Three more companies pulled ads from ABC's "The View" as the show tried to bandage a bleeding wound caused by backlash for mocking nurses — by trotting out more than 50 health care professionals on the Friday broadcast.
A day after two major advertisers suspended their ads, the daytime talk show welcomed nurses to talk about their lifesaving work — a naked bid to tamp down the PR nightmare that began after two panelists made fun of a Miss America contestant who wore scrubs and a stethoscope during the Sunday night pageant.
At the end of the segment on "The View" producers even trotted out 52 nurses on stage, some fresh off a 12-hour shift at NYU Medical Center, according to a spokesman for the nursing school.
The grand gesture did little to squelch the controversy.
Hours later, Party City, Snuggle, and McCormick spices all yanked advertizing from the show, TMZ reported.
The caregiver controversy started on Monday, when co-hosts Joy Behar and Michelle Collins poked fun at Miss Colorado Kelley Johnson's heartfelt speech about nursing on the Miss America show.
"Shockingly, (she) did not win," Collins said sarcastically.
Behar went further.
"Why does she have a doctor's stethoscope on?" Behar asked, inflaming a sore spot for nurses used to being underappreciated.
The comments prompted a social media backlash under the hashtag, NursesUnited. Despite on-air apologies from Behar and Collins on Wednesday, pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson and dairy company Eggland's Best pulled their ads.
On Friday, Behar quipped that she and her show had gotten the message.
"One thing that became abundantly clear this week is that nurses wear stethoscopes," Behar said.
And Collins said the magic word, "Sorry."
"Our comments Monday played into (the idea that nurses are underappreciated) and I'm sorry about that," she said.
It is unclear if the apologies have appeased America's 3.4 million working nurses. | <urn:uuid:65831ee2-00af-4291-b27a-091b79696583> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/view-opens-nurses-52-fact-article-1.2365896 | 2020-09-26T19:35:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.962055 | 429 |
Image from BabyCenter--24 weeks
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon start to plump up. Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon. | <urn:uuid:fdb5a544-43b0-4ff5-bd1a-63b837daef3a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ourfaithfulhome.com/blog/6-month-mark | 2020-09-26T17:42:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.972323 | 149 |

AC Energy raise $400 Million from green bond issue
AYALA-LED AC Energy, Inc. has valued its senior perpetual fixed-for-life green bond issuance at $400 million with a fixed coupon of 5.65% with no step-up and no reset, its listed unit said on Wednesday.
“This represents the first US dollar denominated fixed-for-life green bond ever issued globally,” AC Energy Philippines, Inc. told the stock exchange.
It said the bonds will be issued by AC Energy Finance International Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of AC Energy, and will be guaranteed by AC Energy. The bonds will be listed on SGX-ST. They are certified under the ASEAN Green Bonds Standards by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission on Nov. 18.
“AC Energy plans to deploy the funds for renewable energy expansion across the Asia Pacific region to include the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, India and Australia, among others,” said AC Energy Philippines, which is 66.34% owned by AC Energy.
The ASEAN Green Bonds Standards is an initiative that facilitates ASEAN capital markets in tapping green finance to support sustainable regional growth and meet investor interest for green investments.
The standards are part of the ASEAN Capital Markets Forum’s broader efforts in developing green finance for the region. They have been developed in collaboration with the International Capital Market Association.
AC Energy is the energy platform of Ayala Corp., one of the country’s largest business groups. It is one of the fastest growing energy companies with more than $1 billion of invested and committed equity in renewable and thermal energy in the Philippines and around the region.
The company aspires to exceed 5 gigawatts of attributable capacity and generate at least half of energy from renewables by 2025.
As of November 2019, AC Energy has a net attributable capacity of over 1,600 megawatts (MW), of which 600 MW is from renewable sources. | <urn:uuid:bf5f1d2d-6cf6-4eec-b62f-baed96ec4b1e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.pimagazine-asia.com/ac-energy-raise-400-million-from-green-bond-issue/ | 2020-09-26T18:04:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.93193 | 405 |

Research shows that one in every four workers will become disabled before they reach retirement age. As an employee, this means that if you want to cover yourself for injuries that could put you out of work for more than two and a half years, you need to invest in both short-term and long-term disability insurance. Most people fail to include this in their monthly deductible because in most employment cases, you cover the cost of the premium 100 percent. Well, the situation becomes completely different when you are not employed but own your own business.
Business and disability
When you are running a small-scale business, it means that you are completely in charge of all the operations, profitability, and costs associated with running the business. Now think of a situation where you were diagnosed with a long-term illness, and it put you out of business for a year or two. Obviously, the profitability of the business would take a hit, and you would still have your regular expenses to deal with. If you do not have insurance, you will soon find your medical expenses eating into your savings and things could get really tough.
How much you get
When you pay your premiums regularly, you will be entitled to up to 60 percent of the amount of income that you get monthly for a period of up to two and a half years if you are out of work for that long. There are some plans that can pay you well into your retirement also. This is a great arrangement because it will pay for close to all of your regular bills. If you have a medical cover in place, you will not even have too much to worry about financially.
This insurance deals with the assumption that if you are disabled for a short period of time, you will be using your own income before the cover sets in. This is where a short-term disability cover comes in handy. Alternatively, you can use own savings till you start receiving the money.
Knowing about the options that you have in disability cover is the first step towards making your business future secure. Take time and look at the products available. This will protect your business from possible losses, safeguard your family from financial strain and make it easier to handle any disability which may come along the way. | <urn:uuid:e2b7daf0-1aa2-4ea1-8287-0e4e6647045d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.planthybusiness.com/do-i-need-long-term-disability-insurance-if-i-run-my-own-business/ | 2020-09-26T18:02:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.974631 | 470 |

Summer returned, and all kinds of juveniles returned to the coastal areas of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Of course, the first to be reported were the larvae of all kinds of swallow fish (Platax sp.). In green, phytoplankton-growing harbors, occasionally small groups of pointed-finned swallow Platax TEIRA can be seen swimming in the water. They move very slowly, but very few big fish attack them. After all, swallow fins are very large; in addition to pointed-finned swallow, another kind of swallow heart quietly appears in the harbor. In the harbour, there are all kinds of garbage, algae and leaves floating on the water, but not all of them are real, just like the larvae of the round-eyed swallow Platax orbicularis, which are disguised as dead leaves and can not be found without careful observation.

We’ve already learned quite a bit about the new 2017 Audi TT RS. It’s the second-generation of the TT RS model name and it’s one of the best performance cars Audi currently makes. It was also the first of Audi’s new performance cars to gain more of a grand-touring style, rather than be an all-out sports car. We know that it’s blisteringly fast, we know that it has tremendous grip and we also know that it’s better suited at straight lines, long sweepers and daily driving than it is back road canyon carving. But what are some interesting facts that you might not know about the TT RS? Well, TFLC gives us five in this latest video.
The first up is the engine. We know that it sports a 2.5 liter turbocharged five-cylinder and have known since forever. That’s because it’s one of the best engines Audi has ever made and one of the best one the market. It’s a mighty motor, packing 400 hp from less than 3.0 liters, and it makes a delicious noise. But what many might not know about it is that a lot of the reasoning for why it sounds so good is its engine’s firing order. It’s cylinder firing order is 1, 2, 4, 5, 3. That’s sort of odd but it works and makes an awesome sound doing it.
Next up is the fact that the Audi TT RS can pull 1.0 g under acceleration. That’s incredible, to be honest, from a 2.5 liter five-cylinder engine and such a small car. That sort of pulling power is normally reserved for big-block Corvettes and exotic supercars. Yet, this small, turbocharged five-pot sports car can do the job. It can also get from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds. That’s crazy. This g-force info can be spotted on the impressive Virtual Cockpit.Roman Mica, host of TFLC, also points out the fun air vents. While circular air vents aren’t the special, these have the HVAC controls housed inside of them. This makes it very intuitive and easy to adjust air cabin temperature while also easily changing the direction of the vents. So not only do they look cool, but they’re impressively functional and intuitive.
The existence of a back seat is also interesting. Technically, the Audi TT RS is a 2+2, meaning that it’s designed to fit two adults in the back. While that’s an interesting bit of info, Audi is apparently exaggerating the size of its back seat. It can fit two adults, if those adults are lacking, ya know, legs.
Next is the fact that Audi claims the TT RS only has one natural competitor, the Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman. However, we’re not sure if that’s true or not. The BMW M2, is also a good competitor to the TT RS, as they’re both turbocharged coupes with similar performance times. Sure, the TT RS is faster than the M2 but it’s faster than the Cayman S by an even larger margin. I think that’s just a bit of VW Group homerism.
The last surprising bit is the fact that the Audi TT RS, despite looking very cool, isn’t much different than the RS3 Sedan. While we already knew that, there are probably a lot of fans that were unaware. So if you want the TT RS but need a back seat and a bigger trunk, the Audi RS3 can be the perfect car for you, as it has the exact same engine and transmission, chassis all-wheel drive system and steering. | <urn:uuid:3886f965-0848-4e42-b1a6-42b844096afe> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.quattrodaily.com/video-five-interesting-facts-audi-tt-rs-tflc/ | 2020-09-26T18:43:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.952778 | 802 |

Queen Elizabeth II Celebrates Her Official Birthday with Ceremony at Windsor
Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her official birthday at a scaled-back event in Windsor. This year, the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony, which has marked the official birthday of the British monarch for over 260 years, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event normally features a military parade and thousands of spectators, but today a small celebration has been held at Windsor Castle, with guardsmen keeping social distance.

Variety of events in Stevenage and Hatfield marking 25 years of Carers Week
PUBLISHED: 12:02 08 June 2019 | UPDATED: 12:51 08 June 2019
As Carers Week kicks off on Monday Herts-based care workers are being invited to a wide range of free events across the county.
The events are being hosted by charity Carers in Hertfordshire and will take place across Stevenage and Hatfield.
The theme of this year's Carers Week is 'Getting Carers Connected,' marking 25 years since Carers Week began.
A main event taking place in Stevenage will be a fundraising walk for Carers UK on Saturday, June 15 at Fairlands Valley Park in Stevenage.
Mayor Simon Speller and Iain Macbeath, director of Hertfordshire County Council's Adult Care Services, will lead walkers off at 11.30am.
Carers in Herts policy and engagement manager Roma Mills said: "Carers Week helps highlight the important role carers play.
"It's an opportunity to build on our work connecting carers with each other so they don't feel isolated."
There will be a range of events, providing an opportunity for carers meet their peers, learn about available support or take a break from caring.
You may also want to watch:
Herts' unpaid carers can enjoy a drop-in Pamper and Fitness event at Ingleheim Suite, Stevenage on Tuesday, June 11.
During this event there will also be fitness sessions run by Stevenage Leisure Ltd.
Alternatively, an information event will be hosted in Hatfield and Carers' Discount Cards will be available at Stevenage's Lister Hospital, both on Thursday, June 13.
Carers can be a vulnerable group, and there have been concerns over their health needs and mental health - which led to the 'Getting Carers Connected' theme.
Carers in Hertfordshire is a national charity for unpaid carers who look after their friends, neighbours or relatives.
The charity was formed in 1995 by carers as a source of support, advice and information.
Carers week is a national awareness week aiming to raise the profile of carers. In the UK, it is estimated that there are 6.5 million full and part-time carers.
Any volunteering or fundraising efforts for Carers in Hertfordshire are being encouraged by the charity.

A few months ago we talked about a troubling case of a Chinese company wanting to buy a Montreal high tech company that’s a leader in laser-fibre technology with military and national security applications.
Canada’s spy and security agencies reviewed it and made a very strong recommendation to the Canadian government of the day — Don’t do it.
They said the sale could give China a military advantage over us and our allies, so the Harper Conservatives accepted their advice and blocked the sale.
Well, that was then, and this is now.
As we told you in March, Trudeau overturned the Harper governments’ decision, overruled the spy agencies' dire warnings, and sold our hi tech secrets to China, and now China wants more high tech secrets from Canada.
Last time, the story was Canada’s spy agencies begging Trudeau not to hand over military secrets to China. This time, the Trudeau government is allowing Chinese investors to buy a high-tech firm without even a formal national security review.
At least in the previous case, CSIS and other agencies were allowed to review things, and give a confidential report to cabinet, but not this time.
As we know by his own words, Trudeau loves China’s basic dictatorship, and he loves how they do business.
China lets Trudeau hold a panda, and they call him Little Potato, and he’s handing over company after company.
Trudeau took a free benefit from billionaire Aga Khan and there are lots of Chinese billionaires out there.
I wonder if he’s taking secret gifts from them too — or if handing over our high tech companies is something he’s doing just out of ideological fervour, and naivete.
I have more questions than answers.

