, is the most visually recognizable one, and certainly the one with the most possible different uses; the website of a large shipping business advertises how one may use such a container to move clothes (with optional hanging rails inside it), cars, or coffee bags.
In order to manage fresh cargo, refrigerated containers (or reefers) are used. Each container is equipped with a refrigerating engine. This engine relies on external electrical power (typically in a warehouse, on the ship or on quay) but for the time of transport on road or rail, this power can be provided by diesel gen sets. For long rail or road trips, where external electrical alimentation is not possible, cryogenic refrigeration offers efficient temperature regulation for a long period (up to one month). Such a set-up further enables you to stock the container anywhere on the boat (not necessarily next to a source of external power). The idea behind it is that when a liquid evaporates, it tends to cool the air around it. By stocking liquid nitrogen, or even solid CO2, and letting it slowly evaporate, such temperature regulation can be achieved. Thanks to these different refrigeration technologies you may keep fresh cargo in a very large span of temperatures, from +25 to –60°C.
Although gas and oil are generally moved by tank ships, the tank container or “tanktainer” allows for transportation of such cargo within the global container system: the cargo is stocked in a standardised tank, which is kept still in a metal framework - the dimensions of which exactly fit those of standard dry containers. The question behind the tanktainer is: when is it profitable to use a tanktainer rather than a gas or oil tanker ship? On the one hand, tanktainers keep the price of transport low due to all the cost-cutting shocks discussed hereinbefore; but on the other hand, the use of very large tanks on supertankers also allows for large scale gains. The loading and unloading of such ships is not as costly as that of pre-container cargo ships, therefore, when dealing with common, widely used fuels, it may be more interesting to use gas and oil carrying tankers. But tanktainers may be more profitable when it comes to rarer fuels and/or smaller quantities, when such scale gains are less easy to profit from. The same reasoning applies when one deals with smaller trips, which often implies smaller quantities (as they’re not necessarily between two global hubs). Again, tanktainers are more likely to be the less costly option.
Finally, for large merchandise that cannot be loaded by the door and oversized goods that stick out (laterally or vertically), where you cannot use a classic dry container, you may use what is called a “Flat Rack”. Such a container is open everywhere except for the floor and the two small sides, all in steel, in dimensions 20 or 40 feet. This container format is especially used for large cars, some break-bulk cargo and mostly oversized engines like cranes or pipelines. The Collapsible Flat Rack version is easy to move when empty (which is a plus compared to other formats): the sides collapse so that when empty the containers can be piled up (4 CFR add up to one dry!) and easily transportable.
Reshaping the World Economy—and Beyond
The container revolution has had blowing consequences on the supply chain of every firm—but it also has had implications on the global economy and beyond, on the way societies organise themselves worldwide.
For a supply chain operator, one may speak of scale gains that are shared with its client firms; for an economy, one may speak of a positive externality, the gains of which are shared with all its trading partners. This externality is of the “network” type: when a country decides to invest so that one of its ports is container-compatible, domestic firms enjoy smaller transport costs, but what happens on top of that is that this enlarges the container-trade network and therefore makes every other country better off, because the transport cost is smaller everywhere. Finally, one may add up the gains of trade, according to which a new country taking part in international trade makes every other country, as well as itself, richer.
Economically, this network externality mostly operates via the concentration of ports according to a hub-and-spoke mechanism. A 1972 study on the trade between Western Europe and Southern Australia estimated the number of European southbound Australia leading ports to 11 before the container revolution, and to only 3 after that. Today’s European Northern Range of container ports is mostly concentrated around Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg, which serve as the three European hubs. Cargo is then dispatched to smaller, national hubs like Felixstowe in the United Kingdom, Le Havre in France or Gioia Tauro in Italy. Due to this hub-and-spoke logic, a port’s hinterland (the geo-economical features of the land around the port) is of less importance than it used to be for very large ports; on the contrary, it is very local characteristics that are a matter of importance: an efficient container port must be located close, first, to deep waters, so that large ships may come and go easily, and second it needs to feature very wide docks called container terminals where cargo may be stocked for a day or two. This explains why today’s largest ports are not necessarily those of historic importance or, when they are, they actually dwell very far from the port’s historic centre. However, because of the hub-and-spoke logic, the geographical space around a container port does not necessarily enjoy its economic advantages. A country’s strategy about whether such investments are an opportunity must therefore integrate a number of parameters, such as the nature and directions of the flows transiting through it. Geopolitical influence, strategic concerns as well as trade gains must be included.
Concentration operates when it comes to space but also affects time: the rising importance of international trade and, more broadly, the coming of age of today’s globalisation has enabled supply chains to be more sensitive to demand, as they do not rely as much as they did on inventory. For whole economies, this is embodied by the just-in-time system that has proven very cost-efficient with regards to stocks. But, just-in-time also entails a higher level of interdependence between supply chain agents, which in turn increases systemic risk in the case of failure of one of these agents or of global disruption.
Containers’ influence in the just-in-time theme also has applications in supply chain fields other than trade. Containers, and especially reefers, because they include some sort of energetical plug-in, may be used as a building unit in emergency or tentative situations. For instance, hospitals or data centres may be assembled very quickly using containers as blocks, as long as they come with an internet connection and a source of electricity.

I live in a wet county that is surrounded by several dry counties.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the weather.
For you people who actually live in the world and haven't heard of this concept, this is what it means.
The county I live in sells liquor. There are liquor stores. You can buy a case of beer at the gas station. You know, it's like... civilization.
In the dry counties around me, this is not the case.
There are no liquor stores.
You can't buy beer. Or wine. Or vodka. Or gin. Or tequila.
Bootlegging still exists.
When a wet county exists in the middle of several dry counties, there are usually a plethora of liquor stores. This is certainly true in my situation. Directions to my house include the phrase "Go over the bridge and past all the liquor stores," and everybody knows exactly where I'm talking about.
It's high class out here in the boonies, y'all.
Anyhoo, I picked MY liquor store early on, based on a couple things. 1) It was on the side of the road that prevented me from crossing the street and/or making a left turn - because I HATE to make left turns - and 2) It has a drive-thru. As the Mama of two very active little boys
What I didn't count on was was the fact that the lady who is ALWAYS on drive-thru duty, 24 hours a day, six days a week (liquor stores are still closed on Sundays out here in the wild, ya know, because of God) would stay drunk at work and would be largely unable to fill any order that was more complicated than "a case of Bud Light, please."
I occasionally get a wild hair and try different tactics to see if she will be able to do something crazy like, I don't know, sell me a bottle of wine. Last week, I thought that if maybe, just maybe, I went early enough in the morning, right at opening time, that she perhaps wouldn't be too drunk to help me buy wine without getting out of the car and dragging my kids inside the place.
Lazy and entitled. That's me.
I pulled up to the drive-thru and waited patiently for her to come to the window. Minutes pass, and she finally
"Good Morning," I said cheerfully. "I'd like a 12 pack of Bud Light Lime in the bottle and two bottles of Oliver Soft Red wine."
"A 12 Pack of Bud Light Lime in bottles and two Oliver Soft Reds, please."
"A 12 PACK OF BUD LIGHT LIME IN BOTTLES AND TWO BOTTLES OF OLIVER SOFT RED WINE!" I screamed.
Something switched on in her alcohol-soaked brain, and she started moving around. First up, she pulled out a handful of suckers, which she thrust at me, then she turned and wandered off in the direction of the beer.
She came back toward me with a case of beer, clearly cans, and no wine. She then put it on the counter, grabbed a second handful of suckers which she passed out the window to me, and started to ring my sale.
"Um, excuse me? I'm sorry (I really wasn't. I don't know why I always feel compelled to apologize to other people when I tell them they're wrong.) but that looks like cans. I asked for bottles. And also, my wine? The Oliver Soft Red?"
She reached down under the counter and I saw my life flash before my eyes as I envisioned a gun coming up and pointing at my face and OH MY GOD I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! I DON'T EVEN HAVE A TATTOO YET! handed me a bunch of doggie treats. Um, ok? Thanks? My kid will love these? I guess pet owners use the drive-thru, too. Then, once again without saying a word, she turned and wandered off toward the beer.
She was back relatively quickly with what appeared to be the correct beer. And still no wine. As she started ringing it up, I prompted gently, "Um, my wine?' Her response once again was to wander away without looking up. She came back with two bottles of wine that she immediately put into a paper bag. We finished our transaction smoothly, I declined more suckers, and I was on my way.
When I got home, I put my beer in the fridge and took the wine out of the bags. It was Oliver Soft White. Whatever. Close enough. Also, and somewhat inexplicably in my bag I found several Slim Jims which I had not paid for.
So here I sit, drinking my white wine, eating a free Slim Jim and tossing doggie treats up in the air for the boys to catch
Tomorrow, I'm planning to go back through the drive-thru to get some rum.
I can't wait to see what I come home with this time. | <urn:uuid:8772d53a-3d4e-4ced-bd50-9d29b4063516> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.154hiddencourt.com/2011/09/my-liquor-store.html | 2024-04-19T12:13:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.980073 | 1,049 |

Add this great expansion to your Angels collection now! 2014 Goals and StatusesGoal: Successfully Kickstart Angels - Michael's War card game Result: Successful... with changes. We totally ran a successful Kickstarter. We had to knock the price down from $2,000 to $777 due to some printing changes that made us change our plans, but we succeeded, and got to experience some great things along the way. Goal: Launch 2 other card games through TheGameCrafter.com Result: Successful. We launched Pyramids of Mars and Faith Hope Love in 2014. This was very much the year of the card games. Goal: Start releasing our RPGs on TheGameCrafter.com in the 2nd half of the year. Result: Successful! We launched -U- the Game of Stories on TheGameCrafter.com. It even sold pretty well in the first month. Very pleased with this. Goal: Write a new RPG game line for 2015 release. Result: Unsuccessful. While we were playtesting our new RPG, it started to come apart. at that same time, we found Fate Core. Because of that, we've shifted gears and are working on Fate RPG materials. Goal: Get an Angels Dice Game ready for 2015 release. Result: 80% Complete. We are doing some playtesting and trying to figure out a way to make it less expensive. $40 retail for a dice game where you have to put all the stickers on is a lot, to us. Goal: Get an Angels board game ready for 2015 release. Result: Unsuccessful. We were working on this, honest. Then... it died. The game idea just didn;t work. Instead, we put the time into making more variants for Angels - Michael's War card game work. Goal: Update DiColumns or release a deluxe version of the game (optional goal) Result: Unsuccessful. Thank goodness this is a stretch goal. It will be on the list next year, too. Goal: Get our RPGs as Print on Demand games (optional) Result: 50% there. With us taking a look at our RPG lines and looking at Fate, we wanted to hold off until we were sure which way we wanted to jump.

Parmigiano-Reggiano is one of the oldest cheeses known and is still produced today as it was eight centuries ago: the same ingredients, the same production technique and the same loving care. It can be matured for long time.
It is a completely natural cheese, the only one which can be eaten by little children and by those who are intolerant to lactose.
Its production is controlled by the Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese Cooperative, which does not allow the use of any additives.
Parmigiano-Reggiano is extremely high in nutritional value as a kilo of cheese is obtained from sixteen liters of top quality milk from the area of production. It is exceptionally rich in calcium and phosphorous and is very easy to digest, so it is a perfect food for sportsmen. | <urn:uuid:8ade4db8-9bf3-40eb-af75-2dba799ccdcd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.bolognagourmet.it/en/tours-eng/38-typical-products/15-parmigiano-reggiano.html | 2024-04-19T12:45:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.968991 | 169 |
I know you're as breathless as I am about the great new additions to The Jaded Gates, but before we get to that, here's some background. This site was originally constructed in August 2001 in Saigon. I put it up on Geocities, but there were structural problems that couldn't be solved at that time. It worked fine on my computer at home, but reportedly lots of pages wouldn't open on the internet. See, the government of Vietnam had blocked all Geocities sites, so I couldn't actually see which ones didn't work. Anyway, it gave me an excellent excuse to let it slide.
I moved back to the States not all that long after that, but never got around to trying to fix it. Eventually, though, the problem surfaced. It's highly technical, but I'll try to explain it. So long about early 2004 the site was finally working correctly, with all pages accessible, provided you don't have any faulty input devices of your own to deal with. Then, in late 2004 another milestone was passed when BruceCarleton.com was inaggurated. But there was no new content to speak of until: JANUARY 2005 *Structural changes: A new section of things for sale, SHOP, has been added. The LINKS section has been annexed by the MISC section. A new section called ARTIFACTS has been added under MISC (theoretically, anyway). Altogether, about 240 pages have been added. *Updates: The PUNK MAGAZINE section under ART has been completely revised. It now contains everything I did for that esteemed publication, along with some added items of historical interest (John Cale, Spacely, Lester Bangs, Von Lmo, Anita Pallenberg, the true story of the Punk Awards, Baba Gomer, me and Brooke Shields). The LINKS and QUOTES sections have also been expanded. THE REST section of ART has seen the addition of Onions (my publishing debut) and some Jakarta T-shirts. *NEWSFLASH: Read about the exhibition of my drawings at the New Theatre Restaurant. MARCH 2005 *Updates: There are now some artifacts in ARTIFACTS. A new section has been added to ART called PROTO-BRUTO. It contains things I did when I was in high school and college. Some things have also been added to THE REST section in ART (rows 6 and 7), and to INADVERTENT POETRY (rows 9 & 10) and FACTS (the first entry) in MISC. SEPTEMBER 2005 *Updates: My bio at WHO has been expanded with some linked visuals and a trip to THE UNDERBELLY. The CHANTEL EPIPHANY has been illustrated. Some new QUOTES have been added (Hector, Johnny Cash, Big Daddy Roth, and The Hero of the Sind). Some new LINKS have been added (Avidor, PIM, Jeffrey Isaac, Sonny Liew, Don Knotts, Rat Fink, Barbara Abel, and R. Lee Ermey). Some new POETRY has been added (the Clark half of Lewis and Clark reveals his poetic side in THE AMORITE VS. THE BATTERY OF VENUS, droppings from CAVALIER have been gleaned, and proof that a COMPUTER can be sensitive is presented). And some new FACTS have been added (a shocking report on JOHNNY DEPP and a SAVAGE SADISTIC SEX SACRAMENT). Some bits have been added to the KAMADHATU and VIETNAM Art pages, and amazingly enough, I finally got all my stuff from COMICAL FUNNIES and STOP! MAGAZINE up. Last but least, don't miss the exiting VIGOR PANTIES UPDATE tacked on to the end of that piece. OCTOBER 2005 *Updates: Assuming that you would have been able to imaging something like Von Lmo, even then you could never have imagined such a complete archive as you will find in The Von Lmo Files (somewhat questionably categorized in the FACTS section). My own Bio in the WHO section has been enhanced with The Road to Raytown: The Early Days. The QUOTES entry for Nelsonian Juxtaposition is now gloriously illustrated. Some old reviews of Fun Is Sick were added in ART. Also, there are three new/old logos in the REST section of ART (4th down from the top). And lastly, be sure to check out the new FACTS section called Curious Cuisine before your next culinary excursion. |

