Is there a way to display a column total when viewing a report?
Specifically, we are wanting to run reports on contribution line items and quickly see the contribution line item total.
When you do Find Contributions, it displays the total, # completed, and average. Due to how we have our data set up, we need to use the line item report to view all of our donations; we can't use Find Contributions. I'm looking for a way for staff to quickly see donation totals from those line item reports.
Interestingly, if you run a line item report (http://example.com/civicrm/report/price/lineitem) and you don't have any sort criteria, it will display a total at the bottom, but if you enable sorting, that total goes away.

A well-balanced organic dog food can provide numerous health benefits not afforded by standard brands of canine food. The key to finding a proper organic food for your pet is to ensure that it meets all of his nutritional needs.
Standard dog foods are strictly regulated for ingredient content and nutritional elements by the FDA, but some organic foods are not. Regardless of the quality of ingredients in your dog`s food, if his basic nutritional needs are not met, he will not be healthy. Fortunately, most organic dog foods are of high quality and meet all of the needs that your dog`s body has. The following are some of the features of an organic dog food.
Reduction of Allergies
Many dogs suffer from food allergies or sensitivity. Your dog`s body may react negatively to a particular ingredient in his food, resulting in skin irritation, rashes, redness and more negative symptoms. Organic dog foods are typically constructed from a different set of ingredients than regular dog foods, and they contain fewer preservatives and additives. As a result, pets that are allergic to standard foods may find relief from their allergies with organic ones. Before you attempt to switch your dog`s standard food to an organic diet, however, it is important that you determine as best you can which allergen or ingredient he is sensitive to. This can be accomplished with the help of a veterinarian.
Organic dog foods contain fewer chemicals and extra ingredients. Coloring agents, thickeners and other additives can be difficult for your dog`s body to digest, and they often end up slowing his digestive system down and adding to his weight. Organic foods, on the other hand, are easy to process and will help to keep your pet`s digestive tract operating on a regular and healthy schedule.
Protection Against Diseases
Organic dog foods additionally contain ingredients that are natural protectors against a variety of diseases and conditions. By consuming these foods, your pet effectively adds a health supplement or natural preventative measure to his diet. Dogs that eat organic diets may be less likely to develop cancers, respiratory problems and a number of other diseases as well.
Weight Loss and Stability
If you feed your pet organic dog food in moderation and according to his weight and size, you may find that any preexisting overweight or obesity problems become diminished. This feature of organic dog foods is dependant upon his other eating and his levels of exercise, but organic foods contain healthier nutritional profiles than their standard food counterparts, delivering high levels of energy and nutrition without excess calories.
Before switching your pet`s food type, it is important that you work with a veterinarian to determine his overall health. There are many types of foods available to dogs either suffering from or predisposed to certain diseases. Additionally, many brands of standard and organic food have developed special formulas for dogs of certain ages or breeds, and these can help to give your pet the best nutritional package for his particular system. | <urn:uuid:4a2522a2-4401-4621-a898-ed3b917a5a59> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dogsguru.ru/other-2/5144-features-of-organic-dog-food.html | 2020-09-29T10:37:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.959595 | 595 |

"This book explains 5-axis machining in simple terms most people in the field will appreciate and quickly understand. The colorful graphics are nothing short of amazing and generously sprinkled throughout the book with incredible detail. Dozens of machining applications are illustrated and explained while taking much of the fear out of driving these complex machine tools.

Mark Summers, President
CNC Software Inc.

Yavuz Murtezaoglu, Managing Director
Before Secrets of 5-Axis Machining, the best way to get information on 5-axis machining has been by talking to experienced peers in the industry in hope that they will share what they've learned. Visiting industrial tradeshows and talking to machine tool and CAD/CAM vendors is another option, only these people will all give you their point of view and will undoubtedly promote their machine or solution.
Secrets of 5-Axis Machining presents unbiased, no-nonsense, to-the-point descriptions of 5-axis machining information that was gathered during the author's 30 years of hands-on experience in the manufacturing industry, bridging countries and continents, multiple languages - both human and G-Code. As the only book of its kind, Karlo Apro's text demystifies the subject and brings it within the reach of anyone who is interested in using this technology to its full potential. It is not specific to one particular CAD/CAM system. And it empowers readers to confidently enter this field, and by doing so, become better equipped to compete in the global market.

Camera Raw/Lightroom: Move the Dehaze slider near the Clarity slider (in Basic Panel)
The new Dehaze effect is great! After setting the white balance, that new slider is my next big thing to move.The type of adjustment feels more like the same kind as the Clarity adjustment.Now I have to scroll all the way down to the Effects panel to use Dehaze. To me it would me way more logically to have the Dehaze near the Clarity slider. That would save a lot of time, scrolling through panels up and down, again and again.

Keith. I had never been" VIP" before. I noticed that the stares of people in the grandstand, when it was declared for us to line up for our meeting, and I'm afraid I sort of liked it! I began to pick up on the excitement VIPs concerning fulfilling this famed singer, had. Evidently, he sang a tune- - or several- - about beer drinking that has been the favorite of everyone who stood in line.

While being entertaining does not hurt and can be enjoyable, it can turn people off if it's coming from a place of insecurity.

All Dancers Wanted For The Worldwide Dance Challenge
This is the competition time of year for dancers and most of them have been or are about to be canceled. This is a competition for everyone, and free to join.
Jesse Paul Smith is doing something about that. He has come up with a website that dancers can still compete. The Worldwide Dance challenge pits two dancers against each other, doesn't matter what the style is, and lets people vote for the winner. The show has an American Idol/Dancing With The Stars feel to it but it has a lot of excitement about it.
The battles take place each Wednesday and Friday. First, the dancers do their thing. They are judged and one of them is Chasen Hampton from the Mickey Mouse Club, and the party. You watch the whole event on Facebook live, then you are directed to go to the website and vote. You are allowed to vote for 24 hours after the event. You can also watch the episode if you missed it.
With over 3000 taking part, this is a great way for the dancers to stay in competition form. If dancers want to compete, you need to make a video between 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes long and send it into [email protected]. It's free to compete and free to watch.

Oh my goodness, I’m pumped about this weekend! You know what else I’m pumped about? This dinner. We eat burgers 2 to 3 times a week during the summer because EVERYONE LOVES THEM. (And all the mamas of kiddos said Amen!). When you find something your whole family enjoys, you make it. On repeat. So, I combined two of my faves into one dinner: burgers and a wedge salad. I love a wedge salad at a steak place. We grilled up our burger patties AND we grilled up our lettuce too. Then, we topped our burgers and grilled lettuce with all of the yummy flavors you find on a wedge salad. A-mazing.
This recipe makes four (half-pound) burgers.
2 pounds of ground beef
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
about 2 tablespoons of your favorite steak seasoning
1 head of iceberg lettuce, chopped into four big pieces (keeping the stem intact at the bottom so it doesn’t come apart when you grill it)
Ranch dressing to drizzle
6 pieces of bacon, cooked to a crisp and then crumbled
cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 red onion, chopped
crumbled bleu cheese
chopped parsley to garnish
Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine your ground beef, a few drizzles of EVOO and your steak seasoning together. Divide this mixture into four sections and make four patties (make sure to press down each patty a little in the center to avoid the “burger bulge” when they grill).
Add your burger patties to the grill and begin grilling (we do about 6 minutes or so each side). About two minutes before you’re ready to remove, add your four pieces of iceberg lettuce to the grill and grill up both sides. If you leave the stem intact, then the lettuce won’t really fall apart when you’re grilling it. We grilled the lettuce about a minute or two per side. Just long enough to get a smokey touch and great grill marks.
When your patties and lettuce are done, remove from the grill and assemble your burgers. Bun, grilled iceberg lettuce, patty, a drizzle of Ranch dressing, quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, bacon crumbles and bleu cheese.
Serve and enjoy!

Penn South was subsidized workers’ housing decades before Chelsea became fabulous. Will its duffel-coat-clad residents vote to join the party?
The Penn South co-ops, those fifteen towers in a park between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Chelsea, almost sold out its socialist roots during the last real-estate boom in 1986. In the end, though, the board decided not to trade its tax subsidies for the ability to sell apartments at market rates. This week, it’s up for a vote again. “Who knew then that Chelsea would become such a hot neighborhood?” says Penn South’s treasurer, Walter Mankoff.
Like the Grand Street co-ops, Penn South was built as union housing. And, judging by the bifocaled crowd (“Miriam! Can you hear what he’s saying?”) at a tenants’ meeting last month, many original occupants still live there.
When Penn South was built in 1962, the tax abatements were granted in trade for the caveat that outgoing tenants had to sell back their apartments for essentially what they paid for them. Most residents make under $40,000; for those who meet the qualifications and stick out the decade-plus waiting list, a one-bedroom sells for $15,000.
On April 4, the 2,820 shareholders will vote on whether to stick with the 1986 plan, which hasn’t stopped monthly taxes and charges from climbing to nearly $800 for a one-bedroom as the complex ages and gentrification increases the apartments’ value. When the plan ends, in eleven years, it could go market-rate. The other option is to amend the tax contract and freeze the building’s taxes until 2027.
And while some shareholders, like Andrew Alpern, 62, are crusading for privatization (“Why be ghettoized as low-income housing?”), there was a lot of dissatisfied cane-scraping across the linoleum.
“It’s almost a moral obligation to keep Penn South the way it is, given the benefits we’ve all enjoyed,” says lifelong resident Gena Feist. Others express disgust at the thought of selling for profit, decrying “landlord swindlers” in their midst.
Still, this isn’t Irving Howe’s town anymore. “The 150 apartments vacated a year could be sold,” Alpern says, then mordantly adds, “vacated involuntarily, of course.”

If you sat through Spalding Gray’s latest traveling monologue, Morning, Noon and Night, you’ve heard all about how he fell for Sag Harbor village life. He and his wife, arts booker and manager Kathleen Russo, came out for the weekend and before long had bought journalist Robert Sam Anson’s three-bedroom 1860s house. Five years later, they’ve decided they need a bit more room and are selling it for $825,000. “It used to be the schoolhouse,” says their broker, Sotheby’s Tara Newman. They found a bigger, slightly older, more expensive house in nearby North Haven (asking: $895,000), where neighbors include artist Eric Fischl. “It’s a real captain’s house, with the original floorboards from a ship,” she says. He told Newman, “I’m finally ready to move from Ishmael’s house to Ahab’s.”

Dips in the Dow notwithstanding, Park Avenue’s still stockbroker country. The buyer of this classic seven showed up unexpectedly a few days after the original buyer failed to pass the board. “As soon as we put it back on, it went again that same day,” says William B. May’s Roger Erickson, who’d been selling the place. “He had no trouble, went right through. Really nice people.” The buyer, who works for Morgan Stanley, and his wife, also in finance, are empty-nesters who “decided to move back into the city and enjoy their lives again.”

HotJobs.com might be cooling off a bit, but the outlook was far rosier last summer when its vice-president of engineering signed a contract for this raw loft space. It’s in the newly converted Atalanta Building, a former refrigerated-storage warehouse that was fenestrated to make it fit for human habitation (one hopes the A/C works well). His fifth-floor corner unit has fifteen hand-drilled windows facing south and east and an open floor plan – perfect for hosting one of those “pink slip” parties (HotJobs laid off 100 people last week). “He saw it on the Internet and called me up,” says Helene Luchnick of Douglas Elliman. | <urn:uuid:0bf5c575-a1d3-4563-9ab4-ab4dda2df928> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://nymag.com/nymetro/realestate/features/4550/ | 2020-09-29T12:15:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.959501 | 1,172 |
Annalisa Galgano will travel to Greece to study how the Greek leftist social solidarity movement has supported refugees in Athens
NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Class of 2017 student, Annalisa Galgano, 22, has been awarded a U.S. Student Fulbright Study Grant in support of her individual research project, “The Solidarity Movement Model for Refugee Service Provision.” Building on her previous research with refugees in Athens, Galgano aims to conduct ethnographic and interview-based research to understand the solidarity model of refugee support and how it has facilitated the social and economic integration of refugees in Greece. Her findings will contribute to research on the Greek solidarity movement and help to form policy recommendations on refugee housing and integration.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides grants for individually designed study or research projects and offers opportunities for students to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and primary and secondary school teaching worldwide. The program awards approximately 1,900 grants annually in all fields of study and operates in more than 140 countries.
Originally from Colorado, U.S., Galgano has had the opportunity to study public policy in Spain, Ghana, China, and Argentina during her time at NYUAD. In addition to co-founding NYUAD’s peer support program, Galgano has worked with a safe house for trafficking victims and spent summer 2016 in Greece conducting field research with refugees for her senior Capstone Project. She will graduate in May and travel to Greece to begin her research in September.
Galgano said: "Conducting my Capstone research in Greece was one of the most transformative experiences of my life, and I am thankful beyond words to have the opportunity to return to Greece with the Fulbright program next year. Through this project, I hope to better understand how public policy can encourage refugee integration in a way that benefits both refugees and local host communities. I am so grateful to Professor Sophia Kalantzakos for connecting me to this issue in Greece, and to my many other mentors at NYU Abu Dhabi who have guided me through this process."
Upon completion of her Fulbright research, Galgano plans to continue working in migrant affairs and eventually pursue a graduate degree in Public Administration.
Notable U.S. Student Fulbright alumni include ambassadors, members of U.S. Congress, judges, university presidents, artists, professors, and journalists.

I just returned last night from seeing six of our grandchildren. As always, it warms my heart and I am smiling now just thinking about it. It was SO cute to see the 2-year-old cousins – one boy, one girl – play together. They are quite a pair! As is common with children their age they are WIDE OPEN. They started by “cooking” , wearing aprons and bringing me samples to “taste.” They soon moved to jumping on the bed, throwing stuffed animals, and went on to performing with a play microphone. They were not concerned with “girls play” or “boys play” ….they just want to play. It is refreshing to see children play with abandon and joy. They aren’t bothered with “gender appropriate play” if there is such a thing. Children only become aware of such issues when adults express their concerns.
It bothered me so much when our children were small and some well-meaning person would say to our daughters “Do you have a boyfriend? ” or “Who is your boyfriend?” If the answer was “no” (as it should be with young children) it might seem to the child that there was a deficiency, that she should have a boyfriend. Family members may even pick someone out for a child’s special attention and manufacture a relationship that a small child is not ready for, nor does he/she want. We tried to emphasize being friends. That meant that we encouraged our children’s relationships with other children regardless of that child’s sex. We tried to minimize singling out a friend as a “boyfriend”, “girlfriend” or “best friend” ( BFF now?) instead focusing on being FRIENDS. When one child is designated a “best friend” that instantly demotes all other friends to a lesser role. Encouraging healthy friendships is an important responsibility of parents.
John 15:15 (NIV)
- Friends are welcoming Jesus does NOT have a “BFF” – we ALL are His friends if we are called by His name – Christian.
- Friends share Jesus does not say – “If you don’t give that to me – you can’t come to my birthday party!”
- Friends are loyal, no matter what Jesus does not abandon us …. even when someone new becomes a Christian
- Friends tell the truth Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and the life, He shares everything from His Father with us
- Friends forgive Jesus forgives all our sins, even when we have disappointed Him …again
- Friends are inclusive, not exclusive Jesus had friends who were males (Peter, John) and females (Mary, Martha)
Encouraging healthy friendships that incorporate the above traits will allow our children to develop lifelong skills that will not only be a blessing, but will also emulate Christ. When one of our daughters was planning her wedding, we talked about who (besides her BEAUTIFUL sisters) she wanted in her wedding as bridesmaids. “Well, Jonathan and David are the closest friends I have had for the longest time.”
Well, those young men would not have looked so good in the bridesmaid dresses, but they did look very nice in suits as ushers! The fact was, they had been dear friends since childhood and being in each other’s weddings reflected that relationship. Their friendship has evolved to include all their spouses, though now they are separated by distance.
Friends enrich our lives in so many ways and helping our children to value true friendship is a wonderful legacy to pass on. | <urn:uuid:6bd6a036-efeb-4a6b-9405-c69a534c4f27> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ourfathersdaughters.com/2012/02/21/friends/ | 2020-09-29T10:04:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.975374 | 773 |

With school closures in place through at least April 15 and many students in Broward County relying on breakfast and lunch at school, one young Parkland resident has come up with a way to help them over spring break.
Kendall Cunningham, a fourth-grader at Heron Heights, has already packed over 200 brown bag meals in her home for Broward students less fortunate than herself.
The idea came from a lunch packing event, which takes place monthly at Cambridge Schools of Coral Springs, donating meals to LifeNet4Families.
With the social distancing guidelines in place to limit the exposure of COVID-19, her mother, Rachel had an idea. She thought that instead of everyone congregating in the same place to prepare the meals, they could pack them at home, or donate money for her family to do so in their Meadow Run home.
They arranged two options for collecting: buy non-perishable food and bring your carload to the park, or keep your kids (who will be home driving you crazy) busy by having them pack items into brown bag breakfasts and lunches.
“Our hope is they give the meals out on the weekends and over spring break when Broward County Public Schools is not providing them,” said Rachel, who added that her daughter, Kendall is the real muscle behind the operation.
Kendall, 10, and her sister, Jacsyn, 5, have created their own assembly line on their dining room table to pack the 200 plus breakfast and lunch meals.
“My sister colored on the bags and drew stuff to make the kids happy, and I filled the bags with the food,” said Kendall.
Kendall’s mom said she is a worker bee with a great heart.
“Her organizational skills are truly paying off with the little process she has going,” she said.
Kendall explained she doesn’t think it’s fair that kids don’t get to have food on the weekends or during the week if they don’t go to school to get food. According to Rachel, Kendall knows their family tries to donate to people in need.
“We live in a community where the kids are relatively privileged, so we try to keep her aware that not everybody has the same advantages and enjoyment that she has, so this is one of the ways we are trying to get her exposed to that,” she said.
The meal collection will take place at Pine Trails Park, located at 10555 Trails End, in Parkland, on Thursday, March 19, at 10 a.m. Following this, those who are able may caravan to Lifenet4Families in Lauderhill. Anyone with questions can email Rachel.