We live in the era of modern globalization, a development that is both dynamic and highly controversial; it engages many actors, factors, and mechanisms, and appears in various fields and forms. As acknowledged by the United Nations General Assembly, globalization is ‘not merely an economic process but [one that] has social, political, environmental, cultural and legal dimensions’.1 It is difficult to dispute Thomas Friedman’s prediction that the general process of globalization will profoundly affect law.2 ‘Globalization of law may be defined as the worldwide progression of transnational legal structures and discourses along the dimensions of extensity, intensity, velocity, and impact.’3 In other words, it includes the globalization of legal institutions and legal instruments at national and international levels.
Transnational judicial conversation amongst courts and judges from across the globe is at the core of this globalization of the judiciaries, which in itself constitutes a significant part of legal globalization. Moreover, the dialogue among courts is part of a wider epistemic dialogue and flow of information that is occurring in many fields.
As in other fields of human activity such as politics, science, sport, art, film, or music, in the judiciary, certain actors—courts and judges—have a global influence, and play starring roles. The Supreme Court of Canada (SCC), and several of its justices, are among the most well-known. The Court’s judgments, legal tests and best practices, are often used as guidance. Indeed, many scholars, not only those from a Canadian background, consider the SCC a global frontrunner in the process of transnational judicial interaction, particularly in regards to the citation of foreign judgments.
There are an impressive number of academic works on the engagement of the SCC mostly with foreign case law.4 This interest is mainly explained by the excellent reputation of the SCC in the global arena.
Slaughter, one of the prominent experts in the field, demonstrates a high respect for the SCC.5 When trying to identify the most influential ‘donor’ or ‘lender’ of judicial precedents in recent years, she names the SCC as a highly influential court, even more so than the US Supreme Court.6 Frederick Schauer, too, agrees that the ‘ideas and constitutionalists of Canada have been disproportionately influential,’ in part because ‘Canada, unlike the United States, is seen as reflecting an emerging international consensus rather than existing as an outlier.’7
According to Gentili and Mak, the SCC ‘has established itself as one of the most progressive constitutional judiciaries worldwide … [and] appears to be at the forefront of judicial globalisation when it comes to its transnational connections with other courts.’8 Their conclusion is based on a quantitative general overview of the SCC’s references to foreign case law from 1982–2014,9 and a quantitative analysis of the trends of SCC citation of foreign case law.10
Other scholars have praised the SCC’s judicial communication and influence in the global arena. In 2008, after conducting an empirical study on the use of foreign judgments by Australian State Supreme Courts over the last 40 years, Russell Smyth discovered that the citation of Canadian cases in Australia had increased to the point where only the citation of New Zealand cases was greater, whereas the citation of American cases had decreased.11 In an empirical study on the citation of overseas authorities in rights litigation in New Zealand, James Allan, Grant Huscroft, and Nessa Lynch revealed that Canadian courts, particularly the SCC, are cited by New Zealand courts far more than those from any other jurisdiction, and twice as often as American cases. In their view, Canadian judges are ‘the most judicially activist in the common law world—the most willing to second guess the decisions of the elected legislatures.’12
Although all these studies and academic conversations are certainly important for better understanding the phenomenon of transnational judicial dialogue and the role of the SCC, most authors seem to equate such dialogue with the citation of foreign case law, and use them interchangeably. Moreover, the existing scholarship does not provide a comprehensive picture of all forms of non-domestic legal sources cited by the SCC in all its judgments within the timeframe of this study. Some studies focus only on one or few fields of law (mainly constitutional);13 most consider only the citation of comparative case law of one particular foreign jurisdiction (US or UK);14 others focus solely on international courts or the use of international law;15 and nearly all the literature regards the Court as a whole.16 Hence, one of the main purposes of this paper is to offer to the existing scholarship comprehensive and empirical quantitative data that includes within the same ‘picture’ all forms of non-domestic legal sources used by this Court. This broader perspective is key for assessing the ‘globalist’ or ‘localist’ approach of a court and its genuine place in the judicial global network.
A significant criticism of the SCC’s role in the transnational judicial arena, and particularly in the citation of foreign case law, is that not all SCC judges contribute or invest the same effort in the process.17 Such a criticism is worth it to be evaluated empirically, and that constitutes another central goal of this paper. By providing an empirical picture of individual judges’ engagement with all forms of non-domestic legal sources, this article aims to contribute to the existing academic conversation by providing a more comprehensive picture from both, an institutional and judge individual perspective. Such a dual perspective can also help for the contextualization and explanation of the results, and the theorization of transnational judicial dialogue. Moreover, without looking at the level of engagement of all forms of non-domestic legal sources, the ‘globalist’ or ‘localist’ approach of a court or a judge cannot be fairly assessed, because it will be incomplete to say the least.
After clarifying the methodology, this article, first, will present quantitative data on the citation of comparative legal sources throughout the years by focusing not only on comparative case law (foreign judgments), but also on primary comparative legal sources such as constitutions, codes, statutes, and regulations of other nations. Second, the focus will shift to presenting quantitative data on the reference of international legal sources of both, primary nature, such as international conventions and treaties, but also secondary sources such as judicial decisions of international or supranational courts.18 Finally, in addition to the quantitative analysis of the citation of non-domestic legal sources from the Court’s perspective, a quantitative analysis will also be performed from an individual judge’s perspective by identifying the most and least proactive judges according to their engagement with non-domestic legal sources. The goal of this section is not to provide clear-cut categories, but rather to suggest a spectrum of individual judges based on the amount of use of these non-domestic citations.
The key methodological instrument that was used to uncover the quantity of non-domestic legal sources cited by the SCC in all its 1223 judgments issued by the SCC over the 17 years (2000–2016), is the web-based research. In order to include all SCC decisions issued within the 17-year period, judgments were accessed through its official website.19 A year-by-year search of SCC judgments was conducted, with each decision reviewed individually.20 The following elements were sought within each judgment’s contents: field of law, judges who formed the majority and penned the decision, dissenting judges, and all four categories of non-domestic legal sources (foreign case law; foreign constitutions, statutes and regulations; international case law; international treaties).
Fortunately, the text of SCC judgments now contains several of the above elements under the subheadings ‘Cases Cited,’ ‘Statutes and Regulations Cited,’ and ‘Treaties and Other International Instruments’. Nonetheless, the ‘Cases Cited’ sections of all 1,223 decisions had to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to identify all citations of foreign and international courts. Regrettably, the judgments of other nations and of international courts referred in these decisions are still mixed with Canadian case law in the ‘Cases Cited’ sections. Hence, to find them, all 24,509 cases (19,492 in majority decisions and 5,017 in dissents) cited during the 17-year period had to be checked individually. Then all non-Canadian cases had to be identified, matched with the appropriate jurisdiction (foreign national court or international), and then divided according to their domestic jurisdictions (highest court or lower court).
When researching foreign citations, the ‘Statutes and Regulations Cited’ sections of all 1,223 SCC judgments had to be checked manually due to the lack of separation of comparative laws from Canadian statutes and regulations. To find the comparative statutes and regulations, all 5,647 statutes and regulations used by the SCC had to be reviewed, identified, matched with the appropriate jurisdiction (nation state), and divided according to jurisdiction.
The only category of non-domestic legal sources that allowed for a more straightforward identification procedure was that of international treaties, which the SCC labels as ‘Treaties and Other International Instruments.’ However, even this simpler approach was not always possible. Previously, international treaties were included under the category, ‘Statutes and Regulations’; it was only in 2005 that the SCC distinguished them under a separate subheading in a case penned by Justice Ian Binnie (the subheading was then titled ‘International Documents’).21 This practice of separating international treaties is still followed, which helps not only the reader of SCC judgments but also the Court itself to be more self-reflective of the citation of international legal instruments as a distinct category of legal sources.
The collection of quantitative data relating to individual judges also required important methodological choices. First, all judges that served on the SCC between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016 had to be identified. Twenty-one individual judges were found to have served or are serving on the Court, of which eight were current and 13 were former judges. The next step was to look at all 1,223 decisions of the SCC to determine which judge penned or contributed to each decision, with additional notes made regarding which judges penned decisions that cited non-domestic legal sources. Notes were kept on the types of non-domestic legal sources cited, and in which fields of law.
SCC judgments also contain information about cases cited by dissenting judges. Considering that the central focus of this paper is to show the quantity of non-domestic legal sources on the Court’s judgments, it was decided to include the data on dissenting judges. The inclusion of dissenting opinions paints a broader picture of the engagement of individual judges with foreign legal sources. Moreover, such a choice allows for a more accurate count of the number of references of foreign legal sources by the SCC. In addition, occasionally dissenting judgments inspired by non-domestic legal sources prompt the Court change its previous practice and embrace transnational or international standards.
3. Quantitative data on the citation of non-domestic legal sources from the perspective of the SCC as an institution
As mentioned above, this article represents a quantitative analysis of the 1,223 SCC judgments delivered between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016. The goal is to identify to what extent within this 17-year period, the SCC cited all form of non-domestic legal sources.
It is anticipated that foreign precedents of other nations (or what will be referred to here as ‘comparative case law’), as the most natural form of court globalization for many scholars,22 will be nearly the only legal foreign source to deal with. The data of this research, including the content of the SCC judgments themselves,23 conversely show that in addition to comparative case law, the Court has also cited three other forms of non-domestic legal sources on a constant basis; namely: constitutions, statutes and regulations of other nations; case law of international or supranational courts; and international treaties. Hence, to provide the full picture of the reference of non-domestic legal sources by the SCC, and as a response to academic calls,24 all four types of non-domestic legal sources found within the text of SCC judgments have been included here.
In this paper, non-domestic legal sources are categorized into two groups: comparative legal sources, comprised of comparative case law (foreign judgments) and comparative law (constitutions, codes, statutes and regulations of other nations); and international legal sources, comprised of international case law and international treaties. By focusing on all forms of non-domestic legal sources, this empirical study can provide, at least quantitatively, a much broader picture of the ‘globalist’ character of the SCC, which certainly extends beyond the borrowing of precedents among courts.
3.1. Comparative legal sources
Comparative legal sources are formal legal acts of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of other countries. To gain a better understanding of the variety of legal sources used by the SCC in its transnational judicial dialogue, and based on how the Court itself distinguishes and categorizes legal sources, the quantitative data have been separated into two subcategories: ‘comparative case law’ and ‘comparative law.’ Comparative case law refers to all judicial decisions enacted by national courts outside Canada (foreign judgments); whereas comparative law includes everything else, particularly formal legal acts (e.g., constitutions, codes, statutes and regulations) passed by the legislative and executive branches of foreign countries.
3.1.1. Comparative case law (foreign judgments)
The present research shows that of the 1,223 judgments delivered by the SCC between 2000 and 2016, the SCC cited in total 1,791 decisions from the courts of other nations. 1,360 foreign decisions were cited in majority and unanimous judgments, whereas 431 times in the dissenting reasoning. This is a significant number even when compared to the 24,509 cases cited by the Court in total during the relevant 17 years, of which 22,592 were Canadian cases and 126 international or supranational.25 This means that for every 12 to 13 Canadian cases sited in its judgments, the SCC referred one precedent from another nation.
It is very important to note that the SCC cited foreign judgments constantly throughout the 17 years of this study; indeed, there was no single year in which the SCC failed to cite a foreign precedent in its decisions. Figure 1 demonstrates that the SCC has not simply cited 1,791 foreign precedents, but in fact has referred a good number of them throughout the analyzed 17-year period constantly, with an average of 105 foreign precedents per year (25 in dissenting judgments). However, Figure 1 illustrates noticeable fluctuations. From the 146, 162 and 202 comparative cases per year cited respectively in 2000, 2001 and 2002, there is a sharp decrease in 2015 and 2016 when the Court fell below its 17-year average, citing only 81 and 45 foreign judgments. Considering that in 2016, the SCC cited only 29 foreign precedents in unanimous and majority decisions (and 16 in dissenting), this year constitutes the lowest year not only in the entire studied period, but also in all history of the SCC since the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms entered into force.26
The data here show that the SCC cited foreign judgments in 393 of its 1,223 decisions for an average of approximately 32.1 percent of all judgments (Figure 2). In other words, nearly one-third of all SCC decisions cite precedents of other nations, making for an average of approximately 23 decisions that cite comparative case law per year (Table 2).
The citation of comparative case law is even higher, if the number of judgments in which the SCC did not mention any case law at all is taken into account. As seen in Figure 2, of the 1,223 judgments delivered, 175 decisions (14.3% of all cases or an average of approximately 10 decisions per year) were made without the citation of any case law at all (including Canadian cases). In the remaining 1,048 SCC decisions that referred a case law, the Court cited precedents of foreign nations in 393 judgements; in other words in 37.5% of all its decisions. In 651 decisions the Court cited only Canadian case law, whereas in 4 decisions, the SCC besides domestic jurisprudence, has referred to judgments of international courts (without referring any judgments of foreign nations).27
Many interesting findings regarding the use of non-domestic legal sources can be found in dissenting decisions (Table 1). Of the 1,223 SCC judgments issued in 2000–2016, 299 are accompanied by dissenting opinions (approximately 25%). Of these 299 dissents, 127, or 42.4%, included engagement with non-domestic legal sources. This percentage is higher than the approximately 32.1% of unanimous or majority decisions citing foreign judgments. In addition, the density of use of non-domestic legal sources is higher in dissenting than in majority and unanimous decisions. In 229 dissents, the dissenting judges used 468 non-domestic legal sources, with an average of about 1.5 sources per dissent. Meanwhile, the 1,223 decisions cited 1,360, with an average of about 1.1 non-domestic sources per judgment. This data indicates that in dissenting decisions, judges look more often to international and comparative legal sources. In their internal debate over the best possible solution, it seems that judges look for inspiration beyond Canadian borders. This data is significant because a dissenting decision may pave the way for a change of practice in the SCC. As one SCC judge said to an interviewer, ‘A dissenting decision … is the law of tomorrow.’28
|Total nr. of Year||SCC Decisions per Year||Caseswith Dissenting||Dissenting Decisions Containing Non-Domestic Legal Sources||Non-Domestic Legal Sources per Year in Dissenting Decisions|
|Year||Total Number of SCC Decisions per Year||Number of SCC Decisions Citing Foreign Judgments Law per Year||Percentage of SCC Decisions Citing Foreign Judgments per Year|
Overall, the number of SCC decisions that cited foreign judgments was not consistent over the 17 years (Table 2). SCC judgments cited foreign precedents most frequently in 2001, 2002, and 2013 (30, 38, and 32 judgments respectively). The lowest number was cited in 2010, 2011, 2014, and 2016 (18, 14, 17 and 18 judgments respectively). Except for 2013, in which the SCC cited foreign case law in 32 of its judgments, it seems that the last years, the number of SCC judgments with foreign case law has been decreased and is below the average (23 per year).29
The next goal of this empirical paper is the identification of the foreign courts upon which the SCC relies. This is important for pinpointing the foreign courts with which the SCC is in horizontal conversation,30 and from which it borrows precedents. Research showed that the SCC cited precedents from courts of 14 different nations from all continents, except South America, including: the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Israel, Ireland, Hong Kong, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, India and Switzerland (Figure 3). Not all of these nations’ courts were consulted uniformly, however. Four of them, namely the UK (798 precedents), US (746 precedents), Australia (125 precedents) and New Zealand (47 precedents) accounted for more than 95 percent of the entire number of comparative citations.31 Figure 3 provides a simple visualization of the foreign countries that the SCC refers to most regularly.
What foreign courts does the SCC refer to? Upon first consideration, it is reasonable to think that the SCC would cite only its counterparts, the highest courts of other nations. In fact, this research data shows that the SCC has cited precedents not only from the highest courts of the above states, but has also heavily referred precedents from lower apex courts. As shown in Figure 4, the 1,791 comparative precedents that the SCC cited in the 17-year period of this study, more than half of them (980 precedents, or 54.7% of all citations) were cases from ordinary lower courts.32
Table 3 shows that the SCC has referred to decisions of lower courts from nine different nations, the most frequently cited being: UK courts (491), US (411), and Australia (55). Looking at these numbers, another argument that can be made is that the SCC is also open to transnational judicial dialogue with lower courts.33 Sceptics may argue that in its efforts to validate decisions already made (i.e., the ‘cherry picking’ process), the SCC will look everywhere it can.34 Regardless of the reasoning behind the citation of lower courts by the SCC, however, both scenarios prove the openness of the SCC to new ideas and solutions from abroad, which in turn opens the Court to legal globalization.
In looking at SCC counterparts, or the apex courts of other nations cited by the Court, the data revealed that the SCC mentioned precedents from 13 different nations. Of these, the two most cited highest foreign courts are: The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) with 336 cases, and the House of Lords (now known as the Supreme Court of the UK) with 307 cases (Table 4).35
|House of Lords/SCUK||14||19||21||19||14||12||9||22||34||21||21||21||8||26||25||10||11||307|
Other highest foreign courts frequently cited by the SCC include the Australian apex court with 69 precedents; the New Zealand apex court with 39 precedents; the South African apex court with 17 precedents; France’s apex court with 16 precedents and the apex of Israel with 9 precedents.
3.1.2. Comparative law (laws of other nations)
As stated above, the second form of comparative legal sources cited by the SCC is formal legal acts passed by the legislative and executive branches of other foreign countries, such as constitutions, codes, statutes and regulations. Table 5 reveals that, during the 17 years of this study, the SCC cited such legal sources of other nations a total of 242 times. This is a significant number even within the 5,647 statutes and regulations cited by the SCC during the study period (including Canadian statutes and regulations and international treaties). Approximately 4.3% of all statutes and regulations quoted by the SCC in its decision making are comparative ones; or, put more simply, the SCC cites one primary source from another nation for approximately every 23 Canadian statutes and regulations.
Another interesting finding is that the SCC has cited comparative law every year for the last 17 years (2000–2016). Table 5 illustrates that the SCC used a good number of foreign constitutions, statutes and regulations steadily throughout the analyzed years, with an average of 14 to 15 comparative law citations per year. The number of comparative law references per year ranged from four in 2000 (the lowest) to 27 in 2007.
Which countries’ laws does the SCC cite in its decisions? The present research shows that, just as with the citation of comparative precedents, the SCC has cited the constitutions, codes, statutes and regulations of other countries from all continents, except South America; in total 16 different foreign countries, including the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, France, South Africa, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, India, Rwanda, Romania, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Sweden (Table 5). The comparative laws of the five countries referred the most are: the UK (99 times), the US (69), Australia (40), New Zealand (11) and France (8). It is interesting to note that the SCC has cited UK and US laws in every single year of the 17 years researched here, followed by Australia law (cited in 14 years). In addition, as with foreign precedents, the most cited comparative statutes and regulations were from the UK.
Table 5 reveals that the number of countries from which the Court referenced constitutions, codes, statutes and regulations is higher (16) than the number (14) from which it examined court judgments.36
Three notes observations follow: First, there are a number of countries to which the SCC refers for both comparative law and comparative case law (the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, France, South Africa, Ireland, Belgium, India, and Germany). Second, the SCC has referred to several nations only for court decisions (Israel, Hong Kong, the Netherlands and Switzerland). Third, the SCC has cited a number of nations simply as references for their laws rather than their courts’ precedents (Rwanda, Romania, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Sweden).
Table 6 shows that the SCC has cited comparative law in 106 decisions, making an average of 6 to 7 decisions per year. The number of SCC decisions citing comparative law has remained constant, ranging between four percent of cases in 2003 (3 decisions) the lowest, and 20.4 percent in 2007 (11 decisions) the highest. This means that nearly one tenth of all SCC decisions cite laws of other nations, an average that was also maintained through 2016.
|YEAR||Total Number of SCC Decisions per Year||Number of SCC Decisions Citing Comparative Law per Year||Number of SCC Decisions Citing Comparative Law per Year in Percentage|
3.1.3. Field of law
In what fields of law is the SCC citing such comparative legal sources? The results outlined in Figure 5 revealed that the SCC cites foreign precedents not only in constitutional and international law cases as would be expected,37 but also in other 50 different fields of both public and private law.38 The 10 fields of law that have generated the highest number of foreign precedents are: constitutional law, torts, criminal law, insurance, intellectual property, civil procedure, administrative law, evidence, courts and labour law, ranging from 341 precedents (cited in constitutional law cases) to 52 precedents (cited in labour law cases).
The next question is: How many Court decisions citing comparative law correspond to each field of law? The results of this investigation revealed that not all fields attracted the same number of SCC judgments with comparative case law. The top three fields with the highest number of SCC judgments are: constitutional law, with 102 decisions (21.6%); criminal law, with 94 decisions (20%); and torts, with 36 decisions (7.6%). These numbers show that the current general perception that SCC judgments cite comparative case law only on constitutional cases is inaccurate. It is true that constitutional law judgments attract the largest number of foreign decisions, yet these cases constitute only about one fifth (21.6%) of all SCC judgments that cite foreign precedents. Besides criminal law and torts mentioned above (which together with constitutional law count for about 50%), the rest, in other words about 50% of SCC decisions who cite foreign judgments belong to other fields of law, such as administrative law and civil procedure (31 respectively); intellectual property (20); courts (19); insurance (17); evidence and contract law (13 respectively); international law (12).
Another important question is: In what fields does the SCC cite the laws of other nations? This research shows that the SCC has cited comparative laws in 32 different fields of law, of both public and private sphere.39 As can be seen in Table 7, the top three fields of law that have attracted the reference of comparative law are: constitutional law (124 times), criminal law (61 times), and intellectual property (27 times).
|FIELDS OF LAW||Total Number of Citations of Comparative Law per Field of Law||Percentage from the Total Number of Citations of Comparative Law|
|International Law (Public & Private)||9||2.6%|
|Other (22 Fields of Law)||48||13.9%|
But how are the comparative legal sources spread over the SCC decisions? Same as above, Table 8 shows that the top three fields of law which attract the most SCC decisions relying on comparative legal sources are: constitutional law (38 decisions, 25%), criminal law (26 decisions, 17%), and intellectual property (14 decisions, 9%).
|FIELDS OF LAW||Total Number of SCC Decisions with Comparative Law per Field of Law||Percentage from the Total Number of Decisions per Field of Law|
|International Law (Public & Private)||7||4.6%|
|Other (22 Fields of Law)||28||18.5%|
3.2. Quantitative data on the citation of international legal sources
After comparative legal sources, the next essential category of non-domestic legal sources is international legal sources. Based on the categorization of sources and the way in which the SCC itself has classified these international legal sources, they can be divided into the subcategories of ‘international case law’ and ‘international treaties’.
3.2.1. Citation of international case law
International Case Law: — Although the reference of case law from international and supranational courts is far below the citation of courts of other nations, the SCC have cited such precedents in 54 different decisions over the 17 years of this research (Table 9). Simply put, the SCC cites the precedents of international courts in 3.2 percent of its total number of decisions per year. Despite the lower numbers compared to foreign judgments, the citation of international and supranational judgments were spread in 13 of the 17 years of this study.
|YEAR||Total Nr of SCC Decisions||Number of SCC Decisions Citing International/Supranational Case Law||Total International/Supranational Case Law per Year|
|AVERAGE PER YEAR||71.9||3.2||7.4|
This research shows that from 2000 to 2016, the Court cited 126 decisions of international and supranational courts, which are found in 54 different judgments of the SCC. In other words, the SCC cites on average 7.4 international/supranational precedents per year. As Table 9 shows, not all years exhibit the same extent of citation. The SCC cited the most international court precedents in 2005 and 2014, at 15 and 23 international precedents, respectively. In 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2016, the SCC did not cite any international or supranational case law at all.
Another important task of this research was to identify the international and supranational courts upon which the SCC has relied. The SCC cited precedents from most well reputed international courts with global jurisdiction, as well as international and supranational regional courts from across the globe. In other words, all the above numbers arguably demonstrate that the SCC is in a vertical and diagonal dialogue with international and supranational courts. By vertical dialogue, I define the interaction between national courts and/or judges (in this case of the SCC) with supranational or international courts and judges. Diagonal dialogue occurs between a national constitutional court and a regional or supranational court, but the state of that specific constitutional court is not a member of that particular international or supranational organization. The best example of this model is the conversation between the SCC and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) or the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
As Table 10 shows, the SCC cited precedents of 14 different international and supranational courts (and quasi courts); the top three being, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Another court with supranational character is the UK Privy Council, which was cited 34 times by the SCC. If included, this Court becomes the second most cited supranational Court, after the ECtHR. The reasons behind the citation of the Privy Council are not difficult to comprehend, stemming from the roots of Canadian juridical and historical tradition.40
Besides the horizontal dialogue with foreign counterparts demonstrated in the above sections, Table 10 shows that the SCC participates also in a vertical and diagonal dialogue. Vertical dialogue consists of interaction with international courts and judges of international organizations of which Canada is a member (such as the ICJ); and diagonal dialogue takes place with regional or supranational courts of international organizations of which Canada is not a member and whose jurisprudence is not binding, for example the ECtHR. In fact, as Table 10 shows the most influential international court to the SCC is by far the ECtHR. This court has been cited 41 times (of 126 international/supranational precedents that SCC referred), comprising one third of the total number of all international citations. The reference of ECtHR case law can be explained by the Court’s global reputation in the realm of human rights.55 Some scholars consider it a ‘sort of world court of human rights,’56 that has surpassed by far the SCOTUS in terms of global influence.57 Another reason could be quantitative. The ECtHR has produced more decisions than all the other international or transnational courts.58 For instance, statistics show that in 2016 alone, the ECtHR issued 38,505 decisions and had a backlog of 79,750 cases.59 Arguably, with this volume of decisions, any court, including the SCC, can find cases and legal issues of interest. Thus, despite the fact that Canada is not a signatory of the European Convention of Human Rights, and that the judgments of ECtHR have only persuasive authority, those judgments have served as a significant point of reference,60 since 1986 when it all started.61 Other reasons why the SCC looks to the jurisprudence of the ECtHR may include common ground between the European Convention on Human Rights and the Canadian Charter, as well as their accessibility in English and French.
3.2.2. Citation of international treaties
International treaties, or simply ‘international law’ are the key form of international legal sources as defined by Article 38 of the Statute of International Court of Justice. International law includes international conventions, customs and the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations.62 In fact, the SCC has been classifying these distinctions separately in its judgments, and generally analyzes them in clear divided sections.63 However, as mentioned above, there are scholars, including those of Canadian origin, who are skeptical and critical of the SCC engagement with international law.64
With the above understanding of international treaties and the academic controversies in mind, one of the most important findings of this research was that the SCC referred international treaties during all 17 years of the study. The research data revealed that the SCC applied treaties from various global and regional international organizations, including bilateral treaties with other nations, a total 336 times. This number is even higher than the number of times that the SCC cited comparative statutes and regulations (242 times),65 and is significant even in the context of the 5,647 statutes and regulations mentioned by the Court during the 17-year research period. This means that for every 16 domestic statutes and regulations, the SCC cites one international treaty.
As Table 11 shows, the citation of international treaties by the SCC fluctuates from year to year, ranging from a maximum of 50 international treaties cited in 2002 to a low of 9 international treaties in 2008 and 2009. On average, the SCC referred international treaties approximately 20 times per year. However, in 2016 the SCC reached only half this average, citing only 11 international treaties.
|YEAR||Total Nr of SCC Decisions per Year||Decisions Citing International Treaties||Percentage of Decisions Citing International Treaties||Total Nr of Citation of International Treaties per Year|
Another way to look at the extent international treaty citation by the SCC is to observe the number of SCC judgments per year that involve international instruments. Over the research period, the SCC cited international treaties in 110 different decisions. This means that the SCC cited international treaties for an average of 6 to 7 decisions per year, or one in every 10 decisions. Just as with the number of treaties, the number of SCC decisions that cited international treaties varied between years. The highest number of SCC decisions citing international treaties were recorded in 2002, 2012 and 2015, at approximately 12.7, 14.7 and 14.5 percent of the total decisions per year, respectively. The lowest numbers were recorded in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2016, with only 3 to 4 decisions per year.
The next important question is: How many different international treaties cites the SCC, and what types of international treaties mentions the most? This research shows that the SCC has consulted 191 different international treaties not only those of global jurisdiction, but also regional and bilateral. This list of international treaties reveals that the SCC has cited international instruments from almost all the continents.66
Table 12 illustrates the top 10 most influential and often cited international legal documents. The top 3 most cited are: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (cited 22 times); the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms [the European Convention on Human Rights] (15 times); and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (13 times). In total, these key international legal documents have been cited 107 times, accounting for almost one third of all 336 times that international treaties were used in the 17 years of this study.
|International Treaties||Number of Times Cited|
|International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights||22|
|Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms[The European Convention on Human Rights]||15|
|Universal Declaration of Human Rights||13|
|Convention on the Rights of the Child||12|
|Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties||10|
|International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights||9|
|Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees||9|
|Berlin Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works||6|
|North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)||6|
|Convention (No. 87) Concerning Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize||5|
|(Other 181 International Treaties)||229|
By consulting this list of the most cited international treaties, as well as the full 191 international documents cited by the SCC over the research period, it can be observed that the SCC has also cited international treaties that Canada has neither ratified nor is a member of their international organizations. The most notable instance constitutes also the second most cited international document by the SCC: the European Convention of Human Rights, which is the key supranational document of the European legal order on human rights. This document can be also considered as the ‘constitution’ of the ECtHR, which was also the most cited international court by the SCC.67 This shows that the SCC, in its effort to ensure justice, goes well beyond the formal legal sources of international jurisdiction of which Canada is part. This strengthens the argument that the SCC’s process of transnational judicial conversation and general globalization of the Court is influenced not just by formal legal documents of which Canada is part, but also through comparative and international documents with persuasive force. Such engagement shows the openness of the SCC towards the use of international law, as well as its movement from a dualist legal system towards a monist one on international law.68 This is helped by the fact that international covenants and human rights treaties weighed heavily in the drafting of the Canadian Charter.69
3.2.3. Field of law
As with the comparative legal sources, one of the most significant ambitions of this study was to discover how the citation of international legal sources was distributed among the SCC decisions in different fields of law.
According to Figure 6, the SCC has cited international precedents in 13 different fields of law of both public and private law. The three fields of law that attracted the highest number of international judgments are: constitutional law (78 times), immigration law (44), and criminal law (36).70 Looking at the citation of international judgments, from the perspective of the SCC decisions citing such precedents according to field of law, constitutional law decisions constitute the most often decisions which involve international judgments (41%), followed by immigration law, administrative law and criminal law, at approximately 8% each.
Besides international judgments, international treaties also are referred in many fields of law. More specifically, Figure 7 reveals that the SCC referred international treaties in 30 different fields of law, of both public and private realms.71
4. Quantitative data based on individual judges
For a better understanding of the citation of non-domestic legal sources of a comparative and international nature by the SCC, it is important to go beyond the Court as an institution and look also at the roles of individual judges. In addition to the SCC as an institution, individual judges of this Court are key actors in the process of transnational judicial networks.72 They participate and contribute not only through the use of extra-judicial mechanisms, but also through legal ones by deciding whether and to what extent to engage with comparative and/or international legal sources. The key aim of this section is to find out whether and to what extent individual judges cite non-domestic legal sources (comparative or international) in their decision-making.
Immediately, it is important to acknowledge that all 21 judges of the SCC (13 former and 8 current)73 have cited some form of non-domestic legal sources in their decision writing and reasoning processes. This means that every current and former judge of the SCC has contributed, with his or her engagement with non-domestic legal sources, to the global profile of this Court. However, as noted above, it seems that not all the judges contributed the same amount or referred the same amount of non-domestic legal sources.74 A few were exceptional, having cited such legal sources several times more than the others.75 Yet, all these claims relate only to the citation of foreign judgments and do not rely on comprehensive empirical data that includes also the other three forms of non-domestic legal sources (comparative law, international case law and international treaties). Hence, this research seeks the full picture regarding the extent of citation of all forms of non-domestic legal sources by individual former and current justices of the SCC.
As Table 13 shows, the judge who referred the most formal non-domestic legal sources in the SCC is Justice Binnie. He cited these foreign sources 497 times during his 11 years and 10 months of service in the Court (within the 17-year timeframe of this study). The SCC judge with the second-highest citation of non-domestic legal sources was former Chief Justice McLachlin. She is the only judge to serve the entire 17 years included in this study, and during this period of time she cited non-domestic legal sources 393 times. The third most notable judge was Justice LeBel. During his 14 years and 11 months of service (within the timeframe of this study), he cited non-domestic legal sources 371 times. The judges with the lowest citation of non-domestic legal sources are all current judges: Justice Wagner (now CJ), Justice Gascon, and Justice Brown. During his 4 years and 3 months in the Court, Justice Wagner has cited non-domestic legal sources 30 times. Justice Gascon has cited 22 non-domestic legal sources within a timeframe of 2 years and 7 months, and Justice Brown has cited non-domestic legal sources 20 times in the 16 months that he has served in the Court.
|Judges||Total Number of Times Citing Non-Domestic Legal Sources||Period Served(within my timeframe)||Time Served in Months|
|Chief Justice McLachlin||393||(07.01.2000–31.12.2016) (Current)||204|
However, as Table 13 shows, a fair critique of the above numbers is that not all former and current judges have served the same amount of time within the Court, and therefore it is difficult to evaluate by numbers alone. To create a better and fairer picture of the citation of non-domestic legal sources by each individual judge requires the calculation of average citation per month, done so by dividing the number of times that each judge cited non-domestic legal sources by the number of months served in the Court during the research period.
Table 14 classifies the judges according to this average; the judge with the highest citation of non-domestic legal sources per month was still Justice Binnie, with an average of 3.5 foreign sources per month. The second and third rankings fell to Justice Dube, with an average of 2.4 foreign sources per month; and Justice Iacobucci, with 2.129 sources per month. Former Chief Justice McLachlin, who was the second highest judge in terms of total number of citation, fell to seventh place under this more accurate system with her average of 1.92 non-domestic sources per month. The three judges with the lowest averages of citation per month are Justice Gascon with 0.7 sources per month, Justice Karakatsanis with 0.61 sources per month and Justice (now CJ) Wagner with 0.58 sources per month.
|Judges||Average of Citation per Month||Number of Times Citing Non-Domestic Legal Sources|
|Chief Justice McLachlin||1.92||393|
It is interesting to note that the three judges with the lowest average of non-domestic legal source citation are all current judges, while the top three were all former judges. Perhaps even more intriguing is that nearly all the other current SCC judges rank on the bottom half of the total classification list; the only two current judges to appear on the top half of the list are Justice Coté, who scored fourth and is the first from all the current judges, and former Chief Justice McLachlin, who as stated above scored seventh.
By comparing the average numbers of the current judges to those of the former ones, it seems that the SCC is moving from a court with a high citation of non-domestic legal sources towards one that arguably is more sceptical about global legal sources. Someone can argue that these numbers can explain why the SCC appears to have become less ‘globalist,’ and is perhaps a fair explanation. When the SCC is comprised of judges who are sceptical towards the reference of non-domestic legal sources, no doubt the entire institution and its decision-making processes will become more so as well.
The significance of this shift is even more evident when looking at Table 14, comparing the averages per month of the top three judges (all former judges with an average of approximately 2.6 non-domestic legal sources per year) with the three bottom judges (all current judges with an average of 0.6 sources per month). The difference is still 4–5 times more citation of non-domestic legal sources, by the former judges.
Even when looking at Table 15, which compares the 13 former judges with the 8 current ones, the data shows that the former judges have cited on average 1.8 sources per month (2226 non-domestic legal sources in total) while the current judges average 1.2 sources per month (859 sources in total). This comparative picture shows that the current judges cite non-domestic legal sources on average 1.5 times less than the former judges.
|CURRENT JUDGES||Nr of Times Citing Non-Domestic Legal Sources||Average of Citation per Month|
|Chief Justice McLachlin||393||1.92|
|FORMER JUDGES||Nr of Times Citing Non-Domestic Legal Sources||Average of Citation per Month|
The picture becomes even more troubling considering that one of the most ‘globalist’ judge, former Chief Justice McLachlin, who has cited non-domestic legal sources almost same as all the other current justices combined,76 retired on December 2017.77 Without her, the average of citation per month of the current Court would drop significantly to an average of 1.1 foreign legal sources per month, approximately two times less than the average of all former judges.
This becomes even more worrisome in the context of the special role that the Chief Justice has on the transnational judicial dialogue and on the global reputation of the Court. The Chief Justice represents the Court in the global arena and is the most important actor in its communications with other foreign courts, judges and transnational institutions. Having lost a highly ‘globalist’ Chief Justice who referred extensively to non-domestic legal sources, one might argue that there is a risk that the SCC may be on the verge of forfeiting its international reputation and influence in the global arena, currently valued by domestic and foreign scholars,78 judges,79 and even domestic politicians.80 As Hirschl elegantly describes the role of the SCC in the global arena, the ‘constitutional thought of every variety is now one of Canada’s main intellectual exports.’81
In fact, from a strictly quantitative perspective, it seems that Wagner, the new Chief Justice of the SCC, refers to non-domestic legal sources 3–4 times less often than Former Chief Justice McLachlin.82 However, it is impossible and even unfair to assess the ‘globalist’ profile of a court, or an individual judge by focusing only on the formal or juridical dialogue occurring through the exchange of legal sources, be it international or comparative. This is indeed only the ‘tip of the iceberg.’ As the last section of this paper clarifies, other forms of extra-judicial transnational judicial interactions and conversations are occurring, which are much more real and dynamic, and are occurring at both institutional and judge-individual levels.
To form a more detailed view of the individual justices’ citation of non-domestic legal sources, their approaches to each of the four forms of non-domestic legal sources were examined. As a general note, it is important to acknowledge that not all current and former justices of the SCC have referred to an extensive variety of all forms of non-domestic legal sources; however, the majority of them have done so. As Table 16 shows, 16 of the 21 justices have cited all four types of non-domestic legal sources. Of the five justices that have not cited all four types of foreign sources, four of them (Justice Iacobucci, Justice Gascon, Justice Brown and Justice Arbour) cited three of the above four non-domestic legal sources (except for international case law). Justice Coté was the only judge to cite only comparative case law and international treaties (omitting international case law and comparative statutes and regulations). It is interesting to note also that of the eight judges who did not cite all forms of non-domestic legal sources, five are current judges.
|JUDGES||Comparative Case Law||International Case Law||Comparative Statutes and Regulations||International Treaties|
4.1. Spectrum of individual judges: from ‘globalist’ to ‘localist’
Finally, with these rankings in mind, the question remains: Is it possible to classify the current and former justices of the SCC based on their approaches towards the citation of non-domestic legal sources? In other words, can we categorize these judges as ‘globalists’ or ‘localists’ based on the data seen here?83
Before attempting any categorization, it is important to note that the goal of this section is to suggest a spectrum based on the amount of citation of non-domestic legal sources, and not to provide clear-cut categories. Yet even this spectrum has its limitations, because assessing how engaged in the transnational network of courts and how ‘globalist’ or ‘localist’ a judge is, constitutes a much more complex task than simply looking at their commitment to non-domestic legal sources. There are various objective factors that do not depend on the judge, but can significantly shape these numbers, including: the type of cases they are given to write, their duration on the Court, their law clerks’ ability to locate relevant non-domestic legal sources, and the role of parties, their counsel, and interveners in introducing such foreign sources. One interviewed judge explains how SCC judges differ in their engagement with non-domestic legal sources, and whether such engagement expresses the ‘globalist’ or ‘localist’ mindset of judges:
There are many reasons for the engagement or non-engagement with non-Canadian legal sources. First, we have to realize that … until last year, it was the Chief Justice who decided which judge was going to write each decision. The nature of the case is key, because, obviously, you cannot involve non-domestic legal sources, foreign or international, in every case. There are only specific cases that have that potential. And if you are not called to write on those decisions, of course you will not appear in the list of judges who referred to such sources. Second, it depends on whether you are with the majority or minority. Third, it depends whether it [the case] comes from Quebec, or another province. That can certainly have an impact on how much a judge is contributing. Fourth, the number of years that judges have served in the Court also plays a role. The longer a judge serves, the more confident is the judge with non-domestic legal sources. Fifth, many references to international or foreign legal sources will be found by the clerks. So, clerks play an important role in presenting these sources to the judge. To sum up, there are many factors that [influence] whether and to what extent a judge engages with non-domestic legal sources.84
Indeed, as the same judge noted: ‘Just looking at the numbers cannot tell you much, because these numbers may misguide you on how a judge perceives the role of foreign legal sources in our decision-making.’85 In addition, the ‘globalist’ or ‘localist’ mindset of a judge cannot be limited simply on the citation of non-domestic legal sources. Indeed, assessing how engaged in the transnational network of courts and how ‘globalist’ or ‘localist’ a judge is, constitutes a much more complex task than just looking at their commitment to non-domestic legal sources. Besides the usage of formal legal tools, judges utilize also extra-judicial mechanism to network and enter into dialogues with their counterparts, such as: face-to-face meetings, judicial associations and organizations, judicial training institutions and electronic networks.86 Judges’ participation in these extrajudicial activities certainly adds to their profile.
In the first group are the top seven justices with the highest averages of citation of non-domestic legal sources per month. They are: Justice Binnie, Justice L’Heureux-Dubé, Justice Iacobucci, Justice Coté, Justice LeBel, Justice Cromwell, and former Chief Justice McLachlin. These justices with high reference of non-domestic legal sources can also be labeled as highly globalist justices. It is interesting to note that in this top group, only two are current justices, former Chief Justice McLachlin and Justice Coté. However, as we mentioned above, although in terms of average of citation per month (in service) Justice Coté appears to be at the first group, she has only cited judgments of foreign courts and international treaties.88 This can certainly question her merits to belong in the first group.
In the second group are the middle seven justices with a medium average of citation of all types of non-domestic legal sources per month. They are: Justice Bastrache, Justice Arbour, Justice Abella, Justice Gonthier, Justice Deschamps, Justice Charron, and Justice Major. These justices with a moderate citation of non-domestic legal sources can also be labeled as moderately globalist justices.89 Once again, it is worthy to mention that in this middle group, only one is current justice (Justice Abella), while the other six are former justices.
Table 17 reveals that the last group is comprised of the seven justices with the lowest average of citation of non-domestic legal sources per month. They are: Justice Brown, Justice Rothstein, Justice Fish, Justice Moldaver, Justice Gascon, Justice Karakatsanis and Justice Wagner. These justices with a low number of citations of non-domestic legal sources, despite the limitations of assessing by these numbers alone mentioned above, may be labeled as localist justices.
Looking at this group, it stands out that the absolute majority (5 out of 7) are current justices of the SCC. Moreover, the three bottom justices with the lowest averages of references are all current justices (Justice Gascon, Justice Karakatsanis and current Chief Justice Wagner). As noted previously, their combined average was 4–5 times lower than the average of the top three justices (all former), which is one of the ways to explain the different approach of the current Court towards the citation of non-domestic legal sources. Such findings seem to be in agreement with some of the existing literature. One researcher who wrote extensively about the globalization of the SCC, in referring to a personal interview with a judge of the SCC, observed rightly that, ‘the interest of the [SCC] judges in international consensus, and in foreign law as such, has faded over the years.’90
5. Instead of a conclusion: is this the judicial slowbalization of the court?
By empirically analyzing all the judgments of the SCC between 2000–2016, I demonstrated that the SCC and its judges extensively engaged with all forms of non-domestic sources, be it international or of foreign nations. The data show that the Court has indeed a global consciousness. However, more detailed numbers indicate that there is a ‘slowbalization,’ or in other words, a decrease of the use of non-domestic sources in the latest year. The reasons for the decline may vary, and may be external and/or internal, however, they are beyond the scope of this paper. Yet, it is worth it to touch some of the main possible explanations of such a judicial slowbalization of the SCC, since they are directly connected with the motives why courts and judges engaged with non-domestic sources in the first place.
The main reasons why judges cite foreign counterparts are pragmatic, such as their desire to learn more, to become better judges, and to more easily resolve difficult cases. With the growth of Canadian jurisprudence, SCC judges have fewer motives to cite from the decisions of their counterparts. Historical context is another important explanation. The cross-citation of case law is quite common, particularly among former colonial powers and their colonies, which explains the high number of citation of British jurisprudence and jurisprudence of other developed Commonwealth countries such as Australia and New Zealand. At the earlier years the intensity of this process was particularly influenced by the colonial and post-colonial legislation, which later diminished. Other reasons for the use of foreign legal sources are based on legal tradition, language, strong ties in economy, culture, education, politics, geography, and of course the reputation of the foreign court. The US Supreme Court is the best example, the influence of which increased across the globe, and became an important point of reference for the SCC, particularly after the Canadian Charter entered into force.91
Overall, the reasons for use or non-use of foreign legal sources are diverse and complex, with relevance in history, legal tradition, politics, economy, culture, language, education, geography and even judicial behaviour.92 Indeed, as the section on individual judges suggest, the extent of use of non-domestic legal sources depends heavily on the judicial behaviour of individual judges, which means, their judicial philosophy, education, knowledge of foreign languages, previous experience, and participation in dialogue with foreign counterparts.
As a matter of fact, the SCC and its judges are increasingly engaged in a genuine conversation with foreign counterparts, the extent of which is far greater than the metaphorical ‘dialogue’ that occurs through the use of formal non-domestic legal sources. Often such interactions establish permanent networks of courts and judges, which provide them with greater opportunities to interact with one another. SCC participates in court-to-court institutional relationships in several forms, including the establishment of regular bilateral relationships with foreign counterparts, joining transnational courts associations and organizations, and hosting occasional visits from different foreign courts. Each of the forms of institutional court-to-court exchanges is essential to the transnational judicial conversation, showing that the Court plays a broader role, venturing outside the legal realm to participate in the diplomatic arena.93
In addition to the court-to-court relationships, there is another very powerful set of mechanisms that helps to bring the SCC’s participation in the transnational judicial conversation to another level, the transnational judicial conversation of individual justices. Judges are increasingly participating in face-to-face meetings with foreign counterparts, joining transnational judicial associations, contributing in transnational judicial training and other legal education institutions, and even establishing and participating in electronic judicial networks. All these forms of interactions, from both Court’s-institutional and individual-judge perspectives, are vital for understanding the different dimension and complexity of transnational judicial dialogue.
To conclude, the ‘globalist’ or ‘localist’ profile of a court cannot be evaluated solely by its engagement with non-domestic legal sources, be they international or comparative. In fact, extra-judicial interacting activities of courts and judges are even more essential for the development of relationships with foreign courts and for building a ‘globalist’ profile. The SCC and its judges certainly understand the importance of these activities, which is why they have been so engaged in them, particularly over the last two decades. The SCC and its justices seem to be highly committed to establishing institutional and individual-judge relationships with foreign and transnational courts and judges from various parts of the globe. Despite the ‘slowbalization’ as the new trend of general globalization,94 if the SCC wishes to maintain a central and high profile in the global network of courts, the Court as an institution and its individual judges must carefully continue to engage not just with non-domestic legal sources of both international and comparative nature, but also in real conversation with their counterparts. The effects of these interactions and dialogue appear to be a significant factor fostering the evolution of the role of judges from interpreters of the law, to policy-makers, and finally to their modern role as diplomats, networkers and crucial actors in foreign relations, roles that certainly cannot continue without debate. | <urn:uuid:ce483385-05c7-4281-b17b-ffaab3712229> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.utrechtlawreview.org/articles/10.36633/ulr.584/print/ | 2020-09-26T17:45:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.924125 | 13,190 |