HELEN ATTRILL – VISUAL ARTS TEACHER
What are the biggest challenges for you teaching from home?
Domestic distractions and getting all my students to attend all classes!
What do you like about teaching from home? What has surprised you?
I love the flexibility of being able to duck out the back and visit my vegetable garden, or do a quick walk around the local cemetery and then make up for lost time with work at night. I have found that some students have really taken to the remote learning process and I can easily give them feedback on their uploaded images via Google Drive, something I hadn’t tried before.
Have you got a favourite place at home to work?
My ‘home office’ is also a spare room which I had painted in warm colours inspired by a trip to Spain in 2003. Behind me is a painting by Dr Karen Annett Thomas. I wish there was more natural light from the window however. My cat, Honey, has decided to adopt the spare bed as the location for both her morning and afternoon naps so I’m never alone.
What’s your ISO exercise of choice?
I have made an effort to keep fit during iso, both before and after classes. I jump on YouTube and try out all sorts of online exercise classes, such as Body Balance (yoga), Body Pump (weights), Body Combat (martial arts to music) and tabata. One of the instructors for a class I’ve just started ‘attending’ is Polish; I have learnt the Polish word for pushups is pompki, which will be very useful when I travel to Poland.
Any funny, wonderful or unexpected things that have happened as a result of teaching from home?
I think we have learnt to work smarter this way. Remote meetings for staff in Winter are the way to go!
What are you looking forward to about being back on campus?
Watching my Year 12 students enthusiastically storming into the class room and getting stuck into their art on a Friday afternoon; the throw-offs (students competing on the pottery wheels) and general camaraderie and hands-on nature of Studio Arts classes; and, of course, the coffee catch ups and veggie swapping with the arts staff, especially my office buddy Andy Jones.
What’s something you do to completely switch off from teaching?
Apart from pompki with a Polish tabata instructor (see above), walking through the cemetery and native bushland near my house.
Anything you’d like to say to the rest of the BSSC community during lockdown?

This is our first car and we've only had it 2 months.
In the first fortnight the automatic shift selector light failed. When we picked it up from the service centre a connector rod (?) failed and we only had the first three (3) gears available.
A week later the head gasket blew! Apparently the cause was the failure of the thermostat switch to turn on, causing the cooling system to fail and cooked the engine.
The car's been in the shop nearly 2 1/2 weeks now and is due to be picked up tomorrow. Approximately $1500 parts, machining & labour (includes new valves) free under warranty. And they've given me a loan car!
We are the 2nd owners and bought this car from the original dealer (it was a trade in, trade up). It has a complete service history and these are the first problems this car has experienced. Now that really is bad luck!!!
We've had some bad luck, but the car itself is outstanding (when it's going). Leather trim, electrics, power seats, Blaupunkt stereo, 10 stack CD changer, climate control. The original owner lost $90.000 in the depreciation of this car in 5 years. The auto trans is sluggish off the mark, unless you apply throttle, then it moves quite respectably (and then some!). At speed on the highway it moves quickly and effortlessly. This car will happily drive at 160 kms all day if required, probably everyday. It is very comfortable, strong and safe. The perfect family sedan. | <urn:uuid:15998a34-aaa1-411d-a596-aabb050bd76e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/audi/100/1994/page-2/ | 2024-04-19T11:28:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.965461 | 320 |

The NEC Medias X gets a liquid based cooling solution for the processor that promises to keep the temperature within safe limits.
Smartphones with quad core processor and high clock speeds have to suffer because of higher temperatures as they cannot dissipate heat due to their design. But now Japanese electronics brand, Nippon Electronics Corporation (NEC) has launched a smartphone that comes with liquid cooling solution that aims to keep the temperature of the phone under control.
The phone, named as Medias X NEC has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor that utilizes a passive heat exchange system using a graphite based radiator placed on the device for heat dissipation. The two are connected through liquid coolant that flows inside the device for cooling its processor as the inquisitor reports.
The NEC Medias X has a 4.78 inch display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. It has a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera as well.
The device is likely to be sold only in Japan however the company might be interested in selling the same liquid cooling technology to other device manufacturers as well. If that happens we will surely get even faster devices minus the heat.
For instance the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor is capable of running up to 1.9 GHz but due to heat issues the manufactures are forced to clock the devices up to 1.6-1.7 GHz. | <urn:uuid:a1a1fec2-3d6b-4ae0-959e-6e19d29113c7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.chintansfamily.co.in/2013/05/nec-launches-liquid-cooled-android.html | 2024-04-19T12:40:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.958413 | 280 |

Cow Country is the epic account of one man's frantic pursuit of love and regional accreditation at a community college with issues. Set at a rural campus in the throes of demographic and existential crisis, this lyrical work stakes a formidable claim to being The World's First Community College Epic.
Cow Eye Press is proud to release its special Hardcover Edition of this unique novel on April 15, 2015. Enjoy!
When a down-on-his-luck educational administrator arrives into the makeshift bus shelter of Cow Eye Junction, he finds a drought-stricken town and its community college on the precipice of institutional ruin. Struggling to navigate this strange world of bloated calf scrota, orgiastic math instruction, and onrushing regional accreditors, Charlie must devise a plan to lead Cow Eye Community College through the perils of continuous improvement to the triumphant culmination of world history.
Iconoclastic, wry, and ambitiously constructed, Cow Country is Adrian Jones Pearson's most American work yet, deftly blending the lunacies of contemporary academia with the tragic consequences of New World nation-building. A must-read for anyone who has ever worked at an institution of higher education, or attempted to straddle partisan lines, this insightful novel offers a poetic requiem for the loss of our humanity - and our humanities.
The Hardcover edition of Cow Country is available at:
"The future, you see, is but the past in disguise. It is a promise rather than its premise. It is the beautiful plan versus the ugliness of its implementation. Perfection as opposed to reality. The idea transcending its compromise. It is the whisper. The dream. The unfulfilled desire. It is the cafeteria at the end of the long esplanade. The delta where all rivers merge. The eternal premonition of ecstasy rather than the fleeting orgasm itself. The future, Charlie, is our history."

Episode 5 (5/28/2013): After their relationship becomes a bit too intimate for comfort, Ace and Cece butt heads about her job and investigating the senator’s murder and what it will take to keep her safe. He thinks she needs him to protect her, but she thinks she can take care of herself. Only time will tell if her open door policy will slam shut in her face….
* * * * * * * *
I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this episode, but I did. Probably because Cece calmed down a tiny bit. Yeah, she still put her life in danger, but she didn't go on any crazy adventures. One kiss between the two and he calls her "baby" already? Really? At least she knows that she is really in danger and she'll stop acting like Sister Mary Stubborn. Have I mentioned that I love the nicknames Ace has for her. Hysterical.
Here's hoping episode 6 continues in the right direction . . . | <urn:uuid:fd919cbc-28b4-4984-a43b-12392352d5e1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.crystalblogsbooks.com/2013/05/kicking-habit-episode-5.html | 2024-04-19T12:10:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.982662 | 214 |

Lachlan had an unexpected breakthrough yesterday. I love it when moments like this just seem to come out of nowhere. Peter and I were reading and he was sounding out words. Lachlan was listening in and sounded out the word "but". He then went to the table, grabbed a paper and pencil and wrote it down by just sounding it out. He cut it out and brought it to me.
He asked me what it said and when I read it to be the word he meant it to be, he was quite excited. I of course was thrilled and made sure he knew it. I asked him how he knew how to write that words. He explained to me the process and went back to the table to write some more.
He started at the bottom of the paper and wrote But I can, then later added jump in the mud. He also added wet and tried to write friends (but that's a tough one).
He was still excited about this new skill and flipped the paper over to write another sentence. He started his sentence at the bottom again and wrote "I love you even wen u r mad".
This all happened in the evening before bed which is when we have been doing a lot of our reading, since learning can happen anytime, not just during school hours. I was able to lay down with Lachlan to help him fall asleep and he dreamed up the most exciting of plans. He asked if he could write a book the next day.
At first I said, no we have to do reading and writing and math and we have worksheets to do. HAHA, tricked you. Like I would ever say no to that. All the worksheets and checklists go out the window when your child is excited about writing a book. I mean seriously! I am so thankful I am the teacher and my class size is small. That way we can take full advantage of these breakthroughs and the excitement they have towards any given project.
We actually were so excited about the idea and got up to put our book together. He left it blank until the morning but we laid in bed thinking of a good title. He decided on Lachlan's Big Adventure.
He completed his first page after Farm School today. That is a picture of him and the other kids looking for the ribbons on the trees. Today at farm school we searched through the forest for ribbons and then had to identify what kind of tree it was by looking at pictures of their leaves and other characteristics. I think his illustration is pretty accurate.
I then taught him how to date his page and explained to him what a journal is. He thought using this book as a journal sounded like a good idea. | <urn:uuid:75364feb-da4d-45a5-8cf4-b238ad4709f5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.dandelioninherhair.com/2015/11/a-big-breakthrough.html | 2024-04-19T11:39:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.99242 | 554 |

Amazon’s official ANYCUBIC storefront now sells the Photon 3D Max Resin Printer. $979.99 shipped After you have clipped the coupon,.

This printer can work with any 405nm UV-cured resin. However, it can be adjusted to make it more compatible with specific materials or ones that need less power. The Photon M3 Max features a new texture checkerboard pattern on the build plate. This will allow the resin to get a better hold and allows for more print successes. Continue reading below.
Grab 1kg of ANYCUBIC 405nm plant-based grey resin at to ensure you’re ready to print larger models immediately after you get the printer. $25.

The resin is plant-based and will not require any harmful chemicals. This 1kg container will last for a long time. The resin here also doesn’t shrink much when cured, so parts remain dimensionally accurate.

The work on my Bally Mariner is coming to a end. Since my last update, I’ve had the chance to play quite a few games on it and the machine has been holding up really well. Mariner has been very reliable and no issues have come up. There are just a few last things to do and then I’m done. First item on the agenda for this update is sorting out the relay coil for the up post. This one spends a lot of its time energised and as such was showing strong signs of stress. A new coil was purchased to replace it.
It’s Mariner update time again and this for this post I’ll be starting out with some small stuff and then moving onto larger, more interesting things. I’m really looking forward to getting the machine into a state where it’s read for play. That’s still a little while off yet, but I am getting there 🙂 To begin this update, I wanted to look at the two small roll over buttons in the lower third of the playfield. These two buttons control the post down feature.
Fireball Classic has 3 mushroom bumpers on the play field. These are small ‘passive’ pop bumpers. No coil attached, and are simply hooked up to a switch below the play field. The yellow cap sits just high enough so the ball gets under it and lifts it up. That causes the switch below the play field to close. I had never seen them before, so was curious to pull one a part to see what it was made up of. Plus, there was one missing on my play field, so was going to have to track the parts down. | <urn:uuid:be69c3c0-70f4-4c34-a5a9-9e518ef14950> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.enteryourinitials.com/tag/mushroom/ | 2024-04-19T11:39:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.979122 | 351 |

WHAT IPL PHOTOFACIALS CAN DO FOR YOUR SKIN
HOW DO PHOTOFACIALS WORK
The primary principal behind light based technologies is selective photothermolysis (SPTL) which is the ability to target specific chromophores (light-reactive elements such as blood, melanin, or water) using a specific wavelength or color of laser or light source. In hair removal treatments, for example, the laser targets the hair follicle (melanin chromophore) while leaving the surrounding skin (water chromophore) and blood vessels (hemoglobin chromophore) unharmed.
WHAT IS THE LUMIENS M22 (TECHNICAL INFO) AND WHY IT IS ONE OF THE BEST IPLS ON THE MARKET
The Lumenis M22 is one of the worlds best IPLs for skincare, which offers several unique functions. At Estucia we are offering treatments with both the Lumiens IPL and the Lumenis ResurFX™ lasers.
Lumenis offers a unique IPL solution with optimal efficacy, safety and ease of use. The Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™) gives users the ability to control the pulse shape. It provides reproducible results as well as gentler, more comfortable treatments. Universal handpiece with nine ExpertFilters™, enables treatment of a myriad of conditions with a single, versatile and cost effective handpiece.
The ResurFX™ laser is the only true fractional non-ablative technology. Unlike other fractional technologies, ResurFX™ only needs one pass to be effective, saving time and protecting the patient’s skin. ResurFX™ uses a 1565nm fiber laser and an advanced scanner, which enables the user to choose from more than 600 combinations of shape, size and density options, for optimal treatment results. The ResurFX™ has state-of-the-art CoolScan™ scanner for non-sequential scanning. The CoolScan™ scanner uses a proprietary algorithm that controls the placement of each fractional spot. This protects the tissue from heat accumulation and overheating. Moreover, the ResurFX™ handpiece is equipped with continuous contact cooling to increase patient comfort during treatment.
DO IPL PHOTOFACIALS HURT
No! Although the IPL induces heat, we use an advanced cooling technology (CoolScan™ scanner) that rapidly induces a cooling sensation so that you are left pain-free. In fact, this is one of the reasons that Dr. Ackerman and Jamie Ackerman carefully selected the Lumenis products for their effectiveness and the comfort levels for our patients.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR RESULTS TO OCCUR WITH IPL PHOTOFACIALS
Depending on the skin concerns being treated, and the amount of healing required, different patients will require different amounts of sessions. Typically speaking, patients looking for minor skin improvements may require 3-6 sessions to notice results. Our IPL and laser technicians will be able to tell you how many treatments are required during a complimentary consultation.
HOW MANY IPL PHOTOFACIAL SESSIONS ARE NEEDED TO SEE RESULTS
The number of IPL Photofacial treatments needed depends on the patients current skin condition and their desired results. Please request a consultation to find out how many you need.

