PKSD Newsletter: Playground Safety
Posted by PKSD Law Firm on Jun 16, 2017 in Firm News
With the start of summer comes more time outdoors and on local playgrounds. While playgrounds are the perfect location for fun, exercise and social interaction, they are also a hotbed for serious accidents and injuries.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 200,000 children under the age of 14 are injured on the playground every year.
Fortunately, there are several things parents can do to help prevent injuries on the playground.
In this issue of the PKSD newsletter, our Milwaukee personal injury lawyers discuss the dangers of playgrounds and the steps parents should take to help ensure the safety of their kids. Learn more by subscribing to our monthly newsletter.
Common Playground Injuries
According to the CDC, there are several injuries that are common on playgrounds:
- Severe fractures
- Internal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
More than 60 percent of injuries on playgrounds involve falls or equipment failure, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
More than 10 percent of playground injuries are TBIs, which is damage to the brain from trauma to the head. Furthermore, the CDC reports that the rate of emergency visits for TBIs from playgrounds have increased in recent years.
About two-thirds of all TBI instances occurred at school or places of recreation and involved swings, climbing equipment and monkey bars.
A significant number of playground deaths are a result of strangulation and falls to the playground surface.
Because playground injuries can be especially dangerous, parents should always be on the lookout for potential hazards that increase the risk for injury.
According to the CPSC, parents should look out for:
- Improper fall protective surfaces, which should be made of a soft material like mulch, sand or rubber that is at least 12 inches deep and extends at least six feet in all directions
- Protrusion hazards, such as hooks, bolts or other hardware that could cut a child or catch their clothing
- Overcrowded playgrounds that do not have enough space for kids to safely move between equipment
- Trip hazards like rocks or stumps
- Sharp edges on equipment
- Equipment that is not appropriate for the age of your child
- Platforms with no guardrails
- Guardrails that are not sturdy
Playground Safety Tips
In addition to looking out for these hazards, there are several additional steps parents can take to help protect their kids. Safe Kids Worldwide recommends following these tips:
- Inspect playground equipment and report poor maintenance to the school or park leadership
- Actively supervise your kids while they play
- Teach your kids that pushing, shoving and crowding is dangerous on the playground
- Dress your kids appropriately for the playground – no jewelry, scarves or clothing with drawstrings that can get caught and be a strangulation hazard
- Ensure a separate play area for kids of different ages as they play differently
Who is Liable for a Playground Injury?
Unfortunately, despite your efforts, playground injuries will occur. And, depending on the circumstances of your child’s injury, there are several parties that could potentially be held liable.
In some situations, the owner of the playground, whether a school, church, private business, restaurant or a local government entity can be held responsible for injuries that occur on its property.
This is because property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of those visiting their property, according to premises liability law.
If the owner fails to properly maintain the property or fails to ensure the safety of visitors, he or she can be held liable for any resulting injuries.
This includes situations involving:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Poor maintenance of the property
- Negligent supervision
If the playground owner has hired a third party to design, construct, assemble, maintain or monitor a playground, it could be possible to hold that party liable for any resulting injuries.
If a piece of playground equipment is defective and causes an injury, the designer, manufacturer or seller of that equipment or any of its parts could be held liable under product liability law.
Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to ensure their products are safe and do not cause harm to consumers. As a result, they can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by their products.
Playground Injury? Contact Our Personal Injury Lawyers
Determining who should be responsible for your child’s injury can be difficult, and obtaining the compensation you deserve from that entity can be complicated.
Our Milwaukee personal injury lawyers will thoroughly investigate your child’s injury to determine who should be held liable. We will then work to build a strong claim that holds him or her liable for the injuries your child suffered.

We do not charge any fess unless we recover compensation for you. | <urn:uuid:25378278-6551-4c34-b016-c47542153c97> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.pksd.com/blog/playground-safety.html | 2020-09-25T07:07:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400222515.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925053037-20200925083037-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.948472 | 1,019 |
Constitution victory or defeat will not solve Union’s deep ills
We shall soon know the result, but those of us fervently hoping for a majority in favour of the treaty in the French referendum should not delude ourselves about the nature of the victory, if there is one. The Union will not have moved closer to some bright sunlit upland. Rather, it will have been through a seismic experience that, whatever the outcome, raises uncomfortable questions about its political culture and the durability of its institutional arrangements.
The recent lacklustre celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day confirmed that the shared experience of war and a common determination to reject it as a means of settling European disputes have faded as a driver for European integration. Peace, or the absence of civil war between nations, is now taken for granted by people and politicians as a permanent feature of European life.
But rejection of war has not been replaced by any other comparable wellspring of political energy and commitment among Europe’s populations. While the Union’s competences have spread mightily in the last 20 years, they have not been politically legitimised by any emergence of a European political culture.
The result is steadily declining political momentum and a growing popular alienation from the Union’s goals and the means by which they are achieved. Old prejudices and resentments refuse to lie down and die: in the past 14 days the British have been justifiably rebuked by the German ambassador to London for their obsession with Nazi-German stereotypes, while the Italians have given offence by evoking identically unpleasant ghosts in an advertising attempt to sell more Fiats in their home market. Open borders permitting huge seasonal shifts of population have not led to a greater sense of “oneness” among European citizens, and the euro has made precious little contribution in this direction either.
Alienation is not limited to France, as the Netherlands referendum may shortly drive home. Politicians in many countries feed it by blaming the Union for present ills. The French campaign was about almost everything except the treaty, but a European thread, rejectionist in tone, ran through most key issues – the effects of enlargement and the ‘threat’ of Turkey, trade competition, agricultural reform, privatisation and overvaluation of the euro. The euro is perhaps still generations away from symbolising European “oneness”. In the meantime it is very vulnerable to condemnation by its critics as a radical change forced on citizens from above, like so many others, that has yielded higher prices and more economic pain than gain.
For obvious reasons, it is tempting to regard the use of the referendum as a primary flaw in the Union’s current set-up. But as the French and Dutch campaigns are demonstrating, it is the only occasion allowed voters to discuss their country’s problems in a European context, albeit distorted. Extraneous domestic issues inevitably get dragged into the argument, but such is the depth of the Union’s reach into peoples’ lives that its impact cannot be avoided. The referendum may be a deeply unsatisfactory mechanism, but it remains the only one for obtaining direct endorsement, or rejection, of output from the Union’s system of top-down decision-making.
Some commentators are anxious to explain the French campaign in terms of l’exception française and to suggest that no other country in Europe could be so pro-European and rejectionist at the same time. This may not be the case: similar attitudes are prevalent in Northern Europe, Poland and the Czech Republic and they are even becoming more common in Italy. The failure of the Union’s current political class to confront such attitudes is now an important systemic flaw. Their presentation of the benefits of the Union lacks conviction and their defence of its actions is anchored solely in terms of the national interest. Few of them can elide those interests into a vision of a confederation that delivers broader continent-wide advantages to its members.
Potentially the most serious systemic weakness also stems from a failure of perception and understanding. The struggle of the big economies in the eurozone to achieve reasonable levels of economic growth owes something to policy errors explained by ignorance. National politicians understand little of the functioning of their domestic economies and even less of the European economy. The absence of consensus about how national economies work in the euro framework may also help to explain the failure of the Lisbon Strategy. It raises worrying questions about future prospects for the European economy.
Few of Europe’s national leaders can explain or justify the way in which life- changing decisions are taken in the Union. This plays into the hands of the constitution’s enemies and allows them to encourage voters to regard the Union and its institutions as remote and threatening. An extraordinary confirmation is the way in which the phrase “unelected, faceless bureaucrats” has crossed the English Channel and become part of the opprobrium now heaped on the Commission in so many member states.
Since complaints that the Commission is the source of many present grievances are beginning to find significant support in countries such as France and Italy and, quite soon I predict, in Germany too, there is a clear and present danger that the present institutional set-up will not survive.
The Community method will be bankrupt if governments do not accept responsibility in front of their publics for the acts of the Union. If people identify only “faceless bureaucrats” at the controls, despite the existence of the European Parliament, the Council of Ministers and the European Council, then they will reject the Union at every opportunity. These issues, all about accountability, will not be resolved by the constitutional treaty. And ratification will not make them go away.

Yves Saint Laurent have launched a penis-themed jewellery collection and wow ok
12 November 2018, 13:26 | Updated: 15 November 2018, 15:16
Because who doesn't want a penis hanging from their lobes.
Yves Saint Laurent have launched a new line of jewellery and it'll take you about a millisecond to figure out what the designer was inspired by. The collection features penis-shaped earrings and necklaces made from patinated golden brass. Who knew penises were so popular?
The intricately designed jewellery even have "Saint Laurent Paris" engraved on the back just so everyone knows it's not any old penis, it's designer dick. So if you're stumped on what to buy the penis-obsessed person in your life, this could be the answer to your phallic prayers.
As you can imagine, once the French fashion house launched their new pieces and it hit the internet, the replies were W-I-L-D.
IDK what's worse, the person wearing brass penis earrings or the fact that they are charging you 345 dollars for the luxury of wearing penis earrings....— Justin Williams (@jjwilliams65) November 9, 2018
So ... Yves Saint Laurent has designed penis shaped necklaces and earrings. For 700 dollars upwards. Not to be a dick about it, but that's a prime example that money can't buy class or taste.— Lorelai (@LorelaiJones) November 11, 2018
Just when we thought we couldn't get any lower. This company comes out with this trash what is this a to my daughter and young girls. This world is definitely going to the devil— Sandra cuthbert (@Sandracuthbert5) November 9, 2018
where do i get the ysl penis earrings and necklace i WANT RHEM— シャ (@s_hrines) November 7, 2018
It’s 2018, so why not go out wearing a beautiful set of penis earrings complete with a matching necklace?— Baldino (@96merseyside) November 11, 2018
The complete set costs £735 - which is a lot to pay to have mini penises dangling from your ears and neck! pic.twitter.com/6W91veOH74
You'll need a lot of cash if you're thinking of popping these on your Christmas list, though. Surprisingly, penis earrings don't come cheap. If you fancy a pair it'll set you back £215. You can also get a large penis pendant necklace for a steal at £520.
Sadly, the unique design isn't available online. You'll have to go into the store to buy them and share an incredibly awkward moment with the cashier. The only question is, where's the equality? Where are the vagina necklaces at!? | <urn:uuid:188df951-b18e-4516-b836-8972575aec87> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.popbuzz.com/style/news/yves-saint-laurent-penis-jewellery/ | 2020-09-25T06:34:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400222515.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925053037-20200925083037-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.951834 | 587 |

The 54 Ignite has a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
Electric scooters have become widely accepted as a means for personal mobility. Over the past few years, electric scooters have evolved and developed from seemingly dinky toys with lackluster performance and reliability, to high tech vehicles equipped with a plethora of bells and whistles ranging from Bluetooth pairing to IOT capabilities. Overall performance of electric scooters has greatly improved as well, with new models continuously getting longer range and achieving higher top speeds.
A new player in the electric scooter game has the potential to raise the bar, especially in Europe. Kumpan, an electric scooter manufacturer based out of Germany, previously rolled out the 54 Inspire, an entry level, learner-approved electric scooter capable of a top speed of 28 miles per hour. To add to this scooter's entry level appeal, a motorcycle license isn't required to operate this vehicle, since it qualifies as an L1e electric scooter.
Seeking to elevate their product offerings, Kumpan has released two additional models to occupy the upper echelons of the 54i range of scooters. The new scooters are capable of higher top speeds, and will subsequently require their drivers to have motorcycle licenses. The Kumpan 54 Impulse, the next step up from the aforementioned 54 Inspire, is equipped with a 4 kW motor which churns out 5 horsepower. This gives the 54 Inspire a top speed of 44 miles per hour—adequate for city trips and rides around town.
The range topping 54 Ignite however, packs quite a punch for a scooter of this segment. Not only does it achieve a higher top speed of 62 miles per hour with its 7 kW motor pumping out 9.4 horsepower, it also comes stadard with a combined braking system (CBS) for added safety. To top it all off, the 54 Ignite comes with grippy sport tires, to make for a confidence-inspiring ride.
As of this moment, the 54 Ignite is already available and is priced at €6,822 (approximately US$8,120). The 54 Impulse on the other hand, is expected to begin production in quarter four of this year, and will be priced at €5,847 (approximately US$6,960) | <urn:uuid:5d6d44be-dc2e-4698-9f94-a8fef2fa76c3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.rideapart.com/articles/442670/kumpan-54i-electric-scooter-germany/ | 2020-09-25T07:11:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400222515.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925053037-20200925083037-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.950157 | 474 |
Recently, Dubai surpasses another milestone with an announcement to launch a free zone specifically for the rapidly increasing e-commerce sector in the country. The aim of this project is to invite more foreign direct investment in UAE in order to boost non-oil sector of the economy. According to details, the “Dubai CommerCity” is a joint venture between DAFZA (Dubai Airport Freezone) and a UAE-based private company Wasl Asset Management Group, and the free zone is located near Dubai airport in the Umm Ramool area. The announcement of this specific free zone was made on Saturday 28th October 2017.
This specific free zone is especially important as it is the first project of its type in the whole MENA (Middle East & North Africa) region. The significance of e-commerce sector in the UAE is evident from the figures of Euromonitor International, according to which the e-commerce market of UAE is expected to grow by 38% annually. The projected growth of e-commerce sector in UAE will reach around AED 73 billion by 2020.
The estimated cost of the whole project is AED 2.7 billion and the free zone will cover an area of 2.1 million square feet. This specific free zone is intended to accomplish the current and future requirements of electronic payments, IT solutions and logistics for the areas of Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. The whole process will be completed in two equal phases but currently no timeline for its completion has been provided. Modern and fully-equipped warehouses in this free zone will allow regional and international manufacturers to store their products safely that can later be shipped to the local market via e-commerce technology.
We at Riz & Mona Consultancy can also confirm that most of the inquiry related to company formation during last few months was related to e-commerce sector, and investors were willing to take maximum advantage of the emerging e-commerce market in UAE and the whole region. | <urn:uuid:a2a91018-db29-4e90-b085-da29359f1625> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.rizmona.com/blog/dubai-first-e-commerce-free-zone/ | 2020-09-25T06:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400222515.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925053037-20200925083037-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.962486 | 398 |
Linesight has been delivering professional services and strategic support to the global construction industry since 1974. During that time they have grown to a sizeable, international brand.
We were tasked with creating a new home for Linesight that reinforced their position as a global player, highlighted their industry-leading knowledge and provided a platform that could continue to grow with the business.
The project began with a hands-on design workshop. Over 2 days we collaborated with stakeholders from across the business, guiding discussions with a user-centred approach and in turn uncovering the true challenges the website needed to solve.
We believe the best design happens when you test early and learn fast. We worked with Linesight throughout the design processes, putting prototypes in their hands at regular intervals ensuring they could gather feedback across their teams.
A modular design system
We created a design system that is a true evolution of the Linesight brand. Linesight benefits from a first-rate brand identity - however, the brand had not been fully explored for digital applications. We evolved the identity, creating a digital design system that can be used by the client for any digital application they may need in the future.
The main business aims for Linesight were to feature completed projects, drive more traffic to their Knowledge Center and to communicate the global nature of the projects they work on. We used high fidelity interactivity to embellish and accentuate Linesight’s projects and Knowledge Center while integrating customized regionalisation throughout the website.
By entirely reconfiguring the website and designing modular pages, Roll Studio gave the client the liberty to build and adapt each section of the website yet keeping the design and UX consistent. Roll Studio selected Contentful, an easy-to-use headless CMS where users can create, manage and distribute content as needed.