A new Independent bottler North Star Spirits founded by Iain Croucher has very quickly established itself as a serious player in the crowded indie whisky market.
Iain Croucher is a magician! What he has been able to do with North Star in such a relatively short period of time in terms of appeal and critical acclaim is no mean feat. North Star Spirits is a Glasgow based independent bottler of the finest whiskies, bourbons, gins and rums. Though the focus is more on whisky. All the whiskies released are at cask strength,of natural colour and without any chill-filtering. Not only does Iain pick exceptional casks he also has a keen sense of design. North Star labels are stunning to say the least! Let's face it, packaging matters a little as well. There is decent amount of information on the labels about the contents. North Star is also involved in charitable work. So far all very good. Prior to North Star Iain was the brand ambassador for A.D.Rattray a famous independent whisky company.
"With each series of bottlings, as you say, I make sure there is something for everyone’s taste and budget. It doesn’t have to be a single malt – just unique and delicious; that is paramount"Iain Croucher from an interview to Barleymania.
What I like about North Star is that they have something for everyone's palate and wallet. The latter being a rarity these days with the kind of shameless thuggery inflicted on us by disingenuous marketing for piss poor juice. With the first series released in 2016, North Star has launched a further four up until May this year. Their limited edition Vega blended malt bottling (23yrs/40yrs/41yrs) created such a frenzy in terms of demand the likes of which I haven't seen for a blended malt in recent times. With very limited allotments to retailers, bottles were getting sold out in seconds! So for those of you who have managed to get their hands on the Vega, consider yourselves very very lucky. North Star has also released a fortified wine with a twist, Montilla PX from Spain which was further matured for two years in Islay & Speyside casks.
Already the Vega bottles have started to appear on auction sites. A sad but inevitable destination for all such bottles. For series 005 Iain has introduced a new line of blended scotch called Spica. Aged for 20yrs at cask strength and natural presentation it is was affordably priced at £45. This too has mostly sold out. Will we see older versions of the Spica in the future? Recently Iain posted on Instagram a picture of a dozen unlabelled bottles to be a part of series 006. So watch out for the announcement on their Facebook and Instagram page.
In the next three posts I will review the following North Star whiskies: | <urn:uuid:9fcfc3b0-b49c-4589-b4ec-572bbac2eb3b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.whiskyflu.com/post/north-star-spirits | 2020-09-26T17:30:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.96859 | 599 |
Seven people were feared dead while ten were injured Saturday, in Ogun State, during multiple accidents involving three vehicles on Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway, adjacent the old Tollgate, Ota.
The incident which occurred at about 11.35 pm inward Lagos State involved a cement-laden truck belonging to Dangote Group of Companies, White Colour Space Wagon with number plate APP122CD and Volks Wagen yellow coloured passengers’ with number plate LSR128XP.
However, a mob was said to have set the truck ablaze after the incident. A total of 17 people comprise six male adults, two male children, eight female adults, and one female child. The injured were four male adults and six female adults taken to an Ota General Hospital while the bodies were deposited an IFO General Hospital Morgue in Ogun State.
The Injured victims were rescued to Ota General Hospital, while the corpses of the dead victims were deposited at the IFO General Hospital Morgue in Ogun State. The FRSC is still at the scene managing the incident and has contacted the Fire Service to extinguish the inferno to make rescue operations faster.
Confirming the incident, the Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun State Command Clement Oladele commiserated with the relations of the victims warning road users to always exercise caution at the affected area being a black spot notable for frequent crashes, which has claimed over 40 lives in the last five years.
He called on drivers of articulated vehicles to drive cautiously at the corridor.
The Sector Commander advised passersby to desist from taking laws into their hands by wilfully destroying public properties or accident vehicles, irrespective of the level of provocations, urging them to embrace the best practices of handling and reporting grievances to appropriate law enforcement agencies. Oladele attributed the suspected causes of the incident to overspeeding and mechanical deficiency suspected to be brake failure.
Apart from FRSC, sister security and emergency agencies were involved in the rescue operation. | <urn:uuid:312da122-216e-4e79-9759-c63debb51fc9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.wothappen.com/multiple-accident-claim-seven-lives-ten-injured-along-tollgate-ota-in-ogun-state/ | 2020-09-26T18:48:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400244353.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926165308-20200926195308-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.969221 | 413 |