In the world of aesthetics, our top-rated medspa practitioners at Estucia of Palm Beach sets the standard.
PREPARING FOR YOUR IPL PHOTOFACIAL PROCEDURE
You will be asked to stay away from alcohol and other blood thinners before and after your procdecure.
• You must have had prolonged direct sun exposure 1 month prior to treatment (nor 1 month post treatment.)
• Discontinue any retinoid products 5 days prior to treatment (also 5 days post treatment.)
• If on Valtrex, have your Valtrex prescription filled and take starting 1 day before the treatment.
• Arrive to your appointment 30 minutes prior for numbing of the area.
• Shave the area if there is hair. If you have a beard, trim to what would be equivalent to a “2 day shadow.”
• Arrive clean faced with no make-up, moisturizers or lotions.
• Wear or bring a button down shirt so as not to pull anything over the face or across the body after treatment.
An IPL procedure is relatively simple. We may or may not begin by topically numbing the area being treated. Then, we apply a cool gel to the areas being treated. We set the IPL up to the configuration needed to achieve your desired results and then directly target the laser to the area needed.
You will be fully awake and speaking during the procedure. Most patients report feeling little to no pain during the treatment.
AFTER RECEIVING AN IPL TREATMENT
After treatment, you will experience redness, swelling or puffiness, and after a few days you may experience a bronzed appearance. Most swelling will be noticeable on the first morning after treatment and diminish within about 2-3 days. Most patients find that light makeup can cover any post-treatment redness or swelling.
IPL Photofacial treatments produce some expected side effects, depending on the intensity and duration of the treatment, the aggressiveness of injury to the area being treated, and your individual healing characteristics. Generally, patients who are treated more aggressively experience more intense, longer lasting side effects. However, some patients who receive a less aggressive treatment may experience greater-than-expected side effects; others receiving more aggressive treatments may experience side effects of less-thanexpected magnitude.
Notify your practitioner if the severity of your side effects becomes a problem for you.
• Immediately After Treatment:
• Heat sensation can be noticeable for 1 – 3 hours following your treatment.
• Some patients have experienced itching.
• You may feel discomfort. Tylenol may be taken for discomfort.
• Your skin may feel dry, peel, or flake. You may notice a “sandpaper” texture a few days after treatment. This is the treated tissue working its way out of your body as new fresh skin is regenerated.
• Noticeable pinkness over the next few weeks. Most resolves during the 1st week. A rosy “glow” can remain several weeks.
• You may use a bland moisturizer like Aquaphor or Cetaphil cream. Use of cold compresses or cold (not frozen) gel packs helps alleviate the heat sensation.
• First Few Days:
Continue gentle cleansing and moisturizing over the next few days. Once dry skin starts to flake off, please allow your skin to heal and DO NOT scrub, rub, or use exfoliants.
• Swelling usually lasts two to three days. To minimize swelling apply cold compresses to the area for 10 minutes of every hour on the day of treatment, until bedtime. Sleep with head elevated on pillows the first night.
• First Week of Healing:
Keep treated area clean; avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, perspiring, swimming, yoga or exposing skin to heat and sun.
• Skin Care Products: All of your skin care products should be non-irritating and non-clogging for the first week. Aveeno, Dove, Neutrogena, and Cetaphil are easily accessible brands.
• Scrubs, Toners, Bleaching Creams, Glycolic Acid, and Retinoids (Retin A, Tazorac, tretinoin): Your skin will be sensitive for the first week or so after treatment. Do not use products that will cause irritation for a minimum of 5 days after treatment. Do not use bleaching creams, abrasive scrubs, toners, or products that contain glycolyic acids or retinoids. Read the product labels. Retinoids may be resumed 5 full days after treatment as long as treatment area is free of flaking, redness, irritation.
• Normal Skin Care Regimen: Once all dry skin has flaked off and your skin is fully healed, you may resume your routine skin care and make-up products, as long as they are tolerable to you. We recommend a mineral based make-up.
• Sunscreen: Use sunscreen immediately after treatment. Continue to use to prevent sun damage to the skin. Sunscreen should offer broadband protection (UVA and UVB) and have an SPF of 30 or more. Use sunscreen immediately after treatment and apply daily for at least 3 months after your last treatment. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. If direct sun exposure is necessary, wear a hat and clothing that covers the treated area. Diligent sunscreen use may lower the risk of laser-induced hyperpigmentation (darker skin color).
• Moisturizer: Remember that peeling and/or flaking is normal. Therefore, the moisturizer you use should be non-irritating and non-clogging, or else you could develop breakouts. Instead of using 2 separate products, you may use moisturizers that contain SPF30+. Reapply whenever your skin feels dry.
• Abnormal Healing: If you notice any side effects that seem severe or are not listed here, please contact us.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an overvoltage protection device for protecting
the electrical system of a vehicle against overvoltages in particular in a
vehicle having an on-board wiring network, fed by an electrical generator.
2. Background Information
Motor vehicles usually have an electrical system comprising a multiplicity
of electrical devices fed from an on-board network. The on-board wiring
network in turn is fed by an electrical generator. Furthermore, the
on-board network has a battery connected thereto from which the on-board
network is fed when the generator delivers too little electrical energy or
no electrical energy at all. The latter is the case when the engine of the
vehicle is at a standstill.
During operation, overvoltages may occur in the on-board wiring network,
for instance in case of temporary interruptions between the battery and
the on-board network, which may be caused by disconnection of the battery
while the engine, and thus the generator, is running or may be due to
intermittent or loose contacts. Overvoltages may also occur in case of
so-called load dumps, i.e. when electrical equipment of the vehicle is
switched off during operation, such as blower motors, setting motors for
seat adjustments, setting motors for power windows, etc. As a result of
such load dumps, a reduction of the magnetic field present in the
generator occurs and, as is generally known, such reduction leads to
inductively generated voltage pulses that may reach considerably high
voltage and energy values. The pulse height is dependent on the field
excitation of the generator, on the speed thereof and on the load
remaining at the generator at the moment of disconnection from the battery
or at the moment of load dump.
More detailed information in this respect is available from DIN (German
Industrial Standard) 40 839, Part 1, in particular section 4.6.5, ISO/TR
7637/1 to section 22.214.171.124, and from a publication of the automotive supply
company Bosch entitled "Uberspannungsschutz" (overvoltage protection).
Such voltage spikes cause problems in the electrical systems of modern
motor vehicles. Quite a lot of the electrical equipment of such vehicles,
e.g. on-board computers, electronic control devices for anti-lock systems,
the electronic control system for the internal combustion engine, include
integrated semiconductor circuits which may be caused to malfunction due
to overvoltages, or be permanently damaged thereby.
Various attempts have been made to control such harmful interference
voltage pulses. One possibility uses so-called suppressor diodes disposed
either in each of the electrical devices of the electrical system of the
vehicle or centrally at the generator. Such diodes are supposed to limit
the interference voltage pulses to a safe maximum voltage. However, this
solution entails the following problems.
A substantial part of the energy during load dump is converted to heat in a
suppressor diode. Calculations show that the temperature in the suppressor
diode may be increased by approx. 90.degree. C. for example. At ambient
temperatures of about 100.degree. C., as may occur in the engine
compartment of motor vehicles, chip temperatures of 190.degree. C. and
thus created. These temperatures are above the temperatures usually
managable for common semiconductor components.
Furthermore, there is the fact that the voltage limited by the suppressor
diode is strongly dependent on the current and the voltage tolerance range
to be taken into consideration is thus increased considerably. With
suppressor diodes, considering the current dependency thereof, the
tolerance range of the voltage to be limited is between 24 V minimum and
40 V maximum. This leads to considerable problems in the on-board wiring
network, since further protective diodes for limiting lower energy pulses
must be provided above this toleranace range. Thus, the on-board network
is afflicted with positive energy pulses of up to 50 V, despite a
considerable expenditure of protective diodes.
Due to these voltage spikes, the semiconductor components used in the
electronic devices and modules must have a breakdown voltage V.sub.CE0 of
.gtoreq.50 V. This results in considerable additional costs since high
voltage technologies must be employed and the required chip area is
It is known from the afore-mentioned publication "Uberspannungsschutz" to
avoid overvoltages by short-circuiting the generator with the aid of a
thyristor when the generator voltage exceeds a specific overvoltage
threshold. In this case, the thyristor is activated via the gate thereof,
whereby the thyristor changes to a condition of low impedance which
virtually constitutes a short-circuit for the generator. However, this
short-circuit condition can be terminated only by opening the ignition
lock of the vehicle in order to thereby interrupt the voltage suppply of
the overvoltage protection circuit and thus of the thyristor.
This problem is overcome by means of an overvoltage protection circuit as
it is known from the publication "Uberspannungsschutz" as well, which
comprises an automatic activation means, which cancels the short-circuit
of the generator when the interference voltage is over. For this purpose
the thyristor has a relay connected in series therewith which, in case of
activation of the thyristor, has the generator short-circuiting current
flowing therethrough and as a consequence thereof constitutes a path
bridging the anode-cathode path of the thyristor. On the one hand, this
short-circuits the anode-cathode path of the thyristor so that the latter
can switch off. On the other hand, the generator is held in the
short-circuited condition also after switching-off of the thyristor. The
relay will reopen the switch only after the generator current in the relay
winding has dropped to a specific value.
The relay of this known overvoltage protection circuit entails problems. On
the one hand, relays as electromechanical components are subject to
mechanical wear and thus have a correspondingly restricted lifetime.
On the other hand, relays lead to tolerance problems as a result of aging
effects, production leakages etc. In order to safely protect the sensitive
semiconductor components of the electrical system of the vehicle it is
thus necessary to again allow for a relatively large voltage range and to
design the semiconductor components again for relatively high voltage
strengths. Furthermore, besides, due to their inductive properties, relays
react in a comparatively slow manner to electrical changes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to make available an overvoltage
protection device of the type indicated at the outset which, when
semiconductor elements with low breakdown voltage are used, provides safe
protection against overvoltages overcoming the above-mentioned problems.
According to the invention, this object is met in that a switching means
includes a switching transistor means connected in parallel to the
generator, that an evaluation means is provided to which the generator
voltage is applied and which issues a first evaluation signal when a
predetermined overvoltage threshold is exceeded and issues a second
evaluation signal when the value subsequently falls below a predetermined
low voltage threshold, and in that a memory means is provided to which the
evaluation signals can be applied and which controls the switching
transistor means and which stores the respectively received evaluation
signal up to receipt of the respective other evaluation signal and which,
furthermore, during storage of the first evaluation signal controls the
switching transistor means to assume a switching condition
short-circuiting the generator and during storage of the second evaluation
signal controls the switching transistor means to assume a switching
condition not short-circuiting the generator.
By monitoring the generator voltage with respect to upwardly exceeding of
the overvoltage threshold and downwardly exceeding of the low voltage
threshold, switching of the switching transistor means can be guaranteed
at virtually exact voltage thresholds. The voltage thresholds may be set
in an arbitrary manner so that short-circuiting of the generator can also
be effected safely when relatively low overvoltages are exceeded.
Furthermore switching back to the not short-circuited the generator
condition also takes place with high accuracy as regards the low voltage
threshold that may be chosen, an improvement over the use of a relay. By
storing a respective evaluation signal delivered by the evaluation means
until the other evaluation signal occurs, and by utilizing the stored
value for controlling the switching condition of the switching transistor
means, it is guaranteed that the generator, which is short-circuited when
the overvoltage threshold is exceeded, is released from its
short-circuited condition definitely only after detection that the voltage
has dropped below the low voltage threshold.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)
FIG. 1 shows a conventional voltage supply circuit for an on-board wiring
network of a vehicle, in which however an overvoltage protection device
according to the invention is inserted. Connecting points for the onboard
network are designated with "15" and "30".
A generator 11, which often is also termed dynamo, is connected via
terminals D+, D- and DF to a dynamo regulator 13 of usual type which thus
need not be described here in more detail. A battery 14 is connected in
parallel to generator 11. The battery takes over the energy supply of the
on-board network when the generator does not supply sufficient electrical
energy or no electrical energy at all because the generator is turning too
slowly or not turning at all when the internal combustion engine of the
vehicle is at a standstill, respectively. Supply of the bottom 14 to the
on-board network is made via terminal 30. By means of an ignition lock 17,
the generator can be connected into the on-board network. A charge control
lamp 19 is connected in series with the ignition lock 17.
Connected between terminals D+ and D- is an overvoltage protection device
21 according to the invention, which comprises a switch 23 shown in an
open state in FIG. 1 and a control circuit 25 controlling said switch 23
and which will be described in the following text in more detail by way of
FIGS. 3 and 4. On the basis of FIG. 2, the behavior of the supply voltage
source shown in FIG. 1 shall be considered first in a condition when no
overvoltage protection device is provided. FIG. 2 shows in curve patterns
(a), (b) and (c) the generator exciting current, the generator voltage and
the on-board network voltage, respectively, as a function of time t. It is
assumed in this respect that a load jump occurs at a moment of time t1
which changes into a load dump at a moment of time t2. During the load
jump, a higher current is demanded from the generator. Due to the
inductive properties of the generator, the exciting current decreases only
gradually starting as of the time t2. These inductive properties of the
generator also result in a voltage pulse beginning at the load
deactivation at the time t2, as shown in FIG. 2 curve (b). This voltage
pulse in unhindered manner reaches the on-board network and thus the
various electrical devices of the vehicle which are connected to the
on-board wiring network.
This interference voltage pulse is countered by the overvoltage protection
device 21. The latter will now be described by way of FIGS. 3 and 4.
FIG. 3 shows a control circuit 25 and a MOSFET 27 as a switch. MOSFET 27 is
connected between terminal D+ and ground and thus parallel to generator
The control circuit 25 comprises a first comparator 25a and a second
comparator 25b which each receive the generator voltage at terminal D+.
With the aid of reference voltages, not shown in FIG. 3, a response
threshold of, for example, 5 V and 80 mV is preset for comparators 25a and
25b, respectively. These response thresholds constitute an overvoltage
threshold and a low voltage threshold, respectively.
The outputs of the two comparators 25a and 25b are connected to two inputs
of a memory means 31 having its output connected to the gate of MOSFET 27.
When the generator voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the
comparator 25a indicates this by issuing a first evaluation signal to the
memory means 31. Due to input of the first evaluation signal, the memory
means 31 issues a control signal switching MOSFET 27 into the conducting
state. This results in a short-circuit of generator 11. Due to the fact
that the first evaluation signal is retained by the memory means 31, the
MOSFET 27 remains in the conducting state and the generator remains
short-circuited even in case the generator voltage meanwhile has dropped
again below the overvoltage threshold. This condition lasts until the
generator voltage drops below the low voltage threshold, whereby the
comparator 25b is caused to issue a second evaluation signal to the memory
means 31. As a result of this, the memory means 31 delivers to MOSFET 27 a
control signal switching MOSFET 27 into the blocking state and thus
terminating the short-circuit of generator 11. As of this time, the memory
means 31 retains the second evaluation signal until it receives again the
first evaluation signal from comparator 25a when the overvoltage threshold
is again exceeded.
The effect of the overvoltage protection device 21 according to the
invention is shown in FIG. 5. The curves (a), (b) and (c) thereof
illustrate the generator exciting current I.sub.err, the generator voltage
U.sub.D+, and the on-board network voltage U.sub.KL15 and U.sub.KL30,
respectively, versus time. When again taking as basis a load jump and a
subsequent load dump, as shown in FIG. 5 curve (a), there is a steep
decrease of the generator voltage U.sub.D+ to a very low voltage value
essentially at the moment t2 because of the protective effect of the
Overvoltage protection device 21.
As shown in FIG. 5 curve (c), the on-board network voltage U.sub.KL15 and
U.sub.KL30, respectively, remains substantially unchanged during the load
dump time, which is due to the buffering of the battery.
FIG. 5 shows in curves (b) and (c) a brief increase in generator voltage
and terminal voltage, respectively, which is in the shape of a needle
pulse. This will be considered in more detail in the following description
by way of FIG. 6 illustrating an enlarged representation of the curve of
the generator voltage U.sub.D+ in the range of the load dump time.
At the beginning of the load dump, there is an increase in the generator
voltage in the shape of a needle pulse, which however is limited in its
height. Thereafter, there is a steep decrease of the generator voltage to
almost 0 V. The limited needle pulse is produced by the cooperation of a
delay circuit with a delay capacitor C.sub.V and a limiting circuit 33.
The delay circuit has a predetermined delay period and has the effect that
switching of the overvoltage protection device 21 to the protecting state
occurs only when interference voltage pulses occur which are larger in
width than the delay period of the delay circuit. The result obtained
thereby is that the overvoltage protection device 21 does not respond to
every interference pulse (see defined pulses DIN 40839) and thus too
often. The generator voltage possibly could increase in an uncontrolled
manner within the delay period. This is counteracted by limiting circuit
33 by means of which the generator voltage is limited to a predetermined
limitation threshold within the delay period. To this end, MOSFET 27 is
controlled to a medium level during the limitation operation of the
limiting circuit 33.
During the short-circuit of the generator, during which the generator
voltage D+ according to FIG. 6 is lowered to a very low value, the voltage
supply of the circuit components of the overvoltage protection device 21
is maintained with the aid of an internal voltage supply source 35. To
this end, a capacitor C.sub.P is provided that is charged to the generator
voltage at times during which the generator is not short-circuited.
An embodiment of the overvoltage protection device 21 according to the
invention, in the form of an integrated semiconductor device, is shown in
FIG. 4. The integrated circuit comprises five connecting points. One
connecting point V is connected to terminal D+ of the voltage supply
circuit of FIG. 1. One connecting point E is connected to the ground
terminal D- in FIG. 1. One connecting point F serves for connection of the
delay capacitor C.sub.V. One connection point S serves for connection of
capacitor C.sub.P or the internal voltage supply source. And the last
connection point D may be utilized further via an evaluation circuit or
may be connected to a display device.
According to FIG. 4, two comparators K1 and K2 are provided which each have
a first input terminal E11 and E22, respectively, and a second input
terminal E21 and E12, respectively. The output terminals thereof are
connected to setting input SET and resetting input R of a flip-flop 39,
respectively. The output Q of the flip-flop 39 is connected to the gate of
MOSFET 27 and to the evaluation output D.
The inputs E11 and E22 of comparators K1 and K2, respectively, are each
connected to connection point V, E22 directly and E11 via a resistor R1.
The resistor R1 belongs to a voltage divider R1 and R2 which together with
the delay capacitor C.sub.V constitute the delay circuit. The inputs E21
and E12 of the comparators K1 and K2, respectively, have a first reference
voltage Ref1 and, respectively, a second reference voltage Ref2 connected
thereto. For instance, Ref1 may be a voltage of 5 V and Ref2 may be a
voltage of 80 mV.
The connecting points V and S have a diode D connected therebetween which
prevents discharge of the capacitor C.sub.P via MOSFET 27 during
short-circuiting of the generator.
The limiting circuit 33 is constituted by a series connection of a Zener
diode Z and a diode D1. When the generator voltage exceeds a limitation
threshold predetermined by this limiting circuit 33, MOSFET 27 is
controlled at a medium level, thereby effecting limitation of the
generator voltage to a predetermined value.
A thermal protection means (TS) 40 connects MOSFET 27 through when a
specific chip temperature upper threshold is reached. When the chip
temperature reaches a chip temperature lower threshold, MOSFET 27 is
deactivated again. For instance, the upper temperature threshold may be at
150.degree. C. and the lower temperature threshold at 120.degree. C. The
output of the thermal protection means 40 is connected to a first input of
an OR gate circuit 32 having a second input connected to the output of
memory means 31. The output of OR gate circuit 32 is connected to the gate
terminal of MOSFET 27.
The operation of the circuit shown in FIG. 4 is as follows:
When the voltage at terminal D+ rises because of an onsetting overvoltage
pulse, comparator K1, after expiration of the delay time preset by the
delay circuit, switches into a state in which it issues a setting signal
to setting input SET of flip-flop 39. The signal created thereby at the
output Q of flip-flop 39 controls MOSFET 27 into its connected-through or
activated condition. Because of the memory effect of flip-flop 39, the
MOSFET remains activated when the voltage at input E11 of comparator K1
has subsequently decreased. When the voltage across MOSFET 27 drops to a
specific value at the end of the overvoltage pulse and when the value
thereby becomes lower than the low voltage threshold, comparator K2
becomes responsive and resets flip-flop 39 via resetting input R thereof.
MOSFET 27 is thereby deactivated again.
The connection point D in FIG. 4 may have connected thereto either a
diagnosing or evaluating means or a display means for providing a display
signalling the driver of the vehicle of the occurrence of an overvoltage
accompanied by a short-circuit of the generator. This short-circuit is
also indicated by the charge control lamp 19 on line D+. When overvoltages
accompanied by short-circuiting of the generator are indicated frequently,
this may warn the user of the vehicle that the on-board electrical system
of the motor vehicle has a defect.
In case of too frequent high-energy overvoltage pulses, which may occur due
to loose contacts of the on-board network lines or when the dynamo
regulator is defective, the thermal protection means 40 protects the
overvoltage protection device from destruction, with the function of the
overvoltage protection circuit being retained.
In the embodiment depicted in FIGS. 3 and 4, the source-drain path of
MOSFET 27 has a protective diode SD connected in parallel thereto.
The latter provides protection against negative interference pulses on line
D+, see ISO/TR7637/1 section 126.96.36.199. In case of a wrong polarity
connection of the overvoltage protection means, the diode becomes
conductive and the charge control lamp 19 is permanently on.
The overvoltage protection means according to the invention affords the
Upon occurrence of an overvoltage pulse, the maximum voltage at the
on-board network is exactly determined during the delay phase by
limitation to a voltage value predetermined by limiting circuit 33. The
electric strength of the on-board electronic system as a whole can thus be
set to a low level. This permits a considerable reduction of costs.
Due to the use of an electronic switch, the overvoltage protection means
operates without wear and without susceptibility to shocks. It has
considerably smaller dimensions than an overvoltage protection means
employing a relay and thus is considerably less expensive in comparison
The overvoltage protection means according to the invention can be employed
in any on-board network.
It will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the manner of
making and using the claimed invention has been adequately disclosed in
the above written description of the preferred embodiment taken together
with the drawings.
It will be understood that the above description of the preferred
embodiment of the present invention is susceptible to various

