Motherhood is great. I love it. But sometimes it can get to be a little bit too much, right? No matter how much you do, there’s always more to do. It can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed out. It’s ok to admit it, I’m not judging.
What if I told you that I could give you more energy, alleviate stress and pain, and even help clear the mental fog (aka Mommy Brain)?
And that’s just for starters! How about more flexibility, less anxiety, and even deeper sleep? Whaaat? Yup. Still, the tip of the iceberg…
A Mother’s Touch Massage Therapy is here to help you do all this and more.
This isn’t just any old massage. This is a massage that helps you get the pampering you so want and the actual therapy you need to fix the issues in your tissues. Because let’s be honest, we’re moms and we don’t have time to waste.
Here’s what you can expect from your Massage Therapy Session:
- A warm, and friendly Massage Therapist (*ahem* that would be me) who understands your needs and will
listenand address your concerns.
- A calm, cozy, and inviting environment complete with ambient music and lighting
- A comfortable, heated Massage Table with an uber soft Boiance face cradle (
Seriously.This thing has 6 aqua spheres surrounded by memory foam!), and luxurious linens.
- Deliciously steamy towels to help melt away that stubborn muscle tension
- And of course, a completely customizable Massage Therapy session. You can choose from 30-120 minutes of hands-on time. You can choose a purely relaxing light Swedish Massage, a Deep Tissue Massage, or my specialty: something in between!
I will personally show you how to get the most out of each
Everyone is different. Your session and game plan should be just as unique as you are. I will make sure you know how to maintain your results with a comprehensive assessment, self-care tips, and personalized recommendations for future visits.
If you don’t take care of yourself now, you’ll just put yourself on the bottom of your neverending to-do list…and that’s how you got here in the first place.
Let’s be honest, here. From a very young age, we as women learn that above all else, our family always comes first. Even if it means that you remain depleted in every sense of the word. The problem with that is that if you never take care of yourself, you will fall apart. And then who is going to take care of them? Let me be clear. Taking care of yourself is not selfish. It’s necessary! You deserve and need to be on that priority list, too. So, do everyone a favor, and book now, k? | <urn:uuid:0a40815d-93a0-427d-b904-90e37a68b200> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://amotherstouchmassage.com/services/ | 2020-09-22T16:19:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.924838 | 626 |

David complains to God, ver. 1, 2.

2: How long - Shall I be in such perplexities, not knowing what

3: Lighten - Revive and comfort, and deliver me from the darkness
of death, which is ready to come upon me.

Talks between Irish nationalists and pro-British unionists in Northern Ireland to restore devolved government there are reaching an “advanced stage”, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Thursday.
Politicians in the British province have until Monday to end a three-year hiatus or risk fresh elections that London has said will be called if no agreement is reached.
Sinn Fein, the largest nationalist party, withdrew from the power-sharing government exactly three years ago saying it was not being treated equally. Since then Sinn Fein and the largest pro-British party, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), have blamed each other for successive failed attempts to break the deadlock.
DUP lawmakers from the regional assembly and the UK parliament in London were due to meet at 1600 GMT on Thursday, a source familiar with the process told Reuters, as Varadkar sounded a positive note in Dublin.
“I gave the cabinet an update on the situation in the North. Talks are reaching an advanced stage now in Stormont,” Varadkar told a news conference, referring to the Northern Irish assembly.
The importance of the devolved administration has increased following a provision in Britain’s European Union withdrawal deal that will give the assembly the right every four years to consider whether to maintain alignment with EU market rules. | <urn:uuid:fefb0eb5-5430-4bd5-a48b-5d115c8a6783> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://international-journal.com/blog/2020/01/09/northern-ireland-political-talks-at-advanced-stage-irish-pm-leo-varadkar-says/ | 2020-09-22T17:05:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.964271 | 271 |
The DEFRA consultation on moving BW to charity status ends on 30 June. Please respond giving your views on whether BW is fit to become a charity. The responses will be considered when the Ministerial Order for the Statutory Transfer of BW to a charity goes through Parliament. It’s extremely important that all the issues get onto the table in the DEFRA consultation as there won’t be another consultation.

Most of us will have heard by now that BW is going to become a “Third Sector” organisation, in other words a charity. At least, that is what the government and BW want. There are two important questions for boaters. First, what will it mean legally, and second, is it really a done deal? | <urn:uuid:7a7b54ae-333c-4a3c-b27e-46fee7bfc3d0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://kanda.boatingcommunity.org.uk/tag/charity-status/ | 2020-09-22T17:30:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.956749 | 163 |

|Botanical Name||Pinus sylvestris|
|Common Name||Scots Pine|
We call it the Scots Pine but Pinus sylvestris is the world's most widely distributed Pine and occurs right across Eurasia from Scotland to China. Our only native Pine, the Scots Pine is much finer than the Monterey Pines that stand out across the valley. The bark is tinged orange, the needles are set in pairs, and the cones are smaller and do not stay on the tree for years. This tree has clearly had a difficult life and has grown in a contorted shape which I find quite appealing.

Dear readers, this is the account of one man's dream given form, turned into reality & shared with others. My cycling partner in crime (Mr. Orange Brompton) had a dream and shared it with others of the FOLD!
LBC: London by Night 2012. (14th-15th December 2012)
Riding Bromptons though out the night in London, United Kingdom, seeing how people in London. When the idea for this ride was first suggested by my cycling partner in crime Mr. O it hit a personal cord with me. Working in London as a Bus Driver I have always seen how London changes when the darkness comes, the transition from the evening rush hour workers doing their best and sometimes worst to get home as soon as possible to get home and relax with their families or to go out cause its the weekend and they needed to blow off some steam.
Seeing this ride is taking place in winter I went out and got myself some cycling type thermals to wear, I didn't get exactly what I wanted but had cheaper alternatives. Which in time I will find out if they any good for the task before me. I will put them though their paces and will be doing a few reviews of in later posts.
On the way to the meeting point there was an accident and I'm afraid to report a casualty. I dropped my water bottle while on the train and it fell directly on the nozzle. :'(
|R.I.P my friend|
I wanted to try and get a little nap before the ride but too excited I got maybe an hour tops. I was going to be meeting my cycling buddy Mr.O at Piccadilly Circus in Central London about 23:00hrs but in my excitement I kinda got there a little early, ok 90mins early >:D

A professional career fire department takes the time to drill on a regular basis. We simply cannot walk into our firehouse and pretend we are ready--we need to actually be ready. One of the keys to being ready is pertinent training. The citizens in our district expect us to be skilled and proficient and prepared to handle their emergency. The most obvious way to ensure readiness is to train. There are several ways to accomplish this: through fire scenarios, preplanning evolutions, publication review, video training, etc.
South Montgomery County Fire Department has a very extensive continuing education and training program. Our firefighters complete daily training in order to build and maintain their skill sets.

Takeaways from the Chinese-NBA conflict
It was a tough week for American companies doing business in China. Tiffany cancelled an advertising campaign because the model had a hand over her right eye, prompting critics in China to complain it looked like she was supporting pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.
Blizzard Activision banned an e-sports player for one year for expressing support for Hong Kong, and also fired the announcers who interviewed the video game champion.
Apple banned pro-democracy singers from selling on Hong Kong iTunes.
The National Basketball Association got into the worst trouble of all.
After Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted, and quickly deleted, a message of support for Hong Kong, NBA commissioner Adam Silver issued contradictory statements defending the NBA’s stance to Americans and apologising to the Chinese.
The state-run China Central Television rejected the peace offering, saying Morey had no “right to freedom of expression” on the issue, and suspended its NBA broadcasts.
Pundits and politicians Left, Right and Centre attacked the NBA.
What’s going on, exactly? It’s easy to condemn firms for meek apologies, and to criticise the NBA and others as willing tools of the Chinese regime, “submitting to authoritarianism” to make a buck.
However, our research suggests even when companies want to support global democracy and human rights, they find it much harder than expected and trap themselves in unenviable choices.
For the past two decades, developed country governments, the United Nations and multilateral institutions have encouraged multinational businesses to play a bigger role in peace, human rights and development.
They argued business is a key stakeholder in fragile countries and participation in governance and human rights is a “win-win” way for firms to build social capital with minimal risk.
The United Nations and other global multinational organisations sought to institutionalise support for these principles, creating networks such as the UN Global Compact, Principles for Responsible Investment and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights to institutionalise the support.
Activist shareholders joined the chorus, demanding companies not only make profits, but also act as socially responsible moral entities.
Many firms bought into this language, demonstrating a commitment to corporate social responsibility by doing good deeds in developing countries with poor governance and conflict risk.
Hard-pressed policymakers in those countries welcomed the help in promoting peacebuilding, human rights and democracy.
Companies could potentially fill the gaps where governments could not, spreading human rights as they entered new markets.
For example, by going into China, the NBA might not just entertain Chinese citizens, but also give them a glimpse of the benefits of democracy and civil liberties.
Our research has shown, time and again, how companies fail to live up to these lofty expectations. It’s not for lack of trying.
Instead, companies find the problems governments want them to solve are incredibly hard, and companies themselves suffer the political fallout when they can’t get things right.
Firms often find the only choices they have left are bad ones.
For example, the NBA can support freedom of expression, but then it will potentially breach its fiduciary duty to team owners by cutting itself out of the lucrative Chinese market.
Alternatively, it can support the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to control the narrative, but undercut everything the NBA brand claims to stand for.
When firms look for a “middle way” out of these problems, they often end up upsetting everyone.
This was the case with Silver’s continued efforts to placate basketball players, fans, activists, and Beijing.
Analysts see it getting tougher still for companies that want to do business in both democracies and nondemocracies.
Nearly all multinational companies have built their global brand around moral agency: they want consumers to believe the company does the right thing at every stage of its business and in every place it does business.
Very different businesses such as Apple, Vans, Tiffany, Activision and the NBA don’t only sell products, but also an ideal of who the customers will become by enjoying their products.
All those companies have gotten into trouble over Hong Kong and China.
More generally, companies find carefully crafted domestic identities clash against incompatible political and cultural demands from nondemocratic states and customers in foreign markets.
Most firms were aware of the differences, but were caught off guard by how deeply these complex politics would affect their bottom line.
Even businesses such as the NBA, with a unique product, are reluctant to offend a particular market. This fear keeps those businesses from making straightforward decisions guided by their stated corporate philosophies.
The bottom line? This clash of ideals and demands explains why companies can’t force social change upon recalcitrant regimes by themselves.
Still, our research suggests firms can help solve even the most complex peace, human rights and democracy problems.
Companies are most likely to deliver benefits when the measures they take are concrete, focused on specific goals and build on existing corporate expertise.
These measures are more likely to affect change when companies join in collective actions by the business community that complement international political campaigns.
The 1980s anti-apartheid movement in South Africa is a good example. The business community played a key, but subsidiary, role in ending apartheid.
Businesses avoided direct criticism by joining a broader campaign, rather than by organising their own activities.
The spotlight last week was on companies navigating the Hong Kong protests, but that is not the only flashpoint for global business.
Firms that try to do significant business in both democratic and nondemocratic markets are likely to see greater demands from their customers to be socially engaged, while investors push for evermore expansion into non-Western markets.
Unless businesses act in parallel with governments that also support human rights and democracy, their vague corporate statements about supporting civil liberties and human rights will be exactly as inconsequential as they look at first glance.

Montage Beverly Hills
225 N. Canon Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Mon, 1/22/2018, 7:00pm reservation
I am an avid watcher of the Food Network and many of the celebrity chefs. Geoffrey Zakarian is one of those chefs who seems personable and makes the food look delicious. The chef recently opened up the restaurant Georgie in Beverly Hills, replacing his fellow colleague Scott Conant's Scarpetta (which I was a fan of).
Located in the Montage Beverly Hills, the restaurant space is exquisite. It's classy and sophisticated. The chairs and benches are lush and candlelights with a white interior complete the décor.
My friends and I were torn between the regular menu and the dineLA menu. We opted for the dineLA along with an order of their most delicious bread...
Overall, I thought the food was just ok. The dineLA menu was different than their regular menu, so it is possible that the food could be better. I thought the service was on point and they were very quick to time the dishes right. The restaurant is beautiful and I love the spacing between tables so you're not elbowing other diners. Would I come back? It's questionable, but the bread sorta sold me here.

It has to be said that lockdown is beginning to lose any appeal that it may have had in the beginning (the fact that it has rained non-stop for the last ten days may have had some bearing on that, I admit). I can’t remember whether we are 11 or 12 weeks in, I can no longer be bothered to count, and anyway I can’t see out from under my fringe. We remind ourselves daily that we and our families are incredibly fortunate – none of us has had Covid-19, nobody has lost their job, everyone has a secure home and we are all financially keeping heads above water – for now at least.

Robin’s favourite favourite is fish pie. Closely followed by fish pie. It is not mine, on several counts: a) I find it a bit on the mushy, school-dinner, nursery-fare, side; b) it doesn’t look very appetising once it’s slumped onto the plate; and c) it is a right faff to make, what with having to pre-cook the fish, cook and mash the potatoes and then make a bechamel sauce with the cooking liquid. You feel as though you need to start thinking about dinner roughly five minutes after you’ve put the cornflake bowls in the dishwasher, and you’ll need more pots and pans than Jamie Oliver.
But help is at hand. I was idly watching a Mary Berry programme back in the summer and she made a fish and cauliflower gratin – a kind of fish pie by any other name. Now, I am not overly keen on cauliflower and I certainly don’t think it goes with fish – it’s just about OK if it’s been swathed in a particularly Cheddary-mustardy sauce and baked to a golden crisp in the oven, as a bit of a mid-week tea, but as a component of a fish pie, well, yuk. However, I decided Mary definitely could be on to something with her idea for a more simplified method and, with a few judicious tweaks in the ingredients department, I came up with a yummy alternative. Continue reading “No-faff fish pie”
Today is probably the hottest since we arrived back – ironic, since we’ve just moved into September. This morning it was 44 degrees, but has now cooled to a more manageable 34, so I might yet venture out – according to our little weather station, the temperature has been as low as 27 at some point since midnight – not sure when that was, I must have missed it while I was asleep. When I had my morning swim, I complained that the pool was starting to get cold – a quick temperature check assured me it was still 32 degrees in the water – it must have been the super-hot air temperature confusing me. Either that or I really have turned into a total wimp.