The Liberals’ plan is doubly unexpected given Rae’s background as an Ontario premier, when he was a consistent voice arguing for the province’s “fair share” at the federal-provincial table. Ontario’s current Liberal government, under Premier Dalton McGuinty, has been a strong advocate of increased seats for the province in the next reshuffle of Commons seats, due to be in place for the 2015 election.
Which is it Mr. Rae? We need more seats?

In September, I teamed up with Meaghan (@Joggerof4) for a 5 day work week veggie challenge. The premise of the challenge was simple: have a fruit and/or veggie with every meal. In addition, we planned to keep track of our grocery costs or cost per meal to reiterate that eating healthy doesn’t have to be expensive! For an added bonus, I wanted to try to remain as plant-based as possible, meaning that I wanted to try not to consume meat as well.
Meaghan and I had similar motivations for pursuing this challenge. For example, we both wanted to show how easy and inexpensive it could be to incorporate healthy foods into your diet. Personally, I also wanted to increase my intentions to move toward a more plant-based diet. Meaghan wanted to urge her family to get involved by encouraging them to think about their choices (and provide plenty of healthy options) throughout the day as she kept a record.
Thoughts during the Veggie Ambitions Challenge
My overwhelming thought during the challenge was “This would be so much easier if you would’ve just meal prepped ahead of time.”
Fact. One of the easiest ways to tackle food challenges such as this one is to do all of the preparatory work ahead of time. That was even the case when I did the Whole 30 at the beginning of the year (you would think I would have learned my lesson). One day of the week, I found myself out late at a back-to-school night and I was absolutely STARVING by the end of it (so thankful that some kids were selling bananas along with their treats or I am convinced that I would’ve imploded). I opted to grab Cava after instead of trying to put together that met the requirements at home. Though it technically added to my grocery budget, I didn’t feel too guilty about the meal because I loaded it with so many veggies (and got falafel as the protein option!). All of this could’ve been avoided if I had remembered to pack a substantial snack for after work. Point being, when something throws a wrench in your plans (i.e your lack of preparation), it is still easy to find healthy options!
Thoughts after the Veggie Ambitions Challenge
The veggie ambitions challenge was a great way to remind me to be more mindful of the things that I am eating throughout the day. Healthy swaps are not as hard or expensive as they seem, it just takes a little more preparation. In addition, it is helpful to just have healthy options that are readily accessible when hunger strikes. For example, Meaghan made sure that she had healthy snack options to get her and her family through carpool after school. Preparing those snacks, instead of relying on junk food, helps create healthy habits and gave her family something to reach for.
One of my favorite things to come out of the challenge was hearing about how Meaghan’s kids began to try to cheat the system haha. No, as much as we would like to say so, potato chips do not count as a vegetable. The next go around of the challenge, we’ll have to extend the length to curb the desire to cheat ;).
Spicy Falafel and Roasted Veggie Naan-wich (pro-tip: Aldi’s garlic naan is AMAZING)
*Don’t forget to check out all the veggie and fruit packed dishes shared by Meghan on her Instagram (@joggerof4)!
My total grocery bill for the week was $24.77, but honestly, it was much cheaper as I still had plenty of ingredients to use into the next week. In addition, apart from some leftover chicken in my soup on day one, all my meals were meatless. I think that having a fruit/veggie with every meal should be more of a rule than a challenge. Mindful eating is essential in giving your body the fuel it needs to take on the day and be the best version of yourself. So, I challenge you, to implement the fruit/veggie RULE into your everyday life. | <urn:uuid:01c4d5f0-1c0f-4cde-b087-c1d0c0f8ddc8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ambitiouslycierra.com/2018/11/15/veggie-ambitions-challenge/ | 2020-09-28T02:34:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.979621 | 857 |

Necessity is the mother of invention. A lot of good ideas are born when someone has a need, can’t find it on the market, so developes it himself. The Survival Mule falls into this category. I hasten to point out that I have not personally tested this item, but it seems like such an interesting idea, I thought you might like to hear about it. Chris Koelzer, the developer, is a 23 year Marine veteran who wanted to solve the problem of both prepper storage, and the ability to bug out quickly if necessary. The Survival Mule was the result.
The Survival Mule is basically a strong vertical storage cabinet that can be quickly converted to a vehicle trailer. The advantage of the vertical locker is that it can store a lot of gear in a space-saving manner. The advantage of the trailer is that you can take this stuff with you quickly if you have to get out of Dodge pronto. It is like having a prepackaged large bug out bag ready to go. The locker itself is made from galvanized steel and has four rollers on the bottom to aid in moving it around in the vertical position. The cabinet has four movable shelves. The concept is modular. There are a number of accessories available including tail lights and wiring harness to make it street legal if your jurisdiction requires. Chris claims that the maximum load is approximately 1600 lbs. He also claims that he has driven it from Minnesota to Montana and back, for a total test trip of 4000 miles.
I e-mailed Chris and asked him about off-road endurance and he replied saying “The rubber torsion half-axles provide independent suspension rated to 2,000 pounds gross weight. The MULE itself is about 400 pounds, so these allow about 1,600 max pounds of cargo. I have loaded it to almost 700 pounds internally, which is the configuration I drove it on a dirt cornfield border road behind the Suburban. Production axles info here: http://www.ucfamerica.com/flexhalf.html”
The cabinet can also be removed from the trailer frame and an appropriate size piece of plywood can make it a flatbed trailer. The wheels come on and off quickly and there is a spare tire mounted on the tongue. The Survival Mule is assembled right here in Minnesota USA of primarily American and Canadian parts. This combination storage locker/trailer seems like a pretty neat idea and you can learn a lot more at the owner’s website. | <urn:uuid:5a883c85-ed13-466b-80fc-0105cfc5f69b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://azweaponcraftprepper.com/2016/03/20/the-survival-mule-a-combination-lockertrailer/ | 2020-09-28T02:10:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.952905 | 517 |
As you grow your construction business and commit to a core set of services and heavy equipment purchases, you can still remain nimble and quick when you choose the right construction attachments.
Construction attachments help maximize the return on your heavy equipment investments by extending their uses for different types of jobs—all with a quick and relatively affordable swap of an attachment. Got a skid steer for grading in the summer but now it’s winter and you need to remove snow? Just change out your Box Blade for a Snow Blower.
If you’re looking to upgrade your fleet with a new attachment, this post will walk you through some key considerations for choosing the right attachment for your job and machine.
What’s Your First Mount?
When you first buy a piece of heavy equipment for construction, it will come with your first attachment for your key service—whether that’s digging, grading, demolition or any other application. This is the job your equipment will spend most of its time doing—and probably why you bought the equipment in the first place.
What’s Your Second Mount?
Think about how you can fill your downtime to avoid parked equipment during the current season and into the next. Is there a complementary service you could offer? For example, demolition with a Cat® Shear and a Mulcher? Or, perhaps you swap from breaking ground with a Hammer in the summer to clearing with a Brushcutter in the fall. Attachments are more versatile than ever making them faster and easier to convert for use across multiple jobs.
Is the Attachment a Match for Your Machine?
Once you’ve identified the attachment you need, it’s time to match your machine to the attachment.
To find the attachment’s tech specs and get a sense of how different brands perform, talk to your local sales specialist, check dealer websites and Google the attachment for reviews. You can also search on YouTube for manufacturer, dealer and even customer videos showcasing the attachments.
Note that attachments are often compatible on competitive machinery, meaning you can mix and match heavy equipment brands with different attachment brands. So, if you have a non-Cat Skid Steer you can still choose a Cat attachment for it (working with your Finning sales specialist to ensure compatibility). This opens up the possibilities when it comes to finding the specs and deal that’s right for your business.
What About Non-Technical Evaluation Criteria?
In addition to the tech specs, you’ll want to evaluate construction attachments based on criteria including:
· Safety: This is a big one for your company, your operators, your customers and even your insurance! Smart attachments often allow the operator to set parameters and limits for safe operation depending on the job and operator skill level.
· Brand reputation: Some brands are known as leaders in certain types of equipment and attachments. Based on your experience and online reviews you should be able to get an idea of brand sentiment. Also, think about where brands manufacture their equipment (in North America or overseas?) and how you want your fleet to look.
· How it feels: That’s right, you can often demo the attachment at the dealer. And, sometimes you might even rent it out for a few jobs to try out your new service offering and related attachment before committing.
How to Choose the Right Attachment Dealer?
With an attachment in mind, work with your local dealer to create the best deal for you. Attachment details to discuss with your dealer include:
· Lead time / availability: When do you need it? Do they have it available?
· Price and financing: How much will it cost you and do they offer any financing, if needed?
· Dealer serviceability: What about maintenance? Will they sharpen blades or fix hydraulics? If replacement parts are needed, where are they located?
A dealer like Finning has sales specialists who are industry experts and can help design the deal that works best for your business, timing, budget and service needs.
Are you trying to choose the right construction attachments to help your construction business grow?
Finning’s sales specialists can help you choose the right attachments for the construction jobs you need to do today—and help you identify attachment conversions to consider for tomorrow.

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) represent an extremely attractive class of potential new targets for therapeutic intervention; however, the shallow extended character of many PPIs can render developing inhibitors against them as exceptionally difficult. Yet this problem can be made tractable by taking advantage of the fact that large interacting surfaces are often characterized by confined “hot spot” regions, where interactions contribute disproportionately to overall binding energies. Peptides afford valuable starting points for developing PPI inhibitors because of their high degrees of functional diversity and conformational adaptability. Unfortunately, contacts afforded by the 20 natural amino acids may be suboptimal and inefficient for accessing both canonical binding interactions and transient “cryptic” binding pockets. Oxime ligation represents a class of biocompatible “click” chemistry that allows the structural diversity of libraries of aldehydes to be rapidly evaluated within the context of a parent oxime-containing peptide platform. Importantly, oxime ligation represents a form of post solid-phase diversification, which provides a facile and empirical means of identifying unanticipated protein–peptide interactions that may substantially increase binding affinities and selectivity. The current review will focus on the authors’ use of peptide ligation to optimize PPI antagonists directed against several targets, including tumor susceptibility gene 101 (Tsg101), protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) and the polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1). This should provide insights that can be broadly directed against an almost unlimited range of physiologically important PPIs.

Autumn Statement 2015 – will SMEs be impacted?
Chancellor George Osborne delivered his much anticipated Autumn Statement this week. There were lots of theories thrown around in the run up to the announcement, but some were extinguished, with plans to cut tax credits scrapped and funding for police being increased rather than the opposite.
For SMEs, there has been a lot of debate on whether the government is truly supporting those who choose to start-up their own business. But did the Autumn Statement include any measures that will impact small businesses?
Here are nine measures that are likely to impact SMEs:
Small business rate relief
Osborne announced that the doubling of the small business rate relief will be extended until April 2017. Over 400,000 of the smallest businesses will continue to benefit from 100% relief from business rates.
The chancellor is still determined to close the north-south divide, so he’s injecting a £400m investment fund in to his Northern Powerhouse plans. This can help SMEs in the north by improving services, skills and infrastructure.
The government plans to create 26 new Enterprise Zones across the country. These range from redeveloping and expanding eight current zones, and forming 15 new ones in smaller town and rural areas. This will mean SMEs who are not situated in the city can still benefit.
The introduction of a new apprenticeship levy is unlikely to impact the majority of SMEs, as it only applies to businesses over £3m. Set at 0.5% of an employer’s wage bill, it comes into power from April 2017, and the government is hoping it will fund an additional three million apprenticeships.
Online tax accounts
An investment of £1.3 billion in to HMRC is planned to help transform it into “one of the most digitally advanced tax administrations in the world”. The aim is to provide all businesses with an online tax account that will be updated quarterly by 2020.
Capital gains tax
Currently, capital gains tax (CGT) is due on the 31st January after a given tax years ends, but due to the plans for online tax accounts, CGT will need to be paid within 30 days of the sale of any residential property. This will come into effect from April 2019.
Start up loans
In a bid to help support SMEs, Osborne made £165m of loans available to new companies.
Company car tax diesel supplement
It’s good news for SMEs who use company cars to transport their goods. It’s been decided that the removal of the diesel supplement from company cars will be delayed to 2021.
Stamp duty land tax
The rates of stamp duty land tax (SDLT) are set to increase on purchases of additional residential properties above £40,000. The rates will be three percentage points about the current rates are will being from 1st April 2016.

Gemini is the positive sign of Mercury, mutable air, the lower neck and shoulders of the Cosmic Man, twins or a couple (a man and a woman). As sign no. 3, it gives an energetic nature with a seeking of change and interchange, motion and invention.
Those in whom the influence of Gemini predominates are often nervous, restless and agitated. They possess quickness and adaptability of body and mind but can exhaust themselves through excessive activity. They have good intellects, along with excellent powers of speech and communication and a good command of language.
They may be writers, journalists or poets, secretaries or computer programmers. They are good with information and statistics and may be scientists. There is a speculative side of their minds, however, and they can pursue ideas for their own sake or get caught up in their own unrealistic fantasies or worries. They usually love knowledge.
Geminis are as mobile in human relationships as they are in mind and tend to marry more than once or have several partners. They may be strongly sexually oriented but must be careful, as their vital energy is not always as high as their imaginations.
They love stimulation and novelty and can get easily addicted to media or computer influences. They like anything that excites their nervous system or increases their velocity in life but thereby they can become hypersensitive or become neurotic.
Their agility of mind may cause them to become deceptive or unreliable and they can be tricky and hard to pin down. They may be indecisive and never bring anything to fruition. They are the most changeable of all types and always on the go, until their energy fails them. Once they come to seek inner knowledge rather than outer knowledge and sensation, they can become quite spiritual, as their energy is the most subtle and volatile of all the signs.