In a recent update to the Japanese official website, Square-Enix took the time to announce some more DLC content that will be made available for the game. If you buy Final Fantasy XIII-2’s various CD’s, you’ll receive some added accessories. The game’s single CD includes Diva’s Mic and Diva’s Headphones. The game’s mini album CD includes Goddess’s Bangles and Goddess’s Earrings.
The Diva’s Mic and Diva’s Headphone items available with the first CD will increase item drop rate and gil earning, respectively. When combined together they create a two-accessory chain ability: rare item drop rate up. The Goddess’s Bangle and Earrings will make your character stronger and gain added magic strength. Together they will combine to make another two-accessory chain ability: increased item recovery.
If you combine all four accessories at once, you will be rewarded. With all four equipped, you will gain a four-accessory chain ability: increased CP.
What’s your thoughts on all this DLC being announced? Is it too much? Should all this just be in the game normally, without requiring extra purchases?

Awhile back I attended a Creative Tea Time event. One of the crafts we created was called a "Spooky Spool" where we used vintage images and put them on top of spools. Well for St. Patrick's Day I thought I would recreate these cute spools using March images.
I had gotten this great package of March paper ephemera from Gingham.bigcartel.com. She has these amazing retro kits, you should check them out.
So now I have six little photos that are whimsical and just perfect for March. You could really do this with any of your vintage cars or even photos. The varying heights of the spools work for any shape or size.
I hope this inspires you to create your own and please let me know if you do create your own version. As always, please let me know if you have any questions. | <urn:uuid:c049d31a-6ca9-4895-b18f-268e35f949bd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.kaleidoscopeofcolors.com/2015/02/st-patricks-day-thread-spools-vintage.html | 2024-04-19T11:11:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.962338 | 179 |
(Alani, me with baby in her sling, Blakey was taking a break in the stroller with my mom- who took this, at the The Grove in LA)
I try to keep all my posts about my babies and "everyday life" on my www.kandeeland.com blog...but this was too precious...
this was us yesterday...trying to shop for things like a "fancy" purse that I need for today to go with me to the Emmy Awards, which are the big Hollywood awards for everything on the telly or aka tv.
I am so excited....I have always watched these shows on tv, wondering what it would be like to get to dressed up and be there touching your heels on the red carpet! And lil' ol' me gets to go!! I can't believe it! I am so excited!
This is such an amazing example of all the times I felt so sad because my life felt sad and painful and I couldn't see around the bend in the road that blessing were waiting...
I am so thankful...and God has truly blessed me... it's true he will give you "beauty for ashes"..he will give you blessings for all the hard things you've been through when you trust him with your heart!
I am so rejoicing...if I just could've told myself when I was sad and crying....far from the place I wanted to be, far from my career, far from being in a good relationship, far from being anywhere semi-close to any kind of red carpet....just watching these award shows on tv wondering what it would be like to be there!
I will be there...and you are all in my heart with me! If I could fit you all in my lil sparkly purse I got at the last minute...wait til you see it, you'll never believe how cheap it was! hee hee hee, I would!
I am so rejoicing and dancing the thankful dance for every lil and big blessing in my life! I try to never get all "religious" on you guys...but I just had to say publicly: "Thank you my Savior Jesus, you are the reason and the only reason I am able to be so happy and you are the one who has replaced all the hurt in my life with beautiful blessings!"
Please insert me dancing my happy dance!!! Yay, running around my me room to get ready for the Emmy's---I can't believe it! (screams of excitement!)

Low barriers to internal rotation in the microwave spectrum of 2,5-dimethylfluorobenzene
J. Chem. Phys.
The remote sensing observations of the atmospheres of the Earth and of other planets or of the interstellar medium provide numerous high quality absorption/emission spectra. The analysis of these data is based on theoretical treatments and spectral analyses as well as on laboratory spectroscopic measurements. The studies carried at LISA thus include the development and use of laboratory experiments and theoretical models, and of some software for the analysis of the spectra and remote sensing data.

We arrived home last night from three weeks in Croatia, enjoying vacation days as well as our week at JV Kid's camp.
What a gift to experience each day there.
There were so many highlights, ones I hope to write about in the coming days.
But definitely one of them was sharing our days with sweet little Kaylie! She had no idea what vacation with her new family meant...like a two-hour hike up a steep mountain one evening!
But she took it all in stride and was a wonderful addition to vacation and camp! | <urn:uuid:d94f07f5-84c5-49ec-b5c7-896d98c7786a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.livingbylysa.com/2011/08/three-weeks.html | 2024-04-19T13:11:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.990927 | 113 |
The point I’m trying to make is that the event was a little polarizing. In the wake of this, moviegoers find themselves searching for some common ground to stand on. These times of uncertainty require a thing over which we can bond; all lovers of film cry out into the night for something to bind us together as viewers of cinema. Viewers, I am here to tell you that I’ve found the thing that moviegoers can all—universally and with 100% conviction—agree on: How fucking weird is it that Suicide Squad won an Oscar? The answer, of course, is “Super weird.” I feel like nobody is talking about this. Sure, it was for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and yes, it only had two competitors and neither of those had stand-out hair or makeup, but goddammit! Suicide Squad? Really guys? There was no other movie that we could have given that one to?Suicide Squad isn’t a good movie. Suicide Squad isn’t even the best Suicide Squad movie, and as far as most audiences are concerned there’s only one of them. (In case you’re wondering, that honor goes to 2014’s Batman: Assault on Arkham.) Speaking as a comic fan, with Marvel putting out consistent content that ranges from satisfactory to amazing, it’s incredibly unfortunate that we find ourselves in a position where the Academy has rewarded mediocrity. I have no idea whether this award win will affect the quality of the next Suicide Squad film—it probably won’t—but in my eyes this sets a precedent saying that Suicide Squad was award-worthy, and anybody who saw that movie knows full well that it wasn’t.
I want the DC Cinematic Universe to improve, and handing out Participation Oscars is not the way to do that. So yes, dear readers, let’s take a moment to join hands, look each other dead in the eye and say, “Yes. It’s super fucking weird that Suicide Squad won an Academy Award.” I know you all want to. |

Cells group together in the body to form tissues - a collection of similar cells that group together to perform a specialized function. There are 4 primary tissue types in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nerve tissue.
1.Epithelial Tissue - The cells of epithelial tissue pack tightly together and form continuous sheets that serve as linings in different parts of the body. Epithelial tissue serves as membranes lining organs and help to keep the body's organs separate, in place and protected. Some examples of epithelial tissue are the outer layer of the skin, the inside of the mouth and stomach, and the tissue surrounding the body's organs.
2.Connective Tissue - There are many types of connective tissue in the body. Generally speaking, connective tissue adds support and structure to the body. Most types of connective tissue contain fibrous strands of the protein collagen that add strength to connective tissue. Some examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone and fat tissue. In addition to these more recognizable forms of connective tissue, blood is also considered a form of connective tissue.
3.Muscle Tissue - Muscle tissue – of which there are three types - is a specialized tissue that can contract, becoming shorter and thicker. Muscle tissue contains the specialized proteins actin and myosin that slide past one another and allow movement. Examples of muscle tissue are contained in the muscles throughout your body.
4.Nerve Tissue - Nerve tissue contains two types of cells: neurons and glial cells. Nerve tissue has the ability to generate and conduct electrical signals in the body and carry messages to your brain. These electrical messages are managed by nerve tissue in the brain and transmitted down the spinal cord to all parts of your body.