Darvan 811 is a deflocculant that is similar to Darvan 7, but is more powerful. It takes only a small percentage to deflocculate slip. As a deflocculant, Darvan 811 weakens the electrical attraction between clay particles and thus acts as a thinning agent in slips and as a general dispersing agent for clay bodies and glazes. It is mainly used to enhance the fluidity of casting slips and maintain or slow the shrinkage rate. Darvan 811 is used successfully in vitreous and semi-vitreous clay bodies, and in glazes. It can be used for stoneware, high fire slips and high iron clay bodies while Darvan 7 is typically preferred with porcelains. | <urn:uuid:623a9ad0-0b31-4579-bdbb-43725dc21b0b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/3034/darvan-811-gallon/ | 2020-09-25T08:04:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400222515.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925053037-20200925083037-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.935312 | 155 |

This week, Google unveiled its Stadia streaming service, and Sony snuck out some PS5 specs ahead of E3 2019, but it’s Apple’s WWDC which has stood astride this week, like a mighty Colossus of News.
There was a lot to take in during WWDC 2019, and we’ve boiled all the essentials down already, but for this week’s Winners and Losers, it’s worth taking a closer look at some of the higher (and lower) points of Apple.
Winner: Apple, for its scintillating Pro Display XDR monitor and aggressive Sign In with Apple broadside
While the most anticipated product, and biggest talking point of WWDC, was undoubtedly the new Mac Pro. It’s actually the Pro Display XDR monitor that quite literally outshone everything else.
Apple’s Pro Display XDR ought to delight videographers and graphic designers – full coverage of the DCI-P3 space is promised, along with peak brightness of 1600 nits, and a promised contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.
Perhaps most impressive is Apple’s claim that it will be able to consistently give you brightness levels of 1000 nits while maintaining a high degree of colour accuracy and not running at a ridiculously high temperature.
Apple says it’s able to do this thanks to a clever mix of hardware and software – an algorithm will modulate every LED on the backlight array, allowing for a higher degree of colour control.
While Apple hasn’t specified just how colour accurate the Pro Display XDR is, it’s promising that whether you opt for a matt or gloss finish, there will be no difference in terms of colour fidelity. It’s going to cost a ton, sure, but some pretty big boxes have been ticked here.
Again, on the iOS 13 side of things, there were plenty of impressive-attention grabbing features, like a battery and retina-friendly dark mode, face tracking Memojis, official support for Xbox One and PS4 controllers, and some new, and very polished-looking Apple Maps (albeit only for the U.S. at launch).
Less immediately impressive is Sign In with Apple, a new single sign on (SSO) feature which promises to not only absolve you from having to sign in to services with your Google or Facebook accounts, but will, if you wish, obscure your email address, so you’re better protected from advertisers.
In terms of aggressive moves against the competition, this is pretty damn hostile, up there with saying rude things about Zuckerberg and Pichai’s mums.
But, it’s a move which could backfire. While Google and Facebook want access to as much personal data as they can get – the better to target you with ads – so do thousands of other developers and studios, who are all much, much smaller than Google and Facebook, and therefore more dependant on ad revenue.
Furthermore, a note in Apple’s developer site says that anyone wanting to add an SSO feature to their iOS apps will have to include Sign In with Apple, alongside Google and Facebook SSO options. It’s a mandatory thing, which on the one hand is great for consumer privacy, but perhaps not so rosy for developers. Hey, guys, do we have enough budget for this new SSO thing? Damn, better rethink our roadmap for Q3.
Time will tell if Sign In with Apple ends up being a misfire for Apple, but for now, privacy-conscious consumers will appreciate the extra degree of control they’ll be able to flex. Expect this to be the biggest talking point of iOS 13 in the months to come.
Loser: Apple, for its exorbitant monitor stand and semi-opaquely-specced cheese grater
So while we’ve just bigged up the Pro Display XDR and cooed over its clever LED-tweaking algorithm, we are a lot less impressed with the fact that the flexible monitor stand is priced at $1000 – and will likely cost a similar amount in Sterling. This is quite literally grandstanding. It’s a thing to hang your monitor on, Apple. We’re sure it looks lovely, and that rotating action is very smooth, but a thousand big ones? Please.
On the subject of pricing, the Mac Pro has the specs to impress – anything which can comfortably run up to 1000 audio tracks in Logic is obviously worth splashing out for – but is the pricing right on this?
When announcing new computing hardware, Apple is usually vague about the exact components – see the recent refresh of the new MacBook Pro vs old MacBook Pro line for another example – and when the curtain went up on the Mac Pro, it was no exception.
The entry-level version, we’re told, will feature a 3.5GHz octo-core Intel Xeon processor. Which Xeon, exactly? We have no way of knowing for sure. Because we don’t know the names of the CPUs, we can’t refer to benchmark data to know if it’s a good deal or not. Is this a better or worse option than, say, a consumer CPU, like the i9-9900K, or one of AMD’s Threadrippers? We currently have no idea of knowing.
You can also choose to add up to four AMD Vega graphics processors here – Radeon Pro Vega 2s – which Apple claims offers the world’s most powerful graphics card set-up. And that might be technically true, if only because you can’t buy AMD Navi cards yet.
Pricing for the entire range has yet to be detailed, but the Mac Pros will start at $5999, which is about £4700 in pre-Brexit money.
We’re sure that the Mac Pro will be a very powerful performer, but it’s landing at a time when we’ve just had Intel and AMD announce new CPUs and GPUs, so the jury’s out on whether or not this will be a good value for money option by the time it hits shelves.

With the housing white paper hot off the press, the spotlight is really on the nation’s builders.
With the government allocating a fund of £1.4 billion to new homes, there’s plenty to spend, but is there anyone available to spend it with?
The Federation of Master Builders have already reported a hike in workload, but are issuing a stark warning that an impending skills shortage could have a real impact on the government’s impressive house building plans, with half of small construction firms finding it difficult to hire roofers, electricians, plumbers and plasterers.
This is added to an already severe shortage of bricklayers and carpenters which has blighted British building for some time. However, this shortage of skilled tradespeople isn’t stopping the properties springing up. In the last quarter of 2016, the share of firms reporting an increase in workload increased to 30% (from 26% in the third quarter), with those experiencing a drop in workload fell to 15%, from 23%.
Of the 15 key trades and occupations we monitor, 40% show skills shortages at their highest point since we started to feel the effects of the skills crisis in 2013 when the industry bounced back post-downturn. This growing skills deficit is driving up costs for small firms and simultaneously adding to the pressure being felt by soaring material prices linked to the weaker pound. If the Government wants the objectives of its Housing White Paper to be realised, it will need to ensure the construction sector has the skilled workers it needs to build these new homes.Brian Berry, chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders

Last week, Gono was named First Team All-America by the American Football Coaches Association and the Associated Press. Gono is the first Wolverine to earn All-America status from at least three of the major Division III football media outlets since Joe Callahan in 2015.
It is Gono's second D3football.com All-America honor of his career after being selected D3footall.com All-America Honorable Mention in 2015.
A Gagliardi Trophy semifinalist, Gono is a three-time D3Football.com All-East Region and New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) First Team honoree. He is also a two-time All-Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) All-Star.
Gono did not allow a sack all year and helped lead the Wolverines to the best offense in the NJAC with 5,295 total yards, including 2,477 yards on the ground. He paved the way for five All-NJAC Players, including NJAC Offensive Player of the Year, ECAC All-Star and D3football All-Region running back E.J. Lee.
Lee ranks fifth in Division III in rushing touchdowns (22), seventh in rushing yards (1,582) and 14th in yards per game (131.8).
One of the best offensive linemen in the country regardless of division, all 32 NFL teams have been to Wesley's campus to see Gono play. | <urn:uuid:deb26864-2cd0-4eec-8260-451d0b8371e4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://athletics.wesley.edu/sports/fball/2017-18/releases/20171218nol3gb | 2020-09-26T15:41:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.961244 | 302 |

We documented that. Ian Walsh, Hoyer and Moysa were there too.
She can do more push-ups than you.

Two weeks ago I introduced the idea of nine main fiction plot points. When you decide to write a novel, you’ll need to decide the main conflict for your character – who (or what) will come against your character to keep the story moving forward?
Today I want to start looking at the first of those fiction plots – Character vs. Character. This plot line is one of my favorites. Why? Because it’s the basis of almost every superhero movie! So what traits make up the Character vs. Character plot?
Two Diametrically Opposed Characters: These aren’t just two people who can’t agree on pizza. They aren’t even family members who never get along. The clashing characters in this novel plot fight for completely opposite things.
- Thor and Loki: Thor wants to give the nine realms freedom to live their own lives. Loki wants a throne so he can rule over someone (and he doesn’t care who).
- Spiderman and Green Goblin: Spidey fights to keep the city safe. The Green Goblin doesn’t care who he hurts to get what he wants.
- Oliver and Barbara Rose*: This couple in The War of the Roses technically has the same motivation, but their motivations oppose each other – they both want the house in the divorce, and they will do whatever they can to make sure the other person doesn’t get it.
One Winner: There is no participation trophy here. One character wins, and one character loses. Thor captures Loki. Spiderman kills the Green Goblin. There can only be one. (*Technically The War of the Roses doesn’t fill this requirement as there isn’t one clear winner, but their fate helps other characters win.)
The character versus character plot doesn’t have to be a superhero movie though. This theme plays well in all genres. Political thriller? Two people running for the same office. One who wants to clean the toxic water the supply. The other does not. How about a romance? Two guys fighting for the same girl. Or a Western? Sheriff versus outlaw. As long as there are two characters butting heads, you can make this plot line work.
What’s your favorite Character vs. Character story?

Pakistan condemns, in the strongest terms, the suicide attack that took place near a hospital in Kabul this afternoon which resulted in the loss of precious lives and left many people injured.
We standby with our brotherly people of Afghanistan in this moment of grief and convey our deepest condolences to the bereaved families. We pray to Almighty Allah to grant them patience and forbearance in this hour of difficulty and hope for the speedy recovery of the injured.
The abominable act of targeting innocent civilians reflects the cowardice of the terrorists. It strengthens our resolve to continue our struggle of countering terrorism in all of its forms. We reiterate our resolve to closely coordinate with the Government of Afghanistan in this fight against our common enemy.

Apologies for actually missing Friday – it’s been a long week. To make up for it, for this week’s Bad Book Cover Friday, I’m covering (har [?]) a series that Kakaner has been begging me to do pretty much since the beginning – L. E. Modesitt, Jr.’s The Saga of Recluce.
These covers actually work the best without much commentary, so prepare for some scrolling –
See a running theme here yet?
Oh hello, yet another cover featuring two burly men about to hammer each other with their lances of energy. (This is my favorite of the bunch, for the record.)
Change it up – here’s a female (!) officer with some PIRATES.
Yes, yes, this is another situation where I can’t really judge because I haven’t read the books, and I’m sure the way in which whatever magic they’re using is performed is integral to the series, and having identical consistent posing and imagery helps brand the series, etc. etc., but you do have to wonder if literal illustrators ever step back from what they’re doing and look at it. | <urn:uuid:048cf831-d192-4f9e-8b8a-7eaf00fc0455> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://theblackletters.net/bbcf-the-saga-of-recluce/ | 2020-09-26T16:05:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.946311 | 255 |

Kelly and J made the trip to Jim Thorpe (all the way from Asbury Park, NJ!) on a foggy balmy day a couple of weeks ago. These two have been both actively engaged in planning their wedding and talking with me for quite a while now and it was great to finally meet them. It was easy to see what a natural match they are for one another. Shooting with them was fun and almost effortless.

This year's Thanksgiving was packed with delicious food, friends, and lots of love! The star of dinner was the beautiful cider glazed turkey with amazingly dark crispy skin.
The popovers were a hit, too - one was even used as a shell for a Thanksgiving "taco" full of turkey, gravy and all the sides!
After we stuffed ourselves to the brim with this amazing spread -
- we delighted in a dessert of cinnamon ice cream, pumpkin pie with fresh whipped cream and this year's dessert rookie, apple cider cream pie!

How to receive more by refusing more
Have you heard the old story about the student and the tea cup?
A young man who’s very proud of his existing knowledge seeks to learn even more from an older, wiser man, but the student’s pride and arrogance are getting in the way of him learning anything new. So the wise teacher finds a way to make it clear that the student needs to approach the learning differently.
He offers tea to the student, but, rather than fill the cup only part-way full, he keeps pouring until the cup overflows. Then he tells the student, ‘Just as the cup is too full to hold any more, so is your brain too full of what you think you already know. You need to be willing to learn with a student’s open mind.”
I’m reminded of this story when I hear myself mentally muttering, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already know that” when I read about the need to clearly define your ideal client. It’s even more challenging for me to accept the corollary: refuse to accept anyone who doesn’t match that profile. (After all, I know I can help them!) And when you’re launching a new product or service and are hungry to get the first paying client for that new offering, it’s pretty tempting to operate on the theory that “any revenue is good revenue.”
But if you do that—if you accept as a client anyone who has a pulse—then you’re making yourself unavailable to the people that you will adore working with because your skill set is so exactly what they need.
Are you settling for less than you’re worth?
What sort of outcomes do you think you’d experience if your day weren’t filled with low-payoff activities? What could you have more of if you had less in the way of energy-sucking people and activities? What if you said “No” to things like:
- discounting your prices just because someone asks you to
- doing work for free rather than pointing out to the client that the original scope of the project does not cover those extras
- taking on a client even though your gut is screaming, “Don’t do it!!!”
- settling for whatever you can get rather than doing whatever it takes to get what you really deserve
And on the flip side, what would you enjoy if you said “Yes” to things like:
- stepping outside your comfort zone to play a bigger game
- agreeing to do something you’ve never tried before, despite your fear
- learning from past mistakes instead of bludgeoning yourself with them
- accepting compliments instead of turning them away
- acknowledging and honoring your own talents even if others fail to
When you refuse the things that don’t serve you, it gives you the space and the capacity to receive more and act on those opportunities that present themselves. Which approach are you going to choose?

We have targeting the philosophical issues of the core of the self-discipline of pc science. We have said little to nothing concerning the actual purposes of the topic, functions many would argue give the discipline its efficiency. Applications embrace not simply technological ones similar to techniques that run nuclear power stations and that guide missiles to their targets, however scientific ones corresponding to these concerned in computational biology, cognitive science, and the computational principle of thoughts. However, irrespective of how useful and spectacular are these purposes, they’ve very specialised objectives.

The longer program also permits a larger variety of professional internships that can provide students with instrumental, entry-degree experience. Few issues bolster a candidate’s resume quite as successfully as demonstrated expertise within the subject, so this must be a top consideration for a lot of prospective students.

Computer programmers make the most of programming processing languages like C++ and Python to increase productivity, devise debugging capabilities, and a variety of different features.
Information technology vs. pc science
Indeed, as examined in §6, verification and testing methods are often jointly concerned in advancing hypotheses on the behaviors of carried out computing techniques, and offering proof (either algorithmically or empirically) in assist of these hypotheses. Holders of the mathematical nature of laptop science assume that programs are mathematical entities about which one can pursue purely deductive reasoning offered by the formal strategies of theoretical pc science. As examined in §four.2and §5.1, Dijkstra and Hoare had been very specific in stating that programs’ directions could be acknowledged as mathematical sentences and how a formal semantics for programming languages can be given when it comes to an axiomatic system (Hoare 1969).