A 5 Day water fast, words that said out loud get some interesting responses, but deserve a little explanation. I decided to do a 5 day water fast after a lot of research and some experimenting with intermittent fasting. My first introduction to the water fast was in the documentary, The Science of Fasting. This documentary details the benefits of fasting and how it affects the aging process. I started looking for more information and discovered the use of intermittent fasting to maintain body weight and/or lose weight. What I found most fascinating though, was that by fasting you give your body a break from insulin production and in a world where more and more people are pre-diabetic or have full blown diabetes 2, this is good to know.
For several months before I did the 5 day fast, I was intermittent fasting. What that means is I gave myself a full 16 hour window free of eating. If I stopped eating by 8:00 pm at night, then the next day I wouldn’t eat until noon. I did this three to four times a week. The week before my 5 day fast, I did a 24 hour fast by finishing eating by 6:00 pm one night and not eating again till 6:00 pm the next. Each time the process got easier, until I knew I was ready to go for 5 days.
I decided to do my 5 day water fast while my husband was on a work trip. This way I had no temptations by watching him eat. All food was placed out of sight. My work week ahead was light and knew it was the perfect time.
Sunday night I had dinner with my husband and that was my last meal for 5 full days. Monday, my husband left on his journey and I wrote for a few hours. I did my regular exercise routine. I drank lots of water and any time I felt hunger pains I drank more. That evening, I watched a series on Netflix and went to bed early. Though some people report sleeping poorly, I slept as usual.
Tuesday, I woke up and felt fine, but by noon, my head was in a complete fog. I mean truly hazy crazy fog! My body was shifting from burning glycogen to burning fat. That’s a good sign, but a little strange feeling. I made it through the day basically laying on the couch and watching movies. (I don’t have television, and if you do, I would recommend not watching anything with commercials to avoid those high fat, junk food cravings that might hit you.) A little bit of a weak feeling that day, but just drank lots of water to stay ahead of the game.
Wednesday my body felt slower, but my head was clear again and I was able to work for awhile. My exercise routine went well and I also did some office clean up chores. Approaching the half-way point, I thought for sure at this point I could make it to the end. Though I had moments of hunger, I staved it off with more water.
Thursday was much the same. More water. More movies. More water. Slow moving.
Friday arrived and I was so happy knowing I was almost finished. My mind was clear. My joints weren’t aching. My face and skin looked bright. I stayed busy through the day and at 7:00 pm I broke the fast. I cut an avocado in half, salted it and ate the whole thing. I ate slow and savored every bite. Nothing had ever tasted that good. I also had a cup of decaf coffee. I was finished.
Saturday morning I had an Americano, my go to morning drink and enjoyed it immensely. During the week, the hardest thing for me was not having that morning coffee or hot tea during the day, so I ran water through old grounds and made a very weak cup of coffee each morning. I also made green tea by putting just a few leaves in the bottom of a cup and letting them steep. The flavor in the hot water was tasty. I also made a lentil soup Saturday morning and ate about 11:00 am. After that, I went back to my normal plant based diet.
A 5 day water fast was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but well worth the effort. If you decide to do this, first, do your homework. Research and read all you can about fasting. If you are taking any medications, then you must talk to your doctor about fasting. If your doctor is against it, I’d suggest searching out a doctor who understands and believes in fasting. There are few contraindications for fasting, but some people definitely need monitoring.
Consider this, our ancestors often went for days without food. Their bodies didn’t burn muscle, their bodies burned fat stores. That’s why our bodies put on fat, to provide us energy in lean times. I lost 12 pounds total and gained back 6. This was a possibility I understood, and was prepared for the gaining back. I’ve managed to keep off that extra weight. I continue to intermittent fast and will do another 5 day fast at the beginning of 2019.
Fasting has been a great solution for me and my lifestyle. I never have to be hardcore about fasting days, I can shift them to fit whatever my schedule that week. Combined with a plant based diet, I feel I can manage my weight and stay healthy. I’m currently taking no prescribed medicines and the supplements I take are: Chlorella, Turmeric with black pepper, vitamin D, Vegan DHA, and B12.
Have you tried fasting? How is it working for you? I hope you’ll share in the comments below and share this post with your friends and family. | <urn:uuid:2f3cfcd8-a5bd-4f3a-b761-90e26b46d476> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://radicalaging.com/5-day-water-fast-how-why-what/ | 2020-09-29T11:20:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.984955 | 1,183 |
Judging from the response I’ve been getting, especially at the last webinars I did on how to create a business strategy, I think that a lot of businesses are really planning to end this year strong and to enter 2020 even stronger.
So this week, let’s talk about strategic execution. This is really a discussion about time management more than anything else, because to really get all the benefits from strategic planning, you have to spend the time to get your strategic execution in place.
I’ve read just about every book on business that’s been published in the last thirty years, and I’ve read many of them more than once. All of them, and I mean this literally, every single one of them points out the same exact problem that causes a business to have low-performance. They all highlight the same exact management style that leads a business directly to the middle or back of the pack. They tell us exactly what causes most businesses to fail.
And I start with the negative because it’s so easy to just read this insight and say, “oh yeah, I’ve heard that before,” without really stopping to think about what it means to you, personally, right now, before the end of this year.
Here’s what kills you: Fighting fires. Managers running around keeping everyone “busy.” Managers obsessed with their “authority.” Managers “protecting their turf.” A culture that grinds out “business as usual.”
I know from personal experience that is it so easy, so incredibly easy, to look around at exactly that situation and to lie to yourself that it’s not happening.
It is so incredibly easy to think, “well, obviously, we have to put out that particular fire, or the business will burn down.” And to think, “well, obviously, management has to have things under control.” And, “obviously, if we don’t finish all this work, our revenue will vanish.”
The business-as-usual grinders have a lot of long meetings. They spend time complaining about employees and customers. They spend the time complaining that they don’t have the resources they need. They convince each other that it’s impossible for them to complete a project or hit a goal until after something else has happened first. They end the meeting—every meeting, every day—frustrated, bored, and in a holding pattern.
I can assure you, we’ve all been in this situation. Organizations tend to fall into ruts. I talk to a lot of CEOs who come to us because are looking for a way to get out of this rut. They can tell that they’re dying, and they’re starting to panic.
So let me run you through a time-management thought-experiment that will give you an idea of how to stop lying to yourself and start doing something to transform your business. I’m going to go into a lot more detail about this at my next webinar as well.
Imagine this: Your managers are not obsessed with their authority and they are not protecting their turf and they are not running around putting out fires. They’ve each inspired their crews with a clear vision about what makes your company unique today. They’ve each inspired their crews with an understanding of what’s going to happen in the market and in their job over the course of the next several years. They’ve inspired their crews with an understanding of how their company will continue to be unique and successful as those changes unfold.
There are no fires. No matter what goes wrong, everyone understands the big picture, and so rather than snipe at each other and argue about job descriptions and responsibility, they just handle the situation with the big picture in mind.
Your managers spend their time thanking people for a job well done and reinforcing the big picture understanding of what ‘s going on and why.
Your managers can do this because you—yes, you—spend most of your time reinforcing the big picture for them. The books have all the numbers, but I can tell you that high-performing teams spend a great deal more time talking to each other about the big picture.
They keep the strategic vision in sight at all times. They choose “key performance metrics” or “objectives and key results’ or “the metrics that matter” or whatever you want to call them with the strategic vision front-and-center.
They look at those numbers, they look at the processes in place, they look at the people doing the work, and the strategic vision guides their thoughts about all of that. Managers aren’t wasting their time in little ego-oriented games. They’re figuring out how to execute your strategy.
And the main reason they’re doing that is because you’re doing that. You can run your organization this way. You can have a work environment like this, with your current employees. Come to my webinars and I’ll give you a solid roadmap of how to get there. | <urn:uuid:2381aafa-a9ac-40f7-a549-b8931f9aaf65> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://resultsbi.com/your-business-strategy-can-change-your-life/ | 2020-09-29T11:58:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.968523 | 1,090 |

About The Earth Guardians
The Earth Guardians are a collaboration between Teafly and The Environmental Center of Bend, Oregon.
The Earth Guardians were created to help guide children in the practices of sustainableity and environmental stewardship.
You can see them each April as they lead the annual Earth Day Parade in Bend, Oregon!
For this collaboration, I created:
• Three eight-foot tall puppets that are made from 75% of recycled materials gathered in the community with the help of 3 additional artists who helped to make the armature and skins for the puppets. The puppets are used to in school assemblies, to lead the annual Earth Day parade, and for public events attended by The Environmental Center.
• Illustrations of the Three Guardians: The River Guardian, The Forest Guardian and The Garden Guardian
• A short story that narrates the legend of The Earth Guardians, teaching children about how they are connected to the natural world and encourages them to be stewards to the land where they live. | <urn:uuid:d08785f8-9187-4f94-b373-1bb0cf6f759d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://teafly.com/art/the-earth-guardians/ | 2020-09-29T12:13:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.947332 | 203 |
The following video – posted by a Muslim female named Umm Aqsa, once again shows a male questioning why a female chooses to wear the abaya and the Niqab (face veil). The video highlights how a simple trip for shopping turns into a tirade about the identity and clothing of the Muslim female.
We have said before that anti-Muslim bigotry crosses race and religions. In this instance, the perpetrator is a black male and can be seen in the video. We have also listed the comments of Umm Aqsa underneath the video to highlight her thoughts, but we must also add that she subsequently has received lots of positive messages from the public supporting her and this needs to be highlighted. When we highlight such issues, it is important to remember that there are lots of people who reject such bigotry and lots who believe that Muslims are fellow citizens. This is always important to remember.
Comments from the Facebook Page of Umm Aqsa
I can not believe what I had to endure today. Honestly couldn’t believe it. Thank you to the uncle and brother who came in and had a go at the man.
I was minding my own business so I had to pop into the shop down in Shepherds Bush to grab something. As I entered, this guy who I’ve seen around the area decided to call me ‘ batman’ he even sang the theme tune to his little girls and told them to guess if I’m a man or a women. He told his girls that people like me don’t speak English etc.
I tried to hold it all in but I couldn’t after everything he was saying. I told him he is ignorant and that his kids will be ignorant also if he doesn’t change his way and attitude . He kept going on so i decided to record him and he was aware of this. How ironic he called me ISIS
Please keep in mind his daughters are scared and crying! !
Respect to the uncle and brother who stepped in.
Anyways long story short I left the shop and entered another shop next door to pick up my mum’s stuff and my friend rang me. Whilst I am explaining what happened a lady in that shop was listening to my conversation and she told me that he’s a foolish man to have said that. I hanged up on my friend and decided to speak to her further . Honestly as much as she also had his mentality and thinks that all women wearing ‘that’ (niqab) don’t speak English or don’t want to interact with others, she was open-minded and listened to what I had to say. She understood and we had a grown up conversation and she was very surprised how the niqab was my choice and how I speak English etc . Even though that made me laugh she said something so stupid. She told me she gets scared when she gets on a train and sees a man with a beard. Lol I laughed and told her does she get even more scared if he’s a Muslim man and it’s not the beard she’s cared of. Come on let’s be real beards are in fashion. What she was saying was mind-boggling.
I mean she said something that made me think. She said how ISIS is winning and turning us against each other ‘ us and them mentality’ she said that’s sad and I agree but at the same time what she was saying was horrific even though she said it so nicely lol.
Boy I had an eventful end to my day. Off to have a nice hot cuppa herbal tea | <urn:uuid:f2085a8b-bc4b-4b6b-a048-5e31a2a34e92> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://tellmamauk.org/video-shows-bigotry-women-wear-niqab-face/ | 2020-09-29T10:34:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.989692 | 757 |

It’s not everyday that one witnesses a giant fall. But one giant did fall – 80 square km of mass to be exact – in a matter of days. This took place just last month. I’m referring to the epochal collapse of the Milne Ice Shelf in the Canadian Arctic.
The Milne Ice Shelf lies at the fringe of Ellesmere Island, in the sparsely populated northern Canadian Arctic territory of Nunavut. Until July this year, it was the last fully intact ice shelf in the Canadian Arctic and a spectacle to behold. No longer. Last month, above normal air temperatures, offshore winds and open water in front of the ice shelf have caused it to collapse. It took nature 4,000 years to build this “city of ice”; it took only two days for it to lose 80 square km or 43 percent of its area, the equivalent of 1.3 times the size of Manhattan Island in New York. The ice erosion continues as I write.
Not surprisingly, global warming is the culprit. The Arctic has been warming at twice the global rate for the last 30 years, due to a process known as Arctic amplification. But this year, temperatures in the polar region have been intense, with the polar sea ice reaching its lowest extent for July in 40 years and record heat and wildfires scorching Siberian Russia. “This was the largest remaining intact ice shelf, and it’s disintegrated, basically,” lamented Luke Copland, a glaciologist at the University of Ottawa who was part of the research team studying the Milne Ice Shelf.
Here’s a poem I wrote to remember this epochal event:
DEATH OF A GIANT
We remember them as
immovable parts of the geography
like Ayers rocks in the wrong place.
Then, one by one, we saw them go
like patients with terminal cancer.
The smaller ones went first,
and for a while, we thought that
this was the fate of the Lilliputians
which didn’t have the bulk
to stand up to the biting winds.
We were wrong of course,
Instinctively, we clenched our hearts
as ice sheets the size of cities
knelt into the seas
and gave up their souls, sinking
four thousand years into oblivion.
How else should one react?
Do you allow yourself to weep
knowing that weeping won’t save them?
Do you write an eulogy and
recite it from comfort of your deck?
Or do you beat your chest
knowing that you may have something
to do with their demise?
In any case, there’s no time to dither.
Another day, another thousand year
of memories will turn into vapor.
Perhaps it’s best
to leave it to the frigid waters
their well-deserved requiem. | <urn:uuid:5936fabd-1d42-4368-aeb2-7b5f376f12c6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thesublimeblog.org/2020/08/15/requiem-for-a-giant/ | 2020-09-29T11:35:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.937212 | 606 |
Action Express with Bourdais fastest on day 2 in Sebring test
A total of 2,819 laps (10,543.06 miles) were run over two days at Sebring.
SEBRING, Fla. (Nov. 17, 2013) – The No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP led its second consecutive day of TUDOR United SportsCar Championship testing Sunday at Sebring International Raceway courtesy of a best lap of 1:53.748 (118.367 mph) by Sebastien Bourdais.
“The changes really change the feel of the car, but it doesn’t change its character,” said Bourdais, who got his first taste of the extensive modifications to Daytona Prototypes on Sunday. “It’s a quicker car. I think we’ll gain about three seconds at Daytona. If we balance it, maybe there’s a bit more in it. The rear diffuser really helps set the back of the car down. These cars didn’t have much downforce before, but they have significantly more now.”
The No. 12 Pickett Racing ORECA FLM09 was the lone Prototype Challenge (PC) car at the test and turned the fifth-quickest lap of the day overall at 1:58.035 (114.068 mph). The No. 93 SRT Motorsports SRT Viper GTS-R led the way in GT Le Mans (GTLM) at 2:01.619 (110.706 mph), and the No. 33 Riley Motorsports SRT Viper GT3-R topped GT Daytona (GTD) at 2:04.539 (108.111 mph).
A total of 2,819 laps (10,543.06 miles) were run over two days at Sebring. TUDOR Championship competitors will reconvene on Tuesday at Daytona International Speedway for another two days of testing.
Muscle Milk Pickett Racing is looking for new worlds to conquer. After two years of dominating the former American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón P1 category, the team rolled out a PC car for the test at Sebring as the first step in a possible three-class entry in TUDOR Championship competition.
Bryan Heitkotter and Steven Doherty shared the No. 12 ORECA FLM09/Chevrolet for the Sebring test. The lone PC at the session turned a best lap of 1:58.035.
“We’re here for car and driver evaluation, and we’re clicking right through our program,” said team manager and engineer Brandon Fry. “This is the first time for both Bryan and Steven in a car like this, so we’re just taking it step by step.”
The team raced this car three times in 2012 (although it didn’t own it at the time) at Sebring, Long Beach and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and was running second in the PC standings before opting to concentrate on P1.
It’s also the first time at Sebring for Heitkotter, but the Californian is no stranger to steep learning curves.
The graduate of the Gran Turismo Academy bested more than 53,000 online competitors to earn a one-week shootout at Silverstone in 2011. There, he beat out 16 other finalists to earn a drive for the Nissan team for which he competed in Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge events in 2012 and 2013.
“It’s definitely a learning process,” Heitkotter said. “We did some setup work yesterday, getting the car better, and getting more rear grip today. We’ve been taking baby steps, building confidence. This is a tough track to learn driving a downforce car for the first time, and it’s also the first time for the car at Sebring on Continental Tires. Plus I’ve never been to Sebring, either, so we’re taking it step by step. It’s been good so far.”
Fry said the team will not be testing at Daytona, but hopes to have further announcements in the upcoming weeks.
One step at a time for Muehlner's pair of GTD Porsches
Muehlner Motorsports took a conservative approach in the initial test of its two Porsche GT Americas at Sebring.
“We learned a lot about our suspension on Saturday,” team owner Bernhardt Muehlner said. “After working on the car Saturday night, we concentrated on learning more about the brakes today.”
Randy Pobst and Kyle Marcelli drove the team’s No. 19 car on Saturday, and shared time in both the No. 19 and No. 18 entries on Sunday. They will be joined by Porsche Supercup driver Norbert Siedler at Daytona.
“The GT America is a different animal,” said Pobst, who is evaluating his plans for next season. “I’m really impressed with the paddle-shifters. It’s so nice, so easy.”
Aston Martin combines efforts across GTLM, GTD for testing
The factory team left its No. 007 Aston Martin Vantage behind following September’s FIA World Endurance Championship event at Circuit of The Americas in September. The two teams are testing side-by-side at Sebring and Daytona before going their separate ways to prepare for the 2014 season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona.
“They didn’t want to bring all their stuff over for the test, and they had left their car with us after COTA,” said TRG-AMR owner Kevin Buckler. “We’re working together this weekend, sharing some resources and personnel with our cousins from England. They’ll have all their own stuff for the Rolex 24.”
David Heinemeier Hansson did most of the testing in the No. 007 GTLM Aston Martin Vantage, and will be joined by Darren Turner and Paul Dalla Lana at Daytona.
“We’ve raced here many times,” said Dan Sayers, Aston Martin Racing team manager and chief engineer. “We’ve got quite a good setup for here, and that allowed us to get a lot of running here without having to do much development. But Daytona is going to be quite interesting. We haven’t run a GT car there, so we’ve got to learn a lot, quickly. Two days isn’t very long, so we’ve got to maximize it with Michelin and get the tires to work. We’ll be learning a huge amount about that circuit.”
For the American team, the test is another step for TRG learning the Aston Martin following a long and successful run with Porsches.
“We’re still trying to understand the mechanical side of car, and make it faster,” Buckler said. “We knew the Porsches very well, but now we’re starting from scratch with a clean sheet of paper. What we really need is a big spares package – we had a whole trailer full of stuff when we ran Porsches.”
Flying Lizard Audis off to solid start in GTD
Flying Lizard Motorsports spent the weekend in Sebring getting acquainted with its pair of Audi R8 LMS race cars.
One would think – given the team’s lengthy history with Porsche – that the Lizards would face a considerable adjustment period. That wasn’t necessarily the case, however, according to team manager Eric Ingraham.
“The thing that made it a bit easier for us was we transitioned to (the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón) GTC last year, to a new car, to a new class, to a new way of looking at how the cars are technically inspected,” said Ingraham. “Because of that, we’ve got some recent experience on some bigger framework changes.
“This year, it’s a new series, obviously, and there’s a lot to learn still about that. On top of that, it was going to be a new car regardless, whether it was a [Porsche GT America] car or the R8. With the R8, it’s actually been made much easier again by Audi’s communication with us, the information sharing, things like that. It’s a big task and a daunting one in a manner of speaking, but we’ve got the recent experience, which sort of helps soften the blow.”
Like the team, Flying Lizard driver Spencer Pumpelly also has a long history of racing Porsches. He admitted that the past two days have been somewhat of an adjustment period, but he’s enjoying the opportunity.
“So far, I’m really pleased,” Pumpelly said. “The car is fun to drive. It’s a lot different from a 911, which is good and bad. I’m so used to them, it almost feels like home, so I’m having to reevaluate some things I do in the race car. But at the same time, it is so much fun in certain spots of this track. I just love it.”
Pumpelly and co-driver Nelson Canache Jr. earned three class victories and played a central role in helping Flying Lizard Motorsports take the ALMS GTC team championship. Both were testing with the team at Sebring, which bodes well for 2014. However, the team’s driver plans have not yet been revealed.
“The goal would be to announce the driver lineup for the full season and the (Rolex 24) before the Roar (Before The Rolex 24 test on Jan. 3-5, 2014),” Ingraham said.
Alex Job Racing focused on two teams, one manufacturer
For the first time in a while, Alex Job Racing enters this year’s TUDOR Championship with two fully-funded teams, supported by one manufacturer. While Porsche has long been a part of the AJR lineup, the last couple of seasons have seen the team also support customer entries from a variety of other brands.
That changes in 2014 when AJR focuses solely on a pair of Porsche GT Americas in the GTD class.
“We’re back to where we used to be, back to my roots of having a two-car, Porsche-only team,” said team owner Alex Job. “It’s a good thing for us right now because we have new cars this year and we’ve got to learn these new cars. I feel blessed to have a two-car program because having two cars gives us the ability to go in different directions and learn what these cars want as quickly as possible.”
Cooper MacNeil and Leh Keen, who co-drove to the 2012 ALMS GTC championship, will drive the No. 22 WeatherTech Porsche GT America, while Ian James and Mario Farnbacher handle duties behind the wheel of an entry from Team Seattle. Although the two cars are separate customer entries, teamwork will be key in getting up to speed in what will be an ultra-competitive GTD class.
“We’re going to share everything. At the end of the day we are still competing against one another, but we know we’re going to be stronger with one two-car team,” said Job. “I have to respect that they are two different customers, but we have agreed to work as one two-car team so the drivers, engineers and teams will share all of the data.
“There are a lot of new cars from different manufacturers in the GTD class this year, but we have strength in numbers at Porsche. We have to all work together to get up to speed as quickly as possible.”
Project Libra participates in Sebring test with an eye toward 2014
After a year-long absence, Project Libra reacquainted itself with the North American sports car scene at Sebring with co-drivers Robbie Kerr and Nicolas de Crem sharing the controls of the team’s No. 15 RWB Vodka Radical SR9 in the P class.
The team is also expected to participate in the two-day test session at Daytona International Speedway on Tuesday and Wednesday, with an eye toward putting together a full TUDOR Championship campaign for 2014.
“We’re here to show that we want to be in the series,” said Project Libra owner Ian Dawson. “We worked this year on commercial funding for people to come into the program. We signed up the RWB Vodka people earlier this year and we’ve had them positioned on two other cars as a management project. We’ve got another company looking at it now, who will come to Daytona. They’re very keen to come onboard.”
Dawson noted that the team’s Roush Yates-powered Radical is a markedly different package than anything currently subscribed for the TUDOR Championship, and that is by design.
“The whole program is built around something different,” Dawson said. “We need to be credible. That’s an important thing for me. I’ve been 44 years in this and some of it’s always been a bit experimental, but I think that’s always been the beauty of the series. It allows you to come in and try something. It’s important to give value to our people.”
Accident mars Sunday test for NGT Motorsport
NGT Motorsport was hard at work Sunday afternoon repairing damage to the left-rear of its Porsche GT America after an incident involving Alex Mueller early in the day’s final session. Team owner/manager Ramez Wahab believes the damage is mostly cosmetic and the team will be able to make next week’s test at Daytona International Speedway.
It was already a busy weekend for NGT Motorsports, which took delivery of its Porsche Friday afternoon and turned its first laps Saturday. In fact, the new car has yet to even see team’s Miami-based shop.
“We didn’t have that much seat time because the car came straight from the airport to the track,” said Wahab. “We never had the car at the shop, so yesterday was all about breaking in the car, breaking in the gearbox and the axles.”
The lack of track time wasn’t a concern for Wahab, knowing that the first two tracks on the TUDOR Championship schedule are tracks the team has turned plenty of laps in the past.
“We’re not worried too much about lap times,” he said. “The first race is Daytona and (Sebring) is really our home track. We’ll have other chances to run here.”