As Lead Artist of a muralism workshop the artist will direct the entire creative process as well as the logistics of the workshop, from the design process to the execution of the mural.
One of the greatest responsibilities of the lead artist is to coordinate the workshops so as that all the participants (volunteers, assistants, interns and brigades) work together in all aspects of the process. The lead artist will, by example, promote the collaboration of all participants.
To that end he/she will count on the support of his/her paid assistants, to whom the lead artist will delegate responsibilities according to his/her judgement. The IMVG will serve as logistic support in all that is possible and practicable.
In addition the lead artist will transmit his/her own style and working processes, creating a a work influenced by his/her own artistic trajectory while at the same time reorientated and influenced by the ideas of all the workshop participants. | <urn:uuid:d5f49a05-97f6-4dc7-9373-e2d29a2bc781> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.muralismopublico.com/p/en/participate/work-with-the-imvg/lead-artist.php | 2024-04-19T12:36:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.956858 | 192 |
NO WORST TRACKS THIS WEEK. There's been so much good music released in the last 7 days that I could barely keep up with it all. STOP RELEASING ALL THIS GOOD MUSIC! Here are some of the tracks that stood out the most.
‘Slow’ - black midi
UK noise rockers black midi have dropped this new
wild single from their upcoming album Cavalcade. It’s a proggy and jazzy
assault of jittery guitar riffs, dynamic drumming and skittish saxophone. The
only ‘slow’ thing about it is the vocals, which seem to hang sleepily in the
background, lulling the listener through the chaotic instrumental vortex. It’s a total adventure that keeps you
guessing at every turn as to where it’s going to go. A trippy video accompanies
it, which was apparently partially created by AI.
‘Pamphlets’ – Squid
A new black midi track AND a new Squid track in one
week??? The UK rock scene is spoiling us with these loopy guitar tracks. ‘Pamphlets’
happens to be an eight minute song about someone being too scared to go outside
because their letterbox is being flooded by right-wing propaganda pamphlets. Instrumentally,
it’s one of the more straightforward tracks we’ve heard from Squid’s upcoming album – the semi-dissonant guitars and cartoonishly bellowed vocals are still
pretty bonkers, but the racing drum beat is pretty steady. It suggests the fact
that the stream of pamphlets is never-ending. Like that scene from the first Harry
Potter movie, but instead of Hogwarts letters it’s Tommy Robinson flyers.
‘Please’ - Jessie Ware
I’ve only recently got around to listening to
Jessie Ware’s 2020 album What’s Your Pleasure?. It’s got some pretty fantastic
dance-pop bangers on it. This new track ‘Please’ is set to appear on a deluxe
version of What’s Your Pleasure?. It’s a similarly glossy tune in which
Jessie lays hook after hook over a groovy house beat.
‘All My Metaphors’ – Shiloh Mae
‘All My Metaphors’ sees Bay Area singer-songwriter Shiloh
Mae reflecting on how all her songwriting metaphors revolve around water and
thunderstorms, and the inner turmoil this could possibly represent. Swirls of
reverb-soaked guitar carry the track along. As you might expect, it features an
array of sea and storm inspired metaphors. STREAM the track above. DIVE in. Let
the music WASH over you. Okay, okay, I’ll stop…
‘LISOLEIL’ – Malone The Chemist
I’m loving how creative and dynamic this Ontario
rapper’s delivery is. He seems to switch effortlessly from slow and lethargic
to tight and choppy. Malone has stated that JID was a big influence on this
track, which I can definitely hear in his tone of voice. The reversed pianos
and long drones of sub-bass making up the beat meanwhile perfectly compliment the constantly
morphing vocal delivery – the whole thing has a slightly woozy feel to it.
‘Cowboys’ - Slayyyter
LA pop singer Slayyyter takes a break from glitchy
hyperpop production in favour of fuzzy guitars on this new track ‘Cowboys’. It
kind of sounds like a poppier version of something Sleigh Bells might come out
with and I’m digging it. The hook is ridiculously catchy and there are lots of fun
cowboy lyrical references thrown in. A Western-themed video accompanies it
featuring Slayyyter dressed in an array of eye-poppingly racy outfits. | <urn:uuid:c1d58c49-3c58-410a-8c77-c524939e6667> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.musicrelatedjunk.com/2021/04/best-new-tracks-of-week-30042021-black.html | 2024-04-19T12:13:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.938562 | 852 |
Who doesn’t love cookie dough? If you don’t have enough time to read through the entire article, don’t worry! Keep reading for a quick breakdown of whether or not it is safe for you to heat up cookie dough in the microwave.
To cut a long story short, yes – it is possible for you to safely microwave cookie dough as a way to heat it up!
Even though it is generally recommended that cookie dough should be heated in the oven (as it helps to ensure the best quality taste and eating experience) cookie dough can also be heated in the microwave.
However, in order to prevent it from being burned, it is imperative that you make sure to follow the heating instructions provided to you from the manufacturer.
This can typically be found on the back of the packaging, and you will be able to find the relevant instructions for cooking your cookie dough both in the microwave, as well as in a conventional oven.
Whether you love nothing more than adding yummy, warm cookie dough to your ice cream to treat yourself just that little bit extra, or you’re the type of person that loves tasty cookies – one of the biggest questions that many people find themselves asking is whether or not it is suitable for cookie dough to be used in the microwave.
To make sure that you are able to enjoy delicious, warm and gooey cookie dough that will taste just as good as it looks – just keep reading to learn everything you need to know about warming up your cookie dough in the microwave!
What Is Cookie Dough?
In order to make sure that you are able to prepare cookie dough correctly, it’s a good idea to make sure that you are well aware of what it is, exactly – as this will allow you to have a better understanding of how to cook it.
Essentially, cookie dough is a mixture of all of the ingredients that make up a cookie (such as flour, egg, sugar and chocolate chips) that is then packaged and sold, with the main intention for it to be then rolled out and baked into cookies.
Even though you can certainly make cookie dough yourself at home, it can also be purchased in grocery stores for those who are looking for a more convenient way to prepare their homemade cookies.
With that being said, it is very important to make sure that you remember that cookie dough is not the same as a fresh cookie or even a half-baked cookie.
In order to enjoy cookie dough safely, you will first need to make sure that it has been baked or heated up so that all of the ingredients will be safe to eat.
More often than not, the most common way that this can be achieved is through baking the raw cookie dough in an oven, although many people find that opting to use a microwave oven is a far more convenient and quick option.
This can lead many people to wonder which one might be the best heating option to use – and this brings us to our next point.
What’s The Difference Between Using The Microwave And The Oven?
Before we get any further into this guide, we first think that it would be a good idea to break down what the main differences between using a microwave and using an oven are when preparing cookie dough.
Generally speaking, when using an oven to prepare cookie dough, the conventional oven will use either gas or electric in order to gradually warm the dough inside the cooking chamber.
Usually, a fan situated on the inside of the oven will circulate hot air throughout the cooking chamber, and this is well-suited for cookie dough as the consistent temperature will allow the cookie dough to not only be evenly heated, but have a golden and crispy texture from being baked.
On the other hand, you also have the option of using a microwave oven to prepare your cookie dough instead.
Unlike a conventional oven, a microwave has the ability to use electromagnetic radiation to heat up/cook food, and it can do so in a far quicker time than a conventional oven is able to.
Due to the electromagnetic radiation used, the food is able to heat up very fast, which makes it a great option for those in a rush or simply in the mood to enjoy some yummy, freshly prepared cookies in just a few minutes.
Still, even though many people find it more convenient and easy to prepare raw cookie dough in the microwave instead of the oven, is it safe to prepare cookie dough in the microwave? This brings us to our next section.
Is It Safe To Microwave Cookie Dough?
As you will have been able to see from the section that we have just covered above, it is possible for you to microwave cookie dough if you would like instead of opting for the more traditional oven method.
So long as it is done correctly, the only main difference between the two is that the microwave is a far quicker option than using the oven.
Still, even though it is safe to use cookie dough in the microwave, you’re going to need to make sure that you are doing it correctly!
With that being said, if you are planning to prepare your cookie dough in the microwave, you are going to need to make sure that you are following the instructions listed on the packaging that your cookie dough has come in.
It is very important to make sure that you are following the instructions provided to you by your cookie dough’s manufacturer, as they will be specific to the type of cookie dough that you are using.
Along with this, we also recommend that you ensure that you are using microwave-friendly mugs and bowls while also ensuring that you are refraining from using metal, as this is very dangerous and could lead to an explosion.
Last but not least, if you are planning to prepare cookie dough in your microwave as a quicker and more convenient alternative to preparing it in the oven, then we also recommend that you make sure you are keeping an eye on the dough as it heats in the microwave.
Unlike the oven, the microwave is a far quicker way to heat and soften cookie dough, so it can be easy to accidentally overcook it and lead it to become hard, burnt and inedible.
As a general rule of thumb, you should ensure that you are only cooking your cookie dough for a maximum of 60 seconds – anything longer than that is going to be far too long.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does It Take To Microwave Cookie Dough?
Unlike cooking cookie dough in the oven which can take anywhere from ten to fifteen minutes, if you opt to heat your cookie dough up in the microwave as an alternative, then you can expect the warming process to be far quicker – around 10 to 40 seconds, to be exact!
For this reason, if you are planning on warming up your cookie dough in the microwave, you are going to need to make sure that you are keeping an eye on it to prevent it from overcooking and becoming inedible.
Along with this, we also recommend that you make sure to read the instructions listed on the packaging of the cookie dough that you have purchased – as you will find all of the relevant instructions for how to heat up your cookies in your microwave correctly.
Can You Microwave Cookie Dough To Make A Cookie?
Yes! It is possible to prepare a cookie in the microwave out of your cookie dough!
In order to do this, you are first going to need to make sure that you have split your cookie dough portion that you are going to be using into little pieces.
Then, after you have done this, you can then go ahead and place a smaller piece of dough that you have broken into a mug that can be used in the microwave.
After you have done that, all you are then going to need to do is go ahead and place the mug containing your cookie dough piece into the microwave and allow it to heat for around 45 seconds.
Can You Microwave Raw Cookie Dough?
Yes! It is possible to microwave raw cookie dough as an alternative to using the traditional oven method which can take quite a long time.
For the best results when warming raw cookie dough in the microwave, we strongly recommend that you make sure to read the instructions on the packaging to ensure that you are able to prepare the cookie dough correctly.

It is 2:00am. Me and JD just got back from Dell Children's Hospital. Neely, Kat, and Josh are still there. Neely has been admitted (Round 4) to the PICU, and they're still running tests. Still waiting for labs... It's Thursday... (well, technically, Friday now). This always seems to happen on a Thursday.
Today was one of the scarier days... It's still scary. When JD and I left (JD not having slept in well over 24 hours), Neely was still groaning and moaning every time she drew breath... but apparently it was better than when she arrived by EMS... I'm gonna leave that to Kat to post about later...
I just wanted to talk about my sister. My sister is incredible. Today, I witnessed one of the most courageous acts I've ever seen. When the doctor first arrived to get Neely's history, Kat spoke. As she spoke with the doctor, the nurse and ER tech starting doing things to Neely that caused the most blood-curdling, agonizing screams I've ever heard come from anyone or anything. It was horrifying. And given that she already seemed so fragile and is mostly a happy baby, we were all visibly disturbed. Yet, through tears streaming down her face, Kat held it together and gave Neely's history in a way that none of us could. (I hope the Lucquete boys aren't offended when I say that Kat's the best talker among all of us.) You could hear Kat's heart break through each squeal and plea... but she handled the entire situation with an extraordinary grace under fire.
True, answering a doctor's questions shouldn't command a medal or anything... but imagine the thing or person you love most in the world screaming in a way that shakes you to your bones... and it is your every instinct to drop everything and offer even the tiniest bit of comfort. Imagine trying to hold your mind and your composure in the face of that insanity.
Maybe it's especially meaningful for me because I grew up with her. I'm not used to seeing that steadiness, especially under the most extreme circumstances. But she held it together. I feel like it held us together. It almost felt like a rallying cry. She didn't break, so no one else could.
Through this entire ordeal, my sister has amazed me. She's an amazing mother.
As for Neely... You look at Neely and marvel at how this seemingly fragile baby can withstand so much... and smile. My family is made of sturdy stuff. And I'm so beyond proud to be a part of it.
Other random thoughts...
- As unfortunate as this sounds, some of my fondest memories from all this are gonna be when me, Kat, Josh, and JD are standing around Neely's hospital bed bantering. We bring out the silly and the fun and the love in each other. The best laughs I've had lately are those times, and I hope we're not doing Neely a disservice when we surround her with laughter... Maybe we're just making up for lost time at the dinner table.
- Special thanks to Aunt Judy and Aunt/Nurse Caty for coming by tonight. Judy was at the ER with me and Kat before Neely, Josh and JD even showed up. As always, she brought some much-needed levity and tender loving care to a rough situation. Caty arrived a little later and stayed with us 'til around 1:00am. She's been my niece's guardian angel since Neely's NICU days, and it sure brings comfort to us that her guardian angel is one of the best nurses in the world.
- We're all very-much looking forward to the BBQ fundraiser. We are so very blessed to have friends doing this for us. I will try to post more about this later as every single email from Lori that Kat shows me about the event makes me so insanely happy.
"Thank you" will never be enough to the kind people that are helping us through this time. We wish we could do more to show our gratitude. Your kindness sustains us. Each thought and prayer. Each message and email. Each like and comment and donation... All of it helps us to face what's next. So, until we can do more, please know that we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. | <urn:uuid:5c08166b-8c3e-4859-ac2e-ce9a4832aedc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.neelyssong.com/2012/09/neely-returns-to-dell-my-big-sister-and.html | 2024-04-19T12:05:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.976991 | 907 |

The recent Atlantica Centre for Energy commentary about making N.B. a “have” province, by comparing it to Saskatchewan, uses only one financial figure. It predicts that shale gas could provide $900 million annually to our economy.
This is a hopeful speculation.
Perhaps examining some actual figures would be more instructive.
In Saskatchewan, the last budget ran a $303-million deficit. By contrast, N.B. just balanced its budget. The Saskatchewan deficit was smaller than predicted, because it first drew down a $300 million contingency fund, and raised its sales tax from five per cent to six per cent.
The province shut down the Crown-owned Saskatchewan Transportation Co., plans to eliminate 1,250 government jobs and will decrease wages. It slashed funding to libraries, community-based organizations and to funeral services for people on social assistance, though later it had to restore these cuts.
These austerity moves were in response to the previous year’s $1.3 billion dollar deficit, due in large part to low resource prices.
I would remind Atlantica that shale gas prices have been so low for so long that virtually every surviving shale gas company in the world is in deep debt, and investor confidence is finally wearing thin.
Saskatchewan finance minister Donna Harpauer noted that non-renewable resource revenue is now just 10 per cent of the province’s total revenue, compared to 32 per cent in 2008-09. She said one of the keys to their financial future is to “shift from our reliance on volatile resource revenue.”
This has added emphasis since, according to their auditor general, the province will face a $4 billion cost for cleaning up 24,000 inactive oil and gas wells. The fund for doing so currently has $11 million.
So, which part of the Saskatchewan model will make New Brunswick a “have” province? | <urn:uuid:32f69c9b-4084-4671-b575-af7e2c6b4dc2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.noshalegasnb.ca/shale-gas-wont-change-n-b-s-fiscal-woes/ | 2024-04-19T13:29:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.954364 | 407 |

A good lot of them are used for roleplaying on Ongoing Worlds.