A Brief History of the Case Against Obamacare
How does Randy Barnett—the law professor and former criminal prosecutor credited with providing the intellectual and legal framework of the constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act—expect to feel in the moments before the U.S. Supreme Court announces its decision?
I will never forget the feeling in the pit of my stomach every time a jury filed into the box to announce its verdict. I will have that same feeling at 10am tomorrow morning. Big time.
In a post made today on the legal blog Volokh Conspiracy, Barnett, who hangs his shingle at the Georgetown University Law Center, adds to that remark by noting the uphill climb of the challenge against the ACA and by thanking the numerous scholars and attorneys who helped refine and deliver the constitutional challenge to the individual-mandate provision.
Even after more detailed pieces about the intellectual history of the challenge are published, Barnett’s blog post will remain a valuable chronicle of who did what and when.
Incidentally, in a talk he gave at the Independent Institute in March 1999, “Justice, Natural Rights, and the Rule of Law,” Barnett offered an interesting take on the politics of rights and the integrity of the legal system. Whereas many conservatives profess an allegiance to the rule of law but give short shrift to individual rights, many libertarians do the opposite, he argued. But proper jurisprudence, he suggested, must integrate esteem for the rule of law with the protection of individual rights.
It would be interesting to hear how Barnett would put this principle into practice if the Court upholds the mandate and the ACA withstands any follow-up legal challenges to its other provisions. In any case, tomorrow’s decision is sure to give birth to a new cottage industry, one populated by pundits of one stripe or another who say, “I told you so.” | <urn:uuid:08d45709-48ec-4e3a-8f42-c004e5a35cf2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.independent.org/2012/06/27/a-brief-history-of-the-case-against-obamacare/ | 2020-09-22T17:48:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.948163 | 385 |
Josh Baldridge – Fender Electric Guitars – Player Stratocaster – Polar White
I’ve picked Strats like this before, but I really like the Woodstock Hendrix White Strat look, super sharp goes great with a tux, or anything really! A part of the new players series that we just got in, the pickups are the new alnico pickups and they sound great. We’ve got them in store and they’ll up on the website soon. Come check this affordable Strat out!

Jim Baggett – Collings Acoustic Guitars – OM1 A JL 1 3/4 Traditional – Julian Lage Signature
I’ve been so impressed with each one these JL series guitars that we’ve been getting from Collings. So much so I’m thinking about buying a 1 3/4″ version for myself.
Our Acoustic inventory is always changing – head on over to view the latest in our Acoustic Collection!
Eric Putnam – Milkman Sound – 20W Creamer Combo with Power Scaling
All of the milkman amps that we have had in have been great, but the creamer is my personal favorite. It is has enough headroom to gig with, but with the built in attenuator it can breakup at very comfortable volumes. Also the reverb and trem sound amazing in this amp.

Matt Pelsma – Taylor Acoustic Guitars – 714CE V-Class
I have really been digging the new V-Class since our Taylor Road show earlier this year. I recently got to attend Taylor University in Denver, CO and was able to dive into the bracing a little more and hear from different Taylor people and other retailers, and I believe the hype. I think this guitar solves a ton of intonation issues inherent with guitars, and further pushes the richness and consistency Taylor is known for as a manufacturer. I’m impressed, and I want one.
Check out our current collection of Taylor Guitars.
Brian Soden – Xotic Effect Pedals – SP Compressor
I’ve always enjoyed this compressor on my main electric board, but have recently become even more impressed by how it performs in my acoustic rig! I set the toggle switch to “Lo” so it’s not adding a lot of compression – just enough to even things out and make the feel of the strings more natural under my fingers while using the piezo pickup in my guitar. Such a versatile tool to have!

Mike Horan – Collings Acoustic Guitars – D1 A Traditional T Series
These Adirondack models continue to be consistently great guitars. Fantastic bluegrass models.

Matt Harmon – Tom Anderson – 2001 T Classic Sparkle Silver – Used
I’ve been on an Anderson kick for the last 3 months and this used classic comes in at a great price and has had the pickups changed out to Fralins which is perfect in my opinion.

Trey Durkin – Martin Acoustic Guitars – 2018 HD-28 Ambertone
I’ve really been digging the new HD-28 Ambertone we recently got in. It sounds like a rosewood dread should, and is a head turner to boot. This guitar makes me want to play Neil Young tunes all day….

Susan Willits – Gretsch Resonators – G9201 Honey Dipper Round-Neck – Shed Roof Finish
I love these Gretsch Honey Dipper guitars with the Shed Roof finish! They sound so rich and full, and they have a lot of punch. Plus they look amazing, and our shop can set it up for whatever playing style you prefer!
Take a look through our collection of New Gear!
Matt Kappenman – Collings Acoustic Guitars – 002H Wenge
This was a new leap for us with Collings. With tonewoods like Madagascar becoming hard to find, we wanted to try a new alternative. We found that option in Wenge, or African Rosewood as it’s sometimes called. This wood has been used on our favorite CJ-35s for the bridge and fingerboard for years, but we hadn’t tried it as a back and sides. I’m so glad we did. This guitar keeps delivering. I’ve played it a little bit every day since we got it last week and I can’t believe how open and robust it’s getting. Don’t miss out on trying this little 002H.
Tons of great Acoustic Guitars in the shop right now! | <urn:uuid:b3474e45-30e1-4b8e-bb95-1d41cd7ea754> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.massstreetmusic.com/2018/06/june-2018-mass-street-staff-picks/ | 2020-09-22T18:30:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.926931 | 1,020 |
Steve Garvey joined the air ambulance crew in June 2009. Ten years and over 2,200 missions later, Steve looks at some of his highlights from the last decade with Cornwall Air Ambulance.
1 Landing dream job
When I qualified as a paramedic, following five years of ambulance service, I was determined to work towards landing my dream job as an air ambulance paramedic.
The selection process was extremely robust- there were clinical assessments, interviews and an outward-bound exercise on Dartmoor. In my first attempt I was under-prepared and more experienced clinicians were appointed to the role. This increased my determination to succeed at the next recruitment. After lots of preparation and hard work, I was rewarded second time round when I appointed as an aircrew paramedic in June 2009; the proudest moment of my ambulance career.
2 Move to airbase
When the new headquarters opened at Trevithick Downs in 2012, it was the first time in its history the charity and clinical operations team combined to work together in one facility. This was a big change for the aircrew, who moved from relatively cramped portacabins, to the airbase we have today, with a crew room and welfare facilities. The move has made the charity a lot more accessible to the public which is important as they fund the service.
3 Fundraising for the service
Cornwall Air Ambulance has relied on public donations to fly since it started in 1987. Myself and my colleagues also try to help with fundraising where we can. I have taken part in various cycle rides, combining a hobby with a passion for helping the charity to raise funds. In 2015, I took part in a London to Paris charity cycle (cycling the Champs-Élysées is not for the faint hearted!) and in 2019 completed my second London to Land’s End cycle in pretty challenging conditions- good old Cornish weather of rain and headwinds!!
4 Promoted to Air Operations Officer
In April 2011, I took on the role of lead paramedic, which was my first step in ambulance service management. A few years on and I progressed to my current role of Air Operations Officer. Along with working on the helicopter, I lead a team of seven, whilst developing the relationship with Cornwall Air Ambulance and external stakeholders.
5 Representing the charity
I’m proud to represent the charity on a national level at the Air Ambulance Association Conference and Awards each year. Locally, I have been able to deliver talks to groups, such as Lions and Rotary Clubs, to help raise the profile of Cornwall Air Ambulance.
6 Developing skills
In 2014, Cornwall Air Ambulance embarked on a program with Plymouth University to train paramedics to critical care level. A further skill of a Critical Care Paramedic was the ability to deliver enhanced pain relief where required. I was fortunate to become the first paramedic in Cornwall who could administer Ketamine to patients in cases of severe pain, where other drugs were not effective.
7 Saving Bob Walker
This new clinical skill was put to good use shortly after becoming qualified when myself and colleague Stu Croft were dispatched to a collision involving a motorcyclist and a car. Bob’s leg was completely out of alignment and he had suffered a catastrophic bleed. With the use of Ketamine we were able to manipulate and splint Bob’s leg to realign it on the roadside- a procedure which would have been extremely difficult to manage without the advanced pain relief. Unfortunately, the surgeons were not able to save Bob’s leg, but he was in great spirits when he returned to the airbase to meet with Stu and myself. It’s amazing to see him now take on fundraising events for the charity, such as a recent skydive. Stu and I were even invited to his wedding, which was a first for both of us.
8 Welcoming special guests
It’s not every day you meet royalty, but there have been a couple of occasions over the past 10 years. We’ve welcomed the Duchess of Cornwall, in her role as Patron of Cornwall Air Ambulance, and even had a visit from Prince Charles at the airbase.
9 Changes to the service
I’ve seen a lot of change over the last 10 years. Along with the enhanced skillset of the clinical crew, we now have advanced medical equipment, such as the Lucas chest compression device, and the ultrasound, which are not currently available on road ambulances. The introduction of night-vision capabilities, which allows the aircraft to fly in darkness, and the start of the critical care car cover, have both helped us to reach more patients.
10 Lasting impact
It’s an honour to help the people of Cornwall in their hour of need. It’s always a lovely moment to see someone that you’ve helped and meet their family. It reinforces how important the service is for the community of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. With the introduction of a new air ambulance helicopter in April 2020, I look forward seeing how the service develops even more in the next decade. | <urn:uuid:0361fb9f-5395-4483-b7b9-ef69f512078f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cornwallairambulancetrust.org/paramedic-celebrates-a-decade-of-saving-lives/ | 2020-09-22T16:53:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.974977 | 1,064 |
When I was ten or eleven years old, my mother made one of the very best strawberry shortcakes I have ever tasted. My two sisters, Barb and Betty, helped me pick nearly a quart of wild strawberries we found growing in special abundance that summer on the abandoned roadbed of Wisconsin Highway 24 where it ran through a swampy area north of our property.
School was out for the summer, and we were enjoying our freedom. One day I volunteered to guide my sisters to the Whitten Dam on the Namekagon River. I have no idea why my mother agreed to this suggestion, though it may simply have been that she wanted us kids out of the house. At least, there was no traffic to worry about, though the old wooden bridge over the river at the dam was treacherous.
I knew how to find my way to the dam and back home. My parents had led us on the old road several times, and we had a picnic there once. On another occasion, Dad had caught a nice northern pike in the big pool below the spillway. She sent us off with some cookies in a syrup pail and instructions not to fall in.
We never made it to the dam. Before we were halfway there, we started picking a few wild strawberries, and when we got to the low spot in the road, my little sister Betty (three years my junior) announced that she was tired of walking and wanted to sit down and eat some strawberries. That’s when Barb and I noticed how big some of those berries were.
They weren’t a large as tame strawberries, but some of them on plants in the ditches were as big as the end of my little finger. We had not had any strawberry shortcake yet that summer, so I began a sales job on the girls who were busy popping those sweet morsels into their mouths. In a few minutes we had transferred the cookies from the syrup pail into our stomachs and were busy replacing the cookies with strawberries.
We didn’t fill the pail, but we brought home enough berries for strawberry shortcake that evening. Even Betty, who was never an enthusiastic berry picker, was motivated by the thought of Mom’s drop shortcakes covered with wild strawberries and whipped cream.
Mom helped us pick enough for another shortcake a few days later, and we picked wild strawberries once or twice the following summer, but by then my parents had planted two long rows of tame strawberries in the garden by the house. In a couple of years, wild strawberries became a special treat that we picked in small quantities to enjoy over scoops of ice cream before the tame berries were ripe.
A few years later those tame strawberries motivated my father to become a commercial strawberry farmer. There was a small pond across the field on the north end of the forty where our home was built. Dad had cleared and plowed a half acre parcel on which he had planted sweet corn for two years. Assuming that the roots in the soil had decayed enough to make it possible to dig potatoes, he then planted a half acre of russets. I can testify that some of the bigger roots had not decayed enough, but with Dad’s help we harvested a lot of beautiful spuds.
Dad was bitten by the commercial strawberry farming bug after the second year of raising potatoes by the pond. He ordered several hundred strawberry plants and laid out the patch according to instructions from the county agent. He also built a portable water pump powered by a small “one lung” gasoline engine so he could irrigate the plants when necessary.
He was enthusiastic about the new venture at the end of the first year. Most of the plants had survived, the pump worked perfectly, and the plants were tucked under their blanket of mulch ready to be uncovered and encouraged to produce lots of juicy berries the following summer.
Unfortunately, Dad did not recognize the valuable service that Nugget performed. This was understandable, since Dad liked cats while Nugget was my dog. Nugget kept the deer away from the garden by the house. He stayed home in his house or sleeping in the summer on the back stoop. He had a good nose and a pair of sensitive ears that could detect a hungry deer at a hundred yards. He also had a good bark and had developed a convincing way of baring his fangs. Deer stayed out of the yard.
But they loved Dad’s strawberry patch. Ominous signs appeared with the first blossoms. When Mom and Dad walked out to the patch to see how the strawberries were doing, they saw deer tracks in the freshly hoed soil between the rows, but there were lots of buds and Dad was confident.
“Still lots of buds, but not too many flowers,” he would report evening after evening. “Lots of deer tracks, though.”
Then it was “Some nice berries are getting ripe. Lots of fawn tracks and what looks like a big buck.”
Until finally one evening he brought home a handful of nearly ripe strawberries and announced, “Those darned deer are eating the berries as fast as they get ripe.”
The county agent recommended an eight foot tall fence but Dad decided to cut his losses and run. “Maybe I can shoot that buck,” he said optimistically, but he never did.
If you can’t find a good patch of wild strawberries and don’t have a dog to protect your tame ones, you can still make some delicious strawberry shortcakes.
For the shortcake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 T baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 T sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup whole milk
For the berries:
1 quart fresh strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
For the whipped cream:
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 heaping T sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
If you are lucky enough to live near a farmer who has a “Pick your own strawberries” patch, the first thing to do is go pick a couple of quarts. Berries you pick yourself will have more flavor than any you can buy in the supermarket. Next best (and a lot less work) is to get locally grown strawberries at a farmers market. You’ll need a quart for the shortcake, and you can nibble on the rest when the urge strikes you or slice, sugar and freeze them for shortcake after the strawberry season is past. Pick nice red ripe fruit.
Wash the berries and remove the stems and tops. Set aside six berries to top the shortcakes with. Slice the rest and gently mix them with the sugar. Let the berries rest at room temperature for one to two hours.
Preheat the oven to 450º and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Blend the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a mixing bowl and cut in the shortening with a fork or pastry blender until the flour looks like coarse corn meal. Stir in the milk just until the dry ingredients are moist. Be careful not to mix the dough too long.
Use a mixing spoon and rubber spatula to drop six mounds of dough spaced two inches apart on the baking sheet. Put the sheet on a center shelf in the oven and bake for twelve to fourteen minutes until the biscuits are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake them. Remove the biscuits from the baking sheet and cool them on a wire rack.
About fifteen minutes before you want to serve the shortcakes, chill a mixing bowl and beater along with about three fourths cup of whipping cream in the freezer. Beat the cream until soft peaks start to form, then add the sugar and beat a few seconds until all the sugar has disappeared into the cream. Add the vanilla extract and beat a few seconds longer.
Assemble the shortcakes by slicing the biscuit in half horizontally and spooning plenty of strawberries over the bottom half. Replace the top half, spoon on more strawberries, cover with a generous spoonful or two of whipped cream and top with a strawberry.
NOTES: Shortcake actually refers to the baking-powder leavened biscuit that provides the body of the dessert. Mom made her shortcakes like she made baking powder biscuits but with extra sugar and a little more milk so the dough dropped easily onto the baking sheet.
She sometimes made strawberry shortcakes with pieces of ordinary yellow cake. They tasted pretty good too, but the cake fights with the flavor of the strawberries. You can buy preformed sponge shortcakes in the supermarket. I have used them in the middle of the winter after thawing out some sliced strawberries.
With plenty of real whipped cream, they taste okay. If a recipe suggests using “whipped topping,” skip it. | <urn:uuid:82f4ccd0-b877-4e70-a17d-a648cbfa9ae9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://courageinthekitchen.blog/2015/06/20/strawberry-shortcake/ | 2020-09-22T16:19:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.975208 | 1,814 |