The district attorney’s office of New York’s Erie County will be dismissing 35 outstanding bench warrants for low-level charges of possession of marijuana, it was announced Friday. The decision was compelled by Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown’s announcement that the city’s police department would no longer be enforcing low-level cannabis-related crimes.
“As legalization discussions continue in Albany, I am relieving a burden on those individuals who may have these charges hanging over their heads in the interest of justice,” District Attorney John Flynn said at a Friday press conference. “I do not believe people should find themselves in the criminal justice system and unable to apply for employment, student loans, or other services because of a low-level marijuana charge.”
Flynn said his next step will be his office staff going to “every town and village court” in Erie County to get their list of outstanding low-level cannabis bench warrants in order to dismiss them.
Though the district attorney told reporters he was unwilling to voice an opinion on marijuana legalization, he was appreciative of the fact that there is a “social justice component” to ending cannabis prohibition.
“The evidence is clear and the numbers are there,” he said. “You can’t hide facts that there is a disproportionate number of minorities who are arrested for low-level marijuana offenses. The facts show that both whites and non-whites use marijuana equally, so there’s a problem there.”
Of the 35 bench warrants that were dismissed, he continued, 28 involved defendants of color.
Also during the press conference, Flynn name-checked Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, who announced in December that his office would be letting Brooklynites file a motion to get their minor pot charges dropped. At the time, Gonzalez also cited the racial disparities of the justice system as a prime motivator for the policy change. “I do not believe that pursuing those cases makes us safer, and because I recognize that the racial disparities in enforcement with respect to these offenses remained intractable.”
When making decisions on cannabis policing, New York law enforcement is clearly cognizant of the fact that regulation change seems to be on its way. In January, Governor Andrew Cuomo included key points on a plan to legalize marijuana, complete with potential tax rates, in his State of the State address.
Of all the reasons to legalize marijuana, Governor Cuomo seems to be most attracted to the green in the green. He also shared the fact that up to $300 million a year could be expected in taxes by legalizing recreational cannabis to adults over the age of 21. This week, documents surfaced revealing that Cuomo is being lobbied by at least one cannabis business association to ban home grows, though there is no proof that the governor himself is in favor of the money grab for the commercial industry.
Cuomo made recreational cannabis a goal for the 100 days of his current term, famously changed his mind on cannabis legalization last year during actress Cynthia Nixon’s primary challenge. Hopes are high that a cannabis regulatory program budget could be approved by New York’s congress by the start of the fiscal year. | <urn:uuid:e7dd5a6c-0479-48d7-84e8-e43555cf80d1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://weedzmagazine.com/new-york-state-district-attorney-dismisses-35-marijuana-possession-warrants/ | 2020-09-29T10:10:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.972253 | 653 |

Bank of Marin Will Expand Its Footprint South of San Francisco; Names Jake Nguyen as Regional Manager for the Peninsula and South Bay
Bank of Marin has hired Jake Nguyen as Senior Vice President, Commercial Banking Regional Manager for the Peninsula and South Bay region. Mr. Nguyen will focus on building a local team of commercial bankers to work with small to mid-sized companies to provide business, equipment and commercial real estate financing, cash management services and wealth management solutions. He will direct sales activities, oversee loan structuring and underwriting, and ensure overall proactive relationship management for business clients, while also growing Bank of Marin’s community engagement in the Bay Area region south of San Francisco.
“Jake’s extensive regional experience in lending, business development and relationship management is invaluable as Bank of Marin expands its presence into the Peninsula and South Bay,” said Russell A. Colombo, President and CEO. “We are excited to bring our long-standing commitment to relationship banking and disciplined fundamentals to the businesses and communities south of San Francisco.”
A committed member of the South Bay business community, Mr. Nguyen and his family have been Peninsula residents for the last 25 years. Currently, he is a board member of the San Mateo Rotary, serving their scholarship drive and scholarship grants, and a member of the San Mateo Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Nguyen’s nonprofit affiliations include the board of the San Mateo Police Activities League and various local fundraising activities.

Bluegrass Doctors of
Physical Therapy, PLLC
Bluegrass Doctors of Physical Therapy, PLLC does not have contracts with any insurance company and does not file claims to insurance companies; however, the services we provide will most likely go toward your deductible. You may submit a claim directly to your insurance company for possible application toward your deductible and/or reimbursement through out-of-network benefits after you have paid fees for our services. We provide the necessary information for your claim, including our federal tax identification number, diagnosis (ICD) codes, and procedure (CPT) codes. Our doctors will provide signatures or other documentation on a requested basis. Be advised that if you do opt to file a claim for reimbursement, it may be necessary to contact your insurance company prior to your appointment to complete pre-authorization requirements.
Payment is due at the time of service. Accepted forms of payment include Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds, all major credit cards, checks, and cash. Your receipt provides the necessary information for filing your claim with your insurance company for reimbursement according to your plan's out-of-network benefits.
At Bluegrass Doctors of Physical Therapy, your treatment is our primary concern. Unfortunately, insurance companies often interfere in the treatment of patients by complicating allowable services and covered providers. In addition, insurance companies routinely pay only a portion of doctors' fees. Many doctors' offices resort to multi-booking appointments or increasing service fees in order to compensate for the reduced payment schedule from insurance companies - the balance that the insurance companies do not pay may then be passed on to the patient, in most cases.
In many cases, Bluegrass Doctors of Physical Therapy can keep appointment costs lower than providers who process claims to insurance companies. In fact, some of our patients have reported paying more for services elsewhere after their insurance coverage was applied. Furthermore, our doctors do not book multiple patients for the same appointment slot: your appointment time is uniquely for you. We provide you the services best suited to your needs, regardless of insurance coverage.
Instead of practicing under health insurance companies' guidelines, our doctors focus on their mission to provide the best holistic research based care, allowing our patients to recover an average of 2-3 weeks earlier than competitors, and to help develop realistic and comprehensive care options for all people involved in the healing process.
Initial Evaluation is 90 minutes and includes treatment day one. All subsequent follow up treatments are 60 minutes in length. Please contact us if you are interested in or in need of, home visits. | <urn:uuid:747bc086-be0b-4dfa-9339-9261e895ab84> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bluegrassdoctorspt.com/insurance | 2020-09-29T09:21:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.944577 | 526 |
Is your business ready for the May Bank holiday weekend?
The month of May – boasting two bank holiday long weekends – offers most working professionals a well-deserved break from the daily grind. However, for many IT professionals a long weekend can mean a longer to-do list as they work to make sure websites and applications can cope with any extra holiday demand.
With most of the U.K.’s 31 million workers on holiday, many websites experience an increase in traffic. Additionally, network issues can take longer than normal to resolve. Any shortcomings in either area can negatively affect the business and, for some organisations, result in dreaded loss of revenue.
Destiny Bertucci, SolarWinds Head Geek, gives her top three tips for getting your network up to speed for next month’s bank holidays.
Your mind may be slipping into holiday mode, but before you completely check out of work make sure you have a clear back-up procedure and robust back-up systems in place – just in case your primary network decides to go on holiday as well.
By implementing network device monitoring, the IT team is automatically alerted if websites or applications begin to experience high traffic, empowering the team to implement optimisation measures and make sure that if the worst does happen, any outage time is minimal.
Bank holidays can turn a busy workplace into a ghost town. While the tumbleweed roams the office landscape, you need to be prepared to log-in and manage your network remotely if things go south.
Adopting remote administration IT tools helps the IT team make the most of available resources effectively and efficiently, wherever they are during a bank holiday weekend.
The lead up to the bank holiday provides an opportune moment for IT professionals to assess if their process and procedures for a network outage are still current.
Make sure your recovery plans are up-to-date and reflect any improvements or changes you’ve made to the network. And take the time to brief your team on new or altered recovery procedures, ensuring they’re prepared and ready to act if issues occur. | <urn:uuid:cab0ab7d-1ce4-4341-a40c-1dc2177f92b9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cbronline.com/enterprise-it/it-network/preparing-network-may-bank-holidays/ | 2020-09-29T11:55:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.915735 | 426 |
Washington — A day before a Senate Judiciary hearing on encryption, the Computer & Communications Industry Association joined 100 other organizations from around the world in a New America Open Technologies Institute letter to officials in Australia, the U.S. and U.K expressing concern about their misconceptions about encryption.
CCIA, which represents device makers, internet services and telecommunication companies, has supported strong encryption for decades. The following can be attributed to CCIA President & CEO Ed Black:
“Recent statements by law enforcement officials argue that so-called backdoors into encrypted devices and services are necessary for law enforcement to combat crime.
“However, forcing tech companies to build tools to circumvent strong encryption creates significant security risks, while doing little to help law enforcement catch criminals. The problem is these security gaps could be exploited by nefarious actors to target individuals, businesses, and critical infrastructure, while criminals can switch to other encryption tools. That’s why despite technology changing over the decades, stakeholders have consistently recognized the privacy and security value of strong encryption to all segments of society.” | <urn:uuid:153e2b43-fcb0-42cb-95f5-ea1631141a19> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ccianet.org/2019/12/ccia-signs-joint-oti-letter-supporting-encryption/ | 2020-09-29T11:54:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.919172 | 216 |
November 2008 - Philippine Supreme Court Decisions/Resolutions
A.C. No. 5851 - GRACE DELA CRUZ-SILLANO v. ATTY. WILFREDO PAUL D. PANGAN
[A.C. NO. 5851 : November 25, 2008]
GRACE DELA CRUZ-SILLANO, Complainant v. ATTY. WILFREDO PAUL D. PANGAN, Respondent.
D E C I S I O N
This is a complaint filed by Grace Dela Cruz-Sillano (complainant) against Atty. Wilfredo Paul D. Pangan (respondent) for disbarment for having conspired in forging a Special Power of Attorney.
The facts in the Report and Recommendation of the Commission on Bar Discipline of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) read as follows:
Respondent is accused of forging the signature of an affiant [Zenaida A. Dela Cruz] in a Special Power of Attorney (SPA). The affiant in this SPA is the mother of complainant. The SPA appears to have authorized a certain Ronaldo F. Apostol to "process, claim, receive and encash checks representing my (affiant's) benefits arising from my insurance policy with the Insular Life Assurance Company Ltd." Consequently, respondent also stands accused of notarizing a document in the absence of the affiant. Complainant specifically alleges:
"That on March 15, 1999, Atty. Pangan conspiring and confederating with the other accused R.F. Apostol falsified and forged a document denominated as a Special Power of Attorney (by forgering [sic] the signature of my deceased mother and notarizing the same), which empowered the accused Ronaldo F. Apostol to process, receive claim and encash check representing benefits arising from the insurance policy of my deceased mother Zenaida Apostol de la Cruz (of which I am the beneficiary). The accused successfully encash [sic] the check in the amount of P71,033.53 to my damage and prejudice."
The charge of forgery is premised on complainant's claim that when the SPA was notarized on 15 March 1999, the affiant therein was bedridden in the United States, who was sick with malignant cancer of the lungs, and that, in fact, the alleged affiant died on 27 May 1999 also in the United States. Complainant specifically alleges:
"The accused being both blood relatives were well aware that my deceased mother who resides in the U.S. of A has been bedridden for several months as she was diagnosed to be suffering from Malignant Cancer of the Lungs, prior to her death on May 27, 1999. Hence for obvious reasons, my deceased mother could not have on March 15, 1999 executed, prepared and signed the Special Power of Attorney and sworn to the same before Atty. Pangan. xxx"
In his comment Atty. Pangan claims that the "act of notarizing was done in accordance with law and practice." Moreover, respondent emphasized that:
"4. Respondent has no participation in the submission and processing of the insurance proceeds. Respondent Notary Public could not have made use of the alleged falsified document. He cannot be considered as having benefited from the falsified document as he was never a grantee nor a beneficiary [in] said document. He did not benefit from the insurance proceeds. He never conspired with anyone in the commission of any crime much less has taken advantage of his position as notary public to defraud any person or entity."1
The IBP's Report and Recommendation
In a Report2 dated 8 July 2005, IBP Commissioner for Bar Discipline Doroteo B. Aguila (Commissioner Aguila) found respondent guilty of notarizing the SPA in the absence of affiant. Commissioner Aguila found that respondent violated the Code of Professional Responsibility and recommended respondent's suspension from the practice of law for 30 days, and that he be barred from acting as notary public, if he is presently one, or from being given a commission to act as such, for a period of one year from the effectivity of the recommended penalty.
In a Resolution3 dated 22 October 2005, the IBP Board of Governors adopted and approved with modification the Report and Recommendation of Commissioner Aguila. The IBP Board of Governors suspended respondent from the practice of law for one year.
Respondent filed a motion for reconsideration dated 12 December 2005 before the IBP Board of Governors. In a Resolution dated 28 January 2006, the IBP Board of Governors resolved to deny respondent's motion for reconsideration since the Board had no jurisdiction to consider and resolve a matter already endorsed to this Court.
The Ruling of the Court
We sustain the findings of the IBP and adopt its recommendations. Respondent violated his oath as a lawyer and the Code of Professional Responsibility when he made it appear that Zenaida A. Dela Cruz personally appeared before him and executed a Special Power of Attorney in favor of Ronaldo Apostol.
Respondent Notarized a Special Power of Attorney
in the Absence of the Affiant
Section 1 of Public Act No. 2103 or the Notarial Law provides:
Sec. 1. (a) The acknowledgement shall be before a notary public or an officer duly authorized by law of the country to take acknowledgements of instruments or documents in the place where the act is done. The notary public or the officer taking the acknowledgement shall certify that the person acknowledging the instrument or document is known to him and that he is the same person who executed it, acknowledged that the same is his free act and deed. The certificate shall be made under the official seal, if he is required by law to keep a seal, and if not, his certificate shall so state.
The Code of Professional Responsibility provides:
Canon 1. A lawyer shall uphold the Constitution, obey the laws of the land and promote respect for the law and legal processes.
Rule 1.01. A lawyer shall not engage in unlawful, dishonest, immoral or deceitful conduct.
Moreover, Section 2(b) of Rule IV of the Rules on Notarial Practice of 2004 emphasizes the necessity of the affiant's personal appearance before the notary public:
A person shall not perform a notarial act if the person involved as signatory to the instrument or document -
(1) is not in the notary's presence personally at the time of the notarization; andcralawlibrary
(2) is not personally known to the notary public or otherwise identified by the notary public through competent evidence of identity as defined by these Rules.
In the present case, respondent does not deny notarizing the questioned Special Power of Attorney. Moreover, instead of exculpating respondent, the affidavits presented by respondent prove that affiant was not in the personal presence of respondent at the time of the notarization.
Ronaldo F. Apostol, respondent's co-accused in the criminal complaint for estafa through falsification filed before the Regional Trial Court of Makati City, executed an affidavit absolving respondent from any wrongdoing.
1. I was appointed by my Aunt Zenaida Apostol-Dela Cruz to process and claim her benefits arising from her insurance policy with the Insular Life Assurance Company, Ltd.;
2. Pursuant to this authority I caused the preparation of a Special Power of Attorney authorizing me to process, claim, receive and encash said insurance policy;
3. I proceeded to the law office of a distant relative - Atty. Wilfredo Paul D. Pangan to have the said Special Power of Attorney notarized;
4. Atty. Pangan was, however, not present in their office so I asked the staff how I can facilitate the notarization of the said document;
5. The staff told me that as long as the grantor will appear in their office they can vouched [sic] the due execution of the document and they will just include the documents among the "for signature" so that Atty. Pangan can sign them when he comes back from a hearing;
6. I left the law office and fetch [sic] an aunt of mine. When I returned to the office, I told the staff that my aunt is too sick to alight from the car;
7. Being a known relative of Atty. Pangan in the law office I was able to convince the staff that said aunt was indeed the one who executed the document;
8. The following day I returned to the law office and the staff gave me the notarized Special Power of Attorney;
9. That I have not paid for said notarization as I have been engaging the services of Atty. Pangan for free;
10. When a feud between me and my cousin who is in the United States developed and their [sic] was a lack of communication between us, I was surprised that the matter of claiming the insurance policy was brought when almost everybody in our immediate family knew that I caused the claiming of the said insurance and hold it in trust until we can communicate with my cousin;
11. In fairness to Atty. Pangan, he has nothing to do with whatever wrongdoings I have committed in the claiming of the insurance policy;
12. The claiming was done in good faith as no one else in the immediate family can process the same;
x x x.4 (Emphases added)
Laila N. Mesiano and Manolito F. Farnal, members of the staff of respondent's law office, also executed a joint affidavit in ostensible support for respondent.
2.Among our duties is to prepare notarial documents for signature of our two (2) notaries public, Atty. Tiburcio A. Edaño, Jr. and Atty. Wilfredo Paul D. Pangan;
3.The two are very strict in requiring the personal appearance of signatories to documents especially in documents requiring acknowledgments;
4.Even those documents which were left by clients for notarials and those which we brought to them while they were having hearing in the nearby Hall of Justice were notarized only if we will vouched [sic] that the said client indeed personally appeared in our office and executed the said document;
5.This practice in notarizing documents are relaxed only in cases where mere jurat were required;
x x x.5
Respondent's comment gives us an insight as to how the present administrative complaint arose:
6.If there was fraud, it may not have even been committed in the execution of the Special Power of Attorney nor in the processing of the claim but in the way the insurance proceeds was shared. Will complainant question the execution of the alleged document had the grantee turned over to her the insurance proceed [sic]? If respondent has conspired with said grantee in the commission of the fraudulent act, he would not have notarized the document and let other notary public do the notarizing.
7.Respondent has always accommodated his relatives in their legal problems for free. The imputation upon him of any wrong doings in his practice as notary public is only a result of the existing feud between the heirs of the deceased and her relatives.6
In his defense, respondent objected to the evidence presented against him thus:
All the exhibits were not properly identified and their execution were not proven by the complainant.
In fact the original nor a certified true copy of the questioned Special Power of Attorney was never presented. The complainant never appeared to identify her complaint affidavit. The Certificate of Death is a mere xerox copy. The alleged record of the criminal case allegedly filed were mere xerox copies and the alleged passport was not properly identified by the issuing authority.
In view if the foregoing, it is respectfully submitted that the said exhibits are inadmissible in evidence.
The purpose for which the said exhibits was [sic] being offered is likewise being objected to.
The records of the criminal case does [sic] not prove that the accused have committed the crime charged. They are presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
The death certificate of the alleged signatory does not show that she could not have signed the alleged document as the face of the questioned document showed that it was executed before the alleged passing of the signatory.
The passport does not readily show that the signatory could not have signed the said document nor will it conclusively tell that the signatory could not have signed the said document.
The hospital records does [sic] not show that the signatory could not have possibly executed the said document.
The check voucher does not show that the herein respondent was not a party thereto.
The questioned Special Power of Attorney alone does not prove that the signature appearing thereon in [sic] not the signature of the signatory.7
The complaint before us is an administrative case where a fact is deemed established if it is supported by substantial evidence, or that amount of relevant evidence which a reasonable mind might accept to justify a conclusion.8 Aside from his lame objections, respondent does not categorically deny notarizing the questioned Special Power of Attorney in the absence of the affiant. The seriousness of respondent's omission is not lessened by his claim that he "has always accommodated his relatives in their legal problems for free."
The Court is aware of the practice of not a few lawyers commissioned as notary public to authenticate documents without requiring the physical presence of affiants. However, the adverse consequences of this practice far outweigh whatever convenience is afforded to the absent affiants. Doing away with the essential requirement of physical presence of the affiant does not take into account the likelihood that the documents may be spurious or that the affiants may not be who they purport to be. A notary public should not notarize a document unless the persons who signed the same are the very same persons who executed and personally appeared before him to attest to the contents and truth of what are stated therein. The purpose of this requirement is to enable the notary public to verify the genuineness of the signature of the acknowledging party and to ascertain that the document is the party's free act and deed.9
Notarization is not an empty, meaningless, routinary act. On the contrary, it is invested with substantial public interest, such that only those who are qualified or authorized may act as notaries public. Notarization of a private document converts the document into a public one making it admissible in court without further proof of its authenticity. A notarial document is by law entitled to full faith and credit upon its face and, for this reason, notaries public must observe with the utmost care the basic requirements in the performance of their duties. Otherwise, the confidence of the public in the integrity of this form of conveyance would be undermined.
As a lawyer commissioned to be a notary public, respondent is mandated to discharge his sacred duties which are dictated by public policy and, as such, impressed with public interest. Faithful observance and utmost respect of the legal solemnity of an oath in an acknowledgment or jurat is sacrosanct.10
Respondent's failure to perform his duty as a notary public resulted not only in damaging complainant's rights but also in undermining the integrity of a notary public and in degrading the function of notarization. Hence, respondent should be liable for such negligence, not only as a notary public but also as a lawyer.11 Respondent must accept the consequences of his professional indiscretion. Thus, under the facts and circumstances of the case, respondent's notarial commission should not only be suspended but respondent must also be suspended from the practice of law.
WHEREFORE, the Court finds respondent Atty. Wilfredo Paul D. Pangan GUILTY of violating the Code of Professional Responsibility. Accordingly, the Court SUSPENDS him from the practice of law for one year; REVOKES his incumbent notarial commission, if any; and PROHIBITS him from being commissioned as a notary public for one year, effective immediately, with a stern warning that a repetition of the same or similar offense shall be dealt with more severely.
Let copies of this Decision be furnished to the Office of the Bar Confidant, to be appended to respondent's personal record as attorney. Likewise, copies shall be furnished to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines and all courts in the country for their information and guidance.