Back in undergrad, a friend told me a story about nuclear power plants.
We were studying in the campus center, next to the cafeteria, when one of the nearby refrigerators switched off its cooling cycle and a powerful silence overwhelmed our little table. She looked up with a wild look in her eyes and smiled at me: “Did you know that’s how alarm systems work in nuclear reactors? It’s not like the movies. Think about it this way: if you were sitting at your Homer Simpson desk, eating a donut, and then sirens start blaring and lights begin flashing all over the place, you wouldn’t react calmly to the situation– you’d PANIC!” She smashed the table with her fist, and laughed, to emphasize her point.
“Instead, there’s a low drone constantly sounding off in the background. When things get hairy, the hum shuts off. This does two things: the first is that you always know when the alarm system is malfunctioning, because it will turn off. In a conventional alarm system, you never know when it doesn’t work until it doesn’t go off when it should– no bueno when you are talking about nuclear fission! The second is that people will calmly react to the situation. Silence, rather than noise, is the prompt to action.”
I’ve never verified her story, but the concept has buried itself in my brain ever since. Most alarms cause panic or distress– I can name some cheery songs I’ve used as morning wake-up tunes, but after a week or two the first few chords will jump-start my heart rate like a shot of adrenaline. It’ll wake you up… like a splash of cold water on the face.
Broadly speaking, a positive alarm is what you are familiar with when you think of an alarm: set it, forget it, then it buzzes to remind you that time is up. A negative alarm is less common, or at least less considered: start the timer, the alarm continues until it stops, then time is up. There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods, but I generally prefer negative alarms because they are far more gentle to the nerves. Consider my favorite negative alarm– the hourglass.
I have been hourglassing for my studies since medical school started. The Esington Glass is a 24min timer that is incredibly sexy and a terribly effective study aide. I gather all of my study materials together, remove all distractions (phone on silent, bathroom break, no extra tabs open), flip the hourglass, then go HAM for the next 24min of fully-focused effort.
While I study, I’ll peek over at the glass to estimate how much time is left or to check if it’s still going. When I look and it’s all done, then I stop where I am (so I can pick up immediately where I left off) and take a delicious 5-10min break. Rinse and repeat, as necessary. Anyone can study for 24min at a time; I find going for the full 50min reduces efficiency through minutes 35-50. It reflects a lesson from working with my father, maintaining the house and landscaping the property– work hard and break often. Pausing before I lose the motivation to continue is essential for maintaining a pace over a long period of time; medical school is most definitely a marathon, not a sprint.
A philosophical negative alarm, rather than a productivity-based one, is the tattoo. I have two pieces on my body, and soon a third: the first one completed after graduating college, and the second before moving down to Tampa for medical school. When discussing tattoos with friends, I often hear, “I’ll never get one because I don’t want to regret it later!” To me, that is the point of putting needle to skin– allowing yourself the room to outgrow your decision.
Each of my tattoos denotes a time in my life when I needed to put words into flesh. Going forward into the unknown future, if I one day look upon these pieces of art and feel like they no longer represent my philosophies or outlook, then I’ll know that I have moved on from that stage of life. These words are my lodestones, my compass, to let me know if and when I have strayed away from that person I once was. That may be a good thing or a bad thing– the desires and fears of a young man in his twenties will be different from an aged and broken body on his deathbed.
Time is a slippery and squishy thing: without a method or a plan to manage the passage of time, I can find myself at the end of a month wondering where the past four weeks went. A life led by positive alarms has all the anxieties of a high-stakes game of red-light green-light, but none of the fun. Negative alarms are a way to roll with time, to be aware of its drip and drop, like a soldier on deployment counting off the days until their return flight home or a student writing a weekly reflection to mark the many changes in life. | <urn:uuid:5c531ac1-2a4c-41a2-8737-a830c5e26183> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://eugeneh.kim/2016/02/07/alarms/ | 2020-09-28T01:50:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.950603 | 1,078 |

I'm new to Opera and I have the same problem as Alexander -- no appearances, preferences, etc. on the menu. I want to set a home page button and add notes, but some of the drop-down menu items that are supposed to be there are not there. Cyxovi's replies don't address this issue. It's not a question of wanting to use a different browser, it's of wanting to access all the features that this one already supposedly has.
I hope someone can provide the answer. | <urn:uuid:f0007313-b2a6-4416-84b1-18e9c0b35077> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://forums.opera.com/user/jinonca/posts | 2020-09-28T02:55:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.969824 | 105 |

Ecommerce Leaders: Yet First, What Exactly Is a Sales Funnel?
Sales funnels (additionally called advertising funnels) are multi-step projects that are developed to relocate possible prospects via your sales procedure, as well as transform them right into purchasers.
Picture a real-life channel. On top, you pour fluid in, which narrows down in the direction of one taken care of location.
In sales, a comparable occasion occurs. On top, visitors reach your site, but not all that get in make it from the various other end as purchasers.
Lots of points have to take place from the moment a visitor enters your funnel, to the moment they do something about it as well as efficiently finish a purchase.
By breaking down the consumer’s trip into smaller steps, you could be a lot more exact regarding how and when you provide an offer to your target market.
The detailed action in a funnel could look something similar to this:
- Unqualified lead comes to touchdown page
- Page connects the very first offer (something totally free to accumulate an e-mail).
- As soon as e-mail is accumulated, primary offer is pitched.
- Lead becomes a paying customer.
- Even more email interaction supplying client worth.
- Further connection structure

ClickFunnels versus Everyone Else.
Many people ask how ClickFunnels compares with various other touchdown web page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and also Infusionsoft.
Essentially it’s not actually a reasonable comparison because each of these devices succeeds is one area or the various other.
The graph over offers a complete analysis – yet I’ll highlight several of the significant contrasts listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Prior to ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the large pet dog.
Leadpages is just a lead capture software application – nothing even more. You can develop touchdown web pages, lead boxes, collect leads … that’s basically it. Additionally, the Leadpages design templates are likewise limited on modification.
ClickFunnels is even more versatile – it’s much easier to use as well as does so much more compared to create lead capture web pages.
Put simply, Leadpages is truly simply a landing page home builder, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around developing highly integrated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a landing page or sales page builder. It has some of that capability developed it, but that’s not what it’s recognized for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that permits you to handle your entire client database. ClickFunnels has this capability with Actionetics, yet it’s not virtually as advanced as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is additionally incredibly pricey and also pressures every brand-new consumer to pay $2000 for a mandatory kickstart training package just to find out the best ways to utilize the complicated system (which is notoriously challenging to make use of).
ClickFunnels Affiliate Program
There are 2 primary paths individuals decrease as ClickFunnels users.
Those that decide to utilize the device for their business – in hopes of eventually attain the Two Comma Club (over $1M in profits).
As well as those that are interested in making passive earnings as a ClickFunnels Associate as well as winning the Dream Auto Competition (where they pay $500/$1000 in the direction of your dream car if you get to 100/200 active monthly signups, specifically).
With a tremendous 40% monthly persisting payment, ClickFunnels easily has among the best affiliate programs of any system around.
That’s right – you earn money a recurring 40% commission on every affiliate signup you make through the ClickFunnels Associate Program. However, exactly what does that actually equate to?
The basic strategy is a $97/month investment and also the Etison Suite plan is a $297/month investment. consequently you make $38.80 each standard plan and also $118.80 each Etison Suite strategy … every month!
Usually, every 100 signups will generate $4000/month in associate commissions (more or less depending on the number of Etison Plan customers are in there).
The Bottom Line
ClickFunnels is hands down the best system if you are wanting to easily construct high converting sales funnels.
Since it was built from scratch to be the most effective sales channel building contractor, it defeats all of the competitors because respect.
Externally, it may not be the most inexpensive product around – but if you use it to its full capacity, your service will certainly come to be much more successful as well as you will conserve money from not needing to utilize various other devices. Ecommerce Leaders

The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a measure that would raise the bar higher for people seeking punitive damages from nursing homes, the Florida Times-Union reports.
One lawmaker lamented the passage of the bill, citing testimony from a woman who told lawmakers about her mother’s sexual assault in a Jacksonville nursing home. Although the family was supposed to be awarded a $750,000 judgment, none of it has been paid. Amendments to the bill passed yesterday make it even more difficult to sue parent companies that are often out-of-state.
Meanwhile, the same committee approved stronger regulations on Assisted-Living Facilities (ALFs), the Florida Current reports.
In other legislative news, a bill that would revive and protect Silver Springs from pollution is stuck, without receiving a hearing, the Tampa Bay Times reports. | <urn:uuid:1c8cecac-b9c4-4b09-a356-c7940793a9e6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://health.wusf.usf.edu/post/protection-nursing-homes-not-springs | 2020-09-28T03:12:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.962534 | 162 |

Moderator: Gigi Gronvall, PhD
Julie Gerberding, PhD, former CDC Director
Jeffrey Smith, Partner, Arnold and Porter
Imagine a never-before-seen virus emerging simultaneous in multiple places on Earth with no warning, no current countermeasures, and no idea as to the origin. Think about the difficulties that leaders could encounter if one of the outbreaks was in a nation with which we had less than desirable relations, but was close enough that it was likely to spread to our shores quickly. What could that mean for effective response or humanitarian assistance and how would we broach that with our own leaders and diplomatically with our international partners? What if the virus was found to have been engineered and intentionally released? Finally, how do we determine the most effective distribution of any countermeasures we might develop?
On January 30th, 2019, The American Society for Microbiology’s Biothreats Conference in Arlington, VA presented a discussion panel on John’s Hopkin’s University’s 2018 Clade X Exercise centered around just these types of questions. A pandemic tabletop exercise hosted by JHU’s Center for Health Security on 15 May 2018, Clade X sought to identify important national policy issues and preparedness challenges that could be solved with sufficient political will and attention. Built on a fictional scenario based on epidemiological principles and challenges identified and unresolved in response to past outbreaks, key takeaways from Clade X were intended to inform senior leaders and decision makers at high levels in the government on how to deal with the potential for future pandemic events.
Clade X was designed to simulate external events in a realistic way, incorporating what could happen if an infectious disease emergency occurred. It simulated a series of NSC-convened meetings of high level officials to advise the president. Conducted in front of a live audience and live streamed on Facebook, exercise players were mostly high level current and former government officials including former congresspersons and senior cabinet staff.
The exercise simulated media inputs, including news videos and live briefings to stimulate discussion and debate. There were 10 major policy challenges identified across several dimensions – none were straightforward, intended to be challenging and requiring comprehensive analysis and thoughtful recommendations to be made to the executive. The panel displayed examples of the simulated news stories broadcast to the players during the exercise, which detailed how the simulated infection began in Frankfurt and Caracas and the initial reports of infection clusters, and how the incident progressed over several months.
Dr. Gigi Gronvall, of the JHU Center for Health Security introduced the exercise parameters: The virus, a novel variant of parainfluenza, cause fatality in about 10% of infected cases. There was no known countermeasures, but the CDC had developed a PCR test by the time the NSC staff began deliberations within the scenario. One initial challenge was whether to limit travel to the US from the countries of origin. Dr. Julie Gerberding, former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, elaborated on how complete closure of the borders was a really difficult and unrealistic measure to take, especially this early and with limited information. Force protection was also a challenge for discussion – could this have been an intentional incident, especially with Soldiers in Germany affected? Mr. Jeffrey Smith, a retired partner and national security attorney from Arnold and Smith, related how the lack of information early presents a significant challenge of its own, especially in terms of the possible attribution or origin of the infection, since many initial reports are erroneous.
Some of the issues brought up with a travel ban included how suspending travel not only violates international agreements, but could represent a significant economic and political problems, even if there was public will for a travel restriction. In the exercise, Venezuela was badly affected by the outbreak, and included a notional request for US assistance – the question arose if the US should provide civilian and DOD medial teams to help in light of the political situation with the country, already in turmoil. Having US personnel assist allows for better information gathering, control of the disease spread, and humanitarian goodwill, but potential security threats to the personnel became a challenge. One of the major insights from this discussion was how the different agencies that would be involved have differing views of the world that can influence their recommendations. Of additional concern was the commitment of personnel in depth to a crisis in a tenuous environment when these same personnel might be required elsewhere in short order. An interesting corollary was the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the US has had to make difficult decisions on sending large numbers of personnel to assist in containing the ebola outbreak occurring there.
The next topic up for debate happened when a case happened inside the United States, at a college with a student who returned from Germany. A discussion of federalizing a state-mandated quarantine (using the National Guard) at the affected college ensued. Some major points included how the world would view the quarantine. Mr. Smith noted the complexity of the problem, offering how opinions can evolve as more information comes to light or more experts weigh in on the issues. The decision was ultimately made not to federalize the quarantine, but it left lingering concerns about the potential for spread from the campus. Next, about a dozen military service members in Afghanistan became ill, not only raising concerns about the potential that the outbreak was other than natural in origin, but also how it could overwhelm in-country medical capabilities and affect military readiness. The question arose whether or not to bring home potentially affected military personnel and to what extent that repatriation would involve a few, some, or all personnel that are or could be possibly affected. This concern also reinforced the need for a rapid diagnostic test to separate out those infected from the healthy.
Further information came to light during the exercise that an extremist organization had taken credit for creating and disseminating the virus to cull the human population. At the next notional NSC conference, it was briefed how the virus had significantly affected the US health care apparatus and many hospitals were now failing to deal with the infected. CDC had encouraged social distancing and telework. Globally, millions had been affected by the six month mark, with high transmission in megacities, and many hospitals turning away patients. A vaccine under development was still 6-9 months away from distribution. One major question here was what method would be used to determine the distribution of limited amounts of the vaccine to the populace, with options based on value to others, age, the most affected, or lottery – this sparked an in-depth debate of how to determine the most effective method to inoculate the public. One gap identified was the issue of continuity of government and how the business of the nation could continue under the scenario conditions – something that had not really been exercised in a large-scale way in the past.
The epilogue of the epidemic at 20 months later, with no effective vaccine until that point, resulted in 150 million deaths, with 15 million fatalities in the US alone, the crash of the stock market, and the collapse of the healthcare system which had to be forcefully nationalized.
What the exercise best represented was a discussion of the major challenges that the nation could face in the event of a major biological event, natural or intentional. What the participants and the larger community of interest gleans from such an exercise is that we have significant gaps that require solutions and that preparedness is critical to early detection and mitigation of a pandemic incident. Senior leaders have tough discussions ahead and even harder decisions and recommendations to make when it comes to biothreats. Having exercises like Clade X are useful in identifying and discussing these challenges. However, the true benefit will only be realized if such engagements result in better structures for addressing a real incident and if the recommendations of these exercises are instituted in a meaningful way throughout the potential players in a future pandemic event. | <urn:uuid:384d3f22-47ab-45cb-9220-77c4cd1258e6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pandorareport.org/2019/02/07/clade-x-discussion-panel/ | 2020-09-28T02:12:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.968773 | 1,603 |
It seems like just the other day I was waking up in the foyer and walking down the long halls, looking to the courtyard, on my way to the breakfast of baguette and jam with hot chocolate. That just yesterday I was in Toulouse, France doing work for His kingdom. That it would be realized in more lives, so that they can enter into the Lords arms and hold on to Him. That because of the strength they?ll have in Him they are able to do amazing things, go to places that people can?t fathom and do works others despise. Mostly I remember the feeling that my Father was in control and guiding me, protecting me.
To say that I didn?t know this was going to happen, or that I didn?t pray for it before hand would be far from true. This house, this city, my high school friends all remind me of whom I was. When they look to me I don?t know what it is they see, that?s not for me to know. However, I do know that they don?t see the change that?s taken place because they aren?t to a point where they can, and it kills me. The memories I have here seem to control me, to make me feel unchanged when I know I am. When I?m here, I know what I?m to do but find the simplest excuses not to. Could I wake up tomorrow being who I am without the ghost of who I was. I?m growing to hate this town, but this isn?t something I can hide from. It?s something that needs to be confronted.
For over five weeks we were doing evangelism in Toulouse where I was constantly going out and battling that which I couldn?t see. Starting conversations and making friends, learning cultural norms and brushing up on my French. I remember it so well, the feeling of approval and comfort I felt from Him.
A large part of it has to do with my focus, when I was in Toulouse there was one thing on our minds, to find stakes (Is. 54:2-3) for the movement that is starting in France (I know that through faith in prayer). Now that I?m back what am I do to, my plate seems so full that my focus gets lost or distorted. I know what I need to do to reach each point in order to accomplish all I must and will, just the broad view of it is overwhelming and just to much. Thinking about all of it leaves me in a state of awe as to how it will all ever get done, forgetting that it isn?t me doing the work. Forgetting that I am merely a vessel for His will and pleasure.
So now I?m fasting, there are a few things that fasting does. It brings in focus, increases your need for God, leaves more time, and the underlying reason is so I will feel worthy of what I am to do and who I am. Andrew Murray put it very well in his book ?With Christ in the School of Prayer? when he wrote that ?Prayer is the one hand with which we grasp the invisible. Fasting is the other hand, the one with which we let go of the visible.? I don?t know how long it will last.
For those of you who this doesn?t make sense to, I?m truly sorry and pray that it will make sense.
May you feel His presence and love, | <urn:uuid:e013952d-f75b-4de8-8003-3e1df6d3b52b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://paulprins.net/archived/personal-whirlwind/ | 2020-09-28T02:27:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.981093 | 718 |

The life of a motor varies in various applications: the working environment, input power and working beat will affect the life of the motor. Even the load connection mode of motor or reduction motor will affect the overall life of the product. Other parameters that should be considered in the estimation of the total life are reverse drive of the reduction motor, hard stop of the motor or the reduction motor, etc. If your application requires a motor or reduction motor to withstand high axial or radial loads, the use of ball bearings can extend the life expectancy. If long life is one of the parameters required by your design, you can consider using our brushless DC motor. The life of a BLDCM is usually limited to the ball bearings used to support the shaft. Our application engineers can discuss with you the problems related to product life and recommend the optimized motor scheme according to the design standard. | <urn:uuid:68752839-789f-41ef-8757-75732b565f0d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://power-motor.com/?Technologies/MotorReducerLife.html | 2020-09-28T01:36:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.861613 | 176 |

Climax a nature in the target swing up minimizing, intraday traders and short-term investors, who offer huge quantities, haven’t any other option but to promote their holdings to minimise their losses.
However, extended-term investors provide an advantage in this particular phase, as they can choose to hold their stocks while there is also a substitute for average their existing stocks and buy new stocks. Remember, the bear market is a perfect chance to get in industry making a strong portfolio.
Market Accumulation Phase (Consolidation)
This phase happens following a markets have hit the bottom along with a couple of value investors think that industry situations is great to buy since the worst is finished. Valuations of stocks are very attractive in this particular phase because the market sentiment remains bearish. Which makes it an ideal time to enter in the market. Inside the accumulation phase, pricing is flat, since the disillusioned sellers start selling because the wise investors have it inside a healthy discount. Due to such turn of occasions, market begins to get.
To acquire through such phases, investors should have persistence and hold their stocks. Giving straight into your impulse of advertising stocks due to continuous consolidation will simply offer you losses. It’s just a phase which passes eventually.
The Bull Market
The bull market means industry is on its upward drift. Industry index goes high and many types of major stocks start soaring. This really is really the phase investors invest for. One factor investors should ensure while coping with this phase is always that it is not a buying period, you’re ready to examine your portfolio and then sell stocks which have showed up in their target cost. With techniques, all the investment, and calculated risks you’re taking because the market was lower takes proper care of if you accomplish this phase. If someone makes the very best choices, you will be handsomely rewarded. | <urn:uuid:2901bc85-d796-4f79-863b-5f4d95296737> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://reimageagency.com/market-moodiness-and-ways-to-make-the-most-of-them/ | 2020-09-28T02:04:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.955892 | 685 |