A journey of surprises to the east
Mr Mirek Dabrowski, Founder, openTrans Management System
If you are familiar with the Chinese transportation and freight industry, it is hard not to have heard of openTrans Management System, more widely known as oTMS. But what is a little less unknown is the journey of one of its founders, Mr Mirek Dabrowski, a Polish native who spent the last 15 years in China.
Upon graduating from the university in 1998, he initially planned to continue his studies and only applied for two jobs – one was a global multinational consumer goods company and another to Maersk, a company which he has not heard of before. The latter promised expatriation after a 2-year education and provided a job rotation programme, while the interviewer for the former acted “rather arrogant”. It was easy to see which option appealed to Mr Dabrowski, and it marked the beginning of the Polish’s journey in China.
At the Starting Line
“My position with Maersk was something I did not actually plan, and it led me to China when the company sent me here upon graduation from their international management trainer programme (also known as M.I.S.E). I was actually unwilling to be here. A fellow Polish trainee was expatriated to Sao Paolo, Brazil, and at that time, I would have given anything to swap places with him,” explained the co-founder of oTMS.
Mr Dabrowski arrived in Beijing in September 2000, and was put on a 5-month full-time Mandarin intensive study in a group of eight trainees. However, initially, he did not put much passion and interest into learning the language.
“On hindsight, this moment, as well as a few others in my life, was a defining period in my life, although at the time I may have been frustrated by not having control over matters such as this. I thought I would just see out my three-year contract and leave China. But I soon found out that working in China was far more exciting than working in Poland, even though the latter was considered to be growing fast too. The working environment here is extremely vibrant and exhilarating,” said Mr Dabrowski.
For the first year, Mr Dabrowski worked at Maersk Line shipping office, before entering the warehousing & distribution unit of Maersk Logistics in his second year. In his three-year stint with Maersk Logistics China, he held six different positions before leaving the company for a position at DHL Solutions.
Learning the Twists & Turns of Logistics
Mr Dabrowski considered his five-year journey with DHL as even more exciting than his stint at Maersk, although his position has similar jobscopes. His role has evolved from setting up a team from scratch to going through various phases of growth culminated with an acquisition of Exel, including two years of post-merger integration.
“At the end, I was the last member of the both original DHL and Exel teams in China who was still in the Vice President capacity. I would have loved to stay longer but I was jaded with working in a large organisation where bigger teams and higher titles actually mean lower ability to make a meaningful impact,” explained the 40-year old founder.
That was when he took up a position at DSV, a Danish transport company offering road, air, sea and logistics transport services. Although he has not heard of the company before, a discussion with his then-future boss revealed the exact kind of opportunity he was looking for. He was given full autonomy, including P&L responsibility, to build up the company’s contract logistics team from a very small base. Although he “overestimated the difficulty to bring major clients early, or rather underestimated their aversion to risks of trying something new”, he still managed to triple the company’s revenue, which leaded to an increase in EBITA several times over, not considered a small feat especially in light of the 2008 financial crisis.
“Looking back, I was lucky to work in each of these companies in this exact sequence. For my first job, Maersk really invested heavily in young people and provided excellent development platform. Then I moved to DHL, which, as the largest contract logistics provider, is the perfect place for me to increase my professional level of expertise. DSV came at a momentous stage of my career where it provided me with a great platform for self-fulfilment with their excellent culture of no-nonsense financial results orientation,” said Mr Dabrowski.
Regardless of the several job positions he has held, he has been in the contract logistics industry until his business venture with oTMS in 2013.
Moving on to oTMS
Mr Dabrowski and his co-founder started oTMS to fulfil a major ambition – to transform the Chinese trucking industry and improve opportunities for both companies and indviduals by bringing common sense innovation there.
While all the necessary technology is already in place in China in 2013, the core process is fragmented and inefficient. As a result, both transport providers and transport users face serious challenges that will not go away unless common solutions are found. The idea is to connect shippers, third-party logistics providers, trucking companies, drivers and even consignees with one another and have a seamless ecosystem that allows mutual benefits and a shared workflow.
“oTMS was officially born in May 2011 when we pivoted away from exchange concept towards addressing much more practical and acute need for improvement in execution, track & trace and billing of transport shipments. The coding began in November 2011 using software development house in Poland and in January 2013, we went live with our first two paying customers – DSV and Bestseller (owner Jack & Jones, Only, Vero Moda and Selected brands), who was also DSV customer at the time. We were lucky to have great customers, colleagues and investors in our early years, as this was essential for every start-up,” commented Mr Dabrowski.
The company’s goal is to make this ecosystem into an open, yet trustworthy community, so that it will lead to more business opportunities. oTMS is not and never be a 4PL – just software platform – a utility that is available to everyone. | <urn:uuid:248dc266-1d6d-4799-8306-95e336ecfa5e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.otms.com/en/news-en/journey-of-surprise-to-the-east/ | 2024-04-19T12:38:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.982503 | 1,337 |
Spanish Lemon Almond Cake / Tarta de Santiago
There's a Spanish take-away spot next to my work that sells the most delicious Spanish foods. During my pregnancy, I would go often for their manchego cheese sandwich as it was one of the few things I could eat without getting sick. They also serve amazing olives, feta cheeses, and other home-made Spanish delicacies.
During one of my breaks I tried the only sweet cake they sell: Tarta de Santiago. The lady from the shop explained it was a traditional Spanish cake made from almond flour and lemon. I brought it back to my work and shared with a collegue who also shares my love for sweet things. We were amazed at this cake! It was incredibly moist and bursting with so much flavour.
My collegue said, "you should try to bake this!" So here is my first attempt. I plan on perfecting this recipe, so there will be more variations of this recipe to come. This recipe I found online on a Spanish food website. You will need a lot of lemon zest, and I can't live without my trusted lemon zester. After baking this cake, I cannot wait to go back to Spain and try this recipe there as well. I am actually visiting Moraira, Spain in April. Costa Del Sol, here I come!
Recipe from Caroline's Cooking:
- 4 eggsInstructions:
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line an 8 inch/20cm round cake tin with parchment on the bottom and rub the sides with a little butter. | <urn:uuid:f141006f-03e6-4843-99c0-2683caf439c4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.parislovespastry.com/2023/01/spanish-lemon-almond-cake-tarta-de.html | 2024-04-19T11:18:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.972274 | 326 |
Hey, y'all! Today, I had the honor of being a guest blogger at The CSI Project!
I've been a fan of the weekly contests that happen there for a very long time, so I was so excited to be able to share a post with The CSI Project readers!

When it comes to matters of weight, people are very sensitive. In particular, when it comes to clothing, you have to be careful about what you have and what you name specific clothing items. Target has found this out the hard way as the retailer has landed in hot water over its color names. Target has two versions of its Mossimo Women’s Kimono Maxi Dress. The standard version is dark heather gray; the plus sized version is called manatee gray. Target has been selling a “manatee gray” plus-sized dress.
The difference in dress color name, says Targets, is that the two groups of clothing buyers didn’t communicate with one another to standardize dress color names across size barriers. Target has a lot of other products in manatee gray, from towels to pillows, but there’s a big difference between manatee gray towels and a manatee gray plus-size dress. After all, no one is going to be fat-shamed by towels, unless maybe they’re not big enough to cover properly or won’t dry someone off totally.

Amazing how much stuff some photographers carry around. I think he needs to hire a donkey or something to carry it all.
We did meet him at another point where he was unloading his duffle bag, full of photographic equipment and I said to him "ahhh you are a professional photographer"...and he said "no only amateur"....YIKES. Thank you for your comments.

I normally run Windows Vista RC1 x64 but recently decided it was time for my semi-annual Linux test. This is where I install the latest released version of a popular Linux distro and attempt to use it for as long as I can stand. The idea of a free (as in speech) desktop is appealing but it's a non-starter if it holds me back in any way. Remember I said that I normally run Windows so I am referring to holding me back in any way that I'm not used to.
Anyway, the candidate was Ubuntu 6.06 and I only used it for a few hours. Two of those hours were spent trying to get my dual-screen setup working. Another hour was spent getting Skype to work (it did work but I had to google for several posts and then force install some packages). Evolution crashed every time it exited. My USB headphone worked but only after I logged out and back in. Even then I could not get my main speakers and the USB headphones to work at the same time. I was not able to play any of my ripped music, which is encoded to either MP3 or WMA (yes I know there are solutions for this but by this time I had lost interest).
Lately we've heard alot about XGL and all of it's eye candy. Larry recently blogged on this and posted a link to the shell team's blog. This post specifically talks about there not being "floppy" windows in Vista. While including links to some cool demos from 2003, the gist of the post is that while wobbling your windows is technically possible, it might not be the right thing for the shipping product. The point is made that Microsoft has issues to consider that a Linux vendor can't possibly imagine. The videos in the link clearly show that technically Microsoft has everything they need to shake, rattle, and roll Windows anyway you want. I also think Larry is right that we will likely see DWM hacks for Vista that add wobbly windows and all sorts of other goodies.
ESR recently suggested that the Linux community needs to make compromises in order to more directly challlenge the Microsoft monopoly. He's right. The gap is widening and wobbly windows is not nearly enough to close it. | <urn:uuid:09861562-d2d1-43fa-9792-c030b3aed6bc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.reggieburnett.com/2006/09/xgl-is-cool-but-it-takes-more-than-that.html | 2024-04-19T11:28:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.977943 | 462 |
Tenerife, Canary Islands -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/11/2018 --Tanteo, a new mobile app that lets family and friends track their kid's sporting event updates and scores as they happen in real time, this week officially launched the mobile platform for all individuals wishing to follow their kid's basketball games.
Based on a community app concept that enables users to create their team and share it with other app users to follow, Tanteo is totally customizable, with teams choosing their administrators, registering upcoming games, and queuing up forthcoming events so everyone stays informed.
"Sometimes, we can't predict when life gets in the way of precious memories with our kids," said CEO of Tanteo, Alejandro Zerolo. "Work meetings run late and traffic happens, preventing us from making the entirety of the basketball game. Now with Tanteo, individuals can sign into the app and follow key game updates and highlights as they happen in real time."
Tanteo features live updates regarding points, player changes, fouls, and quarters, as well as simple interface that broadcasts the scoreboard. The app stores the game history, providing app users with the ability to relive the games step-by-step when they have time. Lastly, the app stores statistics, presenting the numbers after the game so users can really study the outcomes.
Once a game goes live, team members in attendance activate the team scoreboard and share it second by second with all of the team's followers. Notifications indicate changing quarters and halftimes so those en route have are informed about remaining time.
"Now, parents and friends don't have to panic while they rush to get to the basketball game," said Zerolo. "Team users involve them in the game, even if they aren't physically in attendance. With the information, parents can engage their kids about every game detail, providing kids with a sense of pride. Spread the word on the launch of our Tanteo app today."