Back in May, Elon Musk estimated that it would take between three and six months after Tesla found its Model 3 production groove . By the looks of it, that's still the plan, and it's on target to happen in 2019.
Even though some people were concerned that Tesla's new midrange Model 3 would push back the base model further than expected, the automaker says that's not the case.
"As Model 3 production and sales continue to grow rapidly, we've achieved a steady volume in manufacturing capacity, allowing us to diversify our product offering to even more customers," Tesla said in an emailed statement. "Our delivery estimate for customers who have ordered the Standard Battery is 4-6 months."
According to Bloomberg's homemade tracker of Tesla's production rates, the automaker is averaging 4,408 Model 3s per week, with brief production bursts eliciting higher figures. According to Musk's tweet from May, Tesla needs steady production figures above 5,000 Model 3s per week for three to six months in order for Tesla to ship a $35,000 Model 3 and, as Musk puts it, "live."
Thus far, Tesla has thrived on significantly more expensive Model 3s, but it recently threw frugally minded buyers a small bone. Last week, Tesla. Using the same battery as the long-range model, but with fewer cells inside, Tesla was able to offer a Model 3 for a base price of $45,000 with a range of 260 miles. It's believed that the battery in the $35,000 Model 3 will have a unique architecture when it comes to market.
While we know that Tesla has targeted a price for the short-range Model 3, that's about all we know. Range should be somewhere south of 260 miles, obviously, but likely north of 200 miles. It will likely also be rear-wheel drive, given that the mid-range Model 3 is only available with RWD -- two-motor AWD is currently relegated to the $54,000 long-range Model 3 and the $64,000 Model 3 Performance. Tesla will likely let more details slip as we get closer to the target date in 2019.
Perhaps the biggest bummer is that folks waiting for the $35,000 Model 3 will not be able to claim the full $7,500 federal tax incentive for electric vehicles. Tesla hit 200,000 sales this year, and only those who receive their order on or before Dec. 31, 2018 will be able to claim the full amount. That's probably fine, though, because it's a dollar-for-dollar reduction on one's tax liability, and many waiting for the cheapest Model 3 probably didn't pay that much in federal tax in 2018 anyhow.
Furthermore, one Senator has proposed a bill that replaces the current phase-out strategy in favor of, so it could very well come back if the bill passes. Then again, a different Senator proposed a bill that and replace it with an additional tax, so anything's possible.

As rental costs and property prices increase, more parents are dipping into savings or releasing capital from their own property to support the next generation. Research carried out by Legal & General estimates that parents provided £6.3bn within the last year towards property purchases. Based on this figure alone and according to rankings compiled by UK Finance, the collective voice for the banking and finance industry, the so-called Bank of Mum & Dad is effectively the 11th largest mortgage lender in the UK.
Not all of this money is actually lent: more than half was given as a gift with no requirement to pay it back. In the circumstances where a loan was agreed only a small percentage of parents wanted an interest in the property in return for their contribution.
Despite the amount of money involved and the complexity of property purchases, not all families are agreeing at the outset whether the money is a loan or a gift and fewer still are putting this in writing. No bank or building society would just give a house buyer money without having their interests properly protected and it’s time that the Bank of Mum and Dad took the same approach if they require repayment.
With the average parental contribution now standing at £24,100 (£31,000 in London), it can prove a potential minefield for parents and children alike if it’s not clear at the outset whether the money given is a gift or a loan, and the arrangement is recorded in writing. While parents may be happy to support their own children, if the contribution ends up with someone outside the family, it’s likely to cause additional problems when there are considerable sums involved.
That situation was the focus of the High Court recently, when a mother tried to secure the return of the contribution she had made to her son’s property purchase, after he died leaving everything to his wife. In Farrell v Burden, Mrs Farrell loaned her son £170,000 in 2005, and he repaid £90,000 later that same year, but with no further capital sums or interest paid after that. When he died 11 years later, leaving nothing to his mother, she took action to recover the outstanding amount she said was due from his estate. His widow, Ms Burden, claimed that the money had been given to the couple, and not loaned. In the absence of any documentation, the court said the payment was a gift in the eyes of the law. Mrs Farrell was ordered to pay the costs of the estate in the action, reportedly around £100,000, as well as losing her claim for the money. While she appealed the case, the High Court upheld the judgement on the grounds of lack of evidence, as she had not asked her son or his wife to sign anything that would support her claim.
Recording everything in writing is not just important for setting out a loan to ensure money is repaid. It is equally important to show where it has been made as a gift for inheritance tax planning purposes. Documents which confirm when the money was paid and that it was made with the intention of being a gift may be crucial, if it is to take advantage of the rules concerning such gifts when inheritance tax is calculated on the death of the giver. In addition, most mortgage lenders will need to be clear about where the balance of the purchase money is coming from, and whether or not it will need to be repaid.

Allen, T. D., Johnson, H., Rodopman, O. B., Ottinot, R. C., & Biga, A. (2009). Mentoring and protégé narcissistic entitlement. Journal of Career Development, 35, 385-405
There has been relatively little research incorporating personality into the study of mentoring. Yet because personality characteristics influence individual behavior, as well as interpersonal interactions, they likely play a role in the effectiveness of mentoring relationships (Turban & Lee, 2007). The objective of the Mentoring and Protégé Narcissistic Entitlement study is to address this gap in the literature by examining the role of protégé (mentee) narcissistic entitlement (NE) in the context of mentoring relationships.
Background – What is narcissism entitlement (NE)?
Narcissistic entitlement (NE) refers to a dis-positional variable that reflects preoccupation with the expectation of special and preferential treatment from others. Narcissism involves the admiration of the self and the belief that one merits a special place in the world. It reflects a syndrome of relatively diverse behaviors (Raskin & Terry, 1988). Specifically, individuals high in narcissism are grandiose, believe they are unique, are hypersensitive to criticism, lack empathy for others, are exploitative, and are absorbed with fantasies of personal greatness and power (American Psychiatric Association, 1994;Campbell, 1999). Additionally, individuals high in narcissism are motivated to establish their superiority over others (Bushman & Baumeister, 1998). It is important to note that this present study investigates narcissism associated traits rather than a clinically diagnosed personality disorder.
How does NE influence career mentoring for youth?
Individuals with narcissistic tendencies enter relationships in the service of their own self-enhancement. They have difficulty establishing true intimacy with others because of a fear of abandonment and the need to derive self-enhancement through their interpersonal relationships. Finally, individuals high in narcissism seek admiration from their relationship partners and associate the self with idealized others. Because mentoring is a relational experience that inspires mutual growth, learning, and career development, it seems likely that individuals with NE tendencies will have difficulty realizing the full potential of what a mentoring relationship has to offer. As noted by Turban and Lee (2007), personality may be relevant to who is more or less likely to enter into a mentoring relationship as well as to outcomes associated with the relationship
Data were collected via an online survey. Doctoral program alumni from a single industrial and organizational psychology program were contacted and asked to participate and to forward the link to other colleagues. A total of 253 individuals responded to the survey and of the 253, 132 had experience as a mentee. Four items from the narcissistic entitlement dimension of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; Raskin & Terry, 1988) were used (e.g., ‘‘I insist on getting the respect that is due to me.’’). Responses were made on a 5-point scale that ranged from ‘‘strongly disagree’’ to ‘‘strongly agree.’’ Responses to the items were averaged and higher scores indicated greater narcissistic entitlement.
Mentee experiences were explored through the survey, including relationship duration, support, experience, commitment and overall quality.
Mentoring relationships involving mentees with higher NE were shorter in duration than were mentorships involving mentees lower in NE. Likewise, mentees scoring higher in NE reported less careers support and more negative mentoring experiences than did mentees lower in NE.
The findings have several implications. Individuals are almost universally advised to seek out mentoring relationships as a form of career development and heralded with information regarding the many benefits of such relationships. However, little guidance is provided regarding the possible pitfalls associated with mentoring and the role that the individual plays in determining the course and quality of the relationship. Potential mentees (and mentors) should be reminded that some mentoring relationships may be mutually beneficial and fulfilling whereas others may be fraught with interpersonal difficulties.
It may be fruitful for supervisors to discuss behaviors associated with narcissism so that individuals may recognize those in him or herself and take corrective action as well as recognize them in others and consequently avoid forming a mentorship with such individuals. | <urn:uuid:bd84523b-f0dd-426b-9806-8c17846d6350> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.evidencebasedmentoring.org/impacts-of-a-mentee-with-narcissistic-entitlement-ne-in-mentoring/ | 2020-09-29T11:24:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.951034 | 887 |
EUR/USD continued to fall on Monday as traders worry about the Greek situation. The pair has been whacked lately as the markets continue to buy the USD against most other currencies, and as the Euro is the absolute epicenter of the crisis. The bailout funds seem to still be on the docket in general, but the reality of the situation is that anytime this pair rises, selling is by far the preferred action. Until there is an absolute solution to the debt crisis, this is a “sell only” pair, and most rallies will simply be a chance to sell the pair from higher levels. We have 1.30 as the next massive support zone to contend with.

Former Black Stars player and Asante Kotoko coach, Frimpong Manso has charged the Black Stars to avenge against Cameroon after drawing with Benin on Tuesday in the on going AFCON tournament in Egypt.
Cameroon defeated Guinea-Bissau by 2-0 in their first game whilst Ghana drew 2-2 with Benin. The Black Stars will also be seeking for their first win in the competition whilst the Indomitable Lions Of Cameroon will be seeking for their second win in the competition to guarantee them a ticket to the round of 16.
Speaking to Ohene Bampoe-Brenya on Happy FM’s Anopa Bosuo Sports, Coach Frimpong implored the Technical team to work on the Team’s defense if they want to claim victory against Cameroon.
“We have a chance against Cameroon but it will depend on how we defend. Because our main problem right now is the back. We can win the game if we do our things right on Saturday. We committed errors in our first game so the defenders must avoid that”- Frimpong stated.
He however, advised the technical team to give Jonathan Mensah a starting role in Saturday’s game in place of John Boye who was shown a red card .
“We should maintain Kassim Nuhu and bring on Jonathan Mensah in place of John Boye. In terms of experience, they are above Joseph Aidoo and this is helpful than playing two new players at the back”.
“We could have stopped that first goal we conceded but because the defenders have not been playing together for long and they don’t understand each other, they made some mistakes and we conceded”.
The Black Stars will play Saturday’s match without two key players-Captain André Ayew and winger Thomas Agyepong due to injuries in the Tuesday’s match against Benin.

Paradoxically, the success of certification programs such as LEED can sometimes alienate designers who give long thought to design that respects the environment. Because not everything can be reduced to checks on a scorecard, or a list of features to include or rules to follow.
LEED is also a business, and some property owners, even those with an environmental conscience, don’t want to play that game. The idea is to go beyond the simple application of a recipe, to explore ways in which we can reduce our energy and resource consumption. Even if this means stepping outside of the design framework itself to offer your clients alternative solutions that will allow them to improve the sustainable development aspect of a project.

14-day restrictions for Rathcoole students
Pupils from a Dublin primary school will have to restrict their movements for the next two weeks after a student tested positive for Covid-19.
Holy Family National School in Rathcoole, which has nearly 500 students, sent home one of its classes yesterday after learning a pupil was diagnosed with coronavirus.
It is the first confirmed student case in the Republic since schools reopened.
An email circulated to parents said that while everyone was being notified about this case, the school "will not be informing all parents of each individual further case unless instructed by public health to do so".
Under HSE guidelines schools do not have to alert all parents if there has been a confirmed case. Only the "close contacts" of the student are told.
Parents were also told that siblings of students in the class sent home can still attend school if they are not showing symptoms.
"As you are aware, public health has declared that these cases will be inevitable in schools, and it is therefore inevitable there will be more such cases in the coming year," the email to parents said.
"If any pupil becomes symptomatic you should contact your GP."
Students were asked to remain at home for 14 days and advised that live lessons will be held over Zoom in the meantime.
"I wish to commend public health officials who acted speedily on this matter and our school community are very encouraged with the efficiency of public health officials and their thorough, comprehensive and speedy intervention into this case," said principal Colm Byrne.
"The school has been following all public health protocols for the reopening of schools and I wish to thank the families who have been very supportive of the school's reopening.
"The school will continue to follow public health and Department of Education & Skills directives to schools in all matters, now and into the future."
The school reopened last Wednesday and will remain open, Mr Byrne confirmed.
A spokesperson for the HSE said it cannot comment on individual cases or outbreaks, but said when a case of Covid-19 is linked to a school, "health professionals discuss directly with the person, or family as appropriate, and asks them about their contacts".
"Public health professionals will also discuss the matter directly with the educational facility, undertaking a public health risk assessment," the spokesperson added.
Education Minister Norma Foley said it would be inappropriate for her to comment on an individual case but said the public health guidelines are "very clear".
She said in terms of contact tracing she would not place the burden on any principal or board of management and it is a matter for public health.
A primary school in Co Armagh, just north of the Louth border, also sent a class home after a child tested positive for Covid-19.
Donal Keenan, principal of Jonesborough Primary School, said the child's classmates may be required to self-isolate for 14 days.
In a letter to parents, Mr Keenan said a pupil tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday.
Minister Foley will today appear before the Oireachtas Covid-19 committee as it examines how the reopening of schools has operated on the ground.
Representatives of parents and teacher groups are expected to make a range of submissions and identify areas of concern. | <urn:uuid:eb812a71-8331-403f-b627-95bab42020cb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.herald.ie/news/school-sends-home-entire-class-after-positive-case-39496997.html | 2020-09-29T09:32:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.975619 | 678 |

China will launch its first cargo spacecraft on Thursday, moving a step closer towards its aim of establishing a permanently manned space station by 2022, state media said on Wednesday.
President Xi Jinping has prioritised advancing China's space programme to strengthen national security and defence.
The Xinhua news agency said the Tianzhou-1 cargo resupply spacecraft will be launched at 7:41 p.m. (1141 GMT), borne aloft on a Long March-7 Y2 rocket from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Centre in the southern island province of Hainan.
The spacecraft is designed to with the Tiangong 2 space laboratory, or "Heavenly Palace 2. Last October, two astronauts spent a month there in space, which is known to be China's longest ever manned space mission.
According to Xinhua, the mission will provide an "important technological basis" for the construction of China's space station. The state media added that the spacecraft can carry 6 tonnes of goods, 2 tonnes of fuel and can fly unmanned for three months.
However, in spite of having made so many advances in its space programme for military, commercial and scientific purposes, China still lags the United States and Russia.
China's Jade Rabbit moon rover landed on the Moon to great national fanfare in late 2013. But, unfortunately ran into severe technical difficulties.
The country's increasing space capabilities has been highlighted by the U.S. Defense Department. It said that China was pursuing activities aimed at preventing other nations from using space-based assets in a crisis. | <urn:uuid:0fc28f9e-7ea4-4fe3-8148-3d2453447081> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ibtimes.sg/china-launch-first-cargo-spacecraft-space-lab-april-20-9382 | 2020-09-29T10:38:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.936863 | 317 |

What is Competitive Intelligence? Part One
In its simplest format, Competitive Intelligence is a process that will make your business more successful than your business rivals. If you think of your business as a race then the goal is to get to the finish line first. The finish line for your business can mean a lot of different things- it could mean the successful launch of a new product or service, winning more work, improving your company’s brand or expanding the business into new territories. Regardless of your goals though, getting to the finish line first isn’t as simple as just being the fastest; there are a lot of obstacles between where your business is now and that elusive finish line.
Think about your competitors- some of these will be big, well established companies that dominate the market. They have lots of resources, but can be slow to react. Conversely, there are also small competitors who might not have vast resources, but they'll be nimble, innovative and can quickly react to changing market factors. Ignoring your competitors is dangerous as they are racing, or lumbering, towards the same finish line as you.
Competitors aren’t the only thing standing between your company and your business objectives - regulatory and trade issues can slow down your progress or detour your strategy. Knowing where those hurdles are, and how to avoid them, is an important part of running a smart race. There are other market events that can slow you down as well, so being able to look ahead and plan for disruptive technologies, industry consolidation and industry trends can help ensure you reach your goal. In Competitive Intelligence, these factors - that are outside of your control but exist between your business and the finish line - are known as the Competitive Landscape.
Can you imagine running this race with a blindfold on? Your chances of getting to the finish line first or even finishing at all would be pretty slim. Without using Competitive Intelligence, this is exactly what you'll be doing. CI can help your company understand and navigate the competitive landscape. By researching your competitors, the regulatory environment, and industry trends, the use of CI can help you plot a course that will ensure you achieve your business goals and objectives..
CI can come from a number of different places, including; published reports, financial statements, websites and articles. Using these sources is referred to as secondary-research and will include anything found via search engines or library resources. For a more detailed analysis of competitors, CI practitioners use primary-research which is gathered directly from the people who have the information required. These people can be industry experts, competitors, former employees, vendors and clients. The advantage of primary-research is that it provides the most comprehensive, specific, and detailed view of your company’s competitive landscape. In most cases, companies will employ a third-party research partner to undertake primary-research both to adhere to the legal and ethical guidelines and to ensure objective results.
Once all secondary and primary information is gathered, it is then analysed and processed. The data can be supported by CI technology applications but ultimately it requires the skill and perspective of human analysis to get the most out of the information. The result of this process is Competitive Intelligence.
In the next article, I will share with you how CI techniques can be used to find the best employees to come and work for you. These individuals are usually currently working for one your competitors......

