Flooring Care & Maintenance
Preserve the Life of Your Floors
Calgary’s climate presents unique challenges for the proper care and maintenance of floors and tile installations. We live in a very dry atmosphere, with low average daily humidity, where daily temperatures can swing 40 degrees either way in the span of a few hours.
Calgary is also one of the sunniest cities in Canada, reaching a peak of almost 20 hours of daylight during the summer months. Sunlight can be one of the most damaging influences on a floor, along with moisture and human traffic. It can cause the colour of certain flooring products to fade, and in extreme cases heave through expansion and contraction.
The experts at Contempa have put together a list of common care and maintenance tips for every flooring and tile product.

1787 map of Knox
The northern half of Wm. Cockburn's 1787 survey map of the Western Manor of Van Rensselaer covers all of what are now the Towns of Berne and Knox. The southern half of the map is of Rensselaerville and Westerlo. Photostat sheets were made in the 1930s or 40s of the original map in the NYS Library Manuscripts and Special Collections Division in Albany. The digital images posted here were taken made by Harold Miller in June 2009 of the photostat copies and were manipulated in an attempt to sharpen the images.
Here is the key to the digital images of the photostat sheets of the northern half of the map that covers Knox.
Note: In the rectangular great lots in the northern half of what is now Knox, the numbers used in the 1787 survey map differs from the numbers on the key. At some time after 1787 two different sets of new numbers were assigned.
- North part of what is now Knox going from west to east:
- Middle part of what is now Knox going from west to east:
- Southern part of what is now Knox going from west to east: | <urn:uuid:c1b7f37e-0e27-4022-addb-5f8e34690e11> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://history.altamontenterprise.com/wikiKnox/index.php?title=1787_map_of_Knox | 2020-09-24T01:47:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.968856 | 246 |
Nowadays the nanocarrier strategy, aimed to rebuild the tumor therapy approach in a winning way, is growing very fast. This is in the direction to engender nanocarriers having synergistic action by the “biological drugs” transported, the capability to recognize specific targets and the molecular architecture that allows them to perform at the best their therapeutic functions. We are building engineered nanocarriers having different functions (control cell cycle, induce apoptosis, etc.) as well as the capability to recognize specific targets (tumor cells, angiogenic and/or sprouting endothelial cells); moreover, they must have also the ability to escape the host immunosystem, such that not to be toxic to healthy cells. At the present, poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) [PVP] nanogels with narrow-size distribution have been produced by applying an inverse microemulsion polymerisation procedure, starting from vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and methyl-bis-acrylamide (MBA). Nanogels have been formed through a free-radical chemical polymerisation occurring inside the water micelles suspended into an oil phase by the recourse to a surfactant. The generated nanogels, marked by the inclusion “in situ” of FITC-Dextran or by direct copolymerisation with fluorescein O,O’-diacrylate, after purification were evaluated for their capability to interact with plasma membrane structures or to penetrate with time into the cultured cells by applying confocal microscopy analysis. Moreover, they were tested for their ability to induce apoptotic and/or necrotic processes to “in vitro” treated cells.

Tomorrow, something more substantial will be posted. Maybe.
Today’s experience: Going to a super crowded trivia night at The Beat, the first of many I am sure. Amazing how many people can be crammed into that space.
What I’m thankful for:
1) My health. I might weigh a few more pounds than I would like (which I am working on changing), but by and large, I am healthy. And that is something so many people either take for granted or can’t say about themselves.
2) My employment. Maybe it was a bit arrogant of me, but I don’t think that I ever considered the possibility of being unemployed. Not only am I employed, in so many ways, I might have stumbled upon my dream job without even realizing it.
3) My family. I’ll be the first to admit that I often take my family for granted. And I really shouldn’t. Still not sure how to change that, but maybe it will change over time. But I do have two amazing parents and two awesome siblings. I’m not even going to try and do the tallies for my extended family because for Indians the line between friends and family is often blurry, if existent at all, but I am really lucky to have that kind of connectivity.
4) My opportunities. Not too many people can say that they have had the chance to work on something truly unique. I’m doing two things that are, being a part of the Inaugural class of Venture for America Fellows and working for the Downtown Project. Yes, this is similar to number 2, but it is different.
5) My fellow Fellows (NC and VFA). I’ve had great experiences of the last four years with Fellows in different contexts, and they have been great to the point that I am determined to find a group of Fellows where ever I go from this point onward.
6) Sort of related to the above, but sometimes distinct, my friends. As much as I say that I would be perfectly happy to go live in a cave by myself for a year (I still maintain I would be!), I have been incredibly fortunate to find myself in contact with the motley mixture of humanity that is my friend group. I don’t know if there is any common characteristic that is common for all of them, and I kind of like it that way.
7) Having the resources and opportunities to travel. Life would be a lot more boring with out them.
8) Having a place to stay in Las Vegas. There aren’t too many options in Downtown right now, and I’m glad to be in the nicest affordable one.
9) Mangoes. Right now, I have fresh mangoes, mango lemonade, mango juice, and mango pulp in my fridge. No shame.
10) Watermelon. I seriously ate about slightly less than a quarter of a large watermelon for dinner. Don’t judge.
11) The internet. I hate it sometimes because of how much of a time suck people allow it to be, but at the same time, it does so many wonderful things. I think of the great power/great responsibility quote.
12) Great teachers. I haven’t really thought about it before, but I have had some pretty amazing teachers over the course of my life, not just the ones that I have had in high school and in college. The value of a great teacher cannot be underestimated and is often undervalued. | <urn:uuid:878cadde-3618-4ec6-9060-5a61beba9265> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ovikbanerjee.com/2012/08/15/ha-day-4/ | 2020-09-24T02:12:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.973112 | 739 |
ATLANTIC CITY — State gaming regulators on Tuesday approved Eldorado Resorts Inc. as the new parent company of Tropicana Atlantic City.
Following a nearly two-hour hearing, the Casino Control Commission granted Eldorado a plenary license as a casino holding company, finalizing the Reno, Nevada-based gaming firm’s first entry into Atlantic City.
The approval of Eldorado as an Atlantic City casino operator also sets the stage for a potential regulatory hurdle in the future should the company finalize a deal with Caesars Entertainment Corp. to combine the two.
If a deal is struck between Eldorado and Caesars, the company would hold four of the nine casino licences in Atlantic City, putting the Casino Control Act’s provision regarding “undue economic concentration” to the test.
Commissioner Sharon Harrington asked Eldorado CEO Thomas Reeg about the company’s plans for future acquisitions, specifically referencing media reports of discussions with Caesars.
“I can’t comment on a particular (move),” he said. “I would say we have been an inquisitive company in the past. To the extent there are opportunities that make sense for our shareholders ... we would take a hard look at those.”
Reeg said he understood that as acquisition deals get larger “there are a host of concerns that other constituencies would have,” but that Eldorado would “thoughtfully work through them.”
Billionaire Wall Street investor Carl Icahn, who sold Tropicana Entertainment to Eldorado last year, has a nearly 29% ownership stake in Caesars.
In 2018, Tropicana Entertainment sold its real estate holdings to Gaming and Leisure Properties for $1.21 billion and merged its gaming and hotel operations into Eldorado Resorts, which will lease the sold properties for $640 million.
Under the lease structure, Tropicana Atlantic City is projected to pay the highest amount because the property is the highest net revenue generator in Eldorado’s portfolio.
Eldorado operates casino hotels in 12 states: Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio and West Virginia.
CCC Chairman James Plousis said he expected Eldorado to “positively contribute to this market and support Atlantic City’s continued upward trajectory.”
Plousis said he looked forward to seeing the benefits of Eldorado’s ability to increase visitation to Atlantic City due to cross-marketing with the company’s other properties.
“A significant part of Atlantic City’s future is the ability of the gaming industry to grow its customer base and thereby bring new customers to the market,” he said.
Tropicana Atlantic City is the second-highest gaming-revenue producing property in the market, behind Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
Steve Callender, who stayed with Tropicana Atlantic City after the sale and was promoted to senior vice president of regional operations for Eldorado, said the new owners have committed to the property by investing in capital projects, such as the nearly $10 million William Hill sportsbook, and other infrastructure improvements throughout the casino hotel.
While acknowledging the market has been “challenging” since the arrival of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and Ocean Casino Resort last summer, Callender said Tropicana and Eldorado are in a good position.
“Tropicana is built to compete,” Callender said. “With the money we’ve invested over the last five or six years, from a diversification standpoint, we outpoint every casino in Atlantic City. There’s just more to do here, more to see and more to be involved with.”
Anthony Carano, president and chief operating officer of Eldorado, said Tropicana Atlantic City has the company’s “full attention.”
Asked by CCC Vice Chairwoman Alisa Cooper what attracted him to Atlantic City, the grandson of Eldorado’s founder said the resort’s history and significance in the gaming industry were powerful draws.
“It’s an honor and a big day for us to get our gaming license in Atlantic City,” Carano said. | <urn:uuid:dbb8844a-ca2b-458d-8993-1a208e7259c8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/casinos_tourism/casino-control-commission-approves-tropicana-deal/article_87d2a684-5e75-5661-bb5b-6d7cd2613f2f.html | 2020-09-24T02:35:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.937315 | 915 |

After putting out the third book in my Christmas Key series, The Edge of Paradise, on January 31st this year, I got stuck in a loop where I wasn’t sure what to write next. I started a book that would have probably qualified as a romantic political thriller (?), got 20,000 words into it, and then realized there were way too many things happening and I had no idea how to tie it all together. It may come out of my iCloud file at some point and get a re-read, but ultimately I put it aside and started pondering my next move.
It’s a common refrain in indie-author world that once you have three books out in a series it’ll take off (if it’s ever going to), so my thought was to put out Book Three, diversify a bit, and start a new series so that I would have a few things going on at once. I planned a free run for early February for Book One of the series, There’s Always a Catch, paid for a ton of advertising, and stacked it up for a single week. The downloads came in like gangbusters, and I gave away almost 8,000 copies of the first book. There’s all sorts of conventional wisdom about what percentage of free book downloaders will go on and read the rest of the series, but I felt hopeful. It’s been a pretty slow burn so far. I’ll have days where a single person buys the next book in the series, or the third book, or a novella, and then a random day happens where ten or fifteen people will move on to the next books. There’s Always a Catch got a handful of new reviews (some positive, which is–of course–what you want, and others less wonderful, but hey–you can’t win ’em all), and it’ll most likely just keep moving in that direction until something falls into place or until I do exactly the right thing at the right time and start making my own magic.
As for the next writing project, when I decided the political romantic thriller thing wasn’t going where I wanted it to, I started a cozy mystery that was actually pretty fun to write. But I got about 20,000 words into that and had a minor panic attack: why wasn’t I working on Book #4 in the Christmas Key series?! What was I thinking wasting my time like that when I only have an hour or two a day to write? By the time I finished one of these new books, I’d have squandered any momentum I’d built up so far! So I put that aside and started the next book about Mayor Holly Baxter and the other islanders, which I’m almost halfway done drafting now. I also put out a second novella in the Christmas Key series, which gives the reader insight into Coco, Holly’s mom, and fills in some of the blanks about how she got to be the way she is. Writing the novellas is lots of fun–the pace is faster, the details easier to keep track of, and the ability to focus entirely on one character’s journey frees me up to really explore their minds rather than just seeing things through Holly’s perspective.
So it’s been a busy Spring so far, with lots of writing–some of which might never see the light of day. But that’s okay. Never one for detailed graphs, data-tracking, or set-in-stone outlines and plans, I’m trying to let the ideas flow and make getting up at 5:00 in the morning to write before work a fun thing, not a pressured “must get this done immediately!” grind.
June will be my two-year anniversary of being an indie author and I’ve hit some great milestones–some things I never envisioned or dreamed could happen. Wonderful people–total strangers! Not my mom!–have reviewed my books and given me kind words; my whole life has been enriched by disappearing into the stories inside my head and giving them life; and there have been months where I’ve made a thousand dollars or more from my books, which totally blows my mind. I’ve learned a ton about everything self-publishing related, and the as-yet untitled Christmas Key Book Four will be published by the beginning of summer. It may have taken a couple months of stumbling around during my dark, quiet, early morning writing sessions, but I’ve definitely found the plot again! | <urn:uuid:ef060a8d-9cfe-4cf8-af98-2dab016b544a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://redbirdsandrabbits.com/2017/04/22/lose-plot-ramble-a-bit-find-plot-again/ | 2020-09-24T02:11:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.961729 | 958 |

Author: Eleri Stone
Reviewer: Jen Twimom
What I’m Talking About:
Eleri Stone’s Twilight of the Gods series share the stories of the citizens of Ragnarok, Iowa. They are the Æsir: the descendants of Asgard. I absolutely LOVE that all of these god-descended heroes are farmers in Iowa! The third story in this entertaining series, Dragonslayer, opens just about one year after the conclusion of the previous book, Witch Bound. Previously we learned that Christian was to marry Raquel in a marriage arranged since birth, but neither loved the other, and Raquel fell in love with Fen, Christian’s best friend. When Christian stepped aside for the pair, he realized that he too wants a wife, family, etc., so he’s remained celibate and alone for a year, searching for something special.
DNR wildlife biologist, Jacey Morgan, stumbles into Ragnarok looking into reports of missing chickens and dead animals in the surrounding area. When she meets Christian at a local bar, she thinks she’s found someone who will help her figure out what’s going on. Even though he agrees to help her, Christian plans to find a way to get this human out of town quickly, using some made-up excuse for the disturbances. However, soon Jacey discovers that there is more to the citizens of Ragnarok, and the creature she is hunting isn’t a stray dog. Christian takes a chance and trusts the human female, bringing her into his inner circle. However, will he be able to move past his own upbringing to realize what a true treasure Jacey is?
Dragonslayer is utterly exciting and entertaining; the romance sweet and emotional; and the characters honest and interesting. The story opens in just the right spot, having given Christian time to figure out what he really wants in life after his near marriage a year ago. He’s still best buddies with Fen and good friends with Raquel. Christian demonstrated a lot of maturity in Witch Bound, which only increased during the course of this book. He’s got to tackle his own beliefs and upbringing as one of the Æsir and balance expectations with reality. I found Christian intriguing, honest, and sexy.
I also adored Jacey. Being a bit of a geeky girl myself, I related to her awkward behaviors. Sometimes her comments were misunderstood, but she doesn’t let that get her down for long. She’s got almost a naivety to her, because of her awkwardness, making her all the more endearing. I didn’t like how much the clan dislikes Jacey and how horribly they treated her, especially when they gave others (in prior books) more leeway. Their attitude, coupled with Jacey’s inherent quirkiness, created empathy and an emotional connection on my part.
Together, Christian and Jacey are fabulous! Ms. Stone does an amazing job of fostering a simple and innocent attraction between Christian and Jacey, allowing it to blossom into a wonderful romance. It’s like two teens having their first crush, which develops into something far richer because they take the time to get to know one another. When Christian begins to experience a strong attraction to Jacey, a human, he is torn between his upbringing (to mate with another Æsir) and his own feelings. The internal struggle gives Christian, and the story, added depth, creating a high-quality, emotionally fulfilling story.
Carefully cultivated and honest conversations between characters is one aspect of the book that helps creates such a wonderful story. I appreciate that there aren’t any games and that the characters communicate difficult feelings. I like when they are challenged by their friends to look openly at the choices in front of them.
Beyond the romance is an interesting tale about a mysterious creature looming around town. How it arrived in Ragnarok and what it means for the Æsir and Midgard opens up a world of possibilities for future stories. I liked the action and adventure of the plot, and I look forward to finding out what will come next for the community. I also enjoyed seeing several familiar characters involved in this story, creating additional fodder for future tales.
In the end, I absolutely enjoyed Dragonslayer. My only complaint is that it took way too long to firmly establish the pair as a couple. However, the author treats readers to an epilogue set a couple years into the future, giving a greater sense of closure. The story was full of adventure and action, as well as quiet times like the remarkable one-on-one character moments. I loved watching Christian and Jacey grow as individuals and as a couple, and hope to see them again in future Twilight of the Gods installments.
My Rating: A, Loved It
About the Book:
One year after his bride left him at the altar for his best man, Christian Jager is stuck in a rut. Working at the local co-op, dating the same handful of women he’s known since childhood, riding with the wild hunt twice a month to keep the jötnar who destroyed Asgard from invading earth.
He wants something more, but he’s not quite sure what it is until Jacey Morgan blows into his life like a breath of fresh air. A wildlife biologist who’s come to Ragnarok to investigate rumors of a strange predator in the area, she’s also a native Midgardian who can’t ever learn the truth about Christian or his clan. His job is to distract her and get her the Hel out of town as quickly as possible so the Æsir can take care of the problem themselves.
Jacey wants the case wrapped up quickly too, and she’s not about to get distracted by the sinfully sexy man who’s so unexpectedly determined to help. With a new degree and a plan to get out of Iowa, she’s ready to move on to bigger and better things… A dragon isn’t quite what she had in mind.

In the domain of women’s hockey, 2015 may definitely be described as the year of Janine Weber. Currently donning the red, white and blue of the New York Riveters, Weber has emerged as a fan favorite and
Among the remarkable accomplishments from this year, Weber has seen her hockey stick from the Clarkson Cup gain a new home in the Hockey Hall of Fame, while making history as the first player signed to an NWHL contract. While Weber is exceptionally proud of such accomplishments, her focus is on the future, determined to give the Riveters a chance to win.
“I think that these accomplishments will be fun to look back to in the future and show that all the hard work paid off. Right now I am focused on winning hockey games and playing well and I am hoping we can make this a successful first season for the Riveters.”
With a newfound celebrity status, Weber and her Riveters teammates have been graciously welcomed into New York’s proud sporting community. As the first-ever free agent signing in NWHL history, it is not uncommon to see Weber featured in dialogue about the Riveters, the league, and the feeling of excitement and empowerment that comes with the arrival of America’s first-ever professional women’s hockey league.
Along with NWHL commissioner Dani Rylan, Weber has been featured in a series of interviews, talking about the league and its potential with the likes of Steve Mears on the NHL Network, and Maggie Gray, host of SI Now, featured on the Sports Illustrated website. Among the faces of the league, Weber is proud to help bring exposure to the game?
“All these appearances have been a lot of fun and I am very excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this and to be able to raise awareness about the NWHL and women’s hockey.”
Along with goaltender Nana Fujimoto of Japan, Weber has helped provide an international flair to the Riveters. Their presence is akin to when Pele and Franz Beckenbauer signed with the New York Cosmos, the city’s first professional soccer team, generations ago.
While Weber and numerous Riveters teammates have also had the chance to attend NHL matches in the Big Apple, even gaining screen time on the jumbotron, the New York experience has provided Weber with a worldly appreciation, equally gaining the time to refine her palate at some of New York’s finest eateries.
“It has been really fun to get to know everyone, come together as a team and push each other to get better. We have a very hard working team and I think that will be one of our biggest strengths this year.
I really enjoy walking around and exploring the city and trying new restaurants. There are so many places to choose from and I have had a great time trying new places with my teammates.”
In a cosmopolitan city such as New York, with its captivating sights and legendary history, Weber has enjoyed the chance to absorb its greatness, falling under its magical spell. It is a feeling reciprocated by Riveters fans, who have been captivated by Weber and her teammates, eager to leave their mark on New York’s sporting map while hoping to gain a special place in the hearts and minds of their loyal fans.