So. My plan today was simple. Drop off some laundry, take a tour of the Bodleian Library, get a look inside the Sheldonian Theatre, see the exhibit of Bodleian treasures at the Weston Library, grab some lunch, and spend the rest of the day wandering through the Ashmolean Museum before picking up my laundry and returning to the hotel.
This mostly worked out, with one minor hiccup I’ll get to.
I got the laundry dropped off and an assurance it would be ready this evening. That was a load off my mind, though it was also somewhat expensive. They know when they’ve got you over a barrel, don’t they? Still, I needed clean pants, so there ya go.
After that, I walked back to the Bodleian Library1 and bought a ticket for the hour-long tour.
While I waited for the tour to start, I grabbed a couple more pictures.
The tour was fascinating, but a little unsatisfying. Because the Bodleian is a working library, and exams are coming on, we had to be very quiet and careful to stay out of everyone’s way. Also, except for the School of Divinity, we weren’t allowed to take photographs.
The tour even took us inside the Radcliff Camera, that I’ve talked about previously. What I didn’t know was that, originally, the ground floor of the Camera was open to the air, with open arches, providing a small sheltered area that was used for public gatherings, small markets, etc. The arches were closed up in the 18th century, when the library started needing more room for storage.
The Weston Library, where I went next, is hosting an exhibit called Marks of Genius. They are displaying a number of books, documents, and artifacts from the Bodleian’s collection. These were all available for photography, and I might have gone a little nuts in there. Here’s is a limited selection of my pictures.
After that, I walked back across the street to the Sheldonian Theatre. This is another building shared by all the colleges, and it’s used mainly for matriculation and graduation ceremonies.
The cupola of the Sheldonian gives a nice panoramic view of the city. Unfortunately, the windows are about five feet off the ground, which limits the view somewhat.
I grabbed a sandwich and a drink, then, and walked down to the Ashmolean, where I sat on a bench and ate my lunch before going in.
Which is when I learned that the Ashmolean is closed on Mondays.
By this time, I was tired, and my knees were twinging, so I decided to take an afternoon off2 and rest up. Besides, I had The Imitation Game on my computer, and really wanted to see it after my tour of Bletchley Park yesterday. Quick review – fun movie, but the history of everything was… simplified. An interesting starting point for learning about Bletchley Park, but shouldn’t be the only source.
And then I went and picked up my laundry and some dinner.
Tomorrow, I’m off to York. Oxford was great, and I could spend another couple of days here, but I’m starting to think that’s going to be the same at each of my stops.
Guess I’ll have to come back.
I should specify that this is the Old Bodleian Library. There was a New Bodleian Library, but it was renamed the Weston Library. People still refer to the old Bodleian Library as the Old Bodleian Library. I dunno. [↩]
I say take an afternoon off, but this was like 3:00. So, take part of an afternoon off. [↩]
This morning, I went on the Oxford walking tour I had booked. The day was a little overcast, and windy, and cool, but that’s okay. There were also a lot of people in the Oxford gowns, along with well-dressed family members, roving the streets, which made me think there was a graduation ceremony in the offing1. Nothing wrong with that, of course, except that it meant some places were off-limits to us tourists.
But we set off as folks gathered, and saw some very cool things.
The stark contrast between the forbidding exteriors of the colleges and the sumptuous, well-groomed interiors really struck me. More than most universities I’ve seen, it was a profound delineation between the closed, pampered collegiate life, and the rougher, more earthly life in the real world.
Not that I consider academic life to necessarily be the ivory tower that this sort of display makes me think of. It’s more that, looking at this, I understand where that sort of idea comes from.
Anyway. We left New College, and headed back to a couple of other stops. The crowds prevented some of the pictures I took to be much good.
After the tour, I stuck my head in a couple of pubs, looking to find some lunch, but they were all packed solid with graduation celebrants. So, I wandered down the street to the Natural History Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum.
Honestly, I wasn’t too interested in the Natural History Museum, but you need to go through it to get to the Pitt Rivers Museum. Still, there were some cool things in the Natural History Museum. For example:
Through the back of the gallery is the Pitt Rivers Museum.
But this was the thing that totally blew my mind and convinced me of the basic surrealism of the world.
So, here’s how those came about. Apparently, the hill tribes of the interior of Papua New Guinea made these big war shields. They painted them with images of ancestors and helpful spirits, binding the power of those things to aid them in war. When they started running into Europeans armed with firearms, the shields turned out to be less than useful in combat.
But they got their hands on some Phantom comic books. The idea of the Phantom – The Man Who Cannot Die, The Ghost Who Walks – as a defender of a native people against pirates and other exploiters resonated with them. They started to paint the Phantom on their shields to invoke his power, though they became items of ritual and ceremony rather than war against the Europeans.
That just made my day.
After that, I managed to have lunch in The King’s Arms, a pub that may2 have hosted the first performance of Hamlet outside of London. Shakespeare himself, while he was with The King’s Men, may have drunk there when he was in Oxford, which was not uncommon.
It was a good chicken and bacon pie, and a nice pint of cider.
Then I wandered a bit, feeling a little tired, and found the Oxford Martyrs’ Monument.
I was tired, then, and saw that I was right near a movie theatre, so I went and saw Avengers: The Age of Ultron again. Then, back to the hotel to do up this long post and plan for tomorrow.
I’m planning to head out to Milton Keynes tomorrow and see the Bletchley Park museum. Just as well, because apparently there’s a fun run going on in Oxford tomorrow, and it’ll shut down a few things. Then, on Monday, I’m going to hit the rest of the things I want to see here.
Oxford is awesome.
Turns out there were at least two: one for Trinity College, and one for Wadham College.

This is not an allegorical tale, nor is it a cautionary tale. It’s straightforward, simple. Everything about it is inappropriate except its conclusion.
Sometime early in 1998, I was scratching and picking at what I thought was a pimple on my back. It was exquisitely placed, in that I could not see it no matter how I contorted myself in the mirror. I wondered slightly as to why it didn’t dry up and go away, like a normal pimple, but I was also a first-class denier. The itchy bump on my back couldn’t be anything serious. Besides, I had never heard of melanoma.
The symptoms could not have been any clearer, and I took great pains to ignore them. When I got out of the shower I was adept at having the towel gently miss the small area where the pimple was because the sight of blood on the nap unnerved me. So I never agitated the bump and I didn’t see the blood. And if I didn't see any blood, well, there was nothing wrong. See how that works?

I was in Blockbuster the other day in Portsmouth, NH and, while scanning the shelves for something – anything – to watch, I came across a stack of “Gone With The Wind” DVDs. I took one and held it against my “Less Than Zero” disc, contemplating what was enticing me to see “GWTW” yet again.
And yet, as I walked down the aisle, it dawned on me that it may be – could it be? – that I had never actually seen the movie. Is that possible? Didn’t I know all about Rhett and Scarlett and Mammy? Wasn’t the famous crane shot of the dead and dying lying on the tracks of the Atlanta train depot seared into my memory? Sure it was, but I think my viewing of the movie was really the result of viewing a few famous scenes of the movie over and over and over – until it got to the point that it just felt as though I had seen it. That, and the fact that its mythology is so steeped in American movie-going culture you feel as though you know the story by heart.
But I hadn’t it seen it, and as soon as I put in the disc, and watched the opening scenes at Tara – the O’Hara plantation that is the geographic center of the film – I realized that this experience was going to be new.

The New York Times had a story the other day about a 13-year old film actress by the name of Chloe Grace Moretz who has landed the lead role in a film called “Kick-Ass.” In the film she plays, according to the piece, “a mysterious vigilante who leaves a trail of bullet casings and body parts wherever she goes.” The character Ms. Moretz plays is called Hit Girl.
We learn more: “The Internet went wild this winter for an R-rated trailer in which Ms. Moretz enunciates an obscene word that little girls are definitely not supposed to say, right before she slices and dices her way through a room full of drug dealers.”
As one would expect, the young woman’s parents are singularly unconcerned about allowing their daughter to play such a role. And the article does, albeit tepidly, bring up the subject of the appropriateness of the enterprise.
“…Ms. Moretz and her character raise a recurring question about what limits, if any, should be placed on young actors involved in adult storytelling, and to what extent these performers understand the roles that they are playing,” writes Dave Itzkoff in the piece.
But the central question to me, which the article does not raise, is not whether a very young woman ought to be playing such an adult role but rather why anyone would go see it. What is the demographic for such a film?
To think there are people older than the age of 17 (the only people theoretically allowed in to an R-rated film) that would pay $10 to see what is clearly a repellent pubescent fantasy is really the creepiest, most disgusting, thing of all.

Both Roland Emmerich and George A. Romero want to tell us a bedtime story, and that story is that the world is ending. Only Emmerich doesn’t really believe it, and Romero seems to believe in it all too much.
As coincidence would have it, I rented “2012” and “Diary of the Dead” (from 2007) and watched them back to back. The movies had incongruous conclusions. Emmerich quite literally destroys the world -- entire coasts go toppling into the water, mountain ranges become engulfed in water, huge tracts of land open up so wide these new gaping maws make the Grand Canyon look like a flesh wound. Only at the end of “2012” the sun rises and there is good will among the survivors. The dead are dead in both flesh and memory and it is time to move on with a smile on your face.
In Romero’s modest but entertaining “Diary of the Dead” the world seems threatened by nothing more than a gaggle of impossibly slow moving imbeciles, and yet you really get the feeling -- as Romero clearly intended -- that the end has in fact arrived. | <urn:uuid:4a4e77ee-b6b9-4003-8f0c-1df518606519> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.roundtablepictures.com/2010/04/ | 2024-04-19T13:08:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.98013 | 1,219 |
Just a gratuitous butt shot of my own personal sexy man candy, Puff! ::insert grin::
The hardest thing for us to find for the nursery was a dresser. As I've mentioned before, that room has to serve several purposes, and room is tight. Plus, since The Bungalow is small, the rooms aren't exactly suburb-sized. We plan to ultimately put the dresser on the wall where the crib is (see here) so we were very limited to the width.
Bring on Ikea!
Yes, we thought a bag full of random nuts & bolts and instructions with no words were our best option. We scoured antique stores, but never came up with something that jumped out at us. We contemplated an un-matching dresser from Babies R Us, but at almost $400, I just couldn't pull the trigger.
Plus, this Hemnes dresser from Ikea matches the temporary nightstands Puff and I are using in our room. So when Bimmer grows into her big bed, she can have a matching dresser and nightstands. Plus, the $200 price tag, perfect width, and white color made it a painless purchase. Now we just need to get a little bit closer in so we can rearrange all that furniture! I'm excited for the final product... which we will be needing here soon! | <urn:uuid:4b9ba52f-48f9-4343-9c47-d3d0655affd4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.rushinglife.com/2012/04/nursery-step-4.html | 2024-04-19T12:11:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.963766 | 285 |

If you've been reading me regularly, and are aware of my squash "issues", you know I've stuffed it and grilled it; eaten it roasted and raw. There was a week in early September where I was eating zucchini every day...and tempted to put them into neighbour's mailboxes. Yes, there was a squash-palooza at my place this Summer, and I'm happy to report it's finally winding down.
My friend Chelsey texted me a couple of weeks ago, just to say hey, and to let me know she made the most amazing zucchini fritters. Hello! Chelse and I have been friends since the days of big hair and bigger glasses; since the dawn of cassette singles and stirrup pants; since the days of "Twin Peaks" and gorging on Ritz crackers with barbecue sauce. Chelse was clearly reading my mind when she sent that text. Further follow up resulted in her giving me the recipe, which she acquired from a lovely British food mag called 'Olive'.
Looking at it online, I'm thinking I may just have to get a subscription...
So about the fritters. They were freaking amazing. The batter is quite simple - coarsely grated zucchini, with some eggs, flour, diced onion and hot pepper. I added a little lemon zest just to brighten the flavour, and a good shake of coarse salt. Next time - and yes, there will be a next time - I would add some fresh herbs to the mix - like cilantro, parsley or basil. The fritters were like how fritters should be: crispy good on the outside and tender on the inside. The fresh salsa (Yay! I get to use up some tomatoes sitting on my counter too!) was the perfect accompaniment - and really, there's never a bad time for feta cheese, is there? I only had yellow zucchini, so I had to purchase some green from the market, just to add more pop of colour in my photos. You can imagine how ridiculous I felt buying zucchini! Oh well. Just two more to go, and I think I'll just grate them up too, for something deep, dark and decadent. Stay tuned for that.
Zucchini Fritters with Fresh Tomato and Feta Salsa
1 hot pepper, finely diced (use any variety you like, just remember to seed it if you don't want it too spicy, and wear rubber gloves while handling!)
1/2 red onion, finely diced
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp coarse salt (more for sprinkling after)
1 tsp baking powder
3 medium zucchini, coarsely grated, juice squeezed out (about 2 cups, packed)
canola oil for frying
In a large bowl, combine the pepper, onion, lemon zest, spices, eggs. Stir well. Add the flour, stirring to moisten, then add the grated zucchini, stirring until all combined. Heat oil, about 1/2 inch deep in a large skillet, dropping the batter by heaping spoonfuls. Spread out a little to make round. Fry on each side, about 3 minutes over medium high heat, until golden. Sprinkle with salt, heap with your fresh salsa. Makes about 8 fritters.
Combine in a bowl:
Fresh tomatoes, diced
red onion, diced
fresh herbs like mint, cilantro or basil
squeeze of honey
squeeze of a lime
drizzle of olive oil
salt, pepper, dash of hot sauce
diced feta cheese

This Queen Anne revival mansion, constructed in 1903 by Lowe Bros. of Charlottetown for Mr. Parker Carvell. Together with his father, Lieutenant Governor Jedediah, Carvell operated a flourishing produce business and this building stood as a private residence until 1956. It was finally converted to an Inn in 1972. While extensive restorations have been carried out, the original character and charm of the property has been maintained.
I had an annex room next door.
My room was at the end |
Here was my room ... not quite as spiffy as those pictured on their website but it was okay.
The bed was comfy |
The tub was deep and I used it every night |
Included with the room was parking and WIFI. The room had a mini fridge, hairdryer, bathrobes, coffee machine and microwave oven.
The inn is one street over from Queen Street (a main street) and within walking distance to lots of restaurants and pubs, shopping, the waterfront, etc.
My one issue is that my room was right next to the cleaning staff's room ... so it was noisy with them going back and forth, opening and closing the door, chatting, dragging garbage, etc. | <urn:uuid:5c8d88e8-5b3d-49a7-960d-69f055489b7c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.teenaintoronto.com/2016/06/dundee-arms-inn-charlottetown-pei.html | 2024-04-19T11:18:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.986806 | 255 |
All praise to HAL Laboratory for bestowing upon us the ultimate time killer. That’s right – Picross 3D has taken hold of the Rumble Pack and isn’t letting go. However, its blocky charms did not consume the guys completely.

It’s all “some beans” to me
In his new book, Alex’s Adventures in Numberland, Alex Bellos sheds fascinating light on the gap between our natural mathematical skills and what’s demanded of us in the modern world; a matter very dear to my heart and which should be occupying governments and financial regulators too.
Field research in the Amazon rainforest, performed by French linguist and anthropologist Pierre Pica, has found that our ‘natural’, instinctive grasp of quantity (ie, size, volume, distance) can differ greatly from what modern formal arithmetic requires of us.
By studying the remote Munduruku, Pica has sought to isolate whatever instinctive grasp of number humans might have before we begin to learn and assimilate the huge edifice of modern arithmetic and mathematics.
And what did he find?; that when we think quantitatively we naturally think in ratios. When asked to place the numbers one to ten along a line, most of us space them at even intervals. Not the Munduruku. They think that the intervals start large and become progressively smaller as the numbers increase. In other words, and to use the language of modern maths, they naturally visualise quantities along a logarithmic scale rather than the linear one most of us are used to. This also happens to be what kids do before we get them trained (according to Robert Siegler and Julie Booth at Carnegie Mellon University).
How come? The Munduruku (and kids) seem to be making decisions about where the numbers should lie by estimating ratios between the amounts. This makes it perfectly logical (whatever that means) for the distance from one to five (which is a five-fold increase) to be much longer than the distance from five to ten (which is only a doubling). Pica thinks this way of understanding quantities, using ‘guesstimated’ ratios, is a universal human intuition evolved as part of our basic cognitive toolkit. After all, in the time before accountants what mattered was not precisely how big, fast, long, numerous or high something was, but approximately which was the biggest, fastest, highest, longest or most numerous. In a sense, then, our ancestors lived (and the Munduruku still do live) in a binary world of more/less, bigger/smaller, longer/shorter, higher/lower, and since those societies lasted eons, but modern numbers are no more than 10,000 years old, we all carry that logarithmic instinct with us to this day.
Not convinced? Bellos provides us with a neat example involving perspective …
… if we see a tree 100 metres away and another 100 metres behind it, the second 100 metres looks shorter. To a Munduruku, the idea that every 100 metres represents an equal distance is a distortion of how he perceives the environment.
… and another one which better illustrates the potential consequences for how we apprehend quantities and make decisions in a world dominated by big, big numbers …
… we can all understand the difference between one and 10. It is unlikely we would confuse one pint of beer and 10 pints of beer. Yet what about the difference between a billion gallons of water and 10 billion gallons of water? Even though the difference is enormous, we tend to see both quantities as quite similar – very large amounts of water. Likewise, the terms millionaire and billionaire are thrown around almost as synonyms – as if there is not so much difference between being very rich and very, very rich.
Still not convinced? Remember when Blackadder tried to teach Baldrick to count using dried beans?
I rest my case.