Take a look at the following charts.
1. This is the USD trade weighted index on a weekly chart.
2. This is the same chart on a monthly time frame.
3. This is the $DXY, the standard USD index. (https://www.tradingview.com/chart/DXY/S1oU78fW-USDx-teetering-on-the-edge/)
Both indices are indicating bearishness. Since The Euro is gaining strength (and since it is weighted heaviest in both) I’d argue that is applying heavy downside pressure and will continue to do so.
We have seen poor trade data from China just three days ago. I’ll take Investopedia’s explanation of why this matters hugely for the USD as they word it much better than I could.
China is primarily a manufacturing hub and an export-driven economy. Chinese exporters receive US dollars for their goods sold to the US, but they need Renminbi (RMB or Yuan) to pay their workers and store money locally. They sell the dollars they receive through exports to get RMB, which increases the USD supply and raises demand for RMB. China’s central bank (People’s Bank of China — PBOC) carried out active interventions to prevent this imbalance between the US dollar and Yuan in local markets. It buys the available excess US dollars from the exporters and gives them the required Yuan. PBOC can print Yuan as needed. Effectively, this intervention by the PBOC creates a scarcity of US dollars which keeps the USD rates higher. China hence accumulates USD as forex reserves.
With a huge amount of dollars in reserve, the Chinese buy up US treasury bills (US debt) as it is a relatively safe medium to hold this value in. Now, I hold a bearish view on China. They have an overheating housing market, alongside a pretty big credit bubble. Since there is a huge amount of US – China interdependence, I think you can tell what would happen if China failed…
In addition, today we had the US 10 Year bond auction where we saw the lowest yield on US 10s in a month. Since we had a huge amount of foreign central banks buying up these US 10s, I would say that we are pricing out a rate hike. This is obviously USD negative and gives further weight to USD bearishness.

How to control physical desire towards other men?
Q: I am a 42 year old female. I was separated from my husband for three years, nearly two years back. Now we are together, but it is five years since I have had any sex life. I just don't feel like going to my husband. Instead I have very great physical desire towards other men. Why this strange feeling at this age? I have a teenaged daughter and a 7 year old son. I'm feeling miserable. Is there any medication to kill this physical desire or else I may ruin my life. I'm having great difficulty and in a way am obsessed with this thought. Kindly suggest a medical remedy for this disease (read somewhere that this is called nymphomania) if any. I wish to add that I hail from a very good decent family and I'm well educated too.
A:You do not sound like a nymphomaniac. You sound like a frustrated woman who is still sexually alive, but who is no longer attracted to your husband. Why did you go back to him? For love? Because you are a responsible person, considerate of your childrens wish to have married parents? To please your family? Why were you separated; was he with another woman? If so, how did it end - did she throw him out, or did he decide that you are truly the love of his life and that he was a fool to leave? Or, did you leave him for another? If so, why did you come back? Your letter raises more questions than it answers, and without answers to the questions I have asked, your sex problem cannot be answered. It may be a symptom, not the basic problem. It is hard to be attracted sexually to a man who has hurt you, or to a man toward whom you feel anger, even if you are unaware of angry feelings. My suggestion: Talk with a marriage counselor. If you are depressed, you may be sent to a psychiatrist or other physician, who may prescribe medication for depression. Incidentally, antidepressant medications have reduced sex drive as a (usually unwanted) side effect. | <urn:uuid:6f4e3fde-7991-4532-9036-b6f2aa27ac2d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://doctor.ndtv.com/faq/how-to-control-physical-desire-towards-other-men-2538 | 2020-09-22T17:28:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.983166 | 435 |
Heavy brass ships scissor wall light for use as general wall fitting with ES bulbs. Salvaged from 1950’s era ship this is solid brass with rough cast appearance from the massive ship breaking yards in India. They can be fitted to walls by the 6 screws supplied through mounting holes in the wall plate. This wall plate allows the arm to swing and extend, holding the weight if the brass arm at a 900mm length at a maximum down to 330mm at it’s minimum. Power is by flexible pulley cord to a cordgrip wall plate in polished brass to match. Attention to detail when installing is required to allow the cable room to flex.
This light would have been used as a reading light for maps or general, collapsible since space is limited on some ships. We use robust pulley cable for this lamp as it will take some flex over a period of time without degradation. This fitting can take a range of ES bulbs but they should be no larger than ST64. Bulb not included but you can choose from our range of E27 globes.
Ship breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for scrap recycling. Most ships have a lifespan of a few decades before there is so much wear that refitting and repair become uneconomical. Ship breaking allows materials from the ship, especially steel, to be recycled. Equipment on board the vessel can also be reused. This is a great way to obtain the highest quality solid brass lighting components for use in industrial style design. All lamp parts show their age in a wonderful polished patina, some have more marks than others but all are acceptable wear for age given these are from ship building made after the war. | <urn:uuid:be3dd5c4-67f5-4c87-9125-488d5157abe6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://edisonlightglobes.com/Shop/shop/fittings/wall-lights/heavy-brass-ships-scissor-wall-light/ | 2020-09-22T16:36:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.95168 | 350 |

Before I talk about my visit to the Great Central Railway 1940s weekend, I want to share some good news about two photos that I took at this event in 2010. I recently entered these two image in the Great Central Railway Print section of the annual exhibition run by Leicester and Leicestershire Photographic Society.
This picture of an engine driver looking out of his cab was commended:
This picture featuring a young soldier and a beautiful land army girl, which was a grab shot taken as a steam train was drawing into Rothley Station, was awarded second place in the same competition:
This year (2012) was the fifth time that my good friend Barry and I have photographed this event in the last 6 years. Not only is it a great event for photographers, but it is a great day out with plenty to see and enjoy, good food and interesting people to meet and share experiences.
The weather turned out so much better than expected with the forecast for Sunday being wet and windy. As it turned out, it was a beautiful day for re-enactors and visitors alike.
I don’t think there were quite as many period costume “characters” as there were last year but there was still plenty going on, certainly on the Sunday when we were there. The Das Heer re-enactment group were on patrol at Rothley Station as in previous years.
At Quorn and Loughborough Stations we encountered the Pitsford Home Guard Living History Group who carried out various exercises, parades and drills throughout the weekend. There was also a rarade featuring members of the Royal British Legion and guest dignitaries including Montgomery among others.
This was my first re-enactment of the year following a long lay-off due to my back problem earlier in the year. It was great to be out taking photos again and I hope to be able to cover more events through the remainder of the year now that my back is improving.
All the photos here were taken with my Canon EOS 5D (Classic) and EF 80-200mm F2.8L lens. All photos were shot in RAW format and processed using Lightroom Version 3.6. I’m still using Windows XP and so I am unable to upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom but to be honest it doesn’t concern me that much.
As always, credit must go to the event organisers, especially everyone connected with the Great Central Railway, including all the volunteers.
Also thanks to all the living history groups and re-enactors, both military and civilian, who make these events such a great photo opportunity for the many enthusiast photographers like myself. | <urn:uuid:54376b05-22ac-430b-bdd2-60ab019f7988> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://geoffoliver.photography/2012/06/20/great-central-railway-1940s-weekend-june-2012/ | 2020-09-22T18:38:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.98289 | 553 |
Workers Compensation on the Gridiron
It’s Football Season!
As Americans tune in for football season, and we cheer on our favorite teams and players, we know inevitably we will see some accidents and injuries take place this fall. Unfortunately, it’s just part of the game.
A recent National Law Review article, “Worker’s Compensation on the Gridiron,” reminds us that our favorite football stars are employees of a professional team. And like employees all over Wisconsin and the U.S., they are protected by Worker’s Compensation Law if they are injured on the job.
Claims and Compensability
When we see a player injure an ankle, knee, or shoulder, we don’t often stop and think about the legal and medical steps that will follow. However, Worker’s Comp claims are filed – often in states that are not home, depending on where the injury occurred – and the healing process begins.
“While most fans do not watch a game to ponder the intricacies of workers’ compensation liability, it is ironic that the pastime of so many can have such an impact on the practical aspects of employment,” the article says.

In case you haven't checked out the sourcing page on our website, we wanted to share with you how Kuma sources Kenyan Coffee!
Kenyan coffees were one of the first things Kuma became known for in the early days of the company, just a tiny Seattle roastery putting out some exceptional Kenyan lots that nobody around had tasted anything like. They have since become one of our core coffees in our lineup. We bring them in to the states vacuum packed and boxed, preserved for maximum longevity, and thus we are able to offer them year round.
Mark Barany, the original founder of Kuma, had spent some years growing up in Nairobi, so in addition to the personal connection, the coffees coming out of the Nyeri region are unlike anything else in the world. Deeply fruited, high acidity flavors in these coffees bring to mind a berry cornucopia, blackberries, raspberries, and no shortage to tropical fruits too. Sweet and bright, you wouldn't be faulted for thinking you were drinking fruit juice when you have a mug of Kenyan coffee. Truly a singular origin.
Years later as Kuma grew, so did our sourcing methods, and 4 years ago Mark travelled to Kenya himself to purchase coffee lots instead of from coffee importers here in the states.
That was 4 years ago, and each year since he has traveled to the famed Dorman’s Coffees in Nairobi, the hub of all top tier coffees out of Kenya. It's a whirlwind week of cupping hundreds of lots from coops around the Nyeri region, all previously evaluated down to the very best tasting. In Kenya coffees are sorted by size of the bean (called screen size) and the cuppings are primarily only the largest sizes, AA, AB and the occasional Peaberry.
This past year, we had Mark return to Dorman’s in Nairobi to source 6 more lots on behalf of Kuma, and we are so excited about what we have brought in. Check out our latest Kenyan coffee here. | <urn:uuid:e926a323-336b-44bf-be6e-f478d570c423> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://kumacoffee.com/blogs/news/sourcing-coffee-from-kenya | 2020-09-22T16:53:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.971915 | 430 |

New product update: Q1 and Q4 hopper wagon kits.
These kits have been promising for a while. Final test builds have been completed, instructions are nearly written and stock is on order. So here’s a preview…
The Q1 and Q4 were both unbraked iron bodied hopper wagons that could be found in both the Westport and Greymouth areas from the turn of the twentieth century until the end of steam.
Hoppers for the Q1 were originally 6T capacity to BP535, but were extended to 8T on BP3270 from 1903. Underframe was BP348 of 1896 (although a small number had the BP3148 underframe more typically carrying the Q4 hopper). Q1 is easily recognised as it is the only variant with the lifting eyes recessed part way down the body. There were at least two different handbrake arrangements on the BP348 underframe. The kit represents the extended hopper in the BP348 underframe, of which around 200 were made.
The Q4 hopper was to BP3146 of 1902 almost always in the BP3148 underframe (around 275 examples), but a few had the BP348 underframe. Q4 is the only hopper wagon with simple flat sides in iron.
The philosophy for these kits is for something that is well detailed, yet not too tricky or time-consuming to build. Digital design means that there is an extremely accurate fit between etched, cast brass and 3D printed resin parts. Of course, the detail level is high too. Clean up and fettling are minimal. I built the test model with an ordinary Weller soldering iron and no special tools (other than a rivet punch). Photos are warts and all, with no clean up (other than where necessary for fit/free movement) for the purpose of illustration. For the most part solder joints can be made so that any excess will not be apparent in the finished model. I’ll tidy up my model with the sandblaster, but a little more attention to excess visible solder during the build could avoid that need.
Q1 has wooden headstocks and these are represented by brass castings. The rest of the underframe is etched brass. The hopper, generally the difficult bit, is a one piece 3D print, with separate door parts. The Q4 is of broadly similar design, but as the prototype headstock is channel, the headstocks are etched.
As always these kits feature sprung axleboxes. The axleboxes slide in the horns and are supported on hidden guitar string ‘leaf’ springs. This system has real benefits in keeping wagons on the track, reducing noise and producing realistic motion in the vehicles. If this isn’t attractive to the builder it is possible to fix the axleboxes in place. My latest version of this system is quite a bit faster to build and tune than earlier versions.
The album below shows construction of the Q1 using photos drawn from the instructions.
As can be seen, the basic operations are embossing rivets, folding etched brass at half-etched guides and soldering parts together. Parts are largely self-jigging and I generally used wooden clothes pegs or basswood offcuts to hold parts when soldering.
Update: The Q1 complete.
The Q4 is quite different to the Q1 in it’s construction, but the principles are identical as shown in the album for the Q4 kit below.
Update: The Q4 complete.
What’s included in the kits?
Kits include etched brass frets, brass castings and 3d prints, together with NY wheels, pinpoint bearings, wire etc to build the basic wagon. Instructions will be supplied in soft copy and consist of a fully illustrated build diary. Not included are couplers, sidechain, and hooks which are available separately. Decals are not currently supplied, but should be available separately at a later date.
As with all my kits, I offer ‘no fault’ support. If you lose, break or muck up a part I’ll replace it*.
Very limited kits are available now. They should be fully available in 6-8 weeks, which is the turnaround time to get stock on hand. Check back often as new kits will be added and pages updated over the next few weeks.
Full price for the kits is $75 per wagon. Wagons ordered before 15 October will be $65 per wagon (to be supplied when stock is on hand).
* Part replacement is generally at no charge where feasible. The objective here is to make building kits as easy as possible. Depending on what is needed I may impose a charge to cover costs and postage. This offer depends on replacement parts being available, but we’ll always do what we can to help. | <urn:uuid:a0388500-b583-4d43-bdc5-aa0a95fd26dc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://nzfinescale.com/new-q-kits/ | 2020-09-22T16:26:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.957443 | 1,002 |