5 Things to Consider When Buying Newborn Baby Clothes
Buying newborn baby clothes is one of the hardest things first-time parents have to do. While shopping, you come across many products, and you might not be sure which one is the best for your new little one.
After all, they are so small and delicate and susceptible to infection. This implies that you have to consider a lot of things before buying new clothes for your new little loved one.
Table of Contents
Buying Newborn Baby Clothes: 5 Things to Consider
In this guide, we have gone the extra mile to serve you with reliable information on what should be considered when trying to buy new clothes for your loved one. Note that the tips in this guide apply to both genders, so you don’t have anything to worry about.
Avoid Designer Baby Clothes
It feels great to mention designer clothes, but this might not be what your baby needs. Though most designers tend to know what is best for your baby, you will have to invest a lot of money to have them. First, your baby will grow very first, and they will not be of any use in the near future. This is more like throwing your hard-earned cash to the curb.
If you are a smart parent, you want to avoid designer clothes and only get them when your baby has grown and can have them on for a little longer when they have stopped growing so fast. Also, if you don’t have a lot of money to spend on expensive clothes, then don’t touch them even after your baby has gained a few more inches.
Consider Your Newborn’s Comfort
Even as you strive to get the best clothes for your loved one, you need to ensure that they will stay comfortable in them. Just like anyone else, babies love and deserve to stay comfortable all the time. Thankfully, babies do not care whether they are putting on designer suits or Gerber Onesie from which you get three from every pack.
You need to keep your baby happy, and this means comfort is one of the things that you have to prioritize. When you go shopping, try to find clothes that are not too tight. They should have enough spaces around the neck, back, tummy, and legs. If your baby is not putting on comfortable clothes, you will know by their reaction, but you need not wait until that happens.
Note that the best baby clothes are created for umbilical cord care since this is one of the most sensitive areas when the baby is still very young.
Mimi Baby Clothes is a good recommendation for you to choose the best baby clothes for your little one.
Know That Newborns Sleep A Lot
Even as you shop, you should have it at the back of your mind that newborns tend to sleep a lot. Averagely, they will spend at least eighteen hours of the day just sleeping. This means that you should focus on buying pyjamas and overalls instead of spending too much money on outfits.
If you are a new parent, ask an expert for what to look for when buying the best sleepwear for your new little one. You can check out some Youtube videos on the latest sleep sucks that you need to consider buying for your newborn.
Though these items are available, they are sold at different prices. But you need to get clothes that will provide your baby with pleasurable time both while awake and when seeping.
Always Buy Clothes For The Coming Months
Every time you go shopping, the best you can do is to get clothes for the months ahead. This is where new parents tend to go wrong. If you are one of them, know that your baby will gain size rapidly and will outgrow its clothes almost on a weekly basis.
To avoid wasting money on shopping for new clothes every weekend, you are supposed to plan ahead all the time. Since you know your baby’s age, ask the dealer for the clothes designated for babies of a certain age. They might as well provide you with shopping tips that might not be on this guide.
Consider The Price
Though this aspect has been slightly covered up above, we need to emphasize it. If you go for expensive clothes, you will not be happy with the much you spend on clothes each month. Even if you need nice clothes for your newborn, don’t go overboard on it.
Keep it modest because you will be shopping again for the same thing in the next few weeks. Consider getting products from dealers who do not sell items at exorbitant prices.
The Final Thought
Dealing with newborns is quite a challenge. But we are looking to help you keep them neat and comfortable buy getting the right clothes for them. If you follow this guide, you will not have a problem getting the best clothes that will keep your little one happy and comfortable. | <urn:uuid:8647574d-c641-4bd3-bd4b-b06938fd6647> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.babygatesplus.com/5-things-to-consider-when-buying-newborn-baby-clothes/ | 2020-09-24T02:12:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.966502 | 999 |

In one of my first columns for BEEF, I presented my five essentials for successful ranch management. These include:
- Our approach to management needs to be both integrative and holistic.
- Strive for continuous improvement of the key resources – land, livestock and people.
- Assemble and use good analysis and decision-making tools.
- Wage a war on cost.
- Emphasize marketing.
Item three suggests that we should assemble and use tools for analysis and decision making. Good production and cost records are vital for decision making. We often have these records, but fail to use them appropriately; rather, we make decisions based on our intuition or recollection of the past.
It’s critical to spend time away from the physical work part of our jobs and engage in analysis and decision making. A few hours each week spent on analysis and thought-driven planning can pay huge dividends. This is best accomplished at a desk or kitchen table; or if several people are involved, in a conference or board room setting. While you might do some of the analysis yourself, be sure to involve others in seeking input to the analysis and evaluating the ideas.
Items four and five suggest a lot of our planning time should be devoted to cost reduction and marketing. By cost reduction, I’m referring to cutting overhead as much as possible. This includes land costs, facilities, buildings, equipment and people.
Then you want to improve or increase gross margin where gross margin is total revenue minus direct costs. I just did an analysis where 37% of a ranch’s sales came from cows and bred heifers. Each of the units of production and sale had a different cost and value.
So, we need a method to analyze different ways of organizing our production systems. I use a spreadsheet that I started to use as a graduate student many years ago. Back then, I had to do it all with a pencil and handheld calculator. When computers became smaller and more powerful, I moved the spreadsheet to a computer. With ideas and help from others, I have been making it better ever since.
I like to look at all the livestock enterprises as if they were one enterprise. By doing this, I don’t forget to think of inter-enterprise activities and relationships that need to be considered.
I start with an inventory-based stock flow, which starts with the beginning inventory, then projects births, deaths and ending inventory. Sales become the number that you can sell and still have the desired ending inventory for each class of livestock.
The stock-flow form I use (shown below) has been used for many years by a number of people with slight modifications. In this example, I’ve made next year’s beginning inventory the same as the current beginning inventory to allow a comparison to other scenarios on a fully stocked, static basis.
I might evaluate changing to purchased yearlings only; or I might keep the steer calves over to yearlings. I might look at slowing the herd turnover and selling more heifer calves. I might analyze purchasing replacement cows, terminal crossing to get bigger calves, and sell all the heifer and steer calves at weaning or after a preconditioning period. You can analyze almost anything you can imagine.
Following the inventory projection, the spreadsheet includes a sales chart that shows number sold, weight, price and total receipts for each class of animal. That’s followed by a purchase chart that does the same thing for purchases by class.
Then I have a budget sheet for each feedstuff that I may purchase. It takes the beginning inventory and purchases of livestock, and shows the amount fed daily, the number of days fed, the price of the feedstuff, and the total projected expenditure for each class of animal. In another chart, we show other incidentals, like brand inspection, trucking, vet and medicine, etc., that vary with the number of animals.
From all this we can calculate total livestock sales minus livestock purchases, plus or minus the value of inventory change from the beginning to the end of the year, minus all direct costs. This calculation gives us a total or combined livestock gross margin. Remember that we still need to subtract overhead to get to profit.
I will usually do this for the current situation, and then do additional stocking scenarios as mentioned above. The great advantage of this approach is that it keeps you consistent in pricing of sales and purchases, in sale weights and animal performance.
To assure that you’re comparing on an equal basis, you need to calculate the number of animal units you’re carrying by class of animal. For example, a cow with a calf at side for half of the year might be 1.2 animal units (AU); a yearling might be .7 AU, and a bull 1.3 AU. Then you must adjust inventories of the new scenario to have the same, or very nearly the same, number of AUs as in the current scenario.
This usually takes a few iterations, but the computer does the arithmetic very fast. In this manner, you can look at any number of stocking and marketing alternatives very quickly. If anyone on your team thinks they have a better idea, just model it and see.
At first, I like to model widely diverse scenarios to get a general idea of the major changes that might be needed. Then, after making major decisions, the model can be used to fine tune. For example, I might ask “what if I converted my hay land to pasture and purchased winter hay needs?” I’d also want to shorten my hay feeding season as much as possible. The cowherd can now increase because of outside purchases of hay. My overhead (all the costs associated with making hay are overhead to the cattle enterprises) will shrink. Remember the overhead is not part of gross margin, but greatly affects profit.
Once you set it up, this and many other alternatives can be accurately compared. Make sure prices projected for various classes and weights of animals have an appropriate relationship to each other. It doesn’t matter so much if all prices are a little high or a little low, but if you show a 450-lb. calf will sell for the same price as an 850-lb. yearling, or that a yearling steer will sell for the same price as a bred cow, your analysis won’t be worth much. I like to call this “internal pricing consistency,” which is making sure you have the proper price relationship between classes and weights of cattle.
Most of the financially strapped ranches that I encounter are doing what they do quite well. The problem is that what they’re doing and what worked well 20 or 30 years ago doesn’t work today.
These ranches must change what they’re doing rather than improve what they’re doing. This is a tough concept to buy into, and it closely relates to the “paradigm lockdown” discussed in last month’s article. We will take this another step next month.

Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program
The Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) program provides culturally and linguistically appropriate child welfare, foster care, and independent living services to youth who do not have parents in the United States (U.S.), or who enter the U.S. unaccompanied by a parent, an immediate adult relative, or an adult having document-able legal evidence of custody of the minor. Refugee children who enter the U.S. with family, but later experience a family breakdown may be eligible for the URM program.
Please note: The state administered URM program differs from the federally administered Unaccompanied Children (UC) program, operated through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
Populations served by the URM program
- Cuban/Haitian entrants;
- Victims of human trafficking who have an ORR eligibility letter;
- Non-citizen victims of domestic violence and other serious crimes who have been granted a U-Visa from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and meet all other eligibility requirements, or;
- Minors who have received Special Immigrant Juvenile Status while in ORR’s custody.
Two lead resettlement agencies, the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), assist ORR and identify eligible children; determine appropriate placements; and conduct training, research and technical assistance.
Since April 2004, the California Department of Social Services has administered the California URM program, contracting with three URM service providers:
- Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, a USCCB affiliate based in San Jose;
- Crittenton Services for Children and Families, a LIRS affiliate based in Fullerton, Orange County, and;
- International Christian Adoptions, a LIRS affiliate based in Citrus Heights, Sacramento County.
These agencies place URM youth in the above counties and surrounding regions.
Under Title 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 400.112[a]
, states are mandated to provide foster care and child welfare services to URMs that are equivalent to those provided to mainstream foster youth. Additionally, states must provide child welfare services to URMs according to the state’s child welfare standards, practices and procedures.
Below are links to detailed information about the URM program. If you have questions regarding the URM program, please contact the RPB at (916) 654-4356 or [email protected]

A popular route and gateway to Chapel Street, the park on Church Street, South Yarra, has undergone a face-lift. The area has long been a popular destination for shopping and dining and historically was also home to bootmakers, carpenters, bricklayers and blacksmiths.
In keeping with the beautiful heritage-listed streetlights, five permanent lighting installations that produce a glowing silhouette of the existing streetlights have been commissioned.

Icelandic pop group Bellatrix is set to unveil a new identity created by London design group Flim Flam. It will be appearing on forthcoming singles, the band’s website and merchandising. The design group was asked to create a look for the band – this image will be developed on subsequent releases on its label, Fierce Panda. The next single by Bellatrix, ‘the girl with the sparkling eyes’ is released on 14 February and is also designed by Flim Flam. ‘Bellatrix wanted more than just a one-off cover design, so we produced a look that is clean, strong and instantly recognisable. The brief was to create an eye-catching logo which has immediate visual impact on a wide audience,’ says a spokesman for the design group. The band’s website is currently under construction by Slap.
Design outfit Studio Texture has led the redesign, keeping the previous Pentagram-designed logo but introducing new colours, typography and tone of voice.
The newly-established partnership hopes to create more aesthetically-pleasing solutions to COVID wayfinding in working, retail and even domestic spaces.
The Danish design innovation lab has collaborated with several studios to create a typographic identity that is as “neutral as possible”.

In a stunning walkback, prosecutors in the state of Florida are now admitting that the massive police sting on massage parlors across the state is not tied to sex trafficking.
“No one is being charged with human trafficking,” said Assistant State Attorney Greg Kridos at a hearing on Friday.
Take Action: Respect & Dignity for Trafficking Victims
“There is no human trafficking that arises out of this investigation,” he added, acknowledging that there was not enough evidence to show that the Asian women working at the massage parlors were doing so against their will.
As New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with soliciting prostitution and secretly recorded by police at Orchids of Asia spa in Jupiter, Florida, this case is now turning into a question of whether or not Florida police acted unconstitutionally by convincing a judge to let them install hidden cameras in the massage parlors.
Rolling Stone reports:
During the hearing, which was over Kraft’s request to suppress the release of surveillance footage featuring him at the spa, Kraft’s attorneys argued that police staked out the spa with hidden cameras, despite the fact that they knew all along that there was no evidence of trafficking there.
They claimed that Florida police deliberately misled a judge in order to obtain a warrant to place cameras in the massage parlors under investigation, and that the warrant was unconstitutional. (A judge did not rule on Kraft’s attorneys’ request on Friday, saying instead that he would review the footage in private and then issue his decision.)
This admission [that there was no link to trafficking] is a stark contrast to the narrative previously set forth by Florida police. In a February press conference announcing the arrests, state attorney Dave Aronberg referred to human trafficking as “evil in our midst.”
He stated that the women who were alleged to be selling sexual services at the Orchids of Asia spa, among other spas targeted by the anti-trafficking investigation, were there against their will, and were living under inhumane conditions, forced to work long hours and cook meals on hot plates in their rooms.
It is not uncommon for authorities to conduct raids premised on saving victims of sex trafficking. This case in Florida highlights how sex trafficking and sex work are often conflated, and how quickly the women at the massage parlors changed from being seen as “victims of sex trafficking” to “women arrested for prostitution.”
“I am not at all surprised that they haven’t found any evidence of trafficking in the Kraft case,” said Jessie Sage, a sex columnist for the Pittsburgh City Paper and an organizer with SWOP Pittsburgh. “In our current political climate, trafficking rhetoric is used as a shortcut to incite moral panic about the buying and selling of sex.”
Dr. Jill McCracken, professor at University of South Florida Saint Petersburg and co-founder and co-director of SWOP Tampa Bay, noted that “We tend to see Asian massage parlors in general through a very prejudiced lens,” as they are targeted through a sort of “racial profiling.”

Virginia has been trying for a few years to become a pioneer in the gambling industry. However, it has been challenging to overcome certain barriers in the legislative body. But it is already one of the first states outside of Nevada to legalize sports betting.
A bipartisan group introduced an online gambling bill and it has already passed in the House Judiciary Committee. It will now be sent to the Finance Committee, where it is expected to have the same fate.
The iGaming legislation will enrich West Virginia
The new bill will allow casinos to offer full-scale online gambling, but operators will be charged $250,000 for licenses. The WV Lottery Commission will regulate the industry and the revenue will be taxed at a 10-percent rate.
Apart from this, there will also be new criminal penalties for unlicensed online gambling operations. Del. Jason Barrett is expecting bipartisan support for the new bill, stating that it “has the potential to bring millions of dollars in revenue” to West Virginia.
A proposed amendment failed, but the bill will still meet some revisions
In the meantime, the committee substitute has increased the suggested rate to 15 percent. However, some lawmakers still considered the number to be insufficient.
In this way, and alluding to the lottery privilege tax, Del. Tom Fast suggested a 35-percent tax. But the amendment saw opposition, especially when compared to the taxes applied to other states, such as Nevada and New Jersey. Consequently, it was rejected and the 15 percent tax rate was approved.
Yet, there was an amendment that passed. The bill saw some language updates, which assured that the market is now opened to operators like PokerStars.
The current WV legislature is in session until March 9 this year. | <urn:uuid:7e30202a-4d7f-4581-bb84-b984ecce6191> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.gamingzion.com/gambling/gambling-news/west-virginia-online-gambling-bill-closer-approval/ | 2020-09-24T01:01:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.965816 | 353 |
Reynolds Lake Oconee - The Preserve Course
The Preserve, designed by Bob Cupp and opened in 1988, is the original golf course built at Reynolds Lake Oconee and offers a host of subtle challenges in the form of swales, depressions, undulations, fall-away slopes and false fronts. The layout takes full advantage of the natural, rolling topography with the end result being an extremely playable golf course for low handicappers and beginners. The Preserve is also home to "The Quick Six," a six-hole loop of a course within a course where each hole is less than 130 yards and can be played in about an hour.

Austere bunkering lets terrain do the talking
Many golf courses are over-bunkered. Rather than strategic hazards, bunkers often become crutches used by architects to add "character" or "eye candy" to a course. Which makes it refreshing to see a course with relatively few.
To be fair, flat courses often need bunkers to be interesting.
The Preserve has barely a dozen and a half bunkers, which is appropriate given the significant natural rise and fall of most of the hole corridors. Uphill shots abound, but due to light bunkering and plenty of gathering slopes, such shots are manageable. The front-nine holes by Lake Oconee offer only token looks, unfortunately, but overall The Preserve is an enjoyable layout for members and guests.
A solid fourth option at Reynolds Plantation
With six strong golf courses, it's easy for a course to get lost in the shuffle at Reynolds Plantation. That's sort of what happens at the Plantation course. It doesn't have as many lake holes as Great Waters and the Oconee course. It's not as highly regarded as the 27-hole National course by Tom Fazio, either.
But, when comparing it to most courses in most places, the Plantation is quite good.
Some nice elevated tee shots keep it fun and playable. The trees lining the fairways never feel like they're crowding the tee shots, yet you can still finding yourself fishing your ball out of them if you're not swinging well. Overall, a solid - not spectacular - choice.
Outstanding course in a beautiful setting
The Plantation Course at Reynolds Plantation was my first private members course. I was astounded with every aspect of Reynolds Plantation from the service and amenities to the course conditions. The courses are well-maintained and in excellent condition. A few of the courses offer challenging lakeside shots and others require forced carries or conservative club selection based on power.
I would recommend the Plantation Course to anyone. | <urn:uuid:7a24ce89-3d10-4cf7-9a4f-f1b291a0e216> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.golfadvisor.com/courses/388-reynolds-lake-oconee-the-preserve-course | 2020-09-24T02:22:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.729945 | 1,372 |
So you’ve been informed that your plumber has balanced your system (always step one when your new radiator isn’t heating up, and especially if you fitted without plumbing assistance), and yet it’s still not heating up properly. At this point you might be tempted to throw in the towel and check your warranty, but to save even more hassle you might actually need that towel.
What does “Your radiator needs bleeding” actually mean?
If you imagine that a radiator is just a set of pipes that water is pushed through, it’s logical that it would work at its best when these pipes are cleared. Now having physical blockages within your radiator is very highly unlikely, but if you imagine for instance a spirit level, and then imagine that the liquid that surrounds the air bubble is warm, like the water in a radiator, it stands to reason that the air bubble would not heating up the same. This is what we mean by “air in the radiator”, and as such “bleeding” is the process of removing the air in order for the radiator to be able to heat evenly.
The Fiddly Bit
The solution for this is pretty simple, but make sure you do it safely:
- Turn off your boiler – IMPORTANT. We don’t want and scalded hands.
- After waiting for your system too cool off, locate your bleeding valve. All radiators should have one. Not the same thing as the radiator valves which turn it on/off, up/down.
- Take the aforementioned (preferably old) towel and place bunched underneath the valve.
- Insert your radiator bleeding key (usually sold separately) and turn slowly.
- You should hear air escaping from the hole in the valve, confirming the air hypothesis. Keep bleeding the air until water begins to appear from the hole that the air was escaping from. This is why the towel is in place.
- The air is now out of your radiator, but make sure you lock the radiator valve back in place or the water will just keep coming!
- If water was the first thing to appear from your radiator and not air, then your radiator probably didn’t need to be bled and you should assess your options, such as checking your valves are in good condition. | <urn:uuid:379090b3-090c-4f76-8e75-6c6a71ca3dbf> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.greatrads.co.uk/blogs/news/my-radiator-isn-t-working-how-to-bleed-a-radiator | 2020-09-24T02:15:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.953781 | 482 |
Do you enjoy borrowing from our collection of e-books and digital audiobooks on your Libby app?
OverDrive has recently implemented an exciting new feature called hold redelivery. The new function gives you more control over your digital holds.
The improvements went live during the week of March 2, 2020.
What was the problem?
Have you ever opened your Libby app and realized that four of the books you’ve been waiting for have been automatically checked out at the same time? It can be hard to read that quickly. OverDrive has replaced auto-checkout with Hold Redelivery. This new feature allows readers to suspend a hold even after it’s been made available to you.
Basically, now when you don’t have time to read the available book, you can pass it along to the next person in line without losing your place on the waitlist.
How does it work?
Libby notifies readers when your holds become available. This Notifications section is also a part of the OverDrive website and the OverDrive app.
After receiving notification that a hold is available, readers can:
- Borrow the title within three days.
- Suspend the hold by selecting “deliver later.” This option passes the book to the next person in line while maintaining the user’s place on the wait list. After the suspension period (set by the user), the user will be able to borrow the book when the next copy is available.
- Cancel the hold.
If you take no action, your hold will automatically be suspended as a one-time courtesy for 7 days. If no action is taken after a second alert is sent, your hold will be cancelled automatically.
Essentially, these changes will lead to shorter waiting times for everyone.