Extrapolations suggest that in Europe approx. 1.5 million individuals live with an inherited, primary immunodeficiency (PID). Despite modern antibiotic treatment, affected patients suffer from frequent infections which are hard to control. In Germany alone, the estimated number of affected persons exceeds 100,000; however, only approximately 2,000 patients have so far been diagnosed. Among all European countries, Germany ranks only second last regarding the percentage of diagnosed PID, although establishing a diagnosis early would be crucial to enhance the prognosis and life quality of patients significantly. By now, new diagnostic procedures and improved treatment (e.g. regular administration of antibodies, enzyme replacement therapy, modern antibiotics or antimycotics, the transplantation of stem cells from the bone marrow or peripheral blood or gene-based therapeutic approaches) have become available.
The term immune disorder (synonym: immunodeficiency) describes various disorders of the immune system. They are characterized by temporary or irreversible disorder of the body’s defence system. An immune disorder is termed inherited or primary if the immunodeficiency - for example due to a genetic variant or mutation - is congenital, runs in the family and/or is inherited. Secondary immunodeficiency, however, is an acquired disorder of the immune system; a common example is AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
During the last few years, progress in the sector of molecular genetics and immunology has led to an increase in the identification of genes causing PID. Currently, we know of more than 150 different primary immunodeficiency disorders. According to the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), there are 8 categories:
- Immunodeficiency with a severe lack in antibodies (e.g. agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency [CVID])
- T and B cell defects (e.g. Severe Combined Immunodeficiency [SCID])
- Other well defined immunodeficiency syndromes (e.g. Wiskott Aldrich syndrome)
- Disorders of the immune regulation (e.g. X-bound lymphoproliferative syndrome, APECED syndrome)
- Defects of the number and function of phagocytes (e.g. severe congenital neutropenia)
- Defects of the natural immunity (e.g. chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis)
- complement deficiencies
- autoinflammatory diseases: they do not, however, display the major signs and symptoms of increased susceptibility (e.g. periodic fever syndromes)
Laboratory diagnostics initially involve a number of tests, including hematological and cytometric examinations of the blood. The chromosomal locations as well as the responsible genes of the majority of the inherited immunodeficiencies have by now been characterized (e.g. IL-2Rγ chain in position Xq13.1) and can therefore be directly analyzed. Some disorders cause a reduction or an increase in the expression of the gene product (e.g. CD45); these changes can be analyzed by immunoassays and/or flow cytometry. Today, there is a wide range of diagnostic options available at DNA as well as RNA and protein level. Therefore, in most cases, the exact diagnosis of an immunodeficiency can be established. | <urn:uuid:a9ac41a0-63d4-41fd-8361-3a93b70f2315> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.medical-genetics.de/index.php?id=primary-immunodeficiencies | 2020-09-29T09:53:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.91265 | 690 |

Joanne Harris, bestselling author of a prolific body of work and delightful human being, recently graced our shores as one of the international authors joining the Franschhoek Literary Festival which took place this past weekend. We had the chance to catch up with her in between panels – here’s what she had to say.
I’m fairly certain you must get asked for your advice for aspiring writers all the time. In hindsight, what advice would you give to yourself when you were first starting out in writing and publishing?
Try be less of a dope with the press; try not to say the first thing that comes into your head because it will come back to bite you!
I’m a believer in learning from your mistakes. I think the fear of making mistakes is crippling and you shouldn’t really think about it too much. If I’d had advice I might have done things slightly differently but on the other hand I might not have learnt so much. So I don’t tend to have regrets about things like that.
There’s a lot of promotional work that goes hand in hand with being an author – book tours, events, travel, festivals. Do you enjoy what seems to be a rather tiring aspect of the job, or is it more of a necessary evil?
Well it’s not necessary because you don’t have to do it. Nobody is forced to do it, and some people don’t.
I do like it – I think sometimes it gets a little bit tiring, but I do find it interesting, and to a certain extent, necessary. The whole of my process has been based on human interaction in one way or another – some of it I get through social media, some of it I get through traveling around, some of it I get through sitting in coffee shops and listening to other people’s conversations, thinking ‘My God, this dialogue is gold!’
But I actually have to meet people, otherwise I know that if I sit for any length of time on my own, I am going to get slower and slower, and eventually my ideas run out. I find that even if I’m a bit tired, things spark off me when I’m travelling, when I’m talking to people, when I’m doing festivals or social media.
At the heart of everything that I do, there is this interest in people. I’m much, much more interested in other people than I am in myself, and so sitting on my own, with just me, that’s not going to be a creative place to be for long.
Your books are never formulaic, and you work in a range of mediums from short stories to musical storytelling. For you, is creativity along the lines of a muscle, where the more you use it, the stronger it gets, or are there times when the muses abandon you?
I’m not sure if I’ve got a muse! I don’t think people from Yorkshire get them - I think we’re just expected to get on with it.
I find it difficult to think of creativity as something outside of me, or something that I have to access. I think it’s just something that’s part of my personality, and if I wasn’t writing, then I would be doing something else. I’d be drawing or taking photographs, or making up stories about the people I meet on the train.
It just happens – it’s just the way my mind works – so it’s not as if that’s going to disappear or dry up. Sometimes I have more ideas than other ideas. But the whole business of creativity being something you have to tap into – like the cloud – that’s not the way I see it.

What are your suggestions on how we can make literary festivals more accessible and more inclusive?
I’m not sure if there’s an instant solution to this, but I think it is quite important to try and bring other people in. I think partly there’s a trickle-down effect from the guests you have. If you have a cast of authors that’s not ethnically diverse, then I don’t think you can automatically expect the audience to instantly gravitate. But I think it’s more than just that.
I think there is a tendency among certain people to think that literary festivals wouldn’t be for them. As such, it would be good to do some outreach, and particularly into schools. I would like to go into schools, and possibly to bring schools to the festivals. And perhaps even have specific ‘for school’ events at the festival. But I think that would be a good start. It would be nice to have more events for children. I think very often, children and young people are overlooked.
I like panels. Now there are a lot of panels at this festival, which makes me very happy, because I think that they’re great for introducing conversations and generating a buzz with the audience.
English festivals aren’t so good with panels. Genre festivals have them, but mainstream lit fic festivals do not generally do panels very well, which is a pity because you can do with a panel something that you can’t do with just one author going ‘Hey, this is my book, read it please.’ You can bring in current events, and things that might be on people’s minds.
But I also think that although literary festivals do a great deal for literature, books and book sales, they don’t do a lot for literacy. And they should. And we should be looking at outreach here, because if people don’t come, then we have to come to the people and persuade them that not only are there books for them and they are wanted – that they will be interested in what’s going on – but that we are willing to make an effort to include them.
How do we encourage a reading culture among the youth, especially teenagers?
Again, there is no simple way of doing it, but I think there are a number of things we need to address. One is how literature is taught in schools. You get inspirational teachers – of course you do – but within mainstream school education there is this awful, turgid lack of comprehension of what books are for.
This constant obsession about grammatical terms rather than actually teaching kids how to use grammar. [We should be] teaching them how to be creative, to understand that they can tell stories without necessarily knowing what an imperfect subjunctive is and why that is important.
And for God’s sake, stop judging what kids read! Stop banging on about how crap Twilight is, and just thank every God you believe in that the kids are reading anything. Let them read Harry Potter. Let them read comics. Let them read graphic novels.
Let them read stuff you think is trivial, because guess what, kids learn by doing stuff. You do not look at your two year old just learning to walk and go ‘Why aren’t you an Olympic athlete?’
This is what parents are doing. When I was a teacher, you got a lot of men in particular saying ‘Oh my son, he never reads anything but rubbish! He should be reading Chaucer.’ No he shouldn’t! He should be reading Terry Pratchett and Steven King – stuff that they like.
You start judging what they read and go ‘this is tripe!’, and guess what? Next minute you’ll have a kid who doesn’t read at all.

You’re a fairly prolific social media user.
Social media feeds into what a lot of us do nowadays. It’s a means of keeping in touch with people you like and you wish you saw more often. It’s a means of becoming accessible to a readership which is becoming more and more hungry for access and conversation.
It’s informative in that I get involved in conversations with people about things that I know nothing about. I’ve been involved with a lot of people who are talking about areas of society and topics of gender and ethnicity and things I haven’t any real experience of, which I’ve been very interested to learn from.
And in terms of how social media impacts the relationship between authors and readers?
If you’re going to interact with somebody then it’s a good idea to remember that they are a human being, and that they will have opinions on things, and even opinions that may not coincide with your opinions.
This is okay! I’m all for authors being human beings. It would be nice if they were, at least most of the time, nice human beings, but that’s not always a given. I think it’s sometimes disconcerting for people if they start to perceive that their favourite author is a different person to the way they thought they were.
We should comment on things, and we should have discussions about things. We can all do it without being confrontational and horrid. I think it is quite important, when you’re in a privileged position, and when you are talking about a different group of people that you don’t belong to, not to make arrested pronouncements, especially when this community is going ‘Excuse me! Right here! Something to say!’ It’s important to listen.
You may decide not to do anything about it, you may decide that you still hold your point of view, but just to deny that there can be another one at all seems to be completely the antithesis of what an author ought to be doing.
Are there any particular genres you enjoy reading in?
I read in pretty much every genre there is. I will read things partly because I like the author; I’ll read things because other people are reading them and I want to be able to discuss them because they have been contentious in some way; I’ll read things because I like the jacket… I’m a tart, I will read pretty much anything!
I’m aware that I have a comfort zone – rereading books I already know very well. I have to stop myself from doing that sometimes and read something new. I go through phases of reading different things – I’ll go through a horror phase, or a sci-fi phase, or a Japanese magical realism phase.
I like YA [Young Adult]. I think there’s a huge amount of really exceptional YA around. It gets sneered at a great deal by people who have never read any. There’s obviously a disconnect somewhere within mainstream adult lit fic and people who like to read, because, let’s face it, a lot of lit fic is almost plot-free and is about fine writing – about which most readers do not give a hoot. Whereas YA is for people who want to read stories and care about characters.
Much of it is also very well written and very well plotted. The fact that we have so many adults of all ages wanting to read YA just proves that there is something lacking in much of the mainstream because they’re drawn to an area where they were not expected to be. There’s obviously something a little bit wrong about the way literary prizes and the literary world perceives the readership and where the readership should be. Good for the readership, I say. Voting with their feet and reading what the hell they like.
I think to a certain extent we have to thank Harry Potter for this, and the Harry Potter phenomenon that certainly gave people permission to read, and to enjoy, and talk about a children’s book. I think it’s an excellent thing, and very good for the literary world.
Can you share any information for our readers about your future projects or endeavours?
I’ve got a book coming out in October which is called A Pocket Full of Crows. It’s a short book with illustrations for adults, although I think it’s probably more of a YA thing since it’s a coming-of-age story; a love story about magic and revenge based on one of the child ballads which is a massive folkloric resource in England which is underused and under acknowledged in terms of its literary importance. It’s basically about how it’s probably a bad idea for a young man to mess with a witch. I’ve had enormous fun writing it.
I’ve got Honeycomb, which is my Twitter #Storytime stories which are being illustrated by Charles Vess, hopefully as we speak, and should be coming out next year.
I’m just finising editing a book called The Testament of Loki which is the sequel to The Gospel of Loki. Hopefully, it will fit Runemarks, Runelight, and Loki all together and people will go ‘Oh, that’s what she was doing!’ and will answer a lot of questions about why Loki talks like a nineties teenager.
I’m also writing a musical with Howard Goodall about pre-raphaelite women, which is also hysterical fun - Howard is brilliant to work with.
I like to be busy, I like to have more than one project, and I also like to work with other people. So I’m really enjoying illustrators and musicians and composers as part of the process.

Candied Jalapeño Hushpuppies with Sweet Butter [Vegan]
For the Candied Jalapenos:
- 4 medium jalapeños
- 1/4 cup (48 g) vegan granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
- 1 cup (170 g) cornmeal
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (8 g) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (18 g) cornstarch
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) nondairy milk
- 1/3 cup (33 g) finely chopped scallions
- Vegetable oil, as needed
For the Sweet Butter:
- 1/3 cup (80 g) room-temperature vegan butter
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) agave syrup
- Trim the stems from the jalapeños. Slice them down the center from top to bottom and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Dice the jalapeños and add them to a small saucepan.
- Add the sugar and water to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the jalapeños until the liquid has thickened and candied the jalapeños, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat (the liquid will thicken more as it cools). Let the candied jalapeños cool completely.
- In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and cornstarch. Pour in the milk and stir to fully combine.
- If there is excess liquid in the saucepan containing the jalapeños, drain it. Fold the cooled candied jalapeños and scallions into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches (3.75 to 5 cm) of oil to 350°F (177°C). There should be tiny bubbles in the oil.
- Drop large dollops of the batter into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the hushpuppies on each side for about 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Place the hushpuppies on a paper towel when they are done, and repeat this process with the remaining batter.
- Just before serving the hushpuppies, whisk together the butter and agave syrup in a small bowl.
- Serve the hushpuppies with the sweet butter. | <urn:uuid:33b317cc-aa0d-4f9a-b0ba-ac93643b0fa6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/candied-jalapen%CC%83o-hushpuppies-with-sweet-butter-vegan/ | 2020-09-29T10:58:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.885963 | 631 |
Rituals to Ring in the New Year
Almost everyone is familiar with the idea of making new year's resolutions. The new year is a perfect time to choose a goal you want to work on to improve your life. What if you could empower your resolutions to help improve your chances for success? There are several ways you can use ritual to help make sure your resolutions do not go unfulfilled.
Cleansing Your Energy
Sometimes, we are unable to find success because we are still carrying around the burden of old, unwanted, or negative energy. It does not always necessarily have to be bad energy, even -- the energy of a situation that no longer benefits us can sometimes be enough to keep us stuck. Refreshing your energy and ridding yourself of energetic attachments is the first step to entering the new year ready to succeed.
To cleanse yourself, light a New Year's Candle in a safe place in your bathroom. Fill a bath tub with warm water, and add Specially Prepared Fresh Bitter Herb Bath. Soak in the water, pouring it over your head to ensure that it covers every part of you. Envision the things you wish to clear away -- old energy, negative situations, unwanted emotions, or anything else holding you back. Allow your skin to air dry. Toss some of the used water over your left shoulder, toward the rising sun, and walk away without looking back. Light a charcoal disc in a fireproof container filled with sand, and burn some 3 Kings Incense or New Year's Incense in the heart of your home to cleanse it. Repeat as often as you need.
Unblocking Your Road
Sometimes, more than cleansing is needed. Sometimes, there are things standing in your way. In these situations, it is necessary to unblock your path to success to make sure your spiritual energy can go where it is needed. Sometimes, these roadblocks to happiness are the result of curses and jinxes placed by others. Most of the time, they are brought upon us by our own thoughts and worries. If you think you have a curse to remove or a situation to unblock, even if nobody has cursed you -- you do!
To ritually unblock your path, make sure you and your home are clear. Take a ritual bath using Specially Prepared Fresh Sweet Herb Bath. Thoroughly sweep and mop your floors from the back of your home toward the front, and hang a bunch of Fresh Ruda Plant above your front door. Anoint a malachite stone with a bit of Uncrossing Oil, and keep it in your pocket to clear your path and keep negative influences away.
After getting rid of the things that make it harder to succeed, it is time to invite success in. This can be much harder than it seems -- sometimes, we do not feel worthy of success, or we worry about the added responsibility that comes with it. Prepare yourself for achieving your desires by expressing gratitude.
Many success rituals are small, every day things. Maintain a positive attitude. Believe that your desires will be granted to you in a way that is in your best interest. Thank the universe every day for providing for you. Wear Success Perfume, or Success & Prosperity Cologne, to improve your overall luck.
When you are cleansed and unblocked, set up a small space with a Success Custom Big Al Candle and some Success Incense. Have a pen and piece of paper ready, and a comfortable place to sit. Light the incense and candle. As they burn, make a list of all of the things you have to be grateful for. Meditate on your gratitude for these things, as well as all of the other good things coming your way. Fold the paper, and place it beneath the candle holder. Repeat this ritual for seven days, meditating on all of the things you have to be grateful for every time. After seven days, bury the pieces of paper, and move on with faith that you will succeed.
The new year is the perfect time to get healthier, find a new job, learn a new language, or do any number of things to improve your life and well-being. Entering the new year spiritually cleansed, with an open road ahead and luck on your side, will greatly improve your odds of reaching your goals. Make sure you stick to your resolutions with simple cleansing, unblocking, and success rituals. | <urn:uuid:86098da1-ca46-441e-ad20-9b723ac2843e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.originalbotanica.com/blog/rituals-to-ring-in-new-year/ | 2020-09-29T10:34:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.943671 | 905 |
Continuing Education Programs
For Continuing Education Programs, such as Interior Design and Appraisal Studies:
Each Continuing Education program is a subpage of the Continuing Education Programs group.
Continuing Education Programs are sub-divided into four sections:
- Professional Certificate Programs
- Personal Enrichment Courses
- International Institute
- Programs/Courses Through Online Partners
We have set up School and Conservatory cards for each section. This allows us to display each card on the Continuing Education homepage, even though they are technically not schools.
On the homepage for each section, we are displaying Continuing Education Program profiles that are checked with the appropriate Program Type. There is no filtering currently in place on any of these pages.
Setting up a Continuing Education program
The first step is to add a page for the program under the Continuing Education Programs group.
It must be three levels deep in the url (e.g./academics/continuing-education/appraisal-studies/).
Use the “Level 3 - Youth and CE Programs” template. Each Continuing Education Program has a homepage and subpages.
To display a header image at the top of the program page:
- make sure the image name matches the name of the program exactly, e.g. “Appraisal Studies”
- tag the image with “program header image”
The right sidebar shows only only the navigation for the current program. To set this up, go to the page details for the program homepage, and under “Template Information”, select “Is this a site within another site?”
Continuing Education program cards
Program cards can be ordered by adding or removing balloons from the program profile.
The image displayed on each program card is controlled from the program profile.
To edit or add a new Continuing Education Program card:
Under the Academics group, select Profiles, and choose Continuing Education Programs. Select a Program to edit.
- Profile link: set the profile link to point to the program page.
- Card Title: if you’d like the program card to display a different version of the program title, you can use this optional field to control the title displayed on the card. Otherwise, the program profile title is displayed on the card.
Credit: the Credit/Non-Credit label is displayed on each program card and in the program header.
For the program header labels, we are finding a Continuing Education Program profile with a url matching the first three segments of the current url (since the programs are all three levels deep) and displaying the boxes checked for each profile.
- Semester: the semester is also displayed as a label on each program card and in the program header.
- Program Type: the selected session is displayed as a label in the program header. It’s also used to separate the programs for the four different sections of Continuing Education.
- Program Card Image: to change the image, click on the image in the top left, remove the current image, and upload a new one (see the Programs help page for more help editing the images).
- Tags: not currently displayed anywhere. Tags could be used for organizational purposes.
- Program Color (in the right sidebar): this color is used on program pages and program cards. It sets the “accent” color for each program. | <urn:uuid:c34ee3ee-4401-4801-b146-2d2e77ac14a1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.purchase.edu/help/continuing-education-programs/ | 2020-09-29T11:02:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.86415 | 701 |
A joint final rule on resolution plans (or “living wills”) for large banks was adopted on a 3-1 vote by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) Board Tuesday, with the dissenter saying it would “significantly weaken” requirements adopted by Congress in the wake of the 2007-10 financial crisis.
Among other things, the new rule exempts smaller financial firms (those with less than $250 billion in total assets) from resolution planning.
The final rule, also issued by the Federal Reserve, modifies resolution plan requirements for large banking firms. According to the FDIC, the changes improve efficiency and effectiveness of the resolution planning process and are consistent with last year’s regulatory relief legislation, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA, S. 2155).
The agency said the new rule specifies new resolution plan submission schedules, which are designed to reduce the frequency and scope of submission, but not by reducing “the high regulatory expectations for resolution planning.”
Under the new schedule:
- Firms subject to “category I” standards (global systemically important banks, GSIBs) would remain “biennial filers,” submitting resolution plans every two years and alternating between full and targeted resolution plans.
- Those firms facing category II and III standards would be “triennial full filers” required to submit their living wills every three years and alternate between full and targeted resolution plans.
- Firms not in any of the three category standards are “triennial full filers” too, submitting their living wills every three years but as “reduced resolution plans.”
Financial firms with less than $250 billion in total consolidated assets that do not meet certain risk criteria would no longer be subject to the rule, the FDIC said. “These firms do not present financial stability risks to the broader U.S. economy that the statute and rule intend to address,” the agency said.
FDIC Board Chairman Jelena McWilliams said the final rule “improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the resolution planning process based on multiple rounds of plan reviews and engagement with firms over a seven-year period.”
But Board Member Martin Gruenberg, voting against final adoption, took a much more doubtful view. “I believe this final rule reflects a serious failure to recognize the very significant resolution challenges and potential for systemic disruption posed by the failure of these firms,” Gruenberg said in a statement (which he read at Tuesday’s board meeting). “These were hard lessons that should have been learned from the financial crisis, when firms of this size, and even smaller, presented major resolution challenges to the FDIC.” | <urn:uuid:ac14c797-e40d-4542-ae36-dc1ea53016b2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.regreport.info/2019/10/15/in-another-split-fdic-board-approves-new-living-wills-submission-requirements/ | 2020-09-29T11:27:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.955181 | 574 |