MineX 360 Services have designed an application that will enable parents and school authorities easily check when pupils get to school and when they depart.
The application known as SmartSapp will notify guardians of who drops off their kids at school and who picks them up and at the exact time.
This innovation has been unleashed to address the increasing rate of kidnapping, especially in schools.
Frank Natie, team leader of SmartSapp or Smart School Application, said at the launch at Holiday Inn in Accra on Thursday that the product seeks to ensure child security, parent convenience and promote smarter schools.
He noted that the current system of signing in and singing out when parents drop off or pick up their wards from school is sometimes inconvenient.
Frank Natie added that the manual system takes so much time because parents will have to queue to authenticate their identity before picking their wards from school.
He said the app will eliminate these cumbersome processes with the introduction of a scanning device and card that authenticates the identity of guardians in a few seconds.
Schools that register for this app get to access the profiles of designated guardians of pupils including their photographs.
The app also tabulates the number of pupils present in school every day because parents can indicate if their kids will be absent on a particular day.
SmartSapp is also connected to banks and Mobile Money services to enable parents pay various forms of fees outlined by a school.
An option has also been created to help class teachers rate the behaviour of pupils regularly for the benefit of parents.
Frank Natie announced that a pilot project was carried out and a number of schools have already subscribed to the SmartSapp. | <urn:uuid:b53b41d6-a514-443c-836a-80f8ad09568c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pinkfmonlinegh.com/smartsapp-launched-to-check-kidnapping-in-schools/ | 2020-09-22T17:29:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.970036 | 336 |
On the continent, keepy-uppy is the staple of the star player signing ceremony and there’s a reason for that. Usually, a player will be ushered on to the pitch, maybe into the centre circle, where they’ll spend a few minutes effortlessly tapping the ball up in the air, making it look like it is as easy as breathing.
This isn’t just a player idly killing time, it’s a message to the fans: here is a big player with big skills who is going to have a big impact. It doesn’t always work out that way, but in that moment, anybody who has tried to do kick-ups knows what this nonchalant display means.
Find a video of Neymar’s keepy-uppy skills. The Brazilian superstar is famous for his tricks and flicks, and he makes kick-ups look like the easiest thing in the world. The same goes for his one-time Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi. Doing keepy-uppies is a badge of honour.
Neymar and Messi are good but who is the best? Who is the granddaddy of kick-ups? It has to be Argentinian legend Diego Maradona. There is footage of him showing off incredible kick-up skills not just with a football but with a tennis ball and a golf ball. Now that is outrageous skill. How could he do it? Well, as a child, he ran errands doing keepy-uppy with an orange. It’s all about practice.
It’s a tricky skill, but getting pretty good at kick-ups is something you can achieve. Practice makes perfect. Or at least much better.
So, how do you get your keepy-uppy game on? Here are three basic steps to get you started:
1. Using your stronger foot, kick a ball so that it comes up to your waist and catch it. Repeat until you get a good, accurate motion going.
2. Repeat step 1 with your weaker foot. Try to get the ball to come to the same height at your waist. Repeat until the motion is consistent and accurate. Mix up the action using both feet.
3. Next, try using both feet, one after the other, and then catching the ball. Once you’re comfortable doing it with both feet (two kick-ups), try it with three. And then four, five, six, etc.
Keep practising - a keepy-uppy net is useful to have - and soon you’ll be rolling out the keepy-uppies like a pro. As you practice, you can try controlling the ball with other parts of your body. Start with your thighs because that’s the easiest.
Why should you learn to do kick-ups with a football?
It’s a good question because you don’t really see players doing keepy-uppies in games. But what you do see is them using the close control ball skills that doing kick-ups teaches you. And these skills are very important.
Also, doing kick-ups is good exercise – you’ll get a sweat on. Playing football as a whole is really good exercise – a great workout for your whole body. You get the cardiovascular exercise, you work on your quads, hamstrings and calves and, because you use your arms a lot, you tone your upper body.
But it’s not just about the exercise. When you get the kick-ups right, and get a good flow going, it makes you feel like a pro. A fleeting moment of wonder when you feel like you’ve got it, that you’re up there with the best of them, shoulder to shoulder (and foot to foot) with Neymar, Messi, Kane, Sterling et al.
And this feeling is golden. The kick-up: it’s a joy of football, right there. | <urn:uuid:775d3667-61b0-48a4-b246-88fa82ffc692> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://play.decathlon.co.uk/articles/how-to-do-kick-ups-and-why-you-should-do-them | 2020-09-22T16:52:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.957438 | 826 |
As food is increasingly important, ingredients matter more than ever
AS food has become an increasingly important part of the offer in Scotland’s pubs and bars and operators look to distance themselves from their competition, the quality of ingredients and cooking materials has arguably never been so important.
Using the right cooking oil – and changing it regularly – can make a real difference to the finished meal, say specialist firms.
When it comes to choosing an oil, quality should always be king, according to Shaune Hall, product development chef at Falcon Foodservice Equipment.
It’s essential to use good quality oils and refresh regularly.
“The old adage of you get back what you put in is especially true in frying,” he said. “It’s essential to use good quality oils and to skim, filter and refresh oil regularly to remove any debris and impurities.”
And with so many bar and restaurant customers interested in the ingredients they’re consuming, healthier oils can be worth considering.
“Chefs should stay away from purchasing oils that are saturated (coconut oil, palm oil or containing animal fats) because although they are very good for frying they are very bad for your health,” said Tina Carter, marketing manager at Brakes Catering Equipment.
“They should be looking to purchase polyunsaturated oils (corn oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil) as these are good for frying with little taste transfer and are less harmful to health.
“Both of the [aforementioned] are normally mixed oils containing quantities of each so the content label needs checking.”
Versatility is one of the key qualities of any oil used in a commercial kitchen, according to Kate Mortimer, group marketing and communications manager at supply and collection firm Olleco.
Like Carter, Mortimer advised chefs to consider rapeseed oil.
“Rapeseed oil is a clear/golden oil that is neutral in taste so it won’t overpower delicate flavours,” she said.
“It is highly versatile which means it can be used for both deep and shallow frying and as it is high in monounsaturated fat it is the healthier alternative.
“Rapeseed oil is also GM-free so there is no need to declare it as a GM ingredient.”
Oil also needs to be regularly replaced in order to ensure the flavour isn’t compromised, said Stuart Hayes, sales director at Pantheon Catering Equipment.
“Oil that needs to be replaced will start to brown,” said Hayes.
“The lifespan depends on number of uses and temperatures selected.
“It is important to be vigilant and act as soon as this occurs.”
Hayes also reminded operators to ensure they dispose of used oil via a professional oil recycling company.
This was echoed by Steve Elliott, sales director for Valentine Equipment and Cuisinequip, who said used oil should be disposed of “responsibly, to a reputable collection service; never down the drain”. | <urn:uuid:aad5b5c9-f1f2-4b69-8c5b-96069255ee5b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sltn.co.uk/2017/02/16/the-right-oil-is-a-slick-manoeuvre/ | 2020-09-22T17:46:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.952605 | 636 |

Tehran Times – The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) will launch a campaign for the second time to solicit public donations to ease water stress in four provinces of the country.
Called Nazr-e Ab (literally meaning water donation), the campaign will start on August 1 and will run until September 11 in four provinces of Sistan-Baluchestan, South Khorasan, Kerman and Hormozgan aiming at soliciting water donations for the regions suffering severe water scarcity and people can participate with donating bottled water, water tanks or cash, nationwide.
It was first held last year (starting on August 5, 2018) in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan which went into trouble after Hamoun wetland drained and the rainless sky left many in dire need of drinking water.
The campaign has two main aspects; the first one centers on water supply issues including desalination of water, rehabilitation of qanats, improving wells and water quality, filtering and sanitation of reservoirs. And the second aspect focuses on health issues including health care services, free diagnosis, and etc., Mohammad Nasiri, head of the Red Crescent Society volunteer organization explained.
Last year, 800 billion rials (about $19 million) has been allocated in this regard by the benefactors, he added, IRNA reported on Saturday.
This year, also some water tanks will be installed in villages struggling with water shortages so that villagers can access clean drinking water day and night, in addition to distributing food packages and bottled water, he also said.
Although, the country has received above normal rainfall this year, some provinces still suffering water scarcity, he noted.
Based on the latest data published by National Drought Warning and Monitoring Center affiliated to Iran’s Meteorological Organization, since the current crop year (September 23, 2018), Iran has received 313.8 millimeters rainfall while the long-term averages are 225.7 millimeters which indicates that the country met above normal averages. However, last year during the same period, 160 millimeters of precipitation reported nationwide.
Precipitation in Sistan-Baluchestan province increased to 127.5 millimeters from 29.9 millimeters in the previous water year, demonstrating a 325.5 percent rise. The amount also raised in comparison to the long-term average of 112.5 mm, amounting to 13.3 percent.
Khuzestan province also experienced increased rainfall during this crop year, receiving 523.3 millimeters of rain while it reported to rain 204.1 millimeters in the previous water year, showing a 156.4 percent rise, while it also increased in comparison to the long-term mean of 319.3 mm.
But long-standing 20-year-old drought in the region is forcing many to have to provide their water from tank trucks delivering water to the areas. | <urn:uuid:f3979c8f-41da-44f9-b3cf-8f3c330bbc40> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://theiranproject.com/blog/2019/07/29/water-donation-campaign-aims-to-ease-drought-in-4-provinces/ | 2020-09-22T18:09:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.948556 | 591 |

What I’m about to share is pretty radical, but this is what has happened and what I’ve learnt from it and this is where I’m standing now because of it. I need to share this so others can learn from my mistakes.
In 2017 I had a terrible time of repeated psychiatric hospital admissions, similar to last year, I was suicidal and made many attempts on my life. It was a horrendous time.
In August 2017 I was discharged from hospital and had tickets to go to David’s Tent – a Christian worship event. I nearly cancelled as I’d been so poorly, but something inside so strong told me I really needed to go this weekend and I begged God to do something as surely if nothing changed for me – I would die! I begged him to change my brain so I would be able to live again.
So I went to David’s Tent – whilst being on the absolute brink. I worshipped and worshipped God despite being in intense emotional pain and despair and in desperation for my life. I prayed and worshipped like I’d never worshipped before.
Amazingly I got an incredible vision from God where I felt transported to His very throne room. I saw angels around the throne chair and blazing purifying fire around Him.
I tried to move forward in this vision to get closer to him but became aware of multiple heavy chains holding me back.
God then reached down with a blood red pair of scissors (I believe now to represent Jesus’s blood) and proceeded to cut each chain that represented something different from me. The chains included worrying about finances, worrying about a career, worrying about who I am, worrying about accomodation. All things that God then promised to always take care of for me. I could let all anxieties go. I then tried to move forward again but there was a huge chain coming out of my heart. I turned around to see the person who abused me attached to it. God said “you are in bondage to Him, you are letting Him control everything about your life. Would you like to be free from that now?” I said a big yes! And just like the other chains, God cut it from me. I was finally chain free and fell face down in front of God.
God then did the miraculous! He reached inside my brain and showed me my trauma brain – all files messed up and not in the right place. He simple said “would you like me to change that for you now?”. I said yes and he simply moved his hands and everything in my brain came together as it should be. All files back in the right place. A healed brain. He then said “don’t be like Lot’s wife, don’t look back”. That was the end of the vision.
After this I was healed for 18 months. I had no dissociation, no flashbacks, no nightmares, no suicidal thoughts, I felt more peace in my heart than I’ve ever known before. I had clarity, I was so well and so happy. But, I then went on to do what God had warned me not too… I looked back!
I started seeing a psychologist as my time on the long, long waiting list had come round. I should have cancelled my place after receiving my incredible miracle but I thought ‘just in case it comes back I should go’.. biggest mistake I’ve made. Everything got undone and I started dissociating again, awful thoughts came back and I spiralled. I was mentally unwell again and on NYE 2018 took a large overdose to end it all. Back into psychiatric units I went and the carnage started all over again, and this time ten times worse than before! It came back with vengeance.
It’s taken me a year to realise where I went wrong, actually, a year to accept that I went wrong! and I’m now back to living in the truth of what God has said over me and my life again. Thank goodness I’m back to the truth again!
The main thing I want to share, regardless of anyone’s faith, just don’t look back! The only way is forward from wherever you are. Looking back just causes sadness and regrets, over analysis, heartache. Learn from it! Absolutely! But don’t stay there. Be here in the present, today, and look up.
Just keep looking up! Not down or back. Just up and forward.

20-HETE, an arachidonic acid metabolite synthesized by cytochrome P450 4A, plays an important role in acute brain damage from ischemic stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage. We tested the hypothesis that 20-HETE inhibition has a protective effect after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and then investigated its effect on angiogenesis. We exposed hippocampal slice cultures to hemoglobin and induced ICH in mouse brains by intrastriatal collagenase injection to investigate the protective effect of 20-HETE synthesis inhibitor N-hydroxy-N′-(4-n-butyl-2-methylphenyl)-formamidine (HET0016). Hemoglobin-induced neuronal death was assessed by propidium iodide after 18 h in vitro. Lesion volume, neurologic deficits, cell death, reactive oxygen species (ROS), neuroinflammation, and angiogenesis were evaluated at different time points after ICH. In cultured mouse hippocampal slices, HET0016 attenuated hemoglobin-induced neuronal death and decreased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and ROS. In vivo, HET0016 reduced brain lesion volume and neurologic deficits, and decreased neuronal death, ROS production, gelatinolytic activity, and the inflammatory response at three days after ICH. However, HET0016 did not inhibit angiogenesis, as levels of CD31, VEGF, and VEGFR2 were unchanged on day 28. We conclude that 20-HETE is involved in ICH-induced brain damage. Inhibition of 20-HETE synthesis may provide a viable means to mitigate ICH injury without inhibition of angiogenesis.