In the last year since our company made the switch from Abra to Optimum, the speed of our payroll processing has increased. The transfer of data from Timekeeping to Payroll Processing is simple and efficient. The HR side of the system is very user friendly and has a large array of reports to choose from. On a daily basis I have enjoyed the Optimum system; it is easy to manuever around in and enter data quickly.

By JONATHAN HICAP, Manila Bulletin
MANILA, Philippines - Keeping his promise to his fans, K-pop star Jay Park released his free English mixtape containing six songs, all of which he wrote in collaboration with other artists.
He released the mixtape, titled "Fresh Air: Breathe It," online on May 17.
"Now yall can bump NEW BREED and FRESH A!R:BRETH !t ~," he tweeted before he released the songs.
He added, "Better spread the link like wildfire ~ haha spam all ur friends with it...after all it is just free musik."
The songs in the mixtape are: "Be With Me 2night," "BODY2BODY" and "Do What We Do" produced by Filipino-American Cha Cha Malone and written by Jay Park; "Hopeless Love" and "William Hung" produced by LODEFand written by Jay Park and Cha Cha Malone; and "You Know How We Do" produced by LODEF and written by Jay Park and Dumbfoundead.
During his "New Breed" showcase in Manila earlier this month, Jay Park told Bulletin Entertainment that he's the first K-pop artist to have a mixtape.
"Basically, I think I'm the first K-pop artist to release a mixtape," he said.
Fans immediately downloaded the songs when the online link was posted on Twitter and YouTube.
The downloading became overwhelming with more than 50,000 downloads that it exceeded the bandwidth.
"Already got over 50k d/l on the media fire one, exceeded the bandwith lol use that link if u haventd/l'd yet," said Jay Park as he added another download link.
Jay Park arrived in Washington, DC today for his APAHM (Asian Pacific American Heritage Month) Tour concert series.
In Washington, DC, he will hold the concert at Fillmore Silver Spring on May 19 followed by his show at Best Buy Theater in New York City on May 20. These shows will be opened by Asian-Americans Dumbfoundead and Viennie V.
Jay Park will then hold concerts in San Francisco on May 25 and Los Angeles on May 27. Filipino-American AJ Rafael and girl group Blush will be the opening acts in these shows.

Bourbon-barrel finished wines: trendy gimmick or legit category? Well, yes to both questions.
Oak barrels are expensive and decades ago some struggling wineries flirted with buying used bargain-basement bourbon barrels to finish wine. Today, bourbon-barrel wines are well past that quirky niche as major wineries jump on the bourbon barrel bandwagon.
Bourbon-barrel wines particularly are aimed at the millennial male market with their bold, ripe wine flavors loaded with vanilla, caramel, candied fruit, extreme oak toast notes. Bourbon barrels receive a much heavier char than wine barrels, and the oak and bourbon flavors often are flagrant in the product.
Wine purists may scornfully sniff these wines are more a wine beverage than a classic wine—but there definitely is a market for the product. The wines clearly are different, but appreciate them for what they are. If you enjoy bold wines and bourbon flavors, why not tip a glass that provides both?
• Robert Mondavi Private Selection Bourbon Barrels Chardonnay Monterey County 2015: Big oak, really big bourbon barrel influence, vanilla, maybe some chardonnay grapes in there somewhere—hard to tell. $11-14
• Robert Mondavi Winery Private Selection Bourbon Barrel-Aged Cabernet Sauvignon, Monterey County 2015: Very fruit-forward, significant brown sugar, caramel, chocolate, oak elements which will thrill some, dismay others. $13-15
• Apothic Wines Inferno 2016: Wine beverage that clearly has devoted following of sybaritic drinkers. $15-17
• Barrel Road California Red Wine 2015: Niche in commodity market. Adventurous? Give it a shot. $15-17
• 1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel-Aged Gold Rush Red 2016: Easy drinker, tastes like cab-led blend rather than bourbon-oak infused wine. $17-21
• 1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel Aged Zinfandel 2016: Somewhat reserved effort, still massive and distinct, just not quite as over-the-top as some other bourbon barrel makers. $17-21
• Exitus Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Wine 2016: Fun to drink for those who want to party down. $19
• The Federalist Zinfandel Bourbon Barrel Aged 2015: Does not transgress into excesses of some bourbon barrel efforts. $18-20
• Cosentino Winery Cigar Bourbon Barrel-Aged Cabernet Sauvignon 2016: Bourbon flavors are not as pronounced. Tasty, smooth, easy drinker. $22
• Cooper & Thief Cellarmasters Red Wine Blend 2014: Maker threw all red grapes available into this knowing bourbon barrels would mash everything together. $25
I tried to write a joke about wine and pi, but it just went on forever.

While the newly updated iteration of the Kindle, Amazon’s e-book reader, has impressed many, there’s at least one group that’s taken issue with the device: the Authors Guild. The association, which is a professional organization for writers, has objected to the fact that the Kindle 2 features text-to-speech functionality that can read books aloud.
The Guild’s executive director, Paul Aiken, told the Wall Street Journal that the capability violated authors’ copyrights, as Amazon doesn’t own the rights for audio recordings. The legality of this issue is up in the air—recording rights, such as those for audiobooks, are often sold separately from the text itself,but that raises the question of whether or not text-to-speech synthesis constitutes an audio recording.
Part of this is the Guild playing the long game: right now the quality of text-to-speech isn’t a replacement for a professional recording read by an actual narrator, but the Guild clearly doesn’t want to be in a position where they’re betting against technological innovation. If it cedes this debate now, it's going to have a harder time arguing against it in ten years when text-to-speech is a lot better (compare today’s text synthesis engines to those of ten or twenty years ago to see how far we've already come).
But setting the legal issues aside for the moment, it seems to me that while the Authors Guild is playing for the long term, in the short term it's a hair’s breadth away from shooting itself in the foot. The Kindle is the most influential technological device in the e-book market and it has the potential to do for text what the iPod did for music. Right now both the e-book and audiobook markets are relatively small compared, say, to online music. There’s also probably a decent amount of overlap between the two markets, as they share the same underlying demographic of people that still read—itself an increasingly small minority of the general public.
Publishing companies—and through them, authors—are being hit hard by the economy; they’re also starting to feel the same crunch that the music and movie industries have run into in this increasingly digital world. Adaptation is needed if the industry is going to survive in this day and age.
I’m no businessman, much less a lawyer, but I can see a couple of potential solutions. Amazon already owns the largest audiobook service on the Web in Audible, and it allows you to load and play back audiobooks from the service on the device. It'd be great if users could purchase and download audiobooks directly from the Kindle, but according to the company, the file sizes are too big to be downloaded over the device's network connection, so they have to be loaded from a PC.
But text-to-speech should still be available as an alternative. Why? Well, for a few reasons: firstly, in the short term, the vast majority of audiobook devotees are unlikely to ditch them for the emotionless text-to-speech of a computer. Secondly, I'd wager that enough people will be frustrated with the lackluster quality of text-to-speech that they’ll shell out for the real deal. Finally, not every book gets turned into an audiobook in the first place, so why not let people listen to a book if it’s something that wasn’t going to be recorded anyway? Better yet, if the rights holders can negotiate a deal with Amazon to figure out which books are being read aloud the most, it can potentially take advantage of that to produce audiobook versions of titles that might otherwise not have merited the treatment.
I understand the need—both financial and psychological—for publishing companies and authors to make money off audio rights, but they need to learn from the lessons of the movie and music industries and realize that they stifle technological innovation at their own peril. Playing the long game is all well and good, but if they ignore adapting in the short term, there may not be much of a long term left. | <urn:uuid:997c426b-a898-4959-aa44-8f3acc5ad05f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.macworld.com/article/1138776/kindle_textspeech.html | 2020-09-24T01:49:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.957517 | 863 |

The ongoing overnight closure of Grantham hospital’s A&E unit until February is “very disappointing”, according to a union.
The A&E department has been temporarily shut between 18:30 and 09:00 since August due to a lack of staff.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (ULHT) said nine additional doctors had been recruited but haven’t started to work yet.
Unison said it was “seeking urgent meetings with the trust” for a fast resolution to the “huge staffing gap”.
Dave Godson, from Unison, said: “It’s very disappointing that the trust has not managed to recruit sufficient medical staff to allow the A&E department to reopen.”
With winter, fast approaching, access to A&E facilities for local people across Grantham, Boston is very important.
On Tuesday, ULHT announced the unit would stay closed overnight but said it had recruited locum agency staff and permanent staff” at Grantham as well as two other locum staff at Lincoln A&E. However, none had started work “due to the recruitment process time.
Supporters say closing the hospitals is putting patient’s safety in danger, however the trust denies this.
ULHT says it doesn’t have enough doctors to staff the department safely as well as maintain services in Lincoln and Boston, which take care of more patients. | <urn:uuid:6c1f458c-8361-47a5-b04b-567f4933a653> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.medecho.com/grantham-ae-overnight-closure-disappointing/ | 2020-09-24T02:20:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.982812 | 300 |

In 1963, when Nottingham Playhouse threw open the doors of its new home on Wellington Circus, one feature in particular struck and perhaps even perplexed its first attenders.
Clinging tightly to the curved concrete wall of the auditorium itself was an extraordinary assembly of aluminium. Its brutal abstract framework was pocked with an array of cylindrical forms jutting out into the foyer like horizontal factory chimneys and thinner metal rods rippling like some denuded and industrialised forest.
This was the work of Geoffrey Clarke, and the fact that the new Playhouse boasted a large new artwork by this leading sculptor was a significant feather in Nottingham’s cap. It stands for the boldness of the early 60s as surely as Sir Peter Moro’s modernist building itself.
In that same year, 1963, the Sunday Telegraph’s art critic Edward Mullins listed the significant commissions that the artist had already notched up:
“six separate works for Coventry Cathedral (three windows and a Crown of Thorns among them); candles and altars for Chichester Cathedral; 30 relief panels for the Canberra liner; doors for two London banks; a light-fitting for a bank in Liverpool (‘I believe the teller resigned the next day,’); a mosaic for Liverpool University; a tapestry design for a sheikh’s palace in Kuwait; aluminium reliefs for two Cambridge colleges; screens for the Royal Military Chapel, Birdcage Walk, and most recently a relief sculpture for the new Nottingham Theatre.”
That unnamed relief sculpture fast became a much-loved feature of the Playhouse, known universally as “the Mural”. Long before the addition of the Neville Studio, it became an important performance space in its own right: poetry reading, folk nights and jazz recitals were all given “under the Mural”.
At one notorious after-show party, it was even scaled by an esteemed member of the backstage staff, perhaps slightly under the influence. No such things as Health or Safety in those days; we’d have to discourage anyone from repeating the feat nowadays.
Geoffrey Clarke died on 30 October, a month short of his 80th birthday. He was born in Darley Dale, Derbyshire, the son of an architect. Following war service in the RAF, he enrolled at the Royal College of Art. In his first year he won the silver medal at the Milan Triennale for a collaboration with furniture designer Robin Day – who would go on to design the seats for Nottingham Playhouse’s auditorium.
Clarke initially found fame for his work in stained glass, but was already experimenting with exposed concrete and abstract aluminium shapes, which he cast in his own foundry to a method he had devised himself. The Mural at Nottingham Playhouse is a classic example of his mature style. Associated by critics with the “geometry of fear” school, who responded to the damaged world of post-war Europe by sculpting gnarled and battered forms, Clarke’s work is now held in the collections of the Tate Gallery and V&A. Appointed a Royal Academician in 1975, he continued to work and exhibit throughout his life.
Over the years, Clarke’s Playhouse mural has become so integral a part of the building’s fabric that long-term attenders barely notice it, or look upon it as a familiar old friend. It took until 2001 for people to feel the same effects of puzzlement and pride once again, when the forecourt was graced by a new arrival by a fast-rising sculptor of the day, in this case Anish Kapoor.
As we progressed further into the 21st century, the foyer lighting was redesigned to highlight Clarke’s Mural anew in splashes of colour and give it its due recognition alongside Sky Mirror. Geoffrey Clarke may be gone, but long may his Mural tower over theatregoers at Nottingham Playhouse.

The Balvenie distillery was founded in 1892 by William Grant, who wanted to build a new distillery in order to help his other distillery at Glenfiddich to meet consumer demand. Glenfiddich had opened six years earlier and its whisky was proving extremely popular, so Grant decided to renovate nearby Balvenie House and its outbuildings. He bought and installed equipment that was deemed surplus at the Lagavulin and Glen Albyn distilleries. The distillery’s success was almost instantaneous, following on from Glenfiddich’s impressive start.
Most of the whisky produced at Balvenie was put towards Grant & Sons range of blended whiskies, especially Grant’s which has been one of the UK’s and the world’s top selling blends for many years. Regular single malt releases only really became common in the early 1970′s and the reputation of its sweet, creamy, rich whisky grew rapidly. This popularity led Grant & Sons to build another distillery next door and Kininvie started production in 1990. Kininvie was built solely to take the weight off Balvenie and Glenfiddich and everything produced there goes towards the Grant’s blended range. Balvenie and Glenfiddich now concentrate on meeting demand for their single malts, with only a small percentage now going to Grant’s new blend called Monkey Shoulder. Balvenie remains under the ownership of the Grant family, making William Grant & Sons one of the longest single family ownerships in the world. | <urn:uuid:b0045c39-9f63-44d7-8f38-1e94816aa00c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.oldliquorcompany.com/product/balvenie-17-years-islaycask/ | 2020-09-24T01:23:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.966912 | 321 |
More and more research seems to point to the fact that true innovator’s brains are actually different from other people’s brains. The big difference is that original thinkers – iconoclasts – innovators – whatever you want to call them, see the world differently than everyone else. Too many of us think “automatically” – in other words, we assume the way things should be, take a lot for granted, and don’t challenge our perceptions. But innovators don’t make those assumptions, and generally see the world the way it is. The secret of being an innovator is to bombard the brain with new experiences.
Force yourself to see the world in different ways. Travel. Meet new people. Think from different experiences. Live a life of novelty.
It’s no surprise many of our most innovative writers, artists, actors, filmmakers and more were a bit eccentric. They didn’t live their lives the way everyone else thought they should. Jesus was a great example of someone who lived outside other people’s expectations. As a result, these unusual people produce far more creative work because they refused to see “normal” as normal.
What’s your experience? Is there a routine you can break out of? What behavior can you shatter that would give you a new perspective on living? | <urn:uuid:6b3d5604-db3f-4417-8a70-1f468321b040> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.philcooke.com/innovators_brains/ | 2020-09-24T00:53:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.945083 | 281 |
Chicken feathers can come in an unlimited variety of colors. Each feather grows with its own blood supply to a predetermined length, width and type, and will systematically be replaced nearly every year or as damaged or lost.
Good feathering is a sign of good healthy but can also mask problems such as sudden weight loss, injury or parasites.
Probably the feather’s most important function is helping a chicken maintain a balanced body temperature. Feathers protect from the sun but also create a warmth barrier like a down sleeping bag or comforter.
Feathers can also provide protection from injury and it’s a fortunate chicken that leaves a mouthful of feathers in a would-be attacker’s mouth.
Chicken feathers, all bird feathers are marvels of design and must be maintained daily with hours of self-grooming. Most bird species have an oil gland at the top base of their tail.
With their beak they spread this oil from feather to feather creating a moisture barrier and conditioning each feather. The interlocking barbs that hold a feather’s shape are readjusted and set as needed with gentle systematic preening.
Chickens love to take dust baths. Often they will scratch up the ground, creating loose dirt in a 3 – 6” deep bowl shape, where they will kick up dust, shuffle it with their wings and roll around.
The dust bath can work like a dry shampoo absorbing excess oils from skin and feathers. Some parasites are greatly disturbed by these dust baths and are knocked off or leave.
of developing pullets and cockerels. As with many bird species the adult male chicken or rooster sports a much showier set of feathers.
His neck feathers generally create an exaggerated cape much like the mane of a lion. Towards the end of his back and beginning of his tail saddle feathers they gently drape his flanks and sickle shaped feathers highlight and define his masculine tail in many chicken breeds.
In a straight run (male and female chicks) group, these three feather types will be the first to develop in young males often before they begin to practice crowing or comb development is complete.
The common ancestor of all domestic chickens, the Red Junglefowl, gives us the potential for unlimited variety in chicken feathers colors, sizes and shapes.
This hearty wild chicken gives us a multicolored rooster and drab brownish hen. The roosters very similar in color to what we call BB Red in domestic breeds.
The hen’s drab color and markings help hide herself and her nest as she incubates her eggs and protects her young on the jungle floor. Besides attracting mates, the flashy and colorful rooster can use his feathering to distract predators nearing his hens and young.
His hens instinctively remain on the ground when incubating or rearing young, but both male and female are equipped with enough flight feathering and wing strength to create lift and roost in trees.
Chicken feathers of domesticated breeds often have very similar markings in both male and female, though some breeds mimic the Junglefowl’s camouflaged hen and colorful rooster. Often layer, dual purpose and meat breeds are unable to lift off the ground more than a few feet due to the much heavier muscles and bones bred into them.
Wings and feathers can only do so much for the less aerodynamic domesticated chicken, though visually, feathering is mostly in good proportion to body type and size. But always there are the exceptions…
The Silky is, or should be, void of all barbs that lock feathers together so its feathering looks more like fur. The Frizzle Cochin has been bred to grow feathers that seem to splash here and there from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feathery legs.
These and other chickens with such abnormal feathering, compared to their wild ancestors, may be able to jump down from a few feet but have trouble creating lift with their little wings covered with nothing but soft and fluffy feathers.
The on-set of cooler late summer and fall temperatures alerts us all to the coming winter. In nature and in many domestic species seasonal changes trigger physical changes. Chicken feathers respond with molting.
A chicken will shed many feathers and replace them for the best possible insulation from cold weather. Often hens will cease laying eggs during this time to allow vital nutrients to focus on new feather growth.

Blending happens between dyeing and carding and is the process of mixing precise recipes, or raw cashmere, to get the perfect fibre mix for each individual colour on the shade-card. During the blending process fibres pass through opening machines which separate the fibre staples and remove any dirt. Lubricants are then added via an atomizer. The lubricant is added to facilitate fibre movement without excessive fibre damage.
The cashmere is then taken to mixing chambers (unfortunately we didn’t get pictures of these but they are just like huge rooms or domes that the fibre is swirled around in) and layered to ensure good mixing before being pneumatically moved to the fearnought picker machine where final blending and opening is carried out. The fearnuaght is as terrifying as it sounds as you can see from images below. Nothing really stands a chance against it! It is nonetheless an amazing and quite beautiful piece of machinery.
Blending is the muckiest part of the process that the fibre goes through and it can take all day. Roughly speaking it can take up to 8 hours to blend a batch of e.g 500 kilos. The blended cashmere is then transferred in bales to the carding department ready for the next stage.
Below: The Fearnaught!
Enjoying the tour with Ian Scott, Head of Production, at Z Hinchliffe.
Below you can see some test blends. These are put through the sampling carding machine which is used to “shade” blends before they go into bulk production. This basically means the blend (recipe) is tested to see if the correct shade is achieved and that the recipe is correct.
The mill may have added new buildings as they’ve expanded and modernised but some features in the older buildings remain such as these large rollers on the ceiling in the blending department.
Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for the next instalment!