I sometimes think that, because I am older than many of my colleagues in the PhD program, I have to work a bit harder to get it. But what is lost in speed is balanced by a vast array of intellectual and emotional resources that have been built up through years of life experience.
Learning is like breathing air to me. If I cannot learn, I cannot truly live. My superpower (thanks Kris!) is inquiry. And it is this that led me to a PhD program that is about learning. I am pursuing my PhD in Educational Technology at Concordia University. Through this program, I am both broadening and refining my interests, exploring new directions and, learning about learning.
Writing is a key part of this process. As I write, I am transformed. I try to set down words on the page that will match or clarify the concepts in my mind and, in the process, my thoughts change. Sometimes I “artify” my writing a bit too much for the social sciences. I should mention that I am trained as an artist, meaning that I have learned to think with materials and from materials in their temporal, spatial, historical and cultural engagements. It’s hard to specify what artistic thinking is. On the one hand, it could be characterized as open and sensitive. As an artist, one trains in becoming an instrument that registers the forces and relations of the world. On the other hand, artistic thinking is analytical. It involves taking things apart in order that new potentials can be realized. That I value and am steeped in these two aspects of artistic thinking might help to explain why I find Bruno Latour’s work so compelling. I’ll come back to that later. I attended a Canadian art college where I received my BFA. Later I acquired an MFA focusing on human-machine relations through new media and robotic artwork investigations and productions.
In the course of my PhD education I had been reviewing hundreds of experimental or quasi-experimental studies on the effects of technology integration in the classroom. This is one of the fundamental areas in my field: to better understand how technology use can facilitate or improve learning. One theme that kept presenting itself was the continued and mostly unquestioned assumption that something [in the classroom] needs to be improved, such as increased student engagement, better achievement scores for the learners, improved student satisfaction and so on. Generally, the technology referred to in the studies either improves the outcomes for learners depending on what it is that is being measured, or has little or no effect on learners (whether any intervention applied has little or no effect is debatable of course but we won’t delve here).The point is that improvement in the classroom is associated with technology use. This is one underlying assumption of the field.
As an aside or as a further rationalization for technology implementation, the authors often articulated the economic benefits of the particular technology used — it reduced costs for the institution, or made better use of the teacher’s time and skills. I’m not opposed to efficiency, nor to the use of technology to facilitate learning. And I’m not at all opposed to saving money. I am concerned about the unquestioned assumption that technology use necessarily leads to economic benefit. Technology use should not take precedence over what constitutes quality education.
I am interested in several issues: the first is to better understand and problematize “technology” from various philosophical lenses and methodologies and to closely examine the underlying assumptions around its investigation and application in educational technology and educational research; and, second, to investigate new potentials for technology use in the classroom, particularly in the ways it can empower students and professors within higher education settings; and third, to generate and inform policy based on these investigations.
I recently wrote a paper that explored the massification of pedagogy through COURSERA, a social entrepreneurial venture in mass online education. In the massification of pedagogy, I am concerned about the loss of intellectual autonomy, meaningful relationships between students and their professors, and the possibility of creative risk-taking that can occur when trust develops in the classroom. To critique a new venture such as this does not make me anti-technology, as some would like to suggest. If an organization is going to posit itself as a major contributor to education, then it should do so from a place that is informed by the work that has already been done in the field. But if we are conscientious, concerned citizens we must ask the important questions and always keep in mind the impacts and effects, not as an afterthought but as ethical considerations from the beginning of our projects.
I draw on the philosophy of technology to help me make sense of all of this such as Andrew Feenberg’s (2005) Critical Theory of Technology and the post-phenomenological hermeneutics of Ihde (1995), actor-network theory (Latour, 2005). But I will also draw on post-structuralist theorists such as Foucault (1979; 1972) and philosophers of education such as Dewey (1990; 1934) and contemporary thinkers too. As part of my course in Advanced qualitative research I will explore the methods for these theoretical applications. What interests me about some of the theories I am encountering is the emphasis on reflexivity and transformation. At the same time, I find it a challenge to let go of validity, reliability, the standards established by my field. But the arguments within qualitative research that address these traditional concerns expand upon and highlight the potentialities in educational research.
I want my research to have a practical application, to have a positive effect, to provide something to the people with whom I’m engaged in research. I am integral to the process. I am an actor, an artist, a social scientist, a learning specialist, an educational technologist in the shared and networked world of living research and creation through inquiry. | <urn:uuid:ca319e19-a3b3-4e8a-bbc4-b1059556b135> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://constanzasilva.com/category/about-the-author/ | 2020-09-26T13:57:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.959949 | 1,230 |
The Pacific Highway at Chatswood has jumped to the top of the list of worst crash locations in NSW with 135 crashes and bingles in the year to September 2013, (based on insurance claims lodged with AAMI Insurance).
Locals will tell you that the new statistic just tells what we already knew.
One of the biggest problem locations is the intersection of the Highway with Albert Avenue and Centennial Avenue. This has been a problem location for years. Cars turning right onto the Highway from Albert Avenue frequently ignore the red light at Centennial Ave, driving into the intersection when vehicles turning right from Centennial Avenue are exiting.
Another problem is the fact at certain times of the day lanes in opposite direction are directly facing each other. At similar locations in the city, such as at Neutral Bay, there are in-road guidance lights and overhead lane lights.
The Pacific Highway is under the care and control of the State Government under the jurisdiction of the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). Locals have been lobbying the Local Member (Ms Berijiklian) for years in regard to this problem. It is well behind the time that action is taken to resolve these problems. | <urn:uuid:dfa60793-d9bd-4105-b4a3-59dcc9f41159> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cwwpa.org/2013/12/18/chatswood-tops-the-crash-list/ | 2020-09-26T14:21:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.963144 | 240 |
Someone asked me recently why their Lionel train won’t slow down, and when I asked for elaboration, I learned the train wasn’t responding to the throttle on the transformer.
Usually I see the opposite problem, but this one is an easy mistake to make. Fortunately the fix for it is also easy.
This mistake is easiest to make on modern setups using a CW-80 transformer. The CW-80 has two sets of posts in the back: one labeled A and U and the second labeled B and U. The first set of posts adjusts its voltage output based on the throttle. The second set of posts outputs a constant voltage. Odds are when you connect the train to that set, not only does it run at a constant speed, but it’s a constant fast speed.
So the fix is to connect posts A and U to the track, rather than B and U. The B and U posts power things like lights, switches, signals, and motorized accessories.
On most transformers the U posts are all interchangeable if there’s more than one. But not all CW-80s are wired that way. It’s safest to use the U post directly below the A post. You won’t harm the train or yourself by using the wrong one, but it might not work right if you do.
If this happens with an older transformer that isn’t a CW-80, odds are you found some other set of fixed voltage posts. The train will work, but you won’t be able to control it. Vintage Lionel transformer had a varying number of posts and what combinations did what often varied as well. But generally speaking, you’ll almost always find posts labeled A and U. Those are almost always safe ones to use. If you want to get fancy you can use others. Refer to my collection of pinouts for Lionel transformers to determine what works best for your transformer. | <urn:uuid:e0c52fbd-368f-48b9-ab64-cb1b342246af> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dfarq.homeip.net/lionel-train-wont-slow-down-heres-the-fix/ | 2020-09-26T15:14:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.944513 | 402 |

METAL-MASTER Company started tests of innovative FLARIS RESCUE SYSTEM®
FLARIS RESCUE SYSTEM® has been designed by engineers of Metal-Master. It consists of the following systems:
• parachute safety system for the whole aircraft
• air-bag safety system for the whole aircraft
The FFAS® Rescue System is designed to assure safety for pilot and passengers of the aircraft in the case of emergency. The plane will drop gently on the parachute and air-bags will protect the fuselage in a moment of contact with ground or water avoiding a damage. Actually, all elements and subsystems, such as control mechanisms, parachute housing in the aft fuselage, small rocket deploying the canopy, are tested.
The FFAS® Rescue System has been successfully integrated with the Flaris Flight Assistance System (FFAS®) , which is the Metal-Master avionics system responsible for navigation, flight control, autopilot, weather and situation awareness, works with the ECU and WILLIAMS FJ33-5A engine.

One of the joys of moving house is exploring your new neighbourhood, including its eateries.
We have been lucky enough to strike some absolute gold on a number of levels, not least of which is living within walking distance of Melbourne’s only ‘5 star Thai restaurant’ as they proudly proclaim on the extensive website at ‘Paladarr Thai Issan’. Right opposite Alphington train station, with a beautiful, modern interior to match its food, and even a sommelier to help you guide you through the spices and flavours of your meal to reach the perfect alcoholic match. A highlight is their famous appetiser, Miang Karm, where you’re presented with a plate filled with diced ginger, chilli, toasted coconut, diced lime and dried shrimp which you then wrap in a Chapoo leaf, add their tamarind sauce and send your tastebuds into sensation overload! Great special-occasion dining, and apparently people come from all over Melbourne for dinner here. www.paladarr.com.au
One of our favourite breakfast haunts is the ridiculously popular Apte, on Heidelberg Road in Fairfield. Despite its bustling activity, they always manage to find you a seat, and bring your piccolo latte with speed and a smile, which is surprising given the heaving weekend workload. Happily the menu has remained constant for a little while now, allowing me to indulge my love of their pea and corn fritters served with Tasmanian smoked salmon, dill, sourcream, rocket and avocado. The big breakfast option is also sensational, their coffee is unfailingly great, and the pikelets with maple syrup, strawberries, banana and sugared pecans are very popular with Mr 6 year old. Apte is very child -friendly, including space for strollers, (and dogs) and has a lovely outdoor area which is covered, heated and filled with flowers, herbs and garden sculptures.
When you go inside to settle your bill, you will be distracted and mesmerised by the large cupcakes on the counter. Or perhaps the homemade preserves or muesli, or the carrot cake. Give in. You won’t be disappointed.
Apte, 538 Heidelberg Road, Fairfield
Next stop, Chianti Bistro, in Clifton Hill which was recommended by our neighbours. We had to search hard for this rustic, unpretentious tiny bistro, covered in prints of Italy, shelves full of Chianti Classico, and a small, handwritten menu up on a chalkboard offering typical dishes like parmigiana, veal scallopine, etc. Delicious, honest food, served with steamed veg, and a huge dose of Italian hospitality, our host alternating between speaking to us in Italian and English. Charming, intimate, well-priced and a new favourite.
Chianti Bistro 376 Queens Pde, Clifton Hill
Station Street in Fairfield is another gem waiting to be fully explored, and we are making our way slowly up one side and down the other. The clear front-runner at present has to be Viet Palace, which serves great Pho, excellent special fried rice (hard to find and very important in my book), a salt and pepper squid to knock your socks off, and a Chef’s special of duck with sesame prawn (sounds wrong but trust me, the flavour is sensational). This place is your standard Vietnamese decor, complete with fish tank, but the food is most definitely fit for a king.

No one ever wants to file a personal injury claim, as it can come with a lot of hassle and stress. However, if you’ve been injured in a car accident or on the job, it may be necessary to keep your head above water as medical bills and other expenses pour in. You may wonder how to file a claim and what can even be filed for. Here is a rundown of damages that can determine your claim’s worth. As long as you can prove the damages came from the accident, there is no reason to suffer immense financial loss on top of your injury.
The amount of your medical bills depends on the severity of your injury. If you’ve suffered greatly, your bills may be enormous and costly. Multiple appointments, surgeries, and physical therapy are all a part of your recovery and therefore a result of the accident. These bills can be included in your damages and prove exactly how much your claim is worth on the medical side of things. Keep track of all your medical expenses that resulted from the injury. These documents will be vital in proving how much money you deserve after the accident.
Pain and Suffering
This is more of a grey area because it cannot be translated perfectly to monetary terms. However, you can gain compensation for pain and suffering that you’ve endured because of your injury. This may be incredibly important if your road to recovery has been long and plagued with problems.
No longer being able to work can also count toward your total compensation. Proving that you are not working and are losing money from a lack of income can bring reimbursement later. If your vehicle is damaged in the accident, then you can also make a claim for property damage. The monetary value of the car will be taken from its current worth and other variables, which will be returned to you in your compensation.
Personal Injury Attorneys
To be rightfully compensated by insurance, it is necessary to prove that the damages were caused by the accident. This is why keeping good records of everything related to the accident is important. You can use these documents as evidence of your losses. A personal injury lawyer, like a personal injury lawyer in Charlottesville, VA, can help you navigate these tricky waters to get the most out of a terrible situation. They have fees as well, but they normally do not get paid until your claim has been settled or won in court.