Cheaper alternative to Keratitis treatment found
Bacterial keratitis, an infection of the cornea often caused by contact lenses, malnutrition, or an injury, can lead to corneal scarring, one of the leading causes of blindness around the globe, according to the World Health Organization. It has blinded more than 400,000 children worldwide.
Antibiotic drops can save a patient's eyesight by effectively treating these infections before the cornea is scarred. But the antibiotic drops are expensive and often unavailable in third-world countries. Dr. Sherwin Isenberg, MD, an LA BioMed researcher, said the lack of access to effective treatments is one of the reasons for higher rates of blindness in the developing world.
Dr. Isenberg has spent nearly three decades studying the use of a low-cost, easily accessible eye drop for preventing and treating eye disease and recently published a new study in the American Journal of Ophthalmology that reports that these drops are just as effective as antibiotics in treating bacterial keratitis.
The researchers found the low-cost eye drops, povidone-iodine 1.25% ophthalmic solution, were as effective for the treatment of bacterial keratitis as two antibiotics, neomycin-polymyxin B-gramicidin and ciprofloxacin 0.3%, in areas of the world where the use of effective topical antibiotics may not be an option.
"In many developing nations, these antibiotics are often used for the successful treatment of bacterial keratitis but they're often too expensive for those patients," said Dr. Isenberg. "Povidone-iodine solutions are available worldwide and can be prepared locally from stock solutions or powders, so these eye drops cost just pennies per treatment."
Dr. Isenberg, Dr. Gary Holland, the late Dr. Leonard Apt, Madeline Del Signore, R.N. and researchers in India and the Philippines randomized 172 patients who had bacterial keratitis infections and treated half with antibiotics and the other half with the povidone-iodine solution. The researchers found the povidone-iodine solution was as successful in curing the infection as were the two antibiotics.
Dr. Isenberg had previously studied the use of povidone-iodine to prevent eye disease in newborns, and found that it was either more effective or as effective as the more expensive treatments. Other studies found the low-cost eye drops were as effective or more effective than antibiotics in treating bacterial and chlamydial conjunctivitis.
The World Health Organization estimates that 285 million people worldwide are blind or visually impaired, and 90% of them live in "low-income settlings. It also estimates that 80% of all visual impairment can be prevented or cured.
"The use of these low-cost eye drops has already saved the sight of thousands of infants by preventing eye infections that could have caused them to go blind," said Dr. Isenberg. "Now we are finding that we can use these same drops to treat infections that can cause blindness. By proving the effectiveness of these treatments, we hope to prevent blindness in millions of children and adults who suffer from eye infections."

My most recent series of work is a collection of digital illustrations called Way’s World. Way’s World is a body of work that reflects me, my thoughts, my observations, and my experiences in the world through my lenses, from memories of the past to now. These illustrations were hand-drawn first then digitally recreated by me on Illustrator. The composition of these illustrations is purposely random, and what I call unconscious—exactly how a memory or thought is. I use bright colors, patterns, 90s aesthetics, and other cool things I like to create a “vibe” and different feeling around the central idea or theme of each drawing. They each have their own story—their own individual aesthetic that’s unique to that observation or experience. This is my story through my eyes.

At last Thursday’s Council meeting (November 6th) it was confirmed that the update of the town’s Housing Strategy would be determined by the Lead Member responsible for Housing. Labour and the Liberal Democrats opposed the decision but the Tories voted through the Minute confirming that the issue would not be debated and voted on by the full Council.
I had sent in a written question for the public question time at the Council meeting. I asked
“Why is the town’s Housing Strategy not being decided by discussion and vote at the full Council? Why has the commitment made in March 2013, to organise a conference on Housing Strategy as part of the consultation process, not been honoured?”
I had asked these questions previously of David Renard by email and at a Cabinet meeting. They weren’t answered then. At the Council the questions remained unanswered for the third time. The Lead Member told us that she had been delegated the power to “sign off the draft after consultation”. This we already knew. Were any “significant issues to be raised, I would recommend that the item be referred back to cabinet.” Since she has power of decision herself, she alone will decide whether or not an issue is “significant”.
Her written reply dredged up a quote from a 1998 government White Paper criticising the old Council committee structure. “At least with the current system, everyone (sic) in Swindon knows I will take the final decision and I can be held to account properly for it.” However, under the Cabinet system she is accountable to them; that is the members of her own party who have accepted the delegation of power to her. She can’t be accountable to the Council if the issue isn’t discussed there.
What about the conference? “The Council continues the commitment to holding a wider event to help develop the 5 year action plan.” In fact this is not a continuation of its commitment but an abandonment of it. We are being told that the Council will organise an event after the Lead Member has decided what the Strategy will be. First the decision and then the discussion! We will be able to discuss how her strategy will be implemented, not whether or not it is capable of tackling the town’s housing crisis. In fact at the Cabinet meeting Emma Faramarzi told us that there would be a ‘consultation day’ held. Yet she did not give any indication that this would be after the end of the consultation.
Even worse than the denial of the right of elected Councillors to debate and vote on Housing Strategy, is the fact that those people affected by the Housing crisis are unable to have an input. Hardly anybody knows about the ‘consultation’. There is no information on the Council website and Housing strategy is not even shown on the list of “current consultations”. You cannot find a notice of the consultation on the Council’s website (admittedly a user unfriendly beast).
The Lead Member Decision Note is being used to avoid a debate on housing strategy. These notes are meant to be a means of delegating power of decision to Lead Members on what the Council’s Constitution describes as ‘day-to-day’ decisions. Clearly Housing Strategy is not a ‘day-to day-decision’. This sets a precedent that whenever the ruling group wants to avoid a public debate it will use the Decision Note as a means of doing so.
Why is the ruling group so fearful of having an open, public debate on the housing crisis? For it to push through a decision to prevent a debate and vote at the full Council appears to be an indication that it is not confident that its strategy will stand up to the light of public scrutiny. It won’t. It’s housing strategy will make the housing crisis worse as we show in our response to the ‘consultation’ (see “Tackling Swindon’s Housing Crisis”).
This decision is a travesty of democracy. It is a reflection of the undemocratic nature of the one party Cabinet system, which operates like a one party state in miniature. The use of a Lead Member Decision Note, which prevents a debate at full Council, sets a precedent. These Notes are used under the powers of delegation which can be handed out by the Leader. However, the Council’s Constitution explains their rationale thus:
“To speed up decision making and allow the Cabinet to concentrate on major matters, the Leader and Cabinet Members have the delegated powers to make day-to-day decisions in relation to the areas within their portfolio.”
Clearly such an important issue as Housing Strategy is not a ‘day-to-day’ issue. The use of a Members Note in this way is designed solely to avoid a debate at the full Council. It is an anti-democratic method which deserves to be challenged. And it will be.

When your device connects to the internet, an IP (Internet Protocol) address is assigned to it. IP addresses are an essential aspect for the internet and they allow the identification of a specific device, with its location and internet service provider.When you are online, the websites you visit and the apps you use are able to see your IP address. Generally, this allows you to enjoy a better online experience, particularly if you are using services that provide information based on your location.
When it comes to applications and websites that don’t require your location to provide accurate information, an IP address is not as important. Since an IP address is usually unique to a particular device, advertiser use them to create profiles for users and to target them with ads that are relevant to their interests. Online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu, use IP addresses to apply geographical blocks that prevent users from certain countries to access their content. Copyright enforcers also rely on IP addresses to find people who have shared or downloaded their content without authorization. They use this information to identify these users and send them settlement letters.
In order to protect your privacy and avoid being tracked by companies, copyright trolls and other parties, it is important to consider hiding or changing your IP address. You can do this with the help of technology such as VPN or Smart DNS. These solutions allow you to mask your IP address and enhance your online privacy. Your internet traffic is sent and received through a middleman, which is generally a server in a different location. The websites and online services that you use will see the IP address of the server, instead of the real one assigned to your device.
Using a VPN to change your IP address
The advantage of using a VPN to change your IP address is that this solution also protects your online traffic from eavesdroppers, hackers and other threats. It is the most secure way to hide your real IP address because all your online traffic is encrypted before it is transmitted to the server. Incoming traffic is routed through the server first and it is encrypted before being sent to the device. The secure tunnel that is established will keep your privacy protected because your data can be read by others.
The most advanced VPN services have their own DNS servers. This is a type of online address book for the internet that links domain names with IP addresses. When you visit a new website, a DNS request is generally sent to a DNS server managed by your ISP, which exposes your location. When a VPN is used, your true location is hidden. There are many VPN providers that have their own VPN clients, which makes the set up process very simple. However, you can also configure the service manually.
There are multiple protocols that can be used when you connect to a VPN, including OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec and PPTP. The latter is widely considered as the most secure and reliable option. As mentioned before, the main advantage of getting a VPN service that has its own software is that the installation process is easy. In addition, you can easily choose the server location and other settings and many of these dedicated clients include additional security features that can improve your online experience.
Most VPN providers use shared IP addresses, which will make it more difficult for others to trace you. Several people use the same IP address, which is regularly changed, which means that it will be practically impossible to identify individual users. It is also possible to opt for a private dedicated IP address, which means that only you would be using it. This IP address doesn’t change and although it is easier to trace back to a specific user, it may be a practical solution for services like online banking. Overall, a VPN is the best option for torrenting since it doesn’t only change your IP address, but it also gives you privacy by encrypting your online traffic.
Using a Smart DNS proxy to disguise your IP address
Smart DNS is also known as DNS proxy and this technology will also allow you to mask your IP address. However, unlike a VPN, smart DNS doesn’t establish an encrypted tunnel to secure your traffic. While this is a disadvantage in terms of security and privacy, the lack of encryption allows users to enjoy faster performance. In order use smart DNS, you will need to set it up manually on most devices. This means that the process takes longer than with a VPN. In spite of this and the fact that the security is not as strong as with a VPN, Smart DNS services are preferred by many due to the speed and because they tend to be cheaper.
HTTP and SOCKS proxies hide IP address
If you are only interested in changing your IP address when browsing the internet and don’t need to disguise it for the rest of your traffic, you can consider an HTTP proxy. This solution is ideal for general web browsing and other activity that doesn’t require a lot of bandwidth. There are many free, as well as paid HTTP proxies available and there is no manual configuration required. You simply go to the proxy’s website and select the location you want to use to disguise your real IP address.
Keep in mind that HTTP proxies don’t hide your DNS requests, which means that they are not as effective as VPNs and Smart DNS when it comes to bypassing geo-blocks. If you want an option that doesn’t only work for web traffic, you can consider SOCK proxies. They work in all ports and apps can be configured independently with this technology in the app’s settings. SOCKS proxies don’t offer the security of a VPN, but at least they can handle more traffic than HTTP.
Preventing IPv6 leaks
There are two kinds of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6. The first type consists of numbers and decimals. IPv6 is the alphanumeric update of IPv4 and it works in the same way, although there are more address available. With the increase of devices connecting to the internet, the number of IPv4 is reducing. IPv6 intends to tackle this issue, but at the moment, the two protocols are in use during the transition process. The majority of VPNs and proxies can hide your IPv4 address without issues, but some are still unable to stop IPv6 leaks. If your IPv6 address is not masked by your VPN or proxy, you can disable IPv6 and make all requests onto IPv4. While it is not the ideal solution, it gets the job done.
Disable IPv6 on Windows
- Disconnect the VPN and exit the app
- Press Windows Key+R to open the Run prompt
- Type “ncpa.cpl” and press Enter to access your Network Connections. Locate the connection you are using, right click on it and select Properties.
- On the Networking or General tab, uncheck the “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) box. Click OK to save the changes and close the window.
- Press Windows Key+R and select Command Prompt (Admin). You will be asked if it is okay for the program to make changes to your computer. Press “Yes”.
- Type ipconfig / flushdns in the command prompt (black window) and press Enter
Disable IPv6 on Mac
- Disconnect the VPN and close the VPN client
- Open the Apple menu and select System Preferences, then Network, AirPort and Advanced
- Click TCP/IP and then click on the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu and select Off
- Click “OK” and “Apply” to enable the changes | <urn:uuid:bc585040-6a4e-4e71-9fe5-8674fe9210a0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://vpncritic.com/how-to-hide-your-ip-address/ | 2020-09-28T02:50:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.947695 | 1,558 |

Survey of 1 PeterBook Type: One of the New Testament's General Epistles; the twenty-first book of the New Testament; the sixtieth book of the Bible.
Author: Simon Peter, known as a leader among the twelve apostles. Though he denied Jesus three times the night He was betrayed, Jesus restored Peter to leadership. Peter was the main speaker at Pentecost (Acts 2), suffered for his faith, and fled Jerusalem after a miraculous escape from Herod around AD 42 (Acts 12). Little is known of his ministry after this time, though he was at the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) and in Antioch with Paul near this time (Galatians 2:11–14). Peter likely ministered among the areas mentioned in the first verse. Tradition notes that Peter died as a martyr under Nero in Rome around AD 65.
Audience: General Epistles are also known as "catholic epistles," meaning they are written to a general audience, rather than to a specific person or church. Peter was written to "those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia" (1 Peter 1:1). These probably included both Gentile and Jewish believers, though Peter's ministry focused primarily on Jews. Peter had probably traveled to at least some of these locations and was now writing to encourage and instruct the believers there who faced various challenges and persecutions.
Date: Tradition teaches that Peter ministered in Rome during the AD 60s. In addition, the theme of suffering is strong, indicating the letter may have been written from Rome under Nero's persecution in AD 64 or 65. Since Peter died during this persecution around AD 65, the letter was written by this time.
Overview: The book's five chapters cover three main themes. The first section focuses on salvation (1 Peter 1:1—2:11). Believers are saved and preserved by God's power (1 Peter 1:3–5). God is with us despite persecution as predicted by past prophets (1 Peter 1:6–12). Believers therefore persevere by hope (1 Peter 1:13–21) through the love and power of Christ (1 Peter 1:22—2:10).
The second section discusses Christian living before others (1 Peter 2:11—4:6). This includes a variety of unbelievers such as governing authorities (1 Peter 2:11–17), masters (1 Peter 2:18–25), and family members (1 Peter 3:1–7). Believers are also called to live well among other believers (1 Peter 3:8–12). Suffering poses much difficulty for believers, yet those who follow Jesus must face it well (1 Peter 3:13—4:6).
The third section discusses the future and how Christians are called to live in light of it (1 Peter 4:7—5:11). Since Jesus could return at any time, believers are to live responsibly, not be surprised at trials, and "entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good" (1 Peter 4:7–19). Leaders are specifically addressed (1 Peter 5:1–4). Peter concludes the letter with exhortations for humility, reminders of God's care, and a call to be cautious of Satan's schemes and stand firm in the faith (1 Peter 5:5–9). Peter emphasizes the future triumph of believers through God's restoration (1 Peter 5:10–11) and ends with final greetings (1 Peter 5:12–14).
Key Verses (ESV):
1 Peter 1:3: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
1 Peter 2:24: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."
1 Peter 5:8–9: "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world." | <urn:uuid:e3319e06-68ed-4076-8357-aa2bacc2d253> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bibleref.com/1-Peter/survey-of-1-Peter.html | 2020-09-28T02:28:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.964523 | 957 |
Quadrupling the speed of broadband in the Gulf region has the potential to contribute an additional 0.6 percent to the nation's GDP, new research has claimed.
The findings are based on research jointly conducted by Ericsson, Arthur D Little and Chalmers University of Technology.
It said quadrupling internet access speeds would add approximately $8.356 billion to the economy.
In the final quarter of last year, operators in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE launched Long-term evolution (LTE) networks, also called 4G.
Earlier this year, Oman's Nawras said testing had started on 4G technology which is able to deliver high speed data downloads including high definition (HD) broadband and mobile TV services.
In Bahrain, 4G is slated to be launched in the first quarter of 2013.
"Broadband has emerged as a significant driver of economic growth even as we continue to evolve from an information society to what we, at Ericsson, call a networked society," said Anders Lindblad, president, Ericsson Region Middle East and North Africa.
"There is no doubt in my mind that broadband, whether mobile or fixed-line, is a vehicle for economic growth, innovation and productivity."
He added: "The government and telecom operators here in the GCC have clearly recognised the importance of broadband and this is reflected in their collective efforts to achieve higher penetration across the region through fixed and mobile broadband solutions."
Mobile subscriptions in the Middle East grew at a rate of 69,230 new connections per day in the first quarter of 2012, according to Ericsson.
Its second Traffic and Market Report said that a total of 6.3 million new connections were added across the region from January to March, taking the total number of subscriptions up to 266.3 million.
According to the study, mobile subscription penetration in the Middle East stood at 96%, compared to 69% in China and 97% in North America. | <urn:uuid:7d8de62c-5583-437b-b196-2eb91efb5bd5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.commsmea.com/12611-faster-broadband-to-deliver-83bn-to-gcc-economy | 2020-09-28T01:18:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.954989 | 396 |

Rapper Desiigner was born and raised in Brooklyn, polishing his vocals at the school and church choirs. His path to the music industry follows in the footsteps of his famed blues musician grandfather, Sidney Selby, showing the music gene perhaps ran in their blood. It the same year that he was shot at only fourteen years old that Desiigner started to pursue rapping, realising that life was short and he needed to embrace what he loved.
Brooklyn to Billboards
Desiigner’s big breakthrough came when he released his debut single ‘Panda’ on Soundcloud in 2015. The track spread like wildfire to great reception and soon appeared on iTunes only five days later. Kanye West recognised the popularity and potential of the single and signed Desiigner to his label Def Jam Recordings, featuring the up and coming artist on two of his tracks as well. West also decided to re-release the single Panda through his label, and the track started racing to number one, hitting the top of the Billboard charts in April 2016 and paving the way for Desiigner’s first full-length mixtape, ‘New English’. Later that same year, Desiigner released the single ‘Tiimmy Turner’ which received a wealth of critical acclaim and ranked at number 44 on Rolling Stone’s ’50 Best Songs of 2016’ list.
Major Collaborations and Awards
With his star firmly on the rise, Desiigner’s appearances on Kanye West records and live performances at shows such as South by Southwest music festival, BET Awards and even featuring at Demi Lovato’s New York concert, has found him in demand in the industry. More recently he has even featured on a remix of global sensations BTS’ song ‘Mic Drop’. Desiigner also released his debut EP L.O.D in May 2018.