As part of the chauffeured transportation industry, limousine drivers face many risks. As a fleet owner, not only do you have your employees safety and your property to be concerned about, there are also risks involved when it comes to your customers’ safety. At the very least, the two products you should make sure are part of your New York limousine insurance policy are New York General Liability, and New York Business Auto.
With today’s litigious society, it’s impossible to eradicate every risk there is for your limousine business. However, general liability will insure your company for injuries to your employees or other third parties, including your customers. It will also help with legal defense costs should a lawsuit be brought upon you, and can cover any damages that come as a result of your company’s operations. For example, let’s say that in the unfortunate event that one of your drivers get involved in a collision, and is found “at fault”, an injured passenger decides to sue the driver for any medical and/or emotional damages they incurred. Not only will the general liability policy cover your employee, it will cover your business as well.
A New York business auto policy is another key product to include in your New York limousine insurance package. Business auto insurance protects your drivers and your company from any claims made due to physical vehicle damage that resulted from a crash, either to a limo in your fleet or another vehicle that was involved in a collision with your limo.
Overall, it does not matter if you own a small fleet of limos or a large one, or whether your company owns stretch limousines or sedans. Accidents can and do happen, and it’s best to be financially prepared for anything that may come your way.
At Tri-State Insurance Agency, we offer New York Limousine Insurance Coverage for this reason. We understand the importance of the transportation industry to our economy and the exposures those in the various segments face on the roads. Please contact us today for more information about the products we offer and the other industries we serve at (888) 990-0526. | <urn:uuid:eec40d37-5bff-4e50-ba31-1917adaeb6ba> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sboneinsurance.com/importance-of-new-york-limousine-insurance/ | 2020-09-24T01:35:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.956771 | 447 |
We advise and help with:
- The search for the perfect chair for you, through experience, knowledge and skills.
- Finding the right chairs for small and larger organizations. Chairs that fit your company and your budget.
- Adjustment – next to the chair – of the rest of the workplace.
Ergonomics has become a marketing term that is used for everything, but what does it actually mean?
It means that when you design something, you keep in mind that it will be used by people. That you ensure that it is safe, does not endanger health, but also that it is comfortable to use. With this you hope to have a positive influence on someone’s productivity. Therefore, the term ‘ergonomic’ is usually used in relation to the workplace. However, it does not mean that an ‘ergonomic product’ is by definition of good quality or that an ‘ergonomic product’ is always suitable for you.
A chair in which everyone fits a little bit is not comfortable for anyone.”
In particular, ergonomic guidelines such as the NPR1813 can sometimes be misleading. It is no more than a list of sizes and adjustment options that a chair must meet, so that the ‘average person’ fits into it. It says nothing more about the comfort of the chair and if you do not meet the size of the ‘average person, then this guideline excludes you. A chair in which everyone fits a little bit is not comfortable for anyone. | <urn:uuid:c595d617-5d6a-4c66-ab04-db37863c2cd9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.scholtenswerkplek.nl/en/advice/ | 2020-09-24T02:33:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.969051 | 314 |

The fully constituted 11-member board of the Owens Valley Groundwater Authority sort of looks like the early days of a marriage—an arranged marriage in which the partners really don’t know each other or what to expect from the relationship.
The Authority held its fifth meeting last Thursday. It took the first four before the members were comfortable committing to funding levels and the corresponding voting power. Now the OVGA has to establish itself as the sole agency for the Owens Valley groundwater basin, at least that part not under land owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, hire a plan consultant, bring in two levels of participants—identified as associates and interested parties and figure out a process to reimburse members as the state grant funding becomes available.
In other words, this marriage isn’t going to get any simpler in the near future.
Here are the highlights of Thursday’s meeting:
Inyo County’s Water Department and legal staff will continue to provide services to the Authority, but now that work will be billable to the OVGA. The estimated cost of those services were embedded into the approved budget, but members wanted to see a breakdown of the rates at the next meeting.
In order to establish itself as the agency developing a plan for the basin, the OVGA has to hold a public hearing, then file as the sole agency. At the same time Inyo and Mono counties, Bishop and Tri-Valley Groundwater Management District have to rescind their individual applications as GSAs. OVGA’s public hearing is tentatively set for May, in time to meet the June 30 deadline.
Water Department staff has already begun putting together the request for proposals, step one in the process of hiring a plan consultant. After 40 minutes of discussion, Bishop rep, Joe Pecsi, suggested sending the draft to members and interested parties for comment.
The OVGA now begins bringing in associates and interested parties through an application process. To participate as an associate, entities have to commit to implement the plan within their jurisdiction. The breakdown is as follows: four Tribes with two votes each; federal agencies with a total of two votes, LADWP would get four votes and three mutual water companies can participate with two votes each. Interested parties include agriculture, environmental groups and domestic well owners. Four will be selected with one vote each. The voting structures was determined to ensure the 11-member board of eligible agencies maintain 70-percent of the voting power.
The meeting had to be adjourned before the board could begin discussing the issue of reimbursement. | <urn:uuid:ecf2edb3-d43f-4c2e-a208-d84b750740fb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sierrawave.net/first-meeting-of-ovga-with-fully-constituted-board/ | 2020-09-24T01:40:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.968116 | 532 |

Natalie is our VET in Schools Coordinator who works closely with public, independent and private schools to offer delivery of a range of Certificates within schools. She is relationship driven and enjoys working with and supporting our partnered schools
I am delighted to announce that I have very warmly been welcomed to join the Skills Strategies International team based in Mandurah.
I have over 30 years’ experience of customer service, leadership and education.
I grew up in England where my parents ran a typical English Pub and after a stint working in customer service for Carnival Cruise Lines around the Caribbean Islands back in the 90’s, I spent the next 14 years in the Fitness and Leisure Industry as an Instructor and duty manager in various private and public leisure clubs. This led to a degree in Nutrition which then steered me into what my mother called a ‘proper job’ and I became a secondary school teacher in Food Technology & Hospitality.
In 2011, I emigrated with my husband and two children to beautiful Western Australia and joined ‘M on the Point’ now The Peninsula in Mandurah. I also joined South Metropolitan TAFE as a Lecturer and worked both jobs for some time until my Lecturing position became full time. They were fantastic days, and I learnt so much about the local Hospitality, Tourism & Events industry, and was fortunate to be involved in so many opportunities, both paid and volunteering roles, such as the Mandurah Crab Fest, The Gourmet Escape, at the WACA for the Ashes, the One Day Internationals and for Intercruises in Fremantle. I have also met so many professional people in the industry along the way taking students on excursions to what seems like every hotel and event in WA! I have worked in Fine Dining Training Restaurants in Fremantle and Bentley, Chefs Dinners and Wine Tasting events.
I have delivered courses from Certificate II up to Diploma level and worked in and out of the classroom with the VET programs in schools, Traineeships in the workplace, SODEXO training courses in accommodation services for FIFO positions, delivering accessible skill sets for disability students and have been fortunate to have worked with a diverse range of very interesting people.
I responded to a community advertisement last year to help form a not for profit organisation to connect local youths to safe activities, and one year on I am now the President with a team of passionate local people making big changes in the community, such as putting on outdoor movie events and pop up youth festivals specifically for teenagers. Covid got in the way a bit, but Secret Harbour Youth Focus is back up and running once more.
I am also studying Certificate IV in Mental Health as I believe in wellbeing in the home, workplace and the community, and together we can all do our bit to make things that bit easier for the person standing next to us.
Unfortunately, my previous position moved 60km away and I found myself disconnected with the local community and my passions of engaging local people to reach their individual goals. It was a huge decision to leave my safe and secure position, but they say change is as good as a rest, and nothing changes unless you make it change. So here I am, enthusiastic and ready to work with the very supportive and friendly Skills Strategies International team.
I have been in the Aged care industry for 15 years as a Carer/Coordinator of an Aged Care facility and also started up and coordinated an extremely successful Leisure Based day centre. For the past 3 years I have been a Trainer and Assessor.
I have really enjoyed being a carer for our elderly residents and being able to help them to do the every day tasks that we all take for granted. If I wasn’t there maybe they wouldn’t have had a shower that day or even eaten a decent meal. It is truly a rewarding job.
Now my passion is training others who want to look after our elderly and to pass on my stories and knowledge to them. This way they too can learn from my experience and put into practice what they have learnt.
One day we are all going to need some help and my wish is to have people out there in the workforce who want to be there and want to look after our older generation.
Aside from my passion for elderly people is my passion for my grandchildren. I have 3 wonderful grandchildren who I spend every available minute with having sleepovers, taking them swimming and weekends away, knowing that one day they will grow up and not want to hang out with Gran Gran as often as they do now.

Howe believes that Jarrett Stidham still remains the Patriots best option as the starting quarterback in 2020 then any of the draft options Belichick could select in April.
Most New England Patriots fans are hoping that when the 2020 NFL season starts Bill Belichick just keeps things simple and has our beloved number 12 behind center.
Even though there are a lot of rumors floating around that the Patriots haven't shown any interest, it's been heavily reported by real reporters that the Patriots are just sitting tight and waiting to see what happens with the proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement. The current projected salary cap for the 2020 season is $200 million, but if the NFLPA members vote yes for the new CBA, then the cap could be increased significantly. Until that happens, I wouldn't expect much action between Brady and the Patriots.
If Belichick is playing a dangerous game and loses, that would result in Brady walking away and the Patriots needing to replace him. According to Jeff Howe of the Athletic "Short of a collision of unexpected events, the Patriots probably won’t be finding their 2020 starting quarterback in the current draft class."
For the sake of this conversation, let's pretend the worst case scenario happens and Tom Brady signs with either the Las Vegas Raiders, LA Chargers, or the Tennessee Titans, Howe believes that Jarrett Stidham still remains the Patriots best option as the starting quarterback in 2020 then any of the draft options Belichick could select in April.
"Based on information gathered around the NFL, the 2020 draft class has two solid franchise quarterbacks – Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa – and both are expected to be selected in the first few picks. It would take an unprecedented trade for the Patriots to move up the board, hypothetically moving all of their picks in the next two drafts just to get in range."
After Burrow and Tagovaiola, Justin Herbert and Jordan Love are the next two quarterbacks in line. Depending on the Draft class, sometimes selecting the third best quarterback is a great thing and a team is getting a franchise quarterback and the Patriots wouldn't need to trade up to the top 5 to get Herbert, but they would still need to trade up to the top 10, and Justin Herbert is not a slam dunk candidate.
"Herbert is viewed as the third-best quarterback in the class, but there’s some debate whether he’ll be a franchise piece or a bottom-half starter. The Oregon product has an elite arm, but his mechanics are a bit funky and he generated a lot of yards through screens and run-pass options. While he has executed some pro-style looks, it’s unclear how ready he’ll be to do it on a fulltime basis at the NFL level without some offensive ingenuity."
Jordan Love who has been unfairly compared to Patrick Mahomes because of the arm angles he's able to throw the ball, but that's really where the comparison should end.
"He’s the hot name in the class and figures to blow up the combine because of his mechanics, arm talent and touch. Love was made for this type of atmosphere. - There are concerns beyond that, but teams will have to assess the circumstances behind them. Love was much better in 2018 than 2019, when the talent at Utah State was inferior. Talent evaluators saw Love try to overcompensate by the lack of supporting cast, force too many passes, leave the pocket too early to try to make plays on his own and open himself up to mistakes. Love was also bitten by upwards of 80 drops during his two seasons as a starter."
Love could eventually turn into a very reliable starter, especially if he played under a coach like Josh McDaniels, but if the Patriots did select Love in this years Draft, the bar should be set very low, and there should be zero expectations that he be the Patriots starter in 2020, if Brady wasn't there.
I would give the Patriots about a 50/50 shot at being able to draft Love with the 23rd pick. If Love is selected in the top 20, I don't think it's worth it for the Patriots to move up. If Brady did leave the Patriots this year, then the Patriots should focus on building their other positions. The Patriots can try and sign one of the cheaper veterans available, and focus on finding their franchise quarterback next season. Belichick already made his gamble in 2014 when drafted Jimmy Garoppolo, it made sense at the time. Taking a gamble on quarterback in 2020 makes zero sense.
Jake Fromm could be seen as a franchise quarterback, but I'm not entirely sure he fits into the modern day NFL. He is a slower, less accurate version of Tom Brady with bad mechanics, and awful pocket presence. It will take a long for Fromm to develop into a starting quarterback if ever does, and he's just not worth the risk for the Patriots right now.
"The issues have been with Fromm’s mobility, anticipation, mechanics, arm strength, pocket presence, scrambling ability and accuracy with the deep ball. That’s quite the list. - Aside from the mobility and a degree of arm strength, most of that can be corrected with the right coaching, but it’s going to take some time. Are the positive traits worth the 23rd pick and subsequent patience? That’s a lot to ask unless the Patriots truly believe Fromm has franchise potential."
Jacob Eason and Jalen Hurts are solid options, and there have been rumors floating around that the Patriots are interested in drafting Eason. But, like Jordan Love, neither candidate would be ready to start for the Patriots in 2020.
How the Patriots address the quarterback situation if Tom Brady leaves comes down to one of two factors. If Belichick drafts a quarterback, then he has to sign a veteran. A rookie can't sit behind Jarrett Stidham and learn. If the Patriots don't think the future is in the draft, then they could still sign a veteran that they think can compete with the Patriots, or they could run with Jarrett Stidham.
Regardless of happens in the draft, the Patriots best option for 2020 is re-signing Tom Brady. Whether they find their quarterback of the future, that's really a wait and see, but if we are to follow the same line of thinking as Jeff Howe, we definitely won't be seeing a 2020 draft prospect starting for the Patriots. | <urn:uuid:6e9426ba-3377-4cb6-b616-da66696aac17> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tecmohole.com/patriots-2020-starting-qb-wont-come-from-draft/ | 2020-09-24T02:12:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.964974 | 1,308 |

0 - INTRODUCTION
- Format String vulnerabilities result from data entry in a program under the guise of "format strings". The format strings are characters used in the input and output functions to specify the conversion between a data set and a string of characters.
- Thus, vulnerability is a result of the interpretation by the program of data inputs as instructions or commands of language itself. The consequences of the attack would be for example the execution of arbitrary code, reading or dumping the stack as a protected information disclosure, and denial of service, all affecting the security and stability of the system.
- Although C and C ++ languages are prone to suffer from Format String attacks, other programming languages are also vulnerable to these attacks, such as Perl, PHP, Java, Ruby, etc ...
- The below links offer information about Format String attacks in several different languages than C / C ++:
- During the resolution of this exercise the C language has been used because it is traditionally which has suffered most attacks of Format String type.
- To explain the attack should be noted the following:
a) Function Format: ANSI C standard converts a variable primitive programming language as a format function representation in the form of readable string for a human being. For example: printf, fprintf, sprintf, etc ... are examples of language functions in format C. Such functions are called variadics, and characterized by accepting a variable number of arguments. As we will be seen below, the arguments can be of two types: on the one hand the argument that characterizes the format output, on the other hand the values to be formatted.
b) Format String: this is the set of arguments used in the function format and are composed of text and parameters ASCIIZ (ASCII Code 0, strings ending in 0) type. Its utility is to specify and control the representation of variables. They are quoted, for example: printf ( "Today is November day %d. \ n", 22);
c) Conversion Character: this is the parameter that defines the type of conversion to be performed by the format function. For example %d (integer, reads an integer from memory), %f (Floating point, reading a real number format from memory), %c (char, a single character), %s (string, reading from the memory of a string of characters), %x (reading from the stack an hexadecimal number), etc ...
- As mentioned above, the attack would be implemented by inserting entries maliciously crafted, what would not be adequately validated by the program, so that the behavior function format would be different than expected.
- Regarding comparison with Stack Overflow attacks, both attacks seem interested in making a malicious usage of the stack. However, while the attack Stack Overflow is specially designed to rewrite the contents of the stack, forcing the program to execute arbitrary instructions, the Format String attack focuses on using converters from C language, for example %s, %x, etc ..., so that the stack interpreters the converters as part of the entered parameter in the function as an argument.
- The consequences of an Stack Overflow attack usually result in altering the flow control program, which executes its instructions leading to different outputs from initial purpose. However, Format String attacks are oriented either to the disclosure of information stored in certain memory locations or the denial of service (DoS). Both cases can be checked in detail in the following example.
1 - FORMAT STRING ATTACK - EXAMPLE - Disclosure of information and DoS
- To ilustrate the Format String attack a simple program (fs.c) written in C will be used.
- The original purpose of the program is simply to return to the screen the argument entered by the user at the command line.
- However, the program contains proprietary information ("INFORMACION 1" and "INFORMACION 2") that might be disclosed using a Format String attack.
- Editing and compiling the program in a Linux enviroment:
- Let's examine the code of the program. Two pointers (*s1 and *s2) are defined to memory locations that store certain reserved information:
- Also, an instruction has been introduced which aims simply to print out the argument argv inserted by the user via the command line:
printf (argv );
- Thus, the purpose of the program in not at all intended to "reveal" the information stored in s1 and s2, but simply return to the screen the argument entered by the user.
- However, let's see how through manipulation of the command line input the result can be very different than expected.
- First, let's enter a string in the command line argument, which is printed below the screen, according to the proper purpose of the program:
- However, let's see what happens when the arguments are entered by the user conversion characters.
- Introducing %s:
- Introducing %s%s:
- Introducing HOLA%s%s:
- It is observed that by introducing in the command line the converter %s a "revelation of information" (information disclosure, information leakage) occurs, so that the program behavior differs from the original purpose of it.
- As defined in the program, pointers *s1 and *s2 are stored on the stack in consecutive positions, prior to argument argv expected to be received by the line command.
- Thus, upon receiving as input the conversion character %s, the printf function reads from the stack the nearest string, printing it. Upon receiving %s%s it performs the same operation with the two strings stored in the stack.
- To check the above concepts and analyze the contents of the stack the gdb GNU debugger will be used on the program.
- The disassembly of the main function shows that the call to printf function occurs in the memory address 0x08048433:
- Setting a breakpoint just before the call to printf, at the above address 0x08048433:
-The program is run with the input argument HOLA:
- The content of the stack is analyzed:
- Arguments received by the printf routine are stored in the lower memory addresses of the stack:
- The stack would have the following content, from low to high memory, placing the esp pointing to the direction 0xbffff598, which contains the string HOLA introduced by command line:
- This explains that while printf reads arguments stored on the stack they are consecutively printed on the screen. In this case only HOLA because it has been executed the gdb command (gdb) run HOLA:
- Now, what would happen in case of introducing into the program many string parameters, beyond the values stored on the stack? The program would begin to read meaningless memory addresses, printing strange characters:
- Finally, in case of entering more converters % s the result would be the failure of the program (segmentation fault), because it would be trying to access invalid addresses. For example:
- See the same result in gdb:
- The program finishes running with a SIGSEGV signal indicating an invalid memory access, or segmentation fault.
- In this late case the attack would result into a denial-of-service attack (DoS), since the program fails without performing the purpose for it was written.
- Another interesting converter for conducting String Format attacks is converter % x, which reads the stack in hexadecimal values.
- Let's see what happens with gdb running on four %x converters :
- At that point of the execution, the contents of the stack are:
- The program runs to the end, and the output matches the contents of the stack, except the first memory location (whose content will be seen soon):
- The first contents of the stack (lowest memory addresses) are the converters themselves %x% x%x%x, introduced as parameters:
- It can be observed the same result running the program directly from the command line, with fout %x converters arranged in the form of 0x%08x. The result would be the dump of the stack content.
- It means that the memory addresses stored on the stack in hexadecimal format would be obtained:
- Since the program output matches the contents of the stack it is concluded that the information disclosure attack has been successful. | <urn:uuid:db264cb1-44ea-4726-a87a-fa8d1cc4955b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.whitelist1.com/2016/11/xformat-string-attacks-disclosure-of_2.html | 2020-09-24T01:52:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.889393 | 1,731 |
Are you wondering if it's time to go or you should stay together and work on rebuilding your marriage instead? If so, you're not the first woman to struggle with this question. If you are in the middle of a relationship crisis and possibly on the brink of asking for a divorce, take some time to read the article below to gain some insight on making this difficult decision.
By Lawrence Birnbach, Ph.D. & Beverly Hyman, Ph.D.
Ann and Gary have two children. When Gary is home his major interest is watching sports TV. Ann longs to be more social with family and friends. She'd like to talk more with Gary. He says there is nothing much to talk about, and besides, she talks too much. Gary often criticizes Ann. He thinks Ann is too strict with their children. She thinks he's uninvolved. Their lack of communication and closeness has spread to their sex life which is neither frequent nor enjoyable. She has lost respect for Gary, and feels he doesn't treat her with respect. When Gary has aggravation at work, Ann no longer feels sympathetic. Ann feels the life has gone out of their marriage; it has become an empty shell. She may be right.
Ann, like millions of married women, lies awake at night asking herself "Is this all I can expect out of life? Are we just going through a rough patch? Would I be happier if I divorced?"
How does anyone having problems in their marriage, know if it's time to go? Ending a marriage is one of life's most difficult decisions. Before making it, a person should leave no stone unturned in trying to heal and bring life back to their marriage.
Open a dialogue: Ann needs to open a dialogue with Gary. She needs to be clear about what she is troubled by. In our book, How to Know If It's Time to Go, we offer a "Marriage Test," a "Marriage Bill of Rights," and "The Nine Areas," these are the areas all couples must resolve differences in. With these tools Ann can identify where the strengths and weaknesses are in her marriage.
Ann must impress Gary with how serious their situation is. Many times a spouse won't take the other seriously until they believe that, if things don't change, it will mean the end of the marriage. They need to have a two way discussion in which they each express their disappointments and wishes for their relationship. Each needs to understand that they have to take some responsibility for getting to this low point. It can't just be a blame game. If they can't start communicating with each other, there is little hope that the relationship can improve.
Seek help: It would be ideal if Ann could convince Gary to go with her to speak with a counselor or a clergyman, or join a marriage support group. If he won't, she should go alone. To fix the marriage both people will need to make changes, but Ann can't control Gary. All she can do is make changes she can make which might help their relationship. After trying to do what she can, if nothing changes, she should deal with her fears of separation.
People fear the impact that separating will have on their children, their finances and themselves. Most of what they fear is not what happens for the vast majority of people, although life's routines are disrupted during a transition period after separation.
The facts: Here are facts that would be helpful for Ann, or anyone considering divorce, to know:
Dr. Birnbach has worked as a psychoanalyst for over 25 years, helping couples and individuals work through their relationship troubles. Dr. Hyman is an organizational consultant and internationally known business specialist facilitating clients in the area of in conflict management. Together, they have written HOW TO KNOW IF IT'S TIME TO GO: A 10-Step Reality Test for Your Marriage.
If you're still struggling with the decision of whether it's time to go ahead with a divorce or if you should stay and work on the marriage, the following articles can help you work through your issues: | <urn:uuid:6c3b6997-42a6-4488-bef3-74a2f2bbfa73> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.womansdivorce.com/time-to-go.html | 2020-09-24T01:03:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.98024 | 838 |