With the number of line-ups Vivo has in their smartphones, they could easily become a car maker company too. In such models, the Style meant S series has a new device in the category, the Vivo S1 Pro. With top-notch AMOLED display, quad-lens rear camera setup and decent performance, the device looks great in terms of design. After being able to use it for a good amount of time, here is the Vivo S1 Pro Review.
Design and Display
The Vivo S1 Pro has a huge 6.38-inch display upfront with smooth rounded corners. You get a good hold of the device and gives that premium feeling upon holding. On the front, above the display is the earpiece inside the teardrop notch along with the selfie camera and the sensors, an in-display fingerprint sensor and a thick chin at the bottom for the comfy holding of the device. On the back, with the laminated plastic design, it has the quad-lens camera set up in a unique rhombus-shaped module and the LED flashlight just below the module. Parallel to the module is the Vivo branding at the bottom.
The right panel has the power button along with the volume rockers and on the left panel, we have the SIM card tray which is a hybrid slot. On the top panel, we have the secondary noise cancellation mic along with the 3.5mm headphone jack and on the bottom is the USB Type-C port along with the speaker and microphone.
The Vivo S1 Pro sports a 6.38-inch AMOLED FHD+ display and it is bright with the color reproduction on the warmer side. With the AMOLED display, you have your perks as saving battery, always-on display with different styles of clocks. Apart from that, it has got some filters such as blue-light filter while reading or in dark scenarios. The build quality and protection are also good enough and the device feels sturdy enough. Overall, the display is a good get for a device of this price.
Software and Performance
The Vivo S1 Pro runs on Android 9.0 with Funtouch OS 9.2 on top of it, out of the box. With the Android security patch for December 2019, Vivo does try to keep up in the updates race but we still can’t be sure about the Android 10 update for either of their devices. With iPhone like gestures, it has its customization options in the settings you can check out. Apart from the Google Apps, the device has some pre-installed apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Gaana, UC Browser, Amazon, Dailyhunt, PhonePe, and Paytm which can be uninstalled if not necessary.
Out in the performance section, the Vivo S1 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 665 SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM. This combined with AMOLED display and the multi-tasking capability builds up the performance unit of this device. On a day to day life, you will be satisfied with the performance as we did tests with multiple apps running in the background and still multi-tasking, and the device did not disappoint much.
On the gaming side too, we did carry out the ritual of playing PUBG Mobile and have to say that the device was struggling a bit even in the lowest graphic settings. With multiple apps running and still playing intensive games, the performance did backlash a bit with certain frame drops. The single speaker on the bottom is loud enough but considering you want to game harder, you gotta have some earphones handy.
Cameras: Vivo S1 Pro Review
The Vivo S1 Pro has a 48MP primary rear camera with f/1.8 aperture, 8MP 120-degree wide-angle camera with f/2.2 aperture along with a 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor. On the front, it has a 32MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture. The stock camera app has a simple UI with toggles for flash, HDR, Portrait mode, and live photos on the top bar. In the settings, you have various settings you can modify and on the usual screen, you can find the option to switch between camera modes that include DOC to scan documents, Pro mode with manual settings to adjust exposure, ISO, shutter speed, panorama, night mode, AR stickers, and more.
Out from the rear camera, the images come out decently great through the primary sensor. The daylight shots are great and it has the auto HDR which will turn on HDR mode based on the scene you are taking a photo in. Macro shots are good up to an extent with a decent amount of blur in the background. The 8MP wide-angle lens on the other side does not give out the good quality of photos. The photos taken with the wide-angle lens give a good view but lack of colors and details.
When in lowlight conditions, the images come out low in detail and with more noise. However, with the night mode coming to the rescue, the images are better than that of what we have seen in other Vivo devices. The portrait mode though, with the 2MP depth sensor, could have done better with the edge detection, at least, that’s what we think.
The 32MP selfie camera does produce good quality selfies with sharp details. For the portraits, it uses software to blur the background which is decent enough. Apart from that, the front camera also has HDR and AI beautifications through which people can up their selfie game. Check out the camera samples below.
Battery and Miscellaneous
The Vivo S1 Pro houses a 4500mAh battery which will last a day or so picking out from the numbers. In our tests too, the device did last us a day with most of the usage coming from browsing, social media, gaming, YouTube & other streaming, and calls. Along with the power saving mode, there is also a Super Power saving mode which just enables contacts, phone, messages, and clock.
Out of the box, the device comes with an 18W Dual-Engine fast charging adapter, it takes up to 90 minutes to fully charge from 0 to 100%. Also, it supports reverse charging through which you can charge other devices with the USB OTG cable. Considering how Vivo is fond of Micro USB ports, it seems like they have finally made a move forward here.
Coming to the other fields of interest, the speakers are loud enough to be heard in a medium-sized room and the audio through the earphones is also defined well. The device also supports Widevine L1 which means you can stream video content at HD in streaming services. Apart from that, the connectivity levels are great with VoLTE dual SIM and Bluetooth 5.0.
Verdict: Vivo S1 Pro Review
Priced starting at Rs. 17798, for the offerings that it has, the Vivo Z1x strives to be the best device in the mid-range segment. With an AMOLED display, in-display fingerprint sensor, 48MP primary sensor, average gaming performance, and a 4500 mAh battery along with 18W fast charging support, the Vivo S1 Pro is a good bet for the people seeking a decent device in the mid-range segment. If you want a good experience in terms of UI, you would not want to have this device, but rather go with a stock Android device.
- AMOLED display
- 48MP rear primary camera sensor
- Humongous 4500 Battery with 18W fast charging
- Funtouch OS lacks smoothness
- Wide-angle lens camera not up to the mark | <urn:uuid:f918aa8b-cfbb-4671-b42f-2cb3d21ed831> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://installornot.com/reviews/vivo-s1-pro-review-specifications-india/ | 2020-09-26T15:35:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.939599 | 1,585 |
The leaves are turning and there’s a definite nip in the air. Autumn is well and truly here. And after an extended summer break, First Monday Crime is back a week today on the 2nd October at 6.30pm. But there are some very important things that you need to know.
Firstly – venue. First Monday has moved back to its roots at City University, St John Street, London EC1R 0JD (nearest Tube station is Angel).
Secondly – it’s now free! Thanks to City, the event is now sponsored by them and so there’s nothing to pay. But this doesn’t mean that you can just turn up. It would really help the First Monday team if you sign up at firstmonday.com and then they’ll know how many seats are needed for the event.
Thirdly – book sales will be done by Big Green Bookshop. Now, you may be thinking that name sounds familiar. Let’s just say Piers Morgan and Harry Potter. Enough said. You can check them out here.
Fourthly – I’m sure there’s something else I’m meant to tell you…. oh, yes, the authors! And what a selection!
Sunday Times Top Five bestseller, Ann Cleeves, is 2017’s recipient of the Crime Writer’s Association Diamond Dagger, the highest honour in British crime writing. The award recognises authors whose crime writing careers have been marked by sustained excellence, and who have made a significant contribution to the genre.
Cleeves has written 31 novels and is translated into as many languages. Before her writing career took off, Ann worked as a probation officer, bird observatory cook and auxiliary coastguard.
In 2015, Cleeves chaired the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, during which Vera was voted the UK’s favourite fictional detective.
Also in 2015, Thin Air, was nominated for the Scottish Crime Novel of the Year and Cleeves was shortlisted for the prestigious Crime Writers Association Dagger in the Library award. In 2006, Cleeves’ novel, Raven Black, was awarded the Duncan Lawrie Dagger (CWA Gold Dagger) for Best Crime Novel, and in 2012, she was inducted into the CWA Crime Thriller Awards Hall of Fame.
As well as fiction Ann has written a non-fiction title about Shetland and, in November 2015, she hosted the inaugural Shetland Noir festival on the Shetland Islands.
Cleeves lives in Northumberland with her husband.
Her latest Vera book is The Seagull.
Cleeves’ bestselling and acclaimed Vera series is famously set in the wild and beautiful county of Northumberland – sweeping across the rural villages to the rugged coastline with its post-industrial backdrop.
The Seagull, the eighth novel in the Vera Stanhope series, is partly set in Cleeves’ beloved home town of Whitley Bay and focuses on police corruption deep in the heart of a community, and on fragile, and fracturing family relationships.
A cold case takes Vera back in time and very close to home – forcing her to dig deeper into her late father, Hector’s, murky reputation. Vera must confront her prejudices and unwanted memories to dig out the truth, as the past begins to collide dangerously with the present . . .
A visit to her local prison brings DI Vera Stanhope face to face with an old enemy: former detective superintendent, and now inmate, John Brace. Brace was convicted of corruption and involvement in the death of a gamekeeper – and Vera played a part in his downfall.

Mark lives in the West Midlands, England, with his wife, their three children and a ginger cat.
His new novel is The Lucky Ones.
When a woman’s body is found in the grounds of a ruined priory, Detective Imogen Evans realises she is dealing with a serial killer – a killer of both men and woman, whose victims appear to die in a state of bliss, eyes open, smiles forever frozen on their faces. Imogen is under intense pressure from all sides as she desperately tries to discern not only the killer’s identity but also their motive, before it’s too late.
A few miles away, single dad Ben Hofland is back living in the sleepy village where he grew up, his career and marriage in tatters. But Ben feels his fortunes might finally be on the up as he miraculously finds the job of his dreams. What’s more, the bullies who have been terrorising his son, Ollie, disappear overnight. For the first time in months, Ben feels lucky. But he is unware that someone is watching him and his family. Someone who wants nothing but happiness for Ben. Happiness… and death.
Set near the author’s home, in Shropshire – ‘the nearest earthly approach to paradise’ as PG Wodehouse described it – Mark Edwards’ new novel explores our ideas about sense of place, of dark events in idyllic locations, and touches on issues of online safety, grooming and bullying.
Caz Frear grew up in Coventry and spent her teenage years dreaming of moving to London and writing a novel. After fulfilling her first dream, it wasn’t until she moved back to Coventry thirteen years later that the writing dream finally came true.
She has a first-class degree in History & Politics, which she’s put to enormous use over the years by working as a waitress, shop assistant, retail merchandiser and, for the past twelve years, a headhunter.
When she’s not agonising over snappy dialogue or incisive prose, she can be found shouting at the TV when Arsenal are playing or holding court in the pub on topics she knows nothing about.
Her book, Sweet Little Lies, was the winner of the Richard & Judy Search for a Bestseller competition.

Manuka Honey is one of the most excellent products that is generated initially or produced from the Australian and New Zealand regions. There have been many speculations around this honey for being the product for the medical grade.
In this blog, we will know if this honey has the right potential for the justified medical-grade to treat different skin or health problems for numerous patients effectively.
It heals wounds that are paining, both fresh and old
Scientists have tested and proven that this honey has a certain amount of antiviral and antibacterial properties. If you buy this honey from the trusted stores like Pacific Resources International, there’s a chance to enjoy such benefits against your wound.
When you apply this Manuka Honey on your wound, the properties mentioned above work in full force. That’s possible because trusted stores sell such a honey product with a high concentration of this honey belonging to the Australian or New Zealand region.
There is a higher grade of Methylglyoxal present in the honey
The component of Methylglyoxal (MGO) is present in higher concentrations when it comes to the UMF Manuka Honey distributed in multiple nations across the world. It is often present in the nectar plants of this honey grown in Australia or New Zealand.
This component is why this honey has a better concentration of antiviral and antibacterial properties for numerous patients to boost their immunity and health.
If there will be more MGO in Manuka Honey, then there will be more antiviral concentration combined with the antibacterial properties. Therefore, automatically the UMF or the unique Manuka Factor in any honey will rise. That’s because, usually, MGO is higher in this honey from Australia or New Zealand.
It works best against unwanted skin problems
Scientists and medical institutions across the nation tested this honey for years. It’s found that with the presence of the antibacterial properties, it’s possible to attack and remove the biofilm from the skin slowly and steadily.
The biofilm is a bacterial layer over the skin, which is quite challenging to remove from the standard treatments.
For this type of bacteria attack on your skin, you would quickly need Manuka Honey UMF 20+ product. You can make a better choice to buy such products from the online trusted stores that are selling medical products containing this honey, approved by the FDA.
Other than biofilm, it also treats Staphylococcus aureus. This infection causes more situations like pimples, scalded skin syndrome, cellulitis, and others over the skin. But products with UMF Manuka Honey work better over the skin to remove all these problems and render it flawless.
It removes the excess bacteria from the skin and regains its pH level
As far as the medical-grade and the capabilities of this honey go by, it’s a tried and tested fact that this honey can benefit your skin. It helps to regain the pH level and remove unhealthy layers over your skin.
It prevents the breakouts, stops pimples from growing, and works as an anti-ageing product altogether. This is possible because of the Gallic acid, which interacts with the free radicals over your skin. This way, this honey helps retain the moisture, pH, appearance, and beauty of the skin once applied.
Many scientists and doctors prescribe to use such honey products from the trusted beauty stores online to use them as moisturizers or body lotions. You can even make a mask with the help of this honey and rejuvenate your skin’s layers to bring back the charm.
This Australian honey is often presented in the body lotions, makeup cleaning towelettes, and even bandages when it comes to the healing, and beautifying uses one expects from this product.
An alternative to dental and oral health
Choose Manuka Honey UMF 20+ products when you have a sore throat or bad dental health. These honey products from the Australian or New Zealand neighbourhood know how to attack and solve such issues.That’s possible because this honey has been scientifically proven to attack plaque formation, remove gum inflammation, and stop tooth decay. It also focuses on removing or eliminating Streptococcus mutans, the bacteria responsible for a sore throat. This case was tested on cancer patients, though. It gave excellent results afterwards. | <urn:uuid:20e59882-4432-4f14-af1f-88c91f811c0a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mynewsfit.com/is-manuka-honey-medical-grade/ | 2020-09-26T15:58:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.928651 | 888 |
Foreword to part II
The attentive reader will notice that the Master Djwhal Khul in his books correlates Communism with the Third Ray of Activity or Intelligence. Whereas in this part of the brochure - made up of books of Lyudmila Reznik - Communism is explained as a conductor of the First Ray of Will.
D.K. says that Communism is the ideology of Humanity itself. Since Humanity represents the third ray in the Humanity–the Hierarchy–Shamballa system so Communism correspondingly is the third ray ideology. But within Humanity – as a unified centre of Sanat Kumara - the Communist Idea is the First Ray conductor, because, being an Ideology of Humanity it synthesizes all the other ideologies - democracy and monarchy - within it. Realization of a true democracy and a true monarchy (as the rule of an enlightened monarch) is only possible within a society whose ideology will be communist. It is only in it that democracy can exist as a fully conscious choice of each person free of the pressure of money, lies and deception, and an implementation of monarchy is possible in the form of a completely unselfish leader using Will exclusively for the good of people.
This can be explained very simple: everything has its logical and energy sequence, and Democracy - as a symbol of governing of the Hierarchy in its true form - can only be achieved after externalization of the Hierarchy on the Earth which is possible only once Humanity realizes its own destination.
The implementation of Monarchy - which is a symbol of reign of Sanat Kumara in Shamballa – is possible in its true form only after Humanity implements its Ideology. Due to it the externalization of the Hierarchy will become possible, and only after that the direct rule of the Lord of the World can be implemented. | <urn:uuid:29b81fdb-9835-4c57-82d0-6aacc9852d6c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mysterium.ru/en/russia-xx-century-esoteric-basis-ideology-online/foreword-part-ii | 2020-09-26T15:50:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.945299 | 367 |

The University of California, Los Angeles has announced a $10 million gift from Steve Tisch to establish scholarships for undergraduates, with a focus on students from middle-income families.
Half of the gift will be distributed over the next five years to provide four-year scholarships to students whose family income is too high to qualify for grant aid but not enough to cover the full cost of a UCLA education, beginning with the freshman class entering next fall. The remainder of the gift will be used to create an endowed fund to ensure the scholarship program's sustainability and challenge other donors to create similar scholarship funds. According to UCLA, while a student from a middle-income family typically might receive a scholarship of $1,300 to $5,200 a year from the state, that covers only 3 percent to 15 percent of the annual cost of attending the university.
An award-winning film and television producer, Tisch co-owns and serves as chair of the New York Giants. His previous support of UCLA includes a $10 million gift in 2014 to establish the UCLA Steve Tisch BrainSPORT Program.
"We know a college education provides individuals with long-term financial benefits, as well as making them more well-rounded and engaged in their communities," said Tisch. "But as the cost of college continues to climb, it is becoming more difficult for many hardworking middle-class families to attain. It is an honor for me to help provide opportunities for young women and men to access the value and experience of a UCLA education and positively impact the trajectory of their lives." | <urn:uuid:572836e8-5106-450d-884e-470e4dfdc5f2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/ucla-receives-10-million-for-scholarships-for-middle-class-students | 2020-09-26T14:19:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.968865 | 318 |
In 2001, the Enron collapse was a seminal moment in the financial world, highlighting the importance of accounting and corporate governance.
In another case (Enron), the board and its audit committee even included a highly respected auditing expert – a longtime college professor and textbook author – as well as other prominent individuals. Here too, the “honor” of service on the board of a top corporation (according to the famed Fortune 500 listing, the seventh largest shortly before massive fraud was uncovered) dazzled those directors, and this, coupled with the apparent skills of, and aura of mystique attributed to, the company’s top management, served to mesmerize those board members so that they totally abdicated their duties.
Governance failures don’t evolve overnight, and there are several warning signs that need to be noted in order to avoid such failures. These often are found to include:
- Ineffective governance mechanisms – for example, lack of board committees or committees consisting of few or a single member.
- Non-independent board and audit committee members – for example where a CEO fulfilled multiple roles in various committees.
- Management that deliberately undermines the role of the various governance structures by circumventing the internal controls and making misrepresentations to auditors and the board.
- Inadequately qualified members – for example, audit committee members not having appropriate accounting and financial reporting qualifications or experience to analyze key business transactions, family members holding board positions without appropriate knowledge or qualifications.
- Ignorance or inattention by regulators, auditors, analysts, etc., to the financial results and red flags.
In some jurisdictions legislation has been enacted, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the U.S., which has been designed to prevent governance failures by increasing the exposure of errant directors to civil and even criminal liability. For example, in the U.S., board members must obtain so-called “certifications” from the CEO and CFO regarding the absence of fraud and the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting functions. These requirements largely rely on an interesting psychological phenomenon: that many would-be criminals will hesitate when asked to formally acknowledge their probity, even as they demonstrate little aversion to spoken falsehoods to board members, auditors and even government overseers.
The widely-reported US$1.47 billion failure of Indian computer services giant Satyam in 2009 is one example of a large-scale, long-running financial reporting fraud (and asset theft) that implicated not only audit failure, by renowned international firm PwC, but also gross neglect of duty by the board of directors.
Satyam (ironically, the Sanskrit word for “truth”) had been cited as an example of India’s growing business sophistication and success. The company had even won numerous awards for innovation, governance, and corporate accountability. In 2007, accountants Ernst & Young had named Satyam CEO Raju the “Entrepreneur of the Year,” and in 2008, MZ Consults cited Satyam for being a leader in India in terms of corporate governance and accountability. Later in 2008 the World Council for Corporate Governance awarded Satyam the Global Peacock Award for global excellence in corporate accountability. Less than five months later, Satyam was revealed to have perpetrated a massive multi-year accounting fraud.
Satyam was found to have violated many fundamental rules of corporate governance, including: not distinguishing the roles of board and management; failed separation of the roles of the CEO and chairman; weak appointments to the board; excessive directors’ and executives’ compensation; and inadequate protection of shareholders rights. In reaction to the revelations in 2009, legislation and regulations in India were enacted and adopted to, inter alia, alter procedures for the appointment of independent directors, enhance certain disclosures such as of pledged securities, require adoption of IFRS (although, as is the case in most frauds, the fault was not associated with which financial reporting standards were used, but rather in the proper adherence to any such standards), and the creation of a new corporate code by the Indian Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
In the author’s experience, and consistent with the observation that “hindsight is 20-20 vision,” most frauds, once revealed, are indeed found to have been rather obvious, and should have been readily uncovered, if not actually prevented, by properly functioning mechanisms of corporate governance. For example, for many of the headline cases (Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat — all of which were personally studied by the author — and Satyam, Olympus and Toshiba, among many others), transactions and/or account balances that strained credulity should have been challenged by board members, which would have surely truncated the fraud and resulted in management changes. | <urn:uuid:aa8b6593-13a7-4691-9bd2-dee8a67995e1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pwco.com.sg/general/failed-corporate-governance-as-the-handmaiden-of-financial-fraud/ | 2020-09-26T16:06:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.963841 | 997 |
Formal performance measurement systems have become a prominent feature throughout most of the public sector. The NHS is no exception and the government is developing and expanding on existing performance data to produce a new national framework which is to be at the heart of the 'performance-led' NHS. The success of formal performance measurement systems depends in part on the degree to which they can capture adequately relevant information within a quantitative framework. In this paper, we explore the use of formal, quantitative 'hard' information and informal, subjective 'soft' information in the assessment of the performance of NHS hospital Trusts by external organisations. Our empirical work is summarised into 3 main themes: (i) the use of 'soft' information as a complement to 'hard' information; (ii) the use of 'soft' information as a substitute for 'hard' information; and (iii) the use of 'hard' information as a safety net in the assessment of performance. We argue that 'soft' information plays a valuable role in the assessment of performance of NHS Trusts and note that this is also reflected in current practice in the private sector. We argue that one of the main functions of 'hard' information in performance assessment is to act as a safety net in order to identify laggards by highlighting poor performance. Rarely is it used as a means to encourage good performance or to identify best practice. Whilst the safety net function may indeed be useful, if the new national performance framework is to achieve its aim of promoting good performance, the limitations of formal systems will have to be taken into account. We argue that the advantages of 'soft' information in the NHS should be acknowledged, rather than trying to force it into a formal framework where the benefits may be nullified. However, we also warn against excessive reliance on 'soft' information and suggest that a balanced system which allows both 'hard' and 'soft' information to flourish is the optimal solution to performance assessment in the NHS.