The Malaria Programme joined with the Infection Genomics Programme to form the new Parasites and Microbes Programme in 2018
- Conduct large-scale, high-resolution analysis of Plasmodium and Anopheles genome variation to understand how they are evolving
- Investigate genetic interactions between human, parasite and vector populations
- Use molecular, cellular and organismal model systems to investigate how genetic variation affects host-parasite interactions
- Developing scalable technologies and resources for Plasmodium experimental genetics using both in vitro and in vivo model systems
- Develop new methods to investigate extracellular low-affinity interactions between P. falciparum extracellular proteins and host receptors
Malaria is a debilitating and sometimes fatal illness that is caused by infection with Plasmodium parasites that are passed between people by Anopheles mosquitoes. Despite progress in fighting the illness, nearly half the world’s population – 3.4 billion people in 97 countries – are at risk. In 2012, there were 207 million reported cases and 627,000 deaths, with the majority of deaths among African children under the age of five (WHO Malaria Report, 2013). Developing an effective malaria vaccine and fighting antimalarial drug resistance remain major global public health challenges.
By integrating genomics with experimental research and operating both at scale, the Malaria programme is uniquely placed to tackle key challenges in malaria control, including the development of effective genomic surveillance of drug and insecticide resistance, and identifying and validating new drug and vaccine targets.
The Parasite Genomics group uses comparative and functional genomics approaches to investigate the biology of helminths and protozoan parasites.

Over the years since Ewing Athletics has returned, they sure have made a splash in the sneaker community. Keeping it original will have fans of the Knicks, Patrick Ewing and OG sneakerheads remembering the good ol days. But it’s time for the younger generation to wear some 90s nostalgia that isn’t from JB or Nike. Starting soon, Ewing Athletics will start releasing some of their sneakers in Kids sizes.
The first pair to release for kids will be the iconic Ewing 33 Hi, hands down their best selling and looking (our opinion) shoe. Blessing them will be all red suede upper with minimal use of black on the midsole and velcro, white will just be used on the signature.
For now we don’t have a specific release time for the Kids Ewing 33 Hi, but we suspect within the next couple of months. | <urn:uuid:ae36ce12-5e0a-4589-949a-3e60e31cabfd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sneakerfiles.com/ewing-athletics-release-kids-sizes/ | 2020-09-29T10:35:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.911793 | 182 |
From the December 1941 American Rifleman, an article on offhand rifle shooting by Harry M. Pope.
This is written with the hope that it will help keep riflemen generally to make better offhand scores; it is based upon many years of shooting and as many years' association with the best offhand shooters that this country has ever produced, as well as my long experience in rifle making, and may help others to ultimate victory.
The Offhand Position This will vary somewhat with individuals, but it must be perfectly natural, easy and free from muscular strain. The weight should be evenly distributed on both legs; they should be straight and not too far apart. Legs spread too far means muscular strain, while in a proper position the bones should carry the weight. As the writer stands, the feet are at an angle of about 60 degrees, the left foot about 50 degrees with the line of fire, the right a little back or square to the line of fire, the heels 7-inches apart. Don't straddle.
In getting into shooting position, it is extremely important that one gets so set that a natural easy position directs the rifle at the bullseye; therefore in aiming let the rifle come to its natural position; then if, looking over the sights, it is right or left, rock backward, letting the left leg hand, swing the body so the rifle will point at the bull, then rock forward, letting the right leg hand down naturally, and you will now find that the rifle points itself at the bull merely by assuming a perfectly easy position without muscular strain. If not properly set, of course, one can direct the rifle to a considerable angle at either side, but when the nerves relax control of the strained muscles to the slightest degree the muscles assume a natural position and the rifle swings off. A little practice lets one get set at the proper angle, so very little of this setting is usually necessary.
Aiming and Pulling In a match of considerable length one should never try to pull every shot dead center. It can't be done, and to try to do so only results in fatigue and wild shooting. No matter how expert, one practically never holds perfectly still; there is always a swing or tremor. Don't outhold your wind. Try to pull the first time the sights swing slowly into a position that you can pull cleanly, to score slightly above your average score. In doing this you avoid wild shots, and many times you get practically on center.
A good score is not made by a large number of perfect shots, but by the absence of poor ones. It does not pay to try to pull centers, unless nothing else will do in a tight place; then be careful. If the sights will not settle before you begin to feel short of breath, put the rifle down and breathe very slowly and deeply two or three times; swallow your guts and try again. Be sure you pull on a slow swing and with a perfectly clean pull.
The trigger should not be extremely tight, but should be perfectly clean and without kick to the finger when it lets go. The trigger guard or lever should bring the trigger finger into such a position that a long forward reach is not necessary. The thumb should be along the side of the stock—not over it; in fact, it should form a gauge to keep the trigger finger in such a position that it comes naturally onto the trigger. This position you must learn to shoot well; the finger cannot be away from the trigger when you want to fire, but in contact with it. The best way when aiming is to keep squeezing the trigger with the finger, then when the sight swings deep into the bull, a little harder touch lets it off. The object of doing this is to avoid sympathetic movements of the other fingers. It is very hard to make a quick movement of one finger without also moving the adjacent fingers more or less, which movement disturbs the aim.
In aiming the rifle (NRA standing position), the left arm should be along the side, the elbow resting on the hip bone if you are so built; if not, then along the side on the short ribs—not in front over the heart and stomach, which cramps the breathing and heart action. Regardless of position, NRA or Army, the right arm should have the elbow well up, not against the side; this pulls the chest open and gives the lungs more capacity; it also allows a straighter stock, and a rifle with straight stock shoots more uniformly than one with much drop.
Breathing It is extremely important that you pay careful attention to this . One should breathe slowly and deeply. Do not allow yourself to breathe fast, as that tends to make the pulse rapid, which in turn affects the aim. If one is shooting continuous scores with fixed ammunition, one is apt to get short of breath before the score is finished and the pulse goes up. This is because the blood is robbed of the necessary oxygen when holding the breath. We compensate for this by deep slow breathing, making the whole surface of the lungs work instead of the small portion in ordinary use. As I raise my rifle to aim, I lift it high and fill my lungs fully; as I begin to settle I breathe nearly empty, then as the aim begins to settle, breathe about half full and hold the breath till I fire; then at once being breathing again deeply and slowly. | <urn:uuid:bfb9d0f7-fc09-4d1c-9fe6-6efbf6e1aead> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ssusa.org/articles/2017/6/1/a-page-from-history-offhand-rifle-shooting/ | 2020-09-29T09:53:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401641638.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929091913-20200929121913-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.945248 | 1,095 |

Chris Brown's daughter gets her star power from her dad.
Chris Brown is a talented singer, dancer, painter, and a great dad to his five-year-old daughter, Royalty. There's a lot of artists that keep their professional and personal life separate but not Breezy. He's constantly praising his daughter on social media and otherwise. In late August, the singer shared photos of his daughter on her first day of school. Now, he's showing that her star potential is clearly something she gets from him.
Breezy hit the 'Gram to share an adorable little video of five-year-old Royalty hitting the red carpet for the first time on her own. Even though the singer wasn't spotted in the clip, the rapper's clearly ecstatic to see her handling all of the cameras and attention so gracefully on the red carpet. But despite the fact that she's the daughter of a superstar, Breezy was clearly caught off guard by the fact that she's a natural when it comes to handling the spotlight.
"ho does she think she is??? ð¥°ð¥°ð¥°ð¥°ð¥°â¤ï¸A PROFESSIONAL KINDERGARTEN STUDENT. 5 and live," he wrote.
In other Breezy-related news, the singer will be releasing a deluxe edition to his album, Indigo which dropped earlier this year. The deluxe version includes 10 new songs with appearances from Tory Lanez, Davido, Rich The Kid, Sage The Gemini, as well as a collab with rising R&B star DaniLeigh. Keep your eyes peeled for that. | <urn:uuid:86f8af97-75b7-4a70-a9b4-9a1c3c753e4d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://cdn.hotnewhiphop.com/chris-browns-a-proud-dad-as-his-daughter-royalty-walks-the-red-carpet-news.92368.html | 2020-09-30T22:29:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.981057 | 345 |
Today, at a media event, President Donald Trump revealed he was taking hydroxychloroquine and zinc as a prophylactic measure to avoid getting COVID-19.
“A lot of good things have come out about the hydroxy. A lot of good things have come out. You would be surprised by how many people are taking it, especially the frontline workers, before you catch it.”
“The frontline workers: many many are taking it. I happen to be taking it … I am taking it. Hydroxychloroquine.”
Asked if the White House doctor recommended it, he said:
“I asked him, what do you think. He said, if you would like it. I say yeah. I would like to take it.”
“I want the people of this nation to feel good. I don’t want them feeling sick. And there is a very good chance this is having an impact.”
“So I am taking the two: the zinc and the hydroxy.”
“All I can tell you: so far I seem to be OK.”
Trump’s declaration, which was apparently not planned, made immediately the headlines.
The mainstream media seemed instantly very concerned about the health of the president, saying the “unproven and controversial treatment” could “cause dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities” and “could significantly increases the risk of death.”
CNN’s Dr Sanjay Gupta was very clear: “He shouldn’t be taking it.”
Fox News’s Neil Cavuto was even more concerned: “This will kill you.”
Here are some first reactions:
The strongest warning came unexpectedly from Fox News. Reporter Neil Cavuto said: “If you are in a risky population, and you were taking this, as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus, or in a worst case scenario you were dealing with the virus, and you are in this vulnerable population, it will kill you. I cannot stress it enough. This will kill you.
CNN: “Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine though health experts question its effectiveness.” “The admission was a dramatic development in Trump’s attempts to promote hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus, which began earlier in the outbreak and has been met with resistance from medical professionals.” “The FDA has warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat the novel coronavirus and said they should only be used in hospitals or clinical trials because they can kill or cause serious side effects.”
CNN’s Dr Sanjay Gupta: “He shouldn’t be taking it. His own FDA has said it is still something under investigation. It should not be taken outside a clinical trial. Only hospitalized patients should be getting it.“
(note here that Dr Sanjay Gupta demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of Hydroxychloroquine-Based treatments for COVID-19)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could not agree more, especially given the age and “morbidly obese” weight of the president … (hilarious) … CNN’s Anderson Coopers seems ok with Pelosi’s analysis.
MSNBC: “Despite FDA warnings, Trump says he’s been taking hydroxychloroquine for weeks. President Donald Trump on Monday said he has been taking hydroxychloroquine, an unproven and controversial treatment for COVID-19 that he has vigorously promoted, for weeks. The FDA has warned against using the drug outside of hospital settings.”
NY Times: Trump Says He Takes Drug Against Covid-19. There’s No Proof It Works. … The F.D.A. has warned that the drug can cause dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities in coronavirus patients. … Mr. Trump has in recent weeks stopped talking about the drug that he had been touting as a possible miracle cure. But on Monday, he appeared to relish telling reporters that he was taking it, with approval from the White House physician.
USA Today: Trump “is taking hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug that he’s repeatedly touted as a treatment for coronavirus, despite warnings about its effectiveness.” Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19,” the FDA warned.
Washington Post: “Trump, dismissing safety concerns, says he is taking hydroxychloroquine. There are indications that the anti-malaria drug significantly increases the risk of death for some covid-19 patients, particularly those with heart problems.”
WSJ: “President Trump Says He Is Taking Hydroxychloroquine
The antimalarial drug that he has cited as a possible treatment for the coronavirus needs further study and could be harmful, some scientists have cautioned.”
BBC News: “Trump taking unproven drug hydroxychloroquine.” The President “is taking hydroxychloroquine – which health officials have warned may be unsafe – to ward off coronavirus.” “The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says there are no approved drugs or therapeutics to prevent or treat Covid-19. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last month issued an advisory that hydroxychloroquine has “not been shown to be safe and effective”. It cited reports that the drug can cause serious heart rhythm problems in Covid-19 patients.”

Extendable electronic distress flare
People taking part in boating activities at sea regularly fall overboard. Tide and wind cause missing people to drift and results in the need for time consuming searches, increasing the risk of death. There are a number of products designed for this situation and although they are effective in helping SAR services locate a person they have operational flaws and are not designed to be carried on an individual. 95% of users keep a product like this on their vessel but almost none keep them on their persons due to factors such as size and weight. The LifeSafe Flare is an extendable electronic distress flare. It is safer than traditional flares, has a longer illumination time and is visible from 5.5 nautical miles. It also allows the user to keep it on their persons with ease through use of a simple belt clip and lanyard. | <urn:uuid:22a1d6d5-ad05-4b86-a8a2-93162c5643b2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://portfolio.madeinbrunel.com/2015/jack-rose/lifesafe-flare/ | 2020-09-30T21:19:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.968936 | 179 |
The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people. (Ezekiel 12:1-2 NIV)
How can prophetic truth be so distorted or misunderstood by so many who boast that they love Scripture? “God said it. I believe it. That settles it!” is the mantra of Gospel preachers and Bible believers alike. But does this bold declaration apply when Jesus’ testimony conflicts with the teaching of our pastors.
A case in point involves Jesus’ promise of “Great tribulation” or “time of great distress” (Greek thlipsis megala). “Great distress or tribulation” is mentioned four times in the context of the Bible’s teaching on the end times (Daniel 12:1, Matthew 24:21, Luke 21:23, Revelation 7:14). Examining these prophecies in their context, using the basic rules for interpretation, how can so-called Bible-believers assert “in the rapture the Church will escape the great tribulation”? Could it be that they have eyes, but do not see?
Do many Christian leaders have ears, yet fail to hear? A friend noted the term “the elect” or “chosen” used in Matthew 24:22. With respect to the intensity and global scope of the thlipsis megala (great distress) we read, “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect [bold emphasis mine] those days will be shortened.”
It must be hidden from their eyes or how could an entire segment of Christianity conclude that the elect are in heaven with Jesus prior to the Tribulation? The simplest among us will reason that the elect will survive only because the great distress is cut short or shortened (Matt. 24:22). Those who stand firm to the end are saved (Matt. 24:13) through their time of severe trial, not from it. Every other N.T. use of “the elect” is taken as a synonym for the church. God’s chosen people. Why do we allow someone educated by men to tell us it means something other than what it says?
Bible school students often emerge from their training claiming the prophecy in Matthew 24 applies only to Jews who remain after the church is taken up. What about the parallel Scripture in Mark 13 and Luke 21? Are these accounts, also of The Olivet Discourse, exclusively for the Jews or are they two more witnesses against those who reject the truth?
When Christ prophesied to his disciples about the time of great distress in Luke 21:12-24, was he speaking to Jews or was it to his disciples as our “federal head” (see prior post)? The elect are wise with seeing eyes. They will not be fooled. They anticipate their suffering and affliction during the days of Satan’s unequaled wrath.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible. -Jesus (Matthew 24:24)
Who but someone with a veil over their eyes will make the argument the church is raptured before the Tribulation period begins? If ears do not hear, than we remain ignorant of the Lord’s words, “See, I have told you ahead of time.” (Matt. 24:25)
If Christians are unprepared for the thlipsis megala the fault does not lie with their blind guides. If they fall into a hole, it is on them. Before bragging about our faith in God’s Word, we ought to take God’s eye test (cf. Jeremiah 1:11-15). Only if we see through the lens of Scripture will we stand in the hour of our great test (cf. Matt. 24:10, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, 9-12). | <urn:uuid:493c4ddd-9efd-4c88-8b99-d1865a8f3968> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://theprophetsofgod.com/20161010/uncategorized/eyes-but-do-they-see/ | 2020-09-30T21:12:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.953896 | 861 |

Before you read ahead, take a few seconds to study the photo.
Do you know what you're looking at?
Well yes, of course it's an image of a city street, with the tops of the Cleveland skyline peaking above the Lorain-Carnegie bridge. And of course I digitally (and poorly) copy-and-pasted a photo of some graffiti onto the billboard in the image.
Or did I?
You are looking at one of the most recently-created forms of light painting, where, in this case, I utilized a six-foot-tall, fully programmable, LED-based light bar, combined with a long-exposure, to capture a whole new style of light painting photography.
I will have more thorough information on the hand-built light bar one of these days, but for now, check out how it's creator, Jake, used it to visually incorporate sound into his photographs.