Oh I hear you now- but "what about when I do something really terrible Krysta? I should feel badly for it."
Yes. Feeling conviction or remorse is a healthy sign of an intact conscience; but that's not shame.
Like hopelessness, shame seeks to have the last word. It's a period at the end of the sentence which intends to gobble up anything that comes after. Shame is sticky and heavy and weighs you down.
Shame says "I am bad."
Remorse says "Try harder next time."
Shame says "Why bother? I'm a piece of shit anyway."
Remorse says "We all make mistakes."
Shame says "I am deeply flawed inside."
Remorse leaves room for empathy.
Shame marinates in self-pity.
Remorse leads to problem-solving.
Shame leads to a choking stagnation.
Remorse reaches out to make amends.
Shame shrinks back and isolates you.
If you're having a hard time recovering after a failure, ask yourself: "Am I feeling shame or remorse?" It's easy to tell by the fruit it bears. Remorse propels you into something better, more connected, more true. Shame is stagnate, cut off, and hateful.
If you discover a weed of shame, don't panic. We all have them. But please don't let it grow.
Instead, remember yourself as a small baby or toddler. Did you have shame? Look at the way you feel and love and run naked through sprinklers. Nope. No shame there. This is how we know shame is not meant for us.
We are not born into shame. We catch shame. Like a virus. Shame is put upon us. It is not inherently ours.
This is where the work is: you need to figure out how and where you caught that shame. Where did it get put upon you? Where did it start? (Hint: Shame grows and spreads through life but usually the first origin is early on.)
Name it. And give it back. Disown the shame.
Oh, keep the remorse. Make amends. Own your part.
But I'm begging you- ditch the shame. It lies. It says that it's a necessary part of the process. But it isn't. The truth is, shame never did a single person any good. It is only a cancer, eating away at areas of health and connection. It leaves behind malignancy and death.
You and your worth are separate from what you do. They have to be. Otherwise, once you've done bad things you are "bad" and that becomes the end of the story. Shame has the last word.
Try this idea instead: the choices that you make reveal something about you. Choices that are harmful reveal places you are wounded and need to do some personal growing. They are an opportunity. You are an opportunity. You are capable of healing, and growing, and learning, and doing better. Recognizing you made a bad choice is the first step.
This is the beauty of un-learning shame. What was once a chapter closing has now become a new chapter beginning. Your mistakes are not the final word. They are not a life sentence.
You are not your mistakes. | <urn:uuid:ae493f45-cbfb-4dc4-8f9a-a66790b2dad0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.confessionsofatherapist.com/2016/10/shame.html | 2020-09-25T09:08:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.972971 | 686 |
This is the story of Peter Nimble, a ten-year-old blind orphan... who also happens to be the greatest thief who ever lived. One fateful afternoon he steals a box from a mysterious traveller - a box that contains three pairs of magical eyes.
Little does Peter know that these eyes will transport him on an unforgettable adventure to discover his true identity.
If you enjoyed Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events then you will probably love this book too. It is a rather fanciful story of Peter Nimble a ten year old blind orphan who, after stealing a box, ends up on a rather magical adventure and in a little twist at the end discovers who he really is.
This book is aimed at the 8 - 14 year old age group but as with the Lemony Snicket books is an enjoyable read for the older reader also. Not many books can capture across an age range but this book is one that I would feel just as comfortable recommending to an adult as I would an 8-14 year old.
I did find with this book being very thick (it is paper back) that the size of it made it not so comfortable to read. I would have preferred the book to be slightly larger and thus thinner and easier to keep open.
It was a good read however and very vividly described so I have this amazing picture of the "land" that Peter finds himself in. Peter is blind so the author does try to convey a sense of what Peter would be seeing, if he could see, which I think helps the reader to then imagine the world Peter has entered. It is a magical world so when you do find yourself thinking that Peter is pretty adept at getting around, for a blind ten year old boy, the author can be excused as of course this isn't a real story...! The three pairs of Fantastic Eyes weren't actually my favourite part of the book and I more enjoyed the adventures that Peter had trying to find out the meaning of the riddle that he had in his possession.
I did love some of the characters personalities - especially his side kick Sir Tode, the lovely names the author comes up with and trying to unravel who the goodies and baddies really were which wasn't very easy! Threaded through the book is how important friends are and the importance of your true nature and instincts which I liked. Like the magical palace with its twists and turns I did enjoy how you were never quite sure what was coming next and without giving the story away there are some lovely little bits in the book which really do make it just that little bit special. This is a great first novel from Johnathan Auxier and I look forward to reading any future novels that he may write.
Peter Nimble is the tale of a ten year old blind orphan who has been schooled in a life of thievery.
Peter had a rough start to his life as ravens pecked out his eyes while he was floating in the sea. He was taken in by a horrid man who saw a way of making a living off Peter's amazing talents of stealing.
This tale of magic, heroes, ape guards and adventure is not to be taken too seriously and is why it is aimed at the 8 to 14 year old age group. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cant wait to read it too my son when he is a little older.
One of the things I enjoyed the most was how the author includes the reader:
"you have been witness to"
"probably not unlike your own life"
It gave the book a kind of Lemony Snicket feel.
I think Peter Jackson should make this into a movie....FANTASTIC! This is a very enjoyable read and will be lending it to my 10 year old nephew who I know will love it.

Custom replacement windows can help you to make a more eco friendly and energy efficient home. If you have an unusually shaped or sized window, you will probably need to get custom replacement windows if one has become damaged. If you are going to put the extra money into nonstandard, custom replacement windows, it may be worth the extra money and effort to ensure that you get a high quality product that will help to lower your monthly energy bill and carbon footprint.
Large windows could not be possible until the modern glass making process was refined. Since large glass panes were able to be made, windows and their underlying technologies have evolved a lot to compensate for some of the issues that large windows cause. There are several features that you can have in a window that contribute to its effectiveness and energy efficiency. Double pane insulated glass, coatings, airtight frames, and others all contribute to a window that keeps outside conditions out and inside conditions in. In so doing, they lower your energy costs by up to 15%. Some window coatings actually block UV radiation, which can help to keep the inside of your home cool and to reduce sun damage to your carpets and other things inside. Another kind of coating will actually make the window somewhat self cleaning: it breaks down organic matter as it collects on the window.
Window repairs and installing replacement windows should be a relatively fast process. When it comes to cleaning them, one man is able to clean three 45 square inch windows in less than 16 seconds. Your service will probably not be quite that fast, but if you need custom replacement windows, you can still get them in a reasonable time for your order.

Lord Jesus Christ, — “He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords; who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light; … To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.” 1 Tim:6:14-16
“Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Matt 9:35
“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick” Luke 9:1-2
The message that Jesus preached was the gospel of the kingdom of God. A simple definition of a kingdom is a domain where a king rules. The kingdom of God implies a King and Jesus is that King. Not only did Jesus preach the kingdom of God, but His disciples were instructed to preach the kingdom. In fact, Jesus connected the accomplishment of the church’s mission to the full declaration of the gospel of the kingdom to all the nations as a witness before the end would come (Matt.24:14). The purpose of this writing is to focus on the King of the Kingdom. Simply put, where ever Jesus has rule, there the kingdom has come.
David caught a glimpse of this King and wrote of Him in Psalm 2.
“Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.”…”Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.” “I will declare the decree: the LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession….Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” Ps 2:1-3,6-8,10-12
Daniel saw him in a night vision.
“I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.” Dan 7:13-14
At His ascension Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” Matt. 28:18 The implications of that are staggering. His supreme rule extends over all. He rules over space. He rules over time and eternity. He rules over nature. And, although there are pockets of rebellion currently remaining in the hearts of men, His rule shall eventually and inevitably extend to every individual, for Scripture states in Phil. 2:10-11 “at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, …, and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Romans 10:9 states “… if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
The acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is directly connected to His saving grace, but I am convinced many people don’t fully understand the significance of the statement that Jesus is Lord.

After experiencing tremendous experiential testimonials from Doctors, Physical Therapists, Pastors, Psychologists, Teachers, Massage Therapists and Parents alike, we have massively expanded #MeditationOrchestra music and guided Christian meditation outreach ministry.
We’ve received some very amusing and sad and disturbing messages and comments across our 50+ YouTube channels about the usage of “Rainbows” on album covers. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus and ALL our works are to glorify God and to point to the creator of heaven and earth and ALL of us who welcomes back every lost sheep who repents and trusts in Him alone. The inspiration of rainbows is not some 21st century pride flag but rather from the Book of Revelation in the Holy Bible written 2,000+ years ago, the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God. The flag itself could simply be a “sign of the times”, but might confuse those left behind one day (after the church is raptured from earth).
#Rainbows in #BookOfRevelation – “I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire; and he had in his hand a little book which was open. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left on the land; and he cried out with a loud voice, as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, the seven peals of thunder uttered their voices.”
These were The Bible verses that inspired the cover and motivated the release of #Ancient #Meditation #Orchestra Volume 1 produced by Brian Cimins with Natasha Kashanova for 9 original #BrainWave and #AncientOrchestra #BackgroundMusic tracks plus 5 Bonus Guided Meditations from Meditate With Me coming soon to #iTunes #Amazon #GooglePlay and digital music stores worldwide.