How Company Blogs Help Drive Traffic and Increase Sales
- February 22, 2018

Small businesses have one powerful tool that puts them on par with the heavy hitters of their industry — the Internet.
But, you must learn how to use the Internet correctly if you want to make the most of it.
While every company should have a website, they should also have rich, engaging content in order to attract visitors. This content may not immediately drive a sale, but it can develop a longlasting relationship with your potential customer.
One of the easiest, most effective types of content that you can add to your site is blogs. Blogs can be short, long, informative, or captivating. Thus, it’s easy to write something for everyone with a handful of blogs.
But, it isn’t enough to publish something on your favorite topic. Read on to learn how to make company blogs work for your business.
You’ll Drive Traffic With Company Blogs
When your consumers surf the web, there’s a good chance that they’re embarking on a mission to find something. More often than not, this involves them using a search engine and typing in a question or phrase.
By having company blogs on your website, people who are looking for your product or service are likely to find you if your content has relevant keywords. Keep in mind, however, that you should only post high-quality content to your blog.
If a potential customer who was using Google ends up making it to your site, the last thing you want them to do is to turn around and leave because your content is lackluster.
This applies to your site’s design and layout, too. Your blog could have amazing written content, but if the visuals are offputting, then your visitors may never take the chance to read it.
You Offer Visitors the Chance to Become Customers
As previously mentioned, visitors who come to your site have the opportunity to become customers. But, they often need a nudge in the right direction, and it’s your job to get them there.
The best part about having your own blog is that you are in control of all of the content. Therefore, you can decide how much or how little you want to push your product or service in your blogs.
While it’s a good idea to give your visitor an offer such as a free trial or a subscription to your newsletter, you shouldn’t make it obvious that you’re looking for a sale.
People like to buy things, but not many people like to feel like they are being sold something. So, you should take care to provide value in a discreet way to your visitors. Internal links to your own product pages are a great way to do this.
Establish Your Authority
People who want to learn more about a subject will always look to someone else who knows more than they do. If they are able to learn new information with little trouble, then they will keep coming back to that source in the future.
By publishing cohesive, informative blogs to your website, you will be able to establish yourself as an authority in your industry.
This is particularly easy if you happen to have the capability to offer guides or tutorials to your consumers. It also gives you the chance to create your own original content for your company blogs, such as photographs and videos.
Your authoritative presence will also help benefit your sales, too. People are more likely to spend money on something that comes from a trustworthy source. If your site seems shady, you won’t be driving many conversions.
Easy Content for Social Media
In today’s age, every business needs a social media channel. At the very least, this will put you on par with other companies in your industry that have a Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram profile.
But, many businesses struggle when it comes to managing these platforms. That’s why many entrepreneurs hire social media strategists to take the weight off their shoulders.
You’ll have an endless source of content from your company blog as long as you continually post on your website. It can be difficult to keep up, but you’ll do wonders for your future sales numbers by maintaining consistency.
You can share your newest blogs on all of your social media channels and reach people that you otherwise may not have. This will vastly increase your exposure over time, giving you more opportunity to build your consumer base.
And, if your content is particularly engaging, your readers may choose to share it with all of their own followers, exponentially increasing how many people will see your content.
It Gives Your Brand a Voice
It’s a business death sentence to own a company that your consumers can easily throw into a group of similar businesses. You have to stand out if you want to succeed, and branding is one of the best ways to do so.
Branding doesn’t come quick nor does it come easy. Your company blogs, however, provide a perfect platform for your brand voice to be heard by your consumers.
Through your blogs, you’ll be able to tell your customers what your company is all about. You can throw plenty of humor in there, too, which will help you resonate with your audience.
You’ll also be able to talk to your customers like they’re people and not sales numbers. This type of communication will build trust over time.
How to Start Company Blogs
It’s as simple as sitting down and quality content that is relevant to your consumer.
If you own a business that provides cybersecurity service to your clients, then your potential topics could range from best security practices to how to protect yourself against new types of malware.
It will become easier as time moves along, too. Once you build a solid reader base, people will be eager to read your next post.
Company blogs are a powerful asset to any type of business. But, you should implement them appropriately. Want to see how it’s done?

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique developed to treat the ever-increasing global incidence of cancer. This technique utilises singlet oxygen (1O2) generation via a laser excited photosensitiser (PS) to kill cancer cells. However, prolonged sensitivity to intensive light (6–8 weeks for lung cancer), relatively low tissue penetration by activating light (630 nm up to 4 mm), and the cost of PS administration can limit progressive PDT applications. The development of quantum-dot laser diodes emitting in the highest absorption region (1268 nm) of triplet oxygen (3O2) presents the possibility of inducing apoptosis in tumour cells through direct 3O2 → 1O2 transition. Here we demonstrate that a single laser pulse triggers dose-dependent 1O2 generation in both normal keratinocytes and tumour cells and show that tumour cells yield the highest 1O2 far beyond the initial laser pulse exposure. Our modelling and experimental results support the development of direct infrared (IR) laser-induced tumour treatment as a promising approach in tumour PDT.

The Maine senator has been tight-lipped this week on the rapid developments around the Supreme Court nominee. She’ll have to decide on him today.
The FBI has delivered a confidential report on sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, which may force the undecided Maine senator to make up her mind on him by tomorrow.
Observers are finding Maine’s gubernatorial race to be a sleepy affair. That could change with four forums between Wednesday and Thursday.
Outside spending is rising in Maine races and while the legislative map is still hard to gauge, battleground districts are lighting up.
Neither U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin or Republican gubernatorial nominee Shawn Moody will be at the event, but a fundraising boost from the president’s son could still help them.
Democrats have the momentum in fundraising battles for governor and the Maine Senate, but expect a deluge of outside money to affect the Blaine House race.
Good morning from Augusta, where new sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee and confusion about the job status of the deputy attorney general got us thinking about where the president is most and least popular in Maine. We sorted the results of the 2016 presidential election between Trump, a Republican, and […]
Legislators are already jockeying for leadership positions in closely divided chambers that will rest on the outcomes of key 2018 campaigns.
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins wanted lawyers for Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who says he sexually assaulted her to be cross-examined by lawyers, but it’s unclear if the woman will testify before a Senate panel.
The candidates in Maine’s 2nd District are extending their fight on guns, while gubernatorial hopefuls are working to define themselves as Democrat interests rush into the race. | <urn:uuid:af08c453-92c3-4ef7-8684-ee8c4cd7d07c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://stateandcapitol.bdnblogs.com/tag/shawn-moody/ | 2020-09-26T15:55:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.951708 | 370 |
In the food world, they say ‘You are what you eat’
In the mind world it is similar! Feed your mind with good and interesting thoughts….
Im not a huge reader, at least I didn’t used to be. I would pick up a book on every 12th cycle of the moon and bring it on holiday and forget to unpack it, or fall asleep rapidly or lose interest.
Why I like books….
Recently, I have begun to marvel at books. Not only are they depicting a story, a narrative, speech and action. They also give you the inner mechanisms of the authors mind and thus the characters thoughts.
Films and images give a lot of information but they are focused on behaviour and what people say.
Books have something films do not, books have the subtext of what a character is thinking and for that reason it’s interesting.
Ive struggled with sub-text a lot with Bipolar; around sometimes what is not said, often jumping to conclusions in how others think. Resorting to having paranoid thoughts and assuming the worst.
Since i’ve made a habit of reading every day, i’m picking up on more and more nuisances in conversation and instead of assuming the worst, I think…., ah that’s interesting….
And it helps start a conversation when you ask ‘Why’.
Books are your friends; especially if you spend a lot of time in your own company. You are not only not lonely you are living in another world or character and seeing things through other people’s eyes.
No matter the genre you can experience other characters struggles without having to go through it yourself. This may give you perspective with your own struggles; in that you are not alone.
Someone, somewhere has had similar thoughts on topics which are similar to your own…. | <urn:uuid:77da9668-cd0c-4e21-a537-64aa8ce58997> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thebipolarworkshop.com/2020/01/06/the-wonders-of-reading/ | 2020-09-26T14:18:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.959818 | 386 |
LONDON (Reuters) – Royal Bank of Scotland’s (RBS.L) profit halved in the first quarter as it set aside 802 million pounds ($1 billion) to cover an expected spike in bad loans due to the coronavirus pandemic, the state-backed lender said on Friday.
Despite the slide in profits, the bank’s results beat analyst expectations in part thanks to a 9% rise in income from a spike in trading in volatile markets at its previously loss-making investment bank NatWest Markets.
RBS Chief Executive Alison Rose said the bank was nonetheless still committed to cutting back the division and also said it would wind down digital bank Bó after it attracted just 11,000 customers since its launch in November.
RBS shares rose 4%, outperforming the STOXX European banks index .SX7P which was down 1%.
Britain’s biggest four banks – RBS, HSBC (HSBA.L), Barclays (BARC.L) and Lloyds (LLOY.L) – have now set aside a combined 6.7 billion pounds to cover an expected rise in defaults in the fallout from the health crisis.
Banks have been asked by the British government to deliver 330 billion pounds of taxpayer-backed loans to firms during the crisis but have faced criticism for not getting cash quickly enough to struggling companies.
RBS said it had provided 1.5 billion pounds of business loans under the government-backed coronavirus relief scheme – the most of any bank – and 190,000 mortgage repayment holidays.
“We moved very quickly. What I recognised, and the team moved very fast with, is that we were not in normal circumstances and so we redeployed staff very quickly and operationalised the scheme very quickly,” Rose said.
The bank posted pretax profits of 519 million pounds for the quarter, down from 1 billion pounds the previous year.
RBS remains 62% owned by taxpayers following its 45 billion pound state bailout in the 2008 financial crisis.
RBS Chairman Howard Davies told investors on Wednesday that the lender’s sharp share price fall since the outbreak of the virus meant it was unlikely the government would sell any of its shares soon.
RBS said Bó would be scrapped as a brand and its technology merged with another of its digital brands, Mettle.
Bó was part of the bank’s strategy to compete with fast-growing startups such as Monzo and Starling but had a sluggish start and failed to impress investors.
Rose said the bank had learned lessons from the short-lived experiment.
“Bó hasn’t failed. We’ve made a decision which is a prudent decision at this point … we will apply a disciplined view in terms of our approach to innovations, testing and learning.”
Rose said all staff affected – as well as 130 employees being cut from NatWest Markets – would be paid for the next six months and the bank would not take part in the government’s furlough scheme to protect salaries. | <urn:uuid:4c97fcb3-257b-4df3-94d3-efa8e2fb7342> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thecontractorsupportnetwork.com/rbs-scraps-bo-as-profit-halved-by-802-million-coronavirus-provision/ | 2020-09-26T13:54:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.968669 | 631 |

UPDATE: Alejandro discovered that this method doesn’t work if you use Scheduled Outages as the webUI will write back the file as a single one and not preserve the ENTITY imports.
While we have made some serious strides toward making the OpenNMS configuration more modular, from my own humble contribution of include files in
eventconf.xml, to breaking up
snmp-graph.properties, we still have some way to go to finish it for the rest of the application.
However, you can leverage a shortcut built into the XML standard to help manage files that can get complex. It allows you to import XML from one file to another.
It does have a limitation. Unlike the work we did with datacollection-config, etc., where we combined different parts of a configuration (generic resources, MIB object groups and system definitions) into separate files, this will only work if you can life whole sections out into other files.
One example would be the
poller-configuration.xml file where you can remove entire sections. Here’s how you do it.
First, at the top of the file, you have to define the files you want to include:
<!DOCTYPE root [ <!ENTITY pkg_Network-Connectivity SYSTEM "./etc/poller-configuration.d/pkg_Network-Connectivity.xml" > <!ENTITY pkg_StrafePing SYSTEM "./etc/poller-configuration.d/pkg_strafePing.xml" > <!ENTITY pkg_Generic-Management SYSTEM "./etc/poller-configuration.d/pkg_Generic-Management.xml" > ]>
This will create a reference to the particular files you want to include. Then, to use them, you simply reference them at the proper place in the file:
<poller-configuration threads="900" serviceUnresponsiveEnabled="false" xmlrpc="false" pathOutageEnabled="true"> <node-outage status="on" pollAllIfNoCriticalServiceDefined="true"> <critical-service name="ICMP"/> </node-outage> <!-- Layer 3 network connectivity --> &pkg_Network-Connectivity; <!-- Layer 3 network diagnostics for jitter and latency --> &pkg_StrafePing; <!-- Monitor for management agents and remote administration --> &pkg_Generic-Management;
Note that the ENTITY definitions come before the start of the “normal” XML for the file, i.e. in front of the initial <poller-configuration> tag.
This can make the management of unwieldy files a little easier.
Again, this only works for code that you can lift out in its entirety. In the case of
poller-configuration.xml we still put the <monitor> tags down at the bottom of the main file. | <urn:uuid:83380e36-4bbb-483b-b736-00550711526b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.adventuresinoss.com/category/tips-and-tricks/ | 2020-09-26T15:46:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.814723 | 608 |