Mercury in retrograde’s about to hit this month, starting from July 14th and ends Aug. 8th,2012. For those who believe in astrology, it works a bit like this; it’s both a time of reflection, and ‘Murphy’s Law’ in full effect. In other words, communication lines get crossed, so what can go wrong will.
Sometimes, right before merc in retrograde hits, you just might get a preview. Plans interrupted arguments and fights relating to misunderstandings, sometimes outright catastrophe. Yet it’s not all negative. As I’ve said before, during this time it could be used to reflect. Don’t be surprised that out of the blue, you’ll come into contact with someone from the past who you haven’t spoken to in years. Also, some of those unsolved conflicts that have knocked on your door have a chance to be resolved.
Enough of this mini-lesson. What this crash course about mercury in retrograde leads to is a chance to you show some of my relics. Not only does it bring back my personal teenage memories, they’re also pop culture artifacts. These buttons exhibits a part of NYC that is now long gone.
Back when I was growing up during the 80s, many teenagers flocked to the NYC area of Greenwich Village. West side, east side, 8th Street, Broadway, it really didn’t matter. It’s still the case now, but the popular shopping sites are significantly different. Back in the 80s, the trendier retail places gave away free buttons with every purchase. Hell, sometimes you didn’t even need to buy anything. Just go to the counter, stick your hand in the small hard plastic transparent box, and grab a handful of these badges. Afterwards, you would display your coolness by pinning these items onto your over-sized vintage overcoat, or on your army schoolbag. You would arrange these pins right along with your pop and post new wave band buttons. This was exactly what I did back in my freshman year of high school. This didn’t last long, as I progressed the next year into a full-fledged Siouxsie clone. My badges went from store promotion to the bands like The Cure, Specimen, etc.
Before I bore you with details, here’s a photo.
The stores listed before are no longer around. I’ll give you a brief breakdown about some of these places.
Flip was a clothing store located on west. 8th street. They specialized in selling new wave, punk, goth and glam rock threads. In fact, one of my first ever punk tees was purchased right here at this location.
Postermat was more of a novelty place. They sold all types of buttons, posters, tees, gag items. A bit like that Spencer’s chain store you see in the local mall nowadays. The buttons and pins were sold in the front of the store. They were stored behind glass counters as if they were precious goods. Two tiny black round controls when pressed, slowly spunk around the shelves inside. An army and navy store has taken its place.
Canal Jeans Co. survived for years, but eventually they shut their doors as well. This business was so successful at one point, they had two locations. The location on Canal Street is now one of the cheapest art supply stores known as Pearl Paint. The bigger store, located in the Soho area of Broadway sold both new, vintage, upscale and bargain merchandise. They shut down, very briefly re-opened for a hot minute on Broadway and Astor, and then closed for good in the early 2000s.
Canal Jeans Co. buttons had their iconic checkerboard background, in a variety of colors. Check the photo below:
Zoot was a vintage clothing store. Zoot wasn’t around that long, but it’s competition, Andy’s Chee-Pees, hung around for a while. Zoot was located on Broadway, Andy’s on West 8th street.
Unique hawked its wares all throughout the ‘80s, going out of business in the early ‘90s. Also known as Unique Boutique, the large space had a variety of different departments. You had graffiti artists spray painting on clothing, vintage duds, and when it was extremely fashionable, a huge selection of bright neon attire.
As for some other shops that’s been around for a while. Enz have opened and closed, and opened again. They’ve moved around to different locations so Enz doesn’t count. Ditto for Andy’s Chee-Pees. Even Patricia Fields moved from its prototype home on 8th street to the now trendy Bowery area. Probably the only store left from that era is Trash and Vaudeville. Still at the same location since the 1970s, and still going strong today.
Keep in mind, I didn’t even touch upon all the numerous record stores open around this time. I’ll touch upon that in another post.
Other types of businesses got into the badge marketing act. Check out this photo here. There’s MTV when they were known as a video music channel. WLIR was a Long Island based radio station that specialized (at the time) in New Wave, a tiny bit of Post-Punk, and imported UK Pop music. Then there’s the original Hard Rock Cafe. The first location in NYC was on West 57th, before they moved to the current location at Times Square. All three are still around today.
It’s a different time now. There’s the revitalized Brooklyn to contend with now. Trends have changed. Yet the ‘80s memories still stand. | <urn:uuid:8e8729d9-448b-44fe-8be5-df398a1bbe3f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://witchesbrewpress.org/2012/07/08/the-original-swag-1980s-retail-and-promotional-pins/ | 2020-09-22T17:27:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.973249 | 1,225 |

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER (2010)
By Oliver Goldsmith
Directed by Michael Hurst.
Produced by Auckland Theatre Company.
Charles Marlow, tongue-tied and uptight, needs a lesson in the art of love. He longs for a wife, but finds it easier to have a bit on the side. The barmaid seems fair game - but there's more to her than meets the eye.
With its outrageous mix of secret elopements and nocturnal confusions, Goldsmith's classic comedy has delighted audiences for over two centuries. | <urn:uuid:a3401e48-c89b-40e4-8468-9281e557ff2d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.arthurmeek.com/she-stoops-to-conquer.html | 2020-09-22T17:34:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.941437 | 123 |

Leverage Your Money and Watch it Grow
Reading time: 2 Minutes
October 29th, 2018
Hawaii's expensive real estate market can be intimidating, and many people believe that they are unable to purchase a home. They continue to pay rent, without building equity. Using leverage can bring Hawaii's expensive real estate market within reach. With today's low interest rates, mortgage payments have come closer to rent payments, especially as rents here have continued to rise.
Acquiring the American Dream
Leverage is a popular tool in real estate investing. Whether you are a first-time homeowner or an experienced investor, leverage may help you increase your wealth faster in a rising market.
Consider a $500,000 real estate purchase that requires a 20 percent down payment of $100,0001. For 20 percent of the cost of the property, the buyer can purchase a half million dollar home. If the $500,000 property appreciates 5 percent per year, the home's value will have increased to $525,000 in 12 months; an increase in real estate equity of $25,000.
On the other hand, if the homeowner used that same $100,000 and bought a smaller property for $100,000, in 12 months, with an appreciation of 5 percent, the home's value would have increased to $105,000; an increase in real estate equity of only $5,000. This illustrates how using leverage could increase your real estate equity at a faster pace, in this example, by $20,000.
Leverage Our Expertise
Leverage can help you purchase a home sooner, build net worth quicker and may offer tax benefits at the same time since most mortgage interest can be tax deductible, depending on your situation. Consult with your tax advisor to determine the deductibility.
It is important to understand that leverage works both ways since the real estate market does not always increase in value year to year. Determining the appropriate amount of leverage for your situation is important in real estate investing. In a declining market, the value of the real estate could even decline below the amount you owe your lender. Our experience in working with both homeowners and investors can assist you to wisely use leverage as a tool for your success.
The examples provided are for illustrative purposes only and not any indication of or prediction of growth or decline in the real estate market.
1. As of 6/26/17, the current APR of 3.537 percent for 30 years, with a 20 percent down payment the monthly principal and interest payment would be $442.10 per $100,000 borrowed. The payment does not include taxes and insurance and would be higher. Maximum loan amount is $636,150. Jumbo loans with higher loan amounts and other rates and terms are available. Subject to change without notice.

Studies suggest that eating more seafood is associated with a higher chance of becoming pregnant per cycle attempt and a higher frequency of intercourse.
Eight or more seafood servings per cycle, or about two servings per week not only improved various biological markers including sperm parameters, ovulation dynamics, embryo quality, and implantation, but also increased the number of times couples had intercourse. Researchers have found that 92% of couples who ate seafood twice a week were pregnant at the end of the year, compared to 79% among couples consuming less seafood. The daily odds of sexual intercourse were 39% higher when both partners consumed seafood on the same day, supporting the popular theory that seafood is an aphrodisiac. In the United States, the majority of fish consumed are not predatory fish. Predatory fish such as Sword-Fish, Mackerel and Sharks should not be included in a fertility diet due to the higher levels of environmental toxicants such as organochlorines, dioxins and mercury contained in these apex predators.
For more ways to increase your chances of becoming pregnant through what you eat, read the following blog posts: | <urn:uuid:a4aa4f3f-c7f5-41b7-a291-02cbe5dbc959> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.fertilitycenter.com/fertility_cares_blog/eating-more-seafood-is-associated-with-a-higher-chance-of-becoming-pregnant/ | 2020-09-22T18:58:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.96201 | 224 |
How to Make Perfect Popcorn
STORE kernels in an airtight container in a cool, dark place — not in the fridge, where they'll dry out. Kernels need moisture to pop.
COVER the pan loosely during popping; if the lid is tight, the steam inside will moisten the popcorn, and wet popcorn is no fun.
SALT the corn after it's popped; if you salt the kernels or oil beforehand, the popcorn won't turn out light and fluffy.
Try it: Perfect Stove-Popped Corn
1 cup air-popped corn = 31
1 cup oil-popped corn = 55
1 cup oil-popped corn with 2 teaspoons melted butter = 122
1/2 bag "light butter" microwave popcorn = 180
small movie-theater popcorn without butter = 400
small movie-theater popcorn with butter = 600
large movie-theater popcorn without butter = 1,160
large movie-theater popcorn with butter = 1,640
How to Make:
Theater-Style Butter Popcorn
Movie theaters use butter-flavored oil, which has a lower water content than butter so it makes popcorn less soggy. Real clarified butter has the same effect. To make it, melt 2 sticks butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Let sit for a few minutes; the butter will separate into 3 layers. Skim off the top layer of foam, then slowly pour the clarified butter into a heatproof container; discard the bottom layer of milk solids. Use 3 tablespoons hot clarified butter for 10 cups popcorn; refrigerate the rest (it's great for sauteing).
Boil 1/2 cup honey, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1/2 stick unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Toss with 10 cups popcorn. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes, checking often. Cool completely.
Homemade Microwave Popcorn
Place 1/4 cup unpopped kernels in a brown paper lunch bag. Tightly fold the top over a few times; microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the popping slows (the timing depends on your microwave).
TOP THIS! Mix up one of these spice combos to give your popcorn a twist:
Italian: dried oregano, dried basil, grated Parmesan cheese
British: sea salt, vinegar powder
Tex-Mex: chili powder, dark brown sugar
Asian: wasabi powder, sugar, sea salt
Indian: ground cumin, curry powder, fine salt | <urn:uuid:eadb8784-7720-433d-985e-5035926594f0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/articles/how-to-make-perfect-popcorn | 2020-09-22T18:50:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.850528 | 543 |

The June edition of HGV UK Online Magazine is now live and focuses on the ongoing crisis at Calais. First up the FTA is urging government action over the Calais migrant crisis, while the RHA is calling for military deployment at Calais.
The Road Haulage Association is urging the French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, to deploy the Military to restore law and order to the Calais area.
RHA chief executive Richard Burnett stressed the substantial loss to the UK economy and to the thousands of hauliers that cross the Channel on a daily basis since the summer of 2015.
Meanwhile, the Freight Transport Association (FTA), has urged the government to lobby the French authorities to protect drivers passing through the Calais area, following reports of increased migrant activity targeting lorries approaching the port.
According to driver reports, rubbish bins were placed on the entry to the Port of Calais on Sunday night (21 May), and vehicles were attacked with stones, as migrants attempted to board lorries travelling towards the port.
A Czech driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries, and police quickly dispersed the migrants involve. Local associations estimate that approximately 700 migrants have returned to the Port of Calais region, following the closure of the Jungle camp in October 2016. | <urn:uuid:c5e2f089-0097-4db1-a5a1-67fd7eec3686> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.hgvuk.com/hgv-uk-online-nagazine-now-live/ | 2020-09-22T17:15:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.960259 | 252 |

The upcoming Aquarius New Moon event occurs at 27° Aquarius at 2:05 PM MST. The eclipse is conjunct Juno, the Goddess of Marriage + the Feminine Arts, as well as Mercury, our Mind. Mercury is alive in Aquarius, but the eclipse does cast a shadow over it. There seems to be an awful lot of chatter going on in the internal landscape and a bit of negotiation, as well, and Juno encourages us to bargain for our best interests.
The South Node is squaring Pallas Athena, the Warrior Queen and Daughter archetype, who, in the sign of Taurus, perceives with the senses, moves a little slower, is more deliberate.
At this time, She puts us directly in touch with our fears and shows us that how COURAGE can grant us access to an unbelievable amount of MOTIVATION to help us push through this transition.
Vesta, the Goddess of the Sacred Flame, at 14° Sagittarius (conjunct the Great Attractor!) shows us an opening into a new solution to our dilemma, illuminating our path with clarity and conviction, which points to our Destiny, the North Node.
Here stands Ceres, the The Great Mother Goddess who figured prominently in the Leo Lunar Eclipse from two weeks ago, who seems to remind us once again that our moments of growth happen on the *heals* of loss.
At this eclipse point, happening on the south node in Aquarius, we are asked to make a choice about our future– what part of the past are we letting go of in the name of progress? | <urn:uuid:6e5f44e9-d80d-4b03-b0fe-395a257731f4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.manifestingwiththemoon.com/goddesstrology/aquarius-new-moon-solar-eclipse-the-four-main-asteroid-goddesses | 2020-09-22T18:36:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.929524 | 326 |
Just like in most other states throughout the United States, it is essential in Texas for pool owners to freeze guard their pool when the temperature dips below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit). We recommend freeze guarding your pool for a degree or two above 32-degree F, as that is the temperature when the water will freeze. As you may be able to guess, freeze guard means to protect your pool water from freezing during the winter. If your pool is not properly prepared for the drop in temperature, it could cause issues for pool equipment and plumbing. This is because when water freezes it expands to nine percent of its volume, which when you think about it is a lot!
While completely winterizing your pool isn’t necessarily needed in Texas, it is worth considering. There are many things that can happen during the winter that can cause damage to your pool or spa system, such as a power outage or below average temperatures (hello, snow!). Furthermore, when you are working with a pool and spa combo and you have an automation system, when it gets below a certain degree problems can ensue. This is because most pool automation systems are controlled by a pool actuator, which is the valve that is either connected to the pool automation system or a solar heating system. It is important to have an in-depth understanding of how to maintain your home swimming pool and keep it in great condition – regardless of whether it is summer or winter.
Let’s now look further at what you can do to keep your pool water from freezing throughout the winter:
- Freeze Guard Your Pool – As mentioned briefly above, freeze guarding your pool is one of the best ways to keep the water from freezing. All of Mid City Custom Pools come with a freeze guard, which means you can rest assured that your pool will be safe, should the temperature dip below 33 degrees. Our freeze guard feature allows pool and spa owners to set a desired temperature at which the pump and heater will automatically kick on, keeping the water circulating throughout the pipes. This also means less work for you, as you won’t have to worry about opening up the valves in the winter to check to see if the water froze.
- Consider Winterizing – Again, in most parts of Texas winterizing your pool isn’t an absolute must, but it is a good idea. In the event of a power outage or unexpected snow/ice storm, you will have peace of mind that your pool is protected from the dangerous low temperatures.
- Keep Up With Maintenance Year-Round – Finally, maintaining your swimming pool throughout the year is essential to preventing the water from freezing and staving off any other problems during the winter. Mid City Custom Pools aims to provide you with services and features (such as automation and freeze guard) that will keep you from having to maintain them on a daily basis. That being said, paying attention to the state of your pool and taking steps to protect it from the changing seasons is a must.
All of our pools come with a freeze guard feature and automation is sold separately. Please do not hesitate to ask us any questions you may have pertaining to protecting your pool during the winter and throughout the rest of the year. We want to make sure your pool is prepared for whatever Mother Nature has in store so that you won’t be stuck out in the cold trying to prevent your pool water from freezing!