Easter 2 • John 20:19–31 • April 3, 2016
By David Maxwell
The Breath of God
“[Jesus] breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld” (Jn 20:22–23).
This is not the first time that God breathed on human beings. By breathing on his disciples and saying, “Receive the Holy Spirit,” Jesus is in effect re-enacting Genesis 2:7, where “the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” The sermon sketched out here explores the connection between these two verses. How does our knowledge of the Old Testament background enrich our understanding of John 20?
At first glance, the connection between John 20 and the creation of Adam is not obvious. After all, the reception of the Spirit in John 20 is focused on the authority to forgive and retain sins. Indeed, in the fifth chief part, Luther’s Small Catechism uses John 20:22–23 in support of the statement, “The Office of the Keys is that special authority which Christ has given to his church on earth to forgive the sins of repentant sinners, but to withhold forgiveness from the unrepentant as long as they do not repent.” In Genesis 2:7, on the other hand, the breath of God gives life to Adam.
This is a puzzling connection because we often think of forgiveness of sins in rather narrow terms. Forgiveness is about balancing our account with God. We need to be able to check off every sin with a corresponding absolution so that there is nothing remaining against us on the last day. But the fact that Jesus evokes the creation account in Genesis 2 when he institutes absolution forces us to reconsider our understanding of forgiveness.
In John 20 Jesus is, in a sense, re-creating the human race through the Holy Spirit given to the disciples. We should therefore understand forgiveness not only to balance our accounts, as it were, but to bring us into a new relationship with our creator, who gives us life. Forgiveness is God’s promise that whatever we have done in the past, he is not going to let that separate us from his love.
The example of a human family may be helpful to illustrate the point. When children do something wrong, they feel fear because they are “in trouble.” In their minds, normal family life is suspended because their parents are angry with them. Will they get an angry lecture? Will privileges be taken away? But most importantly, will things ever be back to normal? When they hear words of forgiveness, those words are a promise that family life will continue and they will continue to be welcomed in it. Children do not run to a ledger and check off the sin. Instead, they relax because they are comforted by this promise.
In the same way, God’s words of forgiveness assure us that we continue to be welcome in his family, the newly created human race. Once again the Small Catechism says it best. In the sixth chief part is the question, “What is the benefit of this eating and drinking?” Luther says, “Where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life and salvation.” With that in mind, it is not surprising that Jesus would evoke the creation of life in Genesis 2 when he gives the Spirit for the forgiveness of sins in John 20. | <urn:uuid:5d1b1acf-2f72-4129-832d-fa57797d9e77> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://concordiatheology.org/2016/03/easter-2-%E2%80%A2-john-2019-31-%E2%80%A2-april-3-2016/ | 2020-09-25T09:34:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.959429 | 755 |
Scaling Storage in a Dot-com World
Storage: Again with the storage. Such is the bittersweet mantra mouthed by many dot-com IT administrators these days. In an e-commerce space in which storage capacities are increasing faster than Federal Reserve-mandated interest rates, IT managers face the unenviable task of planning a storage infrastructure capable of scaling with the topsy-turvy pace of e-business.
As a rule, storage vendors are quite bullish on the long-term prospects of the information economy. Storage giant EMC Corp. (www.emc.com), for example, cites a recent study by the Marcar Management Institute of America Inc. (www.marcar.com) that pegs the current size of the global information economy at $3.5 trillion; by 2010, the Marcar report projects, the global information economy will have nearly tripled to $10.2 trillion.
According to Robert Gray, a research manager for storage systems with market research firm IDC (www.idc.com), storage vendors have good reason to be bullish. In Gray’s account, the mechanism that is today driving the global information economy -- the Internet -- is enabled largely by virtue of persistent storage.
"There is no Internet without persistent storage, which provides nothing less than the content of the information economy," Gray explains. "The Internet is only interesting if you can get access to content, and content always resides on persistent storage."
What this likely means for dot-com storage managers, most analysts agree, is that such problems of scale are only likely to get bigger.
IBasis Inc. (www.ibasis.net), a provider of IP telephony services, seems at once to embody both the agony and the ecstasy of today’s dot-com enterprise. IBasis enjoys robust growth, counts over 350,000 customer voice mail boxes, and has a lucrative telephony contract in place with MCI WorldCom Inc. (www.wcom.com). The company also has a storage infrastructure that has grown in the space of a few months from zero to 38 TB.
Search engine and Internet portal site Excite Inc. (www.excite.com) has rolled out more than 110 TB of EMC-based storage in just under 20 months, and free e-mail service Critical Path Inc. (www.criticalpath.net) has deployed 80 TB of storage in a six month span. Not to be outdone, Driveway Corp. (www.driveway.com), a site that provides free online storage and other services for end users, rolled out approximately 40 TB of storage within the space of a single month. The dot-com space abounds with zero-to-multi-TB success stories, and all indications are that the trend will only continue.
For ventures like iBasis or Critical Path scaling an internal storage infrastructure to meet the requirements of the dot-com lifestyle is not easy.
As far as Ajay Joseph, director of network architecture at iBasis, is concerned, the key to developing a scalable storage architecture is modularity: One has to be able to plug a predetermined amount of storage into an environment without affecting system or application processes -- and also be able to remove it just as easily.
"It’s difficult to find out bandwidth profiles and user profiles, so we’ve kind of been in the midst of being conservative and too far out in terms of our sizing requirements for this particular project," Joseph acknowledges. "But the important thing is that we’ve designed the network so that it’s designed for redundancy and it’s been designed for a cell size of 175,000 users, so it’s very modular so that you can plug storage into it and take storage out of it as needed."
As IDC’s Gray points out, most storage vendors today are indeed thinking modularly.
"All storage today is modular," he explains, noting that in the case of organizations that experience fast-paced storage growth, vendors such as IBM Corp. (www.ibm.com) or EMC will sometimes "build" surplus storage into an environment. In this model, Gray explains, storage can be "turned on" -- and customers can be billed accordingly for storage capacity increases -- as demand dictates.
For much of its life, network attached storage (NAS) has toiled in the shadows of its bigger, ostensibly beefier cousin: the SAN. SANs are a key tool that storage managers have at their disposal in the race to architect scalable storage infrastructures, but in a dot-com space in which both modularity and plug-and-play expandability are key, dot-com ventures are giving NAS solutions a longer, harder look.
NAS defines an architecture in which a storage subsystem can effectively be plugged into a network. It’s that simple. NAS devices typically feature embedded operating systems that provide network- and file system-level support, which means that clients and servers of just about any ilk can transparently read from and write to NAS devices on a network. And because it can support a variety of network topologies and interfaces, such as 100 MB Ethernet or even Gigabit Ethernet, NAS can provide a fast, efficient and modular way to easily add storage to an environment.
IBasis, for example, selected a Symmetrix NAS solution from EMC in place of the latter company’s Connectrix solution. Citing concerns about manageability in the SAN space, iBasis’ Joseph says that a NAS solution also served to better complement the modular approach that his company was taking to storage.
"Given the amount of data that we actually anticipate from each of the hosts going to the EMC boxes we decided not to go with Connectrix," Joseph explains. "It kind of makes a lot of sense to have this type of configuration, because it fits in better with the overall modularity of our design."
Storage Vendors to the Rescue
Perhaps because they recognize that storage capacity planning and management is an altogether different enterprise in the dot-com space, storage vendors are increasingly become involved.
EMC, for example, features a branding program -- dubbed "EMC Proven" -- which certifies that e-commerce sites built on top of an EMC storage framework have also invested in best practices for enterprise storage. According to EMC vice president of product marketing Mark Vargo, acceptance into the program signifies that a company has implemented an IT infrastructure that can support the operational needs of an Internet-based business or service.
"If they’re EMC-proven, chances are that they’re not going to have the information infrastructure let them down," Vargo indicates, noting that EMC has already enrolled about 100 customers in the EMC-proven program. "When you’re EMC-proven, it’s a sign that you’ve taken professional services very seriously, that you’ve taken design services very seriously."
And to help dot-coms make sense of the sometimes bewildering array of storage options and solutions shipping today, many vendors also provide consulting and integration services that can help organizations design a scalable storage infrastructure. Such services demonstrate value by combining any of a number of different technologies, including SANs, NAS devices and conventional storage subsystems, into a scalable storage infrastructure.
One such vendor, NAS specialist MTI Technology Corp. (www.mti.com), offers a complete set of infrastructure design, backup-and-restore, storage management and storage consulting services for both enterprise and dot-com customers. Kevin Liebl, vice president of marketing at MTI, says his company’s consulting and integration services can help organizations avoid the pitfalls that all too often accompany capacity planning and storage management in the dot-com space.
"The biggest mistake that most customers make is that they don’t learn to think strategically about storage," Liebl explains. "They’ve got to look at open architectures and make sure that these are flexible, industry standard architectures so that they don’t box themselves into a corner, and that’s what we help them to do."
Distributing the Load
Perhaps the best way to ensure that your storage environment can scale to meet capacity requirements is to distribute it. Akamai Technologies Inc. (www.akamai.com) rocketed to both fame and a near-record setting initial public offering on the basis of such an idea last year.
The gist of Akamai’s approach involves intelligently caching content on a location-specific basis: Content with broad-based appeal is disseminated to servers distributed on a global basis, whereas content with limited appeal is distributed regionally. Intelligent caching technologies aim to make it easier for customers or Web surfers to access information at the same time that they shift the load from an organization’s centralized Web presence to literally hundreds of caching servers distributed globally.
"There’s a large suite of algorithms designed to get the content as close as possible, as efficiently as possible, to the end user, so the end user can always get a copy of the content they want from our servers nearby," explained Akamai chief scientist Frank Thomsen Leighton.
Intelligent content distribution was given a real shot in the arm, however, with Cisco Systems Inc.’s (www.cisco.com) late-March acquisition of SightPath Inc. (www.sightpath.com), a provider of appliances for creating intelligent content delivery networks.
As IDC’s Gray sees it, this type of approach for distributing content smartly parallels the way that commodities like books and magazines are today distributed on both a regional and a national basis.
"We have this complicated infrastructure already in place for books and magazines that replicates stuff with mainstream appeal and gets more focused stuff near where it’s wanted," he explains. "You’re seeing the same type of movement in the dot-com space with distributed caching, and Cisco’s movement into the market only serves to underscore that point."
Distributing the Database Tier
As e-commerce solutions evolve and become more sophisticated, some industry watchers suggest that dot-coms are going to have to rethink the very way that applications and relational database management systems (RDBMS) work in the first place.
The issue of faster, more scalable storage notwithstanding, Steven Anderson, CEO of Viathan Corp. (www.viathan.com), says an RDBMS, in particular, is designed primarily for use in an enterprise environment whose data storage and retrieval practices -- centered as they are primarily around relational data -- more often than not bear little resemblance to the nonrelational data generated by most dot-coms.
Viathan produces Leviathan, an intelligent load-balancing software technology for dot-com ventures’ database tier.
"First of all, the type of data that these dot-coms are collecting is not defined as relational data, because you rarely do the complex queries [and other such trademarks of enterprise RDBMS]," Anderson comments. "The best way to describe a relational database product is that it’s like a Swiss Army knife -- a thing that tries to be a fit for all environments."
Enter Leviathan, a technology that Anderson says "productizes" a lot of the custom work that dot-com’s have done in adapting RDBMS platforms for e-commerce environments. Leviathan provides a robust API that allows developers to write applications to a single virtual database that can consist of any number of component nodes or clusters with any amount of attached storage. As far as an application is concerned, however, it’s accessing a single database image -- no matter the physical location of the component database nodes or clusters.
"This is an API that’s specifically targeted to the stuff that they need as Web application developers," Anderson concludes. "It’s not the full ODBC having to wade through 3,000 plus commands, and it’s not the Swiss Army knife approach of the traditional relational database, so their time to market is greatly reduced."
Rethinking the Persistence of Storage
Viathan Corp.’s (www.viathan.com) Leviathan is an evolutionary approach that tackles the problem of dot-com storage on the application and database levels. Solid-state storage, on the other hand, challenges existing assumptions about both the role and capacity of persistent storage.
For its part, solid-state storage defines a method of storing data in a dedicated subsystem composed of physical RAM. Solid-state storage subsystems commonly consist of a battery backup and a fixed disk subsystem to which the solid-state storage device can dump its data in the event of a prolonged power failure or other system downtime.
Solid-state storage is not the same thing as an in-memory database, which attempts to cache the contents of a database in the physical memory of an RDBMS. Rather, solid-state storage is deployed on a dedicated subsystem that is both operating system and RDBMS independent.
Compared with their conventional brethren, solid-state storage subsystems are both more expensive and considerably smaller: It's unlikely that solid-state storage subsystems will be available in the terabyte range any time soon. Why, then, might solid state storage be considered a scalable alternative for the dot-com venture? The answer is simple: Speed. Solid state storage is faster than disk-bound storage and, in I/O intensive environments, can often dramatically improve overall performance.
"For some tasks, like e-mail or Web content delivery, you’ve got a small percentage of data causing most of the I/O," explains Mike Casey, vice president of marketing with Solid Data Systems Inc. (www.soliddata.com), a provider of solid state storage-based solutions. "You can take that 2 to 3 percent of the data and move it off of the mechanical disk and put it on something really fast. A lot of times you’ll see system performance as a whole dramatically ramp-up, too."
This was the case with Critical Path, which implemented a Solid Data Excellerator 800 storage subsystem to help it deal with a crippling SMTP message queue bottleneck. Critical Path’s storage engineers reasoned that if they could cache the contents of the SMTP message queue in a solid state storage subsystem, the multiple reads and writes that were causing the same system hosted on a conventional storage subsystem to become hopelessly backed-up would disappear. The result, Critical Path claims, is an eightfold increase in performance.
As Solid Data’s Casey positions it, solid state storage isn’t so much a replacement for conventional storage as a scalable complement to it.
"You put the bulk of your data -- that is, 95 percent or more of your data -- on hard drives in a cached disk array, but you move the really active stuff to solid state, and then you have the best of both worlds," Casey concludes. | <urn:uuid:5667eeef-ca22-4f01-86fd-32f3b230e32b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://esj.com/articles/2000/05/24/scaling-storage-in-a-dotcom-world.aspx | 2020-09-25T09:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.933235 | 3,105 |

Global metabolic switching in Streptomyces coelicolor
Antibiotics are made during the second phase of growth when there is a transition in metabolism from primary to secondary metabolism. Primary metabolism is growth related and involves all the normal cellular activities associated with cell growth and division. Whereas secondary metabolism is non-growth linked and is non-essential but many important activities occur during this phase which help the bacterium survive. | <urn:uuid:91bc65b8-a523-4168-a2c5-780695256225> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://fairdomhub.org/institutions/10 | 2020-09-25T11:06:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.835776 | 229 |
While the number of think tanks in Denmark has increased considerably in recent decades, our knowledge about their visibility in political arenas is limited. The article explores how and why the mentions of private and public think tanks in the parliamentary and media arenas has developed from 2005 to 2018. Building on insights from previous studies of think tanks, publicly funded think tanks are expected to achieve more parliamentary mentions than private think tanks because they are expected to be more heavily influenced by institutionalized norms to target inside actors through parliament. By contrast, privately funded think tanks are expected to achieve more media mentions than public think tanks, because they are policymaking outsiders and emphasize public advocacy over direct influence. Although publicly funded think tanks have been more visible in the parliamentary arena than private think tanks, their visibility has declined. Private think tanks are more visible than public think tanks, but media visibility for privately funded think tanks also drops towards the end of the period. The article concludes that public or private funding cannot fully explain changes in think tank visibility in the two arenas over time. Instead media and parliamentary mentions are driven by a handful of think tanks while most think tanks struggle to achieve and maintain parliamentary and media visibility over time. | <urn:uuid:923b29e9-73d9-4376-a012-22260a4ba03a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://forskning.ruc.dk/en/publications/public-and-private-think-tank-visibility-in-the-danish-parliament | 2020-09-25T11:22:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.976193 | 234 |

Previous research shows that, despite the importance of large infrastructure projects, their implementation is often unsuccessful, both in terms of failure to meet the traditional project success criteria (cost, time, quality), as well as in terms of the adverse economic, social and environmental effects that the projects can create. Risks that arrise from specific characteristics of this type of projects are identified as the main cause of deviations from their planned performance.This paper presents a possible approach for qualitative risk analysis in the project conception phase, applied on a case study of a motorway project E-80, section Niš-Dimitrovgrad. The application of qualitative risk analysis enables the timely identification, ranking and systematic overview of potential threats for the achievement of specific project objectives and the proposal of measures for the elimination or reduction of threats. The studied methodology can be used in future pre-investment analyses of i...nfrastructure facilities.