If another car hit you from behind and you suffered injuries or property damage, a rear end collision lawyer in Bucks County can help you pursue compensation. The driver in back is almost always at fault in a rear end collision. However, there are rare exceptions and loopholes the other driver and their attorney might use to try to avoid liability—or even hold you responsible for the crash. The attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC can protect your rights and make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
In addition to the damage to your vehicle and other personal property, a rear end collision can cause severe injuries, often to the cervical spine. Your medical bills could be substantial. If your injuries force you to miss work, it can compound your financial stress. An attorney from Cordisco & Saile LLC can help you get paid quickly so you can focus on recovering your health and getting your life back to normal.
The initial consultation is free. We do not get paid until we win money for you, so there is no risk in coming to talk to us and learning how we can help with your claim. Call us today at 215-642-2335 to set up your free consultation.
What Causes Rear End Vehicle Collisions?
Upon taking your case, the first thing our attorneys do is investigate the cause and circumstances of your collision. We can identify the responsible parties and determine what they did or did not do that makes them liable.
Many rear end collisions occur because other drivers engage in one of the following negligent behaviors.
Many collisions result from drivers not paying enough attention to the road. Answering a text or talking on a mobile phone while driving are common causes of these crashes.
Following too Closely
Drivers who tailgate, or do not keep a safe distance between their vehicle and the one in front of them, risk not being able to stop in time to avoid a collision. A momentary distraction, such as changing a radio station, can add to the danger of following too closely.
Driving Under the Influence
Alcohol and many drugs slow reaction time and increase the likelihood of getting into a crash. If the other driver in your accident was drunk, we can hold them responsible for their behavior.
The chance of a rear end collision increases substantially under bad weather conditions, such as rain, ice, snow, and fog. If another driver failed to drive safely to compensate for hazardous conditions, we may be able to hold them liable for the crash.
Sudden or Abrupt Lane Changes
Changing lanes abruptly and without warning, particularly if you brake suddenly afterward, can increase your chances of being rear-ended. If your sudden lane change caused your accident, you might be partially at fault under the state’s comparative negligence rule.
If a vehicle defect, such as faulty brakes or a defective tire, contributed to your collision, the manufacturer might be liable. We can pursue compensation using a product liability claim.
Our Attorneys Help You Win Compensation for Your Injuries.
After a rear end collision, it is important to seek medical attention as quickly as possible, even if you do not look or feel injured. The sooner after the crash you get examined, the easier it is to draw a conclusive link between the accident and your injuries. That makes it much the easier to win damages.
We have helped clients win damages for all of the following injuries:
- Other spinal cord injuries;
- Head injuries;
- Facial injuries from airbag deployment;
- Soft tissue injuries;
- Broken bones; and
- Cuts and bruises.
Not all serious injuries are apparent right away. Head injuries, for instance, are notorious for not showing up for days or even weeks after the accident. However, the sooner you address any potential injuries, the better your prognosis is for long-term recovery. We recommend you always get checked out right away after a car accident—even a minor one.
How Much Is My Claim Worth?
Before we investigate your accident, we cannot accurately estimate a claim value. Once we identify the responsible parties and calculate the extent of your damages, however, we will know how much your claim is worth. You could be eligible for some or all of the following damages.
We pursue the responsible parties and their insurers for your current medical costs, as well as all costs we anticipate you to incur in the future due to your accident.
Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
If you have to miss work as you recover from your injuries, we help you capture the lost income you are not able to earn. Similarly, if your capacity to work in the future suffers because of your injuries, we hold the responsible parties liable for the difference between what you are able to earn and what you should be earning.
Pain and Suffering
We fight aggressively to win you as much compensation as we are legally able to for your pain and suffering.
If we find evidence that the responsible party was not just negligent, but they behaved recklessly or maliciously in the circumstances that led to the crash, we can pursue them for punitive damages. These damages award additional compensation as a punishment to the at-fault party.

Our services Services we provide One to one support One element of our service is the one to one outreach visits we offer to children and young people who require additional therapeutic support. When working directly with children, our family workers are able to help them to express their feelings and concerns about their circumstances and help them to develop coping strategies. More often than not, children and young people elect to see a family worker whilst they are at school; offering them an opportunity to talk about what is happening in a familiar and neutral place, without the need to be concerned about the reactions of the rest of their family. Some however, feel more comfortable with their visits taking place at home. Our Therapeutic Practitioners will work with whatever best suits the individuals involved. If you are concerned about a child or young person and feel they would benefit from one to one support, please contact us. One of our team will ask for basic contact details and information about the child/children and their situation, and a professionally qualified family worker will then be in contact to discuss how best Daisy’s Dream can help. | <urn:uuid:266a946c-ef3a-4c29-b35a-0c0211f45f3b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.daisysdream.org.uk/one-to-one-support | 2020-09-26T14:08:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.97492 | 219 |
"I used this amazing product and I grew so much hair
on my head I had to get a haircut twice a week!"
We all know – or should know – that some of the product reviews that we read online are not real – they’ve been created by competitors to boost or slam a product.
A couple of marketing professors (Duncan Simester of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Eric Anderson of Northwestern University) did a study where they found that five percent of the reviews posted for products on two sites had never purchased the product.
Strangely, those reviews were "significantly more negative" than other reviews.

The First Step to Get Out of Debt
We understand that taking the first step to dealing with your debt may feel like the hardest.
However, we also know that when you take the first step of talking to a professional debt advisor, you will soon realise the options available to you.
At Don’t Fret About Debt, we’re FCA regulated and offer all statutory debt solutions in Scotland so you can be assured that we will work with you to find a solution that is right for you and your circumstances.
To encourage you to take a potential life-changing first step, we have outlined below what to expect when you submit your details to us or give us a call:
- After you’ve submitted your details or given us a call, we will discuss over the phone how much debt you have, who your creditors are and if you’ve missed any payments. If you have, this will allow us to quickly step in and safeguard you from further creditor action if court papers have been delivered by Sheriff Officers. (Not to be confused with debt collector field agents).
- Then, we’ll run through an Income & Expenditure form with you, taking into account your salary and any benefits you receive. We’ll deduct your bills, ensuring your mortgage/rent, Council Tax, utilities, TV licence, any car payment and phone bills are deducted. We will agree with you how much you need for travel, food and clothing. An allowance will be given for hobbies, TV packages and anything else you pay out on a regular basis. This will allow us to work out how much you can afford to make towards your debts.
- We will ask about any assets you own, whether you have equity in property or own a car outright.
- Once we have the above information, it’s time to decide which statutory debt solution best fits your needs. We offer all statutory debt solutions in Scotland (Debt Arrangement Schemes, Trust Deeds and Sequestration (Bankruptcy)) and only offer Government backed plans.
- Following a decision on the debt solution that works for you, we will fill in some paperwork and send it by courier for you to sign.
- A debt payment programme works when the monthly payments are affordable for you. To ensure you are able to afford the agreed contribution, we require bank statements and wage slips for the previous three months. You can send these to us via post or securely via WhatsApp – this can really speed up the process.
- Once we receive the paperwork, you make your agreed monthly payments and we do the rest. You will never have to speak to your creditors again. We will assign you a case administrator who will be your point of contact for the duration of your plan who is always on hand to help.
- After completing the steps above, you will no longer be in debt.
Putting off dealing with your debt is putting off sorting it so speak to one of our debt advisors today in strictest confidence and we will be happy to talk you through all your available options.

Detroit's blight-free vision curtailed as money dries up
Mayor Mike Duggan said the city has enough money through federal funding to run its blight removal demolition program through August.
Hopes that the city could rid itself of blight in as little as five years have faded as abundant savings from the bankruptcy reorganization did not materialize and federal funds for the job are now drying up in a tight city budget.
Mayor Mike Duggan delivered the sobering reality check on Thursday during the Detroit Regional Chamber's Detroit Policy Conference, saying the city will run out of blight removal cash by late summer. He and his aides are working on a "new strategy" in partnership with federal authorities, he said, but nothing is locked in yet.
"Right now I don't know where that money comes from after August," he told reporters during the Detroit Regional Chamber's Detroit Policy Conference. Without new blight funds, he said, "The pipeline of these demolitions is otherwise going to run dry."
The city is taking down more blighted structures than it has in years, but the cash crunch could significantly sidetrack one of the main goals of the city's reorganization less than three months out of bankruptcy.
Technically, of course, the city does have roughly $1 billion to spend each year, but other tasks, such as hiring more police officers and firefighters and getting streetlights repaired and replaced, are also vying for attention in the city's budget and perhaps crowding out blight removal efforts.
Duggan's comments reflect a much-changed perspective from a year ago when Kevyn Orr, then the city's emergency manager, offered a preliminary reorganization plan last February that envisioned spending $520.3 million over the course of six years to clean up blight within the city. That amount of money would have allowed the city to increase the rate of residential demolitions from an average of a little more than 100 per week to as many as 400 to 450 per week, a pace that would rid Detroit of 40,000 to 60,000 eyesores in no more than five years.
That agressive timetable and vision faded quickly, even during the bankruptcy process. By the time the city was emerging from bankruptcy last November, a final summary of the city's plan did not even mention blight removal specifically but talked in general terms of improving city services.
"That's was version 1," Duggan said of Orr's first and most ambitious goal. "Version 8 didn't include that. There is no money unless the City of Detroit runs surpluses. There is no money."
Detroit demolished about 3,500 derelict structures last year using federal "Hardest Hit" neighborhood funds. Craig Fahle, director of public affairs for the Detroit Land Bank Authority, the entity involved in selecting structures for demolition, said there's enough money left from the federal funds to raze about 3,300 more houses through August. Adding in some money from a few miscellaneous funds, "I wouldn't be surprised if we got to about 4,000 total" by late summer, he said.
After that, though, the city will need a new source of cash. Without a healthy city surplus, Duggan said Thursday, the city will need to continue to rely on outside funding to pay for blight demolitions.
The issue of blight removal is critical because it has emerged as a key strategy in the city's efforts to improve its image in the eyes of the world. After decades of decline, Detroit now has tens of thousands of abandoned buildings, most of which will need to come down. Even if Detroit has used federal money to demolish about 4,000 structures, at least 90% of the task lies ahead.
On the upside, even with a funding bottleneck looming, Detroit remains well ahead of the pace of blight removal compared to just a year ago. Until Duggan became mayor, Detroit was demolishing about 1,000 to 2,000 derelict structures a year. In 2014, it razed about 3,500, thanks to increased funding from the federal "Hardest Hit" fund and a dramatically ramped up effort involving the Detroit Land Bank Authority, the Detroit Building Authority, private demolition contractors, and more.
The most optimistic projections now are that the city could demolish about 200 houses a week, or around 10,000 a year, but that pace is possible only when everything lines up right, including the weather and the availability of trained crews and equipment. Generally demolitions proceed at a more modest pace, such as during the winter.
Shortages of trained workers, trucks, bulldozers, and even enough clean dirt to fill the basements left behind after a house is demolished have challenged the city's efforts over the past year.
Last summer, demolition crews planned to use dirt scoured off the I-96 reconstruction project to fill up basement holes. But road salt deposited on the freeway over the years contaminated the dirt too much to meet legal standards for residential neighborhoods. Demolition crews have had to buy sand and other fill from quarries at increased cost and inconvenience.
Even something as simple as putting up fences around demolition sites can present challenges. One contractor complained last year that Detroit's notorious scrappers were stealing the metal stakes used to hold up the fences around work sites, slowing progress.
Duggan said later Thursday that while early versions of Detroit's bankruptcy plan of adjustment included specific funding for home demolition, those numbers were dropped in later amendments, and the final version relied on the city running surpluses of $30 million to $40 million a year to pay for blight removal.
He said there's no specific funding from the city budget in the early years for home demolition, which is why he's worked closely with the Obama administration to find additional federal money.
"We are working at this every day, but it's always going to be hard," Duggan said, given tight city budgets for the foreseeable future.
He said the city will continue to tear down 100-200 houses a week through August, and he's not fretting about what might happen if additional money doesn't come through.
"We're not focused on that right now," he said. "And if we don't get more, we will make the appropriate decisions."
By August, the city is expected to have torn down about 8,000 houses, still a fraction of the number that will have to be removed. Duggan said he expects the city will ultimately need to spend another $400 million and about the same amount on blighted commercial and industrial properties. The city's bankruptcy plan never set aside money for demolition of non-residential buildings.
Duggan said the situation with funding for blight removal isn't likely to impact spending on other reinvestment initiatives in the bankruptcy plan, including upgraded citywide computers and information technology. Each of those investments is tied to expected revenue generated from improvements the investments will bring about, including cheaper operating costs and other efficiencies.
On Thursday, Duggan also responded to remarks this week by businessman Bill Pulte whose so-called Detroit Blight Authority has been demolishing houses in Pontiac. Pulte had demolished some houses and cleared vacant lots in Detroit last year before Duggan's administration asked him to stop.
Duggan told reporters Thursday that Pulte was demolishing a mere handful of houses a week in Detroit, far fewer than is needed and fewer than Duggan's own efforts have accomplished. And Duggan has said in the past it is important to coordinate all blight efforts under a central authority rather than having free-lance operators doing their own thing.
Pulte brought his blight removal activites to Pontiac, which has embraced him. He told the Free Press on Wednesday that he would return to Detroit, if invited back by Duggan. Pulte said he harbored "no ill will at all" toward Duggan.
"I wish him continued success on their blight program, (but) once he got into office he wanted control over it, and I understand that."

The roots of this ministry began with one woman's passion to teach God's Word and and a tender heart for those widows and single mothers without hope. Martha Thompson, a alumni board member, while on a mission trip to Africa, that this ministry was born. It grew from a backyard bible study to a missionary group of women who make purses and jewelry to support one another. Today it is a full fledged school where teaching the bible is a priority along with tailoring and cosmetology. The ladies pay little to no tuition and receive a bible, fabric and regular access to a sewing machine (Tailoring). They then are able to support themselves and their children. God continues to bless this ministry. The school now has 15 sewing machines available. Martha remains a faithful partner in this ministry. If you are interested in participating with this vital ministry please contact us or donate with designation from this site. | <urn:uuid:aa606d7a-6879-4c61-985e-737c4fd2de03> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.godsredeemingloveintl.org/womens-occupational-ministry.html | 2020-09-26T15:59:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.955633 | 183 |

Pills should not be embraced – they are to be feared. Instead, look at it another way. Your penis is not a muscle which you can mould. Oftentimes, men really do damage to their dicks by forcing pills and other standard supplements inside.

pills is similar to investing in fools gold.
Exercises are not the answer to getting a bigger penis because the
I am not going to lie to you: Penis Enlargement Remedy is not for everybody. For example:
The ability of stem cells? That there are particular techniques to tweak your
biochemistry so that your penis develops? That means that you can increase
your penis by 2-4 inches so you become the man who makes girls think,’I want to sleep with YOU!’
I have taught this System to countless men over the years, and it really works.