Driving under the influence is one of the most oft-committed crimes in this area. In 2012, Cumberland County had 1,712 DUI cases filed, and there have been 1,315 filed so far for 2013. DUI is such a major component of the criminal justice system that Cumberland County’s “Central Court” is dedicated solely to this offense.
On Sept. 30, 2003, Pennsylvania’s legal limit for DUI was reduced from .10 to .08 blood alcohol content (or BAC). Along with that change came the use of “tiers” for DUI. The tier that a person is charged with can affect his or her sentencing, loss of license and eligibility for an Alternative Rehabilitation Disposition program.
Under the current law, a person cannot drive, operate, or be in "actual physical control" of a motor vehicle after drinking enough alcohol that he or she is incapable of safely operating the vehicle. This is the "general impairment" section of the law. In this same tier is a person who has a BAC of .08 to less than .10 percent within two hours of operating a vehicle.
A person convicted in this tier is subject to six months probation, a $300 fine and attendance at alcohol safety school. If a person has a prior DUI, this tier will result in a mandatory minimum five days in jail and a 12-month license suspension, in addition to other penalties. If the person has two or more prior DUIs, the jail time increases to a mandatory minimum of 10 days.
The second tier, "high rate of alcohol," is for those people who have a BAC of .10 to .159 percent within two hours of operating a vehicle. This tier also includes under-21 drivers caught operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .02 percent or greater and those charged with DUI where there was an accident resulting in bodily injury, death or property damage.
Finally, this tier includes a person operating a commercial vehicle (with a .04 percent or higher BAC); a school bus or school vehicle (with a .02 percent or greater BAC); or a commercial or school vehicle where the person has enough alcohol to be incapable of safe driving or is under the influence of a controlled substance.
With zero prior DUIs, a person in this tier will receive a mandatory minimum 48 hours in jail and a 12-month license suspension, along with other penalties. With one prior DUI, the mandatory minimum is 30 days in jail, and with two prior DUIs, the mandatory minimum is 90 days in jail. If a person in the high rate tier has three or more prior DUIs, the mandatory minimum prison sentence in one year.
The final tier is "highest rate of alcohol," and includes those people with a BAC of over .16 percent, those who refuse a blood alcohol test and those operating a vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance (i.e. drugs).
For a first offense, there is a mandatory minimum 72 hours in prison and a 12-month license suspension, along with other penalties. If there's a prior DUI, the mandatory minimum sentence is 90 days in jail, and an 18-month license suspension. With two or more prior DUIs, the mandatory minimum is one year in prison.
Most of the above tiers also include other consequences, such as attendance at alcohol safety school, treatment programs and the installation of an ignition interlock device.
The district attorney of the charging county can consider the acceptance of a person who is charged with DUI into the ARD program. In order to be considered, the person cannot have a DUI conviction or have entered ARD for a DUI within the last ten years. Additionally, if the current DUI resulted in serious bodily injury or death to a person other than the defendant, or if there was a passenger under 14 years old in the car, ARD is not an option.
If a defendant enters and completes the ARD program (which includes many responsibilities, such as a drug and alcohol evaluation, alcohol safety school, possible community service, etc.), his charge will be dismissed. Additionally, the license suspensions for ARD recipients are reduced: No license suspension for a BAC less than .10 percent, a 30-day license suspension for a BAC of .10 to .159 percent, and a 60-day license suspension for a BAC of .16 percent or greater. Additionally, if a minor is charged with DUI and completes the ARD program, his or her license suspension will be 90 days.
If a person loses his or her driver’s license as a result of a DUI, it's in his or her best interest to not get back behind the wheel. If that person is caught driving, with no drugs or alcohol in his or her system, he or she will be sentenced to a mandatory minimum 60 days in prison. The sentences get significantly worse for repeat offenses. This substantial penalty continues until the defendant has his or her licensed restored by PennDot.
Upcoming articles will review other DUI-related laws, such as homicide by vehicle while DUI. Stay tuned!

Most retailers understand the importance of promotional products. It was found that 83% of shoppers spend their time in supermarkets and hypermarkets, and 40% of consumer spending comes from unplanned and impulse purchases. Therefore, many marketers are trying their best to encourage unplanned purchases and get their consumers to bring their products to the checkout area. Fret not, read on as we will highlight some tips to select the best promotional products for families and target them in supermarkets.
When targeting families, it is crucial that the promotional products are kids friendly, and they will get their parents to make purchases for them when they see promotional toys. We can see many such examples through McDonald’s Happy Meal. Not only do the plushie collectibles appeal to children, but they also appeal to adults too, to relive their childhood. Moreover, some people will collect those merchandises to resell them for higher revenue.
Nowadays, consumers are more health-conscious and look out for products that are more beneficial to their health. Having promotional products that are less harmful to the human body can be a selling point for promotional merchandises. They are usually in the form of BPA-free products, fitness-related products like gym towels, gym bags, and even hand sanitisers. These health-related items attract those consumers who are health enthusiasts.
Who would be able to resist the temptation to say no to a functional bag that helps to keep their items in place? Having useful and capable storage bags are appealing to people who travel or exercise often. Nanobebe has effectively used storage bags as their promotional marketing gift to entice consumers to make more purchases and get their hands on the functional storage bag.
4. Summer and Outdoor Product
Given Singapore’s picturesque scenery, many people love to spend family time outdoors. Having picnics at Marina Barrage is what many families like to do over the weekends. What comes in handy during this cozy family time would be those items that are necessary for picnics—picnic mats, cooler bags, and wristlets. This kind of promotional items helps families to keep their belongings in place and having chilled beverages at picnics are ideal given Singapore’s hot weather.
More consumers are concerned about their carbon footprints due to the rising alarms of global warming. Thus, they are more into products and items that are reusable. Tote bags and metal straws are trending lately. Both Zespri and Esprit are riding on this environmental trend to upsell their products with sustainable promotional gifts. As 73% of millennials are willing to spend more money on environmentally friendly products, many companies are branding themselves as environmentally friendly and eco-friendly market their products to suit the needs of the millennials.
In conclusion, promotional marketing materials are useful when it comes to upselling. They can help to build the company image and establish the company reputation. When targeting families, those features mentioned above will increase the favourability of your products as compared to your competitors. Selling family-related products are made easy with targeted promotional marketing materials. If you are still unsure of what kind of promotional marketing materials that are suitable for your company, you may take a look at our past projects for more inspiration: Budweiser’s Customised Jersey for World Cup 2018, SilkAir’s Pilot & Stewardess Baby Romper, and MILO Van Kaki Collectibles. | <urn:uuid:8791b127-b456-4f9b-b284-106cfc428172> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.prestigepremiums.asia/5-tips-for-selecting-the-best-promotional-products-for-families/ | 2020-09-22T18:21:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.965733 | 691 |

WHEN YOU INVEST YOUR CAPITAL IS AT RISK
Keep an eye out : I love Freetrade – So I’ve decided to create a new section on my blog covering my Freetrade investment journey – the shares I buy; the things I’ve learnt along the way and a regular update on the performance of my portfolio!
So recently I have started to dabble in the stock market and buy a few shares. I’m no Wolf of Wall Street but the lockdown in the UK has meant I have had more time on my hands to research and understand a little more about how the stock market operates and how I can get more involved.
I have been using the Trading 212 app for most of my share buying as I downloaded it first and never really felt the need to try anything else. But a few weeks ago I was told about another app called Freetrade which I have now downloaded and have begun using at the same time as trading 212.
And I’m starting to really like the Freetrade app! Pretty sure this is the future of share dealing at least for me anyway! The app is fantastic and so easy to use. And for some reason it makes buying shares fun. And ones of the best bits is if you use a Freetrade share referral link like those listed above you get a free stock worth up to £200 which is amazing 🙂
It’s not quite as simple as Trading 212 for referring your friends and family as you only get one invite which can only be used ONCE and it lasts 7 days before expiring. If you want another you need to request it. But there are two advantages over the trading 212 referral scheme. If you are popular and lots of friends you quickly reach the the 20 free shares limit on Trading 212. I have not seen anything to say there is a limit to the number of people you can invite on Freetrade although the single use invites means it is much more difficult to refer multiple friends and hit the limit. The second benefit is that the shares can be anywhere between £3-£200 in value which is more than trading 212.
Unfortunately unlike Trading 212 most of my free shares so far have been very low value as per screenshots above 🙁 You can see I have purchased some shares in Lloyds which was my first purchase on Freetrade when I was getting to know the app. I have purchased quite a few shares since then which are further up in the screenshot. Keep an eye out for an article in the next few weeks detailing my holding and how I am doing… I’d love to take you on my investment journey as I think this will be where I will be putting my savings over the coming years.
The biggest benefit of using Freetrade is you can buy whatever shares in whatever quantity you want without incurring commission charges. Previously buying shares meant spending large amounts paying the commission charges for every trade completed. This is where Freetrade is different. There are no commision fees to pay! :-). I like buying a few cheap shares in different company’s so it helps that they don’t charge these fees. The comparison table should give you an idea on the fees compared to some of their direct competitors.
Remember for an added bonus if you use my Freetrade referral link above you get a FREE SHARE worth upto £200. I have already referred a few friends and received shares ranging from £3 – £36 . Okay maybe not quite £200 but they are FREE.
You can use my Freetrade invite links above to take part in the FREETRADE SHARE PROMOTION but make sure you only use the link if you care going to complete registration and deposit funds as these links are one use only.
If none of the links are available please leave a comment and I will get the links refreshed 🙂
Keep an eye out for further blog posts as are post my share buying journey for a complete newbie to see how I do over the coming months.

It's ten in the morning and the Little Haiti Cultural Complex is buzzing with energy. Wande Coal and DJ Tunez-Iskaba play through the speakers, and vendor tents are lined up with tables decorated with coconuts and mangos. The smell of vegan Caribbean food tingles your nose. The women serving smile brightly, their hair tightly pulled back under their Ankara head wraps.
For the people in Little Haiti, this is the energy that surrounds the bright-colored Caribbean Marketplace at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex every weekend. But for others who have never ventured into the area, it's a piece of Miami relatively undiscovered.
Many of the visitors are waiting at the entrance of the market, and improvised photo shoots are happening in front of a small bus. The words "Ti Ayiti Tap~Tap" are painted across the roof, and the body depicts a picturesque landscape of Haiti with palm trees, a map of the country, a woman with a basket atop her head, and three bolded words that shout a testament, "HAITI WITH LOVE!"
Abraham Metellus, the director of the Little Haiti Cultural Complex, has been manifesting this vision of cultural bus tours of his Little Haiti neighborhood for years.
Metellus said he was bothered by the responses he received from significant tour bus operators in South Florida when he would propose the idea, so he decided to do it himself, with the help of his community and the resources around them. Each Saturday in July, the bus tours are free and open to the public. (Tours will continue throughout the rest of the year, with a TBD ticket price attached.) The response, he says, has been overwhelmingly positive.
"I would send emails, visit in person, and even create marketing collateral to try to convince these tour operators to come to Little Haiti. I was often told that tourists aren’t interested in Little Haiti or Little Haiti isn’t as popular as Wynwood, and it would frustrate me. I had to prove that Little Haiti was worth visiting. Through a collaboration with the Community Marketing Agency, we were able to launch the Little Haiti Tap Tap Project," Metellus said.
The first tour brought out 21 people, and attendance has increased ever since, with word spreading on social media and online. Metellus says many people don't know the stories behind landmarks like the Caribbean Marketplace and Toussaint Louverture monument, or that Little Haiti has Earth N Us Farm, where visitors can rent a treehouse and see farm animals.
"Right now, what excites me is that we have proof of concept and we know that it can be done. As Haitians, we are very resilient, and we realize that if major tour operators don't come to Little Haiti, then we have to create the experience ourselves. Without the support of Sandy Dorsainvil, Libreri Mapou, City of Miami Parks, International Express Services, Dr. Alphonse G. Dufreny and the community, we wouldn’t have been able to see this vision come to life," Metellus said.
The project is an initiative to invite the community to enjoy the Caribbean Marketplace and support the local economy. It's also a way for the story and history of the neighborhood to be told with dignity and respect from the people who live in and represent Little Haiti. Metellus also enlisted the help of a HistoryMiami tour guide.
"A bus was donated for the initiative and local artists Serge Toussaint and Gilbert were able to paint it to make it look like the buses in Haiti. Once the bus was painted, everyone loved it so much that they ended up taking pictures in front of it and it became viral," he recalls. "Then I connected with Jean Cidelca, who is a current student at FIU and an expert tour guide, and I asked him if he would be willing to give free bus tours in July to help promote the culture and the community. He agreed, and we created the Eventbrite link, and within three days it was completely booked."
Somara Jacques, who attended the free tour with her friends last week, said the Tap Tap tour helped her reconnect with her Haitian roots. She was raised in the United States after her parents brought her here at the age of 2.
"We grew up in the Midwest, so my parents thought it best not to teach us our native language [of] Creole. They wanted us to fit in and blend in. They were afraid of what the consequences would be for us if we did not," Jacques said. "I learned about the history of Haiti, the mass exodus of Haitians from the island in the '80s, and about all of the rich culture of Little Haiti, formerly known as Lemon City. I am a proud Haitian, a proud naturalized American citizen, and an extremely lucky person. I thank my mom and dad every day for leaving the only home they knew and their families, to allow my brother, sister, and me the opportunity to have a better life here and also give me a culture, a heritage, and a rich tradition that I am proud of and learned a lot more about today."
Little Haiti Bus Tour. 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, July 21 and Saturday, July 28, starting at Caribbean Marketplace, 5925 NE Second Ave., Miami;littlehaiticulturalcenter.com. Admission is free via Eventbrite. | <urn:uuid:1b8b6b4b-9fe8-4996-aa1b-1ee0eedf1bb3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.roamfreewrites.com/post/free-little-haiti-bus-tours-connect-riders-with-the-community-s-roots | 2020-09-22T16:30:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.973362 | 1,121 |
Rogge Cloof Conservation Blog Episode 2
Supplementary Feeding in times of drought
Our animals are extremely important to us, and with this drought still gripping the area hard, we have to strive to keep them as healthy as possible by supplementing their diets. Our routine is quite simple at the moment, but will become more structured as time goes by and we learn about what is best for the animals here.
We have observed that the smaller antelope, like the springbok, seem to be doing quite well, despite the supposed paucity of resources. As always, nature finds a way. In former times, however, the larger mammals needing much more food, would have migrated in times like these, in search of better resources. Being an enclosed protected area, this is not possible. We then have to provide the animals with what they need to remain healthy. It is a tricky balancing act with regards to being financially sustainable and productive.
We feed our animals Lucerne as a supplement to whatever natural fodder they can find. But it isn’t as simple as throwing down bales and leaving them for the animals to find. One must take into account the natural habitat of certain animals, some are water dependent; some will almost never venture near it. Also, the Lucerne itself is almost completely dry, and so water must be provided in order for the animals to be able to make up the water they would usually get from the plants they eat.
After a few months of feeding the animals, some have become very aware of the team bringing food into the veld; the eland especially being very receptive, trotting forward towards the vehicle as we throw down bales. It’s become quite a spectacle for us!
We have been seeing a number of the antelope species having offspring at the moment, which gives us hope that they must be finding enough to thrive, hopefully we can keep it that way. Keep your fingers crossed! | <urn:uuid:fd930f18-ec76-481c-8f99-7fa84d8d7af7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.roggecloof.com/blog/post/rogge-cloof-conservation-blog-episode-2/ | 2020-09-22T16:15:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.975873 | 401 |

Black Lives Matter
Washington, D.C. (June 6, 2020) – Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) President Mark Shriver issued the following statement, reflecting upon the past week when millions of Americans have rallied together to make their voices heard and to take a stand against racial injustice:
“SCAN mourns the tragic, senseless killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Manuel Ellis and the countless others who have lost their lives due to unrelenting racial injustices. We stand in proud solidarity with the Black community and all those who have suffered from the hate and racism that is far too present in America today.
As an advocacy organization dedicated to improving the lives and opportunities of children, we believe no child should grow up in fear that they themselves, their parents, uncles, aunts, siblings and friends could be killed because of the color of their skin.
One of SCAN’s founding principles is that all children should have access to high-quality early childhood education that begins at birth and carries them through kindergarten. Yet, research by the National Black Child Development Institute has shown that Black children do not have equal access to high-quality early education and are suspended or expelled from programs at higher rates than any other race. That is unacceptable, and we will do more to address those disparities. We owe it to Black children, their families and our future.
We do not have all the answers, but we are dedicated to learning, listening and adapting. As an organization fueled by grassroots advocates, we will provide anti-racism training for staff and advocates. SCAN believes Black lives matter.
On Thursday, Reverend Al Sharpton powerfully eulogized George Floyd, speaking of the strength of grassroots organizations and movements, such as the movement sweeping across the country right now. SCAN joins this movement and marches in solidarity with the Black community, particularly Black children and their families, as well as our Black colleagues and volunteers.
To paraphrase Reverend Sharpton, ‘time is out’ for making excuses, for empty words and empty promises. SCAN remains committed to working with our advocates and coalition partners to fight injustice and racism in the early education system.”