Q: What is Ketosis?
A: Ketosis is a natural process that occurs in your body when it is either starving or believes that it is starving. It is the use of your fat storage areas as a fuel source when your body is not getting any carbohydrates. When this process begins, your body will start using your fat as your sole source of energy.
However, it can also occur if you cut all of your carbohydrate foods and focus solely on eating protein and fats. This type of diet tricks your body into thinking it is starving and forcing it to enter this process. Meanwhile, you are providing it with a healthy source of foods that are rich in nutrients and keeping it active.
Q: Why Does Ketosis Help Me Lose Weight?
A: When your body falls into ketosis, any fat that you eat during a day converts into energy. That’s because your body is not using sugar from carbohydrates to power itself. Normally, sugar is your body’s main fuel, particularly high-quality and complex sugars. Therefore, most of the fat from the foods that you eat during the day when on a carb-heavy diet gets stored in your body, instead of being used as energy.
That’s because eating sugar produces a high level of insulin in your body. This chemical is used to synthesize sugar and turn it into fuel for your body’s cells. However, insulin also naturally suppresses the fat-burning abilities of your body and causes frustrating fat storage instead of fat burning. While this is an annoying process that millions of people try to fight every year, it is a natural self-defense mechanism that your body uses to protect you against potential starvation.
However, few people in a modern first-world country run into true starvation any more. As a result, most end up eating high levels of fat on a carb-rich diet and store more than they need on their body. This cycle can become severe and force a person into obesity. However, going into ketosis helps to eliminate this problem by literally converting your body into a fat-burning machine. As you’ll have no carbohydrates in your diet, your body will be forced to burn nothing but fat and will slim you down almost against its will.
Q: Is This a Healthy Dietary Routine?
A: Those who are used to a diet high in healthy carbohydrate foods, like fruits and vegetables, may think that a diet focused solely on proteins and fats would be very unhealthy. They would be right in some instances. That’s because it is possible to do a ketogenic diet poorly. Those on this type of diet may end up overdoing certain types of foods or not taking supplements to keep their body healthy.
This danger is particularly real for those who are on a meat-heavy ketogenic diet. These individuals run the risk of bogging their digestive system down in too much meat and cheese and may cause acute constipation. However, those on a ketogenic vegan diet also need to be careful because they are going to be even more limited than those who are on a meat-heavy ketogenic diet.
That said, it is safe to eat a ketogenic diet indefinitely if you make sure to eat a balanced diet filled with a rich assortment of foods. You should also take a heavy dose of various supplements to ensure that your vitamin and nutrient levels remain at a high and healthy range. Otherwise, you run the risk of severe undernourishment and may end up needing real medical treatment to recover.
Q: What Types of Supplements Should I Take?
A: There are several types of supplements that you can take to increase the effectiveness of your ketogenic vegan diet. However, even those on a less-restricted meat ketogenic diet should consider taking the following supplements to ensure that their body stays healthy and strong:
- Multivitamin for your specific gender
- Vitamin B complex
- Vitamin D
Fiber is particularly important because a ketogenic diet may cause some intestinal slowdown or constipation. Thankfully, those on a ketogenic vegan diet are probably already eating foods that are high in fiber. However, they are also limited in a way that can be very challenging to master and which may further limit their nutrient intake. Later on, I’ll discuss the foods that you can eat and can’t eat on this diet to give you a better idea of your restrictions and your dietary possibilities.
Q: Is Calorie Counting Necessary for Ketogenic Diets?
A: Most low-fat and high-carb weight-loss routines force you to count your calories in a way that can drive a lot of people crazy. Those who are sick of having to do that can rejoice because ketogenic diets don’t force you to count calories. In fact, you are free to eat as much as you want, provided that you stick to foods that are high in protein and fats. Obviously, eating foods that are healthier for you, such as low-carbohydrate vegetables, is recommended. However, you still need to eat a heavy dose of protein and fat to ensure you kickstart your ketosis.
That said, you probably aren’t going to end up eating an excessive amount of food while on a ketogenic diet. That’s because protein is a denser nutrient and foods high in it take up more room in your stomach. They are also more difficult to digest and force your system to go into overdrive breaking down the food and ensuring that it gets processed by your system. All that extra digestion breaks protein down more efficiently, provides you with more extended periods of satiation, and avoids the hunger pangs and energy dips that come with diets high in carbohydrates and sugar.
As a result, you are naturally going to eat fewer calories than you probably would on a standard high-carbohydrate diet. Even better, you will be eating foods that are richer in nutrients, meaning that you will have fewer empty calories than you did on your previous diet. And while you might not eat as few calories as you would on a low-fat diet, that doesn’t matter because your body is burning those calories more efficiently. That’s because fat provides you with a longer-lasting and higher-quality source of body fuel that will stick with you throughout the whole day.
Therefore, the little food that you do eat in a day converts into just the right amount of calories for your day-to-day life. However, it is still important to avoid overeating when on this type of diet. Even if there aren’t strict caloric restrictions on a ketogenic diet, overeating any food is always a recipe for weight gain. Try to find a level of food that satisfies you on this diet without being too excessive. After discovering that balance in your diet, make sure you stick to it to see your waistline shrink.
Q: How Do I Measure My Carbohydrates?
A: The trickiest part of any ketogenic diet is making sure that your carbohydrates fall below the proper threshold. This limit varies between about 25-50 grams of carbs per day. The lower your level of carbohydrates, the more successful your diet will be for losing weight. However, it can be tough for some people to reach the lowest range limit. Find a carbohydrate intake that is comfortable for you and stay with it.
As for measuring your carbohydrates, there are a few ways that you can achieve this goal. Start by reading the labels of the food you eat and getting an idea of how much carbohydrates are in each serving of food. For example, let’s say you want to make a red bean salad using a half-cup of these carefully prepared beans. As they are the main ingredient, you want to make sure that you aren’t adding too much or that their carbohydrate levels won’t overpower your protein intake.
When examining the label, you find that a half-cup of kidney beans has about 55 total grams of carbohydrates. At first, you might think that this means that eating this amount would put you over your acceptable level of carbs for the day. You might put your beans to the side and feel depressed that your restricted vegan diet just lost one of its best friends. That isn’t the case, thankfully, because much of the carbohydrates in red beans are fiber. Fortunately, this nutrient does not count against you in your carb intake. That’s because you are only concerned about the sugar in these foods, as this is the nutrient that will prevent you from achieving ketosis.
As a result, you need to calculate your net carbohydrate count by subtracting your fiber count (in this case, 23 grams per half-cup of kidney beans) by the total number of carbs. That leaves you with 32 grams of net carbohydrates. That level is still within your 25-50 gram limit and isn’t a bad investment if you already have a low carb count for the day, as that half-cup will contain nearly 22 grams of protein. That said, you need to make sure the rest of your salad doesn’t cross your carb threshold. It might be a good idea to cut your bean serving in half to allow a little more variety and diversity in your diet later.
Q: How Long Will It Take to Enter Ketosis?
A: The change from sugar-burning to ketosis should take only a handful of days to achieve for most people. Cutting your carbohydrate levels to below 50 grams per day, eating a high level of protein and fat, and exercising can also increase this process. Extra exercise is a great idea because it will burn the sugar in your body and speed up the process even further. And if you can somehow dip below 30 grams of carbohydrates in your first few days, your rate of success will be faster.
However, those who are obese or who don’t work out very often are more likely to suffer from an extended period of adjustment that may be frustrating and distracting. In some cases, it might take you up to a week to get into ketosis. As a result, you may not see weight loss during this period unless you take active changes to your lifestyle. Anyone who is interested in this type of diet should get up and start moving. Even walking for 15-30 minutes a day will get your blood pumping, burn sugar, and keep your body headed towards ketosis.
As your body begins to adapt to this process, various changes will start to occur in your body. For example, your mind will have to convert its energy consumption to suit the new ketones produced by your body and its unique diet. Ketones are the source of energy you create when in ketosis. As your body used mostly sugar and carbohydrates for power before your changed to a vegan keto routine, various organs (such as the liver, kidney, and your muscles) will have to adapt to using just ketones instead of carbs for their power.
This change is what is known as keto-adaption. Few keto experts talk about it because it often frustrates or confuses people and may steer them away from this diet. However, fully understanding it can help you know why it is an excellent part of the overall keto experience. Essentially, keto-adaption is the process of your body thoroughly adjusting to a ketone-based lifestyle. Once it reaches this state, it will use ketones at a highly-efficient level. Unfortunately, entering keto-adaption can take anywhere from a month to several months to achieve.
That doesn’t mean that your weight loss is impossible while you adapt to ketosis. However, it may be limited compared to the levels you can reach when you fully adjust to this diet and its unique demands. Therefore, sticking with this type of dietary routine is crucial if you plan on achieving maximum levels of weight loss and keeping it off for an extended period.
Q: Won’t Eating Fat Make Me Fatter?
A: This common misconception is an understandable one because the correlation between eating fat and gaining fat seems so obvious. After all, if you eat excessive fat, it should follow that your body would end up storing more fat than it would normally store. However, fat is a more complex nutrient than it probably seems to most people. That fact is highlighted by the different divisions of fats available in foods.
For example, some fats are unhealthy because they lack nutrients and are just empty calories. These types are usually known as saturated fats. Eating a diet high in these fats can raise your unhealthy cholesterol and put you at risk for severe heart disease. However, eating unsaturated fats can lower your cholesterol and improve your overall health in a variety of ways.
That said, eating nothing but foods high in unsaturated fats isn’t a good idea for your health. Your body needs a variety of foods and requires a careful balance of nutrients. Healthy fats are just one part that helps keep your body operating smoothly and with a maximum level of energy. Just as importantly, it is crucial to remember why your body retains fat and why it forces you to gain weight. This connection is mostly related to the ways that eating excessive carbohydrates causes fat retention.
Fat gain only occurs if you overeat and the insulin in your body forces it to store the fat in your diet. That’s because your body naturally wants to save fat as an emergency power source in case of starvation. It still behaves as it did in ancient times and believes you go through periods of feast and famine. As a result, it will retain fat when you eat a lot and burn fat when you aren’t eating at all. However, a diet high in carbohydrates further worsens your chances of fat gain because it increases your levels of insulin. As a result, it will be harder to rid of that fat lingering around on your body.
So, ironically, eating fat is not the main reason that you gain weight. While a diet high in fat can be both healthy and unhealthy, fat alone is not responsible for your weight gain. This fact is particularly the case for those who are a vegan diet. While you don’t see overweight vegans very often, it is possible. This situation may seem impossible but occurs because of their high-carbohydrate diet. The little fat that they do eat gets immediately stored and won’t go away. As a result, they may end up slowly getting heavier over the years. Switching to a ketogenic diet can help burn it more efficiently.
Q: What Foods Can I Eat on a Vegan Ketogenic Diet?
A: On a typical ketogenic diet, you will be allowed to eat a pretty broad variety of foods. These include various types of meat, multiple kinds of cheese, yogurt, and other protein-rich items that are low in carbs but high in fat and protein. However, you can’t eat these foods as a vegan. As a result, it is going to be very hard for you to find a suitable routine.
That said, you can still eat many of the same vegan-friendly foods that you love while on this diet. For example, you can eat a variety of delicious nuts, like almonds and macadamia. Try to integrate these healthy-fat-rich ingredients into your dishes to bring out a maximum amount of taste. Make sure that you limit yourself when eating these nuts, though, as it is very easy to binge on them if you aren’t careful. Other foods that you can eat regularly include:
- Some fruits (avocados, coconut, berries, and tomatoes)
- Non-starchy vegetables (watercress, spinach, kale, and broccoli)
- Black tea, coffee, and dark chocolate (80-90 percent cocoa)
- Some artificial sweeteners
- Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kombucha, kimchi, kefir, full-fat plain yogurt)
- Low-carbohydrate replacement foods (coconut oil, non-carbohydrate noodles, coconut flour, etc.)
The fermented food category is a bit of a controversial one within the vegan ketogenic community. Many vegans won’t eat fermented foods because they contain active and healthy bacteria. In their view, eating these kinds of food is an act akin to taking a life and is not acceptable. However, other vegans will be okay with eating fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi because they are not as concerned about bacteria. These vegans believe that simply breathing is likely to destroy these organisms. This choice is something to seriously consider before creating your ketogenic vegan eating schedule.
As you can see, there is a significant limitation on the kinds of foods you can eat while on this diet. Usually, many vegans fill out their food intake with high levels of carbohydrate foods, such as bread and noodles, to create a healthy diet. However, those on a ketogenic diet cannot use meat to fill out their food intake the way that those who eat meat can do. That said, you aren’t doomed to be uncomfortable or unhappy while on this diet. There are many ways that you can overcome these limitations.
In particular, using replacement products, such as coconut flour and non-carbohydrate noodles, is crucial for those on this diet. These replacement foods are designed for ketogenic diets and are usually vegan-friendly. Ketogenic noodles are particularly useful because they will fill you up in the way that standard types do but will provide you with protein instead of carbohydrates. Make sure to check the labels of any of these items before buying them to ensure that they meet your ethical vegan standards. Then, you can integrate these items into your meals to help make it a lot easier to transition to this healthy weight-loss routine.
Q: How Often Should I Eat on a Ketogenic Vegan Diet?
A: An eating schedule for a ketogenic diet is different than the program for a standard carb-heavy one. While many on this routine typically eat anywhere from once every 2-5 hours, it is possible for those on a ketogenic diet to eat just once a day. That’s because the high content of protein in their diet will take a longer time to digest and keep them satiated throughout the day. This step requires carefully planning your meal, dividing it up into appropriate proportions and food types, and taking upwards of 1-2 hours to eat everything.
That said, you don’t have to take that approach if you feel uncomfortable with its unique demands. Instead, you can stick to a typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner schedule if that feels best for you. However, you can also integrate a few healthy snacks between meals if you prefer that schedule. The trick is to eat only when you honestly feel hungry. Don’t eat just because you have a craving for a handful of berries. Instead, only eat when your stomach tells you it is time and you feel hunger. In this way, you can make sure that you satisfy your body and prevent yourself from feeling excessively hungry at inopportune times.
And if you feel full before finishing everything you have prepared, place what you haven’t eaten in plastic containers, seal them, and store in the refrigerator. Don’t force yourself to eat everything just because your mother always told you to clean your plate. Instead, you can warm them up either later in the day if you feel hungry or the next day and save yourself a little money on meal preparation. That said, you’re not likely to eat it later in the day because those on a ketogenic diet don’t suffer from the same kind of hunger pangs that those on a standard carbohydrate diet feel.
That’s because those hunger urges are caused by dips in your blood sugar and not real hunger. Your body will need sugar to keep going when you’re on a carbohydrate-heavy diet and will activate the hunger urge even if you are quite satiated. As a result, you will overeat even if your stomach is filled with food. On a ketogenic vegan diet, you won’t suffer from those urges because your blood sugar will remain in a stable state. Therefore, you can trust your stomach more fully and stay on the right path towards ketogenic success with all the benefits.
Q: Why Did I Gain Weight on My Ketogenic Diet?
A: Those who gain weight on a ketogenic diet usually do so because they overeat their protein-rich and fatty food. While there are no caloric restrictions for most ketogenic dietary routines, you still have to follow common sense and avoid overeating. The exact amount of calories you can eat will vary depending on your needs. Experiment a bit here to find out what level is right for your needs.
However, some people gain a little weight after about two weeks of strictly following this routine. This reaction usually occurs after people lose anywhere from 5-15 pounds in the first week. That initial weight is often water weight and usually balances out after a week. That said, the weight gain suffered during the second or third week can be frustrating and may throw people off of this routine.
Don’t worry if this happens to you while on this diet. That usually happens because your body is adjusting to the routine and its new balance of water and sugar. In layman’s terms, you are just suffering from a little water retention. This extra weight will pass in a few days. In fact, any kind of diet is likely to suffer from this type of temporary setback early in its routine. So just stick to it and wait for your weight loss to continue. If it does not, adjust your caloric intake to avoid overeating.
Q: Are There Any Other Unique Demands for Vegans on a Ketogenic Diet?
A: Vegans on a ketogenic diet can follow every other demand of this dietary routine without suffering from any significant setbacks. There are no hidden rules that you have to follow that make it more challenging to achieve ketosis. Sticking to a strictly vegan diet will be challenging enough for you to manage without any other issues to consider. Just as long as you avoid eating an excessive amount of carbohydrates, you should get into ketosis and stay there as long as you follow this pattern of eating.
I would suggest, however, exercising a bit more than usual. This step is crucial because it helps to increase your protein synthesis and builds your muscles. Bigger muscles are a great addition to your body because they will burn more calories than fat while you are at rest. As a result, you can be an even more efficient fat-burning machine. There are many types of exercises that you can consider for this type of weight-loss method.
Q: How Fast Will I Lose Weight?
A: Just like with most weight-loss methods, expect a 5-10 pound loss in the first week or two. That rapid change is usually caused by losing water, not actual fat. You are probably burning more like 3-4 pounds of fat during this early period. After that, you should settle into a stable, but effective, routine of burning 1-2 pounds per week. You may burn more than that during individual weeks but should stay around that level.
While you may be able to use increased exercise to lose weight more quickly, I strongly suggest against getting too severe or stringent. Expecting to lose 3-5 pounds every week sets yourself up for disappointment. That kind of weight loss is not healthy or sustainable. It may also be caused by muscle, not fat, loss and can be very unhealthy. Sticking to an ethical ketogenic vegan routine and doing a little exercise should help you reach that safe weight loss rate.
Just as importantly, it can set you up for a lifestyle change that becomes a permanent one. Losing weight permanently requires changing harmful eating habits and replacing them with healthy ones. If it requires that you stay on a ketogenic vegan diet permanently, you might want to consider making that change. Make sure you get the okay from your doctor before proceeding, though.
Q: What Exercises are Good for a Ketogenic Vegan Diet?
A: Exercising on a ketogenic vegan diet is always a good idea because it helps to increase the efficiency of the routine. What is particularly lovely about this weight-loss method is that just about any type of exercise routine will benefit you. It all depends on what area of your body you want to work. For example, you could perform regular cardiovascular exercises to improve your heart and lung health. These routines also help to boost your metabolism and to increase your weight-loss efficiency by upgrading your resting heart rate.
Muscle-building routines also build calories by creating a higher resting-state calorie-burning rate. This change means that you will burn more calories relaxing than you would have before putting on extra muscles. Getting into shape while on a ketogenic idea is also a good idea because you’ll have a lot of protein to use to rebuild your muscles and to boost the health of the organs in your body. They will need this fuel to stay healthy and active as your body adjusts to the ketogenic diet.
Just as importantly, make sure that you change up your routines every day to stay focused on success. Exercise boredom will sabotage your method and make it harder to stay in shape and lose weight. A typical exercise routine for a week may include:
- Monday – 30-minute jog
- Tuesday – 30 minutes of arm-based lifts
- Wednesday – 15 minutes of sprints altered with 15 minutes of walking
- Thursday – 30 minutes of leg-based lifts
- Friday – 20-minute jog and 10 minutes of sprints
- Saturday – 30 minutes of chest-based lifts
- Sunday – Rest or a 30-minute walk
Altering between cardiovascular and muscular routines helps to relax your muscles and allows them to bulk up. Taking a rest on Sunday gives you a breather before you have to dive into the exercise demands of the rest of your week. This routine will give you three hours of exercise every week and keep your body fully active during what can be a challenging period of adjustment. It will also help your food digest more fully in your stomach and make your keto more effective.
If you find this routine too strenuous or if you suffer from any pain while performing it, replace the jogs with walks and the sprints with jogs. You can then increase the intensity of these cardiovascular routines until you are more comfortable eliminating walking, except for your Wednesday sprint day. Make sure to eat a nice fat dose of protein-rich and vegan-friendly foods on that day to keep your body well-balanced and energetic. And as always, talk to your doctor before making any serious exercise or dietary changes. | <urn:uuid:5003f901-4477-4bdb-92a8-ff9329ba88bb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ketogenicvegandiet.com/vegan-keto-faq/ | 2020-09-25T10:43:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.958802 | 5,480 |
Lighter Footprints is organising a Doorknocking Day in Boroondara this Sunday 6th June from 2-5pm.
This is an easy and fun way to talk to people in your community about climate change and the opportunities for action.
We will also be promoting our upcoming Meet the Candidates forum at the Hawthorn Town Hall on 28th July (facilitated by Age journalist and author Liz Minchin).
It’s easy! We will be doing it in pairs, you will get a script to help avoid being tongue-tied at the door, you will be provided with materials (brochure/petition), and we will have a short ‘training session’ before you set off. Climate Code Red author and climate campaigner David Spratt will be available to provide some door knocking tips and training to the Lighter Footprints group before we hit the streets.
How it works: We start after lunch and do about an half an hour of training. Then we all get a map with an area to cover, we knock on doors for about two hours and then get together for a coffee or drink and talk about how it went. It’s that easy! People are friendly and usually very happy to take some information.
Where we start: We meet at 70 Through Road, Camberwell at 2pm for the training session this Sunday 6th June and to pick up materials (brochures etc). Meet back there again at 4.30-4.45pm for a drink and debrief!
Please RSVP to Fiona Armstrong, 0438 900 005, or [email protected]

LANSING, MI – May 26, 2009 – (RealEstateRama) — Sen. Cameron S. Brown, chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Emerging Technologies Committee, and five fellow Senate committee chairs are encouraging the rehabilitation – rather than the demolition – of Detroit’s historic Michigan Central Depot property.
“The Michigan Central Depot played a vital role in Detroit’s history, and with enough foresight, teamwork and effort it can play an equally vital role in its future,” said Brown, R-Fawn River Township. “If spared from the wrecking ball, this landmark property could once again be the pride of Detroit.”
Built in 1913, the Michigan Central Depot served as Detroit’s main passenger rail station until the last Amtrak train pulled away on Jan. 6, 1988. It was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1975.
The Detroit City Council is currently considering whether to demolish the 500,000-square-foot building located on 14 acres of property in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood.
In a letter addressed to the depot’s owners, the Detroit International Bridge Company, Brown and his five co-signers outlined a wide array of potential uses for the historic property, including:
• Michigan State Police forensic laboratory
• Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection office
• Regional homeland security headquarters
• Trade processing center and border inspections facility
• Intermodal transportation hub
The letter emphasizes that each of these potential uses could be eligible for funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Brown’s five co-signers each chair Senate committees related to industries or agencies that could capitalize on the depot’s proximity to critical state, regional and international infrastructure:
- Sen. Jason Allen, Commerce and Tourism Committee chair
- Sen. Jud Gilbert, Transportation Committee chair
- Sen. Alan Sanborn, Economic Development and Regulatory Reform Committee chair
- Sen. Valde Garcia, Appropriations State Police and Military Affairs Subcommittee chair
- Sen. Ron Jelinek, Appropriations Committee chair and Federal Stimulus Oversight Subcommittee chair
“With more than 500,000 square feet of space on nearly 14 acres in proximity to critical state, regional and international infrastructure facilities, the Central Depot property has great potential to house a complimentary set of homeland security, intermodal transportation and economic development-related functions,” the letter reads. “The property is ideally located in an area of unique intermodal convergence that includes the Ambassador Bridge, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, connections to three interstate highways, the Detroit-Wayne County Port and several freight lines.”
All six committee chairs have committed to further exploring the property’s potential.
The letter was shared with a long list of city, state and federal officials, including Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and the Detroit City Council. | <urn:uuid:74a8523e-df22-48f9-8b44-7f67a1597564> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://michigan.realestaterama.com/sen-brown-colleagues-historic-central-depot-can-rise-again-ID0158.html | 2020-09-25T10:24:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.911641 | 595 |

When I was 8 years old I really wanted to be a ninja. I had no desire to go through any of the work required to master the art of ninjitsu, so instead I decided I would just tell everyone that I was a ninja. I became an expert mimicking the moves I saw in movies, making crazy sounds and talking enough talk to convince my friends that I was a ninja. Amazingly they accepted it. Since most of them knew me since I started walking, I’m not sure that they actually believed that the same child, somehow when they weren’t looking, trained to become a ninja master; nonetheless, they humored me.
Time passed and I lost my affinity for ninjas, but I found that it wasn’t a simple matter of turning my back on a childhood fantasy. The ninja within was refusing to be ignored! The imposter in me kept kicking his way out even after I wanted to be honest with my friends and just be me. I suppose that I feared my friends would not accept me for who I was any longer. Because the ninja was more interesting, faster and stronger, I felt the need to maintain the image. And thus the battle began.
Much like the battle between a geeky, 8-year-old boy and a ninja from the dark side shows, a battle between spirit and flesh affects us all. James 1:14 talks about people being, “dragged away by their own evil desires and enticed.” All people, Christian or not, often do not do the good they want to do (Romans 7:19).
Henry possessed a similar dark ninja within. For him it was a more of a macho-man. Father to a young boy, he was a rich, shrewd businessman, as well as a womanizer. He desperately wanted to do right by his son and his wife, but it seemed that no matter what he did, he could not shake this macho-man image.
He grew up under a renowned genius, but uncommitted father, which left Henry to figure out manhood all by himself. Heavily influenced by culture, Henry created a macho-man, ninja-type image for himself. He probably tried to use this persona to impress his father and draw closer to him. When it did not work, he tried even harder to be Mr. Macho Man. By the time he wanted to rid himself of this idiotic image, Macho Man was well-entrenched and would not be ignored.
In the wake, Macho Man left behind broken marriages, a struggling son, numerous angry women, outstanding bills, and left Henry in a state of constant insecurity. Barely treading water when he came to see me, Henry needed me to get him through the next two months without doing anything stupid. Fortunately, we succeeded.
The flesh that we battle against can have various forms in any one person. It is likely that Henry had many ninjas, but Macho Man was his primary enemy.
I often wished I could have externalized Macho Man for Henry. If I could have metaphorically pulled Macho Man out of Henry, I could have said to Henry, “Look at what Macho Man is making you do. Your marriages are destroyed. Your son is hurting; his example is broken. Many women’s lives are destroyed… Get rid of Macho Man!” But just as I feared what I might be without my dark ninja, Henry also depended on Macho Man for self-identity and for his concept of masculinity. With nothing to replace MM, he was lost. The good news of the gospel of Christ, however, is that there is a replacement for dark ninja, Macho Man, etc.
Bruxy Cavey is a teaching pastor at a church called The Meeting House in Oakville, Ontario (his podcasts are free on iTunes and are worth a listen). In a pod-cast series called “License to Sin,” he talks about this battle between our flesh and our spirit. Bruxy explains how the good in us (spirit) and the dark ninja (flesh) are not equals. If we follow Christ, our spirit is much more powerful than any ninja. Our ability to access that power may wax and wane, but the potential is huge. He goes on to explain that we learn to better access that power by learning to commune with God the Father through Jesus the Son.
My ninja persona eventually slipped away and I cannot say that I ever missed it. God met me where I was as a boy. Despite my lies and deceit, He helped me find talents and friends that allowed me to shape a sense of self-identity which was closer to reality. But the ninja is stealth-like warrior, so I had to be on my guard for several years afterward to be sure that it did not creep back into my life again. And I still occasionally ask myself if the spirit is the real me and not the ninja. My answer is, “God created mankind in his own image” (Genesis 1:27). And that I know of, God doesn’t swing nun chucks and creep around in a black jumpsuit and a ski mask! | <urn:uuid:14bf9ab5-e5f1-4c44-8cdc-4fe8fbb0a5d9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://onmyownnow.com/2011/04/09/the-dark-ninja-within/ | 2020-09-25T10:48:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.980773 | 1,085 |
It was my freshman year at Yale. I was fresher than most — and from Nebraska — so just about everything I saw, heard and did that year astonished me.
Mr. Cecil Lang, my English teacher, ended a class one day with the words, “You might want to drop by the Law School tonight. A man I consider one of the most dangerous men in America is lecturing there.” I went.
Onstage was a tall, interesting-looking man unlike anything in my experience. A speaker so vocally various, so facially vigorous, so versatile of eyebrow, so eccentric of movement and gesture — even rising virtually “on point” at times for emphasis. This was not just a speaker. This was a performer.
Only a handful of the best comic actors could display such an arsenal of physical and vocal variety. Afterwards, I walked to my room, my head ringing with un-cliched, half-understood phrases. Like, “…and the mental spastics who read The Nation.”
This was some kind of strange genius, alien to anything I’d ever seen and heard.
I would have had no trouble believing, as I learned years later, that at the age of 8 (sic) — when some kids still write to Santa — this guy had written to the King of England, demanding certain war debt reparations.
The politics in his speech had meant nothing to me. I discovered my first editorial page that year and had to be reminded what Right and Left meant. When I thanked my teacher for having recommended such an entertaining evening, he said something I wasn’t sure I understood: “Buckley’s amazing, isn’t he? If he had a little more of the common touch, he’d be a truly dangerous man.”
I certainly never expected to meet him.
Years pass, and I suddenly find myself in the daunting world of hosting a talk show. I had seen a lot of Buckley on his own show — a formidable presence on the screen — and there he was on my next week’s guest list.
Because it was Buckley, I was nervous in a way I don’t think I ever was before or since. If you’d asked me what exactly I was nervous about, I doubt that I could have defined it.
Then I found out.
Conversation seemed to be moving along nicely when, in reference to something he had just brought up, I said, “I’m not really familiar with that.” Back came, “You don’t seem to be familiar with anything.”
I think I nearly lost consciousness. It was a rotten thing to say to a beginner.
If he meant it to be funny, it wasn’t. There was a kind of sympathetic “ouch” sound from the audience as I heard myself utter a feeble, “Oh, I’m…familiar with everything.” The rest is blank, except for the thought that this new job wasn’t always going to be fun. It was a moment that at a later time both of us would have been funny about. Not then. Somehow I got through the rest of the show on automatic pilot.
We now make a cinematic, fast-forward jump-cut to the future that will seem at first like a non sequitur bit from a confusingly edited film.
A tranquil, sparkling blue bay in the Caribbean. Several people are being pulled horizontally in a human chain through the water. Power is supplied by one of those expensive Hammacher Schlemmer toys. A sturdy little German-made putt-putt gas engine sold so rich folks, frolicking, can enjoy . . . um, being pulled through water.
Two men in the short line of swim-suited, giggling aquatic revelers are recognizable. A tourist bystander asks her friend, “Hey, can that be Dick Cavett?” “Where?” “There. In the water. The guy clinging to the naked lower calves of William F. Buckley Jr.” As the latter might have answered her with that famous and much imitated resonance, “Mirabile dictu, madame, you are correct.”
Obviously our relationship had taken a turn for the better.
Over the intervening years, the Cavetts and the Buckleys had become friends. Bill and his tall and striking wife, Pat — whose elegance, smarts and wit made her the perfectly suited WFB mate — were there on their beautiful sailboat/yacht. (Pat was Patricia, of course, but I never heard anyone call her that.)
They had sailed from New York, the yacht captained by Bill, the undaunted sailor. By this time he had been an eagerly welcomed guest on my show numerous times. What he might have termed “our initial contretemps” was forgotten.
But one day I remembered it.
I felt I just had to ask him about it. I recreated it exactly. He clearly didn’t recall it and seemed a bit embarrassed. I had gotten to know and to like him so much by then that I was sorry I’d brought it up. It clearly disturbed him. I quickly offered him an out.
“Is there any chance you had me confused with David Frost”? I asked.
“Precisely,” he said, taking my offer and flashing that trademark wink and grin. We laughed.
It is cocktail time below deck. My wife and Bill were fond of each other and enjoyed making each other laugh. (“I do enjoy Bill,” she said once. “I just wish it didn’t make me feel unfaithful to Gore.”) In her omnivorous reading she had downed a heavy tome on Catholicism, and asked him to clarify some abstruse point about St. Paul and the founding of the church that seemed to her somehow self-contradictory.
“Well, the theological question becomes…” he began, but seemed to get stuck. He backed up and started a whole new sentence and came up short again. Before he could start a third, his amused spouse said, “Bill, you always like to try new things. Why not admit you don’t know the answer?” After a moment, he joined in the laughter.
Later that year, in view of his striking out on the religious question, he gave my wife the “Harvard Concordance to Shakespeare,” containing every single word in the plays and every line containing that word; a monument of scholarship.
It weighed a ton, and he cautioned her about reading it in the bathtub. It was inscribed, “From one who was at a temporary loss for words, to one who — now — never need be. Affectionately, Bill.”
She responded by sending him a cherished old volume given to her by the writer Jean Stafford. I hated to see it go, but had to admit it was the absolute ideal gift for William F. Buckley. Its incredible but accurate title: “The Pilgrim’s Progress — in Words of One Syllable.”
She put: “For Bill, should he ever need some. Love, Carrie Nye.”