More than one in three to vote pro-wind in local elections
Supporting wind farms could help candidates win seats in local elections taking place across England tomorrow, according to new research.
Conducted by polling consultancy ComRes, the research, published today, shows that 34% of voters are more likely to support candidates who are in favour of building wind farms.
Set to coincide with the local elections, which are taking place in 35 areas of England, the research found that in every region more people would vote for a candidate who supported wind farms than would be put off by their support.
In addition, it suggested that all three mainstream parties would benefit from taking a positive stance on wind power.
Among those planning to vote for the Conservatives, 33% said that they are more likely to support a candidate who backs the building of wind farms, while that number rose to 40% of those planning to vote for Labour and 41% of those planning to vote for the Liberal Democrats.
This contrasts with local election candidates who support hydraulic fracturing for shale gas, where only 20% of voters said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who supported the technology and 26% said they would be less likely to do so.
Wind power trade association RenewableUK's CEO Maria McCaffery said: "On the eve of local elections the message is clear - supporting wind farms gains votes. Right across England we saw more people would be motivated to support a local candidate who backed wind farms than those who oppose them - the opposite of what a vocal minority sometimes claims.
"The results of this polling will provide a boost to local politicians to allow them to do what's right for the country - developing our massive renewable energy resources. Whilst we've seen before how popular onshore wind farms are with the general population, this research proves that people carry that conviction to the ballot box, and if politicians speak out in support of wind energy they can reap the benefits."
ComRes also tested voter intentions for the next General Election, finding that most favoured political parties with policies that support wind energy.
According to this research, one-third of voters (31%) are less likely to vote for a political party that is opposed to wind farms, compared with 27% who would be more likely to vote for an anti-wind party. | <urn:uuid:08bdae28-a160-448d-ae6e-dacda1ff7a59> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.edie.net/news/6/More-than-one-in-three-to-vote-pro-wind-in-local-elections-/ | 2020-09-28T03:38:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.971736 | 470 |

Back to school is just around the corner, bringing tight schedules and busy mornings with it. In my house, this means kids fighting for time in the bathroom, and finding my 7 year old’s brush that has gone missing yet again!
Some clever ideas on how to organize your kids’ bathroom could really help everyone get out the door in the morning, on time and with fewer battles.
Traditionally, the second bathroom is a small space and tends to lack suitable storage. The counter space can get messy real quick, so it is especially important to use vertical spaces…the door, the walls of the shower, the mirror, and any nook and cranny you can find!
Let’s assume you have 2-3 children sharing one bathroom and you’re in need of simple solutions to allow the typical grooming to happen without too much drama. How to organize the bathroom? First off, no hair blowers, straighteners, or make-up allowed in this space. There simply isn’t enough space for it all. Instead, give each child a portable “bathroom caddy” to store their toiletries. They can keep either a plastic or mesh version in their rooms when not in use.
Whether toiletry caddies will work for your kids or not, there is still the need to find storage solutions for additional supplies, especially the necessary items to do quick clean ups.
How to Organize the Bathroom – Shower/Bath Supplies: If bottles of shampoo and soap are “spilling” into your tub, use the shower wall space to keep the mess at bay.
- Suction storage baskets are easy to clean, and easy to reposition.
- If you still have little ones, there are tons of mesh hanging bag options for toy storage.
- Power lock hooks work well to hang face cloths on the back of the shower wall to dry.
How to Organize the Bathroom – Towels: On the floor, on the bed, in the tub and sometimes even in the toilet!
- Store a few rolled towels in a bucket or basket on the back of the toilet.
- A wine rack storage system mounted to the wall is the perfect solution for hand and face towels.
- Install a wall of hooks rather than the standard towel racks. Purchase wooden letters at your local craft and have your kids paint their initial.
How to Organize the Bathroom – Teeth Care: Toothpaste drops and splatters on the mirror are inevitable, but finding a vertical space on the wall above the sink can lessen the mess!
- Try suction cup storage to keep paste and brushes clean and off the counter.
How to Organize the Bathroom – Under the Sink:
- Any of the hardware store roll-out organizers create easy to access storage for toilet paper and cleaning supplies.
How to Organize the Bathroom – Grooming: If you have tweens or teens, “primping products” take over every horizontal space imaginable. Besides the personalized caddies, there are other solutions to store these items in this small space.
- Inexpensive flat-backed self adhesive cups that easily mount inside cupboard doors.
- Hang a clear view shoe pocket organizer on the back of the door.
- Use drawer dividers to keep the little things from cluttering your vanity.
- Use a dry erase marker to write grooming reminders for the kids on the bathroom mirror. Smiley faces and I love you’s are nice once in a while too!
Get your kids involved when talking about how to organize the bathroom and adopt one or more of these simple storage solutions before the first week of school. It’s always a good idea to iron out the kinks before the big day! If you want to view my favorite find, check out this image from Better Homes and Gardens.

Fearter rating 2/10 (and 10/10 at the same time)
One of the worst, and simultaneously one of the best, horror movies ever.
Review (no spoilers)
This terrifyingly titled movie is based around a doll... called Robert. Apparently it's based on real life events, which I find hard to believe - based solely on the fact that no-one would call a doll Robert!
What sets this film apart from all the others is how bad it is. It's so bad that I think it's brilliant. Perhaps this was the plan all along and the people behind the movie are geniuses? Alternatively they're not and they have somehow cobbled together a thoroughly entertaining (albeit for the wrong reasons) movie.
My favourite part of the film (don't worry this isn't a spoiler) - is the scene in the bathroom. The camera pans across the room and in the mirror is a ghostly, demonic figure!
Oh, no, wait... it's a member of the crew. There he is, stood there as clear as day, holding a microphone. It's amazing. More films should do this!
The acting is as good as the script allows it to be - which is lacklustre. The interactions between the husband and wife give credit to the old adage that men are from Mars etc. as it seems they have never met before or are even capable of reading basic human emotions (see the scene when the wife comes down the stairs after being scared in the bedroom).
The film's namesake 'Robert' is quite frankly pathetic and is about as scary as a sock puppet. The effects - and I use the term very loosely - that bring Robert to life are beyond basic and laughable. However this just makes me love the film even more.
For me, it's the movie I recommend as the worst and best film horror film I've seen. So bad it's brilliant to watch for a laugh. My only question is, where's the sequel?! | <urn:uuid:c592a185-3828-4f94-bdc0-8619d9575433> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.fearter.com/single-post/2017/11/03/Robert-2015 | 2020-09-28T01:44:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.976615 | 409 |

If I could go into the absolute most common note during or before family sessions, it’s the “I/He/She doesn’t like having her photo taken.” 100%. That and “can you edit that out for me?”… another discussion for another day.
I can totally understand this. I, like a lot of photographers, realize how awkward it can be to have a camera in your face. I for one don’t particularly enjoy it. I force myself to get headshots done now and then, just to remind myself what it’s like to have a camera pointed at you. It’s uncomfortable, makes me nervous, and I try my best to do my part as a subject, but I feel loads better when it’s done with. So that being said… I GET IT! I recently attended Camp Go Away (a retreat for photographers & videographers) where we were given the time, space and resources to just create. To try something we have wanted to but just haven’t. So with that as my goal.. I took a self-portrait. I wanted to try something, to document myself. To show the world how I saw myself. It was scary and uncomfortable, but I LOVE this image.
But here’s where my spiel comes in. Think about your family in say… 10 years. 10000% different than right now, right? Your kids are grown, won’t cuddle with you anymore, and act as though you are the weirdest person ever. I know looking back at my childhood photos, I wish there were more. We are in a time where photos are everywhere. Easy to take, easy to share and easy to forget. Why not be a little more intentional with the photos you do have? Hire a professional who “gets you” and understands what you want out of a photo session. Pick someone who’s style you like, see photos from their website that you want of your family! This is not your time to get everyone stiffly posed and smiling. It’s an opportunity to have an ARTIST show you how they see your family and your love. I use the term ARTIST boldly because I feel like it becomes lost in this field. Photographers take their work seriously, and are picky about what they share with the world… just like a painter, sculptor, dancer, actress etc. I have a unique vision that I long to share with you and your family.
When your significant other brings up hiring an ARTIST to document your family for you and your kids to enjoy for years to come, try not to think about how much you hate getting your photo taken or how “un-photogenic you are” (this is a lie by the way… EVERYONE is photogenic). Think about what these memories mean to your partner, your kids, their kids, your parents, and so on. When I meet people for a session , I don’t see “paying clients”…I see dad’s that are loving and devoted, mom’s that rule the world, and kids that adore them both. And you are my inspiration. I want to show you how the world sees you and more specifically how your family sees you. So don’t worry about your kids running crazy or if they keep sticking their tongue out. Don’t stress about your “natural smile” or trying to show your “good side.” Just be you. You are beautiful and loved, and deserve to have something special to remember that by. | <urn:uuid:59bbb143-e26d-459e-b213-92aa0490b592> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.kinshipphoto.com/2016/12/01/20161129i-dont-like-having-my-photo-taken/ | 2020-09-28T03:37:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.973931 | 753 |

We’re only a month away from Christmas holidays, which means you’re likely stocking up your armoury of volcano projects, beading kits, sand art, and other activities meant to keep your kids’ brains from turning to noggin-mush over the break.
Though you will run out of ideas eventually, at which point you’ll likely plop the kids in front of the TV while you Google “things to do during school holidays”.
I’m becoming more and more on board with the Do Nothing Summer movement, but still, it’d be great if we could slip some learning into television-watching the same way we sneak spinach into mashed potatoes.
A Reddit user once suggested turning on the subtitles when kids watch TV. The parent’s son had become “excellent with his verbal and spelling skills”, and while that may not be directly correlated with seeing words on his screen, the idea has legs. People have long used TV and movie subtitles to help them learn new languages, and since many kid shows repeat the same words over and over, children can become familiar with them even as they zone out to Danger Mouse or Inspector Gadget.
Jim Trelease, author of the 1980s bestseller The Read-Aloud Handbook, gave parents this same advice years ago. For young children, he says parents can leave the sound on so they can see the words they hear. But for older kids, he recommends turning the sound off so they’re forced to read. (At this point, I’m guessing they may decide to go outside and play?) According to Trelease and others, one of the reasons Finland’s children have the highest reading scores is because the country imports a lot of English language TV programs, and they’re all subtitled. | <urn:uuid:5e02778f-432e-4926-9bfd-3ce3d5509b1f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2017/11/turn-on-the-subtitles-when-kids-watch-tv/ | 2020-09-28T03:22:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.95233 | 379 |

Over the summer Rory was out on the farm fields and recorded some amazing footage. We have a team of farmer’s who work 7 days a week looking after our farm land. Daily tasks include feeding the cows organic grass silage that we cut from the farm at the beginning of the year, as well as growing and cutting wheat, barley and oats.
Did you know our farm is run in accordance to Soil Association standards? This means our cows graze over 1,000 acres of organic land for 9 months of the year. In the winter our cows are housed in barns to avoid the harsh weather and you can see in the video our farmers collecting straw bales for the cows to sleep on (just like a mattress!).

I'm tired of having to sell products too!
Hi everyone, I'm Lali!
Financial freedom is a big thing for me.
I never wanted to be stuck in a web of working on someone else's clock, or working hard to fulfill someone else's dream.
I had my own aspirations. I wanted to have my own business that allowed me to set my own hours, and work from wherever I wanted to. I wanted to connect with people while doing that, and I think I've found a way. I didn't have to sell a certain amount of products, or have a certain number of points - I actually learned a valuable skill that I had never seemed to master in the past.
If you've always wanted to know how to trade (but were skeptical or too busy), then I think I might have a solution to fulfill this desire of yours. My company trains & teaches its' members to trade forex (and trade well), as well as allowing them to recruit new members to learn the same thing.
This offer is NOT for you, if:
- You aren't willing to work hard in the beginning, to secure a high return on your investment.
- You aren't looking for financial freedom, and don't want to have the luxury of working whenever (and wherever) you want.
- You aren't willing to invest in your future, and learn a skill that can't be taken away from you.
This offer IS for you if:
- You want to work for yourself, and gain that financial freedom in less than two months.
- You want to work from any of your devices, and have the luxury of setting your own hours.
- You're willing to put in the money to run your own online business.
If you've recently lost your job due to the pandemic, I get it. It's hard. Over 1 BILLION people were negatively impacted by the outbreak of Covid-19, on an international level. There is so much uncertainty with regards to job security, and financial stability.
Why not create a that stability yourself, and not live check-by-check, but on your own terms.
Joining Tradera costs $99 upfront, and that's where all the Forex training begins - you're paying for that highly valuable trading education. If you recruit three people, your next month will be free. After you've recruited three people, you pay $14 to upgrade your account - this is where you start earning residual income.
Having nine people in your teams earns you $500 a month, in passive income - that's excluding all the money you earn from trading! Every month you pay $99 + $14 to stay onboard AFTER you've started earning a passive income.
As your number of team members increase, so does your income!
That's all you need, because they do the rest of the recruiting for you. Your team will start to grow on its' own because your team members also want to start making that residual income too!
Please feel free to do research on Tradera, and see the results for yourself! This company has honestly changed so many people's lives, and there's not much holding you back, so why can't you be the next success story?
If financial freedom is your goal, and you can't wait to start working for yourself send me an email at [email protected] and I'll be in touch as soon as I can!
If you've decided that Tradera is not for you, that's alright - I wish you all the best. | <urn:uuid:b5ecd02e-903d-4785-b15d-9a60deca4956> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mlmgateway.com/announcements/85611621-i39m-tired-of-having-to-sell-products-too.php | 2020-09-28T03:35:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.979928 | 738 |

Archbishop freed in hostage ordeal
Thursday, June 29th 2000, 12:00 am

Captor surrenders after 9-hour standoff at San Antonio diocese offices
SAN ANTONIO – A Central American man apparently concerned about being deported held Catholic Archbishop Patrick Flores hostage for nine hours Wednesday until police negotiators secured his safe release.
Police identified the suspect as Nelson Antonio Escolero, 40, a native of El Salvador. They said the man surrendered after negotiators provided him with faxed documents related to his immigration status.
"We really didn't make any agreements," San Antonio Police Chief Al Philippus said after the incident ended about 7 p.m. Wednesday. "Once he got those documents, he agreed to give up."
Chief Philippus said Archbishop Flores, 70, was not injured during the ordeal but was taken to Christus Santa Rosa Hospital for observation overnight. Officials said he was in good condition and resting comfortably.
"He has some minor back problems, and his back was a little stiff," Chief Philippus said.
Mr. Escolero, who has lived in San Antonio with his wife and three children for 25 years, sought out the bishop because he is "a champion of human-rights issues," Chief Philippus said. "He really had nothing against the archbishop.".
He also praised the archbishop for his composure during the incident. "He never lost his cool. He was very calm," he said.
The chief said the man railed on about a number of personal and national issues and at one time had indicated he wanted to flee to Cuba.
"He was very distraught," the chief said. "He was probably concerned about 20 different issues."
The chief said police agreed to one of his demands: the chance to see documents relating to his immigration status.
In addition to concerns about being unemployed and worries about being unable to care for his family, Mr. Escolero was concerned that two charges of driving with a suspended license might lead to his deportation, the chief said.
Mr. Escolero, also known as Carlos Cruz, had in his possession "a hand grenade-like" object that police later determined was a "hoax" device.
The suspect was taken to police headquarters, where he was charged with two counts of aggravated kidnapping.
"If you abduct someone, and you restrain them – under the use, under the threat of deadly force – then that makes it an aggravated kidnapping, and that's what we're going to charge him with," said Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed.
Chief Phillipus said he went to the hospital to see the archbishop, who he said was in good spirits.
"Right away he wanted to talk about everything that happened today ... he's very tired, obviously," the chief said. "He said he honestly wanted to help this man. That's just the way the archbishop is."
The chief said the suspect made several threats during the standoff.
"He was willing to set an example – make a statement to the world," Chief Philippus said.
During negotiations Mr. Escolero raised his voice and got "very emotional several times."
He speculated that the suspect finally surrendered because police had gained his confidence.
"I think he was tired. He felt confident enough with us that nothing was going to happen to him," the chief said.
Chief Philippus said that Mr. Escolero has a half-dozen convictions, including two for possession of marijuana and one for burglarizing a vehicle. He was twice convicted of driving with a suspended license.
The chief said he was thankful that the incident ended peacefully. "God really came down and smiled upon us and put his arms around us," he said.
The hostage incident stunned many people in San Antonio. Archbishop Flores has been a leading spiritual leader for more than 20 years. He is the nation's first Mexican-American named bishop of the Catholic Church and has become a respected figure in the clerical community.
"Archbishop Flores is one of the prominent leaders in this city who will speak for peace," said Monsignor Terence Nolan, another Catholic leader in San Antonio.
Over the years, the archbishop has spoken out against abortion and the death penalty. Recently, he had encouraged cooperation with the U.S. census.
"I don't know of any concerted effort to do damage to him," Monsignor Nolan said.
Dozens of residents near the chancery gathered during the day in their tree-shaded yards to watch police and media swarm around the area. About a dozen residents conducted a nonstop prayer vigil. Some held pictures of Jesus and rosary beads.
The archdiocese offices are located in a largely residential neighborhood where many people feel they have gotten to know Archbishop Flores since his 1979 installation as head of the Catholic Church in San Antonio. Many call him the "Mariachi Bishop" because of his love of Mexican-American music and dancing. They also respect his humble heritage as the son of a South Texas migrant worker.
Archbishop Flores found himself in a similar situation in Ecuador when he was a bishop in 1976. A group of military officers put him and a group of clerics under house arrest for several days. The group was released unharmed.
Father David Garcia, pastor of San Fernando Cathedral, Archbishop Flores' home church said some Catholic leaders recently voiced concerns about security at the chancery. They said the archbishop's open-door policy made him accessible to anyone. The building's design, with multiple entrances, also reflects that openness, they said.
"It [the building] is opening its arms to everyone  saying, 'You're welcome,'" Father Garcia said.
Wednesday's hostage incident began about 10:15 a.m. as Archbishop Flores entered his offices. Witnesses said Mr. Escolero and a younger man approached the archbishop in the parking lot. They said Mr. Escolero insisted that he needed help with a passport problem.
He and the archbishop, speaking in Spanish, entered the building as the younger man ran away. They went to Archbishop Flores' office and attracted the attention of Myrtle Sanchez, the archbishop's longtime secretary, police said.
She was held against her will there for more than two hours.
Ms. Sanchez said the suspect held an object in his hand and used it in a threatening manner. Police said Ms. Sanchez was released shortly after noon Wednesday. She was not hurt.
Father Fred Sackett, who was in the chancery when the incident began, said he had been told that the suspect had come to the Catholic offices with one of his sons. He said witnesses in the office building told him that the son "ran away" and fled in a car after his father took Archbishop Flores hostage.
Father Sackett also said he had been told that some church employees had seen the archbishop on his office floor after he became a hostage. Earlier reports, unconfirmed by police, said the archbishop had been shoved to the floor during the incident.
Monsignor Lawrence Stuebben, vicar general for the archdiocese of San Antonio, said that during the long hours holed up in the archbishop's third-floor office, the suspect made a series of telephone calls to the FBI and officials in Washington to complain of his treatment in the United States.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Predatory lending schemes are targeting thousands of veterans with Veterans Administration (VA) mortgages.
According to VA loan giant Ginnie Mae, the scams aim to convince borrowers to repeatedly refinance. They often prompt homeowners to switch from a long-term, fixed-rate mortgage to a riskier short-term, adjustable-rate loan.
The borrowers later find that the principal amount owed to the lender has increased by thousands of dollars.
Some lenders also are being accused of using teaser interest rates, “cash out” windfalls, and lower monthly payments. They also use marketing materials that sometimes resemble Department of Defense information.
The VA warned that lenders who make “improper charges or fees” that lead to foreclosure will face stiff penalties. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau plans to fine and sue offending lenders.