Save the Children Action Network was created in 2014 as the political advocacy arm of Save the Children, to be the political voice for kids. We work to ensure that the issues critical to children’s lives and futures are given top priority by our elected leaders, building bipartisan support to make sure every child has a strong start in life.

Based on a Ancient greek myth, someone called Narcissus witnessed his shadow using a swimming pool of water and was mesmerized on what high-quality it appeared,
. He fell crazy about it such a lot of he could not generate himself to cease appreciating it up to the point he passed away at the end to the swimming pool. Narcissism is overvaluing one’s capability, when it comes to potential, wonder, or even just mental prowess. Based on the State Wellbeing Product (NHS), “a personality issue is a disorder that imposes somebody to be different drastically from a common individual with respect to perception,a feeling and thinking, or possibly in common interaction with others.” This report explores the fundamental top features of narcissistic nature problem.
Sigmund Freud attributed narcissism dysfunction to the growth of self-good sense or ego. He argues that toddlers are given birth to without worrying about the significant sense of personal. As boys and girls talk with the recent natural world, they recognize that the modern culture includes some goals that its subscribers are supposed to observe. The capacity to stay with the social presumptions draws in popularity and admiration in the neighborhood. One can find unfortunately individuals who are can not obtain the amount of social objectives. Freud argues that inability to obtain the social targets will cause the overdevelopment of a sense of personal. Freud’s idea of narcissism was expounded by Heinz Kohut as he mentioned that these lack of success of people to attain the societal presumptions drove individual’s personal-well worth off. In an attempt to handle for any minimal personal-actually worth, consumers reduce the emotions of reduced confidence and make a excellent self-appearance as a form of security tool. Folks with narcissism identity problem demonstrate the subsequent outlined elements.
Nearly all of narcissists exhibit the type of overstated self-usefulness. The community desires people to guidance each other well out in issues of lifespan, and therefore, a narcissist will as an example attempt to aid someone to secure and protected job, when a great narcissist is within-hired, or jobless. He helps make the task that may help some people, so that you fulfill the popular requirements to the modern culture of searching for each other. When going over a topic that is unfamiliar with the narcissist, sometimes they have most to provide, no matter if it seems sensible or otherwise. Their issue requires you to prove the fact that they know precisely what a person ought to know. In the event, that they are confronted judging by their cerebral material, the narcissist sometimes imply that they are not being understood since human beings facing them are much less great as ourselves.

Whenever the fictional character Popeye the Sailor Man managed to down a can of spinach, the results had been almost instantaneous: he gained superhuman energy. Yeah, as a crash diet I might positively see this working, however it’s definitely not a long term factor. The traditional Mediterranean weight-reduction plan is characterized 2 by high consumption of greens, fruits and nuts, legumes, and unprocessed cereals; low consumption of meat and meat products; and low consumption of dairy merchandise (except the long-preservable cheeses). Patients view the Mediterranean diet as tastier and more filling than low-fat diets, which leads to elevated lengthy-time period compliance.
Just ending week three. Still on the diet (strictly and precisely) for three days and exercising every other day doing cardio and weights. Our outcomes also level to potential benefits from adhering to a Mediterranean dietary sample for sufferers chronically contaminated with hepatitis viruses. Harvard created its own pyramid in response to the rising considerations over the USDA’s. These are at the base of the pyramid to suggest that these meals must be the basis each meal.
The Mediterranean weight loss program could be adopted by most people who already eat a typical American or Western weight-reduction plan; merely slicing down on parts and together with healthier choices for fats is the mainstay of this food regimen, and there are many recipes out there to maintain you motivated. If you discover you are gaining weight on this plan, revisit your whole calorie intake, and make some cuts.
Olives themselves are an historical food, and olive timber have been rising around the Mediterranean region since about 3,000 B.C. Most meals included within the Mediterranean eating regimen are fresh and seasonal somewhat than highly processed. The large study finished in Spain tells individuals they can eat a balanced food plan with fruits, vegetables, and olive oil (or seeds and nuts) and decrease coronary heart illness by 30 p.c.

The leader of a small group of Edmonton academics who have tutored Omar Khadr since his time in Guantanamo Bay says he is a gifted student with a curious mind that will serve him well if he eventually studies at a tiny Christian university as planned under the terms of his release.
In the fall of 2008, Arlette Zinck, who teaches English at King's University, which Mr. Khadr proposes to attend, and a handful of other professors began helping the young man learn math and science and study Canada's geography and literature.
Spurred on by an impassioned plea from Mr. Khadr's lawyer Dennis Edney at her university earlier that year, Ms. Zinck reached out to Mr. Khadr through letters and soon was allowed to begin teaching him.
His first assignment was a book report on Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone, a memoir of a child soldier in Sierra Leone.
"He wrote me a lovely book report that looked remarkably like a legal brief with numbered paragraphs," she recalled in an interview on Thursday. "He hadn't gone to school since Grade 8 or before, and what did he see on a regular basis? Well, legal documents."
Ms. Zinck and the group of about 15 other academics mapped out a curriculum using Canadian literature as the backbone to teach a range of academic subjects. The course started on the West Coast with John Vaillant's The Golden Spruce and ended on the East Coast with Anne of Green Gables, Ms. Zinck said.
In between, Rudy Wiebe's Peace Shall Destroy Many, a tale of Mennonites in Manitoba trying to hold onto their traditions, resonated most with Mr. Khadr, she said. Mr. Wiebe has become friends with Mr. Khadr, Ms. Zinck said.
Ms. Zinck testified before the United States military commission in 2010 at Mr. Khadr's sentencing, where she described his growth as a student. There she met briefly with him for the first time and returned to Guantanamo twice, in the spring and summer of 2012.
Mr. Khadr told a prison psychologist last February his shift away from the ideology of his upbringing with al-Qaeda was gradual, but depended a great deal on interacting with visitors like Ms. Zinck. | <urn:uuid:12fd030f-dd35-4d44-9be7-d5c4b123caa8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/omar-khadr-received-an-education-free-of-redactions/article24325901/ | 2020-09-22T17:37:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.977929 | 468 |

2020 marks the 20th year of the Elgin Open Gardens! This year 8 gardens will open in the Elgin district over two weekends to benefit local charities. These are Auldearn, Fresh Woods, Lavenham, Houw Hoek Outspan, Keurbos and Sonop, The Stone Kitchen and Wildekrans. They range from large established country gardens to very young, recently planted gardens on farms and smallholdings, all in a setting of great natural beauty an hour’s drive from Cape Town.
This year, as Fresh Woods celebrates its 30th continuous year of opening, we welcome a new garden-in-progress, Sonop, which Jessie Walton has been designing and planting over some years. The garden is set on a series of contours on a steep hillside overlooking a lake, so the views are stunning. It is planted entirely with wild South African plants, with some very special varieties among them.
A number of gardens will have plants for sale, and some such as Keurbos and Fresh Woods will be offering unusual and interesting plants difficult to find elsewhere, such as Japanese maples, rhododendrons and other choice perennials, trees and shrubs. Sadly, Fairholme will not be open again but we thank Duncan and Liz Henderson for their many years of loyal support.
Covid-19: Although we hope that by November the pandemic will be mainly over, it may be that the gardens will need to take extra measures to keep people safe. These will be announced on this website and on our Instagram site.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi
In my work in a 12 step program of recovery we are taught the importance of being of service to others. I’d say the cause of my addictions and all my suffering was the result of self-serving obsession. I was driven by money, sex, power, prestige and nothing was ever enough. I was miserable. I coped with my misery with vices that became addictions. When I surrendered to a program and started to heal I was bombarded by people who were where I was and extended their help to me. I am here today because of the love, support and service others gave to me. I am blessed at the opportunity to be of service to others.
When I came up with the GREAT acronym (Gratitude, Recognize Negativity, Excitement, Action, and Thanks) I was doing volunteer service at a homeless shelter in Santa Monica. The workshop was titled How to Have a GREAT Day. I loved doing the workshop for that audience. I was inspired by the optimism of my participants. Every time I ended a workshop as the participants exited the classroom they would smile and tell me “Have a great day.” I couldn’t help but think of how wonderful my day had been by being able to serve them.
Today my GREAT framework has evolved and is the basis for a book that I hope to get published. It is the model that I use in my coaching work and hope it will be the platform to do speaking engagements and workshops. The model had transformed my life. Today the vision for my life is to share what I’ve learned with others. In my vision I hope to change the meaning of the word GREAT. I want to teach people how to be GREAT; how to be a GREAT leader; how to be a GREAT parent; how to be a GREAT friend. I want to teach people how to have a GREAT day, and by doing this I want people to look back on a GREAT LIFE. I want people to help others be GREAT. Maybe one day people will know me as that GREAT guy… long after I’m gone I want a GREAT LIFE to help my Nephews children and God willing my children and grandchildren live a GREAT LIFE.
I love my life and don’t take any aspect of it for granted. Yes it could be better. I could be dating the love of my life, I could be earning more money, I could be living in the home of my dreams. But is there anything better than being of service to others? My life is a blessing and a miracle. My life has meaning as long as there is someone I could offer my time, some advice, a shoulder to cry on, an encouraging word, or even just a smile. Service has saved my life. The service others have offered me, and in my finding purpose to my life in serving others. | <urn:uuid:2f43c6ce-d4b1-490e-8bb5-7e871d9f851b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://greatlifedaily.com/god-show-me-how-i-can-be-of-service-today/ | 2020-09-24T00:43:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.982903 | 611 |

Rebounding from a loss in overtime against defending champion Iran the previous day, Taiwan locked down Malaysia with a strong defense, limiting opponents' field goals to 28 percent and jumping out in front with a 39-18 halftime lead.
"I am pleased about the way we played defense throughout, " said Taiwan head coach Huang Wan-lung after the match.
Eleven Taiwanese players played in the lopsided game as Huang tried to gave his bench more playing time, saying that he felt the team lost to Iran "because the bench lacked experience."
Chien Wei-ju scored a team high of 20 points, while Hu Lung-mao added 16 points, bringing Taiwan to one win and one loss in Group A of the competition.
Sixteen participating teams in the biennial tournament are pooled in groups of four in the preliminary round. The top three teams in each of the four groups will advance to the second round, where they will be divided into groups of six teams each.
Taiwan ranked ninth in 2008 and finished fourth in 2006. | <urn:uuid:11c297b2-873f-4158-b077-eebb56c396e4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.taiwanhoops.com/2010/09/fiba-asia-u18-taiwan-routs-malaysia.html | 2020-09-24T02:15:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.971489 | 213 |

Christopher Orr—The Atlantic:
we appear to be in the midst of a new, and altogether different, shift in the genre—you might even call it a backlash—which may well provide a more sustainable model for superhero movies to come. As the saying goes: first time tragedy, second time farce. Experiments in supercomedy are taking place with increasing frequency, and meeting with considerable success. The various studios currently churning out stories of flying heroes and masked vigilantes are at different points in their evolution from drama to comedy. But in the steadily growing genre, they are all trending in that direction.
Not all. Black Panther, though not without its humorous moments, was no Deadpool, or even a Thor: Ragnarok.
That said, these screenplays appear to come in two variants; high-brow a la the Dark Knight trilogy and its like, and low-brow: Deadpool, Suicide Squad, and arguably Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel. Check that. Deadpool was basically no-brow.
How the viewer responds is a function of whether he or she drank the Cool-Aid, in which case all are near-equally terrific, or has a taste for one of the brows. Sometimes there’s a pleasant surprise for fans of the more grim variety of superhero story, like Ant-Man and Guardians.
Color me high-brow. I’d rather one epic Dark Knight trilogy and no more comic-world films than suffer through stories trending toward potty humor for audience titillation.
If you’re a comics-derived film fan, this article was a good read on the state of the industry, regardless of how you take your humor. | <urn:uuid:c82c274a-3b42-45a0-b76b-cbb38bb3572d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://arandomstroll.com/2018/02/20/how-superhero-movies-became-escapist-fun-again/ | 2020-09-24T02:21:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.941677 | 346 |
Even if this won’t be home much longer. The weekend wore me out. Must have worn Ali out too, since the last two nights she’s slept 12-14 hours. Either that or she’s figured out that the cold is setting in and a warm bed is the place to be! So, Friday we drove about five hours, half on mountain roads. I get car sick but was driving….and could still feel it! Poor Billie was in the back seat of Tony’s car so as to be close to Ali and she was miserable. Friday night we drove in to Tillamook so get groceries as Fred Meyer and had McD’s for dinner. Saturday we walked on the beach a little in the morning (it rained the WHOLE weekend – not a surprise) and then through "downtown" Rockaway. Mostly antique shops, candy stores, and little diners. Ali was a big hit and we told a couple people we were moving there and were welcomed very warmly. One lady heard we were coming from Seattle and warned up we’d have to slow down. Um, no duh. I’d noticed.
Then we drove back to Tillamook to visit the infamous Tillamook Cheese Factory. Same as when we were there over swpring break, the cheese was not in production. Apparently that’s only Mon-Fri. We still got some samples, bought some cheese and some ice cream. Then we drove through town to do a little exploration of the nearest city(?), population 4000. In the evening my mom and Alyssa came over (about a two hour drive from Portland), we went through a lot of the stuff that had accumulated in the ten years we’ve had the house. For example, more board games and puzzles then anyone could ever utilize, random sweatshirts, socks, and underwear, etc. They cleared they stuff out and took it for a rummage sale Alyssa is having next weekend to raise money for her upcoming mission trip to Germany. My mom also brought a ladder and jimmied up onto the roof (wet, slick, and scarily steep) to put some goo stuff on the skylight that leaked all last winter and is probably causing the framework to rot.
Sunday we came home. We stopped briefly in Seaside for lunch and to score some taffy from the Buzz (the best taffy EVER). We got home about six or so. It was a long weekend and I think I’m still recovering. We’re down to about two weeks with SO MUCH to do. Also, school started last week so I’ve added two online classes to the mix. Luckily they’re pretty applicable; Human Growth and Development, and Time and Stress Management. Check out the album titled "Rockaway" for more pics. | <urn:uuid:c5002655-45f7-4772-bef8-6f843bffd30c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ashleylewiscarroll.com/2007/10/02/glad-to-be-home/ | 2020-09-24T01:48:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.976794 | 594 |

The modern person is in constant motion. Family and professional duties often keep us on our feet from early morning until late in the evening. In addition, increasingly more people are choosing to introduce regular physical activity into their lives, which sometimes involves intensive, exhausting training. A physically demanding lifestyle is a huge challenge for our musculoskeletal system, which is exposed to overload and damage through excessive effort.
Rapidly occurring processes of joint damage, combined with lack of time for their proper regeneration, are the cause of arthrosis, i.e. degenerative joint disease, which affects an increasing number of people, also those at a young age. It involves the destruction of cartilage, which when left untreated leads to its rapid breakdown and, as a result, the occurrence of irregularities in the movement of joint surfaces. It most often occurs in the elderly, as well as professional athletes and physical workers, performing repetitive activities that put a strain on a specific group of joints.
The disease may also be the result of other conditions such as congenital dysplasia, hormonal disorders, or chronic arthritis. Excess weight and a sedentary lifestyle are also factors that increase the risk of arthosis and negatively affect the processes in the joints. Osteoarthritis significantly deteriorates our quality of life, causing pain and inflammatory responses. In order to reduce the risk of arthrosis, in addition to paying attention to our lifestyle, it is recommended to support our musculoskeletal system by providing it with valuable compounds, which can be found in the Flexa Plus Optima preparation.