Got a burst of energy and have not really done anything to the engine bay in a while.
1st on the list was to relocated the front video output that ran along the top of the fender by the coolant tank. This was a grey RCA type cable and always looked out of place. I had to replace my front radar wire as well so now was a good time to rip into the engine compartment.
2nd clean up the ABS cover and install a master cut off switch(lighted) to keep me from doing burn outs with my street tires Next up was painting PCP stripes on my Half Covers
Here is what Nate from Rebadge is doing for my steering wheel and dash badge.
We will be doing a group install (3-4 Challengers) on the steering wheel badge. It’s a simple but delicate process of disconnecting the battery for a good 10 minutes so we can remove the airbag. If you’re interested in replacing your steering wheel emblem with a custom emblem from Rebadge, check out Speedy’s Garage for a great how to remove the airbag and OEM emblem.
Received my Petty’s Garage rear strut brace and wanted to do a unboxing and installing post.
Before we get into the unboxing and installation part of this post, let me take a minute to talk about the service and speed of delivery I’ve received over the years purchasing from Petty’s Garage. While I’ve been very pleased at their service in the past, this part was ordered by my wife on Dec 21rd (Friday before the Christmas holiday) as a Christmas present. I was not expecting this to come in until after the new year. However I received a UPS notice that my package from Petty’s Garage was going to be delivered on Friday Dec 28th. I’ll be honest with you, I really think these guys are Santa and his elves or they have licensed Santa’s exceptional delivery protocols. I am amazed at how quickly these guys and custom paint a part and have it at my door step in under 5 working days.
On to the unboxing:
As always the product came well packaged and wrapped with all the extra hardware safely tucked into it’s own packaging
** My only complaint is they must use the heaviest type tape to help hold the pad wrapping in place. I had problems cutting it with a brand new razor blade. You really want to be careful with cutting this TOP SECRET NASCAR approved packaging tape, making sure you don’t scratch your freshly painted brace.
Next mod, much better brakes without breaking the bank.
Our stock RT Challengers have a front rotor of 13.6 diameter and 1.10 thick but the SRT rotor is 14.2 diameter and 1.26 thick. The backs rotors are 12.625 diameter and .875 thick and the SRT rotor 13.75 diameter and 1.10 thick.
Now with a very inexpensive adapter kit you can put SRT rotors on the front and Charger Police package adapters to accommodate larger rotors on the back for an all around better braking experience for about the same price to replace your rotors at your local brake shop.
With that said, the two main pieces are the adapters to fit our stock calipers to the larger and thicker rotors. So far I’ve ordered the two brackets: | <urn:uuid:71cad424-3295-4b87-98ea-9c6c2743a0b1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.myplumcrazychallenger.com/?cat=10 | 2020-09-30T21:34:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.958873 | 702 |

Nate and Estella MAG
Nate was to be married.
She was a blandly pretty girl of 24 named Joan. She had darting brown eyes and short black hair, with a face so mild that it withered from memory after a good night’s sleep. Her voice was prickly and clipped. She never spoke more than she needed to, and having a conversation with her was about as productive as trying to spark a fire in the middle of a snowstorm using two splinters of plastic.
His parents were ecstatic. She was studying to be an anesthesiologist at a prestigious college in the West, and her parents were famous musicians. As far as Nate’s parents were concerned, she held the highest pedigree, especially considering Nate was “Mediocre with a capital M.”
Nate wasn’t exactly sure what had driven him to propose. In fact, he didn’t remember much about their relationship, which was odd, for they had been together for two years. They had gone to dinners and plays and the occasional movie, but Nate found the memories decidedly fuzzy, as if someone had swept across the drying ink with a steady hand. Perhaps it was because she was so quiet, so expressionless. She didn’t project the profound, delicate silence that suggested great depth; rather, hers was a dreary quiet that one would expect from a contemplative sloth digesting a bulky meal.
He supposed he had proposed because he knew that he had netted a rather formidable catch. Nate wasn’t exactly handsome, nor was he especially intelligent. He was a “straddler” – clever enough to be dissatisfied but not talented enough to jump the fence – while Joan had made it in one clean leap.
Estella was a horse of a different color: an exceedingly independent girl with a fiery temper and a personality so vivid that the best word to describe her would be uncontainable. She had literally crashed into his life; her bicycle had landed Nate in the hospital for a week. She visited him every day, and he was utterly fascinated by her fearlessness: she walked with such command, and spoke with such unabashed gusto.
He was also struck by the prominence of her features. She was not a typically pretty girl: her hair was rambunctiously curly, her skin peppered with rusty freckles, and she was in a perpetual slouch. Yet there was something magnetic about that jutting jaw and those questioning dark eyes, something that suggested that within the modest frame existed a great, flaming entity awaiting release. They had remained close during high school, and their friendship grew when they landed at the same college.
It was on a cold February morning, a week before Nate’s wedding, when he and Estella met for their customary picnic in Bannister Woods.
“Take a walk with me.”
“It’s all of two degrees, Stella.”
“You have your coat.”
“It’s a pullover, and a rather measly one at that.”
“If you don’t, I’m just leaving it here.”
“You’re such a bother.”
“And you’re such a little girl. Here, we’ll share it.”
Nate flinched as she entwined her arms around his waist; such a sudden, intimate gesture. The two were always playful, but it was a platonic, comfortable sort of warmth. He hadn’t ever had the nerve to go further, but if there was one thing Estella Golightly had in abundance, it was nerve. As such, she would often ignite those tantalizing little sparks and Nate would be completely frazzled, as if a blind mechanic had just re-assembled his innards. He found it even stranger that she seemed oblivious to what she was doing. It was impossible to believe that she didn’t realize that he felt on the verge of liquefaction.
The forest was perfectly silent. The trees were stripped bare, and the ground was covered in a layer of pale white.
“You’d like her,” he said. The words darted out of his mouth like fish in a pond. He could picture her eyebrow rising in mild amusement.
“I suppose. You never say much about her.”
The snowflakes ghosted overhead like wisps of smoke.
“You can come to the wedding?”
“Of course,” she replied in a hollow voice. She sounded terribly bored, and tugged at a stray strand of hair with unusual force. Nate felt a strange sensation like a rash creeping up his ankles. He opened his mouth, when he felt Estella shudder and gasp.
“Look!” She pointed to a small, quivering creature under a maple tree. She threw off the coat in one motion and scooped up the little ball with shaking hands. It was a cardinal. Something had sliced its underside, and its delicate wings were twisted. Its plumage was no longer a bright scarlet like its contemporaries but a deep maroon, making it resemble a pulsing internal organ.
It gave a final shudder before falling limp, and the difference was extraordinary. It was so utterly unalive, a crumpled ball of nothingness, and Nate was stunned at how the bird seemed to have become smaller, as the space around it seemed to shrink. Its eyes, drops of perfect black, were dull and listless. Nate was reminded of his TV set, a cheap little thing he had found in the parking lot, and how the crackling image would swirl into the center of the screen when he turned it off. It seemed impossible that this thing, this cold imitation, had once been part of the world, with its bustling people and noisy machines.
Estella sighed. She took off her hat, revealing tightly coiled brown hair. With impossible delicacy, she wrapped the animal in it and placed the bundle in a knothole.
They continued to walk. The air was colder and as sharp as a whetted knitting needle but an element of clarity accompanied the frost. Perhaps it was the change of scenery: the fact that the lights of the city and the honking of cars had faded into a hazy echo, coupled with the growing denseness of the trees and the narrowing path. The snow continued to fall lazily. The flakes were as delicate as powdered sugar and white to the point of transparency.
“What a glorious place. It’s strange, isn’t it? The idea of something so … so transcendent existing in an infested city, I mean. I doubt you could ever find anything half as beautiful anywhere in the world.”
Nate opened his mouth. He was hoping to say something profound that would sum up the wistful elegance of the forest in one sweeping statement; indeed, the words were simmering in his throat, waiting to be freed. Yet they were hopelessly tangled, woefully unpolished. The usual frustration spread through his limbs. The chances of him achieving anything close to his desired response were negligible, so he settled for a nod.
“When I die, I want to be buried right there, next to that maple. I’d melt away into the soil and always be a part of this hidden sanctuary, away from all that noisy nonsense. And the trees would grow so large and dense that even those filthy whirring saws would be unable to penetrate their bark, and it’ll remain just as it is, even when the rest of the world falls to shambles.”
Nate nodded. They were by the lake now, a sheet of frosty glass.
“She’s a nice, smart girl,” said Nate. He regretted this the moment he heard himself speak. The words sounded clumsy, almost apologetic.
“I’d think so. She couldn’t have gotten into such a great university by sitting on her derrière and eating cheese puffs.”
“She’s also got several noteworthy qualities: she’s honest, always asks what I would prefer and … she’s very nice,” he said.
They had passed the lake now. Somewhere far away they heard bells ringing.
“There it is!” Estella said, pointing a fuzzy finger toward the east. “The witch’s cottage!”
Nate smiled, and gave Estella a little knock on the head. “You’re so full of it.”
“No, really.” She grabbed Nate’s arm and pulled him toward the dilapidated hut. There was a bronze plaque on the door, but the words were impossible to read. The harsh wind had ground the letters down into indecipherable stubs. Estella frowned. “Ah, well, you’ll have to take my word for it.”
“Why’d you bring me here?” he asked.
Estella nodded toward what looked like an oddly shaped boulder. Upon closer examination, however, Nate saw it was a well. Like the plaque, it had been sanded down. Yet there was something imposing about the heap of stone and mortar. It exuded self-satisfaction: it had weathered the storm and achieved a degree of petulant majesty.
Nate gave Estella a withering look. “Breathtaking. Now can we go?”
“Ho, ho. I suppose I can’t tell you the secret now.”
“I’m not sure if it’s interesting enough to receive the attention of the fabulous Nate Vaughan.”
“I give you my sincere apologies, madam. Now, what about that secret?”
“Well, I’ve read that whispering into a witch’s well is supposed to grant you a wish.”
“Fine. You stay here.” She ran to the well and placed her hands firmly on the stone before tilting her head down. Nate was reminded of an ostrich. A minute later, she popped back up.
“Done. Come on, Nate. We’ll probably never have a chance to do this again.”
Nate was struck by an unexpected pang of sadness. He felt numb, and his vision turned cloudy for a flickering moment. While he could move his limbs with ease, there was something oddly disconnected about them, something foreign, as if he were being controlled by a joystick.
“Come on!” Her voice sounded strangely distant.
Nate staggered toward the well, and Estella gave him a light pat on the back before walking toward the cottage.
He clasped the edge of the well, closed his eyes, and whispered. | <urn:uuid:84a5ec48-04ff-42c9-99a1-759bae2d45ae> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.teenink.com/fiction/all/article/49770/Nate-And-Estella | 2020-09-30T21:45:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.981831 | 2,525 |

Dental Veneers: The Great Cosmetic Cover Up
Welcome to another edition of the 1st In Smiles oral health blog! Thanks for stopping by. What brings you to our virtual home today?
…annoyed with the appearance of your teeth?
…too embarrassed to flash your smile?
…looking for a cosmetic dentist in Plano, TX who can quickly fix your problems?
Great! It just so happens that our mission is to make it possible for you to smile with confidence. Our only goal is your satisfaction and seeing how we can best move forward to give you the healthiest, most beautiful smile around!
As far as cosmetic dental solutions go, we’ve got you covered, no matter what kind of issues you are looking to address. You’ll be happy to know that we have an extremely versatile treatment in the form of dental veneers.
Refurbish Your Smile With Dental Veneers
So, what’s the deal with dental veneers? Veneers are probably the only long-term fix that can make your teeth appear to be essentially flawless. Our conventional veneers are highly durable shells that get applied to the front of your existing teeth. They can be made out of different materials including porcelain, which is what we use, and they provide a realistic, tooth-colored look that will give you a stunning new smile.
But what if you need a lot of help? Trust us, we’ve seen it all.
Even if your teeth have been rode hard and put away wet, there’s no need to despair! Whether your teeth have been severely damaged or simply exhibit a few minor imperfections, a porcelain veneer will make it look fresh and new. It’s crazy how much they can hide. The cool thing for you is that veneers make it real easy for you to transform your bothersome teeth into something worth loving. It will be a pleasant and painless experience, we promise.
But wait, there’s more! At 1st In Smiles, we offer both traditional veneers as well as Lumineers.
As with dental veneers, Lumineers will take just two office visits for you to achieve your gorgeous new smile. Here’s how it works: First, you’ll come in for Dr. Barfield to make a custom mold of your teeth and send it off to the Lumineers lab, where they will create your custom-fitted Lumineers. Dr. Barfield will match the color of your Lumineers to your other teeth, or you can choose how white you want them to be if they’re covering a large area.
At your subsequent appointment, Dr. Barfield will make sure your custom-built Lumineers are the right color and fit for your mouth. Then he’ll bond the thin Lumineers onto the surface of your teeth.
Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are so thin that they usually require no removal of your tooth enamel. That is an added perk.
After only about one hour, you’ll be able to walk out of here with plenty to smile about! And if you care for them properly, your Lumineers can provide decades of dental delight.
Why not learn more and get started?
Take The Next Step!
We hope you have been inspired by today’s blog post to get a better smile!
1st In Smiles is a full-service, state-of-the-art dental practice in Plano, TX. We are conveniently located off the George Bush Turnpike and the Dallas North Tollway.
No matter what your smile goal is, we will work with you to achieve it in the most convenient, painless, and affordable way – without sacrificing quality.

By: Courtney Newman
Every family has their own reasons for homeschooling. Some families have religious preferences, others enjoy the flexibility for health issues, and many desire a higher quality, one-on-one education for their children. Finally, several homeschooling families choose this path to help students with learning disabilities. Homeschooling is a unique journey for each family, and it can seem intimidating for anyone, especially parents learning how to help children with special needs.
Teaching students with special needs requires a lot of patience, motivation, and determination to keep the end goal in mind. Most of all, however, homeschooling a special needs learner requires love. You are going on this crazy adventure, this exhausting and amazing journey, because of your love for your child. You want the best for them, and you love them more than anyone else. You want to give them opportunities for pursuing their hobbies and strengths, and you want to help work through their challenges. The benefits of homeschooling include offering you the best hours of each day with your child, as well as a safe and caring environment for wonderful learning moments.
10 Benefits of Homeschooling Special Needs
When families begin to research homeschooling advantages for their special needs child, the process is often inundated with anxiety and doubt. After all, you may be wondering whether you should simply leave their education to the professionals at school. I have to say, these professionals are so helpful. It is always important to seek help when you need it, keep up with therapy or doctor appointments, and keep in contact with the team dedicated to helping your child. We’ve all heard “it takes a village to raise a child,” and it’s undoubtedly true when teaching students with special needs.
However, don’t dismiss your own abilities and amazing opportunities as the parent. You know your child better than anyone, and they trust you more than anyone else — which is an extremely helpful scenario for helping students with learning disabilities. Let’s consider the benefits of homeschooling and a few reasons why these homeschooling advantages may be a good choice for your family.
- Stimuli-Controlled Environment. At home, you can help create a safe and comforting learning environment for your child. You can avoid bright lights, loud bells, and unexpected behaviors from other children. When you know your child’s sensitivities, you can help provide the best experience for learning within your home.
- Fewer Medication Concerns. The homeschooling advantages alleviate the worries that come along with discussing medication with the school nurse and concerns over the administration of medication when your child needs it.
- Bully-Free Zones. Children can be cruel to their peers, especially to those who are different. With homeschooling, there won’t be any laughter over mistakes, or teasing when a child doesn’t understand.
- Target Their Strengths. One of our favorite aspects of homeschooling, for any child, is the ability to explore strengths. When you discover your child’s skills or enjoyment in certain subjects or topics, you can let them run with it, and they will be learning every moment of the way.
- Student-Paced Challenges. The benefits of homeschooling allow for working at your child’s pace, which can be such a relief when faced with a struggling learner. All of us have weak areas, and it’s hard to work through those when you’re pushed to learn at the same speed as everyone else in school.
- Increased Flexibility. Flexibility is a term often thrown around in homeschooling circles, and that’s because it’s such an important aspect of the homeschool lifestyle. With the homeschooling advantages, you have the flexibility to toss a curriculum that isn’t working and try something different. You also have the flexibility to learn around frequent doctor appointments or skip school entirely if it’s been a rough day.
- Lower Anxiety Levels. For everyone! When you homeschool, as the parent, you won’t feel as stressed ensuring everything is good-to-go with the school or helping your child make attendance as needed. For your student, they will feel far less stressed when school takes place at the safest and most loving place they know: home.
- Take it Slow. Sudden changes are stressful for most of us. Homeschooling advantages offer the chance to ease into new schedules, routines, programs, lessons, and so on. If it seems too stressful at first, you can always go slower with your child.
- Encourage Positive Social Experiences. If your child has social anxiety due to bullies or anything else, homeschooling can give them a chance to experience positive social opportunities. You can meet with a homeschooling support group or other special needs homeschoolers and help your child feel more comfortable when meeting new people.
- Zero Restrictions. If your child needs to move around to learn best, they can! If they need to jump on the trampoline to release excess energy midway through a lesson, go for it. With the benefits of homeschooling, there aren’t any restrictions like sitting still, no talking, or asking to go to the bathroom.
10 Thoughtful Articles for Homeschooling Special Needs
The homeschool lifestyle offers an incredible number of benefits for teaching students with special needs. From truly individualized education, a bully-free environment, to the elimination of toxic competition, and much more, many parents researching how to help children with special needs agree that homeschooling is a helpful decision. There will still be struggles, and homeschooling can be challenging for anyone. In the end, though, the benefits of homeschooling can offer a great experience for special needs children. Here are ten of our favorite special needs homeschooling articles for more information and resources.

- Homeschooling Kids with Learning and Attention Issues: What You Need to Know
- Curriculum Resources for Special Needs
- How Can I Homeschool My High Schooler with Special Needs or Learning Disabilities?
- Life with a Child with ADHD
- Homeschool Programs for Special Needs Children
In the end, homeschooling is all about individual progress. It’s about personal accomplishments, regardless of how big or small those accomplishments may seem to anyone else. Homeschooling, at its core, is about recognizing each child is unique and that they can flourish without fitting them in a box; even with how to help your special needs child get a job. That concept is exactly why many families consider the homeschooling advantages a great fit for their special needs learners — homeschooling encourages their strengths and works with them through their struggles. No pressure. No standards.

The Lebanese federal government is “not under any illusion that the coming months are going to be easy for anybody,” the consultant to Prime Minister Hassan Diab on monetary affairs, George Chalhoub informed CNBC’s Hadley Gamble on Tuesday.
Lebanon is looking for a $10 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund which the federal government hopes might assist bring the nation’s ailing economy back from the edge.
Chalhoub informed CNBC that conversations are still “at least probably a few weeks to a month” far from conclusion.
“Negotiations have been very open, very candid. And I would say probably there is a certain sense of cautious optimism on our part. It seems like there is a little bit of give-and-take between the negotiating team in Lebanon and the IMF team,” stated Chalhoub.
However, a previous minister of economy and trade stated it was not sensible to anticipate the procedure to be finished so quickly, keeping in mind that a variety of laws require to be passed.
“And parliament, in the middle of this crisis, is going into recess until October,” stated Nasser Saidi, president of Nasser Saidi & Associates. “What you need is Lebanon to be in crisis mode. Both government and parliament need to be in crisis mode.”
The IMF loan, together with $11 billion promised by global donors at the 2018 CEDRE conference in Paris would require Lebanon to pass austerity steps and restructure both foreign and domestic financial obligation. The nation presently has a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 150%.
As part of these reforms, the federal government has stated it will go for a currency exchange rate of 3,500 to the U.S. dollar. The Lebanese pound, which has actually been pegged to the U.S. dollar considering that 1997, has actually lost over half of its worth considering that October.
Saidi informed CNBC’s “Capital Connection” on Wednesday that he does not believe approval will be given extremely rapidly.
“It will be a hard path to convince the IMF and the international community that Lebanon’s politicians and government are able to implement reform.”
The next 100 days
Prime Minister Hassan Diab renowned 100 days in workplace in May, a chance he utilized to show his federal government’s accomplishments.
However, in among the world’s most indebted nations, where rigorous capital controls remain in location and the rate of fundamental items skyrocketed by a minimum of 60% considering that October 2019, his successes do not have guarantees for lots of.
Anti-facility demonstrations have actually swallowed up the little Mediterranean nation of 6 million considering that October of in 2015.
Those exact same demonstrations, requiring transformation and an end to corrupt practices from federal government authorities, required Diab’s predecessor Saad Hariri from workplace in January this year.
Soon after Diab took workplace, he stated Lebanon might not pay $1.2 billion of Eurobonds, marking the very first time in history the nation has actually defaulted on foreign financial obligation.
Chalhoub applauded his federal government’s sincerity on its financial obligation dedications and informed CNBC’s Hadley Gamble “for the first time ever in this country’s history, there is a sense of transparency.” Lebanon is ranked 137 out of 180 nations on Transparency International’s 2019 Corruption Perception Index.
Lebanon was dealing with a debilitating recession even prior to the coronavirus break out, however government-imposed shutdowns to stop the spread of Covid-19 have actually required a lot more Lebanese into hardship.
Economic growth hasn’t surpassed 1% in the last 5 years, and the World Bank tasks that over half of the population in Lebanon now live listed below the hardship line.
“Lebanon will have to undertake the deepest root and branch reform to obtain substantial international financial assistance and it will, in addition, face severe conditionality — and rightly so,” Angus Blair, teacher, Business School at The American University in Cairo informed CNBC.