So my growing obsession with Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love is starting to gain steam and this might hit runaway train status faster than any drama in my watching-blogging history. I need to slow myself down before I get my heart broken in the off chance the show starts sucking. I do have a tiny bit of comfort knowing its adapted from the same-name novel, though I’ve heard on DC that the drama is veering materially from the novel because the screenwriter wants to take liberties with the individual details while keeping the construct intact. So far its working for me since I haven’t read the novel. I’m playing catch up these days with the drama since I was barely interested in it prior to watching so I didn’t pay much attention to the promotional material. Normally I translate character descriptions, plot synopsis, etc. to add more color to a drama but I went into JOJ as clueless as everyone else. Now that all the characters have won my heart (seriously, the way Prince Dongpyung calls her “Ok Jung-ah” makes my heart feel squishy, the way Lee Soon holds his daddy King’s hand sends me sobbing in the corner of my consciousness), I need a bit of knowledge of what to expect so that I’m prepared for it. I was only able to come out of Bu Bu Jing Xin alive (and barely that) because I read the novel and knew what type of rocks-fall-down ending was in store. And still nothing prepared me for watching it onscreen. I needed an IV drop by the end of that show I was so dehydrated. Will JOJ have the same effect on me? I’ve translated the complete main character descriptions below and my answer is yes. This drama looks like the second coming of BBJX in terms of feels (plot is totally different). The character descriptions give a lot of plot away so don’t read if you want to be spoiled. Some stuff I expected, others really threw me for a loop, but the most intriguing bit that was revealed is how similar in political love and power trajectory Lee Soon will take as King Sukjong compared to how 4th Prince evolved into Emperor Yongzheng in BBJX. Same ruthlessness, same all-encompassing love for one woman. This is so not going to end well, is it?
Jang Ok Jung (Jang Heebin)
Born from the lowest class in the rigid hierarchal society of Joseon, yet she became the one and only true love of Lee Soon, the highest ranking man in Josen. She became the King’s political partner and Joseon’s top fashion designer. She endured the powerful attacks from the Soron faction but remained proud and true, a woman with great charisma.
Her touching story is not because she is Jang Heebin, but because it is the story of Jang Ok Jung the woman. Her father was a merchant class and her mother the slave of the Jo household, a distant relative. She was born a lowest class citizen. Despite her low birth, her natural talent in fashion design and an extraordinary victor’s aura, on top of all of that her fated love with the highest man in Joseon Lee Soon, all of that led to her transforming her lowly birth and going from a seamstress in the Palace to the root of the greatest turmoil to sweep through Joseon politics.
From the lowest birth to the highest woman in all of Joseon, she sat in the position of the mother of the country. With her man, the King of Joseon, they had a love story that was unforgettable and intense. But her impressive and eventful life will lead her towards the cruel fate that awaits her…..
Lee Soon (King Sukjong)
The ruler who holds the Kingly power with strength, Joseon’s most absolute and powerful ruler. For his Joseon kingdom to have peace and stability, he is the cruel man who will kill with his own hands the only woman he ever loved in his life! He will sit alone on the King’s throne, a lifetime of sorrow and loneliness, that is his fate.
“The age of absolute royal power! The King is the nation!” He has the same ruling philosophy as Lois XIV, he is the 19th King of Joseon Lee Soon. He ascended the throne at the age of fourteen and immediately could match wits with the ministers. Enduring countless political attacks made him into a seasoned, intelligent, and ruthless warrior. “No minister can challenge the King’s authority.” Lee Soon’s life seemed to be fated to kill. Because his ministers time and again challenged his position and plotted against him, Lee Soon had no choice but to face this bloody reality.
But Lee Soon’s heart is filled with the infinite loneliness of a man facing the fate of a King. In this icy cold heart, there was one woman who walked in. She crossed the sharp ragged barriers of their class difference, using her own talent to illuminate the world, she was a woman named Jang Ok Jung. But…a King’s love will severely shake up the power play in government. Ok Jung’s background is from Noron faction, the party that opposes the currently in power Soron faction. Lee Soon realizes that he must proactively protect his love……….
Hyun Chi Soo
To bring back Ok Jung, he has come back to Joseon from the depths of hell and become the richest merchant in the nation. His entire life is devoted to shedding blood to bring back the Ok Jung that was before. He bleeds until the very end, when he loudly and proudly proclaims to the King “For your insignificant power, you threw her away. But I can throw everything away just for her!”
In Jang Ok Jung’s theatrical life, this man existed and was her first love. He was almost drowned by Jang Hyun who said “You bastard, if you cannot have more wealth than the top merchant of Joseon that is me, and more power than the King of Joseon, then don’t even dream about having Ok Jung.” After he survived and settled in the Qing dynasty, to Chi Soo who got a second chance at life, Jang Hyun’s mockery was like the nails of death, it was his motivation to succeed.
So Chi Soo’s dream was to take everything away from Lee Soon! But the depths of the Palace is like an ocean, and Ok Jung is so far from his reach. He cannot hope to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Lee Soon, the King of Joseon. He cannot tightly hold on to his most precious Ok Jung. Lee Soon uses his power to push Chi Soo to the end of the road. For his own revenge, to save his Ok Jung, in the end he pays the price with everything. Because to keep in his heart the King’s woman was the original sin.
Min In Hyun (Queen In Hyun)
The second Queen of King Sukjong, the choice of a political marriage, born in the most illustrious noble family in Joseon, Her incredible pride makes her the fated rival to Jang Ok Jung. Though she is jealous of Ok Jung, her ultimate motivation is preserving her family honor and esteem. A woman born and raised to be Queen: money, prestige, power, she has it all and eventually she sits in the position of the Queen of the entire nation. The only thing she cannot have is the love of a man to a woman. Because of this, she cannot give up the image in the hearts of the nation’s citizens of her as the “kind mother of the nation”. This is only thing she clings onto to support her to keep walking forward.
In the deep recesses of her heart, she had the same hope for life as Ok Jung. To be like an ordinary woman, to be loved and cherished by her husband, the life that Ok Jung has. But compared to the temporary light of a firework, she would rather have the steady illumination of the moonlight. This is how she chooses to leave her mark, and this is the goal of her life. For this, no matter using what tactics, what methods, she will never show her hand. For her final wish, she would endure in the background so thoroughly that even her toenails are hidden away. Only then can she achieve her wish, to become the final victor who remains in the history books.
Born in the royal family, but he has never once coveted what belonged to others. A beautiful and pure soul. He keeps deep inside his heart a love that is more precious to him than his life. He can only watch from the sidelines as his dearest friend pushes his most beloved woman to the end of her road.
As a member of the royal family, his existence is to balance out Lee Soon. Diametrically opposite of Lee Soon, he is an upstanding and righteous young man. He is the only confidant of Lee Soon in a political whirlpool. He is always joking and appears not to care about the desires of the world. But that is his fate being born into the royal family, and his only way to survive.
Even his love for Ok Jung is the same – he helps Ok Jung secretly and protects her. Once he knows that she is Lee Soon’s woman, he hides his feelings for her. But he patiently and enduringly watches over this woman that he loves beyond all else. He thinks it is happiness just to be able to see Ok Jung. A simple but beautiful man.
But in the end, he cannot escape the cruel fate that puts the poison in his hand. He cannot endure having someone else do it, but he cannot bring himself to end her life……..
Dong Yi (Choi Sukbin)
She is as beautiful as Ok Jung, and just as bright and smart. But she is not as innocent as she seems, in truth she is a very calculating and impressive personage. She reads men’s likes and needs very astutely. She was a maid and the right hand woman to Queen In Hyun. She is the origin of all the danger that comes towards Ok Jung. | <urn:uuid:4a10e1fa-5209-44ec-9c8b-d015bd0c7b80> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://koalasplayground.com/2013/04/17/complete-character-descriptions-for-jang-ok-jung-live-in-love/ | 2020-09-29T10:57:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.976966 | 2,145 |

My first Apple computer was a IIc in 1985 . Work dictated I use a PC until my retirement in 1995. I currently have a 24" iMac and just sold my MacBook ( lack of use - too heavy to lug around on a daily basis ) and plan on buying an iPad once I decide on a model. I spent sometime today at BestBuy in Pensacola using the iPads on display. One of the things I have learned over the years of Apple / Mac ownership as they hold their value when it comes to upgrade and sell the older model ( having a 3 year AppleCare coverage sure makes it easy to sell your old Apple / Mac ). Hence, I am looking at a 32GB 3G model. Not that I will use 3G that much but it's a definite plus when it comes time to upgrade. I am sure this forum will be a daily visit from me for a long time.

Cysticercosis refers to tissue infection after exposure to eggs of Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm. The disease is spread via the fecal-oral route through contaminated food and water, and is primarily a food borne disease. After ingestion the eggs pass through the lumen of the intestine into the tissues and migrate preferentially to the brain and muscles. There they form cysts that can persist for years. In some cases the cysts will eventually cause an inflammatory reaction presenting as painful nodules in the muscles and seizures when the cysts are located in the brain. Symptomatic disease from Taenia solium cysts in the brain is referred to as neurocysticercosis and is the most common tapeworm infection of the brain worldwide. Cysticercosis should be differentiated from taeniasis: carriage of the adult tapeworm in the intestine (which is through ingestion of cysts in an intermediate host, not the ingestion of the eggs as in cysticercosis). These represent two different stages of the parasite’s life cycle. Though both forms of infection can potentially occur in the same individual at the same time, they are distinct disease entities and have different treatments and potential outcomes.Source: Wikipedia
Within all the people who go to their doctor with cysticercosis, 90% report having seizures, 87% report having headache, and 43% report having abnormal involuntary movements. The symptoms that are highly suggestive of cysticercosis are seizures, abnormal involuntary movements, elbow cramps or spasms, elbow weakness, excessive growth, underweight, low back weakness, wrist weakness, and feeling hot and cold, although you may still have cysticercosis without those symptoms.
Patients with cysticercosis often receive radiographic imaging procedure, hematologic tests, complete blood count, x-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, glucose measurement, cat scan of head and depression screen .
The most commonly prescribed drugs for patients with cysticercosis include phenytoin (dilantin), levetiracetam (keppra), calcium carbonate, metoclopramide, albendazole, desipramine, magnesium sulfate, nortriptyline, carbamazepine, folic acid, chlorpheniramine / phenindamine / phenylpropanolamine, mecamylamine and grepafloxacin (raxar) .
Groups of people at highest risk for cysticercosis include age 30-44 years, race/ethnicity = hispanic and age 15-29 years. On the other hand, age 75+ years, age 5-14 years, race/ethnicity = black, and race/ethnicity = white almost never get cysticercosis. | <urn:uuid:92de5545-2d3a-4760-8ab4-265bf2c5c728> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.symcat.com/conditions/cysticercosis | 2020-09-29T09:56:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.908336 | 572 |
Portugal seems to be a popular destination for British holidaymakers this year. Though the Algarve promises year round sunshine and Porto has an ‘underdog’ excitement about it, no-one can deny the historic charm of Lisbon. When I first stayed in Lisbon, on a whim a few years ago, I was surprised and delighted by the easy-going atmosphere, lovely people and abundance of unassuming food and art gems to discover. For this trip I revisited many of my favourite places and uncovered a few more local Portuguese institutions.
Belcanto – you will be dreaming of José Avillez’s imaginative creations long after you’ve left his restaurant. This meticulous two Michelin star restaurant serves up gastronomic delights that taste just as good as they look. My favourite dish was the Tangerine dessert, a mix of subtle contrasting flavours and textures.
Taberna da rua das flores – for authentic Portuguese fare in a humble and charming environment, head to this tiny 25-seat restaurant in Chiado. The venue used to be a barbershop and now serves reasonably priced, delicious plates of food from a daily-changing menu.
Eleven – this fine-dining restaurant has a smart and airy feel, and is a popular choice with businessmen working nearby. The menu offers elaborate and beautiful dishes with a focus on seafood. Enjoy a special lunch while admiring the scenic views of the surrounding park.
Manteigaria – recognised as one of Lisbon’s top custard tart makers, Manteigaria is found in an old butter shop behind an Art Deco facade in the Chiado district. Every 40 minutes a bell is rung to let locals know that a new batch of tarts has just come out of the oven.
Bistro 100 Maneiras – this contemporary restaurant presents tasty Portuguese food in a relaxed environment. The perfect place to slump for lunch after a morning of walking up Lisbon’s steep hills.
Pastéis de Belém – an institution which undoubtably makes the best Pastéis de Nata in Lisbon. The family’s recipe is top secret and their tarts remain the flakiest and creamiest in town. Sit inside rather than queueing for takeaway and order a strong coffee to accompany your tart.
Copenhagen coffee lab – the speciality coffee scene in Lisbon is just beginning. The design-centric Copenhagen coffee lab is leading the trend, I visited this modern cafe for a fab flat white.
Memmo Alfama – concealed within the ancient walls of the Alfama district is Lisbon’s most popular design hotel, Memmo Alfama. Head up to the rooftop bar for a cocktail and the best views in town.
A Luz Ideal – A little out of town, this stylish café looks like its straight out of a Wes Anderson film. Sip a coffee in the light-filled room and pick from the traditional Portuguese snacks.
The Independente – This is quite possibly Europe’s coolest hostel. Enjoy the vintage bohemian haven with a glass of Portuguese wine or head up to their new secret rooftop bar and restaurant, The Insólito, for a cocktail with a panoramic view of the city.
A Ginjinha – join the locals as they queue in the streets for a shot of cherry liqueur.
Tuktuk Tejo – tuktuks are a popular trend in Lisbon, a nippy way to navigate the old narrow streets of the city. Organise a trip with Tuktuk Tejo who offer guided tours of different districts. The vehicles are all electric and the guides are friendly and extremely knowledgable. We loved our tour round the Belém area and learnt a huge amount about Lisbon’s history and culture.
Gulbenkian – this meticulously curated museum exhibits a thoughtful collection of ancient and modern art.
LXFactory – once a threads and fabrics factory, LXFactory has found a creative home in this industrial part of town. Wander round the impressive Ler Devagar book shop and stop by Landeau Chocolate for the best chocolate cake you will ever taste.
Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga – I was surprised to find this museum of ancient art very empty. Housed in a former palace, the collection includes paintings, sculptures, textiles, drawings and other decorative art forms from the Middle Ages to the early 19th century.
Hospital de Bonecas – for just 2 euros you can take a peek at Lisbon’s unique doll hospital which houses broken toys from over the ages. Each doll is seen by a doctor before being mended and returned to its loving owner.
Jerónimos Monastery – after sampling the area’s renowned custard tarts, visit this amazing cathedral which is a perfect example of late gothic architecture.
Old tram ride – the old trams are one of the most familiar symbols of Lisbon’s old town. They are not the cheapest way to travel but they are certainly the most romantic. Take route 28 up to see the most beautiful part of town.
A Vida Portuguesa – this much-loved emporium stocks an impressive range of Portuguese brands and products, from Alantoíne hand cream to Bordallo Pinheiro porcelain. The shop itself is as lovely as the items they sell.
Conserveira de Lisboa – you may not be a fan of tinned fish but it’s difficult not to fall in love with the charming vintage packaging at this store. Hundreds of coloured tins line the shelves; the perfect retro souvenir to remind you of Lisbon.
Luvaria Ulisses – there are a lot of historic places to shop in Lisbon but this little glove shop (which opened in 1925) has to be the most special. Tucked between the superstores of Rua do Carmo, it looks like a fairytale shopfront, with windows filled with coloured leather gloves. There is only room for one customer at a time so you will always have the assistant’s undivided attention.
Embaixada – a concept store of dreams. This amazing building houses a variety of independent local brands and food and drink outlets. Don’t miss the ethereal murals which decorate the grand staircase.
Feira da Ladra – the steep tram ride is worth the scare for the famous flea market at the top. Wander round the sun drenched cobbled streets and rummage for a bargain.
Caza das Vellas Loreto – this gorgeous wood-panelled shop has been making and selling wonderful candles since 1789. Buy some of the beeswax varieties or pick up one of the mock fruit candles.
Sintra – this magnificent UNESCO world heritage town is just 30 minutes drive from central Lisbon, and is well worth visiting for a cultural day trip. First visit the spectacular Palácio Nacional da Pena palace before heading back down to the village to Piriquita for a travesseiros (traditional almond pastry).
Many thanks to the Lisbon tourist board for providing Lisboa cards for the trip. These cards are a passport to the city offering free public transport and valuable discounts on top tourist sites.

Installed in the new Ballroom, formerly the original stables of the Château, these stunning chandeliers are as captivating as they are luminary. Scale is somewhat indiscernible in the photo — but imagining three small Bugattis installed on end will give you a sense of the enormous proportion of this space.
It takes a strong wall treatment to not get lost against the trove of antiques in this room.
In fact, the green walls with their floral motif help unify the disparate assortment of furnishings from different eras and provenances.

Some software isn't effective because it proves unable to prevent the propagation of worms, but this guide examines where security holes come from, how to discover them, how to protect systems, and how to do away with security holes altogether.
How hackers, viruses, and worms attack computers from the Internet and exploit security holes in software is explained in this outline of antivirus software, patches, and firewalls that try in vain to withstand the storm of attacks. Some software's effectiveness exists only in the imaginations of its developers because they prove unable to prevent the propagation of worms, but this guide examines where security holes come from, how to discover them, how to protect systems (both Windows and Unix), and how to do away with security holes altogether. Unpublished advanced exploits and techniques in both C and Assembly languages are included.
We are living in a harsh and cruel world. Popular software that runs on millions of machines all over the world contains security holes, most of which are critical. Hackers, viruses and worms actively exploit these holes, attacking from all corners of the Net. The vast majority of remote attacks are carried out by exploiting buffer overflow, the particular case of which is stack overflow. Those who have mastered the techniques of exploiting buffer overflow errors rule the world. If you need a guide to navigate the world of buffers subject to overflow supplied with the detailed survival guide, then this book is for you. Just open the door and enter the wonderful world hidden behind the facade of programming in high-level programming languages. This is where the gears that set everything else in motion are working.
Why are overflow errors so fundamental? What can you do using them? How do you find a vulnerable buffer? What limitations do such buffers imply on the shellcode? How do you overcome these limitations? What tools should you use to compile shellcode? How do you send this code to remote host yet remain unnoticed? How do you bypass a firewall? How do you detect and analyze shell-code written by someone else? And how do you protect your programs against overflow errors?
That the antiviral industry is a kind of a club for a limited community is not a secret to anyone. This community is closed and is not too willing to accept new members. It owns information intended for insiders only. This is partially because of security considerations, but this is also due to the pernicious effects of competition. This book partially discloses the secrets.

‘If Israel is smart, tunnels will become a Hamas graveyard’
Likud MK and ex-Shin Bet chief Avi Dichter believes that Hamas’ tunnels under the Israel-Gaza Strip border could turn from an asset into a liability for the terrorist group.
Dichter said, “With wise actions, the defense establishment in general and the IDF in particular will be able to turn the tunnels in Gaza into the largest Hamas cemetery of all time. That is how I see things.”
Dichter went on to say that the threat posed by Hamas tunnels could be “turned into an opportunity” if the Israeli military properly uses the lessons it has learned from subterranean combat.
“We can turn lemons into lemonade,” Dichter said.
Meanwhile, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said on Friday that his group had uncovered underground cameras and sensors that were meant to monitor Hamas’ tunnel construction efforts. | <urn:uuid:f07c34a0-89f3-4a06-af67-31ff86422cd2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://btnews.online/archives/32033/if-israel-is-smart-tunnels-will-become-a-hamas-graveyard/ | 2020-09-29T10:50:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.959542 | 201 |