The Lyft Grocery Access Program offers families discounted rides to grocery stores and launched in a pilot last winter in Washington, D.C., in the United States.
As of today, the program has expanded nationwide in the U.S. but also has plans to expand in Canada, with a debut in Ottawa and Toronto, later this year, according to the company in an email to iPhone in Canada. The program offers subsidized rides to families to allow them access to grocery stores with fresh fruit, vegetables and other wholesome foods.
The full list of new U.S. cities part of this program are below:
The pilot program in Washington, DC, offered 500 families during a 6-month pilot program a $2.50 US flat fare for rides to and from grocery stores in select areas.

We might not have the Supertrams, we might not have the Underground - but we do have a gigantic train station.
Leeds Train Station sprawls out over 17 platforms, transporting people to London, Edinburgh, Manchester, York and a host of brilliant destinations - but for many of us it's the hub for our daily commute.
Whether you live in Leeds and have a thankfully short journey into the city centre, or live further afield and travel in for work, Leeds Train Station is part of your slog.
You'll have nipped to Sainsburys for milk on the way home. Used the toilets in Wetherspoons (before the station ones were made free to use). Gazed up at the huge departures board before joining the shuffling hoards to your platform.
Train life can be hard. But we're all in this together - take comfort in these 14 things we all know to be true.
It's somehow always colder on the platform
At this time of year especially this becomes an ordeal - you've already braved the cold walk to the train station, wearing 18 layers and a massive scarf, you get past the ticket barrier and boom, suddenly it feels even colder. How? Why? It's a cruel trick of physics and we hate it.
Charity chuggers appear at the worst time
I appreciate they're doing a good thing. I like to support charities. But I'd hazard a guess that the main walkway out of the station, where people are either heading out to wherever they're going or rushing to catch a train, is not the place to ask someone to sign a form and give over their bank account details for a direct debit. If you're between me and platform 4, you're in the way.
But the people giving out freebies are ace
What does work rather nicely is when a kind volunteer gives you a free can of Monster/tote bag/ food sample/other treat as you walk past their big promotional stand. Yes I will take more than one, thank you kind PR-stunt employee! You can stay, freebies people.
Sainsburys and Boots are actual lifesavers
I think I actually buy more emergency toiletries and cosmetics from that dinky train station branch than any other Boots. Pop in, grab mascara, flash Advantage card, catch train. Magic. And while a weekly shop and Sainsbury's makes my purse shrivel in horror, it's provided many a pint of milk, loaf of bread or cheeky bottle of wine on the way home.
We're all jealous of the Starbucks mobile order-ers
It's Monday morning, you're tired, in need of caffiene and decide to treat yourself to a nice coffee from Starbucks. Then you see the queue. I'll hand it to them, the staff are speedy. But then you realise people have been mobile ordering and meeting their coffees at the pick-up area with no wait at all. You realise you've been outdone. I overheard one girl say she hits 'order' just as her train pulls in and it's ready as she strolls into Starbucks. BRB, off to download the app. I WILL BE ONE OF THEM.
Wetherspoons is the hub
From the early breakfasters to the late night burger-munchers, the football fans to the hen and stag dos that seem to completely take over on a weekend, Wetherspoons always seems to hoover people up around the station. Even though you're literally a stroll away from some brilliant pubs and bars. It's like a magnet. On a sunny day that beer garden is like a low-budget Club Tropicana. People even watched the World Cup in there, in silence (the TVs were muted). What magic is this?
Humans > ticket machines
The ticket machines are flashing bright, ready for you to hammer in your booking reference or try and find York Station, with no queues... but there's a patient line of people who have sacked off their technological overlords and decided that no, I want to speak with an actual human. Sure, some season tickets require a visit to the desk to shout into the little microphones, but there's always people buying return tickets to Bradford, Wakefield and beyond too.
The Uber Olympics are a thing
If you've ever ordered an Uber from the back of the station on a Sunday afternoon you'll know the almost athletic skills needed to sucessfully locate and then pursue your ride home. Every passenger ever has ordered a taxi. Everyone's pacing in the semi-circle outside Spoons and the back entrance, watching the car approach on their apps. Will the driver find a spot in the drop-off zone? Or will you suddenly have to run over to the short stay car park, hurdling wheelie cases as you go? It's tense.
Platform TBC is the worst thing ever
It's always the London ones, isn't it? You get there on time, tickets in hand, dragging your bag or weekend case, and then there it is. No number, just a TBC. To be confirmed. Then the whispers start among your fellow directionless passengers. 'It will be eight.' 'No, last week it was 16.' Then a train pulls in and someone confidentally strides towards it. Do we follow? Is he the oracle or is he just throwing commuter caution to the wind? And then...
Then everyone running for the platform is the second worst thing ever
...the platform is announced and everyone runs (even those with seat reservations) to scramble on board. Like there's a 10-second window to get on before the doors snap shut like Venus Fly Traps. Chill, people.
The Northern struggle is real
Are you even a Leeds train commuter if you've not cursed Northern or rolled your eyes and sighed loudly as two measly carriages rumble in during the evening rush hour? I was once on a train so tightly packed about five people were crammed into the loo. What is nice is the Blitz spirit Northern's delays and cancellations seem to have inspired in Leeds commuters. We pull people on board as the doors clothes like we're the last lifeboat off the Titanic, it's inspiring.
We can't wait for the transparent roof
Let there be light! The new roof design looks blimmin' ace, won't it be a transformation? Even when it inevitably chucks it down it will look cool.
Even if we moan about scaffolding
Look, we can be excited about a change but moan about the disruption, OK? It's the Loiner way. So if we whinge about scaffolding in the train station, it doesn't mean we're not happy about the upgrade.
1am McDonalds FTW
There's only one McDonald's in Leeds with a five-star rating - and it's the train station one. Yes, that mecca of a quick Big Mac before the last train, an Egg McMuffin on the way to work or a Happy Meal to keep kids quiet on the train is the most highly-rated. We even tested it out to make sure. And let's be honest, when you're a bit tipsy and preparing for the Uber Olympics, their chips save you. Well done train station McDonalds. We don't even care that you have no windows.

It is not every day that a busy Real Estate Agent comes to Mazenod College. In recent weeks, our Year 11 Commerce students were privileged to hear our Old Boy Lucas Gentile (2017), address them about the local property market in Glen Waverley and its environs.
Lucas works for “Harcourts” Real Estate in Glen Waverley and was able to provide our students with excellent, first-hand information about the realities of the local property market in today’s world. Lucas’ presentation was engaging and insightful, and his passion for his work was infectious. It was a sheer delight for me to sit at the back of the class and listen to him. In addition, Lucas allowed our students to ask him questions concerning real estate in general; employment, and life beyond Year 12.Back to MOCA News | <urn:uuid:2bde6f58-d257-4ce8-93da-71e29de803b3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mazenod.vic.edu.au/a-welcoming-community-at-mazenod-college/mazenod-old-collegians-association/moca-news/lucas-gentile/ | 2020-09-26T15:44:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.972891 | 182 |
Thesis title: "Influence of internal genome pressure for viral particle infectivity and stability"
Defense date: April 2015
Genome packaging during virus replication is an ATP-dependent process, resulting in a thermodynamically unstable state of packaged viral DNA. This energetically unfavorable confinement of the microns-long DNA molecule creates a large internal pressure inside the virus. The effects of tight genome confinement has previously been studied for multiple bacterial viruses. Recently, using a novel experimental assay, we have provided the first measurement of this DNA pressure within a eukaryotic herpesvirus, HSV-1. Dave's project focused on calorimetric investigations of internal pressure for specific viral systems, as well as comparative studies between evolutionarily diverse viruses. This experimental approach can uncover general physical properties of viruses that regulate viral infectivity.

In this lesson, you’ll learn new phrasal verbs, idioms and English expressions using the verb WRAP! 🎁
These types of words can be difficult to learn because they are often idiomatic (which means that the literal meaning of the individual words is not the same as the meaning of the expression as a whole).
That's why I like to focus on one main word (WRAP) and explore some commonly used expressions that use it!
CLICK HERE to read the full lesson transcript.
More English lessons recommended for you:
Hello! I'm Emma from mmmEnglish! Since it's very close to Christmas and I'm wrapping Since it's very close to Christmas and I'm wrapping this lesson is going to be full of expressions using the word, ‘wrap'.
Now some of these expressions will be phrasal verbs like ‘wrap up'. Others will be idioms like let's keep this ‘under wraps'.
One thing that they all have in common is that you'll hear them come up in conversation all the time!
So, this word has a cheeky silent letter in it. So if you find it difficult to pronounce, it might be because you're making a sound where there doesn't need to be one.
‘Wrap‘ and ‘rap' are pronounced in exactly the same way. The W is silent. Because the ‘rrrrrrrr’ sound is at the start of the word, it's strong. To make that sound my tongue is pulling back in my mouth and up a little bit in the middle. The tip of my tongue is not touching anything and both sides of my tongue are softly pushing against my upper teeth.
Now the past tense of wrap is wrapped and it's a regular past tense verb so we simply add -ed but the pronunciation of that -ed is more like a /t/ sound. Wrapped. Not rapid. That's a completely different word. It's an adjective that means fast or sudden.
Wrapped is also an adjective to describe when something is covered. This present is wrapped. These ones are not.
Here in Australia we also use wrapped to describe a person's feelings when they're extremely excited or happy about something. It's quite informal, it's a slang word but very useful if you're speaking with Australians. It's usually spelled r-a-p-t.
He'll be rapt to hear the news.
My mum was rapt to hear that I'll be in Melbourne for Christmas.
Now there's a very common phrasal verb that you've probably heard or seen before.
‘Wrap up‘. Now firstly, this phrasal verb ‘wrap up' has the same meaning as ‘wrap', the verb which means to cover something usually with paper or with a thin material.
I need to wrap these presents.
Or I need to wrap up these presents.
You can use either. They have the same meaning.
Can you wrap up this cheese and put it in the fridge for me?
Wrap (someone) up
You can also wrap someone up in clothes or blankets usually to protect them like a baby or a child.
It's cold outside. Keep him wrapped up nice and tight.
In all of these examples the phrasal verb is transitive. We need to explain what we're wrapping up.
But ‘wrap up' has another meaning. To ‘wrap something up‘ also means to end it or to finish it.
We'd better wrap this up. It looks like it's about to rain.
I'm so glad we've wrapped up our assignment. Now we can just enjoy the weekend!

Okay here's another phrasal verb ‘wrap around‘ or ‘wrap round‘. And the meaning is quite literal it means to put something around something else. You do need to notice that when using this phrasal verb you need to be clear what is being wrapped around what.

The Marine Plaza scheme, opposite the iconic Kursaal, promises 282 new homes (including 84 affordable homes), 318 parking spaces (including 28 disabled spaces), landscaped public spaces and 2,717 sq m of commercial space that could house restaurants, bars, shops or entertainment facilities.
The development has already been recommended for approval by council officers, but was deferred in March amid farcical scenes when a member of the Development Control Committee arrived late and was barred from voting. The councillor’s deciding vote in support of Marine Plaza would have approved the project.
Mark Farrier of Goldfield Developments Ltd told Southend Rising: “Over the past three months we have worked closely with officers at Southend Council to address the points made by councillors in March. We have increased the number of parking spaces in our development and funded a number of parking surveys to ensure there is up-to-date understanding of parking in the town.
“The council is in the process of reviewing the surveys. The early results support previous parking surveys and show most town centre car parks can accommodate more cars at peak times. Council officers take this evidence into account when making a recommendation about our plans. With this in mind, we believe there is even more reason to approve our plans.”
“Southend has a bright future and we want to be a part of it. Our plans are ambitious and demonstrate our confidence in the town. I hope councillors can see the hard work we have put in over the past months and approve the proposals at committee.”
The plans have received strong support from local businesses. Supporters include the Southend Business Partnership, the Southend Business Improvement District as well as local residents.
Ellie Zinonos, a Southend resident and owner of local entertainment venue, Room 24, said: “The seafront has been crying out for investment for years. You only have to take one look at the Kursaal end of Marine Parade to see how tired it looks. Marine Plaza is exactly what Southend needs to allow it to compete for trade with other seaside destinations. I believe that Cllr Woodley, Leader of the Council, was right when he said that Southend is ‘open for business.
“I really hope councillors approve this application and my friends and I will be there on 3rd June to cheer on the plans.”
Southend Rising also supports the plans, which will bring a huge amount of private investment into a part of Southend crying out for improvement.

In the early nineties casino strikes began to help appear. These are definitely coins, or maybe more properly, tokens, that will were intended to end up being collected. Nevertheless , they were redeemable for their facial area value. Currently, there happen to be not any longer readily available at many, if definitely not all, casinos, due to the embrace the price of metallic. The most common denomination, the ten dollar punch, regularly contained about six-tenths of a Troy ounces connected with fine silver.
All these were being usually limited version strikes that will had metallic as the key steel. In fact, many furthermore carry a mint symbol, together with have the casino’s brand plus an associated photo for the obverse, and an inventive image on this reverse.
The most common denominations consist of the seven dollars, typically the ten dollar, often the 20 or so dollar, the twenty-eight dollar, the forty dollar, the particular one hundred buck, as well as two hundred dollar face values.
Typically the ten money casino strikes normally include a large brass edge. monkeyking.club/918kiss/ has no metal edge, and contains additional fine sterling silver. In reality, the increased this denomination, the more fine metallic the online casino strike contains. The twenty-eight dollar denomination generally begins the styles that contained a full measurement electroplating of 24 karat gold used in order to emphasize the. Beginning with the forty money troubles, the rim was also full gauge electroplated gold. Intended for completeness it should become noted that a very few twenty-five dollar casino attacks were issued.
Occasionally, some large casinos would add more colorization to the 40 buck strikes. These usually are especially collectible.
A comparable token, the particular bingo symbol, exists in the twenty-five money denomination regarding a number of gambling dens. These have simply no casing.
Larger casino punches, when redeemed, were sometimes terminated. Some had a gap punched through them all, others had small indentations where the metal was gouged out by the gambling establishment. Terminated casino strikes happen to be less attracting collectors.
Various of the Large Internet casinos issued man?uvres plated along with gold internet casino hit pieces of four themed gambling establishment strikes, typically as presents to better customers. These types of were typically five dollar strikes, nonetheless are certainly not considered very desired, perhaps when still in often the initial interesting display scenario.