From Dr. Michael Aldrich October 23, 2015 The best initiative ever was CMI 1972 —the California Marijuana Initiative. It told the government what it could not do (send people to jail for marijuana possession, cultivation or transportation) rather than trying to make a detailed plan for legalization.
Retail sales were not included in 1972, which was a mistake. But at least it was not written for cops who somehow think they’re qualified to say anything about marijuana, and who think they don’t have to enforce Prop 215 or any other rules they didn’t write. Including the police in the discussions serves no purpose except to give them a stage they do not deserve. They will never ever come around and should not be allowed to intentionally damage everything they can.
A good contemporary initiative would include a provision to free the thousands and thousands of prisoners unjustly incarcerated for no reason.
It would not allow employees to be fired for using medical marijuana.
It would be written for 18 year olds, not 21 year olds (saving thousands and thousands of college students from being the main thrust of law enforcement).
It would legalize marijuana in all shapes and forms, all products regardless of whether the police like it or not.
All of these ideas have been lost because of timidity —as if some voters might disapprove. That is the wrong way to write an initiative.
I approve very much of Gavin Newsom, his committee, and its ideas. The time has finally come when a politician can campaign seriously for governor by encouraging the legalization of marijuana. But you asked for an ideal proposition and those are my ideas. The only reason we left retail sales out of the 1972 initiative was we didn’t think people would approve full legalization. So Joel Fort talked us into doing a mere decriminalization initiative. I honestly believe we would have gotten the same vote— one-third of the electorate— had we included it. And “legalizing” marijuana short of providing for thousands of prisoners and students, and again kowtowing to the wishes of police is not ideal and very possibly makes it worse.
Thank you, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, for requiring that the cases against Lynette Shaw and others must be dropped. The police opposed that too, of course. Like the Republicans, the police think that Obama’s tiny smidge of reform should be ignored. Like the Republicans they want to INCREASE penalties against marijuana. The time has come for California to regain the initiative process (suborned by big companies buying signatures and ballots) and write the most progressive, liberal, free everyone initiative of any state. I think the voters will approve.
Editor’s Note: We had asked Aldrich, who has been advocating legalization since the end of the 1960s:
What is the closest thing out there to a Real Legalization initiative? Has anyone ever written one in the spirit of a “pipe dream,” i.e., not with an idea towards what the funders and the cops might go for, but what would best serve the interests of the pot-loving masses?

We have identified a large set of usages of 4D View in customer applications. One of them is an enhanced user interface using advanced lists, such as a property window for instance. Others are using 4D View to have detailed control of list display, requiring a large set of fine details not available in list boxes.
We also saw usage of 4D View as a reporting engine as well as a spreadsheet. As a result, 4D View Pro could not be a single solution or tool to handle all this cases.
4D View current usages
What about 4D View Pro?
With 4D v15 we already shipped a first feature related to the advanced list usage: independent control types per cell – or using Object Array in columns.
With upcoming R-releases we will see more 4D View Pro additional features coming.
There is no new specific license for 4D View Pro, it is reusing the existing 4D View license. As a consequence, you need a 4D View license to use any 4D View Pro feature. | <urn:uuid:fcc756da-e9d2-4bfe-832c-bd74f5e0e417> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.4d.com/from-4d-view-to-4d-view-pro/ | 2020-09-30T21:32:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.926181 | 215 |
Up until now we have only been able to look at Ubuntu Touch, Canonical’s operating system for Nexus or Samsung Galaxy S III Android devices. This is about to change, as Canonical has published a guide for how to customize the Ubuntu Touch ROM and install it on your smartphone so it works on whatever device you have.
The process itself is very simple, and is very well documented, although in this case the credit belongs to CyanogenMod, the developers of custom ROMs for Android devices.
Ubuntu Touch supports audio, video, and connection hardware on your device, and runs its Linux kernel from a very basic version of CyanogenMod 10.1 from which elements that aren’t necessary on Canonical’s system have been removed, such as Dalvik, the process virtual machine that runs apps on your Android device.
All you need to do is customize a ROM for your device by following the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki, in which you will basically create a version of CyanogenMod and Ubuntu Touch that run at the same time in different partitions.
You basically are creating a dual-boot system, and you access the Ubuntu operating system through the Android operating system that CyanogenMod is based on.
CyanogenMod 10.1 is capable of working correctly on many devices, both tablets and mobile phones, which means that any of these devices could run Ubuntu Touch. They are working on creating a version for 25 different devices (apart from the four original ones), which include the Sony Xperia, Samsung Galaxy Note II, and the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T.
You should also keep in mind that Ubuntu is in its pre-launch stage, still far from having a stable version for these platforms, so all the features still won’t be available, and the operating system could cause a headache or two. | <urn:uuid:80fc8784-1be9-4e72-a70f-1fb0da507d80> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.en.uptodown.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-tablet-or-smartphone/ | 2020-09-30T23:10:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.944038 | 378 |

Sydney-based entrepreneur Shannon Rosie Barge is successfully spreading her insight and creative life hacks on maintaining and balancing a healthy lifestyle. With an online shop, a self-published book, and a new health-conscious restaurant Rosie’s, Shannon has truly established herself as a successful and hard-working entrepreneur in the nutrition field (and did I mention she’s only in her twenties?).
Nutrition and well-being is a very popular niche for Instagram influencers and young entrepreneurs; especially in Australia where the trend of clean eating has become embedded within our overall lifestyle and culture. For Shannon, her passion for nutrition and well-being was sparked due to her own personal struggles with health. At just 3-years-old, Shannon learned she had a skin disorder. Mainstream medicine was unable to cure her, and after finally visiting a naturopath as a last resort, the rash was gone within a week.
“This same cycle between mainstream and alternative medicine repeated again when I was 10 and 16 years old. But 16-year-old me decided to take my health into my own hands. Research, here I come! I put my head into the books and became absolutely obsessed. A few years later I enrolled in my degree Health Sciences: Nutritional Medicine. The rest is history.”
After self-publishing her book, Conscious Cocktails, Shannon has proven her clear vision and take on the concept of clean drinking. The tagline – “cheers to balance!” – says it all.
“Conscious Cocktails is a cheeky and delicious celebration of balance. Health and wellness is so in right now but for some reason this healthy shift has yet to alcohol. If you are going to enjoy a drink with friends anyways, why not learn how to do it smarter?”
In a world where our mantra is green smoothies and pilates, Shannon wonders: why do we straight away go for the sugary cocktails and crappy junk food as soon as 5pm ticks over on a Friday? This is why we need to learn the art of clean drinking and say hello to Conscious Cocktails.
“You learn how to shake things up (pun intended) by creating easy cocktail creations which are guilt free and packed with superfoods so that you can actually nourish your body whilst letting your hair down. Cheers to that!”
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows when it comes to the process of publishing a book, whether that’s self-publishing or deciding to go with traditional publishing – both processes are riddled with high pros and low cons. Shannon says that self-publishing her book was both “extremely difficult but absolutely awesome”. Living in Bali at the time, Shannon says she was constantly brainstorming, photographing, and of course – my personal favourite part of the process – testing some delicious cocktails!
“I was constantly inspired by the weird and wonderful tropical fruits, vegetables, and herbs Bali has to offer. As a first-time author, the process was sometimes overwhelming but I was so passionate about the project that I pushed through. After meeting with several publishing agents, I realised none were the right fit. With so much on my plate at that time, I decided to self-publish. It was definitely the right decision for me at that time, but I think maybe one day I’ll work with a publisher moving forward. It would have been wonderful to utilise their professional help with distribution and set photography.”
Moving forward, the building and creation of their restaurant Rosie’s was a roller coaster of a journey for Shannon and her business partner (slash real-life partner). Shannon recounts that this project was the most challenging of them all. As soon as she left Bali and landed in Sydney, it was all hands on deck and they dived right into renovations in Coogee, where Rosie’s was born. There were highs and lows, but Shannon says, in the end, it was all worth it.
“Hospitality is a difficult industry but I’m telling you, no matter how exhausted I was there was no better feeling in the world than when we had every seat filled with happy, nourished customers.”
Working with her real-life partner as business partners was actually very refreshing and incredibly special for Shannon. She loved it! But she knows that it isn’t for everyone. Hell, most of us would’ve had thirty arguments with our bf’s just on coming up with a name for the business.
“Before starting Rosie’s we were living in Bali and were together 24/7; we worked out together, travelled together, ate together, we were always together. Honestly, even in the hard times with Rosie’s we never even fought. Instead of taking out our frustration on each other we developed an ‘us against the world’ mindset which actually made us grow as a partnership.”
Shannon’s online shop Living With Rosie offers products for sale, programs to reach that perfect health balance in your life, and of course her book Conscious Cocktails. There are two Living with Rosie programs up for grabs – one is The Good Gut Guide, and the other is Lighten Up.
“As I was never working in a clinic full time, I could only ever see a select number of clients. These programs were a way for me to work with so many more people all across the world.”
With this program, Shannon teaches anyone who wants to learn about gut health, growing a stronger immune system, and refraining from adding on kgs.
The Lighten Up program shares insight on a lighter and healthier lifestyle.
“It is not a 4-week detox, a 90-day diet or fad-style approach. It teaches you how to re-frame the way you look at weight loss. You will say goodbye to dieting and calorie counting forever and hello to nourishment, feeling great, and looking even better.”
To wrap up, I asked Shannon what the pros and cons are for creating your personal brand and business brand. For every young person who thrives to become an entrepreneur, keep reading!
Shannon explained that the fun bits are being able to work your own hours and have complete creative freedom. No one rules over you; it’s utter independence.
“You get to trial and error all your creations yourself and see what works for your brand community. The hard bits though are that there is no external structure, nobody to mentor you or work through issues with you.”
Shannon also recalls finding it quite hard to be the face of your own brand at times.
“Last year was a hard year for me and having to always be a smiling happy healthy face took a lot of energy at times. But then again it also kept me in line and motivated to be my happiest and healthiest self even when times were tough. As with everything, it has its ups and downs but all in all I absolutely love it.”
Whether you’re into nutrition and well-being, motorsports, fashion and beauty, or wacky food recipes, any of this can apply to you when it comes to building a brand. Have some fun with it and enjoy creating! | <urn:uuid:26e1b631-e0d1-47ba-91ea-5cb56dd4d7b4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chattr.com.au/interview-with-sydney-based-entrepreneur-shannon-rosie-barge/ | 2020-09-30T21:11:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.97629 | 1,530 |
Some people think they have solutions to life. Jogging is one. I feel compelled to say that after years of trying to get fit; this does not inspire me with confidence at all.
I see some of these the poor wretches coming past my window, dragging their ghosts along. What tortured perverted mind could invent such a thing?
The idea that after a ten hour shift on a factory floor, you should come home and go out for a jog, to me is like saying, “Well, you’ve got a cold but, what you really need is a touch of Malaria!” Obscene mumbling madness!
Where can this stuff come from if not from the pit of Hell?
On looking out of my window last week, I saw a man of about fifty who immediately grabbed my attention; he was wearing a tracksuit and bending over like he was being sick!
I went out to ask him if he needed help? He replied that he had ‘forgot his water bottle’. He looked so ill that I took him into my house and revived him with cups of tea. It took about an hour for him to look anywhere near normal, I also felt compelled to ask if he could eat some food? He devoured a cheese and onion flan, two rounds of veggie sausage sandwiches and three Kit Kats.
Only the Prince of Darkness could bring about this insane purgatorial suffering called Jogging, it is far beyond the wit of man! That poor old man with drooping tongue and badly fitting false teeth. The only good thing to come out of this was that he was intrigued when I said I had a three-word solution to his problem!
What’s that he asked? “Take up eating!” I said. | <urn:uuid:119cf060-eea5-40d6-a746-ddfca2012292> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chrispitts.co.uk/life/ | 2020-09-30T20:44:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.988851 | 370 |
In the last few years, a lot of people in the West have belatedly started to wrap their heads around the idea that whisky made in Japan can stand head and shoulders with anything made in the rest of the world. But Japanese wine? Does that even exist? Well, until recently, it might as well have not existed outside Asia.
Japanese winemaking goes back to the 1870s, but production has always been small compared to other wine-producing countries, in part because Japanese consumers didn’t drink much wine (although that’s changing), and also thanks to the challenging terroir and climate, which made growing traditional vitis vinifera grapes like Chardonnay or Merlot difficult. Tatako Otaki, a Tokyo-based certified wine expert and board member of the Japan Sommelier Association (among many other titles and honors), explains it thus: “The [Japanese] soil is very rich and contains large amount of water, and there is limited sunshine – very different from the hot, dry regions that are well known for their wine production!”
The solution to the problem was, for a long time, to use non-traditional indigenous grapes, which had such an unusual and distinctive flavor that Western enthusiasts were hard-pressed to even consider them real wine. However, Otaki says, “Japanese wine producers are very adaptive and they have bred hybrid grape varieties to suit the Japanese climate. The uncommon growing conditions result in grapes that have a mild taste, and a light colour, and wines that are perfect for pairing with Japanese cuisine. And as time goes on, the quality is getting better and better.” Two of the best-known hybrid grapes are Koshu (for white wines) and Muscat Bailey A (for reds).
The Japanese Wine Industry Is Booming
Today, Japanese winemakers are upping their game and expanding their reach. There are now more than 300 wineries throughout the country, a huge increase from even a decade ago, with the greatest concentration in the Yamanashi prefecture (which happens to be home to Mount Fuji). In addition to native grapes, Japanese winemakers are also using more traditional grapes; Tatano Otaki says, “Chardonnay and Merlot are becoming very popular in Japan. Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are growing in popularity, and quality of the grapes.”
The result is wine that’s being appreciated throughout Asia. In fact, a Japanese winery, Chateau Mercian, was just awarded Winery Of The Year in the 2019 Asian Wine Review, which judges wineries from a dozen countries throughout the continent. (While you’re here, check out dekanta’s selection of Chateau Mercian wines!) It’s one of the older and larger wineries in Japan, along with big operations run by the likes of Kirin and Suntory, and one of the most highly acclaimed — in fact, this is its second Winery Of The Year award.
Facing New Challenges… And Opportunities
The growing demand for Japanese wine, both among natives who have formerly drunk imported wine exclusively and for the global market, means that vineyards across the country need to up their production — a great problem to have! But there are a couple of issues standing in their way. The primary problem is space. Simply put, in Japan there isn’t a lot of it. And that can make planting new vineyards difficult, if not impossible. The other major issue is the threat of climate change, which is emerging rapidly. “In recent years,” Otaki says, “typhoon season has been getting longer and this has been challenging.” She adds, “Yamanashi currently has the largest number of wineries, but the region is starting to get too hot, thanks to climate change.”
However, the industry is reacting to both problems. Small vineyards have been cropping up at an impressive rate over the last 10 years or so. “The small batch nature of Japanese wine is very interesting,” Otaki says, “and means there is huge diversity and uniqueness in the product range. Many wineries are family run companies, making wine in small batches of 15-20,000 bottles per year.” Winemakers are also diversifying geographically, moving away from Yamanashi and opting to plant in other central prefectures like Hokkaido and Nagano.
Japanese Wine: The Next California?
Otaki sees a lot of room for growth in Japanese wine, but it’s based on increasing wine drinkers’ awareness, particularly outside Japan. “Japanese wine is becoming more than just a novelty, developing from souvenir wines to great wines,” she says. “Introducing the category to a worldwide audience will take time and education.” If you’d like to introduce yourself to some of the finest wines Japan has to offer, take a look at our “Wine Cellar” selection of Japanese wines. If you missed out on California wines before they exploded into global prominence, here’s another opportunity to be present at the beginning of a new chapter in the long history of wine. | <urn:uuid:137e51da-4126-458c-84ff-5faf06f008b1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dekanta.com/japanese-wine-isnt-just-thing-award-winning-thing/ | 2020-09-30T21:53:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.971645 | 1,090 |

Happy hump day crafty people! How’s your week going? I hope all is well and you are finding some creative time in your week. Today I’m sharing a card which I am entering in the Back to Basics challenge. This time the prompt is to use paper piecing in a project.
I had a flip through my stamps and decide to use this cute dragon from a MFT set. Like many crafters I’m sure, I have a lot of corners and scraps of patterned paper so I pulled out a pretty green piece that I could use for the dragon and a spotty piece for a balloon. Once I had stamped the dragon I added some alcohol ink and then fussy cut him out.
The white panel was part of a gift with Die Cutting Essentials magazine. I used a blending tool to add some mustard seed distress ink. I spritzed it with water and blotted it before sticking down the dragon and his balloon. I mounted the panel on some yellow card to compliment the ink. To finish it off I heat embossed the sentiment on dark green card stock (another wee left over scrap!) and added a strip of glitter card.
I hope you like this little sunny card and thanks for popping over to the Ginger Ninja Crafts blog.

Forget what you learned about proper writing techniques in high school.
Blogging is different.
You still need to pay attention to basic grammar rules and writing flow but in the words of Seth Godin, your focus must be on the resource online that is so scarce: attention.
That means your writing has to be done in such a way as to CAPTURE and HOLD people’s attention.
Jakob Nielson’s web usability study showed that 79% of web users don’t read on the web.
The Internet has conditioned people to have short attention spans.
This means it changes the way you have to write. So let’s get into it.
1. Attention Grabbing Headline… And A Little Word That Can Triple Conversion Rates
People will decide whether to read your blog post after reading the headline.
So you must create a compelling headline for your posts.
Using the word “get” will have you focused on writing the benefits for your target market.
An example is Marketing Experiments’ work for Encyclopedia Britannica.
They replaced an empty question “Why Try Brittannica Online” to a headline that started with the word “get.”
The headline was “Get Unlimited Free Access To All 32 Volumes Of Encyclopedia Brittannica….”
Conversion rates increased 103%.
2. Wake People Up – The Power Of The Pattern Interrupt
Most of us sit at our computers in a hypnotic state and don’t even realise it.
You need to wake people up.
A really effective technique you can use is the pattern interrupt.
You need a way to let people want to continue reading the post after the headline.
It’s actually an old NLP technique that can be applied to disarm peoples’ kneejerk defense mechanisms and programmed responses and open them to considering a new product, solution, approach or idea.
Blogger David Risley wrote a post recently where he dived into the state of society: The Society of Mediocrity and Your Role as a Blogger. His intention was to get people thinking so he used some profanity in this post.
It was done for the purposes of a pattern interrupt. Since people are not used to bloggers using profanity, he wanted to wake the reader up from their trance and pay more attention to what he was saying.
Now I’m not suggesting you need to curse and swear to get attention. Using controversy and metaphors to current events or celebrities can be effective pattern interrupts in your blog writing.
3. Start The First Sentence With A Short One
Typographical researchers, Bruijn eta al., discovered that people prefer shorter line lengths when reading content online because it appears more organised and easier to understand.
Two other researchers, Dyson and Haselgrove, found that people comprehend shorter line lengths better than longer line lengths.
In other words, short sentences stand out.
The main goal of your website is to get people to read your first few sentences.
Make your introductory paragraph as short as possible. When it’s easy to read and understand, it’s usually a good sign to your reader that the rest of the post will be the same.
Sugarman said if the reader doesn’t read your very first sentence, then it’s highly unlikely that he or she won’t read your second sentence.
Some of his typical first sentences were:
- Losing weight is not easy
- It’s easy
- It had to happen
- Hats off to IBM | <urn:uuid:c2444e2c-26a0-433a-8596-7a9e6872a8f4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://grassrootsinternetstrategy.com.au/3-tips-blog-posts-stand-out/ | 2020-09-30T21:20:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402128649.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930204041-20200930234041-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.926878 | 753 |