Fear is not overcome from one day to the next. Letting go of fear is a practice that, if applied often, could become an easier element to experience. Fear, just like judgment, happiness, and so forth, are similar in that, each is part of the human experience.
We exist in a century that is awakening many minds towards self-discovery, but it does not exempt us from experiencing humanity as it is. With fears, some that feel as if they would drive us to insanity, and others that seem to never cease. But, that is humanity. We feel many emotions, in many ways, under many different circumstances, and that is O.K.
Fear may kick in and become our companion for a while. It may drag us towards the darkest of corners, and it may feel as if it is digging holes in many aspects of our lives. But with practice and action on our part, we can learn to overcome it. How else do we learn things in life? By trying to accomplish something, and taking steps towards it, until we reach our goals. And even after reaching our goals, if fear comes back around, then we will be ready to face it because fear is not a flaw or an ‘enemy’. Fear is energy.
Fear is the awareness of the mind/body that there is something there that we need to pay attention to – not to manifest it (if it is a negative thought). However, fear is there so we may take a look at it and examine why it is there and where it is coming from. There are thousands of materials on how to overcome this factor, and I believe each works in accordance with the person and how it is perceived.
Fear is part of life, and there are many, many, many levels of fear. I’m sure there are many people that have overcome this element in all its facets. Many are trying to overcome it. Others don’t have their attention on this matter. But, whatever it is that our fear or fears may be, we are humans, and fear happens and that’s O.K. With practice, with purpose, and with determination, we could orient our path and our journey to be fearless.
When fear strikes we may make one of two choices: Let it consume us longer than it should, even to the point of madness, or face it and overcome it. Fear is an energy that we need to learn how to operate.
With all of our heartfelt intentions, we can face fear and strengthen ourselves, little by little. Help is always there: people that offer a helping hand, Mother Nature and her capacity to embrace us with courage, and beings of light such as angels, archangels, saints, masters and so forth. All are great contributors to the healing of our mind, body, and soul, to rise above fear and be.

When word got out this month about the Supreme Court lifting the federal ban on sports betting across America, for some, it was as if we won the Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup and the Triple Crown. But for the sports enthusiasts who’d put money on their teams or athletes of choice, this is exactly what it feels like – a victory. But winning in gambling is fleeting. The only one who wins is “the house” and anyone who happens to own an addiction treatment facility. Now let me clarify… gambling, drug addiction and alcoholism in the United States feed one another. For the millions of people who sit on the edge of an alcohol or drug addiction diagnosis, the legalization of sports betting will push them over. Here’s why.
Substance Abuse and Gambling Hit the Same Brain Triggers
A variety of studies conducted in Europe, Canada and the U.S. (though far and few between) note a link between drug or alcohol abuse and at-risk gambling. The connection has a lot to do with the same receptors in our reward center of the brain. Just like repeated alcohol use, over time, can lead the mind and the body to crave “the drink”, similar patterns are displayed in the act of gambling.
The psychology behind gambling is twofold: the potential rewards far outweigh the risks.
- Attraction to the reward is invigorating.
- Even after loss, attraction to the reward is invigorating.
Read numbers 1 and 2 above. It’s easy to see how the cycle of addiction starts to generate. And just like other addictions, whether the user experiences loss in finances, relationships, security or job, the reward center of the brain dictates the decision-making. In a Swedish study, the correlation between alcohol consumption and gambling yielded an increase in the dollar amount of the bet as well as the rapid rate of subsequent losses.
Why Freedom and Responsibility Cross Paths in Gambling Behaviors
Now that the veil has been lifted and each state is left to its own devises as to whether sports betting is allowable, sports fans will have another way to add more excitement to the rush of winning. And when you put down a $50 bill with a bookie on a bet for University of Arizona Wildcats to win over ASU Sun Devils in college ball and it turns into $300, it’s hard to make that practice a one-time deal. Because it can quickly morph into an obsession.
Here’s where it gets dicey. If the government says it’s okay, then what could be wrong with it? The funky part of addiction is how it (drugs, alcohol, food, sex, gambling) seems to form a life of its own and the user is just the vessel to see it through – to the bitter end. The overwhelming loss of control is how addiction plays with our sense of freedom to do what we choose and turn it into an ongoing demonstration of irresponsibility to ourselves, our families, our coworkers and anyone else that is impacted by our lives. But no one really talks about gambling addiction much.
“You better you better, you bet.”
Casinos, sports bars, collegiate and professional sports enterprises and other establishments beckon us to indulge in risky behaviors to make the good time around sports even better. The rush keeps getting bigger at consumers’ expense.
Little Known Research About Gambling Addiction Is Publicized
While numerous case studies and research information is readily available for alcohol addiction and drug abuse, the same cannot be said for gambling addiction, especially where gambling co-occurs with substance addiction. And it is prevalent. A recent study indicates that up to 20 percent of those who have serious issues with drugs or alcohol also have a life-altering, gambling problem.
These two addictions together not only exacerbate the other but can cycle from one to the other, depending on the individual and the reasoning behind the addictions.
- Alcoholism or drug use is often partnered with the act of gambling
- A gambling loss can lead a person to drink or drug use
- The high of a win in gambling can spur more alcohol or drug use
Gambling addiction, formerly known as a man’s disease, is now taking hold of women as well, according to Gamblers Anonymous. As society stresses impact all genders, gambling addiction is simply representative of this equality.
WHO names Gaming Disorder as Mental Health Condition
Earlier this year, the World Health Organization added gaming disorder to their list of medical issues under the designation of mental health disorders. With the prevalence of smart devices and our incessant need to use them, gaming disorder is more than the trending mental health issue – it’s today’s standard way of life. On average, people touch their smartphone 2600 times a day.
Sports Betting Will Drive More Drug and Alcohol Addiction Cases
Some would say that the original gaming disorder is gambling. Players can engage via video screen whether at the casino or online. And now that sports betting is back on the table, touting instant financial gain, more people who crave that type of return and excitement will flock to the establishments that will offer it up.
With the influx of new participants (and hidden offenders coming out in the open again), associated drug and alcohol use will follow. But will there be enough treatment programs available to adequately treat both diseases?
Participants, in a study conducted in Wales, who received treatment for alcohol addiction were also asked if they had a gambling problem. One in six of them did and of them, 94 percent expressed the need for services that also addressed gambling addiction.
Now that the federal government opened the Pandora’s Box of addiction, where can people go to get the help needed to combat addictions for gaming and substance use?
Signs of Gambling Addiction
It’s easy to get caught up in the social aspects of gambling because the gaming components of it can be fun, provide healthy outlets for competitiveness and induce pleasure. Winning isn’t bad either. But there are signs that can indicate that the occasional source of entertainment has gone dangerously out of control.
- Gambling habit is hidden from others.
- It happens when you can’t afford it.
- It comes before other obligations.
- Others have concerns about your gambling.

Spring / Summer show 2018
27th April to 13th July, 2018
Another fantastic selected mixed show from Silson Contemporary.
Featuring both emerging and established Yorkshire connected artists, the selected eclectic work ranges from Emma Spence’s serene figurative ceramics to the beautifully rendered semi – abstract watercolours by local artist, William Watson – West. We are also delighted to introduce the work of London based American painter, Angeline Tournier. Her colourful abstract work is informed by the wide open spaces of her native Colorado and first home in the UK, Yorkshire. Her use of hot pink is fabulous, and a lovely edition as we move into (hopefully) warmer months!
More details about each artist and examples of their work can be seen below. Please click on the image to enlarge.
We hope you will be able to join us over the coming months.
‘I use hand-building techniques to create individual works. This takes on a variety of forms, but experiments with more sculptural work often lead back to producing vessel forms. I enjoy the slow and relatively controlled process of hand-building and use a combination of pinch pots, slabs and coils. It allows time for thinking and reacting to the material at different stages.
Currently a limited pallet of colours coming from a range of clays, under glazes and oxides creates a sense of coherence across the work.
Inspiration comes from looking at the landscape and seascape around where I live and find I am influenced by the man made and natural marks in the environment on both a large and small scale’.
Katie works from her studio in Scarborough and exhibits regularly throughout the UK.
Sally Marie Gardner
Sally is a contemporary landscape artist and printmaker that is fascinated by the light and textures in the world around her.
I’m influenced and energised by the surrounding wilderness and quality of light, which often become the basis for my expressive creations. Each piece is a direct response to nature and my experiences in it. Whether it be the abundance of flora and fauna, the local wildlife or views over the rugged landscape, all are expressed through the gestural application of paint, creation of layers and texture within my work. Each piece hopes to evoke an emotion from the viewer, create a mood or trigger a memory as well as capture a sense of place.
Based in the Yorkshire Dales, Sally was delighted to be selected for the 2017/18 prestigious New Light Prize, showing in The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, Huddersfield Art Gallery, Bankside Gallery, London, and Tullie House Museum and Gallery, Carlisle .
‘I paint semi-abstract landscape and still life, my main medium is oil, but I also like to use a wide range of materials including charcoal, acrylic, ink and pastel.
My landscapes are a response to feelings and experiences of places I know well and feel connected to –the Yorkshire east coast, the Peak district and the north coast of Wales. This work is intuitive and I work from memories and imagination.
With my still life I work directly from much loved objects, however in both subjects my concern and interest is in mark making, the expressiveness of exploring and creating a visual language. Building layers, brush marks, gestural marks, drips, splashes, scratches, thin washes through to the juicy thickness of impasto, the wonder and joy of colour. I like also to keep up my practise of drawing using my sketchbook regularly.’
Gill works from her studio in Sheffield. Her work has been selected for numerous exhibitions in 2016/2018 including the RBSA Prize, Ferens Open, Midlands Open, Tarpey Gallery and the Derbyshire Open, Buxton.
Peter has a diverse art practice, which includes painting, printmaking, photography, installation and public art. He combines traditional art practices with new technology and is interested in the interplay of visual aesthetics, technology and lived experience and how technology plays an influencing role in the creation of artworks. His subjects include architecture, landscape, found objects and, as seen in this exhibition, plant forms.
Based in Sheffield, Peter has worked as an artist for over 30 years. His exhibitions have included solo shows at The Mappin Art Gallery, Sheffield, MAC, Birmingham and Lakeside Arts Centre in Nottingham. He has exhibited work in Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions.
Influenced by the natural landscape around him, Josh uses his sketchbook as a tool to make decisions to inform his next painting. Working predominantly ‘en plein air’, he chooses to work in all weathers to capture the shifts of light, atmosphere and complexion of his surroundings.
‘Embracing traditional oil painting techniques, I aim to create work that represent my surroundings in more than just a visual expression, my paintings often try to recreate an essence, taking inspiration from the Yorkshire landscape.
Brush marks, texture and depth all play a part in composing paintings which are often small. This scale helps me to create an intimacy between painting and subject whilst enabling me to rapidly capture a scene in the moment.’
Although only in his second year at Leeds College of Art, this is the second time that Josh has exhibited with us, such is our love of, and belief in, his work. Like Sally Marie Gardner, Josh was delighted to be selected for the prestigious New Light Prize in 2017/18.
‘I make paintings that contain motifs and biomorphic shapes which take their cue from a diverse range of starting points, including recreational, re-enacted and domestic sources. Paintings are usually begun with an “activation of the canvas” – a flurry of diluted, painterly gestures, from which I can assimilate apparitions of space, by introducing increasingly systematized forms and solid areas of colour. My approach to painting aims at developing a constant dialogue between the intentional and the incidental. Some of my work contains additional collage elements such as canvas off-cuts and palette residue, added to further expose the materiality of the painting process.’
Anthony works from his studio in Hull, and exhibits regularly
‘My work is smoke fired figurative, sculptural ceramics which are built by hand using slab built, pinching and coiling techniques. I use resist techniques to make the beautiful, subtle, smoked lines and marks on the surface of my work and to enhance the form.
My ceramics are smoke fired in a chamber outside, overnight, and then carefully cleaned up revealing the surface. The process involves many hours of dedication however I feel the result is worth it.
Ideas for the work have been developed over thirty years from my interest in life drawing, observing people in everyday situations, figurative movement, fashion and humour.
The most recent group of work includes dramatic, ceramics shapes as an exciting base for the figurative ideas I have developed.
Ceramic artists that have influenced my work include Mo Jupp, Kristy Keeney, Claire Curneen and Jane Perryman, sculptors and painters include Matisse, Barbara Hepworth, Picasso and Jean Arp.’
Emma works from her studio in Leicestershire and exhibits widely in national Ceramic Fairs, including, in 2018, Earth and Fire.
Predominantly working in watercolour, William’s mixed-media paintings reflect the beautiful surroundings that he has grown up in on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, through which, he seeks to translate the emotions that the landscape evokes onto paper. His work varies from the more abstract to the semi-representational.
William works from his studio near Harrogate. He has exhibited at various galleries across North Yorkshire including 108 Fine Art, Harrogate, Zillah Bell Gallery, Thirsk, The Mercer Gallery, Harrogate in the Harrogate Open Exhibition and he has a semi-permanent selection of work exhibited at Chantry House Gallery, Ripley.
In 2015 his painting, ‘Foxgloves’, was shortlisted for the New Light Prize and he has also previously been selected for the Great North Art Show, Art for Youth North and North Yorkshire Open Studios. | <urn:uuid:3023cf79-b375-4e53-a860-3e5658ef48cf> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://silsoncontemporaryart.co.uk/coming-soon-springsummer-exhibition-27th-april-13th-july-2018/ | 2020-09-25T10:40:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.955863 | 1,700 |

Wharton Leadership Development Workshop: “Leadership As Activism”
Saturday, April 11, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.: The Wharton Leadership Development Workshops are a set of free active learning opportunities, focused on 1 to 3-day workshops that highlight alternative leadership education methodologies or specific topics.
In this workshop, participants will explore leadership as activism. Authentic leaders emerge when they are driven by a sense of purpose that inspires others; they have a clear vision for how they can create value for society at large, as well as for shareholders. The workshop looks at today’s ‘activist leaders’ in business: they are motivated by successful commercial outcomes, and also have a strong sense of public good. Working through real-life examples, you’ll see how it’s possible to grapple with complex societal issues whilst staying rooted in the core of the business.
The program is open to current and former Wharton MBA students free of charge. It will be held on campus from 10am-5pm on Saturday, April 11. If you are interested, please send your expression of interest in an email to Roksana Rusek [email protected]. Please include a short CV and examples of the context(s) in which you have enacted or hope to enact “leadership as activism.”
Out4Biz presents: Martine Rothblatt: following your passions to build successful, profitable organizations
April 23, Noon-1:30 p.m.: Martine Rothblatt is the only transgendered CEO of a publicly traded company, and is the highest paid woman CEO. How did she get where she is today? Join Out4Biz in a dynamic discussion as Rothblatt explains what led her to co-found Sirius Radio and eventually leave to embark on a journey via research on genetic engineering to find a drug to save her daughter from a fatal lung disease. Contact [email protected] for more information.
GEL Lunch Seminar: Robert A. Mosbacher, Jr.
April 7, Noon-1:15 p.m., JMHH F70: The Wharton Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership and the Wharton Social Impact Initiative present a lunch lectures with Robert Mosbacher, founder and chairman of BizCorps.
As a result of his travel while head of OPIC, he concluded that there is no shortage of SME entrepreneurs in emerging markets around the world. However, there is a severe shortage of businesses that have the capacity, particularly human capacity, to realize their potential. That is why he launched BizCorps, a non-profit program which recruits and places MBAs from top business schools with high potential, growth-oriented SMEs in targeted markets where they help address the capacity challenges of those businesses.
He will discuss that experience and others from the international economic development world. To attend the lecture, please RSVP to [email protected].

None Of the Above: The Case For Not Voting
Everywhere you turn, you're hearing about how important is is to exercise your right to vote.
You are about to hear a minority opinion.
Believe it or not, there is a case to be made for staying home and finding something - anything - to do instead.
The most obvious point in favor of this position is the fact that your single vote is extremely unlikely to make any whit of difference in itself.
There is also the fact that politicians - the ones usually at the forefront of the "get out the vote" campaign - themselves frequently abstain from voting on bills and issues when it's in their best interest to do so.
A lot of the social justice types like to throw around cliches like, "If you don't vote, you can't gripe." But you do have freedom of speech, and if you're paying taxes - something you generally don't have a choice about - you do have the right to weigh in.
So, if you don't see the point in voting, you don't have to feel guilty about it. There is a case to be made for "abstention." | <urn:uuid:161a5f81-c04f-4966-a292-25e425e00af7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://supertalk1270.com/none-of-the-above-the-case-for-not-voting/ | 2020-09-25T09:48:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400223922.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925084428-20200925114428-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.975149 | 243 |