In addition, unlike other preparations that only provide temporary effects, Flexa Plus Optima supports the process of the reconstruction of articular cartilage, which makes it possible to ultimately inhibit the process of joint degeneration.
Who is Flexa Plus Optima intended for?
Flex Plus Optima is intended for individuals experiencing discomfort in the form of pain, a feeling of stiffness, restricted movement or crackling in the joints, which are often caused by deficiencies in essential components. The use of the preparation can be introduced both at the first noticeable symptoms and at an advanced stage of the disease. Flex Plus Optima, thanks to its high effectiveness, can be used during the process of treating osteoarthritis of the joints under the supervision of a specialist.

Just for a change this morning, it was raining! Not the drizzly stuff of yesterday, but downright pissing down.
Work was interesting this morning, a more unusual problem to solve, so it flew by. It’s only half day on Fridays, which is brill – makes a lovely long weekend!
I stopped off at Cockermouth on the way home to visit my friend Barbara, who has just moved into a new house. What a fab house it is too! A huge conservatory, massive kitchen and even an en- suite bathroom… She was lucky to find it and I think she and her husband will be happy there. She made a sandwich for us and we had a good old natter. Called into Sainsburys in Cockermouth for a few bits before heading home.
Being later home, I was late taking Archie for his afternoon walk, and what a grumpy boy he was.
It was raining so heavily that it took me a while to get togged up in all the waterproof gear. Meantime, Archie was getting impatient and started singing, in his excited little high pitched voice…
Full of himself, he started chewing on his lead at the gate. It was a wet walk indeed, the lovely autumn leaves that should have been crunching and rustling underfoot were soggy, slippery and starting to rot. Water inches deep covered most of the tracks and the fields we crossed were squelching, muddy and dirty.
But I still enjoyed the walk, the best thing being how quiet it was. Half term over, all the people have gone, so it’s probably the best time of year for peace and quiet!
Back to grumpy Archie. About half an hour into the walk we met a woman with two black Labradors. Now Archie is usually very well behaved with other dogs, but for some reason he’s always hated back labs. I haven’t a clue why, but he just doesn’t like them! So, before I could get him on his lead, he launched himself at one of these dogs, snarling and barking. Took me a few minutes to get him to walk on, when normally he will greet a dog, tail wagging, do a few circuits with the other dog, sniffing and greeting, then walk on happily. The woman wasn’t overly impressed, but there was no harm done, it was all noise and bluster.
Then later in big wood, he suddenly launched himself off the track into the trees. Thinking it was a deer, I didn’t react. He always chases deer if they run, but they’re too fast for him! However, when I saw a chap walking towards me, I realised that he had a dog that was being chased by Archie. Suddenly a huge German Shepherd cam hurtling out of the wood, with Archie in hot pursuit, snapping and growling…
The massive dog, was squealing in fright, though it was about three times the size of Archie. This time, he did at least listen to me and stopped the chase when told. The chap was ok about it, but god knows why Archie had got himself into such a grump today…
The rest of the walk passed uneventfully, after he’d had a talking to. Got home, soggy and muddy, dried him down and had a snuggle up on the sofa with a book and a lovely cup of tea.
I probably won’t get the diary blog done for the next couple of days as I’m off to Birmingham in the morning to man the stands at the ICHF show at the NEC.

It has been two years since I last published a post offering some statistics for the South African craft beer scene. That piece has become the second most-viewed post ever published on the blog, not least – I suspect – because stats for South African craft beer are so hard to come by. There is an official market study on its way, but earlier this year I sent out a survey to the brewers with a view to getting a better idea of what’s happening in the industry.
The survey was conducted in October 2018, with the Google forms link sent out to 211 breweries and contract brewers across the nine provinces. The response rate was better than I expected at 54.5%. The respondents were an excellent representative sample both geographically and in terms of production volumes and I am confident that the results are a fairly accurate representation of the wider industry.
The Western Cape remains the hub when it comes to craft beer in South Africa with the majority of the country’s breweries – around half – found in the province. However, growth has seriously slowed down in the past year. Taking closures into account, brewery numbers almost stagnated in the Western Cape ths year, with the total number growing by just two (compared to 15 in 2017 and 25 in 2016). This was a trend across the country. In previous years we had seen brewery numbers rise year on year by up to 43%, which also accounted for closures. From 2016 to 2017 this figure dropped to 20%. In 2018, the growth rate was below 2%.
This year has indeed been a difficult one, with multiple closures as well as brands quietly disappearing from our shelves, seemingly gone forever. Contract brewers, who make up around 20% of all beer brands in South Africa, appear and disappear with alarming speed. Breweries that are surviving often report production figures that show they are operating at around 50% of their total capacity. So what is going wrong? When asked “What is your biggest challenge as a craft brewer?”, the most prominent problem reported was distribution and real estate, with almost a third of respondents citing these as the biggest challenge. Responses included “Getting more outlets to sell at”; “finding new revenue streams or fighting for tap space”; “Sales without a pub”; “Getting into the market”; “Finding tap space in bars, and being able to afford the cost of installations” and “Outlets not owning their own taps.”
These weren’t the only challenges of course. The lack of a cold chain was a recurrent theme, as was consumer education and growing the customer base (“Getting non craft beer drinkers to change over to craft and to accept the price difference”; “Converting people from conventional lagers”; “Converting middle age to drink craft”.) Licencing issues, red tape and excise were also recurrent themes as was the economic climate in South Africa, the weak rand and the problems that that brings, particularly with a high number of breweries importing ingredients. And a number of respondents cited the difficulty in competing on price with larger producers, whether that was AB InBev/Heineken or larger craft breweries.
So what sells?
But it’s not all bad news. One of the most surprising aspects of the survey was seeing which beers the South African drinker is buying. Of course it came as no shock that pale lagers remain the most popular style – 34.8% of respondents said that their biggest seller fell into this category. But pale ales – not blondes – came in second (20%), and most pleasing of all, 11% of respondents said that their biggest selling beer was an IPA. This shows a real maturation of the market, with drinkers moving to more flavourful, less familiar beers.
Unfortunately, I was unable to get a reliable figure on just how much craft beer is being produced in South Africa. This was largely my fault due to a badly worded question that saw some people giving the figure in litres and others in hectolitres; some giving data for the previous tax year and others for the tax year that is still in progress. After working with the data, the best I can come up with is that craft beer still accounts for less than 1% of the total beer production in South Africa.
Who is producing it?
Just over 12% of respondents said that they don’t have any employees at the brewery. These were split between contract brewers (eight of the 14 respondents) and very small, often family-run setups (six respondents). 10.4% employ only one person at the brewery while 24.3% employ two people and 13.9% employ three people. Only 7.1% of respondents employ 15 or more people, with the top employer having approximately 140 employees (including sales reps). It appears though that some breweries did not count staff attached to the brewery, such as those running the taproom or taking care of sales and marketing, so this has skewed the results somewhat. The majority of respondents employ one or fewer staff members from a previously disadvantaged background (22.6% said none; 24.3% said one). 83.5% of respondents employ five or fewer people from previously disadvantaged backgrounds and just 7.9% replied saying 10 or more. Perhaps most surprisingly of all, over 50% of respondents do not employ any women at the brewery with a further 33% employing just one or two women.
So where are we heading?
With the announcement this week that a large player in the South African beer industry is up for sale (Darling’s major shareholder is looking to sell, which puts the brewery’s future in a state of uncertainty) , it seems unlikely that our craft beer industry is going to have an easy time as we head into 2019. Expect to see further sales, closures and consolidations. Is craft beer dead in South Africa? Certainly not, but I think it’s fair to say that the honeymoon period is over. Fighting for shelf space, tap space and indeed, customers is going to be an ongoing battle. I hope you continue to support breweries that produce consistent, quality, innovative beer. I know I will. | <urn:uuid:fa5f32d8-9e96-4af5-8640-c84cb8b934dd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://brewmistress.co.za/statistics-south-african-craft-beer/ | 2020-09-24T01:03:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.977487 | 1,278 |
Sluggo provides superior slug and snail control for all home gardens. The iron phosphate and bait combination immediately stops slugs and snails from feeding after the bait is eaten. The pests then die within a few days. Free-flowing pellets make it easy to spread throughout the garden, along vegetable rows, and around ornamentals.
Sluggo can be used throughout the growing season, whenever slug and snail attack threatens garden plants. Organic gardeners will be pleased to know that Sluggo can be used for organic gardening and also can be used around pets and wildlife. Please read package label before using. Find Sluggo at your local independent or national retailer.
Slugs and snails are serious pests to many garden plants. Sluggo Slug and Snail Bait is an effective way to stop their attack. After eating the bait, feeding stops and pests crawl away to die – no messy clean up and no more damage to your garden.
When to Apply
Begin using Sluggo at first sign of slug or snail damage. This can begin in early spring when perennials begin to appear.
Apply the bait during the evening, as slugs and snails travel and feed mostly by night or early morning.
How to Use
Scatter the slug and snail bait granules on the soil around or near the plants to be protected. Apply bait evenly at the rate of 1 level teaspoon, per square yard, and reapply the bait as consumed or at least every two weeks. Do not pile. If necessary, wet ground before applying.
Pet Safety Tips
- Keep pets out of garden while you are applying bait. Pets can re-enter the garden once the bait is applied.
- Don’t place bait in piles. Scatter bait evenly around plants being damaged.
- Store the bait in a secure place that pets can’t access. | <urn:uuid:6d9339f7-dafa-4227-b721-8810ff3bb23d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chaletnursery.com/products/sluggoparent | 2020-09-24T02:35:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.936023 | 379 |

The Cost of Daydreaming
THAT spring I was teaching in Arizona and walking daily along a road at the edge of the town, taking new pleasure in the physical beauty that surrounded me (the mountains, the desert, the clarity of light) but, as usual, running a movie in my head. One afternoon in April, right in the middle of the film, a kind of visual static — something like the static on a television screen — cut across my inner field of vision; the “story” began literally to break up before my eyes and then it actually terminated itself. At the same time an acrid taste began to fill my mouth and, deep within, I felt myself shrinking from: I knew not what.
The entire incident was so strange, so baffling, that it mystified rather than alarmed me, and I thought to myself, an aberrant occurrence: Expect no repeats. But the next day, exactly the same thing happened. There I was, walking along the blacktopped road, another movie underway in my head, when again: The story short-circuited itself, the acrid taste filled my mouth, and again I felt myself blanching before some unnamable anxiety. When on the third day the entire process repeated itself, it became clear that a sea change was in progress.
Before long I became sufficiently gun-shy — I had begun to dread the nastiness in my mouth — to want to suppress the daydreaming; and lo and behold, it turned out that I could. Now, no sooner did the images start to form in my head than I found myself able to wipe them clean before they could take hold.
It was then that the really strange and interesting thing happened. A vast emptiness began to open up behind my eyes as I went about my daily business. The daydreaming, it seemed, had occupied more space than I’d ever imagined. It was as though a majority of my waking time had routinely been taken up with fantasizing, only a narrow portion of consciousness concentrated on the here and now. Of this I was convinced, because of the number of times a day the bitter taste threatened to take up residence in my mouth.
The insight was stunning. I began to realize what daydreaming had done for me — and to me.
Ever since I could remember, I had feared being found wanting. If I did the work I wanted to do, it was certain not to measure up; if I pursued the people I wanted to know, I was bound to be rejected; if I made myself as attractive as I could, I would still be ordinary looking.
Around such damages to the ego a shrinking psyche had formed: I applied myself to my work, but only grudgingly; I’d make one move toward people I liked, but never two; I wore makeup but dressed badly. To do any or all of these things well would have been to engage heedlessly with life — love it more than I loved my fears — and this I could not do. What I could do, apparently, was daydream the years away: to go on yearning for “things” to be different so that I would be different.
Turning 60 was like being told I had six months to live. Overnight, retreating into the refuge of a fantasized tomorrow became a thing of the past. Now there was only the immensity of the vacated present. Then and there I vowed to take seriously the task of filling it. But, of course, easier said than done. It wasn’t hard to cut short the daydreaming, but how exactly did one manage to occupy the present when for so many years one hadn’t? Days passed, then weeks and months in which I dreaded waking into my own troubled head. I thought often in those days of Virginia Woolf’s phrase “moments of being” — because I wasn’t having any.
Then — seemingly from one day to the next — I became aware, after a street encounter, that the vacancy within was stirring with movement. A week later another encounter left me feeling curiously enlivened. It was the third one that did it. A hilarious exchange had taken place between me and a pizza deliveryman, and sentences from it now started repeating themselves in my head as I walked on, making me laugh each time anew, and each time with yet deeper satisfaction. Energy — coarse and rich — began to swell inside the cavity of my chest. Time quickened, the air glowed, the colors of the day grew vivid; my mouth felt fresh. A surprising tenderness pressed against my heart with such strength it seemed very nearly like joy; and with unexpected sharpness I became alert not to the meaning but to the astonishment of human existence. It was there on the street, I realized, that I was filling my skin, occupying the present. | <urn:uuid:33539645-6050-4e21-8d13-4a3f076a59b4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://colorandlight.blog/2015/04/27/the-cost-of-daydreaming/ | 2020-09-24T01:53:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.9831 | 1,011 |