When casinos cannot offer you all these today, they usually are still remarkably collected. Around simple fact, those people from internet casinos that have ceased procedures seem to go on some sort of high price in comparison to some others.
Some people collect by internet casino, although others collect by simply concept. The themes fluctuate drastically. Trains, automobiles, celebs, and even old west are usually yet a good few examples of designs frequently used. | <urn:uuid:773fb7bf-7870-40f0-8289-45836c28c1e7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thekeithclan.com/silver-precious-metal-online-casino-hits-are-vintage-simply-by-or-maybe-debt-collectors-and-even-different/ | 2020-09-26T15:10:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.961895 | 684 |

DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- An Iowa man was denied his $100,000 lottery winnings after it was discovered he was too young to buy a ticket.
Jobie Boals-Watters, 20, now faces underage gambling charges after attempting to cash in on a lottery ticket that he purchased illegally at a Super Quick Foods store in Des Moines.
Boals-Watters was set to receive a prize totaling up to $70,000 after taxes from Iowa's Mega Crossword instant scratch game as he claimed a co-worker purchased his ticket, which is permitted under Iowa law.
"The information that he presented seemed on the up and up," Iowa Lottery spokesperson Mary Neubauer told KCCI. "He said that a co-worker bought the ticket and gave it to him."
After receiving an anonymous tip, an Iowa Lottery investigation discovered no evidence of office lottery pools at Boals-Watters' place of work and found that he had purchased the ticket himself.
"Lottery security investigated it. Obviously we pulled the security camera footage from the store that was involved and we determined that, in fact, he was the one who purchased the ticket, which made the whole prize invalid," said Neibauer.
In addition to seeking return of the $70,000 prize, the store that sold Boals-Watters the ticket is facing suspension due to Iowa Lottery regulations for failing to check his ID.
"Under the lottery's administrative rules, a store's license to sell lottery products will be suspended for one week for a first time violation of an an underage sale," Neubaur told Radio Iowa.
A hearing for Boals-Watters is scheduled in Polk County District Court on Jan. 13. | <urn:uuid:363a7d70-73ed-4a4c-88af-8df7e4a28ec2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2015/12/23/Iowa-lottery-winner-denied-100000-prize-for-being-underage/9991450901313/ | 2020-09-26T15:48:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244231.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926134026-20200926164026-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.983258 | 364 |

Burmese doctors dish sushi at a restaurant, a Jordanian computer engineer drives for Uber, and a Nepali non-profit program officer stocks shelves at a Walmart. Nearly 2 million college-educated immigrants labor in jobs for which they are overqualified, or cannot find work at all.
The “brain waste” phenomenon is costing California and other states billions of dollars per year in lost individual earnings and tax revenues, according to estimates by the Migration Policy Institute. The problem is worsening as, among immigrants continuing to arrive in the United States, there’s a greater proportion of college-educated individuals, experts warn.
New immigrants face barriers to obtaining high-skilled jobs that may take years to overcome, including the lack of U.S. professional work experience and technical English fluency. The process for getting foreign credentials recognized in this country can be long, complicated and expensive, especially in highly regulated fields like health care.
Wilmer Garcia Ricardo, a physician in Cuba and Venezuela for seven years, was admitted to the U.S. in 2012 through a now-defunct government humanitarian parole program for Cuban medical professionals. But once he resettled in Louisville, Ky., Garcia Ricardo was left on his own to figure out how to work again as a doctor in America.
“It has been years of study and sacrifice,” said Garcia Ricardo, now 38 years old.
He took classes to improve his English. He bought books online and looked into blogs and forums about other immigrant physicians going through the rigorous U.S. medical licensing process. Meanwhile, he got a job as a patient care aide at a nursing home to pay his bills.
“That was like, being a doctor in January 2012, and then, three months after, going to the bottom of the healthcare system in America,” said Garcia Ricardo. “It was frustrating.”
Professional demotion is typical among the recent immigrants, including refugees, asylees and other humanitarian migrants who get help adjusting to life in America through the International Rescue Committee, said Kevin Davis, career development coordinator at the resettlement agency’s offices in San Jose.
IRC’s program focuses on helping humanitarian migrants rebuild or start careers in the U.S. through training, coaching and scholarships.
While many of these immigrants come with limited English or professional work experience, Davis estimates about half of the 200 clients in his program per year are highly skilled or college educated.
Regardless of their talents and expertise, nearly all of them get what Davis calls “survival jobs” in retail, hospitality, security and other industries during their first months in the U.S.
“The survival job is like a stepping stone,” he said. “And once they can pay their immediate bills, then we will work with them to sort of say, ‘All right, well, what comes next?’”
In California, about 450,000 immigrants with at least a bachelor’s degree are underemployed, meaning they have low-skilled jobs , or they can’t find work at all, according to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute. About 25 percent of highly skilled immigrants are overqualified for their jobs in the state compared to 19 percent for the U.S. born workers.
The cost to California, the state with the largest immigrant population, is significant: about $9.4 billion in lost annual earnings that result in nearly $700 million foregone state and local taxes, said Jeanne Batalova, a senior policy analyst at the institute and co-author of the report.
Compared to the U.S., countries like Canada and Australia have invested more resources to help immigrants understand and navigate licensing and other requirements to make their way into professional occupations, she said.
“The United States has a fairly laissez faire approach to helping immigrants integrate into the labor market. And really the approach is sink or swim,” said Batalova. “Unfortunately, at the national level, there hasn’t really been a strategy developed to deal with what we call ‘brain waste.’”
The issue has become more pronounced as the U.S. economy increasingly depends on highly skilled workers. Moreover, in recent years, a larger proportion of immigrants — about 48 percent — arrive in the U.S. with at least a bachelor’s degree, said Batalova.
“That can become an important talent pool, if their skills are put to good use,” she said.
On the other hand, employers often don’t know how to interpret and determine the value of an applicant’s credentials from foreign universities, said Jina Krause-Vilmar, CEO at Upwardly Global, a non-profit founded in San Francisco that helps place high-skilled immigrants and refugees in professional careers in the U.S.
“How do you value somebody from the University of Baghdad versus somebody from UCLA?” said Krause-Vilmar, whose organization frequently works with employers. “Part of it is building that awareness amongst employers so that they can effectively understand what this untapped talent pool offers.”
One Doctor’s Story
Garcia Ricardo, who trained as a family medicine practitioner in Cuba, knew of the need for more physicians in the U.S. In the next decade, California will face a shortfall of 4,100 primary care clinicians, which is already affecting rural and low-income urban areas, according to the California Future Health Workforce Commission.
The Cuban immigrant said he spent six years and more than $10,000 to eventually pass the U.S. medical licensing exams and apply for residency programs, which he needs to be licensed as a doctor in any state. He drove Uber and Lyft on the side to make ends meet, he said.
“I applied to 166 programs, and I received one interview invitation,” said Garcia Ricardo. “And at the end of a process, all that money was lost. I was not granted a position.”
He figures a big reason was that, unlike domestic medical graduates, he didn’t have any “hands-on medical experience” in this country.
“All my experience as a doctor was from Cuba and Venezuela, and all my work experience in the U.S. was as a patient assistant,” said Garcia Ricardo, with a shrug.
But he didn’t give up.
It was a unique program in California, the UCLA International Medical Graduate Program, that finally gave him the qualifications and training to better compete for coveted residency spots in family medicine.
Applying to residency programs is an extremely competitive process, and those positions are very limited, especially in rural and low-income communities, said Dr. Michelle Bholat, an associate professor at the UCLA Department of Family Medicine and co-director of the IMG program.
“If I had a magic wand, I would say ‘Let us get some additional residency positions available in our most underserved areas in California,” said Bholat.
Thanks to a state law approved in 2012, Spanish-speaking physicians in the IMG program can work under supervision with patients at a Los Angeles family clinic and hospital, so they learn the U.S. healthcare system and gain valuable work experience.
Although there are hundreds of applicants to the program each year, only about 15 physicians are admitted, said Bholat.
In exchange for the training, the doctors commit to working at least two years in underserved medical communities once they are licensed. Since 2006, 140 doctors have graduated from the IMG program.
Bholat has high hopes for one of this year’s graduates, Garcia Ricardo. Now, he is a medical resident at San Joaquin General Hospital, south of Stockton. Most patients at the county hospital qualify for Medi-Cal, and about 40 percent speak Spanish, according to doctors.
“He’s going to be a role model for that Latino community to know that ‘You know what? I have a doctor that understands me. I have a doctor who’s going to be there for my family,”’ said Bholat.
Garcia Ricardo compared the years he struggled in America to regain his profession to feeling like a fish out of water, gasping for air and flopping around.
“And then you put the fish back in the water? That’s the same feeling I had when I had a white coat back on,” said Garcia Ricardo, and smiled.
Dr. Elyas Parsa, who oversees San Joaquin General Hospital’s family residency program, said it’s “invaluable” to have a physician like Garcia Ricardo who culturally understands patients and speaks their language. Immigrant physicians are also passionate about working with underserved communities, said Parsa.
“What we have seen, at least in our program, is that the residents that are from those backgrounds tend to want to stay in that community and serve those patients long term,” said Parsa, himself a political refugee from Iran.
Rules Vary State By State
While the federal government oversees immigration, state governments regulate the practice of occupations. Those requirements often vary across state lines and can be cumbersome to navigate.
Some states like Utah and South Dakota have modified certain licensing requirements to make it easier for internationally trained professionals to re-enter fields such as occupational therapy or dentistry, according to a report by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
In recent years, U.S. Department of Labor has provided grants for states to study how to streamline occupational licensing rules, in part to make it easier for people to be recertified after they move to another state.
The federal government could also provide additional financial support to organizations that help internationally educated professionals integrate into the U.S. workforce, said Batalova of the Migration Policy Institute.
Refugees, asylees and other immigrants can access limited federal and local financial support while they look for work. But there’s a lot of pressure to earn income as soon as possible, especially in high-cost regions like the Bay Area. Davis at the IRC said his program often coaches immigrants to take gradual steps into careers in healthcare and other industries desperate for workers.
Eden Asfaha, 38, followed that trajectory.
Starting a New Path
Asfaha was a secretary for a European Union diplomatic office in her native Eritrea, and worked in community development for European-based non-profits.
After winning asylum in the U.S. in 2014, she attended an IRC job fair to land her first American job as a cashier and hostess at a San Jose restaurant. That allowed her to enroll in classes at De Anza Community College in Cupertino to become a phlebotomy technician.
“I decided to switch to something that’s practical that I can find a job in the laboratory,” said Asfaha, an evangelical Christian who fled Eritrea to escape religious persecution.
She eventually plans to go back to school to train as a medical lab technician, she said.
“When I came here, I knew I would be starting from scratch. I knew it was going to be a hard road ahead,” said Asfaha. “I just have to take the steps I need to get in there.”
Summary: As a greater proportion of college-educated immigrants flock to California, they face barriers to the getting good jobs — a “brain waste” estimated to cost California and other states billions of dollars per year in lost individual earnings and tax revenues.

RAGE is Latest Venue to Fall Victim to the Pandemic
WEST HOLLYWOOD (L.A. Magazine) — Rage nightclub has been a destination for LGBTQ+ nightlife in the bustling Santa Monica Boulevard corridor of West Hollywood for decades. Now, nearly 40 years after first opening its doors, the club has announced it has permanently closed, yet another local business to collapse amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rage nightclub management lays some portion of the blame on their landlord, Monte Overstreet. The club’s now-former general manager, Ron Madrill, told Q Voice News that rent for the location was already “very high” prior to operations shutting down in March. He says he believes an impasse over rent payments may have contributed to Rage’s closure.
Overstreet also reportedly owns the space formerly occupied by neighboring bar Flaming Saddles Saloon, which also announced […]
21 Workers Test Positive for Coronavirus at Rock n Roll Ralphs
HOLLYWOOD (KTLA) — Workers rallied Friday outside a Ralphs store in Hollywood where 21 people have tested positive for the coronavirus.
The group called on the store to take more aggressive action when staff test positive for the virus, and to ramp up efforts to protect the grocery store employees, who are considered essential workers on the front lines of the pandemic.
They said they speak for thousands of workers who are afraid they aren’t getting enough protection as the virus continues to spread countywide, infecting more than 24,000 as of Friday.
The Ralphs at 7257 W. Sunset Blvd. has had an outbreak involving several workers who tested positive for the virus, according to the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, which lists businesses and […]
‘Stay Put, Order In’ and Dine With Friends on Zoom, Says Mayor
WEST HOLLYWOOD — WeHo is home to some of the best restaurants in the world and our community members are used to gathering around restaurant tables and enjoying meals together. Now, there’s an opportunity to, instead, gather around kitchen tables at home and enjoy a meal (or many!) while supporting our local restaurants.
“One of the worst things about the Safer At Home directive is being disconnected from friends, neighbors, and the city around us,” said City of West Hollywood Mayor John D’Amico. “Don’t be alone if you don’t have to be – take advantage of the technology out there and invite a friend to Zoom in for Ziti or share some Farfalle over FaceTime.”
Mealtime is a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends, family, and loved ones using virtual teleconferencing technology, while partaking in your favorite delivered or takeout food.
Many West Hollywood restaurants remain open and are offering takeout, curbside, and delivery meals, which are sensitive to social distancing during the emergency. The City of West Hollywood and the West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to offer a directory of “Stay Put, Order In” eateries in West Hollywood, which is accessible by visitingwww.weho.org/coronavirus (click the “Stay Put, Order In” link!) or www.wehochamber.com/dinein. This list is updated daily.
“We need to start hanging out together, and talking, and seeing each other again. So, why not plan to #WeHoDinnerConnect this week – maybe Saturday at 8 p.m.? Or Sunday at 7 p.m.? Or even just 15 minutes of screen-to-screen gossip,” said Mayor D’Amico. “And you don’t have to cook a thing… local restaurants have meals and menus tailored to take-away choices and they’re ready to send food over to your house or make arrangements for you to pick it up.”
If picking up food, remember to wear face coverings, which are required to enter essential businesses.

WASHINGTON – A House panel on Wednesday moved to cut the foreign aid budget by some 9 percent, targeting economic aid and contributions to the United Nations and the World Bank.
Despite the cuts, the legislation won bipartisan backing from the Appropriations foreign aid panel, though it's sure to draw a White House veto threat because it's in line with a broader GOP spending plan that breaks faith with last summer's budget and debt pact with President Barack Obama.
The panel maintains aid to Israel and Egypt at the administration's requests but denies $800 million that was requested for a special fund for training and equipping Pakistan's military in counterinsurgency tactics. The move appears to reflect wariness on the part of lawmakers toward the government of Pakistan, which failed to find Osama bin Laden for years until the U.S. military killed him a year ago.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., accused Pakistan of "harboring a fugitive" and likened the U.S.-Pakistan relationship to a "bad marriage."
Given the animosity toward Pakistan, the $800 million request for counterinsurgency efforts was an easy target, though the measure would permit transfers from other accounts to make up for some or all of the shortfall.
"It is a difficult relationship," said Rep. Kay Granger, the foreign aid measure's lead author.
The measure would also boost funding to help Mexico and Colombia fight drug cartels. But lawmakers denied the administration's request for $770 million to support political and economic reforms in the Middle East and North Africa in the wake of last year's Arab Spring anti-government uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere.
The $48 billion measure won voice vote approval by the panel, including the committee's senior Democratic member, Rep. Norm Dicks of Washington, who's supporting an early set of spending bills despite a blanket veto threat from the White House. The administration's threat comes in response to a move orchestrated by GOP leaders like Speaker John Boehner of Ohio to cut $19 billion from the $1 trillion-plus set aside for agency budgets.
A separate panel approved a measure cutting the Department of Homeland Security's budget by about 1 percent, with the Transportation Security Administration absorbing the biggest cuts. Agencies like the Customs Service and the Coast Guard won increases over Obama's requests, and the panel included $6 billion for the government's main fund for disaster relief. Grants to state and local governments for first responders would be increased by $416 million over current levels.
Meanwhile, the full House continued debating a $51 billion measure setting the operating budget for the Commerce and Justice departments. A late night was expected as conservatives peppered the measure with conservative policy prescriptions such as blocking the Justice Department from enforcing Obama's 2010 health care law.
In rapid succession Wednesday evening, Republicans also muscled through on near party-line votes provisions designed to prevent the Justice Department from taking legal action against state laws requiring voter identification and stop the Census Bureau from conducting detailed, long-form surveys that many lawmakers find to be unnecessarily intrusive.
Republicans were successful Tuesday night in a 238-173 vote to block the Justice Department from participating in lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of new tough state immigration laws, including those of Arizona and Alabama.
The measure is the first of 12 annual appropriations bills to hit the House floor as GOP leaders have front-loaded the process with measures that have won bipartisan backing in the Appropriations panel. It's unclear how much support the measures will get from the broader Democratic membership. | <urn:uuid:3a67bdf5-13e9-4a23-aa27-22a72ddaacca> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://hollistercanada.com/us/panel-cuts-foreign-aid-military-aid-to-pakistan | 2020-09-27T22:17:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401582033.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927215009-20200928005009-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.955726 | 706 |