NEW interview with Donna Moderna (Italy)|Rob Pattinson: "THERE'S NO LOVE WITHOUT SEX FOR ME"
-Where's your house?
"I don't have one. Or rather, I have my parents' house in London, but my room has become a sort of warehouse where I leave the stuff I can't take with me. I can't take too many things, 2-3 bags at most. That's why I always wear the same clothes."
- We will see you in Breaking Dawn part 1 and 2 soon.
"They are the harder movies of the series, and I wonder how they're going to distribute them with a PG 13 rating. There are a lot of sex scenes and so many other things that are not suitable for children" (his look gets mischievous and cheerful)
- How similar are you to Edward?
"We both think sex without love doesn't make sense"
-What if they asked you to keep playing this role?
"That's a closed chapter. I've just finished filming Bel Ami where I play a cynical, seducer, social-climber. Then I will be the main character in David Cronemberg's Cosmopolis. I'll play the role of an American millionaire who, within 24 hours in Manhattan, lives his descent into hell. I still can't believe I'll be working with a director like Cronemberg. And I even wanted to quit acting after Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire! Nobody wanted me, while my band was starting to sign its first contracts and earn some money. Then I got offered the role of Salvador Dalì in Little Ashes. After that movie I realized I really liked acting and put music aside."
- So you won't play a romantic role ever again?
"Never say never. But I need to change a bit, or either the audience and I would get bored eventually." Panic: we're already orphan because of Leonardo Di Caprio, will we be orphan because him as well? It would be a bad piece of news since I'm interviewing the romantic hero Pattinson on the romantic wedding day between William and Kate. I don't even have the time to finish the sentence that he asks "How did the Royal Wedding go? Have they already kissed?" Yes, the kind of kiss you and Kristen shared in public...And there's back his polite and irresistible smile, as he explains "I've been avoiding this topic for years, but I can say I love big love stories"

As I don't have a blog, a wee analysis on twitlonger on @ProfGlantz comment (http://www.plosone.org/annotation/listThread.action?root=67705) on the Polosa #ecig trial in #PLOS.
1) Not having a zero-intervention control group and that it would in general 'bias the study in favor of the treatment.'
There is some truth in this (but only in the sense that it would have been useful to actually have a group that received zero intervention), however it would only bias the study in favour of e-cigs with nicotine should the no-nicotine e-cigs actually make quit outcomes *worse* than no intervention (i.e. the people in the study receiving these devices - who didn't want to quit, remember - would have been more successful at quitting without them).
Given that some 4% of the 'no nicotine' group were abstinent at the end of the study, and we'd expect quit rates in the whole 'untreated' pop to be around 3-5% (from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14678060), this seems like a bit of a long shot. It would have been useful to know, yes, but hey, no single study can tell you everything, 'more research & comparative trials needed' etc.
2)Fiddly statistics stuff
The Yates correction Prof Glantz talks about is definitely not 'required' in this situation, and there is not a consensus among statisticians that it is an appropriate thing to do in many/most cases, as it is known to return results that are too conservative (that is, p-values that are too high, risking not detecting an effect that truly exists).
This is really quite well-established and has been for some time e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2362976 so it is surprising Prof Glantz is apparently bullish about mandating its use.
Running a Fisher's exact test on the same 2x2 table of data (an alternate approach which gives exact probability, instead of the approximation that is offered by chi-sq with or without Yates correction) gives a p value of 0.04971 - hurrah, still 'significant'!
But in any case this is all a little silly, as p<0.05 isn't a magic threshold above which we don't care about the results (it's just just an arbitrary convention) and making slight analytical adjustments to bump the value just over 0.05 into 'non-significance' or just downwards into 'significance' doesn't really alter how we should view the main conclusions of the study in that manner. Smaller p values provide stronger evidence against the null hypothesis of 'no difference between groups'. Large p-values show a lack of evidence of a difference between groups, given the data observed.
A fair reading would be that this study provides some evidence of an effect, and shouldn't be discounted just because we can adopt different analytical perspectives (some of which are inappropriate) and modify the resultant p-value from these tests in relatively small ways. The study has has lots of limitations, but that doesn't mean it provides no useful information and should be dismissed (which I think is the danger in following Prof Glantz's line of argument).
(PS. there are other issues such as the use of multiple testing... which I'll ignore just now for brevity and under the excuse the study explicitly says it is an exploratory proof-of-concept, so a lot of these approaches can be argued to be permissible in this context.) | <urn:uuid:8476cc0a-4a17-4c91-bdb3-3ce4b5e6c733> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rl2kbd | 2024-04-19T12:06:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.953454 | 772 |

How Do You Make A Website?
No, that's not the real question. The real question is "How in the Heck Do You Make a Website???"
You do not have to buy software. You do not have to invest $300 in a special online program, either. You can do this for free.
My websites were created for free and I did them myself. I knew almost nothing about making a website. I did not use any store-bought programs whatsoever. (Actually, I did buy "Front Page." I never got around to figuring it out. My daughter zipped out a website on "Front Page" in minutes. But kids these days can do that sort of thing. Not me!)
A friend of mine mentioned that his websites are free. That is how I found out about this avenue for getting on the web. And now I'm going to tell you the BIG SECRET - and this company is not going to give me any commission for doing so, but that's all right. I'll tell you what I wish someone had told me before I spent two hundred bucks on "Front Page" - which, by the way, I do hope to learn one day, but right now I have a business to run, like you!!
The big secret is tripod.com. Now there may be plenty of other similar places out there, but if you're like me, you've never heard of any of them. In the very short time I have been working on my websites with Tripod, I have grown to LOVE this way of making a website. It is so fast and easy, and it's such a pleasure to make a quick change when I see the need. I click a few things, and it's automatically and instantly changed on the Worldwide Web!
That's a big difference from two years ago when I did manage to make a very basic web page with the beginner's program that came with my computer. The process of "uploading" the page to the internet was a lot more involved. I had to be very sure I did exactly the right thing - on the right file - in the right index. Not so with Tripod ? it's all automatically done for you with the click of your mouse.
When I came back into the internet business world just recently, I knew I needed more of a website than just the "one-page wonder" I'd come up with last time. And I had no idea how I was going to do that. But Tripod has come to my rescue. Now I seem to be hooked!
At first, it was slow going to get the hang of making a Tripod website. I wasn't so sure I liked the selection of designs that they had to choose from, either. But I found that I could customize many designs so that they would look entirely original. And after I made the first website, which took me quite a few hours, it was very easy to make the second one. And as I continued to work with Tripod, it soon became a snap to do anything I wanted to do.
For example, once a page (or a website) is the way you want, you can simply copy it, and this makes working on another one almost effortless.
I also found out that I can make as many websites as I want on just one Tripod account. I am doing exactly that as I gain ideas for new websites.
Before I found Tripod, I had purchased several domain names. I can use these domain names with my Tripod websites, so that you cannot tell that my website is a Tripod site (well, now, for you at least, my secret's out...).
I have only one complaint about Tripod: when I emailed the technical support, I always seemed to receive form letters or partial form letters, some of which did not seem to address my questions. At one point, that got me very frustrated. I responded with an email with lots of emphatic, ALL-CAPS pleas for the answers to my questions!
I got back yet another form answer...kept searching...and so far I have figured out all the answers to my questions on my own.
So all in all, I'm happy with my websites...not too bad for someone who knows nothing about HTML (technical website language). What I love most of all is the amount of control I have over the finished product.
If you're looking for answers on how in the heck to make a website, give Tripod a try, as I did. Once you give it a little time, it's actually fun to work with. Try working with it for free until you get your website the way you want it. Then you can consider paying the small fee ? $4.95 per month - to have your website run without any ads. I think it's an incredible bargain, and I'm absolutely thrilled to have found this solution to making a website.
Let me know if this advice has proven helpful for you! And check out my websites to see examples of what your tripod.com website can look like. Mine are fairly plain, but there are loads of options available. Enjoy the process of making your own website!

Designing Professional Web Pages
If your Web site doesn't project a professional and polished image to your visitors, your credibility and that of your products and services will suffer. Image is everything -- especially online where your competitor is only one mouse click away!
Welcoming Your Website Visitors
Imagine you're going on a blind date. You've heard wonderful things about this person, and in your heart of hearts you're thinking -- hoping -- this might just be "the one." Your heart beats a little faster as you pull into the driveway, and your stomach is all aflutter as you gingerly reach out and ring the door bell.
Affordable Web Design In Birmingham
If you have a business, big or small you may be thinking of getting yourself a website.
Good Content Pays!
Traffic to a site can be a blessing or a curse. Visitors who find what they are looking for, are engaged in what the site offers, and/or come away with a positive impression become the site owner's best allies and customers. But lead a visitor to believe that they will find what they are looking for and then not provide on your promise and you will find yourself being stabbed in the back repeatedly by people you will never know. As discussed in another article, "What Are the Benefits of Good Design on the Web?" the task of the site owner is not simply to ask all the right questions and make sure the designer interprets the answers correctly. Just as challenging is the need for the correct content-content that is largely dictated by the answers to the same questions so important to good design: Who are the visitors? What are they looking for? What is their situation, are they rushed? Are they knowledgeable? Are they looking for opinions or facts? Are they the kind of prospect the site owner is looking for?
Sell Yourself First...Your Key To More Sales
Selling on the internet is a challenge. There is no way to come "face to face" with your potential buyer. That visitor is unlikely to buy from you on the first visit. It's likely to take several visits and contacts before they throw down that cash or credit card.
Website Background Colors and Graphics: What You Need to Know Before Designing Your Website
Designing your website means you have to be creative, plan out exactly what you want visitors to see, and then turn these ideas into a design or relay them to a design firm so they can do the job for you. However, the problem with this is you might be coming up with a lot of ideas that are not going to work for you when it comes to the design on your web page. Do some research first about what a good design includes and what a bad design includes. Then, you might be better able to design a great website. Consider the following suggestions before you start coming up with design ideas so you will be sure to leave this out.
Attention Grabbing Web Design Will Kill Your Sale!
In the of-line marketing world it is all about trying to get the attention of the potential consumer to a commercial message.
Create A Web Site That Builds Trust
If someone doesn't know you personally, will they trust you enough to do business with you just by visiting your web site?
Hiring a Graphic Designer
You've come up with a great product. You've got the sales letter written for your website. Now you need the graphic design to complement your product and the text that describes it. Not being artistically inclined or adept at the technicalities of computer graphics, you decide you need some help.
Has Your Design Firm Run Amuck With Your Web Site?
What's happening to good web site design? Somehow we creative types at interactive and traditional ad agencies have run amuck - we're building web sites that may dazzle the senses, but don't really communicate much about our client's business or products and services!
The Secrets to Successfully Learning Basic HTML
If you'd like to create/maintain a website, having some HTML knowledge is necessary in order to create a standard page on the web. Learning the HTML basics is easy and should take less than an hour.
How to Convince Your Visitors to Return Often
One visit does not make a sale. Be sure to make your Web site attractive to your visitors so that they want to come back. You don't win their trust right away. It may take 4-7 visits before they buy.
How to Create A Homepage That Works
Want to know what the worst thing to say on a homepage is?
Choosing the Right Web Designer
Creating your web site can be a tricky process. Choosing the best web design company for your site is extremely important. Unless you run a web-based business, you probably do not have web design experience within your company. Building your web site will take time and a little homework!
Quality Web Copy is the Key to Success
Many websites make the mistake of being all flash and no substance. Nothing irritates potential customers more than visiting your website hoping to find information and instead seeing only blinding color and flashing borders. Of course, you want your website to be attractive, even snazzy, but if there is no useful information included in well-written copy, customers are going to go elsewhere.
Make Artistic Graphic Designs
Are you a student of graphic design? If you have taken time in extra reviews and put "graphic design" and "drawing" into any search engines, you'll get almost the same result = descriptions of graphic design programs at many design schools. Baffled? Well, it's like this: As a student interested in graphic design, you have to take drawing and not actually a degree in fine art.
3 Simple Ways To Dramatically Improve Your Website
Before you start worrying about marketing your website on the internet it always pays dividends to look at the website itself and get the fundamentals right before looking to shout about it from the virtual mountain-tops.
Creating a Basic Web Design Template
A "template" is simply a design format which you can apply to all (or most) of the pages in your web site. The first advantage of using a "template" system is that it allows you to make your most important design decisions at the beginning, and then just focus on content. The second advantage is that it allows you to quickly create new pages based on your standard design.
10 Important Web Design Tips: SEO Friendly Website
A website should firstly be searched out by visitors before talking about attracting or retaining those visitors. Nowadays, a "well designed website" does not only relate to a web site's visual attractiveness but more importantly, how friendly it is with search engines.

As you are keeping your eyes open for an internet casino, keep in mind that often the better casinos offer an assortment of games to appeal to a big fan base. If you are brand-new to betting–and you have not yet found a "favored" game–it is a good idea to pick an online casino that provides a large selection. This provides you an opportunity to try a number of different games so you can figure out which games suit you the best. So make sure the internet casino you select has:
Vingt-et-un: This basic card game is a favorite with gamers. It is comprised of the croupier and the gambler. Essentially, each try to get the nearest as they can to a sum total of 21 in their hands while not exceeding 21.
CRAPS: Probably the most well-known game that uses dice. Craps may be complex. If you aspire to one day participate in it in a real life casino, playing it online to start will be an excellent teaching experience.
KENO: Basically nothing more than a numbers game. You choose the numbers and wish they appear on the board.
Slot Machines: There are many types of online slot machine games, however they are exactly like the games you find in casinos. Deposit your "cash," push the button, and hope for the best.
POKER: All styles of poker games are available, however Holdem has grown more and more popular over the years. You ordinarily have a option of playing with other "actual" players or playing with a computer. A few masters say that your chances are more favorable if you bet with human players.
ROULETTE: An additional game that is much more abstract than it looks, since there are many betting choices. However, you can basically bet on a single number or one color, which makes the game a little bit simpler.
BINGO: Played like the same game you certainly enjoyed as a kid that’s generally seen in church halls and Elks Clubs all over the Union. | <urn:uuid:de2f2c42-a185-43c4-9534-af7e99939c74> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://wwweasyridercasino.com/2016/10/21/games-that-all-amazing-online-casino-needs-to-offer/ | 2024-04-19T12:48:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.965207 | 419 |
